Four companies add to growing LNG possibilities

By Shaun Thomas

PRINCE RUPERT - An additional four companies are looking to locate LNG terminals near Prince Rupert, the B.C. Ministry of Energy announced on Wednesday. According to the Ministry, the government released an Expression of Interest for development on Crown land at Grassy Point near the entrance to Work Channel. Those interested had to show the financial capacity to develop a terminal, experience in the development of LNG facilities and ownership of a source of LNG. The province also asked for the companies to include a project description, a plan for First Nations and community consultation and potential partnerships. The result was four companies from around the globe submitting proposals. Australian energy giant Nexen was joined by the largest producer of oil and gas in China and a Japanese petroleum company, in its proposal. Australia’s largest independent oil and gas company, Woodside Petroleum Ltd., expressed their interest, as did SK E&S, a Korean-based gas and electricity company. There was only one Canadian firm expressing interest, which was a partnering of Imperial Oil and ExxonMobile Canada. While it was widely reported that four new LNG projects were proposed for Prince Rupert, the Ministry said that at the moment there is no certainty whether or not more than one will move forward at the location. With the proposals in hand,

the government said it is now moving to the next stage of the process. “Proposals are currently under review. The Province may choose to enter into further discussions with one or more of the proponents who submitted a proposal. Submissions will be evaluated based on the detail provided as requested, including a proponents ability to finance a LNG project, experience with LNG operations, and plans to source the natural gas required to support LNG exportation,” said a Ministry spokesperson, noting that access to the site would be up to the company. “Proponents have, or will need to, outline the details of the development they believe to be required. The location is well suited for LNG export operations, including space, deep water offshore and a foreshore that can accommodate marine infrastructure.” The EOI process was initiated in late February, following conversations with First Nations. The EOI was officially closed on March 18, 2013. Calls to Lax Kw’alaams mayor Garry Reece were unreturned as of press time. These expressions of interest are over and above two other potential LNG projects pegged for the Prince Rupert and the pipelines that will be required to feed the plans with natural gas. At the same time, there are three LNG plants proposed for the Kitimat area, one of which would be a floating one. The Kitimat plans also call for the development of two pipelines to provide the raw product for the plants.

Fish catch ban plan viewed as divisive for the northwest TERRACE - The new regulation banning and restricting the retention of trout and char caught in Skeena region rivers and streams is an example of the wrong way to make policy, and has ended up dividing a community that used to be united. Those are the words of incumbent Skeena NDP MLA Robin Austin, who spoke to the issue along with NDP environment critic Rob Fleming who visited the area April 5. The two met with angling stakeholders in an attempt to understand the divisive regulation, which came into affect April 1 and allows for the retention of one rainbow trout during the summer and early fall months, and no retention of Dolly Varden or Bull Trout year-round. “You have people who, for the longest

time, have been on the same page always advocating for the protection of fish,” said Austin. “And [the community is] completely split – some basically saying this a good thing, others going it’s only anecdotal evidence, you don’t even have the proof.” Not only is this split troublesome, but a lack of hard scientific data puts the government’s decisions in question, he said. “It’s no way to be making fisheries policy, if you don’t have science and data,” he said. “[Government] needs to figure out a way to be able to do that science.” One way to do that would be to use money from fishing licence sales to pay for fisheries bodies and research, he said, noting that is what was originally supposed to happen when the province shifted to the freshwater fisheries society model in 2003/2004.

Instead it’s been going into general revenue, he said. But a lot of people believe the freshwater fisheries societies model – an arms-length, independent, financed by government through license sales – works, added Fleming. “The discussion we’re having is whether that could be expanded,” he said, noting the program should also be reviewed periodically to ensure it is working properly. Some angling groups have questioned the validity of the process as of late, citing the fact that the BC Wildlife Federation and local rod and gun chapters have not been at the table during recent angling advisory committee meetings where proposals are debated and put forward. The province has said while it would prefer them to be at the table, the groups receive invitations to meetings

and related correspondence, and other advisory groups, First Nations, and the public are consulted before regulations are implemented. “Sometimes there are tough measures that need to be imposed when a resource is in

trouble,” said Fleming, noting restrictions on herring that have been implemented in his riding of Victoria – Swan Lake – where he is running for re-election. “But that was done with significant science and everybody getting

to look at the numbers,” he said. “I’ve seen and heard nothing so far that suggests that was the way it was done in this region.” The provincial government says that the regulation change keeps with the conservation-

first approach to angling, that it is working to assess areas where risks are low enough to restore harvest opportunities, and that other jurisdictions of western North America have similar catch bans in place.

