Stewart’s ambulance crisis deepens By Josh Massey

THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

STEWART - Stewart’s ongoing ambulance services issue came to a head last week with the resignation of two part-time BC Ambulance paramedics—one citing a lack of support from BC Ambulance for remote communities. The two departures left a single part-time paramedic who was potentially unavailable depending on work schedule, and three part-time drivers. According to unit chief paramedic Cindy Ellwood who resigned July 30, this meant there would potentially be no coverage for the long weekend. “Yeah, it’s a crisis situation... we are shut down because I am not working. They said it’s

the long weekend, they can’t get anyone to come up here because everyone is busy,” Ellwood said last week. Ellwood said she decided to resign due to the pressure put on her by repeated service gaps. “I can’t wait around for another ambulance coming from three-and-a-half or four hours away and watch someone die. It’s not in me to do that. I didn’t join the ambulance for that,” she said. Chief operating officer of BC Ambulance Les Fisher said that for the long weekend an air emergency crew was ready in Prince Rupert and ambulance support from Kitwanga, 213 kilometres south of Stewart. After the long weekend BC Ambulance sent up a paramedic from Smithers to fill in, accord-

ing to Stewart’s deputy mayor Patty Lynn, however the service problem is ongoing, and the community has been getting by any way it can. “There was a woman who fell in front of a hotel. The hotel called 911. They said there is no ambulance service, they are up north, we will send them from Hazelton – that’s three-and-ahalf hours away,” she said. “They called the hospital. One of the nurses came down and one of the doctors showed up. A local company ran to their first-aid ambulance truck and grabbed a backboard ... they put her in the back of their pickup and took her to the hospital.” According to Lynn, the number of calls to emergency centres is on the rise due to booming de-

velopment in the region. In terms of a longer term solution, Fisher said efforts are being made to recruit people “who want to come out and really support their community and look after their neighbours” and BC Ambulance is putting on an emergency responder course this September in Stewart. The part-time ambulance staff are paid $2 an hour to be on call, and then get a higher hourly wage during callouts. “I told BC Ambulance they have to streamline their application,” Lynn said. On July 18, MLA Doug Donaldson addressed the issue formally with a hand-delivered letter to Minister of Health Terry Lake asking for an “immediate solution.”

Booms surround the dock at Watson Island where Bunker C fuel oil leaked from a pipe into the harbour. where the problem was and solved that, and they’re doing a cleanup,” said Mussallem. Dan Bates, communications officer with the Canadian Coast Guard, said the coast guard had been on-site over the weekend and deployed an oil retaining boom to contain the slick on Thursday. The leak was no surprise to Tanner Elton, the chief operating officer of the Watson Island Development Corporation (WatCo), the group trying to purchase and redevelop Watson Island. Elton said the corporation has been saying for some time the situation needs to be dealt with immediately to prevent an environmental disaster. “It’s a lot easier to get chemicals out of the tanks than the ocean. We’re talking several millions to deal with the chemicals in the tanks, and hundreds of mil-

in court. “We have to work with the government but you would think, given the length of time and the amount of chemicals, there would be a plan in place by now. There is not,” Elton said. This isn’t the first time there has been a spill at the former pulp mill site. Last year there was a large spill of sulphuric acid from a tank. Elton said there’s

been an ongoing response to emergencies as they arise and that it was fortunate the leak wasn’t larger. However, he said this incident should be considered a wake-up call. It’s currently the city’s responsibility to protect the mill’s assets, including equipment holding various dangerous chemicals. With files from Todd Hamilton

