Local govt’s protest fish catch ban planBy Anna KillenTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

TERRACE - Both the Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine and the City of Terrace have come out in opposition to the Minis-try of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations’ proposal to move to catch and release only for trout and char caught in Skee-na region rivers and streams.

At the Jan. 25 regional dis-trict meeting, the board voted in favour of writing a letter of oppo-sition to the proposal, after hear-ing City of Terrace representa-tives Bruce Bidgood and Lynne Christiansen and Thornhill di-rector Ted Ramsey speak to the topic.

And the City of Terrace fol-

lowed in the regional district’s footsteps the following Mon-day, Jan. 28, at its regular council meeting, also voting to send a let-ter of opposition to the ministry.

A petition has been circu-lating opposing the proposal to move to non retention of the � sh, and various interest groups like the BC Wildlife Federation have been voicing their concerns.

But those in favour of the proposal cite decreasing � sh stocks and say a precautionary approach is the only way for � sh in the region to survive.

“When numbers of � sh start to disappear, we’re all in trouble,” said angler Jim Culp. “The pic-ture’s completely changed [over the years], there are too many people and not enough � sh.”

Culp says it’s a very com-plicated situation, and there isn’t enough money or staff to manage the � sheries in the way they should be. “I’m absolutely shocked that they would do this,” he said, speaking to the city and district’s opposition.

“This is really quite unrea-sonable on their part because they should take the time to learn what’s going on, and I don’t think they’ve done that.”

At the council meeting, councillor Lynne Christiansen said the proposal should be op-posed as local people love to go out � shing as a family.

In stating her case, she noted the regional district had already come out in opposition to the proposal. “[Fishing] is what peo-

ple like to do with their family and involves little expense,” she said. “It’s what families enjoy to do here.”

It’s important to ensure � sh-ing regulations are followed for conservation but this new regula-tion takes that to the extreme, she said.

Councillor Bruce Bidgood said he and Christiansen prob-ably had more of the love of � sh-ing in their veins than the rest of council and he agreed with her comments.

“I also have an objection [to a regulation] which would see no retention of trout or char,” he said, adding he’s not opposed to conservation but this regulation was � awed in its timing and done without broad consultation.

Kitimat marine society fundraising for new boat By Cameron OrrTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

KITIMAT - The Kitimat Marine Rescue Society (KMRS) is on their way to reaching a fundrais-ing goal for a new rescue boat.

Volunteers with KMRS have so far reached $380,000 in their quest to reach $600,000 for a new, enclosed vessel.

That $380,000 includes a possible contribution by Kitimat Council. The request for funds was forwarded to their � nal bud-get deliberations set for next week.

The project director for the fundraising project, Duncan Pea-cock, said their existing rescue boat has been in service now for 11 years.

“Our current project is to re-place the open vessel we’re cur-rently running with a fully en-closed new vessel,” he said.

The new boat would also add 10 feet, making it a 36 foot vessel.

Replacing their boat with an enclosed one will mean the crew and potential casualties will be

better protected during missions.Peacock said it’s dif� cult to

bring back an injured or hypother-mic patient back to land in cold weather.

“We’re all dressed for it with the vests we can wear as a crew, and even for us conditions are quite severe at times,” he said.

The longest mission to date for them, he said, was 14 hours.

As they cover the entire chan-nel up to the inside passage, he said they could be 90 miles out from their home base.

“Depending on the weath-er conditions, you could be two, three hours away from getting back to home base.”

He said they are called out ap-proximately 14 times a year.

A lot of their calls are split be-tween people who are overdue for their return and with people who have broken down, a lot of times from colliding with a log or rock which is hidden under the water.

They’ve also been noticing a lot of calls lately from people who are not local to Kitimat.

“Over the past couple of years

we’ve been getting a lot of calls from people who are visitors to the community,” adding that many are from Alberta.

He doesn’t say that to look down on those from Alberta, he said, but to highlight the dangers for people not accustomed to the area.

“This is still a remote area,” he said, with thousands of miles of shoreline before another com-munity.

Even VHF radio, which he said is really the only way to call out for help, can be spotty with the channel’s mountainous ter-rain.

Meanwhile the group is al-ways looking for volunteers and Peacock said people can call him at home with questions about the group, at 250-632-4195.

With fundraising for their new vessel going on for about a year and a half now, they’re hop-ing their on their way to meeting their goal.

“[The boat’s] for the commu-nity. It’s a big investment for the safety of the community,” he said.

