Tourism season more than holding its own in Terrace and area, says local manager By Jackie Lieuwen

THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

TERRACE - Tourism in the area is down from last year but has increased when compared to the years prior to 2014, says Kermodei Terrace manager Tyler Clarke. “Numbers this year are down a bit from 2014, but that’s not to say tourism as a whole is down... Overall numbers are on a climb,” he said. In conversations with restaurants, hotels and motels, Clarke says they report numbers are healthy. Clarke did note that many tourists come through the region

in recreational vehicles and other wheeled accommodation, often on a circle tour. “Terrace is situated at the influx of two different circle tours. [There are] people coming up doing the Great Alaskan Circle Tour and others who are getting their RV in Vancouver, coming up through northern B.C. and taking BC Ferries back down south,” Clarke said. He says many of those tourists stay in Terrace because it is a convenient stop and only an hour and a half from ferry terminals at Prince Rupert. In terms of who is coming through, Clarke says it is mostly people from B.C. and Alberta and

the western American states of Alaska, Washington, California, and Oregon. There are also quite a few Europeans. “A lot of the Europeans are coming here for the fishing and the outdoors,” said Clarke. “The cultural and historical aspects are more of a secondary product for them.” Among the tourists stopping at the Kermodei Tourism infocentre last week were Tony and Margaret Powsey, a retired couple from Vancouver Island who came to Canada from England in 1969. They took the ferry up from Port Hardy to Prince Rupert and picked up their motorhome, left

there by some friends who had previously taken the opposite route. The couple said they had wanted to visit Terrace while still in England decades ago, when they read a book about a Dutch couple who had settled here. “It was very interesting and we always had Terrace in the back of our minds,” said Margaret. The couple is travelling with their granddaughter Iyla. Margaret says this area is lush and green compared to their hometown of Cumberland, where rain has been scarce and water restrictions are in place. “It’s beautiful here,” she said.

Kitimat council gets down and dirty over sewer service By Cameron Orr THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

KITIMAT - There was heated discussion at the August 4 council meeting on, of all things, the sewer system. Or more specifically, whether the District of Kitimat should take on responsibility of sewer connections the developer of the Crossroads — that large cleared lot next to the Chamber of Commerce — have to build to service the site. Those utilities are a challenge to development of the site, which has to connect to the sewage main at Lahakas and Quatsino Boulevard, as there is no capacity to

connect to the Nechako lines. There are two sides to whether the District should take on the ongoing responsibility of the utilities developed by the site. District staff formally recommended that the town not take on the responsibility of the Crossroad’s sanitary sewer because doing so “could be viewed as assisting a commercial operation,” which would be a large conflict for council to approve. Staff’s report to council also note that the work camp owned by Civeo will have their own sewage lift station and main, as will a pro-

posed townhouse development on Kingfisher. The existing Kitimat Official Community Plan also does not envision further developments of this sort in the area — which is served by septic tank systems — so staff did not see the value in taking on the cost of maintaining the system. Councillor Mario Feldhoff disagreed, who presented a motion counter to staff’s recommendation. His motion would have council accepting Crossroad developer Horizon North’s proposal for the District to take on approximately 27 kilometers of sewer main.

Feldhoff said that future developments in that area can’t be discounted with a growing community and while the service would initially benefit the one development it would open up the possibility for further developments in that area. Basically to do so will open up future opportunities. There are uncertain-

shouldn’t. Ultimately though Larry Walker and Rob Goffinet were outnumbered in a vote, and council has approved the plan to take on the responsibility of the line. The Crossroards is a planned 300 room hotel and a 1,000 bed work camp. A covenant is on the property between the developer and the District

that the hotel will have to be constructed as well as the camp. When the Crossroads plan was initially brough to council it was a proposal by a different company, Bryton Group, who has since sold it to Horizons North. The complex may also include restaurants and meeting room spaces available for renting out.

