Kitsault energy plan takes step forward By Anna Killen

TERRACE - Kitsault Energy, the company wanting to build and operate a liquefied natural gas (LNG) export plant near an abandoned mining town north of Terrace, has applied for a 25year natural gas export licence from federal regulators, the latest step in the company’s bid to export Canadian shale gas to Asian markets. Submitted to the National Energy Board (NEB) on Dec. 18, 2013, the filing requests a licence authorizing the export of up to 20 million tonnes of LNG per year for a term of 25 years.

The company intends to initially use smaller floating liquefaction plants beginning in 2018 and add on to those plants in future years in order to export up to 2.6 billion cubic feet of gas per day. “The proposed LNG terminal will be comprised of a floating, and/or land-based natural gas liquefaction plant, LNG storage and marine loading facilities,” reads the filing. Kitsault Energy was formed by Kitsault townsite owner Krishnan Suthanthiran to market the location as an energy hub because its location on Alice Arm provides access to the Pacific Ocean for LNG tankers and its

convenience as an end point for natural gas pipelines originating in northeastern B.C. The townsite was initially built to house molybdenum mine workers and their families, but was abandoned over 30 years ago when the mine closed. The outfit still needs to find partners or investors for an approximately 600-kilometre long pipeline to bring the product to Kitsault, the LNG facilities it wants built, and a supply of natural gas itself. “Kitsault Energy will employ several models for export including a tolling model and one where project partners may own their gas supply or contracts

and be responsible for sales and delivery,” reads the filing. “Accordingly, Kitsault energy may or may not be involved directly in the purchase and sale of natural gas with respect to export of gas from Canada.” The company intends to power the project using electric drives utilizing a BC Hydro transmission line already in use at Kitsault, gas turbine power generation, or a combination of the two, reads the filing. Three northwest LNG terminals received approval for export licences from the NEB last month. Three other projects in the Kitimat area received approval earlier.

There’s a plan behind keeping roads clear of snow, ice TERRACE - With the snowy and slushy conditions on the roads this holiday season, road clearing crews had their work cut out for them to keep traffic moving. To give the public a better idea of how road clearing works, Nechako Northcoast operations manager Peter Lansdowne took some time to explain it to the regional district board late last year. The public may think road crews aren’t out at the right time or in the right places, but they have a schedule, said Lansdowne. Shifts start at midnight and noon for 12 hours and if needed, a cover crew is out at 6 a.m. in heavy winter weather, he said. People have complained that crews were not out before the traffic starts, which is why Nechako changed from a 4 a.m. shift to midnight, said Lansdowne. “It’s amazing that people think our trucks aren’t out there,” said Lansdowne, adding that from his point of view, if motorists don’t see the crews and the road is in decent shape, that’s the best thing because Nechako doesn’t want to delay travellers. Crews work 24/7 and are out clearing the roads when traffic is light, Lansdowne told the regional district. “We time the trucks to [go out] in front of school bus routes,” said Lansdowne, adding that they’re always in touch with the bus operators. The public needs to be aware that the truck drivers are told to clear the centre line of the roads and they’re not trying to run vehicles off the road, said Lansdowne. Crews are also instructed to hold their position on the road going up hills or around corners to ensure they’re cleaned, he said. It can be difficult to predict when and where little squalls of intense bands of snowfall will fall and when they do, in minutes the road can look like that snowfall has been there for days,

he said. “We try to get word out, so people are aware of the conditions before people go out so they can make an educated decision,” said Lansdowne, adding he likes to hear from people directly so if the regional district directors hear comments from their constituents to pass it on to his office. One way to help motorists stay safe on area roads is the message boards, such as the one west of Terrace just before crossing the bridge to Kitsumkalum and new ones on the east side of the city on Hwy 16, two at Kitwanga and one at Krumm Rd., he added. Webcams are another way to pass on road conditions to motorists and a new one at Rosswood just came online recently, he said. “Tis the season to get yelled at for snow removal,” joked City of Terrace board representative Bruce Bidgood. He said he hears from constituents at Alcan and their concerns range from the snow removal crews not being out early enough before they commute between Terrace and Kitimat, that the snowplow blades are

can workers who commute between Terrace and Kitimat. Lansdowne said he’s met with Rio Tinto Alcan and information has gone out in their company newsletters. As for the snowplow blades not touching the ground, a lot of blades

