Taxation pursuit set to continue
JACKIE LIEUWEN PHOTO
■■ Escaping fire JORDAN BECKLEY escapes from the smoking fire safety house assisted by firefighter Brady Champoux. Beckley is a student at the Jack Cook Francophone School, one of more than six schools visited by the fire department during Fire Prevention Week last week. Firefighter Jason Arsenault told students that fire alarms are essential, and should be in every room or at least on every floor. Many students were quick to answer questions about escaping a home safely, which includes tips such as testing the temperature of a door, staying low, and going to a planned meeting place after they exit a home.
AN UPCOMING tour of the region is planned by the provincial cabinet minister who could hold a key to northwestern local governments receiving a share of provincial resource taxation revenue. It is being regarded as a good sign by Skeena New Democratic MLA Robin Austin. That’s because Peter Fassbender, who became responsible for local governments following a cabinet shuffle in early summer, has more clout than his predecessor, Coralee Oakes, Austin said. “The good news is that at least minister Fassbender is somebody who has a lot more heft in cabinet then Coralee Oakes ever did,” said Austin. “He has handled big files, for example the teachers’ file, and he’s been moved over to difficult files down here, like he’s now in charge of TransLink, which has proven to be a very complicated file for the government,” he said. When he was education minister, Fassbender represented the province during an escalating series of teacher job actions which resulted in a full-scale work stoppage in 2014. The teachers and the province negotiated a five-year contract in late September of that year. Austin said he hopes northwestern local government officials who have joined the Northwest B.C. Resource Benefits Alliance, the coalition formed to promote the issue of resource taxation for northwestern governments, press Fassbender during his tour. “The line in the past has been until there is an LNG deal signed, we aren’t doing anything. Well, that’s too late,” said Austin in noting that roads, bridges and schools need to be in place even before final investment decisions are made. He said the Liberals committed themselves to a more general rural dividend during the 2013 election, a program that would provide monies across all rural areas on the province. “All I would say is the BC Liberals promised this, so it’s time for them to actually action it now and do something around it and hopefully minister Fassbender will be told that,” said Austin. The regional resource benefits alliance is framed around having local governments coming under pressure to provide services because of large scale industrial activity yet not having the ability to tax corporations because they are not within their boundaries. Stacey Tyers, a City of Terrace council-
lor and Kitimat-Regional district chair who is also chair of the resource benefits alliance, says she’s ready to meet with Fassbender again following a session she and other northwestern local government officials had with him last month in Vancouver. She did detect a change in the spring when the province turned down a benefits alliance request for $1.1 million to further its work. “The global market crashed. To be fair, the amount of revenue they thought they were going to get changed pretty drastically. They passed LNG legislation that only gives them 3.5 per cent taxes, and then the market also dropped,” said Tyers. But she thinks the resource revenue sharing framework that the benefits alliance is presenting is one that will work no matter what the economy is like. “They can’t overcommit if it’s negotiated on a percentage basis. We are talking about resources, mining too, large resource projects, it doesn’t just have to be LNG,” said Tyers.

Prices level out
SEVERAL YEARS of significant jumps in residential detached home price increases appear to have come to an end, indicate the latest figures from the BC Northern Real Estate Board. For the first nine months of this year, the average price was $308,266 with 131 homes sold compared to $307,507 for the first nine months of 2014 with 136 homes sold. And that 2014 price was considerably higher than the $250,157 for the first nine months of 2013 with 170 homes sold which itself was higher than the $219,242 for 2012 with 148 homes sold. Kitimat’s single family residential prices dropped to $303,510 for the first nine months of this year with 57 homes sold compared to $318,270 for the first nine months of last year with 67 homes sold. Prince Rupert, on the other hand, saw a rise, from $214,136 for the first nine months of 2014 through the sale of 192 homes to $248,865 with the sale of 126 homes sold for the first nine months of this year.

VOTE Tyler Nesbitt
I’m in this race because I care deeply about this region. I will fight for our jobs, our security and our values. There are enormous economic opportunities at our doorstep like new mining and LNG projects that would deliver benefits for all the people of the Northwest. We must ask ourselves whether we seize these opportunities or risk squandering them by electing an NDP federal government – a party that no longer supports jobs but instead forces us to choose either the environment or the economy. We CAN protect both. We can grow our economy while being environmental stewards. On October 19 vote Tyler Nesbitt to protect our economy AND our environment.
From the Northwest, for the Northwest Authorized by the Official Agent for Tyler Nesbitt
A CELEBRATION of life was held yesterday in memory of Gary Turner, a long-term school trustee for the Coast Mountains school district. Turner served for 15 years as trustee for Thornhill and passed away suddenly in Terrace on Friday, October 2. He was 67. School board chair Art Erasmus says Turner was well-known to Gary Turner the schools he represented, and served with passion and dedication. “He spent a lot of time at his schools working with kids and with teachers and participating in sport programs and whatever,” said Erasmus. Lynn Newbery from Hazelton was a trustee with Turner for six years, and says she had a great appreciation for him and his dedication to the district. “When there were things happening in Kitwanga or in the Hazelton schools, I could always count on Gary to be interested and to turn up to be part of whatever was happening,” said Newbery. “He never let me down as far as coming and expressing interest in the children and schools on this end of the school district.” Turner was trustee when Thornhill Junior Secondary closed in 2011, a move opposed by many of the Thornhill families. Turner opposed the closure, questioning whether it would save money and concerned for First Nations and special needs students who might get lost in the shuffle.

Nisga’a sign deal for hydro project THE NISGA’A Lisims Government has added a planned hydro-electric project to its growing list of projects from which it will earn revenues for itself and jobs for its citizens. Planned is a 50 megawatt-rated project to be built by WindRiver Power Corporation which will use glacierfed Kinskuch Lake north of the Nass Valley as a reservoir. Property around the lake owned by Nisga’a Nation will add to the size of the reservoir and a 60-kilometre line will connect to the provincial grid via BC Hydro’s Northwest Transmission line at a substation in New Aiyansh in the Nass Valley. In return for using the Nisga’a land at the lake and access through Nisga’a lands connecting to the substation, WindRiver will make payments during construction, royalty payments based on output afterward and support employment for Nisga’a citizens. The Nisga’a Lisims Government will also have the opportunity to take on an equity position in the project and it has agreed to support WindRiver as the project moves through various environmental and other regulatory requirements. Nisga’a Lisims president Mitchell Stevens called the planned project another in a line of ones to provide an economic base for the Nisga’a. “The key piece is the fee simple lands [around the lake].

