CONTRIBUTED PHOTO / THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - Ria Smith of Hazelton, right, was one of the big winners March 28 at a business development event held in Prince Rupert. She won $10,000 for having the best new business idea - a mobile food company. The ThriveNorth event was staged by Futurepreneur Canada and financed by BG Canada, one of the companies with plans to build a lique-fied natural gas plant on the north coast. That’s Futurepreneur Canada CEO Julia Deans presenting the cheque. For more on the ThriveNorth competition and enterprise, please turn to Page 9.

Another gold mine project approvedVANCOUVER - The provincial government has given its bless-ing to another potential mine, this time the Brucejack gold proj-ect north of Stewart owned by Pretium Resources.

In releasing the decision to grant an environmental assess-ment certificate, environment minister Mary Polak and mines minister Bill Bennett noted the company will store a portion of its waste tailings underground and won’t need a tailings storage facility and dam.

Other tailings will be depos-ited into Brucejack Lake which does not contain any fish.

But the ministers did add wa-ters from the area do flow into the Unuk River.

“This is an important river with fisheries values for British Columbia and Alaska and was the focus of the involvement and comments of US state and feder-al officials,” they said.

For that reason, the two min-isters said there would be condi-tions on the final environmental permit.

“The project will move for-ward only when, and if, regu-lators are satisfied proposed discharges will comply with pro-vincial guidelines and therefore will not cause significant adverse effects to the receiving environ-ment and the Unuk River,” they said.

The ministers also said the Nisga’a Lisims Government and

adjacent aboriginal groups had been involved in project planning and have approved of the propos-al.

They were satisfied that cer-tificate conditions would balance any social and other effects on the Nisga’a, the Tahltan and the Skii km Lax Ha.

As with other existing and proposed projects in that region, Pretium will have to pay into a management program to finance efforts to maintain the moose population.

The mine would draw power by constructing an extension to BC Hydro’s 138kV line which now serves Stewart.

Pretium has indicated it will take measures to reduce the foot-

print of the work needed to put in the hydro line.

Pretium says it has enough mineable material for a mine lasting 18 years to produce an estimated 7.3 million ounces of gold.

The estimated project cost is approximately (US) $750 mil-lion, which Pretium still needs to raise although the company hopes to begin work soon.

Construction is expected to result in 500 jobs with 300 jobs mining jobs afterward.

The project still requires the environmental approval of the federal government.

The exact area where Pre-tium wants to work has been called the Valley of the Kings.

Subdivision planned for Prince RupertBy Shaun ThomasTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - Plans for the recently-cleared land at the end of Park Avenue became ap-parent during the March 23 Prince Rupert city council meeting with a new block of housing slated for the area.

The Bryton Group formally outlined its plans for 30 single fam-ily lots in what it is call-ing the Oceanview De-velopment Property, with 15 of those to di-rectly overlook the BC Ferries terminal and the harbour.

As well as the hous-ing, the developers have included plans to extend Graham Avenue to con-nect with Highway 16 just before the terminal.

However, city plan-ner Zeno Krekic noted the construction of the road, which would cre-ate another means of ac-cessing the upper west-side, is contingent upon the Bryton Group pur-chasing small pieces of land from the City of Prince Rupert and BC Ferries.

“The location of this development has both opportunities and chal-lenges,” he said.

“At the top of the list of opportunities is the aspect and the view. The aspect of this, with the sunlight, is probably one of the prime locations in Prince Rupert ... one of the more dominant challenges, on the other hand, is that this prop-erty is pinched between a number of transpor-tation corridors. There is the highway, two fer-ries, CN and Fairview docks,” continued Kre-kic.

Council gave first reading to rezone the property to accom-modate the residential plans.

But it has also in-structed the developer to hold a public informa-tion session prior to sec-ond reading after which a formal public hearing will need to be held.

As well, the city said it wants the Bry-ton Group to “confirm certainty of land pur-chases” to ensure the road connecting Graham and Park Avenue can be built.

Since the meeting, the Bryton Group has scheduled a public infor-mation session on April 15 from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the Highliner Inn.

The current plan for

development is only 25 per cent of the original proposal, noted the com-pany in its submission to council.

According to coun-cil the initial plan in-cluded multi-family res-idential developments to the east of the new housing, but the Bryton Group said “meetings with the City of Prince Rupert have resulted in the scaled down applica-tion”.

Trailer write offstill unresolvedBy Cameron OrrTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

KITIMAT - Kitimat Council will press ahead in an effort to resolve a tax-write off issue in the Vista Vil-lage Trailer Park.

Last month council opted to hold off deciding on issuing a tax write-off to a dilapidated trailer on encouragement from the Housing Resource Project that arrangements could be worked out that could make all parties happy, including those who have gone through the revolving door of ownership of the trailer.

The owner of the park, Lee Ann Wolfin, has wanted the tax write off because without it she can’t have the trailer demolished. The District treasur-er also supported the write off, saying the effort to recoup the approximately $1,300 tax bill could be more costly than washing their hands of it.

