PACIFIC NORTHERN Gas (PNG) wants to raise its rates next year, saying it needs more money to meet rising costs.
In an application for an interim price hike as of Jan. 1, PNG forecasts an overall in-crease per gigajoule burned of 4.4 per cent.
That works out to a hike, says PNG, of from $17.911 a gigajoule now to $18.699 a gigajoule in 2013.
Overall, PNG says it needs to charge cus-tomers another $600,000 in 2013.
It cites general inflation, wage increases of three per cent, hiring two new executives (at a cost of $180,000), a $146,000 execu-tive compensation program, initiated by new owners AltaGas of Calgary which is meant
to keep valued employees from moving on and $346,000 in fees to be paid to AltaGas as some of the reasons a rate increase is needed.
PNG does say that while the above may be regarded as new costs, in some places they replace costs that had been in place ear-lier.
One such example cited is the $346,000 fee to AltaGas with PNG saying it’s lower than what PNG might be paying out had it still been an independent company and not a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Alberta en-ergy company.
One cost item that won’t change as of Jan. 1 is the cost of natural gas itself – it’s to remain at the current rate of $3.375 a giga-
joule.That’s being regarded as about as low as
it can get after several years of price drops because of a sudden increase in supply across North America.
PNG isn’t allowed to put a mark up on what it pays for gas and simply passes that cost to its customers.
But when taxes, fees and assorted cost-plus factors are added, the true rate per GJ nudges $20.
The provincial Liberal carbon tax alone amounts to $1.490 a GJ or about 41 per cent of the actual cost of the natural gas itself.
PNG’s requested increase comes just af-ter a slight decrease it says will amount to $8
a month for both November and December.Although the BC Utilities Commission
did allow PNG a rate hike of $0.098 a giga-joule as of Nov. 1, a special account main-tained by PNG resulted in a credit of $0.595 a gigajoule, enough to offset that increase and result in a temporary decrease.
Whenever PNG collects more money than it told the utilities commission it origi-nally needed (chiefly arising when more gas is burned than anticipated), the excess is paid into this account.
PNG can then use the account to cushion future price hikes essentially by refunding money to customers it has already collected.

Northern B.C. bus service is key: inquiryTHE MISSING Women Commission of Inquiry released a report on Monday, Dec. 17, examining the “phenomenon” of missing and murdered girls and women in B.C.
The 1,448-page report, titled Forsaken, analyzes the cir-cumstances related to missing or murdered girls and women – many of First Nations descent – across the province.
The report largely focuses on the disappearances of more than 60 women, at least 26 of whom were murdered by serial killer Robert Pickton in Vancouver, over a 20-year period.
“The loss of life is staggering,” wrote Commissioner Wally Oppal, a former B.C. attorney-general who directed the public inquiry.
The disappearances and murders of girls and women along the Highway of Tears, which are the subject of an on-going RCMP investigation called Project E-PANA, is also reviewed extensively in the report.
“The number of missing and murdered girls in northern B.C. is unknown; people have been disappearing along the highway network of Highways 16, 97 and 5 for decades,” the report says.
“The vast spaces between communities acutely increase women’s vulnerability to violence given the lack of public transportation, and create additional challenges to the initial search and investigation of missing persons.”
Oppal recommended that an enhanced public transit sys-tem be developed “to provide a safer travel option connect-ing the Northern communities, particularly along Highway 16”.
Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure Mary Polak said work on the public transit recommendation will get un-derway after the holidays.

Whether you are going to a fancy work party, or a casual or traditional family get together, it is important to plan ahead and designate a driver for the day/evening. There are plenty of alternative beverages for the designated driver including non-alcoholic beers, for those who still enjoy the real taste of beer without the alcohol. Often party planners will make arrangements for guests to sleep over so that there is no risk whatsoever of people driving while under the in� uence of alcohol. If your host has organized a lift home for you either with a friend or by running you home themselves, accept graciously - remember if they didn’t want to do it they wouldn’t have offered. Please be advised that this year, motorists can expect to see increased traf� c enforcement in a number of locations, in particular Kitimat, Prince Rupert and Terrace. Motorist and passengers are reminded to make arrangements for a safe ride home if they plan to consume liquor. Also wear their seatbelts at all times, as they are less likely to be injured or killed in a motor vehicle collision if they are wearing their seatbelts. Traf� c Services will be working in partnership with your local detachment and other agencies to address Road Safety.

