Power plan revealed By JOSH MASSEY BC Hydro says it's going to replace its aging 287kv transmission line between Terrace and Kitimat with at least one and possibly two lines of the same size. In a presentation to Terrace city council today, BC Hydro officials said the project replaces one which would have featured a new 500kv line between Prince George and Terrace and two 500kv lines between Terrace and Kitimat. But that plan, which was based on BC Hydro being called upon to supply large amounts of power to potential liquefied natural gas (LNG) plants at Kitimat, was abandoned last year because the plants are now to use natural gas to produce the power to super cool natural gas into liquid form for export overseas. BC Hydro officials say the existing 287kv line, built in the early 1970s, from its Skeena Substation, located south of Terrace, to Kitimat is well past its prime and no longer viable to maintain. The same is true for the provincial crown corporation's 287kv line from its Minette Substation to the Rio Tinto Alcan smelter and this line will be replaced as well. “Based on the anticipated new industrial customer connections in the Kitimat area and the associated load growth, a 287 kV circuit will be capable of supplying the necessary power. There is no identified need to

build a 500 kV line, however, we are continuing to study the load growth in the area,” reads a BC Hydro position paper being presented to city council. And having two 287kv lines sharing the power load between Terrace and Kitimat will increase reliability should something happen to one of them. “BC Hydro will be assessing whether this enhanced reliability is required,” the BC Hydro document continues and has pegged this summer to reach a decision. The crown corporation also says it wants the project finished by late 2018 or early 2019, ahead of when planned LNG plants in Kitimat are expected to open. The new plan to build at least one new line does away with an earlier proposition to upgrade the existing 287kv line. “Our original plan was to upgrade the line so it could carry more power, as a short-term measure, while we decided on options for replacement. We’ve now decided to bypass that step,” said Lesley Wood from BC Hydro. In addition to deciding how many lines to build, BC Hydro has to decide the route or routes to be taken. It can parallel the existing line's route down the east side of the valley between Terrace and Kitimat or carve out a new route on the west side of the valley. BC Hydro officials say they'll be speaking with local governments, First Nations and other affected parties.

Man bequeaths thousands to hospitals A FRIENDSHIP forged from a tragedy more than 40 years ago took on a more official form late last year with a presentation of a $90,000 cheque to the REM Lee Hospital Foundation. The presentation was made by Max Muff acting as the executor to the estate of longtime friend Walter Mantel, who passed away April 15, 2012.

Muff first met Mantel in 1968 when a hunting partner of Muff's went missing in the Bornite Mountain area. Mantel, a mountain climber, was one of those who came out to search for the missing partner. “We never did find him,” said Muff of his partner. “But that's where I met Walter and that started the friendship.”

That friendship was based on a mutual love of the area and its mountains. “We went all over the mountains around Terrace,” said Muff. Their accomplishments included climbing the highest peak of the Seven Sisters Mountain range in the early 1970s. An accomplished photographer, Mantel always carried a camera,

Muff added. Born in Germany, Mantel came to Canada in the late 1950s and became a citizen in 1964. His last job before retirement was that of a draughtsman at Twin River Timber. Mantel’s wife predeceased him and the couple had no children. The cheque presentation was made to REM Lee Hospital Foun-

dation representatives Dec. 23, 2013 at Mills Memorial Hospital. The money, $90,852.04, will be used for foundation purchases of medical equipment, said foundation representative Eileen Kennedy. “We’ll be announcing something specific in the new year,” she said.

“ The Joint Review Panel’s recommendation is an important step toward building a better pipeline.”

My name is Janet Holder and I am the leader of the Northern Gateway Project. This past December, my team came one step closer towards our goal of building a better pipeline. After weighing the evidence in the most comprehensive, scientific review in Canadian pipeline history, the Joint Review Panel of the National Energy Board and the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency provided its recommendation.

From the beginning, Northern Gateway has committed to building a safer and better pipeline. The Panel’s conditions are an important step towards that goal. They reflect the input of thousands of British Columbians and Canadians, and include many of the commitments we made in our submission. But our work is far from done. As a proud British Columbian, I assure you that my team will continue to work hard towards meeting all of the final conditions set out by the Joint Review Panel, just as we’re working hard to meet the Province’s tough conditions. Building a better pipeline isn’t easy. It takes hard work and complete dedication to meeting the highest standards possible. The Joint Review Panel’s recommendation is an important step toward building a better pipeline.

Sincerely,

Janet Holder Leader of Northern Gateway

The Panel concluded that Canada and Canadians would be better off with the Northern Gateway Project than without it. They also provided 209 conditions we must meet before we build the project or before we start operations.

TEXT A TIP TO “TERRACE” send 274637(CRIMES)

Road conditions at the time were snowcovered and slippery, said police. The highway was closed to traffic both ways and reopened at 9:45 p.m. that night. The prospect of a third vehicle being involved arose Jan. 8 when RCMP officers released a photo of a dark-coloured Dodge pickup truck, saying it fled the scene west toward Prince Rupert following the accident. A tip resulted in the driver being found Jan. 9, said RCMP. The investigation includes the condition of the highway at the time of the accident. There was a light dusting of snow on the ground when the accident happened, said local transportation ministry manager Lori Wiedeman. She said the roads were well within the standards for snow clearing, adding a westbound snowplow belonging to the area’s

POLICE SPECIALISTS continue to investigate the cause of a Jan. 7 accident 50 kilometres west of Terrace on Hwy16 which claimed the life of a young Prince Rupert man. The investigation includes whether or not a third vehicle was involved when a westbound Honda Civic lost control and collided head-in with an empty dual axle gravel truck traveling east at approximately 3 p.m. that day. The 27-year-old Honda passenger lost his life and the 31-yearold driver, also from Prince Rupert, was sent to hospital in serious condition. They were wearing seatbelts and the airbags did go off, said Terrace RCMP media relations officer Const. Angela Rabut. The 58-year-old gravel truck driver, who was from Terrace, was transported to Mills Memorial Hospital with minor injuries, said police.

The maximum allowable accumulation of snow for a Class B highway, which is the classification for Hwy 16 West, are 6 cm and the skiff of snow on the road that day at the time of the accident was well

below that, said Wiedeman. “Once it starts snowing, the contractor has to be out there clearing at least one lane in each direction,” she said. And photos taken by the snowplow driver are clear enough to see the colour of the asphalt and the lines on the road, she said.

“In terms of a report from Nechako Northcoast Construction, they are required to document the accident and keep their records to supply them if requested,” said Wiedeman. A Facebook memorial page has been set up for the passenger who died in the crash, Tuan Hoang.

School district hires a new superintendent THE COAST Mountains School District has hired someone from northern Vancouver Island to replace Nancy Wells as its schools superintendent. Katherine McIntosh, now the assistant superintendent for School District 85 based in Port Hardy, starts her new job in the spring. “She is an outstanding educator who already deeply understands the diverse and unique educational needs of our urban and rural learners, schools and communities,” said school board chair Art Erasmus of McIntosh in a release sent out late last week. Wells was initially brought in after the sudden departure of Rob Greenwood in the fall of

2010 and while it was never her plan to stay for a long term, her contract was extended while the board searched for a permanent replacement. McIntosh’s background includes work in five school districts in two provinces. Her academic background includes a Bachelor of Education degree from the University of Alberta and a Master of Education degree in Educational Administration and Leadership from the University of British Columbia. McIntosh’s hiring continues a series of senior personnel changes within the school district. Long-term educator Agnes Casgrain, current principal of Kildala Elementary School in

Kitimat, will become the district’s new aboriginal education principal, effective Feb. 1. And Cam MacKay began as the district’s new human resources director Jan. 1. He had been the principal at Caledonia Secondary School, a job now filled by Keith Axelson who moves up from being a vice principal. In turn, Axelson was replaced by Todd Hollett who had been principal at Uplands Elementary. Hollett’s replacement is expected to be named soon. The district also needs to hire a director of instruction, replacing Brent Speidel who began a senior position at Northwest Community College here in Terrace this month.

