Jack Talstra

THE TERRACE mayor who took the city through one of its darkest periods when a major forest industry em-ployer closed down and who then laid the foundations for an economic turnaround has died.

Jack Talstra was 68. He passed away in Mills Memo-rial Hospital, surrounded by family, early in the morning of Dec. 5.

Talstra served as mayor from 1985 to 2008, a period of 23 years, the longest any-one has served in that ca-pacity. That period took in an economic revival of the

city’s fortunes when a for-est products company called Repap opened a new Skeena Cellulose sawmill here in 1988 but also years of in-stability when the company ran into financial troubles in 1997, ultimately resulting in it closing down completely early in the next decade.

Without the city’s largest industrial taxpayer, Talstra and the city council of that period trimmed the city’s ex-penses and operations.

But he also took part in a campaign to position the city as the northwest’s shop-ping and service centre to

surrounding communities, pursuing big box stores and other amenities.

Talstra also lobbied the provincial government ag-gressively for ownership of several thousand acres of crown land off of Hwy 37 South just south of the Northwest Regional Airport on which to locate taxpaying industries.

Known first as the airport industrial lands, it’s now

known formally as the Skee-na Industrial Development Park in partnership with the Kitselas First Nation, half of which has now been sold to a Chinese economic devel-opment agency.

The city just last month renamed the main road into the industrial park as Jack Talstra Way. Following the complete closure of the Skeena Cellulose mill, Tals-tra placed the city as a finan-

cial contributor to a locally-formed company called the Terrace Lumber Company to purchase the facility.

That took place in the spring of 2005 but market and other conditions forced the mill’s closure again the following year and it was eventually dismantled.

The city ended up with the Keith Ave. acreage on which the mill and accom-panying log yard was lo-cated, making it one of the larger holders of real estate within city boundaries.

LNG holds uptreaty talks

Cont’d Page A14

By ANNA KILLEN

THE PROVINCE’S single-minded focus on developing a liquefied natural gas (LNG) industry is getting in the way of treaty negotiations, according to the chief negotiator for Kitselas and Kitsumkalum, two local First Nations trying to craft final agreements.

“It’s taking resources that normally, I feel, would have been addressed to treaty making and they’re going into LNG requirements,” said Gerald Wesley, who is also working with the Metlakatla First Nation on treaty talks as Tsimshian chief negotiator. “It’s creating a little bit of uncertainty in all of our levels of discussion now – Kitselas and Kitsumkalum negotia-tions, it’s certainly a factor for Metlakatla negotiations. B.C. has clearly identified LNG as their primary objective right now … and it’s interfering, I feel, with our treaty negotiations.”

Kitselas and Kitsumkalum negotiators signed off on agree-ments in principle (AIP) nearly two years ago in January of 2013. By the spring, both AIPs were approved by Kitselas and Kitsumkalum members, with the understanding B.C. and Canada would soon follow.

Earlier this year, the province indicated it had approved the AIP and was ready for an official signing ceremony whenever the federal government was, but the federal gov-ernment has not yet made an official commitment to a formal signing, with a statement from the federal aboriginal affairs ministry indicating the AIPs are still under review.

“It’s been very frustrating for those two communities,” said Wesley of events so far.

He said the Kitselas and Kitsumkalum had hoped the province would move on officially signing off on the AIP ahead of the federal government, putting pressure on the fed-eral government to follow. But the provincial government backed away from that suggestion, said Wesley.

WITH A full audience of invited guests and a � ourish of music, the new mayor of Terrace and city council were sworn in at the city council chambers the evening of Dec. 1.

Led by two RCMP of� cers in red serge, Carol Leclerc, wearing the mayor’s emblem of of� ce, gave the invited guests spilling into the hall, including Terrace RCMP inspector Dana

Hart and � re chief John Klie, a low-� ve as she walked past them into the chambers followed by council members.

They marched in to the tune of Pomp and Circumstance, often played at graduations.

Major Warrick Pil-grim of the local Sal-vation Army gave an opening prayer and then chief city administrative of� cer Heather Avison set about to swear in

Leclerc at the podium.Leclerc asked city

freeman Bill McRae, sitting in the front row with his wife Helene, to join her as she read her oath and signed in.

Avison then swore in the councillors, start-ing with the incumbents Lynn Christiansen, Brian Downie, James Cordeiro and Stacey Tyers and then the new council members, Sean Bujtas and Michael Pre-

vost. After she was sworn

in and sat down, Lynne Christiansen and Stacey Tyers shared a high � ve.

Leclerc, Christian-sen, Downie and Buj-tas swore on the Bible; Cordeiro, Tyers and Prevost chose to af� rm instead. After everyone

was sworn in, Leclerc invited the guests to stay to mingle.

The new council will serve four years, an in-crease over previous terms of of� ce of three years. The new mayor and council met for the � rst time earlier this week.

Portions of the prop-erty have since been sold off and the city has now drawn up a concept plan to convert a portion of the property into a mixture of housing and commercial develop-ment.

Talstra-led city coun-cils spent years working at various plans for ei-ther a brand new mul-tiplex or addition to the civic arena. That even-tually culminated in a second sheet of ice and other improvements to the existing arena build-ing with a grand open-ing taking place in No-vember 2008.

In addition to the lo-cal economy and city works, Talstra was also a strong advocate for re-gional governance con-nections. At one point, he advocated for the creation of a coalition of local municipal and aboriginal governments along the Skeena River aiming for consensus agreements on resource use and other issues.

An early champion of what is now the Northwest Transmis-sion Line, Talstra and then-city councillor Rich McDaniel trav-elled to Alaska in 2006 to take part in a confer-ence exploring the idea of connecting southeast Alaska to B.C.’s energy grid.

Speaking at the con-ference were officials from the BC Transmis-sion Corporation, now part of BC Hydro.

Talstra later com-mented that he had to go to Alaska to find out what a provincial crown corporation was up to.

Following his elec-tion loss to Dave Per-narowski in the No-vember 2008 municipal elections, Talstra did keep his hand in vari-ous matters. He was chair and president of the Skeena Nass Cen-tre for Innovation in Resource Economics, a Terrace-based non-profit think-tank which explored ways of devel-oping a regional natural resource economy not

subject to traditional boom and bust cycles.

Talstra was named a Freeman of the City in a ceremony held at city hall Nov. 24, one of just four people to receive that recognition over the years. Pernarowski, who officiated at the Freeman ceremony, said “Jack Talstra showed outstanding community leadership during his long service as alder-man and mayor.”

Illness had prevented Talstra from attending either ceremony but he was represented at both by family members.

Current Terrace mayor Carol Leclerc, first elected as a city councillor during Tal-stra’s years as mayor,

said the city lost a great person and leader. “He was a strategizer. He was like a chess player, always several moves ahead of where we were going. He was a great statesperson.”

Of Dutch family ori-gin, Talstra was born in 1946 in Holland. His family moved to Can-ada shortly thereafter, first to Houston and Telkwa before com-ing to Terrace in 1953 where they ran a farm in what is now known as the horseshoe residen-tial area. After receiving a law degree from UBC and then articling in Terrace, Talstra estab-lished his own law firm, Talstra and Company.

His years as mayor were preceded by a council position from 1976 to 1981. In the federal election of 1980, Talstra ran as the Liberal candidate in the Skeena riding, losing to New Democrat Jim Fulton.

Talstra received a first civic honour in 2009 by being made a member of the Order of Terrace and he also re-ceived the 2012 Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal.

He leaves wife Hil-da, five children and eight grandchildren.

Campagnolo would later become B.C.’s Lieutenant-Governor. • Bottom photo, Gerry Martin, Talstra, then-Liberal MLA Roger Harris, John Ryan and Mo Takhar celebrate the purchase by the locally-owned Terrace Lumber Company of the closed Skeena Cellulose sawmill here in May 2005.

