HAZELTON - The Coast Mountains School District board has buckled to community pressure and delayed indefinitely a plan to move elementary grade students to the Hazelton Secondary School. Responding to backlash from parents and teachers, the school board last week voted to absolve the Hazelton/Kitwanga Grade Reconfiguration Committee mandated to “reconfigure” grades at schools in the area. The committee of teachers and parents had been created by the school district to help implement a plan to move some elementary school students to the high school. The decision to absolve the

committee was made after it presented its progress in a report at the Feb. 18 school board meeting. In the report, chairperson Janet Meyer put forward a motion that the district office carry out more consultation before establishing a middle school model but it was defeated. Instead the board adopted a new motion put forward by Hazelton school board trustee Shar McCrory, who was also acting board chair at the meeting. The new mandate absolves the reconfiguration committee and makes no mention of changing grade configuration at Hazeltons schools. “Coast Mountains School District 82 strives for improved graduation rates for all learners, including those in the Hazelton/

Kitwanga region,” it reads. “In an attempt to address the graduation rates in the Hazelton/Kitwanga area, public community consultation will be explored for possible interventions.” McCrory said she put forward a new motion because she wanted the phrasing to be more specific. “I wanted it to be very clear ... where we are going from here, that it was to community consultation and I didn’t feel that was quite reflected in the original motion,” she said. She said she could not comment on why there was a perceived lack of consultation in the first instance because she was not a trustee when the reconfiguration plan was made. McCrory said a reconfiguration would still take place but any

changes would be informed by more community consultation. “The [gist] of it is that we’re striving to improve graduation rates and that the Hazelton Kitwanga area needs to look at public community consultation in order to improve those graduates rates,” she said. “The community has spoken and what I’ve heard from community groups, members and various organizations and individuals is that they were not consulted for this reconfiguration scenario that was put forward by the board. I think there was just different perception. The board thought that they were consulted and the communities didn’t feel that they were.” For a longer version of this story, visit www.interior-news. com.

As a result of what you told us, we submitted design changes to our regulators in late 2014. What Has Changed? • A unique suspension bridge and trestle will connect the LNG plant on Lelu Island to our LNG carrier berths, reducing the amount of marine infrastructure adjacent to Flora Bank • LNG carrier berths are planned to be located in naturally deep water in Chatham Sound, requiring no dredging Key Facts About Our Proposed Design • No infrastructure on Flora Bank • World-class marine studies conducted and committed to ongoing fish monitoring • Enough clearance for fishing vessels to continue to use their traditional routing north of Flora Bank and travel under the bridge • Two marine berths located approximately 2.7 kilometres west of Lelu Island in naturally deep water • Unlike other petroleum products, liquefied natural gas evaporates into the atmosphere if it warms above -162° Celsius and does not sink or coat the marine environment

Regional district Weekly highlights for Hazelton RCMP meeting briefs DEASE LAKE - The Dease Lake airport could be getting its runway resurfaced soon thanks to a unanimous vote from the regional district to apply for a Northern Development Initiatives Trust at the board’s monthly meeting Feb. 20. Telegraph Creek director Dave Brocklebank said planes can’t even go to the refuelling station because of the deterioration and that affects waterbombers too. City councillor and regional district chair Stacey Tyers said she has heard horror stories about the airport there. ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ NEW BUSINESS TERRACE - Terrace rural area director Jessica McCallum-Miller offered up a motion for the regional district to provide constituents within Areas E and C, Thornhill and the Terrace rural area, respectfully, with information packages on recycling and on subsidizing fees for seniors and disabled individuals. The package would provide details about how the garbage and recycling works and provide those who can’t afford the waste management program to explore the option of subsidizing these costs. Since a committee is being formed to help residnets understand the waste managemnet program, the motion was amended with McCallum-Miller’s agreement to say that regional district staff working with the committee will work on finding ways to subsidize seniors and those on disability. STEWART - Stewart mayor Galina Durant said she had put her name forward and been appointed to a provincial health advisory committee that was looking at piloting a paramedic program. If the board has any input, concerns or suggestions, she invited the directors to bring them to her. HAZELTONS - rural area director Linda Pierre said she’d been appointed to the seniors advisory committee for the north that would be holding its first meeting in March and also people to bring forward seniors’ issues from the area to her.

