Strike couldextend schoolyear for someBy Jeff NagelTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
VICTORIA - Education minister Peter Fassbender says the province may take extraordinary steps to ensure se-nior secondary students’ school year is not cut short by the teachers’ strike.
That could mean adding days to the school calendar later in the year, he said, to ensure Grade 12 students in particular complete their courses and get all the marks they need.
“Do you put it on the end of the year? Do you take it out of Spring Break? Do you take it out of Christmas holidays? My staff are looking at all of the options,” Fass-bender said.
“It’s going to depend on how long this drags out. Whatever length of time it takes to get this settled, we will do everything we can to make sure the school year is kept whole for those students.”
Fassbender’s comments were made before he and BC Teachers’ Federation president Jim Iker disagreed on the idea of asking for binding arbitration to settle on wages and benefits so that schools would open while arbitration took place.
It’s unclear how the government would finance adding extra days of classes later when all of the $12 million per day in strike savings may be consumed by the province’s offer of $40-a-day payments to parents.
As of this week, close to 75 per cent of parents of eli-gible public school children age 12 and under had signed up for the $40 payments, which are expected to be made as a lump sum after the strike ends.
Other costs that the province continues to incur while schools are closed include salaries for school administra-tion as well as support staff with other unions that are eligible to be compensated for pay lost for not crossing teacher picket lines.
Payments to support staff not crossing teacher picket lines could hit $5 million a day once all their union locals ratify new contracts.
Education ministry officials said school districts would be consulted on any potential changes to the school year to mitigate the strike.
Talk of calendar adjustments is another sign of pos-sible long-term implications from the strike as the dispute enters what should have been the second week of classes for the new school year. Independent schools are starting to get more inquiries.

Digby surfaces as site for LNG developmentBy Shaun ThomasTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
PRINCE RUPERT -Residents of Prince Rupert can add Digby Island as a possible lo-cation for a liquefied natural gas export termi-nal on the North Coast.
Filings from Aurora LNG, which signed an exclusivity agreement for land at Grassy Point,
indicate the company is considering locating its terminal either near Lax Kw’alaams or on the southeast portion of Digby Island right at the entrance of the Prince Rupert harbour.
On the land, plans for the terminal would include up to four LNG trains capable of produc-ing between five and six million metric tonnes
per year. As well as the four
trains, plans for the ter-minal call for up to three 180,000 cubic me-tre LNG storage tanks and a flare system, with the site being powered by natural gas from the plant intake.
In terms of on-water infrastructure, the termi-nal would have a con-ventional trestle with up
to three berths for carri-ers.
While the diagrams included in the filing in-clude “safety zones” on the water, Prince Rupert Port Authority spokes-person Kris Schumacher said discussions about the berths and impacts on access to the harbour have yet to take place.
“The marine berth as proposed for the ter-
minal would require en-gagement with the port authority around fea-sibility and a water lot permit. Currently there is no such agreement and the port authority has had no input,” he said, noting the land it-self is not under the um-brella of the Prince Ru-pert Port Authority.
“The Prince Rupert Port Authority would
expect to engage with Aurora LNG in the near-term to discuss marine berth location and de-sign and ensure safe travel and access to the Prince Rupert harbour.”
To accommodate construction, the project would include an on-site work camp to house be-tween 4,000 and 5,000 workers in “motel-style” units. During the op-
erational phase, Aurora LNG said it will use the worker camp for up to 400 “permanent opera-tions and maintenance personnel” as well as provide a space for skills training and capacity building for the commu-nity.
Aurora LNG de-clined to comment, cit-ing the ongoing environ-mental assessment.
Liquor sign stymies council in Kitimat for awhileBy Cameron OrrTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
KITIMAT - A sign ad-vertising liquor sales at the store attached to the Ol’ Keg Pub caused some work for council but a solution has been set, although was not unanimous.
The property owners submitted a retroactive downtown revitalization area development permit (DRA-DP) after it was discovered the sign had been placed on District of Kitimat property.
Such permits are re-quired for new projects such as signs, and signs that do not advertise community events are
not permitted on District property.
Council earlier had directed staff to work with Elly Castilho and Ron Skuggedal on figur-ing out a solution to the sign, rather than simply grant or deny a permit at their last regular meet-ing.
The solution now is to give the permit with the conditions that the sign be moved on to pri-vate property, that the concrete blocks be cov-ered, the sign be land-scaped, and that the sign be removed in the win-ter.
Director of Planning and Community Devel-opment Gwen Sewell
said the sign would be removed at the end of September this year.
Mario Feldhoff moved for staff’s recom-mendation but Rob Gof-finet argued he wasn’t happy with the sign.
“When this first came to us there was the issue that the sign itself was not compliant with the other signs of busi-nesses in the general area and I believe one of the business people in public comment refer-enced that fact,” he said, saying the look of the sign hasn’t really been addressed.
“The most trou-bling part of this is the sign has to actually be
removed [in winter] be-cause it can’t stand the winter in Kitimat,” he said.
“Why would we ever site a sign that has to be taken down over the en-
tire winter?” he asked. “I think this sign has fundamental flaws and I would say it doesn’t fit in with the quality of signage everywhere else in the community.”
Feldhoff countered that council shouldn’t pick apart this issue.
“Lets not beat this to death,” he said, say-ing the conditions are reasonable, and were
endorsed by the Down-town Design Panel.
Goffinet voted against the recommen-dations but was outnum-bered with the remain-der of council in favour.