Police credit rescue to cell phone use By Percy Herbert

The Northern connector

SMITHERS - A cell phone was key to the rescue of a woman last week who was taken by her boyfriend. At approximately 10:05 p.m., Monday, April 8, the North District Operations Communications section of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police received a 911 call indicating a female friend of the caller was being forcibly confined in a transport truck, RCMP North District media relations officer, Const. Lesley Smith said. The 26-year-old female victim in the back of the truck sent text messages to the caller

as the suspect drove the truck. The suspect, the victim’s boyfriend, had prevented her from going to work for the past week and had threatened to harm her, the caller told the dispatch centre. The victim informed the complainant via text message the 24-year-old suspect was driving the truck from Williams Lake to Kitimat, B.C. According to the complainant, the suspect warned the victim if she called the police he would kill her. The 911 operator contacted the victim’s cellphone service provider to obtain a GPS location, and the information places the truck south-west of Burns

Lake. The information was sent to RCMP detachments along the route. RCMP, who were familiar with the suspect, were able to identify the transport truck he was driving through the company he worked for, Smith said of the incident. About 90 minutes after the initial report came in, Smithers RCMP on the lookout for the truck, identified the truck by the company name as it travelled west on Highway 16 on the outskirts of Smithers. RCMP took the suspect into custody and the victim, in the back of the truck, was taken to safety.

“These operators demonstrated excellent teamwork and problem solving during this call,” Smith said. “It was due to their focused, heightened response, their knowledge of contacts and use of resources, as well as the skilled coordination and prioritization of the file, that enabled members to locate the suspect so quickly and rescue this woman.” The suspect, who’s name has not been released is scheduled to appear in court in Smithers at a future date to face a series of charges including assault, forcible confinement, uttering threats and breach of conditions.

Election officially starts flying fish By Tom Fletcher

VICTORIA – Premier Christy Clark formally began the B.C. election campaign April 16 with a visit to Lieutenant Governor Judith Guichon to end the current government. Clark began with the dramatic claim that the May 14 vote is “a choice that will do nothing less than define our province for another generation,” and quickly went on the attack against NDP leader Adrian Dix. “I can’t remember a campaign where the choices are as stark as this one, where we have a chance to grow government, grow taxes, kill the opportunity for liquefied natural gas exports, or we have the chance to shrink government, grow the economy, lower taxes and pay off the debt for our kids,” Clark told reporters. The NDP has supported LNG ex-

ports, but wants to extend B.C.’s carbon tax to natural gas drilling emissions that would add up to $100 million more a year. Clark has suggested taxes and royalties from LNG exports should go toward a “prosperity fund” that could pay off B.C.’s debt in 15 years. B.C. Conservative leader John Cummins has emphasized that B.C.’s debt nearly doubled under the NDP government of the 1990s, and has almost doubled again in the 12 years of B.C. Liberal rule. Dix was forced on the defensive after the B.C. Liberals publicized offensive comments made by the NDP’s Kelowna-Mission candidate on a local internet site four years ago. Dix issued a brief statement Tuesday announcing Dayleen van Ryswyk has resigned and the party will nominate a new candidate. Van Ryswyk’s remarks about aboriginal and French-Canadian people were “unacceptable,” Dix said.

The burned remains of a house on Swallow Street after a fire in 2009. The family is still seeking information as to what, or who, may have caused the blaze.

Family bumps up reward for info on 2009 house fire in Kitimat Contributed The Northern connector

KITIMAT - The reward for information about the June 4, 2009 fire that completely destroyed 31 Swallow St. in Kitimat has been increased to $4,000. The blaze, which also spread to 27 Swallow Street and melted the siding on 35 Swallow Street, left a single mother and her two small children homeless at the time. The young family who were sleeping at the

parentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; home the night of the fire - lost everything they had, including their beloved eight-yearold pet dog. While the fire was not classified as an arson, both the fire department and RCMP described it as suspicious and the police left the file open. The family recalls that a resident on Swallow reported that she had awoke in the night and heard a commotion outside the home, followed by a vehicle speeding away from the

area just moments before the fire broke out. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The person or persons responsible for the [fire] have never been brought to justice and we believe that someone in the Kitimat area has information that will help solve this crime,â&#x20AC;? said the family in a news release. They have asked that their name not be publicized at this time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We would like nothing more than to finally have closure for our family. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hoping that with the pas-

sage of time, any loyalty someone had toward the perpetrator(s) has diminished and/or someone might want to clear their conscience and will come forward with conclusive information,â&#x20AC;? the family also said in their release.

