Latest hot commodity? Hotels By ANNA KILLEN ADD HOTEL rooms to the latest list of developments just started or being contemplated here. On top of last week’s long anticipated start of construction on the 100 room, five-storey Sunshine Inn Executive Suites on Hwy16, last week’s announcement of the intended purchase of Chances Terrace by an Alberta-based hospitality conglomerate, means another hotelier has jumped into the Terrace scene. Pomeroy Lodging announced

May 13 it wants to buy Chances Terrace from the current owners, Lucky Dollar Bingo Management Ltd., with an intended closing date of June 30 pending approval from British Columbia Lottery Corporation and the provincial gaming policy and enforcement branch. But the company is interested in more than just the local gaming facility. Pomeroy, which began in B.C.’s Peace region and operates hotels, restaurants, and gaming facilities across B.C. and Alberta, has indicated its intention to break into the hotel market here.

Terrace has “been on our radar for a little while,” said Pomeroy president Ryan Pomeroy, speaking at the Chances Terrace property late last week. “We own and operate the gaming facility in Fort St. John and we’re in the hotel business, and Terrace fits well with our business model. We only operate in small, northern communities, so there’s been a lot of similarities to other markets we operate in, so it’s a good fit.” Smaller, northern towns are key to the company’s business model, he said.

“We put a lot of money back into the communities we operate in,” he said. “We can have more of an impact and be a better corporate citizen in smaller cities rather than someplace like Vancouver.” And Pomeroy said he’d “love to” operate a hotel in Terrace. “We’re very interested and actively looking at expanding our business here in Terrace,” he said, noting that a hotel wouldn’t likely be built near the gaming facility but on another property in the area. That puts the amount of potential new lodging facilities at four.

For now, Smithers developer Kim Tran’s Sunshine Inn is the only one where construction has begun. The city and a Calgary company called Superior Lodging announced a deal in April 2013 for the latter to buy a large piece of the former Terrace Co-op site for $877,500. At the time, Superior Lodging was contemplating a 100-room hotel, a pool, a waterslide and other amenities.

Local gov’ts receive help By JOSH MASSEY THE PROVINCIAL government says it’s going to give northwestern B.C. local governments up to $1 million to handle growth pressures tied to industrial development. The announcement was made at city hall by minister of community, sport and cultural development Coralee Oakes during a visit to Terrace last Friday. “The item that was the most significant and important for me is how to prepare the northwest communities for the great opportunity but also the great challenges we have ahead,” said Oakes of her first year as MLA in charge of her own ministry, adding that it will be “the measurement of how I do in this position.” The money will flow in two equal streams for assessment and for planning – one to figure out what water, sewer, road and other projects are needed and the other to adapt land use and other associated bylaws as industrial expansion takes place. Oakes said she recognized the $150,000 promised to the northwest by premier Christy Clark in September wasn’t sufficient to help communities deal with the impacts of industrial growth. “I went back with what I had heard from the communities and I said ‘look, this isn’t really going to be enough to help the communities to prepare,’” she said. Regional districts and municipalities in northwestern B.C. will be able to apply for the money through the Northern Development Initiative Trust which, along with representatives of the provincial government, will help groups develop proposals and decide how the money is allotted. “Northern Development Initiative Trust is our partner on this and I think it’s a great fit because Northern Development is from the north and it’s made up of community members in the north who sit on the board,” said Oakes.

Mayor won’t seek re-election TERRACE MAYOR Dave Pernarowski has announced he will not be running again for the position in this November’s local government elections. “After careful consideration and consultation with my family, I have decided to announce today that I will not put my name forward as a Mayor candidate in the November 2014 municipal election,” said the mayor in a May 14 statement. The announcement ended months of speculation as to whether he would run again. Pernarowski says the challenge of juggling family life and work had reached the point he could not adequately pursue his career with PR Associates, the Vancouver public relations company which hired him to run its newly-opened Terrace office, and fulfil his mayoral duties. “I took on everything that came at me and that means you aren’t doing your other job full time,” said Pernarowski, citing a justcompleted city business trip to China followed by attendance this week at a major LNG in BC conference in Vancouver as an example of obligations that forced him to miss time at his day job. “It’s not often that I would turn down a meeting but I had to from time to time,” Pernarowski said of the reverse scenario—when he had to decline meeting with industry leaders because of obligations in

his private life. “Many companies from China and Japan and all over the world are looking at Terrace and looking to meet with the mayor,” he said. “I’m going to be flat out until the election,” Pernarowski continued. He mentioned changes he has seen in Terrace since he started his life in municipal politics in 2007. Pernarowski was first elected to Terrace city council in 2007 via a byelection to fill a vacancy when councillor Rich McDaniel passed away. He went on to defeat longserving mayor Jack Talstra in the 2008 local government elections and was re-elected in 2011. Pernarowski said the atmosphere has gone from down-inthe-dumps to revved up with new industries coming and traditional ones like forestry regaining momentum. “It was tough around here. A lot of what I did [in my first term] was related to building confidence and optimism.” Pernarowski said he is impressed with how the community is responding to economic change. “It isn’t really about any one person,” said Pernarowski. “It’s been all the people in the community who step up making things happen. Right from the administrative staff from the city of Terrace who do all that work, to the community organizations, to the volun-

You wouldn’t have the success that we’ve had without everyone participating in that way. From my perspective I have always been really impressed with people who do step up and are taking on those responsibilities. It’s been pretty cool to watch.” He said the coming local elec-

tions, in which council members are to be elected for four-year terms, up from three years, are going to be crucial. “The next mayor needs to be a person with a community-minded approach, someone who can listen to all angles of a situation before forming a decision. It’s important people get out and vote who that best person is for mayor and coun-

cil.” “It’s going to be such an important election for the city I would really encourage people to take a good look at the candidates coming forward and I hope we see a strong ballot.” He may not be running again, but Pernarowski says a full time mayor’s position is important. See Page A4.

Mayor affirms position that job should pay more MAYOR DAVE Pernarowski may not be running for re-election in local government elections this fall, but he hasn’t abandoned his view that the mayor’s salary be increased to reflect the time needed to do the job. A notice of motion put forth by Pernarowski to open council debate on the topic was on the agenda for the May 12 council meeting but was put off until the next meeting on May 26 because councillor Bruce Bidgood, who has said he will be running for the top job, was absent. Council must settle the issue in advance of a task force it has formed to review mayor and council salaries. The task force is expected to report back the third week of June, but the report could be delayed until early July depending upon council’s decision regarding the mayor’s position. “The changes that are happening in our community right now are rather dramatic. There will be challenges around in-

frastructure, health care, social programming, RCMP policing,” said Pernarowski in stating his case to increase the mayor’s salary in light of increased demands being placed on the position. “I think the role of mayor needs to be seriously looked at in terms of whether or not this city is ready to put a full-time or fully compensated mayor position in place so we can have someone who can dedicate all of their time and all of their attention and their passion to the job.” Pernarowski said there are aspects to the job he would have been able to give better attention to if the pay was such that he could afford to do the position fulltime. “Some of these files, like a second overpass in Terrace, those kinds of files, require someone at a political level to be consistently advocating to be working through the system of different levels of government where you are providing them with info they need to fund major struc-

tures like that.” “My motion isn’t about making a decision right away, but that the task force that was formed to look at council remuneration to also look at the mayor as a full-time fully compensated position – what does that look like, to bring research back to council, so what other communities are doing that or have a full-time mayor in place like Prince George for example,” said Pernarowski. The council salary review task force consists of a representative from the Terrace and District Chamber of Commerce, one from the Kitimat-Terrace and District Labour Council, one from the Terrace and District Community Services Society, former city councillor Brad Pollard and retired public sector administrator Andre Carrel who will represent the general public. The mayor’s job now pays $34,002 and each member of council receives $12,121 this year. One-third of the remuneration is tax-free.

