Overpass discussion continues By JOSH MASSEY

MARGARET SPEIRS PHOTO

■■ Beware GHOSTS, GOBLINS and all sorts of scary creatures on the front lawn of Larry Houlden’s home on McConnell Ave. are ready to scare trick-or-treaters, including these carnivorous pumpkins.

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 negotiates for the ever elusive second overpass in Terrace. Recent discussion of rail transport for oil sands product have centred around the terms of reference of a high level government working group aimed at opening new energy export opportunities, 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 Pernarowski. “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 oilby-rail].

District bites back at dog owner By 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 employees 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 employees including administrator Bob Marcellin, “deny that they breached any duty of care, statutory or otherwise...deny that the claimant (dog owner) has suffered any loss, damage or expense, as alleged or at all, and put the claimant 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 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. On Sept. 26, MacNeil filed a notice of claim to recover some of his legal costs, naming the regional district and several of its employees in seeking $25,000 spent in successfully preventing the regional 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 Marcellin said MacNeil was entitled to compensation but there was no followup and a promised written report on the whole matter was never provided. It alleges that when the dog was released from the shelter he was disoriented, having trouble standing 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 claimant 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 regional district might made amends for the sedation of the dog on that day.” It ends by saying the defendants were asking that the civil suit “be dismissed with costs.”

Cullen to discuss LNG impacts here SKEENA-BULKLEY VALLEY NDP MP Nathan Cullen will be hosting a series of events across the northwest this fall to discuss the potential impacts of liquefied natural gas (LNG) development in the region. “Across the Northwest, people are hearing about LNG, but as a new industry we don’t necessarily know all that much about it. Our goal is to bring those individual conversations under one roof, and bring people the best information possible,” reads a press release sent out Friday, Oct. 25. “We’re experiencing 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 development 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 release.

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

and environmental organizations, and other community partners for presentations and discussions, 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 moderate the discussions. Possible questions to be considered include:

What kinds of opportunities will LNG bring to the local economy and workforce? What kinds of environmental 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, Kitimat, 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 deal to make you jump for joy.

Masked robber arrested

A WOMAN faces charges after being arrested for allegedly robbing a woman at a local ATM last week. Shaunna Burns, 35, has been charged with robbery and disguise face with intent to commit an indictable offence, reported Terrace RCMP Oct. 24. At 8 a.m. Oct. 21, a 50-year-old woman 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 assisted police in obtaining video footage that showed the thief wearing a mask during the robbery, said police. Later that evening, police arrested a woman on an outstanding warrant out of Alberta for aggravated assault, possession of weapon dangerous to the public, and failing to attend court. Investigation led police to arrest this woman for the robbery. Burns was released October 23 on an undertaking to appear in court on November 19 here.

‘We haven’t let our foot off the pedal’ “What we are talking to them about is the port expansion, the development of the Ridley terminal, road and rail and utility expansion. That's going to increase train traffic just for containers out of the Prince Rupert port,” he said. Pernarowski also said that Terrace city council would most likely not lend its support for oil transportation to the coast in the first place. “I think the discussion about moving oilby-rail is one that council hasn't had, but I just don't see there being too much difference in terms of the reasons for the opposition to piping oil, for example,” he said. “Council has talked quite a bit about the dangers that would pose on the environment. 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 continued. “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 conjunction 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 provincial ministers regarding the improvement of traffic flow in the Terrace area. “We specifically 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 officer 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 analysis 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.

Local 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–despite being fiercely opposed to the Enbridge Northern Gateway Project–are determined to address the chronic issues of poverty in their communities. Other First Nations have refused permission for any type of pipeline to cross their lands. Some folks don’t want Terrace transformed into a Fort McMurray, while others are simply trying to get by and welcome the economic boom we are in. Most in the Northwest understand that successful major resource development is never as easy as a press release by a prime minister, premier or cabinet minister. While our region has witnessed dozens of developments proposed and subsequently abandoned over the decades, we’ve never faced a push for major resource development quite so complex and challenging to understand as LNG. In fact, there are so many proposed projects that it’s impossible to keep track–it is overwhelming and difficult to fully understand their merits and impacts. It was easy to see that coal bed methane development in the headwaters of three major 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 overwhelming 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 nosedived, are all too recent memories. It’s hard to appreciate the river, mountains and salmon when you’re worried about taking care of your family.

GOV. FILE PHOTO

PREMIER CHRISTY Clark examines a Korean Gas Corporation LNG terminal model at a meeting in 2012.