When council held off allowing a tax write off last month they hoped the one month time buf-fer would give the Housing Resource the chance to reach the owner and work out a solution.

A report from housing worker Paul Lagace to council shows attempts were made but did not prove fruitful in resolving the issue.

Even so there is a detailed proposal on how to handle the trailer that won’t require a tax write off.

Council approved for their staff to write to Wol-fin to present the plan.

The proposed plan comes in several steps, which does include repayment of the taxes to the District.

The plan has the current owner offering to pay the taxes, even as the taxes are owed under the name of a previous owner, while allowing the current own-er to sell the trailer, at an asking price of $5,000.

On sale of the trailer, the new owner would have to commit to fixing the stairs to the door and fix the leaks on the roof within six weeks. The report says those actions would address concerns on the trailer’s condition while also showing there are no tenancy transfer issues at the park with the owner.

While the option to merely go ahead with the tax write-off process was there, and discussed, council clearly seemed interested in continuing to press the issue. “I’m willing to give the cat one last kick to see if something works,” said Larry Walker.

Free winter parking, ramp upgrades sought at RushbrookBy Shaun ThomasTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - Wes Baker is asking city council to lift some of the financial burden for Prince Ru-pert boating enthusiasts while also making it safer for people to launch from Rushbrook Floats.

Baker, who was joined in council by a number of support-ers, presented council with a peti-tion signed by 143 people asking the city to remove the parking fee

for the winter months and make it cheaper for taxpayers to use the fa-cility.

“We propose to change the by-law to allow daily parking at no cost for all boat trailers launch-ing from Rushbrook from Oct. 1 to May 1 of each year. Present-ly, only a small number of locals launch in the winter and the lot is mostly empty ... Cow Bay parking is free year-round, so why not free winter parking at Rushbrook?” he said.

“The other change would be to allow local residents who pay taxes to buy one annual pass for the parking lot at Rushbrook for $100. It could be purchased when they pay their annual utilities bill or residential taxes in early July ... right now it is $200 for a truck and boat trailer and that is just at the level people won’t pay for it be-cause you would have to go out 20 times to cover the cost. A reduced charge of $100 seems a lot more reasonable.”

The idea was one that found vo-cal support from some on council.

“During the winter that parking lot is empty ... during the winter I don’t see why the taxpayer should be punished when they want to go out fishing and there is an empty lot,” said Coun. Barry Cunnning-ham.

But it wasn’t just the fee for parking Baker took issue with, call-ing the condition of the launch ramp “embarrassing”.

“Right now there are pieces of

it missing and boat trailers are be-ing damaged when they go over the edge at the bottom or hit one of the rocks at low tide,” he explained.

“Surely if the city can afford 51 slots for yachts to moor, it can af-ford to properly maintain the ramp at Rushbrook.”

Mayor Lee Brain noted that work is already underway on the Rushbrook file.

“We are definitely aware of the issue and want to come to a resolu-tion,” he said.

Gateway doc gets northern screenings

Slight movement on strike front

By Cameron OrrTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

KITIMAT - Two Vancouver-based journalists have produced a documentary on the Enbridge Northern Gateway Project, and the � lm is seeing a premier in the Northern region of B.C.

Tomas Borsa told the Sentinel that releasing the � lm in the North was done as a kind of respect, where other times it seems jour-nalists may descend on a location and leave without ever catching up with their local supporters af-terwards.

He said it’s also a form of peer review.

“We thought of it almost as peer review,” he said. “It only makes sense to us to premier it in the north because we’re bound to have gotten something wrong.”

The � lm was co-made with Borsa and Jean-Philippe Marquis.

“It’s largely interviews with people who are affected by [Gate-way], who live in the immediate path of it,” said Borsa.

There is extensive use of his-torical archives, and covers per-spectives from the oil source in Alberta right to the coast.

He said the � lm does touch on the plebiscite in Kitimat, and the 1976 Kitimat pipeline proposal called Paci� c Link.

Borsa said four people are featured in Kitimat-segments in the � lm, while around 20 peo-ple were interviewed through the � lming process.

“The � lm also actually opens with this scene in Kitimat, and looks at this 1976 Kitimat pipe-line proposal,” he said, and noted Kitimat gets another 10 minutes

dedicated later in the � lm.As for the themes of the � lm,

Borsa says it’s a look back at past proposals and how residents and companies can learn for the fu-ture.

“It seems that history has a funny way of repeating itself,” he said. “Even if the Northern Gate-way doesn’t go ahead...I pretty much guarantee that within � ve years there will be another proj-ect.”

He adds, “Learning from the mistakes of the past will be very important.

“They [companies] need to look back on these public hear-ings...and be a little more proac-tive in engaging with people,” he said.

The � lm in Kitimat will be shown at the Legion hall on April 7.