Tributes“I WAS very saddened to learn of the passing of former Terrace mayor Jack Talstra. Terrace lost a great man, who served his hometown for 23 years. Under his watch, Ter-race weathered both good and bad economic times, thanks in part to Jack’s commitment to respecting the taxpayer and finding savings. My thoughts and prayers are with his fam-ily, and everyone in the community left with heavy hearts after Jack’s passing.”

CHRISTY CLARK, Premier, Province of B.C.

“HE WAS a strategizer. He was like a chess player, always several moves ahead of where we were going. He was a great statesperson. Jack was a true leader whose legacy will live on for generations, He believed in Terrace and the goodness of its people, and always worked in the best inter-ests of the community. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family at this time.”

CAROL LECLERC, Mayor, City of Terrace

“HE WAS an incredibly consistent and strong advocate through the good times and bad for Terrace and had a real vision for things. I think a lot of that is being realized now, so his legacy and his impact on Terrace and the en-tire northwest will live on. We came from different politi-cal backgrounds but he was always incredibly cordial and a mayor in the best sense of the word where if we could do things to help his town then he was always willing to work and talk. It was a good kind of politics, always civil with a focus on what we are here to do, so I always appreciated his council and we always got along really well.”

NATHAN CULLEN, Member of Parliament, Skeena - Bulkley Valley

“JACK TALSTRA was not only a close personal friend, he was also a colleague and an ally in the many projects we worked on together over the years. I have enormous respect for his dedication to fairness and his belief that all citizens in the area should experience progress together. His most memorable contribution to collaborative development is demonstrated in the agreement between Kitselas and the City of Terrace on the airport industrial park development. Jack Talstra will be remembered by the people of Kitselas as a friend, an ally, a supporter, and a respected leader.”

MEL BEVAN, Negotiator, Kitselas First Nation

“JACK TALSTRA showed outstanding community leader-ship during his long service as Alderman and Mayor. His commitment to the City of Terrace and the region has been unparalleled. My thoughts and prayers are with the Talstra family.”

DAVE PERNAROWSKI, Former Mayor, City of Terrace

“I AM deeply saddened by the death of our longtime Mayor of the City of Terrace, Jack Talstra. It is rare for anyone to dedicate over 20 years of their life to serving the commu-nity they live in, the way Jack did. He was always gracious and deferential in all his dealings, even with those whom he disagreed with. I hope that his example will help us to move to a more open and respectful dialogue in all our public discourse. Both Colleen and I would like to send our con-dolences to his wife Hilda and to Jack’s family at this very sad time.”

NEXT time you are out and about, pay close attention to what the driv-ers in the other vehicles are doing.

Chances are you are going to see drivers speaking on cellphones and texting – some even doing so while turning corners and changing lanes, seemingly oblivious to the world around them.

It’s a dangerous habit with recent statistics indicating just under 90 people are killed each year from dis-tracted driving not to mention rising insurance claims from rear-end col-lisions and the like.

In addition to the standard � ne of $167, the provincial government this fall announced drivers caught while using cellphones will also end up with three demerit points.

Fines and demerit points are only effective as deterrents when there is vigorous enforcement on hand as a follow through and with police forc-es increasingly occupied as front line social workers dealing with the vari-ous outcomes of alcohol abuse and mental illness it’s dif� cult to � nd suf� cient police time for a concerted distracted driving campaign.

But if there is an incentive to save lives by cracking down on distracted driving there’s also a � nancial in-centive because the province returns a portion of traf� c � nes to munici-palities.

In Terrace, that amounted to just under $100,000 last year. Boosting that total by more � nes would pro-vide even a modest bene� t to the city budget.

CLAUDETTE SANDECKI

EDITORIALA6 www.terracestandard.com OPINION Wednesday, December 10, 2014 Terrace Standard

My extended family has in-cluded many � ne cooks

noted for their sumptu-ous holiday dinners. I was never one of them. Yet my shortcomings in the kitchen never worried me. I am con-tent to be a kitchen dropout, ranked with Roseanne Barr and Deborah Ramone. Why else were ketchup, mustard and pickles invented if not to mask our mediocre cooking?

Each renowned family cook is known for a special-ty dish. Mom, an excellent all round cook whose pork chops and sour cream tarts vividly inhabit my gustatory memory bank, stood out for her Swedish rye bread baked in shallow discs each with a hole in the centre punched by a cow’s horn. As a girl in Sweden, Mom watched her mother store the cooled cakes on a broom handle run through the holes. Even today, given a choice be-tween any dessert and a fresh wedge of Mom’s rye bread smoothed with butter, I’d reach for her bread.

One aunt was unrivaled for her turkey gravies, and lemon meringue pie, my Dad’s favourite of all des-

serts. As a teenager with an almost limitless appetite for between meal snacks, the difference between Aunty’s lemon meringue and Mom’s was too subtle for me to dis-cern, though it was a chasm that haunted Mom; she nev-er served lemon pie when Aunty visited.

Recently I was struck by how much importance some women place on their status as skilled cooks and how wounded they can be when their cooking is turned aside in favour of a younger per-son’s.

In a group counselling ses-sion attended by women of various ages up into the 80s,

the counsellor asked what additional stresses they face before holiday get-togethers such as at Christmas. Their answers show how some-thing as simple as relinquish-ing major meal preparations to the younger generation leaves some grandmothers feeling slighted.

“I � nd it hard to accept that my daughter is now pre-paring the Christmas dinner at her house and I’m expect-ed to just show up and not contribute anything to the meal,” said one.

Another elderly woman said, “When I go to my daughter-in-law’s for fam-ily dinners she doesn’t want my help in her kitchen. I feel useless. Sometimes I wonder if I should go out and shovel snow?”

Fighting to maintain old rituals is wearing. Accept-ing my place in the cook-ing hierarchy spares me a lot of angst. Far from trying to outdo younger cooks, I willingly let them take over, while I cautiously dish out deserved compliments. If I were to be too effusive, they might misinterpret my praise as sarcasm.

inevitably result in a variety of leftovers that must be re-frigerated. Many of us older folk have downsized our fridges since our kids left home and set up their own households often with bigger fridges, and freezers.

Besides the variety of leftovers that clog a fridge, older folk have far fewer resident munchers eager to nibble away meats or des-serts. Younger folk ordinarily have more drop-in visitors; a range of leftovers is per-fect for feeding impromptu company. No matter how delicious a meal might have been, I prefer not to serve myself the same menu every day for a week like the movie Groundhog Day.

Adjusting from being the main cook to a pampered guest is easier to accept if you think back to past holi-days when you were the main cook and hostess, on your feet for hours prepping and cooking everything.

Where once you rushed to whisk the gravy and load a platter with turkey and stuff-ing as guests stomped snow from their feet, now you can relax and let grandchildren show you all the fun stuff Santa brought them.

Enjoy yourself while others cook

When all else fails, talk about the weather

Terrace Standard Wednesday, December 10, 2014 VIEWPOINTS www.terracestandard.com A7

For a change of pace for this space, this column focuses on what we can expect in terms of the

weather as forecast by the Old Farmer’s Almanac.

Last month, Jack Frost nipped at our noses with a couple of brilliantly sunny, sub-zero spells followed by last week’s first mea-surable snowfall.

Is that a warning of what’s to come when winter gets serious? The ancient agrarian says not really. The rest of this month is supposed to be a bit warmer than usual with about average precipi-tation. That translates into a back and forth between showers and flurries/light snow with a chance of real snow late in the month.

The question is will it come in time to give us a white Christ-mas?

January will be pretty aver-age in terms of temperatures and precipitation and start out more wet than white. Cooler weather

in week two will bring enough snow to put a smile on the faces of cross-country and downhill skiers/boarders.

But it then warms up, bringing a mix of snow and rain which will last the rest of the month.

February will open mild and sunny but week two will see mainly rain. Expect a sharp cold snap in week three but then the clouds will move back in, again giving us a mix of white and wet for the rest of the month.

Old Man Winter has one last kick at the can in March with cool temperatures prevailing and sun-ny weather at the beginning and end of the month bookending two weeks of rain or snow.

