MP willing to hostLNG site summitBy Rod LinkTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

TERRACE - This Skeena NDP MP Nathan Cullen thinks there’s a deal to be made which could end the opposition and controversy surrounding the proposed Lelu Island location for the planned PacificNorth-west LNG project. That change would be for the company to move to another location.

Cullen even has another location in mind – the one on Ridley Island selected by the BG Group for its Prince Ru-pert LNG project. “I’ll even buy the coffee,” said Cullen of his offer to host a meeting of top executives from the com-panies and decision makers.

Speaking last week, Cullen said the proposal is based on two factors – the first being the opposition to Lelu Island and the second being the recent purchase by Shell of the BG Group. “I was never sure why they had picked Lelu Island in the first place,” said Cullen in reference to its location within the salmon-sensitive Skeena River estuary.

He added that he has asked Petronas, the Malaysian gov-ernment-owned corporation which is the lead company involved in Pacific NorthWest LNG but has failed to get an answer. “I know both the fed-eral and provincial govern-ments wanted them there. Ac-tually, the federal government helped by changing legisla-tion.”

Ever since Lelu Island sur-faced as Pacific NorthWest LNG’s preferred location for its LNG plant and export ter-minal, opposition has grown based on worries of possible effects on Skeena River salm-on.

Although a federal envi-ronmental review released for public comment last month suggested there would be no effects on salmon populations, opposition to the project re-mains among some First Na-tions groups, including the Lax Kw’alaams who have Lelu Island within their tra-ditional territory, and among environmental groups.

Cullen says that with Shell now buying BG Group, the Prince Rupert LNG project may not proceed simply be-cause Shell is the lead partner in the LNG Canada project at Kitimat which is significantly further along in the develop-ment phase. That would make the Ridley Island location available, he said.

Cullen did caution that any shift in Pacific NorthWest LNG location would require a complete environmental re-view, and he noted that com-panies cannot be compelled to undertake massive shifts in project plans.

But those same companies could generate a tremendous amount of goodwill and coop-eration from various parties, Cullen added. “If there’s ever a region that needs economic hope, this is it,” said Cullen.

The MP even suggested there might be a role for the federal government to play in any project location change inasmuch as it needs to pro-mote economic development.

He also said anything he might be able to do would acknowledge conversations among the Lax Kwa’alaams and the Metlakatla into loca-tions of prospective LNG proj-ects. “I would be really cog-nizant of the process they’re working through,” he said.

Will PNW LNG be dredging in order to accommodate LNG carriers?No. LNG carriers will berth in naturally deep water in Chatham Sound, requiring no dredging at the marine terminal.

Why is dredging no longer required at the marine terminal?Based on feedback from federal regulators, First Nations and the community, PNW LNG revised the marine infrastructure design to relocate the marine terminal to naturally deep water and eliminated the need for dredging at the LNG carrier berths.

Will there be any dredging for the project?We have significantly reduced the dredging required. We will need to do a small amount of dredging in advance of the construction of our Material Offloading Facility (MOF). The MOF would be used to accommodate cargo ships delivering equipment and materials to our facility. Before any dredging occurs, we would work with local First Nations and the regulators.

What has PNW LNG done to protect salmon habitat?By relocating the marine terminal, we have eliminated the need for significant dredging at the LNG carrier berths. In addition, as part of our environmental assessment application, we have proposed fish and fish habitat mitigation measures to protect local salmon and other marine life during construction and operations.

What is the current status of the project?The Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency (CEAA) recently released its draft environmental assessment report and proposed conditions for Pacific NorthWest LNG (PNW LNG). To review the draft CEAA report and conditions, please visit bit.ly/DraftCEAAReport.

How can I provide feedback on the CEAA process?CEAA is accepting comments from the public until March 11, 2016. Comments can be emailed to [email protected].

We want to thank the local First Nations and community members who have provided feedback to us and the Government of Canada throughout our federal environmental assessment. Your feedback has helped us to continually improve the design of our facility.

For more information, visit one of our community offices in Port Edward or Prince Rupert, PacificNorthWestLNG.com or call 250.622.2727.

Rupert lead test prompts mandatory water monitoringBy Shannon LoughTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - The discovery of intolera-ble levels of lead in four Prince Rupert schools may result in systemic changes.

British Columbia is on its way to joining On-tario as the second prov-ince in Canada to rou-tinely monitor metals in schools. In Ontario, schools have to submit a sample once a year to test for lead.

