TheRe ShoulD be a blend of public and private developments on the old Terrace Co-op site lo-cated just west of the Best Western Terrace Inn, a city task force has determined.
After a year of research and meetings, the group’s recommen-dations include a hotel with res-taurant and retail space, a heritage centre, green space, a brew pub and parking.
“The development of the former Co-op property will have a dramat-ic positive impact to our downtown and our community,” said Terrace’s mayor Dave Pernarowski after the recommendations were released at a Nov. 26 city council meeting.
“Council will continue to take actions that ensure this happens in the shortest time frame possible.”
The site once contained a thriv-ing shopping centre owned by the Terrace Co-operative Association but it closed in the late 1990s when the forest industry collapsed.
Sold at first to a private devel-oper, the city bought it in 2005 and has been trying to figure out a use for the property ever since.
It tore down the shopping cen-tre building a year ago, saying the chances of the property attracting developers was slim as long as the building remained.
“The city should consider con-tracting an architect to provide a cohesive concept for the property,” suggested task force chair Bob Park to council while presenting recommendations. he added that local First Nations could be con-tacted about building a long house
or museum.Public space would consist of a
plaza or square with the remaining property sold to developers to pro-vide tax revenue to the city.
There’s incentive for develop-ers through the city’s downtown improvement tax exemption which allows for improvements to build-ings and property that aren’t fac-tored in to taxable value for five years.
Building a hotel is at the top of the recommendation list.
“The need for more hotel rooms is evident in the community,” said the report, recommending a 100-room limited service hotel with retail and restaurant space built in.
Next on the list is a heritage centre, which mentions the Ter-race’s Museum Society’s efforts to
build a museum and archival space at a minimum of 3,000 square feet in the downtown.
“A museum to store and display artifacts would meet the current zoning and would also comple-ment the George little house,” read the report, which estimated 10,000 square feet of property would fit the museum’s needs.
In addition to the museum, a long house or First Nations muse-um could be built either separately or jointly on the property, requiring up to 20,000 square feet.
Next up, green space is recom-mended as a use for the property.
“Green space would enhance the aesthetic of the property and would provide some public space,” the report reads, suggesting the city look into buying some land
from CN Rail along the southern part of the property and extend the Grand Trunk Pathway.
or, extra space along the Greig Ave. side of the property could be set aside for green space as an in-viting place for pedestrians.
A group of local investors want-ing to build a brew pub on the property have already signed a pur-chase option.
Planned is a small brewery with food and entertainment on the northwest corner of the Co-op property near the Western Finan-cial Group and Staples.
“This facility will provide some tax revenue to the city as a private business,” reads the report.
lastly, parking will be required, the report acknowledges.

■ Kettle kickoffmarylin davies, city councillor, is the first volunteer to help kick off the salvation army Kettle Campaign, its big fundraiser, at Canadian Tire dec. 1. That’s regional district admin-istrator Bob marcellin making the first donation. Kettles will also be set up at Walmart, real Canadian Wholesale store, save on Foods, safeway and the BC liquor store.
TeRRACe CITY council has giv-en owners of three derelict build-ings on little Ave. 60 days to tear them down and clean up the yards or the city will do it for them and send them the bill for the work.
Two of the properties contain Second World War-era military housing and the third was once a hospital.
The structures at 4520 little Ave. owned by Sandra and Wayne Kirby, 4440 little Ave. by lloyd Wittkowski and 4450 little Ave. by the estate of Bertha Vogel have been the subject of complaints and warnings by public officials of safety, health and nuisance hazards for years.
The decisions reached by coun-cil Nov. 26 followed months of closed door sessions about what action to take.
City officials prepared nearly 100 pages of information and pho-tos for council to consider in reach-ing the three decisions.
little Ave., a graveled section of road barely one lane wide and full of potholes, is located just east of the arena and aquatic centre and resembles more of a back lane than a city street.
In the case of the Wittkowski property, city records indicate complaints going back to 1990. he didn’t acquire the property until the mid 2000s.
“(There’s) a long history of is-sues on this property,” noted city official David Block.
“The ground has pushed in a wall of the crawl space,” said an excerpt of one report on the struc-ture. “Some of the strong smell in there is a result of (cats) presence and indicates an unsanitary situa-tion.”
No plumbing or heating is available in the building, electric-ity only services one light, stairs and landings are in poor and dan-gerous condition and the founda-tion has been affected by rot, said the report.
“If fire were to spread, it would spread rapidly and potentially be life endangering,” said Block to council. “Reconstruction would not make viable sense.”
After a round of letters demand-ing action from the city late this summer, Wittkowski indicated he would tear down at least part of the building by now. It still stands.

THE LOCAL Chances Terrace gam-ing centre wasn’t so lucky with Ter-race city council last Monday after its request to increase the number of slot machines it operates was denied.
After a public forum was held two weeks ago at which the majority of community members who spoke were in favour, the Chances Terrace request to add 25 slot machines was defeated by a 4 – 3 vote.
Councillors who voted against the bid felt that even if profits were distributed to governments and com-munity groups in need, isn’t worth the suffering gambling causes to those addicted.
Councillors who favoured the ex-pansion argued it’s not the city’s job to regulate a facility that operates le-gally and that demand at the facility speaks for itself.
“I still maintain that the biggest addiction to gambling is our levels of government,” said councillor Lynne Christiansen. “It really bothers me that a society as a whole profits off the backs of those that lose.”
Although many at last week’s public forum spoke in favour of in-creasing the number of slot machines, Christiansen noted they stood to gain gambling revenue grants and that she’s heard privately from many citi-zens who aren’t in favour.
Councillor Stacey Tyers added that she also heard from community mem-bers who are opposed to expansion but weren’t comfortable speaking at the forum.
“The people most affected by gaming addiction are ... essentially, our most vulnerable,” said Tyers, adding research she’s done indicates slot machines are the second highest addictive form of gambling next to online gambling.
She also pointed to the revenues.“A lot of this is coming from peo-
ple who can absolutely not afford to lose it,” she said of money they had.
Councillor James Cordeiro agreed.“Repeatedly, the amount of money
distributed to charities has been used to rationalize a substantial increase to the number of slots in Terrace,” he added, also voted against expansion.
Also, there are a few circumstanc-es which contradict the BC Lottery Corporation’s (BCLC) efforts to pro-mote responsible gambling, he said.
He pointed to a machine at Chanc-es Terrace which allows four virtual machines to be played at once, the placement of an ATM at the doorway and also BCLC’s online gambling limit which he said was raised from
$120 to just under $10,000.Councillor Bruce Bidgood also
voted against the motion, saying that in this case, he voted with his heart.
“I have to speak with my own val-ue system on this position,” he said, adding that while he’s heard compel-ling arguments both against and in favour, he’s against creating a culture that fosters gambling addiction.
Chances operates a legal facility, pointed out councillor Brian Downie, adding it is “an issue of congestion” that’s led the facility to request to in-crease the number of slots.
In a previous presentation to coun-cil, the BCLC said an average of 90 per cent of the 75 slot machines at Terrace Chances were filled on week-ends compared to 54 per cent occu-pancy in Prince Rupert and 71 per cent in Williams Lake.
“Chances exists,” said Downie. “And it has been run by all accounts successfully.”
Council also endorsed the con-struction of Terrace Chances in the first place, he said.
He questioned council’s role in trying to limit slots when demand for the machines speaks otherwise.
But Tyers responded that a limit was imposed years ago, meaning council made the decision then to regulate the number of machines al-lowed.
“I think we’re simply upholding the previous position,” she said.
According to councillor Marylin Davies, it isn’t council’s job to limit people’s choices.
“As a democratic citizen of Cana-da it’s not my place to say what you can do with your money and what you can’t,” she said. “If people want to gamble, nobody is taking them by the hand and shoving them in the door.”
She also pointed to the irony un-derlying another request made to council by a local group for a letter of support for gaming money to run programs to feed hungry people.
The request, which was granted, came from the Kalum Community School Society which this year re-ceived a $125,000 gaming grant but now wants an increase to $180,000 next year.
Grant money will go toward food school programs, community school gardens, the Good Food Box program and the fruit registry.
Mayor Dave Pernarowski did not speak to the motion but he sided with Downies and Davies in supporting a move to increase the number of slot machines.
No new slots, says city

