Teachers rotate strikes
Cameron Orr and Tom Fletcher On Monday Kitimat’s teachers would have joined the rest of the Coast Mountain School District in a strike day, part of a rotating strike schedule outlined by the BC Teachers Federation. However that’s as far as Kitimat’s teachers could plan last week in a rapidly changing job action scene. Kitimat District Teachers Association (KDTA) President Kim Meyer said Friday that the local members were still trying to sort out the details from a letter outlin- “No more calls to parents, no ing lock-out details for the province’s teachers. more emails The partial lockout, home.” effective Monday, mirrors the B.C. Teachers’ Federation’s first stage of strike action, refusing student supervision outside classroom hours and communication with management. With rotating strikes beginning this week, the lockout is an attempt to bolster the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association case for cutting salaries by 10 per cent in response to the strike action. “As it stands I expect a lot of things to be affected. Field trips, I’m pretty sure we’re going to start cancelling those. In fact I think one got cancelled in Terrace today,” said Meyer. She said she wasn’t aware of any Kitimat field trips being cancelled. This week is Kitimat’s student awards night as well and unless it gets moved to a new location she said teachers won’t be attending that either. “We can’t attend those, we’re locked out, so we can’t be there.” Meyer said she was unsure what this week would bring as far as developments in the job action. BCTF president Jim Iker told a news conference Thursday the stop-work order will disrupt after-hours activities, including graduation ceremonies, which the union had sought to protect with the early stages of strike action. “No more calls to parents, no more emails home, it all comes to an end because of the lockout,” Iker said. BCPSEA administrator Michael Marchbank notified the union of the lockout terms in a letter delivered last Wednesday. The letter also confirmed that if no agreement is reached, secondary school teachers will be locked out June 25 and 26, and all BCTF members will be locked out June 27, the last day of the school year for most schools. Iker said the year-end lockout may disrupt year-end report cards and marking of provincial exams for graduating students. BCPSEA says the BCTF’s wage and benefit demands add up to 21.5 per cent over four years.

LNG Canada signs contractor Cameron Orr LNG Canada, the proposed liquefied natural gas export facility planned for Kitimat, has announced it has awarded its main contract to CFSW LNG Constructors. CFSW is a consortium composed of Chiyoda, Foster Wheeler, SAIPEM and WorleyParsons. The contract incorporates the front end engineering and design (FEED) as well as project execution. FEED studies will begin on June 1, the company says. LNG Canada CEO Andy Calitz still emphasizes that the announcement is not a final investment decision, which is still “some time away.” Representatives of LNG Canada and CFSW were on hand in Kitimat for
the official signing of the agreements on May 20. CFSW will lead the hiring of general contractors for the construction phase of the project as well. The minister of natural gas development in B.C., Rich Coleman, released a statement following the announcement that this recent decision “is great news, moving the province closer to a new LNG export facility and the company another step forward toward a final investment decision.” He continued that, “Developing an LNG industry will result in some of the largest private-sector investments in British Columbia’s history, and will produce new economic activity for our communities, creating thousands of jobs for British Columbians.”
Meanwhile Mayor Joanne Monaghan, who joined others at LNG Canada’s Kitimat announcement, said the announcement last Tuesday was historic. “It’s really nice that they made the announcement here in Kitimat because our community and our citizens are the ones who will be working with them,” she said. “So now we’re very glad that this step has happened, now we’re waiting for the final investment decision.” LNG Canada is a joint venture of Shell Canada, PetroChina, KOGAS and Mitsubishi. Earlier this month the partners officially incorporated LNG Canada into its own operating entity, LNG Canada Development Incorporate.
LNG proponents forge alliance Shaun Thomas Four of the largest liquefied natural gas proponents have come together to push for the export of B.C. gas to Asia. The B.C. LNG Developers Alliance, formed earlier this month, includes Lelu Island terminal developers Pacific North-
West LNG, Ridley Island LNG developers the BG Group, Shell-led LNG Canada and Chevron-led Kitimat LNG. Rod Maier, manager of external communications with Chevron Canada for LNG Canada, said the alliance is still very much in its infancy.
“We have been having discussions and have created a framework for the alliance ... we are still working out the details around governance and hiring staff, so we have not entirely gone live yet,” he said. Continued on page 2

