No oil in LNG pipelines, says gov’t By Josh Massey THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

TERRACE - Those critical of the planned LNG industry have one less argument in their toolbox. Or so it would seem now that the BC government has introduced a new regulation to prevent LNG pipelines from being converted for oil transport, a concern expressed by several groups since 2013. A release from the Ministry of Natural Gas Development says the new regulation will ease worries “expressed during environmental assessments and by First Nations about the long-term pipeline use.” Diluted bitumen is consid-

ered more hazardous in the case of a spill than gas which disperses into the air and some feared that acceptance of gas pipelines could be parlayed into a thumbs up to bitumen pipelines down the road. Attached to the Oil and Gas Activities Act, the new regulation “prohibits the BC Oil and Gas Commission from permitting any conversion of a natural gas pipeline supplying an LNG facility,” says the government release. But concerned groups say this new regulation falls short. A more permanent measure would be to actually legislate the new rule within the Oil and Gas Activities Act, says Greg Knox of SkeenaWild Conservation Trust.

Knox points to a May 2014 letter from Natural Gas Development Minister Rich Coleman saying the government was examining this option. Addressed to the Office of the Wet’suwet’en First Nation, Coleman wrote that “we are working on potential preferred legal mechanism, including through legislation, to prohibit potential pipeline conversions.” Knox said First Nations and organizations such as his see the new regulation as backing down from stronger, longer term measures hinted at in the letter. He said government should make the regulation law if it wants to fully ease the concerns of those worried about oil coming through the

lines in the long term. “It was easy for the government to put in this regulation, therefore it is easy to undo,” said Knox. “There are several natural gas pipelines in North America that have been converted to oil pipelines in the past so it is feasible and done sometimes,” said Knox. “We were concerned that if companies couldn’t get natural gas flowing through their lines that they might be looking to put bitumen and oil through.” The regulation applies to all six of the major pipelines proposed for transporting natural gas from shale deposits in the northeast to planned export facilities on the coast.

Northwest property values up By Cameron Orr THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

KITIMAT - The assessed roll value of properties in Kitimat jumped substantially for the 2015 figures. BC Assessment revealed that among all classifications, Kitimat’s property values rose 34.76 per cent, from $1,467,317,000 to $1,977,342,000. The residential roll specifically in Kitimat jumped higher, up 42.46 per cent, from $786,357,000, to $1,120,274,000. The value of an average single family home in Kitimat went from $227,000 to $316,000 Kitimat actually only came in second place to communities with the largest roll increase over all classifications. The District of Port Edward edged ahead of Kitimat’s 34.67 per cent increase, with a 26.61 per cent increase. Still, their actual dollar amount isn’t as high, with their roll at just over $106 million. Kitimat’s over $1.9 billion wins that race, and also tops out at the highest value. Terrace, by comparison, saw

it’s roll rise by 30.61 per cent. Their average assessed value for a single family home is $317,000, up from $244,000. BC Assessment Deputy Assessor Geoff Radtke said the assessed values are not decided on using speculation, so the prospect of major projects starting in 2015 didn’t weigh in to their accounting. What does is actual sales records through the year. “BC Assessment doesn’t value properties based on speculation,” he said. “We actually review sales evidence.” The results come from the value of properties based on the sale of similar properties around the valuation date of July 1, 2014. District of Kitimat Treasurer Steve Christiansen said that overall Kitimat will be ‘saved’ due to Terrace sharing a nearly as heavy rise. That’s because when it comes to regional taxes — such as school and hospital taxes — the communities most heavily burdened are ones with large assessed increases. Kitimat took on the lion share of those taxes last year but now the burden can be more evenly

shared. Kitimat sets local property tax rates, but also collect on behalf of the other taxing authorities. Kitimat’s flat tax, which accounts for about 60 per cent of a tax bill, also helps even out any wild fluctuations, said Christiansen. Kitimat Council will be setting the next year’s tax rates later this year, but based on the previously established five-year plan for the town, local property tax rates are likely to increase around three per cent. “If we follow the pattern... then it would be a three per cent increase for 2015 for the general, municipal portion,” he said, adding other tax rates have not been set, so he does not know what the eventual total tax bill will be for residents. Also, any potential increase or decrease to a tax bill will follow how much they deviate for the average. If a person’s home goes up over the 34 per cent average set by BC Assessment they might see a sharper bill increase, while those below the average could see a drop in the tax bill.