Five people were able to walk away from an accident that left an SUV submerged at the Prince Rupert wa-terfront.The vehicle was driving in the lot next to the old VIA Rail station at ap-proximately 12:30 a.m. on Sept. 3 when the driver lost control, sending the SUV over the banks of Rotary Water-front Park. There were no injuries reported, but Const. Matt Ericson said speed was a fac-tor and the driver was issued various Motor Vehicle Act violations.
PILT remains a hot topicBy Shaun ThomasTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
PRINCE RUPERT - A report from chief financial officer Corinne Bomb-en indicates the City of Prince Ru-pert and the Prince Rupert Port Au-thority (PRPA) remain far apart when it comes to what the PRPA should be paying in taxes.
“The city has received the Prince Rupert Port Authority’s 2014 pay-ment-in-lieu of tax (PILT) payment. The city’s share, the amount we no-tified the port to pay based on appli-cable mill rates and their assessment based on BC Assessment, was $1.675 million and this amount was approved in the 2014 budget. The amount the port has paid is $1.152 million ... this is $523,000 short of what was bud-geted,” she told council at the Sept. 2 meeting, noting the shortfall won’t af-fect taxpayers this year.
“Had the port not made another interim payment in relation to prior years while we continue to attempt to resolve our dispute regarding land
values, the city would be project-ing a deficit after this short payment. Currently we are not projecting a deficit.”
For its part, Prince Rupert Port Authority marketing and commu-nications officer Kris Schumach-er said the port authority provided a $1.7 million interim payment as the two sides work toward a deal on the PILT.
“The payment was specifically identified as interim due to the ongo-ing evaluation discussion between the City and PRPA ... the advanced pay-ments were a good faith gesture to en-sure that the time required resolving this issue did not cause the City and its taxpayers undue financial stress,” he said, noting the interim payments and PILT payment are only a portion of tax revenue generated from port-related activities.
“This amount does not include the property taxes paid by PRPA tenants, and does not include the Port Com-petitiveness Tax Grant paid by the B.C. Government.”

