Jury calls for better monitoring By MARGARET SPEIRS PRISONERS AT the Terrace RCMP detachment, especially if they are known to have substanceabuse problems, should be more closely monitored, a coroner’s jury has concluded following a three-day inquest last week into the death of a 25-year-old woman. Alyssa Josephine Talina George fell into distress in the detachment cells approximately 14 hours after

her Sept. 3, 2013 arrest for outstanding warrants. She was then taken to Mills Memorial Hospital and later flown to Vancouver General Hospital for more treatment but died September 10, 2013. Evidence presented at the Oct. 19-21 inquest centered around George’s time in custody at the detachment. Through replaying of video surveillance at the time of her arrest, George appeared to be able to walk

without problem or assistance and to communicate with the booking guard. Once put in her cell she flipped through a magazine and laid down for a sleep. But footage shown of the 45 minutes before paramedics removed her showed her in what appeared to be distress, laying on the bench in the cell, then sitting up and rocking back and forth, then sliding off the bench onto the floor where she sat, rocked some and laid down on her side, then her

back and later facedown. Dr. Robert Saunders, emergency physician and coroners service medical consultant, said George died of many factors. Saunders testified that she had been quite ill for months prior to her death as she was not eating much but had been drinking. People with a severe alcohol dependence that goes on for a long time have this happen, he said. A person’s liver filters toxins including alcohol out of the body and

can be damaged by alcohol, which also affects glucose metabolism, he said. A person’s brain needs energy in the form of glucose so if you don’t have any in your body, you starve, Saunders said. George’s glucose levels were down low enough to cause unconsciousness, plus she was dehydrated and in respiratory distress when brought to the hospital, he said.

River crossing route changed By JOSH MASSEY

■■ Ready to roam HANNAH PREST gets herself done up as a zombie bride for the Zombie Walk Oct. 24. Before the walk began, artists helped people get their zombie look on at Skeena Diversity Centre. The annual walk gathers food items and financial donations for the food bank before the staggering and lurching hoard begins its time on the streets, starting from the top of arena hill.

BC HYDRO has made adjustments to the routing of its planned new 287kV power line that will extend from the Skeena Substation in Terrace to Kitimat in order to avoid an area of old growth trees bordering the Lakelse River. The change was in response to concerns raised by a local land management committee. The Kalum Land and Resource Management Plan committee was informed by BC Hydro of the progress of the project planning and asked for its opinion at an Oct. 21 meeting. The committee is made up of representatives of industries and fishing and recreation groups. The main route for the line, to replace one that’s past its viable service date, was already established, however, after the environmental work done this summer, BC Hydro made a slight revision where the line will cross the Lakelse River. “The initial provisional line routing/design required clearing within these sensitive areas,” the group was told during the presentation by project manager Robert Smith. The sensitive area of old growth forest and the fishing-rich area of the protected Lakelse River was a sticking point with the resource management committee group

and BC Hydro came through with a shift in routing to avoid the old growth trees which “utilizes two taller structures (60m lattice steel) and the natural topography to span over the river.” “That’s the beating heart of salmon conservation. There was a lot of concern of breaching of that zone,” said Rob Hart, who chairs the Kalum committee. He said the committee was happy with the crossing shift. The total span over the river is just under 500 metres and the additional costs to the project are less than one per cent. The old line, which currently follows Hwy37 South, will be decommissioned and the right-ofway left to grow back. Hart said that further questions to be answered include the possible future use of the abandoned right-of-way by liquefied natural gas companies for natural gas pipelines. He said that a report on the trees that are removed and the areas traversed in the new line should be made available for future planning. The project cost for the new 287 kilovolt line which will feature steel poles is $115 million and this past summer was spent doing the environmental work with engineering and construction work anticipated for 2016 or 2017.

Fraud attempt rejected TERRACE RCMP reported last week that the owner of a local business was the target of an attempted fraud. The owner received fictitious invoices from companies in Verdun, Quebec demanding payment. RCMP say the companies were calling themselves 411 Media pages and Publication Internet Mondiale. But both companies had blank websites.

WE ARE NOW OPEN!

They then called the business owner to demand payment. “They hung up immediately when the Terrace business owner said he was reporting the incident to the police. No money was lost,” reported Terrace RCMP. Authorities are once again warning businesses and others to be on the look out for fraudulent attempts to collect money.

NISGA’A LISIMS Government executive chairperson Kevin McKay, provincial aboriginal relations and reconciliation minister John Rustad and Nisga’a Lisims Government president Mitchell Stevens at Oct. 19 announcement of aboriginal skills training program.

Training announced NISGA’A CITIZENS in Terrace, Prince Rupert and the Nass Valley are to benefit from a $2.1 million training program over the next three years. The goal is to train 215 Nisga’a for jobs within the liquefied natural gas industry but skills learned can also apply elsewhere, says Gary Patsey of Nisga’a Employment Skills and Training (NEST), the Nisga’a Lisims Government agency which is to administer the program. “This training targets those who require assistance with requisite skills enhancement before attaining industry or trade training and certifications. For these individuals, the training is foundational to further training in any other sector as well,” he said. Already more than 50 people

have applied for driver training, considered as one of the key first steps toward employment. “We forecast that as clients work their way up to trades or industry training and gainful or demand driven employment, their quality of life will improve, their family or personal income will improve and acquiring transportation will be a viable option to them,” said Patsey. The money comes from a provincial government skills training program and was announced in Terrace Oct. 19. NEST anticipates an early November start up by first hiring people to administer the program. It will contract out for services it cannot directly provide and will provide child care for those who need it.

Part of the training will also involve work experience at projects in Nisga’a communities. “The participants will be provided opportunities to apply their newly acquired skills, training and strategies in work that benefits the community while enhancing the experience and resume of the clients,” said Patsey. Training planned so far includes first aid/CPR, road safety and dealing with hazardous materials. Nisga’a Lisims Government president Mitchell Stevens called the training program an important step toward economic development. “The program adds to the capacity of our people to participate in the major developments which are coming soon to our region,” he said.

The Northwest Latin Group is happy to announce that partial proceeds from the 3rd Fiesta Latina are being donated to the Terrace Child Development Center ($2000).

NORTHERN SAVINGS Credit Union has sold a money-losing technology company and has reduced the size of its Prince Rupert head office staff.

