Law would keep rural ridings from chopping block

Making the news in…

Available December 2

By Tom Fletcher THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

VICTORIA - The B.C. government is accepting public comments until Jan. 15 on a proposed bill to restrict the number of MLAs to the current level of 85, and to maintain the current rural and northern seats regardless of population. Current law requires an independent Electoral Boundaries Commission to be appointed in May 2014 to consider changes. The government discussion paper is posted here. The last review in 2008 recommended that an urban population shift should result in a reduction of one seat in the Cariboo-Thompson region and one in

northern B.C. The government intervened keep those seats and increase the total constituencies from 83 to 85. The B.C. Liberals and NDP agreed that northern constituencies could not get any larger and still be represented by a single MLA. The 2008 review, chaired by B.C. Supreme Court Justice Bruce Cohen, added seats in the Okanagan, Fraser Valley, Surrey, Burnaby-Tri-Cities and downtown Vancouver. It concluded that keeping all the rural seats was not consistent with the principle of representation by population. Premier Gordon Campbell intervened in the last electoral boundaries review to keep rural seats from being eliminated.

VICTORIA – The first of a series of BC Hydro rate increases takes effect in April 2014, adding $8 a month to the average residential power bill. Rate increases of nine per cent next year and six per cent in 2015 are the highest of a series of increases over five years announced Monday by Energy Minister Bill Bennett. The B.C. Utilities Commission will be directed to set rate increases that total 28 per cent over the next five years, then determine what rates are needed for the following five years, Bennett said. Bennett acknowledged that

rate increases are being kept low by using a “rate smoothing” account that defers more than $1 billion of the utility’s debt. That account won’t begin to be paid down until after 2020. BC Hydro came under heavy criticism this spring before the provincial election when it forecast even higher rates than now being put in place. The provincial Liberal government then stepped in and the 2013 increase was considerably lower than first planned. The rate increase will look like this, 9 per cent in 2014, 6 per cent in 2015, 4 per cent in 2016, 3.5 per cent in 2017 and 3 per cent in 2018. Each year’s increase is a percentage of the previous year’s rates.

Postal service resumes in Kitimat but questions arise

that change. The idea of one animal causing a permanent change to Farrow Street’s mail had Councillor Rob Goffinet in particular up in arms. “I would call into question their reasoning and ask that Canada Post justify a decision such as this that holds hostage of an entire street in perpetuity to the behaviour, temporarily, of a dog that may live on the street. I cannot believe that they would listen to our proposal, and reject it,” he said. The District of Kitimat had offered to install, on the town’s dime, a temporary community mail box if the specific problem dog remained an issue. That would allow door-todoor service to resume at a later date. Chief Administrative Officer Ron Poole said the proposal was presented but ultimately rejected by Canada Post. “That’s very disappointing,” was Goffinet’s response to that.

KITIMAT - On November 18, a long running dispute between Canada Post and a particular household on Farrow Street — a conflict which meant no mail was being delivered to that street at all since last November — has come to a resolution. But it’s a resolution that has still left questions for councillors given the final decision from Canada Post. A letter from the Kitimat office’s superintendent, Michael Gee, said that “In the event future incidents occur involving this dog menacing our delivery employees, Canada Post will make a permanent change in delivery mode for Farrow Street customers...” That change, he continued, is to install a permanent community mailbox for the street, and they will install the equipment to support

Matt Ericson spokesman for the Prince Rupert RCMP. “At this time it is far too early in the investigation to speculate as to the cause of this collision.” The accident is being investigated by both a police traffic analyst and the BC Coroners Service.

