TERRRACE - School board chair Art Erasmus and the Coast Mountains School District bid farewell to longtime Hazelton trustee Lynn Newbery at the Nov. 19 board meeting, her last. Newbery, who decided not to seek re-election citing the long drive to Terrace, thanked the board for letting her do some “very un-trustee like things over the years”, like teaching the board a new Gitxan word every month and spending a minute for history at the end of each meeting, in which she would recount First Nations history to the enjoyment of those in the room.

NASS VALLEY - The four marching bands of the Nass Valley have teamed up into a supergroup and are heading south for the Grey Cup parade being held in Vancouver on Nov. 29. Marching bands have been part of contemporary Nisga’a culture for more than 100 years and the Vancouver performance is being heralded as a celebration of this enduring tradition that has become woven into the fabric of the Nass Valley communities. The troupe of more than 100 performers drawn from the bands
representing the New Aiyanshi Harmonic Silver Band, the Gitwinksihlkw Brass Band, the Greenville Concert Band and the Gingolx Concert Band will join other performers in the parade being held the day before the Grey Cup. According to Alvin Azak, a Gitwinksihlkw band council member and a member of that community’s band for decades, the ability of the community’s bands to join together is better since transportation improvements were made in the Nass Valley. “The culture is such that whenever friends or family are

celebrating or grieving we gather to celebrate or grieve. Each band from each community would travel and they would perform,” said Azak of the long history of collaboration between bands. “Now it’s easy, we join forces.” The big band is being called Majag-aleehl Nisga’a or the “Flower of the Nass Valley” and symbolizes how the various communities are working as one, both in terms of government and industry, he said. The Grey Cup parade performance will include one march song called the Great Call that Azak learned in the 1950s. Some members are flying

down to Vancouver while others are taking a bus through $50,000 being provided by the Nisga’a Lisims Government and other monies from companies. “There are three distinct areas of Nisga’a culture and they have to do with relationships,” said Azak, adding that one of the areas has to do with spirituality, the other with community and the third with the environment. “The band is about the relationship with each other,” said Azak. In addition to the Grey Cup parade, the band will also hold several performances in Vancouver.

Residents tell LNG giant to get out of Dodge By Shaun Thomas
THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
PRINCE RUPERT - Residents of Dodge Cove are preparing to take the fight to Nexen after they were informed the company is now looking solely at Digby Island for its potential LNG export terminal. Nexen had signed an agreement with the Province of B.C. for a site at Grassy Point while looking at the coast of Digby Island as an alternative, but Skeena — Queen Charlotte Regional District director Des Nobels said the company told Dodge Cove residents that is now off the table at a meeting on Nov. 7. “There wasn’t a lot of information they could give us because there is no final design for the plan they have in place. They were very vague in their answers and people were not happy with that. The one piece of information they could give us is that they had severed their ties with the province for the
Grassy Point application and Digby Island South was now their preferred location ... that sent quite a ripple through the community in terms of that being one of the only hopes we had left,” he told directors of the Skeena – Queen Charlotte Regional District on Nov. 21. “Many people in the community were quite taken aback by the fact that they were not as well prepared as we had expected them to be coming to a community o field questions ... they were quite open about providing the community with service and a few other things we might be looking for, but we indicated quite clearly that they had nothing we were looking for. They had nothing to offer us and what they had we don’t value. I think they left with the idea the community was not supportive of the project.” Following the meeting with Nexen representatives, a community meeting was held in Dodge Cove on Nov. 12, a meeting that Nobels said showed just how united residents are.

