Waste handling shift underway By MARGARET SPEIRS THE NEW way waste is to be handled in the region continues to take shape with the start of work to convert the Kitimat-Stikine regional district’s Thornhill dump into a transfer station. When finished, the transfer station will be used to sort waste from recycling and from there it will be sent elsewhere, with garbage being trucked to the new Forceman Ridge landfill which itself is under construction off of Hwy37 South
on the way to Kitimat. Because of the work going on at the Thornhill dump, the regional district is banning, at least for now, a list of items. The items are scrap metal, tires, large appliances (although fridges and freezers will still be accepted) and lead acid (vehicle) batteries, says Margaret Kujat, the regional district’s environmental services coordinator. “Those are the main ones that take up a lot of real estate at the site and we need that (space) for
our guests as well as construction equipment moving around,” said Kujat last week. “It’s not intended to be a negative. It’s more of a positive to get folks to understand they have options they haven’t really thought about or were aware of.” “Tires for example have at least 10 places to take them,” Kujat said, adding that in future, these items may be reintroduced as being accepted when the transfer station is finished and in operation. The reason for not accepting
these items anymore is for safety of residents bringing in their residential waste because these newly restricted items build up in the landfill quickly and get in the way, and space is limited with the transfer station construction going on, she said. The goal is to keep the landfill safe without sacrificing service, she added. The work at the Thornhill dump began last month. It involves preparing a landfill cap of clay that will be place over
the existing dump footprint. It’s meant to reduce leachate liquids by keeping rain and other precipitation from soaking into the landfill’s material. A leachate collection system will also be installed as will a system to collect landfill gas. There is also a plan to collect leachate from existing waste and treat it in a pond and through a subsurface wetland. Cattails will be placed as well to treat water before it leaves the site.

NO MORE will motorists using the Sande Overpass by Keith Ave. on its southern end be confronted with flashing amber and red signals, as the final touches are being put in place this week on what is a major overhaul and construction project. “We are going to the traditional traffic signal timing,” said provincial transportation ministry official Darrell Gunn late last week. “Barring any malfunction with the new electrical cabinet,” it should be complete by at least this Friday, he said. A key feature of the work involved adding a second lane for motorists turning left from the overpass eastward to Keith Ave. Pedestrians will also have a safer way of crossing at the southern end thanks to the installation of timed signal lights. Making improvements to the Sande Overpass, considered a choke point for traffic, is a provincial responsibility because it is part of Hwy16 and has long been wanted by city council and motorists. The company WestCana has been doing the electric component of the work under a subcontract from Adventure Paving of Prince Rupert which did the construction. The total bid price for the whole project came in at $2,297,266.42 which was paid for by the province.
“We have basically all the physical works done, what we are working on today is all the electrical wiring hook up,” said Gunn last week. “All the big, physical concrete, the paving and lines. That’s done.” The timing of the new light system is based on the traffic patterns that are calculated on the unique characteristics of the intersection, he said. Next in line for the overpass work will be resurfacing it, which is high on the transportation ministry’s priority list for future projects, said Gunn. Resurfacing of Keith Ave./ Hwy16 heading east of the overpass and west of the overpass from its northern end took place earlier this year. The provincial transportation ministry says bike lanes or a plan for bikers was not considered in the redesign of the Sande Overpass but could not say why not. While the redesigned overpass will make transit easier for motorists and safer for pedestrians, there was no separate provision for cyclists. According to a ministry of transportation statement, cyclists should either use the vehicle traffic lanes or dismount and walk their bikes along the sidewalks.

Council on the verge of passing tether bylaw TERRACE CITY council is due to give final consideration to a bylaw banning the tethering of dogs outside. Second and third readings were given to the bylaw Nov. 9 and it will now come back to council at a future meeting for formal adoption. City development services director David Block said the existing bylaw allowed an unattended animal to be tethered up to one hour but it’s a safety issue because an animal can be injured by the tether and if it’s going to be outside, it should be in a fenced yard instead.
He said that the city received few complaints but that there was one repeat offender whose dog was left tethered outside all day while the owner was at work. The yard could be fenced as it was already fenced on three sides, said Block. In past, tethering was likely used more and was an issue but not so much today, he added. Councillor Michael Prevost asked if an overhead line was included in the current bylaw. Block said the bylaw permitted any form of tethering for an animal
left unattended for no longer than one hour. Councillor Stacey Tyers said it reminded her of her grandfather, who had limited mobility and couldn’t walk his dog, and would tie his dog to an overhead line so it could get some exercise. “My concern is creating a bylaw for one person that may hurt others,” she said. Councillor Brian Downie asked whether city staff looked at animal control bylaws in other municipalities and whether no tethering was the standard. Block said staff had done that and ani-

mal injuries were what was driving the bylaw change; in five or 10 minutes, a dog could get hung up on a tether line. Councillor Sean Bujtas said he has rescued dogs who had been tied in the back of trucks and were strangling and that a friend’s child had a dog die when tethered. The BCSPCA has taken an active stance against tethering, saying it can cause psychological and emotional distress to a dog. And it says a tethered dog is three times as likely to bite as an untethered one.

DOGS TIED to a tether outside, even for an hour, can get tangled in the tether, getting injured or killed.

to avoid problem gambling, such as limiting time and money, going with a friend, and having a wide variety of leisure activities. It also has information about how the games work, odds of winning, and services available for people with problem gambling, including a voluntary self-exclude program, where they can choose to be kept out of a gaming centre for a certain length of time. Krahn visits Terrace every three months to train Chances staff to know how to connect with patrons, provide information and education and how to help them if they want more information and support. Last Wednesday he presented about the GameSense program to 26 members of the Terrace Rotary Club at a breakfast event. This comes at a time when Terrace council is considering a proposal from Chances Terrace to expand the number of slot machines, with a long-term goal of opening a new executive-level hotel with Chances adjoined on land it hopes to purchase from the city.

City increases benefits THE CITY has recently enhanced the benefits package all of its managers. The new package, which mirrors the Canadian Union of Public Employees’ collective agreement the union has with the city, includes an “extended health plan, paramedical services, medical transportation, and the dental plan.” Some of the new provisions is that managers will be allowed to take pallbearers’ leave for funeral and mourning-related matters and take advantage of a 100 per cent dental plan. There is also paid time off for birth

THE PROVINCIAL crown corporation which oversees gambling in B.C. is boosting their services which provide information on problem gambling at the Chances Terrace casino and others. Beginning in January an employee from the lottery corporation will be stationed at the information booth located at the entrance to Chances. The idea is to encourage people to play responsibly through providing information and education, says Walt Krahn who is part of the B.C. Lottery Corporation’s GameSense program. All regular gaming centre staff are trained to inform and connect people if they ask for information and the information booth already has brochures and a self serve computer terminal to inform people about responsible gambling, but they are hiring an advisor for the booths to make face to face connections with people, said Krahn. “The intent is that we want to be able to have someone on site who is available at any given time to provide information,” he said.

