Scientists urge rejection of Lelu LNG site By Josh Massey THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

TERRACE - The Pacific NorthWest LNG project planned for Lelu Island faces another challenge now that a group of 108 scientists and academics have signed a collective letter urging the federal government to reject the $11.4 billion dollar export terminal planned for the Skeena River estuary close to Port Edward. The March 11 letter outlines a number of reasons why the signers believe that the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency (CEAA) draft report released last month is flawed in its conclusion that the project would not have a severe impact on fish

and that the methods it used to draw this conclusion were not based on sound science. Addressed to federal environment and climate change minister Catherine McKenna, the letter was written by six scientists and co-signed by 103 others, and concludes that “while we are not decision-makers, we can assess when decisions would be made based on false premises. This is one of those instances. We urge you to reject this draft report.” The CEAA draft report was completed after a prolonged environmental review, and concluded that the project design would not adversely affect Flora Bank adjacent to Lelu Island, which is a tidal area full of eelgrass where young fish congregate.

“A worse location is unlikely to be found for PNW LNG with regard to potential risk to fish and fisheries,” reads the letter countering the ministry’s draft report. The report is now nearing the end of a 30-day public comment stage after which it will be finalized and then sent to McKenna and other federal cabinet ministers for review. They’ll then make the ultimate decision on whether the project is rejected or accepted pending it meeting any number of conditions which may be laid out. That federal acceptance is the last of two conditions Pacific NorthWest LNG, which is majority-owned by the Malaysian-state Petronas corporation, announced must be met last June.

The first condition, already checked off, was the finalization of provincial project development agreement legislation which was passed last summer. The group’s criticism of the CEAA report contained five main points including the opinion it misrepresented the importance of the area to fish, proceeded with lack of information (for example of fish species like eulachon which were never studied), relied too heavily on the science provided by Pacific Northwest LNG-funded studies, didn’t look adequately at cumulative effects, and made unproven claims that is could offset the damage it does through enhancing other areas of the watershed.

Why Lelu Island?

Thank you to everyone who submitted comments to the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency (CEAA) on 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.

How many potential sites were investigated before Lelu Island was selected? Our team conducted an extensive review of site options before selecting Lelu Island. We began by conducting a desktop review of 18 potential sites on Canada’s west coast for our proposed LNG facility. We then narrowed the search to six sites that were physically investigated. Lelu Island was selected as the best site. Why did PNW LNG choose Lelu Island? Lelu Island is the best site for many reasons including: Naturally deep water

Relatively flat site

Direct access to shipping routes to Asia

Will the project impact Flora Bank? We understand that Flora Bank and the surrounding marine areas are of significant economic and cultural importance to local residents and First Nations. 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 be done to protect Flora Bank? A number of mitigation measures would be implemented during construction and operations to ensure any changes to Flora Bank stay within predicted ranges. Some of CEAA’s potential conditions include monitoring the structure of Flora Bank for changes, conducting additional modelling prior to construction, and monitoring eelgrass beds to confirm changes are within the range of natural variability.

Responsible LNG possible, speakers tell Rupert luncheon By Kevin Campbell THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - The development footprint, it seems, is growing larger and larger as new industrial projects are proposed in the Prince Rupert and Port Edward area but with it, residents are making sure that above all else it’s responsible. In a specially scheduled luncheon hosted by the Prince Rupert and District Chamber of Commerce, responsible development was defined and discussed by four different community leaders on the North Coast. First under the microscope for large scale projects possibly on the horizon was that of Pacific NorthWest LNG’s Lelu Island export terminal, currently in the public input phase of the environmental assessment process. Clifford White, elected Chief of the Gitxaala First Nation, Blair Mirau, City of Prince Rupert councillor, Glen Edwards, president of the International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWU) Local 505, and James Witzke, environmental assessment manager for the Kitkatla Environmental Monitoring Office of the Tsimshian Environmental Stewardship Author-

