Survey says clean it up By JOSH MASSEY A SURVEY of Terrace residents released by the Terrace Downtown Improvement Area (TDIA) society shows that the main gripes about the downtown core are public drunkenness and buildings in disrepair. The survey, conducted during the Terrace and District Chamber of Commerce’s April Business Expo held at the Sportsplex and released last week, focussed on challenges and assets of the downtown core. Forty per cent of the 133 people surveyed cited intoxicated people as their main issue and 26 per cent said buildings being rundown. Another 12 per cent indicated they felt there was a problem with parking, including lack of spots and theft/vandalism. The survey included residents from several age categories, with 8 per cent representing people 10-18 years of age, 15 per cent 19-30, 21 per cent 31-45, 44 per cent 46-65 and 12 per cent 65 years and up. The comments included reference to “unfriendly (inebriated) pedestrian loiterers at night”, with “fighting, drunks, garbage from them.” As for the rundown appearance, specific comments included “The [former Terrace] Co-op lot, Inn of the West” which “looks barren and awful”; “colours of buildings are horrible, state of streets in poor repair”. The survey shows that 81 per cent of Terrace residents will take out of town visitors on outdoor JOSH MASSEY PHOTO activities as opposed to a minority who would most likely take visitors shopping or to local pubs and TDIA COORDINATOR Dennis Lissimore, hired this summer, shows off the raw data pages that he assembled from the survey information collected earlier this year. He has also put together a newsletter that will be available free around restaurants. town. Cont’d Page A17
Dog owner nips at district in court By MARGARET SPEIRS THE OWNER of a dog, which spent nearly a year in an animal shelter here after biting a child while a court order was sought for its destruction, is suing to recover some of his legal costs. Paul MacNeil has named the Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine and several of its employees in seeking $25,000 spent in successfully preventing the regional district from obtaining the order to destroy Cane, a German shepherd. “At this point, this is a small claims court matter to recover some of Paul’s costs but there are
issues involved which are troubling as far as [the regional district’s] actions and lack of action,” said Ken Anderson, lawyer for MacNeil. In April 2012, police seized Cane from MacNeil’s home after receiving a call that he had bit a child. Cane was first placed in the Terrace shelter as the Thornhill Animal Shelter wasn’t open and later moved to the Thornhill shelter. It took nearly a year for the destruction order attempt to get to trial, 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. MacNeil’s notice of claim indicates he “is seeking compensation for his legal costs, including the fees and disbursements billed by Ken Anderson, plus the cost of Dr. Rebecca Ledger, the animal behaviour specialist retained to assist him.” It alleges that when the dog was released from the shelter “Cane was disoriented, having difficulty standing and swallowing and had been injected with a drug in anticipation of a destruction order [the regional district] had been pursuing in court.” The notice of civil claim also
alleges that the regional district “filed the application for a destruction order out of time, acted in bad faith in seeking the destruction order instead of a remedy under the bylaw, chose to ‘expert shop’ to obtain an expert opinion that Cane was ‘dangerous,’ as defined in the Community Charter, choosing to obtain the opinion of a local veterinarian instead of obtaining the opinion of a local dog trainer once [the regional district] determined that the opinion of that trainer might be favourable to Cane.” It alleges that regional district staff member “Angela Vanderboon, on the day the court decision came
down, before the decision was given, injected Cane with a drug to sedate him in preparation for the destruction order [the regional district] anticipated obtaining. That injection [the regional district] had no authority to administer and could have had – and may yet have – serious consequences for Cane.” The action also alleges regional district administrator Bob Marcellin said MacNeil was entitled to compensation but that there was no follow up and that a promised written report on the whole matter was never provided. As of late last week, the regional district had yet to file a response.

X-ray upgrade underway MILLS MEMORIAL is getting a new x-ray machine, replacing one that’s well past its prime. “It was really at the end of its life and it was hard to maintain and to find parts,” explained the Northern Health Authority’s Chris Simms of the old machine. The project includes renovations to the room in which the new device will be housed, within the hospital’s imaging department. “What we’re going to have is better imaging quality and lower radiation exposure,” said Simms of the new device. The new device incorporates digital technology, superior to the analog one its replacing. And it’s also less expensive with a total project cost of $400,000 compared to the $800,000 price tag for a new analog one alone. “So it’s not only better, it’s cheaper,” noted Simms, adding physi-
cians and specialists will have the benefit of improved images. The digital aspect of the new machine also means it will be easier and quicker to transmit images to elsewhere if needed. Simms noted that patients will also benefit from reduced radiation exposure thanks to the new technology. And that technology will result in faster scans so that technicians will be able to see more patients each day, he said. Sixty per cent of the cost is being covered by the Northern Health Authority and 40 per cent by the Northwest Regional Hospital District, a regional taxation authority. The hospital district “is pleased to partner with Northern Health to see this equipment replacement go ahead, allowing Mills Memorial to maintain and improve services,” said hospital district administrator

Teen given probation THE SECOND of two teens charged for vandalism near Caledonia Senior Secondary school late last year has received the same sentence as the first teen. The 15-year-old, who cannot be named or identified according to the Youth Criminal Justice Act, will spend one year on probation and do 75 hours of com-
munity work service. The 15-year-old and a 17-year-old were arrested Oct. 29, 2012 after witnesses called police at 2:48 a.m. to report two figures in dark clothing who appeared to be attempting to saw through a power pole outside the school, said police at that time. The pair ran when they saw police but offi-
cers followed and found them hiding in bushes on the Howe Creek Trail. Police found a saw nearby by following footprints in the snow. Classes were cancelled for the day at Caledonia while BC Hydro crews replaced the pole at a cost estimated at more than $25,000.

Forestry company renews efforts By JOSH MASSEY
hind on stumpage payments to the province for the logging it has done. The company has been put on a fivemonth repayment plan by the province but officials say they can’t provide information on whether the plan is working. YaoRun twice this year had entrances to its logyard blocked by lo-
cal contractors who said they weren’t being paid for work performed. The most recent blockade, in September, was conducted by Terrace’s McPherson Trucking. Company owner Vic McPherson said he was happy to finally receive payment from YaoRun, but that he probably wouldn’t be doing work for the company after
having over $10,000 withheld since May. “You learn from your mistakes,” said McPherson, “don’t keep making them.” “The only reason I got a little action is because I blocked the road off and then they got excited, so at least I got paid anyway.” The company was also evicted from a house on McConnell
Ave. in the Horseshoe it was using as a business office. “All the previous employers left the company suddenly and there is nobody working here. We can’t make things happen if there is nobody working here,” said Sung. Recently another company from Vanderhoof, Zacharias Contracting, was hired.
It is now sorting and cutting logs in preparation for the shipments YaoRun expects to start next month. The property YaoRun is leasing from the city has had a long history of forest-related activities. It also served as a logyard for Skeena Cellulose which once dominated the industry in the northwest through a pulp mill in
Prince Rupert, a sawmill here in Terrace and a sawmill in Carnaby east of the Hazeltons. That company went into receivership in the late 1990s and various attempts to revive all or parts of its operations were unsuccessful. Its mill was last owned by a local company, the Terrace Lumber Company. The mill has since been dismantled.
A FORESTRY company which has had financial problems this year is renewing efforts at restarting operations on land it has leased from the city. YaoRun Wood Ltd., owned by Chinese interests, has new people on site and is preparing to move out logs worth an estimated $3 million which have been accumulating since spring. 2012 Terrace & District Chamber of Commerce “We are going to buck those logs up into Business Excellence Awards Official Ballot 5.9 metres and put them Sponsored by Silvertip Promotions & Signs and the following Award Sponsors into containers and get Sponsored by the following Award Sponsors them ready to ship to China.