KINSKUCH LAKE north of the Nass Valley could became a hydro-electric site thanks to a deal between a company and the Nisga’a. Nisga’a] Final Agreement,” he said. The Nisga’a also negotiated provisions for power projects tie-ins to BC Hydro’s Northwest Transmission Line, Stevens added. Environmental work at Kinskuch has found no fish in the lake because of its location high in the alpine and that makes the project environmentally appealing, he said. “One of the next steps is to work on an energy purchase agreement with BC Hydro,” Stevens continued, adding that the agreement needs to be long enough to recoup the capital investment and make a profit. The Nisga’a and WindRiver began to talk about the project after a water licence for
the lake held by another company lapsed. “WindRiver has been very, very accommodating,” said Stevens of provisions within the 2000 Nisga’a Final Agreement, which gives the Nisga’a say in industrial and other activity within its own lands and surrounding territory. WindRiver president Kipp Horton called the Nisga’a agreement a key first step. “This project has the ability to deliver clean, reliable electricity,” said Horton. Unlike wind-generated power which varies depending on the winds, reservoir-based hydro-electric projects can provide a consistent source of power, he said. “Plants like these can
last for a very, very long time, 80 to 100 years,” Horton added. Next up for WindRiver is negotiating a purchase agreement with BC Hydro, more studies and acquiring the necessary environmental and other approvals. A capital cost has yet to be determined, said Horton. Last year another small hydro-electric project of 31 megawatts at Long Lake near Stewart went into service at a cost of $100 million. On that project the provincial government is providing the Nisga’a with up to $123,820 a year from revenues it is collecting, because it is located within the area over which the Nisga’a have an influence through its 2000 final agreement.
Mine project boss steps down ALLOYCORP, THE company whose subsidiary Avanti Kitsault Mining Ltd. wants to develop a molybdenum mine at Kitsault on the north coast, has lost its president. Gordon Bogden left Sept. 25 after a little more than 18 months on the job. He was first named to the company’s board in 2012 and became the third president in the company’s history in
Wednesday, October 14, 2015 Terrace Standard
March 2014. “I would like to thank everyone who has worked so tirelessly at Alloycorp during my tenure and wish them continued success,” said Bogden in a statement the day he left. The company was first formed in 2007 under the name of Avanti Mining, purchased the Kitsault property in 2008 and rebranded as Alloycorp in late 2014. Avanti Kitsault Mining
then became a subsidiary of Alloycorp. Bogden was president as the company completed the last of its environmental and other approvals for the project. Those approvals included an economic benefits agreement with the Nisga’a Lisims Government, ending a dispute over permitting and environmental oversight at the property.
The company then spent tens of millions over the last winter repairing a bridge, building roads and setting up a construction camp in anticipation of a full-on construction start this summer. But it fell short in raising the full estimated $1 billion it would need and that, combined with a fall in the price of molybdenum, caused it to put the project on hold this summer.

FEDERAL ELECTION 2015

JACKIE LIEUWEN PHOTO
FEDERAL ELECTION candidates from the left, Conservative Tyler Nesbitt, Liberal Brad Layton, Don Spratt from the Christian Heritage Party and New Democrat Nathan Cullen at a forum held here Oct. 6. Not in attendance was Jeannie Parnell, the Green party candidate.
LNG sparks candidate exchange THE PROSPECT of a liquefied natural gas (LNG) industry in northwestern B.C. brought out some of the sharpest remarks of the evening during a federal election all candidates meeting held in Terrace Oct. 6. When asked if he supported LNG development, NDP incum-
bent Nathan Cullen referred to the planned Pacific NorthWest LNG project, which is majority-owned by Malaysian state-controlled Petronas, on Lelu Island near Port Edward. The choice of that location, which is adjacent to Flora Banks, considered crucial fish habitat for Skeena River
fish populations, is being heavily criticized by native and environmental groups. Cullen called it the “least likely” location, one he said a Malaysian official told him was selected by putting a pin on a map. “I said ‘good for you,’” Cullen recounted.
The problem, Cullen continued, rests with what he said was a “gutting” of the environmental review process over several years by the federal government which then left people leery of any results. “We need to make it better so we can have that confidence again,” Cullen said.
Nesbitt responded, saying it was clear the NDP does not support a regional LNG industry because it doesn’t support fracking, the method used to extract natural gas. “They say ‘oh, it’s the assessment’ or ‘it’s the location’ or it’s something else,” said Nesbitt.
Views clash over security bill FEDERAL ELECTION candidates clashed over the federal government’s new security act at a forum here Oct. 6. Conservative hopeful Tyler Nesbitt accused New Democrat incumbent Nathan Cullen of spreading misinformation about the intent of Bill C-51. The act expands the powers of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) beyond its past role of observing individuals
to allowing it to disrupt activities. It would also permit more sharing of information, such as tax returns, between federal agencies. Nesbitt framed his comments around the need to counter terrorism and said security authorities would still need to convince a judge of their intended activities. “Read that bill,” Nesbitt urged. “Any disruption measure that goes against that person
has to be reviewed by a judge. We are the only country within our … allies where a warrant to go and take action on that person is actually required.” He said NDP opposition to the bill was an example of fear mongering, something he called “the modus operandi” of the NDP. Cullen countered by reading from a copy of Bill C-51 he pulled up from his laptop computer to say its measures
go beyond counter-terrorism. “Well, here is the actual bill…a redefinition of what terrorism is, away from Al Qaida and ISIS and all these things, to say any activity that undermines the security of Canada or interferes with the economic or financial stability of Canada or interferes with critical infrastructure,” said Cullen. He also said CSIS has already been spying on northwestern
citizens and that it has had agents at the All Native Basketball Tournament that is held each year in Prince Rupert. Nesbitt responded: “I think it is totally irresponsible to take things that are accusations before the courts and say them like they are de facto, and that is exactly what’s happening, that you know CSIS spies were working at this and that.”

Murdered, missing inquiry backed A NATIONAL inquiry into murdered and missing aboriginal women drew support from all candidates at a federal election forum held here Oct. 6. Liberal candidate Brad Layton said it was also important to act on inquiries and investigations that had already been conducted. Those inquiries and investigations “should not collect dust on the shelf,” he said. New Democrat Nathan Cullen re-affirmed an existing pledge of the NDP that it would begin an inquiry within 100 days if elected as the government. He said he found it inter-
esting that while the Conservative government could find the money for an inquiry into missing salmon on the Fraser River when Prime Minister Stephen Harper “was asked for his opinion on an inquiry [for missing women] he said it’s not on the radar to hold an inquiry.” That, Cullen continued, showed “a certain level of insensitivity not becoming of the office [of Prime Minister].” The matter of missing and murdered aboriginal women was one of racism, of poverty and having more choices for young aboriginal women and girls, he added.
“I’ve walked with these families. They have incredible courage year in and year out and we need a government that shares this courage to get to the heart of the matter,” said Cullen. Conservative candidate Tyler Nesbitt said the issue is “high on his radar.” “The number of First Nation abused, kidnapped and murdered in this country is absolutely abhorrent,” said Nesbitt. He said work has already started to implement recommendations from previous inquiries. “It has to do with family vi-
olence and prevention efforts,” Nesbitt said. “If I’m elected here, I will push for increases in that funding and oppose anyone who wants to take that funding away,” said Nesbitt. Don Spratt from the Christian Heritage Party and a strong pro-life activist, felt police sometimes have misplaced priorities. He recounted a time when, while standing outside an abortion clinic in East Vancouver, three police cars circled the block, keeping an eye on him. Their time would have been better spent tracking down serial killers, said Spratt.
He added that the number of LNG benefit agreements signed by First Nations along gas pipeline routes or for plant locations shows First Nations leaders “understand what it’s going to do for their people.” The ‘N’ in LNG stands for ‘Nesbitt,’ said the Conservative candidate. Using a rebuttal card which allowed candidates to respond to statements of others, Cullen responded: “I wish the Conservatives had the same passion for wild salmon and climate change.”
He said Nesbitt’s statements would seem to leave just two choices – clean air and water, or jobs. “They have this 1950’s outlook, it’s either the economy or the environment,” he said. The world is shifting to renewable energy, something which Canada needs to do likewise, Cullen continued. “That’s the way to develop the economy,” he said. Cullen pointed to Norway with a $1 trillion bank account from energy developments and free university.