City recreation committee seeking public feedback By Shaun Thomas

THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - Members of the recreation advisory committee will be looking for input in the coming months about how to improve facilities like the Jim Ciccone Civic Centre and the Earl Mah Aquatic Centre. The group — which includes Marc Page, Ian Burrows, Sara Barrow, Judy Charlton and councillors Anna Ashley and Judy CarlickPearson — was formed in June to investigate the decrease in groups using the city’s recreational facilities and make recommendations to reverse the trend. So far the members have had informal discussions with a number of stakeholders in the community, both groups and individuals and distributed a number of questionnaires. “We’re trying to get as much information as possible from groups us-

ing the facilities and those not using them who may be wanting to. That information we hope to have ready to present early in the new year,” said Burrows. “The sooner we get that feedback the better,” added Page. The next step for the committee will be setting up an online survey available between January and April of next year, and the committee has asked council for an annual pass for a prize to be handed out at a potential free day at civic centre in April to wrap-up the survey period. Burrows also asked council to consider amending the fees bylaw to allow for potential pass sales to entice more people to get active at the civic centre. “In the business community, sometimes a sale is a good thing to drive people through the doors,” said Burrows.

Skeena Wild releases environmental report By Tom Fletcher

THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

KITIMAT - Premier Christy Clark set off last Thursday on her fourth trade mission to Asia, after sidestepping questions about the environmental impact of liquefied natural gas export plants on the Kitimat-area environment. A new report from environment group Skeena Wild concludes that if three LNG processing plants are built to burn natural gas for compression and cooling – what the industry calls direct drive – they would use two and a half times more gas than Metro Vancouver. The report calls for mod-

ern gas-fired power plants to be built outside the narrow Kitimat Valley to reduce the impact of sulphur dioxide and other pollutants that affect air and water quality. Speaking to reporters at Vancouver airport, Clark rejected the report’s claim that the government has “tacitly endorsed” the use of direct-drive production of LNG. “The study can’t have final answers on any of that, because they don’t know yet how liquefied natural gas plants will be powered,” Clark said. “We don’t know how many there will be. We’re still in negotiations with the companies about how all that’s going to

unfold.” Environment Minister Mary Polak said in an interview that one LNG proposal has applied for an environmental assessment, and two others are in discussions on B.C.’s technical requirements for a permit and how the plants would be powered. “Nothing like that has been finalized yet, and of course we are concerned about what that means for a constrained airshed like Kitimat, because we know that there are a number of facilities proposed for Kitimat,” Polak said. Polak announced in October that $650,000 has been spent on a study of LNG im-

pact in northwestern B.C. Results are expected by the end of March. U.S. Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Malaysian LNG investors expected to make final investment decisions on B.C. proposals later in 2014. The expansion of Rio Tinto-Alcan’s aluminum smelter has already required a 50 per cent increase in the plant’s allowable sulphur dioxide emissions, from 27 to 42 tonnes a day. New technology is expected to reduce the smelter’s output of fine particulates, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, fluoride and other pollutants when the upgrade is in operation in 2014.

Environmental Assessment of the Proposed Prince Rupert Gas Transmission Project Open House and Invitation to Comment Prince Rupert Gas Transmission Ltd. (Proponent), a wholly owned subsidiary of TransCanada PipeLines Limited, is proposing the Prince Rupert Gas Transmission Project (proposed Project), an approximately 900 km natural gas pipeline from near the District of Hudson’s Hope to the proposed Pacific NorthWest LNG liquefied natural gas export facility on Lelu Island, within the District of Port Edward. The proposed Project would involve the construction and operation of a 48-inch (1,219 mm) diameter pipeline, metering facilities at the receipt and delivery points, and three compressor stations, with provision for up to an additional five compressor stations to allow for future expansion. The proposed Project will have an initial capacity of approximately 2.0 billion cubic feet (bcf)/day with potential for expansion to approximately 3.6 bcf/day.

To provide information about the Application Information Requirements, EAO invites the public to attend an open house at the following locations: St. Peter’s Church Hall 599 Skeena Drive Mackenzie Wednesday November 27, 2013 4:00pm - 8:00pm

Community Hall 10310 - 100th Street Hudson’s Hope Thursday November 28, 2013 4:00pm - 8:00pm

Community Centre 770 Pacific Avenue Port Edward Thursday December 5, 2013 4:00pm - 8:00pm

The proposed Project is subject to review under BC’s Environmental Assessment Act.

There are 30 days for the submission of comments by the public in relation to the draft Application Information Requirements.

