A MAN who ended up with a brain injury after being held in police cells here and who now requires full time care will not face any criminal charges.
Although RCMP officers wanted Robert Wright charged after he was arrested for impaired driving last year, a govern-ment lawyer concluded there was no substantial likelihood of conviction given the level of force used by RCMP officers against Wright and because of injuries he suffered.
Wright was arrested April 21, 2012 after Terrace RCMP officers responded to reports of a possible impaired driver.
While in police custody, Wright, then 47, was injured and after being taken to the local hospital three times during the night, was taken to the Royal Columbian Hospital in New Westminster for intensive treatment.
Police subsequently recommended charges of impaired operation of a motor vehicle, refusing to provide a breath sample and obstructing a peace officer.
A provincial lawyer then looked at evidence from the roadside when Wright was first stopped in his vehicle, evi-dence from his subsequent arrival at the Terrace RCMP de-tachment and interaction with police while in custody and evidence of his mental and physical condition before and after he was taken to hospital for the injury to his head, said Neil MacKenzie who speaks for the provincial criminal jus-tice branch.
Once all the evidence was considered, the provincial Crown Counsel lawyer determined there was no substantial likelihood of conviction, he said.
There was no evidence available of actual erratic driv-ing by Wright, and the physical symptoms of impairment observed by police were not sufficient on their own to sup-port a conviction for impaired operation of a motor vehicle, MacKenzie said.
The Crown Counsel lawyer was also not satisfied that the available evidence supported a charge that Wright had will-fully failed or refused to provide a breath sample without a reasonable excuse.

TERRACE’S fiRST baby of 2013 arrived later than those of other northern B.C. towns but the wait was worth it.
Emily was born 5:27 a.m. Jan. 4 at Mills Memorial Hos-pital, weighing in at 5 pounds, 14.6 ounces. She’s a first child for Keri-Ann Tomanocy and Tyson Vandevelde. As the first baby born in Terrace, Emily will receive a welcoming basket of items and gift cards courtesy of local merchants.
The distinction of having the first northern baby born of 2013, according to the Northern Health Authority, goes to fort St. John where Sarah Nicole Cornell-Martinez was born 12:15 a.m. Jan. 1. The first northwestern baby, Jalissa Stan-ley-Alexcee, was born 9:43 a.m. Jan. 1 in Prince Rupert. And Seamus Gardner was born at Kitimat General Hospital on January 4 at 4:25 a.m.

Idle No More demonstrators hold up signs at the dec. 28 rally at the Skeena Mall. More demonstrations are planned here in the northwest for later in the month.
More Idle demos plannedBy anna Killen
THE iDlE No More movement in the northwest has no plans to go idle and has more rallies in the works for later this month.
The movement, which has seen demonstrations staged across Can-ada since late last year, gained trac-tion – and national attention – with the hunger strike of Attawapiskat chief councillor Theresa Spence.
She began her protest on Dec. 11, calling for a meeting “nation to nation” between herself, Governor-General David Johnston and Prime Minister Stephen Harper.
late last week, Harper announced he would hold a meeting with first Nations leaders, including Spence, on Jan. 11. But the movement is far from over, said one of the northwest organizers, Shalane Pauls, noting the
movement is about more than just a meeting with the Prime Minister.
“The fight is not over just because he has agreed to a meeting,” said Pauls.
idle No More has homed in on changes contained in Bill C-45, the massive piece of federal Conserva-tive legislation which is part of the government's budget plans, but also has an impact on a wide variety of other areas, including the environ-ment and changes to legislation af-fecting first Nations governance.
Two rallies have been held here in Terrace so far, the first at Brolly Square on Dec. 21, and the second inside the Skeena Mall on Dec. 28. The latter drew several hundred peo-ple and speakers included Kitsum-kalum chief councillor Don Roberts.
While the demonstrations here have been largely attended by first
Nations, Pauls says the goal is to also include non-natives.
“it's not just a native issue, it's a Canadian issue. There are many things that this bill applies to, it makes changes to 64 acts and regula-tions and it's bound to affect every-body in some way,” she said. “it's really important to create these al-liances so that we can be a stronger Canada and show our one voice as to what we want and not just what they're trying to put through.”
“[The government's strategy is] to keep people confused, but that's why it's important to hold these rallies and get people knowledgable about the issues so they can make informed decisions for themselves,” she said.
Rally locations are to be an-nounced a few days before each one happens. One possible location is the Kitsumkalum Hall.

NON-PROFIT My Mountain Co-op has taken over the operating agree-ment for Shames Mountain from the Shames Mountain Ski Corporation.
The transfer on the part of the pro-vincial government’s forests, lands and natural resources ministry took place Dec. 21, 2012.
That move followed the payment by the ski corporation to the prov-ince of $125,000 to close the books on an unpaid tourism development loan that dates back years. Paying the $125,000 to wind up the loan was a condition of the operating agreement being transferred.
In turn, the payment was part of a larger agreement which cleared the way for the non profit co-op to pur-chase the ski facility.
The province wrote off the remain-ing part of the tourism loan, approxi-mately $400,000, in return for the $125,000 payment.
Shames Mountain Ski Corpora-tion president Gerry Martin said the $125,000 was part of the purchase price paid by My Mountain Co-op in late 2011 to the corporation.
“It was being held in trust so that we could pay the government,” said Martin.
The transfer of the operating agreement is about the last of the of-ficial transactions between the co-op and the ski corporation, he added.
“Obviously we wish the co-op well,” said Martin.
Although the ski corporation dropped its original asking price dras-tically so that the co-op could make
the purchase, Martin said the pur-chase to the co-op was the “best so-lution” to keeping the mountain open and in local hands.
“The co-op has had good support from people, from businesses and lo-cal governments. It’s had a good re-sponse from the public because they feel a part of the ownership,” Martin continued. “It’s good for all of the communities in the area.”
Martin said good snow conditions last year and this year have helped the co-op establish itself.
Also owed to the province was $130,000 in unpaid royalties and in-terest, an amount that was reduced to $88,579 when $46,767 in interest was written off by the province.
The co-op agreed to take on the $88,579 debt and will repay it with interest over the next 10 years.
The co-op had paid the ski corpo-ration $360,000 in 2011 to buy the ski facility and has been operating it un-der a lease pending a resolution of the money owed the province.
Opened in 1990, Shames Mountain struggled to achieve profitability, leav-ing the owners of the ski corporation dipping into their pockets to pay bills.
Martin said directors did just that a year ago right after My Mountain Co-op bought Shames in order to satisfy creditors.
The ski corporation listed the mountain for sale several years ago for an initial asking price of $1.45 million, a move that brought on the formation of the Friends of Shames, the precursor to My Mountain Co-op.

