Colonial Coal signs MOU with the Coast Tsimshian for potential Watson Island use

By Shaun Thomas The Northern View

Colonial Coal announced on November 3 that it had reached a memorandum of understanding with the Lax Kw’alaams and Metlakatla First Nations for a joint venture that would purchase Watson Island from the City of Prince Rupert.

As part of the MOU, Colonial Coal and the Coast Tsimshian will compensate the City for land expenses while undertaking a feasibility study on the use of the island.

“We met with Wayne Drury, who represents Coast Tsimshian, and looked at what could be done with the property....Our

intent is to do something with the island that will be very positive for the community and should be very positive for the port,” said Colonial Coal CEO David Austin, noting a confidentiality agreement between the parties limited what could be discussed in terms of plans for the site.

“Obviously there are environmental issues and other issues with the site...We are aware that there are challenges with the site, but we’re confident we’ll be able to work through those

challenges.”Formed in 2007, Colonial

Coal is a Vancouver-based mining development company specializing in metallurgical coal. It has two resource-stage coal properties in the Peace River Coal Field in northeastern BC.

For its part, the City of Prince Rupert outlined some more details of the exclusivity agreement signed with the Coast Tsimshian. The agreement gives the Coast Tsimshian exclusive rights to

conduct due diligence and to negotiate terms for the sale of the Watson Island property.

Fairview up 50 per cent year-to-year

By Alan S. HaleThe Northern View

The Port of Prince Rupert continued to make big increases in cargo traffic last month when compared to just one year before.

The total number of TEUs (average-sized cargo containers) going to and from Fairview Terminal in October was 50.1 per cent higher than it was a year ago, increasing to a total of 41,465 TEUs. This is basically the same amount of containers that were shipped to and from Fairview Terminal the month before.

Imports at the container terminal were up from last year by 68.4 per cent to 23,507.5 TEUs in October. This is down about 1,400 TEUs from September traffic levels.

Exports from the port grew in October as well, but not nearly as much as imports. They increased by 31.4 per cent to a total of 17,957.5 TEUs. This is down about 2,500 TEUs from September.

The city’s port has been growing so fast since it opened that it has caught the attention of the US Government, which

is currently conducting an investigation to determine if Prince Rupert has an unfair

competitive advantage. There was a huge increase in the

amount of logs moving through the Prince Rupert Harbour last month over the year before. This October, workers moved 56,980 tonnes worth of logs, a whopping 165 per cent increase over the year before; but only about 2,200 tonnes more than they moved in September.

At the Prince Rupert Grain Terminal there were also a massive increase in grains being shipped out of Ridley Island. In October they shipped out 605,680 tonnes of barley, canola and wheat. This

is a staggering increase over last year of 214.4 per cent. A 60,000 tonnes increase from September when they were shipping less grain that the pervious year.

The big increases just keep on coming at Ridley Terminals where they had also shipped out less coal in September than they did the year before. In October though, they shipped out $1.03-million tonnes of metallurgical and thermal coal, and petroleum coke. This is 162.7 per cent more than October of last year and half a million more than they shipped in September.

Accident claims 67-year old maleContributed

The Northern View

On November 3 at 8:44 p.m. Masset RCMP received a report of a 67 years old pedestrian being struck by a vehicle on Raven Ave. in Old Massett.

Members of Masset RCMP arrived on scene and found the elderly male victim unconscious and suffering from life threatening injuries. Members of Old Massett Fire Rescue and several bystanders provided first aid to the victim until BC Ambulance Service were able to take over care and transport to Masset Hospital. Unfortunately the victim

succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced deceased shortly after being admitted to hospital.

The driver of the vehicle that struck the victim stopped immediately and has been cooperating with the investigation. Witnesses have been interviewed as the Masset RCMP are attempting to find how this incident took place. The preliminary investigation has found that speed and alcohol were not factors. Traffic Services accident reconstructionists, the BC Coroners service and BC Motor Vehicle Inspection are assisting with the investigation.

Anyone with information regarding this tragedy can contact the detachment at 250-626-3991.

The US Federal Maritime Commission has released information on the scope of their investigation into whether or not the Port of Prince Rupert and other Canadian ports have an unfair advantage over those on the US west coast.

The commission’s investigation will centre mostly around the Harbour Maintenance Tax; a tax of charged to every carrier that uses a US port based on 0.125 per cent of whatever the cargo is worth. To put that in perspective, the Prince Rupert Northern View asked the Port of Seattle to calculate what the tax costs per container. The American port said that the average price is $80 per container, but it can cost as low as $40 or as high as $250 depending on what’s inside.

Much of the investigation will look into whether or not the maintenance tax is what is causing carriers to start switching to ports that don’t charge it, like Prince Rupert, only to send their goods to American markets by train instead. The investigation was sparked when a group of Congress members from west coast states wrote the Commission with concerns that the tax was hurting American competitiveness by driving away shipping companies to Canadian ports.

But, if the lack of a maintenance tax is not what is attracting shipping companies to Prince Rupert – which is what the Prince Rupert Port Authority maintains – the Maritime Commission wants to hear alternative explanations backed up with hard evidence.

The commission has published a list of the different kinds of information they want to hear from the public and industry testimony.

They want to hear what exactly the difference is in how

ports like Prince Rupert operate when compared to American ones. The Commission wants to hear detailed and specific accounts of the differences in “fees, laws, regulations, cargo handling, customs processes, related terminal/port procedure, infrastructure, or intermodal services” that might affect a shipper’s decision to use a foreign port over an American one. They also want to hear what incentives, like discounts or bonuses, are being offered by foreign ports and terminal operators to shippers.

They want to hear people’s opinions on why shippers are using ports like Prince Rupert over American ones and to provide supporting evidence to back their assertions up.

Besides just knowing and hearing why shipping companies are not using American ports, they also want to hear why importers or other transportation companies like railways or trucking companies might prefer to use foreign ports.

The commission wants to know and – if possible – to quantify what are the advantages and disadvantages of each option that a cargo owner would consider before choosing what port to send their goods to in order to reach American markets. Specifically, what the role of the Harbour Maintenance Tax plays in that decision. They also want to know the pros and cons of the different transportation services being offered at the ports after the cargo is unloaded.

Most importantly, the commission wants to know what the US Government can do to make American ports more competitive with those like Prince Rupert. After all the evidence

is gathered, the Maritime Commission will be making recommendations to congress on who to exactly that.