The Proponent must obtain an environmental assessment certificate before any construction work can be undertaken on the proposed Project. However, before submission of an application (Application) for a certificate by the Proponent, the BC Environmental Assessment Office (EAO) must first issue the Application Information Requirements. The Application Information Requirements will specify the studies to be conducted and the detailed information to be provided by the Proponent in its Application. EAO has now received draft Application Information Requirements from the Proponent and invites comments on this draft.

The public comment period will begin on November 19, 2013 and end on December 18, 2013. All comments received during this time in relation to the Application Information Requirements will be considered. The intention of seeking public comment is to ensure that sufficient information is provided to assess all potential effects – environmental, economic, social, heritage and health – that might result from the proposed Project in the Application.

Oil opinion shifts KITIMAT - The results of a survey conducted by a public opinion polling company show a narrowing gap between those who oppose the Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline proposal and those who support it. That’s in comparison to a survey conducted in February this year by Insights West. The survey was conducted online using a representative sample of B.C. residents. Overall support for the pipeline proposal stands at 42 per cent in their results — inclusive of people who are strongly or somewhat in favour — while 47 per cent are opposed. The company says that 42 per cent shows a seven-point increase since their February survey. The opposition, meanwhile, dropped 14 points from 61 per cent in February. That said, the northern B.C. sample size in the results is admittedly very low. With 749 total respondents, northern

B.C. encompasses just 25 people. “Unfortunately the number for the north is pretty tiny, I wouldn’t draw a lot of conclusions from it,” said Mario Canseco, vice president of public affairs for Insights West. “But when you’re looking at the province as a whole you start to see an interesting trend.” He said they would hope to at some point in the future do a study that’s more focused on the northern region.

He said there’s a number of things that could have shifted opinion on the project. That includes the rail disaster in Lac Megantic in Quebec which killed 47 people. “You see what happens by rail, there’s a lot of people who say well maybe pipelines are the option if rail is going to be so dangerous and cause so many difficulties,” said Canseco. He also said the political situation in B.C. could be a factor as well.

WEEKLY SUDOKU

By Cameron Orr

TERRACE - Natural gas may be the cleanest burning fuel there is but the amount that could be burned to produce liquefied natural gas (LNG) by as many as three plants would drastically increase industrial emissions in the Kitimat-Terrace area, says a local environmental group. SkeenaWild this week released a study indicating the amount of nitrogen oxide, for example, could rise by 500 per cent over existing levels, posing a health risk to residents. The study comes in advance of the Kitimat Airshed Impact Assessment commissioned by the provincial government that is due out next March. “We simply don’t know what a safe level is,” said SkeenaWild executive director Greg Knox of emissions. “And that’s what the provincial study is supposed to answer for us.” The study is based on the assumption that three plants being proposed for Kitimat would burn their own natural gas to power cooling systems that would liquefy the gas product, after which it would be pumped into tankers for shipment overseas. “What we’re suggesting is the province follow through and ensure these facilities are producing the cleanest LNG,” said Knox. “We’re not opposing LNG but we need to protect peoples’ health and the environment.” SkeenaWild prefers the proposed plants use a combination of power sources of power such as wind, hydro-electric and geothermal. Knox suggested airshed impacts might be reduced by constructing a natural gas-fired power plant somewhere else with transmission lines then running to LNG plants. But, said Knox, developing those sources might have environmental impacts of their own to consider. And in the case of geothermal and wind power, no such generating facilities exist in the northwest. There is, however, a plan by Calgary-based energy company Veresen to build a natural gas-fired power plant on the Skeena Industrial Development Park just south of the airport.

