PRINCE RUPERT - The City of Prince Rupert and Sun Wave Forest Products have reached an outof-court settlement, putting an end to a lengthy court battle and any future claims on the city by the company. Under the terms of the settlement, the city will not pay Sun Wave any money and will work to decommission the mill over the next 24 to 30 months. The settlement also gives the City of Prince Rupert clear title to the
former pulp mill site, allowing it to work toward the sale of the site to the Watson Island Development Corporation (WatCo). “This is excellent news. The private sector can now move on with repurposing Watson Island, resulting in numerous jobs, while the mill is decommissioned,” said Mayor Jack Mussallem, noting a change in management played a role in resolving the matter. “Congratulations are in order for our new city manager, Robert Long, who has taken on this complicated file and found a workable solution that is good
for Prince Rupert,” said Mayor Mussallem. WatCo intends to repurpose the mill as a private multi-modal port using the land and docking facilities to service the coming industrial activity in the Prince Rupert region. An overall environmental remediation plan will be sought from the Province of British Columbia and the site will be remediated as the mill site is decommissioned. Elton Tanner, chief operating officer for WatCo, noted there is still much to be done. “It is still a long way from a
done deal,” he said, also noting the efforts of Long. “He shook the bag, he changed things.” Mussallem said the plan now is to sell the equipment and scrap metal on the site, and it is anticipated there will be a lot of interest from the private sector to decommission the mill. The City of Prince Rupert took control of Watson Island in 2009 when Sun Wave failed to pay taxes owed on the site. In Feb. 2010, however, the company filed suit against the city, disputing ownership of the lands and equipment in the site.

VICTORIA - ICBC has applied for a 4.9 per cent rate increase to its basic vehicle insurance rates to take effect Nov. 1. For an average driver who now pays $1,369 a year for basic insurance, the increase would add an extra $36. In its rate application to the B.C. Utilities Commission, ICBC is also seeking a four per cent decrease in optional coverage that would reduce that annual bill by $25. The last rate increase was 11 per cent in 2012, coupled with a six per cent cut in optional insurance where ICBC competes with private insurers. In an open letter to customers, Mark Blucher, interim CEO
of ICBC, says the increase is needed to keep up with increasing bodily injury claims, with higher payouts as more people turn to lawyers to dispute their insur-

Highways on agenda for government meet By Cameron Orr The Northern connector
KITIMAT - Kitimat will make a pitch to the provincial government to implement a new meningitis vaccine program in the province, while the regional district wants to hold the Ministry of Transportation to task over maintenance of our highways. Those are among the many motions on the table for voting at the Union of B.C. Municipalities (UBCM) annual conference on Sept. 16. The conference is the annual gathering of representatives of all B.C. towns, which together pitch issues and ideas directly to the province. The District of Kitimat’s motion relates to earlier council meetings with Janet Munro, who represents MeningitisBC.org, a group committed to getting the province to provide a vaccine program which covers the MCV4 vaccine, which gives more comprehensive protec-
tion against meningitis strands. If passed, the motion calls for the new vaccine program to be implemented in all secondary schools by April 24, 2014. Meanwhile, the Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine is hoping the UBCM will back them on calling on the Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure to “revise the provincial standards for road maintenance for future road maintenance contracts, to meet public safety needs.” Within the motion itself the regional district notes that “northern BC residents consistently declare road maintenance fails to meet travellers’ requirements and that standards have deteriorated since privatization of road maintenance,” as well as points out that road maintenance contractors consistently meet their contractual obligations. This complements another motion from the RDKS asking that the
classification of Highway 16 be reclassified from a Class B to a Class A. Among the motion’s ‘whereas’ clauses, one points to Highway 16’s critical importance to the economy of the region, province and nation, “and requires the highest standards of maintenance.” According to the Ministry of Transportation, highways in B.C. are classified from A to F, effectively highest priority to lowest. Class A highways are “the main, high volume highways.” Class B, which is what the majority of Highway 16 is (except for through communities such as Terrace and Smithers), is defined as “routes that are main numbered highways, but not as much traffic as Class A.” Highway 37S, from Terrace to Kitimat, is a Class A highway. A Ministry spokesperson said that there are no current plans within the department to change classifications.

