Son charged in father’s death By Margaret Speirs THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
TERRACE - A man charged in connection with the second degree murder of his father will remain in jail at least until early next week. Jeremy Price, 19, had his case adjourned to a later date for a bail hearing after he appeared in person in Terrace provincial
court April 1. The courtroom was packed with close to 30 people in what was scheduled to be a bail hearing but was put over to give newly retained defence lawyer Suzette Narbonne time to review the case and speak to her client. On March 29, Terrace RCMP reported that they, along with the North District Crime Unit, were
investigating a sudden death in Terrace. Police and other emergency vehicles descended on the 4600 Block of Goulet on the city southside. A police vehicle remained in front of 4632 Goulet Ave. in the early evening hours and yellow police tape cordoned off the front yard of the residence. The following day, police
identified the victim as Clifford Price, 50, and said that his son Jeremy had been charged with one count of manslaughter. The charge was later changed to second degree murder. Police vehicles and yellow police tape remained at the site through March 31. Jeremy Price is scheduled to appear in court again April 8.

Kitimat mall hotel still in the works KITIMAT - By the end of this year the City Centre Mall should have its new restaurant open, anchored to the planned hotel which should be ready 12 months after construction begins. Mall owner Jerry Minni showed the Sentinel the plans for the building and some of the floor plans last week, following his company receiving the development permit which sets conditions for how the building will look. He just needs a construction permit now but he said it’s all lining up to begin building this spring. It will only be about two weeks, he anticipates, to get the construction permit and to put the project out to tender. The hotel will be built between the breezeway where the Salvation Army store was, to where the video store was. It will be a two storey hotel — three floors
when you include the ground floor where a restaurant will be built — which is short of Minni’s original vision. “The design is a little different than the first design we came up with but we sort of jumped the gun a little in the sense that the footings here would only support so much weight,” he said. Any possible construction was also delayed last year because the mall’s original engineering plans were lost to time, meaning extra work had to be done to figure out how much the existing structures could support. But the new restaurant should be ready to go by the time the year turns to 2015. “We’re trying to push to get the roof on, the [restaurant] open by December 31 this year, and then we’ll continue on the inside of the rooms.” Minni purchased the City Centre Mall in 2006, and had ideas from the start to build a
hotel. He said he began considering the land where Tim Hortons is now for his hotel, but then decided to build it over the existing mall. His entire plan for City Centre will cover two phases. By early to mid next year the hotel will be complete, ending phase one. Phase two will be an upgrade to the mall itself, inside and outside, and modernizing its look, similar in a way to how Terrace’s mall was recently renovated. Minni is still sure that the town is in need for more hotel space. “There’s not a lot of vacancy in Kitimat so I think there’s definitely room for this product,” he said. He believes his development will be a welcome change to Kitimat’s downtown. “Kitimat’s not had a lot of development of this nature in probably 20 years. So it’ll be a nice new fresh look to the downtown core,” he said.
Train traffic turns 100 TERRACE - A community party noting the 100th anniversary of train traffic through Terrace is to take place April 13. Organized by the city’s 100th anniversary celebration committee, the event takes place in front of the George Little House at the foot of Kalum St. The actual first date a train belonging to the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway passed through Terrace from the east to Prince Rupert is April 9, 1914. There’s going to be music, food from the Salvation Army’s mobile kitchen and a large 100th anniversary cake. “We’re going to close off the cul-desac right in front of the George Little House