Port pays city $2.1 million By Shaun Thomas

THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - The City of Prince Rupert has received $2.1 million from the Prince Rupert Port Authority. The city announced the payment on Thursday afternoon, and said it is “the port’s partial payment toward their outstanding property taxes based on revised industrial property values”. “The City of Prince Rupert has been discussing the appropriate level of property tax, paid by way of a payment-in-lieu-of-tax, with the Prince Rupert Port Authority for some time. The Prince Rupert Port Authority board of directors has directed a $2.1 million partial payment given the financial circumstances of the City of Prince Rupert,” the city said in a statement. “The City of Prince Rupert has been facing financial hardship for a number of years, and has accepted this partial payment.” Prince Rupert Port Authority manager of corporate communication Michael Gurney

said the payment comes as discussions surrounding payments continue between the two organizations. “The payment referenced in the city’s news release is part of a larger process in which the Prince Rupert Port Authority and the City of Prince Rupert are engaged around payment-in-lieu-of-taxes,” he said. “This process is ongoing and this payment shows the port authority’s good faith in reaching a mutually-beneficial conclusion to this process.” Prince Rupert’s chief financial officer Corinne Bomben said the money will likely be carried forward to next year, as tax money goes into general revenue and capital projects for the coming year are already planned, and noted the money will be split with other entities that benefit from property taxes such as the Northwest Regional Hospital Board, Skeena – Queen Charlotte Regional District and the Prince Rupert School District. Bomben said the payment is an interim payment to address 2007 to 2011, and there is approximately $1.4 million outstanding.

Skeena MLA not surprised LNG tax plan has been delayed Skeena NDP MLA Robin Austin says he’s not surprised the provincial government has delayed the release of its much anticipated liquefied natural gas (LNG) tax regime. “Really, the province is only now realizing it has to stop cheerleading. They have some very very complicated work to do to achieve their goals,” said Austin, who is his party’s critic on LNG development. His comments follow the Nov. 19 announcement by LNG minister Rich Coleman that the province is putting off the release of its tax proposal until February. An announcement had been expected this month. It’s the second time Coleman has announced a delay in how the provincial government says it will earn revenue from the LNG industry. LNG companies and the province have been

in negotiations for some time now over how much the latter would pay to extract and process natural gas. The lack, so far, of a tax regime is said to be holding up the signing of LNG sales contracts because companies don’t know how much tax they’ll be paying. Austin suspects the provincial government has bumped into two much-publicized but contradictory goals – one to provide billions of dollars to taxpayers and the other to provide an attractive climate for LNG investors. “Here they are saying they are going to pay down the debt and also pay for health care and education at the same time as saying they are going to have the most competitive jurisdiction in the world for LNG,” he said. “The LNG companies will want to pay the lowest amount for the

Robin Austin resource while it’s the job of the government to maximize the resource for the people who own it and that’s the people. “I think they’re going to end up with less and are going to start to spin that,” Austin added of the provincial government. LNG companies in Australia, for instance, negotiated a system whereby they are able to deduct the difference between a project’s final costs from its first

estimates from royalties owed. Austin said it’s a pretty generous plan with the taxpayer absorbing the risk of projects instead of company shareholders. The MLA is also wondering how the province is going to meet its own legislated greenhouse gas emission goals while encouraging the construction of LNG plants which will burn natural gas for power. “Obviously there’s going to be a problem here,” said Austin. He believes, based on hints coming from the province, the provincial government will try to sell the idea it is reducing greenhouse gases through the sale of natural gas to Asian markets if the gas replaces more polluting methods of power production in those countries. “But the goals that were set, and we sup-

Winter forces a delay in City of Terrace projects By Josh Massey THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

TERRACE - Two major City of Terrace public works projects begun this year will most likely have to be put on hold until next spring. The push is on to complete a major overhaul of a block of McConnell Ave. in the Horseshoe and the extension of the Grand Trunk Pathway, popularly called the millennium trail, but Rob Schibli said that while they are nearing completion, some of the jobs have already been rescheduled until spring. While there has been

“no final call on projects”, as of last week there were several outstanding aspects of both projects that needed completing. The resurfacing and redo of water systems and driveways on McConnell Ave. still requires “some driveway paving, weather and plant availability dependent,” said Schibli, adding that the new topsoil and seed for the boulevard section of the avenue have already been rescheduled to spring. The grading and paving of the Grand Trunk Pathway was planned for completion this year but is now “extremely unlikely”.