Clear sailing for Shames purchaseMY RECREATIONAL Mountain Coop says it can go ahead and purchase the Shames Mountain Ski facility from current owners, the Shames Mountain Ski Corporation, now that a combination of a debt forgiveness and loan payment plan worth close to $700,000 has been worked out with the provincial gov-ernment.
The non-pro� t re-gional co-op struck a purchase deal with the ski corporation last year, but it was held up pending a debt resolu-tion with the provincial
government.The ski corpora-
tion owed the province $429,010 for an out-standing tourism devel-opment loan taken out more than 20 years ago plus $108,672 in out-standing interest.
It also owed the province $88,579 in unpaid royalties and $46,767 in unpaid inter-est tied to the royalties, � nancial obligations which were taken on by the co-op as part of the sales arrangement.
The debt forgiveness deal for the tourism loan calls for the ski corpora-tion to pay the province
$125,000 in return for the province writing off the remainder of the loan amount and forgiv-ing the interest.
The province will also write off the $46,767 unpaid interest tied to the unpaid royal-ties.
In return, the ski co-op will pay off the $88,579 in unpaid roy-alties on a payment schedule stretched out over the next 10 years.
The payment sched-ule includes interest of prime plus 1.5 per cent.
“The resolution of these items means that My Mountain Co-op
can now close the pur-chase agreement and proceed with the op-eration of the hill into the future,” said co-op founding director Cur-tis Billey.
“It also means the co-op can now apply to have the [land] tenure transferred to it. This is a great way to kick off the 2012-13 season at Shames.”
The co-op operated the Shames facility last year on a lease arrange-ment with the ski corpo-ration.
Provincial forests minister Steve Thom-son, the minister re-
sponsible for the for-giveness plan, said the alternative was for the Shames Mountain Ski Corporation to declare bankruptcy.
If that happened, the province would have ended up with the ski hill assets and the task of disposing of them, he said.
The co-op was
formed in response to the ski corporation saying it was contem-plating closing down because it could not � -nancially break even.
My Mountain Co-op currently has more than 1,000 members and continues to draw support from area busi-nesses, individuals and corporations.
This isn’t the � rst time a province has stepped in to � nancially assist a struggling ski operation.
The best known one is the Whistler devel-opment which was res-cued by the provincial government and is now one of the premiere ski-ing showcases in North America.
Politicians back dealTHE TWO front run-ners in next year’s pro-vincial election say they support the province’s Shames Mountain debt forgiveness plan.
Current Skeena NDP MLA Robin Austin, who is running again next May, said there was no realistic way the province could expect a debt of $429,000 owed by the Shames Moun-tain Ski Corporation to be paid anyway.
Instead the corpora-tion will pay $125,000 and the province will write off the remainder of the $429,000 and more than $108,000 in interest.
The forgiveness plan now means the ski cor-poration can sell the Shames ski facility to
My Mountain Co-op.At the same time, the
co-op has taken on the task of paying $88,000 in royalties owed the province. In return, the province is erasing a debt of $47,000 in un-paid interest tied to the royalties.
“Actually, this is re-ally going to be a good thing,” said Austin of the debt forgiveness plan. “The co-op can now get on with the job of � nding a sustainable model to run the moun-tain.”
Austin added that having a ski hill so close to Terrace will help at-tract and keep new resi-dents to the area.
Also in support is Carol Leclerc, the pro-vincial Liberal candi-
date next May.“I think [My Moun-
tain Coop] has had a big load lifted off of their shoulders and now have an opportunity to move forward without so much debt hanging over their head,” she said.
My Mountain Coop
“is truly a coop; every-one knows they have a role to play, people aren’t afraid to roll up their sleeves and un-derstand it will be hard work going forward but the light is looking much brighter at the end of the tunnel.”

Hockey originsIt took support from the whole community of Terrace to build the arena and get
local minor hockey off the ground By Anna Killen
It might be hard for some in Terrace to remember a time when there was only one sheet of ice here, not two. But
imagine growing up with no indoor arena at all. That was the case for years here in Terrace, even as oth-er, smaller northwest towns built rinks and grew their minor hock-ey leagues. But by the end of the 1960s, the community was commit-ted to working together to fund and build the Terrace Arena, and from there the seeds of the Terrace Mi-nor Hockey Association (still going strong today) were planted, with both acts serving as a symbol of unity and co-operation in the town.
It was 1972 when the Terrace Arena was completed and the Ter-race Minor Hockey Association � rst registered players. Organizers weren’t sure what to expect that � rst season, but on the � rst day of registration, nearly 750 boys lined up outside of the new arena, snak-ing the block. They were eager to � nally skate—and spectate—in-side. It was the � rst indoor ice rink for the town of 10,000, and that � rst season almost 900 new hockey players were registered.
“In the � rst year, I’d say that 90 per cent of the kids couldn’t skate,” says Jim Macintosh, TMHA’s � rst vice president, noting that many of the kids signed up for � gure skating and power skate and that coaches often spent hours giving one-on-one instruction to shy re-cruits. “It wasn’t until January that we even allowed them to interplay. It actually worked out well. It gave would-be coaches the chance to get their feet on the ground.”
Because that � rst year, hockey organizers and parents in Terrace � ew by the seat of their hockey pants.
Jim MacDougall, who was also part of the � rst core group of 14 volunteer directors, with Richard Olsen as president, and Les Smith,
Donna Donald and Fred Nicholson rounding out the executive, re-members being told he was going to be the bantam manager.
“‘Well, how do you be a ban-tam manager?’ And they said, ‘Oh, you’ll � nd out,’” he says.
But the feeling that they were all � guring it out together as they went along was part of the fun, both men concede.
“It was quite the exciting time, enthusiastic energy,” says Mac-Dougall. “The enthusiasm was just unreal.”
Part of the enthusiasm came from the fact that the arena and the hockey league had been coveted by the community for so long.
For years neighbouring commu-nities were building indoor arenas of their own while the citizens of Terrace skated on backyard rinks.
A 1967 editorial in the Terrace Omineca Herald, the newspaper at the time, compared Quesnel, which had a rink, to Terrace, and called on Terrace’s then-MLA Dudley G. Little to pressure the provincial government to put more money into parks and recreation. It also warned the taxpayers there
would be a cost. “Make no mistake, it’s going to
cost you money,” the paper said. “But it’s well worth the expendi-ture. All one needs for proof is a recent copy of the Quesnel Cari-boo Observer in which three full pages of pictures appear. They are pictures of young, healthy, happy faces sticking out above bulky hockey sweaters.”
And Macintosh remembers moving here with his family in the mid-60s from Prince George and being worried about how his chil-dren (who were used to playing hockey and � gure skating) were going to skate.
But outdoor rinks popped up ev-erywhere—there was even a group of boys from Uplands who called themselves the UHL and would organize games—eventually lead-ing to a larger outdoor rink behind Skeena school, that Macintosh, Bill Watson and Twin River Elec-tric out� tted with outdoor � ood lights.
“That really brought people into it, all of the sudden they could watch local hockey on an outdoor rink, � oodlit, at night,” he said. “So
we did that for maybe two years before we got started on the arena.”
And the arena was an all-hands-on-deck effort, with community members of all stripes and capabil-ities pitching in to help wherever they could. Bake sales and dances were held, and there was a big ther-mometer erected outside the Ter-race library so people could see the donations for the arena come in.
“The arena was all volunteer, too, there were guys that put in hours and hours and hours,” said Macintosh. “Everybody got behind it, it was unbelievable. The whole town just jumped right in there and away it went.”
And once the rink was ready, it wasn’t hard to � nd volunteers to help with the hockey league.
One of the early organizers, John Donald, went door to door during the summer of 1972 shoring up support. The very � rst TMHA meeting was held at John Custus’ of� ce on Railroad Ave., with a larger meeting taking place shortly thereafter at the Veritas Hall.
“That was the big one,” said MacDougall. “People just came up and spoke in droves.”
They � gured out who would do what right there, and Terrace Mi-nor Hockey was on its way.
And � nding sponsors for the 43 teams was not a problem, says MacDougall.
“We had sponsors for every team,” he says.
The rink was hopping busy from day one, with some of the older leagues taking to the ice after midnight, highlighting a struggle that is still here in Terrace today.
“One of the big problems was allotting ice time,” said MacDou-gall. “The rink was never shut down except to put water on it.”
And even though they all had full-time jobs, the minor hockey group found themselves at the rink every day, for hockey, � gure skat-ing, a meeting, or to help a new player sharpen his skates.
Family members of the execu-tive often found their houses � lled with extra hockey equipment, or piles of jerseys to be laundered, and girls from the skating club ran the concession stand. The city took care of the Zamboni. And All Sea-sons was there to sell equipment—though suitable goalie gear was always hard to come by.
But the � rst year was “not with-out its problems” as the group � gured out how to run a hockey league, but watching their kids grow up playing hockey, and see-ing the town pack the arena to play games made it worthwhile and joined the community together.
The town would even pack the rink to watch the youngest league, the equivalent of today’s Timbits.
“I can always remember those little guys,” says Macintosh. “We had two sets of teams on the ice at one time... They didn’t know which end to skate to. We’d have people come down on the Saturday just to watch them—they had prime time, eh? People just � ooded in to watch these little guys try to skate.”