Shell says bye to headwatersBy Tom Fletcher
THE B.C. government has agreed to a $20 mil-lion compensation deal that will see Shell Can-ada give up a disputed coalbed gas tenure in the remote Klappan re-gion of northwest B.C.
Shell’s exploration of 4,000 square kilome-tres at the headwaters of the Skeena, Nass and Stikine Rivers has been opposed by the Tahltan Nation since the tenure was awarded by the province in 2004. The company drilled three exploration wells in the � rst year, which it now intends to decom-mission as it leaves the area.
The B.C. govern-ment has agreed to pro-vide Shell $20 million in gas royalty credits to compensate for its investment in the Klap-pan region. That is to be put towards a water recycling project that Shell is building to sup-ply hydraulic fracturing operations on its shale gas developments in the Peace River region of northeast B.C.
Coalbed gas ex-
traction has additional hazards because of salt-contaminated water that often surfaces with natural gas when coal deposits are drilled. Hydraulic fracturing can be used in coalbed development, but it is more extensively used in drilling deeper shale formations to extract natural gas.
“The Klappan is one of the most sacred and important areas for our people,” said An-nita McPhee, president of the Tahltan Central Council. “It is a place of cultural, spiritual, historic and social im-portance. Our people do not want to see it devel-oped, and we look for-ward to working with British Columbia on achieving that goal.”
McPhee added that the Tahltan have re-ceived offers of support from local, provincial, national and interna-tional organizations in their opposition to the development.
Shell Canada presi-dent Lorraine Mitch-elmore said the com-pany’s shale gas tenures in the northeastern
B.C. offer “better com-mercial and geological prospects,” and sustain-able water use is im-portant to that develop-ment.
Energy Minister Rich Coleman said shale deposits offer much greater gas vol-umes, in regions where roads and other infra-structure already exist.
Aboriginal Relations Minister Ida Chong said
the government is look-ing forward to further “government-to-gov-ernment” talks with the Tahltan over resource development in their entire traditional terri-tory.
Skeena Bulkley Val-ley MP Nathan Cullen praised this decision in a release distributed last week, drawing links between this withdrawn project and Enbridge.
“There’s a contrast here with Enbridge and the Northern Gateway pipeline, which poses tangible and unaccept-able risks to our homes and our environment,” said Cullen in a release. “Shell did the right thing. The only thing. We’re looking to En-bridge next to do the right thing, and respect the will of the commu-nity.”

The new figure is listed in the provin-cial crown corporation’s service plan for the years 2012 to 2015 and was posted to its website in February. it’s more than the range of prices provided in late 2010 – from $364 million to $525 million – and substan-tially more than the $404 million that was being commonly used in press releases and other government pronouncements for sev-eral years. The reason? More details, higher costs, says bC hydro official greg reimer.

NOT everybody is gifted with the ability to be brave in an emergency.
It’s one of the reasons people re-quest to have their seats switched when sitting beside the emergency exit on an aircraft and one of the rea-sons emergency teams like � re� ght-ers are hailed heroes when saving the lives of others in the face of danger.
And while in the above two exam-ples the need to respond under stress-ful or dangerous circumstances is foreseeably possible, encountering an event that begs stoic action isn’t so predictable for the every-day Joe.
But it happens. When timing mi-raculously aligns with circumstance, sometimes life asks regular Joes to act quickly and bravely. And through no fault or planning of their own, these Joes become heroes too.
John Tyler, Jake Tyler and Dale Hession are shining local examples. The men saved the life of Kitimat resident Bobby Weir by pulling him from a crashed, burning vehicle sec-onds before it was too late. Weir’s passenger Kevin Dawson is a hero too, surmounting injuries and shock to � nd help and add to rescue efforts.
And then there are youths Pat-rick and Nickolas Hamer along with Dayne and Parker Wright, who sprung into action to put out � re that burned two men — Jess Hansen and Murray Hamer — on a Thornhill farm, saving their lives.
These every-day Joes, both young and old, became unexpected heroes.
And blessed are many that they re-sponded, bravely, in an emergency.

