This way, all of our citizens will hear and know current issues and how those issues may impact on their lives. Another important part of communication is advocacy. The role

of the Area C director should certainly include taking citizens’ concerns to the regional board table. We live in a very diverse area. Area C includes Quatsino, Coal Harbour, Tsulquate, Fort Rupert, Victoria Lake, Hyde Creek, and Nimpkish Heights. The area C representative needs to be prepared to visit, connect, hear and then represent each of the communities in Area C. I am prepared to make those connections and commit to regular communication and representation at the regional board. I hope I have earned your support and you will elect me as your next Area C representative.

Welcome Ashley Hello Area C: It has been an honour being your representative at the Regional District. Area C encompasses seven communities — being director of this broad area has meant learning to listen and letting the communities lead as they know best what they need. I believe it is not my job to promise you things I think you might want, or that I want, but to listen to and act on your desires. If re-elected I will continue to fight for rural interests; For example, if the amalgamation of Hyde Creek into Port McNeill is raised again I will fight to make sure there is a referendum so democracy gets

Andrew Hory to decide the future, not special interest groups or municipalities. Communities that were not eligible for recycling may reconsider a garbage service in order to become eligible — again, this is a decision that should be made by the community; with everyone understanding the tax implications before voting.

If re-elected, I will continue to lobby for junctions to be put into the broadband cable as it goes by our rural zones so when possible those communities can easily plug in. I will continue on the transit committee to ensure our excellent system continues to improve. Transit has become vital for rural areas on the North Island, and is especially relevant for Area C. In conclusion, your voice matters. If re-elected, I will continue to seek the will of the communities of Area C and work to deliver those desires with clarity and transparency. Thank you for your support.

LNG advocate to speak here

Gazette staff SEVEN HILLS— Former cabinet minister Gordon Wilson will discuss economic issues related to the development of liquefied natural gas next week in a North Island appearance sponsored by the Port McNeill and District Chamber of Commerce. The public forum, scheduled for 7 p.m.

Nov. 4 at Seven Hills Golf & Country Club, is part of the Chamber’s small-business roundtable. It is open to all interested parties. Wilson was appointed the LNG-Buy BC Advocate in October 2013 by the Premier, and tasked to help connect B.C. businesses with the opportunities that LNG development presents.

Price drop plays role in closure from page 1 Tai Cheng, Neucel’s Vice President of Community & Government Affairs, explained that the shutdown was necessary to provide maintenance to failing machinery in the plant. “We know it’s a big disappointment — if affects the whole North Island and it’s a big disruption. But without going down, operations in 2015 would be uncertain. We’re asking our employees to stand by us during this time.” Cheng pointed to a series of forced shutdowns earlier this year to repair ALERT BAYmalfunctioning

and aging machinery. Faced with the ongoing mechanical issues, along with a fiveto eight-year low on market price for the end-product, viscose, the company opted to shut down operations and use the closure to undertake repairs ahead of a predicted price stabilization next year. Cheng stressed there were no permanent job losses planned. But the shutdown will have a far-reaching effect, he acknowledged. “Almost every employee will be affected,” he said. “Unionized members have been given a temporary

layoff — there’s about 250 on the unionized side. On the salaried side we’re still working on it and encouraging them to take vacation time; that’s around 80 employees. But we’re expecting everyone to return in January.” Coun. Stewart noted that it was not just those facing layoff that would feel the closure. “I’d say there was a good 200 people (employed by the mill and living in Port Alice), but this is going to hit home in Port Hardy and Port McNeill as well as Port Alice — it’s going to touch all three communities,” he said.

“It worries me that many families will have to look elsewhere to find work and not return; that’ll affect the schools and so on.” The mill typically has planned maintenance shutdowns once or twice a year, explained Cheng, running from two to five weeks. The last time it faced a similar length of down time was in 2009. “We’re not able to manufacture without these major shutdowns,” he said. “We’re hoping people will take this time to spend with their families and come back in the new year,” said Cheng.

