District bites back at dog ownerBy MARGARET SPEIRS

THE REGIONAL District has filed a reply to a civil suit from a dog owner suing to recover some of his legal costs, saying its em-ployees were acting according to policy and the performance of their duties.

The reply was filed Oct. 24 and says “there is no cause of action for legal fees and disbursements incurred in a separate action...the proper course for the claimant would have been to request costs in the legal proceeding regarding the application for the destruction of the claimant's dog...”

The defendants, the regional district and several of its em-ployees including administrator Bob Marcellin, “deny that they breached any duty of care, statu-tory or otherwise...deny that the claimant (dog owner) has suffered any loss, damage or expense, as al-leged or at all, and put the claim-ant to strict proof thereof,” said the reply.

In April 2012, police seized the German shepherd Cane from Paul MacNeil’s home after receiving a call that the dog had bit a child. Cane was first placed in the Ter-race shelter as the Thornhill Ani-mal Shelter wasn’t open and later

moved to the Thornhill shelter.It took nearly a year for the de-

struction order attempt to get to tri-al, culminating Feb. 28 of this year when, after two days of testimony, the judge determined that none of the conditions to declare the dog dangerous had been satisfied.

On Sept. 26, MacNeil filed a notice of claim to recover some of his legal costs, naming the regional district and several of its employ-ees in seeking $25,000 spent in successfully preventing the region-al district from obtaining the order to destroy Cane.

“The defendants … say that at all material times they were em-

ployees of the Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine and were acting in the performance of their duties as employees.

“As such, they are immune from liability in this action...,” the reply continues.

The action against the regional district also alleges that Marcel-lin said MacNeil was entitled to compensation but there was no fol-lowup and a promised written re-port on the whole matter was never provided.

It alleges that when the dog was released from the shelter he was disoriented, having trouble stand-ing and swallowing and that a shel-

ter employee had injected him with a drug in anticipation of the court granting the destruction order the regional district was seeking.

In the reply, it says Marcellin “specifically denies that he made any offer or promise to the claim-ant that the regional district would financially compensate him for the handling of the claimant's dog on Feb. 28, 2013. However, he admits he asked the claimant how the re-gional district might made amends for the sedation of the dog on that day.”

It ends by saying the defen-dants were asking that the civil suit “be dismissed with costs.”

TERRACE MAYOR David Pernarowski said that recent revelations about the B.C. government's backup plan to transport Alberta bitumen by rail through Terrace to the coast as an alternative to pipelines is not going to affect how the city ne-gotiates for the ever elusive second overpass in Terrace.

Recent discussion of rail transport for oil sands product have centred around the terms of refer-ence of a high level government working group aimed at opening new energy export opportuni-ties, which states “if pipelines are not developed, rail will step into the void to deliver bitumen to the west coast.”

Even though the province has made it clear that rail isn't a preferred method for transporting oil products to the coast, the admission of provisional support of such a plan raises questions about how towns would deal with the huge increase in rail traffic.

Terrace's need for a second grade separation doesn't rest on oil-by-rail traffic alone and has more to do with increased cargo coming to and from the expanding port in Prince Rupert and other industrial activity bringing increased truck and rail traffic through the area, explained Per-narowski.

“Those are two separate discussions,” he said. “We haven’t had any government officials come to us and talk to us about that potential [of oil-by-rail].

Overpass discussion continues

SKEENA-BULKLEY VALLEY NDP MP Nathan Cullen will be hosting a series of events across the north-west this fall to discuss the potential impacts of liquefied natural gas (LNG) development in the region.

“Across the North-west, people are hear-ing about LNG, but as a new industry we don’t necessarily know all that much about it. Our goal is to bring those in-dividual conversations under one roof, and bring people the best information possible,” reads a press release sent out Friday, Oct. 25.

“We’re experienc-ing a major transition in the Northwest. It’s more important now than ever for people who live here to have their say in guiding how that economic develop-ment happens. We’re a resource economy and we want to ensure that resource development respects the values we hold as citizens of this place,” reads the re-lease.

The tour, which is being coordinated with the advocacy group Friends of Wild Salm-on, will bring together LNG proponents, local First Nations, economic development groups

and environmental or-ganizations, and other community partners for presentations and dis-cussions, continues the release. LNG Canada, which is proposing to build an LNG export

terminal in Kitimat, is one of the confirmed attendees, said Cullen's Ottawa office.

Cullen will mod-erate the discussions. Possible questions to be considered include:

What kinds of opportu-nities will LNG bring to the local economy and workforce? What kinds of environmen-tal impacts will LNG have? Will companies act upon what they hear

from First Nations and communities during consultations? And what kind of legacy will LNG leave for our region?

The tour will be in Terrace on Nov. 13 at the R.E.M. Lee Theatre.

Stops in Smithers, Kiti-mat, and Prince Rupert have been confirmed, with plans for a tour of the eastern part of the Skeena-Bulkley Valley riding early in the new year.

A WOMAN faces charges after being ar-rested for allegedly rob-bing a woman at a local ATM last week.

Shaunna Burns, 35, has been charged with robbery and disguise face with intent to com-mit an indictable of-fence, reported Terrace RCMP Oct. 24.

At 8 a.m. Oct. 21, a 50-year-old wom-an was injured at the Royal Bank ATM when someone bodychecked her, knocking her to the floor, and stole her purse, said police.

Staff at the bank as-sisted police in obtain-ing video footage that showed the thief wear-ing a mask during the robbery, said police.

Later that evening, police arrested a wom-an on an outstanding warrant out of Alberta for aggravated assault, possession of weapon dangerous to the pub-lic, and failing to attend court. Investigation led police to arrest this woman for the robbery.

Burns was released October 23 on an under-taking to appear in court on November 19 here.

“What we are talking to them about is the port expansion, the development of the Ridley terminal, road and rail and utility ex-pansion. That's going to increase train traf� c just for containers out of the Prince Rupert port,” he said.

Pernarowski also said that Terrace city council would most likely not lend its sup-port for oil transportation to the coast in the � rst place.

“I think the discussion about moving oil-by-rail is one that council hasn't had, but I just don't see there being too much differ-ence in terms of the reasons for the opposi-tion to piping oil, for example,” he said.

“Council has talked quite a bit about the dangers that would pose on the environ-ment. No matter how you transport it to the coast you still have to ship it, which is the main concern that people, particularly First Nations, have about moving bitumen or oil product across western Canada,” he contin-ued.

“We haven't let our foot off the pedal on that one at all,” said Pernarowski of a second overpass.

“We're not going to back off because we are concerned about what they are putting on the trains. It's about all the projects in con-junction with each other that's causing this problem in Terrace,” he said.

“The second overpass is going to need to happen. We feel it needs to happen sooner than later so we are properly prepared.”

At the recent Union of British Columbia Municipalities meeting in Vancouver, city councillors had several meetings with pro-vincial ministers regarding the improvement of traf� c � ow in the Terrace area.

“We speci� cally discussed the long-term need for a second grade separation with [transportation] minister Todd Stone during UBCM and again when he visited Terrace on Oct. 3,” said the city’s chief administrative of� cer Heather Avison.

According to Avison, city councillors also told premier Christy Clark and minister of community, sport and cultural development Coralee Oakes during their revenue sharing discussion about the need for transportation infrastructure.

Avison said the city wants the province to bring local governments, CN Rail, the Prince Rupert Port Authority, and other relevant stakeholders together to “conduct the analy-sis of transportation corridor infrastructure impacts on communities along the Highway 16 road and rail corridor in the northwest.”

“Minister Stone indicated during our meeting that they are in the early stages of developing a framework to do this analysis and that the province would ensure we were included in the process. We have not heard anything further,” added Avison.

Council members also spoke to NDP transportation critic Claire Trevena about the need for a second overpass as well as other transportation issues.

Hold onLocal coalition doesn’t want area to turn into “Fort McTerrace”

By GERALD AMOS, GREG KNOX, and DES NOBLES

“THE CLEANEST LNG in the world,” and “100,000 new jobs.”

These are among the many promises being made by government and industry about the benefits of LNG development.

There is strong support for LNG development from some First Nations who–de-spite being fiercely opposed to the Enbridge Northern Gateway Project–are deter-mined to address the chronic issues of poverty in their communities. Other First Nations have refused per-mission for any type of pipe-line to cross their lands.

Some folks don’t want Terrace transformed into a Fort McMurray, while oth-ers are simply trying to get by and welcome the eco-nomic boom we are in. Most in the Northwest understand that successful major re-source development is never as easy as a press release by a prime minister, premier or cabinet minister.

While our region has wit-nessed dozens of develop-ments proposed and subse-quently abandoned over the decades, we’ve never faced a push for major resource de-velopment quite so complex and challenging to under-stand as LNG.

In fact, there are so many proposed projects that it’s impossible to keep track–it is overwhelming and diffi-cult to fully understand their merits and impacts.

