Kitsault energy plan takes step forwardBy Anna KillenTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

TERRACE - Kitsault Energy, the company wanting to build and operate a lique� ed natural gas (LNG) export plant near an abandoned mining town north of Terrace, has applied for a 25-year natural gas export licence from federal regulators, the lat-est step in the company’s bid to export Canadian shale gas to Asian markets.

Submitted to the National Energy Board (NEB) on Dec. 18, 2013, the � ling requests a licence authorizing the export of up to 20 million tonnes of LNG per year for a term of 25 years.

The company intends to ini-tially use smaller � oating lique-faction plants beginning in 2018 and add on to those plants in fu-ture years in order to export up to 2.6 billion cubic feet of gas per day.

“The proposed LNG terminal will be comprised of a � oating, and/or land-based natural gas liquefaction plant, LNG storage and marine loading facilities,” reads the � ling.

Kitsault Energy was formed by Kitsault townsite owner Krishnan Suthanthiran to market the location as an energy hub be-cause its location on Alice Arm provides access to the Paci� c Ocean for LNG tankers and its

convenience as an end point for natural gas pipelines originating in northeastern B.C.

The townsite was initially built to house molybdenum mine workers and their fami-lies, but was abandoned over 30 years ago when the mine closed.

The out� t still needs to � nd partners or investors for an ap-proximately 600-kilometre long pipeline to bring the product to Kitsault, the LNG facilities it wants built, and a supply of nat-ural gas itself.

“Kitsault Energy will employ several models for export in-cluding a tolling model and one where project partners may own their gas supply or contracts

and be responsible for sales and delivery,” reads the � ling. “Ac-cordingly, Kitsault energy may or may not be involved directly in the purchase and sale of natu-ral gas with respect to export of gas from Canada.”

The company intends to power the project using elec-tric drives utilizing a BC Hydro transmission line already in use at Kitsault, gas turbine power generation, or a combination of the two, reads the � ling.

Three northwest LNG ter-minals received approval for export licences from the NEB last month. Three other projects in the Kitimat area received ap-proval earlier.

There’s a plan behind keeping roads clear of snow, iceBy Margaret SpeirsThe NorTherN coNNecTor

TERRACE - With the snowy and slushy con-ditions on the roads this holiday season, road clearing crews had their work cut out for them to keep traffic moving.

To give the pub-lic a better idea of how road clearing works, Nechako Northcoast op-erations manager Peter Lansdowne took some time to explain it to the regional district board late last year.

The public may think road crews aren’t out at the right time or in the right places, but they have a schedule, said Lansdowne.

Shifts start at mid-night and noon for 12 hours and if needed, a cover crew is out at 6 a.m. in heavy winter weather, he said.

People have com-plained that crews were not out before the traf-fic starts, which is why Nechako changed from a 4 a.m. shift to mid-night, said Lansdowne.

“It’s amazing that people think our trucks aren’t out there,” said Lansdowne, adding that from his point of view, if motorists don’t see the crews and the road is in decent shape, that’s the best thing because Nechako doesn’t want to delay travellers.

Crews work 24/7 and are out clearing the roads when traffic is light, Lansdowne told the regional district.

“We time the trucks to [go out] in front of school bus routes,” said Lansdowne, adding that they’re always in touch with the bus operators.

The public needs to be aware that the truck drivers are told to clear the centre line of the roads and they’re not trying to run vehicles off the road, said Lans-downe. Crews are also instructed to hold their position on the road go-ing up hills or around corners to ensure they’re cleaned, he said.

It can be difficult to predict when and where little squalls of intense bands of snowfall will fall and when they do, in minutes the road can look like that snowfall has been there for days,

he said. “We try to get word

out, so people are aware of the conditions before people go out so they can make an educated decision,” said Lansd-owne, adding he likes to hear from people di-rectly so if the regional district directors hear comments from their constituents to pass it on to his office.

One way to help motorists stay safe on area roads is the mes-sage boards, such as the one west of Terrace just before crossing the bridge to Kitsumkalum and new ones on the east side of the city on Hwy 16, two at Kitwanga and one at Krumm Rd., he added. Webcams are another way to pass on road conditions to mo-torists and a new one at Rosswood just came on-line recently, he said.