PipelineopposedBy Jeff NagelTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

VANCOUVER - A new poll has found 61 per cent of B.C. residents oppose Enbridge’s pro-posed Northern Gate-way pipeline, while sup-port is at 35 per cent.

And the Insights West online survey found opponents of the project are more en-trenched – 38 per cent are strongly opposed, compared to just 11 per cent who strongly sup-port the new route for crude oil across north-western B.C. to Kitimat.

“The negative side has continued to build momentum,” said In-sights West president Steve Mossop, citing a hardening of opinions against Enbridge in a series of polls since last spring. “Opinions are becoming much stron-ger,” he said, likening the Enbridge issue to the crystallization of public opinion against logging in Clayoquot Sound in the 1990s.

It’s a different sto-ry in Alberta, where the survey, which polled 512 B.C. residents and 562 Albertans, found 75 per cent support for the project.

The margin of error is plus or minus 4.1 per cent 19 times out of 20.

There’s no mistaking the importance of Kitimat, B.C., to the Gateway project. It’s where the pipeline ends, and it’s where marine operations begin.

I’d like to set the record straight on why we chose Kitimat, at the head of the Douglas Channel, as the site for Gateway’s marine terminal. The answer took thousands of hours of research, planning, engineering, environmental science, oceanography consultation, weather monitoring, and simulation. But the simple reason is . . . safety, all the way.

The Douglas Channel is one of the widest and deepest inland waterways on North America’s west coast. Government research had already determined Kitimat to be among the safest ports in B.C., and about 1,500 tankers carrying petrochemicals have docked safely at Kitimat over the past quarter-century.

Strategically speaking, Kitimat provides the lowest environmental risk for all aspects of Gateway operations. It offers a safer endpoint for the pipeline route, from a geotechnical perspective. The marine terminal at Kitimat also provides safe approaches for tanker traffi c — with a suitable turning basin in Kitimat Arm, and natural deep-water berths that are sheltered from open-water wave conditions.

At its very narrowest, the Douglas Channel is 1.4 kilometres wide — three times wider than Transport Canada’s recommended width for two-way tanker traffi c. Water depths in the marine channels are up to several hundred metres.

As an added measure, full simulations of vessel traffi c in the Douglas Channel were carried out at a world-leading facility in Denmark. It tested the largest proposed vessels in environmental conditions that tankers would experience in the marine channels. The result was a thumbs-up on the shipping route, endorsed by both government departments and the British Columbia Coast Pilots.

Why Kitimat? Why the Douglas Channel? It’s the safe option for Gateway.

Club receives donationBy Martina PerryThe NorTherN coNNecTor

PRINCE RUPERT - The Prince Rupert Port Authority took aim at the Prince Rupert Eagle Eye Archery Club as the final beneficiary of the 2012 Community In-vestment Fund.

“Having a dedicat-ed club like Eagle Eye Archers with the equip-ment, expertise and funds to operate year-round is a privilege that residents of all ages can enjoy,” Don Krusel, president and CEO of the Prince Rupert Port Authority, said about last week’s announce-ment.

The port donated $9,895 to the Eagle Eye Archery Club to pur-chase new equipment and along with $9,445 the club raised through fundraising initiatives, Eagle Eye was able to purchase 18 Genesis Bows, 120 Genesis-rat-ed arrows, a new bow press, training from a BC Archery Association

instructor for 14 mem-bers and a 28-foot cov-ered cargo trailer.

“Youth as young as five years old and se-niors well into their golden years now have the pleasure of shoot-ing the same caliber bow and arrows. We are also now able to accommo-date the maximum num-ber of 16 archers on the shooting line at the same time in our facility and have the capacity to tow

all our equipment to any archery function in the Pacific Northwest,” Fred Hutchings, president of Eagle Eye, said.

Currently the club has a membership of 53 families and more than 90 archers, with Hutch-ings saying the port’s donation will allow the club to meet demands of its growing member-ship and will increase the quality and quantity of club equipment.

Earthquake aftershocks being monitored by researchersBy Quinn BenderTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - A magnitude 6.0 trem-or last week near Craig, AK, was just one of tens-of-thousands of aftershocks that re-searchers are monitoring as part of a new sci-entific study to better assess the likelihood of where the next earthquake will strike, and with what force.

Dr. John Cassidy, an expert in earth-quake seismology with Natural Resources Canada, has zeroed in on the rare research opportunity to study two powerful temblors that struck just 70 days and 300 kilometres apart—a 7.7-magnitude earthquake near Hai-da Gwaii last October, and the 7.5-magnitude earthquake Jan. 4 off the coast of Alaska. One of the research goals is to determine whether these two events are somehow related.

