PM rejects claims pipeline will be pushed throughBy Tom FletcherTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

VANCOUVER - Prime Minis-ter Stephen Harper has reject-ed suggestions his government is considering pushing through the proposed Northern Gate-way oil pipeline across northern B.C.

Harper was asked about En-bridge Inc.’s pipeline project at a stop in Vancouver Tuesday, and the frequent accusation that he has already decided it is in the national interest for it to proceed.

“I’ve been very clear that de-cisions on these kinds of projects are made through an independent evaluation conducted by scien-tists into the economic costs and risks that are associated with the project,” Harper said.

“I think that’s the only way

governments can handle controver-sial projects of this manner, to ensure that things are eval-uated on an inde-pendent basis, sci-entifi cally, and not simply on political criteria.”

Harper told re-porters he has spo-ken with B.C. Pre-mier Christy Clark and other premiers about pipelines, but those conversations are pri-vate. It’s his fi rst public comment since a dispute erupted between Clark and Alberta Premier Alison Redford in July over Clark’s de-mand for more revenues.

“I’m not going to get into an

argument or discus-sion about how we divide hypothetical revenues,” Harper said.

He did empha-size that in general, it is important for Canada to diversify its trade and open up new markets in Asia. The federal govern-ment is planning “huge investments” to improve environ-mental protection for

shipping resource material, but it won’t favour any individual proj-ect, he said.

Kinder Morgan hopes to twin its existing oil pipeline from Al-berta to port and refi nery fa-cilities in Burnaby, to transport

more heavy oil from the Atha-basca oil sands. But the com-pany has not yet formally ap-plied for federal environment assessment.

Clark initially said her gov-ernment would wait until the fed-eral assessment of Enbridge is concluded in 2013 before decid-ing whether to support it. Then in late July, the B.C. government presented a list of fi ve precondi-tions, including a positive recom-mendation from the federal re-view.

The others are “world-lead-ing” oil spill prevention and re-sponse capability on land and at sea, meeting legal requirements to consult and accommodate ab-original groups along pipeline routes, and a “fair share” of oil revenues for B.C.

“I think that’s the only way governments can handle controversial projects of this manner.”

Woman saves partner’s lifeBy Martina PerryTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - It started out as a nightmare; Prince Rupert’s Betsy Smith noticed her partner of 17 years, Robert Milton, wasn’t breathing.

It was a situation Smith had already been through before that didn’t end well. But what at fi rst seemed like a nightmare turned out to a heroic story of what people are capable of in an emergency.

Not only is Milton alive and well today, the BC Ambulance Service has also honoured Smith with the Vital Link award over the weekend for her ac-tions.

“This was round two for my mother,” says Bet-sy’s daughter Violet Baker. “She had tried to revive my father who died of a heart attack in 1991. Even without knowing how to do CPR, this time, she was much more collected.”

On April 29, 2012, Milton was lying in bed when Smith noticed that his breathing patterns had changed, and then there was silence; he had stopped breathing completely. She immediately called 9-1-1 and the BC Ambulance Service dispatcher began giving her instructions to begin cardio pulmonary re-suscitation (CPR). A terrifying task for Smith to do considering the last time she was in this situation she was not able to save her husband.

“Betsy Smith performed CPR for approximate-ly 10 minutes while paramedics were en route,” says paramedic Mike Sorensen. “The actions of bystand-ers during those fi rst critical minutes are so impor-tant to the survival and recovery of cardiac patients.”

When BC Ambulance Service paramedics and Fire Department fi rst responders arrived to the scene they administered two shocks to Milton’s heart be-fore transporting him to the hospital.

Although Milton was in the hospital for around a month after his cardiac arrest, today he is alive and well thanks to his partner’s quick actions.

“I don’t want to be thought of as a hero, it’s just nice to know that I’ve got my sweetie with me be-cause of what I did,” Smith told the Prince Rupert Northern View.

On Saturday, August 4, there was a Vital Link Award ceremony held at the BC Ambulance Ser-vice Station in Prince Rupert. In attendance were BC Ambulance Service dispatchers and paramedics, Fire Department fi rst responders and plenty of Smith and Milton’s proud family members. Smith said she never expected to be recognized for something like this in her life, and will treasure her award.

Each year there are approximately 50 Commu-nity Awards presented by the BCAS to thank mem-bers of the public for performing bystander CPR and quickly responding to the needs of others in an emer-gency.

The BCAS estimates that they attend around 2,400 to 2,800 cardiac arrests a year in the province, with only 12 per cent of British Columbians who suffer a cardiac arrest surviving.

By Samantha GarveyTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

TERRACE - The Northwest Fire Cen-tre is reminding residents to put out their campfi res after a human-caused fi re in the northwest late July.

During a period with high fi re dan-ger ratings – starting the last weekend of July and continuing through to August – a campfi re that wasn’t completely put out lit fi re to its surrounding area.

The fi re was reported by a hiker be-fore it grew out of control, according to the Northwest Fire Centre, which is re-sponsible for forest-fi re protection in this region of B.C.

Since July 14, there have been nine abandoned campfi res in the northwest re-gion, with three of those in Terrace, said the centre’s information offi cer Lindsay Carnes.

“We were pretty disappointed to come across abandoned campfi res two weeks in a row,” said Carnes. “It’s time for people to smarten up.”

Dry fuels caused by drier, hotter tem-peratures mean a higher risk of fi res, said Carnes. And with recent sunny and warm

conditions, provincial Wildfi re Manage-ment Branch offi cials have a few tips for campfi re vigilance.

“Remember that campfi res cannot be larger than a half-metre wide by a half-metre tall,” said a forest ministry press re-lease last week.

“You must also create a one-metre, debris-free ring around the fi re and have a shovel or at least eight litres of water available nearby to extinguish it properly.

“Never leave a campfi re unattend-ed. Always ensure that the campfi re is completely out and the ashes are cool to the touch before leaving the area,” the release continued.

Human-caused fi res make up the larg-est percentage of forest fi res in B.C., with 32 campfi res in the province that have grown to wildfi res this year.

But they are not the only cause of wildfi re.

The last weekend of July, the Northwest Fire Centre brought in extra precautions for a fore-cast that predicted lightning in already hot and dry conditions.

All of that extra fi refi ghting power was used, including an Electra air tank-

er, an extra truck, an extra helicopter and two repel teams as there ended up being 19 fi res in northwestern B.C. caused by lightning, although none in the Terrace area.

Compared to initial attack crews, re-pel team members don’t need to establish a land base before they begin to extin-guish a fi re, which means they can start to work on a fi re faster.

Since the start of August, the most ma-jor threat of fi res has shifted to the North-west Territories.

Just over one week ago, 23 crew mem-bers were deployed to Fort Smith, NWT. None were from the Northwest District.

B.C. crews have been sent this year al-ready to Manitoba, Quebec, Ontario and Colorado to assist in wildfi res in those ar-eas.

The Northwest Fire Centre would like to remind everyone that the fi re prohibi-tion for burning slash and waste, stubble and grass, and banning fi reworks is still in effect and will be until Aug. 31.

Anyone found in violation of the ban will be served a minimum $345 fi ne.

To report a wildfi re call 1 800 663-5555 toll-free or *5555 on a cell phone.

Kitimat will soon have a Tim Hortons restaurantBy Sean GlanvilleTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

KITIMAT - Local company Jack Ovi-att Contracting has been awarded the contract to build the new Tim Horton’s in Kitimat.

The company began breaking ground for the new restaurant last Monday.

Before year’s end, coffee lov-ers in Kitimat will no longer have to drive to Terrace to get their caffeine fi x from the Canadian icon. The Tim Hor-tons which will be built next to Holly-wood Video in the City Centre Mall, is scheduled to open December 1.