KRISTY ORR/ THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

KITIMAT - Even the dog? The annual Polar Bear Swim, these days organized by Trevor Amos for the boat launch at the Kitamaat Village Marina, was done as usual on January 1 at noon. The icy plunge provided a very quick pick-me-up to participants, followed by hot chocolate and hot dogs around a fire.

HAFI Funds Home Modifications for Disabled Man When Lorie and Walter bought their home in Port Alberni 13 years ago they slowly began renovating the unfinished basement to accommodate Walter’s changing needs as his muscular dystrophy advanced. “The basement was a black hole when we moved in,” recalled Walter. “After 12 years of skimping and saving, we made the downstairs completely wheelchair accessible, except for the bathroom. It was way too small. I could only stand for about a minute and a half without collapsing in the shower stall and I could no longer pull myself out of the tub in the upstairs’ bathroom, even with Lorie’s help.” Through funding from BC Housing’s Home Adaptations for Independence (HAFI) program, Walter and Lorie were able to work with a contractor to transform the space. A wall was removed to make room for a wheelin shower with benches, grab bars were installed, and the vanity and fixtures were relocated.

New Year’s Eve party ends in shooting

By Martina Perry THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - In the early morning hours of New Year’s, Prince Rupert RCMP responded to an assault that had occurred at a Hays Vale Drive residence. When RCMP arrived at the scene on Jan. 1 at approximately 5:25 a.m. they were met by several occupants that had been suffering from the effects of what was believed to be bear spray. One individual had also been shot, the first shooting case Prince Rupert RCMP say they have dealt with in more than seven years.

Witnesses told RCMP there had been a New Year’s Eve party taking place the previous evening. In the early morning, two suspects entered the home and bear sprayed the occupants inside and shot one person. The victim of the shooting was transported to Prince Rupert Regional Hospital to undergo treatment for a non-life threatening gunshot wound. “Currently this is an active and unfolding investigation,” said Const. Matt Ericson, spokesperson for the Prince Rupert RCMP. “While we do not have any suspects in

custody, we are confident in stating that this was a targeted event, and there is no indication that the public is at risk.” As of Monday morning Prince Rupert RCMP were not providing any additional details on the incident, but stated as information becomes available police may update the community. A suspect still had not been taken into custody on Monday. Prince Rupert RCMP is asking anyone with information regarding the incident to contact the Prince Rupert RCMP Detachment at 250-627-0700 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

RCMP ‘hair straight back’ busy on Dec. 31 TERRACE - Terrace RCMP were very busy New Year’s Eve of 2014. The 12 hour period from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. saw police responding to approximately 33 calls – 11 people were lodged in Terrace cells, six of these people for intoxication. “The combination of people celebrating the holidays, excessive alcohol consumption, and ice rain on the highways kept us very busy responding to all manners of calls. We were prepared with extra members on shift, but nonetheless it was hair straight back for everyone all night,” says Cpl. Shawn McLaughlin, Non Commissioned Officer in Charge of D Watch. A blue 1998 Ford F150 truck was pulled over for going 147 km/hr in a 100 km/hr zone on Hwy 37 near Onion Lake. The 27-year-old driver was issued an excessive speeding violation and the truck he was driving was impounded. Domestic dispute. A 40-year-old man fled the scene but was located by police and

arrested for assault, breaching a condition of probation of not to be in contact with the woman, and obstructing a police officer. He was held for court. Checks determined that the woman was also breaching a condition of her probation of not to consume alcohol. The 37-year-old woman was arrested and held for court. An intoxicated man yelled and intimidated a worker at the Damp Shelter on Sparks St. Police arrested the 52-year-old man. A blue 2000 Pontiac Montana slid off the road, down an embankment, and came to rest on the railroad tracks near the 100 km marker on Hwy 16 west. The 30-yearold driver escaped from the vehicle, which was then struck by a train that was unable to stop in time to avoid the collision. No injuries. Police responded to a call of a suicidal man. While investigating this complaint, a police officer was assaulted by a 40-yearold woman who was arrested. Charges are