I am running for Area 2 School Board Trustee because I believe that the small outlying communities of Alert Bay, Port Alice and Sointula should have a strong voice at the table of SD85. The current board has made good progress in the areas of student achievement, aboriginal engagement and education partnerships. The alignment of block schedules and programs for NISS and PHSS is a key step in course offerings for students while encouraging team teaching. The challenge will be adequate funding to meet the aspirations of our students. I believe that investment in quality education for our youth will be good for the North Island and beyond. At the same time I believe that our small school district has the advantage of being nimble and able to adapt. I can

already see the tradition of strong reading, writing and arithmetic skills being expanded to include problem solving, teamwork and critical thinking. My working background is in small business, with an active lifestyle in sports and the outdoors. I bring a strong belief in working as a team to the Board of Education while also engaging community members. I would like our district to continue utilizing technology as a supplement to classroom instruction while incorporating more outdoor activities. I currently work as a business analyst for Community Futures which involves me networking with businesses in the Regional District. I think that I can bring the analytical business view to discussions at the board while appreciating the viewpoints of fellow trustees.

Just a little over three years ago I became a father of two magnificent kids, when my wife Heather and I adopted our sons. In that short time my boys have attended four different school districts. With the purchase of our first house our family has picked the North Island as our community, our home. I have expertise in problem solving, and thinking outside the box. Most of my experience was gained in forest research working in academia, government, industry, and as a consultant. During my graduate work, I worked for six years as a teaching assistant at UBC and understand the skill sets required to succeed in post-secondary education, be it a skilled trade or PhD. I know that the foundations to succeed must be developed early. I understand the influence that a

high-stress home life can have on a child’s learning. I feel it is time to move forward; enough of the status quo. I will use my expertise to continue the efforts to try to restore funding. It is time to be creative with what we do have and re-build our children’s education with innovation, community and the help of parents. It is time to look outside the North Island and emulate success stories. As a School Trustee I will use my unique background to make constructive changes to the North Island School District that will result in developing a world-class education program for my two sons, your children, and the North Island Community.

Beware an overreaction Cpl. Nathan Cirillo and Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent were not the only casualties of terror in Canada last week. A nation’s innocence died as Canadians unwillingly became part of international terror on our own soil. RCMP were already monitoring 90 people, including one of the two men who killed Canadian soldiers in sudden, unprovoked attacks. Security will increase as the terrorist attacks play into the existing law-and-order agenda of the governing Conservatives. More surveillance cameras is a given. Beefed-up security at airports and border crossings is inevitable. Who but the most ardent civil libertarians would oppose such measures when all signs point toward more terrorism within Canada? Last month, the spokesman for the Islamic State of Iraq and Al-Sham called for attacks on Canadians. Abu Muhammad Al-Adnani urged ISIS supporters to kill Canadians, Americans, Australians, French and other Europeans whether they are members of the military or civilians. Extra security to defend against such attacks will be expensive. Canadians will lose some civil liberties in a tradeoff for feeling, and hopefully being, safer. How far will the pendulum swing? How much will our country change from its reputation as a peacemaker? The most disturbing aspect of both incidents is that both killers were Canadians. Perhaps the most insidious aspect of terrorism is that radicalized fanatics can walk among us undetected, especially if they are Canadian citizens. Besides whatever increase in domestic suspicion that would naturally occur, this cannot help but raise intolerance toward anyone in this country with an odd name, suspicious accent or swarthy skin. This will provide an excuse for anyone already inclined toward intolerance, outright racism or paranoia. Finding a healthy balance in the times that will come will not be easy. One of the worst fallouts from terrorism is how it makes people and their governments fearful and reactionary. Residents of a less-innocent Canada are suddenly faced with more doubt and uncertainty. Maybe we were just fooling ourselves, content with our international reputation as the nice guys in the long shadow of our U.S. neighbours. Americans will continue to be a much more attractive target than Canadians, but we’re now on the radar for terrorists. How we react to this threat will say volumes about Canadians. The trick will be protecting ourselves from fanatics without becoming extremists ourselves. Mark Allan is a former editor of the North Island Gazette.