Terrace area food growers protest Rio Tinto emissions plan By Staff Writer

The Northern connector

TERRACE - Nearly 30 people gathered here April 15 to protest plans by Rio Tinto Alcan to increase its emissions as part of its rebuilding of its Kitimat aluminum smelter. Here is their statement, edited for length: We as Terrace area farmers, gardeners and concerned citizens believe the application by Rio Tinto Alcan to increase their Kitimat Smelter Operations SO2(sulphur dioxide) emissions from 27 tons per day to 42 tons per day will have a negative impact on agriculture in the Terrace area. Agriculture and the ability to grow a range of crops and raise livestock and poultry are a key component of the history, lifestyle and the economy of the Terrace area. This threat to area agriculture and the ability to grow and raise food in the Terrace area is an assault to current agriculture, the renewed optimism in local food production and the prospects of an expanded agricultural base in the future. We call on the provincial government of British Columbia to put appropriate measures in place to safeguard and protect our soils and air quality so that our farmlands and back-yard gardens do not become the dumping ground for toxic chemical industrial waste products. Over the last several years the Community of Terrace and the KitimatStikine Regional District have been working hard to produce an Agricul-

tural Area Plan which outlines the significant agricultural potential of this area. For a draft of this document see http:// www.rdks.bc.ca/news/ greater-terrace-agricultural-area-plan. A significant portion of the funding for this Area Agricultural Plan has come from the BC Ministry of Agriculture. Given the importance of agriculture to the Terrace area it is sobering to consider that the potential impact of increased SO2 emissions on agriculture in the Terrace area was never even considered in the fieldwork, the analysis or Rio Tinto Alcan’s final application and report. No agricultural soils were even tested!! We believe the whole premise of Rio Tinto Alcan’s Report and application is to use scientific data in an attempt to convince the public and the Ministry of Environment that going from a daily discharge of 27 tons per day to 42 tons per day of SO2 into the atmosphere is well within acceptable emissions standards. When challenged at the public meeting held at North West Community College on April 1st, 2013 to put appropriate scrubbers in place at the source, the issue for the Rio Tinto Alcan staff present apparently was not the cost, which they thought would run in the neighborhood of 200 million, instead the issue for them was what do with all the sulphur dioxide once it was captured. We believe this all comes down a company’s decision to disperse SO2 emissions into the

atmosphere so they will not have to manage it at the source. All of the scientific energy spelled out in the report was put into the justification of this premise. The capture and management of SO2 and the mitigation of its effects is not a priority for Rio Tinto Alcan. We believe Alcan should be required to look after its waste SO2 and not be given the freedom to dump it in on our farmlands and in our back yards. According to the Sulphur Dioxide Technical Assessment Report: Volume 1: Summary Report, we can expect sulphur deposits in the Terrace area to be 10 -19 kilos per hectare per year. (Page 25) A hectare is 2.47 larger than an acre so that works out to 4.0 - 7.6 kilos of sulphur per acre. If we conservatively take the published numbers per acre per year and multiply times 60 years, the average life span of an apple tree, an accumulated amount of 240 - 456 lbs of sulphur dioxide deposits will have landed in a one acre orchard. When one takes into account both inversions and prolonged highs the actual accumulated numbers will most likely be substantially greater, for these weather systems resist upward movement and tend to concentrate accumulated SO2 deposits. Contrary to the repeated assertion that was made at the Public Presentation on April 1st and Northwest Community College, that these intended SO2 increases are small levels of accumulation, we would ar-

gue that these are in fact high and unacceptable levels of pollution. We believe this SO2 increase will impact on our ability to attract to the Terrace area the type of people who want to farm. This potential SO2 increase will also be a significant discouragement to existing farmers, and potential future farmers who are considering farming. Given our unique physical geography and an air-shed that is downwind from this potential significant Industrialization we are vulnerable to having our air quality, soils, vegetable crops and livestock adversely impacted. Unless appropriate environmental restrictions are put in place we believe Rio Tinto Alcan’s Application to Increase SO2 emissions will have an adverse impact on agriculture and back-yard gardening in the Terrace area. As Terrace area farmers, gardeners and concerned citizens we are asking you the provincial Government to safeguard Agricultural in the Terrace area. We ask that Rio Tinto Alcan be required to put appropriate scrubbers in place to ensure that present and future farmers and back yard gardeners will be able to raise healthy wholesome food.

First forum held for North Coast candidates By Shaun Thomas The Northern connector