As I write this, an o u t - o f - b o u n d s snowboarder has been lost on Van-
couver’s Cypress Mountain for two days while North Shore Search and Rescue slog through 49 cm of fresh snow toiling only 10 to 15 metres in 30 minutes. Ava-lanche conditions are high, putting searchers and snow-boarder in extreme danger.
Sunday he had been snow-boarding with friends but chose to go out of bounds by himself. Two no-nos.
Two helicopters, including a Cormorant, were brought in; poor visibility grounded them part time. About supper time tonight a helicopter was sent in to pick up a ground search party that had been dropped off yesterday and move them closer to fresh tracks spotted late this after-noon.
He is in a steep ravine from which it may take three hours to carry him up or long-line him out by helicopter in the dark tonight.
The snowboarder is close to the ocean, meaning he has traversed a good portion of the mountain, though the rule is When lost, stay put. He is wearing a white jacket, and
not carrying even an orange garbage bag to make him vis-ible among the trees. His cell phone is dead.
Too many outdoor enthu-siasts leave their common sense at home and venture out to hike, ski, or snowboard often out-of-bounds despite clearly posted limits. They fail to consider how Search and Rescue risk their lives every time they are called out to save the neck of some ill-equipped, completely unpre-pared individual who either hikes off at sundown in run-ning shoes, shorts and a tee shirt in March or ducks under boundaries to be the � rst to leave tracks in fresh snow,
armed only with enthusiasm, “Happy as if they had brains,” my Uncle Gordon would say.
Walking with my dogs this afternoon through “back country” where tall hemlocks sway in a light breeze and the only sounds are the oc-casional squeak of one trunk rubbing on another and our footsteps swishing through two inches of powdery snow, I considered this snowboard-er’s situation.
While I was fenced in by plowed streets on three sides and a mountain on the east side, he has no boundaries other than maybe a ravine or a stream. Even the sounds of traf� c were absent, muf� ed by the fresh snow. He would have heard only overhead he-licopters or planes. Not much guidance from them.
If, by some � uke of weath-er, a blinding blizzard struck erasing all markers, I could leash my dogs and trust them to guide me home. What help has the snowboarder got to keep him on course? Not a thing that I know of or can imagine. I’d be surprised if he’s carrying so much as a compass.
Two weeks ago a Mani-toba hunter survived 23 days lost in dense bush with an
apple for food, a few match-es, and a dead cell phone. He lost 40 pounds and may have sustained permanent damage to his feet. Did anyone learn from his experience?
Or tune in to Global TV News any evening to see Tim Jones of North Shore Search and Rescue listing backcoun-try safety precautions.
Does anyone heed Jones’ precautions? Guess not.
You’d think after the many instances of people being found in the bush, de-hydrated, hypothermic, with frozen � ngers and toes that led to amputation, that the next outdoor nut would dem-onstrate better judgment. But no. Each one starts afresh, deliberately ignoring danger signs, scof� ng at precau-tions, and blithely expecting Search and Rescue personnel and pilots to risk their safety, donate family time and tax-payer funded equipment and gasoline to save them from themselves.
I agree Search and Rescue should wait 72 hours before initiating a search, and charge rescue costs to survivors. If they don’t survive, oh, well. At least no one would have to search for them a second time.
Preparation is key to survival
The Mail Bag
How is it that humans have progressed so rapidly in science, mathematics, and en-
gineering, yet we continue to ex-hibit behaviors that result in mis-understanding, suspicion, bigotry, hatred, and even violence in our dealings with other people and with other cultures?
That haunted one of the found-ers of the field of general seman-tics, Alfred Korzybski, all his life.
His most penetrating insight concerns how humans use (and misuse) language to generate our models of the world. Korzybski’s repeated dictum, “The map is not the territory,” is a succinct ob-servation that our models of the world often fail dramatically to represent its true nature.
In this way he was like Con-fucius, who argued, “A superior man, in regard to what he does not know, shows a cautious reserve. If names be not correct, language is not in accordance with the truth of things. If language be not in ac-cordance with the truth of things, affairs cannot be carried on to
success.”Therapeutic practitioners of
Neuro-Linguistic Programming attune themselves to destruc-tive language models that cause neurosis. Humans’ tendencies to generalize experience, to distort it, or to ignore it altogether can be observed in the ways in which we report it. Unconscious opera-tion of these processes often leads to the kinds of suspicion, bigotry and violence that Korzybski’s question addressed.
Political speech is ripe with the blurry human modeling. Of-ten such speech is riddled through with religious referents, such as, “God Bless America,” or “Al-lahu akhbar!” Even the Nazis had “Gott mit uns” stamped on their military belt buckles.
Political slogans often depend on sentimental group identifica-tion or witticisms to capture at-tention, but they rarely function as more than linguistic fingers pointing in the vague direction of potential party policies. They’re rather warm, simple, meaningless fuzzies.
In the 2011 Canadian Fed-eral election the Conservatives claimed to be “Here for Canada,” here being where, exactly? The Greens told us that, “It’s time.” Yes? For what? The NDP were “Working for Families,” but what about all the single people? The Liberals offered, “Change we need, from a proven team.” Well, if a party didn’t offer change, how would it ever oust a sitting gov-
ernment?Occasionally slogans have left
themselves open to acidic parody, as in the 1964 American election when Republican Barry Goldwa-ter’s slogan, “In your heart, you know he’s right,” was reworked by his opponents to, “In your guts, you know he’s nuts.”
In 2008 Obama repeated the slogans “Change you can believe in,” (which many voters would argue was a hollow promise), and “Yes, we can,” a meaning-less assertion made revealing mostly by what it left out. Most recently Mitt Romney hectored Americans to “Believe in Amer-ica,” as if America exists only for the faithful. This just in: the Prime Minister’s Office uses “the Harper government” rather than “the Government of Canada” in its press releases; just an accident, I’m sure.
Visual and auditory symbols suggest linguistic models, and compel (or at least strongly influ-ence) our behavioral responses, a fact well understood by those wishing to manipulate us. Corpo-
rate brands decorate (some would say despoil) our everyday land-scape, nudging our memories’ pleasure reflexes and alerting us to “needs” we had forgotten to at-tend.
Repetitive pledges, tortured anthems, and mumbled creeds replace thought (and certainly anything as subversive as doubt). As Paul Simon sang, “In my little town, I grew up believing God keeps his eye on us all; and He used to lean upon me, as I pledged allegiance to the wall.” How long have we been standing on guard for Canada?
While the general popula-tion stumbles along, those with more certain agendas set interest rates, sign trade deals and no-bid contracts, slide through tax favours, order drone strikes, and trim public services. The rest of us nervously select lottery tick-ets and roll up our Tim Hortons rims, looking for changes we can believe in, disappointed optimists to the last.

