Skeena - Bulkley Valley MP Nathan Cullen, far left, stands with others underneath a Dutch flag raised on Parliament Hill Jan. 18, 2013 to note birthday of Dutch princess.
DURING OUR
UP TO
SMITHERS - In recognition of SkeenaBulkley Valley’s many Dutch-heritage constituents, MP Nathan Cullen attended a ceremonial flag-raising on Parliament Hill Jan. 18 marking the Ottawa birth 70 years ago of Princess Magriet of the Netherlands The princess was born on Jan. 19, 1943 at Ottawa Civic Hospital. Her room was granted extraterritoriality so the princess could be granted Dutch nationality. The birth was celebrated by hoisting the Dutch flag on the Peace Tower, the first and only time in Canadian history a foreign flag has flown from the iconic tower. “Canada and Holland have a truly remarkable friendship,” said Cullen. “Today’s celebration marks the strength of our friendship, in war and in peace, which is demonstrated every day in the international cooperation our countries enjoy. “The flow of Dutch immigrants to Canada after World War II brought enormous contributions to this country,” Cullen said. He noted that many communities in SkeenaBulkley Valley have strong Dutch populations, making today’s ceremony especially meaningful for him. Cullen was joined at this morning’s flag ceremony by other MPs and Dutch embassy officials and citizens. Princess Margriet paid an official visit to Canada in May 2010 for the celebration of the 65th anniversary of the liberation of the Netherlands by the Canadian troops. In 1945, the Dutch royal family sent 100,000 tulip bulbs to Ottawa in gratitude for Canadians having sheltered Princess Juliana and her daughters, one of whom was Pricess Margriet, for the preceding three years during the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands, in the Second World War. In 1946, Juliana sent another 20,500 bulbs requesting that a display be created for the hospital in which Margriet was born, and promised to send 10,000 more bulbs each year.

Why Rupert wolves were shot PRINCE RUPERT - The Prince Rupert RCMP takes no pleasure in tracking wolves, but if the public safety is at risk they will act again with lethal force. Acting Officer in Charge, Vic Steinhammer, delivered the blunt message to mayor and council last week amid public concern of the force’s use of firearms in and around city limits. “The police do not usually get involved with the management of wildlife,” Steinhammer said. “There comes a point however… [when] the wolf issue becomes a public safety issue.” Steinhammer addressed council following three separate shootings last December in response to a pack of four wolves who entered city limits and generated more than 70 public complaints. A Terrace Conservation officer shot and killed the first wolf Dec. 18, followed by the RCMP taking down the second Dec. 23. Prior to these shootings, an RCMP officer responding to a complaint shot and killed a pet wolf-dog hybrid. With sightings on the rise and the difficulty of a rapid response from conservation officers in Terrace, Prince Rupert RCMP were forced to follow up the more severe complaints, including incidents of wolves approaching children and attacking small dogs.
“All of a sudden the complaints went from mere sightings to, ‘the wolf approached me,’” said Steinhammer. Councillor Gina Garon voiced concern at seeing an RCMP officer exit a patrol car and run up George Hills Way with a rifle in hand. “I [was] wondering, ‘are the kids still running around?’ …I’m not the only one with those concerns.” Steinhammer said a number of safety criteria are followed before his members discharge a firearm, adding
the animals killed were not taken down at the first available opportunity, but tracked until all safety measures were satisfied. In both cases the animals were shot against rock or dirt embankments to minimize or eliminate the risk of errant bullets. “We are responsible for anything that comes out of the barrel of that firearm,” he said. “It will be done safely or it won’t be done at all.” Since the last wolf was destroyed the RCMP has not received further wolf complaints
from the Prince Rupert area. Information on the provincial government’s website states it isn’t common for wolves to attack or pursue humans and if problems between the two occur it may be attributed to wolves becoming comfortable with people as a result of direct or indirect feeding. The website also warns British Columbians it’s an offence to feed dangerous wildlife. Additionally, wolves are naturally shy of humans, but can become habituated.