ELECTRONICS ARE rapidly becoming the new addiction among teens and adults, and those with an electronics addiction show the same behaviours as drug or alcohol addicts.

Real life vs. living online Electronic devices may become necessary, but they’re also addictive By MARGARET SPEIRS ELECTRONIC DEVICES may seem like a great babysitter or a way to keep in touch with others but they can turn into an addiction. Lots of people can’t seem to put down their iPhones, watching for every text message, twitter or facebook post to the point where they walk down the street oblivious to what’s going on around them due to the distraction of their digital device. And evidence and research is showing that digital devices are every bit as much of an addiction as drugs or alcohol, perhaps even worse. While you don’t need alcohol or drugs to live, digital devices are necessary, which makes it important to strike a balance between using them when needed, and perhaps for entertainment, and putting them down to take part in everyday life. Addiction is the continued repetition of a behavior despite adverse consequences, or a neurological impairment leading to such behaviors. Addictions can include, but are not limited to drug abuse, exercise addiction, food addiction, computer addiction and gambling. Classic hallmarks of addiction include impaired control over substances or behavior, preoccupation with substance or behavior, continued use despite consequences, and denial. Habits and patterns associated with addiction are typically characterized by immediate gratification (short-term reward), coupled with delayed long-term costs. Cpl. Mike Dame is working with the RCMP’s Drugs and Organized Crime Awareness Service, based out of an RCMP building here separate from the detachment. He helps communities and individuals make healthy choices for living and has done a lot of research and made his own observations

about electronics and their addictive capabilities. “When I speak with parents and make the connection of electronic devices to the definition of addiction, they usually immediately have a story of how their kids won’t stop playing with the devices, how they fight with their kids about use of devices, how their kids are isolating themselves to access their devices, how they are not going outside and playing – they prefer to sit on the couch beside their friend and play with their friends with no actual physical communication between them and a few have stated that when they took away the device, their normally non-violent child struck at them for the first time ever,” said Dame.“All you have to do is bring up the topic and make the connection of addiction and electronic devices and the light comes on [in their minds].” For children nowadays to grow, develop, access information and communicate, electronic devices are part of their lives, he added. With substance abuse, the solution is abstinence but electronic devices can’t be abandoned entirely. “Speaking from my own personal experience as a father, I know that I am the enabler for my children to have electronic devices and still struggle with the balance of keeping them exercising, growing, learning, providing them with information, developing skills to make healthy life choices on their own and face all the same challenges as the other parents out there,” he said. “From the research I have read and relying on life skills and common sense, no one focus – consuming one food group only, to doing only one exercise over and over, only learning about one topic etc – in excess is a healthy practice and creates a huge imbal-

ance in life.” In an article titled “Why are video games addictive in nature,” the authors say parents need to move on from the fear of their children becoming addicted to smoking, drinking or taking drugs and look at whether their prepubescent child or adolescent is getting addicted to video games. Dame said this statement is true in a lot of ways and a person has to be realistic by focussing on, and being aware of, all threats. For most families in 2014, children have their own electronic devices or access to them most of the time, but that doesn’t hold for illegal substances, he said. “How many children under 14 have that type of access to substances on a daily basis, if at all? Several of the research papers suggest restricting electronic use to two hours a day – that includes TV time. Most importantly, though, parents should help their kids find alternatives to video games.” Trying to get their children into sports, joining the school band or an after-school club, or just playing outside are some ways to do that, he said. “Don’t be afraid of the words, ‘I’m bored.’ The truth is, if they get bored enough, they’ll find something to do, you just have to monitor to ensure it is a good activity,” said Dame. “You can always offer to give them some extra chores and see how fast they get creative and un-bored.” In a 2013 survey “Young Canadians in a Wired World, Phase 3, Life Online,” 39 per cent of students with cell phones sleep with them in case they get calls or messages during the night – the peak is just over 50 per cent of students by Grade 11, but 20 per cent of Grade 4 students also sleep with their phones.

It also said the most frequent online activity reported by students was playing online games (59 per cent). And online gaming can also become an addiction for young people. Game designers are always looking for ways to make the games more interesting so people spend more time playing them. Games are made to be just difficult enough to be challenging while letting players achieve small accomplishments that compel them to keep playing. Massive Multiplayer Online Role-playing Games are considered especially addictive because there’s no ending. The study did show some positives such as parents who are engaged in their children’s online lives. More than 84 per cent of the children said they have rules about being online, their parents going online with them or teaching their children about online issues.

EDITORIAL

Housing ASK anyone at city hall and they’ll tell you it’s not the city’s job to provide either moderately-priced housing or subsidized housing for those on low or fixed incomes. That’s the responsibility of the province. But what the city can do – and is doing – is influencing or assisting housing projects. That’s the case with the Terrace and District Christian Council for Social Resources, which has just started a five-unit addition to its Tuck Ave. seniors complex. The city helped with the planning and the paperwork. It was also the case with the province’s Market Estates subsidized housing complex on Davis where the city provided the land. As argued passionately in a letter to the editor this week, out-going Ksan Society executive director Carol Sabo worries the city may want to sell other land it owns because it can fetch a handsome price due to market demand. Ms. Sabo’s contention is based on a so-far unsuccessful attempt by the Ksan Society to have the city provide land for a low-cost housing project it wants to build. Clearly, there are not only differences of opinion about what the city should do, there are also limitations as to what the city can practically accomplish. A public meeting earlier this year touched on social issues. Now, more than ever, there’s a need for a city council townhall meeting to specifically address housing. ESTABLISHED APRIL 27, 1988

Refrigerator design not elder-friendly

espite a fully stocked fridge, some days I risk going hungry. My leanest days are the first two or three after weekly shopping. Every fridge shelf is crammed, blocking my view of the foods I’m hoping to serve at my next meal and making access to them difficult. Not until the day before I shop again will the fridge be empty enough to be convenient. The bulk of my weekly shopping consists of fresh fruits and vegetables. Both take up a lot of fridge space, unlike chips or packaged cookies which can be stored on a cupboard shelf. Most of my fridge shelves hold double tiers – long slithery plastic cartons of raspberries balance on cartons of eggs, and smaller cartons spill out of the cheese bin. Lowest bins hold larger fruits and vegetables – oranges, carrots, yams. Primarily, the shelves are too long from front to back. To reach the item farthest back, I must either remove everything until I reach it, or I end up squashing my cheek against the fridge frame as though a determined robber

During a three-day visit from my sister, before every meal I scoured the shelves for a carton of blueberries dragging everything out on to the floor. Still no sign of blueberries. Had I bought blueberries? And did I pack them in or leave them on the cashier’s belt? To be sure I had bought blueberries, I dug out my

cashier slip from the tissue box holding notes destined to become stove starters. The slip assured me I had bought blueberries. So where were they? I went out and rustled through my pickup in case the carton had fallen out of the shopping bag and disappeared under a seat. If they’d been there, they would have been frozen. But they weren’t anywhere in the truck. As I prepared our last lunch together before I drove her to the airport, I found the blueberries under a bag of grapes. The carton was too shallow to suggest its presence. Refrigerators such as mine appear to be designed by specialists who have a limited familiarity with the way the appliance is expected to perform in the average home. So long as they meet safety and other codes they are deemed fine. Even if the company employs focus groups – another of my doubts – they might disregard vital suggestions as being too expensive, cutting too deep into the profit margin, or critical to too small a customer base, like Chevrolet cancelling key locks in passenger doors of Montana

pickups. Well, those engineers may wise up when they turn 75, especially if they have to rustle up their own meals. They’ll wish they had paid more attention to the focus group’s recommendations and less to extra expense. To simplify life for anyone with creaky joints,why aren’t fridges built with seethrough frames? One look from any angle would disclose which foods sit where. Being able to find something easily would reduce frustration and power bills. A welcome touch would be a fridge built on a pneumatically operated pedestal like a mechanic’s hoist. Press a button and the fridge would rise 12 inches, doing away with the need of a prayer bench while delving the lowest shelves. And circumvent overly long shelves by installing lazy susan shelves or shelves that readily glide forward like a cabinet drawer. Big fridges come with French doors, freezers in the bottom instead of the top, greater access to shelves. Why don’t smaller fridges provide the same conveniences?