Kitimat council seeks options for local park
www.bclocalnews.com /bc_north A3
By Cameron Orr THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
KITIMAT - In the wake of a verbal report to Kitimat Council regarding the status of Radley Park following a week of high rain, council is asking for staff to provide new options. Director of Leisure Services Martin Gould had said that some portions of the park had been washed away in recent high rains but there were no loss of campsites and the areas lost were known to be likely to go in the case of high waters. Mary Murphy moved for staff to bring back options to protect the park and stop erosion. “Each time it’s [erosion protection] come to council for whatever reason, including 2011, we opt to do nothing. It is apparent that something needs to be addressed,” she said. “We have put $800,000 aside and so we need to protect that asset.” Mario Feldhoff supported the motion but clarified the $800,000 the town has put aside in the past was for campsite development and not erosion protection. “A number of years back we did put $450,000 aside for rip-rap,” he noted, saying that eventually other priorities, tied with the closure of Eurocan as well, meant the work fell away. “It wouldn’t hurt to look at this with the input of people from the community,” he said on the matter now. Mary Murphy said that she has spoken with contractor Jack Oviatt and he is willing to work with the District on developing a plan for the riverbank at the park.

Breakfast program launches at Port Edward Elementary By Shaun Thomas
THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
PORT EDWARD - Rather than reading, writing and arithmetic, students at Port Edward Elementary started off the morning of Nov. 19 with pancakes, sausages and fruit cups. A hot meal was prepared for and served to the entire student population by representatives of TransCanada Corporation and the Breakfast Club of Canada to launch the morning meal program in the school. “Our overarching goal is that no student should be going to class hungry, so we make sure that kids are having access to healthy, nutritious meals through all four food groups every day. It is much more to us than feeding the belly, it’s teaching kids about healthy eating habits and healthy living, which we believe carries on with them through adulthood,” said Breakfast Club
provincial coordinator Robin Ryan. “One of our tenants is that any student can join. You don’t need to sign up for it, you don’t need to be recommended, everyone has to have full access. You can’t make some students pay and others not, it has to be free for everybody and universally accessible. If a school finds itself with more students than it can handle, we work with them to find funding.” The program was the first in the Northwest to be launched following a commitment by TransCanada of $20,000 over the next three years for programs in schools in Port Edward, Prince George, Vanderhoof and Terrace. It’s a donation that TransCanada community relations manager Rebecca McElhoes said just makes sense for the company. “We were looking for an opportunity based on what we were hearing in the community around education. We looked around for

organizations that have a role to play in communities along our route and the Breakfast Club of Canada seemed like a natural fit for us,” she said. “I think it is certainly our responsibility as a company that is coming into a community to try and make a difference in the community we will be living and working in ... all of the students in the school will have access to this.” For principal Deb Taylor, the addition of the program will help contribute to student success. “It means a lot because a lot of children don’t eat before they come to school. I don’t know if they’re just not hungry at that time, but having something for them here makes sure they get a good start to the day with good food,” she said, noting it will be administered using existing resources as the school looks for community involvement in the program.

Kitimat storyteller puts kids tales to print By Cameron Orr THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
KITIMAT - Angus MacLeod is a storyteller at heart. He recalls with great flourish the constant questions his children would throw his way. Like why there wasn’t any snow out one particular winter, or why peanut butter is the colour it is. “You know what? I’m a father and my kids when they were very young would come to me with questions. For instance, the 1985, final game in the World Cup, they’re in to extra time... Suddenly Germany is awarded a penalty kick inside the box,” said MacLeod to listeners at the Kitimat Seniors Centre last week. “Right as they’re about to take that kick, my son is tugging on my shirt sleeve. He says ‘Dad, how come we’ve got no purple peanut butter?’ “Well, I don’t know who won the 1985 World Cup, but if you read the book you can read all about purple peanut butter.” That book is called The Wee Folk, a collection of tales of fairies, elves and all kinds of other beings. MacLeod said he began to write these stories down as he went, which were essentially spur of the moment tales. Like for instance Ralph the Snowflake Elf. “Where that started, we were coming up to Christmas 1982 and there was no snow at all anywhere in Kitimat. My two-year-old daughter was really worried because with no snow there would be no Santa Claus,” he said. “I got up in the morning, I think it might have been December 23 or 24, and before I left for work I cut a snowflake out of a piece of paper and I left it at her place at the table in the kitchen and left a note.” That note would be from “Ralph”, regarding the snow. “That day we were blessed with three feet of snow in Kitimat, and my daughter was convinced it was Ralph the Snowflake Elf that brought the snow,” said MacLeod. When he got home from work, he was bombarded was questions from his family about this Ralph person. “I had no idea. All I done is leave her a note. So that started the stories.”