WEEKLY SUDOKU

PRINCE RUPERT - Oil is leaking from Watson Island into the ocean. The City of Prince Rupert, the agency currently responsible for the site, the B.C. Ministry of Environment and supervisors of the former Skeena Pulp Mill have all confirmed, what they call, “a small leak” of Bunker C oil from a pipe at Watson Island. A Ministry of Environment spokesperson said one to 1.5 litres of Bunker C has been leaking from the pipe into the ocean every day for at least six days and the ministry will be taking action “to stabilize, contain and remove the hazard”. Prince Rupert Mayor Jack Mussallem said last week his understanding was the leak was diesel, but noted diesel is a derivative of Bunker C. “They noticed there was a light sheen on the water. They checked, and had a spill of three litres of distillate. They noticed it was actually on the beach,” Mussallem said. “It’s just a slight spill...it was on the beach as opposed to actually all over the water.” However, photos obtained by the Northern View show the oil retaining boom surrounds a number of pilings of the dock in the ocean, with several pipes directly above the location the boom was laid. The boom was placed in a circle, with no area of the shore nearby. Mussallem said the oil spill was brought to the city’s attention last weekend and was caused by fatigue in a pipe near the dock on Watson Island. The Ministry of Environment was informed of the leak on July 27. The ministry contracted an engineering firm that, along with a B.C. Ministry of Environment environmental emergency response officer, assessed the site to determine the cause of the leak. “They detected

Nisga’a takes province to court By Anna Killen

THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

TERRACE The Nisga’a Nation is taking the province of British Columbia to court over an environmental assessment certificate issued for a proposed molybdenum mine on the north coast of B.C. And the company wanting to build the mine, Avanti Mines, has said it will oppose the petition and remains confident in the project. Legal proceedings against the province of British Columbia began July 31, with the Nisga’a Nation alleging that the province breached its treaty obligations by issuing an environmental assessment certificate in March for the proposed Kitsault Mine project before the assessment was complete. “The concerns raised by the Nisga’a Nation in these court proceedings are the same concerns the Nisga’a Nation raised for over a year during the environmental assessment, and are concerns the Nisga’a Nation attempted to resolve without court intervention in the Nisga’a Treaty dispute resolution process,” said Mitchell Stevens, president of Nisga’a Lisims Government. The lawsuit alleges that the province failed to properly assess the environmental impacts of the project on water quality, marine habitat and human health, as well as the social, economic and cultural effects on the Nisga’a citizens. “The Nisga’a Nation is simply seeking compliance with the obligations set out in the

Nisga’a Treaty, obligations which British Columbia undertook to abide by,” he said. The Ministry of Environment said the province takes the Nisga’a Final Agreement very seriously. “Nisga’a Nation consultation was a central aspect of this environmental assessment... We continue to work with the Nisga’a Nation, in good faith, on the interpretation of the environmental assessment chapter of the Nisga’a Final Agreement,” said a ministry spokesperson, noting that the province is "of the view that negotiation is preferred over litigation." And the company that wants to build the mine remains confident of the project, while acknowledging that the litigation against the province is a step back. “It is a bit of a setback,” said Avanti Mines president Craig Nelson, noting that doesn’t directly impact the project’s present activities, which are permit-related. “It’s more with the province than it is with us but it has such a profound impact on our project.” he said. Nelson said the assessment process was robust, with the company spending more than three years and $15 million on the process. “We are confident that the province’s environmental assessment process is robust and that all environmental and human health issues have been thoroughly addressed – years of assessment and thousands of pages tell us so.” Chapter 10 of the Nisga’a Treaty puts ad-

ditional obligations on an environmental assessment that go above and beyond the provincial and federal assessment processes. “I think the Nisga’a are interpreting that clause as it in effect gives them a de-facto veto if they’re not happy with the government’s conclusions – and it doesn’t say that,” he said. “It says we need to examine the impacts and our study came up with the distinct conclusions on a whole variety of potential areas that there were no significant impacts,” he said. It is now up to the courts to decide if the assessment is in compliance with the treaty. Avanti intends to oppose the petition. “We think that both the federal and provincial government were very, very cognisant of the treaty during the development of our environmental impact statement,” he said. “We’re confident in particular with the B.C. process – it’s been challenged a number of times in courts by aboriginal groups, and ultimately a decision has never been overturned by the courts.” Avanti and the Nisga’a Nation are no closer to reaching a benefits arrangement. “We’ve made three offers for impact benefits agreements over the years, and the sign is in the window that says the Nisga’a Nation is open for business, but unfortunately, from a businessman’s perspective, the door always seems to be locked,” said Nelson. The Nisga’a Nation

