The Nisga’a Lisims Government was a major contributor.

Bomb threat shuts down Rupert core By Shaun Thomas

WE SPEAK ENGLISH, FRENCH & CANCER.

THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT Traffic into the downtown core was funneled through 3rd Avenue West on Nov. 26 following a bomb threat at Safeway. RCMP responded to a call from an employee shortly after 1 p.m. The staff member said they received a call from an unknown person regarding “a suspicious item being inside the building”. While never confirming the item, multiple staff sources indicated it was a bomb threat in the store. Based on the risk involved, RCMP evacuated Safeway, 7/11 and the BC Liquor Store and, with assistance from the Prince Rupert fire department, blocked access to the entire 100 block of 1st and 2nd Avenue West for the duration of the investigation. A police service dog was brought in to conduct a search of the building. After an extensive search of Safeway that lasted until approximately 1:30 a.m. on Nov. 27, officers deemed the business to

Ferry dock replacement raises “Buy American” concerns By Shaun Thomas

THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - Requirements that materials used in the replacement of the Alaska Ferry dock in Prince Rupert be produced in the U.S. are raising red flags throughout the country’s manufacturing industry. Because the $10 million to $15 million project is being funded by taxpayer dollars through the U.S. Federal Department of Transportation it falls under the Buy American policy, which means all iron and steel products must be manufactured in the United States. But because the terminal is located on land owned by the Prince Rupert Port

Authority, the Canadian Manufacturers and Exporters (CME) say the policy is unfairly hurting Canadian companies. “An issue as contentious as Buy American protectionism appearing on federal land in B.C. demands our attention. All municipalities across B.C., and especially the city council of Prince Rupert, should adopt a reciprocity policy for all their infrastructure procurement contracts,” said CME vicepresident Marcus Ewert-Johns. “Someone has to step up for Canada here. This type of protectionist policy has no place in a trade relationship as strong as that between Canada and America,” added CME president and CEO Jayson Myers.

The situation has caught the attention of International Trade Minister Ed Fast, who said his ministry is “aware of and deeply concerned by” the Buy American policy being used on port authority land. “This situation, occurring shortly following the Morrison, Colorado, bridge debacle, is yet another example of how illogical and counterproductive it is to try to segregate our economies. The extraterritorial application of these protectionist restrictions on trade within Canada by a foreign government is unreasonable,” he said. Skeena – Bulkley Valley MP Nathan Cullen is asking the government to make sure the Buy American policy applies to this proj-

ect. “You can understand their [Prince Rupert residents] surprise and total frustration that a ferry terminal operating on their port, on Canadian federal Crown land, will be subject to Buy American policies,” Cullen said. “No Canadian steel or iron will be used ... this is a direct result of Conservatives’ failure to stand up for Canada.” Correction: The “Celebrating Northern B.C. Artists” event hosted by Ridley Terinals on Dec. 5 is at the Museum of Northern B.C., not the Big Fish Building as noted in the Winterfest insert.

Miners change name TORONTO - The company working on developing a molybdenum mine at Kitsault on the north coast is changing its name. Avanti Mining Inc. is now to be known as Alloycorp Mining Inc. to better reflect its overall plan of producing steel alloys through its production of molybdenum. The change will “effect greater public awareness and recognition of the business conducted by the company,” said company president Gordon Bogden. Shareholders approved of the change at a meeting held Nov. 28. At the same time,

the company has also announced a change in its senior executive ranks. Jeff Lowe, who had been president of Avanti Kitsault Mines, the subsidiary owned by Alloycorp which is developing the Kitsault project, is retiring the end of December. His replacement as chief operating officer and president is Peter Mah, says Gordon Bogden, president of Alloycorp. Mah is a professional engineer with over 23 years of practical mine operations and development experience spanning project studies, construction and opera-

tions management with some of the industry’s largest major producers. Most recently, Mah was the Chief Operating Officer and Executive Vice President at Luna Gold Corporation. Mah was responsible for the operations of the company’s primary asset, the Aurizona Gold Mine in Maranhão Brazil. Prior to this, Mah worked at Newmont Mining Corporation as Group Executive, responsible for the strategic business development of early stage global gold projects. And prior to Newmont, Mah served as the General Manager of the De Beers Victor Mine,

Ontario’s first diamond mine, where he led the development of the operating team during construction and operations. In the meantime, the company continues work at the project site in preparation for a full construction start once its final financing is in place. Some of that work involves expanding accommodation for the construction workforce. The construction period will provide hundreds of jobs and operations over a planned 15-year life will result in more employment directly and indirectly at the mine site and elsewhere in the region.