It was easy to see that coal bed methane development in the headwaters of three ma-jor salmon rivers was simply

a stupid idea, and almost all of us understand the risks of oil tankers on our coast–that the promises from Enbridge are empty beyond belief.

We were adamant about fish farms, because we saw that farmed salmon and wild salmon in the same waters led to horrific consequences around the world. We live here because of family and heritage, the wonderful richness of life in a small

community, and the over-whelming physical beauty of mountain towns and wild salmon rivers.

But the economic issues we’ve faced regionally, as smelter jobs disappeared and the forest industry nose-dived, are all too recent memories. It’s hard to ap-preciate the river, mountains and salmon when you’re worried about taking care of your family.

But if this were just about jobs and not about any of these other values that most of us share, then it’s really not that far to travel to Fort McMurray.

We need to figure this LNG thing out. We know there are questions about LNG that aren’t being asked or answered, and many folks, supporters and oppo-nents, are troubled about the sheer pace and scale of what is being proposed.

There are serious ques-tions about air quality, greenhouse gasses, increas-es in tanker traffic, First Na-tion’s rights and title issues, and social issues that haven’t been answered.

Local health care ex-perts, legal professionals and frontline workers are al-ready worried about rapidly increasing social problems associated with the present boom.

We’re starting to under-stand that boom times bring drugs, violence (usually against women) and crime.

And when asking these questions, who do you be-lieve, those that seem to be against any development, or the multinational energy companies whose purpose is to generate even more bil-lions of dollars in profits?

As welcome as the pres-ent economic boom is, there is an increasing realization that these are issues that need to be addressed if the northwest is going to remain the incredible place to live that it is.

Increasingly we realize, and insist, that development projects must be examined cumulatively and not in iso-lation of each other, and that these considerations have to extend beyond just the envi-ronmental risks.

We need to talk about how much development is enough. What’s go-ing to happen to the air we breathe? Are there conse-quences for wild salmon and water quality? How much natural gas do we want to leave for future generations in B.C.? What about frack-ing? What are the climate change impacts and where do our responsibilities lie? Is it really 100,000 jobs? Who gets those jobs? Do we re-ally want to live in Fort Mc-Terrace?

And most importantly, who gets to choose what kind of community we live in, the Chamber of Com-merce, Malaysia’s state owned gas company or the people who live here?

To that end, residents

of this region will be ask-ing these questions over the coming months. We don’t presume to know all the an-swers to these questions, but we are going to try hard to present factual and unbiased information and provide a place where we can have a community conversation about these issues.

If we fail to do that – to be fair and balanced in pre-senting information – we expect to be held to account.

But we know that the quality of life in this region is worth talking about and protecting.

We know most people’s value systems extend be-yond just money. Politicians and industry have not pre-sented a balanced approach to these issues, so we, as citizens, need to do this on our own.

It’s our right, but more importantly, it’s our respon-sibility.

ESTABLISHED APRIL 27, 1988

The recent survey by the Ter-race Downtown Improvement Area (TDIA) shows us both the bene� ts and limitations of this kind of study.

On one hand, it isolated certain aspects of Terrace which need im-provement in the eyes of the 133 participants, garnering well-written, thoughtful suggestions.

On the other hand, the statistical analysis of the comments ended up sounding somewhat dated, as if the general problems noted were a reit-eration of past woe, a list of gripes that are already well on their way to being solved.

Consider the successful rehabilita-tion of walls made ugly by bad graf-� ti over the summer accomplished by TDIA itself, and the addition of beautiful pieces of public art, includ-ing the tree mural by Sidewalkers on Lazelle Ave. and the anonymously painted murals under the old and new bridges.

The top survey complaints of public drunkenness and theft from parked cars does square with re-cent police reports, however, we shouldn’t forget efforts to change this, including the capture of thieves this summer and the overall drop in crime compared to the previous sev-eral years.

Or the tireless – and at times thank-less – work of soup kitchens, shelters, and community support services to give people a hand up off the street.

The survey did ask participants for the positives and those are what we should take with us into winter.

CLAUDETTE SANDECKI

EDITORIALA6 www.terracestandard.com OPINION Wednesday, October 30, 2013 Terrace Standard

Let me tell you how I recall school bus drivers, at least a particular driver my

oldest daughter rode with during her � rst grade.

The year was 1972. We lived 30 miles from Terrace on Highway 16, on a bus route that began in Cedarvale 17 miles farther east and end-ed at Thornhill Primary.

For the � rst year, our six-year-old daughter didn’t complain to us about being bullied on the bus. She did her best to ignore her abusers and hope they would stop. Of course, they didn’t.

Only when Grade 2 began, did she speak out. Her stom-ach cramped at the thought of another 10 months of be-ing a punching bag for a teen more than twice her age and easily four times her weight.

The torment she endured on the bus was similar to that of the 70-year-old New York state bus monitor who was harassed for 10 minutes by middle school students whose misbehaviour was videotaped and posted on Youtube. The video went vi-ral.

But unlike the New York monitor’s case, where school and police investigated and

two teens were suspended for a year, school authorities here took no remedial action, dismissing our daughter’s complaints as “kids will be kids. She should toughen up.”

Her main tormenter, who boarded the bus before it ar-rived at our driveway, was a Twinkie/Ding Dong munch-ing hulk who amused him-self during her 30 mile ride punching her tiny shoulder with his meaty mitts. If his mother packed apples in his lunch kit, he used them as long range ammunition.

No rule outlawed standing or moving about while the bus was in motion. Regulat-

ing hurtful or inappropriate student behaviour was not a driver’s responsibility. He had his eye on the highway, and rightly so, but the wel-fare of his passengers should also have included keeping kids safe from mistreatment by other, particularly older and bigger riders.

Each morning she was more reluctant to climb aboard when I escorted her to the end of our long drive-way to await the lights com-ing around the nearest bend.

One fall morning, after a session of her tearful com-plaints, I climbed aboard with her and delivered a scathing rebuke to the kids – a major mistake – since it did no good whatever, merely made her more of a target. The whole time I talked, the driver slouched in his seat, smirking.

For us as parents, the last straw was the winter morn-ing when our driveway was so icy I could scarcely stand up.

“Why,” I asked myself, “would any sane mother re-linquish her seven-year-old to a driver who clearly has no control over his passen-gers and that morning would be hard pressed just to keep

his vehicle on the highway, never mind watching for gross misbehaviour in the seats behind him?”

I walked her back to our house. We arranged to home school her by correspon-dence course.

For the next two years I home schooled both our daughters. Every forenoon we worked two hours on their lessons. In the afternoons, they tagged along with me feeding 500 rabbits, chick-ens, geese, pigs and sheep. At bedtime, I read eight to 10 library books to them.

During camping sea-son, they came along as I registered campers, emp-tied garbage, mowed lawns, scrubbed washrooms, and answered campers questions about � shing and hiking in the area.

They played games with campers’ kids, kibitzed with seniors around their camp-� res.

When we moved to Thornhill in the spring of 1975, both girls performed at their Grade 4 and 3 level, had no classroom catching-up to do.

And they no longer rode a school bus with the hulk or an oblivious driver.

Not all bus rides are sweet, she says

The Mail Bag

It can be a green world after all

Terrace Standard Wednesday, October 30, 2013 VIEWPOINTS www.terracestandard.com A7

T he idea that we see what we look for is an easily demonstrable proposi-tion.

Ask people to spend one min-ute listing all the brown things they see around them. They’ll hurriedly scan around, mentally latching onto details, and quickly create a list of perhaps a dozen or so items.

The trick to the experiment is then to ask them what green things they saw. After some ex-pressions of, “You didn’t ask for that!” or “You fooled us,” those involved usually admit they can recall only one or two items. They saw plenty, but noticed only what they looked for.

The same principle holds for more serious affairs. Thinking about the seemingly intractable problem of human-caused global warming, it is easy to become depressed, very fast. Humans are still throwing greenhouse gases into our atmospheric “sewer” like there’s no tomorrow, about a thousand tons every two seconds.

Based on more and better cli-mate research, scientists keep pronouncing sterner warnings for an apocalyptic future. Their latest

report was published only recent-ly by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.

If one bypasses the usual vit-riolic commentary exchanged on blogs and news source com-ment lists, and goes directly to the source documents available on the IPCC web-site (www.ipcc.ch), one can judge for oneself the seriousness of their findings.

The physical science basis of the report comes from over 209 scientists from 32 countries, and 50 editors reviewed their work. Their website includes explana-tions of how these people com-piled the report, and what evi-dence supports their conclusions. Key findings include: Warming is unequivocal. Changes are un-precedented. The atmosphere and ocean have warmed. Snow and ice have diminished. Sea level has risen a minimum of 0.19m over the last century. Ice sheets have been losing mass. Further uptake of carbon by the ocean will increase ocean acidification. Human influence on the climate is clear. Most aspects of climate change will persist for many cen-turies, even if emissions of CO2 are stopped.