By Cameron OrrTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

KITIMAT - By deadline for this paper there was not much to re-port save for the fact that Unifor 2300 has presented the District of Kitimat an offer to settle.

As for what’s inside this latest offer from the union to resolve a strike that has dragged on for over a month, that’s unclear.

On Tuesday the District of Kitimat’s own negotiating team were looking over the details of the agreement.

Meanwhile the District has had to cancel the 2015 Spring

Craft Fair which was scheduled for April 11 due to the strike. As well the annual Health & Safety Fair scheduled for April 25 at the � re hall has been postponed to a later time.

In response to the strike the District did issue another press release on Monday, listing out “facts” on the strike as they see it.

“The District of Kitimat has negotiated – it has listened to the Union and agreed to many of the Union’s demands,” reads the re-lease on Kitimat.ca. “The District has been clear since the start of negotiations that some items are too costly or unacceptably restrict

the right of management to make workforce decisions.”

Among the the stated facts in the release are ”Despite hav-ing received a Final Offer which would have avoided a strike, and make District employees one of the highest paid municipal work-forces in the province, the Union chose to go on strike,” and “The Union has remained steadfast in its stance that all Union’s de-mands must be accommodated.

The District says it can’t give in to more union demands “with-out severely compromising its ability to manage or without ex-treme budget implications.”

Elongated, rough-surfaced and black, a fungus called Black Knot is putting area plum trees at risk. Terrace-based tree expert Charles Claus, above, is calling for neighbourhoods to band together to rid their trees of the fungus.

Fungus growththreatens areaplum treesTERRACE - A local tree expert wants residents to pay more attention to a fungus he says will kill plum trees and, potentially, cherry ones as well.

It’s called Black Knot and Charles Claus want neighbourhoods to band together to eradicate the fungus.

“What I’d like to see here are Black Knot-free zones,” said Claus.

The fungus spreads through airborne spores in the spring, settling on the branches of otherwise healthy plum trees. It turns from a green colour to a tan one before fully settling in as a rough-surfaced elongated black growth.

Claus is so worried about the fungus that sam-ples he shows people are wrapped in several layers of plastic bags.

Infected limbs will eventually be circled by the fungus, choking them off and comprising the health of the tree to the point it will need to be taken out.

“They can be pruned out. Cut off and then burned, or buried two feet into the ground,” said Claus of infected branches.

“But if it really takes hold, you’ll need to take the whole tree out.”

And when cutting out infested branches, Claus said a saw or other cutting implement needs to be sanitized after each cut.

“Use Lysol or a 10 per cent bleach solution. You need to do that after each cut.”

Once spotted and it becomes familiar to the eye, Claus said it’s surprising how strongly Black Knot has taken hold here.

“It’s here with a vengeance,” he said. “But we can take measures.”

Once a person deals with Black Knot on their own property, Claus says they should speak with their neighbours about doing the same. Some plum varieties, such as Stanley, are hardier and more resis-tant to the fungus.

Claus does add there are preventative measures readily available to deter Black Knot’s progress.

One is using a combination of lime sulphur/dor-mant oil when a tree is in its dormant stage. “The temperature should be two degrees above freezing and have at least two days of it not raining,” said Claus.

Feeding a tree using healthy compost or aged horse manure will beef up its resistance as well, he said. Nutrient spikes can also be inserted into the ground under a tree.

Claus is also an advocate of careful pruning so as not to leave stubs.

“These little stubs or any portion of a branch that was improperly pruned stresses the tree as the im-proper cut invites rot which weakens the tree which in turn makes the trees in the prunus family, plums in particular, susceptible to black knot infection,” he said.

Proper pruning also allows more air � ow through a tree, a circumstance that contributes to its overall health. “Terrace can grow wonderful plums. Well-pruned and spaced, we can have wonderful plum trees,” said Claus.

“As a community our historical identity revolves around a rich First Nations culture, logging and saw milling, salmon � shing in the Skeena River, and ag-riculture; both fruit tree growing and vegetable pro-duction,” said Claus. “Fruit tree production is a very unique and vital component of the Terrace story, one that we need to value and preserve,” he said.

Crowded feeders a health risk for returning songbirdsBy Tom FletcherTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

VICTORIA - Backyard bird enthusi-asts should regularly clean their bird feeders and bird baths at this time of year, as migratory songbirds return from their winter retreats.

Species such as pine siskins, red-polls and grosbeaks congregate in large flocks in spring, and their close contact at a time of weather stress and nutrition shortage can pass diseases from bird to bird, says a bulletin from the B.C. forests ministry.

Cleaning feeders every two weeks and changing water in bird baths ev-ery few days can reduce the spread of avian pox virus, avian conjunctivitis and salmonella bacteria among birds. Using metal or plastic feeders rather than wood, and spreading out multi-ple small feeders that only allow one or two birds at a time also reduces the risk of disease transmission.

