TERRACE - Kitwanga is one of the places on the list when Peter Crompton from Branch 13 of the Royal Canadian Legion here begins organizing the poppy distribution campaign in smaller northwestern communities early each fall. There he finds Alex Morgan who looks after the poppy campaign in that village and the surrounding area east of Terrace. Morgan has a story of ties with the Second World War – a story that illustrates the power of love and war and the value of remembrance. Alex’s parents, Lavender and Raymond, met in Europe and it was one of those love-at-first-sight encounters between nurse and wounded soldier. Raymond, who was of Gitxsan decent (his birth certificate records his place of birth as “Skeena River”) was one of many volunteer soldiers who left the B.C. northwest to fight for the Allies largely because of their values, says Alex. Like Raymond, a good number of volunteers from the northwest were First Nations and a number were killed overseas and never returned. Alex says his father didn’t speak a whole lot about his service, which is fairly common among war vets, but his body showed the marks of wartime conflict: He was mostly deaf in one ear, and had one arm shorter than the other after having reconstructive surgery to shattered bone. “He went into the North African conflict then up into the Mediterranean into Italy and Greece,” Alex recounts. “He was driving a Bren gun carrier that has tracks on the back and wheels on front, he was the driver and he was blown up in Italy and there were four of them, all who died except for him.” Raymond was then sent to a hospital in England where he met Lavender and their transcontinental romance began to bloom. When Lavender, a young Scottish woman with bright red hair and an adventurous streak, set off by boat with scores of other war brides from England in 1944, she soon discovered she was risking her life to be with Raymond who had travelled separately to Vancouver for treatment at Shaughnessy Hospital. From the ship’s deck Lavender saw other vessels getting sunk by German U-boats. Alarms would sound in the night and passengers had to rush to the emergency boats. Surviving the ocean voyage, Lavender made it to Halifax and then, after an administrative delay, took a one-week train ride across Canada by steam engine, followed by a two-day journey, also by train, north to Kitwanga. She had been in touch by mail with her new Gitxsan mother-inlaw, Martha Morgan, and knew that Kitwanga was a tiny town of 200. But according to Alex, who now recounts the story of his parents to school classes in the area around this time of year, Lavender wasn’t prepared for the grand welcome she received by the local brass band. “She told me, when she got off the train and saw the crowd of people playing instruments, she turned around to see if there was someone behind her coming off the train who would be honoured,”

Alex said. As it turned out, the grand welcome was in fact for her – the community honouring the arrival of Raymond’s wife from England. Born several years later, Alex and his sister Naomi moved with the family to Houston where Raymond worked in forestry, before returning to Kitwanga in the 1980s. Throughout that time the family became avid promoters of Remembrance Day, visiting schools to share their story that shows the influence of the war in shaping their own lives and the society we know today. “I can see they now put a face to Remembrance Day,” says Alex. “I will see students in the mall, and they will say, ‘ah, you came to our class and gave the poppies out.’” Alex says that in the classes – at various aboriginal schools in Gitsegukla, Gitanyow and Kitwanga as well as public schools – he passes on the same messages that his parents did before they died – Raymond in 2001 and Lavender ten years later. “We’d be out in the bush in 30 below, and he would say, ‘isn’t this just wonderful,’ and I used to look at him and tell him it’s crazy,” Alex recalls. “‘We are alive and we’re free,’ he’d always say.”

The owner of Sun Wave Forest Products says he will continue to seek clarity on the ownership of Watson Island.

