Chinese still have sights set on alfalfa plantBy Josh MasseyTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

TERRACE - The Qinhuangdao Economic and Technological De-velopment Zone (QETDZ) from China has the new year pegged for finalizing engineering plans to begin work on the 1,118 acres at the Skeena Industrial Develop-ment Park it purchased from the city last year through a Vancou-ver-based company.

A delegation from the zone, along with representatives from governments in that area, in-cluded a short visit to the site just south of the Northwest Regional Airport Nov. 30 as part of a one-day visit to the city.

Richard Zhang from Taish-eng International Investment Services, which acts for the de-velopment zone in Canada, says

that master plans for the location, which takes up the majority of the development park site, have advanced since the spring when work got underway with engi-neering and consulting company Allnorth.

“It’s the first step, we need to follow the bylaws of the city of Terrace,” he said.

What this involves is testing for water, establishing possible sewer solutions, electricity, ev-erything that will be needed to make the site viable for investors.

While tentative plans for an alfalfa processing plant have al-ready been announced, the QET-DZ is courting other investors contemplating other industrial activity.

Right now the site is a forest-ed area with only dirt road access leading off the main paved road

at the industrial park.“First we need to make this

land ready for the investors, so now we will be working on mas-ter planning for the whole indus-trial park site,” said Zhang.

The alfalfa plant plans call for it to be located on 32 acres, processing the commodity which would be shipped in from grow-ers on the Prairies. After pro-cessing the alfalfa would then be exported to China as feed for livestock and for people.

Tentative estimates place the number of jobs at the plant in the 170 range.

Zhang added that his firm has kept in touch with Dahui Bio-technology Co. Ltd., the com-pany that would build the alfalfa protein extraction plant.

“As far as I know, right now they are doing some investiga-

tions for getting the raw materi-als of the alfalfa and we also help them to consult with the pro-vincial government agricultural ministry,” he said.

“We want to determine where we can get a big quantity of the alfalfa. As far as I know, the area near Terrace has not that much alfalfa, it’s not suitable for grow-ing alfalfa so we need to go a bit farther like Prince George, even farther than there,” said Zhang.

The Nov. 30 visit by the Chi-nese delegation to Terrace in-cluded the signing of what’s called a friendly exchange agree-ment between municipal officials from Qinhuangdao and Terrace city council.

Also on hand at the ceremo-ny at Terrace city hall were repre-sentatives from the Kitselas and Kitsumkalum First Nations.

Hawkair pulls out of Prince Rupert andtrims its service into Terrace as wellBy Kevin CampbellTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT – - Hawkair Aviation will no longer service the Prince Rupert Airport starting on Dec. 1 un-til May or June of next year.

Hawkair president Jay Dilley confirmed the company’s plans to pull its service from Prince Rupert, move it to Kelowna and its sub-sequent layoff of seven of its customer service staff in Prince Rupert.

“During the slower winter months, we’re going to be shifting the capacity out of Prince Rupert and moving it over to Kelowna,” said Dilley.

“It’s a normal [prac-tice] we’ve done in the past. In the past few win-ters, we’ve stayed over the course of the win-ter time, but this year we’ve decided we’ve got a lot more flying oppor-tunity to happen out of the Kelowna market, so we’re moving the air-craft there.”

“A couple” full-time workers’ positions have

been lost and approxi-mately five part-time or casual staff are also be-ing laid off.

The rest of the Prince Rupert opera-tion’s pilot, flight atten-dant and administrative staff are largely based in Vancouver.

Hawkair, which is based in Terrace, is also trimming the number of flights it operates from Terrace to Vancouver.

Customers who have flights booked for the winter months in Prince Rupert are cur-rently being contacted about transitioning over to an Air Canada flight, except for a few select Hawkair flights in De-cember and January, which won’t be affected.

The reason for the pulling of its service is hard to be pinned down on one reason, but Dil-ley explained that the company is experienc-ing slower traffic in more areas than just Prince Rupert.

“Just in general, we’re seeing much low-er traffic in Terrace, we’re seeing lower traf-fic in Vancouver – the

Alberta market is very slow. I can’t really pin-point anything with re-spect to Prince Rupert itself. We’re just seeing a general slower mar-ket, but we are seeing a stronger market over in Kelowna,” Dilley said, adding that Kelowna will be serviced six days per week.