(My spirits are lifted by the thought that, if the forecast is right, there won’t be many oppor-tunities for the city to fill in my driveway.)

It looks like Spring is going to be a bit late next year as cool tem-peratures continue to dominate in

April. On the upside, we should see a fair bit of sunshine between the showers.

May opens with cool, show-ery weather but sunny and warm conditions take hold in week two. Then it is back to cool and show-ery before sunny and very warm weather closes out the month –

good news for gardeners.June won’t be able to make up

its mind as it alternates between cool and showery and sunny and warm. The upside is overall tem-peratures will be above, and pre-cipitation below, normal.

The next big question is whether, after two excellent sum-mers, will we see the hat trick?

The Old Farmer says July will open sunny and warm and tem-peratures will continue to climb through week two with only a few showers. It then cools off and gets damper but the final week sees a return to sunny, warm weather.

Unfortunately, August will not be able to quite match that run. After a showery opening, which might put a damper on Riverboat Days, we will see sunny “nice” conditions to mid-month then it’s back to cool, showery weather and, after a few sunny days, rain to close it out.

Fall arrives in September with showers and then gets wetter

through the rest of the first half. But it will brighten up and be mild for most of the rest of the month.

To finish off the forecast, we are promised a not bad October after a wet start as it then alter-nates between sunny/cool and mild with showers.

And there you have it.Now it’s time to get out my

seed catalogues.Footnote: I noticed that coun-

cil is thinking of banning the let-ting off of fireworks to just one night a year, Halloween.

While I understand the logic behind the move, might I suggest they add a couple of more dates.

Guy Fawkes for example – as in Remember, remember the fifth of November – an occasion marked by Brit ex-pats and New-fies. And what about New Year’s Eve?

Retired Kitimat Northern Sen-tinel editor Malcolm Baxter now lives in Terrace.

MID-NOVEMBER PHOTO shows some of the clearing work that has started for the Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine’s landfill project at Forceman Ridge, south of Lakelse Lake. This is just down the side road from Onion Lake.

Landfill project still questionedAn open letter to:

The chair and board,Kitimat-Stikine Regional District,Terrace, B.C.

Dear Sirs:Residents Advocating for

a Safe Inclusive Environment (RAfaSIE), held a meeting Nov. 13 to review the recent information presented in a

workshop to the regional dis-trict board and public. We have identified gaps in the new con-sulting and design work com-pleted for the proposed Force-man Ridge Landfill/Thornhill Transfer Station.

The information presented on Nov. 1, 2014 reveals that some of the public concerns brought forward in the past have been addressed. We thank you for responding to public

concern. However, there re-main a few more issues that we would ask that your team ex-amine in their plans to manage waste here in the Terrace area.

Please consider the follow-ing, as you work towards so-lutions for future landfill and waste management in regional district Areas E and C:

1. The current proposal does not allow for storm water, long periods of precipitation,

and overflow concerns in your waste containment liner.

Not addressing this will re-sult in effluent into the ground and waterways, (as has oc-curred at Prince Rupert’s new landfill) and is not acceptable to the public.

How will this be dealt with? 2. The current proposal is

cost prohibitive.

Dear Sir:Although the present provincial government had

all the necessary knowledge required to prevent the Mt. Polley environmental disaster from ever hap-pening, Imperial Metals, along with the govern-ment, avoided their adult responsibilities and con-sciences.

In essence, their cutbacks in mine investigations also said “too bad, so sad” for the First Nations along with residents and their property values, em-ployees, businesses, plant life, lake, creek and wild life and as always, we the taxpayers.

I do not call this working “in the public interest.” I call this working “in the corporate interest.”

And now the provincial government proposes to overhaul the BC Society Act and spend their time using millions of our tax dollars, looking into 27,000 B.C. registered societies who may or may not be working “in the public interest,” which is not defined.

Included in the societies are environmental groups, which I have found to be working “in the public interest” to halt further climate change. It is well known, that the U.N. and climate scientists around the world deem it urgent to halt the rapid increase in fossil fuel use if this planet is to have a future which includes mankind. The amendments proposed by the provincial government to the BC Societies Act could be used to harass small groups that have very little funding and no lawyers. I see this move by the province as “working for corpo-rate interests” and, as always, using our tax dollars.

Mark Carney, once Governor of the Bank of Canada, now Governor of the Bank of England, told a group of investors, “The vast majority of fossil fuel reserves are unburnable.” He spoke of a “tragedy of horizons” which can be described by the U.S. Secretary of State in a Pentagon report as climate change having the ability to “devastate homes, land and infrastructure.”

No needfor despair

And it “may exacerbate water scarcity and lead to sharp increases in food costs.” Desperate people, water and food short-ages, along with flooding, drought and fire could lead to terrorist activity as the social tensions grow.

I call these warnings to be “in the public interest...

Our provincial debt is $68 billion. The present provincial government will owe the LNG industry gas producers well over a billion dollars in credits by year-end while our public services continue to deteriorate.

I do not call this working “in the public interest” and I am losing my patience as a taxpayer with paying the bills for the fossil fuel industry.

Our federal government gives the fossil fuel industry well over $20 billion in tax exemptions yearly. The jobs are special-ized, we won’t be getting them and we will be buying the jobs we do get locally through our tax money. Exactly how is this “in the public interest”?

What is the next perverse move this government and the federal government will be making “in the corporate interest?”

If our provincial and federal govern-ments were not working “in the corporate interest” of the fossil fuel industries, we could be well underway with geothermal

energy.B.C. alone has 170 hot springs and ac-

cording to the experts, “lots of low hang-ing fruit” which we could begin to develop inexpensively. Compare that with the $8 to $15 billion for site C which many experts say “we do not need.”

How about jobs in retrofitting homes? How about solar and wind energy? Nor-way and Germany are so far ahead of us we look pathetic and they are not suffering folks!! We deserve to have our tax dollars working toward “the public interest.”

Now is not the time for despair. Don’t allow yourself to be disinterested in your future.

Take action, however small it may be. Find a petition to Help Save Our North Coast From Bulk Oil Tankers and sign it.

Talk about it with friends and ask them to keep the jobs here in Canada. Tell them the Hecate Strait is the 4th most dangerous body of water in the world.

Each act will lend a hand toward the goal of helping our families have a future. Protect the fragility of the earth. Think what is right here. And work “in the public interest,” knowing most of your fellow citi-zens are with you!

Mary Ann Shannon,Terrace, B.C.

Landfill problemsTransport and double

handling of product to go to the Forceman Landfill site increases labour, main-tenance, fuel costs and handling costs. This over-burdens the taxpayers and is not fiscally responsible. Will you consider revisiting the Thornhill site, (which is planned to remain open any-ways) as the site of choice? If not, why not?

3. The current proposal does not address many large volume waste items such as house renovation material, commercial or residential building materials, demoli-tion waste and numerous types of commercial waste. If this is not addressed, where will this go? What is the plan for this waste prod-uct?

4. The current proposal does not address furniture and ongoing large house-hold items (like mattresses) and as such encourages il-legal dumping. Where will

this go? What is the plan for this waste product?

5. The current propos-al does not consider the growth of agriculture in the area and subsequent waste that will occur as a result, such as avian and bovine carcasses and potential her-bicides and/or pesticides.

Where do the 50,000 chickens (who yearly retire) at Daybreak farms go? If this is not addressed, where will these go? What is the plan for this waste product?

6. The current proposal does not have a solution for the disposal of medical waste or biohazard waste. If this is not addressed, where will these go? What is the plan for this waste product?

7. The current proposal identifies an organic ele-ment. Will this include a pick of organic waste to all households and will that mean an increase in cost to the taxpayer?

As organics make up a

large percentage of waste, we are pleased to see pro-posed plans to generate soil from this product, but with that in mind it would seem appropriate to initialize this plan at the outset.

Why is curbside begin-ning without collection of organics? If this is not ad-dressed, where will this go?

8. The current proposal will collect cardboard and paper at the transfer site and ship out. Why is cardboard and paper not shredded and added to organics to make a better blend for future soil use? Reuse of paper prod-ucts is cost effective, why are we not building a value added industry locally to capture that resource? What is the plan for this waste product?