Pacific NorthWest LNG provides update ahead of open houses By Shaun Thomas THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
PRINCE RUPERT - With the environmental assessment documentation filed, Pacific NorthWest LNG wants people to know how important the open houses scheduled for early next week truly are. The meetings, which will be held on Monday from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the Port Edward Community Centre and Tuesday from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the North Coast Convention Centre, are unlike others the company has held before. “The public involvement to date, the open houses we have had, we have been talking about things we should study and things we need to study ... previous open houses talked about what we might want to look at, this one is talking about what we have done, what we are proposing to do, what the project is and all of the components. It’s what we have done to avoid,
what we have done to mitigate and, where we can’t mitigate, what we have done to offset or compensate,” explained environmental advisor Brian Clark. “Public input is pretty critical. Some have said ‘you submitted, that is it’. No, this is where the public involvement is really important. It is critical the public get in because it is their island, their air and their marine environment.” The filing is for a natural gas liquefaction facility capable of producing 19.2 million tonnes of LNG per year, complete with three LNG storage tanks capable of holding 180,000 cubic metres of LNG, three LNG trains capable of producing 6.4 million tonnes per year, a 2.7 kilometre trestle leading
to the loading berths and gas turbines that produce up to 1,100 Megawatts of electrical power. The terminal would operate 24 hours per day, 365 days per year. Another component of the application is the creation of a for construction Brian Clark camp workers, which Clark said will provide some amenities while also encouraging people to make their way into the community to support local business. “The camp is on the island and it is being designed for 3,000 to 4,000 people. Some will be there that we feel would be too much of a load on local infrastructure, things like junior medical staff and paramedics. But things like laundry, things like recreating, all that will happen in the community,” he
“This is where the public involvement is really important.”
said. “We have heard from Prince Rupert and Port Edward that they want these workers out in their community spending their time and money.” As for concerns about fishing vessels and recreational boaters having access to Porpoise Harbour blocked due to movement of the LNG tankers, Clark said that is not the case. “It is about 30 minute process of the ships coming in and turning around, but that whole time there is no navigational shutdown at all ... if there is another big vessel in the area, those two will stay a certain distance apart by command of the pilot. But there is no restriction on the commercial or recreational passage into Porpoise Harbour,” he said, noting there may be a space restriction around the vessel while it is loading. “There are some people in the commercial fishing industry who
heard a rumour, but there is no restriction at all.” Another concern Clark clarified relates to the flare stack, which he said most people won’t see flare up. “It will be used on an emergency basis, which hopefully is never, and for maintenance reasons it should be blown off several times per year. When that happens there will be notices sent out to the lcoal community saying when it will happen,” he said, noting the flare stack was placed at the south end of the island so it is far from the community. “There will be a pilot on the whole time, but our technology doesn’t require it to be flaring. That is just so that if there is an emergency, you don’t have to run and turn the pilot on ... the pilot light is inside the pipe. You will see a small flame, but it’s not like the candles they have in the Northeast at the drill sites.”

Harcourt rejects party
A5
By Tom Fletcher
THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
VICTORIA - Former premier Mike Harcourt’s disenchantment with the NDP is a sign of the challenge ahead for the party after last year’s election loss, leadership candidates John Horgan and Mike Farnworth said Tuesday. Harcourt has let his party membership lapse and gave several interviews this week to express his disappointment with the NDP’s performance in the 2013 election. Harcourt told the <I>Globe and Mail</I> he is not sure if his decision to quit the party is “a trial separation or a decree absolute,” but he won’t be voting in the leadership contest in September. Horgan said he has spoken with Harcourt in recent weeks about the party’s standing in rural B.C., particularly after leader Adrian Dix’s mid-campaign decision to oppose the expansion of the TransMountain oil pipeline from northern Alberta to Burnaby. “The message it sends to me is that I have a lot of work to do,”

Mike Harcourt endorses Mike Farnworth for the B.C. NDP leadership in 2011. Horgan said. “I have a lot of work to convince Mike Harcourt and other New Democrats and all British Columbians that there’s a better way for us to proceed, a balanced approach to the economy and the environment.” Harcourt, the former Vancouver mayor who served as premier from 1991 to 1996, endorsed Farnworth in the 2011 leadership campaign. Farnworth said Tuesday he agrees with Harcourt’s criticism, and the struggle to balance resource develop-

ment with environmental concern has a long history in the NDP. It was Harcourt who faced the “war in the woods” in the 1990s over coastal logging and came up with land use plans that still serve B.C. today, he said. “I think Mike is saying what he thought, and it’s reflective of the comments we heard after the election last May,” Farnworth said. NDP members vote this fall on their choice to succeed Dix, with results to be revealed Sept. 28.

KITIMAT - In 2012 it was a nautical trip through the Great Bear Rainforest, a firsthand look at the area where tankers are proposed to come and go to support industry, in this case namely the Enbridge Northern Gateway project. Today, that trip has earned writer and journalist Arno Kopecky a Hubert Evans Non-Fiction BC Book Prize nomination. Kopecky was in Kitimat last weekend on a book tour promoting his book, The Oilman and the Sea: Navigating the Northern Gateway. He said he was motivated to take on the project of the tour in 2012 because he felt the people who actually lived in the Great Bear Rainforest region were not being represented in the media when people were talking about projects like Northern Gateway. “There’s no roads, one or two airports...so it just seemed like it was this big blank spot on the map of the Northern Gateway debate,” he said. But Northern Gateway was, in his words, a plot device to shine a light on the geographic area. “I was trying to tell a great story as well and I
find that I’ve fallen into a bit of an activist advocate role here with this book, which I’m happy to take on because I do feel strongly about this issue but I also take some pride in being a writer who can tell a good story.” He said he’s pleased with the award nomination for his book which validates his writing. “The people who give these awards, I don’t think they’re out to validate any particular set of politics. They don’t care for Northern Gateway per sé, they like good stories and they like good literature. Hopefully this award will help me be taken a bit seriously as a writer,” he said. Kopecky said he planned to also take the opportunity of his visit to apologize to anyone who might have taken an issue with the way they were portrayed in his book. Some First Nations members, he said, were apparently unhappy with his portrayal of them. “It was certainly not my intention. I did my best to paint First Nations in a sympathetic light that was also honest. I do believe that came across but I also know what it’s like to be written about, that you are defenceless as the subject of a book.” The book includes the photography of Ilja Herb, who accompanied Kopecky on the original trip.