Mill site back in legal turmoil By Shaun Thomas

THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT The debate surrounding ownership of Watson Island was thrust back into the spotlight last week with the owner of Sun Wave Forest Products calling the settlement agreement with the City of Prince Rupert “null and void”. A declaration signed by Sun Wave Forest Products owner Ni Ritao, published in The Northern View on Oct. 28, says the agreement entered into by Sophia Liu on behalf of the company on Aug. 20, 2013 was done without his legal authorization. “The arbitration order made on 25 August 2013 based on the above invalid settlement agreement is also null and void .... I raise serious objection to any conducts engaged based on the above void settlement agreement and related documents that harm our interests and hereby reserve my rights to further pursue liability and prosecution through multiple chan-

nels including legal or media,” wrote Ni, who said efforts to undertake face-to-face discussions were unsuccessful. “On 3 May 2015 I arrived in Canada with utmost sincerity in the hope of properly handling the issues in question through face-to-face communications and negotiation with all parties concerned, only to be denied entry into the country. Responsibility for obstacles and challenges in communication and in dealing with the related issues as a result thereof shall rest with Canada and not me.” However, the City of Prince Rupert says the proper protocols were followed in reaching the deal and that evidence was provided to indicate Liu had the authority to reach the agreements in question. “Sun Wave’s lawyers provided to the city a General Signing Authority, executed by Mr. Ni, that expressly granted to Ms. Liu full authorization to execute and deliver on behalf of Sun Wave all documents

in relation to the settlement agreement and to do such further acts and things that Ms. Liu considered necessary in connection with the settlement. As such, the 2013 Settlement Agreement between Sun Wave Forest Products Limited and the City of Prince Rupert is legally binding,” read a statement from the city, which notes work has been progressing on the site since then. “For the past two years, both parties have taken steps to implement the 2013 Settlement Agreement, including the filing of the dismissals of all litigation that had been commenced by Sun Wave against the City and the discharge of the certificates of pending litigation that had been filed on title to the Watson Island lands. The City has been working in good faith with Sun Wave’s representatives in Canada to comply with the terms and intent of the Agreement, and intends to continue to do so.” The city awarded the contract to decommis-

sion the mill to the NRI Group in August of this year.

Kitimat shelter opens

Brewing winner …

By Cameron Orr

THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

KITIMAT - The committee behind Kitimat’s Extreme Weather Shelter is happy to have the funding secured from BC Housing to re-open the facility this year. The shelter was formally opened November 1, and will run until March 31. As was done last year the shelter will be running seven days a week, opening at 8 p.m. and closing at 8 a.m. the following morning. In the shelter’s first year, when it operated in the Public Safety Building, it would only be opened when the town declared extreme weather, which was a combination of factors including temperature and rain fall. This year it will again run in the basement of the Kitimat Baptist Church. To get the program going the shelter’s committee, operating formally under the Kitimat Child Development Centre, received funding of $64,000. That money will help go towards hiring staff who will work the shelter each night. But the safety guidelines of the shelter means they want at least two people on-site each night, so the group is looking for interested people to assist in volunteering as well. Training is provided to those who sign up. Committee member Margaret Warcup says the need for a weather shelter is “a recognition our community has changed.” Demand remains, she said, even if

TERRACE – Mitch Warner, originally from Terrace, on the right, is a brewer at Dageraad Brewery in Burnaby where he and owner Ben Coli, left, took first place in a provincial competition in the Belgian abbey ale category with their Dageraad Blonde, second place in the French farmhouse category with Randonneur Saison and third in the sour/wild ales with Dewitte brew.

Kitimat doesn’t have the same housing pressures as it did last year during peak of the KMP construction. Rent prices do remain fairly high. “There’s still people who can’t support the rents we have,” she said. Taking lessons from last year, the operators will be looking for sock donations from the community — of course in addition to any time people can spare at the shelter too. Trying to provide dry socks for people who spend their days outdoors was a nearly impossible task and providing them made a big difference in users of the facility’s comfort. Warcup says ultimately they still push a ‘Housing First’ initiative, which is a goal that every person should have a place to live. A shelter may be a stopgap measure but they want all people to be able to find permanent accommodation. Last year, out of all the nights the shelter was opened, it was accessed for 58. In total 98 beds were used, by 11 different clients. Predicting needs is challenging. The group knows there are homeless people in the community but can’t predict how many will use the shelter this year. All users of the shelter were adults, while any children needing shelter were directed to the Tamitik Status of Women group. Inquiries on volunteering or donating can be made either to the CDC at 250-632-3144 or the shelter’s cell phone at 250-279-0847. Shelters elsewhere across B.C. have also opened for the cold season.