The company is tar-geting a May or June re-turn to Prince Rupert.

“That’s when we see traffic. Individuals in Canada just start to

travel a lot more during that period of time and that’s our intention – to restart the seasonal sum-mer session probably in May or June ... We had a great summer [in Prince Rupert]. We served a lot of guests, but right now we see it as being a slower period of time and its prudent for us to move that aircraft to a place that’s in need of a larger aircraft,” said the president.

Hawkair has pulled out of Smithers as well.

Kitimat council debriefsFebruary storm, finallyBy Cameron OrrTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

KITIMAT - Power outages, short-age of staff and abandoned cars on the roads all contributed to a challeng-ing February weekend for a town try-ing to deal with an sudden unexpected abundance of snow, Kitimat munici-pal managers concluded after finally managing to sit down to collect their thoughts and go over the results of the snowstorm.

At the height, February 5 and 6, a startlingly amount of snow with esti-mates ranging generally from 160-190 centimetres.

The report from the Kitimat man-agers states the snow started falling at around 6 a.m. Thursday, Feb. 6 with and full snow clearing operations be-gan at 9:30 that morning.

The town decided to go ahead with snow clearing even though 12.5 cm of snow hadn’t yet fallen, which is the town’s policy.

That decision was made at 8 a.m. but operations were adjusted due to two vacant positions in the depart-ment, one person on sick leave, and four key personnel who were initially unavailable due to contract negotia-tions at the time.

The report says those employees were back to work for the afternoon shift scheduled for later that day on Feb. 5.

Abandoned cars in the road — stuck due to the amount of snow fall — also impeded snow clearing.

Contractors called in also made slow progress as they were “unfamiliar with locations of infrastructure buried in the snow.”

Among the conclusions of the re-port to council was a need to purchase chains for the graders and snow blow-ers, and a look at the call-in need for snow clearers if council decides to re-duce the benchmark policy level of when snow clearing begins.

On staffing issues, two vacant po-sitions are now filled, and the one-time issue of four employees being tied up for a portion of the storm due to con-tract negotiations won’t be repeated this year as the contract is of course settled.

It was also suggested that the town review its 12.5 cm benchmark for starting snow clearing but council has not set any direction yet in taking on that process.

Other jurisdictions around the northwest faced challenges because of the snow which fell.

Poll shows public losing confidence with BC on LNG fileBy Cameron OrrTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

KITIMAT - Polling firm Insights West has released the results of a year-end poll which they conduct-ed together with Business in Van-couver and the results show the public’s perception of the provin-cial government’s push for lique-fied natural gas development has become “more negative.”

When it comes to energy, pipelines and LNG, 30 per cent of respondents say Premier Christy Clark and her government are do-ing a good job on the file, while 58 per cent say bad. Thirteen per cent were not sure. Insights West gave a B letter grade for that cat-egory. The highest marks went to the government’s handling of crime and public safety which saw 35 per cent saying the Pre-mier’s done a good job and 46 per cent saying bad. It too received a B grade.

Housing and poverty issues were the least favoured, earning a D grade by the firm.

Insights West says a decline in perception for the LNG push has happened over the past two years. In December of 2013 just 35 per cent thought the government’s handling of LNG specifically was bad.

The Premier herself has seen a drop in favourable perception, with the poll showing half of Brit-ish Columbians saying their per-ception of her has worsened over the past six months. Her “net mo-mentum” score is -46 for the poll. NDP leader John Horgan’s is +2.

Insights West describes them-selves as a “progressive” mar-ket research company. The re-sults of this poll are based on an online study conducted between November 9 and November 14 among 812 adults.

The consistency of public opinion is relatively stable in the three geographic zones of the poll, which is Metro Vancouver, Vancouver Island and Rest of BC.

A combined 33 per cent of people in Rest of BC say the gov-ernment is doing a good or very good job pushing for LNG. For-ty-two per cent in that same geo-graphic category say the govern-ment is doing a bad or very bad job.

The Ministry of Natural Gas Development Rich Coleman said in a statement to the Northern Sentinel that the industry is mov-ing ahead.

