FINANCE RATES STARTING AT 4.9 OAC
PRINCE RUPERT - Northwest BC has the highest unemployment rate in the province, according to stats released on August 10 by the Ministry of Jobs, Tourism and Innovation, and it is the only region in BC in double digits. The unemployment rate for the North Coast and Nechako region, which covers just west of Vanderhoof to Haida Gwaii, was 11.9 per cent this July. That number was down slightly from the 12.2 per cent in June but is the third highest rate this year. When compared to last July’s 7.7 per cent unemployment figure, the number is up 4.2 per

cent. For the first six months of 2012 the average unemployment rate in the region was 11.9 per cent compared to 8.2 per cent for the first six months of 2011. In terms of the number of people employed, that figure has fallen from 44,300 last July to 38,400, a loss of 5,900 employed people in the northwest, while 500 jobs were lost from June to July. So far this year the number of people employed in the region is down 7.9 per cent while provincially the figure has risen 1.9 per cent. “We will have our team take a much closer look at the North Coast and Nechako region to see where this is occurring and how we can ad-

dress it...We know that the loss of jobs is not actually the case with what is happening in Kitimat and with the port activity in Prince Rupert. I was in Terrace recently and didn’t see this as the case,� said minister Pat Bell, noting that the size of the region makes it difficult to pinpoint where the job loss and high unemployment is occurring. “It is a cause for concern, particularly given the level of economic activity that is taking place in the region.� The next highest unemployment rate is in the Cariboo, which has an unemployment rate of 8.1 per cent, followed by the Kootenay region at 6.8 per cent. The lowest unemployment rate
in the province was in the northeast, with an unemployment rate of 4.3 per cent. The provincial number is at 6.9 per cent, which is down from last July’s 7.3 per cent figure. Statistics Canada compiles its information for the northwest by interviewing people over the age of 15 from the north coast to just west of Vanderhoof and is not a reflection of those collecting Employment Insurance. Those considering themselves part of the workforce are people with a job or who are looking for work. People withdraw from the workforce for any number of reasons, not all of which are associated with having a job or not.

Dog lovers rally for transfer to Kitimat TERRACE - A drive to get a dog moved to better living conditions took to the boardroom as supporters rallied to make their voices heard at the regional district meeting Aug. 10. Dog owner Paul MacNeil asked the regional district board to let his German shepherd Cain be moved from the Thornhill animal shelter to the Kitimat Humane Society where he and his supporters believe the canine would have better care until its trial day in December. He explained that Cain bit a child when cornered after being chased down the street by children with hockey sticks and three diesel trucks. The child’s skin wasn’t broken, he wasn’t taken to the hospital, didn’t have a bandaid put on and later on that same day was playing in his backyard, said MacNeil. “He did bite [the child and I’m not excusing that] but the Thornhill pound is not the place for a dog to be for a long time,� said MacNeil, adding he didn’t want to debate the case but just wanted his dog moved to the Kitimat shelter. Cain is in a four foot by 10 foot kennel and he’s an 85 pound German shepherd, said MacNeil. “I’m not allowed to see my dog on my terms,� he said. The Thornhill animal shelter is open from 12:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. and he works from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m., he explained, adding that Cain passed an assessment for his temperament that was videotaped by dog trainer Kelly Ruff. Phyllis Gregg of Kitimat, who came up to help support MacNeil, said the Kitimat Humane Society was willing to take the dog and work with it as it had a lot of success rehabilitating dogs and would sign papers saying it would take full responsibility for the canine. If provincial court doesn’t order the dog destroyed, Cain can have a second chance and go to one of the German shepherd rescue groups that the shelter works with,
she said. The group can then find the dog a suitable home, she added. Earlier in the day, regional district bylaw enforcement officer Murray Daly confirmed the dog was seized in April and said bylaw was seeking a destruction order for the dog. Daly didn’t want to speak about specifics of the case but did comment on the shelter keeping Cain. “I will say the dog is in our possession and until we’re ordered to do so by a judge, it’s not leaving our possession,� he said. “The dog is not being treated inhumanely,� he added, saying Cain was being fed and watered. “It receives all the treatment it would probably get at the Kitimat shelter.� Commenting on the size of Cain’s current kennel, Daly said that Cain’s kennel is an inside and outside kennel and Cain does go outside into “a small containment area.� “It’s a vicious dog in there (shelter) for obvious reasons,� he said, adding that for safety reasons, staff wasn’t going to take it out, let it run loose or take it for a walk. There were witness reports and the police report as to what hap-
pened and the dog fell under the criteria of the regional district bylaws and Community Charter to hold him. An assessment on the dog has been done but since the case is before the courts, Daly couldn’t go into detail. The owner hasn’t been denied visitation and has been instructed about the steps he needs to take to see the dog, said Daly. “We don’t want him [just] showing up at the shelter,� said Daly, adding it’s a legal matter so certain protocols are in place. Kelly Ruff, owner of Diamonds in the Ruff Canine Training, said she assessed Cain and videotaped it. She said Daly and Stacey Kennedy, animal control officer of the Thornhill Animal Shelter watched the assessment; she offered them a copy of her videotape but they declined it. While not going into specifics of what she learned from the assessment, she said MacNeil indicated he would agree to her findings. “He told me if I went into an assessment and I felt the dog was aggressive, he would put the dog down,� said Ruff. The behaviour dogs show when they’re in kennels for a long time depends on the individual animal, she said.