Making submissions to commission is open to anyone interested in the issue in the US, Canada or Mexico. Anyone from individuals to Port Authorities, importers, or any other business or person affected by the issue are invited to send their submission by email to [email protected].

SHUTTER SHACK


By Shaun Thomas The Northern View

With the expansion plans of the Prince Rupert Port Authority, the modernization of Rio Tinto Alcan, the development of LNG export and the electrification of Highway 37, Industry Training Authority CEO Kevin Evans says more needs to be done to ensure the skilled workers need for those projects are available.

“The region is projected to have a 2.9 per cent increase in jobs in the next decade, which is the largest in the province...We’ll be ready, but

are we ready now? The region will face shortages,” he said.

“Right now there are 40,000 people employed in the Nechako – North Coast region, at one point it was 47,000 so it has dropped. Of those 40,000 about 10 per cent are in the trades. The projection is that by 2020 there will be 46,000 people employed

and about 6,300 of those will be trades positions....If you add up the jobs created by retirement and new economic o p p o r t u n i t i e s , there is a shortage of about 3,620 workers.”

The three biggest areas of growth for the

trades are projected to be machine and transportation m e c h a n i c s , c a r p e n t e r s and heavy e q u i p m e n t o p e r a t o r . While Evans says people will move to the region and c o m p a n i e s will bring people in, he says it is

key that the region develop capacity to allow locals and the young people of the area to benefit from the growth.

“For us to be ready it’s not a question of the capacity at Northwest Community College or the ability of the government to get involved. We need employers to make apprenticeships happen. If companies want to be part of the economic opportunities in the region, they need to invest and take

part in training for workers. The days of poaching workers from the guy next door who did the training are over, it’s no longer a valid strategy for recruitment,” he said,

adding that there will be competition for skilled w o r k e r s

from not just the different parts of the province but from the different parts of the country.

“It’s going to be very much a job seeker’s market. When you offer an apprenticeship, you’re saying to someone ‘we’re willing to invest in you if you’re willing to invest with us’.”

OPINIONNorth Coast

The ongoing saga of Watson Island took another turn this week with the announcement of an MOU between Colonial Coal and the Coast Tsimshian to explore the potential of purchasing Watson Island from the City, who still own the old pulp mill site following Sun Wave Forest Product’s failure to pay taxes.

It’s important to note this announcement takes place while the property is still the focal point of two legal challenges (at least as of Monday). One involves Sun Wave’s claim to the property. The other is much more complicated and precedent setting and deals with whether or not municipalities have to consult with First Nations before selling property, if Aboriginal title is exclusive to one band and only one band on a given property and whether the Gitxaala or Lax Kw’alaams First Nation claim Aboriginal title to Watson Island.

But that’s in the background, right now from where I sit the announcement of this MOU can only be viewed as positive for the community, the region and the province.

The news release was about as vague as could be, and the CEO of Colonial Coal said a confidentiality agreement negated any chance of discussing plans for the site for the near future. Right now Colonial Coal has two properties being developed in northeastern BC, and are likely looking for a way to get their product to the lucrative Asian market. Coast Tsimshian Resources, owned by the Coast Tsimshian, have developed relationships with businesses in that market, have a trade office in China and are successfully shipping

logs to China as I type. Seems like a good partnership to me. Yes, Prince Rupert already has a coal terminal, but looking

at the stats for October, the company is already 22 per cent above the pace of their record year in 2010 and were up 162.7 per cent from last October. Combine that with new long-term

agreements signed last week and they’re going to be busy. Maybe the market can handle another export facility?

When the CEO said their plans will be good for the community and the port, I certainly see no reason not to believe him.

MY VIEW…

Finally, good news from Watson Island

Tales of war are always a hit with visitors to Prince Rupert.

A year after Major B.D.C. Treatt of the British Army arrived in Canada to review coastal defences in October 1936, the Canadian government began building the seven coastal batteries of Prince Rupert harbour.

The Canadian government was ready – had already been waging war for over two years – when the Americans were surprised and unready after Pearl Harbor. By the spring of 1942 the RCAF had stationed 115 (Fighter) Squadron at Annette Island (New Metlakatla) – Canadians defending US territory – and the US made Prince Rupert a Sub-Port of Seattle. Alaska was at first supplied through Prince Rupert, and everything grew even more frenetic in June 1943 when the Japanese attacked Dutch Harbour and then occupied Siska and Attu.

Acropolis Hill became Roosevelt Park as a massive US military presence in Prince Rupert created “Little America.” Protected by North America’s only armoured train,

running between Rupert and Terrace, munitions funneled into the Pacific theatre of the war via Watson Island.

The city’s population grew to four times its prewar size. The Aleutian Islands campaign was waged just beyond the horizon. There were unconfirmed reports of a Japanese spy plane spotted over Seal Cove. City Hall was a Federal Building with sentries, there were antiaircraft guns on the roof of the Cold Storage, and the Sunken Garden was a heavily guarded munitions dump. One CKPR radio announcer said he couldn’t go on-air without heavy army trucks rumbling past the studio, and another fellow told me that he and his buddies once went the entire length of Second Avenue jumping from truck to truck without touching the ground.

The Drydock pumped out four minesweepers and 15 cargo ships – including the minesweeper HMCS Clayoquot, launched in 1941 and torpedoed and sunk by U-806

near Halifax in December 1944. The 7,130-ton North Sands ship Fort Stikine, carrying munitions when it all but obliterated the Bombay waterfront in the great Bombay Explosion of April 1944, was built here in 1942.

Visitors find these stories fascinating. Travel writers pepper us with questions about the war years. They ask questions going back to the Great War.

In 1914 Prince Rupert was a boomtown of newcomers. Here one can clearly see how the bloodbath of Vimy Ridge forged immigrants seeking opportunity into Canadians seeking nationhood. Those newcomers who returned built Section Two with help from the Soldier’s Settlement Board, and founded the enduring families of Prince Rupert.

Yet it seems as if our visitors are more interested in Prince Rupert’s wartime history than we are ourselves. Sure, a cenotaph stands before the Court House, though it’s mostly forgotten 364 days of the year. The US Corps

of Engineers cairn stands at Roosevelt Park, though I’d hazard a guess that most in Prince Rupert have no idea what it represents. The wartime buildings are transformed through time. Others, such as the Legion building or the Elizabeth Apartments, age and fall. The coastal defence batteries – described to me by Parks Canada as the best preserved in the country, and national treasures – lie overgrown in the forest at Barrett Point and ignored by all except those who would see them razed to make way for new development.