Wildlife biologists say these bird diseases can also spread to people han-dling infected birds or contaminated materials. Placing bird feeders over a

concrete surface allows easier clean-up of litter underneath, which can also prevent spread of infection.

If you see one or two sick birds in your area, biologists advise clearing and scrubbing the feeder. If there are more than three diseased birds, take your feeder down for a week or two to encourage birds to disperse.

Here are some common signs to look for:

• Birds with avian conjunctivitis have red, swollen, watery or crusted eyes. Infection can be spread by feed-ers with small openings that birds touch with the sides of their heads. Infected birds may have trouble feed-ing and remain on the ground near the feeder.

• Birds with salmonella bacterium may be found dead or appear tame, sit-ting quietly for hours or days, often with their feathers fluffed up. Salmo-nella can easily spread to pets or hu-mans, and so strict hygiene should be enforced in these situations.

• Birds with avian pox virus may have warty lesions on the unfeathered parts of their head, legs or feet.

Simon Nish of BG Canada presents a $2,500 cheque to Jeffery Minhinnick of Terrace.

Business challenge winners namedBy Shaun ThomasTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - More than $35,000 was handed out to young entrepreneurs from throughout the region on Saturday night as BG Canada and Futurepreneur Cana-da hosted the ThriveNorth Busi-ness Challenge awards ceremony.

The competition, which in-vited entrepreneurs between the ages of 18 and 39 to submit appli-cations for funding for their new or existing business, had more than 50 entries that were then � l-

tered down to 12 � nalists in three categories. The � nalists had their business plans and ideas scruti-nized by a panel of business ex-perts to determine the $10,000 grand prize winner and the $2,500 runner-up.

Prince Rupert’s Amy Dop-son was one of the big winners on the night, taking home $10,000 in the Business Growth Opportu-nity category, with the money to be used to further grow the award-winning PAC 10 Tutoring. Jeffery Minhinnick of Terrace was the runner-up with the idea of making

Ye Olde Chop Bloc barber shop into a mobile operation.

The Best New Business win-ner was Ria Smith of Hazelton for her idea of launching a mobile food company, with Elanor Stew-art of Smithers � nishing second for her artisan-based business.

The New Social Enterprise category was won by Terrace’s Nathan Hoffart to launch a speech language pathology clinic, with Prince Rupert’s Harvey James Russel placing second for his plans for a marine-based research and consulting � rm.

Mayor: Port tax cap is hurting small businessBy Shaun ThomasTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - As the City of Prince Rupert continues to look at raising taxes to offset a $220,000 budget shortfall, coun-cillors are putting much of the blame on the pro-vincially legislated tax cap placed on industry developed on port land.

The legislation means new industry on port lands can not be taxed at a rate no higher than $22.50 per $1,000 of assessed value while industry existing prior to 2005 can only be taxed at a rate of $27.50. By comparison, the city’s rate for major industry is $47.74 per $1,000 and even the business rate is higher at $27.85 per $1,000.

“It’s not sustainable and what it is doing is killing our small business sector,” said Mayor Lee Brain.

“The small businesses up and down Third Avenue are pay-ing a higher tax rate than ma-jor industry on port land,” add-ed a frustrated Coun. Barry Cunningham.

Given that the tax cap is legis-lated by the provincial government, council said there is a letter being

drafted that will soon be made pub-licly available for people to sign and send to the government seeking a change to the regulation.

“It becomes a taxpayer subsidy in many ways. They’re not paying what

they would be paying if not located on port land ... Any money the gov-ernment does provide to offset it doesn’t add up to what the mill rate would be and the mon-ey from government is being paid by residents through provincial taxes anyway,” said Coun. Joy Thorkelson.

“We really need to get a campaign going.”

Brain said he has been in discussion with the provincial govern-ment and has offered some solutions to take some of the tax burden

off of businesses and home owners. “One proposal is they can have

the cap in place for seven years but after seven years, once the business is up and going and established, the industry can be put under the regu-lar mill rate,” he said, noting a tax in-crease is needed to cover costs for the coming year.

“Operationally, for us to continue as we are, we need another $220,000 ... what is in front of us with this bud-get is as cut and thin as it can be.”

“It’s not sustainable and what it is doing is killing our small business sector.”

Gov’t treaty move draws local criticismBy Anna KillenTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

TERRACE - The chief negotiator for Kitse-las and Kitsumkalum, two First Nations deep in the treaty process, is criticizing the provin-cial government’s deci-sion to withdraw its sup-port for the appointment of George Abbott as the new chief commissioner for the BC Treaty Com-mission.

“It’s disappointing and disheartening that the province of Brit-ish Columbia has taken such unilateral action that can impact so many First Nations includ-ing our local efforts,” said Tsimshian Treaty Society chief negotia-tor Gerald Wesley in a statement today. The Tsimshian Treaty Soci-ety represents Kitselas, Kitsumkalum, Metlakat-la, Gitga’at and Kitasoo communities through the treaty process.