Being a bus driver is about more than just getting the kids to school on time. By ANNA KILLEN
t’s 7:06 a.m. on a foggy, early October morning when the school bus pulls into the turnout at the end of a long driveway just outside of Rosswood. Veteran bus driver Tony Sousa has been up since 5 a.m., and driving Hwy113 north from Terrace for over an hour when his first riders – who have been patiently waiting at their designated bus stop atop the family quad with their mother – burst through the bus door. “Tony, I lost my tooth!” says eight-yearold Natasha. She’s clearly been waiting to share this big news. She plops comfortably onto her seat, two back from Tony, her younger brother taking the seat across the aisle. It’s her ninth tooth lost, she says. The tooth fairy gave her $2. Over the next hour, just over a dozen more students will fill the seats, picked up at various stops on the winding route back to Terrace – the longest route of the 16 Coast Mountains School District bus routes in the area. The buzz and giggle of inside jokes between the kids will rise on course with the sun – tempered by the last of the early morning yawns, and, of course, Tony, who doesn’t let things get too out of hand. “Kids are kids, eh?” Tony says. “They want to play, they want to have fun – that’s what they do. So we need to understand that, but you have to know when to say, okay, it’s going to get carried away and we need to separate them or whatever it might be.” He’s a stickler for the rules – no standing being a big one – and for good reason. His job isn’t just to drive them to school, he says, it’s to look after them and make sure they are safe. “Whether they like me or dislike me, my job is to get them to and from school safely, that’s my job,” he says. “I know some of the kids they go, ‘Oh, that bus driver’s a mean guy’, but you know, I’d rather have a safe bus.” This is Tony’s second year driving the Rosswood route – Run #10. He was coaxed out of a brief retirement by First Canada bus lines, the school district’s contract transportation company, following a 37-year career with the school district that saw him drive the same route in town for 15 years when the district ran its own service. “You get to know the kids quite well because you’re driving them every year,” he says. “You see them growing up throughout the years and then they graduate, and it’s amazing because after so many years you’ll be walking down the street and they’ll go, ‘Hi, Tony!’ It’s really something.” Needless to say, driving this rural route – which clocks in at 230 kilometres a day, round trip – was a bit of a shift from a route within the city. “By far it’s a bit more challenging,” Tony says. “It’s not only the distance.” The Nisga’a Highway, Hwy113, is a busy highway, he explains, noting the high amount of logging trucks and commuter vehicles. There’s also wildlife to look out for, fog, and a climate that fluctuates with the rolling hills, especially in the winter. “I’ve got to get up early in the morning, many times I have to chain up,” Tony says. The brand-new 2014 bus – an automatic with impressive visibility – should help this winter, as does knowing that if the roads aren’t safe, he can make the call to turn

AT TOP, bus driver Tony Sousa with his bus that travels route #10 to Rosswood each school day, Oct. 2. Below, Ottis Broekstra peeks out from his seat before he and friend Lily Dinwoodie, in back, get off the bus. around – or his boss, a veteran truck driver, will make the call for him. Tony could have applied for a different route this year, but decided not to on account of the fact that by now, he’s gotten to know the kids on the route – and them him. “They’re pretty good kids, I must say. They’re very respectful,” Tony says, noting the initial adjustment period – the last bus driver, who was very well liked, held the route for five years – seems to have passed. “They really liked her, she was very good with the children and all of a sudden this guy comes along changing things ... they’re going, ‘Who’s this guy?,” he laughs. “They know me by name now.” And do they ever. “Tony, you must get up realllllly early,” notes one tow-headed rider, as the bus snakes its way closer to town. “Tony, is it hard to take care of us all?” asks another. Tony glances up at the rearview mirror, says, no it isn’t that hard. But it is a bit more challenging now than it was when he first started driving years ago, he says to me. “They’re asking more questions – if you tell them to sit and behave, they want to know why,” he says. “But that’s a good thing.” But at their essence, children haven’t changed that much. “Their fads, their styles, the things they listen to, yes, that’s changed,” he says. “But they’re still the same kids of yesteryear as they are today.” Ask the kids about their experiences on the bus, and you’ll get a whole range of precocious, thoughtful answers. “Write about how nice it is when you’re on the bus in the wilderness looking at the mountains,” says Natasha. “I was scared to take the bus, but now I
love it,” Lily pipes up, grinning widely. And Natasha again: “I hate, hate, hate the rule no eating.” The no eating rule is a tough one, especially for a bus ride as long as this one. But the kids all nod and say yes when they’re asked why it’s an important rule. “Allergies and choking,” they sing, practically in unison. Young Ottis puts his hands to his neck and sticks his tongue out, pantomiming for his peers. The conversation turns to goats, flowers, roads in the mountains, Kermode bears, and Halloween as group by group the students are dropped off at their respective schools, the decibel level falling with each stop. And just before 8:40 a.m. the last riders shrug their backpacks onto their shoulders and depart the bus at Ecole Mountainview, the end of the line. All of the transfers used to happen at Skeena Middle School, but that
was changed this year because of congestion. Now, drivers drop students at as many of the individual schools as they can, with the remaining students transferring at Ecole, meaning fewer transfers overall. The silence of the empty bus is almost louder than the kids as the bus makes its way through Terrace to park back at the bus depot. Tony checks for any forgotten items and gives the cab a sweep before taking his break – he watches his two-year-old granddaughter during the day. He’ll be back early-afternoon to fuel up and chat with the other bus drivers before the trip back to Rosswood. Overall, not a bad gig, he says. “I do enjoy driving the bus and the children. If you don’t enjoy it, it’s the wrong job for you,” he says. “And come the summertime, the springtime, it’s an awesome drive. I’ll leave early and just sit up by the lake there, and I’m going, they pay me for this?”

EDITORIAL
Visitors IT’S almost to the point we’re running out of fingers and will have to take off our shoes and socks to keep on counting up the number of provincial cabinet ministers who have visited the area since late summer. In quick succession the energy and mines minister, the community, sport and cultural development minister, the transportation and highways minister, the environment minister, the social development and social innovation minister, the international trade and Asia Pacific strategy and multiculturalism minister and the natural gas development and housing minister have all touched down here. (We’re not counting the aboriginal relations and reconciliation minister – John Rustad’s from Prince George and that makes him a neighbour.) So what brings a good chunk of the cabinet to electorally-unfriendly area given that the northwest has elected NDP MLAs for two elections in a row? Since there is no fall sitting of the provincial legislature, it might be the need for ministers to be seen to be doing their jobs – and rightly so. Getting out of the office is a good way to touch base with reality. More certainly, it’s a matter of those three letters – LNG. With the northwest being strategically important to the development of the industry, the provincial government has suddenly found us on its map. Expect those visits by cabinet ministers to continue.

very 911 call for Search and Rescue potentially risks the safety of volunteers and pilots flying support helicopters or planes, particularly in B.C.’s mountainous regions. Do users of the outdoors give any thought to that risk before they head out ill prepared in case something goes wrong? Judging from the Terrace Standard’s report of an October 5 incident when two men had to be airlifted from the top of Copper Mountain at nightfall, those two hikers didn’t. “The two men,” reads the report, “at least one dressed only in shorts, had underestimated the climb, and were unprepared for the stormy weather that brought snow to the high elevation.” Fancy the astonishment of this 21 and 24 year old. Snow at the peak. In October. We’re talking Copper Mountain here, a peak close and visible from Highway 16 and Thornhill. Locals (one of these men was a local) know that mid September on, this peak may be snow-covered after any overnight rain at ground level. I picture these two drain-