A letter from the Deputy Minister of Ed-ucation was sent to all superintendents on Feb. 24 at the request of Pro-vincial Health Of� cer Dr. Perry Kendall asking school districts to work with local health author-ities to establish a plan to evaluate water qual-ity, especially in schools built before the 1989 re-vision of the BC Plumb-ing Code restricting the use of lead in potable water lines.

On Feb. 16 students were sent home with let-ters informing parents that mitigation measures had been put in place after Northern Health found elevated levels

of lead in the water at Pineridge Elementary, Ecole Roosevelt Park Community School, Conrad Elementary and Prince Rupert Middle School.

A long-term man-agement plan is in the works for School Dis-trict 52. Superintendent Sandra Jones received the Deputy Minister of Education’s letter yes-terday and is sorting out the details of the plan, which should in-clude evaluating facili-ties based on age and water supply, carrying out testing at priority fa-cilities, mitigating risks, regularly re-sampling to verify effectiveness and communicating � nd-ings. The schools in the district are already doing manual � ushing every morning as part of the mitigation strategy.

Moving forward we’d like to move into an automated � ushing system, but obviously that takes a little bit of time to put into place but that’s where we’re head-ed,” Jones said.

The schools are also in the midst of replacing all the water fountains with more \’93robust

fountains that � lter ev-erything, Jones said add-ing the � lters cost $300 a piece. But it’s what we have to do.

School District 52 will also set up routine water testing.

“We should have looked at this sooner,” said MLA Jennifer Rice who added that she is frustrated with the lack of education over the is-sue.

A Kitimat school

found unacceptable lev-els of lead in its water in 2012. The BC Centre for Disease Control pub-lished a report in 2014 to follow up on the in-cident. The report stated that “younger children

may be particularly vul-nerable due to their rel-atively higher exposures and absorption rates and greater neurological vul-nerability.”

The report’s � ndings highlighted “the need for routine monitoring of drinking in schools” and that schools should � ush their pipes before each school day.

The incident in Kiti-mat and the report didn’t cause enough steam to � re up concrete change. It wasn’t until two new medical health of� cers, Dr. Raina Fumerton and Dr. Sandra Allison, be-gan working for North-ern Health that the water was tested.

“Ensuring safe drinking water for all people that live in the north to me is an ex-tremely important pri-ority,” Allison said. The water quality committee for Northern Health was working with aggres-sive water and trying to understand the impacts to the northern regions. They reached out to the schools to get current testing results.

Allison said the big-gest concern is young children and pregnant

women as lead con-sumption can affect de-velopment. Even if the schools provide � ltered water, lead can be found in water sitting stagnant in pipes in homes built before 1989.

General manager of Saanich Plumbing and Heating in Prince Ru-pert, Jerry Kurka, said approximately 60 per cent of domestic pipes in Prince Rupert homes are made with lead or copper. Northern Health recommends people run their taps until the water is cold to get fresh water from city pipe.

Allison said this is not the � rst time there has been an issue with lead and she wants it to remain top of mind. She suggested having a lead awareness week once a year to remind people to � ush their taps if they live in older homes.

The routine testing at the schools will re-main the responsibility of the school district, but Northern Health will be an ongoing resource in the process.

“When they get their testing we can help with the interpretation,” Alli-son said.

Port Edward council discusses 50th anniversary party

SHANNON LOUGH / THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

Port Edward Coun. Christine Mackenzie spoke at the recent Women’s Leadership Network launch.

By Shannon LoughTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PORT EDWARD - A short and sweet District of Port Edward Council meeting wrapped up on Feb. 23 with its final business for February, passing two mo-tions offering financial support. The District agreed to give $250 in gift certifi-cates to the Prince Rupert Minor Hockey Associa-tion (PRMHA) to support a tournament the novice house division is hosting in the first week of March. Another $250 will be offered as a gift certificate to the Prince Rupert Middle School concert band for an ‘80s and ‘90s themed dance fundraiser and loo-nie auction that happened on Feb. 27 at the Moose Hall. The school is raising money to send 25 students to Edmonton’s Cantando Music Festival in April. Kristy Tillman, the band director, said the estimated cost will be $1,000 per student. “It’s the first time they’ve gone. This is my tenth year here and we always go to the music festival in Terrace and I thought maybe we’d go a bit further. Now is a good time, they’re performing well,” Till-man said. The manager at Community Futures Pacific North-west, John Farrell, also attended to announce that the Prince Rupert and District Chamber of Commerce will host a lunch on “responsible development and LNG”. The luncheon took place this past Tuesday, with Port Edward Mayor Dave MacDonald regrettably absent due to illness. “The trip over to Malaysia is what changed my mind,” MacDonald said at the council meeting add-ing he now feels better about liquefied natural gas

