Several possible geo-technical hazards that were not listed on the maps compiled by Enbridge within its geo-hazard assessment report were pointed out during the first day of the Joint Review Panel hearings in Prince George. Elizabeth Graff, one of the counsel members representing the Province of British Columbia, grilled Drummond Cavers, an Enbridge geo-technical engineer accepted as one of the company’s expert witnesses, beginning with questions surrounding a surficial geology map, however Cavers said he couldn’t comment on that specific map without further information about it. The map was among the 540 pages of documents given to the witnesses by the province on Friday. “The proponent should not be able to split witnesses between expert panels,” Graff said when she was told the map wasn’t one Cavers was familiar with, and in fact questions surrounding it might be better addressed by someone else. Graff was informed Cavers was the expert witness available to discuss geo-technical hazards, though there was some confusion about the specific map she was asking about. Cavers explained some of the methodology used to create the geo-hazard assessment report. “Surficial information is covered in a variety of ways,” he said. Several tools, he said, were used to finish the compiled report, some of which weren’t available when the project began. Graff went on to ask questions about specific areas along the pipeline where

Whether or not seismic activity could jeopardize the safety of the Northern Gateway pipeline was at the root of many of the questions put to the Enbridge experts during the cross examination Wednesday at the Joint Review Panel hearings in Prince George. Murray Minchin with the Douglas Channel Watch, a group intent on protecting the environment of the Douglas Channel and the Kitimat valley, also brought up the potential for a major oil spill if the leak went undetected by the automated system that will be used to monitor the level of oil going through the pipeline. “If there’s a leak at 50,000 litres per hour, which would be 2,000 litres per hour below the 1.5 per cent, I believe, of nominal flow, so if the pipeline is spilling that amount of diluted bitumen for 24 hours, because it’s below the threshold (which would be detected by the computational pipeline monitoring system), wouldn’t that be 1.2 million litres per day spilled?” Minchin asked. Though Drummond Cavers, an expert witness for Enbridge, agreed the math Minchin used was correct, the conclusion he came to was in error because it was based on an assumption that the automated system was the only one Enbridge uses to detects leaks. Because of overlapping methods, he said, the leak would not go undetected for a 24-hour period. “You’re assuming that the material balance system, or what we call our computational pipeline monitoring system, is the only form of leak detec-

Playhouses sold to benefit Habitat

Prince George - News - Free Press

Friday, October 12, 2012

The top forestry companies in British Columbia have teamed up with some of the province’s most talented and innovative architectural firms and builders to form Canfor’s Playhouse Challenge. It’s a unique undertaking that will ultimately entertain thousands of B.C. children while providing funding to build homes for families in B.C. Canfor’s Playhouse Challenge has resulted in the building of several magnificent and whimsical children’s playhouses that are being sold to corporate donors, with proceeds benefiting Habitat for Humanity Canada. Each playhouse is a collaborative project with a B.C. for-

est products company donating building materials, an architectural team contributing creativity and design, and a local builder providing expertise. One of these playhouses was unveiled at the YMCA in Prince George last week. “We’re incredibly proud and excited to see this inaugural playhouse challenge come to fruition and not only bring joy to families across B.C. but also showcase the vast array of unique applications for B.C.’s sustainable forest products,” said Don Kayne, president and CEO of Canfor, in a press release. “It’s inspiring to watch the teams that have been brought together for this challenge as the compete to create the most original playhouses between the Pacific and the Rockies.”

GATEWAY perspectives

Changing the route to respect BC The Gateway pipeline route has already seen a decade of planning and testing, and thousands of hours of work, to ensure maximum safety and minimal environmental disturbance. And I’m proud to tell you that the work isn’t ﬁnished yet. First of all, I want to set the record straight on recent claims that the Gateway pipeline runs through the Great Bear Rain Forest on British Columbia’s coast — they are categorically false. As it happens, our team of engineers has taken great pains to ensure that the proposed pipeline route is almost entirely made up of pre-existing corridors of activity — such as logging roads, forestry roads, cut lines, or other “pre-disturbed” areas — to reduce its footprint as much as possible. Our engineers, and experts familiar with B.C.’s terrain, have also spent years using the most advanced technology available to identify the potential for geohazards — landslides, rock fall, avalanches, seismic issues, and marine clays. As a result, we’ve worked hard to minimize the risk, and ensure the safest pipeline route possible, with extra measures such as deeper pipe burial, tunnels, and special pipe design.

