No oil in LNG pipelines, says gov’t By Josh MasseyTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

TERRACE - Those critical of the planned LNG industry have one less argument in their toolbox.

Or so it would seem now that the BC government has intro-duced a new regulation to pre-vent LNG pipelines from being converted for oil transport, a con-cern expressed by several groups since 2013.

A release from the Minis-try of Natural Gas Development says the new regulation will ease worries “expressed during envi-ronmental assessments and by First Nations about the long-term pipeline use.”

Diluted bitumen is consid-

ered more hazardous in the case of a spill than gas which dispers-es into the air and some feared that acceptance of gas pipelines could be parlayed into a thumbs up to bitumen pipelines down the road.

Attached to the Oil and Gas Activities Act, the new regulation “prohibits the BC Oil and Gas Commission from permitting any conversion of a natural gas pipe-line supplying an LNG facility,” says the government release.

But concerned groups say this new regulation falls short. A more permanent measure would be to actually legislate the new rule within the Oil and Gas Ac-tivities Act, says Greg Knox of SkeenaWild Conservation Trust.

Knox points to a May 2014 letter from Natural Gas Devel-opment Minister Rich Coleman saying the government was ex-amining this option. Addressed to the Of� ce of the Wet’suwet’en First Nation, Coleman wrote that “we are working on poten-tial preferred legal mechanism, including through legislation, to prohibit potential pipeline con-versions.”

Knox said First Nations and organizations such as his see the new regulation as backing down from stronger, longer term mea-sures hinted at in the letter. He said government should make the regulation law if it wants to fully ease the concerns of those wor-ried about oil coming through the

lines in the long term.“It was easy for the govern-

ment to put in this regulation, therefore it is easy to undo,” said Knox.

“There are several natural gas pipelines in North America that have been converted to oil pipe-lines in the past so it is feasible and done sometimes,” said Knox. “We were concerned that if com-panies couldn’t get natural gas � owing through their lines that they might be looking to put bitu-men and oil through.”

The regulation applies to all six of the major pipelines pro-posed for transporting natural gas from shale deposits in the northeast to planned export facil-ities on the coast.

When Lorie and Walter bought their home in Port Alberni 13 years ago they slowly began renovating the unfinished basement to accommodate Walter’s changing needs as his muscular dystrophy advanced.

“The basement was a black hole when we moved in,” recalled Walter. “After 12 years of skimping and saving, we made the downstairs completely wheelchair accessible, except for the bathroom. It was way too small. I could only stand for about a minute and a half without collapsing in the shower stall and I could no longer pull myself out of the tub in the upstairs’ bathroom, even with Lorie’s help.”

Through funding from BC Housing’s Home Adaptations for Independence (HAFI) program, Walter and Lorie were able to work with a contractor to transform the space. A wall was removed to make room for a wheel-in shower with benches, grab bars were installed, and the vanity and fixtures were relocated.

I just slide into the shower now,” said Walter. “I feel safer and no longer dread trying to wash myself. What was previously a dangerous chore for me is now a welcome treat.”

Walter and Lorie hope to spend the rest of their lives in their home.

The HAFI program provides financial assistance to help eligible low-income seniors and people with disabilities adapt their homes so they can continue to live independently.

Northwest property values up By Cameron Orr THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

KITIMAT - The assessed roll value of properties in Kitimat jumped substantially for the 2015 � gures.

BC Assessment revealed that among all classi� cations, Kiti-mat’s property values rose 34.76 per cent, from $1,467,317,000 to $1,977,342,000.

The residential roll speci� -cally in Kitimat jumped high-er, up 42.46 per cent, from $786,357,000, to $1,120,274,000.

The value of an average sin-gle family home in Kitimat went from $227,000 to $316,000

Kitimat actually only came in second place to communities with the largest roll increase over all classi� cations.

The District of Port Edward edged ahead of Kitimat’s 34.67 per cent increase, with a 26.61 per cent increase.

Still, their actual dollar amount isn’t as high, with their roll at just over $106 million. Kit-imat’s over $1.9 billion wins that race, and also tops out at the high-est value.

Terrace, by comparison, saw

it’s roll rise by 30.61 per cent. Their average assessed value for a single family home is $317,000, up from $244,000.

