Housing prices climbBy ANNA KILLEN
THE AVERAGE selling price for a single family home in Terrace is nearly $100,000 more than it was at this time two years ago.
Numbers released by the Northern B.C. Real Estate Board (NBCBEB) show that the average selling price for a detached family home in Terrace for the � rst quarter of 2012 was $200,926.
By March, 2013 that � rst quarter aver-age was $226,303, and now, into the � rst three months of 2014 that number has climbed to $294,067.
In 2014, 43 single family homes were sold, compared to 32 last year and 41 in 2012.
“We’ve seen a dramatic increase over the last two to three years,” said realtor and NBCBEB director John Evans.
“If you would have bought around 2010, 2011 that’s when there were some really good buys around, and in that case it’s basically doubled,” he said.
And it doesn’t appear to be stopping anytime soon, he said.
“The market is continuing to show that it’s very strong and showing signs of con-tinuing to improve,” he said. “We continue to get calls.”
In the � rst quarter of 2014, 101 proper-ties were sold overall in Terrace, up from 60 last year. This year, the total value of these properties was $23 million – double the $11.5 million total for the � rst quarter of 2013.
“Going from 60 to 101 sales – that’s a huge increase in the activity that’s going on in the community,” said Evans.
Homes sell quickly and to a wide vari-ety of buyers, said Evans, noting that it’s a combination of � rst-time homebuyers, out-of-town buyers that are moving to the area for work, out-of-town investors look-ing to capitalize on the area’s growth, and people who already own homes looking for a rental property.
“The out-of-town investor who is look-ing to Terrace now, they’re seeing oppor-tunities because housing is still relatively cheap if you’re on the outside looking in,” he said.

Coffee scene perks up
JOSH MASSEY PHOTO
LOCAL COFFEE shop owners Alexander Vogel, Sonny Yoo and Lance Dettwiler raise their respective to-go cups. These roast masters operate within blocks of each other.
By JOSH MASSEY
EARLY LAST month a group of Cafenara regulars ap-proached owner Sonny Yoo and told him they wanted to renovate their beloved coffee shop for him.
The owner of the Lazelle Ave. business of more than 10 years was naturally surprised to see such an intervention staged by his own clients.
“It was sort of embarrass-ing,” Yoo says with a laugh. “‘It’s really that bad, is it?’ Was my � rst thought.”
His longtime group of clients had noticed something Yoo was aware of but didn’t have time to act on with his busy family life — that the coffee shop land-scape in Terrace was heating up with new options available to coffee drinkers.
The new arrival, Xanders Coffee, had burst onto the scene in December last year and the Elephant’s Ear had been reborn this February after major reno-vations and service overhaul.
“You could say that my friends saw the other coffee shops doing this,” Yoo said. They � gured it was “time to wake him up.”
Just a few blocks away from Cafenara, over on the 400 Block of Lakelse, Xanders and Elephant’s Ear are practically across the street from each other.
Alexander Vogel learned the art of craft roasting beans before starting up Xanders and says the lease in the space at the Coast Inn of the North building was highly opportune.
“Everything fell into place,” he said. “The lease came up and
I just had to go for it. I stuck to my guns and went for it.”
The bean roasting allows Vogel to create unique � avours himself and is one of his shop’s distinguishing features, he said, and those beans are avail-able for customers to purchase.
Cafenara also roasts their own beans, and Yoo says the shop’s restaurant-style food options help them stand apart.
The Elephant’s Ear went through a complete interior re-design in January and now has a deli component to its service.
“Every � ve to eight years we do that in the business to look fresh and new,” says owner Lance Dettwiler of the upgrade.
“I was going to do the renos later but with the competition arising I moved the timeline ahead – plus January is a slow
month so it was a good time to do the renovations,” he said.
On top of the re� nished look Dettwiler now offers a deli products selection and build-your-own sandwich options. He kicked off his re-opening with an open mic night featur-ing local musicians.
None of the owners did their transformations single-handed-ly. They all had help from the community.
For Yoo, this has meant vol-unteers, many members of a local church, helping out with time and even cash donations to paint the walls, clean and change � xings.
“They felt genuinely from their heart that they wanted to help this guy,” said Yoo of the efforts that have been going on over the past month.

TERRACE RCMP and the North District Crime Unit remained at the site of a sudden death on the city’s southside March 31.
Son charged with murder in death of fatherA MAN charged in connection with the second degree murder of his father ap-peared in court earlier this week.
Jeremy Price, 19, appeared in person in Terrace provincial court April 1 to a court-room packed with close to 30 people in what was scheduled to be a bail hearing.
It was put over to this week to give newly retained defence lawyer Suzette Narbonne time to review the case and speak with her client.
On March 29, Terrace RCMP reported that they, along with the North District Crime Unit, were investigating a sudden death in Terrace.
The incident was being treated as suspi-cious at that time, said police.
Police and other emergency vehicles de-scended on the 4600 Block of Goulet on the city southside that day.
A police vehicle remained in front of 4632 Goulet Ave. in the early evening hours and yellow police tape cordoned off the front yard of the residence.
On March 30, police identified the vic-tim as Clifford Price, 50, and said he was found outside of the home early the previ-ous morning.
His son Jeremy had been charged with one count of manslaughter.
Crown later raised the charge to second degree murder.
This is Terrace’s first murder of the year and second in six months, the last being Eric Cardinal in September 2013 in Thorn-hill.
Police asked that if anyone has any in-formation on this incident to please contact the Terrace RCMP at 250-638-7400, or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
Jail time ordered for break-in offender
A MAN charged with eight offences related to break-ins at several local businesses last month has been sen-tenced less than two weeks after his arrest.
Philip Thompson Cooper, 47, was ordered to spend four months in jail followed by one year of probation with conditions in Terrace
provincial court April 2. He was also or-
dered to provide a DNA sample to police and pay a $100 victim fine
surcharge. On March 25, police reported that Cooper, who was well-known to police and of no fixed address, was in
RCMP custody and was facing charges, includ-ing breach of probation, theft and possession of break-in instruments,
in relation to a rash of break and enters into city businesses over two weeks. “It was a com-bination of good police
work and great support from the community that led to this arrest,” said Terrace RCMP in-spector Dana Hart.

First trainApril 9, 2014 is the 100th anniversary of the first train passing through Terrace
Rich history at former rail settlements
By KEN NEWMAN, REGIONAL DISTRICT OF KITIMAT-STIKINE
IT IS a worthy effort to rec-ognize and celebrate the 100th anniversary of the arrival of the first passen-ger train from the east on the then newly constructed Grand Trunk Pacific Rail-way. The first passenger train to travel through the Skeena Valley came in early April 1914, arriving in Prince Ru-pert on April 9, 1914.
Only a few days ear-lier on April 7, 1914, a cer-emony was held and the last spike was driven in the last steel rail near Fort Fra-ser B.C. Who exactly drove the last spike is not entirely clear (more on this mystery later), however, it is known for certain that on that day the tracks of Grand Trunk Pacific (GTP) Railway were finally joined.
While that first passenger train was largely a train of GTP officials and dignitar-ies, it was in fact the first train to travel the entire GTP line from Winnipeg. But the line did not come into full commercial operation until August of 1914 and the first commercial passenger train from the east did not arrive in Prince Rupert until early September, 1914.
Ten years earlier, the president of the Grand Trunk Railway Charles M. Hays stood before the sharehold-ers and announced his vision to complete a second Cana-dian transcontinental rail-way to a yet-to-be-built west coast port city of Prince Ru-pert. This railway would be called the Grand Trunk Pa-cific Railway. Over the next 10 years, the GTP would promote the advantage of a northern rail line and how it
would open up opportunities for mining, agriculture and forestry, not to mention to the new port city of Prince Rupert and the advantage of shorter sailing distances to Asian markets. Then-prime minister Wilfrid Laurier was also convinced of the idea of a second transcontinental railway and therefore as-sisted by having the Domin-ion Government of Canada provide financial guarantees during construction. The GTP expected to recover the costs of construction by profiting from the influx of settlers, the resulting freight shipments and the sale of prospective townsites along the line. Today in northwest B.C., Smithers, South Ha-zelton and Prince Rupert are all communities resulting di-rectly from the GTP.
Surveyors and engineers had chosen the Yellowhead route through the Rocky Mountains to Prince Rupert because it afforded the best grades. The GTP had set a high standard for the railway grade of four-tenths of one per cent, or 21.12 feet per mile and curves were to be four degrees or greater. This would make it the lowest grade railway through the Rocky Mountains in North America. The Mountain section of the GTP was the most difficult and expen-sive section of the railway that began in Winnipeg. The construction of the moun-tain section began from two points – from the east at Wolf Creek, Alberta and from the west at Prince Ru-pert. The construction of the line began in Winnipeg in
1905, reaching Wolf Creek, near present day Edson, Alberta, in 1909. The con-struction of the line going east from Prince Rupert did not begin until May of 1908. The distance from Winnipeg to Wolf Creek was 916 miles while the mountain section from Wolf Creek to Prince Rupert was 839 miles.
Within the mountain sec-tion, the Skeena Valley por-tion of the railway was a distance of 180 miles from Prince Rupert to Hazelton – and the most difficult and costly part of the mountain section. The total cost to build the rail line from Win-nipeg was $109.8 million and of that, the mountain section cost $78.2 million. The Skeena River from Ha-zelton to the Pacific Ocean falls 1,000 feet, making it
one of the most rapidly de-scending rivers on the west coast of North America. Such obstacles along the way included the steep mountain walls of the lower Skeena, Kitselas Canyon and the crossing of the Skeena west of Hazelton. The man in charge of this section of the construction was GTP engi-neer C.C. Van Arsdoll, nick-named “four tenths Van” for his insistence that the grade not exceed four-tenths of one per cent in a mile, even during this difficult section. This high standard contrib-uted to the challenges and costs of building a railway in this difficult environment.
Tunnels were extensive, in the first 200 miles of the railway some 13 tunnels were built totalling over 8,800 feet. The steel span
bridge across the Skeena at mile 174, 13 miles west of Hazelton (commonly known as Skeena Crossing) was a 930 foot span completed in March of 1912 and only 10 miles further, a second bridge almost 900 feet long was constructed over Sealy Gulch. It is estimated that to build the first 100 miles of grade east of Prince Rupert cost $80,000 a mile before any track was laid.
Construction on the Skee-na portion of the line was carried out by the principal contractor Foley Brothers, Welch and Stewart (F. W & S) who in many cases sublet to other contractors. Con-struction camps to house workers were situated along the route approximately ev-ery two to five miles. To service the camps, F. W. & S employed sternwheeler steamers to ply the waters of the Skeena. They owned five sternwheelers that would travel the Skeena to the head of navigation at Hazelton. These vessels, prior to the arrival of the GTP, were the means of choice of getting supplies between the coast and the interior.
Ironically, the stern-wheeler was being used to help build a railway that would end the sternwheeler era on the Skeena. Through-out construction, due to poor living conditions and low wages, workers were hard to retain and it was said that for every man arriving at camp to work, one was leav-ing. Workers would often refer to F.W. & S Company as Fool’em, Work’em and Starve’em.
The first passenger train from the east did not travel the line until April 1914.

