Permit values top $50M

TWO CONSTRUCTION projects this month have pushed the value of Terrace building permits issued to date to more than $50 million, a 10-year record. One is the first phase of a large multifamily residential development on the bench now breaking ground and the other is an addition and renovation of a business on Park Ave. downtown. Seven townhomes in two duplexes and one triplex now under construction by Vancouver developer SwissReal carry a value of $1.4 million while an expansion to Park Ave. Optometry has a value of $1 million. The permit value of more than $50 million is more than double last year’s total for the same time period and triple the 10-year average of just under $16 million. The next closest value year to date was in 2008 when more than $23 million in permits had been issued. The SwissReal bench multi-residential development on the 5100 Block of McConnell is called Terrace Heights, which will consist of 35 townhomes on 2.7 acres when fully built out. It will be the largest multi-family residential development of its kind in the history of the city so far, edging out Sleeping Beauty Estates on the 4700 Block of Davis which has 28 units either finished or under construction. Jeremy Towning from Vancouver-based developer SwissReal said strata development Terrace Heights is the first of what he expects will be a number of company construction projects in Terrace and area. “Terrace just has such a nice community feel,” said Towning. “It’s someplace we want to be for the next 20 years.” Its central geographical location within the region, making the city and immediate area a hub for services and activities also contributed to the decision to build here, he added. “We feel the market is the most sustainable. Terrace has had its booms and busts but not as extreme,” Towning said. SwissReal was first attracted to the area by the prospect of a regional liquefied natural gas industry and purchased the Terrace Heights property earlier this year. Each of the Terrace Heights townhomes will have three bedrooms carrying a price tag of approximately $400,000.

CENTENNIAL CHRISTIAN School principal Edgar Veldman and students Max Perkins, Nate Menz and Ben Carter plant some of the tulips at the tulip planting ceremony Oct. 16 at Heritage Park Museum.

Thank-you, Terrace!

By MARGARET SPEIRS SEVENTY YEARS after the liberation of the Netherlands by Canadian soldiers and after the Dutch government thanked Canada with the gift of 100,000 tulip bulbs, Terrace celebrated with the planting of 700 tulip bulbs that are part of the 70th anniversary Dutch-Canadian Friendship Tulip Garden, one of 140 gardens distributed across the country. The red and white bulbs were planted out front of the gates to Heritage Park Museum Oct. 16 with many residents, students and dignitaries in attendance. Students and residents lined up to plant a bulb in holes already laid out in a repeating red and white pattern by Eric Lennert, the city gardener, who is also credited with sending in the application for Terrace to be one of the recipients of the tulip bulbs. Bill McRae, city freeman and one of the soldiers who landed on the shores of Normandy in 1944 and who later helped to free the Dutch in 1945, said the people there had a tough time after the war. With service medals affixed to a dark blue sport coat, McRae sat in the front row of the audience, learning during the celebration that both of his great-grandddaughters, Thayna and Zyah Healey, were two of the winners of a Heritage Park contest

for their drawings depicting the relationship between Holland and Canada. On behalf of the Dutch community in Terrace, Joe Vanderkwaak spoke of remembering the liberation of his homeland. “I distinctly remember standing along a road in my hometown, on a sunny May morning, waving and cheering as the Canadian forces drove by in an impromptu parade,” he said, adding he came to Terrace in 1953. Many Dutch people left the war-torn country afterward for other countries to build new lives, said Vanderkwaak. The ones who came to Terrace did so via contacts with the Christian Reformed Church of North America and in 1952, the denomination formed the current congregation, he said. Many residents are descendents of these immigrants and Dutch names continue to flourish here, such as Van Heek, Mantel, Onstein, DeJong, Talstra, Vandevelde, Braam and many others, he added. All of these Dutch immigrants shared the same feelings of immense love for, and gratitude to, the Canadian soldiers who sacrificed so much to liberate the Netherlands, said Vanderkwaak. “Guys like Bill [McRae] here can never do wrong as far as a Dutchman is concerned. For over 70 years, they have been, and still are, our heroes,” he said.

City backs sign move

JACKIE LIEUWEN PHOTO

■■ New office SHIRLEY REIMER, left, from the Ministry of Children and Families and Shirley Morven from Nisga’a Lisims Government, right, cut a ribbon Oct. 16 as part of an event to mark the opening of new offices for Nisga’a Child and Family Services. The Lisims agency has moved to a Lazelle Avenue location from one on Lakelse Avenue.

THE CITY says it was right to remove signs advertising a new housing development and it didn’t have to notify the business first. “The signs were put up without the owner making enquiry and were in contravention of the sign bylaw. We will try to contact an owner or business but our bylaw officer is authorized to remove something like this and then contact or notify the owner later. Since these were placed on municipal city-owned park property we, like any land owner, have the right to remove first,” said city planner David Block. The signs belong to Deep Creek Masonry, the developer of a housing project called Sleeping Beauty Estates. It placed advertising sales signs around town but the signs disappeared. The city then wrote them a letter explaining they had been in violation of the sign bylaw that stipulates temporary signs containing advertisements are only allowed on the property for which they are

advertising and not on public or other right-ofways. Goddard said a sign bylaw change was needed and that residents should be allowed to promote new construction, new businesses and advertise freely. Another business had put up signs where it wasn’t allowed but with different results, said Block. Its staff had placed a similar sign and the bylaw officer was able to contact them and they promptly removed the sign, he said. “In this case, we removed signs Ms. Goddard had placed in road dedication as well as on park property. All locations violated the sign bylaw,” said Block. Goddard had said that there was a double standard since other signs could be placed on public property, such as election signs. Block disagreed, saying there is no logical comparison between commercial business advertising and election signs. “The bylaw permits candidates to apply for

a permit and place a limited number of election signs along public roads,” he said, adding that the bylaw allows election signs on the Grand Trunk Pathway. “There is no way staff would recommend commercial advertising be allowed on public property. We are working on revisions to the sign bylaw to bring to council soon. We will be recommending tightened up provisions to limit election signage on public park property in the future,” said Block.

Build permit values soar “We’re just now working out the final costs,” said Towning. SwissReal had planned an earlier start but there were delays in securing constructionrelated bids, he added. “It would have been too risky. The weather is also a factor,” explained Towning as to why SwissReal is starting with seven units. He said construction of the remaining townhomes will start next spring. The Park Ave. Optometry construction project also represents a business purchase involving Terrace Vision Care. Dr. Rebecca Counts from Terrace Vision Care says she and Dr. Stephanie Pietralla, who is already at Park Ave. Optometry, purchased the business from Dr. Harry Murphy. The Progressive Ventures construction project underway right beside the Park Ave. building will more than double the size of the location’s footprint.

“And there will also be a new exterior. You won’t recognize it when finished,” said Counts of the project. The existing Park Ave. building will be joined to the new construction and is to be renovated as part of the new construction. Counts said the combined business will also have a new name, one that has yet to be chosen. And when the project is finished, Terrace Vision Care will leave its current Lazelle Ave. location. In terms of commercial construction building permit values this year, the Sunshine Inn development adjacent to city hall tops the list at $15.041 million followed by a warehouse expansion at Bandstra Transportation amounting to $1.3 million, the Great Canadian Oil Change project at $709,000 and a $200,00 project for the Andrew Sheret plumbing and heating business.

