Homeless help expands By MARGARET SPEIRS IT’S A Wednesday night in George Little Park, chilly with snow on the ground. You can see your breath and your fingers and ears get cold quickly. Music wafts through the air next to a travel trailer where warm jackets and sweaters have been collected and laid out to be chosen for those who need one or two. People are offered sandwiches, snacks and coffee. They talk, laugh and enjoy each other’s company. Men are offered a bag of toiletries, packed in a sealable plastic bag or kids lunch bag from a local restaurant. It has been this way each Wednesday night since last month, organized by four friends who also draw on the assistance of others. The group is called the Field of Faith Foundation, a new non-denominational Christian group with a goal of helping the homeless. Group founders Kim Alm, Troy Idler, Barb Bond and Dan Lusby would often talk about what they should be doing for the homeless until they decided this year the day before Halloween that it was time to just do it. So they chose Remembrance Day Wednesday and went out to the park to launch their homeless outreach. On this Wednesday, their second in the park, Alm and two others, Tarea Roberge and Jennifer Lepage, gather around a young girl. She has wet feet and wet shoes. They give her a pair of donated socks. There is no boots for her so they put plastic wrap around her newly dried and socked feet and put back on her wet shoes. She also gets a warm jacket, a sandwich and coffee. A couple of men take seats in lawn chairs arranged

Alm says she has ordered a propane fire pit so the next time, they’ll have a place to sit and relax that is warm. She and the others ask the men their names and chat with them. Later that evening, Alm goes to pick up some men to play some music. Three men climb out of her truck – they used to live on the streets but now have a place to live. The trio, Tom, Willy and Arthur, sing a prayer song from Haida Gwaii that Tom says they sing every day because it helps them stay sober. Tom drums and sings while Willy and Arthur sing and play rattles. Before they are done
singing, Tom puts his head down and softly cries. When the song and a prayer are done, he says that he cannot believe that someone cares about him. Kim and Barb hug him. “They know the devastation and sadness of the street and are passionate about speaking life into the homeless and addicted,” says Alm later. “God has worked powerfully in their lives.” In a separate interview, Alm recounts walking down the street one day with her son, Matthew, 8. They saw Gary, a wellknown street person and Matthew said, “look at that hobo.”

Homeless get boots WITH COLD weather having come early this year, local groups have come together to keep the feet of homeless people warm – a donation drive driven by money received earlier this year by local lotto millionaire Bob Erb. “This year we are doing this for the boots, the people that are in need of the boots,” says homeless outreach worker Mike Watson of the Terrace and District Community Services Society (TDCSS). There were a total of 48 pairs available last week for those who had signed up to receive them. It was the Erb seed money that financed the purchase and TDCSS then leveraged that amount into buying the allweather rubber boots at half price from Canadian Tire. It was the Ksan Society who organized the boot drive in Brolly Square over the course of one day during Homelessness Action Week Oct. 11 to Oct. 17. Homeless needing boots could come out and sign up for a pair, and Ksan also provided a pair of socks to go along with the boots. Now that the boots are being distributed to those who signed up for them, others want a pair as well and Watson said TDCSS is working on another order. “Some people are coming in and seeing people get boots and they want them too, but if they have an income then they don’t get them,” said Watson, Every Monday TDCSS also picks up donated clothing from the Salvation JOSH MASSEY PHOTO Army that is given out at the All Nations Centre on Sparks, the same location DENNIS MARTIN tries on some new boots at the All where Ksan also provides 20 sleeping Nations Centre. With him is Terrace and District Complaces during extreme weather periods. munity Services Society worker Mike Watson.

TURBINES INSIDE the AltaGas McLymon Creek powerhouse, one of three AltaGas run of river projects along the Iskut River.
Power project up and running ALTAGAS FINISHED the third of its three northern Iskut River hydroelectric projects slightly ahead of schedule last month despite problems with the weather and other challenges. At a planned 66 megawatts, the McLymont Creek project is smaller than the first one done last summer, Forrest Kerr at 195 megawatts, and it is larger than the third, Volcano Creek at 16 megawatts done late last year. Finished by the first part of October, McLymont Creek met conditions for full commercial power sales to BC Hydro on Oct. 25. AltaGas president David Harris said approximately two months of power generation was lost because of civil construction challenges at the McLymont Creek water intake. But the project ultimately finished ahead of a revised schedule. Harris is crediting the various subcontractors for completing the project within a revised construction schedule. “The project team worked together and did an excellent job working around the challenges that mother nature presented, such as rain and flash flooding, to not only finish the project on time, but one month ahead of schedule,” said Harris. The flooding took place in the spring and there were also challenges with road access. “The safe commissioning of McLymont marks the final stage in our $1 billion northwest [hydroelectric] projects, the most significant construction undertaking in AltaGas’ history,” said Harris. One of those on the McLymont Creek project described consistent meetings between contractors to work out non-conflicting schedules and work commitments. Those meetings began in the spring when the rain first caused problems at the project site, said
Philippe Germain from BV Electric of Telkwa, B.C. “In my 10 years of project experience, never before have I seen contractors so regularly optimize their two-week look ahead project schedules,” he said. BV Electric was the main electrical contractor for McLymont Creek and also for the Volcano Creek and Forrest-Kerr projects. Germain said constant communication was particularly crucial to contractors understanding the requirements of each other. “No one wanted to be there when winter weather would have set in,” he said. “The costs would have risen and also the challenges.” Germain said health and safety regulations continued to be followed rigorously and they did due diligence on work quality. “For a smaller company working on a larger project, we gained a lot of experience,” he said. The three AltaGas projects feed power to BC Hydro’s Northwest Transmission Line and then into the provincial grid via a connecting line running to the provincial crown corporation’s Bob Quinn substation. AltaGas is selling the power it generates to BC Hydro and it is also paying for a portion of the Northwest Transmission Line’s construction costs by way of an annual fee. Based in Calgary, AltaGas has other interests in northwestern B.C., including its ownership of the natural gas delivery utility Pacific Northern Gas. It is also the main Canadian partner in a planned small liquefied natural gas project at Kitimat called Douglas Channel LNG. Gas for that project, which would liquefy natural gas on a floating platform, would flow through the existing Pacific Northern Gas pipeline which services the northwest.

New housing has features to make them easier to inhabit

switch. “Look. It’s not something you even notice.” But someone in a wheelchair would because the switch is four inches lower than the standard height, just as they would notice a nearby electrical outlet that is four inches higher than the standard. These are two of the design and construction examples that Bal, a Terrace realtor, and her husband Rav, have incorporated into a singlefloor duplex new-build on the Bench residential area. They hope to build more. In doing so they have their eye on what might be a niche market now but one which they are convinced will grow – purpose-built private housing for people with physical disabilities now or for those who want a place that already has what they will require as they age and their physical condition changes. Door handles throughout each duplex are of the level type for ease of handling as opposed to knobs. The laundry area is plumbed for a side by side washer and dryer as opposed to ones which can be stacked. “I know stackable washers and dryers are popular but even I have trouble reaching way back for that one sock and the knobs (on a dry-

