Aid coming for region By JOSH MASSEY SKEENA NDP MLA Robin Austin hopes an announcement from the provincial government to be made here Friday finally demonstrates its paying attention to municipalities straining under the weight of expanding demands from the growing northwestern industrial boom. Austin, who has tangled recently in the legislature with natural gas and housing minister Rich Coleman over housing pressures as people and companies move in anticipation of the development of a liquefied natural gas industry in the region, says the province is behind in responding. The announcement, to be made by community, sport and cultural minister Coralee Oakes at Terrace city hall, is expected to confirm the province is sending up interns to help municipalities and to provide details on how $150,000 in planning money is to be spent. “Northern communities are having real trouble, and companies are having real trouble, processing a bunch of initiatives and they are allocating a number of interns to Terrace and Prince Rupert and Kitimat to help deal

with the backlog on the work,” Austin said. “This announcement recognizes that the cuts to staffing levels in all areas of government have been so brutal over the last 10 years that there are not enough full-time civil servants to do the work.” Austin says the announcement responds to problems he has been hearing from his constituents for some time. “It’s good that all the communities are being supported, because I have heard a lot of complaints from communities and from companies that they don’t have the capacity. “They are completely strapped and overwrought with the amount of work that’s coming in and they were looking to government to say, ‘look part of what we need—yes its housing, yes it’s infrastructure, but it’s also simply bodies to actually administer this work.’” According to Terrace mayor Dave Pernarowski, the plan will also address the allocation of money promised by Premier Christy Clark last September to local governments in the northwest.

Housing, rents top residents’ worry list By MARGARET SPEIRS HOUSING AND rental prices came up as the top negative about living here in an informal survey done by Skeena Diversity Society at the recent Terrace and District Chamber of Commerce Business Expo. Out of the 94 people who responded, 66, which is 70 per cent, shared mostly negative comments with lack of housing as the major impact of current changes here. The survey, “Impacts of Chang-

es in Terrace and the Northwest,” was done to get a sense of the impact on housing due to the improving economy here. “Most of the answers confirmed what we were hearing from others but we did hear more examples of what was going on – personal stories of people struggling to find housing, being at the mercy of landlords, but we also came across landlords who have not raised their rents in any significant ways,” said Sasa Loggin of the Skeena Diversity Society.

It included only three questions with room to add in comments: “How have you been impacted by the recent changes?” “Are the changes mostly positive or negative?” and “Any suggestions what could be done?” Housing comments included rapidly growing costs, “renovictions,” low income families having to leave to avoid homelessness, unaffordability and increased stress as people take in family or friends, hard to find housing for younger people and higher property taxes.

“As landlords can’t legally evict tenants just because they want to raise rents, they come up with renovations as an excuse. In some cases, the renovations are quite minor and one can see that the real reason was changing tenants and increasing rents. Hence the term ‘renoviction,’” said Loggin. One comment emphasized increased costs: “This town has gone crazy – too much greed. Rents and price of housing is way too much. It’s way too expensive for low income and single families living on

one income. We are being evicted and can’t afford to buy a house.” More traffic and the difficulty of getting around at the beginning and end of lunch hour or after work, more truck traffic and the challenge of parking were noted as second highest negative responses with 29 per cent. Of the 20 people who shared mostly positive experiences, more jobs, work and training opportunities were at the top of the list.

News In Brief Murder hearing scheduled

ROOK, THE area’s RCMP police service dog, pictured here during a February training exercise with handler Cpl. Jarrod Trickett at the airport, passed away May 6.

RCMP service dog dies

By MARGARET SPEIRS TERRACE RCMP is looking into getting another police dog after Rook, the region’s RCMP police service dog, passed away May 6. The nine-year-old German shepherd was with handler Corporal Jarrod Trickett on a training exercise north of Terrace when he went into distress after coming out from a body of water. “It is with a heavy heart that I advise Police Dog Rook passed away yesterday of natural causes during a training exercise. He was nine-years-old,” said Terrace RCMP media relations community policing officer Const. Angela Rabut May 7. “Rook was a hardworking, dedicated, member of the RCMP, serving the people of British Columbia well. “The Terrace RCMP have begun the process of acquiring another police dog. In the interim, our area is being covered by the Prince George police dog.” The dog was rushed to a local vet, Dr. David This week’s feature:

Farkvam. As the region’s only RCMP police service dog, Rook, along with Trickett, covered the northwest from the Yukon border and Atlin down to Bella Bella and Bella Coola, out to just west of Burns Lake and east to Haida Gwaii. Rook’s job was to go out with Trickett to look for fleeing suspects, missing people, evidence or to a recent crime with tracks left behind. Lately, Rook had been helping train Eddie, a 14-month-old pup, with her handler, Const. Trevor Mack. In an interview earlier this year, Trickett said Rook would continue to do his job as long as he could do it and wasn’t in any pain, like an athlete. He planned to retire Rook when his service days ended and to then keep him as a pet. Last year, Rook and another dog were the oldest in the RCMP. Rook had been born and bred at the RCMP breeding facility in Innisfail, Alberta, which is where about 80 per cent of dogs in the field come from.

A PRELIMINARY hearing has been set for the man accused of killing teenager CJ Fowler in Kamloops in 2012. Originally from the Hazeltons, Fowler, 16, who had been living in Terrace, was in Kamloops visiting friends with Damien Taylor, the man accused in her death. Taylor is charged with seconddegree murder in the death of Fowler whose body was found in Guerin Creek near downtown Kamloops on Dec. 5, 2012. His preliminary hearing is scheduled for 10 days, beginning on Sept. 22. Police have said Fowler and Taylor had been involved in a dating relationship at the time of her death. Police believe Fowler was plan-

CJ Fowler ning to return to Terrace prior to her death. Taylor, 22, was arrested after an RCMP investigation that lasted more than a year. On Jan. 10, 2014 Mounties took him into custody in Kelowna, where he had been living. (With files from Kamloops This Week.)

JOHN VAN De Velde of John V Construction stands by while Tony Vandermeulen of Anthony’s Excavating takes a break in the excavator at the groundbreaking for five new units at the Tuck Avenue Senior Citizens Residence.