Fall round up What’s new in the Terrace and Thornhill business community?
By JOSH MASSEY AND JACKIE LIEUWEN IT’S BEEN another active season for Terrace and Thornhill business development with the value of building permits alone in Terrace toping the $50 million mark at $51 million as of the end of October, which is $21 million more than it was in the same period in 2014. The number of business licences within the city has also been on the increase – from 1,134 as of the end of September 2014 to 1,234 at the end of September this year. Thornhill, which is governed through the Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine, does not issue business licences but business construction has been active there as well. Below is a sampling of some of the business activity in the area.
Spruce Moose Studios THE NEWLY opened Spruce Moose Studios is a one-stop-shop for theme parties, offering artistic services not previously available in Terrace. Owner Laura Ross is a long-time costumer and photographer with a background in education and says she started the business as a way to encourage people to embrace creative self-expression. “I love to make memories for people. I like to help them find what makes them happy, so this idea evolved because I saw a need for
people to embrace creative self-expression,” said Ross. They opened a few weeks ago on 3234 Kalum Street, which Laura says is later than she intended but was just in time for Halloween.
Kermode Grill THE LATEST restaurant to occupy the building on the corner of Greig Ave. and Kalum St. is the Kermode Grill, kitty corner to the Terrace Best Western. This is Reva Jurgeleit’s second business in that part of town – she is also the owner of the Ye Grand Ol’ Barber Shop just down the street and says she started Kermode Grill because she wanted a restaurant that serves the food she loves. “We are kind of uptown flavour, down home taste,”she said.
and shreds documents that have sensitive data such as financial and identity information. Aside from the traditional shredding he says he will also manage the destruction of information that might be kept on old computers and even photo copying machines and printers. Hughes also has his eyes on a local use for all of the shredded paper as his business grows – taking it to the commercial composting op-
eration run by Hidden Acres Farm.
U.C. Fashions U.C. FASHIONS on Lakelse Ave. takes its name by using the initials from the previous clothing store located there, Urban Colour. There is even more of a connection because U.C. owner Kristina Piper used to work for Urban Colour’s Eryn Griffith. That was in
Confidential Shredding NEW OWNER of the Confidential Shredding Company Jay Hughes hopes to specialize in several forms of sensitive data destruction and has several strategies for making his company stand out. Hughes took over the company this summer from previous owner Chris Arnold and is building his clientele while keeping Arnold’s philosophy intact of hiring people with special needs. In this case its Cody, a brother of Hughes. A niche market, what Hughes does is drive his truck to locations, picks up
2006 when Urban Colour first opened and Piper returned to the spot this August as its new owner. She is going to emphasize local fashion and has one section of the store set aside for design and tailoring.
Kofoed Drive, Guerin said they will have a showroom three times the size and are expanding to have a lot more inventory, expecting that full displays and highway frontage will bump up business. Guerin hopes to be moved in by the end of January.
All Star Shoes
Transcend Fitness
A 4600 Block of Lakelse Ave. fixture changed hands this summer when Ginny Kenmuir purchased All Star Shoes from Pat MacDonald. Kenmuir most recently has had office jobs, but says she always had retail at heart. “My first retail job in Terrace was with Bob [Park] at All Seasons and I learned a lot there,” she said. Kenmuir had first contemplated opening a clothing boutique in a spot next door to All Star and stopped in to speak with MacDonald about the idea. “That’s when she said ‘why don’t you buy my business,’” said Kenmuir. MacDonald is staying on for a bit to mentor Kenmuir.
Kickstart Motors

IN ANOTHER business move, this time in Thornhill, Kickstart Motorsports is relocating to a highway-frontage shop with a big showroom to display its wares. “We need more space so we are kind of stepping up to the next level,” said owner Francis Guerin, adding that the space they have been renting on Substation Ave. in Thornhill sold. Building a new shop on
TRANSCEND FITNESS is the first ladies-only gym to open its doors in Terrace. Co-owners Kristine Ewald and Simone Crook also offer group fitness and child-minding. “We thought it would be a great way to support the women in our community,” said Ewald. They also offer personal training for both women and men, and rent space when classes are not in session.
White River SID PELTIER says he was pleased to move White River Helicopters to a new location across from its old one on Hwy16 heading west of town. The move was delayed as he had to get the proper permitting to modify the new location into one for aviation. Now the business, which is 20 years old, is located in a scenic spot right by the Skeena River, good for promoting the remote expeditions that White River specializes in overseeing. The above items should be considered a representative sampling and should not be regarded as a definitive list.

EDITORIAL
Tanker ban OF the many items on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s immediate ‘todo’ list is his promise of a legislated tanker ban on the north coast, which is of prime importance. How this plays out will not only set the tone for the new Liberal government’s attitude toward economic development nationally but also how this region’s own economic development will shape up. First, the Prime Minister needs to clearly establish exactly what kind of product he proposes to ban. Liquefied natural gas seems to be exempt from the ban list, which will not be much comfort to the radical environmental fringe, but will be for proponents of the natural gas pipelines and cooling plants being planned for the coast. The big target, however, is crude oil. If he bans that from tankers it would end Enbridge’s Northern Gateway oil pipeline project, even if it meets all 209 conditions for project approval. The same would go for any other similar proposal. But what of refined petroleum products? Backers of a tanker ban point to the environmental damage from any spill of crude oil. That is not quite the case with refined products where the perception is that any spill would evaporate, effectively nullifying damage. Canada needs outlets for its energy. Consensus on refining crude close to its source for transport to the coast via a pipeline to waiting tankers might be possible.
Waxing poetic about seed exchange
M
y mother loved flowers but felt flower seeds were too frivolous to indulge herself in buying seeds for annuals each spring. She didn’t mind buying vegetable seeds from McFadden’s or other catalogue companies. But for flower seeds, Mom read the ads in the weekly Western Producer, a farm publication out of Saskatoon, where other flower growers offered tiny packets of their saved seeds in exchange for clean waxed paper bread wrappers. This practice of swapping seeds for bread wrappers began in the late 1940s when our local mercantile store started selling commercially baked sliced bread trucked in several times weekly from McGavin’s’ Saskatoon bakery. Our family rarely bought store bread – Dad derisively called it punk – except in harvest time it spared Mom the task of baking dozens of loaves to feed threshing crews with ten or more hungry men, and stacking roasting pans with sandwiches for afternoon field lunches. Also in August, Mom would buy a loaf or two for