The Best Childcare Plan Have you read about the “affordable” childcare plan being promoted by Thomas Mulcair and Nathan Cullen? It sounds so easy, doesn’t it? Socialists are always looking for ways to warehouse your children so both parents can work and pay taxes for their socialist schemes. Wouldn’t it be better if young children could have the benefit and security of being raised in their own home, spending quality time with at least one parent? The best childcare comes from the parents who brought them into the world. The Christian Heritage Party would provide $1,000 per month to families where one parent is caring for their school-age and younger children in their own home instead of working outside the home. This would free up many jobs for young people entering the workforce and would reduce unemployment. This benefit would also be available to couples caring for an aging parent or a disabled family member. Which would you prefer? Higher taxes for state-run childcare or a helping hand so you can raise you own children? Check out CHP Canada’s Family Care Allowance. www.chp.ca

Rice receives promise of equality for cabins By Shaun Thomas THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - North Coast MLA Jennifer Rice says she has a written promise from Transportation Minister Todd Stone to ensure fairness when it comes to the cost of cabins on trips to Haida Gwaii and the Inside Passage. Rice first brought the issue up in the Legislature on Nov. 25, directly asking Stone why the practice exists. “The Inside Passage and Haida Gwaii ferry routes are often overnight trips. For [Inside Passage] sleeping quarters it is $90, but if you use a wheelchair it is $120. The Minister of Transportation has claimed he is trying to do what he can to ‘ensure the fares are as affordable as can be’ so ... why are people who use wheelchairs being discriminated against with this unfair extra fee,” she asked. Stone responded saying Rice could speak to him further about specific concerns, and the next day Rice said the minister verbally agreed. The following day, Rice said she received a letter from Stone indicating he would reverse the practice of charging passengers in wheelchairs the $120 fee for a cabin, as the more expensive outside cabins are the only ones that are wheelchair accessible. BC Ferries spokesperson Deborah Marshall said the extra $30 was not meant to discriminate, but was “an oversight” in the design of the Northern Adventure and Northern Expedition. “We have inside cabins and outside cabins and the outside cabins have a window and view so they cost $120. On both vessels, the only wheelchair accessible cabins are outside cabins,” she said, noting the issue will be brought forward to disable passengers this winter.

This year’s vaccine may come up short

Gives you wings …

By Jeff Nagel

THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

CAMERON ORR/ THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

KITIMAT — In the centre is Theresa Fredrickson, winner of the Kitimat Seniors Association’s Christmas Bazaar raffle, which won Fredrickson two tickets on Hawkair. She is joined by the Senior Centre’s crafting group.

VICTORIA - This year’s flu shot may prove less effective than usual because the dominant virus now circulating has mutated significantly in the months since the vaccine was devised. The H3N2 strain – one of three targeted in this year’s flu vaccine – is thought to have changed its genetic makeup enough to possibly thwart the antibodies that the vaccine activates. Dr. Danuta Skowronski, an epidemiologist with the B.C. Centre for Disease Control, is still recommending the vaccine, particularly for the elderly, the chronically ill and those with compromised immune systems. “It’s not a perfect match,” she said. “But for the high risk, even an imperfectly matched vaccine is going to give cross protection. And for some people it could be life-saving.” he said the H3N2 strain tends to be particularly nasty to the elderly and may bring a deadlier flu season than usual. “We may see more hospitalizations or deaths this year,” Skowronski said. She said it’s particularly concerning that the flu has struck B.C. surprisingly early this season, causing outbreaks in eight seniors’ care homes.

Environmental Assessment of the Proposed Terminal A Extension Project

Open House and Invitation to Comment Rio Tinto Alcan (Proponent) is proposing an extension to the existing marine terminal and construction of a barge ramp, tug dock and laydown facility. The proposed Terminal A Extension Project (proposed Project) is to be located at the Port of Kitimat and within proximity to the District of Kitimat and the Haisla Nation Kitamaat Village. The proposed Project is subject to review under British Columbia’s Environmental Assessment Act. The Proponent must obtain an environmental assessment certificate before any work can be undertaken on the proposed Project. However, prior to submission of an application (Application) for an environmental assessment certificate by the Proponent, Environmental Assessment Office of British Columbia (EAO) must first approve the Application Information Requirements. Key to the Application Information Requirements is the identification of Valued Components to be studied and the areas within which the studies would occur. The selected Valued Components are presented in the draft Valued Components document which the Proponent has prepared and EAO invites the public to submit comments on. In order to provide information about the Valued Component selection, EAO invites the public to attend an Open House, to be held as follows: Kitimat Valley Institute 1352 Alexander Ave., Kitimat, BC on: Tuesday, December 9, 2014 from: 4:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.

at:

There are 35 days for the submission of comments by the public in relation to the draft Valued Components document. The comment period will begin on December 4, 2014 and end on January 8, 2015. All comments received during this comment period in relation to the draft Valued Components document will be considered.