CLAUDETTE SANDECKI ing an afternoon coffee at Timmie’s when one said to the other, “How about we climb Copper Mountain?” “Great idea. Let’s go.” So off they went, attired for tooling around town in a heated SUV, taking no safety precautions beyond a cell phone. No extra clothing. No orange tarp or garbage bag for shelter or signalling. No extra food or water. No compass. No whistle or mirror. No first aid kit. Bet they didn’t even let family or friends know where they were going or when they should return. The mountain was right in front of them, a few miles
from home. No sweat for this plucky pair. Why observe BC SAR groups’ safety rules? “No one ever expects to get into trouble outdoors. But, a turn in the weather, mistake in judgment, unexpected injury, equipment failure, or sudden nightfall can quickly change any recreational outing into a crisis.” These two hikers ticked three risks out of five. Way to go. They also didn’t check how long the hike normally takes. As darkness encroached, did one say, “Notice it’s getting colder the higher we climb? By the time we reach the peak it could be dark. Maybe we should turn back?” Probably his companion waved airily. “If we get stuck at the top, we’ll call 911. SAR will give us a helicopter ride down.” And so these intrepid outdoorsmen kept climbing despite dropping temperature, darkness, rain threatening snow, ignoring common sense. Did these two consider they were burdening an overworked SARS who had been slogging 14 days through rugged terrain looking for two lost mushroom pickers?
S TANDARD
Not likely. At 6:30 they called 911. The urgency of rescue calls is evaluated by SAR and the RCMP. Is the person alone? Injured? Age – very young or very old. Prepared to wait until daylight for rescue? Risk of injury if they try to make it out alone? Level of risk to SAR rescuers and pilots – mountainous area, winds, clouds, fog, visibility. This pair wasn’t dressed to spend a 4°C night on the mountain although snow wasn’t evident where the helicopter landed. A Lakelse Air helicopter was dispatched with two SAR volunteers, and two ATVs each carrying two volunteers. Two hours of helicopter time cost $1950 per hour plus tax. SAR billed the provincial government from $750 to $1000 for its members. Total taxpayers’ bill for this “rescue” $4845. Minimum. Expect these hikers to cover the full cost and make a SAR donation reflecting the value of their lives. SAR is not a convenient free service for lifting Mom’s stranded two-year old down from a tot lot platform, a practice becoming far too popular.

The Mail Bag Is Angler an elitist?
CONTRIBUTED PHOTO
BURNED AND destroyed oil-carrying rail cars at Lac Megantic, Quebec, the scene of a July 6, 2013 explosion and fire in which 47 people were killed. The center of the small town was destroyed.
Oil by rail “outrageous” Dear Sir: I guess the Chinese win yet again with word that CN is considering transporting crude oil and bitumen from Alberta through Terrace to Prince Rupert.
Why has city council not advised us about this? This is highly disconcerting. Remember Lac-Megantic when the crude oil derailed and exploded?
We only have one overpass here connecting the north/south ends of town while the trains ride straight thru the very centre of town. And to transport to Prince Rupert, where
they don’t even have the infrastructure to transfer the oil from train cars onto vessels is outrageous that they are pressing to go ahead on this and think safety later.
But hey. If the environmental assessment says it’s okay, we know the usual ‘go ahead’ stamp is gonna happen. Right? Maggie Johnson, Terrace, BC
Dear Sir: After reading Rob Brown’s Skeena Angler column “Counting Crowds” of Oct. 2, 2013, I’m compelled to respond to his misleading and somewhat slanted opinion. I’m a long time angler of the Terrace area and my fishing methods of choice are the fly and spoon. My fishing buddy and I have been fishing together for more than 10 years. He will only use the fly while I use the spoon, which puts me in a unique situation to compare the two methods. Over the years we have found that in some situations the fly will out-fish the spoon, even to the extent that it will pick up steelhead in water that I have already covered with the spoon. This appears to demonstrate that when a good fly fisherman, presents the right fly properly, it can be as productive as the spoon. I’m not insinuating that the fly catches more fish by the end of the day, because the fly rod has some inherent handicaps that usually prevent this. The most obvious, when swinging flies, is finding a piece of water that allows a perfect swing just off the bottom, without getting snagged and with the longest presentation possible before stripping in. The spoon does well in this type of run, but what makes it productive is that it can cover almost any type of water that is normally not conducive for the fly, allowing for more hookups by the end of the day. A lot of fly fishermen fishing the Copper tend to use flies with trailer hooks, which can be problematic for steelhead. These flies that have hooks that trail some distance behind the fly, increases the chances of having the hook lodged deep in the throat, causing possible bleeding. The spoon is not immune from this, but I find it rarely happens when the right size hook is used.

Lack of permits for pipeline survey is troubling
M
y family has been in the Kispiox Valley for six generations. We have strong roots here as guide outfitters, rodeo stock contractors, loggers, trappers, and we own and operate the Bearclaw Lodge in the upper Kispiox Valley. Recently, I had a run-in with some LNG pipeline surveyors cutting a trail from the Kispiox Valley Road down to the Kispiox River along our property line and through our recreation tenure. I asked if they had permits and was told “well, not a permit per se.” They stopped cutting. Infuriated, I emailed Forestry immediately. For us to cut a trail on our own recreation tenure, we need permits, plans, and it’s a long process that focuses on several environmental impacts, consultation with First Nations, maps, etc. yet this company can go wherever it wants to cut trails and helipads right down to our world famous salmon and steelhead rivers? Seems a little off kilter to me.
Years ago, our family was fined for cutting a single tree on an existing trail within our own recreation tenure, yet these pipeline surveyors have free range and no permits? According to Forestry, it’s perfectly legal under the Survey Act. So, I read into the Survey Act and discovered several infractions had been committed; the removal of oversize trees, heli-pads cut at major river confluences, etc. I pursued my grievance with the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations (FLNRO). I simply wanted to know who was responsible for monitoring the activity and would they check into it? “The responsibility to do compliance and enforcement on gas pipeline projects is with Oil and Gas Commission (OGC).” I went to the OGC and they replied “No permits have been issued in regards to gas pipelines through the Kispiox. I cannot speak knowledgeably about the Survey Act as it is not under the commission’s governance.”
GUEST COMMENT
KALEIGH ALLEN It begs the question, does government have a clue? If they don’t, why not? If they do, why aren’t they doing anything about it? Without a single permit issued, there is already confusion, vagueness and too many unanswered questions. We have over 10 natural-gas pipelines being proposed to our coast, but only 3 companies have identified themselves.
We are talking about changing the economic structure of our entire province and yet, we have not had a conversation as a region about how we want this industry developed. More importantly, we haven’t had the conversation about whether or not it’s a good fit. Logging, mining and other industry has had a lot of community consultation and extensive Land, Resource Management Planning that my family participated in as volunteers for decades. All that time and dedication has been deemed “irrelevant” by government for the LNG industry. The BC government seems to be turning a blind eye to some simple facts. Massive lands will be cleared at our rivers and within our forests to allow this pipeline to be built. We are in Northern BC, the practices used in Alberta’s geography don’t fit into our forests, nor do they suit the habitat supported by them. This industry is on track to pump more pollution
into our airshed than the tarsands, several reports claim this will even cause acid rain. I know the majority of our sockeye fry hang out on Flora Bank in the Skeena Estuary to acclimatize to the salt water and that’s precisely where one LNG company has proposed their massive terminal that will see 220 tankers each year. 100 meters away is another LNG terminal also bringing 220 tankers per year. I can’t support an industry that puts our wild salmon economy ($110 million/year) at risk as it’s the very economy that employs my entire family and many other residents. I’m feeling betrayed by our government and the Oil and Gas Commission. They don’t have a clue what’s going on. The people who live here see it everyday and I think it’s time to say, enough is enough Kaleigh Allen lives in the Kispiox Valley where her family owns and operates the Bearclaw Lodge.