Pacific NorthWest LNG provides update on terminal plans By Kevin Campbell THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - Last week, Pacific NorthWest LNG provided an update to Prince Rupert city council about their proposed natural gas liquefaction and export facility on Lelu Island. With the first of two conditions completed, having gotten the Project Development Agreement legislation passed by the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia in July, head of corporate and stakeholder relations Tessa Gill provided council with the procedures required for gaining their second condition – approval from the Government of Canada’s environmental assessment process. “We’re still waiting on that, but everything else is in place and ready to go in terms of moving forward to the next stage of our project – construction,” said Gill last Monday night. As Pacific NorthWest (PNW) continues its investigative work, conducting marine geotechnical work with vessels and barges to take samples from the area, Gill assured council that no investigative work is taking place on Flora Bank. Late in the summer, occupational protests from area First Nations interrupted the company’s work, opposing test drilling on Flora Bank, commonly known to be a vital salmon-spawning habitat. “I want to make sure everybody is aware [that] we are not doing any work on Flora Bank whatsoever ... and there are some environmental monitors that sit with their vessels 24/7 to make sure that we are not disturbing anything, for example, eelgrass and we are doing [things] as per procedure and permits,”

PACIFIC NORTHWEST LNG / THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

A rendering of the suspension bridge design that would feed LNG to the vessels, which is tall enough for ships to travel underneath. said Gill. Fish studies, fish habitat studies and modelling work continues to inform the company on the best direction it should take regarding its marine infrastructure, all of which will have minimal impact on Flora Bank, continued Gill. “I think some people still have a misconception that there is a causeway in the marine facilities. It is a construction that will allow the water to move underneath and around the facility, and it’s not on Flora Bank. We have a marine facility designed to be adjacent to Flora Bank,” she said. Having removed a major dredge from their original design, PNW is continuing to conduct intensive studies on fish habitats. “We’ve been conducting, for several months now, a fish and fish habitat monitoring program and its probably some of the

most extensive and detailed work that’s been conducted in the area for quite some time. So we’re going to be using those results to further inform our design of the facility and the construction processes to make sure there’s minimum interaction with the marine habitat and environment ... The results of those fish studies and surveys will become public,” Gill said. Modelling work that the company is undertaking includes water velocity, tidal and subtidal currents and its impact on Flora Bank. “[The visual representations] give you an idea that any disturbance from [our] marine infrastructure is very small, in the ranges that you see naturally across Flora Bank and we’ve got similar visual examples that shows the sediment disturbance from the marine infrastructure is actually very minimal. It’s in a matter of millimetres,” said Gill.

Some questions that council had for the company included how talks were going with the Lax Kw’alaams First Nation, what a timeline may look like for the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency to respond with their conditional project approval, and how many jobs would be created once the facility is constructed. While Gill didn’t respond with details on specific discussions with Lax Kw’alaams, she mentioned that the company is engaged with all area First Nations and have different levels of conversation with each depending on what their levels of interest with the project are. The stakeholder relations head also told council that while there is just over 100 days remaining on the CEAA regulatory clock to accept PNW’s submission, the timing of the decision is ultimately up to the regulator as to when they’re satisfied with PNW’s information.

Provincial judges get retroactive pay boost THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

VICTORIA - One group of employees that escaped the B.C. government’s caps on pay increases is the 155 provincial court judges. The judges’ association has won a court challenge of a 1.5 per cent raise approved by the B.C. government for the fiscal year ended in March 2014. The Supreme Court of Canada refused to hear the government’s appeal of an earlier decision to make the raise 4.9 per cent, plus an increase of the judges’ pension accrual rate from three to 3.5 per cent. The cost of the retroactive raise is estimated at $2.67 million for that year alone. It remains to be seen if the judges will challenge the one per cent increase approved for 2014-15, which brought their salaries to $236,950. “This will have an impact on our fiscal plan,” B.C. Justice Minister Suzanne

