Going flat out on information super highway By Staff Writer THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - CityWest has finished building a fibre-optic link from Prince Rupert to Prince George. Running more than 700 kilometres along Hwy 16, the new link will provide CityWest’s customers with better access to the Internet, which, along with continuing upgrades, means faster speeds online. “The finishing touches were done in February, when one of our employees drove to different communities along the route to hook everything up,” said CityWest CEO Don Holkestad. “But that one trip took years of work.” Holkestad said the persistence and dedication of staff, along with a little bit of luck, helped CityWest build the fibre-optic line. “Every single employee, in some way, helped get this line built, and they should all be proud.” While the line is state-of-the-art technology, Holkestad said its construction is part of CityWest’s long tradition of investing in Northwest B.C. Over the past 7 years, he said, CityWest has invested over $15 million in this fibre-optic line, which will bring some of the highest Internet speeds to Northwest B.C. “Even when times were tough, we funded improvements in the Northwest’s telecommunications infrastructure, knowing that our initial investment would pay dividends in the long run,” Holkestad said. Fibre-optic lines form the backbone of global telecommunications. Criss-crossing continents and oceans, their existence allows individuals to connect with each other all over the world – people can send email to their friends in Europe, or Skype with their relatives in Australia, or bring up a website from India, all thanks to fibre-optics. In some ways, the global fibre-optic infrastructure is still very young, which puts CityWest at the forefront of the technological curve. This isn’t new territory for the company, however: in 2010, the company built a 1-gigabit fibre loop for School District 52 in Prince Rupert, which is still one of the only such networks in the province. Indeed, fibre-optic technology is the future of global telecommunications.

Kitimat dedicates itself to increasing accessibility ways By Cameron Orr

The Northern connector

KITIMAT - Councillors have directed staff to receive input from the town’s Persons with Disabilities Commission in regards to the 2013 Walkway Plan which will see significant work in the City Centre area of the downtown section of the district. The town’s engi-

neering and planning departments presented their vision for 2013 at a recent Committee of the Whole. Their vision, based on material compiled and studied, includes the straightening of pathways extending from the front of the post office. There would also be the addition of paver stones towards the sidewalk facing the parking

NDP MP Cullen attacks budget

lot next to the museum in that area of the development.. The walkway project itself comes with a budget of $330,000 and staff has worked with the Downtown Design Panel in settling on their plans. Councillors approved the plan, as well as additional costs of $35,000, which covers a shortfall that couldn’t

be bridged by both the recreation department and the planning department’s own financial reserves. That extra money will go to walkway paver extensions, intersections, and additional lighting, with a total project cost of $405,000, with a $75,000 shortfall, before the injection of funds from Recreation and Planning.

In addition to straightening out of some of the curves, other nearby walkways will be restored back to proper condition, and lighting and new garbage containers will be added to the plan to give it a more well-rounded to modern municipal outdoor infrastructure. The major concerns raised by councillors referred to accessibility,

with council’s representative on the Disabled Commission Edwin Empinado asking how this key issue of inclusion had been addressed. Technical Services Manager Wayne Sussbauer said that a curb will be redone as well for accessibility. He added that all current and future walkway works will include wheelchair accessible

curbs which will be entirely flush with the connecting road way by the time the work has been completed. An additional motion to the discussion, which passed unanimously, was that District staff members investigate methods to compel and encourage businesses to also comply with the town’s standards for walkways.