“Science” purchased by car-bon-intensive industry funders continues to bleat contrarian opinion, but about 97 per cent of published scientific studies on this subject confirm the IPCC’s findings. Serious researchers are becoming increasingly angry at the misrepresentation of their work by incompetent frauds.

Oddly enough, if 97 per cent of medical opinion suggested a person had cancer and needed a specific treatment, it’s highly unlikely he would ignore medi-

cal advice. For some bizarre rea-son, huge numbers of the public ignore this logic in the climate “debate.”

One could become very de-pressed. Lots of brown is on the horizon. One sometimes imag-ines few among us care much about the climate change issue. However, this depressing as-sumption is demonstrably false if one examines the way that busi-ness is beginning to react, way ahead of the average citizen.

Responsible business lead-ers understand only too well that climate change poses enormous risks to their (and our) ongoing success. Www.environmental-leader.com posts articles, day after day, outlining corporate ac-tions worldwide to lower carbon footprints and to become more sustainable in operations. Aside from benefiting global society (public good) they are saving a lot of money (private good) in the process.

Carbon disclosure scores rank companies by industry accord-ing to their senior managements’ understanding of business issues related to climate change and to climate risk. For example, world

purchasers of cotton (clothing manufacturers) understand that climate change is already impact-ing cotton production by creat-ing water scarcity and drought in growing areas. High scoring companies include BMW, Nestlé, Spectra Energy, Swiss Re, Bayer, Siemens, Microsoft, BASF, and many others. Swiss Re (a major global reinsurance company) ar-gues that transition to a low car-bon economy is not an option; it’s a necessity.

In other good news, Scientific American reported just last July that global renewable electricity will reach nearly 25 per cent of global production by 2018. Data indicate that U.S. businesses can save up to $780 billion over 10 years by reducing GHG emissions by an average of 3 per cent annu-ally. The carbon lobby may own many of our politicians and media outlets, but increasingly, business understands what is at stake: a liv-able and profitable future.

Examine the evidence. There’s lots of brown out there. But let’s look for the green, too, and per-haps colour a few things that way.

Dear Sir:Lengthening the Millen-

nium Trail is a pretty proj-ect, but shoddy city side-walks also need attention.

Example: the never re-done dig-up of crumbling Munroe between Park and Lazelle, a drainage ditch after precipitation; the walk up from Thomas to Mountain Vista, which af-ter rain is a swampish bog at the top and treacherous otherwise for the fist-sized, ankle-breaking rubble dumped on the slope in the pretense of upgrade; the risible redo of the bot-tom of Kenney, whose bike lanes, meant to pass as sidewalks, too, are already ignored because of miserly paving.

If any residents have more examples, fill the City's bucket list to chide it into action. Hopefully, it won't overflow and be dumped into the river of neglect.

Even short funds, the City could entice ever-ingratiating Enbridge and new man Donny van Dyk to lather up extra green-wash.

What about the sidewalks?

CONSTRUCTION WORK has begun on the Millennium Trail extension in Terrace, B.C.

Down the pipe, she says

Dear Sir: TransCanada Pipelines and Spectra Energy plan to

build pipelines to transport natural gas from the fracking grounds of northeastern BC, to LNG plants on the west coast. Pipelines would pass though the Kispiox Valley, following different routes, on to Cranberry Junction and westward.

Each of the three 48-inch diameter pipes (Spectra proposes two), would have the capacity to move nearly 4 billion cubic feet of gas per day, all for export. This would be more than 20 times the province’s current do-mestic use. The National Energy Board reports: natural gas pipelines of smaller diameter, but of similar length, experience one operational leak annually, and one cata-strophic failure every seven years.

Roads would parallel each pipeline’s entire length. A large swath would be cleared and sprayed to prevent vegetative growth. There would be over 1,300 stream and river crossings on each route, including the Babine, Skeena, and Kispiox. Construction crews would tem-porarily dam and divert many salmon bearing streams. Spectra Energy has stated there would be no construc-tion jobs for locals – zero.

Proponents ensure us that these pipelines would be exclusively for natural gas. At the moment, people in eastern Canada are outraged and fighting TransCanada’s plan to convert a major natural gas pipeline system from gas to oil. In Alberta, oil pipeline ruptures occur on aver-age twice a day. Only the larger ones require reporting.

Is this what we collectively want for our territories, our lands, and our salmon? Time to pipe up before the pipe is laid down.

Edward Jones Financial Advisor Kevin Marleau Receives Spirit of Caring Award

Kevin Marleau of the financial services firm Edward Jones in Terrace recently won the firm’s exclusive Spirit of Caring Award designed to recognize those financial advisors who exemplify the values, culture and spirit of giving back.

Jim Weddle, the firm’s managing partner, calls Kevin a leader in the firm and an example of what a dedicated Edward Jones financial advisor can achieve.

“Kevin has demonstrated unyielding dedication to giving back to his clients, community, other financial advisors, branch teams and their regional network,” Weddle said.

Marleau said he is honored to receive the award.

“Edward Jones is a partnership. That structure is not just financial, it’s a philosophy,” Marleau said. “We work together, help each other and all share in the rewards of

working with long-term individual investors. That brings out the best in everyone.”

Kevin was one of only 213 financial advisors out of the firm’s more than 12,000 to receive the award.

Edward Jones provides financial services for individual investors in the United States and, through its affiliate, in Canada. Every aspect of the firm’s business, from the types of investment options offered to the location of branch offices, is designed to cater to individual investors in the communities in which they live and work. The firm’s 12,000-plus financial advisors work directly with nearly 7 million clients to understand their personal goals -- from college savings to retirement -- and create long-term investment solutions that emphasize a well-balanced portfolio and a buy-and-hold strategy. Edward Jones embraces the importance of building long-term, face-to-face relationships with clients, helping them to understand and make sense of the investment options available today.

In January 2013, for the 14th year, Edward Jones was named one of the best companies to work for by FORTUNE Magazine in its annual listing. The firm ranked No. 8 overall. These 14 FORTUNE rankings include 10 top-10 finishes, consecutive No. 1 rankings in 2002 and 2003, and consecutive No. 2 rankings in 2009 and 2010. FORTUNE and Time Inc. are not affiliated with and do not endorse products or services of Edward Jones.

Edward Jones is headquartered in St. Louis. The Edward Jones website is located atwww.edwardjones.com, and its recruiting website is www.careers.edwardjones.com.

Dear Sir:I was concerned by state-

ments made in your Oct. 23 pa-per (Lack of permits for pipeline survey is troubling, A7) suggest-ing there were infractions made when surveying work was done by industry in the Kispiox Valley. Residents should know this work is not contravening any laws.

These activities are governed

primarily by the Land Surveyor's Act, and all land surveyors in B.C. must adhere to the require-ments of this Act.

The BC Oil and Gas Commis-sion has conducted inspections on the activities in the Kispiox area, as has the Ministry of Forests, Lands, and Natural Re-source Operations. These inspec-tions showed no contravention

from those activities authorized under legislation.

If anyone has concerns about the activities related to the sur-veying, they can contact the Commission at 250-794-5200 and we will follow up with the companies involved.

Ken Paulson, P.Eng. Chief Operating Officer

BC Oil and Gas Commission

Foreign anglers are friendlyDear Sir:

I do not know Skee-na Angler Rob Brown's character "Bill" in his column First class fish-ing, in the Oct. 9 edition of The Terrace Stan-dard.

Mr. Brown's "Bill" is a foreign angler, just like myself, and Mr. Brown's column pres-ents unfounded obser-vations.

I don't know if Mr. Brown was making a cut at me because I have countered his commen-tary in the past.

If that is his attempt, more wrong about me he could not be and I would like to counter his mythical demoniza-tion of "Bill."

I can sum up Mr. Brown's fantasy of Bill's fishing financial feasibility study with one word – Alaska. Also know that Cana-dians enjoy unfettered access to Florida and Texas gulf coast habitat to hugely greater num-bers than his Region 5 Skeena.

Also, Mr. Brown knows guided fishing is just not my style and I am all but certain this is a view that Mr. Brown too shares. There is nothing wrong with guided fishing but it is just not my approach, but each to their own.

His dig about having money while my coun-trymen suffer is only because my depression-era parents instilled a strict foundation of waste-not-want-not. I have saved but do not have enough to waste.

I have never profited on the back of anyone as he so paints. Rather, wherever employed, I have added value and been compensated ac-cordingly. I have always worked in private enter-prise and never within

government organiza-tions.

I'll not stoop to judge the source of Mr. Brown's compensation(s), pen-sion or otherwise. Such demonization has little to do with the root sources of Mr. Brown's irritation. His irritation is that he does not have his river to fish the way he wants to fish it at any given moment of his de-sire.