They said it “Children belong to the Lord and he gives them to their parents. And children do not belong to the state.” Christian Heritage Party candidate Don Spratt. “Our common interests are greater than the things that divide us.” New Democrat Nathan Cullen. “I’ll measure my success by how many jobs I help create, not kill.” Conservative Tyler Nesbitt. “There has to be accountability. That’s why I’m running.” Liberal Brad Layton. “They mislead, mislead and misinform. That’s what the NDP does.” Nesbitt. “I’m hurt. We put a lot of work into it.” Cullen in responding to Nesbitt’s statement that he used a Cullen pamphlet as fire starter. “...abortuary...” Word used by Spratt, a pro-life activist, to describe abortion clinics. “It’s not that it’s costing them more to make. They’ve decided to make more profits even though the oil prices have dropped.” Layton on current gas prices.

EDITORIAL
Voting Voters in the audience at the Oct.6 federal all candidates at the REM Lee Theatre, and those watching at home via CityWest, had lots to think about, whether it was national issues such as the economy or national security or more local ones such as the prospect of a liquefied natural gas industry or the unsolved cases of murdered or missing aboriginal women. The candidates – NDP incumbent Nathan Cullen, Conservative Tyler Nesbitt, Liberal Brad Layton and Don Spratt from the Christian Heritage Party (Green Jeannie Parnell was not in attendance) – were clear and forceful in laying out their individual and party opinions and platforms. This is one of the strongest fields of candidates in recent federal elections and it showed. There was no mushiness in how the candidates presented themselves and their responses to each other’s statements showed conviction and purpose. It is also a testament to the stamina of each of the candidates given the Terrace forum was but one of many held or being held across one of the largest federal ridings in the country. So with just days before Oct. 19 it is now up to the voters to place their ‘X’ on the ballot. If the candidates can spend weeks traveling back and forth across the Skeena - Bulkley Valley riding, there is no reason why a voter ca not give up an hour or so to go to the polls on Oct. 19.

It’s all thanks to Les Watmough
ociety benefits from two political styles – the sheepdog approach where a broad field of causes are nudged along, some leading as others hang back, and the laser style where an individual or group concentrates on attaining a single goal. As a longtime Area E regional district director, Les Watmough employed the two styles but his main objective was always twopronged – water and sewer for Thornhill. We moved to Thornhill in May, 1975 and from our first handshake, Watmough emphasized water and sewer as the two services that would allow our area to grow with business and industrial development to shoulder a major share of the taxes necessary to install and support both conveniences to our citizens. Our lot, when we moved our mobile home onto it, was an unofficial salvage yard strewn with rusted car rims, axles and various other discarded car parts. A truckload mound of lunchbox-sized rocks blocked our view of the gravelled street. Neighbourhood kids beat a shortcut

CLAUDETTE SANDECKI past our front door on their way to what became Copper Mountain elementary school. The average alcoholic has more teeth than our street had houses. Only three hinted of any fence and those were too low to deter any dog. Chickens, rabbits and goats lived in backyards. The area had no animal control bylaw. My daily dog walks began by dodging a vicious Airedale across the street and a German shepherd that once charged me, towing the three front steps he had been tethered to, shoving me off a culvert and into a deep ditch. Multiple skirmishes with vicious dogs and an equal
number of complaints to regional district eventually led to an animal control bylaw that now keeps our streets free of roaming dogs except for the occasional stubborn household who turns their pets loose when the dog pound closes for the day. From memory, I can’t recall which came first – the Thornhill firehall, or improved streets. Both might have eventually become part of our community but without a doubt, Watmough hastened their arrival. During forest fire seasons and in between, I appreciate having those red trucks lined up in front of the firehall when fire risk is high. Many mornings on my way to town every truck is lined up out front ready to go, all manned by volunteers. Our street had its own excellent water supply from a well at one end. Only when the regional district put through a waterline years later did our street’s individual well cease to operate. At every monthly regional district meeting or government gathering, Watmough advocated for paved streets, lighting, and eventually sidewalks to safeguard kids, par-

ticularly, on their walks to and from school. In between, he fought for transit and convenient, affordable bus rides. Still, meeting him on the way into our bank, he had time to chat and the first topic to come up after the weather was, “When do you think we might get sewer?” The lack of adequate septic service limited businesses to those needing only one or two bathrooms, such as machine shops and car dealers. Motels and hotels were ruled out for lack of area to lay a septic field. Until the promise of industrial development, LNG and an anticipated influx of workers prompted the construction of a four-storey hotel. Seemingly overnight a sewer line is going in under Highway 16 to accommodate the hotel. Expect a newsworthy grand opening once the finishing touches are applied with speeches by the developer and civic leaders. Thanks will be handed out to all concerned and, I trust, to Les Watmough for his unfailing vision and endeavour. Claudette Sandecki lives in Thornhill, B.C.

WRITER SAYS Nathan Cullen failed in his duty to constituents by going against what he said he would do in regards to the long gun registry vote.
Cullen not loyal to voters
An open letter to Nathan Cullen: In light of your absconding from your duty to your constituents last term re: the long gun registry (LGR) vote and your claim of “I can be trusted. I will do as I say” then flew directly into the face of democracy by feathering your own nest because you were told to
W
vote party line, why would this riding support you again? This is not about the outcome of the LGR per se as your vote made no difference as cons had the majority anyway. It is about stupid people demanding loyalty for the party over the wishes of the people they are supposed to represent.
You give lip service to being against pipeline tankers and saving the ecology etc. up here, however, when push comes to shove and your party tells you to vote in accordance with allowing all that, what will you do? I believe I know, as you have aptly demonstrated where your allegiance lies, with yourself. The dirty half
dozen of the compatriots of your party who capitulated to the party whip, on that LGR vote, should also be turfed as well, in my estimation. No one should be running for office that has neither the conviction, nor the loyalty or commitment to his constituents before party politics.
Dear Sir: Another federal election arrives with the same bland limited discussions: taxes, deficits, spending less, spending more, and jobs jobs jobs jobs. Really, is that all there is to a national government, politics? Well what about reality?? The ongoing killing of Canadian babies and the forced indoctrination of all Canadian children attending public schools varying from province to province repeats the pattern that established the residential schools of the past. How?? Public schools are being used to indoctrinate all children into an ideology that is deliberately set out and subjects all children to learn of sexual behaviours that are known to inflict major health problems and the possibility for some to request abortions along with its possible long-term health problems for the mother. This abuse of power by all the major political parties and condoned by the Canadian judiciary, the Canadian medical professions, teachers associations and promoted by the mainstream media, is the worst of the worst, as it surpasses the collective and individual abuse of those victimized children who had to attend residential schools and were sexually, physically and culturally abused. Now every child/student is systematically abused for the pleasure of a small few, who currently have so much influence it resembles control of our government apparatus. Pseudo Science is claimed to justify many of the reasons that familiarity in these sex behaviours is necessary for minors, yet the opposite is the case. The disease control centre in Atlanta, Georgia shows that sexual behaviour in young children is detrimental to their overall health and homosexual behaviour introduces a more serious level of possible diseases and the potential for early death.

