Gitwinksihlkw chief executive officer Harry Nyce Jr. provided remarks at the Oct. 25 opening of the village’s water treatment plant. The Nass Valley village had been trucking in water for drinking and other uses pending the completion of the $7.5 million facility. Most of the money for the project came from the federal government.
Water treatment plant in the Nass Valley makes world of difference for village By Josh Massey THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
GITWINKSIHLKW - The water in Gitwinksihlkw is now so clean that local residents and elders are considering the idea of a bottled water business. Chief Councillor Ron Nyce said the idea came up during constructing the new water treatment facility that had its grand opening this week on October 23. He said a preliminary design shows a glass bottle with totem pole image.
On Novemberth 15
The water is “so crystal blue and clean” said Nyce, and scores so high on purity tests, that it’s being called the best water in B.C. After 23 years planning and building, the 385 residents of the Nisga’a town finally have a reliable source of drinking water. Before the recent upgrade, residents of this town in the Nass valley had to deal with a water shortage problem that required a costly program of trucking it back and forth across the valley. The also had weekly delivery
of purified water from Terrace for a period of time. Nyce said the upgrade was much needed and a long time coming. “It took 23 years, and the price skyrocketed,” he said, relating a story of early missteps involving extensive environmental and hydrological studies of streams that in the end were found to contain insufficient volume. Plan B was to tap the Nass for its abundant supply. The total cost of the water
plant was $7.5 million. Of that total, $6.8 million came from the Federal Department of Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development. The other portion was paid for by Gitwinksihlkw’s capital fund and a grant from the Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine. The construction company that did the work was Broadwater Industries from Prince Rupert with consulting duties handled by the firm of Associated Engineering.

Visitors carve on totem pole By Marylin Davies
THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
TERRACE - Speaker of the provincial Legislative Assembly Linda Reid and retired Lieutenant Governor Steven Point visited local carver Joe Mandur recently. They were among a group to travel north to Kitsumkalum, bringing with them the Black Rod, a symbol of legislative authority. Tsimshian carver Cliff Bolton of Kitsumkalum added a piece of jade to the Black Rod and the visit was made
to honour his contribution. While visiting Mandur, the pair carved on a totem pole he is working on in honour of Freida Diesing. This is a very large pole and will take considerable time to complete. In the time honoured tradition, guests are invited to show their respect by carving on the pole. Joe is an adopted Haida from the Skidegate band and continues to paint and carve in the time honoured traditions he has learned over the years.

KITIMAT- The Kitimat Landfill won’t be getting its Tuesday opening after all. Councillors were fairly split, but not enough to provide the majority to give direction for it to open. A staff report from the District to councillors recommended not changing their hours of operation, following a motion from Phil Germuth on October 7 to re-open the landfill Tuesdays, as well as reviewing its hours of operation. The report, including a nine-point list of thoughts, was compiled with input from the landfill operator. That list included thoughts such as a $1,000 a day increase for being open on Tuesdays, overtime costs, and an impression that the demand is not great enough to warrant another day open. Also, a $25 afterhours fee is available to people who need it, but the report says that since the introduction of that fee calls for after-hours service ceased, “suggesting it was a matter of planning more than necessity to deliver outside the usual hours.� However the list of reasons not to open an extra day of the week didn’t sway Germuth, who felt they didn’t provide a compelling argument. He said it looked to him more like a list of every excuse to say no. For starters he took issue with point one which basically stated how the landfill has been closed on Tuesdays since 1993. “This isn’t 1993 anymore, this is arguably Kitimat’s busiest time in history,� he said. He also countered the claim it would cost $1,000 a day to open
Tuesdays, saying any reasonable business