CITY-OWNED LAND on Haugland Ave. is favoured location for low cost housing complex.

City land use draws query Dear Sir: As the outgoing executive director of Ksan House Society, I’d like to bring up, again, the willingness of Ksan Society to build 20 units of low cost housing. On February 10, 2014, the mayor was quoted in a story in The Terrace Standard regarding the high rents being charged by some

landlords. Below is part of that story, which has some very good words from the mayor. “Just because you can rent out your basement suite for $2,500, doesn’t mean you should. That’s the word from Terrace mayor Dave Pernarowski, who, along with other

members of Terrace city council, have been speaking with residents who are increasingly anxious about either finding a place to live or coping with rising costs amidst an increasingly tight rental market. Taking advantage of a strong economy market is one thing, but setting rental prices that are negatively af-

fecting our community and makes us appear to be greedy and insensitive is a problem,” wrote Pernarowski in a response to a local resident lamenting the area’s sky-rocketing rents on the mayor’s public Facebook group. Expanding on his comments later, Pernarowski acknowledged that “it’s a fine balance

and a bit of a tough statement, because certainly I understand market conditions, and when the market was tough in Terrace, those landlords were not, in a lot of cases, seeing any renters at all and they were certainly charging dollars that were a lot lower.

Dear Sir: This past Mother’s Day, my family was travelling back to Smithers from Terrace. As we neared Kitselas Canyon, a large number of RCMP vehicles raced past us. A disturbed man had set his car on fire, effectively blocking the highway in both directions. He attacked an approaching vehicle with an axe, apparently threatened others, and then sat down with his axe to await a confrontation, one he never received due to the expert intervention of the RCMP on the scene. The motorists gathered a safe distance from the scene, watched for several hours as the police carefully set up a perimeter, ensuring safety for everyone involved, including the man who started the problem. Our predictions for how it would end ranged from Tasers, to gas, or far worse. While we could not hear or see what occurred very well, we could tell they were patient and kind in their treatment of him. The confrontation ended peacefully, even though clearly that was not the man’s intention. Too often, our news outlets only report these situations when they end badly, and we rarely hear of the likely hundreds of successful situations like this one. That opinion has been confirmed by the lack of coverage of this event. I would like to take the time, on behalf of my family, myself, and the other grateful motorists that day, to thank all of the members involved for their fine work. I think this is especially important to say during RCMP week. There are people out there who appreciate what you do. Warren Kluss, Smithers, B.C.

Here’s a way to fix our voting system

he Canada Elections Act needed amending. As first set out by the Conservative government, the original changes encouraged and rewarded abuse. However, I disagree with the amendments passed last week thanks to the Conservative majority in the House of Commons. Bill C-23 ignores the principle of equality of representation which is the problem at the root of the Canada Elections Act. In a multi-party society, the first-pastthe-post voting system encourages abuse which it then rewards with power. The abuse built into our voting system is that it routinely metamorphoses a minority of popular votes into a majority of parliamentary seats. In the British Columbia general election of 1996, the NDP won a majority on the strength of 39.45 percent of the popular vote while the Liberal Party with 41.82 percent became the opposition. Premier Glen Clark and the NDP did not cheat. They gained majority control of

the legislature and the power to govern as a consequence of the winter-take-all voting system’s inherent inequities. However, the temptation to ever so slightly tilt the system to favor the party in power is enormous and the rewards for doing so are rich. Replacing our winner-takeall voting system with proportional voting may be too radical a departure. That does not mean, however, that we are doomed to be governed by the wiliest among our political parties. With a relatively simple amendment to the Canada Elections Act, we could adopt a two-round voting system to provide for a second ballot in every constituency in which no candidate received at least 50 percent plus one of the votes in the first ballot. A second round would take place with only the top two candidates from the first round listed on the ballot. A two-round voting system would ensure that all MPs are elected by the majority of voters in their constituencies. In other words, we would have a

GUEST COMMENT

ANDRE CARREL parliament whose members individually and together represent the will of the majority. However, majority parliaments as we know them today would tend to be rare. Judging by historic election results, coalition governments would tend to be the norm with a two-round voting system. We have voted in 33 general elections since 1900; only six 1900, 1904, 1917, 1940, 1958,

and 1984 - resulted in parliamentary majorities matching the will of the majority of voters. The prospect of coalition governments may be a cause of concern for some, but such fears are unfounded. Coalition governments have been the norm in Germany since 1945, the most peaceful and most economically and socially productive period that country’s history. It defies logic to suggest that fairness, efficiency, effectiveness and accountability are best achieved when legislative and executive powers are vested in just one party. How can any single political ideology embrace the full diversity of Canada’s social, economic, cultural, and historic characteristics from coast to coast to coast? Forming a coalition government necessitates flexibility. A parliament in which all members are elected by a majority and which is not dominated by a single party is better suited to hold government to account. Adopting a two-round voting system in Canada would not be a first for

a country governed pursuant to the British Parliamentary system (New Zealand used it in the 1908 and 1911 elections). Two-round voting systems are in use by stable democracies such as Austria, Finland and France, and by more recent democracies such as Poland and Chile. Bill C-23, even with the amendments called for by the Senate Committee, will render government less accountable and weaken Canadian democracy. However, rather than defending the status quo and demonizing the government, political parties who plan to participate in the next general election should offer Canadians an alternate amendment to the Fair Elections Act. New Democrats, Liberals, and Greens should work together and jointly commit to amend the Canada Elections Act with the introduction of a two-round voting system which would strengthen Canadian democracy.

Diluted oil a threat to B.C.’s coast Dear Sir: In a May 14, 2014 letter to this newspaper, Greg Stringham, on behalf of the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers, makes assertions about the behavior of diluted bitumen (dilbit) in salt water that are at best half-truths. He states that dilbit floats on salt water and that it is no more dangerous at sea than other types of oil. That is wrong. It is more dangerous at sea, and infinitely more so than refined fuels like diesel and gasoline. What Stringham doesn’t mention is that the same report from Environment Canada that he quotes from, goes on to say that dilbit sinks in seawater when there is sediment present. Another study by a top U.S. environmental chemist, Jeff Short, says the same thing. It was filed by the Gitxaala Nation to the National Energy Board in March 2013, so Stringham is well aware of it. That study says animal and plant matter like plankton, as well as sediment, cause the dilbit to sink. Our entire coast has sediment and plankton in abundance. All our rivers are glacial and full of silt. Plankton is omnipresent, which is why the whales are here, and shallow seas like Hecate Strait throw up huge amounts of sediment from the bottom in storms. Dilbit will sink in our waters if there is a spill and it will harden up like caulking material on beaches and the intertidal zone. The intertidal zone includes large mud flats in the midcoast because the tidal range is more than 20 feet there. How would we ever get them clean again? Stringham also says our Canadian oil industry is interested in the Kitimat refinery idea. That is news to me. I have talked to all the companies and there

is no interest whatsoever. That is why I am spearheading the project. It will keep dilbit out of tankers and provide an enormous value-add for BC. Canada’s oil industry needs a west coast pipeline. Coastal First Nations, the Yinka Dene First Nations, Prince Rupert, Kitimat, Terrace, Smithers, the provincial and federal NDP, the federal Liberals, the provincial and federal Green Party, many blue collar unions and the majority of folks in B.C. are against Northern Gateway’s idea of putting dilbit in tankers. A refinery is economically viable. Why is it so hard for our oil industry to see that the way forward is to build a green refinery which will cut greenhouse gases by 50 per cent, create thousands of jobs, generate billions of new annual taxes, and gain acceptance for a safe pipeline?

