Players question oil, gas sponsorshipsBy Shaun ThomasTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - The three-time defending All Native Bas-ketball Tournament Seniors Di-vision champions, the Skidegate Saints, are calling for an end to oil and gas industry support of the event which they say is com-promising the overall tournament experience.

In a letter dated Jan. 21 and signed by 14 members of the team, the Saints call on the tour-nament committee to reject “compromising” sponsorship from companies planning to ex-port oil or liquefied natural gas from the North Coast — includ-ing current sponsors BG Cana-da, Pacific NorthWest LNG and Aurora LNG — as well as those

planning to construct pipelines to carry the product to the ter-minal, such as current sponsor TransCanada. There are no com-panies associated with oil move-ment sponsoring this year’s tour-nament.

The Saints, who will look for their fourth straight title this week, claim the presence this sponsorship provides has ruined some of the enjoyment of years past.

“Looking back at photos and memories from last year, we can’t help but be saddened by the propaganda of the oil and gas in-dustry littered throughout the civic centre,” wrote the team.

“These great memories are tainted with the sponsorship signs and imply an acceptance of the industry by all participants

and communities,” wrote the team.

“The co-opting of the All Na-tive Basketball Tournament by the oil and gas industry is an at-tempt to gain a social licence for their ill-conceived projects and is yet another chapter in this con-tinual assault on our culture and way of life ... we are in opposi-tion to the fracked liquefied nat-ural gas and oil projects that are being proposed and if playing in the tournament is associated with these projects, then we will have to consider not attending the tournament in the future.”

Part of the expenses incurred by the tournament come from a per diem paid to players and coaches still competing, a num-ber that reached $45,000 in 2013, but the Saints say that is an ex-

pense they could do without. “We are not there for the fan-

cy prizes or per diem, but for the pride of representing our nation,” the team wrote.

When contacted by Black Press, 2014 Best Defensive Play-er Jason Alsop said the team has not yet had a response from the tournament committee. Howev-er, he had nothing further to say on the matter.

“I think the letter speaks for itself and we have nothing else to add,” he said.

All Native Basketball Tour-nament president Peter Haugan declined to comment on the letter or the request of the Saints to for-go sponsorship from oil and gas companies, but noted the tourna-ment has turned down oil-related sponsorship in the past.

The regular broadcasting camera for Kitimat council meetings remains bagged during a meeting on February 2.

Kitimat boostscommunicationsBy Cameron OrrTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

KITIMAT - A dated communications system at the District of Kitimat offices will be updated which will pave the way for smoother live broad-casts.

That’s the hope with a budget approval total-ling $61,850 which will fix the town’s telephone system and replace the video system in the council chambers at the Northwest Community College campus.

Basically the Dis-trict’s information sys-tems coordinator plans to install a computer at the town’s offices that will provide a broadcast feed both to Citywest and to the Internet for live-streaming and ar-chiving.

The work, howev-er, ties in to the greater plans of fixing phone lines, and installing a wireless link from the college campus council chambers to the town offices at City Centre Mall.

As the IT coordina-tor Paul Mitchell says in his report, the city of-fices run on an Internet

package that is inferior to many homes in Kiti-mat.

That is while sup-porting 84 computers and 12 servers.

The town has found they can keep their same rates with Telus if they upgrade to business plans, but they’ll have to upgrade their sys-tem, which has little ca-pacity for any new lines or phone services like voicemails.

Meanwhile their improved Internet will hopefully lead to a more reliable television broad-cast. As it is the District can’t effectively solve the issues as it seems the feed going to Citywest for the broadcast is fine as it leaves Kitimat.

New cameras and a new system at the town offices will help the town track the broadcast better, as well as provide an Internet broadcast which will simultane-ously archive the meet-ings for future viewings on the Internet.

Given the low reli-ability of the system in place councillors were eager to find solutions to the broadcast and so to be in touch with voters.

Tire gets looseand hits vehiclesNEW HAZELTON - New Hazelton RCMP respond-ed to 79 calls during the week of January 29-Febru-ary 4.

January 29 - At 1:30 pm, police attended a col-lision near the Hagwilget Bridge on Hwy 62. A ve-hicle had been crossing the bridge when its left rear tire disconnected from the axle. The loose tire then struck two other vehicles causing minor damage.

January 30 - At 6:50 pm, police were called to attend a residence on the 4900 block of 7 Ave in New Hazelton. Suspect(s) entered the home through a broken rear window. Some low value items were stolen.