“It will be an early Christmas pres-ent for me and Kitimat,” said mayor Joanne Monaghan.

“They (Tim Hortons) told me they are opening December 1st. All kinds of glitches can happen but that’s what they’re hoping for.”

When Monaghan announced in the Fall of 2011 that Tim Hortons was coming to town, many residents were skeptical it was a ploy to get re-elect-ed.

“I was told over and over that it (Tim Hortons) was my pipe-dream be-cause I only said it because I wanted to get re-elected and I thought it was go-ing to be a good election ploy,” laughed Monaghan. “I got a letter from them saying they were going to build here and nobody would believe me.”

Mall owner Jerry Minni plans to open up the Tim Hortons and later on the M Hotel which also will be built at City Centre Mall.

The hotel will have 44 guest rooms, a lobby and a conference room.

The breezeway will also become enclosed, lighted and accessible to the public at all times.

There will also be modifi cations to the storefronts under it.

the edge of the Spasizi Plateau, the

Skeena River begins its 610 kilometre

run to the Pacific. Much like today,

the mighty Skeena has been the

region’s lifeline for millions of years.

The Tsimshian were the first people

to occupy the area more than 10,000

years ago and they depended on the

river for survival. At the turn of the

for pioneer settlers, traders and

miners. And so began the era of

the riverboats shipping valuable

goods up and down the river.

Today you’ll find lone or groups

of fishers landing the big one

along the river banks or cruising

the currents in their boats.

In the spring of 1905, George Little left the

hustle and bustle of the Yukon Gold Rush

and snowshoed over the Kitimat Trail to

the shores of the Skeena River. As he gazed

over the magical vista he envisioned a life

of opportunity. When the government

opened the land for sale George staked his

claim on acres including the site, which

Terrace stands today. He established a

homestead and sawmill in response to

the needs of the new railway and donated

nine acres of land so a new railway station

could be built, transforming Terrace into

a busy commercial hub. George married

Clara Beste in 1912 and together they

raised a family of five children. Nearly one

year before his death in 1955, George rode

the first Canadian National Railway train

to make the Terrace – Kitimat run over

the route he first snowshoed nearly half a

century earlier.

Several years ago, the City of Terrace

restored George Little’s home to its

original state and moved its location to

the bottom of Kalum Street. The building

that was once home to our city’s founder,

now welcomes train passengers as the

VIA Rail Station. Here you’ll also find

local handicrafts, cultural artifacts, and

antiques. On Sundays in the summer

be sure to peruse the Flea Market full of

eclectic finds and hidden treasures.

East of Terrace along Hwy 16 stands the Usk Chapel, a charming little replica of a church that was destroyed in the great 1936 flood. While you’re there be sure to take a ride on the Usk Ferry, a rare reaction powered ferry that travels across the Skeena River to the rural community of Usk. Its history dates back to 1912 with the building of the right-of-way for the Canadian Pacific Railway.

The Old Bridge is an historical feat of engineering that once boasted the title as the longest, single lane, wood decked, curved bridge in North America. Constructed to allow people and vehicles to easily cross the Skeena River, the rock outcroppings under the bridge became a formidable obstacle for the sternwheelers. As such, ringbolts were anchored in the rocks to help the riverboats navigate their way safely

through the canyon on their journey upstream. These ringbolts are still visible in the rocks at the west end of the bridge.

Here rests many of our pioneer ancestors including George Little and his family. The Kitsumgallum Cemetery is located at the top of the first hill on Kalum Lake Drive. Next to the cemetery you’ll find an original trail that looks out across the valley.

Anyone who has set sight upon the revered white

Kermodei bear is one lucky soul. The Kermodei, also

known as the Spirit bear, ghost bear or Moksgm’ol in

Tsimshian, is unique to the North Coast rainforest and

sightings are rare. Even locals who have lived in the

region their entire lives have yet to catch a glimpse of

Terrace’s legendary mascot.What makes this white bear so intriguing is that it is a

black bear in every respect except for its bright coat of

fur. One might think that the bears are albinos but the

famous white fur comes from a recessive gene that both

parents must possess for their cub to be white.

First Nations legends recall the Kermodei as the spirit

of the rainforest. Long ago a raven changed the earth

from snowy white to forest green but didn’t want to

forget the past. So the raven changed every tenth black

bear into a white one to remember the world the way it

had once been.

South towards Kitimat is Kitamaat Village - home to the Haisla people. In Tsimshian the word Kitamaat means People of the Snow. For hundreds of years the Haisla have occupied many different areas throughout their territory, but today they are primarily found at the head of the Douglas Channel on BC’s North Coast.There’s lots to take in while visiting the village - historical totem poles, ocean views, trails lining the coast, two marinas, wildlife viewing, a fresh seafood restaurant and a number of First Nations artisan shops. www.haislatourism.com

The dramatic landscape fused with the rich Nisga’a culture makes the Nass Valley a very unique experience. Nisga’a Memorial Lava Bed Provincial Park or Anhluut’ukwsim Laxmihl Angwinga’asanskwhl Nisga’a offers visitors a chance to explore a volcanic landscape and learn about the culture and legends of the Nisga’a people. Approximately 250 years ago a volcano erupted consuming thousands of Nisga’a citizens and forcing them to relocate their villages.

Today you can follow a self-drive auto tour that highlights the epic scenery, notable features and stories to educate visitors of the Nisga’a heritage. Be sure to drop in to the Nisga’a Visitor Centre where you can access information on special events and guided tours to the volcanic crater.

Just outside the park there are four communities - Gitlakdamix (New Aiyansh), Gitwinksihlkw (Canyon City), Laxgalts’ap (Greenville), Gingolx (Kincolith). All communities are road accessible from the park. You’ll find amenities such as grocery stories, bed and breakfasts, restaurants, gift shops, gas stations and health services. Nass Camp RV Campground has 16 fully serviced RV sites, a sani-dump and a restaurant. www.bcparks.ca

Traffi c moving through Fairview Terminal continues to riseBy Shaun ThomasTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - The Prince Rupert Port Authority released their month-end results for July late last week, and the numbers show tonnage through Fairview Terminal is well above last year.

While there was only a slight increase in tonnage handled this July compared to last July, rising 5.5 per cent from 46,433.3 TEUs to 48,977.5 TEUs, so far this year there has been 62 per cent more traffi c through Fairview Termi-nal, rising from 198,217 TEUs to 321,123 TEUs through the fi rst seven months of the year.

Imports were up 6.4 per cent year-to-year, while so far the num-ber of imports is up 58.8 per cent and is at 182,452.7 TEUs. Exports were up 4.4 per cent year-to-year, although the number of loaded

TEUs shipped this July was down 12.2 per cent compared to last July. So far this year the export of loaded containers is up 42.8 per cent at 74,225.8 TEUs, while the percentage is at 66.4 per cent when the movement of empty containers is taken into account.

Ridley Terminals had a strong month compared to last July, al-most doubling the amount of coal being shipped. Last July the terminal moved 527,541 tonnes compared to 1.04 million tonnes this year for an increase of 97.1 per cent. So far this year the ter-minal is up 21.9 per cent and has moved over 6.7 million tonnes of product compared to 5.5 million tonnes last year.

The strong year being experi-enced by Fairview Terminal and Ridley Terminals, however, isn’t shared by Prince Rupert Grain, which saw its tonnage fall by 42.4

per cent compared to last July. Overall this year the terminal is down 10 per cent through the fi rst eight months of the 2012.

Also down is the movement of logs through the harbour. While it was up 38.3 per cent compared to last July, the total tonnage for the harbour is down 37.6 per cent.

Regardless, traffi c through the Port of Prince Rupert is on track to break another record. So far this year the port has exceeded 12.8 million tonnes compared to 10.8 million tonnes last year, and this July saw 1.7 million tonnes pass through Prince Rupert compared to 1.3 million tonnes last year.

