Kitimat-Stikine regional district directors representing rural areas were among northwestern elected officials signing a memorandum to pursue a share of provincial revenues from resource taxation. From the left, Dave Brocklebank, Tina Etzerza, Jessica McCallum-Miller, Linda Pierre and Ted Ramsey.
Gov’ts push for piece of resource tax pie
TERRACE – Elected officials from 21 local governments stretching from Vanderhoof to the coast are preparing their next move to persuade the provincial government for a share of its resource-based taxation. Meeting here Saturday, the officials from municipal and regional district governments agreed to continue to push the province for a share of taxation next month when all local governments meet for an annual convention. And they did so in formalizing the Northwest Resource Benefits Alliance, first announced a year ago and then enlarged in the spring, through a memorandum of understanding. The goal of the alliance is to push the provincial government to share what is projected to be
LARGEST FISHING TACKLE SELECTION IN KITIMAT
$35 billion in new revenues from projects in the northwest over the next 25 years should all of the planned major industrial projects actually be developed. Based on that estimate, a three per cent revenue share would equate to $1 billion. Given that Urban Systems Ltd. forecasts a $500 million infrastructure deficit among the municipalities involved in the alliance, newly-elected chair Stacey Tyers said there would be no shortage of uses for the money. “The summit resulted in the development of three priorities: addressing infrastructure needs, mitigating social impacts and developing a legacy fund so that we can look forward to a sustainable future,” Tyers said, noting the intent isn’t to be confused with grants already offered by the
province. “We want to be at the table to negotiate our share,” added Tyers who is the chair of the Kitimat-Stikine regional district and a City of Terrace councillor. In addition to creating an action plan for the coming year, the officials elected an executive that includes chair Tyers and vie chairs Bill Miller of the Regional District of Bulkley - Nechako and Barry Pages of the Skeena Queen Charlotte Regional District. “This is an historic and commendable process that the 21 local governments have been engaged in - we are excited and looking forward to coming up with a revenue sharing agreement with the provincial government that meets the needs of the Northwest,” said Pages.

“We are looking forward to the province sitting down with the [alliance] and coming up with an agreement that is a win-win for everybody.” While the municipal and regional leaders may want an agreement, an idea they claim has support of industry, the province has yet to agree to negotiaitons. This spring the province turned down a $1.131 million request from the alliance to assist in its work. The province said it would be premature to provide revenues from an industrial base which does not yet exist. The province does, however, have a revenue sharing agreement with northeastern local governments based on revenues from oil and gas drilling and development in that region.

Union bans District from Labour Day picnic in Kitimat
HOT SAVINGS FROM GE!
Germuth didn’t attend last September’s picnic but did attend the year before that. He would have been a city councillor at the time. He says that the council and the District are still committed to fostering a relationship between themselves and the union. “That’s our commitment, to over time build that relationship.” That includes holding meetings with the union twice a year to hear concerns. He said the first meeting under the new Collective Agreement has not been scheduled yet. The Northern Connector could not reach Unifor 2301 Business Agent Martin McIlwrath by our press deadline for comment on the union’s decision, but as reported through CBC the union did not intend to have the letter be made public. Germuth says the letter didn’t meet the criteria which would determine if a letter is made confidential. “Any letter to mayor and council is a public document. Unless it is actually covered by the provisions of a closed meeting...it’s out duty to make it public.” Phil Germuth and Councillor Claire Rattée were the two municipal election candidates who were formally endorsed by Unifor Local 2301.
By Cameron Orr
THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
KITIMAT - Unifor 2301 has decided they want to distance themselves from Kitimat mayor and council. It was revealed in the release of a letter, posted to councillor Mary Murphy’s political Facebook page, that the union’s executive passed a motion “to not allow Kitimat Mayor & Council to attend our 2015 Labour Day picnic event.” The union holds the picnic each year on the Labour Day weekend which includes kids activities and a barbecue. It’s typically a public event for anybody. The letter also states that “To insure that our event is successful and to be pro-active we will inform the RCMP of our decision.” Mayor Phil Germuth says he is disappointed to learn of the union’s move. “It’s unfortunate. Events like that are really supposed to be an opportunity for all of us to get together and build relationships. We were looking to move that relationship forward to the benefit of the District and all the staff and all our workers. That is what it is and we will respect their wishes,” he said.