Young voters need to read this
ith Statistics Canada showing that a smaller proportion of seniors currently fall below low-income cutoffs than any other age group, the concern is that younger Canadians may not be saving enough for their retirement, in part because younger Canadians have less access to generous pensions paid by employers than did workers who started out some decades ago. What does research tell us about this problem? Young Canadians can’t save money they don’t have because costs are higher than in the past. Research shows it is harder for young adults to save today because they earn thousands less for full-time work than in the past, in jobs that less often pay pensions, and despite having more postsecondary, they have larger student debts and they pay hundreds of thousands more for housing. This means any plans to adapt Canada and Quebec Public Pension (CPP and QPP) plans must occur in tandem with policy changes that save young Canadi-
ans money when they are young adults. In other words, strong retirement security policy for Canadians in their 20s, 30s and 40s requires a two-prong approach: First, adapt policy related to postsecondary, child care, and housing to save young adults money, because these major costs are much higher now than in the past. Second, revise CPP and QPP rules so that young Canadians can efficiently put aside some of these savings for their own retirement in partnership with their employers. By focusing only on adapting CPP and QPP policy, we risk tightening the squeeze by mandating that young Canadians find more money to put aside for their retirement amid their current time, money and service squeeze. This is like trying to squeeze water from a stone, and implies that young Canadians are simply dumber than in the past when it comes to saving. They’re not. Research also cautions against accepting uncritically when banks and investment companies
GUEST COMMENT
PAUL KERSHAW tell Canadians we should be aiming to replace 70 per cent of our annual income when retired. Evidence indicates that a replacement rate of between 40 to 70 per cent will result in many Canadians enjoying a better overall standard of living in retirement than what they experience as young adults, especially when they start their own families. How do the federal parties compare?
All the parties are short on specifics for now. The NDP, Liberals and Greens have all stated they are committed to revising CPP and QPP in ways that are consistent with having employees and employers contribute more,and they would negotiate such details with the provinces shortly after being elected. The Conservative party vision for CPP reform is different. The Conservatives would enable workers to top up their savings in the CPP in addition to, or instead of, putting money aside in an RRSP or a Tax Free Savings Account (TFSA). They won’t ask employers without pension plans to contribute more for their workers. Like the other parties, the Conservative proposal would give Canadians greater access to the expert management of the CPP Investment Board and do so at fees that are far lower than what we pay in the private sector. This is good for maximizing our savings. However, if you are concerned about younger Canadians not
saving enough for later retirement, the Conservative proposal does little to address the problem directly. There are already lots of other voluntary savings mechanisms like RRSPs and TFSAs that younger people aren’t using – typically because they don’t have the cash to put aside. There is no obvious reason to believe they’ll start using a new optional CPP mechanism when they’re not using the other savings options that already exist. For example, Canadians under 45 only benefit from one third of the tax savings made available through RRSPs - the majority of the savings go to older Canadians. The same is true for Tax Free Savings Accounts. Canadians age 60+ are three to five times more likely to max out their TFSAs, compared to those age 18 to 49.

MP gives us ‘lip service’ What is the point, if all we need are a leading dictator and a cabinet? Why pay for a bunch of clapping seals? Do we [have] nothing except sales reps for the party? You sir are as much of a lying, career politician as any that are currently in power or waiting in the wings to take power the way I see it. Politicians like yourself have now allowed democracy to be ruled by temporary dictators. People such as Brent Rathgerber or Bruce Hyer, formerly of your party, are the ones we need to look to, for democracy, and loyalty to their constituents. Voting for NDP, Conservative or Liberals is simply a continuation of term dictatorships.
The only people worth voting for seem to be Independents or the Green Party who have declared they will allow free votes. That is democracy, not what the rest of you carpet baggers have espoused. I call on you to do the right thing by resigning, allowing for someone else to feather their nest until he/she has enough time accumulated for their great pension plan. Going along with the ABC crowd or strategic voting will produce exactly what? Looks like status quo with no discernible change. Does not bring democracy back.

We will be held accountable The causes and repercussions of sexually transmitted infections are well explained by Dr. Miriam Grossman in her talk to Ontario parents that’s available via video. She identifies for anyone who engages in some of these behaviours the illnesses they may have to live with for life. To force children to “learn” of and how to engage in such behaviour, seems to me to be centred in a hatred for Canada’s youth and a gross negligence at best by past and current provincial and federal governments. Given the known fallout of the residential school system and the enormous costs to everyone involved, this current enforced abuse will have monumental consequences in the future when these children mature and realize they were deliberately targeted and purposefully victimized by those who claim to be the guardians of the innocent, trusted public figures. This will also include their parents. They will demand accountability for their selfinduced diseases/sicknesses that will be the result of the behaviours that were forced on them as “good options” by every level of government, judicial system, medical professionals, teachers unions and the media who implemented or condoned these programs. The national media is pathetic as they repeat the same abandonment of truth as was the case in past German and Soviet history. This abuse is now nationwide and smells of a new dictatorship, not by one party, but by a faceless minority that is
assuming to own every institution in the country. Are these programs a followup to help destroy these babies who survived the baby killing through abortion and are targeted once again in their innocence, despite the desires of most parents to protect and educate them to be better adults than our generation, to love them as persons and to enable a future Canada to lead the world out of this self-hatred that we have fallen into? Thankfully ordinary men and women have had enough, as is happening in Ontario and spreading to other provinces, including the profound change in our neighbourhood, given the video disclosures of the barbaric butchering and marketing of baby parts in the USA. Are these practices also happening in Canada or is it a case of silence is golden? Will the present federal election produce discussion on this infanticide and child abuse and stop their implementation or not? If not, then Canadians will repeat these abuses with wilful intent, and we will no longer have the illusion that our past apologies were sincere or that we are “good people.”

The Mail Bag Time for Cullen to go Peace be with you Dear Sir: In the 11 years of Nathan Cullen being the MP for this riding, I can’t think of one thing that he’s got behind to promote any kind of economic development or economic growth for this area. Not one thing. If anything he’s gone the other way to try and keep industry out of this area. Yes he does go to the odd pancake breakfast and barbecue fundraiser but that’s all photo opp. But to bring in any kind of economic development prosperity again he has done nothing. If he is re-elected and the NDP gets in in Ottawa, he will become a minister in a short period of time. That comes with a nice big fat raise and he gets to pad his pension even more for doing what? I believe that if this happens, all the LNG
projects will be put under review and they will be suspended indefinitely, making the energy companies not very happy and eventually they will be fed up and leave along with the billions and billions they were going to invest in this area. Along with the thousands of high-paying construction jobs and the hundreds of goodpaying full-time positions that would need to be filled once these LNG facilities are completed. Without industry there is no economy and what are we supposed to go back to, more years of devastation? We’ve already had 15 years of that. No thank-you. Again the question is what has he done for this area...and the answer is nothing. It’s time for a change all right. It’s time to change the MP for this riding. Nathan Cullen has got to go.

Dear Sir: Dr. David Heinimann has written another dismissive missive [Sept. 30]. Is he suggesting I have no right to vote because I’m a flag-waving member of the Christian Heritage Party? The country was built by Christians who were more tolerant than most atheists. Atheistic science turfed God from all science books by 1900 just because they didn’t like Him. I recently asked Christians if we all evolved, why did Jesus have to come down and die on the cross for our sins? Some people were shocked at the question! The fact is Jesus loves you, no matter who you are, Dave. Me too. Both my brothers are atheists and I haven’t killed anyone for speaking
their minds. Are you saying the Duck Dynasty are theocratic nonsense because they run churches and make Jesus movies, ie. God is [not] Dead. For fire insurance I give people Romans 10:9-10: Confess with your mouth Jesus is Lord and Saviour; and believe forever in his resurrection and the Gates of Heaven will be open to you. A million angels will sing glad tidings for Dr. David Heinimann’s salvation and you won’t even have to read the King James Version! How exciting is that? We dare to raze hell to populate heaven only by choice. There are two ways of saying this: peace on you, or, peace be with you; I prefer the latter. Brian Gregg, Terrace, B.C.