Board chair is selected Coast Mountains School District chair Art Erasmus is continuing on that position for the third year in a row as voted by his fellow trustees at a special meeting held in Vancouver on Dec. 6. The trustees were in Vancouver for the 2013 British Columbia School Trustee Association (BCSTA) Academy, an annual event hosted by BCSTA and attended by boards across the province.

A former teacher and principal, this is Erasmus’ third year as board chair, and eighth on the board which is made up of seven trustees from Kitimat, Terrace, the Hazeltons and Stewart. He is one of two trustees from Terrace. The other Terrace trustee, Roger Leclerc, was once again elected to the position of vice chair, with Kitimat trustee Linda Campbell replacing Erasmus as the BC Public School Employ-

N O R T H W E S T

ers’ Association (BCPSEA) delegate. The BCPSEA alternate position, formerly held by Stewart trustee Shannon McFee, remains vacant at this time. Thornhill trustee Gary Turner will be the BCSTA delegate, with Hazelton trustee Lynn Newbery as the alternate. They replace Kitimat trustee Raymond Raj and Campbell, respectively.

The All Nations Centre on Sparks St. celebrates its fifth anniversary

on and Delphine Dame remember the first-ever soup kitchen they offered in Terrace’s George Little Park. “Eight people. A small pot of soup and a loaf of bread,” says Delphine Dame of that day on a Sunday in September 1996. The Dames, members of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, got the idea for a soup kitchen earlier that year from a church friend. The friend’s husband had died after a massive heart attack and she was looking for a project – during a conversation one evening, the idea of a soup kitchen cropped up. The Bread of Life Soup Kitchen, affiliated with the Seventh-day Adventist Church, operated for several years in the park every Sunday and grew in size thanks to volunteers not only preparing and bringing soup and food but by putting up tables and, in inclement weather, tarps and tents for protection. “We would even use the bandstand,” recalled Ron Dame of the large concrete structure which once stood in the middle of the park. After awhile, the soup kitchen moved to the auditorium of the Skeena Health Unit, providing a more user-friendly space. From there, the soup kitchen moved to the hall on the corner of Sparks St. and Davis Ave., one block west of George Little Park, and owned by the carpenters union. The opportunity soon presented itself to buy the building and the Seventh-day Adventist Church purchased the facility, since renamed the All Nations Centre, for the Bread of Life Soup Kitchen, taking possession Dec. 1, 2008. Not only had the once-a-week soup kitchen found a home but there was an opportunity to expand to offer other services such as a daily drop-in centre. And that’s where Casey Eys, a worker with the Terrace and District Community Services Soci-

The death by hypothermia of a man in a vacant lot near Mills Memorial Hospital that winter had highlighted the need for a warm and safe place for street people. “We proposed that Casey go ahead and start the drop-in centre and let God and Casey find the funding. So Casey opened the doors on Dec. 19, [2008],” said

Dame. The fifth anniversary of the community services society’s week day programs and the purchase of the building was celebrated Dec. 23, 2013 with music by the Copper Mountain String Band, a cake and a visit by Santa. The community services society and the Bread of Life Soup Kitchen did have to come to an agreement early on about utilities and other costs. Over the years, a monthly rent subsidy provided by Cambria Gordon, the Terrace-based environmental services company, for the community services society has

helped provide a more stable financial foundation. Companies such as Terrace Totem Ford have provided lunch on occasion and a 2009 highlight came in September of that year when former Vancouver Canucks defenceman Dave Babych visited the centre during Hockeyville festivities in the city. Several projects have taken place over the past five years to maintain the building and this spring, the plan is to expand the structure, says Ron Dame. “We have 10 freezers and fridges at our home. But having them here would be more efficient,” he

said of the ability to store food onsite. Approximately 30 volunteers are involved with the Bread of Life Sunday soup kitchen, with 10 being directly involved in making soup. And this fall, the centre took on a new role as the home for the winter damp shelter run by the Ksan House Society through financing provided by the provincial government. Ten cots are set up each night in the hall. “The same people who are here in the day can now stay at night. It makes sense,” said Ron Dame.

Damp shelter shifts to downtown spot By ANNA KILLEN Those needing a warm bed in the winter months can now find one closer to downtown, as Terrace's extreme weather shelter is operating out of the All Nations Centre on Sparks St. this year instead of its previous location on the south side. Operated by Ksan Society with money provided by BC Housing, the 10-bed shelter officially opened in November 2013, and should be running until the end of March when there is extreme weather – meaning any combination of freezing rain, below zero wind chill

factors or temperatures at or near zero, heavy rain or snowfall. “So that people can get out of the weather and basically have something warm to eat and dry off,” said Ksan's shelter manager Rob McVey. “The risk of hypothermia is significant, especially if people have been drinking then they're more susceptible to hypothermia – if they can't get dry, then there's a real problem.” This shelter is a damp shelter – unlike at the main shelter which is dry. “People that go in have to turn over their alcohol and backpacks and they're secured in a safe area,

they can have them when they leave,” McVey said, of the Sparks St. shelter. “They can't consume any alcohol when they're in there – no illegal drugs are allowed in the shelter, and nothing dangerous, sharp, no weapons, no knives, stuff like that. “It's people we otherwise can't let into the dry shelter, so it works out really well,” he said, noting that people under the influence to the point where they can’t look after themselves will be turned away, as will people who are acting belligerent or aggressive. “I know that it helps out the police and the ambulance people at

the hospital quite a bit.” The program is paid for by the provincial government, with Ksan billing BC Housing bi-weekly based on the nights open and number of clients, for as many nights as needed. Last winter, BC Housing provided Ksan House Society with $63,652.13 to operate the damp shelter from November 1, 2012 to April 7, 2013. Hot meals are provided, as well as winter clothing – of which donations are always appreciated. Men and women have separate quarters in the shelter, and upgrades were done to the Sparks St. building earlier this year in or-

der for it to operate at the extreme weather shelter. Last year, the shelter was located on the south side. McVey says this new location is an improvement, and he hopes it stays there. “It would be nice, because it’s easy to use the building, it’s in a really good location and everybody knows where it is,” he said. “It’s so close to downtown, they can just walk over from the park or from wherever they’re at and be there in like five minutes.” The plan is to have the centre open nearly 24 hours a day in one form or another so there’s always a place to go for a warm meal or bed.

