MLA calls for safer highways SKEENA NDP MLA Robin Austin is joining his northwestern counterparts in wanting the provincial government to increase Hwy16 winter maintenance standards. Austin says requiring crews to clear roads more often and having them respond earlier to weather events will improve road conditions and reduce the chances of accidents. Hwy16 through municipal areas is considered a Class A highway but outside of built up areas its designation falls to Class B, meaning more snow is allowed to accumu-
late before clearing begins. Accidents in the early part of January along Hwy 16 in northern BC took eight lives. “With the increase in traffic from the [port] at Prince Rupert and more industrial activity generally, there is more commercial traffic on the road joining other traffic,” says Austin. “The volume has increased. “And if there is going to be LNG up here, if that ever does happen, there is going to be even more traffic and the province needs to recognize that and increase the
[winter maintenance] standards,” he said. “There are already impacts being felt ahead of final investment decisions in housing and social services and the province needs to act now.” Austin specifically says the approximately 60 kilometre stretch of Hwy16 heading west of Terrace toward Prince Rupert should be a prime candidate for increasing standards because it goes through several snowbelts and avalancheprone areas. He's also focussed on summer work, saying maintenance
measures could prepare road surfaces for winter driving eliminating the deep grooves made in road surfaces by large commercial and industrial vehicles. Those grooves, when filled with water during the winter months, make for dangerous driving conditions for smaller vehicles, Austin added. Austin is being joined by Doug Donaldson, the NDP MLA for Stikine, and Jennifer Rice, the NDP MLA for North Coast in the call for higher standards for Hwy16. The Kitimat-Stikine regional district last fall was successful in
getting a road maintenance resolution accepted by the Union of BC Municipalities, calling upon the transportation ministry to “revise the provincial standards for road maintenance for future road maintenance contracts to meet public safety needs.” Several years ago a petition campaign organized by Joanne Monaghan, then a Kitimat councillor and now Kitimat mayor, was successful in getting the maintenance standard raised on Hwy37 South between Terrace and Kitimat to Category A from Category B.
Poacher avoids long overdue fine By ANNA KILLEN

■■ Nesting Artists Sylvia Hart and Claude Rioux take a break from setting up Red Raven Gallery’s new location on Lazelle Ave., which opened officially this week. Rioux, a stained glass artist, is one of the gallery’s founding artists and says he’s looking forward to settling into their new space for the long term. The gallery had been housed in a temporary location beside Mr. Mikes for the last few months after leaving their long-held Skeena Mall location.
ONE of the individuals named in the provincial government's attempt to shame people and businesses into paying overdue courtordered environmental fines was convicted of illegal trophy hunting here in Terrace nearly a decade ago. Norbert (Bob) Saulnier was ordered to pay $20,000 in fines – with $19,000 of that going to the Habitat Conservation Trust Fund – after pleading guilty in provincial court to 22 counts including guiding for game without a licence, allowing a licence to be used by another person, and possessing an animal/plant for unlawful transport/export. His name appears in Closing the Gap, a Dec. 2013 report released by the provincial environment ministry containing the names of individuals and businesses who have long overdue fines. Saulnier had been accused of illegally guiding three American hunters for big game all over the northwest, and aside from the $20,000 fine, he was also sentenced to six months in jail – the maximum term allowable under the BC Wildlife Act – and handed a 10-year-ban on hunting. Saulnier, who was 61 at the time, failed to appear at his August 2004 sentencing hearing – he had
moved to New Brunswick and told his defence counsel he was taking care of his ill father. His stated reason for not appearing was that he could not afford it. The provincial environmental crown prosecutor for the case, Ron Beram, told The Terrace Standard afterwards that the sentence deters people thinking of illegally guiding hunters in B.C., according to a news story from Sept. 1, 2004. “It sends a clear message that [illegal guiding] will not be tolerated and when [it happens], it's dealt with severely,” he said. But nearly a decade later, Saulnier's $20,000 fine still has not been paid, which is why his name is in the ministry of environment report. The statute of limitations on environmental court fees is 10 years. According to conservation officials, a warrant was issued for his arrest, but Saulnier fled and did not serve his six-month sentence. His whereabouts are unknown The ministry of environment report, current to Nov. 25, 2013 and released late last year, lists 155 individuals and businesses who owe a combined total of nearly $1.5 million in outstanding fines. The ministry has stated a goal of collecting 95 per cent of these overdue fines but does acknowledge some may not be collectable.

Civil suit filed against officer By Margaret Speirs A MAN who ended up brain injured after being arrested and hitting his head in police cells in April 2012 is suing the officer involved for damages. Robert Wright and his wife Heather PriskWright filed the civil lawsuit in Vancouver Supreme Court Jan. 17 against former Terrace RCMP Const. Brian Heideman. In the civil claim notice, it alleges that on April 21, 2012 Wright was pulled over on Legion Ave. in a police traffic stop. He was handcuffed and taken to the detachment cells and was directed to kneel on a concrete bench above the floor, the civil claim continues. “While kneeling on the bench, and in an uncomfortable position, the plaintiff (Wright) sought to reposition his legs and the defendant
Heideman violently, unexpectedly and negligently threw the plaintiff to the ground, causing the plaintiff’s head to strike a concrete bench, metal toilet and/or the cell floor, and causing the plaintiff to sustain injuries, the most significant of which was a traumatic brain injury and thereafter dragging the plaintiff across the cell floor while unconscious and kneeling on his backside... “The incident resulted in the plaintiff being assaulted, battered and/ or negligently injured by the defendant Heideman who used excessive and negligent amounts of force when dealing with the plaintiff. “As a result of the incident, the plaintiff suffered and will continue to suffer personal injuries, particulars of which are as follows: traumatic brain injury, lacerations to the head; injuries to head; neck
and or/back; various lacerations, abrasions and contusions; depression; anxiety; and other injuries and deficits.” In the suit, Wright is seeking general damages for pain, suffering and loss of enjoyment of life; special damages for medical expenses etc., damages for an “in trust” claim for PriskWright; damages for future wage loss and loss of earning capacity; for future care; for management fee; for tax gross up; interest pursuant to the Court Order Interest Act; aggravated, exemplary and/or punitive damages; costs; damages pursuant to the Health Care Costs Recovery Act and such further and other relief as the court deems fair. The suit also names the Province of B.C. as a defendant. An investigation into the incident was undertaken by New Westminster police officers. Provincial crown