I don’t know who won the 1985 World Cup, but if you read the book you can read all about purple peanut butter.
Angus MacLeod Now he and his family are excited to see the stories in print. The collection was even illustrated, by an artist named Jessy Rensink, who they were fortuitously connected to and who did the work pro-bono to build her own profile. MacLeod said he may have more stories in him to tell — some of them more advanced than children’s stories — but he’ll wait to see how well he does with this current book. He said if writing was all he needed to do it would be easy, but preparing a book for print takes a lot more effort. He said to do it again he’d be tempted to go for a plain, black and white book just to make his life easier. Of course it wouldn’t look as nice or fun. His book is being sold at the Kitimat Museum & Archives, and online at Amazon.ca.

Nisga’a ink pipeline benefits deal VICTORIA - The Nisga’a Nation is to receive $1 million immediately and potentially millions more should a pipeline be built that would carry natural gas from northeastern B.C. to a planned liquefied natural gas plant near Prince Rupert. Details of the benefits agreement with the provincial government were announced in Victoria this morning. That first $1 million follows the signing of the agreement and is to be followed by $2.5 million should a subsidiary of TransCanada pipelines start construction and another $2.5 million when gas starts to flow through the pipeline. Tr a n s C a n a d a ’s Prince Rupert Gas Transmission’s 48-inch pipeline is to feed a plant being planned by Malaysian energy giant Petronas at a location on Lelu Island near Prince Rupert. And the Nisga’a are also to receive a share, as of yet undetermined, of $10 million a year the provincial government says it wants to pay First Nations along the entire pipeline route. The money is based on the pipeline crossing more than 85 kilometres of Nisga’a lands on the way to the ocean before turning south and going underwater to the planned LNG plant. Petronas says it anticipates making a final

The money for the Nisga’a is to come from general provincial government revenue and is not tied to any revenues it would receive itself from LNG developments, said aboriginal relations minister John Rustad. “Pipeline benefits, except for initial payments upon signing, are triggered by pipeline construction milestones and are contingent on projects proceeding and staying in operation,” he said. Rustad called the
agreement significant for its potential in creating wealth for communities and for the inclusion of the Nisga’a Nation in LNG development. “This demonstrates our ability to work with First Nations on important projects,” he said. Nisga’a Lisims Government president Mitchell Stevens spoke of the provision of jobs for Nisga’a citizens and for the Nisga’a Nation’s support of an LNG industry. He said the benefits agreement stems from the Nisga’a Final
Agreement of 2000 which provides the basis for Nisga’a economic development, adding that the Nisga’a Nation is “open for business.” “Now is the time to be bold and move forward,” Stevens said. The agreement with the province is the latest in a series undertaken by the Nisga’a to provide revenues, jobs and business opportunities for the Nisga’a Nation. Earlier this month, it signed an economics benefits agreement directly with Prince Rupert Gas Transmission itself.