“Tis the season to get yelled at for snow removal,” joked City of Terrace board rep-resentative Bruce Bid-good.

He said he hears from constituents at Al-can and their concerns range from the snow re-moval crews not being out early enough before they commute between Terrace and Kitimat, that the snowplow blades are

not put down all the way to the ground to prevent road erosion, and that the aggregate is not put down in a sufficient pat-tern.

“What can I say to my constituents?” asked Bidgood. adding that Nechako might want to talk to the Rio Tinto Al-

can workers who com-mute between Terrace and Kitimat.

Lansdowne said he’s met with Rio Tinto Al-can and information has gone out in their compa-ny newsletters.

As for the snowplow blades not touching the ground, a lot of blades

have been worn out.“The thing about ag-

gregate is you can ap-preciate a load or two loads of sand only goes so far,” he said. “There are days [when] there’s never enough sand.”

And heavy trucks will blow sand out of the driving lanes and into

the centre of the road, he added.

Salt is the best tool to remove snow and ice but if it’s used at the wrong time, it can create conditions that are much more dangerous, he said. Salt requires traffic, the sun or a heat source to activate it.

Often a brine will form and refreeze and it’s dangerous and really hard to get off the road surface, he explained.

“It creates all kinds of grief,” he said.

Anther thing that’s done is to put down liquid calcium, which helps to activate the salt by starting a chemical reaction that cuts down on the amount of salt used, which is better be-cause salt is harmful to the environment.

Kitimat council-lor Corinne Scott said a problem with calcium is that besides helping to activate the salt, it’s also very slippery when it’s wet and is like soap scum or slime. Lansd-owne said that was true but that “slimy compo-nent” doesn’t last.

Terrace area direc-tor Doug McLeod com-mended Nechako and the ministry for working on road safety, especial-ly since the Hwy16 and Hwy 37 corner is very

busy these days with all the logging traffic.

“I appreciate the ef-fort, also thank you for putting street lights out at Water Lily bay, which are very helpful at this time of year,” he said, referring it getting dark sooner in winter.

And he also thanked Lansdowne for putting up the “slingshot fence” on the other aide of air-port hill, which has al-ready been tested a few times, he said.

Lansdowne said a woman had called to say thanks for the fence after her husband had hit it and it had stopped his vehicle. Before that, they had been wonder-ing if it would really stop a vehicle and now they knew it would.

Lansdowne said that kind of fence was way less expensive than put-ting up a railing and that it was relatively new up here but had been used in medians in the Fraser valley for awhile now.

“The reason we use it up here is it’s not cost effective to try to con-struct shoulders to pro-vide enough width to put concrete barriers in,” he said.

The toll-free number with 24 hour access to the road crews is 1-800-665-5051.

Snowmobiler and Winter Recreation Users Public Safety Notice

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

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

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

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

Kitimat assessments leading the packBy Cameron OrrThe NorTherN coNNecTor

KITIMAT - The as-sessed values of proper-ties in Kitimat continue their rise, as BC Assess-ment announces Kiti-mat’s assessment roll has gone up 29.51 per cent.

That’s across all classifications, Residen-tial and commercial.

On average, a sin-gle-family residential property that in 2013 would have been as-sessed at $180,000 is now $228,000, or an in-crease of 26.67 per cent.

Only one other com-munity in the northwest would see an increase in the 20 per cent range. New Hazelton rose 22.3 per cent, however their average assessed value is much lower than Kit-imat’s. A home there at $88,000 would on aver-age now be $108,000, $120,000 lower than a Kitimat home.

Most assessments in the region did go up, and the overall northwest region assessment roll increased from $7.669 billion to $8.595 billion this year.

The City of Ter-race rose 10.91 per cent. An average home of $220,000 in 2013 would now be valued $244,000.

The City of Prince Rupert rose 8.89 per cent.

There were some drops however. The Dis-trict of Stewart dropped 6.33 per cent, from a $79,000 average home price to $74,000.

The Village of Queen Charlotte fell 2.38 per cent, and the Village of Masset dropped 2.04 per cent.

The District of Port Edward went down 4.55 per cent, and the Vil-lage of Port Clements dropped 6.33 per cent.

Interestingly, the Village of Hazelton saw absolutely no shift in their assessments.