C OMMUNITY Getting hitchhikers’ perspective TERRACE STANDARD
MARGARET SPEIRS
(250) 638-7283
WHILE GOVERNMENT and groups hold sessions to discuss solutions to hitchhikers going missing or being murdered, a university study is underway to see what hitchhikers have to say about their experiences. University of Northern BC professor Dr. Jacqueline Holler, associate professor department of history, women's studies and gender studies, is advertising with a poster that participants in her study can either fill out a survey online or be interviewed or both and she and her graduate students who are working with her are looking to hear from women and men. "We now have well over 100 responses, and we are hoping to get many more over the next couple of months!" said Holler last week. "So far, we are learning that people's experiences with hitchhiking are diverse, and so are people's reasons for hitchhiking." There isn't one reason, such as poverty, for hitchhiking, as many people seem to think, she said, adding that people who hitchhike think a lot about how to be safe. "Many of them have pointed out to us that hitchhiking is just one arena in which safety is an issue; so when we ask about whether hitchhiking is safe, the question is always 'compared to what'?" she said, adding that study participants have shared many of their strategies for staying safe. However, she added that since the study is ongoing and interviews haven't started yet, she didn't want to share specific comments so as not to skew the results of the study. She did say that men's answers definitely differ from women's for many issues including the issue of safety and the gender differences aren't simplistic. "Some men also have scary experiences and feel unsafe while hitchhiking," she said. "I'm so happy now that we decided to
talk to all genders rather than to focus only on women; we really have a richer sense of how gender affects hitchhiking and look forward to exploring that further in the interviews we are currently scheduling." And ethnicity and age affect people's experiences while hitchhiking, she added. Participants have really reflected a range of experience of how often and how far they hitchhike: some don't hitchhike any more, some have only hitchhiked in a very local area, while others have hitchhiked throughout BC and in other places and countries, said Holler. Some hitchhike only occasionally, for example, when a ride falls through or they are between jobs and short of cash, while others hitchhike extensively and have taken hundreds of trips, she said. Study indications are that younger people are more likely to hitchhike, and many started hitchhiking at a young age, but others hitchhike into middle age and beyond. "So there really isn't a 'typical' hitchhiker, just as there isn't a 'typical' plane passenger or car driver," said Holler. "There is, however, a lot of stereotyping of hitchhikers, which is something that our participants are aware of." Many people have told of good experiences while hitchhiking, for example, being picked up by a particularly kind or generous driver, and many people have said that they like meeting new people, she added. "At the same time, people have had truly hair-raising experiences while hitchhiking, and I am humbled that people have shared those experiences with us too," said Holler, adding participants have told of all kinds of interesting, unexpected, and surprising things. "My heart goes out to everyone who has had one of those experiences; I want them all to know that we hear their words with respect and empathy." Quite a few

"They are the experts on hitchhiking, and our findings are going to be so much stronger because of those who are participating in our work."
She added that they are looking forward to sharing their data in winter 2016. The survey continues to the end of 2015, and then begins data analysis in January, she said. Anyone interested in taking the survey can find it at http://www.fluidsurveys.com/s/hitchhiking or see www.facebook.com/unbchitchhiking. And if you want to be interviewed, the study team is in the Terrace area in mid-October and can be contacted at hitchhiking@unbc.ca.
She’s lived alone in remote areas for 30+ years CARIBOU DISAPPEARING in the snow, 100 swans taking off from a frozen lake and the reflecting sunset over on a lake mark a few of the highlights of nature from 30 years living off the grid for Chris Czajkowski. These very beautiful and moving sights are even more intense when she’s alone. “I would think ‘I’m the only one seeing this, it’s especially for me,’” she says, adding they’re “just magical experiences.” Her newest, and 11th, book is primarily a review of 30-plus years of remote wilderness living spanning her time at Lonesome Lake and Nuk Tessli, but the book also includes chapters on growing up in England and backpacking for a decade around the world. Czajkowski tends to get up at 4 or 5 and go to bed at 8 p.m. “When I’ve had visitors, they’re always amazed when I throw them out at 8,” she says. “So in that respect, I guess my life is a bit different.”
She has a regular landline phone and satellite internet, which is the only way to have internet where she’s living now – three-and-a-half hours from Williams Lake. “I really have a hard time deciding whether it’s been one big vacation or just constant work,,” she says. She didn’t take any survival skills courses but grew up in a very rural area and her parents had no money so they made everything, which she says could be kind of a survival skill. Nature in England isn’t exactly tooth and claw like over here, but as she travelled, she always enjoyed nature and just got into wilder and wilder places as she moved around, “I didn’t do a lot of completely being alone. I wasn’t alone for more than just one day, then it grew to a number of days in New Zealand, up to 10 days alone and I just kind of learned as I went along, I did learn what a wonderful experience it was to have nobody around for several days,”
she says. Being out in remote areas alone wasn’t scary either. “Not really, I have been scared. You meet a bear face to face and think ‘ohmygod what am I going to do?’ I’ve been charged by a bear but it eventually ran away, and I’ve always been frightened by the weather turned very bad and I’ve been in situations. “I’m a heck of a lot more frightened driving on the freeway,” she says. She does guiding for a living but not for hunting or fishing. “I’m just a tree hugger and flower sniffer and birds [watcher] and I’m interested in that side of nature photography and all that.” But life alone off the grid still can be stressful, but she won’t be moving into town, ever, she says. “There’s all kind of stress. I have to work at not being overstressed actually, If I leave here, it’s going to be in a box. I couldn’t live in a town or city,” she says. The farthest away from a town or city she’s lived was a
difficult trek getting to town in winter. “Nuk Tessli was the most difficult to get out in the winter, because it would be take me four days to snowshoe out,” she says. “Planes are not always available in winter, in summer there’s always a float plane if you really want one, if you can afford it,” For those who are interested in living away from civilization as she has, she says there’s nothing better, “[But I would] not recommend it to too many because it would get too crowded out here,” she laughs. “I’m amazed how people have written to me and said they were dithering about making a decision or not going to make a decision, not necessarily living in the wilderness, and said after reading my book, they have the courage to do that. I wasn’t’ looking for that. It’s very gratifying to think people get that out of my books,” she says. For more on Chris Czajkowski and her book tour here, see City Scene on page 11.