Kathy Nelson, back, and Justine Knott have been working to compile Rupertites’ stories for the second edition of the Book of Rainbows since October. The two were in the Hecate Strait office working on Nov. 20.
Work now underway on second Book of Rainbows By Martina Perry
THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
PRINCE RUPERT Like the spectrum of colours naturally occurring in stormy Prince Rupert skies, the Book of Rainbows will shine light on residents’ contributions to the City of Rainbows. Work is currently underway on the second edition of the Book of Rainbows, a project initiated by the Hecate Strait Employment Development Society in 2013. Individuals seeking work through Hecate Strait are hired to compile the stories of Rupertites, as a way to provide them with experience and training that will help them find permanent employment when the project is complete. Hecate Strait is receiving more than $56,000 from the Job Creation Partnership, which funds projects that increase employability and share labour market information. For the undertaking, TriCorp is also helping pay for the costs of training courses. Justine Knott and Kathy Nelson were selected for the 28-week assignment, providing the pair with work experience in research and interviewing. The two are also receiving free transferable skills training, making it easier to find work in the future. “The Job Creation Partnership project is not just about work experience, it’s about opportunity. The idea is to not only use the resourc-
es and training within the organization, but to give participants a greater understanding of the wealth of employment opportunities that are available in the region through the contacts they will make in the community,” said Hecate Strait Development Society project coordinator Duane Jackson, who is leading Nelson and Knott in their work. “It’s a tremendous learning experience with great teachings. I love learning something new every day,” Knott said. “The range of possibilities in career choices that open up for us is exciting,” added Nelson. Like the first edition, the latest instalment of the Book of Rainbows will consist of the stories of fascinating people who make up Prince Rupert’s history, with an emphasis on the contributions of Aboriginal people and immigrants to the community. With Jackson providing guidance, Knott and Nelson started working on the publication in October. The
three recently started interviewing people, selecting the individuals to speak with. Nelson said she’s enjoyed getting to know the history of people she’s seen around the community. “They’re amazing. Truly amazing,” she said. “There’s lessons to be learned in each story from people. That’s what I find really great,” she also said. While at first the interviews were somewhat challenging for Knott and Nelson, they said it has become easier and easier. “They like telling their story. Some of them think they don’t have a story ... [but they all do],” Knott said. The Job Creation Partnership also provided $53,000 for the first edition of the Book of Rainbows, published in November 2013. Both individuals that worked on the first edition went on to find employment. The newest Book of Rainbows will be released in March 2015.

BASEMENT ENTRY FAMILY HOME
Craftsman-style detailing and decorative stone trim add instant appeal to the exterior of this two-level, three-bedroom family home. Inside, a practical floor plan makes this a good choice for a young, growing family. From the sheltered porch entry, a single front door opens to the ground floor, with a well-lit foyer with a den, or home office, to the right. The den’s full-size window and double glass-paned doors will let in plenty of natural light. The entire back half of the ground floor is unfinished. This space has roughed in plumbing for a three-piece bathroom and access through sliding glass doors to a covered backyard patio. It could serve as an in-law suite or mortgage-helper, where local by-laws permit this. The laundry room is also located on the lower floor, across the hall from the staircase leading upstairs to the main living areas. On the second floor, a contemporary kitchen features a raised eating bar, angled corner sinks with windows and access to a partly covered sundeck. The adjoining great room includes a dining area with a feature wall with a gas fireplace, as well as glass doors that open to a covered deck located over the garage. Space on either side of the fireplace could be used for bookshelves or an entertainment unit. A large window in the great room has an extra-wide sill, prefect for growing plants.
The master bedroom is at the back of the house and includes a walk-in closet and a three-piece en-suite bathroom. Two additional bedrooms share the home’s second bathroom, which has a boxed out wall for the bathtub. A double garage is recessed into the main level of the home, with a side door leading directly into the foyer. This home measures 38 feet wide by 49 feet, 4 inches deep, for a total of 1,345 square feet of finished living space. Plans for design 2-3-713 are available for $595 (set of 5), $680(set of 8) and $748 for a super set of 10. Also add $30.00 for Priority charges within B.C. or $55.00 outside of B.C. Please add 12% H.S.T., 13% H.S.T. Or 5% G.S.T (where applicable) to both the plan price and Priority charges. Our NEW 46TH Edition of the Home Plan Catalogue containing over 300 plans is available for $15.50 (includes taxes, postage and handling).