WENDY HADLEY demonstrates the extra width of a hallway in a duplex designed to make living easier. er) can be hard to reach,” says Hadley of the reason for the diffence. Toilets are of the comfort height variety and have straight sides, eliminating the need for a lot of time on hands and knees while cleaning around. During construction, the walls around toilets, showers and bath tubs were reinforced for easier installation of grab bars if needed later on. Doorways to all of the rooms are three-feet wide making wheelchair or walker use easier. The ensuite bathrooms have enough in-
terior room to make it more comfortable and efficient for a care aid to assist someone. Ceramic tile may be popular in kitchens elsewhere but in this duplex, the tile is a softer and warmer vinyl, making it easier on the knees and legs of people while they are doing the dishes or cooking. The tile is grouted to give it the appearance of ceramic and it has a slightly textured surface so that tips of canes or crutches won’t easily slip. There are also no transition strips be-
tween tile and carpeting, removing the slight bump that might impede a walker or wheelchair. “Because of the building code there is a lip from the outside to the inside but a ramp can take care of that,” notes Hadley. There are no stairs from the garage to the inside and in each duplex there is plenty of space when entering the house from the garage to maneuver a walker or wheelchair. Hadley is a relatively new realtor and credits her realtor father with first coming up with
the idea for this kind of housing. “Now we’ve just taken it from there,” said Hadley as she went through the list of design and construction features meant for easier living as people age. Lighting is either CFL or LED which not only reduces living expenses but means less maintenance because of their longevity. A main hallway is four feet wide which, as with other construction features, makes for easier use of wheelchairs and walkers. “Our contractor Ron
Nuis (of RCT Contracting) even suggested that next time we could reinforce those walls so that if railings or grab bars were needed at some time, they’d again be easier to install,” said Hadley. She’s had more ideas from other people too. “People have asked about a lazy susan so that you don’t have to reach way back,” Hadley noted of kitchen amenities. There are examples in the region of social or public housing in tune with people with disabilities or physical lim-
itations. In Terrace that list includes the rental Market Estates complex owned by BC Housing and the five new units added to the Tuck Ave. Seniors Housing complex last year. But the amount of private housing of the same kind is small. City of Terrace development services director David Block says there are examples of renovations such as adding ramps to provide access at homes with stairs. He notes however that such renovations are costly and often result in a less than attractive dwelling. The building standard with attributes such as those of the Hadley duplex even has a name – visitable, says Block. “The costs to construct new dwellings, detached or multi, to visitable housing standards at time of new construction is usually a very nominal, if any, increase. Research has shown this added cost to a new $400,000 single family dwelling would be no more than $2,000,” he said. Both Block and Hadley point out that many of the attributes of this kind of housing – no stairs, for example – would appeal to people of all ages and abilities. A visitable house is an investment as well as a purchase when considering the possibility of a later resale, said Hadley.
Homeowners have eye on future users WHEN it came time for Larisa Tarwick and John Jensen to sell their rural acreage and move into town, they had the opportunity to have their new home built exactly the way they wanted. There is an extra inch and a half of rigid foam insulation on the exterior walls and more blown in insulation in the roof which has a different pitch than in the original plans. The windows are triple pane and a heat pump adds to energy efficiency. “They say you could heat this with a candle, but I’m not so sure,” said Jensen. But what makes the house their own is the decision to make it a more user-friendly place to get around.
The entire living area is on one floor, eliminating stairs for people with mobility issues. Doorways are wider and so are the hallways so that someone using a walker or wheelchair will not be impeded. The transition between tile in a sunroom and the kitchen and hardwood in other sections in the house is smooth – there are no transition strips for a walker or wheelchair to come up against. “We built it for us, yes, but also for somebody else as a selling feature,” said Tarwick of changes made. Even the island in the kitchen is smaller than first called for so there is more room to maneuver, said Jensen.

EDITORIAL
Refugees FLIP through the pages of any Canadian phone book and you’ll find it full of last names that aren’t really Canadian. There’s Jones, a Welsh name. Jakubowski, Polish. Tkachuk, Ukrainian. Wong, Chinese. Dosanjh, south Asian. Behind each of these names there’s a story of someone’s parents or grandparents or great grandparents climbing on a ship back in the day or in more recent times, a plane, and coming to Canada. Whether by government design – an example being the recruitment of Eastern Europeans to farm the Prairies through the inducement of land grants – or fleeing the ravages of wars or conflicts or oppression – Vietnam, the Balkans, Uganda, etc. – the point is that someone along the way stamped “approved” and opened the door to a new life. It is in this context that the admittedly overly-enthusiastic plan of the federal government to bring in 25,000 Syrian refugees must be viewed. To overly connect this humanitarian effort with the attacks in Paris and the greater battle that must be waged against ISIS would be wrong. What it really exposes is the immediate tendency of any group of people to judge others, saying “I don’t like your colour, your religion, the way you dress.” If that had been official policy all along, today’s Canadian phone books would be awfully slim.

or decades like a school kid needing a hall pass from the principal to leave a classroom, aboriginals in Western Canada were confined to their reserves unless they carried a pass issued and signed by their local Indian Agent. If police found them off the reserve and without a pass, they could be taken into custody and escorted back to the reserve, or worse – thrown in jail. The pass showed the person’s name, treaty number, home reserve, how many days they were permitted away from the reserve, and their purpose for leaving the reserve. The pass also listed any family members who might be accompanying the holder. Even a visit to a nearby neighbour or relative required the Indian Agent’s formal permission. The Canadian government aimed to transform Indians into farmers, a hopeless endeavour given their centuries old lifestyle, and especially as they would leave the reserve for up to six weeks to attend a Sun dance. The passes were intended

CLAUDETTE SANDECKI to curtail this absence but proved ineffective. The issuing of passes began following the Riel Rebellion of 1885 near North Battleford, Saskatchewan. At that time Ottawa was inviting Europeans, especially farmers to immigrate and settle the west, something Europeans would be loathe to do if they perceived they might be moving to an area of native unrest. Ottawa also worried that allowing the aboriginals to mingle with the whites could lead to alcoholism, prostitution, butchering of ranchers’ cattle and might even extend to their joining forces with
American Indians to initiate an uprising in Canada. Yet pass holders were permitted to own and carry a gun for hunting or trapping. Natives grew to ignore these passes more and more until they were useful only for monitoring their movements. If they crossed into America any horses they took across the border were noted on the passes; when they returned to Canada with extra horses they were levied a fee. The pass became a means for vet inspection of incoming horses to check for animal diseases. Passes were a violation of treaty promises, never legal or constitutionally valid as agents and Mounties were well aware. Still the government continued to print them and had agents pass them out until as late as 1930. As aboriginal resistance to the practice increased, Mounties refused to enforce the “law” fearing their powers of moral suasion with the Indians would be damaged if push came to shove and they had no legal leg to stand on. I grew up near North Battleford. Occasionally a family of aboriginals would show

up at our farm in winter to sell frozen white fish caught in a nearby lake. They would camp for lunch half a mile away just off the road and heat a can of pork and beans in a small campfire. (We’d find the burned can.) In the fall if the crop was good Dad might hire several men to stook grain. They’d arrive in several wagons, tether their teams and usually more than one extra horse, as well as a colt or two; women set up several tents and cared for their kids. There was always a quiet, vaguely surreptitious air about them. Now I know why. Chances are they still felt vulnerable without a pass. Remarkably, I first heard of these passes when a news article in the November 12, 2015 issue of “The Battlefords News Optimist” reported a recent North Battleford showing of a 51-minute investigative documentary titled “The Pass System” based on Glenbow Museum archives and interviews with elders who had had to carry passes.