OTTAWA – Nathan Cullen, MP for Skeena—Bulkley Valley, today criticized the Conservative government for its recently tabled budget, which continues a regime of deep cuts to environmental oversight, ignores needs of First Nations, and plays a shell game with skills training for young Canadians. “Yesterday’s budget made it clear that Conservatives have run out of steam,” said Cullen during Question Period on Friday. “They’re continuing last year’s cuts to healthcare and to pensions, adding Mike Harris-style mandatory ‘workfare’ for First Nations.” One of the highlights of the budget, Cullen noted, is not what is included, but what’s excluded. Budget 2013 allots a pittance for First Nations education funding and infrastructure investments in communities, earmarks no funding for combatting climate change, and fails to protect BC’s wild salmon fishery. While the budget does include some modest investment in infrastructure, the next four years will see a reduction of $4.7 billion in infrastructure funding, Cullen noted, which will cost tens of thousands of jobs around the country. And while the government says they are increasing money for skills training, the reality is actually the opposite. In 2007, Finance Minister Jim Flaherty handed responsibility for skills training over to the provinces, but is now shutting those programs down in a move that can only be described as an unnecessary and expensive blunder. “This government has lost its way, and spends all of its time listening to its own rosy rhetoric, instead of listening to Canadians.”

March 16, two males were reported to be walking along Hwy 62 and had thrown a beer can at a passing vehicle. Police attended and arrested one male for being intoxicated. The other was found to be breaching release conditions and charges are pending. March 16, several youths entered the Gitsegukla school during non supervised hours and took some items.

Char and trout catch ban placed TERRACE - Starting this fishing season, Skeena-area anglers will no longer be allowed to harvest any Dolly Varden or bull trout caught in area streams. The provincial Department of Forests, Lands and Natural Resources (DFLNO) released its 2013-2015 fishing regulations last week, and they’ve locked in place a proposal made public late last year to move to catch and release only for trout and char caught in Skeena-area streams. The keeping of trout and char caught in area lakes is still permitted. “Trout/char quotas from Skeena streams have been revised. It is now prohibited to retain Dolly Varden or bull trout from any stream in the Skeena Region. One rainbow trout or cutthroat trout 30 cm or larger per day may be retained from Skeena Region streams from July 1-Oct. 31, however from Nov. 1-June 30 all trout from streams must be released to protect populations during particular vulnerable overwintering, spawning and

post-spawning periods,” reads the new regulation. The proposal was released quietly just prior to Christmas last year, resulting in anglers charging the period for public commenting was too short, that a small proportion of anglers had an unfair proportion of influence, and that it would violate traditions of parents teaching their children how to catch, dress, and cook fish. The DFLNO ended up accepting public comments beyond the initial commenting period. The proposal “really originated from

stream. The proposal also cited worries that increased industrial development would harm fish habitats and lead to over-fishing. Vancouver Island and PeaceOmineca have similar bans in place. A petition by those opposed to the regulation change was circulated around the Terrace area during the first few months of the year. The local BCWF chapter sent a letter to DFLNO minister Steve Thomson urging him to reconsider the proposal and both Terrace council and the regional district were opposed.

Captain Cook Sea Cadets sail into Esquimalt By Staff Writer

THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - During Spring Break, 20 members of Prince Rupert’s Captain Cook Sea Cadets were chosen to attend the annual North Sail training week at Canadian Forces Base Esquimalt. About a hundred cadets from around B.C. travelled to the naval base at Esquimalt, and stayed in the on-base accommodation known as Nelles Block. “Before we went, I felt a little nervous -- just because it would be my first time traveling without my family. But once I was there, it soon felt like home. The food was better than I anticipated and the portions were quite generous. It was nice to be picked to represent Prince Rupert and to go on this amazing trip,” Aaron Jacy North, a Grade 7 Prince Rupert Middle School student, said. Almost every day at North Sail involved being in a sailboat in Esquimalt Harbour, not far from downtown Victoria. “Our feet were wet almost all the time,” North said. “We got experience

with three types of boats. The low-windspeed training boats are called ‘Echoes’. Most people would be familiar with the typical-looking sailboat which are called ‘420s.’ More advanced sailors used ‘Lasers,’ which are only used in races. They are long, skinny and are easy to flip, but they go very fast.” Each day began for the sea cadets with sails “in irons.” Meaning the sails were pointing toward the wind, not flapping around and not pushing. “We would paddle out to the harbour and pull in our sails so they catch the wind. There are two people on board. One is the crew and one of them is the skipper or ‘skip’. The skip is the person that holds the mainsail and steers the boat. The crew mans the jib sail. He or she pulls on two ropes that cause the jib to move side to side and changes the shape of the sail. The skip would yell commands, including, ‘prepare to jibe!” That means that you’re about to make a turn into the wind, following a zigzag pattern.” North said that when they weren’t sailing, the cadets had fun at the base and in Victoria.