Seniors housing expansion project is now underway AN ADDITION to a seniors housing complex on Tuck Ave. is underway thanks to reduced rates being charged by local trades. And the Terrace and District Christian Council for Social Resources will be seeking volunteer labour as the five-unit construction project moves along, says the council’s secretary treasurer, Lowell Holmquist. Excavation of the site began mid-April and footings were poured shortly after even though the project was not yet fully financed, he noted. “Provincial housing organizations are reluctant to believe that a community like Terrace can come together in a way that benefits a local community-based organization, and ultimately for the benefit of seniors living under the provincial low income cut-off level,” said Holmquist. “However, that is one of the many advantages of living in a community like Terrace.” There are already 18 units in five buildings at the location, providing low cost

housing for senior citizens. With the additional construction, it will be a six building complex with 23 units: 14 bachelor apartments and nine one-bedrooms. The bachelor units are approximately 340 square feet, and the one bedroom units are approximately 520 square feet. The layout of the units is simple and open with large windows in the living area that open on to lawns and gardens and a front and back door to let in fresh air when the weather is nice, says the description of the project on the proponents website. Holmquist said the project is the result of a partnership with the city’s housing committee and the city itself through grants for rezoning and planning. A project steering committee was formed last year among members of the community. City development services director David Block helped secure Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation money for architectural drawings and preliminary expenses. Contributions and reduced trades rates has reduced the estimated cost of the proj-

ect by almost half, said Holmquist. John Van De Velde of John V Construction has volunteered to be the construction manager and he arranged for the reduced rates. The Terrace and District Christian Council for Social Resources, a body of people from a variety of churches, has been in existence since the mid-1960s with its main project being the Tuck Senior Citizens Residence. Almost all of the current units have been completely renovated in the last decade – they are updated or renovated when they become vacant. Laundry facilities are provided in an amenity building where there is also a small kitchenette, washrooms, and a common area. The Tuck housing expansion is one of several initiatives to expand housing options undertaken by the city. It also provided land and assistance leading to the construction of the provincially-owned Market Estates project on Davis Ave. across from George Little Park.

ENBRIDGE NORTHERN Gateway is touting a new agreement with some trade unions that it says will ensure more local jobs and less dependency on temporary foreign workers. The company has announced that it had signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with four trade unions which guarantees a minimum target of 2,100 person-years of employment of union labour on the Northern Gateway project. The agreement was signed with the Pipe Line Contractors Association of Canada and the signatory unions were the Laborers’ International Union of North America, the International Union of Operating Engineers, the International Brotherhood of Teamsters and the United Association of Journeymen and Apprentices of the Plumbing and Pipefitting Industry of the United States and Canada. Northern Gateway official Ivan Giesbrecht said that the agreements will mean the project can maximize local employment on the right-of-way first, then regional and national employment. As well as the 2,100 person-years employment, the MOU is said to ensure that the Project Labour Agreements “include guarantees consistent with Northern Gateway’s publiclystated commitments to local business opportunities, high-quality workmanship, worker and public safety, and environmental protection. And it complements existing agreements with aboriginal communities guaranteeing employment and training opportunities,” according to a news release.

Vet opens TERRACE’S MUCH-ANTICIPATED new animal hospital has opened. Owner and veterinarian Jatinder Kang of the Terrace Animal Hospital most recently worked in Vancouver. He said he was pleased to discover that obtaining materials and supplies necessary to the veterinarian trade wasn’t as difficult as he thought it would be in this remoter part of the province. “People are really friendly and everything we need is available which I was happy to find out,” said Kang. He’s located in the minimall on Tetrault.

Driving students here for training TEN KITWANGA area residents are in Terrace next week continuing their training to provide them with licences and certifications needed to operate large vehicles. The program is being run by the Gitwangak Education Society through money from Tricorp, the Tribal Resources Investment Corporation which finances aboriginal training in northwestern B.C. “The opportunity for training is hard to come by, so when it comes you have to jump on it,” said one of the participants in the program, Guy Morgan, who

lives in Gitanyow. His goal is to get a job operating heavy equipment at one of the mines being proposed for the north, something that will eventually provide for his retirement. The program started in March with air brake certification and finishes up with exams in early June. The training was done by Prince-George based Fox Professional Driver Training. Program administrator Lesley Morgan said this is one of several training and certification programs coming to Kitwanga.

Look upstream Economic changes not always good news By DR. DAVID BOWERING

have recently retired from a long career in public health. During those years, I was part of a growing understanding of the importance of looking “upstream” to learn how to address the chronic disease problems that threaten to bankrupt our health care system. Lack of physical exercise, smoking, and unhealthy eating are “upstream” of the expensive problems of diabetes, heart disease and cancer. Going further, poverty, lack of education and economic inequality are “upstream” of smoking, poor eating habits and sedentary life styles. When one goes even farther upstream all the way to the source, one finds an economy that encourages the rapid exploitation of resources in a manner that ensures that economic inequality gets worse and worse, that the air and water are increasingly polluted, especially in those regions and neighbourhoods where people are already poor and disadvantaged. One finds an economy that dumps carbon into the atmosphere as if it didn’t matter, and that produces and propagates spin on behalf of governments and their corporate sponsors in a way that is designed to soothe and fool people rather than inform them. The insanity of pretending that perpetual growth is a sign of a healthy economy when almost all of the trade is in non-renewable fossil fuels, the astonishing lack of government interest in and support for energy conserving and alternative energy technologies, the strategic abandonment of science that shows our dependence on a healthy environment in all of its biological complexity, and our astounding gullibility as time and again, get-rich-quick boom and bust scenarios are sold to us as if there was no other alternative, are all symptoms of the malaise flowing

FILE PHOTO

A GROWTH in the economy doesn’t always translate into healthy outcomes for the environment and for people, says Dr. David Bowering. from a fatally diseased economic model. The good news is that a great many people understand this. The bad news is that so many of us feel overwhelmed given the success the global energy traders have had at controlling the media, most western governments, and the levers of the toxic economy that make them rich at the expense of the rest of us and of the earth itself. How can we turn this around and how can we possibly build an alternative future in which healthy human values rather than corporate profits are the touchstones that we live and work by?

We can start as individuals who refuse to accept a world view that is simply healthy, unsustainable, and ultimately dishonest. We can take responsibility as citizens and as parents and grandparents for what we consume and more importantly for what we don’t consume. We can stay out of our cars a lot more than we do now. We can educate ourselves in the realities of what we propose to trade for what. Is trading bitumen obtained at great price to our own water supply and environment in exchange for plastics made in Asia really a good idea?

Is losing a healthy river with its wild salmon a risk we should run given our own love of unspoiled wilderness in a world in which much of this immeasurable richness has already been lost? We can grow more of our own food and insist that the food we buy is grown as close to home as possible. We can work to build families and neighbourhoods and communities that are healthy; where people have the courage to say no to damaging mega projects that turn even the nicest towns into soulless strip malls featuring all of the fast food and big box franchises you can find

literally anywhere on earth where the sellout has taken place. We can continue to try to make our democracy work while accepting the fact that the federal and provincial governments whose political futures are tightly tied to the dangerous schemes and gambles of the energy corporations will be the last to come to their senses and that it will be community by community and at the local government level where the changes will have to start. Here in the Northwest we have a golden opportunity to show the world how this can happen. We have the leadership and cultural strength of most of the First Nations people in the region on side. We have allies literally around the globe, and there are many of us who understand that this is a watershed in our history that demands of each of us that we put ourselves on the line if push comes to shove. The more we see expensive commercials implying that spawning sockeye would love to see the “safest pipeline ever” cross their spawning beds and tankers that for some reason will be the first safe ones in history cross the estuaries and oceans they depend on for life, or corporate fly fishermen implying that no one loves the environment like they do, or pastel ads showing a future only a kindergarten child could believe in, the more we know what we have to do and who we are dealing with. In the case of the toxic economy, “upstream” is a long way from here, but if we start in the place where we live, we can have an impact that will begin to work its way up to where the damage is being propagated. Importantly, we and our children and grandchildren will have a better chance at a healthy sustainable future. Dr. David Bowering has recently retired as the chief medical officer for northwestern B.C.