These could each be opportunities. Opportunities to tap into an existing market, a ready audience – particularly among fellow Canadians, and American cruise ship passengers, who hunger to touch the Second World War memories of their parents’ generation. Opportunities to celebrate a proud heritage, the only time in history when Prince Rupert’s port truly played on a world stage. But time passes, interest surges just once a year on November 11, and soon we will be left with nothing but the tales that we spin to amuse the visitors.

After so much history, nothing left but the tales of war~ Shaun Thomas

Cops for Cancer say thanks to RupertEditor:The Canadian Cancer Society Cops

for Cancer Tour de North 2011 would like to thank the community of Prince Rupert for its support this year, and over the past 10 years (!), and for the volunteers within the community that helped to make all the fundraising and awareness possible!

Congratulations to the member Rider from Prince Rupert: Jana Starr for contributing to an amazing cohesive team on the road and for her leadership skills in her community in fundraising over $5,700!

So far we have raised over $240,000 and we still have money coming in! Funds raised go to pediatric cancer research, support programs for children and their families and Camp Goodtimes.

If you would like to donate and help children fight cancer please go to www.copsforcancerbc.ca – Tour de North …every little bit counts.

By Andrew Hudson Black Press

Enbridge is doing extensive geotechnical work to avoid the risk of landslides along the proposed route of the Northern Gateway pipelines, says director of engineering Raymond Doering.

“We understand, totally, the features in the area that have resulted in slides that might have affected other pipelines or highways or railways,” he said.

“What we’ve done is work to identify a route that avoids those hazards.”

Doering said the proposed route runs south of existing pipelines, such as the Pacific Natural Gas pipeline that crosses the Telkwa Pass. Other new pipeline proposals, like the Pacific Trails Pipeline, are following that lead.

Over the last 30 years, landslides cut the more northern PNG pipeline three times.

But geotechnical knowledge

has come a long way since then, Doering said.

For example, he said, surveyors now realize why it’s important to know that some 10,000 years ago, the Kitimat Valley was the bottom of the ocean. That land rebounded as Ice Age glaciers melted away, leaving pockets of glacial marine clay that is unstable.

“That’s a very well understood condition now,” Doering said.

“But it wasn’t well understood when the original PNG pipeline

was routed down to Kitimat over 40 years ago.”

Enbridge is doing ongoing fieldwork—digging bore holes, doing remote-sensing flyovers and aerial photography—to assess such risks, he said. Enbridge began its geotechnical surveys in 2005. Last year, the company submitted a long report detailing its geotechnical surveys for the Joint Review Panel that is assessing the project.

“We don’t just look on the corridor,” Doering explained. “We

look as far to either side

of the corridor as necessarily, and sometimes it’s many kilometres.”

Wherever possible, Doering said the proposed route avoids geohazards. Where hazards are unavoidable, his team will engineer ways to mitigate risk.

Enbridge plans to dig two tunnels, one 6.5 km and one 6.6 km long, to route its twin pipelines under the Coast Mountains.

“It’s a huge investment in the safety of the workers and for the long-term operation in the pipeline,” he said.

Leonard AlexceeLeonard Alexcee - Liyaamlaxha

of the Gitnagangeek tribe – says he is running for re-election to the Prince Rupert School Board because he says there is more work to be done.

“I feel that what I contribute

to the school board isn’t complete, I feel I have more to offer,” said Alexcee, who born in Lax K w ’ a l a a m s

and has lived most his life in Prince Rupert.

“Education has always been a big thing to me.”

While Alexcee said money is always a big concern for the district, there is one particular initiative he sees as the top priority going forward.

“The one I would like to see is the government

making a commitment to a new middle school. Every time I open the Province or look online I see a new school in the Lower Mainland or in the Okanagan. Right now the students are using the old PRSS building and it’s not healthy,” he said, adding that he would like to see the district stay the course.

“I think we’re on a good course. We have very good people on the board, that’s not to say everyone else running is not good, but we’re just getting the ball rolling. When I came I was a new trustee, the superintendent was new and the secretary-treasurer was new We’re just starting to gel and my wish is for us to stay the course. .

Alexcee wished everyone in the race the best of luck, and said people should vote for him because he is someone that you can trust.“Whatever your concerns are, you can come and talk to me and I will do my best to bring those forward

to the board,” he said. Marty

BowlesI have

lived in P r i n c e Rupert for 34 years. I have worked for the School District as a teacher of many subjects, from grades four to

12. I have coached almost every sport offered.

My wife, Mae, is a grade two teacher, at Conrad Elementary School. I have raised two children in Prince Rupert and both are graduates of our local public education.

I have been a volunteer in our community at every opportunity. I am a lifetime member of the Northern B.C. Winter Games and I currently sit on the board of the North Pacific Cannery. All this experience would make me an asset to the Prince Rupert School Board.

If our School Board is willing to work with all our stakeholders, we can solve many of our problems locally. We must put our resources into supporting the great work we currently do, in spite of difficult constraints. What little money the Board has, must be spent as close to learners as possible, to relieve class size/composition issues.

Board money is too scarce to be spent on outside consultants, endless

grievances and arbitrations.We do good work in our

District. Our School Board needs to recognize that good work in a concrete way and not just pay lip service to it.

B a r b a r a Gruber is an avid c o m m u n i t y volunteer who was was born and raised in Prince Rupert. Now she’s a grandmother with a grandson in grade 9 and she’s running for a position on the school board.

“I want to be part of the process to insure that our tax dollars are being spent wisely by the school district. I’m very interested in safety of the children, the air quality of the schools they’re going to,” says Gruber.

Gruber says she already has a number of issues she would push for action on if she was elected by Prince Rupert residents to sit on the school board.

First, she says, she wants to have the school board to do something for the kids who have to cross Park Avenue to do so safely instead of dashing across during a lull in the traffic.

“It’s time we either lobbying the department of highways or somebody. There is not even a cross walk for children . . .I’m very concerned about that, especially with 200 trips back and forth of container traffic on Park Avenue” says Gruber.

She also would like to see the school district continue to recognize the importance of extra-curricular activities such as music, art and sports. She says that the district should put more money into them instead of placing the burden on parents to come up with the money.

“I don’t believe that parents should have to fundraise for everything. There must be something somewhere to cut back so they could allocate some funds – I’m not saying all of it – but some funds to be put to outside of school activities,” said Gruber.