Earthquakes hit the west coast By Shaun Thomas
THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
PRINCE RUPERT - The plates below the Pacific Ocean were active this week with six earthquakes hitting the waters of Bella Bella. The U.S. Geological Survey reports a magnitude 6.1 earthquake that hit 191 km southwest of Bella Bella, B.C. at 1:19 p.m. on Monday. The quake registered at a depth of just one kilometre, but spurred on two aftershocks that were large in their own right. The first aftershock, a magnitude 4.6 earthquake, came at 2:05 p.m. just 10 km from the first shake. 20 minutes later a second, larger aftershock measured 4.8 on
the richter scale and came just 8 km from the initial epicentre. That evening, in the near vicinity, there were aftershocks of magnitude 4.2, 5.0 and 5.9. Despite the magnitude of the earthquake and the aftershocks, Canada Earthquake said none of it was felt by people on the coast, there was no damage and there was none expected as a result. There was no tsunami warning issued as no major wave action was expected to hit the coast. The earthquakes on Tuesday followed a magnitude 3.9 earthquake recorded 119 km southwest of Port alice on Vancouver Island at 5:49 p.m. on Monday evening.

THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
KITIMAT - It’s that time again as the Kitimat Ice Demons Senior Men’s AA hockey team starts preparing for the 2013-14 Central Interior Hockey League season. The Ice Demons will be entering its twelfth season in the league and are again hoping to ice a strong team, with a large proportion of the existing core group of players expected to return. Official tryouts for the team will be held at Tamitik Arena on September 9 and 10, (9:15 to 10:30 p.m., to be
followed by two inter-squad games, on September 12 & 14. The September 12 game is scheduled to start at 9:15 p.m. and the game on September 14 will face off at 7:30 p.m. There is a minimum age limit of 18 years unless cleared with manager Terry Marleau (632-7378) or head coach Cliff Madsen (6399881). Fans are welcome at all practice and inter-squad games. Coach Madsen reminds participants that the try-outs are full contact hockey. “I’m looking forward
from what I’ve heard ahead of the tryouts for there to be a lot of competition for forward line sports, but we may be challenged a little with our defensive lineup as a result of a couple of team retirements — including long-time defenseman, Dave Venman — but there’s always a surprise of two when the players show up to try out,” said Madsen. “And we’re not sure what additional talent might be available from contract and project workers in town, who will also be welcome at our tryouts and inter-squad games,” Madsen said.

TERRACE - BC Hydro is turning off power to thousands of people east of here Sept. 8 so it can move transmission towers and power lines. The outage affecting people from Kitwanga to Telkwa in the Bukley Valley is necessary because spring 2012 runoff waters eroded the land around one of the towers on the banks of the Bulkley River, stranding the tower by creating a small island. “For emergency and maintenance access reasons, this not an acceptable situation,” says Dave Mosure from BC Hydro. “Crews immediately made the situation safe with temporary repairs to ensure the supply to the communities fed by this line.” Crews since then have worked to set up permanent towers and are close to completion. But that means turning off the power to safely move wires, said Mosure. For safety reasons, this cannot be accomplished with the lines energized. These lines carry hundreds of thousands of volts. Accidents with any electrical current are serious, but at this level there’s no room for error,” he said. The outage is scheduled to start at 6 a.m. and last until 6 p.m. and Sept. 8 was chosen after speaking to people in the communities. “As always, crews will work to restore service as quickly as safely possible. BC Hydro appreciates customers’ patience and understanding as crews work to make these necessary repairs to ensure the dependable supply of electricity,” said Mosure. Because the outage will affect service stations along Hwy16 between the two communities, BC Hydro is warning travelers to be aware of the situation before leaving home. And it’s telling people to limit the opening of fridges and freezers during the outage. The tower stranded by high water is located below the recycling plant just outside of Smithers on the way to Telkwa.