Some of the protestors who came out to ask for Cain’s transfer from the Thornhill animal shelter to the Kitimat shelter included from left, Kelly Wafzig, Elizabeth Dricos and Alana Dricos. Dog lovers from Page 2
Protestors say dog better off in Kitimat animal shelter “Generally, you see increased barking. You can see increased aggression,” she said, adding dogs protect the area they’re in and the smaller the area the more fiercely they protect it. Some dogs will become depressed, and can have health issues with weight gain if they don’t get exercise, she said. If a dog in a kennel gets a significant amount of exercise it can use up its excess energy, which otherwise can turn into problems if not used up.
And it’s not only about exercising the body, it’s also about exercising the dog’s mind, she said. For example, herding dogs like Cain are thinking dogs and they have to have interaction and things to think about, she said. “Dogs are pack animals. When you have one basically in solitary confinement, it’s not part of their genetic makeup,” she said. A lot of times, shelter staff have to euthanize an animal at some point because the dogs can’t stand being there any longer, she
added. “You know how you react to any amount of time at a kennel so think of the dog in there,” she said about the constant barking and how it can be bothersome. She added that every pound or shelter isn’t the same; some are set up for long-term care and others aren’t. After his presentation to the regional district board, MacNeil walked outside with is arms in the air as in victory. He told his supporters he felt “really good” about how it went.

Pr. Rupert school board holds vote on Port Edward school By Shaun Thomas THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
PRINCE RUPERT - The Board of Education of the Prince Rupert School District will be meeting tomorrow night to formalize leasing agreements related to the school in Port Edward. To keep the school operational for the coming year is a bit more complicated than just having the students return. The School District will be closing the school at 633 Sunset Drive on August 31, and an agreement has been drafted up for the District of Port Edward to lease the school building until September 1, 2013 when the new school is expected to be complete and open.