While the sharp in-crease in assessed val-ues in Kitimat may alarm some as they think ahead to paying their property taxes, the Dis-trict of Kitimat won’t be jumping your payments by that 20+ per cent in-crease.

After 2013’s as-sessed values numbers were released, Kitimat Chief Administrative Officer Ron Poole ex-plained that taxes here are based on the aver-age increase, which for all residential was 27.23 per cent.

But that’s essentially the base line. The city is shooting for a three per cent spending increase this year, and they’ll set the appropriate tax rate to that average base line.

So if your assessed value was under the av-erage you might see a

slightly lower tax in-crease for your home, while a home above that will see a slight increase, but usually only within a small per cent.

So in short, an as-sessed value rise of 20 per cent does not trans-late into a 20 per cent in-crease of taxes.

As usual home own-ers can appeal their as-sessment roll.

“Property owners who feel that their prop-erty assessment does not reflect market value as of July 1, 2013 or see in-correct information on their notice should con-tact BC Assessment as indicated on their no-tice as soon as possible in January, said deputy assessor Christopher Whyte.

“If a property owner is still concerned about their assessment after speaking to one of our appraisers they may sub-mit a Notice of Com-plaint by January 31 for an independent review by a Property Assess-ment Review Panel,” he added. Those panels will be meeting between February 1 and March 15.

Property owners can call BC Assessment at 1-866-825-8322 for more information.

The average increase for residential properties in Prince Rupert rose by 8.89 per cent from 2013 to 2014, meaning

the average home with a value of $180,000 last year would be assessed at $196,000 this year. However, some home-owners have report-ed increases as high as $27,000 year-over-year.

In neighbouring Port Edward the aver-age assessed value fell by 4.55 per cent, mean-ing a home valued at $132,000 would be val-ued at $126,000 this year.

With assessments tied to municipal tax-es, which are based on the value of their home, anyone who feels the assessment isn’t indica-tive of the true value will have to act quickly to appeal the notice.

While the assess-ments may mean more money being paid by homeowners, both the City of Prince Rupert and District of Port Ed-ward can expect a jump in income based on a growing tax roll in 2014.

The tax roll in Prince Rupert rose from 10.12 per cent to sit at $1.43 billion compared to $1.3 billion last year. The res-idential tax roll is up 8.5 per cent while the com-mercial tax roll is up 14.84 per cent.

The District of Port Edward saw a 7.7 per cent increase in its tax roll to sit at $76.9 mil-lion compared to $71.4 million last year.

Although the resi-

dential tax roll dropped by 4.16 per cent, the commercial tax roll bal-looned 91.3 per cent, almost doubling from $12.4 million last year to $23.7 million for 2014.

Generally, north-west assessment levels are very different from a decade ago when sharp drops were recorded.

Study shows bear watching more valuable than huntingBy Tom FletcherThe NorTherN coNNecTor

PRINCE RUPERT - B.C.’s Coastal First Nations were quick to endorse a new U.S. study of the value of bear viewing in their traditional territo-ries.

Kitasoo/Xai’xais councillor Doug Neasloss said the study by the Washington D.C.-based Centre for Responsible Travel supports what the northwest coast aboriginal communities have been saying for years: “Bears are worth more alive than they are dead.”

The study calculated that in 2012, bear view-ing in what is now popularly known as the Great Bear Rainforest generated 12 times the visitor revenue as bear hunting. It counts 510 people employed in bear viewing companies compared to 12 jobs in guided hunting.

The study is the latest salvo in a battle over trophy hunting in B.C. In November the prov-ince proposed to expand its traditional grizzly hunt to include Cariboo and Kootenay regions that were previously closed due to population concerns.

The Coastal First Nations, which includes Haida, Heiltsuk and seven other North Coast communities, has asserted its unresolved treaty

rights in logging and pipeline protests as well as bear hunting. In 2012 the group announced a ban on trophy hunting for bears in its territories.

The province has continued to issue “har-vesting” permits, including one well-publi-cized trophy shot by NHL player Clayton Ston-er in May 2013, who took only the head and paws.

The U.S. study, funded by Tides Canada and Nature Conservancy USA, suggested B.C. has overstated the value of its guide-outfitter busi-ness to remote economies.

The province tracks wildlife populations and records human-related deaths, including vehicle accidents and “conflict kills,” where ranchers or conservation officers shoot bears to protect homes or livestock.