Nisga’a leader was only seven when sent away

LIKE MANY aboriginal children of his generation, Joe Gosnell, the Nisga’a leader who steered the Nisga’a Nation toward its 2000 land claims treaty with the federal and provincial governments, was sent to a residential school. Thanks to the federal government’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission, the residential school system has been exposed as a deliberate attempt to obliterate indigenous cultures by breaking the connection between aboriginal children and their heritage. But Gosnell recalls another far more nuanced story of his years at St. Michael’s Residential School in Alert Bay, as described in the book “Spirit Dance at Meziadin” by Alex Rose.

s a boy, Gosnell played in the long grass along the Nass River’s banks and he and his friends paddled the river’s complicated tides and whirling currents. In those days, long before the road was built from Terrace, the river was the highway to the Nisga’a villages, serving both as an obstacle to posterity and a geographical line of defence against further incursions by white settler society. When he was seven years old, the government intervened in Joseph’s life in dramatic fashion: the local Indian Agent decreed that all Nisga’a children were to be sent away to a church-run residential school. In 1943, Gosnell was one of 15 Nisga’a children lined up to board a steamship idling at the wharf at Inverness Cannery near present day Prince Rupert. His mother stood by weeping. “As I stood on the dock with my brother Ben, my mother kept saying to us in Nisga’a – we didn’t know any English then – ‘You are going away to learn, to learn and to be educated.’”

GARY FIEGEHEN PHOTO

JOE GOSNELL in front of the provincial legislature in Victoria.

After a two-day sea voyage, with stops at Klemtu and River’s Inlet to pick up more aboriginal children, the steamship arrived at St. Michael’s Residential School (Anglican), a foreboding structure in Alert Bay on Cormorant Island north of Campbell River. For the next six years, Gosnell survived a harsh discipline. Although he neither experienced, nor heard, of the sexual abuse and physical brutality that has since been exposed in many other residential schools, his experience wasn’t easy. “That was a rough life. The discipline was extremely hard. Oh, well do I know the taste of soap,” Gosnell says, recalling the Anglican brothers washing his mouth out

with soap for speaking Nisga’a. “Every night you could hear children crying in the dormitories.” Forbidden to speak their own language, the Nisga’a children whispered secretly to each other in Nisga’a. But over time English become the common language. Like many aboriginal people of his generation, Gosnell recalls always being hungry. “We never had enough to eat and we had to eat the food that was placed before us, whether we liked it or not.” Despite the suppression of his language and culture, always running through his dreams in the prison-like building so far from home was the great, dark Nass River, from which

his people draw their very identity – the first schools of oolichan in spring and the silver flash of the first coho salmon as they enter the river. “I’ve been to the headwaters of the Nass,” he will say today. “At Lake Meziadin the water is so clear you can see 400 feet down into the lake.” Though vivid, the memories of his homeland were not enough to sustain him against a government determined to “enlighten” him in European ways. On his return from residential school — his Grade 5 certificate in his back pocket — Gosnell returned to his village without a history. He had to be de-programmed, working hard to re-learn the Nisga’a language and re-discov-

ering who he was. Today, the 65-yearold Gosnell doesn’t blame his parents for sending him away. “Like all Nisga’a parents they faced incredible psychological intimidation to conform. They were ordered by the Indian Agent to send us away, part of the assimilation policy. On the contrary, I thank them for what they did for me, instilled in me the importance of the culture that we maintain today. My mother always said, ‘Don’t ever forget our language.’” Over the years, Gosnell has been able to reflect on the impact of the residential schools, an impact still felt throughout Nisga’a communities today. He has never once considered a lawsuit against

the church or the federal government. “I wouldn’t want to put my children through the same thing — never in a thousand years. When I first arrived at St. Michael’s, I didn’t know a word of English, not even a yes or a no. When I came out of there after six years, I had almost forgotten my own language. We were little kids; we didn’t even know we were Indians then. We watched so many cowboy and Indian movies and we always rooted for the guys with the ten-gallon hats. It explains to some extent the dysfunctional nature of some of our people. When you are taken away from your parents at a young stage, removed from a closely knit family and placed in a completely

alien atmosphere, you lose an important sense of parental guidance. I see that happening today and it is like a sickness passed from one generation to the next. Very few people recognize that. It explains the depression you see in the faces of the people, the alcoholism, and now the drugs.” Gosnell doesn’t hold a grudge against a schooling system that wrenched him from his family because it became one of the defining moments of his life. He did, after all, learn to read and write the English language and counted among his classmates a generation of men who would one day become leaders in the struggle for aboriginal rights. The friendships he forged then against a common enemy would translate into political support. “Whenever the tribal groups from across the province meet, I greet my friends from those days,” Gosnell says. “It taught me discipline. It put backbone in my spine. I walked away from that and I knew I could stand up to anything.” He also met his wife Adele there – she had arrived from the Nass on a later steamship – watching her across the strictly segregated playground. In May, 1999 both returned to visit St. Michael’s for a reunion to mark its construction 100 years ago. Va n c o u v e r- b a s e d media relations specialist Alex Rose worked closely with the Nisga’a in explaining the controversial 2000 Nisga’a Final Agreement to the public. Also an author, Rose has written five nonfiction books, one of which is “Spirit Dance at Meziadin,” an insider’s look behind the scenes of the Nisga’a Final Agreement from which the above feature is taken. ◆ ◆ ◆ Photographer Gary Fiegehen is also from Vancouver and many of his photos have appeared in publications concerning the Nisga’a and the Nass Valley.

EDITORIAL

Shelter BEST wishes to Terrace city council for taking the first steps to dealing with the issue of homelessness within its boundaries. Although housing is a provincial matter under the general structure of overall government responsibilities, city council members are at least doing the right thing in seeking a solution. Whether that “right thing” will bear any fruit is an obvious question to ask given that city council neither has the budget nor the people to provide housing for those now sleeping in the rough. But what city councils can do is exercise, if done properly, a certain amount of polite arm-twisting and powers of persuasion to get the right people together at the right time who can have an influence as to what might be possible. On a large field just beside Hwy16 and before the Kalum River Bridge sits a considerable number of modular housing units, mostly likely last used at a construction camp and parked in readiness for a pending large-scale industrial project. Could a city-sponsored group, again making the right approach to the right people, find a way to “borrow” a few of these units even for the cold winter months now approaching? That raises the matter of where to put them and how to provide water, sewer and power. But creative people in common cause can surely find a way.

No onions on my burgers, please

ackie Kennedy, wife of American president John F. Kennedy, kept a social diary in which she recorded the guest list of her dinner parties, kept track of who she seated next to each other, and the dishes she served. I wonder if she also made a note of which foods each guest preferred and which they absolutely refused to taste? I was raised in a farm family of six kids (one was a foster child), so Mom didn’t cook special for any one of us though she was open to suggestions well ahead of time. Whatever Mom cooked we ate, usually with gusto, often going back for seconds. She was an excellent though “plain” cook, as homemakers of the time were known. If we had a favourite dish, it was sure to show up on the table occasionally.