NOTE:

The intention of seeking public comments is to ensure that all potential effects – environmental, economic, social, heritage and health – that might result from the proposed Project are identified for consideration as part of the assessment process. At this stage of the process, the primary intent is to receive feedback about the studies or information required for a comprehensive environmental assessment. EAO accepts public comments through the following ways: • By Online Form at http://www.eao.gov.bc.ca/pcp/index.html • By Mail: Teresa Morris Project Assessment Manager Environmental Assessment Office PO Box 9426 Stn Prov Govt Victoria BC V8W 9V1 • By Fax: Fax: 250-387-2208 An electronic copy of the Valued Components document will be available at www.eao.gov.bc.ca by the start of the public comment period. Copies of the Valued Components document will also be available for viewing at these locations: Rio Tinto Alcan’s Community Office 254 City Centre Mall Kitimat, BC and

Kitimat Community Library 940 Wakashan Ave. Kitimat, BC

If you are unable to participate at this time, there will be an additional comment period during the Application Review stage when you will also be able to provide comments to EAO on the proposed Project.

All submissions received by EAO during the comment period in relation to the proposed Project are considered public and will be posted to the EAO website.

Regional district opposes rock quarry By Shaun Thomas THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - A proposal to place a rock quarry on Smith Island ran into staunch opposition when it came before the board of the Skeena – Queen Charlotte Regional District.

Pacific Rim LNG is planning to create a 124.7 hectare rock quarry development capable of producing 200,000 tonnes of construction rock per year for the next 20 years on the west side of the island at the mouth of the Skeena River. While the plan calls for a 30 metre buffer between the quarry and shore, where three barge docks would be located, directors at the meeting felt the location of the quarry was simply unacceptable. “Smith Island is one of the most heavily fished areas of the Skeena estuary in terms of the gillnet and

seine fishery. This project will have significant impacts on those fisheries both in terms of the upland effects from blasting and drilling. This is a significant migration route for mature and juvenile salmon and the three proposed barge loading facilities at the foreshore will have significant impacts on those drifts as well ... I cannot see allowing this to go forward because it will impact an economic activity that we already enjoy and is productive,” said director Des Nobels, who also questioned the motives of the proponent. “They indicate they are going to take a limited amount of rock out of this area to avoid an environmental assessment and then at the end of the project they suggest this site would be available for industrial use. There is already a great deal of

uproar and concern around the Petronas project, which is within the Skeena estuary. This is one thing people fear, that we will continue to see the industrialization of that estuary. Allowing this and the Petronas project would set a precedent and that would be the end of the area.” Area C director Karl Bergman added his voice to that of opposition to the quarry proposal. “It isn’t just the commercial fishery, it is a heavily used area recreationally. We also have the powerline that runs through there over to Porcher Island and Kitkatla” he said. “There are a lot of other places this can go. If you put the quarry there it is going to be highly visible. This is right out at the front of Smith Island ... it’s really a poorly chosen site as far as every day

Hawkair goes back to Rupert morning flights By Shaun Thomas THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT Hawkair is moving away from its early morning departure, returning to a mid-afternoon flight from Prince Rupert for the winter schedule. The company made the announcement on Nov. 28, with the change taking effect on Dec. 1. Hawkair had previously flown out of Prince Rupert at 8 a.m, five days per week, returning from Vancouver at approximately 5:45 p.m., but will be leaving Prince Rupert at 1:15 p.m. and returning at 10:45 a.m. the following day, Monday to Friday. On Sundays, Hawkair will fly out of Vancouver at 5 p.m. and depart from the Prince Rupert airport at 7:30 p.m. Jocelyn Lebell, di-

rector of corporate services for Hawkair, said the change came about following feedback from passengers. “We listened to feedback from the community that the lack of frequency of Fridays and Sundays made it difficult for them to travel with us,” she said. “We took a look at our schedule and found a way to increase service to meet the needs of our guests looking to travel to Prince Rupert or Vancouver for the weekend.” The early morning flights, which were introduced in part to meet the demands of business passengers, could be making a return next year. “We will analyze the market performance in the New Year and plan to increase capacity as the demand forecast indicates,” Jay Dilley, Hawkair president, said.

use goes.” Dan Franzen of Port Edward also questioned the need for another rock quarry in the area, with several already operating on the

North Coast. “Right now they are all idle and just waiting to see who is going to go first. It’s getting a little out of control,” he said.