has said it supports development that complies with the environmental protections under the treaty. “Indeed, the Nisga’a Nation is currently working with various proponents on large and small scale projects on Nisga’a lands, and has supported numerous projects undertaken on Nisga’a lands,” said Stevens. Molybdenum, used as a strengthening agent

in steel, has been mined twice at Kitsault with the last attempt ending in 1982 after a brief period. A drop in prices made the mine uneconomical and a town built for workers and their families was abandoned. Avanti would spend close to $1 billion in developing its mine, employ 700 workers during construction and 300 afterward over a 16-year operation life.

Alaska bridge could benefit Rupert By Shaun Thomas THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - A multi-million dollar project in Alaska could provide a significant boost to Prince Rupert’s tourism industry. Much like Prince Rupert, Ketchikan, Alaska, is seeking better access to its airport on Gavina Island, a route currently served by a ferry. The city has the support of the Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities and the state has provided four options to access the island including two that include the construction of a bridge and two that include new ferry access. While comments are being accepted until Aug. 13 on which option would prove best, Ketchikan’s port and harbour director Steve Corporon told council either of the bridges would likely drive significant cruise ship traffic from Ketchikan to Prince Rupert. “Both bridge alternatives have a vertical clearance of only 200 feet, which is the same as the Lions Gate Bridge in Vancouver. It should be noted that the largest ship currently calling on Ketchikan, the Celebrity Solstace, has an air draft of 200 feet and does not call in Vancouver traveling to Seattle instead. Ships that could enter the Alas-

kan market in the future include Royal Caribbean’s Voyager Class and Ocean Class, which have air drafts of 208 feet and 236 feet respectively. If these larger ships enter the Alaskan market, they would likely skip Ketchikan,” he wrote in a July 22 memo to council, noting the ships would have to retrace a route around the island upon arrival or departure. “The time in port in Ketchikan for many ships has already decreased over the past 10 years due to their calling in Seattle instead of Vancouver due to the increased distance and increased cost of fuel. The Gravina detour would likely add up to two hours to the travel time, which would make a port such as Prince Rupert an attractive alternative.” The bridge options cost significantly more to construct, but savings would be realized in the annual maintenance as opposed to annual ferry operational cost and the replacement cost of ferries in 30 years. The majority of those surveyed by the state, 57 per cent, said they would support upgrades to the existing ferry service as opposed to the bridge. The bridge option was made somewhat famous when then-governor Sarah Palin, running for vicepresident, referred to the projects as “the bridge to nowhere”.

Homecoming starts tomorrow

Grand opening…

KITIMAT - The Haisla Homecoming which was set to begin tonight has been pushed forward to tomorrow. The change in schedule comes as the community mourns the loss of one of their elders. As is tradition in the community, events come to a stop during the time immediately following a death. However the events are set to go on, and the opening ceremonies, which includes a welcoming prayer, opening statements from Chief Jassee and other Haisla Chiefs, plus dance group performances, is scheduled to happen at 1 p.m. Saturday at the Haisla Rec Centre. A barbecue dinner will take place at 6 p.m. People may buy tickets for helicopter rides from the Soccer Field from 1 to 5 p.m. “In Memory Of” balloons will be released at 8 p.m. as well. Vendors will be set up at the Rec Centre parking lot. Meanwhile all day the Haisla Health Department will be providing free blood sugar screening, bottles of wa-

ter and fruit. The events continue on Sunday, with a free 7 a.m. breakfast at the Nee N’Wagilas Elders Centre, followed by canoe races at 8 a.m. at the bay area. At the Rec Centre, there is a fried bread contest scheduled from 7 to 10 a.m., and there will be live music until about 5 p.m., when there will be a raffle draw and closing remarks. A dedicated committee is behind all the hard at work which put the events of the weekend into motion. “It was brought up about how they had a Homecoming weekend and it was a big celebration and it was a place for families to get together and set all their animosities aside and just come and have fun and to show the kids that adults have fun too,” said committee member Kimberly McKenzie on how everything got started this time around. “It’s been a lot of hard work but we’re working well as a team,” she said last week. Among those making the trip to Kitamaat Village is Trevor Martin,

who will be bringing his three-year-old daughter with him. “Being raised by my step-mother and father in Alberta, I didn’t have access to our culture or our heritage,” Martin said.