THE REGIONAL District of Kitimat-Stikine, as result of the historical significance the GTP had on the development of the region, recognized two GTP-related sites. And in 2013, the regional district added sites within the former GTP railway communities of Dorreen and Pacific to its community heritage registry. Those sites were the GTP roundhouse at Pacific and the site of the former GTP sta-tion at Dorreen.
Pacific was a town lo-cated approximately 35 km northeast of Terrace on the
Grand Trunk Pacific (GTP) Railway at mile 119.4 from Prince Rupert. Prior to the arrival of the GTP, it was locally known as Nicholl. Pacific became an important point on the GTP when the company decided to make Pacific the first divisional point east of Prince Rupert and locate a roundhouse and rail yard on a 30 hect-are piece of land next to the Skeena River.
In addition to the round-house, Pacific’s railway in-frastructure included a sub-stantial passenger station
(CNR Plan 100-159), freight and baggage sheds, water tank, oil tank, and coaling and sanding facilities. The selection of a railway divi-sional point often spurred additional economic activity which resulted in the growth of the associated commu-nity.
Divisional points were typically only 110 to 140 miles apart due to the me-chanical limitations of steam locomotives and roll-ing stock of the time. Early locomotives were smaller and slower and could only
travel short distances before servicing was required.
Constructed in 1915, the roundhouse was built to the GTP standard plan (Plan 120-115) typical of its time. The roundhouse was a large quarter-circular-shaped building with tracks lead-ing into 12 stalls, each with a below-grade maintenance pit used for the repair of lo-comotives and rolling stock.
A large turntable in front of the roundhouse was used to align the locomotives with the stalls and was connected to a railway wye, which in
turn joined the mainline track. The contractor that built most of the buildings for the GTP was, Carter-Halls-Aldinger, from Win-nipeg. It is not know for sure that they built the Pacific roundhouse but it is known that they did construct other GTP roundhouses in prairie towns such as Watrous and Biggar in Saskatchewan and Wainwright in Alberta.
Pacific did enjoy a short period of success after the GTP arrived. The land was subdivided and a townsite was created. It had a school,
store, post office, a hotel and community hall but the pop-ulation never boomed.
With increasing advanc-es in locomotive technol-ogy from steam to diesel, railway operations became centralized, and as a result the Pacific roundhouse was demolished to its founda-tions in 1959. The divisional point was transferred to Terrace, and eventually all maintenance was relocated to Prince George, B.C. and Edmonton, Alberta.

Today there is not much to see at Pacific. Very few buildings remain and the only re-mains of the roundhouse is the moss cov-ered foundation and a pile of red bricks. There was a brief interest in reviving Pacific in the 1970s when a former regional district planner, with an interest in ghost towns, en-visioned a self-sufficient community of peo-ple living in Pacific. Though many people were attracted to the idea of Pacific and did buy lots, the idea never did take off and Pa-cific was not revived.
Dorreen is an isolated community locat-ed about 48 km northeast of Terrace. Named as a result of the Grand Trunk Pacific (GTP) Railway, after a former GTP engineer Er-nest J. Dorreen. The GTP located a station at this site, at Mile 125.5 from Prince Rupert.
The Dorreen railway station was con-structed in 1913 according to the GTP Stan-dard Design A plan (CNR Plan 100-152), the most common station design used by the GTP in western Canada. The station’s hipped roof with wide bellcast overhang, turret, and large banks of windows all con-tributed to the formal and aesthetic qualities of this standardized building type. The tradi-tional location for GTP stations was on the north side of the railway tracks in order to take advantage of southern exposures. How-ever, in Dorreen the tracks run north/south necessitating the siting of the station on the east side of the tracks. Its central location in Dorreen was typical of GTP standardized planning. The station included a waiting room, agent’s office, a freight or crew bunk area and living space for the agent and his family. The station was demolished by the CNR in 1971.
District Lot 2500, generally accepted as the community of Dorreen, was preempted by Charles Carpenter in 1911. With the ar-rival of the GTP, the community began to grow and the District Lot was subdivided into 5 and 10 acre lots. The community grew with not only the arrival of the railway but also as a result of local prospecting and min-ing operations. The town boosted a general store, community hall and school. The gen-eral store was built by Thomas McCubbin in 1920, who also operated a store in nearby Pacific. The store was later sold to William and Florence Horwill in about 1935. The store also acted as the post office, mining records office, an office of the justice of the peace and a telegraph office. It operated un-til its closure in 1960.
The community’s population rarely ex-ceeded 50 even with the opening of a mine on Knuass Mountain in 1949. The mine operated by Dorreen Mines Ltd only lasted until 1953. In addition to the railway and the mining, Dorreen was also an agricultural community and families such as the Hor-wills grew commercial gardens and shipped their produce by train to Prince Rupert.
Today, there are only a few permanent and part-time residents of Dorreen, the gen-eral store and a number of original build-ings remain. The original train station is long gone but the residents maintain a small building near the site of the original station that acts as their station.

Rail sites have rich histories
However, there was passenger service operating on the Skeena section by 1911, taking place for the first 100 miles to Kit-selas, which at the time was called Vana-rsdol and would later become the site of a station. With the arrival of the tracks at Skeena Crossing in March of 1912, the GTP was offering passenger service from Prince Rupert to Hazelton with a ferry ser-vice across the Skeena.
The GTP situated railway stations at ap-proximately every six to eight miles along the route from Winnipeg – and it was no different on the Skeena portion of the line. At its opening in April 1914, the line be-tween Prince Rupert and Hazelton had 22 stations. Divisional points were also sig-nificant sites for railway operations, with not only a station but also a roundhouse and rail yard for the maintenance and ser-vicing of locomotives. Typically division-al points were 100 to 140 miles apart. The first divisional point east of Prince Rupert was located at the community of Pacific, formerly called Nicholl.
The stations, with only a few excep-tions were of a standard design. By far, the GTP’s most common station type was the Design ‘A’ 100-152, and at its opening in 1914, this was true for all the stations on the Skeena portion of the line, with the exception of Pacific which, being a divi-sional point, had a larger 100-159 plan sta-tion. Sadly today, there are no examples of the stations left along the Skeena portion of the line except for the Kwinitsa station which was moved to Prince Rupert’s wa-terfront. The stations were all named and the names of these places remain today and in some cases are the names of those involved with the construction of the GTP. Places such as Dorreen, Salvus, Vanarsdol (later Kitselas) and Ritchie.
As noted earlier, the GTP opened in the summer of 1914 for full commercial op-erations but the company was in financial trouble right from its opening. The first blow to the GTP came two years before it was completed when the railway’s presi-dent and visionary Charles M. Hays, on a
return trip from Britain to secure capital for the railway, died with the sinking of the Titanic in April 1912. Eventually the high cost of construction, failed town-site land deals, competition, low traffic volumes and the start of the First World War conspired against the success of the GTP. By 1918, the GTP was in negotia-tions with the federal government to take over not only the GTP but also the par-ent Grand Trunk Railway. The GTP was forced into receivership in 1919 and was eventually taken over by the government. By 1923, the government rolled several failed railways, including GTP’s com-petitor the Canadian Northern Railway (CNoR), into one company and formed the Canadian National Railway (CNR).
Revisiting the circumstances of April 7, 1914, and the GTP last spike ceremony, some question whether April 7th was in-tended to be the date in history to be re-membered for the GTP. It is agreed that this was the date the tracks from the east actually first met the tracks from the west but it is speculated that this wasn’t really to be the formal ceremony. It is document-ed that GTP management had talked about two events, one being the actual physical connection of the tracks and then later, when the final touches to the rail line were complete, a ceremonial highly publicized event with a golden spike would take place, in the same way as the last spike on the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) was done two decades earlier.
Part of the speculation is as a result of the number of conflicting accounts of who actually drove the last spike. It seems the facts suggest no one actually knows for sure who drove the last spike. Some credit then-GTP president Edson Cham-berlin but there are reports he was actu-ally in Montreal when it happened. Still others think it might have been GTP chief engineer B.B. Kelliher or GTP vice-pres-ident and general manager Morley Don-aldson or GTP superintendent McCall, finally, that it might have actually been the west construction foreman Peter Tityrn or
east foreman Philip Egan who drove the last spike. There apparently were several spikes driven by various officials before the actual last spike and there are some photos of the event but they don’t clear-ly identify who drove the LAST SPIKE. The fact that GTP president Chamberlin, the highest ranking GTP official, was not at the April 7th event would support the thought that April 7th was not to be the formal last spike ceremony.
The circumstances of the cost of con-struction, the threat of bankruptcy, world war and recession may have all conspired together to prevent the formal ceremony with a golden spike. The GTP was com-pleted but likely not in the fashion it was dreamed of in 1903 by Charles Hays. It finished more with a whimper than a bang. The location of the last spike is a little clearer, accounts talk about east of the Nechako River Crossing or near Fort Fra-ser or at Fort Fraser. All are actually true, the site was near the east end of the upper Nechako River crossing about one mile east of the Fort Fraser station. The first train across the track was pulled by engine No. 112 and arrived in Prince Rupert on April 9th at 1:15 in the afternoon.

Northwestern B.C. is now the cen-tre of the universe.
Well, maybe that’s slight hyper-bole, but on some days, with all the attention we’re getting, it feels that way.
At a recent Chamber of Commerce luncheon BC Hydro of� cial Lesley Wood told the audience that eyes in the Lower Mainland are trained on the Terrace region because of its on-going development surge.
From the major debates over oil and gas expansion to the internation-ally known struggle over the future of the Sacred Headwaters, to the fact that the Terrace housing market has been listed as one of the hottest in the province, there is plenty here to take interest in.
One can add to this the concern raised by the Highway of Tears or the National Geographic-level of respect for the nature values of the wildly pristine coast.
As SkeenaWild director Greg Knox reminded council last week, existing at the centre comes with re-sponsibility.
Knox was speci� cally referencing the carbon emissions affecting the global climate from western oil and gas development and the need for al-ternatives and restraint.
At the same time innovative engi-neers and investors are trying to get oil and LNG � owing to Asia ASAP.
If the country is watching intent-ly, then the country will remember what it sees. How will the choices we make now be remembered?

Terrace’s medical lab and the Medi-cal Building’s third � oor waiting room
offer diehard people watch-ers like me a cornucopia of entertaining conversations and behaviour unfettered by any concern whatever for privacy. If you share an ail-ment under discussion, your wait may prove as bene� cial as meeting with the relative support group.
Once, while waiting to be called in to see my doctor, I found myself subjected to an impromptu lecture on the art of diaper changing. Because I was seated where I couldn’t see the lecturer, I had only her running patter to go by.
Who was her intended audience? Many of us were well past child-rearing age. Yet going by the Hear Ye! volume of her vocal delivery, she could have been present-ing the intricacies of Pam-pers switching to 720 hear-ing impaired novice mothers in an auditorium where the sound system had failed.
As she detailed the proce-dure for changing the baby’s diaper, I gathered from her staccato commands she was attempting to reel in a tod-dler who never roamed into
my view. She was perturbed he was playing with his fa-ther’s cell phone which he had � lched from her hand-bag. Fortunately for all of us within range, to some degree his silence offset her mid-way barker decibel level.
Finally, when I was called into my doctor’s of� ce, I walked past her. She had her baby girl lying naked from the waist down on the well trod carpet. The tot’s naked-ness accounted for the em-barrassed glances from some of her younger male audi-ence.
A lesson in family dy-namics came to light on one lab visit when I witnessed
the greetings exchanged by two retirement-age ladies who clearly knew each other well. Both were tanned be-speaking Florida holidays.
“Have you been � shing this summer?” asked one.
The other woman practi-cally snorted. “No way! If I go � shing with the men, all I do is pack in the grocer-ies, cook, clean up, and tidy after the trip. If they want to go � shing, let them look after themselves.”
I wanted to cheer. Too of-ten I’ve heard stories of mom left with the scut work while dad and the grown sons � sh and kick back with a beer.
Another time when I had to zip my lip occurred in the lab when an elderly lady told the lab technician of her un-happiness with the way her husband would mix things up, things like his lab tests and prescription regimen, so that when he returned home he either didn’t or couldn’t tell her what he had learned. That left her uncertain how to care for him, especially his low salt diet.
She, too, made no effort to spare the rest of us from her complaints.
I gathered her husband had visited the lab alone.
Due to his advancing age and waning comprehension or memory, he had left, unclear about what had transpired, or any changes to his treatment plan. These were details she needed to be clear about.
Her solution was to ask the lab technician to write a note to send home with him of any information she should share.
I sympathized with her predicament. I’ve been there. But I would have suggested she accompany him to all medical appointments.
As we age, it is advisable for the caretaker spouse to accompany the ailing part-ner to all doctors’ visits, the lab, and if possible, be pres-ent during exams or any tests whether in a doctor’s of� ce or hospital setting. Or have an adult child or trusted friend go along, someone to act as a second set of ears, ask questions, clarify, take notes to keep instructions and information straight.
Apprehension may erase everything said to a patient. Go along with the patient. Take notes.

