TERRACE - Carol Leclerc defeated Carol Fielding Sept. 28 to claim the BC Liberal nomination for the Skeena riding in next May’s provincial election. Leclerc, who works in human resources at the Coast Mountains School District, defeated Fielding, the executive director of the Terrace and District Chamber of Commerce, by 60 votes to 33. “This is a team that’s going to have a chance to win this riding. I know I can appeal to people in the middle of the road,” said
Leclerc who retired from municipal politics last fall after nine years on city council. She criticized current Skeena NDP MLA Robin Austin for being invisible and pledged to work with community members. Voting took place at the Best Western Inn in Terrace and in Kitimat through the afternoon and early evening. “I think it’s great. We had two good candidates, both different,” said Fielding after the vote total was announced.. “She had a much better grasp of the campaign... was able to rally the votes, she’s a campaign-
ready girl,” added Fielding of Leclerc. Provincial agriculture minister Norm Letnick from Kelowna was the keynote speaker. He took Leclerc and Fielding to breakfast the following morning and then toured the farmers market in Terrace. Letnick, the MLA for Kelowna-Lake Country, was impressed with new candidate Carol Leclerc. “Carol Leclerc will be a tremendous candidate for our party here in the Skeena region. She has the experience, leadership abilities and winning attitude that
would make her a great MLA,” said Letnick Approximately 50 people were on hand for speeches, a reception and vote tally release. Those present included former Skeena Liberal MLA Roger Harris, city councillor Brian Downie, who sits on the executive of the Skeena BC Liberal constituency association, city councillor Bruce Bidgood, who is an NDP supporter but who said he was there to support Leclerc and two former Terrace mayors, Jack Talstra and Dave Maroney. Just under 400 BC Liberals were eligible to vote.

Police probe Kitimat shooting
GUARANTEE
UNBEATABLE... GUARANTEED!
By Cameron Orr THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
KITIMAT - The police are currently investigating a shooting of a home on Fulmar Street near midnight on Sept. 23. The police are not releasing much information while local RCMP and the Forensic Identification Unit do work. A house was cordoned off with police tape as well as the section of the street immediately in front. Staff sergeant Steve Corp of the Kitimat RCMP detachment said that no one was injured in the attack and that police do not believe the incident was random. Suspects in the case are thought to have fled in two separate vans, which may have been gold or silver in colour. Call the RCMP at 250-632-7111 or call Crimestoppers to remain anonymous at 1-800222-8477.

Bold energy plan By Shaun Thomas
Limited Time Offer! While Supplies Last!
THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
PRINCE RUPERT - Author and lawyer Calvin Helin was in Prince Rupert on Sept. 26 to announce a new company aimed at giving First Nations more control in proposed energy projects. Seaking at the Gathering of Our Nations conference, Helin outlined the formation of Eagle Spirit Energy Holdings Ltd., an Aboriginal-owned and controlled company whose purpose is to facilitate First Nations energy projects within their territories. “Everything that happens in our territory we should own and operate in partnership with non-Aboriginal companies... It is time for us to engage in this, it is time for us to be proactive instead of reactive,� he said, noting that much of the BC economy is now reliant on the energy sector. “The corporations need to change their mindset. They take a cookie-cutter approach working with us, and I say cookie cutters are for cookies, not people.� To further drive home the important role Aboriginal people can and should play in the development of energy projects, Helin is proposing the creation of a First Nations Energy Corridor that covers traditional territories in British Columbia and Alberta. “We should be real partners in all of these projects. The fact that we have been here for so long needs to be recognized in agreements at all levels,� he said, adding that First Nations would need real consultation, a significant equity ownership stake in projects, environmental input, monitoring capability and ownership equity in companies constructing and servicing the projects. “I think once First Nations become real players it will be a benefit to everyone because it creates stability.� More specifically, the Eagle Spirit Energy Holdings will facilitate things such as business negotiation and consultation related to energy projects, ownership stakes in the projects, funding, business development and training and safety for community members. Helin has secured a financial partnership with Aquilini Investments, a group that owns such notable entities as the Vancouver Canucks. “With Aquilini as financial partners, we can finance anything,� he said.