BC Assessment Deputy As-sessor Geoff Radtke said the as-sessed values are not decided on using speculation, so the prospect of major projects starting in 2015 didn’t weigh in to their account-ing.

What does is actual sales re-cords through the year.

“BC Assessment doesn’t val-ue properties based on specula-tion,” he said. “We actually re-view sales evidence.”

The results come from the value of properties based on the sale of similar properties around the valuation date of July 1, 2014.

District of Kitimat Treasur-er Steve Christiansen said that overall Kitimat will be ‘saved’ due to Terrace sharing a nearly as heavy rise. That’s because when it comes to regional taxes — such as school and hospital taxes — the communities most heavily burdened are ones with large as-sessed increases.

Kitimat took on the lion share of those taxes last year but now the burden can be more evenly

shared.Kitimat sets local property tax

rates, but also collect on behalf of the other taxing authorities.

Kitimat’s � at tax, which ac-counts for about 60 per cent of a tax bill, also helps even out any wild � uctuations, said Christian-sen.

Kitimat Council will be set-ting the next year’s tax rates later this year, but based on the previ-ously established � ve-year plan for the town, local property tax rates are likely to increase around three per cent.

“If we follow the pattern...then it would be a three per cent increase for 2015 for the general, municipal portion,” he said, add-ing other tax rates have not been set, so he does not know what the eventual total tax bill will be for residents.

Also, any potential increase or decrease to a tax bill will follow how much they deviate for the av-erage.

If a person’s home goes up over the 34 per cent average set by BC Assessment they might see a sharper bill increase, while those below the average could see a drop in the tax bill.

1-800-222-TIPS (8477)TERRACE • PRINCE RUPERT • KITIMAT

By Martina Perry THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - In the early morning hours of New Year’s, Prince Rupert RCMP responded to an assault that had occurred at a Hays Vale Drive residence.

When RCMP arrived at the scene on Jan. 1 at approximately 5:25 a.m. they were met by several occupants that had been suffering from the effects of what was be-lieved to be bear spray. One individual had also been shot, the first shooting case Prince Rupert RCMP say they have dealt with in more than seven years.

Witnesses told RCMP there had been a New Year’s Eve party taking place the pre-vious evening.

In the early morning, two suspects en-tered the home and bear sprayed the occu-pants inside and shot one person.

The victim of the shooting was trans-ported to Prince Rupert Regional Hospital to undergo treatment for a non-life threat-ening gunshot wound.

“Currently this is an active and unfold-ing investigation,” said Const. Matt Eric-son, spokesperson for the Prince Rupert RCMP.

“While we do not have any suspects in

custody, we are confident in stating that this was a targeted event, and there is no indica-tion that the public is at risk.”

As of Monday morning Prince Rupert RCMP were not providing any additional details on the incident, but stated as infor-mation becomes available police may up-date the community.

A suspect still had not been taken into custody on Monday.

Prince Rupert RCMP is asking anyone with information regarding the incident to contact the Prince Rupert RCMP Detach-ment at 250-627-0700 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

New Year’s Eve party ends in shooting

RCMP ‘hair straight back’ busy on Dec. 31TERRACE - Terrace RCMP were very busy New Year’s Eve of 2014. The 12 hour period from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. saw police re-sponding to approximately 33 calls – 11 people were lodged in Terrace cells, six of these people for intoxication.

“The combination of people celebrat-ing the holidays, excessive alcohol con-sumption, and ice rain on the highways kept us very busy responding to all man-ners of calls. We were prepared with extra members on shift, but nonetheless it was hair straight back for everyone all night,” says Cpl. Shawn McLaughlin, Non Com-missioned Officer in Charge of D Watch.

A blue 1998 Ford F150 truck was pulled over for going 147 km/hr in a 100 km/hr zone on Hwy 37 near Onion Lake. The 27-year-old driver was issued an ex-cessive speeding violation and the truck he was driving was impounded.

Domestic dispute. A 40-year-old man fled the scene but was located by police and

arrested for assault, breaching a condition of probation of not to be in contact with the woman, and obstructing a police officer. He was held for court. Checks determined that the woman was also breaching a condition of her probation of not to consume alcohol. The 37-year-old woman was arrested and held for court.