Terrace Standard Wednesday, October 14, 2015

ust days before this newspaper ran a story about casinos, another publication took a look at casinos. I wonder if there are any lessons for us. “Hotel company eyes major Terrace, B.C. project” by Josh Massey - Terrace Standard, September 9, 2015. The company that owns the Chances gaming centre here has set its sights on moving it to a new location where it would be combined with an executivelevel hotel and conference centre. Pomeroy Lodging vice president Jackie Clayton said Pomeroy has been looking at land in Terrace along Keith Avenue west of Kenney, which was once part of the Skeena Cellulose/Terrace Lumber Company complex. A portion of that property is owned by the city. “There is real need for an executive hotel in Terrace,” said Clayton last week from Alberta. But the multi-stage plan, which would be similar to a convention centre, hotel and casino complex owned by Pomeroy in Fort St. John, hinges on first expanding the number of slot machines at the current location, a move already turned down in 2012 by the city council of the day. “The Death and Life of Atlantic City” by Nick Paumgarten – the New Yorker, September 7, 2015. “Starting in 2006, an immense slab of steel and glass was rising over the badlands: a hotel and casino to be called Revel, destined to be bigger and more opulent than anything Atlantic City had ever seen.” Well, this would be Terrace’s fanciest hotel, so that sounds familiar. But the economy changed: “In 2009, amid the financial meltdown, Revel, only half built, ran out of money. In
W H AT ?
CHARLYNN TOEWS
Pacific City April, 2010, Morgan Stanley quit the project, booking a loss of almost a billion dollars. Construction stopped.” Oops, that doesn’t sound good: resource economies famously fluctuate. “At the beginning of 2011, Governor Chris Christie pledged tax incentives to Revel worth more than a quarter of a billion dollars. (The incentives were tied to certain revenue targets, which, in the end, Revel failed to meet.)” I don’t think we would pledge tax incentives, but I do worry about revenue targets with LNG workers coming and going, or maybe not arriving. “Revel opened in the spring of 2012, with Beyoncé performing a series of concerts in its auditorium. The plan had been scaled back—just 1,400 rooms, and one tower instead of two. The tower’s midsection had a half-dozen stories not yet built out; you could see clear through it.” Okay, so we are not likely getting Beyoncé, maybe not even
Trooper, but the plan might be scaled back. “The casino wasn’t making nearly as much money as the developers had anticipated. Even though occupancy was decent and the nightclubs and restaurants were busy, the tables and slots weren’t taking in enough to offset the cost of operating the place. Within a year of opening, Revel filed for bankruptcy. It restructured and emerged from Chapter 11 a few months later, but the economics still didn’t make sense, and so, in the spring of 2014, it went bankrupt once again. Finally, last September, unable to find a buyer, it closed.” Hoo boy, it hurts a lot of people – including employees and suppliers – when a company files for bankruptcy protection. Hmm, here’s another thing, the flowright-back-out: “The state passed the Casino Control Act, which was an attempt to reverse Atlantic City’s decline. But, perhaps predictably, a lot of the money that flowed in flowed right back out—to the casino operators and their financing schemes (‘I made a lot of money in Atlantic City,’ Donald Trump said at the recent Republican debate. ‘And I’m very proud of it’).” Are there local spin-offs? Rupert had high hopes for cruise ships, but like cruise ships, casinos may want to keep the patron’s money inside. “Casinos […] are designed to keep patrons inside losing money rather than outside spending it.” By 2014, “at one end of the boardwalk, Revel loomed dark. On the façade of one closed casino there was the ghost lettering of the sign that once spelled out “Trump Plaza” and, beneath it, a billboard that read “The Center of It All.” (The small print read “Gambling Problem? Call 1-800-GAMBLER”—advice, maybe, for the city itself.)”

OPINION
A sound investment in children is needed An open letter to:
The leaders of the federal political parties: If your party forms our next government we would strongly urge you to make the eradication of child poverty a greater priority in budget allocations and program emphasis. We are asking that you implement a comprehensive plan to eliminate child poverty. As well, we urge you to protect and further the gains made against child poverty by raising the National Child Benefit Supplement. As members of The United Church of Canada, we are alarmed at the high rate of child poverty in this affluent country, especially among racialized and aboriginal populations. Across the country and across our church the effects of poverty are plain to see: food banks continue to proliferate; homeless persons beg on our city streets; out-
Robert Hart of-the-cold programs are overflowing; many racialized indigenous people live in conditions unimaginable for a wealthy nation like ours. As Christians, we believe that all people have the right to be treated with justice, love, and respect. We also believe that it is the right of all people to have adequate access to the resources necessary for a full life, including adequate security provisions and the ability to
participate in the life of their community. Children, especially, are the most vulnerable in our society and yet hold the most promise as future citizens, workers, and family members. As a resource rich nation, Canada has an obligation to care for all people, ensuring that basic needs are met. UNICEF’s Report Card 11: Measuring Child Poverty put Canada 17th of 29 industrialized nations with a 14 percent rate of child poverty. This is a sad reality when so much emphasis in our country has been put on economic growth. We therefore urge you to protect and further the gains made against child poverty by: - Establishing measurable and attainable goals to reduce child poverty - Raising the maximum federal child tax benefit (including the supplement for low-
income families) to $5,600 per child for low-income families - Increasing child welfare support given to indigenous people to balance that given to others; child welfare support to First Nations agencies is 22 per cent less per capita - Initiating and investing in an affordable, accessible, quality childcare system as a way to support low-income families - Increasing federal subsidies for affordable housing We would encourage your government to act before the costs of child poverty become more of a social and economic drain than they already are. An investment in children is a financially, educationally, and socially sound investment by society. Robert Hart, for the Outreach, Peace and Justice Committee, Knox United Church, Terrace, B.C.

Resource sharing still being pursued Tyers did note that when Oakes was the minister responsible for local governments, her mandate included specific references to LNG development and the northwest. That isn’t included in Fassbender’s marching orders as the new
minister responsible for local governments, she said. “He’s going to need to convince cabinet and the premier that
he needs a mandate to work on this. We’re hoping that he is willing to do that but no commitments were made. He’s not in a position

where he can make commitments,” said Tyers. And although Premier Christy Clark has referred to a rural divi-
dend for all rural areas of B.C., Tyers said that won’t specifically address the needs of the northwest. Clark, in speaking
last month to a convention of local governments from around the province, said her rural dividend program would focus on com-
munities of smaller than 25,000 people. One of the main goals would be to help them diversify their economies, she said.

TERRACE RCMP report that a white Cadillac Escalade jumped a curb as its driver evaded stopping. The incident took place last week when officers attempted to stop the vehicle in the Kondola’s parking lot. “The vehicle was located in the Walmart parking lot. The occupants had fled. One man was located and arrested,” the police report into the incident indicated. In another incident, police reported that on the evening of Oct. 6, they received a call about adult men in a grey SUV or van who threw cups of water at a group of homeless people downtown. Half an hour later a second call was received of a young teen boy and his friends having cups of water thrown at them while walking on Sparks St., same vehicle description. Checks of the area were done. Investigation ongoing.

Vigil to mark 20 years since teen disappeared THE FAMILY of a 19-year-old teen who went missing here in Oct. 1995 is holding a vigil Oct. 17 to mark the 20th anniversary of her disappearance. Lana Derrick, a Northwest Community College forestry student attending school in Houston, B.C. was in Terrace visiting her mother when she was last seen outside of a convenience store in Thornhill the early morning hours of Oct. 7, 1995. An extensive search by police, with fam-
ily and friends subsequently joining in along Hwy16, failed to find any trace of her in the first days after she was reported missing. Derrick became one of the earliest missing aboriginal women to be placed on the Highway of Tears list. In early 1996 police issued two composite drawings of two men in hopes of finding them and the car in which they were traveling. That followed a hypnosis session with a woman who was reported as being the last
person to see Derrick. The woman, who was sitting in a car outside the Thornhill Copperside store, said she saw Derrick enter the store, then leave and get into a car which had two men in the front seat. Then they drove away. The vigil begins at 7 p.m. behind the Copperside Petro-Can in Thornhill, near the location where she was last seen. Family members of Derrick have for years been involved in vigils and walks intended to highlight the numbers

Dementia Dialogues
Security bill clash “It keeps the country safe,” he added of the bill. “This has to do with terrorists’ acts, these people [NDP] have never voted for one security measure in the history of that party, Liberals are more measured on those things, and that’s where we have a lot more in common. They [NDP] have never voted for security legislation.” Nesbitt finished off by saying that the NDP “will come clamouring to us when something happens and there is a terrorist at your doorstep.” Liberal candidate Brad Layton distanced himself from Nesbitt, saying that he only agreed with one thing
the Conservative had said on the matter, and that was that “there is some misinformation.” He also defended the Liberal party decision to vote in favour of the bill in parliament. “It was passing anyway, there was no way we could stop it,” he said. “We needed to get a voice into it, to get those four amendments. We wanted 10, and we got four. But to just vote straight against it? It’s passing. It’s a majority government.” Don Spratt from the Christian Heritage Party, an anti-abortion activist arrested and charged several times over the years for activities within “bubble zones” around abortion
clinics, said he was told by a “reliable source” that CSIS has in the past been listening to his phone conversations. “I don’t know if it was true or not, but it was pretty reliable and I am 80 per cent sure it was happening,” he said. The Bill C-51 exchange was touched off by audience member Grace Thompson who asked Nesbitt how he could “reconcile your personal stance that it is unfair to expect citizens to fill out a long form census with the Conservative government stance that freedom should take a back seat to security and we should expect to see warrantless searches.”