EDITORIAL

Toxic REVELATIONS of exactly what City of Terrace employees have to deal with when it comes to maintaining the city’s sewer system are eye-opening at best and disturbing at worst. As detailed in a Jan. 1, 2014 front page story by reporter Josh Massey, anything goes it seems – right down the toilet. Even dental floss, the seemingly most innocuous of items that could conceivably be found in a house, is on the list of things that should not be flushed because it wraps around propellers and pumps. There are several reasons why citizens should not be flushing things like dental floss, condoms, tampons and the like. First, it’s a financial issue. Dealing with these items costs tax money and it’s money that could better be spent in direct citizen services such as recreation or at the library. Secondly, if we so casually flush away items which do not break down, what kind of liquids also end up in the sewer system and, by extension, eventually into the Skeena River? That list is probably long and the items on it toxic and harmful. Years ago bright yellow fish symbols were painted right next to storm water drains as a reminder that whatever enters the drain can affect what lives in the river. If only those symbols could be painted in the bathrooms and kitchens of our homes. ESTABLISHED APRIL 27, 1988

Canada’s wartime contribution recalled

very trip we drove to our nearest city, North Battleford, when I was a kid took us along Highway 4 past an abandoned wartime airport. All that remained was a boxy one-storey building, with five gigantic bay doors, sprawled beside a sparsely grassed runway that disappeared in the distance. Not a rock or a gopher would have impeded the small yellow planes as they practised landings and takeoffs. Gone was the spotlighted anti-aircraft blimp that had been visible in the night sky from our farm near Vawn 30 miles to the northwest. During the years 1941 to 1945 this Hamlin airport and a second relief airport at Brada just east of North Battleford were two of hundreds in the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan. Until I began reading Elinor Florence’s blog – Wartime Wednesdays – published weekly in the North Battleford News-Optimist, I was unaware of the bustling activity that had gone as some 130,000 servicemen from Commonwealth countries trained in Canada

In 1946 when Florence’s father, Douglas, returned from serving in the Royal Canadian Air Force, he took advantage of loans available to returning veterans, to finance a farm. Under the Veterans Land Act he would have been eligible for $4500 to buy land, $1200 for equipment, scarcely enough to fuel a modern monster tractor. He chose to buy the decommissioned airport three miles east of Brada. The land came with several government buildings including a T-shaped barracks con-

structed from quality lumber sided with shingles. Florence divided the building in half to turn the T-shaped end into a comfortable farm home. Florence attended Brada’s one-room school to the end of grade eight when the school closed. She transferred to Battleford Collegiate Institute for high school. She went on to earn an English degree from the University of Saskatchewan and a journalism degree from Carleton University. She began her journalism career at Battleford’s Advertiser-Post, forerunner of the News Optimist. Positions of increasing responsibility took her to The Western Producer, Red Deer Advocate, Winnipeg Sun, Vancouver Province and Reader’s Digest where she contributed feature articles.

As an offshoot of her blog research, Florence has written a novel, “Bird’s Eye View”, to be published October 2014. The novel deals with a prairie girl who joins the RCAF and serves as an interpreter of aerial photographs, a wartime assignment new to me.

The Mail Bag Sewage plan for Lakelse lacking Dear Sir: Recently I briefly attended the information meetings that were held in Prince Rupert regarding the plans for a sewage treatment system at Lakelse Lake. Having listened to Mr. Roger Tooms deliver his information for some time I asked one question to which I received a highly unsatisfactory answer. My question was, ‘And, how is all this going to be paid for?’ The response was, basically, ‘per parcel, not on assessed value’ and there was an explanation of parcel based on a Hazelton example – which only muddied the information being offered. On further examination of the story boards set up around the room, I found a piece of information offering cost, amortized over 20 years would work out to about $800 a year. The fact that quite a few property owners won’t, based on odds, be alive in 20 years makes that statement really annoying.

Now, I am not adverse to sewage treatment where needed. Having said that, I certainly don’t want to be ‘the one’ contaminating the lake, nor do I want anyone else to do so. But, we seem to be jumping from the least desirable method of sewage treatment (septic tanks and fields) to a Ferrari-level treatment system without overwhelming evidence that is what is required (the Ferrari, I mean). From what I picked up at the open house, the biggest bug bear on the lake is the flood plain – for a number of reasons. We are owners of a piece of property on that flood plain. We bought that property about 33 years ago. We bought it as a recreational property. And, I might point out, at that time we were being taxed as a recreational property! Needless to say, some years along, that got changed! We use that property weekends during the

summer months. We do not have a dishwasher (the automatic kind) or laundry facilities. We take our garbage home with us. My understanding is that, as well as paying for our share of the new system, we will be responsible for paying for

our hookup to the main line. Our property is over 440 feet long. And, it’s a property that does not lend itself to ‘running’ any kind of line through it. I don’t know how many properties would be similar but it strikes

me you are asking a few people to pay more that anyone else. To be facing that kind of expense for a number of weekends, per year, that you can probably count on fingers and toes is mindboggling. Needless to say, you

can count me on the ‘no’ side. I believe there are other options we can go with before we have to hit the big time (like monitoring our area of the lake, sealed tanks, etc). Joan Cassidy, Prince Rupert, B.C.

Boost needed Dear Sir: Pensioners spend their money. An increase is needed. The Conservatives created the deficit, let them take a cut in income. In a consumer driven economy spending more money is the name of the game. Given an increase in incomes, seniors would help the economy, not hurt it. It works the same as giving money to corporations, eh? We are poised to see the Hunger Games happen. In this plot there are two levels of society: the rich and the impoverished. If the poor are recruited to fight in the wars and they come back alive they advance. But who pays their incomes? Will seniors be on the front lines of those wars? Brian Gregg, Terrace, B.C.

Long, long road yet for Enbridge pipeline

t looong last, in late December, the Joint Review Panel (JRP) delivered its verdict on the Enbridge Northern Gateway proposal. And it was approved, subject to a long list of conditions. The three-member panel’s conclusion did not surprise me. But before I explain why it didn’t, an aside. Given the blinkof-an-eye gap between the announcement and the news releases of outrage from some of the usual suspects, the charitable side of me concluded, given the report is near 500 pages long and there are no fewer than 209 conditions, the outraged must have all taken speed reading courses. The cynical side wondered whether reaction statements – either critical or lauditory depending on the verdict – just might have been written before the report even came down. But back to why I am not surprised by the verdict. The overriding mandate of the JRP was to decide whether Northern Gateway was in the national interest.

You didn’t have to be a clairvoyant to figure out the panel would decide it was. It’s simple math: billions of dollars pouring into government coffers through various taxes over decades versus the potential impacts and costs of a spill. The JRP decision readily acknowledges the potential damage from a major oil spill but says the probability of such a spill is at the lower end and therefore concludes the likely benefits outweigh what it sees as the less likely risks. By now some readers will be apoplectic and be declaring that I am no more than a shill for Enbridge. I hate to burst their outraged bubble, but I am actually no fan of Northern Gateway. And the reason is a letter to the editor back in October of 2011 from Kitimatian Murray Minchin of the Douglas Channel Watch. In it he said he had read Volume 7B of an Enbridge submission which said that in the event of a major 2,000 cubic metres spill at Hunter Creek at the head

GUEST COMMENT

MALCOLM BAXTER of the Kitimat watershed, “A closure on recreational fishing [on the Kitimat River] would probably be in place for some time, perhaps up to four years or more, to allow populations time to recover.” And to my knowledge Enbridge has never contradicted that. Being an avid fisherman whose favourite holiday destination for many years now has been the Kitimat River, there is no way

I want to see that river’s fishery shut down for four years or more. That position obviously reflects my own personal interest. The same applies to the positions taken by many northwestern opponents of Northern Gateway. But I repeat, the JRP was looking at the broader national interest. And much as I dislike the project, I would have a hard time coming up with a convincing argument that rejecting it would be in that national interest. Of course the JRP decision doesn’t give Enbridge the green light – that call will be made by the federal cabinet sometime within 180 days of the release of the JRP decision. Again it is not rocket science to figure out it will say ‘yes’ and again it will be making its decision based on its own national interest – as in what such a decision would mean to its electoral chances in the 2015 election. But even if the Conservative government announces tomorrow morning that it has given approval to Northern Gateway, no shovels will hit the dirt any time soon.

