Housing crunch to growas population expandsSOARING HOUSING costs, a spiking population with a grow-ing number of seniors, older homes in need of repair—these are all challenges highlighted in a recent housing assessment conducted by Vancouver-based Thomson Consulting for the city.
Based on the possibility of major economic development within the region, the 64-page report suggests the population could grow between 30 to 50 per cent by 2021.
It also says the lack of low in-come housing will emerge as the most pressing concern combined with the threat that average earn-ers might not be able to keep up with rising housing costs.
“It’s really helpful to have some of the future projections,” said city councillor Stacey Tyers of the housing needs assessment.
“I think he [Matt Thomson] did a really good job at looking at possible growth projections in-stead of looking at the older data. Does it mean 50 per cent growth? No. But we need to brace for the worst case scenario.”
Drafted over February and March, the assessment drew on data from 2011 National Hous-ing Survey and Census and in-cluded updated numbers.
It states that if the population continues to grow at the status quo rate based on 2006-2011 numbers that the population will increase by 2.6 percent by 2021, but that “it’s unlikely that the status quo scenario represents a realistic view of growth in the Greater Terrace Area.”
Tyers thinks private home construction will ease the transi-tion into a more densely popu-
lated Terrace for middle to high income earners, however that the assessment affirms the fact that the poor and disabled will feel the sting of high prices hardest.
“I think we are already seeing an upswing in the market hous-ing that in developmental permits and projects planned and stuff, which is great, and does help al-leviate some stuff but there is al-ways going to be the need for the affordable housing,” said Tyers.
What she finds really striking is that if the population grows by 50 per cent, that based on projec-tions of current available num-bers 1,182 housing units includ-ing apartments and homes would be in unsuitable, unaffordable and/or inadequate for living in by 2021.
City set to closeon $1M land dealBy JOSH MASSEY
THE CITY is on the verge of an-other major real estate deal to sell off land it owns.
This time it’s a $1.025 million sale of 2.03 hectares on the north-west corner of Keith and Kenney on the southside to Onstein Bros. Holdings, the company which owns the city’s Chrysler and Toyota dealerships, a car rental agency and an RV sales business – all located on Hwy16 West.
Rob Onstein said last week that the company needs more room and could eventually move its Toyota dealership to the new location. “We have been actively looking for property for some expansion,” said Onstein. “We’re just running out of space.”
YaoRun, a forestry company specializing in export, is now occupying the location under a lease arrangement with the city
struck just over a year ago. Onstein said coming to an ar-
rangement with YaoRun is on the ‘to do’ list as the sales deal with the city moves to a finish.
“We’re committed, as is the city, to work with all stakehold-ers to make sure the transition is smooth and works for everyone.”
It is uncertain at this point if the lease agreement YaoRun has with the city will be taken on by Onstein Holdings.
YaoRun currently leases three parcels from the city totalling 20 acres along the 5000 Block of Keith and the amount of land the Onstein company is buying is one quarter of that at five acres (2.03 hecatres), which would leave YaoRun room to continue its operations.
The parcel is zoned for light industrial use and a zoning amendment to commercial use would have to be done if a Toyota
dealership were to operate there.“If we were to build a Toy-
ota dealership on that piece of property it’s going to change the nature of that area from an in-dustrial nature to a commercial nature,” said Onstein, adding that he foresees an evolution of that section of Keith.
“It’s close to downtown and we would hope to be the first of many commercial type [op-erations] and that makes it start looking better than it has been instead of a sad memory of what this town used to be.”
That’s in reference to the property once being the log stor-age yard for a large sawmill just across the road from Kenney and Keith. The Skeena Cellu-lose mill, finished in 1988, was the city’s major employer until it went into bankruptcy in the early part of the last decade.

Train centenary bash planned
ROYAL BC MUSEUM ARCHIVES PHOTO
PEOPLE ON board a train passing through the area in 1914 admire the view. The centenary of rail traffic through Terrace is going to be celebrated on April 13 at the George Little House.
THE SECOND of three centenary recognition events takes place here April 13 with a com-munity party noting the 100th anniversary of train traffic through Terrace.
Organized by the city’s 100th anniversary celebration committee, the event takes place in front of the George Lit-tle House at the foot of Kalum St., right beside the former Terrace Co-op lands.
The actual first date a train belonging to the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway passed through Terrace from the east to Prince Rupert is April 9, 1914.
There’s going to be music, food from the Salvation Army’s mo-bile kitchen and a large 100th anniversary cake.
“We’re going to close off the cul-de-sac right in front of the George Little House and prob-ably the whole street as well,” says Debbie Le-tawksi, the manager of the George Little House and a member of the
city’s 100th anniversary celebration committee.
The major feature of the day for children will be a miniature train belonging to the Prince George Railway and Forestry Museum.
“It’s going to be set up right outside,” said Letawksi.
Tiny Town, the min-
iature collection of rep-lica buildings crafted by Jim Allen represent-ing his hometown of Youghal, Ireland, lo-cated right beside the George Little House will be spruced up for the occasion.
Just last month, the 100th anniversary com-mittee celebrated the
centenary of the George Little House which now contains the Via Rail passenger station, a gift shop and offices.
It’s named after the person who had it built – George Little, the founder of Terrace.
And this August, during Riverboat Days, a third 100th anniver-
sary will be noted – that being the opening of the Kitsumkalum school building.
It has long since been converted to offices for the Coast Mountains School District.

College rejects Enbridge moneyALTHOUGH IT has of� cially turned down a $15,000 student bur-sary donation from Enbridge, Northwest Community College remains committed to having the money go to deserving students, says its board chair.
Speaking last week, Rhoda Witherly said it’s talking with Enbridge to establish a method whereby qualifying students can still apply for six $2,500 bursaries without being of� cially involved.
Her comments fol-low a March 21 college board meeting in which it decided to return the money to Enbridge which wants to build the Northern Gateway pipeline to carry crude oil from Alberta to a marine terminal at Kiti-mat.
The project, � nal approval of which is expected by the federal government in June, has been heavily criticized for a number of reasons, including the poten-tial for environmental harm should there be a leak from the pipeline or from tankers which will carry the crude oil overseas.
The bursaries were � rst announced by the college March 3 and 71 student applications were received leading up the March 21 deci-sion.
Witherly said it’s important to remember that the bursaries were meant for students and not to support the col-
lege itself.“We are committed
to providing educa-tional programs and to assisting our students,” she said.
A college commit-tee had been looking at the 71 applications but no decisions had been made as to who would receive the six bursaries prior to the board re-versing its own policy, Witherly said.
The Enbridge dona-tion was brought up by a board member at the March 21 meeting in a response to a letter sent to the board.
“After extensive discussion, pretty emo-tional discussion, the board narrowly passed the [rejection] motion,” said Witherly.
“We had some con-cerns expressed to us from some of the staff, that we should not be accepting [Enbridge] money because they don’t like Northern Gateway. It’s quite ob-vious that’s what’s hap-pened.”
Witherly said the college does have a donations acceptance policy which does state that the college is apo-
litical and that accept-ing corporate money is not an indication of an endorsement of any speci� c project.
“But there may have been a bit of a lack of understanding [by the board] as to how the policy worked,” she said.
That’s why, she said, the board will strike a policy review commit-tee to look at how it handles corporate dona-tions.
Witherly did add that college of� cials, namely vice president Dave O’Leary and in-
terim president Denis Caron, followed the existing policy to the letter in accepting En-bridge’s $15,000 in the � rst place.
When asked if the college might now be regarded as taking a po-litical position by turn-ing down the Enbridge money, Witherly said she hoped that would not be the case.
“This is a very, very dif� cult issue,” said Witherly in noting that while Northern Gate-way is top of mind in the region, it may not be the only project brought
up for discussion.She also said it’s im-
portant for the college to be clear about its do-nations policy because provincial budget cuts have caused it to look for corporate money.
“Without some cer-tainty on our part, that certainly won’t hap-pen,” Witherly said of the need by the college to � nd private � nancial support.
Ivan Giesbrecht from Enbridge North-ern Gateway said the company looks forward to providing the bursary money.
“Northern Gate-way’s commitment to northern students is still � rmly intact and that won’t change,” he said.
“I think it’s worth noting that over 70 students applied for those bursaries when they were initially an-nounced, knowing that it was an initiative funded by Northern Gateway. We are strong supporters of education and skills training in the north and we will continue to honour our commitments to stu-dents across the region,” said Giesbrecht.
EVEN BEFORE the Northwest Com-munity College board met March 21 and turned down the Enbridge bursary dona-tion, the college came under criticism for the wording contained in its March 3 press release announcing the money.
The wording, a description of the Northern Gateway project as provided by Enbridge, was removed after college vice president Dave O’Leary said he received emails and several phone calls, the latter from college employees.
Prior to the board meeting, O’Leary said the original wording should not have been taken as an endorsement of Enbridge or Northern Gateway.
He said the college does not take po-sitions endorsing projects or stances by companies or others providing it with money or services in kind.
He said the college will only accept money or services if it comes with no strings attached.
“We’ve had occasions where someone
has wanted to [provide money] and has been pretty speci� c and we’ve said ‘no,’” O’Leary continued.
He noted that Enbridge was a sponsor of a recent regional skills competition held at the college.
After receiving the emails and phone calls, O’Leary said he contacted Enbridge and was asked to remove the project de-scription.
“They didn’t want to be seen to have an effect on the intent of their donation,” he said.
The six bursaries were intended for trades, technology, science or environ-mental studies students.
The Northwest Community College Students Union, which met with O’Leary after the wording had been removed and before the college board met, did question the release, saying Enbridge provided the money after a deadline for bursary provi-sions had passed.
“We are not opposed to bursaries but
we are opposed to NWCC publicizing comments that are not balanced on behalf of any corporation or group, and speci� -cally projects or companies that are this controversial,” said union organizer Mi-kael Jensen.
“The college acted far too favourably by giving them special coverage of their bursary, upon missing the deadline.”
How the college acknowledges dona-tions and services depends very much on the provider, added O’Leary.
Two years ago the college received $300,000 to be used over three years from the Margaret A. Cargill Foundation.
It’s an American foundation and the grant to the college is for bursaries for students at its Freda Diesing School of Northwest Coast Art and to help run the school. It’s the � rst time the foundation made a grant outside of the United States.
In that situation, said O’Leary, the Car-gill foundation wanted its grant to be very low key and with practically no fanfare.

Guided by world leading safety and environmental standards, Northern Gate-way’s proposed pipeline will transport oil from Alberta to the British Columbia coast. The project will create more than 3,500 well paying jobs and will provide British Columbians with skills to last a lifetime.
Northern Gateway has been planning this project for more than a decade, and has worked in collaboration with leading environmental and engineering experts, First Nations communities and members of the public to develop a safer, better pipe-line.
The project recently received a positive recommendation from the National En-ergy Board’s Joint Review Panel following the most comprehensive and science-based pipeline regulatory review in Canadian history.