An intoxicated man yelled and intimi-dated a worker at the Damp Shelter on Sparks St. Police arrested the 52-year-old man. A blue 2000 Pontiac Montana slid off the road, down an embankment, and came to rest on the railroad tracks near the 100 km marker on Hwy 16 west. The 30-year-old driver escaped from the vehicle, which was then struck by a train that was unable to stop in time to avoid the collision. No in-juries.

Police responded to a call of a suicidal man. While investigating this complaint, a police officer was assaulted by a 40-year-old woman who was arrested. Charges are

being forwarded to Crown Counsel.A taxi driver was assaulted by a fare. A

group of taxi drivers apprehended the man and held him for police. Police arrested the intoxicated 24-year-old man. Under inves-tigation.

A brown 2001 GMC Jimmy lost con-trol, hit the ditch, and went down a steep embankment on Hwy 37 south of Lakelse Lake Rd. The 23-year-old driver was unin-jured.

A party with underage drinking was shut down on Laurel Ave.

Police observed a man walking down Lakelse Ave matching the description of a person just recently released from Prince George Regional Correction Centre on pro-bation conditions of adhering to a curfew. Checks were done. Investigation deter-mined that the man provided a false name to police and he was breaching his curfew condition. The man was arrested and held for court.

Kitselas ink LNG benefit agreementTERRACE - A major energy company may be delaying its decision on whether or not to spend billions on a lique� ed natural gas plant near Port Edward but that hasn’t stopped it from wrapping up business arrangements with local governments and First Nations.

The Kitselas First Nation and Paci� c NorthWest LNG an-nounced Dec. 22 an im-pact management ben-e� ts agreement term sheet has been signed.

It’s been described as an “integral step to-ward concluding nego-tiations and � nalizing an agreement between the two parties.”

“Our agreement with Paci� c NorthWest LNG addresses the en-vironmental and social safeguards we require in negotiations, as well as the delivery of econom-ic, employment and edu-cational bene� ts for our community,” said Kitse-las Chief Councillor Joe Bevan.

“These core compo-nents mean substantial bene� ts for our commu-nity – now and in years to come.”

Paci� c NorthWest LNG concluded nego-tiations for a term sheet with the Metlakatla First Nation last month and has also reached a taxa-tion agreement with Port Edward.

Paci� c NorthWest of� cial Krissy Van Loon anticipated the company signing up to six bene� ts agreements with First Nations who have inter-

ests in and around Lelu Island where the com-pany wants to build its LNG plant.

“The Kitselas First Nation was identi� ed as one of the First Nations with traditional � sh-ing access in the Skeena River and near the Skee-na estuary and it’s one of the groups we are work-ing closely with,” she said. There will be an-

nual payments made to the Kitselas, Van Loon added, as well as a pay-ment upon signing the term sheet.

The Kitselas have also agreed to provide a letter of support for the project which has drawn worries from environ-mental and other groups because of potential im-pacts on Skeena River � sh populations.

Paci� c NorthWest LNG, which is majority-owned by Petronas, the Malaysian state-owned energy giant, wants to build a LNG plant of two parts, each able to produce six million tonnes per annum of the super-cooled product.

A third part, also to produce six million tonnes per year, could also be built. A � nal in-

vestment decision had been expected by now but the company in early December 2014 said that decision was on hold.

Company of� cials were generally happy with taxation arrange-ments worked out with the provincial govern-ment but cited declining energy prices and con-struction costs as reasons to delay its decision.

Fantasic 4 win Winter Solstice tournamentBy Kevin CampbellTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - While most tend to count the days until sum-mer’s long days and bright eve-nings, a little darkness was a wel-coming sign for athletes across Prince Rupert on Dec. 21.

Volleyball was the name of the game for teens and adults alike for the 2014 Winter Solstice 4-on-4 Charity Tournament, host-ed by Charles Hays Secondary School.

Thirteen teams took part with 10 entering the adult division and three comprising the juniors.