Land use queried

“Market conditions would allow them to upgrade their units and charge more money but it just seems to me that there are some, I’ll say, that perhaps are taking advantage of a situation,” he continued, emphasizing that’s not the case for all landlords. And now, in May 2014, if I wrote those words, mine would say: “Just because the City can sell the land it owns, doesn’t mean you should. That’s the word from Ksan Executive Director, Carol Sabo who, along with other members of her staff have been speaking with residents who are increasingly anxious about either finding a place to live or coping with rising costs amidst an increasingly tight rental market. “Taking advantage of a strong economy market is one thing, but setting a purchase price that is negatively affecting our community and makes us appear to be greedy and insensitive is a problem,” wrote Sabo in a response to local residents lamenting the area’s skyrocketing rents. Expanding on her comments later, Sabo acknowledged that “it’s a fine balance and a bit of a tough statement, because certainly I understand market conditions, and when the market was tough in Terrace, as when the Province of B.C. wanted to build low income seniors

units, the City was certainly charging dollars that were a lot lower, zero, in fact. “Market conditions would allow them to liquidate city holdings intended for low income housing and charge more money but it just seems to me that there are some, I’ll say, that perhaps are taking advantage of a situation,” she continued, emphasizing that’s not the case for all communities.” I had a conversation with city councillor Stacey Tyers some months ago where I stressed the city must take some responsibility for the social concerns within the community, now and in the future. I explained why then and I’d be willing to appear before council to explain it to everyone. It’s part of what builds strong communities and it’s what neighbours do – it makes us more than a corporation looking for profit. Land that has already been earmarked for housing, a project where more private land does not need to be purchased, is a perfect means to take that responsibility through a long-term, low cost, lease. That is the single item that is stopping 20 low cost housing rental units. Just because you can charge market value doesn’t mean you should. Carol Sabo, Terrace, B.C.

Environmental Assessment of the Proposed Prince Rupert Gas Transmission Project

Open House and Invitation to Comment Prince Rupert Gas Transmission Ltd. (Proponent), a wholly owned subsidiary of TransCanada PipeLines Limited, is proposing the Prince Rupert Gas Transmission Project (proposed Project), an approximately 900 km natural gas pipeline from near the District of Hudson’s Hope to the proposed Pacific NorthWest LNG liquefied natural gas export facility on Lelu Island, within the District of Port Edward. The proposed Project would involve the construction and operation of a 48-inch (1,219 mm) diameter pipeline, metering facility, and three compressor stations, with provision for up to an additional five compressor stations to allow for future expansion. The proposed Project will have an initial capacity of approximately 2.0 billion cubic feet (bcf/day) with potential for expansion to approximately 3.6 bcf/day. The proposed Project is subject to review under British Columbia’s Environmental Assessment Act. The Proponent has now submitted its application (Application) to obtain an environmental assessment certificate, which is required before any work can be undertaken on the proposed Project. In order to provide information to the public about the Application, and to receive comments from the public, the Environmental Assessment Office of British Columbia (EAO) invites the public to attend Open Houses at the following locations.

Relay for Life raises more than $100,000 THE RELAY for Life highlights included another money motherload of more than $100,000 raised and kicked off with speeches, including one that defined the meaning of the word ‘survivor.’ Relay for Life donors gave a whopping $134,088.03, the total as of May 13. Makisha Bauer, who gave a speech before the day kicked off, said she had thought the meaning of the word survivor had to do with dealing with pain but that’s not it. She said a survivor is a person who prospers, thrives and grows in the

past because it has made them stronger and not to dwell in the past

because you are here today. Afterward, chair Kory Tanner said the

whole day was “awesome.” People enjoyed the theme “Carnival for

a Cure” and teams had games at their tents for others to try.

Tanner thanked the volunteers, sponsors and those who donated.

Flea market has history THE GEORGE Little House Flea Market, now in its seventh year, has offered a wide variety of items in its history, including the unexpected. “Antiques and history have always been my passion and that is why I love the George Little House and the local treasures that do get discovered at our Sunday Flea Market,” said Debbie Letawski of George Little House, who sells vintage pieces of furniture that she’s collected during the past 25 years. She would go to antique auctions and flea markets and most of her collection has been used at George Little House events, displays, schools and even last year for the Terrace Little Theatre. The flea market started to bring the community downtown, and at that time, the George Little House had its weekly Tuesday Teas but staff was looking for an attraction for our VIA Rail passengers Sundays, said Letawski. At 10 a.m., the VIA Rail would arrive and a local flea market seemed like a fun event, she added. Ruth Lindwall, a hospital auxiliary volunteer, was invited to the event, and would set up with all proceeds going to the auxiliary, she said. “Ruth passed away a few years back and everyone misses her amazing sense of humour and her

great local treasures she would have on their tables,” said Letawski, adding Ruth would have a box of lego every week for one of the train engineers. Train passengers and VIA rail crews would run from the train to the flea market to shop, and vintage milk cans, trunks, bikes, toys they bought were packed back onto the train, she added. Local multimillionaire Bob Erb was a regular vendor until he won the lottery but by the sounds of it, he still likes to pick, said Letawski. Regular vendors come from Kitimat, Terrace, and one even comes here every summer from Vancouver Island to visit his daughter and to sell at the flea market, she said. “The biggest item that sold at our flea market was an Ocean Boat. We have had a lot of Terrace and regional treasures purchased such as carvings, paintings, pictures,” she said, adding in terms of “funny items” at the market, there’s too many to mention. “The flea market is always slow to start with regulars coming out but is really busy during Riverboat Days as more tourists are in town.” The George Little House Flea Market goes from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. every Sunday until September 7 in the cul-de-sac in front of George Little House.

age,” it says. “Currently holding his arm together are 36 staples, two plates and pins.” The page was made to help his family because he will be required to stay in hospital in Vancouver for quite a long time and for them to be away from home and work can become quite a burden on family finances.

Students share art talents YOUNG ARTISTS at Centennial Christian School are sharing their work with the community in different ways. First off, Terraceview Lodge approached the students to do a mural on the walls and doorway at the end of a hall in their dementia unit. With the door disguised by artwork designed by student Foster Mantel and painted by Sydney Mantel, Lucas Lanterman and Chelsea MacDonald, residents in the unit can walk down the hallway and turn around rather than stop and try to open the door to leave. Next, art teacher Tim Block asked parent Henry Turpstra to cut up plywood into the shape of snowboards for students to design images for the top and bottom – both images had to be consistent with each other. “I approached him because I thought maybe he would be able to do that and he was willing to do it so he spent several hours just sawing up plywood,” said Block. About 60 were done and students from Grade 4 to Grade 12 sanded, primed and painted the designs on them.

CENTENNIAL CHRISTIAN School students Sydney Mantel, Lucas Lanterman and Chelsea MacDonald show off their work at Terraceview. The design was done by Foster Mantel. “The kids really enjoyed it,” said Block. Parent Karen ShawCarter liked the project and thought they’d be a perfect match at Shames Mountain. She contacted Shames general manager Christian Theberge and he agreed to put 12 of the snowboards up. They’re on the main level of the lodge close

to the ceiling on the support beams. A poster nearby lets people know that the students made them. “What a chance for have students’ artwork to be displayed and I also thought it’s a way for the students to give back to the community,” said Shaw-Carter. Block asked Turpstra to saw the extra snow-

board pieces into surfboards, which Grades 4 to 7 students are working on right now. Once again, both sides will be painted but the design for the surfboards has to be fish or flowers. “They just work at their skill level which I think is the coolest thing about this,” said Block. “The kids who are really good at draw-

ing, they can create more like an illustration and the ones who are less keen on that can still work on colour and simple shapes to make cool surfboards. It’s very inclusive.” The finished works will be on display at the school’s evening of arts, which also will feature a band concert and dessert night June 5.

