Jury calls for better monitoringBy MARGARET SPEIRS

PRISONERS AT the Terrace RCMP detachment, especially if they are known to have substance-abuse problems, should be more closely monitored, a coroner’s jury has concluded following a three-day inquest last week into the death of a 25-year-old woman.

Alyssa Josephine Talina George fell into distress in the detachment cells approximately 14 hours after

her Sept. 3, 2013 arrest for out-standing warrants.

She was then taken to Mills Memorial Hospital and later flown to Vancouver General Hospital for more treatment but died September 10, 2013.

Evidence presented at the Oct. 19-21 inquest centered around George’s time in custody at the de-tachment.

Through replaying of video sur-veillance at the time of her arrest, George appeared to be able to walk

without problem or assistance and to communicate with the booking guard. Once put in her cell she flipped through a magazine and laid down for a sleep.

But footage shown of the 45 minutes before paramedics re-moved her showed her in what appeared to be distress, laying on the bench in the cell, then sitting up and rocking back and forth, then sliding off the bench onto the floor where she sat, rocked some and laid down on her side, then her

back and later facedown.Dr. Robert Saunders, emergen-

cy physician and coroners service medical consultant, said George died of many factors.

Saunders testified that she had been quite ill for months prior to her death as she was not eating much but had been drinking.

People with a severe alcohol dependence that goes on for a long time have this happen, he said.

A person’s liver filters toxins in-cluding alcohol out of the body and

can be damaged by alcohol, which also affects glucose metabolism, he said.

A person’s brain needs energy in the form of glucose so if you don’t have any in your body, you starve, Saunders said.

George’s glucose levels were down low enough to cause unconsciousness, plus she was de-hydrated and in respiratory distress when brought to the hospital, he said.

River crossingroute changedBy JOSH MASSEY

BC HYDRO has made adjustments to the routing of its planned new 287kV power line that will extend from the Skeena Substation in Ter-race to Kitimat in order to avoid an area of old growth trees bordering the Lakelse River. The change was in response to concerns raised by a local land management committee.

The Kalum Land and Resource Management Plan committee was informed by BC Hydro of the prog-ress of the project planning and asked for its opinion at an Oct. 21 meeting.

The committee is made up of representatives of industries and fishing and recreation groups.

The main route for the line, to replace one that’s past its viable service date, was already estab-lished, however, after the environ-mental work done this summer, BC Hydro made a slight revision where the line will cross the Lake-lse River.

“The initial provisional line routing/design required clearing within these sensitive areas,” the group was told during the presen-tation by project manager Robert Smith.

The sensitive area of old growth forest and the fishing-rich area of the protected Lakelse River was a sticking point with the resource management committee group

and BC Hydro came through with a shift in routing to avoid the old growth trees which “utilizes two taller structures (60m lattice steel) and the natural topography to span over the river.”

“That’s the beating heart of salmon conservation. There was a lot of concern of breaching of that zone,” said Rob Hart, who chairs the Kalum committee.

He said the committee was hap-py with the crossing shift.

The total span over the river is just under 500 metres and the ad-ditional costs to the project are less than one per cent.

The old line, which currently follows Hwy37 South, will be de-commissioned and the right-of-way left to grow back.

Hart said that further questions to be answered include the pos-sible future use of the abandoned right-of-way by liquefied natural gas companies for natural gas pipe-lines.

He said that a report on the trees that are removed and the areas tra-versed in the new line should be made available for future planning.

The project cost for the new 287 kilovolt line which will feature steel poles is $115 million and this past summer was spent doing the environmental work with engineer-ing and construction work antici-pated for 2016 or 2017.

NISGA’A LISIMS Government executive chairperson Kevin McKay, provincial aboriginal rela-tions and reconciliation minister John Rustad and Nisga’a Lisims Government president Mitch-ell Stevens at Oct. 19 announcement of aboriginal skills training program.

NISGA’A CITIZENS in Ter-race, Prince Rupert and the Nass Valley are to bene� t from a $2.1 million training program over the next three years.

The goal is to train 215 Nisga’a for jobs within the liq-ue� ed natural gas industry but skills learned can also apply elsewhere, says Gary Patsey of Nisga’a Employment Skills and Training (NEST), the Nisga’a Lisims Government agency which is to administer the pro-gram.

“This training targets those who require assistance with req-uisite skills enhancement before attaining industry or trade train-ing and certi� cations. For these individuals, the training is foun-dational to further training in any other sector as well,” he said.

Already more than 50 people

have applied for driver training, considered as one of the key � rst steps toward employment.

“We forecast that as clients work their way up to trades or in-dustry training and gainful or de-mand driven employment, their quality of life will improve, their family or personal income will improve and acquiring transpor-tation will be a viable option to them,” said Patsey.

The money comes from a pro-vincial government skills train-ing program and was announced in Terrace Oct. 19.

NEST anticipates an early November start up by � rst hir-ing people to administer the pro-gram.

It will contract out for servic-es it cannot directly provide and will provide child care for those who need it.

Part of the training will also involve work experience at proj-ects in Nisga’a communities.

“The participants will be provided opportunities to apply their newly acquired skills, train-ing and strategies in work that bene� ts the community while enhancing the experience and re-sume of the clients,” said Patsey.

Training planned so far in-cludes � rst aid/CPR, road safety and dealing with hazardous ma-terials.

Nisga’a Lisims Government president Mitchell Stevens called the training program an impor-tant step toward economic devel-opment.

“The program adds to the ca-pacity of our people to partici-pate in the major developments which are coming soon to our region,” he said.

Training announced

TERRACE RCMP reported last week that the owner of a local business was the target of an attempted fraud.

The owner received � ctitious in-voices from companies in Verdun, Quebec demanding payment.

RCMP say the companies were calling themselves 411 Media pages and Publication Internet Mondiale.

But both companies had blank websites.

They then called the business own-er to demand payment.

“They hung up immediately when the Terrace business owner said he was reporting the incident to the po-lice. No money was lost,” reported Terrace RCMP.

Authorities are once again warn-ing businesses and others to be on the look out for fraudulent attempts to collect money.

Fraud attempt rejected

Important Notice to Resource Road Users

A province wide, safety-oriented project is underway to standardize two-way radio communications on forest service roads and some resource roads. This project includes standardized signage, new dedicated resource road radio channels and standardized call procedures.

The Coast Mountain Natural Resource District will begin implementing new resource road radio channels commencing on November 2, 2015. Other districts throughout the province have already transitioned or are currently transitioning.

Forest industry workers and other road users using mobile radios must have their radios reprogrammed to incorporate the new resource road channels.

It is recommended that road users retain current radio frequencies until they are sure they are no longer required.

New signs posted on local resource roads indicate which radio channel to use and the calling interval, with drivers required to indicate their direction of travel and their vehicle type. Drivers using mobile radios must call according to the posted channels and call protocols.

All road users are reminded that forest service roads are not radio-controlled, but radio assisted.

All users should drive safely and according to road and weather conditions.

It is strongly recommended that all resource road users exercise additional caution during this transition period.

Local resource road safety committees have worked together to implement these changes. More information (including radio communications protocols, radio channels, maps and standardized signs) is available online at:

https://www.for.gov.bc.ca/hth/engineering/Road_Radio_Project.htm

If you have questions about this project, please contact the Coast Mountain Natural Resource District office (Ministry of Forests,

Lands and Natural Resource Operations) at 250 638-5100, or Industry Canada at 1 800 667-3780.

NORTHERN SAVINGS Credit Union has sold a money-losing technology company and has reduced the size of its Prince Rupert head of� ce staff.

Credit union scales backNORTHERN SAVINGS Credit Union has laid off 12 of its 44 Prince Rupert head of� ce em-ployees now that it has sold off a money-losing stand alone tech-nology services company and is reducing the size of its southern B.C. mortgage portfolio.

The latter two moves means there is a reduction in head of-� ce activity, says interim credit union chief executive of� cer Barry Delaney in explaining the lay offs.

“We’re making a prudent move to go back to being the tra-ditional credit union that we are,” he said last week.

The stand alone technol-ogy company, Solutions Only of Victoria, with 31 employees, was sold last month to CGI Group Inc., a huge technology services company, and Northern Savings has now signed a con-tract for it to provide technology services.

Delaney said Solutions Only was costing Northern Savings money and it didn’t � t into its core business which is servicing credit union members.