NEW HAZELTON - The New Hazelton RCMP detachment is continuing its investigation into the December 24, 2012 suspicious incident involving a teenage hitchhiker near Kispiox, BC by releasing a composite sketch of the male suspect driver. On December 24, 2012, at approximately 12:30 pm, a young female was hitchhiking in the Kispiox area when she was picked up by a male driving a red minivan. After some brief conversation, the female became very uncomfortable with the driver and requested that he stop the vehicle. The driver, however, ignored her plea and continued driving in the opposite direction from her intended destination. The female became fearful for her safety and when the driver slowed to cross a bridge, she jumped from the window of the vehicle. The male did not stop. He was last seen in the Hagwilget area on Highway 62, driving towards Highway 16. The driver is described as a Caucasian male, heavy set, approximately 40 to 50 years of age. He has grey hair and was wearing dark brown glasses and a jean jacket. The New Hazelton RCMP are asking anyone with information to contact Cst. Kim or Sgt. Pelley at the New Hazleton RCMP Detachment (250) 8425244. If you would like to remain anonymous please call CRIMESTOPPERS at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

B.C. changes fees on log exports By Tom Fletcher THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
VICTORIA - Delegates at the Truck Loggers’ Association annual convention gave a cool reception Thursday to Forest Minister Steve Thomson’s adjustments to log export fees and rules. Thomson announced a 20-per-cent increase in the export fee on logs exported from B.C.’s south coast and southern Vancouver Island, the main source of B.C. log exports. He also unveiled a two-year trial where the export fee on lower-grade log exports from the mid-coast region will be reduced to $1 per cubic meter, the same minimum rate as applied to Interior logs. Thomson said only 10 per cent of the annual allowable cut in the mid-coast region is being harvested, and reducing the fee is an effort to generate more logging activity in a remote region
with no sawmills. In December, the B.C. government extended a timber revenue sharing agreement with aboriginal communities in the mid-coast, in an effort to assist logging and other resource development in a vast area without treaty settlements. TLA president Bill Markvoort said the fee increase for the south coast deters export sales at a time when the industry is not cutting all the trees allowed under provincial harvest rules for Crown land. The TLA estimates that since 2000, 41 million cubic meters of coastal timber has been exported as logs. During the same period, 58 million cubic meters that could have been logged under sustainability rules was left standing. Rick Jeffery, CEO of the Coastal Forest Products Association, said the changes represent a successful balancing act by the province between supply-
Prince Rupert’s
ing B.C. mills and keeping loggers working to supply export markets. “People should know that for every log that gets exported, between two and three logs end up in front of a domestic mill,” Jeffery said. NDP forest critic Norm Macdonald said the increased export fee for south coast logs isn’t enough to stem the rising tide of log exports. A ministry example of the new fee schedule shows a fee increase from $7 to $8.40, based on the difference between the export and domestic price. Thomson also announced an increase of 500,000 cubic meters of timber to be auctioned through B.C. Timber Sales this spring to supply the B.C. log market. Jeffery said that will improve access to logs for B.C. mills, which are taking advantage of improved lumber prices as the U.S. housing market recovers.

Terrace airport has record growth By Lauren Benn The Northern connector
TERRACE - It’s no surprise that 2012 was a record year for the Northwest Regional Airport. The ramping up of construction activity in the area requiring outof-town workers was cited as the top reason for growth. In 2012, 139,193 passengers travelled in and out of the airport compared to 120,384 in 2011 and 105,389 in 2010. That’s a jump of more than 15 per cent, with each month rising in the double-digit percentile except for December.
“This whole year, calendar year, is the strongest that we’ve had since the airport society has taken over operations of the airport,” said airport manager Carman Hendry. The largest monthly climb was February at 24.9 per cent with 9,536 passengers traveling through. The lowest increase in passengers was in December at 9.6 per cent when 10,710 passengers used the facility. The largest number of passengers was seen here in August with 13,808 passengers and the runner up was October with 13,086 passengers.
Such increases marked a change in the way airlines managed business here. “This is the first year that we’ve had Air Canada and Hawkair do three flights a day, seven days a week,” said Hendry. Air Canada also had a fourth flight running during the summer months. “They both have capacity for expansion and both have stated that they’re willing to put on more aircraft when needed,” said Hendry. Despite record growth Hendry did say the airport had expected passenger numbers