The Mail Bag Rivers are too crowded
Election contained much good news
Dear Sir: I’m responding to Montana resident Bill Schneider’s recent letter to the editor commenting on the costs of fishing for non-Canadians. The world is changing with more and more people, which is increasing the number of anglers. I was a member of the last round of the Provincial Quality Waters process six years ago, where we searched to find solutions to manage the growing number of anglers of all stripes and nationalities, guided and non-guided on our summer run steelhead/trout rivers in the Skeena watershed. The process was consensus based and was difficult and complex. We quickly found out we would be dammed if we did or did not agree to some bold recommendations to the provincial government over how anglers should be managed on the rivers of concern. Some of us nearly walked out of the process, but we persevered and made a number of ground breaking decisions. I take my hat off to the provincial Ministry of Environment staff at the time who had the courage to support our recommendations and found the wherewithal to gain approval from the provincial government for most of those recommended changes including a couple that we could not reach agreement on. We had no bad feelings toward tourists or the tourist economy, in fact we had tourism representatives, angling guides and many of us had at one time or another been in the tourism business as operators or employees who served on the three working groups. We did agree to many of the new rules that are a concern to Mr. Schneider but it is the responsibility of the province to resolve issues to do with administration and management of the system.

Dear Sir: Now that the 2015 federal election is over, my hat goes off to all of the over 1,700 people who put their names forward to what probably was the longest job interview of their lives. My congratulations to the 338 people who were selected to represent the people of Canada. Not only did the job interview last 78 days, it is a position that after you get hired (by us, the voters) you can be looked down on because of the actions of some of your fellow coworkers. It can be a difficult and at times a thankless job. Now, as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau pointed out, it is better and more productive to have inclusive policies and cooperate with each other than to have divisive and fearful policies. Yes, we are all neighbours and should be able to live with each other and respect each other. Without cooperation and a willingness to share, the human race wound not have survived. Canada has a long history of inclusiveness and willingness to share, going back hundreds of years and longer (first contact with Europeans was over a millennia ago). What would the world look like if the families and neighbours on streets would not get along with each other? We know the answer. It is called civil war or worse. On a separate note, there was higher voter turnout, in some cases much higher. That gives me hope for democracy in this, our great country of Canada, and shows me and the world that Canadians do care about democracy. Martin Holzbauer, Thornhill, B.C.
What is madness to us is logical to ISIS
s always after a major terrorist attack on the west, the right question to ask after the slaughter in Paris is what were the strategic aims behind the attack? The question requires first getting your head around the concept that terrorists have rational strategies, but once you have done that, the motives behind the attacks are easy to figure out. It also becomes clear that the motives have changed. The 9/11 attacks on the United States in 2001 followed the classical terrorist strategy of trying to trick the target government into over-reacting in ways that ultimately serve the terrorists’ interests. Al-Qaeda’s goal was to sucker the United States into invading Muslim countries. Al Qaeda was a revolutionary organization whose purpose was to overthrow existing Arab governments and take power in the Arab countries, which it would then reshape in accord with its extreme Islamist ideology. The trouble was that Islamist movements were not doing very well in building mass support in the
Arab world, and you need mass support if you want to make a revolution. Osama bin Laden’s innovation was to switch the terrorist attacks from Arab governments to western ones, in the hope of luring them into invasions that would radicalize large number of Arabs and drive them into the arms of the Islamists. His hopes were fulfilled by the U.S. invasion of Iraq in 2003. Once the western troops went in, there was a steep decline in terrorist attacks on western countries. Al-Qaeda wanted western troops to stay in the Middle East and radicalize the local populations, so it made no sense to wage a terrorist campaign that might make western countries pull their troops out again. The resistance in Iraq grew quickly and and attracted Islamist fighters from many other Arab countries. The organization originally known as “Al-Qaeda in Iraq” underwent several name changes, to “Islamic State in Iraq” in 2006; then to “Islamic State in Iraq and Syria” – ISIS for short – in 2013, and finally to
GUEST COMMENT
GWYNNE DYER simply “Islamic State” in 2014. But the key personnel and the long-term goals remained the same throughout. The man who now calls himself the “Caliph” of Islamic State, Abu Bakr al-Bahdadi, first joined “Al-Qaeda in Iraq” and started fighting the U.S. occupation forces in Iraq in 2004. But along the way the strategy changed, for ISIS eventually grew so strong that it conquered the extensive territories in Syria and Iraq that
now make up Islamic State. Popular revolutions were no longer needed. The core strategy now is simply conquest. In that case, why are Islamic State and Al-Qaeda still attacking western targets? One reason is because the jihadi world is now split between two rival jihadi franchises that are competing for supporters. Spectacular terrorist operations against western targets appeal to both franchises because they are a powerful recruiting tool in jihadi circles. But Islamic State has a further motive: it actually wants western attacks on it to cease. It is a real state now, with borders and an army and a more or less functional economy. It does not want Western forces interfering with its efforts to consolidate and expand that state, and it hopes that terrorist attacks on the west may force them to pull out. France is a prime target because French aircraft are part of the western-led coalition bombing Islamic State, and because it is relatively easy to recruit terrorists from France’s large, im-
poverished and alienated Muslim minority. Russia has also become a priority target since its aircraft started bombing jihadi troops in Syria, and the recent crash of a Russian airliner in Sinai may be due to a bomb planted by Islamic State. So the outlook is for more terrorist attacks wherever Islamic State (and, to a lesser extent, Al-Qaeda) can find willing volunteers. Western countries with smaller and better integrated Muslim communities are less vulnerable than France, but they are targets too. Putting foreign ground troops into Syria would only make matters worse, so the least bad option for all the countries concerned is to ride the terrorist campaign out. Horrendous though the attacks are, they pose a very small risk to the average citizen of these countries. Statistically speaking, it’s still more dangerous to cross the street, let alone climb a ladder. Gwynne Dyer is an independent journalist whose articles are published in 45 countries.

More angling regs predicted That includes fees that have evolved over time. I agree that it should be easier to obtain licences and I also agree that the word “alien” is a poor choice as a definition and should be replaced by non-Canadians or non-resident anglers. The new system is working but not without problems, particularly over what has happened on the Zymoetz/Copper River where resident anglers have replaced non-resident unguided anglers on weekends. The river is now more crowded than I have ever seen during my 41 years in Terrace, both on weekends and during the week. The tourism industry is flourishing in a different way, with new anglers from
other countries accepting our generosity, realizing that nowhere else in the world is there such a high quality, wild summer run steelhead river accessible by motor vehicle. There are no private land issues and anglers can fish from dawn to dusk for four days or be guided for six days. They can camp out where ever they choose or stay in three forest service recreation sites for as long as they wish. Our generosity goes beyond common sense. If it continues, the quality of the experience will diminish and no one will be happy. During the process we agreed using a trial term, that non-resident anglers fishing the Kitsumkalum River be guided to determine
its feasibility as a management tool. The province rejected that recommendation. Someday it will be revisited as a means to control illegal guiding and where there are too many non-resident anglers. I predict that a future lottery system to control resident and non-resident angler numbers will also be considered. A catch and release daily limit of one to four steelhead per day will be implemented. Much more restrictive angling regulations will have to be instituted to protect and preserve relatively small populations of steelhead indigenous to rivers such as the Copper that are not very productive.