Difficult birth for LNG cash cow VICTORIA – Debate is underway on the B.C. Liberal government’s tax and environmental plan for liquefied natural gas exports, amid the usual political theatre. Most media reported that the government “slashed” its proposed seven-percent LNG processing income tax by half, caving in to demands of international energy giants led by Petronas of Malaysia. The 3.5 per cent tax wouldn’t even take full effect until the massive capital investment is written down, and would rise to five per cent after 20 years of production. All of this casts further doubt on Premier Christy Clark’s extravagant election campaign promise to use LNG revenues to wipe out B.C.’s debt, currently approaching $70 billion, and provide an Alberta-style “prosperity fund” to perform further miracles. The seven per cent figure was the top end of the range

presented this spring while negotiations with LNG investors were ongoing, so it’s not really accurate to say it was “slashed.” This cash calf hasn’t been born yet, and it remains to be seen if it will survive. Finance Minister Mike de Jong pointed out some of the shifts in the global gas market that have reduced expectations. Japan, one of the potential investors, is considering restarting its nuclear plants as it recovers from the 2011 Fukushima

earthquake. China’s manic growth is slowing, and it has signed a long-term deal to import cheaper Russian pipeline gas. Oil prices have dropped. The government’s change of tone started with the recent throne speech. “Like forestry, B.C.’s natural gas industry has relied on exports to the United States,” the speech observed. “But the American shale gas revolution has meant the export south has dried up – and is never coming back.” So before B.C. gets to that prosperity fund, it’s got to stop the bleeding. The finance ministry estimates that after the startup period, a medium-sized LNG export operation would pay total taxes of around $800 million a year to the province. De Jong notes that this is more revenue than B.C. will collect from the entire forest industry this year, from a single plant. There are 18 currently proposed. A member of

This new LNG income tax is nowhere near the biggest source. It’s bigger than the carbon tax that LNG producers will pay on fuel use, but only a fourth of what B.C. collects in royalties for selling the gas. The biggest source of revenue from this hopedfor plant is “other taxes,” which include sales tax and corporate income tax, which B.C. increased to 11 per cent last year. If B.C. does get a substantial LNG export industry, it will include gas from Alberta, with royalties going there, not here. And companies are also wrangling with the federal government over its taxes, with local governments and First Nations still in line for their cut. The big question isn’t whether B.C. will get its fair share. It’s whether there will be anything to share.

Concert society ready to boogie-woogie Gazette staff PORT HARDY— After a long off-season, the North Island Concert Society is ready to boogie-woogie again. No, really. Acclaimed jazz pianist and vocalist Michael Kaeshammer takes the Civic Centre stage Saturday at 7:30 p.m. to kick off the 2014-15 season, the 17th for NICS. The German-born, Canadian-bred performer brings a pop sensibility to a wide range of styles, but you can always count on a dose of his original influence — boogie-woogie and New Orleans-style jazz. This is not the first North Island appearance for Kaeshammer, who appeared more than a decade ago as a young, up-and-com-

established performer,” NICS co-founder and board member Malcolm Fleeton said. At that time, Kaeshammer was living and performing on Vancouver Island and had a single solo album out. Since that visit, the composer, arranger and songwriter has released six acclaimed CD’s — the latest is eponymous Michael Kaes- 2011’s hammer will play Kaeshammer — and the Civic Centre is in the process of Saturday at 7:30 crowd-sourcing funding for a new album p.m. featuring 10 original ing wunderkind of the compositions. Which means, for keys. It will be his first concert in the Civic North Island patrons, Centre, though, as the new music to go along fledgling concert soci- with the diverse mix ety was still putting on of originals, traditionshows in the secondary als, standards and covschool gym in those ers Kaeshammer may choose to unveil on a days. “Now, we’re get- given night.