NORTH AMERICAN SAFE BOATING AWARENESS WEEK IF YOU DRINK, DON’T DRIVE There’s a windsurfing launch site in Collingwood, Ontario. Just next to it is a large inukshuk. That inukshuk was built to honour the memory of Pete Crompton. Pete was an amazing guy, by all accounts. He was a member of Ontario’s ski team. He was a scratch golfer. And he was a stellar windsurfer. Windsurfing was his passion. He loved the water and he loved speeding across it, propelled by a stiff breeze in his sail. If he had lived past his 27th year, there’s no end to what he could have achieved in his life. But Pete didn’t live to see 28. He was killed in a boating accident in 2003, struck while sitting in the stern of a friend’s boat on Lake Joseph. The driver of the other boat was charged with 8 different offences but, chief among them was “impaired operation of a vessel causing death”. When the Canadian Safe Boating Council speaks to Canadian boaters each year about the dangers of drinking and boating, there is no gentle way to do it. Drinking is dangerous on boats. It can lead to deaths like Pete Crompton’s. Every death on the water is avoidable but that’s especially true with alcohol. The motto on the road is “if you drink, don’t drive”. It’s the same on the water. And so are the laws. Legally, there are only very few instances when you can drink on a boat in most provinces in Canada. Specifically, it is legal to drink if the boat is tied up at the dock or anchored for the night - in other words, you’re not going to drive it anywhere - and if the boat is equipped like a residence, complete with sleeping accommodations, a galley and a head. Many people don’t realize this. They assume a boat is a floating version of their cottage, a mobile bar. It isn’t. First and foremost, a boat is a vessel in the same way a car is a vehicle under the Highway Traffic Acts in all provinces and

territories in this country. If you are convicted in Canada of driving a vehicle under the influence, you lose your licence. In many parts of Canada, the same thing applies if you are under the influence in a boat and you’re not meeting the two conditions mentioned above. And you might lose your car driver’s license too. The Canadian Safe Boating Council completed a survey that confirmed some longstanding bad habits among boaters. The study focused on drownings involving boats in Canada and demonstrated that, in nearly 40% of the deaths, alcohol was detected or suspected and 23% of victims were above the legal limit. The effects of sunshine and a boat’s rocking motion increase the effects of alcohol and, for a boater, a simple ride can turn into a dangerous dunking. A big wave, a quick change in the boat’s direction, or a ‘tippy canoe’ can result in someone in the water. However, Pete Crompton’s death was different. He was hit and killed by an impaired operator, a driver so intoxicated he couldn’t avoid slamming into another vessel on open water. When he died, Pete became not just a statistic but a life cut short, its promise never fully realized. Fortunately, his death was not in vain despite how senseless it was. Pete’s father, Ken, lobbied for changes to the drinking laws in Ontario that now reach out to include boat operators.

It’s that simple - If you drink, don’t drive.

Crime prevention goal of local RCMP officer A NEW policing position here is taking a different approach to crime. Instead of reacting to crimes after they’ve happened, it involves being proactive and working on prevention. “Investigators are always investigating an incident that’s already happened,” said Cpl. Mike Dame of the Drugs and Organized Crime Awareness Service (DOCAS), a new position here in Terrace. “This focuses on stopping an incident from happening.” There is a similar position in Prince Rupert but it doesn’t extend its area of service to here. When more money came from the provincial government for more positions around the province, this position opened up and Dame grabbed it. There are 13 DOCAS positions in the province. In all of Dame’s nearly 20 years of policing, he’s done every aspect of the job from general duty to major crimes and drug files but says that this is the first chance he’s had to get information out into the public ahead of time so people can make choices to prevent unhealthy behaviours. “It’s an exciting position and I’m enjoying it,” said Dame.

Culinary Business OppOrtunity availaBle Owner/OperatOr/Manager wanted

Hirsch Creek Golf & Winter Club has now completed renovations in their kitchen area and are seeking interested parties to manage, lease, and/or operate the kitchen. This is an excellent business opportunity for a professional food service operation. Interested applicants must have successful culinary experience and be able to work with the HCG&WC to obtain all applicable food service permits. Please contact Robin Lapointe, P.Eng., HCG&WC Board President with your expression of interest at robin.lapointe@lapointe-eng.com Please note all applications will be kept confidential; however, only those selected for an interview will be contacted.

RCMP CORPORAL Mike Dame has a new position here in Terrace. The position involves getting community groups together with police to get a proper message out to young people, families, community on healthier lifestyles and healthier choices with the main focus on substance abuse, says Dame. He covers off drug education and the WITS program so if a school needs information, he has it or will seek out and provide the needed resources. His job also involves helping communities put together their own Community Prevention

Education Continuum, drug prevention that involves prevention and uses the strengths of the communities. “It’s easier to build stronger children than repair broken adults,” said Dame. The position is very broad and the big thing is to get people information so they can make good choices, he said. Dame has spent a lot of time researching information. To start, he’s working with a project with the middle and high schools up to New Aiyansh to provide the

community with information to promote healthy choices. His area includes New Aiyansh, Terrace, Kitimat and out east to Houston and Granisle. And it’s a federal position so he doesn’t answer to the local RCMP detachment, but rather to his boss who is in Vancouver. Dame’s former position at the detachment here, officer in charge of the general investigation section, crime reduction unit and drug squad, has been taken over by Cpl. Mark Alexander.

Other options include a panoramic sunroof, a heated steering wheel, ventilated front seats, tri-zone automatic climate control, and rear door window blinds. Driver-assist safety technologies are also available in abundance for those who like the car to do some thinking for them. The new Genesis is also a statement of intent: it heralds what will be the look of the seven new less-premium Hyundai products expects to grace our showrooms before 2016. When it comes to driving, it’s really a tale of two cars. The top-of-the-line model offers a big V8 5-litre power plant, with 420 horses at its disposal. Ironically, it’s best enjoyed jogged along at low speed on the highway, where it has the feel of an old-fashioned big family sedan. (It’s not a lot of fun on the twisting lakeside roads of the Okanagan.) Cars destined for the Canadian market will come with an all-new HTRAC

active wheel drive (AWD) system. Says Hyundai: “Performance of the vehicle’s all-new platform was validated in some of the world’s most demanding driving environments, including Germany’s famed Nürburgring Nordschleife and Korea’s Yeongam Formula 1 racing circuit.” The large variety of proving grounds offered by the northern Okanagan was much more appealing to me. And especially so in the car equipped with the 311 horsepower, 3.8-litre GDI V6 engine. Flipping between the Normal, Eco and Sport modes and tapping the gear-changing paddles on the steering wheel made for an enjoyable drive. Little lean in the corners and sprightly up hill. Both engines are coupled to an 8-speed automatic transmission with a SHIFTRONIC manual mode. The base price is $43,000, $48,000 gets you the Luxury version, and $53,000 loads up the tech features. If you want the V8, get ready to spend $62,000. keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca

The all-new, third generation 2014 Toyota Highlander Hybrid Limited AWD tips the scale at 2,200 kg (4,850 lbs.) Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a svelte vehicle. Inside, this Highlander can carry up to seven passengers. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a cramped vehicle. And behind the third row of seats, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a cargo capacity of 385L.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s big, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heavy, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s light on fuel than 1,000 kilometres in a week, perhaps youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d think Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a little crazy to want to take this (relatively) heavy and large SUV along for the ride. Normally, I would too. But thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a word in its name that made me want to take this beauty of a beast for the long haul: Hybrid. As I entered the Flaxen (aka beige) adorned cabin, I reached for the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Eco Modeâ&#x20AC;? button underneath the redesigned centre stack. I gave that a push. The Eco mode is a feature that lessens the throttle response in an effort to help save fuel. You can still do all your normal

Granted, in Eco Mode, it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give you the peppy acceleration you might like. Then again, if prompt acceleration is what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re after, skip the Eco Mode and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exactly what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get. Whether I was driving in the city or on the highway, the Highlander has a smoothness to it that makes me love being behind the wheel.