Now for his daughter Eleanora’s visit during the Homecoming, he wants her to connect to Haisla friends too, and hopes “it is the first of many trips back home over the coming years.”

Province’s LNG plan doesn’t go far enough: Austin By Cameron Orr THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

KITIMAT - The provincial government released a liquefied natural gas (LNG) action plan on July 23, which outlines the job requirements for the several proposed projects in B.C.’s northwest, and provides a list of ‘next steps’ to prepare for them. However the report falls short in certain areas, says Skeena MLA Robin Austin, who was just recently named as Natural Gas Development Critic. Highlights from the report include an estimate of the need for 60,000 workers at the peak of LNG pipeline and plant construction in the province, which is expected to occur in 2016 and 2017. The report says currently that the natural gas industry in the province employs about 13,235, across several sub-sectors, including pipelines, exploration and production, and oil and gas services. But they say once all proposed LNG projects are operational there will be over 75,000 needed. In addition the report states that there would be 11,100 jobs in industries “benefitting from LNG workers spending their wages in the broader economy.” But those numbers

ROBIN AUSTIN are just fluff, according to Austin. “The whole thing is very optimistic. I don’t want to poo-poo the notion of us having an LNG industry...but the numbers you’re reading there are on a best case scenario,” he said. He said he’d like to see the issues overcome regarding getting plants built, but there are several things that could potentially hang up LNG plans. For instance the Clean Air Act the Liberals introduced will have to be re-worked, he said. “Just one plant, one, will blow that right out of the water, so they’ll have to redo that,” he said. Power generation is another hurdle, as to where the power will come from to get these plants going. When asked if Site C hydroelectric project could help, he said even if they broke ground today it’d take 10 years to build, and won’t be ready to support the

projects. The much larger issue, he said, is getting the workers we’ll need. He said looking at professions like mechanics and pipe fitters, the average age is over 45. “Which means we’ll have a huge outflow in the next 10 years of all of these trades people retiring. Are we training people right now? No we’re not.” One of the reports’ ‘next steps’ is “delivering workers to current in-demand jobs in upstream natural-gas operations,” and addressing barriers to employment. “If we want to actually have this industry take place, then government actually has to step up and put some of these things in place,” he said. “The government’s role is actually to do the hard work to make it happen and I don’t see that yet.” He said he wants to see more training happen because he believes unemployment should be zero in the region. “There should be no unemployment here,” he said, but noting that the airport has endless people coming in and out for work. The next nine months will be critical for LNG development, he said. He said he expects a fall session of the legislature to be called, pri-

PRINCE RUPERT - Joachim Ostertag is doing his part to change the cycle of violence against women. Ostertag has combined his passion of cycling with his desire to end violence against women with the Change the Cycle bicycle tour. The tour started in Owen Sound, Ontario on June 20, with Ostertag ending his solo tour in Vancouver later this summer. Ostertag’s daughter Sonya, who has lived and worked in the north, encouraged her father to include Hwy 16, referred to as the Highway of Tears, in his ride. Ostertag completed the Highway of Tears part of the tour in Prince Rupert Wednesday, with the North Coast Transition Society welcoming him to the community with a barbecue. “Violence against women is a huge problem and a lot of problems can be addressed through awareness,” Christine White from the North Coast Transition Society said, adding the society wanted to welcome someone doing so much to end an issue the transition society addresses on a daily basis. The Change the Cycle rider had cycled 4,800 kilometres by the time he reached Prince Rupert, reaching 5,000 km by the time he completes his tour in Vancouver. Along the way Ostertag has been starting a dialogue with people in communities while also raising money and awareness in hopes of ending the issue. Ostertag said people have seemed excited about the tour, and he’s had a lot of positive dialogue with people on the route. “Being on the road gives me lots of time to think about good conversations I’ve had along the way,” he said. Ostertag has worked in a men’s program in Ontario for more than 23 years and said the issue of violence against women needs to addressed collaboratively by both females and males. “I witness the sexist and degrading beliefs and behaviours many men hold and which are perpetuated in popular culture, media and pornography. But I am also familiar with men’s great desire for a better and more equal society,” he said.