Aboriginal graduation rate improving By ALICIA BRIDGES MORE ABORIGINAL students are graduating from the Coast Mountains School District, revering a downward trend dating back to 2009. The graduation rate for aboriginal students in was 62.2 per cent for the school year ending last June, up from 43.7 in 2013-014. School district superintendent Katherine McIntosh attributed the change to three strategic changes, starting with an increased focus on assessing students’ progress and intervening when needed. It is because of “the
fact that we’ve taken an in-depth, renewed focus on figuring out where kids are at with their learning and then designing those interventions,” she said. “We are starting to take a really deep look at it and talk about it, right down at the classroom and school level, not just at the district level, I think that has contributed significantly.” The second involves creating new literacy and numeracy strategies, which are being prepared by teachers from within the school district. The third phase relates to engaging aboriginal students and
ensuring their curriculum is relevant. To do that, the school district is working with University of Victoria indigenous education professor Lorna Williams. “[Williams] is working with us to understand who our aboriginal learners are and what we need to do to ensure that they are successful,” said McIntosh. She said other measures to improve aboriginal graduation rates included helping teachers incorporate indigenous learning principles and developing shared goals in agreements with First Nations communities.

teachers to implement the new indian residential schools curriculum, which was a recommendation of the Truth and Reconciliation Committee report released in June. The curriculum developed by the First Nations Education Steering Committee is currently being tested in Grade 5 classes. Next year it will be mandatory in Grade 5 classes and introduced in Grades 10, 11 and 12. Casgrain said the content is aligned with the ministry’s new curriculum for students in kindergarten to Grade 9, which includes First Nations education in
cipal of aboriginal education Agnes Casgrain said the school was also improving the teaching of aboriginal issues to all students. She is working with
every grade. “That’s been a real shift for us,” she said. “It has been taught before but it’s nice to have it in a very structured, strategic way.” B.C. auditor general Carol Bellringer has just released a report into the Ministry of Education’s delivery of aboriginal education. She recommended the ministry collaborate with school boards, superintendents and aboriginal leaders to develop a strategy for improving aboriginal student outcomes. McIntosh said she agreed with the auditor general’s recommendations, saying there was
a moral imperative to create systemic change. “We know that historically, the education system the way it is has not met the needs of all of our aboriginal learners so my belief is if it’s not us now then who and when is going to take on that responsibility to start creating systemic change so that our system works for all learners,” she said. Based on those recommendations, the superintendent said the school district was moving in the right direction, however she said maintaining an upward trend in aboriginal graduation would be hard work.

■■ Early Christmas carols SALVATION ARMY kicks off Christmas Kettle Campaign at Canadian Tire Nov. 20. From left, Hannah McMillan, Emily Auckland, Russell Maxwell, Jonathan Hartman and Terrace Salvation Army captain Jim VanderHeyden. Kettles will also be out at Save on Foods, Safeway, Walmart and the BC Liquor Store.
Royal Purple focuses on children A TEEN who was at her dad’s house when it caught fire and lost her personal belongings will be able to replace them thanks to the Royal Purple/Elks, who give money to children who need it in a variety of ways. “It’s all kids,” says Royal Purple past-president Sharon Daumont, adding that the finances come from fundraising and provincial gaming money. All the gaming money received has to be given away except 10 per cent which is kept for operating costs, she said. So Brooke Therrien, 14, received $500, which is the maximum amount allowed to go to a fire victim under
19, said Daumont. Money can go for emergency uses like meals, accommodation or other needs people have at the time, she added. Because there was a provincial Elk coming into town for a dinner, she got dinner too as it was a great time to give the cheque to her, said Daumont. If children are in need of medical expenses, then the amount given is determined by the parents’ yearly income, she said. Youth groups who want to use Elks Hall can have the rental fee paid by Royal Purple. Money has also been given to
youth groups going out of town for a bowling event for example. The biggest donation goes to children with speech and hearing problems, she added. Members put in $200 each to the fund, called the Royal Purple Fund for Children. In summer, Royal Purple holds a kids’ day at the park which is free for children and includes hot dogs, ice cream and beverages and free activities throughout the day. Coming up is the free breakfast with Santa for children in the community and their parents who can also get breakfast, said Daumont.
Children can get their photos taken with Santa too. This year’s is Dec. 13 from 10 a.m. to noon at Elks Hall. Royal Purple would also love new members. There are 24 right now but most are in their senior years so younger people, or even new members in general, would keep the group going, added Daumont. Also Royal Purple used to be an auxiliary to the Elks but now is part of the Elks. If families with children who have needs would like to ask for money from the Royal Purple, they can call Daumont at 250-635-6955.

Donations needed for Christmas hampers By JACKIE LIEUWEN THE SALVATION Army is gearing up to gather donations for its annual Christmas hampers, given to provide a few holiday extras for less-fortunate locals. “Sometimes no matter how hard you work, especially if you are a single mom, you can afford to live, but it’s those extra things [you cannot afford],” said Captain Deb VanderHeyden who, with husband and fellow captain Jim, took up their posts with the Salvation Army in Terrace this summer. “It’s our joy and our pleasure to be able to provide those extra things for people at Christmas time, and in that way, it is a tangible way that we can love them.” VanderHeyden said their desire to love and care flows out of being people of faith. The Salvation Army anticipates receiving applications for just over 500 hampers this year. They will contain gift cards for groceries and gifts for children and families. VanderHeyden said the Army used to gather and pack food donations, but giving gift cards is nicer as it allows people to choose foods they like. The Bell Media toy drive and the hamper program,
with families or businesses adopting a family, helps collect gifts for children and teens. Teens can be particularly difficult to find gifts for and often may be forgotten by people who concentrate on children’s gifts instead. VanderHeyden suggests gift certificates for the movies, gift cards from restaurants or music download cards would make good gifts for teens. Applications for Christmas hampers are now available. On Nov. 18, last Wednesday, the Salvation Army Ladies Home League met for a soup and bun dinner and workbee, stuffing envelopes with information about the hampers and inviting donations. VanderHeyden said 8,200 letters were prepared to go out to homes and businesses and they are being inserted into this week’s issue of The Northern Connector. Volunteers had to rush out and buy new labels last minute, because the wrong address wound up on the envelopes. The mistake extended the work that night, with the ladies printing new labels and having to individually stick a new one on each envelope.

Last stop? Destination Prince George. It was a lovely mini vacation. Three friends and I decided to meet up for a day of shopping, followed by dinner and a late night gabfest in PG. It was one of those spontaneous breaks you don’t know how much you need until you take it. We each visited our different shopping priorities then met up at a hotel where we shared a suite. We drank wine and munched appys in said suite, then devoured a fantastic meal at North 54. After that we partied up a storm— old-friends-who-don’t-get-to-see-eachother-enough style, meaning we taxied back to the hotel after dinner, chatted for a few more hours, then went to bed, woke up, had coffee in our room and talked some more, then had a lovely breakfast and went our separate ways. As you know from last month’s column (and from your own life, no doubt), some seasons in life are harder than others, and what kept coming back to me over and over again was the famous Beatles’ refrain, “I get by with a little help from my friends.” (Ohhhhh, ooooooh!) I have been incredibly blessed with enduring friendships: some formed as an adult in the midst of raising children and trying to find myself career and creativity-wise, others that predate meeting my husband, having kids, or gradu-
JUST A THOUGHT
EV BISHOP
To friendship ating high school—or, in one case, even having permanent teeth. A couple friends are related by blood. Others are more the kind Anne of Green Gables spoke of: “Kindred spirits are not so scarce as I used to think. It’s splendid to find out there are so many of them in the world.” Over the years and depending on the busyness and cadence of our various lives, we see a little or a lot of each other, but something interesting struck me the other day. I appreciate, need, rely on, and revel in my friends with the same intensity that I did as a teenager—maybe more because we’re not all so rottenly insecure.
I wouldn’t have predicted this in my twenties and early thirties when things were so hectic that long deep visits or casual just hanging out times were rare—but I also wonder if it has something to do with the life stage I’m at. In my twenties and thirties, I knew what I was doing, what I was focused on. I still appreciated and enjoyed my friends, but my small children and family took most of my energy and time. Here at 43, I feel like I’m 18 again, in terms of wondering what’s up next, who will I be, how shall I live? And some of the grief and hard things feel similar too. Why do we exist? What’s the meaning of life? Why is our world like this? (I know, I know . . . you’re feeling sorry for my friends having to put up with me. What can I tell you? They really are amazing. And they drink a lot to cope with me. Heh.) My husband and I often joke that I’m a hermit, and that’s partially true. I can enjoy light socializing, but it wears me down. I don’t do small talk well. And I require a lot of alone time—yet I also need my friends, deeply. It’s not the quantity of friends that counts, nor the amount of time you spend together. In both cases, it comes down to quality. I hope you, like me, have found (or find) your people—or person—that keeps you from feeling alone on this small planet. After all, “Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another: ‘What! You too? I thought I was the only one.’” –C.S. Lewis Love and feel extremely grateful for my friends. Check.’