Rupert airport makes case for needing one large loan By Shaun Thomas THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
PRINCE RUPERT - “We are, at times, pretty close to being closed down because of health concerns.” That is how airport manager Rick Reed describes the dire state of the Prince Rupert Airport, and those who attended an Oct. 23 open house about a $7 million airport improvement loan from the City of Prince Rupert saw just how much the loan is considered a necessity. Among the information boards set out was one related to the seismic inadequacy of the building, which is at the minimal level of life safety in the event of a tremor. “The building will likely be a total loss in the event of a significant earthquake,” it read. Another board pointed to many issues related to the potable water found at the site and the need to address that issue. “Canadian drinking water guidelines are not being met at several levels,” it read. And if Prince Rupert is looking to compete with the Northwest Regional Airport in Terrace, one of the information boards made it clear the current building just would not do. “The washrooms, passenger holding rooms and offices ... are completely deficient and embarrassing by the standard of our regional peers,” it read. But Reed said those concerns are just the tip of the iceberg. “The building envelope itself is 50 years old and it is failing ... we had a roofing expert come in and he told us we have no time left with the current roof. But we knew that because it has been leaking for some time. We have had Rupert Wood N’
2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012
Steel coming in to do patch jobs, and when it rains we usually find a new leak for them to fix,” he said, noting the wood in the frame is also rotting. “We have had such tremendous problems with Rick Reed the toilets, both the men’s and women’s washrooms. Typically we have just two water closets working in the women’s washroom and that is because of the problems with the sewer ... the bathroom that was built in the holding room didn’t open because the sewer has collapsed.” The cost of overhauling the building is expected to be $4.25 million, including the installation of luggage carousel in the baggage check area, with another $500,000 needed for a water treatment plant. The remainder of the loan from the city will be used to repair the access road, which one member of the Prince Rupert Airport Authority said was at crisis level, and repave the runway. Should the loan be approved, with less than 901 people signing opposition forms at City Hall, it will be paid back over 20 years with an annual repayment of $488,500. The money would come from airport users based on a three per cent growth in traffic through to 2018 and the airport user fee being raised from the current $14 to $24 and being held there after 2018.

Booze in grocery stores mulled By Tom Fletcher THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
VICTORIA - The B.C. government’s liquor policy review has heard a ‘loud and clear’ message that people want the convenience of buying alcoholic beverages in grocery stores, says the MLA in charge of the review. With a three-month consultation period over, Richmond Steveston MLA John Yap said Tuesday that about 80 per cent of respondents want the extra convenience that is routine in U.S. grocery stores. But Yap is proposing a less convenient model, a “store within a store” that would have separate space and staff for alcohol purchases. He said the num-
ber of outlets could be restricted to the current level, with some existing private or public liquor stores moved into grocery stores. The Liquor Control Board of Ontario has announced a similar pilot project, with 10 “express” stores to offer limited selection inside or next to grocery stores. Nova Scotia also has government liquor stores located in grocery stores. When the B.C. consultation began in September, Yap noted that beer, wine and spirits are already sold in rural grocery stores. He was critical of the U.S. model, saying it could lead to increased health and safety issues from increased consumption, as well as law enforcement problems. B.C.’s medical health of-
ficers have called for a freeze or reduction to the number of private retailers, a $3 minimum price for bar drinks and higher prices for drinks with more alcohol content to deter over-consumption. The Alliance of Beverage Licencees, representing pubs, bars and private liquor stores in B.C., isn’t happy with the idea. ABLE BC executive director Ian Baillie said the province already has more than 1,400 government and private liquor stores. “The government also needs to consider what the impact of allowing large grocery chains to sell liquor will be on the thousands of jobs and millions of dollars of income that are provided by the current system,” Baillie said.

Anyone dropping off a winter coat will earn 500 Save On More points.
No support for oil-by-rail to the west coast, CN CFO says By Shaun Thomas THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
and just this month the provincial governments of both B.C. and Alberta signed a terms of T:4.3125” reference agreement in-
dicating “if pipelines are not developed, rail will step into the void to deliver bitumen to the West Coast”.
Recently members of both the Terrace Rotary Club & The Terrace Skeena Valley Rotary Club turned out for the semi-annual Highway Cleanup. Both clubs show up each spring and fall to clean up all the litter on both highway easments on HWY 37 from the 4 way stop to the airport. This is part of the Adopt a Highway Program which many communities participate in.

Introducing non-stop flights from Terrace-Kitimat to Vancouver. T:8”
PRINCE RUPERT Oil-by-rail won’t be happening any time soon, according to the chief financial officer of CN Rail. Luc Jobin, who is CFO and executive vice-president, made the comments during the company’s Oct. 22 earnings call after being asked about shipping crude to a B.C. port for export. “There’s no project. There’s no infrastructure on the Canadian west coast to receive crude by rail. There is no project proponent. There’s really no support,” he said. “I don’t think it’s in a kind of a near-term type of potential.” However, CN CEO Claude Mongeau said oil-by-rail is a viable alternative and a part of CN’s business. “We move more than 99.997 per cent of dangerous goods to market without incidents and we have to keep getting better. And if we do, I believe we are a viable alternative to move all the energy projects — products, including crude,” he said, noting both heavy and light crude is currently being moved. “We believe this is there to stay with us, as long as we continue to operate a safe railroad, which we are committed to do.” In September, a government briefing note obtained by Greenpeace indicated Nexen was working with CN
and the Prince Rupert Port Authority “to select lands in Prince Rupert that could be used for the export of oil”