being forwarded to Crown Counsel. A taxi driver was assaulted by a fare. A group of taxi drivers apprehended the man and held him for police. Police arrested the intoxicated 24-year-old man. Under investigation. A brown 2001 GMC Jimmy lost control, hit the ditch, and went down a steep embankment on Hwy 37 south of Lakelse Lake Rd. The 23-year-old driver was uninjured. A party with underage drinking was shut down on Laurel Ave. Police observed a man walking down Lakelse Ave matching the description of a person just recently released from Prince George Regional Correction Centre on probation conditions of adhering to a curfew. Checks were done. Investigation determined that the man provided a false name to police and he was breaching his curfew condition. The man was arrested and held for court.

Pacific NorthWest LNG, which is majorityowned by Petronas, the Malaysian state-owned energy giant, wants to build a LNG plant of two parts, each able to produce six million tonnes per annum of the super-cooled product.

pet of the week

TERRACE - A major energy company may be delaying its decision on whether or not to spend billions on a liquefied natural gas plant near Port Edward but that hasn’t stopped it from wrapping up business arrangements with local governments and First Nations. The Kitselas First Nation and Pacific NorthWest LNG announced Dec. 22 an impact management benefits agreement term sheet has been signed. It’s been described as an “integral step toward concluding negotiations and finalizing an agreement between the two parties.” “Our agreement with Pacific NorthWest LNG addresses the environmental and social safeguards we require in negotiations, as well as the delivery of economic, employment and educational benefits for our community,” said Kitselas Chief Councillor Joe Bevan. “These core components mean substantial benefits for our community – now and in years to come.” Pacific NorthWest LNG concluded negotiations for a term sheet with the Metlakatla First Nation last month and has also reached a taxation agreement with Port Edward. Pacific NorthWest official Krissy Van Loon anticipated the company signing up to six benefits agreements with First Nations who have inter-

ANNUAL GENERAL Fantasic 4 win Winter MEETING

Solstice tournament By Kevin Campbell

THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - While most tend to count the days until summer’s long days and bright evenings, a little darkness was a welcoming sign for athletes across Prince Rupert on Dec. 21. Volleyball was the name of the game for teens and adults alike for the 2014 Winter Solstice 4-on-4 Charity Tournament, hosted by Charles Hays Secondary School. Thirteen teams took part with 10 entering the adult division and three comprising the juniors. The double elimination format saw the junior team of Medalana Jardim, Brittany Waite, Brooke Andreesen, Tanveen Sahdra and Har-

jyot Sidhu defeat Liam McChesney, Daniel Cachero, Henry Vu and Seji Sahdra 25-17, 18-25, 15-12. After 23 matches between the 10 adult teams, the finalists of Fantastic 4 and Team SensAsians... plus Kyle battled it out for volleyball supremacy.

Examples of when not to call a 9-1-1 dispatcher given By Jeff Nagel

THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

VICTORIA - Do not call 911 because your slice of pizza has gone stale. Nor is it an emergency if Wi-Fi at the coffee shop isn’t working or you’ve lost your glasses. Those are some of the most bizarrely inappropriate 911 calls made in B.C. in 2014, according to a top 10 list released by E-Comm, southwest B.C.’s emergency communications centre. Besides complaining about the quality of takeout food, many bozo 911 callers appear to think emergency dispatchers can double as an information service, wanting to know everything from whether it’s a stat holiday to the phone numbers for taxis or travel agents. E-Comm spokesperson Jody Robertson said people who make “nuisance calls” to 911 tie up valuable resources for people with real lifeand-death emergencies, potentially putting lives at risk. “These kinds of calls come in every day pretty much all day long,” she said.