The double elimination format saw the junior team of Medalana Jardim, Brittany Waite, Brooke An-dreesen, Tanveen Sahdra and Har-

jyot Sidhu defeat Liam McChesney, Daniel Cachero, Henry Vu and Seji Sahdra 25-17, 18-25, 15-12.

After 23 matches between the 10 adult teams, the � nalists of Fan-tastic 4 and Team SensAsians... plus Kyle battled it out for volleyball su-premacy.

Fantastic 4’s Steven Le, Nan-cy Le, Rampi Gill and Justin Fon-taine defeated SensAsians, consist-ing of Jade Rowse, Chris Stokes, Kyle McWilliams and Dave Pham, 10-25, 25-22, 15-12 in a nail-biting contest.

“Thank you to all who partici-pated,” said organizer Jacqueline Jackson.

The $5 entry fees and food do-nations were given to the Salvation Army with Capt. Gary Sheils on hand to accept the donations.


The 2014 Winter Solstice junior division winners presented Capt. Gary Sheils of the Prince Rupert Salvation army with a cheque and food col-lected at the event. Pictured from left to right is Medalana Jardim and Brittany Waite, back, and Brooke Andreesen and Tanveen Sahdra in front.

Examples of when not to call a 9-1-1 dispatcher givenBy Jeff NagelTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

VICTORIA - Do not call 911 because your slice of pizza has gone stale.

Nor is it an emer-gency if Wi-Fi at the cof-fee shop isn’t working or you’ve lost your glasses.

Those are some of the most bizarrely inap-propriate 911 calls made in B.C. in 2014, accord-ing to a top 10 list re-leased by E-Comm, southwest B.C.’s emer-gency communications centre.

Besides complaining about the quality of take-out food, many bozo 911 callers appear to think emergency dispatchers can double as an infor-mation service, wanting to know everything from whether it’s a stat holi-day to the phone num-bers for taxis or travel agents.

E-Comm spokesper-son Jody Robertson said people who make “nui-sance calls” to 911 tie up valuable resources for people with real life-and-death emergencies, potentially putting lives at risk.

“These kinds of calls come in every day pretty much all day long,” she said.

There isn’t an accu-rate count of how many there are, but Robertson said it’s “way too many.”

Nor can E-Comm staff instantly disconnect those calls – they have to be alert to the possibility that a caller feels threat-ened by someone near-by and is concocting a cover story so it doesn’t seem like they’ve dialed 911.

The same sorts of scenarios – is the caller silent because of a near-by assailant or because they’ve had a heart at-tack – are on the minds of E-Comm staff when they get a pocket-dialed call or an accidental call where the caller hangs up.

Call-takers must phone back to make sure the person is okay, and if the call came from a landline and they can’t be reached, police are dispatched.

“Those kinds of calls can chew up a lot of re-sources unnecessarily.”

The number of pocket-dialed 911 calls is running at about 70,000 a year, while an-other 30,000 are acci-dental calls where the caller hangs up without explaining to staff.

She said the most

frequent “head-scratch-er” calls are ones seeking basic informa-tion, adding calls to re-port or seek information about power outages are a major recurring prob-lem.

True emergencies are police, � re or medi-cal situations that require immediate action be-cause someone’s health, safety or property is in jeopardy or a crime is in progress.

Now, the top list of reasons to not call 911:

1. Wi-Fi at a local coffee shop isn’t work-ing

2. “What’s the � ne for jay walking?”

3. Pizza not fresh;

wants a replacement slice

4. “What’s the num-ber for my travel agen-cy?”

5. Caller phoned 9-1-1 to ask for a taxi re-ferral

6. “Is today a stat holiday?”

7. Food they ordered is cold

8. Wants help � nding lost glasses

9. Home Internet is not working


Search called offTERRACE - RCMP called off the search for a woman missing on a lake north of Terrace, B.C. Dec. 24 after three days of searching.

"We have exhausted all search options," said Terrace RCMP Constable Angela Rabut of a search of Kalum Lake which began after the woman, 43, was reported missing Dec. 21.

The report came in at 9 p.m. that day and police then found the woman's truck that evening, parked at the Kalum Lake boat launch.

“Search and rescue found her canoe on Kalum Lake in the early hours of the morn-ing of Dec. 22,” said Rabut.