■ She turns 93BETTY CAMPBELL, centre, celebrates her 93rd birthday with friends and family at Terraceview Lodge Nov. 30. With her are former Mills Memorial Hospital co-workers Eleanor O’Boyle, left, and Nora Gines. “We say God bless and more good days to our dear friend Betty,” said Yvonne Moen, local historian and friend.

THANKS TO the over-whelming generosity of individuals and orga-nizations, the Terrace Churches Food Bank has such a large surplus that it will be open an extra day this month.

On Dec. 20, the food bank will be open for its regular clients from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. to help give away the extra food.

Several young peo-ple are expected to come in to help prepare the extra bags of food to give out .

The food bank has had extra food on hand before but never stacked so high against the wall, said president John Wiebenga.

And as an extra bo-nus, clients will not be interviewed that day


TERRACE CHURCHES Food Bank president John Wiebenga and volunteer Norm MacFarland show off part of the stockpile of donations, the largest amount of extra items its had on hand.

Plenty of extra donations prompt special food bank day

Showing compassion in actionA NEW not-for-profit seeks to help individuals and their families with needed finances that arise with someone gets seriously ill.

Kimmunity Angels Society asks others to “show compassion with action, give to your community” with the mission “to promote quality of life for seri-ously ill individuals and their families by providing financial assistance for medical treatment, medical expenses and equipment or supplies.”

And the money stays in the community here.Started this fall by Donna Slavik, the society

is named in honour of her friend of more than 25 years, Kim Kaye, who’s battling brain cancer, and who inspired Slavik with what she’s gone through while being ill and how inspiring the community was in helping her out.

Several fundraisers were organized for her and Slavik discovered that Kaye wasn’t alone with her financial troubles.

“People would come up and share their stories,” said Slavik. “I was really astounded that it’s not un-common. That’s where I came up with the idea of let’s start a society and here we are.”

When you’re in Vancouver or Kelowna for six weeks of medical treatment, it’s pretty hard on the bank account when you’re not working, have no benefits and you’re living off what you have, she added. If people need money for a flight, can’t pay their rent, need a wheelchair or whatever their need is, that’s what the money will be used for, she said.

To kick off the fundraising, the society has or-ganized a scavenger hunt that’s not a typical one.

“I’ll give you a hint: one of the clues is to find a uniformed RCMP officer and sing a Christmas carol [to that officer],” said Slavik. “Just fun things like that, and stuff to make you laugh and have fun.”

It’s for everyone: families and groups of friends who want to put together a team with a maximum of five people or individuals who want to scavenge on their own, and hopefully will become an annual event, she added.

Future fundraisers include comedian Ian Bagg, who was here last year, returning for a show and a Valentine’s masquerade ball.

And as for the society’s namesake, Kim Kaye, Slavik says she’s doing well.

“She’s got a good outlook and is appreciating and enjoying every day she’s got,” she said.

I have just returned from Oppo-site-Land, on the other side of the world, where the gravity is reversed and everyone walks on

their hands with their feet sticking up in the air. Okay, that part is not true.

What is true is that in OL they drive on the wrong side of the road. Because they ALL do this, it works out fine. Plus, their cars have steering wheels on the passenger side, so that makes it easier for them. Just remember, while in Opposite-Land, look RIGHT, not left, before stepping out on the curb or your North American accent will sound like this: “It’s okay, dear, all clear – AAAAAIIIGGGHHH! (thump, tinkle, crash).”

They also keep their moon in the wrong place. It is way high up over-head, hard to see from a hotel balcony, while ours is, reasonably, in the south-eastern skies, easy to see from my front porch.

Wearers of glasses, four-eyed types, know that in Regular Land, when you walk into a warm store or house or school from the cold outdoors, your lenses may fog up. In OL, you walk out of an air-conditioned mall or hotel into the outdoors (which is 27 – 35 degrees every day) and your lenses may fog up.

Did you know, in the city-state of Singapore, there are no jobs for weath-er broadcasters? The weather is the same every day, “High of 27 to 35, and it might rain, so bring your umbrella.” That’s it, 365 days a year. Actually, as a proud north-coaster, I feel disdain towards umbrellas. But in OL I started carrying an umbrella – to keep the sun

off. That’s right, fellow Terracites, in OL you carry a umbrella in case it does not rain.

Last summer, right here in River City, we suffered (or enjoyed) many days and even weeks of clear hot weather. But we knew it would cool off when the sun went down, and the next day would start cool in the morning. In OL, the source of heat, the Mighty Sun, disappears (every day at 7 pm) and yet, it does NOT get cooler. Sunny and hot, then dark and still hot. And first thing in the morning, when the sun re-appears (every day at 7 am) it is the hottest it will be. It might cool down at 4 or 5 pm for an hour or two with a gentle breeze. That’s what you get for living on the equator, people! A soft, cool wind at cocktail hour beside the pool.

Here in our fair city we might sit at a table on a cool evening and enjoy a patio heater warming the throngs. In OL, the throngs (and they throng well over there!) are cooled by giant gas-pers. Okay, so in a small plane holding 37 to 50 people, while you are waiting to take off to go to/from Vancouver or anywhere, and they don’t have all the aircraft’s systems going, you can reach up from your seat and turn on a reading light or call the flight attendant or turn the gasper on for cold air right in your face. Our cool-air gaspers are about an inch across and are found on aircraft, one per seat. Their cool-air gaspers are a foot across and aligned in 3 X 3 patterns in open-air markets and town squares.

On Hallowe’en, hubby and I went to Clark’s Quay, as did other middle-aged tourists, families with small chil-dren in strollers, teenagers wearing tiny flashing lights, 20-somethings rid-ing one-wheeled skateboards, and the rest of the population. We thronged to a central point where a band was play-ing and I stopped as soon as the gaspers hit me. What to wear on Hallowe’en in Singapore? A witch’s hat or devil horns – it is far too hot to be a Storm Trooper or The Hulk.

Finally, when we here have signs showing drivers to go around a bar-rier, we have Y-shaped pointy-up ar-rows, to drive UP this way left or UP this way right. In OL, the same road sign advises drivers to go DOWN this way left or DOWN this way right. Oh – it might have to do with that gravity thing.

A ROOM full of familiar faces attended the swear-ing in ceremony for the 2014-2018 board of Coast Mountains School District trustees Dec. 2.

And the majority of the school trustees faces were also familiar, as four of the seven trustees were returning.

Art Erasmus, school board chair during the last term, and Roger Leclerc, the vice chair during the last term, were sworn in as Terrace trustees, with Gary Turner sworn in as Thornhill’s representative. All three were returned by acclamation as trustees in the fall.

Raymond Raj was sworn in as one of two Kiti-mat representatives, returning after his election vic-tory in November.

Margaret Warcup, the second Kitimat trustee to win a seat and a new face to the board, was also sworn in. She replaces Linda Campbell, who was on hand at the ceremony and received a fare-well gift and bouquet from the district, presented by Erasmus, who gave a short speech about how Campbell came on as trustee during a crucial time

in the district’s history and will be missed.And Shar McCrory was sworn in for Hazelton,

replacing Lynn Newbery, who travelled to Terrace for the swearing in.

Angela Brand Danuser of Stewart was sworn in, she was elected by acclamation and replaces Shan-non McFee, who sent her regrets but could not at-tend the ceremony.

Secretary treasurer Alanna Cameron acted as moderator for the swearing in, following a short introduction by school superintendent Katherine McIntosh.

District officials, including mayor Carol Leclerc who is the district’s trades coordinator, were also on hand for the ceremony and reception that fol-lowed.

School trustees held an inaugural meeting Dec. 8 to choose a chair, vice chair and committee as-signments.

A regular meeting follows on Dec. 17.