Solutions Only was built by Northern Savings from the ground up years ago when the economy in the north was tough

and another revenue source was needed.

“I don’t fault the people who did that at the time,” said Del-aney. “But we should have done a strategic review � ve years ago. The economy has changed. By keeping that company as long as we did, it was a � nancial drag on the credit union.”

Moving into the southern B.C. mortgage business, pri-marily around Victoria and in the Okanagan, in 2004 was also viewed as a way to diversify rev-enue when the northern economy was in tough shape.

But the value of that portfo-lio, which is approximately $450 million, has now grown too large for Northern Savings which has an asset base of just under $1 bil-lion, Delaney said.

“In terms of size, it was about the same size as the rest of the credit union put together,” he said of mortgage portfolio held outside of the north.

“With that, the risk is high. This is a matter of risk manage-ment,” said Delaney.

Reducing that risk means sell-ing approximately $150 million of the credit union’s southern B.C. mortgage portfolio.

Delaney did note that when

interest rates were higher prior to the economic downturn of 2008-2009, the mortgage business brought in strong returns.

The partial sale of its south-ern B.C. mortgage portfolio will bring in a pro� t but it will not be enough to cover the write down of the technology company sale, Delaney added.

“But our members should know we have strong reserves. We are not in a de� cit situation,” he said.

“We just couldn’t have these � nancial drags. It’s the members’ money.”

Northern Savings noted its 75th anniversary this year and traces its roots back to 1940 when several smaller credit unions were formed in Prince Rupert and on Haida Gwaii.

Those credit unions merged over the years becoming North-ern Savings in 1995 and, a year later, the credit union expanded into Terrace.

It acquired the Terrace and District Credit Union in 1996.

Delaney was brought in as the interim CEO earlier this year, re-placing Ken Doleman who ran the credit union for three years.

A search for a permanent CEO continues.

BC HYDRO’S main contractor on its Northwest Transmission Line has been back in the area doing environmental reclamation and tightening up some sagging sections of the line.

“It’s not uncommon once a line is in service and goes through a winter to � nd small correc-tions to the conductor sag need to be made,” said BC Hydro’s Jim Shepherd of the latter work be-ing done by Valard on � ve spans of the line which stretches from the crown corporation’s Skeena Substation near Terrace north to Bob Quinn along Hwy37 North.

Most of the sag correction can be done without an outage but there is one exception further north, scheduled for next month requiring four 10-hour outages, said Shepherd. It will affect the village of

Iskut, the Red Chris mine and Forrest Kerr, one of the Iskut River run-of-river power projects owned by AltaGas.

For Iskut, the village will be served by a diesel generator which had been its source of power for years until last year when it connected to the provincial grid via the Northwest Transmission Line.

The environmental work involves closing down temporary roads built to gain access to tower con-struction sites, reseeding, monitoring to ensure rec-lamation work has been successful and removing items such as fencing used to prevent erosion and to control sediment.

The 334-kilometre long Northwest Transmis-sion Line went into service last summer.

WHAT’S BEING billed as a conference outlin-ing the growing aborigi-nal involvement in large scale industrial activity takes place here Nov. 4-5.

Called Nation2Na-tion, the two-day event features regional ab-original business and political leaders and speakers from compa-nies either already in the area or ones who wish to set up shop here.

Speakers include Shane Gottriedson from the BC arm of the fed-eral Assembly of First Nations, Kitselas chief councillor Joe Bevan and Haisla chief coun-cillor Ellis Ross who is also the chair of the pro-vincial government’s aboriginal business council.

Business speakers include Seabridge Gold president Jay Layman and Susannah Pierce

from LNG Canada, one of two prospective LNG plants at Kitimat.

One complete ses-sion is being devoted to the Tsilhqot’in Supreme Court of Canada deci-sion of last year which strengthened aboriginal title for that � rst nation in the Cariboo and gen-erally within the prov-ince.

That session fea-tures leaders from the Tsilhqot’in.

SKEENA-BULKLEY VALLEY voters matched results across the country by turn-ing out in greater numbers than in 2011. With just two of 219 polls not yet reporting in, 43,564 people voted for a 68.65 per cent turnout, a � gure equating the national aver-age. Elections Canada reports there were 63,459 people registered to vote, not count-ing those who registered on polling day.

NDP incumbent Nathan Cullen’s 22,303 gave him a clear majority of 51.2 per cent, down slightly from his 2011 tally of 55.33 per cent. Conservative Tyler Nes-bitt received 10,758 votes or 24.7 per cent of turnout, less than the 34.5 per cent col-lected by the 2011 Conservative candidate.

Liberal Brad Layton received 8,158

votes or 18.7 per cent of the popular vote, substantially more than the 3.61 per cent received by the Liberal candidate in 2011.

Green candidate Jeannie Parnell re-ceived 1,575 votes or 3.6 per cent of turn-out slightly more than the 3.14 per cent received in 2011. Christian Heritage Party candidate Don Spratt collected 770 votes or 1.8 per cent, less than the previous can-didate’s 2.96 per cent.

ELECTIONS CANADA workers Barb Wright and Beverly Evans go over paperwork Oct. 20 at the agency’s Terrace of� ce.

With his f i f t h electoral v i c t o r y

secured Oct. 19, and second in a row where he has received a ma-jority of the vote, New Democrat Nathan Cul-len has now surpassed former New Democrat MP Jim Fulton’s four election wins.

Fulton, � rst elected in 1979 by defeating Liberal MP Iona Cam-pagnolo went on to wins in 1980, 1984 and 1988 before retiring just before the 1993 federal election.

He then went on to become the executive director of the David Suzuki Foundation be-fore dying of cancer in 2008.

Fulton’s departure from elected politics in 1993 brought on terms by Reform MP Mike Scott and then Andy Burton who eventually became part of Stephen Harper’s new Conserva-tive party before being defeated by Cullen in his � rst election victory of 2004.

Cullen was subse-quently re-elected in 2006, in 2008 and in 2011 leading up to the 2015 election.

His 2015 tally of 51.2 per cent of the popular vote was down slightly from the 55.33 per cent mark of 2011.

But if there was per-sonal victory for Cullen on Oct. 19, there was also disappointment be-cause the New Demo-cratic Party not only lost a bid for � rst place, but fell from its position of Of� cial Opposition with 95 seats at the dis-solution of Parliament to 44 on election night.

That placed the party back in third place.

Its share of the popu-lar vote dropped from 30 per cent to 19 per cent.

“We’re very disap-pointed we were not able to form the gov-ernment as we hoped to do a number of weeks ago,” said Cullen on election night.

Still, he said he has no intentions of running for the leadership of the NDP should Thomas Mulcair step down after the party’s third-place � nish.

“It’s the furthest thought from my mind tonight,” said Cullen who placed third the last time the NDP held a leadership race.

That was called after former party leader Jack Layton passed away.

As for whether the election results would’ve been different if he had been leader, Cullen said he had no lack of con� dence in Mulcair.

“That ship sailed three years ago... I was con� dent with Thom-as’s leadership and ... many many short weeks ago, [the talk was] about Mulcair as prime minister.”

“We suffer from high expectations. When we used to get more than 30 seats, it was consid-ered a breakthrough. Now to go from 100 [seats] down to 30s and 40s is disappointing,” Cullen said.

When the NDP was the third largest party in House of Commons, Cullen said its MPs scrambled and fought for attention, something they’ll go back and do again.

“We know we’re good at it and we’ll re-build.”

As for what went wrong for the NDP and whether the length of the campaign was part of the problem, Cullen said it will take a num-ber of weeks to sort things out.

“We’re not the party

to win at all costs and give up our values and principles to do it,” he said.

Cullen said it is too soon to say if voters

chose Liberal candi-dates over NDP ones to defeat Conservative Prime Minister Stephen Harper, a strategic de-cision which cost the

NDP seats.Meanwhile, Conser-

vative challenger Tyler Nesbitt, who ran second with 25 per cent of the vote, says he’s will-

ing to help Cullen push the new federal Liberal government for results for northwestern B.C.

“Nathan is a voice in the opposition just like we are. We will just see what he can make of it, and if there is any-thing I can ever do in my capacity to help the people in this region I will certainly have my phone on for him,” said Nesbitt, speaking at his Terrace campaign of� ce the night of the election.

