JOSH MASSEY / THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
TERRACE - Colourful signs were the order of the day Nov. 16 at Brolly Square in downtown Terrace as a crowd gathered to protest Enbridge’s planned Northern Gateway pipeline. Similar events were held in Kitimat and in Prince Rupert. A federal environmental review panel is to file its report on the project the middle of next month.
Northwestern pipeline corridor proposed TERRACE - Skeena NDP MLA Robin Austin backs the idea of a common energy corridor for natural gas pipelines but thinks advancing the idea might be a bit early because no liquefied natural gas projects in the region have actually gotten off of the ground. “I think it makes sense for energy companies as they develop their route plans to think about ways they can work together so as not to rip up more of northern B.C. than necessary,” he said. Austin’s comment follows the release today of a provincial legislative committee report which recommends the government consider a common energy corridor. That consideration would be included in a cumulative environmental assessment of all LNG
projects, said the committee. The prospect of five or more pipelines carrying natural gas to LNG plants in Kitimat and in Prince Rupert has sparked discussion about their combined environmental and other impacts. But Austin acknowledged that the competitive nature of the LNG business would make an energy corridor difficult to organize. Still, he said companies should realize they’d save enormous amounts of money by cooperating where possible on pipeline routes. “In Australia they’ve just finished four separate pipeline routes to projects adjacent to each other,” said Austin. “That’s jacked up the costs tremendously and I think now

those companies realize it makes no sense. And some of those companies are the same as those with projects here,” he said referring to Chevron’s Kitimat LNG project and Shell Canada’s LNG project, also at Kitimat. While Austin favoured the idea of companies cooperating on routes, he drew the line on having the province develop its own corridor and then making it available to energy companies. “I don’t want to see any energy corridor that would then allow Enbridge to run a pipeline down it,” said Austin of the controversial Northern Gateway pipeline which would transport Alberta crude to a marine export terminal at Kitimat. The finance committee also recommended the province con-
co
ng i m
tinue to explore revenue sharing with northern governments and that First Nations be included. “That really goes without saying. It’s a given. I think in this day and age there is no way First Nations can’t be involved,” said Austin. And he backs another finance committee recommendation to spend money now on northwestern infrastructure to ensure communities are ready for the impact of large-scale industrialization. “If you look at communities in the northeast and Fort McMurray where industrial development happens quickly, you’ll see the impacts. Communities don’t have the ability to cope after the fact,” said Austin. “Communities get overwhelmed.”

Renos start at Kitimat ER By Cameron Orr
THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
KITIMAT - The Northern Health Authority is spending more than $800,000 to improve safety and security for its employees and patients at Kitimat General Hospital’s emergency room. Being added is a separate room within the ER for patients, depending upon their specific situation, and three work stations where nurses, doctors and others can do paperwork. Although the hospital is just 11 years old, the renovations are to meet evolving guidelines for safety and security, says hospital administrator Jonathan Cooper. The separate room, called an observation room, is meant for short term assessments of people who may, or may not, fall under the provisions of the Mental Health Act, he said. “Health and safety guidelines are always changing to mitigate risk,” said Cooper of the observation room. The three work stations aren’t meant as treatment areas but will provide a quiet location containing glazed glass, he said. Also being added is a medication and storage room in a location that’s now underutilized, Cooper added. The $811,000 project is being fi-

And the newly-formed Kitimat Hospital Foundation is providing $10,000, the first significant donation by the group. The donation is much appreciated by Northern Health, hospital staff and the community of Kitimat,” said Cooper. Renovations are scheduled to be finished in mid-
2014 and while they are underway, a mobile medical unit will take over ER functions in the hospital’s parking lot. Built for use during the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics, the unit was then bought by the provincial government. The services it offers can be adapted as needed and it’s been used several times around the province during renovations of health care facilities. The unit went into service Nov. 16.
Colin, Elaine and workers like them are building the Port of Prince Rupert’s Road, Rail, and Utility Corridor. Once the two-year construction project is complete, our gateway will move more cargo to overseas markets. That means jobs and prosperity for people in northern BC. Our terminals may be located in Prince Rupert, but we’re building connections clear across Canada—and the globe. Learn about the value of trade at www.rupertport.com/connections.