to rise a little sooner than they did, citing a slower start to Rio Tinto Alcan’s Kitimat smelter modernization project as a reason. “It’s all construction related,” Hendry said of 2013 expectations. “The modernization project has not peaked yet ... We will see that growth here at the airport.” One technological improvement coming to the airport is permit-
ting planes to use GPS systems to guide them to the runway. This means that planes equipped with the proper technology will be able to land in a wider variety of conditions than others which rely on the current land-based system, said Hendry. The GPS landing system for the Terrace airport will come into effect as of August 2013, said Hendry.

Port CEO looking ahead to a bright future By Shaun Thomas THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
PRINCE RUPERT - “One word summarizes 2012 and the future in 2013: Excitement.” Those are the words of Prince Rupert Port Authority president and CEO Don Krusel following a year that saw the group achieve a third-consecutive record year and laid the groundwork for even more growth in the future. 2012 by the numbers As the calendar turned to 2013, Fairview Terminal had not only reached its original design capacity of 500,000 twenty foot equivalent units (TEU, but surpassed it by a wide margin. In total there were 564,856 TEUs handled at Fairview in 2012 compared to 410,469 TEUs in 2011, a difference of 37.6 per cent. Imports in 2012 were up 35.5 per cent and surpassed 318,000 TEUs, while exports were up 44.4 per cent and reached 246,789 TEUs. “Last year Fairview Terminal grew by 37 per cent, and the average for ports on the west coast was less than five per cent. 2012 was the fifth anniversary of Fairview Terminal, and it would be very tough to find another terminal in the world that has grown from zero to in excess of its design capacity in just five years,” said Krusel, who attributed the success to Prince Rupert being “in the right place at the right time in history” with the development of Asian economies. “At the opening five years ago, you dreamed of [meeting design capacity], you were very optimistic. But it is safe to say Fairview Terminal has exceeded, by a very wide margin, everyone’s expectations of success... As we opened Fairview Terminal the world economy was in decline, so based on what was happening in the industry it is an overwhelming success.” Ridley Terminals also broke the record the company set in 2011, growing by 19.63 per cent to ship 11.5 million tonnes of product in 2012. That number is less than 500,000 tonnes short of the terminal’s 12-million tonne capacity and comes in the midst of work on the site to double the capacity. “Three years ago I would have said I
PRINCE RUPERT PORT AUTHORITY
Prince Rupert Port Authority president and CEO Don Krusel would be surprised by that number, but today I’m not because the best is yet to come at Ridley Terminals,” said Krusel. “We’re in discussion with Ridley Terminals to expand even further. As long as there are no surprises in the world economy, there should be continued opportunities and demand for Canadian coal.” Despite declines at Prince Rupert Grain, which dropped six per cent down to 4.7 million tonnes, and in logs being shipped from the harbour, which fell by 35.9 per cent to 327,351 tonnes, overall the Prince Rupert Port Authority moved 22.25 million tonnes of goods in 2012, up 15.24 per cent from 2011. “The numbers are an external validation of the port’s success, but 2012 was a remarkable year in so many ways,” he said. “There is so much happening with the port you almost need a flow chart or a road map to keep up.” Laying the groundwork In 2012 the Canadian Government approved the Ridley Island Road, Rail, and Utility Corridor, a $90-million project that will loop the island. “The road, rail and utility corridor is going to have the same kind of importance to the Port of Prince Rupert as the development of the container terminal. It is a fundamental game changer because it unleashes all of the opportunity of 1,200 acres of undeveloped land on Ridley Island,” said Krusel. “I can’t emphasize enough the importance of all the pieces of the road, rail and