The U.S. study reports that there were 74 grizzly hunters from outside B.C. in 2012, 80 per cent of them from the U.S.

From 1976 to 2009 the province issued hunt-ing permits for an average of 297 grizzly bears a year.

Douglas Brown / the northern ConneCtor

Bear viewing companies on B.C.’s remote North Coast are growing as hunting de-clines, according to a U.S. analysis.

Pianists to start the yearSubmittedTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

KITIMAT - The next performance in Kitimat’s Concert Association series promises to be uniquely special. They have a renowned concert pianists com-ing in January.

With their unique programming and captivating stage presence, The Fung-Chiu pianists have quickly be-come one of Canada’s premiere piano-duos.

Janelle Fung and Philip Chiu are a young, stylish, articulate and thor-oughly modern musical team that plays from the standard classical rep-ertoire, but also creates original tran-scriptions of repertoire that tickles the Duo’s fancy and those of its impas-sioned audiences.

Established pianists in their own right, they have come together to pres-ent concerts that challenge the tradi-tional boundaries of piano four hands, a challenging form of performance where two musicians play together on the same piano.

The Fung-Chiu Duo was formed in 2007 under the auspices of Jeuness-es Musicales Canada. They have since performed extensively throughout Canada, including two multi-city tours

as well as gala appearances at Casino de Montréal and the Orford Arts Cen-tre. Their self-produced debut CD, Fairy Tales and Folklore, was released in 2008 to wide acclaim.

Upcoming projects include a col-laboration with actor Reid Morgan to commemorate the 100th anniversary of World War I, as well as a multi-dis-ciplinary show that combines music and contemporary dance.

The Fung-Chiu Duo is committed to expanding the repertoire for piano four-hands. Their original transcrip-tions include Stravinsky’s Firebird, Bernstein’s West Side Story, and Pro-ko� ev’s Romeo and Juliet. They also commissioned a work from Canadi-an composer Emily Doolittle entitled Sorex. They have been featured on lo-cal radio stations across the country and can be heard on CBC and Radio-Canada.

Kitimat’s young musicians are in for a special treat as well: Fung Chui will be providing a workshop where our youngsters will be getting the duo’s expert advice on improving their pieces for the upcoming Music Festi-val.

The concert will take place at the Mount Elizabeth Theatre on January 16 at 8:00 p.m.

PRINCE RUPERT - Wind and rain couldn’t keep approximately 60 swimmers out of the harbour as the Prince Ru-pert Rotary Club hosted its annual Polar Bear Swim on Jan. 1.

SPCA adopts out more animals in 2013By Martina PerryThe NorTherN coNNecTor

PRINCE RUPERT - It was a hap-py ending for more of the animals sheltered at the Prince Rupert SPCA in 2013 than in 2012.

Adoption rates at Prince Ru-pert’s branch were up 32 per cent in 2013, with 78 local adoptions taking place and 135 animals be-ing transferred out and adopt-ed for a total of 213. Last year 289 animals were housed at the branch, which included 161 cats, 125 dogs, two rabbits and one bat.

Branch manager Anna Tereb-ka said the Prince Rupert SPCA had a 90 per cent live release rate in 2013, meaning animals were either adopted, transferred for adoption, or were redeemed by

their owner. This is up from 80 per cent in 2012.

The remaining 10 per cent are either still up for adoption,were too unhealthy to be saved, had unassisted death, post-operative death or were euthanized because they were a risk to people or other animals.

Fifty fewer animals went through the Prince Rupert SPCA last year compared to 2012, which Terebka said is because the branch no longer accepts fe-ral cats.

“People would trap the cats and bring them to us. We no lon-ger let that happen. A feral cat in a trap [is cruel],” Terebka said, adding the branch’s main goal of 2014 is to start a program where trained volunteers will capture fe-

ral cats, bring them to the SPCA to have them spayed or neutered, then release them.

“We’re going to leave feral cats on the streets and promote spay and neuter. Those cats have adapted to living in the wild.”

The Prince Rupert branch will apply for grants in order to-launch the program and will take steps to educate the public on the subject.

To start off the new year, the branch will hold a volunteer ori-entation session to help train ani-mal lovers and provide them with options on how to help. Potential volunteers will help with tasks like the spay/neuter program, fun-draising events, humane educa-tion and advocacy, cleaning and more.