Prince Rupert’s

“We visited two swimming pools and saw a movie. We made paper airplanes and had a contest with them. We also made paper boats and had contests with them. We did not make paper tanks or cars, because this is the Navy after all,” he said. “I made a lot of new friends, some of which were the trainers. We talked a lot about the food, made jokes, and sometimes pulled pranks (somebody got taped to a chair). I look forward to seeing them at cadet gatherings in the future.” North said his involvement with the cadets taught him about respect, especially the importance of respecting superiors like petty officers and the coxswain, as well as his fellow seamen. “This has helped me to be more respectful of my teachers in school, and to become a more patient person,” he said. “I would like to thank the Royal Canadian Navy as well as our local Sea Cadets leaders for being awesome. The trips and the experiences they provide have a good impact on my life. Youth in Prince Rupert who want adventures should definitely consider joining the Sea Cadets.”

Kitimat RCMP make arrest in connection to assault By Cameron Orr

THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

KITIMAT - The RCMP say that 31-year-old Daniel Charles Rinquinha was arrested in connection to a brutal assault that left the owner of the Kitimat Hotel in serious condition. Police say the male, formerly of Kitimat and now a resident of Alberta, has been charged with aggravated assault. At around 5:30 a.m. on March 17, police and ambulance were called to a report of an unconscious

woman laying outside of the Kitimat Hotel. Witnesses at the scene directed the RCMP north from the hotel where people say the suspect allegedly ran into a wooded area. RCMP officers used foot prints in the snow to track the suspect down and he was quickly apprehended. Rinquinha was in custody however he was released on March 21 on a $15,000 cash bail put up by his family. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s under conditions not to be in Kitimat. The 50-year-old victim was taken to the hospital

The RCMP say they would like to speak with anyone with information or more witnesses who have not yet spoken with the police. The local detachmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s number is 250-632-7111. At last Mondayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s council meeting, staff sergeant Phil Harrison added words of commendation for those who assisted officers that night. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to thank the local taxi drivers because they assisted us in apprehending the [suspect],â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I appreciate their help.â&#x20AC;?

Nechako Toastmasters will host speech competition in Kitimat By Cameron Orr THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

KITIMAT - Nechako Toastmasters, Kitimatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s local Toastmasters group, will be hosting one of the regionalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top speech evaluation competitions. Groups from around the Northwest will be on hand for the Area 45 International and Evaluation Speech Contest. The event is open to anybody to spectate so the club is encouraging people to come by to the Kitimat General Hospitalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s multi-purpose room at 11 a.m. on April 6. The International speech contest will let participants speak on any subject - which will not be known until competition day - and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be immediately judged on their presentation. The Evaluation contest will have one person giving a speech, and then

others will have to get up and evaluate that presentation. Winners from this competition will go on to a division contest, and from there winners go to a District contest in the United States. Those within the group hope that people will attend the event to get a good understanding of what it is the toastmasters does. They say the skills they help teach are useful to teachers, sales people or other leaders in the community. Meanwhile anyone who wants to stop by to a regular Toastmasters meeting in Kitimat are welcome to. They meet every first and third Thursday of the month at 7:15 p.m., in the same room as the competition will be. They say people can attend meetings as a participant three times to get a sense of the program before signing up as a member.