HAZELTON - New Hazelton RCMP responded to 76 calls during the week of Feb. 12 to 18. February 13 - At 11:30 p.m., RCMP received several calls concerning a distressed male on Hwy 62 near the Royal Bank. The male had allegedly been blocking traffic and may have struck several passing vehicles. He was arrested without incident by police. If any motorists witnessed this incident and received damage to their vehicle as a result, please make a report to the New Hazelton RCMP. Charges are pending. February 15 - At 2:03 a.m., RCMP responded to a two-vehicle collision at Barcalow Rd. on Hwy 37 in Kitwanga.

A blue Ford F150 had been northbound and was attempting to negotiate a turn from Hwy 37 onto Barcalow Rd. A second vehicle, a gray Honda Pilot, was also northbound and failed to stop in time, resulting in a rear-end collision. No one was injured, however, both vehicles sustained substantial damages. The accident is still under investigation. February 18 - At 10:30 a.m., police responded to a two-vehicle collision on Hwy 16 approx 500m west of New Hazelton. A Ford Escape was rear-ended by a GMC Sierra, causing extensive damage to both vehicles. A passenger in the Escape was bleeding from the nose and taken to hospital.

The matter is still under investigation. February 18 - At 2 p.m., police observed a vehicle on Hwy 62 by the Gitanmaax Hall. The driver was recognized by police as being the subject of a current driving prohibition. The vehicle was stopped and the prohibition confirmed. The driver was issued an appearance notice and the vehicle impounded. New Hazelton RCMP are happy to announce the annual RCMP Junior Youth Academy on March 7 at the Gitwangak Community Hall between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. Any and all youths aged 5-12 are invited to attend to learn about policing duties and training. Lunch will be provided.

Advocacy group kicks off in Terrace TERRACE - A national organization which lobbies for social programs and which opposes privatization of public services now has a local chapter. Nearly 20 people attended a meeting leading to a local chapter being formed of the Council of Canadians Feb. 9. Council organizer Brigette De Pape from Vancouver spoke about the council’s goals and Skeena – Bulkley Valley NDP MP Nathan Cullen gave a few words, says Al Lehmann, one of the locals involved. “Given the general so-

cial drift in Canada toward diminished social programs, lopsided trade agreements, and weakened protections for rivers and lakes (not to mention threats to our Pacific coast), the Council has much work to do,” said Lehmann. And while Cullen may have made an appearance, Lehmann said the Council of Canadians is not specifically affiliated with any political party on the provincial or national level. The chapter currently plans to meet on the CONTRIBUTED/THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR first Monday of each month at 6 p.m. in the art gallery at Members of a new group in Terrace display flag at inaugural the Terrace Public Library. meeting.

Province to have oversight of federal port lands for LNG By Shaun Thomas THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - The provincial government has introduced legislation that would allow it to oversee LNG-related development on federal port lands, including lands managed by the Prince Rupert Port Authority. The Federal Port Development Act, Bill 12, introduced Feb. 16, extends provincial authority and the application of provincial law to

projects such as those proposed by Pacific NorthWest LNG and BG Group as they are located on port authority land. For example, agreements under the act would detail how the B.C. Oil and Gas Commission would oversee development and operations of LNG facilities at a federally regulated port. Minister of Natural Gas Development Rich Coleman said this legislation provides additional certainty to the developing LNG industry in B.C.