Sometimes he’s sensitive but other times he is not One drawback for the spoon is that if it’s hooked in just the right place, the spoon itself can be used as a lever, putting considerable pressure on the hook. Another problem that seems to be inherent to fly fishing is a long fight compared to conventional gear. A gear fisherman tends to get his catch in, unhooked and released sooner, causing less stress on the fish. An experienced fly fisherman could probably reduce this time considerably. However, if this fly fisherman is only catching one fish a day, then they’ll probably want to savour the moment. The colder weather in November usually leaves the Copper barren of tourists, allowing local fishermen to finally fish their favourite runs without having them beat to death. Most of these fishermen run gear and Rob would like you to believe that this handful of local fishermen are so productive that they are harassing more fish than all the fly fishermen during August and September. They may hook more fish per person, but fish per day for the group would be similar to the fly fishermen per day. It’s true that the upper section of the Class 2 Copper is good holding water for adult steelhead, but from my experience when steelhead are harassed the majority of the fish tend to move. This would be futile for the steelhead if they had nowhere to go, but fortunately they are able to move into the Class 1 Copper, which has 62km of mostly inaccessible water except by air.
Radio tagging has shown Copper steelhead even returning to the Skeena and going up a different river, only to return to the Copper when they are ready to spawn. Another interesting fact is that through radio tagging they have found that 70 per cent of the steelhead will spawn in the Class 1 section. For some reason Rob doesn’t want local gear fishermen to have their kick at the can during November and December, which is starting to make him look like an elitist. The last time I checked, the definition of elitism was the belief that certain persons or members of certain classes or groups deserve favoured treatment by virtue of their perceived superiority. Rob stated that, “It is blatantly obvious, therefore, that fly fishing should be mandatory for all steelhead fisheries. Bringing this
about can be effected by simple regulatory changes”. We all know about Rob Brown’s simple regulatory changes, a case in point, the trout fiasco. Now to be fair, which I think Rob has no concept of, he probably wasn’t expecting the sweeping changes that Fisheries implemented when he got the ball rolling, but since it doesn’t affect his fishing, all is good in Rob’s world. With all this being said, the most steelhead I have ever caught in one day was on a fly rod, by a large margin. So I’m guessing Rob isn’t a good fly fisherman or he’s talking through his hat. I hope my opinion doesn’t offend Rob in any way, because for an opinion columnist he can be very sensitive at times. And like Paul Harvey used to say, “And now you know the rest of the story”.

Dear Sir: Why would people live way up north and in such a small community? Let me tell you why. My twin sons attended Centennial Christian School for grades 8 and 9. This September, they are in grade 10 at Caledonia and last week they received a handwritten card from the Centennial Christian school board letting them know how much they are missed. They wished them well in making new friends and welcomed them to come for a
visit anytime. I attended seven different schools, growing up in Alberta, and I never received a letter like that. Maybe they were just too happy to see me move on! Anyways, Centennial Christian School is an excellent school and we are very touched by their thoughtfulness. They are one of the many reason why we live in a small northern community. Shirley Palahicky, Terrace, BC
It’s a small town
Looking for fence couple Dear Sir: Recently I had the misfortune of being the owner of a house that had his fence kicked down by three young teenagers. A couple who saw the incident rounded up the three young boys and made them come over to the house to admit to such and apologize. With the surprise of such action I did not get the name(s) of the couple. By agreement to compensate me for the action, it was agreed that the boys would come over and rake, gather and bag the leaves for me that were down. So it was agreed that this would happen on Thanksgiving Monday. The three boys did as agreed upon, as well as one of the mothers who did all the ordering around and kept them at it and as well did a lot of the work as well. I want to thank the foursome for the splendid job well done. The boys (jokingly) said that they would back next October to help rake up the leaves again, and I said that next time they did not have bother with kicking the fence down. It ended up being eight full of those compost bags. I then asked the boys if they knew the couple that caught them and had them come over and make the apology, and they all said that they cannot recall ever having seen them before. Due to time and convenience the fence was repaired the next morning by my son, thanks, with the assistance of myself. So I am asking if anyone knowing of the couple to have them give me a phone call so that I can thank them for their actions personally. Please call me at 250-638-8587 and ask for Claude.

Volunteers called out on multiple searches race man who left his house Sept. 20 for parts unknown. Volunteers spent time looking for Driediger on Thornhill Mountain. He was later discovered deceased at a creek west of Terrace on Hwy 16. On Sept. 25, three Terrace Search and Rescue members responded to an SOS signal near Hartley Bay which later turned out to be a false alarm. And on Sept. 26 Terrace Search and Rescue
members were ready to assist their Kitimat counterparts after two fishermen were stranded on the Kitimat River after their boat sank. Kitimat Search and Rescue, along with RCMP and DFO officers rescued the two people. Another call out took place October 5 when two men hiking on Copper Mountain found themselves unprepared for stormy weather which had brought snow down to the high
elevation. After receiving a cell phone call from the two men, who were dressed in shorts, search and rescue volunteers flew in a Lakelse Air helicopter to retrieve the pair. Terrace RCMP Constable Angela Rabut said she has great respect for search and rescue teams who go out in all kinds of weather. “Search and Rescue GF-AC Consumer Offer #1 are a committed and amazing group of volad_ForestCap2014_outlines.indd 1 unteers,” said Rabut.

TERRACE SEARCH and Rescue was stretched to capacity in September and October, with volunteer teams having to respond in some cases to more than one emergency at a time. Shortly after the lengthy search for Ike Murray and Michael Devlin Sabo, Terrace Search and Rescue was dealing with other crises right away. They were also responding to other calls during the search for Murray and Sabo. “I’m expecting it to end for some reason. In our world it doesn’t end, though,” said Terrace Search and Rescue official Dave Jephson of trained volunteers who respond to calls from assistance. “In the midst of all this [the search for Murray and Sabo we had] five or six calls,” said Jephson. The list included looking for a missing mushroom picker near Stewart, not an unusual request for Terrace Search and Rescue which can travel throughout the region. The picker subsequently walked out on his own. Aside from the Murray/Sabo search, the largest and most extensive of its kind in the area in several decades, volunteers were alerted to the case of Dan Driediger, a Ter-

Dramatic drop for food bank
THE TERRACE Churches Food Bank started its winter season by giving out the fewest number of bags not only this year but for the last three years. “We were able to supply groceries to approximately 250 families and handed out just about 420 bags full,” said food bank president John Wiebenga. “Our client numbers were considerably less this October compared to October 2012. Hopefully this reflects an improvement in people’s lives which may in part be due to a more positive outlook in our economy.” October 2011 saw 536 bags given out and the number of bags of food given out in October 2010 was 546, the lowest for that year. During the week before this October’s food bank, several young students helped bag about 100 pounds of fresh Community Garden carrots, thanks to the garden’s president Barb Tetz, said Wiebenga. “We also received lots of produce, bakery items and dairy including such items as yogurt and milk to hand out with the usual cereal, hamburger, canned goods, pasta, eggs etc.,” he said. “Again we were blessed with many volunteers, including a number of new helpers.” The food bank will be open next on November 4-7.
Around Town Shoebox season starts OPERATION CHRISTMAS Child shoeboxes have arrived and are ready to be picked up and filled with a variety of items for children living in poverty. Organizer Louise Freeman says shoeboxes are available at the Dollar Store, Walmart and the Terrace Alliance Church. Details on what to put in the shoeboxes can be found at samaritanspurse.ca.