THE JOBLESS picture in northwestern BC improved slightly from November to Decem-ber, reports Statistics Canada.
December 2012’s jobless rate was 8.2 per cent, slightly better than
November’s 8.5 per cent.
The number of people who declared themselves part of the labour force whether they were working or not increased to 42,700 in December compared
to 42,400 in Novem-ber and the number of people working stood at 39,200, more than No-vember’s 38,800.
The number of un-employed dropped from 3,600 in November to 3,500 in December.
Although the em-ployment picture has improved month over month, the northwest’s 8.2 per cent jobless rate remains the highest in the province with the Kootenays placing sec-ond at 7 per cent.
And in percent-age terms, December 2012’s rate in the north-west is better than De-cember 2011’s rate of 9.8 per cent. But back in December 2011, the la-bour force was higher at 48,000 people and the
number of people actu-ally working was higher as well at 43,200.
In British Columbia, employment was little changed in December and the unemployment rate declined 0.3 per-centage points to 6.5
per cent, indicates Sta-tistics Canada.
Compared with 12 months earlier, employ-ment was little changed, the federal agency add-ed. Nationally, employ-ment rose by 40,000 in December.

It goes in hereRecycling depot tries to make things easier to understand

by lauren benn
NEW SIGNS at Waste Management’s self-serve recycling depot have been posted to eliminate problems of material going into the wrong bins.
Signs with pictures and instructions about what can be recycled in bins were added late last month in an attempt to stop non-recyclables from being left at its Southside depot and to ensure that recyclable items are placed in the right bins.
Cardboard and box-board have been getting mixed up and plastics which can’t be recycled are showing up, says Waste Management manager Jay Maybin.
A common miscon-ception seems to be that any kind of plastic can be recycled, said May-bin.
Toys, household plastic blinds, car seats, plastic car parts, and other hard-permanent type plastic items are not accepted at the de-pot.
“It should be house-hold plastics one through seven,” added Cindi Pohl, who also works for Waste Man-agement, of numbers stamped into plastic items.
The number is gener-ally located at the centre of three arrows making
up a triangle.The number shows
what kind of plastic an object is made from.
“This is the tricky thing,” said Pohl. “Not everything has it.”
If there’s no number on an item someone wants to recycle, a good rule of thumb is whether or not there is flex to the plastic, she explained.
“If you can bend it, it’s probably recycla-ble,” added Maybin.
“If you can’t bend it, and it doesn’t have a number on it, it’s prob-ably not recyclable,” said Pohl.
It is also important that plastics that can be dropped off are clean.
Just as tricky is the difference between cardboard and box-board.
The bin for card-board is for corrugated material of the kind used to make large boxes. It has a series of ridges in it, and will bend inward if one squeezes it be-tween their fingers.
And while some boxes may be made with corrugated card-board, boxboard is dif-ferent. It’s thick and flat but pliable and is used, for example, to make cereal boxes. In the re-cycling world it belongs with paper products.
But overall, Waste Management is happy with the recycling pro-gram, said Maybin.
It has created one full-time job in the city, and bins are be-ing tipped three times weekly, which shows good community par-ticipation, he said.
“It’s running smoothly,” Maybin said, adding the city’s
original recycling drop-off pilot depot was a good indicator for de-mand.
There was heavy traffic over the Christ-mas holidays with the bins filling up quickly, causing WM at one point to temporarily
close the depot until the bins could be cleared.
The Waste Manage-ment drop-off depot started up April 30 of last year, taking over for the city-run pilot that would have evolved into a full-time program had the company not
offered the service for free. The city had slated $70,000 for recycling in Terrace and during its pilot project was col-lecting in bins at the old Co-op site.
Material collected at that site was taken by Geier Waste to
be dropped off at Do Your Part Recycling in Thornhill.
The city had intend-ed to have companies bid on the recycling de-pot job full-time before Waste Management of-fered to maintain a de-pot at no charge.
SAvE oN Foods has tightened up what recy-clable items it will take back.
As of Jan. 1, the store stopped taking back house brand prod-ucts of its competitors.
It will continue to take back name brand recyclable containers, delivering deposits back in return.
And it will take back other products, four-litre plastic milk jugs, for example in return for store loyalty points as a way of providing an incentive to recycle.
Save on manager Darren Davies said part of the reasoning behind not taking com-petitor containers is to encourage other outlets
to develop their own recycling incentive pro-grams.
“We should see if we can try to pressure some of the other retail-ers into doing it,” said Davies.
It also costs Save on money to take back competitors’ contain-ers.
That’s because there’s no central sys-tem that handles recy-cling deposits.
So if Save on takes back, for instance, a house brand product from another store and refunds the deposit, there’s no way it can be repaid by that other store.
That means Save on, in a sense, is then sub-
sidizing its competitors, said Davies.
“We’re taking the brunt of all that as well,” said Davies of recycling products.
“As far as I know we are the only retailer that gives any sort of incentive for anything outside of that deposit,” he said of the Save on program.
“We’re trying to do our part helping the en-vironment by encour-aging people to return their recyclables,” Da-vies said.
“If you want to re-cycle and do the right thing then you should be supporting the re-tailer that is doing that, which is us.”
Save on Foods will
continue to accept con-tainers and wrapping from its house brands, chiefly Western Family, as well as those from other brands with which it has arrangements.
A list of those brands is available at Save on’s recycling counter.
Brands like Coca Cola, for example, will also be accepted, he said, as the store sells those too and it would be hard to tell from where the containers originated.
In general, Save on accepts material includ-ing box board, plas-tic, plastic bags, other plastic, pop cans, other cans, milk jugs, glass, and milk and juice car-tons.