AT LAST month’s community housing forum, hosted by Skeena NDP MLA Robin Austin, audience members were asked to write down their ideas on how to fix the hous-ing issue. Here are some of those ideas.
• Higher density zoning for multi-units and existing multi-units
• Look to successful big cities (Surrey) for ideas regarding long term planning (city centres etc.)
• Encourage more smaller homes, not big homes with suites
• Mixed density/income projects• Be accountable for damage/
lost rent cause by those being sup-ported, you’ll get more landlords wanting to rent to those on assis-tance looking at housing options
• Lower construction costs by encouraging smaller houses
• Make a rental cap for low-in-come families.
• Build apartments that have three and four bedrooms in each unit
• Look to small self-contained housing (tiny homes/microhomes)
• Creation of community funds account to help support programs and services to help families remain housed and together as a family unit (industry and business to commit to the fund through grants or taxes)
• Victim Surcharge• Operation funds and social
supports for newcomers and hard to house
• First Nations leaders should be sitting at this table we have too many homeless now and at risk
• Build tiny homes so you can have a garden and a dog too
• Why are there multiple social needs programs in place? All doing the same thing sucking up the funds when it could be pooled together to do the more community work
• Bigger places that are not adult only for families with more than two children and is more affordable
• Evolve in terms of sustainabil-ity and look to alternative energies to reduce ongoing costs
• Prepare for technological ad-vancements
• Provide renovation grants to home owners and non profits to add more housing units.
• Tow a cruise ship (RIVER-BOAT) up the Skeena and dock it here
• Renovate existing empty schools for housing (temporary, students ect.)
• Make crown land accessible for developers and home builders especially the area between Kitimat and Terrace
Full housePost-secondary students latest group to feel strain of low vacancy rates
By ANNA KILLEN
What you said
Rarely a day goes by without a warning from a politician or in-dustry leader about the
need for more skilled workers, more tradespeople, more nurses, more [insert in demand job here] in the northwest.
And while Terrace’s two post-secondary institutions are ready and willing to train people to fill those needs, the new reality is that the very students we want to attract here to study and train – and, fingers crossed, fall in love with the area so they want to stay here and work – might be unable to study in Terrace because it’s becoming so difficult to find a place to live.
University of Northern Brit-ish Columbia (UNBC) chair Phil Burton says it’s already hap-pened at least once.
“Last fall for the first time we had a student admitted to our nursing program who just had too much difficulty finding a place to stay that was within her budget, that she in fact cancelled her registration,” he said. “We’re worried about similar things hap-pening in the future.”
UNBC’s Terrace campus does not offer dorms due to its size. It has three main programs – education, social work, and nursing – and with about 20 stu-dents in each cohort, there are between 100 and 150 students on campus each year.
“And we’re hoping to grow those numbers,” said Burton.
Growing those numbers could prove challenging as he’s already anticipating a larger housing crunch come September. Of the 22 people who have applied for next year’s social work program so far, about half of those are from out of town.
“They’re going to be compet-ing in the same market as these people working in the construc-tion jobs and engineering on the big LNG proposals and the northwest transmission line and so forth, but essentially living on starvation wages and borrowed money rather than a very nice salary,” he said. “So, will they be able to find that basement suite or that shared house where they can pay $500 a month rent? That’ll be the challenge.”
If that challenge isn’t met, Burton is worried Terrace will face a situation like the campus in Fort St. John witnessed when their oil and gas boom hit.
“People in Fort St. John had experienced this issue before, including our students, and the consequences there were in fact a steady decline of both student numbers and the dropping of some programs because there weren’t sufficient students to warrant face-to-face programs.”
In order to get ahead of the crunch and ensure that doesn’t happen, the university is in the process of developing a hous-ing registry, which is common at larger universities but hasn’t until now been necessary here. They’ll also be reaching out to their com-munity members – faculty, past grads, staff – to ask them to look at their housing situation and be in touch if they have a suite or a room to rent.
Because housing students is a community issue, said Burton.
“We as a community have to really take stock of what we want to offer in terms of quality of life and a full breadth of people liv-ing here,” he said.
“If we leave everything up to the individual initiatives and in-come levels the writing’s on the wall that we’re going to see a loss in many dimensions. That’s not just lower income or work-ing poor, that’s also people who could have a lot to offer in the future.”
If Terrace begins losing pro-fessional and university grads – people studying teaching or nursing, for example – to other communities, there’s a risk they won’t come back.
“That’s the danger for the future. If we’re going to have a growing population and a grow-ing industrial base, we’re going
to need those service providers as well,” said Burton.
Up the hill at Northwest Com-munity College (NWCC), offi-cials are also working on student housing solutions.
“Our residences are full, there’s no doubt about that,” said NWCC director of facilities and ancillary services Kerry Clarke, noting that this year the waitlist for housing averaged about 15 students, when in past years it’s been two or three.
Unlike UNBC, NWCC has 84 residences in five buildings on campus. The spacious 40-year-old buildings are gender specific, alcohol-free, and each student has their own room with shared bathrooms.
“The residences are really critical to helping people suc-ceed,” he said. “They need hous-ing and its too expensive down-town now.”
In the fall, the college em-barked on a feasibility study to see about updating the current residences and building new ones to increase capacity.
“One of the issues is that residences are not core funded, they’re not funded by govern-ment, you have to fund them yourselves,” explained Clarke. “So that makes it very challeng-ing when you want to build new residences.”
The study is currently in the concept phase and looking at various funding models. Clarke’s “blue sky” picture, three to four years down the road, would be a mixture of housing on campus – apartment-type living with two or three rooms for a family to stay – that maintains the village environment the residences cur-rently have.
But the issue is financing, he said, giving the example of the Nicola Valley Institute of Tech-nology in Merritt, which built nearly 70 rooms for close to $9 million.
“You can see the numbers don’t make sense. If you’re in Vancouver you can charge $900 a month rent, but you can’t do that here,” he said. “It’s a vex-ing issue for us – how we can in-crease capacity as well as renew the residences.”
But since that plan is still three or four years away, the college is looking to implement solutions to help students in the short term.
This summer, not unlike UNBC, they’ll be looking into establishing a homestay pro-gram, where staff could poten-tially house students in their homes and provide meals or ser-vices for a fee.
“We’re trying to get creative as to how we can solve some of the issues,” said Clarke.

ESTABLISHED APRIL 27, 1988
THE EVER increasing amount of activity in the area, the vast majority of which is tied to the prospect of a regional lique� ed natural gas indus-try, is like an onion. Peel one layer off and another emerges.
Skeena NDP MLA Robin Austin’s March 19 public meeting revealed many layers to that onion.
Called to discuss housing or, rath-er, the growing lack thereof, other questions and issues emerged, all framed around questions of what is exactly going on around here.
The list of questions includes im-pacts on various public sector ser-vices, ranging from whether the hospital will be large enough if the population grows to whether there will be enough police of� cers.
And consider that since Mr. Aus-tin’s meeting, the City of Terrace is to revise its of� cial community plan in light of a proposal for a worker accommodation camp of at least 400 people at its Skeena Industrial De-velopment Park. There’s a possibil-ity such facilities could expand to hold as many as 3,000 people.
Mr. Austin said the March 19 meeting was the � rst of many discus-sions about the future. As the direct elected representative of the area to the provincial legislature, Mr. Aus-tin is on the right track.
There’s nothing like a good old-fashioned town hall meeting to listen to what people have to say. The next one would be all the more effective if it included the city and the region-al district along with Mr. Austin.

EDITORIALA6 www.terracestandard.com OPINION Wednesday, April 2, 2014 Terrace Standard
We all know about vest- w e a r i n g trained dogs
assisting the blind or deaf, or being tethered to autis-tic children to hold the kids from wandering off.
Now war veterans di-agnosed with PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder) are adopting dogs trained to calm or distract them as a way to cope with any anxiet-ies.
Invisible brain injuries can lead to muscle imbal-ances that to a stranger (for instance, a police of� cer) may be misinterpreted as drunkenness. Similarly, people with PTSD and other psychiatric conditions may not appear to have anything external wrong with them. And due to the social stigma of mental illness, they may be reluctant to explain their condition or the dog’s trained tasks even in the vaguest of terms.
Such was the set-up that recently led to a Saskatch-ewan war vet being refused service at a Smitty’s in Prince Albert. Health laws forbid dogs in restaurants. Smitty’s owner said he was not made aware the man was an armed
forces vet, nor that he had been diagnosed with PTSD and needed his dog Rylie to help him handle stressful situations.
A second soldier, Albertan Sgt. Shirley Jew, was turned away by Air Canada when she sought to board with her service dog. The 48-year-old woman got her pug-schnau-zer-terrier Snoopy last spring following her PTSD diagno-sis in 2012.
The airline told Jew PTSD isn’t recognized as a disabili-ty that requires a service dog; her dog would have to travel as a pet — for a $50 fee. (However, Westjet did accept Snoopy as a service dog and
let him ride along beside her at no extra charge.)
Transport Canada’s rules specify on any plane with 30 seats or more a service animal must be accommo-dated without extra charge provided it has the necessary ID. But what is the neces-sary ID? And where do you obtain it? Gaining proper identi� cation for a legitimate service dog can prove tricky. Scammers are charging from $20 to $200 for an of� cial looking form without ever seeing the animal or testing its abilities to assist.
Air Canada later refunded Jew’s ticket and apologized, saying, “Air Canada does have a policy in place to ac-cept service animals of pas-sengers with disabilities. These disabilities are not limited to physical disabili-ties, if they are con� rmed by a doctor’s note.” The note must be renewed annually.
Confrontations such as these two vets faced could be avoided if the government issued to people diagnosed with a permanent brain inju-ry an identi� cation card such as local resident, Yvonne Nielsen, has been advocating for years.
Her card would discreetly
identify the medical diagno-sis explaining why the card holder needed a psychiatric service dog or a companion animal. Onlookers would be denied intimate details of a person’s medical condition explaining the dog’s pres-ence. Nor would bystanders witness a high decibel con-frontation as restaurants and airlines refused to admit a dog. Authorities wouldn’t be left in the awkward position of apologizing or refunding fees.
When Premier Christy Clark held a town hall meet-ing in Terrace July 7, 2011 Nielsen presented the idea to demonstrate she suffers an invisible but profound per-manent brain injury affecting her balance.
Clark said she would look into it. So far the premier has not replied.
A white paper discussion in Terrace last month sought suggestions and ideas for im-proving accessibility for the disabled. It was noted vari-ous B.C. communities are asking for this ID card.
Until government issues the card, scammers can make a mint embroidering unau-thorized vests for fake ser-vice dogs.
Service dogs need to be recognized

