Kitselas, Enbridge ink power deal By anna killen Kitselas First Nation, Enbridge, and a geothermal exploration company have signed a deal that could see a power-producing geothermal plant built in the Mount Layton hot springs area. A first step was to pay $100,000 to the province earlier this year for the exclusive subsurface rights to 2,865 hectares of land south of Lakelse Lake, on traditional Kitselas territory. LL Geothermal Inc., a consortium of Kitselas, En-

bridge and Borealis GeoPower can now apply for authorization to drill in the area, and if it discovers a geothermal resource and decides to proceed with a plant, it can apply to convert the permit to a lease. A geothermal energy plant uses steam and superheated water found deep inside the earth to spin turbines which then generate electricity. Champions of the resource charge it as one of the most clean and reliable renewable energy sources,

although the geothermal industry is still relatively small in Canada compared to other renewables like run-of-river, wind, and solar power. But the project, which, if approved, would be the first of its kind in Canada, is still in its infancy. “The project, and its site, must meet a number of conditions during its approval process,” reads an article in a recent issue of a Kitselas First Nation newsletter. “One important condition is whether other First Nations have an interest in the area.”

Lax Kw’alaams and Metlakatla, Tsimshian First Nations on the North Coast, also have claims to the area, and talks are ongoing. According to the application filed with the provincial government, the site also overlaps an area identified by the Haisla of Kitamaat Village as being traditional territory. The regional district of Kitimat-Stikine and the City of Terrace also want to be included in discussions surrounding exploration and development.

There had been interest in geothermal development in the Lakelse Lake area as far back as 1991 but the regional district called for a halt of any exploratory drilling plans after Mount Layton owner Bert Orleans said his water source could be threatened. But in 2009, the province put a number of potential geothermal sites on offer, including the area near Lakelse Lake, although it wasn’t until late 2012 that it received interest in the site. The government then

proceeded with a new pretenure referral in May 2013. Tim Thompson, CEO of Calgary-based Borealis, said the hot springs in the Mount Layton area are the hottest in Canada. “We’ve been interested in the area since we became incorporated as a company (in 2007),” he said. “Since before that probably.” This also isn’t the first time Enbridge has taken an interest in renewable energy here.

A popular recreation site near Terrace is in danger of being closed to the public if CN can't find someone willing to take over the maintenance of its railroad crossing that provides access to the road leading to the site. “If a crossing agreement is not in place by April 1, CN will close the crossing with a locked gate,” said CN spokesperson Emily Hamer last week, of the railway crossing located along Highway 16 about half-an-hour west of Terrace. That railway crossing leads to a public road which then follows along the Exstew River into a provincial recreation site located on provincial crown land. The well-used area has one of the largest waterfalls in the province, an 11-slip camping and picnic site, and plenty of opportunities for wildlife viewing, fishing, and rock climbing. But public access could be cut off early this spring, warns a recently erected closure notice posted at the railroad crossing. “The crossing at Exstew is actually a private crossing that intersects with a forest service road, which is under the jurisdiction of the province,” said Hamer, of the sign's intention. “Currently CN is clarifying who will take responsibility for the maintenance of the private railway crossing.” CN is mainly concerned with the maintenance of the approaches on either side of the crossing, she said, noting that could include things like snow removal. “A road authority needs to take responsibility for the maintenance of the railway crossing,” she said. To that end, CN has been in discussion with the provincial ministry of forests, lands, and natural resources for the last two to three months, confirmed the ministry.

Rec site access could be cut But the ministry isn’t considering taking over the maintenance at this time because the road over the crossing is a road permit road, not a forest service road, said Greig Bethel, a public relations officer for the ministry. “The road is the responsibility of the road permit holder, which in this case is Coast Tsimshian Resources LP,” he continued. “If for some reason in the future Coast Tsimshian decides they no longer want that road permit, the ministry would look at options at that time.” According to Coast Tsimshian Resources (CTR), which is owned by the Lax Kw’alaams First Nation, it might be time for the ministry to begin looking at options. “As recreational access may be impacted by such a closure, CTR is hopeful that CN will seek an arrangement that will continue to keep this crossing open,” reads a press release sent out by CTR last Friday. The company doesn’t intend to enter into an arrangement to maintain the road as it hasn’t needed the road in nearly five years. “CTR has not needed this road permit since 2010,” explained CTR representative Dave Jackson, noting the company has no active logging permits that would require use of the road. “CTR has no economic reason to keep the road permit open, but for goodwill we have maintained portions of the road for the past four years to allow continued public access to the forest service camp ground,” he said. “Perhaps the forest service may wish to take over the crossing and then establish the road tenure as a [forest service road] to ensure the public has continued access.” Skeena NDP MLA Robin Austin, whose office has been fielding complaints from concerned area residents, said someone needs to take responsibility for the crossing. “They’re very upset because they’re people who have taken their families to use the park

up there, the forestry park, and have been going for years and want to be able to continue to take their family members to that park,” he said, of the constituents

he has heard from over the last two weeks. “They’re very concerned that if the road is closed they’re going to have no access to what has been a very nice

place to go in the summer.” He has been working with North Coast NDP MLA Jennifer Rice to find out more details about the closure no-

tice, and options going forward. “I certainly believe that there can’t be a closure of this road without any sort of public consultation,” said Austin.

Former head librarian remembered for vision

THE FORMER head librarian of the Terrace Public Library who passed away suddenly last week is being remembered for taking the library into the computer and digital age. Ed Curell, who retired in 2008 after 29 years with the library, was on holidays with his wife Wendy. He was 67. “I couldn’t believe it when I heard it,” said Willie Schneider, who was chair of the library board in 1979 when Curell was hired, of his death. “He was quite hands-on in the library,” said Schneider. “He was a very laid back man, very friendly man. He was very concerned about his staff and always concerned about the budget.” First built as a Canadian Centennial project in 1967, the structure was expanded in 1995 with Schneider and Curell working to raise money and crafting how the facility would look. George Clark first got to know Curell when he was on city council in the early 1980s and acted as the city’s representative on the library board. “I was supposed to represent the interests of the city but I think I ended up defending the interests of the library instead,” Clark recalled. “That’s the kind of person Ed was – very passionate, very quiet and very effective.” Clark credits Curell for moving the library

ED CURELL was the head librarian at the Terrace Public Library for 29 years. beyond being a book repository. “He made sure the library was not only up to date with changes but that it was ahead of the curve,” he said. “Videos, CDs, audiobooks. He made the library a place not just to read but to research. Computers were there for free use. He very quickly got with the computer age,” said Clark. Former co-workers and friends also paid tribute to Curell with many calling him a

mentor. “He was a tireless advocate, who worked long hours, paid attention to details and was always able to see the potential in others and in the library as a whole. His vision led Terrace Public Library to be the first library in the northwest to offer videos for borrowing and to implement the first automated library system,” said current child and youth services librarian Jess Dafoe. Current head librarian Margo Schiller, who

took over from Curell in May 2008, said he was a huge help when she first arrived. “I can remember being invited to Ed’s for Christmas dinner one year. It meant a lot to me as a newcomer to the area with a young child and no family nearby,” she said. Owen Hewitt, who now lives in Ottawa, was employed as a local history librarian here in 2012. “Even in retirement, Ed was an enthusiastic and dedicated library colleague whose insight and encouragement were greatly appreciated by myself and those interested in preserving local history,” said Hewitt. Terrace mayor Dave Pernarowski expressed condolences on behalf of the city council and the city. “His dedication to learning, to facilitating access to information, and creating an accessible library has shaped not only the Terrace Public Library but indeed our community,” he said. Following his retirement, Curell was involved in a number of activities, including membership in the local amateur radio club. He was also a member of the board of the Terrace and District Museum Society. In that capacity, he was also one of the volunteers recruited to interview local residents regarding the history of Terrace and area.