have been worn out. “The thing about aggregate is you can appreciate a load or two loads of sand only goes so far,” he said. “There are days [when] there’s never enough sand.” And heavy trucks will blow sand out of the driving lanes and into

the centre of the road, he added. Salt is the best tool to remove snow and ice but if it’s used at the wrong time, it can create conditions that are much more dangerous, he said. Salt requires traffic, the sun or a heat source to activate it. Often a brine will form and refreeze and it’s dangerous and really hard to get off the road surface, he explained. “It creates all kinds of grief,” he said. Anther thing that’s done is to put down liquid calcium, which helps to activate the salt by starting a chemical reaction that cuts down on the amount of salt used, which is better because salt is harmful to the environment. Kitimat councillor Corinne Scott said a problem with calcium is that besides helping to activate the salt, it’s also very slippery when it’s wet and is like soap scum or slime. Lansdowne said that was true but that “slimy component” doesn’t last. Terrace area director Doug McLeod commended Nechako and the ministry for working on road safety, especially since the Hwy16 and Hwy 37 corner is very

busy these days with all the logging traffic. “I appreciate the effort, also thank you for putting street lights out at Water Lily bay, which are very helpful at this time of year,” he said, referring it getting dark sooner in winter. And he also thanked Lansdowne for putting up the “slingshot fence” on the other aide of airport hill, which has already been tested a few times, he said. Lansdowne said a woman had called to say thanks for the fence after her husband had hit it and it had stopped his vehicle. Before that, they had been wondering if it would really stop a vehicle and now they knew it would. Lansdowne said that kind of fence was way less expensive than putting up a railing and that it was relatively new up here but had been used in medians in the Fraser valley for awhile now. “The reason we use it up here is it’s not cost effective to try to construct shoulders to provide enough width to put concrete barriers in,” he said. The toll-free number with 24 hour access to the road crews is 1-800665-5051.

Kitimat assessments leading the pack The Northern connector

KITIMAT - The assessed values of properties in Kitimat continue their rise, as BC Assessment announces Kitimat’s assessment roll has gone up 29.51 per cent. That’s across all classifications, Residential and commercial. On average, a single-family residential property that in 2013 would have been assessed at $180,000 is now $228,000, or an increase of 26.67 per cent. Only one other community in the northwest would see an increase in the 20 per cent range. New Hazelton rose 22.3 per cent, however their average assessed value is much lower than Kitimat’s. A home there at $88,000 would on average now be $108,000, $120,000 lower than a Kitimat home. Most assessments in the region did go up, and the overall northwest region assessment roll increased from $7.669 billion to $8.595 billion this year. The City of Terrace rose 10.91 per cent. An average home of $220,000 in 2013 would now be valued $244,000. The City of Prince Rupert rose 8.89 per cent.

There were some drops however. The District of Stewart dropped 6.33 per cent, from a $79,000 average home price to $74,000. The Village of Queen Charlotte fell 2.38 per cent, and the Village of Masset dropped 2.04 per cent. The District of Port Edward went down 4.55 per cent, and the Village of Port Clements dropped 6.33 per cent. Interestingly, the Village of Hazelton saw absolutely no shift in their assessments. While the sharp increase in assessed values in Kitimat may alarm some as they think ahead to paying their property taxes, the District of Kitimat won’t be jumping your payments by that 20+ per cent increase. After 2013’s assessed values numbers were released, Kitimat Chief Administrative Officer Ron Poole explained that taxes here are based on the average increase, which for all residential was 27.23 per cent. But that’s essentially the base line. The city is shooting for a three per cent spending increase this year, and they’ll set the appropriate tax rate to that average base line. So if your assessed value was under the average you might see a

slightly lower tax increase for your home, while a home above that will see a slight increase, but usually only within a small per cent. So in short, an assessed value rise of 20 per cent does not translate into a 20 per cent increase of taxes. As usual home owners can appeal their assessment roll. “Property owners who feel that their property assessment does not reflect market value as of July 1, 2013 or see incorrect information on their notice should contact BC Assessment as indicated on their notice as soon as possible in January, said deputy assessor Christopher Whyte. “If a property owner is still concerned about their assessment after speaking to one of our appraisers they may submit a Notice of Complaint by January 31 for an independent review by a Property Assessment Review Panel,” he added. Those panels will be meeting between February 1 and March 15. Property owners can call BC Assessment at 1-866-825-8322 for more information. The average increase for residential properties in Prince Rupert rose by 8.89 per cent from 2013 to 2014, meaning