THAT old cliche, “what a differ-ence a year makes” may apply to what happened in some situations between early 2012 and this new year of 2013 but certainly not to En-bridge’s planned Northern Gateway pipeline project.
Just as 2012 opened with the � rst round of federal environmental re-view hearings taking place in Kiti-mat, 2013 features pretty much the same, only the hearing location this week is in Victoria.
Those opposed to the project and those in favour continue to duel over the results of public opinion polls as to whether or not there’s a quanti� -able swing in either direction and whether public opinion polls are val-id foundations with which to craft public policy.
Just as it did in January 2012, En-bridge has doggedly stuck to a basic message – don’t judge until all of the facts about the project are out there for evaluation and consideration.
Enbridge’s many detractors con-tinue to point to any number of op-erational calamities elsewhere – top of the list, of course, is Enbridge’s Michigan oil spill – as a reason to have Gateway placed on a high shelf in a far back storage room.
What also hasn’t changed over the past year is that somehow in some-place and at sometime oil from Al-berta is going to make its way to the west coast. Whether that’s going to be through Northern Gateway or not is a debate that will also still be with us a year from now.

The demand by Chief Theresa Spence of the Attawapis-kat reserve for a
nation-to-nation face-to-face meeting with Prime Minis-ter Harper and the governor general was designed to fail. The prime minister cannot be expected to meet with every one of Canada’s 650 chiefs who has a gripe.
The Governor General ex-plained in a TV interview he is not a member of the gov-ernment; his job is to stay out of day-to-day politics.
Spence isolated herself on Victoria Island in the middle of the frozen Ottawa River, going daily to an Ottawa ho-tel for a hot shower, ignoring phone calls and text messag-es. How should Harper have been in touch with her? By smoke signals? Or by tying a note to a rock and throwing it down from the Parliament Buildings on the river bank?
She refused to meet with the Federal Minister of Ab-original and Northern Af-fairs, John Duncan as Green party leader Elizabeth May urged her to do. Though Duncan would be unable to pencil her in on Harper’s day timer, he might at least have smoothed a path to the meet-
ing she sought.Or Spence might have
copied the stance of Chief Garrison Setee of Manito-ba’s Cross Lake First Nation who called on Prime Minis-ter Harper to withdraw Bill C-45. If many of parliament’s 308 MPs supported Setee’s request, Harper might have agreed to set the bill aside for further discussion.
Reports are that 20 op-position MPs and a crowd of protesters visited her Decem-ber 30 for a photo op. And that is always one of Spen-ce’s aims – grandstanding. She used the same tactic one year ago when she declared a housing emergency in her
2,000 member community. Ottawa responded, hauled in and set up 40 prefab homes. Did Spence ever say thank you? If she did, I missed it.
Those opposed to Harper’s omnibus Bill C-45 say there’s good reason to do so because it changes many things, in-cluding the Canadian Indian Act regarding how Reserve lands are managed, making them easier to develop and be taken away from the First Nation people. The bill also removes thousands of lakes and streams from the list of federally protected bodies of water.
Oddly, media haven’t re-ported support for Spence’s position coming from chiefs of successful, self-sustaining bands. Why is that?
Proponents of Bill C-45, however, argue that the bill would demand more ac-countability from highly paid chiefs and their support staff, and reduce corruption and nepotism. Perhaps that’s the part of Bill C-45 Chief Spence is secretly opposed to? Examination of Spence’s reserve � nances in Decem-ber, 2011 showed she and top band members were receiv-ing huge salaries while 25 families froze in squalid un-
heated tents and � imsy ply-wood shacks.
When Maclean’s maga-zine reported the chief’s Facebook page shows she has set up a bank account in the name of spouse Clayton Kennedy to collect donations with Kennedy rather than the Attawapiskat band council controlling the funds, I tuned out her hunger strike. Solicit-ing donations undercuts the serious intent of her hunger strike, smacking of a public-ity ploy and self interest.
Chief Spence violated one cardinal negotiating rule when she vowed to starve to death, if necessary, to gain a face-to-face meeting with Harper and the governor gen-eral. Successful negotiators leave their opponent wiggle room for a face-saving exit. Spence should also have left herself a graceful way to modify her demand without capitulating. She did neither.
Luckily for Spence, As-sembly of First Nations chief Shawn Atleo late last week diplomatically arranged a meeting between PM Harper and a delegation of Assembly of First Nation chiefs January 11. It will save this publicity seeker’s face and possibly her life.

The Mail Bag
The northwest received some good news for 2013 right at the end of 2012 in the form of an
announcement that Chevron is taking a 50 per cent share in the KM LNG project, the largest of the northwest liquefied natural gas projects so far to receive envi-ronmental approval.
The surprise was not so much the arrival on the scene of such an important player in the global LNG gas market - although I had expected Exxon to be the one - but that it took as long as it did.
EOG and Encana, both 30 per cent owners of KM LNG, had been grumbling about the lack of progress on the project and they as well as 60 per cent majority owner Apache had indicated they were prepared to sell up to a 30 per cent share.
One thing that always both-ered me about the project was that ownership was in the hands of that trio.
Granted, they are reputable companies with a good track re-cord and have ample proven and potential natural gas reserves to
supply the proposed plant.However, to my knowledge
they were not pipeline build-ers and, more importantly, they lacked experience in LNG.
(While Apache has a stake in the Wheatstone LNG project in Australia, it is very much a junior partner at just 13 per cent with Chevron owning 64 per cent.)
The latter may help to explain in part why KM LNG hasn’t been able to make any headway on nailing down buyers for its product, a circumstance that has delayed an official announcement that the project is a ‘go’.
Asian customers are not go-ing to make the sort of long term commitment KM LNG was look-ing for without being confident in the source of supply. How confi-dent were they likely to be relying on three rookies in the business?
Despite all the prep work that has been going on at the Beese Cove site near Kitimat, there has been a growing impression that the project was spinning its wheels.
The FEED study - front end engineering and design - was
originally supposed to be com-pleted a year ago. Today there is still no firm date for its comple-tion.
On the pipeline itself, while Shell (Kitimat) and BG (Prince Rupert) swiftly followed their an-nounced intention to build LNG plants with the naming of the pipeline builder for their projects, there has been nary a word from KM LNG.
Add in the lack of progress on
contracts and you do not have a very inspiring picture.
That was reflected in a TD Se-curities report from September 27. Assessing the likelihood of the various northwest LNG proj-ects going ahead, it rated Shell and BG as ‘high’ but KM LNG only as ‘medium’.
That despite the fact that KM LNG has all its environmental approvals and a licence to export while the other two have only just started down that long road.
Now that EOG and Encana have been bought out by Chevron and Apache with each now own-ing half of the project and Chev-ron taking on responsibility for the plant and pipeline, I suspect that if TD were to do an update today, they would give KM LNG top rating.
But there is still one more shoe to drop, the buy-in by Asian cus-tomers.
In a June 2012 study of LNG markets, PFC Energy stated, “The ability to secure equity in the en-tire value chain is a critical value creator and it also enhances secu-rity of supply as buyers have di-
rect knowledge of and participat-ing interests in the projects that supply them.”
In other words, the potential customers want a slice of the LNG plant, pipeline and gas field pies.
Shell obviously knows the game - Korea Gas, Mitsubishi and PetroChina all have a share in its proposed project.
Chevron as well since their KM LNG deal includes their pur-chase of a piece of the action in the natural gas fields that will feed the Kitimat plant.
Quite when there will be an announcement of Asian participa-tion in the KM LNG project “val-ue chain” is unknown, but I sus-pect it will not be long in coming.
In the meantime, the involve-ment of Chevron certainly means the project is finally starting to get some traction.
And that can only be good for Terrace since this community has always benefited from industrial activity in Kitimat, particularly in the retail and service industry sectors.