City crews gear up for winter plowing THE AREA’S first snow fall of the season last week had city crews plowing roads and sidewalks, and thanks to a recent purchase, they had a new sidewalk plow to replace the old. The city’s job is fairly round-the-clock and is done by the roads and drainage crew of 12 who are on duty 24-hours a day from Sunday night through Friday evening, with a day shift operating on weekends, says city public works director Rob Schibli. Private companies are contracted out to remove snow and otherwise assist during major storms, he added. Crews use both sand and salt to fight the ice and snow, with the latter losing its effectiveness as the weather gets colder. Using sand helps with traction on the hills and the salt helps keep the drains clear, according to the city. Workers will also use shovels to clear drains plugged up by snow. Street parking impeding snow removal is not permitted and vehicles may be towed. Residents also have to clear the bottom of their own driveways after plows have gone through. But since 2009, the city has been helping out the elderly and those with physical and other challenges to deal with the windrows plugging driveways after a street has been cleared. Qualifying residents can sign up for free snow removal. According to Schibli, 28 residents signed up for the program in 2014 which used $2,940 of the program’s $5,000 annual budget. The program has never gone over budget, even though it is a first come first serve program, said city corporate administrator Alisa Thompson. “We’ve never exceeded the budget since the program was initiated so it seems very unlikely. It is first come, first served but if we had a huge participation increase council could look at increasing the amount in the budget the next year,” she said.

TERRI ARMSTRONG, a driver for the Northern Health Authority’s Northern Connections medical bus service, makes a stop at Mills Memorial Hospital.
Service connects region By MARGARET SPEIRS WHEN NORTHWESTERN local government and First Nations leaders and others met yesterday in Smithers to discuss ways to improve regional transportation options along Hwy16, they had one working system to study. It’s the Northern Health Connections bus service operated by the Northern Health Authority. Using both highway coaches for long distance travel and minibuses to connect communities, the service transports northwest residents to hospitals in Prince George and down south and to and from hospitals in northwestern communities. Six highway coaches make four round trips a week along Hwy16 from Prince Rupert to Prince George and then south while five mini-buses are used for trips connecting smaller communities. The coaches, the size of a regular Greyhoundstyle bus, seats 40 people while mini-buses seat 28. Four wheelchairs can be accommodated on coaches and two on minibuses. A patient going from Terrace to Prince George pays $40 a round trip while one going from Terrace to Vancouver pays $80 round trip. As efficient and a regularly-scheduled service as it is in connecting northwestern communities, there’s little chance of adapting
it in response to calls for more regional public transportation. That’s because the service was specifically set up for people requiring medical care and
its licence allows it to transport patients from one location to another for treatment as long as they have a doctor’s note or similar note showing the need for
them to get to another place for medical treatment, says Jonathon Dyck from Northern Health.

Students’ report cards are to be late REPORT CARDS for secondary and middle public school students will be late because of a shutdown affecting the province-wide information system. Caledonia Secondary School’s report cards are now going out tomorrow and Skeena Middle School’s on Dec. 9. Teachers had been planning to enter marks and update information earlier this month but the new data sys-
tem, called MyEducationBC, was shut down Nov. 6 to Nov. 12 so that school districts not using it elsewhere could sign on. Those schools were in Vancouver, Surrey,
Mission, and Langley. Still, schools here are not planning to change already-scheduled early dismissal days of today and tomorrow, Nov. 26, originally meant for teachers to discuss re-
cards in hand. She said those early dismissals are set out in the Schools Act. Some schools have also established additional times parents can meet with teachers.
Skeena Middle School, for example, will be holding parentteacher interviews from 6 to 8 p.m. on Thursday, Dec. 10, the day after their report cards go out.
Hazelton Secondary School report cards are going out Nov. 27, Hazelton elementary students will receive report cards Dec. 7 and students in Kitwanga will receive theirs Dec. 4.
A great deal just bubbled up.

Buses Northern Health is a health services provider and does not provide public transport, says Dyck. “We have a licence to provide healthcare transport. That is where our focus is and will continue to be,” said Dyck. The health authority does, however, combine with local governments and First Nations in the Terrace-Kitimat area on a bus service used by both members of the public and those needing to travel to local hospitals and medical clinics. The weekday only service, in the form of a mini-bus operated by BC Transit, extends from Kitamaat Village through Kitimat up Hwy37 South to Terrace and west to Kitsumkalum and New Remo and east to Thornhill then along Hwy16 to the Kitselas First Nation’s Gitaus subdivision. Costs are shared by BC Transit, the health authority, the Haisla First Nation, the Kitimat-Stikine regional district, the City of Terrace, the Kitsumkalum First Nation and the Kitselas First Nation. The Smithers symposium was organized by the province in response to calls for more public transit connecting communities along Hwy16 and communities to the north and south as an alternative to hitchhiking or other forms of riskier transport. Advocates point to the cases of murdered and missing women along Hwy16 as a reason why safer transportation is required.

Scam alert
RCMP ARE warning of a classic scam following two incidents recently reported. The scam is commonly referred to as the “money transfer request,” a spin off the classic Nigerian scam, RCMP said in a release. A scammer makes initial contact thru a social media site like LinkedIn offering a job to work as a collections person of sorts for their out-of-country company. Part of the agreement is that the person will be sent cheques from companies in North America owing money to the out-of-country company. The person would then cash these cheques, take a percentage of the payment, and then wire transfer the remainder to the company. These cheques are all actually from legitimate companies which appear to have been stolen out of the mail and the only part that has been altered is the payee name. The amount, signatures, and other info are still the same. The cheque clears and the crime is not noticed till much later. Once the money is wire transferred, it is very difficult to reverse and if it is sent overseas then the likelihood of recovery is close to nil, say RCMP. “The old adage of ‘If something seems too good to be true, it probably is is good advice to live by,’” said the RCMP.

bution. “We’re looking to add layers [of clothing],” said Alm, adding that can mean a change of socks, or blankets or quilts to wrap people in. The group doesn’t want to be duplicating times when food is available for those in need, they want to be filling a need when
there’s no food available. Underway as well is seeking charitable status for the foundation. Anyone who wants to help but doesn’t feel comfortable going out and meeting strangers can do other things from making and donating coffee, sandwiches, or baked goods, donat-
ing clothing, footwear or even praying for the group, said Alm. Used lawn or other outdoor furniture is also welcome so people at the park have a place to sit at the propane fire. “We’re just loving people out there. There are no conditions attached to any of this,” she said.