And what’s that supposed to mean anyway?

AL LEHMANN
Dear Sir:December 31st marks not only the end of a once-
new year but also the official end of the Kyoto era. Kyoto, lest we forget, was the first — and so far
only — international treaty on how Earth’s peoples treat the air we all breathe. So, how did it go ?
Canada, unique among earthly nations in having a Harper government, proved also unique in being the only nation to quit the club.
Probably just as well. We sure weren’t going to collect any prizes for over-achievement.
While the rest of the signatories managed to re-duce their emissions by an average of 16 per cent, Canada’s emissions (thanks principally to the Al-berta tar barons) actually ROSE 17 per cent.
Something to celebrate December 31st. Thanks awfully, Right Honourable Mr. Prime Minister, sir!
John How, Terrace, BC
It’s the end of an era...
Thornhill resident warns tenantsContributed PHoto
OperatiOns On alberta’s tar sands, pictured above, contribute to Canada’s carbon emissions.
Dear Sir:I rented a lovely home, paid my rent on
time and kept it clean, and worked on the yard. My husband and teenaged daughters loved it. We were happy and life was good.
After living in the home for well over a year, the landlord went bankrupt and the mortgage was not being paid. My lease had already been renewed so I was not too wor-ried. I had the Landlord Tenant Act to pro-tect me.
In July, I was served with court papers letting me know about the upcoming fore-closure.
Wanting to be sure that I was doing the
proper things, I called the bank lawyer’s office listed on the court papers to see if I should be looking to move and who was I to pay the rent to.
I was told by the bank’s lawyers not to worry, to continue paying my landlord as per my rental contract, and that the bank would give me plenty of notice to move. It would take months to get through the courts.
The Landlord Tenant Act states that if you are evicted for a landlord’s personal use of the property (not through default on rent and such) that a tenant will get two months written notice and a month’s rent free for moving costs or paid out equivalent to one
month’s rent. If there is no damage the ten-ant will also get the damage deposit returned with interest.
This did NOT happen for me. On Dec. 5, 2012, I received a court order
saying the bank required “immediate vacant possession.” I was shocked and afraid and called the bank’s lawyers right away. The lawyers told me that they expected me to be out of the house by Jan. 3, 2013.
They would NOT be giving me my dam-age deposit (even though I have proof I paid it) they would NOT be giving me two months to find new accommodations and they would NOT be giving me one month rent free or the
monetary equivalent.I immediately phoned the landlord ten-
ancy branch to find out if this could be done to me and my family.
The answer, sadly, was yes. Foreclosures go through the Supreme
Court of British Columbia and trump the Landlord Tenant Act. Everyone kept saying “foreclosures are different and have different rules!”
I was a good tenant, I did all the right things, paid on time and I got shafted. I’m unhappy, and, as you know, rentals are few and far between.

