Kitimat City High loses LINK worker Cameron Orr Kitimat City High has lost their Community LINK worker as the Kitimat Child Development Centre dealt with reduced LINK funding this year. Coast Mountains School District Chair Art Erasmus said that the district receives a certain amount of money for LINK programs but this year they received far more requests for the funding than was available. The Kitimat Child Development Centre (CDC) is contracted for some services in the Kitimat area and Erasmus said they received $110,000 this year in LINK funds, with another $40,000 going directly to the schools from the district for related programming. But that amount is down $80,000 for the CDC, the Centre said in a press statement. LINK stands for Learning Includes Nutrition Knowledge, and is used both for food programs and for assisting vulnerable students. Erasmus said that demand for LINK funding last year was almost entirely equal with the supply of money they received from the government, but demand went up for 2012 while money went down. Last year, $750,000 was available with $730,000 in requests. This year they had $1.2 million in requests for only $600,000 available. “So last year we could meet just about everything. This year we could meet half of what was requested,” he said. The CDC said in their statement that the reduction in LINK services was made with input from their Community Oversight Committee. There will be coverage for both elementary schools and Mount Elizabeth Middle Secondary School this year. “This reduction in coverage is very concerning as vulnerable youth are affected by another service cut,” the CDC said. “The LINK program in Kitimat employs social workers to work collaboratively within the schools supporting students and families so student success at school is enhanced.” The loss will be felt among the student body at Kitimat City High, says principal Sheila McInnis. Particularly as the high school has felt a series of cuts over the past couple of years; she said hours have been cut to their rehabilitation workers, they lost a full time teacher a year ago, administration time has been cut back and a district counsellor position has also been lost. “Having the Community Link worker really helped fill some of those voids,” said McInnis.

Haisla sign land agreement A newly announced Haisla Framework Agreement between the province and the Haisla Nation will give the area First Nation the option to acquire land for future natural gas export developments. This would allow the Haisla to work directly with companies in developing projects. Haisla Chief Councillor Ellis Ross, along with Ida Chong, minister of Aboriginal Relations and Reconciliation, and Rich Coleman, B.C.’s minister of energy and mines, signed the agreement from Vancouver on Friday. Haisla councillor Joanne Ross was also in attendance for the signing of the agreement. The land available comprises approx-
imately 700 hectares along the Douglas Channel, plus 102 hectares of what Chong called “unsubmerged land” along the waterfront. “A key emphasis of council since our election last summer is the focus on the lands and territory,” said Ross as he addressed reporters in Vancouver. “We see land as an essential element in building a strong and sustainable economic future for the Haisla people.” He said he has been encouraged by the B.C. government’s progress in finding “new ways to get things done” away from the treaty table. “[This agreement] allows the Haisla to look at land in Haisla territory in a different light. It gives the Haisla and asso-
ciated projects this certainty for the LNG proposals and other projects coming forward in our territory,” he said. He said the land, which surrounds the Haisla’s own territory, referred to on maps as Haisla Reserve #6, has a lot of interest from potential developers. Aside from the already known liquefied natural gas (LNG) proposals for this area — Shell, BC LNG Co-Op and KM LNG — speakers in Vancouver alluded to a fourth, unnamed LNG proponent for Kitimat, as well as another unnamed one for Prince Rupert to complement their two already in the works. Ross said that the Haisla intent is to develop projects responsibly. Continued on page 3

Assault near school Pedro’s
Convenience store robbed A robber got away with an undisclosed amount of cash on Sept. 12 from the Mac’s convenience store at the Shell gas station. Cpl. Darryl Peppler said through a media release that a lone male, described as between 20 and 30 years old, Aboriginal, 5’5�, with a husky build and wearing a baby-blue hoody, is being sought in connection with the crime. There were no injuries from this incident. Anyone with information is asked to contact the RCMP at 250-632-7111 or call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
COs issue ticket for bear shooting Conservation Officer Dale Kluivers says a black bear was shot in Kitimat on Sept. 5 and a person has been ticketed for the offence. The bear was shot with a .22 calibre bullet between Kuldo Boulevard and the dyke, and the bear has not been found.
The RCMP are seeking a suspect and motive in an assault that occurred near Nechako Elementary School. The incident, which took place Sept. 9, involved a man grabbing a woman at around 8:20 a.m. “It occurred on the path between the treed area, behind the school, and Pintail Street,� said Cpl. Darryl Peppler. He said investigators are still gathering information on the crime from the victim and have yet to establish why it happened. “As far as the motive, we don’t know if it was robbery or sexual in nature,� he said. He explained that
a woman walking on the pathway was approached by the man who grabbed at her. The woman received some scratches to her face but was able to kick the assailant and get away. “This is rare. Obviously we’re going to go all out and try and determine who the male is and once we find that out what the motive was,� said Peppler. The police are seeking an Aboriginal man, approximately 40-years-old, six feet tall, with short, dark, scruffy hair, who is not clean shaven and was wearing a red t-shirt at the time. Anyone with infor-
mation is asked to contact the RCMP at 250632-7111 or call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-2228477. Peppler said that there is no belief that this crime is in any way connected to the late August incident where a man pulled a knife on a woman in the Whitesail area.