The all-new 2011 model year edition of Regal was built in Germany and based on a rigid Euro-car chassis, and could be ordered with a turbocharged engine and had a driverselectable suspension system. It would also be the first Buick to offer a manual transmission, since the 1980s. Not since the days of Grand National, a big engine rocket, last produced in 1987 (and still cherished by Buick enthusiasts), had we seen a hard-core sports version of the Buick Regal. Yet, this Regal is a very different beast. While it may not possess the awesome straight-line power of its ancestor, it’s a hoot to drive for different and probably better reasons. It was based on the German designed Opel Insignia, which was the 2009 European Car of the Year. The 2011 Regal was made in Germany but then (2012 and on) all production was switched to Oshawa, Ontario. The overall design profile of this Regal is coupe-like, even though it has four doors. Up front, there’s a modern version of Buick’s traditional “waterfall” grille and an extra-large version Buick’s tri-shield emblem. At the rear, the sloping roofline connects to a short deck with distinctive and large wrap-around taillights. The turbo engine versions of Regal should definitely be on the checklist of buyers looking at mid-sized sporty frontdrive premium sedans such as the Volvo S60 or Acura TSX. Regal has a longer wheelbase (a more comfortable ride) and comes with a larger trunk. The base CXL trim comes with a 2.4L direct-injected engine rated at 182 horsepower (136 kW) mated with a six-speed automatic transmission. It’s a drive combination that provides decent power and very good highway fuel economy, rated at 6.5L/100 km. The CXL Turbo trim, on the other hand, comes with a 2.0L turbocharged direct-injection engine that’s rated at 220 horsepower (164 kW). The auto transmission is a crispershifting six speed unit and its 6.9L/100 km highway fuel economy is still good, considering the extra power. Buick expanded the Regal line to four for the 2012 model year, with the addition of eAssist and GS editions. The eAssist edition has a mild-hybrid powertrain that uses an electric motor/lithium-ion battery pack combo to boost power to road wheels when needed, and conserves fuel. It’s the most economical edition of Regal with a frugal city/highway fuel economy rating of 8.3/5.4 L/100km respectively. The GS edition is a more potent version of Turbo that rides lower and comes with Brembo front disc brakes and 19inch or 20-inch (optional) wheels. Under hood its turbocharged engine can produce 255-horsepower and 295 ft-lb of torque. Acceleration to 100 km/hour is under 7-seconds and its highway fuel economy is 7.4 L/100 km. The base (CXL/2.4-litre engine) edition was dropped for the 2013 model year and trim levels offered were eAssist, Turbo, Turbo Sport, and GS. On the safety front, standard equipment includes a stability control system and the OnStar emergency service. It comes with six air bags and rear seat side air bags were an option and standard on GS. Regal’s crash test performance was also outstanding and earned it a “top safety pick” rating from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. So far, overall reliability has been “average” according to Consumer Reports, but it did get a “recommended buy” rating and is one of the top-rated vehicles in its class. Price Check: 2011 - 2013 Buick Regal (May 2014) Year Edition Expect to Pay Today 2011 Regal CLX Turbo $19,000 to $23,000 2012 Regal Turbo $22,000 to $26,000 2013 Regal Turbo $26,000 to $30,000 Prices vary depending on a used vehicle’s condition, mileage, usage and history. A complete mechanical check should always be performed by a reliable auto technician prior to purchase. Safety Recalls: 2011 to 2013 Buick Regal: 2011: The spare tire size was listed incorrectly, with the letter “T” missing on the Tire Pressure Label. The label should properly indicate the spare tire size as T125/80R16. Since this does not pose any risk to vehicle safety, no corrective action is required. 2012: On vehicles equipped with High Intensity Discharge (HID) headlamps, the Body Control Module (BCM) may have been incorrectly programmed during the manufacturing process, thereby preventing parking lamp activation. Dealers will reprogram the Body Control Module. 2012/2013: Vehicles equipped with eAssist, the Generator Control Module (GCM) may not function correctly and cause a gradual loss of battery charge. This will illuminate the malfunction indicator lamp and eventually the engine may stall. In addition, there may be a burning or melting odour, smoke and possibly a fire in the trunk. Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the Generator Control Module.

Aiding in establishing a serene setting is a host of creature comforts like heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, second row captain’s chairs, easy access to the third row, keyless entry, navigation, an 8-inch touchscreen and much more. We’ve already established its size, and while it fits up to seven, it doesn’t feel that big to drive. Sure, you need to make sure you watch its width but manoeuvring it around in parking lots isn’t a chore at all. Thanks to its rack and pinion-type,

electric power steering, you can move around graciously. Though this is not my first hybrid SUV that I’ve tested, I am always excited to see how well these machines perform in regards to fuel economy. After all, there’s a 3.5L, V6 engine under the hood, which is then matched with an electric motor, a Sealed Nickel-Metal Hydride battery and an Electronically Controlled Continuously Variable Transmission (ECVT). The result is a net 280 horsepower. There’s also a 1,587 kg (3,500 lbs.) towing capacity.

It’s big, it’s heavy, it’s light on fuel Looking at the estimated fuel results, it’s rated at 6.8L/100km in the city and 7.2L/100km on the highway. Keep in mind the aforementioned stats about its size and weight and those numbers are really impressive. My real world numbers? A combined average of 8.9L/100km. Not bad. Not bad at all. Most of my driving was done on the highway so the hybrid system doesn’t have a chance to run off electricity alone at those speeds. Oh, and it’s all-wheel drive.

“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.

Obituaries

Marie (Leclerc) Hildebrandt March 24, 1951 - April 28, 2014

Marie was born in Ste. Anne Manitoba, the fifth in a family of ten children. At the age of seven she contracted polio and spent nine months in the hospital, three of those months in a coma. Marie did not allow her disability to deter her from the challenges of life. She took a course in bookkeeping at the Red River Community College in Winnipeg, which was a major part of her career throughout her life. She met her husband John in 1967 and they were wed in 1971 in Terrace, B.C. Marie was determined to have children and she was blessed with a daughter, Delia, and a son, Jonathan. She also experienced the joy of five grandchildren whom she loved dearly. Marie received Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior in October, 1973 and life changed for her dramatically as she placed her relationship with her Lord as top priority. She was known as a prayer warrior. Marie kept on taking on new challenges in life which included graduating at an auctioneer school in Calgary together with her husband John. She had a childhood dream of becoming a school teacher and that dream became a reality when she spent two years teaching at the Mountain View Christian Academy. Marie met the challenges of life head on and with a smile on her face. She was an inspiration for many and will leave a void in the lives she touched.

THE NORTH Coast Nightmares take to the track against Quesnel’s Gold Pain City May 10 at the Terrace Sportsplex.

Nightmares come close By ANNA KILLEN TERRACE’S NORTH Coast Nightmares roller derby team fell to Quesnel’s Gold Pain City at their first home bout of the season – but if they’d had a few more minutes things might have been different. The Terrace team rallied hard during the final half of the May 10 game, racking up between 20 and 30 points in the

final two minutes to close the gap to a 95-78 final for Quesnel after trailing significantly for most of the game. “The game from the perspective of playing on the track was a little too slow for us, unfortunately. We didn’t get our strategies in place until the second half, definitely with five more minutes the score could have looked a lot different,” said Nightmare Jessica “Marge

Sins Some” Hogg. “They were tired and it was visible on the track, we could have kept going easily. It was unfortunate that the timer ran out.” But it was still “a really great game,” she said. Not to mention a solid testament to how much the team has progressed over the course of the year – almost exactly one year ago, Quesnel beat the Nightmares by a margin of nearly 300 points.