Lack of managers a concern By Shaun Thomas THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
PRINCE RUPERT - Residents in BC Housing are taking the organization to task over a lack of building managers at two Prince Rupert properties. BC Housing confirmed there were two complexes in town without building managers, one since the end of July and one since the end of September, and one tenant said that is simply not acceptable and is a safety issue. “I’m worried about my family and family members who live in BC Housing ... with no managers, how does one maintain the level of service, but also safety here? This is a safety issue and there is no and has been no information. We as taxpayers are not being looked after, nor informed. What is bc housing doing with the taxpayers money?” said the tenant, speaking on the condition of anonymity. “What if there is a fire? What if there is an emergency? They are suppose to be helping those of us who are
in greater need.” In a statement, BC Housing said the lack of building managers and the replacement of those who previously filled the positions has to do with ongoing negotiations about the future of BC Housing in town. “In July, BC Housing issued an Expression of Interest for property and building management for four directly managed buildings, including these two, and is working on finalizing a contract with a non-profit housing organization,” reads the statement. “Until the non-profit is in place, BC Housing has contracted for essential services and regular maintenance at the buildings. A letter was sent to all residents in each building, providing them with an emergency maintenance number. That number is posted at the office. Residents living in the Senior Supportive Housing units also have a 24 hour response system monitored by Lifeline.” BC Housing says any tenants with maintenance concerns can call 250622-9760.

Within ten years of starting up Alcan’s aluminum smelter, we had our own town-operated ski facility. Similar to Europe, where a lot of Kitimat’s people had come from, you didn’t have to drive to get there; it was right downtown. Early on, the slope attracted both tobogganers and skiers.

Province is making more cuts VICTORIA – The B.C. government has announced the first money-saving moves in its “core review” of provincial functions, eliminating Crown agencies that buy offsets for government carbon emissions and manage heritage properties in the Victoria area. The functions of the Pacific Carbon Trust and the Provincial Capital Commission will continue, but will be run directly by government ministries, Energy Minister Bill Bennett announced Tuesday. Bennett, minister in charge of the core review, said winding up the Pacific Carbon Trust is expected to save $5.6 million annually by 2015. The CEO and 13 staff are to be offered other positions in government and Bennett said he does not expect severance to be paid. Winding up the Provincial Capital Commission is expected to save about $1 million, while maintaining the agen-
cy’s cultural and student outreach programs. Capital region properties including St. Anne’s Academy, the Crystal Garden and the former CPR steamship terminal will continue to be operated by government, with no immediate plans to sell them. Post-secondary schools and health authorities will continue to pay millions to offset their fossil fuel use, and the money will go to industrial, forest and other projects deemed to reduce carbon emissions. Bennett said the government intends to adapt
the program as has been done with public school offsets, so hospitals and universities can invest in their own energy-saving efforts. The Pacific Carbon Trust was criticized in a March 2013 report by former auditor general John Doyle. He said the two largest investments by the trust, a forest preserve in the Kootenays and a flaring reduction program for EnCana natural gas operations at Fort Nelson, would have happened without provincial subsidies.

The program has been unpopular since it was established. “Who in their right mind considers a school or hospital a polluter?” said Jordan Bateman, B.C. director of the Canadian Taxpayers’ Federation. “Taxpayers are spending millions on buying carbon credits for these facilities rather than providing front-line services.”

North Coast leaders react to BC Ferry cuts By Shaun Thomas THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
PRINCE RUPERT - Leaders in Prince Rupert and Haida Gwaii reacted swiftly to news of BC Ferry cuts on the North Coast. Transportation Minister Todd Stone and BC Ferries CEO Mike Corrigan announced the reductions Nov. 18 as part of a larger plan to cut cost in the years ahead. The announcement outlined a number of routes that will be impacted, but the North Coast was hit with the highest level of reduction. The Prince Rupert to Port Hardy Inside Passage will see 39 fewer sailings in 2014, a reduction of 32 per cent, while there will be one less sailing per week between Prince Rupert and Haida Gwaii, a reduction of 27.2 per cent. Between the two routes, BC Ferries expects to save a combined $5.72 million per year. “The B.C. coastal ferry service has been wrestling with cost pressures for more than 20 years. We are making tough decisions today to ensure that our coastal ferry service is sustainable for future generations,” said Stone. “These changes protect basic service levels and are in keeping with the fiscal realities facing provincial taxpayers.” However, the reductions have been met with opposi-