In a five-page statement, provincial lawyers said they “concluded that there is not a substantial likelihood of any conviction for a criminal charge. The available evidence does
not establish that the force used by police in the incident went beyond what is legally permissible under the Criminal Code.” “Under Canadian criminal law, where a police officer’s use of force is lawful, the officer cannot be held criminally culpable for
injury or even death which may result from that use of force,” the statement continued. Heideman is now in Vernon, having been transferred there last year after being suspended and forfeiting eight days pay on a matter RCMP have yet to disclose.
rcmp continue to investigate the theft of items worth more than $20,000 from Mills Memorial Hospital last month. Terrace RCMP said a Samsung LED TV, a Dell model projector and a Polycom video conference unit were taken from the hospitals education room after someone broke into the room via a window at 11: 51 p.m. Dec. 7. Northern Health official Jonathon Dyck said the hospital is working on replacing the equipment and is working with the police on the investigation. The hospital does have video surveillance but in this incident, it could contribute nothing to the investigation, said Terrace RCMP Constable Angel Rabut.

Man charged with murder of northwestern BC teen By Tim Petruk
A MAN charged in connection with the 2012 murder in Kamloops of a northwestern BC teen is due back in court Jan. 27, 2014. Damien Lawrence Wayne Taylor, 22, has been charged with murder in relation to the death of his then-girlfriend, 16-year-old C.J. Fowler. Originally from the Hazeltons, Fowler had been living in Terrace. Taylor was taken into custody by members of the Kamloops RCMP detachment’s serious-crime unit in Kelowna, where he had been living, on Jan. 10, one day after a warrant had been issued for his arrest. Fowler’s body was found on Dec. 5, 2012. She was in Kamloops visiting friends, having travelled by bus from Terrace. Investigators have not said how Fowler was killed. The announcement of the arrest was made on Jan. 12, by Kam-
CJ Fowler loops RCMP Supt. Brad Mueller, who read a prepared statement and did not take questions. Fowler’s father, Glen Wilson, also read an emotional statement, flanked by Matilda Fowler, C.J.’s mother. Wilson said the two were in Kamloops on the weekend of the arrest to bless the location where Fowler’s body was located, but were then told by Mounties an arrest had been made. “When we were told, me and Matilda actually both sighed at the same time — a sigh of

relief, happiness,” Wilson said. “Matilda actually wanted to jump, dance and scream, but she was afraid that the camera was going, the microphone was going in the room [at the Kamloops RCMP detachment].” Wilson said the arrest brings some closure to Fowler’s family, which has struggled in the year since she was killed. “We prayed day and night, before we went to bed and before we got up in the morning,” he said. “Our prayers and thoughts have been answered Friday, when we were told. We’re just so overwhelmed at the work the Kamloops RCMP has done.” In his statement, Mueller took issue with “social media” critics who called out investigators for not working hard enough on Fowler’s case. “We have kept C.J.’s family a part of this investigation to make sure they always knew we were there,” Mueller
said. “Hopefully, those who were quick to castigate and criticize the RCMP . . . will now avail themselves to follow the truth and the facts of this case through the courts.” Taylor has a brief criminal history, including a handful of convictions in northern B.C. He was charged with robbery following an incident in Vanderhoof on Jan. 24, 2010, and later convicted of the lesser charge of theft under $5,000 and placed on a one-year probation term. In March 2012, Taylor was jailed for 15 days after pleading guilty to three breach charges in Prince George. Two months later, he pleaded guilty to another breach charge and two counts of possession of a controlled substance, all relating to incidents in Prince George. He was handed a jail sentence totaling 34 days. Police believe Taylor and Fowler had been involved in a dating relationship and that the two had travelled together to
Kamloops from Terrace. Taylor first appeared in court on Jan. 13. Story courtesy of Kamloops This Week.

Chamber takes Enbridge pulse By JOSH MASSEY
Terrace will soon know what its business community thinks of the proposed Enbridge Northern Gateway project. The Terrace and District Chamber of Commerce is conducting a survey to see if its members support the plan to build a twin 1,170 kilometre pipeline to ship Alberta crude to a marine export terminal at Kitimat. A list of questions is currently being drafted to send to the chamber's 287 members, many of whom are local business owners. The survey is in line with a plan adopted by the chamber two years ago. In February 2012, just after Terrace city council voted to oppose Northern Gateway, the chamber executive released a letter saying that while it took a neutral stance to the pipeline project until the review panel had released its report, it did welcome new industry to the area. The chamber board also wrote a letter to Enbridge saying it would maintain a neutral stance on the project until a decision was reached by the federal joint review panel charged with heading the public consultation segment of the environmental assessment. The joint review panel in December recommended to the federal government that it approve Northern Gateway as long as it could meet 209 conditions. The chamber plans to release the survey to its members by early February, according to executive director Carol Fielding. Fielding thinks chamber members are divided over whether to support the controversial Enbridge project. She noted that a presentation from Enbridge vice president Janet Holder before the December