Work camp explained THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
PRINCE RUPERT - Proponents of what could become the first workforce accommodation development on the North Coast came before Port Edward council on Aug. 11 to outline plans for the North Coast Open Camp. “It’s a smaller, more boutique type of offering with approximately 200 beds in a small footprint ... we’re looking to create a small, aesthetically pleasing development to spearhead some of the work that will be happening, hopefully, in the coming months,” explained LandSea Camp Services president Mike Coyne. “It is essentially a pioneer camp that would stay during the development process of whatever larger camp was here. We would be here for the early work and would support the early work undertakings related to the development of LNG or other projects in the area. We work closely with some of the other camp companies and [this camp] will facilitate the work they do.” Coyne said LandSea aims to give back to the communities by creating employment and offering an opportunity for people in the area a chance of a career in the hospitality sector. “The second purpose of the facility is to act as a training facility whereby we would put on a training program
for food services and accommodation services for local residents and First Nations that would serve as a stepping stone to the other camp projects in the area ... there would be some key staff we employ, such as a manager and executive chef, but we would then look to compliment those individuals with as much local employment as needed,” said Coyne, noting the current proposal would create between 20 and 30 jobs. “We have a three-week program that has been endorsed down in the Lower Mainland and we have received government funding for the program. It essentially gives anyone who wants to pursue a career in the industry all of their certification with WorkSafe procedures and the knowledge they need to proceed in that career path. We would establish a classroom, a facilitator and do hands-on training on-site.” The camp would occupy two acres of the Port Edward Logistics Park, with access via Wolf Creek Road and workers primarily being shuttled to and from work by buses. The camp would be a dry one, meaning no alcohol would be permitted. Amenities in the camp include a 9000 square foot kitchen-dinner-rec (KDR) that houses an open dining room, fitness centre, media room, meeting rooms and a dedicated area for the Stepping Stones Training and Development Program.

A rendering of the proposed multi-family development in Port Edward. This is a sample image and is subject to change.
Port Edward subdivision rezoning complete By Shaun Thomas THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
PORT EDWARD- The day after an open house in the community, the District of Port Edward formally zoned a large parcel of land for a planned subdivision. The multi-family development would include 130 units and 259 parking spaces for residents and their visitors. Chief administrative officer Bob Payette said that giving the rezoning to allow for a multi-family residential area third and fourth reading could prove to be quite beneficial for Port Edward in light of a projected boom related to the development of the liquefied natural gas export industry. “There are many benefits of that to
“There are all kinds of good opportunities that could come from this.” Bob Payette the district in terms of revenue generation through tax assessment, having proper accommodation for multiple families and having a critical mass for services — if we got potentially got closer to 700 or 800 residents, that could sustain a grocery store,” he said, noting the company had “good an-
swers” to resident questions related to privacy, drainage and access at the previous night’s open house. “There are all kinds of good opportunities that could come from this rezoning.” With fourth reading passed and the property zoned, the next step in the project is entering the development application process, which would provide more specifics on the housing proposed. “Hopefully we can move into the building permits early in the fall, which would be excellent,” said Payette of the timing. After welcoming proponent Alture Properties to Port Edward, Mayor Dave MacDonald called the passing of the zoning “another good day for Port Edward”.

Support for El Salvador By Cameron Orr
THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
KITIMAT - Kitimat’s Eva Speitelsbach will be disappearing from town for several weeks in September. Starting September 10 she’ll be spending six weeks in El Salvador supporting charity operations there. She is going to the country through Operation Mobilization, which is a Christian-based charity group that supports many areas of the world. “They have lots of work going on in El Salvador,” said Eva. It was her friends who suggested she look in to OM which set her off on a research effort to learn about them. “I have some friends who recommended OM,” she said. The organization seemed to match her interests closely. “I’ve wanted to go to a South American country for a few years so I’m finally doing it,” she added. Among the supplies she’ll be assisting OM with are first aid kits and clothes. While she’s in El Salvador she’ll also be helping with various children’s programs. She said she still has room to collect clothes to take with her and people can give her a call at her work at Kitimat Valley Institute if they want to learn how to help. Her number there is 250-639-9199. She is also looking for sponsors for the first aid kits, and wants to take basketballs as well for youth sports. “I’m so thankful for the support of SOCIETY church and KITIMAT COMMUNITY HUMANE my employer becauseSHELTER they stand behind me 100 per cent,” she added. She attends the Kitimat Pentecostal Church.