Low earners facerental problemsBy ANNA KILLEN

EVEN BEFORE rents began to climb and the number of places to rent de-clined because of the busier regional economy, low-income earning ten-ants here faced problems, according to a new rental housing index website produced by a provincial non-profit housing agency

The website, which includes an in-teractive map showing rental data for each community and rankings based on a number of factors, is based on 2011 census data. It shows that at that time, shelter costs were already consuming much of what low-income earners took in.

According to the website, 63 per cent of renter households earning less than $18,163 spend more than half of their income on rent and utilities, and in order for those households to make their current rental situation afford-able (so that they’re paying 30 per cent of before-tax income on shelter costs, the agreed upon ‘affordability’ standard) would need an average of $12,836 more per year to make their current situation affordable.

James Roy from the BC Non-Prof-it Housing Association (BCNPHA) acknowledged that the statistics are several years old, and therefore do not show an up-to-date picture of the challenges facing renters here right now. But they do provide a bench-mark for future study.

“We know that the north, especial-

ly the northwest, has entered the crisis relatively recently, so this wouldn’t even show the full dimension of it,” said Roy. “You have problems with rental housing (in the published in-dex) but I think it’s gotten much worse than 2011 – that’s what we’ve been hearing on the ground from our providers up there.”

The rental housing index puts Terrace in the same range as Kiti-mat and Prince Rupert, with all three northwest communities ranked in the ‘poor’ category – communities can be ranked as satisfactory, moderate, poor, severe, or critical.

“I’m very interested to see how Terrace, Kitimat, and Rupert will fare in 2016,” said Roy, referring to the next census and when new data will be available. “This is what it was like before ... one snapshot in time almost three-and-a-half years ago.” At that time, according to the index, average rent for a one bedroom unit was $570. A two-bedroom rental cost an average of $654 and a three-bedroom rental cost an average of $837 a month.

BCNPHA has said that the entire province is facing an “affordability crisis” and the northwest is no ex-ception. “A big, big factor in this is income,” said Roy, noting full-time minimum-wage employees make around $20,000 a year and one quar-ter of Terrace renter families make around $18,000 or less – a full 25 per cent. “A lot of this is poverty driving this.”

LNG holding up progress on local treatiesThe province noted

it had other issues and wanted all three parties to be ready at the same time, he added.

Meanwhile, LNG negotiations between the province and First Nations with or with-out treaties have further complicated discus-sions, in part because the province’s resources are spread thinner than be-fore, indicated Wesley.

“Their plate is prob-ably pretty full in that regard,” said Wesley, who also noted that Kit-selas and Kitsumkalum have asked that LNG negotiations and treaty negotiations stay sepa-rate.

For its part, the prov-ince believes “treaty ne-gotiations with Kitselas and Kitsumkalum are proceeding at a reason-able pace” and “remains committed to advancing treaty negotiations with Kitselas and Kitsum-kalum in partnership with Canada,” read a statement from aborigi-nal affairs minister John Rustad.

Rustad said that treaty negotiations with both are occurring sepa-rate from LNG nego-tiations, and that both streams of negotiations are “rooted in the com-mon goal of reconcilia-tion.”

Yet another factor impacting Kitselas and Kitsumkalum treaty negotiations is the over-lapping land claims is-sues the Gitxsan First Nation pushed in Au-gust, and have since been negotiating with the province.

“From our side, we continue to work and address overlap or boundary issues with Canada and B.C., at some point we antici-pate there’s going to be need for meetings with the Gitxsan and from both communities to see if we can come to any favourable solu-tion,” said Wesley.

“LNG is a factor as far as some of the de-mands,” he said. “As we understand it, other First Nations are mak-ing and using our treaty settlement lands or our AIP agreement as a tool against government.”

The ministry of ab-original affairs and reconciliation said that “specifics from treaty negotiation tables re-mains confidential” but that there is “potential

for the land package to change” as parties proceed toward a final agreement.

In an emailed state-ment, Aboriginal Af-fairs and Northern De-

velopment Canada said “the formal approval process is occurring” and “public information and consultation with First Nations asserting overlapping claims and

third parties will con-tinue throughout the process.”

The agreements are under review and the federal government will sign “once the three

parties agree to do so.”“Federal reviews of

the agreements are an important part of Cana-da’s due diligence in ar-riving at constitutional-ly protected agreements

that will stand the test of time. A precaution-ary approach to con-cluding Agreements in Principle is in the best interests of all parties ... The federal review

involves other federal departments and is an important interim step in ensuring Agreements in Principle that meets the best interests of all Canadians.”

LISIMS/NASS VAL-LEY RCMP are asking for the public’s help to further their investiga-tion into a suspected arson from this summer.

On August 14th, 2014 the Lisims/Nass Valley RCMP received a complaint of a mo-torhome that had been set on � re sometime overnight.

The motorhome, a white 1978 Tioga, was parked beside the river, approximately � ve ki-lometres down the Iski-neech Forest Service Road as the owner was � shing in the area but

had returned to Kitimat for work and was due back soon, said police.

If anyone has any in-formation regarding this suspicious � re, please contact the Lisims/Nass Valley RCMP at 250-633-2409 or if you wish to remain anonymous, contact Crime Stoppers at 1-888-222-8477.

Bonnie

A MAN escaped a cougar attack but lost his dog to the big cat at Lakelse Lake two weekends ago.

“He had been walk-ing [the chocolate Lab] in the picnic site there along the beach,” said conservation of� cer Gareth Scrivner of Brad Woollacott and Bonnie. “He turned around and saw four feet behind his dog, a full-sized cou-gar pretty much tailing them the whole way. He got pretty much half-way back to his vehicle and he couldn’t scare it off and it wasn’t re-ally showing any signs of fear. It took down his dog right in front of him, a full grown 10-year-old Lab.”

Scrivner subsequent-ly found the cougar feeding on the dog and put the big cat down.

The cougar was a full grown male, about four or � ve-years-old, very healthy, at 130 pounds, almost seven feet long from the tip of its tail to the nose. It hadn’t fed for a while so there was very little in its stom-ach, he said. A cougar normally hunts deer and mountain goats.

A NATIONAL char-ity has added a num-ber of northwestern B.C. schools, including three from Terrace and Thornhill, to a list of those offering breakfast programs financed di-rectly by corporations.

Rio Tinto Alcan had been paying for break-fasts at six northwest-ern schools and is now extending that to five more schools through a $250,000 three-year commitment.

And $100,000 from TransCanada Pipelines for four northwestern schools over three years means both corpora-tions will feed an esti-mated 1,000 students a year through the Break-fast Club of Canada.

Rio Tinto Alcan's two local schools are Skeena Middle School and Cassie Hall Elementary while Thornhill Primary is the local TransCanada breakfast school.

Representatives from the charity and the two companies were in town this week at the schools, helping school employ-ees serve up breakfasts.Money not only buys food but equipment such as toasters, grills and dishes and, for Thornhill Primary, a dishwasher.

R e p r e s e n t a t i v e s from both Rio Tinto Alcan and TransCanada Pipelines, which has been chosen to build two natural gas pipe-lines across the north, one to a planned LNG plant at Kitimat and one to another one in Prince Rupert, said it was im-portant for the compa-nies to be involved in

communities in which they are active.

Sandra Dube, the First Nations support worker at Skeena Mid-

dle School who single-handedly runs the pro-gram, says between 30 and 40 students a day have a breakfast consist-

ing of either French toast or pancakes, yogurt, ce-real, fruit and juice.

“I've been here seven years and at the start there was fruit roll-ups and fruit cups. We've been really making an effort to make it more nutritious,” she said.

Skeena principal Phil Barron esti-mated the breakfast program is used by approximately eight per cent of the school's 580 students.

Last year the breakfast program cost approximately $7,000, a � gure he expects will rise this year because of in� ation as well as increased de-mand.

“There's a social aspect to this as well. Having students eat together sets a tone. We want a positive school climate and this starts off the morning well,” said Barron.

The school also draws on mon-ey from the provincial government through the school district and pro� ts from canteen sales and gym rentals to � nance breakfast as well as lunches.