February 2 - At 12:26 pm, RCMP received a call concerning a hit and run collision from January 31. A gray Ford F150 was parked in the parking lot of the Kispiox Community Hall during the evening. A second vehicle struck the passenger side rear door and quarter panel causing minor damage.

New Hazelton RCMP are happy to announce the annual RCMP Junior Youth Academy on March 7, 2015 at the Gitwangak Community Hall between 9 am and 3 pm. Any and all youths aged 5-12 are invited to attend to learn about policing duties and training. Lunch will be provided.

Nasty phone callTERRACE - Terrace RCMP report a woman re-ceived multiple phone calls from an unknown num-ber. She eventually spoke with a man who had an ac-cent and wanted the PC code from her computer.

The woman doesn’t own a computer, said po-lice, and the man uttered a threat as the conversation turned nasty.

Police talked about safety measures with the woman.

Teen shot dead in Terrace, B.C.TERRACE - A teen is in custo-dy after another teen died from a gunshot wound Feb. 9.

Police were called to a resi-dence on Molitor Street where they found a 15-year-old youth suffering from a gunshot wound

around 10 p.m. Feb. 9, reported Terrace RCMP Feb. 10.

The youth was transported by BC Ambulance to Mills Memo-rial Hospital where he later suc-cumbed to his injury, said police.

A 16-year-old Terrace youth,

Brain leaving job to focus on duties as Prince Rupert mayorBy Shaun ThomasTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - Prince Ru-pert Mayor Lee Brain has resigned from his position with the Prince Rupert School District and will be turning his full attention to his role at city hall.

“I’ve been doing full-time may-or’s work at the moment and every day have been doing work with the school district. What would hap-pen is I would go to work, but then

be pulled out for city business and I didn’t feel this was fair to my em-ployer,” Brain said, noting he is done with his current job at the end of this month.

“I’m doing it because it needs to be done ... we have so much go-ing on in town that for us to hit the mark we could be hitting, I need to be available in a full-time capac-ity.”

Brain gave his notice on Feb. 1, shortly after the idea of making the position full-time came up at a

meeting of council, but the mayor said that had no impact on his de-cision.

“Regardless of what council

decides I am going to do this be-cause I am passionate about the po-sition and I am having fun doing it,” he said.

“This isn’t about getting more money for the job. I knew what I was getting into and I knew it was going to be a lot of work ... I can get by on the wage the mayor’s po-sition pays now.”

The idea of changing the may-or’s pay to reflect the full-time na-ture of the job was brought up on Jan. 12 by Coun. Barry Cunning-

ham, but tabled until budget dis-cussions take place later this year.

“I believe right now we have too much going on so the may-or should be here a little more than two or three days a week and working on weekends when other people aren’t available ... In the last month and a half so much has changed and so much more is com-ing at city hall and city council that I really think these things have to be addressed,” said Cunningham at the time.

“I’m doing it because it needs to be done.”

KITIMAT — The Kitimat Fire Department didn’t have the final figures but estimate that between 160 and 180 centimeters fell on Kitimat during the now infamous winter storm from February 5 to 9. The Family Day Weekend Blizzard, if we’ll call it that, ground Kitimat to a halt with vehicles stuck in roadways as snow continued to fall, and had snow clearing crews working constantly to get things going. The power was also out a significant portion of the weekend and Kitamaat Village was evacuated for a short while due to lack of power.

The Coastal Training Centre would like to invite any person that is interested in taking Trades Training to att end our Trades Training Informati on Sessions. The sessions will take place at the Coastal Training Centre, 501 Dunsmuir Street, (old Islander Hall) every Monday and Wednesday throughout the months of February and March, 2015 from 10:00 am to Noon.

The sessions will include discussions on a variety of trades and the skills and training needed to become quali ed to perform a speci c trade. The sessions will also include an opportunity for parti cipants to log onto the ITABC website and make a selecti on of a trade that interests them and take an assessment test to determine their readiness to become an apprenti ce in that trade.

If you are interested, please call 250.627.8822 and leave your name and phone number with the Recepti onist or on the answering machine. As we have limited seati ng in the classroom, we will get back to you with informati on on the date of the session you can att end.