Cops for Cancer holding Jail and Bail By Contributed THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
PRINCE RUPERT - On Saturday August 25th, 2012, between 10 a.m. and five p.m., the Cops for Cancer “Tour de North” will be holding a “Jail and Bail” fundraiser in Cow Bay. For this event, local business owners, community “celebrities” and community members will be “arrested” for various offences and transported to a “jail” located in Cow Bay near the Atlin Terminal. Once there, the “prisoner” will have to make “bail” by contacting family, friends and co-workers to raise enough donations to gain their release. Each “prisoner” will have a pre-determined “bail” set but are encouraged to raise more money if possible. Businesses in Prince Rupert have shown their support of this fundraiser through their generous donation of goods and services. The business owners in Cow Bay have donated various goods and services which will be raffled
off on the day of the event. Home Hardware, Rona, General Paints and Jim West Signs have donated materials to construct the jail and Safeway and Overwaitea have donated food and beverages which will be available for purchase. The Prince Rupert riders, Bob Killbery and Jennifer Collins, would like to thank all of the business supporting this project. All monies raised goes to the Canadian Cancer Society, funding not only pediatric cancer treatment and research but also facilities like Camp Goodtimes. Anyone interested in nominating a person for “arrest” or volunteering at the event please contact Constable Jennifer Collins at 250-627-0700 or cellular 250-600-1377. Nominations will close on August 22, 2012. The “Tour de North” assists the Canadian Cancer Society by raising money in support of pediatric cancer research, treatment and education.

Houston drags are a weekend go By Ed Evans THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
PRINCE RUPERT This weekend marks the start of a new era at the annual Houston Drags. After the organizers of the previous 15 years of racing at the Houston Airport decided pack it in and to cancel the race, a new group has come forward to start a new race. This group has had to work hard to get the race going again as they had to apply to the Agricultural land reserve to get permission to run a drag race at the airport. This was overlooked in the previous 15 years. Permission was given to the group a few weeks ago and everything that needed to be done behind the scenes to get the race up and running has been done and racing is set to go this weekend. Organizers didn’t have much time to get sponsors or prizes but

Task force conducts a ferry study By Sean Glanville THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
KITIMAT - A feasibility study is now underway for a proposed ferry service based out of Kitimat. The proposed project would provide an inter-coastal ferry services from Kitimat to and from the remote villages of Hartley Bay, Klemtu and Bella Bella as destinations. A local task force has recently completed a feasibility study, which they have sent to various B.C. Ministries. Kitimat Mayor Joanne Monaghan mentions that the next step is bringing this proposal to the Ministries involved
and getting their guidance. “We hope the government departments will be able to provide feedback on the proposed project as well as some funding,” said Monaghan. Monaghan feels access to ferry transportation would be a huge step forward for people living in the villages as it would put them in reach of necessary educational and employment opportunities along with basic amenities. “Ferry service would provide a means of reaching educational facilities in Kitimat and access to finding jobs in Kitimat as there is plenty of unemployment in the villages,” said Monaghan.
Ferry service would also provide essential medical treatment and allow seafood to reach market quicker. “Service would also allow access to hospital and medical supplies for places such as Klemtu, Bella Bella and Hartley Bay and additionally supply food for their crustacean farms and getting the product to market quickly.” Monaghan mentions that the task force that produced the student was funded through the Northern Development Initiative Trust and the feasibility study which was completed last week suggests the ferry would run three days a week. At this stage, the main con-
cern is getting the ferry service up and running and Monaghan mentions ideas such as incorporating industry or tourism are not a main concern at this point. “The service will have very little to do with tourism or industry at this stage. Perhaps down the road if the villages want to incorporate some type of cultural tourism that may work for them in the future,” explained Monaghan. Monaghan also notes as far as industry is concerned, the ferry service could perhaps provide transportation of workers and goods to projects in the area at some point.