There isn’t an accurate count of how many there are, but Robertson said it’s “way too many.” Nor can E-Comm staff instantly disconnect those calls – they have to be alert to the possibility that a caller feels threatened by someone nearby and is concocting a cover story so it doesn’t seem like they’ve dialed 911. The same sorts of scenarios – is the caller silent because of a nearby assailant or because they’ve had a heart attack – are on the minds of E-Comm staff when they get a pocket-dialed call or an accidental call where the caller hangs up. Call-takers must phone back to make sure the person is okay, and if the call came from a landline and they can’t be reached, police are dispatched. “Those kinds of calls can chew up a lot of resources unnecessarily.” The number of pocket-dialed 911 calls is running at about 70,000 a year, while another 30,000 are accidental calls where the caller hangs up without explaining to staff. She said the most

frequent “head-scratcher” calls are ones seeking basic information, adding calls to report or seek information about power outages are a major recurring problem.

True emergencies are police, fire or medical situations that require immediate action because someone’s health, safety or property is in jeopardy or a crime is in progress.

Now, the top list of reasons to not call 911: 1. Wi-Fi at a local coffee shop isn’t working 2. “What’s the fine for jay walking?” 3. Pizza not fresh;

wants a replacement slice 4. “What’s the number for my travel agency?” 5. Caller phoned 9-1-1 to ask for a taxi referral

6. “Is today a stat holiday?” 7. Food they ordered is cold 8. Wants help finding lost glasses 9. Home Internet is not working

The Q.C. designation is an honour conferred annually on members of the legal profession to recognize exceptional merit and contribution. In addition, recipients must have been members of the B.C. bar for at least five years. The appointments were made by cabinet through an order-incouncil. Whonnock has served on the executive of the Canadian Bar Association of BC Aboriginal lawyers forum, and on the executive of the

Among the 32 lawyers who were given the Q.C. designation are those who have prosecuted high-profile criminal cases, family, civil and commercial law cases. Many of the appointees have also advocated for seniors and the disabled, and have given back to their communities through a wide variety of charitable causes.

Search called off

TERRACE - RCMP called off the search for a woman missing on a lake north of Terrace, B.C. Dec. 24 after three days of searching. "We have exhausted all search options," said Terrace RCMP Constable Angela Rabut of a search of Kalum Lake which began after the woman, 43, was reported missing Dec. 21. The report came in at 9 p.m. that day and police then found the woman's truck that evening, parked at the Kalum Lake boat launch. “Search and rescue found her canoe on Kalum Lake in the early hours of the morning of Dec. 22,” said Rabut. Search efforts included using a local helicopter, a police service dog and members of Terrace Search and Rescue.

Autism support facility to be opened By Martina Perry THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - A lack of services for children with autism and their families was highlighted by a tragic incident earlier this year in Prince Rupert. But in December a groundbreaking ceremony was held for a facility and service aiming to assist families across the province. In April, Prince Rupert RCMP were called to a home on Ebert Street where the bodies of a mother and her son were found. Angie Robinson had taken the life of her 16-year-old son Robert, who was diagnosed with autism at a young age, before committing suicide. After the tragic incident, their family began calling into question the services offered to children with autism and their families in Prince Rupert. “A complete assessment of current services and services required are at the forefront of the family’s investigation - so that the hopelessness felt by a mother who wanted nothing but help with her son so that he could live with her forever will not be felt by another family,” read a statement released by the family in April 2014. Scheduled for completion in 2016, the GoodLife Fitness Autism Family Hub will aim to connect British Columbian families with services and support, and to provide them with hope. The building will host the Pacific Autism Family Centre Foundation (PAFCF). Located in Richmond, the facility will serve as a hub, with the foundation having future plans for up to eight spoke centres throughout the province. The foundation also has plans to create an online network to provide information and education to families living in remote communities, as well. The project’s total is $33 million, with $20 million coming from the province. GoodLife Fitness founder and CEO David Pathchell-Evans is the project’s lead donor and has contributed $5 million to the cause. At the groundbreaking ceremony in Richmond, B.C. Minister Rich Coleman said what happened in Prince Rupert was a tragedy.

“The helplessness felt by a mother who wanted nothing but help with her son...”