Every cut that happens on that route is a desperate situation for us, and it is getting quite desperate,” she said. “This is death by 1,000 cuts. We’re fighting to have our economy come back ... this is a serious matter.” Kulesha noted people rely on the Skidegate to Alliford Bay route to access the Sandspit airport while people from Sandspit rely on the ferry for everything from getting to work to medical appointments. Evan Putterill, the representative for Sandspit on the Skeena - Queen Charlotte Regional District, said he was taken aback by the extent of the reductions. “I didn’t think it would be this severe. The government seems hell bent on inflicting this onto our communities and I don’t know why,” he said, noting reducing service won’t address the key issues with BC Ferries.” Masset Mayor Andrew Merilees called the cuts “disgraceful”. “The recent decisions announced by BC Ferries are unacceptable and show a continuance of the incompetence of the government in their management of our coastal transportation system,” he said.

The proposed Project is subject to review under British Columbia’s Environmental Assessment Act and the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act, 2012.

the things the company is looking at doing would be to conduct a “social impact assessment”, which considers road use, hospitals, infrastructure, emergency services. “All of those things are part of what we have to assess as a project proponent so we can make sure the local community has what they need in order to maintain the quality of life and the services that they have,” Pierce said. un

and eco-tourism, lack of sufficient housing, increased emissions, and overall health impacts were just some of the concerns raised by audience members and some pan Local panelists – Shaben, Brown, and Gerow – all described the pace of development as overwhelming, touching on the various decisions their groups, and the area have had to confront in what they say is a relatively short time. Shaben said residents need to keep a keen eye on developments, and ensure Terrace receives a fair share of the revenue from these projects, as our infrastructure will feel the strain – a sentiment echoed by Terrace city councillor Bruce Bidgood, who asked Pierce during the question period whether her company would publicly support council’s bid for a northwest revenue sharing agreement similar to that which exists in northeast B.C. when meeting with government officials. While Pierce said she hadn’t explored the idea of a revenue sharing agreement, one of

TERRACE - The idea of a common energy corridor for potential pipeline routes in the area came up here at Nov. 13 forum on LNG (liquefied natural gas). Kitselas First Nation councillor Judy Gerow, who was a member of the forum’s panel, said in response to audience comments that she had discussed the idea with industry. “We did ask the question about sharing pipelines and they said it wasn’t possible,” Gerow said at the forum hosted by Skeena NDP MP Nathan Cullen. The forum is one of several being hosted by Cullen across the riding featuring industry and energy stakeholders, environmental groups, and business representatives discussing LNG developments in the area. It was held one day before the provincial legislature’s finance committee said the provincial Liberal government should consider a common pipeline corridor. Gerow’s comment
said to the audience. “This is a bit of a new model,” Cullen continued. “I’ve been to a lot of public meetings on resource development, I’ve been to meetings held by environment groups, and meetings hosted by First Nations, I’ve been to meetings hosted by the companies and I’ve often lamented that we couldn’t have those presentations all at the same time in the same place so that I as a citizen could evaluate the pros and cons of any project being presented in the same way.” Panelists included the aforementioned Gerow and Pierce, Clean Energy Canada representative Jeremy Moorhouse; Cheryl Brown of Douglas Channel Watch; and Janice Shaben, president of the Terrace and District Chamber of Commerce. Geoff Morrison, of the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers (CAPP) was also in the audience, and fielded questions relevant to his association.

prompted Cullen to ask industry representatives why one route isn’t being proposed. “The challenges that any one entity would have – whether that be federal or provincial government or any one of us (industry),” answered Shell/Canada LNG, which is proposing an export terminal at Kitimat, representative Suzannah Pierce, “is we would be picking winners and losers ... If you put one pipeline corridor anywhere there, somebody is going to be farther away and somebody’s going to have to pay the difference.” Nearly 200 people attended the forum, held at the REM Lee Theatre. “For a number of months people in the northwest have been coming to me saying they feel a bit overwhelmed with what’s being proposed, they’re having a hard time keeping track of all of the different proponents, all of the different pipelines and terminals and what they all mean. Not just for the projects themselves, but for the economic, environmental, local impacts,” Cullen