THROUGH BIFOCALS

CLAUDETTE SANDECKI Each succeeding visit helps me refine and customize a guest’s preferences. One guest avoids meat, particularly ham in any guise, but enjoys hamburgers or frankfurters. Whipped mashed potatoes are out; her mashed potatoes must retain a sprinkling of lumps. She also refuses foods with an incompatible texture, a trait shared by several other relatives of different generations. I myself have yet to taste a milkshake, or hummus (it’s name alone repels me), and was into my 30s before I could face a bowl of Campbell’s tomato soup. Its pink-

ish colour more than its texture bothered me. One guest doesn’t tolerate the look or even the smell of eggs in any form from hard boiled sitting on a counter waiting to be shelled and chopped into a salad, to sunny side up soft enough for toast dipping. He also refuses onions even on a hamburger, all cruciferous vegetables including brussel sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower or broccoli. Tomatoes he will eat if they are under ripe and thinly sliced; ripe, thickly sliced or cubed bans them from his menu. Grapes (not the slip skin variety) please him if they are so crisp they snap like Rice Krispies when bitten into. Once grapes become the teeniest bit soft he allocates them to other family members. All but one of us finds toast more than merely edible, yet just the grating of a knife as it spreads butter banishes toast from one person’s menu. So too celery. Like Monty Python’s John Cleese, this person rates celery as unfit for human consumption. And though he munches

S TANDARD

cookies (except brownies), and has a fondness for cakes, he won’t touch pie regardless of its filling. Then there’s my one and only vegetarian visitor. At first an impending visit from her would send me to the deli to stock up on vegetarian main dishes so I could feed her properly. After several visits I was able to modify my menus to satisfy her palate without buying foods foreign to me only to be left with half a fridge full to use up once she had gone. She eats a variety of foods that I, too, like and keep in stock: cheeses, eggs cooked almost any style, salmon (fresh or smoked) and tuna, beans and rice served in a variety of ways. Mom’s table always offered a plate of buns or sliced bread; in the pantry there was peanut butter and a variety of jams. If she served a main dish we weren’t fond of, we could substitute a sandwich of our own making without hurting her feelings or causing a fuss. Claudette Sandecki keeps careful track of menu preferences in Thornhill, B.C.

CONTRIBUTED PHOTO

AMERICAN ANGLER Bill Schneider questions the fishing fees applying to visitors from afar.

Perhaps we’re not hospitable

Dear Sir: I confess to being a lowly, “non-resident alien” angler (as defined by B.C. fishing regulations) who comes to B.C. twice a year to fly fish for steelhead, spending several thousands of dollars each year. If I were a Syrian refugee, I’d be welcomed and steered toward equality, at considerable

expense to Canadian taxpayers, but as a fisherman from our close neighbor, Montana, I’m scorned and treated like an invasive species, even though I contribute significantly to the B.C. economy. In many hours of listening to CBC and reading local papers, I’ve often noted how proud Canadians are of their

core values such as fairness, equality and non-discrimination. When it comes to fishing regulations, however, those values seem hilarious, if not hypocritical. The expense is one issue, but not the most important. Here in Montana, we welcome all anglers to enjoy our world-famous trout fishing.

B.C. resident anglers pay only (US) $70 per year, including unrestricted days on our “classified” rivers (called “blue ribbon rivers” here). All nonresidents (from other US states or foreign countries) can fish 365 days per year with no extra fees or restrictions.

Cont’d Page A8

Dear Sir: It came out of The Terrace Standard/Terrace and District Chamber of Commerce all candidates debate Oct. 6 that Chinese interests are moving in on B.C.’s mining industry. Christian Heritage Party candidate Don Spratt referred to housing being built in Tumbler Ridge for a number of Chinese temporary foreign workers being brought in to work at a coal mine there. Here’s why: Back in the days when Gerry King ran the anti-poverty office here, I was up there looking at Maud Barlow’s Council of Canadians newsletters [donated by the teachers’ union] and Gerry told me to take a few home, read them and return them. I did so and one item said that any World Trade Organization (WTO) country could come into any other signature country, exploit its resources with their own workforce and leave behind an environmental mess for the host country to clean up. Like my personal issue of global warming in 1984, all I got was mockers and scoffers when I told people about the WTO bovine scatology. Nowadays when I tell (often the same) people about the WTO’s rules of exploitation they say they never heard about it. The Liberals signed the deal that gave Canada away and the Conservatives went along for the ride. The NDP, as Michael Farrar said in his Oct. 14 letter to the editor, have done nothing to enhance the Canadian economy, jobs, or our well-being. A pox upon all three. What’s really interesting is good old Canadians are too busy talking like beavers to act like wolverines. If you’ve ever seen the X-Men, you know what I’m talking about. The other name for globalism’s WTO is: Dr. Doom! We are on the freeway to Holocaust. Brian Gregg, Terrace, B.C.

Was this election really about democracy?

ith the election over and the voters’ decision made, it is a good time to reflect on the experience of this election with a view to the future of our democracy. We have heard party leaders campaign for their preferred policies with as much ardour as they denounced their opponents’ policies. Opinion polls suggested that the economy was the leading issue for Canadians, and much of the debate over the past months was focused on this topic. The economy, however, is but one aspect of the common good. It is interwoven with issues such as the environment, security, welfare, money, commodities, immigration, education and more. The campaigns tended to focus on these issues one at a time, without much deliberation about local or regional disparities, and even less attention paid to their interdependence. A democratic government’s overriding responsibility, what-

ever its ideological base, boils down to a question of justice. What is the common good? What are the relative values of its components and their priorities? If justice and fairness to all are the objective, how does a multicultural society such as Canada approach such questions? The essential question of governance for a democracy is not so much a matter of what or whose goods government ought to deal with as it is a question of how to deal with them. How can government pursue the common good with respect and justice for all? Philosophers from Aristotle to Rousseau and Tocqueville have struggled in vain in their search for a satisfactory answer to this question. Finding an answer to this question is at the core of the responsibilities of the person we have just elected. The Parliament of Canada’s website defines the House of Commons as the place “where Members represent constituents’

GUEST COMMENT

ANDRE CARREL views, discuss national issues and call on the government to explain its actions.” It is important that the Members of Parliament (and the citizens who elected them) remember that their duty is not restricted to representing their political party’s views or following their party leader’s instructions. The Dictionary of Canadian Law defines “constituent” to

mean “one entitled to vote in a constituency.” For whom I cast my ballot, or if I bothered to cast a ballot at all, has no relevance insofar as it concerns my Member of Parliament’s responsibility to me. As it concerns my Member of Parliament’s duty, my views are as legitimate as the views of those donors and volunteers who contributed to the success of his election. Concerning a Member of Parliament’s duties and responsibilities, there are a few questions we should have asked of every candidate during the election campaign. If elected, by what process will you ensure that the views you will present in the House of Commons represent the views of your constituents? Are you prepared to cast your vote in opposition to your party, to defy your party’s leader, so as to fairly represent your constituents’ views? With our election system most Members of Parliament are elected by less than half of their con-

stituents. But even if elected by a clear majority, their duty is to represent all their constituents’ views in discussions of national issues and to call on the government to explain its actions. It may require representing positions other than those held by the party with which the Member is affiliated. This is a near impossible task for Members of Parliament. The time has come for us as citizens to discard our ideology-driven political horserace. A decision to build a future founded on democracy’s idea, values, and principles for our nation requires that we develop a political system that will respect all citizens as political equals. We can build this future if we determine to apply the capacities, resources, and institutions needed in this pursuit. We begin by respectfully embracing the principles of democracy. We owe this to future generations. Andre Carrel is a retired public sector administrator living in Terrace, B.C.