First Nations offered millions for pipeline construction TERRACE - First Nations stand to earn millions from having natural gas pipelines cross over their traditional territories from northeastern gas fields to liquefied natural gas (LNG) plants on the coast. So far the province is offering $10 million per year for each of four natural gas pipeline routes now being planned to be divided up among applicable First Nations once those pipelines are in operation. It’s also offering signing bonuses and pipeline construction milestone payments to those same First Nations. Speaking last week, provincial natural gas development minister Rich Coleman said the provincial money is intended as one way for First Nations to benefit from what could be a significant industrial base for decades. “The First Nations side is coming along very well,” said Coleman of the provincial monetary package being offered as part of the province’s overall LNG

strategy. The Nisga’a Nation, using its 2000 land claims agreement with the federal and provincial governments as a foundation, has already signed onto one route – Prince Rupert Gas Transmission owned by TransCanada Pipelines, a 900 km 48-inch pipeline to feed PacificNorthwest LNG, a facility Malyasian-owned Petronas wants to build on Lelu Island near Prince Rupert. The Nisga’a are to receive $1.014 million right away and $5.07 million divided into two equal instalments – one when construction of the pipeline has begun and the second when the first gas starts to flow. These payments are in addition to a separate benefits agreement the Nisga’a Nation has signed with TransCanada and separate to any tax revenues the Nisga’a would receive from the pipeline as it crosses through Nisga’a Lands. Provincial information indicates the same basic package of a signing bonus and construc-

tion milestone payments as accepted by the Nisga’a is being offered to each and every First Nation along the four pipeline routes now being planned. Coleman did stress that other than the signing bonuses being offered, no money will be paid out until the province starts receiving taxation revenue from LNG developments. “What these are are back-end loaded agreements,” said Coleman. “As the revenue comes in, that’s what we’ll then share.” At last count, there are more than 20 First Nations, for example, who have traditional territory along the Prince Rupert Gas Transmission route. Citing confidentiality of ongoing negotiations with First Nations, provincial government officials would not release how much money each of the First Nations would receive for construction payments. But if the Nisga’a are to receive $6 million for the 83 kilometres of the 900 kilometre

pipeline which would pass through their core lands, the overall dollar amount would be substantial. The other three pipeline projects to which payments would apply

Prince Rupert athletes headline hot streaks off home turf By Kevin Campbell THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT With Thompson Rivers’ (TRU) first foray into the CIS swimming arena, Sarah McChesney earned the school a more than respectable showing at the recent Canada West swim championships in Lethbridge, Alberta. The first-year Wolfpack student swam a personal best in the 400 metre freestyle with a 4:46.14 and ended up in 14th. In the 100 metre freestyle consolation final, the freshman took fifth with a time of 1:00.15. With the two swims, McChesney helped TRU to an eighth-overall placing in the Canada West women’s competition. Meanwhile, Frank Slubowski’s Western Michigan University Broncos compiled an 8-2 win over defending NCAA national champion Union on Saturday to take the fifth annual Shillelagh Tournament, hosted by Notre Dame. The Broncos also defeated Ohio State 6-2

in the first game of the tournament to earn the right to face Union in the final. While the Rupertite Slubowski did not himself play – the Broncos opted for their other netminding choice, Lukas Hafner – his Broncos have witnessed a turnaround as of late. With those two tournament

wins, the Broncos broke a two-game winless streak where they lost to Miami 1-0 and 5-2 entering the tourney. Slubowski is 1-3-0 (W-L-OTL) with a 3.29 GAA and .878 SV% in four games with the Broncos this year. In the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League (KIJHL),

Braydon Horcoff is riding a two-game point streak with the Beaver Valley Nitehawks after assisting on a goal against Creston Valley and scoring versus the Grand Forks Border Bruins. Horcoff has already surpassed his previous season-high total of 15 points with 17 in just 27 games played this year, including five goals. Devin Oakes has re-

corded six points in 27 games with his Merritt Centennials in the British Columbia Hockey League (BCHL) while Tyler Ostrom has the same number in 28 games with Osoyoos of the KIJHL. Brady Ward also has six points under his belt with the KIJHL’s 100 Mile House Wranglers,

including three goals. In badminton action, top-seeded Adrian Liu and his men’s doubles partner Derrick Ng fell in the quarter-finals of the 2014 Yonex Welsh International to England’s Matt Nottingham and Harvey Towler 220, 21-15 and the English duo would go on to win the tourney title on Sat-

urday. That wasn’t the first time Liu had seen Nottingham and Towler. Just over a week before the Welsh International, Liu and Ng participated in the 2014 Scottish Open in Glasgow where the pair would fall to the same Englishmen 23-21, 22-0, again in the quarter-finals.