TERRACE - Veritas School’s skills training workshop now being assembled at the school received a financial boost thanks to Jim MacDougall who donated $10,000 from the proceeds of his late wife’s pension. Betty McDougall worked at the school for 24 years beginning in 1977. Three generations were represented at the official donation. On the left, Catherine Ippel who went to the school and who is a daughter to MacDougall, Ippel’s daughter Reagan who is in Grade 6 at the school and MacDougall himself. Accepting the donation on the right is school principal Dave Crawley and that’s workshop project supervisor Allan McInytre on the far right.
Group backs geothermal possibilities VICTORIA - A report released Nov. 25 by the Canadian Geothermal Energy Association suggests that geothermal energy is a low cost, clean, viable alternative to the proposed $8 Billion Site C Dam project (“Site C”). “Geothermal has the potential to provide firm energy at a lower cost than Site C in a manner that benefits ratepayers, taxpayers, the economy and the environment, not to mention having a carbon footprint that is lower than Site C,” said association chair Alison Thompson said.
As the Joint Review Panel noted, new sources of energy are not required immediately, and likely not until 2028, and so there is time to complete proper due diligence, build geothermal plants and catch up to the rest of the world after 30 years of downplaying geothermal. The new report is timely since the BC cabinet is expected to decide whether or not to proceed with Site C before Christmas. Key Report Findings 1. British Columbia has enormous potential to produce geothermal power. There is a
sufficient geothermal potential to meet all of the province’s future power needs, including the 1,100 MW of capacity and 5,100 gigawatt hours per year (GWh/yr) of energy that would come from Site C. 2. The energy association estimates that the geothermal unit energy cost (UEC) at plant gate of a portfolio of “favourable” projects is $73/MWh compared to BC Hydro’s estimate of $83/MWh for Site C. In our view, these plants can be built for approximately $3.3 billion, far less than the cost of Site C.
3. Geothermal energy has 10 key advantages compared to Site C: * Geothermal power has a lower UEC and capital cost. * Geothermal heat is a valuable by-product. * More permanent jobs are generated by geothermal operations than other alternatives. * Costly BC Hydro system transmission upgrades are avoided or minimized. * The power grid is strengthened through ancillary services, including geothermal energy’s unique base load and dispatchable capacity.

Nathan Wilson looking at his completed totem pole at a ceremony on November 20.
KITIMAT - With drumming, singing and dancing, Mount Elizabeth Middle Secondary School’s totem pole rose in their lobby, a permanent symbol of the school’s connection with local First Nations culture. Haisla carver Nathan Wilson began working on a raw log on February 11 which would become the pole, with a raven on top and a beaver at the bottom. “They represent unity and community within the Haisla clan system, those two work really well together,” he explained. He said it was an emotional day seeing everyone out for the celebration, from mentors to students who helped out during the carving process. “It’s very empowering, just feel very humbled at the whole experience,” he said. “This was my first pole raising, all the attention is set on me and it’s very rewarding. Like a big roller coaster of emotions.” “There was a lot of support,” he added.
This is a real, visual, concrete symbol of the work that we do behind the scenes, and have done for a number of years Katherine Johnsen The totem pole committee at the school was also ecstatic with the event. “This is a real, visual, concrete symbol of the work that we do behind the scenes, and have done for a number of years and continue to do,” said committee member Katherine Johnsen. Sheila Duncan said it’s a real symbol of unity, and also praised fellow committee member Gail Amos for her leadership. “If it wasn’t for her...I think I’d be running around with my head cut off. This thing all happened with her leadership.”

KITIMAT - After nearly 40 years of being in the marina business, the Kitimat-Stikine regional district is selling MK Bay Marina near Kitimat to the Haisla Nation.

Doug McLeod after an unsuccessful attempt to hold a referendum asking voters if they wished the regional district to continue ownership of the marina. The land holding is 1.6 ha with about twothirds of that amount consisting of a dredged out basin. The crown water lease is 4.54 ha with less than half of that amount currently used by the marina, said regional district administrator Bob Marcellin.