“You don’t know if it will be some amaz-ing new discovery,” said Cassidy, “or some run of the mill thing. That’s just the nature of research.”

Additional instruments have been in-stalled on Haida Gwaii to measure surface movements from the smaller aftershocks to get an accurate pic-ture of the seismic fault and how it slipped. For the past month newly-placed instru-ments on the sea � oor have also been collect-ing data, which will help determine wheth-er the quakes have added pressure to the fault.

“The goal of the monitoring and the re-search is to understand where earthquakes are more likely to occur in the future, how the ground will shake and for how long you can expect it to shake,” he said.

Cassidy con� rmed there has been more seismic activity than usual in the region, but

it’s mostly attributable to aftershocks rather than new earthquakes.

The 6.0 aftershock last week occurred at almost the precise loca-tion as the 7.5 quake in January. It struck short-ly before 1 a.m. Jan. 31, roughly 100 kilometres west of Craig, AK, and 10 kilometres beneath the surface. There were no reports of damage and the United States Geological Survey stat-ed there was no dan-ger of a tsunami. Cas-sidy said aftershocks like this are � nally subsiding and should cease within four

weeks.“Haida Gwaii has seen almost non-stop

shaking for months. A lot of those wouldn’t be felt, but there have been a number of four-

and � ve-magnitude aftershocks for the � rst few weeks or month that people would have felt every few days. Very, very frightening for the people there.

“And now after the 7.5 earthquake in Alaska, many of those aftershocks have been felt on Northern Haida Gwaii—Masset. so they’re now feeling aftershocks from the South and the North.”

Since October’s earthquake, Haida Gwaii has experienced more than 40,000 after-shocks.

“All of that information will help us be able to better model tsunamis and predict tsu-nami effects, to what controls earthquakes and where we can expect them in the future,” Cassidy said.

“What we learn from Haida Gwaii… will help us better calibrate our models so we can be better prepared.”

Following a peer review from seis-mologists around the world, Cassidy hopes to publish the results of his re-search in the next few months.

“What we learn from Haida Gwaii... will help us better cali-brate our models so we can be better prepared.”

Swan Lake in Kitimat

Sunday trial runs for library

Big change as penny bids farewell

ContributedTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

KITIMAT - The Kiti-mat Concert Association presents Ballet Jorgen’s “Swan Lake” at Mount Elizabeth Theatre on Sunday, February 10 at 7:00 pm.

In celebration of Ballet Jorgen Canada’s 25th anniversary sea-son, artistic director and CEO Bengt Jorgen has re-envisioned the classical and dramat-ic Swan Lake, adding a hint of Canadian heri-tage. While this major new production of Swan Lake showcases the ex-traordinary beauty of traditional ballet in its purest form, Jorgen re-imagines it in the pic-turesque seascape of the Fortress of Louisbourg, Nova Scotia.

The elaborate sets are designed by Camel-

lia Koo, re� ecting the beauty of Canada’s na-tional heritage park and providing a dramat-ic backdrop to Robert Doyle’s 17th century costume designs. Doyle worked on the original restoration project of the Fortress of Louisbourg.

Ballet Jorgen is committed to not only recreate ballet classics in a way that is respectful of tradition, but also in a way that is engaging for their modern audience. They engage in a dia-logue about Canada and re� ect Canadian identity in their work.

“I am so excited to do this work and be able to do it with the kind of incredible dancers that we have,” said Bengt Jorgen. “Swan Lake has an evocative and inspir-ing quality that makes it a pleasure and beauty to work on, and I’m ex-cited about transferring that feeling to the people watching it.”

City of Prince Rupert against sale of Ridley TerminalsBy Martina Perry The NorTherN coNNecTor

PRINCE RUPERT - The City of Prince Ru-pert doesn’t want to see Ridley Terminals Inc. (RTI) sold into the pri-vate sector.

Council decided to express opposition to the sale at the Jan. 28 city council meeting, more than a month af-ter the Federal Government an-nounced its plan to sell Ridley Ter-minals.

Selling Rid-ley into the pri-vate market caused confusion for councillors because of the success the op-eration has seen over the past few years. Previously, the Feder-al Government had to subsidize RTI to keep it running, with govern-ment support deteriorat-ing from $4.5 million a year to zero. Addition-ally, operating profits at Ridley grew from zero to $33.5 million annual-ly since 2005.

Furthermore, RTI is expected to make even more profits due to un-dergoing expansions that will see the termi-nal’s annual shipping ca-pacity increase from 12-to 24- million tonnes by the end of 2014.