Shifting policy requires corporations to step up
Terrace Standard Wednesday, April 2, 2014 VIEWPOINTS www.terracestandard.com A7
G U E S T C O M M E N T
ANDRE CARREL
A zero vacancy housing market, rent increases outpacing the stock market, and the pros-
pect (or promise) of work camps adorning every neighbourhood.
Yes, economic good times are at our doorsteps. After years of stagnation, the community should be celebrating. But there are two sides to every coin and what goes up must come down; there is no end to platitudes of this kind.
People squeezed by the tight-ening housing market have called on government to make available and somehow create more afford-able housing. The government flatly rejects such demands, refer-ring those concerned to explore its basket of subsidies aimed at families with bona fide needs for housing assistance.
The government’s response ignores the obvious question: what good is a subsidy in a zero vacancy housing market? The problem is immediate, but there are no immediate solutions. Even if government were to decide to-
day to augment the inventory of affordable housing units in Ter-race, it would take at least two years for new units to be ready for occupation. The problem we face today should not come as a surprise; its seeds were planted decades ago. The general idea of a corporation is to facilitate peo-ple to pool their money to fund projects beyond the financial ca-pacity of individuals.
Corporations, like people, are members of society and as such they have an obligation to serve both the public and their private interests. The emphasis is on both, not one over the other or one at the expense of the other. Changes to corporate tax poli-cies resulted in corporate contri-butions to the common good, as a share of government revenues, being reduced by one third from what they were half a century ago. Corporate contributions to the common good and to private gain over that period show an em-phatic change.
The resulting revenue shortfall limits governments’ ability to re-
spond to a wide range of public needs, one of them being the need for affordable housing. Short-term measures will moderate the worst effects of the housing crunch, but we must realize that band aid solutions will not reach the roots of the problem.
People and their communities are as integral to the environ-ment as are the salmon spawning creeks we seek to protect with
environmental legislation. The Canadian Environmental Assess-ment Act recognizes as much by taking into account “any change that may be caused to the envi-ronment on health and socio-eco-nomic conditions” with respect to aboriginal peoples.
Under British Columbia’s En-vironmental Assessment Act, a project is reviewed ”if the min-ister is satisfied that the project may have a significant adverse environmental, economic, social, heritage or health effect, and that the designation is in the public interest”.
We need to strengthen these laws. The federal act should ap-ply to all communities and the provincial minister’s discretion should be eliminated. All projects with a potential socio-economic impact on communities should be reviewed.
The principle in question is the balance of corporate respon-sibility. Reducing their compre-hensive contributions to the com-mon good (taxes) has upset that balance. The promise of an eco-
nomic boost resulting from major capital projects tends to blind us to their negative by-products. We review such projects and assess their impact. We impose condi-tions on corporations to mitigate any negative environmental im-pacts. But negative impact is not limited to the habitat of bears and salmon, it can affect a commu-nity’s socio-economic stability - our habitat.
Community stability means a balance in the supply, availabil-ity, and affordability of goods and services in all sectors. From housing to retail, from profes-sional to municipal services, how do we protect and preserve stabil-ity and balance?
As we have eased corpora-tions’ comprehensive respon-sibility to the common good, they must now be compelled to assume selective responsibility where their investments have a direct impact on the socio-eco-nomic stability of communities.

Dear Sir:I have noticed that your
newspaper has had several ar-ticles that seem critical of the Enbridge pipeline or seem to support those who are critical of the pipeline.
I am originally from Ter-race. I lived there since I was two years old and graduated from Caledonia Senior Sec-ondary School.
Presently, I work in north-ern Alberta for a major oil and
gas company. I have a six fig-ure salary that does not begin with the number “1”. In addi-tion to this, my housing is pro-vided for me by my employ-er. This is a taxable benefit so it costs me only $530 a month in extra income tax.
Basically, I have quite a bit of disposable income and vir-tually no bills besides paying for Internet, local phone (my other utilities are also paid by my employer) and maintaining
my vehicles. Having said all that, I would
very much like to return to my native B.C. However, the job market there is dismal. Even if I could find suitable employ-ment, I would most likely take at least a 50 per cent reduction in annual income.
I wonder if people in the Pacific Northwest have really considered the benefits of hav-ing a pipeline going to the west coast of Canada. What indus-
try, other than oil gas, can offer the kinds of six figure salaries to their employees that they do?
The employees in question are not professional engineers with master’s degrees. They are tradesmen stuck as electri-cians, millwrights and Power Engineers, careers that any motivated person can achieve. Do people in northern B.C. re-ally want to be poor?

Don’t knock pipeline benefit
Dear Sir:I have a rebuttal to Janet Holder’s opinion piece
“Training people is key to north’s future” (The Ter-race Standard, March 12, 2014).
Like Janet I have also spoken with many Brit-ish Columbians about the Northern Gateway in my travels around B.C. in the last couple of years. I have had many conversations about the future and I have found that people are concerned about more than just jobs. The people I have spoken with are concerned about their (grand)children’s future, this province’s future and the future of this coast and our planet. They are seeing through the short term benefits of booming (inevitably followed by a bust!) economies designed to build the infrastruc-ture necessary to pump our raw resources, effec-tively our jobs, out of this country. They are aware of how an economy should function, and it isn’t as a resource depot.
There is a concept that is well understood in the forestry industry of how the export of raw logs neg-atively effects the economy. This is also the case with oil. By building the Northern Gateway, we would be sending raw bitumen as well as the jobs that would be created by turning this resource into a usable product straight through this province in a pipeline, loading them into tankers and shipping them over to Asia. This isn’t what the people I have been talking to want.
Janet is correct in saying that people want the same quality of life as their parents, and people are very aware that this quality of life is more dependent on beautiful oil free coastlines and healthy ecosys-tems than it is on short term construction jobs.
It’s about more than jobs, Janet

According to the chief engineer at the plant I work for, what will most likely hap-pen if the pipeline does not go through is that the gas will be piped or trucked to the United States.
Canadian industry will not be selling the oil and gas directly, so they will not have as much negotiating power as if they were sell-ing it from the west coast of B.C.
Also, Americans and not Canadians will have jobs handling and shipping the product south of the border.
Those who are opposed to the pipeline are in effect holding the entire country hos-tage as its absence will mean a weaker Ca-nadian economy, fewer jobs for Canadians and lower paying jobs for those who can � nd them.
I believe some discussion of this aspect of oil and gas industry needs to be discussed.

Pipeline bene� ts
Besides it being a poor de-cision for British Columbians, I believe this province has a responsibility to the planet to stop this pipeline.
I believe we are existing at a crucial point in is planets history. We are teetering at a tipping point and we have to make a choice. One direction has us continuing along this path. Pushing forward despite an increasingly unavoidable warning of the damage this path is causing. Taking the bait from greed fueled corpora-tions promising us economic prosperity. Although it would
be easy to continue along this path, and the pressures from our national government and resource sectors to do so are high, there is also a different path.
If we chose this path it would mean big changes and a lot of hard work, but as Ja-net has stated, the people of this province aren’t afraid of hard work. I believe that if we work together on this new path we can ensure a bright future with a functioning democracy, beautiful eco-systems, healthy people living in thriving com-munities and long term sus-
tainable jobs. It won’t be easy to merge off of our current path but I think that is a neces-sary move. We owe it to future generations.
I believe that I share a hope with a lot of people that we, as a province and a nation, will choose the latter path. We have a lot of work to do and if we are going to choose a responsi-ble future, one of the � rst steps is that we have to stop corpo-rations from bullying us into what is best for their bottom lines with sleek ad campaigns and empty promises.
As a province, we have a
big decision to make. We have a lot of power in our hands. Without the consent of our province’s politicians, who supposedly represent Brit-ish Columbians, this pipeline can’t go through. This is a lot of carbon conscience on our shoulders.
With great organizations like Dogwood Initiative and democratic tools like the citi-zen’s initiative we have the power, despite what our politi-cians may do, to change B.C.’s path.

About lettersShe says the only disability in life is a bad attitudeDear Sir,
The world is � lled with opportunities, possibili-ties, and surprises we never imagined.
Each day gives us new chances. For some of us, life seems to be hard and unfair.
I’m only � fteen but I know the struggle of having a learning disability.
It’s not always easy but I choose not to let it stop me from living my dreams or ful� lling my goals.
A disability just means you are going to have to work a little harder. It should never stop anyone from working toward their goals.
The only disability in life is a bad attitude. I don’t let my disability stand in my way. This just makes me work harder. You can achieve anything you set your mind to. I have been judged, misunderstood and under
estimated, but this just makes me more determined to succeed.
You can achieve just as much or more than a per-son without a disabililty.
If people tell you that you aren’t capable of do-
ing something, prove them wrong. You have so much to give to your family and
community. Show them that you are unstoppable. The words “I can’t” shouldn’t exist because
there isn’t anything anyone can’t do. All you need for success are a little help, some
motivation, encouragement and dertermination. You are beautiful and amazing. Don’t let the
doubtful people in� uence the path you choose. You just need to believe in yourself. You can be
anything you want to be. It may take you a little longer to arrive but you
will get there. Shoot for the stars, take a chance and believe in
yourself. If you never take a shot at your dream then you
will never win. Let your light shine! Who knows, maybe today is your time to shine.

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]

Chamber board supports Enbridge projectTHE BOARD of the Terrace and District Chamber of Commerce says it now of-ficially supports Enbridge’s planned Northern Gateway pipeline project.
That’s after a small ma-jority of chamber members who filled out an online sur-vey about the pipeline proj-ect – 51.3 per cent – say they are in support.
“The board is the voice of the members and we rep-resent the members,” said chamber president Janice Shaben.
Of those who took part in
the survey, 62.1 per cent feel the pipeline will benefit their business.
The results come from a March 5 to March 19 on-line survey in which cham-ber members were asked 11 questions surrounding the Northern Gateway project.
Of the nearly 290 mem-bers of the chamber, approx-imately one in seven – or approximately 40 members – filled out the survey, a chamber press release indi-cated March 27.
The original plan was to only release the survey
results if more than 50 per cent of chamber members responded.
But that changed after the chamber board was told the number of members who replied fulfilled a statistical requirement for a represen-tative sample, she said.
“We were told that the statistical sample was good.”
From that, the board has now adopted the position that it supports the Northern Gateway project, she said.
Shaben did add that the Northern Gateway project remains a challenging topic.
“It’s such an emotional issue for so many people,” she said.
Here are those 11 state-ments and the response per-centage.
1. The 180 day Joint Re-view Panel provided an ad-equate review process – 59.4 per cent in agreement.
2. Pipelines are a safer means to transport oil/con-densate product than rail – 83.8 per cent in agreement.
3. The process to date has been adequate in keep-ing First Nations informed – 59.4 per cent in agreement.
4. People in the North-west will benefit from Northern Gateway Pipeline skills training programs – 72.9 per cent in agreement.
5. A pipeline designed with today’s engineering ex-pertise and technology will adequately minimize the risks of pipeline leaks – 67.5 per cent in agreement.
6. Northern Gateway Pipeline creates a risk to ma-rine environment – 67.5 per cent in agreement.
7. My concerns around the Northern Gateway Pipe-line have been answered –
59.4 per cent in agreement.8. Northern Gateway
Pipeline is important to the economic strength of Cana-da – 67.6 per cent in agree-ment.
9. Northern Gateway Pipeline will positively af-fect my business – more than 60 per cent in agreement.
10. Northern Gateway Pipeline will bring econom-ic stimulus and infrastruc-ture dollars to the northwest – 73 per cent.
11. I support the North-ern Gateway Pipeline proj-ect – 51.3 per cent.
TERRACE CITY council heard presentations at its March 24 meeting about natural gas pipeline plan-ning with representatives from one pipeline compa-ny going over its successes followed by a group of angling advocates arguing that one proposed route for another pipeline poses threats to local pristine fishing areas.
Spectra Energy official Graham Genge spoke of his company’s 850-kilometre pipeline plan to pump gas from two fields in the northeast to a proposed liquefied natural gas (LNG) plant to be built by the multi-national BG Group near Prince Rupert.
Spectra has just submitted an application for a preliminary review to the B.C. Environmental As-sessment Office, the first step to what will be a for-mal review of the project in the months ahead.
Genge spoke of Spectra’s contacts with com-munities along the proposed route, including re-building a ball field in remote Takla Lake north of Fort St. James and helping rebuild a Nisga’a smoke house in the Nass Valley last summer.
The company envisions two pipelines, each 48 inches in diameter, along a single right of way which would travel through the Nass Valley before turning south to the Prince Rupert area.
Jim Culp from the BC Steelhead Society fol-lowed Genge, telling council it should be more in-volved in pipeline routing.
He was specifically concerned with another pipeline project, this one being proposed by Pacific Northern Gas (PNG) to twin its existing natural gas
pipeline from the Prince George area through to Kitimat to supply a proposed small LNG plant.
PNG’s project would consist of a pipeline 24 inches in diameter traveling 525 kilometres for the most part in parallel, where feasible, with the com-pany’s existing line. A new route, however, would be needed between Telkwa and the Lakelse Lake area.
Culp argued that the impact on a pristine steel-head fishing spot up the Copper River is too great and that PNG should consider alternate routing instead of going through the Telkwa Pass. He said following the Hwy16 corridor is one common sense answer.
“Slides are not uncommon. We know there have been some pretty serious slides in this area,” said Culp of the Copper River area.
“We would like your assistance and your help to convince PNG to seriously look at Highway 16 as an alternate route for a pipeline and as well the existing routes through the Telkwa Pass.”
Councillors Bruce Bidgood and Lynne Chris-tiansen both said they enjoyed the Copper River area.
“I have spent a fair amount of time fishing up the Copper,” said Bidgood. “I found the remnants of the previous route an abomination to see sections of pipeline exposed or laying around seems to me not defensible.”
Council is inviting PNG to a meeting to discuss pipeline routes.