That’s because you can bet your bottom dollar that any such announcement would trigger a raft of lawsuits and it would be nonsensical for Enbridge to start any construction with that sword hanging over its head. And given the glacial speed at which such lawsuits grind through the judicial process, it will be years before the verdict will delivered. There is also an interesting wrinkle in the JRP’s decision, specifically its inclusion of a “sunset clause.” And that states “the certificate [to proceed] will expire on 31 December 2016, unless construction of the pipeline or the Kitimat Terminal has commenced by that date.” For reasons mentioned above, that is very unlikely. So, to paraphrase Winston Churchill, the JRP decision is not the end, it is not the beginning of the end, but it is at least the end of the beginning.

College president leaving for a job in Medicine Hat

NORTHWEST Community College is losing its president to an Alberta post secondary institution with a larger budget, more students and more faculty. Denise Henning’s last day here is May 1 and she starts at Medicine Hat College in Medicine Hat in southeastern Alberta on May 15. Henning, who made her departure announcement Jan. 6, began here March 2011. The decision to leave was motivated by wanting to be closer to family, she said. “Quite honestly this was a decision made for the needs of my family and my husband,” said Henning. “I have six kids and 12 grandchildren and as you know it’s expensive to live in the north.”

While she has no family in southeastern Alberta, the area is closer to where family members do live than is northwestern B.C. Medicine Hat College’s last president left in June 2013, just before an audit was released criticizing the lack of financial oversight and controls that existed within its international student division. The college then hired an executive search firm which first appointed an interim president in early October as it began looking for a permanent president. A Fall 2013 announcement from Medicine Hat College said a hiring decision would be reached by the middle of December 2013 with an announcement to be made after that.

Denise Henning Henning said she was called last fall and asked if she was interested, an inquiry which then lead to her accepting the new position. Henning’s tenure here was marked by two themes – budget and people cuts in early 2012 and curtailing operations in some northwest communities to erase a deficit in the

$2 million range and positioning the college to become a partner in training people for the kinds of jobs that will come open based on potential liquefied natural gas and other developments. “No one likes to start a new position early on with a structural deficit,” said Henning. Layoffs affected both support workers and instructors although the union representing one group of instructors was successful in receiving compensation after filing a grievance. Since then, the college has received money from both the province and federal government to beef up its trades offerings.

Included in that has been outfitting a larger trailer equipped with heavy equipment simulators, enabling the college to offer instruction in more rural and remote areas. Henning said that while cuts did affect people and programs, the college is now on a sound financial footing compared to several years ago. Henning’s particularly happy with a program expected to start soon in Prince Rupert that will train underwater welders. “It’s going to be only the second underwater welding program in Canada and it’s going to be here on the west coast, in Prince Rupert.”

Small dog attacked A LOCAL woman is warning others to be cautious when walking their dogs after her pet was attacked by a loose dog. The dog, possibly a Siberian husky, made no noise as it came up behind Lynne Christiansen and her Pomeranian Winnie on Sunset Dr. around 4 p.m. Jan. 6. “It just grabbed her on the back of the neck,” said Christiansen, a city councillor. She had just left her parents’ place on Sunset – she walks her dog there so she can visit them – and was just outside the carport when the dog attacked. “I was just grabbing fur at the back of his neck and just kicked and kicked him. He was not even too bothered by that and went on down Sunset,” said Christiansen, adding she called 911 right away but no one came. Christiansen took her dog to vet Dr. David Farkvam to find out he had already gone home for the day and didn’t take after hours calls. She knew already from a sign on the Skeena Animal Hospital that the city’s second vet, Dr. Tom Sager, didn’t take after

hours calls. Farkvam’s receptionist told her to watch her dog overnight and call back first thing the next morning. “I really barely slept,” Christiansen said, adding Winnie was “a bloody mess, breathing really pathetically.” When she called Farkvam’s office the next day, she was told he was fully booked, and his office suggested calling the only vet in Kitimat. The Kitimat vet’s office said Winnie could be seen in a couple of days. Fortunately, Christiansen was able to see Sager later that day. Winnie was stitched up and given antibiotics. “There were some pretty deep puncture marks around her neck. The way he (the husky) was grabbing her, he could have snapped her neck,” she said. “But it cost me $500 because some other person can’t keep their dog under control,” she said, adding it would be nice if the other dog’s owner would pay the vet bill. “It’s alarming if a dog like that was running [wild]. What if it runs into a kid or goes after

another dog?” said Christiansen. Christiansen, a city councillor, does wonder why, after calling 911, a police officer didn’t respond given that the husky was on the loose. And she’s hoping a vet who will soon be opening a third practice here will help ease a shortage of veterinary services. “I think the vets here do the best they can. They have to have a life and can’t work day and night,” she said. “You don’t like to watch your pet suffer.” Vet Tom Sager said dog attacks are common. “It’s really important to report it because in the past there have been serious attacks with people torn up and they went to court and the judge would say it’s never happened before,” he said. “A lot of this wouldn’t happen if people kept their dogs confined and if they’re not doing it, I wish there was some repercussion but the courts don’t seem to be helping,” said Sager. As for a third vet here, Dr. Jatinger Kang from Vancouver is expected to open a practice here by mid February.

Northwest BC real estate market ‘hot’ Another report indicating a hot real estate market in Terrace came out last week from the BC Northern Real Estate Board. Compared to neighbouring cities of comparable size, Terrace saw 384 properties change hands in 2013, compared to Kitimat which had 235 and Prince Rupert 261. “The 384 properties that sold in the Terrace area in 2013 were worth $87.8 million compared with 2012’s 318 properties worth $66 million,” reads the report. By the end of December, there were 111 properties of all types available in the Terrace area, which was a drop from 157 in 2012. The average sale prices in Terrace, Kitimat and Prince Rupert jumped significantly compared to previous years, the report shows. The 235 total sales in Kitimat in 2013 were worth $56.9 million, compared to the 239 properties worth $41.3 million that sold in 2012. In Prince Rupert, the 261 properties that changed hands in 2013 were worth $55 million compared with 160 properties worth $26.9 million in 2012. These figures from all three of the Northwest’s most populous towns roughly mirror the recent property values released by BC Assessments. The board reported a total of 4,891 property sales in the northern region worth $1.2 billion in 2013, up from last year’s 4,696 sales worth $1.08 billion. The northern region includes cities along Hwy16 north of Williams Lake to Fort Nelson and west along Hwy16. Northern Real Estate Board president Gisela Janzen said in a release that sales in the Northwest region were highest this year compared to other northern regions, and that overall sales in the north rose by four per cent, continuing an upwards trend for the fourth straight year. “Markets in the Northwest region performed extremely well, mostly driven by large economic projects and developments,” said Janzen. “Markets in

the southern region remained largely unchanged from the previous year mainly due to a poorly performing labour market.” BC Assessments also shared some more

specific details about home values in Terrace. The average value of single family dwellings spiked to $304,272 from $264,596, up by $39,676, which was a 15 per cent increase.

