City finalizes huge land deal By JOSH MASSEY WHAT SEEMED a long shot just several months ago has become reality as a Chinese investment firm has announced it is going ahead with the purchase of two large sections of land at the City of Terraceowned Skeena Industrial Development Park. Amid much speculation over which industry or industries would be set up on the site, the city has announced that the first will be an alfalfa protein extraction plant, the

first of possibly several different manufacturing plants. Taisheng International Investment Services, a Burnaby-based investment firm, is paying $11.8 million to the city for 480 hectares of the industrial park, located a couple kilometres south of the Northwest Regional Airport off Hwy 37 South. Taisheng is the investment arm of the Qinhuangdao Economic Development Zone located on the east coast of China, two hours from Beijing.

There’s a big demand for alfalfa in China. See story Page A9.

A group of delegates representing Taisheng, Qinhuangdao and the provincial government’s major investments office were in Terrace July 9 and 10 on a brief private trip

to meet with city council and staff. The delegation gathered at city hall July 9 for the official signing of the deal, and a catered lunch and dinner hosted by the city in the Rich McDaniel conference room at the Terrace Sportsplex. “They were comfortable with me being the spokesperson,” said Pernarowski, recounting the details of the visit that was closed to the public and media, which included taking the group on a helicopter tour of the Rio Tinto Alcan smelter in Kitimat.

“Today’s agreement marks a major milestone for the City and Kitselas. Diversifying our local economy is a priority for council, and this sale will pave the way for industrial development at the Skeena Industrial Development Park, create new employment opportunities and reduce our reliance on residential property and business taxes to fund services,” said Pernarowski in an emailed release July 10.

A SECOND proposal for major development in Thornhill has surfaced, this one detailing opportunities for a shopping mall or large box store complex amongst residential and community development. According to crown land application purchase documents filed with the provincial ministry of forests, lands and natural resources, Bear Creek Contracting is proposing to purchase three portions of land totalling nearly 30 hectares in the lower area of Thornhill in order to build close to 400 single detached homes and multi-family homes, which could house more than 1,000 people. A 10.7 hectare commercial development area and a 5.9 hectare expansion of the Bear Creek Contracting yard are also part of the application. “The size of the proposed commercial area could accommodate three developments of similar size as the existing major commercial developments, depending on the size of undeveloped area used for landscaping or buffering,” reads the application. The existing major developments mentioned are Canadian Tire, Safeway Mall, Skeena Mall, and Walmart in the City of Terrace. “Another alternative to development of this land is a comprehensive development, or in accordance with a development master plan as a mixed use area for commercial, offices, and residential uses,” reads the application. A map included in the application shows Bear Creek’s vision for the crown land, which is north of Century St., to Crescent St., and between Paquette Avenue, and Sharples Road in Thornhill. One parcel to the east is designated commercial, with parcels further north and to the west of Sharples proposed as multi-residential.

Town builder passes away TINY TOWN located right beside the George Little House is now not just a tribute to Youghal, Ireland but to its creator Jim Allen, who passed away July 10. Granddaughter Sarah Allen said her grandfather, who was 80, had been ill for about two months. Tiny Town, a miniature version of the buildings in Allen’s hometown of Youghal, began life in the front yard of his Agar Ave. home, becoming a bit of a tourist attraction yearround and a lighted winter village during the Christmas season. When circumstances dictated the buildings be moved from Allen’s yard and with the real possibility they might be taken to the landfill, a volunteer group quickly formed to take them instead to an empty storefront in the Skeena Mall. And when the mall was bought and extensive renovations began several years ago, the same group arranged for the move to city property next to the George Little House. A work skills crew from the Terrace and District Community Services Society and the group then restored the miniatures. The buildings are replicas of a post office, a butcher shop,

JIM ALLEN, who built a miniature replica of his Youghal, Ireland hometown, now on display next to the George Little House, has passed away. a shoemaker, a barbershop, an info centre and two pub buildings, one of which also contains an undertaker’s business. One structure was designed by a person from Holland and built with brick from that country, said Allen during a tour when Tiny Town was moved to its current location. “The brick is red and that’s why it’s called the Red House,” he said. Allen moved here from Ireland to help build Sacred Heart

Parish in 1956 and stayed afterward. He worked for the government and then opened Jim’s Painting Service, painting people’s houses and putting in some gyproc, for several years and then retired. Then he ran a bed and breakfast on Braun St. Jim was married to his wife for 55 years until her death five years ago. They raised four sons and two daughters. He was a longtime member

of the Legion, was with the Knights of Columbus for 50 years and played the bagpipes with the Terrace Pipes and Drums. Sarah said he came to visit her when she was nine and she taped him playing the bagpipes. Allen was a self-taught bagpipe player and accordion player. For his 50th wedding anniversary, he serenaded his wife with the bagpipes, said Sarah.

Lodge wants connection to power line By RYAN JENSEN

JOSH MASSEY PHOTO

CONSERVATIVE MP Jeff Watson, right, the parliamentary secretary to federal transportation minister Lisa Raitt, holds a gift of a framed Kermode bear photo presented by Terrace-Kitimat Airport Society president Ron Burnett, left.

Feds provide large grant for airport lighting work THE ELECTRICAL future of the Northwest Regional Airport is going to be a bit brighter courtesy of a financial boost from the federal government. A federal Conservative Member of Parliament was at the airport July 9 to announce the federal government is providing $3,706,121 over two years for an upgrade of the airport’s electrical system. This is 85 per cent of the total cost, with the airport having to come up $600,000 of its own money. The upgrades, to be competed this year, include new

landing lights installed on the field to guide pilots in and new beacons on the surrounding mountain ranges. A back-up generator will also be replaced, with the new one located in a different location inside the airport grounds. “Our government is committed to the safety and security of all Canadians. This investment at the Northwest Regional Airport promotes the safety and efficient movement of passengers and cargo which will ensure the right conditions for growth, job creation and economic prosperity in North-

western British Columbia,” said Conservative MP Jeff Watson who is the parliamentary secretary to transportation minister Lisa Raitt. The money was provided through Transport Canada’s Airports Capital Assistance Program. Watson was also walked through the airport’s 20-year master plan which includes additions to the main terminal’s passenger waiting room and a separate check-in area. A new restaurant area is also a possibility. “We’re going to be looking

into our crystal ball in August,” said airport manager Carman Hendry. “We are going to be watching carefully to see what the next step is. Another change in the coming year will be firefighting service at the airport, a requirement because the airport has reached the passenger traffic number at which such a service is required. As for work that is going on at the airport, the expansion of its long term parking lot continues. And a new road surface has just been completed along one section of its main road.