NICS’s most popular acts over the years, Kaeshammer promises to deliver a range of styles, from old-school jazz to soul, pop and R&B. All of this is delivered with not only technical virtuosity, but with a sense of showmanship tailored to his audience and designed to draw it into the show, rather than keep patrons arms-length viewers. “If you haven’t seen him live, you haven’t

really experienced him in his true element,” Montreal Gazette writer Bernard Perusse wrote in a review of a Kaeshammer show. Familiar, accessible music will help draw you in — his instrumental remake of the Impressions’ People Get Ready, a big crowd-pleaser when the Sojourners appeared here two seasons ago — is a staple of his live shows. And he has a particular affinity for

Robert Palmer’s funkified Sneakin’ Through the Alley with Sally. But when Kaeshammer unleashes his full arsenal, you might just find you no longer care which song is coming up next.

Audience makes time to help find lost rhyme Gazette staff PORT MCNEILL—Theatre spectators had a chance to become part of the story during the Gate House Theatre’s drama performance last weekend The Gate House Community Association’s after-school drama program held an interactive play called “A Mother Goose Mystery” last Saturday, where actors worked together with audience members to solve a mystery. The mystery in this case took place in Mother Goose Land, where rhyming words in assorted nursery rhymes had inexplicably gone missing. Little Bo Peep, for example, had lost her camels instead of her sheep, while

Mary Quite Contrary was instead Quite Silly. Brave travellers, played by the audience, were implored by Mother Goose herself to venture through Mother Goose Land and bring the rhymes back. Audience members made their way through different scenes set up in the theatre, provided at each station with a set of “clues” that offered the real words to the nursery rhymes. It was the audience’s job to match each character with their missing rhymes. At the end of the adventure, when rhyme and reason had been restored to Mother Goose Land, adventurers received popcorn and hot chocolate as a reward.

Causing a difference Gazette staff PORT MCNEILL— Established and aspiring crafters alike were able to take part in a day-long crafting fundraiser last weekend. The sixth Create for a Cause, which was hosted by the Port McNeill Baptist Church, ran from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday and brought together enthusiastic paper crafters, scrapbookers, and card makers to raise money for the Gazette Hamper Fund. For a registration fee and a donation,

beverages. It also featured a silent auction and loonie auction with donated prizes. All funds went towards the Hamper Fund. One of the event organizers, Lauren Martineau, said the goal of Create for a Cause was to establish a social time for crafters. “People can dedicate a whole day to crafting,” she said. “We thought if we could match up our crafting with a North Island Cause, that would be awesome.” Organizers from Port Alice, Port

Hardy, and Port McNeill teamed up with the Port Hardy and Port McNeill Baptist churches to organize the fundraiser. “It’s really an allNorth Island event,” said Martineau. Create for a Cause has so far raised about $1,900 for the Hamper Fund, and delivered multiple boxes and bags of non-perishable food Mallory Martineau works on a project during Create for a Cause at the Port McNeill Baptist Church Saturday. and toy donations.

Have a safe and happy Halloween 4 Paws Rescue Society would like to wish everyone a Happy Safe Halloween! 4 Paws Rescue Society would like to remind everyone that our pets; whether dog or cat should be kept indoors during the Halloween festivities. When opening the door for trick or treater make sure your pet does not dart outside. Putting them in a safe enclosed area will help prevent escape. Make sure your pets have proper identification. If for any reason they escape, having collar tags or microchip/tattoo can help make for a safe return home. Fireworks scare most pets!!! Make sure if they are left alone; have a radio or TV on to help drown out the loud noise. Also keeping your lights on will help them adjust to the lights outside. Have a safe and Happy Halloween with your 4 pawed friends

SAFETY TIPS • Avoid trick-or-treating alone. Walk in groups or with a trusted adult. • Fasten reflective tape to costumes and bags to help drivers see you. • Examine all treats for choking hazards and tampering before eating them. Limit the amount of treats you eat. • Hold a flashlight while trick-or-treating to help you see and others see you. • Always WALK and don’t run from house to house. • Only walk on sidewalks whenever possible, or on the far edge of the road facing traffic to stay safe. • Wear well-fitting masks, costumes, and shoes to avoid blocked vision, trips, and falls. • Eat only factory-wrapped treats. Avoid eating homemade treats made by strangers. • Enter homes only if you’re with a trusted adult. Only visit well-lit houses. • Never accept rides from strangers.