If foreign anglers were not in his way, local gear fishermen would be. In time each will be sidelined and de-monized until his goal is achieved. After his river is declared fly fishing only, he will then take

further umbrage with their use of skagit line and/or weighted flys. Eventually he will have his river almost to him-self with no new friends to be made.

A couple of weeks ago, I spent several days as a search and rescue volunteer for the two young men who were lost from your commu-nity. Other foreign an-glers were involved as well. This was time that could have been spent fishing but I felt the im-mediate needs of their family and the Terrace community trumped fishing without consid-eration.

I have made many friends in your commu-

nity. It does not matter to me how they fish or if they fish. My hand of friendship is always extended to Mr Brown. In my world, agreement is not a condition of friendship, but honest, factual un-bigoted de-meanor is. Mr. Brown, you are only segregat-ing yourself from future riverside friendships that will never be en-joyed. May I suggest that you reconsider this to be the reason that you go fishing? Maybe you will find more enjoy-ment and catch more fish too? Steelhead can sense tension on the line.

HEARTBROKEN.That's how Vera

Hancock describes her feelings about the dam-age done to the bench she paid to have made for her husband Allan so he could enjoy the view from their backyard.

“My husband had a massive stroke three years ago. To help him enjoy the outdoors, I had paid to have a stair-well and bench built for him, considering our backyard is on an incline,” said Hancock. “He loved to sit up there everyday and the view was his treat! Sad to say some kids wrecked his bench and stole one of his bird feeders.”

“I can't replace it and I don't know what we're going to do,” she said.

The couple lives on a � xed pension and can't afford to have it repaired, she said.

Their trailer backs up against a hill and Hancock had rock stairs with two handrails in-stalled so her husband could get up to the spot with the wooden bench.

From there, he could look out west across the city and what people have told them is the best view in the city.

And it helped him get better.

“He sat on that bench day after day and he im-proved incredibly,” she said. They put up sev-eral bird feeders too and one is missing.

Little lights strung on the railings of the stairs for nighttime were sto-len too, she said.

“When we're home, we're outside a lot,” said Vera. “I'm always out. I like to keep him mov-ing.”

The couple was liv-ing in Fort McMurray

and was camping when Allan had a massive stroke at age 49, she said. After many weeks in the University of Al-berta hospital and many more at Glenrose Reha-bilitation Centre, they sold their house, stuffed what they wanted to bring with them in their

truck and drove to Ter-race to their new place.

They had visited Ter-race to � sh in the past, met people and had thought about retiring here, she said.

She didn’t report the crime to police, feeling that too much time had passed.

Seabridge Gold (Seabridge) has been busy over the last few months working on the KSM Project, which is located 65 kilometers northwest of Stewart, Brit-ish Columbia. Here’s an overview of what the com-pany’s been doing.

KSM Project Environmental Assessment

As you may be aware, the KSM Project is undergoing a joint provincial and federal review process called an Environmental Assessment (EA). On August 12, 2013, Seabridge received notifi cation that the KSM Project entered the 180-day review period under the BC Environmental Assessment Act and the 182-day review period under the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency. The review includes a 45-day public comment period and several Open Houses in which Seabridge participated. Seabridge would like to thank community members in Telegraph Creek, Iskut, Terrace, Smithers and Stewart who attended the Open Houses to support the KSM Project and to learn more about it. It has taken Seabridge nearly fi ve years and al-most $146 million to get to this point, and they aren’t done yet. The KSM Project is approximately one-third of the way through the EA review and the com-pany hopes to have a government decision in 2014.

KSM Camp Drilling Program

The KSM camp is the base from which Seabridge conducts seasonal onsite exploration, geotechnical, engineering and environmental work for the KSM Project. Over the summer, Seabridge ran an exten-sive drill program, with up to six drills working 24 hours per day and up to 50 people staying at the camp.

KSM drillers set out to fi nd higher grade cop-per and were successful in part because the drillers were able to use state-of-the-art directional drilling tools. Directional drilling allows additional drill holes to be started part way down a previously drilled hole, which means a company needs to do signifi cantly less drilling to reach its target zone. This is the fi rst time a directional drill has been used in BC, and Seabridge is very pleased with the results. During the program, the company drilled more than 32,000 meters in 40 holes. That’s more total meters drilled than any other year of Seabridge’s drilling program. The company will be analyzing the results of its summer drill program over the coming months and will share this information as soon as it’s available. Dease Lake Offi ce

Seabridge is opening a KSM Project offi ce in Dease Lake, BC. Stay tuned for more information.

KSM PROJECT UPDATE

FOG THICKER than seen in at least 12 years delayed several � ights at the airport last week.

From Oct. 18 to 21, Air Canada cancelled � ve � ights and diverted three.

Hawkair cancelled nine and diverted one � ight, which includes the new Central Moun-tain Airlines � ights to Calgary, which are run by Hawkair, said Kit-imat-Terrace regional airport manager Car-man Hendry.

Oct. 22 saw one or two delays, he added.

“I haven't seen the

fog this thick in the province all at the same time in one day ever and we don't usually have fog for this length of time in Terrace,” he said, adding the fog is usually here one day and gone tomorrow.

Hendry stressed that those � ights weren't all due to the weather in Terrace as the fog in Vancouver also affected many � ights.

“Usually we get about three fog days a year and this is not the time of year for them,” said Hendry.

“We might get one or

two around the begin-ning of December.”

He said the fog stretched from Seattle to Prince George during those days.

“So all airports are being affected by it in the northwest,” he said.

Planes leaving from here heading to Van-couver need to have an alternate airport which can be Penticton or Fort St. John, which did re-sult in some passengers' bags being bumped so the planes had to be fuelled up with enough fuel to get them here plus enough to divert to

those places, if needed, he said.

The normal alternate is usually Abbotsford but that was fogged in as well, he added.

A planned trip with various stops across the northwest for pro-vincial � nance minister Mike deJong earlier this month was kiboshed be-cause of the weather.

But the fog was ex-pected to lift over the weekend, with Environ-ment Canada issuing a statement Friday that a cold front would move the fog away from the coast.

Fog delays travellers

AT LEAST one person reported a � reball passing over the area during the late evening of Wednesday, Oct. 16.

"It had a tail and it was quite visible and a bright white," said Pat Smith, who was out-side on his patio at 10:05 p.m. that night.

He believes it was a meteorite, made all the more visible because of the clear sky that night.

Smith described it as passing from the south to the north.

On Facebook, Alice Belna suggested Smith saw a comet.

"It is probably a comet. Almanac says we will be able to see it in November with the naked eye. Maybe it is early or closer than anticipated,” she said.

She called the comet ISON, which is also called Comet Nevski–Novichono and which was discovered a year ago.

Kimberly Wookey con� rmed Smith's sighting, saying she and her husband saw the same thing.

What’s that in the sky?


The BMWi electric car powered its way with ease around city streets and along picturesque Dutch canals. KEITH MORGAN

The future is electricAMSTERDAM – BMW has joined the race for the electric car dollar.On the evidence of two days driving the funky-looking all-electric i3 through the narrow streets of old Amsterdam and alongside the picturesque canals of rural Holland, the German manufactur-er may have a winner.For starters, it is simply great fun to drive. The lithium-ion battery, encased in an aluminum cage below the five-seater cabin, provides enough in-stant zap to the electric motor to propel the car smoothly to 100 klicks in less than eight seconds. Left the stopwatch

at home, but counting “one-and-two etc.” to count seconds, my lips barely mouthed “six” before the speedo leapt from 80 to 120 km/h while passing.It handles beautifully at any speed and hugs the road; thanks to the technolo-gy-laden aluminum platform, that gives it a very low centre of gravity. Turns on a Euro too, as we found during the many U-turns made on blocked streets.Of course, F1 take-offs will suck the battery dry somewhat more quickly but you need not be a snail in the so-called Comfort mode to achieve the adver-tised 160 kilometres range on a full

tank, sorry, fully-charged battery. Plug it in at home overnight and you are ready to roar; go for the enhanced charger and raring to go in three hours.The remarkable efficien-cy is largely due to two factors. The carbon-fibre body is light and regen-erative braking gener-ously juices up the cells. In a two-hour drive, the only time I dropped the anchors was when one of Amsterdam’s kazillion cyclists cut in front of me. Ruined my score, the blighter.Accepting the more slug-gish EcoPro and EcoPro+ modes will add 20 and 40 km to the range. Frankly, in this configuration the i3, is good for any daily commute between Vancouver and Abbotsford and most journeys in southern Vancouver Island. The very areas where BMW expects to do the most business.The i3 offers premium brand luxury for few dollars short of $45,000. Shell out another 4 grand for the unimagi-natively named ‘range-extender’ and

you have a car for the Interior and beyond. Way beyond. As the battery runs low, a two-cylinder, 647cc gas engine, which sits neatly by the side of its electric brother, kicks in and generates power to top up the battery. Push it and gas stops will be frequent because only a minuscule nine-litre tank feeds it. However, most folks will get a chance to recharge before too many visits to the pump.There is another hope for those living beyond Hope. Private companies are seriously evaluat-ing the supply of fast chargers that top up bat-teries in less than half

an hour. Eyes will be on the Sea-to-Sky Highway where chargers are now found at Britannia Beach. And they are popping up in parking lots the length and breadth of the province as the popularity of plug-in hybrid models by other brands grows.View our BMWi3 gallery and read more about the electric car at drivewayBC.ca