Credit union scales back NORTHERN SAVINGS Credit Union has laid off 12 of its 44 Prince Rupert head office employees now that it has sold off a money-losing stand alone technology services company and is reducing the size of its southern B.C. mortgage portfolio. The latter two moves means there is a reduction in head office activity, says interim credit union chief executive officer Barry Delaney in explaining the lay offs. “We’re making a prudent move to go back to being the traditional credit union that we are,” he said last week. The stand alone technology company, Solutions Only of Victoria, with 31 employees, was sold last month to CGI Group Inc., a huge technology services company, and Northern Savings has now signed a contract for it to provide technology services. Delaney said Solutions Only was costing Northern Savings money and it didn’t fit into its core business which is servicing credit union members. Solutions Only was built by Northern Savings from the ground up years ago when the economy in the north was tough

and another revenue source was needed. “I don’t fault the people who did that at the time,” said Delaney. “But we should have done a strategic review five years ago. The economy has changed. By keeping that company as long as we did, it was a financial drag on the credit union.” Moving into the southern B.C. mortgage business, primarily around Victoria and in the Okanagan, in 2004 was also viewed as a way to diversify revenue when the northern economy was in tough shape. But the value of that portfolio, which is approximately $450 million, has now grown too large for Northern Savings which has an asset base of just under $1 billion, Delaney said. “In terms of size, it was about the same size as the rest of the credit union put together,” he said of mortgage portfolio held outside of the north. “With that, the risk is high. This is a matter of risk management,” said Delaney. Reducing that risk means selling approximately $150 million of the credit union’s southern B.C. mortgage portfolio. Delaney did note that when

interest rates were higher prior to the economic downturn of 20082009, the mortgage business brought in strong returns. The partial sale of its southern B.C. mortgage portfolio will bring in a profit but it will not be enough to cover the write down of the technology company sale, Delaney added. “But our members should know we have strong reserves. We are not in a deficit situation,” he said. “We just couldn’t have these financial drags. It’s the members’ money.” Northern Savings noted its 75th anniversary this year and traces its roots back to 1940 when several smaller credit unions were formed in Prince Rupert and on Haida Gwaii. Those credit unions merged over the years becoming Northern Savings in 1995 and, a year later, the credit union expanded into Terrace. It acquired the Terrace and District Credit Union in 1996. Delaney was brought in as the interim CEO earlier this year, replacing Ken Doleman who ran the credit union for three years. A search for a permanent CEO continues.

Power line sagging being fixed BC HYDRO’S main contractor on its Northwest Transmission Line has been back in the area doing environmental reclamation and tightening up some sagging sections of the line. “It’s not uncommon once a line is in service and goes through a winter to find small corrections to the conductor sag need to be made,” said BC Hydro’s Jim Shepherd of the latter work being done by Valard on five spans of the line which stretches from the crown corporation’s Skeena Substation near Terrace north to Bob Quinn along Hwy37 North. Most of the sag correction can be done without an outage but there is one exception further north, scheduled for next month requiring four 10-hour outages, said Shepherd. It will affect the village of

Iskut, the Red Chris mine and Forrest Kerr, one of the Iskut River run-of-river power projects owned by AltaGas. For Iskut, the village will be served by a diesel generator which had been its source of power for years until last year when it connected to the provincial grid via the Northwest Transmission Line. The environmental work involves closing down temporary roads built to gain access to tower construction sites, reseeding, monitoring to ensure reclamation work has been successful and removing items such as fencing used to prevent erosion and to control sediment. The 334-kilometre long Northwest Transmission Line went into service last summer.

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.

Cullen cruises to fifth victory

ith his f i f t h electoral victory secured Oct. 19, and second in a row where he has received a majority of the vote, New Democrat Nathan Cullen has now surpassed former New Democrat MP Jim Fulton’s four election wins. Fulton, first elected in 1979 by defeating Liberal MP Iona Campagnolo went on to wins in 1980, 1984 and 1988 before retiring just before the 1993 federal election. He then went on to become the executive director of the David Suzuki Foundation before dying of cancer in 2008. Fulton’s departure from elected politics in 1993 brought on terms by Reform MP Mike Scott and then Andy Burton who eventually became part of Stephen Harper’s new Conservative party before being defeated by Cullen in his first election victory of 2004. Cullen was subsequently re-elected in 2006, in 2008 and in 2011 leading up to the 2015 election. His 2015 tally of 51.2 per cent of the popular vote was down slightly from the 55.33 per cent mark of 2011. But if there was personal victory for Cullen on Oct. 19, there was also disappointment because the New Democratic Party not only lost a bid for first place, but fell from its position of Official Opposition with 95 seats at the dissolution of Parliament to 44 on election night. That placed the party back in third place. Its share of the popular vote dropped from 30 per cent to 19 per cent.

“We’re very disappointed we were not able to form the government as we hoped to do a number of weeks ago,” said Cullen on election night. Still, he said he has no intentions of running for the leadership of the NDP should Thomas Mulcair step down after the party’s third-place finish. “It’s the furthest thought from my mind tonight,” said Cullen who placed third the last time the NDP held a leadership race. That was called after former party leader Jack Layton passed away. As for whether the election results would’ve been different if he had been leader, Cullen said he had no lack of confidence in Mulcair. “That ship sailed three years ago... I was confident with Thomas’s leadership and ... many many short weeks ago, [the talk was] about Mulcair as prime minister.” “We suffer from high expectations. When we used to get more than 30 seats, it was considered a breakthrough. Now to go from 100 [seats] down to 30s and 40s is disappointing,” Cullen said. When the NDP was the third largest party in House of Commons, Cullen said its MPs scrambled and fought for attention, something they’ll go back and do again. “We know we’re good at it and we’ll rebuild.” As for what went wrong for the NDP and whether the length of the campaign was part of the problem, Cullen said it will take a number of weeks to sort things out. “We’re not the party

Voter turnout jumps from 2011

SKEENA-BULKLEY VALLEY voters matched results across the country by turning out in greater numbers than in 2011. With just two of 219 polls not yet reporting in, 43,564 people voted for a 68.65 per cent turnout, a figure equating the national average. Elections Canada reports there were 63,459 people registered to vote, not counting those who registered on polling day. NDP incumbent Nathan Cullen’s 22,303 gave him a clear majority of 51.2 per cent, down slightly from his 2011 tally of 55.33 per cent. Conservative Tyler Nesbitt received 10,758 votes or 24.7 per cent of turnout, less than the 34.5 per cent collected by the 2011 Conservative candidate. Liberal Brad Layton received 8,158

to win at all costs and give up our values and principles to do it,” he said. Cullen said it is too soon to say if voters

chose Liberal candidates over NDP ones to defeat Conservative Prime Minister Stephen Harper, a strategic decision which cost the

NDP seats. Meanwhile, Conservative challenger Tyler Nesbitt, who ran second with 25 per cent of the vote, says he’s will-

votes or 18.7 per cent of the popular vote, substantially more than the 3.61 per cent received by the Liberal candidate in 2011. Green candidate Jeannie Parnell received 1,575 votes or 3.6 per cent of turnout slightly more than the 3.14 per cent received in 2011. Christian Heritage Party candidate Don Spratt collected 770 votes or 1.8 per cent, less than the previous candidate’s 2.96 per cent. JOSH MASSEY PHOTO

ing to help Cullen push the new federal Liberal government for results for northwestern B.C. “Nathan is a voice in the opposition just like we are. We will just see what he can make of it, and if there is anything I can ever do in my capacity to help the people in this region I will certainly have my phone on for him,” said Nesbitt, speaking at his Terrace campaign office the night of the election. Nesbitt said his results had “absolutely nothing to do with my performance and my team and anything we did. It’s that we got caught up in that antiConservative, antiHarper wave. And that’s just what it was. I make no regrets about how we campaigned. “We had the right message but the deck couldn’t be more stacked against a Conservative running in the Skeena - Bulkley Valley riding,” said Nesbitt. And he did wish Cullen the best “and hope he can deliver results for people here being a distant third place [nationally].” Nesbitt even suggested Cullen would make a viable NDP leadership candidate once again. “If he does in the end, Nathan and I will never agree on many issues but at the very least I don’t think it would be such a bad thing for the representative of the Skeena - Bulkley Valley to lead a major federal party,” said Nesbitt. Liberal candidate Brad Layton, while unsuccessful personally, was in an upbeat mood. “I’m ecstatic, we needed change and I’m 100 per cent behind the platform of the Liberal party,” said Layton the evening of the election