Regional briefs Airport
A northern development agency is providing $250,000 to help pay for a third aircraft parking spot in front of the Northwest Regional Airport’s terminal building. “The addition of a third aircraft parking area will allow the airport to service three commercial aircraft at one time, also resulting in a reduction in the wait time for passengers in the terminal building,” a Northern Development Initiative Trust press release indicated today. The trust, which is financed through interest and investments stemming from the long-term lease of BC Rail track to CN, has helped finance other northern airport projects. The grant is being provided through the trust’s Economic Diversification Infrastructure program, which provides up to $250,000 to northern municipalities, regional districts, First Nations and non-profit organizations. Airport manager Carman Hendry said the project is expected to be completed by the end of October in time for the winter season. Traffic has been growing steadily at the airport over the past several years thanks to Rio Tinto Alcan’s smelter project in Kitimat, the construction of B.C. Hydro’s Northwest Transmission Line and other industrial developments. The actual cost of the apron is estimated at just under $1 million. It will consist of a thick concrete pad designed to hold the weight of commercial aircraft. The airport will realize some cost savings by crushing rock material found on its property.
Pockets open for studies The provincial government says it’s going to give northwestern B.C. local governments up to $1 million to handle growth pressures tied to industrial development. The money will flow in two equal streams – one to figure out what water, sewer, road and other projects are needed and the other to adapt land use and other associated bylaws as industrial expansion takes place. Local governments have been asking the provincial government for assistance for some time as the regional economy improves. Should any of the planned liquefied natural gas (LNG) projects proceed, the municipalities have said, there’s going to be increased pressure for services as more people and more businesses move into the area. Community, sport and cultural development minister Coralee Oakes made the announcement in Terrace. The $1 million commitment tops one of $150,000 made by Premier Christy Clark last fall. No final investment decisions have been made on any of the LNG projects being proposed in the region, but the cumulative level of spending and preparatory economic activity has increased the level of business activity, increased the cost of housing and made rentals more expensive and hard to find. Mayor Joanne Monaghan said that Kitimat will be applying for the funding and the town has already pegged what it will spend the money on. One half of the money at least will go towards upgrading Kitimat’s Official Community

Monaghan said many of the items in the plan are now obsolete and council continually has to address issues that are not covered by it. The other anticipated expenditure with the provincial money will be to update Kitimat’s Housing Resource Study. The first report was prepared in 2012 but continuing economic activity has understandably continued to alter the rental and real estate landscape in Kitimat. Monaghan said BC Housing has already been asking Kitimat to update their plan.

Kitimat still the most affordable in northern BC Cameron Orr The cost of owning a home in Kitimat has risen over last year but it is still the most affordable community in Northern B.C., according to a Housing Affordability Study released last week by the BC Northern Real Estate Board. The study shows that 21.5 per cent of a median household income goes toward financing home ownership in Kitimat. It’s the lowest percentage among northern communities. In Terrace the number is 29.8 per cent. The highest is in 100 Mile House, where it is 47.6 per cent. Although still the lowest, Kitimat’s figure does show an increase over 2013’s report. Based on 2012’s numbers, the BCNREB said last year that 17.9 per cent of median household income needed to go towards home ownership in town. That’s a 3.6 per cent rise in cost. Vancouver, by comparison, has its affordability index at 84.2 per cent, rising two per cent since the last report. “Despite price increases, home ownership in Kitimat continues to be the most affordable in the region at 21.5 per cent,” says the BCNREB report. “While 100 Mile House remains the least affordable...This difference stems from the respective
disparities in house prices and in median incomes of these two communities.” In 100 Mile House they say there are low reported incomes based on the 2006 census, coupled with high house prices. “The favourable index for Kitimat reflects low average house prices accompanied by the highest reported median income in the region, according to the 2006 census.” Earlier this year the BCNREB also issued their first quarter report for the year. That showed that 36 properties worth $10.4 million have been reported sold to the end of March 2014. Twenty-three of those 36 were single family homes, five were townhomes and two were vacant parcels. By the end of March there were 47 properties of all type for sale in Kitimat through the MLS service. Comparing to last year, the 36 sold properties is down from 2013’s 60 properties sold, but despite dropping by almost a half, the value of the sales actually increase this year. Those 60 properties accounted for $10.2 million worth of sale in 2013. There were fewer properties for sale at the end of March this year compared to last year when there were 51, according to the BCNREB report.
Bish Forestry Service Road (FSR) Chevron is continuing upgrading work on the Bish Forestry Service (FSR) that requires public access to the area be restricted in order to ensure public safety. This work is to flatten, straighten and widen the existing FSR to accommodate future traffic demands as the proposed Kitimat LNG project moves forward. • A 24-hour public safety and security checkpoint has been set up along the FSR to inform the public about access restrictions. • Access restrictions are in place during construction activity such as blasting as well as work on narrow sections of the road in order to ensure the safety of the public. Chevron places the highest priority on the safety of the public and our workforce. Temporarily restricting public access to the Bish FSR while construction is underway will help us achieve our goal of an incident and injuryfree workplace. When construction activity is complete, the Bish Forestry Service Road will re-open to the public. For more information: KitimatLNGfeedback@chevron.com Toll free: 1.844.800.0900 chevron.ca/kitimatLNG

