GINGOLX - The Nisga’a New Year, Hobiyee, was celebrated by young and old March 13-14 in Gingolx, one of the four Nass Valley villages, the homeland of the Nisga’a Nation. The theme this year was ‘Honouring our Grandmothers”.

Tahltan to vote on mine benefits agreement By Josh Massey

THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

TERRACE - members of the Tahltan Nation are to vote next month on a comprehensive agreement providing employment and other economic benefits arising from the Red Chris copper and gold mine located on their traditional territory. The balloting, from April 1618 to be conducted in person, by phone or online, follows a series of community meetings held close to the mine’s location in Dease Lake and Iskut north on Hwy37 North and in Terrace and elsewhere. Details of the proposed agreement, resulting from a prolonged period of negotiations, are being kept confidential, said Steve Robertson, a vice-presi-

dent with mine owner Imperial Metals. “It includes consideration for jobs, training, education, contracting opportunities and revenue sharing,” he said. Approval by the Tahltan would continue a series of similar agreements with companies who have operations within Tahltan traditional territory. That list includes Calgary energy company AltaGas which spent $1 billion on three runof-river hydroelectric projects along the Iskut River. The benefits agreement aside, the Tahltan still need to approve of the copper and gold mine’s tailings facility before the provincial government will issue Imperial a final permit paving the way for full production. Earlier this year, the province

gave Imperial a temporary permit allowing it to begin processing ore as a test of the mine’s facilities. Imperial then began trucking out concentrate bearing copper and gold to the port at Stewart for eventual transport. “We continue to work very closely with the Tahltan regarding this permit and plan to have community meetings in the Tahltan community sometime in April,” said Robertson of the final permit needed. “This will allow us to address details of our application with the Tahltan people and their consultants in advance of the issuance of the final Environment Management Act permit,” he said. Some members of the Tahltan community have for years expressed worries about the en-

vironmental impact of the mine which has a capital cost of $643 million. Those worries at times grew into a roadblock of the mine mounted by Tahltan and others. One happened last summer after the failure of the tailings pond at another Imperial copper mine, Mount Polley in the Cariboo. Imperial then agreed to pay for a tailings pond design review by a company chosen by the Tahltan Central Council. Despite the review finding the soil quality under the Red Chris tailings facility to be a potential issue, the ministry of the environment said it is a far cry from Mount Polley where the underlying composition of its tailings pond was a factor in its failing.

By Cameron Orr THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

KITIMAT - BC Hydro says there are some lessons to take after February’s near-record snow fall but emphasize it was a truly unexpectedly large snowfall. BC Hydro’s Coordinator for Northern Community Relations Dave Mosure cited a quote by Mayor Phil Germuth to the CBC in February as an example of how unusual the storm was. “The events of the past few days are of such significance that nobody could have been prepared to solve them in a matter of hours,” Germuth had told the CBC. Mosure said predicting the severity of a storm is challenging. “It’s difficult to predict how severe a storm will be (in this

case it was near record breaking snowfall). That’s why BC Hydro employees continuously train on how to respond quickly and effectively during an emergency, so we are well prepared for the challenges that winter storms bring,” he wrote in an e-mail statement. “The weather forecast information we had prior to the storm arriving indicated the impacted zone would be larger than what actually occurred. This resulted in our resources be spread further afield.” Crews and equipment for Kitimat were brought in from Terrace and Prince Rupert and further from the Hazeltons, Smithers, Prince George and Williams Lake, he added. As for lessons learned, Mosure says there are two main

things. One, crews on the scenes had many trees falling near them, which resulted in repeated repairs or being delayed. “Greater consideration must be given to crew safety during events as significant as this record setting snowfall,” he wrote. Also, coordination with snow clearing efforts is important. “[BC Hydro] needs access to locations with damaged infrastructure for restoration work but the snow impedes vehicle travel...Snow removal crews need downed poles and lines removed to allow safe snow removal.” As for the utility’s day to day equipment, he says they are always doing upgrades to keep equipment up to standards.