development coming to the area. Councillor Christine Mackenzie also spoke about attending another pro-industry lunch directed at en-couraging women to seek equal opportunities when industry, specifically LNG, comes to the North Coast. She was one of the speakers at the Women’s Leadership Network launch on Feb. 18 as a repre-sentative of the District. “I’m a believer in it. I see how things have changed when women get on boards and the growth for the boards and the look on mens’ faces, ‘oh I never thought of that’. I think that’s positive for industry, work and community,” Mackenzie said. She has been a councillor for 15 years and has worked with men on numerous boards and she is a strong believer that it can work. “I’ve done it.” “I hope that those women at home and those who can help our community step up and go and get any kind of extra training, build some confidence and just get back out there and be who you really are,” Mackenzie said. The councillors also discussed updates on the up-coming 50th anniversary of the District of Port Ed-ward being incorporated into the regional district. The North Pacific Cannery has been booked for dinner, dances and bands to throw a concert. Rupert band, Triple Bypass will be there, as well as a band from Texas. The East Indian dancers agreed to perform, and the District will also ask the Lion Dancers and First Nations dancers to come. There will be games for the children and people will be bused to the cannery. Planning began last summer, and there is still more fundraising before the event kicks off from June 24 - 25.

KITIMAT - The Kiti-mat Concert Association is proud to present Pa-tricia Cano at 8:00 pm, Friday, March 4, 2015 at the Mount Elizabeth Theatre.

Cano brings to Kitimat her particu-lar blend of Afro Peru-vian rhythms driven by the groove of jazz and the soul of folk and the blues!

Cano was born in Sudbury, Ontario where she grew up in a Peruvi-

an household.After graduating

from University of To-ronto with a degree in Theatre and Spanish Lit-erature, she spent five years working in Paris (France) with the world-renowned theatre com-pany Le Théâtre du So-leil, during which time she was sent to Seoul (South Korea) for three months to study tradi-tional South Korean folk singing and drumming.

After leaving the

French company, Cano spent seven months in Rio de Janeiro (Brazil) listening, playing, sing-ing and feeling her way through the exceptional Carioca music scene!

In 2009, Cano launched her singing career here at home in Canada with her debut album called, This is the New World.

Co-created in four languages with her Bra-zilian musical partner, Carlos Bernardo.

The album won “Best Album, Solo Art-ist” at the 2011 North Ontario Music & Film Award Conference.

Cano has also had a long and important ar-tistic collaboration with Tomson Highway, Can-ada’s premiere Cree playwright and compos-er.

Since 2001, Patri-cia has toured the world alongside Tomson High-way, singing and per-forming his songs and

stories in a one-woman cabaret.

From Montreal to Rio de Janeiro to Prague and beyond, this col-laboration has brought Tomson’s work to thou-sands of delighted fans.

In 2010/11, Cano was invited to join the National Arts Centre’s English Theatre Com-pany and in 2012, she starred in both a Peter-borough production, as well as a French Na-tional Arts Centre co-production, of Tomson Highway’s newest one-woman musical, The (Post) Mistress.

In May 2013, Cano closed the Montreal fes-tival and most recently performed at Luminato Festival in Toronto.

She is currently working on her second album.

Fuel Consumption TipAccelerating and braking hard is often called jackrabbiting and it doesn’t save much time either. Studies have shown that jackrabbiting saves only 2 1/2 minutes on a 60 minute trip, fuel consumption increases by 37 per cent and some toxic emissions were more than five times higher.

TERRACE - A man convicted of hunting il-legally in the Spatzizi Provincial Park was or-dered by court to turn over the ram he killed but said he couldn’t be-cause it had been stolen.

Jordan Patrick Garb-itt of Moberly Lake, B.C. was convicted in Dawson Creek Provin-cial Court on Febru-ary 24, 2016 for hunt-ing a stone sheep ram in Spatzizi Provincial Park without a Limited Entry Hunting Authorization.

The conviction stems from a two-year investigation where it was alleged that Garbitt and two other hunting partners flew into Cold-fish Lake, and killed a stone sheep ram in Sep-tember 2012.