Dark clouds swirl over gold mine resumption By Shaun Thomas

THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - As Banks Island Gold awaits word on whether or not it can resume operations at the mine following a pollution spill, a financial update from the company raises questions about whether or not the company will remain financially viable. On July 30 trading of the company’s shares was halted at the request of Banks Island Gold and on Aug. 4 the company announced it had suspended all operations at the Yellow Giant Mine effective July 31. “The company ... will put the mine into care and maintenance until permitting and regulatory issues at the project are resolved and the company has sufficient working capital to recommence operations,” read a statement. “The Yellow Giant Mine provided direct employment for over 100 people and indirect employment for many more, whose families depend on the mine operating. Further information on suspension of operations will be released when available.” In that same announcement, Banks Island Gold revealed some financial information and warned that more money will be needed if the mine is to continue regardless of regulatory approval. “As a result of the subsequent

events ... resulting production delays, uncertain timelines for successful permit amendments and current working capital deficiency, the company needs to seek immediate financing. Inability to do so at terms acceptable to the company and in a timely manner would cast significant doubt on the company’s ability to continue as a going concern,” reads a statement from Banks Island Gold. Meanwhile, North Coast MLA Jennifer Rice weighed in on the issue, noting she has been following it closely since a mine worker reported concerns to NDP MLA Norm MacDonald on July 4. “I have contacted the Gitxaala First Nation and have attempted to contact the company to get their views on a truly perplexing story,” she said, alluding to earlier reports that the mine was continuing to operate despite the shut down order. “My primary concern is representing the interests of my constituents, the Gitxaala Nation, the mine workers and those concerned about potential environmental damage. Conflicting media reports have made this a difficult story to assess fully and I will continue to do that work so that the North Coast is effectively represented in Victoria.” According to stockhouse.com, shares in Banks Island Gold fell from a high of 52 cents on Aug. 18, 2014 to just five cents on July 30, 2015.

Scholarship changing By Jackie Lieuwen

THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

TERRACE - Local school school district chair Art Erasmus says he is looking forward to a revamped provincial scholarship program that includes honours for trades students. “Trades are going to be important as we move forward. The Passport to Education [program] was not based on that,” he said. The Passport to Education program

officially ended with this year’s crop of Grade 12 graduates. Based on marks, it provided $250 to top Grade 10 and 11 students and $500 for the top Grade 12 students, to enable and encourage post secondary studies. The provincial education ministry announced three years ago it was phasing out the program in favour of one aimed at more classes of students. The changes follow a review which showed “a desire for a broader, more robust” program.

Pulp mill decommissioning contract awarded

PET OF THE WEEK

By Kevin Campbell THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - Watson Island has found its industrial grim reaper. More than a few things may be headed to the mechanical afterlife through the decommissioning of a very large portion of what was once the Watson Island Pulp Mill. Its assets will be removed by NRI Group, an Ontario-based asset management firm familiar with paper mill sites throughout North America. “We are pleased to be able to move forward with the decommissioning of the pulp mill, which will enable the site to be repurposed so that Watson Island can again contribute to the economy of Prince Rupert,” said Mayor Lee Brain last week.

Kitimat contributes to northwest readiness program By Cameron Orr THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

KITIMAT - The District of Kitimat has been used as a model for planning purposes provincially, says Executive Director for the provincial government’s Northwest Readiness program Nichola Wade. Wade gave councillors an overview of the program, the first time for the new council. “We’ve taken what you’ve learned about work camps and are applying those to areas of impact,” said Wade as an

example of local lessons applied elsewhere. While her presentation was mainly an overview, she was still pressed on some notable Kitimat areas of ‘readiness’, as she was encouraged to take council’s concerns to other layers of government. Haisla Bridge was brought up, as the mayor says he doesn’t want to delay mega projects due to an aging bridge. Wade agreed that it is an area of priority for the ministry of transportation. She said the bridge poses challenges