Port Edward council not very happy bcclassified.com with prospect of more noise from trains By Shaun Thomas

THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PORT EDWARD - As Prince Rupert Port Authority public affairs director Ken Veldman spoke to Port Edward council, he was momentarily drowned out by the blaring whistle of a CN train making its way through the community. The timing of this noisy interruption brought about light laughter from those around the table who have had whistles blasting at all hours of the day and night for years. But when Veldman finished his presentation and opened the floor to questions, Mayor Dave MacDonald and fellow councillors let him know

the steady interruptions were no laughing matter. “You are going to increase the port size and we are going to have more trains going through. I know that you are willing to get involved, but we still feel that we need more help from all the industries that use this track that goes through town. All we are asking for is help to ensure that our citizens can have a good night’s sleep ... the people come first and the people are upset with this. Our patience is only going to go so far,” said Mayor MacDonald, adding that controlled crossings may not be the answer. “It was brought to my attention that the

‘ding, ding, ding’ may be just as bad as the whistle if they start ringing the bell. The whistle is bad, but if they start ringing the bell, are we going to be ahead at all?” Coun. Dan Franzen also expressed his concern with the train noise, noting some residents have left the community because of the whistling. “You just heard one go by and that is happening at all hours of the night. I live up top there and I don’t get it as bad as the people below,” he said. “We definitely need to get that looked at.” Noting that there are currently between 10 and 12 trains per day going through Port

Edward, Veldman told council the port authority would be ready to help, but wanted to make sure it was done right. “We have been more than willing to step up to the table to see what those solutions might be. Those solutions are not going to be cheap at all and the solutions themselves aren’t perfect, but Port Edward is a community that we are willing to invest in. If that is the community priority we can invest in, we will be at that table discussing how that works, without a doubt ... this is not something that necessarily has to be done tomorrow because of capital investment, so let’s figure out the best way to go about it and

make sure you are set in your priorities,” Veldman told council. “It’s not like you are going to see a doubling of that [traffic] overnight, but over the next five to 10 years I don’t think there is any doubt you are going to see an increase in rail traffic.” Skeena – Bulkley Valley MP Nathan Cullen said he encourages those affected by the ongoing rail noise to contact his office. “If folks in Port Edward and Prince Rupert want to reach out and engage I will certainly welcome that and we have had success with this file in other communities ... [CN] has done noise mitigation on other parts of the line.”

Local election spending to be probed VICTORIA - The Special Committee on Local Elections Expense Limits is examining expense limit amounts for local elections candidates, including limits for mayors, councillors, school trustees and other offices. The all-party committee is also examining expense limit

amounts for third party advertisers. The committee is inviting stakeholders and the public to make a written submission expressing their views on spending limits for candidates and third party advertisers during local elections.

Fewer ships and passengers coming in 2015 cruise season By Shaun Thomas THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - The Prince Rupert Port Authority has released the cruise schedule for the 2015 season, with three fewer vessels and 256 fewer passengers coming to the North Coast than in 2014. In total, seven vessels will bring 3,366 passengers to Prince Rupert between May 31 and September 22, down from 10 vessels and 3,622 passengers last year.

The biggest vessel of the year will be the MS Regatta, which will bring 684 passengers to town on June 13 and July 12 for 10 hours and nine hours, respectively. But before the Regatta arrives, the Seven Seas Navigator will carry 490 passengers to Prince Rupert for eight hours on May 31. The vessel will call on Prince Rupert again on Aug. 10 and Aug. 24, with all calls from the Navigator lasting eight hours. The final two ships to arrive

will be operated by luxury cruise line Ponant, with each vessel carrying 264 passengers. The L’Austral will arrive on Sept. 6 for a five hour visit with Le Boreal will arrive at 2:30 p.m. on Sept. 22 for a fourteen-and-a-half hour visit to wind down the 2015 season. Port authority director of public affairs Ken Veldman was asked about the future of cruise in Prince Rupert during a presentation to Port Edward council on March 10, and said cruise lines making