Single family home costs continue to climb upward HOUSING PRICES continue to climb in Terrace and area based on latest figures made available through the MLS listing service. The average selling price of a detached residential housing for the first six months of this year was $294,651, a large jump over the $235,000 average selling price for the first six months of 2013. And the 2013 average price was more than the $211,733 for the

first six months of 2012. The average selling price for April to June of $294,651 is approximately the same as for the first three months of the year when it was $294,067. If the average selling price is increasing, the number of residential homes being sold is fairly even with 99 sold for the first six months of 2014 compared to 104 being sold for the first six months of 2013. Total property sales

for the first six months of 2014 amounted to 201 properties worth $48.4 million compared to 180 properties sold for a worth of $39.8 million for the first six months of 2013. Half of the 99 single family homes that sold for the first six months of 2014 sold for less than $289,900. On average, it took these homes 31 days to sell. In addition, 37 parcels of vacant land,

three half duplexes, and 12 homes on acreage changed hands in the first six months of the year. At the end of June there were 177 properties of all types available for purchase through the MLS in the Terrace area. That’s an increase from the 101 properties that were available as of the end March. If selling prices climbed here, the increase was even more

dramatic in Kitimat. The average price for a detached single family home in Kitimat was $320,131 for the first six months of this year. That’s a large jump compared to $222,766 for the first six months of 2013 and $176,012 for the first six months of 2012. On average, it took just 22 days for a house to sell in Kitimat for the first six months of this year.

THE OWNERS of the Bell 2 Lodge are asking BC Hydro to reconsider after being told it will cost them millions of dollars to draw power from the Northwest Transmission Line, which runs within 300 metres of their business. Not only that, but partner Mike Watling said they were told the amount must be paid upfront, unlike the arrangement the utility company has with larger industry who is tapping into the line. “We’ve known about the NTL for a long time and we tried to wait for the right opportunity to get in there and find out about how feasible it is to hook up to it,” Watling said. “[BC Hydro] told us it was going to cost $3 million and come talk to them when we were ready to do something. “I don’t even think it’s reasonable to suggest that.” The year-round tourism business employs 65 people during high season and generates about $10 million in revenue annually. In the winter, the Bell 2 Lodge is the jumpingoff point for Last Frontier Heli-skiing. During the summer months, there is a restaurant, gas station and accommodation for travellers along the Stewart-Cassiar Highway. Watling said they were hoping to hook up to the system to reduce their energy costs and the amount of greenhouse gas they produce. Currently, they burn about 250,000 litres of diesel a year to generate their power. Simi Heer, manager of media relations for BC Hydro, said it’s not a simple task to link a small business with the NTL. “It’s important to remember that the NTL is a transmission line that carries electricity at 287 kilovolts,” Heer said in an email. “This customer would need electricity at a distribution voltage of 25 kilovolts. The estimate includes the cost of stepping down the voltage to an appropriate level. In this case, that would require a brand-new substation and additional distribution infrastructure.” And BC Hydro is guided by the Electric Tariff, Heer said, which ensures the cost of new developments benefitting one customer are covered by that customer. The reason mining companies have been allowed to pay off the cost to hook onto the NTL over time is because of a special tariff approved by the BC Utilities Commission. “[The tariff] is there to ensure BC Hydro recovers the cost of the line from clean energy producers and industrial companies who use the line,” Heer said. “In addition to paying for the infrastructure required to connect to the line, these companies are also required to pay a portion of the overall project cost, based on the amount of capacity required.” In June, Stikine MLA Doug Donaldson wrote a letter to mines minister Bill Bennett, asking him to reconsider charging Bell 2 Lodge, and similar Northern B.C. businesses, upfront to connect to the NTL. He has yet to receive a response. “Do you believe it sounds fair that other potential business users of the Northwest Transmission Line can hook up and pay off over time, while an existing tourism venture is told they must immediately pay $3 million for the switching station to hook up to the line that runs right through their backyard,” Donaldson said in the letter. “It’s a matter of fairness,” Donaldson said last week. “I’m hoping to get a positive response back from the letter I wrote earlier in June from the minister to say they’ve had a look at this and it’s an unfair situation and it’s about jobs and environmental benefits so let’s get on with it.” The commissioning and testing of the $746-million Northwest Transmission Line is taking place now.

History repeats

Today's Northern Gateway debate sounds very familiar By LAURA HOW

istory is often cyclical and issues have a tendency to reappear in different forms. That's why the study of history is important because examining the past can mean making better decisions and avoiding making the same mistakes. “‘We will win this one, we have won all the others,’” said Joy Thorkelson, a representative of the United Fishermen and Allied Workers Union, at an anti-Enbridge rally in 2011. The government and citizens involved in the debate over the Northern Gateway pipeline may not be aware of it, but they are living proof that history repeats itself. In 1976, a consortium of American oil companies formed the Kitimat Pipeline Company and proposed a pipeline that would deliver Alaskan crude oil from Kitimat to Edmonton and on to the United States. Two pipeline proposals later, the Canadian government set up the West Coast Oil Ports Inquiry to investigate the possibility of approving these plans. Citizens of northern British Columbia were, as today, divided. Does this sound familiar?: “I wonder if the people of Terrace are aware of the vast industrial potential that will arise as a result of the new pipeline?” While the opening line of this Letter to the Editor sounds as though it could have been written last week, it was actually printed in a May 1966 edition of The Terrace Daily Herald. The proponent of the pipeline goes on to point out the economic benefits of secondary industries and the jobs that would be created. An editorial in a 1979 edition of Kitimat’s newspaper, The Northern Sentinel, also argued that with “[u]nemployment being a chronic condition in the Skeena region anything that could change the situation for the better deserves thought.” However, Tommy Douglas, then leader of the federal NDP, refuted this notion in a letter to a concerned Terrace citizen, stating that while estimates of the number of jobs to be created were as high as 3,000, the number of permanent jobs available to northwest residents hovered around 120. We have heard similar arguments in the recent past, with advocates of the Northern Gateway pipeline touting it as the creator of thousands of employment opportunities; opponents have once again been quick to point out that only a couple hundred of permanent jobs will result. In Kitimat, citizens were just as divided, if not more so. The Northern Sentinel consistently printed editorials and columns in favour of an oil port. H.T. Mitchell, the found-

PROTESTERS OF the Kitimat Pipeline Company that proposed a pipeline in 1976 to transport Alaskan crude oil from Kitimat to Edmonton onwards to the U.S. This photo is the spitting image of the ones seen today at anti-Enbridge protests. er of the paper, often lauded the project and expressed his dismay whenever it appeared to be losing momentum. When it seemed as though the proposed port would be relocated to Port Angeles, Washington, he wrote: “A multi-billion dollar potential has found the province totally misled by environmentalists to the point where the opportunity is all but gone…” He also conveyed his disdain for then-Liberal MP Iona Campagnolo, an opponent of the pipeline and ally of the United Fishermen and Allied Workers' Union. He said that her stand on the pipeline issue was

“a potential embarrassment” for her, and her position in the debate may have been one of the reasons Campagnolo was not re-elected in 1979. Pipeline opponents were no less outspoken. In May of 1977, members of Greenpeace, the United Fishermen and Allied Workers Union, and the Gitga’at, Haida, and Heiltsuk Nations formed a blockade of ships across the Douglas Channel in protest of the North Central Municipal Association’s decision to support the project. That protest has been echoed by the “Chain of Hope”, a