The chamber board's 2012 decision had followed Terrace city council's resolution to oppose the project getting passed with a 5 to 2 vote in February of 2012. The open letter, addressed to Northern Gateway and other in-
vestors, said that, as the “voice of business” the chamber was “very concerned with the latest position of our city council.” While Terrace city council is opposed, the Kitimat council decided some years ago to remain neutral pending the release of the joint review panel review. But Kitimat council recently passed a resolution to conduct a plebiscite within the community to determine how many residents
Season affects jobs numbers Seasonal employment conditions were reflected in December's jobs total for the northwest compared to November. Based on Statistics Canada data, there were 38,400 people working in the region in December, a drop from 40,000 in November. But if the number of people working dropped, so did the available workforce from 42,100 in November to 40,900 in December. The workforce total contains those who are working as well as those who consider themselves part of the labour market and are looking for work. The number of people who considered themselves unemployed crept up from 2,100 in November to 2,500 in December. As a result, the unemployment rate rose in December to 6.1 per cent from 5 per cent in November. Despite the increase, the overall jobs picture in the northwest is brighter given that the unemployment rate in December 2012 was 8.2 per cent.
But the number of people who considered themselves part of the workforce, whether employed or not, was also higher in December 2012 and the number of people who were unemployed was also higher. The northwest's December 2013 jobless rate was the fourth lowest of any region in B.C., behind the Lower Mainland's 5.7 per cent, the 4.5 per cent in the Cariboo and the 4.7 per cent in northeastern B.C. In B.C. overall, the number of people working in December increased by 16,000 over November. The northwest jobless rate is not the number of people collecting Employment Insurance. Instead it is based on interviews of people from the north coast to just this side of Vanderhoof who consider themselves as part of the workforce whether they are employed or not. And that means the jobless rate can reflect how people feel about their own employment prospects.
support or don't support the project. The plebiscite takes place Saturday, April 12, with advance polls on April 2 and 9. The Kitimat council has already decided on the question it will ask: "Do you support the final report recommendations of the Joint Review Panel of the Canadian Environmental Assessment Authority and the National Energy Board, that the Enbridge Northern Gateway project be approved subject to
209 conditions set out in Volume 2 of the JRP's Final Report?" Kitimat councillors also debated adding other questions involving Northern Gateway to determine if opinion on the pipeline would change if it was linked to an oil refinery and whether people are more concerned about the pipeline or crude-carrying tankers. Kitimat municipal officials are expected to prepare the wording of the questions for discussion soon.
‘Huge’ December for Terrace/Kitimat airport PASSENGER traffic at the Northwest Regional Airport in 2013 set another record by significantly soaring past 2012's total. To the end of December 2013, 177,294 passenger movements were recorded, a 27 per cent increase over the 139,193 total for 2012, airport manager Carman Hendry reported today. He was particularly impressed with December 2013 alone – 18,182 passenger movements compared to 10,710 in December 2012. “That's a 69.7 per cent increase,” said Hendry. “It was huge. We had a lot of construction workers going out. “And you'll recall we had some missed flights [in December 2013]. There were some very windy days.” If the number of passengers using the airport has climbed, so have the number of vehicles being parked at the facility. “We had 581 vehicles in our lot Christmas Eve,” said Hendry. He's predicting 2014 to be very busy as well based on the Rio Tinto Alcan $3.5 billion Kitimat aluminum smelter reconstruction project now in full swing.
The project workforce was steadily increased over 2013 leading to a scheduled completion later this year. “I still don't think it has peaked,” said Hendry of the project activity. He's predicting an increase in construction worker traffic in and out of the airport because the shift scheduling at Rio Tinto Alcan's smelter project has changed. Workers there are now spending 20 days on the job followed by eight days off, meaning that those who live elsewhere now have a longer period of time in which to go back home. Airport passenger traffic has been steadily growing as regional economic conditions have improved. In 2009, the airport recorded 107,996 passenger movements, a figure that dropped slightly in 2010 before growing to 120,384 in 2011 and increasing again to 139,193 in 2013. If 2013 set a record for a calendar year, Hendry has high hopes for a record for the 2013 fiscal year when began April 1, 2013 and ends March 31, 2014. “I'm suggesting we could be at 185,000 [passengers],” he said.

Hub city IT’S A rare day in Terrace when there isn’t a sighting of at least one of Valard’s baby blue pickup trucks. At last count the main contractor working on BC Hydro’s Northwest Transmission Line had more than 200 trucks in the area, a sign of fullon work leading up to the scheduled completion in late spring of the region’s largest-ever public sector construction project. Revelations of cost overruns brought on by project add-ons, unanticipated construction challenges and the like aside, the transmission line brought badly needed income and jobs to the area. The transmission line is also the foundation for more development north of here for it will provide the power for at least one mine, Red Chris, also due to open late this spring. And it will transmit power to the provincial grid from run-of-river projects owned by AltaGas. While the Northwest Transmission Line work may be coming to a close, BC Hydro is going to continue its construction activity in the area by replacing the aging 287kv transmission line between Terrace and Kitimat with at least one and possibly two new lines of the same size. Although not as extensive as the Northwest Transmission Line, this work will provide an additional economic stimulus to the area as the decade progresses. With one major line running north and at least one new line running south, Terrace’s role as a regional hub will continue. ESTABLISHED APRIL 27, 1988

Better patient care needed
innipeg’s Grace Hospital may be solving two problems at once as they discharge elderly emergency room patients in the wee hours of frigid nights sending them home alone by cab. Though emptying emergency room beds, if a few of these seniors freeze to death the demand for senior housing is reduced. Twice in recent weeks the hospital has discharged after midnight elderly emergency room patients medically unfit for discharge with deadly results. December 31 David Silver was sent home in a cab by himself at 2:30 a.m. wearing pyjamas and slippers. The temperature was -37°C. Fifteen hours later the 78-year-old was found on his porch frozen to death. Two days earlier another elderly patient sent home from Grace’s emergency room in a cab also in the early hours was found next forenoon by neighbours frozen to death in front of his home. Winnipeg hospitals have a mounting history of treating patients inhumanely. In January 2012 a Winnipeg