The Thornhill Primary break-fast program is expected to feed 30 students a day at an annual cost of $10,000 and principal Darlene Bragg-Hounsell said that number could rise depending upon the day.

It'll be the � rst time there is a breakfast program at Thornhill Pri-mary which had been offering muf-� ns and other goods at snack time paid for by the province through the

school district. “There is no stigma attached,” said Bragg-Hounsell. “This is for any student. What we re-ally want to do here is promote good nutrition.”

Ben Neumer, one of the Break-fast Club of Canada representatives in Terrace this week, said the charity acts as an ef� cient way for corpora-tions to � nance breakfast programs because it has an established system in place.

“Our goal is to really help students so they can have their � rst class on a full stomach,” he said.

Qualifying schools are chosen for their community's level of economic activity.

“Schools apply and we look at the communities of highest need,” said Neumer.

Corporations such as Rio Tinto Al-can and TransCanada can also direct their money toward speci� c schools.

In the northwest, the schools � -nanced through Rio Tinto Alcan are located in Vanderhoof, Southbank (which is on the south side of Fran-cois Lake south of Burns Lake), Burns Lake, Fort St. James, Granisle, Houston and Terrace.

Schools in Port Edward, Thorn-hill, Vanderhoof and Prince George have breakfast programs through the TransCanada Pipelines contribution.

Mine managers move inTHE COMPANY which wants to build a molybdenum mine at Kitsault on the north coast is moving senior managers into place as it anticipates receiving the majority of its fi-nancing from an inter-national banking con-sortium.

Avanti Mining has also changed its name to Alloycorp Mining Inc. to better reflect the company’s goal of pro-ducing molybdenum as a key steel alloy ingre-dient.

A newly hired health and safety manager is due to move here as is Luke Klemke who will be the general manager of the mine.

The company has also rented office space in Terrace and has hired local resident Christine Slanz as its community relations manager.

At the same time, the

company has hired en-gineer Peter Mah to be its new chief operating officer as of Jan. 2, re-placing Jeff Lowe who is retiring.

Speaking last week, company chief finan-cial officer Graham du Prez said Alloycorp had

anticipated approval by the banking consor-tium by now but a re-cent drop in the price of molybdenum has had some of the participat-ing banks are reworking their numbers.

“It’s quite a process to go through,” said du

Prez as the banks hone their final numbers based on a broad agree-ment reached earlier this year to provide just over US $600 million in financing toward the project which is to cost approximately Cana-dian $1 billion.

“Like any commod-ity, the price of mo-lybdenum goes up and down and the price is now down a bit,” he said.

Included in the bank-ing group is Export Development Canada, which is owned by the federal government and which provides financ-ing for companies ex-porting products.

Even if several of the banks ultimately de-cide not to participate, Alloycorp has plans to take that into account, du Prez said.

“We are ready for that but we don’t think that will happen,” he added.

For the moment, the low value of the Cana-dian dollar in relation to the American dol-lar makes exports from Canada more attractive, du Prez noted.

And he said the fi-nancial model for the project is based on a mid-range price of mo-lybdenum.

Alloycorp has al-ready lined up offtake agreements with Korean and German customers.

THE PROVINCIAL government says it’s working with the Nisga’a Nation on the development of four potential liquefied natural gas (LNG) plant sites on the north coast.

All four are either within Nisga’a Lands or are outside of Nisga’a Lands but owned in fee simple by the Nisga’a.

The Nisga’a began heavily promoting the four locations earlier this year and their viability in-creased this month when the Nisga’a announced they had a deal with a subsidiary of TransCanada Pipelines allowing a natural gas pipeline to cross through Nisga’a Lands on its way to a planned LNG plant at Prince Rupert.

A key part of that deal was the provision for some of that pipeline’s capacity to be used for a LNG plant in which the Nisga’a would be involved.

“The province is working with the Nisga’a re-garding the four land sites they have identified as potential LNG sites. Those negotiations and dis-cussions are ongoing,” said provincial aboriginal affairs minister John Rustad.

He said those discussions, which began at the request of the Nisga’a, are in the early stages and that nothing has been decided.

Promotional LNG material being distributed by the Nisga’a does indicate that one of the sites might require additional Crown land and that if so, the Nisga’a would collaborate with the province.

“At this point, it would be inappropriate to re-lease specific details of discussions between the province and the Nisga’a Nation,” said Rustad.

But he did say talks include “very early discus-sions” with LNG proponents.

Nisga’a Lisims Government president Mitch-ell Stevens has spoken of the importance of the four locations several times, saying that when the Nisga’a were negotiating for what became Nisga’a Lands, that access to the ocean was crucial.

And at late last month’s signing of a deal in which the province is to pay the Nisga’a up to $6 million to have the TransCanada subsidiary pipe-line cross Nisga’a Lands, Stevens stressed the need to add value to resources.

“We’re not interested in a pipe that comes from the northeast and brings raw resources to the coast,” Stevens said.

“What we are interested in is a pipe that gives us an opportunity to provide for an economic base for Nisga’a citizens. And these are the sites that were

identified, which we own in fee simple.”Stevens added that the provincial government’s

support was needed to “jump through the hurdles and hoops.”

Nisga’a promotional material regarding the four potential sites indicates some could be suitable for land-based LNG plants or floating ones. It also stresses the ability of the Nisga’a to deal with LNG proponents because of the clarity of governance that comes from its 2000 land claims agreement with the provincial and federal governments.

The material indicates it would be cheaper to ship gas through a pipeline to those four locations than to have to ship gas further south to Prince Ru-pert.

Surrounded by her loving family, Amy Johanna Kroeker entered heaven in the late afternoon of Oct. 28th, 2014 from the Rotary Hospice House in Prince George. Amy was born in Greendale, B.C. to Willy and Mary Wiens, the youngest of seven children. When Amy was two years old the family moved to Matsqui, B.C. It was during Amy’s grade eleven school year that she met her future husband John Kroeker. Af-ter a three year courtship they were married and spent fifty two amazing years together, mostly in the Terrace area. Amy was a loving, dedicated mother to their two children; Cynthia May, born in 1963 and Douglas John, born in 1966. Hospitality and generosity were Amy’s greatest gifts as she would open her home at a moments notice to both friend and stranger. Amy and John were the best of friends and loved to be together working, playing, or just hanging out. Amy was predeceased by her sister Mary and brother Alfred. She is survived by her husband John, daughter Cynthia May (Glen), son Douglas John (Deborah), eight grandchildren and three great grandchildren. A memorial service was held at the Terrace Evan-gelical Free Church on Nov.4th, 2014 to honor Amy and her God who she loved so dearly. A spe-cial note of thanks to the staff of the Prince George Rotary Hospice House for the loving care that they gave Amy during her final month.

CALEDONIA SENIOR boys basketball season started with two games at Smithers Second-ary Nov. 28.

In the first game, the Ker-modes were up against the Smithers Gryphons who were missing their two top players because they were at the boys volleyball provincials.

Kermodes controlled the whole game and coasted to a 75 - 31 victory.

Kermodes were led in scor-ing by Gabe Johnson with 28 points, Tristan Walker with 10, Mason Kroeker with 10 and Ryan Kunar with 10.

In the late game, the Ker-modes took on the Mount Eliza-beth Eagles from Kitimat.

Once again the Kermodes led from start to finish, cruising to a 70 - 27 victory.

Strong performances came from Tristan Walker and Gabe Johnson, each potting 17 points and Ryan Kunar with 14.

Last weekend, the Ker-modes were in Vanderhoof at the Nechako Valley Invitational tournament before returning home for their first home games of the season this weekend, Fri-day and Saturday, December 12 and 13.

Kermodes b-ball starts strong

Fab five finish for Cal at championships CALEDONIA’S SR. Girls vol-leyball team was “definitely in the running for the hardware” at this year’s provincial champi-onships, losing only twice – to the two teams who placed first and second – and finishing fifth overall.

That’s the best finish the team has seen at a provincial champi-onship, and a testament to the years of dedication the team has put forward since middle school.