Anton told reporters. “And as you know government has been in an environment of balancing the budget, and part of our philosophy on that is that provincial court judges’ salaries should generally fit into the same pattern that public service salaries fit into.” Starting in 2013, the province negotiated five-year contracts with health care, social services and other unions with raises between one and 1.5 per cent per year. Finance Minister Mike de Jong introduced the concept of “growth sharing” to achieve longer labour settlements, with additional raises paid in years when growth of the provincial economy exceeds independent forecasts. The judges’ association lost its initial challenge of the 2013-14 raise, when B.C. Supreme Court Justice John Savage noted provincial court judges’ salaries had risen 45 per cent in a decade, from $161,250 per year in 2004 to $234,600 in 2013.

Kitimat presence at LNG conference By Cameron Orr THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

VANCOUVER - The province’s annual LNG conference had nearly all of Kitimat’s council in attendance and Mayor Phil Germuth says Kitimat is still at the forefront of the industry’s minds. The International LNG in BC conference is hosted by the provincial government and was held in Vancouver from October 14 to 16. Germuth says he hears from industry that they’re still looking to make their industries cost effective, a process that is being done jointly with the province itself, but the outlook for an industry in Kitimat still seems good, he says. “Things are moving forward,” said Germuth. Asked what his personal feeling is, he says the ongoing work done by LNG Canada gives him cause for optimism from their project at least. “When you look at the amount of commitments they’ve done even just within Kitimat...They’re still moving forward all the time so that’s very positive to see.” He was referring to a number of housing agreements the Shell-

led project has committed to, including Haisla Town Centre, the Civeo lodge, and the site of the former Alexander townhouses. Germuth knows nothing is a done deal though. He listened closely to remarks by Shell’s executive vice president of integrated gas Maarten Wetselaar who provided a tempered optimism. “He was there too and he said ‘hey, things look okay,’ but of course they still don’t have guarantees.” Germuth knows the decisions are ultimately business ones but remains hopeful for a start up in Kitimat. “Hopefully the project here in Kitimat will be one of those [that make it] and we’re still positive that they will have that final investment decision next year,” he said. As for any word if the municipality itself needs to do anything more, he said that’s not something he’s heard. “Nobody has said that there’s something that we’re lacking here,” he said. “And we’re fully supporting the industry and doing everything we can to help them along.” The council is continuing to press proponents, particularly the ones behind the proposed Douglas Channel LNG floating facility, to ensure all operations employees live in the community, rather than house the employees temporarily on fly-in-, fly-out basis.

Regional airport’s stats holding as predicted TERRACE - Passenger traffic at the Northwest Regional Airport remains down from last year but latest numbers show the 2015 total so far this year is within projections. “We’re down 10 per cent for the calendar year,” says airport manager Carman Hendry in examining the passenger numbers to the end of September which stood at 172,854. But in looking at the 12 months from this September to September 2014 and comparing them to

the 12 months prior to September 2014, traffic is down just four per cent, he said. Hendry’s predicting a calendar year 2015 total of just under 230,000 which is within projections set out at the beginning of the year. The airport set a record of 253,368 in 2014, far above the 177,294 total for 2013 and the 139,193 total for 2012. All figures are for scheduled flights and don’t include charters.

Hendry noted that this year’s figures don’t have the influence of the Rio Tinto Alcan Kitimat smelter rebuilding project which was at its peak last year. “So if you look at this year, we continue to be a very busy airport,” said Hendry. “We have a large number of flights on airlines servicing Vancouver, we have flights to Calgary, to Prince George, to Vancouver.” “Our traffic reflects the frequency of these flights and the afford-

ability of air travel.” The increase in traffic over the past several years is driving an ambitious expansion project just underway which is being financed by a passenger user fee and grants from the federal and provincial governments. Firefighting and rescue service has just been introduced owing to the traffic increase. And two weekends ago, the Northwest Regional Airport was named Newsmaker of the Year at the 2015 Terrace and District

Chamber of Commerce’s annual Business Excellence Awards. “It takes all of our people to make this place run,” said Hendry of the award. Both Air Canada and WestJet began direct service to and from Calgary in late spring. Air Canada has stopped that run as of this month as part of a general scale back for the fall and winter season and Hendry is predicting it’ll return next spring as part of the airlines spring/summer schedule.