20,382 foot long crocheted barrier that was recently stretched across the Douglas Channel, decorated with mementos and messages from the women and children of the Gitga’at First Nation. The arguments on both sides in this dispute have remained virtually the same over the decades, though some of the emphasis has changed. Interestingly, the opposition focus this time is as much concentrated on pipelines as it is on the potential impact on marine life of tanker traffic. Despite fisheries and environmental authorities announcing in 1978 that Kitimat would be the least hazardous location on the B.C. coast for an oil port, many concerns were raised over the safety of tanker traffic in the Douglas Channel. Dieter Wagner, founding member of the Douglas Channel Watch, has expressed concern over a lack of anchorages along the route and the fact that, while the channel may appear wide open, a large part of it is too shallow and rocky for tankers to safely navigate. In later years, the idea of supertankers in our coastal waters became unpalatable to the broader community, mainly due to the Exxon Valdez oil spill in 1989, an environmental disaster that reminded everyone of the potential risks associated with this type of industry. Today, the risks associated with a tanker spill are even greater because diluted bitumen, the cargo on the proposed tanker route, is far more difficult to clean up than crude oil. However, this is not the only distinction between the debates then and now. So far there is one clearly visible difference between the past and present of pipelines in our area: Northern Gateway has gotten the go-ahead from the federal government, albeit with restrictions. This decision deviates from the results of the historical proposals; Kitimat Pipelines Ltd. was turned down by the government, which did not see an oil port as a necessity for B.C.’s coast. The others were also rejected and slowly faded into obscurity. In a 1977 article in The Northern Sentinel, editor H.T. Mitchell asserted that “[t] he Kitimat pipeline idea [could not] be written off as dead,” and it would seem that he was right. The plans for a Kitimat oil port lay dormant for decades, but have clearly been reawakened. Now it remains to be seen whether history will truly repeat itself or if the face of the northwest will be forever changed by the arrival of the oil industry. Laura How is spending the summer as Heritage Park Museum’s Community Programmer. She is currently studying French at UBC.

1970s plan had its own inquiry IF NORTHERN Gateway was the subject of a National Energy Board review, 1970s oil import proposals had their own study – the West Coast Oil Ports Inquiry established in 1977. • After the Arab oil embargo of 1973 the Canadian government began to phase out export of Canadian crude oil to the U.S. • As a response, the U.S. wanted to transport oil from Alaska, Indonesia and the Persian Gulf to its mid-west.

• Kitimat Pipelines Ltd. applied to construct a 1200 kilometre pipeline from Kitimat to Edmonton that would transport Alaskan oil brought by tankers to Kitimat. • The crude would then be transported from Edmonton to the American mid-west. • June 1977, the Kitimat proposal was suspended pending the outcome of an application to import oil through a Washington State terminal.

• Kitimat Pipelines resubmitted an application in Jan. 1978, but it was rejected. • Feb. 23, 1978, in advance of the ports inquiry, the Canadian government said there was “no need for a west coast oil port now, or in the foreseeable future...” • Inquiry commissioner Andrew Thompson was left unsatisfied as the inquiry was inCAMERON ORR PHOTO complete because the evidence gathered remained untested.

EDITORIAL

Treaties THE Tsilhqot’in First Nation’s Supreme Court of Canada victory that has vastly strengthened its title to lands west of Williams Lake points to the ultimate wisdom of land claims treaties. Within those treaties, it’s the certainty of provisions for mutuallyagreeable economic development which are crucial. For that’s what title and rights are all about – control over who does what with land and resources and for what resulting benefits. The Nisga’a are proving that with Avanti’s molybdenum mine at Kitsault through provisions of the 2000 Nisga’a Final Agreement and with Seabridge Gold’s proposed KSM gold mine. In both cases, foundations are now set for wealth creation for both the Nisga’a government so that it has the money for services for citizens and for jobs and careers and business opportunities for individual Nisga’a citizens. Even without treaties, economic deals can establish mutually-agreeable benefits. The Kitselas, who with the Kitsumkalum are working on treaties, have a profit-sharing agreement with the City of Terrace taking in the Skeena Industrial Development Park. If good business deals can be crafted within treaties – or outside of treaties – which respect the environment, build wealth for governments of all kinds and put food on the table for citizens, then that’s the kind of certainty we could all use.

Every Friday night he writes a weekly batch of thank you notes to various people – from Honey Boo Boo to Microbreweries – commenting on their behaviours and acknowledging their effects on his life. For instance, one thank you note read, “Thank you, cotton candy, for making my grandmother’s hair look delicious.” Or, “Thank you, slow walking family in front of me on the sidewalk. And take your time. You create a sort of barricade of idiots.” I have met people that could give rise to that note: five high school students walking toward Dairy Queen whom I met on my way to my 11 a.m. dentist appointment. Not one of them dropped back to open a smidge of sidewalk for me. I could step down in the gutter or be plowed over. (On a two week vacation in Victoria my sister met the same sort of passive aggressive bullying. Perhaps

CLAUDETTE SANDECKI it’s a new teen practice.) Aside from such rare instances of rudeness, I’ve been noting a number of behaviours most of which I appreciate: for example, neighbours who own corner lots like Dobbie at Kirkaldy and keep their boulevard vegetation trimmed low to provide clear visibility for traffic anywhere near that corner. One hedge due for a trim marks the south end of Market Street between the George Little Park and Dr. Osei-Tutu’s green office building. I suspect the hedge belongs to the city. Before exiting Market Street on to

Park soon traffic approaching from the west will be obscured by the height of the hedge. Only drivers of larger vehicles such as Dodge Rams will sit high enough to see over the hedge. To be safe, I must drive out across the sidewalk before stopping to check for traffic. A thank you goes to whoever recently cut down firewood on the flat trail between Celgar Road and the Rifle Range. He piled the firewood lengths neatly and also stacked the branches in a tidy pile just off the trail so no one needs to stumble through a tangle of branches walking, horseback riding, or on wheels. Stacking the branches is a work of 10 minutes or less but the results will be a benefit to all for years. Which reminds me – someone tossed a bag of garbage not far from the woodpile. Someone too lazy or cheap to take his garbage to the landfill. Thanks for littering, buddy. Thank you to all my neighbours who keep their dogs confined to their property, either fenced or on a leash. Unless they’ve experi-

enced the hassle of preventing skirmishes when a dog tackles mine in the middle of the pavement, they can’t imagine how relieved I am to walk the full two blocks with no incidents. If I have one unfilled wish, it’s that cats were kept indoors during the hours when dogs are typically walked. I know I have no claim to expect cats to be kept indoors; and cats sitting minding their own business under their own vehicles or behind a shady rock in their driveway have every right to be there; but once my pup sights a likely victim within striking distance, I can barely slow her down. My entire return trip I must stay vigilant for sight of a feline and if, as once happened, I failed to notice a cat crouched in the ditch, my pup was off in pursuit dragging the leash. Neighbours can say I need to train my pup to ignore cats, and I won’t argue that. But birds and I would appreciate kitties being brought indoors in the evening especially if the temperature is high.

The Mail Bag Pay attention to parking regs

BRIAN HUNTINGTON PHOTO

HAZELTON AREA residents a rally opposing pipeline construction in the region that was held June 18. The event was dubbed an ‘open air house’ and took place along the river banks.