Offensive warning signs going up at Terrace pool By Josh Massey The Northern connector

TERRACE - The city is going to erect signs at its aquatic centre warning against offensive behaviour after a March 6 incident in which a First Nations woman said she had overheard racist comments. The comments came from two youths between the ages of 12 and 14 who were in the sauna with the woman. City councillor Marylin Davies, who brought up the matter at the March 11 council meeting, said the boys continued to act out despite a verbal warning from city workers. Davies believes more could have been done to deal with the situation. A city bylaw gives enforcement officers,

who include RCMP and the city’s Director of Leisure Services, the ability to ban individuals from city facilities and property for up to seven days for offensive behaviour. “We’ve lost our awareness of it,” Davies said of the bylaw, adding that she believes a bylaw officer should have been notified in this situation. “I don’t want to punish them, just smarten them up,” Davies said of the youths. She wants the signs to promote equal opportunity and a zero tolerance policy toward offensive behaviour. The specific wording of the signs hasn’t been decided yet, but “will relate to treating others with respect while using the facility,” said city administrator Heather Avison. “Our

intent is to get signs up as soon as possible.” Temporary signs have now been posted at the aquatic centre until permanent ones are ready. “We have a lot of good people doing a lot of good work in Terrace,” Davies said about successful efforts of groups like the Skeena Diversity Society to make Terrace an equal opportunity municipality. “Those two kids shouldn’t be allowed to mess up something that has been so positive in this town,” Davies said of the situation, emphasizing that incidents like this are not widespread in Terrace but that measures should be taken nonetheless to remind people to respect others.

Former Rupert trauma counsellor retires By Staff Writer

THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

CONTRIBUTED / THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

Former Prince Rupert trauma counsellor Candace Holt is retiring early this month.

PRINCE RUPERT - Abused women overcome incredible obstacles, from abuse stemming back to childhood to crippling poverty: and on their side they have counsellors such as Candace Holt. Holt is retiring in Nelson in early April. Holt who worked in Prince Rupert, in a Stopping the Violence program, a provincewide service started in 1991. In two decades, she has worked with more than 1,900 women, some of whom have experienced violence since they were in the womb. Holt uses a number of healing techniques when working with childhood, sexual and emotional abuse, but her most trusted tool is Eye Movement and Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). It works with alternate right/left brain stimulation to create positive cognition and change physical and emotional responses. EMDR is a method of therapy often used to access, neutralize and resolve the upsetting memories at the root of current emotional or other disturbances. While the issues haven’t changed, the services and awareness about violence have, says Holt. There are annual days and weeks of action against violence against women, and a community team — including the NCSC’s Aimee

APRIL IS DAFFODIL MONTH

Beaulieu Transition House, outreach workers, women’s centres, Specialized Victim Services, Mental Health, social workers, police and RCMP — that helps women in abusive situations. “Each culture has its own attitude about leaving an abusive situation, and women in almost all such circumstances suffer a large financial loss when they leave. But I’ve worked with a number of people who suffered horrendous abuse and now they’re doing very well. They are very strong: how could you live with and survive years of abuse without being strong?” says Holt. “It is most satisfying to see people heal and move toward fulfilling their potential.” Daily work with issues of abuse, however, creates a secondary trauma, a toll on the counsellor herself. “It’s important that trauma counsellors get sufficient supervision and make time in their lives for self-care,” Holt said.

Waste Management is closing its self-serve recycling depot in Terrace as of March 31, citing the expense of providing a free service.