WHY AND WHEN TO CONSOLIDATE YOUR ASSETS WITH ONE ADVISOR You’ve got one investment account here, your RRSP and TFSA there, and some more assets over at that other place. You’re “diversifying,” right? That tactic could, however, be raising your risk, inviting costly fees and preventing you from creating a sound retirement strategy.It is not uncommon for some investors to think a well-diversified portfolio means spreading your assets out among different financial institutions or advisors. Indeed, media hype may suggest multiple advisors can enhance the security and success of your portfolio.The Risks to Your MoneyAs the saying goes, quantity does not trump quality. Risk can increase if you are overweight or underweight in some investment classes. A well-balanced portfolio provides checks-
and-balances for market ups-and-downs — strategies that can only be implemented with complete knowledge of the extent of your assets.There can also be tax consequences. Say you have a large capital gain with one advisor, and he or she suggests creating capital losses by selling underperforming stocks to help reduce taxes owing at year-end. If you haven’t consolidated your portfolio, though, that advisor may not know you already have major capital losses elsewhere and you could end up with unjustified losses arising from the incomplete overall picture of your investments.Consolidation is even more important as you prepare for retirement. There are key decisions to be made in structuring a retirement strategy, including optimizing your many income sources, such as pensions, government benefits, RRSPs, TFSAs, RRIFs, and any on-going employment income. With a consolidated view of your assets, one advisor can help you decide how and in what order you could be withdrawing from your income sources to help maximize after-tax income.Benefits of Consolidating with One AdvisorThere are very clear benefits to having a single, trusted advisor help manage your assets:
Smarter Asset Allocation: More than picking the “right” stock, identifying and rebalancing your optimal asset allocation over time may determine the strength of your returns. Multiple advisors blindly buying different funds or stocks without a proper overview means you may likely not know your true risk.Lower costs: Consolidating assets with one advisor typically lowers the management and transaction fees you pay since prices can differ among institutions and some fees are paid on a sliding scale tied to the value of your assets.Simpler Reporting and Administration: With one advisor, paper or online statements come from one source, and tax reporting related to investment income and dispositions can be easier to manage.Easier Estate Planning & Settlement: You can avoid the nightmare that so often happens when deceased investors have accounts in multiple locations — some of which may be forgotten. With one advisor, your surviving family members or beneficiaries have one point of contact you trust.
With a consolidated approach, you may feel more confident knowing you and your advisor are “on the same page,” and you there will be fewer statements to manage. Your advisor can help make consolidation easy with helpful advice and simple transfer documents. Speak with your Edward Jones advisor for more information on creating a more focused and cost-effective approach to managing your money.

THE CITY is preparing a bylaw amendment to allow for the housing of as many as 3,000 work-ers at the Skeena Indus-trial Development Park south of town.
It will allow a com-pany called Falcon Camp Services to set up a camp on indus-trial park land it has purchased from the Kitselas Development Corporation. The cor-poration, in turn, pur-chased the land from the city last month.
The bylaw amend-ment, introduced March 24, alters the official community plan and several stipulations re-lating to the original heavy industrial zoning to allow for the work camp.
Falcon Camp Servic-es from Prince George would build a 200-400 person camp for work-ers on the Pacific Trails Pipeline that would carry natural gas to the planned Kitimat LNG (liquefied natural gas) plant at Kitimat.
This first camp will be fully operational by June 30 and Pacific Trails has said it could need space for up to 1,500 to 3,000 workers at peak production and is negotiating the pur-chase of more land from the Kitselas.
Contained within the new bylaw are condi-tions for fees to be paid to the city if there are more than 500 people staying on the site. The fees start at $500 per person for numbers of workers above that 500 mark and the cost rises incrementally to a maximum of $1,000 per sleeping unit.
Any extra money levied through these fees will go toward an affordable housing fund.
Mayor David Per-narowski said that work camps will only be con-tained on the Kitselas-owned land and that council would not allow another work camp out-side of this area.
The land bought by
the Kitselas corporation is across Hwy16 from the main industrial park area.
Councillor Marylin Davies was the only council member to vote against the resolution.
She said rezoning the industrial lands went against the original vi-sion that the city had for the land with long term industrial development in mind.
Councillor Brian Downie had some concerns about the long time frame of the amendment as it will al-low work camps in the industrial park for 20 years.
Councillor Bruce Bidgood said he would only support the amend-ment with the assurance from staff in the form of a covenant that the time limit would be set as well as the relegation of camps to only the in-dustrial park lands.
“I worry about the
precedent-setting nature of this bylaw,” said Bid-good.
Before the changes are adopted, the amend-ments of the OCP and zoning bylaw still need to go to public hearing.
Kitimat LNG does have environmental and regulatory approvals to start construction but an investment decision by its owners has yet to be made although one is expected later this year.
Apache has, how-ever, said it wants to sell some of its owner-ship position because of engineering and design costs which this year could reach $1 billion even without an invest-ment decision being made.
Estimates range to more than $6 billion to build the pipeline and LNG plant with the pipeline coming in at $1.5 billion of that amount.
The Kitimat LNG
plant could export as much as five million tonnes of LNG a year when in full production.

Land deal in the works
City prepares for work camps

THE CITY is selling more land, this time at Keith and Kenney.
An attempt by local investors to keep the mill running also failed and the mill was dismantled be-ginning in late 2006.
The city ended up owning the property, includ-ing the log yard, in a complex set of circumstances arising when the local investors, the Terrace Lum-ber Company, did not stay in business.
Terrace mayor David Pernarowski said this land deal is part of the city’s ongoing push to liquidate its property holdings.
He said Onstein Holdings approached the city with interest in the Keith land.
“Lots of interest for along Keith,” said the may-or. “We are looking at opportunity right now and like everyone else trying to manage those requests.”
Since August the city has made three major land sales. The first was in late August of 4.38 hectares at Skeena Industrial Development Park land to an earthworks company called Global Dewatering at a cost of $250,000. Then last month a blockbuster deal was made that saw 66.7 hectares of airport lands sold to Kitselas First Nation’s Kitselas Devel-opment Corporation for $1,647,700.

BUSINESS REVIEW
NORTHWEST REGIONAL Airport continues to post im-pressive passenger numbers with February’s total being the second highest on record.
The 18,092 figure was eclipsed only by December 2013’s total of 18,182.
Combined with the January total, the figure to date for 2014 is 35,595.
That’s more passenger traffic than generated at the airport for the first four months of 2011, the year passenger traffic at the air-port began to climb and broach 120,000 for the first time for a calendar year.
Airport manager Carman Hendry attributed the healthy passenger numbers to the in-creasing amount of industrial ac-tivity in the area.
“We’re only looking forward,” said Hendry in sketching out a project busy year at the airport.
Rio Tinto Alcan is not only extending its work on rebuilding its Kitimat aluminum smelter but has arranged for a converted Bal-
tic Sea ferry, dubbed a ‘flotel,’ to hold 600 construction workers as it ramps up activity.
And if the Northwest Region-al Airport here is busy, so are ones in Smithers and at Prince Rupert.
“Across the region, for the 2013 calendar year, passenger traffic increased by 17 per cent. Everyone was up double digits, but we were more so,” said Hen-dry.
Northwest Regional Airport’s overall share of northwest pas-senger traffic has also increased.
In 2012 the share was 51 per cent, a figure that climbed to 56 per cent in 2013.
Northwest Regional Air-port’s 2011 passenger total was 120,384, climbing to 139,193 in 2012 and 177,294 in 2013.
The ever increasing number of passengers has put a strain on the airport’s parking capabilities.
“Parking is at a premium right now. If you can get a ride, please do so,” said Hendry.
The airport will be expanding
its long term lot to handle 800 vehicles, an increase from the 340 spots now available.
That’s to be done by clearing land immediately adjacent to the current long term lot, removing the top layer of earth and then laying down crush for a smooth gravelled surface.
“Fortunately we’ve found a nice vein of gravel on our prop-erty which we are arranging to be crushed,” said Hendry.
“Finding that vein will save us approximately $350,000. That’s going to give us good drainage and also give us enough crush to rebuild Bristol Road East,” said Hendry of the road that branches to the left from the intersection of Bristol Road and the access road leading to the airport from the highway.
Also to be to constructed is a fourth aircraft parking space just outside of the main terminal building.
That’ll be for corporate air-craft, charters and for medevac flights, Hendry said.