RTA seeks skilled trades for project
Margaret Speirs Another attempt will be made to get approval to move a dog from the Thornhill animal shelter to the Kitimat Humane Society shelter. Accused of biting a child in the spring, Cain, a German shepherd, has been locked up at the Kitimat-Stikine regional district’s Thornhill shelter ever since. Authorities are seeking a court order to destroy Cain and a hearing is scheduled for December. Advocates for Cain said he will receive a higher standard of care at the Kitimat shelter than
he is receiving at the Thornhill shelter and will make the request when the regional district board meets this Friday. A first request made at a regional district meeting last month failed. Maryann Ouellet, manager of the Kitimat Humane Society, said she has now submitted a letter showing that the society can legally take liability for moving Cain to its shelter and housing him there until his Dec. 11 court date. At that time a provincial court judge will determine, based on evidence from witnesses, whether the German
shepherd should be put down. “The [Thornhill] bylaw officer told the board they could not transfer that responsibility to the municipality or shelter for liability,” said Ouellet. “I’ve provided them with court documented proof that it can be done. We’re just waiting to see if they will stick to their stance of not transferring the dog,” she added, referring to the Thornhill animal shelter. She added that the humane society would take all the liability on itself and that the Thornhill animal shelter would save money by not having to pay to look after him anymore.
LINK worker Continued from page 1 While adults in the school will adjust to not having the worker, she said it will be a drastic change to the students. “The adults will adjust. It’s the children who’ll feel the loss of having that connection,” she said. City High’s LINK worker was Sandy Correia, who said her role covered a wide range of subjects, from connecting students to the resources they needed (for example mental health and addictions counsellors and doctors) and would follow through to make sure students made those appointments. She also led groups that taught lessons such as how to rent apartments and how to deal with crises at home while allowing them to stay in class. “The point was for them to stay in school,
not just give up because everything else is falling apart,” said Correia. With the position now gone, she worries about the students she’s leaving behind. “I worry about them dropping out, not having that connection to the school,” she said. “I worry they won’t get there in the morning, or they won’t be able to get their work done, they just won’t go to school because there’s no one making sure that they’re doing all that.” She said that, in one capacity or another, she dealt with nearly every student who attended Kitimat City High, which is currently 45. The highlight of her job would be seeing a student from the start of their education all the way to graduation. “It was a challenging job but it was a job that I loved.”

Fight for Cain continues
said Nyce. The project is still on track with their timelines, she said. They are anticipating pouring the first hot metal sometime in the middle of 2014, and will be pouring the last hot metal at the end of that same year. As well, they’re not concerned about potential competition for labour from proposed liquefied natural gas (LNG) projects in the region. “They don’t have their notice to proceed...we’re already in execution mode,” she said. “We’re not competing with anyone locally for now.”

mean getting more value for the resource. She added that LNG proposals in the area add up to 1,400 potential ongoing jobs, and could generate $600 billion over 30 years. The B.C. Liberals, through their B.C. Jobs Plan, have a goal to have three LNG terminals operating in the northwest by 2020. Coleman said that it is anticipated that one could be running by 2015, while larger projects like Shell’s plant would open around 2018, with the remainder reaching to 2020.