Financial fraud can hurt you By LUCIE TEDESCO FINANCIAL FRAUD is a growing problem in today’s world. Every year, millions of Canadians are targeted by fraudsters no matter their age, education level, income, profession or ethnicity. Criminals are very creative and will adapt their tactics to ensnare potential victims. Identity theft, credit card fraud, real estate fraud, mass marketing fraud, or payment scams are all different types of frauds that you may encounter at some point in your day-to-day life. Staying up to date on the latest scams will help you spot the red flags. For example, a telemarketer selling an investment with “High returns with little or no risk – guaranteed!” may be tempting. But if the offer sounds too good to be true, it probably is. You may be urged to sign a contract without receiving answers to your questions about its terms and conditions. You’re just told that “It’s complicated. You don’t need to know the details.” Peer pressure and sense of urgency are just some of the techniques that fraud artists use. If you experience any of these red flags, do not participate in the transaction. For more tips on how to recognize the different types of fraud, take a look at Lucie Tedesco the Competition Bureau’s Little Black Book of Scams. What to do if you become a victim? It’s easy to fall for a financial fraud, fraudsters are very convincing, they use legitimate sales tactics in their pitches and victims are often too embarrassed to report it. But it’s important to remember that you’re not alone. If you’ve encountered or become a victim of fraud, report it immediately to the proper authorities such as the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre and your local police. If you suspect that your identity or your accounts are at risk, you should also notify your financial institutions and Canada’s two credit bureaus immediately. Reporting fraud will help put a stop to it. Keep in mind that your friends and family may end up being targeted by the same fraudster. Alert them of the potential threat. Talking about fraud can help you and those you care about stay safe. Protecting your identity and your finances is essential to your safety and financial wellbeing. As a general rule, always be cautious about how and with whom you share personal and financial information such as your address, date of birth, Social Insurance Number, credit card numbers or passwords. This information can be used to steal your identity and commit financial fraud, which is why it’s important to take proper precautions to protect it. Delete any email that asks for personal information. Burn or shred any mail or financial papers containing your personal information, never recycle them. Don’t carry ID with you that you don’t need. You should also inspect your financial statements each month and check your credit report at least once a year for irregular or unauthorized transactions, or accounts you didn’t open. Lucie Tedesco is the commissioner of the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada, an agency of the federal government.

EDITORIAL

Sharing TWO more pieces in the picture of how the northwest stands to benefit from resource development fell into place last week. One came in the form of revenue sharing deals between the provincial government and the Tahltan Central Council. The council will receive nearly $300,000 a year from water and land rents being paid by AltaGas to the province for the latter’s McLymont Creek and Volcano Creek runof-river power projects. The second came to light with news the Nisga’a Lisims Government is speaking with the province about revenue sharing concerning Avanti Mining’s proposed $1 billion molybdenum mine at Kitsault. The Tahltan deal is not surprising as it is on top of one providing $2.5 million annually in water and land rents from the much larger Forrest Kerr run-of-river project also owned by AltaGas. More surprising are the talks between the Nisga’a and the province because the Nisga’a, citing environmental and socio-economic concerns, last year took the province to court seeking an order to suspend the provincial environmental approval certificate given Avanti. That court case is now adjourned, leading to speculation there’s a connection between that and the revenue sharing talks. Provided the talks produce a deal that satisfies Nisga’a concerns, a steady income stream can only benefit the Nisga’a and the rest of the region. ESTABLISHED APRIL 27, 1988

Posse aids in criminals’ capture

hen it comes to combating crime, Terrace and Thornhill residents could copy the take charge actions of the farming community of Briercrest, Saskatchewan. On May 3, residents of the prairie village – population 123 in the 2011 census – helped the RCMP locate a trio of truck rustlers who found themselves on foot after a resident, suspecting they had stolen the truck they had driven into town, snatched the keys from the ignition at the first opportunity. That left the city slickers conspicuously on foot in a strange town. In addition, the person who lifted the keys was able to provide police with a description of the truck’s occupants. Only as recently as April 28, residents fed up with vehicles being stolen from their area sought suggestions from RCMP for ways to reduce their losses. The result was the setting up of a telephone tree, one resident to phone the next at any hint of more thefts. (A telephone tree could also serve as a local Amber Alert if one were needed.)

CLAUDETTE SANDECKI May 3 at 4:30 a.m. Milestone RCMP received a report of a stolen grey Dodge Ram located in Briercrest. The vehicle had been reported stolen out of Rouleau, SK. (Dog River of TV fame.) Further investigation revealed that another stolen vehicle, a white Subaru Forester, was located in the town of Rouleau, SK. The white Subaru was reported stolen out of the City of Regina. (Clearly these brains had been jumping from one stolen vehicle to the next.) The RCMP contacted neighbouring Moose Jaw and Regina detachments and traffic members. Seven RCMP

attended along with Chevy, the tracking dog, who had to give up when wet ground erased all scent. The Briercrest community mobilized their phone tree, alerting residents of the three suspects whose whereabouts were unknown and to report any sightings or suspicious activities to RCMP but not to engage the quarry. Residents fanned out in their pick-up trucks; others residents canvassed boggy areas with quads. A local pilot searched from the air. Shortly after noon May 4, a resident reported to RCMP sighting three people walking through a wet and muddy field, a field impassable to RCMP 4x4s. A farmer scooped up four Mounties in the front bucket of his tractor and ferried them to the three suspects. The three, ages 16, 16, and 17, were arrested and were to be charged with Theft, Possession of Stolen Property, and Breach of Probation. These Regina thieves failed to take several facts into account. Briercrest and its surrounding farmland is so flat there’s scarcely a knoll or twig to provide cover for a lizard.

S TANDARD

As a rule, country folk recognize every local vehicle and its customary driver. Any vehicle new to town would be noted – and tracked – from the moment it arrived. Briercrest is mere kilometers from Claybank, so named because the area was the source of excellent clay for a business manufacturing clay bricks and pipes. Wet clay gums up on feet and tires until a tire becomes too thick to fit under the fender. At this time of year, spring runoff can transform area farms into bogs, submerging large tractors and delaying spring seeding until the ground dries out. Before driving off into the hinterlands where gas stations are often few and far between, check the gas tank gauge. Residents have grown fed up with vehicle and other property thefts and are determined to stop it. Anyone contemplating stealing grain from an isolated Briercrest bin, or livestock from a solitary pasture should keep this story in mind. Briercrest folk proved to be a formidable posse and if needed, could quickly mobilize again.