Trades program set to benefit students By Cameron Orr
THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
KITIMAT - To coincide with Skilled Trades and Technology Week, the Industry Training Authority (ITA) launched a youth mentorship pilot program. The Kitimat and Terrace area are one of just three regions receiving this program in its pilot phase, which seeks to connect high school students who are already in trades programs, such as ACE-IT (Accelerated Credit Enrolment in Industry Training) or the Secondary School Apprenticeship program, to journeypersons in the trades field. “The purpose of it is to help mentor them and keep them guided in the early part of their journey with any questions they may have,” said Gary Herman, interim CEO of ITA. “It gives them that guidance of insight and wisdom and knowledge that the journeyperson would have.” Herman said this program is set to run until May and students involved, which also includes recently graduated high school students, will meet with their mentors for about 30 minutes
each week for guidance. “There’s lots of activity going on in the north…and there’s going to be a high demand for skilled trades in the north and we thought this would be a very good place to start the pilot,” explained Herman. In May they will evaluate the program and decide how to roll it out for the rest of the province. Herman said it’s a great time to be looking at the trades as a career. “There’s never been a better time in British Columbia for young people to be considering a career in the trades,” said Herman. “We’re not just talking about jobs here, we’re talking about careers.” Employers or potential mentors are also welcome to submit an application for the program. The program locally will be run by the Coast Mountains School District, or people can go to ITA’s website at www.itabc.ca/mentorship to get their name into the mix. The mentorship project is anticipating connecting 50 students to mentors. The other regions receiving this program for the pilot phase in BC is the north Okanagan and Vancouver.

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 vehicles, 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. 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.

Cunningham wins byelection By Todd Hamilton THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
PRINCE RUPERT - Barry Cunningham is the new councillor for the City of Prince Rupert. Cunningham defeated five other candidates in a byelection on Saturday to fill the Prince Rupert council seat vacated by now North Coast MLA Jennifer Rice. Cunningham unofficially picked up 39.8 per cent of the ballots with 943 votes out of the 2,372 cast, Gurvinder Randhawa was second with 746 (31.5 per cent) and Wade Niesh was third with 417 votes (17.6 per cent). James Kirk, 109 votes, Larry Golden, 88 votes, and Len Lovering, 69 votes, rounded out the field. Unofficially, voter turnout was just more than 25 per cent of eligible voters. “I think [the win] was because I’ve lived here for a lot of years. People know me as an honest, hard-working person and a lot of people recognize me,” Cunningham said following the victory. The campaign trail, however, was an eye-opener for Cunningham. “When I got out there on the street,
there was a lot of people with a lot of advice. Prince Rupert has heart and we have to take all that energy and work on improving the city,” he said. Cunningham, who was the lone candidate unable to attend the all-candidates forum due to complications with kidney stones, told the Northern View that changing how Prince Rupert attracts business is key. “I would like to see the city become more business friendly ... I’m not sure if that’s loosening up bylaws ... but rather looking at each individual business and working with them,” he said. “We have to attract businesses and attract them into town. The port is getting the bulk of the new projects and we’re not getting a lot of tax base from it.” Cunningham was sympathetic to the current council saying their hands are tied, but changes are needed. “This is my first time [on council], so there are a lot of things I’ll have to check out ... but the taxpayers can’t take much more and there isn’t much left to cut, we have to increase [the tax base],” he said. “But it’s hard to work these things when you’re almost broke.”

Patrick George McSween July 18, 1957 - November 11, 2013
Miss me, but let me go When I come to the end of the road, And the sun is set for me, I want no rites in a gloom filled room, Why cry for a soul set free? Miss me a little, but not too long, And not with your head bowed low, Remember the love that once we shared, Miss me, but let me go. For this journey we must make, And each must do it alone, It’s all a part of the Master’s plan, A step on the road to home. So when you are lonely and sad at heart, Go to the friends we know, Bury your sorrows in doing your deeds, Miss be, but let me go.