Long list of conditions for Trans Mountain approval By Tom Fletcher THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
OTTAWA - The National Energy Board has released a draft list of 145 conditions for approval of Kinder Morgan Canada’s oil pipeline expansion project, including environmental protection plans for land and marine operations. Conditions include the possibility of dredging for the expansion of the Westridge Marine Terminal in Burnaby, where the original Trans Mountain pipeline has delivered
crude oil and refined products since 1953. Kinder Morgan is proposing to twin the line to ramp up shipments of diluted bitumen from northern Alberta that began intermittently in the late 1980s. The $5.4 billion expansion project would nearly triple the line’s capacity to 890,000 barrels per day, resulting in a sevenfold increase in oil tankers entering and leaving Vancouver harbour. Kinder Morgan Canada president Ian Anderson said Thursday the company will be seeking clari-
fication on the timing of some of the conditions, and will file its comments to the NEB review panel Aug. 20. Most major conditions, including plans for watercourse crossings along the route, are to be filed at least 90 days before construction begins. “Our initial review of the draft conditions is that they are rigorous but achievable,” Anderson said. NEB hearings are to resume Aug. 24, where the B.C. government is expected to formalize its position, based on Premier Chris-
ty Clark’s five conditions for new heavy oil pipelines. They include a “world-class” spill response capability on land and sea, approval and benefit sharing by affected First Nations, and a still-undefined “fair share” of benefits for the province. Those conditions were included in B.C.’s position opposing the Enbridge Northern Gateway project, which the federal government approved with its own list of more than 200 conditions. The province does not have authority to veto either pipeline project, as each would
run from Alberta to B.C. Draft conditions for Trans Mountain include identification of all sites on the proposed second line affected by earthquake, including the “Holocene for Sumas Fault, Vedder Mountain Fault, Fraser River-Straight Creek Fault and Rocky Mountain Trench, as well as other possible hidden faults.” Conditions also include submitting records of landowner consultation on the route, and a plan for aboriginal participation in monitoring construction.

LNG assessments now underway By Josh Massey
THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
TERRACE - Technical experts working for the newly formed Tsimshian Environmental Authority have begun comparing notes on the potential effects of liquefied natural gas developments on the coast. Kitselas chief councillor Joe Bevan joined other chiefs from Metlakatla, Gitxaala, Kitsumkalum and Gitga’at in forming what is called the Tsimshian Environmental Stewardship Authority in early July, and the monthly meetings bring together technical
teams from these different governments. Bevan says the main driver behind the formation of the new authority is to provide collective oversight for the planned Pacific Northwest LNG project near the mouth of the Skeena river at Prince Rupert. “The main project is PNW, because they are right there on Lelu island and some of the other nations have voiced concern about flora bank, what’s that going to look like once you start developing,” he said of the estuarial waters key to young salmon survival near the development.
“They said they weren’t going to do the dredging but when you start building on the two sides of that, what is that going to do to the river, to flora banks, so that is the major concern, and we are confident that PNG is working on it,” he said. “We, the Tsimshian, have created a stewardship authority concerning Pacific Northwest LNG and Prince Rupert Gas Transmission, with the goal of coming together as a collective, to voice our concerns. We feel that together we are a stronger voice. Together, our collective concerns will be met,” Bevan continued.
The Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure intends to retain jurisdiction over the Kitsault River Road from the wharf to District Lot 52, approximately two kilometres. A plan showing the proposed road closure may be viewed at the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure Skeena District office at 4825 Keith Avenue, Terrace, B.C., V8G 1K7 during the office hours of 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m (closed between 12:00 and 1:00 p.m). Any person(s) wanting to provide comments of support or objection to this application for road closure should indicate their concerns in writing to the aforementioned address or via e-mail to Rena.Gibson@gov.bc.ca no later than September 11, 2015. For more information about this closure, please contact Senior District Development Technician Rena Gibson Protzner, Skeena District Phone: 250 615-3965 E-mail: Rena.Gibson@gov.bc.ca