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 opponents, are troubled about the sheer pace and scale of what is being proposed. There are serious questions about air quality, greenhouse gasses, increases in tanker traffic, First Nation’s rights and title issues, and social issues that haven’t been answered. Local health care experts, legal professionals and frontline workers are already worried about rapidly increasing social problems associated with the present boom. We’re starting to understand that boom times bring drugs, violence (usually against women) and crime. And when asking these questions, who do you believe, those that seem to be against any development, or the multinational energy companies whose purpose is to generate even more billions of dollars in profits?

As welcome as the present 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 isolation of each other, and that these considerations have to extend beyond just the environmental risks. We need to talk about how much development is enough. What’s going to happen to the air we breathe? Are there consequences for wild salmon and water quality? How much natural gas do we want to leave for future generations in B.C.? What about fracking? What are the climate change impacts and where do our responsibilities lie? Is it really 100,000 jobs? Who gets those jobs? Do we really want to live in Fort McTerrace? And most importantly, who gets to choose what kind of community we live in, the Chamber of Commerce, Malaysia’s state owned gas company or the people who live here? To that end, residents

of this region will be asking these questions over the coming months. We don’t presume to know all the answers 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 presenting 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 beyond just money. Politicians and industry have not presented 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 responsibility. Signed on behalf of Friends of Wild Salmon by Gerald Amos, Kitamaat; Greg Knox, Terrace; Des Nobles, Prince Rupert.

EDITORIAL

Smell roses The recent survey by the Terrace Downtown Improvement Area (TDIA) shows us both the benefits and limitations of this kind of study. On one hand, it isolated certain aspects of Terrace which need improvement 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 reiteration of past woe, a list of gripes that are already well on their way to being solved. Consider the successful rehabilitation of walls made ugly by bad graffiti over the summer accomplished by TDIA itself, and the addition of beautiful pieces of public art, including 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 recent 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 several years. Or the tireless – and at times thankless – 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. ESTABLISHED APRIL 27, 1988

Not all bus rides are sweet, she says

et me tell you how I recall school bus drivers, at least a particular driver my oldest daughter rode with during her first 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 ended at Thornhill Primary. For the first 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 stomach cramped at the thought of another 10 months of being 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 viral. But unlike the New York monitor’s case, where school and police investigated and

CLAUDETTE SANDECKI 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 arrived at our driveway, was a Twinkie/Ding Dong munching hulk who amused himself 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 welfare 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 driveway to await the lights coming around the nearest bend. One fall morning, after a session of her tearful complaints, 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 morning when our driveway was so icy I could scarcely stand up. “Why,” I asked myself, “would any sane mother relinquish her seven-year-old to a driver who clearly has no control over his passengers 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 correspondence 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, chickens, geese, pigs and sheep. At bedtime, I read eight to 10 library books to them. During camping season, they came along as I registered campers, emptied garbage, mowed lawns, scrubbed washrooms, and answered campers questions about fishing and hiking in the area. They played games with campers’ kids, kibitzed with seniors around their campfires. When we moved to Thornhill in the spring of 1975, both girls performed at their Grade 4 and 3 level, had no classroom catchingup to do. And they no longer rode a school bus with the hulk or an oblivious driver.

The Mail Bag What about the sidewalks? Dear Sir: Lengthening the Millennium Trail is a pretty project, but shoddy city sidewalks also need attention. Example: the never redone dig-up of crumbling Munroe between Park and Lazelle, a drainage ditch after precipitation; the walk up from Thomas to Mountain Vista, which after 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 bottom 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 everingratiating Enbridge and new man Donny van Dyk to lather up extra greenwash. JOSH MASSEY PHOTO David Heinimann Terrace, B.C. 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 domestic use. The National Energy Board reports: natural gas pipelines of smaller diameter, but of similar length, experience one operational leak annually, and one catastrophic 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 temporarily dam and divert many salmon bearing streams. Spectra Energy has stated there would be no construction 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 average 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. Marnie Pole Kispiox Valley, B.C.

It can be a green world after all

he idea that we see what we look for is an easily demonstrable proposition. Ask people to spend one minute 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 expressions 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 climate research, scientists keep pronouncing sterner warnings for an apocalyptic future. Their latest

report was published only recently by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. If one bypasses the usual vitriolic commentary exchanged on blogs and news source comment 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 explanations of how these people compiled the report, and what evidence supports their conclusions. Key findings include: Warming is unequivocal. Changes are unprecedented. 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 centuries, even if emissions of CO2 are stopped.

