Gold mine construction is well underway TERRACE - The company building a gold mine near Stewart now says it needs less money than first calculated to bring the project into production. Bids by contractors wanting work are more competitive because there is less activity overall in the Canadian resource development sector, says Troy Shultz of Pretium Resources which is building the Brucejack gold mine. Because the project is priced in American dollars, but with costs paid out in Canadian dollars, the recently-fallen Canadian dollar compared to the American dollar has worked to the company’s advantage.

“We’re getting a substantial savings from the exchange rate,” said Shultz of revised figures released last week which indicate the project now requires (US) $696.8 million compared to an earlier estimate of (US) $746.9 million. That earlier estimate came from a feasibility study completed in 2014. He says that companies are lowering their pricing to secure contracts because of the lack of work elsewhere. “Definitely we’re getting bids now that are a lot more competitive,” he said. “I believe we’re the only mining construction project now

underway in B.C.” In one specific area, development of the mine’s underground workings from where ore will be taken, Pretium at first calculated it would have to provide its own equipment, said Shultz. But the company will now be using a third-party mining contractor’s equipment that became available because of lack of work elsewhere. “That makes our costs there less expensive,” noted Shultz. Pretium’s revised financial model includes working capital for the first three months of operation once the mine has been commissioned. Pretium intensified its explo-

ration and development work at the location in 2013, advancing through environmental reviews and agreements with First Nations culminating in approvals for construction being granted last year. Construction work began last fall and has continued through the winter with work to accelerate this year leading to a late 2017 opening. At the peak of construction 900 people working on-site and off will be required and during operations, the workforce will number 500. A mine life of 18 years is anticipated and exploration at the local continues.

Protecting Fish and Fish Habitat The Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency (CEAA) recently released its draft environmental assessment report and potential conditions for Pacific NorthWest LNG (PNW LNG). To review the draft CEAA report and conditions, please visit bit.ly/DraftCEAAReport. What did CEAA determine about the project’s impact to salmon? Over the past two-and-a-half years, PNW LNG commissioned over 100,000 hours of scientific and engineering studies to better understand fish and fish habitat on and around Flora Bank. After reviewing PNW LNG’s research, CEAA concluded that the project is not likely to cause significant adverse environmental effects on fish and fish habitat, taking into account the implementation of PNW LNG’s proposed mitigation measures and CEAA’s draft conditions. What will PNW LNG do to protect salmon during construction and operations? Pacific NorthWest LNG intends to be a long-term, contributing member of the community. As part of our environmental assessment application, we proposed fish and fish habitat mitigation measures to protect local salmon populations. Those include implementing a habitat offsetting plan, using low-noise and bubble curtain construction techniques, incorporating scour protection around tower platforms, and including shoreline protection material in construction.

PacificNorthWestLNG.com

What did you learn about salmon in your studies? As part of the fish and fish habitat studies, our scientists undertook a detailed year-long fish survey throughout 2015. As part of it, five species of Pacific salmon were caught, including chinook, chum, coho, pink and sockeye. The most salmon were observed between April and August, and pink salmon was the most frequently caught. How can I provide feedback? CEAA is accepting comments from the public until March 11, 2016. Comments can be emailed to GNLPacificNorthwestLNG@ceaa-acee.gc.ca.

Parents and others worried about lead in schools’ water By Shannon Lough

THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - Parents in Prince Rupert were informed by School District 52 of elevated lead levels in the drinking water at four schools last week – Pineridge Elementary, École Roosevelt Park Community School, Conrad Elementary and Prince Rupert Middle School. A letter was sent out to parents on Feb. 16 ensuring that the drinking water given to students and staff is safe and that the schools in the district have already taken steps to “address possible health concerns related to exposure to lead, including the implementation of a flushing program before the start of each school day,” as written in the letter by Sandra Jones, superintendent of schools in School District 52. Lead is a naturally occurring metal found in the earth and the letter explains that everyone is exposed to low levels of lead in food, tap water, air, dust, soil and some consumer products. But the federal government restricts its use now. In the four affected schools the cause was found to be lead in the plumbing system. Schools built before 1989 were tested by Northern Health for possible exposure to lead. In buildings where tap water remains in the pipes for a long time it can increase the levels of lead present in the water. “Flushing programs are shown to be effective in decreasing lead levels at the tap. School District 52 has purchased and is installing new filtered water fountains tested and shown to effectively remove lead. Children and

staff will be asked to fill water bottles from these filtered fountains, or other designated sources,” the letter states. In response to Northern Health’s findings, MLA Jenni-

“Children are very vulnerable to lead exposure.” NDP MLA Jennifer Rice

fer Rice said in a press release that she is deeply concerned over the elevated lead levels in drinking water at the Prince Rupert schools. “Children are very vulnerable to lead exposure, and the levels found in school drinking water exceeded Health Canada guidelines,” Rice said. “In light of these findings I want to see older schools in other communities in the northwest, on the central coast and on Haida Gwaii are tested for lead exposure.” The City of Prince Rupert responded to ease concerns of residents. “We want to reassure the public that there is no lead contamination through the delivery of potable water to the citizens of Prince Rupert. We test our water weekly at different locations and Northern Health has confirmed that the municipal water supply is safe to drink,” Mayor Lee Brain said in a press release.

