Thumbs down for Northern Gateway lineBy Cameron OrrTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

KITIMAT - Douglas Channel Watch is hailing a victory after residents in Kitimat voted “No” in the community’s plebiscite which ful� lls Kitimat Coun-cil’s promise to gauge commu-nity support for the proposed Enbridge Northern Gateway Pipelines project.

Unof� cial results show ‘Yes’ with 1,278 votes and ‘No’ with 1,793. The No vote wins with 58.4 per cent of ballots, Yes vote trails with 41.6 per cent. 3,071 votes were cast.

Councillors had at an earlier time committed to gauging sup-port on the project as soon as the Joint Review Panel concluded their process and issued their re-

port on the project.The Joint Review Panel sub-

sequently concluded in favour of Northern Gateway’s construction in � ndings released late last year, save for 209 conditions that must be met.

It has been a � erce � ght for public opinion. Signs have sprung up on roadsides and peo-ple’s lawns, either encouraging people to vote “no to Enbridge” or “yes to Kitimat.”

Both sides of the question launched websites, and began large advertising campaigns in local media.

For Douglas Channel Watch, a win meant sending a message to the federal government that such a project is not welcome in the Northwest.

For Enbridge, proving public

support would have been a coup as the company seeks the gen-eral public’s favour in construct-ing their diluted bitumen pipeline from Alberta.

“As a long time-resident of northwestern B.C., I passionately believe that Northern Gateway is the right choice for Kitimat,” said Northern Gateway’s Manager of Coastal Aboriginal and Commu-nity Relations Donny van Dyk. “The plebiscite offered us an opportunity to share that vision with thousands of local residents; a vision for a safer, better pipe-line that meets the needs of our community. And I want to offer my thanks to our local team and every resident who participated in this process.”

A statement released from Douglas Channel Watch’s Mur-

ray Minchin after the results were released said the result “demon-strates that the citizens of British Columbia cannot be bought, that we will not trade the long term health of our salmon rivers or our pristine north coast for a handful of jobs.”

In response to the result, Kit-imat Council has directed that a letter be written to the federal government, and copied to the Premier’s of� ce, that includes the results of the vote and an urg-ing to not make a decision on the Northern Gateway project before considering the community’s re-sponse.

Councillors at the next Kiti-mat council meeting will also debate of� cially opposing the Northern Gateway project based on the plebiscite outcome.

Autistic services probe needed, says Prince Rupert familyBy Shaun ThomasTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - The family of the mother and son whose bodies were discovered at their home on Ebert Street on April 3 are calling into ques-tion services offered to autistic children and their families in Prince Rupert.

The family of the two confirm that 40-year-old Angie Rob-inson and her 16-year-old son Robert were found in their home.

Prince Rupert RCMP have confirmed it was a murder-suicide, with Angie taking the life of Robert before committing suicide.

In a statement, the family of the mother and

son describes the rela-tionship between An-gie and Robert as being filled with the kind of love that typically exists between a mother and her son.

“Angie was a single mother, very shy, lov-ing, and kind-hearted,” the family said in a state-ment.

“Her beautiful boy Robert was diagnosed with autism at a very early age,” explained the family.

“Angie and Robert were always together, whether it was walking around Prince Rupert or on the Butze Rapids trail,” the statement from the family continued.

Given the closeness of the two, the family said they are determined

to look further into the circumstances that led to the tragic events of April 3.

“The services avail-able for autistic children and families of autistic children are very limited in Prince Rupert,” wrote the family in the same that was released.

“A complete assess-ment of current servic-es and services required are at the forefront of the family’s investigation -so that the hopelessness felt by a mother who wanted nothing but help with her son so that he could live with her for-ever will not be felt by

another family.”At this time, Const.

Matt Ericson said the RCMP detachment in Prince Rupert will not be releasing any addi-tional details regarding the circumstances sur-rounding the two deaths out of respect for the family.

The family, mean-while, said it has appre-ciated the work done by RCMP officers on this case.

“The family would like to thank the Prince Rupert RCMP and Cor-oners Service for the re-spectful, compassionate professionalism shown

to us in this very difficult time,” read the family’s statement.

The family, in the statement,which ac-knowledged the Gitxaa-la band on the coast, the Prince Rupert School District and friends and family for their assis-tance.

CONTRIBUTED / THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

The family of Angie and Robert Robinson say the lack of support for families of autistic children needs to be investigated in light of the April 3 murder-suicide.