“Proponents will be able to invest in a facility knowing the rules that apply and provincial officials will ensure LNG operations are safe and environmentally sound,” he said. However, North Coast MLA Jennifer Rice says the new legislation leaves more questions than answers. “Would this legislation mean a port-related project would go through the federal government’s/ port’s environmental assessment

Nathan Cullen said he doesn’t have a problem with the provincial government becoming involved with federal port lands, but wasn’t a fan of how the federal government approved its portion of the deal. “Part of my concern was how it was passed through government as part of a 450 page omnibus bill ... but if it brings the decision making closer to the community then it is something I am in favour of with the caveat that it includes real consultation,” he said.

process or the province’s?” she questioned while acknowledging it could help speed up the process. “The goal, I think, is to simplify the regulatory regime for LNG proponents so that the proponents are dealing directly with the province and any regulations that the province makes, instead of dealing with both the Province and the federal government ... for Prince Rupert and Port Edward, that might mean FIDs are made sooner.” Skeena – Bulkley Valley MP

KITIMAT — A $10,000 cheque presented to the Kitimat General Hospital Foundation from RBC, which will go towards the purchase of IV Infusion Pumps for the hospital.

No lobbyists needed

VICTORIA - When Andrew Wilkinson started the year in his new job as advanced education minister, he knew B.C. universities hired lobbyists to pitch expansion plans to government. Wilkinson was one of those lobbyists in his role as a lawyer in private practice, before being elected MLA for Vancouver-Quilchena in 2013. Under attack for the second day in question period at the B.C. legislature, Wilkinson said Tuesday the practice of universities hiring expensive consultants to speak to the government that funds and regulates them should come to an end. “It’s been abundantly clear since I took this role that access to my ministry and to me is unlimited for all the institutions,” Wilkinson told the legislature. He said he will advise all B.C. post-secondary institutions that they don’t need lobbyists, but as independent institutions it will be up to them to decide.

Regional district board fed up with group

THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

TERRACE - KitimatStikine regional district directors are seeking legal advice to stop what they say is a continual flow of harassment by a group questioning its long-standing plan to dramatically change the way garbage is handled in the area. The decision came after RCMP officers briefly appeared at the regional district’s Feb. 20 meeting at which were members of Residents Advocating for a Sustainable Inclusive Environment (RafaSIE) who queried the decision by the board to borrow $17 million for a new superdump at Forceman Ridge just off of Hwy37 South toward Kitimat. The officers soon left but their appearance was prompted by individuals who had been attending a series of talks by the regional district on its garbage and recycling plans. At the last of the talks held, Jan. 29, Sean Bujtas, a City of Terrace councillor, ended up asking a person to step outside of the meeting so they could talk and the presenter could continue. Regional district staff members and consultants should be protected from harassment and bullying, said James Cordeiro, another City of Terrace councillor who also sits on the regional district board. He said the region-

al district has responded to numerous letters from people and from delegations over the last months and has answered the same questions over and over again. “There is no effort to hear the answer and weigh those answers in a rational manner,” Cordeiro said, adding that some people had made up their minds, leaving no chance to change their minds. His Feb. 20 motion reads, in part, to seek legal advice “to determine if these relentlessly disruptive and repetitive delegations, their conduct towards the board, staff and consultants, and the perpetual queries with respect to questions more than adequately answered by the board and administration constitutes harassment and an unacceptable administrative burden ….” The regional district’s master plan, in which the City of Terrace is to be a participant, would close the city’s dump on Kalum Lake Drive and convert the regional district’s own dump in Thornhill into a transfer station for waste handling. Garbage would then be trucked to the new Forceman Ridge while material that can be recycled would be shipped out of the area. While the city’s own recycling program, brought into last spring, is working fairly smoothly, there’s been opposition to the regional district’s own pro-

gram for Thornhill and the rural area surrounding Terrace and south to Lakelse Lake. That plan was late in being introduced in the latter part of 2014. Among other changes, Thornhill and rural residents are now paying $200 a year for the recycling service, a fee that’s made residents unhappy. Residents had been responsible for their own garbage disposal and had either hired a service or took their refuse to the dump. As well, the group RafaSIE has been asking questions about the economic and environmental viability of the whole program. Speaking at the Feb. 20 meeting, regional district chair Stacey Tyers, who is also a City of Terrace councillor, said there are growing concerns over how board members and staffers are being treated. “No one in the public has to put up with that,” she said of letters and comments, some of which are described as being abusive. “If my boss ever spoke like that, I’d have a lawsuit.” When people’s rights are being impeded upon, the ones doing it need to be stopped, she added. Thornhill director Ted Ramsey said he’s listened to all the questions and can’t believe there’s such a disconnect between the board and the public. “I don’t know what else the board can do,”