Good hearing but trouble with conversation? A lot of people have trouble catching what people say, especially in group situations, despite having good hearing. What a lot of people don’t know is that this may be caused by damage to the so-called motor or amplifier function of special cells in the ear. A new type of hearing aid can help balance this out. A great many people have difficulty hearing others clearly on a daily basis. Bad acoustics, unclear pronunciation, background noise and music often make it challenging to catch what people say. This results in them having to repeatedly ask questions, straining to hear and perhaps increasingly avoiding discussions in large groups. As mentioned earlier, this may be caused by malfunctions in special cells in the ear. According to a theory proposed by hearing researchers, “motor cells” are a type of hair cell responsible for amplifying quiet sounds. They vibrate up to 20,000 times per second. If these hair cells do not work properly then quiet sounds are no longer naturally

PRINCE RUPERT - What started out as an outdoor adventure turned into an almost 12-hour search and rescue operation for three people on Mount Hays. The Prince Rupert Ground Search and Rescue were called out at 6 p.m. on Aug. 9 when the missing hikers contacted RCMP after recognizing they were stuck. The Initial Response Team set out with two vehicles to the summit of Mount Hays where the trained man trackers picked up signs of two male and one female. The tracking took the team through some very hazardous terrain and it wasn’t until midnight that the team located the hikers. However, the hikers were in a precarious position — 200 metres above Wantage Road between a very large vertical cliff and a very steep section looking up the mountain. The rescue was a dangerous one due to loose soil, but the first response team was able to provide blankets, hot tea and protein snacks while another team scouted an exit route to begin the descent.

Volunteers set out to rescue two hikers on Mount Hays. By the time the volunteers reached their vehicles and were able to drive the hikers to safety it was 5 a.m. The 21 volunteers who make up the team and cover Prince Rupert, Highway 16 on the North Coast and surrounding First Nations villages, are currently seek-
ing community support to fund further training and equipment for the members, who are on call 24/7. For more information on the group, visit a Sept. 13 open house at the Port Interpretive Centre beginning at 7:30 p.m. or visit the organization’s Facebook Page.
Date set for Robinson death inquest By Shaun Thomas THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
PRINCE RUPERT - A date has been set for the inquest into the deaths of Prince Rupert residents Angie and Robert Robinson. Presiding coroner Michael Egilson and a jury will begin hearing testimony from witnesses under oath at 9:30 a.m. on Sept. 28 at the Prince Rupert Court-
house. The inquiry will seek to determine the facts that led to Angie taking the life of Robert, her son with autism, before taking her own life on April 3, 2014. Based on the witness testimony, the jury will have the opportunity to make recommendations to prevent deaths under similar circumstances. The deaths raised many concerns about the level of services
available to families with autistic children. “A complete assessment of current services and services required are at the forefront of the family’s investigation - so that the hopelessness felt by a mother who wanted nothing but help with her son so that he could live with her forever will not be felt by another family,” wrote the family following the deaths.

The latest achievement for the company is the provincial and federal approval of its Environmental Assessment Certificate. These approvals are the culmination of years of studies and engagement with the communities on the northcoast. The BC Environmental Assessment Office (EAO) and the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency (CEAA) identified a number of conditions that must be met by LNG Canada to manage potential effects associated with its proposed liquefied natural gas terminal in Kitimat. The EAO identified 24 conditions, while CEAA identified 11, (with approximately 50 subsections), and LNG Canada has already been working to develop their project in the best way possible, which in many cases, means meeting or exceeding the conditions before they were even identified. “A number of conditions were ones we anticipated based on the Working Group’s feedback, on our own discussions with First Nations, the regulator, [and] the community. When we reviewed them, it was confirmation of what we expected for the most part,” said LNG Canada’s Director of External Affairs Susannah
Pierce. “And we feel pretty good about our ability to meet them.” Responsibly building an LNG plant has been a priority since the project’s inception. “One of the things we did from the very beginning was to design the plant with the community’s and First Nations’ concerns about the environment in mind,” said Pierce. “What we see coming out of the certificate is the regulator’s concurrence that there wouldn’t be any significant human health impacts as a result of our facility, and that our individual contributions are very low.” Marine mammal monitoring has also been a part of the project planning, which is included in the conditions. Pierce says company efforts have been “some of the first of its kind up and down the Douglas Channel,” in studying marine mammal habits. Closer to shore, the company will be working to mitigate any potential impacts to the area’s fishery. “You can’t completely eliminate all fishery impact, but what we have been

And where we can’t, build robust habitat compensation plans, which would also require review under the Department of Fisheries and Oceans,” according to Pierce. To learn more about the EA Certificate and the conditions, you can go online to lngcanada.ca. The company does not have a date by which it expects to make a Final Investment Decision, but with an environmental certificate in hand, they’ve certainly taken a big step towards that goal.