Lack of remediation plan hurt Watson Island dealBy Shaun ThomasTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - While a formal response to the suit launched by the Watson Island Develop-ment Corporation (Wat-Co) has yet to be � led by the City of Prince Ru-pert, Mayor Jack Mussal-lem laid the blame for the failed sale at the feet of the company.

“It is unfortunate that the Watson Island De-velopment Corporation could not complete an agreement or reach a deal for the sale of Watson Is-land and could not come up with a re-mediation plan that was approved by the provincial government,” he said during the April 14 meeting of coun-cil, noting the sale of Watson Island re-mained a priority for the city.

“The city is now talk-ing with other parties in-terested in purchasing Watson Island to accom-plish that priority.”

The city last spoke of the remediation plan in an Aug. 29, 2013 press release outlining a settle-ment with Sun Wave For-est Products.

“WatCo intends to re-purpose the mill as a pri-vate multi-modal port us-ing the land and docking facilities to service the coming industrial activity

in the Prince Rupert region. An overall environmental remediation plan will be sought from the Province of Brit-ish Columbia and the site will be re-mediated as the mill site is decommis-sioned,” read the release.

WatCo declined to comment as the matter remains before the courts.

“The city is now talking with other parties.”

By Cameron OrrTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

KITIMAT - Councillor Mario Feldhoff wants to see the town consider-ing adding more camp sites to Hirsch Creek Park.

Feldhoff put for-ward a motion for the town to investigate the potential for addition-al camp sites at Hirsch Creek, saying there’s a need for more sites in Kitimat to accommo-date tourists.

He notes such devel-opment would involve communicating with the Haisla and the province but thinks it’s an idea that should be seriously

considered.Hirsch Creek land is

owned by the province and managed by the mu-nicipality.

Feldhoff was backed up in a unanimous vote by councillors in atten-dance, with no addition-al comments provided by the others.

Right now there are 42 sites at Radley Park, 21 electrified, and there are currently nine sites at Hirsch Creek.

There is a long term plan to add eight more sites to Radley Park as well but that would come after some other major projects such as dealing with its septic system.

The motion comes as council and the Lei-sure Services depart-

ment looks towards charging camping fees again at Hirsch Creek.

KITIMAT’S ANNUALSPRING CLEAN UP

April 21 to April 27, 2014

VICTORIA – After rejecting an offer from the school district bargaining agency for a long-term contract, the B.C. Teachers’ Federation went to the Labour Relations Board this week to establish essen-tial service levels for strike action.

BCTF members voted 89 per cent in March to endorse a three-stage strike plan that can begin with 72 hours notice. Phase one includes restricting com-munication with school managers, arriving no more than an hour before and leaving an hour after school hours, and refusing supervision of students outside class time.

It does not affect pre-arranged voluntary activi-ties such as coaching, but the refusal of supervision requires essential service levels that compel some teachers to assure the safety of students while they are out of classes.

Peter Cameron, chief negotiator for B.C.’s 60 school districts, said there are some rural schools with no management staff to supervise playgrounds. Typically it is the employers’ association that seeks an essential services order, but this time the BCTF applied.

That’s unusual for a union that has a history of opposing essential service orders at the LRB and the International Labour Organization, Cameron said. It

is also a sign that the BCTF is preparing for strike ac-tion after the Easter break.

Cameron said if stage one strike action begins, the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association will seek an order that the union pay for its extended ben-efits during any withdrawal of service. That would cost about $5 million a month for 41,000 public school teachers.

“In order that there is in fact pressure on both sides, BCPSEA needs to respond to any phase one activities with measures that put corresponding pres-sure on the union,” Cameron wrote in a letter to BCTF president Jim Iker.

Cameron’s initial offer is for a 10-year agree-ment with pay increases totalling 6.5% over the first six years and additional wage increases to be negoti-ated for the final four years.

BCTF negotiators countered with a three-year proposal with three per cent plus a cost-of-living in-crease in each year. With compounding and current estimates of inflation, BCPSEA calculates that could amount to 13.5 per cent over three years.

Phase two of the BCTF plan is rotating one-day walkouts in districts around the province. Phase three, a full-scale strike, would require a second vote by members to authorize.