Province has inadequate oil spill response in place By Jeff Nagel The Northern connector
VICTORIA - Environment Minister Mary Polak says advice she got from staff in June on the inadequacy of B.C.’s oil spill response capability largely underscored what the government had already disclosed a year ago. She was responding to the Freedom of Information release of her ministerial briefing book, which warned the environment ministry isn’t adequately staffed to meet existing oil spill risks, let alone those from proposed new export pipelines. “Even a moderate-sized spill would overwhelm the province’s ability to respond and could result in a significant liability for government,” the document said. On land, it noted, an hourlong spill from Enbridge’s proposed Northern Gateway project could spill 21,000 barrels of diluted bitumen into the B.C. wilderness. Polak said in an interview little of the information came as
a surprise.

“Even a moderatesized spill would overwhelm the province’s ability to respond.”
cused the province of stacking its oil spill advisory committee with industry representatives and said that’s unlikely to lead to world-leading spill prevention policies. “The government is allowing the oil industry to dominate the discussion, when a major spill would devastate not only our environment but other key industries like fishing and tourism, whose interests should be represented at the table,” he said. Polak said more sectors will be consulted, but added it’s reasonable to work closely with the industry at the outset to evaluate its operations and capabilities. A land spill response corporation or cooperative funded by industry, similar to the one charged with cleanup of marine spills, is one potential option. Petroleum movers want to be involved, she added. “They recognize it’s part of the social licence they need to have in place to operate in this province,” Polak said.

Volunteers key to the Red Cross

THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
TERRACE - After Kara Escott had her leg surgery, she went to the Red Cross Health Equipment Loan Program to borrow equipment to help in her recovery. She was so impressed with the service that, after her recovery, Escott decided to join the Red Cross volunteer team. “I really love helping people who are in a position of need,” said Escott. “My plan is to attend nursing school, a decision I made because of how much I’ve enjoyed helping people here at Red Cross.” Escott started volunteering in November 2012. She started by washing and maintaining the health equipment, ensuring they are sanitized and in perfect working order before being loaned out to another client. She is now the lead volunteer for the Terrace Health Equipment Loan Program location and manages all the other volunteers. The Canadian Red Cross Health Equipment Loan Program is a community-based program - mostly supported by volunteers like Escott - that loans essential health equipment to individuals on a by-donation basis. Access to this service lets seniors stay at

Escott finds volunteering with Red Cross to be a great social outlet in addition to providing a much-needed service and she hopes more volunteers will join her in Terrace. “We’re such a necessary part of the com-
munity, and it would be great to have more people join our team so we can provide an even better service to the community.” Various positions are available, including customer service, data entry, equipment cleaning and drivers.

Phone book winner chosen By Shaun Thomas
THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
PRINCE RUPERT - Prince Rupert’s Robb Rydde will soon have one of his photos in every household in the city. Rydde is the winner of the 2014 Prince Rupert Yellow Pages directory photo contest and his shot of the moon rising over Mount Hays will be on the cover of next year’s phone book. The photo was taken on June 22, a clear night when Rydde found out the moon would be closer to earth than any other time of the year. “So I went to the civic centre parking lot and used the top of my car as a tripod,” recalls Rydde. “It was about 1 a.m. when I captured the photo. I really liked how the trees framed the moon, so I posted it on my Facebook page. One of my friends saw it and encouraged me to submit it to the photo contest.” The picture was one of more than 60 submitted for consideration for the phone
book cover and, after being narrowed down, the pictures were posted on a Facebook poll at the end of July to determine the winner. Rydde’s picture captured 18 per cent of the 580 votes cast. “Robb’s picture will be a great representation of Prince Rueprt for the directory. I’m sure there are many people in town who remember a time when they’ve seen the moon just coming up over Mount Hays — it’s definitely one of those things that makes Prince Rupert unique,” said CityWest sales and marketing manager Chris Armstrong. This is the first year that residents of Prince Rupert have a had a say as to which picture they want on the directory, as CityWest staff have always chosen the winner in the past and kept it a surprise for the community. Along with the new cover, people can expect a new size for the phone book. This year, the Yellow Pages group is moving to a 7-inch by 9-inch size to be more user friendly.