CLAUDETTE SANDECKI woman died on her doorstep after being sent home in a cab from Seven Oaks General Hospital. An inquest was called into her death to examine hospital policy for discharging patients. Whatever the inquest’s findings, they appear not to have improved outcomes for others. For months in 2013 a coroner’s inquiry was conducted into the death of 43-year-old Brian Sinclair, a poor, transient aboriginal double amputee who had been admitted to Health Sciences Centre for his kidney condition 34 times prior to his last visit September 19, 2008. He was left sitting in his
wheelchair for 34 hours without ever being triaged by a nurse or doctor, despite the bustling room and several civilians calling attention to him. He had been dead for ten hours and rigour mortis had set in when a security officer reported him dead. No chart had ever been created for him. How could any Canadian hospital treat patients so heartlessly? The Sinclair inquest is to consider questions such as: Is there a morale or stress problem at the HSC Emergency Department that causes medical staff to be indifferent about certain patients? Are there proper accountability mechanisms in place when people do a bad job, and if not, does the lack of accountability increase the risk of bad health outcomes in the first place? What accounts for the apparent lack of empathy in this case, and how widespread is it? Is there any appreciation for the fact that vulnerable people need more affirmative and proactive care in the emergency department, or is
S TANDARD
there instead an attitude that certain kinds of people are less worthy of care than others? Part 2 of the Sinclair inquest, to begin February 2014, is intended to look at some of the systemic factors concerning treatment of patients in emergency departments and what can be done to prevent similar deaths in the future. Manitoba’s health minister proposes to put the onus on cab drivers to escort discharged patients safely to their front doors. Understandably, the cab drivers are rejecting this notion. They are not medically trained to administer emergency care if the need arose; they likely wouldn’t be paid extra to devote ten or fifteen minutes to escorting a patient to his door; cab drivers are not insured to take on this responsibility. Perhaps Social Services and Health should cooperatively fund a new volunteer service of adult trained sitters who could be on call to escort live-alone patients safely from the hospital to their empty houses, make sure heat was on, and the home otherwise comfortable.

But if the NDP was to form government, where would these newly-trained people work, as the NDP is opposed to all of the projects that would supply the necessary employment. With that kind of logic it is not hard to understand what happened in the last B.C. and federal elections. The silent majority in B.C. and in Canada elected governments that ran on a platform that would focus on jobs and the economy. This is absolutely necessary if our country is to remain economically stable and it is time to get on with creating the necessary jobs. No more time should be wasted trying to appeal to unrealistic fringe protest groups. The statement made in Smithers two weeks ago by a member of the Green party that he was happy that the NEWPRO plant had to shut down confirms just how out of touch with reality

market conditions are forcing the closure of the Northern Engineered Wood Products (NEWPRO) facility in Smithers. It manufactures particleboard and melamine decor products. some of these people really are. Any delay in the start of proposed LNG projects will result in higher costs for those projects and lost revenue for the government. Coupled with a steady decline in revenue from the forest industry due to the mountain pine beetle epidemic, this would eventually lead to high-
er personal taxes or a cutback in governmentfunded services that a lot of us appear to take for granted. If the government was to continue to supply these services with borrowed money it would eventually bankrupt our country as has been the case in many countries in Europe. And if the truth were allowed to come out
it would show that the United States is very close to bankruptcy as well. The proud city of Detroit that was once the shining star of the USA economy is now officially bankrupt and has no money to run the city. It would be great if we never had to cut down another tree or drill another oil well, but we don’t live in
a fantasy world and something has to pay the bills. I hope that some positive solution can be found that will result in operations being able to continue at the NEWPRO mill in Smithers as I know how important it is for the workers that rely on this to support their families. Brian Mould, Terrace, B.C.
Blessed to have friends Dear Sir: Everyone has their own expectations of what a true friend is. Some of the biggest expectations that I have for a friend are to never leave me, hurt me, and always be there for me when I need them. Friends are the stars in your life that help you realize so many of life’s outcomes. For some people friends help you realize your dreams and who you were meant to be. They can offer support to help you realize your goals. They can help you accomplish activities that you didn’t even know you could do. But most importantly they never give up on your friendship, they hang on through all of the ups or the downs because they have you to believe in and hold on to. Whenever bullies have you in a corner and you feel so alone that you question yourself and life, friends are there to pick you up and tell you “Hey, you are worth it.” It really isn’t hard to find a friend. If you’re all alone on the playground and you see someone alone looking like they need a friend; just walk up to them and say hello. This greeting is the start to many friendships and relationships. If you have a dream don’t let anyone change your mind or tell you it’s impossible. Just keep on rolling on the highway of life with your friends, family and some teachers by your side. Never lose sight of your goal. You can make it. One day you and your friends will see all of your dreams come alive in front of your eyes. Kimberley Wilson, Terrace, B.C.

‘Taxpayer’ label breeds unneeded tensions
ew labels irritate me more than that of being referred to as a taxpayer, and of having the money governments spend referred to as taxpayers’ dollars. From the wealthiest tycoon to the most destitute homeless beggar in Vancouver’s downtown eastside, every person in this country pays taxes – no exceptions. When I purchase a single carrot at the farmers’ market, what I pay to the vendor includes contributions to the property tax levied on the land on which the carrot was grown, and to sales and income taxes levied in the production and sale of the garden utensils the farmer used to grow that carrot. The taxes I pay on that carrot are indirect and the amount is infinitely small, but they are nonetheless paid. The dictionary defines taxes as the “rate or sum of money assessed on a citizen’s person, property, or activity for the sup-
port of government, levied upon assets or real property, upon income, or upon the sale or purchase of goods.” Referring to taxpayers’ dollars in a debate about government programs and services is senseless, as the only kind of money government at any level has to spend is money collected as a tax. The powers of governments to impose taxes, which include royalties, fees, charges and other levies, and the means of their collection, are limited only by their politics and their imaginations. Governments have it within their powers and discretion to impose charges in any form, by any name, on any activity or asset and by whatever rationale or yardstick they may choose. Every dollar spent by a government is a dollar raised by a government by way of taxation. The purpose of democratic governments is to provide programs and services for the benefit of citizens. These programs and services are not paid for by
g u e s t c o mm e n t
ANDRE CARREL governments, they are paid for by citizens – by all of us. These revenue and expenditure principles apply to democratic governments at every level: federal, provincial, and municipal. We all contribute to the cost of sending a plow truck down my residential street at five in the morning just as we all contribute
to the cost of using a big airliner to fly the Prime Minister and his invited guests to South Africa to attend Nelson Mandela’s funeral. That one government is municipal and the other federal is irrelevant. References to taxpayers suggest that some people work hard and contribute to the common good while a lazy bunch of others get a free ride. The taxpayer and taxpayers’ dollar labels fuel resentment in some people. Their use is meant to instill the lazy ones with feelings of guilt. This leads to tensions which provide an excuse to abandon weaker members in our society to their own devices. The resulting social stratification is exploited by ideologues who see themselves as protectors of the good, as the taxpayers’ guardians. History teaches us that the health and vitality of a democratic nation is sustained by equality and by fairness in the allocation
of and access to the common good. Margaret Thatcher’s assertion that people need to rely on their own devices raises questions as to the purpose of government. Her denial of society’s very existence is as extreme a position as is Karl Marx’s call for wealth to flow “From each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs.” Both are ideological extremes and as such are a strain on the health and vitality of a democratic society. We are citizens and we all contribute to the common good. The taxpayer and tax dollar labels contribute nothing to our politics. These labels are not only meaningless, they are harmful distractions because they divert our attention away from where it should be focused: on those we elect to administer our common good.