Public market opening a huge success By Sean Glanville THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
KITIMAT - Around 500 people dropped by the Kitimat Public Market during its trial opening Sunday. It was a major success as 35 vendors from across the North West sold their goods. “We were thrilled with the turnout, it was so successful many of the vendors actually ran out of food,” said Kitimat Food-share and Community Services Coordinator Elizabeth Botz. “It was a really carnivallike atmosphere and we had a number of people sitting on the grass eating their lunch. People were coming down in droves and we got a lot of the afterchurch crowd.” Local dignitaries including Mayor Joanne Monaghan and Councilor Rob Goffinet were on hand for the event.
“I thought it went well, thanks to the organizers and hopefully this can continue. It’s a great addition to Kitimat,” said Monaghan. The public market is scheduled for every second Sunday from 11am – 3pm at Mountainview Square. The official grand opening event will be held at the next public market in two weeks. They hope to run this summer and fall up until Sunday, October 7 weather permitting. Next year they hope to open some time in April as insurance and liability issues caused them to delay the opening this year until Sunday. There have been farmers markets in Kitimat in the past unable to be sustained primarily due to being entirely volunteer-based. With the current public market there are a number of organizations involved and funding from the commu-
nity to help ensure long-term success. “In the past the public market was completely volunteerbased and this time with the Kitimat Community Services (KCS) and food-share programs the organization aspect is much easier since it’s not all volunteer,” said Botz. The KCS is working with the District of Kitimat on the foodshare program, public market, and are in the organizational stages of building a community garden. “This three step strategy is all part of our goal to help end poverty in Kitimat,” said Botz. “When we presented to Council they gave us their full support to work with their planners.” Botz mentioned she hopes the new community garden will also be located near Mountainview Square with its
ideal location. “We like the idea of having it at Mountainview Square as it’s so central and near the hospital so we could have some raised garden beds for the patients to enjoy.” Some of the vendors included Happy Pick Organic Farm from Smithers, Vegan Fibres of Terrace, Missy-Lou Handbags and Accessories, Woolcraft and Jewelry, Adrian Glass, as well as plenty of canned and homemade goods. There were also plenty of activities on hand for youth including a bouncy castle and a table set up for painting ceramics. Organizers also mentioned they had numerous requests for East Indian food at the market and welcome any potential vendors. They are always looking for fresh fruit and vegetables regionally grown.

Art lovers meet art makers in new gallery By Samantha Garvey THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
TERRACE - Local artists and artlovers have a new space to come together. Susann Williamson is running Mountainside Gallery and Framing, which had its grand opening Aug. 11 and 12 at its location at Skeena Landing. But its doors were able to open because of greater community support of the Terrace arts scene. “The big difference is there are not only artists supporting artists but community members as well,” said Williamson. “Everyone’s been involved. “The arts scene is growing bigger and bigger.” All the artwork at the gallery is local and original work, with some consign-
ment and estate art. Everything has a story, a history and the opportunity to form a relationship with the artist, Williamson said. The walls are covered with pieces from local art legends like ‘Big Bob’ Park, Edward Epp, Al and Nan Richardson, Freda Diesing and Marion Schlegel. Her plans to continue promoting arts in Terrace include workshops to take place at the gallery; a juried art show, where locals can gain feedback on their work from established professionals; meet the artist events; and bringing in an art appraiser. One thing she is not worried about is demand. “There’s been a shift in the last 10 years. People don’t want junk. (They) are looking closer to home for authentic, quality, local art,” she said.

TERRACE - The third annual Terrace Kidney Walk is on this Sunday and for organizer Joan Iamele the event is an opportunity to raise awareness for people with kidney disease and promote the need for citizens to be registered as organ donors. In British Columbia, “85 per cent of people are in favour of be-
ing donor registered, but only 18 per cent actually are,” said Iamele. “My reason for being involved is awareness. It’s big in the walk to have everyone register at B.C. transplant.” Iamele herself has been touched by kidney disease, with both of her children being on dialyses and having gone through kidney transplants. “It may affect you,” said Iamele. “It’s a silent thing.”