KSM PROJECT UPDATE Seabridge Gold (Seabridge) has been busy over the last few months working on the KSM Project, which is located 65 kilometers northwest of Stewart, British Columbia. Here’s an overview of what the company’s been doing. KSM Project Environmental Assessment As you may be aware, the KSM Project is undergoing a joint provincial and federal review process called an Environmental Assessment (EA). On August 12, 2013, Seabridge received notification that the KSM Project entered the 180-day review period under the BC Environmental Assessment Act and the 182-day review period under the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency. The review includes a 45-day public comment period and several Open Houses in which Seabridge participated. Seabridge would like to thank community members in Telegraph Creek, Iskut, Terrace, Smithers and Stewart who attended the Open Houses to support the KSM Project and to learn more about it. It has taken Seabridge nearly five years and almost $146 million to get to this point, and they aren’t done yet. The KSM Project is approximately onethird of the way through the EA review and the company hopes to have a government decision in 2014.
KSM drillers set out to find higher grade copper and were successful in part because the drillers were able to use state-of-the-art directional drilling tools. Directional drilling allows additional drill holes to be started part way down a previously drilled hole, which means a company needs to do significantly less drilling to reach its target zone. This is the first time a directional drill has been used in BC, and Seabridge is very pleased with the results. During the program, the company drilled more than 32,000 meters in 40 holes. That’s more total meters drilled than any other year of Seabridge’s drilling program. The company will be analyzing the results of its summer drill program over the coming months and will share this information as soon as it’s available. Dease Lake Office Seabridge is opening a KSM Project office in Dease Lake, BC. Stay tuned for more information.
KSM Camp Drilling Program The KSM camp is the base from which Seabridge conducts seasonal onsite exploration, geotechnical, engineering and environmental work for the KSM Project. Over the summer, Seabridge ran an extensive drill program, with up to six drills working 24 hours per day and up to 50 people staying at the camp.

Letter from Heaven When tomorrow starts without me, and I am not there to see, If the sun should rise and find your eye’s filled with tears for me. I wish so much you wouldn’t cry, The way you did today, while thinking of the many things we didn’t get to say. I know how much you love me, As much as I love you, and each time you think of me, I know you’ll miss me too. When tomorrow starts without me, don’t think we’re far apart, for every time you think of me, I’m right there in your heart.
Doris Marguerite Daschuk January 14, 1938 – October 16, 2013 Haida Name - T’aaguu Hlgaawandyad Balanced with a Copper Shield Doris “Dootna” Marguerite Daschuk Kaadaas Gaah K’iiguwaay Wolf & Raven Clan of Tanu Mom was born in her mother’s home in Skidegate on a warm winter day, Friday, January 14, 1938 and passed away peacefully in her home surrounded with the love of her family and friends, on a clear, cool, calm evening of October 16, 2013. Doris was pre-deceased by her husband Edward Daschuk. Her parents; Walter and Hazel Stevens, brothers; Horace, Philip, Paddy and Billy Stevens. Mom is survived by her sons, Brent, Gary (Anna) and Johnny (Myrna) Daschuk and daughters, Cindy (Doug) Blake and Diane Daschuk.

Grandchildren; Kristy Daschuk, Jeremy Blake, Selena Blake and Jacob Brooks. Godchildren: Lori Nyce and Nicole Wilson. She will be missed dearly by all her family and friends and will be remembered with smile’s and laughter. Memories from the grandchildren: Kristy Daschuk ( via video while Nani was at home) Hi Nani, Just wanted to send a message to tell you how much I love you. Auntie and dad have been updating me on what is going on in Haida Gwaii. And I hear your being really strong and keeping a happy face on and I wish I was there to hug you and kiss you and tell you how much I Love You, and how much you mean to me and all the memories I have of you and us and going up to Haida Gwaii and spending all our Christmas and summer holidays together. I’m really going to miss you. I Love You so much and be strong, hang on as long you can and just be really happy about all the people around you right now. I Love You so much Nani, goodbye. Jeremy Blake And just like that the most, beautiful, inspirational, amazing most humour filled person in my life passed away right in front of my eyes. She was the one who kept me going and made me strive for the better; she would comfort me at the worst of times and be there for the best. I’m glad the suffering is over, it was extremely hard to see you laying there helpless. You’re in a better place, and I will see you sometime in the future, you’re forever in my heart Nani (Doris Marguerite Daschuk). Selena Blake Thank you for the beautiful memories, laughs, and love. I will always be thinking about you, your smile, sense of humour, laugh, just every single little detail. My favourite woman in the whole world passed away tonight and she will ALWAYS be in my heart. I love and miss you so much Nani, you’re in a better place now. Service was held at the Skidegate United Church Monday October 21, 2013