their way north have undergone some planning changes in recent years. “The reality is that since 2008, the Alaska market has been very flat. On top of being flat, the market has gone to larger ships to be more economical so that they have less stops. Within their itinerary, as opposed to stopping at five places, a lot of them have cut their stops back and secondary ports have lost business and we fall into that category,” he

said. “It’s not gone by any means, even those dozen ships bring in several hundred thousand dollars into the region and the tour packages offered get rave reviews and we often sell out. The product itself is strong.” As for the future of cruise in Prince Rupert, Veldman said the port authority and stakeholders are undertaking a market assessment to determine the best strategy for the next five years.

New minimum raise bumps up 20 cents, matches inflation By Tom Fletcher

THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

VICTORIA - B.C.’s minimum wage is going up by 20 cents in September, and will see annual increases to match the B.C. consumer price index each September after that. It’s the first increase since 2012, when the current wage of $10.25 was set. Jobs Minister Shirley Bond said this year’s increase reflects what would have taken place if indexing to inflation had been in place at that time. The lower minimum wage for restaurant and pub servers is being retained, going from $9 to $9.20 in September. The discount from the general minimum wage will remain at $1.25 per hour to account for tips earned by servers, Bond said. Piece rates for seasonal piece workers are to receive proportional increases, as are day rates paid to live-in camp counsellors and residential caretakers at apartment buildings. B.C. is the last province in Canada to move to

Bish in business…

an automatic formula for setting the minimum wage. The annual increase will be announced each March based on the previous year’s consumer price index, and will take effect each September to give small businesses time to prepare. In the case of negative inflation, which the province experienced briefly in recent years, the minimum wage would not be decreased. Bond said she expects continued debate on the wage rate, led by the B.C. Federation of Labour, which is calling for an immediate increase to $15 an hour. Naomi Yamamoto, B.C.’s minister of state for small business, said consultation with business was clear that employers want predictable increases, not large jumps. The September increase amounts to about two per cent, keeping B.C.’s minimum wage higher than Alberta and Saskatchewan’s $10.20 an hour. Using a similar formula, Ontario’s minimum wage rose to $11 an hour last year.

Tuition, daycare aims to end welfare trap By Tom Fletcher THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

VICTORIA - Single parents on social assistance will no longer lose their benefits when they go back to school, and will receive additional money for tuition, transportation and child care to complete their studies under a program announced Wednesday by the B.C. government. Starting in September, the full costs of child care will continue to be paid for a year after the completion of skills training, and government-paid dental and other health benefits will also continue for a year to give people a chance to get back in the workforce. Social Development Minister Michelle Stilwell said the program will cover training programs up to a year in length, calling it “one of the most significant social program shifts this government has ever introduced.” Children and Family Development Minister Stephanie Cadieux said her ministry will cover daycare for any of the 16,000 single parents on income or disability assistance who want to be trained to join the workforce. KITIMAT COMMUNITY HUMANE SOCIETY “We know that child care costs can be in excess SHELTER of $1,200 [a month], depending where they are in the

province,” Cadieux said. “Sometimes it’s less. We’re just going to make sure that they’re covered.” Surrey single mother Emi Yumura described her struggle to get back to work after leaving a “dysfunctional” relationship and ending up in a transition house with her two-year-old son. This kind of bridge support is what parents in her situation to get off welfare and get established in a job, Yumura said. Jobs Minister Shirley Bond said her ministry has assembled a list of training programs that fit into the one-year window and have good employment prospects. Bond said the provincial program may be able to match up with the federal Canada Job Grant where participating employers pay for part of the training, to extend assistance beyond one year. “While certainly we’re looking at first-year costs and then continuing some of that support, part of my job is to make sure that we have employers that are prepared to step up, to be engaged with these individuals as well,” Bond said.