LNG dreams The International LNG Conference in B.C., which a number of our elected members attended in Vancouver, is at once partly a pep rally for B.C.’s emerging LNG industry and yet a reminder that as a community we haven’t moved all that much since last year. By that I mean as much as there is activity and building happening in Kitimat, it’s all essentially in anticipation of final investment decisions of the big players such as the LNG Canada project and Chevron and Apache’s Kitimat LNG. At her keynote address Christy Clark spoke about the great momentum LNG has in B.C. and spoke of great things to come. I’m sure progress is made behind the scenes but I noticed Clark’s remarks that by the end of November — firm — they’ll have their project development agreements done with Petronas and Woodfibre LNG (Prince Rupert and Squamish projects, respectively) and that agreement will include all the costs including taxes and regulatory costs. Perhaps I’m not understanding something but it seems that a formalize tax scheme for LNG should be universal and I don’t see why it’s being done on an individual basis. (If anyone wants to write a letter to the editor explaining what I’m missing, please feel free.) Yet even as slow as it seems the province has been to get to a stable place as far as those pesky tax rates go, I remain optimistic that it’s only that which is the main hold-back for some projects. Kitimat LNG for instance has all the regulatory hurdles out of the way. I’m sure once they know how much their facility will cost they’ll know whether or not to build. And people continue to say a recent deal between Russia and China for natural gas won’t impact B.C.’s own industry. I may side with Clark that customers for fuels will likely want a few different sources, and B.C. and Canada is definitely a stable source, politically, for the gas. The bottom line is it’s still a waiting game to know what will happen. In the Financial Post the head of Petronas is reported as saying B.C. shouldn’t be squandering the once in a lifetime opportunity. He said the LNG opportunity in B.C. may be squandered by “banking on unrealistic expectations and misconceived perceptions.” Such words are certainly a warning that B.C. is playing in a high stakes international game of trade. With billions on the line though, everyone is just jockeying for the best financial position. I just hope by next year’s conference we’ll hear more about “momentous” rather than “momentum.”

Canada, a proposed liquefied natural gas export facility planned for Kitimat, that it has named its main contractor as CFSW LNG Constructors, goes a long way to offsetting a lot of the negative and critical LNG media coverage that insists BC has moved too slowly and possibly “missed the boat” in the race to bring the LNG industry to the province. CFSW is a consortium composed of Chiyoda, Foster Wheeler, SAIPEM and WorleyParsons and as the Sentinel reported the contract incorporates the front end engineering and design (FEED) as well as project execution. FEED studies will begin on June 1, the company says. That said, unfortunately, LNG Canada CEO Andy Calitz still emphasizes that the step should not be seen as a final investment decision, which is still “some time away.” However, matched with a second announcement that four major B.C. liquefied natural gas projects have created an alliance to co-ordinate community relations and labour strategies in a bid to present a united front in the race to export LNG to Asia, was to me another positive forward step. The new B.C. LNG Developers Alliance will promote the B.C.’s LNG industry. Again it’s a two-edged sword that shows the tough road ahead to seeing that first LNG tanker on the B.C. north coast.