Dora Macphee July 6, 1919 - October 11, 2013
MACPHEE, Dora Phyllis (nee Arney), born in Prince Rupert, BC, July 6, 1919, passed away peacefully in Prince Rupert on October 11, 2013, after a short illness. Daughter of Henry Arney and Eliza Slaughter, Dora was predeceased by her husband Angus Macphee, sister Betty Pedersen and brother Donald Arney. She is survived by four children: Ennis (Bill) Greene and David (Janice) Macphee of Prince Rupert, Margaret (Ross) Handel of Burnaby, and Norman Macphee of Victoria. She also leaves behind her grandchildren: Michael Greene, Erin Trask, Leanne and Scott Macphee, James and Stephen Handel and Ian Macphee, along with greatgrandchildren, Seamus and Lucy Greene, younger brother Ted Arney, and many nieces and nephews. Dora enjoyed growing up near the waterfront with childhood adventures across the harbour and Salt Lakes and memorable trips to the Queen Charlotte and Porcher Islands. Dora worked for G.W. Nickerson, War Assets and as a bookkeeper from home, later becoming a full-time mother and always providing love and care for her children and grandchildren. She obtained her driver’s licence and first car when she was in her mid-fifties and volunteered her driving services to fellow seniors. She was active in the Prince Rupert Seniors’ Centre and enjoyed the warm companionship she received there on her daily visits. Her bridge and whist skills resulted in her competing around the province in many BC Seniors Games. It was with great pleasure that in her later years she was able to meet Jane (Arney) Osborn of Kent and reconnect with relatives that her young father had left behind in England. She maintained a keen memory until the end and loved to recount stories about people and events of her hometown. She had been an avid bowler and became a faithful watcher of the tennis open tournaments. She freely donated her kindness and shunned the spotlight. Dora’s accepting and generous spirit will be sadly missed by family and friends. Thanks to the staff and residents of the Summit Residences and Acropolis Manor where she lived in her final years – and to Dr. Tse and all the supportive staff at Prince Rupert Regional Hospital who made her final days so peaceful. If you wish, donations in Dora’s name can be made to the Prince Rupert Seniors’ Centre. At mom’s request, no memorial service is planned.

TERRACE • PRINCE RUPERT • KITIMAT DISTRICT OF STEWART NOTICE OF PROPOSED PROPERTY DISPOSITION DAVE EAGES / THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
Provincial Transportation Minister Todd Stone inserts a coin into the tread of a winter tire to demonstrate the proper depth the tread should have in order for the tire to perform safely during winter driving conditions.
Government adds winter tires to debate about highway speeds By Tom Fletcher THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
VICTORIA - Some “all season” tires are good enough for winter roads in B.C., but not all of them. That’s one reason why Transportation Minister Todd Stone has added the topic of tires to a provincial review of highway safety that includes speed limits. “It’s been almost 40 years since the current definition of a winter tire was actually changed, and tire technology has advanced dramatically, particularly over the last five to 10 years,” Stone said Tuesday. With the popularity of all-season tires and all-wheel-drive vehi-

cles, Stone said there is some confusion about what is acceptable for requirements that took effect Oct. 1 on routes that have winter conditions. Those routes have signs advising drivers to use winter tires or carry chains, and police may turn drivers away if they are not properly equipped. True winter tires have a symbol of a mountain and snowflake on the sidewall. All-season tires with the “M+S” mark to indicate traction in mud and snow are also permissible, but all tires must have a minimum tread depth of 3.5 mm. A quick test can be done using a dime. Point Her Majesty’s head downward and insert the
dime in the tire tread. If the top of the head remains visible, the tire is too worn to qualify for winter conditions. Drivers have a choice of investing in new tires or buying a set of chains. The transportation ministry has a website at www.th.gov. bc.ca/SeasonalDriving/winter_ chains.html that includes maps of routes affected by winter restrictions, and tips on how to use tire chains. Stone said that with 60 per cent of B.C. residents living in areas where winter conditions are not common, he is not considering making winter tires mandatory for all vehicles within the province.