Gaus has in past been part of Run for the Cure but not the relay. She went to a workshop for the relay put on by the Canadian Cancer Society and met Michelle Taylor, who talked to her about relay when the pair met later to go for coffee and discuss it. Gaus likes a challenge so when Taylor asked her about volunteering for relay, she decided to take it on and moved up here. “Volunteering is a big part of my life and I’m very passionate about giving back,” she said. “I like a challenge and it has been chal-

lenging in a good way.” And she liked Vancouver but also liked the opportunity to get out of the big city to come here, which is a great place. While Gaus is giving her spare time to relay – she works at Volunteer Terrace – and would consider giving her hair

to the groups that make wigs for people, she’s not ready for a head shave like Tanner. Tanner, who offered to shave her head last year if her group raised $10,000, said this year, if the community raises $200,000 for Relay for Life, topping last year’s $141,000 raised, she

will shave her head. So get out your chequebooks and start donating.

Teachers worry plans for hockey academy are ‘elitist’

By Martina Perry THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - Teachers have concerns with the addition of a specialty academy at Prince Rupert Middle School (PRMS) this fall. In February, the Prince Rupert District Teachers’ Union (PRDTU) sent a letter to the school district board of education highlighting concerns with the Prince Rupert Middle School District 52 Hockey Academy, a new program for Grades 6 to 8 students. Developed by the Pacific Rim Hockey Academy and PRMS, the B.C. Ministry of Education-credited course covers educational requirements while offering additional coaching and ice time for hockey players to improve their skills and foundations. Kathy Murphy, PRDTU president, said teachers are concerned with having a private paid service within the public system and the impact it could have on all students. “Parents are expected to pay more than $1,200 for their child to

“There are 65 kids in hockey that play in this particular age group. Of the 65, 41 have signed up,” said Jones, noting many of the remaining players attend Annunciation. However, another issue for the PRDTU was that middle school instructors weren’t part of the academy’s development and weren’t given any information on its structure until after an information meeting for parents was scheduled and newsletters were sent home. PRMS principal Ken Minette said students won’t lose any core instructional time, partaking in three on-ice and two off-ice sessions a week in place of their morning advisory class. “What we’re replacing here is the (health and career education) the (daily physical education) that is taught in advisory class ... It’s relevant and parallels the kind of content we’re teaching at the middle school,” he said, adding students will also participate in communitybased work. “I think ‘academy’ is a little misleading in some ways. It’s a

Public schools are supposed to level the playing field between economic groups but we fear the academy will create a greater rift between ‘have’ and ‘have not’ students,” reads the letter. “Given that many of our students deal with poverty issues, it seems elitist to institute an academy for a sport known to be one of the most expensive offered in our community.” The PRDTU questioned what steps the board will take to ensure the academy doesn’t turn PRMS into a two-tiered school and how it will ensure all students have the same options regardless of economic status. Superintendent Sandra Jones spoke in favour of the academy during the March 10 school board meeting, stating it has already generated a lot of interest. “To be part of the hockey academy, you would need to play hockey,” she said, adding the minor hockey association has a hardship fund that’s used.

Teachers question what the Board of Education will do to prevent further social divide. hockey course.” After debating the topic, trustees directed the superintendent to respond to questions raised by the teachers’ union. “I’m glad trustees discussed

this, but wish it had happened sooner,” said Murphy. The Prince Rupert Middle School District 52 Hockey Academy will run during the first semester of the 2015-16 school year.