ity (TESA) all took to the mic to lay out some of the background and behind-thescenes work and unique expertise that their position has given them. Chief White started things off with some eyeopening statistics, including the fact that 90 per cent of Kitkatla faces unemployment today. “Don’t leave us out,” he asked the decision-makers. “I need a job. We all need jobs in Kitkatla. Our people who are unemployed in Kitkatla and Prince Rupert are finding it very hard to get a job.” He stated that while it might be easy for workers to build a terminal, use it and go back to their original homes outside the region, White’s First Nations communities do not have that option and they do not want to leave. For them, the North Coast is home. “It’s easier for you to move away. It’s easier for you to move back to your mother lands. For us, this is our mother land. This is where we come from. We’re not going away. For your grandchildren and great grandchildren who are going to be living right beside my grandchildren and great grandchildren, we want to make sure we leave them a legacy where there’s a lot of oppor-

CLIFFORD WHITE tunity and for them to have a relationship with each other, rather than babbling the last couple centuries like you and I have been babbling,” said Chief White. The elected chief also offered some insight into the discussions with the hereditary chiefs within his Nation, often intense in nature. “I wish everybody the best of luck, because I know I’ve put my neck on the line for this and when I’m speaking with the hereditary table, when I’m speaking with our chief and council, we have very heated conversations in terms of whether or not [this project] should go. But right now we’re supporting the process so long as the environmental assessment continues to have the highest standards possible,” he said.

After White came Coun. Blair Mirau, and his unique perspective of growing up in “one of the worst economic periods of Prince Rupert” in the 1990s and early 2000s. “I had to grow up asking my parents questions like ‘Why is my soccer league now four teams instead of 12? Why is the Dairy Queen closed? Why do all my friends have to move away ... You can’t rationalize that to a 12-year-old,” said Mirau. The councillor went on to explain that with the disappearance of one-third of the population after the pulp mill closed, also came the disappearance of one-third of the City’s operating budget. Upcoming necessities like a waste water treatment plant, a new fire hall and police station, and other aging infrastructure has left the City with an infrastructure deficit of $180 million. “The City of Prince Rupert is supportive in the development of the liquefied natural gas export industry in our city. We believe that if it’s done responsibly with the right environmental conditions, mitigations and monitoring, that the industry can peacefully coexist with our community and create significant benefits. Our support is not just in words, it’s also evident in the fact that council

TRICORP Aboriginal Youth Initiative Program

rezoned District Lot 444 just north of Seal Cove and subsequently signed an option agreement with Exxonmobil,” said Mirau, adding that the City is still negotiating a community benefits agreement with Pacific NorthWest LNG. “Isn’t it a much better situation to be planning for growth than to have to continue planning for population decline and businesses closing and people leaving the community?” he said. Edwards took over after Mirau, painting the audience a picture of the ups and downs of harbour labour . The picture is looking more and more rosy, ever since the Prince Rupert Port Authority and Maher Terminals/DP World Prince Rupert have been involved in container cargo activity. “At the time [before 2007] we had 35 members and probably 40-50 casuals. Now, I just swore in our 127th member and we’ve got about another 300 casuals – all local jobs ... Clifford’s right. We have work to do with First Nations and we will work with First Nations because we always have.” Edwards noted that the union will be looking to fill another 250 jobs this year and that the number of manhours worked has risen all the way from 60,000 in 2009 to

646,061 man-hours in 2015. “We certainly, as a union, do support responsible development as long as it’s done in a balanced way with the environment and jobs,” he said. The last speaker of the day was Witzke, who helped educate the audience on the lengthy process behind Kitkatla’s environmental monitoring process and the newlydeveloped TESA. “Kitkatla, and all of the other Nations that are up here – they’ve known for hundreds, if not thousands of years that that area is important for fish. A lot of people say ‘Why is everyone making a big deal about it We know that, let’s just assume that ... because we’ve known that for hundreds, of not thousands of years’. But we still have to prove that in our modern day with technology,” he said. Witzke said TESA contracted independent reviewers to look at the modelling work done by Pacific NorthWest LNG, and though they found gaps in the science through their critical analysis, they also found that the proposed terminal as it stands now with a suspension bridge, wouldn’t catastrophically impact Flora Bank. This was also confirmed by “four to five other independent reviewers.”