Jobs needed in the Hazeltons Dear Sir: Ever since the sawmills closed in Carnbaby and South Hazelton there has been very high unemployment in the Hazelton area, but there also has been a lot of opposition to the projects that could now employ those workers. Unemployment leads to poverty which in turn results in

lots of social problems. The best thing that can be done for families is to ensure that the bread winner has a good paying job that can properly support a family and allow them to own a home. These jobs won’t return in the forest industry in the foreseeable future due to the low quality of forests in the Hazel-

ton area. The closing of the pulp mills in Prince Rupert and in Kitimat dealt a death blow to the forest industry in the Hazelton area so jobs must be found in other industries within the region. It is time to end all the negativity and start supporting the creation of jobs.

If people were back working it would have a huge positive effect on the morale in the Hazelton communities. Idle hands are not happy hands so we must try to keep those hands busy. It is time for the cup to be half full. Brian Mould, Terrace, B.C.

Dear Sir: The behaviour of people who park illegally in accessible parking spaces has to change. People need to show respect and obey the law. If the behaviour does not change to a positive one, then don’t complain if you get a fine and/or get your vehicle towed for illegally parking, after all you know you are breaking the law. The RCMP do see people here using disabled parking spaces but, they say, they use their discretion on whether to give out a ticket or not. What kind of message is that sending to the community? To me, that means if the RCMP ignores the law, no wonder people can just park where ever they want illegally. This is sending the wrong mention to the community. The law needs to be enforced, people fined and the vehicle towed. Business owners must also enforce parking. Business are not losing parking spaces, there is a reason why some people need the disabled parking space. Having that parking space means the business owner is being inclusive. If you take that parking space away, you do not get business and that person is no longer inclusive, and this is a form of discrimination. So business owners quit complaining about the disabled parking space. Maybe one day you may need it. There should be more disabled parking spaces, not fewer. If the powers that be think enforcing this law will hurt the image of this community, you are 100 per cent wrong. Also tourists visiting B.C. can use their legally-issued disabled parking permits while in B.C. If I was mayor I’d have three priorities – safety issues, accessibility and hiring a full time bylaw enforcement officer to fine those people breaking the law. It’s common sense. Yvonne Nielsen, Terrace, B.C.

Full time mayor is more than a money issue

lthough Terrace council has, for now, rejected the idea of a full time mayor, it’s an idea worth exploring, because for some people, the concept was based on a mistaken premise. Whether sitting at home, out for a walk, shopping, or attending a council meeting, the mayor’s responsibilities rest with the incumbent 24/7 for the full term. Every mayor is a full-time mayor, be that in Vancouver or Zeballos (population 125). The question then becomes “how much time does the community expect its mayor to devote exclusively to the activities of the office?” The mayor’s first responsibility pursuant to the Community Charter provincial legislation is “to consider the well-being and interests of the municipality and its community” and “to contribute to the development and evaluation of the policies and programs of the municipality respecting its services and other activities”. The mayor is also “the head and chief executive officer of the

municipality” and in that capacity must, in addition, “provide leadership to the council, including recommending bylaws, resolutions and other measures that, in the mayor’s opinion, may assist the peace, order and good government of the municipality” and “provide, on behalf of the council, general direction to municipal officers respecting implementation of municipal policies, programs and other directions of the council.” What time demands arise from these additional responsibilities? Too much attention focused on the mayor’s leadership responsibilities tends to overwhelm the paramount responsibilities as a member of council. The nature of leadership responsibilities in the context of democratic politics is often misunderstood. The responsibilities for the “peace, order and good government of the municipality” rest equally with all seven members of council, not with the mayor alone. Beyond offering advice and making recommendations to council, the mayor’s paramount leadership responsibility

GUEST COMMENT

ANDRE CARREL is to effect the implementation of council’s policies and directions by the municipality’s managers. Canadian politics suffers from a leadership fetish. We are mesmerized by ‘The Leader’, be that the Prime Minister, provincial premier, or mayor, as we all but ignore the people we elect to represent our interests, to critically examine and debate issues, and to ultimately decide on which laws and policies best serve the

community. Council is not the mayor’s advisory committee: it is the municipality’s law-making assembly. A community with a strongheaded mayor leading a weak council runs the risk of being lead up the wrong creek, albeit efficiently. A community is better served by an energetic council defining the fences within which their mayor may freely roam. It is not a question of money; it is a question of choice. The demands on a mayor in a municipality of 12,000 are not what they are in municipalities in the 75,000 or more population range. How large is the pool of individuals with the competency, aptitude, and flair desired in a mayor who would also be free to take a four years leave of absence? How many qualified individuals would have to decline because the luxury of a four-year absence from their own business or place of employment would quite simply be out of the question? A community’s priority should be to attract a strong pool of candidates who know the community

and who have the talent to articulate its interests and are willing and able to serve on council. Democracy needs council candidates who possess the competence and confidence to monitor and evaluate the municipality’s performance under the mayor’s leadership. What mayoralty candidates need is a vision for the community and the mastery to direct a professional staff. In busy times when help is needed at the helm, and if that is a priority, it would be prudent to hire an assistant for the chief administrative officer rather than to limit the pool of potential mayors. The matter of cost is secondary. As is often the case with government, the question should not be ‘can we afford it?’ It should be “what are our priorities?” A more difficult question to answer. Retired public sector administrator Andre Carrel lives in Terrace, B.C. He also sat on the City of Terrace-appointed committee this year which made recommendations concerning council remuneration to council.

Big demand for alfalfa in China By JOSH MASSEY

PLANS BY Chinese industrial interests to build an alfalfa extraction land on land just purchased at the City of Terrace-owned Skeena Industrial Development Park make total sense, says mayor Dave Pernarowski. Pernarowski, who was front and centre in negotiations leading up to the land deal struck this week with business interests from the Chinese economic development zone Qinhuangdao, said there is huge demand for alfalfa for livestock and human consumption in China which is becoming increasingly healthconscious and affluent. “There is a particular shortage in China for this type of protein and the Chinese government is also trying to restructure diet there to a certain degree, so there are school milk plans and the development of animal agriculture which brings the demand for this protein even higher,” said Pernarowski.

If the plans announced last week come together, construction of an alfalfa processing centre could start within three years on a 33-acre parcel at the industrial development park to supply 10,000 tons of feedgrade alfalfa protein annually for livestock and 2,000 tons of food grade alfalfa protein for human consumption for shipment to China. Canada is a significant exporter of alfalfa to countries such as Japan and Korea and those in the Middle East, however shipping the actual plant in unprocessed form to China has proven nearly impossible because of

strict inspections for organic imports there. By synthesizing the alfalfa into pure form using what Pernarowski calls “an intense process” it can then be shipped in powdered or condensed form from the port in Prince Rupert. This process involves pressing, liquid filtering and centrifuging leading to a protein in packaged form with another process that turns leftover alfalfa into pellets. Raw alfalfa would come from Saskatchewan, making Terrace the processing point of a value-added supply chain that would eventually end in China.