from his Smithers campaign office. “We’ve already been checked off as elected to NDP here, I’m hoping that Nathan Cullen will work as hard as he can to make sure that we see the benefits with the Liberal government.” Layton finished with just under 19 per cent of the vote, a substantial improvement over the Liberal candidate who ran in 2011. Green candidate Jeannie Parnell had 3.6 per cent of the vote and the Christian Heritage Party’s Don Spratt had 1.8 per cent of the vote. With five wins now to his credit, Cullen still has a few more elections to go before overtaking Frank Howard. First with the CCF and then with the NDP, Howard was elected seven times in the northwest federally beginning in 1957 before being defeated in the 1974 election by Liberal Iona Campagnolo. Cullen did have some comments to make about Elections Canada’s new rules on how the vote count is reported across the country. The rules have changed so that there is no blackout on reporting results in B.C. after the polls close elsewhere but are still open here. For example, Atlantic Canada results started coming in before 5 p.m. here, two hours before the polls here closed. “I was very troubled that the decision was made [so] we get results an hour and a half, two hours before polls close [here],” said Cullen. “I can’t help but think it affected the hearts and minds [of voters]. I don’t know why we can’t ask people to wait for an hour.”

EDITORIAL

Change QUICK. Who was the federal aboriginal affairs minister in the nowdefeated Conservative government? Bernard Valcourt from New Brunswick who, on election night, lost his own seat. That Mr. Valcourt never visited the northwest may speak to how his government viewed aboriginal affairs. This was the government, after all, which took more than two years to ratify treaty agreements in principle for the Kitsumkalum and Kitselas after their members did so by referendum. Prime Minister-elect Justin Trudeau, by following through on his electoral success message of change and optimism, has the opportunity to do better in the northwest. And that’s within the area of aboriginal involvement in industrial development. It’s taken the prospect of a liquefied natural gas industry to open the eyes of all concerned that aboriginal participation in decision-making overall and specifically in areas such as skills training is vital for the future of the region. Even if a natural gas industry does not happen or takes place on a much smaller scale than contemplated, a template of aboriginal inclusion for any other type of industrial development can only make the region stronger. The new Prime Minister’s choice for aboriginal affairs minister and that person’s subsequent mandate would be a step in the right direction.

It’s a wonderful world

fter catching up on election news after the Oct. 19 vote, I found Louis Armstrong’s voice in my head singing, “What a wonderful world”. Justin Trudeau’s stunning election victory was far more than I had hoped for. I would have settled for ousting Stephen Harper even if that had resulted in a minority government. This decisive majority promises so much more – little risk of another federal election in less than four years unless, as some pundits warn, holding together 184 new MPs could prove impossible given so few can expect to receive cabinet postings, especially after Trudeau’s signal he intends naming a smaller cabinet of only 25 MPs. We’ll be spared the repetition of talking points every time we tune in to a news cast. What could happen next is fun to speculate. For a start, Trudeau’s children can look forward to moving into 24 Sussex Drive where they will have a private swimming pool, likely a chance to travel the world with dad as Justin did with his father.

THROUGH BIFOCALS

CLAUDETTE SANDECKI Pierre Trudeau, it’s said, closed his office at 6 p.m. each evening and went home to have supper with his family and spend several hours with his three boys before he returned to his office, if he had work still to do. I hope Justin follows his father’s example. His three little ones should not have to grow up without dad because he’s taking care of public business. Pierre also took one or another of his boys with him on foreign trips. Justin walked the Great Wall in China and met foreign heads of state. Those experiences set him at ease with cameras

and crowds now, situations painful for Harper’s more reserved personality. Master Conservative obfuscator Paul Calandra lost his seat and will no longer be around to tell heart-tugging stories about his father’s pizza business during question period when an embarrassing question is put to his party. Nor will he be party spokesman on political news panels. Unfortunately, the equally irritating Pierre Poilievre held on to his seat. Without Harper and his PMO ‘boys in short pants’ to write scripts for surviving Conservative MPs to study and guide their performance in the House of Commons, will any of them be able to think for themselves after years as bobble head dolls being handed a list of talking points and safe answers before stepping into parliament like elementary school students exiting a school bus watched over by their teacher at the start of a field trip? The one Conservative staffer who won my admiration is unelected Ben Perrin, lawyer to Stephen Harper during the weeks when Nigel Wright and the entire PMO

S TANDARD

tied themselves in knots trying to hide Mike Duffy’s expense scandal. Perrin advised Harper Duffy did not qualify to represent Prince Edward Island in the Senate; to do that Duffy would need to live at least 183 days out of the year in PEI. Duffy lived in Ottawa and had done so for years. Yet Harper defied both constitutional law and Perrin’s sound advice, insisted Duffy could and would be a PEI senator. During Duffy’s trial, rather than dovetailing with PMO narratives, Perrin testified Harper’s principal secretary and closest advisor, Ray Novak, had been present in the room when Wright said he would personally pay Duffy’s outstanding $90,000 expenses. Perrin’s testimony was in direct contrast to that of other staffers and Harper’s words in question period. Perrin is now associate professor at the Peter A. Allard School of Law at the University of British Columbia, a position he secured before he testified in the Duffy trial. Reason enough for Louis Armstrong’s “Wonderful World”.

The Mail Bag So this is God’s idea

JOSH MASSEY PHOTO

BUSINESS OWNER Virginia Goodard has some ideas about how business signs can be displayed.

Let’s raise business profiles Dear Sir: This is in reference to the Terrace No. 1500-1996 (consolidated) bylaw of advertising business within the City of Terrace. I would like to see the bylaw amended to allow more flexibility to advertise professionally through signs and notices whether it be temporary or permanent, that travelers/ tourists and community members can view as they walk or

drive through the City of Terrace. Something like a six-sided information centre with surface mounts for people to post on and/or an attractive revolving sign board {like at the Sportsplex) of community events, promotions and sales. Or, for the Grand Trunk Pathway, a revolving railway track-themed electronic sign on which businesses could then advertise.

For good visibility, this sign could go on top of the Kwinitsa station building now housing the Shames Mountain/My Mountain Co-op office. There are information centres out there with very fine print maps that could be greatly improved. The top of the Kwinitsa building might be a location and/or the tourist infocentre, down off Keith. I also hope those mak-

ing the bylaw decisions and amendments will get more input from the community business owners and developers of Terrace before making new or final decisions on how, when and where we are allowed to advertise in the City of Terrace. Let’s visually promote and support business and development here, not discourage it. Virginia Goddard, Terrace, B.C.