Ownership of Watson Island is once again before the courts.
WatCo files suit against City of Prince Rupert By Shaun Thomas THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
PRINCE RUPERT - The City of Prince Rupert will once again be heading to court over Watson Island, but this time it is the Watson Island Development Corporation (WatCo) that has filed suit against the city. Court documents filed by WatCo allege the City of Prince Rupert broke a verbal agreement with the company by seeking another purchaser for the site. Worse yet, the filing claims, is the decision was made after WatCo had paid the city approximately $2 million for exclusivity rights in relation to the purchase of the former pulp mill site, including a $90,000 payment the previous month, and paid legal and other expenses in reaching a settlement with Sun Wave Forest Products. “The Defendant Prince Rupert unlawfully interfered with the economic interests of the Plaintiff WatCo by intentionally inducing WatCo to make payments to provide continued exclusivity to the Defendant Prince Rupert when the Defendant Prince Rupert had determined that they would breach their agreement with the Plaintiff WatCo in order to seek other purchasers who might be willing to pay a higher price than the Plaintiff WatCo, none of whom were entitled to deal with the Defendant Prince Rupert by virtue of the terms of the oral exclusivity agreement,” wrote WatCo in the filing, which also claims the city increased the sale price of the site from the agreed upon $5 million to $5.7 million. The issue surrounding the agreement first arose on Feb. 12 when WatCo alleges the city told them, retroactive to Feb. 1, any negotiations would be continuing on a non-exclusive basis and that the term sheet both had previously agreed to would no longer be acceptable. That same day the city offered the company terms by which it was prepared to conclude a deal with WatCo, terms WatCo accepted and used to form

a new term sheet that was delivered to the city. However, WatCo alleges the city “has failed or refused to execute the term sheet”. WatCo said it provided an executed copy of an option agreement on the site on Feb. 25, but the city has failed or refused to execute the option agreement. “WatCo remains ready, willing and able to complete the purchase of the Watson Island property ... the Plaintiff WatCo demanded that the Defendant Prince Rupert complete the purchase and sale of the Watson Island property. The Defendant has refused or neglected to do so,” reads the filing. “The acts of the Defendant Prince Rupert were deliberate, with the knowledge that they were inconsistent with its contractual obligations, and with knowledge of reckless indifference to the fact that its conduct would injure the Plaintiff WatCo.” WatCo is now seeking “performance of the option agreement to obtain the conveyance of the Watson Island property” to the company. If that is not accepted, the company is seeking damages in lieu or a ruling that “the Watson Island property is held in trust by the Defendant Prince Rupert for the benefit of the Plaintiff WatCo”. As well, WatCo has filed a Certificate of Pending Litigation on the site and is seeking an injunction to prevent the city from entering into any agreements with other parties or otherwise disposing of Watson Island. Prince Rupert Mayor Jack Mussallem said he would not comment on the filing as he does not comment on matters before the court, but said Watson Island is very much top of mind for the city. “It is city council’s number one priority for the strategic plan for 2014 to get Watson Island back on the tax roll and creating employment for people in the region,” he said.

Prince Rupert continues to be hotspot for Kaijudo players Contributed THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
PRINCE RUPERT - Prince Rupert’s Good Times Games continues to be recognized globally as the “promised land” for its Kaijudo Collectable Card Game. This past weekend the shop hosted its third Kaijudo Master Challenge, an honor awarded to only one other store in North America to date. Again the little shop on the North Coast came up big, breaking its own record for KMC attendance. “It is crazy to think that Prince Rupert is known as the best place to play Kaijudo in the world” men-
tioned Good Times co-owner Rob Gruber. The shop had players come all the way from New York, Seattle and Victoria BC to play in the KMC Qualifier this time out. “People just want to play here, why play at an average location when you can make it a journey, and come here to play at North America’s best location” Gruber commented. The event drew 84 registered players, of which 79 played through seven rounds of head to head competition, then cut to a top 8 finals. In the end it was local player Kevin Winther who ended up claiming the top spot, and his brother, Tyler Winther