The Mail Bag Tankers can do the job Dear Sir: Re: the recent column by Kitimat refinery proponent David Black that tankers are an environmental threat to the coast. Continued safe marine and pipeline transport of hydrocarbons is in everybody’s interest so Canadians can realize value for resources and oil producers can continue to deliver jobs and economic benefits. No one wants a spill of any product at any time. The performance track record over the past 50 years is good, but even still, work is ongoing to improve prevention and ensure producers, transportation companies and spill-responders have the best information available to manage products safely and make the best plans possible for response, containment and cleanup in the event of an incident. Black’s column incorrectly suggested the

Canadian oil industry is not interested in the proposed refinery project and that transporting diluted bitumen is more risky than transporting other types of oil because of its chemical properties. Fact is, oil producers are seeking increased access to existing and new markets – in Canada, the United States and internationally – to satisfy market demand for increasing Canadian oil production. All options to achieve that goal are worthy of study. Diluted bitumen – oil sands bitumen diluted with natural gas liquids that allow it to flow – is no more dangerous than other types of crude oil. Chemically, there’s nothing about diluted bitumen the transportation system cannot be prepared to manage. Whether it moves by pipelines or tankers, diluted bitumen meets all the same specifications

Any type of oil spilled in water, eventually “weathers” and can be driven below the surface by waves or currents. Diluted bitumen behaves the same way. There have been sev-

eral scientific studies completed on diluted bitumen. Earlier this year, the federal government released a research study that demonstrated diluted bitumen floats on

salt water – even after evaporation and exposure to light. The study was commissioned by Environment Canada, Fisheries and Oceans Canada and Natural Resources

Canada as part of the government’s plan to implement a worldclass prevention, preparedness and response regime for marine transportation.

City ready to chart course for its future

e know that the city could be facing a significant population increase in the near future because of our location as the supply and services hub for the many planned industrial projects in the region. And that means we need to take a look at our housing stock. Although housing is a provincial government mandate, the city has undertaken a number of initiatives in the last few years to increase density and support new housing development. In 2008, a housing task force was set up and in 2009, a housing needs assessment was completed. When the housing task force completed their work, city council established a housing committee to assess the housing needs of Terrace residents on an ongoing basis. The committee developed a housing action plan, which led to an update of the housing needs assessment this year and included a count of the homeless population in our community. The committee also identified the need for more seniors hous-

ing – an additional five units are being built now. In addition to the committee’s work, council has made a number of policy changes to increase density, create smaller lot residential zones and allow for secondary suites in all residential zones, among other things. More recently, city council adopted a bylaw establishing a community amenity charge for industrial work camp accommodations that will eventually contribute to an affordable housing fund.

Development Housing is extremely important, but Terrace also needs to focus on the economic development and job creation opportunities that exist within our community. The Skeena Industrial Development Park located just south of the Northwest Regional Airport, is our city’s biggest opportunity in terms of bringing long-term jobs and stable tax revenue. The development of the park is a joint venture between the City of Terrace and the Kitselas First Nation and both of these com-

GUEST COMMENT DAVE PERNAROWSKI munities will benefit from the tax revenue generated from future development on those lands. Interest in these lands has increased 10-fold amid the influx of other development in the region. The city has already sold 4.4 hectares of available lands to Global Dewatering Ltd., 66.7 hectares to the Kitselas Development Corporation and has a Memorandum of Understanding in place with the Qinhuangdao Economic and Technological

Development Zone (QETDZ) for approximately 405 hectares. Progress is ongoing on the proposed QETDZ project and we anticipate that an agreement will be reached soon. To support the new heavy industrial and manufacturing facilities at the park on the west side of Highway 37, the City of Terrace is planning a smaller-lot subdivision on the 116 hectares of park land on the east side of Highway 37 to make land available for light industrial and support businesses. The build out of the industrial park will create demand for more light industrial and commercial services and will generate significant new residential development.

Planning As well, the city zoning bylaw is being reviewed and a planning exercise is in the works to develop a neighbourhood concept plan for a portion of the heavy and light industrial lands along Keith Avenue west of the Sande Overpass. The exercise will help determine what future land use should

look like in this area to ensure we can accommodate any anticipated growth – during the review of our Official Community Plan in 2011, the community told us that heavy industrial development was no longer the preferred use for this land. We listened. The development of the neighbourhood concept plan is a three to four month process and will involve working with property owners, stakeholders and the community. In truth, we don’t know every aspect of how the coming development will impact our community, but city council, with the support of our dedicated staff, is doing all that it can within its role as a local government to get ahead of the curve. Now, perhaps more than ever before, it will be crucial that city council communicate how we’re meeting the opportunities and challenges we all face. It will be important for residents to engage with us so that we might chart a path for the future of Terrace together. Dave Pernarowski is the mayor of Terrace, B.C.

Port Simpson great place for oil refinery Dear Sir: Anything would be an improvement on the Enbridge bitumen shipping proposal as it now stands. To use David Black’s words in his recent column concerning his refinery proposal, “the grounding of the Exxon Valdez in Alaska in 1989 is often held up as an example of how bad an oil spill ... can be; however, a spill of bitumen at sea would

be much worse. The Exxon Valdez carried light crude. After four years of work, less than 10 per cent of the [oil] has been recovered.” Some say that, with GPS-based navigation and double hulls, spills such as Exxon Valdez are not possible today. “They are wrong,” Black says. “Double hulls do not prevent hull fracture ... most marine accidents are caused by human inattention.”

So another Exxon Valdez could happen in the Douglas Channel, even with Black’s refined products. But, build the refinery and bitumen shipping terminal in a more acceptable location – in the Port Simpson area – and at the same time helping Northern Gateway to regain some BC public support. And begin shipping bitumen to world markets sooner, while we

Tankers work well Results of the study will be used to inform spill responders and help guide more research. Our industry is focused on responsible development of Canada’s resources. We welcome transparency on our safety and environmental performance, based on sound science.

wait for the refinery to be completed. The relatively perfect solution would be to convince Kinder Morgan to also move to the Port Simpson area, also jointly with Enbridge and Black’s refinery. This would very much reduce the threat of bitumen spills in southern BC’s very busy waters. Maybe Mr. Harper could chat with Kinder Morgan folks and start the ball rolling – increasing greatly the possibility that any bitumen pipelines will be built in B.C., ever – as proposed. Carl Shalansky, North Vancouver, B.C.