Garbitt, who is a Treaty 8 Indian, claimed the ram was killed with-in the Treaty 8 area, which Spatzizi Park is not part of.

The judge sentenced Garbitt to a $1,000 fine and ordered that he pay an additional $3,500 to the Habitat Conserva-tion Trust Fund.

The judge further or-dered that Garbitt was prohibited in hunting anywhere outside of the

Treaty 8 area for a peri-od of one year, and that the ram was to be for-feited to the crown.

In court, Garbitt told the judge that the ram, which was a finished wall mount as shown in the photo, was stolen.

The Conservation Officer Service is ask-ing for the public’s as-sistance in locating this ram and would like to remind the public that rewards are sometimes available from outside agencies where assis-

tance is provided to an investigation.

The ram is perma-nently marked with Government PIN identi-fication number of H955 which is drilled into the rear of the left horn of the sheep.

The horns of sheep have their own charac-teristics and can some-times be identified simi-lar to fingerprints.

Information can be provided to the BC Conservation Officer Service by calling the

RAPP line at 1-877-952-7277.

Rupert Children’s Festival hits 25 yearsBy Kevin CampbellTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - For 25 years now, area organiz-ers have been delighting kids of all ages with one of Prince Rupert’s most popular festivals of the year, the Children’s Festival. Organized by Bev Killbery and the Prince Ru-pert Special Events Society, and sponsored by vari-ous businesses in town, this year’s Children’s Fest, taking place on Saturday, March 5 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., offers a whole host of games, activities, food and social fun that children, teens and adults alike can partake in. “Lazer Fish (laser tag) is going to be our enter-tainment for the event again. I think this will be the fourth year for them,” said Killbery this week. “It covers all ages of kids. It’s not just something for young kids and it’s not just something for older kids. It catches that middle section - probably [ages] six to 14. And the nice thing about Lazer Fish is they gear it so [the games are] age-appropriate when you go in,” Killbery added. Lazer Fish will take place at the Jim Cic-cone Civic Centre’s auditorium, with the rest of activities and games occurring in the civ-ic centre’s gymnasium across the hall. A bouncy castle, ‘Hammer ‘n Nails, a tattoo and face paint parlour, wall climbing, Good Times Games’ gaming booth and Angry Birds will all be returning for this year’s festivities. As well, Swirl Art will be making its 25th appear-ance, having been with Children’s Fest since the fes-tival’s very beginning days. And not only are the games fun and exciting for the wee ones, but they also teach participants valu-able lessons. “It’s something we try and attract all families to because a lot of the activities are fun, but they’ve also got a little bit of an educational aspect to them,” Kill-bery said. “‘Do not hit your thumb with the hammer’. That’s a good message everybody can use.” Good Times Games will be present at Children’s Fest with a table dedicated to card games, table-top games and participants will even have cosplaying opportunities to dress up as their favourite mythical hero or villain. Additionally, hot dogs, juice boxes, fruit and crackers and cheese trays will be on hand to be con-sumed by hungry festival goers, as well as Sno-Cones, cotton candy, popcorn and slushies. “Admission is by donation. The only costs that

will be associated is if you purchase something from the canteen. And it’s very reasonable - a hot dog and drink or juice box is around $2, something like that. The bouncy castle may be $2, just so we can keep track of how many kids are going in it, keep the sys-tem under control and so we can keep up the mainte-nance,” Killbery added. “I’d like to thank all the businesses and service organizations because we wouldn’t have lasted 25 years without their generosity in town, whether they’re giving us a donation of cash or services.”

KITIMAT - A bobcat/lynx MSc study is currently under way at the University of BC Okana-gan, in partnership with BC’s Ministry of Environment, and your help is needed.

The University and Minis-try are seeking photos of bob-cats and lynx captured by trail cameras, or conventional cam-eras, from all corners of the province and from all time pe-riods to help determine the cur-rent provincial distribution of

each species.Bobcats seem to be moving

northwards and into higher ele-vations, it is thought.

The photos do not have to be great photography - they just have to show a bobcat or a lynx, or even just a part of one.

Photos can be blurry or dark and don’t even have to clearly show which cat species is present.