In questioning councillors on the specifics, Douglas Channel Watch representative Murray Minchin said the Canadian citizenship requirement is beneficial to some in Kitimat. He said there are many people in town who do not have a Canadian citizenship but who’d be allowed to vote this time. They discov-

KITIMAT - The upcoming plebiscite for Kitimatians to decide whether or not they accept the Joint Review Panel’s 209 conditions for the proposed Northern Gateway Pipelines proposal will be slightly relaxed from how an official election is conducted. The differences between a real election and this plebiscite comes down to the fact that you have to have been a
ered that when they had gone door-to-door. As for how voting will play out, the District of Kitimat’s returning officers will have a voter list of residents and you will sign your name on the form to prove you had voted. Deputy Municipal Clerk Shirley Boudreault explained the process at the March 24 committee of the whole meeting. In the case you’re not on a voters list, you’ll have to
produce identification showing that you have a primary address in Kitimat. An address showing you live in a work camp will not satisfy the requirements of Kitimat being a permanent residence. In the absence of any identification, potential voters will be asked a series of questions to determine their eligibility. Chief Administrative Officer Ron Poole admitted that there is always a potential for some people to commit voter
fraud, but much in the same way the same opportunity exists in municipal and provincial elections. There is an element of trust that comes into play. During the count of the ballots, scrutineers have been appointed to watch over the process. An invitation to the community was made for the positions, and three people representing the “yes” vote to the question came forward immediately. Boudreault said that the
District went to people who were known to represent the “no” vote and invited them to apply to be scrutineers as well, to ensure both sides were represented. Six scrutineers have now been appointed in total, three representing each side of the vote. April 9 will be the next advance poll, at the Tamitik sports complex. Itwill run from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. The main voting day is April 12.

B.C. signs on for federal training program By Tom Fletcher
THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
OTTAWA - B.C. has signed on to the federal government’s program to match skills training with employers’ needs, after negotiations to maintain most of the existing programs to assist older and disadvantaged people. B.C. Jobs Minister Shirley Bond signed onto the Canada Job Grant program in Ottawa Monday, as provinces and territories agreed to a program that requires employers to put up a third of training
costs. Once the program takes effect, the federal share will be up to $10,000 per trainee with another $5,000 from a sponsoring employer. Federal Employment Minister Kenney said the new program will address the need for thousands of skilled workers to develop liquefied natural gas plants, pipelines and other projects in B.C. There is no general labour shortage in Canada, but the $900 million a year the federal government spends on post-secondary training needs to match up better
with the available jobs, he said. “So we need to reengineer our education system,” Kenney said. “B.C. has taken the lead on this, to prepare young people for the jobs of the future, to educate them for the labour market.” The agreement means B.C. will use 40% of Ottawa’s $65 million annual skills training transfer for the new program. “We very much support the concept of employer-led and driven employment programs, and I think that’s actually where we ended
up with the Canada Job Grant file,” Bond said. B.C. objected to the program initially, because it would have taken federal money away from existing training programs for disadvantaged groups. Kenney said the amended deal allows 90 per cent of B.C.’s training programs to carry on. One of those is a 2007 federal-provincial program for workers aged 55 to 64 in communities with fewer than 250,000 people that have high unemployment or closure of employers.

ment is unacceptable – Austin represents some communities in the northwest that have 50 per cent unemployment rates or more – and yet, planeloads of outside workers are coming in to fill jobs that local people haven’t been trained for, he said. “The single biggest thing we could do to send a strong message to the LNG industry that we are open for business would be to immediately begin providing low-barrier opportunities to underemployed and unemployed workers in the northwest, to improve their skills,” he said.

PET OF THE WEEK
VICTORIA - Skeena NDP MLA Robin Austin gave a private member’s statement on the need for skills training as soon as possible in the BC legislature today, March 31. Although the “bedrock” of building a new industry in the province is a skilled workforce, Northwest Community College, which should be the centre of skills training for all of the proposed projects “has been woefully under-resourced for a number of years now,” said Austin. Colleges have not received enough money for operating costs and now they’re being asked to cut their budgets. “I suspect the government speaker on this topic will talk mightily about capital funding, but it needs to be understood that buildings don’t train workers. Instructors train workers, and even they can’t do that without prosaic things like heat and electricity, which is why the $40 million in cuts to B.C. colleges and universities are so concerning,” he said. The rate of unemployment and underemploy-

HI THERE! We are two talkative fellows who love each other very much. When separated we become very anxious and sad so we would like to find a home together. We call out to each other when separated to let the other know we are OK. Both of us are approximately 5-7 years of age. Neither of us tolerate young humans but we are comfortable with cats and dogs in our presence as long as they respect us. Patience and time will win our love. It might take months for us to warm up to you. But we are willing to provide up to 15 years of companionship in exchange!