Kidney transplants are a more effective treatment than dialysis, said Iamele, because they give the recipient a clean kidney to work with, rather than one that needs to be cleaned out every two-to-three days. But the average wait time for a kidney is seven years. Currently, there are 375 people in B.C. on the waiting list. The walk, which has been happening in B.C. for the past five
years, was started in order to inform people about issues around kidney disease. For the past two years in Terrace, Iamele has seen the walk grow. The first year there were between 50 – 60 people, while last year that number almost doubled. This year, she’s hoping for around 200 people. But, “more would be great,” she said. The event is held at Furlong
campgrounds picnic area near the picnic shelter. Anyone is free to walk or run through the Twin Spirit Trail. Dragonboating is also an option. There will be giveaways, a barbecue by donation, and a scavenger hunt for the kids. The event is more than a walk, “it’s a chance to raise funds and awareness but also bring the community together to have a fun day,” she said.

Driver uninjured after quad flips but will pay fine of nearly $1,000
Special award…
MARGARET SPEIRS / THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
TERRACE – Hazelton mayor Alice Maitland receives a Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal at the Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine board meeting Aug. 10. She was nominated for serving the village of Hazelton for more than 34 years in all aspects, including adult education, pioneer history and First Nations’ history.
TERRACE - Quad drivers are being reminded that they shouldn’t drink and drive. The West Pacific Region Traffic Services, also known as the highway patrol, showed one quad operator the consequences of driving while impaired after he was caught in Thornhill Aug. 7, reported police Aug. 8. Officers patrolling on Old Lakelse Lake Road attempted to stop the quad, which was on the highway, said police. The quad fled into a nearby gravel pit and overturned, at which time the 38-year-old Thornhill driver, who was not injured, was issued a 90 day driving suspension for alcohol, fined nearly $1,000 and had his quad impounded for 30 days, said police. Numerous complaints of quads driving on roadways in the Thornhill area have been reported to Terrace RCMP and it’s hoped this incident will send a message that this type of behaviour will not be tolerated, said police.
CONTRIBUTED / THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
The driver of this quad was uninjured but received a huge fine and lost the vehicle for one month after driving it while impaired, said the local highway patrol. And quad drivers are reminded that they are not allowed to drive on the road. Sgt. Pamela Scott, who’s in charge of the highway patrol here, said “...quads or ATVs can’t operate on a roadway unless they have a
special permit.” The Motor Vehicle All Terrain Act Section 4 (1) (a) also states that: “A person must not operate an all-terrain vehicle in a careless, reckless or negligent manner so as to endanger or cause injury or damage to a
person [who can be the operator] or property of another.” The public is encouraged to report crimes or suspicious behaviour to local police at 250-6387400 or anonymously through Crime Stoppers at 1- 888-222-TIPS.

A Statement from Enbridge
The Facts On Pipelines Enbridge operates the largest and most complex liquids pipeline system in the world. We’re proud of what we do—helping to provide reliable energy to many millions of people across North America every single day. Over the last decade alone, we’ve transported nearly 12 billion barrels of crude oil with a safe delivery record better than 99.999 per cent. That’s good but, for us, it’s not good enough. Any incident tells us that we must do even better. We will never stop striving for 100 per cent. Operating a complex pipeline system is by its nature a challenging business. This is not new. Enbridge employees have successfully met these challenges for over 60 years—by placing safety at the heart of our operations. We constantly strive to do better. Particularly when it comes to the integrity and viability of our pipelines—which is, and must always be, our number one concern. Pipeline safety has been much in the news lately, and so it’s important to give the issue some context— to look beyond the latest headline and recognize the outstanding long-term safety record of this important energy delivery system. In fact, decades of experience have shown that pipelines are by far the safest, most efficient method of transporting large volumes of oil. Historically, pipelines have had the least amount of releases of any mode of oil transportation. As a result of strenuous efforts within our industry, releases have actually decreased over the past decade—both in terms of the number of releases and the amount of product released. Our goal at Enbridge is—and will continue to be—the prevention of all spills. In 2011 alone we invested about $400 million to ensure the safety and integrity of our system, and that amount is set to increase substantially—to more than $800 million—in 2012. Over the past two years we have doubled the number of staff dedicated to leak detection and pipeline control systems, and substantially strengthened our focus on the tools, technologies and strategies to ensure the fitness of our pipelines. This is not new, but rather part of an ongoing effort to be the best in the business. In the past decade we’ve invested more than $3 billion in safety, integrity and new technology—and we’re planning more investment going forward. We continually evaluate the condition of our pipeline system to ensure long-term reliability and integrity. Enbridge is a Canadian success story, with a hard-earned reputation as a responsible corporate citizen. In a rapidly changing world we will continue to build on that foundation by continuing to adhere to a strong set of core values that reflect what is truly important to us as a company: the safe transportation of energy that millions of people rely on in their daily lives.