Hiker rescued from ‘Valley Snowbirds of the Damned’ near Shames August 14

By Margaret Speirs

The Northern connector

TERRACE - A man who spent more than five hours stranded on a cliff face near Shames Mountain after he and a friend tried a short cut was rescued by Terrace Search and Rescue and a helicopter yesterday. At dusk, the hiker was spotted precariously perched on the cliff and ground searchers lowered him by rope without injury, said police. It had been approximately more than five hours for the hiker clinging to the rock face unable to relax, said police. Two friends were out hiking along Shames River for the day but their progress was slower than expected so they decided to hike up a waterfall chute to cut back to the road, said police. The 32-year-old man started the climb and soon found him-

self unable to go any further up or climb back down, said police. His friend, who hiked out for help, was soon twisted around in the unfamiliar terrain but eventually made it back to the vehicle and drove to an area with cell service to call for help, said police. Terrace RCMP received the call for help at approximately 8 p.m. last night and immediately activated Terrace Search and Rescue. A helicopter was called out to assist. “This area is commonly known by locals as The Valley of the Damned. It is comprised of rough, dangerous terrain, and thick bush,” said Const. Bruce Lofroth, general duty officer with Terrace RCMP. “The Terrace Search and Rescue response in this incident was excellent and the experience of the team members proved invaluable. It is questionable whether

the hiker would have been able to maintain his hold on the rock face throughout the night.” But that was not the end: the hiker, escorted by a Search and Rescue volunteer, had to hike out through the rough terrain and even with head lamps fell a number of times, said police. The Search and Rescue volunteer fell onto a porcupine and had 30 porcupine quills embedded in his arm. The Terrace RCMP would like to remind people who head into the backcountry to ensure they are properly prepared in the case of an emergency and the unexpected happens. “Ensure you are familiar with the area. Carry an emergency kit. It could save your life. It could also lessen the risk for our emergency personnel,” said Const. Angela Rabut, community policing/media relations officer of Terrace RCMP.

Terrace man dies in motorcycle crash TERRACE - Police continue to investigate after a local man died in a motorcycle accident this past weekend. Terrace RCMP report that a 53-year-old man from Terrace died after his motorcycle crashed into the ditch on Old Lakelse Lake Rd approximately 1 km

past Thornhill St. shortly after 1 p.m. on Sunday, August 4th. A witness performed CPR on the man immediately after the crash and paramedics transported the man to Mills Memorial Hospital where he was pronounced deceased, reported police. Witnesses say the 1996 Har-

ley Davidson motorcycle was travelling eastbound along a straight stretch when it veered off the road right into the ditch, said police. Speed and alcohol were not involved, said police. A mechanical inspection of the motorcycle is pending.

An arbitrator has ruled that Air Canada Jazz can contract out the positions currently held by customer service agents in both Prince Rupert and Sandspit.