Ship crude by sea? Dangerous nonsense
Terrace Standard Wednesday, April 9, 2014 VIEWPOINTS www.terracestandard.com A7
I am against shipping bitu-men because of the risk of a spill on our coast. For the last two years I have spent a
great deal of time studying oil re-fineries, oil pipelines and tankers.
Bitumen, even if it is diluted, does not float in sea water if there is sediment present. Since there is an abundance of sediment along the BC coast, the bitumen will sink rapidly and there will be little chance of recovering any of it if there is a spill. Refining bitu-men before it is loaded into tank-ers solves this problem because refined fuels float and evaporate.
There is a great deal of mis-information being disseminated about the threat to the coast. A senior executive at one of the big oil companies in Canada recently told me their official position is that bitumen doesn’t sink. That is nonsense. The federal govern-ment published a thorough study on Nov. 30, 2013 proving that it does sink if there is sediment around. The report is available online.
The BC Chamber of Shipping is running ads talking about the advantages of GPS-based navi-
gation and saying spills such as Exxon Valdez would not be pos-sible today because of double hulls and sub-divisions within tankers.
Again, this is nonsense. Dou-ble hulls do not prevent hull frac-ture if there is a collision at speed, only if there is a gentle scrape.
As for the GPS claim, most marine accidents are caused by human inattention, not by a lack of knowledge about position.
All ships carried systems to indicate their location before GPS came along. The Exxon Valdez crew could have glanced at their instruments to determine their location but they didn’t. The crew on the Queen of the North also didn’t do so. Marine disas-ters regularly occur and a quick search of the internet shows hu-man error is usually the problem. There will be more accidents in future.
Our research has shown us that modern pipelines can be built and operated safely. Leak data is available for everyone to see on Canadian and US government websites and it proves recently constructed pipelines are not
leaking. Furthermore some of the best pipe line companies in the world are based in Canada.
Unfortunately we cannot have the same level of confidence about tankers which are the most critical component involving the shipment of oil because recovery is so difficult.
Exxon Valdez carried light oil and lost 250,000 barrels (the equivalent of 17 Olympic swim-ming pools). The light oil floated for the most part and could be
washed off beaches. Even so, af-ter four years of work with up to 11,000 workers and 1,400 boats involved, less than 10 per cent was recovered.
Bitumen is very different. It would harden up on shore and much of it would sink to the bot-tom and be unrecoverable. If we lost a tanker load, which is eight times greater than the Exxon Val-dez spill, we would destroy the coast and fishery for hundreds of years.
We should build a state-of-the art refinery at Kitimat to remove any chance of a bitumen spill at sea.
And of a refinery is built in Asia and not in Kitimat, and it will emit double the CO2 of our new design. An Asian refinery will also generate 100 train cars a day of very dirty coke which will be subsequently burnt in the atmosphere to create power. The Kitimat refinery will not result in the production of any coke. It is far better for the global envi-ronment to build this refinery in Canada.
Construction of the refinery will create 6,000 jobs here for
five years and approximately 3,000 skilled, highly-paid jobs afterward for the life of the refin-ery which should be in excess of 50 years. There will be thousands of spinoff jobs.
It is also our intention to build a safe pipeline and a fleet of new tankers, powered by LNG rather than Bunker C oil, to transport re-fined products to Asia. We have a solid business plan and as a con-sequence the money is available to build the greenest and most ef-ficient refinery in the world.
I am for creating thousands of good permanent jobs in BC, billions in new tax dollars, for reducing the planet’s greenhouse gas emissions and for building an oil pipeline that will never leak.
I am for building a new tanker fleet, owned by a BC company that cannot shirk its liability for a spill at sea, and that carries re-fined fuels that float and evapo-rate if spilled.

ENBRIDGE NORTHERN Gateway’s Janet Holder speaks to Terrace and District Chamber Commerce members in November of last year.
What’s in a headline? PlentyDear Sir:
A recent Terrace Standard article is in need of a rebuttal.
The title of the article (on-line March 27, 2014) reads: “Slim majority of Terrace chamber of commerce mem-bers support Enbridge North-ern Gateway project.”
That title is terribly mis-leading.
The first paragraph says: A SMALL majority of Terrace and District Cham-ber of Commerce members – 51.3 per cent – who filled out an online survey about Enbridge’s planned Northern
Gateway pipeline support the project.
Further on in the article it states only 41 of approximate-ly 290 members completed the survey.
So, if only 14 per cent of the chamber members replied to the survey, and if only 51.9
percent of those that replied support the project, that is only approximately seven per cent of the membership that support the project, not a small majority as the title claims.

Different rules for officers?Dear Sir:
At 6:44 p.m. today (Wednesday, March 26, 2014) I witnessed a female RCMP officer driving one of their new Ford AWD vehicles turning left through the 4-way stop from Hwy 16 westbound onto Hwy 37 southbound, steering one-handed while carrying on a conversation on a hand-held cellular phone.
If these new vehicles do not come equipped with hands-free bluetooth systems, I would like to know why not.
Had I been doing the same thing, I would deserved-ly be in possession of a citation for distracted driving.
Tim Keenan,Terrace, B.C.
Dear Sir:Normally of course I am reassured by the full page
Enbridge ads featuring Janet Holder, knowing that she and her team are on the case for all of us.
But lately there have been ads that have been some-how different. I noticed that the “pictures” of Dr. Ed Owens and Chris Anderson were not photos, but in-stead, seemed like either a charcoal drawing of one of those plaster busts that one might see in a museum or a court room artist's pencil sketch.
Anyway, after thinking about it further, I’m sure that Janet’s PR team just didn’t have time to get real photos to the newspaper by the deadline.

Makeover money available for downtown businessesBy ANNA KILLEN
SOME BUSINESSES in the downtown core are set to be spruced up over the spring and summer.
A grant of $20,000 was ap-plied for and received by the city from Northern Develop-ment Initiative Trust's (NDIT)Business Facade Improvement Program, and businesses will be able to apply for a portion of that money in the coming weeks.
“If a building is in the down-town core within our boundar-ies, and that runs from City Hall down to the legion and a couple of blocks up from the railway tracks up to Park Ave. for the most part, then they can apply,” explained Terrace Downtown Improvement Area (TDIA) Coordinator Dennis Lissimore.
This program is in line with what TDIA heard from com-munity members in last year's downtown study, he said.
“One of the comments out of the downtown study was about unsightly buildings,” he said. “This gives us some ability to help some of those people out, get the front of their buildings cleaned up and
maybe more consistent with some of the other buildings on the properties.”
A committee made up of three to � ve community mem-bers and headed by a TDIA board member will be struck to decide which applicants should receive money for im-provements – NDIT program guidelines specify that the grants are to be doled out in
minimum amounts of $1,000 to a maximum of $5,000 and are to be matched by the busi-ness. If all goes to plan, the fa-cade improvements should be completed by October.
According to the guide-lines, eligible facade improve-ments include things like ex-terior lighting, architectural features, siding, facade paint-ing, entrances and doorways,
awnings, signage. Landscaping, paving, fenc-
ing, wheelchair ramps, roofs and patios are not eligible.
Lissimore said the TDIA is still working out its own guidelines about what facade improvements it would like to most focus on, but said those should be available next week when the program applications begin to roll out. Murals – ei-ther new ones or touching up old ones – are something they are considering, as well.
One issue downtown busi-nesses struggle with when it comes to � xing up their build-ings is that some business owners do not own the actual building.
“You have a business that's in the property that wants to do something but it's actually the building owner that has to do the work and we have quite a whack of absentee landlords and that's where the problem arises,” he said. “They're pos-sibly not interested in spending money on any of their proper-ties. The people leasing the building can do the work, but they have to get the OK from the building owner and then at that point decide how it's paid for and that sort of thing.”

■ Going, going....OWNERS OF the building near the corner of Hwy 16 and Kalum St. on the southside sell everything they can prior to their closing April 6. A company from Vancouver has bought the building.
It was Erin Griffin from Urban Colour clothing boutique who advised Elephant’s Ear Lance Dettwiler on interior design to give his shop sharp, clear design features, and Rubin Bond from a church in Thornhill helped him redo the floors.
For Vogel, starting Xanders was a largely self-motivated chal-lenge, however, he said his friend James Cordeiro has offered busi-ness advice and Gemma’s Bou-tique has been supportive as well by mentioning Xanders in some of its own promotional material.
“Gemmas’s has been great in mentioning me in his radio ads. Cordeiro has been really helpful
in showing me the ins and outs,” said Vogel.
“I think competition is great for the consumer because it forc-es the competition to try to offer their customers the best goods possible,” Vogel continued in reference not only to the other two local shops but also Tim Horton’s down the street and the Starbucks located inside the Ter-race Safeway.
According to Cafenara own-er Sonny Yoo, it’s part of the “healthy competition” that is bringing out the best in all of the coffee shops in Terrace.
Other coffee shops in town include Shefield Express in the
Skeena Mall and various small vendors inside other stores.
Not only do the various own-ers look to each other for inspira-tion but also study closely what is happening in other areas.
Vogel said he went to the U.S. to study the art of roasting beans and Dettwiler said that he tries to get down to Vancouver on a regu-lar basis to soak in what the lat-est trends are in that large, rainy coffee-lovers city.
He said currently, outlets there feature light colours and simple, pared-back stylings, but that he wanted to keep a bit of the West Coast vibe flowing with the fire-place in his Terrace shop.