GUEST COMMENT

AL LEHMANN “Science” purchased by carbon-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 reason, huge numbers of the public ignore this logic in the climate “debate.” One could become very depressed. Lots of brown is on the horizon. One sometimes imagines few among us care much about the climate change issue. However, this depressing assumption is demonstrably false if one examines the way that business is beginning to react, way ahead of the average citizen. Responsible business leaders understand only too well that climate change poses enormous risks to their (and our) ongoing success. Www.environmentalleader.com posts articles, day after day, outlining corporate actions 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 according 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 impacting cotton production by creating 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) argues that transition to a low carbon 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 annually. The carbon lobby may own many of our politicians and media outlets, but increasingly, business understands what is at stake: a livable and profitable future. Examine the evidence. There’s lots of brown out there. But let’s look for the green, too, and perhaps colour a few things that way. Al Lehmann is a retired English teacher living in Terrace, BC.

Survey work was okay Dear Sir: I was concerned by statements made in your Oct. 23 paper (Lack of permits for pipeline survey is troubling, A7) suggesting 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 requirements of this Act. The BC Oil and Gas Commission has conducted inspections on the activities in the Kispiox area, as has the Ministry of Forests, Lands, and Natural Resource Operations. These inspections showed no contravention

from those activities authorized under legislation. If anyone has concerns about the activities related to the surveying, 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 friendly Dear Sir: I do not know Skeena Angler Rob Brown's character "Bill" in his column First class fishing, in the Oct. 9 edition of The Terrace Standard. Mr. Brown's "Bill" is a foreign angler, just like myself, and Mr. Brown's column presents unfounded observations. I don't know if Mr. Brown was making a cut at me because I have countered his commentary in the past. If that is his attempt, more wrong about me he could not be and I would like to counter his mythical demonization of "Bill." I can sum up Mr. Brown's fantasy of Bill's fishing financial feasibility study with one word – Alaska. Also know that Canadians enjoy unfettered access to Florida and Texas gulf coast habitat to hugely greater numbers 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 countrymen suffer is only because my depressionera 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 accordingly. I have always worked in private enterprise and never within

government organizations. I'll not stoop to judge the source of Mr. Brown's compensation(s), pension 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 desire. If foreign anglers were not in his way, local gear fishermen would be. In time each will be sidelined and demonized 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 himself 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 community. Other foreign anglers were involved as well. This was time that could have been spent fishing but I felt the immediate needs of their family and the Terrace community trumped fishing without consideration. 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 demeanor is. Mr. Brown, you are only segregating yourself from future riverside friendships that will never be enjoyed. May I suggest that you reconsider this to be the reason that you go fishing? Maybe you will find more enjoyment and catch more fish too? Steelhead can sense tension on the line. Jim Benson San Carlos, California

Wrecked bench breaks local woman’s heart

E V A S Y

IN AN

N O S A SE

By MARGARET SPEIRS

HEARTBROKEN. That's how Vera Hancock describes her feelings about the damage 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 stairwell 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 fixed 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 installed 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 improved incredibly,” she said. They put up several bird feeders too and one is missing.

MARGARET SPEIRS PHOTO

VERA AND Allan Hancock in their Terrace backyard, Oct. 25.

Little lights strung on the railings of the stairs for nighttime were stolen too, she said. “When we're home, we're outside a lot,” said Vera. “I'm always out. I like to keep him moving.” The couple was living in Fort McMurray

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

truck and drove to Terrace to their new place. They had visited Terrace to fish 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.

Fog delays travellers FOG THICKER than seen in at least 12 years delayed several flights at the airport last week. From Oct. 18 to 21, Air Canada cancelled five flights and diverted three. Hawkair cancelled nine and diverted one flight, which includes the new Central Mountain Airlines flights to Calgary, which are run by Hawkair, said Kitimat-Terrace regional airport manager Carman 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 flights weren't all due to the weather in Terrace as the fog in Vancouver also affected many flights. “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

What’s that in the sky? AT LEAST one person reported a fireball 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 outside 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 confirmed Smith's sighting, saying she and her husband saw the same thing.

two around the beginning 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 Vancouver need to have an alternate airport which can be Penticton or Fort St. John, which did result 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

A planned trip with various stops across the northwest for provincial finance minister Mike deJong earlier this month was kiboshed because of the weather. But the fog was expected to lift over the weekend, with Environment Canada issuing a statement Friday that a cold front would move the fog away from the coast.