On the bench, the value of a house rose to $306,365 from $279,691, a 9.54 per cent increase. In the Horseshoe, the jump was to $228,063 from $202,010, 12.90 per

cent. On the south side, the assessment values rose 9.37 per cent to $205,582, up from $187,977. In the Thornhill core, the rise was 3.79 per cent, $190,924 up from

$183,949, while the Thornhill Bench experienced a 11.74 per cent increase, $243,526 up from $217,937. Local realtor John Evans said he expects prices to keep rising

through 2014. He also warned that assessments aren’t always the best way to evaluate the price of a home because the market at any given time could prove different values.

Arson probed

CONTRIBUTED PHOTO

■ Blaze fought THERE WERE no injuries and the lone occupant of a unit at the Rainbow Inn escaped when curtains caught on fire while he was cooking the morning of Jan. 10. Firefighters had the blaze under control quickly. Other units weren’t affected.

POLICE ARE asking for the public’s help to find the suspects involved in an attempted arson with a Molotov cocktail in Copper Mountain during the Christmas break. Thornhill Fire Department called Terrace RCMP for assistance shortly after midnight Dec. 21 after someone tossed a beer bottle with a rag soaked in accelerant at the east side of Copper Mountain School on Kirkaldy St. Smoke set off the fire alarm, bringing firefighters to the scene and damage to the school was minimal. Police dog Rook tracked three persons to Core and Skinner St. and witnesses in the area saw three men dressed in black running from police in the area of Hagen St., said police. If you have any information about this crime, contact the Terrace RCMP at 250-638-7400 or anonymously through Crime Stoppers by telephone at 1-800222-TIPS, online at www. terracecrimestoppers.ca or by texting TERRACE plus your message to 274637 (CRIMES). You may be eligible for a cash reward of up to $2,000.

Looks Toyota has always been a logical purchase, based on reliability and durability but now its designs too are capturing buyers with a visual, desirable esthetic. The 2014 edition is 7.5cm longer (mostly in the rear seat and cargo area), 1.5cm wider and 3cm lower. The stance is wide and lower, making more of a visual impact. Combine this with a large grille borrowed from the Tundra pickup truck and the Highlander has a very rugged, yet polished, look that

The cup holder is large and the centre armrest has a massive storage area inside; this is thanks to the removal of the stowaway seat that used to hide under the centre armrest. Now in the second row of seats there are three permanent seats or two captain’s chairs in the top Limited model. The previous hideaway idea was simple but not so comfortable. The biggest change takes place in the third row of seats, where three people can sit rather than just two. In addition,

there is 100L of cargo space behind the third row of seats offering much better functionality. It has all the interior amenities that one expects in a modern three-row crossover, even a system that allows the driver’s voice to be amplified through the stereo for easier conversations with passengers in the very back, but there seems to be a lack of sophistication compared to its competition. Drive The previous Highlander was available with a 4-cylinder engine and front wheel drive (FWD). It’s with a standard 3.5L V6 with 270hp, matched to a 6-speed automatic transmission, also with FWD. The starting price stays at $31,680; factoring in the backup camera there is good value here. When it arrives later this month, the base LE with all wheel drive (AWD) starts at $34,180. I think most people will opt for the LE with convenience package that includes 8-way power driver’s seat, heated front seats, three-zone climate control, satellite radio and leather steering wheel to name a few. This brings the price up to $34,480 for the FWD and $36,980 for the AWD. On the road, the AWD system sends power to just the front wheels as often as possible with only 10 per cent of the torque shifting when cornering. The system has the ability to shift or lock up to 50 per cent of the power for better traction but limiting it to times

when it is truly needed helps improve fuel economy. The other part of the fuel economy story is the all-new 6-speed automatic. The official fuel rating for the most popular AWD model is 11.5L/100km in the city and 8.2L on the highway, which is almost a full litre improvement in combined highway/city economy over the 2013 model. The rear suspension has been modified for a slightly more dynamic drive and improved ride. The steering is rather light and vague but the buyers of this type of product will appreciate the ease of use.

OF THE WEEK:

Verdict The Highlander is a functional vehicle for young buyers with kids and friends that need to get to practice and carry all the sports equipment that goes with it. Overall, a very good family crossover that will get the job done every day.

With challenging road conditions across the province, January is always one of the highest months for crashes in B.C. Take some small steps to prepare your vehicle for the conditions, such as checking your tire pressure – tires deflate more quickly in cold weather – and top up your vehicle’s anti-freeze, windshield washer fluid, and gas.

Hospital benefits Mantel also left a similar amount to the St. Paul's Hospital Foundation in Vancouver, making for a total bequest to the two health care foundations of just under $182,800. “It was within a few pennies [of the bequest made to the Lee foundation],” said Muff of the money provided to the St. Paul's foundation. “It was an odd amount in total and it wouldn't divide evenly so that's why,” he said. Muff said there was no specific reason for the bequests for the two hospital foundations, but did note that Mantel was a cancer patient at St. Paul's and that both he and his wife had been patients at Mills Memorial.

Learning for Life celebrates literacy LEARNING FOR Life welcomes the whole family to fun activities to celebrate Literacy Day. “We really mean Learning for Life so we’re hoping to have some stuff for adults as well,” said organizer Coco Schau. Numeracy is included in literacy too. And there will be financial literacy activities for children and

adults. “The skills you need these days just to carry on everyday life are just more involved than they used to be.” Schau got a new camera for Christmas and said she has to read a book to learn how to use it whereas in the past it would’ve been only one page of instructions. “That’s true for the computer to fill in forms

on the computer even,” she said. So much focus is on the trades in the community, there’s a need for different kinds of skills, including literacy, if you’re involved in the trades, such as needing to pull essential information from complicated documents, follow instructions and learn about safety. Last year’s weeklong literacy celebra-

tion was in several places and didn’t work so well, but having all the exhibits, displays and activities in one place is expected to be better, she said. “People didn’t feel it had the same kind of buzz and excitement,” said Schau about last year’s activities in different places. For more details on Learning for Life, see Community Calendar on page 18.

Volunteers start year with search and rescue Terrace Search and Rescue kicked off the new year picking up a couple of backcountry skiers, including an injured person, on Jan. 5. The BC Ambulance Service called search and rescue at 2:14 p.m. that day to evacuate an injured skier from Shames Mountain backcountry – North Bowl, said Terrace Search and Rescue manager Dwayne Sheppard. Search and rescue organized four team members, one Avalanche Tech II, one paramedic and two avalanche response trained team members for the search. Two friends of the skier prepared a helipad at the site, using their avalanche shovels and stamping the pad down with their skies, said Sheppard.

The injured skier was found and transported by helicopter to paramedics at the Hwy 16 and Shames Mountain Forest Service Road where an ambulance was waiting to take the injured person to hospital. That was after a five-day search for missing Prince Rupert resident Adam Moore that Terrace Search and Rescue took part in, finding the trunk lid and licence plate of the man’s vehicle at 1 p.m. Jan. 5, at which time they notified police. During that search on the third day, one of the Kitimat search and rescue mutual aid crews rolled their pickup on the slippery pavement of Hwy 16, severely damaging the vehicle but no one was injured, said Sheppard.

She is currently studying linguistics at Simon Fraser University.

LONGTIME RESIDENT and City of Terrace freeman Bill McRae celebrated his 90th birthday twice, once at home and once at the Happy Gang Centre. Old friends came out to the Happy Gang for birthday cake, to see him blow out his birthday candle and to give him some presents Jan. 8. The day before, his actual birthday of Jan. 7, there was a “crowd” at his place, he told those at the Happy Gang through teary eyes. “What a crowd yesterday at our house – some young, some not so young, some older, then to come here

today and see all my old friends,” said McRae, stopping as he started crying. “I feel like I’m an astronaut. I’m walking on air.” Terrace mayor Dave Pernarowski noted that McRae had been a city freeman for 25 years now and was doing it very well. Later, Pernarowski took McRae aside to take a “selfie,” a photo of himself and McRae, with his phone to put online. Also congratulating McRae were city councillors Lynne Christiansen, Brian Downie, Bruce Bidgood and former city councillor Carol Leclerc.