the average home with a value of $180,000 last year would be assessed at $196,000 this year. However, some homeowners have reported increases as high as $27,000 year-over-year. In neighbouring Port Edward the average assessed value fell by 4.55 per cent, meaning a home valued at $132,000 would be valued at $126,000 this year. With assessments tied to municipal taxes, which are based on the value of their home, anyone who feels the assessment isn’t indicative of the true value will have to act quickly to appeal the notice. While the assessments may mean more money being paid by homeowners, both the City of Prince Rupert and District of Port Edward can expect a jump in income based on a growing tax roll in 2014. The tax roll in Prince Rupert rose from 10.12 per cent to sit at $1.43 billion compared to $1.3 billion last year. The residential tax roll is up 8.5 per cent while the commercial tax roll is up 14.84 per cent. The District of Port Edward saw a 7.7 per cent increase in its tax roll to sit at $76.9 million compared to $71.4 million last year. Although the resi-

dential tax roll dropped by 4.16 per cent, the commercial tax roll ballooned 91.3 per cent, almost doubling from $12.4 million last year to $23.7 million for 2014. Generally, northwest assessment levels are very different from a decade ago when sharp drops were recorded.

northwest transmission line Snowmobiler and Winter Recreation Users Public Safety Notice Snowmobilers and winter recreationalists (cross country skiers, snow shoers, etc.) should be aware that the Northwest Transmission Line (NTL) is under construction, and the NTL right-of-way remains a construction zone with restricted access. This is required to avoid safety risks associated with such things as unmarked guy lines, construction materials and other potential hazards along the right-of-way, as well as for public and worker safety as construction activities continue. In particular, over the past year many of the transmission structures for the NTL project have been installed. Most of these structures are supported by currently unmarked guy lines which can be very difficult to see against a snow background. Please avoid using the right-of-way for your activities. If you are in the area, take extra care when travelling in the vicinity of the transmission structures.

Study shows bear watching more valuable than hunting By Tom Fletcher The Northern connector

PRINCE RUPERT - B.C.’s Coastal First Nations were quick to endorse a new U.S. study of the value of bear viewing in their traditional territories. Kitasoo/Xai’xais councillor Doug Neasloss said the study by the Washington D.C.-based Centre for Responsible Travel supports what the northwest coast aboriginal communities have been saying for years: “Bears are worth more alive than they are dead.” The study calculated that in 2012, bear viewing in what is now popularly known as the Great Bear Rainforest generated 12 times the visitor revenue as bear hunting. It counts 510 people employed in bear viewing companies compared to 12 jobs in guided hunting. The study is the latest salvo in a battle over trophy hunting in B.C. In November the province proposed to expand its traditional grizzly hunt to include Cariboo and Kootenay regions that were previously closed due to population concerns. The Coastal First Nations, which includes Haida, Heiltsuk and seven other North Coast communities, has asserted its unresolved treaty

rights in logging and pipeline protests as well as bear hunting. In 2012 the group announced a ban on trophy hunting for bears in its territories. The province has continued to issue “harvesting” permits, including one well-publicized trophy shot by NHL player Clayton Stoner in May 2013, who took only the head and paws. The U.S. study, funded by Tides Canada and Nature Conservancy USA, suggested B.C. has overstated the value of its guide-outfitter business to remote economies. The province tracks wildlife populations and records human-related deaths, including vehicle accidents and “conflict kills,” where ranchers or conservation officers shoot bears to protect homes or livestock. The U.S. study reports that there were 74 grizzly hunters from outside B.C. in 2012, 80 per cent of them from the U.S. From 1976 to 2009 the province issued hunting permits for an average of 297 grizzly bears a year. Douglas Brown / the NORTHERN CONNECTOR

Bear viewing companies on B.C.’s remote North Coast are growing as hunting declines, according to a U.S. analysis.