In terms of passenger traffi c, both BC Ferries and Alaska Fer-ries are down slightly compared to 2011, dropping 5.7 per cent and 8.4 per cent respectively so far in 2012.

NOTICE – NEW COMMUNICATIONS TOWER, MOUNT HAYS GwaiiTel Society (“GwaiiTel”), City West Cable and Telephone Company (“CityWest”), and BC Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations (“Forestry”) are upgrading facilities at the existing CityWest/Forestry sites on Mt. Hays, including a new and taller tower to accommodate new or improved radio communications links to Haida Gwaii and the coastal mainland in the Prince Rupert area. These new or improved radio links will help meet community needs for health, safety and general communications as well as BC Government Natural Resource Sector communication needs to support wildfire response and employee safety. The new tower will be a pipe leg structure similar to those erected in recent years by Canada Coast Guard and Rogers Communications. It will be 30 metres tall and located at (approx.) Latitude N54 17’02” Longitude W130 18’57” (about 701m above sea level). All antennae currently installed at the CityWest/Forestry sites (existing tower and pole) will be mounted on the new tower. In addition, a new 12’ diameter dish antenna will be installed at 25 metres height above ground for a new radio link to Masset. Other antennae may be added later for future radio links in the Prince Rupert area. Old structures will be removed on completion. All construction will take place within the boundaries of the existing land tenure as registered to Forestry and CityWest. The new structures, like existing structures at that location, will be enclosed with fencing and locked gates to restrict access. Transport Canada has reviewed and approved this structure without any aeronautical obstruction marking requirements. Telus Communications, Rogers Communications, Royal Canadian Mounted Police and Canada Coast Guard have existing towers in the area, all of which were considered and found unsuitable due to inadequate space and/or strength. The new tower will have the capacity to serve this expansion project and additional capacity to serve other needs in future. I, Paul Daniell, as Administrator of GwaiiTel, attest that: the installation will respect good engineering practices including structural adequacy; the radio antenna system described in this notification package is excluded from environmental assessment under the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act; and, the radio installation described in this notification package will be installed and operated on an ongoing basis so as to comply with Health Canada’s Safety Code 6, as may be amended from time to time, for the protection of the general public including any combined effects of nearby installations within the local radio environment. Please address any related questions or concerns to: GwaiiTel Society Paul Daniell, Administrator Phone: 604.616.0620 Email: [email protected]

Kids camp performance returns to this weekend’s UdderfestContribvutedTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - There have been children’s shows at Udderfest since, 2000 with the kids camp be-ing introduced a few years later.

This year the kids camp has 16 participants between the ages of 5 and 13 and has been running for the past 5 weekends. The kids have been learning theatre basics through

improv games and have worked with the “big kid” Volunteers aka Camp Coordinator (Treena Decker) and assistants (James Sheremetta and Nivan Sharma) to develop a ba-sic play outline and develop a half hour production using all of the im-prov techniques learned during the camp.

The show is called “Play-ground Revenge” and has two per-formances (which will each be

unique due to the improv based nature of the show) at the Lester Centre on Sat. August 11 at one and three p.m. with admission by donation.

Playground Revenge is a classic tale of good vs. not quite so good but with the clever twists that can only come from the minds of children and told by a chicken. Cowptain Crench and the Crenchberries meet

Madame Snicknastee and the Snickerdoodles in a skirmish to de-termine who will rule the monkey bars, retain sandbox bragging rights all while avoiding detention and keeping their lunch money.

Which side of the slide will you be on? This show encourages audience participation from kids of ALL ages in classic melodrama style.

This show is rated F for Fun!!

BUILDING DECLARATION & SITING APPROVAL PERMITSNew regulations apply when building in the

Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine

As of July 01, 2012, prior to the start of any new construction an applica-tion must be made for a Building Declaration and Siting Approval Permit. This change, authorized under Development Approval and Notification Procedures Bylaw No. 613, 2012, takes what was formerly a voluntary service to a mandatory procedure. It applies in the rural (unincorporated) areas of the Kitimat-Stikine Regional District, but does not apply on Indian Reserves or within the incorporated municipali-ties such as New Hazelton, Village of Hazelton or Terrace.

In addition, for some areas, Surveyors Certificates are required for all new dwellings, other "principal use structures," and larger ancillary build-ings. Surveyors Certificates confirm building dimensions and location of buildings within a lot.

There is no application fee for a Building Declaration and Siting Approval Permit. Applicants complete a two-page form and submit a site plan of the lot showing current development (buildings, driveways, septic system location, etc.) and the proposed construction.

For more information, please contact the Planning Department of theRegional District of Kitimat-Stikine.

Kitimat citizens come to aid of injured cyclistBy Sean GlanvilleTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

KITIMAT - A Kitimat woman suffered a nasty spill cycling last Sunday leaving her needing surgery on her wrist.

26-year-old Emily Parsons, an experienced cyclist, suffered a malfunction on her bike which led to her fl ying over her han-dlebars.

Parsons was taken by ambu-lance to Kitimat General Hospi-tal with a fractured wrist, which required surgery and two per-manent pins.After being dis-charged from the hospital, Par-sons learned her family and friends were extremely worried for her after a local media outlet had reported online that she had been struck by a vehicle.

“I was at the hospital wait-

ing for surgery and people came in saying they heard I was hit by a car and then I was picking up my prescriptions and my neight-bours said that too, so I was try-ing to fi gure out why everyone kept asking me if I was hit by a car,” says Parsons. “A vehi-cle stopped and parked behind me to stop traffi c, but I was not struck by a vehicle.”

Parsons was cycling down Haisla Boulevard when she stood up on her bike to gain momentum so she could get through the second set of lights at Lahakas Boulevard with-out stopping, then suddenly she found herself laying on the pavement.

“My gear jammed and it stopped my bike instantly, my chain slipped off and my foot

went past the pedal and because I was going so fast I went over my handlebars,” says Parsons. “I was going down the hill and all of a sudden it was ‘oh crap’, and then I was lying on the cement saying to myself ‘Am I gonna walk away from this or do I re-ally need an ambulance?’”

Luckily for Parsons, the accident occurred at the towns busiest intersection and she had immediate help. She described the response from citizens as something ‘right out of a fi rst aid class.’

“Very quickly there was a lot of trained fi rst aid people right around me. There was a gen-tleman who held my hand and a fi refi ghter from Terrace who called the ambulance and did C Spine on me, another wom-

an who was a level 3 fi rst aider from RTA also stopped,” said Parsons. “It was right out of a fi rst aid class and it was abso-lutely excellent. Everyone reas-sured me that everything would be fi ne and they all knew what they were doing and it was ab-solutely wonderful.”

Parsons even had somebody drive her bike to her home.

She has been hooked on cy-cling ever since she took part in a 200-km fundraiser last sum-mer for the Alberta Cancer So-ciety. She credits wearing her helmet as a major blessing.

“I’m aware of how to ride correctly and there was no oth-er vehicles around me it was just a freak accident,” said Parsons. “Having my helmet on was def-initely my saving grace or else

I’d have a very bad brain injury for sure.”

She hopes to spread the word on how essential wearing a helmet and learning basic road safety measures are to prevent-ing injuries.

“When you are young you don’t have that fear factor and I see lots of young people at the skate park without a hel-met or riding backwards on the roads,” says Parsons. “Their needs to be more education and safety awareness on this topic.”

Parsons will be in a cast for six weeks but plans to be back on my bike before then. She also pulled some tendons in her knee so will be easing back into cycling through low inten-sity rehab exercise.

SEAN GLANVILLE/ THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

The Heron Park wading pool seen here has been sitting idle for three consecutive summers. City council recently decided to restore the pool.