Ferry commission releases decision on cap for increase Contributed THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
PRINCE RUPERT - The British Columbia Ferry Commission, the independent regulator of British Columbia Ferry Services Inc. (BC Ferries), has released details on its final price cap decision for the remaining three years of the third performance term for BC Ferries. The final decision allows for annual increases in the price cap for all route groups as follows: 1. April 1, 2013 - 4.1 per cent; 2. April 1, 2014 - 4.0 per cent; and 3. April 1, 2015 - 3.9 per cent. The price cap, which is set and enforced by the commission on BC Ferries’ fares, determines the maximum permitted weighted average fares for all route groups. The commission’s final price cap decision reflects the recent amendments to the Coast-
al Ferry Act and the most recent amendments to the Coastal Ferry Services Contract between BC Ferries and the provincial government. The price cap also incorporates efficiency targets and provides for service level adjustments still to be determined through a public consultation process led by the Province. The efficiency target has been set at $54.2 million over four years. Service level adjustments are expected to contribute $30 million to keeping the price cap lower than would otherwise be the case. The commission has also released two additional related orders which establish the terms and conditions for use of fuel price deferral accounts by BC Ferries and establishes the threshold for major capital expenditures which will fall under the commissioner’s purview. Fuel deferral accounts allow for fare stability and predictabil-
ity through the use of surcharges and rebates and will ensure fairness and equity for ferry users and greater transparency and accountability. Fuel procurement costs are the second largest expenditure for BC Ferries and the high degree of market volatility in recent years represents a significant risk to ongoing financial sustainability of the company. BC Ferries is required to submit a plan for use of alternate fuels, and a plan for reducing fuel consumption, both due 30 days after the publication of these orders. The commissioner has set the threshold for major capital expenditure approval by the commission at $30 million for vessels and terminals, and at $5 million for specified upgrades to information technology systems. Moreover, the commission requires BC Ferries to annually submit a rolling five-year board-approved capital plan.

Morality and money debated TERRACE - Religious leaders gathered at Northwest Community College last week to talk about morality amidst economic crises. It was organized by Vancouver resident Rizwan Peerzada with the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community’s B.C. Branch. The World Religions Conference is part of a work that intends to educate the world about Islam and promotes understanding between people of different religions and to bring harmony to people by bringing them closer to God. On Sept. 23, representatives from four religions – Sikhism, the Islamic faith, Christianity and Buddhism – gathered to share perspectives on the economy’s ups and downs and how to handle one’s personal money, morally, throughout our lives. From the Buddhist perspective, which is a spiritual tradition with Asian roots dating back roughly 2,500 years, Brian Ruke spoke. The former monk and now Buddhist teacher talked about attachment to money as a cause of suffering — pointing to the second Buddhist noble truth which states the origin of suffering is attachment to transient things, like any economy which is prone to bouts of ups and downs. The next to speak was Pastor Blake Holenstein. Holenstein ministers at Terrace’s Pentecostal Assembly. He spoke from the perspective of the Christian faith – a monotheistic faith that sets itself apart from others that believe in one god by paying special attention to the birth and resurrection of Jesus Christ, believing he is the son of God and the true saviour of man. “Jesus Christ is the way, the truth and the life. Jesus Christ is supreme over the world and the economy, everything is His, and He is the fulfilment of the law (morality),” said Holenstein. “The good news for followers of Jesus Christ is that they get him and
that He is enough no matter what comes! There is no contentment apart from Jesus Christ, for only He will satisfy.” The speaker to follow was Muhammad Afzal Mirza. He talked about the morality of money from the perspective of Islam, another monotheistic religion. Mirza gave an example of a man, who looked another in his eyes, ignoring the other’s suffering and need for shelter. Instead, this man chose to enslave the other by contract, lending him money for his home under strict requirements to pay more than was lent within a specific time frame. And if the other man could not pay, the first would then seize everything he owned with little regard for the human impact of such actions. Chances are, he said, one would not like the first man very much.
Yet, this is what the banks do. This anecdote was an example of how some contemporary models of thinking contradict ways humans ought to morally care for one another. Terrace local Davinder Singh Sangha spoke from the perspective of the Sikh religion, also a monotheistic religion. He spoke about the pursuit of money, noting the difference between its pursuit and greed. Money is a tool to be used, he said, noting the virtue in understanding the difference between stepping on others to attain or retain it, and pursuing one’s goals and using it as a tool to help others. The evening’s overall tone was respectful, engaging, and evoked contemplation through the wisdom of spiritual teachings. The conference in Terrace was just one stop on the road for
the group, whose itinerary includes Prince George, Quesnel, Dease Lake