Pianists to start the year Submitted

THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

KITIMAT - The next performance in Kitimat’s Concert Association series promises to be uniquely special. They have a renowned concert pianists coming in January. With their unique programming and captivating stage presence, The Fung-Chiu pianists have quickly become one of Canada’s premiere pianoduos. Janelle Fung and Philip Chiu are a young, stylish, articulate and thoroughly modern musical team that plays from the standard classical repertoire, but also creates original transcriptions of repertoire that tickles the Duo’s fancy and those of its impassioned audiences. Established pianists in their own right, they have come together to present concerts that challenge the traditional boundaries of piano four hands, a challenging form of performance where two musicians play together on the same piano. The Fung-Chiu Duo was formed in 2007 under the auspices of Jeunesses Musicales Canada. They have since performed extensively throughout Canada, including two multi-city tours

as well as gala appearances at Casino de Montréal and the Orford Arts Centre. Their self-produced debut CD, Fairy Tales and Folklore, was released in 2008 to wide acclaim. Upcoming projects include a collaboration with actor Reid Morgan to commemorate the 100th anniversary of World War I, as well as a multi-disciplinary show that combines music and contemporary dance. The Fung-Chiu Duo is committed to expanding the repertoire for piano four-hands. Their original transcriptions include Stravinsky’s Firebird, Bernstein’s West Side Story, and Prokofiev’s Romeo and Juliet. They also commissioned a work from Canadian composer Emily Doolittle entitled Sorex. They have been featured on local radio stations across the country and can be heard on CBC and RadioCanada. Kitimat’s young musicians are in for a special treat as well: Fung Chui will be providing a workshop where our youngsters will be getting the duo’s expert advice on improving their pieces for the upcoming Music Festival. The concert will take place at the Mount Elizabeth Theatre on January 16 at 8:00 p.m.

SPCA adopts out more animals in 2013 By Martina Perry The Northern connector

PRINCE RUPERT - It was a happy ending for more of the animals sheltered at the Prince Rupert SPCA in 2013 than in 2012. Adoption rates at Prince Rupert’s branch were up 32 per cent in 2013, with 78 local adoptions taking place and 135 animals being transferred out and adopted for a total of 213. Last year 289 animals were housed at the branch, which included 161 cats, 125 dogs, two rabbits and one bat. Branch manager Anna Terebka said the Prince Rupert SPCA had a 90 per cent live release rate in 2013, meaning animals were either adopted, transferred for adoption, or were redeemed by

their owner. This is up from 80 per cent in 2012. The remaining 10 per cent are either still up for adoption,were too unhealthy to be saved, had unassisted death, post-operative death or were euthanized because they were a risk to people or other animals. Fifty fewer animals went through the Prince Rupert SPCA last year compared to 2012, which Terebka said is because the branch no longer accepts feral cats. “People would trap the cats and bring them to us. We no longer let that happen. A feral cat in a trap [is cruel],” Terebka said, adding the branch’s main goal of 2014 is to start a program where trained volunteers will capture fe-

ral cats, bring them to the SPCA to have them spayed or neutered, then release them. “We’re going to leave feral cats on the streets and promote spay and neuter. Those cats have adapted to living in the wild.” The Prince Rupert branch will apply for grants in order tolaunch the program and will take steps to educate the public on the subject. To start off the new year, the branch will hold a volunteer orientation session to help train animal lovers and provide them with options on how to help. Potential volunteers will help with tasks like the spay/neuter program, fundraising events, humane education and advocacy, cleaning and more.

Mining industry posts growth

VICTORIA - B.C.’s mining industry continues to grow and expand as new projects, construction starts and expansions drove job creation and investment throughout the mining industry in 2013. The most important highlight of 2013 was the celebration of a new mine going into production in August. Mt. Milligan mine north of Prince George, a $1.5-billion project with 350 permanent jobs, shipped its first copper ore in late summer and celebrated its commissioning in October. Additionally, a number of operating mines made improvements to their operations. Both Gibraltar mine in the Cariboo and Line Creek in the Kootenays received Mines Act permit amendments that resulted in almost $400 million in investment and ensured jobs for 650 workers. Mine construction dominated industry progress in 2013 with a number of large projects well on their way to becoming producing mines. Red Chris mine in the Northeast is well on its way. The $500-million project is expected to start producing ore in 2014. Roman mine, near Tumbler Ridge, also started construction and the company is working toward production in 2014. Both industry and the Province continue to work closely with First Nations on resource development, setting out clear expectations for the consultation process and working toward more revenue-sharing agreements. Mining employs more First Nations than any other industry in B.C. The Province has signed 10 economic and community development agreements with First Nations to date. In 2013, the first cheques were delivered to First Nations for agreements with New Afton, Copper Mountain and Highland Valley mines. Mining continues to be one of B.C.’s safest heavy industries and has a lower injury rate than most of the other resource and industrial sectors.