“Today there are 21 LNG pro-posals in B.C. at various stages of development. Over 30 invest-ment partners are involved. One

major proposal – Pacific North-West LNG – has made a prelim-inary final investment decision,” he wrote. “A total of 13 LNG pro-posals have export approval from Canada’s National Energy Board. Another five applications are cur-rently under consideration.”

Skeena MLA Robin Austin meanwhile is not surprised the public is experiencing waning support for the government on LNG.

“They [Liberals] completely overpromised right from the be-ginning,” said Austin, also the party’s spokesperson for North-ern Economic Development.

He said the wild promises were made for political gain, and even the LNG industry was hurt by the promises. He’s not sug-gesting LNG in the north is a non-starter, and adds that he believes, should an LNG plant eventually be constructed it will very like-ly be in Kitimat over places like Prince Rupert, but says compa-nies operate on their own time-lines and it was never up to the Premier when or if these projects would be built.

He suggests that other prom-ising ventures in new or renew-able technology in the province have also been put to the sidelines in favour of chasing LNG.

Fashionable…

CAMNERON ORR / THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

KITIMAT — The November 20 fashion show at City Centre Mall was a great success. It was also a great night for Aidan Slanina who won an $800-value gift basket. Approximately 150 people attended the event to see a selection of items on display by downtown retailers.


An Open Letter To � e People of the Skeena

My traditional name is Yahaan, my western name is Donnie Wesley. I am the hereditary leader of the Gitwilgyoots tribe of the nine Allied Tribes of Lax Kw’alaams. As a Tsimshian hereditary leader, as a father and grandfather and as a commercial � sherman who depends on the health and abundance of wild salmon, I have a responsibility to protect and defend the Skeena River and its salmon. Paci� c Northwest LNG, a massive industrial project proposed for the estuary of the Skeena River, represents a grave threat to the health and abundance of Skeena salmon as well as other marine resources.

My decision to defend Lelu Island and Flora Banks was informed by ancestral knowledge that this area is crucial to the health of Skeena salmon. � e scienti� c research conducted by the Lax Kw’alaams � sheries team, the Skeena Fishery Commission, which included the very best independent experts from our � nest Universities, con� rms Flora Bank, Lelu Island and the estuary of the Skeena River would be placed at severe risk if this project proceeds. � e proponent hired oil and gas industry consultants to try and disprove this independent and leading edge science. It would be irresponsible for me, or anyone who treasures wild salmon, to depend on a � awed and dysfunctional process to decide for those who depend on this place what development can or cannot happen on our homelands.

� e lower Skeena River has been home to Tsimshian for many thousands of years. Other First Nations hold title to other parts of the Skeena. We now share the Skeena with settler communities and we all embrace common values – we know the health of this river and its salmon de� nes us and binds us together. All of us have an obligation to pass on a healthy Skeena and a healthy wild salmon resource to our descendants.

� e First Nations who would be impacted by this project were not consulted in regard to the proposed site of this project. � is is contrary to Canadian law and international commitments to the concept of free, prior and informed consent. � ere are other issues associated with this project that need to be addressed by all Canadians, including the massive number of new fracked gas wells needed to supply the project, as well as Canada’s ability to meet international standards in regard to climate change. � e decision to site this massive project in the worst site possible has inevitably led to con� ict and uncertainty. � ere are also legitimate questions as to the cost of the project, who will pay for it, and who will build it.

We should identify and support development that is more sustainable, and brings greater bene� ts to all our communities. I am asking that all Skeena First Nations and their leaders, and all people of good will, come together and share this responsibility to defend and protect our home and native land. Together we can � nd a way to protect salmon, our cultures and our children’s future, as well as collectively decide appropriate places where development could occur.

DON’T FORGET THE BIKER ON YOUR LISTNass buses connect to Terrace

TERRACE - With the the provincial govern-ment now looking at ways to improve region-al transportation meth-ods, it may want to con-sider what’s already in place in the Nass Valley north of Terrace.

Village governments there each have mini-buses of varying pas-senger capacity mak-ing trips to Terrace and back.

For the most part the villages concentrate on taking elders to Terrace to shop for groceries and for appointments.