Prince Rupert School District projecting $25,000 shortfall By Martina Perry THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - With less than a month to go before the 2015/16 school year budget is brought to the board of education for approval, the Prince Rupert School District (SD52) hosted a consultation meeting to gather input. At the final date in a series of advisory budget consultation meetings with the public and stakeholders, there were no new comments made by those in attendance. Cam McIntyre, secretary-treasurer of SD52, was able to provide a clear view of the financial situation the district is in, as the B.C. Ministry of Education had recently announced its official funding totals. SD52 will receive more than $25.8-million in funding overall. However, a budget shortfall of more than $25,000 is currently being projected. Due to declining funding protection, SD52 will receive $366,000 less from the provincial government in the 2015/16 school year. McIntyre also informed those in attendance that SD52 will be required to cut $149,000 in administrative costs in the next school year. “We don’t have clear instruction as to what that’s going to entail,” he said. But it wasn’t all bad news. McIntyre said SD52 received an additional $567,000 from labour settlements. “What we were happy to hear was that the ministry provided districts with the extra funding for the labour settlements without it impacting funding protection,” he said. Furthermore, the cost of utilities is expected to go down thanks to a number of energy upgrades that have taken place around the district. The Prince Rupert School District is eligible for $24,611,000 in provincial funding, but after reducing administrative costs by $149,000 it will get $24,462,00. When other funding sources are

taken into consideration, the preliminary revenue figure for the 2015/16 budget is $25,853,000. With projected wages and benefit costs sitting at $23,305,000, on top of $3,432,000 in supplies and services, SD52 is looking at a projected deficit of $884,000. But the shortfall grows when additional expenses, such as a $45,000 capital reserve for vehicle replacement and $11,000 for employee future benefits, are taken into

consideration. this year’s budget. However, McIntyre warned that McIntyre noted SD52 could Assuming all of the projected with funding protection declining have as much as $915,000 in un- surplus is used to balance the bud- each year, the district needs to start restricted surplus by June’s end, as get, there would be an estimated thinking strategically at what that there’s currently $387,000 of sur- shortfall of $25,000. will look like. plus available from the previous school year, with another $528,000 exBox 404, Prince Rupert, BC V8J 3R2 pected to be left over from ph: 250-624-8338 email prhomecoming2015@citywest.ca

Retirement caps off extensive careers in rescue services Bob became a Ground Search and Rescue Instructor in 1973, and a Provincial Search Manager in 1983. He served on the Provincial Search and Rescue Advisory Committee, from 1999 to 2003, representing all Northwest Region SAR groups, and in 2004, he was selected as the SAR volunteer of the year. His role in emergency management blended with SAR at first. He became the Provincial Emergency Program Deputy Area Coordinator for Kitimat from 1979 to 1983 and then the Area Coordinator from 1983 to 1990. That position was responsible for the area covered by the boundaries of the Kitimat RCMP, and coordinated Search and Rescue activities for both land and (until the formation of the Coast Guard Auxiliary) marine rescue on Douglas Channel and adjacent waterways. He was responsible for emergency management activities in his paid job at Alcan during this time as well. Bob’s most recent role has been in emergency management in Kitimat, that of coordinator of the

KITIMAT - It was a parade of admiration for a retiring member of the community. On January 31 Mayor Phil Germuth, members for the Kitimat Fire Department, Kitimat Search & Rescue, and Emergency Social Services, gathered at the Rod and Gun Hall at a retirement celebration for Bob and Joyce MacLeod, to thank them for their many years of volunteer service to the community of Kitimat, and the Northwest region. The evening was full of touching stories, which highlighted Bob’s dedication, expertise and leadership, and Joyce’s support, dedication, and caring nature. Bob’s first search and rescue involvement was back in 1961. He was with the RCMP Auxiliary for 25 years, from 1967 to 1994, and coordinated both police and search and rescue training. At that time, the auxiliaries were the core SAR group for the community.

Kitimat Emergency Program since 2000. Last but not least, Bob was a recipient of the Queen’s Jubilee medal in 2012 for volunteer activities. For Joyce, she started out in her volunteer career as an administrative assistant to the local Search and Rescue team, and eventually became the Deputy Emergency Social Services Director. In 2002, two hikers went missing on Mount Elizabeth, and while Bob managed the search which included many SAR volunteers that came here from around the province, Joyce and her team made sure those searchers were kept from going hungry. Over the years Joyce has pitched in to help other communities when they were in need, such as in Terrace during the floods of 2002 and both Kamloops and Kelowna during the 2003 firestorm. Closer to home, Joyce trained with provincial Northwest TEAMS group through 2006 and worked in the PREOC during 2007 freshet, as did Bob.