B.C. not ready for major quake By Martina Perry THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
PRINCE RUPERT - A government report released on March 24 states that B.C. is simply not ready for a major earthquake. B.C. auditor general Russ Jones penned Catastrophic Earthquake Preparedness, which found that Emergency Management BC (EMBC), the organization responsible for emergency response in the province, isn’t prepared for a disastrous earthquake. The audit also found the province and EMBC haven’t made preparing for a quake a priority. A similar conclusion was made by the same office in a 1997 report on emergency management, with Jones claiming EMBC has not made significant progress since. EMBC’s operating budget for emergency activities is currently approximately $6.2 million, the same amount provided to PEP in 2006. “Successive governments have decided to allocate scarce public resources to meet more immediate pressing demands, rather than to adequately prepare the province for a catastrophic earthquake that may or may not occurs,” said Jones. “EMBC staff is busy with daily emergencies such as floods and fires, so catastrophic earthquake planning is done as a side-of-desk activity.” The report outlines several areas in need of improvement in EMBC’s preparedness, from risk analysis, to training and public education and from plans and procedures to integration of stakeholders. The report states that EMBC is lacking critical positions, such as a logistics planner, which constrains the organization’s ability to deliver on its catastrophic earthquake mandate. “EMBC could improve its catastrophic earthquake planning by applying a more rigorous management framework to identify and help achieve its desired results,” reads the report. The report recommended the provincial government develop long-term goals for earthquake preparedness, and ensure EMBC has the capacity to address gaps. It advised EMBC to develop a strategic plan to meet the province’s goals, as well as identify, rank and prioritize its own plans to make sure it’s prepared for the big one. The report also suggested EMBC review its earthquake program to determine gaps and risks to come up with actions to address them. Other recommendations include how EMBC should work with stakeholders in reviewing and evaluating their emergency plans and conducting exercises to ensure they can deliver proper response. The final recommendation in the audit was to report on the state of catastrophic earthquake preparedness annually. Unlike many British Columbia communities, Prince Rupert was prepared during the October 2012 and January 2013 earthquakes and follow-
ing tsunami scares. Fire chief Dave Mckenzie, who is responsible for Prince Rupert’s emergency plan, didn’t wait to hear from the provincial government or EMBC before putting the plan into action. Mckenzie said the report will help other British Columbian communities be as prepared as Prince Rupert for major earthquakes. “The government recognizes there is a problem and is trying to resolve how to deal with it to get prepared,” he said. “It’s a step in the right direction. Earthquakes aren’t going away, so it’s a good thing the government is stepping up to the plate to make people more aware.” The B.C. government will take immediate action on all of the recommendations, with EMBC already developing a long-term plan that sets provincial goals and a phased approach to achieving them. “A tough report offers a great opportunity and this one in particular will help us continue to identify what work needs to be done to best prepare B.C. communities and families for a major earthquake,” said Suzanne Anton, attorney general and minister of justice. Mckenzie said people need to be ready to be self-sufficient for 72 hours in case of a major earthquake, and should have food, beverages, clothing, cash, batteries and other items in an earthquake kit.

Rupert condo plans moving ahead By Shaun Tomas
northwest
InnovatIon Challenge
THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
PRINCE RUPERT - Prince Rupert Living Concepts is one step closer to making its proposed condominium development at the end of Graham Ave. a reality after council voted to rezone the necessary land. However, those living in the area do have concerns about what the threestory, 11 unit complex means for Atlin and Graham Ave. In speaking to council during the public hearing on the matter, city planner Zeno Krekic said he had one person very opposed to the project due to traffic concerns and another opposed due to issues surrounding the impact to water pressure in the area, the sewer capacity of the area and influx of traffic. While Krekic said the engineering department had confirmed adequate water pressure and sewer capacity to support the additional housing, some of those sentiments were echoed by resident Helen Moore, who spoke with a number of her neighbours about the idea. “If the proposal was to go ahead, traffic is certainly the biggest concern ... some have suggested making Graham Ave. a 30 kilometre per hour zone, others thought there should be a stop sign at Van Arsdol and 17th Street and some have suggested speed bumps,” she told council, noting reaction to the proposal was mixed among those she spoke to. “If the proposal was to go through, either the city or the developer needs to be taken to task to ensure traffic safety is addressed.”