utility corridor coming into place in 2012... We will look back five years in the same way we look back at the ribbon cutting for Fairview Terminal and say that this corridor really opened the economic future of Prince Rupert.” To make the corridor a reality, $30 million each was committed to the project from the Prince Rupert Port Authority and CN while $15 million each was committed from both the provincial and federal governments. With the approval and funding now in place, Krusel said shovels will be hitting the ground sometime in the next 30 days. “The equipment is mobilizing as we speak,” he said. During 2012 the Prince Rupert Port Authority and partners also undertook an environmental assessment for the expansion of Fairview Terminal, and Krusel said that work is close to completion. “Any day now we expect the Minister of Environment to sign off on the final permits, so by the end of January or February, whenever that happens, all the pieces will be in place for Maher Terminals to make a commercial decision to expand Fairview Terminal,” he said. Although the final decision on expansion is up to the terminal operator, Krusel said he wouldn’t be surprised to see shovels in the ground by the end of the year. “It’s a matter of when, not if, because the numbers show that expansion is needed,” he said. 2012 also saw the approval and start of construction on the Pinnacle Renewable Energy pellet terminal and two companies making known their intention to develop LNG export terminals in Prince Rupert – the BG Group on Ridley Island and Progress Energy on Lelu Island. “2012 is the year everything started to gel and really laid the groundwork for future economic growth... Looking ahead to 2020, Prince Rupert has the opportunity to be the second largest port in Canada and grow by five times the current size as long as the world economy continues the path it is on,” said Krusel of all the potential development. “Stay tuned for 2013, it’s going to be exciting.”
Ordona
Rodolfo “Rudy” Panelo Ordona of Prince Rupert, B.C. died peacefully in his sleep early Sunday morning on January 20, 2013. Born in Agoo LaUnion, Philippines to Fernando and Juana Ordona, Rudy worked as a weather observer for the PAGSA Weather Bureau. He was assigned to many weather stations all over the Philippines. Rudy came to live in Prince Rupert in 1973 where he initially worked at the local Dairy Queen and Commercial Hotel. Eventually, he found his successful long-term employment at Prince Rupert Grain. He retired in 2009 from his position as House Inspector. Rudy was an avid gardener and traveler. He enjoyed taking the time to visit his extended family in Hawaii, Virginia and in many parts of the Philippines. As an active member of the Annunciation Church community, he held a fourth degree of the Knights of Columbus and served many Sundays at the soup kitchen. Rudy is survived by his wife Lucy, daughters Marjorie (Mark) and Myrna; his two older sisters Felisa Ordona and Connie Ganuelas (Prince Rupert) and Marie Ticsay (Elk Grove California). In addition he has 6 surviving brothers and sisters in the Philippines plus several nieces and nephews in B.C., Alberta, California and the Philippines. Rudy’s most recent pride and joy was the arrival of his first grandchild, Maia, born August 2010. He was blessed to have witnessed her birth and to watch her blossom into the vivacious 2-year old girl she is today.

Rampage finish season with shootout loss By Shaun Thomas
THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
PRINCE RUPERT - The 2012/2013 season may not be one to remember for the Prince Rupert Rampage, who missed the playoffs and finished last, but the final home game of the season was certainly one fans in the rink won’t forget. Facing the Omineca Ice, the Rampage played a hard-hitting, fast paced and exciting game that took a shootout to decide. It was all Omineca in the early going, who threw their weight around with some crushing hits before Tyrell Turgeon netted a shorthanded goal with 16:38 to play on a cross-ice shot that went over the glove of Colby Hagman. Turgeon followed up the goal with a slapshot from just inside the blue line that sailed over Hagman’s glove with 4:51 to go to make it 2-0 Ice, but with just 52.8 seconds left to play Greg Sheppard beat Paul Simoes from in close to lessen the gap to one heading into the second period. In the second, Vanderhoof’s Donavan Ketlo put home a loose puck just 47 seconds into the period to regain the two goal lead, but 19 seconds later Justin Fontaine responded with a goal
for the Rampage and 1:40 later Sheppard finished up a three-man passing play to tie things up at three. With 4:38 to play Mike Stang put the Ice up with a goal at the side of the net. While it looked like the Ice would take the lead into the final frame, John Hunt scored with 1:22 to play to tie things up and ensure an exciting finish to the game. In the third, Turgeon completed the hat trick with 9:45 to play, taking a great cross-ice pass that left the side of the net open, but three minutes later Ryan Stace-Smith hit the twine with a slapshot from right in front to tie things up. That would be all the goals in the period, but a fight between Joseph Repole and Mike Simoes brought the crowd to its feet. The score was 5-5 when the final buzzer sounded, setting the stage for a shootout. The first shooter for Vanderhoof was Turgeon, who found the back of the net for the fourth time. That would prove to be the winner as Hagman and Simoes shut the door on the remaining shooters. The Rampage finished the season with 10 points, one behind the Houston Luckies for the final playoff spot, and a record of 4-12-2. Kory Movold led the team with 12 goals and eight assists for 20 points.