Search efforts included using a local helicopter, a po-lice service dog and members of Terrace Search and Res-cue.

Aboriginal court advocate honouredTERRACE - A local lawyer has been recog-nized with the Queen’s Counsel (Q.C.) designa-tion.

Karen Lisa Whon-nock, a member of the Wet’suwet’en First Na-tion, is a sole practitio-ner and family mediator with Whonnock Law Firm, where her speci� c interests include gender and racial issues, and promoting Aboriginal courts in B.C., accord-ing to a government press release.

Her current position is as Directors counsel for the Ministry of Chil-dren and Family Devel-opment, and Whonnock has given several talks in the Northwest region,

including in Terrace several times, about the need for an Aboriginal Court.

The Q.C. designa-tion is an honour con-ferred annually on members of the legal profession to recognize exceptional merit and contribution.

In addition, recipi-ents must have been members of the B.C. bar for at least � ve years.

The appointments were made by cabinet through an order-in-council.

Whonnock has served on the executive of the Canadian Bar As-sociation of BC Aborig-inal lawyers forum, and on the executive of the

Canadian Bar Associa-tion national Aboriginal law committee.

She was an instruc-tor at Northwest Indian College in Bellingham, Washington and is a former instructor at the Justice Institute of BC.

Among the 32 law-yers who were given the Q.C. designation are those who have prose-cuted high-pro� le crim-inal cases, family, civ-il and commercial law cases.

Many of the ap-pointees have also ad-vocated for seniors and the disabled, and have given back to their com-munities through a wide variety of charitable causes.


Lawyer Karen Whonnock, who has advocated for an aboriginal court here, has been honoured by the province.

BULLETIN BOARD


This month the Honourable Leona Aglukkaq, Canadian Minister for the Environment, approved Seabridge Gold’s KSM Project, a gold-copper-silver-molybdenum mine located 65 kilometres northwest of Stewart, BC. The approval was granted after the Canadian En-vironmental Assessment Agency’s (CEAA) com-prehensive science-based review determined that, through mitigation measures and the con-ditions of the environmental assessment, no signifi cant adverse effects are expected. This decision is consistent with the Province of B.C’s approval, which was received on July 30, 2014.“We are very pleased,” said Brent Murphy, Sea-bridge Vice President of Environmental Affairs. “By issuing the certifi cate, Minister Aglukkaq and the Government of Canada have recognized that KSM is a well-designed, environmentally responsible project which is technically feasible and offers signifi cant economic benefi ts to both British Columbia and Canada. There is still much road left to travel before construction, but this is a big milestone.”

The process of receiving approval has taken more than seven years, with the environmentalassessment document totalling more than 35,000 pages. Along the way, Seabridge has held dozens of meetings with the Nisga’a Nation, First Nations, local communities and government of-fi cials. The design of the KSM facility, created by hundreds of people from more than 20 world-class fi rms, has been updated based on input from local (and international) citizens, govern-ment regulators, as well as from Treaty and First Nations.

As the KSM Project Environmental Manager, Elizabeth Miller has toured extensively in BC’s Northwest to inform residents about the project. “Seabridge would like to thank every person who

has worked to ensure this project is environ-mentally and socially responsible, sustainable and economically viable,” she said. “From those who came and commented at our local meetings, to those who wrote letters offering suggestions, to the Federal employees and elected offi cials who worked tirelessly to ensure the project met the strict environmental standards required here in Canada.”

The receipt of the Government of Canada’s environmental approval is a key step in the per-mitting process, however there is still much work to be done. Seabridge is now focused on con-tinuing the relationships with the communities, Nisga’a Nation and First Nations, obtaining the remaining approximately 100 additional operat-ing permits, and attracting the strategic partner-ships and project fi nancing necessary to build and operate the KSM Project. “We look forward to initiating the next phase in our deepening rela-tionship with BC’s northwest, in which we strive to ensure that KSM meets the legitimate expect-ations of the local communities,” Miller said.

Autism support facility to be openedBy Martina Perry THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - A lack of services for children with autism and their families was highlighted by a tragic incident earlier this year in Prince Rupert.