Plans underway to restore Kitimat wading poolsBy Sean GlanvilleTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

KITIMAT - Cori Bo-guski and Sharon Re-ece’s presentation to Council back on Mon-day, July 16 helped save and will eventu-ally resurrect the wad-ing pools at Chilko and Heron Park from being decommis-sioned.

At the Committee of the Whole Meeting on July 23rd Coun-cil was supplied with a memo about what it would take to bring the wading pools up to code. The motion for the pools to be main-tained and kept open was called and car-ried. Council had set aside $25,000 to de-molish the local land-marks but that money will now be put to-wards restoring the pools.

“We had a budget of $25,000 for demo-lition of the wading pools which we will now put into repairing

the pools. We will see how far that money will go and the Lions Club can also help,” said mayor Joanne Monaghan.

The question be-ing asked by many was why not wait to start construction on the wading pools un-til next summer. Be-ing already August and the average annu-al closing date for the pools being August 17, that leaves little or no time for citizens to enjoy the pools af-ter the two week con-struction period.

Monaghan ex-plained how moving forward with the proj-ect this year instead of waiting until 2013 did have its advantag-es. They already had the money set aside for demolition at their disposable and start-ing construction this month will give them a better idea of any additional costs need-ed to bring the pools up to code. She also

mentioned that the two weeks they put in now will put them ahead when they con-tinue the project next summer.

“I’m sure we will have to put some more money into it, but if we can get something happening this year and then go further next year is our goal,” said Monaghan.

The issue of typi-cal weathering such as frost and thawing in regards to having this winter set back any work being done now, Monaghan feels would be minimal.

“When you have frost and thawing it damages things but the pools have done pretty well over the years,” said Mon-aghan. “They do have glitches like rebar showing and things have to be covered up to make it safe.”

Leisure Services Director Martin Gould and his staff will be given the task of re-

storing the pools and are scheduled to begin construction immedi-ately.

The mayor did not rule out the eventu-al possibility of Kiti-mat building a spray park. Unlike the wad-ing pools, a spray park would not have the headaches over hav-ing a lifeguard on duty and the uncertainty of having a summer worker on call pend-ing weather.

“In the future coun-cil may decide that it wants to do a spray park instead and that would be very good, kids really enjoy those and it’s much safer,” explained Monaghan.

The memo Coun-cil were presented with reported costs of operating the pools in past years, which Councillor Mary Mur-phy described as ‘rea-sonable.’ However, it was the repair bill that raised some eye-brows with costs es-timated from $75,000

to $250,000, citing the majority of repairs were due to ‘tripping hazards.’

“I think it’s rea-sonable, there might be something we can do to raise some funds to keep them,” said

Murphy.The reason for the

major discrepancy in the cost estimate was dependent on the guidance of Council. They have the option of patching up and repairing the pools

or elect to dismantle them and build a spray park which would re-quire no lifeguards. Despite the higher costs, the spray park could easily be the best long term solu-tion.

Fewer rental vacancies in Terrace as rent prices riseBy Samantha GarveyTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

TERRACE - Residen-tial Rental availability in Terrace this summer is about half what it was one year ago.

According to the Spring 2012 Rental Market Survey conduct-ed by Canada Mortgage and Housing Corpo-ration (CMHC), the apartment vacancy rate in Terrace has dropped, to 3.6 per cent in April 2012 compared to 6.9 per cent in April 2011.

This drop marks a change in the overall rental market picture in Terrace, with increas-ing demand for rentals meaning a transition into a landlord’s market – and according to a lo-cal real estate agent, the least vacancies in more than a decade.

This change can be attributed to increasing economic activity in the area, said Paul Fab-ri, a senior market ana-lyst with CMHC, which surveys apartments and townhouses in com-plexes of three or more.

“It refl ects, I think, generally speaking, an uptick in resource prod-ucts industries,” he said, adding more jobs or better jobs are increas-ing demand.

“That results in de-mand for various types of accommodation, whether it be rental or home owner,” he said. “As a result, there has been some very mod-

est upwards pressure on rent.”

From April 2011 until April 2012, rent-al units surveyed by CMHC in Terrace have seen average rent prices increase by 2.3 per cent, said Fabri.

“We’ve seen up-ward movement in the 2 to 3 bedroom units,” he said, adding one and two bedroom units look relatively stable.

But apartment and townhouse complexes far from complete the

local rental-unit basket.Homes, duplex

units, and other types of rentals have also seen a turn as well.

According to Eri-ka Langer, local Roy-al LePage owner and property manager, this is the least vacancy she has seen since she be-gan in her position 14 years ago.

“If you can fi nd a house, you are looking at over $1,000 a month, for the normal three-bedroom non-basement

house,” she said. “For a fi ve-bedroom house, you’re looking probably at $1,500. Apartments are going for $700 to $800; townhouses are running between $800 to $1,000 dollars.”

Langer said that last year a three-bedroom house would have been $850, a fi ve-bedroom $1,100, an apartment $650 and a townhouse $750.

The low rental va-cancy rate is bad news for tenants looking for

a place to live, but good news for landlords, said Langer.

“Landlords are fi -nally now getting some return on their invest-ment, where for the last 10 years most landlords have been subsidizing (their properties) rather than getting a return,” she said.

An industry up-swing in the Terrace area, in some cases, has seen workers relying on hotels for accommoda-tion.

A spokesperson for the Cedars Motel said the place is completely booked until August 15, the majority of which is occupied by long-term customers who are in Terrace for work.

And with increasing demand and increasing prices for rental units and less vacancy, com-petition is heating up.

Alisha Fee is a Ter-race resident looking a for a home.

She said the cost of buying a house is too

high, so her family is looking at renting.

But right now, Fee and her fi ance are strug-gling to fi nd something suitable for their four-year-old son, their dogs and the new baby they are expecting on Christ-mas Day.

“One guy hung up on us when he found out we had kids,” she said. “(I) am getting very worried that we will not have a home for Christmas or our new baby.”

Teen arsonist gets 18 months of probationBy Margaret SpeirsTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

TERRACE - Terrace’s teenage arson-ist will spend 18 months on probation with conditions.

The 13-year-old, who cannot be named or identifi ed according to the Youth Criminal Justice Act, pleaded guilty to one count of arson at Teach-ing Tools and three breaches that all occurred last year.

When asked by judge Terence Wright if he wanted to say anything, he declined, but his mother did speak to the court.

“I just want to apologize for what my son put [the city] through. He is my son and he is my responsibility,” she said.

Wright commended her support for her son.

“I’ve noted that you have been here nearly every time and it’s noteworthy that you are here to support him,” said Wright.

On November 2, 2011, around 1:30 a.m., Terrace RCMP received a report of what was called a fi re bomb thrown at a tree behind the Teaching Tools store, said prosecutor Bill Fun-nell in recalling the circumstances of the charge.

The device caused an explosion, charring the back wall of the build-ing and the tree, leaving melted debris between the tree and the store, court heard.

On December 2, 2011, the teen breached his curfew by being out of his residence between 9 p.m. and 6 a.m., court heard.

On December 16, 2011 around 3 a.m., an RCMP offi cer spotted the teen near the 4600 block of Haugland Ave. even though he was still bound by his curfew, court heard.

He was also found in possession of two lighters which breached a court-ordered condition he was under, court heard.

Since he had been released from custody April 30 of this year, he had not breached any of his release condi-tions, court heard.

The boy had spent 137 days in cus-tody in total, court heard.

For the fi rst six months of his pro-bation, he will be under an intense su-pervision, said Wright.

The teen will be carefully moni-tored and, while he might see it as pun-ishment, the goal is to keep him from coming back to court, said Wright.