Continued from page 1 Chong said that Japan is the most interested market for B.C.’s natural gas, while South Korea, China and India also have expressed a lot of interest. Coleman told reporters that the overseas price for natural gas exceeds four times the value available in North America. Chong remarked that up to now natural gas from B.C. could only be sold in the North American market, and new LNG developments will

Nyce said they are also working with the 16 unions of the Project Labour Agreement to seek out work through their international affiliates, meaning workers are also being sought in northwestern United States at the moment. “For us, we’re committed to hiring locally...but in all honesty at a burn rate of $3.1 million a day, we need to get people here,”

Rio Tinto Alcan (RTA) is facing a skilled worker shortage ahead of their peak construction season next year. The company is in the midst of an advertising campaign to recruit workers from wherever they can after sourcing all of the skilled work they could locally. Colleen Nyce, RTA’s Manager of Corporate Affairs and Community Relations, said that approximately 1,000 skilled workers have been hired locally — that is between Kitimat and Terrace — but that now they have to look to the wider province to find any more, and potentially into the United States. While they are anticipating the shortage in the positions — which range from bricklayers to electricians to iron workers and more — it is not an immediate shortfall in work. The company is actually looking to next spring, 2013, when the construction project for the Kitimat Modernization will be at its peak, and needing about 2,500 workers. ‘Right now we’re at about a thousand,” said Nyce. “So we need 1,500 more to bring us up to peak.” But there’s essentially no one left in our region to fill those gaps. “The concern that we have is that we’ve exhausted pretty much the inventory of skilled craft workers in the lo-

Getting cozy with business friendliness Well, I’m sure Ruth and Dr. Howard Mills will brush themselves off and continue with their plans for their cottage development, now unimpeded by zoning confusion, but it was almost another exercise in frustration that the Mills have already experienced once with the District. I am referring to the 2009 episode where the Mills were seeking zoning changes that would affect how many meals they could serve. A bitter, confused battle had councillors and the Mills frustrated by a system that appeared, by those involved, bent on giving the runaround. In the final article in the Sentinel from that episode, we remarked how third readings of bylaws don’t normally get standing ovations, yet that one did. Without going into detail on what transpired, a standing ovation can give you an idea of how much people were getting frustrated. Now in 2012 the Mills were back, looking to undergo a major construction project, and again councillors and the Mills seemed confused on a set of changes, right as they were ready to give final reading to the bylaw to let this thing happen. Without nearly as much of the chaos from last time, the Mills did get what they needed, and the councillors for the most part appeared very ready to let the development happen. What it came down to was uncertainty over the zoning regarding some changes suggested by the planning department. All in all it was an interesting exercise in seeing how business-friendly the town is. And from what I could see, at least from this experience, councillors are very interested in seeing businesses grow but the process itself seems to leave a lot more confusion than answers in some cases. Supporting business doesn’t just mean rolling out a red carpet, it means ensuring a level of stability and understanding in the process, to make it easy for construction and building to happen. I’m not suggesting anything was done wrong in this case or that anyone was intentionally holding back development, but after the Mills have had to fight city hall twice to increase the portfolio of their business, it’s worthwhile to take a good look at how business friendly the community really is.

cluded the Olympics in London. It all points to a continuation of the level of violent unrest across the Middle East and signals (to me, at least) that Canada’s not yet fully-explained expulsion of Iranian diplomats and the closing of its Embassy in Tehran is probably a sensible and well-thought-out cautionary move. In response to continued Egyptian violence Canada has also temporarily closed its embassy in Cairo. Controversial, yes, but I’m sure its timing will be explained and will look a lot better to Canadians in the next couple of weeks. World-wide condemnation of the consular and embassy attacks, lack of protection by Egyptian and Libyan forces and police, has resulted in belated U.S. efforts to increase security and American military protection at its embassies and consuls in these dangerous countries. But, I think too late. The volatility of Middle Eastern politics and public reaction to real or imagined religious goading by those with incendiary attitudes can only lead to more swirling rumour, other spontaneous or planned action and a lot of trouble in the coming months. Even over there, rocket controlled grenades and explosive devices are not that cheap or that easily obtained that they can be used in a spontaneous religious demonstration. Continued on page 5