Due to circumstances beyond our control, the Kitimat Salvation Army Thrift Store will be CLOSING January 25, 2014. We would like to thank our loyal employees and volunteers down through the years. Also we are grateful to the community of Kitimat for their generous donations and our many customers who have supported the Thrift Store. We will no longer be accepting donations.

Red Raven assists food bank …

anna killen / the NORTHERN CONNECTOR

TERRACE - Members of the Red Raven Gallery stand with the food they collected for the Terrace Churches Food Bank over the Dec. 13 weekend – customers at the gallery were given 10 per cent off if they donated a non-perishable food item. “We collected four or five big boxes, everything from toothbrushes, soap and lots of food,” said photographer Sylvia Hart, noting that the gallery will probably do another big push for the food bank when they are in their new location. “It’s so easy to forget after Christmas that people are still in need,” she said. This is the gallery’s last week in their temporary location beside Mr. Mikes and they’re hoping another local benefactor will allow them to set up shop in a space that’s not being used.

THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - The North Coast rallied around the family of Adam Moore last week in a desperate search to locate the missing Prince Rupert man. Moore, 26, was last seen in the area of 7-11 at approximately 3:15 a.m. on Dec. 29 and has not been seen or heard from since. Prince Rupert RCMP said initial reports indicated that Moore may have driven to Terrace in his black 2005 Volkswagen Jetta, B.C. licence plate 517 NVV, something police were unable to corroborate. Early in the week, RCMP conducted aerial searches between Terrace and Prince Rupert while Royal Canadian Marine Search and Rescue (Station 64 – Prince Rupert) searched along the waters of the Skeena River and Terrace Search and Rescue undertook a search on foot between the two communities. There was a break in the case over the weekend when countless volunteers came out to help search in the Prince Rupert and Port Edward area. At approximately 2 p.m. on Jan. 5, RCMP cordoned off an area along

the entrance to the Galloway Rapids Bridge after searchers discovered pieces of a vehicle. Those pieces were later confirmed to belong to the Jetta driven by Moore and a search of the waters in the area began. A dive team and underwater cameras arrived on the scene and a dive team from Kamloops arrived on Jan. 7. However, as of Wednesday morning the vehicle had yet to be recovered. For the week leading up to the discovery, the family had been reaching out to the community to help locate Adam. A group on Facebook quickly created close to 5,000 likes as people Inez Shanoss looked for updates and ways to become involved in the search. “As Adam’s mother, this has to be the most devastating part of my life. I love my son, and value him so much, with all my heart. It’s frightening to be in this situation,” said Inez Shanoss at a Jan. 3 media conference, noting how thankful the family was for the support of those in Prince Rupert and around the region. “I hope and pray that he’s safe ... we miss him so much and hope for his safe return,” said father Lance Clark. Look for updates on this breaking story as they become available at thenorthernview.com.

“As Adam’s mother, this has to be the most devestating part of my life.”

Terrace tops in real estate By Josh Massey

The Northern connector

Terrace was the property sales champion of the Northwest in 2013, according to a report released Jan. 7, 2014 by the BC Northern Real Estate Board. Compared to neighbouring cities of comparable size, Terrace saw 384 properties change hands in 2013, compared to Kitimat which had 235 and Prince Rupert 261. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The 384 properties that sold in the Terrace area in 2013 were worth $87.8 million compared with 2012â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 318 properties worth $66 million,â&#x20AC;? reads the report. By the end of December, there were 111 properties of all types available in the Terrace area, which was a drop from 157 in 2012. The average sale prices in Terrace, Kitimat and Prince Rupert jumped significantly compared to previous years, the report shows. The 235 total sales in Kitimat in 2013 were worth $56.9 million, compared to the 239 properties worth $41.3 million that sold in 2012. In Prince Rupert, the 261 properties that changed hands in 2013 were worth $55 million compared with 160 properties worth $26.9 million in 2012. These figures from all three of the Northwestâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most populous towns roughly mirror the recent property values released by B.C. Assessments. The board reported a total of 4,891 property sales in the northern region worth $1.2 billion in 2013, up from last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 4,696 sales worth