AUTISM CONFERENCE AVAILABLE in Terrace through Telehealth for parents of children with autism and professionals who work with them to learn from leaders and specialists in the field. The 7th annual conference, hosted by Children’s Autism Services of Edmonton, is a major educational event that engages respected researchers and practitioners to present in-depth sessions with practical strategies and resources. This year’s featured presenter is Michelle Garcia Winner, internationally renowned speech language pathologist from California, who coined the phrase Social Thinking®. How we think about others – social thinking – affects how we understand and relate to one another. For most of us that process is intuitive; but, for a child with autism, this is a complex communication skill which must be learned. www.socialthinking. com.

Terrace Standard Wednesday, January 15, 2014

ou have 20 minutes for the appetizer course, 30 minutes for the main entrée, and 30 for dessert. You must use all of the ingredients in your Mystery Basket. Time starts… now! Surely I am not the only one who recognizes this cable cooking show as a metaphor for child rearing? (Yeah, you are, Doll, and don’t call me Shirley.) Let’s start at the beginning, let’s start with the appetizer Mystery Basket. “I love your hair!” someone might say to me, or any other redhead, Ginger, or Kermode. I just say “Thank you! Thanks!” (Often I think, “All it takes is two recessive genes, Doll, and neither of them were mine, see?”) That’s like your Mystery Basket. You might get Italian sausage, Gummy Bears, and baby kale. Plus the annoying ingredient of canned creamed corn, or whatever, in your first dish of the game, an appetizer. The cable show “Chopped” aired the first episode of its Canadian version on January 2, 2014. My kid’s 19th birthday was the next day. These Canadian chefs got, for their appetizer round: macaroni and cheese loaf (bologna with mac-n-cheese bits mixed in, if you don’t know), bone marrow (a big bone with yummy umami on the inside), anchovy paste (salty fishy goo) and PEI potatoes. The winner made hash. For my appetizer Mystery Basket, I got a Ginger baby with a sunny disposition (here is a photograph of him smiling at just three weeks of age!) and allergies to Planet Earth – dust, plants, animals, etc. You, as a Contestant, might be dismayed over the Italian Sausage, suspi-

W H AT ?

Time’s up, please step back cious of the Gummy Bears, and ecstatic over the Baby Kale, say, for instance, if you are familiar with, or simply love, kale of any sort. Now let’s say you, for whatever reason, love canned cream corn, and let’s say, also by chance, the baby who pops out also loves canned creamed corn! That’s a big bonus for the first round, especially if canned creamed corn is a metaphor for Lego. So, there you are, in the first round, dragging around toddler-kid to whatever store sells the most Lego, and the proprietor recognizes you and says, “You are such a Good Mother to take the time to construct these block toys with your child!” That’ll get to you-all to age seven or so, so smile and say “Thanks! Thank you!” And proceed to the next round. Now for the main course, the entrée. I would think that’s from age 8 to

15. A layering of flavours is expected, a transformation of the ingredients is necessary, so some depth should be achieved. Start with a base of an energetic eight-year-old. Froth. Whipped snow, two pairs of nonmarking runners, some creepy-crawly lice, add dripping blood, flowing snot, spurting salty tears, waxed crayons, pages and pages of homework, plus your Mystery Basket ingredients. Crown roast of pork, four bruised apples, too much leftover rice, and one turnip in an Unusual and Amusing Shape. Blot and slice, then nag. Time to plate! Look up, way up, at your teen and advise him to put on a jacket, since it is Cold Out. 10-9-87-6, time’s ticking by – and when he looks down upon you and says, with a smile, “No,” you must simply accept it and present your dish to the judges. “I have made for you today a teenager with uncombed hair and inappropriate clothing.” Dessert round, 30 minutes, aged 16 to 19. We have in your Mystery Basket chickpeas, butterscotch pudding, fivespice powder and Montreal bagels, plus our pantry and fridge. Excellent! Why, with some mascarpone, cumin and quinoa, I could make an excellent dish – a winner! Wait, where’s the vehicle? Kid’s got it? Well, phone him on his cell – no answer? Oh, it’s ringing in his room. Does he still live here? Is that still his room? Is he an adult now? Yeah, OK, he’s 19, but…. Time’s up. Please step back. Are you kidding me? Other than the 10 years he had colic when he was three-months-old, the time just flew by! Surely it’s not done yet? (Yeah, well, it’s never done, and I told you not to call me Shirley.)

Obituaries

Carol Ellen (Forbes) Hurrell April 28, 1935 - December 26, 2013

Carol passed away peacefully at the Terrace Hospital, with her daughter Maureen by her side. She was predeceased by her husband and soulmate Chuck, who died June 5, 2013 only one month shy of their sixtieth wedding anniversary. Survived by her son Murray and Leah Hurrell, daughter Maureen and Scott Tarrant, sister Arline Lozensky, grandsons Casey and Shilo Tarrant, her precious Great Granddaughter Paisley Rose, and many cherished nieces, nephews, brother-in-laws and sister-in-laws. Carol was born and raised in Glidden, Saskatchewan, where she met and married Charles. They lived in Sandgren, Sanctuary and Hazlet in the province of Saskatchewan where they raised their family. Chuck and Carol then lived in Stewart and for the past twenty years, Black Creek. Above all else, Mom treasured her family most; and we are blessed to have the memory of many happy, fun times with Mom and Dad; camping trips, family feasts, card games and holidays. She considered it nothing to take an afternoon from camping, do three loads of laundry, make some peach jam and a few pies, pop a quick roast dinner in the oven and return back to the campsite that night with all the food, and then be ready to take on everyone in a card game. Anyone who visited Carol’s immaculate house was treated to warm Saskatchewan hospitality, hot coffee, bountiful baking, cooking and much laughter and love. A fierce competitor with a strong sense of fair play, Carol was an avid curler, and competed in that sport many years, enjoying many a bonspiel. Her loud calls of “Hurry Hard!” could be heard clearly throughout the curling rink. When she no longer played, she was an enthusiastic fan, following all the championships on tv, and was thrilled to attend a Tournament of Hearts Championship with Maureen. Elevating domestic arts to a masterpiece, Carol worked tirelessly alongside Chuck, turning their garden harvest into preserves, jams, pickles and relishes, many of which won blue ribbons at local fairs. Her enduring commitment to community and strong work ethic made Carol an invaluable member of her volunteer groups, Royal Purple in Saskatchewan, the Ladies Hospital Auxiliary in Stewart and the Old Age Pensioners of Black Creek. Her legacy of love, hard work and devotion will remain as an inspiration to us all. There is no service by Carol’s request.