Overpass lights turned on LAST WEEK’S activation of traffic control lights at the southern end of the Sande Overpass may have caught some motorists by surprise, but for pedestrians it was a welcome introduction. Instead of flashing amber and red lights, normal signal lights now control traffic turning east from the southern end of the overpass to Keith Ave./Highway 16 and the traffic approaching the intersection on Keith Ave. from the west. Cam Maximchuk, who frequently walks to his job at Fountain Tire, said that before, as a pedestrian, “you were dodging.” “You were dodging, watching out because everybody’s backed up trying to get their shot,” he said of motorists wanting to clear the overpass. “This is way better. It’s wider, better flow I’d say.” Towards the end of last week, when the new lights became entirely operational, Facebook lit up with stories

Environmental Assessment of the Proposed WCC LNG Project
Open House and Invitation to Comment
STAFF PHOTO
PETER MAH, left, who has now resigned from his positions with Alloycorp, speaks to Kevin McKay from the Nisga’a Lisims Government at an April company reception in Terrace.
Mining exec resigns posts THE COMPANY that wants to build a molybdenum mine at Kitsault on the north coast has lost another senior executive. Peter Mah has resigned as the chief operating officer of Alloycorp and as president of its subsidiary, Avanti Kitsault Mine Ltd. The brief announcement was made Nov. 18 with Alloycorp thanking Mah for his service. Mah was just appointed to the two positions last December. His resignation follows that of Gordon Bogden who stepped down as president and chief executive officer of Alloycorp in September. Alloycorp, through its Avanti subsidiary, had fully expected to be building its mine this year but failed to obtain all of the financing it needed. It also suffered from weak markets for molybdenum which is used as a strengthening agent in steel making. The company put the project on hold this summer while it commissioned a revised engineering study to better firm up ore recovery expectations and capital costs. Two weeks ago, Alloycorp released its revised engineering and cost study which added another $395 million to the project budget, pushing the estimated total needed to $1.2 billion. The project
does have provincial and federal environmental approvals and also an economic benefits agreement with the Nisga’a Nation as its location is within territory over which the Nisga’a have an influence as set out in their 2000 land claims agreement. Alloycorp had also lined up six European institutions as tentative investors with only two, in the end, committing themselves to the project. Beginning last year, the company did build a 150-person camp at its location in anticipation of a construction start, built a road to the mine site and rebuilt a provincial government bridge over the Nass River so that it could move in heavy equipment.
A division of
WCC LNG Project Ltd. (Proponent) is proposing to develop and operate the WCC LNG Project (proposed Project), a liquefied natural gas (LNG) facility and marine terminal for the export of LNG. The proposed Project would be located on the eastern shore of Tuck Inlet on District Lot 444 within the city limits of Prince Rupert, BC. The proposed Project would export up to approximately 30 million tonnes per annum of LNG to international markets.
The intention of seeking public comments is to ensure that all potential effects – environmental, economic, social, heritage and health – that might result from the proposed Project are identified for consideration as part of the assessment process. At this stage of the process, the primary intent is to receive feedback about the studies or information required for a comprehensive environmental assessment.
The proposed Project is subject to review under British Columbia’s Environmental Assessment Act and is also undergoing a substituted environmental assessment under the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act.
After taking public comments into account, EAO will finalize the AIR and issue them to the Proponent.
The Proponent must obtain an environmental assessment certificate before any work can be undertaken on the proposed Project. However, prior to submission of an application (Application) for a certificate by the Proponent, the Environmental Assessment Office of British Columbia (EAO) must first approve the Application Information Requirements (AIR). The AIR will specify the studies to be conducted and the detailed information to be provided by the Proponent in its Application. The EAO invites public comments on the draft AIR which will be available for review starting on November 23, 2015. To provide information about the AIR, EAO invites the public to attend an Open House. The Open House is scheduled as follows: at: North Coast Meeting & Convention Centre 240 1st Avenue West, Prince Rupert on: Tuesday, December 8, 2015 from: 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. There are 45 days for the submission of comments by the public in relation to the draft AIR. The comment period will begin on November 23, 2015 and end on January 6, 2016. All comments received during this comment period in relation to the AIR will be considered.
NOTE:
EAO accepts public comments through the following ways: ONLINE FORM
http://www.eao.gov.bc.ca MAIL

An electronic copy of the draft AIR and information regarding the environmental assessment process will be available at www.eao.gov.bc.ca starting on November 23, 2015. Copies of the draft AIR will also be available for viewing starting on November 23, 2015 at these locations: Prince Rupert Public Library 101 6th Avenue West Prince Rupert, BC WCC LNG Office 111 101 1st Avenue East Prince Rupert, BC Port Interpretive Centre 200-215 Cow Bay Road Prince Rupert, BC

If you are unable to participate at this time, there will be an additional comment period during the Application Review stage when you will also be able to provide comments to EAO on the proposed Project.
All submissions received by EAO during the comment period in relation to the proposed Project are considered public and will be posted to the EAO website.

ally for grants with this year’s total grant amount, based on 2014 profits, amounting to $130,000. “Shames Mountain, cross-country skiing, [mountain] bike trails – those are some of the groups,” said Haworth of past grants. The grant list this year includes two City of Terrace projects to remove dangerous trees from Ferry Island and to make Howe Creek Trail improvements, My Mountain Co-op for a heat recovery system on Shames Mountain, the Snow Valley Nordic Ski Club toward the purchase of a snow groomer, trail development by the Terrace Off-Road Cycling Association, the Northwest Science and Innovation Society’s science fair, the Terrace Community Foundation, the Skeena Valley Snowmobile Association for a day use cabin, signage for the Terrace Salmonid Enhancement Society, equipment for the Caledonia Secondary Outdoors Club, the Dr. REM Lee Hospital Foundation, the Ksan House Society for an urban forest, the Terrace Downtown Improvement Area heritage tree maintenance project and the Skeena Nass Center for Innovation in Resource Economics for its regional innovation challenge. A grant was also given for improvements to the Frank Trail. The community forest philosophy is to return profits to community groups who either use or are active on the regional land base. Over and above community grants, the community forest has also financed approximately $30,000 on fish habitat projects, primarily in the Spring Creek watershed north of the city. Looking ahead, Haworth said the community forest has already charted out its next thinning project – 100 hectares in the Deep Creek area. To date, the community forest has planted 300,000 trees of varying species. First set up in 2006, the community forest delayed actual operations until the forest industry improved in 2010. It then had to repay a start up loan of $150,000 provided by the city.
T:11”T:11”
A SOFTER than expected export market has cut the city-owned Terrace Community Forest revenues this year but it did accomplish one of its goals, says general manager Kim Haworth. “We finished our first commercial thinning project this year and that was on the Onion Lake Flats,” he said. Loggers thinned out 100 hectares, cutting 32,000 cubic metres of small diameter hemlock and balsam trees which is the community forest’s annual allowable cut. “It was taken to Kitimat, shipped to Prince Rupert and then put on its way to China,” said Haworth. End users used the wood for structural work and for forms during construction. Haworth said the community forest’s Vancouver-based broker had a challenge in selling the wood because of a softening Chinese economy and competition from other sources. “New Zealand, that’s a competitor,” added Haworth in adding logging costs there are cheaper. The Chinese market is crucial to the community forest, taking approximately 80 per cent of the 135,000 cubic metres that’s been logged since operations started in 2010. “Without the Chinese markets we, like all the other licensees, would not be operating,” said Haworth. The rest of the wood has been sold to Skeena Sawmills as it’s been of sufficient size to be cut there. Revenues and profits from the past year are to be examined by the community forest’s board and once that happens, a decision will be made on how much money will be available for recreation-based grants. That fits one of the goals of the community forest as set by the City of Terrace – using profits for grants to community-based recreation groups to wean those groups from asking the city directly for money. Initial estimates this year forecast a reduction in profits to approximately $50,000. That’s in contrast to the past several years when the community forest has provided at least $100,000 annu-