AFFNO holds murder mystery fundraiser By Martina Perry THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
PRINCE RUPERT - To ensure L’Association des Francophones et Francophiles du Nord-Ouest (AFFNO) can break even financially each year, the association holds an annual Murder Mystery fundraiser. This year the Last Kiss-
with Murder was held on Sept. 29. Set in the 1960’s, suspects (Clark William Spence, Treena Decker, Noah Ferland, Stephen Huddlestone, George T. Baker, Larissa Goruk, Heather McLeod and Celena Cochrane-Olsen) try to discover who poisoned and killed a beautiful cheerleader (played
by James McNish). Approximately 80 people attended the event at the Crest Hotel, which raised an estimated $1,500 for AFFNO’s operations. AFFNO is a non-profit society that represents thousands of members between Prince Rupert and Smithers.

Regional district won’t waive fees for clean up THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
PRINCE RUPERT - The Skeena-Queen Charlotte Regional District turned down a request to waive tipping fees School District 50 will have to pay to remove burnt debris that remain from a fire that destroyed Queen Charlotte City’s teen centre. The centre was located on S.D. 50’s property and
was run by a society with no funding and little money. “This was a very successful volunteer-run program with no money from anybody,” Carol Kulesha, mayor of Queen Charlotte City, said at last month’s regional district meeting. The society responsible for running the centre did not have funds to insure the old building, so the liability falls on the school
district. Members of the board asked to decrease or eliminate fees associated in bringing the debris to the dump, however the board rejected the request, as they worried it would open the door to more community groups asking for fee weaving in the future. “As much as I feel for what happened, I couldn’t support doing this simply because it opens up a
whole can of worms and a slippery slop,” Anna Ashley, board member for Prince Rupert, said. The fire happened on Sunday, Sept. 9 with volunteer firefighters responding to the incident at approximately 8:30 p.m. Queen Charlotte RCMP are still investigating the fire. “There were people seen in the area before the fire occurred, so we are try-
ing to follow up with those people,” said Constable Derrick Gladdish from Queen Charlotte City RCMP. “It’s an ongoing investigation. We’re trying to determine if it was accidental. It does seem suspicious.” The centre was badly burnt inside, however the shell of it was still standing. The society has received
funding for a new centre at another site but construction won’t be complete for quite some time. “We were hoping this teen centre would stay together for the year that it will take us to build a new one. Unfortunately it has gone up in smoke,” Kulesha said.
Canfisco numbers are down but not out THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
PRINCE RUPERT - The City of Prince Rupert earlier this month raised concerns about the fishing season based on the low water usage of the Canadian Fishing Company plant and Rob Morley, the vie-president of production and corporate development for Canfisco, says those concerns weren’t necessarily unfounded. “I would say the season was a little disappointing... We probably didn’t process as much fish as last year, but the season isn’t quite over yet,” he said, noting that there remains the possibility of an opening off the waters of Haida Gwaii and some groundfish processing to be done as a result of Ocean Fish and Canfisco consolidating operations last sum-
mer . “We didn’t get as many Pink Salmon in the north as we had last year.” According to Joy Thorkelson of the United Fishermen and Allied Worker’s Union, most in the industry were feeling good about the season until the end of July, when the hours started going down instead of up. The result of the disappointing season will have a significant impact on some, she said. “It has definitely impacted the number of hours they have had. People who had finally crawled onto EI in the last few years will be off it again this year,” said Thorkelson in regards to the number of hours needed to qualify for EI. “We’re hoping they find enough pollock to get into pollock processing, which is something they had