“Each month, when social assistance cheques arrive, the bus will take elders down in the morning and back in the afternoon,” says Eric Grandison, the communications officer with the Gitlaxt’aamiks (New Aiyansh) Village Government.

“It’s a service pro-vided by the village government, meant for lower income people,” said Grandi-son of Gitlaxt’aamiks, the largest of the four Nisga’a villages in the Nass Valley.

It’s a similar situa-tion in Gingolx, which is located at the mouth of the Nass River and at nearly 170 kilometres from Terrace is the far-thest village from Ter-race.

The village has two buses, one of 20 pas-sengers and one of 28, says Gingolx economic development officer Valerie Doolan.

“It’s free for the se-niors,” she said of trips made once a month to Terrace. “We don’t have a regular run. It’s based on demand.”

The bus does not stop at villages along the way to Terrace but the village will charter for specific purposes, Doolan added.

One example is that of the Nass Valley’s brass band, the Maja-galeehl Nisga’a Band, which has members in each community, she said. “And for parent-teacher meetings, the bus will be chartered to take parents to those meetings [at schools in other villages],” Doolan said.

She added that the village would consider an expanded transit ser-vice should a sufficient budget be available.

Another Nisga’a village, Laxgalts’ap (Greenville), maintains a busy transportation schedule, says one of its drivers, Mark Watts.

He drives a 29-pas-senger bus and has been doing the trip from Laxgalts’ap to Terrace for about 10 years.

“This one is four years old and it has 174,000 kilometres on it,” said Watts of the vehicle while parked one day last week in the Skeena Mall park-ing lot.

That day he had taken a group of elders to Terrace for shopping and was waiting to take them back to the Nass

Valley.Laxgalts’ap also uses

the bus for youth and students, taking them to Terrace to swim or to go to dinner and take in a movie, said Watts.

And just recently Watts made a trip to Terrace to pick up a load of presents for Christmas for the vil-lage’s children.

“It was full, stacked right up,” said Watts of the shipment of pres-ents.

While there may not be a regular transit ser-vice between the Nass Valley and Terrace, the Nisga’a Valley Health Authority operates a medical transport ser-vice similar to that of the Northern Health Authority’s Northern

Connections bus ser-vice.

A minibus makes a regular return weekday trip beginning in Gin-golx and stopping in each village on the way to Terrace for people with medical appoint-ments.

“For medically re-quired travel, we’ll also go to Kitimat and take people to the airport if they need to go to Van-couver,” said Maggie Patsey from the Nisga’a Valley Health Author-ity.

The authority also uses a smaller van for travel within the Nass Valley for those living in its smaller villages to travel to the authority’s main health centre in Gitlaxt’aamiks.

Raise carbon tax, B.C. advisors recommendBy Tom FletcherTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

VICTORIA - The B.C. govern-ment’s climate advisory panel wants to start increasing the prov-ince’s carbon tax with a 33 per cent jump in 2018, and says even with higher fuel tax the province won’t meet its current target to re-duce greenhouse gases one third by 2020.

The carbon tax has been fro-zen at $30 a tonne since 2013, a rate that translates to about seven cents a litre on gasoline and similar taxes

on diesel, natural gas and oth-er carbon-based fuels. The gov-ernment’s advisory team recom-mends increasing the carbon tax by $10 a tonne each year starting in 2018, with increased rebates for low-income and rural B.C. resi-dents.

Environment Minister Mary Polak released the panel’s recom-mendations Friday, as the B.C. delegation led by Premier Christy Clark prepares to attend the United Nations climate change meetings in Paris next week.

Polak was skeptical about one

of the panel’s recommendations, to cut the provincial sales tax from seven per cent to six and replace the revenues through higher carbon tax-es in the years ahead.

“It is one of their recommenda-tions, and so we’ll be looking at it along with the others, but I think at first blush, the numbers probably don’t work,” Polak said.

The panel, appointed in May with industry and environmental representatives, concluded that the 2020 reduction target isn’t going to be met.

It recommends a new target of a

40 per cent reduction by 2030, and says the original target of an 80 per cent cut can still be reached with “aggressive” carbon pricing and ex-pansion of the tax to include indus-trial emissions.

Polak said she accepts that as-sessment, and will consult with in-dustry and B.C. residents before setting new policies next spring to meet the new 2030 target.