His probation conditions include not being in possession of lighters, matches, gasoline or other devices used to start fi res, not going within 200 metres of the intersection of Kalum St. and Greig Ave. unless he has writ-ten permission from his supervisor and to abide by a curfew from 10 p.m. to 7 a.m. unless he has written permission from his youth probation worker, or is in the company of his mother or anoth-er responsible adult.

Sea Cadets hand out awards as Commanding Offi cer retiresBy Martina PerryTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - The Captain Cook Sea Cadet Corps in Prince Rupert recently had to say goodbye to its long-running Commanding Offi cer Lt (N) Arnold Wick, who as of late last month is retired.

Wick has been involved with the Sea Cadets since 1978, becom-ing Prince Rupert’s Commanding Offi cer for four years. After turn-ing 65 this year, Wick had to “age out”, as it is mandatory to do so in the military.

Although Wick didn’t offi cial-ly retire until July 25, 2012, during Seafest weekend the Captain Cook Sea Cadet Corps held it’s annual ceremonial review where the year’s top Cadets were honoured, with a retirement farewell for Wick be-ing held at the same time. In atten-dance was Reviewing Offi cer LCol. John Nosotti, who was a past Com-manding Offi cer of Captain Cook Sea Cadets, Area Cadet Offi cer Lt (N) Joe Guerdin, ACICO NW Ma-jor Bishop, Admiral’s Liason Offi -cer LCdr. Pete Southam and the two commanding offi cers from the na-val ships that were in town during Seafest.

Appreciation plaques were pre-sented to Wick from Prime Min-ister Stephen Harper, Premier Christy Clark, Mayor Jack Mus-sallem, Chief of Defence Staff General Walt Natynczyk, Vice-Admiral Paul Maddison, and Com-mander Stan Bates. Wick also re-ceived the Distinguished Service Award from the Navy League of

Canada.Additionally, at the annual cer-

emonial review, ASLt G. Boychukk was awarded with the Commission-ing Scroll.

Perhaps one of the most nota-ble things Wick did for the Captain Cook Sea Cadets was playing a ma-jor role in fi nding the program it’s location. After spending years at a variety of locations around the com-munity, Wick decided that the Sea Cadets needed a permanent spot to call their own. Wick went to may-or Jack Mussallem and the City for help, with the City assisting them to get the piece of property the Sea Cadet program currently resides on. Additionally, funding helped the ca-dets obtained two portables from King Edward School to increase the size of the hall.

Wick also was responsible for naming the hall after H.M.C.S Chatham, which was Prince Ru-pert’s Naval Reserve Unit back dur-ing WWII.

“I thought it was important for the Sea Cadets to continue the name,” explained Wick.

Although he will no longer be the Commanding Offi cer of the Captain Cook corps, Wick fully in-tends to participate in the local par-ent’s group the Navy League later this month to continue working with the Sea Cadets of the community.

Sea Cadets is a citizenship pro-gram with a focus on naval activi-ties. There were around thirty Cadets this year, between the ages of 12 and 19.

Captain Cook is the third old-

est Sea Cadet corps in Cana-da, being established in 1927. Although it was the seventh corps created in Canada, a number of corps established prior to 1927 have closed down.

Apprenticeship program moving to TerraceBy Martina PerryTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - The Electri-cal Apprenticeship program will no longer be taking place at Prince Rupert’s Northwest Community College (NWCC) campus due to a steady decrease in enrollment over the past few years.

All levels of the program, which includes apprenticeship levels one through four and foundation train-ing, will now be taking place in Terrace in an attempt to keep the apprenticeship available in North-western British Columbia.

“We will run the program from the Terrace campus for now and do not have plans to return it to the Prince Rupert campus. Our com-

munities are the key to our success. We value and encourage collabora-tion and engagement. NWCC will continue to engage the Prince Ru-pert and area communities in educa-tional planning to deliver programs that refl ect the needs of students and the communities in the service area and well aligned with both the eco-nomic and job needs of our commu-nity,” wrote Dave O’Leary, who is NWCC’s Vice President of Institu-tional Advancement, in an e-mail to the Prince Rupert Northern View.

Enrollment in the electri-cal program in Prince Rupert has dropped consistently over the past three years. In 2009 the average class size in all four levels of the program was about 13 students, by this year class sizes had fallen to

just six students. When you con-sider that a standard apprenticeship class size should be 16 students per level, there is undeniably a lot of improvement needed in terms of enrollment.

The move has worried many in the community, including Prince Rupert mayor Jack Mussallem, who stated his concerns over the loss of electrical program at the last city council meeting, held on Monday, July 30.

“I know that there is a demand for [the program] in Prince Rupert in particular with the expansion of the coal terminal, which is taking place now until the end of 2014, and the expansion of the fi rst phase of the container port which will start in this September/October, and also

the development of a railway, road and utility corridor on Ridley Island. All of this will in-volve people that are electricians and people that are looking for appren-ticeships. I really think we should state our concerns loud and clear,” he said.

Council decid-ed to try to set up a meeting with rep-resentatives from NWCC to discuss the move.

Sites Around TerraceThe millennium trail in Terrace is a great walk

which also provides excellent historical value.

Along Highway

16, this trail has

several stops

which contribute

to telling the story

of Terrace among

the years. Or hike

one of the many mountain trails in the surrounding

area. Experience beautiful views and get a great

workout at the same time. Ferry Island is home to

an amazing nature walk that takes you right beside

the river as well as through the forest. Along this

trail are over 50 beautifully carved faces as well as

several chainsaw carvings beside the path.

First Nations history is abundant in the Terrace

area. Many people still practice the traditions, and

languages passed down from their ancestors.

The Gitselasu (People of the Kitselas Canyon)

have been around the area for at least 5,000

years. They have a rich heritage in which

everyone is proud of, and

is still practiced in today’s

Tsimshiam society. Take a

beautiful nature walk through

the canyon, and as of July

4th you can take a tour

through the longhouses, and

down to the lush river.

Kitselas Canyon is home to

the four clans; Gispudwada

(killerwhale), Laxiboo (wolf),

Laxsgiik (eagle), and Ganhada (raven). Each long

house has the clans’ totem poles; the last of which

was raised in 2011.

Terrace city council to get electronic tabletsBy Lauren BennTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

TERRACE - Terrace’s city council will be digi-tizing its meetings af-ter agreeing to purchase computerized hand-held tablets for elected offi -cials and some staff.

The city has budgeted $10,000 for nine touch-screen computers and for software to accommo-date them, which will en-able information usually distributed to council and staff by paper to be ac-cessed digitally instead.

The city’s rationale behind the tablet pur-chase is that having in-formation available at the touch of a screen will create effi ciencies and also save paper.

Paper savings are estimated to clock in around 10,000 pages per year, according to city staff.

“The tablets will also include a new communi-cations system for coun-cil,” said city offi cials. “We anticipate staff time will be saved with the

new communications system.”

Money to pay for the tablets will come from an amount of cash left over from a Local Governance Workshop hosted by the city after November 2011’s municipal elec-tions, said staff. The city collected money in reg-istration fees from north-western local govern-ments that attended and about $14,000 from in-dustry sponsors, totalling $50,000.

But as the total event cost came in at $35,000, this created a $15,000 surplus from which the tablet expense will be drawn from, said staff.

Councillor James Cordeiro said he voted in favour of the tablets be-cause it wasn’t coming directly from taxpayer money and would create effi ciencies.

“Technically speak-ing, it’s not tax dollars going towards it,” said Cordeiro, adding that while the tablets won’t save money, overall, time effi ciencies will make up

that cost. “It’s cost neutral,” he

said. “I think there’s cer-tainly a savings for our time.”

Cordeiro added that he foresees being better able to respond to com-munity questions and concerns by being able to research on the spot us-ing a tablet.

“What makes sense to me is being able to

have access to all of these city documents as op-posed to carting around a wheelbarrow of paper,” he said.