No quick solution for the closure of recycling depot By Josh Massey The Northern connector

TERRACE - City council didn’t come up with any immediate solution to losing a free recycling service at its meeting March 25. But councillor Brian Downie did put forth a motion to do “a recycling study for the city of Terrace and invite the citizens of Terrace to engage.” Councillor Lynne Christiansen said that “we should be able to do something that is sustainable and profitable to people in the north.” Waste Management is closing down its self-serve depot March 31, saying it is costing too much money. The company does not charge for the service and it is not getting any other financial assistance. Waste Management offered the service beginning nearly a year ago. The city had been operating its own service, a pilot project set up at the old Co-op property using two local companies, Geier Waste and Do-YourPart, until Waste Management said it would take on the task at no charge. Council also heard a presentation by Barbara Tetz, president of the Green Thumb Garden Society. Tetz requested council provide $2,500 to install an irrigation pipe off the city’s main line in order to provide water for the community gardens on Evergreen St. A previous grant from the Rotary Club for $5,000 had not accounted for this unforeseen irrigation cost, Tetz said, and prepping the topsoil for spring gardening is temporarily delayed. Council voted in favour of covering the cost of the new water line upon director of development services David Block’s suggestion that actual costs would probably be below $2,500.

A second presentation was given during the Committee of the Whole section by environmental and planning consultant Norma Kerby on her draft agricultural area plan. “You are at the forefront in terms of supporting agriculture in your bylaws,” Kerby said, praising the city for its vision of agriculture and farming compared to other municipalities but then pointing out areas where they fall short. With Terrace occupying a fertile zone unique for these higher latitudes, Kerby sees the agricultural opportunities to be “a big selling card for the city,” and an alternative to industrial development on some sections of nutrient-rich soil. One problem, said Kerby, is that the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR) is located down on the Skeena floodplain which gets washed out by the surge of spring river water. Her general recommendation to council is to continue to foster local farming and agriculture initiatives through progressive changes that expand agricultural zoning within the city limits. The final draft plan will be released in a week or so, and it will provide a comprehensive study of local microclimates and soils as well as more recommendations to be discussed in future council meetings. The city’s sustainability coordinator Tara Irwin also spoke, giving council a look at the draft energy and emissions plan. While Irwin said the province monitors and legislates limits on most industrial emissions, it is up to the city to enact bylaws that will help lower residential emissions, such as insulation codes to cut down on fuel burned for heating. Irwin also presented the city’s new program for curbside compost pick-up.

SPRING CAR CARE 2013

Are today’s battery-electric and hybrid electric vehicles right for you? (NC)—Today, new car shoppers can reduce their reliance on petroleum powered vehicles by considering a model powered by electricity. Both the battery-electric vehicle (BEV) and the plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) are making an appearance on Canadian roads. These cars are plugged into the electric power grid to charge on-board battery packs – and both use electric drive systems. A BEV is electric-only, while a PHEV supplements its electric drive with a small internal combustion engine to increase driving range. Electric drives are substantially more efficient than combustion engines and drivetrains. For traditional gas powered vehicles, a considerable amount of energy is lost through heat. The energy conversion efficiency from electrical energy from the grid to turning the wheels for electric vehicles is about three times greater compared to the energy conversion efficiency from the energy stored in gasoline to turning the wheels for gasoline vehicles. Battery packs currently store relatively small amounts of energy which limits the driving range to between 100 and 225 kilometres depending on the vehicle. This range can be further reduced by other factors like cold

weather, climate control usage, cargo, topography, travelling at high speeds, and aggressive driving. However, for many Canadians who travel less than these distances as part of their daily commutes, BEV’s represent a viable transportation option. A PHEV’s battery pack can be charged from the power grid, enabling the first kilometres travelled to be driven solely on electric power. Before the batteries become depleted, the vehicle will automatically engage the internal combustion engine. While operating in electric-drive-only mode the vehicle produces no tailpipe emissions. Prospective owners of an electric-powered vehicle are reminded that access to home charging is required – and while there are challenges and considerations when purchasing a BEV or PHEV, electric drives are substantially more efficient than internal combustion engines and drivetrains. New vehicle buyers should make an assessment of their driving needs in order to determine if these vehicles are right for them. More information about the benefits of BEVs and PHEVs is available online at www.vehicles.gc.ca www.newscanada.com