All Native Qualifying Tournament underway By Shaun Thomas THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
PRINCE RUPERT - Basketball fans will want to make their way to the Russell Gamble Gymnasium this week as teams from across the province battle to earn a spot in February’s All Native Basketball Tournament. The 2013 All Native Qualifying Tournament in-
cludes five Women’s teams and six Senior teams competing in a double-elimination format competition beginning on Thursday and ending on Saturday evening. The winner of the tournament is guaranteed a spot in February’s main event. On the men’s side of things, Port Simpson and Hartley Bay will represent the North Coast against
teams from Kitamaat, Gitanyow, Kispiox and Hazelton. The women’s field includes Old Massett, Port Simpson and Hartley Bay from the North Coast competing with Old Hazelton and Tofino. All Native Tournament president Peter Haugan said it should be a great weekend of basketball action, although the tournament isn’t as big as
originally envisioned. “It’s kind of a disappointment for us because we had so many teams interested. A month ago we had 32 teams interested, but a lot of them backed out and now none of the American teams are coming,” he said, adding some of the teams will be hitting the courts in Prince Rupert for the first time. “It’s always good to
see new teams. Even Lax Kw’alaams is going to be a refurbished team with some new players.” As well as the senior and women’s teams, three intermediate teams and three masters teams registered for the tournament and are ensured a place in with the 44 registered teams for the All Native Tournament. Intermediate teams include Kitkatla,
Hesquiat from Vancouver Island and Kincolith, while Masters teams include Port Alberni, Port Simpson and Kincolith. The Women’s final will tip-off at 3:30 p.m. on Nov. 23, followed by the Senior final getting underway at 5 p.m. Individual and tournament passes are available at the door.
Terrace’s Centennial Sr. Boys win ‘A’ volleyball zones By Anna Killen
THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
TERRACE - For the first time in almost a decade the Centennial Christian School Seahawks Sr. Boys ‘A’ volleyball team has captured the title of Northwest Zone Champions. The team beat Ebenezer Christian School in the finals of a tight zone tournament, held here at the Thornhill Jr. Secondary School gym two weekends ago. The last time the team took the first place spot in the zone was in 2004. “It was a tremendous experience,” said coach Joel Ringma. “Quite an emotional roller coaster in some ways.” Between the five teams in the zone, competition was tight, he said. And in the semi-final game against Bulkley Valley Christian School, Grade 9 Evan Veldman dislocated his thumb. “That obviously hurt us and we ended up losing that game,” he said. But Grade 12 Ryan Roseboom – better known for hockey – filled in for Veldman, leading to a win in the next game and in the final. “He did a stand up job and was able to help us go over the top,” said Ringma. “We were thankful to have him.” They’re at provincials at Duncan Christian School this week – for the third year in a row, and the fourth time as a school – the northwest zone sends the top three teams to

team Bulkley Valley was a really strong team as well,” said Ringma. To prepare, the team
played an exhibition game against the Caledonia Sr. Boys – who are also heading to their own ‘AAA’ provin-
cials in Kelowna next week. “Most of the guys that are going have some experience, so that’s good,” he
said. “But really we’re just going through the same kind of practise routines, trying to ramp up the intensity.”
Terrace ringette players see success at Prince George tourney By Contribuied THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
TERRACE - The Terrace Ringette Association had three teams (U9, U12, and U16) attend the annual Joy Hoffman Ringette Tournament in Prince George November 8 to 10. Going up against teams from
Houston, Prince George, and Quesnel, all three teams dominated the ice. The U9s went undefeated while the U12’s saw one tie and three wins. And the U16 team gained momentum over the tournament. They lost their first game, but
came back to tie their second game, and ultimately ended up winning the last two. For the U16 team, goals were scored by: Jennifer Dahl, Hannah Resch, Olivia Resch, Peter Nicholson, Danny Yoo, Crimson Leblond, Sarah Mcleod, Quinn Beblow, Cassidy Pavao, and Bryn Giesbrecht.
For the U12 team, goals were scored by: Lisa Nicholson, Ty Giesbrecht, Coby Landru, Grace Magnusson, Megan Alexander, May England, Julia Yoo, and Cedar Butler. And the BC Winter Games Zone 7 team had two games against the Zone 8 team in preparation for
the Winter Games in February 2014 to be held in Mission, B.C. during the tournament. Some Terrace players are also part of the AA Northern Lights Team based out of Prince George. Their first tournament is in Lacombe, Alberta at the end of the month.