Students finally receive Enbridge moneyTERRACE - Seven months after Northwest Community College first accepted and then rejected $15,000 from Enbridge for student bursaries, the money is being distributed.
And, says an En-bridge official, it has increased the origi-nal $15,000 sum to $20,000.
In all, eight students from Terrace, Prince Rupert and Smithers enrolled in either the college’s trades, tech-nology, science and environmental pro-grams will each receive $2,500.
Enbridge has been heavily criticized for its plan to build the North-ern Gateway pipeline to carry crude oil from Al-berta through northern B.C. to a marine export terminal at Kitimat.
The original accep-tance of the money in early spring, which at the time followed col-lege policy, was heat-edly debated at a sub-sequent college board meeting with some members arguing that accepting the money would be wrong.
A majority of the
board members then passed a motion to re-turn the money.
But the college also pledged to assist in getting the money to students. Originally 71 students applied for the bursary money.
“Northwest Commu-nity College sent a letter to those students who had previously applied for the bursaries, giving them the contact infor-mation for the Enbridge contact where they could forward their ap-plications if they chose to pursue that option on their own,” said college communications direc-tor Sarah Zimmerman.
In the end, said En-bridge official Cath-erine Pennington, the company received eight applications and decid-ed to increase the num-ber of bursaries from a planned original six to eight so that every ap-plicant would receive one.
“We did that after receiving their applica-tions and reading their stories,” she said.
Pennington said it is Enbridge’s aim to pro-vide financial assistance to students in specific
fields which include environmental monitor-ing, technology, marine services and heavy duty equipment operation.
She noted that the college had accepted Enbridge money before to provide training to students and the bursary rejection was the first it had experienced.
Although the board turned down the money, Zimmerman said the
college does not sup-port or endorse any one project.
“With 71 students applying for that par-ticular set of bursaries, we recognized the need expressed by those stu-dents and did not want to leave them without follow up,” she said.
Pennington called the board’s decision to reject the money “a po-litical one.”
“I’d like to acknowl-edge the college staff in their assistance. Clearly we both wanted to sup-port students and we were able to do the right thing,” she said.
Zimmerman said a new college donations policy is being prepared and has yet to be con-sidered by the board.
That’s expected to happen soon when the board meets again.

Fishermen cry foul on allocationBy Shaun ThomasTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
PRINCE RUPERT - Joy Thorkel-son is wondering who will stand up for the commercial fishing in-dustry in light of another dismal season on the North Coast.
“The Skeena fishing story is, unfortunately, a sad one again this year. This season the De-partment of Fisheries predicted the Skeena run size to be 2.64 million sockeye. They allowed the commercial fleet to catch 474,081 sockeye or 18 per cent of the run,” she wrote in a let-ter indicating the United Fisher-men and Allied Workers’ Union is pushing for a 40 per cent al-lotment after approximately 1.9 million reached Babine Lake.
“A 40 per cent harvest would have given the commercial fleet a catch of one million sockeye instead of the 475,000 that DFO thought was enough. A 40 per cent harvest would have brought an ex-tra $6 million to fish-ermen and doubled shore-workers’ earn-ings. North Coast communities would be a-buzz.”
Thorkelson had the opportunity to raise some of her questions directly with government when the Ministry of Natural Resource’s fish and wildlife manager for the Skeena region, Dana Atagi, came before council on Sept. 2. Atagi said while the Department of Fisheries and Oceans was re-sponsible for opening and clos-
ing fisheries, the well-being of the commercial fishing industry
was a priority for the provincial govern-ment.
“One of the things in our policy document is that it recognizes the com-mercial industry and that the province, and the various sec-tors in the prov-ince, recognize that there are commer-cial objectives to be achieved and a bal-ance to be found to get the fish up the river and maintain a commercial fish-ery on the coast,” he said.
“It really is about the se-lective opportunities that will be available in the commercial
fishery that will ameliorate and achieve that balance. I don’t know how we get there, but we are not so naive to believe that there are equitable interests on both sides of the ledger.”
The lack of a commitment from the provincial representa-tives to policy change, however, didn’t create much reason for op-timism for Thorkelson.
“Is there somebody in the Province who is going to say that the commercial fishing industry also has a right to exist and that there needs to be a balance be-cause we have seen ... no balance within the ministry’s statements and policy,” she said.
“I was looking for a champion for the commercial fishing indus-try. I don’t expect to find a cham-pion for the commercial sector within the DFO, but I was hop-ing to find one somewhere in the province.”