Control over work camps wanted by local gov’ts

Housing sought here AN announcement of $300 million from the federal and provincial governments for subsidized housing over the next five years drew mixed reactions from city councillors and others at a council committee of the whole meeting March 4. Nearly 20 members of the public were also in attendance to hear from BC Housing and provincial officials. BC Housing vice president Michael Flanigan said the B.C. government was going to match the federal government by providing $150 million for subsidizes to be spread “in an equitable way across British Columbia.” He added that communities

across the province have presented similar concerns as Terrace, however, city housing committee chair Keith Goodwin said Terrace is in a uniquely dire situation and called for partnerships between BC Housing and specific projects. He also said there’s a need for a local non-profit housing society. “There is a need to share risk,” said councillor Brian Downie. Councillor Stacey Tyers, who was acting as deputy mayor in Dave Pernarowski’s absence, said the announcement of money came as a surprise because she, along with other members and proponents of non-profit groups in the area, had previously been told there was no money whatsoever.

TERRACE city council has joined the KitimatStikine regional district in seeking more control over the establishment of work camps needed to house workers brought in to construct large industrial projects. In similarly-worded motions passed recently, the two local governments also want the provincial government to form one authority to issue permits that would set out standards for the camps. “Currently, work camps can be proposed through several [provincial] ministries, so there is no overarching authority deciding on who gets the temporary permits,” city councillor – and regional district chair – Bruce Bidgood said at a March 5 city council session held to discuss the issue. Bidgood called the camps “shadow communities,” some of which could hold several thousand people. Such camps already exist at Kitimat where Rio Tinto Alcan is rebuilding its aluminum smelter and one LNG project there, Kitimat LNG, wants to erect a 600-person facility in the area of the former Eurocan pulp and paper mill this summer. Both of those are within Kitimat municipal limits. And while municipalities do have permit control over camps within their boundaries, both Terrace and the regional district feel a more unified approach is needed for rural areas. During debate March 5, city councillor Stacey Tyers said the Northern Health Authority has had concerns about conditions at some camps. “Government is advocating for such rapid development of LNG (liquefied natural gas),” said Bidgood speaking later. “We believe there is a joint responsibility. You can’t just stand there and start a feeding frenzy and

say ‘we will go there without looking at the work conditions of the camps that are going to be there’ ... it should really be a creation of the provincial government.” The city and regional district motions will be sent to the North Central Local Government Association with the expectation they will then be sent for approval to the fall conference of the Union of BC Municipalities. The city resolution reads, in part, “the Union of British Columbia Municipalities request the provincial government establish a referral process that allows local government and other government agencies to comment on the location of industrial work camps and establish an overarching authority to coordinate work camp development and monitor work camp operations.” In the preamble to its resolution, the regional district noted “industrial work camps create demand for local services such as health care, waste management and emergency response.” Two other resolutions were passed at the March 5 council meeting for presentation to the North Central Local Government Association in hopes they will be forwarded to the provincial municipal association. One calls for lobbying the provincial government to “address barriers to trade and transportation and impacts to northern communities along Highway 16.” The other wants the province to increase the amount of affordable housing in the north. The message delivered by several council members, including Lynne Christiansen, is that road infrastructure needs should be looked at by the government before a crisis situation comes about, as she feels is now the case with housing.

Angler replies OPINION

Terrace Standard Wednesday, March 12, 2014

‘My criticisms are levelled against the generals, not the troops’

By Rob Brown

haven’t responded to criticisms of The Skeena Angler since I began writing the column for The Terrace Standard more than 20 years ago, but after reading Tim Moser’s “Fish need angler help” letter of February 12, I felt I should. The reasons that prompted me to do so are that Moser attributes opinions to me that I have not expressed and ascribes motives to me that I do not possess. Tim Moser accuses me of making “great efforts to deliberately vilify hunters, forestry workers, PNG employees, guide outfitters, fisheries biologists, and most fishermen.” The word vilify means to criticize someone very strongly, especially in a way that is not fair and that damages their reputation. I have never vilified hunters. I consider hunting a part of our Canadian heritage and I support it. I challenge Mr. Moser to demonstrate one instance in my writing where I have unfairly criticized people who hunt in an ethical manner. As for loggers, I respect them and their considerable skills as

well as their work in a demanding and dangerous environment. I have never vilified them. I have often levelled criticism (but never unfairly) at foresters who created unsustainable logging plans to please their political and corporate masters at the expense of the environment. I have criticized the way the section of PNG pipeline that runs through the Telkwa pass was laid. The fact that the line has been wrecked several times, most notably in the flood of 1978, is proof positive that that line was poorly planned. My criticism was therefore justified and fair. In no instance did I criticize the workers who had the difficult job of laying that line. Mr. Moser does not seem to understand that in these instances, my criticisms are levelled against the generals, not the troops. The only guide outfitters I have taken aim at are those who hunt grizzly bears on the Lakelse River. Once again, I have not vilified them, but described how they drive to easily accessed places where they shoot bears for their fur, skulls, and claws,

a practice I find repugnant as do the vast majority of people in the civilized world. I know a dozen biologists and count three of them as my closest friends, and can recall only one time, a decade ago, when I criticized a biologist. I did this because that man advocated the slaughter of wolves from helicopters as a strategy for managing moose populations. Mr. Moser’s contention that I vilified biologists is something he has simply pulled out of his hat. According to Moser, I have also vilified “most fishermen.” It’s unclear whom Moser refers to by “most fishermen.”

I have been critical of the management of the commercial salmon fishery in Skeena because it has been dominated by the needs of the fishing industry at the expense of the First Nations and recreational fisheries upstream. But I deny vilifying the federal fisheries managers for struggling with what is essentially an impossible task, or commercial fishers for eking out a living in a way that was in many cases handed down to them from their fathers. On the other hand, I plead guilty to fairly criticized fisheries ministers for poor decisions unmindful of the needs of salmon. I’ve inveighed

against the use of salmon roe on what I believe are sound ethical and ecological grounds, but have never sought to damage the reputation of fishers who use bait. Similarly, I have been critical of flyfishers who hold fish out of water for photo opportunities and those who use trailing hooks at the end of large flies because those lures have the potential to kill fish. Suggesting that I have deliberately sought to damage the reputation of most fishermen is as untrue as it is absurd. “The enemy is not, as Rob Brown seems to think, average people who work in our area and eat the fish they

catch.” writes Moser. What Mr. Moser thinks I think, is not what I think. I don’t know precisely what Moser means by an average person, but I’m going to assume he is referring to a citizen who resides in the Terrace area and goes out to a river or lake from time to time with the intention of catching a fish and bringing it home to eat. Mr. Moser needs to know that for the 40 years I have lived here I have done exactly that. True, I release steelhead, char, and cutthroat trout in rivers because it is illegal not to do so for reasons of conservation. But the fact I can no longer take those fish home, does not mean that I wouldn’t like to, conditions permitting. I still eat coho and sockeye and look forward to bringing some home for the table every season. Mr. Moser also accuses me of presenting an “elitist point of view.” In the sport fishing community, the term “elitist” is too often – and inaccurately – levelled at those who pursue fish with a fly rod, despite the fact that fly-fishing is the most common method used to angle for freshwater

fish the world over. I’m going to assume that Tim Moser understands that an elitist is a person who supports a system in which a small group of people have a lot of advantages and keep the most power and influence, and challenge him to show me an instance where I have advocated for such a position. “Your average angler is concerned about conservation can contribute, if they can be engaged. Maybe it just takes an outside perspective to figure out how,” writes Moser. As someone who has been engaged in fisheries and conservation for more than 30 years, I can assure Tim Moser that he doesn’t need an outside perspective to figure out how to become involved, or seek counsel in the uninformed and erroneous opinion piece published in the Jan. 29, 2014 issue of The Terrace Standard by Jim Benson, a Californian steelhead fisherman. He just needs to stand up and be counted on issues like the Enbridge pipeline, the LNG plants, the immolation of the Fisheries Act, and the metastasis of aquaculture industry. But he has to be prepared to take some heat.