CLAUDETTE SANDECKI our family’s lunch on the day we attended the North Battleford fall fair. Store bought bread was a big deal for the sandwichmaker, mostly me. As the assembler of our school lunches, I wished for McGavin’s, though Mom’s bread was superior in taste and slices could be spread with peanut butter without the slice ripping and curling on the peanut butter like a snowball rolled down a hill. McGavin’s loaves offered uniformly shaped slices. Mom’s loaves often overflowed the baking pan until they resembled hip roofed barns, with brown crusts that
tore unless delicately cut through with a bread knife. Plastic bags had yet to be invented; the only option was waxed paper in rolls. Consequently McGavin’s bread wrappings were treasured, so much so in our house – once Mom learned she could swap them for flower seeds – the bags were carefully opened flat so as not to damage them, washed and on a windless day hung to dry on the clothesline, then folded as carefully as the Peace Tower flag, ready to be stuffed ten at a time in an envelope for mailing. Gardeners who had seeds to trade advertised in the Western Producer. Whether they offered a choice of flower, or Mom took her chances, I can’t say. No money was exchanged. Mom’s cost was a four cent stamp and an envelope. In due time a ‘letter’ would arrive containing a two inch square of brown paper folded origami style. Inside the packet would be a teaspoonful of seeds, enough to plant a row in Mom’s flower area of the garden if an errant breeze didn’t whoosh the seeds from her hand. Often the seeds were tiny,

mere specks. These Mom lovingly planted by hand, walking along the furrow and sprinkling them in on a calm day. My older brother looked after the garden, from seeding vegetables like rows of corn and peas to strawberry plants near the back of the garden along a caragana hedge. Throughout the summer he hoed and pulled weeds. While the garden was mainly flat, it did spread wide at the bottom of a long gentle slope. One June a downpour sluiced down the length of the slope trenching a deep trough to the garden where it fanned like a delta across the rear vegetable portion transplanting many of Mom’s flower seeds from their proper front rows. Throughout the summer her flowers grew but helter skelter, from pink snapdragons in the turnips to blue bachelor buttons among the beans. Thinking back, I marvel at the simplicity of the transactions. But even more, I wonder what the bread wrappers were used for?

for the 350 gigantic LNG carriers that would traverse the estuary waters every year, would require hundreds of pilings along Flora Bank, on shouldering Agnew Bank, that would also seriously risk fish habitat by changing erosion and deposition patterns.
Dear Sir: Professor David Heinimann’s recent letter to The Terrace Standard published under the heading “So this is God’s idea” begs for a response to dispel some of the confusion generated by a rather suspect deconstruction of the idea of God. The good professor suggests the Israelites “settled” on Yahweh as their supreme God “in a time of trouble,” by which I presume he means the destruction of Jerusalem (and Solomon’s Temple) by the Babylonians in 586 BC. It is true the archaeological evidence suggests a plurality of religious practices common to this point and then, emphatically, the plurality stopped. Yahweh, however, was not merely one god among many. He had always stood in opposition to the Baals and Ashtoreths, jealously vying for His people’s fidelity. How distinct was Yahweh? Etymologically, Yahweh is from YHWH, known as the tetragrammaton, and is how God refers to Himself when He confronts Moses from the burning bush. One intriguing thing about YHWH is that it is unpronounceable (we follow linguistic convention to get Yahweh). It meant Moses couldn’t conjure up this God, a frightful proposition if the future involved an audience with Pharaoh and telling the most powerful man on earth what to do. The meaning of YHWH plays right into the scenario, since the general sense is “I am who I will be.” In other words, this God exists eternally now before the universe began and intends to show Himself for whom and what He is by what He does. He’s the one who pulls the trigger, not Moses and not us. This God is not an extension of the lusts and deceit of the human heart, but rather stands in opposition to it (c.f. Ps 2:1-6, Is 55:7-9). Distinct, indeed.

LNG spot ‘deadly’ for salmon
Dear Sir: The proposed Pacific North West/Petronas LNG project would deal a death blow to Skeena salmon and other wildlife if it were to proceed. Flora Bank, located adjacent to Lelu Island, is a fragile and critical habitat for approximately 279 million juvenile salmon (Dr. Barb Faggetter,
A
Phd Oceanography, R.P. Bio). Eelgrass beds located on Flora Bank provide essential food and shelter for the young salmon as they transition from fresh to salt water, and for many other species including herring, shellfish and waterfowl. If damaged, eelgrass habitats are extremely difficult to mitigate and restore. Flora
Bank has 40-60 per cent of the eelgrass in the Skeena estuary. Although Petronas has modified its plans to dredge Flora Bank, they plan to build a suspension bridge that will shade the light-sensitive eelgrass beds. Their proposed marine facility adjacent to Flora Bank, which would provide a berth
Canada needs tough, visionary leadership
s we wound down the longest federal election since 1872 it became evident that the Liberals were going to form government. At a minimum a minority government and a good chance of a slim majority. By the time early polls results were in for Eastern Canada it was clear Mr. Trudeau would have a strong majority. A school of thought is that a minority government would have kept the “young feller” on his toes. Minority governments are fraught with more politics and posturing than usual as the last election is refought and rehashed. Often with a minority government when all is said and done, more is said than done. Having a large majority government will provide Mr. Trudeau the opportunity to put in place a strong plan to promote Canada’s competitiveness and strengthen our economy.
The focus of Mr. Trudeau’s victory speech was hope, opportunity and creating a better Canada. In his speech, Mr. Trudeau mentioned the importance of people “having a fair chance at finding a job.” The very best thing for every Canadian of working age is a job. They need better than a fair chance at a job. They need a great chance. Their very best chance comes in a strong economy. During the campaign, the Liberals set out their vision for our economy. Their plan to invest in new infrastructure, if done strategically, will be positive for Canada’s economy. Smart debt can be a powerful and effective economic development tool. Spending ourselves out of recession will not work. Investing for the future will work. Canada cannot afford to return to structural deficits. Having ran a decidedly more positive campaign than his competitors, Trudeau clearly has res-
GUEST COMMENT
DAVID D. HULL onated with voters. Mr. Trudeau’s youthful optimism is a breath of fresh air in a political climate that has become as grey and depressing as the winter weather in Vancouver. Mr. Trudeau has a time limit to get the job done. There appears to be a “best before date” syndrome with politicians developing in Canada.
The shelf life can vary depending on circumstances but when the date comes, regardless of the sniff test, it has gone off and it is time to give it the toss. When the kids were at home I always explained to them that the “best before date” meant just that, “best before.” Not that on midnight of that day the milk turned into this unpalatable vile substance that could not be tolerated. Nope, not good enough for them. It had to go. Not drinking that. It would appear Mr. Harper politically expired. Mr. Trudeau will not be Prime Minister forever. His best before date is coming and his challenge is to make a difference before he sours in the fridge of the electorate. His majority will certainly help and the choices Mr. Trudeau made for his cabinet will also help. A person who is experienced in business is now the finance minister, a former Lieutenant Colonel in the armed forces is
the defence minister and a former B.C. aboriginal leader is justice minister. These three and four will bring a lot of experience to the cabinet table. Still, the Conservative dominated Senate could provide some consternation and Mr. Trudeau will need to tread carefully there. My mother used to always say, “If wishes were horses beggars would ride.” Great countries do not happen by chance. Wishes, hopes, and dreams for a strong, vibrant and economically sustainable Canada will not make it happen. Canada is at an important crossroads and the next few years will decidedly shape the foreseeable future. Canada needs leadership with fortitude and the strength of their convictions to make the really tough decisions and create a Canada that wins. David D. Hull is the Executive Director of the Cranbrook Chamber of Commerce and a former City of Terrace councillor.