But in December a groundbreaking cere-mony was held for a fa-cility and service aim-ing to assist families across the province.

In April, Prince Ru-pert RCMP were called to a home on Ebert Street where the bodies of a mother and her son were found. Angie Rob-inson had taken the life of her 16-year-old son Robert, who was diag-nosed with autism at a young age, before com-mitting suicide.

After the tragic inci-dent, their family began calling into question the services offered to chil-dren with autism and their families in Prince Ru-pert.

“A complete assessment of current services and services required are at the forefront of the fami-ly’s investigation - so that the hopelessness felt by a mother who wanted nothing but help with her son so that he could live with her forever will not be felt by another family,” read a statement released by the family in April 2014.

Scheduled for completion in 2016, the GoodLife Fitness Autism Family Hub will aim to connect British Columbian families with services and sup-port, and to provide them with hope. The building will host the Pacific Autism Family Centre Founda-tion (PAFCF).

Located in Richmond, the facility will serve as a hub, with the foundation having future plans for up to eight spoke centres throughout the province.

The foundation also has plans to create an online network to provide information and education to families living in remote communities, as well.

The project’s total is $33 million, with $20 mil-lion coming from the province. GoodLife Fitness founder and CEO David Pathchell-Evans is the project’s lead donor and has contributed $5 million to the cause.

At the groundbreaking ceremony in Richmond, B.C. Minister Rich Coleman said what happened in Prince Rupert was a tragedy.

“The helplessness felt by a mother who wanted noth-ing but help with her son...”


The deaths of Angie Robinson and her son Robert, who was diagnosed with autism at a young age, brought attention to the lack of services available in Prince Rupert and in remote communities across the province. A facility is currently being construct-ed in Richmond to help assist children with autism and their families and to provide hope.

Annunciation School is now accepting applications for the

September 2015-2016 Kindergarten class.

Children must be 5 years of age before December 31, 2015.

Applications can be picked up at the school office (627 5th Avenue West)

or downloaded from www.annunciationpr.ca.

He then looked downupon the earth,

and saw your tired face.He put His arms

around youand lifted you to rest.

God’s garden must be beautiful,He always takes the best.

He knew that you were suffering,He knew that you would never get

well on earth again.He saw the road was getting rough,

and the hills were hard to climb.So He closed your weary eyelids

and whispered, “Peace Be Thine.”It broke our hearts to lose you,

but you did not go alone...For part of us went with you

on that day God called you home.

Frank Anthony BoomarsSeptember 15, 1939 to January 2, 2015

Our dad, papa, uncle and brother Frank Anthony Boomars died peacefully on January 2, 2015 in Prince Rupert, B.C.Frank was born Fransiscus Antonius Boomars in Haarlem, Holland, on September 15, 1939, along with his twin brother, Edward. In June 1954, Frank’s family, including his parents and 7 siblings arrived in Canada aboard the SS Castel Felice. The family fi rst settled in Winnipeg, Manitoba before moving west to Vancouver. In 1963 Frank moved to Prince Rupert to begin work as a fi nishing carpenter after honing his craft in Vancouver. He met Gail (Hennessy) in Prince Rupert and they married in 1965.During his career as a building contractor Frank built many family homes and commercial properties in the communities of Prince Rupert and Terrace until relocating to White Rock in 1990. He continued to build until his semi-retirement in 2005, which saw him and Gail return to Terrace, at which point he did renovation work to keep busy until 2013.Frank was predeceased by his wife, Gail, in May 2013. He is survived by his favourite daughter, Michelle (favourite son-in-law, Dwayne) of Prince Rupert, and favourite son, Shaun (favourite daughter-in-law, Beckie) of Kitimat; and his four favourite grandchildren, Devin, Hayley, Jake and Arianna.A service for Frank will be held Saturday, January 24th at 11 am at Sacred Heart Parish, 4830 Straume Ave., in Terrace, B.C.

Hurtin’ Rainmakers win home openerBy Kevin CampbellTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - With two start-ers already on the sidelines for the Charles Hays Rainmakers senior boys’ basketball team, the last thing they wanted to see was another body go down, especially in their home opener.