Gruber says the number one reason to vote for her is that she will be a strong voice on the board who won’t allow herself to be intimidated into supporting a bad idea, and wants more cooperation and accountability.

“School trustees have a responsibility to answer to the tax payers just as they have to have a good relationship with the parents. I believe we all need to work together.”

Terri-Lynne HuddlestoneI am a long-time resident of Prince

Rupert, born and raised in the community. I am widowed and have a 17-year old son who is attending college. I am currently employed with Northwest Community

College and Northern Health Authority.

I am seeking re-election on the Board of Education for School District No. 52. My passion for education and learning for all of our students has kept me focused on what is important in our community. Through our district achievement plan we have strategies in place that will continue to help our students excel in their efforts to learn, to achieve and to strive for excellence.

It is an exciting time for education with the recent announcement by the Ministry of Education about the new Education Plan that will promote education excellence. I would like to continue the conversations with our education partners on how we can incorporate these changes in our district and how we can better support students.

I have been active within the school district since 1997 through my involvement with the Parent Advisory Councils and the District Parent Advisory Council. I also have volunteered at the provincial and national level working with parents and students to promote public education.

Some of the highlights of my volunteer work are as follows:

BC Confederation of Parent Advisory Councils Board of

Directors – 2001-2008 Canadian Home and School Federation

National Board of Directors – 2001-2008 Canadian Home and School Federation

Western Vice-President – 2004-2008 Success By Six – 2005-present Canada’s Outstanding Principals

Awards National Advisory Committee – 2005 - 2008

National Advisory Council on Child Nutrition (Vice-Chair) – 2007-2009

District Parent Advisory Council – 1999 - 2008

Breakfast for Learning BC Provincial Chapter- 2004-present

Breakfast for Learning National Board of Directors – 2007-present

Special recognition of volunteer efforts:

Canadian Home and School Federation Volunteer Recognition Award- June 2002

BC Confederation of Parent Advisory Councils George Matthews Award – May 2008

Canadian Home and School Federation National Volunteer of the Year Award – June 2011

I hope that my passion and dedication to public education will garner your support for re-election.

I have been employed by CityWest for over 20 years. My wife Jody Kuntz works for Canada Boarder Services and we have

two daughters. Taylor attends Prince Rupert Middle School and Nicole is a student at Pineridge Elementary.

As an incumbent member of the School

Board I’ve been a strong advocate for School District No. 52 and have stood up for the learning needs of all students. I’m proud of making unbiased and well informed decisions

that have faced our School district. A lot of good work has been started in partnership with stakeholders, but there is still more that we can and must do to ensure the success of all of our students. I am looking forward to continuing to serve my community as your representative on the Board.

Tina LastM y

name is Tina Last and I am seeking re-election to the position of school board trustee for a fourth term.

I have been a resident of our community since trekking across the country with my parents from Nova Scotia in 1973 at age 9. My husband Chris and I have been married nearly 30 years and have raised our children in Prince Rupert. This coming June will see us celebrate the graduation of our fourth and final child from our public education system.

It has been my privilege to operate a licensed daycare in my home for the past 17 years, having had countless children come through our doors and enhance the lives of the Last family. I have been surrounded by and dedicated most of my life to children!

It was a natural decision in 2002 to run for school trustee. I have never regretted that decision. It has been a rewarding, and at times daunting, opportunity to affect the lives of the 2000+ students in our community.

The children in our public school system face challenges in today’s world that most of us never dreamed of or anticipated. The technological word these children were born into has changed the way we need to prepare them for their future. The instant access to information has enabled our students to be more informed than ever before. We, as policy makers, must ensure that our students are graduating with the necessary skills to not only survive this new world (like us aging citizens) but to succeed and thrive in it. To achieve this will require examination of our current system including curriculum and the age old September to June calendar and courage to change the way we do things.

I believe I have demonstrated, in the last 3 years in particular, that I do have that

courage and desire to create change that will best benefit the students today and into the future. I thank you for your past support. I ask voters to please again Vote LAST 1st!

Men strut their stuff in Mz. Judged pageantBy Shaun Thomas

The Northern View

The men all wanted them and the women all wanted to be them.

They were the 12 2011 Mz Judged contestants, who on November 4 participated in a mock-beauty pageant to help raise funds for the North Coast Transition Society. The event, which was produced in association with Habour Theatre Society, was held in November as part of the White Ribbon Campaign month, a month where men speak out against violence against women.

For the Mz Judged pageant, the 12 contenders competed in four different portions of the show: the talent portion, swimsuit, evening gown and interviews. Mz Understood (Gary Coons), Cleopatra (Christine White) and Judgy Wudgy (David Smook) made up the judge panel, ultimately deciding the “girls” fate, with the Fabulous Cher Estrada (Rudy Kelly) being the sidesplitting emcee for the evening. The “ladies” started off the

competition with a group dance before moving on to the talent portion.

Mz Pancetta took the stage first, “taking the kitchen back” with her cooking talents. She asked Cher Estrada to join her for her talent, helping Mz Pancetta add the miscellaneous ingredients including a frozen fish and eggs together. Cher Estrada cleverly added that “you can beat eggs, but you can’t beat women”.

Mz Lola (Hondo Arendt) took the stage next, showcasing her singing talents with The Kinks “Lola”.

Three of the lovely ladies, Mz Anita Tuck (Mike Pucci), Mz Dawn Keebals (Greg Sheppard) and Mz Sharon Huzbands (Mike McMillan) performed next, playing an acoustic guitar, the banjo and an electric guitar all while fighting over Jordon Stromdohl.

The beautiful Mz Demeanor (Justin Hindson) was next up, showing off her country singing and dancing skills to Miley Cyrus’ Hoedown Throwdown.

Mz Remembered (Steve Maguire) then took the stage, performing Canadian-

musician Amanda Marshall’s hit song “I Believe in You” on guitar in a lovely evening gown.

The hilarious Mz Taken Nightly (Keith Lambourne) showcased her opera skills with an interesting version of “It’s Raining Men”. Before starting, she had some under-dress help raising her voice.

Next up was Mz Gaga (Kenn Long) whose talent was of course

singing and dancing. The pop star-inspired competitor performed “Bad Romance”, memorizing many dance moves straight out of the song’s music video.

Mz Tree (Taylor MacKenzie) was up next, showing off her archery “talents”.