Dear Sir:The BC Liberals’
job creation program promotion, spending millions in advertising, is working, but not for Canadians.
I am not talking about the 200,000 for-eign workers in B.C. or the Chinese miners tak-ing B.C. jobs, but local manufacturing jobs.
With an election
around the corner soon the Socred/ Liberals will increase the talk and ads regarding the fast ferries built by the NDP.
It is difficult to argue that this undertaking was a success. The idea was good; the design wrong, the blame rests with the marine archi-tects not the NDP.
At least the five
hundred workers plus the spin off, for sev-eral years paid taxes and contributed to the economy rather than being unemployed and a burden to society. It would be very interest-ing if some financial wizard would crunch the numbers, my hunch is that these workers contribution might well come close to the mon-
ies spent on the ferries. At the very least, well paying meaningful Jobs were created for British Columbians.
The B.C. Liberals Job creators certainly are doing it differently; they built their ferries in Germany, creating thousands of Jobs for Germans. They are now ordering two new Sea buses for Vancou-
ver, this time built in Holland creating two hundred million dol-lars in jobs and spin offs. Shame on you Ms. Clark.
The jobs created by this government are for foreign workers, ad agencies, job czars and spin doctors, not for B.C. workers.

Dear Sir:Re: the Nexen takeover by CNOOC. Before he
came to power, Stephen Harper showed very little interest in any serious discussion of foreign policy apart from expressing total and unqualified support for Israel.
His statements were actually more like expedi-ent sound bites used simply to attack the other par-ties, and were intended for domestic consumption because that was all he cared about.
He had to influence the voters at home because he needed a “strong, stable majority Conservative government” more than he thought he needed a sensible foreign policy.
Remember before? Mr. Harper wasn’t going to be in a rush to do business with China because he wasn’t going to sell Canadian values out to the al-mighty dollar. Didn’t quite work out that way, did it? Fast forward and now he is in China proclaiming loudly in his best Conservative rhetoric “Canada is open for business, so invest.”
A Prime Minister says that to you what would you do? Probably the same thing the Chinese did; take him at his word and invest, why not?
Then he turns around and tells the world, “Well, actually, we didn’t mean that. We’ll let this one go, but you can’t do that again.”
It makes us look like we don’t know what we’re doing. Which really is the whole point; if you just act on your conservative instincts, (We’re open for business!) before you put the effort into thinking through the logical consequences and outcomes of your actions, you are going to have to make good on your promises and may regret having shot your mouth off to the wrong crowd.
When he campaigned against Michael Ignatieff, Harper framed the idea that having international experience and perspective was un-Canadian, and that was a bad thing. I wonder what he thinks now?

Man’s Charterrights at stake
MacKenzie said the force used by police against Wright was also taken into consideration in concluding that there was no substantial likelihood of conviction.
“Crown Counsel was of the view, based on the material before him, that an unreasonable level of force was used by police and in light of what he understood to be the physical conse-quences to Mr. Wright, he concluded that it could impact the admissibil-ity of some of the evidence gathered against Mr. Wright and/or provide a basis for a remedy under the Cana-dian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, such as a stay of proceedings,” said MacKenzie in an emailed statement.
MacKenzie also indirectly re-ferred to a decision made by another Crown Counsel to not pursue charges against one of the RCMP of� cers in-volved. He did so by noting that the standard of evidence used to decide if a person’s Charter rights have been breached is less than that to prove criminal conduct.
“An accused person need only prove a [Charter] breach on a balance of probabilities,” said MacKenzie. “To establish criminal conduct arising out of the same set of circumstances requires proof beyond a reasonable doubt. These are two different stan-dards.”
“For this reason, the application of force by police against a person in custody may be a factor in assessing whether there is a substantial likeli-hood of conviction for offences pro-posed against that person, but at the same time not meet the standard for proof of criminal conduct against the police,” MacKenzie added.
Because of the circumstances of the incident, the head of the Terrace RCMP detachment, Inspector Dana
Hart, asked that an independent in-vestigation be done by the New West-minster Police Department. In-car and cell block video was handed over to New Westminster of� cers.
MacKenzie said that the Crown Counsel who reviewed the informa-tion regarding Wright did so separate-ly from the Deputy Regional Crown Counsel who reviewed the informa-tion regarding allegations against a police of� cer.
The two lawyers “reviewed sepa-rate investigative reports and did not share information or speak to one another about them. The assessments were completed independently,” said MacKenzie.
Speci� cally, MacKenzie said the Crown Counsel who reviewed the information regarding Wright did not have a neurosurgeon’s medical report made available to the Deputy Region-al Crown Counsel who reviewed the information regarding the police of-� cer. That information indicated that bleeding in Mr. Wright’s brain was likely caused by a medical condition.
“Although it was the opinion of a neurosurgeon that Mr. Wright’s more serious brain injury was not a result of trauma occurring in his dealing with police, even if it had been the result of police action, it would not render those actions unlawful in the circumstances of this case,” said the provincial criminal justice branch in a statement released last November concerning the case.
“Given that the Crown cannot prove that the force used by police in dealing with Mr. Wright was either unnecessary or excessive, there is no substantial likelihood of conviction [against the police of� cer] on any offence in these circumstances,” the statement added.
Alaskan quake generates alertA 7.5 magnitude earthquake in Alaska shortly before 1 am Jan. 5 sparked a tsunami warning along the northwest coast. The warning was quickly called off and there were no reports of damage within BC.
Yet of� cials on Haida Gwaii, at the Haisla vil-lage of Kitamaat and in Kitimat did enact emer-
gency measures in response to the warnings.Alaskan of� cials did say the quake produced a
small tsunami which did not pose a threat.The U.S. Geological Survey said the quake
struck at about 1 a.m. Jan. 5 Paci� c Time about 100 kilometres west of Craig, Alaska and about 10 kilometres deep.
TERRACE RCMP say they seized a vehicle over the New Year’s period after receiving a report of a white van driving aggressively on Hwy16 between Prince Rupert and Terrace.
Near Terrace the van hit another car from be-hind causing it to spin out of control into the ditch, report police.
“The driver of the white van did not stop. The van was later locat-ed by police and seized as evidence. The sus-pected driver was ques-tioned. Police are still investigating,” a police report continued.
Police also said they arrested 14 people for public intoxication and lodged them in detach-ment cells between 8 a.m. Dec. 31 and 8 a.m. Jan. 2.