The continuing story of Mihoko Wakita On May 24, 1942, Mihoko (Sakai) Wakita and her family began their new life as internees. With their meager belongings - including family heirlooms and clothes - they headed east out of the PGE train station in Squamish. It was exciting for an 11-year-old who had never travelled. The train seats were surrounded by sacks of rice because they didn’t know whether rice and soy would be available in their new “home” of Lillooet. The scenery through Whistler, Pemberton and Seton Lake was splendid and enjoyed by most, but imagine the stress. The Issei parents had shielded their off-

spring from the shame and indignity of it all. Clearly it was frightening and discriminatory with Canadianborn children suddenly treated as enemies. Did the Italian and German born folk get treated this way? Arrival in Lillooet revealed a dusty landscape far from the neon lights of Vancouver. They were expected to survive in rows of tar paper shacks situated on a bench above the Fraser River and seven kilometres from
any shops and the high school. Their twostreet village of 345 souls consisted of 62 cabins without electricity and plumbing. Just across the highway were the commercial tomato fields and vegetable gardens which were surrounded with irrigation tanks. Talk about overcrowding: the Sakais housed 14 in their cabin - ten children, two parents, an uncle, and one grandmother. There was no time for recreation for Mi-
and prepare for winter and the work of cutting and hauling the pine wood for the stoves on hand-pulled carts was huge. Mihoko can still remember the winter outhouse trips with the wind howling and the coyotes yipping. Getting adequate water was a challenge and, yes, for delivered drinking water they had to pay. Each house had a drinking water keg which was forever getting refilled. In addition, for domestic kitchen use they hauled muddy Fraser River water on neck yokes with 25 litre pails attached on each side. It had to be filtered in a gravel and charcoal chamber. Nothing was easy. Mihoko missed the amenities and friends
hoko She had to entertain her brothers and sisters as well as doing chores to do with the laundry, meals and garden work. Lazing around and enjoying the hot sun along the sandy Fraser just didn’t happen. Comforts were few and the winters were brutal. The flimsy panel board homes had no insulation and frosting was persistent. Not only the windows but even the overhead nails protruding through the roofing were frosted white. And it wasn’t unheard of to place lit lanterns under beds to supplement the heat it was so cold in bed sometimes that the sheets would freeze to the wall and rip when pulled away. All had to brace
from the city but she was able to correspond with her friend Yae Wakita who was in a similar camp at Revelstoke. Going to high school was a challenge for Mihoko and others and it was only after petitions that officials even permitted the Japanese to attend the community school in Lillooet. Everyone was especially fortunate in having Doctor Masajiro Miyazaki, a fully trained professional, practising nearby. He had a flourishing rural practice and was respected by all. This opened greater possibilities for interred families like the Sakais. In fact for a while Mihoko actually boarded at the Miyazaki home, thus avoiding the 14 kilometre round
trip walk to and from school - there were no school buses. Some folk had bicycles but they were only practical during the summer and cars were not permitted for Japanese. Mihoko made it right through grade 12. Doctor Miyazaki was later a recipient of The Order of Canada. Keeping a thriving summer vegetable crop was real work. Drought was a persistent threat and irrigation was essential. July, August and September meant paying work in the fields, but that only added insult to injury - the Sakais were not farmers. Cannery work was also available and Mihoko can recall a hot four-hour shift there one September. Continued on page 12
The truth behind everyone’s favourite John 3:16 John 3:16: “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whoever believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life.” There is no doubt that John 3:16 is the most loved verse by Christians in all of Scripture. In fact, so many people know this verse that when people hold up signs behind the goal posts at football games they just write John 3:16 on the sign and assume everyone knows what it says. It has been called the Gospel in a nutshell. But because it’s so familiar it can also be taken for granted, and so because of this, lets look at this verse in the light of the question, “What if John 3:16 was not true?” What if God did not “so love the world?” Well, without God’s love there would be no hope in all this world. Without God’s love, our world would just be a dark planet hurtling through space with no purpose other than to exist. It would be a place of despair