THE CITY wants to have its sign by-law revised by the end of the year to reflect the growing number of busi-nesses wishing to install animated LED signs.
A spate of variance permits to al-low animated signs outside of the C2 commercial zone inspired the revi-sion. Boston Pizza was the first com-pany to apply for a variance last year, and was granted permission to install a 3.5 square metre animated sign.
Currently these signs are only al-lowed in major commercial centres such as the Skeena Mall.
Council has already said other variance permits should not allow for animated signs larger than Boston Pizza’s.
The Boston Pizza sign also set a precedent for third party advertising as LED signs can be programmed to display ads not associated with the principal business.
The Boston Pizza sign also dis-played ads for Nechako Northcoast, which shares owners with Boston Pizza. This drew critical reaction
from neighbouring businesses, who reported their displeasure to the city.
“We have allowed Boston Pizza to keep the Nechako ad running un-til the end of April 2014,” said city development services director David Block. “Boston Pizza has been clear-ly informed that they cannot run any further third party ads on this, or any, signs on the commercial property.”
Since Boston Pizza’s sign went up, Terrace Home Hardware, Your Decor, and Lindsay Enterprises Inc were given variance permits for animated signs of various sizes and heights.
Block said that future variance permits might be deferred until after the city’s sign bylaw is amended.
“In the event another similar ap-plication is made staff will likely rec-ommend against issuing any further variances pending an update of the bylaw,” said Block.
The new bylaw could include set back rules for signs at busy intersec-tions.
City moves aheadto update sign regs

NC) As we get older our bodies start to change. Metabolism can slow down, and healthy eating and regular exercise become increasingly important. Few of us may be aware that our mouths, teeth and gums also need a little extra attention, especially as we age.In my dental practice, I see a lot of patients over the age of 50 whose oral health concerns are often similar: tender, inflamed gums, plaque build-up and bad breath. Here are three simple steps to help prevent these conditions from emerging or recurring:• Floss at least once a day to remove food and plaque from between the teeth. About three in 10 Canadian adults claim to floss at least once a day* – neglecting to do this can lead to gum disease.• Invest in an electric toothbrush with a timer and ensure you’re brushing for two minutes,
twice daily with a good toothpaste. A product I recommend to my patients is Crest Pro-Health For Life toothpaste; it helps defend against tooth sensitivity, weakened enamel, tender inflamed gums from gingivitis, plaque, bad breath and surface stains.• Rinse for 30 seconds with a multi-protection, alcohol-free rinse to help wash away remaining food particles and loosened plaque from flossing and brushing.By following these three steps and visiting your dentist regularly, you’ll be on your way to keeping your healthy looking smile for life.Dr. Janet Tamo is a Toronto dentist devoted to preventive, restorative and cosmetic dentistry and has spent 20 years teaching dentistry at the University of Toronto. Dr. Tamo is also a consulting dentist for Crest and Oral-B.-newscanada
ENSURING GOOD ORAL HEALTH FOR LIFE
ORAL CARE INCLUDES CUTTING DOWN ON SUGARNC) Oral hygiene is an important part of overall health – and now, in addition to brushing and flossing there is one more vital task to add to our daily routine: it’s equally important to keep our sweet tooth in check.It’s no secret that sugar is one of the biggest culprits when it comes to cavities and tooth decay, Statistics Canada reports that Canadians are getting over 20% of their daily calories from sugar. Consuming too much sugar is harmful to people of all ages, but the elderly are at particularly high risk when it comes to tooth decay.“As we age, our mouths often produce less saliva,” explains West Vancouver dentist Dr. Geoff Gillespie. “This, coupled with the side effects of many common medications, often leads to extreme dry mouth which seniors typically alleviate by sucking on candy or mints. Unfortunately, this temporary fix accelerates tooth decay.”Fortunately, according to Dr. Gillespie, there are products on the market that not only prevent these problems from getting worse, they actually reverse some of the effects.“Candy and gum sweetened with a natural sweetener called xylitol instead of sugar are proven to help increase saliva production,” he points out. “Xylitol also re-mineralizes tooth enamel and inhibits plaque and cavities up to 80%. This is the first natural sweetener I like because not only does it prevent cavities, it also creates a healthy, alkaline environment in the mouth.”In addition, here are some tips to avoid consuming too much added sugar: Snack on fruits and vegetables. While fruit does contain some natural sugar, it’s the refined and added sugars in candy and
processed foods that really wreak havoc on our dental health. Snacking on fruit is a great option, just avoid fruit juices, especially for little kids.Eat candy and gum sweetened without sugar. For serious sweet cravings, we can be smart about our snacks. For example, the Xyla brand of xylitol offers a wide range of candies and other sweet snacks, without any of the side effects of the real thing. And it’s a completely natural product that our bodies make already.Moderation. Hidden sugars are everywhere and it’s sometimes hard to avoid them completely. Be sure to keep serving sizes low and always brush and floss after sugar is consumed.We can all benefit from maintaining good oral health. Regular dental check-ups combined with smart eating can keep our mouths healthy for a lifetime.-newscanada
A PROVINCIAL cabi-net minister is confident at least one liquefied natural gas (LNG) com-pany will make a final investment decision ei-ther by the end of this year or at least by this time next year.
“My hope is that by the end of 2015, hope-fully we’ll see three,” said aboriginal affairs and reconciliation min-ister John Rustad who was on a brief tour of the region two weeks ago.
Although the north-west is regarded as the
hotbed for potential LNG projects, he said one near Squamish shows great potential.
Woodfibre LNG, owned by a company controlled by an Indo-nesian billionaire, has expectations of produc-ing LNG by 2017.
It has yet to receive environmental ap-proval for a project that would export 2.1 mil-lion tonnes of LNG a year, making it one of the smaller proposals being promoted in B.C. It would be built on a former pulp mill site, has access to an existing natural gas pipeline and access to power.
In making his pre-
diction, Rustad did ac-knowledge the billions of dollars it costs to build natural gas pipe-lines and liquefaction plants.
Financial troubles have stopped, at least for now, development of the BCLNG facility near Kitimat. Small in nature (its gas would come from the existing Pacific Northern Gas pipeline), the project was the first to receive environmental and reg-ulatory approval.
Initial plans called for it to be under con-
struction by this year.And Apache, an
equal partner with Chevron in the Kitimat LNG project, has an-nounced plans to sell some of its ownership stake because of in-creasing costs.
“You have to remem-ber that anyone of these projects dwarfs what is now the largest indus-trial project in B.C. and that is Rio Tinto Alcan at $3.3 billion,” said Rustad. “The [LNG] plants themselves are $10-15 billion.”
That’s why Rustad
said it isn’t unusual for companies to sell off portions of their proj-ects to other companies.
“It’s tough for a company to raise that kind of capital,” said Rustad. If anything, Rustad added, it should be comforting to know that the largest energy companies in the world are interested in north-western B.C.’s LNG potential.
“And we’ve got the gas supply to support a number of these proj-ects,” he said. “We’ll try now to pick those early
winners and keep trying to support them as they come through.”
Rustad did say it was important for the province to keep mov-ing forward because the same companies inter-ested in projects here are also looking at proj-ects elsewhere.
“We’re in a race and time is important,” he said.
Rustad, who is also the MLA for Nechako Lakes, spoke to busi-ness and other groups on his stops in Prince Rupert and Terrace.

Gov’t, CN close to park access dealBy ANNA KILLEN
ACCESS TO a popular recreation site off of Hwy16 west of Terrace may not be cut off after all.
There had been wor-ries CN Rail was going to shut down the rail-road crossing immedi-ately adjacent to Hwy16 that leads to the pro-vincial government’s Exstew recreation site after a sign erected by CN at the location ear-lier this year suggested the road would be cut off to the public April 1 if CN could not find someone to maintain its rail crossing.
But it now appears an agreement between the province and CN to have the crossing re-main open is imminent.
“It is the ministry’s intent to manage the road from the highway to/and including the CN crossing as a Forest Ser-vice Road,” said Minis-try of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations (FLNRO) public relations official Greig Bethel March 26.
CN officials said they were mainly con-cerned with the main-tenance of the few feet leading up to the cross-ing, which it said was the responsibility of the province.
But the situation be-came complicated with the province stating that logging company Coast Tsimshian Resources (CTR), which has long had a road permit for the road that leads to logging blocks as well as the rec site, was re-sponsible for the road maintenance, not the province.
But CTR said that while it had been mini-mally maintaining the road in good faith over the years, it had no ac-tive cutting permits for the area and hadn’t used the Exstew road since 2010 so it wouldn’t be entering into a formal agreement to maintain the crossing.
This led to continued discussions between CN and the province which yesterday con-firmed it will maintain the portion of the road between the highway and the railroad tracks. CTR will continue to hold the road permit for the rest of the road along the Exstew river towards the recreation site.
CTR official Dave
Jackson confirmed CTR will continue to maintain the road per-mit portion of the Ex-stew mainline, which includes up to the rec-reation site. “CTR is
pleased to hear that CN and FLNRO are devel-oping an agreement that will allow for continued public access across the Exstew mainline rail crossing,” he said.
The well-used area has one of the largest waterfalls in the prov-ince, an 11-slip camp-ing and picnic site, and opportunities for fishing and rock climbing. The
access road is located about 25 minutes west of Terrace.
Details of the agree-ment, including which party would be liable or partially liable if
something were to hap-pen on the tracks at the crossing, are still under discussion. Costs to maintain the crossing “will vary, depending on usage, weather and
season, but are expected to be reasonable based upon discussions to date,” said the ministry, with CN maintaining the crossing and billing the ministry.

■ AccidentTHE INVESTIGATION continues into the early morning accident on March 28 on Hwy16 near Usk in which this lumber carrier ended up on its side beside the highway. RCMP say their investigation includes looking into the possibility of impaired driving.
SKEENA NDP MLA Robin Austin is sup-porting Victoria area MLA John Horgan in his bid to be the next leader of the provincial New Democratic Party.
Austin also backed Horgan when he came third in the 2011 NDP leadership race that saw Adrian Dix become leader.
Dix is vacating that post after the party lost the May 2013 election, requiring another lead-ership race.
Although Horgan had ruled himself out as a leadership candidate last year, he reversed
that decision earlier this year.
Austin, who at � rst was one of a group that unsuccessfully tried to persuade Skeena NDP MP Nathan Cullen to run, said that once Cul-len decided against run-ning, Horgan became his prime choice.
“I met with him and told him that a) we needed a race and that we shouldn’t be a party that simply nominated the next leader,” said Austin last week.
“And I also think he’s the best person to reach people who nor-mally don’t think about
politics when there isn’t an election period.”
That ability to com-municate, particularly on television, is crucial, said Austin.
“The strength of Christy Clark, her No. 1 strength is her abil-ity to communicate, her ability to say something so that people believe it even though it’s rub-bish,” he said.
Positions held by Horgan when he was in the civil service during the last NDP govern-ment and his work since becoming a NDP MLA have given him a grasp of issues important to
the region, he said.Horgan, for exam-
ple, said Austin, helped negotiate the terms of an agreement in north-eastern B.C. in which the province pays local governments a share of resource taxation.

Well, lookie here.
One minute you have a perfectly good Blue Box recycling program. The next, something new and rather questionable is being put in its place. And they thought they’d get away with it right under your nose, without telling you or asking your opinion.
That’s defi nitely not democracy in action.
The BC Government, elected by us to represent our best interests, has decided to offl oad the costs of recycling to big multi-national corporations. To implement this new plan, they’ve set up an association that doesn’t really seem to hold the environment, local jobs, or the municipalities that run the Blue Box program, close to its heart.
Perhaps that’s why some of our local elected offi cials are using the word “scam” to describe how the new program is being set up. It’s also perhaps why several of BC’s municipalities refuse to jump on board.
That’s gotta tell you something.
Now it’s your turn to let Premier Christy Clark know what you think. Contact her today to say that dismantling an already-working recycling program to replace it with something that few people think will be as good, is a bad idea.
What’s going on here?
Email Christy Clark at [email protected] or call 250-387-1715. For more info, visit RethinkItBC.ca. #RethinkItBC.
This Message is brought to you by:
While you’re not looking, this is what’s happening to BC’s world renowned recycling program.