Training young people is key to north’s future

’ve spent much of the past year travelling across this province to speak with British Columbians about our Northern Gateway project. Everywhere I go, and especially in B.C.’s north, I hear young people sharing their hopes for the future. They want good-paying jobs – ones that will allow them to live and work in the communities where they grew up. And they want jobs that will allow them to enjoy the same quality of life as their parents, so they too can raise a family in their own communities. It’s clear to me these young people are not afraid of hard work. Like my grandparents in the forest industry, they are eager to put their noses to the grindstone. But many of these young people are worried about how

they’ll get by in an economy where many good-paying jobs require advanced skills. As someone who benefited from a good education, I believe everyone deserves a chance to better their skills, and to get the jobs that help drive our economy forward. As leader of the Northern Gateway team, I know it’s my responsibility to do everything I can to help ensure these young people have the same opportunities I had when I was growing up. That’s why, since 2006, Northern Gateway has been supporting programs that train young people across B.C.’s north. These programs come with no strings attached, meaning graduates can work for whomever they please. So far, these programs have helped train more than 1,500 peo-

guest comment

JANET HOLDER ple. These are people who now have skills that will keep them working for a lifetime. They are people who now have the choice to stay in their communities, allowing them to

support the local economy and to be close to family and friends. And yes, if our project gets approval, I hope these same people will work for us. I am proud of the work we have done. But I know we can do more. That’s why I announced recently that Northern Gateway is contributing $225,000 to the Construction Foundation of B.C. for its excellent initiative, Project Shop Class. This project puts much needed dollars directly into B.C. classrooms for skills training programs that we know have the power to open young eyes to new possibilities. This money will help to dramatically improve shop facilities, which in some cases have not been upgraded in decades. With an expected shortage of skilled workers, I am hopeful this program will help to encourage more

young people to enter the skilled trades. On a personal note, it gives me great pleasure to know that our contribution will go specifically to schools across the north. I was born and raised in northern B.C., and I care deeply about the communities and the people who live here. The investments we’re making in the skills of our young people will make us all stronger, giving tomorrow’s generation the opportunity to fulfill their potential. There is no better investment we can make. And I am proud that Northern Gateway is doing its part. Janet Holder is an executive vice-president of Enbridge, Inc. and is the team leader of its Northern Gateway pipeline team. She now lives in Prince George, her hometown.

EDITORIAL

Treaties THE federal government is doing a profound disservice to the Kitselas and Kitsumkalum First Nations by failing so far to ratify their respective land claims treaty agreements in principle. It’s been more than a year since Kitselas voters accepted their agreement in principle providing cash, land and self government powers and close to a year since Kitsumkalum voters did the same. The provincial government followed suit last year as well but in the complicated world of land claims, it takes three to tango and the federal government has yet to put on its dancing shoes. Agreements in principle are not final documents. But they do provide the broad brush details for final treaties, namely cash, land and self government powers. The mystery is that the federal government doesn’t seem to trust the negotiators it hired who felt comfortable enough with the agreements in principle to have them voted upon by the Kitselas and Kitsumkalum. More to the point, the federal government risks having Kitselas and Kitsumkalum voters go sour on the idea of treaties. At a time when the region is on the verge of an economic upswing, the certainty over land and resources treaties will bring is desperately needed. In that sense, the obligation of the federal government extends beyond the Kitselas and Kitselas to include everyone else here. ESTABLISHED APRIL 27, 1988

Soothing baby the old-fashioned way

ews reports reveal parents are using machines that produce white noise to shush their fussy babies while in the stroller or during car rides, and to quiet them at bedtime. Some machines plug in, others are battery powered. They also come as Apps or can be downloaded on to iPhones. Some are concealed in the tummies of stuffed animals. Noise machines produce a relaxing consistent sound that also blocks out background noises. Besides whooshing white noise, parents have a choice of bird songs, waterfalls, rain and more. Recommended decibel level is 50; many machines can reach higher noise levels. Knowing how we often disregard health warnings, this possibility of too-high levels worries doctors. Steady noise at higher decibels leads to deafness. Parents admit they may leave the white noise on near their babies from 45 minutes to all night. By comparison, normal conversation measures 60 to 65 decibels, city traffic in-

CLAUDETTE SANDECKI side a car 85, a Walkman 94, a jackhammer 95 measured at 50 feet, and a snowmobile 100 decibels. My mother sang us to sleep. She had five of us to look after, plus holding up her end of farming – cooking, cleaning, laundry done on a scrub board, milking cows, feeding chickens, canning garden produce in season. Once dinner was over and the kitchen table was cleared, mom looked forward to nursing her youngest ahead of the child’s afternoon nap. It gave her an opportunity to take the weight off her feet before tackling chores that could keep her on

the go until 7 p.m. She would settle in the big rocking chair in her sunny bedroom off the kitchen. The rocker, made by her carpenter father, had a padded seat and a high back. Its wide, flat armrests amply supported her arm with the baby’s weight. Heat from the McClary range along with any southern sunlight produced a soporific atmosphere for both mom and babe. While the baby nursed, mom crooned a four or five line song she had composed for her first child and never varied from then on. The words were even less exciting than Sheldon’s Soft Kitty. The lullaby catalogued our farm animals with their vocalizations: The cow says moo, moo, moo, and the rooster says doodle do, the dog says bow wow wow, and the kitty says meow, meow, meow. I no longer recall the roster of livestock, only that it was a short list. Soon baby’s eyelids would droop – sometimes mom’s too – and the baby would be ready for a couple hours of slumber in his homemade crib next to mom and dad’s bed. Thirty minutes was usu-

ally sufficient for the baby to nurse and slump in a deep snooze. Our baby brother, though, was not so easily lulled. Even though he might look to be completely asleep, if mom made a mistake, paired the wrong sound to an animal, his eyelids would snap open and he would correct her. She had to croon minutes longer before he trusted her to stay on message. When our girls were babies, I typed several hours every evening transcribing doctors’ exam notes and office correspondence from their Dictaphone recordings. Each afternoon when my husband left work, he drove to the doctors’ offices to collect their charts. Next morning he took the typed charts back to their offices. While I typed, dad kept an eye on the girls. The older one, propped up against a cushion, shared the sofa with dad while he watched TV wrestling. The younger one preferred her crib and succumbed to the clacking of my manual Royal. Its tapping keys were as effective as white noise. Even today, as a an adult, she tends to nod off at the sound of typing.

home hardware co-owners Henry Stiksma, left, and Norm Mantel, right, hold a chain instead of a traditional ribbon for then-mayor Jack Talstra at the official March 1994 opening of their store. It was the second Home Hardware store in Terrace and was located where the Creative Zone is now. The store closed in 2001. Home Hardware is returning thanks to a conversion of the Rona outlet here.

Third time for Home Hardware Dear Sir: Just to bring you up to speed on your story in the March 5, 2014 issue of The Terrace Standard regarding the return of Home Hardware.

This is actually the third time Home Hardware has been in Terrace. The first one was beside Terrace Interiors, where there is now a restaurant.

Home Hardware moved in to that location after the liquor store relocated, and the Home Hardware was operated by the same family that owned the franchise in Prince Rupert. His

name was Jim, but I don’t recall his last name. I guess I’ve lived in Terrace too long if I recall this. Bill Delaronde, Terrace, B.C.