From the Pulpit Redeemer Lutheran Church
Pastor Clint Magnus that is completely absent of God’s love. But praise be to God that he does love the world. Every blade of grass, the face of every child is evidence that God loves the world. But of course the biggest demonstration of God love is the cross. The Apostle Paul wrote, “God demonstrated His love for us in this, that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” Which begs the question, “What if God had not sent His only begotten Son?” What if He had left us to our own devised to save ourselves? If that had been the case, then there would have been no one who could live God’s law perfectly and no one who could have paid the penalty of our sin. But the good news is that God did give us His Son and through
Him we have forgiveness of sin and eternal salvation. So what if God’s offer of salvation was not for the “whoevers of this world?” What if God had said only people who were rich enough or pious enough could be saved? If that were true, then most of us would be in serious trouble. So who then can be saved: “Whoever” believes in Him. Rich or poor, young or old, if you confess your sins and believe in Jesus Christ as your Savior you will be saved. “Whoever believes in Him will not perish but receive eternal life.” Which brings us to our last question. “What if God did everything else in this verse but didn’t include eternal salvation as His gift?” Well, consider this: We have already established that

truly is the Gospel in a nutshell. “For God so loved the world that he gave His only begotten Son that whoever believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life.” Amen.

“A strong B.C. economy benefits all Canadians” - John Winter, President & CEO, B.C. Chamber of Commerce
John Winter is the President and CEO of the British Columbia Chamber of Commerce, advocating on behalf of more than 125 Chambers of Commerce and Boards of Trade and over 36,000 businesses across the province.
“Small business in B.C. drives our economy,” says John. “Northern Gateway’s commitment to buy and hire locally will generate jobs and lasting economic opportunities for small businesses along the right-of-way and throughout the province. That’s what we’ve seen time and again when large-scale nation-building infrastructure projects like Northern Gateway are built in B.C.”
An investment in B.C. small business One of the most promising aspects of the Project is Northern Gateway’s commitment to supporting small business. Over the course of the construction phase alone, over $800 million in goods and services will be purchased from local businesses in Northern B.C.
A strong economy and a clean environment can go hand-in-hand John Winter believes that B.C.’s commitment to a strong business climate and high environmental standards sends a powerful message to international investors looking to B.C. and to Canada. “The investment community has been closely watching the Northern Gateway project. It’s an indicator of our openness to resource development and other investments. The recent decision by the Joint Review Panel to recommend approval of the Project sends the message that B.C. and Canada are open for business.” “I believe Northern Gateway will meet the high environmental standards we all expect. With natural, deep-water access to the Pacific, a skilled workforce and a tradition of doing things right, B.C. is well-positioned to move oil safely westward, to the high-demand markets in Asia.” Northern Gateway welcomes the support of the B.C. Chamber of Commerce because in addition to building a safer, better pipeline, we are helping to build a better B.C.

Working in partnership with B.C. and Alberta First Nations and Métis Communities, and leading energy companies in Canada
The Northern Gateway Project promises to be one of the largest private investments this province has ever seen. The Project’s importance to B.C. and to Canada John Winter, a respected business executive and small business advocate, believes that Northern Gateway will help secure Canada’s economy for tomorrow’s generation. “A strong B.C. economy benefits all Canadians. By opening up new markets for our country’s most valuable commodity, Northern Gateway will create new economic opportunities for small business, for workers, and for B.C. communities. That’s good for British Columbia. And it’s good for Canada.”