The most vo-cal member of coun-cil against the sale was councillor Joy Thorkel-son.

“Other than philoso-phy, why is the govern-ment getting rid of the cash cow? It seems to me to be inane. It was okay for the govern-ment to have it when it was [putting] $4.5 million into it a year. Now it makes $33 mil-lion a year and we’re going to sell it?” she said.

Thorkelson said she worries if there were a contraction in the coal mining industry and the new terminal operator decided to close it down, there would be little the City could do to stop it.

“If private enter-prises decide to close it in the future because of a loss, we will have no recourse. It’s too much part of our community to allow that to happen,”

she said. Thorkelson moved

the City communicate to both the federal and pro-vincial governments that the City of Prince Ru-pert objects to the sale of Ridley Island Terminals and believes the govern-ment should maintain operations at RTI.

Then, Thorkelson moved to suggest the government provide revenue sharing on op-erations going through Prince Rupert as a new way of raising income.

“If the Canadian budget is so wealthy, they can turn over that $33.5 million over to the City of Prince Rupert every year,” Thorkelson said.

This is the second time the Federal Gov-ernment has attempted

to sell RTI in the past decade, first putting the operation up for bidding in 2005. Back then For-tune Minerals was iden-tified as the preferred buyer, bidding $20 mil-lion to be paid over 40 years.

However, the Fed-eral Government can-

celled the sale in 2006 after receiving resis-tance from the Provincial Gov-ernment, the North Central Local Govern-ments Associa-tion (NCLGA) and the user groups at Rid-ley.

C o n c e r n s raised from the previous sale process made

the Federal Government commit to protecting the interest of the users by promising RTI will continue to operate in an open access manner. The government stated that’s non-negotiable and if no such bids are made RTI won’t neces-sarily be sold.

Another condition of the sale is that control-ling interests in the com-pany will not be sold to state-owned companies outside of the country.

“Other than philosophy, why is the government getting rid of the cash cow?”

WestJet advances Terrace talksBy Staff WriterThe NorTherN coNNecTor

TERRACE - WESTJET is advancing its discussions with the Northwest Region-al Airport about setting up service here.

The society which runs the airport and the airline signed a non-disclosure agreement in December as discussions evolved.

The agreement followed WestJet announcing last year it was forming a sub-sidiary, since named Encore, to serve smaller Canadian destinations.

It then invited more than 30 airports, the Northwest Regional Airport being one, to Calgary to make sales pitches stating why WestJet

should come to their com-munities.

“I wish I could tell you more but because of the non-disclosure agreement I can’t,” said airport gen-eral manager Carman Hen-dry about discussions with WestJet. “But they haven’t said ‘no’”.

A WestJet announce-ment of the first airports En-core would service was ex-pected in January but has now been put over to this month.

The company is expect-ed to start serving the first of the smaller airports the sec-ond half of the year using seven Q400 Bombardier tur-boprop planes, adding more aircraft and more destina-tions as time moves on.

The Q400, a newer ver-sion of the Dash 8 type now flown into Terrace by Air Canada Jazz and Hawkair, are quieter and faster than their predecessors and would reduce the flying time between Terrace and Van-couver.

WestJet’s consideration of Terrace comes as the air-port experienced record traf-fic in 2012 with 139,193 passengers passing through its doors, easily eclipsing the 120,384 passenger mark in 2011.

That growth is on the strength of an improv-ing northwestern economy thanks to large projects such as Rio Tinto Alcan’s rebuild of its Kitimat aluminum smelter.

More Air Canada flights expectedBy Staff WriterThe NorTherN coNNecTor

TERRACE - AIR CANADA has an-nounced its adding a fifth flight to its daily Vancouver-Terrace run as of July.

“This year there will be 5 Dash-8-300 flights (vs. 4 Dash 8-300 flights in 2012) in response to the demand,” said company official Angela Mah on Friday, Feb. 1. The daily capacity will rise from 200 seats to 250 a day.

News of additional service into Ter-race was part of an announcement of increases of service into a number of Western Canadian airports.

Air Canada will also be adding to its Vancouver-Smithers service, increasing daily capacity from 100 to 150 seats. In all, there will be increased capacity to 19 airports. Prince Rupert was not on the list.

Alaska ferry service marks 50 years in Prince Rupert By Quinn BenderTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - A brief ceremo-ny was held at the Prince Rupert Ferry Terminal Jan. 29 to mark the 50th an-niversary of Alaska Marine Highway System’s service to it’s only Canadian port of call.

Dignitaries and community leaders attended the early morning event to ac-knowledge the im-pact the ferry ser-vice has made on cross-border rela-tions and both the tourism and trade industries.