After six months, Brooks family still seeking justice for Justin
Martina Perry / the NORTHERN CONNECTOR

The Northern connector
PRINCE RUPERT - Today marks the sixmonth anniversary of the discovery of 21-year-old Justin Brooks in Prince Rupert’s harbour. With the half-year mark passing, Brooks’ family is happy to say they feel they’re close to finding answers about the details of Justin’s death. But they’re upset they’ve had to push to find a reason why they had to bury the young man. “It shouldn’t have taken this long. They knew who assaulted him and they weren’t even put in jail [for the same amount of time someone who is put in the drunk tank is],” Cheryl Ryan, Brooks’ mother, said. While the investigation is ongoing, Prince Rupert RCMP are not releasing any new information on Brooks’ passing at this time. Matt Ericson, spokesperson for the Prince Rupert RCMP, has recently said there is no evidence or information to support Brooks’ death involving foul play or being suspicious in nature. But the family of Brooks disagrees. Ryan said RCMP informed her her son was assaulted by a group of people in the Rotary Waterfront Park prior to his mysterious passing. Brooks’ family doesn’t accept that Justin, who couldn’t swim, would go near the water and slipped in, or committed suicide. Ryan, Brooks’ stepfather Pete Wesley, and aunt Sheri Latimer have been raising money as the Justice for Justin campaign to offer a reward for information about Brooks’ death. The family lost hope in the Prince Rupert RCMP’s investigation after being told RCMP did not suspect foul play. Ryan filed a public complaint against the Prince Rupert RCMP, and said an investigator is reviewing the case to see if there
was any wrong-doing on the RCMP’s part. Prince Rupert RCMP are not commenting on allegations RCMP did not properly investigate the death. Ryan said RCMP have recently requested to have a meeting with Brooks’ family. The BC Civil Liberties Association will be travelling to Prince Rupert to participate in the meeting, as will the investigator and coroner involved in the case. “We’re all going to be in one room, so they’re going to have to listen to me,” Ryan said. In the meantime, the Justice for Justin campaign is continuing to fundraise and has surpassed the $6,000 mark. The family of Brooks has been raising money through a number of activities, including the sale of T-shirts and hoodies, and has begun selling Justice for Justin keychains and bracelets. Since the Justice for Justin campaign
offered a $6,000 reward to anyone with vital information on the activities of Brooks the night of his death, Ryan said a number of tips have come in. “We’re thankful to the people who have been brave enough to [contact us],” Ryan said. If the reward doesn’t entice anyone to come forward, the campaign will put the money toward hiring a private investigator. “We’ve had to take the long way around, but I’m not going to quit,” Ryan said. “I promised that to my son they day we put him in the ground ... I’m going to find out who did this, and get justice,” she said. Brooks’ family also wants to ensure Justin’s son Lucas grows up knowing what happened to his father. Brooks’ family celebrated his son Lucus’ first birthday without him on July 27.
I want to see my dad tonight so for his safety and yours... please drive safely and follow the rules.
. . . drive safely, our lives depend on it

As I sit safe in heaven, and watch you everyday I try and let you know with signs, I never went away! I hear you when you’re laughing, and watch you as you sleep, I even place my arms around you, to calm you as you weep, I see you wish the days away, begging to have me home So I try to send you signs, so you know you’re not alone! Don’t feel guilty that you have life that was denied to me, Heaven is truly beautiful just you wait and see! So live your life, laugh again! enjoy yourself, be free. Then, I’ll know with every breath you take, you’ll be taking one for me.

They came to Kitimat in 1976 and Yin Ling worked at Atom Motors then Daval Automotive for a total of 25 years. She loved travelling the world and tending her beautiful garden. Fong Yee Yee was known for her friendly and inquisitive nature, positive outlook, elegant homegrown bouquets, and perfect desserts. She fully cherished all her relations, lived life to the fullest, and loved to laugh. She maintained her sense of humour and lovely demeanor until the end of her days, passing away peacefully and with “no regrets!” after a courageous struggle with cancer. Yin Ling is survived by Man Che, her older brothers Kung Ping (Lei Shang), Kwok Hong (Susana), and Kwok Kee (Fung Yee), as well as her nieces and nephews. Fong Yee Yee and Man Che are indebted to their longtime Kitimat friends and “kids” for their endless support. To the Chiu, Lee, Poon, Lo and Lam families – words cannot express our deep appreciation. Thank you also to the home care nurses Gloria, Elaine, and Lenaya; the home support staff; the hospital staff; Dr. Huang, Dr. Kay, and Dr. Van Schalkwyk; and Debbie Hopkins from oncology. We were so fortunate to receive your compassionate care and love. A private celebration of life was held on August 28th, 2013 in Fong Yee Yee’s home.