KITIMAT - Kitimat council wants to see safety improvements to the entrance to Cablecar from Highway 37S. Councillor Mary Murphy moved for the staff to review the Cablecar entrance and for council to lobby the government to change the entrance to allow for an entrance and exit merge lane to improve traffic flow and address safety concerns. Murphy recalled a fatal accident from years ago at that intersection which led to a turning lane and a light to be installed. She said the way it’s still set up is that cars pulling onto the highway are slowing down traffic and causing a safety problem. Murphy had tried to get the speed limit reduced from the

Acting mayor Corinne Scott agreed there’s a hazard in that location and with the speed limit in place people have to signal way in advance to avoid traffic congestion in the absence of a slow down turning lane. Mario Feldhoff supported the motion and also suggest that the administration dust off old council motions that relate to this issue as the intersection has been a centre for discussion in the past. Director of Engineering Tim Gleig said that they have sent letters in the past to the Ministry of Transportation and added that it’s typically a technical matter on when new lanes are put in, based on the amount of traffic.

SportChek opens in Terrace THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
TERRACE - A ribbon cutting Sept. 27 marked the opening of SportChek in Terrace, BC. A crowd had gathered outside leading toward the 9 am opening while general manager Jennifer Lewis gave staff members a last minute briefing. The store is located at the Skeena Mall which is undergoing an estimated $10 million in renovations. The store is just
under 13,000 square feet in size and is, for the moment, the only SportChek in northwestern BC and just the second in northern BC. Approximately 35 full and part time people are employed at the store. SportChek is part of the Forzani Group which was bought by Canadian Tire last year. Since then plans have been announced to revamp and expand the SportChek banner across Canada. Next up for the Skeena Mall is the opening of
a Dollarama store of approximately the same size as SportChek and a 28,000 square Winners follows soon after. Renovations on the Skeena Mall include a new facade outside and extensive work done on the roof of the structure. New signs are also going up outside of the mall. There’s new tile on the floor of the common area within the mall and much work on walls and the interior to accommodate new tenants and existing retailers. Work began in ear-

Job Match construction program to get people off welfare on social assistance. The BC Construction Association, which represents approximately 2,000 companies, has been hired to do the training thanks to a $2.92 million budget, explains jobs ministry official Andy Watson in an email. “Depending on the success of the pilot, it is hoped this initiative can be expanded to other communities in need starting sometime in the new year,” wrote Watson in explaining why Terrace was skipped.

PRINCE RUPERT - A provincial program to take people off of welfare and place them in northern construction jobs will be focusing on Kitimat and Prince Rupert in the northwest and on Dawson Creek, Fort Nelson and Fort St. John in the northeast. The plan, described as a pilot one for now, is to find and train 250 people overall with the expectation that at least 60 per cent of the recruits be
tion of the pilot program in November. The program, called Job Match, was heavily criticized when first proposed in the spring as being an attempt by the province to place southern welfare recipients in northern jobs. Called Welfare Air by its detractors, the provincial NDP said provincial programs should first concentrate on training northern residents for northern jobs. The pilot program’s emphasis is on placing northern residents first in
Calvin Helin release third book By Shaun Thomas THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
PRINCE RUPERT - Lax Kw’alaams’ Calvin Helin garnered international praise for his first two books, Dances With Dependency and The Economic Dependency Trap, and on September 25 he released his third book entitled The Empowerment Mindset. Helin’s latest work has already been selected to be a featured book at Barnes and Noble and is
receiving some high praise. “What the book is really about is how anybody, once they have the knowledge of how they got to where they are, can purposely move forward and become whatever they want,” Helin told delegates at the Gathering of Our Nations conference. “If a little kid from Lax Kw’alaams can become a world reCalvin Helin nown writer, a lawyer, a bad fisherman and a horrible basketball player, then anyone can become anything,” he joked.