According to Ed Shaw, an Albertan forage broker and president of International Forage and Feed, in recent years many large forage companies have either been blacklisted or withdrawn from alfalfa feed export to China. “Chinese regulations for the import of [alfalfa] hay is the most strict in the world. They’ve got a platinum standard that far exceeds Japanese standards,” said Shaw. “If you ship stuff over and its rejected you can’t ship it back. There are major exporters in the U.S. who will no longer ship to China or will not start to. The risk is too big. We’re

talking hundreds of millions of dollars of cost when it’s rejected.” Pernarowski highlighted the fact that processing alfalfa for export here is an environmentally friendly process. “What we like about this particular manufacturing plant is that the protein is naturally pressed and extracted from alfalfa leaf so there is no chemical synthesis and no chemical emissions, it’s just a small amount of waste water that comes from a plant like this and is not harmful to the environment,” he said. The proposed development also fits with Terrace’s inclinations as a community that has a long-standing agricultural tradition with a long growing season afforded by the coastal climate, he said. “I don’t think that maybe would have been the first manufacturing facility that people thought they would see come to Terrace,” the mayor said. “As a community that really supports locally-grown

food and agriculture we have an opportunity now considering our strategic location in Northwest British Columbia to start working really closely with agricultural-based products

Flamingos flock on lawns By MARGARET SPEIRS FLOCKS OF plastic flamingos took over the lawns of many people during the month of May and raised thousands of dollars to help a family. Speden’s Army Flocking Fundraiser came up as a way to help Shannon Peden’s family pay for huge medical bills from an emergency while on a vacation to the U.S. this past spring. Shannon died May 15 after a two-and-ahalf-year battle with brain cancer. “I had decided I wanted to do something so I decided to do the flamingos. I’d seen it once before and looked it up online,” said Nina, flamingo wrangler and organizer of Speden’s Army Flocking Fundraiser that took place throughout May. She got her kids involved and says it was difficult in that they wanted to wait until dark to put the flocks on people’s lawns. They made more than $7,000, she says. That’s with more than 90 lawns being

“flocked,” some more than once. “The community was awesome,” says Nina. “They’re a very generous community. I was blown away by the generosity.” To have a person’s lawn flocked, it cost $20 and another $5 would ensure the flock wouldn’t come back to the original person’s lawn. To have the flock removed also cost $20 and another $5 would send the flock to a specific person. There was also $5 insurance to ensure the flock wouldn’t return. Sometimes it was good that a person bought insurance or they would’ve been flocked several times, she adds. A sign was put along with the flamingos stating “Congratulations, you’ve been flocked by Speden’s Army.” And on the back of the sign was an envelope in a zip-lock bag with a phone number to call or text so people could contact the “highly trained professionals” to remove the birds. “Everyone was just amazing,” says Nina,

SOLA SIEB stands among the plastic flamingos on her lawn after being “flocked” during the Speden’s Army Flocking Fundraiser. adding it involved a lot of driving as they ended up placing flocks on lawns not just in Terrace but also in Thornhill and Jackpine. “We did three lawns a night so we had three flocks going,” she says, adding that each flock was about 15 birds. She and her co-flamingo wranglers only

got caught a couple of times by homeowners. “Some would want to pay right away so we could flock an extra person [that same night],” she says. “One day, we moved the flock six times. It was totally exhausting but worth it.” She decided from the start not to do businesses but did one busi-

ness when an employee approached her, so one day a flock appeared in front of the Remax office downtown. And someone paid to have Terraceview flocked every day for a week. Terraceview staff all became involved and paid to remove the flock plus they held a few

fundraisers of their own to help out. And the Ian Bagg comedy fundraiser show at the REM Lee Theatre was the final flocking with all of the flamingos making an appearance in front of the theatre. “Between what we did and the [Ian Bagg comedy show], the fam-

ily was able to pay everything off,” she says about the medical bills, adding there were also random donations from people to add to the total. A few flamingos were injured when some kids shot them with pellet guns but only one was shot so badly it couldn’t be used again.

He visits Ireland, becomes local celebrity TERRACE RESIDENT Fred Glover recently made headlines in his hometown of Banbridge, Northern Ireland when he booked a pub there to host a party for the year 2054. The celebration will mark the 100th anniversary of Glover moving to Canada and although he more than likely won’t be at the party, the Downshire Arms Hotel has booked rooms for Glover’s family 40 years from now. The Downshire is the pub that Glover most frequented when he was growing up in Banbridge and the pub is home of many fond memories for him. It is also the last place he met with friends before he set sail to Canada on March 16, 1954. So, it is only fitting that his family including his four children, six grandchildren, and three great-grandchildren should celebrate Glover over a pint of the finest at his favourite pub at the 100 year anniversary. Eighty-year-old Glover first moved to Canada in 1954 and he has called Terrace

home for the past 26 years. In June, Glover returned to his native land of Ireland for the second time since he left more than 60 years ago. He received a warm welcome from the townspeople of Banbridge and quite a bit of media coverage. “He became the talk of the town for the remainder of his stay, with people stopping him on the street,” said Francois Vincent, reporter at local paper The Banbridge Chronicle. The paper featured Glover twice this June, referring to him as a “larger-thanlife character.” He was a bit of a local celebrity when he finally arrived in Ireland later that month. “I was surprised at the level of interest in my visit, because let’s face it, when you turn 80, there aren’t many people around that you once knew,” Glover told The Chronicle. Glover worked his way west from Toronto and under the advice of a Russian man he met in Ontario, he found himself

in Kitimat working as a heavy mechanic. There, he met and married his late wife Helen and together they settled in Terrace after a brief stay in the village of Telkwa. The jack of all trades has had many jobs and has lived in some of the roughest conditions that the Northwest has to offer – he lived in tents that slept 10 men and on boats that slept 250. Later, Glover started his own logging company earning himself the title ‘Lumberjack Fred.’ Glover is still known as an excellent mechanic and he often has to turn work away from the garage he built in his backyard. “I love Canada and I would never move away from my children and grandchildren, but I will always feel more Irish than Canadian,” he told The Chronicle. Although the beauty and splendor of Terrace and Northwestern B.C. has kept Glover happy and busy, it is Ireland that still holds his heart. “Truth being told. I have been homesick ever since leaving Ireland and I think about my native land every day.”

Memorial will remain when tree cut down A TALL old spruce tree that’s been a landmark for years on Hwy16 between Terrace and Prince Rupert and which also serves as a memorial to a young teen who died in a car accident is to be cut down. The tree is no longer living and could become a hazard to passing vehicles, says Peter Lansdowne from Nechako Northcoast, the company with the road maintenance contract for a portion of the highway leading toward Prince Rupert. “We’ve had our eye on it for several years. It’s losing its bark and it could become a danger,” he said. There’s no date yet of when the tree will be taken down but it will be within the next two weeks, Lansdowne added. The tree is located on the westbound lane shoulder of the highway on a straight stretch close to the Kasiks Wilderness Resort. It’s been popularly

known as the “35 mile spruce tree” because of its distance from Terrace. CN’s rail tracks run on the other side of the highway right beside the river. It was near that spot in June 2009 that a vehicle carrying Prince Rupert teen Ashley Coveyduck and another person left the highway and entered the Skeena River. The other person escaped and suffered minor injuries but despite an extensive search, Coveyduck was never found. A memorial cross with photos was erected at the base of the spruce tree by family and friends. It and the tree were damaged by a fire of unknown origin in August 2011 and the memorial material was subsequently replaced. Approximately 11 feet of the base of the tree will be kept in place, meaning that the memorial material right at the foot of the tree won’t be affected.