Brain injury advocate wins national award

A LOCAL advocate for people who have an acquired brain injury now has two national awards. Yvonne Nielsen was presented with the 2013 Brain Injury Association of Canada Award of Merit at a conference in Kingston, Ontario. The award is granted to recognize community members who have exhibited leadership and made significant contributions to advance the cause of acquired brain injury in Canada. Nielsen acquired her brain injury as a result of a car accident. “I have done so much over the 26 years to provide information to this community on acquired brain injury,” said Nielsen of the award. “I have written articles over these years to the newspaper, did school presentations, left the Headline Magazine in various places around town,” she added. Her advocacy list includes a presentation to city council, appearing on a CFTK Open Connection segment and speaking with provincial cabinet ministers and others when they visit the area. “Receiving the Award of Merit means a lot to me,” said Nielsen. Nielsen has, for instance, has asked the city for more and better bike lanes and to have skate boarders wear helmets. She’s also donated a number of books on brain injuries to the Terrace Public Library and to other local agencies. In 2011, Nielsen was named the first-ever recipient of the Debbie and Trevor Greene Award of Honour which is now given annually to a person who makes an extraordinary contribution to advance the cause of acquired brain injury in Canada. Trevor Greene was on duty in Afghanistan as an armed forces reservist when he was attacked by a teen carrying an axe. The blow nearly split Greene’s brain in half and he has since gone through extensive care and rehabilitation with the assistance of wife Debbie.

■■ From unused to art CALEDONIA ART students Colton Sirling, left, and Jordyn Daumont show their artwork that is part of an art project they and their classmates did along with help from artist Laura MacGregor. With an Arts Start grant titled “Art as Function,” students chose an everyday wooden object to paint. They did everything from sanding and priming, creating a 2-D image, and re-creating it into their 3-D object. Sirling’s piece is called Ignis et Grando and Daumont’s is Pieces of the Heart. Their pieces plus artwork from other local schools are on display for the Youth Art Exhibition at the art gallery through May 24.

ere’s a thing, an age-related change: when you get older and have so much information stored in your brain and memory in your muscles, it becomes more difficult to remember where you originally got that info. For example, was it from a documentary or a magazine article that I found out about the habits of fruiteating bats? Was it YouTube or cable TV where how to de-bone a duck was demonstrated? Wait: maybe it was in the movie “Julia and Julie.” Or not. Anyway, I have recently started to make garbage soup and can’t remember how I learned to do so. (Nobody but me calls it garbage soup except that character on Barney Miller with his Japanese fish-head dish.) To make a vegetable-stock kind of garbage soup, you cook as you normally do, except that instead of scraping the onion skins, chive roots, carrot tops, celery tips, red or green pepper tops and seeds, and other bits and pieces of good vegetables into the garbage (or into the compost), you save them. Not the brown gushy stuff or fuzzy moldy things, just the nice cut-off bits. Not in a dingy bucket beside the sink, but in a special bag in the freezer. Mine is blue and ties up fast yet opens easily when I have a handful of garlic skins or tomato stems in my hands. Oh – remember to remove the stickers. When the special bag in your freezer starts getting full, you can think about vegetable stock. Get a pot, fill it with water, set it on high. Almost done. Some people get all fancy and get fresh herbs and tie them a special little permeable bag and hang it off to the

CHARLYNN TOEWS

Garbage Soup side. Phhff. If you are northern or European or both, you throw the herbs and spices right into the stock pot with the peelings. Bay leaf and dill are recommended (or, if you are Mennonite, required by church law) to make the stock schmakje good. Now what? Let it bubble or simmer while you do other things for an hour or so – darn socks, plant a half-acre of potatoes, sew a quilt, or watch Netflix. All are allowed. When the garbage has been delicified, strain the veg bits out, taste it, then add salt and pepper as you like. (NOW the veg bits can go to the compost.) Okay, the moment of truth: slip a spoon in there, blow and sip. So good! Yum yum yummy – don’t eat it all in-

stantly, save some! For chicken noodle soup (add organic egg noodles and chicken and thyme), for rice (instead of water) or for any savoury dish. This is a fact: your son’s girlfriend’s friend will stand in your kitchen slurping soup, saying “This is so good! This is SO good!” and you can nod and say, “Yeah, I know.” I hope at this point you can promise never to throw out veg bits again before first transforming them into to a bright flavourful broth, to be stored in your freezer and labeled as “Veg stock (date)” – can you do that for me now? I recommend using a shallow container you can scoop, a tall one with a pourable spout, either can defrost in a big bowl of hot water. Or go glamorous and freeze as ice cubes. Dem bones: now that I know what I know, I feel deeply sorry about all the carcasses I have chucked. The stuff in and around bones is very good for us. Chicken bones, easy-breezy: chicken thighs, supermarket rotisserie chicken, the marrow gods do not care, just let them out to do their thing. As above, do not throw them away, simmer with a bit of garbage, store. Brown beef bones in the oven first for to-die-for French onion soup. Get your witch’s caldron out, and chant “Double, double toil and trouble; Fire burn, and caldron bubble.” If you have a bit of onion, throw it in, half a carrot, two tired celery stalks, perhaps parsnip peel. Stone soup comes to mind: these bits combined make a beautiful stock. Strain, save, label, savour. Oh, and meat seared in pan – do not discard: Deglaze and reduce.

Homeless population higher than estimated THE NUMBER of local people considered homeless as identified through a two-day survey conducted on the streets and in shelters last month is now 74, an increase over a preliminary count of more than 50. Eight out of the total were perceived to be homeless, and did not fill out the survey. The city-financed count carried out by the Terrace and District Community Services Society (TDCSS) April 22 and 23 is intended to guide efforts to provide housing. Seven respondents said they couldn’t get into a homeless shelter because it was full and another five chose not to stay in a shelter because they don’t like to stay in them. Ksan Society, the local housing not-forprofit runs two shelters—one for women and one for men. The breakdown of gender of the homeless who responded to the survey was 22 females and 44 males.

On the nights of April 21 and April 22, eight homeless people stayed outside or in a vehicle, 19 at someone else’s place, one at their parents, and 16 responded “other” which included flophouses and non-conventional outdoor shelter. Of the total number of homeless, 22 responded that they stayed in the shelter one of those two nights of the survey. Seven said they were turned away from shelters because they were full, two listed other reasons for being turned away and three couldn’t find a shelter or didn’t know about the shelter, and 13 were able to stay with a friend. Of those surveyed, 40 out of the 66 had stayed in the shelter in the previous 12 months and 20 had not. Age-wise, the oldest person surveyed was 73-years-old and the youngest 20. Three were in their 60s, eight were in their in 50s, eight in their 40s, eight in 30s and

seven in their 20s. The survey asked if those responding considered themselves to be aboriginal—44 responded yes to that and 15 said no. In terms of where these homeless received their money, 14 said it was from welfare/ income assistance, six disability benefit, and four from binning and bottle returns. Two homeless people had full-time jobs, two had part-time or causal jobs, two were on the Canadian Pension Plan or other pensions, four had no income, and two responded “other.” Those on disability and welfare said they supplemented their social assistance with bottle return and binning. With regards to health, 22 respondents said they suffered from a medical condition, 14 had a disability, 13 had addiction issues and two mental illness. According to TDCSS outreach worker Michael Watson, who is one of the administrators of the survey, the

rise over past homeless numbers unofficially estimated several years ago at 15-18 is due to rising rental costs. Watson said he recognized individuals on the streets who had been evicted because of renovations being done on buildings after which the rates were hiked by the landlords. These are called ‘renovictions’ and have been reported in several northern