KSM PROJECT UPDATE Seabridge Gold (Seabridge) has been busy over the last few months working on the KSM Project, which is located 65 kilometers northwest of Stewart, British Columbia. Here’s an overview of what the company’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 notiﬁcation 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 ﬁve years and almost $146 million to get to this point, and they aren’t done yet. The KSM Project is approximately onethird of the way through the EA review and the company hopes to have a government decision in 2014.

KSM drillers set out to find higher grade copper 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 significantly less drilling to reach its target zone. This is the first 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 Office Seabridge is opening a KSM Project office in Dease Lake, BC. Stay tuned for more information.

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 extensive drill program, with up to six drills working 24 hours per day and up to 50 people staying at the camp.

Welcome to the driver’s seat

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. Keith Morgan

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

KEITH MORGAN

The future is electric AMSTERDAM – 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 manufacturer 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 instant 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 technology-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 advertised 160 kilometres range on a full

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 attention on the road. The seats are comfortable 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.

2014 Mazda3 Technology, behind the Mazda CX-5 SUV and Mazda6 sedan. Looks k 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 k 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.

CLIP THESE COUPONS FOR GREAT WINTER SAVINGS

FALL SAVE UP TO $200 EVENT October 14 - January 19, 2013

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-developed 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 approach. By engineering vehicles from a blank sheet of paper, Mazda could focus 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

Drive k 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 available 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 k The standard features list is strong, including keyless entry, push button start, Bluetooth 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 class. zack@motormouth.ca

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.”

People first, says councillor By JOSH MASSEY A RECENT letter sent to the city calling for the McLaren family to be first in line for future street naming has caused councillor Lynne Christiansen to renew her call to name streets after people and not trees and inanimate objects. “I have been pretty adamant that we should stick to naming our streets after people. It’s the more difficult thing to do because it’s easier to just pick a name of a tree, but when it comes to naming people, there is controversy 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 Christiansen to bring up the issue at the October 15 regular council meeting. “I have sent several letters,” wrote O’Brien to the city staff. “Needless to say, I was (am) very frustrated

GOLDEN PLACE, off Halliwell, was named in 2007.

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 ongoing 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 forward and keep it on file. That’s an honour in itself,” said Christiansen.

Since 2007, four new roads that were christened with names divided 50/50 between human and nonhuman names. In 2007, the nonhuman name Golden Place was bestowed upon a cul-de-sac off of Halliwell Ave. Then in 2008, the pendulum swung back to human, with Smith Ave. on the bench named after Terrace pioneer Fred Smith, who operated a store here after the Second World

War. Council followed this up with another personname designation in 2009 for Hallock Place, after the colourful city councillor Ruth Hallock. However, the pendulum swung back to the inanimate 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 McLaren family name, whose members have lived here for nearly 100 years. Christiansen said she thinks this name would be a good choice considering how they are a highly regarded family by legacy families in the area. “Let’s hang on to the pioneer name,” said Christiansen. The long-standing councillor also put out a call earlier this year to have the name Sockeye Creek returned to its original name Eliza Creek after the Kitselas sister of chief Walter Wright and husband of early pioneer Tom Thornhill.

City hall renos continue

SOUNDS OF drilling and hammering echoed through city hall this past summer as a long-term program to spruce up the appearance and efficiency of two key municipal buildings progressed. “The works have improved the appearance of the building, but the primary focus has been on maximizing energy savings and improving systems function,” said director of public works Rob Schibli. “About eight years ago, we completed a full assessment of city hall and the fire station,” continued Schibli. “The assessment indicated it would be more cost effective 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, insulation 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, insulation and exterior to the west wall costing $120,000; $15,000 of lighting upgrades in 2012 done under a BC Hydro Power Smart program; New HVAC air handler systems and electrical upgrades 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 significantly improve the look of this most visible side of city hall. New hot water pipe upgrades are slated to happen in 2014 and 2015, with a new heating boiler unit installed possibly in 2015. A concept plan for front entrance improvements is set to be undertaken in 2014, with emergency generator upgrades and parking lot restoration also on the list, albeit without a set date.

Birthplace of the truly green machines 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 production of the impressive five-seater BMW i3, test driven today in Driveway. The i3 models now roll silently off the production 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 manufacturer’s projects for which the environmental sustainability objectives were determinedly set at the same high standards 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 associated 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 replacement 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-series back on the road after a similar crash.

Going back in time

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 instead 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 countries, people view time in different ways. For example, in Germany, punctuality is very important – being late for an appointment is the height of rudeness and may even earn you a rebuke from your host. However, in Brazil, time is often ignored and people sometimes run hours late for meetings, doctor appointments and even college classes. With files from A Geography of Time by Robert Levine.