Red Raven assists food bank …

anna killen / the nORtheRn COnneCtOR

TERRACE - Members of the Red Raven Gallery stand with the food they collected for the Terrace Churches Food Bank over the Dec. 13 weekend – customers at the gallery were given 10 per cent off if they donated a non-perishable food item. “We collected four or five big boxes, everything from toothbrushes, soap and lots of food,” said photogra-pher Sylvia Hart, noting that the gallery will probably do another big push for the food bank when they are in their new location. “It’s so easy to forget after Christmas that people are still in need,” she said. This is the gallery’s last week in their temporary location beside Mr. Mikes and they’re hoping another local benefactor will allow them to set up shop in a space that’s not being used.

Mining industryposts growthVICTORIA - B.C.’s mining industry continues to grow and expand as new projects, construction starts and expansions drove job creation and investment throughout the mining industry in 2013.

The most important highlight of 2013 was the celebration of a new mine going into production in August. Mt. Milligan mine north of Prince George, a $1.5-billion project with 350 permanent jobs, shipped its first copper ore in late summer and cel-ebrated its commissioning in October.

Additionally, a number of operating mines made improvements to their operations. Both Gibraltar mine in the Cariboo and Line Creek in the Koote-nays received Mines Act permit amendments that re-sulted in almost $400 million in investment and en-sured jobs for 650 workers.

Mine construction dominated industry progress in 2013 with a number of large projects well on their way to becoming producing mines. Red Chris mine in the Northeast is well on its way. The $500-million project is expected to start producing ore in 2014. Roman mine, near Tumbler Ridge, also started con-struction and the company is working toward pro-duction in 2014.

Both industry and the Province continue to work closely with First Nations on resource development, setting out clear expectations for the consultation process and working toward more revenue-sharing agreements. Mining employs more First Nations than any other industry in B.C.

The Province has signed 10 economic and com-munity development agreements with First Nations to date. In 2013, the first cheques were delivered to First Nations for agreements with New Afton, Cop-per Mountain and Highland Valley mines.

Mining continues to be one of B.C.’s safest heavy industries and has a lower injury rate than most of the other resource and industrial sectors.

Search for Adam Moore turns to Galloway RapidsBy Shaun ThomasTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - The North Coast rallied around the family of Adam Moore last week in a desperate search to locate the missing Prince Rupert man.

Moore, 26, was last seen in the area of 7-11 at approximately 3:15 a.m. on Dec. 29 and has not been seen or heard from since.

Prince Rupert RCMP said initial reports indi-cated that Moore may have driven to Terrace in his black 2005 Volkswa-gen Jetta, B.C. licence plate 517 NVV, some-thing police were unable to corroborate.

Early in the week, RCMP conducted aerial searches between Terrace and Prince Rupert while Royal Canadian Ma-rine Search and Rescue (Station 64 – Prince Rupert) searched along the waters of the Skeena River and Ter-race Search and Rescue undertook a search on foot between the two com-munities.

There was a break in the case over the weekend when countless volun-teers came out to help search in the Prince Rupert and Port Edward area.

At approximately 2 p.m. on Jan. 5, RCMP cordoned off an area along

the entrance to the Galloway Rap-ids Bridge after searchers discovered pieces of a vehicle. Those pieces were later con� rmed to belong to the Jetta driven by Moore and a search of the waters in the area began. A dive team and underwater cameras arrived on

the scene and a dive team from Kamloops arrived on Jan. 7. However, as of Wednesday morning the vehicle had yet to be re-covered.

For the week leading up to the discovery, the family had been reach-ing out to the communi-ty to help locate Adam. A group on Facebook quickly created close to 5,000 likes as people looked for updates and ways to become involved in the search.

“As Adam’s mother, this has to be the most devastating part of my

life. I love my son, and value him so much, with all my heart. It’s frighten-ing to be in this situation,” said Inez Shanoss at a Jan. 3 media conference, noting how thankful the family was for the support of those in Prince Ru-pert and around the region.

TERRACE - Hawkair sponsored a trip for two for a Terrace Midg-et Tier 4 Rep Team fundraiser late last year. The team was running the 1st Annual Northwest Bantam All Star Games in Terrace with players featured from all over the Northwest. Ray Horning was the happy winner from Topley BC. Ray is seen here being presented with his Hawkair gift certificate from Coach Emile Gagnon of the Azorcan Tier 4 Rep Team.