NDP leader John Horgan said the Clark government has frozen the carbon tax and delayed progress on Metro Vancouver transit with a referendum they expected would

fail.“Rather than reduce emissions,

they’ve gone up,” Horgan said. “And we’re not even counting liq-uefied natural gas.”

Green Party MLA Andrew Weaver said the recommendation to resume increases in the carbon tax is “bold,” but the report also shows Clark’s government gave up on the 2020 target that is still in legislation.

“The key thing is that these recommendations are com-pletely incompatible with the government’s LNG plan,” Weaver said.

After power outage, Prince Rupert time warp explainedBy Kevin Campbell THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - No, it’s not a rip in the space-time continuum, Rupertites.

You’re also not re-living your own Twilight Zone episode.

Alarm clocks in the morning have been wak-ing people up an hour earlier, or more unfortunately, later than they should.

Digital and analog clocks tied to electrical outlets and not satellites, have been telling the wrong time day after day and it’s thanks to BC Hydro’s use of Prince Rupert’s Gas Plant power generator after a city wide power outage in mid-November, that peo-ple have been arriving to work 20 minutes early — or late.

“I shut [my clock off]. Why stress out over that? I just let mine go. I don’t even bother anymore, I got so mad at it,” laughed Rupert resident Mary Lorello last week, adding that she started seeing a change in her times on Tuesday, Nov. 17 – the day following a city-wide power outage in Prince Ru-pert, Port Edward and the area.

“It kept being late so I just let it go [instead of repeatedly � xing it].”

BC Hydro’s Dave Mosure explained the phe-nomenon that led to the wonky clocks last week.

“The normal BC Hydro power grid operates at a frequency of 60 Hertz and is very stable due to its vast size.

“When an area is islanded and no longer part of the larger grid, there can be minor variation in the operating Hertz and the system can operate just over or under 60 Hertz, but well within our operating standards,” explained Mosure.

“The variation does not damage electronics and billing meters are unaffected, but it will cause elec-tro-mechanical clocks to run faster or slower as they use the line frequency as their time reference.

“We recognize and apologize for this inconve-nience. At the same time we are thankful for the Ru-pert Gas Plant being able to supply the city of Prince Rupert through the time it has taken to effect repairs to the damaged transmission lines,” Mosure contin-ued.

Work was completed on the two downed trans-mission lines, including the main 287-kilovolt line by 4 p.m. last Thursday afternoon, ensuring Rupert’s residents could � x their wonky clocks and return them to their reliable time-telling ways from before the outage occurred.

A new era in aluminium production is beginning in Kitimat. Smelter modernization will reposition BC Operations as one of the most sustainable and competitive primary metal aluminium producers in the world. The technology will revolutionize the way we work, dramatically reducing total emissions by nearly 50 per cent. Good news for all of us - our employees, their families and our community.

But it’s not just about technical edge - our employees are the real competitive advantage.

This is John’s storyAs one of our most senior employees, John Leite has been contributing to the success of our BC operations for almost 45 years and isn’t ready to call it a day just yet.

As a systems operator in our Power Operations department, John’s position is a strategic one. He is responsible for managing the day-to-day electrical distribution needs of BC Operations.

John has seen a number of changes throughout the years. Changes from a manual electrical management system involving switches and breakers having to be set outside, to a new one where every aspect of power management can be controlled inside, at a central location. Gone are the days of shutting down an entire potline just to restart a pot. Just one of the many changes a new smelter brings to BC Operations.

What originally attracted John to Rio Tinto was the security of a stable long term job. Now with our new modernized smelter a reality, our employees can continue to have that same confidence for decades to come.

Although many innovations will debut with Kitimat’s smelter start-up, it’s employee know-how and how we work together through decades of aluminium production experience that have positioned BC Operations for success.

This is our smelter

Stylin’ in Thornhill …

JACKIE LIEUWEN / THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

TERRACE - Hairdressing students Pauline Fowler, Katherine Peters, and Torey Harris were at the last board meeting for the Coast Mountains School District, demonstrating some of what they have learned at the new trades centre. The trades programs at the centre are offered in partnership between the school district and the Northwest Community College.