Dear Sir: Brian Gregg’s “Peace be with you” letter to the editor of Oct. 14 begs for a lesson in politics of divine mythography. We made God in the following way. The Hebrews, who still had gods for this and that, in a tough time settled on the protective ethnic nationalist Yahweh as the supreme among them. The Greeks were doing the same, but the philosophers among them began to argue that theirs were nothing more than fallen heroes and internalized natural phenomena. Socrates, the most famous of those Greeks, gave us the idea of the Idea, the abstract ideal of perfection. Zeus, already the supreme Greek deity, also became the figure behind their concept of “theos,” from which we get theology, as well as theatre, whose spectacle joyed me as Catholic boy. “Idea” is the key. In etymology, which is the study of the origin of words and which is central to mythography or the writing of myth, “idea” combines the roots “in” and “theos” (in linguistics, the “d” is a cognate of “th” and “z”). To have an idea is to be godly. The very Greek Book of John begins with the key to the Bible, that the word is God. “Word” in the original Greek is “logos,” the root of “logic” and all our “-ologies,” that is, our mind work. When the Hebrews and the Greeks got together, through the Romans (who gave us “deity;” the Germans’ Gott gave us God), Socrates’ Idea was personified through a fortuitous, holistic abstraction that mixed yet confused the evolved etymology of “idea.” In Greek, again, that evolved root is in both “idein” and “eidenai.” The first means “to see,” the second “to know.” The first pertains to the senses and description, the second to the mind and definition.

Be ready for snow showers next month

nother year has passed and it is time again to see what the Old Farmer’s Almanac has to say about the weather for the next 12 months. With temperatures forecast to be below normal next month, odds are we will see our first snowflakes by mid-month, but likely in the form of snow showers only. Week three will see mixed snow and rain and the month will end as it started: wet, wet, wet. Rain will dominate through the first week of December, but then the real white stuff will take over continuing through week three when we will get our first taste of cold weather. After a couple of days of rain to wash away what we have on the ground by then, cold and flurries will be the order of the day through the Christmas holiday period. January opens with mixed rain

and snow showers but a vicious cold snap hits at the end of week one bringing with it blizzard conditions. (Pleeese, not another one!) Thankfully as week two draws to a close we will be back into rain/snow with even some sunny and mild weather. However it is a brief respite as heavy snow hits in week three before a sunny and cold end to the month. That sunny cold weather drags into the beginning of February and from there the month will be dominated by snow or flurries. March announces that winter is over by opening with a week of rain then three weeks of mainly sunny and cool weather. April reinforces the message when, after a week of cool and showers, we get “seasonable” conditions followed by sunny and “nice” for the last couple of weeks. One to May, the most impor-

GUEST COMMENT

MALCOLM BAXTER tant month of the year for gardeners wanting to get their veggies into the ground. It starts out perfectly with sunny warm weather but then follows up on that promise with three weeks of showery weather with temperatures flipping back and forth between cool and mild. After an uncharacteristically

hot June this year, next year normal service is resumed with nothing but showers and only one week of warm weather. July starts out not much better with cool and showery weather but in week two summer arrives with sunny/hot for a couple of weeks, finishing with warm and a few showers. August can’t make up its mind, opening with hot sunny weather followed by showers and cooler in week two, sunny in three and cool with showers to end. September is equally undecided going from cool with showers to sunny/cool to rain to showers/ mild. To complete the year October opens with a bit of sun but the first half of the month will be mainly wet and through that last half we should see our first white - thankfully just showers. And there you have it. FOOTNOTE: Whatever your political stripe, you had to admire

the brilliant campaign put together by the Liberals in the federal election. Starting out in third and being relentlessly pummelled from the start by the continuous Conservative attack ads that Trudeau was “just not ready,” they stuck to their game plan. Like Ali in the famous 1974 Rumble in the Jungle fight against George Foreman, they played rope-a-dope, absorbed all the punishment and waited. And waited. As the seemingly endless campaign entered the stretch they came off the ropes with carefully crafted ads showing a dynamic Trudeau making a powerful speech as the crowd went wild. And ended with a single word on the screen - “Ready.” Like I said, brilliant. Retired Kitimat Northern Sentinel editor Malcolm Baxter now lives in Terrace. msdbax@citywest.ca

College tackles future Dear Sr: Re: “Low cost education at risk,” October 13, 2015 I agree with George Davison that colleges do an excellent job of helping students adjust to post-secondary education through local access, instructor attention, and tuition savings. For students pursuing higher education, I call this the best step forward and I want to keep this option open for all students in our region. In order to do that, NWCC needs to continue evolving how we meet the needs of our communities. Looking into the future, we need to consider not only shrinking public funding as Mr. Davison indicates, but also changing demo-

Ken Burt graphics and demand. There are, and will continue to be, fewer students since much of the echo boom generation is now past college age. This means we need to be very clear and purposeful in what we offer to ensure it aligns with what our audiences want. Right now, the shift

has been to more professional and vocational programs, not just here but across BC and even Canada. We are well positioned for that shift, but we are looking to understand if that is what our audiences want going forward. NWCC is delivering post-secondary education in our region within the parameters outlined above and addressing the concerns raised by George Davison around access and funding. We have a team of people that are here to help with access to financial aid and other student services. We are also working hard to build our available student bursaries and scholarships, in collaboration with our industry partners. In addition, we are

Vancouver Canucks Alumni Hockey Game Fundraiser RAISED $17,000+

focused on growing our program offerings by making ourselves a welcoming campus to all potential students, both here in Canada and internationally. This will enable us to offer more services and provide stable program offerings. As Mr. Davison indicates, there is no question that post-secondary education is undergoing significant changes in Canada. As a college, we will be actively seeking out feedback from all of our stakeholders in the coming months to better understand what shape post-secondary education needs to take in northwest B.C. Ken Burt, President, Northwest Community College, Terrrace, B.C.

From Page A7

This idea is from God That mix is behind the notorious mind/body problem in philosophy, a different though related lesson. For God, however, Socrates’ Idea was taken over by the late Hebrews, known as Hellenized, or Greek, Jews and then fatefully by Jesus. (For elaborated related discussion, among others see Arthur Lovejoy’s classic book The Great Chain of Being, as well as the requisite for Bible study, The Anchor Bible Dictionary.) The takeover made the abstract definition of God depend wrongly on concrete description – that is, the incorrect use of the five senses to define an abstraction, as in feeling or making love. We can’t touch it, but we know what it means. Still, it’s illogical, the category error of Aristotle. The mix gave us the God who – jealous and proud, burning in a bush and throwing around lightning, dangerous but also loving enough – behaves as a quasi-man but also as a Superman. (On such invention globally, see the most important current scholar, Matt Rossano.) The controversial German philosopher Nietzsche most troubled the pious with that mix, and ironically the equally troublesome psychologist Freud, a Germanic Jew, similarly annoyed – and enlightened – though the Nazis preferred to distort Nietzsche instead, of course, for their particular ethnic nationalism. Jesus got caught up in the fiction – in the theatre, we could say – and got himself killed for it, making us ask, what if he’d lived to teach into ripe old age? To conclude the political lesson, we can refer to his willful neglect of his own caution on vanity, Matthew 6:5-8. Many others after him were killed for it, too, and too often in the name of what was constructed in his name by lesser men in later times. Brian Gregg would surely not want to be among them. Anyone who would martyr himself deserves psychological help. Fortunately, we have education to avoid that grievous fate of confusion. Could say that is God’s idea. David Heinimann, Terrace, B.C.