Summer World of Dance workshop in Pr. Rupert By Martina Perry THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
PRINCE RUPERT - The Dance Academy of Prince Rupert held its annual Summer World of Dance workshop last week, with classes running from August 6 until August 10. This year there were around seventy students who participated in a number of classes including ballet, jazz, lyrical, tap, hip-hop, musical theatre, drama, adult yoga and dance all stylez. There were three dance instructors this year, including Prince Ru-
pert’s own Tara Crouse and Amber Mackereth, who were both previously students at the Dance Academy, and Chiliwack-based dance teacher Deanna Limbert. Teresa Macereth, who is the founder of the Dance Academy, says that the summer workshop is important because it accelerates dancers technique. Registration for the coming dance season will be taking place on August 28 and 29, as well as September 4 and 5. For further information on registration, contact the studio at 250-624-3457 or email dapr@citytel.net
City of Prince Rupert cancels its August council meeting By Martina Perry THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
PRINCE RUPERT - In the month of August, members of both the Prince Rupert city council and the Skeena-Queen Charlotte Regional District will not be meeting.
The City only had one regular council meeting scheduled for this month, on August 20. However, on August 14 the city alerted the public that this meeting would not be happening. City Manager Gord Howie says that the meeting was cancelled and rescheduled to take place in
September for a number of reasons, the first being that there weren’t enough items to put on the agenda to make the meeting worthwhile. The last council meeting that held on Monday, July 30 lasted less than 45 minutes, which anyone who attends the meetings regularly knows
is much shorter than usual. According to Howie there will also be a number of council members out of town on the day of the meeting, as well as the fact that during August council doesn’t get much communication from the provincial government.
“During the summer months [the council] meet roughly every three weeks instead of every two weeks,� said Howie. As for the Regional District, there was no scheduled meeting to take place all month.
Scenes from Udderfest‌ PRINCE RUPERT - Local actors, writers and directors put their talents on display from August 8-12 for the 14th annual Udder Theatre Festival, hosted by the Harbour Theatre Society. This year’s event featured eight plays that were performed at either the Tom Rooney Playhouse or the Lester Centre of the Arts.