TUTT

Keith Frederic JUNE 17TH. 1926 DECEMBER 26TH. 2013

The family of Keith Frederic Tutt wish to announce his death while in the loving care of Chilliwack’s Cascade Lodge, during the early morning hours on the 26th day of December, 2013, at the age of 87 years. Keith is survived by family: his loving wife Lois Jean Tutt, nee (Carefoot) in Chilliwack, BC; and his 2nd. son, Allan and his wife Wanda Tutt of Agassiz, BC. Keith was predeceased by his 1st. son, Donald Tutt, on 25th Dec. 2007. Also surviving is his one granddaughter: Tammy and her husband Chris Pilon of Alliston, ON; his two grandsons: Steven and his wife Lisa Tutt of Chilliwack, BC; Chad and his wife Nikki Tutt of Chilliwack, BC; and 6 wonderful great grandchildren: Brandon & Kaley Pilon of Alliston, ON; Mieka & Victoria Tutt of Chilliwack, BC; and Ayden & Ava Tutt of Chilliwack, BC. Keith was born in Kelowna, BC, whose father, Fred Tutt was a Sons of England, Executive; IOOF Executive, and Master Tailor by trade, originally from Battle, England. Fred took over his father’s original business “Tutt’s Tailor Shop”, located in Kelowna, B.C. Years later, failing health resulted in the sale of the family business. His mother Hilda Tutt, was a longstanding member of the Kelowna United Church choir, who also held high office within the Kelowna Rebekah Lodge. One of Keith’s favorite pre-teen memories... was having climbed high up into the pilothouse of the S.S. Sicamous, where he stood undaunted upon an old apple box, manning the helm. On the command of Captain Weeks “Full Steam Ahead”, he was extended the rare privilege of steering the S.S. Sicamous Southbound to Penticton. Keith and his friends learned to swim like fish, by riding the bow-rails of the SS Sicamous whilst traveling astern from the Kelowna docks out to the middle of the lake, where they would jump off and swim back to shore - fun times and years before - the old Aquatic Centre burned to the ground. At the age of 17, after working for Ex. Master R. Williams aboard the M.S. Pentowna in Kelowna and the S.S. Princess Alice in Victoria, Keith and many of his childhood friends left Kelowna to enlist in the WW2 campaign, stopping for a brief period in St. Margaret’s Cove at Hubbards, NS, for additional seamanship training,

Obituaries after having graduated as a lead cadet from the Kelowna Sea Cadet Corps. The Tutt family is forever thankful that Keith was indeed a brave and honorable member of our Canadian Merchant Navy, having survived a number of Pacific and Atlantic missions aboard the steamer ‘Westend Park’, supplying ammo & equipment to allied forces across hostile waters, far, far from home. 1946-1956 Keith returned to Kelowna where he met and married Lois Jean Carefoot, the very amazing & beautiful daughter of Thornton and Florence Carefoot. During this time Keith, worked for the Dept. of Highways, aboard the Kelowna-Westbank Ferries. To his very last breath, Keith always had a vivid recall of his duties aboard the historic: M.V. Lequime; M.V. Lloyd-Jones; and M.V. Pendozi. In recent years, Keith would enjoy sharing memories with his lifetime friend, John Sugars, a retired President of the Okanagan (Kelowna) Historical Society, now residing in Gibsons, BC. In 1957 - Keith’s commanding voice was noticed aboard ship by CKOV’s Robert (Bob) HALL and the rest is history. Keith was hired by CKOV radio in Kelowna, moving to Chilliwack in 1960, as a result of his promotion within CHWK Radio, as News Director. The family recently discovered a letter dated Feb 3, 1960, wherein Kelowna’s Mayor, R.F. Parkinson, thanked Keith for his professionalism and was sorry to see him go... Notwithstanding, Chilliwack School Board Trustees, Municipal Authorities and Law Enforcement Management, quickly learned of Keith’s (passion, enthusiasm and talents) reporting Fraser Valley news in coordination with provincial, national and world events. The long & short of it was having the trust and respect of your community to report the news in a timely, fare and factual manner, without bias. On November 11th, 1960 – The Chilliwack Legion Pipe Band was seen ‘On Parade’, in the downtown core of Chilliwack, for the very first time, and wearing a spectacular full dress highland uniform in the Hunting Fraser (Ancient) tartan, under the leadership of their Founding Pipe Major, Keith Tutt, whose father Fred Tutt, a Master Tailor, was flown in from Kelowna, weeks earlier, to custom measure all band members. It was a proud generation of local pipers and drummers within the Royal Canadian Legion (Branch 4) Pipe Band, who entertained the community for decades and sadly no longer in formation. Family can now only hope – those lately given this uniform, are aware of it’s history and wear it with pride. 1964 - Keith was hired by J. Fred Weber, owner and founder of CFTK Television/ Radio Network, then the largest privately owned broadcasting network known to exist in the world & located in Terrace, BC. Keith worked tirelessly in the broadcast

Keith trained a number of young newscasters in CFTK, including the likes of Russ Froese, who perhaps to this day, is unaware of the high praise and references furnished by Keith on his departure. Of course, many people now recall the very talented Russ Froese for his time as BCTV’s News Anchor. Keith was also actively involved in the formation of the original Terrace Pipe band. Nelson Gillis and Doc Harrison were a couple of the bands original members at a time when the band on parade, was a collaboration of players from the Kitimat, Terrace and Prince Rupert bands. Keith worked hard and played hard. He always stood up for the underdog. He reportedly tossed two offensive drunks out of a Music Festival in Terrace, with the blessing of 2 Nuns in attendance. Keith was a man of action and would not tolerate such disrespect! Ironically, Allan was performing on stage as a piano student of Marylin Davies and being adjudicated by the late Phyllis Schultz, Professor of Music UBC, who in closing awarded Allan with: 1st place honours; and winner of the Piano Forte Championship. 1972 - Keith retired from Broadcast News. Keith and Lois moved back to Chilliwack where they enjoyed the company of old friends and familiar surroundings for many years. Keith was a brilliant man and a proud Canadian, who following his initial retirement, continued to serve his community by completing his training as a Certified Mortician & Embalmer in Chilliwack. Keith also worked as a Pathologist’s Assistant in the Vancouver General Hospital, resulting in his masterful understanding of Human Anatomy. 2011 – Keith in failing health, experienced his first major stroke. The past 2 years were difficult for him, to say the least. The family would like to thank the Cascade Lodge and his new buds Stan & Peter, for their wonderful friendship and support. In lieu of flowers, kind donations in memory of Keith Tutt can be made online to the KELOWNA GENERAL HOSPITAL FOUNDATION, specifically, the (Dr. Walter Anderson Memorial Endowment Fund) utilizing KGH website ‘Ways to Donate & Gift’ menu options at link: http:// kghfoundation.com/

SUnday’s game against the California Waves was the first time the Terrace Totem Ford Midget Reps saw a goal against them – nearly 145 minutes of play into the tournament. Terrace would still go on to win the game 9-2.