Madonna, gymnastics and juggling were incorporated in Mz Anita Zee Planner’s (Zeno Krekic) talent, with balls flying out into the crowd.

Finally, Mz Spelled (Shaun Thomas) took the stage, performing a rendition of “Red Neck Women”, changing the lyrics hilariously to suit Prince Rupert for “Rupert Woman”.

The second half of the show started off with the swimsuit portion of the competition, with each girl being brought to centre stage to show off their rocking female bodies, before the group performed another dance to “Fever”. It was then time for seven contestants to be eliminated.

The final five contestants were Mz. Anita Zee Planner, Mz. Gaga, Mz. Demeanor, Mz. Remembered, and Mz Spelled. The five lovely ladies then moved on the interview portion, answering questions such as “If you could bring one item to a dessert island what would it be?” and “What would you rather be, less beautiful and more smart, or more smart and less beautiful?”

In the end, Mz Gaga was crowned the winner of the 2011 Mz Judged competition. The amount raised from the Mz Judged contest was unavailable as of press time. Look in this Friday’s Northern Connector.

By Tom KorskiHill Times

Remembrance is a ritual in Parliament.

Yet a former MP with an astonishing war record, British Columbian and Prince Rupert resident Cy Peck, is forgotten in the House in which he served. Peck remains the only sitting member of any Commonwealth Parliament ever to win the Victoria Cross.

“Wow!” said New Democrat Nathan Cullen, MP for Skeena-Bulkley Valley, the riding Peck represented long ago.

“As you’re telling me this, it is the first I am hearing of it.”

Cullen paused: “I guess it shows Parliament’s weakness in honouring its past. This is a shame. It’s a mistake we can correct.”

Peck died of a stroke in 1956. He left no memoirs.

“My father was a modest man,” recalled Ed Peck, 86

“He didn’t regard his achievements as worthy of praise. He felt he just did a job.”

And his Victoria Cross?“He kept it in a drawer in his

bedroom.”Coveted by collectors worldwide,

Peck’s VC might have sold for six figures at auction; instead the family made a gift of it to his old battalion, the 16th Canadian Scottish, in 1987.

Peck loved the battalion; he was the first Canadian commander of the war to “restore the ancient tradition of piping men into action,” Ed recounted in a privately published biography Cy Peck, VC. At Vimy, Peck led troops into combat with a bagpiper at his side and a pistol in his hand, roaring above the shell fire: “She’s a bear, boys! She’s a bear!”

Today, Peck’s VC is preserved at the Canadian War Museum in Ottawa.

Greg Kerr, chairman of the Commons’ veteran affairs committee, was at the museum the other

day.“We’ve all become used to the simple

soundbite,” he said.“There used to be stories. Now we’re in such

a rush.” Kerr is Conservative MP for West Nova. Years

ago he taught high school history in Bridgetown, N.S. He had a great uncle, John Chipman Kerr, who received the VC in 1916.

“History is not about memorization,” he said.“It’s about the lesson to be learned: “What

does this mean?”Parliament Hill takes pride in its historical

memory. Scores of plaques are displayed in tribute to obscurities. One commemorates an 1814 raid on French Mills, N.Y.; another commemorates an MP who died in a fire. For Cy Peck: nothing.

“I did not know about this individual,” said Conservative MP Rob Moore (Fundy Royal, NB), chairman of the Commons Heritage Committee.

“Someone who’s awarded the Victoria Cross: Canadians should learn more about this man.”

Moore’s committee is planning the nation’s 2017 sesquicentennial celebration. Perhaps it should honour people like the fighting MP from Skeena, he said.

Peck enlisted at 43. In surviving newsreel footage he stands a burly figure with a walrus moustache; Peck was 5’˙8” and 225 lbs.

“He was big, powerful - huge arms; built like a rugby player,” said his son.

Peck tramped for gold in the Klondike, worked as a farm hand in Kansas and a carpenter in London. He settled in Prince Rupert in 1908 as one of the founders of the town and partner in a salmon cannery.

“To us he is well known,” said Jean Eiers-Page, a Prince Rupert city archivist.

“We display his portrait on Remembrance Day.”

Peck’s story dramatizes wartime service that today is almost unthinkable.

Twenty-seven MPs went on active service in the First World War; one was killed in action, George Baker of Brome, Que. He is immortalized in a life-sized statue in the Commons foyer. Another MP, Henri Bacland of Beauce, Que., was holidaying in Europe at the outbreak of

war and volunteered to aid refugees. Bacland was captured in occupied Belgium, and survived to write the liveliest memoir of any Parliamentarian: My Three Years in a German Prison.

In Alberta, one-fifth of the legislature enlisted. In Nova Scotia, the lieutenant-governor saw five sons in uniform. The defence minister, Sidney Mewburn of Hamilton, Ont., had 22 nephews and cousins on the Western Front and lost a son killed in action. War was often a family affair; soldiers of the Canadian Expeditionary Force included 1,079 Kellys, 475 Porters and 284 Lalondes.

And there was Cy Peck, twice wounded. His battalion suffered 72 per cent casualties in three

months; “One by one my old men go,” Peck wrote. He survived the 1915 Battle of Ypres, 1916

Battle of the Somme, 1917 Battle of Vimy Ridge and 1918 Battle of Arras-Cambrais, where the MP leapt from a shell hole under machine-gun fire to direct British tanks to high ground.

The feat earned Peck the VC. He was a “Wonder Man” whose troops “would

follow him anywhere,” reported the Montreal Daily Star.

“I am sure you’d be having a tough time finding someone here that actually knew about this,” said Conservative MP Gordon Brown (Leeds-Grenville, Ont.), a member of the Committee on Canadian Heritage.

In Parliament, said Brown, “there is not a collective memory.”

Peck served one term in the House.He was an Independent. He was a Liberal, then Conservative, then

concluded “there is very little difference between the two” he told the Commons in 1919;

“In the trenches we have no politics.” Peck lost re-election by 38 votes in 1921, a

hard year for incumbents. He later served nine years in the BC legislature but was “disillusioned by politics” said Ed Peck.

“He was too independent. He was not the kind of man to toe a party line.”

Cy Peck served.And Parliament does not know his name.

Editor’s note: We would like to thank Mr. Korski for allowing us to reproduce this article on Cy Peck. The Prince Rupert Regional Archives also graciously provided this additional information on Mr. Peck.