Annunciation School is now accepting applications for the September 2015-2016 Kindergarten class. CONTRIBUTED / THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

The deaths of Angie Robinson and her son Robert, who was diagnosed with autism at a young age, brought attention to the lack of services available in Prince Rupert and in remote communities across the province. A facility is currently being constructed in Richmond to help assist children with autism and their families and to provide hope.

Children must be 5 years of age before December 31, 2015. Applications can be picked up at the school office (627 5th Avenue West) or downloaded from www.annunciationpr.ca.

The KSM Project: Government of Canada Gives Approval This month the Honourable Leona Aglukkaq, Canadian Minister for the Environment, approved Seabridge Gold’s KSM Project, a goldcopper-silver-molybdenum mine located 65 kilometres northwest of Stewart, BC. The approval was granted after the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency’s (CEAA) comprehensive science-based review determined that, through mitigation measures and the conditions of the environmental assessment, no significant adverse effects are expected. This decision is consistent with the Province of B.C’s approval, which was received on July 30, 2014. “We are very pleased,” said Brent Murphy, Seabridge Vice President of Environmental Affairs. “By issuing the certificate, Minister Aglukkaq and the Government of Canada have recognized that KSM is a well-designed, environmentally responsible project which is technically feasible and offers significant economic benefits to both British Columbia and Canada. There is still much road left to travel before construction, but this is a big milestone.” The process of receiving approval has taken more than seven years, with the environmental assessment document totalling more than 35,000 pages. Along the way, Seabridge has held dozens of meetings with the Nisga’a Nation, First Nations, local communities and government officials. The design of the KSM facility, created by hundreds of people from more than 20 worldclass firms, has been updated based on input from local (and international) citizens, government regulators, as well as from Treaty and First Nations. As the KSM Project Environmental Manager, Elizabeth Miller has toured extensively in BC’s Northwest to inform residents about the project. “Seabridge would like to thank every person who

has worked to ensure this project is environmentally and socially responsible, sustainable and economically viable,” she said. “From those who came and commented at our local meetings, to those who wrote letters offering suggestions, to the Federal employees and elected ofﬁcials who worked tirelessly to ensure the project met the strict environmental standards required here in Canada.” The receipt of the Government of Canada’s environmental approval is a key step in the permitting process, however there is still much work to be done. Seabridge is now focused on continuing the relationships with the communities, Nisga’a Nation and First Nations, obtaining the remaining approximately 100 additional operating permits, and attracting the strategic partnerships and project ﬁnancing necessary to build and operate the KSM Project. “We look forward to initiating the next phase in our deepening relationship with BC’s northwest, in which we strive to ensure that KSM meets the legitimate expectations of the local communities,” Miller said.

Frank Anthony Boomar Boomars B September 15, 1939 to January nu 2, 2015

Our dad, papa, uncle and brother Frank Anthony Boomars died peacefully on January 2, 2015 in Prince Rupert, B.C. Frank was born Fransiscus Antonius Boomars in Haarlem, Holland, on September 15, 1939, along with his twin brother, Edward. In June 1954, Frankâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family, including his parents and 7 siblings arrived in Canada aboard the SS Castel Felice. The family first settled in Winnipeg, Manitoba before moving west to Vancouver. In 1963 Frank moved to Prince Rupert to begin work as a finishing carpenter after honing his craft in Vancouver. He met Gail (Hennessy) in Prince Rupert and they married in 1965. During his career as a building contractor Frank built many family homes and commercial properties in the communities of Prince Rupert and Terrace until relocating to White Rock in 1990. He continued to build until his semi-retirement in 2005, which saw him and Gail return to Terrace, at which point he did renovation work to keep busy until 2013. Frank was predeceased by his wife, Gail, in May 2013. He is survived by his favourite daughter, Michelle (favourite son-in-law, Dwayne) of Prince Rupert, and favourite son, Shaun (favourite daughter-inlaw, Beckie) of Kitimat; and his four favourite grandchildren, Devin, Hayley, Jake and Arianna. A service for Frank will be held Saturday, January 24th at 11 am at Sacred Heart Parish, 4830 Straume Ave., in Terrace, B.C. We invite all who knew Frank as a friend and who worked with him over the years to attend the service and then join his children and grandchildren to share with them stories and memories of this humble, hardworking man at the church hall following the service. Interment will follow the reception. We would like to extend our sincere thank you to dadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s care team of Dr Luke Tse of Prince Rupert, Dr Greg Linton of Terrace and Dr Robert Olson of the BC Cancer Agency in Prince George and their teams; and of course the care givers at Terraceview Lodge and Acropolis Manor. As well, a heartfelt thank you to dadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dear friends Dan and Gina Belisle, Russ Shauer and Atma Kainth for their support over dadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s final weeks. In lieu of flowers the family requests donations in Frankâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name be made to either Terraceview Lodge or Acropolis Manor.