Facts about fuel ratings (NC)â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Reducing the cost of driving â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to our wallet and to the environment â&#x20AC;&#x201C;requires factual information. Fuel consumption ratings can help consumers make informed choices. But are these ratings factual? In Canada, vehicle manufacturers test their own vehicles using standardized testing and analytical procedures approved by the government to generate fuel-consumption data. This data is published annually in Natural Resources Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Fuel Consumption Guide. The fuel consumption values can also be found on the EnerGuide Labels which are affixed to every new light-duty vehicle sold in Canada. Since it is impossible to consistently duplicate on-road testing with so many variables, a controlled laboratory testing method is followed instead. This ensures that all vehicles are evaluated under identical conditions and that the results are consistent and repeatable across all manufacturers. Estimated fuel-consumption ratings are derived from both a city and a highway test, and the values generated through this procedure allow fair and reliable comparisons of different vehicles. The city test simulates a 12 kilometre (km) trip that includes 18 stops, while the

Every driver can curtail exhaust emissions (NC)—When you drive a vehicle that burns fuel, such as gasoline or diesel, the exhaust contains a complex mixture of gases. Many of these gases, such as carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, methane, nitrogen oxides and more, can affect human health as well as the environment. It’s worth thinking about this every time we turn our vehicle’s ignition key. Tailpipe emissions can be classified as Greenhouse Gases (GHG) or Criteria Air Contaminants (CAC). GHGs include carbon dioxide (CO2), nitrous oxide (N2O), and methane (CH4). These emissions from light duty vehicles have recently been regulated in Canada. CACs include carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen oxides (NOx), sulphur oxides (SOx), volatile organic compounds (VOC), particulate matter (PM), and ammonia (NH 3). Light duty vehicle CACs are regulated in Canada and for more than 30 years have been subject to progressively more stringent standards. Today’s vehicles produce about 99 per cent less CACs than vehicles built in the early 1970s. Research shows that if each one of us adopted a few fuel-efficient driving techniques, we could prevent more than a

thousand kilograms of CO2 from entering the atmosphere while also saving hundreds of dollars annually in fuel costs. According to Natural Resources Canada, we can all help by: • Driving less, and instead choosing to walk, cycle, use public transit, and carpool; • Adopting fuel-efficient driving habits, such as: accelerating gently; maintaining a steady speed, anticipating traffic and coasting to decelerate; • Purchasing a fuel-efficient automobile; • Reducing our speed. For example, going from 100 to 120 kilometres/hour (km/h) burns 20 per cent more fuel; • Maintaining proper tire pressure. Under-inflating tires by only eight psi (56 kPa) takes 10,000 km off the lifespan of the tire and can reduce your vehicle’s fuel consumption by up to four per cent. • Avoiding idling. If you’re going to be stopped for more than 60 seconds – except in traffic – turn the engine off. The average vehicle wastes more than 250ml of fuel for every 10 minutes it idles.

SPRING CAR CARE 2013

TOP 21 CAR CARE TIPS (NC)—Owning a car is a big investment. It requires regular maintenance to keep its value and to ensure your safety. To make sure you have a winning hand when it comes to caring for your vehicle, here are 21 of the best – and easiest – tips: 1. Examine your paint for new scratches frequently. 2. Repair scratches as soon as possible. Taking care of them quickly prevents rust and prevents more costly removal later. To remove light scratches, look for quality, do-it-yourself products when you shop, like those from in the Quixx auto care line. Most popular is their High Performance Paint Scratch Remover. Deep scratches may require professional sanding. 3. Never use dish soap to wash your car. It will aggravate existing scratches or cause new ones. 4. Rinse your car before washing to remove grit particles, which could scratch paintwork as you wash. 5. Use two buckets – one for soap, one for clean water for rinsing – when washing your vehicle. 6. Use a water blade not a towel, to remove most of the water, followed