Terrace hopefuls declareBy Josh MasseyTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
TERRACE - The demo-cratic process is kicking into gear again in Ter-race as candidates ramp up for the local govern-ment elections.
In addition to current city councillor Bruce Bidgood deciding to run for mayor and for-mer councillor Carol Leclerc seeking a return to municipal politics by also running for mayor, all of the current coun-cillors say they’ll be trying for re-election.
Veteran city coun-cillors Brian Downie and Lynne Christiansen have both announced their candidacies.
Downie says he’s looking forward to the November elections now that the city and area are experiencing an economic upswing.
“We are in an eco-nomic improvement, or boom if you like, and there are opportunities for Terrace and I am ex-ited about those oppor-tunities and I think there are some things we can do to guide develop-ment,” he said.
Christiansen said her candidacy provides continuity on city coun-cil. But she also wel-comed other candidates.
“Always good to have some change,” she said.
Other city council-lors running again are James Cordeiro and Stacey Tyers.
There’s a guarantee of at least two new fac-es on the six-seat city councillor complement.
Bidgood’s decision to run for mayor opens up his council seat.
And Marylin Da-vies resigned earlier this year and has since moved away.
The mayor’s chair became open this spring
when current mayor Dave Pernarowski said he wouldn’t be running.THE CITY of Terrace is hosting an informa-tion night for those in-terested in running for municipal office in this November’s local gov-ernment elections.
It’s being held Sept. 25 at city hall.
Available will be in-formation on how the nomination process works and what’s re-quired to be a city coun-cillor.
Included will be the ins and outs of cam-paign financing. Elec-tions this November are for four-year terms, an increase of one year over previous terms.

Pulp mill buildings to be torn downBy Shaun ThomasTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
PRINCE RUPERT - After nearly five years under the ownership of the City of Prince Rupert, a con-tract has been awarded to remove and dismantle sev-eral buildings at the former Watson Island pulp mill site.
At the Sept. 2 meeting, council announced that they had awarded the contract for work at the site to Stantec Engineering. The company should be begin-ning work this winter.
“It is anticipated we will see some buildings come down in the new year ... most of the buildings will come down, but some will be left standing be-cause they can have other uses, such as the admin-istration building,” explained Prince Rupert Mayor Jack Mussallem.
“This is very important in terms of redeveloping Watson Island and the goal of supporting new indus-try and new jobs.”
The total value of the contract is $220,000, but Mussallem said residents of Prince Rupert won’t be left footing the bill.
“The money was put up by Sun Wave Forest Products as part of the settlement with the city,” he said, noting there may be an opportunity to recoup some money the city had previously spent.
“There is some equipment on-site that is of val-ue to the pulp industry and there have been inquiries about that.”
As for the work itself, Mussallem told council it would not be easy going for Stantec.
“This is a particularly challenging job because when the mill was shut down in 2001, the mill was never decommissioned. It was shut down with the intention that it would be up and running within 30 to 45 days and, of course, that never happened,” he said.

Orca LNG proposes terminal near RupertBy Shaun ThomasTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
PRINCE RUPERT - Another company planning to export liquefied natural gas is turning its attention to the North Coast
Orca LNG submitted its application to the National En-ergy Board for a licence to ex-port 24 million metric tonnes
per annum (mtpa) of LNG for 25 years from a yet-to-be-deter-mined location “in the vicinity of Prince Rupert”.
“The project is planned to consist of six floating lique-faction storage and offloading (FLNG) vessels, permanently moored near-shore as they be-come available and are placed into operation,” reads the com-
pany’s filing.“Each FLNG vessel is ex-
pected to have liquefaction ca-pabilities, LNG storage capac-ity of 250,000 cubic meters, and be able to deliver LNG to off-taking LNG carriers by uti-lizing a ship-to-ship process. Each vessel will be able to liq-uefy approximately 4-5 mtpa of LNG.”
Orca LNG is expecting to commence exports in 2019 with one vessel. The number of ships would calling on the ter-minal would increase as con-struction of additional FLNG vessels is completed.
Although Orca LNG is in discussion with “several pipe-line companies” to supply the gas to the coast.