Terrace committee ponders public washroom availability By Josh Massey

THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

TERRACE - The city’s homelessness task group is examining the possibility of extending the hours of public washrooms or even putting in more facilities. “They need some place to go that they have dignity,” said manager of George Little House Debbie Letawski. “Because what they do is they use the area around here as a public washroom, so for me and my staff to clean up around here, it’s been really bad, especially the last two years.” Letawski has met in the past with the homelessness task group to see about having a temporary outhouse put near the tourist destination located by the CN tracks. Typically Letaw-

ski has quite a number of people coming into George Little House asking to use the bathroom, and she doesn’t always feel safe because she is frequently alone in the building. However, the chair of the task group, Danielle Lavoie, advised Letawski that having an outhouse there might make the problem of people hanging around George Little House worse. The homelessness task group has been discussing longer terms solutions to the homeless situation. One of city council’s two appointees to the group, Stacey Tyers, said the city has already been looking into what can be done to open what public washrooms there are for longer periods of time. At George Little Park, for example, the

TERRACE - Terrace RCMP report that a vehicle was abandoned on the China Bar near Polymar Creek where it meets the Skeean River over the last weekend. A red Jeep got stuck then submerged when the tide came up. The registered owner was contacted by Prince Rupert RCMP. Meanwhile, in Thornhill, Terrace RCMP report a hit and run involving a vehicle crashing through the fence and deck of a residence on the 3900 block of Old Lakelse Lake Dr.

public bathrooms are open mainly during public events. According to Tyers, the problem is mainly at night when businesses and social agencies who do have washrooms are closed. “A better idea might be to talk to [the city’s] public works [department] about actually opening the public bathrooms and having more police and having some video cameras for entering and exiting, for more security.” “George Little House isn’t the only place having to deal with the public defecation,” she said listing the area around the downtown building where she works and Brolly Square as also being problem areas. Tyers said she hopes that more substantial solutions can be found as the homelessness group continues meet-

ing and speaks with various social agencies around town. Those agencies, Tyers added, are more hands-on when it comes to coping with the homeless. Aside from the city’s washrooms at George Little Park, the only other public washrooms are located at the Terrace Public Library located within the park. Head librarian David Tremblay says part of the library’s mandate as a public institution is to provide washrooms but like other facilities around town, the library has had problems with non-library patrons using its facilities. He feels that having the city’s own public bathroom in George Little Park open for more than special events would be a bonus. “It would be great to have a public washroom for everyone,” he said.

PRPA CEO Don Krusel, second from right, spoke at the 16th Trans-Pacific Maritime Conference.

Rupert port hot topic at California Conference By Shannon Lough PRINCE RUPERT - Using the Port of Prince Rupert as an alternative — and more efficient — option was the talk of a shipping conference held in Long Beach, California last week. The 16th Trans-Pacific Maritime conference held a panel called “Prince Rupert, a model for cooperation that benefits supply chains” on March 1. The Prince Rupert Port Authority’s CEO, Don Krusel, was in the panel along with representatives from DP World, Canadian National Railway and Microsoft, to discuss how Prince Rupert is a growing player in the port scene. Over the four days, Prince Rupert was mentioned in other presentations as well, said the manager of corporate communications for the Port, Michael Gurney. “One shipper talked about how, in trying to get his cargo to a distribution centre near Chicago, it made much more sense to go through Prince Rupert than through any of the busy West Coast U.S. ports, even though his destination is actually in the U.S.,” Gurney said, adding that other stories of the same ilk were brought up in other sessions. As West Coast U.S. ports become more congested, Prince Rupert’s port gains the advantage in maintaining speed and efficiency. The Fairview terminal was built with speed in mind, Gurney said. The trains are loaded right at the terminal and because Prince Rupert is a smaller community without the ur-

ban sprawl Vancouver has, the trains can hit mainline speeds almost immediately. At the conference there was also some discussion on expanding the Panama Canal. “One presenter felt that despite the opening of the expanded canal that there would not be a threat to Prince Rupert traffic specifically because of our fast service through the Midwest. That’s reassuring,” Gurney said who has received questions on the subject before. The Port is a regular sponsor of the annual Trans-Pacific Maritime conference and usually sends someone to take part in one or more of the panel presentations. Gurney also said that many of the Port’s shipping customers were at the conference touting Prince Rupert as a reliable solution with a consistent performance. “Despite challenges in the last few years around winter time slow downs, because of weather on the railroads for example, they keep sticking with Prince Rupert and they expressed thanks for Rupert’s ability to help them through difficult times.”