Nesbitt said his re-sults had “absolutely nothing to do with my performance and my team and anything we did. It’s that we got caught up in that anti-Conservative, anti-Harper wave. And that’s just what it was. I make no regrets about how we campaigned.

“We had the right message but the deck couldn’t be more stacked against a Con-servative running in the Skeena - Bulkley Valley riding,” said Nesbitt.

And he did wish Cullen the best “and hope he can deliver re-sults for people here be-ing a distant third place [nationally].”

Nesbitt even sug-gested Cullen would make a viable NDP leadership candidate once again.

“If he does in the end, Nathan and I will never agree on many is-sues but at the very least I don’t think it would be such a bad thing for the representative of the Skeena - Bulkley Valley to lead a major federal party,” said Nesbitt.

Liberal candidate Brad Layton, while un-successful personally, was in an upbeat mood.

“I’m ecstatic, we needed change and I’m 100 per cent behind the platform of the Liberal party,” said Layton the evening of the election

from his Smithers cam-paign of� ce.

“We’ve already been checked off as elected to NDP here, I’m hop-ing that Nathan Cul-len will work as hard as he can to make sure that we see the bene� ts with the Liberal govern-ment.”

Layton � nished with just under 19 per cent of the vote, a substantial improvement over the Liberal candidate who ran in 2011.

Green candidate Jeannie Parnell had 3.6 per cent of the vote and the Christian Heritage Party’s Don Spratt had 1.8 per cent of the vote.

With � ve wins now to his credit, Cullen still has a few more elec-tions to go before over-taking Frank Howard.

First with the CCF and then with the NDP, Howard was elected seven times in the northwest federally be-ginning in 1957 before being defeated in the 1974 election by Lib-eral Iona Campagnolo.

Cullen did have some comments to make about Elections Canada’s new rules on how the vote count is reported across the country.

The rules have changed so that there is no blackout on re-porting results in B.C. after the polls close elsewhere but are still open here. For example, Atlantic Canada results started coming in before 5 p.m. here, two hours before the polls here closed.

“I was very troubled that the decision was made [so] we get results an hour and a half, two hours before polls close [here],” said Cullen.

“I can’t help but think it affected the hearts and minds [of voters]. I don’t know why we can’t ask peo-ple to wait for an hour.”

CLAUDETTE SANDECKI

A6 www.terracestandard.com OPINION Wednesday, October 28, 2015 Terrace Standard

After catching up on election news after the Oct. 19 vote, I found Lou-

is Armstrong’s voice in my head singing, “What a won-derful world”.

Justin Trudeau’s stun-ning election victory was far more than I had hoped for. I would have settled for ousting Stephen Harper even if that had resulted in a mi-nority government. This de-cisive majority promises so much more – little risk of another federal election in less than four years unless, as some pundits warn, hold-ing together 184 new MPs could prove impossible given so few can expect to receive cabinet postings, especially after Trudeau’s signal he in-tends naming a smaller cabi-net of only 25 MPs.

We’ll be spared the rep-etition of talking points ev-ery time we tune in to a news cast.

What could happen next is fun to speculate. For a start, Trudeau’s children can look forward to moving into 24 Sussex Drive where they will have a private swimming pool, likely a chance to travel the world with dad as Justin did with his father.

Pierre Trudeau, it’s said, closed his of� ce at 6 p.m. each evening and went home to have supper with his fam-ily and spend several hours with his three boys before he returned to his of� ce, if he had work still to do.

I hope Justin follows his father’s example. His three little ones should not have to grow up without dad because he’s taking care of public business.

Pierre also took one or another of his boys with him on foreign trips. Justin walked the Great Wall in China and met foreign heads of state. Those experiences set him at ease with cameras

and crowds now, situations painful for Harper’s more re-served personality.

Master Conservative ob-fuscator Paul Calandra lost his seat and will no longer be around to tell heart-tugging stories about his father’s pizza business during ques-tion period when an embar-rassing question is put to his party. Nor will he be party spokesman on political news panels.

Unfortunately, the equally irritating Pierre Poilievre held on to his seat.

Without Harper and his PMO ‘boys in short pants’ to write scripts for surviving Conservative MPs to study and guide their performance in the House of Commons, will any of them be able to think for themselves after years as bobble head dolls being handed a list of talk-ing points and safe answers before stepping into parlia-ment like elementary school students exiting a school bus watched over by their teach-er at the start of a � eld trip?

The one Conservative staffer who won my admira-tion is unelected Ben Perrin, lawyer to Stephen Harper during the weeks when Nigel Wright and the entire PMO

tied themselves in knots try-ing to hide Mike Duffy’s ex-pense scandal.

Perrin advised Harper Duffy did not qualify to represent Prince Edward Is-land in the Senate; to do that Duffy would need to live at least 183 days out of the year in PEI. Duffy lived in Ottawa and had done so for years. Yet Harper de� ed both con-stitutional law and Perrin’s sound advice, insisted Duffy could and would be a PEI senator.

During Duffy’s trial, rather than dovetailing with PMO narratives, Perrin testi-� ed Harper’s principal sec-retary and closest advisor, Ray Novak, had been pres-ent in the room when Wright said he would personally pay Duffy’s outstanding $90,000 expenses. Perrin’s testimony was in direct contrast to that of other staffers and Harper’s words in question period.

Perrin is now associate professor at the Peter A. Al-lard School of Law at the University of British Colum-bia, a position he secured be-fore he testi� ed in the Duffy trial.

Reason enough for Louis Armstrong’s “Wonderful World”.

It’s a wonderful world

QUICK. Who was the federal ab-original affairs minister in the now-defeated Conservative government? Bernard Valcourt from New Bruns-wick who, on election night, lost his own seat.

That Mr. Valcourt never visited the northwest may speak to how his government viewed aboriginal af-fairs. This was the government, after all, which took more than two years to ratify treaty agreements in prin-ciple for the Kitsumkalum and Kit-selas after their members did so by referendum.

Prime Minister-elect Justin Trudeau, by following through on his electoral success message of change and optimism, has the opportunity to do better in the northwest.

And that’s within the area of ab-original involvement in industrial development.

It’s taken the prospect of a lique-� ed natural gas industry to open the eyes of all concerned that aborigi-nal participation in decision-making overall and speci� cally in areas such as skills training is vital for the fu-ture of the region.

Even if a natural gas industry does not happen or takes place on a much smaller scale than contemplated, a template of aboriginal inclusion for any other type of industrial devel-opment can only make the region stronger.

The new Prime Minister’s choice for aboriginal affairs minister and that person’s subsequent mandate would be a step in the right direction.

Be ready for snow showers next month

Terrace Standard Wednesday, October 28, 2015 VIEWPOINTS www.terracestandard.com A7

Another year has passed and it is time again to see what the Old Farmer’s Almanac has

to say about the weather for the next 12 months.

With temperatures forecast to be below normal next month, odds are we will see our first snowflakes by mid-month, but likely in the form of snow show-ers only.

Week three will see mixed snow and rain and the month will end as it started: wet, wet, wet.

Rain will dominate through the first week of December, but then the real white stuff will take over continuing through week three when we will get our first taste of cold weather.

After a couple of days of rain to wash away what we have on the ground by then, cold and flur-ries will be the order of the day through the Christmas holiday period.

January opens with mixed rain

and snow showers but a vicious cold snap hits at the end of week one bringing with it blizzard conditions. (Pleeese, not another one!)

Thankfully as week two draws to a close we will be back into rain/snow with even some sunny and mild weather.

However it is a brief respite as heavy snow hits in week three be-fore a sunny and cold end to the month.

That sunny cold weather drags into the beginning of February and from there the month will be dominated by snow or flurries.

March announces that winter is over by opening with a week of rain then three weeks of mainly sunny and cool weather.

April reinforces the message when, after a week of cool and showers, we get “seasonable” conditions followed by sunny and “nice” for the last couple of weeks.

One to May, the most impor-

tant month of the year for garden-ers wanting to get their veggies into the ground.

It starts out perfectly with sunny warm weather but then follows up on that promise with three weeks of showery weather with temperatures flipping back and forth between cool and mild.

After an uncharacteristically

hot June this year, next year nor-mal service is resumed with noth-ing but showers and only one week of warm weather.

July starts out not much better with cool and showery weather but in week two summer arrives with sunny/hot for a couple of weeks, finishing with warm and a few showers.