Up, up and awayâ&#x20AC;Ś

$1.08 billion. The northern region includes cities along Hwy16 north of Williams Lake to Fort Nelson and west along Hwy16. Northern Real Estate Board president Gisela Janzen said in a release that sales in the Northwest region were highest this year compared to other northern regions, and that overall sales in the north rose by four per cent, continuing an upwards trend for the fourth straight year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Markets in the Northwest region performed extremely well, mostly driven by large economic projects and developments,â&#x20AC;? said Janzen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Markets in the southern region remained largely unchanged from the previous year mainly due to a poorly performing labour market,â&#x20AC;? Janzen added of other regions.

Ruth Marie (McKenzie) Mangnus April 14, 1935 - December 22, 2013

With heavy hearts we announce the passing of our mother Ruth Marie (McKenzie) Mangnus on December 22, 2013. Survived by her three daughters Suzy (Andy), Dawn (Paul) and Cindy (Armando), her five grandsons, Kalen, Lucas, Benjamin, Joshua and Aquiles and her only great grandson, Brayden. We miss you terribly already Mom and hope we inherited just a little of the strength and independence you were so well known to possess. We take peace in the knowledge that your spirit is now free of the pain you endured for so many years. We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to all the staff at Terrace View Lodge for the gentle, professional care provided to Mom in her final days. A private celebration of life will be arranged at a future date and we ask that in lieu of flowers, donations to the Salvation Army would be appreciated.

Dawn (Sanou) Keeler February 3, 1976 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; November 29, 2013

In the early morning hours of November 29, 2013, our beloved Dawn was gathered to her heavenly Fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s arms. She is pre-deceased by her grandparents, her aunt Sheila Dermody and her motherin-law Patricia Keeler. She is survived by her loving husband Scott, young daughters Catie and Jessica, her best friend Korri Mahoney whom she called her sister and who provided care to Dawn for many months, her mother Sharon (Gordon) Hand, father Hans (Margaret) Sanou, half siblings - sister Kelly (Tim) Bartlett, and brother Noel (Korrina) Jervis, father-in-law Garth Keeler, sister-in-law Alison (Corey) Daly and various aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews and many friends. Dawn was born and raised in Kitimat and graduated from MESS is 1994. She lived her adult life in Cranbrook, BC except for seven years in Claresholm, Alberta. Dawn always loved caring for people as evidenced by her choice of profession - nursing. Even after her illness prevented her from working, she continued to find new ways to care for and bring joy to other peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lives. This included even using her illness to intentionally bring people together. Part of Dawnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s legacy will be the relationships that were forged because of her willingness to share her journey with others. Although cancer took her from us, she didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t lose the battle. With every new diagnosis she found something to celebrate and taught many of us to do the same. A celebration of her life and the life she brought to others was held at the Key City Theatre in Cranbrook on December 7. Those who wish to may contribute memorial donations to a trust fund for Dawnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s daughters at East Kootenay Credit Union, 920 Baker St., Cranbrook, BC V1C 1A5.