WHEN OUTGOING superintendent Nancy Wells signed her first contract with the Coast Mountains School District, she intended to stay six months. She ended up staying three-and-a-half years – in part, because she didn’t want to leave the district with work unfinished. But Wells, who handed off the reins to new superintendent Katherine McIntosh May 1, is now confident the district is “on the cusp of some hugely exciting times” and believes that as long as the district remains focussed and on track, learning outcomes will improve going forward. “In education, things don’t happen quickly. It’s taken us three-anda-half years to get us to a place where we feel we’re a moving, improving school district, and it will take more years to see the results improve,” said the veteran administrator, who first worked in the district in the early ‘80s and then worked throughout the province before she was approached to take on a six-month contract as superintendent following the sudden departure of superintendent Rob Greenwood in 2010. “The district had been through some rough times,” she said, of that time. “Morale was low, teamwork wasn’t really happening. There wasn’t a focus on what I believe the focus should be, which is student learning, so I just tried to bring everybody in line around a focus of student achievement.” A lack of confidence on numerous levels, teacher job action in

“I look at Northern Gateway and see a project that will build families and communities for generations. That’s what I’m most proud of.” - Catherine Pennington, Senior Manager, Community Benefits & Sustainability

Meet the expert:

We at Northern Gateway are committed to ensuring that jobs and business opportunities will be available to people living near the Project’s right-of-way.

IT ALL ADDS UP TO COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT In Catherine’s experience, removing barriers to employment has a huge impact – not just on individual job seekers, but on their communities as well. When you connect someone to a job, you also build individual and social pride, enhanced connections, dignity and ultimately, stronger sustainable communities. “As a trained social worker with experience in community development, I have found it very rewarding to work in Industry. You have the opportunity to create really meaningful outcomes that are mutually beneficial. Our model of shared responsibility for working with communities is unique and is being emulated by other companies.”

DEDICATED TO MEANINGFUL ABORIGINAL INCLUSION Catherine connects willing job seekers with existing and emerging opportunities. She is focused on helping the Project meet its goal of having Aboriginal people comprise 15 per cent of the construction workforce. “Many Northern communities are experiencing or have experienced desperate cycles of poverty, in part due to a lack of the necessary skills for the existing employment opportunities. I believe people in Northern and North Western B.C. have yet to fully realize their enormous potential. By actively investing in better education and skills training, opportunities for advancement and connections to good, steady jobs, we know we can make a real difference.”

SUCCESS ACROSS THE NORTH We have held discussions with numerous training providers, colleges, universities and employment service providers in Northern B.C. to identify programming needs to help Aboriginal and local people take advantage of the surge in energy projects in the region. We have also worked to tailor programming to the needs of individual communities. “Fundamentally, there’s nothing more powerful than helping someone make that connection to employment, because it leads to a larger, more positive and healthier social outcome.” As a company and a neighbour, we want to see Northern residents get the best opportunities because that benefits us all. It’s how we will build more than a safer, better pipeline, we will help build a better B.C.

Two injured in accidents

JOSH MASSEY PHOTO

■ Smooth work WALKERS, JOGGERS and cyclists now have a smoother journey along the Millennium Trail extension parallel to Hwy16 thanks to Terrace Paving crews, who laid down asphalt last week. The work is leading to the completion of the project, which was started last year. Long-term plans call for the trail to extend west to the Kalum River. Concrete panels and new asphalt were also put down on the Kenney St. rail crossing last week, eliminating what had been a bumpy ride over the tracks for cyclists and motorists.

Trade connects us.

A 12-year-old girl suffered minor injuries as did a 17-year-old boy on a bike when both were struck by vehicles in separate injuries over a 24-hour period from May 6-7, report Terrace RCMP. The girl was struck on Scott Ave. and Kalum St. by a small grey jeep. The driver failed to stop. But the driver of the incident involving the boy did stop, say RCMP. Police are also reminding motorists and others that this is Canada Road Safety Week. The focus will be on behaviours that put drivers, passengers and other road users most at risk: impaired driving, seatbelt use, and all aspects related to aggres-

sive and distracted driving. “The deaths, pain and broken hearts that

result from carelessness behind the wheel can be prevented,” says

Gov’t to announce aid for region The $150,000 is to go towards “targeted funds to study the impacts that LNG developments have on community water and sewer systems, roads, health, safety and social systems,” according to a ministry release last year. The money can “be used for a range of activities related to assessing the technical, environmental and/or economic feasibility of municipal infrastructure projects necessary to support LNG development,” the release said. The announcement comes in the wake of a heated debate between Austin and Coleman in the provincial legislature of which Austin says the housing minister appeared to have woken up to the fact that Terrace and Kitimat can’t wait for the sound of shovels digging on LNG projects for help solving the housing crunch already taking hold. “I have noticed some movement in Rich Coleman,” said Austin. “About a year ago he was pretty noncommittal. I think now he has heard loudly not just from me but from city councils and he understands now we have a housing crisis long before there is any investment decision on LNG. “I’ve heard stories of people who are looking for housing here and there is no BC Housing available here so they are moving to Burns

Lake,” Austin said. But now, he said Coleman has started a process to change subsidy levels to match current rental prices, a

change which housing advocates in the region have been seeking for some time. Subsidy hikes announced at the end of

April affect all B.C. communities outside Metro Vancouver equally and apply to Shelter Aid for Elderly Renters (SAFER) and the Rent-

al Assistance Program (RAP). The total increase is $62.5 million over five years, which works out to $12.5 million a year.

The change raises the rent ceiling in various categories which means the amount of aid money will increase on average for those re-

ceiving it, with families seeing an extra $40 per month and seniors $34 per month average, according to a BC Housing release.

Housing Positives also included welcoming of more people with new energy and ideas, new stores and shopping choices. But the influx of new people also came up as a negative with not enough jobs going to local people and not wanting new people to change the community. “We would like to hold regular community dialogues engaging the community in coming up with solutions to the impacts and strengthening our relationships with each other,” said Loggin. “I would encourage people to stay tuned and not hesitate to let us know if they are interested.”

Together, we’ve built Canada. Together, we’ll build Gateway.

T:14”

When working people benefit, Canada benefits. That’s why we support Northern Gateway. Canada’s trade unions have always fought to ensure working people and their families benefit from economic growth. That’s why the Pipe Line Contractors Association of Canada and four national unions—representing the most experienced construction workforce anywhere in the world—are proud to support the Northern Gateway Pipeline.

The Memorandum Of Understanding our unions signed with Northern Gateway ensures the project is built to the highest possible environmental and safety standards. It supports Northern Gateway’s commitment to jobs and lasting social benefits for Aboriginal communities. And it helps ensure new training opportunities for young people— opportunities that will last them a lifetime.