BC Gov’t minister visits grant recipient

MARGARET SPEIRS PHOTO

DEANNA FREEMAN shows Don McRae, minister of social development and social innovation, her stuffed dogs in her renovated living room.

Showing the beauty NO MATTER how long you’ve lived in the northwest, you never get tired of its beauty. For relative newcomer Brandon Broderick, a self-taught photographer, it’s a never-ending tableau rich with colour, landscapes and wildlife to document in pictures. And now everyone can enjoy 64 pages of his photos 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 after 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 neighbours 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 different way. Skeena II is on sale at Misty River Books.

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 responsible in person. Deanna Freeman handed a thank-you card personally to Don McRae, minister of social development 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 completion 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 improvements and heard from her parents, Louise and Robin, 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 nominations at Safeway, which has won the award twice. The WOW awards recognize community leaders who promote inclusion for adults with developmental disabilities and are put on by Community Living BC. B.C. residents can nominate individuals or organizations, employers, service providers, selfadvocates 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.

Woman ‘humbled’ by generosity

CONTRIBUTED PHOTO

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

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 everyone 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 provides a comfort that I cannot begin to describe. “I am humbled at the generosity and support you provide me and my children. “What a blessing! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your generosity and support!”

’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 Terrace, 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 adventures!). And I’ve gone on some very fun gallivants—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, particularly London. And guess what? The day has arrived. 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 kidding? 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

JUST A THOUGHT

EV BISHOP

Today is my day... I’m off and away! 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 Trafalgar 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, somewhere. 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 Potteresque robes for the journey. Day 7 - The Tower of London and St. Paul’s Cathedral. Day 8 - Hyde Park and explore Notting Hill area. Day 9 - Our chauffeur (a.k.a. my friend’s hubby) will deliver us to Stonehenge, 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!!!! Eeieieieieieieieeieieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!! Day 11 – Up in the air . . . again, literally. I don’t fly out until afternoon, so I may sneak in a little something else. I have a brand new sketchbook journal 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.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN • 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 reflective tape so drivers can see you, and use a flashlight. • 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 finish 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.

James David Hall It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of James David Hall. Born in Toronto Ontario 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 Bobâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 1980â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where Jim obtained employment in the publishing industry. Jim was very active in the RCAC 747 Squadron where he became an Officer 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.

Taekwondo champs return ATLANTIS TAEKWONDO’S athletes are back from worlds with medals around their necks. Eight club members travelled to Edmonton to compete in the International ChangHon Taekwon-do Federation 10th Anniversary World Cup, held Oct. 18 and 19 in Edmonton, Alberta. The tournament saw 650 competitors compete, with eight rings going at all times. “The tournament was amazing,” said Atlantis Taekwondo 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 patterns; Jimmy Nijar received silver in sparring; Aquilies Downs took silver in sparring; Malcom Neifer took silver in sparring; Barbra Bond received silver in sparring;

and Carla Seaton took silver in sparring and bronze in patterns. 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, joking 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.

Cal boys win soccer zones THE CALEDONIA Kermodes senior 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 tournament, 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 regards to playing the Rupert game thinking that we had a legitimate

chance,” said coach Mike Denomme. “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 tournament, 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 overall 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 couple 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 – scoring 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 Burnaby in November, with fundraising efforts for the trip currently being organized.

River Kings vs. Ice Demons Friday CONTRIBUTED PHOTO

■■ Look up THE TERRACE Mountain bike trail is a touch steadier now, thanks to 5,000 pounds of gravel long-lined by helicopter 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 Redimix loaned the bags for slinging.

THE 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 Kitimat, the Kings head out on the road. They’ll head to Houston Saturday, Nov. 9. And to Smithers the weekend after that, Saturday, Nov. 16. They’ll then be back in Terrace to host Smithers on Nov. 30 and the Houston Luckies that Sunday afternoon, Dec. 1.

Milestone year for Centennial’s Sports Scope Senior Girls volleyball team

CENTENNIAL CHRISTIAN’S Senior Girls volleyball 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 assistant coach Rayna Braam. “Although the boys’ teams at Centennial have placed multiple 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 coachable team I have ever had – all of the girls show up to practice 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-

ic 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 afternoon 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, regarded 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 steelhead on remote rivers. Ric, though his profession 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 nobody 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

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

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

fishing,” Roger said, “and all these fishermen 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 arrived 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 brightness – 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 suburbs 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. More next week...