This God is very far from being distant, abstract spiritual estrangement; and who of us “would have thought God’s saving power would have looked like this?” (Is 53:1). Simply put: this God is not the God of the philosophers, not a distant, abstract transcendence. To presume Jesus got caught up in a convoluted Greek fiction and paid the price for it is absurd. This, then, seems the crux of the matter: espousing an a priori (or prior assumption) commitment to naturalism leaves no alternative to dispensing with the very possibility of a transcendent Intelligence, even if, curiously, employing such principles of thought and logic as would themselves claim that same transcendence (see Frank Turek’s book “Stealing from God.”) At best, my friend, professor Heinimann, commits the classical error of confusing the effect for the cause. In conclusion, let us recall the words of Jesus to Peter after Peter’s epiphany that Jesus was the Christ: “Blessed are you... for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father who is in heaven. And I tell you... on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it (Mt 16:17-18). Note it was a revelation, not convoluted reasoning, that disclosed the Messiahship of Christ and that the “gates of Hades” (i.e. Greek religion and, by implication, philosophy generally) would not prevail before it. Peter had been initiated by the Self-showing of YHWH in Jesus. Peter’s real education had begun in earnest; he had had a thought that wasn’t his own; he had seen God’s history was other than ours. Peter went on to become a witness of things “no eye has seen, nor ear has heard” (Is 64:4). Or, to use the Greek word, he became a martyr. Irwin Jeffrey, Terrace, B.C.

ronmentally reckless, the Petronas LNG deal with the BC government is fiscally irresponsible. It exempts the corporation from taxes until their capital investment costs are recovered, at a cut tax-rate that provides an extremely low revenue benefit for BC taxpayers. According to an International Energy Agency report, the Asian demand for LNG has dropped and so have LNG prices, reducing the viability of LNG projects. The industry also faces intense competition on the global market from the U.S. and Australia. If Petronas packs up and leaves, they will have left behind a mess, with impunity, and for nothing.

SO2 and NOx emissions from the LNG plant would cause acidification of vegetation, fish and wildlife. Petronas plans to clear cut the island, the home of over 400 culturally modified trees, despite the fact that these trees are protected in BC by the Heritage Conservation Act. They play a significant role in the archaeological and historical record of Indigenous peoples. Petronas claims that they are not doing any work on Flora Bank. However, the occupiers -- the hereditary Lax Kw’alaams First Nation owners and their supporters -- have witnessed drilling taking place directly on Flora Bank, and on Oct. 28th, an LNG crew dropped cement anchors on Flora Bank. The occupiers are not protesting; rather they are practicing their Aboriginal rights and title by asking trespassers to leave. Besides being envi-

On this note, it would seem absurd to think Jesus required the genius of Socrates (and his eternal Idea) to be worthy of assassination. Socrates was trying to save knowledge and morality from falling into the abyss of arbitrary relativism (the heritage we now call post-modernism). Jesus irked the authorities in a number ways, but central to the case against him was his identification with YHWH, insisting his hearers would “remain in their sins if they did not believe (i.e., receive the revelation) that I AM” (Jn 8:23). Similarly, in a confrontation with the religious professionals, Jesus claimed “before Abraham even was, I AM” (Jn 8:58) - which was enough to have him murdered on the spot. No need to have the ghost of Socrates lurking in this crowd. Professor Heinimann’s position would have been better served by presenting an analysis of the Logos as it appears in the fragments of Heraclitus. After all, the first chapter of the Gospel of John is fashioned on it and the reinterpretation of Logos found in Philo of Alexandria, although John’s use would escape recognition by either of his two predecessors. His gospel is the attempt to present philosophically the meaning of the life, death and resurrection of a very Jewish Jesus (50 years after the events). The Word (or Logos) made flesh would prove a “stumbling block to the Jews, foolishness to the Greeks” (1Cor 1:23) because the Jews were looking for a warrior Messiah to triumphantly usher in Yahweh’s reign, and the Greeks wanted a logical account (i.e. a logos) of everything. Contending against John and those around him, they confused the categories of abstract thought with those of perception, like an unfortunate mixed metaphor, is a rather hollow leap of faith. For John, hiding in the concrete existence of a man brutally beaten and murdered was the activity of a transcendent God acting to retrieve man from his fate of

Sawmill curtails its operations
TERRACE’S ONLY sawmill has shut down one of its main wood processing units as log supply and foreign markets dwindle, which is the second slowdown in the last year. “This time the mill has cut production by half,” said Skeena Sawmills official Roger Keery last week. “Our sawmill isn’t running but the planner mill is running this week, so we are at partial operations and have been doing that for a bit now.” This summer the mill closed entirely for two months. Currently 45 people are working of the 85 usually employed in front end roles. The reason for the partial closure has to do with gaining adequate log supply and sales orders, Keery said. “We’ve been producing a much higher volume of material that we can ship directly from the mill, which is primarily green timbers so they are for Canadian customers, and whereas we were producing less than ten per cent of those, now we are producing over 50 per cent of those so they are shipped directly from the sawmill.” Keery said the ability of the mill business team to sign more buyers in Canada to counter the poor sales is a positive trend. “The folks at the mill have found very creative ways to make much higher volume of those than we ever have before and the market for them right now is quite good. It’s green wood and it’s used in the oil field and oil field supply services and also in the treating industry and commercial construction of docks and wharves, those kind things,” said Keery. Keery is uncertain when full production at the mill on Hwy16 west of the city can resume but he says that he sees an upswing happening in the Chinese market which he believes bodes well for future operations.

WORK IS underway to transform the regional district’s Thornhill dump into a transfer station, part of a comprehensive shift in the way waste is to be handled in the area.
From front
Waste The regional district’s master plan, in which the City of Terrace is a participant, in addition to the Thornhill dump conversion and the construction of the Forceman Ridge facility, will also see the closure of the city’s own dump located north on Hwy 113/Kalum Lake Drive. There will not be any public access to Forceman Ridge and that move, along with the closure of the city dump, means the Thornhill transfer station will be the only place for residents to take waste. Other items may be excluded from the Thornhill site as work continues there but no dates have been set, said Kujat. People are already being discouraged from taking E-waste, which is computers and other electronics, and beverage containers to the Thornhill location because there are already other places which will accept them, she added. Fridges and freezers, although they are large items, are still be ing accepted because they contain freon and dealing with that is a bit more arduous for the average homeowner to deal with, said Kujat.

■■ Bumpy ride MONTHS OF one-lane traffic during the night on the Skeena River bridges on the eastern entrance to Terrace have come to an end. The $850,000 project, and the bumpy join between the bridges and the road, involved replacing bridge joints. The project was made necessary after an annual inspection found deterioration in the joints. Transportation ministry official Darrell Gunn said there was no safety risk and the life of the bridges has been extended. The project started in early August and having crews working at night minimized the impact on highway traffic, said Gunn.