CAR CARE & REPAIRFew drivers want to think about their vehicles breaking down. But cars are not foolproof, and even the most well-maintained vehicle can be sidelined by a fl at tire or a dead battery. In certain times of the year, a breakdown may be an inconvenience that takes up a few hours of a person's time. In extreme weather situations, a broken down car could be dangerous. Preparing for emergency situations can help drivers get moving faster.There are certain items that should be kept in the trunk or cargo area regardless of the season, and some of these items should be modifi ed as the seasons change.• First aid kit: If someone is hurt in an accident, medical supplies in the trunk allow drivers and/or passen-gers to treat injured persons until paramedics can arrive. Go over what is in the kit and learn how to use each item correctly.• Flares: If your car breaks down at night or in situations where vis-ibility is poor, fl ares can keep other drivers away from your vehicle when it is parked on the side of the road. Flares also will illuminate the area so that you can work on fi xing a problem or alert emergency per-sonnel as to where you are located.

• Jumper cables: Jumper cables enable you to recharge a dead battery, a common problem in cold weather. Automotive retailers also sell portable car battery chargers that can provide the boost needed to the battery in the event you can-not fi nd another car around to offer assistance.• Spare tire and tools: Tire blow-outs or holes in tires are unpredict-able. Having the necessary items at the ready can get you back on the road faster. Learn how to change a tire. In a pinch, tire sealant can be used to get you to the next service station and away from the side of the road.• Flashlight and batteries: A fl ash-light makes it possible for drivers to see under their vehicles and under the hood more effectively. It also can be used to grab the attention of fellow motorists who might be able to help. Keep extra batteries for the fl ashlight on hand as well.• Blankets: A blanket can keep passengers warm if a car breaks down in chilly weather. Blankets also can be placed on the ground so that you can lay on the road and be cushioned from debris when looking under the car.• Extra clothing: An extra set of

clothing can be handy should your clothing become soggy or soiled.• Nonperishable foods: A few snacks and bottles of water stashed in the car can help quell hunger while waiting for a tow truck.• Sand and kitty litter: Sand can weigh down the back of a rear-wheel drive vehicle to provide better traction on slippery roads. Sand and kitty litter also can be sprinkled underneath tires to help them grip the road better when you are trying to get the car out of an icy or muddy patch.• Charged mobile phone: Keep your cell phone charged so that you can make emergency phone calls or contact a tow company in the event of a breakdown.• Shovel: A shovel makes it easier to dig a vehicle out of mud or snow.Certain things should not be stored in a vehicle. For example, hot weather can cause lighters and cans to burst inside of a car, so such items should not be kept in your car. In addition, freezing tem-peratures may reduce the effective-ness of certain products and cause liquids to freeze and burst.

Mazda, on a global scale, is a small company, so developing new products is a major undertaking. This is why they shared engineering with the Ford Motor Company for many years but that relationship dissolved in 2010. Instead of modifying existing, co-de-veloped vehicles platforms, engines and transmission, the company took a radical turn in the way they develop new products. I’m sure by now you have seen Mazda’s ads for “Skyactiv Technology”. This is the name for their radical design and manufacturing ap-proach. By engineering vehicles from a blank sheet of paper, Mazda could fo-cus on simplifying the manufacturing process to save money, a crucial part of this small companies survival. This new 2014 Mazda3 is the third vehicle to be built using Mazda’s Skyactiv

Technology, behind the Mazda CX-5 SUV and Mazda6 sedan.

Looks The platform used to build this all new Mazda3 is a shared chassis with the other two Skyactiv products. They elongate, widen or shorten the platform to suit each vehicle. In this case, it is slightly shorter then the CX-5. In fact, the new Mazda3 is lower, wider and slightly shorter than the last model but the wheelbase has been stretched by 60mm. This pushes the wheels out to the corner of the car, providing a solid stance and improving interior space. Then Mazda went about hand forming the body to produce a style that conveys motion, even standing still. Sold as a sedan or hatchback, the long hood, sweeping

lines and powerful stance make a statement in a class that can be rather subdued.

Inside The goal for this latest model was to have a dynamic looking interior, fitted with materials and features not typically found in a compact car. The dashboard is covered with, not only a soft material, rather a plush-feeling dash. Then there is the dash-mounted communication screen placed in the centre of the dash. This is standard on the middle GS and upper GT trim; the base GX is not so lucky. The driver can touch the screen to access music, navigation and phone settings but once the car is in motion the screen is only adjustable through a rotary dial controller between the front seats.

Mazda places three, easy-to-memorize, buttons above the dial for access to the most common functions. On the top GT model there is even a heads-up display that sits right on top of the driver’s instrument cluster, helping to keep the information high enough that it focuses the driver’ s at-tention on the road. The seats are comfort-able and can be fitted with leather on the top model. Even though Mazda lengthened the wheelbase by 60mm, the back seat isn’t long on legroom.

Drive By developing the direct injection engines, chassis and transmission at the same time, the Mazda engineers were able to shed weight. The lighter platform and powerful 2.0L 4-cylinder with 155hp is a nice match on the base and GS trim levels, driving either a 6-speed manual or all-new 6-speed automatic. The top GT is equipped with a 2.5L engine with 184hp but is only avail-able with the automatic. I’m surprised that the manual is not offered with this engine, as the driving enthusiast will be attracted to this engine right away. On the road, the steering is very quick and the feedback well above average. The previous Mazda3 was at the top of the class in terms of driving

dynamics and this new model takes it to a whole new level. I’m confident in saying that this new model feels like a much more expensive car.

Verdict The standard features list is strong, includ-ing keyless entry, push button start, Blue-tooth and USB connectivity for $15,995. If you equip the base model with air conditioning and automatic transmission, the price jumps to $18,795. The middle GS trim is the place most Canadians will shop and the range is from $19,695-$22,595 for things like heated seats, leather steering wheel, rain sensing wipers and more. The top GT with the larger engine, 18-inch wheels, xenon headlamps, Bose stereo and navigation, ranges from $25,855-$$29,855. As you can see, the price can ratchet up rather quickly. The upside is that this is a car that can provide solid, fun to drive transportation, wrapped in a stylish package. Higher-end models feel like a much more expensive car, with qualities not found previously in this class of car. So, the price might be justified. I truly believe that Mazda is onto something, this is the best car in the compact [email protected]

‘‘The signing on the dotted line did make her heart beat quite a bit faster.’’Alexandra Straub


For Car Girl’s GarageAmy Lawson, 35, leads an active life.She likes to be outdoors, to play sports, surf, bake and has a thriving social life.Professionally, she was recently promoted to be the Territory Manager for Drydock Footwear Group. Her territory covers British Columbia and Alberta. Being on the road is a size-able component of her work.When it came time to trade in her Nissan Xtrail – which she loved to pieces – she was torn when deciding what vehicle to purchase.“The Xtrail has been a fabu-lous car, but I’ve outgrown it and need something that can better accommodate all my equipment,” she says.

In the process, she consid-ered SUVs, hatchbacks and crossovers. The Ford Flex, Ford Escape, Honda Pilot, Mitsubi-shi Outlander were on her list to look at.Amy states, “When I started to research vehicles, the No. 1 thing on my priority list was interior space. I needed lots of it.”She continues, “I didn’t mind if the vehicle wasn’t sexy! I need functional. Good looks were secondary to me.”Because of her current role, it requires travelling around the Lower Mainland, Vancouver Island, BC and Alberta with various promotional gear, display units, sample products and more. Not to mention, if she can

pack in her sports equipment like her bicycle, snowboard or surfboard in, too, that would be even better.

Price was also a factor for her. “I had a budget to work with,

and I needed my payments to be around $500 a month,” Amy mentions. “And since I’d be spending a fair amount of time behind the wheel, I’d need something that was comfortable, too.”When chatting about poten-tial matches, the idea of a minivan came up.I saw the excitement in her eyes.In her personal life, she is not the typical minivan candidate. With no children to drive to hockey or soccer practice, some people might question her enthusiasm. But to her, it seemed like the perfect fit.“I was just so excited about it. Minivans make life so much easier and you can

just do so much with them,” she explains. “It made a lot more sense than a pickup and much more sense than an SUV.”A few minivans/minivan-esque vehicles she looked into were the Honda Odyssey, Toyota Sienna and Mazda5.Though the Honda and Toyota appealed to her, it was the Dodge Grand Caravan that had exactly what she was looking for. It was in her price range and had some handy features that would allow easy loading and unloading of her gear. She even really likes its look.Amy tells me, “I can fit two mountain bikes inside with people and still have room for more.”