UsingwoodTOKYO - Forestry trade mission delegates got a close-up look at how British Columbia’s wood product technol-ogy and building exper-tise is being used in a new elderly care facility in Tokyo, Japan.

The Hanahata Asuakaen facility, once finished, will be the larg-est 2x4 structure ever built in Japan, with a total floor area of 9,032 square metres and a net wooden floor area of 7,580 square metres. The first floor of the five-storey hybrid struc-ture is built of reinforced concrete and the top four floors use 2x4 con-struction. The building design calls for almost 1,900 cubic metres of wood.

In 2014, Japan’s Ministry of Land, Infra-structure, Transportation and Tourism selected the Hanahata Asukaen facil-ity as the winner of its 2014 design competition for innovative wooden buildings.

The use of Midply shear wall construction was a determining factor in that decision.

Civeo work camp impresses councillorBy Kevin Campbell THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PORT EDWARD - Dis-trict of Port Edward Coun. Christine Mack-enzie took a tour of a Kitimat Civeo work camp under construc-tion last week, and was thoroughly impressed with camp security.

“There is a gate be-fore you even get in and then when you get in you’ve got to re-port again – you’ve got to sign in twice ... If you’ve had some drinks [and are visibly intoxi-cated], then you’re out. You’re not allowed in – your room’s gone,” she said, adding that the camp was an alcohol-free zone.

Angelic return…

BERT HUSBAND / THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

TERRACE - Marielle Petitpas from Cook’s Jewellers in Terrace with this year’s Snow Angel offering. Proceeds from each angel sale goes to the Salvation Army, the cost is $25.00. This is the 15th year Cook’s has sponsored the Snow Angel program and the Salvation Army has been the beneficiary each time.

ScamalertNEW HAZELTON - New Hazelton RCMP are warning of a phone scam that has been re-ported several times in the area.

Victims receive a call from someone claiming to be from the Canada Revenue Agen-cy.

The caller claims that the local police have a warrant for the vic-tim’s arrest, which will be executed should the victim not submit a pay-ment for an alleged tax debt or alleged fraud.

If you have concerns as to the authenticity of the caller, hang up and phone the CRA at 1 800 267 6999.

If you have been a victim of this scam, you can visit www.anti-fraudcentre.ca to report it.

On November 18 at 10 pm, police conducted a traffic stop in Old Ha-zelton.

Open liquor was found in the vehicle and the driver provid-ed a breath sample to a screening device, which resulted in a 3 day road-side prohibition, a liquor act ticket and a vehicle impoundment.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARINGNotice is hereby given that a Public Hearing will be held on Tues-day, December 15, 2015 at the Meeting Center, 3226 Bowser Street, New Hazelton, BC commencing at 7:00 pm to receive representation from all persons who deem their inter-ests to be affected by the proposed zoning amendment bylaw:

Kitimat-Stikine South HazeltonZoning Amendment Bylaw No. 667, 2015

In general terms, the purpose of the proposed bylaw is to amend the Regional District’s South Hazelton Zoning Bylaw No. 326 by rezon-ing property located at 1550 Aldous Street described as Lot 19, District Lot 699, Cassiar District Plan 1250 Except the East 200 Feet, from the Ru2 (Hobby Farm Zone) to the RMH (Mobile Home Park Zone). There is an existing Mobile Home Park on the property con-taining 12 pads. The Park predates the South Hazelton Zoning Bylaw and is deemed to be non-conforming. Successful rezoning would allow the potential to replace mobile homes and occupy vacant pads in accordance with the RMH Zone requirements.

The Public Hearing on Zon-ing Amendment Bylaw No. 667, 2015, is to be held by Directors Linda Pierre, Gail Lowry, and Alice Maitland as delegates of the Region-al District Board. A copy of the Board resolution making the delegation and a copy of the proposed Bylaw may be inspected at the offices of the Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine, 300-4545 Lazelle Avenue, Terrace, BC between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday to Friday, except statutory holidays.

TO lease, a high profi le 1450 sq ft commercial unit in the heart of Terrace’s retail Node on Lakelse Ave. The property features two pads. One is oc-cupied by KFC/Taco Bell drive thru and the other by easyfi -nancial, Subway and one va-cancy. There is excellent ac-cess and egress via both Lakelse Ave and Lazelle Ave. The complex has ample park-ing and is situated directly across from the largest retail complex in the North, Skeena Mall. Please email [email protected] or call 604 418 7447 for more infor-mation.