This is our smelter
Our people are the heart of our modernization A new era in aluminium production is beginning in Kitimat. Smelter modernization will reposition BC Operations as one of the most sustainable and competitive primary metal aluminium producers in the world. The technology will revolutionize the way we work, dramatically reducing total emissions by nearly 50 per cent. Good news for all of us - our employees, their families and our community. But it’s not just about technical edge - our employees are the real competitive advantage.
This is Marlene’s story One employee contributing to the success of our operations here in British Columbia is Marlene Storey. From an earlier point in her life, she knew that she wanted a career as an electrician and her choice of working for Rio Tinto’s BC Operations’ here in Kitimat led to that dream being fulfilled. Marlene first joined Rio Tinto in the Casting department in 2000 and after a series of positions around the plant, Marlene successfully applied for an electrical apprenticeship in 2008. “Applying for an apprenticeship was the best decision I made,” she readily admits. “I am lucky to be doing a job that I love to do.” With the commissioning and start-up of the modernized smelter, Marlene’s world is now full of new challenges. Working on state-of-the-art technology with highly talented people from around the world is helping Marlene refine and expand her high-tech skills - skills she will hold for the rest of her career. Although many innovations will debut with Kitimat’s smelter start-up, it’s employee know-how and how we work together through decades of aluminium production experience that have positioned BC Operations for success.

Group wants warning labels put on fuel pumps By Shaun Thomas THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
PRINCE RUPERT - What’s the link between graphic cigarette warning labels and gas stations? The Canadian not-for-profit group, Our Horizon, is exploring just that with their new initiative of placing climate change and air pollution info labels on gas pumps. Matt Hulse, B.C. campaign director for Our Horizon, presented the organization’s pitch to the Skeena-Queen Charlotte Regional District (SQCRD) at its regular meeting last Friday night and asked the region for two things – an endorsement for a resolution presented at the upcoming Union of British Columbia Municipalities (UBCM) conference from Sept. 21 – 25 in Vancouver, and to encourage the district to use the warning labels in their own jurisdictions. “Our Horizon ... is seeking municipalities across the country to put warning labels on gas pumps as a condition of the business licence that a gas station requires to operate in a certain municipality. The labels use images and text to depict locally relevant climate impacts,” said Hulse. The campaign director distributed four different examples to board members, with each label showing a picture of wildlife or habitats, and, for example, with a dual-before and after picture depicting underwater sea life and that same area after it has been polluted, accompanying text reading: “Use of this fuel product contributes to ocean acidification which puts much marine life at risk of extinction”. The idea stemmed from the cigarette warning labels that are found on packs across the country. In order to implement the labels on gas pumps, each pump would require a plastic nozzle topper for the label to be placed upon, a clear coat overtop of the nozzle and the label itself – all adding up to approximately $13. The retailer could incur the costs as a condition of its business licence, the municipalities could pay for the labels or various environmental groups who support the idea could incur the cost, Hulse said. “Two degrees Celsius is the number of degrees that our politicians have agreed that we can allow our global average temperature to rise. 565 gigatons is the amount of carbon it would take to raise the temperature an additional two degrees Celsius,” explained Hulse. “2,795 gigatons is the amount of carbon that we have in the ground stored in our proven reserves – oil, gas and coal – as you can see, we need to keep most of it in the ground to avoid blowing through that two degree cap. We have 16 years based on current rates of fossil fuel consumption to burn through 565 gigatons of CO2. That’s basically our window that we have to transition from an oilbased economy to something cleaner and greener.” The campaign director also explained that with a lack of immediate negative feedback to burning fossil fuels, people don’t necessarily see the consequences of their actions right away or in the same area that they’re burning the fuel. But when faced with immediate feedback, such as the labels, people can associate their actions with the proper consequences and make appropriate behavioural changes. As well, while individual contributions to the world’s carbon emissions may be small, having a label on a gas pump places more responsibility on the individual, through which it’s shown action is more likely to be taken, instead of residents as a collective. Members of the board told Hulse with the majority of pumps on Haida Gwaii and some in Prince