PRINCE RUPERT - While the writ may not have dropped to formally start the election process last Friday, the first all-candidates forum on the North Coast took place at Northwest Community College. Organized by the Northwest Community College Student’s Union, the forum included recently named Green Party candidate Hondo Arendt and NDP candidate Jennifer Ricer, with B.C. Liberal candidate Judy Fraser unable to attend but submitting an opening comment read by organizers. Rice opened the discussion, pointing to her experience as an advocate in the community. “I have been campaigning for a number of things for a number of years... I have been working fulltime to oppose [the] Enbridge pipeline and oil tankers since 2008,” said Rice, who added part of her motivation to run was her belief political institutes have failed people and created a sense of disillusionment in young people. “I am passionate about the green economy, which is creating jobs while maintaining a healthy environment.” Through the moderator, Fraser outlined her volunteer work in making the region a better place and her desire for growth. “I have been active in the riding for 13 years. I am very familiar with the region and understand regional concerns... I am also a true Rupert booster and very involved in the community,” she said. “I am excited about economic development in the region and would like to see it continue. I will say YES to responsible development.” Arendt, who entered the race the same day as the forum, said his party is more than a one-issue party. “The Green Party gets pigeonholed into the environment party, and that is part of it, but that environmentalism stems from a number of backgrounds,” he said, noting concerns such as poverty and changing the political agenda. “Governments often look at this quarter or this year, rarely do parties look at the 40-year picture... Changing priorities is a big Green issue.” Questions included the cost of post-secondary, with both candidates saying reduced tuition fees would be a priority given the emphasis on skilled workers, increasing transit and the Enbridge Northern Gateway, which both candidates spoke vehemently against. One area the two candidates did differ on was the development of LNG. Rice said she is not opposed to development in the region, nor is her party. “I have never opposed LNG, but I am always going to stick to my values that it needs to be done re-

That includes paying attention to the needs and desires of First Nations that are impacted. I also believe we have to be careful. There are now nine or 10 proposals between here and Kitimat and I don’t think that is realistic,” she said, adding that the market will decide how many happen. “The BC NDP believes we have room for LNG on the North Coast, but it needs to be done responsibly. We have agreed though, should we be elected, we will immediately look at the upstream effects of fracking and examine the potential impacts from that.” Arendt pulled no punches when it came to his thoughts on development. “The natural gas industry in general is probably my least-favourite industry, not because it is the absolute worst but because it is being sold as much better than anything else,” he said. “We are not planning on shutting down any industry, we certainly envision the natural gas industry being part of B.C.’s economy for years to come, we are certainly not supportive of expanding the export and production of natural gas.”

Developer says PTI Lodge is good By Cameron Orr The Northern connector

KITIMAT - The land owner and developer behind Strawberry Meadows had some choice words to share with those who oppose the PTI Group proposal to build a work lodge: you don’t know what you’re talking about. Jack Oviatt spoke to councillors last week, saying he would be out of town for a large part of the process set to determine the council’s stand on work camps, and the PTI proposal in particular. He gave unequivocal support to the proposal which could house up to 2,100 people who would be working on nearby industrial projects. “Everything that [PTI] is offering for that particular area... I remain openly in favour of everything they’re offering,” he said. Oviatt noted in his presentation that of course he would not be free from bias regarding that project. “I may be biased, in the ownership of the land, but I truly believe that Strawberry Meadows is

a premier subdivision in Kitimat and that it is of my best interest that we keep it that way,” he said. “I firmly believe that what they’re proposing will not affect the value of my properties or any of the past sales in my subdivision.” The problem, he said, is too many people in support of the project sit back quietly while the minority opposed are the ones making loud noises. “In this case, they’re hiding behind their identity and not revealing how they will be negatively impacted,” he said. He added that the protestors for this proposal are the people who usually speak against any sort of development in Kitimat. The arguments that some make, that workers should be put into new, permanent housing options in town hold no water for him, saying any new developments are guaranteed to go empty as soon as the construction boom hits its end. “To those opponents who would talk about the negative impacts construction workers will have in their neighbourhood should be very careful who they

say that to. There are a lot of very influential people in Kitimat who are construction workers. I’m a construction worker and I take offence to the innuendo that is being made about construction workers,” said Oviatt. Continuing that argument, he said that construction workers are the people who build the jails, but it’s other, unemployable people who tend to fill them. Meanwhile he said the benefits from a PTI development are great. The sale of the land itself is to go towards further development of a proposed ‘active adult living’ neighbourhood in the Strawberry Meadows area, plus PTI would take on development of things like surrounding walkways, a burden that would be taken off the District of Kitimat. Local businesses would also benefit from having 2,100 customers so close. “It’s time we stopped turning down business opportunities in Kitimat and quit listening to unaffected opponents who understand very little of how the proposal will benefit the community as a whole.”