Terrace topsin real estateBy Josh Massey The NorTherN coNNecTor

Terrace was the prop-erty sales champion of the Northwest in 2013, according to a report re-leased Jan. 7, 2014 by the BC Northern Real Estate Board.

Compared to neigh-bouring cities of compa-rable size, Terrace saw 384 properties change hands in 2013, com-pared to Kitimat which had 235 and Prince Ru-pert 261.

“The 384 properties that sold in the Terrace area in 2013 were worth $87.8 million compared with 2012’s 318 proper-ties worth $66 million,” reads the report.

By the end of De-cember, there were 111 properties of all types available in the Terrace area, which was a drop from 157 in 2012.

The average sale prices in Terrace, Kiti-mat and Prince Rupert jumped significantly compared to previous years, the report shows.

The 235 total sales in Kitimat in 2013 were worth $56.9 million, compared to the 239 properties worth $41.3 million that sold in 2012.

In Prince Rupert, the 261 properties that changed hands in 2013 were worth $55 mil-lion compared with 160 properties worth $26.9 million in 2012.

These figures from all three of the North-west’s most populous towns roughly mirror the recent property val-ues released by B.C. As-sessments.

The board reported a total of 4,891 property sales in the northern re-gion worth $1.2 billion in 2013, up from last year’s 4,696 sales worth

$1.08 billion.The northern re-

gion includes cities along Hwy16 north of Williams Lake to Fort Nelson and west along Hwy16.

Northern Real Estate Board president Gisela Janzen said in a release that sales in the North-west region were high-est this year compared to other northern regions, and that overall sales in the north rose by four per cent, continuing an upwards trend for the fourth straight year.

“Markets in the Northwest region per-formed extremely well, mostly driven by large economic projects and developments,” said Jan-zen.

“Markets in the southern region re-mained largely un-changed from the pre-vious year mainly due to a poorly performing labour market,” Janzen added of other regions.

With heavy hearts we announce the passing of our mother Ruth Marie (McKenzie) Mangnus on December 22, 2013. Survived by her three daughters Suzy (Andy), Dawn (Paul) and Cindy (Armando), her five grandsons, Kalen, Lucas, Benjamin, Joshua and Aquiles and her only great grandson, Brayden. We miss you terribly already Mom and hope we inherited just a little of the strength and independence you were so well known to possess. We take peace in the knowledge that your spirit is now free of the pain you

endured for so many years. We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to all the staff at Terrace

View Lodge for the gentle, professional care provided to Mom in her final

days. A private celebration of

life will be arranged at a future date and we ask that in lieu of flowers, donations to the Salvation Army would

be appreciated.

Ruth Marie (McKenzie) Mangnus April 14, 1935 - December 22, 2013

At 6:00pm on December 19, 2013 Jan very quietly left us to be with his beloved daughter Lydia, pre-deceased on December 18, 2006.Jan is survived by his wonderful wife of 60 years. Barbara and his son Stefan (Carolyn).Jan passed away with grace and dignity, with his family by his side, in the Misericordia General Hospital, Edmonton, Alberta, after a short illness.

Jan came to Canada, along with a group of his military collegues, at the conclusion of World War II, working

and living in various locations in Western Canada, such as Wartime, Indian-Head and Saskatoon, Saskatchewan,