August can’t make up its mind, opening with hot sunny weather followed by showers and cooler in week two, sunny in three and cool with showers to end.

September is equally undecid-ed going from cool with showers to sunny/cool to rain to showers/mild.

To complete the year Octo-ber opens with a bit of sun but the first half of the month will be mainly wet and through that last half we should see our first white - thankfully just showers.

And there you have it.FOOTNOTE: Whatever your

political stripe, you had to admire

the brilliant campaign put togeth-er by the Liberals in the federal election.

Starting out in third and being relentlessly pummelled from the start by the continuous Conserva-tive attack ads that Trudeau was “just not ready,” they stuck to their game plan.

Like Ali in the famous 1974 Rumble in the Jungle fight against George Foreman, they played rope-a-dope, absorbed all the punishment and waited. And waited.

As the seemingly endless campaign entered the stretch they came off the ropes with carefully crafted ads showing a dynamic Trudeau making a powerful speech as the crowd went wild.

And ended with a single word on the screen - “Ready.”

Like I said, brilliant.Retired Kitimat Northern Sen-

tinel editor Malcolm Baxter now lives in Terrace.

BUSINESS OWNER Virginia Goodard has some ideas about how business signs can be displayed.

Let’s raise business profilesDear Sir:

This is in reference to the Terrace No. 1500-1996 (con-solidated) bylaw of advertis-ing business within the City of Terrace.

I would like to see the by-law amended to allow more flexibility to advertise profes-sionally through signs and no-tices whether it be temporary or permanent, that travelers/tourists and community mem-bers can view as they walk or

drive through the City of Ter-race.

Something like a six-sided information centre with sur-face mounts for people to post on and/or an attractive revolving sign board {like at the Sportsplex) of community events, promotions and sales.

Or, for the Grand Trunk Pathway, a revolving railway track-themed electronic sign on which businesses could then advertise.

For good visibility, this sign could go on top of the Kwin-itsa station building now hous-ing the Shames Mountain/My Mountain Co-op office.

There are information cen-tres out there with very fine print maps that could be great-ly improved.

The top of the Kwinitsa building might be a location and/or the tourist infocentre, down off Keith.

I also hope those mak-

ing the bylaw decisions and amendments will get more in-put from the community busi-ness owners and developers of Terrace before making new or final decisions on how, when and where we are allowed to advertise in the City of Ter-race.

Let’s visually promote and support business and develop-ment here, not discourage it.

Virginia Goddard,Terrace, B.C.

So this isGod’s ideaDear Sir:

Brian Gregg’s “Peace be with you” letter to the editor of Oct. 14 begs for a lesson in politics of di-vine mythography. We made God in the following way.

The Hebrews, who still had gods for this and that, in a tough time settled on the protective ethnic nationalist Yahweh as the supreme among them.

The Greeks were doing the same, but the phi-losophers among them began to argue that theirs were nothing more than fallen heroes and internal-ized natural phenomena.

Socrates, the most famous of those Greeks, gave us the idea of the Idea, the abstract ideal of perfec-tion. Zeus, already the supreme Greek deity, also became the figure behind their concept of “theos,” from which we get theology, as well as theatre, whose spectacle joyed me as Catholic boy.

“Idea” is the key. In etymology, which is the study of the origin of words and which is central to mythography or the writing of myth, “idea” com-bines the roots “in” and “theos” (in linguistics, the “d” is a cognate of “th” and “z”).

To have an idea is to be godly. The very Greek Book of John begins with the key to the Bible, that the word is God. “Word” in the original Greek is “logos,” the root of “logic” and all our “-ologies,” that is, our mind work.

When the Hebrews and the Greeks got together, through the Romans (who gave us “deity;” the Ger-mans’ Gott gave us God), Socrates’ Idea was per-sonified through a fortuitous, holistic abstraction that mixed yet confused the evolved etymology of “idea.”

In Greek, again, that evolved root is in both “idein” and “eidenai.”

The first means “to see,” the second “to know.” The first pertains to the senses and description, the second to the mind and definition.

That mix is behind the notorious mind/body problem in philosophy, a different though related lesson.

For God, however, Socrates’ Idea was taken over by the late Hebrews, known as Hellenized, or Greek, Jews and then fatefully by Jesus. (For elab-orated related discussion, among others see Arthur Lovejoy’s classic book The Great Chain of Being, as well as the requisite for Bible study, The Anchor Bible Dictionary.)

The takeover made the abstract definition of God depend wrongly on concrete description – that is, the incorrect use of the five senses to define an abstraction, as in feeling or making love. We can’t touch it, but we know what it means. Still, it’s il-logical, the category error of Aristotle.

The mix gave us the God who – jealous and proud, burning in a bush and throwing around light-ning, dangerous but also loving enough – behaves as a quasi-man but also as a Superman. (On such invention globally, see the most important current scholar, Matt Rossano.)

The controversial German philosopher Ni-etzsche most troubled the pious with that mix, and ironically the equally troublesome psychologist Freud, a Germanic Jew, similarly annoyed – and enlightened – though the Nazis preferred to distort Nietzsche instead, of course, for their particular ethnic nationalism.

Jesus got caught up in the fiction – in the theatre, we could say – and got himself killed for it, mak-ing us ask, what if he’d lived to teach into ripe old age? To conclude the political lesson, we can refer to his willful neglect of his own caution on vanity, Matthew 6:5-8.

Many others after him were killed for it, too, and too often in the name of what was constructed in his name by lesser men in later times.

Brian Gregg would surely not want to be among them. Anyone who would martyr himself deserves psychological help.

Fortunately, we have education to avoid that grievous fate of confusion. Could say that is God’s idea.

David Heinimann,Terrace, B.C.

Dear Sr:Re: “Low cost edu-

cation at risk,” October 13, 2015

I agree with George Davison that colleges do an excellent job of helping students ad-just to post-secondary education through lo-cal access, instructor attention, and tuition savings.

For students pursu-ing higher education, I call this the best step forward and I want to keep this option open for all students in our region.

In order to do that, NWCC needs to con-tinue evolving how we meet the needs of our communities.

Looking into the future, we need to con-sider not only shrinking public funding as Mr. Davison indicates, but also changing demo-

graphics and demand.There are, and will

continue to be, fewer students since much of the echo boom genera-tion is now past college age.

This means we need to be very clear and purposeful in what we offer to ensure it aligns with what our audiences want.

Right now, the shift

has been to more pro-fessional and vocational programs, not just here but across BC and even Canada.

We are well posi-tioned for that shift, but we are looking to un-derstand if that is what our audiences want go-ing forward.

NWCC is delivering post-secondary educa-tion in our region within the parameters outlined above and addressing the concerns raised by George Davison around access and funding.

We have a team of people that are here to help with access to fi-nancial aid and other student services.

We are also working hard to build our avail-able student bursaries and scholarships, in collaboration with our industry partners.

In addition, we are

focused on growing our program offerings by making ourselves a welcoming campus to all potential students, both here in Canada and internationally.

This will enable us to offer more services and provide stable pro-gram offerings.

As Mr. Davison indi-cates, there is no ques-tion that post-secondary education is undergoing significant changes in Canada.

As a college, we will be actively seeking out feedback from all of our stakeholders in the coming months to bet-ter understand what shape post-secondary education needs to take in northwest B.C.

Dear Sir:Not only local citizens but visiting tourists won-

der who is responsible for the beautiful flowering hanging baskets that adorn Terrace’s downtown streets.

The hanging baskets are the hard work of Wanda Friesen (Skeena Valley Resources) who has worked many long hours this summer keeping the baskets looking so amazingly beautiful.

Wanda – a special thank you coming from many. many people of Terrace and visitors alike.

Certainly a job well done, keep up the good work in helping Terrace look so beautiful.

The hanging baskets are financed by the City of Terrace, the Terrace Downtown Improvement As-sociation and individual businesses.

Once again, a big thank you, Wanda, for a job well done.

Yvonne Moen,Doris Scott,

and many others in the community,Terrace, B.C.

Dear Sir:Question: Why are elected

officials ‘hired’ by us and paid by us taxpayers not sub-ject to periodic performance reviews?

Most of us who work for somebody are subject to such reviews, annually or even more often and our pay may be adjusted accordingly.

Even people who are self-employed are subject to such reviews, every new job can be such a review.