From Page A7

Fix needed to angling regs so ‘aliens’ return But when I, a despised “non-resident alien,” come to B.C. for steelhead, it costs me (CAD) $540 to fish 20 days (about what I do each year) on Class II rivers ($400 more for Class I rivers), and I can only fish weekdays. If I were a B.C. resident 65 or older, which I am, I’d pay (CAD) $45 annually to fish steelhead on classified rivers 365 days per year. Now, back to Canadian values, even considering the current lopsided exchange rate, does that sound anywhere near fair and equal treatment? But the money is not even the biggest problem. I’m okay paying a reasonable premium over resident fees. Like most steelheaders, I fish from dawn to dusk. And I move from river to river based on water flow, visibility and fishing success. Yet, I have to buy daily, river-specific, classified permits in advance and have a printed, signed paper copy of the license with me at all times. Note to B.C. residents: try to get a daily, classified licence at 9 p.m. in Small Town, B.C. or on Sunday. Trust me. It’s almost impossible. At the very least, this process is unreasonably cumbersome and inconsiderate. And how unfair and discriminatory is it that

“This is completely counter to those values Canadians hold so dear.” I travel 1,800 kilometres (one way) from Montana for three or four weeks of steelhead fishing, but I have to sit around on the weekends and watch the locals fish? This is insulting, unprecedented discrimination, and completely counter to those values Canadians hold so dear. The good news is this problem seems fairly easy to fix without hurting the “nonresident alien” revenue stream. I suggest these reasonable modifications of regulations: 1. Allow “non-resident aliens” the option of buying an annual classified river licence for a reasonable cost, something like (CAD) $100. This would apply to

all classified rivers, so I wouldn’t have to choose which river to fish in advance. The $20 per day fee can be remain an option for anglers who plan to fish only a few days per year, but the daily fee should also apply to all classified rivers. 2. If the annual classified licence is too big of a pill to swallow, at least stop requiring a signed paper copy of the daily, river-specific classified licences. This would allow me to go online with a laptop or smartphone and pay my $20 anytime during the night for fishing the following day. After checking my signed paper basic licence, Conservation

Officers can go online to make sure I paid for that river. 3. River Guardians have told me the government wants to gather data on how many angler days per river. Okay, no problem, but require we “aliens” to send this information in after we finish fishing. I have to wonder, however, how valuable this information is because it doesn’t include resident anglers. 4. Allow all anglers to fish on weekends. 5. Stop calling us “Non-resident Aliens.” How about “International Anglers”? I’m not sure how things get fixed in Canada. But I hope somebody who can solve this problem is reading this and does something before all we invasive aliens stop coming up to booster the B.C. economy. Bill Schneider, Helena, Montana

Dear Sir: I was appalled to read “Stop the youth indoctrination” (letter to the editor in The Terrace Standard of Oct. 14, 2015). It is completely racist to say that the deaths, physical, sexual and cultural abuses experienced by First Nations in residential schools is akin to children learning sexual education in school. It is not. Legitimizing these racist views by publishing them in the paper only moves us further from reconciliation. Lesley Winterhalt, Terrace, BC

Attempted theft stymied A THIEF thwarted by an alert citizen who called police after seeing something suspicious will pay for damage caused to one of two ATVs he attempted to steal. Thomas Michael Finnie was handed a suspended sentence with 18 months of probation after he pleaded guilty to break and enter and commit indictable offence and possession of stolen property less than $5,000 for the theft from last year. Finnie must pay restitution to Kickstart Motors for $1,577.76 for damage caused to one of the two ATVs and a $100 victim fine surcharge to the court.

He must also forfeit an item found on him, which usually means something the person isn’t supposed to have, said crown Sara Hopkins, adding that the sentence was the result of a joint submission from crown and defence. “It was pretty dark. Somebody knew the area and had sharp eyesight. I think they recognized the machines and it looked suspicious,” said Hopkins about the theft being stopped. At approximately 9 p.m. Dec. 3, 2014, an observant member of the public saw people trying to load an ATV onto a trailer attached to a truck by the CN yard

on Queensway Dr., said police Dec. 4, 2014. The people seemed to be in a hurry, had their hoodies pulled up, appeared jittery and the truck lights were off, police reported. The police officer who responded to the call saw two men flee the area towards Motz Rd. A second officer ran after the thieves and caught and arrested a 22-year-old man. Investigation determined that the thieves had ripped the gate out of its position at the Kickstart Motors location. Two ATVs, worth more than $30,000, were found abandoned

in the nearby area. “There is nothing a police officer likes better than stopping crime before it happens and catching criminals. Majority of the time we get called after the fact,” said Constable Angela Rabut of the Terrace RCMP detachment. “An alert and engaged public can help us do our job more efficiently and stop crime before it happens by reporting suspicious activity,” said the constable. A charge of carrying a weapon or prohibited device or ammunition concealed, which Finnie also pleaded guilty to, was stayed by the court.

COMMUNITY TERRACE STANDARD

MARGARET SPEIRS

(250) 638-7283

Soup’s on: help to feed those in need AFTER 20 years of feeding local residents in need, Ron and Delphine Dame are looking for some help. With volunteers from the community and church, their Seventh-day Adventist-associated Bread of Life soup kitchen serves a warm meal on Sundays and distributes food to between 60 and 100 people every week from the All Nations Centre building it owns on Sparks. But the soup and grocery program is in desperate need of more help. “In order to keep the soup kitchen running, we need more volunteers. Otherwise we just can’t handle it,” said Ron. The biggest immediate need is with the pick up of bread products and other foodstuffs provided by Safeway, moving the often-heavy boxes for storage and then distribution. It’s a lot of work that started out small 20 years ago and has grown steadily from one Sunday afternoon in 1996 when Ron and Delphine took a small pot of soup and a loaf of bread to George Little Park. In 2008, the Seventh-day Adventist Church, where they attend, bought the Sparks Ave. building from the carpenters union where they have run the soup kitchen ever since. The building was usable, but has been in need of renovations from the start. The soffits were in need of fixing and the paint had worn off so the boards were showing thru, and even the knotholes on the boards had fallen out, said Ron. Money for renovations came from a variety of sources: the Seventh-day Adventist Church disaster and relief agency, and local

RON AND Delphine Dame from the Seventh-day Adventist Church are the main organizers behind the All Nations Centre located in the former carpenters union hall on Sparks Street. After 20 years, they’re in need of help so they can slow down. multi-millionaire lottery winner Bob Erb gave them some to use for what they needed. Erb’s donation went in the renovation fund with hopes that more money would be added to it, Delphine said.