Love You, Mom XO
Donald Thomas Chesley January 7, 1937 – November 17, 2015
Don passed away peacefully after a brief illness at the Moog & Friends Hospice House in Penticton, BC with his loving wife and children by his side. He received tremendous care and the family would like to especially thank Dr. Lorraine Kane. Don is survived by his wife Claire, his children and step-children Sharon (Dave) Zorman, Tom (Charlene) Chesley, Martin (Terry) Tooms, Nick (Robin) Tooms, Roger (Cheryl) Tooms, and Chris Tooms, his grandchildren Darrell (Reina), Mallory, Amanda, Breanna, Amy, Brandon, Ashley, Andrew, Matthew, Devan, Bryce, Amber (Jeff), David and Kristen, his great-grandchildren Jacob, Brannon and Emily, his brothers Ken (Bonny), Bruce (Pat) his sisters-in-law, Irene and Pat and many nieces and nephews. Don was predeceased by his parents, Art and Eunice, his brothers Herb and Walter, his sister-in-law Edna, and his step-son Rob. Don was born January 7, 1937 at his Mom and Dad’s homestead in Saskatchewan and spent his younger years in Prince Albert, Shipman and Montreal Lake and later Christopher Lake. Don’s sawmill life started early at his Dad’s mill and continued in 1956 with Brownmiller Sawmill in BC followed by West Fraser Mills taking him from Quesnel to Chetwynd in 1978 and Terrace in 1987. In 1961 Don went to New Zealand on a working holiday where he met and married Joan in 1963. Don and Joan moved back to Quesnel and the family grew with the addition of Sharon and Tom. Life was happy and busy with family activities and work. 1983 started a new phase of life for Don – he was now a Grandpa, a role he cherished. Don and Joan separated in 1991 and in 1992 he met Claire, who he married in 1994. This more than doubled the size of his family. 1995 brought retirement for Don and Claire with moves to Kamloops and later Osoyoos where they golfed and wintered in Arizona. Don’s commitment to his family was evident in the many trips he made for family celebrations with his parents, brothers, children, grandchildren. 2015 brought Don to Penticton where he and Claire downsized and were looking forward to the next stage of their lives. This ended far too soon for Don. He will be missed so very much and will always be in our hearts. A Memorial Service will be held for Don at the Quesnel Seniors CentreSaturday, November 28th at 12:30 PM followed by interment at the Quesnel Cemetery and a tea at the Seniors Centre. All are welcome. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Canadian Cancer Society or the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation will be gratefully accepted.

Adrian Thomas Enright
October 26th, 1957 - November 10th, 2015 Family, friends and loved ones were saddened by the passing of Adrian Thomas Enright on Tuesday, November 10th at Vancouver General Hospital. Adrian was born October 26th, 1957 in Edmonton, Alberta to parents Jean and Jack Enright. He and his family moved to Queenstown, New Zealand when Adrian was only three years old. Queenstown was his home for many years. He attended school, played rugby, and was a huge help to his family of five siblings until he moved back to Canada in 1979, when he was 21 years old. Shortly after his arrival in North America, he nomadically made his way to the Great White North, spending a few months in Prince George, but finally settling in Terrace in 1980. Soon after arriving in Terrace, Adrian began working for Scotiabank. His love of rugby immediately drew him to the Terrace rugby league. He energetically played with his team the Northmen for many years. In 1981 Adrian met the love of his life, Cheryl Lee Enright (Gillis), along with her two children, Candice and Ryan Huffman. Just a few years later in 1985 Adrian and Cheryl Enright tied the knot, and extended the family when Blake Enright was born. Adrian quickly became deeply rooted in Cheryl’s family, taking on the dual positions of Operations Manager for the Tillicum Twin Theatres and Business Manager for the Nass Camp operations. Adrian was a proud man who worked hard and enthusiastically at everything he did. His love and dedication to his own and extended families was clearly evident in all that he did for them – supporting school activities, turning a house into a home, making tasty meals, running all the errands at home and work. He loved his community of Terrace and his good friends with whom he had a long and lasting relationship. His favourite place on earth was at home in Terrace and he will be missed by who knew him. Adrian is predeceased by loving wife Cheryl Enright, father Jack and mother Jean Enright. He leaves behind his three children: Candice, Ryan, and Blake, brothers Terry, Wayne, Shell, and Tony and sister Cathie. Adrian’s service was held on Wednesday, November 18 at the Evangelical Free Church, followed by a reception at Boston Pizza. The family wishes to extend its heartfelt thanks for all of the expressions of love.

Centennial senior boys dominate zones BY JACKIE LIEUWEN CENTENNIAL CHRISTIAN School’s senior boys dominated volleyball zone championships and will fight for the top at provincials in Abbotsford Nov. 26 to 28. Five teams were at the single-A zones in Hazleton last Saturday and Centennial won every game. In the entire championship, they lost only one set in the round robin to Bulkley Valley Christian School (BVCS) from Smithers. “I felt like we controlled the play for the majority of the sets,” said coach Jesiah Bartley of the final game against BVCS. Centennial had a strong rivalry with BVCS all season, but were really focused at zones and managed to stay on top through finals and win three straight sets. At one point in the second set, they were down several points but Evan Veldman led them back into the lead with a nine-point serving streak. Bartley says the team has been working hard this year on the mental aspect of the game, moving past mistakes and focusing on the next play. “[We] as coaches have been really proud of them, they’ve been working really hard at that… some of our players have made some huge strides in that area,” he said. Another strength of the team is their versatile attack, said Bartley. “Everybody that we have can make a strong attack, whether that is a really strong spike or a dip or just a smart play like putting the ball in the corner. The kids are really good at changing things up and using their heads, not just swinging as hard as they can.” Both Centennial and BVCS have berths to provincials and this is the fifth year in a row for Centennial. The team has a good shot at the top, having placed second in B.C. last year with most of the same players, many from Grade 10 at the time. The team this year has two Grade 10

One of the graduating students is libero Lindsay Ewald, who joined the team because there were not enough Centennial girls interested in a senior girls volleyball team. It is neat to see how the guys respect and
accept Ewald on the team, said Bartley. “It’s tough to have expectations going down to provincials because we haven’t seen any of the teams down there before… the only expectation that I have is for our team to go down there and play volleyball the way we know that they can play. If they come out and have fun and do their best, we know that
they are going to perform well,” he said. Bartley says the team has had a strong and consistent season this year, kicked off with a third place win out of eight teams in a Prince George tournament in September. “It’s looking really good for our future, and we have a lot of young players who are very strong,” he said.
Terrace River Kings to host Coy Cup in March By JACKIE LIEUWEN
CONTRIBUTED PHOTO
THE TERRACE River Kings are ready to face off in the Coy Cup.
THE TERRACE River Kings were chosen to host the Coy Cup Championship this coming March and they have an automatic berth to the tournament. The Coy Cup is given to the champion of the Senior Male AAA Championship, which includes four top teams in northern B.C., one being the host team. The other three teams are top northern teams, and could be teams from Fort St. John, Fort Nelson, Powell River or even Whitehorse, said coach Rob Findlay. Terrace last hosted the tournament in 2009, and the past two years, have come in second in the cup finals. “I think we have a really good chance [at winning the cup],” said
Findlay. “When we went there last year, we were short a couple of our players and the team that beat us, we had beat during the semi-finals… We beat them once, but then they brought in half a dozen new players for the final game… high-end players… I think if we would have had our full team and maybe an extra couple of guys (‘cause I had some guys playing hurt), we would have had a way better chance.” Findlay says just like last year, he will not bring in ringers. “We will just use our guys, our Terrace local guys who have played with us,” he said. “The guys are pretty excited about it.” Findlay adds that hosting the championship will be good for the community.
“It will bring a lot of people here, you’re going to have at least 60 guys, 75 people, coming to town in the hockey teams. Then you’ll have lots of people from Kitimat and Prince Rupert coming down to watch the games.” Between shopping, staying in hotel rooms and eating at restaurants, the community should really see some benefits, he said. Fundraising manager Ross Smith says they are looking for sponsors and volunteers and will meet in two weeks to start organizing an event planning committee. The committee will organize referees, security, ice time, beer gardens, hotels, food for players, promotions, fundraisers and everything around the championship. Anyone interested to help can call Ross Smith at 250-615-9086.