Rupert being full-service, drivers rarely see the nozzle of the pump that their car is using. Hulse informed them the labels can go on the pump dispenser box itself. Our Horizon creates personalized labels, depicting familiar locales for each jurisdiction and relevant messages for the area, for example a lack of snow on area ski-hills or flooding in a wellknown street. North Vancouver was the first Canadian jurisdiction to implement the bylaws requiring the labels and will have them in place on gas pumps by the fall. “We’re looking for a second municipality to do this,” said Hulse.

John Alan Edgeworth June 27, 1949 - August 7, 2015
It is with deep sadness we announce the passing of our brother John Edgeworth (Edgy). John passed away at the Extended Care Unit of the Saanich Peninsula Hospital after his long struggles with complications from diabetes. He was born second son to Thomas George Edgeworth and Beatrice Eva (Winter) Edgeworth in Shawinigan Falls, Quebec June 27, 1949. The family moved to Montreal in 1957 where John grew up until he left to attend the University of New Brunswick in 1968. In 1969 John came to Kitimat for a summer job. John and his brother Dave had several stints in Kitimat during the early seventies, with John being the first to settle in Kitimat in 1976. He became a millwright at the Alcan smelter and made many close friends both in and outside the plant. John loved skiing, sailing and the warmth of the sun. He greatly cherished the many trips to Hudson Bay Mountain both on the Alcan ski bus and on trips with friends. He also had very fond memories of the sailing trips up and down the Pacific coast with his good friend Paul and his family. John left Kitimat and moved to Sydney BC on Vancouver Island in 1997, as the health care he needed was not available in the north. He loved living on the peninsula and spent many hours enjoying the spectacular scenery and island waters. John was predeceased by his parents and is survived by his brothers David (Marilys), Kitchener, ON, and James (Doe), Kitimat, BC; and his sister Janet (Ray), Dartmouth, NS. John will be missed by his family, all his nephews and nieces and by his many friends and coworkers. The family wishes to thank the many health care workers who have helped John over the years. Donations in John’s name will be appreciated for the Canadian Diabetes Association or the Kidney Foundation of Canada.