Terrace reclaims royal mountain title By Margaret Speirs

THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
TERRACE - THE KING of the Mountain crown has returned to Terrace. Chris Hampton, who was second last year, edged out last year’s champion Judson Rowse from Port Edward by 17 seconds, winning the 40+ category and overall race with a time of 0:49:38.1.
The race took place on August
Rowse’s second place time for the category and overall race was 0:49:55.7. Willie Muller came third with a time of 0:56:24.6 and seventh overall of the 61 runners. Terrace runners won the remaining categories with the exception of the Male 18-39 category which went to Smithers’ Dave Per-
cy with a time of 0:51:52.2, which placed him third overall. Second was James Clay with 0:53.06.2, which put him fourth overall and Cody Skog was third with 0:53:22.4 for fifth place overall. Eight-year-old Kohen Butler won the Youth 17 and under group with a time of 1:07:32.5 followed by Myah Bowal with 1:43.41.2 and Kelsyn Bowal with 1:43:58.8.

Terrace women swept the top of the Female 40+ group with Sherrie Hamer winning with 1:07:36.5 and 28th overall, Kim Barriere was second with 1:12:24.5 and 37th overall and Lana Raposo was third with 1:18:09.6 and 42nd overall. Organizer Nadene Butler said runners came from as far away as Germany, Nanaimo, Courtenay and Burns Lake.
Prince Rupert senior archers find the target at 2013 senior games
Race walker By Cameron Orr

KITIMAT - Kitimat’s own Ben Thorne continues his move through the ranks of race walkers. Most recently he competed in the International Association of Athletics Federations’ (IAAF)World Track and Field Championships in the 20 km race walk, held on August 11 in Moscow, Russia. He placed 20 out of about 65 participants, a finish he’s feels pleased with. “It’s about as good as I could have hoped for,” he said. “I wasn’t too sure what to expect.” For him, the race in Moscow wasn’t a matter of getting out ahead, but pacing himself. Knowing his limits, and aware of the intense heat of the day, he started slow, and “picked off” competitors as he went. As for his physical preparedness, he said he was as fit as he ever was going to be getting into it. But that said, “I do think there’s definitely room for improvement for next time. I’ll work on my fitness to get my mileage up and hopefully I’ll be in the top eight next time or the medals.” This particular competition happens every two years, so he said he’ll get his next chance to prove himself in Beijing in 2015. After that will be the Olympics. “That’s ultimately what we’re working towards,” he said.
Butler’s time was also good enough for 26th place overall. Tara Irwin won the Female 1839 group with a time of 0:59:17.2, which put her 13th overall. Gabe Newman of Smithers was second with 1:00:36.9, placing her 16th overall and Teresa Shiflett was third with 1:06:08.2 and 23rd overall.

PRINCE RUPERT - Northwest athletes traveled to Kamloops for the 2013 BC Senior Games, returning with several medals around their necks. Archery proved to be the strong suit for Prince Rupert athletes, with all but one of Prince Rupert’s seven medals being won in the sport. Two Prince Rupert athletes earned gold medals at the games, both in archery. Prince Rupert’s Bob Bennett took the top spot in the Men 65-69 3DLong without Sight and Fingers category, while Rupertite Fred Hutchings took gold in the same category, but for men ages 60 to 64. Hutchings found success in the
Men 60-64 Target-Long without Sight and Fingers category, placing second. Prince Rupert’s Jim Martin also placed second in his age bracket, Men 55-59, in the same category. Martin also earned the silver spot in the Men 55-59 3D-Long without Sight and Fingers category. Bennett took home the bronze in the Men 65-69 Target-Long without Sight and Fingers category. Prince Rupert’s Dawn Quast switched things up, earning the bronze medal in the Women 65-69 800 metre freestyle swimming race. In total, Northwest athletes, which includes competitors from Prince Rupert, Terrace and Kitimat, received 46 medals in competition at this year’s senior games.