In addition to all this, Joyce wanted to share her valuable experience with other communities so she volunteered as an Emergency Social Services instructor with the Justice Institute of BC. Joyce also represented her community and our region even further on the Emergency Social Services Association Board of Directors and their Advisory Forum. In 2010, Joyce was selected as the provincial ESS Volunteer of the Year. This potluck-style retirement

celebration for Bob and Joyce was organized by Kitimat Search and Rescue members. The evening was enjoyed by all, and was a very well deserved tribute to Bob and Joyce for their contribution and all the volunteer hours they have graciously given our community. The local SAR appreciates how Bob and Joyce have cared for, and supported the community and region. They have left big boots to fill. They are wished every happiness with their quieter times.

Thornhill fire department looks for volunteers to bolster ranks By Margaret Speirs

THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

TERRACE - THE THORNHILL Volunteer Fire Department could use more volunteers at its satellite hall which serves the Lakelse Lake and Jackpine Flats areas, says chief Wes Patterson. Without enough firefighters for more outlying areas, insurance companies could very well decide there’s an increased risk factor and then raise rates. That hasn’t happened yet in the area, but it has happened in other parts of B.C., said Patterson. “We’re lucky that our tax base allows us the equipment we need and [the ability to] maintain it well and provide training but it’s no good if we don’t have volunteers,” said Patterson. The only other alternative would be to put paid firefighters at satellite halls but the call volume would not make the expense cost effective, he added. The satellite hall covering Lakelse Lake and Jackpine Flats is one of two such halls, the other is at Gitaus east of Thornhill on Hwy16, serving as ancillary facilities to the department’s main hall immediately adjacent to the Thornhill Community Grounds and the closed Thorn-

hill Junior Secondary School. Patterson said ideally he’d like 15 volunteer firefighters attached to each satellite hall. Volunteers are always welcome and overall, the all-volunteer department, with the exception of Patterson and deputy chief Rick Boehm, has a good complement of volunteers. Regular training days are on Thursdays but now there’s also training on Mondays for those who can’t make it Thursdays. That training day option has helped retain volunteers, says deputy chief Rick Boehm. Another aspect that has helped built up the force’s volunteer contingent is its junior program for youth age 16 to 19. “What that allows them to do is basically be part of the functioning department, excluding [live firefighting], so they can participate in training and live fire training but we will not send them to a burning building,” said Boehm who was a cadet himself. “It’s a huge advantage if youths are dedicated, by the time they’re 19, they can write their ticket and go into fire departments because we will provide the training,” he added. Aside from needing firefighters at the Lakelse Lake hall and

a few more at its second satellite hall at Gitaus, the department is fairly well served, said Boehm. About 10 per cent of the department is people older than 50, with the majority of the crew in the 35 to 50 age range. “We haven’t established a mandatory age [for retirement],” said Boehm, adding that older firefighters can still drive the truck or help with hoses. The department will also take into account physical limitations, he said. “Not everyone has got a good strong back, but they can do 80 per cent of the work,” said Boehm. The deputy chief also pointed to a camaraderie within the department that extends to offering emotional support when needed. “You have to be in tune with every person to make the whole team work,” said Boehm. “A lot of departments have a suck-it-up attitude and that’s not what we do.” “I think if you can emotionally support and pick up the person and help them achieve that goal, they can hold their head high as opposed to struggling and feeling they can’t get it done and that someone else has to finish it instead.”