In a surprising move late last week, the gov-ernment announced it would not be appoint-ing former cabinet min-ister George Abbott, set to take over from outgo-ing commissioner So-phie Pierre, as the new commissioner. And yes-terday in a press confer-ence, premier Christy Clark called into ques-tion future of the com-mission, citing money spent and a process that isn’t fast enough.

This built on a March 20 statement from aboriginal affairs minister John Rustad which said, “There are a number of important

treaty tables that are reaching milestones that will bring long-term reconciliation with the Crown to their commu-nities. However, I have also heard from many First Nations that the treaty process, mandates and negotiations take far too long and they are looking for a better way.”

Pierre, in a statement from the BC Treaty Commission, criticized the decision to cancel Abbott’s appointment, as did the First Nations Summit – one of three principal players, along with Canada and B.C., for which the commis-sion acts as an indepen-dent facilitator for treaty negotiations.

And Kitselas chief Joe Bevan said Kitse-las and other First Na-tions were not consulted about potential changes to the treaty process by the province.

“They didn’t con-sult with the principals, or First Nations Sum-mit, nor have they con-sulted with us,” he said. “The province is dem-

onstrating a total lack of commitment to the trea-ty process, if they are to come out with a new policy on treaty making wouldn’t you think it right to inform the First Nations of what that may look like so that we too can adjust our ap-proach?”

Welsey indicated the province is on shaky ground.

“Let’s hope the new direction that Premier Clark talks about does not lead to econom-ic disaster and clouds of uncertainty for the province of British Co-lumbia,” he said. “First Nations have a strong voice in how develop-ments in this province proceed, we want cer-tainty and opportunities which will provide best options and balance for First Nations, business, and government. Treaty-making is a strong com-ponent of that.”

This isn’t the � rst time Wesley has criti-cized the government with regards to its com-mitment to treaty negoti-ations. Last year he said the province was too fo-cussed on LNG to prop-erly engage in its treaty commitments.

Meanwhile, Skeena NDP MLA Robin Aus-tin said he felt sorry for Liberal aboriginal re-lations minister John Rustad who told Ab-bott at the last minute he wouldn’t be the new chief commissioner.

“Of all the cabinet ministers, he’s done the most traveling. I think he’s been living out of

a suitcase these last two years,” said Austin of Rustad’s contact with First Nations around the province.

“And now this. It puts him in just a terrible position.”

Austin said it was obvious Clark didn’t want Abbott because he ran against her for the Liberal party leadership in 2011.

“I guess the poli-

tics from then are still around,” he said.

Austin added that he did not disagree terribly with Clark’s statements that a new direction was needed to settle treaties in B.C. but that the last-minute decision to aban-don Abbot cast doubt on her commitment.

“She was actually quoting from our elec-tion platform,” said Aus-tin.

Authors launch Book of Rainbows Volume 2By Kevin CampbellTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - Duane Jackson, Justine Knott and Kathy Nel-son used to have a list of potential interview-ees pinned on the wall of their of� ces at the Hec-ate Strait Employment Development Society.

The list gave them guidance in their 28-week journey to tar-get and reach suitable Prince Rupert residents, whose stories they could share and publish in their project, the second volume of the Book of Rainbows – a job cre-ation partnership project between Hecate Strait and the Employment Program of BC, funded by the Province of Brit-ish Columbia and the Government of Canada.

What they quickly found out, however, was that their pinned-up list would be discarded in favour of general chats with Prince Rupert resi-dents out in the public.

Their new meth-od proved to be over-whelmingly successful. Jackson, Knott and Nel-son found 50 residents with tremendous stories tracing Aboriginal de-scent, immigration and

more, diving into the coastal city’s history through the oldest com-municative medium of all – story-telling.

“We started going out into the communi-ty and talking to people and running into people in store aisles and park-ing lots, and told them ‘This is what we’re do-ing,’,” said project co-ordinator Jackson at the Book of Rainbows Vol-ume Two’s launch at Rupert Square Mall last Saturday.

“There’s just unbe-lievably humble peo-ple in Prince Rupert. They’re not saying ‘I’ve got a story for you’, they’re saying ‘You know who you should talk to?’ and after that the list came down off the wall. We stopped making [it].”

A $56,000 grant from the government’s Job Creation Partnership helped the book become a reality and numer-ous people contributed – from Danielle Dalton whose energy and en-thusiasm Jackson said was contagious from the � rst volume, published in just November 2013, to book designer Aar-on Dalton to contribut-ing Tsimshian artist Pe-

ter Dennis, to Knott and Nelson, the two writers who gained a consider-able amount of skills in researching, writing and computer pro� ciency among other things.

“You can do this over and over again. You’re telling people’s stories, but you’re also talking about the his-tory of your community ... With community en-gagement, you get the understanding of how we got here and a real-ly good idea of the de-cisions that were made and the decisions that worked and the deci-sions that didn’t work,” said Jackson, adding there was never a short-age of fascinating sub-jects from which to draw tales from.