Pipeline builder on taskto meet gov’t conditionsBy Margaret SpeirsTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

TERRACE - Pipe-line builder TransCan-ada continues to work through the 32 condi-tions it needs to meet to gain the full provincial go ahead for a natural gas pipeline to feed a planned lique� ed natu-ral gas plant at Kitimat, one of its vice presidents told a Kitimat-Stikine regional district session here Jan. 30.

The Coastal Gas-Link line, to be 48 inch-es in diameter to provide gas for the planned LNG Canada plant at Kitimat, was approved by the province late last year but � rst needs to meet conditions as speci� c as employee behaviour, Bruce Wells said.

“The 32 conditions hold our feet to the � re,” he said.

Clearing work along the 415-mile route from northeastern B.C. to Kitimat has not started and won’t start until the customer, LNG Canada, � rst receives its own en-vironmental approval and then decides if the project will go ahead.

When it comes to employee behaviour, Wells said workers on construction camps will be subject to a one-strike rule when it comes to narcotics, meaning if

they are caught with drugs, they’ll be � red.

Workers can drink but if their behaviour gets out of hand, causes � ghts, or involves ha-rassment, they’re � red, he added.

It may sound harsh but the people who come to these work camps don’t want to be hassled and want a stable, safe place to be, said Wells.

Other work ongoing includes negotiations with the Kitselas First Nations for a bene� ts agreement, Wells added.

Telegraph Creek di-

rector Dave Brockle-bank did ask what would be done with trees that were removed during clearing, citing the burn-ing of usable trees that happened on the North-west Transmission Line.

Wells said trees that can be salvaged will be salvaged unless it would cause environmental damage. He added that every kilometre of the route would be assessed for what to do with trees.

Terrace rural area director Jessica McCal-lum-Miller asked about earthquake training for

workers since the pipe-line would be next to a fault line.

Wells said the only place where that was found to be a potential problem was closer to Prince George and that in our area, the fault lines were very deep and not in need of mitiga-tion.

In general, the pipe-line is resilient and mal-leable to an earthquake, he added. Field work planned for this year takes in � nding loca-tions of useful construc-tion material.

Pipeline route now longerthan it was first estimatedTERRACE - The company that would build the natural gas pipe-line to a planned lique� ed natural gas (LNG) plant at Prince Rupert is still working on a � nal cost af-ter lengthening the route.

First estimated at approxi-mately 730 kilometres, the Prince Rupert Gas Transmission project is now to be 900 kilometres long, connecting gas � elds in northeast-ern B.C. via a single 48-inch di-ameter pipe to the Paci� c North-West LNG project on Lelu Island near Prince Rupert.

For now builder TransCanada is sticking to the $5 billion target � gure set out in 2013 when the route was to be 730 kilometres.

“We have not arrived at a � -nal cost for the project – beyond the original $5 billion estimate - as we continue to make small adjustments based on ongoing discussions with stakeholders,” said TransCanada of� cial Garry Bridgewater.

Some of the route changes,

making the pipeline longer, came fairly early on the in the planning when the company opted to avoid nature conservancies east and north of Prince Rupert.

One of those areas, the Khutzeymateen, contains a griz-zly bear sanctuary.

As a result, the pipeline will now be laid underwater beginning at Nass Bay on the north coast be-fore turning south to surface on Lelu Island.

Malaysian company Petronas, the majority owner of the Pacif-ic NorthWest LNG project, said pipeline construction costs were a factor when it decided late last year to delay a decision on pro-ceeding or not proceeding.

Bridgewater said it would be incorrect to assume that underwa-ter construction would necessar-ily add to construction costs.

“There are many factors to consider when laying pipe – ter-rain, access, etc. We are continu-ing to re� ne our estimate of costs

prior to the � nal investment deci-sion by our customer. We won’t know how � nal costs will play out until we conclude discus-sions with aboriginal groups and the various stakeholders along the route,” he said.

The company also chose a route on the north side of the Kispiox Valley in the Hazeltons after its � rst choice, a route on the southside of the valley, was op-posed by residents.

Both TransCanada and the provincial government have signed agreements with the Nisga’a Lisims Government providing cash and other bene-� ts to allow the pipeline to cross through Nisga’a Lands.

One of the provisions of the agreement between TransCanada and the Nisga’a is an option for the Nisga’a to take gas from the pipeline should their plans for a LNG plant solidify. That supply option has not affected the proj-ect’s costs, said Bridgewater.