God looked around His garden and found an empty space. He then looked down upon the earth, and saw your tired face. He put His arms around you and lifted you to rest. Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s garden must be beautiful, He always takes the best. He knew that you were suffering, He knew that you would never get well on earth again. He saw the road was getting rough, and the hills were hard to climb. So He closed your weary eyelids and whispered, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Peace Be Thine.â&#x20AC;? It broke our hearts to lose you, but you did not go alone... For part of us went with you on that day God called you home. Love, Remi, Daryll, Daniel, Sandra, Halley and Jaden

Hurtin’ Rainmakers win home opener By Kevin Campbell

THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - With two starters already on the sidelines for the Charles Hays Rainmakers senior boys’ basketball team, the last thing they wanted to see was another body go down, especially in their home opener. But that’s what transpired on Saturday afternoon as Kyler Reece was taken out of their game against Caledonia with a lower body injury after diving for a loose ball. The Rainmakers, who played well in Reece’s absence, shot their way to a 59-52 win with two of five starters playing the entire game – Justin McChesney and Rosendo Masocol. “[Kyler’s injury] hurt us because he was one of our best shooters for sure. He can knock ‘em down every time,” said Masocol, who led the ‘Makers in points, including a tremendous second quarter. where he knocked down consecutive jump shots in the box and threes. Caledonia was no easy foe for the hometown ballers on the weekend. With Reece, Perry Terrell and Kane Wesley out of the picture for now, the Kermodes took advantage and put up 52 points against the provincially-ranked No. 3 Rainmakers, who always try to keep their opponents to under 40 points, and rarely let them achieve more. “We got the ‘W’ which is good,” continued Masocol, who dominated the floor with excellent ball handling and positional play, opening up avenues for the team to take advantage of. “I’m trying to bring the team together, kind of get them on the same page – pretty much like the quarter-

The Rainmakers shot their way to a 59-52 win in their home opener. back,” he said after the contest. “We have the best guys in here. I just like to play an all-around game pretty much.” Another hot hand on the day was Jakob Henry, who sank seven three-pointers during the game. And it wasn’t just his offensive instincts that drew praise from both teammates and the coach. “His defence today was really good so that helped us a lot,” said Masocol. “He hit some big threes today – he shot well,” said head coach Mel Bishop. After spotting the Rainmakers

a 17-14 lead at the end of the first quarter, the Kermodes played the home side tight and were within three at the half with the score 3229. Tristan Walker scored a bucket early in the third frame to give the Kermodes a slim lead but timely shooting by Henry, McChesney and Masocol got the ‘Makers ahead for good. McChesney’s impact wasn’t felt as much through his offence but through his swift passing. Caledonia’s plan was to keep him contained with some double coverage. “We get him in the post and

they’re throwing a couple bodies at him so he’s always at least doubleteamed,” said Bishop. “I thought he made some great passes out of the post. He makes the game easier for us. They’ve got to run another guy at him so our perimeter’s open. [Caledonia’s] philosophy is they’re not letting him get the ball inside so we’ve got to take a lot of perimeter shots. If we hit them, we’re in good shape.” The ‘Makers hit them more often than not and it gave them two wins on the weekend as they followed up their first victory with a 66-45 win later in the day.