The role of social licence and Aboriginal title discussed By Kevin Campbell

THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - The role of social licence and the increasing opposition to resource development was the topic of a Chamber of Commerce luncheon featuring Macdonald-Laurier Institute (MLI) managing director Brian Lee Crowley. During the lunch, Crowley opined on the developing natural resource economy that Canada enjoys and dived into two topics that have extreme relevance on the North Coast: ‘social licence’ and the power and authority that aboriginal people hold over the decision-making process of natural resource projects. Crowley began by defining the Canadian climate of investment in its natural resource economy, namely its strength in certainty and reliability for businesses to invest in natural resource projects – almost all of which require an extraordinary amount of money up front at the outset of the project. “The natural resource economy requires you to invest vast sums of money up front and to recover your investment over a long payback period. What makes it possible for people to be confident they can recover their investment over the next 25 – 30 years? ... We have created a bunch of institutions in Canada that have helped create certainty for proponents and give them confidence they can ... get a reasonable return,” Crowley said, citing the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency (CEAA), National Energy Board (NEB) and the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission as examples of these institutions. Next, Crowley delved into ‘social licence’. “Social licence, I think, covers two completely different things. One of them is quite innocuous and indeed de-

sirable and the other is completely contrary to this idea of set institutions that gives the certainty that unlocks natural resources,” he said. One definition of social licence includes businesses and governments undertaking ‘rational management’ efforts to have a good reputation with the local population, business leaders and authorities. The second definition

of social licence fits what Crowley calls a ‘radical social licence movement’. “There are certain groups in society that are actually opposed in principle to natural resource development. They think it’s wrong for Canada to be developing its natural resource endowment and they have latched on to social licence and turned it into a kind of

right of veto for opponents of natural resource development,” said Crowley. “We created all these institutions ... with the purpose of creating a calm, reasoned institutional framework in which we can ... make decisions even in the face of opposition. This is part of having a democratic society. The radical social licence movement doesn’t accept

signed to allow us to make these kinds of decisions.” Crowley’s second point relates to the growth of agency that aboriginal people have gained over the past few years. He went on to say that the older generation, the ones who led the campaign for political constitution and other rights for First Nations, continue to see

the development of their communities lying in further political and traditional activism, such as demonstrations and court cases, to gain more power. Crowley sees the younger generation of First Nations, a vital part of the ‘Idle No More’ movement, wanting to turn their new powers and rights into genuine opportunities for themselves.

that idea. Their view is that as long as there remains any opposition, especially opposition by themselves to natural resource development, they are not only entitled to protest, they are entitled to stop natural resource development.

Cenotaph in Old Hazelton.

Nov. 11 in Hazelton By Margaret Speirs

THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

HAZELTON - Residents gather each Nov. 11 at the cenotaph in Bastion Park in Old Hazelton which was rebuilt in 2010 thanks to the assistance of Branch 13 of the Royal Canadian Legion in Terrace and several Terrace businesses. On Remembrance Day, local churches take care of the ceremony at the cenotaph. Members of youth groups, veterans and the RCMP collect themselves in a group before marching to the cenotaph. Following the 11 a.m. moment of silence, there are speakers and usually a choir to sing a song about peace. The recitation of In Flanders Fields follows and it’s done in three languages: English, French and Gitxsan. Afterward, there’s a tea at the St. Peters Anglican church hall. Veterans are also busy before Remembrance Day visiting local schools. “I’ll be going to my daughter’s school and Kispiox community school and also the John Field school,” said Arthur McRae, a veteran, of his activities planned this year.