An artist rendering of the condominium complex planned for the end of Graham Ave. But with the condominiums proposed for seniors and those with disabilities, project manager Kevin Newton said he didn’t foresee much of an increase in the number of vehicles making their way up and down the street throughout the day. “The majority of seniors will go to one place and stay there because getting up and down and moving around a lot can be a challenge,” he said. “Going downtown and back four or five times per day is unlikely to happen with the seniors living there.” Prince Rupert Living Concepts still needs to apply for a subdivision permit, but a building permit associated with the site estimates the value of construction to be $5 million.

Terrace chamber board officially supports Enbridge
TERRACE - The board of the Terrace and District Chamber of Commerce says it now officially supports Enbridge’s planned Northern Gateway pipeline project. That’s after a small majority of chamber members who filled out an online survey about the pipeline project – 51.3 per cent – say they are in support. “The board is the voice of the members and we represent the members,” said chamber president Janice Shaben. Of those who took part in the
survey, 62.1 per cent feel the pipeline will benefit their business. The results come from a March 5 to March 19 online survey in which chamber members were asked 11 questions surrounding the Northern Gateway project. Of the nearly 290 members of the chamber, approximately one in seven – or approximately 40 members – filled out the survey, a chamber press release indicated March 27. The original plan was to only release the survey results if more than 50 per cent of cham-
ber members responded. But that changed after the chamber board was told the number of members who replied fulfilled a statistical requirement for a representative sample, she said. “We were told that the statistical sample was good.” From that, the board has now adopted the position that it supports the Northern Gateway project, she said. Shaben did add that the Northern Gateway project remains a challenging topic. “It’s such an emotional issue for so many people,” she said.
City prepares for work camps TERRACE - The city is preparing a bylaw amendment to allow for the housing of as many as 3,000 workers at the Skeena Industrial Development Park south of town. It will allow a company called Falcon Camp Services to set up a camp on industrial park land it has purchased from the Kitselas Development Corporation. The corporation, in turn, purchased the land from the city last month. The bylaw amendment, introduced March 24, alters the official community plan and several stipulations relating to the original heavy industrial zoning to allow for the work camp. Falcon Camp Services from Prince George would build a 200-400 person camp for workers on the Pacific Trails Pipeline that would carry natural gas to the planned Kitimat LNG (liquefied natural gas) plant at Kitimat. This first camp will be fully operational by June 30 and Pacific Trails has said it could need space for up to 1,500 to 3,000 workers at peak production and is negotiating the purchase of more land
from the Kitselas. Contained within the new bylaw are conditions for fees to be paid to the city if there are more than 500 people staying on the site. The fees start at $500 per person for numbers of workers above that 500 mark and the cost rises incrementally to a maximum of $1,000 per sleeping unit. Any extra money levied through these fees will go toward an affordable housing fund. Mayor David Pernarowski said that work camps will only be contained on the Kitselas-owned land and that council would not allow another work camp outside of this area. The land bought by the Kitselas corporation is across Hwy16 from the main industrial park area. Councillor Marylin Davies was the only council member to vote against the resolution. She said rezoning the industrial lands went against the original vision that the city had for the land with long term industrial development in mind. Councillor Brian Downie had

some concerns about the long time frame of the amendment as it will allow work camps in the industrial park for 20 years. Councillor Bruce Bidgood said he would only support the amendment with the assurance from staff in the form of a covenant that the time limit would be set as well as the relegation of camps to only the industrial park lands. “I worry about the precedentsetting nature of this bylaw,” said Bidgood. Before the changes are adopted, the amendments of the OCP and zoning bylaw still need to go to public hearing. Kitimat LNG does have environmental and regulatory approvals to start construction but an investment decision by its owners has yet to be made although one is expected later this year. Apache has, however, said it wants to sell some of its ownership position because of engineering and design costs which this year could reach $1 billion even without an investment decision being made.

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. If you have any questions, please contact BC Hydro stakeholder engagement: 1 866 647 3334 or send an email to stakeholderengagement@bchydro.com

City asks province to help with airport
A15
JRP Conditions ExPlainEd
By Shaun Thomas THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
PRINCE RUPERT The City of Prince Rupert will be pushing for the provincial government to take over maintenance of the airport access road, and possibly the ferry, but the Ministry of Transportation says it has no intention of doing so. The issue was brought forward at the March 24 council meeting by former mayor Don Scott, who said the province needs to be more involved as it is in other communities. “What, if anything, are staff and council doing to cover the cost of the ferry service? The province, I believe, has legislation saying access to airports is provincial jurisdiction,” he said. “Right now we’re taking responsibility, but it is theirs. Is there no legal steps we can take ... I think it is important to take another look at it. Others have their access taken care of while we do not.” Noting the province did provide money for the Tsimshian Peninsu-