JOHN Shaw � ew in long distance aircraft from a base in the Maritimes, far out over the dangerous North At-lantic on the look out for both friend-ly ships and enemy submarines.
That he never left Canada in no way diminished the importance of the role he played for had Allied forces not kept the North Atlantic shipping lanes open, Britain would have literally starved and been un-able to function as the land base for the invasion of Europe in 1944.
Otto Lindstrom did � ght over-seas, a member of the Canadian Army which took part in the long and bloody � ght to liberate � rst Sic-ily and then Italy beginning in 1943. That campaign was called The For-gotten War, often overshadowed by the June 1944 storming of the beach-es at Normandy.
But, as Mr. Lindstrom himself put it in a 2004 feature in The Terrace Standard written by Jennifer Lang, “if it hadn’t been for the army in Ita-ly, D-Day would have failed.” That’s because Allied forces tied down en-emy troops in Italy, preventing them from being used as reinforcements in France.
Mr. Shaw and Mr. Lindstrom, both in their 90s, passed away in No-vember, thinning out even more the ranks of those surviving who fought in the Second World War. Their passing reinforces the need for all of us to remember the sacri� ces that soldiers, aircrew and sailors made in all wars. Not just on Remembrance Day, but throughout the year.

With the arrival of snow, gar-deners may dress in leo-
tards and drive to a gym to work out.
I, however, don hard hat, goalie pads, and steel-toed boots and descend into the basement to stack winter � re-wood.
Stacking � rewood gives me plenty of stretching as I heave the blocks higher than my head, and bending as I grapple one block at a time from the � oor.
Most blocks are too wide and heavy for me to safely grip and lift with one hand.
Stressing my bones helps to ward off osteoporosis and thus the risk of fractures, pro-vided I don’t crush a toe or � nger as I work.
With the exception of the occasional length of limb, two or so inches in diam-eter, every block is tri-sided tripling the sharp planes that must be avoided.
Experience has taught me never to place one hand over the lead end of a block. I did that once and needed several stitches to repair the damage.
Stacking wood in the basement keeps it dry, handy to the woodstove, and out
of sight of neighbours who might criticize my stacking.
I openly admire one neigh-bour’s woodshed with every block lined up as precisely as kernels on a prizewinning cob of corn.
Since the 7.7 magnitude earthquake October 27 I now check the stability of my stacks not only from end to end of each row, but also from side to side, particularly the stabilizing ends if no con-crete wall is available to be a bookend.
Over the years I’ve been startled awake or had my reading interrupted by the heart-stopping thud of blocks bouncing down and sprawl-
ing out on to the concrete � oor.
For that reason I always aim to leave plenty of “delta” space between my stacks and the woodstove, gas furnace and hot water tank, just in case.
Besides the block-by-block considerations of length, shape, and uniform depth, I have to remember to stack so I have easy access to the driest wood � rst.
That’s one thing I forgot as I began stacking the sec-ond cord this summer.
Now my only access to the driest � rst rows is from one end, putting me at risk of a thump on the head, hand, or foot should I dislodge pieces higher up while I gather a piece or two from the � oor.
I’ve learned to hold one block upright in front of my ankles while I pitch a heavy block toward the top of the pile to purposely trigger a slide.
Until I adopted this pup I could cover the pile with a plastic tarp when it was deliv-ered and keep it dry from rain or snow until I could throw the wood into the basement a little each day.
But this pup chews any-thing. She would tear the
tarp into strips before the � rst dawn.
Also, she hauls wood blocks to use as chew toys. The longer she has access to the off-loaded pile, the more wood I have to retrieve from the far corners of the yard.
After one delivery, I wheeled 31 pieces back to the basement opening. As though I needed the extra exertion.
Before the delivery truck leaves my yard she can have � ve pieces arrayed at her fa-vourite play area. There she strips the bark and gnaws off bumps.
Any skinny sliver, bark curl, or branch nub is all her pincer grip needs to haul a heavy block, head high, rear end waggling to balance the weight, like a bitch removing a misbehaving eight-week-old pup from danger.
Gardeners enjoy a sense of satisfaction viewing their pantries with row upon row of canned fruits and freezers � lled with their summer pro-duce. I don’t garden.
But I share similar sat-isfaction from a basement stacked with enough � re-wood to keep me comfortable through weeks of stormy, cold weather.
Burning wood keeps you in shape
The Mail Bag
The story of the 2012 US presidential election we should pay attention to in Canada is not the per-
formance of the candidates; it is a story of mathematics.
The star in this regard is Nate Silver who predicted the outcome of the election with uncanny ac-curacy. Most pollsters held that the election was too close to call.
Silver, who is not a pollster but a statistician and mathematician, devised a formula using polling data produced by others to accu-rately predict the outcome of the vote in every state.
Silver’s overall prediction was that Obama had a better than 90 per cent chance to be reelected. Some political observers have expressed concern that the ability to predict election outcomes with such accuracy may hurt democra-cy. They fear that citizens may not bother to make the effort to vote if the outcome of an election can be accurately predicted in advance.
The concern is valid, but I am
more concerned about the influ-ence polling and Silver’s formula will have on the strategies of Can-ada’s political parties.
Obama’s team applied refined polling strategies in swing states such as Ohio. They used its so-phisticated polling data to devel-op, shape, and refine its campaign message to address those unique-ly local aspects of the broad na-tional issues.
Thus, while a national objec-tive may be job creation, local campaigns are crafted to address and highlight uniquely local em-ployment related messages.
The objective is for individual voters to interpret a party’s broad national policy statement from a close to home and easily under-stood perspective.
When a political party incor-porates an Obama-style strategy with Silver’s formula in a national campaign, it can measure with a high degree of accuracy the ef-fectiveness of the strategy. It will know which electoral districts
may be ignored and thus direct all resources to key districts to secure a victory.
Canada’s electoral system cannot be compared to that of the United States. There the two branches of the legislative and the head of the executive are elected separately. We elect only half of the legislative arm of govern-
ment, the House of Commons. The party who controls the House of Commons controls it all.
Our democracy is further mar-ginalized by our electoral system which is not concerned about the will or the mood of the majority; all the rewards go to the leader.
Over the span of the past three elections, from 2004 to 2008, voter support for the Conservative Party increased by 3.3 per cent, from 36.3 to 39.6 per cent.
With those numbers the party’s representation in the House of Commons increased by 33.9 per cent, giving it eleven seats more than needed for a majority in one legislative arm and full control of government overall.
The 2008 election results were not an aberration. In 1993 the Liberal Party won a nine seat ma-jority with only 38.5 per cent of voter support.
Notwithstanding differences in our systems, there is noth-ing to prevent the application of Obama’s campaign segmentation
strategy with Silver’s voter intent monitoring formula in Canada.
The consequence of doing so has the potential to reduce our already marginal democracy to tokenism.
Obama’s campaign segmen-tation strategy combined with Silver’s voter intent monitoring formula applied in Canada will enable political parties to ac-curately identify swing ridings, ignore ridings where support is either assured or negligible, and focus individualized campaign messages on a few swing ridings. Voter response in these swing rid-ings will be monitored using Sil-ver’s formula.
Applying such sophisticated campaign strategies to our system will make parliamentary majori-ties possible with the support of as few as one third of the voters, thereby reducing democracy to mere symbolism.

American polling a threat to Canadian voting

ANDRE CARREL
Dear Sir:Is it possible that all
the negative talk about oil and gas pipelines has given us tunnel vision and not allowing us to look at the bigger pic-ture?
Most of us would be happy if there were no pipelines anywhere but petroleum products are a necessary evil and life as we know it cannot ex-ist without them. What is important is that these products are moved in
the safest possible way. Everyday thousands of railcars filled with pe-troleum products travel on the railroads across the country and in B.C. due to our mountainous terrain the railroads run right adjacent to our ma-jor river systems.
Every year there are train wrecks in this country and it is only a matter of time until one of them ends up in one of the major rivers that they follow.
What do people say about these trains that are getting longer all the time?
They say, “man, that’s a nice long train,” because no environmen-talist or media outlet that thrives on negativity has told them any different. Most of us know noth-ing about oil and gas pipelines but the media has made us believe that they are a bad thing.
Actually, if they want to point out the danger
of pipelines they should be talking about the sew-er systems of the towns and cities in the country.
All the liquid from these systems ends up in the lakes and riv-ers of this country and contains every chemical known to man. But we won’t hear much about this as we even the most radical environmental-ists know they need the use of these systems.
There are a lot of so-called green living peo-
ple that are not fooling anyone but themselves.
As the population of the world increases, there will be threats to land and water, but if everyone works together these threats could be kept to a minimum.
One way or another petroleum products will be moved offshore to the countries that need them as we are part of a global community and a global economy.
Pipelines are a fact of life

Dear Sir:I hear Christy Clark’s B.C. government wants
to levy a toll on all B.C.’s highways and bridges. What money do they owe the Chinese? Or
are they just mad at people for calling for the end of the harmony tax and this is their way of getting even with B.C. voters/tax payers?
The government figures the bridge tolls are worth millions and the highway ones are worth billions.
The only reason they call themselves Liberals is because after two wins by the NDP in the ‘90s they noticed the regular Liberal Party got more votes than the Socreds.
In Skeena, Juanita Hatton in her eighties came second, even though she only appeared at the all-candidates meetings and she was too busy running the Golden Rule organization to extend her energy.
People in Skeena and other places just loved the name Liberal. But someone said their name change would be confused with the Ottawa Lib-erals so they changed themselves to BC Liberals.
But they’re basically the old ultra conserva-tive party: the Emperor is naked!
Warning: the Terrace food bank is doing a good job but they gave sugared bread out to dia-betics.
I don’t think they know that cheap white, brown and 60 per cent whole wheat bread is sug-ar. A friend of mine calls the stuff, candy bread.
None of them are nutritious so watch out and read the label if you’re diabetic.
Depending on what your health demands, watch it anyway.