The building was in bad shape and renovations ended up costing more than was anticipated. “Thru the grace of God, a few chunks of money came in in the last few months,” said

Delphine. Rotary provided money, McElhanney agreed to do work for free, and donations came in from individuals for the renovations. Local residents Merv Ritchie and John Dignard, a labourer, did the renovations. Ritchie, who managed the project, offered to do it for nothing, added Delphine. Renovation work lasted about three months from July to September. The entire exterior of the building has been redone: new windows, new siding, and a new addition built, expanding the space from 10x12 to 10x40. All that’s left is a few minor improvements, a few shelves and painting the front door. Next year, if all goes well, the parking lot might be paved. Foodstuffs used to be stored in fridges and freezers at the Dames’ home but an expansion that went with the renovation now means the fridges and freezers are now located at the All Nations Centre. The Dames hope the short distance now from the store to the centre will encourage the participation of volunteers. Their request for help is more urgent because Ron, 69, has just started chemotherapy treatment. He, along with Delphine, 67, say they will still be involved with the soup kitchen but want to slow the pace. “We are getting older... I’m retired since 2004 and it’s very hard for us to take a week off and go visit our children. I’d like to wind down a little more, be able to go see my brothers and sisters and children,” Ron said. Ron says they will welcome support from anyone willing to lend a hand to feed those who are needy or caught in a tough spot.

Clay artists reach Author seeks to provoke, inspire 10-year milestone THE CLAY Artists of Terrace Society (CATS) have been moulding and making pottery for 10 years now, getting their start back in 2005 after the pottery population here tripled in only a few years. They have had a busy decade, continually moving forward with expansion. The original studio was in a house at 4438 Greig Avenue purchased in July 2005. It took a few months to gut the house and do renovations. Then the members were ready for the first workshop in November 2005. This year marks a decade of offering pottery lessons for wheel and hand building to adults and children. Currently, there are three pottery wheel teachers: Bonnie Greer, Debbie Ziegler and Pat Irving. Louise Lencucha teaches hand building. Children five years old and up can take hand building and youths older than 10 years old can take wheel lessons. Since opening in 2005, hundreds of adults and children have

passed through the doors and enjoyed learning about clay art. “This past summer our dreams of a bigger studio came true! Our benefactor Dan Condon added a large addition to the house – doubling the size of our wheel room,” says Pat Irving. The Clay Artists of Terrace Society has 14 members who use the studio to produce their own pottery, gain knowledge and practise their craft. They also have the opportunity to learn how to mix glazes, load and fire the kilns. More experienced potters are very generous sharing their knowledge. “We marvel that we have been able to sustain this community studio with very little outside monetary help. We have monthly rent and bills to pay – so far the community support has been with us and we hope to continue in our new bigger and better studio space for the foreseeable future,” says Irving.

We sat down with him to see what makes him tick and why this book is important to him and to us. How does an Ontario guy end up planting trees in B.C. and thinking of the idea to write this story? Planting is a nomadic industry. Once the spring plant ends in Ontario, planters frequently get on with other outfits in B.C. or Quebec. That was my introduction to northern B.C., but it was really my later work as a forestry tech that settled me here. I worked as a silviculture surveyor and also doing wildlife surveys on an environmental crew. This connected me to the intrigue of the wilderness. Writ-

ing a novel about an elk farmer set in the future, well that was a bit of an imaginative leap, but certainly I had a look at ranching life living in the Peace Country. The pipeline politics aspect of the book, the chaos of boom-bust development, that also comes out of the politics that saturate the northern landscape and its towns. Why write/publish this book now? Animal rights, the politics surrounding industrial development, western alienation— these are the big topics that surround the book. I believe publishers are aware of the zeitgeist, the social milieu that seems to demand and create markets for works that engage current dialogue. As a story teller, I can say that I aim to spin yarns that readers will find both entertain-

Josh Massey ing and challenging, that grinds a number of topics through a poetic and philosophic spin cycle and illuminates serious topics with humour. What do you hope readers will get out of the book? I call it a primal yowl or scream that vents the frustration we may feel in a world that’s sagging under the weight of so much humanity. I hope that it will cause people to see the country, and

northern B.C. in a refreshed, new light, and ultimately a positive vision of coming days. I like to stimulate and to provoke, to inspire a range of emotions and intellectual reactions. I think those who read this book will find a mysterious world to explore. Do you base any of the characters on real people you worked with or yourself? I like to create imaginary characters. Sometimes I pull in elements of experience that people will recognize. What’s next? Writing-wise, I have a poetry collection that’s been 15 years in the writing, and I have a third novel partially written which I am eager to get back at. Short stories to finish, etc. Keeping the creative ball rolling. For more on the book launch, see City Scene page 11.

Keep veterans in your heart, mind By MARY ANN MISFELDT IT’S NOT impossible but it certainly is difficult to teach old dogs new tricks. After most of a life time of going to the monthly Legion meeting on the second Tuesday night of the month, the change to holding the meetings the second Saturday of the month at 1 p.m. got the best of me and I FORGOT. Apparently a lot of others did as well and there was no quorum so the meeting could not be held. I apologize to our Executive who work so hard to run our Branch – it will not happen again. I have taken my this year’s calendar and next year’s as well and put a big circle around the second Saturday of each month. May I suggest that all our members out there do likewise? We will all meet at the Branch on Nov. 14. It is the last meeting prior to elections so we should start thinking about an Executive for next year. Trivia Challenge evenings have started at the Branch and continue at 7 p.m. on the second Saturday of each month. Steak night held on the first Friday of each month continues to be extremely popular. It is nice that young families can dine out with their children at a reasonable price and join their friends for an exceptionally tasty meal. The regular Saturday Meat Draws are a fun time for all. On Oct. 10, a young lady celebrating her birthday at the Branch

got an unexpected present and was a two time winner at the Meat Draw. Correction – the Halloween Dance will be held on Friday Oct. 30th, not Saturday the 31st as previously reported. Come on out for an enjoyable evening with your friends – perhaps you will be the lucky winner of one of the many prizes. Wear a costume – it adds to the fun of the event and gives you a chance for a prize. Don’t forget the Annual Buster Paterson Memorial Pool Tournament in the branch Oct. 24/25. For further information, you can call the Branch where the sign-up sheet is or call Doug Misfeldt at 250-638-1827. The Executive and Membership of the Branch would like to express their thanks to the Tillicum Theatre for their very generous donation of Marquee Letters. It has made a world of difference to the people trying to post notices on our outside board and is greatly appreciated. As we near the 11th of November and the Annual Poppy Campaign, we ask our members and all friends of the Legion to keep the thoughts of our Veterans in their hearts. Your generous donations are welcomed but it is your presence and the gift of your time that is needed. We have Veterans in our area that are in their 90s and we have Veterans in their 30s – any or all of them could need our support. We Will Remember Them

OPEN HOUSE CELEBRATING 60 YEARS & NEW RENOVATIONS

By JACKIE LIEUWEN

CALEDONIA SENIOR Secondary has enriched its culture thanks to a decade’s worth of an expanded international exchange program. This year the school is hosting six students, which has been the average number of students each year for the last 10 years. “Most of the kids who come to us on exchange are interested in extra curricular experiences, and they want to be part of the stuff that goes on in the school,” said Caledonia principal Keith Axelson. “We’ve had them competing on sports teams, taking part in our musical production, band, choir, drama club.” “Just having those kids involved in those activities and then taking part with our students has really been a benefit to us. It has added to the school culture,” said Axelson. He finds it interesting how many students want to stay in Canada or move from places Canadians dream to visit. Axelson says exchanges are run through a variety of organizations, and the program has expanded in the last 10 years after exchanges started to be offered through the Prince George-based Shecana International Schools. Shecana offers students exchanges opportunities in Canada, Europe, Australia, Asia and other areas. Prior to Shecana, Caledonia hosted an average of two students per year through Rotary International, which ran a reciprocal program where schools would host a student for half a year and then send one of their students internationally for half a year. Exchanges are offered for either nine weeks, half a year, or a full school year to do part of their studies between Grade 10 and 12. All exchange students have a working knowledge of English with the ability to understand most of what they are being taught in the classroom Two of this year’s exchange students, Angele Le Neel from France and Alina Otto from Germany, are on a 10-week exchange, having arrived the end of August and returning home mid-November.