Growth conference a hit By Martina Perry THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT- Following the success of the inaugural Northwest Growth Conference (NWGC), organizers say a second conference is in the works. More than 200 delegates attended the conference in Prince Rupert on March 6 and 7 to learn of the $60-billion in major projects proposed in the area. Aimed at new and existing entrepreneurs and investors in Prince Rupert, Terrace and Kitimat, the NWGC consisted of speakers, workshops and networking opportunities. “It was the caliber of information provided and the invaluable networking connections that made the conference substantial for both small businesses and stakeholders alike,” said Terrace Mayor Carol Leclerc, who attended the event along with Prince Rupert Mayor Lee Brain and Port Edward Mayor Dave MacDonald. The NWGC allowed entrepreneurs to take in expert advice on topics such as branding, financing and joint venturing with First Nations. They were then able to follow-up with the experts in one-on-one coaching sessions. “As a small business owner, it can be a challenge to find mentors and business advice that fits within a small budget. But the Northwest Growth Conference for small to medium businesses fostered an environment that helps those businesses to succeed, to discover and implement new ideas for growth and success,” said Christy Allen

of the Pioneer Guesthouse. A panel of industry reps gave an overview of economic development opportunities in the Northwest, the implications for small and medium-sized enterprises in the region and how to become involved. Another panel touched on the darker side of growth, with a seasoned panel of business leaders from sudden growth economies likes Fort St. John, Dawson Creek and Kitimat speaking of their experiences. Furthermore, keynote speaker Michael H. Shuman provided information on creating a stronger business community able to withstand external pressures, with entrepreneurs like Prince Rupert’s Herb Pond and Terrace’s Lucy Praught sharing stories during a “Failure Wake” that showed failure is often the best path to long-term success. Fresh Onion Café and Catering was one of seven businesses providing cuisine samples during the Taste of the Coast, with owner Kristina Horne saying the activity was a great networking opportunity. “We were able to talk to the other vendors in town and see how business has changed over the year, how they are handling the new opportunities and what changes they have made in promoting and keeping up with the services they are providing,” Horne said. The Northwest Growth Conference was organized through a partnership with Community Futures of the Pacific Northwest, the Hecate Strait Employment Development Society and the Prince Rupert and Port Edward Economic Development Corporation.

Rainmakers finish third at provincials By Kevin Campbell

THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - The scrutiny was real. The added pressure of being a known entity in the upper echelons of the B.C. high school basketball scene threw the Charles Hays Rainmakers senior boys’ AAA squad under the spotlight as provincials came and went. And they didn’t blink under that glare. A terrific showing on the West Coast’s biggest stage was what the Rainmakers accomplished, winning third-place in the 16-team 2015 TELUS BC High School Boys AAA Basketball Championship in Langley last weekend. It might not have been gold and there might have been a sour taste in the mouths of the players immediately after Friday’s semifinals loss to the first-ranked Sir Charles Tupper Tigers from Vancouver, but the Prince Rupert team that had everyone talking leading up to the tournament as the upstart squad from the North Coast did as much damage in the tourney as they were expected to. That, in itself, is a great thing. The ‘Makers’ only loss came in the form of Friday’s defeat at the hands of the Tigers, who gave Charles Hays no time or space to produce much of anything in terms of offence. They fell 63-40 to the Tigers, who would eventually claim second-place in one of the tightest

BCHIGHSCHOOLBASKETBALLCHAMPIONSHIPS.COM/ THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

Rosendo Masocol drives the net for Charles Hays in their 63-40 loss against Sir Charles Tupper on Friday afternoon. The Rainmakers won third-place at provincials. AAA championship games to have ever been played in B.C. against Fleetwood Park Secondary from