Exxonmobil becomes the latest member of BC LNG Alliance By Shaun Thomas
THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
PRINCE RUPERT - The BC LNG Alliance has a new member, one that is setting its sights directly on Prince Rupert. Exxonmobil, one of the partners in the WCC LNG terminal proposed for Lot 444 on Tuck Inlet, has joined its industry counterparts in pushing for what alliance president David Keane called a “safe, environmentally responsible and socially responsible LNG industry in British Columbia”. “ExxonMobil is one of the world’s leading corporations and it has been granted an export licence from the National Energy Board and has an option on a piece of foreshore on Tuck Inlet.
As you can see, the LNG Alliance is made up of industry leaders who bring decades of experience, insight and best practices to British Columbia. They also bring to B.C. a binding commitment of safety, environmental stewardship, community engagement and investment,” Keane said at the Nov. 19 meeting of the Prince Rupert and District Chamber of Commerce. And while the alliance has grown to seven project proponents — Exxonmobil, the BG Group, Pacific NorthWest LNG, Triton LNG, Kitimat LNG, Woodfibre LNG and LNG Canada — Keane again warned that B.C. must be “globally competitive” if it hopes to see positive investment decisions. “Since the launch of the alli-
Ridley expansion put on on hold By Shaun Thomas THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
PRINCE RUPERT- Facing a softening coal market and experiencing a nearly 40 per cent drop in volume year-over-year through the first 10 months of 2014, Ridley Terminals Inc. announced this week it would be delaying its planned expansion. The company is in the midst of an expansion that was to double its capacity from 12 million tonnes to 24 million tonnes, but RTI chairman Byng Giraud says those plans will now be put on hold once the terminal reaches a capacity of 18 million tonnes. “We don’t anticipate that we’ll need more than those 18 million tonnes a year for the next five years or so. But to say it’s all suspended is not exactly true. We need to be flexible should coal prices recover. Should things go better, we could ramp the expansion back up,” he said in an interview with the Globe and Mail. “This is still a profit-making and successful operation. Coal prices have gone down, and you have to reassess if it is the best time to unload the asset. You have to get the best value for the taxpayer.” The announcement comes after an October that saw volumes drop 49.44 per cent compared to last October.

ance we have seen the introduction of the LNG tax and greenhouse gas legislation. While our members appreciate the government revisiting its original tax structure, we still need certainty and clarity on how these two critical pieces of legislation will be implemented. The regulations have not yet been written,” he said, alluding to the many taxes and fees the industry will have to pay. “For our LNG projects to be viable we need to strike the right balance that enables British Columbians to receive fair value for the sale of their resources while, at the same time, recognizing the enormous technical and financial challenges of very large and complex projects with significant risk.”

Terrace could limit fireworks
Invitation for new members Rio Tinto Alcan wishes to expand the membership of its Public Advisory Committee.
By Josh Massey
THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
TERRACE - The city is looking to limit the timeframe of when fireworks can be set off around Halloween. The current fireworks bylaw allows for fireworks to be set off for one week before Hallowe’en and one week after but councillor Lynne Christiansen put forward a motion for staff to look into limiting the fireworks time gap to just one day. Seconded by councillor Bruce Bidgood, the motion is designed to protect animals. Christiansen said she knew of one person whose dog was run over after having been startled by the fireworks going off. By limiting the days the fireworks go off, pet owners could better look after their animals, she said. Christiansen does want the tradition to continue, because some community groups raise money by selling fireworks. Councillor James Cordeiro said that signs should be posted in the fireworks depots should the bylaw ever go through.
Since 1996, Rio Tinto Alcan’s BC Operations has had the pleasure of hosting a Public Advisory Committee. We have found it to be of value not only for Rio Tinto Alcan, but for our interested stakeholders as well. During this time of change for our Kitimat Operations, we wish to once again solicit new member organizations who may wish to participate, contribute and become more informed on matters related to Rio Tinto Alcan’s environmental stewardship in BC. This Rio Tinto Alcan committee typically meets on a quarterly basis in Kitimat and is open to representatives of local community organizations, agencies and not-forprofit associations. If your organization is interested in this opportunity, please submit an expression of interest to
bcops.communications@riotinto.com.