- Cy Peck and his nephew Don Moore built Cassiar Cannery in 1903 and four years later was involved with the Georgetown Sawmill, 17 miles north of Prince Rupert. He was also an agent for the shipping firm Lloyds of London.

- He was a member of the Masonic Temple, charter member of the Prince Rupert and Wanderer’s Clubs, and a member of the Board of Trade. Source: Prince Rupert Pioneer’s Association, 1914

- Peck was awarded the Victoria Cross medal in 1918 for bravery.

When we look at our remote little city, it’s hard to think of this sleepy patch of rainforest as having any particular significance or affect on what goes on in the world.

The challenges the globe faces are so large, nuanced and intimidating; and we are so small and just trying to keep dry most of the time. How could a small group of a couple thousand people ever make an impact on global issues that seem so far out of our control?

But, it seems that every time this town finds itself needing to step up to the plate, the people here pull together and achieve things that people who might judge us on our size and remoteness may not think us capable of. Today we stand at the precipice of a colossal change in how the world’s economy works. The Asian economies are on the rise and the people here have jumped head first into this brave new reality and sometimes there’s a very real sense feeling that if we fail we could take down the community with us.

But before we were trading with those across the Pacific, we were at war with them.

Before the Second World War, Prince Rupert was little more than a large fishing community nestled in a corner of the world that was of little consequence to anyone other than those who lived here. Then Pearl Harbour happened. Because of our proximity to Japan, what was once an anonymous community of 6,000 people quickly grew into a small fortress of 35,000 people.

For those living here before the war the change must have left their own town unrecognizable to them in just a few short years.

Nine different forts complete with ant-aircraft guns sprouted around the community. The city’s waterfront was turned into essentially a floating factory complete with its machine shops dry dock and supply depots.

The main supply warehouse and its rail

yard had to be camouflaged so that ships at sea couldn’t see it and fake trees were placed on top to hide it from enemy bombers.

There was a real fear that the Japanese would send hydrogen-filled paper balloons armed with incendiary bombs to fly across the ocean and cause forest fires wherever they landed.

With 19,000 new people coming into the city for the war effort, infrastructure and housing had to be built with lightning speed – with 1940’s technology and our weather, no less – many of which is still being used or lived-in today.

The transformation from quiet fishing town to a strategically important military shipyard almost six times the original size, on the front line of a war that everyone was afraid of losing would have overwhelmed a lesser community. But we pulled our selves together and we did it.

And when the war was over and we weren’t as important anymore, the military either tore-down their buildings or left them to rot. People left town and we were left to pick up where we left off after the city had been changed forever. And we managed to do that too. The town went on to prosper until the mill closed and the town fell into the slump that we are now pulling together to get ourselves out of.

On Remembrance Day, a lot will be said about what was done overseas. But what is not talked about is the communities back home that had to “keep calm, and carry on” (to borrow the famous British war-time slogan). Communities like Prince Rupert that held public concerts and bake sales to raise money for victory bonds, who had to see their boys go away to fight other boys while

being a strategic military base on the front line of a war with a far from certain conclusion.

Prince Rupert may have had its problems and its challenges but it will survive, because that’s what we do - We pull together in times of adversity and we prevail.

If every community in Canada could be this strong we would have nothing

Our role in the World War II

Prince Rupert City & Re-gional Archives\ photo

Prince Rupert was a busy, boom-ing town during World War II.

By Martina Perry The Northern View

Canadian blues-rocker Colin James was in the City of Rainbows last week to perform the last show on his 3,000 kilometre Colin James Up Close and Personal Tour - an Acoustic Tour with special guest Chris Caddell presented by Astral Radio and Television.

The evening started off with Caddell performing two of his original songs solo, before James entered the stage to join him. At this time, Caddell told the audience how pleased he is to be playing “with one of his idols”.

One of the first songs the duo performed was “Better Way to Heaven” from James’ 2005 album “Limelight”, with the two then moving on to Otis Redding’s “These Arms of Mine”, one of the songs James recorded on his cover-song album “National Steele”.

Between songs, James shared many stories of his experiences,

including his travels around Canada as a young musician in the late 1980’s right before “Five Long Years”, another song the duo performed together, was first heard on the radio.

The pair finished the first set with “Man Gotta Be a Stone”, the first single from James’ most recently album, “Rooftops and Satellites” released in 2009.

The second half of the concert started off with James’ performing

a song by his lonesome before Caddell rejoined him on stage before playing “I Live the Life I Love”, a Willie Dixon blues tune that James’ covered on his Juno A w a r d -w i n n i n g a l b u m N a t i o n a l S t e e l e . The two then went on to play “Freedom” f r o m J a m e s ’

1995 album “Bad Habits”, an album that he received a Juno Award for.

Although there were very few brave individuals who got up and danced, the audience didn’t fall short when it came to showing their support and excitement through screaming and applauds.

Other popular songs James’ and Caddell performed

included “Voodoo Thing” and “Into the Mystic”.

James’ is an award-winning musician, receiving six Juno Awards in his lifetime, two of which were for “Male Vocalist of the Year”, as well as three Toronto Blues Society Maple Blues Awards. James’ started receiving recognition early in his career winning a Juno

Award for the “Most Promising Male Vocalist of the Year” for his first self-titled album.

James has continued to top the charts and tour over the past two decades, opening for music industry bigwigs such as Stevie Ray Vaughan, George Thorogood, John Lee Hooker and ZZ Top

A born a raised Prince Rupertite, Judy Carlick-Pearson is well known for her excellence in basketball and community involvement. Her dedication to her sport (basketball) has been recognized not only locally but provincially. Her passion for basketball and commitment to the game shows through in her daily life. Amongst several other basketball awards, Judy was the rst female to be inducted to the All Native Basketball Hall of fame in the 50 year celebration. She is not only a great leader on the court, but off as well and works diligently at being a reputable role model. Currently, Judy is coaching two divisions in minor basketball

and is volunteering 8 hrs per week to the league. She takes pride in being able to coach her nephews Kade and Kolby and other little cousins. She has dedicated 7 years to this league amongst other volunteer work. This is Judy’s contribution back to all of the committed mentors and coaches that guided her throughout the years.

Judy is married to her husband Troy of 7 years and they have a 2 year old son Carver. Together they own a Sports shing charter named the Tsimshian Haidaway Fishing. They enjoy living in Prince Rupert opposed to the larger cities because it is a great place to raise their son; they have a lot of family support, the shing is amazing and the cost of living is manageable. As a family, they enjoy so many things about Rupert but more than anything it is “home to them”.