Surrey. Fleetwood Park mounted an incredible comeback versus the Tigers, who had been favourites all

week, to win the B.C. crown 73-65. Other than Friday’s game, the Rainmakers ran the table, winning both other qualifying matches and their third-place game on Saturday, historically one of the toughest games for any team of any sport to get up for, with the Rainmakers having their first-place dreams quashed not even 24 hours prior. In that third-place matchup, the ‘Makers proved to the province and to themselves that they were worthy of all the talk and admiration they had garnered over the past year. They stormed out to a 20-12 advantage after the first quarter over their foes, R.A. McMath Secondary of Richmond and never fell behind after that, with point guard Rosendo Masocol doing what he does best, driving the play up the court and passing the ball to whoever had the best looks to sink it. With that dominant play, the Rainmakers locked up third-place on Saturday afternoon, 77-61. In their two opening games, Charles Hays downed Courtenay B.C.’s Mark Isfeld Ice on Wednesday 62-49 with both Justin McChesney and Kaine Wesley sinking 19 points to lead the ‘Makers offensively and Perry Terrell getting 10. Following that, Charles Hays’ next dancing partner was Abbotsford’s Robert Bateman Secondary, who they beat on Thursday with an incredible second half performance, 72-58. The Rainmakers scored 43

Marlins a strong second in Smithers By Jason Cathers THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

KITIMAT - The Kitimat Marlins competed at the Smithers regional swim meet recently. The Terrace and Prince Rupert team were also in attendance. With strong results from the attending Marlins they were able to place a close second in overall points behind host Smithers who had double the amount of swimmers competing as Kitimat. Alex van Horne, 11, reached his second AAA provincial qualifying standard in the 11 and under boys 50 meter butterfly. By reaching two time standards he now qualifies for the long course (50 meter pool) AAA Provincial championships which will be held in July in Victoria. Van Horne took the bronze medal for overall points in the 11-12 boys division. Other medal winners for the Marlins were Jayden

Johnston, 10, with gold in the 10 and under boys and Angus Bathe, 10, who took the bronze in the division. Olivia Pearson, 10, took the silver medal for overall points in the 10-11 girls division and older sister Hannah Pearson, 12, took the silver medal in the 12-13 girls divison. Also in that divison Leah Desousa, 12, took the bronze medal. The Marlins had two medal winners in the 13-14 boys with Nolan striker, 14, taking the bronze and Ethan Velho, 14, taking the gold. In the 14 and over girls Laurence Boucher, 14, took the bronze medal while Brander Pacheco, 16, took the gold medal in the 15 and over boys division. Swimmers who accomplished the tough task of swimming 100 per cent personal best times in all six of their races were Iris striker, Leah Desousa, Jayden Johnston, Alex Van Horne, Emilie Krabes and Ethan Velho.

points in the latter two quarters to overtake Bateman, compared to 29 in the first half to set them up for the semis against Tupper. That game, which featured 11 lead changes, saw Perry Terrell notch 24 points and Masocol 15. It was a complete team effort that coach Mel Bishop had previously been pleased to see for the majority of the season. With a healthy roster, the Rainmakers served notice that while they may have a star on the B.C. under-17 team in McChesney, the supporting cast of Masocol, Wesley, Terrell, Kevin Cochrane, Jakob Henry, Cole Marogna, Kyler Reece and Brett Thompson could just as easily harm their opponent. On the bench, Kyler Eckess, Jalene Stephens, Aiden Bull, Nick Campbell, Mitchell Nelson, Bobby Bob and Carter Thorson were happy to step up when called upon. With his outstanding play in the box, McChesney was named the tournament’s Most Outstanding Defensive Player and Masocol found his name on the second team all-star list. Charles Hays has also been the team most consistently near the top of the standings over the past two years, going 6-2 (3-1 in each year’s championship tourney) and taking second-place in 2014 along with their third-place showing this year. The next closest team at the top of the heap are the Tigers who finished in fifth last year, and second this year.

It’s a team effort for Terrace Bluebacks club

TERRACE - The Terrace Bluebacks brought home four medals from the Smithers swim meet earlier this month and each of the 23 athletes who competed contribtued to the team’s score. Grace Lukasser took home bronze for the 9 & Under Girls, her first medal. Avery Back was awarded bronze for the 10-11 girls. Jake Kluss scored silver for the 10 and under boys. While Mackenzie Bannister continued to shine with her gold medal for the 10-11 girls.