Northern Gateway is a nation-building project that has the potential to secure long-term energy and economic security for the next 100 years. But only—and this is critical—if it is built right and for the benefit of average families and the communities in which we live.

As trade union members, we place a high value on protecting our natural environment. We have been building pipelines for over 60 years and know what it takes to protect the environment we all value. The Joint Review Panel process was

Rob Kinsey United Association of Journeymen & Apprentices of the Plumbing & Pipefitting Industry of the United States and Canada

Lionel Railton International Union of Operating Engineers

Neil Lane Pipe Line Contractors Association of Canada

the most comprehensive environmental review for an oil pipeline Canada has ever seen, and its recommendation found that we can build Northern Gateway while still protecting our environment. For these reasons, our trade unions— and the 300,000 Canadian working men and women we represent—believe Northern Gateway is the right choice for Canadian workers and their families. When working people and their communities benefit—as they do with Northern Gateway—then we all benefit with a stronger, fairer, and more prosperous country for every Canadian.

ANNA KILLEN

Girl, do you even lift? Upcoming competition has many saying yes By ANNA KILLEN “CONTROL,” BOOMS trainer Adam Yawrenko. “You don’t want to follow through, you want to keep that back locked. Just up and down... Like a piston.” We’re at the Northcoast gym in Terrace and I’m learning how to bench press – an idea that sounded fun when I pitched it, but is becoming less and less appealing as the session goes on and I begin to realize that I’m probably not going to be able to move my arms for a couple of days. “You’re going to hate yourself tomorrow,” Yawrenko says, gleefully, as my arms begin to shake, the 45-pound bar wobbling back and forth above my chest. I breathe, steady and get my form back, remembering to keep my arms straight, my shoulders back, my core tight, my legs locked. With Yawrenko’s coaching, I manage a couple more sets – and come to the conclusion that cardio only isn’t going to cut it anymore. My workout partner for the day, Angela Zanardo, is much more impressive with the bar. After only training for a few months, she’s able to lift 90 pounds, and is serious about lifting more. She’s in training crunch time right now – as are the other 40-plus competitors getting ready for the gym’s May 25 weightlifting competition, which will see athletes from Terrace, Kitimat, and Prince Rupert take over the gym to compete in bench press and dead lift. There will be smaller competitions for members of the Terrace Northmen Rugby Club and of Terrace Minor Hockey, and seven out of the 40 people signed up are women – a solid number, says Yawrenko. It’s technically the sixth time the gym has had this competition, but its been on hiatus for three years. This year, people around the gym started asking about a competition and the decision was made to bring it back. If everything goes to plan, Yawrenko said he wants to see Terrace-based judges trained so that there can be official competitions here in the future.

Bluebacks boast best meet of year THE TERRACE Bluebacks had an “excellent” meet in Kitimat the first weekend in May, said coach Mike Christensen, with the team hitting their highest points total of the season with 409 points. Renzo Zanardo posted top points with 35, with Thomas Christensen (34), Jade Heathfield (33), Anke de Wit (31), Jonus Lecuyer (27), and Harlene Takhar (27) rounding out the top. Swimmers Avery Back, Mackenzie Bannister, Eva Barnett, Erin Billson, Caelyn Christensen, Aubrey Gingles, Bella Lang, and Jonus Lecuyer all posted 100 per cent best times. There were a number of first place finishes in individual events. Jade Heathfield placed first in the 50 Breast & 200IM, Renzo Zanardo took first in 200 Free, Hazel McDaniel placed first in 400 Free, Harlene Takhar in 400IM, and Thomas Christensen in 200Back. And the relay team of Juliet Lukasser, Avery Back, Caelyn Christensen, and Erin Billson finished first in the 10 & Under Girls 200 Free Relay. Bluebacks also clocked in at 'A' time standards: Mackenzie Bannister - 50 Free in 39.15, Jonus Lecuyer - 50 Free in 33.91, and Renzo Zanardo - 50 Free in 33.00. And for 'AA' time standards, Anke de Wit - 100 Free in 1:05.67, Jade Heathfield - 200IM in 3:11.15, and Pasha Ormerod 50 Free in 32.11, hit the mark. The Bluebacks are now readying for the last regional meet of the year in Prince Rupert June 6-8.

THE TERRACE Northmen Rugby Club hosted a 7’s tournament Saturday, May 3 at the Northwest Community College field against their northwest compatriots to kick off the season and gear up for Rugbyfest in Edmonton over the May long weekend. Speaking after, Northman Adam Linteris said it’s still tough to say how the Northmen will do this season. “We have a pretty athletic group of guys but we are a pretty physically small team,” he said. “I think we will do well, though PG and Williams Lake are always really good so we have a lot of work to do if we want to put ourselves in a position to win. It’s going to be a fun season though.” That’s Jordy DaCosta making the play for the Northmen, and on the left is former Northman Jarryd Kurisu.

Netzel high jumps to first TERRACE TRACK and field athlete Cameron Netzel was the lone Terrace athlete to attend the Prince George Sub Zero meet May 3 and he didn’t disappoint. Netzel was in fine form, winning the specialty high jump with this year’s best time of 175 cm. His attempts to tie the meet record for high jump came just short, but he also won long jump, triple jump, and placed second in javelin. Netzel travelled with the Prince Rupert team and their coach Dighton Haynes. Haynes used to coach in Terrace before moving to Prince Rupert this year. Nisga’a Nation Track and Field took a strong contingent to the meet, placing fourth overall out of the 12 teams in attendance. Nisga’a athlete highlights include a first place finish for James Griffin in 800 m, Seth Williams’ first place finishes in discus 1 kg and javelin, Zane Brown’s first in discus 1.75 kg, Marlyn Morven’s first in 400m, Ashneel Rai’s second in triple jump, Brendan McMillan’s third in discus 1.5 kg, Justin Stuart’s third in triple jump, and Terry Clayton’s third in discus 1 kg.

Copeland initially approached the TYSA board about having the festival, which took place over two days. At right, Landyn DaPonte, 7, practises his footwork during the May 3 session.

Soccer skills upped TERRACE YOUTH Soccer Association (TYSA) kicked off the season with a weekend soccer festival May 3 and 4 at Christy Park. The two-day event saw around 355 young soccer players (about half of the entire organization) train using GAG (Game Activity Game) Methodology, which breaks up practices into segments of games and skill development. BC Soccer sponsored the day, sending facilitators to Terrace from the Lower Mainland to assist with the festival, one of many similar events held province-wide.