“It was an impressive game as far as the low scores, last time we played them there was like a 300 point spread and they beat us bad,” she said. “But that was also our very first competitive game as a team ... I feel like we’ve evolved and gained a lot of experience this season and it’s definitely helping us.”

Terrace gymnasts win big in Prince George TERRACE PEAKS gymnasts returned with more medals and trophies and usual from the Prince George Gymnastics Club Invitational meet earlier this month, topping divisions and winning four coveted trophies, including a team award. “We kind of came home on a competition high,” said coach Ambra Marak of the May 3 and 4 meet that saw nine Terrace gymnasts compete. “The girls went in with lots of confidence, we did this little cheer before we went and I think everybody was just excited for the meet.” The club has been practising all year and has a few competitions under their belt, which Marak says helped with their confidence.

“They know what they need to do, they know their routines,” she said. Individual trophies included most artistic floor, most dynamic bars, most dynamic vault, and the team was given the third place team award. There were nine clubs and close to 200 athletes at the meet. Two standout performances were Maia Guerriero and Ann Zettler, who placed first overall in P2 Argo and PT Tyro, respectively. They placed in all four of their events, and then had the highest average overall. Guerriero and Zettler said their wins made them feel “really good” and “surprised” because there were so many competitors.

Guerriero said she likes floor the best. “I like music and I like dancing,” she said. While Zettler said she likes all events. Gymnast Maya Ebling said it felt really good to stand on the podium with the whole team after winning the team award, a statement her teammates enthusiastically agreed with. So what does it take to be a good gymnast? “Put effort into everything that you do,” said Ebling. “Do the best that you can every day,” continued Guerriero. “And focus,” added Zettler. That’s advice you can use – on and off the mat.

U17 girls stand tall at nationals

TERRACE’S NORTHWEST 17U girls’ volleyball team took a solid run at nationals in Edmonton two weeks ago after a successful turn at club provincials late last month. “A feat for our little northwest team to even break the top 10 and knock out the ‘established’ club teams,” said assistant coach Carmen Didier, of the team’s eighth place Tier 1 provincial finish. That provincial finish led them to the Volleyball Canada 2014 17U/18U Canadian Open in Edmonton May 9 - 11, with games at the University of Alberta campus. Eighty teams from across the country attended the tournament, and Terrace was in Division 2 with 32 teams. The team ultimately tied for fifth in Division 2, Tier 1, finishing with a 5 – 2 record after losing a tight match in the Tier 1 quarterfinals. “The whole weekend was a wonderful experience and opportunity for the girls,” said Didier, noting the team had a photo op with Prime Minister Stephen Harper, who was on hand in his official capacity as a volleyball parent to his son, Ben. Terrace’s northwest team entered the final day of play having won almost every match. Day one, May 9 saw them win against NOOKS Women’s 17U from Sturgeon County, Alberta (25-17, 2325, 15-9), Duck U17 Jack from Port Coquitlam (25-11, 25-10), and Cats 17U from Carberry, Manitoba (25-23,

25-20). While they kept up the win streak day two, with wins against the LVC Avengers from Lethbridge, Alberta (25-16, 21-25, 15-6), and FOG Ice from St. Albert, Alberta (25-18, 25-14). The team suffered their first loss at the end of the second day, and it was against a familiar team – the Prince George Kodiaks 17U (22-25, 19-25). But their 6-1 record set them up for the Tier 1 quarterfinals against Aigles U17 from Montreal, Quebec, no small accomplishment for a small team from northwest B.C. And Terrace came out strong in the first set, winning 25-9, but Montreal bounced back in the second to win 25-

ohn Dunn, a veep for TransCanada’s Prince Rupert Gas Transmission project (PRGTP), part of which is proposed to run through the Kispiox Valley, challenges anyone to find another project that has moved as far as TransCanada in response to local concerns. “This project started as a 750 kilometre pipeline ... We have added almost 150 kilometres largely in response to consultation around environmental and construction impacts along the length of the pipeline, including the Kispiox,” Dunn whines to the Globe and Mail May 13. But in order to feel sorry for putative hardships suffered by the folks at the Corporation, we’d need to ignore the atomistic PR corporations are always eager to promote in favour of a holistic view. Plainly put, TransCanada wants to carry gas that has been fracked near Hudson Hope through pipes laid along right-ofways cut through wild corridors in northern B.C. to plants near Prince Rupert where it will be liquefied then shipped off shore. The project has a life expectancy. It will operate until the gas runs out or until market demand diminishes below the point of profitability due to an increased demand for alternate energy, or because the environmental Armageddon brought on by the over consumption of fossil fuels has reached the point where the survival of homo sapiens is doubtful, or some combination or permutation of all these factors. The fundamental motive for the enterprise is to increase the profitability of the

18 and set up a third and final set – a squeaker which landed in the eastern team’s favour with a 16-14 win over Terrace. “Our team probably felt a little too comfortable in the second set after we’d one the first set 25-9,” said Didier. “But can’t really take anything away from either team in the third set as we were trading points back and forth... It was really anyone’s game.” The club season is officially over, but Didier and head coach Steve Kitchen are still holding practises for players moving onto high performance – several players have tryouts coming up – or those who want to keep up their skill set.

Derby team sees progress They’ll be using their experience at the bout to continue that progression. “They had some really tough walls that our jammers were having a hard time breaking through,” said Hogg. “So I think our coaches and our team will be focussing on some more offensive strategy for our jammers, making sure that we have blockers that are aware of there jammer, and playing offensively within the pack as well to help us get through those tough walls. The crowd of close to 600 at the Terrace Sportsplex was in fine form, with a strong contingent of first timers and out-of-towners taking in the northwest’s burgeoning roller derby scene.

“The community support is amazing,” said Hogg. That includes the officials, support staff and volunteers who work at the games – the Nightmares had two North Coast refs at the bout, the rest travelled from Quesnel, and numerous other volunteers were on hand. The Nightmares plan to give back to the northwest roller derby community, hosting a bootcamp in Smithers this summer, which could ultimately lead to more bouts closer to home as that team gains experience. As for their next official game, they’ll be up against familiar faces. The Nightmares will meet up against Quesnel, this time in the Gold Pain City, June 28

to domestic use. Producing the final product adds another load of greenhouse gasses to the environment as does burning it when it reaches its foreign destination. It doesn’t take a Nobel Laureate to appreciate that shipping away resources that can be used at home is Third World Country behaviour, but that is exactly the behaviour this project is predicated upon. The environmental assessment process for the PRGTP will be conducted by private firms contracted for this work by the proponent. It should be conducted by provincial government biologists on our payroll, and to have any validity there should be a “NO” option. Unfortunately, this won’t happen because provincial governments since the Gordo Regime have systematically disabled what we used to call the Ministry of the Environment to the point where they can’t possibly live up to their mandate. The Kispiox Valley is a beautiful place with one of the world’s greatest salmon streams running through its middle. Given the number of anti-pipeline signs I saw there last fall, I will bet that opposition to the pipe is close to unanimous. The only reasonable argument that the project should proceed against such stout local opposition is if it was in the national interest and the national interest was deemed to outweigh the local interest. And given the latest UN report on climate change and its causes, and the downsides of the venture as outlined above, it’s in nobody’s interest in the long term.