So why are we, the taxpay-ers, putting up with a four-year review period only, elec-tion time, and then have no other recourse than to ‘turf’ somebody for poor perfor-

mance (not listening to the people who pay their wages) with no other recourse, no fi-nancial ‘penalty’ for that per-son?

What would happen if an annual performance review of elected officials would be im-plemented, would it improve the system?

It just might make them more ‘honest’ and have them listening to the people who pay their salaries and ben-efits, all of us taxpayers!

But after this election and the changes in government there maybe implementation of changes like this and oth-ers.

By JACKIE LIEUWEN

TERRACE SHOGUN dojo is less about the sport, and more about providing support and community for youth, especially those trou-bled or on the outside of social circles.

“It’s a place where all walks of life are welcome. It doesn’t matter what your social status is,” said sensei Amber Pipe. “I don’t turn anybody away. I use it for a place where people can feel like they have a home.”

Shogun dojo is a light-contact field of martial arts that includes karate, kickboxing and point fighting and emphasizes self-de-fence and respect for opponents.

It is an inexpensive sport which fighters can continue pursuing into adulthood and will not age out of.

“If you love it, you can always do it,” said Rajan Sangha, co-sensei with Pipe in Ter-race.

Pipe said they use the program to encour-age youth and challenge them to set goals such as overcoming substance abuse or building self-confidence.

It also requires dedication to get up four days a week for workout sessions beginning at 6 a.m.

With that, the program offers a place for youth to be part of a group, make healthy friendships and get connected.

Pipe says she is so proud of the fight team she has, six youths ages 15 and up who are tight friends, don’t drink or use substances, and welcome and take in new youths who Pipe invites.

The focus of the program overflows from Pipe’s life experience.

At 14, she was cut off from team sports due to a serious arm injury, and it set her on a path of drinking and rebellion, she said.

By 20, she was addicted to crack cocaine and dealing marijuana. Then, 18 years ago, a friend intervened by convincing her to try out kickboxing.

“I started martial arts and it saved my life along with the grace of God,” she said. “It’s the only thing, other than God, that I love more than getting high. And I had to find that.”

Over the next few years, Pipe was able to break her addictions, earn black belt status and start teaching shogun dojo in Terrace.

She took over the program in 2013 and it has been growing ever since, she said.

“I have a passion for teenagers that may have their lost way into substance abuse like myself,” Pipe said. “I try and offer them a free place to train with the promise that they will try and clean up their life and give me a year to take them to tournaments and see if it’s worth the sacrifice.”

Co-sensei Sangha got into shogun dojo at age 11 and has excelled.

Now 23, Sangha is a black belt and three time bronze medalist at the World Karate

and Kickboxing Championship, and has been helping teach the sport since 17.

“The thing I like the most is that every-body who trains now, we’re all friends… we’re kind of just one great big family,” he said.

Along with the fun of travelling and hang-ing out, Sangha says teaching has rewards too. “Watching them succeed is a huge thing for me,” he said.

“When somebody comes in and they can barely throw a punch the first day, and then six months later you see them at a tourna-ment and whether they are winning or not, they are doing what you’ve told them, they are doing good things, and they’ve learned,

that’s a pretty good feeling.” The two sensei run several programs in

Terrace, including kids karate for Suwi-laawks students, adult kickboxing, a morn-ing fitness program and their advanced, competitive shogun dojo team.

Rather than emphasize winning, they fo-cus on gradually developing and strengthen-ing fighters – both in the sport and in life.

They inspire the team by travelling to tournaments and have done very well in the past several years. The team is training and saving for the Irish Open martial arts tour-nament in Dublin next March, which raises money to support the Irish Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (ISPCC).

55th Rotary auction offers something for everyone

CONTRIBUTED PHOTO

■ One more hourAFTER YOU’VE been given all the Halloween candy you can stomach and lugged it home, make sure to turn your clocks back at 2 a.m. Sunday, November 1 to get an extra hour of sleep as we return to standard time.

THE 55TH Terrace Rotary Auction is gearing up for another round of items for everyone with the money going pri-marily to the local community and also to worthwhile projects around the world.

“Businesses have been quite gener-ous in what they provided for us so we got pretty much everything you could think of,” said Brian Downie of the Ro-tary Club of Terrace.

“So if you want a car or need a barbe-cue or luggage or fishing gear or snow-mobile jackets or pictures, paintings, we’ve got several of those and they look very nice. Everything for your home and office and something for everyone.”

The auction website will go live for

pre-bidding this Friday, Oct. 30 and con-tinue right thru to the start of the auction on Nov. 7, where it will be a live auc-tion thru the 8th. Last year, partway thru the auction, livestreaming began, which was very popular and will be used again this year, said Downie.

And a mobile app that worked pretty well last year will be used again. “Those are two things that definitely make the auction more accessible for more peo-ple,” said Downie.

The city’s second club, the Skeena Valley Rotary Club, is volunteering its time to help out, said its president Jen-nifer Larson.

With the auction and the duck race at

Riverboat Days, the two main fundrais-ers for rotary, about $90,000 was raised with most of it staying in the commu-nity, added Downie.

Some of the financial contributions to the local community included $20,000 toward the Splash Park in George Little Park, $10,000 towards the Search and Rescue Marine Sonar, $5,000 to the REM Lee Hospital Foundation for its new endoscopy suite and many more. International projects included $11,590 to a Guatemalan Health Clinic, a Ugan-dan Education Project and a Kenyan Water and Sanitation Project.

W hen the long kind days of summer leave and fall and winter set in, my house is extremely

dark at night. Set on four acres in a rural area, away from streetlights and shrouded from neighbours by forests, unless you turn something on, the hall-way, staircase, and basement are pitch black. And it doesn’t matter how famil-iar I am with my home, every so often this deep darkness catches me by sur-prise.

The other evening, I started down-stairs, not realizing someone had killed all basement lights. I was fine at first, but on the landing just before the final flight of stairs, the thought hit. Wow, it’s really dark. And just like that I lost my place and froze.

Eventually, since there was no other viable option, I moved forward again, prodding for solid ground, one foot at a time. Every so often, feeling empty air, my heart would race. Was this the spot I’d fall? And then I was safely on smooth floor once more, familiar with my surroundings again, relief flooding through me.

The small lesson felt like a gift.I’ve had a difficult five or six months.

There have been lovely times and mo-ments, but there have also been terrible, wrenching events. The deep contrasts between life’s good and bad have been . . . harder than usual. I’ve been strug-gling to cope with the things other peo-ple suffer, and angry at the unfairness and randomness of so much of life. Plus I’ve been uncomfortably aware of the pettiness of some of my problems compared to bigger issues (personally and within the larger world) and frus-trated with my inability to do much of

anything to help.And I’ve felt guilty for such nega-

tive feelings because even in the toughest times I’m poignantly aware of all I have to be grateful for—and I am grateful. Truly. But sometimes my blessings make the questions I have harder to stand up under, not easier. Why am I spared? Or blessed? Why is anyone?

During this dark time, my faith and core beliefs have taken a hit and I’ve been very, very sad—to the point that I’ve worried what if my resilience gets so battered I can no longer bounce back? What if one day I just can’t mus-ter energy, or keep putting myself and my heart out there?

And then I had the stairs-in-the-dark

incident, followed closely by a chance stumble into this Kurt Vonnegut quote:

Be soft.Do not let the world make you hard.Do not let pain make you hate.Do not let bitterness steal your

sweetness.Take pride that even though the rest

of the world may disagree, you still be-lieve it to be a beautiful place.

I found the simply worded admon-ishment comforting. And challenging.

Pain can make us hate. I have to fight that in myself. Other people’s behaviour can tempt us to harden our-selves. I need to resist that inclination. I have to let go of bitterness. It poisons and sours the sweetness that coexists with the awful.

The world is a beautiful place—or can be—and that’s why the hard things are excruciating. We know how good things can be, should be, so we chafe against the bad. That can be beneficial if it gives us courage to change the things we can. It’s destroying when it keeps us focused on what we can’t change or prevents us from recognizing and taking joy from the things we have that are good.

I don’t think we’re ever prepared for the familiar to suddenly become alien or to find ourselves in times of utter darkness, but perhaps it’s unavoidable. Yet if we can somehow keep feeling our way through those times, eventually we’ll make it back to, or will create, a safe place. And meanwhile, maybe we shouldn’t beat ourselves up for feeling bruised and aching occasionally. That’s what happens when you’re soft. And softness is good.