SPORTSInsidePrince Rupert peewees earn comeback victory at home

By WILLIAM GYETHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - The Prince Rupert peewee rep hockey team was in action over the weekend at the Jim Ciccone Civic Centre.

After dropping Saturday night’s game 4-1 to Smithers, the Seawolves looked to bounce back Sunday morning in the re-match and they would eventually emerge victorious in game two, taking it 4-3.

The � rst frame started out the way the Seawolves wanted, as they were able to gain the zone often. Nolan Stava created some early chances, and much of the play was in Smithers’ end.

Ivan Handrard of Smithers went against the run of play and scored a very nifty backhand goal, top corner to put Smithers in front 1-0.

But the Seawolves did not give up at all and pressed for the equalizer. Penalties were com-mon and after a penalty to Jon-athan Pirillo of Prince Rupert,

Handrard hit the post. Aiden Watkinson was a force

for the Seawolves all morning, going hard to the net, and drawing a penalty.

Braeden Anderson continued the smart play, putting the puck on goal with traf� c. Rupert cap-tain Ben Northcott took the puck from his own blue line and was able to get in on goal and scored far side, low on the Smithers goal-tender. More Rupert penalties fol-lowed and the period ended 1-1.

The second period started with Rupert short-handed. Rupert goalie Jacob Gordon played well, and helped the Seawolves kill the penalty.

A give-away up the middle hurt the Seawolves as Handrard capitalized on a wrist shot from the slot making it 2-1 Smithers. Prince Rupert’s Arlen Deschamp then pounced and scored to tie the game up 2-2.

Momentum shifted and Stava went end to end and buried, mak-ing it 3-2 for Prince Rupert at the end of two frames.

The athletes worked hard and chances were created at both ends of the ice. Stava fed Deschamp and he scored making it 4-2.

James Shorter of Smithers took advantage of a giveaway at the Rupert blue line, and went in on a breakaway, � nishing with a nice forehand-backhand deke from to close the gap 4-3.

Gordon stopped the remain-der of the shots that came Ru-pert’s way. The game ended in a 4-3 win for the Seawolves.

“Our game is about speed and puck movement. We took it to them in the � rst, we had a few breakdowns in the � rst part of the second, but we came back.

“To a man I think we out-played them and took advantag-es of the chances we got. [There was] a lot of character displayed today, I think that’s one of the keys to our victory,” said coach Bruce Watkinson.

The peewees’ next action comes in the form of road play as they head to Kitimat for two games on Jan. 9 and 10.

Centennial boys win provincial gold By Jackie LieuwenTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

TERRACE - Shouts of victory erupt-ed and stands emptied as fans crowded the court to celebrate with the senior boys volleyball team from Centennial Christian School after they won gold at provincials in Abbotsford on Satur-day, Nov. 28.

“It was awesome!” said coach Je-siah Bartley. “The guys played unbe-lievable.”

The three-day provincial A tour-nament saw Centennial in � nals with Abbotsford Christian School, the host team who had beat them in � nals last year. Going in, Bartley said Centenni-al boys were a bit nervous, but also ex-cited, focused and ready to play.

They started out the � rst set strong, and Bartley said he could see their fac-es change as they realized they had a good shot at the win.

After winning the � rst, they came out � at in the second and lost, which de� ated them a bit, Bartley said.

But the mental toughness the team has been developing came through, and they were “able to pull through that loss and come back and win the next two [sets] to win the game.”

Those at the game, or watching the live stream from home, all comment on the incredible crowd support Cen-tennial had, despite facing the home team. Bartley said nearly all the other teams at provincials were cheering for them, with many new friends from the weekend, and it really boosted their energy in the game.

“It felt like a home gym for us,” he said.

Centennial libero Lindsay Ewald said their con� dence was down at

times, but then other teams “kicked in and droned out the Abbotsford home fans.”

“This really boosted my energy, con� dence, and, in my opinion, led us to play even better,” she said. “I think that the fans were a huge part of our victory.”

Centennial team captain Evan Veldman won the tournament MVP for his skill and leadership.