Grace Cameron January 22, 1933 to October 18, 2015

We are saddened to announce the passing of our Mother, Grandmother and Great-Grandmother, Grace Cameron. Grace was born in Anyox, BC on January 22, 1933, to John and Mary Kirkland. She was loved and doted on by her parents and older brother Stanley. Grace passed away in Prince George on October 18, 2015, surrounded by her family. Grace is survived by her daughters Donna (Ben) Schwarz, Lynn (Don) MacNeil, Ann (Garrie) Smith and son Tom (Laura) Cameron. She is also survived by 9 grandchildren, 13 great grandchildren and her sister-in-law and brother-in-law Florence & Tom Steven, of Kelowna BC. Grace was predeceased by her parents, her brother Stanley, her husband Colin Cameron, and long time partner Don Wilson. Grace lived a full and happy life. She loved to travel, camp, dance, sew and spend time with her family. She lived in Kitimat from 1968 to 1989 when she became a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;snowbirdâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, dividing her time between Mesa, Arizona, and Kelowna. In 2012 she moved to Prince George to be closer to family. One of Graceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favourite times was celebrating her 80th birthday in Hawaii with 24 family members. A celebration of Graceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life and internment of her ashes will take place in the spring of 2016 at the Prince George Memorial Park Rose Garden.

Runner breaks own record By Jackie Lieuwen

THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

TERRACE - Joe Pelletier achieved a new personal best, beating his last record by two minutes in the Vancouver Rock N’ Roll half marathon Oct. 25. Finishing the race in 1:38:00 and ranking 227th of 5,000 runners, Pelletier says he is quite happy. “My pace that I had planned [4:40 per kilometre], I nailed right to the second. I finished right where I was hoping to, so everything went well,” he said. As for the other race details, Pelletier said it was a beautiful course to run, including a stretch through Stanley Park, and weather was warm with no wind. “Perfect day, perfect course, perfect race in many ways,” he said. Pelletier is running two half marathons this year to raise money for the Canuck Place Children’s Hospice. which is located in Vancouver. With a goal of $3,000, he has

raised $1,800 for the cause so far. “I’m hoping for a strong push here towards the end, but we’ll see,” he said. Now Pelletier is preparing for the Las Vegas Rock N’ Roll half marathon on November 15. “I’m very excited about that one,” he said. “You run down the Las Vegas strip at night so everything is lit up. And Kid Rock is playing and Kiss is playing.” Since he just ran the Vancouver half marathon, Pelletier says he will be happy to finish in Vegas with any time under 1:45:00. He adds that the elevation will be a challenge too, with Vegas more than 2,000 feet over sea level, Pelletier says he is making the trip into a vacation, taking a week and doing a Grand Canyon tour and seeing the Blue Man Group. Getting ready he has a few targeted runs, but he will mostly rest and do light running as he recovers and gears up for his next race, he said. Several other Terrace runners competed in the Vancouver half

JOE PELLETIER marathon as well. Nita Back finished in 2:00:05, ranking 1,583 of the 5,000 runners. Shauna Bennett finished in 2:15:41 at rank 2,879 and Meredith Wolfe in 2:35:52 at rank 4,121. Terrace’s Dianna Martin Janas ran the 10-kilometre Cunningham Seawall Oct. 24, finishing in 1:13:59 and ranking 2,061 of 3,004 runners. Janas also ran the early start half marathon, finishing in 2:50:28 and ranking 72 of 333 runners.

Brittany Waite and the Charles Hays Rainmakers senior girls’ volleyball team hosted the region in the school’s first home play day last Saturday.