he said, referring to all the ways the board provides information to the public. “How do we get the information to the public so they understand it. It seems almost impossible. Given that, I’m prepared to support councillor Cordeiro’s motion.” Cordeiro’s motion was backed by every regional district director except for Jessica McCallum-Miller who represents the rural area, excluding Thornhill, around Terrace. She asked that her vote be recorded. McCallum-Miller also proposed a motion, which was accepted by

her fellow board members, to provide information packages to Thornhill and rural residents on garbage and recycling fee subsidies for seniors and disabled individuals. “Areas E and C constituents are also shareholders as taxpayers of our solid waste management facility – some are living off of old age pension or disability and need information as well as the option of subsidizing costs they cannot afford.” This motion will be presented to a committee that’s being formed to engage the residents more in the process of solid waste management.

TERRACE TO KITIMAT TRANSMISSION PROJECT PUBLIC MEETINGS BC Hydro is planning to replace the transmission line between Terrace and Kitimat, which is reaching the end of its useful life. We have now selected our preferred option for carrying out this project, which is to build a new line along the west side of the Kitimat Valley. This decision was based on environmental, archaeological, design, cost and other studies, as well as feedback received during consultation with First Nations, local governments and interested members of the public. You are invited to attend a public meeting to find out more about the preferred option and the next steps BC Hydro will take in carrying out this project.

Aurora LNG begins its public feedback process

By Shaun Thomas

THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - Residents got their first chance to provide feedback on Aurora LNG’s proposed Digby Island terminal on Feb. 18, with people packing the North Coast Convention Centre throughout the evening. Aurora LNG is proposing to construct an export facility with two trains having an initial capacity for between five million and six million tonnes per annum each, along with up to three storage tanks and two marine berths. Based on demand, those figures could grow to four trains with capacity of up to 24 million tonnes of LNG per year and a third loading berth. The company hopes to file its environmental assessment by the end of the year, with a final investment decision coming as early as 2017. Attendees of the open house were able to talk to Nexen staff about studies being undertaken as part of the environmental assessment and employment and training opportunities, as well as express their concerns about the project. Nexen director of regulatory, stakeholder and aboriginal relations Shannon Young said the company was happy with how the evening went. “We were pleased with the strong community turnout for the open house and the diverse representation of the community from residents, business owners and members of the local First Nations community. We were happy to see a high level of interest in the project and people came with a lot of good questions seeking project information,” she said, adding people can expect to hear more from Aurora LNG in the near future. “We are in the very early stages of the site assessment work on Digby Island, which is the potential site for terminal, and the very early stages of the environmental assessment process. This was our first public open house, but we will be having our first environmental assessment open house in mid-April and will continue to have a number of open houses and other opportunities for public input in the future ... we will be opening a community office within the Coastal Business Centre and will be looking to hire for positions locally for that office.

Nobels said the company was very open with the group, including meeting with Dodge Cove residents for several hours the night before, but said the Friends of Digby Island are steadfast in their desire to halt the project. “We have told them we are not opposed to continuing to discuss this issue, but we are going to continue to oppose this project in any way that we can,” he said, adding Nexen isn’t necessarily the target. “Our fight is really not with the company, unfortunately. The company is operating under the rules, regulations and stipulations that have been set out for it. Our real argument and fight is with the province, who has put forward an ill-conceived and poorly planned operative. They yelled ‘gold rush’ essentially and threw the doors open. It’s just irresponsible.”

things didn’t reach that point. “This settlement forecloses the prospect of a potential labour disruption that would have harmed CN’s employees, its customers and the Canadian economy,” said CN president and CEO Claude Mongeau. “We were able to find solutions to the concerns raised by our members – this is best achieved at the bargaining table,” said Unifor president Jerry Dias.