The Dodge Grand Caravan that she selected is the Crewe trim, which also came with some extras. She has a towing pack-age, a rear DVD entertainment system (perfect for passing time on ferry rides!), Stow ‘n Go seats, remote keyless entry to the doors and liftgate and more.While she can’t be happier with her purchase, the signing on the dotted line did make her heart beat quite a bit faster.“There’s a lot of anxiety to buying a car. It’s a big pur-chase and you want to make sure you make the best choice you can.”And speaking of choices, the biggest question when select-ing her chariot of choice?“Should I get the white one

or the black one?!” she jok-ingly asked.She went with black.When looking back on the experience and looking at her Grand Caravan, she happily says, “What I didn’t think would be very sexy vehicle ended up being the sexiest to me. And there’s so much space!”Ladies, if you’re looking at buying a new vehicle and would like some suggestions/assistance, email the Car Girl’s Garage and you could potentially be featured in Driveway. Include your name, email address where best to be reached, a little bit about yourself, what you’re looking for and what price range you need to work with.

LEIPZIG, Germany: BMW believes there is a big future for wind power in its cars.No, not for the propulsion of the prestige brand’s models but the making of their sleek machines of the future.Long before visitors arrive at the auto manufacturer’s new hi-tech factory in this economically depressed region of what was once communist East Germany, they greeted with a wave from four giant wind turbines. Those metal giants power the pro-duction of the impressive five-seater BMW i3, test driven today in Driveway. The i3 models now roll silently off the pro-duction line; silently, not just because it’s an all-electric vehicle but also because the entire manufacturing process rarely rises above a whisper.The BMW i3 is the first of the manufactur-er’s projects for which the environmental sustainability objectives were determinedly set at the same high stan-dards as the economic goals applied to the manufacturing process. Next year, it will be joined by the i8, which looks every inch a super-sports car.To achieve those lofty dual goals, the BMW Group retains close control over the complete production process from the carbon fibre production, which starts in a hydroelectric powered plant in Moses Lake, Wa.

Entire noisy and stinky processes associat-ed with manufacturing in steel are gone. Robots screw and bond the important parts together and send the shells on their way, suspended form an overhead rail. Happy workers can actually hear each other chat down on the factory floor, bathed in sunlight and breathing freely courtesy of an efficient hi-tech ventilation system. Amazingly, the energy used is 50 percent of that required to turn out a conventional car and 70 percent less water is used. My group roamed around looking for waste, which turned out to be a waste (of time) in itself. The bits and bats and ‘wasted’ trim are gathered up and recycled for use elsewhere along the production line.BMW even boasts the lithium ion batteries that will power each car’s motor will outlive

the individual car’s life. They can be used as storage batteries when the car is put out to pasture, sorry, recycled.If one of the eight modules should fail then a replace-ment easily drops in rather than there be a need for an entire battery replacement. Body parts again drop into place with the minimum of fuss and cost. They say the cost of a fix will likely mirror that of putting a BMW 1-se-ries back on the road after a similar crash.

A RECENT letter sent to the city calling for the McLaren family to be � rst in line for future street naming has caused coun-cillor Lynne Christiansen to renew her call to name streets after people and not trees and inanimate objects.

“I have been pretty ada-mant that we should stick to naming our streets after people. It’s the more dif� -cult thing to do because it’s easier to just pick a name of a tree, but when it comes to naming people, there is con-troversy over who it should be,” said Christiansen.

She explained that the tradition of naming streets after people has weakened because it’s easier to just choose namesakes that can’t complain about the selection.

A letter from Sharone O’Brien, granddaughter of pioneer Joseph McLaren, asking for his name to be considered, inspired Chris-tiansen to bring up the issue at the October 15 regular council meeting.

“I have sent several let-ters,” wrote O’Brien to the city staff. “Needless to say, I was (am) very frustrated

with the lack of action from the city.”

There are currently 95 names on the list of street name hopefuls. While there are no new streets being built, currently there is on-going demand for names, and Christiansen wants the city’s street naming policy straightened out before then.

“It’s an honour just to have your name put for-ward and keep it on � le. That’s an honour in itself,” said Christiansen.

Since 2007, four new roads that were christened with names divided 50/50 between human and nonhu-man names.

In 2007, the nonhuman name Golden Place was bestowed upon a cul-de-sac off of Halliwell Ave.

Then in 2008, the pen-dulum swung back to hu-man, with Smith Ave. on the bench named after Ter-race pioneer Fred Smith, who operated a store here after the Second World

War. Council followed this up with another person-name designation in 2009 for Hallock Place, after the colourful city councillor Ruth Hallock.

However, the pendu-lum swung back to the in-animate with the naming of Industrial Way on the city airport lands.

Christiansen said she wants pioneer families to have priority, as it provides a sense of continuity with the past and those who struggled to make the town what it is today.

O’Brien’s letter to staff made a case for the McLar-en family name, whose members have lived here for nearly 100 years.

Christiansen said she thinks this name would be a good choice consider-ing how they are a highly regarded family by legacy families in the area.

“Let’s hang on to the pioneer name,” said Chris-tiansen.

The long-standing coun-cillor also put out a call ear-lier this year to have the name Sockeye Creek returned to its original name Eliza Creek af-ter the Kitselas sister of chief Walter Wright and husband of early pioneer Tom Thornhill.

SOUNDS OF drilling and hammering echoed through city hall this past summer as a long-term program to spruce up the appearance and ef� ciency of two key municipal buildings pro-gressed.

“The works have im-proved the appearance of the building, but the prima-ry focus has been on maxi-mizing energy savings and improving systems func-tion,” said director of public works Rob Schibli.

“About eight years ago, we completed a full assess-ment of city hall and the � re station,” continued Schibli. “The assessment indicated it would be more cost effec-tive to upgrade the existing building than to rebuild.”

Eight years later, the work is ongoing. To date, the phased upgrades, about one a year, have included:

New windows, insula-tion and exterior to the south wall at a cost of $100,000;

Roof upgrades including major insulation, drainage, structural and fascia works at $162,000;

Installation of a lift sys-

tem for accessibility at a cost of $70,000;

Renovations to the Fire Department hose tower and bays costing $158,000;

Upgraded windows, in-sulation and exterior to the west wall costing $120,000;

$15,000 of lighting up-grades in 2012 done under a BC Hydro Power Smart program;

New HVAC air handler systems and electrical up-grades included in the other projects.

Future upgrades will include new windows and insulation and exterior to the east wall on the Eby St. side in 2014, a project that Schibli said will signi� -cantly improve the look of this most visible side of city hall. New hot water pipe up-grades are slated to happen in 2014 and 2015, with a new heating boiler unit in-stalled possibly in 2015.

A concept plan for front entrance improvements is set to be undertaken in 2014, with emergency gen-erator upgrades and parking lot restoration also on the list, albeit without a set date.

COMMUNITYMARGARET SPEIRS

(250)638-7283

A LOCAL developmentally disabled woman who received grant money to fix up her living area so she could stay at home more comfortably had the chance to thank the government minister respon-sible in person.

Deanna Freeman handed a thank-you card per-sonally to Don McRae, minister of social develop-ment and social innovation, after he took a look at her new digs and talked to her parents at their north Terrace residence Oct. 16.

Thanks to the Giving in Action Society grant money, in 2011, Deanna’s basement living area was retrofitted with a safety rail in her bathroom, the area brought up to safety standards and the comple-tion of her unfinished living space.

A railing was also put around the veranda where she spends a lot of time.

McRae visited with Deanna to see the improve-ments and heard from her parents, Louise and Rob-in, about how the grant helped them create a less stressful, safer place for Deanna.

McRae also came to town to kick off this year’s Widening Our World (WOW) program nomina-tions at Safeway, which has won the award twice.

The WOW awards recognize community leaders who promote inclusion for adults with developmen-tal disabilities and are put on by Community Liv-ing BC. B.C. residents can nominate individuals or organizations, employers, service providers, self-advocates or family members who make a positive difference in the lives of adults with developmental disabilities.

Nomination forms are available online at the Community Living BC website, at Community Living BC offices and the nomination deadline is Nov. 30. Award winners will be announced early next year.

YOU WON’T want to forget to turn the clocks back one hour this weekend or you’ll end up early to everything afterward.

Turn back the clocks and watches one hour at 2 a.m. Sunday Nov. 3 to return to standard time.

It has been said that the time change is early Sunday morning in-stead of on a weekday so people aren’t late, or early, for work.

Instead, they can be an hour early, or late, for church.

In different coun-tries, people view time in different ways.