Pyne plan passed The Mills family received the adoption of a zoning amendment they were after to build a cottage-style housing but it didn’t come without its headaches. Dr. Howard Mills spoke for the project at the Sept. 4 council meeting regarding his and wife Ruth’s proposal to build what they call Pyne Hamlet near their current business of Minette Bay Lodge. Their plan would be a small community of cottages available for lease. At previous meetings Howard has referred to this niche as accommodating people such as temporarily-placed executives tied to regional development projects. Council had given two readings to an amendment to the G4-A rural resort zone to allow for the development, ahead of a third and final reading. Town planners did want a covenant registered at the BC Land Title Office to clarify that cottages would be for temporary or seasonal accommodation, however the report from administration said that that plan was opposed by the Mills. Planners believed that the covenant would have prevent potential confusion that could come from building multiple detached homes on a sin-
gle lot. Mills also said that a previous suggestion from town planners — which was not incorporated into council’s zoning amendment report — to combine their two parcels of land, including the one Minette Bay Lodge uses, would not work. He said such a proposal would mean putting the Lodge up for collateral with a bank. He commented that he saw no reason for the planner’s comments which only caused confusion. Meanwhile after a lengthy discussion, councillors were very ready to put as little friction on the project as possible. Council unanimously passed third and final reading of the bylaw amendment, which remained much the same as earlier readings except for some additional and expanded wording in the bylaw, added for clarity. Feldhoff described passing the bylaw as it was as a compromise to get the project moving. “It may not be the perfect outcome but in my opinion time is of the essence and I’m really excited by the development the Mills are putting forward,” he said. “I think it’s in the best interest of the community to allow them to proceed.”
Give peace a chance Make friends, not trouble, for International Peace Day on Sept. 21. The Kitimat Rotary Club is again organizing an event to celebrate peace around the world and at home with entertainment, food, and of course the human peace sign. “The concept ..is that peace begins within ourselves,” said Eleanor Kendell, Kitimat’s peace committee Chair. After attending a Rotary International conference in Thailand, Kendell said she is even more appreciative that she lives in Canada and can enjoy the quality of life we have. Meanwhile celebrating peace locally means breaking it down into its simplest forms: how we treat one another, how we resolve conflicts, and how we respect others in the community and at home. Kitimat’s Council is backing the peace initiative and will declare Kitimat a Peace Community
the day of the celebrations, the first community to do so in this region. Rotary is also hoping to continue expanding the Rotary Peace Schools program, which is a title that Kildala Elementary School has won twice in a row. St. Anthony’s School also participates in the program. A peace school is recognized for how it handles bullying, sportsmanship and generally getting along. The gathering planned for the 21st will be the biggest one yet with food vendors and performances at Mount Elizabeth Theatre. Vendors will be set up starting at 5:30 p.m., and entertainment will begin at 7 p.m. in the theatre with the Spirit of Kitlope Dancers, and a children’s choir, among other performances and speakers. Following those the human peace sign will be made in the parking lot.
Under Miscellaneous Continued from page 4 While connected, but not exactly apropos, I was reading some of the reaction and criticism of the Canadian moves in Iran and Ottawa – and one critic really got under my skin with a plea about the fate of Iranian students in university in Alberta. Who would take care of their issues, she wanted to know – while she noted there were 60 per cent more of them in university in Alberta this year, compared to last year. Now, I understand the income from foreign students is vital to the economic sustainability of Canadian universities – but a 60 per cent increase in Iranian students, unless numbers went from 100 to 160, I am sure represents a very serious
issue for young Canadians pushed out of universities by overcrowding by foreign students. This is a critical fact in B.C. although Asian students are the problem here. There are much more important issues associated with Canada’s political actions in the Middle East – but this particular one being jammed down Canadian government throats irks me greatly on top of the government explaining its decision as being based on the safety of its embassy and consular officials. After Benghazi, who can blame them. Western nations’ embassies in Iran can scarcely claim a long history of peacefulness. ahewitson@telus.net
Cabinet shuffle not unusual in B.C. Dear Sir, Why are the media making such a big deal about the decision of three BC Liberal cabinet ministers not to run in the next provincial election? I’ve got news for the media: The political history of British Columbia shows that this is the normal state of affairs prior to every provincial election. Prior to the last provincial election in 2009,
for example, there were six BC Liberal cabinet ministers who decided not to run again. Currently there are eighteen people in the BC Liberal cabinet and only three have announced they are not going to run again. So, why have the media failed to make note of this important and much more significant fact? Greg von Euw
Mail delivery is back In response to last week’s Letter to the Editor which stated residents on Farrow Street were not getting their mail due to an issue with a dog on the street, the Kitimat Post Office’s superintendent Mike Gee contacted the
Sentinel and explained that mail was in fact going to that street again. He said that a letter was sent to homeowners on that street on April 11 saying that mail delivery would resume.