After a long deliberation with family and friends, Judy is running for the Prince Rupert City Council. And even though she is very busy with all of her other commitments; volunteer work, sports, tness, photography, art class, toastmas-ters, running the business and mothering, she is determined to make time for city council. Judy’s education in criminology and political science gives her the knowledge base to work in this type of setting. She also has experience working collaboratively and collectively and is quite assertive.

A vote for Judy will give you a stronger voice, a vote for Judy will give you the change you have been awaiting, and a vote for Judy will give you an honest, re-spectful and hardworking councillor. - Promoting increased community safety for children, youth, homeowners,

neighbourhoods and businesses. - Promoting the need for increased community programs to families;

preventative programs, parenting programs, sporting programs. - Promoting the health and success of all small businesses. - Promoting economic development with the intention of hiring locally and

training locally. - Promoting safe environmental practices by making sure there are no major risks associated with new developments or projects.

On November 9,14,16 and 19th Vote Judy Carlick-Pearson. Of ce number 250-627-4535 or [email protected]

One of the things I hear from American tourists travelling through Canada, are curious questions about how expensive all the wines seem to be up here.

I have to admit that after taking a few trips to the states over the years I am rather jealous of the sheer glut of beautiful wines that are available at very cheap prices. Two buck chuck isn’t just a cute way of describing inexpensive wines in the United States – you can actually find wine that sells for

$2 per bottle! For us as Canadians, we know this just doesn’t happen. The comparisons that I hear about are major California based brands that sell for $4 a bottle in the United States, but show up on Canadian liquor store shelves for $13. Why is there such a difference?

In large part the liquor and wine sales in Canada are controlled by a very small group of people. Imagine for a second that we allowed wine agents to import wines from California, mark them up slightly and sell them in liquor

stores across Canada at competitive prices like $6 per bottle. How on earth would we ever sell home grown Canadian wines that can barely be produced for that price? Make no mistake – wine is a big business like many others, there are lobbyists, policy makers, people on the take and a young industry that is trying

to grow and gain credibility. In order to protect the

interests of Canadian wine producers, it is a much better idea to price imported wines from other countries competitively on their taste profile rather than strictly their import price. Unfortunately

for the Canadian consumer there is little comfort in this knowledge, except that you are helping to support a young industry with strong growth potential and eventual economies of scale. As Canadian wines get better and better, we will actually see the value of import wines increase as

well because they will remain competitively priced with a high product quality.

Port CEO provides input on budgetBy Alan S. Hale The Northern View

MPs from the parliamentary finance committee were in Prince Rupert late last month to gather input for the next federal budget from a handful of representatives from northern BC.

Talking to the committee from Prince Rupert was the CEO of the Prince Rupert Port Authority, Don Krusel, and Louisa Sanchez who was representing First Call: BC Child and Youth Advocacy Coalition. They were also joined by representatives from the Mining Association of Canada and the Clean Energy Association of British Columbia.

The purpose of the meeting was to gather input and ideas that could be used in the Conservative government’s next federal budget. Meetings like this have been scheduled in communities all over Canada and Prince Rupert was stop number 20.

The Port Authority CEO told MPs that the federal government’s decision to invest over a billion dollars to help build the Fairview Container Terminal was a wise one that has paid off for the community and for the country. Krusel cited the fact that the port has seen its traffic grow year after year since it open for business.

“Today the Port of Prince Rupert serves as the North American gateway of the northwest

transportation corridor. This corridor extends to central Canada and also on to Chicago and beyond to Memphis and New Orleans. It connects the populations and industry of central North America to the rapidly growing Asian economies,” says Krusel.

With the port planning to increase its capacity to 100-million tonnes in the next few years, Krusel told MP’s that the Federal Government should continue to spend money on the Prince Rupert Port and other kinds of infrastructure that support trade through the Asia Pacific Gateway with the rapidly rising economies just across the pacific. Failure to do so would be a missed opportunity for Canada’s economic future said Krusel.

“Without the continued expansion of port infrastructure, Canada’s resources and products will be shut out of international markets. It would be like building a grand mansion with many rooms, but with no front door to gain access to its rooms,” says Krusel.

With such a large increase in ship traffic from northern BC, New Democratic MP, Alain Giguère, wondered if the Prince Rupert Port would be prepared for a tanker or another kind of ship sinking off the North Coast. Krusel said that despite all the concern about a catastrophe from oil tankers, the danger is being exaggerated.

National Aboriginal Business Opportunities Conference returning to Rupert in 2012By Shaun ThomasTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - After a suc-cessful event in 2011 organizers of the National Aboriginal Busi-ness Opportunities Conference announced that the event will be returning to Prince Rupert this April,bringing hundreds of guests from across Canada and beyond to the community.

“Last year we attracted 265 participants. The North Coast Convention Centre can hold 300 people, and I expect we will sell out the conference by the end of December...We have a char-ter with Hawkair, Air Canada is

booked and we’re also expecting in-ternational dele-gates because there is a lot of interest from Asia and Eu-rope because of what is going on in the region.”,” said organizer and 2G Group CEO Geoff Greenwell.

“Prince Ru-pert was an exper-iment last year, it was the fi rst time, and it was very well received by the participants and the commu-nity. We are very encouraged by

that, and there is so much going on in the northwest with the port development, the Northwest Transmis-sion Line and energy and mining develop-ments...There is im-mense interest in the area, so it makes sense to come back.”

The event will be held from April 18 to April 20, and Green-well says last year’s event brought in about

$500,000 to the Prince Rupert economy through spin-off like accommodations and tours. A

preliminary agenda has been put online at www.2ggroup.ca, with a focus on the port, mining and project development in the area.

“We try to make sure the themes are of interest and rele-vant to both the First Nations and private sector participants,” ex-plained Greenwell.

“It was a really great confer-ence last year and we’re looking forward to an even better one this year.”

Already all of the major sponsors from 2011 have agreed to sponsor the conference again, and Greenwell said addition-al sponsors have signed up as well.

“There is immense interest in the area, so it makes sense to come back.”

MP wants reduction plant deal

◆ FISHERIES By Alan S. HaleThe Northern View

MP, Nathan Cullen, says that he’s dismayed by the closing of the JS. McMillian processing and rendering plant at the end of last month and the loss of all 82 jobs it provided to Prince Rupert residents.