“I am deeply concerned about this discovery. I can assure you that we will be working with our partners at Northern Health and the School District to look more closely into how this happened, as well as steps we can take to ensure citizens are better informed regarding how to prevent similar issues at home.” However, the City is responsible for water only up to a homeowner’s property line. Up until 1975, the National Plumbing Code allowed lead to be used in pipe material and it wasn’t abolished until 1990. Some homes have been upgraded in the city but for homes that haven’t, the City urges those homeowners to have Northern Health test their water. Sample kits can be picked up at the Northern Health Public Health Unit in Prince Rupert on 300 3rd Ave. W. People can also bring a sample of water from home in a water bottle and have it analyzed for $29. Results will be mailed or emailed within two to three weeks and will be anonymously added in Northern Health’s data on lead exposure in the city. The subject came up in Victoria on Feb. 17 in the Legislative Assembly when the NDP education critic, Robert Fleming, said the ministry wasn’t doing enough on the issue. “In the case of Prince Rupert, they are flushing the pipes, and they’re telling parents that they can buy their own home leadtesting kit at a discount for $29. Is this all that the ministry is prepared to do — tell parents to buy a test kit and you’re on your own,” Fleming said.

Poor comprehension in conversation can possibly be caused by undetected hearing loss in the high-frequency range. This means the sensory cells in the cochlea that hear high-range sounds are damaged as a result of circulatory disorders, diabetes, sudden hearing loss or workplace noise. Hearing loss in the high frequency range makes speech sound muffled and unclear making it difficult to hear consonants like s, f, t, k, h and g.

Do you have good hearing but poor comprehension? Do you sometimes feel that you can hear well, but not fully understand what’s being said? This can be most evident in social conversations and watching television. Fortunately, there may be a solution for some people dealing with this type of hearing loss ‑ the Audéo Venture hearing aid has been designed specifically to help improve speech comprehension without being noticeable in the ear.

Paying it forward with oxygen masks to save pets By Todd Hamilton

THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

KITIMAT - Former Kitimat resident Sue Herzberg O’Grady has paid it forward to help Kitimat and Terrace firefighters help furry family members. “I read about the pet oxygen masks and many happy endings — they seemed like an in-

valuable tool for first responders to have access to if needed,” Herzberg O’Grady said. “I have many close friends who live in Kitimat and Terrace — I know their pets are family. And the pets vary in species and come in all shapes and sizes ... from hamsters to birds to dogs. “[It’s] tough to use a mask made for a human

size head on those various shapes of snouts, beaks and faces. The idea of having an oxygen mask on hand for whatever size pet that may need it in an emergency made sense.” Herzberg O’Grady, who was raised in Kitimat from the mid-’60s to the mid-’80s and now lives outside Los Angeles and works as a free-

lance animal trainer for the film and television industry, said she was glad to help the Kitimat and Terrace fire departments. “I started participat-

ing in a ‘Pay it Forward’ event on Facebook a couple of years ago ... I saw this a while back ... can’t remember where but it planted a seed ... an estimated 150,000 pets

die each year in fires — most succumbing to smoke inhalation. Most emergency responders are not equipped to deal with the crisis because they lack specially-de-

signed oxygen masks. “I was glad I could donate to communities close to my heart. I hope [firefighters] won’t have to use them, but I’m glad you have them.”

CityWest makes major infrastructure investments

Looking into the cord If you could take your cable cord and look inside it with a really high-powered microscope, you might see something similar to the pie chart at the lower right-hand part of this page.