Local MP missing From front from phone book Overpass nearly finished ANYONE looking for the Terrace office phone number of Skeena - Bulkley Valley MP Nathan Cullen won’t find it in the latest Yellow Pages/Telus phone book. Up until this year his local contact information was included within four pages of federal government phone numbers ranging in alphabetical order from “arts, culture and heritage” to “youth.” But those four pages were reduced in the current phone book to just one page of seven general contact numbers in both official languages and Cullen’s Terrace office number is not one of those. “The federal government made the decision in early 2015 to cease agreements around the publication of contact information for its departments and agencies in the telephone directory,” says Fiona Story from Yellow Pages, the company who publishes directories in B.C. for Telus. She said many government listings can be found online through its various digital formats.
Story also added that Yellow Pages does plan to continue its print directories. Cullen’s contact information is not contained within the directory’s white pages nor its yellow page listings. Cullen is listed, however, in the region’s other phone directory called Action Pages. But that listing just contains his main Smithers constituency office phone number and the one for his office in Ottawa. Skeena NDP MLA Robin Austin’s Terrace contact information ca not be found within the white pages or yellow pages of the Yellow Pages/Telus directory either. But there are three and a half blue page listings for provincial government contacts and he is listed under “legislature” with not only his Terrace number but the one for his Kitimat office and 1-888 number. He can also be found in the Action Pages directory, a listing that includes both his Terrace and Victoria offices. The Action Pages also includes listings
for the other three MLAs who represent the northwest region. Austin’s Terrace assistant, Denis Gagne, said he would make inquiries about adding Austin’s number to the white page listings. There was no immediate response from Cullen’s office as to what steps it might take to fully include his contact information.
“A cyclist may also choose to dismount from their bicycle, and walk across the overpass on the sidewalks,” said a statement from the ministry. According to Terrace mayor Carol Leclerc, the transportation ministry is in charge of the overpass, so the city did not pushed for cycling lanes. “The ministry of transportation drives the intersection,” she said. “But there is definitely more pedestrian stuff that has been put in,” she said. Leclerc says the city’s official southside bike route is along Haugland Ave., not Hwy16.
There is a cost-sharing program called Bike BC for partnerships between the provincial and local governments to pay for bicycling infrastructure, but the province said this project was not one of them. “Bike BC funding does not normally get used for major highway projects,” the province said in a statement. According to the provincial government, Terrace has been involved in Bike BC in the past, most recently in 2012 for adding bicycle lanes on Kenney St. on the southside when that street was resurfaced and its shoulders were widened.

down Lakelse Ave. to the cenotaph. A prayer was given by Salvation Army Captain Deb VanderHeyden prior to the laying of wreaths. In addition to official wreaths from all levels of government, the Legion, RCMP, firefighters and groups such as the Boy Scouts and Girl Guides, as well as individual wreaths from families were all placed at the cenotaph. Members of the public, holding umbrellas, shielded the four cadets from the 747 Air Cadet Squadron posted at the corners of the cenotaph from the rain. Same as last year, an RCMP officer armed with a semi-automatic weapon kept watch during the proceedings. The practice was put in place following the Oct. 2014 shooting on Parliament Hill.

LNG site protest stance being called premature By JOSH MASSEY TWO LOCAL First Nations with interests in the area of a planned liquefied natural gas (LNG) plant on Lelu Island near Port Edward say opponents of the Pacific NorthWest LNG project who worry about its effects on Skeena River salmon should wait until the most recent scientific studies are done. The Kitselas First Nation and Kitsumkalum First Nation say they are disappointed they didnot have any consultation from the more that than 70 individuals and groups who co-signed a letter written by a key project opponent and released this week. The Kitselas and the Kitsumkalum along with the coastal Metlakatla and Gitxaala First Nations have formed their own authority which is studying the project separately from a federal review into what is considered the front runner of nearly 20 planned projects to export LNG to Asian customers. In a statement in response to the project opposition letter, the Tsimshian Environmental Stewardship Authority (TESA) says while it is “equally concerned about the potential impacts of the Pa-
cific NorthWest LNG project on the Skeena River fishery,” it expresses faith in the reviews currently underway. “We ensured the environmental process was put on hold in order to better understand and research the impacts on Flora Bank,” says the stewardship authority statement of a site near Lelu Island within the Skeena River estuary which is considered environmentally sensitive. “Additional scientific work is near completion and TESA is conducting its own independent review of this work. When we have all the scientific evidence and the answers to our questions, only then will we decide,” the statement added. The two letters come at a time when members and supporters of the Lax Kw’alaams First Nation, led by hereditary chief Donnie Wesley who wrote the opposition letter, have set up a camp on Lelu Island claiming title. The Lax Kw’alaams First Nation is not a member of the Tsimshian stewardship authority and says the location of the Pacific NorthWest LNG project is too risky given the importance of the Skeena River fishery.