Relief coming for rich, poor in B.C. budgetBy Tom FletcherTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

VICTORIA - B.C. will likely be the only prov-ince in Canada to report a balanced budget for the current year and project surpluses for the next three years, Finance Minister Mike de Jong says.

In a briefing for reporters on what to expect when the annual budget is presented Feb. 17, de Jong said the surplus for the current year will be larger than the $444 million forecast in No-vember. Corporate and personal income tax has been stronger than expected, but there is no cer-tainty that will continue into the new fiscal year that begins April 1.

The second straight surplus after billions in deficits the previous four years will be used to pay down debt, but there is some room for help-ing poorer people, de Jong said. He hinted that this may include a change to the long-standing practice of deducting spousal child support pay-ments from social assistance and disability pay-ments to single parents.

“There are some areas where we believe there have been pressures on the programming side,” de Jong said. “We have a little more abil-ity to deal with them and relieve some of that

pressure, to assist people in greatest need.”NDP house leader Mike Farnworth said he

is hopeful the child support clawback policy will be changed after more than a year of protest by the opposition. And he said the government isn’t telling the whole story about balancing the budget using “tax increases by another name.

“You’re going to see higher Medical Ser-vices Plan premiums, higher ICBC rates, we’re already seeing higher fees for camping,” Farn-worth said.

The next budget will also provide tax relief for the wealthiest B.C. residents, as a two-year increase on incomes more than $150,000 a year comes to an end. De Jong imposed the 2.1 per cent hike in his pre-election budget in 2013, after then-NDP leader Adrian Dix promised a similar move to help balance the books.

The recent plunge in oil prices has had a major impact on revenues to Alberta, Saskatch-ewan and Newfoundland, but B.C. has largely escaped that due to continued gas production but little oil from B.C. petroleum fields.

De Jong emphasized that with the continued glut of shale gas produced across North Amer-ica, it remains an urgent priority to develop liq-uefied natural gas exports to Asia before B.C. revenues fall further for lack of sales.

Why Does LNG Matter to Me?New local jobs will give young people and future generations more opportunities to stay in northern BC instead of having to move away to find good jobs.

JOBS AND TRAININGWe’re committed to hiring as many local workers as possible for construction and operations jobs at our facility. To support this important goal, we are developing training programs for local workers interested in working in the LNG sector. Pacific NorthWest LNG will create new vendor opportunities for businesses and contractors in the northwest.

We will be posting more details of these programs, including how to apply, on our website www.PacificNorthWestLNG.com in the near future.

A NEW OPPORTUNITY FOR NORTHERN BC

Key Facts about Pacific NorthWest LNGWHAT IS LNG?LNG is short for “liquefied natural gas” – which is natural gas that has been chilled to -162 degrees Celsius, converting it from gas to a liquid.

WHAT’S NEEDED FOR THE PROJECT?Natural gas produced in northeast BC would be transported to our proposed facility in Port Edward by the Prince Rupert Gas Transmission Pipeline. The pipeline would carry natural gas in its vapour state, which would not cover or coat surfaces if a pipeline event occurred.

WHY IS BC EXPORTING NATURAL GAS TO ASIA?The demand for energy is increasing, and natural gas is a cleaner fuel source than other fossil fuels. Liquefying natural gas allows us to access new markets for BC-produced natural gas, creating and protecting jobs for BC families.

Government soft pedals LNGin 2015 speech from the throneBy Tom FletcherTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

VICTORIA - The B.C. government presented a cautious outlook for 2015 with its speech from the throne Tues-day, predicting a rural revival through indus-trial growth while low-ering earlier aggressive expectations for mining and natural gas exports.

Read by Lieuten-ant Governor Judith Guichon to begin the spring legislature ses-sion, the speech an-nounced the formation of a rural advisory com-

mittee to “provide inde-pendent and impartial advice on helping rural B.C. increase opportuni-ties, manage growth and meet its full potential in communities big and small.”

As the government continues to await in-vestment decisions for lique� ed natural gas fa-cilities, the speech not-ed that LNG “could cre-ate 100,000 jobs and the revenues to elimi-nate our debt,” adding that exports are needed to maintain a gas indus-try that already employs 13,000 people.

The speech referred to � ve new mines open-ing since 2011, but avoided mention of northeast coal mines that have closed due to low commodity prices that also threaten the contin-ued operation of metal mines in B.C.