Terrace female reps make the cut By Contributed
THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
TERRACE - Twelve players from the Bantam Female Kermode Bantam Rep team in Terrace participated in the U16 camp in Williams Lake on Jan. 5 and 6 – and over half of them made the final roster for the U16 BC Cup North Zone team. The camp attracted female players between the ages of 13 and 14 from all over the north, stretching from as far west as Prince Rupert to as far east as
100 Mile House and as far north as Fort St. John, for a total of 50 players. “The Terrace players all had an excellent camp and represented our team respectfully with their hard work and skills,” said coach Mario Desjardins. Seven players made the final roster of 18 skaters and two goalies. Congratulations to Sage Desjardins, Deborah Wraight, Taylor Beck, Marissa Nichol, Hunter Mosher, Caitlyn Ray and Kelsey Roberts. These seven players will represent the North Zone along with 13 other teammates in the U16 BC
Cup tournament hosted in Duncan, B.C. April 4 – 7. They will then be re-evaluated by BC Hockey’s High Performance Evaluation team to prepare them for BC Hockey U18 high performance invite only camp next year. Five other players from our team also had an excellent camp: Cassie Penfold, Cassidy Broughton, Meghan Pritchett, Casey Norris and Katerina Samaras, all proved they are not far from making the top 20 in the North with their strong effort in the fitness testing and on ice play.
TERRACE - The annual Snow Valley Open, hosted by the Snow Valley Nordic Ski Club at Onion Lake Ski Trails happens this Saturday, Jan. 26 at 11 a.m. and is open to all skiers who want to race – and want the chocolate bar that comes with race completion. “It’s quite a formal race designed to be exactly the same as provincial, national and international races and it introduces our youngsters to the way things are done at those events,” said club
president Liz Thorne, noting that racers can register online, and have to know how to ski fast – a more relaxed event is the marathon held at the end of February. It has individual start times at 30 second intervals and distances range from 400m to 6.5 km depending on age and gender. And there is plenty of room for spectators, she said, with soup and a bun available for a small fee. “Our lodge has a large woodstove and seating for quite a lot of people – we expect it to be packed,” she said.
Two Coy Cup wild card spots posssible By Anna Killen
THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
KITIMAT - There might still be hockey left for two CIHL teams, given the Smithers Steelheads’ decision to skip this year’s Coy Cup, and the hosting Kitimat Ice Demons automatically qualifying for Coy Cup regardless of their playoff performance.
After playoffs, any of these “possible” spots that come available will be filled by a selection of the nonplayoff qualifying team with the highest number of regular season points, followed by the next highest, said a notice on the CIHL’s website. The Cup will be held in Kitimat during the week of March 12 – 16.