bcclassi� ed.comA MAN who crossed the U.S. border from Stewart into Hyder, Alaska with $80,000 cash in a hidden bag and then lied to a customs of� cer about it will spend his sentence in the community.
Benjamin Fromme, 28, will spend three months on a condi-tional sentence order with conditions and pay a � ne of $2,500 as ordered by Judge Cal-vin Struyk in provincial court here March 12.
When asked by Struyk if he had any-thing to say, Fromme apologized to the court.
“I realize I made a terrible mistake. At the time, I was under � nan-cial hardship and saw an easy way to make a quick couple of bucks, and to say I haven’t paid for it is an understate-ment,” said Fromme.
“I’m sorry for what I did. I’d also like the court to know I didn’t dishonour the Bible I swore on. Every word [of testimony] was the truth and to think I haven’t paid the price so far is not accurate...You’ll never be seeing me here again.”
Just after 2 a.m., Nov. 6, 2010, the Ca-nadian Border Services Agency of� cer at the Canada customs of-� ce on the border be-tween Hyder, Alaska and Stewart, B.C. saw a vehicle drive past into Hyder, stop brie� y, then turn around and attempt to re-enter Canada, court heard. The driver told the customs of� cer he had got lost on his way to Smithers and needed directions to get there, court heard.
When asked, he told her he was going to Smithers to buy quad ATV vehicles and re-peated that he was lost and needed directions, court heard. When asked if he’d purchased anything in Hyder or if he had any currency in excess of $10,000 with him or coming into the country afterward, he said no and that he thought he only had $100 or so, court heard.
In the vehicle, the customs of� cer found a blanket covering a bag containing stacks of money and the number $80,000 written in gold print, so she asked him again how much money there was, court heard.
He said more than $10,000, court heard.
She placed him un-der arrest, handcuffed him and told him it was for failing to properly declare the money as required. She continued the search of the car and found the money to-talled nearly $80,000, including U.S. currency.
During his trial,
while giving his tes-timony, Fromme said because of his � nancial problems, when a close personal friend offered to pay him $2,500 for carrying $80,000 from Whitehorse, Yukon Territory where From-me lives, to Smithers, B.C. he accepted, said Struyk in reviewing the circumstances before sentencing. Fromme suspected the money he was carrying to be from marijuana traf� cking, court heard.
In his wallet, he had a person’s contact num-ber on a piece of pa-per, which he ate when
stopped by the customs of� cer on his way back into B.C., court heard.
“Based on the evi-dence, I have no dif-� culty [believing] Mr. Fromme knew the mon-ey he was transporting came from narcotics,” said Struyk. Fromme had no intention of leaving the country when he left the Yukon; however, he did choose to participate in, and bene� t from, the illegal narcotics trade by trans-porting money and he is intelligent, articulate and capable of assess-ing the risk, said Struyk.
The circumstances
occurred through a set of errors, including missing the turnoff to Smithers and ending up in Stewart, crossing an international border into the U.S. and then lying to a customs of-� cer, said Struyk.
Fromme was not in-volved in narcotics oth-erwise, court heard.
“I certainly hope it’s his last foray into narcotics,” said Struyk. He noted that Fromme had no criminal record, had been on conditions since November 2010 without problem and had the support of fam-ily and friends.

Kia taking on the small cars from the big guys
HUNTINGTON BEACH, CALIFORNIA – Kia rounds out its attack on the country’s best-sell-ing cars with the launch of the final two models to the Forte lineup.Last year Kia introduced their all-new Forte sedan to compete with such top sellers as the Honda Civic, Mazda3, Toyota Corolla and Hyun-dai Elantra. This week, the 5-door hatchback version called Forte5 and the coupe, called Forte Koup begin arriving in dealerships.The launch of these two vehicles took us from Huntington Beach, California, through the mountains and desert to Borrego Springs and then back through the mountains to San Diego. The terrain varies from massive California highways to very twisty mountain passes and vast desert valleys. Stunning scenery and a recommended drive for any sightseer or driving enthusiast. LooksThe Forte5 is the more practical of the two new Kias with a hatchback design that sets it apart from the competition. Many competitors don’t offer a hatch so this is sure to be noticed by people who need extra storage and passenger room. Sold with a new base 2.0L engine or an optional 1.6L turbo engine, there are varied looks depending on which trim is chosen. The non-turbo Forte5 gets a front grille similar to the sedan with a smaller lower intake and a larger grille opening. The Forte5 SX turbo gets the same grille as the Koup, with the opposite
front treatment, a bigger lower opening and a smaller, more aggressive grille. The great news is that all Forte5 and Koup models come with alloy wheels; 16-inches on the Forte5 and 18-inch alloys on the turbo version. The Koup has 17-inch base alloys or 18-inches on the turbo.InsideI drove the top Turbo version of the Forte5 and the base, non-turbo version of the Koup. Both have an amazing level of interior refinement. If you have ever questioned that Kia knows how to make good quality cars, just look at these new products. The switches and dials look and feel first rate and the layout is logical and easy to use. Koup can actually fit adults up to six feet. The dash has either a conventional radio layout with a smaller screen but when the backup camera is added on either model, the screen jumps to 6-inch-es and becomes a touchscreen device. If the buyer wants the navigation system, then the top turbo model with luxury package is needed. The front seats sit high off the floor for good outward visibility. What continues to amaze me is the level of equipment Kia offers from standard Bluetooth and satellite radio to optional heated and cooled seats, heated rear seats, heated steering wheel, power folding outside mirrors and more. True luxury touches.DriveKia has put some punch into both the base and turbo versions of the Forte5 and Koup. The base engine is a large 2.0L direct injection engine with 173hp. In comparison, the top selling Civic has 143hp. The turbo model gets a 1.6L direct
injection engine with a solid 201hp and 195 lb.-ft. of torque that comes on at a very low 1750 RPM. The turbo also gets a stiffer suspension, bigger wheels, sharper steering feel and shorter gear ratios from first to third gear. This makes the car livelier and handles better but it also makes the car a bit twitchy on the highway when driving straight.
The base 2.0L would be my choice. 173hp is loads for a car of this size and the smaller wheels and less aggressive suspension might be a better day-to-day driver. Ei-ther way, Kia has kicked things up a notch and both are fun to drive and never feel underpowered.
VerdictThe Forte5 starts at $19,495 and tops out at $28,395 for a turbo with navigation. The Koup comes with a few extra standard features and it runs from $20,895-$28,695. Some might think that the higher end models are getting expensive but they have features such as dimming rearview mirrors, power outside mirrors and heated rear seats that are not generally avail-able in this class.Kia has been growing steadily since it entered Canada 15 years
ago, and with new products like the Forte5 and Koup, there’s no reason to believe the trend will [email protected]

Safety Tip:Auto crime incidents continue to plummet across the province but there’s still more we can do to deter thieves and
protect our vehicles. Use an anti-theft device, park in secure, well-lit areas, remove all valuables and always lock your doors.

Confessions of a Curber...Meet Walt. He lives with his wife and two teenagers in a quiet neighbourhood. Walt goes to work every morning, provides for his family and chats with his neighbours. Walt has a secret. He’s no Walter White from“Breaking Bad.” But, his love for quick cash and high profi ts drive him to a sideline that makes us all a little less safe and costs some their savings. Walt is a curber.
Walt has no shame! This week he sells a stolen car.

Buying used? We’re looking out for you. Find out how at WatchoutforWalt.com
Noodling on the web one morning I found out that I was selling vehicles illegally. If I was in the business of selling, I need to be licensed as a dealer.Oh well. Everything’s been working out just fi ne for me. I skated through those recent bad deals. My previous sales were a distant memory – I was eager to start selling more. So, I decided to up my game a bit. I got a low-end truck and a car from an auction and another car from a new parking lot friend. I put ads for all three vehicles on Craigslist. Of course my ads said they were all real gems. You’d think people might see through my ads. “Need to sell fast, so price is fl exible. Call with best offer.” And my cell number was the same for all three. Would anybody notice?The fi rst two cheaper vehicles sold quickly.The last one took a bit longer to sell. Of course, it was the one I was most eager to sell. Why, you ask?Well, not that I passed the information along, but the auction provided vehicle history reports for the fi rst two. I had no information on the last.So, I bought ICBC and CarProof vehicle history reports. I wanted to educate myself. To my surprise, there was a statement in both reports that the vehicle was possibly “stolen*.”I knew I had to sell it fast. I mean, I’d paid for it and I knew my new “friend” wouldn’t take it back.Four days later, I got a call from a young
woman. She asked if the car would fi t a family of four. “Defi nitely!” I practically screamed. I was a wreck during this sale. I just needed to get rid of this car – fast. I told the nice lady the details of the car. Apart from being stolen, it was pretty nice!I told her I was in a hurry to visit my mum in the hospital. She was in a hurry too – her three-year-old was anxious, pulling at her pant legs. She seemed to not want to be there as much as me. Finally, she agreed to buy the car. Phew! I was saved. Whatever happens next, I don’t care. It’s her problem not mine.I quickly changed my phone number (again). Weeks later, I saw her on the news – with kid still at pant legs – talking to a reporter. Apparently, the car was towed away by the police. And yes, she was trying to fi nd me. Had I covered my tracks? I agonized.
*How can a stolen vehicle be sold? Curbers often break the law by bridging a title. Instead of registering a vehicle in their name within 10 days after a purchase, as required, they leave it in the name of the previous owner. This keeps their name out of the chain of title and from being caught with a stolen vehicle or one that would not be able to be registered or insured for another reason.
Confessions of a Curber
“Apart from being stolen, it was pretty nice!”

The Dodge Dart has held its own in a sporty compact segment where competition is fierce.Perhaps it is because of its value, the various engine choices or that it has some pretty cool features (like available under-the-front-seat-cushion storage) and a fresh style – inside and out – the Dart seems to be a hit.Two years in, Chrysler has loaded it up with an en-gine full of gusto, unique styling cues and added a couple of letters on the back and now we have the Dodge Dart GT.What sets it apart from its siblings are a stretched-down grille and LED headlights. You’ll find the rear clad with the ‘Racetrack’ LED lights that run the full length of the trunk.Then there’s a set of 18-inch wheels come standard on this vehicle along with a 2.4L, MultiAir, 4-cylinder Tiger-shark engine, matched with a 6-speed manual transmis-sion, that brings to the pavement 184 horsepower and 171 lb-ft of torque. Of all the characteristics I like about this trim of Dart, I think its transmission is the weakest link. In previous re-views of other Dart models – like the 1.4L, Turbocharged version with 160 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque – the gear throws are, in my opinion, too long to really give it that edge and sporty vibe that it needs to compete with vehicles like the VW GTI, Honda Civic Si or even the Ford Focus ST. The gear throws are long and the clutch has little weight to it, taking away the performance aspect of the GT that it should have.On the flip side, the light clutch works favourably in the urban environment. This setup makes being stuck in traf-fic bearable.Getting back to the gearbox, I really wanted to like the Dart more. I really did. So I concocted scenarios in my mind to figure out a way to not be so sad about its lack of panache. I think I found one. Buyers of the GT will like what they get for the value.After all, it has a starting MSRP of $21,995. That’s thou-sands less than the aforementioned competitors. And some buyers of vehicles who want that extra kick don’t necessarily need all the sports sedan-like char-acteristics. They want power but in a comfortable and affordable package.Furthermore, they enjoy added touches like a leather-wrapped heated steering wheel, GT specific sport leather
seats, a Parkview rear backup camera and more. The interior has a pleasant look to it and it’s very agree-able to drive. On the highway, special attention from designers and engineers were paid to make sure you drive in a quiet cabin.Minimal road noise entered the GT’s cabin, allowing my passengers and I to enjoy the musical stylings of various bands being listened to on the Alpine premium stereo system with nine speakers (an additional $1,295 for this sun and sound package.) The sun portion of the package adds a power express open/close sunroof to the mix.After I switched into this mindset, I found I was able to alleviate my frustrations of what the GT didn’t have, but what it did have.Additionally, a feature that I love about the Dart – and all other Dodge/Jeep/Chrysler products – is the Ucon-nect media interface. The GT comes standard with the 8.4-inch touchscreen and is a dream to work with. Large icons, easy prompts and a no-fuss approach to pairing your handheld device to the Bluetooth system all come standard.Whether taking the GT for a drive in the city or on the open road, it does have some solid legs to stand on.