by a synthetic chamois to remove the excess. Wax your car twice a year to protect its paint and help maintain its value. Polish the car in between waxes to clean, protect and maintain shine. Check for UV damage on your headlights. If yellowed or cloudy, a product like Quixx Headlight Restoration Kit can completely restore them to gain up to 4 seconds of reaction time. Remove bird droppings as soon as possible. Soak a cloth in hot water and put it over the area for 5 minutes, then wipe away with a microfiber cloth. Lighten your load. If you have more than a dozen keys and other knickknacks hanging from your keychain, it’s time to lighten up. The weight

can wear down the tumblers in your ignition and eventually lead to ignition switch failure. 11. “E” does not mean “Enough.” Don’t let your car’s gas tank get to empty. Not only is it dangerous to drive with low fuel levels, it is also damaging to your car. Sediment from gasoline settles at the bottom of every gas tank. When your gas level is low, you force your car to use the dirtiest gas in its tank for fuel and risk this dirt getting into your car’s fuel line and engine. 12. Park indoors or in the shade as much as possible to protect your car’s paint from damaging UV rays, bird droppings, falling branches and other environmental elements. 13. Replace wiper blades every 6 to 12

months, as they become cracked, brittle and worn due to ozone, contaminants, exposure to sunlight and temperature changes. This action could save your windshield, and your life. Get more mileage out of your tires. Use the PSI (pounds per square inch) recommendation on the door jam of your car, instead of the one on your tires to keep them properly inflated. Check the battery. Once per year, a car care professional should make sure it is working properly and holding its charge. Check tire tread for wear. Never, ever text and drive. Vacuum the car’s interior regularly, especially in areas where road salt is used. Salt can go through carpets and rust the car from the inside out. Wipe away spills immediately, Soft drinks in particular can be corrosive. Keep up with oil changes. The frequency depends on the make and model of your car, so check with your manufacturer. Always wear a seatbelt.

Rupert, are you ready to relay? By Martina Perry THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - Organizers of Prince Rupert’s 2013 Relay for Life event are hoping to have twice as many teams participating this year compared to last, and are in need of volunteers for the event. “We had 13 teams in last year’s relay, but we’re really hoping to double that number this year,” said Sheila Seidemann, one of of this year’s organizers. “In previous years we’ve had up to 30 teams.” Each member of a team has to pay $20 to register for the event, with teams being encouraged to pledge funds prior to the event for the Canadian Cancer Society. Money collected goes toward cancer research, lead crucial cancer prevention initiatives, and providing support to people with the disease. Last year’s 126 participants in 13 teams raised $67,993 for the society. Teams participating take turns walking around the track for the halfday long event. “The Relay for Life is for every-

Teams interested in participating in the event can register online by visiting www.relaybc.ca and selecting Prince Rupert, or by contacting Sheila at 250-627-1303 for a registration form. “If anybody feels they want to enter a team or get in touch with me I’d be happy to help them,” Seidemann said. Organizers are also calling out for volunteers to organize the event and help out on the day of. Leaders are needed for areas like entertainment, ceremonies, activities, health promotion and food vendors. “There’s lots of things people can sign up for, we need people for all sorts of tasks. We want it to be a day that everybody enjoys,” Judy Levelton, another organizer of this year’s event, said. Those interested in volunteering can sign up online, or by contacting Judy at 250-624-4576. This year’s Relay for Life in Prince Rupert will take place on Saturday, June 1 from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. at the Prince Rupert Middle School track.

TERRACE - Federal natural resources minister Joe Oliver, left, gets an introduction into the art of simulated heavy duty equipment operation by Terrace resident Tainen Creed during his visit to Terrace March 19. Oliver was in town to announce the appointment of a special federal representative who has the job of finding a way to better involve First Nations with the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s expanding energy industry. The announcement was made at Northwest Community College and Creed, a graduate of the heavy equipment operator foundation program and now in the field working with the real thing, took the federal cabinet minister on a virtual tour using one of the new simulators purchased by the college.