“He was playing unbelievable. He was hitting the ball harder than I have ever seen him hit,” said Bartley, add-ing that as setter, he was also making very smart, very good plays.

Several times after Veldman made a kill or a serve, the stands erupted in MVP chants. “It was pretty cool to see the other players and the fans recognize the amount of skill that he brought to the � oor,” Bartley com-mented.

The � rst team all-star went to Lu-cas Mantel, Centennial’s left-handed hitter on the right side who is an all-around strong player, Bartley said.

“He was just solid all tourna-ment… he can make plays out of whatever… he’ll pass, he’ll set, he’ll hit, he’ll just make smart plays and he’s always got a lot of energy... His blocking as well, it was just huge for us.”

Bartley said having three left-handed players spiking from the right side gave Centennial an added edge.

“That was a huge weapon for us, we had strong attacks from both sides of the � oor,” he said.

Middle players Liam Clunas and Markus Behnke also made a huge dif-ference for the team, blocking players a lot bigger than them and bringing an energy which Bartley says really lifted

the team. Libero Lindsay Ewald was the

only girl in the entire tournament, playing with the senior boys because there was no senior girls team at Cen-tennial.

“She was by far the best passer in the whole tournament,” Bartley said, adding that she really helped the team by giving them that foundation to launch consistent strong attacks.

“All of the players performed re-ally well,” said Bartley.

Centennial played � ve round robin games to start off the tournament, win-ning the � rst four in two sets against teams from Fernie, Duncan, Bernaby and Kelowna.

They lost their last round robin game in two sets to Abbotsford, and Bartley says it was partly because the team went in quite nervous.

But the loss served to “put a � re in them to really come out strong in the � nals,” Bartley said.

Centennial faced Vernon in the quarter � nal, losing their � rst set 19-25 but coming back to win three straight sets 25-19, 28-26, and 25-23.

The semi � nal pit Centennial against Credo from Langley, where they battled through some very in-tense and sets, winning the � rst set 31-29, and losing the second 25-27. They won the third set 25-12, and the fourth 25-21.

Centennial has progressively im-proved at provincials for the last four years, ranking 5th, 3rd, 2nd and now 1st.

“We as coaches have pushed our kids to play volleyball at a high level but play with humility,” Bartley said.

“I was so proud to see these kids do exactly that.”

Developing gymnasts…

SUBMITTED / THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

KITIMAT - The Kitimat Dynamics Gymnastics Club has had a great start to the year, as their new coach Bill Tyrwhitt and long time coach Angela Pitzel teach the team new skills at an amazing pace. They showed the progression of talented gymnasts at the Alumi-num City Telethon in October. This month some of the Kitimat gymnasts will be trying out for the BC Winter Games in Penticton in February. Then most of the KDGC competitive team head to North Vancouver for the � rst competition of the year. On December 6, gymnasts will put on their Annual Christmas Display at 2:30pm at Riverlodge.

Job fair…

KITIMAT — WorkBC’s Fit Your Fit skills information fair came through Kitimat to give students a hands-on look at in demand job skills in the province. Above is Ryley Ellement, Rachel Udy and Jordan Foxall.

Kingfisher townhouse planBy Cameron OrrTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

KITIMAT - Residents on Margetts Street are unlikely to be terribly happy about the return of a townhouse devel-opment proposal for the area of King-fisher behind the north end of the street.

In 2014 an application to develop that land in to a complex of over 50 units failed to garner Kitimat Council support for the rezoning, after a num-ber of complaints from neighbour-hood residents concerned about the im-pact of traffic and privacy of their own homes.

However this new proposal, from the same developer McFadden Man-agement, now meets the town’s exist-ing zoning for the property.

This application is for 40 units.

The complex will include five buildings, three expected to front Kingfisher on the road leading to the golf course.

Staff note to council that since ex-isting zoning allows the 40 units they have limited ability to withhold a de-velopment permit.

Conditional on the development will be for the developer to bring the north part of Kingfisher Avenue up to municipal standards.

Council will likely meet for a de-cision on the permit on December 14. Policy states residents must have 10 days notice before council makes a de-cision.

The decision so far is to receive the application, send it to the Adviso-ry Planning Commission, and to issue public notice for the proposal.