“We definitely peaked at the right time,” said coach Carmen Didier in an email after the tour-nament. “Very proud of all the girls.”

Cal entered AAA Sr. Girls Provincials, held this year in Parksville, ranked eighth in the province after a successful sea-son that began at a tournament in Alberta the weekend school was back in session after the teacher labour dispute ended.

The first day of play saw Cal beat Clayton Heights and McRoberts in two straight sets a piece before falling to Timber-line in two, the first set a close 25-20 and the second 25-11.

Day two, Caledonia found College Heights’ number before getting knocked out of medal contention by the team who would go on to win provincials for the third year in a row, South Delta.

Caledonia then took on the hometeam, Ballenas, in two sets before taking on Dover in the 5th vs. 6th consolation fi-nal, which the team would win

in two straight sets to end the championship tournament on a high note.

Another high note: Cale-

donia’s Cassidy Kitchen was named on the First All-Star Team.

This marks the end of a suc-

cessful high school volleyball career for the majority of the girls – all but two are graduating this year.

The snow moaned under the tires of Mike’s truck as it came to a stop. We were wearing our waders in the cab. It was too cold to change

into them outside. Under those waders we wore wool in layers. On our heads we wore wool toques; on our hands, wool gloves knit by Icelandic women. Over our Cowichan wool sweaters we wore pintails, vests fashioned to fit the needs of British Columbian drift fishermen. Over the Pin-tails we wore raincoats, the kind that com-mercial fishermen wore as a shield against the wind.

The snow wouldn’t hold us. We laced on our snow shoes, Mike shouldered a Trapper Nelson that among the other things winter demanded, contained envelopes for scales, tags, and a tagging gun, to mark steelhead for the Fish and Wildlife Branch.

I carried my Fenwick armed with a Hardy Silex. Mike had one of his beloved Ambassdeur level winds affixed to a rod he’d built.

We tramped to the first fork on the old skid trail. Mike stopped. Not to wait, but to think.

We should fish the pool upstream of the canyon, he said. It’s early. We have time.

On short winter days, it’s important to watch the time. We took the upper fork. This meant a long tramp down a steep slope, a long slog back followed by anoth-er steep trek to the downstream side of the canyon and back, but endurance wasn’t a

big issue back then. We descended the

switchback to the river, I licked the ice off the underside of my mous-tache. As we neared the valley bottom, the wind weakened. When we reached the river, we were outside its grasp. Before us was one of those wide, boulder-filled glides that Kit-sumkalum River steel-head like. We’d fished there more than a few times over the winter months and had yet to see a boot track in the snow. As far as we knew it had no name.

Gene Llewellyn had told Mike of the good fishing to be had downstream of the small canyon that squeezed the river a kilome-tre upstream of the Kalum’s big canyon. Gene called the smaller structure the Mini Canyon, but he never mentioned the glide above the Mini Canyon we were about to fish. Only Noel Gyger drifted the river then, but he took out far upstream above the Leanto Creek confluence, so there was a good chance that we were the only sports fishers fishing that piece of water in those years.

I started in as Mike threaded a chunk of bait on his hook. He liked roe because missed fish would return to it. I didn’t like the stuff be-cause it required chang-ing often and I didn’t need another chore that required exposing my hands to the elements. Instead, I used a small opaque pink plastic egg cluster know as the Japanese Gooey, which had a magic attraction for steelhead. When the weather was really cold, Mike hooked more steel-head than I. When it was mild, my Gooey Bob did as well, and sometimes better, than his goo.

As good as it looked, the run had never yielded many fish. Mike brought a small male to the beach in short order. It was one of those football shaped fish with a faint greenish glow that are unique to the Kalum. Mike tossed his gloves on the snow, stuck his hands into the icy water and grabbed its tail. He reached into his Pintail and took a pair of needle nosed pliers, then plucked a few scales from the fish’s back and placed them carefully on the sleeve of his wool shirt. I was standing beside him by this

time to hand him the tagging gun. He took it and adroitly punched a a spaghetti tag into the back of the fish just aft of its dorsal then pushed it into the flow. That done, he filled found a small pencil and wrote the date and the sex of the fish on the envelope.

We fished until lunch without a take. As we did, I noticed Mike kept looking at the far side as if something was there.

One more pass, he said after we’d chased our sandwiches with the last gulps of coffee.

We started in again, Mike first this time. He continued to eyeball the far shore.

There must be fish over there, he said.Always looks better on the far side, I

said perfunctorily.There can’t be just one fish in this run,

said Mike as if he hadn’t heard me and was thinking out loud.

He made a cursory cast. As I reeled in, I watched the orange top of Mike’s balsa wood float drift downstream then watched the plume as it cut through the water on the retrieve. I cast again. Mike lifted hook, line, float, and shot from the water, tore off the depleted roe and slipped his hook into the guide nearest the handle of his rod. We were only a short way through the run. I re-alized what my buddy was contemplating.

You’re not going to make the wade? I asked incredulously.

By the time I’d completed the sentence Mike had pushed off into the flow.

Continued next week…

Travels with Mike VI

THE TERRACE Bluebacks took a team of six young, but energetic, athletes to the first meet of the year in Prince George at the end of last month.

The meet was much smaller than usual, with approximately 200 athletes compared to the normal 300, said Terrace Blueback coach Mike Christensen in an email.

The lower numbers, both for the Bluebacks and the overall meet, were partially due to the late start in training with pool renovations as

well as the cancellation of the first meet of the year in Prince Rupert, where the pool was also shut down longer than expected.

In fact, the Points North Team missed the entire Prince Rupert Team which decided to forgo the Prince George meet in favour of crucial training time lost due to their own pool shut down. This left Smithers, Kitimat, and Terrace to fly the flag with just over 40 athletes.

In Prince George, Points North continued

its domination of the 10 and under relay team with an inspired "come from behind" win in the 200 medley relay, anchored by Bluebacks athlete Juliet Lukasser.

That win was followed up with another win in the 200 Freestyle Relay with another strong swim by Lukasser.

Jade Heathfield, now moved into the 12-13 group, assisted the Points North relays that finished 1st in the 200 Free and 2nd in the 200 Medley. And Jake Kluss had to swim up an

age category in the boys relays but showed he fit right in as they swam to 2nd in both the Free and Medley Relays.

Individual Results: 10 & Under 25 Fly girls: 1st Juliet Lukasser; 10 & Under 25 Fly boys: 2nd Jake Kluss; 11-year-old girls 50 Back: 1st Mackenzie Bannister.

100 per cent Best Times: Mackenzie Ban-nister, Grace Lukasser, Jake Kluss; 95% Best Times: Jade Heathfield, Caelyn Christensen, Juliet Lukasser.

Safety Tip:On average, there are almost double the crashes resulting in injury or fatality in B.C. due to driving too fast for conditions in December. In poor conditions, slow down, increase your following distance and give

yourself plenty of time to get to your destination.

New Year’s Resolution: Hot rides and buys for 2015Here are what I consider to be five important cars for 2015.

Mazda MX-5Over the last few years Mazda has been introducing vehicles with its new Skyactiv technology but there is one car that will signify the culmination of all the things Mazda does well, the next generation MX-5 (Miata). The MX-5 will come in 2015 as a 2016 model and all eyes are on Mazda to see what it can deliver. The bodywork is more dramatic and having seen it in person, the dimensions look fanatic but the new front grille might take a while to adapt too. The two-seat cockpit is roomier, thanks to a wider body and longer wheelbase but the overall length is 105mm shorter and 20mm lower. The 2.0L Skyactiv direct injection 4-cylinder will power this lightweight car and power will go to the rear wheels though a 6-speed manual transmission. Engine output has not been announced, neither has the price, but expect the car to be competitive with the 2015 model on price.

Ford ExplorerThe sixth generation Ford Explorer will arrive in 2015 as a 2016 model, now with new 2.3L EcoBoost engine available on the base and XLT trim. This replaces the older 2.0L Ecoboost and provides a 270hp, a 13 per cent bump over the last version. The 290hp 3.5L V6 is carried over but the Sport trim and new Platinum trim will be fitted with the 365hp Ecoboost V6. Ford claims that styling is the number one purchase consideration so the shape was retained but new grille and LED headlamps help refresh the look.