The University of Victoria is building a small team of dedicated volunteer Program Leaders to facilitate our free of charge 6 week / 2½ hours per week Chronic Pain Self-Management workshops in Terrace.

For new Program Leaders, there is a comprehensive, free of charge 4-day training program in November. Upon completion, volunteers become a Certifi ed Chronic Pain Self-Management Program Leader registered with the University of Victoria and Stanford University.

It is helpful if volunteers have experience and comfort working with diverse groups of people, and they need to be available to co-facilitate one or two workshops a year. Experience with chronic pain either personally, or as a caregiver or healthcare professional is highly benefi cial.

If this sounds like an interesting opportunity that suits your experience, skills, and interest, please submit your on-line application at www.selfmanagementbc.ca. If you need help or more information, please call us at 1-866-902-3767 (toll free).

Thank you for your interest, and we look forward to hearing from you soon.

Are you a caring, compassionate person?

■ Badge bountyRANGER LUANE Dorais-Fleming has chosen a unique way of displaying the many badges from events and trips she has participated in. The local guiding movement had its annual camp� re and hot chocolate night Oct. 14 at the Terrace Rod and Gun Club.

By MARGARET SPEIRS

COUNCIL HAD a dif-� cult time passing a variance for a home business at its Oct. 13 committee of the whole meeting.

The request was to allow a home business to open on a lot at 3820 Marshall, using 2,012 square metres rather than the required mini-mum of 2,700 square metres.

The request comes

from property co-owner Stacey Primosch, who wants to hold a small � tness group in her home, which is consid-ered a level three home occupation, which is for group lessons or coun-selling.

Since this property is not quite the minimum size for a home business according to the bylaw, Primosch came to coun-cil requesting permis-sion to run.

The reason for the minimum size is to pro-vide a buffer for other properties close by, but with group lessons or counselling, the city does not think that noise is a great concern, said city planner Tara Irwin, adding the group would have to be fewer than six individuals.

The city also consid-ered traf� c as Marshall is a very quiet street, said Irwin.

Three neighbours came to the council meeting to share their comments and con-cerns.

Helen Jepsen said she was concerned about the amount of traf� c because there already were drivers not following the speed limit of 30km/h, and if the Primosches let their clients park in their driveway, their own ve-hicles would be parked along the edges of the street.

Another concern was the noise from the class-es, she added.

“I work long shift work and I’m concerned about the noise when I’m trying to sleep,” Je-psen told council.

Dust is also an issue as it is a gravel road so residents try to keep it down and are worried about more vehicles causing even more dust.

Another neighbour, Vance Hadley, told council he was there to support Primosch, who told him she was plan-ning on holding three classes in the morning and evening.

Primosch plans to hold the classes in the basement that is 2,400 square feet and is an ex-cellent place for a gym and she thinks it will be quiet, he said.

At most, there would be six people in the basement, added Had-ley.

Another option for parking is that the Pri-mosches could open their gates and let peo-ple park in the yard it-self, and that at the most would be six vehicles, he said.

Janice Craveiro, the property owner to the north, said most of the neighbours had signed a petition against the Pri-mosch’s plan.

“We have gone around to all the neigh-bours, probably 80 per cent (want to keep it a)

beautiful quiet, let me emphasize quiet, street and I think only two said it didn’t matter to them. It matters to us,” she said.

Craveiro also said residents were con-cerned about dust.

Councillor James Cordeiro asked city development services

director David Block if anyone from the city had approached the residents about having Marshall paved.

Block said the city generally doesn’t ap-proach residents but in-stead waits for them to come ask for paving.

Since the request was because the own-

er’s lot was too small, Hadley asked whether a business request would automatically pass if a property was big enough.

Irwin said it would.Councillor Stacey

Tyers said she under-stood living on an un-paved road but she sup-ported the application

because the only reason the owner needed spe-cial permission was her lot size. The entire other side of the street could make a similar applica-tion and get it approved without anyone having a say.

Cordeiro said they could make conditions like parking on the

street or having it in the basement to ensure that noise wasn’t a problem.

Irwin said the city may want to look at ensuring the variance would be speci� c to in-side the home itself and not on the property.

Deputy mayor Mi-chael Prevost asked if anyone would move to

amend the motion for the variance so that the council’s concern about classes being held in the basement would be included in the recom-mendation.

Tyers made the mo-tion, councillor Brian Downie seconded and the variance was voted on and passed.

THE FOLLOWING are the 16 recommendations made by the jury following the inquest into the death of Alyssa George.

They’ll be forwarded to the chief coroner who will send them out to the speci� c organization named in each recommendation.

To the RCMP1. The RCMP C13 form (� lled out when a per-

son is being booked by the police cells guard and arresting of� cer) requires additional space for ini-tial medical info/questioning/survey/screening, such as when was last intake of alcohol or drugs; taking any medication/what/ dosage; pre-existing medical condition; and allergies.

2. Consider all policies/procedures and stan-dards as mandatory, not best practices.

3. Ensure RCMP watch commander performs and is accountable for physical (in cell) checks ev-ery four hours of all prisoners in all cells.

To the RCMP/City of Terrace 4. Guards must follow/adhere to existing poli-

cies/procedures (in their operational manual) con-centrating on: the four Rs of rousability, watch command four-hour prisoner check, guard “physi-cal” check every 15 minutes.

5. Use of closed-circuit TV should be used as a secondary backup to physical check.

6. RCMP/guards should use the cell check log appropriately (follow all blocks of the form and � ll out completely).

7. To assist the guards doing the physical cell checks, the hall lighting could be reduced, or a matte coating on cell door window to reduce the glare from the above lights.

8. Consider reducing medical assessment time to eight hours.

9. A committee should be established to discuss the possibility of and paying a second guard on duty at all times.

10. Investigate upgrading the existing closed-

circuit TV system to include larger monitors, with the ability to select the video feed to focus on one cell, ability to zoom and pan video feed while maintaining the source feed for the recording, au-dio microphones at each end of the hallways free of background noise.

11. Install a two-way non-recording intercom system into all cells, other than cell 1 and cell 7, (drunk tank and youth cell) for rousability checks, a loud buzzer noise in cell to precede actual two-way communication for prisoner privacy.

12. Ensure that all guards and RCMP members take the existing training as required and investi-gate increasing some training cycles to ensure re-tention of information/policies/procedures.

13. First aid training should be enhanced to in-clude medical information and scenario training more conducive to alcohol and drug addiction, and community level training such as the intergenera-tional effects of residential school on First Nations, as well as cultural sensitivities of other minorities.

To the provincial Ministry of Health 14. Must keep blood samples taken from pa-

tients who are gravely ill for 14 days for testing and follow patient if transporting to alternative medical facilities.

To Northern Health/First Nation Health Au-thority/ Ministry of Health/ City of Terrace 15. A committee/focus group should be estab-

lished to investigate the construction of a proper medically staffed substance abuse/detox centre in the City of Terrace to service all outlying areas. This should include one or more substance abuse doctors and counsellors.

To the Ministry of Health/Northern Health/RCMP/Mills Memorial Hospital/ BC Ambu-

lance Service: 16. Investigate having a better and more accu-

rate means of transmitting urgent/non-con� dential medical information from one agency to another.

Jury recommendations

She also had meta-bolic acidosis which is when lactic acid forms from burning cells with-out proper oxygen, and all of these factors led to multi-organ death, he said. Saunders had seen parts of the video and said George was certainly ill by 9:42 p.m. – she had been ar-rested and taken to cells at about 11 a.m. – when she got her food tray and struggles to pick it up.

However, he said that training guards or police of� cers to iden-tify complex medical is-sues takes too long and needs practice so train-ing for them wouldn’t be bene� cial. Saunders said that if a person gets worse over time, that’s a sign that can be taken for medical distress.

“I don’t expect po-lice and guards to be paramedics but if [a person] gets worse, call paramedics who can come and say ‘they’re ok’ or ‘we have to take the person to hospital,’” he said.

George’s immediate cause of death was mul-

tiple organ and system failure due to metabolic acidosis and respira-tory depression as a consequence of acute and prolonged ethanol (alcohol) and substance abuse, and her death was classi� ed as natu-ral.