Weather shelter closed in Kitimat due to lack of need KITIMAT - The local cold weather homeless shelter has closed early with its sponsoring agency citing lower than anticipated demand and a milder than expected winter. Opened late last fall, the extreme weather shelter was to be open until the end of March, but closed instead at the end of February. The shelter, which offered beds in the downstairs area of the Kitimat First Baptist Church, just wasn’t used as widely as first thought, said

Margaret Warcup of the Kitimat Child Development Centre, which runs a variety of social services programs, including housing support and advocacy. One of the reasons cited, Warcup continued, was the success of another housing service offered by the child development centre which found places to live for people who might otherwise have used the shelter. “Thanks to our staff, we were able to find housing for people who

were hard to house,” said Warcup. “And we really want to celebrate that as we do this kind of support work and the goal is to have safe and secure housing for everyone.” A few people who might also have used the shelter have passed away which also reduced the demand. “The weather has been not so bad and there are a few people camping but they are not at risk,” said Warcup. At peak usage, the

shelter could have housed 15 people at the Kitimat First Baptist Church. But even though closed, a person or persons needing a place to stay can still receive assistance by contacting the housing resource program offered through the child development centre. Based on individual circumstances a person could be provided a place to stay in Kitimat or provided with bus transportation to go to Terrace to use its emergency housing facilities, said Warcup.

That matches the contract the child development centre has with the provincial BC Housing agency to provide cold weather shelter for homeless people. This is the first full season the child development centre has had a grant from BC Housing to operate a cold weather shelter. It had a partial grant the year before and relies on a core of volunteers, said Warcup.

Moose management modernized VICTORIA - The Province will strengthen its current moose management strategy as the initial phase in examining how to modernize aspects of wildlife management, such as licensing, inventory, research and increased engagement in wildlife management decisions. These actions are one of the key responses to recommendations from Mike Morris’ report, Getting the Balance Right - Improving Wildlife Habitat in British Columbia. The ministry manages all wildlife on the principle of conservation first. Other principles considered in the management of moose include First Nations’ rights, hunting and predator management, as well as access and habi-

tat management. The moose enhancement strategy will focus on growing moose populations for the benefit of all British Columbians. The strategy will build on interim findings from the five-year provincewide moose research project and the ministry’s 2015 Provincial Framework for Moose Management. Al Gorley is contracted to engage with key wildlife stakeholders and First Nations in developing a moose enhancement strategy. In addition, Gorley, in consultation with interested parties, will identify opportunities to improve and modernize British Columbia’s overall wildlife management framework. “We’re committed to healthy and sus-

Carr-Harris family finds location for memorial bench By Kevin Campbell THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - The family of former Prince Rupert pilot Mike Carr-Harris has successfully found a suitable location for a memorial bench to be built facing Seal Cove’s Seaplane Base in his honour. After requesting to install a bench beside the three existing benches facing the seaplane harbour to the City of Prince Rupert, Marilyn Carr-Harris, Mike’s daughter, was told that further development on the plot of land that the three existing benches currently reside wasn’t possible due to the city not knowing whether the land was owned by them or the federal government, who approved the three benches already in place, and was situated in a spot that is vital in operating nearby utilities. “[The city] offered other memorial bench options, none of which are in the location which is most important to our family and to my dad and his flying, so we let the city know that wasn’t an option for us,” said Marilyn, whose father, Mike, passed away earlier this year. That space would be any spot facing the sea, with a view of the seaplanes landing and taking off – a scene quite familiar with the Carr-Harris family, who watched Mike take off and land at Seal Cove between the years of 1987, when the family first moved to Prince Rupert, and 1999. He was mainly a chief pilot for North Coast Air Services, run by owner Jack Anderson, who himself has a bench placed at Seal Cove in his honour, Mike served a number of air companies in Prince Rupert, including Harbour Air and Inland Air in the dozen years he served the community. “Before Prince Rupert, he ran and owned an airline in Port Alberni. He flew up and down Vancouver Island and he later became