Feds offer up LNG tax breaks

Spring’s eternal …

By Tom Fletcher

THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

SIMON CAMMISH / THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

KITIMAT — Given the winter-refresher Kitimat enjoyed so recently, Joanne Monaghan and Simon Cammish were surprised, yet delighted, to see a crocus already blooming in their backyard. It’s a telling sign that winter won’t be here much longer.

OTTAWA - The federal government is offering tax breaks for equipment and buildings for liquefied natural gas production. Prime Minister Stephen Harper announced the tax breaks in Surrey Thursday with Industry Minister James Moore and three B.C. MPs. LNG producers will be granted capital cost allowances of 30 per cent on equipment and 10 per cent on buildings, which reduce their income tax to offset construction costs. The standard rate for capital cost allowance is eight per cent for equipment and six per cent for buildings. B.C. took a similar approach with its LNG income tax, offering credits on corporate income tax until initial plant investments are paid off. Premier Christy Clark welcomed the federal move, which she said B.C. has lobbied hard to get as international producers have delayed final investment decisions. She said the drop in oil prices has made the decision more difficult for big companies that get part of their revenue from oil, but B.C. is competitive on LNG. “We’re already more competitive than Australia,” Clark said. “Our real main competition in the world is the U.S. and the west coast of North America.” NDP natural gas critic Bruce Ralston said the

LNG processing and tanker loading facility proposed by consortium led by PETRONAS at Lelu Island, Prince Rupert. front-end tax credits are the right approach to take, but the federal tax break doesn’t change the economic conditions for B.C. trying to enter a global energy market. “Our objections are the same,” Ralston said. “If LNG proponents want, as one proponent did, 70 per cent temporary foreign workers, and 70 per cent of the [greenhouse gas] emissions are not being counted, then we don’t support the plan.” David Keane, president of the BC LNG Alliance, said the federal decision is encouraging and the industry continues to work with First Nations and other local governments to develop.

Heritage Park Museum founders honoured By Rod Link

THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

TERRACE - Close to 50 people gathered at Heritage Park Feb. 19 to recognize Mamie and Fred Kerby, the couple who spearheaded its formation more than 30 years ago. A tea was held and those attending were able to view a plaque placed inside the park’s Kalum Hotel building commemorating the couple, now deceased. Children Eva, Norma and Eric Kerby were on hand as well as grandchildren for speeches and refreshments in the dance hall building right beside the hotel. Fred Kerby passed away in 2006 and Mamie Kerby just last year. Terrace and District Museum Society president Grant Piffer noted the achievements of the Kerbys to rescue the eight log structures from their original locations in the area and move them to what is now Heritage Park. “Most or all of these buildings would have simply been lost forever,” said Piffer of the urgent nature of the effort to save the structures which began in 1982. The Kerbys, with daughter Norma assist-

ing, gathered up a core of volunteers, formed a society and received government grants first to move and then reassemble the buildings. “It was also a daunting task but one that Mamie Kerby was more than up for,” said Piffer. He noted that the organizing capacity of Mamie Kerby matched the practical aspects Fred Kerby brought to the task of moving the buildings and securing them in their new home. As a young country, Canada is still made up of stories where individuals work toward a greater good, said Piffer. “And that was certainly the case of Mamie and Fred Kerby,” he said. Daughter Norma recalled some of the early years of the Terrace Regional Historical Society, the society formed to move the Heritage Park plans forward in the early 1980s. The philosophical foundation of the society was to preserve some of the architecture unique to the area, she said. “You know, what we don’t need is another cement building,” said Kerby of a comment made by her mother.