This Rio Tinto Alcan committee typically meets on a quarterly basis in Kitimat and is open to representatives of local community organizations, agencies and not-for-profit associations.
If your organization is interested in this opportunity, please submit an expression of interest to [email protected].
Invitation for new membersRio Tinto Alcan wishes to expand the membership of its Public Advisory Committee.
Two men attempting to lure young women into vehiclesTERRACE - Terrace RCMP have received concerning reports of two men propositioning young women that are walking around town.
The first man is de-scribed as Caucasian be-tween 35 and 45 yrs of age driving a red truck that may be a Dodge. The second man is also Caucasian in his mid 30’s driving a blue/grey truck. The men are at-tempting to lure woman by offering a ride and inviting them into their truck.
There may be more women out there who have experienced this in the past couple of days and we encourage them to call us, says Cst Lori Foster, general duty Ter-race RCMP.
The following points are things that everyone should know:
Awareness: Your first line of defense. Most people think of kicks to the groin and blocking punches when they hear the term self-defense. However, true self-defense begins long before any actual physi-cal contact. The first, and probably most im-portant, component in self-defense is aware-
ness: awareness of your-self, your surroundings,
and a potential attacker’s likely strategies. Often,
a criminal’s strategy is to use the advantage of
surprise. Studies have shown that criminals are
adept at choosing tar-gets that appear to be un-
aware of what is going on around them.

Remember to recycle …
CAITLIN CLOW / THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
TERRACE - The importance of recycling was brought home to the area thanks to a visit by Tiffany, left, and Tori, right, dubbed the BC Recycling Ambassadors. Their visit to Terrace took place as par of a 17-week province wide program to promote sustainable recycling practices. Altogether there were four ambassadors touring various parts of the province to raise awareness of the hazards of used tires, oil, antifreeze, batteries, medication and house-hold waste as well as the beneftis of recycling and reusing. As an example, any petroleum or synthetic crankcase oil, engine oil, hydraulic fluid, transmission fluid, gear oil, heat trans-fer fluid or other fluid used for lubricating purposes in machinery or in equipment can be recycled. Spin-on or element oil filters, including diesel fuel filters but not gasoline fuel filters can also be recycled by being taken to accredited drop off locations.
NDP remain cautiouson LNG developmentsTERRACE - The provincial opposi-tion’s newest point man on liquefied natural gas remains confident there will be some form of the industry in B.C. but he’s not convinced it will be as large as what’s being envisioned by the B.C. Liberal government.
Bruce Ralston, the NDP MLA for Whalley-Surrey, was on a tour of the region recently after having been given the LNG watchdog role by op-position leader John Horgan.
“B.C. does have some advantages, we can bring strong assets to the ta-ble, but the companies with projects here also have projects elsewhere and there’s competition within those com-panies,” said Ralston.
“They think nothing of spending $500 million on a project but if there’s one more attractive somewhere else, that’s where they’ll go,” he said.
Ralston noted that the rapid de-velopment of new technology has resulted in the discovery of natural gas in many parts of the world so that companies now have many options to explore.
And he said the rising costs of de-veloping any kind of LNG industry where budgets are calculated in the
multiple billions of dollars must also be considered.
“Apache, which is not a small company by any means, now wants out [of Kitimat LNG],” said Ralston in referring to one of the two projects under consideration in Kitimat.
Apache, which is partnered with Chevron on Kitimat LNG, also wants to sell a stake it has in a large Aus-tralian LNG project which is near completion.
The challenge with Kitimat LNG, Ralston continued, is that the project has yet to sign up customers.
That’s in contrast to Canada LNG, the other major project under consid-eration in Kitimat which has Shell as a majority owner.
There, Ralston said Shell has three Asian partners who are also gas con-sumers. Still, Ralston added, the B.C. Liberal’s earlier timetable, promoted during the 2013 provincial election, of having LNG plant construction un-derway by 2015, likely won’t be met.
Crucial to any eventual decision made by any LNG company is the provincial tax regime, finalization of which has been delayed several times, he said.