because “tragically it’s yours yet it’s a significant investment to upgrade, to replace...It is most definitely on the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure’s [minds].” Larry Walker emphasized a need to develop the tourism industry, which to him includes a more comprehensive rail transportation system for the winter, and the release of Crown lands to the District for local development. Mario Feldhof meanwhile inquired about taxation issues,

encouraging the government, via Wade, to not limit a municipality’s ability to set property tax rates on major industries, noting that communities such as Kitimat have been fair and balanced in how they’ve approached the matter in the past. Wade responded that her ministry, the Ministry of Community, Sport and Cultural Development, has been focused on facilitating the tax process so that other ministries don’t feel the need to look at the issue broadly, as has been sug-

gested in the past. Wade said she has facilitated tax negotiations between the Petronas LNG project in Port Edward and that municipality, which she said was needed because of

the multi-billion dollar project setting up in a community of under 1,000 with a usual operating budget of just $2 million. She’s also facilitated service agreements

between that project and Prince Rupert, and played a role in the recent project development agreement between Pacific Northwest LNG (PNW) and the province.

Horgan’s man stays in Alberta By Tom Fletcher THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

???????? VICTORIA - B.C. NDP leader John Horgan’s chief of staff has resigned to take a senior job with the Alberta NDP government. Lawyer John Heaney took unpaid leave from his B.C. job in May to serve as acting associate deputy minister for policy and planning for Alberta. Horgan announced Monday that Heaney “is in discussions with the Government of Alberta regarding a senior policy position. “While I am sorry to lose his talent here in British Columbia, I am not surprised he has

JOHN HORGAN proven to be invaluable to Premier Rachel Notley and the new NDP government of Alberta.” Horgan’s deputy chief of staff Suzanne Christensen will assume the job she has been filling in an acting capac-

ity since Heaney’s departure from Victoria, and any further changes to political staff will be made in September, Horgan said. Heaney’s jump to a newly created senior administration role with a top salary of $287,000 a year caused a stir in Edmonton, with opposition Wildrose Party MLAs accusing Notley of politicizing the civil service. “Using the non-partisan public service to reward a partisan apparatchik is very dangerous to the ability of the public service to do what is in the best interests of all Albertans,” Wildrose finance critic Derek Fildebrandt told the Edmonton Journal in May. “It is the very thing

the Tories have done for decades.”

Heaney attracted similar criticism during his days with B.C. NDP premier Mike Harcourt’s government, where he ran a

“public issues and consultation branch” that was part of the B.C. public service.

Inquest ordered into death of woman in Terrace cells after police responded to a call about a civil dispute between landlord/tenant on Kalum Street, reported Terrace RCMP September 4, 2013. She was found in medical distress in the cells at the Terrace RCMP detachment about 14 hours after she had been taken into custody, said the coroners office in its announcement of the inquest last week. She was taken to Mills Memorial Hospital and later flown to Vancouver General Hospital for more treatment but died September 10,

By Margaret Speirs

THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

TERRACE - A public inquest into the death of a woman who became ill while in RCMP cells here two years ago is set to take place this fall. The BC Coroners Service has scheduled the inquest into the death of Alyssa Josephine Talina George, also known as Alyssa Oleksiuk, to start Oct. 19. George, 25, had been arrested on outstanding warrants from here, Edmonton and Fort Saskatchewan

2013, continued the coroners announcement. Presiding coroner Donita Kuzma and a jury will hear evidence from witnesses under oath to determine the facts surrounding this death. The five-person jury will have the opportunity to make recommendations aimed at preventing deaths under similar circumstances – the jury’s role is not to find fault. The inquest is expected to take several days, says the coroners service. Inquests are no longer automat-

ically called when a person dies in police custody, and RCMP officials and others say George was not considered to be in custody at the time of her death. The RCMP did say an internal review was underway. Staff Sgt. Rob Vermeulen, speaking for the RCMP, said due to the upcoming inquest, he could not comment on whether the investigation had been completed. The Independent Investigations Office (IIO) of BC, which investigates officer-related incidents of death or serious harm in order to determine whether or not an offi-

cer may have committed an offence, decided not to investigate the case. “So with this particular case, while there was a death, our preliminary investigation determined there was no relationship or nexus between the death and an officer’s actions/inactions,” said Kellie Kilpatrick, executive director public accountability for the IIO. Of the 300 cases the office receives each year, it declines about 25 per cent based on the information it receives from police report, and takes on about 25 per cent of the cases immediately, she explained.