“It is the only Ca-nadian port, which makes us an interna-tional ferry system,” said Murray Sheppard, Prince Rupert Terminal’s manager for the AMHS.

“It’s good for the Alaskans be-cause it gives them an outlet to the lower 48 [states]. But also for Prince Rupert, it’s really good for tourism—good for all of British Columbia.”

In 2011, 18,270 passengers and 7,031 vehicles passed through the Prince Rupert Terminal.

Prince Rupert mayor Jack Mus-sallem used the event to underscore the City’s excellent relationship with Ketchikan, AK, and the burgeon-ing business opportunities that exist now with the City’s port facilities. A Ketchikan delegation will be visiting sometime this year for what they’re calling the 2013 Prince Rupert Trade Mission.

“We have a strong relationship with them,” Mussallem said.

“We visit each other back and forth and even go up there for their

Fourth of July celebrations. We’re in their parade… we’ve always been in-terested in trade and commerce, and some of the issues they face are very similar to us.”

The 1963 inclusion of Prince Ru-pert in the ferry’s toure was seen as a testament to the city’s link and simi-

larities to its north-coast American neighbours.

In the spir-it of what Mus-sallem called “a friendship that’s developed over the years,” Cap-tain Nick Collars of the MV Taku, which was in port during the cer-emony, was pre-sented with a box of Nanaimo bars

after the of� cial exchange of hand-shakes and plaque presentations. When docking in Prince Rupert the American captain, who has worked the route from Ketchikan to Prince Rupert since 1998, is known to race into Cow Bay for coffee and a square of the rich, Canadian west-coast treat.

“That was really nice of them,” he said with a laugh.

“This really is the best job I’ve ever had.”

The Alaskan state-owned fer-ry service is an extension of the pub-lic highway infrastructure. It operates 11 vessels in the North Coast wa-ters, providing a vital link between 33 communities for trade, trans-port and essential services. It covers 3,500 miles from Bellingham, WA, to Dutch Harbour in the Aleutian Islands.

“It is the only Canadian port, which makes us an international ferry system.”

TERRACE - Northern Savings invited its members to help spread some joy in December 2012. For every member who signed up for electronic statements that month, Northern Savings donated $5 to local food banks. Northern Savings donated $1,250 to regional food banks. John Wiebenga from the Terrace Churches Food Bank ac-cepts a cheque from Terrace branch manager Grace Makowski.

US border jumper picked upBy Staff ReporterThe NorTherN coNNecTor

NEW AIYANSH - A man wanted for a series of break and enters in Alaska and who then il-legally entered Canada at Gingolx in the Nass Valley was arrested try-ing to re-enter the Unit-ed States near Nelson in the Kootenays Jan. 24.

John Ollivier, an American citizen, was a passenger in a truck when he was arrested without incident by Ca-nadian border agents at the Nelway land cross-ing near Nelson.

Officials say the search for Ollivier began Jan. 21 after a 16-foot jet skiff, a boat he allegedly stole in Alaska, beached at Gingolx in the Nass Valley.

Ollivier initially avoided RCMP offi-cers in the Nass Valley, prompting a search for him in the Terrace area.

He was refused pas-sage aboard a passenger plane leaving the North-west Regional Airport in Terrace and began hitch-hiking south, report offi-cials.

The search for Olliv-ier, 46, involved Alaskan State troopers, US Cus-

toms agents, the RCMP and the Canadian Bor-der Service Agency.

“Each agency was committed to getting the job done and ensuring Mr. Ollivier was inter-cepted and brought be-

fore the courts to answer allegations against him,” said Sgt. Donovan Tait, the commanding offi-cer of the Lisims RCMP detachment in the Nass Valley.

The break and en-

ters of several cabins occurred in the Unuk River area of Alaska. A photo array was used by RCMP officers in Kin-colith to originally iden-tify Ollivier as a person of interest.

Eat togetherFamily Day is the ideal time to bring your family ‘back to the table’. Given the increasingly busy schedule of every member of the family, eating together has been a casualty of our hectic days.

Whether you’re together in your home, on a mini-vaca-tion or enjoying a local restaurant, there are numerous bene� ts to eating together.

Sharing a table means sharing your day, sharing your un-divided attention and sharing conversation. It is a chance to give extra attention to your children and teens. Family meals foster warmth, security and love, as well as a sense of belonging.

� e way that you act at the table becomes a model for your children. � ey learn from your appreciation of the meal and your social skills - especially when outside the home. Table manners are social skills and leading by exam-ple makes it easier for parents to teach without lecturing.