The City of Prince Rupert will be asking the province to step in and help cover the costs of the Digby Island ferry. la Access Project, which would move the ferry terminal to the lower end of Digby Island and cut sailing time by approximately 10 minutes, Mayor Jack Mussallem said they have had a similar discussion with the government. “The province has disputed that ... they refuse to take any ownership of that road,” he said. In an email to the Northern View, Ministry of Transportation spokesperson Robert
Adam said all responsibility for the airport falls to the city. “The airport is a private facility owned and operated by the City of Prince Rupert through the Prince Rupert Airport Authority (PRAA),” he explained, noting past transactions also put the road in the city’s jurisdiction. “The 4.8 kilometre access road connecting Tobey point (ferry landing) to the airport was built under federal jurisdiction between 1957
and 1959, and began operating under the jurisdiction of Transport Canada in 1961 ... the airport was transferred from Transport Canada to the PRAA in 1997; the City of Prince Rupert owns the airport through the incorporation of the PRAA.” Regardless, council passed a motion to write the ministry a letter requesting they take over the road maintenance and potentially the cost of running the Digby Island ferry.

Richard passed away peacefully, comforted by his wife, on February 18, 2014 at the Grey Nuns Hospital in Edmonton, AB at the age of 73. Richard was born in Calgary Alberta on April 3, 1940 to Sarah Annie and John Cloakey of Black Diamond, Alberta. He grew up on the farm at Black Diamond with his brothers Robert and Larry. He worked mostly in Northern BC, mining asbestos, copper, coal and finally as owner of the Crooked Creek Store and Post Office in Alberta. Richard loved his many family pets, especially dogs Skye and Spinner, and Baby and Streak, the cats. He enjoyed wildlife and the outdoors all his life. Richard told many stories about living and working in Cassiar, Granisle, Kemano, and Tumbler Ridge, BC. Most of all he enjoyed time spent with family and his many friends. Richard was predeceased by his parents and brothers. Richard is survived by his wife Vickie and children Elizabeth (Gord Klassen), John (Vicki), Joyce, step-children David Neraasen (Stephanie) and Lisa Neraasen (Jose) and by his grandsons Ian, Alex, Ryan and Luke, his niece Lori and grandnephew TJ. Richard leaves many friends who will miss him, especially Dane and Ruby Mortensen, Ashley and Alyssa, his good buddy Paul Kyle and old friend Jim Penman. The family would like to express our thanks to the Doctors and Nurses of the ICU at the Grey Nuns Hospital in Edmonton for the care and kindness showed Richard and all of us during his time there. A celebration of Richard’s life is planned in July. Please contact the family for details.
March 20, 1947 to April 5, 2005
Eleanor ‘Ena’ Ekman June 17 1922 - March 23 2014
In the early hours of March 23rd our beloved Mom left her earthly life behind to go sing with the angels. Ena was born in Edmonton, England. In the 1940’s she joined the British Air Force where she met her husband Jack Ekman who was a member of the Canadian Armed Forces. They were married in 1945 in England after the war ended and Ena came to Canada as a war bride, travelling by boat and train to Telkwa where she was able to start a new life with Jack. She wasn’t quite prepared for life in their first home which was log cabin in the wilderness, especially after growing up in a big city, but she adapted and raised four children while in the Smithers area. Later Jack and Ena moved to Prince Rupert for work and then Quesnel, finally retiring to Nanaimo. After retirement they spent many summers camping in their fifth-wheel, going to visit family and friends. After Jack passed away, Ena moved back to Prince Rupert to be closer to family. Ena leaves behind a lifetime of cherished memories for her children Eric (Lindy) Ekman, Jackie (Dave) Wilson, Elaine (Larry) Lohnes, Christina (Gerry) Norton, her grandchildren Aaron and Jamie Ekman, Kristen Kerr, Rob Wilson, and Amie and Cara Norton, Dione Bree, and great grandchildren Evan Ford and Ty Bree. Ena was predeceased by her husband of 60 years, Jack, her sister Kathleen, and brothers Horace and John. Ena loved music and was known for her singing throughout the halls of Acropolis manor. When she would forget the words she would improvise with amazing results. We would like to thank the wonderful Acropolis staff and Dr. Tse for all the great care they provided for Mom. A heartfelt thank you to the staff that was with us during Mom’s last days. Your kindness and compassion and humorous stories of Mom were of great comfort. A graveside service will be held in Smithers in August when Ena’s ashes will be buried beside her beloved husband Jack.
As we hold you close in memory, Even though we are apart, Your spirit will live on there, Forever in our hearts.
We love and miss you always. Love, Your Family