Recently, I talked about why we chose Kitimat as the site for Gateway’s marine terminal. I’d like to also discuss the various steps we’ve taken to prevent an incident on water, and the measures we’ve put in place to build a comprehensive marine safety plan for Gateway.
Safety starts with a tanker acceptance program that’s as stringent as any in existence — and includes an independent review of all tankers, weeks ahead of their scheduled arrival. Tankers mooring at the terminal will be double-hulled and no more than 20 years old, and will be required — by independent third parties, before they enter Gateway’s shipping channels — to show a sound maintenance and operational history. As they approach Kitimat, all vessels will be boarded and guided by B.C. Coast Pilots with expert knowledge of our coastal waters.
Simulations conducted in varying weather conditions have shown that the largest tankers can be safely navigated without the help of tugboats. Still, Gateway is adding a tug-escort system as an additional safety measure. The Douglas Channel is already one of the deepest and widest inland waterways on North America’s west coast, and Gateway’s tug-escort
system, according to risk assessment data, would reduce the already unlikely chance of a grounding incident by a further 80 to 90 per cent.
As another Gateway marine safety initiative, we’re introducing land-based radar to B.C.’s North Coast for the fi rst time. This radar system will be bolstered by extra navigational aids such as lights and channel markers. These enhancements aren’t just for Gateway — they are for all vessels on B.C.’s North Coast.
Groups who oppose this project use fear tactics. They’d have you believe an oil tanker spill is inevitable. It isn’t. But don’t take my word for it — visit our website and read for yourself about all the work that has gone into making Gateway’s marine operation one of the safest in the world. Then, decide for yourself what’s true.

Along with win-ter comes the lure of on-ice adventures and that means terrace’s search and rescue team has been preparing for emergencies.
last month the team simulated a rescue in the icy Skeena River, taking one minute to lo-cate a submerged victim in the darkness of night.
“we decided to do an in-water practice under the bridge. we simulated a person fall-ing/jumping into the river and had swiftwater swimmers rescue the subject and bring him safely to shore,” said terrace Search and Res-cue president Dwayne Sheppard.
“night time opera-tions are a common oc-currence so we must be prepared to enter the water under extreme conditions such as dark-ness and ice.”
while the team made good time, Sheppard
says he hopes no rescues will need to be made as Canadians enjoy them-selves in the winter out-doors.
“is is ... important to remember that as rivers and ice freeze we must test the thickness,” said
Sheppard.According to Ca-
nadian Red Cross ice safety information, the recommended ice thickness for skating or walking is 15cm, for skating parties or games its 20cm and for snow-
mobiling it’s 25cm.there are a number
of factors that can affect how a body of water freezes like water body depth and its size. oth-ers include water cur-rents and tides, chemi-cals, large docks or rocks that absorb heat from the sun, changing air temperatures and shock waves from a ve-hicle traveling on ice.
A rule of thumb for ice safety is colour.
Clear blue ice is the strongest, opaque white ice is half the strength of the former — opaque white ice is snow that has melted some before freezing — and grey ice as unsafe. grey means the presence of water.
if someone falls in alone, they should call out for help; don’t try to climb out in the same place where the ice is broken as that’s where it is weakest.
instead, reach for-ward onto the broken ice without applying pressure, using trapped air in clothing to get into a floating position stomach down.
Kick legs to push the torso back up onto the ice, and crawl or roll to get away from the broken area. Distribute body weight evenly and don’t stand up until on shore.
in some cases, peo-ple have survived by letting their wet sleeves freeze on ice which held them to the surface until rescue arrived.
See “Rescue team gets ready” at www.ter-racestandard.com for more.

They mighT not be as famous as the Rolling Stones (yet), but one of Terrace’s favourite new bands is painting it black.
King Crow and the Ladies From hell, a 9-piece Celtic-influenced funk-punk-folk band infused with a touch of bluegrass, will be kicking off their first tour in Terrace on Jan. 12 at the Legion before hit-ting the road.
This is the band’s very first tour —and its mem-bers are painting their newly-acquired yellow tour bus black for the occasion.
“We’re all super stoked and really happy to go touring with the band,” said King Crow’s lead vocal-ist Bobby middleton, adding the band has been fine tuning not only its new tour bus but a handful of new songs.
Once on the road, the band’s first stop will be in Prince george to play at the Coldsnap Winter music Festival.
“in October, the Coldsnap music Festival in Pg announced King Crow and the Ladies From hell would be one of the mainstage acts featured at this year’s festival,” said the band’s manager Sarah Zim-merman.
“The band decided to see if it could book a few gigs following the Coldsnap festival, given they are already travelling all the way to Prince george.”
So the band will play three more shows in Alber-ta—one in Calgary Jan. 21 at the ironwood Stage, a live-music focussed 140+ seat restaurant that hosts shows every night of the year; one at a funky edmon-ton music venue called The Pawnshop on Jan 24th; and another Jan. 26 at the Jasper, Alberta Legion.
“Playing at festivals around the region (Smithers and Kispiox) has given the band a lot of experience, but they are really looking forward to seeing if their particular brand of Celtic/folk/rock has a broader ap-peal,” said Zimmerman.
ever innovative, the band has purchased a used school bus and is transforming it into a tour bus for the trek.
Formerly bright yellow, it was painted black last weekend and is being made-up with new studded winter tires, a cargo area for gear and lots of seating for the nine King Crow and the Ladies From hell members—middleton on lead vocals, acoustic gui-tar, and harmonica, Torence Sandhals on drums and vocals, garrett Kerr on bagpipes, pennywhistle, and bodhran, Jamie Norton on violin, Sam hogarth on banjo, guitar, mandolin and bouzouki, Leah macKay on vocals, accordion, pennywhistle and tambourine, Jeff Chapman on electric guitar, vocals, and har-monica, Dylan gordon on bass and mark Billey on mandolin.