a pilot with a company called the Flying Firemen, based in Victoria, where he ‘birddogged’ and led numerous wildfire-fighting missions in northern Alberta. “He initially got into flying from being in the airforce in the ‘50s and he tested planes. He flew CF-100s and his squadron was the 419 Air Squadron. They flew out of North Bay and he was known as a navigator,” said Marilyn. Flying bush planes in B.C.’s northwest as well as in the Yukon and the Arctic, Mike even rescued a stranded archaeologist on King William Island in Nunavut, who was searching for remains from the infamous Franklin Expedition – a voyage by England’s Sir John Franklin, sailing with HMS Erebus and HMS Terror, in search of a northwest passage. In 2014, Parks Canada discovered the wreckage of HMS Erebus. “The story is that one pilot made an attempt to rescue him from that area, but the weather was bad and he had to turn back. My dad met with that pilot in a bar and said ‘I’ll give it a try’. So in very dangerous weather conditions he managed to make a landing out of a very thin strip of lake, picked him up and said ‘I can only carry you, I can’t carry any equipment or bags’,” said Marilyn. The Carr-Harris family has raised the $1,500 needed to build the bench and will receive help from the city in its installation. “After reviewing the area, staff and the Mayor have contacted the family to offer up a new location for a memorial bench, which boasts the same view as the one identified in the initial request ... Staff at the city will be working with the family to get the bench installed, and are happy to have a resolution that works for everyone,” said city communications manager Veronika Stewart. “Mayor Lee Brain offered us an alterna-

This is a suitable location that honours my dad’s legacy as a bush pilot of the

northwest coast,” Marilyn wrote in a statement. “[My dad] was a very humble man and very deserving of this memorial,” she said last week.

Bosnian lab settles missing person case By Shannon Lough THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - A missing person case in Prince Rupert from 1981 has finally been laid to rest. Robert (Bob) William Johnston went missing when he was only 19-years-old. In 1995, hikers found human remains on the south side of Mount Hays. The evidence was sent to the BC Coroners Service, and the Johnston family donated DNA to see if the remains belonged to their son but the results were inconclusive. Johnston’s sister, Ann Marie Sexton, has been put through a wash of emotions over the years, waiting to find out what happened to her brother. “When they weren’t able to create a profile that was disappointing. It was reopening a wound along with not having that closure, not even a Band-Aid to put on it,” Sexton said. The Johnston family used to live in Terrace, where Sexton remembers her brother would disappear for a few days to trek in the mountains — without telling a soul. When the family moved from Terrace to Surrey, and Sexton moved to Cold Lake, Alberta, her brother moved to Prince Rupert on his own. He often spoke about living off the grid, and when he disappeared Sexton said it was always in the back of her mind that was what he did. Fourteen years later, when the hikers found the remains on Mount Hays, Sexton said that her family thought that it might be Bob. “He loved the outdoors and he loved being in the bush, he loved hiking. It’s not surprising where he was found because that was one of his favourite places,” Sexton said. Another 22 years later, with improved technology and lab technicians, new testing proved that the DNA was a positive match for Johnston. “It’s been worked on since 1995, it’s just taken that long for technology to catch up,” said Laurel Clegg, the manager of the Identification and Disaster Response Unit. The special team works on difficult unidentified remains cases and has a list of 176 individuals they are trying to identify. As technology improved the unit tried in 2000 and again in 2003 to

extract DNA from the remains found at Mount Hays. “Unfortunately, it was unsuccessful. It’s just the nature of 9, 2016 1 how the remains are found, what h c r Ma they’re exposed to: water, weather, cold, heat, all that affects the ability to extract DNA from bone,” Clegg said adding that the unit had to let it go at that point. In a last ditch effort, the unit decided to send samples from 24 difficult-to-identify individuals, including the bone samples found at Mount Hays — to Bosnia. “This laboratory in Bosnia is set up as a result of the war where they became very good at extracting the DNA out of remains that have been exposed to weather and so forth. They’re one of the best in the world at doing this,” Clegg said. The Bosnian International Commission of Missing Person CONTRIBUTED / THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR (ICMP) laboratory was created in Robert William Johnston went missing when he 1996 after the conflict ended in the was only 19-years-old. former Yugoslavia. The organization was tasked to identify more than 40,000 people who were reported missing between 1991 until 1995.