CHSS rugby dominates Northern Championship By Contributed THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
PRINCE RUPERT - On Oct. 5th, the Charles Hays Rugby Sevens team travelled to Smithers to take part in a playday. This is the inaugural season for Rugby Sevens in the high school, so this was the team’s first taste of competition. The Hurricanes won their first game 17-5, with tries scored by Liam Robertson and Jesse Schaeffer. They then lost a tight one to Smithers 10 - 0. The final game saw the Hurricanes dominate a Fort St. James squad 33 - 0. Tries were scored by Brandon Skaar, Cody Schaeffer, and Robertson. On Oct. 19, the team travelled to Houston to compete in the Northern Championships. Few teams were in attendance and the Hurricanes took the opportunity to steal the show. In their first game against Smithers, the team was slow to get their head into the game and Smithers managed to earn a penalty try in the first half. After that, though, it was all Charles Hays as they ended up winning that game 19 - 7. They then played Houston and ran away with that game 26 - 0. For their final game, the two Lakes District coaches combined their teams to put their best players out on the field, which the Hurricanes promptly beat 24 - 17. Try scorers in this tournament included Tyler Winther, Casey Lennon, Steven Drodz, Robertson, and both Schaeffers. Next up for the Hurricanes Sevens: Provincials next April.

Trailbuilders seeking new trail systems in Kitimat
Not the pits…

TERRACE - Caledonia Secondary Students in Ben Mattheis’ Grade 11 and 12 physical education class were the first group to take the Skeena Horseshoe Club up on their offer to the school district to teach groups of students the ins and outs of horseshoes. The class headed to the horseshoe pits next to Heritage Park Museum where Bob Price gave them tips on how to hold the horseshoes, safety, where to stand and how to keep score before the class gave pitching a shot. “We hope to get more participants from the school district in the spring,” said the club’s Alfreda Price. The club is hoping to pique the interest of younger generations – there are teenagers competing in horseshoes across the province, with a 15-year-old from Victoria even coming in first at Worlds.
KITIMAT - This is Nik Berndt’s last stand to get a mountain biking and hiking trail system built in the area. He gathered potential supporters for a meeting Oct. 20, and is trying to organize the movement into a non-profit organization. Right now they just go by the name Kitimat Trailbuilders and can be found on Facebook. “What we’re trying to do now as a group we’re trying to come up with a name to go ahead with this non-profit society,” said Berndt. If they can get the society established, they can begin applying for grants to build the trail systems he hopes to see. It’s Berndt’s second time trying to get a society like this established. He said several years ago he tried and approached the city but he felt he was effectively brushed off. But today he has a solid community support and people are pitching in to get this idea off the ground. His interest in mountain biking began with races he did when he was in grade 8. Today, he thinks mountain biking is a good alternative to kids hanging out at the skate park exclusively. From his own days as a student he said he knows there can be bad things passed around in those groups. And with the town getting busier, he’s worried it’ll just get worse.
“There’s a lot more harsher things now coming in to town than when I was a kid, at least from what I’ve noticed,” he said. And the Riverlodge doesn’t always provide relevant, modern programming, he added. “I haven’t seen any mountain biking stuff,” he said. But Kitimat isn’t, so far, ideally set up for mountain biking anyway. “I wish Kitimat had something better. A lot of the trails around here are not legitimate, they’re actually illegal because they’re on private property.” He said he has gotten permission from some landowners to use trails on their property but it’s always an imperfect solution. “We’re trying to make everything legitimate, get everything going.” So far he said he does have the support of the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations. He also has told supporters than there’s a good chance if trails start getting built, a bike shop could easily follow, either run by him or a collaboration of people. Between working six days a week and on his way to buying a house, Berndt is burning the candle from both ends getting this organized, but he’s hopeful to see things taking shape early next year. “I’m aiming to have everything ready to go and we can start putting shovels in the ground by the time the snow’s gone in the spring,” he said.

The recess bell — Starts the escape. Time to laugh, run, play. The recess bell. Ends the freedom. Back to reading and writing. And imagining. Students need schools. Schools need students. A pipeline can help. The Northern Gateway Pipeline will provide $1.2 billion in tax revenue for BC that can help to fund schools across the province.