LNG sparks
But Nesbitt said Norway also has high taxes and that its energy revenues come from offshore oil development, something he said the NDP would never support. “I want to be known after four years of doing this as having brought benefits for people,” said Nesbitt of his election bid. The best way to deal with climate change, he argued, is to turn countries away from burning coal in favour of LNG. Liberal candidate Brad Layton said he understood there were five locations under consideration by Pacific NorthWest LNG. “Where are the other four?” he asked, saying there needed to be more transparency in releasing environmental reviews. “How are we to know when the assessment is good?” he asked. Layton also said he didn’t think Cullen answered the question as to whether he supported LNG development. Christian Heritage Party candidate Don Spratt said he supports LNG and thinks it is important to place plants in locations to reduce casualties should one explode.

NEWS
Differing versions given leading to teen’s murder DAMIEN TAYLOR, standing trial in Kamloops supreme court charged with the second-degree murder of his girlfriend C.J. Fowler, testified last week, revealing three versions of the events leading up to the 16-year-old’s death there in December 2012. Fowler, from the Hazeltons and living in Terrace at the time of her death, had traveled to Kamloops with Taylor. The 24-year-old man is asking a jury to believe he awoke to see his girlfriend dead on the grass and that he fled in panic after seeing a car approaching. The first version was told to Prince George RCMP, who treated him as a witness after meeting him at the Greyhound bus depot there hours after Fowler’s body was discovered. He said he lost Fowler at the hospital when they had gone there after Fowler complained of chest pains she believed were the result of using crystal meth, possibly tainted with another drug. The couple was told she was pregnant, news an emergency physician said Taylor and Fowler appeared to welcome. It was the second time she became pregnant as she had miscarried only three months before. After they became separated, Taylor decided to go to the Greyhound depot in Kamloops, expecting she would arrive later. His second story was told in Kelowna, where he was arrested 13 months after Fowler’s death. Taylor told RCMP he had killed Fowler by accident. That admission came following hours of questioning by police and after Fowler’s stepfather — whom Taylor called “poppa” — was brought into the interview room. In that police interview in January 2014, Taylor said he was trying to “scare her in a funny way” and cut her throat. “She was bleeding out of her throat,” he said in the police interview. Taylor also told police he used “the boulders that were there” to end her suffering. But, that account — which Taylor now claimed is false — doesn’t fit with the facts of her death. A pathologist testified Fowler died from asphyxiation, likely from a blow to her face and jaw from the concrete block found on her chest. Her throat was not slashed. “I was forced to make a false confession,” Taylor said on the witness stand. Taylor also admitted — after being shown video of the couple outside the hospital — that his first account to police, in which he said he lost Fowler at the hospital, was also a lie. He testified he lied because he was worried they would know he was high on

C.J. FOWLER was killed in Kamloops in December 2012. crystal meth and would search his backpack for drugs. Taylor testified during questioning from his lawyer and under cross-examination by Crown that the week before Fowler’s death was consumed by selling and taking drugs, including cocaine, crystal meth and heroin. He said the pair ate and slept little. During cross-examination, Taylor often responded, “I don’t remember.” When he was first intercepted by police in Prince George, Taylor wasn’t told by police his girlfriend was dead until he was in the interview room — news he responded to by sobbing and blurting out, “No way — what happened?” That video was played in court. On the witness stand, however, Taylor initially insisted police told him first at the bus station that Fowler was murdered. After that inconsistency with the video was pointed out by Crown, Taylor said police told him at the bus station that Fowler was dead. In the most recent version of events — the events the jury is now asked to believe — Taylor recounted being outside the hospital with Fowler, watching for anyone looking for them due to earlier threats. Crown noted in cross-examination that apparent wariness came despite the fact the pair was offered a room in the hospital overnight. The two walked up the street toward the Greyhound depot in the early-morning hours of Dec. 5, 2012. Before they departed, Taylor said, he smoked more crystal meth and heroin. His next memory is of waking up and seeing Fowler on the ground, taking her pulse and finding her dead.
He said he ran after seeing a red car. He said he changed clothes in order to run faster, eventually arriving at the Greyhound station, where he took the bus north to Prince George hours later. Video taken from the Greyhound depot in Kamloops showed Taylor sitting with his back to the door, doing little but looking in his backpack. That activity — what Crown said appears to be Taylor acting in “absolutely normal fashion” — contrasts Taylor’s account of hallucinating and running from what he believed were his pursuers after waking up to find his 16-year-old girlfriend dead on the ground on Dec. 5, 2012. Crown noted Taylor showed no obvious twitches and was not appearing hyperactive, classic physical symptoms of crystal meth intoxication. But, a forensic psychologist who examined Taylor and who testified for the defence, said that, despite his unperturbed demeanour, Taylor may have been psychotic from days of crystal meth use and lack of sleep, saying that “even people who are psychotic can appear calm.” The forensic psychologist added neither the Greyhound video, nor video taken at hospital three hours earlier— when the pair was last seen together — show Taylor’s psychosis or lack thereof as it “would not prove or disprove that.” The forensic psychologist also testified that Taylor said he was hearing voices during the first interview, an attempt to fake symptoms of mental illness, but his accounts of hearing voices during crystal meth use is believable. The trial is scheduled to continue for a third week. (With files from Kamloops This Week.)

GOALTENDER PATRICK Leal had an excellent game at the Terrace Sportsplex Oct. 3, where the River Kings beat the Smithers Steelheads 2-1. Coach Robert Findlay says there was a good turnout at the first home game and the team really appreciates the fan support.
River Kings begin season with win, loss By JACKIE LIEUWEN TERRACE RIVER Kings kicked off the season with one win and one loss the weekend of Oct. 2-3 against the Smithers Steelheads. They lost 4-5 to the Steelheads in Smithers on Oct. 2, but turned it around on home ice the next day with a 2-1 win. Coach Robert Findlay says he would have liked two wins, but the team had to gel and build compatibility on the Friday, as it was only the fifth time they had been on the ice together.
“Terrace has a lot of new, young guys out. We’ve lost quite a few of the old group,” said Findlay. New to the team are Junior Ayotte from Quebec and Terrace minor hockey graduates Liam Albright, Colton Braid, Jarrett Harrison, Dion Johnston, Kenny Nordstrom, Noah Tokarchuk, Austin Turner. “All these new players [were] just getting used to each other. We had some bad passes [on Friday],” said Findlay. “On the Saturday game, they smartened up on that and got more used to playing with
each other.” Findlay says goaltender Patrick Leal had an excellent game Saturday, and played really well. In the 4-5 loss on Friday, Terrace goal scorers were Chapen Leblond in the first period, Ken Nordstom and Cory Dekelver in the second, and Cory again in the third. In the 2-1 win on Saturday, Chapen Leblond scored in the first and Cory Dekelver in the second. Close to 630 people lined the stands in Terrace Saturday and Findlay says they re-
ally appreciate the fan support. “That really makes a difference for the team if they see people coming out and enjoying the hockey that we are trying to put on for them,” he said. Looking ahead to the rest of the season, Findlay says things are looking good. The team really gelled on Saturday and the players seem really committed to practices, he said. “We’ve got a good group of boys. We’re going to work hard, and we should have a pretty successful year this year.”
New glow in the dark fun run to engage families By JACKIE LIEUWEN GLOW STICKS will array costumed runners at the first annual Glow in the Dark Fun Run October 17. “There isn’t a lot of fun races offered in Terrace that the community as a whole can participate in,” said organizer Kristine Ewald. With glow sticks and Halloween costumes, they hope to draw together people who do not normally run together.
As of last Wednesday, 136 singles and 27 families were registered for the event. It is a “way to get the community active,” said Ewald. Ewald is the co-owner of Transcend Fitness, a new women’s-only gym, that is organizing the race. The fun run will start at the track at Skeena Middle School. It will kick off with a one kilometre race around the track at 7 p.m., which is open for all ages, but focused on children
and families. Strollers are welcome. A five kilometre race will start at 7:30 p.m. and will lead people around the neighbourhood, decked out in glow gear and guided by volunteers. More about family and participation, prizes will be given for the best individual costume and best group costume. To register or for more information find “Glow in the Dark Fun Run” on Facebook or email terracetranscendfitness@gmail.com. Last minute registration opens at 6 p.m.