SUKHI AND Jinder Atwal from Terrace are in this season’s Canadian television version of The Amazing Race. They paid a surprise visit to Terrace last week.

new markdowns just taken!

Local duo in TV race By CAITLIN CLOW

THE AMAZING Race Canada kicked off July 8 with Sukhi and Jinder Atwal representing Terrace. Over 50 friends and family members of the brother-sister team showed up at Mumford’s Beerhouse & Grill to cheer them on. The second episode in the current series aired last night. “We’re not giving anything away, but we are putting Terrace on the map!” 32-year-old Sukhi told her guests after the premiere here July 8. Sukhi and Jinder are both temporarily living in Toronto, but they wanted to surprise their family and host the viewing party in their hometown. They said they received a lot of attention when they visited last week. “It’s crazy, people are pulling me over on the side of the road and they want to take selfies, and I was like ‘oh my gosh!’ because these are people I don’t even know, they just recognize us,” Jinder said adding that Sukhi had some paparazzi

moments in a local gym as well. The Terrace duo admitted they were feeling nervous about watching the show for the first time. “It feels pretty surreal actually to be surrounded by all of our friends and family.” 26-year-old Jinder said, “I’m just nervous because I have no idea how they’re going to cut the show – so we’re just excited to see the show and have everyone here.” While the Atwals cannot divulge much information, they did explain their strategy in the games was to simply slow down, pay attention and to learn from their mistakes. “But nothing can really prepare you, it’s high adrenaline, high stress, high pressure, it’s like the Hunger Games and these people are hungry. You can’t even take a second to breathe,” Sukhi said. The two started to train in Terrace once they found out they were accepted. They would run the Terrace Mountain and go to local bootcamps, the two also took swimming lessons from

Blueback Swim Club coach, Crystal Thomas. “The very first time we got to the pool, Sukhi was wearing a little, tiny bikini and I looked at her and I told her, ‘I don’t know if you can swim in that because when you jump in things will fall off,’ but, she was amazing,” Thomas said. “What she was training for was not how to swim beautifully, but she was swimming to get the job done.” Thomas explained that Sukhi had had a near-drowning experience in her life and she was a little afraid of the water, but she was willing to do anything and after only two training sessions she was jumping off the diving board. This is the second season of CTV’s Amazing Race Canada. Twelve teams began the competition which involves a variety of challenges all across Canada and beyond for a number of prizes. The last place finishing team in each episode is eliminated, reducing the number as the weeks go on. “Thank you [Terrace] for the love and the support, we’re so

proud to be from a small town and we’re happy to represent and we’re going to make Terrace proud!” Sukhi said.

Fire warning

HIGH TEMPERATURES and lack of moisture have provincial officials warning people to be careful with campfires and other sources of fire when out in the woods. Fire hazard ratings were increased last week as temperatures climbed into the high 20s and low 30s. Going into last weekend, provincial officials had yet to issue any restrictions on open fires. The largest fire in the province as of late last week was in northeastern B.C. Approximately 200 people were evacuated as the Red Creek fire southeast of Tumbler Ridge grew to more than 4,500 hectares.

Large land deal finalized The alfalfa protein extraction factory will be located on a 13-hectare parcel of the purchased area and bring 170 new jobs to the region, a city release states. “Taisheng expects land preparation and supporting infrastructure work will begin soon and construction of the first factory could begin in 2017 or 2018,” the release continues. Pernarowski said that discussions surrounding the promotion of high environmental standards have been central to the negotiations and

that the delegation saw first hand why people in the Northwest want to preserve the natural value of the land in which they live. The area where the one or more factories will be located is directly west of a Kitselas-owned area of the industrial park which Falcon Enterprises is developing as a camp for workers who would build a natural gas pipeline for one of the planned liquefied natural gas plants at Kitimat. A gift exchange occurred around the same time as the signing cer-

emony, said Pernarowski, which included a carving given to Feng Zhang, the vice mayor of the Qinhuangdao Municipal Government. Feng’s mayoral duties are primarily related to governing the 128 square kilometre industrial park that comprises the Qinhuangdao Economic and Technological Development Zone, said Pernarowski. “We gave one [gift] to the vice mayor,” said Pernarowski, “a wood carving of the faces you see in the tree at Ferry Island... and Kermode bear pictures.”

In return, the Chinese delegates bestowed on Terrace officials a six-foot long scroll depicting the Great Wall of China, the eastern beginning point of which happens to be located on the beaches in Qinhuangdao. The land purchase takes up approximately half the size of the in-

dustrial park. The city and the Kitselas have an agreement to share in any revenues derived from land sales once expenses are covered. Part of the city’s obligations at the park include the provision of basic infrastructure such as water and other needed services.

The new Ronald McDonald House BC opens in June. A home away from home for seriously ill children receiving treatment at BC Children’s Hospital, the new and bigger House has enough room to welcome 73 families every day, keeping 2,500 families per year together when it matters most.

Speed limit along Hwy16 won’t change N O RT H E R N E R S DON’T want to drive faster, according to public opinion polling conducted as part of a review of speed limits on provincial highways. It means while speed limits are being increased to 120 km/h on stretches of southern highways, Hwy16 will remain at 100 km/h. All undivided highways will keep their original speed limit meaning that Hwy37 and Hwy97 will be left unchanged as well. Only 42 per cent of northerners who par-

quite satisfied with the speed limits as they are,” said Austin. The transportation ministry reviewed approximately 9,100 km of highways and 1,300

km have been deemed fit to have their speed limit increased. Provincial transportation Minister Todd Stone said limits are being raised where it is noticed that

vehicles are already exceeding the posted limit. The new 120 km/h speed will only be applied to certain sections of multi-lane and divided highways.

A deal worth changing for.

Thornhill project Along Century St., two parcels of land – totalling nearly 20 hectares – are marked as community and institutional development and are not part of the crown land application. The application states that the community and institutional parcels “should be reserved by the regional district for the development of the future Thornhill community in accordance with the provisions of the Thornhill Official Settlement Plan (OSP).” The regional district has stated in the past that it wants the crown to hold off on selling crown land until it can update its OSP. The application details potential road work which would need to be completed, as well plans to work with the crown, regional district, and developers to update the community sewer system. A letter included in the application package details support from the Kitselas First Nation for the proposal. Another local contracting company, M&M Ventures, filed a crown land purchase application for the same area earlier this year. Its application calls for 124 lots on 40 hectares, and would be phased in at approximately 30 lots a year leading toward 2020. If the ministry decides to sell the crown land, a competitive process would begin and requirements on how the land is to be developed would need to be formalized.

Mainland with 81 per cent in favour. Skeena NDP MLA Robin Austin said the response from residents of northwest B.C. reflects wisdom.