Gabriel Johnson and Ryan Kunar were the offensive catalysts for the Kermodes in Game One. Johnson scored 13 points and Kunar notched 11. Walker also matched Johnson’s totals with 13 points of his own for Terrace. The senior girls’ squad played as well but Caledonia was too much for them to handle and the Terrace girls beat them 69-28. The senior boys are now 9-1 in regional and tournament play this season, only losing to quad-A Kitsilano in the North Shore Invitational Tournament in December. “This is after Christmas. We’re a little bit slower. We practiced over the holidays but not a lot of game stuff; more individual stuff so this is good for us,” said Bishop. This weekend, the Skidegate senior boys will be making the trek across the water to play a best-ofthree series on Friday and Saturday versus the Rainmakers. As for Reece, Bishop said he’ll be getting his leg checked out via X-ray and the team is hoping for nothing major to come out of it. The only teams ranked higher by the Vancouver Province in the AAA B.C. high school division are the Abbotsford Panthers and Richmond’s R.A. McMath Wildcats. If the starters continue to labour on the injured reserve, more Rainmakers will get the chance to shine in their place. Henry has been shooting extremely well beyond the arc and Cole Marogna, Aiden Bull and Nicolis Campbell have also done a serviceable job off the bench for the powerhouse ‘Makers. They’ll look to remain undefeated in 2015 with their games against Skidegate Friday and Saturday this weekend at the school’s gymnasium.

Four Kitimat swimmers to attend Western Nationals Contributed

THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

KITIMAT - The Kitimat Marlins Swim Club have four swimmers who have qualified and will be attending Western Nationals this season. The four are currently training hard to compete at Western Canadian National Championships in Edmonton in February. To have one or two swimmers qualify from a small community is nice but to have four is exceptional indeed. It takes years of practice to reach a national level in the sport. The time standards to attend are extremely fast. Swimmers who qualify are among the fastest age group swimmers in the province. The four Marlins all started years ago at three practices a week learning the basics of competitive

swimming. Every season with dedication and work ethic they continued to improve in technique and fitness. The four swimmers now swim eight to nine workouts a week for 1.5 to two hours long. Each practice is up to six kilometres in swimming (240 lengths of the Kitimat pool). The four also do strength and flexibility training three times a week with Pace Yourself fitness gym. The four Marlins hold pool records around the region and some of them Northwest BC regional records, and are among the fastest swimmers for their age in the province. They will join two swimmers from Smithers and two swimmers from Prince Rupert who have also qualified for Western Nationals this season. The four Marlin swimmers are

Digby ferry not seen as hinderance By Martina Perry THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - While a report states the Digby Island Ferry could prevent project workers from using the Prince Rupert Airport, stakeholders believe there are solutions. The Digby Island Ferry Capacity Analysis, produced by Vancouver group Operations Economic Inc. and commissioned by the Prince Rupert and District Chamber of Commerce, states the ferry’s capacity could hinder the airport’s ability to move project workers, with it being probable that liquefied natural gas companies would look for another way to move workers in and out of Prince Rupert. “It is unlikely that LNG com-

panies and major construction companies would find 156 passengers per hour as an acceptable level of passenger arrival and departure,” reads the report. Maureen Macarenko, chair of the Prince Rupert Airport Authority, said the report was accurate and captures the current conditions and challenges of the airport transportation system. “The report clearly points out our current transportation infrastructure would underserve demand at potential peak times – however, it is hoped the bulk of this demand could be managed through careful coordination of aircraft,” said Macarenko, adding several EPMC companies and work camp operators have expressed their capacity expectations during discussions with the

airport authority. “Without question, the report correctly highlights the need for an upgrade to the buses that serve the system. The report supports our window of opportunity to change and improve an ailing antiquated system to serve our customers well into the future,” she said. Prince Rupert Mayor Lee Brain said the capacity issue could be resolved. “With such large investments, I’m confident that many solutions will become available for our ferry once a final investment decision is announced. In the meantime, the City of Prince Rupert is doing its absolute best to provide a great service to our residents and is being proactive in solving the challenges presented,” said Brain.