River Kings trump Kitimat Demons 7-3 By JACKIE LIEUWEN THE RIVER Kings beat Kitimat 7-3 last Friday, and coach Rob Findlay says it was clean and smart playing that earned them the win. “It started out back and forth,” Findlay said. “It was a pretty even game in the first period. Then Kitimat started to get a few more penalties than us. We played pretty clean. The guys are really doing well with trying to stay out of the penalty box and just playing hockey.” Findlay added the goal differential might have been greater but goalie Patrick Leal was a bit hindered by the flu. “That slowed him down a bit at the beginning there, a couple goals went in, but he played really well despite being sick,” Findlay said. The first period ended 3-2 for the Kings, with two goals scored by Austin Legros and one by Tristan Murray. Chapen Leblond and Jarret Harrison each scored one in the second, ending that period 5-2, and Ben Reinbolt and team captain Steve Cullis scored in the third. Findlay said that after the first period, the Kings stepped up and dominated. “We put a pretty heavy forecheck on them and we had the puck in their end for a good part of the second and third period,” Findlay said. “We’ve been practising our forecheck really hard… but we looked after our defensive end really well. We got the puck out right
CAMERON ORR PHOTO
BEN REINBOLT set his sights on the net as he takes the puck up the ice at the River Kings game in Kitimat last Friday, Nov. 13. away and started moving it down to their end to put the pressure on them.” Findlay said he was not sure what to expect from the Kitimat team and that the Demons did not play as strongly as he expected. Halfway through the third, the Demons got into bad penalty trouble, with a player trying to start a fight and earning a game misconduct. The Demons got another pen-
alty at the same time, giving the Kings a five-on-three power play. Cullis said Kitimat has always been a strong team and seemed similar to previous years, but he felt the Kings outplayed them throughout most of the game. “For a Terrace-Kitimat game, I thought it was fairly tame, compared to some of the games we had against them in the past.” Cullis said he felt everybody on
the Kings played well – “it wasn’t just a few guys.” That is the strength of the Kings this year – a roster of strong and talented players. “You have no weak links on the ice at any point in time… There is a lot of young guys that are pretty quick and smart,” Cullis said. Findlay says the Kings have had a few veterans return to the team, and they have 24 players and a full
lineup, with a few players in and out of camp and a few returning soon from school. “Everybody is playing well – good team hockey – and not getting themselves in penalty trouble is making us look like a pretty disciplined hardworking team,” Findlay said. The Friday win gives the Kings a four win, two loss record. It was their third win in a row after beating Lac La Hache 7-3 on Nov. 8, and shutting out Prince Rupert 5-0 on Oct. 24. The Kings are lined up for three away games this month and on Saturday they face the Steelheads in Smithers. Cullis says the Kings have won and lost one against the Steelheads so far and they are near the top ranked team in the league, “It seems like it is always really tough to win on their rink for some reason. We didn’t win there at all last year and we lost our first one there this year, so we are hoping to change that this weekend,” he said, Findlay says he can not wait to play in Smithers on Saturday. “If we keep playing like we are, and everybody keeps just playing hockey and not getting into penalty trouble, I think we’ll do fine. It will be a tough game against Smithers… [but] we have got a good group that is ready to go. I’m expecting a win,” he said. The next home game for the Kings is Dec. 4 against the Prince Rupert Rampage.
Curling club engaging new curlers in funspiel By JACKIE LIEUWEN FOR NEW curlers, learning the rigid launch position and mastering the measured and gentle release of the rock is an art that looks much easier than it actually is. But rigid is hardly the way to describe curling, and the Terrace club director Leanne Billson says it is the fun social aspect that a lot of curlers enjoy. “It is a game you need to think about and learn more etiquette than anything else, but it is a lot of fun to be on a team and just be there for a good time,” she said. That fun, and the laughter of new curlers as they tried out different positions, filled the rink at the recent Funspiel at the Terrace Curling Club Nov. 7. Organizer Lisa Bulleid said there were 20 teams, mostly from local businesses, and it was a good mixture of new and novice curlers. “Everyone that came out seemed to have a good time,” she said. Sponsored by Sherwood Brewery, the goal of the event is introduce people to curling and enjoy some fun and
friendly competition and Bulleid says it often recruits people into the regular weekday league. Billson said numbers are up in the curling club this year, with a particular rise in junior curlers and new curlers in their 20s. “This is a good sign as this is the future of our club,” Billson said, adding that there are discounts for players under 30 and seniors which add extra incentive. The weekday leagues includes a Monday junior league and novice instruction program, Tuesday open league, Wednesday ladies, Thursday mens and Friday mixed league. Their next bonspiel is a turkey shoot on Dec. 20 which starts at 2 p.m. and lasts a few hours with beverages and finger foods, Billson said. New and seasoned curlers will have two to four tries to shoot for the button (bullseye). They earn points based on how close their rocks land and the person with the most points wins Christmas JACKIE LIEUWEN PHOTO dinner, Billson said. Anyone interested can contact the MEMORA NABESHIMA shoots a rock toward the house, while sweepers Hannah Badge curling club at info@terracecurling.ca. and Kallie Edwards follow it ready to sweep at the community funspiel Nov. 7.

Junior boys close volleyball season BOTH TERRACE junior boys volleyball teams had a development season this year, which wrapped up with zones here Nov. 7. Centennial Christian School beat Skeena Secondary in their final game, ranking fifth place overall with Skeena at sixth. Centennial coach Tim Block said they have a lot of grade nine students new to volleyball, so they focused on
N
learning systems, positions and basic skills. “We also had some great veteran leadership from our grade tens who helped keep a real positive atmosphere on the team,” he said. The top two teams in the junior boys zone were both from Smithers, with Bulkley Valley Christian School in first, and Ebenezer Christian School second.
obody should be surprised that BC’s independent information and privacy commissioner, Elizabeth Denham, has found that the government has been playing fast and loose with our freedom of information laws. Failing to keep adequate email records, undocumented searches, and the willful destruction of records runs counter to the fundamental principles of a democratically elected government that we all expect to be open and transparent. When Michele Cardario, the premier’s chief-ofstaff, permanently deletes almost all the emails she sent during the course of her work, we have a right to be outraged and to suspect that she has something to hide. But these behaviours are consistent with those of the scandal ridden Liberal led government of Gordon Campbell, and Premier Christy was a cabinet minister in that crew. Two scandals from Campbell’s tenure were the drunk driving escapade that would have forced the resignation of any politician with integrity, and the questionable sale of BC Rail, which led to the unprecedented RCMP raid on our legislature. After years of taxpayer-funded legal proceedings, the BC Rail affair came to a strange, abrupt halt just when Basi and Virk were set to spill all the beans and members of Campbell’s cabinet, including Clark, were about to be called to take the stand.

There are other even more daunting problems with Christy’s vision of an LNG Shangri-la. Horizontal drilling (fracking) has unsavoury seismic implications and, more importantly, it irredeemably pollutes trillions of gallons of an infinitely more valuable resource, fresh water. The pipe lines to carry the fracked gas are built to have an enormous environmental impact and the plants where the liquefaction takes place are proposed to be built in estuaries, the richest wildlife habitats anywhere. The process takes a huge amount of energy. All the energy from the proposed Site C Dam, which has huge environmental consequences, won’t quite power them. Perhaps, most importantly, if built, the LNG plants will more than double the provincial output of greenhouse gases. Unacceptable in this the age of climate change when greenhouse gasses are the mother and father of all dangerous pollutants. On the eve of the climate summit and the heels of the federal election, Christy’s dream will hit more snags, since the projects will have to undergo new, more rigorous environmental scrutiny by a federal government which pledged to restore the power of the Fisheries Act, remove the muzzles from scientists, and pay more heed to the wishes of First Nations opposed, for example, to the LNG plant proposed for the salmon rich Skeena estuary.

Protest called premature Kitselas Chief Councillor Joe Bevan, whose first nation along with the Metlakatla have already signed impact benefit agreements with Pacific NorthWest LNG, said he respects hereditary claim to Lelu Island but that every first nation deals with title differently. “There are five first nations who have exercised their aboriginal rights in and around the mouth of the Skeena River since time immemorial and we will continue to do that to this day,” said Bevan. “If he is claiming that it’s his, well that’s for the courts to determine,” said Bevan of Wesley. He added that Wesley has yet to contact him. Bevan says he wishes the protesting group had hired its own scientists to do a study of Flora Bank. “You almost have to be a hydrologist to understand exactly how this works, the ebbs and flows, and what have you. It’s really a technical report,” said Bevan.
“As for the other 70 groups that are claiming this is going to destroy the habitat, this is going to destroy the fishery, I just say ‘hey, I think you are a bit premature in your conclusions. I think you should wait for the full outcome,’” he said. Pacific NorthWest LNG has also refuted
claims from project opponents that ongoing environmental review work is affecting eelgrass on Flora Bank. “Eelgrass was dislodged due to a storm event, not due to any type of borehole sampling activity,” said Pacific NorthWest LNG’s Spencer Sproule by email.
“Furthermore, no drilling has or will take place on Flora Bank. The primary reason being no marine infrastructure will be placed on Flora Bank at all – therefore no soil investigation would be required to determine geological characteristics for the suitability to place bridge structures.”
Food programs backed KALUM COMMUNITY School Society will continue its variety of food programs and is looking to get a piece of the gaming money available for non-profit organizations. To that end, school society representatives asked for a letter of support from city council at its Nov. 9 meeting. Some of the society’s programs include the Good Food Box, FoodShare, School Lunch Program, Farmers Market nutrition coupon program, Food Skills for Families, the Fruit Registry and the Soup
Program in schools for students. The soup program in schools feeds 100 students at Skeena Middle School and 50 each at Caledonia and Parkside. Councillor Michael Prevost asked if the GoodFood Box had small and large sizes with different prices. Society representative Tracy Parhar said yes but the prices were probably going to rise in January due to the high cost of food. Council unanimously voted to write a letter of support for the society.