10,000

Total bandwidth (Mbps)

PRINCE RUPERT, TERRACE and KITIMAT - At a luncheon put on by the Prince Rupert & District Chamber of Commerce, CityWest CEO Don Holkestad gave a presentation showing how the company is keeping up with the huge demand for Internet in Northwest B.C. After the meeting, he took a few moments to expand on his talk. “We’ve invested more than $6 million in the last year on improving our network, with most of that for Internet upgrades,” says Holkestad. “We’re doing our best to keep up with demand.” As proof, Holkestad presents a graph (at right) that shows the amount of data consumed by customers over the past five years. “This graph really shows an incredible trend,” said Holkestad. “Our customers sent around 600 megabits per second (Mbps) over our network in 2012. Last year, that had risen to 8,600 Mbps per second - that’s a 1,300 per cent increase over three years! “And the proportion of people using streaming video has risen too. We’re continually investing to make sure our customers get what they want.” But what exactly is a megabit per second? What does it measure? “The flow of data,” answers Holkestad. To illustrate, he uses the analogy of a water pipe. Let’s say your neighbourhood is fed with a ½ -inch pipe, which is fine for a while, since there’s not a lot of people living on your street. But as more and more people move in, they draw upon the water — but that small pipe can only send each person so much. To satisfy the homeowners’ water needs, the pipe size is increased to a 1½ -inch pipe, which works fine for a while...until even more people move into the neighbourhood. Then work begins on expanding the pipe to 2½ -inch. “It’s the same principle with bandwidth,” says Holkestad. “Internet users increase the flow when they download something, or stream a movie. And to increase the size of the pipe takes up a lot of resourcefulness from our employees, and a lot of capital.” That’s where the money was spent in the last year. Boosting the amount of bandwidth that goes through the network takes up a lot of time performing the upgrades, and with the work being conducted between 2-5 a.m. And as Holkestad points out, the increased demand for bandwidth isn’t the only thing that affects Internet speeds. “To continue with the water-pipe analogy, we’ve got this huge chunk in our pipe that we need to remove to help the water flow better.” And that blockage is analog TV.

As the cross-section shows, a large part of bandwidth is taken up by analog TV, but only a small slice for Internet. “That’s our next focus,” says Holkestad. “We’ve got more and more customers demanding faster Internet, and analog TV channel are taking up over half the pipe.” CityWest wasn’t left with many options: the company could shut down analog and reclaim the space for Internet; or it could maintain the status quo, perhaps putting some caps on data usage. But Holkestad wasn’t satisfied with either option - working with his staff, he found a third way. “I’m happy to announce that we’ve found a solution that will allow us to reclaim that analog portion of the pipe, and allow our analog TV customers to keep their programming,” says Holkestad. Dubbed the “analog substitution project,” CityWest will be sending out notices to its analog customers, letting them know they can keep their analog programming by getting a special converter. Customers can also take advantage of some great deals if they want to upgrade to digital TV. Like changing out a neighbourhood’s water pipes, finding a way to fix the bandwidth blockage will take some time. Holkestad says that the targeted end date is April 30, 2016, at which time analog will be moved out of the bandwidth pipe, allowing Internet to flow through into customers’ homes. Holkestad also encourages all analog customers to call CityWest at 1-800-442-8664 to make arrangements to keep their programming.

On right, the percentage of bandwidth usage by product. There’s a huge amount of Internet traffic going through a pipe that’s clogged with analog TV.

Third person of Nisga’a heritage takes legislative seat By Tom Fletcher THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

VICTORIA - The staid rules of the B.C. legislature were relaxed Feb. 17 for a ceremony where Nisga’a Nation dancers welcomed the first female First Nations person to serve as an MLA. Elected to represent Vancouver-Mount Pleasant, Melanie Mark is the third Nisga’a member to be elected to the B.C. legislature. Mark, who also has Gitxsan, Cree and Ojibway heritage, was born in the Mount Pleasant area of Vancouver. Her working career has included a stint in the office of the Representative for Children and Youth, an independent provincial agency, as well has at the Vancouver International Airport where she told tourists about the work of Haida artist Bill Reid. Frank Calder was the first in 1949 and Larry Guno the second in 1986. Calder represented the northern B.C. rid-

ing of Atlin until 1979 and was the first status native to be elected to a Canadian provincial legislature. He was also the first status native to hold a cabinet post and that took place in 1972. Mark won a byelection for the NDP on Feb. 2 and was sworn in along with Jodie Wickens in CoquitlamBurke Mountain, who becomes the youngest member of the current legislature. Current MLAs Carole James and Marc Dalton are of Métis heritage. Cameras and smartphones clicked in the usually restricted public gallery as legislature clerk Craig James administered the oath of office to what he noted were the 915th and 916th MLAs to serve since B.C. joined confederation in 1871. James drew sustained applause when he said the 85-seat legislature is now 38 per cent female, “the highest level of representation to ever sit in a Canadian legislature.”

Mark is of Nisga’a heritage. Deputy clerk Kate Ryan Lloyd described the first election in B.C., after which 25 MLAs were sworn in by Judge Matthew Begbie after a vote with no organized parties and no secret

ballot. “In many electoral districts, a simple show of hands or an open book recording the polls sufficed,” Ryan-Lloyd said. “At that time, there

were only 3,000 registered voters in the province of British Columbia, who qualified by being white male British subjects who had met certain property and residency re-

quirements.” James reminded the new MLAs they are two of 85, representing a population of 4.6 million people. “Together your presence is a demonstration

of how the legislature continues to evolve in reflecting the diversity of our province,” he said. Tom Fletcher is the Black Press correspondent in Victoria, B.C.