But that’s what transpired on Saturday afternoon as Kyler Reece was taken out of their game against Caledonia with a lower body injury after diving for a loose ball.

The Rainmakers, who played well in Reece’s absence, shot their way to a 59-52 win with two of � ve starters playing the entire game – Justin McChesney and Rosendo Masocol.

“[Kyler’s injury] hurt us be-cause he was one of our best shoot-ers for sure. He can knock ‘em down every time,” said Masocol, who led the ‘Makers in points, in-cluding a tremendous second quar-ter. where he knocked down con-secutive jump shots in the box and threes.

Caledonia was no easy foe for the hometown ballers on the week-end. With Reece, Perry Terrell and Kane Wesley out of the picture for now, the Kermodes took advantage and put up 52 points against the pro-vincially-ranked No. 3 Rainmakers, who always try to keep their oppo-nents to under 40 points, and rarely let them achieve more.

“We got the ‘W’ which is good,” continued Masocol, who dominated the � oor with excellent ball handling and positional play, opening up avenues for the team to take advantage of.

“I’m trying to bring the team to-gether, kind of get them on the same page – pretty much like the quarter-

back,” he said after the contest.“We have the best guys in here.

I just like to play an all-around game pretty much.”

Another hot hand on the day was Jakob Henry, who sank seven three-pointers during the game.

And it wasn’t just his offensive instincts that drew praise from both teammates and the coach.

“His defence today was really good so that helped us a lot,” said Masocol.

“He hit some big threes today – he shot well,” said head coach Mel Bishop.

After spotting the Rainmakers

a 17-14 lead at the end of the � rst quarter, the Kermodes played the home side tight and were within three at the half with the score 32-29.

Tristan Walker scored a bucket early in the third frame to give the Kermodes a slim lead but timely shooting by Henry, McChesney and Masocol got the ‘Makers ahead for good.

McChesney’s impact wasn’t felt as much through his offence but through his swift passing. Cale-donia’s plan was to keep him con-tained with some double coverage.

“We get him in the post and

they’re throwing a couple bodies at him so he’s always at least double-teamed,” said Bishop.

“I thought he made some great passes out of the post. He makes the game easier for us. They’ve got to run another guy at him so our pe-rimeter’s open. [Caledonia’s] phi-losophy is they’re not letting him get the ball inside so we’ve got to take a lot of perimeter shots. If we hit them, we’re in good shape.”

The ‘Makers hit them more of-ten than not and it gave them two wins on the weekend as they fol-lowed up their � rst victory with a 66-45 win later in the day.

Gabriel Johnson and Ryan Ku-nar were the offensive catalysts for the Kermodes in Game One. John-son scored 13 points and Kunar notched 11. Walker also matched Johnson’s totals with 13 points of his own for Terrace.

The senior girls’ squad played as well but Caledonia was too much for them to handle and the Terrace girls beat them 69-28.

The senior boys are now 9-1 in regional and tournament play this season, only losing to quad-A Kitsi-lano in the North Shore Invitational Tournament in December.

“This is after Christmas. We’re a little bit slower. We practiced over the holidays but not a lot of game stuff; more individual stuff so this is good for us,” said Bishop.

This weekend, the Skidegate se-nior boys will be making the trek across the water to play a best-of-three series on Friday and Saturday versus the Rainmakers.

As for Reece, Bishop said he’ll be getting his leg checked out via X-ray and the team is hoping for nothing major to come out of it.The only teams ranked higher by the Vancouver Province in the AAA B.C. high school division are the Abbotsford Panthers and Rich-mond’s R.A. McMath Wildcats.

If the starters continue to la-bour on the injured reserve, more Rainmakers will get the chance to shine in their place. Henry has been shooting extremely well beyond the arc and Cole Marogna, Aiden Bull and Nicolis Campbell have also done a serviceable job off the bench for the powerhouse ‘Makers.

They’ll look to remain unde-feated in 2015 with their games against Skidegate Friday and Sat-urday this weekend at the school’s gymnasium.

Four Kitimat swimmers to attend Western Nationals Contributed THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

KITIMAT - The Kitimat Marlins Swim Club have four swimmers who have quali� ed and will be at-tending Western Nationals this sea-son.