I have found a teeny tiny two bedroom place to move into. It’s very cute and will do the job and I can keep my cats. One of my daugh-ters has been forced to find her first apartment (time to grow up) and I have to sell half of my belongings. I am owed approximately $1275 rent and damage depos-it. I will never see it.
Tenants be fore-warned, if your landlord stops paying their mort-gage, start looking for a place to live right away and don’t pay your rent because your rights are
not protected what so ever. Happy holidays!
P.S. Christmas is cancelled at our house this year...thank you Royal Bank of Canada!

Post-holiday green tipsBy nOw, many of us have started to mini-mize our footprint dur-ing the holiday season, from avoiding dispos-able gift wrap, to choos-ing gifts that have less packaging.
Despite our attempts to minimize excess waste leading up to and during the holidays, there is usually still a bit of the inevitable af-termath: leftover pack-aging, food, and finding a new home for gadgets, toys and electronics that have been upgraded or replaced.
The good news is that B.C. is a leader for Extended Producer Re-sponsibility (EPR) pro-grams, which put the onus on producers to take full responsibility for the collection and re-cycling of their products and packaging. EPR pro-grams cover everything in B.C. from paint to bat-teries! B.C.’s expanded electronic-waste pro-grams is the first of its kind in north America.
Below is a quick review of some of the recycling options for the most common items you may need to recy-cle during the holiday season. This list is by no means exhaustive; please refer to the Re-cycling Council of BC website for all EPR and recycling options avail-able in the Terrace area.
Batteries & Cell Phones: City Hall (3215 Eby) or see www.call-2recycle.ca for a full list of drop-off options. Cardboard, Plastic and Paper Packaging: waste Management Commu-nity Depot (4430 Keith), Do your Part Recycling (3220 River Dr.)
Electronics, bottles and most countertop ap-pliances: Terrace Bottle & Return-It Depot (3100 Kalum) Used furniture, building materials and working appliances: Core Store (3111 Kalum Street – Coop Property)
Take notice of what is leftover this holiday season. Are you still
producing more waste than during other times of the year? Feeling a little overwhelmed by the amount of stuff you have received?
Start talking now among friends and fam-ily to come up with al-ternative gift ideas for
next holiday season (i.e. experiences versus physical presents) and ways to further reduce the amount of waste produced in your house-hold throughout 2013.