French immersion parents fight back against bus fee Anna Killen “S’il vous plaît réexaminer?” That’s the word from area French language advocates to the Coast Mountains School District (CMSD). They’re asking the board to reconsider implementing a $20 per student, per month bus fee for students attending French immersion schools outside of their designated neighbourhood, warning that it will make French immersion an exclusive program only available to those who can afford it. The district first attempted to implement the fee at the beginning of this school year, but backed down after backlash from parents prompted them to take the school year to listen to community feedback and re-introduce for the 2014/2015 school year. In Kitimat, french immersion program runs in Kildala Elementary and into Mount Elizabeth Middle Secondary School. “We are very concerned about the increased costs to send students to French immersion and we’re very concerned about the parents who are going to be considering French immersion,” said Monica Rigoni of Kitimat Parents for French during a presentation to the CMSD board at the regular monthly board meeting May 21, which also included representatives from Hazelton and Terrace. Rigoni said the extra fee could deter families from considering the program. “We’re concerned about the long term
effects... we think it could lead to decreased numbers in French immersion, which is a real concern for us,” she said. “We do not want to make French immersion an exclusive pro-
gram, we want it open to all parents and all families in our area.” The per month charge is for students who attend schools outside of their catchment area, or schools
of choice – for example, French immersion schools, or students who attend school in a different neighbourhood than their house. “French immersion isn’t a choice, it’s
a right,” said Patrick Witwicki, executive director of L’Association des Francophones et Francophiles du NordOuest. “For every Canadian, regardless of background.”
School board chair Art Erasmus said afterward that the board would need to look more closely at the financial benefit of fulltime French immersion students, but that the
presentations gave the board plenty to mull over. “[What we’ve found is that] there are some other wrinkles we have to consider,” said Erasmus.

BC still attractive for LNG: Clark Cameron Orr Premier Christy Clark played up the province’s growing liquefied natural gas (LNG) industry in her keynote address at the International LNG in BC conference in Vancouver. She said she remains positive that construction will take place on some of the numerous project proposals, which has doubled since the first annual conference last year. While she didn’t specifically point out potential challengers for providing LNG in the global market, she said that B.C. will remain an attractive place for investors due to political stability. “We won’t be anyone’s sole supplier, but we do know that every company wants to have at least one honourable, reliable partner where they know their supply of natural gas will never be imperilled by politics,” she said. Among other upcoming LNG successes she pointed to an agreement made during his last overseas trade mission
which has set a November 30 deadline to finalize a project development agreement with Petronas and Woodfibre LNG. Petronas, with a goal of operating in Prince Rupert, is suggested by Clark to eventually be the first to reach a final investment decision, while Woodfibre is based in Squamish and Clark said may be the first LNG project in operation in B.C. “With both companies we agreed to finalize our project development agreement by November 30 at the latest. That is the last step before getting to final investment decision...it means B.C. will sit down with both companies and grind in to the detail so we can make sure we have absolute certainty of the numbers. Absolute certainty on all the costs. All the costs that are under government control and that are specific to LNG. That includes certainty on all taxes and the cost of any regulatory requirements.” Her keynote addressed kicked off the three day conference which concluded

Gli italiani visitano Kitimat “What I really enjoy about this city is it’s a community, not just a city. People, they are very friendly with us,” she said. Their teachers were Stefano Amato and Laura Pedrotti. Laura said they will be twinning their school with Mount Elizabeth Middle Secondary School. While here the group presented the town council with a gift book during the May 12 public meeting. Among the primary organizers of this cultural exchange was John Allsop, who has since been called away from Kitimat. He did return for the Italians’ tour and said the process really began during a stint he had in Italy. “It was hatched in a town called Bigolo Vattaro, in May 2011,” said Allsop. The principal at the school at the time, Sandra Bocchur, became interested in B.C. and First Nation cultures through documentaries introduced to her by Allsop. She asked him to make contact with people in B.C. when he returned to set the wheels in motion for the cultural exchange. Bocchur is now the principal of Marie Curie, where the Italian group came from.

Kitimat Council with Italian exchange visitors at the May 12 meeting.
Cameron Orr Two Italian teachers and two students travelled a far ways to get the Kitimat experience. The group were in Kitimat as part of the first phase of a cultural exchange that next year will send Kitimat area students over to Italy. They hail from the Marie Curie high school in Pergine, from an Italian region called Trentino. In a short time frame they truly received the Kitimat experience with meetings with the town council, local industries, and the Haisla, including a trip down the Douglas Channel with Gerald Amos. That trip, they would say during a break at the Rio Tinto Alcan community office, was among their highlights of their Kitimat adventure. The students, Francesca Bailoni and Stefania Tonelli, hadn’t even been in Canada before this trip to the Kitimat Valley. Stefania said she was interested in nature and in industries, making Kitimat a perfect fit for her interests. “If we want to think about our future we must have clean water, clean air and clean earth. So every single industry must be ecological,” she said. Francesca said she enjoyed the tight-knit community of Kitimat.