Much of the speech touts earlier achieve-ments, including the carbon tax on fuels and a settlement with B.C. public school teachers after a bitter strike last year. The government con� rmed it is about to table a third straight bal-anced budget on Feb. 17,

and hinted at new spend-ing aimed at expanding the economy.

“This year in trans-portation, your govern-ment is working in part-nership with Alberta and Saskatchewan through the New West Partner-ship to add capacity and resolve bottlenecks to strengthen our Asia-Paci� c gateway,” the speech said.

The government also plans a new “medal of good citizenship” to recognize those who do-nate their time and mon-ey to improve their com-munities.

Family seeks tips on arsonBy Shaun ThomasTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - On the 25th anniversary of a Prince Rupert fire that killed four members of her family, Lorraine Rochon joined Superintendent Ward Lymburner at B.C. RCMP headquarters in Surrey to appeal to the province for help in finding closure.

“Our family’s life changed forever that day. Birthdays, holi-days and milestones are a time for remembrance not for celebra-tion. We are always left wonder-ing why ... it’s really hard to go on day-by-day when you think about it or see other families celebrating and wondering why that can’t be your family,” she said of the Feb. 5, 1990 fire that claimed the life of her mother Helga, sisters Sherri and Pauline and seven-month-old niece Kimberly.

“I have a son of my own and it breaks my heart. He doesn’t have a grandmother and there are aunts and a cousin he will never know. You always want to know why this happened and who is respon-sible. It never goes away and is with you 24/7.”

Noting RCMP are confident the fire that claimed the lives of the Rochon family members was a second attempt at arson follow-ing an earlier unsuccessful at-tempt in the same time period, Su-perintendent Lymburner said the case is still very much top of mind for RCMP.

“We don’t rest when inves-tigations take this long. It makes it tough, but we don’t close the door. We want closure for Lor-

raine and the family,” he said, not-ing he remains optimistic given an unsolved murder dating back four decades was recently solved.

Both Rochon and Lymburner asked people with any informa-tion to come forward, whether they feel it is important or not.

“I am begging and plead-ing that anyone with informa-tion about this unsolved ho-micide, no matter how small, contact the RCMP. Even if you don’t think it is relevant, it could

be,” said Rochon, who also took time to address the arsonist who sent the family a letter four years ago.

“To the person responsible, know we will never give up. If you didn’t intend for anyone to die, know that only the truth will set you free.”

Anyone with information is asked to contact the Prince Rupert RCMP at 250-627-0700 or anon-ymously call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Permit givenfor mill testat Red ChrisBy Josh MasseyTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

TERRACE - A mining company in the middle of responding to recommendations about how to make its tailings pond more secure has now started using the pond to test its milling machinery.

Amid controversy surrounding the Mount Pol-ley mine dam failure report released two weeks ago, mine owner Imperial Metals received a waste water discharge permit for its Red Chris gold and copper project located northeast of Terrace.

“Red Chris has received an interim approval to operate the TSF (Tailings Storage Facility) in order to test the mill but not to go into production,” said a statement from the Ministry of Energy and Mines.

The permit is effective from February through May, after which Red Chris “will have to apply to the Chief Inspector [of Mines] for approval and will have to show that the TSF has performed as designed.”

Initial operations of the mine, which was sched-uled to go into service last year, were on hold as the company � nanced a third party review of the tail-ings facility using a company chosen by the Tahltan Central Council which acts as the governing voice on Tahltan traditional territory.

The review, released in October 2014, was part of a joint management agreement signed between the Tahltan Central Council and Imperial Metals in August 2014 following the Mount Polley disaster which spilled 25 million cubic metres of toxic tail-ings � uid into Quesnel Lake in the Cariboo area.

The independent review noted that glacial till and sand underneath the proposed Red Chris tail-ings facility was a concern and that the foundation soils were “a major design issue.”

“This valley is underlain by over 90m of per-meable glacial � uvial sands and gravels with inter-layers of at least one glacial till unit,” said the Red Chris tailings review.

An investigation into the Mount Polley tailings facility failure released two weeks ago indicated that loose glacial till was a central reason for the breaking of that dam.

The mines ministry says it is satis� ed with the actions taken by Imperial Metals at Red Chris to mitigate the danger noted in the third party review and has granted the company a temporary ef� uent discharge permit so it can begin testing the mine’s mill which will process ore.

“Red Chris and their consultants have done ex-tensive review of their subsurface hydrogeology and have made adjustments as per third party re-view recommendations,” said the ministry state-ment.