Province issues drug warning VICTORIA - Chief coroner Lisa Lapointe has issued a public statement regarding recent drug-related deaths, reminding drug users of the risks associated with all illicit drug use. “The recent publicity surrounding drugoverdose deaths in which fentanyl has been detected in post-mortem analyses gives the BC Coroners Service the opportunity to again remind users that it is not possible to be sure of the contents of any illic-

it drugs,” said Lapointe. “It is essential that those who use these drugs take all possible steps to minimize their risk.” “While fentanyl is currently attracting attention as a newer drug of abuse, it’s important to remember that any substance bought from an illicit source poses significant risks for users.” The statement comes in light of a report issued by the Canadian Centre n Substance Abuse which noted a marked increase in fen-

tanyl-detected deaths across Canada in the past four years. The BC Coroners Service (BCCS) confirmed that the same

pattern has been seen in B.C., with 54 drug overdose deaths in which fentanyl was detected in the five months starting Jan. 1, 2015.

Northern Health has urged safety for ATV riders, as it’s a leading cause of sports-related injury and death.

ATV safety encouraged By Cameron Orr THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

KITIMAT - All-terrain-vehicle (ATV) riders, particularly men, should be sure to exercise caution when out in the back country. In the Northwest area of the Northern Health Authority, of which we’re a part, 263 files, from 2001 to 2012, were reported of hospitalizations relating to injuries from off-road vehicle use. Out of the 1,558 total files in the entire Northern Health region, 1,279 of those were of men. Northern Health is pushing for ATV safety due to the high prevalance of cases, which over that time frame has cost over $8 million in direct health care cost, not including other costs such as rehabilitation. The largest demographic of people at risk are men 15 to 29 years old, and youth in general. “We also experience a much higher rate of ATV related injuries than the rest of the province,” said Shellie O’Brien, Northern Health Injury Prevention Coordinator. She says intoxication is a big reason that accidents happen, or not wear-

ing safety gear such as helmets. Holly Christian, Northern Health’s regional lead on men’s health and activity, says the prevalance of men’s injuries from the sport is partly a factor of men being the largest user group of ATVs, but also says men are more likely than women to engage in risky riding behaviour. ATV injuries, she adds, are still the leading cause of sports-related hospitalizations in Northern Health. Between 2006 and 2011 there were 33 ATV-related deaths, half of which involved drugs or alcohol. Her key emphasis is that all ATV injuries are preventable. “We want everyone to make it home safely,” she said. Sergeant Al Steinhauser with the North District RCMP says files involving ATVs have been rising rapidly this year. Now in the peak season he says calls come in each day regarding an ATV injury. Kitimat Sgt. Graham Morgan says they don’t keep records specifically on ATV incidents, but it is a matter the RCMP here deal with. The detachment has their own ATVs and conduct patrols regularly.

Anti-violence measures increase at four hospitals By Tom Fletcher THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