Cash offered for innovative and viable ideas TERRACE - Last year local resident Tony Walker won $1,000 to further develop his idea of a micro-hydro project to provide power for the Shames Mountain ski area and and wean it off of using a diesel generator. That same year, Chris Barton of Terrace won $1,500 to buy equipment to fabricate reflectorless survey targets. This year organizers of the 2016 Northwest Innovation Challenge are back looking for more ideas from northwestern B.C. residents leading to commercially-viable businesses and projects.

CF-18s could appear

ROYAL CANADIAN Air Force CF-18s could fly low over Terrace this summer should a local request be granted. The appearance would coincide with the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 13’s 2016 Riverboat Days parade on July 30. “To add excitement and variety to the 20l6 [Riverboat Days] program, a request has been made for Royal Canadian Air Force participation,” wrote Riverboat Days president Susan Bostock in a letter to Terrace city council. “Specifically, the RCAF has been asked to perform a flyover of downtown Terrace to coincide with the legion parade which commences at 11 a.m. Saturday, July 30,” Bostock wrote. The air force’s CF18 demonstration team is in western Canada and Alaska during late July and early August, making a Terrace appearance possible, Bostock added. “However, knowing RCAF assets are difficult to obtain on holiday long weekends, the invitation includes consideration of other ways to participate and to consider any of the l0 days of Riverboat Days,” she said. “This might lead to a flyby on a day other than July 30 and/or a static display at the airport.”

“We are really excited to see what ideas people come up with. This is the third annual Northwest Innovation Challenge and applications just keep getting better,” said Rick Brou-

wer from the non-profit Skeena-Nass Centre for Innovation in Resource Economics (SNCIRE) based in Terrace. SNCIRE is based on the idea of developing viable and stable busi-

ness opportunities away from what has been the traditional boom and bust cycle of natural resource use in the region. “In 2014 and 2015, applicants of all ages, from across the re-

gion, presented incredibly smart and creative ideas,” said Brouwer. “Many had real potential to benefit the region and for new business opportunities. Others were quirky and

fun. We were impressed by all of them.” As in the past two years, SNCIRE has lined up $10,000 in prize money allocated to seven specific categories.

There is a submission deadline of April 18 leading to the judging of finalists at a May 13 event in Terrace. Application information is available at www.sncire.ca.

Terrace Wolverines competing in Steelheads win CIHL Junior All Native Tournament By Xuyun Zeng

By Jackie Lieuwen

THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

TERRACE - Two Terrace Wolverine basketball teams are heading to the Junior All Native Basketball Tournament in Williams Lake next week, March 13-19. With a mix of players ages 17 and under, including Nisga’a, Tahltan, Tsimshian and Metis, the team was formed from some of the regulars at the weekly drop-in basketball at the Clarence Michiel gym. With girls playing Tuesday nights and boys on Wednesdays, the Wolverines’ basketball drop-in is open to all youths, not just First Nations, and is run by a group of parents who want to make activities available for their children. At the drop-in, the youths do 20 minutes of fitness and jumping, then run drills and practise the fundamental skills, and finally they scrimmage. The program started in 2012 when Suwilaawks principal Pamela Kawinsky and Fred Wilson opened the gym one evening for a random basketball night for youths. A lot of youths showed up that night so parents organized two teams, boys and girls, to travel and compete in the Junior All Native that year. The next year, local parents stepped up to continue the dropin, including Cecil Barton and Tiffany Moore who now run the boys’ drop-in and Daniel Henry who runs the girls’ program. “I got involved because of my daughter. She was the reason