Volleyball teams compete in Rupert By WIlliam Gye

THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - The Charles Hays (CHSS) senior girls’ volleyball team returned home this past weekend. The Rainmakers-hosted event saw the team play games against Smithers Secondary School, but the team ended up falling to the visitors, 16-25, 19-25, as well as falling to powerhouse Caledonia Secondary from Terrace, 16-25, 20-25. The squad beat Ebenezer Christian Reform School 25-20, 25-12 and then defeated Bulkley Valley Christian School 25-17, 25-10. “This is the first time we saw Caledonia. They are a very strong team, and have a very strong program up there. It was a good day (for the Rainmakers), and it was nice to have [the] Queen Charlotte team come over,” said CHSS

head coach Jacqueline Jackson after the games had completed for the day. One of the standouts from the Rainmakers’ team, wearing number 9, was Suttira Johansen. Playing the setting position and having a great year, building on the momentum of last spring, Johansen has played with Caledonia on their club team. The more game time the athletes got, the further their development has come. Playing against excellent competition no doubt strengthened their skills and helped ready them continue with volleyball after highschool if they choose. The senior girls’ zones championship will be played on Nov. 21, before the CHSS winter sports schedule kicks in, with the school’s popular basketball teams gearing up for the 2015-16 season, one in which it hopes to excel.

KITIMAT - The Kitimat Marlins swim club competed at the first regional swim meet of the season in Prince Rupert. Teams from Prince George, Terrace, Smithers and host Prince Rupert were in attendance at the coastal city. With strong swims from all Marlin swimmers the team was able to take third in overall points. Prince George took first with Prince Rupert taking second place. Zachary Dumas, 16, took the gold medal for overall points in the 15 and over boys division. In his 200 IM Dumas achieved another western national qualifying time. Dumas was also awarded Northwest B.C. male swimmer of the year for last season. Dumas won the award for his multiple top 16 placing at Western Canadian Nationals, his AAA provincial medal and multiple top eight finishes and many regional and pool records last season. Other medal winners for the Marlins were Kleanza Cathers, 15, silver in the 15 and Over girls, Ethan Velho, 14, silver in the 1314 boys, Charlotte Collier, 13, silver and Leah Desousa, 13, bronze in the 13-14 girls and Jayden Johnston, 11, bronze in the 11-12 boys. The Marlins also had six more

They were Izaak Velho in the 12-13 boys, Laurence Bouchier in the 14-15 girls, Hannah Pearson, Leah Desousa and Charlotte Collier in the 12-13 girls and Jayden Johnston in the 11 and under boys. The AA short course (25 meter pool) provincial championships will take place this February in Penticton. The largest improvement at the swim meet was Nolan Striker,

14.

He who took off three minutes and 20 seconds in the 1500 meter freestyle on his way to 100 per cent personal best times in all seven of his races. Other Marlins to achieve the tough task of improving their time in all of their races were Jayden Johnston, Lucas Johnston, Emilie Krabes, Charlotte Collier, Leah Desousa, Ethan Manseau, Hannah Pearson, Isaiah Silva, Iris Striker,Sarah Toth, and Izaak Velho. The Marlins will travel to Prince George in late November for their next swim meet which is also of a regional nature.

Port Ed gym to reopen By Shaun Thomas THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PORT EDWARD While Pacific NorthWest LNG is using the former Port Edward School for office space, council says it wants to find a way to re-open the gym to the public. Following a project update from the company’s Tessa Gill and Derek Baker, Coun. James Brown said he has heard loud and clear that community members want access to the gym as the facility at the new school doesn’t have the height needed for several sports. “For years we have used that school for clubs and teams and I have had some people asking about it again. I am wondering if there is some way we could possibly use the gym in the evenings,” he said. “The problem is adults can’t play in here and don’t have anywhere to go to play floor hockey or basketball... it has to be a community effort and it has to be something that is organized,” added Mayor Dave MacDonald, noting issues of security and cleanup would need to be addressed before the facility would be re-opened to the public. While the company said re-opening the gym has been on the radar, it will now work to expe-

dite the process. “This is something that has come up for us in the past and something we have taken back to our project team to understand what opportunities exist to maintain that community asset,” said Baker.

A division of

“Post final investment decision, when we renovate to get more desks and offices, we were looking at ways to isolate the gym, but we will look to see if there is a way we can get it going sooner than that,” added Gill.