This sixth generation Explorer marks the 25th anni-versary of the iconic SUV, with over 350,000 sold in Canada so far.

2015 Jeep RenegadeThere is no question that the merger of Fiat and Chrysler has helped to introduce many new vehicles. The small car segment is a perfect example; the Fiat

500 and its variations has been a plus for Chrysler’s bottom line. Built in Europe on the Fiat 500L platform, this smaller Jeep Renegade replaces the Compass and Patriot models. Powered by either a 160hp, 1.4L turbocharged 4-cylinder or a larger 184hp, 2.4L 4-cylinder, Jeep claims that this compact crossover is still a capable vehicle because of two available all-wheel-drive (AWD) systems.

The standard models will be available with front-wheel-drive (FWD), with either a 6-speed manual or 9-speed automatic transmission. Styling is all-American; the signature Jeep grille is mar-ried perfectly into the boxy design, as too are other Jeep styling cues. The interior is has a rugged, yet upscale design that features all of Jeep’s latest technology, including the award winning Uconnect infotainment system. Pricing has not been announced but expect it shortly as it is due at dealerships very soon.

Honda HR-VComing in 2015 is another SUV, smaller than the CR-V, helping to define the new subcompact SUV market. This little runabout is built off the excellent Honda Fit platform and will include many of the features that make that car a standout. The first is the interior of the HR-V. It will also feature Honda’s Magic Seats that flip

and fold for amazing versatility. The same 1.8L 4-clinder engine with 138hp will power this vehicle, either with FWD or AWD, through a continuously variable trans-mission or 6-cpeed manual. Pricing will be introduced closer to the introduction this coming spring. Built in Mexico, the HR-V will give Honda the same leg up that the original CR-V did for the small SUV segment.

Chevrolet VoltIt might surprise many people that the best selling electric car in Canada is the Chevrolet Volt, not the sexy Tesla Model S. There are many reasons for this, mainly the fact that the Volt provides all-electric transporta-tion for 65 kms but with the aid of a small 4-cylinder generator to extend the range over 300 kms. This car has all of the upside of an electric car with none of the range limiting restrictions. In 2015, Chevrolet will intro-duce the second generation of Chevrolet Volt, one that hopes to improve on the usability of the car in terms of comfort and electric driving range. General Motors will showcase the next generation car in January at the Detroit Auto Show and the company’s CEO has stated that the new car “will store more energy in its battery pack with fewer cells, yet go further on a charge.” General Motors claims that 80 per cent of current Volt owners commute entirely on electric power, so any improvement to range will help increase this number. The Volt isn’t a huge volume seller for General Motors but this new model will help the company to showcase what it can do technologically. General Motors has the capability to produce some the most advanced cars on the road.

By Bob McHugh

Crossovers are the most in demand vehicles in any market you can name.Mazda CX-3: Freshly unveiled at the Los Angeles Auto Show, the Mazda CX-3 is an all-new compact (crossover) utility. Like all the latest Mazda products it comes with that distinctive Kodo (Soul of Motion) styling theme and it’s the fifth in a series of the new-generation models to feature the full-package of Mazda’s ground-breaking Skyactiv (fuel-saving) technolo-gies. In dealers next summer (as a 2016 model), the CX-3 is expected to become a new core vehicle in the Mazda line-up.Power comes from a 2.0-litre gas engine linked to a six-speed automatic transmission and Mazda’s new-generation AWD system. This system employs an active torque control coupling, first used on the Mazda CX-5, plus a new and unique front wheel slip warning detection system. New technologies available include a Mazda Connect infotainment system and its (radar based) i-Activesense active safety system.The CX-3 has an extra long hood and a flowing

shape that raises at the rear to convey a look of strength and power. Large diameter wheels are pushed to the body ends and it has a long 101.2 wheelbase. The chassis employs a lightweight tor-sion beam rear suspension system.Forward positioning the front wheels allows the driver extended leg room, on the inside, and space for a hinged (organ-type design) gas pedal. Seating is provided for up to five and the rear seat occu-pants sit a little taller than those in the front. Lincoln MKC: Agile, athletic and fuel-efficient are not words you probably associate with Lincoln vehicles, but they can be used to describe the MKC. This all-new and attractive premium compact utility vehicle fits nicely into a revitalized Lincoln line-up that’s more in tune with today’s luxury vehicle buyer. Powered by either a 2.0-litre (10.9L/100km), or optional 2.3-litre (11.2L/100km), turbocharged four-cylinder (EcoBoost) engine, the MKC has a starting MSRP just under $40,000 and comes in three trim levels. All wheel drive is standard plus continuously controlled suspension damping, adaptive electric power-assisted steering and active (cabin) noise control are included in a group of advanced technologies called Lincoln Drive Control.

The MKC’s extra-large rear liftgate is a distinctive wraparound design that includes the full-width LED taillights. Created by using a unique hydro-forming process it gives the MKC a smooth, clean rear appearance and the wider opening provides easier access to its cargo area. A clever optional power feature also allows hands-free operation, to open or close the liftgate, by using a kicking action. Toyota Highlander: This third generation of Toyota Highlander is sleeker, more fuel-efficient and larger, with three rows of seating, for up to eight occupants. It’s also available in four (3.5-litre) V6 engine editions plus three (V6) hybrid powertrain editions. The fuel-frugal base LE trim ($31,975) is the only front-drive version. Limited ($45,395) is the top-line all-wheel drive edition and hybrid editions range from $44,015 to $52,990. The 3.5-litre V-6 can generate 270-horsepower and it’s mated to six-speed automatic transmission. Towing is rated at 2,268 kg (5,000 lbs) and a transmission cooler is standard, however, the tow hitch, with a wiring harness, is an option.While you gain the cool-factor of its utility, as a people-mover it can’t match the practicality of

a minivan. Maximum cargo space of 2,370 litres (with second and third rows folded) isn’t close to the Toyota Sienna minivan’s 4,247 litres. Then again, Highlander has real off-road credentials. Good ground clearance, hill-decent and four-wheel-drive locking features keep Highlander in-touch with its roots. Nissan Murano: If you want a mid-sized cross-over that will stand out from the crowd, take a look at a 2015 Nissan Murano, and its new price tag! This third-generation design takes the Murano’s car-like styling to a new level in the utility segment. It’s offered in four trim levels – S ($29,998), SV, SL and Platinum and there’s a choice of front-wheel (S, SV) or all-wheel drive (SV, SL, Platinum). The start price has been reduced by $4,500 (versus the 2014 Murano S) and prices have dropped on almost all trim levels, even though the new Murano comes with more equipment. Power comes from a 3.5-litre V6 engine connected to an Xtronic (CVT) transmission.The 2015 Murano has reduced weight (approxi-mately 145 pounds) versus the previous genera-tion, low rolling resistance tires, air grille shutter, low 0.31 Cd, underbody covers that enhance

underbody airflow and improvements to the Xtronic transmission.Honda CR-V: There are many very good reasons why the Honda CR-V is Canada’s best-selling utility vehicle and it gets significant enhancements for the 2015 model year. Honda claims this is the most significant mid-model cycle refresh in its history and the changes include a new direct-injected Earth Dreams Technology i-VTEC engine and a continuously variable transmission (CVT). Although the current (2014) CR-V provides good fuel economy, the new powertrain combo is even better. When both model years are measured with the new NR CAN’s 5-cycle test method, the com-bined fuel savings for a front-drive 2015 edition is 1.3 L/100km and the 2015 all-wheel-drive version is 1.1 L/100km more frugal than its predecessor. In addition to enhanced exterior and interior styl-ing, CR-V also gets a new suite of Honda Sensing safety and driver assistive features, plus some new standard and available features. And there’s more good news, the 2015 Honda CR-V comes with a lower start manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP) of $25,990. [email protected]