But he did acknowledge that certain supporters of the pipeline have become more vocal since a federal panel late last month recommended that the federal cabinet approve the project, subject to 209 conditions. “I think people in Vancouver who work at a pipeline company are starting to be more vocal, but I think people up here will not see any real lasting jobs and will risk thousands of jobs, so the tradeoff doesn’t make sense,” Herbert said. “The govPLEASE READ THE FINE PRINT: Offers valid until January 31, 2014.

ONE OF the strongest cases pipeline opponents can make against Enbridge’s Northern Gateway pipeline is an economic one, says NDP provincial environment critic Spencer Chandra Herbert, who was in Terrace last week while on a northwestern tour. “The local economy is stronger without the Enbridge pipeline and all of its risks,” Herbert said. “This area’s known as an incredible area for wilderness tourism, for fishing, for all of those kinds of things that have drawn people here and kept people here. You have to respect that economy rather than saying we’ll give you the equivalent of one or two McDonald’s in terms of jobs and risk all of that.” This is the first time Herbert has been in Terrace since becoming his party’s environment critic following last

Council approves Bench subdivision plan IT took a transformed housing market and a slightly revised building plan, but above all it was the support of nearby property owners that enabled developer Emil Wirtl to win over city council to the idea of granting a zoning amendment for his nine-acre parcel at 5034 McConnell Ave. on the bench. Two other developers, Jim Almgren and Vance Hadley, attended the public hearing last night to vouch for the fact that subdividing large lots is necessary in Terrace to keep up with housing demand, though Hadley acknowledged the challenges of doing so. Wirtl also had six residents sign a letter he submitted to the city in support of his plan to seek the bylaw amendment that would change the RR1 rural residential classification to the R1 single family residential, thus enabling him to put in 16 to 20 new building lots. An attempt by Wirtl in 2012 to subdivide the property was turned down by council in the face of neighbour opposition. “I am a better prepared this time,” said Wirtl in his address to council. “This time I went to see quite a number of property owners ... so I hope to be more successful this time around.” And successful he was. Council voted unanimously to accept the staff recommendation and adopt the amendment to the zoning bylaw Wirtl sought. Wirtl told council that the two corner lots facing McConnell would have 90 feet of frontage and the others between 72 and 75 feet. This plan to make the lots larger seemed to please Dave Cater, who lives beside Wirtl’s property, and spoke out against the plan when it was introduced and voted down by council in 2012. “It’s great that Wirtl said the exact size and that you have a plan to have the property owners involved ... that’s what we are after,” said Cater, who said he has considered subdividing but wants to keep his property intact. Beginning to subdivide that area of McConnell and north of it on
the Bench means neighbours have to work together, mainly because new road access would be necessary, those at the meeting were told. A network of potential roads was discussed for that area north of
McConnell between Kalum Lake Dr. and Thomas St. Both Cater and the other adjacent property owner Wayne Kirby said they are trying to figure how the subdivisions might affect their
property and the community. “We bought that property because of the RR1 designation, we like the size of it. Wirtl can do to the property what he wants as long as it fits within the city
plan, but what I don’t understand is what is the city plan? ... What is the city going to do about traffic flow as that area builds up?” “Your concerns are certainly those that we are facing as a council
as well,” said mayor Dave Pernarowski. Director of development services David Block said the city is looking to phase out the RR1 zone altogether, which is the zoning for large rural-
type parcels, to encourage more smaller lot developments. That’s in keeping with Terrace’s Official Community Plan, but owners of land already designated as such would not be forced to subdivide.

2014 Infiniti Q50 challenges the old order Infiniti has had a bit of an identity crisis over the past year with a wholesale change in the way it names its products. Gone is the JX crossover, it’s called the QX60 now and the G 37 sedan has been replaced with the Q50 sedan. Q signifies for cars and QX for crossovers or SUVs. The outgoing G37 was already a very worthy on-road performer but a bit too simplistic in the inside. Now, Infiniti has taken things up a notch with the Q50, adding a dynamic look, sumptuous interior and class leading technology. Looks It could be argued that the current BMW 3 Series and Mercedes C-Class are a bit conservative, while this Q50 and the major competitor, Lexus IS, are much edgier. This is especially true with the front grille. The rest of the Q50 is nicely sculpted, with flowing lines and an almost elegant rear end. Sold as a base model, sport trim, all wheel drive (AWD), premium, and even a hybrid, there is a broad market for this sedan. Starting at $37,500 and ramping up to the AWD sport model at $49,950, there is a substantial discount with the Q50 when you compare it to a similarly equipped BMW. The base model comes with 17-inch wheels but most of the higher trim levels are equipped with 19-inch wheels. The car seen here is the AWD premium model starting at $43,400. Inside The Q50 centre console is very attractive with two screens placed for radio functions and the second for the

handling dynamics. On price, the BMW 328i AWD is the closest and starts at $46,200 but is equipped with a 241hp 4-cylinder. The direct competitor on power is the much more expensive 335is AWD. The Lexus IS350 AWD is another premium offering from Japan, and it starts at a very competitive $44,000. As much as the Japanese automakers like to challenge the German makers, they really end up competing with each other. Yes, this is a worthy car but the one thing you cannot factor into the buying decision is the badge appeal that storied brands like Mercedes, BMW and Audi provide.
What is your favourite brand of car and what model specifically do you like? Please explain why you have made that decision.

Safety Tip: When extreme winter road conditions hit, it’s a good idea to think about whether you even need to get behind the wheel. If you have the option, consider public transit or carpool with some who has a vehicle prepared for the conditions. Also consider leaving for work just a little later to allow crews to clear the roads.