Dart GT could be edgier but delivers value
2014 Dodge Dart. ALEXANDRA STRAUB
Marseille, France – The mid-sized C-Class is the most popular and affordable Mercedes-Benz sedan and about 8.5 million of them have been produced, since it was origi-nally introduced in 1993. Mercedes engineering typically operates on a seven-year “circle of life” production run and an all-new generation of C-Class will arrive in Canada, as a 2015 model year vehicle, this summer.In brief, it’s a bigger and better C-Class, however, real progress is in the details. This C-Class is lighter, safer, comes with a choice of two more powerful (yet more fuel-efficient) new engines, uses even more ad-
vanced technologies, plus its body is more aerodynamic and, to my eyes, better looking. The South of France global launch location, even though I had to share it with over 800 other auto hacks, was another nice bonus - more later...There’s no pricing available at this time, but we do know the initial trim levels offered in Canada will be a C300 and a C400. A sporty AMG edition, called the C63, will also be added to the line in January 2015. Although not official, a diesel edition is also expected to be added in 2015. At this event Mercedes was also showing a Euro-destined hybrid-diesel edition. An optional (Airmatic) air suspension is offered for the first time in C-Class.
It allows a driver to choose between Comfort, Eco, Sport, and Sport+ set-tings via an Agility Select switch on the console. The 4MATIC all-wheel drive system is, as before, the other major option. Also available is a Sport Package that includes AMG trim upgrades, wheels and front brake system.The C-class has classic rear-drive vehicle proportions with a long hood (with a choice of two front grilles) and a short rear deck. It looks like a smaller version of the top-line, and redesigned last year, S-class, espe-cially the new LED headlights and taillights. Compared to the current C-Class it’s longer, lower and wider

wider and is now close in size to a 90s E-Class. Its extended wheelbase also helps create more interior space, especially for rear seat pas-sengers.The big change under-hood is a four-cylinder turbocharged 2.0-litre, in the C300, that’s max rated at 235 horsepower and 273 lb-ft of torque. While it produces more power than the outgoing base V6, I found the initial power surge, when you push on the gas pedal, overly aggressive. In fairness, the North American edition will come with different throttle mapping. The twin-turbocharged 3.0-litre V6 in the C400, on the other hand, is a beauty. It can pump-out up to 329
horsepower and 354 lb-ft of torque. More importantly, it does so in a quieter, smoother and effortless fashion that most drivers expect when at the wheel of a Mercedes. Both engines come with idle fuel saving start/stop systems and are mated to a 7-speed automatic transmission. The list of standard and available high-tech active safety features is simply amazing. It includes almost everything that’s available in the top-line S-Class, which is touted as the world’s safest car. Intelligent Drive is an optional suite of tech-nologies that includes autonomous braking with pedestrian recogni-tion, a low-speed heavy traffic
auto-pilot feature, active parking assist and a 360-degree camera setup with numerous views of im-mediate surroundings. Bordering on frivolous, there’s an Air-Balance in-car perfuming system ... to prolong that new-car Mercedes smell. Another one is a GPS-linked climate-control system tech feature that automatically switches it to “recirculation” mode when a C-Class is driven into a tunnel. The test drive actually did include a few tunnels and there are lots of them in and under Marseille. It’s the second largest city in France and its busiest port with numer-ous ferries to other Mediterranean
destinations. Our drive route took us out of the city on a circular mostly rural route around the outskirts of Marseille and ended at the picturesque small harbor community of Cassis. A mountain drive along the Route des Cretes (Route of the Ridges) was spectacular. It’s a narrow, winding high-elevation road with pull-offs at numerous view locations. Even with the (100 kg) weight reduction, this C-Class is sublimely stable on the road. The switch to a full electronic assist rack and pinion steering system, called Direct Steer, is also flawless. There are fuel economy and active safety benefits.Inside the seating is typical Mer-
cedes with easy to find power con-trols on the door panel. Generous in size, yet excellent support and a good range of adjustable elements didn’t give my weak back a reason to complain, even after many hours of driving. The restyled dash is an elegant and less fussy design, thanks mainly to a new Touchpad controller that eliminates a multitude of switches. It can recognise both single and multi-finger gestures, wiping move-ments, zoom finger gestures, even user handwriting. That said, the stand-alone display screen looks out of place, as if an afterthought I-Pad was attached to the dash. Overall, this C-Class is sure to please both purists and newcom-

Snowmobiler and Winter Recreation Users Public Safety Notice
Snowmobilers and winter recreationalists (cross country skiers, snow shoers, etc.) should be aware that the Northwest Transmission Line (NTL) is under construction, and the NTL right-of-way remains a construction zone with restricted access. This is required to avoid safety risks associated with such things as unmarked guy lines, construction materials and other potential hazards along the right-of-way, as well as for public and worker safety as construction activities continue.
In particular, over the past year many of the transmission structures for the NTL project have been installed. Most of these structures are supported by currently unmarked guy lines which can be very difficult to see against a snow background.
Please avoid using the right-of-way for your activities. If you are in the area, take extra care when travelling in the vicinity of the transmission structures.
If you have any questions, please contact BC Hydro stakeholder engagement: 1 866 647 3334 or send an email to [email protected]

THE ROYAL Canadian Legion in BC/Yukon is involved in a pro-gram whereby Veterans suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Dis-order (PTSD) can be partnered with specially trained dogs that assist them with daily jobs and activities, and more importantly, these dogs provide the Veteran with emotional support.
Just a few of the things these dogs are trained for are: Assisting the Veteran to find exits, Alert-ing outside help during a crisis, Waking Veterans from night ter-rors, Rousing the Veteran from fear paralysis, And many, many more tasks.
The dogs can also be trained to assist Veterans with reduced mobility and other medical conditions. This training costs $10,000 a year for each dog and the Legion is planning on train-ing 10 dogs in 2014.
For training and delivery of this program, the Legion works
with Courageous Companions, an organization that trains PTSD Service Dogs. All expenses for adoption, one-on-one training, vet check ups, even food if nec-essary, are free to a Veteran who is suffering from Clinically Di-agnosed PTSD.
And yes, Branch #13 in Ter-race donates to the Legion Foun-dation that sponsors this program from monies raised in this gener-ous community.
How does the Legion in Ter-race raise the money for dona-tions to such worthwhile causes?
In some cases limited amounts can be donated from the Poppy Fund because this is exclusively for Veterans in need. Monies the Branch raises at such activities as Garage Sales, Meat Draws and Steak Nights goes toward charities such as these and also to needy projects here at home – i.e. equipment for the hospital.
Coming up the weekend of
April 26, the Branch will be host-ing a zone meeting for all the Le-gions in the Northwest.
All members are invited to attend the meetings which com-mence at 9 a.m. on Saturday April 26, and on that evening commencing at 6:30 p.m,. there will be a special Steak Night.
This is open to all members and bona fide guests whether or not you attended the meetings.
The Ladies Auxiliary is hold-ing a pie sale in the Branch on April 12 and we all know how good those pies are. Come on out and you can get a whole pie in-stead of just one slice.
Looking ahead to May 10, the Legion will be hosting a garage sale from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Everyone is welcome to at-tend this function and donations are welcome. Applications for membership will be available – you too could be a Legionnaire.
We will Remember Them.

1-800-222-TIPS (8477)TEXT A TIP TO “TERRACE” send 274637(CRIMES)By JOSH MASSEY
REPRESENTATIVES FROM two regional sustainability groups asked city council April 1 to vote in favour of a push for a combined environmental and economic assessment of proposed liquefied natural gas (LNG) proj-ects.
The request was in-cluded in a presentation by Nadia Nowak repre-senting the Northwest Institute, a Smithers-based nonprofit advo-cacy group focused on sustainable develop-ment, and Greg Knox, director of SkeenaWild Conservation Trust.
Council heard and responded to the re-search conducted by both groups into the environmental impacts of up to 15 pipeline and LNG processing plant proposals for the region.
“It's coming at us fast and furious,” said mayor Dave Pernarows-ki after their presenta-tion, which examined the implication of a potential $100 billion flooding into Northwest industrial development, altering life for those in the area while also being integral to the global economy and en-vironment.
Knox argued that a comprehensive environ-mental review guided by both historical and current data would en-able the provincial and federal governments to make wise decisions about coming LNG de-velopments.
Such a request is currently submitted to the North Central Lo-cal Government As-sociation (NCLGA) in the form of a resolution that will be voted on by members of local gov-ernments attending the AGM May 7 to 9 in Fort St. John.
The resolution re-quests “that NCLGA re-quests that the Province of BC and First Nations convene and co-chair a Strategic Economic and Environmental Impact Assessment of LNG development in British Columbia.”
Both Knox and Nowak displayed stats and graphs to council that showed the envi-ronmental effects if all
five of the LNG facili-ties proposed for Kiti-mat and Prince Rupert went through.
They showed that this maximal scenario would see total green-house gas emissions of three-quarters that of the Alberta oil sands by 2020.
Knox also raised the spectre of what hugely increased nitrogen ox-ide emissions from the burning of gas used to supercool the LNG to 160 degrees below zero, for transport by ship to foreign markets, would mean for the Terrace-Kitimat area airshed.
Research he present-ed shows a 500 per cent increase of nitrogen ox-ide, a compound that has similar effects as sulphur dioxide, which
is another emission the Rio Tinto Alcan mod-ernization project is al-ready going to increase in its enhanced opera-tion.
Effects of both types of emission cause re-spiratory problems for at-risk groups such as those with asthma, and have an impact on rain-bow trout, amphibians, steelhead and local plants due to acid rain, said Knox.
Councillor Bruce Bidgood said council could “advocate for dual drives” to electrify the LNG cooling facili-ties using hydro power as a partial alternative to gas, though Knox said the Ministry of Energy and Mines has already made a decision to use gas generation as the sole means to generate power for the plants.
Councillor Brian Downie pointed out some uncertainty sur-rounding the numbers and stats presented, which Knox and Nowak acknowledged, saying that the research they have done is only the beginning.
Concern raised by their preliminary find-ings led them to the conclusion that a uni-fied assessment needs to be done.
“Because there is so much uncertainty in communities, they are
trying to play catchup,” said Nowak, citing 10,000 workers project-ed to have come to the area if the major LNG projects go through.
Downie reminded them that the Northwest is in need of a sustain-able economy as well as a sustainable environ-ment.
Knox illustrated that some of the LNG pro-posals don't make sense environmentally and ec-onomically, for instance the dredging of the sea bottom around Lulu Is-land where the Pacific Northwest LNG termi-nal is to be built, where he said long-recognized vital salmon habitat ex-ists.
Bidgood said that he thinks overall Terrace city council sees LNG development in a fa-vourable light.
But he also agreed with the motion to ad-vocate for a cumulative impact assessment at NCLGA, after which individual councils could table their own resolutions.
Knox said the pro-vincial government has finished an airshed im-pact study for Kitimat and area which he is hoping will be released this month.
Councillor Lynne Christiansen thanked Knox and Nowak for “their guardianship.”