Public Notice Municipal Liability Insurance Claims Section 288 of the Local Goverment Act states that municipalities are not liable in any action based on nuisance where the damages arise, directly or indirectly, out of the breakdown or malfunction of a sewer system, a water or drainage facility or system, or a dike or road. Nuisance actions are defined as instances in which a home is damaged as a result of a sewer, drainage or water system, or roadway or dike, breaking down and malfunctioning. For instance, it could be a basement covered by several inches of water stemming from a drainage system being jammed by someone dumping garbage into a municipal ditch, or it may be a home filled with backed up sewage. Residents are cautioned to take steps to protect their property and are strongly urged to review their insurance policy with their individual brokers to ensure adequate coverage in the event of a nuisance claim.

Citywest talks growth Cameron Orr Citywest has grand ambitions as it expands its service through the Northwest. What’s in store for the Prince Rupert-based, and owned, communications company is the subject of tomorrow night’s Kitimat Chamber of Commerce dinner with guest speaker Bill Craig, Citywest’s CEO. Craig spoke to the Sentinel ahead of his visit, and talked about their plans to break away from their reliance on telecommunication giant Telus. “All communication in this region...have historically run on the same carrier’s wholesale backbone network between Terrace and Prince George,” said Craig, referring to Telus’s infrastructure. The company recently spent $11 million to break away from that reliance and created their own fibre network between Kitimat, Terrace and Prince Rupert. And they plan to extend that even further. “By November 2012, we will have extended this network from Terrace to Prince George,” he said, adding that it will cost $50 million. But such development will “bring competition to the valley,” as telus will no longer be relied on to bring Internet. With Citywest’s current new fibre network, they were able to take out to bid who’d supply them with the Internet and he said the competition drove prices down dramatically. “Not only did we get an almost tripling of our capacity, we had our cost drop dramatically,” he said. Under previous supply contracts for telecom-
munications, he likened it to their service being choked, where costs were inflated for the local company while supply was limited. Meanwhile Citywest will be investing their savings to diversifying the connection the company has to the world. As it is right now, Craig said a single calamity could potentially cut off the communication to the region because it’s supplied on a single cable string that runs along Highway 16 to Prince George. “If that fibre gets broken...we’re screwed,” he said. He added that Kitimat and Prince Rupert are unique in how isolated their connections are. “They are the only major rail link ports without telecommunications diversity on the west coast of Canada and the U.S.,” he said. Diversity will mean having a connection elsewhere to protect against things like landslides or forest fires. They are looking at two solutions to the diversity question. One would be to add a marine fibre link to Vancouver from Prince Rupert, which would cost $120 million to install. Alternately, they are looking to loop their service, again with a marine link, to Ketchikan in Alaska. That would significantly reduce the distance — it’s comparable to the distance from downtown Prince Rupert to the Terrace-Kitimat airport, he said — and cost, to only $10 million. “This would dramatically improve our competitive situation,” he said. Citywest recently opened a new office in Kitimat in the Service Centre.

costs. Being $14,000 short, the city looked to the unused wading pool money. However, that doesn't mean $11,000 is leftover in the wading pool budget. Leisure Services Director told councillors that money had already been transferred out of the budget on a non-capital budget, meaning councillors did not have to approve a motion. $6,000 was taken and used to repair the floor in the Riverlodge activity room, another project which he said went over budget. The wading pool removal project account has $5,000 remaining, he said.

Cameron Orr Kitimat council approved a capital transfer of $14,000 from their wading pool removal project to the Smith Street Playground project. Leisure Services needed the extra money from the removal project — which did not proceed — to pay for the installation of the playground on Smith Street. The playground project was budgeted at $45,000 and while the equipment itself came in on budget at approximately $25,000, the cost for installation skyrocketed from an estimated $23,000 to $37,000. Kitimat administration blame "erratic pricing" of contractors in Kitimat these days to the jump in

Telus is proposing to installed a new, 45m lattice, selfsupporting tower on their land, located across from the Public Safety Building at the top of Haisla Hill, which will eventually replace the two towers already there. Mayor Joanne Monaghan suggested at the Sept. 4 council meeting that they talk to Telus in the near future about possibly extending cellular service further down the Douglas Channel.
A temporary industrial use permit (TINUP) application for All West Trading was tabled by Kitimat council after councillor Mario Feldhoff was concerned the lot was going unused even when their paperwork was in order. All West Trading owns and operates the log sort yard up Forest Avenue. “I question the need to renew it if they haven’t even used it,”