Tahltan elect new president

Chad Day lies in dealing with issues on Tahltan traditional territory. McPhee’s time in office was marked by the signing of agreements following community votes with several resource companies, including Calgary-based energy AltaGas which is building three run of river projects along the Iskut River and a taxation sharing deals with the provincial government involving the same AltaGas projects. The Tahltan also signed a deal with BC Hydro to clear the route through their traditional territory for the crown corporation’s Northwest Transmission Line. But McPhee was also at the forefront of protests, including blockades, over plans by Fortune Minerals to open a large anthracite coal mine in the Klap-

pan area. The Tahltan have long regarded the Klappan as a place for hunting and cultural activities. She also expressed worries about the environmental impacts from the nearly-finished Red Chris copper mine owned by Imperial Metals of Vancouver. Elected as vice president was Heather Hawkins, topping the poll with 444 votes. Ken Edzerza finished second with 271 votes and Lynda Edzerza with 158 votes. The new secretary treasurer of the Tahltan Central Council is Adrian Carlick who received 538 votes compared to 331 votes for Kimberly Nole/Marion. This was the first election that Tahltan members could vote using paper ballots or vote via phone or electronic means.

In Memoriam

It broke our hearts to lose you, but you did not go alone. A part of us went with you, The day God took you home. If tears could build a stairway, and heartaches make a lane, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d walk our way to heaven, and bring you back again. In life we loved you dearly, in death we loved you still, in our hearts you hold a place, No one could ever fill.

Loved and greatly missed by Jessica, Byron, Wesley, Hailey, Josie, Mom, Dad, and all of Jackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family and friends.

Gunter is sadly missed by his spouse, Anne, sister Iris, and nieces & nephews. The family would like to thank all of his co-workers at Kalum Kabs for their kind support. And also Sheila who worked at Kalum Kabs for her donation of beautiful flowers. Thank you Leila Burton for the flowers you sent. We really appreciate it. We would also like to thank Kammy & Henry of the Lucky Garden Restaurant for their generous donation.

Our family chain is broken, and nothing is the same, but as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again.

Thank You The family of Gunter Behren

ANNA KILLEN

Terrace girls triumphant at soccer provincials SEVEN TERRACE teams got competitive at BC Soccer provincials July 5 and 6, with the U16 girls team bringing home bronze. Here’s a recap of the U16 girls’ weekend: Game one vs Kelowna United Terrace started the game off strong with two goals by striker Jenna Hoornenborg in the first 10 minutes. But Kelowna responded 45 seconds after the second goal to put the game at 2 - 1 at the half. A barrage of goals came in the first 10 minutes of the second half. With Hoornenborg taking credit for a Kelowna own goal giving her the hat trick, Kelowna responded 1:36 later. Terrace then got two quick goals by – new to the team this year – striker Jewel Hall and attacking midfielder Paige Payne. Kelowna responded one more time before strong defending from Anke deWit, Ashlee Wojnarowski, Mikaela Jeffery, Emily Dodd, Emma Kenmuir and striker turned defender for the game Alexx Muller took over the game and kept it at 5 to 3. Game two vs the host Chilliwack Attack Game two put Terrace up against the host Chilliwack Attack on their home turf field – something Terrace has never played on. With tight defending by both teams, it took an error on Terrace’s part for Chilliwack to send the only goal of the game into the back of the net in the 50th minute. Goalkeeper Alex Bujtas was forced to make multiple diving saves to keep

MEMBERS OF the Terrace U16 girls’ soccer team show off the bronze medals they earned at BC Soccer B Cup Provincials in Chilliwack two weekends ago. the game at 1 and Terrace strikers found it difficult to learn the bounces and how the ball rolled on the turn field. It seemed that Terrace was in a “Death Pool” as they call it in the World Cup as after 2 games each, all 4 teams had 3 points with a win and loss each. Game three vs Tsawwassen Going into this game, Terrace knew if they won, they

would be playing in a medal match the following day but unsure of which one. It was clear from the beginning of the game that it was going to be low scoring and hard fought. The lone goal of the game was scored by Terrace striker Alexx Muller who made the Tsawwassen goalkeeper pay for dropping the ball as she made an initial save in the 68th minute of the game.

At the end of group stages, Terrace was tied with the host for first with 6 points. Unfortunately, Chilliwack had the tie breaker with the head-to-head game going in their favour, meaning Terrace would play for bronze in the crossover game on Sunday. Game four vs Squamish Fireballs Game four brought Terrace back to the turf field again, but unlike Game two, they now had a bit of experience playing on the turf. Terrace controlled most of the game but could not find the back of the Squamish net. Sound defending again with the help of defending midfielder Deb Wraight kept Squamish away from the Terrace goal. At the 77th minute of a 80 minute game, Terrace finally broke the tie with a corner kick sent in by Paige Payne that Jenna Hoornenborg smashed in the back of the net scoring her fourth goal of the tournament. Terrace went down to one striker and added another defending midfielder to close out the game to seal the bronze medal. Goalkeeper Alex Bujtas recorded her second shutout of the tournament only allowing one goal after Game one. The U16 team was one of two girls teams competing in Chilliwack, while the boys teams headed to Richmond.

Nightmares put roller derby season to bed

TERRACE’S NORTH Coast Nightmares wrapped up the 2014 roller derby season with a tough 146-97 loss to Quesnel’s Gold Pain City June 28 in Quesnel, an anti-climatic end to the team’s most successful season yet. The Terrace team went in with a smaller roster than they’d anticipated and, while they played tough and defensively, struggled to fully assert themselves until the second half of the game, something the team says it’s focussing on during the off-season. “They scored the bulk of their

points in the first half, we came out, again, a little bit slow,” said Nightmare Jessica Hogg. “That’s definitely something our team needs to work on for next year’s season – coming out as strong as we can usually play in the second half and making sure we’re playing that way in the first half.” Also during the off-season, the team is serious about attracting new recruits, both players – the team is losing a couple of players this year – and people willing to officiate. Reffing is a great way for

people to get involved with roller derby but who “maybe don’t like that full contact aspect,” said Hogg. And in order to host more games, they’ll need more refs. But the team is hoping the Fresh Meat learn-to-skate program they’re running in August with the City of Terrace will help draw more people into the fold. “It’s looking good for next year,” she said. “We had a very successful season, we played twice as many games as we did last year. We’re really looking forward to building on that.”

Northmen come close in final match THE TERRACE Northmen finished the official 2014 northwest rugby season with two brutally close games on the road. “All in all we played pretty well,” said Northman Adam Linteris of the two-game road trip. The Northmen fell 26-24 in their first game against the Prince George Gnats. “We had a lead going into the second half and sort of fell apart for a few minutes and PG took advantage,” he said. “We managed to score in injury time (no time left) and if we could have made the conversion

A CONTINGENT of young northwest athletes is heading to the BC Summer Games this weekend. Nearly 50 Terrace-area athletes and coaches will compete in athletics, basketball, soccer, volleyball, softball, swimming, and triathlon July 17 - 20 in Nanaimo, B.C. For many, the biannual event is the first large-scale multi-sport competition they will attend. The games include opening and closing ceremonies and plenty of opportunities to bond with teammates and athletes from around B.C.

kick we would have tied.” The team lost to the Williams Lake Rustlers, who would go on to become league champions, by a try and a conversion in another close game the next day. “It took us a whole half to get moving and play like we do, guys were just beat up and sore from the previous game,” he said. Terrace came second in league play, with 81 points overall, besting Prince George. The team now readies for the annual Riverboat Days Rugby 7s tournament here in August.