Mayor Dave Pern-arowski agrees it is a good idea, and that the time savings are worth the expense.

“If you factor in time and money it’s a net sav-ings,” said Pernarows-ki. “If there wasn’t a

business case to do it, it wouldn’t be done.”

Pernarowski said he has experience using tab-lets for meetings.

“It’s something that I use at other board meet-ings and I think it’s very effective,” he said.

“A lot of cities a lot smaller than Terrace had moved to this,” added councillor Bruce Bid-good, noting he brought

up the idea initially. “We get absolute-

ly inundated with in-formation,” he said. “Some weeks we have to read upwards of 500 pages of material,” said Bidgood.

Being able to access that on the spot with a tablet means a job that’s better done, he said.

Exactly when the tablets will be coming

hasn’t yet been decided, nor has the model of tab-lets to be purchased been decided, but city offi cials said that those decisions will likely be looked at in the fall when new models become available and can be considered.

Tablet shelf life is es-timated at three to four years, said a staff report to council when the idea was fi rst raised.

RCMP rebut crime statsBy Margaret SpeirsTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

TERRACE - Terrace RCMP are rebutting Terrace area crime-rate statistics released by Statistics Can-ada recently.

The 2011 Crime Severity Index released by StatsCan recently ranked 239 cities with a population of more than 10,000, placing Terrace at 10th from the top of its list — up from its 29th place ranking two years ago.

Terrace RCMP Const. Angela Rabut, who does media relations, said the index takes court sentences into consideration and that could include Kitimat cas-es, which are often heard in provincial court here. The court here also hears cases from the Nass Valley, Stew-art and other northern areas.

The index also takes a look at the court sentences – if judges are more strict and give stiffer sentences, then that shows up as a higher crime severity index, said Rabut.

According to the local detachment records, there were 2,760 criminal offences here in 2010 compared to 2,907 criminal offences in 2011. The increase is in persons offences, such as uttering threats and assaults (623 last year compared to 522 in 2010); in property crime, such as mischief and break-ins (885 last year compared to 825 in 2010); drug crimes (149 last year compared to 121 in 2010); and traffi c crimes (177 last year compared to 170 in 2010), said Rabut.

“We do have a very active drug unit now. Proba-bly the increase in the drug offences would just be our members [doing more enforcement,]” she said.

Crime may look like it’s on the increase but the public doesn’t have anything more to fear.

StatsCan defi nes the Crime Severity Index as mea-suring the seriousness of crime. “...each offence is as-signed a weight, derived from sentences handed down by criminal courts. The more serious the average sen-tence, the higher the weight for that offence. As a re-sult, more serious offences have a greater impact on the index. “All offences, including traffi c and drug offenc-es, are included ... the calculation involves summing the weighted offences and dividing by the population. [It] is then standardized to a base year (2006) or 100.”

Swinging sound… CONTRIBUTED / THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - About 100 people came out to the Moose Hall on August 2 to check out the big-band sounds of the Muskeg Swing Band in an event that helped raised over $700 for the Prince Rupert and Region Music Society, which is hoping to build a new band facility at Charles Hays. The Society’s next fund-raising event is Prince Rupert Meets High Society; August 12, 7:30 p.m. at the Tom Rooney Playhouse.

Rupert is ranked high in Crime Severity IndexBy Shaun ThomasTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - Statistics Canada released their Crime Severity Index for 2011 late last month, and the data puts Prince Rupert in the top 10 worst commu-nities across country.

The Crime Severity Index (CSI) takes the crimes, assigns them a weight based on sentences handed down by the courts and dividing that number by the population. The numbers look at communities with a population over 10,000 people across Canada.

For 2011 Prince Rupert was had the 8th highest overall CSI in the country and the second highest in the province behind only Williams Lake, which ranked sixth in Canada, and just ahead of Langley.

The stats go further to look at the severity index for violent crimes and for non-violent crimes. When it comes to violent crimes, Prince Rupert is ranked even worse with the fi fth highest in the country and second in the province again to Williams Lake, which was ranked fourth. Both nationally and provincially, Prince Rupert is ranked just below Terrace in terms of violent crime with our neighbours to the east ranking 6th.

When it comes to non-violent crimes, Prince Ru-pert is ranked 12th in the country, but ranked third in the province behind both Williams Lake and Lang-ley City.

When it comes to overall crime severity rank-ing and non-violent crime severity, North Battleford Saskatchewan was ranked the highest in the country. Thompson, Manitoba, was ranked the worst when it came to violent crime and second overall in the other two categories.

Alaska looking to replace its old ferry dockBy Alan S. HaleTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - The State of Alaska is plan-ning to rebuild its Marine Highway ferry terminal in Prince Rupert.

The terminal was originally built in 1963 and is the only Canadian stop on the state’s extensive coast-al ferry system. With the original agreement soon to come to an end, the State of Alaska is currently in ne-gotiations with CN Rail and the Prince Rupert Port Authority for another 50-year lease that is expected to be approved in September.

While the terminal building on the Prince Rupert waterfront was opened in 1993, the old dock has been facing the elements for half a century and is deterio-rating, and once a new lease is put in place, it will be replaced.

That project is still in the design stage but Alas-ka is looking to build a new transfer bridge, abut-ment, fl oat/lift system and new mooring structures. These are what need to be done, but the state is also looking into the possibility of refurbishing the much newer terminal building and its parking and staging areas.

To make this project happen, the Alas-ka State Legislature has approved $11-mil-lion USD to spend on a new terminal. That fi g-ure is purely an estimate, according to the Marine Highway Department, and once the designs are done, a more accurate cost evaluation will be done.

The project’s manager is hopeful that the design phase will be fi nished by this time next year, and that the construction contract should go out to bid later that fall.

Because the project is being funded by the state but taking place outside their country, the Marine Highway representative the Prince Ru-pert Northern View talked to about the project wasn’t certain how the contract will be awarded other than that it will have go out to competitive bid.

But the State of Alaska does have a history of advertising contracts that are up for bidding outside their state so it stands to reason that Prince Rupert contractors will have a shot at being awarded the contract. PL

City, WatCo talk Watson Island sale priceBy Alan S. HaleTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - The $5.5-million deal for the sale of Watson Island is being heralded as a fair and mutually benefi cial one by both the City of Prince Rupert and the Watson Island Development Corporation, who represented the buyers in the negotiation of the deal.

While both sides may be satisfi ed, it is clear that the City is looking to sell the property for much lower than it was ex-pected to be worth when they acquired the property from Sun Wave Forest Products and put it up in a tax sale in 2009.

Back then, the proper-ty was estimated to be valued at about $13-million but af-ter revelations about just how badly contaminated over 80 years of heavy industrial use has left Watson Island, people were not lining up to pay that kind of money for it when it might cost several million just to bring it back up to a usable standard.

“By the time this island is redeveloped into a sea terminal it will be a very large amount of money will have been spent...The $5.5-million to acquire the properties from the District and the City is just a small part of what will be required to bring it back into active production,” said Tanner Elton, WatCo’s chief operating offi cer.

In fact, the $5-million that Prince Rupert would receive from the sale is about $1.5-mil-lion less than the unpaid taxes on the property that the City was trying to recover by seiz-ing it from Sun Wave Forest Products in the fi rst place. If the deal goes through, the City will simply have to take that un-recovered $1.5 million dollars as a loss.

“There were other con-siderations such as the cost of cleaning up the site...And due to these considerations it did lower the attainable sale price,” said Prince Rupert’s mayor, Jack Mussallem.

But Mussallem doesn’t see the situation as the City losing money on the deal though.

“What Sun Wave owed and what we would get for it by sell-ing it are two vastly different things. Under legislation once you take property over you get the property, not the outstand-

ing taxes. So that fi gure that Sun Wave has is gone,” he said.