Cast members of Into the Woods in costume and on stage at Mount Elizabeth Theatre in Kitimat.
KITIMAT - Into the Woods blends familiar fairy tales with an original story of a childless Baker and his wife. In the first act we meet several well-known characters seeking for the things they wish; Cinderella who wishes to go the ball, to find her prince; Little Red Riding Hood who survives her clash with the Wolf; Jack who brings riches from the Giant’s Land in the Sky to his old mum; Rapunzel’s escape from her tower with the help of another handsome prince - aren’t they all? And through these familiar episodes, is woven the quest of the Baker and his wife to find a slipper as pure as gold; a cow as white as milk, a cape as red as blood and hair as yellow as corn, which are the ingredients to break the spell that keeps the witch old and ugly and who in return will ensure a child for the Baker and his wife. Of course, fairy stories always end “happily ever after,� don’t they? Certainly they do at the end of Act I with the wonderful ensemble piece, “Ever After.� But these are the Brothers Grimm fairy stories and beneath the happy ending lurks the warning — be careful what you wish for. What happens after the storybook closes on happily ever after? Will Cinderella be happy with her prince? Will animal rights activists come knocking on Red Riding Hood’s door? Will Jack and his mom ever feel comfortable with their wealth based on theft? So Act II begins with an angry giant rampaging throughout the countryside demanding justice for a dead husband; remember Jack and his beanstalk? The group must work together to deal with this common threat. The play is in its final weekend of performances,, with one show remaining tonight and tomorrow evening at 8 p.m. at Mount Elizabeth Theatre.

Two vehicles in collision By Staff Reporter
The Northern connector
TERRACESlippery roads and speed were contributing factors to a motor vehicle collision on Hwy 16 approximately 56 km east of Terrace Jan. 18. “The roads were clear except for north facing corners. In these weather conditions of
freezing at night and thawing during the day drivers have to be wary of corners that are north facing, especially in the morning. These corners don’t get the sun till later in the day, or at all, and they can be very icy, “ says Cst Philip Crack, West Pacific Traffic Services. An eastbound Chevrolet Impala lost control
coming out of a corner and slid into the oncoming lane. A westbound Dodge Calibre struck the Chevrolet in the rear passenger side corner. The Chevrolet ended up going over a 30 ft embankment, striking a tree on the way down, landing right side up.Police took one person to the hospital and three more went by ambulance.

Liquor seized in the Nass Valley By Staff Reporter The Northern connector
NEW AIYNASH - Acting on tips from the public, Lisims/Nass Valley RCMP say they seized eight 750ml bottles of Smirnoff Vodka from a suspected bootlegger during a traffic stop on the Nisga’a Highway just east of Laxgalts’ap yesterday. The liquor was believed to be en route to Ginglox, the western most of the Nisga’a villages, approximately 75kms from New Aiyansh. The Ginglox Village Government’s social assistance cheques were issued this morning and some residents would have received their provincial child tax benefits today as well. Receipts confirm the liquor was purchased Jan. 18 in Terrace and paid for with cash, consistent with what police have seen in previous investigations. “We certainly see an increase in bootlegging activity when these cheques are issued in the community,” says Sgt. Donovan Tait, the RCMP’s detachment commander in the Nass Valley. “The retail value of one of these bottles is about $25, but they will be sold for more than double that from a bootlegger in Gingolx.” “Again, it is our most vulnerable citizens who are victimized by
this illegal activity; our youth, those who are alcohol dependant and those without transportation. Cooperation and information from the
public is critical to assist our officers in combating this criminal activity,” said Tait. He said the sale of illegal sale of alcohol in
the Nisga’a Nation continues a top priority. The male suspect was released roadside and the matter remains under investigation.
In fact, it’s taken more than 10 years of extensive, careful, and diligent planning to ensure Gateway is one of the safest, most environmentally responsible projects of its kind.

Our team of engineers and scientists has taken great pains to ensure that the proposed pipeline route is almost entirely made up of pre-existing corridors of activity, such as logging roads, forestry roads, cut lines, or other “previously disturbed” areas. Our engineers, and experts familiar with B.C.’s terrain, have also spent years using the most advanced technology available to identify and mitigate any potential geohazard risks — such as landslides, rock fall, avalanches, seismic issues, and marine clays. We’ve worked hard to minimize the risks, and ensure the safest pipeline route possible, with extra measures such as deeper pipe burial, tunnels, and special pipe design. Last summer, we also announced a $500-million package of enhancements to make an already extremely safe project even safer. Those safety measures included: boosting the overall wall thickness of the pipeline; fitting the pipeline with dual-leak detection
analysis systems; bumping up the frequency of in-line inspection surveys to a minimum of 50 per cent above current standards; adding nearly 100 remotely operated isolation valves, bringing the total to 264; and staffing of all our pump stations 24/7. The planning doesn’t stop, either. Working with environmental groups, First Nations communities, and government agencies, our engineering team is constantly refining the route — with nearly two dozen amendments to date. Safety and respect for the environment have been our primary considerations in charting the Gateway pipeline route over the past 10 years. And that’s not about to change.