VICTORIA - The B.C. health ministry is adding an extra $2 million to improve security at four facilities identified as having the highest risk for violence. Extra staff, new alarms and violence prevention training will be among strategies for Forensic Psychiatric Hospital in Port Coquitlam, Hillside Centre in Kamloops, Seven Oaks Tertiary Mental Health in Victoria

and Abbotsford Regional Hospital. Health Minister Terry Lake announced the extra funding Thursday with B.C. Nurses’ Union president Gayle Duteil. Eight more health facilities have been identified as priorities for additional help, and more are expected to be identified this fall, Lake said. Duteil said increased staffing around the clock at Hillside psychiatric hospital mean that nurses will no longer have to

work alone. She said violence is a risk for all health care facilities in the province, including residential care. “Health care workers as a whole receive the highest number of WorkSafeBC injury claims for violence-related injuries across this province,” Duteil said. “They actually have more injuries that police officers related to violence.” Duteil said a nurse at the Abbotsford emergency room has not returned to work after

an assault in March left him with stitches to his face. Fraser Health reported that there were three security guards on duty at the time who responded immediately to what police described as a sudden, unprovoked attack by a 23-year-old man. Lake said the ministry committed $37 million to violence education in 2011. Since then the annual total of “Code White” violence incidents has declined from 4,300 a year to 3,700.

South African firefighters train in B.C. By Tom Fletcher THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

VICTORIA - As forest firefighters from Ontario and Australia head home home, a group of 25 firefighters from South Africa have arrived in B.C. to assist and train with crews still busy with 140 fires.

Forests Minister Steve Thomson said the South Africans were to arrive in Abbotsford this week for orientation, after training with crews in Alberta. They are paired with B.C. firefighters to continue training to internationals standards, as they were doing in Alberta.

About 150 other visiting firefighters, mostly from Ontario and Australia, are expected to have headed home by Aug. 11. Thomson said there were 31 new fire starts over the B.C. Day long weekend, 13 of them human caused. That includes the Wood Lake fire

KITIMAT - If you’ve ever wanted to see the world as birds do, it’s surprisingly not that hard. Researcher Ann Chen from New York visited Kitimat July 25 to deliver a workshop on aerial mapping, one stop in a series tied to a research grant she received through the Fulbright-National Geographic Digital Storytelling Fellowship. Her task is to visit communities along the proposed Northern Gateway Pipelines route to use multimedia tools to piece together a kind of documentary, using mapping, video and text. “I’m sharing these tools to show people how they can take high quality aerial photography using low-tech means,” said Chen. The tools themselves were developed by a non-profit group called Public Lab. She said using a doit-yourself style of aerial photography. It then means people don’t have to wait until someone with professional equipment comes along. As a bonus too, Public Lab has a relationship with Google, says Chen, which means the Internet-giant will periodically take the public images uploaded to Public Lab through their Map Knitter program to use in Google Maps. “The work you make can become part of this larger program

that everyone uses,” she said. As for the how-to, point-and-shoot cameras can be affixed to weather balloons or kites attached to a kite reel. She personally uses a recycled juice box to house the camera itself. And then she uses a rubber-band contraption as the basic way to keep the shutter button pressed to allow for photography. Once you’re done

you reel the camera back to ground and pick out the best photos on the memory card. The Map Knitter program from Public Lab is free and people can use it to stitch the photos they’ve taken in to a larger map. Chen said she’s come to the north as she has an interest in communities which face rapid changes, a fact of life in many northern communities she says. “The landscape and the geography is chang-

ing all the time,” she said, due to things like construction or other activity. “This is an interesting way to tell a story from a different perspective.” As an example, she said she floated down the Nechako River in Vanderhoof and took aerial photos. This was around the time of a water release by Rio Tinto Alcan. She said comparing her photos to others on