The topsoil and grass seeding will be done in the spring as planned and the fencing along

the south perimeter is ongoing this year. Benches and shrubs will also be put in next year.

ported them, were domestic,” Austin said. Coleman now says the LNG tax plan will be released next February, the same time as the

province begins formal budget deliberations. And it will take the form of a tax on LNG output, the minister added.

Auction raises $57,000 By Shaun Thomas

THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - The 49th Annual Prince Rupert Rotary Auction took place over the course of three nights last week, and organizers are calling the event a resounding success. In total, 300 businesses donated more than 700 items with a value of approximately $87,000 to this year’s auction. When all the bids were in and the items delivered the auction raised $57,000 before expenses for the work of Rotary in Prince Rupert a return rate of almost 66 per cent. “The total value donated this year was about 10 per cent higher than last year. We are very pleased with the level of support given to us each year from the business community and the

support from the buyers,” said Prince Rupert Rotary Club treasurer Bill Nicholls. This year’s auction saw a number of changes compared to past years. 2013 was the first year in some time the auction wasn’t broadcast over the radio, and people tuning into channel 10 would have noticed three people sitting behind the auction desk as opposed to the usual two. Money raised from the auction will go toward community projects such as Rotary Exchange trips for students, the annual backpack program, the Polar Bear Swim, Easter Egg Hunt and breakfast programs and fruit programs at Prince Rupert schools while supporting community events.

TERRACE - The Northwest Regional Airport hit a Nov. 25 with its inaugural WestJet flight. A new Bombardier Q400, 78-seat airplane touched down shortly before 1:30 p.m., and the first passengers were greeted with much hoopla as residents and officials gathered to celebrate the long-awaited arrival of a third major airline. “It was great, it’s nice to have another carrier. We needed it.” said Terrace resident Robyn Henderson, who flew home on the inaugural WestJet flight 3105. “You can fly from Terrace to Dublin now to have a beer,” said Doug Groves, former vice president of the Northwest Regional Airport, who was part of the ribbon cutting ceremony

held at the departure gate. “WestJet just added Dublin last week to their European destinations.” Terrace mayor David Pernarowski and WestJet executive vice president of marketing and sales Bob Cummings were also on hand for the ribbon snipping, which followed a greeting by Kitselas First Nation official Clarisa Spencer. “It was quiet and quick. It was about an hour and twenty minutes,” said Hendry, who was on the flight from Vancouver to Terrace, adding it’s about ten minutes faster than other flights.

LAKELSE LAKE - IT’S YOUR LAKE….. PUBLIC OPEN HOUSES – Lakelse Lake Community Sewer Environmental Assessment Project

The Regional District has a responsibility to protect the broader public interest of valued regional resources such as Lakelse Lake. The Regional District is working with qualified environmental professionals and engineers to develop the Lakelse Lake Community Wastewater System through the Environmental Assessment process. A Community Wastewater System will help to protect the lake from declining water quality. We invite you to attend the Open House to learn more about the Project and participate in this important discussion. The purpose of the Open Houses is to present project information and gather stakeholder input. We continue to explore new ways to engage stakeholders as public input is important so we are conducting a pilot project that involves “Information Dialogues” at the Open Houses. Space is limited so if you are interested in participating, please respond by phone or e-mail LindaZ@cambriagordon.com (250) 638-0498 or info@rdks.bc.ca FOR COMPLETE DETAILES, INCLUDING SCHEDULES OF THE DIALOGUE SESSIONS, SEE THE REGIONAL DISTRICT WEBSITE.