An open letter to: Gerry Martin About your letter of March 5, 2014 in which you criticize columnist Rob Brown for his Feb. 12 column on Enbridge’s TV commercials introducing us to their Northern Gateway project manager, Janet Holder. I wonder if that commercial was the inspiration for Rob’s column. The lighting is beautiful; it sure makes me want to trust her. After watching a commercial like that a hundred times, I’m almost convinced she alone will ensure nothing bad – like a spill into a fish-bearing stream – will happen in our area; I almost forget that Enbridge, along with other pipeline companies, have had a number of pipeline ruptures/leaks in recent years. Rob’s last paragraph warns us that Janet and Enbridge are selling snake oil. Rob’s passionate words might be too strong; having an inflammatory rather than agreeable quality for pipeline proponents. However, as educated people, we simply cannot deny that Enbridge is spinning the truth in their favour by airing commercials that are one-sided. The intent of Enbridge’s commercial is the same as for any commercial run by a company: to gain public favour for a project or to convince the public to buy a product. So Rob’s final paragraph is not really that unfair to Janet, rather, it makes us stop and think about the Enbridge propaganda that we are exposed on our televisions in our homes. Gerry, you are correct in your letter when you say that oil and gas companies need customers for their products. But where are the customers for the end products of the Northern Gateway project located? It’s not going to be Canadians fueling up at the end of the pipeline is it? Why do we need to rush to export Canada’s non-renewable oil and gas reserves?

Here’s a story to tell your children By Rick Brouwer In recent months, northwesterners have been described as the belles of the resource development ball – especially small town girls being wooed by wellspoken corporate diegos. Let’s carry that idea forward in a modern day version of Cinderella. In this tale, everyone’s invited to the ball; in fact, we have no choice and must attend. At the ball, there’s more than one Prince Charming and they aren’t just looking for a one and only. Here one Charming can and will partner with more than one Cinderella, and one Cinderella can and will partner with more than one Charming. And when they do hook up, the Charmings move into the Cinderellas’ home, a shared accommodation i.e. northwest BC. This is where it gets interesting. Lots of Cinderellas and lots

of Charmings, some in relationships, some not, all living under one roof. Like any living situation, there’s bound to be disagreements, some minor and some major because we’re all different, and in some cases, polar opposites. Some of us are neat; others messy. Some are loud; others enjoy a quieter lifestyle. But because we’re family now, we can’t just walk away from our differences and problems. We have to confront them, together, in a civilized manner with long-term solutions in mind. But let’s go back to the beginning of the story and figure out if there’s something we could do before the ball, to make moving in together easier on all of us. As I see it, there are two possible scenarios. First, as each Cinderella heads off to the ball they only have their

g u e s t c o mm e n t

RICK BROUWER own desires in mind. Maybe they bring home one Prince. Maybe they bring home a few. Maybe they bring home none at all. Once everyone’s living in the same house, everyone does their best not to blow up at each other. In the second scenario, the

Cinderellas get together beforehand and agree on what they want the house to look like. They set ground rules for new roommates and guests, whether everyone will follow certain diets, bathroom schedules, if or when to update the wiring, paint the walls, buy new appliances, add new rooms, etc. They talk about pet peeves and preferences to avoid blow ups. And before they go to the ball, the Cinderellas agree on the type of Charmings they can all accept as part of the family. This scenario prevents conflicts between roommates before they move in together, and sets ground rules for any conflicts that will inevitably come up. As a bonus, when the Charmings move in, they’ll be more prepared. They’ll understand the type of people they’ll be living with and the expectations in the household.

As new family members, the Princes will be welcome. Their opinions will be valued and considered in household discussions and decisions. Now, I don’t know if a complete fairy tale ending is really possible, but at least in the second scenario Northwest BC’s Cinderellas could write the story together. And the Prince Charmings would have some idea what is and isn’t acceptable behaviour in these parts. Perhaps, just perhaps, Northwest BC could become the place where they all lived happily ever after. Isn’t that a Cinderella story you’d like to tell your kids? Rick Brouwer lives in Terrace, BC. He is the executive director of SNCIRE, a non-profit that identifies, develops and promotes opportunities to build a resilient and sustainable natural resource economy in the Skeena-Nass region.

From Page A7

We need to use less fossil fuel The answer might be as simple as: the revenue generated from the exports will in turn generate economic prosperity. The question then becomes: is economic prosperity worth the risks? Some Canadians will benefit from economic prosperity directly and indirectly resulting from the Northern Gateway project – and that is alluring; so alluring that it makes many of us

compromise our values (namely environmental) in the name of money. Knowing what we now know about fossil fuels (they are a scarce and non-renewable resource, burning them has cumulative negative consequences), each of us has a responsibility to make better choices about how we use them and how we benefit from them (i.e. exploiting them by fueling up our personal vehicles

and heating our homes; exploiting them by supporting projects that export them to other remote countries who will ultimately consume them; or even supporting the industry by competing for those high paying jobs). I applaud Rob for his Feb. 12 column, even if he’s made to sound a little like a hypocrite for driving his truck out to the river to enjoy a day of fishing. He perhaps

Bad drivers, bad manners

Dear Sir: May I reinforce Helmut Giesbrecht’s remarks on disabled parking spaces (Terrace Standard, February 26, 2014) I do not hope to match his eloquence but I can assure you that he does not overstate the problems. I have tried politely to point out to people in handicapped spaces, without permits, and without visible mobility problems, that they are taking spaces away from those that need them. I have been advised variously that they will park wherever they want, that I should mind my own business, and have been treated to a few words that are better left unstated. So as far as bringing these violations to the attention of the property owner, the usual reaction is a shrug and, “What can we do?’’ Why would anyone bother, indeed? Don Varner, Terrace, B.C.

could have done better, as you suggested, by including a few references to how we might wean ourselves from fossil fuel dependency. Regardless, how can any of us in modern society disapprove of the Northern Gateway project without sounding like a hypocrite? Sometimes being a little bit of a hypocrite is a necessary evil, and it certainly is in the case of advocating reduc-

tion of dependencies on fossil fuels because we have allowed our societies to be so heavily dependent on them. While pipelines may offer a relatively safe option for transporting fossil fuels, building more pipelines and greater capacity to move more oil and gas does nothing to help reduce local or global dependency on fossil fuels.

Chamber hosts Enbridge survey The Terrace business community can now have its say on Enbridge’s Northern Gateway project thanks to an online survey hosted by the Terrace and District Chamber of Commerce. The survey, several months in the planning and posted March 5, follows the December 2013 release of an environmental review which recommended the federal government approve the project subject to Enbridge fulfilling 209 conditions. 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 released its report, it did welcome new industry

to the area. Chamber executive director Carol Fielding said it seemed overall opinion on the Gateway project to pump Alberta crude to an export terminal at Kitimat is divided and that the chamber’s board of directors decided a survey was one method of finding out the opinion of the organization’s nearly 300 members. “The few we heard from some supported, some didn’t and asked why did you write the letter. So it said to us that we should canvas our members to see what they think,” said Fielding. She also said that the survey results will only be considered valid and the results released to the public if more than 50 per cent of the members respond.

Even if the number of surveys submitted is under that, the chamber board will still release a position statement on the Gateway project, Fielding said. Chamber members can respond to the 11 statements in the survey only once. Respondents can strongly disagree, somewhat disagree, undecided, somewhat agree or strongly agree to the statements. One statement asks members if they consider pipelines to be a safer means to transport oil than rail. Another asks members if the Gateway pipeline creates a risk to marine environment. The entire survey can be found by going to https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/NorthernGatewayPipeline.

Mortgage Interest Rate now only 2.97% 4-Year Fixed Rate

NORTHWEST TRANSMISSION LINE Snowmobiler and Winter Recreation Users Public Safety Notice Snowmobilers and winter recreationalists (cross country skiers, snow shoers, etc.) should be aware that the Northwest Transmission Line (NTL) is under construction, and the NTL right-of-way remains a construction zone with restricted access. This is required to avoid safety risks associated with such things as unmarked guy lines, construction materials and other potential hazards along the right-of-way, as well as for public and worker safety as construction activities continue.