Mayor outlines the “Re:Build Rupert” infrastructure plan By Kevin Campbell THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - The City of Prince Rupert has heard the public’s outcry concerning potholes, cracked sidewalks and derelict roads and city council is ready and willing to address every single one in the city. That’s the theory and developed plan behind ‘Re:Build Rupert’, a new initiative developed by Mayor Lee Brain, council and the engineering department designed to identify, fix, replace or generally improve every asset and piece of infrastructure that the city owns over the next 10 – 20 years and beyond. “It [looks at] the whole picture of the town in terms of how much it would cost to get the town back to a point where things aren’t kind of crumbling in nature,” said Mayor Brain last week. It won’t be easy and it won’t be cheap. Re:Build Rupert will tackle a $288 million infrastructure deficit that includes road work, bridge upkeep, water dam and water line upkeep and the biggest single expense of all – an estimated $150 million water treatment plant that the city is being mandated to build. “Right now we have the storm water and waste water in one pipe that goes into the ocean. We’d have to separate every line, so we’d have to duo off every line and then you’d have a waste water line and a storm water line, like other cities have,” said Mayor Brain. “That would require us to basically replace every pipe in town and twin them off.” The deficit will be addressed through various funding means as they present themselves in the coming years. The city has already tackled the deficit starting this year through an additional $1 million into road infrastructure on top of the existing budget, a $4.4 million upgrade to the water lines through provincial and federal investment announced earlier in July and a Fraser Street revamp that fixes crumbling infrastructure beneath the ground that was labelled a high priority project for awhile now, said the mayor. “That’s about $7 million invested in infrastructure in the community and probably the

biggest amount of infrastructure investment in who knows how long now. So we’re actually being very aggressive in tackling the infrastructure problem that we have over the next 10 to

20 years. It’s not going to happen overnight, but we’re attracting grants, we’re working well with the province, we’ve got developments coming on the table that have the potential to help fund a

lot of this stuff, so we’re getting excited. [With Re:Build Rupert], council wanted to say to the community: ‘Look, we’re being proactive and we’re ready to rebuild the town’,” said the

mayor. The city’s engineering department has drafted a 20-year program, identifying priority projects that will be addressed. As each project is funded, it will

appear on the city’s annual report for that year and within the budget, though the city is hesitant to release the list all at once, should immediate problems delay funding for a project.

The city will, however, publish a chart where people can track each facet of the deficit that explains how much road work will cost, as well as the bridges, water treatment and more.

Ski hills develop add-on options By Josh Massey

THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

SUBMITTED / THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

Kleanza Cathers was one of two qualifying swimmers to attend a major Quebec City event, but the only one to actually go due to training opportunities in the lead up.

Swimmer competes at national event By Jason Cathers

THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

KITIMAT - The Kitimat Marlins had two swimmers qualify for the Canadian age group nationals swimming championships in Quebec City over the August 8-9 weekend. To qualify the two swimmers had to reach the tough qualifying times in three events for their age group. The qualifying times are based on the top 50 fastest times in the country for each age group from the previous season. There are thousands of competitive swimmers in each age group across Canada so to be among the top 50 fastest times is a great accomplishment.

To understand how fast those times are Zachary Dumas and Kleanza Cathers from the Marlins had to establish Northwest B.C. regional records in the 15 and over category in each event they qualified in to reach those standards. Unfortunately because of the Kitimat pool closure only Cathers was able to train in July by living with family in Vancouver and training there to attend the swim meet in Quebec City. Cathers had some great results while competing with the best 15 year old girl swimmers in the country at the age group nationals. Her best result came in the distance event the 1500 meter freestyle. Cathers was seeded 18th and finished 15th with a per-

sonal best time by 10 seconds lowering her regional record in the process. She also had an excellent swim in the 800 meter freestyle. Cathers already held the regional record in the event short course (25 meter pool). She took 15 seconds off her long course (50 meter pool) time and broke the 15 and over girls regional record in the event held by Stephanie Nicholls from Prince Rupert from 2001. Her improvement brought her from being seeded 25th to finishing 19th overall in the event. Cathers also finished 24th in the 400 free, 34th in the 200 free and in her free non qualified swim the 100 free where she was seeded 47th, she had a solid personal best time to finish 34th overall.