Loved the baskets

www.terracestandard.com A9

Needs to be a way to review politicians

Dear Sir: Not only local citizens but visiting tourists wonder who is responsible for the beautiful flowering hanging baskets that adorn Terrace’s downtown streets. The hanging baskets are the hard work of Wanda Friesen (Skeena Valley Resources) who has worked many long hours this summer keeping the baskets looking so amazingly beautiful. Wanda – a special thank you coming from many. many people of Terrace and visitors alike. Certainly a job well done, keep up the good work in helping Terrace look so beautiful. The hanging baskets are financed by the City of Terrace, the Terrace Downtown Improvement Association and individual businesses. Once again, a big thank you, Wanda, for a job well done. Yvonne Moen, Doris Scott, and many others in the community, Terrace, B.C.

Dear Sir: Question: Why are elected officials ‘hired’ by us and paid by us taxpayers not subject to periodic performance reviews? Most of us who work for somebody are subject to such reviews, annually or even more often and our pay may be adjusted accordingly. Even people who are selfemployed are subject to such reviews, every new job can be such a review. So why are we, the taxpayers, putting up with a fouryear review period only, election time, and then have no other recourse than to ‘turf’ somebody for poor perfor-

SOLD

mance (not listening to the people who pay their wages) with no other recourse, no financial ‘penalty’ for that person? What would happen if an annual performance review of elected officials would be implemented, would it improve the system? It just might make them more ‘honest’ and have them listening to the people who pay their salaries and benefits, all of us taxpayers! But after this election and the changes in government there maybe implementation of changes like this and others. Martin Holzbauer, Thornhill, B.C.

Shogun dojo: a place to belong By JACKIE LIEUWEN TERRACE SHOGUN dojo is less about the sport, and more about providing support and community for youth, especially those troubled or on the outside of social circles. “It’s a place where all walks of life are welcome. It doesn’t matter what your social status is,” said sensei Amber Pipe. “I don’t turn anybody away. I use it for a place where people can feel like they have a home.” Shogun dojo is a light-contact field of martial arts that includes karate, kickboxing and point fighting and emphasizes self-defence and respect for opponents. It is an inexpensive sport which fighters can continue pursuing into adulthood and will not age out of. “If you love it, you can always do it,” said Rajan Sangha, co-sensei with Pipe in Terrace. Pipe said they use the program to encourage youth and challenge them to set goals such as overcoming substance abuse or building self-confidence. It also requires dedication to get up four days a week for workout sessions beginning at 6 a.m. With that, the program offers a place for youth to be part of a group, make healthy friendships and get connected. Pipe says she is so proud of the fight team she has, six youths ages 15 and up who are tight friends, don’t drink or use substances, and welcome and take in new youths who Pipe invites. The focus of the program overflows from Pipe’s life experience. At 14, she was cut off from team sports due to a serious arm injury, and it set her on a path of drinking and rebellion, she said. By 20, she was addicted to crack cocaine and dealing marijuana. Then, 18 years ago, a friend intervened by convincing her to try out kickboxing. “I started martial arts and it saved my life along with the grace of God,” she said. “It’s the only thing, other than God, that I love more than getting high. And I had to find that.”

Left to right are students Robbie Cline, Adrian Babcock, Josh Sangha, coaches Amber Pipe and Rajan Sangha, and students Nick Yasinchuk, Zachary Lawley, Jenna Hoornenboorg. Over the next few years, Pipe was able to break her addictions, earn black belt status and start teaching shogun dojo in Terrace. She took over the program in 2013 and it has been growing ever since, she said. “I have a passion for teenagers that may have their lost way into substance abuse like myself,” Pipe said. “I try and offer them a free place to train with the promise that they will try and clean up their life and give me a year to take them to tournaments and see if it’s worth the sacrifice.” Co-sensei Sangha got into shogun dojo at age 11 and has excelled. Now 23, Sangha is a black belt and three time bronze medalist at the World Karate

and Kickboxing Championship, and has been helping teach the sport since 17. “The thing I like the most is that everybody who trains now, we’re all friends… we’re kind of just one great big family,” he said. Along with the fun of travelling and hanging out, Sangha says teaching has rewards too. “Watching them succeed is a huge thing for me,” he said. “When somebody comes in and they can barely throw a punch the first day, and then six months later you see them at a tournament and whether they are winning or not, they are doing what you’ve told them, they are doing good things, and they’ve learned,

55th Rotary auction offers something for everyone THE 55TH Terrace Rotary Auction is gearing up for another round of items for everyone with the money going primarily to the local community and also to worthwhile projects around the world. “Businesses have been quite generous in what they provided for us so we got pretty much everything you could think of,” said Brian Downie of the Rotary Club of Terrace. “So if you want a car or need a barbecue or luggage or fishing gear or snowmobile jackets or pictures, paintings, we’ve got several of those and they look very nice. Everything for your home and office and something for everyone.” The auction website will go live for

pre-bidding this Friday, Oct. 30 and continue right thru to the start of the auction on Nov. 7, where it will be a live auction thru the 8th. Last year, partway thru the auction, livestreaming began, which was very popular and will be used again this year, said Downie. And a mobile app that worked pretty well last year will be used again. “Those are two things that definitely make the auction more accessible for more people,” said Downie. The city’s second club, the Skeena Valley Rotary Club, is volunteering its time to help out, said its president Jennifer Larson. With the auction and the duck race at

Riverboat Days, the two main fundraisers for rotary, about $90,000 was raised with most of it staying in the community, added Downie. Some of the financial contributions to the local community included $20,000 toward the Splash Park in George Little Park, $10,000 towards the Search and Rescue Marine Sonar, $5,000 to the REM Lee Hospital Foundation for its new endoscopy suite and many more. International projects included $11,590 to a Guatemalan Health Clinic, a Ugandan Education Project and a Kenyan Water and Sanitation Project. The 55th annual Terrace Rotary Auction website is auction.terracerotary.org.

that’s a pretty good feeling.” The two sensei run several programs in Terrace, including kids karate for Suwilaawks students, adult kickboxing, a morning fitness program and their advanced, competitive shogun dojo team. Rather than emphasize winning, they focus on gradually developing and strengthening fighters – both in the sport and in life. They inspire the team by travelling to tournaments and have done very well in the past several years. The team is training and saving for the Irish Open martial arts tournament in Dublin next March, which raises money to support the Irish Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (ISPCC).

hen the long kind days of summer leave and fall and winter set in, my house is extremely dark at night. Set on four acres in a rural area, away from streetlights and shrouded from neighbours by forests, unless you turn something on, the hallway, staircase, and basement are pitch black. And it doesn’t matter how familiar I am with my home, every so often this deep darkness catches me by surprise. The other evening, I started downstairs, not realizing someone had killed all basement lights. I was fine at first, but on the landing just before the final flight of stairs, the thought hit. Wow, it’s really dark. And just like that I lost my place and froze. Eventually, since there was no other viable option, I moved forward again, prodding for solid ground, one foot at a time. Every so often, feeling empty air, my heart would race. Was this the spot I’d fall? And then I was safely on smooth floor once more, familiar with my surroundings again, relief flooding through me. The small lesson felt like a gift. I’ve had a difficult five or six months. There have been lovely times and moments, but there have also been terrible, wrenching events. The deep contrasts between life’s good and bad have been . . . harder than usual. I’ve been struggling to cope with the things other people suffer, and angry at the unfairness and randomness of so much of life. Plus I’ve been uncomfortably aware of the pettiness of some of my problems compared to bigger issues (personally and within the larger world) and frustrated with my inability to do much of

incident, followed closely by a chance stumble into this Kurt Vonnegut quote:

JUST A THOUGHT

EV BISHOP

Out of the Dark anything to help. And I’ve felt guilty for such negative feelings because even in the toughest times I’m poignantly aware of all I have to be grateful for—and I am grateful. Truly. But sometimes my blessings make the questions I have harder to stand up under, not easier. Why am I spared? Or blessed? Why is anyone? During this dark time, my faith and core beliefs have taken a hit and I’ve been very, very sad—to the point that I’ve worried what if my resilience gets so battered I can no longer bounce back? What if one day I just can’t muster energy, or keep putting myself and my heart out there? And then I had the stairs-in-the-dark

I found the simply worded admonishment comforting. And challenging. Pain can make us hate. I have to fight that in myself. Other people’s behaviour can tempt us to harden ourselves. I need to resist that inclination. I have to let go of bitterness. It poisons and sours the sweetness that coexists with the awful. The world is a beautiful place—or can be—and that’s why the hard things are excruciating. We know how good things can be, should be, so we chafe against the bad. That can be beneficial if it gives us courage to change the things we can. It’s destroying when it keeps us focused on what we can’t change or prevents us from recognizing and taking joy from the things we have that are good. I don’t think we’re ever prepared for the familiar to suddenly become alien or to find ourselves in times of utter darkness, but perhaps it’s unavoidable. Yet if we can somehow keep feeling our way through those times, eventually we’ll make it back to, or will create, a safe place. And meanwhile, maybe we shouldn’t beat ourselves up for feeling bruised and aching occasionally. That’s what happens when you’re soft. And softness is good.

The request was to allow a home business to open on a lot at 3820 Marshall, using 2,012 square metres rather than the required minimum of 2,700 square metres. The request comes

from property co-owner Stacey Primosch, who wants to hold a small fitness group in her home, which is considered a level three home occupation, which is for group lessons or counselling.

Since this property is not quite the minimum size for a home business according to the bylaw, Primosch came to council requesting permission to run.

It is helpful if volunteers have experience and comfort working with diverse groups of people, and they need to be available to co-facilitate one or two workshops a year. Experience with chronic pain either personally, or as a caregiver or healthcare professional is highly beneficial. If this sounds like an interesting opportunity that suits your experience, skills, and interest, please submit your on-line application at www.selfmanagementbc.ca. If you need help or more information, please call us at 1-866-902-3767 (toll free). Thank you for your interest, and we look forward to hearing from you soon.

Home business plan worries neighbours The reason for the minimum size is to provide a buffer for other properties close by, but with group lessons or counselling, the city does not think that noise is a great concern, said city planner Tara Irwin, adding the group would have to be fewer than six individuals. The city also considered traffic as Marshall is a very quiet street, said Irwin. Three neighbours came to the council meeting to share their comments and concerns. Helen Jepsen said she was concerned about the amount of traffic because there already were drivers not following the speed limit of 30km/h, and if the Primosches let their clients park in their driveway, their own vehicles would be parked along the edges of the street. Another concern was the noise from the classes, she added. “I work long shift work and I’m concerned about the noise when I’m trying to sleep,” Jepsen told council. Dust is also an issue as it is a gravel road so residents try to keep it down and are worried about more vehicles causing even more dust. Another neighbour, Vance Hadley, told council he was there to support Primosch, who told him she was planning on holding three classes in the morning and evening. Primosch plans to hold the classes in the basement that is 2,400 square feet and is an excellent place for a gym and she thinks it will be quiet, he said. At most, there would be six people in the basement, added Hadley. Another option for parking is that the Primosches could open their gates and let people park in the yard itself, and that at the most would be six vehicles, he said. Janice Craveiro, the property owner to the north, said most of the neighbours had signed a petition against the Primosch’s plan. “We have gone around to all the neighbours, probably 80 per cent (want to keep it a)

beautiful quiet, let me emphasize quiet, street and I think only two said it didn’t matter to them. It matters to us,” she said. Craveiro also said residents were concerned about dust. Councillor James Cordeiro asked city development services

director David Block if anyone from the city had approached the residents about having Marshall paved. Block said the city generally doesn’t approach residents but instead waits for them to come ask for paving. Since the request was because the own-

er’s lot was too small, Hadley asked whether a business request would automatically pass if a property was big enough. Irwin said it would. Councillor Stacey Tyers said she understood living on an unpaved road but she supported the application

because the only reason the owner needed special permission was her lot size. The entire other side of the street could make a similar application and get it approved without anyone having a say. Cordeiro said they could make conditions like parking on the

street or having it in the basement to ensure that noise wasn’t a problem. Irwin said the city may want to look at ensuring the variance would be specific to inside the home itself and not on the property. Deputy mayor Michael Prevost asked if anyone would move to

amend the motion for the variance so that the council’s concern about classes being held in the basement would be included in the recommendation. Tyers made the motion, councillor Brian Downie seconded and the variance was voted on and passed.

Jury recommendations

THE FOLLOWING are the 16 recommendations made by the jury following the inquest into the death of Alyssa George. They’ll be forwarded to the chief coroner who will send them out to the specific organization named in each recommendation. To the RCMP 1. The RCMP C13 form (filled out when a person is being booked by the police cells guard and arresting officer) requires additional space for initial medical info/questioning/survey/screening, such as when was last intake of alcohol or drugs; taking any medication/what/ dosage; pre-existing medical condition; and allergies. 2. Consider all policies/procedures and standards as mandatory, not best practices. 3. Ensure RCMP watch commander performs and is accountable for physical (in cell) checks every four hours of all prisoners in all cells. To the RCMP/City of Terrace 4. Guards must follow/adhere to existing policies/procedures (in their operational manual) concentrating on: the four Rs of rousability, watch command four-hour prisoner check, guard “physical” check every 15 minutes. 5. Use of closed-circuit TV should be used as a secondary backup to physical check. 6. RCMP/guards should use the cell check log appropriately (follow all blocks of the form and fill out completely). 7. To assist the guards doing the physical cell checks, the hall lighting could be reduced, or a matte coating on cell door window to reduce the glare from the above lights. 8. Consider reducing medical assessment time to eight hours. 9. A committee should be established to discuss the possibility of and paying a second guard on duty at all times. 10. Investigate upgrading the existing closed-

circuit TV system to include larger monitors, with the ability to select the video feed to focus on one cell, ability to zoom and pan video feed while maintaining the source feed for the recording, audio microphones at each end of the hallways free of background noise. 11. Install a two-way non-recording intercom system into all cells, other than cell 1 and cell 7, (drunk tank and youth cell) for rousability checks, a loud buzzer noise in cell to precede actual two-way communication for prisoner privacy. 12. Ensure that all guards and RCMP members take the existing training as required and investigate increasing some training cycles to ensure retention of information/policies/procedures. 13. First aid training should be enhanced to include medical information and scenario training more conducive to alcohol and drug addiction, and community level training such as the intergenerational effects of residential school on First Nations, as well as cultural sensitivities of other minorities. To the provincial Ministry of Health 14. Must keep blood samples taken from patients who are gravely ill for 14 days for testing and follow patient if transporting to alternative medical facilities. To Northern Health/First Nation Health Authority/ Ministry of Health/ City of Terrace 15. A committee/focus group should be established to investigate the construction of a proper medically staffed substance abuse/detox centre in the City of Terrace to service all outlying areas. This should include one or more substance abuse doctors and counsellors. To the Ministry of Health/Northern Health/ RCMP/Mills Memorial Hospital/ BC Ambulance Service: 16. Investigate having a better and more accurate means of transmitting urgent/non-confidential medical information from one agency to another.