Using family meals as a way to sample new menus can be both fun and a great learning experience. By giving family members input and the opportunity to choose the menu, it becomes an ideal way to expand their horizons on a wider range of foods and cultures. It also can lead to healthier choices as well as developing an open mind for experienc-ing new things.

A way to get more out of a family meal is to engage the family in menu selection, shopping and preparation. You can begin this at a very young age giving children age-appropriate tasks like stirring ingredients, washing vegetables, tearing lettuce and setting the table. As your children grow they can take on more key responsibilities and the pride that comes with preparing a special family meal. � is teaches your children cooking skills, nutrition and appreciation for the e� ort of meal preparation. It can also provide a great source of accomplishment and sense of self-su� ciency.

Plan to make your Family Day special by including all those who make up your family. Pay tribute by making your meal special and so memorable you’ll want to ensure you do it more often.

■ � ere is no better province to explore than British Columbia and no better fam-ily bonding experience than sharing the thrill of a new discovery or experience. Day trips can create remarkable family memories. � ey o� er a wonderful way to spend time together and learn more about where you live.

� e variety of experiences available to families is di� erent in each region of this spectacular province - you might decide to explore close to home or venture to one of the other regions in B.C. over the Family Day weekend.

Whether taking SkyTrain, BC Ferries, driving, or hopping a � ight, there are many ways to invest in a day of discovery. Travel is just one aspect. To maximize the experience families should involve everyone in the planning.

By planning ahead you and your whole family can experience a worthwhile out-ing and make every aspect fun. Create a list of activities or venues and assign a rough budget for each. Allow family mem-bers to weigh in on their preferences and discuss what they would like to see, do or learn at each.

You might decide to stay in a hotel and be a tourist in your own hometown. Kids or youth can map out the sites and activi-

ties, creating a family agenda including selecting the points of interest, lunch and shopping as well as enjoying the ameni-ties your hotel might o� er. It’s the perfect way to free up everyone from everyday tasks and roles.

Researching history, attractions, muse-ums, parks and markets can teach valu-able lessons and it helps children to plan within a budget. � is way they are part of making important decisions, appreciate both the e� ort and cost of outings and will be

more

enthused about an agenda they helped develop.

Be sure to capture your family time by taking photos, saving literature or pur-chasing a memento. � is can lead to great family discussions about what each individual enjoyed or learned and starts you planning for future family explo-rations.

Explore together

your meal special and so memorable you’ll want to ensure you do it more often.you do it more often. Kitimat is a great place

■ If you ask any adult about some of their favourite memories of childhood, you will invariably hear something re-lated to food. Whether it’s baking with Grandma or grilling hamburgers for a cookout with Dad, cooking is always an important part of growing up.

Family Day is a great time to dig out those family cookbooks and try

a recipe handed down by the older generation. Your mom’s famous meatloaf or your un-cle’s recipe for spinach dip are

great things to try with fam-ily members of all ages.

Maybe you’re looking to make some-thing you’ve never made before, or perhaps you want to try out a new cuisine. Hitting the library or the web will give you ideas for new recipes, whether it’s trying to duplicate your favourite takeout pizza or make an authentic spicy Indian dish. Let each member of the family choose a recipe that they want to try, whether it’s for breakfast, lunch, dinner or a snack. That way everyone gets involved and has their say in what the family eats. Maybe you’ll find a new favourite food or discover that your child is aiming to become the next Mario Batali or Julia Child.

Your local grocery store is sure to have a wide selection of ingredients that you may never have tasted before. Wandering the aisles may even spark your imagination.

Learning about what goes into a dish will set your family on the road to healthy eating. Taking a few min-utes to read the labels on a food item will demonstrate how to make healthy choices and help your children in the future. Finding healthy alternatives to not-so-healthy foods can be a fun ex-periment, and may end up being tasti-er than the original food. Many stores will have sections devoted to healthier options, whether they’re gluten-free or just lower in calories.

■ Having a day o� from school doesn’t mean learning stops for the day. � ere are plenty of educational things you can do in British Columbia, whether in your own home or outside.

How about starting with a trip to your local library? It will hold plenty of books on any topic that you can imagine. Maybe a book of science exper-iments or a historical novel set in the early days of Canada will stoke your imagination. Let the kids each pick out a book to take home with them and start a lifetime love of reading. Your local bookstore will also hold a variety of options if your child can’t bear to part with his or her new favourite book.