“This book could be written 20 times,” he said.

Knott’s engagement with recent immigrants or with Aboriginal resi-dents with strong roots tied to the land gave her a sense of perspective and offered the writer a glimpse into the differ-ent fabric that’s sewn into Prince Rupert’s diversity.

“We heard so many stories from people [from] all over the world who choose to live in

Prince Rupert. It was so amazing ... wherever they came from, [some of them] just packed up their car and drove here with whatever they had,” said Knott.

“Listening to their stories and then writing them up, [the stories] get embedded in your head and they’re there forev-er. It makes you appreci-ate all of their experienc-

es and all of your own. It’s an eye-opener.”

Seven hundred and � fty printed copies will be distributed for free to North Coast Literacy, multicultural groups, schools, the Prince Ru-pert Library, the City of Prince Rupert, the Dis-trict of Port Edward, the Chamber of Commerce, the Port of Prince Rupert and First Nations.

Quickload looking to townBy Shaun ThomasTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - As the com-mencement of demolition and sal-vage work at Watson Island nears, Quickload Logistics has set its sights on the former Canadian Freight-ways yard for its container stuf� ng operations.

The company’s request to rezone the land came before city council on March 23, with the area needing a slight zoning amendment from Light Industrial (M1) to General Industrial (M2) before Quickload could set up at the site.

“The conundrum in this situa-tion is that it is not a stock use. We don’t have it contemplated in our zon-ing bylaw. Moving containers, stor-age and stuf� ng containers best � ts into M2 ... it is a situation that arises from new industrial development,” explained city planner Zeno Kre-kic, who noted the number of trucks entering the facility from Highway 16 may require discussions with the

province. “One of the things that I advised

the proponent very strongly is that, prior to council giving � rst and second reading today, I would be referring it to the Ministry of Transportation. The highway is a controlled access high-way, so we will require their com-ments before council can consider ap-proval to the proponent.”

After � rst and second read-ings, a public hearing on the matter has been scheduled for the April 13 meeting of council. However, coun-cil did have some questions about what else could be done on the land under the M2 zoning if it was sold to another company in the future. Kre-kic noted the general industrial zone allows for more activity than light industry.

In its submission to council, Quickload Logistics noted the site is buffered from the highway and the “residential neighbours to the north have a substantial green barrier separa-tion providing a highly effective visual and sound screen”.

Cocaine trafficking charges laidBy Shaun ThomasTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - A Prince Rupert man is facing two charges of traf� ck-ing cocaine following the conclusion of a three month joint RCMP investi-gation.

Philip Nguyen, 33, was arrest-ed following an investigation that in-cluded resources from the RCMP Federal Serious and Organized Crime

units in Prince Rupert and Prince George, as well as the Prince Rupert RCMP.

Over the course of the criminal in-vestigation, police seized several thou-sand dollars in cash, a vehicle and six ounces of cocaine.

Insp. Brian Gateley of RCMP Federal Serious and Organized Crime said the arrest is one sign of the work the RCMP is doing in the region.

Dorothy (Dee) BartonWe are so proud of our mum, Dorothy Elizabeth (Dee) Barton, and all

she accomplished in her life. Born in Calgary on January 4, 1929, she was raised on her parents’

orchard in Creston, B.C. There, she nurtured a love of gardening and orchard-keeping—notwithstanding the disagreements she had with her dad about how high she should climb on the fruit-picking ladder – and how hard she always fell.

Mum always had a keen sense of adventure. In 1955, she and dad (Stan Barton) drove from Trail to Kitimat, travelling as a convoy with dad’s work crew, heavy equipment, trucks and trailers. Early into the journey, they unloaded one of their Caterpillar tractors to pull their own, and other vehicles, through the door-deep mud of Highway 16 West.

Upon arrival in Kitimat (by train from Terrace), mum and dad took up temporary residence in a very basic plywood shack in Alcan’s construction camp (now Riverlodge): over time, they built a succession of new homes, schools and commercial buildings. Later, they did similar work in Kemano (the site of Alcan’s power station). In early 1960, they moved their operations to nearby Terrace. Once settled, mum and dad continued their construction activities, which by now included the manufacture and erection of pre-fabricated homes. Their companies were Barton Construction, Sav-Mor Builders Centre and Nor-Pine Homes. Mum was in charge of sales and also wore many other hats, both in the business and out.

She taught secretarial skills at the vocational school in Terrace (now Northwest Community College) and worked with new immigrants on their English language abilities. We fondly remember lively gatherings with them at our house in Terrace Winter family trips to Hawaii were a highlight.

Our parents moved to Sidney on Vancouver Island in 1975. After dad died in 1984, mum continued to design and build homes in Victoria. Always very social and wanting to learn, she graduated from the University of Victoria with a degree in sociology at age 70.

In 1997, she designed and daughter, Betty and her construction crew, built yet another new home in Victoria: from there, mum operated a successful B&B for 12 years.