Detox services lacking tiple organ and system failure due to metabolic acidosis and respiratory depression as a consequence of acute and prolonged ethanol (alcohol) and substance abuse, and her death was classified as natural. The jury heard that George had gone to Dr. Lennox Brown here

for help to get off heroin and he prescribed methadone for her for a while. He said he believed she had been referred by her regular doctor to alcohol and drug counsellors and mental health services. In May 2013, she expressed a desire to go to a detox centre to get off drugs and alcohol

but there was no place here in Terrace and the centre in Prince George was full, he said. Brown testified the area wasn’t adequately served for drug and alcohol detox services. He also said that contrary to what people might think, there are no detox beds at Mills Memorial.

She also had metabolic acidosis which is when lactic acid forms from burning cells without proper oxygen, and all of these factors led to multi-organ death, he said. Saunders had seen parts of the video and said George was certainly ill by 9:42 p.m. – she had been arrested and taken to cells at about 11 a.m. – when she got her food tray and struggles to pick it up. However, he said that training guards or police officers to identify complex medical issues takes too long and needs practice so training for them wouldn’t be beneficial. Saunders said that if a person gets worse over time, that’s a sign that can be taken for medical distress. “I don’t expect police and guards to be paramedics but if [a person] gets worse, call paramedics who can come and say ‘they’re ok’ or ‘we have to take the person to hospital,’” he said.

Variances granted for sign, building COUNCIL PASSED two variances for a sign and building sitting as a committee of the whole Oct. 13. The sign one was for Mr Mikes to increase the maximum height for a ground sign from 3 metres to 3.05 metres, which would be placed along Lakelse; an increase in the maximum area of the total square metres on a sign from 18.5 to 33.42 sq m, which would mean the addition of a sign on the restaurant’s Lazelle side; and to increase the maximum sign area of a canopy sign from 25 per cent to 29 per cent, which is the replacement of the sign above the main door facing Lakelse. City planner Tara Irwin added the variances are part of a Mr. Mikes rebranding. The application for the second variance was for 5135 McConnell to increase the maximum height of an accessory building from 5.1 metres to 7.1 metres. Property owner Robert Geier intends for the building to be a shop for the storage of his RV, maintenance of personal equipment and space for woodworking. City staff did have some concerns that, since the applicant owns a business that uses heavy equipment, the building could be used for business purposes that are not permitted on residential property and become an enforcement issue, but Geier assured the city the building would only be used for personal reasons. Other properties in the area are of similar size and have similarheight accessory buildings, and there are no concerns of other property owners so the city

is recommending that this variance be approved. Councillors were told city staffers do

keep an eye out on accessory building use so that appropriate city regulations are followed by property owners.

Hart says that most land use management groups were dissolved more than a decade ago, but those in the Northwest, including the Smithers area, continue to this day and provide an important voice for local interests in major projects. He said that in the past it was

mainly forestry and mining projects that the group involved itself with but that the building of the Northwest Transmission Line and proposed natural gas and oil pipelines caused the group to involve itself with companies wanting to build rights-of-way through forested land.

News In Brief Rainbow painting delayed THE CITY is holding off its plan to paint rainbow colours on the crosswalk in front of city hall. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The pavement there requires a relatively small overlay first before the paint can go down and with the

winter coming, it makes sense to do the painting in the spring,â&#x20AC;? says city official Alisa Thompson. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll also mean less wear on the paint over the winter months, Thompson added.

Ticket given for urinating ONE PERSON ran afoul of a city bylaw last week for urinating in a public place. A Terrace RCMP report last week said the ticket was given after police observed a man urinating on a back fence in an alley. The ticket was issued under the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parks and public places bylaw and carries a fine of $200. And if it isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t an RCMP officer CONTRIBUTED PHOTO

PROVINCIAL ABORIGINAL relations and reconciliation minister John Rustad and Haisla chief councillor Ellis Ross at Oct. 20 announcement that Crown land will be turned over.

Haisla receive Crown land THE HAISLA are to get 120 hectares of Crown land from the provincial government to connect two pieces of existing reserve land. The land lies between Kitamaat Village and Walth reserve on the Douglas Channel and the announcement was made today in Kitamaat between Haisla chief councillor Ellis Ross and provincial aboriginal relations and reconciliation minister John Rustad. Turning over the land comes under a provincial program called incremental treaty agreements meant to pave the way toward negotiating final and more comprehensive land claims and self government treaties. The province also regards these incremental agreements as a way of providing treaty benefits in a quicker fashion than waiting for the larger treaties to be negotiated. In the case of the Haisla, its negotiators and

those from the federal and provincial governments have been in Stage 4 of the treaty negotiation process since December 1996, some 19 years. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the stage which is to lead to an agreement in principle which is then put to Haisla voters for acceptance. The agreement in principle sets out the broad details of a final treaty and leads to further and more detailed negotiations. Actually transferring land from the province to First Nations can take as long as a year which was the case with the Kitselas and Kitsumkalum. Rustad said the transfer will â&#x20AC;&#x153;open new opportunities for the Haisla Nation as they expand their community and build lasting prosperity through sustainable commercial ventures, and partnerships with industry and government.â&#x20AC;? Ross said the lands â&#x20AC;&#x153;have great historical and cultural value to our people, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve worked to re-acquire them for 60 years.â&#x20AC;?

Terrace family trio races together By JACKIE LIEUWEN A FAMILY trio of three-generations calling themselves the “Reid Runners” compete every year in as many races as they can find in the north, and are planning to join the 10K Vancouver Sun Run next spring. The trio has run together for over nine years, and includes 69-year-old Michael Reid, his daughter Megan and granddaughter Michaela. Together they compete in races in Prince George, Hazleton, Terrace, Kitimat, Prince Rupert and the Queen Charlottes, and often train together by biking or running around Terrace. The running started with Michael Reid who picked up the sport at age 25 when his daughter was born. “I wanted to be sure that I would be fit enough to do things with her as she got older… that was the driving force,” he said. He said it was bit tough to get started running, but the Terrace running club at the time adopted and supported him, and once he got started, running became addictive. Now 69 years old, Michael has competed in hundreds of races and marathons over the years, and just ranked tenth of 42 runners in his age category in an 8K Goodlife Fitness race in downtown Victoria October 11. His running inspired his daughter Megan, who started cross country running in high school. She was coached by her dad and is now the high school coach herself. “I was always looking up to my dad growing up,” Megan said. “He was such a fast runner… It was always something he had a fun time doing and he was a good example of physical fitness. When I was old enough to run with him, I wanted