Help for Hailey…

MARGARET SPEIRS / THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

TERRACE - Ted Pettit holds a cheque for $6,626.52, the amount raised by Ecole Mountainview students to help with expenses re-sulting from daughter Hailey’s treatment for leukemia. Helping the cause was Ecole Mountainview teacher Eric Gearey who had his head shaved in a challenge to students to raise money for Hailey.

Northern biking boostedPRINCE GEORGE - The Western Canada Mountain Bike Tourism As-sociation (MBTA) in partnership with Northern BC Tourism and North-ern Development Initiative Trust is pleased to announce the commence-ment of work on a new strategy to in-crease mountain bike tourism to the British Columbia’s northern tourism region.

Twelve communities and regional districts from across the Northern BC region will participate in the develop-ment of the strategic plan. The project team will engage local stakeholders as well as draw upon a growing body of research and best practices from with-in Canada and around the globe.

“Mountain bike tourism is becom-

ing increasingly important to areas with natural beauty and an abundance of bike trails”, said Martin Little-john, executive director of the MBTA, “Over the past few years, communi-ties in Northern BC have been invest-ing in trails for local recreation. As the trail inventory has grown, so too has interest from visitors. Having a local-ly-driven strategy in place will help ensure collaboration among the com-munities and progress toward a more sustainable and viable mountain bike tourism economy for the region”

The project will run from April through to October 2014. Money comes from the Omineca Beetle Ac-tion Coalition (OBAC), participating communities and regional districts.


Snowmobiler and Winter Recreation Users Public Safety Notice

Snowmobilers and winter recreationalists (cross country skiers, snow shoers, etc.) should be aware that the Northwest Transmission Line (NTL) is under construction, and the NTL right-of-way remains a construction zone with restricted access. This is required to avoid safety risks associated with such things as unmarked guy lines, construction materials and other potential hazards along the right-of-way, as well as for public and worker safety as construction activities continue.

In particular, over the past year many of the transmission structures for the NTL project have been installed. Most of these structures are supported by currently unmarked guy lines which can be very difficult to see against a snow background.

Please avoid using the right-of-way for your activities. If you are in the area, take extra care when travelling in the vicinity of the transmission structures.

If you have any questions, please contact BC Hydro stakeholder engagement: 1 866 647 3334 or send an email to [email protected]

CBSA keeping Rupert’s port safeBy Martina PerryTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - The Canada Border Service Agency (CBSA) outlined the step they take to en-sure the security of containers entering Prince Ru-pert during a Trade Talks event on Thursday.

The many ways in which CBSA works within port operations was the topic of the event, the second hosted by the Prince Rupert Port Authority, and the focus was on protocols and methods the agency uses for container inspections.

Dan Bubas, CBSA chief of operations for the West Coast and Yukon District, said the CBSA has three key strategies for managing the boarder.

“We receive vast electronic information on what is coming to Canada. Before the goods have even left we’re getting information on what they are and where they’re coming from. With that information, we turn it into intelligence and use risk assessment systems,” he said.

“Thirdly, we build programs to expedite low-risk training and facilitate business.”

Bubas said the CBSA analyzes the risk assess-ment of 100 per cent of containers heading to Prince Rupert.

“What we’re looking for in particular is anything that would be considered a danger to people. We’re looking for potential weapons of mass destruction, and acts of terrorism,” he said.

“By and large, most freight is low risk.”When containers reach Fairview Terminal in

Prince Rupert, radiation levels are tested. Bubas ex-

plained the process to those in attendance, overview-ing the various methods CBSA of� cers use to ensure cargo is safe.

If containers are still considered risky, CBSA must destuff containers at the container ex-amination facility. Bubas said more than 2,000 full of� oad examinations took place last year, which doesn’t include other examinations on the dock. This is between one and two per cent of traf� c.

“In Prince Rupert by and large virtually all of the traf� c is legitimate. We have a very high compliance rate. There’s a lot of signi� cant importers who bring freight through here and we’ve never had a prob-lem,” said Bubas.

But not all cargo is clean. In September 2012, CBSA of� cers in Prince Rupert seized 14.5 tonnes of chemical precursors for GHB, or the date rape drug, and ecstasy, the largest interception in Canada.

In Prince Rupert, CBSA of� cers have found in-vasive pest species, like the Asian Longhorn Beetle, in containers.

“We have found live insects in containers, it’s not uncommon. The ones we’re most concerned about are the wood-boring ones that could affect our corps and tree,” Bubas said.