Marlins host a regional meet Submitted The Kitimat Marlins hosted a regional swim meet in early May and had some excellent results. The other regional clubs from Terrace, Prince Rupert and Smithers were in attendance bringing over 100 swimmers to the competition. Kleanza Cathers (14) competing in the 13-14 girls division achieved her first 15 and under girls Western National qualifying time standard in the 100 meter freestyle. She is now eligible to compete at Canadian Western National Championships this coming February in Regina. She also broke the pool record in the event which was held by Marlins alumni Sheena Bartel from 1991. Bartel at the time was ranked first in Canada in the 50 meter freestyle event. Cathers also broke the pool record in the 50 meter backstroke, 50 breaststroke and the 100 Individual Medley. Cathers time in the 100 IM was the seventh fastest time in Canada by 14 year old girls done this swim season. The pool record in the 100 IM before Kleanza broke it was set in 1984 and had lasted for 30 years. She swam 100 per cent personal best times in

all seven of her events and tied friend and competitor Avery Movald from Prince Rupert for the gold medal in overall points in the 13-14 girls division. Alivia Soares (13) also competing in the 13-14 girls division achieved her first Canadian Age Group National time in the 1500 meter freestyle. She reached it in the upcoming 14 year old girls division as she turns 14 this month. If she qualifies for two more events before mid-July she will be eligible to compete at the Canadian age group National Championships end of July in Winnipeg. Her time was also the seventh fastest time for the event in a 25 meter pool in Canada for 13 year old girls this swim season. Soares broke two other pool records in the 13-14 girls 200 and 400 IM. The 200 IM record was also a 30 year old record that had stood since 1984. The 400 IM was the 32nd fastest time for 13 year old girls swam this season in Canada. The 400 IM record was held previously by Stephanie Nicholls from Prince Rupert from 2000. Soares took the silver medal for overall points in the age group. Zachary Dumas (14) competing in the
Continued from page 5 All wages were passed on to Mom and the family depended on them. The Sakais were interned in Lillooet for nine long years, not being able to return home to Richmond and their previous life as fisher folk until 1951, fully six years after the war had ended. This time the upheaval of moving was welcome. Meanwhile the Wakitas, their family friends, had started up a new life near the camp in Revelstoke. Throughout Mihoko kept up her correspondence with her friend Yae who eventually became her sister-in-law. But that’s a story for next time.
13-14 boys division achieved his first ever Canadian age group national time standard in the 14 year old boys division. He achieved the standard in the 200 meter butterfly event. The time was the 29th fastest time swam in Canada for 14 year old boys for the event in a 25 meter pool this swim season. Dumas also broke a 37 year old record pool record in the 400 IM and just missed the pool record in the 1500 meter freestyle by a mere 3/10s of a second. Dumas collected the gold medal for overall points in the 13-14 boys age group. Gabrielle Lamarre (12) achieved his first two AA Provincial times in the 12-13 year old boy 1500 free and 50 meter freestyle events. This allows him to compete at the AA Provincial championships June in Victoria. Lamarre also took the silver medal for the 11-12 boys division for overall points. Laurence Boucher (13) also punched her ticket to AA champs by achieving her second AA Provincial time in the 800 meter for 12-13 year old girls. Hayden Dobbin (14) achieved his first
ever AA Provincial time in the 14-15 year old boys 1500 meter freestyle. His swim was also the biggest one swim improvement for the Marlins for the meet. The swim was a 90 second improvement from his previous best time. Dobbin also swam to 100 per cent personal best times. Charlotte Collier (11) achieved her first AA Provincial time in the 11 and under girls 50 meter freestyle. Other medalist for the Marlins were Adrianna Florit (9) silver for overall points in the 10 and under girls. Olivia Pearson (9) took the bronze for overall points in the 10 and under girls. Hannah Pearson (12) took the silver medal for overall points in the 11-12 girls and swam 100 per cent personal best times along the way.