Veritas ‘unplugs’ so others can plug in By MARGARET SPEIRS Veritas students and teachers are going “unplugged” for one week to help raise money for students who have no electronic devices. For one year, Veritas Grade 7 teacher Trina Botelho is teaching English, basic business and social skills, such as taking notes and answering phones, to women ages 18 to 25 at the Don Bosco school in Phnom Penh, Cambodia where she lives with the students and the Salesian nuns, who also teach there. “She wanted to go on some kind of mission work,” says Linda Reinbolt, one of the unplugged organizers. Botelho got word back to the school here that the Cambodian school has no electronics at all, so, for Catholic Education Week, Feb. 3 to 6, the Veritas staff and students decided to raise money to buy the school a TV, says Reinbolt. The goal is to raise awareness about how other students live without all the electronic devices we have. At school on the first day, students will attend assembly in the gym and Botelho will Skype in to talk to them and tell them about her day. And one day that week will be Cambodian school day where students will say their prayers in front of a Cambodian flag, clean the school and have a simple day using basic school supplies, like students without electronics do. Veritas students will be encouraged to unplug their electronic devices at night and spend time with their families, such as playing board games, to see what it’s like for students without electronics. And their parents are encouraged to come in and have lunch with their children at school and bring cards or books for an electronics-free lunch. Students are asking for donations and the goal is to raise $1 per student, says Reinbolt. “Our school is always generous in that way,” says Reinbolt. A specific goal amount hasn’t been set as they’re not sure what a TV will cost. And students will be able to win prizes, which are items that Botelho has sent from Cambodia.

Wolverines attack basketball court after school With the goal of getting kids active and involved, a small group of dedicated individuals with a passion for sports has started an afterschool basketball program for students ages 11 to 18 at Suwilaawks Community School. Fred (Sebbie) Wilson, coach and organizer of the program, along with a small, yet committed, group of parents wish to keep basketball active for all youths in Terrace. The goals are simple: to have fun, learn the game, practise sportsmanship, and develop habits to promote healthy and successful living. The target ages of participation are 11 to 18, but there may be room to expand to offer this active enterprise to all ages. Practices are underway to develop and enhance skills for
basketball and a house league is being established. Many of the youths come from diverse First Nations within our region: Tsimshian, Haisla, Nisga’a, Gitxsan, Tahltan, Métis, along with non-aboriginals as all young people are encouraged to participate and be active. Both girls and boys teams, nicknamed Wolverines, participated in last spring’s Junior All Native Tournament hosted by the Nisga’a Nation with both teams experiencing the rigours and excitement of basketball at a competitive level. The 2014 season is well underway and the tournament teams plan on attending the Junior All Native tournament held this year in Kamloops during school spring break. Parents and players are urged
to come out and give some much needed encouragement and support to fundraising efforts to assist in the existence of the group and to aid the participation of the spring break tournament. Practices are Monday and Wednesday at the Suwilaawks Community School gym: girls at 4:30 p.m. and boys at 5:30 p.m., and Fridays at Skeena Middle School gym: girls at 5:30 p.m. and boys at 7 p.m. New participants are always welcome. The Ministry of Education Afterschool School Sports Initiative, JUMPSTART community support, TDCSS, Suwilaawks Community School and Spectra Energy have all teamed up to establish practice facilities, uniforms, and equipment to ensure our youths are actively involved in sports.

Legion gears up for bonspiel Terrace’s Legion kicks off the new year with lots of activities, including its annual bonspiel, darts night, 8-Ball and crib. The Legion in Terrace left 2013 behind on a high note. The Choir night held in December was an extremely successful event with everyone in attendance having a fun-filled evening. The New Year was ushered in by a full house and many thanks go to the staff and volunteers who showed up for their service and efficiency.
As the New Year begins, the Executive and membership of Branch #13 would like to express their sincere thanks to the citizens of Terrace and area, our sister organizations and especially the businesses who have supported us last year and throughout the years with personal involvement, man hours and donations. Despite the wet and chill on the 14th, a quorum was present for the first meeting of the year and reports were heard from outgoing committees.
The 59th Annual Legion Curling Bonspiel is well in hand with 18 teams already registered. This ‘spiel has always been known for its fun and its prizes and this year the prizes are more and better than ever. There are even flights from Terrace to Vancouver available to some of the lucky winners of events. The Thursday night drop in darts is escalating in popularity – so members and bona fide guests grab your darts and come join the fun.
If you’re interested in competing at the Zone level, there will be a playoff in the Branch in February and the winners can travel on to Smithers for Zone playoffs. Winners there will go on to Chilliwack for Provincials and Orleans, Ontario for National finals. Zone playoffs for 8-Ball and crib will be held in the Branch on Feb. 15/16 with the winners of those events headed to Provincials in Powell River for 8-Ball and Revelstoke for crib. Winners from Pro-
vincial can look forward to competing in North Bay, Ontario for Crib and Tecumseh Ontario for 8-Ball. These are just a very few of the things that Legion members have the opportunity to participate in. You too could be involved. Applications for membership are available at the Branch. It is an awesome feeling to be a part of giving back even a little bit to those who gave so much for us. We Will Remember Them.