The jury heard that George had gone to Dr. Lennox Brown here

for help to get off her-oin and he prescribed methadone for her for a while. He said he believed she had been referred by her regular doctor to alcohol and drug counsellors and mental health services.

In May 2013, she expressed a desire to go to a detox centre to get off drugs and alcohol

but there was no place here in Terrace and the centre in Prince George was full, he said.

Brown testi� ed the area wasn’t adequately served for drug and al-cohol detox services.

He also said that contrary to what people might think, there are no detox beds at Mills Memorial.

Hart says that most land use man-agement groups were dissolved more than a decade ago, but those in the Northwest, including the Smithers area, continue to this day and provide an important voice for local interests in major projects.

He said that in the past it was

mainly forestry and mining projects that the group involved itself with but that the building of the North-west Transmission Line and proposed natural gas and oil pipelines caused the group to involve itself with com-panies wanting to build rights-of-way through forested land.Rob Hart

Correction

Variances grantedfor sign, buildingCOUNCIL PASSED two variances for a sign and building sitting as a committee of the whole Oct. 13.

The sign one was for Mr Mikes to increase the maximum height for a ground sign from 3 metres to 3.05 metres, which would be placed along Lakelse; an in-crease in the maximum area of the total square metres on a sign from 18.5 to 33.42 sq m, which would mean the addition of a sign on the restaurant’s Lazelle side; and to increase the maximum sign area of a canopy sign from 25 per cent to 29 per cent, which is the replace-ment of the sign above the main door facing Lakelse.

City planner Tara Ir-win added the variances are part of a Mr. Mikes rebranding.

The application for the second variance was for 5135 McConnell to increase the maximum height of an accessory building from 5.1 me-tres to 7.1 metres.

Property owner Rob-ert Geier intends for the building to be a shop for the storage of his RV, maintenance of person-al equipment and space for woodworking.

City staff did have some concerns that, since the applicant owns a business that uses heavy equipment, the building could be used for business pur-poses that are not per-mitted on residential property and become an enforcement issue, but Geier assured the city the building would only be used for personal reasons.

Other properties in the area are of similar size and have similar-height accessory build-ings, and there are no concerns of other prop-erty owners so the city

is recommending that this variance be ap-proved.

Councillors were told city staffers do

keep an eye out on ac-cessory building use so that appropriate city regulations are followed by property owners.

Haisla receive Crown landTHE HAISLA are to get 120 hectares of Crown land from the provincial government to connect two pieces of existing reserve land.

The land lies between Kitamaat Village and Walth reserve on the Douglas Channel and the an-nouncement was made today in Kitamaat between Haisla chief councillor Ellis Ross and provincial aboriginal relations and reconciliation minister John Rustad.

Turning over the land comes under a provin-cial program called incremental treaty agreements meant to pave the way toward negotiating � nal and more comprehensive land claims and self govern-ment treaties.

The province also regards these incremental agreements as a way of providing treaty bene� ts in a quicker fashion than waiting for the larger treaties to be negotiated.

In the case of the Haisla, its negotiators and

those from the federal and provincial governments have been in Stage 4 of the treaty negotiation pro-cess since December 1996, some 19 years.

That’s the stage which is to lead to an agreement in principle which is then put to Haisla voters for acceptance. The agreement in principle sets out the broad details of a � nal treaty and leads to further and more detailed negotiations.

Actually transferring land from the province to First Nations can take as long as a year which was the case with the Kitselas and Kitsumkalum.

Rustad said the transfer will “open new oppor-tunities for the Haisla Nation as they expand their community and build lasting prosperity through sustainable commercial ventures, and partnerships with industry and government.”

Ross said the lands “have great historical and cultural value to our people, and we’ve worked to re-acquire them for 60 years.”

News In Brief

THE CITY is holding off its plan to paint rainbow colours on the cross-walk in front of city hall.

“The pavement there requires a relatively small overlay � rst before the paint can go down and with the

winter coming, it makes sense to do the painting in the spring,” says city of� cial Alisa Thompson.

It’ll also mean less wear on the paint over the winter months, Thomp-son added.

Rainbow painting delayed

Ticket given for urinatingONE PERSON ran afoul of a city by-law last week for urinating in a public place.

A Terrace RCMP report last week said the ticket was given after police observed a man urinating on a back fence in an alley.

The ticket was issued under the city’s parks and public places bylaw and carries a � ne of $200.

And if it isn’t an RCMP of� cer

writing tickets based on municipal bylaw infractions, it will be the city’s new bylaw of� cer.

“If he witnessed this type of be-haviour while out and about during his regular hours, he could issue a � ne,” said city chief executive of� -cer Heather Avison. “Typically it is the RCMP that encounters this after hours and they are authorized to issue municipal tickets,” she said.

• Do not go trick or treating alone. Small children should be accompanied by a responsible adult, and older teen age trick or treaters should use the “buddy system” if allowed to go out without an adult.

• Let your parents know where you are going and when you will be home.

• Wear bright colored costumes with re� ective tape so drivers can see you, and use a � ashlight.

• Do not trick or treat at houses that have their lights out.• Do not go inside the house or a vehicle of anyone you

do not know and trust.• Wear make up instead of a mask. Masks make it harder

to see.• If you are wearing a mask make sure the eye holes are

big enough for you to see clearly.• Cross the street at crosswalks or intersections and make

sure you look both ways.

• Wear good solid shoes and make sure your costume is not to long to prevent tripping.

• Trick or treat in your own neighborhood, and know what houses are safe for you to go to if you need help before you go out.

• Trick or treat early, and � nish early so you are not out late at night.

• Never go into alleys, parking lots, wooded areas, or vacant lots.

• Stay in well lit areas.

When you get home with your goodies:• Do not eat any treats until they have been inspected by

an adult.• Do not eat homemade treats or fruit if you do not know

who made them and where they came from. • Throw away any treats that are not in sealed packaging.

Terrace loses hockey bid but hopes still high

Terrace family trio races together By JACKIE LIEUWEN

A FAMILY trio of three-genera-tions calling themselves the “Reid Runners” compete every year in as many races as they can find in the north, and are planning to join the 10K Vancouver Sun Run next spring.

The trio has run together for over nine years, and includes 69-year-old Michael Reid, his daughter Megan and granddaugh-ter Michaela.

Together they compete in races in Prince George, Hazleton, Ter-race, Kitimat, Prince Rupert and the Queen Charlottes, and often train together by biking or running around Terrace.

The running started with Mi-chael Reid who picked up the sport at age 25 when his daughter was born.

“I wanted to be sure that I would be fit enough to do things with her as she got older… that was the driving force,” he said.

He said it was bit tough to get started running, but the Terrace running club at the time adopted and supported him, and once he got started, running became addic-tive.

Now 69 years old, Michael has competed in hundreds of races and marathons over the years, and just ranked tenth of 42 runners in his age category in an 8K Goodlife Fitness race in downtown Victoria October 11.

His running inspired his daugh-ter Megan, who started cross coun-try running in high school. She was coached by her dad and is now the high school coach herself.

“I was always looking up to my dad growing up,” Megan said. “He was such a fast runner… It was al-ways something he had a fun time doing and he was a good example of physical fitness. When I was old enough to run with him, I wanted

to and he was happy to have me.” His granddaughter Michaela

first joined the trio in a stroller, and as she got older started running along side her Mom.

Now 14, this is Michaela’s third year racing with her mom and grandpa and she says there is ev-erything to like about running.

“It’s good for you and whenever I’m stressed out, I always go for a run and it makes me feel better,” Michaela said.

Michael agrees. “Running clears your head.

You can have a bad day at work or whatever the case may be… and while you’re running, your head clears,” he said.

He adds that having a daily rou-tine of running or other exercise, “regardless of what you are doing, there is always one positive thing that you’ve done that day. You’ve gone out and done that,” he said.

Besides the stress balancing and fitness building qualities of run-ning, it has also affected their diets.

“Garbage in, garbage out,” said Megan. “If you are not putting food in that is going to give you energy, then you are going to be too tired to go for a run or a bike ride. We try pay attention to make sure that we are eating for fuel.”

Michael says one of the things he likes about running is the inde-pendence and flexibility. With busy lives, it is nice to have something to fit in whenever you get a chance.

Megan adds that it is a great sport for anyone because runners can compete against themselves, and achieve lots of personal victo-ries.