Otto Lindstrom was a one of a kind personDear Sir: I was fortunate to have
gotten to know Otto Lind-strom pretty well during my years at The Terrace Stan-dard.
My favourite memory is the time he took me out to his trapline in Remo, site of his family’s former home-stead.
He’d maintained the tra-pline for 75 years, taking it over for some pioneer Swede, I think, back in the day, and was still making the rounds.
We both hopped on ATVs (he was 87 at the time) and roared through the damp woods. We were rewarded with the discovery of a
soggy, flea-infested marten snared inside one of the con-nibear traps.
Fortunately (for me) the marten had to be hung up overnight to dry, so the rest of the procedure had to wait for another day.
A veteran of the Second World War and the brutal Italian campaign, Otto was
proud to call himself a D-Day Dodger. I am humbled to have learned what he meant by that, and am happy to enlighten anyone who asks.
My strongest memory is the day after my story about his time during the war was published.
He came in and we just
looked at each other for a few minutes before saying anything. Neither of us was able to articulate what we were thinking.
“I know.” I said finally. “I know.”
The story, you see, had just scratched the surface. But somehow there was nothing more to be said.
He was such a gentle, kind, opinionated, life-af-firming soul.
His life says so much about the kind of people who make Terrace what it is – and the generation that sacrificed so much for their country.

If we think we can just keep the oilsands for our own use, re-member that most of the wars fought in recent times were to gain con-trol of the world’s oil reserves no matter what Mr. Bush may tell you.
If we are successful in stopping the pipeline to Kitimat all that will change is the loss of high-paying jobs. The pipeline would then run south into the USA where a pipeline will bring it to the Wash-ington coast for loading onto ships for Asia.
This could happen just across the Canadian border so we would still
have the same concern of increased tanker traf-fic as ocean currents and tidal movements would bring any prob-lems into B.C. waters as shown by the debris ar-riving from Japan.
We must look at all of this with an open mind to be sure we know what we are talk-ing about as jobs are go-ing to become very im-portant in this province.
At least 15,000 jobs will be lost over the next 10-15 years in the for-est industry due to the mountain pine beetle.
Sawmills will no longer be able to pro-duce lumber of a quality
that would keep them financially stable and as sawmills shut down, other forestry-related plants will shut down as well.
Pulp mills, pellet plants, co-generation plants, etc. can not op-erate without the wood chips and wood waste made available as a by-product of making lum-ber.
Logging just to run those type of operations would be far too costly.
The jobs that will be lost can not be replaced with a seasonal tourist industry or a job in a big box store.
These types of good-
paying jobs can only be replaced in the resource sector, so if we want our young people to be able to support a fam-ily and buy a home, we will have to make jobs available in the resource sector.
If we don’t do that a lot of these young people will move way and those that stay will struggle to survive.
U n e m p l o y m e n t causes huge social problems.
Just ask the people in towns like Hazelton and Burns Lake. All of this makes it very impor-tant that we make the right decisions about
resource sector projects.We should not com-
pare today’s pipelines with those built 50 years ago. We are now capable of sending peo-ple into space through thousands of degrees of heat and bringing them
safely back home.The space age mate-
rials available today can not be compared to the ones used 50 over even 20 years ago.
I’m not knocking the people opposed to pipelines but hopefully
I want to make us all take a good honest look at the bigger picture and not just go by what we see or read in the media.
This will be very im-portant to our future.

A single parking area with 280 spaces would fulfill the above recommendations and the report notes that it should not be a focal point of the property. Underground or multi-level parking should be explored to reduce its footprint on the lot.
The report suggests an architect be hired to re-create a downtown focal point. Earlier this year, famous architect Douglas Cardinal visit-ed the site and has since sent an estimate of what his services would cost. For the commu-nity consultation and the following concept design the cost to hire Cardinal would be from $20,000 to $30,000 ac-cording to an estimate he provided.
At the city coun-cil meeting where the report was presented, councillor James Cor-deiro who sits on the task force as a council liaison asked if there was any additional ben-efit to hiring Cardinal above another architect.
Park responded that no specific architect was recommended.
And prior to being developed, a northeast-ern portion of the prop-erty will require envi-ronmental remediation as an old gas bar was once located there. A certificate stating that portion of the property is cleaned up is required from the province and development could
likely start by 2014, said the report, recom-mending this part of the process take priority.
Members on the task force include two city
councillors, Cordeiro and Brian Downie; four members at large, Norm Frank, Bert Husband, Neal Lindseth and Wanita Simpson; Sasa
Loggin from the Skeena Diversity Society; and chair Bob Park from Terrace’s Downtown Improvement Associa-tion.

BUSINESS REVIEWConstruction stats increase

IT’S BEEN a good year so far for new and reno-vated commercial space with a combined $6.8 million being spent in this fashion.
And all told, nearly $13.6 million in con-struction permits were taken out by the end of October, based on sta-tistics provided by the City of Terrace.
That’s more than 2001, 2010 and 2009 but less than 2008’s number of $24.33 mil-lion which featured $6 million in housing and $5.3 million in institu-tional construction and $4.3 million in new commercial construc-tion.
There’s also been a very modest uptick in the number of business licences.
The number stood at 1,059 in January and has now increased to 1,068 to the end of Oc-tober.
There have been 76 closures during the same period but 81 openings and � ve re-openings.
One of the recent commercial construc-tion projects underway is a building for Innova-tion Autoworks, located on Kalum Ave. off of Keith on the Southside.
The 5,000 square foot six-bay garage should be ready for business early spring.
As business in the northwest has been
picking up, company of-� cial Dalen Wiebe says the full-service automo-tive repair shop simply needs more space.
“We’ve outgrown the space,” said Wiebe about the company’s current 2200 square foot shop on Greig Ave.
Construction began on Nov. 6 and the struc-ture and exterior walls are now complete said John Bartram, project manager of the con-tracting company hired for the job, Ressel Con-structors.
The company is subcontracted through Kelowna-based Alpine Steel Buildings.
Innovation Auto-works is also using Terrace-based general contractors for the job, which requires concrete work, gutters, windows and other � nishing work prior to completion.
For the land and building, Wiebe said ex-penditures are expected to clock in just under the $1 million mark.
Meanwhile, local bicycle shop McBike has moved a few doors down from its Lazelle Mini-Mall location to a much larger space in a building owned by 16-37 Community Futures. The latter has also tak-en up residence in the building.
McBike owner Bruce Martindale says the larger space, mea-suring approximately
2,800 square feet, pro-vides more retail dis-play space and a larger work area for his me-chanics.
As a business, McBike has been in Terrace for approxi-mately 16 years and Martindale has been its owner for the past eight.
And there’s been another store opening
in the nearly-renovated Skeena Mall. Dollarama has joined SportChek as a new outlet in the mall purchased nearly a year ago by Bosa Properties of Vancouver.
Since then both the interior and exterior have gone under exten-sive renovations. Win-ners is next on the list of stores to open up.