Large fine assessedBy Margaret SpeirsTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

TERRACE - Two guilty pleas added up to more than $1,000 in fines for a local man.

Henry John Haydon pleaded guilty to one count of possession of a controlled substance and one count of re-sisting or obstructing a peace officer in Terrace provincial court April 8.

On the drug charge, he was sentenced to pay a fine of $700 plus a victim fine surcharge of $210.

For the second charge, he was ordered to pay a fine of $300 and a victim fine sur-charge of $90. All the fines are due to be paid by March 2016.

And a man sched-uled for a bail hear-ing pleaded guilty to a charge of assault caus-ing bodily harm from an incident in Thornhill earlier this year.

Michael Schofield was given a sentence of

206 days jail time and one year of probation in provincial court here April 7.

He must provide a DNA sample to police and pay a victim fine surcharge of $100, due January 2015.

◆ ◆ ◆ ◆In the meantime,

Terrace RCMP officers spent a busy weekend April 12-13.

A white 1994 Dodge Caravan and a grey 2011 Mazda 3 collided on Lazelle Ave by the Credit Union. Both ve-hicle sustained moder-ate damage. No injuries.

A white 2009 Dodge

Caliber and a white 2009 Chevrolet Cobalt collided in the parking lot of Kentucky Fried Chicken. Damage was minor to both vehicles. No injuries.

A blue 2012 Ford Escape was pulled over on Old Lakelse Lake Dr/Clarke St. The 19 yr old driver provided a sample of breath into a roadside screening device that resulted in a fail. He was arrested and provided two sam-ples of breath that were over the legal limit. He was served a Prohibi-tion. The vehicle was impounded.

Man fined for damaging vehicleBy Margaret SpeirsTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

TERRACE - A man owes the federal government several thou-sand dollars after he was convict-ed of damaging a police car.

Samuel Ratchford pleaded guilty to one count of mischief and was ordered to pay restitu-tion of $4,153.86 by judge Cal-vin Struyk in provincial court here February 25.

He will spend 60 days on a conditional sentence order and six months on probation.

On June 7, 2013 after being arrested and put in a police ve-hicle, Ratchford began kicking the inside of the rear doors.

He continued until the doors were were bent out of shape.

Ratchford was also ordered to pay a victim fine surcharge of $50.

For another incident with charges from New Year’s 2013, Ratchford pleaded guilty to as-sault with a weapon, unlawfully causing bodily harm and uttering threats to cause death or bodily harm on Aug. 14, 2013 and was

sentenced March 31, 2014 to a five month conditional sentence with one year of probation with conditions to follow.

He was ordered to provide a DNA sample to police and to pay a victim fine surcharge of $50.

On January 2, 2013, Terrace RCMP reported that a male, who was asked to leave a New Year’s party at a private residence, got in his vehicle and aggressively drove it towards some people.

He then reversed over a male’s legs before driving away, police said at that time of the incident.

Re-riding a critical part of Northwest B.C.’s railway historyBy Kevin CampbellTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - Everyone has their own way of falling asleep.

Whether it be warm milk, white noise, rainfall or music, people use different strategies to catch some Z’s.

For Terrace’s Chantal Meijer, it’s the deafening roar of a locomo-tive.

“We lived in those types of sta-tions like the Kwinitsa Station when I was growing up,” explained Mei-jer outside the Museum of Northern British Columbia last week.

“So I’m very familiar with trains rumbling by the station and rumbling me to sleep. We had such a unique way of life.”

Meijer was in town with several other Terrace residents to be part of the Grand Trunk Paci� c Railway’s 100th anniversary tour of the last spike.

The railway historian of the group, Meijer joined other Terrace celebration committee members, city councillors and area enthusi-asts as they boarded the train with the anniversary’s special coaches last Monday night and arrived into Prince Rupert early Tuesday morn-ing. It was all a part of Rail Travel Tours’ two-week train trip running

from Toronto, ON to Prince Rupert and back.

“I’m really doing this because of my father,” said Meijer.

Richard Rinaldi was the Terrace foreman, and the last foreman at the Kwinitsa station.

Before her dad’s passing in 2008, Meijer documented his 35 years of history as part of the “steel gangs”.

Rinaldi worked nine months of the year from 1952 to 1987 in B.C., Alberta and Saskatchewan, and he came from France to do it. It was hard work with long days and in-volved blasting rubble and laying new track for Canadian National Railways (CNR).