A local historical attraction is also a great place to pay a visit. Whether it’s Chinatown or Steveston � shing village, there is a ton of history right in your own backyard. Most places will have a museum or heritage building around that can serve as a jumping-o� point for learning more about the city where you live.

Learning can be more than just read-ing though. Pull out the laptop and get

your kids to type out an email to a fam-ily member or friend outside of B.C. Per-haps they can even tell the person about what they learned at the museum or library!

Keeping a journal is also a great way to practice writing and literacy skills. Even if it’s not a daily occurrence, sitting down in the evening to write about the events of the day or week can get kids thinking and practicing their handwrit-ing.

Foggy, fun day at Snow Valley OpenBy ContributedTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

TERRACE - The Snow Valley Nordic Ski Club held their annual Snow Valley Open race on Saturday, Jan. 26. It was a highly successful race with 68 skiers from Kiti-mat, Terrace and Smithers competing for our iconic chocolate bar prizes. (No med-als, but everyone gets a chocolate bar at the � nish line!)

Some very good times were recorded: Connor Block � nished 18 seconds ahead of the competition in the Peewee boys 1.5 km. And Amelie Hrynkiw was a full 48 seconds ahead of the Peewee girls.

Johannes Vandenberg was 28 seconds ahead in the Midget Boys 3.5 km and Mag-da Vandenberg was almost 9 minutes ahead of her competition.

In the masters categories Peter Krause of Smithers did the 7.5 in 22.44 minutes while Heidi Siebring took the women’s prizes in 34.58 minutes.

The skiers enjoyed dry weather and excellent snow conditions. And every-one loved the homemade soup and baking afterwards. The club is looking forward to their next big event – the Snow Valley Marathon with varying distances suitable for the whole family at any skill level – on Saturday, Feb. 23. See the website, www.snowvalleynordics.com for details. Think snow!

Strong showing for Kitimat swim club at Terrace meetBy Contributed THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

KITIMAT - The Kitimat Marlins had 26 swimmers competing in Terrace at the 2013 Northwest Regional Swimming Champion-ships.

Over 100 swimmers from teams in Ter-race, Smithers and Prince Rupert were also in attendance. With strong swims from all the Marlins swimmers and relay wins in the 10 and under and 11-12 girls the Marlins placed second behind the Prince Rupert Rapids in overall points at the meet. The Terrace Blue-backs followed in third, with the Bulkley-Val-ley Otters in fourth.

Leah Desousa (10) took her � rst ever gold medal in the 10 and under girls division with some excellent swims and 100 per cent per-sonal best times. Her biggest improvement was a 40 second drop in time in her 400 meter freestyle.

The Marlins have a strong group of 10 and under girls as Hannah Pearson (10) also with the Marlins took silver for overall points in the division as well. Her biggest improve-ment also came in the 400 freestyle, a 17 sec-ond drop.

In the 11-12 girls division Marlins swim-mer Alivia Salema (12) took the gold medal for overall points.

Her best swim of the meet came in the 200 breaststroke, a 14 second improvement, her third AAA Provincial qualifying time and a time that ranks her third in BC for 12 year old girls

In the 13-14 girls Marlins swimmer Kleanza Cathers (13) took the gold medal for overall points. Her best swim of the weekend came in the 100 freestyle, a two second drop

and only one second away from her second AAA Provincial qualifying standard.

In the 13-14 boys Marlins swimmer Brander Pacheco (14) swam to all personal best times.

He achieved his 4th AAA Provincial qualifying standard in the 400 IM with a 30 second improvement in the event. He also reached his � rst qualifying standard for the next age group up in the 200 butter� y with a 2 second improvement.

In the 15 and under girls category Mar-lins swimmer Robyn Alderman (16) took the Bronze medal for overall points. Her best swim came in the 800 meter freestyle where she dropped 50 seconds off her personal best time.

In the 15 and over boys category Kyler Cordeiro (17) battled sickness and some very tough competition to take the gold. His best swim came in the 100 breaststroke, a personal best time.

Raychel Davies (12) and Morgan Win-terburn (12) became the Marlins newest AA Provincial quali� ers. Davies quali� ed in the 400 and 800 freestyle and 200 butter� y while Winterburn quali� ed in the 200 backstroke. They will now both be attending AA sc (25 meter pool) Provincial Championships in Surrrey in two weeks time.

The largest one swim improvement came from Ben Anker (14) who took off a whop-ping one minute and 18 seconds off his 800 meter freestyle time.

Also of note, besides Desousa and Pa-checo there were three other swimmers that achieved 100 per cent personal best times in all seven of their races. They were Madisen Hauki (12), Madisen Szmata (11), and Nolan Striker (12).