Youth soccer wraps up season By JACKIE LIEUWEN PITA PIT clinched the title after three wins by penalty kicks in the 11/12 boys soccer finals in the Terrace Youth Soccer Association. Beat by Uplands Kennels in the second game of the series, the boys fought their way through three extra games to make finals, said coach Andrea Komlos. Facing Uplands Kennels again in the finals, the clock ran out 1-1 and Pita Pit won by penalty kicks. “The boys played really hard,” said Komlos. The Terrace Youth Soccer
O
Association wrapped up a successful season mid-September, with about 70 teams kicking their final game ball at Christy Park. TYSA Director Blaine Kluss says participation was on par with last year with between 825 and 850 children and youths ages 5 to 18. Early-season had a few minor glitches, with technical issues delaying registration and uniforms coming in late, but overall the season ran smooth, said Kluss. “We think we’ve got a backup plan for next year should this ever occur again,” Kluss said of the technical issues.
n Monday, Bob Clay phoned to say that he was driving his wife Kathy to the airport and thought he might use the opportunity to wet a line on the Copper. He’d heard from an acquaintance who had been here recently that the steelhead angling on the river, and on the Skeena, had been hot. Was l willing and able to go? he asked. I told Bob that his friend’s estimate of the fishing differed greatly from the many accounts I’d heard from trustworthy sources and from the results of the test fishery at Tyee, but I’d be happy to take him out the Zymoetz or the Skeena as I always enjoy spending time on the water with him. Bob, the Patriarch of the Clay clan, the fishingest family anywhere, was a guide on the Kispiox and Skeena for over two decades, where he made many connections with anglers from all over the globe. Those contacts and ones he made as a bamboo rod builder of international renown, have taken Bob to Scotland to fish the Spey, to the East Coast where he has fished the famous salmon rivers of New Brunswick, Quebec, and Nova Scotia. He has sampled salmon angling in Russia. Closer to home, he has made numerous trips down the Dean River, floated and fished the Babine; chased steelhead on the Sustut; explored tributaries of the upper Skeena and Nass; caught steelhead on Haida G’waii. I thought Bob had caught steelhead on
This year was the first that TYSA had a new jersey system, with players buying a jersey to keep, rather than the team re-collecting them each year. “Collecting and always having a pile of uniforms missing every year was causing problems,” Kluss said, adding that even with a $20 deposit, 25 percent of jerseys were not being returned. This new system is more smooth, and Kluss says the association buys jerseys in bulk so they are affordable for families. The league’s big struggle is finding coaches.
When the season was kicking off, they were still short eight coaches, Kluss said, adding that coaches did step up eventually. He acknowledges that volunteers are an issue for organizations across the board, but it is unfortunate because coaches wind up being unqualified and get burnt out. “Lack of coaches is always a major issue, we’ve isolated it as our biggest issue by far,” he said. Looking ahead to next year, Kluss says they plan a coaching clinic in January or February. They also hope to host a few more home games.

Zymoetz
that most of the vehicles we passed had BC plates and drew a comparison with the Kispiox where the fastest growing segment of the angling population seems to be anglers from other parts of BC many of whom are floating from pool to run to pool fishing drift rods and rubber worms in an attempt to catch as many steelhead as possible. The architecture of the Copper reminded Bob of the Dean, the major difference being access. At the end of our day, he observed that the pressure on the Dean had been slowed and controlled and its angling quality maintained by going to a lottery/ reservation system for the fastest growing sector of that river’s sport fishery, non-resident aliens. Such a solution is possible for the Copper, he thought, especially in the Age of the Internet, but to be a success it would have to be controlled similar to the way Economic Control Zones are managed on some rivers in Quebec. That is, after the carrying capacity of the river is determined, each component of the sports fishery is issued a license quota for each day. These licenses are awarded on a first come, first served basis until the carrying capacity is reached. Another option, he suggested, might be to identify the best fishing water and put that up to a limited entry draw similar to that hunters have been using for a couple of decades now.

She slowly moves to his back and feels along his spine with such a fine touch, it’s difficult to detect that she’s doing anything besides giving hands-on pressure. But she makes corrections as she goes. “Getting a horse regularly worked on can keep them healthy, happy and ready for their job,� she says, adding she works on lots of horses who are sore, stiff or lame and many horses can benefit from chiropractic and massage. Horse owners will notice behavioural changes, refusals or an inability to respond to commands as the horse normally would if it’s not feeling well, she says. Sheila McIsaac brought Kosh in to see Jellett and said she no-

KOSH, A 21-year-old small Arabian, gets some hands-on help for his sore neck from equine lameness practitioner Janeen Jellett. ticed he was shaking his head like he wanted to crack it so she could tell it was bothering him. Horses are susceptible to skeletal problems and besides putting themselves out
when they are in a herd, pasture or more natural setting, once you add a rider and a job, it adds more potential for problems, says Jellett. Sometimes muscles and joints get strained,
she adds. Jellett, who’s from Houston, works on horses in the northwest, down south and in northern and southern Alberta. A few of her clients are dogs and cats too.
Low cost education at risk COMMUNITY COLLEGES such as Northwest Community College are at risk of not being able to do what they can do best, which is to provide lower cost post-secondary courses leading to degrees, says the president of a provincial association of college instructors. George Davison of the Federation of Post-Secondary Educators of BC said the model of students from smaller B.C. towns being able to stay at home and take the first two years of courses and then transfer to degree-granting institutions is threatened by budget cuts. “To put barriers in at the ground level doesn’t appear to make much sense,� he said. “It’s a system that worked and we need to look at that model.� And unlike universities where the emphasis of professors is on research, community college instructors spend most of their time in classrooms, Davison added. “Class sizes are smaller and there’s a better connection between instructors and students. The beauty of it is that students get a very good edu-
cation and obtain higher grade point averages,� he said. “But what we’re seeing now is less access,� Davison added. He was also critical of a provincial government shift in how it finances adult basic education programs, considered the first step toward post-secondary courses and trades programs, at community colleges. This year the province replaced a system in which colleges received money directly for adult basic education so that there was no tuition to one where students need to apply for grants themselves to cover newly-introduced tuition fees. “But when students see costs, they’re going to say they can’t afford it so they they’re not going,� said Davison. The Federation of Post-Secondary Educators of BC speaks for 22 faculty associations or unions at mostly college-level institutions across the province. Northwest Community College instructors and others are represented by the Academic Workers’ Union which is also a local of the Canadian Union of Public Employees.