“He told me that he worked 14-16 hour days and they worked many weeks where they could get a few days off. A few days off meant driv-ing to Terrace to be with the family and spending just a day or two [with us],” said Meijer.

Rinaldi came to Kwinitsa from Paris, and his wife and three daugh-ters followed.

“It was quite a shock,” said Mei-jer, who still speaks with the hint of a French accent.

“My dad started as a sec-tionman, but he progressed quite quickly to become program super-visor. He took a lot of pride in lay-

ing new steel and these gangs were very dif� cult to marshall. There was hundreds of men and heavy equipment and all the responsibil-ity of the tracks. I have that part in me now that I’ve recorded his history.”

Each year, Rinaldi would trav-el to Edmonton to do all the hir-ing and from there, CNR would issue his designation for the com-ing months. In the winter months, Rinaldi would be the foreman at Terrace.

In 1975, Rinaldi was away from home and Meijer was about to get married.

“He drove 22 hours from Red Deer, Alberta just to make it to the wedding and he only stopped once for half an hour so he wouldn’t fall asleep at the wheel,” said Meijer.

“He just made it and then he had to turn around and drive anoth-er two hours back to the gang, but he was not going to miss his daugh-ter’s wedding.”

With the gangs, he was popular and he demanded the best.

“My dad had a reputation of be-ing a real tough railroader. A lot of them came back to work for him who had worked for him in previ-ous years and a lot of them were university students. They liked the pay. They got paid extra for the long

hours and I think they also respect-ed my dad,” said Meijer.

“He was a soldier in the war and he ran the gangs with a sort of military precision. I think maybe his war experience in France helped him to marshall these gangs with a kind of iron � st.”

Rinaldi had one top priority.“I knew he was driven by love

for family but he was also driv-en as a perfectionist to see that the trains did pass safely, and no man was injured year after year [on his watch],” said Meijer

“I asked him why did you do it dad, why did you spend all those years working outside so hard, and he said, ‘I did it so the trains could pass safely’.”

Wearing out� ts appropriate to the era, this group gathered in Prince Rupert last Tuesday night after revisiting historic points of the Grand Trunk Paci� c Railway.

Trap, neuter program fundedBy Martina PerryTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - After years of pushing for a trap, neuter and release program, the Prince Rupert SPCA re-cently received � nancial backing.

“It’s extremely rewarding [to see the process start]. I’ve been working so hard and lobbying people for support; all the hard work has come to fruition,” said Prince Rupert SPCA branch man-ager Anna Terebka.

Prince Rupert’s branch received $4,300 from the BCSPCA legacy

fund, with McLehenney Consulting contributing $500. The money will go to spaying and neutering a colony of feral and free-roaming cats, which Terebka says will “reduce the pain and suffering of unwanted litters”.

All together, the $4,800 will spay or neuter about 30 cats. But that num-ber could be affected by complications.

“Even though it’s just a little step, at least it’s a step in the right direc-tion,” said Terebka.

“It’s just the beginning.”Terebka didn’t reveal the colony’s

whereabouts.

Kitimat City High slated to relocate to MEMSS Accidental fall off Haisla BridgeBy Cameron Orr

THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

KITIMAT - The Kiti-mat City High alterna-tive education program, which currently runs out of the former Cormo-rant Elementary School building, will be moving to under the roof of the Mount Elizabeth Middle Secondary School.

The change is ex-pected to go into effect September 2014, at the beginning of the next school year.

Coast Mountain School Board Chair Art Erasmus said that the school board has had the idea of moving the

school in the back of mind for a few years but the decision to actually move it is a new one.

“We’ve had con-versations as to what to do with Kitimat City High...and coming to grips with how best to serve the kids given our current and foreseeable enrolment and the avail-ability of facilities and programs for kids... It’s not a new discussion but it’s a new decision,” he explained.

The school in its new facility will still re-tain existing staff and counselling, he said, but did say that the new school wouldn’t need its

own independent princi-pal.

In total the move will affect the 45 en-rolled students at KCH. Erasmus said on most days only about 15 are in attendance.

Their specific pro-grams will be kept, he said.

“A broader program will be available to them in addition to what we were able to offer them at the smaller building.”

He said that’s be-cause of the resources that will become avail-able sharing a roof with MEMSS.

“Because they’re go-ing to be in the bigger

school they’ll have ac-cess to additional things they don’t have in their small school which in-cludes counselling, which includes some shop courses...” said Erasmus.