Thornhill, businesses left out of recyclingBy JOSH MASSEY
WHEN THE new curb-side recycling program comes to life in Terrace May 19, the service will not be offered in Thorn-hill or to businesses.
This has caused some to call for a broader sys-tem that includes not only Thornhill but all of greater Terrace and policies that encourage commercial recycling.
Multi-Material BC (MMBC) is the orga-nization overseeing a province-wide curbside collection program for participating munici-palities to collect paper, cardboard and other packaging of consumer projects in a system paid for entirely by the businesses that produce the packaged products.
According to Re-gional District of Kiti-mat Stikine (RDKS) director manager Roger Tooms, Thornhill didn’t qualify for an MMBC incentive because it doesn’t have curbside garbage collection like is offered in the City of Terrace.
But now the regional
district has put out a request for proposals for curbside garbage collection and if it suc-ceeds in finding a con-tractor, then Tooms wants MMBC to con-sider contributing to a recycling program for the greater Terrace area.
“The curbside col-lection of refuse and re-cycling for the Terrace area—for Thornhill, North Terrace, Lakelse Lake, Jackpine Flats, Gossen Creek all the way up to Usk and New and Old Remo—all of these we are consider-ing for a curbside refuse collection program,” said Tooms.
“In a parallel pro-cess, we are asking for a request for quotes to provide a collection of the MMBC materi-als. We’re looking for quotes to pick up the MMBC material from the curb and trip it off somewhere so we can consider this additional service,” he added.
That way the RDKS could qualify for an in-centive such as Terrace receives, which is ap-proximately $134,000
per year based on popu-lation.
“We made it clear through the board that we intend on initiating a curbside collection program for the (great-er) Terrace area and we want to be collecting the MMBC product and we want to be able to be compensated and we want to drop that prod-uct off at the processing facility that is going to serve the Terrace area,” said Tooms, noting there is no set timeline for the projects.
Currently, recycling material is slated to be processed through the Do Your Part facil-ity owned by Casey Lewis, which is being retrofitted to accommo-date the curbside mate-rial dropped off by city trucks beginning this May.
Another option would be a separate drop-off depot of some sort, said Tooms, but so far that hasn’t been a feasible option within the MMBC system.
The MMBC pro-gram also does not pay for commercial recy-
cling, and local govern-ment and business peo-ple like regional district environmental services coordinator Margaret Kujat and Rob Geier, owner of Geier Waste Services, have pointed out that to really cut down on material enter-ing landfills that com-mercial recycling would be a necessity.
Terrace sustainabil-ity coordinator Tara Irwin agrees with this principle, but said it’s not within the mandate of the city to provide commercial recycling.
“I agree that divert-ing commercial material is a very important piece of the overall diversion puzzle, we would be challenged to ‘institute’ commercial recycling collection, as there has not been a feasible op-portunity for diversion for many of the major commercial producers, and it is not within our municipal function to set up a commercial re-cycling facility,” Irwin said in an email.
Right now, business-es can have their recy-cling picked up by Do
Your Part, or use Waste Management Services, both private operations.
Irwin said that what the city can do to in-centivize recycling for commercial enterprise is to ban certain mate-rials from the landfill, which it has already
done with rubber tires.She said they might
ban cardboard as well.“As more recycling
options become avail-able for the commercial sector, we will continue to look at the possibil-ity of a cardboard ban at the City of Terrace
landfill,” said Irwin.The MMBC pro-
gram is being opposed by a number of business groups, including the BC and Yukon Com-munity Newspapers As-sociation, of which The Terrace Standard is a member.

TERRACE’S JOHN Evans (back middle) and his rink won the Bear Creek Contracting B event – in an extra end with a � nal draw to the button for the win – at the 59th Loggers Bonspiel in Terrace two weekend ago. On the left is lead Gordie Olson and on the right is third Andrew Simpson.
Loggers Bonspiel draws a crowd
TERRACE’S CAM Hundal will be staying in Victoria, signing on with the Victoria Highlanders FC for the 2014 Premier Development League season after three successful years with the University of Victoria Vikes.
“Playing with UVic over the past few years has enabled me to become familiar with the players, staff, fans, and city so the transition won’t be dif� -cult,” said Hundal.
He � nished his third year of eligibility in a tie as the teams leading goal scorer, and posted 13 points (11 goals, 2 assists) in 14 regular season games over the 2013 season.
“Obviously since the Vikes won nationals in 2011 Cam has been a popular � gure in this town and we know his tal-ent and that he’s a good quality player,” said Highlanders head coach Steve Simonson.
Following UVic’s CIS na-tional championship win in 2011, Hundal was named both a CIS Tournament MVP and CIS Tournament All-Star. In 2011, he was also Canada West Rookie of the Year and was named a Canada West All-Star in each of his � rst three colle-giate years.
“He’s caused us grief as a Whitecap,” said Simonson. “He can run, dribble, set-up and score goals. He’s a player I’ve had my eye on for a couple of years.”
Hundal spent several years as a member of the Vancouver Whitecaps prospect and U-23
programs. “I love to embrace new challenges,” said Hundal. “I believe it is an essential part of growing as a player. Chang-ing the environment I play in will enable me to learn, im-prove and hopefully open up some new doors in the future. The Highlanders are a great organization, and they proved it last year. I think one of the reasons this team is so success-ful is because all members of the organization have the same intended goal - to win a PDL Championship.”
And he’ll be joining several familiar faces on the pitch, as a number of former Vikes are on the Highlander squad.
“It’s always fun to play with players that you know so well, but it’s also very bene� cial as we know each other’s tenden-cies. It helps to build chemis-try within the team, which is extremely useful in a league where the season is so short.”
Hundal and the Highlanders kick-off their 2014 PDL cam-paign May 4.

TERRACE’S ONLY Special Olympic skater is making the northwest proud.
Laura Dale, 22, quali� ed for provincials at the Totem Skat-ing Competition in Fort. St. John March 1 and 2, skating above stan-dard in the Level 3 Special Olym-pics event.
It’s year one of a four year cycle in Special Olympics competition, and this was Dale’s � rst time at quali� ers. Special Olympics pro-vincials are February, 2015 in Ka-mloops.
“This is the best thing that ever happened to me,” said Dale, who is in her sixth year of � gure skating with the Terrace Skating Club.
To qualify, Dale skated a re-quired element routine and a freeskate solo to music from Ro-meo and Juliet. The slow piece al-lows Laura to show off her inter-pretation and emotion, combined with jumps and spins.
Her spins include the ‘back spin’ and the ‘sit spin’. Her jumps consist of ‘waltz jump, toe-loop jump, and salchow jump’.
She also had a chance to meet Level 6 Special Olympics Skater Darlene Jakubowski.
From Dawson Creek, Jakubowski has progressed past provincials to nationals and on to the Special Olympics world cham-pionships twice.
And the Terrace Skating Club’s winter season is winding down, with skaters returning from the � nal tournament in Kelowna with strong results. Newcomer Maya Lecuyer brought home two silver medals and Jorden Hendry, in her � nal competition with club, bring-ing home a bronze.
“We are going to miss her very much,” said the club’s Elaine San-chez of Hendry, who is off to uni-versity in the fall.
The club now moves to spring school in Kitimat, and plans on keeping the athletes motivated with a spring/summer off ice schedule with gymnastics, yoga, off ice jumps, and strengthening.
CURLERS FROM all over the northwest descended on Terrace two weekends ago for the 59th Loggers Bonspiel, Terrace’s largest curling event of the season.
The Johnny Williams Memorial A event trophy, sponsored by Re-max Coast Mountains, was won by the Vanderstar Team from Smithers – skip Ron Vanderstar, third Adam Harnett, second Len Vanderstar, and lead Al Wiensczyk. They beat team Kennedy for the trophy.
John Evans of Terrace, with skip
John Evans, third Andrew Simpson, second Brent Rodgers, and lead Gordie Olsen, beat team Rauter from Terrace to win the Bear Creek Contracting B event.
Michael Dahms of Prince George beat team Illing from Kiti-mat in the Spring Creek Aggregates C event – skip Michael Dahms, third Chris Calder, second JT Blan-chet, and lead Matt Gyor� .
The Hawkair D event was won by Les Kutenics of Terrace – skip Les Kutenics, third Jules Lafrance,
second Aaron Budden, and lead Clinton Budden. They beat Morgan from Kitimat.
The boat races at the mugup was won by skip Chad Sallenback, third Warren Copeland, second Shane Dejong, and lead Dave Reniero from Terrace.
And John Kennedy won the To-tem Ford Hot Shot Challenge.
It was a great bonspiel that all the volunteers made a huge suc-cess. Next year’s 60th annual should bring 48 teams to Terrace.

TERRACE’S ONLY Special Olympics � gure skater, Laura Dale, right, with veteran skater Darlene Jakubowski.
We continued North on the Arlington-Darrington High-way. The land changed from farm to forests. Just past the
Lake Cavanaugh Road we turned south at Oso, the small hamlet that had built up around the Deer Creek confluence. A warm wind riffled the leaves of hardwood trees. In the shade of those trees were a handful of small buildings, bigger than huts but smaller than cabins. There were larger cab-ins too.
The smaller structures, big enough for a bed, a table, a hot plate, and an ice box, were obviously the seasonal abodes – some rented, others owned – of the anglers who had arrived each summer since the 1920s to fish the fabled steelhead bound for Deer Creek.
Bob must rent one of these places, I said to Karen, referring to the flyfisherman we’d met on the river just above the Cicero Bridge.
Bob, I learned years later after reading his book Steelhead Water, then discussing it with my dear friend, Bob Taylor, was Bob Arnold, an Oso regular, was a central figure in the fight to save Deer Creek from the ravages timber mining.
Walt Johnson lived in Oso year round at that time. I’d read about his exploits with small bamboo rods and floating flies. I spoke to Walt twice. He had a wealth of information and many intriguing theo-ries about the way steelhead react to flies. But, what struck me in particular was his
description of how the Deer Creek had de-clined, a story so similar to the decline of rivers in my backyard.
Fly fishers get up close and deeply per-sonal with their streams. Nobody watched Deer Creek more closely or were more sensitive to its perturbations than Walt Johnson and Bob Arnold. It wasn’t rigor-ous science, but their catches were probably as good an indicator of the decline of Deer Creek summer steelhead as any. Because they were standing in it day after day, they noticed changes in turbidity, silt deposition, the movement of gravel.
After observing small but troubling changes for more than a decade, the an-glers watched the creek turn the colour of mud in the Fall of 1984 and stay muddy for a long time. Bob alerted the appropri-ate bureaucrats and as a result Al Zander, a hydrologist in the Washington Forest Ser-vice, was dispatched to find the cause of the turbidity. At the confluence of DeForest Creek, Zander discovered a large chunk of old growth forest anchoring unstable soils, so widespread in temperate rain forests, had been removed. The clear cutting was
followed by the burn-ing of slash piles, which sterilized soils inhibiting regeneration. Then, the kind of rain that gives rain forests their name had super saturated the soils causing a cata-strophic collapse that deposited tons of silt into both creeks.
Bob organized a pub-lic meeting that gener-ated so much outrage it led to the formation of an interagency commit-tee whose mandate was to halt all industrial ac-tivity in the Deer Creek drainage and mend the existing damage. De-
spite considerable effort and a lot of money spent on road stabilization, silt fences, shot rock, and replanting, the latter task proved impossible.
In 1990 there were fewer than 200 sum-mer steelhead in Deer Creek and the native Dolly Varden were probably extinct. All its pools were smaller and shallower, and a higher rate of runoff caused increases in water temperature that were lethal to juve-nile fish.
While logging had been halted sur-rounding Deer Creek, it continued else-where. Large cuts were made high above the hill that over looks Oso. In successive
years more smaller cuts were made adja-cent to the large cut blocks. Tears began to appear as small earth flows began in the land below, then, in 2006 a major slump reached the valley bottom pushing the Stillaguamish toward the village. At 11 in the morning of March 22nd, the rest of the slide buried Oso. The death toll rises in the worst disaster in the history of Washington State.
The Oso tragedy wasn’t an act of God. It was an act of man – specifically poor logging practises on unstable land. The Oso slide was presaged by the DeForest slide. Both slides could have been prevent-ed if the government agencies had man-aged logging in such a way as to ensure the integrity of every fish bearing stream and the welfare of its denizens. Doing this would have meant careful road building, selective harvesting, significantly reduced cut blocks, no logging on steep slopes, aggressive restocking of sites, and large protected riparian zones. Fish, as Bob and Walt, and the many anglers concerned for the welfare of Deer Creek understood, are at the centre of things; taking care of fish is ecologically and economically sound and doing so can avert disasters. It’s a shame more people didn’t pay the anglers of Deer Creek much heed. If they had, and acted accordingly, the water of Deer Creek would still be clear and as cold as ice, a thousand steelhead would return to it every year, and, Oso wouldn’t be lying under a sea of mud today.