The pair enjoyed breakfast at McDonalds, toured the fire hall, tried on the firefighters’ jackets and extinguished a fire.
Community gardens growing THE GREEN Thumb Garden Society is closing down its community gardens for the winter following a successful summer. That means making sure everyone with a garden plot harvests their food and giving out extra potatoes to those who need them, says garden society secretary Noelle Bulleid. The society’s community gardens include the larger one on Evergreen Ave. and a smaller one on Apsley St. with about 90 plots in total, she says. In addition to individuals and families growing gardens, many groups have joined too, she adds. “It’s pretty big now,” says Bulleid. Every year, anyone interested in having a garden and those who had a garden the previous year have to apply for one, and the latter will get the same plot again unless they need a bigger one. “If a family grows, it can get a larger plot,” she says. This summer, the society brought in so much extra dirt, it created many new plots and every one was taken, she says. “If we run out of space, we will need another acre or two somewhere else,” says Bulleid. In future, the society would like to feed more people if it can get more land, she adds.
That includes teaching others how to garden or other details about gardening, she says. “Some volunteers gave so much of their time,” says Bulleid. “They’re getting up in their retire years but are so skilled in what they know.” This year, so many things were grown at the gardens, including an orchard and grapes. Another idea is to get more young people involved in gardening, including workshops and going into the schools and taking students out for a day at the garden. That would include building an area for kids so they could go play in a sandbox or on swings and still learn about gardening. An irrigation system was installed this year at the Evergreen location and nearly all of the garden plots are set up for the better water system, adds Bulleid. “I personally look after the flower beds there as well. I look after making the beds,” she says, adding that includes the irrigation system. A similar water system is planned in the budget for next year for the Apsley garden. People can apply for a garden plot anytime during the year and an updated application form is set to be finished for the annual general meeting in January with
information, regulations and guidelines, including companion gardening, which is details about what things should be planted next to each other. “There’s so many people out there willing to teach about that. It’s great,” says Bulleid, adding that includes details such as how to layer dirt to make more worms come to your plot. The community garden will “sleep” over the winter and early next year, the society will take a look at the greenhouse. Volunteers are always needed and wanted and if anyone wants to help with upgrades or donate soil or other items, the society would love it. “They can come out to the gardens and if they see people in there with shovels and rakes, they’re welcome to help out,” she says. Bulleid is working on pamphlets to put out at different places around town and those interested in joining the group or getting a garden plot application form can contact her, president Barb Tetz, show up at one of the monthly meetings or the annual general meeting. The gardens were part of the summer garden tour this year for the first time and plans are to be part of next year’s tour too. “People were amazed,” she said about reactions to the community garden.

Guns, Hoses back on ice
FIREFIGHTERS ARE shooting for victory at the fifth annual Guns and Hoses Hockey Game next month. “That’s the plan. Hopefully we’ll give a better show this year as we were missing a couple of guys last year,” said organizer firefighter Jeff Minhinnick about why firefighters lost last year. The game, a fundraiser for the local Jumpstart program that helps children who can’t afford to play sports get in the game, pits the Terrace RCMP (Guns) against the Terrace Firefighters (Hoses).And all the money raised goes to local children, said Minhinnick. For more details, see Fundraiser under City Scene below.

Innovative partnerships to strengthen and grow our Northwest communities. www.northsave.com
Terrace & District Chamber of Commerce If you watch the headlines, you might think that pipelines, LNG and mines are the bread and butter of B.C.’s business community. And in sheer dollars, you’re right: these projects are economic game changers, with the ability to inject huge sums of money into B.C.’s economy. But when it comes to actual employment numbers, there’s another sector writing more paycheques: the small business sector. Small businesses, defined as businesses with less than 50 employees, make up 98 per cent of businesses in B.C. and account for a full 56 per cent of private-sector employment in the province. And if 50 employees doesn’t sound “small” to you, dig a little deeper into the numbers and you’ll discover that a full 82 per cent of the small business count is made up of “micro” businesses, with fewer than five employees. These small and micro businesses are a critical complement to the bigger players in B.C.’s resource-based, export-oriented economy. It’s this diversity of players that makes our economy strong. And, like their larger counterparts, small businesses bring unique strengths to B.C. Small business owners add energy, drive, and entrepreneurial spirit to their communities. These entrepreneurs work tirelessly, determined to beat the sobering statistics about how many businesses fail. And if they do fail, more often than not, these entrepreneurs regroup, come up with a better idea, and try again. That’s a great spirit to have in British Co-
lumbia – a spirit of innovation, resourcefulness, and determination. It’s a spirit that helps our province dream big, bite off more than we can chew, and achieve more than we ever thought possible. And it’s a spirit that drives positive, tangible action in our communities. It’s a well-known fact that small businesses create critical jobs in communities. But if you attend local civic events, you might also know this: Small business owners are often some of a community’s most engaged citizens, bringing leadership, common sense and out-of-the-box thinking to community projects and goals. Not only do these entrepreneurs find time to build and beautify a community, but they’re often a voice of both reason and vision, challenging local politicians to spend sustainably, plan for the long term, and take bold, forwardthinking action to build a brighter future. In the Terrace region, all of our local small businesses have shown determination and smart business decisions as they have struggled through the past decades of cut backs, as they changed the face of their business to meet the needs of the ever changing economic times. The Terrace Chamber of Commerce applauds those business owners for being there for our community during the hard times & welcomes their continuing support as we move forward into the new era of doing business. So as B.C. celebrates Small Business Week (October 20 - 26), consider all the small businesses you count on for your everyday goods and services and take the time to celebrate that entrepreneurial spirit. Because without our small businesses, B.C. would be far the poorer.