He said that MEMSS has a total ca-pacity of 1,400 students and so the move makes sense to take advantage of the extra space. There are only about 550 stu-dents there now, he said.

A letter from school district Superintendent Nancy Wells said the de-cision addresses a num-ber of “barriers” to KCH students, including: lack of resources for chang-

ing school population, the need to provide pro-grams for younger stu-dents, varied supports needed to meet com-plex student needs, and a facility that currently is not able to provide a “full range of pro-grams”.

Erasmus said there are no board motions re-lating to this move as it would not be needed be-cause this change is ef-fectively only moving school programs, not al-tering them.

Kitimat City High originally started in 1974. The school moved into the ex-Cormorant Elementary in 2008.

A 23-year-old woman was transported to Kiti-mat General Hospital and then to Mills Memorial Hospital for non-life threatening injuries after fall-ing off the Haisla Bridge in Kitimat on April 6 at 4:47 a.m.

Police arrived to the bridge on a call that a wom-an had fallen off a bridge and they were quickly flagged down and directed to where the woman had landed on a log jam on the river.

Police say that the investigation found that the woman and one of the males in her group appeared to have been intoxicated and began arguing while walking from a nearby bar.

The woman, in the course of the argument, found herself on the roadway. She then leapt over the rail on the other side of the bridge while trying to dodge an oncoming vehicle.

The woman’s cousin, who was also with the group, told police she likely didn’t realize there was no platform to stand on on that side of the bridge.

Police say there is no indication of any foul play.

Deal is not an endorsement of LNGBy Shaun ThomasTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - Lax Kw’alaams Mayor Garry Reece says he wants to make one thing clear: The recent revenue shar-ing agreement between the Coast Tsimshian and the Province of British Columbia is not an en-dorsement of the LNG industry.

“People are looking at it as though we have signed an agree-ment with LNG companies. We have not signed any agreement with any LNG projects being pro-posed. We have signed an agree-ment with the province, and the province is not going to be build-ing an LNG terminal ... LNG companies have paid the province

to go to Grassy Point and see if it is feasible to build there. What we did is go after the government to get our share of that,” he said, not-ing there are still no projects that have been given the stamp of ap-proval by the band.

“I have made it clear that we have to look at the environment, our sea resources and the safety of our people. We have our own teams looking at that and mak-ing sure these projects will not harm those ... there is no money in the world that will get us to agree to a project that puts those at risk.”

According to Reece, the government offered the Lax Kw’alaams and Metlakatla bands $15 million from the money paid

by Woodside LNG and Aurora LNG for exclusivity rights to the north and south ends of Grassy Point. In terms of sharing infor-mation with the people of Lax Kw’alaams, Reece said the agree-ment was also brought up during a meeting earlier this year.

While not endorsing the in-dustry or any of the projects, Re-ece acknowledged that the ben-e� ts would be signi� cant if one or more projects could be built in such a way to meet the environ-mental and resource needs of the band.

“The impact-bene� ts agree-ments we are discussing are huge and would make a big difference for Lax Kw’alaams,” he said.

Sunken ship…KEVIN CAMPBELL / THE

NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCERUPERT - This is all that was visible after a ship berthed at the Metlakatla Ferry Dock sank in the early morning hours of April 14. Contain-ment booms were deployed as diesel fuel was leaking from the ship.

It is with great sadness to announce the sudden passing of Sylvia on April 3, 2014.

Sylvia was a diabetic and suffered with kidney fail-ure. She leaves behind her soulmates Don Stark, Chris Wetmore and Rod Stark. Also with stepchildren Cindy, Tom Stark with Eileen Brown and 11 grandchildren.

She was raised in Kamloops, resided and worked in several communities. Sylvia worked steady and hard while raising the boys and was a top notch Grandma. She enjoyed helping anyone who needed anything and never wanted anything in return, even in her last days.

We will be holding a casual celebration of her life on April 26, 2014 at 3 p.m. It will be held at her dear friends home, Rick & Brenda’s at 2307 Cramer Avenue in Terrace.

By Cameron OrrTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

KITIMAT - The Wo-mens Division of the Kitamaat Open Cultur-al Warming Basketball Tournament went to the Haisla Seniors in a hard fought battle against the Prince Rupert Synergy.

The Haisla topped the six-team division, which also saw the Prince Rupert Thunder in third place.