Another method they use is “up” cycling, which means that the product’s life is expanded.

The Discovery Child Care Centre on Prince Rupert Boulevard is now a designated drop-off point for people to leave recyclables that are made of mixed plastics, which require expensive recycling methods.

River Kings defeated by Steelheads, out of playoffs By Jackie Lieuwen THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

TERRACE - The Terrace River Kings are out of the running for the CIHL championship after being halted in their 3-game playoff win streak by Smithers Steelheads last weekend. On Saturday, Feb. 20, the River Kings lost 5-2 to Steelheads.

of our best periods maybe that we played all year. We were up 2-0 after that first period... The second was pretty similar. We played well, we were up 4-1 at one point and then another lapse,” Cullis said. With six minutes left in the second period, Steelheads scored in what Cullis called “a lucky goal.”

BC Lions inspire northern youth By Kevin Campbell

THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - Last Thursday, the Charles Hays’ Rainmakers’ blue and green gymnasium welcomed the infamous orange and black colours of the BC Lions. Three current members of the Canadian Football League’s (CFL) only B.C. team made the trek to Prince Rupert to perform their ‘Lions Pride’ presentation to Charles Hays Secondary School and Pacific Coast School on the last day of their week-long tour of B.C.’s north. Arriving at the school was starting safety and defensive back Eric Fraser, a second-year Lion, who won the Grey Cup in 2008, Stephen Adekolu, a third-year wide receiver from Brampton, ON and Emmanuel (‘Manny’) Arceneaux, a sixthyear Lions’ wide receiver who led the team in receiving yards in 2015 and was a CFL All-Star. The three players’ from the Lions Pride presentation hit on three main points for the young high-schoolers: the importance of teamwork, positive choices and setting goals. “This is our third day up here. We were in Terrace and Kitimat and we visited a couple high schools, it was awesome,” said Fraser. “We’re reaching out across the province because we’re representatives of the entire province, not just Vancouver [where we play]. It’s especially cool for me because I’m from the prov-

I was born in Duncan, raised in the Lower Mainland and I don’t think the Lions had these programs around or if they ever came to our schools. So it’s nice to be able to reach out and help some of these northern or smaller communities and bring our message to them,” he said. MCing the event was Adekolu himself, who was smooth with the mic and set up three different inter-

active activities that showed off students’ knowledge of goal-setting, teamwork and positive choices – tug of war, a push-up and sit-up race and a relay obstacle course. “You guys are reaching the age where you’re going to have to make some big decisions and those decisions will affect your life going forward into adulthood,” said Fraser. “When you make decisions involving violence or drugs or gangs or criminal activity, you can never be aware of the possible negative repercussions of those choices. It can multiply and come back on you.” Arceneaux pointed to the array of Rainmakers’ championship banners and told the young spectators that each of those banners were won by individuals working as one unit. “As you move into your profession, everything is built around teamwork. It’s impossible to achieve something on your own. It’s impossible for one individual to have all these banners. One person can’t get that done,” he said. After the event, the three players signed autographs and posed for pictures for the kids, and Adekolu finished the ‘Lions Pride’ presentation off with a final word of advice. “You may not know where you’ll end up, but as long as you set those goals, you may achieve something you never thought you could. Set a goal, make that step-ladder and take it one step at a time,” he said.

Right after that, River Kings took a kneeing penalty, giving Steelheads a two minute power play where they scored another goal to enter the third period at 4-3 for the Kings. “Then they were right back in it,” Cullis said, commenting that going into the third at 4-3 with a one

goal lead changed the feeling significantly. Steelheads tied up the game halfway through the third, then River Kings scored again to take the lead 5-4. But Steelheads tied up the game against with only three minutes left on the clock, launching the teams into another overtime contest. Cullis said overtime was marked with strong back and forth play, with both goalies playing strong as the first overtime period ended with no winner. The Kings took an interference penalty in the second overtime, and the Steelheads capitalized on the power play Steelhead Brendan DeVries scored his second goal of the game for the Steelhead win. Overall, Cullis said the intensity and closeness of the final game was a fitting way to end the season. “It was two fairly equal teams. It’s probably the way the series should have ended with two teams like that going into overtime. In overtime anything can happen, it just takes one shot,” he said.

The Steelheads now play Williams Lake in the final CIHL series. And on March 22-26, Terrace hosts the Coy Cup and a chance for a tournament victory.