THE TERRACE and District Chamber of Com-merce is going to talk to Enbridge about whether it wishes to repeat as a sponsor of a chamber award which recognizes “green” practices.
The company’s sponsorship this year, part of the chamber’s overall Business Excellence awards, drew fire when all three nominees declined, saying it was wrong for a company such as Enbridge to sponsor such an award.
SkeenaWild Conservation Trust, one of the three, was chosen, however, to be the winner and it then declined the award.
It and other business excellence award winners were announced at a chamber banquet Nov. 24.
Chamber executive director Carol Fielding said the practice of contacting sponsors to determine their plans for the next year is common.
“Sometimes companies tell us what their plans are right away,” she said. “And whenever we have companies interested [in a sponsorship], we try to see how we can fit them in.”
SkeenaWild, a conservation group aimed at the survival and growth of wild salmon populations, is one of the regional groups taking a lead role in opposing Enbridge’s plan to pump crude oil from Alberta to a marine terminal at Kitimat through the Northern Gateways pipeline.
“It’s very clear that Enbridge is using sponsor-ship of community events as a public relations tool to help gain social licence for its project,” said SkeenaWild’s Julia Hill when it turned down the award. “We are not interested in being a pawn in their PR game.”
The other two nominees were local clothier Urban Colour and the Lakelse Watershed Society, which works to increase and protect fish popula-tions and habitat in the Lakelse Lake area.
Hill did say the chamber’s annual business ex-cellence wards are important because the com-
munity is filled with businesses, organizations and people that deserve recognition for a job well done.
“We really encourage the chamber to find some-one to sponsor the green award that’s more in line with our community values,” said Hill.
In a letter sent to the chamber, Hill said a local business had offered to be a sponsor this year or next year.
Fielding said other local businesses have since suggested they might sponsor the green award.
This is the second year Enbridge has sponsored the award. Last year the Terrace Beautification So-ciety was named the winner.
“Last year there was not a hint of a controversy,” said Fielding. “I really think this year it’s because of the winner. It’s because of who is involved.”
The Green award itself is three years old. The first year it was offered was in 2010 with Northwest Community College as the sponsor and the K’san community greenhouse program was the winner.
In a statement, Enbridge said it was is a proud member and supporter of the Terrace and District Chamber of Commerce.
“The chamber’s annual Business Excellence Awards ceremony, which includes a Green Award, is part of our support because we believe it is im-portant to recognize local business efforts and con-tributions to a healthy environment.”
“However, we do not participate in the nomina-tion or selection process of this award and we re-spect any local business owner’s personal decision to accept his or her own nomination,” the statement continued.
Speaking afterward, Enbridge official Ivan Giesbrecht said it was too early to say what the company will do next year regarding the business excellence awards.
“But we’ll continue to be supportive of the Ter-race chamber and what it does,” he said.

HIV is a real concern within our communities. You can contract HIV primarily through unprotected sex and by sharing needles. HIV can live in your body for years without you knowing and all the while you can be passing it to others. At least 25 per cent of people who are HIV+ do not know and these 25 per cent are estimated to be responsible for 75 per cent of new infections. Northern Health, in collaboration with its community partners, is working with the Province of BC to prevent the spread of HIV by expanding HIV testing, treatment, and support services to British Columbians.
Little Ave. ownersays he’ll � ght onONE OWNER of a Little Ave. building ordered demolished by the city last week says he’ll � ght the decision.
George Vogel, who manages 4450 Little Ave. on behalf of the estate of Bertha Vogel, his moth-er, says he’s staying put.
“They have no right to force me out,” he said following the city decision giving owners of three Little Ave. properties 60 days to tear down the structures and clean up the properties.
“This is a single family private residence,” he said, noting that he has been working on cleaning up the property, and has plans to turn the east wing of the building into a green house and the north wing into a garage. Vogel lives in the building with three other people.
“I know it’s not the best, but its not as bad as it’s portrayed,” he said of the Second World War-era structure. “The photos that are in the report are over six months old.”
Nearly 100 pages of informa-tion, report and photos regard-ing health, safety and structural problems at all three properties were provided to council mem-bers last week.
Vogel he says he could have had more work done if the city had agreed to issue him a build-ing permit.
“It’s a Catch-22 and a set up
from the get-go,” he said, noting there are many properties in the area that aren’t complying with city bylaws.
“At the meeting, one of the councillors said the windows should be boarded up. But I had them boarded up before the city told me to un-board them, which I did.”
But while he has plans to con-tinue living in the building while � ghting city hall, Vogel also said he is willing to sell the property, and listed it with a realtor about a month ago.
He extended an offer to the city to purchase the land and structure at the council meeting last Monday. “They can buy it if they want to,” he said of a list price of $179,000.
He said he would accept a fair price on the property, but doesn’t believe the latest assessment of the property is accurate when you consider the size of the lot and how much properties in the neighbourhood have sold for.
The three properties in ques-tion are worth three very differ-ent amounts, according to BC Assessment.
4440 Little Ave. is assessed at $43,000 for the 36,380 sq. ft. lot, while 4520 Little Ave. is as-sessed at $161,900 for 32,336 sq. ft. and 4450 Little Ave. is as-sessed at $72,300.
And 4455 Park Ave, one block
south of Vogel’s property, sold for $168,700 last October.
If the city ends up tearing his property down, Vogel says he would be in a bad situation as his mother’s estate could not afford to pay taxes on the vacant lot.
This means the city could eventually try to claim his prop-erty, he said.
The city has said that if the owners do not comply with the tear-down order they will do it for them and send them the bill.
The property owners have 14 days after the demolition order was issued to � le an appeal.
One of the others, Lloyd Witt-kowski who owns 4440 Little Ave., says he will comply with the tear down order.
“I’ll tear it down in the spring,” he said.
“The problem nowadays is you can’t burn it (the debris) you have to haul it away,” he said. “But there’s lumber I can sal-vage, lots of starter wood.”
He doesn’t expect the process to be too costly.
“I have an excavator and two sons, they will help me,” he said. “God gives and God takes it away, and you can’t � ght city hall.”
Attempts to contact Wayne and Sandra Kirby, owners of the third Little Ave. building ordered town down, 4520 Little Ave., were unsuccessful.
The next property discussed was 4450 Little Ave., owned by Bertha Vogel who is now de-ceased with George Vogel as the manager and occupier of her es-tate.
The complaint history on this property dates back to 1991 with city records showing cleanliness and building safety issues. A real estate for sale sign has now been placed on the building.
A most recent review of the property showed substantial � re hazards, and after issuing a letter to Vogel this summer demanding that he clean up the property and yard, some of the work promised did not materialize.
For instance, Vogel said he would clean up the yard and cut grass by Sept. 8, remove plywood and replace glass and windows by Sept. 15, complete house scraping and paint preparation by Sept. 22 and completion of paint-ing of home by Sept. 29.
Severe structural issues were also recently noted by building inspectors.
The last property reviewed by council was 4520 Little Ave., which was Terrace’s � rst hospi-tal, and is now owned by Mike and Sandra Kirby.
Complaints about this prop-
erty date back to 1996 when a � re chief reported that “if not already, this building will pose a serious life safety concern.”
Reports from a more recent site inspection show the building is in a state of disrepair like the others.
“There are signs of structural issues evident … the interior of the building is very beat up … plumbing � xtures have been re-moved … ceilings are damaged and in some places removed … paint is peeling … due to humid-ity and lack of heat mold is pres-ent,” said a city report.
Fire hazards currently pose a risk to life and neighbouring properties.
After a letter from the city earlier this year demanding ac-tion be taken, Wayne Kirby not-ed he intends to sell the property and secure the building or tear it down.
But efforts to clean up the site have been slow moving, said Block, noting a demolition per-mit was taken out for an eastern portion of the building in Febru-ary.
While a substantial amount of the building has be torn down, some of it still stands, and de-molition permits expire after 90
days, he explained.He added that council had
more options for remedial ac-tion to be taken for this property, including that the city order the building be maintained and se-cured or that staff continue to seek voluntary compliance from the owners.
Councillor Bruce Bidgood added that as the owners had al-ready started to demolish a por-tion of the building, he thinks it best the city order the rest to be boarded and secured.
But councillor Marylin Da-vies pointed out owners had passed the 90-day mark, which means plenty of time for that to complete has passed.
“This implies value and fu-ture use,” said councillor Brian Downie.
“I just don’t see the value in going through this over and over,” added councillor James Cordeiro. “These properties have been derelict for years.”
In the end, council chose to treat all three buildings equally by ordering demolition within 60 days along with other property maintenance orders.
Councillor Stacey Tyers left for two out of three votes due to con� ict of interest.

TERRACE RCMP called a special po-lice unit to assess the risk after Northwest Community College (NWCC) received two more threats after a bomb threat in October.
The E Division Be-havioural Analysis Unit out of Surrey was con-tacted to assist the Ter-race General Investiga-tion Unit.
The behavioural unit is made up of spe-cially trained experts, who evaluate behaviour similar to a profiler, who give an opinion on whether one or more people are making threats, their next move, and the level of risk of the threat, said Cpl. Mike Dame, officer in charge of the Crime Re-duction Unit and Gener-al Investigation Section of Terrace RCMP.
“What they do is give an assessment, an opinion...a very educat-ed opinion,” said Dame.
Police will then use that to determine whether, for example, the college should be evacuated, he said.
The second and third threats received Nov. 22 and 26 were not as severe, so the college wasn’t evacuated like it was after a bomb threat Oct. 2, says Phil Saunders, director com-munications and PR at NWCC.
“We have an extra security guard that’s go-ing to be working in the evening,” said Saunders of the extra security measures the college took.
“We are comfortable and the RCMP are com-fortable with our assess-ment of that risk.”
Terrace RCMP me-dia relations and com-munity policing officer Const. Angela Rabut said the safety risk was less than the bomb threat.
“The Behavioral Analysis Unit and the
Terrace GIS Unit ana-lyzed the threats and determined the risk to be low at this time,” she said. “The most effec-tive security is the en-tire college students and faculty being vigilant and keeping an eye out
for anything suspicious.“We are working
with the college to keep everyone informed as to what is going on and to report anything suspi-cious.”
An emergency pro-tocol was in the pro-
cess of being set up at the college and after the bomb threat Oct. 2, the process was put in place, said Saunders.
The subsequent threats have been differ-ent kinds of threats but Saunders couldn’t give
many details.Whoever made the
bomb threat hasn’t been caught and there is nothing to show that the person is familiar with the college, he said.
On Oct. 2, someone emailed a bomb threat
to Northwest Com-munity College, which led to the college being evacuated for the day.
A bomb sniffing dog was called in and searched the build-ings and residences but didn’t find anything.