According to ministry of� cial David Haslam, “this additional work has resulted in a better un-derstanding of the local and regional hydrogeology, however the basic conceptual model did not funda-mentally change.”

The tests being done between February and May are related to the mill which will crush up the rock in order to extract the copper and gold. The effec-tiveness of the tailings facility will also be moni-tored at this time, said the ministry.

In Loving Memory

Mary Emilie MatternFebruary 4, 1936 to February 15, 2014

Time does not heal the heartache,or stop a silent tear,

Nor take away the longing,of one we loved so dear.

Our lives go on without youbut things are not the same,

It’s hard to hide the heartachewhen someone speaks

your name.We think of you every day

and talk about you too,we have such precious memories

but we wish we still had you.They say its a beautiful journey,from the old world to the new,

someday we’ll make that journeywhich will lead us straight to you.And when we reach that Garden,

in which there is no pain,we’ll put our arms around you,

and never part again.

Forever in our hearts,Judy (Phil), Sharon, Edward (Kelly),

Geordie and families.

Mary Emilie MIn Loving Memory

It is with inconceivable sorrow that we announce the sudden passing of Tyler Francis Der who was tragically taken from us on February 5th, 2015 at the young age of 31. Devastatingly missed and loved more than he ever imagined by his mom Maureen Tighe, father Allan Der, stepfather Grant Oystensen and brother Brett Oystensen. Ty is survived by grandparents Louise Der, Christena Tighe, Ed Oystensen, loving aunts and uncles Christy, Mary, Cathy, Jeannie, Janet, Francis, Douglas, Hoi-Yin, Anne, Andrea, Penelope, Tobias, their spouses and many cousins. Also lovingly missed by his girlfriend Hailey Bjorndal. Ty and Hailey were embarking on ‘their new adventure’ together to Grand Prairie when the accident occurred.Ty was a true Rupert boy, affectionately known as “Der” to all his best friends, and never happier than when he was with them.Ty was a loving, gentle and kind person who was known by all for his unwavering loyalty to his friends, ‘his’ Baltimore Ravens and his massive infectious smile.A Celebration of Life for Ty will be held in the Convention Centre at Chances on Sunday February 15th from 2 - 5pm.

In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to “Tyler Der/Hailey Bjorndal Fund” at the Northern Savings Credit Union

- to help her on her way. Northern Savings Credit Union

Kitimat Atoms Reds go undefeatedContributed THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

KITIMAT - The Kitimat At-oms Sjitras Red team went 5-0 in an amazing weekend win at a tournament held in Terrace from January 23 to 25.

Kitimat rallied hard in their � rst game to beat Terrace Red 5-4, after being down 3-1 at the start.

Chase Pacheco, Chad Silve and Cory Mertin were notable scorers for that match, while Ayden Baldo took the Heart and Hustle Award.

Terrace Black faced Kiti-mat in the second game which ended in a lop-sided 15-3 win for Kitimat. Pacheco, Silve, Mertin, Baldo, and Camryn Ward and Evan Shelley were the scorers for this one, with Ward earning the Heart and Hustle award for the match.

The multi-coloured pa-rade continued with Terrace Green next up, with Kitimat dominating 10-0 for the game. Logan Tweedy had the shut-out, while game scorers were Pacheco, Silva, Makenna Vi-veiros and Mertin. Chad Silva took the Heart and Hustle.

Kitimat then went on to

make a dent in the Hazelton team, winning 17-0. Antho-ny Ingvallson took Heart and Hustle for the match.

Coach Donald Pacheco said the � fth and � nal game for the tournament, between Kiti-mat and Prince Rupert, was a bit chippy at the start but Kiti-mat capitalizing on three pow-er play goals meant a 7-2 win and � rst place in the tourna-ment. MVP was Chase Pache-co. Overall the kids played a great all weekend and coaches

Donald Pacheco, Rob Mertin and Andre Baldo credit the kids skating ability as the key.

“We keep our feet moving and never give up,” said Pa-checo via e-mail. “Scoring 54 goals and only allowing nine is quite the feat.”

Kitimat wasn’t through with winning and attended a six-team tournament in Hazel-ton on the January 31 and Feb-ruary 1 weekend.

Kitimat would end up win-ning all four of their matches

and winning � rst place in the tournament.