Name change possible for creek south of Terrace The Northern connector

TERRACE - Kitselas Elder Francis Seymour says he supports the move to change the name Sockeye Creek to Eliza Creek, but wonders if there might be a traditional name to go along with it. “If we could find another name maybe we could combine them,” Seymour said. He plans to continue talking to other elders to see what they think. Eliza Thornhill was sister to the famous

Kitselas chief Walter Wright and was married to Englishman Tom Thornhill in 1892. According to locals Sockeye Creek was originally called Eliza Creek until a surveyor wrongfully mislabeled it. In the past officials from both the regional district and city of Terrace have mentioned wanting to have it changed. Ken Newman, a planner for the regional district of Kitimat Stikine, said that changing the name Sockeye Creek to Eliza Creek would re-

quire consultation with Kitselas First Nation because the creek is on their traditional land. According to the B.C. government’s geographical naming policy any name change should be approved by First Nations if the feature falls “entirely within First Nation Treaty Settlement Land.” Seymour is the latest member of the Terrace community to speak out in support of the recent move by city council member Lynne Christsiansen and former Kitimat-Stikine regional

district director Les Watmough to instigate a name change. Seymour says he is asking around trying to find the original Kitselas name for Sockeye Creek, and to determine if Eiza had another traditional last name that could be combined. According Seymour, it appears that Sockeye Creek resides in Kitse-

las territory that is designated to the wolf clan which he is part of. He is currently in discussion with other distant relatives of Eliza Wright. Eliza’s brother, Walter Wright, was a Tsimshian hereditary chief who is well known these days for his oral history Men of Medeek. Walter had seven sisters including Eli-

za, Seymour said, and hence many nieces and grand nieces, one of whom Seymour is also related as well. Eliza was a trapper, and walked from her cabin she shared with Tom several miles to the creek area to check the line. From her association with the creek lo-

cals starting referring to it as Eliza Creek. According to Ken Newman it appears that it was first labelled as Sockeye Creek in 1916, and officially adopted in 1930, although Eliza Creek was still used in the early 1940s, which dates the change earlier than Watmough first thought.

Student art headed to Day of Healing By Shaun Thomas The Northern connector

PRINCE RUPERT - Work is complete on a gift that Prince Rupert students will be hand-delivering to the Government of Canada on June 13 as part of the National Day of Healing and Reconciliation, and on April 10 students and staff gathered for the blessing of the art. In order to raise awareness of the impact of residential schools and to aid in the reconciliation process, students at Charles Hays Secondary created a tile mosaic honouring students who died in residential school to be put on display at a museum in the nation’s capital. In order to carry the tiles, students also created a bentwood box with a bear statue tethered to the top using cedar rope to signify the past, the presence and the strength of Aboriginal people to persevere. During the blessing ceremony, conducted by Reverend Peter Nelson, residential school survivor Louisa Smith spoke to those in attendance that the impact of the experience cannot be understated. “Even the survivors did not have any idea of the impact residential schools had on us at the time. The unfortunate thing is those of us who survived unknowingly and unwillingly passed it on to our children... Healing is a lifelong experience for me. Some

I think part of this project is going to allow people to feel part of what people in residential schools went through... The more we understand about history, the more we understand about who we are now as Aboriginal people.” The box and tiles will be presented to the Government of Canada during a Day of Healing and Reconciliation by students Noah

Allison, Marina Ponzini, Kimberly Aksidan and Thomas Lavigne, all who played a role in its creation. “When you travel to Ottawa, you are travelling with all of us and we know you will do well as you share this gift from the Tsimshian territory,” said aboriginal education principal Debbie Leighton-Stephens. “These four students are going to witness a part of history. We will all be able to read about it in the future, but these four will get to experience it,” said CHSS principal Sheila Wells. A second bear statue will be taken to the BC Teacher’s Federation Vancouver office.

YEAR-ROUND HELICOPTER CHARTER SERVICES OVER THE NORTH COAST & HAIDA GWAII SHAUN THOMAS / THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

Surronded by bats and under the watch of the queen (Kelsey Casavant), Snow White (Grace Stewart) and Witless the Woodsman (Chelsea Rudisill) make their way into the dark forest.

Snow White in Rupert By Shaun Thomas THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - Performers in the Missoula Children’s Theatre presentation of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs prove that a lot can be done in a week. Auditions for the play were held on April 8, and on April 13 the youth took to the stage for two performances at the Lester Centre of the Arts. The students didn’t miss a beat as they told the story of Snow White (played by Grace Stewart) and the lengths the evil queen (played by Kelsey Casavant) would go to become the fairest in the land. When Snow White’s father the king (Corbin Parnell), who can only say the opposite of what he means following the death of his first wife, brings in an evil queen and her henchmen (Johnathon Lundman and Crystal Vallee), the fun stops for the woodland creatures and Witless the Woodsman (Chelsea Rudisill). Told by her mirror (Amber Linquist) that Snow White is indeed fairer, Witless leads Snow White into the woods where she comes across seven dwarfs (Laura Urbanowski, Aoiffe Carberry, Shade Arendt, Jillian Lepisto, Natalia Cunha,

Aaliyah Mahboubi and Jordyn Carter) with names like Whiney, Humpty, Dumpty, Tambourise, Doc Spectacles and more. Snow White is tricked into combing her hair with the comb of eternal sleep only to be awakened, in an interactive audience moment, when the whole crowd cross their fingers, cross their toes, wiggle their nose and plead with Snow White to awaken. The queen returns with a poison apple and is awakened when Fernando Frog (Jeremy Angus) is turned into a prince and kisses her awake. The king, struck straight with the sight of his sleeping daughter, banishes the queen to the delight of the dancing creatures. While the focus is on the stage, Lester Centre general manager Crystal Lorette said the Missoula program is about more than the performance. “Participating teaches kids more than acting. Boys and girls are equal, the disabled become abled, the shy become social and the kids learn is that they need each other to make it work,” she said. “They learn that if they work hard and pull together, they can create something great.”