CITY COUNCILLOR Bruce Bidgood is re-turning as one of two city directors on the Kitimat-Stikine region-al district board.
He’ll be joined by Lynn Christiansen.
Mayor Dave Per-narowski, who was one of the city representa-tives last year, did not put his name forward when city council met Nov. 26 to decide on the appointments.
City council must name two regional dis-trict representatives ev-ery year.
Bidgood returns to board
Terrace Standard Wednesday, December 5, 2012 NEWS www.terracestandard.com A15
Last week, in this space, I talked about why we chose Kitimat as the site for Gateway’s marine terminal. This week, I’d like to discuss the various steps we’ve taken to prevent an incident on water, and the measures we’ve put in place to build a comprehensive marine safety plan for Gateway.
Safety starts with a tanker acceptance program that’s as stringent as any in existence — and includes an independent review of all tankers, weeks ahead of their scheduled arrival. Tankers mooring at the terminal will be double-hulled and no more than 20 years old, and will be required — by independent third parties, before they enter Gateway’s shipping channels — to show a sound maintenance and operational history. As they approach Kitimat, all vessels will be boarded and guided by B.C. Coast Pilots with expert knowledge of our coastal waters.
Simulations conducted in varying weather conditions have shown that the largest tankers can be safely navigated without the help of tugboats. Still, Gateway is adding a tug-escort system as an additional safety measure. The Douglas Channel is already one of the deepest and widest inland waterways on North America’s west coast, and Gateway’s tug-escort
system, according to risk assessment data, would reduce the already unlikely chance of a grounding incident by a further 80 to 90 per cent.
As another Gateway marine safety initiative, we’re introducing land-based radar to B.C.’s North Coast for the fi rst time. This radar system will be bolstered by extra navigational aides such as lights and channel markers. These enhancements aren’t just for Gateway — they are for all vessels on B.C.’s North Coast.
Groups who oppose this project use fear tactics. They’d have you believe an oil tanker spill is inevitable. It isn’t. But don’t take my word for it — visit our website and read for yourself about all the work that has gone into making Gateway’s marine operation one of the safest in the world. Then, decide for yourself what’s true.

■ Back homethree months passed quickly for four Quebec high school students here on a lan-guage exchange program. Julianne toupin, Camille savard, Catherine Albert and rox-anne Plante left for home nov. 30. they were hosted by four French immersion Caledonia students and next February, those students will travel to Quebec to spend three months living in the homes of their Quebec twins.
TWO TEENS who al-legedly tried to cut down a power pole out-side Caledonia Senior Secondary have been charged.
“Two young per-sons are at this point formally charged and facing a charge of mis-chief endangering life in relation to the alleged sawing of the hydro pole,” said Neil Mack-enzie, communications council for the Criminal Justice Branch of the provincial government. The two boys, ages 15 and 17, cannot be iden-tified under the Youth Criminal Justice Act.
Two boys were ar-rested Oct. 29 after wit-nesses called police at 2:48 a.m. to report two
figures in dark clothing doing what looked like trying to saw through a power pole outside the school, said police at that time.
The teens ran when they saw police but offi-cers followed and found two teens attempting to hide in bushes on the Howe Creek Trail and followed footprints in the snow to find a saw, said police.
Classes were can-celled for the day at Caledonia while BC Hydro crews replaced the pole. The cost to re-place the pole was more than $25,000, said BC Hydro at that time.
The case was ini-tially handled by pros-ecutors here but the file
has been transferred to Prince Rupert Crown council.
“It is my current understanding that this charge was in fact initially approved by Crown in the Terrace office,” said Mackenzie.
“A prosecutor in the Prince Rupert office, now responsible for the file, is reviewing the
case and will ultimately decide what charge or charges will proceed.”
There was a conflict of interest in the Crown office here so “Crown concluded that to avoid any perception of a con-flict in the circumstanc-es, it was appropriate to have the case handled by a different office,” he said.
Thefts at the poolTERRACE RCMP reported several thefts from the pool recently and some recovery of stolen items.
On Nov. 25 at around 8 p.m., a Dodge Ram was stolen and pants, truck keys, and a wallet were taken from a locker while the person was swimming.
On Oct. 29 between 7:30 p.m. and 8 p.m., some-one stole jeans, a coat, keys, and a wallet from a lock-er at the pool. The clothing was found but the keys were still missing Nov. 27, said police.
The Dodge Ram was found abandoned on Lower Dyke Rd. in Kitimat on Nov. 26 where it appeared to be stuck. It was towed to Kitimat RCMP and exam-ined by the Terrace Forensic Identification Section.
Some stolen ID was found in front of the North-ern Motor Inn. The sled deck was found in the west ditch of Hwy 37 near the hot springs Nov. 27. The sled deck ramp was found on the old bridge Nov. 25.

IN WHAT is hoped to be an annual event, workplace skills training pro-gram students at Northwest Com-munity College fought against bul-lying in their own way.
After hearing on the internet about the death of Amanda Todd – a Burnaby high school student who took her life after years of bul-lying – they decided to honour her memory by promoting an anti-bully awareness event at the college, espe-cially because college students use Facebook, where anyone could be vulnerable, said their instructor Pat Stone.
They chose Nov. 27th, which would have been Todd’s 16th birth-day, putting up posters they made in computer class.
Some posters were words and pictures, each uniquely put togeth-er by the student, as well as some Wordle posters that described with chosen words the effects of bullying.
They gave away Hershey kisses, pink hand shapes with Stop Bullying written on them, and about 100 pink yarn bracelets as a symbolic protest against bullying at two tables – one in the cafeteria building and one in the trades building.
Michael Jensen from the student union also provided pins for the stu-dents to hand out on anti-sexism, anti-racism, and anti-homophobia.

TWO LOCAL miners received an award for their reclamation work at an old mine.
Eli Christiansen and his partner Moril Daigle won the 2011 Placer Reclamation Award for a mining site the pair worked on near Douglas Creek for seven years.
“It feels great to be recognized for the work we’ve done,” said Chris-tiansen.
“This also helps to inform the public that mining does not neces-sarily destroy an area involved with mining operations.”
Christiansen, who has been plac-er mining for 35 years, said at the end of each season, all the dirt and ground that’s removed was put back to, or close to, its original state.
The award description and rea-sons said “... the work completed is deserving of recognition and sets an example of good practice for other placer operations throughout the province.”
And that the area “shows successful natural regrowth of alder and small fir trees that are native to the area” three years after the site was shut down.

THE NUMBER of people us-ing the Terrace Churches Food Bank in its first two months of its new year’ are down from last year.
October kicked off this round of food bank openings with about 40 fewer families than last year, calculated from the num-ber of bags handed out, accord-ing to food bank president John Wiebenga.
“We were 60 bags down from
last year,” he said. “Our opening week went well as lots of food came in during the summer from various food drives, and dona-tions from many local stores and businesses.
“The food donated usually needs sorting or bagging and shelving. We really appreci-ate all the help we get and one of the helping groups this fall was a Grade 7 class from Veritas School, who came to help bag
up 400 lbs. of potatoes, which had been donated by the Com-munity Garden.”
November was much the same as October with numbers down by 70 bags compared to the same period last year, said Wiebenga.
“We did have a number of new clients,” he added about November. December’s food bank hours are taking place this week.