One of the duties Les Sinnott did for the legion was to present cheques to organizations the legion supported. That’s Sinnott left, and legion member Peter Crompton, right, presenting Bill McRae with a cheque for $10,000 for the Happy Gang Centre basement floor renovations and installation of an elevator in 2011.
Terrace man remembered By Margaret Speirs THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
TERRACE - A man well-known for his commitment to the community, the local legion and the game of soccer is being fondly remembered after his sudden death. Les Sinnott, 59, died after his vehicle went off Hwy 16 near the east entrance to the city of Terrace in the afternoon of Aug. 4. Sinnott was said to be “in medical distress” when emergency services arrived and was pronounced dead at the hospital. An avid and prominent legion member, he was a very big asset to the branch, said legion member Charlie Meek. “He was just a terrific person to be around,” said Meek. Sinnott was a “gentleman, a kind person, definitely a loving husband, father, grandfather.” “He appreciated life and valued life,” said Meek. “He enjoyed what he was doing and enjoyed being part of the community of Terrace.” “We lost a good friend and lost a good colleague. He’ll be really, really, sadly missed, not just by his family and friends but [also] by the Royal Canadian Legion Branch,” said Meek. At the legion, Sinnott was an associate member and helped out wherever he could. He was president in 2008 for two years, moving to past president and was treasurer for
this year; his wife Debbie is the current legion president. He was born in Liverpool, England in 1952 and moved with his family to West Vancouver in 1965. He met his wife Debbie in 1977 and they were married in 1981. He joined BC Tel, the former name of Telus, in 1978. He and his family moved to Terrace in 2000 where he continued to work for Telus and retired in 2009. Dallis Winsor, a legion director, said on every Remembrance Day Sinnott was the “stolid and articulate voice of the legion at associated ceremonies.” He and his wife were quick to help with legion projects. “I remember telling Deb then that I thought she and Les were the glue that held the Legion in Terrace together,” said Winsor. Terrace Youth Soccer Association president Bill Warcup said Sinnott always helped out with any issues or problems with his vast knowledge of the game. He said Sinnott will be “sadly missed in the community. He was always involved with everything, always involved in any kind of sport and anything that needed doing, he did it.” Sinnott was the district soccer rep and chair of the 2004 Boys B Provincial Cup for, played at Christy Park in Terrace. Sinnott wanted to put in a bid to bring the
girls provincial soccer championship here for 2008, which was postponed. Soccer coaches here are carrying on those efforts. The BC Soccer Association posted a page in memory of Sinnott, who was first vice-president of B.C. soccer, calling him a “true friend and tireless supporter of our sport.” Sinnott was a BC Soccer Board leader since 2003, including being youth vice-president, chair of the governance committee from 2006, and first vice-president as of 2009. He was a regular B.C. board rep at provincial championships throughout the province, and was also the tireless “face of BC Soccer” throughout northern B.C. As a member of the Canadian Soccer Association Governance Committee since 2008, he contributed to soccer nationally as the soccer association developed its governance initiatives, which redefined how soccer is being led for the next decade in the nation. The BC Soccer Association sent some of its representatives to Sinnott’s funeral service here earlier this week at Knox United Church and plans to hold a reception later this month to honour him. At his service, local legion member Peter Crompton did the legion tribute to Sinnott. Part of the tribute is laying a red maple leaf on the casket.

Sten Sundin takes the Junior Jubilee title By Moe Hays THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
PRINCE RUPERT - It is a most enjoyable experience to watch the youth participating at any activity that adults feel is worthwhile. When they are competing with a sense of fair play and sportsmanship, the awards are immeasurable. We enjoyed all the benefits of watching youth compete at sports on Saturday and Sunday. The Centennial Golf Course hosted the Annual Junior Jubilee this past weekend, enjoying the company of visiting junior boys from Terrace, Kitimat and Smithers. A putt that wouldn’t drop kept Prince Rupert Junior member Sten Sundin from shooting an even par round, but could not stop him from taking the title as Junior Jubilee Champion for 2012. The outstanding athlete, who excels at hockey and golf and is the recipient of the 2012 Larry Gordon Memorial Scholarship for combining academics with his sports achievements, shot rounds of 72 and 71 over the pleasant weekend. Smithers Junior Nathan Cachia took second place and was awarded Championship Flight gross, joined by his brother Jacob, who took gross honours in the
A23
Riverboat scrum...
First Flight, followed by J.J. McMunn of Prince Rupert. Cody Bailey from the Skeena Valley Golf Club in Terrace captured the Overall Low Net title, while Championship Flight net was awarded to Mitch Turko of Smithers. Dallis Kerbrat from Hirsch Creek in Kitimat is the First Flight net winner. Bailey is the son of former Prince Rupert resident Alan Bailey. Congratulations to the boys, mainly playing their first year of golf, who participated in their own division playing nine holes each day. Keenan Marogna along with brother, Cole, of Prince Rupert and Calvin Turko (Smithers) finished at the top of the group. The Annual Putting Competition featured an elimination round in the two divisions. Cole Marogna represented the nine hole players, taking on Jacob Cachia from the senior group, with Marogna taking the title with three pars in the final. Pam Hays was Chairman of the event, with thanks to Tim Hortons and Canada Safeway for supplying treats and to the Marogna and Rabel families, as well as Glenn Reece for their assistance.