Rock quarry company accused of unsafe blasting practices By Shaun Thomas The Northern connector

PRINCE RUPERT Magnum, the company responsible for developing a rock quarry in the Rainbow Lake area, is leaving homeowners in the dark according to one resident. “They have been blasting with no notice or whistle. I actually jumped behind my truck one time because I didn’t know what was happening,” Rainbow Crescent resident Bernie Bernkopf told Port Edward council on April 9, listing a number of times when unexpected explosions occurred. “We’re essentially living our lives in an active blasting zone... Obviously this is going to have a detrimental effect on our quality of life.” This was the first time council had heard of any concerns about the project, and they were taken aback. “If a blast is going off, there are only a small number of houses there and if the company can’t have someone going to every door to say they are going to be blasting then that is a major concern... It concerns me that they

can’t even have someone sitting in a truck and blasting their horn to let people know,” said councillor Murray Kristoff. “They should at least be able to post a weekly

schedule of the expected hours of blasting,” added chief administrative officer Ron Bedard. Magnum president Mike Scott said the company has been doing everything it needs to when

it comes to clearing the site. “We haven’t done any blasting in quite some time, but when we do we make sure that all of the rules and regulations are followed. We

always have proper procedures in place and are 100 per cent committed to safety,” he said, adding that Bernkopf hasn’t spoken to the company about his concerns. Bernkopf’s con-

cerns, however, went past the blasting and to the security of the area. “There have been a series of slides activated and I haven’t seen any geotechnical or slope stability study,” he said.

“I have concerns about another slide or a slide coming down on the backside of the house... I’ve tried to approach the Ministry (of Mines) and have been stonewalled.”

Choose to recycle your milk containers.

Concern raised By Shaun Thomas The Northern connector

PRINCE RUPERT Metlakatla chief councillor Harold Leighton said his Nation has concerns about Prince Rupert’s plans to expand its municipal boundary. Part of the City’s expansion plans include land on the Tsimshian Peninsula, just outside of Metlakatla’s borders. Leighton said the band just received the information and is reviewing it internally, but some of the plan set off flags right away. “It falls within the core of our traditional lands. We’re in negotiations for a treaty with the Government of Canada and the province, and the land the City is trying to claim falls within the lands being discussed as part of a treaty,” he said. “These lands are very important for Metlakatla in terms of archaeology and culture. They are also important as some have former village sites.”

And choose a better future for all of us.

More people than ever are doing what’s right for the environment. That’s why over 666,000 kg of milk containers were recycled at Return-It™ Depots in 2012. And it’s easy to make the right choice a part of your routine; just bring them in along with your bottles and cans.

Saving up for social needs

Feel like dancing …

By Cameron Orr

The Northern connector

KITIMAT - Council has decided to earmark $200,000 from the town’s reserves for ‘social purposes’ but no specific proposal is yet tagged to get any of that money. Rather, the intent was to potentially make the money available to front line social services to provide a buffer against the strain many areas are already feeling with an influx of people into the community, many seeking employment. The motion was put forward by Mario Feldhoff, and he noted that other levels of government do have a responsibility for social programs, but his motion is in response to conversations he’s had with Kitimat’s own front-line providers. The sentiment was well received by councillors but the over arching concern regarded whether there could be trouble as a local government helping fund programs that get support from up the chain of government. Rob Goffinet said it’s a “slippery slope” to potentially be duplicating resources provided by the province, for instance. Phil Germuth agreed with Goffinet, and suggest an upcoming meeting with Skeena MLA Robin Austin may provide answers on how the town could help local services. Mario noted in closing that the idea was just to earmark the money, and to work out how to spend it over the coming months. His motion passed unanimously. Municipal Treasurer Steve Christiansen explained what money the town has in reserves at the moment from which this fund could draw. The three biggest reserves include the cumulative surplus of $1.6 million, $750,000 which was marked for the bridge painting reserve and $800,000 for Radley Park erosion and improvement. The $1.6 million is usually there to pay back any collected taxes following appeals to B.C. Assessment. There are some unresolved cases from 2011 being reviewed right now on that issue, said Christiansen.

Bif Naked performs at an anti-Enbridge rally last year.