Poppy box stolen
TERRACE RCMP say they are forwarding charge recommendations after a poppy donation box was stolen from Safeway on Nov. 9. The charge recommendations to Crown Counsel lawyers involved a youth and a 20-year old man. On Nov. 11 at the cenotaph in front of city hall, police arrested a person who was not wearing appropriate clothing for the weather and who was acting erratically. Police say they attempted to speak with the man who was not cooperative. He was later released. In other police news from last week, officers arrested a 31-year-old man in the parking lot of McDonald’s. Police say a variety of drugs were seized and the man was detained for a court appearance.

Youth films take on timely issues By JACKIE LIEUWEN TERRACE YOUTHS produced three short videos this summer about issues they are concerned about and are airing the films tonight (Nov. 18) along with other youth-produced videos from across the world. The videos focus on water conservation, police as role models, and transgender inclusion, and were brainstormed and produced by 18 local youths in a four-day program last August. The program was student-led, with the youths first listing topics they were concerned about, then narrowing it down to three and splitting into three groups to tackle the video production. Terrace’s Ryan Kunar was the youth who inspired the water conservation video, and said the idea came from something he saw on Facebook about Nestle selling huge amounts of Canadian water. Water conservation is “a real problem that we are going to be facing… and it’s a problem that could get more publicity,” he said.
Producing the documentary-style video, Kunar said he was really struck by an interview with a first nations fisherman they met at the Skeena River. “His First Nations name meant provider for the village… and he said ‘this is where I get my fish, so that I can take it back to the village and back to my family… and provide for them and be more then just a figure.’” Kunar said the message of the video was that the luxury of clean water will run out if we do not take care of it properly. “Water is very important to everything we do. To preserve the luxury of water that we have today, we have to start making some changes – stop polluting, slow down on our water usage, things like that,” Kunar said. He says another thing he learned through the program was filming skills and techniques. Video is a “really neat way to get a message across,” he said. “Video production is so diverse in the sense that you can do so much with either half an hour or 30 seconds, because you can use audio or visual cues to portray something more than just the basic
idea.” Kunar said his group worked well together producing the video, with everyone throwing out ideas and open with their critiques. The other two videos portray a message through story. One film shows how people follow police examples, both good and bad, and the second film challenges how there are no transgender bathrooms. The program was led by filmmakers from a Vancouver-based non-profit called Reel Youth, and funded by the Greater Terrace Healthy Communities Committee. The goal of the program was to engage and empower youths, said Sasa Loggin, a representative of Skeena Diversity on the committee. The program also encouraged the youths to get involved in the City of Terrace Youth Advisory Committee, which is in the preliminary stages of producing a video about homelessness in Terrace. Kunar says he’s thinking about joining the committee and bringing up the idea of opening a recreation centre in Terrace.
He also hopes to get involved with the video project on homelessness. “People kind of go past [the homeless] as if they are just another person and it’s just whatever… But if you really think deeply about it, [what] if you were in their shoes? People hate being cold at night. If you don’t have a blanket it’s the most terrible thing, but then when you realize there are people sleeping outside without a blanket, without proper clothing, without shoes, that honestly is terrifying,” Kunar said. “In Terrace, I feel like if we work together, we can close that gap and reduce the amount of people who are homeless.” The Youth Advisory Committee will meet in January to discuss the video on homelessness. The videos the youths produced this summer, along with other short videos produced by youths in Canada and internationally, will air at the Skeena Middle School tonight (Nov. 18) at 7:30 p.m. They can also be viewed on the Skeena Diversity website at http://skeenadiversity. com/. Videos will be posted shortly after the public viewing.
Auction tops last year THE TERRACE Rotary Club annual auction topped last year’s amount raised to the delight of the auction chair. “In my opinion, it was very successful,” said Brian Downie. “We raised $45,000. We had great support and lots of bids and we had fun at the auction.” Having online bidding for the last five or six years has increased the auction’s reach to more people, added Downie. “When we started the auction, we had $20,000 actually [already bid] on those items,” he said. Adding in the cash donations of about $1,800 totals about $47,300. Most of the bids were made online – 3,100 bids – and another 600 or so were phone bids, he said. There were 672 buyers and at the start,
267 businesses had made donations, he added. “What this tells me is we get great support from donors in the business community and we try to give them recognition thru being online,” said Downie. Citywest is a great support, putting the auction on the community channel 10 and setting up the internet and phones. Rotarians do everything from being auctioneers to doing the technical work and they also do all the tasks that are depended on to make the auction successful, said Downie. Between the other major fundraiser for rotary, the Great Duck Race at Riverboat Days, this year raised about $90,000, he added. Planning for next year’s auction begins in August 2016.

BROODING AND Dangerous stars Janine Hamming as Margaret, Nancy Stone Archer as Mrs. Getz, Jon Stone as Sid and Kurt Smith as Kenneth Getz.
Theatre holds first double feature FOR ITS first time, Terrace Little Theatre offers audiences a double feature for its fall production. First up is Brooding and Dangerous, a comedy with a couple hurrying to move and get ready for the first day of work and meeting their neighbours who turn out to be a lot of trouble.
The second show, Anniversary, is more serious and will tug at heartstrings at least at its beginning. Fresh off her retirement as co-director for the Caledonia Senior Secondary musical theatre productions, Robin MacLeod directs Brooding and Dangerous, which came about when she was approached to
be on the theatre board and maybe do some directing. “It’s a play that I’ve done before a dozen years ago with kids so it’s nice to be doing it with adults,” she said, adding the cast is a great group to work with. Janine Hamming, who plays one half of a busy couple in the play, said it was great
to work with MacLeod again after working with her when younger. Anniversary is directed by Nathan Hoffart and stars Kristin Douma as Penelope, Anthony Pires as Matt, John Dafoe as Neal and Nicky McIntosh as Caroline. For more details on the two plays, see City Scene on page B5.