Join the conversation at

Our engineering team is constantly reﬁning the Gateway pipeline route. Years ago we started with Route A, and nearly two dozen route amendments later, we’re working on Route V. Many of those changes have come, and others will come, as a result of working with environmental groups, Aboriginal communities, and government agencies. Along the entire length of the pipeline in B.C., we’ll minimize impact to sensitive ﬁsh and animal habitat, reclaim the right-of-way for wildlife, and strictly control and manage access. Safety, and respect for the environment, have been our primary considerations in charting the Gateway pipeline route over the past 10 years. And that’s not about to change.

Sessions met by protestors

Q PIPELINE HEARINGS

First Nations people say pipeline is not the way to go for the land DELYNDA PILON newsroom@pgfreepress.com

The sound of beating drums and the voices of First Nation’s people united in protest greeted the first day of the Joint Review Panel hearings in Prince George on Tuesday. “We are demonstrating to show our opposition to the Enbridge pipeline,” Terry Teegee, Carrier Sekani Tribal Council chief, said while holding up a sign reading ‘Protect First Nations Rights and Interests’. Teegee added the protesters also have an issue with the JRP process itself. “We don’t just disagree

with the project, but the process as well. We see it as rubber stamping. We believe in the near future, by the end of next year, Harper will approve the pipeline.” Teegee said the JRP is not taking the rights and title of First Nations people into account as it hears testimony and evidence from intervenors. “We are looking at filing litigation,” he said, adding they intend to take their case to the Supreme Court and follow every appeal process possible in order to be heard. Considering the time frame those type of suits take, he added, it may

be eight to 10 years before the case is finalized. “It baffles me why Enbridge would hang in there considering all the opposition to the project,” he said. “I don’t think it’s going to happen. I have heard people say they would do anything to stop this project by any means possible.” Former city councillor Debora Munoz also attended the protest. “I have been involved in opposition to this since 2008,” she said. “There are too many risks and no benefits I see coming to B.C.” She added she is not impressed with Enbridge’s

record when it comes to cleaning up oil spills. “Enbridge has a terrible record of spills and I don’t think our environment should be for sale at any price. Our environment, our lands, our fish are not for sale and shouldn’t be on the bargaining table.” Munoz added that she recently attended a lecture where a leading Canadian economist, Robyn Allan, spoke. “According to Robyn Allan the prices at the pumps will go up for Canadians,” she said. “And I understand there will be very few jobs available for northern British Columbi-

ans along the pipeline.” Although not at the protest, Coun. Brian Skakun attended the first day of the Prince George hearings, sitting in the audience to listen to the testimony presented. “I have a number of concerns with this,” he said. “First, I am concerned with the lack of consultation thus far with the First Nations community and I support their stand against the pipeline.” Along with many others, Skakun expressed his concern regarding the environment should the pipeline go through. “Who will be responsible for spills? Who pays? They

are dealing with bitumen, not oil. There are different concerns.” Skakun said the Enbridge oil spill in Kalamazoo and the way it was dealt with did not alleviate his concerns. “Someone in the States said watching the clean-up down their was like watching the Keystone Kops,” he said. His final concern, he said, is that British Columbians just aren’t getting enough out of the deal. “We’re really getting nothing for the life of the pipeline,” he said. “Long term, the benefits just aren’t there.”

possible geo-hazards existed, in particular the Kitimat valley and possible deposits of glaciomarine clay. Glacial moraine clay, Cavers said, could present concerns, however solving those concerns is part of the on-going process. A detailed design, he said, would come later in the process, after the project is approved. Graff asked why, knowing the risk glaciomarine clay might present, mitigating its effects wasn’t discussed at this stage, before approval of the process. “What we have done is appropriate at this stage of the design,” Cavers said. “I have no hesitation defending what we have done.” He said the risk of the clays, if encountered, can be mitigated and that Enbridge intends on amassing a lot more information on the lower Kitimat valley. “Can you mitigate any risk presented?” Graff asked. Cavers said the lawyer was making a blanket statement and added