One hotel to be finished next year But, because of the location’s past use, any progress toward construction hinges on first obtaining environmental certification from the province, a process which has been underway for a number of

years. A third hotel under active consideration would be built by a group of Vancouver developers with similar developments in other busy regions. The group last No-

vember purchased two large lots just to the west of Canadian Tire on Hwy16 with plans for a facility of 80-90 rooms. The group already has a hotel in Dawson Creek and is working

on a similar development in Alberta. Tran’s Sunshine Inn is expected to be finished next year. The location is the large lot beside Kalum Tire on Hwy16 and it will extend back over

two more lots to Lazelle Ave. to beside the bowling alley. A Houston-based construction company, Hansma Construction, is in town to do the work on the development, and workers were busy last week clearing the site and installing the casings for an elevator. Tran has gone through the process before, having built Sunshine Inn hotels in Smithers, Houston, and Burns Lake. Workers are staying in the white house, the old Cooper house, that occupies the lot fronting on Lazelle Ave. and they will sleep in there

Province sends money “So we will be working with them in tandem to work with the communities to help them be successful in their applications for the funding. We also have somebody in the community to help each of the areas with getting through this process.” Oakes said the money will be used for developing engineered proposals for infrastructure which can then be

used to apply for various other federal grants and to provincial agencies such as BC housing, and private developers. Local governments have been asking the provincial government for assistance for some time. Should any of the planned liquefied natural gas (LNG) projects proceed, the municipalities have said, there’s going to be increased

pressure for services as more people and more businesses move into the area. No final investment decisions have been made on any of the LNG projects being proposed in the region, but the cumulative level of spending and preparatory economic activity has increased the level of business activity, increased the cost of housing and made rent-

als more expensive and hard to find. Oakes said though, that she wants proposals to address culture and recreation, too. “When you are building a community, it’s not just about pipes in the ground.”

the tallest wood frame structure in Terrace. The provincial building code was changed in 2009 to allow wooden structures to be six storeys tall. Tran also needed the city’s regulatory blessing to build a structure that high. A key feature of the development will be the top floor which will consist of condo-type units only. They’re meant to attract people who may live elsewhere for portions of the year but who still want a local, low-maintenance residence. With files from Josh Massey.

RANDY CHALIFOUX, Christine Leclerc, and Tyson Hull are the faces of the newly purchased Mumford’s Beerhouse and Grill and adjacent Mumford’s Lodge.

Bright future planned for pub and motel By ANNA KILLEN IN YET another sign of an improving economy, Terrace will soon have a renovated motel and a re-opened pub. The Evergreen Pub and Evergreen Motel, located beside each other on Hwy16 leading west of Terrace, have been purchased from Hundal Holdings by contractor Tyson Hull of Frozen North Developments and two silent partners. Negotiations for the pub and 19-room motel took six months. “I’ve always liked the property,” said Hull. “We were looking to diversify from the construction business to add a motel and service industry to what we do... the opportunity to buy one piece of property with two revenue streams coming off of it, I couldn’t turn down.” The pub will be called Mumford’s Beerhouse and Grill and the motel, Mumford’s Lodge, a nod to the first paddle wheeler to make it to Terrace. The plan is to renovate the motel inside and out, with care to match the exterior of the hotel with the existing exterior of the pub, which was built in 2000, to create a bright facility that is all tied in together.

Christine Leclerc, who is also Hull’s girlfriend, will be the general manager of both the pub and motel, and Randy Chalifoux, a chef who was at one time an instructor at Northwest Community College, has been hired to run the kitchen. “We really want to incorporate a Terrace-theme throughout the restaurant,” said Leclerc. “We’ll have drinks with names like ‘sipping beauty’, for Sleeping Beauty (mountain), just little things to incorporate our local [atmosphere].” Chalifoux said is thinking of an upscale pub menu with items that will appeal to everyone but that aren’t available in Terrace. A large kitchen means there will be a catering arm to the business, he said, and the upstairs of the pub will be renovated to accommodate groups and events. Particular attention will be paid to the beer list – with 72 racks behind the bar to hold beers from around the world and plans to serve BC craft beer (including local brew) on the nine taps. And a carefully crafted BC wine list and locally sourced, seasonal ingredients including seafood and wild game will be used whenever possible. “It’s local people that own it,

local people that are going to be running it, local foods and local drinks,” said Chalifoux. “Hiring locals,” adds Leclerc. The team is looking to fill over two dozen positions in the motel and restaurant, with the bonus of on site red seal chef training opportunities available under Chalifoux. “They come in as an apprentice, they get a job, and they get training out of it,” said Chalifoux. “It’s a win for everybody.” He is currently working for the Piping Industry College of BC, where he does a lot of apprenticeship trades training, and wants to see more chef apprenticeship training opportunities in Terrace. The trio haven’t wasted any time diving into their new venture – the motel was fully operational when they took it over, and renovations on the pub (think a timber-framed style pub with rich wood, cozy booths, a fireplace for aprés ski) are set to begin soon. “We don’t have the biggest budget starting off, but slowly but surely we want to chip away ... continuous improvement,” said Leclerc. The group is aiming for a mid-June opening for the pub.

Fielding named to board CAROL FIELDING has been named to replace Frieda Dams on the Northern Savings Credit Union board. Dams resigned last November and Fielding’s appointment is meant to fill out the remainder of her term. There are three Terrace board members on the credit union’s board with the other two being Anne Peltier and Nirmal Parmar. Parmar is also the board chair, an appointment that concludes next year. The credit union reported assets of $903.860 million in 2013, an increase over $821.54 million

in 2012. Net earnings also increased, from $1.95 million in 2012 to $2.583 million in 2013. The dollar value of loans grew from 2012 to 2013 as well. But credit union president Den Doleman reported that “prolonged low interest rates offset some of the short term positive effects of the loan growth noted, with financial income off budget by $1 million or 3.4 per cent.” Yet the credit union was able to cut its credit loss provision from $1 million to $500,000, he added.

City delegation returns from China By JOSH MASSEY A CITY delegation has returned from a fourday business trip to China where it continued negotiations that could lead to the purchase of half of the 2,000-acre city-controlled Skeena Industrial Development Park located just south of the Northwest Regional Airport. It follows a trip made by a combined city and Kitselas First Nation delegation last November to the city of Qinhuangdao for meetings with officials from the Qinhuangdao Economic Development Zone, a complex containing manufacturing and other facilities. This time, the local delegation consisted of city corporate lands manager Herb Dusdal, mayor Dave Pernarowski and Blaine Moore, the Terrace Economic Development Authority’s economic development officer. “We will be attending the China International Economic and Trade Fair,” Pernarowski told council May 12 of the trip to the City of Langfang. “We will be meeting with representatives from the Qinhuangdao Economic Development Zone to discuss our proposed project for the Skeena Industrial Development Park and also to sign a progress agreement that confirms the MOU we have in place with Qinhuangdao.” The city has kept the industrial development plans it is forging relatively secret, though it was revealed that the previous tour included a number of heavy industrial sites such as pipeline and aluminum wheel manufacturing plants. The possibility of forestry product manufacture for OSB (oriented strand board) has also come up as a possibility. Travel expenses for the mayor and Dusdal were covered by the city’s corporate lands account. A May 12 report to council estimated the cost to send the mayor would not exceed $1,600, including the possibility of a night’s accommodation in Vancouver and a per diem while in Canada. Accommodation and hosting are being provided by the Qinhuangdao Economic Develop-

ment Zone. Moore’s travel expenses are being paid by the economic development authority. “The mayor being there is more than ceremonial,” said council-

lor Brian Downie during the May 12 council meeting when councillors gave approval to the mayor going to China. “He is the head of the city so I think it may

hasten the relationship. It’s a good investment.” “It’s really confirming the MOU we already have signed,” said Pernarowski. “I never thought I would be travelling to China so many

times, but I am happy to be going back to represent Terrace. It is important that we show there is opportunity.” Chief administrator Heather Avison said the city should be hosting

a Chinese delegation in return in late June. Pernarowski said the hosting will most likely be partially financed by the provincial government’s Major Projects Office which originally

suggested to Chinese investors that they look at the Terrace lands. The park is mostly crown land but the city has an option to buy the land and then sell it onward as needed.