Turning the page and starting a new chapter

15 October 2015 marked the end of an era and the beginning of a new one for our aluminium smelter in Kitimat. Ken Minifie was there in 1954 when the power to our original smelter was first turned on. We couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have been prouder to bring him back 62 years later to turn off the power to the last potline of that same smelter, which has been a second home to as many as four generations of employees. Our brand new state-of-the-art aluminium smelter will be here for decades to come, offering employment for future generations.

Students enrich school Alina comes from Mainz, a city of just over 200,000 people located west of Frankfurt. She wants to see how other people live and experience North American high school, which she says is structured much differently than back home. “When I go back to school in Germany, I have about 12 different classes and nothing like photography or foods,” Alina said. “We just have maths, languages, and such.” Angele comes from Rennes, a city of 210,000 people in Brittany, a region in northwestern France. She wants to perfect her English and get to know the Canadian culture. One of her first cultural adjustments was stopping from the traditional French greeting of cheek-kissing. “The first day I wanted to kiss everyone,” she laughed. Angele says another difference is the eating patterns. In France “we eat just three times in one day; here you eat always,” she said. “School is [also] very different. Here we can choose our classes, and we finish at 3 p.m. In France, we don’t choose our classes and we finish at 6 p.m. and Wednesdays we finish at 12 p.m.,” said Angele. One other difference is the distances Canadians here travel to different sites and between towns. “Canada is big… it is super-size,” she said of the geography. The other four exchange students are here until June. Claudio QuirogaConzalez is from Piedras Negras, a city of more than 150,000 people in northeastern Mexico, right on the border with the United States. He also wants to improve his English, learn a different culture, meet new people and become more independent. He chose Canada because he heard good things from other exchange students. He says some of the differences are the landscape and the people. “It’s very nice, and

very cold…rainy… you have a lot of trees and green things… and the mountains are very different,” he said. “The people here are nice… you go walking, and everyone says hi or good morning. Where I live, it is hard to find that.” Claudio says he had to adapt his daily greeting as well, from cheek kisses to handshakes. “That was weird,” he said. Claudio has also had to adjust his eating pattern. Mexicans have large meals at noon, and smaller evening meals. In Canada, it’s the reverse. “I was very hungry the first weeks here,” he said. Mamora Nabeshima is from Osaka, a large port city with close to 2.7 million people on the Japanese island of Honshu. She also wants to

improve her English and experience a different culture and is drawn to Canada because of its nature. “I like nature… Japan is mostly city. I want to see wild animals,” she said. Mamora says Canada is a good place, but it is cold. Transportation was one adjustment for her. “Here is no train,” she said. “I always use the train in Japan.” Jeremias Birkle is from Weilbach, Germany, a town of 3,000 people southeast of Frankfurt. Jeremias says he was inspired to do an exchange by his brother, who had a really good exchange experience in Chile. He says people in Terrace are more friendly than in his hometown, where people don’t greet each other unless they know them.

Amadeus Gollmann is from Cologne, a German city of more than 1,000,000 people on the west end of Germany near Netherlands and Belgium. He became interesting in going on an exchange after his sister had a really good experience in Costa Rica, where she studied and worked for six years. One cultural difference he is adjusting to is the increase in fast food and the different varieties of bread. “Bread is not so good here,” he said, adding that he loves German bread, which has much more variety and freshness. But Amadeus is also enjoying his experience in Canada. “My hobbies are fishing and hunting and ice hockey so in Canada, I have all that here. This is all nice,” he said. “I love Canada, I love the nature.”

Boyfriend found guilty of murder A SENTENCING date is to be set following a Kamloops jury trial in which Damien Taylor was found guilty of killing CJ Fowler, his girlfriend, who had been living in Terrace at the time of her death. The two had travelled to Kamloops a short time before Fowler was killed. A jury heard evidence and submissions for two-and-a-half weeks before retiring to deliberate on a verdict the morning of Oct. 14. They returned just five hours later with the finding that Taylor, 24, was guilty of killing Fowler, 16, in December 2012. The guilty finding is for second degree murder which carries with it a life sentence. The jury did not recommend a minimum time that Taylor must serve in jail before he may be paroled, something that will be decided later by BC Supreme Court Justice Dev Dley after the sentencing hearing. Fowler was found dead in the Guerin Creek area of Kamloops on Dec. 5, 2012, with a concrete chunk on her chest. A pathologist testified she choked to death when her tongue became trapped in her airway, the result of at least one blow to her head and face. “I want to scream so loud and cry at the same time,” Matilda Fowler, CJ’s mother told reporters outside the Kamloops courthouse following the verdict. “I just don’t want any other mothers going through what I went through. I want to find answers for the other missing and murdered women, but I don’t know how to do that. I know a lot of them are missing their daughters and have no answers. I have answers and he’s going to jail.” Matilda and her son sat through the twoand-a-half week trial, coming to Kamloops from Prince George. The trial heard Taylor, then 21, and CJ were inseparable. CJ, who learned hours before her death she was pregnant with Taylor’s child, asked her stepfather to treat him as family. Taylor called him “poppa.”

“I also want to say sorry to Damien’s family,” Matilda said. Several of Taylor’s family members attended the trial but they declined to speak with reporters following the

verdict. Crown lawyers said the trial went smoothly. One of them, veteran prosecutor Iain Currie, said it was the quickest verdict he has experienced in a murder trial.

Defence lawyer Don Campbell called it a “fairly linear case in terms of the issues.” During argument, he urged the jury to find Taylor was in a psychosis from days of crystal

meth use and lack of sleep. He said there was no motive for the killing and the couple was a loving one. “To me, when we go to the heart of the case is the human wreckage

from the abuse of crystal meth,” he said. “It’s profoundly tragic CJ Fowler lost her life in this.” (With files and assistance from Kamloops This Week.)