Radon caution issued to city

■■ O Canada HAVING LOCAL musicians play the national anthem at Terrace River Kings home games continues. Sasha Haldane, left, and Julia Yoo were among a group of Skeena Middle School students out for the home team’s game against Lac La Hache Nov. 8. The next River Kings home game is Dec. 4.
AS WE move into winter and people close their windows to keep out the cold and snow, there could be a killer in our homes that we do not even know about. Radon is a relatively harmless radioactive gas that dissipates easily when outside but if the ground beneath a home has radon, it can move into the home through cracks and cause health problems. It is the leading cause of lung cancer among nonsmokers, council heard at its Nov. 9 meeting from Megan Klitch of the Canadian Cancer Society. People do not know it is there if they do not test for it. The BC Lung Association tested 2,000 homes in Prince George and found that 30 per cent of them had levels above the accepted amount, at 200 becquerels per cubic metre, said Klitch. It is difficult to say how much risk there is for Terrace homes as the radon amount can vary between places. Northern Health offers testing kits for $25 that includes shipping and analysis of the sample. The best time to test homes is in the winter when windows are closed and the radon gets into homes and tends to stay there. There are very good measures to lessen radon in homes and all homes can be fixed, said Klitch. City council voted to look into getting the radon testing kits in bulk.
Province revamps its scholarships THE MINISTRY of Education has revamped its scholarship program to offer new awards that recognize a wider range of achievement including those for trades students. There are 55 new excellence scholarships at $5,000 which honour B.C. graduates and look at leadership, community service and commitment towards a particular career path. “There is no limit. If you are focused on being a doctor or a mechanic, as long as you have a particular career path you are pursuing [you can earn the scholarship],” said a ministry official. The new scholarships also look more comprehensively at grades, rather than exclusively at exam marks.
A division of
The old Passport to Education system offered scholarships of $250 to grade 10 and 11 students, and $500 to grade 12 students based on provincial exam marks. That program is being phased out, with the final grade 10 and 11 awards offered last June and the final grade 12 awards offered this year. The new program does not offer awards to grades 10 and 11 students, but instead offers $1,250 achievement scholarships to grade 12 students looking at their grade point average from grades 10 to 12. Continuing over from the old program are 20 awards of $5,000 for students with academic achievement and heading towards a teaching career.

Refugee sponsor group moves ahead A GROUP planning to bring at least one family of Syrian refugees to Terrace is moving closer to its goal. The group called Terrace Sponsors Syrian Refugee Families members said it was ready to accept a family or individual before the end of the year, said member Sasa Loggin after a meeting Nov. 10. One “Group of 5,” a term used by Citizenship and Immigration Canada for registration, has emerged from the members and will be using its own money to sponsor a family of four or five, said Loggin. “We are looking for more individuals to join and form another Group of 5 to sponsor another family, possibly a single female who may find it harder to survive,” said Loggin. The group had said earlier the cost was expected to be about $20,000 for the first year. There are two categories to sponsor refugees: government sponsored and private sponsorship. The new federal government has said it wants to bring in 25,000 Syrian refugees by year’s end. “This is still a private sponsorship and we depend on the government approval process so we have no idea when the family would be selected and their arrival time,” said Loggin. The Terrace group is working on submitting an application to Citizenship and Immigration Canada to request a refugee profile, said Loggin. Two events to raise money are in the planning stages for next February and March but no details are being given out yet. “There is one person who is determined to get a celebrity to come to Terrace, but we also have pretty cool local events we are planning,” said Loggin. Anyone wanting to help support the effort to bring refugees here, can donate money at the Northern Savings Credit Union under the “Refugee Sponsorship Account.” The group’s next meeting is Dec. 7. See Community Calendar on page B4 for more details.
Christmas hampers to have pool passes
MARGARET SPEIRS PHOTO
SALVATION ARMY captain Jim VanderHeyden talks to city council Nov. 9.
FAMILIES WITH teens receiving Christmas hampers from the Salvation Army here will get a little extra this year. Five hundred pool passes were approved at the Nov. 9 city council meeting after Salvation Army Captain Jim VanderHeyden asked for them, saying teens were the most difficult people to buy gifts for. “The numbers last year were 450 hampers for Christmas that we did and for 140 of those hampers, they have three or more children living in that family,” he told council. “I think that as far as teenagers go, they’re the hardest to buy for but they’re very sociable. A pool pass is a good gift – they can go meet up with their friends there at the pool instead of hanging out downtown.” Answering the question of how much the pool passes would cost, leisure services director Carmen Didier said if it was half student passes and half children, it would be about $1,500. That money would come from council’s unbudgeted account for unexpected circumstances that arise, which is put aside during council’s budgeting process each year. Heather Avison, the city’s CAO, said the account had sufficient funds for the pool passes.

Pamela Derrice Dow
Oct. 19, 1945- Nov. 8, 2015 We are deeply saddened to announce the passing of Pamela after a long struggle with cancer. Pam leaves behind her beloved husband and best friend Don, her children Susie (Shayne), Cindy (Jody), Colin and Jennifer (Jim), and grandchildren Jayme, Megan, Logan, Braydon, Zoey and Jack. She is also survived by her brothers Len, Peter, Charles, Geoff, William Horne and their families. Pam devoted her life to helping children and those who needed support. She brought joy and humour to all who knew her. Pam's greatest pleasures were being with her loving family, gardening and cooking. At Pam's request, no service will be held. There will be a gathering for family and friends at a later date. Two thumbs up and a whistle on your journey, Pam.

Memoir on young life ‘captivating’ By JOSH MASSEY TERRACE RESIDENT Al McGowan has written the first instalment of his memoir, “Riding in Style”, about the 25 years of his life spent growing up in southern B.C. It is a very personal tale that shows the intersection of the person and public history, with monochrome photos of his family members and himself that have a nostalgic feel, and stories of growing up in the B.C. industrial landscape. McGowan’s life spanned the ups and downs of the mid-20th century, bucking him on the waters of both poverty and prosperity in Vancouver and elsewhere. Some of his early life was spent on his grandfather’s farm in Princeton, and he observes the behaviour of the cows, for instance seeing the cow’s habit of “dropping” a calf in the brush as an ancient instinct tempered by the modern intelligence of the cow who eventually returns and leads the calf back to the barn: “This is a fight between ancient instinct, dating back to when cattle ran wild, and logic. Logic has the cow and calf safe and sound in a nice warm barn.” McGowan tells stories of growing up in a “boomer” family—not baby boomer but industrial boomer, as in families that moved around the province from one industrial town to the next. For those who may not be as interested in reading about growing up in southern B.C., the writing style will captivate, as McGowan has a flare with language and writes in a style that has a humorous, down-toearth philosophical tone to it, and gritty realism that at times borders on the nauseating. The book is also
buoyed by various images, both moments in McGowan’s life as well as an interesting diagram depicting how a person can get sucked into and killed in an ore bin at a mine site.
The story has juicy tell-all moments that make one wonder if anyone will be offended by the autobiography. For instance the writer discloses that his grandfather, “made the
mistake of being found in bed with the wife of the head of the Presbyterian Church.” For those who like a book that has its icky moments, the extended “Sex on the Farm” sec-
tion which goes on for several pages about his personal experiences breeding livestock will be of interest. And there will also be some historical details that resonate with
contemporary life, such as when Al moves up to Kitimat, and because of the 1,400 workers arriving for the new smelter work, “I first stayed on a floating bunkhouse in the harbour...”