Canada’s Pipelines
KEEPING CANADA’SENERGY HIGHWAYS SAFE
HOW PIPELINE COMPANIES ARE TAKING STANDARDS TO A NEW LEVEL
Pipelines – known as energy highways – are vital to our country’s energy infrastructure.
Without them, we wouldn’t be able to do many of our daily activities, like travelling or heating our homes.
That’s why it’s critical pipelines are efficient and safe – we need them to reliably deliver 80 per cent of the oil and gas products Canadians use.
Canada’s pipeline companies carefully follow a strict set of standards and regulations and use sophisticated equipment at every phase of a pipeline’s life – from design and construction to operations, maintenance and emergency response plans.
These measures and innovative practices allow Canada’s pipeline industry to boast a 99.999 per cent* safety record.
But we’re not stopping there. We’re committed to zero incidents; to reach it, we are focusing on new pipeline innovation, employee safety and emergency management through an industry led program, CEPA Integrity First®.
Safety doesn’t just influence our plans, processes and standards – it defines them. It is the top priority of our industry, now and in the future.
Learn more about Canada’s pipelines and our safety standards.

Street View coming to Gwaii HaanasBy Shaun ThomasTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
SKIDEGATE - People from around the world will soon be able to take in the majestic sites of Gwaii Haa-nas National Park from the comfort of their own homes.
Parks Canada staff will be spending the next week capturing some of the park’s natural beauty with the Google “Trekker”, which will allow Gwaii Haanas to be a part of the Google Street View program.
“It’s essentially a backpack with a camera overhead that captures 360-degree 3D images, so we will have people walking
through some signi� cant areas and capturing those images,” said super-intendent Ernie Gladstone, pointing to K’uuna Llnaagaay, T’aanuu Ll-nagaay, Hlk’yah GaawGa, Gandll K’in Gwaay.yaay and SGang Gwaay as just some of the sites to be visited.
“A lot of people don’t get to see Gwaii Haanas in person be-cause it is so remote and, for some, expensive to get to so this will allow people to see it from a visitor point of view and, we hope, inspire more people to
come.”The equipment is coming to the
islands as part of a partnership be-tween Parks Canada and Google, a partnership that has also included Google Street View equipment cap-turing areas in Gulf Islands Nation-al Park Reserve and Glacier Nation-al Park for Google Maps.
“We’re very fortunate to be able to use this equipment in Gwaii Haa-nas,” said Gladstone.
“It will be an opportunity for us to bring Gwaii Haanas to people wherever they may be.”

Mayor to CityWest: Drop fee for billsBy Shaun ThomasTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
PRINCE RUPERT- Prince Rupert Mayor Jack Mussallem is call-ing on CityWest to re-move the $2 fee for those wanting paper bills.
“We have got se-niors and others on � xed income and none of them as subscribers, made a decision to have City West use computers and put them at a disad-vantage where it would cost them additional money per month be-cause they want a paper statement,” he said at the Sept. 2 council meeting.
While Coun. Barry Cunningham noted City-West has a list of people without Internet who won’t be charged for pa-per bills and anyone can go to the of� ce and add their name, Mayor Mus-sallem said that wasn’t good enough.
“I think it is totally unfair that the onus is put on the subscriber. I would prefer, as we are the representative of the shareholders of that corporation, that our city manager goes back to board of directors and the staff. The onus shouldn’t be on the sub-scriber. I think it’s total-ly unfair,” he said.
On Aug. 28, a num-ber of companies that charge paper bill fees agreed to provide ex-emptions for customers who have no personal or home broadband con-nection, persons with disabilities who need a paper bill, seniors aged 65 and over and veterans of the Canadian Armed Forces.
CityWest declined to comment.