The Cousins From Toronto came to visit us this summer. As we sat out in the backyard one eve-ning, with the sun high enough to
read a book at 9, 10, 11 o’clock, a cousin asked us if we had trouble getting the kid to sleep on bright summer nights when he was little.
“No,” was the short answer—but it made me think.
Some young people i knew a few years ago here in Terrace were travelling around the planet from their home in New Zealand. “how ya doin’?” i called out to them one drizzly summer day. “We can’t sleep!” one young woman said, “The sun! The sun!”
“We haven’t seen the sun for ages, it’s been raining and overcast for a week!” i replied. “But. it. Never. goes. Down.” she said.
Oh, like that. Not a sunburn problem: a sunset problem.
A “sundowner” party is popular in warmer climates, where people gather from 5 - 8 p.m. to have a cocktail, groove to music, and watch the sun go down.
At 8 p.m.? Well, let’s see: i don’t know exactly where in Zed-Land they came from, but in Auckland, it goes down at
shortly after 5 p.m. on June 21, and, on their longest day, in their Christmastime summer, it goes down at 8:40. On that long day, they have just 14 hours and 41 min-utes of daylight. Poor babies, they need their nine or ten hours of darkness to sleep.
Our longest day is 17 hours of day-light—actually, it will be 17 hours and 17
minutes this coming June 22. if you have travelled to warm places,
you may have experienced how odd it feels to be outside in darkness and it’s still hot out. Like the sun doesn’t matter at all! here, our weather at least has the decency to cool off when the sun finally disappears for the night.
The Sunset Trip in havana, Cuba starts at 6 p.m. whether you book your three-hour boat cruise for January or for June. The sun will reliably start setting some time after 6 p.m. and for sure finish before 9 p.m.
my hubby lived in Singapore for a while as a young man, where he says the weather was the same every day. in the rainy sea-son, it rained daily—at 4 pm.
At one degree above the equator, their shortest day is 12 hours and 3 minutes, their longest is 12 hours and 11 minutes. Crazy, eh? The sun might rise as early as 6:58 a.m. and as late as 7:10 a.m.
i would use that as an excuse to be tardy for work in the morning, you bet! “Sorry, but my alarm—um, thingie, didn’t go off til late!”
i must admit the glitter and glamour of the Academy Awards lost some of its allure when i realized the stars walking down the
red carpet in their evening wear among all those lights were parading around in the late afternoon.
Well, they might have been up 10 or 12 hours already, getting their hair done at a sunrise call.
“No,” was the short answer to the Cous-in from Toronto, here’s a longer one. The position of the sun does not affect our sleep here in northern B.C. if it did, we would sleep like cats all winter long—our short-est day is just 7 hours and 17 minutes, meaning if we slumbered from sundown to sunup, we would sleep for 16 hours and 43 minutes, and only 6 hours 43 minutes on the shortest day. Unlike Singapore, whose daylight hours range from 12:11 to 12:03, an 8 minute difference, we span the gap from 17:17 to 7:17, a ten hour difference.
For your enjoyment, here’s the sunrise and sunset times, and the resulting hours of daylight today, on Wednesday, Jan. 9, 2013:Auckland: 6:12 Am 8:44 Pm 14:31 Singapore: 7:10 Am 7:13 Pm 12:03havana: 7:13 Am 6:01 Pm 10:48hollywood: 6:59 Am 5:02 Pm 10:02Toronto: 7:50 Am 5:00 Pm 9:09Terrace: 8:52 Am 4:32 Pm 7:40