She made all her own jams and wines, prepared spectacular breakfasts, researched all of Victoria’s tea houses, and kept up with the various happenings around town to best advise her B&B guests. In fact, “Dee’s B&B” was touted on the Israeli Tourism web site as, “…the only place to stay when you are in Victoria”.

Mum loved sailing in the Gulf Islands with friends, and later, with son Doug and family. She was an avid hiker and angler. A long-standing Sunday tradition of mum’s at our cabin on Lakelse Lake near Terrace was taking the boat and fi shing rod out to catch a breakfast of trout to complement dad’s famous crepes.

Mum was an expert pie-maker, particularly known for her blackberry/apple pies from her own ap-ple trees, and blackberries picked personally along the golf course path across from her house in Saan-ich. She frequently did fl ower arrangements for her church, neighbours and friends; volunteered for many years as an ESL instructor at UVic, and was active in her neighbourhood association. In recent times, she served as secretary at her Abbeyfi eld home monthly member meetings.

Mum selfl essly died on February 25, 2015 with her daughter, Susan (who had battled with terminal Multiple Systems Atrophy for a number of years) in Victoria.

Mum is survived by her loving son, Doug McClary (Denise); enthusiastic, smart grandsons Stephen (Alexa), Paul (Emily); Mark and Andrew, and devoted daughter, Betty Barton (Grant Piffer).

With a teaching degree in hand, Janette spent time in Greece, London, and the Persian Gulf applying her skills. Janette arrived in Canada in 1958, taught in Victoria for three years, then moved north to Kitimat for what was planned to be a two year stay. Janette spent the next 55 years in Kitimat teaching, raising her family, and travelling the world.Always a teacher at heart, Janette continued her passion for two more decades after offi cially retiring from Kitimat School District in 1988. She taught and trained both students and tutors of adult literacy, and these were her most rewarding years.Janette’s family would like to extend a heartfelt thanks and appreciation to the staff at Mountainview Lodge, for their compassionate care over the past three years as well as Dr. Mills, Dr. Lombard, Dr. Van Der Merwe, KGH Staff, her physiotherapists and the Home Care Support care aids and nurses.A celebration of Janette’s life will take place Saturday,April 11th, 2015 at 1 pm at Kitimat First Baptist Church.

First Best in the West filled with action

By Kevin CampbellTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - On Sunday afternoon, the First Annual Best in the West – March Madness tournament, organized by Prince Rupert resident Judy Carlick-Pearson, wrapped up with two phys-ical and high-calibre basketball games in the ju-nior (under-17) and men’s division.

For the teens, it was a matchup of Team Friendship House, coached by Charles Hays bas-ketball skipper Mel Bishop, and Team Metlakatla, coached by Carlick-Pearson.

Despite a third-quarter lead that Friendship House standouts Justin McChesney, Kolby Jones and Nick Campbell contributed to, the unbeliev-able shooting of junior MVP Kyler Reece and his 38 points for Metlakatla gave his team the come-from-behind 60-57 win and the prize money of $500.

For their efforts, Friendship House got $350 for second-place and Gitanyow claimed $150 for third in the four-team tourney. Aiyansh took fourth.

The senior men’s tournament comprised of eight teams, the Wolves, Rainmakers, Terrace, the Thunder, the Silverbacks, Da Boys, the Punishers and the Bishops, taking the court in search of � rst-place and the $1,000 prize money.

After beating the Punishers, the Bishops lost their second match versus the Silverbacks in the double-elimination format and then reeled off three straight wins against Da Boys, the Wolves and Terrace to eliminate all three teams and gain entry to the championship � nal through the back door.

And surprise, surprise, their foes in the � nal were the Silverbacks once again.

This time though, the Bishops took it to their rivals and never lost the 14-point lead that the team retained after the � rst half, leading 34-20.

Senior’s MVP Brody Bishop led the way with 30 points in the � nal for his team’s 67-54 win, claiming revenge and the championship in the pro-cess.

Darcy Pearson notched 15 points of his own for the Bishops and the Silverbacks’ Elijah Cal-houn and Rich Wolffe scored 11 each and Gage Ladareur had 10.

Willie Edwards provided the crowd with some breakaway layup action on more than one occa-sion, earning applause for his sneaky efforts.

The Silverbacks took home $700 for second-place and Terrace grabbed $500 for third.

River Kings snag silverBy Anna KillenTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

FORT NELSON - They needed one more comeback.

But after a thrilling week of hockey that saw the Terrace River Kings come from behind to win all three round robin games to gain a bye to the Coy Cup championship � nal Satur-day, March 28, the team didn’t get it, losing 6-1 to the Fort St. John Flyers in Fort Nelson to take silver at the AA senior men’s championship for the second year in a row.

“I think that they watched us play all week and � gured out what they had to do to win. They’re a good team, there’s no question about it,” said Riv-er Kings general manager Ray Hallock Sunday.