Anna Martha (Pasch) Thodt, passed awaysuddenly at her home in Terrace, B.C. on Sunday,
November 18th, 2012. She was born to the late Josef and Gertrude Pasch on July 18th, 1933 in Hitdorf, Germany.
At the age of 18, Anna married Hans Guenter Peter Thodt on November 3rd, 1951 in Leverkusen, Germany. Life as Anna had
known it changed dramatically after this. In 1952 Anna and Hans celebrated the birth of their first child, a little girl they
named Erika. With the changing times Anna and Hans decided to make some changes themselves. Hans left his wife and daughter in Germany and moved to Canada in 1954 where
he gained employment and a new home in Kitimat for his family. In June 1956 Anna and Erika arrived on the east coast of Canada and traveled by train across the country to reunite with Hans in their new home. In a few short years the family again grew with the addition of their son Frank.
The first few years in a foreign country was a challenge for Anna with her limited English skills. She told of her many visits to the grocery store that ended with her coming home with the wrong items, as she was not familiar with the written language or the products in the stores. In time, with the help of many new life-long friends she had made in Kitimat, Anna conquered the language issues.
In 1958 the family relocated again, this time only a few short miles to Terrace. Here they bought a small home on Agar Avenue and did some major renovations to make it fit their growing family that soon included son’s Edward, Peter and daughter Rosalee. In 1978 Hans and Anna purchased 10 acres on North Eby. With the help of their children, they built a new home and turned the land into a small hobby farm. This included goats, geese, chickens, rabbits and a variety of fruits and vegetables that Anna took great pride in canning and preparing for her family. When not in the home effortlessly preparing large delicious meals for her family, Anna was usually tending to her beautiful flowerbeds or knitting something-or-other for one of the family.
Anna and Hans made their final move in 1999 downsizing to a small apartment. This last move allowed them more time to visit with their growing family that had spread out to Alberta, Ontario and Switzerland.
On November 3rd, 2008 Anna and Hans celebrated their 57th wedding anniversary. It was a love that endured to the end when Hans passed away a few short weeks later on November 26th, 2008.
Anna’s greatest joy in life was her family. She took pride in all their accomplishments and was there for all of the sorrows as well. She could always be depended upon as a source of unconditional support for anyone at anytime.
Anna was predeceased by her loving husband Hans Guenter Peter Thodt and son-in-law David Waywitka. She is survived by: sons Frank (Beatrice), Edward and Peter (Marilyn). Daughter’s Erika Waywitka and Rosalee Niznansky (John). Anna was blessed with several grandchildren; grandsons: Jason (Jen), Justin, Aiken & Julian, Tyler and Mathew; granddaughter Melissa-Anne and great-grandson Case.
Private interment was held at Terrace Municipal Cemetery on Monday, November 26th. Memorial donations may be made to the Terrace Community Foundation at 3100 Kalum Street, Terrace, B.C. V8G 4L1.
And though we cannot see you, you are always at our side”We would also like to thank Dr. Fourie and his staff for the wonderful carethey gave our beloved mother in her final days. Also Art Erasmus,Charlie Meeks, Terrace RCMP member’s and the Ambulanceattendants that so thoughtfully helped us in our time of grief.

Cara Anne Morton, born June 25, 1968 in Scarbor-ough Ont., died peacefully after a lengthy and coura-geous battle with cancer on November 18, 2012 in Terrace, B.C. Cara leaves behind: her children, Aila Morton and Adrian La Haie; husband Bruce La Haie; mother Anna Morton; and brothers Greg and Derek Morton. Predeceased by her father Ronald Morton.
Cara was passionate about sharing her experience as an artist and experimental fi lmmaker with local com-munity members, and advocated a do-it-yourself ap-proach to creating art, with particular interest in the cre-
ative process, over fi nal products. She will be missed by all who had the good fortune to meet her, whether at a Shutter to Think screening, laughter yoga, or out and about around town. Her family is grateful to friends and community, who have helped so much over the last while.
Service was held at Terrace Pentecostal Assem-bly on Nov. 23, 2012. Donations in memoriam
can be sent to Inspire Health.

Murdoch Robert MacIntyre Robertson
Born in Revelstoke, BC on April 14, 1926. Doch passed away peacefully on Nov. 18, 2012 with his family by his side. He is survived by his loving wife, Marion of 61 years; son Jarvis ( 51), daughter Fiona (44), grandson Jeffrey(17), and grand daughters Janes-sa(15) and Jennifer(13). His sister Ann Minty is still alive and living in Nepean, Ontario. He is pre-deceased by his mother Effi e and father Bill Robertson.
Doch started his law career with Brown and Harvey in Prince Rupert in 1951. He started his own law prac-tice here in Terrace in 1957 where he acted in many high profi le criminal law cases in this area. He moved into family law in the middle of his career and retired in 1995. He went on to have a book published called “A Touch of Murder Now and Then”, which highlighted his life as a Barrister in this area in the early days of Terrace. He was a member of the Rotary Club here in Terrace for most of his career, earning the Paul Harris Fellowship Award for his tireless years of community service. He served as Chancellor of the Diocese of Caledonia for over 35 years in the Anglican Church. After retiring from this service, he was bestowed the honour of Canon. His friends will miss his whimsical sense of humour and hilarious “one liners” that made everyone chuckle.
He grew up in Vancouver and spent many hours of his childhood riding with his father in the locomotive engine of the Royal Hudson. He graduated from UBC with his law degree in 1951, the same year that he married Marion ( nee Filmer). They moved North for “one year” and like it so much that they spent the rest of their married life here. He and Marion had 3 children: Jarvis , Geoffrey ( deceased), and Fiona.
Mom and family would like to thank Dr. De Bruin, all of the staff at Terraceview Copper Community, Father Ernest and Cory, and all of the support of the communi-ty during Dad’s fi nal days. A funeral was held on Nov. 22, 2012 at St. Matthew’s Anglican Church. In lieu of fl owers, donations may be made to the HOME Society 31581 South Fraser Way, Abbotsford, BC V2T 1T8.

Cards of Thanks My brother William Groo-tendorst was killed several kilometers north of Kitwan-ga in a single vehicle acci-dent on an extremely icy,
unsanded stretch of high-way on Oct. 29 when he
lost control of his company truck. I would like to ex-
tend my heartfelt gratitude to Eric Roy, an extraordi-narily kind man who did
everything in his power to save my brother. He
stayed with him as he died and for the hour it took un-til the ambulance arrived. Many others stopped to
offer what assistance they could. Most of you remain
unnamed but know you are all Good Samaritans and I offer you my sincer-est thanks for all you did for my brother. Hennie Aikman, Comox, BC.

Climbing wall nears completion
AnnA Killen PHOTOs
At top, fourth from right, Ben Matthias presides over the climbing rope cutting ceremony (a clever riff on your traditional ribbon cutting) Friday, Nov. 23 with community supporters. At right, Marcus Mat-theis and Landon Andrei test out the new wall.
AfTeR yeARS in the making, Caledonia Secondary School’s climbing wall is near the peak of completion, with only a few final steps to go before it will be in full use.
“It will be very nice to see it used to its full potential,” said Ben Matthias, the driving force behind the wall, at the wall’s ‘climbing rope’ cutting ceremony on friday, Nov. 23. “There’s still a lot of work to be done.”
That work includes finishing the wall—the top right corner was not fully finished—and implementing the new school district policy for safe use and maintenance of the wall.
Then, the wall will be made available to any school in the district —pending time and avail-
ability of the wall and a climbing wall coordinator.
And friday marked the first climbing coordinator class, with teachers and support staff from six schools in the district coming out to learn the lay of the wall so that it can be used safely and managed properly.
“We have many teachers who are anxiously awaiting starting climbing clubs and are working on a cross grade level club day where K-12 could share the wall,” he said.
“It’s a way of bringing young kids together with old kids,” he said. “And introduce them to the world of climbing.”
And what about the out-of-school climbing community?
The goal is to eventually open it up for community use.
“There are many factors that need to be addressed,” said Matth-ias, noting that there is a group of local climbers who have been meet-ing and brainstorming how to go about its use.
“We had one initial meeting at Caledonia during the initial con-struction of the wall to give an op-portunity for some of the climbers to meet each other, get together as a group, and see how they could work together to make that part hap-pen,” he said. “After all necessary components have been completed, times for usage will be set based on availability of the school facility.”
The wall’s construction was made possible by thousands of dol-lars donated by community groups and members, and the hard work of volunteers.
Big wins for Terrace at badminton tourney NeARly 40 Junior badminton players compet-ed here in Terrace at the Thornhill Junior Sec-ondary gym on Saturday, Nov. 24 for the annual junior badminton tournament.
Players hailing from Terrace, Kitimat, Prince Rupert—with one exchange student from Que-bec—took to the court, with some of Terrace’s most promising young athletes working their way to the top of the tournament with multiple wins.
The popular badminton program has group practices twice a week, and a handful of tourna-ments a year.
The junior program has been hosting tour-naments for about half a decade, but the adults program has been around for much, much lon-ger.
In this year’s junior tournament, matches were played in age categories between U10 and U16. for singles play, levi Kroeker of Terrace took the U10 boys division.
And Prince Rupert’s Jordan Truong was first
in the U12. Centennial Christian School’s evan Veldman
of Terrace took first place in U 14 boys. While Jake Blix of Terrace was first place in
the U16 category. for the girls, leah Julseth of Terrace took
the U10/12 top spot.And leona Truong travelled from Prince Ru-