Sahir Gill on the hunt in BeantownBy Joe Connor
When SahiR Gill played youth hockey at Terrace arena, he dreamed of suit-ing up in national hockey League arenas and before big crowds.
it’s now a reality for the Terrace native – the arenas that is, not the nhL (at least not yet).
The junior forward at U.S. college hockey pow-erhouse, Boston University (BU), will participate in his third “Beanpot” tournament in early February.
The event is played be-fore sold-out crowds of more than 17,000 at TD Garden in Boston, home to the nhL Bruins, and fea-tures the City of Boston’s four college hockey schools – BU, Boston College (BC), northeastern and harvard.
The “Beanpot” name comes from the city’s nick-name, “Beantown,” which originated in Colonial days where baked beans became popular.
“You just get so excited to play that,” said Gill, a 5-foot-10, 178-pounder that shoots left, of the tourna-ment. “if you lose the first game, you don’t really give yourself a shot to win it.”
Last year, the Terriers lost to their top hockey east conference competitor and arch-rival, Boston College,
in the Beanpot final, 3-2 in overtime.
The year before, BC
dropped BU in overtime in the first round by the same score.
This season, the defend-ing national champions have already won two of three
games from BU.“it’s a great, storied rival-
ry,” Gill explained. “You’ve
got two schools located on the same street in Bos-ton. That would be who we would want to see in the (Beanpot) final. We’re look-ing for revenge.”
as for Gill, he’s also looking for a better second half to the season for the no. 7 ranked Terriers, which have won as many national titles (five) as BC.
Through 15 games, Gill has posted just two goals and four assists, a far cry from his freshman and soph-omore campaigns in which he was among the team’s top scorers.
But Gill remains confi-dent, noting his strong sec-ond half a year ago, includ-ing earning hockey east “Top Performer” honors five different times from January to March.
“it was a frustrating first half this year,” he said. “i want to put up some points. it’s been a slow start. i want to be among the elite group of players in (hockey east).”
Trailing BC by two games in the hockey east standings, and with the Beanpot looming in the new year, Gill certainly doesn’t need any motivation.
Joe Connor is a freelance sports writer who travels ex-tensively to arenas all over the world. You can visit him online at www.mrsportstrav-el.com.
Steve MCLaughLin/Bu athLetiCS PhOtO
Sahir Gill, number 28, played minor hockey here in Terrace. he was offered a full scholarship to Boston Uni-versity in 2009.
Busy December for Caledonia Kermodes aS iS typically the case for many people over the holi-days, the last month of the year was particularly packed for the Caledonia Kermodes boys basketball teams.
The boys team contin-ued their winning ways with solid victories over nechako Valley Vikings and Charles hays Rainmakers to win their Kermode Classic Tour-nament on Dec. 14 and 15.
a good sized crowd came to watch the Kermodes take on rival Rainmakers Friday night — and they were not disappointed as the Ker-modes fought back from an early deficit to coast to a 83 - 53 victory.
The Rainmakers came out on fire in the first quar-ter, taking a 23 -18 lead go-ing into the second quarter on the hot shooting of Jag Minhas.
But the Kermodes held
the Rainmakers to just 8 points in the second quarter while the Kermodes poured in 29 points to take a 47 - 31 lead at the half.
and Caledonia did not let up in the second half, out-scoring their rivals 36 - 21 as they rolled on to defeat the Rainmakers.
in scoring, the Ker-
modes were lead by Mar-cus MacKay with 31 points, Reegin Maki with 19 points and Kynan Finnie with 10 points.
earlier in the day the Grade 11 Kermodes took on the Centennial Christian Se-ahawks.
The Seahawks worked hard but the Kermodes were hard to stop, and rolled to a decisive 68 - 28 win.
in scoring, Kermodes were lead by Cam netzel with 24 points and Tristan Walker with 15 points.
The Seahawks were lead by Vidar Sandhals with 12 points.
in the final game of the weekend, the Kermodes bat-tled with the nechako Valley Vikings.
after coming out with a well balanced attack, potting 31 points in the first quarter, they went on to steam roll
their opponents 84 - 51. Offensively, the Ker-
modes were lead by a very balanced scoring attack, showing that it was a true team effort.
Twelve Kermodes con-tributed to the scoring, in-cluding Reegin Maki with 16 points, Kynan Finnie with 14 points, Marcus MacKay with 10 points, and Keel haldane with 10 points.
The following weekend was even busier as the Ker-modes took part in the an-nual alumni tournament and also found time to play two games against Smithers Sec-ondary Gryphons.
in game one versus Smithers the Kermodes dominated as they held the Gryphons to just 2 points in the first half.
after taking a 31 - 2 lead in the first quarter they uti-
lized the opportunity to rest their starters for much of the game.
They then coasted to a 76 - 24 win and were lead by Marcus MacKay with 16 points, Reegin Maki with 14 points, Mat Brown with 12 points and Kynan Finnie with 10 points.
in game two the Gry-phons had a little more fire — but not enough to take down the Kermodes as the home town boys cruised to a 70 - 31 win.
Kermodes were lead in scoring by Marcus MacKay with 18 points, Patrick Ku-rek with 16 points, and Ree-gin Maki with 10 points.
The team’s next action took place when they trav-elled Jan. 3 to Prince George to take on the number 3 ranked aa team in the prov-ince — Duchess Park Con-dors — and have four games
scheduled in total from Jan. 3 ‘til the 5th.
They take on Duchess Park twice as well as Col-lege heights Cougars and DP Todd Trojans.
Look for those results on-line at www.terracestandard.com and in an upcoming print edition.
and the Kermodes are looking forward to the up-coming weeks as they pre-pare for some stiff competi-tion.
Following Prince George the team makes their way to abbotsford to compete in an international tournament that features Fairfax high from Los angeles, a peren-nial top 25 US high school team.
Kermodes first game at the tournament is against last years Manitoba Provin-cial Champions, Oak Park Raiders from Winnipeg.
Caledonia Coach Cam MacKay
Doug had gone to Mexico for a week. With a lot of steelhead in the Lakelse River and the run just reaching its peak, I could
tell he would rather have stayed but the plans had been made.
I’ll fish the river every day while you’re lying beside the pool soaking in the sun, I’d told him.
You lucky bugger, he’d replied. The steelhead returns to the Kalum
were good this year too. Normally we would have spent more time there, but I’d promised Mark Beere that I’d collect 100 bits of adipose fin from Lakelse steelhead to help the biologists at the Ministry of the Environment with their DNA project.
With Doug gone most days I would be fishing alone. That was problematic since five grizzlies were fishing the river for ripe coho. Two were males, and there was a fe-male with a pair of cubs the size of grown black bears that were about ready to ven-ture out on their own.
The sow and her cubs were keenly aware that we were fishing alongside them. A couple of times it became apparent that we’d inadvertently walked past them after they’d retreated into the bush after sensing our approach, then resumed fishing once we’d passed. One fisherman told me he’d had the mother bear charge him. Another related how she’d chased him out of the
Upper Coldwater Pool. When I’d interrogated both men it became clear that no show of aggression had taken place, rather they had been fishing and beat a hasty retreat when the bear family showed up.
Still, since the dog and I make less noise than Doug and I and our two dogs, I decided to take Hud Fisher’s road to the Lower Coldwater runs. The back road is almost a kilometre from the river. From their tracks in the newly fall-en snow, it appeared that the grizzlies were stay-ing to the well worn paths on both sides of the river, doing most of their fishing in the stretch from Finlay’s Cairn to Upper Coldwater.
On the day after Doug flew off, I parked beside the spot where the logging bridge once spanned Herman’s Creek, assembled my gear and struck off up Hud Fisher’s Road with Oona, as planned. Fresh snow had fallen overnight. We set down fresh tracks in it. Approximately a kilometre later we came across the spoor of three
bears, a sow and two big cubs. The prints came out of the bush from the direction of the river then turned up the road in the direction I was headed. They had been laid down that morning, possibly minutes earlier.
Oona looked up the road. Her nose twitched. She growled. It was a quiet guttural growl.
Easy girl, I said firm-ly and quietly. Stay here.
We stayed at the spot for five minutes. I was determined to fish Low-er Coldwater.
Five minutes should give those bears time to
put a comfortable distance between them and us, I reasoned. This was based on the assumption that the bears would continue on without any detours.
Oona sensed she should stick closer to me than usual. She snuffled at the tracks we were now walking on. I moved slower, straining to see as far as I could around each bend. As we neared the branch leading to upper Coldwater, I hoped the bears would take it. When we reached it minutes later, I discovered they hadn’t. We followed them
to the second branch, the spur leading to Lower Coldwater. This time I was hoping the bear family would continue on toward the Train Bridge. They didn’t. They turned toward the river.
Damn it, I said to the dog. They must want to fish the same spots we do.
The tracks told me the bears had stopped for a little while when they reached the riv-er whereupon they continued downstream along the same path I’d taken hundreds of times over the last 30 years. They’d even walked up onto the same log jutting over the river that Doug and I have used to spot steelhead.
I waited once more then traced their tracks to the Railway Pool, where the brush gets thick and the trail faint, and the chance of bumping into a bear are enhanced.
Far enough, girl, I told Oona. To keep her close, I unbuckled my pack
and pulled out our lunches. Hers was a meaty leg bone, full of mar-
row, the extraction of which would occupy her long enough for me to eat my sand-wich, drink my tea, and fish the run thor-oughly.
I had packed up and was up to my thighs in the river fastened onto the first steelhead of the day when Oona dropped her bone, stood up, looked downstream and began to bark loudly.
...continued next week...