PRINCE RUPERT - It was a different opponent for Davit Dzavashvili. Instead of looking a burly opponent in the eyes on the other side of a boxing ring, it was a looming mountain staring down the 28-year-old boxer on Sunday. But Dzavashvili didn’t flinch in one of his first experiences conquering a long-distance race, let alone up a mountain, and ended up claiming the 2015 Mt. Hays Quickclimb challenge as the day’s fastest overall climber with a time of 39 minutes and 24 seconds. “It is quite different than what I’m used to do – fighting professionally back home [in southeastern Europe’s Georgia]. Fighting in a ring and climbing are quite different. With boxing, you see your opponent and how strong he is. You can strategize to see where his weakness is and you can work through that, but when you’re racing, you’re racing against your [best] time and you don’t really know what’s going or who’s ahead. You have to keep going until you cross the finish line,” the winner said after the race. The high-intensity fitness trainer who co-operates Prince Rupert’s Red Shadow Boxing trained on the mountain, highways and Butze Rapids trails to prepare for Sunday’s race, but an unexpected hiccup met Dzavashvili toward the end of the climb. “Last Sunday, my teammates and I were climbing up and I did it in 33 minutes, but that was the first yellow pole and I didn’t exactly know where the finish line was. We thought it was the first pole and as far as I know from 2010 and the last Quicklclimb, the winning time was [Judd Rowse’s] 35 minutes and I had 33,” Dzavshvili explained.
“So today, when I started here and I reached the first yellow pole, there were no people and I thought ‘what’s going on?’. Then I reached the next pole, and no people. Then I reached the third yellow pole and no people. And I just kept going and going and from the fourth pole to the finish, it was another 700 – 800 more metres and I realized [I saw] people screaming ‘Davit, push it!’. But it was rough, I wasn’t expecting it. Halfway up my legs felt pretty toast.” Rowse finished a mere three seconds behind Dzavashvili at 0:39.24 to take runner-up for the 6.5 kilometre climb on Sunday. Organizers Kristina De Araujo of Quickload Logistics and Sean Carlson of McElhanney led a troupe of tireless organizers to put on the North Coast’s first Mt. Hays race since 2010 and its fourth overall. “Sean ... phoned me up in November and said ‘do you want to bring this back to life?’,” said De Araujo. “I think it’s been fantastic. It’s definitely gone very smooth, which I think is great. We had a larger committee too, which is nice and they didn’t all necessarily represent their companies, but they should all get some recognition ... I had texts last week or so of people saying ‘hey, what was the fastest overall time for [this category], and they want to know, because they’re prepping and that’s just great.” “I thought it was a unique event, different from a general race because it had a focus or purpose [in 2010] and it was meant to create a legacy in the community and that’s what I wanted to be able to support,” said Carlson, who mapped out the route himself driving up the mountain, taking coordinates and inputting them into a GPS unit. “I got all that data back to the of-
fice and did it up. One thing McElhanney does is air photos. [We combined that with] quality ground data showing elevations and I was able to put it all together and get a good picture [of the route],” Carlson said. And right from arriving at base camp, Dzavashvili knew he had a competitive fire in him and wanted to claim the mountain-top for himself. “If I’m doing any sport or participating in something, all I’m seeing is [the goal of] winning,” said the new father of seven weeks. “In Georgia, we definitely see things differently than people in Canada here. Here they want to [compete] to be healthy and they want to prove it to themselves that they can do it and back home, we want to win. That is our drive and the reason why I’m here. When I saw the trophy, I said ‘This trophy; I want to have it close to me. That trophy is my goal and why I’m here.’ I want to thank [everyone at] Red Shadow Boxing, my wife Kirsten, the volunteers and organizers and our little girl, Viviana. So, I’m really grateful for that support,” Dzavashvili said. Tanveen Sahdra, 16, won the under-19 female race with a time of 0:53.07 and Piers Denton, 3, won the under-19 male category, finishing the race in 1:38.51. The over-50 male category saw David Shearer, 66, take the win in 1:01.01 and Pam McSorley, 56, won the over50 female contest, crossing the finish line in 1:18.40. Dzavashvili won the 19-49 male division, with Rowse, 48, nipping on his heels three seconds behind at 0:39.24 and Mary Denton, 33, won the 19-49 female category in 0:46.27. A de-brief meeting was held and organizers are deciding whether or not to green-light a 2016 iteration.
KITIMAT - The Capitals are excited and proud to announce Skylar Pacheco has committed to play for the University of Brock Badgers to begin his CIS university career this fall. “It’s an honour to be heading to not only a great hockey program but a great school as well,” said Pacheco. “I feel it’s the right decision athletically and academically. I’d like to thank the entire Capitals organization and my family for all the support.” A veteran of more than 200 BCHL games, the Kitimat, B.C. native finished his junior career with a personal best season putting up 12 goals and 32 assists for 44 points leading all Capitals defenceman in scoring and finishing second in overall team points. Through his four-year BCHL career, the blue liner compiled 23 goals and 92 assists for 115 points in 221 games with both Prince George and Cowichan. “Skylar is a tremendous offensive defenceman that can skate the puck and make plays,” said Capitals Head Coach and General Manager Bob Beatty. “He is capable of putting up good numbers stepping into a strong CIS conference. Skylar was a popular player here in Cowichan with fans, players, and coaching staff. We all wish him and the Badgers plenty of success going forward.” The Badgers compete in the Ontario University Athletics Conference’s western division and Pacheco will play under longtime Brock Head Coach Murray Nystrom. Pacheco will certainly bring the same passion and leadership he exhibited in Cowichan to the CIS. Finishing the season as an Alternate Captain with the Capitals, Pacheco was also a key role model for several younger defencemen getting their start in the league. The Capitals wish Skylar a big congratulations and all the best as he begins his university hockey career! Pacheco lines up for a shot, from Free Press file photo at right, from Pacheco’s days on the Spruce Kings.