“We have plans to build a safer, better pipeline. We also have plans to operate it that way.” Janet Holder, Leader of Northern Gateway
EXCEEDING EXPECTATIONS We are working on those conditions with the same diligence that we are applying to the tough conditions mandated by the Province. In many cases, these conditions reflect the world class voluntary land safety measures that Northern Gateway proposed during the Review process. A BETTER, SAFER PIPELINE Our land safety measures primarily focus on spill prevention. With new standards in pipeline design and integrity, construction, monitoring and project management, we want to build a better, safer pipeline. A RESPECTFUL ROUTE After a decade of planning, we have mapped out a pipeline route that will have as little
impact as possible on British Columbia’s terrain and neighbouring communities. In fact, 70% of the route utilizes previously disturbed lands, including old forestry roads, cut blocks and other disturbances. A WATCHFUL EYE We are equally committed to setting new standards when it comes to Emergency Preparedness and Response. In fact, JRP Conditions #174 and #175 require us to file separate emergency response plans for every 10-km section of pipe. That’s over 110 separate plans that include details covering specific habitat to protect. Our plans also include realistic training programs and exercises, staffing of all pump stations, 24/7 monitoring, advanced leak detection systems and more remotely-controlled isolation valves. We’re doing all this hard work because we are committed to developing the most sound, sensible and sensitive approach to designing, constructing and operating the Project.

Slubowski shines against NCAA’s best By Kevin Campbell
THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
PRINCE RUPERT - Ask Western Michigan Broncos’ goaltender Frank Slubowski what the biggest difference is playing in the team’s new higher-tiered NCAA division and his first answer isn’t the skill level. “Longer road trips,” the Rupertite sighed over the phone. Indeed, anyone who’s ever played minor and school sports can relate to Slubowski’s claustrophobic bus rides. Though the stiff competition does come to mind in NCAA’s Division 1, even if after the sore bottom. “I’d say it’s a lot more skill throughout the four lines,” said the third-year. “It’s a really competitive league.” Slubowski’s Broncos were elevated to the National Collegiate Hockey Conference (NCHC) after their old conference was disbanded thanks to a re-alignment of the divisions. WMU’s new NCHC division features the deadly University of North Dakota, which has won seven national championships, most recently in 2000. The division also hosts the University of Denver, the guilty culprits who eliminated the Broncos from playoff contention in 2014. That loss to the Denver Pioneers stung. “It was a tough one,” said Slubowski. “It was back and forth the whole game, and then the last goal that they scored late in the third (period) was tough. (The puck) took a bad bounce off a defenceman and it was kind of a breakaway there, so a bit of a heartbreaker.” Slubowski stopped 19 shots in that game, but it was timely scoring that propelled the Pi-

The Broncos finished tied for fourth in the NCHC with a 19-16-5 record. “I think some of the pre-season polls put us last in this conference so it was a big step for us to come out with the season we had even though we didn’t get the finish we wanted,” said Slubowski. Slubowski won 10 of those games, which was a drop off from last year, but last year the
goalie played every single game, which is extremely uncommon. “(Our other goalie) Lukas Hafner battled and worked hard all summer, so he deserved to play. And it’s good for a team to have to have two goalies who can go,” said Slubowski. “It’s only to our advantage.” Coached by the tenured Andy Murray, the veteran bench boss of 10 NHL seasons, Slubowski has thrived at WMU.
“I think I’ve always known I wanted to go the college route,” said Slubowski. “As a goalie, just playing more years of hockey will give me a better chance of playing pro hockey,” said Slubowski, who will look for an NHL contract this year while also returning to the North Coast. “I’ll probably go back home for a little break (this summer). The fishing’s better there.”

TERRACE - Clubs from all over the north west came to show off their martial art skills March 15 in Terrace, with Atlantis Taekwondo hosting its second northwest B.C. championships. Cody Skog, instructor of Atlantis Taekwondo, says he was very happy with the attendance and skill levels from all the clubs. “A big thank you to all the volunteers that made the tournament a success,” said Skog. The tournament started with a competition amongst the shadow warriors – three- to five-year-olds who are “hilarious and super awesome,” said Skog. The shadow warriors competed on a timed “death defying” obstacle course. After the shadow warriors, the tournament went into sparring and patterns from white to black belts of all ages. The tournaments largest division was teen red and black belts boys, and the matches were very exciting to watch, he said, noting he hopes