The Haisla Braves came fourth in the Mens Division, leaving it up to the Vancouver Dust-ers to claim the number one spot, in an equally thrilling � nal against the Prince Rupert Lights Out.

The Haisla 2 mens team placed seventh out of the eight teams, and in the Womens, the Haisla Pink Hearts placed � fth.

CAMERON ORR / THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

The Haisla Senior Women claimed the top prize in the Women’s Division at the Kitamaat Open, with 74-67 against Prince Rupert.

Rainmakers falter in season openersBy Kevin CampbellTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - Down 1-0 in her second game in � ve hours and with her team struggling to � nd offence, Tanveen Randha-wa found a through-ball midway through the � rst half of Charles Hays’ girls soccer match against Kitimat’s Mount Elizabeth Sec-ondary.

Randhawa made a move to split the surrounding defence, but was hauled down. The ref’s arm shot up.

A penalty kick was award-ed just outside the 18-yard box. Randhawa didn’t miss.

The forward blasted a strike past a leaping Kitimat goalkeep and Charles Hays tied the affair at one. That’s how the � rst half would end, and for the home side, the closest they would come to winning their � rst match of the season.

Mount Elizabeth pulled away in the second half, scoring twice to take the 3-1 victory over a Charles Hays squad who earlier fell to Terrace’s Caledonia Senior Secondary in their � rst match of the season.

CHSS’s Henzle Masocol scored in that game and was a large threat in the � rst half of her second before Kitimat post-ed double coverage on Charles Hays’ most consistent lethal op-tion. She’s not the tallest player, but she’s also not afraid to chal-lenge for possession.

“I went for the ball and they

just pummelled me down, but I got up,” said the striker.

Masocol highlighted a solid effort from the group’s � rst week-end of competitive play. Coach Kyla Ragan was impressed after her � rst good look at this year’s squad.

“I think they did really well,” said Ragan. “There’s a few things with positioning that we’ve got to sort out and then we haven’t touched on penalty kicks or any-thing, so we’re going to go over how not to get them.”

The back-end played well and suffered only a few mental lapses when Kitimat was able to break

through their defences for the sec-ond half game-winning marker and their third insurance goal to seal the game away.

The goal to start the second half was a shot that found the top-left corner of the mesh behind a busy second-half Charles Hays goalkeeper, who did a � ne job stopping the majority of the shots sent her way.

A scramble in the penalty area found a wide open Kitimat for-ward who slid one into an open net for the 3-1 lead. The team next plays after the Easter break.

“I think we played good for our � rst games,” said Masocol.

The mountain now moves to takedown mode and athletes are ready to switch things up and race up the mountain road with the Race to Shames in June.

Terrace teens take on B.C. at U16 tryoutsBy Anna KillenTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

TERRACE - Three second year mem-bers of the Terrace Bantam Rep team are in Salmon Arm this weekend, tak-ing a shot at representing the province on Team BC’s U16 team.

Nick Nordstrom, Austen McKean and Sam Reinbolt successfully made it through the 90-player north region camp in Vanderhoof to become three of only 20 players from the north-ern half of the province selected to advance to the next selection round April 17 – 20. This round sees 160 of the best young players in the province compete for a spot on Team BC which will be competing in the Canada Win-ter Games in Prince George in 2015.

“For all of the different communi-ties, three of the 20 coming from Ter-

race in the north half, that’s a good ac-complishment for those boys and the whole team,” said the boys’ coach Rory Reinbolt, noting there were � ve bantams in total who competed, and the two who didn’t make the cut also gave strong performances.

The Bantams had a strong run at provincials this year, taking bronze, and coach Reinbolt said the team han-dles pressure well, which will be help-ful at U16 tryouts.

The U16 tryouts are heavily watched by higher league scouts.

Reinbolt said that usually the scouts know the players they are look-ing for but “the boys from the north, they get a chance to be seen by these guys too, and they say they’re always looking for the diamond in the rough so it’s a good opportunity for the boys.”

End of ski season…

“Northern Gateway’s Habitat Restoration Plan will ensure that caribou ranges are left in better

condition than they were found.”

Meet the expert:

Northern Gateway understands and respects the important northern environments. The caribou ranges present a set of challenges that we will meet with world-class solutions and sensitivity.