I came here, she was the reason I stayed,” said Henry, adding that the other part is that he wants to provide a consistent program for youth. “That’s one thing I would like to see here, is a steady youth drop-in basketball. That’s why I do this – I want to see the kids out playing… staying active,” he said. Tiffany Moore agreed. “I grew up playing basketball and wanted to support these guys and give them something to do… it provides a safe place… I’d rather them be here than out doing other things,” she said. “I do it to support my kids and help these other guys.” The parents run a basketball drop-in during the school year and a drop-in soccer program during the summer as much as they can find gym time, which has been the biggest challenge. A core group of over 12 parents meet regularly to plan and organize fundraising for the Wolverines, so that the youth who drop-in can travel to nearby communities for games a few times each year and so they can send a team to the Junior All Native. Since they ask for community support, Henry says the group works to keep involved in the community and give back through volunteering for things like community cleanup and the Terry Fox Run. They have had a lot of support from the community in Terrace, and were sponsored by the Nisga’a Lisims Government this year in order to travel to the Junior All Native. “It’s big for them, it’s an ex-

my friends [on the team]… and they’re my brothers to this day,” Henry said, adding that he wants the same for the youths on the team. “I mentioned that to these girls: respect each other and take care of each other, and be sisters forever… That’s what I want,” he said.

SMITHERS - The Smithers Steelheads won the Central Interior Hockey League playoffs, beating the Williams Lake Stampeders in the second game 5-3 last Saturday. Each team knew what was at stake and they held no punches. “Feels great to win,” said head coach Tom DeVries. “They’re so skilled, and we just seem to play them right, and limited their chances. We scored at opportune times and it was a great game for us.” The Steelheads kept ahead of the Stampeders, finishing the first period 2-1, then 4-2 in the second frame. Each team netted one in the third, but Stampeders’ were two goals behind. The game concluded and the Steelheads threw their gear all over their ice, gathering to cheer, as captain Ian Smith held the trophy high in the air. “It was really good. It was a huge team effort last weekend in Williams Lake and today was no different,” said Smith. “We had all lines going, we had everyone contributing out there.” Centreman Brendan DeVries won CIHL playoffs MVP and top scorer in the league season. “Losing last year sucked in a good series against Terrace,” he said. “But to beat them this year, and to top it off with winning the league, it’s just awesome, I’ve never won too much in my career or in my life, so it’s just great to win here.” DeVries, who also was the top scorer in the CIHL regular season, says he has no secret to his success. “I just try to play hard, try not to make too many mistakes, just pass the puck around and try to make the plays out there,” he said. The Steelheads will play in the Coy Cup provincials in Terrace March 2226.

Novice Seawolves tie Kitimat in minor hockey finals By William Gye

PRINCE RUPERT - The Prince Rupert Novice Seawolves wrapped up their season hosting the Prince Rupert Minor Hockey Association (PRMHA) Novice Tournament this past weekend. Teams from all over the Northwest came. After the round robin finished on Friday and Saturday at the Jim Ciccone Civic Centre, ‘Prince Rupert Blue’ found themselves facing off against Kitimat in the finals. Coach of Prince Rupert Blue, John Graham, commented on the final game and what made his youngsters so successful. “Our kids started to play hard. That’s what we wanted them to do, and we wanted them to have fun. We put a three letter game on the board. ‘F’ stands for fast, ‘U’ for you drive to the net, and ‘N’ for no quit. That spells fun.” “We tied three games and won one. That was a great result. We lost every game in our last tournament. We still persevered over the entire tournament,” added coach Corinne

Bomben. Brodie Graham for Prince Rupert Blue had an amazing end-to-end rush, scoring to cut into the deficit after Kitimat took a 3-0 lead early on. The visitors put on intense pressure but the athletes from Rupert were able to use the fundamentals that the coaches taught them; using the boards, playing your position, and getting the puck out of the dangerous areas to enable them to weather the pressure. Sarah Okrainatz was very good for Prince Rupert Blue in the second and third periods, stopping some point blank opportunities as well as second chance shots. Rupert’s individual skating was impressive. Some of the kids had either much natural skill or have put in a lot of effort in to be so fast quick, which bodes well for the future. Thor Pedersen for Rupert was able to bury a late goal with only seconds left, tying the game 4-4 after Prince Rupert Blue crawled their way to a comeback. Coach Bomben was grateful for the tour-