SMALL BUSINESS WEEK 2015

Small businesses backbone of area IT CAN be difficult for a small business to stand out, but this week’s Terrace and District Chamber of Commerce’s Business Excellence Awards gala provides the perfect venue. It’s a way to recognize the efforts and risks undertaken by small businesses in the community, says chamber president Val Gauvin. And it also fits in with Oct. 18-24 being Small Business Week in Canada which this year has the theme: Knock Down Barriers. Dare to Grow.” “It’s exciting for the chamber because it recognizes the small businesses that give us that strength for the community,” said Gauvin. “We have some very strong businesses here, ones that have gone through hard times, ones that were not going to go down without a fight.” The chamber can provide a variety of services for small businesses, added Gauvin. “That’s what we’re here for, to be the business voice for small businesses and others.” One of the chamber services is a regular schedule of events called Business After Hours in which chamber members meet at various business locations in a social setting. “If you have a problem, you can meet someone who has also had that problem and they can help out,” said Gauvin of one of the opportunities arising from Business After Hours. There are 12 categories in this year’s business excellence awards: community booster of the year, company of the year, contributor

New to the award categories is renovation of the year, which is an acknowledgement by the chamber of businesses who take that extra measure of improving and updating their locations, said Gauvin. This year the chamber also encouraged members of the public who submitted nominations to explain why. “This was not only for the top three in each category, but we made sure everyone who was nominated received those comments,”

Those are two of the biggest reasons customers keep coming back to Terrace Interiors for paint and other home decor products. A family-owned business through and through, the store is run by Marilyn Dahl and her son Ron. It was founded by Marilyn’s parents in 1961 and is now in its fifth decade serving Terrace. “We try to give just a bit better service – more personalized service,” Marilyn says. “We try to get to know everybody as a person – not just a number.” They stock paints and stains in thousands of colours by General Paint.

Jean Florence Esther Froese July 15, 1924 - October 9, 2015

FROESE - Jean Florence Esther, born in Prince Rupert to William and Alice (Franks) Smith. Jean graduated from Booth Memorial High School in 1942 and St. Joseph’s Business College in 1943. She helped organize many high school reunions. She worked at the Court House in Prince Rupert for 8 years before marrying Frank Froese and moving to Terrace in 1951. Jean was an active member of Thornhill Chapter No. 85 OES and Daughters of the Nile. During her 40 year residence in Terrace, Jean was secretary to various organizations including PTA, Girl Guides, Cemetery Board, Music Festival and a faithful member of St. Mathew’s Anglican Church. A great letter and short story writer, who enjoyed gardening and travelling. Her beloved husband Frank Froese died in 1980. She moved to Abbotsford in 1989, married Erich Burr in 1990 and they enjoyed extensive travels, making many new friends. Survived by her sister Dorothy (Maslenki) and Dorothy’s children. Jean leaves her daughter Janice Froese (Ron Hooge) Burnaby, and her son Gerald Froese (Dianne) Victoria, her granddaughter Alyssa Hooge and her grandson Graydon Hooge (Sarah Ng). Jean also leaves her stepson Eric Burr (Lori), Surrey and stepdaughters Elisabeth Gerjets (Dieter) Rastede, Germany & Marguerite Csikos (Dan), Vancouver. For the last 8 years, Jean resided in Coquitlam (Residences at Belvedere and Belvedere Care Centre). The family is very thankful for the care she received.

Geraldine Mary Gertrude Verbeek Benson September 23, 1938 - September 28, 2015

We are sad to announce the passing of Our Sweetheart, Mother, Grandmother, Sister and Friend, Geraldine Mary Gertrude Verbeek Benson. Geraldine was born September 23rd,1938 to proud parents Jerome Verbeek and Charlotte Cust Verbeek. The oldest of four children, she had two brothers, Bill and David, and a sister Yvonne. Geraldine is survived by Bill and Yvonne. During her childhood, Geraldine’s family resided mostly in and around Fawcett, and Jarvie, Alberta, though they moved briefly to BC, only to return to the prairies. In 1953, during the birth of her fifth child, Geraldine’s mother Charlotte, passed away due to cancer, along with her final child and third son, Allen Joseph Verbeek, who was unable to survive his birth. In the aftermath of these tragic losses, Geraldine’s life dramatically changed . She became a mother to her three younger siblings, learning fast anything she didn’t know. Despite being just fourteen, she had to bake bread, sew, can preserves, and could be responsible for and tend to their family farm while her father worked. Skills that she took great pleasure in teaching to her own daughters and granddaughters. However, the biggest change of all followed in the spring of 1956, when Jerome moved his four children away from the familiar prarie of their childhood, to make a new home together far away in the mountains of British Columbia. Together, the family moved to Hazelton to begin their lives in the Kispiox Valley. Geraldine first met Douglas Benson, the man who would become her husband, while on a double date with someone else. They were introduced on a train travelling between Terrace and Kitimat, and though he couldn't leap tall buildings, he was able to change vehicles he was riding in, while they were moving down mainstreet in Terrace, and this handsome young stranger won her attention. He wouldn’t stay a stranger for too long, however; thirteen months later this handsome young man become her Superman for 58 years. They were married: September 7th 1957. In 1958 Geraldine and Doug welcomed their first daughter, Debra into the world. A few years later, in 1964, Shelly was born. Over the next five decades, Doug and Geraldine lived in many places, including Haida Gwaii, Whitehorse, Edmonton and Golden before settling permanently in Terrace. In September 2015, Geraldine and Doug celebrated 58 years of life, love and marriage together. As of her birthday on the 23rd of September, Geraldine was 77. On September 28th Geraldine passed away in the company of her husband, Doug, her daughters Debra and Shelly, and her grandson, Benson. She was a talented, comical, and loving wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt and friend. She will always be loved, and will be greatly missed. Geraldine is Survived by husband Douglas Benson, daughters Debra Moon and Shelly McDaniel, sons in law Ted Moon and Rick McDaniel, grandchildren Blaine Evans (Virginia Evans), Shawn Evans, Douglas Swank (Jill Stephens) Andrea Swank, Benson McDaniel, Hazel McDaniel

Terrace-born Hundal shoots for pros By JACKIE LIEUWEN A BIG-NAME amateur soccer player in the Lower Mainland and across Western Canada, Terrace’s Cam Hundal is shooting to go pro in Europe next summer. Graduating with a kinesiology degree at the University of Victoria in April, Hundal says he is exploring soccer opportunities in Germany and Holland. “I’ve played against pro teams a lot throughout my career… so I kind of know what to expect,” said Hundal. “The only thing I am unsure about is the style of play. In terms of my individual abilities, I’m sure I’d be able to keep up fine, but the thing is, the level of coaching and the style of play there is just so much different.” North American soccer is more about athletic ability, but in Europe it is more strategic, with players smarter and quicker with the ball. “That’s going to be the major adjustment. I think if I can do that, figure out the mental part of the game, I should be fine,” he said. Hundal started playing soccer in Terrace when he was five and flourished under Coach Nick Kollias. Looking back he says his Terrace background benefitted him as a player by giving him the freedom to develop his own style of play, rather than having high-level coaches who “restrict you a bit more and fit you into

their system.” Moving to the Lower Mainland at 14 to live with relatives and pursue soccer, Hundal hears from coaches now that he is “a different type of player that they don’t really see much of.” Now 23, Hundal has played on professional development soccer teams every summer since he was 16, first for Surrey United, then Vancouver Whitecaps. In 2014 he signed on with the Victoria Highlanders, who were part of the semipro Premier Development League (PDL) with teams across U.S. and Canada. This summer, Highlanders faced financial trouble and almost went bankrupt. They managed to survive but dropped out of the PDL and played the season in the lower-level Pacific Coast Soccer League. Hundal seized the chance to take a break, playing only part of the Highlander season and returning home to Terrace for six weeks between April and June. “I think having a break is good,” he said. “I’m used to playing all the time [and] playing that much and training at that high of a level for that long, kind of takes a toll on the body. [Taking a break] is good for you physically and mentally… At the same time it gets you excited to play again… once you do get back into it, you are ready to go again and you are motivated again.”