Seminar links students with LNG science, jobs By Martina Perry THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
PRINCE RUPERT - Prince Rupert students and community members learned about liquefied natural gas (LNG) and some career options and business opportunities it could provide during the LNG Energy Seminar last week. Hosted by the Province of British Columbia, the LNG Energy Seminar is being presented in communities around B.C., which included a stop at the North Coast Convention Centre in Prince Rupert on Nov. 18 and 19. “These seminars will connect people with the science and resources they need to understand our province’s future in natural gas development and export,” Rich Coleman, B.C.’s Minister of Natural Gas Development, said. The LNG Energy Seminar in-
cludes a Science World British Columbia presentation, WorkBC’s interactive Find Your Fit program, as well as demonstrations by LNG-Buy BC. A number of classes in the Prince Rupert School District attended the seminar, with students taking in the Science World Energy Show on the fundamentals of energy science and the methods of harnessing and transporting different energy sources. Students in Grades 6 to 10 were able to explore activity stations in the WorkBC Find Your Fit program, getting a feel for welding, carpentry, accounting and other required skills needed for in demand jobs in B.C. Community members attending the event were able to find out how to connect with business opportunities of the industry through the LNG-Buy BC project at the initiative’s booth.
Hikers rescued on Mount Hays after lengthy search By Martina Perry
THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
PRINCE RUPERT - After spending hours astray in the cold on Mount Hays, two off-track hikers were led to safety by a team of responders. The Prince Rupert RCMP received a call from an individual who said he and a friend became lost while hiking on the mountain shortly before 5 p.m. on Nov. 15. Cpl. Dave Tyreman, North District RCMP spokesperson, said the individuals weren’t prepared to spend the night. At the time, the temperature was -1 degree Celsius and the hikers didn’t have adequate clothing, food or water. GPS coordinates showed the individuals were located on the cut for the old ski hill and under the old line for the gondola. But the dirt road leading up Mount Hays was heavily washed out, preventing the use of vehicles in the search. The Provincial Emergency Program was immediately activated. An extensive search was conducted by Prince Rupert Ground Search and Rescue (SAR), members of the
Prince Rupert RCMP and the Prince Rupert Fire Department, searching both on foot and on ATVs. “Using tracking, light and sound search techniques, the hikers were located safely in dark and rugged terrain,” reads a post on the Prince Rupert Search and Rescue Facebook page. The off-track mountaineers were found shortly before 1:30 a.m. on Nov. 16. “After assessing the hikers, the team scouted a safe exit. They were greeted by RCMP, ambulance and friends,” the SAR Facebook post stated. RCMP are recognizing the dispatcher who answered the call, with Tyreman saying the dispatcher was key in the successful conclusion of the incident. “The operational communications operator received the original call and stayed in constant contact with the stranded hikers until they were rescued, more than eight hours later,” he said, adding the dispatcher relayed information between the hikers, RCMP and SAR members to keep them continually updated.

Terrace Waks channel Harlem Globetrotters in dominant win By Kevin Campbell THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
PRINCE RUPERT - With an absolutely dominating performance and a treat to watch for any spectator, the Terrace Waks got revenge on their Vancouver brethren, beating them 84-53 for the Senior Sen’s title at the All Native Qualifying Tournament on Saturday night to close out the competition. Suffering a loss to Vancouver earlier in the tourney, Terrace defeated Gitanyow to earn the right to face their opponents from down south in the final. And this time, a different Terrace team emerged. Led by Lyle Dirks, who scored close to 25 points in the match, Terrace had every player on the same page as each other, like they had been practicing for years. And while they know each other, Dirks said that’s not the case. “We don’t get too much practice time. We don’t get a lot of gym time in Terrace because most of them are rented out by the school teams and stuff like that so we have two dropin times a week and other than that, it’s mainly just the league we play in,” said Dirks after the game. Six players reached doubledigits for the Waks on Saturday, including their starting five of Dirks, Basil Morgan, Tyler Moore, Raymond Clayton and Andrew Nyce. Off the bench, Steven Vickers collected a handful of points as