When sending photos, please include both the date and location of each photo, with the location as specific as possi-ble, (most preferred is UTM or

LAT/LONG coordinates).If that information is not

available, then please provide the name of the nearest road or landmark (including distance and direction from road or land-mark), or nearest town (includ-ing distance and direction from town), or watershed or

Management Unit.Photos will be used for data

only (which species was where when) and will not influence management decisions regard-ing hunting/trapping bag limits or season dates.

Photos will not be pub-

lished or shared with anyone without permission, and pho-tographers will retain owner-ship of their photos.

Feel free to email any ques-tions or comments that you may have about this project to the address below.

The results of this study will be gladly shared with all those who are interested.

Please send photos, along with the date and location of each photo, to TJ Gooliaff at [email protected] or Dr. Kar-en Hodges at [email protected].

TERRACE -What has been one of the more promising planned liquefied natural gas (LNG) projects in the northwest has been shelved.

AltaGas of Cal-gary, the lead Canadian partner in the Douglas Channel LNG project planned for Kitimat, an-nounced Feb. 25 that it and its partners could not find anyone willing to buy the product.

“Globally, there is reduced demand for LNG and with a surplus of LNG in the market, and the consortium members were unable to secure offtake agree-ments,” AltaGas said in a corporate statement.

Prices now for LNG are around one-quarter of what they were just two years ago when LNG development fer-vour was at a peak in the region.

Although among the smaller of LNG projects at a projected 2.4 billion cubic metres of natural gas per year to be ex-ported, Douglas Chan-nel LNG was regarded as one of the more fea-sible.

It was not only less expensive, at a pro-jected $500 million, in comparison to the larger planned projects worth more than $10 billion, it would not have re-quired the construction of a natural gas pipeline because it would have been fed by the existing Pacific Northern Gas line.

The project would have seen natural gas super-cooled and liq-uefied for export on an Asian-built floating platform moored near Kitimat and connected to facilities on land owned by the Haisla Nation and leased to the project.

AltaGas had first formed a joint venture with Idemitsu, a leading Japanese energy com-pany, and then added partners EDF Trading, an energy provider, and Exmar NV, an in-ternational shipper of petroleum and other products, in developing Douglas Channel LNG.

Its projected market had been Japanese cus-tomers.

The entry point for AltaGas into B.C.’s po-

tential LNG industry began with its purchase of Pacific Northern Gas in late 2011 which pro-vided it with an existing natural gas pipeline.

It then took part in buying a first concept for a floating LNG plat-form near Kitimat out of bankruptcy nearly two years ago, using that as a base to revive the Douglas Channel LNG project.

Project economics aside, the project ran into a roadblock last fall when federal customs officials decided the imported LNG float-ing platform was a ship and tacked on an import duty which would have added $100 million to the project cost.

AltaGas then ap-pealed the decision and learned in early Febru-ary it was successful.

But that was not enough to salvage the project, said AltaGas in a statement.

“While this decision is positive, and bodes well for deployment of a similar floating lique-faction facilities in the future, the consortium had assumed a 0 per-

cent duty when it began developing the project,” the statement indicated.

The company did ex-press satisfaction with what had been achieved, despite the decision to shelve the project.

“The milestones achieved by the con-sortium, including the

permits and duty relief, help prove out the fea-sibility of developing a floating liquefaction fa-cility in British Colum-bia,” it said.

“Individual consor-tium members can work with other stakeholders if they so choose to de-termine whether a simi-

lar project can be devel-oped. AltaGas is very interested in working together or individually with Haisla and oth-ers to develop an LNG project.”

To date, AltaGas spent $24 million on the project.

Skeena NDP MLA

Robin Austin expressed disappointment at the news.

“There was an ex-pectation in Kitimat, now that Rio Tinto Alcan has finished its smelter, that this would go ahead,” he said.

Tom Harris and Friends provided music as entertainment.

Austin added that AltaGas and its partners may not have had the kind of deep pockets needed for a long-term investment.

“In all fairness to AltaGas, it is not one of the largest of the [energy] companies and just may not have had the capability to look at an investment which is 25, 30 or 40 years down the road,” he said.

“They just may have not been in a position to make such an investment.”

Austin was more con� dent that Shell, the lead-ing partner in the much larger LNG Canada project planned at Kitimat, has the kind of capital base re-quired.

“Shell may have postponed its [� nal investment] decision but it is still spending money,” said Aus-tin of site preparation and other work underway for LNG Canada.

Like Austin, Skeena NDP MP Nathan Cullen was also disappointed.