The effort to create Heritage Park was also assisted by job training and other grants that were available in the early 1980s when a recession all but closed down the local woods industry, she noted. Locating Heritage Park where it is today was a logical decision because the land was then owned by the province, part of the property which was once the home of Skeenaview, a care facility that was the predecessor to modern day Terraceview Lodge. That being the case, Kerby said it could be

obtained at no cost. “My mother said they wouldn’t miss two acres,” she remembered of the approach taken to secure the land. It also made sense because residents of Terraceview Lodge could visit and enjoy the park, she added. “This whole complex was established with a huge amount of community effort and a huge amount of community support,” said Kerby. Heritage Park’s founding society, the Terrace Regional Historical Society, still exists but the park’s oper-

ations are now handled through the Terrace and District Museum Society, which was formed in the late 1990s. It receives financial assistance from the City of Terrace and the Kitimat-Stikine regional district. Mayor Carol Leclerc and members of council were also at the tea as was Leah Harris, president of the Terrace Regional Historical Society. The plaque was paid for by the society through the assistance of a large donation by Bill and Helene McRae.

Infrastructure woes raised by MLA By Shaun Thomas

THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - North Coast MLA Jennifer Rice brought the issue of Prince Rupert’s aging infrastructure to the Legislature this week, but Minister of Community, Sport and Cultural Development Coralee Oakes did not provide a solid answer or commitment regarding her concerns. “Prince Rupert’s infrastructure has crumbled while this government has ignored it for the past decade-and-a-half. Our water system is dangerously outdated, our bridges and roads need massive improvements and, though we

will soon see toilets that flush at the airport, it still takes residents and business owners hours to access that airport on our hopelessly outdated transportation system. That is driving businesses out of town,” she said during question period on Feb. 17. “If you ask the residents of Prince Rupert, they will tell you that our infrastructure has been neglected for far too long ... my question is to the Minister of Community, Sport and Cultural Development: When are you finally going to step up and invest in the infrastructure Prince Rupert so badly needs?” For her part, Oakes said the

City of Prince Rupert should make sure to apply for grants offered through the province. “I look forward to meeting with the mayor of Prince Rupert today to talk about the Build Canada Project that supports local governments with infrastructure that is necessary,” she said. “This past summer we had the opportunity to work closely with local governments and the federal government to have a $2.76 billion agreement for gas tax for the next 10 years. This will support local governments in need of infrastructure, whether it’s water, waste water, airports or other needed infrastructure.”

TransCanada provides pipeline update By Shaun Thomas THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - Although the start date of the Prince Rupert Gas Transmission Project is largely out of TransCanada’s hands, vice-president John Dunn told the Prince Rupert and District Chamber of Commerce the company will be ready to go should the time come. “Pacific NorthWest LNG is working to receive their necessary regulatory approvals and it is up to our customer to look at the global and fiscal environment for LNG and make a positive final investment decision. We will be ready to commence construction as soon as that occurs,” he said of the Lelu Island terminal that will receive gas from the line, noting construction also depends on regulatory approval from the B.C. Oil and Gas Commission for the pipe-

line. Dunn said the delay in a final investment decision by the project’s lone customer does not mean TransCanada’s work on the pipeline has come to a halt. With the company expecting to announce three prime contractors for the approximately 900 kilometre pipeline later this year, Dunn said there is a lot going on in the background. John Dunn “One of the things that the announcement in December mentions is that both Pacific NorthWest LNG in terms of their terminal at Lelu Island and PRGT in terms of its pipeline are working very diligently with major constructors to drive the cost down. We are taking the opportunity with this pause in the decision to basically look at realigning the costs across the project, whether it be materials or whether it be suppliers,” he said.

“We will be ready to commence construction...”

Prince Rupert Gas Transmission project vice-president John Dunn addresses members of the Prince Rupert and District Chamber of Commerce on Feb. 18. “It is something that is very good for the project and something that is keeping us very busy.” Once the prime contractors have been announced, TransCanada will work to connect them with businesses across the Northwest which have registered on the Prince Rupert Gas Transmission website. “We have received over 350 vendor registrations for the line and are currently in the process of categorizing those geograph-

ically throughout the 900-plus kilometre pipeline so we can provide a list to the prime contractor and say ‘these are the types of services that have submitted interest and these are the types of jobs they are interested in’,” explained manager of B.C. Labour and Local contracting Brent Dietmer. “We are going to encourage the prime contractors to work with that local community in terms of those that have shown interest.”

THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

KITIMAT - Two hotels in Kitimat are slated for completion by the year’s end. The Microtel hotel on Dadook Avenue, near Rosarios, is still shooting for an August opening as construction crews worked through the heavy snow. The hotel, which will be branded Microtel Inn and Suites by Wyndham once opened, has even opened up for job applications for their general manager as they shoot for an August opening. The company is sticking to that opening in six months, according to Eric Watson, MasterBuilt Hotels’ chief operating officer. The plans for a secondary hotel on the site is up in the air while the company awaits news on what happens with a liquefied natural gas industry in Kitimat. “We’re certainly waiting to see what happens with LNG projects, in terms of our second hotel,” he said, which would include a restaurant. The current hotel under construction will have 87 rooms, a meeting space, a small store for guests and will include extended stay suites. This is among the first hotels by the company with this look in Canada. The weather, beyond snow storms, hasn’t hampered construction, said Watson. “The rain is one thing because you get the moisture...that’s just part of building in those climates, but so far we’re still on schedule,” he said. As for the snow, “Weather was really good up until you guys got a couple inches of snow...Our guys were back at work pretty quick.” While employment levels depends on business, he said typically their hotels have about 15 to 20 employees, and there will likely be job fairs in the near future to get staff to operational levels. Meanwhile the MStar Hotel will open before the year closes, says City Centre Mall owner Jerry Minni. “All the concrete work in there has been completed,” he said. “We’re waiting for the weather to break and then they’ll start framing up top.” The snow storm didn’t slow down the work at the MStar Hotel since work was mostly interior in the basement and main floor but as they move towards working on the roof bad weather could slow them down, but it’s otherwise a pretty fast process once work begins, said Minni. The hotel is still planned for 42 rooms, and about four months before opening they’ll begin the hiring process, including seeking a general manager. The hotel will employ about 10 people in total, he said. The hotel will be attached to a restaurant, and he said the space will be turned over to them sometime in October for them to set up. Minni says improvements to the mall itself will directly follow the hotel, including flooring, lighting, and facade improvements to the front. “That will just happen right after the hotel. We’ll just move the crew across,” he said.

Vanderhoof tops Rupert in zones playoffs By Kevin Campbell THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - There was a little more on the line than usual last weekend for the Prince Rupert Sea Wolves midget reps, and despite winning 4-1 on Saturday night, two losses to the Vanderhoof Bears gave them a series loss. Battling the Bears in the first game of round one of the Skeena Valley zones, the Sea Wolves found themselves deadlocked in the bestof-three series, tied 3-3 after two frames with the Bears, who play remarkably similar hockey to the Rupertites. The Saturday morning showdown saw the home side battle back from three deficits, down 1-0, 2-1 and 3-2 before the second intermission and it seemed like the pesky Sea Wolves couldn’t be swatted away. With neither team gaining an advantage over the other, the match looked like it would be coming down to the wire as Prince Rupert’s Caleb Perrie and the Bears’ Dixon Loewen were putting on a clinic with stellar goaltending between the pipes for their respective teams – one-timer after one-timer was turned aside by both masked men as the second frame came to a close. Then, the third period hit and all bets were off. The solid defensive play that both teams employed through the first two stanzas were thrown out the window in the wild, offensive shootout blitz that the third period became for both sides. “Everything pretty much col-