The issue of Watson Island’s environmental contaminat ion was such a stick-ing–point that an environmen-tal remediation agreement from the province was made one condi-tions that must be satisfi ed before the sale can go ahead.

“Right now the site is con-taminated and it has to be remedi-ated to a standard which is set out in legislation to allow for a new use. So we need a remediation strategy and an agreement with the Ministry of the Environment and the pro-vincial government more gen-erally,” said Elton.

According to the City’s fi -nance department, the $5-mil-lion will have no impact on the amount of spendable cash the City will have on hand. The money from the sale has already been accounted for in the City’s budgeting, and the funds will simply disappear into the hole they were expected to fi ll in their fi nances, with nothing be-ing left over to go into surplus. No extra million or two will be available for a new emergency building for instance.

But despite the low sale price and lack of new surplus funds, both buyer and seller say that the mere fact that Watson Island could be sold back into private ownership in the near future is something to look for-ward to, and will mean big ben-efi ts for everyone involved.

From the City’s perspec-tive, the deal represents an op-portunity to place Watson Is-land back on the list of taxable properties. Not only that, but with a long-term heavy indus-trial projects on it.

As long as Watson Island was owned by the City and sit-ting mostly idle, it wasn’t pro-viding tax funds to the cash-strapped City. If all goes to plan, it would be worth hun-dreds of thousands of dollars

of tax money to the City for the foreseeable future.

“I and Prince Rupert city council are optimistic that this is a good arrangement and a good fi t for Watson Island. What it does is that it put Wat-son Island back on the tax role and it creates jobs from the point of acquisition and on into the future,” said Mussallem.

There is another obvious advantage for the community: jobs, new long-term, well-paid jobs.

Since Metlakatla and Lax Kw’alaams would be the own-ers of Watson Island they will be making agreements with their business partners inside WatCo (who will be leasing the island from them) to make sure their people get a portion of the jobs and construction contracts. The exact details of this deal would be negotiated if the sale goes ahead.

But WatCo says there will be plenty of jobs and contracts for non-Tsimshian people and businesses as well.

“The benefi ts to the com-munity and employment oppor-tunities will be very substantial. This is something that will be good for all the communities, including the First Nations,” said Elton.

Both First Nations have plenty more to gain from a project that would establish a bulk commodity terminal for mid-size ships on Watson Is-land. There’s a 99-year lease with WatCo which could mean

a century of reliable rental in-come, plus they’ll be getting a royalty from every ton of goods that is moved through the oper-ation, which means the busier it gets, the more money they can make.

“That’ll be long-term ongo-ing benefi t to the First Nations. And we think an underlying as-set will be that the property it-self will be locally owned for a long time,” said Elton.

But the deal hasn’t gone through yet, and aside from the required remediation plan and numerous other regulatory pro-cesses that need to be done, the big potential project-killers are the lawsuits currently under-way over the island.

Any one of these litigations could cause big problems for the projects. If, for instance, Sun Wave wins its case arguing that the City’s acquisition of Watson Island was illegal, the project would be dead right then and there. WatCo says it wouldn’t begin negotiating a purchase of the site from Sun Wave.

But nothing has been decid-ed yet, but until it has the pur-chase deal is in limbo. Just how long it will take to get all of the lawsuits dealt with is an open question, one that can only be defi nitively answered by the judges involved.

Mayor Mussallem is hope-ful that the cases can be re-solved in the next few months, and WatCo says it has come up with legal strategy.

Sun Wave discusses Watson Island caseBy Shaun ThomasTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - One of the conditions attached to the sale of Watson Island to the Watson Island Development Corpora-tion is the settlement of a series of lawsuits brought about by former owners Sun Wave For-est Products against the City of Prince Rupert, and Sun Wave spokesperson Bill Belsey says the company is hoping to see that resolved as quickly as pos-sible.

“The last time we were in court the City wanted the cer-tifi cates of pending litigation (CPL) lifted and the judge re-fused because of Sun Wave’s claims that the taxes were not in arrears and, if they were considered in arrears, may have been illegally applied...The City wanted to expedite the court date, but the judge made it clear that he wanted three consecutive days to look at all of the issues involved,” said Belsey, who noted the case may not be heard until the

spring.“To get three consecutive

dates is tough with the court system as busy as it is, even try-ing to get a whole afternoon can be tough.”

Belsey said the company isn’t disputing that taxes were owed, but is disputing when the City says they were due.

“There was a deal in place with Sun Wave, we all agree. Part of that deal was for Mr. Ni to start up the mill, we all agree. Mr. Ni didn’t start up the mill...Now we are saying that at that

time taxes were due, not over-due as the City says but due to be paid. The judge said our claims are not without merit, would not lift the CPL and that it needed to come before the courts,” he explained.

Like others, Belsey said he is waiting on the results of the court case in relation to the possible sale of the land that the City of Prince Ru-pert took ownership of in 2009. There is currently a Cer-tifi cate of Pending Litigation on the site.

NW senior athletes get a boostBy Sean GlanvilleTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - The Zone 10 BC Se-nior Games delegation held their fund-rais-ing draw in Prince Rupert last Saturday.

The fi rst prize of $1500 was won by Prince Rupert resident Jacqueline Taylor.

The second prize of $1000 went to Gary Rybiski of Terrace.

Third prize drawn of $500 was awarded to Debbie Oviatt of Kitimat.

Prince Rupert Councillor Nelson Kin-ney was the local dignitary on hand to make the draws.

“It was great that we were able to have a winner from each of our three main com-munities involved,” said Zone 10 Director Bill Whitty. “It was a great fundraiser as there were over 3,000 draw entries.”

The majority of tickets were sold set-ting up tables at a number of major grocery stores throughout their communities.

This year’s seniors games take place in Burnaby August 21 - 25.

Among Zone 10’s 182 members, 94 will be travelling to compete in the games that sees senior athletes from all over the province competing in a wide range of sporting events, anything from golf to drag-on boating to bridge.

Most of the zone delegation have chose to drive down to the Lower Mainland while others have elected to fl y Hawkair.

“We used to all bus to the games but now most people want to do their own thing,” said Whitty. “Some people take their RV and do an extended vacation and visit family and that sort of thing.”

Anyone 55 or over qualifi es for the se-

niors games, however, Whitty says there are often members competing right into their nineties.

“It amazes me the camaraderie between all the athletes regardless of the sport they are competing in or their age difference,” says Whitty.

He also was full of praise for the se-niors games, describing it as the greatest alternative form of health care out their for seniors.

“If not for the seniors games a lot of these people would be sitting in doctors’ waiting rooms,” says Whitty.

“This gives them a purpose and keeps them actively involved and I think it’s the best alternative health care the province could offer.”

This year marks the 25th anniversary of the BC Senior Games

Skeena River Challenge rides Sunday…

CONTRIBUTED PHOTO / THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

TERRACE - This Sunday marks the 26th annual Skeena River Challenge bicycle race. The Gran Fondo style road race, held Sunday, August 12 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., starts from the Jim Ciccone Centre in Prince Rupert and spins 140 kilometres up Hwy 16 to fi nish at the DHL parking lot at the corner of Kenney Street and Keith Avenue in Ter-race. The route has changed slightly this year, taking riders through Port Edward and the North Pacifi c Cannery instead of out to Ridley Island like in years past. Recreation riders will travel 140 kilometres and racers will travel a distance of 160 kilometres. A race of 100 miles, like this one, is commonly called a ‘century ride.’ From left to right, Laurie Mutschke, Maryka Rypma, and Willie Muller.

Hot August Nites race is a scorcher By Ed Evans THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

TERRACE - With weather reaching 29 degrees in Terrace this weekend, Hot August Nites lived up to its bill-ing. But drag racing was hot too with over 60 entrants racing including the “Quick 8” – a race between the fastest 8 vehicles on the track.