“I know we had lobbied hard for customs relief from the CBSA (the Canadian Border Services Agency) and had hoped that would help,” he said.

“We had really hoped one of these smaller proj-ects would go ahead but with the markets the way they are, when there is going to be a turnaround is anybody’s guess,” Cullen said.

The Haisla Nation would be have been a direct bene� ciary of Douglas Channel LNG and its chief councillor Ellis Ross was not surprised given cur-rent market conditions.

“We will continue to work closely with other project proponents such as LNG Canada as they continue towards making their own � nal invest-ment decision,” said Ross of the larger Shell-lead project planned for Kitimat.

“Despite this particular setback, the Haisla Na-tion still believes in the bene� ts for the economy and for our people in lique� ed natural gas projects, and will continue to encourage the British Colum-bia and Canadian governments to move quickly to capture this opportunity for the region.”

The shelving of Douglas Channel LNG also af-fects a second � oating platform project envisioned by AltaGas and its partners.

The project is called Triton LNG and it would also have been placed in the Kitimat area.

It would have been fed by a 24-inch pipeline to be built by PNG and commonly called the “looping project” or “twinning project” because its intended route from outside of Prince George to Kitimat would have closely paralleled the route of PNG’s existing 10-inch line.

“Triton was a phase two of Douglas Channel LNG. This project is on hold to be re-evaluated,” said AltaGas.

SPORTSInsideSmithers up-1 in CIHL finals By Xuyun ZengTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

SMITHERS - The Smithers Steelheads might have won game one in the best-of-three Central Interior Hockey League � nals against the Williams Lake Stampeders, but head coach Tom DeVries knows he cannot rest on his laurels yet.

“See, we don’t play Williams Lake a lot, so we don’t have that big rivalry like we would with Ter-race,” said DeVries. “But we do because we met in the � nals a few times and stuff like that, and they beat us a few times, and we beat them a few times.”

“You know, it’s still sweet to win.”The Steelheads beat the Stampeders 4-1 last Sat-

urday in an away game.“We had some fantastic goaltending from David

Little,” he said. “In the beginning of the game, they were kind of on us and the goalie made some good saves.”

Steelheads’ Mark Arnold scored the � rst goal early � rst period, but the Stampeders tied it up in the second. The Steelheads would then continue to wid-en the lead, ending up with a 4-1 victory.

Even a third period two-man power play advan-tage did not provide the opportunity for the Stam-peders to redeem themselves.

The game ended with the Steelheads making twice the number of shots on goal, with 28 as com-pared to the Stampeders’ 14.

“But, we haven’t won yet,” emphasizes DeVries.The Steelheads will face their East Division ri-

vals at the Civic Arena this weekend, and DeVries said viewers can expect a different kind of game than the phenomenal semi-� nals against Terrace.

“Just a different atmosphere,” he said. “Terrace plays a bit more physical, they like to hit more, and Williams Lake is more skilled, more puck move-ment, they’ve got some hockey players. In saying that, they’re still physical but not like Terrace is.”

DeVries is expecting the Stampeders to come up to Smithers with the best they can offer.

“They will come back this weekend with a good team and it’s not a gimme that’s for sure,” he said.

KITIMAT - Zachary Dumas and Kleanza Cathers from the Kitimat Marlins Swim Club were among the 489 swimmers who quali� ed to compete at the 2016 Speedo Western Nationals in Winnipeg with the best in western Canada.

Dumas and Cathers are both North-west BC regional record holders and swam against swimmers from 66 clubs in B.C., Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manito-ba and Ontario. Among the top stars were 2015 World Championship Team mem-bers and Pan Am Games medallists Hil-ary Caldwell of Swimming Canada High Performance Centre-Victoria and Russell Wood of Calgary in the backstroke, free-styler Jeremy Bagshaw of Victoria and breaststroker Kierra Smith of Kelowna, B.C.

Zachary Dumas, 16, competed in the youth (16 and under) for boys and had an excellent meet, � nishing as one of the top swimmers in the division.

His best result came in the 400 me-ter individual medley making the A � nal in the event (top eight), and placing sixth overall.

Dumas also placed eighth in the 1500 meter freestyle.

He made the B � nal (placing in top 9-16) in two more events with 11th in the 400 meter freestyle and 12th in the 200 meter butter� y.

Along the way Dumas broke � ve Northwest BC regional records in the 15 and over boys division.