Edmonton and Calgary Alberta, then moving to a small coal-mining community high in the Alberta Rocky Mountains, Mercoal, Alberta, where he met, fell in love with and married his best friend and eternal soul mate, Barbara, who he always called “Baska”. Soon after, their daughter Lydia was born and later their son Stefan.Jan, Barbara and family moved to Kitimat, BC in 1959, along with a healthy contingent of residents from Mercoal, to become a part of a new, vibrant and thriving community of which they all were a large part of for nearly 50 years. Jan and Barbara relocated to Nanaimo, BC in the Summer of 2006 to be with their daughter Lydia.While living in Kitimat, Jan worked in the machine shop, maintenance division at Alcan Aluminum Co. for many years before moving on to work for Eurocan Pulp and Paper Co, also in the machine shop. He then became Supervisor in Eurocan’s machine shop for many years before eventually retiring to enjoy the fi ner things in life.An avid member of the Kitimat Rod and Gun Club, Jan could be found most Saturday mornings down at the clubhouse with Lydia and Stefan. Jan absolutely loved the outdoors, camping, hunting and fi shing. Many of Kitimat’s youth benefi tted from his experience and teaching at the rifl e range.Jan became a member of the Kitimat Masonic Lodge No. 169 and the Kitimat Preceptory of Royal Arch Masons as well as becoming a Shriner and member of the Kitimat Royal Canadian Legion. Jan’s loves and passions included all the time spent with his family members and multitude of friends. Another of Jan’s passions was to exhibit the fi ne hospitality and warmness of friendship to anyone and everyone who visited and was welcomed into their home. This is where his Polish and Russian heritage surfaced and fl ourished. These passions all stayed with him to his fi nal moments. Barbara and Stefan would like to sincerely thank all Jan’s dear friends and co-workers for their out-pouring of condolences and best wishes. They would also ask that everyone honour Jan’s last wish to enjoy “one more good one” in his memory.As per Jan’s wishes “to keep things simple” there was no funeral or ceremony.

In Loving Memory

In the early morning hours of November 29, 2013, our beloved Dawn was gathered to her heavenly Father’s arms.She is pre-deceased by her grandparents, her aunt Sheila Dermody and her mother-in-law Patricia Keeler. She is survived by her loving husband Scott, young daughters Catie and Jessica, her best friend Korri Mahoney whom she called her sister and who provided care to Dawn for many months, her mother Sharon (Gordon) Hand, father Hans (Margaret) Sanou, half siblings - sister Kelly (Tim) Bartlett, and brother Noel (Korrina) Jervis, father-in-law Garth Keeler, sister-in-law Alison (Corey) Daly and various aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews and many friends. Dawn was born and raised in Kitimat and graduated from MESS is 1994. She lived her adult life in Cranbrook, BC except for seven years in Claresholm, Alberta.Dawn always loved caring for people as evidenced by her choice of profession - nursing. Even after her illness prevented her from working, she continued to fi nd new ways to care for and bring joy to other people’s lives. This included even using her illness to intentionally bring people together. Part of Dawn’s legacy will be the relationships that were forged because of her willingness to share her journey with others. Although cancer took her from us, she didn’t lose the battle. With every new diagnosis she found something to celebrate and taught many of us to do the same.A celebration of her life and the life she brought to others was held at the Key City Theatre in Cranbrook on December 7. Those who wish to may contribute memorial donations to a trust fund for Dawn’s daughters at East Kootenay Credit Union, 920 Baker St., Cranbrook, BC V1C 1A5.

Born June 30, 1942 in Prince Rupert, B.C. to Harvey and Marjorie. Ouchy left us unexpectedly on January 5, 2014. He grew up in various coastal communities as his family “chased the fish” but Prince Rupert was always his home. He married his high school sweetheart, Wendy, in 1964, and then purchased the second love of his life, the Miss Cory, on which he fished until his retirement. With Wendy and their three children, Cory, Chris and Roger, and their families, he shared his work ethic (commercial fishing); love of sport (curling and his Montreal Canadiens); and family time in Disneyland, Maui, and Lakelse. He greatly appreciated his daily escapades with the boys of the Breakers Coffee Club that brought endless stories of laughter.

Much loved, Ouchy will be sadly missed by his wife, Wendy; children, Cory (Gary) McLaughlin (Liam and Calleigh), Chris (Tracey) Atchison (Hunter and Quinn), Roger (Teresa) Atchison (Marcus, Cole, Renae and Halle); sister, Hazel (Wayne) Holliston (Darren and Wendy); mother-in-law, Johanna Christensen; and sister-in-law, Judy (Duncan) Irvine.

A celebration of Ouchy’s life will be held on Saturday, January 11, 2014 from 2 – 5pm at Breakers Pub.

The family would like to thank Judy Rea and Jennifer Nelson at the Prince Rupert Cancer Clinic for all of their support and care of Ouchy.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the North Coast Health Improvement Society for Prince Rupert Cancer Services.

Terrace River Kings sweep RampageBy Shaun ThomasTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - The Prince Rupert Rampage met the white hot Terrace River Kings on Friday night as they looked to build momentum leading into the CIHL playoffs.