Bif Naked performing acoustic show in Rupert By Martina Perry THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - It’s been nearly 20 years since Bif Naked released her first self-titled album, evolving immensely in that time. The Canadian singer-songwriter, actress and motivational speaker will be traveling to Prince Rupert to put on an acoustic performance with Jacen Ekstrom at the Lester Centre of the Arts. The show isn’t part of a tour, but instead a special performance set up specifically for Prince Rupert. Bif performed a set at the anti-Northern Gateway rally hosted by the Hartley Bay First Nation in 2012, where she promised to return to Prince Rupert. “We’re very grateful to be coming back to the community of Prince Rupert. We believe it’s a very scared land. It’s our esteemed honour to come and perform. We hope everyone has a really good time,” Bif Naked told to The Northern View. Bif made the switch from electrichigh energy shows to acoustic performances approximately five years ago, after being diagnosed with breast cancer. “When I was still recovering from breast cancer treatment I just didn’t enjoy doing the rock shows,” the multiplatinum singer said. “The culture had changed, everyone seemed to be watching the concert through their iPhones... I felt like I had lost something special that I liked about my audience.” Bif said she began to appreciate performing at smaller venues instead of the large shows she was accustomed to. “[People] weren’t there to see the dancing cancer monkey; I felt more connected to them. I encouraged people to come on the stage with us and share their story,” she said. Bif noticed her fans changed as well. “There were cancer patients that

came to the shows, people with disabilities that needed extra seating... It became more important to me than the drunken rocker crowd. It seemed more honouring for them, and more selfhonouring for me,” she said. “I appreciate my background. I have had a long, long career and I love mosh-pits, but after breast cancer I couldn’t take one more guy yelling ‘show us your [breasts]’,” Bif said. In Prince Rupert, Bif and her band will be performing songs from her latest record, Bif Naked Forever; Acoustic Hits and Other Delights, which was released in December. The album contains new songs like So Happy Bif Naked I Could Die, and old classics recorded acoustically like Spaceman, Lucky and Moment of Weakness. “The reason we did the record was because we played so many acoustic shows people kept asking for those songs, so finally we sat down and recorded them,” Bif said, adding the transition was easy because she had always written her songs acoustically. Fans can expected to continue hearing new material from the Junowinning artist in the future, with Bif currently working on an array of new material. “One record is more acoustic folk, we’re doing a death metal record, and a record I already have waiting to be released is a dance-house record,” she said. “I put dance and rap songs on my very first record, and all the records that followed were a real hodgepodge of musical genres. I’ve been really lucky to be able to kind of seamlessly flip back and forth,” said Bif. Bif Naked will perform at the Lester Centre of the Arts in Prince Rupert on Saturday, April 27 with the performance starting at 8 p.m. Prince Rupert’s Assault with a Plastic Weapon and Josh Comeau will open the show. Tickets are available at Cooks Jewellers in Prince Rupert, or through the Facebook page Bif Naked “Live and Acoustic”.

“Everyone seemed to be watching the concert through their iPhones.”

Obituaries

March 1934 – April 2013 It is with gratitude that we celebrate a life well-lived. Graham Richard Lea, beloved husband, father, brother and friend, passed away April 3rd with his wife Roz at his side. A self-made man, he lived an exciting, fulfilling life that many could only hope to – from lead smelter worker in Trail, to R.C. A.F. flight mechanic, to CBC broadcaster, provincial politician and corporate executive officer- Graham lived his life to the fullest, renowned for his quick wit, intellectual curiosity, love for debate and side splitting humour. As MLA from 1972 through 1986, where he served as Minister of Highways in the Barrett government and opposition critic for a number of economic portfolios, and during his many years as Executive Director of the Truck Loggers Association, Graham was a strong voice in provincial economic and resource related issues and policies. He loved his family unreservedly and will live on forever in the hearts of Rozlynne, children Melanie (Rick), Marni (Chris), Alex and David (Denise), grandchildren Tristan, Kyle, Alexis, Mathew, Sara, Anthony, Brenden, Davey, and Hannah, sister Doris, brother Donald, and the many special friends he made and kept over the years. Graham Lea will be sorely missed. A celebration of his life will be held at 2pm, April 21st at Royal Colwood Golf Course in Victoria.