Kitimat began with a vic-tory over Terrace Green 4-2. It was a 16-0 loss for Hazelton against Kitimat in game two.

Kitimat was equally strong against Fraser Lake and won 13-0. That lead to game four against the Smithers Drillers.

Kitimat scored 20 seconds into the game on an Ayden Baldo wrist shot from the point and then 45 seconds later Evan Shelley scored. Kitimat never lost their lead and � nished 9-1.

Coaches Pacheco and Baldo had stressed to the kids that they needed a quick start in the � nals and the kids came out “with � re” said Pacheco. They only had 9 skaters on the weekend but the coaches say it was the skating that controlled every game.

“We set the pace every gam,” said Pacheco. “Our be-lief is skating is the number one skill needed to play hock-ey and we continue to teach all the technical skills needed at every practice. This is a special group of kids we coach and its nice to see them get great re-sults in back-to-back week-ends.”

CONTRIBUTED / THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

The Kitimat Atoms Sjitras Red team after their big win.

Stewart back in the cage, already 2-0 By Kevin CampbellTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - It had been a year and a half since Shawn Stewart took on another amateur � ghter – ‘ammys’ they call them – in his � rst ever formal mixed martial arts (MMA) bout, so he was under-standably was shaking like a leaf last week in Merritt before his second.

The Rupert resident had made a new year’s reso-lution to get in the ring more, and only a month into 2015, he got his � rst chance.

UCL – the Uni� ed Combat League – was hold-ing UCL 21 in Merritt, B.C. at the end of January and they said they’d be happy to host the tall, stringy 155-pound � ghter.

“He started messaging all these promoters and this one got back to us,” said his trainer and area coach Kelly McMahon.

“We had three weeks to get ready.”So the amateur � ghter, who boasted a short but

undefeated 1-0 record, trained in every sense of the word.

“At � rst I wasn’t really into it because I wanted to do a full � ght camp and make sure he was good to go and whatnot ... we started with sprint training,” said the trainer.

Stewart developed a chest cold midway through the three weeks he had available to him for training and even hyperextended his arm before the � ght.

But that didn’t deter him from gunning for his second win, determined to be against Bryan Janzen, an ammy neither McMahon nor Stewart knew any-thing about. But it’s not like Janzen, or the rest of the interior knew anything about Stewart either.

“There was a betting site for the � ghts ... and they had 93 per cent of people picking the other guy to win because we were from Prince Rupert. Nobody knows who we are. They assume that we’re not any good,” said McMahon.

That 93 per cent and anyone else underestimat-ing Stewart quickly realized their mistake. In 24 sec-onds to be exact.

That’s how long it took Stewart to take down Janzen in the nine minute-alloted bout via guillotine choke.

“[Janzen and I] came out and our plan was to cir-cle him and get him to our corner so we could have our coaches talk in my ear instead of his coaches tell-ing him what to do,” said Stewart.

“So we circled and he threw a couple punches and he shot for the takedown and I got an underhook ... he got me in his corner and I could hear his coach-es talking to him and he kept on trying to � nish the takedown and I just slipped my arm under [his neck for] a guillotine choke.”

Stewart’s split-second decision to go for the choke won him the � ght in 24 seconds as Janzen sputtered for air while trying to force Stewart to the ground.

“As [Janzen] was driving him back, he lift-ed his head and that was that. And Shawn’s guillo-tine is a very powerful guillotine because his arms are so long that we actually call it the ‘V-itine’ be-cause for most people the arm just crosses the neck but Shawn’s arms are so long he can push that choke up so that it pinches the veins on both sides [of the neck],” said McMahon.

And just like that, Stewart was 2-0, with more � ghts on his horizon.

TERRACE RIVER KINGS PHOTO / THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

TERRACE - For the second time in the team’s history, the Terrace River Kings are going to the CIHL champi-onship � nals. The Kings, down 1-0 to the Smithers Steelheads in the series, took two decisive games at home last weekend to claim the western division title. Fans that braved the snow for Saturday night’s game were treated to a 5-3 Kings win, forcing game three on Sunday. The Kings took that game 4-3 and are now looking to this weekend, where they will face off against the Williams Lake Stampeders, who took the eastern division series over the Ques-nel Kangaroos 2-1 with two back-to-back wins over the weekend. First game in the series is in Terrace, tomorrow, Feb. 14 – doors at 7 p.m., puck drops at 8 p.m.