Dragons get Rupert K-9 kelp By Staff Writer

PRINCE RUPERT - Another Northern B.C. business person has been chosen to pitch her product before the Dragons, the multi-millionaires who give a thumb’s up or down on investing in the business on CBC’s the Dragons’ Den. Patricia Carr owns K9 Kelp, the country’s only supplier of all-natural kelp products for dogs. She and her husband have created a grooming line and a supplement as well. She said the idea was born when one of her boxers suffered from a dry nose and neither she nor her husband wanted to use petroleum jelly on their pet, concerned the product might not be the best for their animal. A bit of research and her husband found that kelp is excellent for dry skin. He acquired some, mixed it in with essential oils and used it on the pet. Within a few days the boxer’s nose was once again soft and supple. “We’re passionate about our dogs, and I know it’s so important to find something you’re passionate about, no matter what it is, to be successful,” Carr said. Because her husband works full-time, Carr took on the responsibility of what had become a seedling business. “I took it over, came up with spritz and so on,” she said. “It’s been great. I’ve tried to do different things that are obviously unique.” She said they use pure essential oils, utilizing high-end products, each with a purpose. The products they’ve produced help nourish cracked dry skin and dull coats, and alleviate arthritis, she said. The kelp comes from a government-regulated plant north of Prince Rupert. There the fronds are removed with a scalpel, and the stem is left to re-grow more. “They are all in deeper cold water, so the fronds are absorbing all those nutrients,” she said. She started selling the products at local farmer’s markets. “It was wonderful. We got to meet a lot of the dog owners and get their feedback,” she said. “Then we started selling it in some of the smaller markets in town.” She said there are so many recalls with pet products, people can take advantage K9 Kelp is Canadian-made and uses all natural high-end products. She added she doesn’t skimp because the products are for dogs.

Guns and Hoses set to battle against ALS By Martina Perry

THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - While they usually work together in emergency situations, firefighters and RCMP members will face off in a hockey game to raise funds for ALS in April. Going into the fifth annual Guns and Hoses hockey game, firefighters are feeling confident. Many of the Hoses play hockey in their spare time, and will practising on-ice prior to the game. Firefighter Oliver Bredesen also joked the team will be preparing by doing “a lot of push ups”. “We can’t let them win twice in a row,” said Prince Rupert firefighter Ryan Fuzi. The Guns are also feeling confident going in as defending champions, winning the fourth annual Guns and Hoses game 7-3. “The guys will pull their skates out of their bags and will hit the ice… I’ve seen a couple of them go out for runs to improve their cardio,” said Corp. Kyle Trask from the Prince Rupert RCMP. Fans will be admitted by donations to the charity game, with proceeds going to the ALS Society of Canada. ALS is a debilitating disorder that causes muscle weakness and atrophy thoughout the body by the degeneration of the upper and lower motor neurons. “One of our firefighters was diagnosed with ALS last year, so it’s a cause that hits home from us. It will be a good driving force for us,” said Bredesen. The puck will drop at 7 p.m. on Saturday, April 6 at the Jim Ciccone Civic Centre.

TERRACE - Terrace city council gave a warm welcome to the Bantam girls provincial hockey champs Monday night at city hall. The bright jerseys of the gold medal winning Terrace Kermodes lit up the council chambers as they received an ovation from members of council and accompanying fans. The team returned recently from Vernon, and Mayor David Pernarowski greeted them at the front of

the chambers and congratulated them on their stunning victory at the B.C. Bantam A Championship held there. “You act as ambassadors for the city. Bringing back gold draws attention to the city and we thank you for that,” Pernarowski said. Coach Mario Desjardins gave a short speech about their progress over the three years he has worked with the team, and recounted the thrilling finish to the 2-1 final game against the North Shore Avalanche on March 20. “We came together not just as a team but as a family,” said Desjardins.

KITIMAT - The Kitimat Marlins Swim Club had 16 swimmers competing at the Smithers Regional Swim Meet with teams also in attendance from Terrace, Prince Rupert and host Smithers.