Even status quo estimates show the number of low quality housing situations swelling to 799 by 2021.
“It’s a little bit upset-ting,” said Tyers about the core housing number. “That means living in unsuitable and unsafe housing. Unsuit-able meaning you have too many people for the number of bedrooms and not up to standards.”
The assessment also found there’s a risk that av-erage income earners may
feel a crunch if house prices continue to rise.
“Nearly a quarter of the Greater Terrace Area’s resi-dents were living with low incomes in 2011, placing a significant proportion of the population at risk of spend-ing an unaffordable amount of income on housing or be-ing forced out of the local housing market,” reads the report.
The $15,000 assessment commissioned by the city re-veals an at-risk demographic
that has grown since a previ-ous such study was conduct-ed in 2009.
Over the four years the list of those having difficulty finding affordable housing has grown to include single parent households, aborigi-nal families, the physically and mentally challenged, new arrivals and students, says the report.
“Everyone is really hap-py to get the information. As council we have been working hard to address-
ing this through bylaws and zoning and this is essentially one more piece of ammo in our arsenal to keep going and keep pushing the pro-vincial and federal govern-ment to put in their share,” said Tyers. The next step is educating developers about programs that can gain them sponsorship for affordable housing developments avail-able through federal and provincial programs.
The assessment states that a per-unit fee charged
on housing developments that require variances or re-zoning to increase density is one of the best ways for the city to accumulate money for affordable housing proj-ects.
This policy is already be-ing introduced in a bylaw now being developed to per-mit work camps at the city’s Skeena Industrial Develop-ment Park.
See Page 5 of this week’s Terrace Standard for more on student housing issues.

“We have plans to build a safer, better pipeline. We also have plans
to operate it that way.”Janet Holder, Leader of Northern Gateway
I’m Janet Holder, leader of Northern Gateway. Of the 209 conditions set by the Joint Review Panel, over 60 deal specifi cally with land safety and related environmental safeguards.
EXCEEDING EXPECTATIONS
We are working on those conditions with the same diligence that we are applying to the tough conditions mandated by the Province. In many cases, these conditions refl ect the world class voluntary land safety measures that Northern Gateway proposed during the Review process.
A BETTER, SAFER PIPELINE
Our land safety measures primarily focus on spill prevention. With new standards in pipeline design and integrity, construction, monitoring and project management, we want to build a better, safer pipeline.
A RESPECTFUL ROUTE
After a decade of planning, we have mapped out a pipeline route that will have as little
impact as possible on British Columbia’s terrain and neighbouring communities. In fact, 70% of the route utilizes previously disturbed lands, including old forestry roads, cut blocks and other disturbances.
A WATCHFUL EYE
We are equally committed to setting new standards when it comes to Emergency Preparedness and Response. In fact, JRP Conditions #174 and #175 require us to fi le separate emergency response plans for every 10-km section of pipe.

Better at Home boosts quality of life
MARGARET SPEIRS PHOTO
SILVIA WEIDNER, right, loves the care she gets with the Better at Home program, which is coordinated by Ida Mohler, left, at Volunteer Terrace.
Artist loves challenge, the tougher the betterBy MARGARET SPEIRS
FOR ARTIST Anita Desnoyers, it doesn’t matter if she’s never done something before; if she wants to do it, she will.
And the more challenging the bet-ter. For example, when she decided to take up crocheting, the clerk at the craft store showed her the patterns, but rather than choosing one for be-ginners, she picked the most dif� cult one.
“If it’s not a challenge, I won’t do it,” she said, adding she’s always had that quality. “If it’s hard, I’ll jump in and do it; if it’s easy I don’t want it.”
So after turning on the public tele-vision show The Joy of Painting and watching host Bob Ross, well-known for his soft voice and afro, she took up painting.
“I thought ‘I think I could do that,” she said, adding she began videotap-ing his show because he painted too fast to follow.
At � rst, she was afraid of mak-ing mistakes and would rub out any error and do it again. After a while, she stopped worrying about making mistakes and her paintings improved.
She moved up here from Vancou-ver 14 years ago after coming up to help her father, who was dying of cancer, and he asked her to stay to take care of her mother after he passed away so her mother wouldn’t be alone. She agreed and moved here.
Both her parents have since died but she stayed, loving the beauty that’s all around.
“It’s the most beautiful landscape you can paint,” she said, adding the area is an open canvas for her.
All her paintings are originals; she may do a painting more than once, but there’s always something she changes about subsequent ones so no two are the same.
“I always change them. They’re never, ever the same,” she said.
So if people see a painting they love and it’s already sold, they will be able to get another one that’s similar in future.
Her latest, and one of her biggest creations yet, is almost three-dimen-sional as viewers can look at it and also into it.
And it was also her most daunting canvas to date.
By MARGARET SPEIRS
A CLIENT of a new program to assist seniors who want to continue to live in their own homes but need help doing daily tasks wants others who need it to know about the program too.
Silvia Weidner, who has been receiving services since shortly after the program started in January, has a home-making worker come in to clean her place for an hour-and-a-half every two weeks as part of the provincial Bet-ter at Home Program.
“I’m so glad to have this program,” said Weidner. “It’s taken the weight off my shoulders and improved my out-look.”
The Better at Home program, rolled out a year ago by the provincial government and organized and overseen by the United Way, is aimed at providing services to seniors so they can continue to live in their homes.
Volunteer Terrace works with We Care Home Health Services, which provides the workers, who do personal care, homemaking, and medical care at home to name a few things. We Care Home Health Services is accredited and all staff are registered and insured.
Con� dentiality is also a big part of the workers’ jobs, which means the clients know that anything said or what happens at their residences is kept con� dential, leading to trust between the client and worker.
Weidner, who has cancer, � nds it dif� cult to do things, such as cleaning and doing dishes.
It’s dif� cult to ask friends and family to help because they work and aren’t always available, she said.
She didn’t even know about the service until a friend mentioned it and encouraged her to apply.
“I didn’t think I’d qualify,” she said, adding she was pleased when she found out she’d been accepted.
The service helps with a person’s mental well-being which in turn, affects physical well-being, said Weidner.
“She keeps me in the standard I like to have,” she said about her worker, whose name is kept con� dential.

DAPHNE AND Rollie have a hilarious time filming a Skin Flick, playing April 3-5 at the golf club.
“Because the cleanliness is kept up, it’s not depressing,” she said, adding it’s easier to keep it up afterward and that also makes the work easier for the worker the next time.
Ida Mohler, the Better at Home coordinator at Volun-teer Terrace, said after an ap-plication for the program is re-ceived, she and We Care staff will go to assess a person’s home to see what needs to be done and what kind of work-er is required. Then We Care matches the worker to the cli-ent, which has been a perfect match for Weidner.
“My worker is just fabu-lous,” she said.
Her worker cleans her place, which has included the ceiling fan, and after several months of wanting to do it, finally had time to clean the knick knacks on top of the cupboards.
She took them down, Wei-dner washed them and she put them back up.
“They work along with you,’ said Mohler about the workers. Workers come in to assist the clients, who may still want to do some tasks them-selves, such as make the bed or do their own laundry, but
need help with other aspects of living, and that’s fine, said Mohler.
Workers are sensitive to the client’s needs and compassion-ate too, said Weidner.
One time, Weidner was too sick to do her dishes and her worker asked if there was any-thing else she’d like her to do.
“She actually asked ‘can I do this for you?’” said Wei-dner, who was pleased to be asked.
“Quality of life is impor-tant and this contributes to my qualify of life.”
Mohler said the program
can have 30 clients and, with only 17 clients at present, there’s room for more.
A worker may come in temporarily or on a perma-nent basis and the service can be put on hold for a while if a client has family visiting and doesn’t need the help during that time.
Weidner encourages those who have never thought of get-ting the Better at Home pro-gram to try it.
“I know what a difference it makes for me and if it helps me, it can help somebody else,” she said.

Seniors can live at home longer
When she bought the big canvas, which measures six feet by three feet, or 1.8 m x 1 m, she decided to save it for something special.
She set it aside for a long time, started to paint and found it to be too overwhelm-ing so she put it aside again.
Then one day, she sat down and kept painting until it was finished.
She’s not sure how many hours it took to finish but she was pleased with it and says she “definitely” will do more large paintings.
Taking a look at it before taking it to a potential buyer, she noticed a spot that she’d change next time.
“The tree should go over the log there,” she said, pointing to a tree on the far right
side that has the lowest part of its trunk be-hind a moss-covered log, saying she will stretch the tree down to the ground in front of the log in the next version of that paint-ing. And likely there will be other differ-ences too.
To see more of her paintings, see the details on the April show at the art gallery under City Scene below.
A SUSPECT who allegedly destroyed three homes, leaving three residents homeless, in what police are calling “three nights of sense-less vandalism” goes on trial next week.
Terrace RCMP arrested the suspect, who will remain in custody until his day in court, reported police recently.
“It was fortunate that in each of these in-cidents, the occupants of the residences fled prior to the collapse of the homes,” says Const. Angela Rabut, Terrace RCMP com-munity policing/media relations officer.
Terrace RCMP were called to the first in-cident on Straw St. where the resident told them a stranger had knocked on his door ask-ing to be let in.
When he refused, the stranger became bel-ligerent and threatening, mentioning “blow” several times, leading police to believe the suspect’s actions may have been drug related.
Then the resident heard suspicious noises and his home began to tremble. In fright, he ran out and fled to a relative’s home on Mud Ave. and the house collapsed shortly after.
Terrace RCMP were called to the second incident on Mud Ave. the next day.
The homeowner said he was inside hav-ing dinner with his brother when they heard knocking on the front door and somebody de-manding to be let in.
His brother said the voice was similar to what he heard the prior night at his own resi-dence just before it was tragically destroyed.
The pair fled to their relative’s home on Brick Ave, again narrowly escaping the resi-dence as it collapsed.
Terrace RCMP was on patrol near Brick Ave. the third day when an officer observed an offender known to police destroying a home on Brick Ave. The three occupants were able to escape the home without injury.
Police promptly arrested the vandal but it was too late, for the home, sadly, collapsed.
“The seriousness of these events is ex-tremely concerning. The full resources of the justice system are working on this case to bring it to its conclusion in an expedited fashion,” said Rabut. “The vandal has agreed to stand trial on April 10 at 4:30 p.m. at the Terrace Courthouse.”
Two charges of mischief not exceeding $5,000 and one charge of mischief exceed-ing $5,000 were forwarded to Crown coun-sel and approved. The case will take place in supreme court here and will be heard by Mr. Justice Darryl Wightman.
“The public is encouraged to attend this trial and in the process, observe firsthand the workings of our justice system,” said Rabut.
◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆April 10 is Law Day and local crown and
defence counsel are mentoring Caledonia law students to be crown and defence in the ‘trial’ of the Big Bad Wolf, the closing event of the day.
Also that day will be a barbecue and dis-plays by law enforcement and related fields.
The trial will include testimony from the three little pigs, the victims of the alleged crimes; Const. Scarlett Serge, the officer who arrested the accused and gathered evidence from the scene; and the defence has expert Dr. Doo Little to testify on its behalf.
As with all criminal cases, the trial will be overseen by a judge, clerk and sheriffs and exhibits will be shown, including the ac-cused’s alleged criminal record.
For more details on Law Day and the im-pending trial of the century, see the Commu-nity Calendar on page 20.