Snowy slopes glistening at Shames
By JACKIE LIEUWEN THE SLOPES at Shames Mountain are glistening with aboveaverage amounts of snow, and the ski hill is set to open Dec. 12. “We have a lot of fresh snow. It’s been three years where we have not had much for pre-season snow… this year we have more than enough snow to open,” said Christian Théberge, general manager at Shames. He said last Thursday they had a metre and a half of snow at the top of the chair left and 90 centimetres at the parking lot – an astonishing amount for this elevation compared to other years. On Nov. 15 following a weekend snowfall, Théberge says the hill was nearly as busy as an opening day. “We had a full, full parking lot. I would say 75 to 100 cars were there, with kids tobogganing, dogs playing, people sledding – just a good time,” he said. Membership at Shames Mountain continues to climb, from 680 in 2010 to 1,328 last year and 1,382 members this year so far. New this year, Grade 5 children can get a free all-season pass for the hill, with only a $20

e on the north coast of B.C. really appreciate a sunny day. Last summer we had a month of sunny days. The rest of the province had two. Did you complain about this? I didn’t and I’d hazard a guess that few north coasters did, for we remember summers like the one, not so many years ago, when it rained day after day after day. You remember the one. It rained almost all day every day all summer and into fall when it rained colder rain until that cold rain turned to snow. At first the snow was a welcome sight. Some of us took out our skis, snowshoes, and skates, others gassed up their snow machines, and looked forward to winter activities under sunny skies. It didn’t happen. Instead the temperature hovered around the freezing mark, the ceiling turned grey and dropped snow and rain. Snow melted then morphed into ice. Smiles became increasingly rare. People moved about with determined looks on their faces, irritated by a climate you can’t really dress for or be comfortable in. For the first ten years I lived in the Skeena Valley snow began to accumulate in the valley bottoms in November. By December the land was white and cold until spring breakup, a time, usually in April, lasting a few weeks when the snow melted and the landscape looked dirty and sloppy.

A day later I was sitting in the forward lounge of the Ferry Coastal Celebration with a copy of the Times Colonist where I learned that there was good reason to celebrate on the North Coast for our new PM has just revived and formalized his dad’s tanker ban on the turbulent seas there. In a related article, David Anderson, a back bencher under Trudeau the Elder and Ministry of Fisheries (the best one we ever had) and Minister of the Environment in the Liberal government led by Jean Chretien, praises young Trudeau’s actions and hopes the ban on offshore drilling in the same waters will be renewed too. Given the fact that our new PM has shown a high regard for First Nations and has met and listened to Coastal First Nations, there is considerable reason for optimism in that regard too. I turned to the Business section where the headline read, “Trudeau orders reopening of Kitsilano Coast Guard Station.” Before the Tories shut the base to save cash, the Coast Guard at Kitsilano responded to 300 distress calls per year, a third of which were life and death situations. Vancouver’s Mayor, Gregor Robertson, is elated and encouraged at the speed with which Trudeau moved on the issue. It appears we just might get a glorious summer this year.

Rail contemplated for oil transport By JEFF NAGEL B.C. OIL refinery proponent David Black says his $22-billion proposal won’t die with the apparently thwarted Northern Gateway pipeline as he aims to bring oil sands bitumen across northern B.C. by train instead. The Victoria businessman, who is majority owner of Black Press and this newspaper, spoke Wednesday at a Rotary Club meeting in South Surrey. Black’s Kitimat Clean proposal calls for a refinery between Terrace and Kitimat that would process bitumen into gasoline, diesel and other refined fuels for Asian markets. He said the federal Liberal government’s move to formally ban crude oil tankers from B.C.’s north coast means the Northern Gateway pipeline plan is “pretty much dead” but that shouldn’t block tanker exports of refined fuel, which would be less damaging than a spill of crude or bitu-
men at sea. Black said his plan to carry oil by rail will be far safer than the crude oil trains that have been vulnerable to fiery disasters elsewhere. He said he’s in talks with CN Rail to load rail cars with undiluted bitumen, which would be much thicker – virtually solid – compared to the diluted bitumen that moves through pipelines or the light oil that’s often carried by train. The bitumen would be heated at the beginning and end of each rail trip to make it flow for loading and unloading from tanker cars. Black argues it would be unlikely to leak or burn if a train derailed. “It’s safer and way easier,” he said, estimating six trains a day would run every four hours. Black continues to pursue environmental approvals, and believes that with green lights from regulators and first nations, oil shippers and financiers will come on board.

DAVID BLACK with jar of bitumen, a particularly dense form of oil. But his is not the only such proposal. Pacific Future Energy, led by a Mexican conglomerate, initially tried to buy Black out and has since proposed a similar refinery with
the same technology. Its backers include SNC Lavalin and prominent aboriginal advisors. Pacific Future initially proposed a site in Prince Rupert but Black said that firm is trying
to strike a deal with the Kitselas band for the same site Kitimat Clean had chosen. There are other potential sites with different first nations, he said, but they’re less suitable.
Black also criticized the provincial government’s focus on liquefied natural gas projects. He said his refinery would generate more permanent jobs and taxes for governments than even an optimistic number of LNG plants. “Government really dove at this,” he said, adding the province “rolled over” in guaranteeing generous tax treatment to get the industry on board, leaving little future revenue to government. Too many LNG plants are already being built in Australia and the U.S., he said, while Japan’s shift back towards nuclear power will cut demand. “I just don’t think there’s much chance,” Black said. “The LNG dream is now fading.” Black is not concerned that low oil prices will also doom his refinery dream. He said he believes low prices as well as the U.S. rejection of the Keystone XL pipeline to the U.S. Gulf Coast will make his option
for reaching lucrative Pacific markets increasingly attractive to oil firms grappling with narrowing margins, particularly in Alberta’s oil sands. Black maintains a refinery can’t be built in Alberta itself because of opposition from multinational oil firms that own Texas refineries, and because the large prefabricated modules that can be assembled on the B.C. coast can’t be hauled inland. His proposal would use an unusual technology – adding $5 billion to the costs – that slashes the carbon emissions to less than one third of a conventional refinery. Black argues the “greenest refinery in the world” would largely offset the higher emissions of oil sands bitumen. “It cleans the whole industry up,” Black said. “We’re not in the dirty oil business any more.” “We get huge value added. And it takes away the issue of a heavy oil spill at sea.”