WE TURNED TO LEADINGEXPERTS FOR ADVICE

Northern Gateway consulted with experts like Paul Anderson to help us develop caribou habitat plans. Paul has more than 25 years of experience supporting major projects and has extensive knowledge of regulatory and stakeholder engagement practices in Canada. Over the past five years, Paul has been responsible for developing the environmental and socio-economic impact assessment for the Project. “There have been a multitude of industrial projects over the course of the last few decades that have put tremendous pressure on caribou habitat and populations.” Based on the experts’ recommendations, Northern Gateway has committed to detailed caribou habitat assessment and restoration

plans that go beyond requirements. One of our commitments in British Columbia is to build the pipeline on or adjacent to previously disturbed lands, where possible, in the ranges of the Narraway, Quintette, Hart and Telkwa caribou herds. Overall approximately 70 per cent of the proposed pipeline route utilizes previous disturbances. Furthermore, Northern Gateway has committed to reclaiming these areas of previously disturbed land by planting trees, creating berms and otherwise restricting access for predators and hunters along the right-of-way. Our goals for habitat renewal will be accomplished through close consultation and communications with federal and provincial regulatory agencies, local stakeholders and Aboriginal communities.

CONDITIONS FOR THE BETTER

Northern Gateway’s voluntary commitments to undertake specific mitigation for the protection of caribou and caribou habitat were endorsed by the Joint Review Panel. They are now refl ected in 16 of the 209 conditions that we must meet for Project approval. Paul adds, “Northern Gateway’s Habitat Restoration Plan will ensure that caribou ranges are left in better condition than they were found.” This is another example of how Northern Gateway is doing everything possible in order to build a safer, better project.

Paul Anderson is a partner at Sunexo Solutions, President of RPS HMA and Director of Environment for the Northern Gateway Project.

He appeared as a witness for the Project during the

Joint Review Panel process.

Road clearing for potential work camp site is underwayBy Josh MasseyTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

TERRACE - Clearing is under-way on the site where a large work camp could one day be located in Thornhill just off of Hwy37 South and south of Churchill Drive.

As part of the agreement to pur-chase the 93-acre wooded proper-ty, PTI Group, an Edmonton-based worker lodging company, had as-signed logging rights to the previ-ous owner of the land.

Local developer Mike Scott, who sold the property, says his company, Rio Vista, says the work began with clearing an access road from Hwy37 South.

Scott said he has until the end of the summer to finish the harvest

of what he foresees to be approxi-mately 50 per cent of the trees con-sidered suitable for other uses.

“This is temporary access just so we can get the timber off the property,” said Scott last week. “There is probably half of it where the timber value is not sufficient to warrant logging it.”

“There will be a buffer along the highway so people driving along probably won’t notice it and there will be a big buffer between where the logged area is and where the residents on Churchill Drive live,” he added.

PTI official Sean Crockett said the worker lodging company is not part of the clearing operation and that the company isn’t yet proceed-ing with any development plans.

PTI, which is already in the ad-vanced stages of worker lodging plans at Kitimat in anticipation of liquefied natural gas (LNG) plants, won’t be proceeding at the Thorn-hill location until more is known about LNG development require-ments.

According to the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure, PTI applied for the permit to put in a temporary access road to the logging site.

“PTI Group has been issued a temporary resource access permit for logging purposes,” said a min-istry official.

Any further development at the location for accommodations would require rezoning approval from the Regional District of Kit-

imat-Stikine.Transportation ministry access

approval would also be needed be-cause of the proximity to Hwy37 South.

Residents in the Churchill Drive subdivision spoke out in March about concerns related to a plan to put a work camp so close to resi-dences.

Crockett had responded that the lodging would be of a more lasting nature than the term “work camp” evokes and that housing units suit-able for a upwards of a decade of use would be placed there.

He did not comment on reports that an industrial laundry facility might also be part of any lodging development proposal.

The PTI group is already very

active in the Kitimat area in antici-pation of planned LNG proposals receiving construction approval by next year.

As well, The Crossroads, a proposed hotel and camp devel-opment project, hasn’t progressed as quickly as the proponents may have had hoped, due to a number of logistical hurdles.

The company behind the pro-posal, Bryton Group, wants a re-duced density bonus which cur-rently has them contributing $500 per bed to an affordable housing fund to be maintained by the Dis-trict of Kitimat. This fee is similar to one in place for PTI. The Cross-roads project also feels it should be exempt from the Pollution Control Centre charge of $300 per bed.