Larry (Zeke) Jones It is with great sadness and shock that we announce the
sudden passing of Larry (Zeke) Jones, on March 18th 2014, just after celebrating his 66th birthday on March 6th.
Larry left behind a tremendous amount of family, friends and people that he touched through his work that he loved.
He leaves behind his wife and partner Tracey Davidson, step-daughter Grace, son Eric (California), his Dad Joe Such (Indiana), his father Gene Jones (Tennessee), brothers in Indiana; Dennis Jones, Steve (Kathy), and Aaron Such. Larry was predeceased by his mom Lottie Such and his sister Cindy Jones.
After 66 years of living a wild and crazy life, and some of you know those wonderful stories; he ended up in Terrace BC. Larry had a wonderful extended family at 16-37 Community Futures. He is going to miss Ken (Lorna and Austin), Wade, Debbie, Sally and Sean very much; along with many of the other people that he worked with throughout the years there. To his “Faller” buddies…cheers!
Larry would not want us to mourn him in the traditional sense, so to honor his wishes we will have a party later in the spring at the home he loved; BBQ ribs, playing the Blues (his favorite), with a single malt in hand. We will post a date later this spring.
In lieu of flowers we ask that a donation be made to NARA (Northern Animal Rescue Alliance) in memory of Larry and his dogs that he loved.

Another of the Greatest Generation passed peace-fully on March 7 with her family and a last rye and coke at her side. Dorma was born June 13, 1918 in Penticton where she lived for 32 years before moving to Terrace in 1951 and fi nally to the Vancouver area in 1967.
Mom was one-of-a-kind; feisty, loving, generous, witty, independent, frugal and determined. She en-dured her hardships with a quiet strength and was always ready to party with her family, fellow curlers and Elks, Royal Purple and Legion members. She was a teenager during the Great Depression, lost her fi rst husband (Robert Archer) and a brother (Bruce Mc-Quistin) in service with the RCAF in WWII, her second child (Lynda McKerracher) in infancy in 1949, her second husband (Neil McKerracher) in 1979 and was predeceased by two brothers and a sister in her later years. With Neil she relocated to Terrace, at that time a small logging and sawmilling village, after losing the family business in Penticton to an uninsured fi re.
She is survived by her daughter Leslie Stanyer (Joe Turner) of Okanagan Falls, sons Dan of Kamloops and Rich (Lynn) of North Vancouver, her sister Jack-ie Bristol (Ivar) of Penticton, 5 grandchildren, 7 great grandchildren and many nieces and nephews. She had a special relationship with and chose to reside close to her granddaughter, Layne Stanyer, of White Rock, who was a great support in her declining years. She loved and was loved by the wonderful Care Team at Whitecliff Retirement Home.
We are grateful for her long life, her happy heart, and her deep love for us all.

We deeply regret to announce the passing of Dorothy Anna May Kuemper on March 21st 2014 after a courageous battle with auto immune disease leading to complications with can-cer. Her long time loving husband Ernie and son Kevin with daughter in law Trudy by her side. Dorothy was born in Prince Rupert March 26, 1938 to Joyce Cole whom passed away when Dorothy was just fi ve years old. She was also most re-cently predeceased by her loving aunt Dorothy Sieben. Mom will be greatly missed by her devoted husband Ernie Clemons and their son’s Terrance Allen and Kevin John. Dorothy adored her daughter in-law Trudy Macaraeg and is very proud of her two grandchildren Kevin Ernie Clemente and Kristal Anna Macaraeg.
She is also survived by her brother Edward (Rose) Glea-son and special aunt and good friend Shirley Houle and many more extended loving family members. Mother cherished her life long friends as well as her recent friendships made locally these past 20 years. Yet, Mother’s life did not really start until 1956 in Terrace where she met and fell in love with her hus-band Ernie Clemens Kuemper. Mother’s main focus was always dedicated to her husband and family.
Mother loved living life gardening and planting fl owers along side all the free fl ying birdies.
Mother defi nitely had attention to detail that not many oth-ers could duplicate. Mother was sharp, always had a good sense of humor and shared that with us right to the very end of her life.
We Love You Mother and will never forget You.It was Dorothy’s request not to have a Celebration of Life
ceremony but wants to thank all the many people who have been praying for her. Consequently, there was a casual prayer service for Dorothy at Saint Joseph’s Catholic Church in Salm-on Arm at 10 am, Wednesday March 26th.
The family would like to Thank All the many Doctors and Nurses from Salmon Arm who provided care for Dorothy, es-pecially nurses like Marvin and Chad who gave ultra care for her. Special Thank You to retired Dr. Michel Saab for his guid-ance and support during this most diffi cult time for the family.
We Will Meet Again Mom.

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.

■Camp!ONCE AGAIN, Nick Kol-
lias’ indoor youth soccer camp over spring break
netted a solid crop of young athletes. The youth took to
the Caledonia Gym March 17 – 21 to learn the basics of
football. The camp was just one of many activities taking place around Terrace over spring break. And the Terrace Youth Soccer Association is gear-ing up for a start to the 2014 season later this spring, with of� cial registration now closed – but opportuni-ties for late entrants. And volunteers are always needed, email [email protected] for more infor-mation.
Atlantis Taekwondo rolls out the welcome matCLUBS FROM all over the north west came to show off their martial art skills March 15 in Terrace, with Atlantis Taekwondo host-ing its second northwest B.C. championships.
Cody Skog, instructor of Atlantis Taekwondo, says he was very happy with the attendance and skill levels from all the clubs.
“A big thank you to all the volunteers that made the tournament a success,” said Skog.
The tournament started with a competition amongst the shadow warriors – three- to � ve-year-olds who are “hilarious and super awesome,” said Skog. The shadow warriors competed on a timed “death defying” obstacle course.
After the shadow war-riors, the tournament went into sparring and patterns from white to black belts of all ages.
The tournaments largest division was teen red and black belts boys, and the matches were very excit-ing to watch, he said, not-ing he hopes to see more spectators out next year. Next spring Atlantis Tae-kwondo is going to host a
black belt tournament, with Skog hand selecting the best � ghters in Canada.
“I also would like to thank Mr. John Hooge for ref� ng,” said Skog, noting Hooge recently achieved
his 3rd degree black belt.Judges were Mr. Ocean
Skog, 2nd degree, Mr. Shi-loh Skog, 1st degree, Mr. Malcom Neifer, 1st degree, and Mr. Jerad Daumont 1st degree.

It was the summer of 1981. Karen and I left the Interstate 5 at its junction with Highway 530 and drove east in my little green Honda through Sno-
homish County. Beautiful farmland ripen-ing under the summer sun surrounded us as we as made our way toward the North Fork of the Stillaguamish River.
My desire to see the river had been whet-ted by the exquisite black and whites of the Stillaguamish and its Washington State re-lations in � y � shing photographer Ralph Wahl’s alluring Come Wade the River and by what I’d read In Trey Combs’s Fly Fishing and Flies. From Combs, I learned that the � y � shers who favoured the Stilly had played an important role in the devel-opment of steelhead � y � shing on North America’s west coast.
Combs wrote of how, in 1930, the Sno-homish County Sportsmen’s Association proposed that Deer Creek and one mile of the Stillaguamish below the spot where the creek entered that river should be restricted to � y � shing. Despite the fact that the area was a minuscule part of what was avail-able to � shermen in that time of salmon abundance, bait � shers were apoplectic and raised such a large ruckus, on the basis that the proposed � y-only restriction tram-pled upon their democratic freedoms, that the Washington State Game Commission was moved to reverse its original decision supporting the Snohomish County sports-men.
The proposal was the � rst of its kind on a western salmon stream. It would not go away. Thanks to the tireless efforts of a then newly formed Washington Fly� shing Club – and in particular three of its pi-oneering members, Ken McCloud, Enos Brad-ner, and Letcher Lam-buth – the entire north fork of the Stillagua-mish was eventually set aside as a � y only sum-mer run river.
In 1918, that pro-li� c purveyor of purple prairie prose Zane Grey, whose book sales were only bested by that of the Bible, stopped at Deer Creek, the tribu-tary of the Stilly’s north fork on his way to � sh for Campbell River Chinook. Grey pronounced the Creek the most beautiful trout water he’d ever seen. It was “as clear as crystal, and as cold as ice,” he wrote.
Grey whose fame as an author of dust-ers just barely eclipsed his fame as a � sh-erman and a � shing writer, caught his � rst steelhead on Deer Creek and he never for-got the rhapsody of the experience.
Nine years after Grey caught his � rst steelhead, English ex-pat, Roderick Haig-
Brown, then working in a logging camp in Washington State (and quite possibly drawn to the place by the writing of Zane Grey), made his way to the Deer Creek Con� uence in search of his � rst steelhead.
After landing some bull trout he mistakenly took for steelhead, the man who was to become Canada’s most famous angling author wrote: “The river was bigger than the word ‘creek’ had led me to expect and it was beautiful, clear and bright and fast, tum-bled on rocks and gravel bars.”
At that time I’d just read and reread Steve Raymond’s Year of the Angler. Ray-mond, who was the editor of the Seattle Times at the time had lived in and � shed the area for decades so knew the North Fork of the Stilly intimately.
“The bright summer � sh ran to the mouth of Deer Creek,” he wrote, “held there in the pools and rif� es until it was time to run up the creek itself, back into the trackless wilderness where the loggers had yet to reach. No one knows the origi-nal size of the great native run, but there
is little doubt that it was one of the � nest summer runs in the world, perhaps the � n-est of them all.”
After a jog up Highway 9, we turned east back onto the Arlington-Darrington Road for a short distance then turned right on North Olympic Avenue into the town of Arlington to buy supplies. It has probably changed a lot over the intervening years, but then, to foreigners like us, Arlington had the look and feel of the quintessen-tial small American town like the � ctional Mayberry North Carolina made famous on the Andy Grif� th Show.
Shopping done, we resumed our jour-ney, stopping next just past the bridge at Cicero where I’d spotted an angler casting over the tail of a nice looking pool. I pulled over and watched as he hooked and then released a steelhead. After he let the � sh go, he and made his way across the river and up the bank to where I was standing.
When I asked, he showed me the small dark � y he’d used to lure the steelhead he’d recently released. It had a � eck of tinsel.
Maybe it’s too bright, he said. I told him I was from Canada and of my
quest to explore some of the famous steel-head rivers of Washington State. He said his name was Bob and that he had a cabin at Oso, near the con� uence of Deer Creek and the Stillaguamish.
I’m off to � sh another run, he said, but you should join me there later. Continued…