Apply today for a TD Mortgage

In particular, over the past year many of the transmission structures for the NTL project have been installed. Most of these structures are supported by currently unmarked guy lines which can be very difficult to see against a snow background.

With various mortgage interest rates, terms and special offers, you can find the mortgage that’s right for you.

Please avoid using the right-of-way for your activities. If you are in the area, take extra care when travelling in the vicinity of the transmission structures.

City says goodbye to Mamie Kerby Family and friends paid their last respects to Mamie Kerby at Knox United Church March 5. Celebrating the Life of Mamie Eva Emily Kerby welcomed everyone with piano music in the sanctuary and a book of condolences for guests to sign. Two of Mamie’s grandsons, Doug and Ken, greeted everyone and handed out the bulletin with a colour photo of Mamie on front and a black and white photo of her younger self sitting on a bridge railing with a motorcycle parked in front of her. At the start of the service, Tom Harris asked everyone to stand as he led in the family members. Daughter-in-law Wanda Kerby and grandson Adam Kerby opened the service with a song, followed by Tom Harris with a welcome and prayer. Mamie’s son Eric gave the eulogy, telling several personal stories about her with tears in his eyes as he talked. “My mother had a unique ability to see life as perfect,” said Eric. She thought her children were perfect and thought everything was perfect, he said. She roamed everywhere and felt free, he added. Mom loved her children so much and was such a good person, he said. Harris told a story about his grandfather Knute who decided to go to the Haugland’s house one day.

Mamie was on the front porch and had a big dishpan in her hands and Knute came around the corner and got the full brunt of the dishpan in the face, which surely wasn’t done on purpose. “Mamie was joyful and courageous,” he said. “I know we’ve lost a valued treasure so we’re waiting for another Mamie to come and step in, continue to lead us and encourage us. Another thing about Mamie for me personally: she was encouraging, a true encourager.” Wanda and her sons Adam and Ben sang two songs written in the 1930s during the Depression: Keep on the Sunny Side and I’ll Fly Away. Harris closed the service in prayer, then put on his guitar and sang another line of Keep on the Sunny Side before asking everyone to sing along with their best Minnie Pearl voice, referring to the comedienne who performed at the Grand Ole Opry in the U.S. for 50 years. The family has started a scholarship for a Grade 12 student in the local school district who’s going on to study history after high school. Donations to the scholarship in memory of Mamie Kerby can be dropped off or mailed to: Northwest Education 88 Foundation, 3211 Kenney St., Terrace, B.C., V8G 3E9.

Student repeats science fair win A student who won gold for her project last year repeated her win and also earned the best in fair award at the Northwest Science and Innovation Society (NSIS) Science Fair. Uplands Grade 1 student Emilie Pouladi won best in fair and won gold for her project Banana Slip in the kindergarten to Grade 1 category. “Her project this year was to see whether one really does slip on banana peels like cartoon characters on TV. She padded herself up and tried to slip on banana peels on all types of surfaces,” said fair organizer Christine Slanz. Last year, Pouladi won gold for her project Is my Dog Smarter than my Brother? Kaylyn Braam, a Heritage Online School Grade 1 student, won silver for Colourful Flowers. Bronze went to Logan Stewart, a Thornhill Primary Grade 1 student, for What is a Battery? In the Grade 2-3 category, homeschooled students Ana and Maia Purita won gold for Hatching Coloured Eggs. Finn Ignas, a Veritas Grade 3 student won silver for Does Music Affect Plant Growth? Bronze went to Joey Pouladi, a Grade 3 Uplands student, for Bowling. Honourable mentions went to Svea Long-Partel, a L’Ecole Mountainview Grade 3 student, for How Crystals Form; Cora Baerg, an Uplands Grade 3 student for The Cheeseburger Diaries; Emma MacKenzie, a L’Ecole Mountainview Grade 2 student, for Potato Battery; and Paul Koerner, a homeschooled Grade 3 student, for What is the Difference Between Potential Energy and Kinetic Energy? In the Grade 4-5 category, gold went to homeschooled Grade 5 student Joel Koerner for What Has More Vitamin C? Silver went to Kamryn Bolton, a Cassie Hall Grade 4 student, for Solar System. Bronze went to Sam Bond, a Grade 4 distance learning student, for Building a Better Car. Honourable mention went to Eva Barnett and Charlize Bretherick, Uplands Grade 4 students, for See What You’re Feeding Your Dog.

Centennial plays matchmaker

Mayor Dave Pernarowski awards the Best In Fair Certificate to Uplands Grade 1 student Emilie Pouladi for her project Banana Slip.

Following on the heels of last year’s performance of the farce One Mad Night, Centennial Christian drama students present another farce. the Matchmaker, this year. Josh Sexton is Horace Vandergelder, the wealthy “merchant of Yonkers” who forbids his niece Ermengarde, played by Ocean Georgelin, from marrying her love Ambrose, played by Marcus Behnke, while hiring matchmaker Dolly Levi, played by Krystal Behnke, to find him a wife. While telling Horace that she wants him to meet Irene Molloy, played by Lovene Operana, Dolly has set her sights on marrying Horace. Meanwhile, Horace’s store clerks Cornelius and Barnaby, played by Josh Piers and Liam Nutma, decide they want to have some fun of their own, which includes kissing a girl, even though Horace has left them in charge of the store. From there it becomes a farce in the old-fashioned sense: characters hidden under tables and in closets, men disguised as women, a complex conspiracy to bring young lovers together and a happy ending.

COMMUNITY

Terrace Standard Wednesday, March 12, 2014

’m so pleased to see such a great turnout today, for the first annual Terrace Everything Day (TED) conference. To facilitate networking, such an important part of today’s agenda, we’ll be starting late, having long breaks, and ending early. First, some housekeeping details. Washrooms are located to your left, in the west wing, on every floor. Exits are marked. Please note there is no smoking on the balconies, verandas, porches or the poolside deck. I’ll just run down the list of workshops: you have a map in your package. The Accommodations and Housing workshop is located in conference room A. There are five presentations, three break-out sessions, and a powerpoint summary. For those of you who are tired about talking about the issue, please join Ksan Society’s Carol outside, who will be digging the foundation by hand, for a new 20-unit affordable housing complex. Please BYOS. Big Brothers Big Sisters is in Conference Room B, Chamber of Commerce in room C, and Downtown Revitalization in D. Conference room E is reserved for “Everything” staff and volunteers: there are baby change rooms, electric scooters for loan, and extra flipchart paper and markers. Feel free to see them for anything else you may need during the conference. The volunteer firefighters are in room F, Greater Terrace Beautification Society in room G, and Happy Gang Centre in room H. As this is the last Tuesday of the month, Room I will be the location of the no-host Interagency meeting at noon, so as usual, please bring a bag lunch, as well as your coffee, tea or ice water, and your own pen and paper. I don’t have to remind you

W H AT ?

charlynn toews

Welcome delegates! to clean up after yourselves, you know full well there is no budget for Interagency. Kermode Friendship Centre, please take room K. Kinsmen and Knights of Columbus are jolly old fellas, they share room J. Lakelse Watershed Stewards Society take room L and Minor Hockey Association M. Now, all you people who chose to name their nonprofits North, Northern, North Coast or Northwest, you have given the “Everything” team a bit of a headache. We have reserved Conference Rooms N, O, P and Q for you, so Northwest BC Métis Association, Northwest Science and Innovation Society, and the rest of you, go to the east wing on the third floor, find your people, sort yourselves out and grab a room. Royal Canadian Legion, assemble in room R and Skeena Angling Guides Association, guide yourselves and the

Skeena Watershed Conservation Coalition to Conference Room S. Attention Terrace Bluebacks Swim Club, TDCSS, Terrace Public Library, Terrace Womens Resource Centre, and the rest of you: see N above! We have set aside Conference Rooms T, U, V and W for you, make it work. And no, Toastmasters, I do not feel any pity for you, get with the Ts. Yes, question? Chair recognizes Terrace Women’s Resource Centre. Oh, I see. To repeat for those who could not hear her shrill demand (kidding!) TWRC could be Women’s Centre, and take Conference Room W. Seems fair enough. Hear that, fellow- Ts? You get T, U and V, no W. Chair sees another hand up. Peaks Gymnastics? Where have we put you now? Oh, sorry – well, we have actually set aside Conference Rooms X, Y and Z for such a… no, I understand. Okay, listen up, Ns, you have Conference Rooms N, O and Q – no P. What? Very funny. Alright, alright, simmer down. We have been here for 10 minutes and you have a 30-minute break coming up to talk amongst yourselves. Wow! That worked! Who taught you to whistle like that? Northwest Whistling Association, ha ha. So how this works is, after 20 minutes of meeting with your own group, you select the four people who have spoken the most words. Our E-team is there in each Conference Room to observe and record for assistance. Speaker 1 and 3 go east, Speaker 2 and 4 go west, and must spend the next session listening. This repeats for each session. So Chamber members listen to Big Brothers, then might move on to Happy Gang or whatever. I know you have questions: just listen.