He lowered his own records in the 400 im (by three seconds) and 1500 freestyle (by 20 seconds) and broke other swim-mers’ Northwest BC records in the 200 meter freestyle by one second, the 800 freestyle by three seconds and the 400 freestyle by six seconds.

The 400 meter freestyle was also the oldest record he broke, held by Kyle Nartz of Terrace from 1999.

Kleanza Cathers, 16, competed in the girls open division for girls 16 and over.

Unfortunately for Cathers, she caught a sickness one week before nationals and

lost seven pounds of mostly muscle.Her best result came in the 200 meter

Natasha and Jordan Johnson won the Mixed Bonspiel’s ‘A’ event with Maurice and Lisa Bulleid.

Team Bulleid wins first in mixed spielBy William GyeTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - The 65th An-nual Prince Rupert Mixed Bonspiel took place at the Prince Rupert Curling Club this past weekend.

With 22 teams battling it out in three divisions, there was enough good, healthy competition to go around. The four person teams had to consist of two men and two women.

The winning rink of the ‘A’ divi-sion included Terrace’s Skip Maurice Bulleid, and teammates Lisa Bulleid, Jordan Johnson, and Natasha Johnson. Maurice shared his thoughts:

“This is a fantastic place to come and curl, I love coming here. I’ve been coming here as much as possible for the last 20 years. I wish more people would come and enjoy it. This is the

second year in a row that I have won this event,” he said.

“We were pretty dominating in the round robin. The � nal was pretty one sided, until I made a miss at one end and let them back in the game, but luckily I had the hammer. I drew in my last rock for the win, it felt re-ally good. I have a great team, and it’s the � rst time we’ve been in a bonspiel together with these couples. They did amazing.”

The � nal score was 8-7 in the ‘A’ division � nal, but judging by the smiles from the participants and the busy bar area, results didn’t matter as much as everyone coming together, having fun, and competing.

The next event for the club will be the Marine Bonspiel March 11 - 13. Find the Prince Rupert Curling Club on Facebook for more information.

Kitimat hikers lost, then foundKITIMAT - On February 24, 2016 at approximatley 6pm a complaint of two lost hikers was reported to the Kitimat RCMP Detachment.

Two men contacted the Kiti-mat RCMP Detachment stating that they had gotten themselves disorientated in the darkness on Coho Flats trail in Kitimat and were unprepared for the elements and the darkness.

Through communication with their cellphones, two Kitimat RCMP members hiked into the trail in the darkness and located the men unharmed and escorted them out off the trail. The men were then taken home.

Both men were very appre-ciative of the member’s actions and apologetic stating that the darkness speed caught them by

surprise. Both men had the fore-thought to each bring a charged, although inactive cellphone.

(Note that cellphones, even without current plans or minutes, can still dial 911.)

The Kitimat RCMP remind the public to prepare for the ele-ments and weather at any time of year, even during short hiking trips.

Kitimat school gets approvalto teach music with iPadsBy Jackie LieuwenTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

KITIMAT - Mount Elizabeth Middle Secondary School will be offering a new music course to teach students how to electroni-cally create music on iPads.

The Coast Mountains School District approved the senior-level course last Wednesday, Feb. 24, and the school already has a full class set of iPads to use.

“Anytime we can offer our students another learning oppor-tunity that will engage and excite them, it is considered a worthy in-vestment,” said school district Su-perintendent Katherine McIntosh. of the course.

Students will use iPads and instruments to create original songs, present them to classmates

for peer assessment and do self-assessment of their music.

Offered to students Grades 9-12, the course “encourages stu-dents to explore the world of lyr-ics and modern music creation,” says the request for approval to the school district.

“The approach supports prob-lem solving, critical analysis, self-exploration, precise use of lan-guage, and precise use of sound (music).”

“It will allow students to ex-plore areas of music and language that is of interest to each individ-ual.”

This course is a follow up to the first Song & Music Creation course and will focus more on themes, collaboration, and post-production, perhaps creating a musical or a rock opera.

Students will explore tech-nologies and new apps to create music and, if they choose, they will be able to use traditional in-struments in conjunction with the iPads.

They will also learn to use dif-ferent apps to enhance their work and will learn to work together to help inspire and shape their cre-ativity.

They will have writing exer-cises to explore themes for their future songs and ways to tie their musical themes together.

They will also write lyrics, edit and proof them with feedback from classmates.

The course framework was developed by Dave Durrant in January this year, and will be of-fered in September if there are enough students interested.