SUCCESS AHEAD! MAP YOUR FUTURE GROWTH
FINANCING BUSINESS GROWTH WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE YOU GO TO THE BANK Say you’ve got a small business in need of a loan. You’re growing, and you’d like some extra money for an expansion project. Sales are going up, and you’re making a nice profit. Should be an easy sell to the bank, right? Not necessarily, especially if you don’t do your homework, says Pat Latour, Senior Vice President, Financing and Consulting, at the Business Development Bank of Canada (BDC). “If you’re going to expand, you’ve got to have a plan. If you don’t, you can jeopardize the rest of the business that is doing well,” he says. Many businesses walk into a bank’s office without the right planning—and then they’re surprised when their loan request is turned down. “Knowing the numbers is key. How will the expansion affect your profitability?” Latour asks. “Growing businesses need more working capital because they’re often supporting additional inventory and more staff. And it often takes a while for the expansion to increase profitability,” Latour explains. “On the other hand, an expansion can also lead to unexpectedly rapid revenue growth. Entrepreneurs should also plan for that scenario and be ready to use the extra revenue to aim even higher,” he says. How do you get your ducks in a row for a successful loan request? First, take time to work out your anticipated return on the investment, including not just the cost of the fixed asset, but also the way your business operations will change as you grow. Second, it’s vital to think about your timing when applying for a loan. Businesses often wait too long, Latour says. Instead, they use cash flow to finance major expansions or, even
worse, wait until they’re facing a cash crunch to see the bank. “One of the biggest reasons businesses fail or an expansion doesn’t succeed is a lack of working capital. It’s always easier to get financing beforehand than when you have a timing crunch,” he says. Latour advises fast-growing businesses to meet their banker every year to get a preapproved loan for capital expenditures, which they can draw on instead of tapping working capital. Such a credit facility also lets a business react more quickly to opportunities, since it doesn’t need to apply for a new loan each time it needs funds. Change to grow Sean Darrah learned some of these lessons at his fast-growing food services business, Pace Processing. Starting from a 1,500-square-foot space in 2001, it had grown to a 10,000-squarefoot location by 2007. But even that space was maxed out, and Darrah wanted to expand into a new, bigger building. He had always used working capital to finance his growth, but he now realized he needed a loan for the costly expansion. He was in for a surprise when he approached a bank and was initially turned down. Despite sales growth of 25% to 30% per year, he had been spending all his operating cash and writing off equipment every year. “It looked like we didn’t have many assets,” Darrah says, who then hired an accounting firm to help him demonstrate his company’s true value. The bank took another look and agreed to the loan, which allowed Pace to move into its own new 25,000-square-foot building in 2010. Darrah also got a line of credit for future capital spending. “What prevented us from taking the next step was always spending all our cash. It was really clear we needed to change to grow.”

SUCCESS AHEAD! MAP YOUR FUTURE GROWTH
WORKING THE WEB
In a few short years, the Internet has become indispensable for business. Today, a website is a vital tool for many companies. However, Canadian entrepreneurs lag in using the Internet to boost sales and reach customers. Only 40% of small businesses in Canada had a website in 2012, according to Statistics Canada. And even those with a website often don’t use it effectively. It means Canadian businesses are missing out on huge opportunities, says Michel Bergeron, Senior Vice President, Marketing and Public Affairs, at the Business Development Bank of Canada (BDC). “This is how customers find products and services today, when more than 50% of the purchasing decision process takes place online. A website is your digital storefront and lets you showcase your products 24 hours a day to a worldwide market.” An Internet presence is important even if your business isn’t planning to sell anything online, Bergeron explains. Your customers may still look for your website or social media page to check your opening hours, contact information and products. Start with a plan To get started, step back and create an online strategy for your website, Bergeron suggests. It doesn’t have to be fancy or incredibly detailed. The idea is to sit with key staff and hammer out your website’s goals, target audience and key messages. You don’t need to invest in a big, costly website at the outset, Bergeron says. Free and low-cost services such as WordPress and GoDaddy allow businesses to design and update a site quickly, with no programming knowhow. Social media pages also let companies promote themselves with no upfront cost. Make sure your site is aligned with your online strategy and tells visitors the essentials of your business—what your company does, what your main products are, and what makes you special. If you use one of the free or lowcost website design services, it’s easy and cheap to test different layouts, photos and text to see
what gets the best reaction from web visitors, he adds. “That’s why digital marketing is so powerful. It gives you great tools to measure, learn and optimize.” Website makeover George Tsopeis says a website makeover helped his employer, Zenith Jet, boost annual sales growth from single digits to double digits. Zenith Jet is a Canadian aviation services consulting company whose customers are almost all outside the country. They often get their first impression of the company from Zenith Jet’s website. But the company’s site was bland and dated. It was bogged down with too much text, but gave only sparse details about Zenith’s services. The company hired a website design firm to improve its site and then brought in a web consultant to help develop a strategy for getting more prospective clients to visit the site. The result: a new site with a clean, sharp look. Stunning aerial photos pull in visitors on every webpage and underline the fact that Zenith is in the airplane business. The redesign made it easier to quickly find information with a minimum of scrolling and clicking. Zenith’s contact details are prominently displayed on every webpage. Sprinkled throughout the new site are socalled keywords—terms that Google and other search engines use to rank sites in web searches. Zenith learned that choosing the right keywords is a science—and is critical in ensuring that a company’s site ranks high in web searches. The changes caused Zenith Jet’s site to shoot up exponentially in web search results—where it had gone virtually unseen— to the top of the first page. “Traffic to our site went up from double digits each day to triple digits,” Tsopeis says. Even more important, Zenith was finally drawing in the right visitors—ones likely to contact the company and become customers. “To say we hit a homerun is an understatement,” Tsopeis concludes.

Desired downtown discussed in survey
Theft from parked cars was also considered an issue by survey respondents. Some wrote that there isn’t enough parking, while others say there is “too much excellent space taken up by parking. We need a parkade and more bike locks, and bike friendly downtown!” The city’s best assets were listed as the Skeena Valley Farmers Market, the renovated Skeena Mall and the Grand Trunk Pacific Pathway, commonly known as the millennium trail. The abundance of trails in general, and gardens, was noted by several participants. Scenery and accessibility of stores and services was widely praised, though several participants called for extended business hours. On the mostdesired list is a cultural centre or museum, more live music, sidewalk vendors and buskers, more benches on the main shopping streets, handicap accessible stores and more things for teens to do. TDIA coordinator Dennis Lissimore said it is slowly working on these issues—promoting the good and trying to mend the bad. Recent initiatives to come out of a strategic meeting include promoting extended hours for business, as Lissimore said stores like Canadian Tire and Walmart are benefitting from night shoppers. To get local businesses into this night flow of consumers the society is promoting an event like the one held after American Thanksgiving, where stores have extended hours on the last weekend in November. Lissimore said issues of public safety related to drunken rowdiness downtown affect the willingness of business to stay open later. “You’re trying get women and children downtown in the evening, and if they don’t feel safe that’s a big problem,” he said. TDIA receives $60,000 a year for operations paid for by a city fee taken from 251 properties in the downtown area.