The Rampage wasted no time in bringing the crowd to their feet as Kory Movold carried the puck in close and buried a backhander � ve-hole just 2:25 into the game. 61 seconds later, Thomas Robin-son picked up a loose puck in front and poked it past Terrace netmind-er Garrett Muir to make it 2-0 for Prince Rupert.

Terrace responded with 12:35 to play as Derek Jurista put a back-hander under the glove of Warren Hansen to pull the River Kings to within one. After the goal, the Ram-page controlled play in the offen-sive zone but were unable to capi-talize. Things got exciting with six minutes to play as Greg Sheppard was stopped on a breakaway and Josh Murray was pulled down go-ing in alone the other way and was awarded a penalty shot, which he shot wide. In the dying minutes it was the goalies’ time to shine as Muir made some great saves from his back with 90 seconds on the clock and Hansen made a two-on-one save with 10 seconds left to keep things at 2-1. Some rough stuff after the whistle and a bench mi-nor would give Terrace 5-on-3 ad-vantage to start the second, but the Rampage took a one goal lead into the dressing room.

The Terrace 5-on-3 resulted in a breakaway goal — for the short-handed Rampage. After sweeping away the puck, Devin Palmer went in alone and, after cutting across

the net, put the puck over the pad of Muir just 1:19 into the period to extend the lead to two. After more back and forth action, Terrace cut into the lead when a weak Rich Clair shot hit the top of Hansen’s pad before bouncing through the � ve-hole with 8:56 to play. Movold scored his second of the game with 5:42 on the clock, sniping a wris-ter top shelf over the glove of Muir. Before the period ended, and on the powerplay following a Kendal Stace-Smith roughing call, Jurista narrowed the gap with a shot from a bad angle that snuck between Han-

sen and the post with 3:38 to go. Like the � rst the second ended with the Rampage holding onto a one goal lead, 4-3, ensuring an exciting � nal frame.

The River Kings came out � red up in the third and tied things up just 55 seconds into the period when Corey Dekelver tipped one past Hansen right in front. Terrace dominated the early part of the pe-riod as the Rampage were unable to get anything going offensively, including a two minute man ad-vantage that didn’t see a single shot make it to the Terrace net, and that

strong play allowed the River Kings to take the lead for the � rst time when Josh Murray squeaked one under a downed Hansen with 12:52 to play. The remainder of the peri-od was similar to the start, with Ter-race keeping Rupert at bay and play largely in the Rampage end. As the clock wound down it looked like the River Kings would take the reg-ulation win, but Rampage captain Jared Meers snapped a wrister past Muir with 1:16 to play to tie things up. When the � nal buzzer sound-ed, the two teams were tied at � ve, forcing overtime.

The extra � ve minutes of four-on-four didn’t resolve anything and the two goaltenders prepared for what would prove to be a lengthy shootout. Both Jurista and Meers were stopped in the � rst round, while Hansen shut down Jurista and Movold put one under the blocker of Muir in the second. In the third round, Terrace captain Steve Cul-lis went low glove side on Han-sen to keep the River Kings alive and Muir shut the door on Kendal Stace-Smith, meaning an extra set of shootouts was needed. In the fourth round, William Fisher went low stick side on Hansen and Jor-dan Weir put one through the pads of Muir. In the � fth round, Jeremy Van Den Broek went low stick side on Hansen while Muir shut down Josh Kierce of the Rampage to give Terrace the 6-5 win.

The next day, the Rampage travelled to Terrace for a rematch. The game started once more with a Rampage goal as Kierce put one past Muir with 7:46 to play, but Ju-rista put one past Devin Gerrits with 9:51 to play to tie things up at one going into the second.

The River Kings quickly took the lead in the second as Calen Findlay found the back of the net just 51 seconds into the period on the powerplay. Just over eight min-utes in, Cullis extended the River Kings’ lead, and the Rampage went into the � nal frame trailing 3-1.

Terrace’s Lee Muir put the game almost out of reach with 13:33 to go with the team’s fourth goal, but the Rampage went out on a high note as Craig Munro beat Muir on the pow-erplay with 3:05 left to narrow the gap. When the buzzer sounded, the River Kings completed the sweep with a 4-2 victory.