lapsed,” said Austin Weir, who led Rupert’s charge with two pretty goals, deking out Loewen forehandbackhand on each one. It only took 10 seconds for the fireworks to start in that third period. Rupert sniper Cole Atchison streaked down the left wing after the Sea Wolves won the opening face-off and wristed a laser-beam high, blocker-side on Loewen for the 4-3 advantage and Rupert’s first lead of the game. Three minutes later, Keiden Archer put the Sea Wolves up two goals after he found a tiny hole in a crouching Loewen’s short-side coverage for the 5-3 lead. It seemed like the Rupert squad was on their way to the 1-0 series lead, but a furious Vanderhoof attack came shortly thereafter. Bears’ alternate captain Eric Silver snapped a shot past Perrie for his second of the game to cut the Wolves’ lead to 5-4. Then, Vanderhoof’s Daulton Swanson tied the affair with a shot from the slot that cleanly beat Perrie above his blocker hand. From that point on, it was last shot wins. Gurlivleen Sekhon blasted a clapper through traffic and through Loewen’s five-hole with 12 minutes to go. That made it 6-5. But three straight goals for the Bears in the last 10 minutes of the game sealed game one for Vanderhoof. Swanson completed his hat trick, tying the game at six when he banged in a loose puck out of mid-air when the Wolves’ defensive coverage broke down and they found themselves running around

The Wolves fell 2-1 in the series. in their own zone. Kolby Page then dangled around the Rupert defence and made a tape-to-tape pass to Silver for the 7-6 lead that chased Perrie from the net. Cole Lindsay took over, but gave up one more goal before all was said and done, to Page in the dying seconds for the 8-6 Rupert loss. Along with Swanson’s hatty, Silver also completed the trick as

Marlins take on championships By Jason Cathers THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

KITIMAT - Four of the six swimmers who qualified for the AA provincial championships from the Kitimat Marlins Swim Club attended Chilliwack last weekend. There were over 300 swimmers from across B.C. and the Yukon in attendance at the championships. The Marlins swimmers swam extremely well and all posted personal best times throughout the meet. Leading the way for the Marlins was Alex van Horne (11) who achieved his first AAA provincial qualifying time on his way to the gold medal in the 11 and under boys 100 meter backstroke. Adrianna Florit (10) had her best result in the 11 and under girls 200 meter breaststroke with a 5th place finish. Hayden Dobbin (15) placed in the top 8 in two events for 14 and over boys. Dobbin placed 6th in the 1500 meter freestyle and 7th in the 400m. Ethan Velho (14) had his best results in the 14 and over boys 200 backstroke with a 14th place finish.

the two combined for six of Vanderhoof’s eight goals on the day. Page had the other two. To go with Weir’s deuce and Atchison’s and Archer’s singles, Jared Carter rounded out the scoring for Rupert. “We had fire, we were just going,” said Weir of the team early on. “Me and Cole [Atchison], we had a few good shifts but we didn’t

really finish. We couldn’t bury them all ... They try hard – they’re a good team. [We need to] work harder, play defence. That’s all.” The team lost 6-3 in the final game on Sunday morning to vault Vanderhoof into the next round. The Bears will now face the Terrace Kermodes, who defeated the Kitimat Winterhawks 10-1 and 10-7 in round one.

TERRACE - The climate inside the Hidber Arena at the Terrace Sportsplex has fluctuated since the arena’s air handling system was damaged in the big snowstorm a few weeks ago. The weight of snow that fell off the arena roof Feb. 7 and 8 – a sight many people in the Terrace area can probably imagine – damaged the arena’s HVAC and ductwork. That means the arena no longer has dehumidification capacity, explained the city’s director of leisure services Carmen Didier in an email. And because of that, the arena glass will fog up when the weather is warm and/or wet outside. Didier is hoping for cooler weather over the next few weeks so the condensation inside the arena won’t reach a point where it starts dripping from the ceiling onto the

ice. That’s the only way the situation could affect the ice, which Didier says, is not damaged. At the same time, the bleacher heaters won’t work when the air handling system is down, meaning it is cooler for spectators. “Our message to users has been to bring your jackets and squeegees,” said Didier. She said the city is doing its best to keep the Hidber Arena in operation and minimize the inconvenience to those that use it, and added that the main arena didn’t suffer any damage. The city is still waiting for price estimates to repair the system, Didier said, adding that the repairs won’t be completed until the end of the ice season. “Initially, the main arena ice was the first arena ice scheduled for removal on March 16, but in light of the damage we will be removing the Hidber ice first now,” she said.