“We beat them fair and square in the � rst game, and they just came out a little stron-ger,” he said, referencing the Kings’ 4-3 OT win against the AAA Flyers in game one of the tournament.

River Kings captain Steve Cullis said the team went in ex-pecting a close championship game, and for the most part, it was.

At the end of the � rst period the Flyers were up 1-0, with the Kings tying it up in the second on the power play.

But Fort St. John scored two late second period goals to make it 3-1 after 40 minutes, and managed to keep the mo-mentum going in the third.

“We kept it close ‘til late in the second, they got a power play goal and a bit of a break to make it 3-1 and then we still felt good about the game going into the third, but they got a quick one right at the start of the third and kind of just laid it up,” he said.

“We gave them a couple of breaks and they capitalized and then we just couldn’t recover after that one at the start of the

third,” he continued.Taking second place to the

Flyers was a bittersweet end to a phenomenal season that saw the Kings win the league cham-pionship for the � rst time ever and a tournament that show-cased a number of standout mo-ments for the River Kings.

“It’s the � rst time we’ve ever won our league, so that’s something that everyone on this team should be proud about,” said Cullis.

“Obviously when you win three games and lose one, it’s a good week, we just lost the wrong one, for whatever rea-son it wasn’t our best game and that’s just the way it went,” said Cullis, of the tournament.

Terrace’s Chapen Leblond “had a good week, Ben Re-

inbolt had a good week, and our goalie [Patrick Leal] had a good week to name a few, and then (goalie) Josh Murray had a great game in the � nals even though we lost.”

Game one against Fort St. John jumped back and forth be-fore being forced into overtime where Chapen Leblond snuck one past the Flyers’ goalie to get the 4-3 win.

And that OT moment must have sparked something in Leblond – game two against the Powell River Regals saw him score four goals in the sec-ond period to close the 3-0 de� -cit the Regals had gained in the � rst and ignite the Kings’ mo-mentum towards a 7-4 win.

Leblond was given the MVP in game two, and Riv-

er Kings general manager Ray Hallock said goaltender Patrick Leal “stood on his head” that game and was well-deserving of MVP in game three, a 5-3 win over the hometown Fort Nelson Yeti – another game that saw the Kings climb back from a 3-0 hole after the � rst. That win gave the team a bye into the championship, and a day of rest on Friday.

But heading into the cham-pionship against the Flyers – who earned their spot with a 10-3 win over the Yeti in the semi-� nals on Friday – the Kings knew they’d have a tough competitor.

“I can’t say I’m not dis-appointed but I’m not disap-pointed in my guys or the level of play or their intensity,” said Hallock.

“The reality is we still had the winning-est season in the history of the team. We only lost � ve games all year includ-ing in the league champion-ships and the Coy Cup – we only lost one game in the Coy Cup, unfortunately it was the most important one.”

And for the young team – there isn’t a player over 30 – there’s plenty of prime years left. “We’ve got a great team. You can’t expect them to be su-per in one year – you’ve got to build up over a few years,” said Hallock. “I can’t take anything away from these boys, I think they’ve done the city of Terrace proud.

“This is the best bunch of guys that I’ve seen in a long time,” he said. “Nobody’s blaming everybody, every-body’s still teammates and friends, I’m sure that’ll contin-ue into next year.”

“This team will be good for as long as these guys want to keep playing,” said Cul-lis. “Hopefully we get another chance at it.”

“Two years silver, three times lucky,” added Hallock.

Helping Hands receives help …

CONTRIBUTED / THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

TERRACE - Each year the Terrace Classics Hockey Club makes annual donations from the proceeds of the Christmas parties it hosts. Above, Ron and Mavis from the Terrace Helping Hands Society, receive a donation from Rodney Kuehne and Richard Lindstrom on the left, and from Dave Scott and Todd Broughton on the right.

Heating efficiency increasedat Terrace college campusTERRACE - Two new natural gas-� red boilers being installed at a cost of $1.5 million at North-west Community College’s Ter-race campus will make heating buildings more ef� cient and save money.

Heating distribution ef� -ciency through pipes connecting college buildings to the boilers will rise from 80 per cent to 98 per cent, providing a savings of $40,000 a year, the college esti-mates.

“The current boilers are 48-years-old and have required a lot of maintenance over the years. This investment in our infrastruc-ture contributes to the long term viability of our campus,” said col-lege of� cial Kerry Clarke of the work.

In addition to heat, the boilers provide hot water for the college.

The money comes to the col-lege from the provincial govern-ment which each year considers applications to improve facilities

at post secondary institutions.These two boilers were made

by a company called Cleaver Brooks in Stratford, Ontario with the general contractor being Da-vidson Brothers from Burnaby.

Clarke added that several lo-cal � rms are also involved in the project.

Work on the boiler project be-gan in February and when com-pleted will reduce the college’s C02 emissions by more than 200 tons a year.