After struggling with solid bam-boo salmon rods, Bob Clay re-alized that if he wanted build and sell two handed cane rods,
they had to be lighter. While honing his craft by assembling single handed fly rods, Bob had learned of E.C. Powell, the inno-vative bamboo rod builder from Maryville, California. Powell came up with a method of rod construction that involved stripping slabs of the dense outside fibres from the bamboo, gluing these to a strip of cedar, then sanding out a series of hollow sections up the length of the rod blank. This semi-hollowing, as Powell dubbed it, enabled the maker to construct a bamboo rod that was not only considerably lighter than oth-er long bamboo poles, but just as strong.
From the time of their introduction in the 1930s, E.C. Powell’s power poles, were used by the members of the Golden Gate Casting Club of San Francisco to take all sorts of casting competitions. Bob Clay’s bright idea was to employ Powell’s semi-hollowing process to two handed bamboo poles. A measure of how well he suc-ceeded is demonstrated by the fact that the wait for a Bob Clay two handed bamboo rod is now two years. Still, Bob’s is a niche market. Almost all two handed rods used by contemporary anglers are made of car-bon fibre or graphite, as was the case in the 1980s when Art Lingren, Mike Maxwell
and I were pretty much the only steelheaders casting two handed rods over the rivers in the this province.
At that time, Art was editing the Totem Top-ics, the newsletter of the Totem Flyfishing Club of Vancouver. I can’t recall whether the pub-lication was quarterly or monthly, but I do recall gleaning a lot of use-ful information about angling with double handed rods from the articles Art wrote for the Topics.
Mike Maxwell was a English expatriate with considerable experience with the two handed salmon rod. Mike had most of the Totem Flyfishers practising with two fisted fly rods at the pond in Burnaby’s Central Park, only blocks away from his Golden West Fly Shop where one could buy a copy of his treatise on Spey casting, complete with a video cassette from Mike’s lovely wife, Denise, who was a superb fly caster in her own right, or from the master him-self. The shop also carried Golden West Rods, built to Mike’s specifications by
the rod builders at the J. Kennedy Fisher plant and J.W. Young reels fa-voured by Mike, as well as a selection of his fa-vourite lines.
Mike and Denise bought a lodge on the Bulkley River where they conducted classes in Spey casting and Spey fishing. The latter was a designation that Mike coined along with the term Spey rods, which, in Mike’s native coun-try were known simply as salmon rods. His original inclination was to call his two handed poles steelhead rods, but
Mike realized that the traditional rods used by float fishers were already called that. Today there are Speyclaves and Speylines, and almost every steelheader wielding a long rod refers to the avocation as Spey fishing. Mike and Denise also promoted the use of double handed Spey rods from their lodge on the Bulkley River, where they conducted Spey fishing clinics and did some steelhead guiding.
Three decades ago, I spent an after-noon talking to Mike in his shop on Joyce
Road in Vancouver. At that time I was do-ing a decent job of manipulating my 15 foot Hardy salmon rod thanks to the many hours I spent trying to emulate an instruc-tional video by the famous English fisher, Hugh Faulkus. When I told Mike I was in-terested in two handed rods his face lit up.
What rod do your have? he asked.A 15 foot Hardy Favourite, I replied. It will do, he said, leaving me to with
the obvious inference that he thought his rods were superior. What reel?
A Hardy Salmon number 3, I replied. Don’t need anything that expensive,
Mike said. One of these will do, he added holding out a made by J.W. Young.
Mike then showed me some video of himself casting a long line on the Bulkley. I noticed that his technique required more body movement than Faulkus’s approach, which relied on the caster’s shoulders and arms, but in the result was pleasing and ef-fective in both cases.
Mike, who passed in 2004, probably contributed more to the Renaissance of two handed rods in British Columbia than any single individual, and, I suspect, since he was waving his long rods at tackle shows throughout the Pacific Northwest when ev-ery other steelheader was casting flies with single handed rods, that his influence may have extended south of the border too. ...Next week the American connection...

River KingsTHE TERRACE River Kings are hitting up Kitimat and Prince Rupert this weekend. They’ll meet the Demons on Friday, Dec. 7 night, and head to Rupert on Saturday, Dec. 8. The Kings have had a tough go this season, losing a couple of their top players to injury, but are looking to repeat their wins against Lac La Hache and Williams Lake late last month to bring them up in the standings before the break.
SwimmingTHE TERRACE Bluebacks swimming club will be travelling to Kitimat Dec. 14 - 15 for the annual Kitimat December Invitational. Watch out for athletes Angelina Filziakis, Jade Heathfield and Brayden Philips, who per-formed well at the team’s last meet in Prince George mid-November.
Jake Blix, who also won first place in the U16 Singles category, and partner Roxanne Plante, a Terrace/Que-bec exchange student, won the U16 mixed doubles.
Plante, who played badminton in her home-town, was here in Ter-race for three months, and left last Friday to travel back to Quebec.
The adult badminton program held a tourna-ment last weekend– look for those results in next week’s paper.
The club runs from September to April, where it rounds off the season with a combined juniors and adults tour-nament that sees many attend.

‘A little reality check’ for Midget rep girls in Kamloops
Contributed PHoto
Here Are the Midget Female reps after winning a tournament in Vernon early last month. They came in third in the Kamloops tournament they travelled to over the Nov. 24 weekend.
THE TERRACE Midget Female Reps broke their tournament winning streak over the Nov. 24 weekend in Kamloops, taking third place after falling to Red Deer in the semi-finals.
The weekend saw the team face off against some of the high-est ranked teams in the province, like the North Shore Avalanche and the Surrey midget girls team.
And the girls held their own, picking themselves up after a hard 5-1 loss to the number one ranked North Shore Avalanche to beat Surrey, the third ranked team, 5-1.
They then continued to prove they have Vernon’s number, beat-ing them 7-1, for their third win
against the team this year. Despite losing in the semi-
finals, something the team isn’t used to as they’ve been practi-cally undefeated in every tourna-ment this year, their coach, Mario Desjardins, says it was a “pretty successful weekend.”
“Overall the girls I thought had a pretty decent tournament, but didn’t play their best hockey collectively as a team,” he said.
“Certainly some room for im-provement. Maybe a little reality check.”
The team has just returned home from a trip to Prince George, where they were looking to redeem themselves. Look for those results in print next week.

AAnd the people oBritish Columbia have told us that we must exceed safety standards if it is to cross this beautiful province. We’ve heard their concerns
and have continually incorporated their feedback into our plans. We have added $500 million in extra safety measures–like thicker pipe, more isolation valves, meticulous pipeline construction techniques, and plans for around the clock monitoring by real people,
in real time, with sophisticated technology.
We will have advanced monitoring and response systems...Constant, diligent monitoring is vital for safe pipeline operation. Northern
Gateway will be monitored on-site and via the control centre 24/7, in
real time to allow operators to rapidly respond to any incidents. As
well, extensive geotechnical investigation and route planning
has taken place and this, combined with sophisticated
monitoring techniques, will provide protection against
geotechnical and other natural hazards. Pump stations in
remote areas will be staffed around the
clock. Dual leak detection systems
will be installed and remotely
operated isolation valves will be used,
increasing their number in BC by 50%.
We will use thicker pipe...Northern Gateway pipe will have
an average thickness of 0.80 inches.
That’s 20% over and above current
Canadian safety standard requirements
for the Northern Gateway Project. The pipe
will be even thicker when it crosses major rivers and tributaries.
It will be welded with exacting precision and its integrity checked
using ultrasonic inspection and hydrostatic testing methods. And
to ensure safe operation, the frequency of high resolution, in-line
inspection surveys will be increased across the entire pipeline system
by a minimum of 50% over and above current practices.
We will practice and be prepared for incidents...Our goal is always zero spills. To help achieve that, the
pipeline will be monitored from the air and the ground and
routinely inspected inside and out to identify and address
any integrity issues. But that doesn’t mean we will not
prepare for an incident. We will adhere to world-leading
practices for oil spill response and recovery systems. Emergency response equipment
and training will be provided and constantly updated and upgraded. Training exercises
with our own operations personnel and local emergency providers will be conducted on a
regular basis. Can we guarantee that there will never be a signifi cant pipeline failure? Our
original pledge to build a safe pipeline combined with further enhancements made after
hearing the concerns of British Columbians puts us closer than any other pipeline system
in the world to providing that guarantee.
We will respect wildlife habitats and migration routes... To address concerns from the public that the construction of the pipeline will affect the
environment, we have pledged to build it in such a way that natural wildlife habitats,
migration routes and fi sh spawning sites will be respected. During the building phase,
disturbances will be kept to a minimum by having construction vehicles access most of
the pipeline using existing forestry roads. Instead of building all new bridge structures, it
will use existing watercourse crossings where possible. When construction is completed
on each section, soil will be returned and shrubs and grasses native to the region will be
planted. If any large trees are removed to make way for the pipeline, a new tree will be
planted in another location as part of Enbridge’s commitment to plant a tree for every
tree we remove to build our projects.
Northern Gateway will be one of the safest energy pipelines because it’s been designed by engineers, safety experts and the people of British Columbia.
It’s more than a pipeline. It’s a path to delivering energy safely.