Sunday was the class series racing. “Sportman” was a close race down to the wire, with Tom Ponzini outrunning Steve Derby in the fi nals. Ponzini was racing his fi rst race in a few years and it was his fi rst time running his new car. Derby was also racing in his fi rst race ever.

For the Pro portion, it came down to a race between Ken Kaperlary in his ‘56 Chevy and Laurence Wilkins on his bike. Kaperlary outran Wilkins to take home fi rst place.

In “Super Pro” the racing was fast

and furious, with Gord Hidber running against his former ride, Kris Barnett in his “Altered” to get into the fi nals.

Barnett outlasted a hard charging Hidber and made it to the fi nals against Norm Schwengler in his wheel-stand-ing classic mustang. Barnett took home the win.

There were two winners that brought home more than one trophy this weekend, as Delany Ribero, a force to watch, took home fi rst place in “Jr. Dragster” on Sunday and fi rst place in “King of the YXT Jr. Drag-ster” on Monday.

Gord Hidber also took home two on the weekend with third place fi n-ishes in “Super Pro” on Sunday and “Quick 8” on Monday.

Other highlights from Monday in-cluded “King of the YXT” with a two Chevelle fi nal where Chris Bie out-ran Dwayne Adams to take home fi rst place.

The “Gamblers” winner on Mon-day was John Wregett. In “Super Pro” two classics were in the fi nals. Russ Gutnecht in his ‘53 Chevy pickup out-ran Bruce Daum in his Corvette. A great weekend of racing was had by racers and spectators.

Next up, The Houston drags Au-gust 18th and 19th at the Houston Air-port. This race was cancelled this year and a new group took over trying to get permission to use the airport. Af-ter overcoming some big obstacles, including applying to the Agricultural Land Reserve to get permission to run the race, the word came back as a yes a few weeks ago and the 1/8 mile race is on.

Second annual Volleyball camp set to start soonBy Staff Writer THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

TERRACE - It’s not too late for aspiring young volleyball players to sign up for the second annual Thompson Rivers University WolfPack volleyball camp, which will be held in Terrace at the end of the month.

There are still plenty of spaces available for the camp, said organizers.

The clinic will be held August 27 - 30, and host-ed by TRU WolfPack’s coach Pat Hennelly for the second year.

Hennelly has a solid background in volleyball, including the NCAA. His coaching is often credited with turning TRU volleyball around. His TRU Wolf-Pack was the fi rst TRU team to qualify for the Cana-da West playoffs.

“Last [year’s camp] was very successful with 65 kids in the camp,” he said. “We are hoping for even more this year.”

“We had a Terrace, B.C. athlete make Team BC U-16 team this year, Keel Haldane,” he said. Keel at-tended the camp last year.

“Keel is the son of Jason Haldane who is compet-ing for Great Britain on the Men’s Volleyball team at

the Olympics.”Jason Haldane, who was head coach of the camp

last year, might not be back in time for this camp, but Hennelly said he will have a number of top instruc-tors at the camp.

This camp is just one of many the Thompson Rivers men’s program is holding in the next few weeks in the northern part of the province.

“I would like to see WolfPack Volleyball contin-ue to be a presence in volleyball up North,” said Hen-nelly.

“We currently run camps in Quesnel, Terrace and Prince George, with Terrace being our second biggest,” he said.

Hennelly said the camp is open to kids from all over the area.

There were kids from Hazelton and Smithers in attendance last year.

“Certainly kids are welcome to attend from out-side of Terrace,” he said.

The Terrace camp will be held at Caledonia Sec-ondary. Athletes going into grade six to nine are scheduled for 9 a.m. through noon. Grades 10-12 will go from 1:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Registration forms can picked up or dropped off at the recreation offi ce at the Terrace Sportsplex.


TRU Coach Pat Hennelly will be back in Ter-race August 27 - 30 coaching the second ever WolfPack volleyball camp.

Terry Joubert, Vice-President of Pacifi c Trail Pipelines, presents a $1.5-million cheque to Diane Collins, of the PTP Aborigi-nal Skills Employment Partnership Training Society.

Job training partnership receives moneyBy Samantha GarveyTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

TERRACE - A part-nership between First Nations and a pipeline company for job training has received a fi nancial boost.

The Pacifi c Trail Pipelines (PTP) Limit-ed Partnership will give $1.5 million — one in-stallment of a total $2.5 million — toward the training of First Nations through the Pacifi c Trail Pipelines Aboriginal Skills Employment Part-nership (PTPASEP).

“We see lots of op-portunity that will ben-efi t both First Nations and ourselves,” said Terry Joubert, vice-president of the pipe-line partnership and board member of the training program.

The money is part of the contract drawn up between the two or-ganizations in May. The date for the contribution of the second $1 million installment hasn’t been set yet.

“The timing hap-pened to be nice,” said Diane Collins, exec-utive director of the training program, of the fi rst installment, adding she is hopeful another offer of fi nanc-ing will come from the federal government in the next year.

The primary targets for the training are mem-bers of 15 B.C. First Na-tions groups with tra-ditional territory that would be affected by the PTP pipeline upon con-

struction. In proximity to Terrace, the Kitselas First Nations is includ-ed, as well as the Haisla First Nations near Kiti-mat, said Collins, add-ing people have gone through the program from other First Nations too.

To access training, a client interested in the program would contact the offi ces of the train-ing program, and the staff would provide an assessment and then a plan to meet the client’s needs with what the pro-gram offers.

Collins explained that they attempt to bal-ance the needs of the in-dustrial sector and the desires and goals of the individual in the assess-ment.

Then, if a client needs core skills, such as high school upgrades or a tutor for specifi c subjects, that would be arranged through their program.

If a client is ready for specifi c job training, the program can pro-vide money and arrange it through various edu-cational partners, from community colleges to private institutions.

For example, in the fi rst year of the program, 60 clients enrolled in the Piping Industrial Train-ing Board where entry-level welding and foun-dations courses were offered.

Eighteen clients en-rolled in heavy equip-ment training, where, among other skills, equipment operations

training on several ma-chines were offered (Ar-ticulated Rock Truck, Loader, Backhoe, Dozer, Excavator or Grader).

As well, 37 clients enrolled at the Prince George Nechako Ab-original Employment Training Association, and 100 clients at the Kitimat Valley Institute for a variety of trades, technical and job skills training.

Finally, the program will also assist in job re-ferrals and placement.

The proposed natu-ral gas pipeline plans to span 463 km from Sum-mit Lake west to Kiti-mat., transporting lique-fi ed natural gas (LNG) to a new plant to then be exported to Asian buy-ers.

The PTP Limit-ed Partnership is made up of three companies: Apache Canada Ltd. which makes up 40 per cent, EOG Resources and Encana Corporation at 30 per cent each.

The pipeline and the LNG plant are expected to create about 100 per-manent jobs and 3,000 jobs during construction, which will last three and half years, according to the PTPASEP website.

The PTP and the LNG plant in Kitimat will be two employment options for those leav-ing the program and en-tering the job force, but there is no obligation for program graduates to work there.

Collins explained those who receive train-ing are free to seek em-

ployment wherever, and that the program has worked with other local industries prior like Rio Tinto Alcan, for exam-ple, with which some of those trained have land-ed jobs.

In 2010 the program began with $9 million from the federal govern-ment (Human Resources and Skills Development Canada), and additional funding was expected to come from PTP. Be-cause of delays in the pipeline’s construction

the contributions were also delayed, which caused the training pro-gram to branch out and develop other industry partners, which have donated another $9 mil-lion to date, according to Joubert.

The fi nancing from the government then ended March 31 2012.

PTP also has a ben-efi ts agreement with 15 First Nations that have traditional territory that would be affected by the pipeline, said Joubert.