“You could come in last, but be thrilled that you beat your time by however many minutes over the last time. It’s always your own race. It’s so personal,” she said.

But the biggest thing for the trio is the quality time.

“I always talk with my Mom

when we are running,” said Mi-chaela. “It’s really special. I don’t know if everybody else has some-thing they do with their mom and their grandpa.”

Megan agrees, adding that hav-ing that family time together is great, especially as Michaela gets

older and hangs out more with her friends.

For Michael, he says nothing gives him more joy then going out for a run with Megan and Michae-la.

“It’s hard to describe the feeling when you are running with your

daughter and granddaughter. It is absolutely wonderful,” he said.

His advice to other people is to find things to do with their fami-lies. “Do things together. It doesn’t have to be running, but keep your family together by being involved with them,” he said.

By JACKIE LIEUWEN

TERRACE LOST their bid to host a national aboriginal hockey tournament, but organizers have not given up on hosting a major cultural event.

“We are completely confident that we have the capacity to host an event of that magnitude and we’d definitely like to have an-other crack at something in the future, whether it’s the hockey tournament next year or another sport,” said city councillor Brian Downie.

Downie was part of an orga-nizing committee who submitted

a bid last May to host the 2017 tournament.

The tournament features eight male and eight female teams of players in their mid to late teens.

The committee also included mayor Carol Leclerc, Kitsum-kalum chief councillor Don Roberts, Kitselas chief Joe Be-van and Cal Albright, the ex-ecutive director of the Kermode Friendship Society.

The bid was won by Pentic-ton, which is now the B.C. nomi-nee running in a national selec-tion process.

Albright said the commit-tee was disappointed by the

outcome and had proposed and planned a cultural event around the hockey tournament which it hoped would give Terrace and area a competitive edge.

Albright said the committee had wanted to showcase aborigi-nal culture, especially highlight-ing northwestern B.C. First Na-tions. The list of to showcase included local food, arts and crafts as well as songs and danc-es from all different groups and nations in the region.

Downie says the committee will see what other opportunities it can pursue beyond this.

Some of his ideas include

building a cultural event around a basketball championship or the Riverboat Days soccer tourna-ment.

“There is a lot of interest in showcasing Terrace and north-western BC First Nations cul-ture,” he said, adding that the group is “very motivated, has great ideas and has time and en-ergy” to plan a cultural event.

Now that they have made all these plans in applying for this tournament, Albright says they are more forward looking as they lookout for other opportunities.

“We are going to keep our op-tions open,” he said.

My grandfather, a bricklayer eking out a living and rais-ing 5 boys with my grand-mother in Wynyard Saskatch-

ewan during the bitter years of the Great Depression, pledged allegiance to the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation. He knew and admired its founder, Harold Winch, another master bricklayer, and felt the socialist credo of the CCF offered some much needed hope for the working man when hope was in short supply.

Motivated principally by my grand-father’s worsening health, the Wynyard Browns headed for BC, where the salubri-ous climate offered some respite for hon-est Tom, as the patriarch of the Brown clan was known to the citizens of the small prai-rie town.

My dad and his four brothers, Tom Ju-nior, Maurice, Ed, and Stan crammed into Tom’s threadbare Model A Ford to make the epic trip to the coast. At one point in the journey, stopped at a gas station in the foothills, the boys stared awestruck at the massive cordillera on the horizon.

“Do we have to go through that to reach B.C.?” Tom asked the attendant.

“Well, son,” came the man’s reply, “you can’t very well go around it.”

As the boys coasted down harrowing hills steeper and longer than any they had ever seen, or imagined, with the ignition off – a clever tactic my uncle Tom hit upon to save precious drops of gas – their par-ents made the trip by train. They settled in Vancouver, where Tom with the assistance

of the older boys, built a house in the East End, where they supported the CCF in a provincial riding held by another former bricklayer turned politician, Ernie Winch, the son of Harold.

After fighting in the Second World War, Ed became a steelworker and Stan signed on with Canadian Packers. Dad worked as a musician and was a proud mem-ber of the musicians’ union. Maurice, whose flat feet kept him out of the forces, worked for the postal service, and Tommy, who settled in Hamilton, worked in the steelworks too. All of them had a love of literature instilled by their father and a love of music and the arts fostered by their mother, but first and foremost, all of them believed in the equitable distribution of wealth and power, the power of commu-nity, and that everyone had an obligation to take care of the less fortunate. In his late eighties, still working and making more money than he ever had, my dad was still giving over half his income to charities.

Understandably, the political landscape was a constant topic in my house. My grandparents, who joined the household before I was born because both of my par-

ents worked (a rare thing at that time) were Dutch immigrants who had suffered under the Nazi occupation. They had first hand experience with totalitarianism at its most barbaric. My Opa, who worked for the railway and watched a steady stream of cattle cars filled with people head east to oblivion, understood the cost of letting too much power accumulate in the hands of a few, and how frag-ile democratic freedoms were.

Given my upbring-ing, it isn’t all that sur-prising that I found

myself working for Tommy Douglas in his campaign to win the federal riding of Burnaby-Seymour for the New Democrats when I was teenager. Amazingly, Tommy, who would have been embarrassed to have been voted greatest Canadian (though he richly deserved it), lost by 152 votes to for-mer PR man, Ray Perrault, who was riding on Pierre Trudeau’s coat tails during the height of Trudeaumania. Tommy went on to become federal leader and finish off an illustrious career. Perrault earned the nick-name “landslide Ray” and was appointed to the senate.

Since then, there have been notable

NDP victories: Barrett in 1972; Harcourt in 1991; Glen Clark in 1996, but for the most part there have been losses. As a New Democrat you learn early on that the other side has the money and private media on its side, so losses are inevitable, but playing your cards correctly can effect consider-able change, like universal health care, for example.

So when the red tide swept the coun-try a week ago, I was disappointed. The best outcome would have been an NDP majority, with a liberal opposition, and a conservative party with a few seats, but I was greatly relieved. It was like a big dark cloud that had blocked the sun for ten years had lifted. It felt that way because the party that had over the last decade vilified well meaning Canadians because they cared about the environment, muzzled scientists, appointed slime-balls to cabinet, closed li-braries, shut down world renown research centres, introduced disgusting attack ads into Canadian politics, gutted the Fish-eries Act, ignored the plight of First Na-tions, wrecked the environmental review processes, shut down debate with omnibus bills, and shut down parliament to dodge scandals, was, at long last out of power.

Despite the last ads from the regressive conservatives, the election was all about Stephen Harper. A control freak and auto-crat, he was the party. Instead of leading us to the promised land, Tom Mulcair has led us back into the wilderness. It’s not all bad, though.

Next week I’ll you why.

Trail being built By JACKIE LIEUWEN

TERRACE OFFROAD Cycling As-sociation (TORCA) is building a new trail called Downtube on Terrace Mountain.

“The new trail adds a new interme-diate level downhill route for riders on the Terrace Mountain trail network,” said Tyler Wilkes, TORCA trails di-rector. “The majority of older trails are more geared to experts, and it is crucial for us to expand the beginner and intermediate level trails to help introduce newer riders to the sport.”

The 2.2 kilometre intermediate trail will open a new route from the northeast end of Flathead Loop to Kitselas Road, and adding to the 25-km trail network on the mountain.

Bikers will wind around berms, through trees, and over small bridges, rock sections, and a few mini-jumps.

“It follows a natural ridge down the north side of Terrace Mountain… it’s a part of the mountain that is shal-low sloped enough, not steep, that we can make that beginner, intermediate trail,” Wilkes said. “It has been men-tioned by locals [as a good spot for a trail] for quite a while.”

Wilkes says local contractors con-structed 750 metres of the new trail starting in September. They are wrap-ping up their work due to weather and plan to finish the trail in 2016.

The $30,000 project is financed by government grants, the City of Terrace, Terrace Community Forest, TORCA and local clubs. This year’s costs are covered by Recreation Sites and Trails BC. TORCA volunteers and contractors also finished two other trails north of Kitselas Road this year, the Spring Creek trail and the Lichen.


■ Glow run THE FIRST-EVER Terrace Glow Run Oct. 17 was a hit, with 250 to 300 participants crowd-ing the track at Skeena Middle School, costumed and lit up with grow stick necklaces, bracelets and glasses. Some ran a 1K loop on the track and others ran a 5K loop that circled the surrounding neighbourhood.