The Northern Gateway Project is generating healthy debate. British Columbians are asking many important questions like, is this pipeline worth it for BC and its northern communities? The benefits that the Northern Gateway Project will bring to British Columbia are significant. It will create jobs, generate new tax revenue for BC, and strengthen the province’s economy.
New jobs will be created... Many people will be employed to build this project. Here in BC, over 3,000 high-paying construction jobs will be created during the building phase. And over 500 new long-term jobs will open up when it’s completed–jobs to monitor and maintain the pipeline, jobs at the Kitimat Marine Terminal, and indirect jobs in areas such as food and hospitality, accommodations, and transportation. And all right here in BC.
Over $800 million will be spent on local goods and services... During construction, hundreds of millions will be spent in Northern BC on equipment rentals, worker accommodations, trucking and fuel, just to name a few. Businesses will grow and new jobs will bring a steady source of family income, as well as opportunities for young people right out of school. All of this will have a positive impact on local businesses and community stability.
Local communities will have a brighter future... On top of new jobs being created, the project will generate $40 million per year in new tax revenue for BC–that’s $1.2 billion over a period of 30 years. This will make a difference to local communities who can use it to build facilities and strengthen public services.
Enbridge will also provide an additional $100 million to support communities near the pipeline in BC and Alberta. We are also committed to partnerships with Aboriginal communities–funding will be provided for community investment, scholarships and education programs, and Aboriginal business opportunities will be created.
People will learn specialized work skills... Individuals from towns near the pipeline will be given the opportunity to learn the skills needed to work in the energy industry. Enbridge has created the Gateway Education and Training Fund, a $1.5 million commitment that will support training initiatives that focus on pipeline construction skills. The knowledge and experience acquired during the construction phase will serve them well as the demand for skilled workers in the energy sector here in British Columbia, Canada and around the world continues to increase.
New global markets will open opportunities for new growth... As it stands, Canada relies on just one customer for its oil exports. The Northern Gateway Project will provide access to the growing economies and the huge markets of the Pacific Rim eager for our energy, which will increase Canada’s Gross Domestic Product by at least $270 billion over 30 years. So not only will the residents of British Columbia see an increase in tax revenue, employment and long-term job opportunities, they will see the economy strengthened in both their province and country as a new gateway to more trade partners opens up.
The project will bring significant economic benefits to BC. Discover more and join the conversation at benefits.northerngateway.ca.

Book focuses on Portuguese artists Cameron Orr A former Kitimat resident, and graduate of Mount Elizabeth Secondary School, has released her own book which features a selection of Portuguese poets and singers. Maria Lawrence’s book, A Janela: The Poetic Soul (A Janela meaning “at the window”) was inspired after she was invited by the Azores government to participate in a cultural exchange in 2005. After meeting with the many artists and writers in the program, she decided she wanted to explore further her Portuguese roots through the arts. Cut to today and she has selfpublished an initial 250 run of books, which were produced with the assistance of her husband. It was the artists in Portugal who helped her come up with the A Janela title. “After my invitation to Portugal for this program I just became really fascinated with the poetry,” she said. Within the book is a number of paintings by Lawrence, which coincide with profiles and the works of a number Portuguese writers and singers. Tying everything together is the theme of windows, where the subjects of Lawrence’s paintings are at
or looking through windows. That theme began when the artwork she brought to that 2005 cultural exchange was of two women looking on. A poet also with the exchange said that she “captured the typical Azorean eyes looking out to sea,” Lawrence wrote in her book. He also recited a line of his poetry that the painting reminded him of, which she eventually took for the painting’s title: Um barco na linha dos teus olhos. (I see a boat on the horizon of your eyes.) In fact Lawrence’s fascination with the theme of windows unknowingly went back to her childhood with a story embroidered on a bib she had as a child, called historia da carochinha, a story of a ladybug who goes to a window to pick a husband, and chooses a rat. Her book project earned her a grant from the cultural department of the Azorean government to complete her book and to travel to Portugual to display her paintings and a mock-up of the book. Lawrence currently lives in Victoria and is preparing for a launch concert in Victoria next month put on by singer Sara Marreiros, who is incidentally one of the artists featured in the book. The book is available for sale locally at the Kitimat Museum and Archives.