GREAT VALUE

Jobs of North Coast Jazz agents in question By Shaun Thomas The Northern connector

PRINCE RUPERT -The jobs of Air Canada Jazz customer service representatives on the North Coast are in question. Late last month, arbitrator Tom Hodges ruled in favour of the airline in its request to contract out the positions in eight smaller communities, including Prince Rupert and Sandspit. In its filing to the arbitrator, Jazz said contracting the positions out is a necessary cost saving measure in the face of competition from Sky Regional for Air Canada contracts. “Jazz argues that it is not competitive for work parcelled out by Air Canada. For other work as well, it is quite evident to Jazz that its current cost structures make it uncompetitive in the market for servicing and handling of regional aircraft,” wrote Hodges, who also pointed to union contracts as a detriment. “Jazz argues that Air Canada has recently negotiated its rates of pay for airports employees. It argues that the new Air Canada collective agreement directly undermines the competitiveness of Jazz’s airport services ... Jazz will simply be in an untenable position going forward in its relationship with

Air Canada if it does not succeed in reducing wages and achieving other cost reductions to an extent such that Jazz is competitive.” The customer service agents fall under the umbrella of the Canadian Auto Workers (CAW) Local 2200, and the local’s bargaining committee told members they are looking for answers. “There are some gains made in the award, but there are painful losses. It seems that the downward spiral cannot be prevented; only mitigated,” the committee said in a statement. “Jazz CSA/ACS workers are the latest victims of the ongoing corporate ‘race to the bottom’ mentality. Under the umbrella of ‘financial well-being and economic viability’, companies continue to undercut each other while they scavenge for aircraft servicing contracts. It is doubtful if any other industry has been hit as hard as the airline transportation sector.” What will happen to the agents in the region, however, is not yet clear. “The arbitration award is currently being reviewed and we aren’t able to comment further until such time as the company and the CAW have met to discuss next steps,” explained Debra Williams, manager of corporate communications for Jazz Aviation.

Charles “Max”

HAINES September 13, 1933 July 13, 2013 Born in Kincolith, B.C. to Edward and Bertha Haines in September 1933. Charles moved to Prince Rupert when he married his wife Cam in 1958. Max spent his life as a dedicated commercial fisherman from the age of 14. Fishing halibut in the Bering Sea; as well as herring seined, salmon gillnetted and seined, halibut fished, dungeness and king crab fished, off the coast of B.C. He loved and cared for his ‘other wife’ the ‘Ocean Virtue’. The family of Max would like to thank all of our relatives and friends for being there for us during Max’s short battle with cancer. God bless you all. A special thank you to Dr. M. Reyburn, the Hospital E.R. nurses and the 3rd flood nurses and home support team for all the did for Max. Max was predeceased by his parents and sister Zora Alexcee. He is survived by his loving wife Cam; children Edward (Lianna), Mark, Corwin (Sandra), Clint (Evanca), Sabrina (Ben), Tenille (Aaron); sisters Peggy Mclean, Ruby (James) Lawson, Sybil (John) Barker, Janet (Graham) Stevens; brothers Brian (Nora) Stewart, Evans Stewart and Henry Stewart; many grandchildren and great grandchildren, nieces and nephews.

Wilf Thebes

It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Wilf, on July 21, 2013 at the age of 88, surrounded by his loving family. Wilf was raised on the family orchard in Osoyoos, but after working in the orchards, he decided to change careers and drove a logging truck for a number of years. Deciding he needed adventure in his life, he moved up to Kitimat where he went to work at Alcan moving through numerous positions, and even going to Australia to assist in the start up of Kurri Kurri, a new Alcan smelter. Wilf’s family was his life and while in Kitimat, he was involved with the Boy Scout organization, church and everything that involved his two children, including many trips down to the Okanagan for family gatherings, skiing at the cabin in Smithers and spending time at a summer cabin at Lakelse Lake. After retiring from Alcan in March 1985, Wilf and Kay moved back to Osoyoos. There he became involved with the church, enjoyed lawn bowling, golf, downhill skiing, cross country skiing and wood working projects. Wilf loved to dance at every function they attended and everyone knew he was around by his whistle. His dedication as “The Number One Grandpa” was watching his grandchildren, Kali, Kevin and Kristi grow and support them in whatever they were doing. Grandpa was the best taxi driver, sideline coach, ski instructor. He did it all. He always had the “biggest” smile of how proud he was of all of them.