Gas rates set to rise in new year
But if less money is collected, customers can be billed more to make up for a revenue short-fall.
As of Jan. 1, PNG says it can still provide a cushion from this ac-count, but one that’s only $.111 a gigajoule.
The utilities commis-sion usual practice is to grant requests for inter-im rates which are then made permanent or are adjusted during hearings held later on in the year.
In contrast to PNG’s rates, those just approved for interior BC custom-ers of Fortis BC, the province’s largest natu-ral gas supplier, are ap-proximately half of what people here pay despite an increase on the deliv-ery end.
That increase now means Fortis customers in the interior will be paying approximately $5 a GJ to deliver gas and $2.997 a GJ to buy the gas itself.
That works out to a combined delivery and commodity price of just under $8 a GJ, roughly half that paid in north-western BC.
Northwest gas users can look to the collapse of heavy industry here as the cause of regional de-livery cost rate increases over the years.
The closure of two pulp mills, several saw-mills and an ammonia and methanol plant in Kitimat, Prince Rupert and Terrace, severely re-duced the amount of gas flowing through PNG’s pipeline and with it, the amount they were paying to use the pipeline.
That left residential and remaining business-es to shoulder more and more of the cost of main-taining the line and other PNG facilities.
The only chance of reducing the natural gas price for northwestern residents is the construc-tion of the smallest of the planned LNG plants in the region.
Variously called BCLNG or the Douglas Channel Energy – the Haisla First Nation has an equity stake – this project involves a float-ing plant just offshore to liquefy natural gas for export to Asian markets.
Feeding the floating plant would take up the large surplus capacity of PNG’s existing pipeline and generate the kind of
revenue needed by the gas utility to ease the rates for its existing cus-tomers.
BCLNG has passed all of the various envi-ronmental approvals and even has a gas export licence from the federal government.
But there’s no word yet on when the project will proceed.
BCLNG did take out a 90-day vessel charter option the end of No-vember with a company called Golar for two new LNG carriers.
The BCLNG floating project would cost an es-timated $400 million to $600 million.
“PNG is increas-ingly optimistic that this project will proceed as planned causing the pipeline to be fully uti-lized and generating ap-proximately $15 million per year in revenues,” said PNG official Janet Kennedy. “After taking into account some in-cremental operating and capital costs, this project should result in great benefits to PNG custom-er,” she said.
Thank you B.C. for digging safely in 2012This year, more calls to BC One Call for natural gas pipeline information and safe digging practices resulted in fewer pipeline hits.

Greyhound responds to inquiry call for bus“In the new year
we will start targeted consultation at first in-volving stakeholders involved in regional transit like local govern-ment, community lead-ers and First Nations... Part of that is born out of the way regional transport operates in the province. Currently all regional operations do involve local govern-ments,” she said.
“From that I think we’ll be able to scope out an overall consulta-tion strategy that is a bit broader. We’re hopeful to have the initial phase concluded by the sum-mer of 2013, and a key piece of that is to really get a handle on what could be done in the re-gion. The good news is that a lot of work has al-ready been done along the corridor and study-ing it.”
Polak also said she is aware of concerns about the impact a public transportation system could have on the operations of Grey-hound, the only private bus service operating in northern B.C.
“It is something we will have to pay close attention to because we don’t want to damage any of the existing ser-vices or reduce the level of those services,” she
said.Greyhound has al-
ready applied to B.C.’s Passenger Transporta-tion Board for a reduc-tion in service in the northwest.
The company now runs 11 buses east-bound and 11 west-bound each week for a total of 22 along Hwy16 between Prince George and Prince Rupert but
should its reduction ap-plication be accepted, that frequency could drop to just one each way each day or 14 a week.
Greyhound BC pas-
senger service manager Grant Odsen said a collaboration between the province and Grey-hound in light of the re-port’s recommendations is a possibility.
“If they were to ap-proach us we would be more than happy to dis-cuss those options with them,” he said.
The passenger Transportation board
hasn’t yet approved or declined the Greyhound service reduction appli-cation, with staff there saying that decision won’t come until the new year.
THe BROTHeR of murdered teen CJ Fowler was involved in a traffic incident and as of late last week and is in Vancouver hospital with a brain injury.
Around 5 p.m. on Dec. 15 he was hit by the side mirror window of a passing truck while he was a pedestrian, ac-cording to an RCMP re-lease. The 30-year-old driver of the truck was sober and cooperative with police.
S ix teen-yea r-o ld CJ Fowler was found murdered in Kamloops earlier this month. Her death is still under in-vestigation, with po-lice releasing last week surveillance footage of her leaving a Kamloops hospital near 3 a.m. the morning of her murder.
Her 20-year-old brother was in Terrace from Prince George for the funeral.