TERRACE’S CAM Hundal is exploring his options for a move to Europe to pursue a career in pro soccer.

Hundal says his parents Kaka and Rajinder have always supported his soccer, yet also encouraged him to balance it with education. Even when he talked to his dad with a plan to move to Surrey at age 14, his dad “didn’t even hesitate.” “For a parent to send a

kid at that young of an age is kind of hard. At the same time, I was a pretty intense person and an intense athlete, so I think my dad knew that if I was going to commit to this, I would commit to it 100 per cent,” he said. After high school, Hundal says he could have pur-

sued pro soccer, but chose to get his degree first. “It’s just something I’ve always wanted to do, get a degree,” said Hundal. “The other thing is with playing sports, it’s never a guarantee. You never know when something can happen, you can blow a knee or get an injury and your career could be over. So having that degree is always a nice back up, something to fall back on.” While he completes his degree, Hundal plays for the university Vikes, where he has earned multiple MVP and All-Star awards. In 2011, the Vikes won university nationals, and Hundal was named team MVP and tournament All-Star. He has also been named the Canada West All-Star in the North American PDL for all four years so far (this year still to be announced). Vikes Coach Bruce Wilson says he is “very happy [Hundal] chose the University of Victoria.” “He has done extremely well for us: captain of our team, outstanding player, outstanding student. He is a great representative for the University of Victoria from an athletic point of view and from a student point of view,” said Wilson. What attracted Wilson to Hundal as a player was his speed and ability to quickly accelerate and decelerate (called change of pace) – something you can’t really

coach, said Wilson. “He was very, very quick… and his skill that went with it was outstanding… [He had the] ability to stop a ball and take the ball and leave people standing,” said Wilson. “His ball handling is very good, his first touch, his control of the ball is excellent and his dribbling ability is excellent.” As for Hundal’s plans to pursue soccer in Europe, Wilson said “why not?” “He’s young enough, he’s talented enough. I think it’s probably worth a chance,” he said. “It’s obviously very, very competitive over in Europe but he is certainly one of our outstanding players at the university level, not only in UVic, but right across Canada.” Hundal is now in his fifth year and says he will finish with the Vikes in April, then play the early-season with the Highlanders and head to Europe in July to catch the pre-season. “I feel good. I’ve been preparing for this for a long time, and now it’s finally at the point where I can take the next step,” he said. “Playing amateur soccer for as many years as I have, it’s fun and I’ve been lucky enough to accomplish a lot in terms of what you can win as a amateur. “I just kind of feel like I’m ready now to take that step into the pro ranks and see what I can do there,” he said.

Terrace runners achieve in Kispiox Turkey Trot By JACKIE LIEUWEN TERRACE CROSS-COUNTRY runners all made personal achievements at the Kispiox Turkey Trot on Oct. 11. Faith Nisyok from Caledonia Senior Secondary School won first in the ages 16 to 19 category with a time of 26:31. “She ran her five-kilometre race on Sunday faster than she ran the four-kilometre race that opened the season in Smithers,” said coach Megan Reid. Faith “has improved remarkably over a few races. She is learning to pace herself, she had a lot of energy left at the end of the race… She finished well ahead of the pack, beating the second place runner by more than two minutes.” Reid said athletes came from Smithers, Hazleton, Kispiox

and Kitimat to compete in the race, which has a challenging five kilometre course with a number of gruelling hills. Despite the rainy weekend in Terrace, the sun was shining in Kispiox when they arrived, and rain only hit after the race was finished. “It was cold, crisp and clear for the race,” Reid said. Six Terrace runners competed, and Reid says all of them did very well. Competing in “a very large and very competitive division” against 16 other junior girls runners, Michaela Yeo got fourth with a time of 25:07 and Olivia Faetz got fifth with 26:01. Both are students from the Skeena Middle School and achieved a personal best. Two other racers from Skeena are new to cross-country rac-

ing and this was their first fivekilometre race. Zachary Bilash finished in 31:30 and Harkirat Dhillon in 31:20, times which Reid says will be a benchmark for them to build on as the season progresses. Boadicea Feddersen also ran, finishing in 31:28, which Reid says is a very respectable time considering her recent heel injury. Feddersen was the fastest female runner on the team last year, and is committed to her running, said Reid. The turkey trot is the second race of the season, which launched September 23 with a race in Smithers and will wrap up on November 7. The cross-country runners joined the Terrace community at the Glow in the Dark Fun Run last Saturday. Their next race is in Prince Rupert on October 21.

River Kings gelling and building up experience By JACKIE LIEUWEN TERRACE RIVER Kings took a 4-7 loss to Prince Rupert Rampage at the Terrace Sportsplex October 10. The River Kings started off well with a 3-1 finish in the first period, but a four-goal streak from the Rampages in the second period turned the game around. “We got three goals right away and I think we got a little over confident,” said Coach Rob Findlay. “And Prince Rupert didn’t quit.” “We had lots of opportunity, they took a lot of penalties compared to us… they almost doubled the penalties we had… we just couldn’t score.” Findlay says the loss is largely due to inexperience. “A lot of our veterans were gone [on Oct. 10]. We had a really young team, a couple of brand new players. Their effort was there… but it’s tough to play in this league and Prince Rupert has a good team, their goaltender played really well.” The Terrace goals October 10 were scored by Reid Turner, Colby Ames, and Austin Turner and Nick Homeniuk. Looking ahead, Findlay says the season is going to get better.

“By the time we get down to Prince Rupert, we should have a good squad...”

“We’ve got a few more veterans coming back out. We are working hard, two practices a week with the young guys and working on some systems to get them playing together better and skating [lots].” He says with the new players, the team has yet to organize line ups. “We are just filling holes right now… by the time we get down to Rupert [October 24], we should have a pretty good squad mixed with veterans and rookies,” Findlay said.

Important Notice to Resource Road Users

A province wide, safety-oriented project is underway to standardize twoway radio communications on forest service roads and some resource roads. This project includes standardized signage, new dedicated resource road radio channels and standardized call procedures. The Coast Mountain Natural Resource District will begin implementing new resource road radio channels commencing on November 2, 2015. Other districts throughout the province have already transitioned or are currently transitioning. Forest industry workers and other road users using mobile radios must have their radios reprogrammed to incorporate the new resource road channels. It is recommended that road users retain current radio frequencies until they are sure they are no longer required. New signs posted on local resource roads indicate which radio channel to use and the calling interval, with drivers required to indicate their direction of travel and their vehicle type. Drivers using mobile radios must call according to the posted channels and call protocols. All road users are reminded that forest service roads are not radio-controlled, but radio assisted. All users should drive safely and according to road and weather conditions. It is strongly recommended that all resource road users exercise additional caution during this transition period. Local resource road safety committees have worked together to implement these changes. More information (including radio communications protocols, radio channels, maps and standardized signs) is available online at: https://www.for.gov.bc.ca/hth/engineering/Road_Radio_Project.htm If you have questions about this project, please contact the Coast Mountain Natural Resource District office (Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations) at 250 638-5100, or Industry Canada at 1 800 667-3780.