Young entrepreneur strikes right cord with inventionBy Martina PerryTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - Prince Rupert’s Lu-cas Statham, a grade 12 student at Charles Hays Secondary School (CHSS), has been gain-ing recognition in the business community for his creation of a para cord bracelet.

Statham says a friend inspired him to create a bracelet wo-ven out of para cord. The special cord is used by the military to string parachutes, and can hold up to 550 pounds be-fore breaking. Each para cord bracelet is made of 10 feet of continuous rope that can be unwo-ven if needed. All para cord bracelets are hand woven and made in the customer’s choice of co-lour.

Statham says the bracelet is perfect for anyone who participates in backwood activities.

“If you’re out in the woods it can be used in any situation where you need rope,” Statham ex-plained.

Statham introduced his company, Omni-cord Products, in Oc-tober while he was en-rolled in the Aboriginal Youth Entrepreneurship Program at CHSS. The course is part of Paul Martin’s Aboriginal Ed-ucation Initiative that teaches students how to create a business, from

the business concept, to planning it, down to the production and market-ing of company prod-ucts.

According to Sta-tham, the most impor-tant thing the Aborigi-nal Entrepreneurship Program taught him is if his company grows the product’s quality should always stay at the same standard so customers continue to come back.

Statham’s efforts were recognized by his entrepreneur class teacher, who suggested him for the Prince Ru-pert and District Cham-ber of Commerce Rising Star Program that started in the fall. The Rising Stars program is a men-torship project that pairs students from Northwest Community College with members of the lo-cal business community, with Statham being the � rst high school student to take part in the pro-gram.

“It was a great feel-ing to have my teacher Ms. Murray recognize that I had the initiative and would be able to participate with college students,” he said.

Statham was part-nered up with Michael Gurney from the Prince Rupert Port Authority, who also enjoys spend-ing time in the outdoors and was naturally in-trigued by the bracelet.

“There’s other plac-es around the world you

can buy bracelets made of para cord, but Luc identi� ed a local need for such a product… The way he’s marketing it is unique. It’s not just a good looking bracelet, it’s a bracelet that could save your life,” he said.

“Entrepreneurship and initiative are two of the de� ning characteris-tics of the business com-munity here in Prince Rupert. It’s exciting to see young people like Luc step up to the plate, seize the opportunity, then be recognized for

it,” Gurney said. Although Statham’s

invention had already gained interest in Prince Rupert through word of mouth, Statham was able to launch his own website for Omnicord Products, www.omni-products.com, with the help of his mentor. Peo-ple can order the brace-let by contacting Sta-tham through the e-mail address listed on the site.

While being excited for all the opportunities he has been able to take advantage of, Statham

also believes his fellow Youth Entrepreneurship classmates deserve rec-ognition.

“There’s going to be quite a few new small businesses in Prince Ru-pert, which will be excit-ing to see,” he said.

It’s more than a pipeline.

Tankers will reduce speeds in the channels…Tankers travel slowly, but to make sure that marine species and their habitats are respected, tankers will be required to reduce speed as they pass through certain sections of the channels. Even their escort tugboats will have quieter engines to reduce underwater noise.

Additional radar and navigational aids will improve safety for all vessels…For increased safety and sure guidance, additional radar systems and navigational

aids, such as beacons, buoys and lights, will be installed throughout the routes. This will not

only improve safety for tankers, but for all marine traffi c on the north coast.

Discover more about our rigorous marine safety plan and join the conversation at marine.northerngateway.ca.

Although tankers have been safely navigating the north coast and its channels for decades, marine safety remains a top priority for British Columbians. We have been planning the Northern Gateway Project for over a decade, with a particular focus on protecting the environment. We have added specifi c safety requirements to our marine operations plan to help

make the waters of the north coast safer not just for tankers serving the project, but for all marine vessels.

Qualifi ed BC Coast Pilots will board and guide all tankers… To prevent spills, all tankers

serving the project will be modern and double-hulled, and will be vetted

by independent, third party agencies before entering Canadian waters.

Once strict safety and environmental standards

are met, they will be guided through the Douglas and Principe Channels by qualifi ed BC Coast Pilots.

Powerful tugboats will escort tankers…Tugboats have been shown to signifi cantly reduce tanker incidents worldwide. Powerful tugboats that have

been specially commissioned for Northern Gateway will assist in the

safe arrival and departure of tankers. All tankers will be attended by a close escort tug. In the channels, laden tankers will have two tugs–one tethered at all times. These tugboats will

have emergency response equipment on board and will be capable of assisting any marine vessel.