Pacific Northern Gas (N.E.) Ltd.Application for Approval of 2013 Revenue Requirements
for the PNG-West Service Area
NOTICE OF REVENUE REQUIREMENTS APPLICATION
THE APPLICATIONOn November 30, 2012, Pacific Northern Gas Ltd. (PNG) filed its 2013 Revenue Requirements Ap-plication with the British Columbia Utilities Commission (Commission), pursuant to sections 58 to 61, 89 and 90 of the Utilities Commission Act (Act) seeking Commission approval to, among other things, increase delivery rates as a result of increases in cost of service and decreased deliveries to some customer classes (Application). The Application also seeks interim relief to allow PNG to amend its rates on an interim and refundable basis, effective January 1, 2013, pending the hearing of the Ap-plication and orders subsequent to that hearing.
The delivery rate increase is estimated to be approximately $0.256 per GJ for a residential customer. This represents an increase of 2.2 percent compared to the 2012 delivery rate. The delivery rate increase for a small commercial customer is estimated to be $0.203 per GJ corresponding to an increase of 2.1 percent compared to the 2012 delivery rate. The Granisle propane delivery rate increase for a residential customer is estimated to be $0.167 per GJ corresponding to an increase of 2.6 percent compared to the 2012 delivery rate.
Based on the gas cost recovery and GCVA rate riders effective November 1, 2012 thru December 31, 2012 the overall average bundled rate increase for a typical residential customer consuming 68.2 GJ per year, is 4.4 percent, an increase of $54 per year. Similarly, for a small commercial cus-tomer consuming 314.0 GJ per year, the increase is 4.8 percent or $230 per year, and for Granisle propane customers consuming 56.0 GJ per year the overall average bundled rate increase is 0.7 percent, an increase of $9 per year.

By Anna Killen
A child who has been out of school for over a month is back in class after a months-long dispute between the child’s mother and forces in the school district – a battle that is still ongoing.
The parent, who will remain unnamed to protect the identity of the child, pulled her two children out of a Terrace school follow-ing what she alleges is bullying, teacher-mis-conduct, and misman-agement by the school’s administrators.
The trouble started in September when the parent alleges a teach-er maltreated her child after an incident with another student.
She raised her con-cerns to the school’s administrators and met with officials at the coast Mountains School district, who attempted to remedy her concerns via a ser-ies of meetings and action-plans directed at improving how the child felt at school.
But the mother was not satisfied with the re-sponse, saying her child no longer felt safe at the school and needed to change schools.
her child has a his-tory of behavioural issues. But these had been improving signifi-cantly over the last few years, she said.
She claims the al-
leged incident with the teacher and incidents at the school in the weeks that followed acted like a turning point, revers-ing the child’s progress.
“he cries very easy,” she said, noting this was normal behaviour a couple of years ago, but had stopped after sessions with a child psychologist. “Those behaviours have started up again.”
And so she pulled her two children out of school on Oct. 31 and continued to lobby for a school change. She also attempted to enrol her children in private school.
But changing schools in the district mid-year is not always easy, especially for children who require extra help, as staff-ing requirements and class-composition have already been estab-lished.
“The government has cleared that stu-dents can attend any school in the district, as long as there is room,” said dave Bartley, dir-ector of instruction, learner support for the district.
Room involves the number of children in the classroom, but also classroom composition, he said.
“Our job is to try to make sure we have stu-dents in the appropriate program. We often have parents who want their children to attend dif-
ferent schools, different classrooms, and to the degree that we’re able to accommodate that, we do,” he said, noting that the district fulfilled its responsibilities in providing an education-al program for the stu-dents in question.
“The parent [chose] for them not to attend that school,” he said.
But earlier this month the school board made good on its efforts to find an-other school for the child, although the child’s younger sibling will be home-schooled until other arrange-ments can be made in the new year.
“We’re going to give it a try, see how [my child] does there. hopefully it will work out better,” said the mother.
“We met with the principal and the vice-principal and it looks like it will work ... [my child] seems very happy there.”
But the moth-er’s fight is not over. She has filed a com-plaint with the Min-istry of Education about her and her child’s experience with the former-teach-er, is gathering letters of support from other parents and members of the community, and is considering filing a civil suit.
“i do have a lawyer now, but i can’t meet with her until Janu-
ary,” she said, noting it has taken time to find people to help her.
“i finally feel like i’m getting somewhere will all of this.”
The branch of the Ministry that deals with teacher-misconduct is the Teacher Regulation Branch (TRB).
The TRB commis-sioner, an independ-ent statutory decision
maker, reviews each complaint or report re-garding the conduct or competence of a certifi-cate holder and decides which process will be used to deal with each report or complaint made under the Teach-ers Act.
According to the ministry, the regulating body average about 36 complaints a year.
The cMSd is un-able to comment on the alleged misconduct, cit-ing privacy issues. The teacher is currently on a leave of absence from the school.
The parent says she has also received a let-ter from the district stat-ing she is not allowed on district property, but says she will be fighting the ban as well.