Jan Picucha

July 15, 1921 - December 19, 2013 At 6:00pm on December 19, 2013 Jan very quietly left us to be with his beloved daughter Lydia, pre-deceased on December 18, 2006. Jan is survived by his wonderful wife of 60 years. Barbara and his son Stefan (Carolyn). Jan passed away with grace and dignity, with his family by his side, in the Misericordia General Hospital, Edmonton, Alberta, after a short illness. Jan came to Canada, along with a group of his military collegues, at the conclusion of World War II, working and living in various locations in Western Canada, such as Wartime, Indian-Head and Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Edmonton and Calgary Alberta, then moving to a small coalmining community high in the Alberta Rocky Mountains, Mercoal, Alberta, where he met, fell in love with and married his best friend and eternal soul mate, Barbara, who he always called â&#x20AC;&#x153;Baskaâ&#x20AC;?. Soon after, their daughter Lydia was born and later their son Stefan. Jan, Barbara and family moved to Kitimat, BC in 1959, along with a healthy contingent of residents from Mercoal, to become a part of a new, vibrant and thriving community of which they all were a large part of for nearly 50 years. Jan and Barbara relocated to Nanaimo, BC in the Summer of 2006 to be with their daughter Lydia. While living in Kitimat, Jan worked in the machine shop, maintenance division at Alcan Aluminum Co. for many years before moving on to work for Eurocan Pulp and Paper Co, also in the machine shop. He then became Supervisor in Eurocanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s machine shop for many years before eventually retiring to enjoy the finer things in life. An avid member of the Kitimat Rod and Gun Club, Jan could be found most Saturday mornings down at the clubhouse with Lydia and Stefan. Jan absolutely loved the outdoors, camping, hunting and fishing. Many of Kitimatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s youth benefitted from his experience and teaching at the rifle range. Jan became a member of the Kitimat Masonic Lodge No. 169 and the Kitimat Preceptory of Royal Arch Masons as well as becoming a Shriner and member of the Kitimat Royal Canadian Legion. Janâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s loves and passions included all the time spent with his family members and multitude of friends. Another of Janâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s passions was to exhibit the fine hospitality and warmness of friendship to anyone and everyone who visited and was welcomed into their home. This is where his Polish and Russian heritage surfaced and flourished. These passions all stayed with him to his final moments. Barbara and Stefan would like to sincerely thank all Janâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dear friends and co-workers for their out-pouring of condolences and best wishes. They would also ask that everyone honour Janâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s last wish to enjoy â&#x20AC;&#x153;one more good oneâ&#x20AC;? in his memory. As per Janâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wishes â&#x20AC;&#x153;to keep things simpleâ&#x20AC;? there was no funeral or ceremony.

Atchison, Lawrence Anton (Ouchy) June 30, 1942 - January 5, 2014 Born June 30, 1942 in Prince Rupert, B.C. to Harvey and Marjorie. Ouchy left us unexpectedly on January 5, 2014. He grew up in various coastal communities as his family â&#x20AC;&#x153;chased the fishâ&#x20AC;? but Prince Rupert was always his home. He married his high school sweetheart, Wendy, in 1964, and then purchased the second love of his life, the Miss Cory, on which he fished until his retirement. With Wendy and their three children, Cory, Chris and Roger, and their families, he shared his work ethic (commercial fishing); love of sport (curling and his Montreal Canadiens); and family time in Disneyland, Maui, and Lakelse. He greatly appreciated his daily escapades with the boys of the Breakers Coffee Club that brought endless stories of laughter. Much loved, Ouchy will be sadly missed by his wife, Wendy; children, Cory (Gary) McLaughlin (Liam and Calleigh), Chris (Tracey) Atchison (Hunter and Quinn), Roger (Teresa) Atchison (Marcus, Cole, Renae and Halle); sister, Hazel (Wayne) Holliston (Darren and Wendy); mother-in-law, Johanna Christensen; and sister-in-law, Judy (Duncan) Irvine. A celebration of Ouchyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life will be held on Saturday, January 11, 2014 from 2 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 5pm at Breakers Pub. The family would like to thank Judy Rea and Jennifer Nelson at the Prince Rupert Cancer Clinic for all of their support and care of Ouchy.

Terrace River Kings sweep Rampage By Shaun Thomas

THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - The Prince Rupert Rampage met the white hot Terrace River Kings on Friday night as they looked to build momentum leading into the CIHL playoffs. The Rampage wasted no time in bringing the crowd to their feet as Kory Movold carried the puck in close and buried a backhander five-hole just 2:25 into the game. 61 seconds later, Thomas Robinson picked up a loose puck in front and poked it past Terrace netminder Garrett Muir to make it 2-0 for Prince Rupert. Terrace responded with 12:35 to play as Derek Jurista put a backhander under the glove of Warren Hansen to pull the River Kings to within one. After the goal, the Rampage controlled play in the offensive zone but were unable to capitalize. Things got exciting with six minutes to play as Greg Sheppard was stopped on a breakaway and Josh Murray was pulled down going in alone the other way and was awarded a penalty shot, which he shot wide. In the dying minutes it was the goalies’ time to shine as Muir made some great saves from his back with 90 seconds on the clock and Hansen made a two-onone save with 10 seconds left to keep things at 2-1. Some rough stuff after the whistle and a bench minor would give Terrace 5-on-3 advantage to start the second, but the Rampage took a one goal lead into the dressing room. The Terrace 5-on-3 resulted in a breakaway goal — for the shorthanded Rampage. After sweeping away the puck, Devin Palmer went in alone and, after cutting across

Refreshing… CAMERON ORR/ THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

KITIMAT Volunteers in Kitamaat Village hosted a Polar Bear Swim on New Years Day, continuing the tradition of the ‘cleansing’ new year’s bath in the frigid cold waters of the Douglas Channel, this time at the Kitamaat Village marina. Trevor Amos headed up organizing of the event, which drew out about 10 ‘dippers’.