Midget reps slam competition The Terrace Totem Ford Midget Reps went nearly undefeated at the Richmond International Midget Tournament over the holiday break, losing their first and only game of the tournament to another northern team, the Prince George Cougars, in double overtime of the Tier 2 gold medal final. While the Terrace team came just shy of gold, their performance at the tournament was noteworthy – six wins (the majority of those

blow outs), one overtime loss, with 51 goals for (by far the highest) while only allowing 11 goals against (the lowest in the Tier 2 division). The team was at the low end of the spectrum for penalty minutes, with just 77 for the entire tournament. The tournament saw teams from across B.C. as well as teams from the United States compete Dec. 26 through Dec. 31. Terrace's first game and win of the tournament set

the tone for the rest of the weekend, a 9-0 blowout against the Everett Jr. Silvertips, hailing from Washington State, on Dec. 27. The next day, seven was Totem Ford's lucky number, as they beat the North Delta Sundevils and the Richmond Midget Blues 7-0 in each game. On Sunday, California Wave was the first team able to find the back of Terrace's net – getting on the board at 4:53 in the second to make

it 4-1 for Terrace. Terrace would go on to win 9-2. Then Terrace would go up against the Semiahmoo Midget Ravens A3 in the quarterfinals, winning 9-3. And later that day they'd meet the North Delta Sundevils in the semi-final, taking that game 6-1 to go into the goal medal final against Prince George. Terrace would open up scoring in the first, with a goal by Hunter Johnson 6:26 in, and another with

just over six minutes left in the first by Cole Motschilnig (assist to Colin Bell), giving them a 2-0 lead going into the second. Two quick goals by the Cougars at 6:26 and 7:25 would tie it at two – but two more goals by Johnson and Motschilnig would put Terrace at 4-2 finishing the second. The Cougars would answer the call in the third – making it 4-3 at 13:50 and tying it up with just a minute

and 15 seconds left in the game. It would be nearly 37 minutes later, in the final minutes of the second overtime, before the score would be settled in Prince George’s favour – 5-4 for the Cougars tough to swallow for Terrace. Terrace’s Ryan Roseboom, Colin Bell, Liam Albright, and Johnson, would be the tournament’s top four point leaders, with goalies Dion Johnston and Bobby Milligan on top as well.

Terrace girls get ready, set for winter games With the BC Winter Games fast approaching, the roster for the northwest zone's U16 female hockey team has been finalized, and four Terrace players are ready to represent the northwest in Mission next month. Myah Bowal, Jacey Neid, Cassidy Broughton, and Tegan Dejong will join teammates from Prince Rupert, Smithers, Stewart, Fort St. James, and even Dease Lake to fight against teams from all over the province at the end of February. The competition is, as usual, expected to be tough but coach Brad Andersen is hoping for some close games and aggressive play from the northwest team. “If they play the way they can play, I think we'll do okay,” he said. “I've got some really good aggressive girls.” The high performance camp to deter-

mine the roster was held Jan. 4 at the Terrace Sportsplex. Coach Andersen – who is in his first year with BC Hockey's high performance program – and BC Hockey representative Chantal Tom helped to lead the session, which saw 13 of the 14 players who will make up the team spend a full day training, playing, and bonding together – a crucial gathering as the team will only be able to practise as a full team right before the competition. “It went good,” said Andersen, of the camp. “There was just the right amount of girls that we didn't have to break any hearts... I was impressed with the amount of kids who did show up, their parents’ commitment to driving them from Dease Lake, Stewart, Fort St. James, that's pretty awesome.”

Local runner wouldn’t have bet $2 he’d win in Vegas Even bronchitis couldn’t stop local runner Ed Ansems from racing the Las Vegas Rock ‘n’ Roll HalfMarathon late last year – nor did it stop him from placing first in his age category, the first time that’s happened in his three attempts at the Nevada race. Ansems travelled to Sin City Nov. 17 to race alongside over 21,000 other runners from around North America and the world in this unique race that sees competitors run after sunset and down Las Vegas Boulevard, Vegas’ main strip. Ansems finished first in the 65 to 69 age group in a time of 1:40.19, comfortably ahead of the second, third and fourth place finishers who clocked in with tight times of 1:45.40, 1:45.45, and 1:45.50. Ansems placed 474th overall in the race out of a total of 20,666 finishers. "This was the first time that I managed to place first in my three attempts at this race," said Ansems. "And for that reason I was extremely pleased with my placing. However, it was not an easy race to run or finish.” That’s because he had bronchitis for the duration of his trip – including race day. “Being in the betting capital of the world, I would not have bet $2 on myself to finish the race and come in first place in

my age group,” he said, noting that he decided to go for it and race even though he wasn’t in his top shape, telling himself that if he started coughing he’d take a taxi back to the hotel. “I had constant thoughts about quitting and taking the easy way back to the hotel via a taxi,” said the experienced long-distance runner. “For some reason, I did not cough during the race but I was still very tired and dehydrated at the finish line. My finish time was 10 minutes slower than my last Las Vegas race and the slowest half-marathon race of my career. But, that wasn't really a concern after I found out the next morning that I came in first.” And there’s a good lesson in his experience. “Just goes to show that a person should never quit until you need to as it is sometimes hard to predict what might happen.” But Ansems did note that he was going to slow it down with the competitions this year. Last year was a very busy race year for him – he competed in seven races in the Vancouver area between March and August – and that he vowed to himself to race fewer times in 2014. "My legs need a break from racing so often," said Ansems, "as my age seems to be slowly creeping up on me."

he Zymoetz River is one of the world’s premier steelhead streams. The river has a large return of Chinook Salmon and hosts Coho Salmon, Chum Salmon, and Pink Salmon as well as Cutthroat Trout, Dolly Varden Char, and Bull Trout. The Zymoetz is both an international and national treasure. It is irreplaceable and invaluable, yet despite its status it is under constant assault. When the highway was upgraded and a new bridge built, the large dike above and below the highway was erected to stabilize the new structure. Similar dikes were placed in the bottom of the valley to protect the property of land owners who should never have been allowed to build on the flood plain of a young and volatile river in the first place. The erection of those dikes and the consequent channelization was hard on the Zymoetz delta. Only a few small wetlands remain. They could host more fauna than they do if the moronic and selfish ATV jockeys stopped using them as mud pits. Considering its wildlife values, there should have been no logging in the Zymoetz Valley. Failing this, what logging there was should have been done in small selective patches located so as to avoid impacts on wetlands. Instead the valley was subjected to the same insensitive forest mining practises as the rest of Skeena by forest corporations whose raison d’être

Bonding is crucial to team’s success

And the camp wasn't easy – the girls were at the rink at 7 a.m. (with a no phones until 8 p.m. rule) and after a morning of drills and evaluations, they had a quick lunch before dry-land training and more fitness tests before another meal together. Later in the day, they played against one of Terrace Minor Hockey's Peewee house teams – which Andersen said is when the team really started to come together and show what they could do. The fact that they were together getting to know each other, and clicking all day long “really showed in their game play,” he said. “With just being put together like that, they showed excellent team play, having them together and bonding was pretty important I think... the kids really showed positional, they made lots of nice passes, I was pretty impressed.” The team won't practise again in full until the day before they fly out of Smithers before the games begin on Feb. 20, and then they'll have a 45-minute practice once they get to the Winter Games arena, so it's important that the team members get in as much practise with their home leagues as possible, said Andersen.

other below the Canyon. These are just the more accessible spots. There are more. There has been no effort by the company to remove the derelict pipe, and in fact, considering the environmental damage that will occur in the removal, it may be better to leave it. There was certainly a lot of damage done to the section of river between the Clore River and Kinayakwa Creek during the repair of the old line. The rebuilt line is higher in a lot of places. It now crosses the Clore in the middle of the lower canyon. This was done with no concern for the scenic values and not considering that people might not want to look at an ugly metal pipe running through the middle of a beautiful setting. It’s typical of Pacific Northern Gas. Now PNG wants to run a pipeline through the most beautiful part of the Zymoetz, the Class One section of the upper river. Doing this would destroy the scenic values. The only thing that protects the vulnerable fish in that part of the river is lack of access. Pipeline construction will take away that safeguard. PNG has been bad for the Zymoetz. To sacrifice the precious section of a timeless resource so the same company can profit in the short term and for a few construction jobs is insanity. If they must, let them run their line along the highway. If they argue it’s too expensive to do that, tell them it’s too expensive not to. World class resources that last in perpetuity trump pipelines.