In explaining his reasoning for writing the books, Helin played a video interview of a woman named Violet Abigosis who was living on the streets of Vancouver’s east side who had lost her husband to pneumonia and battling with addictions crack and marijuana. “This is my Aboriginal reason for writing these books. We have to do something different,” he said. “It is time to start taking the real power as the real Aboriginal nations.” More information on the book, including a video preview and sample chapters, can be found online at www.calvinhelin.com/ books
northern jobs. “Only in the event that a job opening cannot be filled by an individual in northern B.C. would relocation from another part of the province be considered,” Watson wrote. “The level of support that will be provided to an individual relocating to fill a job opening will be negotiated on a case-by-case basis. One of the objectives of this pilot initiative is to determine what people need, and what a reasonable level of support to provide is.” Two weeks ago the provincial gov-
ernment announced it would spend $17 million on skills training. Approximately $5 million of that is to come to northern post secondary school institutions but how much will end up at Northwest Community College Monthly jobless figures so far this year place the rate in the northwest in the 12 per cent range, nearly double the provincial average. That’s despite large industrial projects now already underway in the region and more being planned.

HIV is a real concern within our communities. You can contract HIV primarily through unprotected sex and by sharing needles. HIV can live in your body for years without you knowing and all the while you can be passing it to others. At least 25 per cent of people who are HIV+ do not know and these 25 per cent are estimated to be responsible for 75 per cent of new infections. Northern Health, in collaboration with its community partners, is working with the Province of BC to prevent the spread of HIV by expanding HIV testing, treatment, and support services to British Columbians.

TERRACE - Two local economic development agencies have agreed to work more closely together to avoid duplication of effort and to assist each other. A memorandum of understanding signed Sept. 28 between the Kitimat-Terrace Industrial Development Society (KTIDS) – Northwest and the Skeena-Nass Centre for Innovation in Resource Economics Society (SNCIRE) paves the way for each to complement each other. KTIDS – Northwest encourages development while SNCIRE emphasizes research and innovation in resource use. “This is a way for cooperation and collaboration – to have two regional groups work together who have [a] similar vision and ideas,” said KTIDS – Northwest executive director Alex Pietralla. “We’ll find ways to work together so we don’t do the same things or miss gaps that are out there.” SNCIRE executive director Rick Brouwer said the memorandum will also help companies and agencies understand how each works. “We have mandates that are convergent and complementary but we don’t want to be confusing,” he added. Both Pietralla and Brouwer said their agencies have been advocating for more regional cooperation and collaboration in light of the number of industrial projects now underway or about to start. “We decided we needed to show some of that collaboration that needs to be happening,” said Brouwer. Also expected to sign on soon is the Northwest Science and Innovation Society. “The more we can do this, the better it will be,” Brouwer said. KTIDS-Northwest recently sponsored an appearance by UNBC geography professor Greg Halseth on the northeast experience with gas and oil development and what lessons from that economic boom might be applied to the now being faced in the northwest. Staffers from SNCIRE helped with that event held at Northwest Community College.

GATEWAY perspectives
BC will benefit In recent months, there’s been plenty of economic discussion surrounding our Gateway Project. As a British Columbian, you want to know: What’s in it for B.C.? From one British Columbian to another, I feel strongly that you’ve got every right to know. And a recent independent report makes it abundantly clear that Gateway will provide significant economic benefits for our province. The Canadian Energy Research Institute is an independent, notfor-profit research establishment, and it recently released a report on the economic impact of exporting our oil/resources to countries in Asia. In pretty clear terms, CERI’s calculations suggest that we will be Canada’s biggest beneficiary of the Northern Gateway pipeline through the next 25 years — in key categories such as gross domestic product (GDP) impact, employment impact, employee compensation, and tax revenue generation. According to the report, over the next quarter-century, construction and operation of the Northern Gateway pipeline itself will create an additional $8.9 billion in GDP
Join the conversation at
to the Canadian economy — with $4.7 billion of that amount, or 53 per cent, heading to B.C. Our province also stands to benefit the most in terms of employment impact, since 70,000 person-years of construction and operations employment will be created in British Columbia, compared to 37,000 for Alberta and 8,000 in Ontario. In addition, we would see 55 per cent of the total $5.1 billion in Canada-wide Northern Gateway employee compensation, or just under $2.9 billion. I’m proud of the economic value that Gateway will bring to Canada. I believe our province should receive its fair share. And as these reputable numbers clearly demonstrate, we will.