“The reduction plant not being

there is critical to the infrastructure of the region and we’re going to have to sit down with the community and find out what options exist,” said Cullen.

Cullen says that having the reduction plant in Prince Rupert “makes perfect sense and only sense to have it there,” but says he doesn’t understand what the obstacles are to keeping the plant open.

“The whims of the fishing industry are difficult to understand even at the best of times. But these are really trying times for the shore workers who are facing an uncertain future, not just in the plants, but in the entire industry,” said` Cullen.

Joy Thorkelson with the United Fisherman and Allied Workers Union has said that the closure of the reduction plant doesn’t make

sense because the other processing operations will now be left with nowhere in town to send the offal produced by the processed fish.

Without that service she worries that the entire fish processing industry in Prince Rupert is now at risk since the companies might find it easier to offload the fish here and send it down south where they have reduction plants to be processed.

Andrews Sisters Tribute takes the stageBy Martina Perry

The Northern View

On Sunday, November 6, a decently sized crowd at the Lester Centre of the Arts witnessed a blast from the past when Company Jump: Andrews Sisters Tribute performed as the third production in the Prince Rupert Concert Society’s 2011/2012-concert season.

Company Jump; Andrews Sister Tribute was produced and written by Nadine Tremblay, who is also sings and acts in the production along side Andrea Isaak and Marie West. The trio has been performing together for five years now, doing this particular show for close to three, currently traveling around the Province putting on performances.

At Sunday’s performance, the trio played a number of popular Andrews Sisters’ songs, including “Don’t Sit Under the Apple Tree”, “Six Jerks in a Jeep” and “(I’m Getting) Corns for my Country”, while being accompanied by a full swing band.

The comical musical theater production incorporated lots of spectator involvement, bringing up members of the audience on

stage a couple times during the show, as well as synchronized dancing and witty in-between-song banters between the girls.

The Andrew Sisters were a family trio from Minnesota that was active from 1925 to 1967. MCA Records last official record-sell count of the Andrews Sister done in the mid-1970’s had the ladies at 75 million albums sold, making them one of the most popular girl groups of all time.

MP defends his gun stance

By Alan S. Hale The Northern View

MP Nathan Cullen found himself again having to clarify his own position as the drama surrounding the repeal of the Long Gun Registry continues to unfold in Ottawa.

In the past, Cullen has broken ranks with his party to support the repeal of the registry which has been a consistent goal of the ruling Conservatives since they took office. Now the Tories want to destroy all the records from the registry which would effectively prevent the provinces from establishing their own. This has caused anger on the art of some provinces like Quebec, which is now planning to sue the Federal Government for access to the files.

Cullen says he supports getting rid of the long gun registry in principle, but says the approach the Tories are using to go about it is excessive.

“This is just turning into a mess. The government had a clear mandate to end the Long Gun Registry, and I support that declaration. But nobody in this last election from the Conservatives

talked about burning it . . . I feel quite conflicted now that they’ve put this poison pill in the bill,” says Cullen.

Cullen accused the Conservatives of wanting to destroy the registry data “out of spite” to prevent the provinces from creating their own. The Tories have argued that the data should be destroyed because it contains personal information on gun owners who have registered.

On Tuesday, the Privacy Commissioner, Jennifer Stoddart, damaged that justification when she determined that Canadian privacy law does not prevent the federal government from sharing information with the provinces or the police for use in law enforcement.

Cullen says that with no privacy concerns and at least one province determined to create its own registry, he feels that the Tories are running out of justifications for shredding the documents. Cullen says that smaller jurisdictions with actual problems with gun violence should be able to set up their own registries.

“ I don’t think hunters and farmers up north care if people in Quebec still insist on some form of a registry,” he said.

Rampage hand Quesnel their first lossBy Shaun Thomas

The Northern View

The Quesnel Kangaroos became the second team in as many weeks to roll into the Jim Ciccone Civic Centre arena with an undefeated record only to fall to the Rampage on home ice, as the Rampage took down the Kangaroos in a game that required a shootout to resolve.

It was Quesnel that struck first following more than 10 minutes of back and forth play as Alessio Tomassetti put one by Keith Movold with 8:54 to play. The Rampage responded though, as Jared Andreesen’s slapshot on the powerplay got by Josh Levesque made it a 1-1 game with 2:34 to play, but the tie was short lived when Joey MacDonald restored Quesnel’s one goal lead just 51 seconds later and with just 1:43 to play. As a result, Quesnel would take a 201 lead into the second period.

Unlike the close opening to the first period, the second period saw the teams tally four goals before five minutes had been played in the frame. Paul Girodat put Quesnel up by two just 49 seconds in, and Justin Fontaine responded with a goal for the Rampage less than 20 seconds after that. 67 seconds later Shawn Fulton found the back of the net to put the Roo’s up by two, and that lead was extended to three when Rigby Bergart put one past Movold at the four minute mark. Things calmed down a bit after that offensive onslaught, and it would be Rupert that struck next with Byton Tates narrowing the gap to two. A goal by Brett Stava with 3:14 to play pulled the Rampage to within one heading into the final 20 minutes, ensuring an exciting finish for the fans in attendance.

As the Rampage looked to tie things up and Quesnel looked to protect their lead, the result was an exciting period that remained scoreless until late in the frame when Andreesen put home his

second of the game to tie things up with just 3:11 to play to bring the crowd to their feet. The remainder of the third was scoreless, leading to a shootout with the Kangaroos unbeaten record on the line.

In the shootout, Movold turned aside Girodat while Brett Stava got one by Levesque to put the Rampage up one. That would prove to be all they needed, as Movold shut down both Alessio and Nick Tomassetti to give the Rampage the 5-4 victory and their second straight win.

In other western conference action, the Kitimat Ice Demons run of bad luck continued as they lost to both the Terrace River Kings and the Quesnel Kangaroos in consecutive shootouts on Saturday and Sunday night to bring their winless streak to four. Terrace defeated Kitimat to lessen the gap in the standings. The Demons lead the conference with 10 points (4-2-2), followed

by the River Kings with six points (3-5-0) followed by the Rampage with five points (2-5-1).

The Smithers Steelheads, who were not in action this weekend, are the only unbeaten team in the league.

The Rampage will now travel to Terrace for a game against the River Kings on Saturday night. The next time the team plays at home will be on November 26 and 27 for a double-header against the Terrace River Kings on Saturday night and the Hazelton Wolverines on Sunday afternoon.