Bronze for Terrace U16 ringette team
CONTRIBUTED PHOTO

TERRACE’S U16 ringette team took home bronze from provincial championships in Prince George March 6 – 9 after a number of close games throughout the tournament.
The team entered BC Ringette “B” provincials with high hopes af-ter months of hard work with their hearts set on gold, and played tough the entire tournament. Their rivals were equally matched.
“The kids really did well, espe-cially considering that we had not a ton of games prior to them this year
– the games were very close,” said coach Jacque Dahl.
Terrace fought hard through six games, including numerous big goals scored by Peter Nicholson, Cassidy Pavao, Bryn Giesbrecht, Danny Yoo, Oliva Resch and Crim-zon Leblond.
After three tiresome days of play, Terrace U16s walked away with Bronze medals and the Fair Play Award. Prince George � nished with gold medals, while Shuswap went home with Silver.
Nightmares jam at season openerROLLER DERBY season is open and Terrace’s Northcoast Nightmares are looking tough right out of the gate.
The team travelled to Prince George for its � rst tournament of the season, the Rated PG hosted Northern Exposures Tournament, March 22 and 23, and faced off against four other teams from all over the north.
After an exhaustive � ve bouts over the weekend that resulted in two wins and three losses, the team took home a fourth place � nish.
The Nightmares faced tough teams on the track.In their � rst game, the Nightmares won 169 to
62 against the Grimshaw Reapers. They then fell to the Deadlies, scoring 40 points against, and to Grand Prairie before beating Grimshaw again.
But taking on the Deadlies, ranked 30th in the country and Grand Prairie’s Rage n’Fyre, ranked 32, was an invaluable learning experience for the Nightmares who started competing competitively only last year.
“The tournament was full of learning opportuni-ties for our team,” says Jessica (Marge Sins Some) Hogg, Co-Captain of North Coast Nightmares. “We basically played enough bouts for an entire season in one weekend, and facing such experienced play-
ers was both challenging and rewarding.”The team will be taking what they learned over
the tournament and applying that to the rest of the season.
“We came home with a long list of strategies and counter strategies we will continue to work on be-fore our next bout against Prince George in April,” says Ben (Beny Bones) Collie, Nightmares Coach.
And the team gained a reputation for playing with a lot of heart and noticeable improvement with each game.
“I was impressed by those Nightmares from Ter-race who played four full games on Saturday and never gave up for a minute,” said Bradley (Coach Lime) Foote, a well-known � gure in international roller derby circles. He was there with the Kam-loop’s Deadlies who � nished 1st overall.
Next up, the Nightmares play Rated PG on April 19th in PG.
And the North Coast Nightmares play against Quesnel’s Gold Pain City at the Terrace Sportsplex on May 10th. Tickets for “Who’s Yo Mamma” Roller Derby Bout available at Ruins and will be on sale soon. For more information contact the Night-mares on Facebook or at [email protected].

Driveway readers to spend billions to buy a new set of wheels
Driveway readers are in the mood to splash out an astonishing $3.6 billion-plus of their hard-earned cash to buy new vehicles this year.This is not some wild, optimistic pre-diction but a solid
forecast based on what our readers revealed in a comprehensive survey conducted on behalf of Black Press by Pulse Research, a company with 30 years of experience in asking the right questions of consumers. In a series of wide-ranging interviews, Black Press newspaper readers from all over the province gave Pulse a comprehensive account of their spending plans. Their intention to spend $53.1 million on fish and chips, $45.8 million on tooth whitening, $13.1 million on tattoos or piercing, $9.1 million on pet toys and $1.9 million on tuxedos, raised some smiles.But the auto spending intent grabbed our seri-ous attention. A massive 123,275 households will take vehicles for a spin and sign on the dotted line. A massive 51,895 will park a new car on their driveway, 32,312 will house a sport ute in their garage, while another 28,395 will opt for a truck out front. Most people surveyed knew what kind of wheels they would be look-ing for and what they were prepared to pay.
The sticker price range for most folks is $25-$30,000. However, premium car sellers will be pleased that 13,708 plan to spend an average of $45,000 on one of their products. Another 7,883 will shell out an average of $64,413 for refined vehicles in the $50-$75,000 price range. In addition, 2,937 more will spend an average of $82,448 on luxury marques. An eco-conscious 11,750 house-holds will fork out more than $30 grand for a hybrid or electric vehicle. Utilitarian minivans top the shopping list at 9,791 homes, with budgets a shade under $30,000.We even discovered that readers would spend another $2 billion on car servicing, preventive maintenance, oil changes and after-market products. Good news for used car sales: 105,750 households are prepared to spend $1.69 billion on pre-owned, nearly new, or whatever the cur-rent parlance is for second-hand vehicles as they used to be called!Last week, Blair Qualey, the president of the New Car Dealers Association of BC, talked about the importance of his industry to this province in his column here about the Van-couver International Auto Show, which runs until Sunday,
Reacting to the Black Press/Pulse report he said: “Customers today are clearly taking advantage of one of the most exciting times in automotive history. Dealers across BC are focusing like never before on creating a better buying expe-rience – a more enjoyable, more informed and
entertaining experience on-site and online. It’s almost as if dealers are putting on mini Auto Shows every day of the week!”He continued: “There are more than 350 new car dealerships across the province, and new ones popping up all the time, making this industry one of BC’s most important. Not only because they generate more than $10 bil-lion annually in economic activity, but also because they employ directly and indirectly, more than 34,000 full-time people in the more than 50 communities that they serve. The buying intent of Black Press readers is terrific news for our members and the BC economy.

“Somewhere along the line, the rebuilt status was dropped.”
Confessions of a CurberIt’s only been a month, but I can see myself selling cars for a long, long time. I feel like a new man. One evening, I was in line at the superstore. An elderly gentleman saw my shopping cart. I had a new digital tire gauge that I was going to give to my next buyer.Turns out he was looking for a used car as he’d recently given his car to his grandson. He just needed something basic. “This is your lucky day!” I told him.The old fellow was around my father-in-law’s age – close to 80. He walked with a cane and had two ear pieces. I was practically shouting to him. What an easy sale.I decided to give him a ride and show him the car. He went on to tell me about his young granddaughter, too.At any rate, we got to the car – it was a base model with an automatic transmission. “It’s perfect for you, sir!” I exclaimed.He got in and sat at the wheel. His face lit up right away. I could tell that he’d been a car enthusiast in his younger days. “Where’d you get this car, son?” he asked me.“It’s my dad’s old car – he passed away and I
just can’t keep it anymore,” I lied. In reality, I imported the car from Washington. It came with documents that mentioned New York State. The title was clean, so I assumed it was in good condition. I priced the vehicle quite high – well over its value. But he didn’t know, and he didn’t ask any more questions. I told him I had another buyer interested (another lie), and that he had to make a decision right away.With no hesitation, he got a bank draft and I gave him the keys. Like I promised, I threw in the new tire gauge. Marty gave me a wink and slowly drove off.Another foolish customer, I thought. No history report to keep me on my toes. And worse, he needs to get it inspected, registered and insured within 30 days - I didn’t bother. I just got my buddy in Bellingham to help me get it across.That evening, I took out the papers I’d received with the car. I decided to go over them more thoroughly. I guess I was a bit bored.Turns out, the vehicle had been registered in four U.S. states. Somewhere along the line, the rebuild* status was dropped. Probably intentionally. The inspection and ICBC will catch that. And who knows if the odometer is right? At least it’s no longer mine.
*Rebuild – A vehicle written off as a total loss by an insurance company, then rebuilt
and certifi ed for use. This term does not describe a vehicle that has a new or
repaired motor, transmission or other major part. Rebuilds offer savings
when repaired well, but a buyer has a right to know
it was rebuilt. But this buyer didn’t and Walt
walked away with the cash.

LOUISVILLE, KY. - The 200 is not a new nameplate for Chrysler but the 2015 model is all-new from the ground up.
This generation of 200 debuts the new “face of Chrysler” with its signature grille and logo. There’s also a standard set of rear LED tailamps, and the interior craftsmanship is much more impressive than before.
This mid-size sedan is hoping to play ball – and win – against competitors like the Ford Fusion, Honda Accord, Mazda6 and Toyota Camry, in an ever-aggressive segment.
Using the baseball analogy with the 200 seemed apropos since the drive event took place in Louisville, Kentucky, the home of the Louisville slugger.
Nevertheless, here are the meat and po-tatoes for the all-new vehicle.
There are four trims of 200 available. First is the LX and that has a starting MSRP of $22,995. Then there’s the Limited, the S and the top-of-the-line C model.
Regardless of trim, each comes with an in-dustry first, also known as a 9-speed automatic transmission.
My day started behind the wheel of the Limited trim with the 2.4L, 4-cylin-der MultiAir engine (MSRP $24,995). This powerplant produces 184 horse-power and 173 lb-ft of torque.
The interior reflects that of thought-ful craftsmanship and design. Soft touch materials are used throughout and the layout is easy on the eyes. Not to mention the abundance of cubby-holes in which to place personal items.
On a side note, the interior colour combinations drew inspiration from various American cities. For example,
the all black interior pays homage to New York City, the Linen and Black is Sausalito, California and the Blue and Black on the S model to Detroit.
The centre stack can be adorned with either a 5-inch touch screen or the optional 8.4-inch. To me, the 5-inch screen seemed a little small, so I’d invest in the larger version. That said, it was still highly functional and easy to use.
On the road, the 2.4L Limited shines brightest when on the highway and on long stretches of pavement. It has ability in the twists and turns, but to really get a dynamic feel, you’d need
to opt for the S or C trim to put it in the Sport mode. In that case, you get a different suspension setup and steering feel to really allow you to have more fun in the captain’s chair.
Back to the 2.4L though.
In the city, I felt I didn’t need much more power. Steering feel is light and allows to car the move with ease at slow speeds and gingerly into parking spots. Overall, a pleas-ant drive.
The second half of my day was consumed with the V6. Yum.
The award winning 3.6L, Pentastar V6 packs 295 horsepower underneath its sparkling new hood. For a driver’s car, this is the one I’d pick.
What’s more, you can configure this engine on all trims except the base LX. Additionally, you can opt for an all-wheel drive setup too.
However, the AWD system needs to be paired with the V6.
Getting into the sport mode, or fun mode as I call it, requires pushing down and turning the central dial/gear selector to the right. Make sure you
push it down, otherwise it won’t go anywhere. And less fun will be had.
When accelerating, there’s a little bit of a throaty gurgle that comes standard out of the twin exhaust pipes around back. It’s a nice sound and one that I enjoyed hearing over and over again.
One thing I did notice is that the A pillar did have width to it, so visibility is a little trickier out the front. And with its sloping roofline, visibility out the rear could have been better. Thank goodness for the rearview camera.
Along with its new bodywork and insides, there are over 60 standard and available safety features to keep both you and the 200 looking good and in one piece.
The 2015 Chrysler 200 will be avail-able in the second quarter of 2014.Visit www.chrysler.ca for more [email protected]