In Wilf’s world of meeting people, he touched everyone in a special way and these memories of his kindness will live on in us all. Wilf was predeceased by his father, August Thebes, Mother, Else Thebes and son, William (Bill) Thebes. Wilf will always and forever be rememberd by his loving family, including his wife of 65 years, Kay Thebes; daughter Debbie Gehringer (Gordon); and his grandchildren Kali, Kevin and Kristi; stepbrother Ed Sturn (Omi), nephew Todd, niece Arlene and all the family that are helping at this time of loss. A celebration of Wilf’s life will be held at St. Christopher’s Anglican Church, Osoyoos on Friday, August 9 at 11:00am. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made: In Memory of Wilf Thebes: SOGH Acute Care, c/o South Okanagan General Hospital, 911 McKinney Rd. Oliver, BC V0H1T3. These donations will go towards the purchase of equipment at the South Okanagan General Hospital, where Wilf thought the staff was awesome. Condolences and tributes may be directed to the family by visiting www.nunes-pottinger.com. Arrangements entrusted to Nunes-Pottinger Funeral Service.

His and Hers hit the links in Rupert By Todd Hamilton

THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - Cathy Horcoff and Sten Sundin pulled off a Tiger Woods-like performance on Saturday dominating the field at the Prince Rupert Golf Course’s His and Hers tournament by seven strokes. Sundin and Horcoff carded an alternate-shot 75, seven better than the second place team of Audrey Bryar and Sandy Anderson. The duo of Mark and Carol Bryant, with a combined handicap of 24.5, signed off on a round of 85, net 60.5 to capture the Low Net title. “It was Mark’s drive on No. 9 that did it,” Carol Bryant said. “He hit a really [long] ball and I managed to get it on the green in two.” “We missed the eagle putt, but ... that kinda did it for us,” Mark said. The team of Abby Rosario and Margaret Chan, 21-handicappers, finished in second with a round of 87, net 66. Despite what many at club are calling the best condition the Centennial Course has been in for decades, low numbers have plagued many of this year’s events. Only 12 teams entered into the 2013 edition of the His and Hers Golf Tournament. Chip Notes: Al Green recorded the second hole-in-one of the 2013 season at the golf club last week. Green aced the 136-yard, Par-3 second hole.

Column: Riders’ sheets on blazing pace By Bruce Penton THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

That was quite a season Kory Sheets had in July. If the Saskatchewan Roughriders’ running back can somehow maintain his July pace throughout the 18-game Canadian Football League season, he will obliterate the CFL’s single-season rushing record by about 500 yards. That’s in the sports stratosphere — 92 goals by Wayne Gretzky territory; Barry Bonds’ 76 home runs neighbourhood. Born one day before April Fool’s Day in 1985, the 28-year-old Sheets gave notice last year in his rookie season he knew a few things about hitting holes and slicing off major yardage, totalling 1,277 yards to finish runner-up to Calgary’s Jon Cornish, 180 yards behind. Apparently, he was just getting warmed up. The Purdue Boilermaker grad ran roughshod over CFL defences in the Riders’ first five games this year as they went 5-0. Sheets rattled off 712 yards in those five starts, an average of 142 yards per game that extrapolates to 2,500 yards-plus for the season if he’s able to maintain

Bruce Penton

Overtime that pace. (Last year, 712 yards for the entire season would have put Sheets No. 7 in the CFL rushing department.) It’s not a shock to note he was named the CFL’s offensive player of the month for July. Winning is Sheets’ No. 1 goal, he told CFL.ca but he says he’s well aware of how his rushing stats stack up each game. And so is his offensive line. “Honestly I think they have more pride in it,” Sheets told CFL.ca of his front five. Mike Pringle, the CFL’s all-time leading career rusher, holds the single-season mark at 2,065. Sheets

would have to average just 104 yards per game the rest of the way to grab the single-season mark. His lowest single-game total through the first five was 130 yards. Averaging 104 the rest of the way shouldn’t be a problem. Of course, if the Riders keep rolling as they did in July, their last few games in October may be meaningless, which might tempt coach Corey Chamblin to scale back Sheets’ playing time to keep him fresh for the playoffs. On the other hand, if an all-time league rushing record is within view, fans in Rider Nation will insist on seeing No. 1 (on the uniform, and in Rider fans’ hearts) taking handoffs and hitting the holes. • Greg Cote of the Miami Herald: “Chicagoans were outraged to see a photo of Justin Bieber in the Blackhawks locker room posing with the Stanley Cup. What that tells us is, except for adolescent girls who haven’t defected to One Direction yet, just about everybody hates Justin Bieber.” • Brad Dickson of the Omaha World-Herald: “The Edmonton Oilers fired coach Ralph Krueger over Skype. Ah, the age we live in.