Three die crossing Skeena By Martina Perry THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
PRINCE RUPERT After two days of rescue efforts, the bodies of three Terrace boaters have been recovered from the Skeena River. Shortly after 11 p.m. on Nov. 11, Prince Rupert RCMP received a complaint of three overdue boaters who were known to be in the Frizzell Hot Springs area, 33 kilometres east of Prince Rupert. Lyle Ray Lukat, 24, Patrick John Hawkshaw, 40, and Nicole Lucy McKay, 23, were set to be back earlier that day, but come nightfall had not returned. Prince Rupert RCMP immediately visited the last known location of the trio and located two unoccupied vehicles. Because of the hour the complaint was called in, police were unable to conduct a search of the area until the following morning. At daybreak on Nov. 12, Terrace Search and Rescue, RCMP West Coast Marine Services, Royal Canadian Marine Search and Rescue-Station 64 and the Canadian Coast Guard began searching the area by both land and air for the missing boaters. By mid-afternoon, searchers recovered the body of a deceased male who was believed to be one of the boaters. The search had to be suspended later that day due to extreme weather conditions.
“The weather was particularly challenging. The waves were about three metres and there was a close call where a search boat nearly capsized. It was at that point the search was suspended,” said Const. Matt Ericson, spokesperson for the Prince Rupert RCMP. The following morning, on Nov. 13, the rescue efforts resumed. During the second day of the rescue mission, the bodies of the second male and female were

recovered. “It is with great sadness that we have to inform the public of this incident. Our sincere condolences go out to the family and friends affected by this tragic event,” said Const. Ericson. The search was concluded on Nov. 13, and the investigation has been handed to the British Columbia Coroner’s Service. Investigators are confident the matter is not suspicious in nature.

CHSS bringing Beauty and the Beast to life an unlikely friendship, with the two developing romantic feelings for each other. This is much to the dismay of Gaston (Ryan Wightman), who is planning to blackmail Belle into marrying him. “For the older generation, it will take them back to their childhood. For the younger ones it will be the story they know brought to life,” said O’Toole, who has been helping Prince Rupert students put on musicals for 20 years. O’Toole said the production has a strong cast. “Even though there’s a lot of new comers, they are willing to take risks and put themselves out there. It’s been so fun to watch the character development with a lot of them,” she said. There are 31 students in the cast this year, as well as 11 students playing in the orchestra. “We’ve had to reach into the community for [five additional] musicians, but that’s the good thing about Prince Rupert. There’s a good stock of willing and able musicians,” Jeff Saunders, musical director of the production, said. Audiences can expect beloved music from the Disney movie, including Beauty and the Beast, Be Our Guest and Gaston. “All the songs from the movie will be included, and some more tunes added for the
By Martina Perry THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
PRINCE RUPERT - Students from Charles Hays Secondary School (CHSS) want the community to “be their guest” for this year’s musical, Disney’s Beauty and the Beast. High school performers have been working on the production since September, which includes the book by Linda Woolverton, music by Alan Menken and lyrics by Howard Ashman and Tim Rice. “It’s coming along really well,” Alison O’Toole, artistic director of the production, said. “It’s a funny play. We ran through Act 1 the other night and it was hilarious. It’s going to be a really good time.” Based on the Disney classic, Beauty and the Beast is about a selfish prince (Allen Liu) who is transformed into a hideous beast as a punishment, along with everyone in his castle (Kelsy Casavant, Tony Duong, Aaron Grant, Jenny Nguyen, Cyrus Sobredo) who become inanimate objects. “The only thing that will break the spell is for the prince to love someone who loves him back,” said O’Toole. Enter Belle (Jessica Bruce), who is searching for her inventor father Maurice (Skylar Tuba) who has been taken prisoner in the Beast’s castle. Belle and the Beast form

This year more CHSS students are involved than ever, said O’Toole, with students in the school’s sewing classes helping with costumes, and the metal works class helping to create props. “Their blood, sweat and tears have gone into the set, the props, costumes, music and dances.