MEMBERS OF Terrace’s Shogun Dojo have a lot of fun. “This karate and kickboxing class is more than just a student/teacher kind of thing,” said teammate Nick Yasinchuk, middle row, fourth from left. “We’re all friends.”
FOR THE first time as an independent club, Terrace’s Shogun Dojo took to the ring at Vancouver’s Tiger Balm competition – and they did not disappoint.
The 12 fighters – some as young as seven – found they were competitive against Lower Mainland clubs and brought home scores of medals to prove it.
“This is the first time as an independent club that we brought small kids to a large competition – and we did amazing,” said sensei Amber Pipe. “The most impressive to me was their kata, and that’s thanks to sensei Karin Lots. She focusses on kata and she’s spent a lot of time working with the kids and it really paid off.”
Indeed, almost all of the younger athletes said that kata was their favourite part of the tournament, with nine-year-old Mary Bell saying karate helps her re-member to “try your best.”
And four athletes quali-fied for Team Canada – Rob-bie Cline, Nick Yasinchuk, Shawn Devcic, and Farren Devcic – and there were a number of unexpected wins for first time tournament at-tendees.
“I knew it was possible, I didn’t actually expect it to happen,” said Yasinchuk, of qualifying for Team Canada.
“That was a cool feeling,” said his teammate, Cline. Tiger Balm was his second tournament, and while he said he was less nervous this
time he’s “got a lot to prove still.”
For Yasinchuk, it’s not just about winning. He said he and the other members of the dojo make a point to thank the referees after a match and to be respectful of their opponents.
“In those tournaments it’s
really easy to get so wound up in the fighting, that you actually harbour resentment afterwards,” said Yasinchuk. “It’s important to remember that you were there to have fun and at the end of the fight, it was just for fun.”
Sensei Rajan Sangha was impressed that the athletes
were able to adapt to the dif-ferent styles at the tourna-ment.
“Nick got in there and won gold in two division and silver in his other division, that’s pretty good consider-ing he’s never fought San shou or kickboxing with leg kicks,” he said.
And Adrian Babcock, new to the dojo and in his first year of kickboxing, also exceeded expectations.
“He had a very big con-tinuous category and won every fight except the last one for gold,” said Sangha.
“He was 6’5”,” inter-jects Babcock, who before
trained with Shane Palahick-ey – Sensei Pipe credits his former coach for his respect-ful demeanor and skill level.
“It was intimidating,” said Babcock. But he stuck to his training. “I train with Robbie, he’s a big guy... bob and weave, bob and weave.”
Pipe said the tournament proved the club is on the right track.
“I think the dojo is doing the best it’s ever done in 15 years. We’ve got some very dedicated students and I think we have a lot of room to grow together as a team and a family. I couldn’t be prouder,” she said, noting the support of community businesses like Trigo’s and Terrace Totem Ford for help-ing the club grow.
Here are the full results: Robbie Cline: Gold in kata, gold in point fighting, second in grade nationals; Kaden Roy: Gold in continuous, silver in point; Adrian Bab-cock: Silver in submission grappling, silver in Brazilian ju jitsu, silver in continuous, gold in point fighting; Nick Yasinchuk: Gold in continu-ous, gold in point, silver in San shou; Justin Hill: Gold in kata, silver in point; David Low-Brady: Gold in modi-fied pankration; Rain Wes-ley: Gold in point; Shawn Devcic: Silver in kata; Far-ren Devcic: Silver in kata; MJ Wraight: Gold in point; Mary Bell and Ashley Bell: Placed in point and kata for a fourth place medal; Amber Pipe: Gold in point.

Chamber stands by Enbridge positionTHE TERRACE and District Chamber of Commerce said it’s standing by its position to support the Northern Gateway Project despite criticism that too few of its members filled out the survey.
The Chamber had canvassed its 290 mem-bers with a series of questions related to whether they agree with the Gateway project that would pump Alber-ta crude to a terminal in Kitimat for marine ex-port by tanker.
Despite the fact that only one in seven – or approximately 40 mem-bers – filled out the sur-vey, the chamber board still released the results and declared its support for the project.
Several people did a statistical analysis of the survey method to see if it could accurate-ly conclude that more than 50 per cent of the overall chamber mem-bership is actually in support of the Enbridge project.
Councillor James Cordeiro said that ac-cording to a statistic equation he learned at university the sample size of 40 out of 390 would mean a 14 per cent margin of error. In other words that if the survey was repeated any number of times support could be any-where from 36 to 64 per cent support.
“You can’t say they are or are not against it based on those num-bers,” said Cordeiro.
But according to chamber director Carol Fielding, the decision was made to share the numbers that they did have not as an act of sci-ence but rather to com-municate the results they did get.
“The committee got together and were dis-appointed because we didn’t get the return we had hoped for and pro-moted to get. They felt there was good infor-mation in what we did get and we wanted to figure out how to share that information,” she said.
“We have a couple of statistically think-ing minds on the board and they took the num-bers and decided that was what the message would be.”
Others wondered why the Chamber hadn’t followed through on a previous decision to not release the num-
bers if less than fifty percent of members filled out the survey.
“We did what we said we were going to do,” Fielding explains. “We said we would do a survey and we did. The only thing that shifted
was when we didn’t get 50 per cent responding, we then felt there was information we wanted to share.... It was quite innocently done, actu-ally.”
“Some people might have been worried that
the information would leak out,” she said of the majority of vast major-ity of businesses who stayed silent.
This story generated a lot of online discus-sion. Bruce Bidgood weighed in with this
comment through Face-book:
“A statement of sta-tistical support can-not be concluded from these data particularly in light of the psycho-metric bias in the con-struction of the survey
wherein every single question presumed con-struction of the pipe-line. All questions were founded on a WHEN basis...not a question queried about whether the pipeline SHOULD be constructed. Finally,
the study itself was UN-ETHICAL in request-ing disclosure of iden-tity...”
Fielding said that the names of business-es were not looked at by the board when the count was conducted.

“It seems expensive to us, because we’ve seen it go up so much in the past three to four years,” said Evans. “But anybody else coming from out of town, the larger centres, they see a house for $300,000 and they go ‘well, that’s a nice house for $300,000’.”
But what you can get in Terrace for $300,000 now is different than what you would have seen last year.
“Every day that goes on, you’re getting less home for more money,” said Evans.
“There are homes available,” he said. “There’s a variety out there, you’re not getting the same bang for your buck that you were a year ago. It’s just like rentals, there are rentals out there, just not rentals for $550 - $600 a month.”
As of March 31, there were 121 properties of all types available for
sale in the Terrace area over the MLS system, down from 184 on March 31, 2013.
Meanwhile in Kitimat, 23 single family homes have been sold over the � rst quarter of 2014, with an av-erage selling price of $321,786, the highest in the northwest region. In March 2013, the average selling price was $189,687 and 35 homes had been sold.
And more single family homes were sold in Prince Rupert than any other community in Northern B.C. during the � rst three months of 2014, aside from Prince George and Fort St. John, with 56 homes sold in the city with an average selling price of $190,461. At this time last year, 48 detached units had sold in Prince Ru-pert, with an average selling price of about the same, $185,918.

“Every river crossing is unique and will be met with
proven world-class engineering solutions.”
– Ray Doering, P. Eng. Lead Engineer, Northern Gateway Director of Project Services, Northern Gateway
Northern Gateway understands and respects British Columbia’s unique environment. That is why we have detailed engineering and environmental plans for each unique river crossing.
GUIDANCE FROM LEADING EXPERTS
Many specialists have lent their expertise to Northern Gateway, including Ray Doering who has over 25 years of experience and an extensive knowledge of engineering solutions in challenging environments. “The Northern Gateway pipeline traverses a wide variety of environments between Alberta and the coast of British Columbia. This terrain includes many river crossings which have high values in terms of fi sh habitats and ecosystems.” Northern Gateway’s crossings will be designed and built to the best standards in the world today.
In order to develop the most sensitive approach toward the planning and construction of Northern Gateway, our team has and will continue to work closely with regulatory agencies, First Nations, environmental specialists, and local residents with expert knowledge of the areas.
INDIVIDUAL PLANS FOR EACH CROSSING
After careful study of each river and stream on the Project’s route, Northern Gateway has developed individual plans for each crossing. “The type and design basis for the river crossings incorporate the latest technology and methodology available anywhere and are selected based on habitat, geology and other environmental considerations. These include horizontal directional drilling, direct pipe bores, open cut and micro tunneling in addition to isolated and other trenched crossing methods. Burial depth and pipe thickness will be engineered to ensure that the pipeline will withstand the most severe geologic and hydrologic events that might occur.” Northern Gateway is committed to doing everything possible in order to build a safer, better project.
Ray Doering is one of the lead engineers who
has been working on Northern Gateway for
nearly a decade. He specializes in
construction and operations engineering for the pipeline.