TERRACE - The Terrace Northmen wrapped up their season by hosting their annual Rugby 7’s tournament over Riverboat Days weekend. Here, the Terrace Men’s Jr. team, made up of recent graduates, faces off against the Smithers/Houston team. Smithers/ Houston, with their first organized team, took the match. The final game was between the Northmen’s division two team and Prince Rupert, with Terrace taking it, and the 1000 dollar prize, 40 - 17. Rupert beat the Northmen’s division one team to make it to the final. “Rupert has really improved,” said Northmen president Evan Van Dyck.
Derby girls are on the hunt for northwest recruits By Anna Killen THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
ANNA KILLEN / THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
Brie “Bone Machine” Birdsell shows off a defensive move while training the Northcoast Nightmares at the Terrace Sportsplex arena on Aug. 9.
TERRACE - Former Terrace resident and member of the National Roller Derby team Brie “Bone Machine” Birdsell was back in Terrace last week hosting a training camp for local roller derby team the Northcoast Nightmares. On Tuesday and Wednesday, at the Hawkair hanger and Sportsplex arena, respectively, around 15 players rolled out to learn how to up their game from Birdsell, who has been playing for six years in Montreal. “I went from not being able to stay up on my skates to playing for Team Canada in that time,” she said, noting she didn’t play while she lived in Terrace. She credits her experiences with her Montreal team the New Skids on the Block, ranked third in the Eastern Region, as well as the Montreal Roller Derby league’s athletic training regime with sharpening her
skills. Roller derby bouts see teams of five-on-five skate the oval track. Points are won by each team’s jammer, whose job is to break away from the group, making laps on the rest of the pack. The sport has seen a major surge over the past few years, attracting a large spectator following in part because of the players’ colourful personalities and hard-hitting match-ups. The Nightmares were happy to have Birdsell here. “The boot camp itself was an amazing experience,” said Nightmares’ president Tanya “Lady IzaHella” Laton. “I don’t think we have ever pushed ourselves that hard before.” “I know that everyone came out of it a stronger more confident player,” she said, noting that there were attendees from other teams, some as far away as Nova Scotia at the camp. “The Terrace girls were great to train,” said Birdsell, noting they improved greatly
over the two days, “They were quick learners, very open to feedback and hungry for more knowledge in their sport. I really enjoyed being able to share my knowledge with the derby players of my hometown.” Terrace’s roller derby players are keen and ready to get game play happening in Terrace, but more infrastructure – refs, officials, coaches – is needed to make that happen. “That’s the biggest challenge of bringing a new sport to a community,” she said. But, “with all of the hockey and community sports that are present in Terrace, once they have more of a structure in place, roller derby could really take off.” Terrace’s derby team is on the hunt for volunteers and new recruits. They have 10 benchmarked players ready to roll and are working hard to increase that number. Laton stresses the need for
teams and players in the surrounding communities. “A couple of weeks ago a few Nightmares as well as some girls from the Prince George team, met up with ladies in Smithers for a derby 101 session [Smithers is just starting their own team], which is just beyond exciting,” she said. “Now all we have to do is wait for Prince Rupert and Kitimat to follow suit. If there is a group of women in any of our surrounding communities interested in getting a team started, we want to help,” she said. “If anyone in town is interested in coaching a new sport, I would highly recommend working with the Northcoast Nightmares,” echoed Birdsell. “They are a team of dedicated women willing to train hard to be competitive in roller derby, and have fun doing it.” Feel free to contact the team at northcoastnightmares@gmail.com or find them on Facebook.