The Family of Allister Boyd from Kitimat, BC, wish to express sincere and deepest appreciation to all our relatives, friends and neighbours for the kindness shown to us during our recent bereavement. Special thanks to Rev. Willem Van der Westhuizen for conducting a beautiful Memorial Service, and to Andrew, Ray and Ron for their kind, heart-felt words. To our Palliative Care nurses, that eased the pain and showed compassion during this difficult time. To those who showed concern in your prayers, visits, cards, calls and overabundance of food. Your kindness and thoughtful deeds will always be remembered and cherished. Bless you all. Pauline and Family

Arthur Pugh On the 24th of November 2013 the world lost a very special and clearly loved man. Art passed away with his wife of 55 years, Eirwen at his bedside. Proud father of Alastair (Jane) and grandson Austin. Also survived by sisters-in-law Muriel (Alan), Cindy (John) and many nieces and nephews. Art was born in Wallasey, England in 1937 and immigrated to Canada in 1964 and lived in Kitimat until 2009 when he and his wife moved to Salmon Arm. Always the volunteer, he was very involved in his Church, he was a scout leader and coached soccer. The Legion meant a great deal to Art. He served several terms as President of the Kitimat Branch and then became the Northwest Zone Commander and the sports officer for the Pacific Command. He was a life member of the Kitimat Branch. Art was a loving, caring man with a wonderful sense of humour. There will be no service at Artâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s request. Donations can be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation. The family would like to thank the staff at Harmony Haven, Dr. Welder, the staff at Hillside Village, especially cottage 4, for the dedicated care he received. Online condolences can be sent through Artâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s obituary at www.bowersfuneralservice.com Arrangements are in the care of Bowers Funeral Home and Crematorium, Salmon Arm.

Rampage defeat Steelheads in overtime By Shaun Thomas

THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - The struggling Smithers Steelheads pulled into Prince Rupert on Saturday night looking to snap a five-game losing streak, but it would be the hometown Rampage who picked up their second consecutive win in a see-saw battle that took extra time to settle. The Steelheads brought a noticeably short bench west, with only 11 skaters and two goaltenders, but the defending league champions proved more than capable of matching the Rampage in the early going. Smithers netminder Tyler Perreault and Rampage goalie Keano Wilson stopped everything that came their way to start, and it wasn’t until there was just 5:48 to play that the tie was broken when Prince Rupert’s Jordan Aubee found the back of the net to bring the crowd to their feet. That would prove to be all the scoring in the opening 20 minutes, giving the Rampage a 1-0 lead going into the second. Prince Rupert kept up the pressure early in the second, which lead to Craig Munro beating Perreault to extend the Rampage’s lead. While other teams may have become disheartened with a short bench and a two-goal

Craig Munro’s wrister beats Tyler Perreault for the Rampage’s third goal of the game. deficit early in the second, the Steelheads dug deep and controlled the rest of the period offensively. Captain Darryl Young cut the lead to one with 8:59 to play, Adam Devries tied things up with 5:13 to play and Devries netted his second of the game less than two minutes later to complete the comeback and give Smithers the 3-2 lead with 20 minutes left to play. The Rampage, however, were determined not to let the game slip away and pick-

up their first home win of the season. After much back and forth play, Craig Munro sniped a wrister over Perreault’s blocker with 13:06 to play to tie things up at three, and Munro nearly put the game out of reach with two shorthanded breakaways less than a minute apart that were both stopped. With less than six minutes on the clock, Brad Deshane fired a wrist shot through a crowd from just inside the blue-line that got past Perreault, giving

the crowd hopes for a regulation win, but less than a minute later Ian Wilson lobbed a puck into the zone that was mishandled by Wilson and found the back of the net to tie things up again. While both teams had their opportunities late in the frame, neither were able to capitalize and the regulation buzzer sounded with a 4-4 tie leading to a five-minute overtime period. In the overtime, Smithers took a tripping penalty with

3:33 to play that would prove to be costly. After cycling the puck around, the Rampage’s Brock Ward finished a crossice one-timer from Deshane that went under the glove of Perreault with 2:15 on the clock to give Prince Rupert the victory. “They put our line out there for the whole powerplay, and we wanted to mix it up. We needed to get some net-front presence, which we did with Craig Munro getting in front of the goalie, and we

just had to get a good shot off. It just happened it came off my stick,” said Ward of the overtime winner. The victory was the Rampage’s second straight win against a tough division rival after picking up only a single victory early in the season, and Ward said it all comes down to the team beginning to gel. “At the beginning of the season we knew we had a great team, but we had a lot of injuries, including myself ... the biggest momentum change is just sticking to the game plan. We are not going to be a team that goes out there and dangles the puck around every other team, we need to be workhorses every game and we need to go out and play a full 60 minutes every single game,” he said, noting how great it is to be on a winning streak. “We have a great coach in Roger Atchison who is really working hard with the team. Everyone is now buying into the system and we just need to focus on working hard every game. If we do that, we’re going to get two points every time.” Next up for the Rampage is the Houston Luckies, a team that sits near the top of the CIHL western conference but suffered a loss to the Kitimat Ice Demons on Saturday night.