Welcome to the driver’s seat

The new GLA is a practical small SUV perfect for young families or couples that want the same underlying goodness that is in the CLA but with standard all wheel drive and ease of use. Zack Spencer

Luxury wheels at just the light price MALAGA, SPAIN - It might be winter here but it’s always nice to look forward to warmer days, filled with sun and clear roads. To get a sneak peek at what better weather looks and feels like, plus get a chance to drive the all new Mercedes GLA250 and GLA 45 AMG, the advanced drive program was held in Malaga, Spain. The GLA is built of the same platform as the hot, new CLA sedan that arrived last fall. Developing it into a taller, more practical small SUV is perfect for young families or couples that want the same underlying goodness that is in the CLA but with standard all wheel drive (AWD) and ease of use. Pricing has not been confirmed but when it arrives this fall, expect the same aggressive pricing that the CLA delivers. That car starts at $33,900 but with AWD comes up to $36,800. Looks This new GLA is not as tall as the B-Class, which also shares the same platform, and not nearly as low-slung as the CLA. The GLA has a less aggressive front grille

Drive The base GLA 250 comes with a 2.0L turbocharged direct injection 4-cylinder with a healthy 208hp and 258 lb.-ft. of torque, the same as the B-Class and base CLA. There is plenty of acceleration and cruising on the highway is effortless.

Driving through the mountain canyons back from Granada to Malaga was a real treat. The countryside is rustic and beautiful and the twisty roads sublime. The base GLA never set a wheel wrong and the 7-speed duel-clutch automatic can be left in economy, sport or manual for each driving situation. All GLA models come with standard AWD and this system can detach the rear wheels and drive in FWD for better economy but switches seamlessly back when more traction or cornering capability is required, plus Dynamic Cornering Assist applies just a small amount of brake force to the inside wheel when cornering to aid in the process. The 45 AMG takes things to a completely new level. The 2.0L 4-cylinder is hand assembled and pumps out a whopping 355hp and 332 lb.-ft. of torque. The 7-speed transmission and AWD system have been adapted by AMG to deliver a go-cart like drive that is so reassuring and potent that it makes the driver look and feel fantastic. Cornering is effortless and the bigger wheels and lowered suspension give great feedback but it is not jarring. Verdict Mercedes Benz is enabling more people to access its brand with smaller less expensive vehicles. The new GLA 250 and GLA 45 AMG are certainly very attractive, powerful and fun vehicles to drive. The Lowdown Power: 2.0L turbo 4-cylinder with 208hp or 355hp Fill-up: N/A Sticker price: N/A

it easily be spotted. The latest generation of German convertible is better than ever. Boasting more trunk room (now rated at 201L as opposed to 141L) than the previous two generations, a more “masculine” look and better driving dynamics. There are two engines to choose from: a 1.8L, 4-cylidner that produces 170 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque, and a 2.0L, 4-cylinder turbocharged (TSI) model with 200 horsepower with the manual transmission (but 210hp with the optional automatic DSG) and 207 lb-ft of torque. Mazda MX-5 - $29,250 Given the title of the world’s most popular 2-seat sports car, it’s not hard to see why. The front engine, rear-wheel drive Mazda MX-5 is a blast to drive. Ask anyone who has captained it. Whether taking it out for a spin on the road or the track, this tiny two-door has nothing but good times woven into its sheet metal.

be able to fit four people inside along with 272L of cargo around back. Despite the healthy dose of ponies under the hood, wrangling this convertible is anything but a chore. With either a 6-speed manual or 6-speed automatic transmission, you’d be pleasantly surprised as to how gracious this ‘Stang can be to drive. Then again,

if you want to fire this rear-wheel drive vehicle up, you might just giggle in the process. MINI Convertible - $29,500 There’s something to be said about driving a MINI. It’s unlike any other experience out there. It feels like driving a street-legal gokart, but without the abrasiveness that go-karts can

have. Its pristine handling and fabulous gearbox only enhance the experience. Granted, visibility out the rear with the top up isn’t fabulous, and there isn’t a lot of trunk space (but there still is room for four!), those are secondary details. Take the 121 horsepower MINI Convertible for a spin and fall in love with things that come in small packages. alexandra.straub@drivewaybc.ca

Confessions of a Curber It happened just after the last flood. The T winter beat records for snowfall, and serious springtime saw seriou flooding. Basements filled, streets were running with water, and cars were left to float and sink. One day, I walked past a junk yard and saw, what I thought, was a relatively r normal car.

the vehicle could get a person from A to B. Suddenly, I had an idea. Since the car looked fine on the outside, no one had to know its real history. I was a genius. After a night in the garage with a heater and a little scrubbing, I posted an ad on Craigslist: “2004 black Toyota Corolla for sale. No longer need, bought new car. No room in garage – need to sell ASAP!!! Few scratches, otherwise in great condition. Call cell and we’ll talk price.” Thirty minutes later I got a call from a sixteen-year old kid – a little younger than my son. We decided to meet at the local mall at about 6:00. I wonder if his parents knew what he was up to. I arrived at 6:20, telling him I was in a great rush as I had to pick my son up from soccer practice. Turns out he played, too. After some soccer gossip, we got down to business. I knew that a kid his age just wanted a ride to show off to his friends, so we spent little time on the details. I told him the car was in perfect condition and was never in any accidents. “No problems as far as I know,” I said. The kid was sold. He trusted me. I never gave him my full name, and he never gave me his. He gave me the cash, I gave him the car. All was good. I was on my way. A few days later, I saw a TV program that talked about flood damaged vehicles. Apparently, flooding can damage the computer systems, which control things like the brakes and steering. And flood vehicles can’t be registered or insured. Who knew? My mind immediately went to the kid I sold the vehicle to. I felt a twinge of guilt. Then my eyes darted to my stash of cash. Two weeks later, I had another car up for sale. Stay tuned!

I still rremember my first rs time. It was so easy. eas So thrilling. And I walked away with a couple of thousand thousa bucks in my pocket. Not bad for pocket a few hours’ hou work.