Krueger was then able to moon the owner on Instagram.” • Cote again: “The Marlins had a magician, Michael Grandinetti, performing during a recent game. Fans were disappointed, though, when he failed to make owner Jeffrey Loria disappear.” • Alex Kaseberg on O.J. Simpson, who has gained a few pounds while in jail: “O.J. Simpson is so fat he wants to go on a long slow police chase in a Good Humor truck.” • Colin Cowherd of ESPN, on Twitter, about Alex Rodriguez playing in in the minors on a rehab assignment two days prior to his anticipated suspension announcement: “ARod batting second, playing third and pleading the fifth in Trenton tonight.” • R.J. Currie of sportsdeke.com: “NASCAR driver Danica Patrick was chosen No. 1 of Sportsnet’s most attractive female athletes. I imagine it surprised Danica; she’s not used to finishing first.” • Another one from Dickson: “Brian Urlacher is retiring after 13 years with the Chicago Bears. Experts say, in another five years,

Urlacher should stop hearing Jay Cutler whining in his sleep.” • Another one from Cote: “Kansas football coach Charlie Weis referred to last year’s 1-11 team as ‘a pile of crap.’ It was considered an insult. To crap.” • Hall of Famer Dave Winfield, to the St. Paul Pioneer Press, on baseball’s PED users: “They got their money, they won their awards and they lost their reputations.” • Mike Hart of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel: “Two retail stores have cut prices on Ryan Braun jerseys and shirts. They’d be great to wear golfing in case you have to improve your lie.” • Another one from R.J. Currie, on Stacy Keibler’s split with actor George Clooney: “Probably not the first ex-wrestler who doesn’t want to be pinned down.” • Steve Simmons of Sunmedia, on the underachieving Blue Jays taking three of four from lowly Houston: “There is nothing wrong with the Jays that 162 games against the Astros wouldn’t correct.” Care to comment?

Hazelton pulls out of CIHL

HAZELTON - The upcoming Central Interior Hockey League (CIHL) schedule is being reworked after the Hazelton Wolverines withdrew from the league, citing lack of community support and discovery of previous year’s debt, reads a notice posted on the CIHL website. The Wolverives had re-applied and been accepted back into the CIHL at this year’s AGM. The Omenica Ice of Vanderhoof informed the league they would not be playing this year, and the addition of the Wolverines would have kept the existing east/west split of the league in tact. It is still unclear how this will affect the 2013/2014 schedule. The CIHL is made up of teams from Prince Rupert, Terrace, Kitimat, Smithers, Williams Lake, Houston, and Quesnel.

Terrace Gran Fondo is Sunday

TERRACE - Terrace cyclists are switching it up this year, and instead of the annual Skeena River Challege there will be a new gran fondo ride to Rosswood and back. The 80 km route starts at Northwest Community College at 1 p.m. this Sunday, August 11. Riders will head 40 km up Hwy 113 to the Rosswood General Store and loop back. “It is a race but more importantly, a gran fondo ride that encourages participation from all road riders,” said organizer Michael Bruce. More information can be found through contacting Bruce, or checking out the Bicycling in Terrace Facebook page. And the 2013 McBike Wild Descent is happening on Copper Mountain next Sunday, Aug. 18. The event starts at 1 p.m. with registration running from 11 a.m. - 12 p.m. The format is best two runs of Packhorse out of three. Contact Bruce Martindale for more information, or if you would like to volunteer.