First Nations have LNG role KITSUMKALUM FIRST Nation member and CFNR radio sales manager Ron Bartlett told city council at the regular meeting last night that Kitsumkalum and all aboriginal groups hold an important place in negotiations surrounding the proposed liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminals in the area. Bartlett had attended the First Nations Liquid Natural Gas (LNG) Summit October 9-10 in Prince George, and said that it showed the beginning of a strong unified voice of First Nations who are at the front lines of negotiations that will affect how major projects roll out. “First Nations are really the ones right now that are leading the process in consulting,” said Bartlett. The Prince George summit brought together First Nations from upstream areas, where the extraction of natural gas is happening with other groups who inhabit midstream locations like Terrace, and downstream locations such as Prince Rupert and Kitimat where the gas will be cooled and then shipped to Asia. Bartlett said that the ambassador of Japan held a special in-camera meeting with First Nations chiefs and administration at the summit and that both federal and provincial ministers attended, who highlighted the importance of getting First Nations on the same page with regards to development. Bartlett said 26 out of 40 First Nations signed an agreement to work together in support of proposed LNG projects and that the summit allowed First Nations to voice concerns unique to their area while establishing a shared set of concerns. In the upstream communities around Fort Nelson, Bartlett said First Nations have had to deal with the contamination of drinking water from extraction and the fragmentation of trapping areas, while in downstream locations salmon the Kitsumkalum and other bands
Ron Bartlett rely on for industry and sustenance will be greatly affected by development on the coast. “The decisions are made from up high. The First Nations are some of the ones that can hold their feet to the fire to make sure there is the least environmental impact, and that they create the best economy for the local folk and keep the most benefit staying here,” said Bartlett “We never lived here in the winter,” Bartlett said of the Kitsumkalum people’s relationship to the Terrace area. “We migrated down to the coast in the winter. Where the LNG terminal is being proposed in Port Edward is Kitsumkalum territory. Because of that we are being included in the consultation process for the coast.” “Our people are commercial fishermen, and they live with the food source of salmon, so food security is a big issue for us.” Bartlett said the overall message of the summit in Prince George was “Don’t get off the bus, you will get run over.” By supporting the plans, First Nations “get an opportunity to have some control of the process, work with them, get a better deal.” Bartlett added that some First Nations at the summit were dead set against LNG development and are willing to hold out until it becomes “an OPEC issue”, a scenario which Bartlett said “we don’t even want to go there.” Councillor Marylin Davies said that Terrace should listen to what the First Nations are doing in these ongoing negotiations to ensure sure common goals are

Mayor David Pernarowski praised Bartlett for an effective presentation and said the summit in Prince George was important as the region moves toward an LNG industry.

City sells piece of land THE city announced recently it plans to sell a small piece of Blakeburn St. to Bandstra Transportation Systems Ltd. for $26,000. The company has property on both sides of the section of Blakeburn to be sold so the purchase will better connect its holdings, said Bandstra manager Sid Bandstra. Blakeburn runs north of its intersection with Keith Ave. on the southside and the second in question is at the north end of Blakeburn, adjacent to CN’s rail tracks. It will probably be used for storage or parking.
“I think at some previous day and age [the city] had left that open in case they wanted to put a road in there,” said Bandstra. “But it would need an underpass to go under the tracks or an overpass,” said Bandstra in adding the section has little other use now. It’s a strip of land 15 feet wide and 200 feet long. Trade ad drafts.indd 2

(250) 638-7283
Ski club set for packed season By ANNA KILLEN WHILE SOME of us may still be lamenting the end of summer, for many here in Terrace the advent of fall means one glorious thing – ski season is almost here. And over at the Shames Mountain Ski and Snowboard Club there’s no shortage of preparations taking place to get the team ready for the winter season and get the club’s young athletes geared up. The club, which has been around since 1991, has three programs – the Mini Rippers, formerly known as “Nancy Greene” or “Husky Snowstars”, a half-day program for skiers ages five to seven and snowboarders ages seven to 10; the Shames Mountain Riders, a one-day program for skiers and snowboarders ages nine to 16; and the Northwest Freeriders, a twoday competitive program for riders 10 to 18. The club is for kids who already have basic ski skills down – the mountain offers learn-to-ski programs over the winter break to get kids up to speed – and kids usually work their way through the program for seven to 10 years. “They’re going to have a busy year,” said the club’s Angie Healey of the upcoming season, noting a trip to the BC Winter Games in Mission and a handful of local events here at Shames, in Smithers, and in Kitimat. “We’re helping out with the Kitimat rail jam this year, which has been a pretty successful event.”

TEAM MEMBERS of the Shames Mountain Ski and Snowboard Club carve their way down the mountain. The club is gearing up for a busy season.
As for the programs themselves, coaches don’t focus on one specific thing, said coach Chance Healey. “Most of our time is actually spent skiing, very seldomly do we stop and do specific drills ... We do a big push on ski anything, at any time,” he said. “With coaching, what you’re trying to do is watch the kids ski as much as possible and catch bad habits before they become actual habits.”
Those include inappropriate body positions, favouring one leg over the other, and movements that are going to make them weaker skiers in the long run. These vary athlete to athlete and require different methods of teaching. “Instead of saying this is the only way, we try finding multiple paths,” he said. “A good coach can cater to 40 different kinds of skiers and everyone at the end will still
be a stronger skier ... With coaching, you can take an average Joe and they will end up the next world champion.” The club also focuses on dryland training using trampolines, pairing with the Terrace Peaks Gymnastics Club to offer weekly drop-in sessions every Wednesday – which anyone can attend, not just members of the club. The club will be at various loca-
tions around town until registration closes on Dec. 7 to answer questions and sign athletes up. They’ll be at Ruins this Saturday afternoon, and the Ski Swap Nov. 8 and 9. See the group’s Facebook page for more dates and locations. And there will be a movie fundraiser Nov. 15 at the REM Lee Theatre, showing “McConkey” – a documentary about the life of ski base jumper Shane McConkey.

TERRACE MINOR Hockey’s flagship tournament, the third annual Cliff Sharples Memorial Peewee tournament is on this weekend, with six teams from the northwest competing for the top spot. Last year’s champions, Dawson Creek, won’t be returning this year, giving the Terrace Kermode Pizza Hut Peewee Reps an even better shot at the title. The team’s prospects are looking good this year, said team manager Kevin Marleau. “We’ve got a pretty keen bunch,” he said. “They’re all hardworkers and big on hockey. We feel pretty confident with the team we’ve got this year, we think they can do some special things.” The tournament was founded in honour of Cliff Sharples, who was involved in Terrace Minor Hockey in a big way from the 1970’s to the 1990’s. He’s best remembered as the head coach of a group of players who won the AAA BC Provincial Championships on three sepa-
rate occasions and sent two players to the NHL. Terrace’s Mario Desjardins, a big supporter of minor hockey over the years who just recently took a position in Prince George, was also on that team. “Pretty incredible, what Cliff did with that group of players back then,” Marleau said. “It’s a big tournament for us. He was kind of legendary, so that’s a big part of it and something we try to get across to the kids. We’re honoured to play in the tournament and to host it.” And while what Cliff did is “almost inconceivable” nowadays, the players on this Peewee rep team have potential. “We’ve got a really good group of kids,” he said, noting that this group played together in Atom development and won a Tier 2 tournament in Richmond. “There’s been sort of a feeling throughout the years that this particular group could go somewhere, so this is sort of their first kick of the can this year in rep hockey together.”

Sr. boys get gold in PG THE CALEDONIA Senior Boys volleyball team saw success in Prince George over Thanksgiving weekend – taking first place in the College Heights John Bragg Memorial Invitational. The team was in a pool with Duchess Park teams 1 and 2, and the College Heights junior team. On Friday night they played Duchess Park 2, beating them in two straight sets. Following that game they faced Duchess Park 1, who came into the tournament ranked #7 in the province for AA boys, and finished last season as the silver medal winner at provincials. Caledonia lost a very close first set 25 – 23, but rallied to win the second set 25 – 20 and the third 15 – 12, marking the first victory over Duchess Park in recent memory. Saturday morning the team faced the College Heights junior team, with coach Rich Clair deciding to get the bench players floor time. The result was a 22-25 loss in the first set, but once the starters re-entered the match, the boys quickly took control, winning the second set 25 – 12 and the third 15 – 8. This win set up a quarter final match against the Duchess Park juniors. And after winning that match in straight sets they faced off in a semi-final against the host, College Heights, who were ranked #10 in the province in AA boys. The team lost a really close set in the opener, 26 – 24, but once again rallied to win the second set 25 – 23, and the third 16 – 14 to advance to the final.