Marjorie Loraine Goodlad (nee English) Nov. 28, 1921 - Jan. 13, 2014 Mom passed away peacefully after a long, full life, with her son Norman at her side. She was predeceased by her husband, Rupert and her daughter, Barbara (Sheridan). Mom is survived by her children Norman (Ella), Leona (Fred), Debra, her seven grandchildren, Tonya (Ian), Melanie (Mike), Sandra (Thilo), Matt (Angela), Darin (Natalie), Jodie (Bob), Avery, ten great-grandchildren, her nieces and nephews. Marge was born in Vanguard, Saskatchewan to Robert and Mary English. After the death of her father, the family moved to Vancouver where Marge met and married Rupert William Goodlad. The young couple established a home and started their family in Prince Rupert (where Dad was born) after World War II. They moved to Terrace in 1954. A long-time resident of Terrace, Mom was an enthusiastic advocate for the town and remained very interested in its growth and development all her life. She fondly remembered her prairie roots, sharing her memories of early days in Vanguard including the name of her favorite horse, swinging on the neighbor’s gate and her pride in the important role her father played in the community. Marge worked at Skeenaview (now Terraceview Lodge) for twenty-four years, retired in 1984, and continued the strong friendships she made there. She was active in the BC Government Employees Union and BCGREA. Retirement allowed her to spend more time with her family and friends, travel, garden and play a more active role in her church. She had an extremely strong work ethic and remained busy and engaged all of the time. Mom was a valued and dedicated member of Knox United Church, contributing her time, crafts and baking. She drew strength, comfort and support from the church and developed very strong friendships in the congregation, and especially within the Beulah Group. Mom made everyone welcome in her home, loved to share a good laugh with good company and was always ready to help. Mom was proud of the garden she and Dad created together and was happy when it gave pleasure to others. Her roses always stopped passers-by and led to friendly chats and bouquets. Mom treasured her family most, supporting us in every way possible. She always had time and special treats for her much-loved grandchildren. She loved being surrounded by the warmth of family. Her nieces and nephews have remained caring and devoted throughout her life. She was very proud of all of us. Mom’s legacy of love, hard work and devotion will remain as an inspiration to us all. We are grateful for the care and support she received from her friends and the caregivers at McConnell Estates. She will be deeply missed.

Survived by her three daughters Suzy (Andy), Dawn (Paul) and Cindy (Armando), her five grandsons, Kalen, Lucas, Benjamin, Joshua and Aquiles and her only great grandson, Brayden. We miss you terribly already Mom and hope we inherited just a little of the strength and independence you were so well known to possess. We take peace in the knowledge that your spirit is now free of the pain you endured for so many years. We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to all the staff at Terrace View Lodge for the gentle, professional care provided to Mom in her final days. A private celebration of life will be arranged at a future date and we ask that in lieu of flowers, donations to the Salvation Army would be appreciated.

River Kings sitting pretty By JOE PELLETIER The Terrace River Kings enter the CIHL in a very different position than they ever have in the past. The perennial underdogs enter the playoffs red hot and may be the favourites to win the Central Interior Hockey League championship. The River Kings finished 1st in the West Division with an impressive 12-5-1 record for 25 points. The Coy Cup champion Williams Lake Stampeders were the only team in the whole league to finish higher than the River Kings. The Kings have ridden the hot goaltending of Garrett Muir all season. He posted an 8-3-1 record with a 3.02 goals against average and .910 save percentage – mindboggling numbers by CIHL standards. He will almost certainly be named as the best goalie in the entire league this season. In the past the River Kings have had a pop gun offense but this year they have exploded with 97 goals in 18 games. They are led by a healthy Josh Murray, who returned to forward this season and scored 16 goals and 36 points. That was the third highest total in the entire league. The University of Alabama-Huntsville alum has made all the difference this year with his great play. Terrace does have a balanced attack. Brother Tristan Murray added 22 points, as did newcomer Ben Reinbolt. Reinbolt’s play really opened the ice up for others before an injury sidelined him. He had an impressive 11 goals and 22 points in 12 games. Calen Findlay nicely found his game this season while veterans Derek Jurista and captain Steve Cullis remain reliable options for

The River Kings are looking confident heading into the CIHL playoffs at the end of the month. new coach Rob Findlay. The blue line is young and mobile, though does not threaten as much offensively. The late season infusion of Lee Muir on defense does keep his eligibility for the playoffs alive. He is a dynamic player that gives Terrace another threat offensively. The Kings have also played very disciplined hockey all season, taking the fewest penalty minutes in the whole league. Their specialty team play has been strong all season as well. The River Kings are a young
team with a strong core that have really found their stride this season. Can they keep their momentum rolling into the playoffs? They offer an entertaining brand of hockey on the local scene. February promises to be an exciting month for hockey with the Sochi Olympics and all, but let’s not forget to support the local team. The River Kings open the playoffs on the road in Prince Rupert this weekend. Games 2 and, if necessary 3, will be played in Terrace the following weekend. The Rampage finished with an inconsistent
7-10-1 record but played the River Kings well this season. Aside from a 10-1 Terrace blowout, the games were close – though Rupert won only one head-to-head matchup. The Rampage’s dynamic duo of Kory Movold and Brock Ward will try to counter Terrace’s balanced line up. The rest of the CIHL playoff brackets are set, with one big asterisk. Defending CIHL champion Smithers Steelheads will play the Kitimat Ice Demons in the other West showdown. Smithers contin-
ues to struggle to find a full roster, though the players they do have are of the highest pedigree. Mind you former NHL goalie Michael Wall has been playing defense this season, evening the playing field. Kitimat has been a team in unusual disarray but can strike at any time. The Williams Lake Stampeders play the Lac La Hache Tomahawks and Quesnel Millionaires play the Houston Luckies. As of this article’s publishing deadline, there was significant concern about the future of the Houston Luckies franchise. They no-showed for a set of games in Kitimat recently due to a lack of players. They also have cancelled their trip back to the Cariboo to play previously missed games in Williams Lake and Lac La Hache due to their bus breaking down. There is serious concern as to whether the Luckies have enough players and have enough money to make a go of the rest of the season. If they can’t, expect Lac La Hache to likely take their playoff spot. The River Kings have kept quiet about the possibility of extending their season beyond the CIHL playoffs so far. They had a strong showing at the 2013 Coy Cup, British Columbia’s AA senior provincial championship. They should find themselves well positioned to qualify for the 2014 tourney. Williams Lake automatically is in as this year’s host, leaving three spots open. The only non CIHL team rumoured to be interested in attending is the Fort Nelson Yeti, who actually play in an Alberta league. Joe Pelletier is a freelance writer based in Terrace, B.C.