on the team last year or the year before that and we’re just kind of bonding as a team,” said Dirks.
An almost Harlem Globetrotters-like performance from the Waks earned them a 30-9 lead and their ability to see the floor and find the open man or dish it to the outside was part of the recipe to their success. Morgan used his size to cut in below the net and fast, purposeful passes by Terrace had the Vancouver team playing catch-up all night. By the halfway point, Terrace had built themselves a 48-20 lead and were using fake-outs and deceitful looks to fool their opponents into going the wrong way. At game’s end, most players were trying their luck at threes on both sides and seeing which shots would fall. Jesse Ryan, Mike Bissonnette, Daniel Stewart and Wayne Dundas led the Vancouver side in a valiant attempt to stop the Waks, but the Terrace team just had too many balls hitting their mark from all over the court. If Vancouver tried a certain tactic to shut them down, Terrace adapted and changed up their strategy. “I was pretty relaxed this game,” said Dirks. “That’s (25 points) a season high for me actually,” he added. “I think we just really wanted to get that loss back we had the other day from this same team.” Gitanyow and Hartley Bay also took part in the Senior Men’s division tourney.
Kitimat runner can’t be slowed down By Cameron Orr
THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
KITIMAT - Ben Thorne can’t be slowed down. Kitimat’s premier racewalking athlete has turned his efforts on to cross-country running for the first time this year. University of Northern B.C.’s Thunderbirds’ sports information manager Wilson Wong alerted us to Thorne’s recent efforts at the A.I.I. Conference championship meet in Clinton, Iowa on November 8. There, said Wong, Thorne helped the UBC team claim a silver medal. Thorne himself finished in eighth place in the Mens’ 8000 metre run. Thorne finished with a time of 26:09.5. Two other British Columbia racers joined him in the top eight, Evan Elder fourth and Jack Williams in first.

Terrace teams take zones TERRACE - Ranked the highest they’ve been in years, Caledonia’s senior girls’ volleyball team is at AAA provincials in Parksville this week going headto-head with the best high school teams in the province. That’s after defeating the Charles Hays Rainmakers at the northwest AAA senior girls zones championship two weekends ago in Prince Rupert. The best-of-five match saw scores of 25-14, 25-12, and 2513 for the Kermodes. Caledonia all-stars were Preet Bath, Khali Pelletier and Cassidy Kitchen and game MVP was Carly Davies. “You can sure tell [Terrace] puts a lot of time into practising during the season and the fact that they have a club system that allows them to play all year is very evident,” said Rainmakers coach Jacqueline Jackson, after the game, speaking to the Prince Rupert Northern View. Caledonia is travelling to Parksville today, ranked eighth in the province – “best ranking Caledonia senior girls have had in years,” said coach Carmen Didier. Games started yesterday, with games in the B pool against Surrey’s Clayton Heights, Richmond’s High McRoberts and Timberline from Campbell River. And the Caledonia Jr. girls volleyball team won the zone finals over Skeena Middle School’s junior team in Smithers last weekend. “Both teams did very well in the round robin portion of the tournament defeating Bulkley Valley Christian School (Smithers), Ebeneezer Christina Reformed School (Smithers) and Smithers Secondary in two straight games,” wrote Caledonia coach Adri MacKay in an email earlier this week. “So after being ranked #1 and #2 all season the two teams met in the final – where Caledonia came out on top winning in two games. “This match-up was expected and did not disappoint as both teams played well and a high caliber of volleyball was displayed,” she said. Mya Siemens of Caledonia and Jaycee Neid from Skeena, were chosen as tournament Allstars while Correina McNeice from Caledonia was chosen as the tournament’s Most Valuable Player.