SPORTSInsideCopson twowheelsBy Cameron OrrTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
KITIMAT - A lengthy, exhausting, but worth-while bike ride will be stopping in Kitimat in the coming week.
The Cops for Cancer bike ride is on the way, with a September 16 stop in Kitimat.
Since we last report-ed on the event Kitimat’s champion for the ride, Cst. Rob Buller, has had a chance in circumstanc-es.
Perhaps some-one mentioned the ride would feel like corporal punishment which gave him ideas, but Buller has been given the nod to the corporal rank, but that rise comes with a new detachment away from Kitimat.
In this time of transi-tion, in steps Cpl. Chris Manseau, an alumni of the bike ride, who’ll � ll in as a Kitimat repre-sentative on the Kitimat stretch of the ride.
Buller meanwhile is listed as having already raised $1,383.35 accord-ing to the Cops for Can-cer Tour de North web page, which could very well be a low estimate to how much has actually been raised.
On September 16 the Kitimat RCMP de-tachment will be holding an outdoor reception at 6 p.m. to welcome the rid-ers in to town, and any-one in the community is welcome to come as well to give the riders a Kitimat welcome.
The ride will con-clude on September 18 in Prince Rupert.
The cyclists will also be stopping in Ter-race on Sept. 17 where they will be hosted by Terrace Totem Ford at a steak dinner being held in the dealership’s show-room.
The longest stretch of the tour is from Ha-zelton to Kitimat, a dis-tance of 195 kilometres. A shorter cycle takes place the day before, 75 kilometres from Smith-ers through Moricetown to Hazelton.

Concussion prevention urgedBy Josh MasseyTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
TERRACE - The Cityof Terrace is sponsor-ing a sports clinic that focuses on the latest information related to preventing, diagnosing and treating concus-sions and other inju-ries.
The evening course will be hosted by the non-pro� t organization SportsMed BC and is divided into two sec-tions: Concussion and SportsSmart.
Organizer Al-exandra Sojo said SportsMed has the 2015 Canada Winter Games being held in Prince George in mind in administering the program.
“We are targeting volunteers in the Can-ada Winter Games,” said Sojo. “We want to make sure they all have a knowledge of sports safety and best prac-tice.”
But the course is
also for anyone over the age of 16 – par-ents, coaches, of� cials, athletes – anyone who works in the sports sec-tor.
“We have Kevin Phillips who is a certi-� ed athletic therapist and has great experi-ence in many different sports and is going to be the one on the front line disseminating the information,” Sojo said.
“There is a grey area of what a concussion is,” Sojo continued.
“The � rst course of the evening shows what the medical es-tablishment does know, and presents the latest research and best prac-tices in the sport indus-try and medical sector.”
“Concussions are a possibility in high risk sport like hockey and rugby,” she said.
The second section is called SportSmart and focuses on how to properly warm up and cool down, and proper
training methods: “The things that can happen and how to prevent them.”
The two courses will be given in a lec-ture- style presentation with a PowerPoint pre-sentation and a ques-tion and answer period led by Kevin Phillips, who according to Sojo, has a ton of experience in a multitude of injury situations.
The City of Terrace is paying the entry fee for residents and also offering a room at the Sportsplex for free.
“This is a city spon-sorship for these work-shops because we rec-ognize the importance of concussion and in-jury prevention for our facility users – whether it is in the arena or on the � eld,” said city spokesperson Alisa Thompson.
The Concussion Management Work-shop is happening from 6-7:30 p.m. on Mon-day, Sept. 15. Right af-
ter that, there will be a SportSmart Workshop from 8-9:30 p.m.
SportMed BC is also hosting an all-day, pay-to-participate tap-ing workshop on the Sunday before.
“It’s an intro on how to tape for athletic pur-poses. When to tape, when not to tape for injuries, ankles and knees, a basic under-standing of the dos and don’ts of taping, what kinds of tape to use, and how to use them,” said Sojo, adding that participants are being asked to wear athletic clothing for the hands-on lessons.
Those interested in either workshop are asked to phone the city at 250-615-3000.
Concussions have affected the careers and playing abilities of everyone from the ca-sual amateur weekend sports warrior to highly trained professional athletes such as Sidney Crosby.
CONTRIBUED / THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
Concussions can be suffered in many different forms in many different types of circumstances.
Holkestad claims Rupert championshipBy Kevin CampbellTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
PRINCE RUPERT - As the saying goes, you can never get bored of win-ning.
It’s certainly true for Rose Holkestad, who captured the Prince Rupert Ladies Club Championship over the weekend with a terri� c 36-hole low gross score of 174 including a � rst day 18-hole total of 86.
“[Saturday’s] back nine I shot a 39; best game I’ve played all year,” said Holkestad.
“I just played well. Everything came to-gether and my putts were great and all my hits were good. It just all came together really well.”
Holkestad has been on a tear on the greens lately.
In the past two years alone, the ace has won the 2013 and 2014 Vic Marion Senior’s Open women’s title and took
the 2013 Ladies’ Jubi-lee low net along with many other achieve-ments at the Rupert Golf Club.
Holkestad shot a birdie on Saturday’s 17th hole and played together with Selma Standring and Jean Eby while on Sunday, she putted with Karin Wil-liamson, Janet Shep-pard and Aina Pettersen.
But does she get used to the low scores?
“No, no,” Holkestad dismissed.
“Golf is one of those games where you can go out and think you have it all together and it completely blows up on you, so it’s just one of those games where you never know what you’re going to play.”
First-overall low-net went to Dorothy Wharton who was very consistent over both days, scoring a net of 142 off a score of 218.
Maria Wells won the second low-net with
a 155 off of a gross of 215. Third and fourth low net went to Eby and Standring who notched low nets of 161 and 162 off grosses of 217 and 220 respectively.
“I think we’re more encouraging [with each
other],” said Holkes-tad of the club champi-onship, since everyone knows each other quite well.
“You can sort of tell whether or not some-one is playing well or if they’re struggling a lit-
tle bit.”Thirteen partici-
pants took to the greens on the weekend includ-ing Holkestad, Eby, Standring, Wharton, Williamson, Sheppard, Wells, Pettersen, Carol Schaeffer, Carol Bry-
ant, Josie Lam, Annette Richards and Linda Miller.
The golfers battled through drizzly and wet typical coastal condi-tions on Sunday to � n-ish out the champion-ship.