Fright night

Gazette staff PORT ALICE—Zombies rubbed shoulders with princesses while Ninjas crossed swords with pirates Friday as the Community Centre hosted its annual Halloween Howl here last Friday. Kicking off the Halloween season a week early, the Howl featured terrifying treats, a devilish dance and a fiendish photo booth providing fun for all ages. Proving once again that Port Alice is a one-of-a-kind community, a mime (Elizabeth Brackett) served as announcer for a costume parade in which nobody moved.

Top costume winners included Abby Roberts, Caleb McKenzie and new RCMP Constable Elijah Parish, who arrived as top Transformer Optimus Prime. Halloween continues on the North Island this week, with Cafe Guido sponsoring the annual Costume Crawl on Market Street in Port Hardy Friday afternoon; fireworks shows with bonfire and refreshments at the Community Hall in Port McNeill Friday at 7 p.m. and at Storey’s Beach in Port Hardy Friday at 8 p.m.; and the annual Pumpkin Patch walk along Port Hardy’s waterfront Saturday from 6-8 p.m.

Clockwise from left: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Abby Roberts joins princesses (L-R) Becca Spafford, Anna Kernachan, Taylor Spafford, Hailey Tiberghien, Kianna Schmidt, Maddison Jorgenson and Lily Jorgenson during the Halloween Howl at Port Alice Community Centre Friday; Optimus Prime (Elijah Parish) draws attention from snowman Joey Jorgenson and zombie Morgan McGraw; McGraw emerges from the cemetery; The Big Bad Wolf and Little Red Riding Hood take a refreshment break.

One Wild weekend in Hardy

Gazette staff PORT HARDY—The Wild Women’s hockey tourney returned to the Don Cruickshank Memorial Arena last weekend, playing down to four finals to accommodate this year’s record turnout of teams. In the Ladies Division, Sunday’s final saw the Juiceheads and Downpour replay Saturday’s final tiering game which ended in a tie between the sides. This time around the Juiceheads ran out 5-0 winners, Sarah Case earning the shutout in goal. The scoreline is somewhat misleading as there was little to choose between the sides for long periods. Kristy Mellow’s early strike gave the Juiceheads the advantage but it took until midway throughout the second half to double the lead. But once they found the scoring touch, the Juiceheads added three in quick succession, Kirstie Bradshaw, Emily and Carly Heavenor providing the crucial touches. Kelly McLaughlin crowned the win with the fifth in the closing minutes. In the Mens A final, a four-goal second-half onslaught helped the Warriors to a 5-1 vic-

tory over the Islanders. Shelby Cockell opened the scoring for the Port Hardy side on a power play, firing home from the high slot. The one-goal advantage stayed in place until after the ice-cleaning break when Corey Swain broke forward and laid off for Eddie Walkus to smash a one-

timer into the net. Two minutes later the Warriors went three up when David Shaw squared the puck for Jake Colbourne to hammer home from the right. Cockell doubled his tally soon after following a Brett Demoe break from his own zone. Demoe carried

the puck to the end line and round the goal before passing back for Cockell to collect and pick his spot through traffic from the blue line. Cockell was denied a hat trick with six minutes left when Islanders goalie Adam Hall got his pads on the shot. Walkus was on hand

to convert the rebound, however. Graham McKay spoiled Jason Saunders’ shutout and grabbed a consolation for the Islanders with five minutes left to play on a steal and score. Three Mainline goals in less than a minute early in the first period put the Whalers on

the back foot and put Mainline on the road to a comfortable 11-3 win in the Mens B Division. Chad Mackenzie, Ethan Shaw, Jordan Mercer and Clayton Brown each scored a brace for Mainline with Tom Cessford, Travis Pearson and Adam Dmetrichuk also finding the net. Barry Wilson scored twice and Shay Peterson added the consolation for the Whalers. The Ice Devils continued its unbeaten streak in the round-robin into the Oldtimers final, topping WW1 3-1 in a hard-fought battle. Al Ruston opened the scoring for the Devils, lifting the puck into the net from the left circle. Gord Jones made it two before the break, tipping home a Rob Brittain delivery on a power play. WW1 pulled one back in style in the second, Bill Milligan driving the puck and laying off behind for Shane Murdoch to fire into the roof of the goal past net minder Aaron Hinton. Rushton had the final word, however, breaking forward to go one-on-one with Pat Penney, rounding the keeper and slotting home into the empty net.