TERRACE - A common phrase a skier or snowboarder might hear up at Shames Mountain goes something like this: “Shames gets a ton more snow than Hudson Bay Mountain [in Smithers].” And when skiing or snowboarding at Hudson Bay Mountain, it would come as no surprise to hear someone say something like “Shames, lot’s of snow, but it’s wet, gross snow.” According to Shames Mountain Co-Op chair Meredith Skimson, it’s fun to have rival ski areas but the respective management teams don’t regard each other as competitors. “I think there is a perception that we have been competitors. But I think when we get together with management and talk about it, we don’t really feel like competitors,” she said. Proof of this, she said, is an add-on pass this year that will give skiers access to both mountains for an extra fee. “We really believe in the northwest skiing, and we think that people from Smithers will come ski here more if they have a pass and likewise,” said Skimson. “It’s great when the ski communities get together. We have super fun friends in Smithers, and we have super fun friends here. Let’s all just ski together.” In the last two years, the two hills have connected when ski magazines come north for features, Skimson said, and that helps spread the word about the region.

Rupert teams tough it out at Riverboat Days in Terrace By Kevin Campbell THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - “You can’t win ‘em all,” A seriously depleted Prince Rupert Football Club United (PRFC) team made the trek to Terrace in early August for the city’s annual Riverboat Days festival and Vernon Baker summarized the squad’s weekend with a short, but apt, conclusion. Approximately five regular PRFC members took to the pitch against Smithers, Kitsegas and the Terrace Young Guns and picked up the remaining stragglers from the side of the pitch to fill out the remaining holes in their roster. Barker was joined by forward Matt Anderson, goalkeeper Simon Ruperto and a few more Rupertites who, despite their lack of numbers

due to regulars having to work, attend funerals or be at other engagements, performed quite admirably against some of the tournament’s top opponents. “We were missing some starters and we were basically trying to hold off until Sunday [Day 3] when everybody was finished their work,” said Barker. PRFC never made it to the third day after being eliminated in an unlucky draw that saw the team play two straight games on Aug. 1 – the only team having to do so. “We weren’t equipped to knock out three straight teams, so we were out early,” said the defenceman. Winning their first game on July 31 against Smithers 3-1, the team then prepared to face the Kitsegas Providers, a second team from Hazelton behind the strong Hazelton Strikers side.

“We had that game in hand. We were winning. We basically had two goals in hand ... It was 4-4 when we went to a shooutout [and later lost 5-4],” Barker said. “We went from one field right to the other and played that [third] game against the Terrace Young Guns,” said Barker. “They beat us 3-0. Matt Anderson got injured, Peter Riley got injured, so right there we were down and we had no subs to begin with. It was just bad luck for us,” he added of events. Barker and the crew were eliminated after the loss to Terrace and never made it to Sunday, but saw the Smithers squad go far. “That Smithers team we beat was the strongest team in the tournament. They ended up coming in third because they ran out of steam by the semifinal,” he said.

A team from Saskatchewan won the overall tourney and the Terrace Selects came in second. “[Our goalkeeper] Simon was awesome. He was spectacular. We had a really strong offensive team and Simon kept us in the game that we shouldn’t have even been in ... We were happy, but you can’t win ‘em all,” said the defenceman. The next action for PRFC will take place during Labour Day weekend in Gitanyow and then they’ll head to the Battle of the Skeena shortly after. For the Kaien Island Slo-pitch League (KISL), three teams travelled to Terrace from Rupert to take part in the Second Annual MacCarthy Motors Slo-Pitch Tournament, hosted by Terrace Slo-Pitch. The Kekambas finished the highest out of all North Coast squads. They had two wins and a tie

in round robin action, placed first in their division, but lost their first game in the championship round to the Grinders from Haida Gwaii in extra innings. The Kekambas then beat the Tommy Guns from Kitimat and CK from Terrace, but lost to Smithers’ Prestige. Grassy Bay had to forfeit a few games and finished near the bottom of the pack and the Rupert Zookeepers finished fourth in consolation. The Terrace Grim Reapers won through the mercy rule in beating Prestige in a lopsided victory. Hot August Nites was rained out at the Northwest Regional Airport, but the Terrace Drags Association was able to fit in a few street legal races on the Friday night preceding Sunday and Monday’s points races of the long weekend.