THIS YEAR’S Caledonia Sr. Boys volleyball team, fresh off their win at the College Heights John Bragg Memorial Invitational over Thanksgiving weekend. The final match saw them up against DP Todd, ranked at #9 in the province, and considered the strongest PG team that weekend. The final was a back and forth battle with neither team being able to open up a big spread. Caledonia won the first set 25 – 22, and lost a close second set to set up the third and final set. Once again, Caledonia
t was October. It felt like December absent snow. An Arctic wind with a knife’s edge blew downriver incessantly. The sky was as blue as blue gets. Steam rising from the river told us the water was warmer than the air. We slept in fits and starts in Art’s aged camper, rocking in the gusts, the furnace on full, and the wind whining through the cracks. The first morning, Bob and I drank coffee as Art waded far out into the steaming river at the Y Pool with his 18-foot Bruce & Walker and bravely tossed black General Practitioners into the river. I was taken by the backdrop. A big river, larger than the Skeena, framed by treeless cliffs, off white but grey where the shadows lay, immense shelves of sculpted chalk. Art came in cold and fishless, which is rare. We ate bacon and eggs, drank more coffee then drove downriver to the Grave Yard where we watched a parade of unsuccessful anglers walk to the river and back through a field of blue sage. Art had had enough. Bob wasn’t eager to brave the subzero temperatures. I grabbed my fly rod with gloved hands and made my way down to the river. I had come a long way. I fished hard, eager to catch a Thompson River steelhead and eager to maintain a pace that would keep me warm. It felt like winter. I responded with winter gear – a fast sinking line and orange fly. I found myself fishing behind a trio of
opened up a small lead, but the play and scoring went back and forth. Caledonia was able to close out the third set 15 – 13 to win the tournament. Keel Haldane was an all-star for the Kermodes, racking up many kills on the weekend and with most teams struggling to contain his hitting. Kai Davies was also given an all-star for his strong hitting and overall play.
Coach Clair commended all his players for their strong team play and mental toughness, finding ways to win close games and showing growing confidence and composure throughout the tournament. The team is hitting the road again tomorrow, Oct. 24, to attend a large tournament at Thompson Rivers University in Kamloops.

AS THE temperature begins to drop, the minds of many in the Northwest turn to the slopes, and My Mountain Co-op is preparing to welcome skiers and snowboarders back with open arms. Snow is beginning to accumulate on mountains along the Skeena River already and management is aiming for an early December opening day. Regardless of when the mountain opens, My Mountain Co-op had a busy summer on the slopes. The deck at the lodge has been replaced and the lodge was given a facelift with the help of members, who volunteered approximately 600 hours of labour to the projects. "MMC members provided a huge boost to what the co-op was able to accomplish this summer," said Shames general manager Christian Theberge. But the board doesn't plan to stop there. They made a presentation regarding the creation of a Master Plan for further development of the Shames Mountain ski area and town hall-style meetings are planned for the coming months in order to engage members on what they want to see in the future of Shames. My Mountain Co-op will also be starting the year in a positive position both financially and in terms of membership. The last fiscal year ended with a net profit of $55,000, and there are currently more than 1,000 members, with strong support from individuals and corporations continuing. "The strength of the co-operative lies in its members," said board member Meredith Skimson. My Mountain Co-op officially took ownership of the Shames Mountain Ski Area in January 2013 after taking over operations in the 2011/2012 ski season.
over my boot footed waders. More than anything, I wanted to see the fish capable of such explosive behaviour in such cold climes, but it was not to be. I reached the end of the run and waded as far as I could below that without risking drowning, and as the fish was still running downstream I tightened. The hook came free. You had a fish, said Bob. I had two, I said in reply. I said to Art that you had to have hooked something to be out so long, he said. They fight so hard, I said. So goddamn hard. That night we stopped by Acacia Grove and said hello to Gerry Wintle and Jeannie. Fishing had been tough because of the cold, said Gerry. And it would have been for a man fishing an 8 weight Orvis bamboo rod and a floating line. There was no point in telling him I’d contacted a pair using a 15-foot rod and a big hot orange winter fly. From there we made our way to the Log Cabin Inn where we sat down with Ric Olmstead, king of the bait fishermen. Ric was a long way into a bottle of Scotch. No fish for days, he said. Rob hooked two on the Grave Yard today, said Bob. Ric’s eyes narrowed as if this was something he didn’t want to hear. Next week: Trouble on the Thompson

Weather kiboshes minister’s visit BAD WEATHER last week conspired to keep provincial finance minister Mike de Jong from visiting the region. He had planned to fly into Terrace from Kelowna via Prince George Oct. 17 but bad weather in Prince George first delayed a departure time and then resulted in de Jong returning to Vancouver. He then attempted to fly out of Vancouver but foggy weather not only delayed take off but when his plane did fly north, it was diverted to Prince Rupert because of fog at the airport here. That resulted in the cancellation of a number of appointments, including a two-hour reception to be hosted by the Terrace and District Chamber of Commerce the afternoon of Oct. 18. Also delayed, rescheduled and then finally scrubbed altogether was a public event to promote the announcement of improved cell service between Terrace and Prince George. A search and rescue truck, fire truck, ambulance, police vehicle and Telus vehicle were lined up side by side in front of the fire hall in anticipation of de Jong’s visit. Firefighters, ambulance personnel, a police officer, search and rescue officials and others were in attendance. “It’s very unfortunate and the minister apologizes,” said finance ministry official Glen Plummer. There are no immediate plans to reschedule a visit by de Jong. Had he been able to land, de Jong would have been just the second provincial finance minister since 2008 to visit the northwest. He had planned to take in comments leading to next year’s provincial budget. Meetings are being held across the province leading up to the next budget. Plummer said that would now most likely happen by having de Jong conduct a telephone town hall. Speaking by telephone Oct. 17 when de Jong was still hopeful of getting to the northwest, he said he was looking forward to his visit. “It’s important to
look at what’s going on in planning for future growth,” said de Jong of the northwest which is anticipating a boom from the development of a liquefied natural gas industry.
De Jong also provided a provincial budget update, saying latest spending and revenue information indicates the province has a surplus of $136 million. “To me $136 million
is a lot of money and on a budget of $44 billion, it’s razor thin,” said de Jong. “But we are tracking spending and we have an excellent track record for expenditure
control,” he added. “But there are certain aspects we can’t control,” he said. “For instance, if we have a bad fire year. This year was not the worst but it did cost.”
De Jong said BC has “turned the financial corner” and has retained it Triple A credit rating, a factor that reduces its borrowing cost and, ultimately, impact on the taxpayer.

COWBOY JADEN Vance, and friend, were just two of those who embraced the spirit of the annual zombie walk in Terrace Oct. 12 by dressing up appropriately for the occasion.
TELUS IS spending $450,000 to bring cellular service to 14 kilometres of Hwy16 between Prince Rupert and Terrace, part of a massive 10-year contract the company has to provide telecommunications services to the province and its agencies. The section to be covered is 60 kilometres east of Prince Rupert and should be live in weeks, a company press release indicated Friday, Oct. 18. Telus won the bid for the contract to provide a variety of services to the province in 2011 following three years of negotiations. “It’s very challenging terrain we’re dealing with, which is why the investment is so significant,” said Telus official Liz Sauve of the money being spent. Bell customers who “roam” on the Telus service will also have full access along that stretch of highway. But Rogers customers won’t except in case of an emergency, said Sauve. “And that is our main