Sports & Leisure A moto finish
Evan Pinto holds up the trophy he earned in Kamloops on Sept. 1. He’s the youngest racer in the Junior B division of BC Motocross Association North. Cameron Orr photo video taken on a helmet camera. Thankfully they avoided collision, even though Scott had thought Evan was on the other side from where he ended up landing. Evan has no plans to slow down with his racing, but hasn’t quite committed to possibly pursuing professional racing, an opportunity which opens up when he turns 16. But Evan, who has been riding since he was four on a 50cc bike, and racing for two years, it’s all about setting goals. Next year he has his eyes on winning a Junior A championship trophy.
Demons name head coach The Kitimat Ice Demons completed three nights of tryouts and a series of two intersquad games over the first week of September, at Tamitik Arena, with an average of 22 players each night, including a number of new young players and a group of returning core players. The Demons have named club president, Cliff Madsen, as the team’s new head coach for the 2012 season with Darryl Craft as assistant coach. Practices will go twice a week on Tuesdays and Thursdays until the pre-season Ice Demons Challenge Cup tournament, this year to be hosted in Terrace by the River Kings on Sept. 28 and 29, with participation by the River Kings, Demons, the Smithers Steelheads and the Prince Rupert Rampage. The Ice Demons captured the Challenge Cup in last sea-
son’s pre-season tournament held in Kitimat, defeating the Smithers Steelheads, who went on to win both the league and playoff titles in the CIHL and topped a very successful season by winning the Coy Cup in its first attempt. The Challenge Cup Schedule will see the River Kings and Kitimat face off on Friday, Sept 28, at 5.00 p.m. And the 8.00 p.m. Game will feature the Smithers Steelheads and the Prince Rupert Rampage. Game three will go at 5.00 p.m. On Saturday will see the two losers from Friday night match up and the Ice Demons Northern Challenge Cup will go to the winner of the match between Friday night’s winning teams. Don’t miss this exciting four-game Northern Challenge Cup pre-season series which will lead off into the regular 2012-13 season on Saturday,
Oct. 6 when the Ice Demons will host the Prince Rupert Rampage for the opening clash at Tamitik Arena at 8 p.m. In an all West Division match up. Other CIHL 2012-13 opening season games will see the Terrace River Kings hosting the East Division Houston Luckies in Terrace, while the CIHL champions, the Smithers Steelheads will also be hosting an East division team, the Omenica Ice on Smithers ice. The Steelheads will also meet the Ice in a second game at 1.00 p.m. On Sunday Oct. 7. The last season opener, on Saturday, Oct. 6, will see the Williams Lake Stampeders travel west to Lac La Hache for what has been turning into heated local rivalries, since the Tomahawks entered the CIHL last season for the first time. Each team will see nine home games in the 18 game

him to be about 15-years-old, except of course for his close friends. Evan will move up to the Junior A division next year, and will make an impact by being the youngest in that division as well. The youngest racer in Junior A right now is 14. In terms of general standings in the BC Motocross Association North, Evan is in second place in Junior B, just trailing a fellow Kitimatian who is in first, Brandt Rice. Evan also races in a free-for-all category, Junior MX-3, where age restrictions don’t apply. Evan is in fifth place in that division. Evan said he wasn’t slowed down after a major injury at the start of the 2011 season. In Kelowna at only half a lap into his first race, he went into a double jump too hard and crashed. He broke his ankle, and dislocated an elbow and shoulder. He required a nerve transplant as a result. There was a near catastrophe in Kamloops as well. Evan was following Connor Scott, a good friend of his from Prince George, when Evan was off in predicting his opponent’s behaviour. Scott ended up riding around a jump instead of taking it, but Evan went for it. Before he knew it he was in the air looking down at Scott. “While he was on the ground Evan was on top of him,” said Mario, who played back the event from

Cameron Orr After how well he performed in Kamloops on Sept. 1, you may as well start calling him Evan Almighty. Except such a moniker might indicate a bit of ego, of which Evan Pinto, 12, doesn’t show much. In fact the young motobike racer didn’t even want to race competitively this year, and only did after being nudged by his dad, Mario. The youngest racer currently in the Junior B division of the BC Motocross Association’s North series, he placed first in each of four moto races to earn him the first place overall spot at the Second Annual Pro Amateur Championship in Kamloops. Evan and his family had to challenge the rules regarding age to race in the 250cc category. Rules stipulate you have to be at least 12 years old however Evan began the year at 11. He had outgrown the smaller bike sizes so special permission had to be given to let him race at this level. Mario said that Evan was the youngest kid on a 250cc during the whole weekend. Even on his first race of the season, Evan finished an event in Kelowna in second place. He said most people don’t even know how young he is. His father added most consider