For example, in Ger-many, punctuality is very important – being late for an appointment is the height of rude-ness and may even earn you a rebuke from your host. However, in Bra-zil, time is often ignored and people sometimes run hours late for meet-ings, doctor appoint-ments and even college classes.

Going back in time

HAVING THE community plus friends and family support her during her illness is a huge comfort for a local woman.

Kim Kaye’s friends and many others put together a benefit dance to raise money to help in her battle against cancer recently.

She said when she was diagnosed it left her speechless but having everyone think of her is a great feeling and she thanked every-one last week.

“Like many, this journey is one I hoped I would never travel,” said Kaye in an email.

“But, knowing there are people who care about me and what I am going through pro-vides a comfort that I cannot begin to de-scribe.

“I am humbled at the generosity and sup-port you provide me and my children.

“What a blessing! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your generosity and support!”

PHOTOGRAPHER BRANDON Broderick shows what it’s like to spend time taking pic-tures at Kleanza in the middle of winter.

Showing the beautyNO MATTER how long you’ve lived in the northwest, you never get tired of its beauty.

For relative newcomer Brandon Broderick, a self-taught photogra-pher, it’s a never-ending tableau rich with colour, landscapes and wildlife to document in pictures. And now ev-eryone can enjoy 64 pages of his pho-tos in his new book Skeena II.

“The main reason I take pictures is to show people some stuff they might not get to see,” he says. “And how beautiful the area is that we live in.”

In a little less than two years, he has taken enough photos for a book and a half and already has many for another book.

Many photos come from ideas and often he has to wait for the weather to be right. And others are shots he just stumbles upon. Often the photos he likes aren’t what others like and ones he thinks are throwaways are people’s

favourites, he says.He puts so much time and planning

into some photos and takes so many shots just to get the perfect one, he develops a connection to it, he says.

No one sees the failed attempt af-ter failed attempt, they just see the perfect one.

Broderick started taking photos about seven years ago when his mom got him a small camera for Christmas.

He would shoot random things like sunsets to use as his computer desktop background and his neigh-bours started asking for the photos for their computer desktops.

He realized there was something worth pursuing and went from there.

And he hasn’t run out of things to photograph; one of his first subjects was Kleanza Creek and now he’s taking photos of it again in a differ-ent way. Skeena II is on sale at Misty River Books.

I’ve long-loved Dr Seuss’s book Oh, the places you’ll go! For being silly and hilarious, it’s oddly inspiring, and whenever I read it, I’d want to

travel and wonder when, when, when?I love almost everything about Ter-

race, but I’ve always been fascinated by other places and hoped to travel physically, not just through the words of a story or pictures in books (though I wouldn’t trade those journeys and ad-ventures!).

And I’ve gone on some very fun gal-livants—lots of road trips and camping excursions, annual conferences, and beach seeking. But I’ve always, always, always—since I was barely able to read—wanted to go to England, particu-larly London.

And guess what? The day has ar-rived. Literally. I leave tomorrow (or, rather, since you’re reading this in the paper—I left last week!).

London is definitely romanticized in my mind, and I don’t know if my trip can possibly live up to my expectations (except even as I write that a little voice is yelling, “Of course it will. It totally will. You are going to love, love, LOVE it!).

I can hardly read over my itinerary without squealing—oh, who am I kid-ding? I don’t even try not to squeal. I’m staying with one of my best friends and a favourite fellow writer, so it’s really a holiday dream trip.

Here’s our rough plan (please forgive the copious exclamation marks. I can’t help myself):

Day 1 - I arrive, YAY! Most likely very jet-lagged—or so everybody warns. I suspect I’ll be too freakishly excited to be tired! A drive about tour, then dinner

in London. Then, supposedly, wine and chatting at my friend’s flat, but I suspect the first sip will put me to sleep.

Day 2 - Weather permitting we will tour Highgate Cemetery, and visit Tra-falgar Square, Leicester Square, China Town, and the Covent Garden area. My friend also wants us to “pop into” the Natural Portrait Gallery just to see Van Gogh’s Sunflowers (Her words, “Just for a minute because it’s free and near the door, so it won’t take long.”—mind boggling!) Piccadilly Circus after dark!

Day 3 - Church of some kind, some-where. Visiting and walkabout. Harrods for tea!

Day 4 - The Natural History Museum and Westminster Abbey. Also Big Ben,

dinner in Soho (at my friend’s favourite fish restaurant, Randall and Aubin), then sightseeing and exploring the area.

Day 5 - Off to Lancashire on the train to visit family I’ve never yet met, and seeing cool rural things full of my roots (am hoping for a cemetery, along with the old family halls and farms).

Day 6 - Day in Lancashire, evening train back to London. I’m so freakishly excited about the train! I’m first class on the way down, and last class (ha ha) on the way back. If only I had Harry Potter-esque robes for the journey.

Day 7 - The Tower of London and St. Paul’s Cathedral.

Day 8 - Hyde Park and explore Not-ting Hill area.

Day 9 - Our chauffeur (a.k.a. my friend’s hubby) will deliver us to Stone-henge, and then we’ll head to Oxford for exploring and dinner/drinks in the Eagle and Child—the pub, established in 1644, that J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis and the Inklings had their weekly writers’ meetings!

Day 10 - Stratford Upon Avon!!!!! I will see Shakespeare’s grave!!!! Eei-eieieieieieieeieieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!

Day 11 – Up in the air . . . again, liter-ally. I don’t fly out until afternoon, so I may sneak in a little something else.

I have a brand new sketchbook jour-nal in honour of my trip, along with a package of gorgeous drawing pens as I have delusions of doodling things I see and trying to jot down interesting bits I spy and hear and experience. I suspect, however, the journal will be neglected as I ogle my surroundings eyes wide, mouth agape. I can’t wait!

And on that note . . . I should pack. Hold the fort until I’m back.

• 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.

Zion Baptist Church Worship With Us

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of James David Hall. Born in Toronto On-tario on the 2nd of May, 1943, Jim was the eldest son of Vivian Percy (Pat) Hall and Helen Isobel Burns. As a young man he moved from Ontario to B.C with his family and attended school in Terrace, graduating from Skeena High School in 1960. He worked for a time as a draftsman for Bob’s Welding, and Columbia Cellulose here in Terrace then moved back to Ontario where he became one of the top illustrators for the Ontario Ministry of Lands and Forests. He and his wife moved back to Terrace in the early 1980’s where Jim obtained employment in the publishing industry. Jim was very active in the RCAC 747 Squadron where he became an Offi cer Cadet and worked as the camp-out co-ordinator. He also was a valued member of the Terrace Pipes and Drums Society where he learned to play both the bagpipes and the bass drum. He was one of the earliest members of the Local Black Powder Club and his knowledge of antique weapons was extensive. He was a talented artist and musician and loved to spend time with his friends from the various Blue Grass bands in the area. After a brief battle with cancer he passed away quietly at 0700 on 17th of October 2013. Jim is survived by his wife Joanne and his son Michael, and brothers Don (Christine) and Pat (Laurie), as well as many nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his parents Pat and Helen and his sister Karen. His family would like to express their very great appreciation for all of the consideration and assistance from the doctors and staff of Mills Memorial Hospital as well as the unending support from the local Cancer Society volunteers. And thanks to all of his many friends who helped in so many ways.

We will miss him terribly. He was our hero.

ATLANTIS TAEKWON-DO’S athletes are back from worlds with medals around their necks.

Eight club members trav-elled to Edmonton to compete in the International Chang-Hon Taekwon-do Federation 10th Anniversary World Cup, held Oct. 18 and 19 in Ed-monton, Alberta. The tourna-ment saw 650 competitors compete, with eight rings go-ing at all times.

“The tournament was amazing,” said Atlantis Tae-kwondo coach Cody Skog, noting his club did “very well.”

“I knew they would do well but it’s still very exciting how well they did,” he said.

Destiny Stewart took gold in sparring and silver in pat-terns; Jimmy Nijar received silver in sparring; Aquilies Downs took silver in spar-ring; Malcom Neifer took sil-ver in sparring; Barbra Bond received silver in sparring;

and Carla Seaton took silver in sparring and bronze in pat-terns.

But Skog didn’t share his coachees’ successes, tearing his hamstring just before his match.

He fought and won that first match, but halfway through the second match tore it more and could not continue.

“It’s too bad,” he said, jok-ing that he won a ‘big injury’.

“I just love sparring at that level,” he said. “Oh well, next time.”

The tournament was a chance to get introduced or reconnected to the taekwondo community, both socially and culturally, he said.

“So much respect. And the knowledge and experience is priceless,” he said.

It was also a chance for Skog to connect with black belt competitors from around the world, who he has invited to a tournament here next spring.

THE CALEDONIA Kermodes se-nior boys soccer team is setting up for provincials after turfing the competition at the Northwest Senior Boys Soccer Zone competition in Prince Rupert two weekends ago.