Peaks roll out welcome mat for home meet The Terrace Peaks Gymnastics Club hosted their annual meet two weekends ago, with clubs from Kitimat and Smithers joining the Terrace club at the gym. Aside from providing an opportunity for more seasoned gymnasts to test their skills, the event marked the first official meet for the majority of the club’s Gymstart group (ages five and six). It was also the level one club’s first competition in the provincial stream after competing in the Gymstart program last year. Gymnasts in the Gymstart program are Maia Bee, Hanna Lees, Kimberly Lewis, Lily Macdonald, Suzanne Lombard and Maddi Ireland. They all competed in Gymstart level 1 Skills and Physical abilities, receiving certificates and medals. Five athletes competed in Provincial 1. P1 Argo: Morgan Ireland, Amanda Yoo, who placed third overall, Savannah Medieros and
Ella Almgren. This was their first competition in the Provincial stream after competing in the Gymstart Program last year. And in P1 Tyro, Terrace’s Dawson Lewis placed first overall. And five athletes competed in the Provincial 2 category, with Maia Guerierro placing first overall, and Charlize Bretherick placing third overall in P2 Argo. In P2 Tyro, Maya Ebeling placed second overall and Ashlee Monsen placing third overall. In P3 Tyro, Ann Zettler placed third overall. The Interclub team, the club’s advanced recreational group, competed as well. “This was the second year we had our Interclub team compete and they all did very well,” said coach Ambra Marak. The club’s next meet is Omega in Coquitlam at the end of the month, with the BC Provincials Championships happening after that in Kamloops.

Bright future for girls’ hockey The seeds have been planted for the next crop of northwest female hockey players, with the novice/atom girls team already taking shape and looking to grow together over the next four or five years. Coach Brad Andersen's team of nineand 10-year-olds is made up of players from Terrace, Kitimat and Prince Rupert, and the potential is there to have them rival, or maybe even surpass, the success of long-time coach Mario Desjardins' team of girls who made history last year as bantams, winning provincial tournaments all season and dominating championship games. “These girls coming up ... they're all really even in talent,” said Andersen of his team, noting that it's an added benefit that

they're already playing together at such a young age. Late last year the team faced off against a Peewee team from Hazelton here in Terrace. “I put the team together that I think should be the team for the next four or five years,” said Andersen, of that game’s roster. And the team performed outstandingly, winning 12-2 and showcasing strong skating skills. “It was pretty impressive,” he said. Especially impressive is the team's second year novice goalie, Elly Lowe, from Prince Rupert, one of the four players picked up from Prince Rupert. “She's an exceptional goalie,” said Andersen. “Her dad was a goalie, he played
efore Christmas, I skied across the Copper River Flats. With newly fallen snow covering the deep ruts inflicted on the land by vandals on recreation vehicles the landscape was still, sombre, but beautiful. The trail across the swamp wasn’t frozen hard yet, so Oona and I took the branch that connects with the hilly roadway that parallels the highway. At several places tracks, almost obscured by the new snow, marked spots where a fox had crossed in search of the hares. We turned and followed the dike. A truck moaned in the distance. I came upon the tracks of a small moose, possibly a young bull. I was happy to see them. Moose sign is rare in the Copper Valley these days. Fields of red osier dogwood, high but not cropped close as they used to be, had me thinking of moose just after we’d set out earlier in the day. This guy will eat well, I thought. As I turned west and neared the river, I noticed a shape in Channel 3. Peering through the curtain of softly falling snow was like trying to see through gauze. At first, I thought it was stump the river deposited there, but that didn’t make sense since there hadn’t been a high water event with the force to do that since last spring. Closer still, I noticed a long branch extending from the trunk of the stump. It was bent and quivering. It’s a fisherman, Oona, I said to the dog
junior, major junior... he was a pretty high end goalie and now you can see it in his daughter. “She'll be the best girl goalie up here coming up in her age,” he said. “If she stays with it she's going to be really good.” The team is also putting its efforts towards anti-bullying initiatives. Andersen is also the coach for Skeena Middle School's hockey academy, and connected to parent-academy Pacific Rim Hockey Academy's anti-bullying efforts. He and his wife, Nikki, bought each team member a pink anti-bullying t-shirt for Christmas, and the girls played a game wearing the shirts overtop of their jerseys to show support for national anti-bullying day on Feb. 27.

T errace ’ s Caleb Brousseau, 24, is one step closer to Sochi, spending last weekend at his second world competition of the year at Copper Mountain in Colorado before the official Olympic team is announced Caleb Brousseau in February. The para-alpine athlete finished top 10 in all of his events at his first world competition of the season, in Panorama, B.C. earlier this month with a best finish of 7th in Downhill. Brosseau injured himself snowboarding in 2007, but didn’t let that derail his athletic dreams, quickly taking on sit-skiing and becoming one of the top paralympic athletes in the country. This year and last have been all about preparing for the Paralympic Games, taking place March 7 to 16 in Sochi, Russia. Brousseau says he and his teammates spent all summer dryland training in Whistler, where he lives when he’s not competing. “This year we’ve been non-stop,” he said. “I’m feeling pretty good about it.” And although the pre-season push was big, before the season officially began he got to take a break here at home with his family and friends, skiing Shames Mountain for about a week. “Each and every day was powder,” he said, noting it was especially welcome because last season living in Whistler he only had about 10 powder days in total. Brousseau has a Facebook page called Skiing with Caleb Brousseau that he’ll be updating regularly, and The Terrace Standard will be following his journey, as well.
and hunt for the few elusive silver steelhead that return to the shrunken river in the New Year. I was hungrier for steelhead than Finlay. Finlay was just as happy to contact char as steelhead. While I raced about experimenting with lines that sank at different speeds, Fin fished like Phil had been and caught as many fish, sometimes more fish, never worried about snagging the bottom, and quietly enjoyed the delight of casting a floating line. Eventually I gave up on the technological approach and joined him. I haven’t seen you for an age. Thought you’d moved, I said to Phil. No. Still here. But I work in the oil patch for 6 to 8 months at a time. How’s that? Good money. Hard work, Phil answered. He went on to describe some facets of the giant industrial miasma in Northern Alberta. We talked until we were forced to move by the cold wind that had started to blow just after I reached the river. I’m happy to meet you and happy you’re still in town, I said We wished each other a Merry Christmas and parted. On my way back to Lavergne Road, I kept thinking about the massive amount of waste water that Phil told me was produced by the drilling. It obviously troubled, him, and it began to trouble me. I made a note to myself to investigate it. To be continued…