The four are currently training hard to compete at Western Canadi-an National Championships in Ed-monton in February.

To have one or two swimmers qualify from a small community is nice but to have four is exceptional indeed.

It takes years of practice to reach a national level in the sport.

The time standards to attend are extremely fast. Swimmers who qualify are among the fastest age group swimmers in the province.

The four Marlins all started years ago at three practices a week learning the basics of competitive

swimming. Every season with dedi-cation and work ethic they contin-ued to improve in technique and � t-ness.

The four swimmers now swim eight to nine workouts a week for 1.5 to two hours long.

Each practice is up to six kilo-metres in swimming (240 lengths of the Kitimat pool). The four also do strength and � exibility training three times a week with Pace Your-self � tness gym.

The four Marlins hold pool re-cords around the region and some of them Northwest BC regional re-cords, and are among the fastest swimmers for their age in the prov-ince.

They will join two swimmers from Smithers and two swimmers from Prince Rupert who have also quali� ed for Western Nationals this season.

The four Marlin swimmers are

Kleanza Cathers (15) who started with the Terrace Bluebacks swim club at age seven before she moved to the Marlins at age nine.

This season provincially her highest ranking is third for 15 year

old girls 50 meter freestyle and 100 Individual medley. She is currently quali� ed for Western Nationals in 15 and under girls 50, 100, 200, and 800 meter freestyle.

Brander Pacheco (16) started

competitive swimming with the Marlins at 13 years old.

This season provincially his highest ranking is ninth in the 16 year 50 butter� y. He has reached the Western Nationals qualifying standard in the 16 and under boys 50, 100 and 200 meter butter� y.

Alivia Soares (14) started com-petitive swimming with the Marlins at nine years old.

This season her highest ranking in BC is fourth for 14 year old girls in the 1500 meter freestyle. She has also quali� ed in the 15 and under girls 1500 meter freestyle at West-ern Nationals.

Zachary Dumas (15) started competitive swimming with the Marlins at nine years old. This sea-son his highest ranking is 6th in BC in the 15 year boys 400 IM.

He has quali� ed for the 16 and 200 meter butter� y at Western Na-tionals.

Digby ferry not seen as hinderanceBy Martina PerryTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - While a re-port states the Digby Island Fer-ry could prevent project workers from using the Prince Rupert Air-port, stakeholders believe there are solutions.

The Digby Island Ferry Ca-pacity Analysis, produced by Van-couver group Operations Eco-nomic Inc. and commissioned by the Prince Rupert and District Chamber of Commerce, states the ferry’s capacity could hinder the airport’s ability to move project workers, with it being probable that liquefied natural gas compa-nies would look for another way to move workers in and out of Prince Rupert.

“It is unlikely that LNG com-

panies and major construction companies would find 156 pas-sengers per hour as an acceptable level of passenger arrival and de-parture,” reads the report.

Maureen Macarenko, chair of the Prince Rupert Airport Author-ity, said the report was accurate and captures the current condi-tions and challenges of the airport transportation system.

“The report clearly points out our current transportation infra-structure would underserve de-mand at potential peak times – however, it is hoped the bulk of this demand could be managed through careful coordination of aircraft,” said Macarenko, add-ing several EPMC companies and work camp operators have expressed their capacity expecta-tions during discussions with the

airport authority.“Without question, the report

correctly highlights the need for an upgrade to the buses that serve the system. The report supports our window of opportunity to change and improve an ailing antiquated system to serve our customers well into the future,” she said.

Prince Rupert Mayor Lee Brain said the capacity issue could be resolved.

“With such large investments, I’m confident that many solutions will become available for our fer-ry once a final investment deci-sion is announced. In the mean-time, the City of Prince Rupert is doing its absolute best to provide a great service to our residents and is being proactive in solving the challenges presented,” said Brain.

Derby winners… PRINCE RUPERT - Ken Copping of the Prince Rupert Lions Club, first place win-ner Steve Wessel, Bill Kristmanson (Sec-ond), Mike Pearson (Third), Jeff Carlson, derby chairman and Rodney Proskiw, Lions Club president, stand together at the awards ceremony to wrap up the Blue Knucke Derby.