No more body checking: TMHAAS OF Jan. 1, there will be no more body check-ing in Terrace Minor Hockey Association (TMHA) House League divisions.
A notice posted on the TMHA website states that body checking will now only be allowed at the rep level and travel/B team level. But body contact will still remain part of house league.
Body checking involves deliberate opposing force to separate the puck carrier from the puck. Body contact involves impeding the progress of the puck carrier, without forceful, aggressive opposi-tion.
“Removing body checking from house league level is becoming a trend in other associations across Canada,” the notice states.
The move aims to encourage player skill devel-opment without having to be concerned with injury from a body check or body check from behind.
“Body checking is a skill, but more importantly, we also feel skating, passing, shooting, stickhan-dling and angling tactics overshadow the skill of initiating a body check,” said the notice.

Here’s Brayden Phillips, left, with his gold medal and Harlene Takhar with her bronze medal. Both placed at the Kitimat meet in december.
Standout wins for swim clubTHE TERRACE Bluebacks swim team has a lot of fun. On the last practise before break-ing for Christmas, the Aquatic Centre is echoing with chants, cheers and — of course —splashing water as the team unwinds from the hard work of the season’s first half.
There are nearly 40 team members this year — the high-est number the club has seen in three years. But still a small club compared to others in the region. Kitimat has nearly twice the amount of members.
And their spirited head coach Mike Christensen has been pushing the team to ex-cel, and learn to have fun while doing it. Some members of the team even took to the frigid waters of Lakelse Lake during the annual Polar Bear Swim on Jan. 1.
“And yes, we prefer the comfort of our home waters at the Terrace Aquatic Centre,” said Christensen.
Team events like the polar bear swim, and the time spent together four times a week training at the pool ensure there’s certainly no lack of team spirit in the club — in the middle of chatting with swim-mers Brayden Phillips and Harlene Takhar (they both won medals at the last meet in Kiti-mat) the Bluebacks team chant starts up across the room.
The two turn their attention to their teammates, forgetting the interview for a moment to join in enthusiastically.
Both Phillips and Takhar had standout performances at the Kitimat meet, held the weekend of Dec. 14.
Phillips took a clean sweep, winning all seven of the races he was in to get the gold medal
in the U10 category.Swimming for nearly five
years, he still has a year in the his category and is expected to keep on winning medals, but insists he won’t get bored.
He likes swimming because “it’s hard, makes you really athletic,” he said. “It’s not just fun, it’s hard work.”
Plus, there’s a swimmer he only competes against in Prince george (“a really tough guy”) who he considers his main rival and is a major mo-
tivator for him. But Takhar actually isn’t
used to winning. In fact, she’s just getting
used to competing — the Kitimat meet where she took bronze for the 13-14 girls was her second meet ever. She’s only been swimming competi-tively since September.
“I was really shocked,” she said. “I kissed it I was so happy.”
Eighteen athletes from Ter-race competed in the meet that
hosted 85 athletes in total from Kitimat, Smithers, Prince Ru-pert and Fort St. John.
Kitimat took top spot, with 820 points. Prince Rupert had 761, Bulkley Valley had 496, Terrace with 371 and Fort St. John with 28.
Next up the Bluebacks host the Northwest Regional Championships Jan 25-27 here in Terrace. It is a key event for the swimmers in the region as they try to qualify for AA or AAA provincials.

Residential assessments increasePROPERTY values are up slightly compared to last year according to the BC Assessment Authority.
Based on a snapshot of values as of July 1, 2012 within the City of Terrace, Thornhill and Lakelse Lake, assessed values of all property types rose 2.9 per cent, up $46.1 million from 2012.
The Lakelse Lake area shows the small-est increase in the av-erage home value at $307,622, up from $307,474 last year.
The average home value in Thornhill is $203,246 up from $181,617 last year, al-though the average in-crease differs between neighbourhoods.
The average value of homes on Thornhill’s bench area increased 8.6 per cent, while the core of Thornhill has showed the largest in-crease in the overall area at 16.2 per cent.
In Terrace, overall, the assessment author-ity says the average home was valued at $220,669, an increase over the $210,180 of July 1, 2011.
“Most home own-ers in Terrace will see modest changes in the 0 per cent to 5 per cent range,” said deputy assessor Christopher Whyte.
Again, each neigh-bourhood is different, with Terrace’s South-side showing the largest jump in average home value at 6.8 per cent. As of July 1st 2012, the average home price there was assessed at $182,816 compared to $171,130 previously.
On the Bench, as-sessed values rose an average of 5.5 per cent from $267,889 to $282,732 while the Horseshoe area shows a more modest increase at 3.2 per cent. There, this
year’s average assessed value rose to $202,156 from $195,866.
Overall, Terrace’s assessment roll in-creased from $1.19 bil-lion last year to $1.21 billion this year. These totals reflect changing
market values for many properties in addition to subdivisions, rezoning and new construction.
Owners of commer-cial and industrial prop-erties in Terrace will see nominal changes rang-ing from 0 per cent to 2
per cent.Local ReMax realtor
John Evans said the rise in assessments general-ly parallels a rise in real estate prices in the area.
But he cautioned against drawing a firm comparison between as-
sessments and prices.“Assessments aren’t
a true indicator of the value of your house. Assessments are calcu-lated for the purpose of [property] taxation. You shouldn’t really rely on your assessment to de-
termine a value for your house,” said Evans.
Still, Evans said the modest increase in as-sessment is a sign of a steadily growing mar-ket.
That’s preferable to a situation where as-
sessments and real es-tate prices in Kitimat, for example, shot up because of an improved economic climate there.
“You really don’t want to see huge in-creases. That scares people,” said Evans.