I n the short span of thirty years the sport of steelhead-ing has changed
markedly. The most dramatic change has been in the execution of the sport itself. When it comes to wild steel-head, steelheading has changed from a blood sport to a bloodless sport.
Three decades ago, anglers who pursued steelhead with a fly rod were a small subset of all steelheaders. In the second decade of the 21st century fly fish-ing for steelhead with a fly is in the ascendancy and its practitioners are in the majority. In the 1970s and 1980s only a handful of flyfishing steelheaders used a two handed rod – now it’s rare to see a steelheader without one.
Last steelhead sea-son I made more trips up the Zymoetz River than I normally do, car-rying a counter and do-ing more counting than fishing to get and rough ready assessment of the angling pressure un-der the recent changes flowing from the Qual-ity Waters Process. On weekends, my counts averaged 50 anglers per day. On weekdays, when the river was open to anyone with a fishing license and a steelhead stamp, the daily counts averaged about a dozen more than that. Of the hundreds of steelhead anglers I observed, only one, excluding myself, was brandishing a sin-gle handed pole.
When it comes to reels, a few of us still
arm our fly rods with old winches made by the House of Hardy. They are good machines, aesthetically pleas-ing and mechanically sound, these Perfects, St. Johns, St. Georges, and the Salmon series, but our fidelity to them is more nostalgic than practical.
I own a dozen old Hardy reels and three modern reels, two made under the Grays impri-matur and one manu-factured for Fenwick. These last three, all as-sembled in Asia, carry modern lines more comfortably on their wide drums, have a smoother drag than any old reel with which I’ve fished, and, because of their light weight, are better matched with contemporary carbon fibre rods. Other than being too quiet for old ears when fighting fish, these new fangled cranks are superior to their predecessors.
Modern steelheaders have vastly improved wading equipment at
their disposal too. When I began at-
tempting to entice steel-head to a fly, I wore rubber waders built for use in the Eastern mines with rubber treads that resembled those used on deck boots that had no belt around their waist. Years later we moved to neoprene waders whose use the renowned steel-head guide, Steve Perih, accurately character-ized as akin to fishing in a sleeping bag. In comparison, today’s steelheader wears light, breathable, belted wad-ers with neoprene feet that slip into all manner of felted and studded, hard toed footwear.
In earlier columns in this series, I alluded to the primitive lines of yore. Now, thanks to Jim Vincent, John Ha-zel, and their country-men, and to the innova-tive Brits at AirFlo, the array of easily cast spe-ciality fly lines is almost bewildering. So much so, in fact, that the vari-ety of lines is tending to make the sport too tech-nical and unnecessarily complicated.
As is the case with reels and lines, two handed steelhead rods are vastly superior to the old poles in terms of practicality and cost. One of the big breakthroughs is that long rods have become shorter. This is a good thing insofar as ease of landing a steelhead or salmon is inversely pro-portionate to rod length. (Try landing a 15 pound steelhead with a 15 foot rod without dragging it up on the beach to test
this assertion.) The ap-pearance of switch rods eleven feet in length, and a host of shorter Spey rods of 12 and 13 feet is a significant step forward in this regard.
My first shorter double hander was an 11 foot sage. The $700 price tag was a bit of a jolt, but picking it off Randy Murray’s rod rack and giving it a wiggle was all it took to bring me to the re-alization that here was the ideal rod for fishing summer steelhead with small nymphs and even dry flies, yet capable of turning over heavier irons on sinking heads in the dead of winter.
Not knowing any better, I put a Rio Ver-sitip 8 weight fly line intended for a single handed rod on an old Hardy St. John and bolted it to the reel seat of my new short long
rod. This setup was fine until I cast a Scandi-navian line on Jimmy LaTie’s 11 foot rod over the Ostrich Run at Ce-darvale. Here was a line that cast well at short distances yet was capa-ble of blasting a fly out 90 feet with ease when the occasion demanded.
With YouTube and Google, superbly de-signed Spey rods, custom lines for all situations, breathing raincoats, light weight waders, and boots that stick to slippery rocks like Velcro, catching a steelhead on a fly rod has never been easier. The challenge has been diminished, but, as Rod Haig-Brown pointed out a long time ago, when the challenge is diminished, the sport is too.
Rob Brown’s column will return the week af-ter next.