What are my favourite trucks? – It’s a question readers ask me all the time in the supermarket and on the street. Though not in order of preference, here are my ten choices. 2014 GMC/Chevy Silverado/Sierra ½ ton pickup has gone through some monumental changes this year. What an improvement with a very comfortable and refined interior on all trim levels, and three engine choices, the Eco Tec 4.3-litre V6, 5.3-litre V8, and a 6.2-litre V8. 2015 Chevrolet Colorado. Very similar in design to its big brother the Silverado, this Mid-size truck fills a void in Canada. Still expected to work as hard as a full-size truck, the Colorado can tow more than 3,039 kilograms (6700 lbs) a 2.5L I-4 engine is standard with an optional 3.6L V6 with a six speed automatic transmission. 2015 GMC 3500HD Denali is a beast. This truck is built to pull and with 10,251 KG (22,600 lbs) of trailer towing capacity it does just that. The 6.6L V8

turbo engine delivers 397 hp and 765 lb ft of torque and is paired with a 1000 series Allison transmission. With interior upgrades such as 12-way power adjustable bucket seats, heated leather wrapped steering wheel and a Bose sound system you can operate it in comfort. 2014 Ford F150 Ecoboost: With more than 100,000 Eco Boost engines being produced monthly, you can bet a majority of these engines are finding their way into the 2014 F150 pickup. It holds the record in Canada for highest pickup sales, and at 12.9/9.0 L/100 km (city/highway) it keeps the money in your wallet a little longer. 2014 Ford Raptor is still one of my favorite off-road vehicles. It has electronic locking rear differential, shift on the fly 4 wheel drive, advance trac with roll stability control, and trailer sway control. Front and rear mounted cameras to add a second pair of eyes to the terrain around you and a 6.2-litre V8 engine to help you get up and over that hill. 2015 Ford F150. All new design features and a completely aluminum body and high strength steel in its frame make this truck up to 317 KG (700 lbs) lighter. It has 11 new class-exclusive features, including 360-degree camera view, integrated loading ramps stowed in the pickup bed, 400-watt power outlets inside the cab, LED headlights and side-view mirror spotlights, and remote tailgate release 2014 Ram 1500 EcoDiesel. This is a much-anticipated truck from Ram With a 3.0-litre V6 Diesel engine with a torqueflite eight-speed transmission. Not only will the Ram EcoDiesel give you 420-pound feet of torque and plenty of towing capabilities, it will also reduce co2 emissions and run on B20 Biodiesel. It’s a game changer. 2014 Ram 3500. The largest and most capable pickup Ram has to offer. Alterations to the frame including eight separate cross members, hydro formed

frame rails and high strength steel add up to a truck that is capable of towing of towing up to 13,607kg (30,000lb). A 6.7l Cummins turbo diesel engine delivers 385 hp and 850 lb ft of torque. 2014 Toyota Tundra. New body style this year, impressive hood and fender design. The western themed 1794 Edition commemorates the founding year of a Texas ranch where the Tundra plant is situated. This interior is covered with Saddle tan brown leather seats and rich maple wood grain panels throughout. It is powered by a 4.6-litre or a 5.7-litre engine. Can it compete with the big boys? This is the year to see. 2014 Toyota Tacoma. The Tacoma has continued to increase popularity and is a very agile four-wheeler. The double cab gives plenty of room for all your buddies and the 4.0-litre V6 engine can get you to your favorite fishing hole and back. With the addition of some modern day technology such as Backup camera, heated seats, 6 airbags, and a power invertor, this truck has everything I am looking for in a pickup. ian.harwood@drivewaybc.ca

Vancouver PR company opens an office in city A VANCOUVER public relations firm specializing in natural resource issues has opened an office in Terrace to expand its northwest client base. “The northern regions of the province are the economic powerhouses for the next generation of British Columbians. We pride ourselves on our work in the communities where our business is generated,” said PR Associates president Rob-

ert Simpson. He said the company keys on the concept of “social licence,” the requirement that companies nowadays need broad-based community support for any project they wish to undertake. As such, PR Associates works to bridge any gaps between companies and community groups and individuals, Simpson added. The company’s client list in the region

includes the Tahltan Nation Development Corporation, which is the business arm of the Tahltan people, and Seabridge Gold, which wants to open a large gold mine northwest of Stewart. The company also worked with the Tahltan Central Council in the lead up to voting by Tahltan to approve of economic benefits packages arising from two AltaGas run-of-river projects within Tahl-

tan traditional territory. And it also worked with the council on the vote by Tahltan people to accept an economic benefits package arising from work on BC Hydro’s Northwest Transmission Line. Both the AltaGas and Northwest Transmission Line packages were approved by members of the Tahltan Nation. PR Associates has hired Terrace mayor Dave Pernarowski to be

its Terrace manager and also have an office in Toronto. Pernarowski said he was looking forward to his new position. “It is a priority for me to ensure local people and companies in northern British Columbia benefit from the natural resource sector,” he said. PR Associates has its Terrace offices on Greig Ave. on the top floor of the building which contains Northwest Training.

TERRACE mayor Dave Pernarowski says he’ll avoid any conflict of interest associated with his new job as manager of the Terrace office of a Vancouver public relations firm. PR Associates, which already has clients in the region, opened the Terrace office to expand its business. “I would not be giving presentations to council on behalf of a client and would likely even recuse myself

from a general presentation to council from a PR Associates client to avoid any perceived conflict. I will always manage this issue carefully,” said Pernarowski. He said that same principle would apply to any council discussion concerning a PR Associates client. Pernarowski had been working since early last year for Kitsault

Energy, a company which wants to develop a floating liquefied natural gas plant at the abandoned mining town of Kitsault on the north coast. Pernarowski said his new position might also reduce his absences from city council meetings, although he noted some of those absences were due to him being on city business. “I would not be trav-

eling as much with my new company so likely I would be able to reduce the number of times I’m away on work related business,” he said. Elected first to city council in 2007 and then as mayor in 2008 and 2011, Pernarowski is undecided about running again in this November’s municipal elections. “It’s never an easy decision when contem-

plating putting your name forward in a municipal election and it’s particularly challenging when you have to factor in how you balance a full-time career with a half-time elected official position,” he said. City councillor Bruce Bidgood, who is also the chair of the Kitimat-Stikine regional district, has already announced his intention to run for mayor.

Mayor will avoid conflicts ■■ Two wheelin’ jasper, alberta fire chief Greg Van Tighem stopped in Terrace March 5 on his way from Haida Gwaii to Winnipeg. He’s raising money to fight multiple sclerosis by riding a fatbike, so-called because of its larger tires. By the time he reached Terrace, he had raised $3,100 toward his goal of $93,000. Early on, Van Tighem battled severe winds. On the weekend, he faced large amounts of snow, making his journey challenging.

Provincial Peaks THE TERRACE Peaks gymnastics club has five athletes competing at provincial championships in Kamloops this weekend, March 14 – 16. The biggest meet in the province, the Artistic Gymnastics BC Championships, sees more than 640 gymnasts take to the mat. Charlize Bretherick (P2 argo), Maia Guerierro (P2 argo), Maya Ebeling (P2 tyro), Ann Zettler (P2 tyro), and Ashlee Monsen (P2 tyro) are representing Terrace – look for their results in an upcoming issue of The Terrace Standard.

Soccer break COACH NICK Kollias’ youth soccer indoor winter clinic is back over spring break (March 17 – 21), with registration open now. The popular clinic teaches fundamental skills through demonstration, practice, and coaching. Boys and girls between the ages of six and 15 are invited to attend – but they must have been registered to play with the Terrace Indoor Soccer Association in the 2013 season.

Play coy THE CIHL’S 2014 Coy Cop is on now in Williams Lake, and the Terrace River Kings are looking to avenge their playoff loss to the Smithers Steelheads, who went on to win the 2013/2014 championship. The four teams competing are the Kings, the Steelheads, the hometown Stampeders, and the visiting Fort Nelson Yeti. Games are on every night this week until the 15th, with semi-finals on Friday, March 14 and finals on Saturday, March 15.