Kitimat boxers rumble against Quesnel By Cameron Orr THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

KITIMAT - Two Kitimat boxers recently competed in Quesnel at a regional competition which saw them face down opponents from the host community. The Quesnel Rumble featured Kitimat’s Aiden Abreu and Aaron Lee. Aiden, who said he competed in the welterweight division, faced down and won his bout against a Quesnel boxer, earning the double distinction of being voted the best fight of the night, against 17 other matches. Abreu said it wasn’t necessarily skill which earned that honour. “I think it was because I was out of shape so I let him hit me more than I should have,” said Abreu. “It was back and forth, we just hit each other a lot.” He thinks he could have done better, even after placing first, so he’ll be looking to up his game on April 20 when the Kitimat club hosts a competition of its own. Meanwhile he said he is overall happy with his skill, saying that when he took on the Quesnel boxer he found that he had a lot more technique than the brawling style of the cariboo region club. He admits nerves before the start of the game but said they

quickly dissolved when he was in the ring. This was his first competitive bout, he said, after being in the club for about four years. Lee, meanwhile, has only been in the club for just over a year and said the competition was a bit nerve wracking. It was a different world in his middle weight competition. He said he had tunnel vision in the ring, and it was a different experience wearing far lighter gloves than he usually wears at home. It was his first time in front of a large crowd. Even though he didn’t win in his one bout, Lee does find victory just in the sport. When he started in the club he was 285 pounds, he said. Now he’s around 160. He pursued boxing out of pure interest, and just a little out of his pursuit of good adrenaline rush. Meanwhile, the Kitimat club’s coach Bill Franklin said that they’re gearing up for April 20. After a short hiatus, this year will mark the return of the Aluminum Gloves tournament. The event will feature competitors from Quesnel in an expected six bout tournament. The tournament starts at 7:00 p.m. at the Kitimat boxing gym, in the alley underneath the Trigo’s building.

PRINCE RUPERT - The Prince Rupert Oldtimers Hockey League wrapped up last Sunday with its end of season tourney. Entire Auto came out on top this year to capture the ”Dolly Cup”. They went 3&0 for the double knock out format tourney beating out LaGondola in the final game 2-1. Players are as follows: in front, from left to right, “Mountain” Mark Verde and Brian “Overweight” Munson. Back row left to right, Craig “Noodles” Movold, Chad ”The Chad” Chamberlin, Greg “Guch” Kawaguchi, Daryl “Digger” Swan, Ken “Red Helmet” Veldman, Mike “Stella” Etele, Will “Yes that’s his real name” Barrow and Keith “The Goalie ?” Movold.

TERRACE - Terrace and area residents will get a chance to try out the new climbing wall at the Caledonia Gym on April 20 and 21. The Cal Crag wall, years in the making, was completed at the end of last year thanks to the support of community groups and the tenacity of Cal gym teacher Benjamin Mattheis. Now, he and his students are opening the wall to the public by donation for two days in order to raise money for a scuba diving trip in midMay. “We have a big trip planned for May 17 in Prince Rupert,” Mattheis said. “We are going to go scuba diving and kayaking for the day. The students have loved the scuba program this year and are very excited to go.” The ocean dive is part of the first half of the scuba course, which some students plan to follow all the way to the end.

“The students learn how to use the equipment, prepare for emergency situations,” he said, noting they also learn how to control their buoyancy and take care of a buddy who is out of air. The class is hoping the weekend of climbing will raise $1,500 for the scuba trip. The wall will be open April 20 from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. and April 21 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. It’s the same weekend as the trades show at the Sportsplex, but Mattheis hopes that means families in town will use this as a fun weekend activity. The class has accumulated hours of experience on the wall, earning their belay cards and will be on hand to assist the public. The climbing harnesses are for 40 lbs and up, and children need to be accompanied by an adult. Shoes are also necessary, with a limited selection of shoes sizes 7-12 available at the gym, but kids should bring their own pair of clean shoes. Helmets will be provided, but are not required.

TERRACE - Terrace Little Theatre takes on the topic of memory and how subjective it can be in its latest production. Perfect Pie, which opens April 25, is a hard-hitting drama that explores the role of memory, coming-of-age, friendship and dysfunctional relationships in a small Ontario farm community. Two childhood friends, who have grown apart, get together for a visit and end up confronting their memories of an accident that occurred a long time ago, with flashbacks to provide details of the incident. Four actresses play the girls and the women they become. Erica Wilson plays Marie in her younger days and Rebecca Counts is Marie, now known as Francesca, who is an actress, when older. Melayna Ross is Patsy when young and her real life mom, Laura Ross, plays

Patsy as an adult and farm wife. It’s a drama with a few funny bits thrown in and, although it is one of playwright Judith Thompson’s lighter plays, it’s still very powerful and moving, says director Marianne Brorup Weston. “It’s one of the three or four plays in my life that brought me to my knees,” says Weston about why she chose this play. It’s meant a lot of hard work by the four women, only one of which, Erica Wilson, has acted in a play before, says Weston, adding that it’s been a challenge for her too, as none of them are trained actresses and she’s training them. Usually, she only has one actor to train in a cast. And they are doing great, she added. Audiences will not only get the chance to see the play at the McColl Playhouse, but as one of the entries in the Northwest Regional Drama Festival, here in May at the REM Lee Theatre.