Hard to believe Subban is missing from Olympic squad It’s hard to believe, but the National Hockey League player chosen as the best defenceman last year — a true, redblooded Canadian (and a Canadien) — is not yet a lock for Canada’s Olympic team roster. The P.K. Subban affair is all the rage when it comes to hockey controversies, and we won’t know how the final chapter plays out until the Olympic brass led by executive director Steve Yzerman and coach Mike Babcock announce the provisional roster on Dec. 31. Subban, the flashy fourth-year defenceman with Montreal Canadiens, won the Norris Trophy last year largely on the strength of his offensive prowess; he led all NHL defencemen in scoring with 38 points in 42 games. But while an NHL scoring champ would likely be an automatic selection for a forward position, and a Vezinatrophy winning goaltender would nearly be guaranteed a spot on the Olympic team, the polarizing Subban is apparently a 50-50 proposition to take part in the 2014 Olympics at Sochi. Two reasons. For one, he is a right-hand shot, and two, he doesn’t

always take proper care of the puck in his own end. Yzerman and Co. say they’d like a 50-50 split of left- and righthand shooters on the blueline. That means Subban is not in a battle for one of seven or eight defensive positions on the team, but in a fight for one of four among those who shoot right. And there is stiff competition in that area: Shea Weber, Drew Doughty, Kris Letang, Brent Seabrook and Alex Pietrangelo join Subban as contenders who shoot from the right side. “Of the eight defencemen we have, I can’t guarantee there will be four rights and four lefts,” Yzerman told NHL.com. “But I do believe there are advantages of having rights play with lefts in a game. It won’t be the final factor but it does come into our decision-making.” Subban’s occasional carelessness with the puck might be a bigger factor. Over 82 regularseason games, he can cough it up occasionally and go on to score or set up enough goals to make up for his gaffes. In a short Olympic tournament, however, giveaways could be killers, and some NHL officials

Overtime are leery of his cavalier play in his own end. In the end, however, Subban will almost certainly be chosen for the team. Winning a Norris trophy is quite a creden-

tial to have on one’s resume, and it would look even better with a gold medal hanging around it in Subban’s trophy case. • Steve Simmons of SunMedia: “Heard a Scotty Bowman interview recently. He was asked who the second-best forward in the NHL was, behind Sidney Crosby. He answered something about Sweden having a terrific and deep defence for the Olympics.” • Brad Dickson of the Omaha World-Herald: “Renaldo Balkman has tattoos on each of his eyelids. The only thing left for NBA players to tattoo is their tonsils.” • Greg Cote of the Mi-

ami Herald: “The Heat’s Shane Battier revealed his real surname was ‘Battle’ but was changed because of incorrect spelling on his birth certificate. I hear the same thing happened to the suspended Dolphins guard, Richie Incogidiot.” • Cote again: “Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said he can’t ‘fathom’ NBA teams tanking for higher draft positioning. I can’t fathom Coach K being unable to fathom that.” • Scott Ostler of the San Francisco Chronicle, on the reluctance of NBA general managers to sign Jason Collins, who came

out as gay this summer, because of the supposed ‘circus’ it would create around their team: “Hey, owners and GMs: Branch Rickey just called. He offered to loan you some character.” • Dickson again: “We’ve lost the true meaning of the holidays. Santa announced he won’t be able to deliver all his gifts by Christmas Day because he’s appearing at halftime of the BullsNets game.” • RJ Currie of sportsdeke.com: “Saskatchewan quarterback Darian Durant’s nickname is Double D.