Crosby only lock so far for men’s Olympic hockey team By Bruce Penton
THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
Some Canadians may care about the cost of health care, our country’s crumbling infrastructure and whether Justin Bieber will ever even approach normal, but for the vast majority, it’s time to cut to the chase and concentrate on the really important stuff: Canada’s roster for the 2014 Olympic Games hockey tournament. It’s only September and the Sochi, Russia sporting festival is still five months away, but to Canadians, it matters not whether the temperature outside is 30 below or 30 above, it’s hockey season. We’re either playing it, watching it, analyzing it, thinking about it, talking about it or trying to figure out why the Leafs can’t win a Cup. (It was Canada’s Centennial year, 1967, by the way, when the Leafs last captured Lord Stanley’s mug. Some people wouldn’t be surprised if their next success happens in our bicentennial year of 2067. But we digress.) In late August, Hockey Canada offi-
cials gathered 47 of the NHL’s elite in Calgary for a variety of exercises, none of which involved skating because of hefty insurance costs. The players apparently ‘bonded’ — which will be a great benefit only until one of them tries some facial surgery on another using a wooden stick in an early October game. But it made for a good media splash and got Canadians thinking about the Olympics, as if we needed a reminder. In the end, coach Mike Babcock, executive director Steve Yzerman and the rest of the 22-member administrative group will choose a 25-man roster to try to bring Olympic gold back to Canada. You don’t have to be a genius to know
Bruce Penton
Overtime that Sidney Crosby, who scored the ‘golden goal’ for Canada in 2010 when the Games were played in Vancouver, will be one of those 25, but the identities of the other 24 will be heavily, passionately and enthusiastically debated from Gander, N.L. to Parksville, B.C., until the ros-

ter is submitted on Dec. 31. A couple of weeks from now, we’ll take a stab at picking the 25man roster, an exercise akin to choosing the winning 649 lottery numbers. • Dwight Perry of the Seattle Times: “Tom Brady was the top-earning player in New England last year, but he wasn’t even No. 1 in his own household. The financial scoreboard, according to Forbes magazine: Brady $38.3 million, supermodel wife Gisele Bündchen $42 million.” • Blogger TC Chong, from Texas A&M’s latest football injury report: “QB Johnny Manziel, questionable (writer’s cramp).” • British golf commentator Peter Alliss, in a John
Huggan column in GolfWorld: “One good thing about rain in Scotland — most of it ends up as scotch.” • Blogger Bill Littlejohn, on Devin Hester of the Chicago Bears saying he has ‘one foot in the Hall of Fame’: “Clearly, the other one is in his mouth.” • RJ Currie of sportsdeke.com: “Tim Tebow’s quarterback rating against Tampa Bay was 0.0. No wonder his coaches keep saying “Oh-Oh!” • Currie again: “My sister-in-law’s terrier will bark when it sees baseball on TV. Honest. Except when the Blue Jays are on; then it rolls over and plays dead.” • Brad Dickson of the Omaha World-Herald: “There are plans to
TEAM TRYOUTS SEPT. 9 & 10 at 9:15 pm
make a movie based on the life of Kurt Warner. Because Warner was an NFL player who didn’t drink or chase women and was never arrested, it will be considered a science-fiction film.” • Dickson again: “KISS has bought an Arena Football League team to be based in Los Angeles. It’ll be the first football team where the crazy, shirtless guys with face paint in the stands are the owners.” • Comedy writer Jim Barach: “The San Francisco Giants have paid $545,000 to clubhouse workers for violations of minimum wage, overtime and record keeping laws. Or as Tim Lincecum calls $545,000, the third inning.” • Headline at Fark.com: “Australian man runs a
marathon a day for 20 months / Difficulty: He’s now 16,000 miles from home.” • Benjamin Hochman of the Denver Post, on Peyton Manning’s offensive arsenal: “The Broncos have three exclamation points at receiver and three question marks at running back.” • Comedy writer Alan Ray, on the Pirates landing outfielder Marlon Byrd and catcher John Buck in a trade: “The Mets get a top prospect and a player to be booed later.” • Dwight Perry again: “Into the The Name Certainly Fits club, let us welcome: Aaron Hernandez’s lawyer: Michael Fee.” Care to comment?