Bantam reps win zones THE TERRACE Kermode MacCarthy Motors Bantam rep team is the latest Terrace minor hockey team to qualify for provincials, winning the best of three northwest district zone final two weekends ago against the Smithers Storm. The teams faced off twice Saturday, March 1, with Terrace winning the first game by a score of 9 – 8, hanging on for the victory after a late rally by Smithers that included three goals scored in a two-minute span late in the third period. Smithers kept the momentum going for game two, with a nailbiting 5 – 4 overtime

victory setting up the winner-take-all final for Sunday. On Sunday, a determined Terrace team stormed out of the gate – scoring in the first minute and adding three more unanswered goals in the first. The Kermodes continued to pressure the Smithers team throughout the game, cruising to a 9 – 1 victory. Mason Richey and Gianni Cormano contributed a hat trick apiece and Terrace goalie Josh Fernandes recorded the victory with Smithers spoiling his shutout bid in the final minutes of the game. Terrace finished in first place overall in

the regular season Skeena Valley League (SVL) schedule with an undefeated record and was awarded pennants for both SVL League and Northwest District Zone champion for the 2013/2014 season. Terrace competed in five invitational tournaments this season (Quesnel, Salmon Arm, Terrace, Prince George and Williams Lake) recording two second place and two third place finishes. The team will now be travelling to West Kelowna to compete in the Tier 3 Bantam provincial championship during the week of March 15 to 21.

Caledonia Sr. Boys fight hard but fall short IT WAS a battle between Terrace and Prince Rupert for the northwest AA senior boys basketball zone title, with the coastal city ultimately prevailing to qualify for provincials. Caledonia’s senior boys opened up the tournament with a 81-46 win over Smithers Secondary, eliminating them from the tournament and setting up the best of three series final between Prince Rupert’s Charles Hays Secondary and Cal. Cal controlled the first half of the first game, with the score 32-19 going into the second half and Cal dominating defensively. But the second half was quite the opposite, with Prince Rupert outscoring Terrace 36-16. “With three minutes left in the game, the score was 48-39 for us,” said coach Joe Dominguez. “And we couldn’t score for the life of us.” Cal turned the ball over and Rupert took advantage of it, outscoring Cal 20-7 in the last quarter and ultimately winning 5548. High scorers for Cal were Cam Netzel with 21 points, Tristan Walker with nine, and

COACH JOE Dominguez, centre, focusses the Caledonia Senior Boys during zone championships. Alex Banovic with six points. “The second game started off very well for us,” he said.

“Our boys played inspired basketball and played with energy despite losing our top scorer Cam Netzel due to an ankle injury.

Cal did a tremendous job on the defensive end.” Cal held them to 12 points at the half, with the score 31-12. Rupert made a run in the fourth quarter and closed the gap, but Cal was able to hold them off and ended up winning by a score of 53-43, setting up a do-or-die final. High scorers for that game were Alex Banovic with 18 pts, Marek Ormerod with 10 pts, Keel Haldane with 13, and Drew Kenmuir with eight. The team would then see its second injury of the tournament. “Unfortunately, we lost Drew Kenmuir (a senior) with a concussion,” he said, of the final. “Again, Cal had to dig deep in order to stay in the game and that they did.” Prince Rupert had the upper edge to start off the second half with a score of 22-18, and increase that lead to 51-41 for the win. “It was a well-fought game but Prince Rupert were able to hit more shots than we did,” he said. “It was a tough loss, but I am proud of how my boys played. They played with pride and left it all on the floor.”

Terrace’s paralympian Caleb Brousseau finished sixth in his first race of the 2014 Sochi Paralympic Games, on until March 16, in men’s alpine downhill sitting skiing with a time of 1:25.62. His Team Canada teammate, Josh Dueck, grabbed silver, in an event that saw harsh skiing conditions and a number of the 21 athletes unable to finish.

ob Hooton, former Regional Biologist for the Ministry of the Environment in Skeena, could never be accused of being afraid of hard work, or of doing his job with anything less than highest standard of professionalism. When a man brings that kind of integrity and determination to the job, he will inevitably have to make some tough, unpopular, decisions that will incur the opprobrium of those less well informed than he. During one of those times when Bob had drawn fire for doing what turned out to be the right thing, I suggested to him that he might want to consider leaving the government for a job with one of the environmental consulting firms that were springing up all over the landscape like fungi in the first rain after a drought. You would have half the stress and probably make more money, I said. I didn’t get in this job for the money, Bob shot back, I got into it for the fish. The federal government delegates the care and handling of steelhead to the province, and because Skeena has more steelhead streams than any other part of the province, Bob and his staff found themselves front and centre in the struggle to save Skeena steelhead. It was then that I first heard Bob ask what the federal fisheries department was prepared to do if a huge run of sockeye arrived at the mouth of the Skeena at the same time as a low return of summer steelhead? I doubt that that question made Bob a

Seventy-nine skiers and snowboarders raced GS over the two days, with 31 racers Saturday and 48 racers Sunday. Like the first race of the season, more participants were girls than boys, and the fastest time seen all weekend was taken by the girls with nine-year-old Jamilla Defreitas clocking a time of 22.03 seconds in the Sunday race. Sunday also had a tie for third in the girls 6 and under with a time of 25.97. Ties are uncommon – but the Womens downhill event last month at the Sochi

pressure by a much more lucrative sport fishery upstream, and pressure from First Nations have forced DFO managers to try and manage the unmanageable. They will never succeed because it’s impossible to fish discriminately with nets. In the perfect storm scenario implicit in Bob’s question, DFO managers, because they have reflexively served industry for over a hundred years, will continue to give the fleets more fishing time and drive steelhead to the point of extinction, an action which is ecologically and economically indefensible. There was another insurmountable challenge implicit in Bob’s question. As far as we know, the perfect storm scenario hasn’t occurred with steelhead, but what about sockeye? There are 30 sockeye stocks in Skeena. The enhanced stocks of Pinkut and Fulton, being the most abundant, get the most attention from commercial fishers. The smaller 28 stocks are indistinguishable from their enhanced cousins. The inescapable result is that these smaller runs of fish, unable to withstand high rates of harvest, will be fished to extinction. For the lesser Skeena sockeye stocks every year is a perfect storm. Fortunately, the Lake Babine First Nations are wise to this and are planning to hold the federal government and DFO to its treaty obligations. I hope they do. I hope they sue. If they do and they win, the federal government will have be forced into ecologically sensitive management, the entire fishery will require extensive renovations, and the entire ecosystem will benefit.

AILEEN FRANK celebrates her 100th birthday with friends and family in Coquitlam, B.C. March 1. She was visited by many people, including Aveline and Gordie McConnell, shown here with her, of Terrace. The celebration included phone calls from a relative in England and Terrace’s Betty Stewart plus cards from the Happy Gang crowd and the United Church among others. Her grandson, Jamie, flew in from Calgary with a big bouquet of flowers for her. She received many letters of congratulations, including one from the City of Terrace, the BC premier, the lieutenant governor, the prime minister, the governor general, and the Queen. Frank was a teacher and lived in Terrace for 72 years.

Enbridge previously had been interested in hydroelectric power possibilities in Gitxsan territory north of the Hazeltons. And it has several licences in the Terrace area, also on Kitselas traditional territory, to look at future run-ofriver hydro possibilities. For Enbridge, which owns the country’s largest natural gas distribution company, and which transports oil and gas through pipelines and which wishes to build the controversial Northern Gateway pipeline, the Lakelse Lake geothermal project is consistent with its goal to double, by 2017, the $3 billion it’s already invested in renewable energy, said company publicTHESE relations official TER WITH Ivan Giesbrecht.

trish parsons, Kitimat

“With all the ups and downs over the years, it’s been tough for Kitimat. We need some stability. We need to know that everything’s going to be good for a long time, not just a year or two. The Northern Gateway project will bring that stability. I’m glad it’s going to bring jobs, but also training. Wouldn’t it be great if our kids could get more education here, rather than heading off to Vancouver or Calgary? For me, the best thing about living in Kitimat is that you can go hiking or fishing on your way home from work. It’s a special place to live. But without jobs and stability, I worry that my kids and grandkids won’t be able to live here with me. And that’s what I want more than anything. So I’m voting yes.”

on april 12, vote yes