to and he was happy to have me.” His granddaughter Michaela first joined the trio in a stroller, and as she got older started running along side her Mom. Now 14, this is Michaela’s third year racing with her mom and grandpa and she says there is everything to like about running. “It’s good for you and whenever I’m stressed out, I always go for a run and it makes me feel better,” Michaela said. Michael agrees. “Running clears your head. You can have a bad day at work or whatever the case may be… and while you’re running, your head clears,” he said. He adds that having a daily routine of running or other exercise, “regardless of what you are doing, there is always one positive thing that you’ve done that day. You’ve gone out and done that,” he said. Besides the stress balancing and fitness building qualities of running, it has also affected their diets. “Garbage in, garbage out,” said Megan. “If you are not putting food in that is going to give you energy, then you are going to be too tired to go for a run or a bike ride. We try pay attention to make sure that we are eating for fuel.” Michael says one of the things he likes about running is the independence and flexibility. With busy lives, it is nice to have something to fit in whenever you get a chance. Megan adds that it is a great sport for anyone because runners can compete against themselves, and achieve lots of personal victories. “You could come in last, but be thrilled that you beat your time by however many minutes over the last time. It’s always your own race. It’s so personal,” she said. But the biggest thing for the trio is the quality time. “I always talk with my Mom

I don’t know if everybody else has something they do with their mom and their grandpa.” Megan agrees, adding that having that family time together is great, especially as Michaela gets

older and hangs out more with her friends. For Michael, he says nothing gives him more joy then going out for a run with Megan and Michaela. “It’s hard to describe the feeling when you are running with your

daughter and granddaughter. It is absolutely wonderful,” he said. His advice to other people is to find things to do with their families. “Do things together. It doesn’t have to be running, but keep your family together by being involved with them,” he said.

Terrace loses hockey bid but hopes still high By JACKIE LIEUWEN TERRACE LOST their bid to host a national aboriginal hockey tournament, but organizers have not given up on hosting a major cultural event. “We are completely confident that we have the capacity to host an event of that magnitude and we’d definitely like to have another crack at something in the future, whether it’s the hockey tournament next year or another sport,” said city councillor Brian Downie. Downie was part of an organizing committee who submitted

a bid last May to host the 2017 tournament. The tournament features eight male and eight female teams of players in their mid to late teens. The committee also included mayor Carol Leclerc, Kitsumkalum chief councillor Don Roberts, Kitselas chief Joe Bevan and Cal Albright, the executive director of the Kermode Friendship Society. The bid was won by Penticton, which is now the B.C. nominee running in a national selection process. Albright said the committee was disappointed by the

outcome and had proposed and planned a cultural event around the hockey tournament which it hoped would give Terrace and area a competitive edge. Albright said the committee had wanted to showcase aboriginal culture, especially highlighting northwestern B.C. First Nations. The list of to showcase included local food, arts and crafts as well as songs and dances from all different groups and nations in the region. Downie says the committee will see what other opportunities it can pursue beyond this. Some of his ideas include

building a cultural event around a basketball championship or the Riverboat Days soccer tournament. “There is a lot of interest in showcasing Terrace and northwestern BC First Nations culture,” he said, adding that the group is “very motivated, has great ideas and has time and energy” to plan a cultural event. Now that they have made all these plans in applying for this tournament, Albright says they are more forward looking as they lookout for other opportunities. “We are going to keep our options open,” he said.

TONY MOORE works on Terrace Mountain trail.

Trail being built By JACKIE LIEUWEN TERRACE OFFROAD Cycling Association (TORCA) is building a new trail called Downtube on Terrace Mountain. “The new trail adds a new intermediate level downhill route for riders on the Terrace Mountain trail network,” said Tyler Wilkes, TORCA trails director. “The majority of older trails are more geared to experts, and it is crucial for us to expand the beginner and intermediate level trails to help introduce newer riders to the sport.” The 2.2 kilometre intermediate trail will open a new route from the northeast end of Flathead Loop to Kitselas Road, and adding to the 25km trail network on the mountain. Bikers will wind around berms, through trees, and over small bridges, rock sections, and a few mini-jumps.

“It follows a natural ridge down the north side of Terrace Mountain… it’s a part of the mountain that is shallow sloped enough, not steep, that we can make that beginner, intermediate trail,” Wilkes said. “It has been mentioned by locals [as a good spot for a trail] for quite a while.” Wilkes says local contractors constructed 750 metres of the new trail starting in September. They are wrapping up their work due to weather and plan to finish the trail in 2016. The $30,000 project is financed by government grants, the City of Terrace, Terrace Community Forest, TORCA and local clubs. This year’s costs are covered by Recreation Sites and Trails BC. TORCA volunteers and contractors also finished two other trails north of Kitselas Road this year, the Spring Creek trail and the Lichen.

y grandfather, a bricklayer eking out a living and raising 5 boys with my grandmother in Wynyard Saskatchewan during the bitter years of the Great Depression, pledged allegiance to the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation. He knew and admired its founder, Harold Winch, another master bricklayer, and felt the socialist credo of the CCF offered some much needed hope for the working man when hope was in short supply. Motivated principally by my grandfather’s worsening health, the Wynyard Browns headed for BC, where the salubrious climate offered some respite for honest Tom, as the patriarch of the Brown clan was known to the citizens of the small prairie town. My dad and his four brothers, Tom Junior, Maurice, Ed, and Stan crammed into Tom’s threadbare Model A Ford to make the epic trip to the coast. At one point in the journey, stopped at a gas station in the foothills, the boys stared awestruck at the massive cordillera on the horizon. “Do we have to go through that to reach B.C.?” Tom asked the attendant. “Well, son,” came the man’s reply, “you can’t very well go around it.” As the boys coasted down harrowing hills steeper and longer than any they had ever seen, or imagined, with the ignition off – a clever tactic my uncle Tom hit upon to save precious drops of gas – their parents made the trip by train. They settled in Vancouver, where Tom with the assistance

NDP victories: Barrett in 1972; Harcourt in 1991; Glen Clark in 1996, but for the most part there have been losses. As a New Democrat you learn early on that the other side has the money and private media on its side, so losses are inevitable, but playing your cards correctly can effect considerable change, like universal health care, for example. So when the red tide swept the country a week ago, I was disappointed. The best outcome would have been an NDP majority, with a liberal opposition, and a conservative party with a few seats, but I was greatly relieved. It was like a big dark cloud that had blocked the sun for ten years had lifted. It felt that way because the party that had over the last decade vilified well meaning Canadians because they cared about the environment, muzzled scientists, appointed slime-balls to cabinet, closed libraries, shut down world renown research centres, introduced disgusting attack ads into Canadian politics, gutted the Fisheries Act, ignored the plight of First Nations, wrecked the environmental review processes, shut down debate with omnibus bills, and shut down parliament to dodge scandals, was, at long last out of power. Despite the last ads from the regressive conservatives, the election was all about Stephen Harper. A control freak and autocrat, he was the party. Instead of leading us to the promised land, Tom Mulcair has led us back into the wilderness. It’s not all bad, though. Next week I’ll you why.