THE VOLUNTEERS of the Mills Memorial Hospital Ladies Auxiliary sort the items donated to their thrift store and gift stores. Here are some of them: thrift store coordinator Bonnie Lefebvre, Erna M., Lorna Sperman, Sharon Mutschke, Denise Desjardins, Vivian Cameron and president Marg Petrick.
Volunteers take pride in helping othersIT’S VOLUNTEER week and for those with some time to spare who are looking to help out, the Mills Memo-rial Hospital Auxiliary, is a friendly place to have fun and meet new people while helping others.
The ladies who vol-unteer with the auxil-iary operate the thrift shop on Lazelle Ave. and the gift shop at the hospital just inside the entrance.
There’s a variety of reasons for why they volunteer.
From having a heart attack and being alive because of the equip-ment at the hospital that the auxiliary helps to buy, to coming in for a visit and being asked to volunteer, to the enjoy-ment of it and having a day out to meet others their own age or even because “we seniors got nothing else to do,” they’re all glad to be there.
A couple of the la-dies said from working in retail, they became accustomed to being with people and enjoy it. And you get to know everyone too.
They work the cash register, fold and or-ganize the clothes and other donations and raise money to help buy equipment needed at the hospital, Terraceview Lodge and McConnell Place.
Without all the do-nations and commu-nity help, the auxiliary wouldn’t be able to do all that, the ladies say.
Garage sales are a
big provider of their items as they often get the “leftovers” and are glad for them.
Items that they can’t use, such as things that are dirty or stuff they don’t have room for, is picked up by Bandstra for free and delivered to Prince George to be recycled.
Nothing goes to the dump.
Kitchen items are welcome, knick knacks and clothes and others but large items are often too big.
Televisions or other electronics aren’t ac-cepted and neither is furniture as there’s no space to store it.
Any metal they re-ceive goes to the Bold Salvage yard.
The annual craft and bake sale around Christ-mas is a big fundraiser and on Saturday Nov. 23 last year, the ladies saw their most profitable day ever with $1,033.70 coming in, the first time they’ve made more than $1,000.
The craft sale aver-ages about $3,000.
The stores can take in an average of about $400 a day but it ranges from $200 to $800.
Overall last year, they raised an amazing $106,306 that went to hospital equipment and bursaries.
This year, they’ve committed to raising $80,000 and some of that will be in the form of eight bursaries for $1,000 each for stu-dents born and raised here and pursuing a health care field in post-
secondary education. At present, there’s
55 volunteers and more are needed.
And they’re look-ing for younger people, who can volunteer even for just an hour or two a day.
Come and see what volunteers do and how you like it, they say, and if you like it, it’s only $7 a year, which goes to the upkeep of the thrift
store.And you’ll be join-
ing a long line of vol-unteers as the auxiliary has been around since 1948.
The store has been referred to as “the Ter-race Boutique” or as one lady put it, her granddaughter calls it “grandma’s store.”
Anyone interested in volunteering can come into the gift store or
thrift store and pick up an application form.
The hospital and other facilities appreci-ate the auxiliary and all its efforts.
“Mills Memorial Hospital and Terracev-iew Lodge feel for-tunate to have a very good relationship with the Hospital Auxilia-ry,” says Chris Simms, health services adminis-trator Terrace, Stewart,
Atlin.“The Hospital Aux-
iliary works tirelessly in the community (ie, the Thrift Store) and within Mills Memorial Hospital (ie, the Hos-pital Gift Shop) and the efforts of their work result in very generous gifts back to the Hos-pital and Terraceview Lodge in the form of, for example, equipment used in patient care.
“Last year alone, Mills Memorial and Terracev-iew received close to $100,000 in equipment purchases.
“On behalf of North-ern Health staff, I would like to thank the Hospi-tal Auxiliary for their countless volunteer hours that indirectly support patient care. They are a tremendous asset to our commu-nity.”
Music fest scholarship decisions challengingAS THE Pacific Northwest Music Festival begins to wind down, its two final nights: Scholarship Night and Gala Night cap it off with awards for the top performers.
And it’s a big effort to decide who will be named the Most Outstanding Junior, Inter-mediate and Senior Performers
The junior award goes to ages 12 and un-der, intermediate to ages 13 to 15 and senior to ages 16 and older.
Scholarship competition coordinator El-eanor Bond, who’s also on the music festival committee, meets with adjudicators as their disciplines end.
The festival committee puts together a list of participants with the highest marks.
The list is cross referenced with the num-ber of classes participants entered and the adjudicator makes her/his recommendations for junior, intermediate and senior catego-ries, explains Bond, who has been scholar-ship competition coordinator for two years now, having taken over for Jessica Peters.
“It’s going pretty well,” says Bond. “The biggest thing is keeping track of my
own students and things I’ve got to get done.“It’s quite different,” she says about the
scholarship night.
“They’re not competing against other, they’re competing against other winners so it’s quite a challenge too for the judges to decide.”
When the individual marks, number of classes and adjudicator’s choice are put together, a top student is chosen for each award.
If it’s a tie, and students also receive points, the adjudicators’ discretion comes in and they might say that even though students have the same mark, one might be a better choice for most outstanding, said Bond.
Scholarship money is expected to go to-
ward the student’s music education. Bond doesn’t remember a student win-
ning junior, intermediate and senior awards in subsequent years but a few students have won the same award more than once.
In the last five years, Sandra Yoo won the junior and then intermediate awards in 2009 and 2010, respectively.
And Andrea Pedro has won the senior awards in 2009, 2011 and 2013.
Scholarship night is April 11 at the REM Lee Theatre.

SERAFINA BUDZYK gets some help from principal Maxine Champion to start teacher Eric Gearey’s head shaving April 4.
Head shave for HaileyECOLE MOUNTAIN-VIEW students took a shaver to teacher Eric Gearey’s curly hair to mark the end of a fun-draiser for Hailey Pettit, 6, who’s battling leuke-mia at BC Children’s Hospital.
Students held a dance before spring break and then got pledges to see who could raise the most money by April 3, and the student who raised the most got the honour of shaving Gearey’s hair.
The total amount the school raised was $6,626.52 and Grade 1 student Serafina Budzyk raised $1,066, the most of any student.
When Budzyk and a few other students were
done, Gearey had sev-eral shaved trails on his head and some hair re-maining on top. He said he was going to shave it all off.
Before the shaving began, Hailey’s dad Ted Pettit spoke with the girls who organized the event, Hannah Fran-coeur, Emma Keswick and Hannah Link, ask-
ing why they decided to help his daughter, who they didn’t even know.
They said they heard about Hailey and thought it was sad she was sick and wanted to help. “You know how important this is?” he asked. “This is some-thing that will help shape the people you’re going to become.”

I invented the Catting Rod. Instead of trying to catch fish, like a fish-ing rod, you try to catch cats. You can pay big dollars in Big Dollar
stores, or unload your cash at unique boutiques, Maker shows, and Ebay Etsy sites, or you can handcraft it yourself, and I will give you the secret recipe now.
You take a wire coat hanger you really hate for tangling itself up one too many times. Bend it till you feel avenged, then tie a ribbon and some feathers and a tinkling bell to the end opposite the hanger hook. Sit on the couch and watch cable TV (with the New Yorker for the commercials) and swing it back and forth. Bonk your cat(s) on the nose with it. Swing it high like a delicious birdie-num-num or scuttle it along the floor like a sneaky snacky rodent.
Whoever invented the cool side of the pillow is a genius. That was me! You’re welcome. How it works is, if your head is feeling all hot and itchy, you simply flip the pillow over and voi-la – cool comfort. Now you can sleep. But, you say, now this side of the pil-low is getting too warm and making me all restless and bothered: I say, just flip it again! There is a catch: you must wait for the other side to cool. How long? I’m sorry, that is proprietary pat-ent pending information.
Another wonderful invention of mine is Terrace Buy and Sell on face-book. I created in it homage to the Bulkley Browser where there is stuff for sale, but also messages and pictures of found dogs and heartfelt thanks. Here’s one: “THANK YOU to the young couple that stopped and helped
me 1/2 hour from Terrace coming from Prince Rupert as my wiper broke off and helped me put my tiny wiper in the driver side.”
For sale are tutus and tires and even cars, but I especially like exercise equipment “like new” – that means “hardly ever used,” I guess. There’s a boat – “want it gone,” I get that. There’s an oak crib – “no teeth marks,” I wouldn’t have thought to ask, but good to know. There’s also “professional grade cast iron dumbbell, nearly 1,200 lbs of weights, bars and bench. Will not deliver.” Well, I guess not, that stuff is way too heavy to lift!
You may also like an invention I call “Way-early Weiner-roast,” which hap-pens just this time of year. It requires a sweet-spot combination of local weath-
er and personal temperament. Let’s say it’s early spring, sun shining warmly at midday, and you have last fall’s fruit-tree prunings to get rid of. The smallest twigs and sticks are “seasoned wood,” for sure! Grab those wieners and you now have a cooking fire! In city lim-its! Unlike good old charcoal, which will provide you and your lunch-time friends with perfect juicy al dente hot dog fixins, the resulting product will be burnt black on the outside and cold and raw on the inside. This is why I in-vented ketchup, people.
Here’s a few bad inventions of mine, and I apologize. “Will I ask myself a question which I will then answer im-mediately using the word ‘absolutely’? Absolutely.” Unfortunately for all of us, soon after I invented this phrase, it spread far and wide.
Here’s a coach from Alabama: “Do we have to play better against LSU? Absolutely.’’ Here’s an Australian mu-sician: “Is it relevant lyrically to what’s happening in my life right now? Abso-lutely.” Here’s a motivational speaker talking about overcoming obstacles: “Did he lament the loss of his dream? Absolutely.” I am so sorry.
I invented “the safest way to trans-port oil.” Not the actual method, mind you, just the phrase, in quotation marks, that you can search on Google. It went viral, as you can see, if you want to cre-ate an e-mail news alert with it. Your in-box will be flooded with a deluge of news bits spouting this wisdom. Funny thing is, people who use this phrase do not feel the need to provide proof, they just proclaim it to be so.
Oh, and “expected to create 100,000 jobs by 2030,” I invented that, too.

It’s with heavy hearts that the family announc-es the passing of Shawn Andrew New (Sock-eye).
Shawn was born Sept. 13, 1964 in Ter-race BC. His life was always lived to the very fullest. Shawn could put a smile on anyone’s face and leave the taste of laughter on your lips.
On Feb. 13, 2014 Shawn peacefully passed away at the Prince George Hospital. God had decided on that day to take one of his angels home.
Shawn’s last wish was to be married to his lifelong true love Jackie and to be surrounded by his children and mother.
His last wishes were granted and witnessed by fam-ily, nurses, doctors, and aboriginal liaison. He leaves behind to cherish his memory his newlywed wife (Jackie New), mother (Ellen New), son (Terence Reid), daughter (Vanessa Reid), brother (Noel New), Neph-ews (Tommy Munson), (Tyler New) and many more nephews, nieces, aunts, uncles and cousins. Shawn returns to his loving sister Joanne New. His love and kindness will never be forgotten by those lucky enough to have known him. Shawn will be greatly missed, by his loving mother (Ellen New).

OFFICIAL COMMUNITY PLAN AMENDMENT
TAKE NOTICE THAT application has been made to amend Schedule “A” Part C: Com-munity Goals, Objectives and Policies, Part D: Land Use Designations and Part E: Development Permit Areas of the City of Terrace Official Community Plan Bylaw No. 1983-2011.
THE SUBJECT LAND:The application affects the land, within the City of Terrace, shown hatched on the ac-companying map and described as:Lot 1, Block F, District Lot 1725, Range 5, Coast District, Plan EPP19161[3755 Industrial Way]
THE INTENT:1.0 To amend Schedule “A” of the Official Community Plan Bylaw No. 1983-2011
part C: Community Goals, Objectives and Policies by replacing, under the section entitled “Goal: Diversified and Coordinated Economy”, subsection “Objective #10 Airport Lands”, the fourth bullet point under “Supporting Policy”, with the following: Direct and encourage suitable large scale development, appropriate commercial and industrial uses, and temporary industrial work camp accommo-dations, to the Airport Lands.
2.0 To amend Schedule “A” of the Official Community Plan bylaw No. 1983-2011 Part D: Land Use Designations by replacing the paragraph under the section entitled “Industrial” with the following: The industrial designation identified lands suitable for a variety of light manufacturing and commercial warehouse uses as well as intensive large scale industrial processing or manufacturing ac-tivity. The existing lands along the Highway 16 and CN Rail corridor through the City will accommodate most light to medium industrial activities such as industrial supply and contractor or transportation related uses. Some of these lands are located in proximity to commercial and residential land uses and are intended to transition from historical resource based heavy industrial uses. Heavy industrial activities related to forestry, mining and value - added manufac-turing, along with other industrial development and temporary worker accom-modation requiring large land parcels will be encouraged to access the Skeena Industrial Development Park lands at the airport. These industrial lands offer large land parcels and access to multi-modal transportation facilities and offer a unique opportunity to promote a range of heavy manufacturing uses and support bur-geoning green industry such as biomass energy production. The lands at the Skeena Industrial Development Park are identified as an appropriate location for temporary worker accommodation (up to 25 years), established particularly during anticipated periods of high numbers of temporary workers as a result of regional resource based and major industrial development.
3.0 Amend Schedule A of the Official Community Plan Bylaw No. 1983-2011 Part E: Development Permit Areas by replacing the first paragraph under the section entitled “Development Permit Area No.6 - Industrial” with the following: Devel-opment Permit Area No. 6 is designated under Section 919.1 (1)(f) of the Local Government Act for the establishment of objectives for the form and character of industrial and multi-family residential development including temporary worker accommodation.
BYLAW INSPECTION:THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT BYLAW AND RELEVANT BACKGROUND DOCUMENTS MAY BE INSPECTED in the reception area at the City of Terrace Public Works Building at 5003 Graham Avenue, Terrace, B.C., between the hours of 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. each day from Wednesday, April 2, 2014 to Monday, April 14, 2014 excluding Saturdays, Sundays and Statutory Holidays.