Part of the joy of fishing, of rivers, of their fish and all the life about them, will always be their unpredictability.” Roderick L. Haig-Brown The far side of the side channel where the bank beavers built their lodge would be a short swim for Oona, but it’s too deep to allow me passage. I remove my sunglasses, lift the binoculars to my eyes and follow the contours of the bank upstream to a spot where it narrows a little then widens again. There are disturbances atop the water at those narrows. I assume it’s the wind riffling the surface, but the wrinkles persist. The riffles are likely the result of water over rocks or sticks. I catch the dog’s attention with a sharp whistle and we make our way upstream. She runs through the dense brush atop the bank, I struggle along the lower floor of the sloping bank slipping intermittently on the loose gravel, saving myself a spill each time by leaning on my wading staff. In this wide part of the Skeena the distances are prairie distances: everything seen afar seems a lot closer than it actually is. It takes me a quarter of an hour to reach the riffle, which thankfully owes its existence to water running over rock and proves to be thigh high all the way across. At the far side, I shake off my pack then, after leaning rod and staff against a weathered log, unzip it, take the water bottle out of it, and drink to another successful wade.

It’s not all that far but between me and that heavier flow is another sandy island; between me and the sandy island is yet another channel wider than the two I conquered earlier; and it affords me no opportunity to cross. All is not lost though. The channel is the width of a small river. It has a brisk flow. The water, which appears to filter through a log jam upstream is quite clear, and there is beach between the jam I’m standing on and the water that offers some wading and casting room. Still, I’m not optimistic. Chances are good that I’ll just get some casting practice amid beautiful surroundings. We’re here now, I tell Oona, may as well give it a go. I clamber carefully off the jam and walk upstream to where the water appears a little shallower. That done, I hang the pack on a convenient log after removing the thermos and sit down on another log to contemplate my approach over a cup of smoky Chinese tea sweetened with honey. I brought the 11 foot 8 weight switch rod in anticipation of salmon. Now I regret not having the single handed trout rod because single handed rods are more pleasurable to cast and because on the off chance that I do catch a fish, it’s likely to be a small one.

Question of the Week Driveway test driver Zack Spencer says today’s crossover vehicles have replaced the popular station wagon of yesteryear. Do you agree? Is there something about the station wagon that appeals more to you? Go to DrivewayCanada.ca to submit your answer. QUESTION

Lexus joins the compact crossover lineup with the all-new NX.

OF THE WEEK!

Drive The worldwide launch of the NX was held right here in B.C., driving between ultra modern Vancouver and the rustic resort of Whistler. International guests were exposed to the two sides of the NX, the polished city vehicle and the weekend getaway SUV. Powering around the mountain resort, I got my first shot at the all-new 2.0L direct inject turbocharged 4-cylinder that Lexus will use in a number of its vehicles. With 235hp and 258 lb.-ft. of torque this new power plant does a good job once the NX 200t is in motion; it is getting away from a stop that could use a bit more snap. AWD is standard across the lineup but the system is designed to run in front wheel drive as much as possible to help save fuel. Lexus has made no bones about its target; it sees the Audi Q5 as the benchmark in this class. Audi has been at the small turbocharged game a lot longer and it shows, plus the handling of the NX isn’t sharp at all. In fact, all the passengers inside the base model test vehicle noticed the top-heavy body roll. Verdict What Lexus (Toyota) has been up to over the past ten-plus years is

producing hybrid cars in numbers nobody else can touch. This new NX is also available as a hybrid, but don’t expect any kind of show-stopping performance. Rated at just 194hp, the heavier NX 300h hybrid might be outclassed by just-as-thrifty diesel options in the market. The price of the NX 200T has not been set but if you look at the Audi Q5 as a target, expect the price to start at roughly $41,000 when it goes on sale at the end of 2014. Fuel economy has also not been set but with a direct injection turbocharged 4-cylinder under the hood, this new Lexus should be better on fuel than the larger RX350 equipped with a V6 engine. As the small SUV market continues to grow, and this new NX certainly is one of the most eye-catching to come along in a while.

There are some quick safety checks you can make on your vehicle to protect yourself and your passengers. For starters, make sure the head restraints are at least level with the top of the head and as close as possible to the back of the head to help prevent injury.

Our neighbours to the south may still be suspicious of smaller vehicles but they are more than welcome on driveways north of the border. In the top 20 best sellers, 15 are compact or sub-compacts and the remaining five are by no means gas-guzzlers. The Honda Civic is the perennial top seller, and according to the latest figures available, the Hyundai Elantra and the Toyota Corolla follow it. The Chevrolet Cruze, currently with a starting sticker price of a few bucks more than $15,200, sits in a solid fourth place and it’s a ray of light for General Motors. It recorded a five percent year-over-year sales increase in the first quarter reports. Its 2014

Cruze is cruising up the best seller charts driveway

March sales were a fraction under 50 percent better than last year. In fact, it’s the brand’s bestseller with worldwide sales in excess of two million since its launch. Much has been written about the Ford revival and its excellent world car products – most of which fall into the small car category. GM does have competing products in what’s become a crowded market. The sub-compact Sonic is in the top 20 but nothing has caught fire in the way the Cruze has. It first surfaced here in late 2010 as a globally developed and designed compact four-door sedan and five-door hatchback, replacing the outgoing Cobalt. When I drove one of the early editions, I was impressed with its design continued on page A32

and performance, which matched any rival. It’s a car for a small family starting out or singles with a daily commute on their hands. However, I feared the Cruze would suffer from the apparent prejudice against domestically produced small cars but its sales prove me to be a pessimist! It may be a young’un but it’s already undergone some significant changes and engine improvements. Perhaps most significant among them was the introduction of a clean diesel version (pictured here) with a sticker price of around $26,000. It’s not inexpensive but Canadians like the 4.2 L/100 km highway fuel consumption offered by the 2-litre, turbocharged diesel powerplant. The base Cruze LS is also easy on your gas budget. Its standard 6-speed manual transmission, coupled with a 1.4-litre powerplant, promises a highway fuel consumption rating of

5.4 L/100 km – the auto tranny makes that 5.6 L/100 km. The Cruze Eco’s 1.4L turbocharged ECOTEC engine, generates 138 horses and sips 4.6 L/100 km on the highway. It looks good today but in 2015, the Cruze gets a significant visual refresh with an updated grille and body shape that will give it more than a passing resemblance to its larger sibling Malibu. We’re told it will get significant tech changes, including an infotainment system with a driver alert text system that can be read through smart phones and over Bluetooth, plus additional USB ports, and a 4G LTE connection enabling it to function as a WiFi hot spot. The Chevrolet AppShop will allow owners to download all available apps directly to the vehicle, offering access to vehicle data, music, news, weather and travel information. No prices yet.

“Being the product manager in charge of the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado, isn’t always

easy. But that challenge is probably what I like most about my job. We built a V8 engine that’s as fuel efficient as some V6s. People didn’t think that could be done, we did it. I’m proud of that.”