Atoms battle back to win high-scoring game J.R. Rardon Gazette editor P O R T McNEILL—A slow start left the North Island Eagles trailing visiting Juan de Fuca by two goals late in the second period of their atom development hockey game at Chilton Regional Arena Saturday. That turned out to leave plenty of time to turn the tables. Ethan Bono scored four goals, including the tying score, as the Eagles pulled away

for a 10-6 victory that evened their record in placement games at 2-2. “I have a feeling that’s going to be a constant theme this season,” head coach Ray Bono said of the high-scoring, backand-forth affair. One week earlier, the atoms played a similar game against Nanaimo B2 that ended in an 8-7 loss. This time, however, when the Eagles grabbed the lead they never gave it up.

“The kids came out flat. But they battled back. They played really well once they got going.” Steve Verbrugge

Juan de Fuca jumped to a 4-1 lead in the opening period, and still led 5-3 with just 4:21 left in the second. That’s when Ethan Bono started the rally by onetiming Tyler Roper’s

crossing pass into the net for a powerplay goal. Less than a minute and a half later, Bono reached his stick out to redirect a point shot by Cole Klughart past the Grizzlies’ goalie

and tie the game at 5, even as the Juan de Fuca bench called fruitlessly for a highstick call. Then with just 17.4 second left in the period, the Eagles took their first lead of the day when Tristan Mardell’s rush and vigorous work behind the net set up David Hurley for the goahead tally. “The kids came out flat,” assistant coach Steve Verbrugge said. “But they battled back. They played

really well once they got going.” That success extended to goalie Griffin Handley, who allowed just a single goal, on a Grizzlies breakaway, over the final 30 minutes of play. “Griffin kept us in it,” Ray Bono said. “He gave us a chance to win the game.” After Juan de Fuca drew within 7-6 on the breakaway goal, Ethan Bono, Roper and Ethan Fuller scored consecutive goals over the final 6:09 to put it

away. Klughart and Roper finished with two goals each in the win. Bono and Klughart had three assists each, Roper had two, and individual assists were collected by Skyler Evans, David Klatt, Matthew Datos, Mardell, Evan Manke, Daunte McKinney and Kai Verbrugge. The atoms wrap up their five-game placement round with a 1:15 p.m. game against Comox Saturday in Port Alice.

Midgets lose out in opener Gazette staff PORT McNEILL—After blitzing through their placement-round schedule unbeaten, the North Island Eagles midget hockey team found somewhat tougher sledding in their Division 3 regular-season opener Saturday at Chilton Regional Arena. Then again, the coaching staff said the squad bears much of the responsibility for a 3-0 blanking at the hands of Juan de Fuca T2. “We have a very good pass- North Island Eagles goalie Nyck Ruel eyes an incoming team that decided to come ing shot off the stick of Juan de Fuca’s Cody Law J.R.

task of stopping or deflecting shots from a squared-up position. “Their goalie had a good game,” Eagles assistant coach John Murgatroyd said. “He’s a big kid and he moves well. But when you’re not moving the puck you can make a goalie look better than he is.” The midgets’ strong forecheck continued well into the third period, and the team seemed to have a golden opportunity to cut the deficit in half when they went on their final power-play. But Cochrane once more got free on a short-handed breakaway and, again, made good on the rush to provide the final margin. From that point on the hosts went back to a scrambling style as Juan de Fuca was content to trap and frustrate the Eagles with dump-and-chase tactics. “You can’t play this level of hockey individually,” Murgatroyd said. “The good thing is, we have smart guys on our team. They’re gonna correct that.”