Loraine Vivian Darlene Rose (Mutch) September 28, 1965 - September 30, 2012 “What survives of us is Love.” - Philip Larkin With the greatest of sorrows, the Mutch family conÀdes that a daughter, a mother, a sister and a friend has passed. On September 30th, Lorraine passed away peacefully comforted by family. Born and raised in Prince Rupert, BC, Lorraine was the second oldest of Àve children (Teddy, Rob, Derek and Bev). Later her family grew with a son (Allen), a sister (Echo) and three other sisters (Alison, Melissa and Jessica). With many winding roads in her life, Lorraine eventually made it to BC Ferries, where she stayed making close friends and an unforgettable impression for over a decade. Lorraine was predeceased by her mother Anne and her Step-Mother Doreen Henderson, her older brother Teddy and her step-sisters Alison and Melissa. Her memory will thrive in the minds of so many relatives including her father Jack Mutch, along with close friends and her shipmates. The Mutch family would like to give many thanks to the helpful nurse staff at Prince Rupert Hospital, and for the love and support of the people both at BC Ferries and Zorba’s Taverna. Service will be held on Friday, October 5, 2012 at the United Church at 10:30 am. All are welcome.

KITIMAT - While it’s not yet known how much was raised at Mount Elizabeth Middle Secondary School – fundraising was still ongoing at deadline – students really put in the effort to support fundraising for cancer research. MEMSS joined schools all across Kitimat to do the annual Terry Fox Run. The high schoolers also pitched in with hot dog sales and car washes to help bring up the total. Out of the runners in the middle school, the top placed male runners were Tayden Fowler-McNab at 22:42; Ethan Morgas with 23:03 and Hayden Dobbin at 23:06 In the female division, the top runners were Kleanza Cathers at 26 minutes; Maddy Hoffman at 27:42 and Sarah Chaulk at 28:3. With the male secondary student runners, the results were Cam Chanin with 19:35; Guillaume Sauve at 19:50; and Mr. Dahler at 20.02. In the female category, Maddy Amado was in first with 26:03; Sarah Khan followed with 28:38; and Kaitlyn Enmark in third with 28:57.

Teams slug it out at Challenge Cup By Contributed THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
TERRACE - The Smithers Steelheads are this years’ Northern Challenge Cup winners after taking the Terrace River Kings 7 - 2 in the final of the pre-season tournament. The Kitimat Ice Demons, last year’s Challenge Cup winners, won the consolation game against the Prince Rupert Rampage 7 - 5. The River Kings suffered from too many penalties, both in their first game against the Ice Demons,
a close 6-5, and in the final, but new players showed a lot of promise and goaltending was solid for the most part. The final game was tied 2-2 going into the third period before the Steelheads, gaining strength on the power play, charged ahead with five unanswered goals. Smithers, last years’ CIHL champions and Coy Cup winners, trounced the Rampage on Friday night 11-1. “We played the two best teams in the league,” Jonathan Hunt, Ru-
pert Rampage head coach and player said. “The young guys had a lot jitters for the first game. We’re a new, fresh team, and we didn’t have a lot of ice time,” Hunt said, mentioning that there are only a few players from last year’s roster. The Prince Rupert team has only had two on-ice practices in Kitimat this season so far due to the lack of ice making machine at the Jim Ciccone Civic Centre. The Ice Demons had a few new players as well, using new goalten-
ders in both games, with young Tyson Craven earning the win Saturday night, while Dan Pellen took the loss Friday. For both players it was their first exposure to CIHL level hockey. The season officially opens this weekend with the Rampage meeting Kitimat on Demon turf, Terrace hosting the Houston Luckies and Smithers hosting Omenica, all the night of Saturday, Oct. 6. If the battles are anything like last weekend, it’s going to be an interesting season.

TERRACE - The Jr. B Girls Volleyball Kodiac Classic was held over the Sept 28-29 weekend in Prince George at Prince George Secondary School and Terrace’s Skeena Middle School took the top spot, going undefeated and not losing a single set for the entire tournament, which included nine teams from the northwest. Coach Frank Marrelli was impressed with the teams’ self-confidence and “never quit attitude.” The girls had to battle back in a number of situations to secure their victory, especially in the nail-biting final against College Heights where they won the first set 25 - 23 and the second 28 - 26. All Stars went to Skeena’s Chelsey Loset and Anke De Wit while Carly Davies took the tournament MVP award.