The extra five minutes of fouron-four didn’t resolve anything and the two goaltenders prepared for what would prove to be a lengthy shootout. Both Jurista and Meers were stopped in the first round, while Hansen shut down Jurista and Movold put one under the blocker of Muir in the second. In the third round, Terrace captain Steve Cullis went low glove side on Hansen to keep the River Kings alive and Muir shut the door on Kendal Stace-Smith, meaning an extra set of shootouts was needed. In the fourth round, William Fisher went low stick side on Hansen and Jordan Weir put one through the pads of Muir. In the fifth round, Jeremy Van Den Broek went low stick side on Hansen while Muir shut down Josh Kierce of the Rampage to give Terrace the 6-5 win. The next day, the Rampage travelled to Terrace for a rematch. The game started once more with a Rampage goal as Kierce put one past Muir with 7:46 to play, but Jurista put one past Devin Gerrits with 9:51 to play to tie things up at one going into the second. The River Kings quickly took the lead in the second as Calen Findlay found the back of the net just 51 seconds into the period on the powerplay. Just over eight minutes in, Cullis extended the River Kings’ lead, and the Rampage went into the final frame trailing 3-1. Terrace’s Lee Muir put the game almost out of reach with 13:33 to go with the team’s fourth goal, but the Rampage went out on a high note as Craig Munro beat Muir on the powerplay with 3:05 left to narrow the gap. When the buzzer sounded, the River Kings completed the sweep with a 4-2 victory.

Hamhuis, Luongo named to Canada Olympic hockey team By Kolby Solinsky

THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

VANCOUVER - The Vancouver Canucks are sending two players to Sochi on board Canada’s Olympic men’s hockey team: goaltender Roberto Luongo and Dan Hamhuis. They joined 23 other players on the 2014 roster, which was announced by a collection of Hockey Canada executives, coaches, and personnel on Tuesday morning from Toronto, Ontario. Other B.C. players who made the team include Anahim Lake’s Carey Price, Penticton’s Duncan Keith, Sicamous’s Shea Weber, and Victoria’s Jamie Benn. Hamhuis is also from Smithers, B.C. The full roster is as follows:

Goalies are Rorerto Luongo, Carey Price, Mike Smith. Defencemen are Jay Bouwmeester, Drew Doughty, Dan Hamhuis, Duncan Keith, Alex Pietrangelo, PK Subban, Marc-Edouard Vlasic, Shea Weber. Forwards are Jamie Benn, Patrice Bergeron, Jeff Carter, Sidney Crosby, Matt Duchene, Ryan Getzlaf, Chris Kunitz, Patrick Marleau, Rick Nash, Corey Perry, Patrick Sharp, Steven Stamkos, John Travares, Jonathan Toews Notable exceptions include 2010 gold medalists Joe Thornton, Dan Boyle, and Eric Staal, Tampa Bay Lightning forward and the NHL’s reigning Art Ross Trophiy winner Martin St. Louis, San Jose’s Logan Couture (currently injured), Philadelphia’s Claude Giroux, and

Pittsburgh Penguins players Kris Letang, Marc-Andre Fleury, and James Neal. Also not making the team were Tsawwassen’s Brent Seabrook – who won a gold medal with Canada in 2010 and has won two Stanley Cups – and East Vancouver’s Milan Lucic, who won a Stanley Cup in 2011 with the Boston Bruins and is an everyday linemate of returning Olympian Patrice Bergeron. Stamkos was named to Team Canada, despite suffering a broken leg in early November. Stamkos is slated to return in late January and has begun skating. Canada’s first game will be against Team Norway on Feb. 13, 2014 in Sochi. They will also play Austria and Finland their Pool B preliminary action.