Derrek Garry Schuss April 25, 1985 - December 4, 2012 On December 4, 2012 in Kitimat, BC, Derrek left us due to complications of diabetes. Derrek will be lovingly remembered and greatly missed by his parents Cindy and Garry; sisters Celina and Emily; his daughter Madison and her mother Carley; Uncles Gordon and Michael Schuss, Darryl (Monica), Trevor (Alexandra) and David (Sarlat) Craft; Aunts Laurie (Dave) Wright, Lucille Harms and Joan Schuss; niece Cahlysta; cousins Nathan and Amanda, Rachel, Diana and Georgia, Mia, Rebecca, Graeme, Steven and Sarah, Terah, Jenna (daughter Ava), and Aimee. Derrek was predeceased by his Grandparents, Norman and Verna Craft and Edward and Betty Schuss, Great Grandma Craft, Great Uncle Joe; Great Grandma Ariss, and Great Grandma Herman. After much anticipation, Derrek was born on April 25, 1985. He was the first grandchild to the Schuss and Craft families. Derrek was a happy child who brought smiles to those who met him. He attended Nechako and Alexander Elementary Schools and graduated from MESS in 2003. After a brief stop in Prince George, Derrek moved to Edmonton where he started work at Kal Tire with his Uncle, later moving on to a plumbing apprenticeship. During this time he met and married Jen Axtell. After two years they separated and he moved back to Kitimat. Here he found a job at Kal Tire and then Snow Valley Ford. Shortly after moving here, he met Carley Carver who is the mother of his beautiful daughter Madison. Derrek loved his baby girl with all his heart and she will know her Daddy through all the stories we have to share with her. His memorial service was held on December 12, 2012 at the Mountain View Alliance Church and interment followed at Kitimat Municipal Cemetary. Friends and family gathered for a Memorial in Edmonton, Alberta on December 14, 2012. The family wishes to extend their heartfelt appreciation for all the cards, meals, flowers and support given at this very difficult time. Donations can be made in Derrek’s memory to the Canadian Diabetes Association.
He will live forever in our hearts and memories.

May 12, 1932 - November 16, 2012 Ed passed away on November 16 in the Multilevel Care at Kitimat General Hospital. His funeral was held November 22, 2012 at the Presbyterian Church and interment followed at the Kitimat Municipal Cemetary. Ed was born May 12, 1932 in the city of Vancouver, BC. In 1958 he married the love of his life, Betty. In 1961 they moved to Chilliwack with their son, Garry. In the following four years Gordon, Michael and Laurie were born. The family moved to Kitimat in 1974 where Ed was employed by the District of Kitimat at the new water treatment facility. He worked for the DOK for 23 years, retiring in 1995. Ed loved music; whether it be playing, teaching or adjudicating. He passed that love on to his four children. He was a gunsmith and a marksman but his passion was the accordion. He enjoyed Chinese cooking, playing crib, watching Wheel of Fortune and the time spent with his grandchildren. They fondly remember him teaching them his favourite card tricks and the recorder. He spent the last three years of his life in Multilevel Care where he enjoyed visits with family and friends. Ed was predeceased by his wife Betty, brother John, sister Anne and nephew John. Ed is lovingly remembered by his children; sons Garry (Cindy), Gordon and Michael; daughter Laurie (David Wright); his grandchildren Derrek, Graeme, Terah, Celina, Jenna, Aimee, Emily, Rebecca, Steven and Sarah; his great-grandchildren Cahlysta, Ava and Madison; his sister Rose, and many nephews and nieces. The Schuss Family would like to thank everyone for the cards, flowers, thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. Special thanks to Dr. Huang and Staff of Multilevel Care at KGH. Donations can be made in Ed’s memory to the Alzheimer’s Association.
He will remain in our hearts forever.