TYSA’s new technical director John Sneddon was on hand all weekend, and he’ll be on the field every week until the end of June. On Saturdays, aside from game play, teams will work one-on-one with Sneddon on skill development. “It’s giving them time with a professional coach,” said TYSA vice president Sean Bujtas. And it’s not just the players who will benefit from this change – parent coaches will learn valuable coaching skills as well. “He’s not just teaching players, he’s teaching the teachers,” said Bujtas.

hen I first began fishing the Lakelse River, the remains of what appeared to be some wooden steps could be seen about a hundred metres upstream of the train bridge on the right side of the river. Pioneer angler Gene Llewellyn, who first fished the upper reaches of the Lakelse over 60 years ago, told me they were all that was left of a mill once operated by Claire Gigge. I began calling the crumbling route that led to that spot Gigge’s Road until Ron Cote, who was still working a trapline in the Lakelse Corridor at that time, read one of my columns in which I used that name and told me he thought the road was built by Hud Fisher. After that I began referring to it as Fisher Road, which seemed singularly appropriate. To reach Fisher Road, you turn off Beam Station Road approximately a click south of Herman Lake, then instead of driving the lumpy branch to the Herman’s Point parking lot, you turn east. The road was built to access timber. It was built by men who had little understanding of the impacts roads can have on wildlife. The builders laid the road across a host of creeks that drain the land flanking Mount Herman. The importance of those diminutive arteries is in inverse proportion to their size. Most were blocked then went dry when the hydrological structure of the parts of the forest they once irrigated were altered by clear cutting. Hai Creek was

“It’s like practising hockey your whole life and never having a game,” explained Yawrenko, of why the competition is important. “Some of these kids want to have a chance. And you’ll find that their personal records, their personal bests go up under a meet like this.” Northcoast Fitness owner Ashley Whittington said the competition, which will be one of the biggest events the gym has ever had, is for everyone and gives people at all levels of training an opportunity to set and achieve a new goal. “It’s not just for powerlifting people,” he said. “Anybody. Youth, females... It’s about setting goals for people.” “Achievable goals,” adds Yawrenko. “Set achievable goals, obtain that goal, and set another achievable goal.” The weightlifters who competed three years ago have at least one goal – a most improved award will be given out at the competition, and the 40 people who compete will be up for the award next year. And while it gave a good idea of what competitors do to train before a competition – a lot – the crash bench press session I experienced isn’t how one would seriously go about learning how to lift, cautions Yawrenko. Typically, one would train on machines and build up strength before trying out the bar. And it’s important to get the help of someone who knows their way around the gym for a few sessions to minimize the risk of injury. There’s an art to gaining strength and testing the limits, and it’s something that is built up over time. “You don’t get stronger by lifting something once, you get stronger by doing it repeatedly,” said Whittington. The competition gets going at 10 a.m. on Sunday, May 25 at Northcoast gym. there was a substantial wooden bridge spanning it, then, about a decade ago, the perfectly sound structure was pulled due, no doubt to issues of liability. This was an extraordinarily stupid decision. With no bridge across it, fish rich Herman Creek was exposed to ATV operators who simply drove through it on a regular basis despite the illegality of doing so. Recently a new span has been installed over Herman’s to give some timber company access to timber that should not be logged, so Herman has been give a reprieve, that is until that bridge is inevitably pulled. The old Ministry of Forests is not part of the FLNRO conglomerate. Its powers are considerably reduced, which given the deplorable job it has done with the provincial forests, is a good thing. One of its duties now is to police ATV use. To this end it has hung up signs and nothing more. It’s time that DFO and FLNRO joined forces to put Fisher Road to bed once and for all. ATV use needs to be banned. The Culvert at Hai Creek has to be pulled. All the damage done by the fool with the Bobcat has to be repaired. A hundred metres past the Herman Creek Crossing, the fissure I mentioned earlier needs to be widened and protected with concrete barriers so that the road and the creeks its construction compromised can be given time to heal.

Driveway editor Keith Morgan writes today about how a 3-day rally along picturesque B.C. roads turned him to the idea of a B.C. summer ‘staycation’. Will you do a road trip holiday though B.C. this year, and if so where to?

Then we bypassed Kelowna and headed for Beaverdell, admiring the evidence of the now defunct historic Kettle Valley railway. Then the chilling hail hit but a single glass of beer at Rock Creek restored us us. We weaved our way north along the valley, through wine country, to Penticton. “Piece of cake,” said George the next day as he looked at the route to Hope. The winding back road trail to Princeton was a joy but the last stretch home was not. First, we were hit by snow, then hail that numbed our faces as we descended from Manning Park. I thought I had made a significant anatomical discovery when it appeared that the icy wind blasting up my right nostril seemed to exit through my left ear. Of course, it could have been the hole in the left side of my helmet. There was one other little challenge. The panel failed so I had to peer at my handheld GPS to figure out what speed we were doing then shout at the top of my voice when George exceeded the posted limit. We made it safe and sound. “Next year, Sid?” “I’ll get back to you, George.” keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca

Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got your license, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got your proper gear, now all you need is your motorcycle. Here are a few things to consider before signing on the dotted line. Budget Establishing a budget is probably the most important thing to outline when it comes to your new ride. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re buying used, this is particularly important. You might be tempted to spend an extra couple of thousand on the bike of your dreams. But if the dream bike just happens to be a nightmare and costs you an unanticipated fortune on repairs, you might find yourself in a pickle.

Buying the right motorcycle for the right price New or Used? There are differing benefits to buying new or used. New bikes have warranties, but a used bike that might not be too old could still have one. Is buying either way better than the other? Not necessarily. Buying used you could get a more upscale model for your budget. Private Sale or from a Dealership? Speaking from experience, buying through a private sale can be a good way to go, especially on a budget. I found my bike on Craigslist. But if you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pay cash up front, dealers generally have financing or payment plan options. Private sales donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. continued on page A31

Dealers also have most likely done a tune-up or some service in preparing the bike for the sale.

Check the VIN through ICBC or a Trusted Database It might cost you a few extra dollars to run a bike’s VIN through a trusted database but can save you multiple headaches in the end. It will show if the bike has been in any reported accidents and detail the damage. It’ll also show if there is money owing on the bike or if it was reported

stolen. Keep in mind, if the bike is from out of the country, the record likely won’t show. When I went to buy my first bike, I had my heart set on a beautiful Yamaha R6. It looked brand new and perfect. The seller said it had never been in any accidents and had all original parts. I left thinking that the next day I’d be riding this beauty home. However, I paid my $20 (at the time) and found out the bike had been in two accidents with damage costs of more than $3,000. If you’re buying through a dealership, they might even have the bike’s history on hand for you. It never hurts to double check.

Buying the right motorcycle for the right price The Myth of Displacements Many new riders like to set a cap on the cc displacement they’re willing to get for their first bike. I had a reader write me asking what he should get. He’s 6’2”, 220 pounds and had long limbs. He didn’t want anything higher than a 250cc though. I asked him why. He said he wanted something manageable for his first bike. With long arms and legs, a 250cc bike wasn’t going to fit him! Or vice versa. I told him to look at cruisers, like the Harley-Davidson Sportster, Honda Shadow, Suzuki Boulevard S40, Yamaha Bolt. They might have a higher displacement but they’re going to be

If the seller thinks it’s too much work, then it’s your call if you want to continue to work with them. I wouldn’t buy a bike without knowing what I’m getting into.