Under the rules of the tourna-ment, each team played each team and the winner was decided by wins or, in the event of a tie, goals for and against as provincial regulations only allow two games per day.

The Terrace boys started their first game against the hometeam Charles Hayes Secondary School Rainmakers on Saturday, who had won against Smithers Secondary School 1-0 earlier that day.

“We were quite pumped in re-gards to playing the Rupert game thinking that we had a legitimate

chance,” said coach Mike Denom-me. “We’d beat Rupert before and beat them quite handily before ... And the whole goals for and against scenario, we knew we had to put a lot of balls in the net against them.”

And that they did. Caledonia ended up winning 4-0,

setting the bar high for the goals for and against component of the tour-nament, if needed.

But it wasn’t, as Terrace faced Smithers in the third and final game of zones and the two teams played to a 1-1 tie, giving Terrace the over-all victory with one win and one tie. Prince Rupert placed second with one win and one loss, and Smithers finished in third with one tie and one loss.

“When we first started we were

under quite a bit of pressure,” said Denomme. “Smithers did hit a cou-ple of crossbars, but I reiterated to the boys that the score wasn’t 0 – 0, that it was 3 – 0 for us. It made them a little more comfortable and relaxed to play, knowing that they had a hypothetical 3-0 lead.”

And Caledonia’s Steven Schuss played a big role in the win – scor-ing four out of the five Terrace goals.

“The overall team was great, but he really stood out,” said Denomme. “He was pretty much the anchor.”

Terrace is now planning to attend provincial championships in Burn-aby in November, with fundraising efforts for the trip currently being organized.

■ Look upTHE TERRACE Mountain bike trail is a touch steadier now, thanks to 5,000 pounds of gravel long-lined by he-licopter to the top of the mountain Oct. 19 to aid in trail maintenance and address some of the muddy sections of the mountain bike trail. Canadian Helicopters and pilot Chris Hampton donated the airtime and Terrace Redi-mix loaned the bags for slinging.

River Kings vs. Ice Demons FridayTHE TERRACE River Kings are hosting the Kitimat Ice Demons on home ice this Friday, Nov. 1.

As of last Friday, the Kings were sitting in the bottom half of the standings with one win and three losses, totalling two points.

After falling to the Ice Demons in Kitimat 6-3 for their first game of the season, splitting their home double-header against the Williams Lake Stampeders, winning the first game 3-0 and losing the second 7-5, the team fell at home last weekend 3-2 against the visiting Prince Ru-

pert Rampage. With five games played, Kitimat

is in the top half of the standings so far, with three wins and two losses, totalling six points.

Kitimat won both of their first home games opening weekend, beating Terrace and the Quesnel Kangaroos (7-3).

The Demons are one and two on the road, beating Prince Rupert 3-1 but falling to the Houston Luckies 4-0 and the Smithers Steelheads 4-3.

Smithers is undefeated so far and

at the top of the pack with four wins and eight points.

Williams Lake is close behind, with seven points from their three wins and one loss, to the Kings.

After Friday’s game against Kiti-mat, the Kings head out on the road.

They’ll head to Houston Satur-day, Nov. 9.

And to Smithers the weekend af-ter that, Saturday, Nov. 16.

They’ll then be back in Terrace to host Smithers on Nov. 30 and the Houston Luckies that Sunday after-noon, Dec. 1.

Ric was drinking whiskey. He drank it quickly. He drank it as if it was a pain killer and he had pain he was desperate to get rid

of. His eyes were glazed, and unfocused, yet he looked fierce and determined.

I had hooked two fish in one after-noon on my maiden outing on the river using inferior tackle. I knew squat about the Thompson and willingly admitted it. This stuck in Ric’s craw. He didn’t hold it against me. Rather, he deeply resented the fact that I had shown fish could be caught there at that time. This was bad math. It was plainly wrong when he, Ric Olmstead, re-garded by all in the know as top fish hawk, had spent many long, cold, fruitless days floating roe over those places fish frequent – many known to nobody else – and all of them discovered after the expenditure of considerable effort.

Some steelheaders have been lionized for catching prodigious numbers of steel-head on remote rivers. Ric, though his pro-fession as a fisheries biologist afforded the opportunity, wasn’t one of those. Ric was the guy who caught steelhead behind, in the middle of, and in the front of people. Ric caught steelhead in crowds when no-body else, even though they were using the same tackle, could.

Ric was driven. To hone his skills to a razor’s edge he fished from first to last light. One evening just after Hallowe’en, he was powering his Zodiac inflatable

past the Island below Spence’s Bridge when he noticed the rod that he had hastily leaned against the tubular gunwale was about to bounce out of the boat. He reached out to grab it and lost his grip on the tiller. The Zodiac lurched like a bronco, bucking Ric into the riv-er. As he floated down-stream the pilotless raft circled and returned to its skipper like an obe-dient dog. Ric miracu-lously managed to get a purchase on the boat and pull himself aboard. He drove his craft to the boat launch in the failing light, moored it, hopped in his truck, and drove to the bar in town.

“He walked into the Log Cabin Inn still wearing his waders, soaked to the skin,” said Ric’s oft times fishing partner, Roger Bligh. “He sat down. Then he or-dered a bottle. Poured a glass, downed it in one gulp as we watched. Without say-ing a word, he poured another, looked up and said, ‘You’ll never believe what hap-pened.”

The flock of Kingfishers, the club to which Ric belonged, believed his every

word. They too were in-fected with the steelhead bug, though not to the same degree. They un-derstood how the quest for steelhead could lead a man to be out too late in the evening alone on a big unforgiving river without a life jacket, wearing waders, in a small boat entrusting his survival to an outboard motor.

Ric was in fierce, un-forgiving competition with himself. He was obsessed with and pos-sessed by steelhead. Es-pecially those from the Thompson, that big river

cutting deeply into the desert, surrounded by sandy, sage-covered hills, hoodoos, rug-ged canyons, full of racing rapids, with a bottom so slick cleats, carpet, and a wading staff were essential tackle, a rugged river containing rugged fish – the most ferocious and powerful steelhead in the world. It was there, at Big Horn, Martel, the Graveyard, the Y Pool, the Grease Hole, the Island, and all the places in between that Ric Olm-stead pursued fish passionately. The details of that pursuit gathered momentum and spread.

“We’d come off the river after a day’s

fishing,” Roger said, “and all these fisher-men we didn’t know would race up to ask Ric how many steelhead he’d caught, and how big the biggest one was.”

For Ric adulation and fame meant little. He was driven to best his personal best catches and to catch a larger steelhead than anyone else.

There are large fish in the Thompson. Steelheaders talk pounds. A twenty pound steelhead is a big fish. A thirty pound fish is the fish of a lifetime. Ric may have hooked a fish that large, but he had never landed one. Roger had. He invited me to his home in Burnaby only days after it had come back from the taxidermist. We had just ar-rived and opened a beer when the doorbell rang.

It was Ric. He had heard Roger’s trophy was finished and wanted to see it. Roger ushered us down the stairs and into his den. He turned on the lights. Under the bright-ness – a spotlight aimed at the wall – a huge male steelhead glowed.

Ric looked at the big buck like a monk at a religious icon. Roger beamed. The scene was surreal. Three men in the sub-urbs oohing and awing over a fish out of water.

The Log Cabin Inn was filling up with ranchers and steelheaders. We wished Ric good luck and made our way under the stars down the sage-lined trail to Art’s camper. It was still, and still cold.

Sports ScopeMilestone year for Centennial’s Senior Girls volleyball team CENTENNIAL CHRIS-TIAN’S Senior Girls volley-ball team hit 10th overall in the provincial rankings for Senior Girls “A” last week, marking an exciting milestone for the team.

“I’m so proud of my team,” said coach Kelsey Horlings, noting the support of assis-tant coach Rayna Braam. “Although the boys’ teams at Centennial have placed multi-ple times in the top 10, this is the first time our Senior Girls have placed.”

Horling has coached most of the team since Grade 7, saying she has “seen them grow into fantastic teammates and strong players.”

Of the eight players on the team, two have been pulled up from Grade 9 in order to have enough members for the team.

“They have caught on quickly and blend right in with our senior players,” she said.

“This is the most coach-able team I have ever had – all of the girls show up to prac-tice ready to give it their all and are eager to learn, which has helped them get to where they are this season,” she said.

“They also have a genuine love for the sport and know how to have fun with it, but I am most proud of the way they encourage and support each other on and off the court,” she said.

The team’s played in three tournaments so far, losing only one game to Smithers Se-

nior Secondary’s AAA team. In their most recent tourna-

ment, two weekends ago, the team placed first out of nine

teams, beating out Charles Hayes from Prince Rupert (AAA) and Hazelton Second-ary (A) in the final matches.

Next weekend, the team heads to DP Todd in Prince George before zones in Hous-ton Nov. 16.