She worked at the school rolling 45 gallon drums of oil up a hill, at the bar in Port Essington “slinging beer” as she said and as a post mistress in Haysport. Before looking for work in Terrace, she use to work on a commercial fishing boat with her husband. In Terrace she worked at a chicken farm, potato farm, continued net mending and did beading, selling First Nations jewellery. She started at the House of Sim-oi-Ghets in 1974 and worked there till forced retirement in 2010 due to medical issues. She made sure she could always provide for her young children and family after h e r husband passed away in 1974. We were fortunate to have Dr. Iyayi and hospital staff at Mills Memorial Hospital provide such dedicated care to her over the past 4 year, especially the last 7 months. Victoria will always be remembered for her community involvement, for hosting dinners up to 600 people, as long as she had her cooks; Lori and Verna. She would also organize community fundraisers for the children’s Christmas and Halloween parties in Kitsumkalum. She was a lot of things to a lot of people, she always made sure her family was fed and made sure her pets would continue to have a roof over their head after she passed. She will forever be in our hearts and deeply missed.

Rupert takes two zone titles

Torch in Terrace tomorrow

By Kevin Campbell THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - Winning three games out of four isn’t bad in its own right, but taking the title from the first-ranked school in your region? Now that’s just sweet. So accomplished the Grade 8 boys Prince Rupert Middle School’s (PRMS) Storm volleyball team in late November, with a two-game sweep of Bulkley Valley Christian School (BVCS) to claim the 2014 zones championship for the area school. “It was back and forth for the first little bit against BVCS and then PRMS just ended up winning,” said sponsor teacher Denise Wilson. With Liam McChesney taking home Most Valuable Player (MVP) honours and Eric Lees grabbing an all-star nod, the Storm conquered schools around the region including teams from Terrace and Smithers on their way to the championship. The win came on the heels of the Charles Hays (CHSS) junior girls Rainmaker volleyball squad taking the ‘B’ zone championship in mid-November when they downed Hazelton for the title. Coached by Nancy Le and Jade Rowse, the Charles Hays junior girls’ volleyball Rainmakers learned a lot from the two, and CHSS teacher Danielle Dueck mentioned that the team wouldn’t have gotten far without the guidance of Le and Rowse. “They did a fabulous job preparing the girls for zones,” said Dueck in an email. “It was awesome that the girls got two coaches because it meant they had twice the support and feedback.” The Rainmakers beat Hazelton

The PRMS Storm celebrate their zones victory.

TERRACE - Terrace will, quite literally, be illuminated this Saturday when the 2015 Canada Winter Games Torch Relay comes to town. That’s because the day-long event will finish with a fireworks finale in George Little Park, beginning at 8 p.m. following the Festival of Lights, that starts at 6 p.m. The day begins at Kitsumkalum at 2 p.m. for the relay through town, going by the Sportsplex and up and down Lakelse/Lazelle before ending at the park, where there will be speeches. Live entertainment, featuring the fittingly-named band Bright City Heights will also be on hand at the park. Olympian Caleb Brousseau will be speaking on behalf of the torchbearers at the ceremony. Other northwest torchbearers relaying in Terrace are as follows: Shirley Belisle, Anne Berrisford, Seamus Damstrom, Joe Ellis, Josh Eli Grant, Cormac Hikisch, Travis Hutchings, Nick Kollias, Jennifer Kuehne, Trevor Mack, Dominque Melanson, Yvonne Moen, Terry Monture, Helen Nikal, Jasper Nolos, Harry Nyce Sr., Elizabeth (Izzie) Patrick, Kimberly Patten, and Luke Strimbold. It’s all part of the torch’s journey thousands of kilometers across northern B.C. leading up to the 2015 Games Opening Ceremonies on February 13 in Prince George.

in three games straight in their bestof-five contest to take the Northwest 2014 “B” title in November. “Another cool thing that the junior girls commented on when we were heading back from Hazelton was that these two were the ‘real’ MVPs of the season. It was a

great thing to hear from [them] because they were so appreciative of all the work Nancy and Jade put in to make the team like family and to work as a unit rather than just a random group,” said Dueck. With the volleyball, boys’ soccer and rugby sevens season over,

the Northwest high school sports scene will now turn to basketball, wrestling, curling and skiing for the winter semester. The junior and senior boys and girls’ basketball squads have already been practicing, gearing up for the 2014-15 season.