Airport receives welcome boostBy Josh MasseyTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
TERRACE - The North-west Regional Airport is getting $250,000 to help with its planned $15 million terminal ex-pansion project.
The money from the Northern Development Initiative Trust was an-nounced Sept. 3 at a ceremony held at the airport.
To start this fall, the expansion project will feature a new check-in hall, an expanded wait room for passengers, an easier way to check baggage, a new secu-rity screening area, new check in area and new of� ces for resident air-lines.
“The Magi from the east have come with gifts three months be-fore Christmas,” Ron Burnett, President of the Terrace-Kitimat Airport Society, said.
Earlier this year, the trust provided $250,000 to help � nance a $1 mil-lion third aircraft park-ing stand. This new allocation is to be ef-fective in the next � scal year.
“Thank you for
the second grant of $250,000 this year,” Burnett continued. “We are recognized as being on the right track.”
He said the airport is now awaiting bids on the planned fall start to the terminal expansion project.
Of� cials from the Northern Development Trust called the event a celebration of the 1,500th project they have helped � nancially.
Airport manager Carman Hendry says
the � rst upgrades to roll out will be to the check-in hall, baggage area and new airline of� ces.
July’s passenger � g-ures at the Northwest Regional Airport con-� rm the need for the terminal expansion, says Hendry. Airport statistics show 23,267 passengers using sched-uled � ights in July, the highest monthly total on record yet.
The year to date passenger � gure as of the end of July was
144,404, meaning that the airport will have no trouble topping the 2013 calendar year total of 177,294 by the end of this month and comfort-ably exceed the 200,000 � gure by the end of the year. “And that’s for scheduled � ights. We don’t count charter [passenger] numbers,” said Hendry.
An expansion of the long term parking lot from just over 300 spots to 800 will be done be-fore winter.