Enbridge expected to identify more potential geo-hazardous areas as the process continues. Graff went on to point out symbols on a map of the Skeena Sawmill area put together by the province’s forestry department which identified geo-hazards not noted within the Enbridge report. Cavers said the map compiled by forestry was done for a different and specific purpose, and the items they identified as geo-hazards might not be considered as such by Enbridge. Some of the symbols, he said, might point to geo-hazards while others may list geo-morphic conditions which may not equate a hazard from a pipeline operation perspective. “Do British Columbians have to be satisfied you will take care of all these potential issues after approval?” Graff asked. Cavers said he had described the process and said he was committed to that process, so it wasn’t a matter of trusting Enbridge. Graff then asked if that meant residents of the province had to trust the process worked, however counsel for Enbridge objected to the

Serrapeptase is thought to work in three ways: • It may reduce inﬂammation by thinning the fluids formed from injury, and facilitating the fluid’s drainage. This in turn, also speeds tissue repair. • It may help alleviate pain by inhibiting the release of pain-inducing amines called bradykinin. • It may enhance cardiovascular health by breaking down the protein by-products of blood coagulation called fibrin. This could enable the dissolution of atherosclerotic plaques without causing any harm to the inside of the arteries. Regardless of whether Serrapeptase is used for inflammatory diseases or to prevent plaque build up on the arteries, it is well-tolerated. Due to its lack of side effects and anti-inflammatory capabilities, Serrapeptase is a logical choice to replace harmful NSAIDs.

rephrased question, saying it had already been answered. Graff withdrew the question. The cross examination of the expert Enbridge panel is expected to continue today. During the three weeks the hearings are being held in the city, 24 intervenors are expected to get an opportunity to ask Enbridge representatives questions revolving around the safety and integrity of the pipeline, its socio-economic impacts as well as emergency response plans.

A computer science student at the University of Northern British Columbia has made getting around Prince George a little greener and a lot more convenient for fellow northerners. UNBC Master’s student Xinyi Zhuang created the iPhone app PG Transit to make a fast and easy – and free – way for residents to get to their bus on time. “I used to see many bus riders, especially people unfamiliar with the transit schedule, reading the paper-made Rider’s Guide, “says Zhuang, who came to UNBC last January from his home in Quanzhou, Fujian, southern China. “I think this app has great potential to make a better public transit system if there is a way to directly communi-

cate with the digital database of BC Transit. It will be easier to notice schedule changes and notifications.” So far, the app has about 100 downloads, mostly from Canada and the United States, after it was officially released on September 12. At first, Zhuang says he considered charging $0.99 to download the app, but then reconsidered. “It makes me happy just to see my fellow students and transit riders using the app and it’s also good for my resume,” says Zhuang. “It’s my career ambition to work at Google someday, so I hope this can be a step in that direction.” Zhuang says he hopes to develop the app next for Android.

Drug pickup no surprise Police intercepted a vehicle coming from a known drug trafficker’s house October 3 and weren’t really surprised with what they found. At approximately 9:30 p.m., officers pulled over a Honda Civic and found the 27-year-old driver to be in possession of cocaine. The driver and sole occupant was arrested. As a result of evidence located during this traffic stop, two search warrants were executed during the early morning hours of October 4. The warrants were for two separate residences. The first was on the 2900 block of Andres Road and the second on the 7100 block of Westgate Avenue, both in Prince George. Cocaine, drug trafficking material such as scales, packaging and other paraphernalia were located in both residences. In all, a small amount of marijuana, $5,000 in cash, and over four ounces of cocaine, which is more than 560 doses on the street, was seized. Three persons were arrested, including the driver of the vehicle. Investigators will be recommending drug trafficking related charges to federal Crown counsel.

What about after oil? T

here is a lot of discussion around oil and gas these days. With the Joint Review Panel hearings into Enbridge’s proposed Northern Gateway pipeline underway in Prince George, a Kinder Morgan public meeting in the Lower Mainland drawing a couple of hundred people, and Premier Christy Clark promoting liquefied natural gas last week during a stop in the city, it’s oil and gas week. And, it’s about money. Clark said the liquid natural gas is a trillion dollar industry. Oil is up there as well. The proposed Northern Gateway pipeline, if built, will transport 525,000 barrels of oil per day. The price of oil yesterday was just over $90 per barrel. We’ll do the math for you … that’s $47.5 million worth of oil per day (at today’s prices). Granted, the bitumen going west will be diluted so the price may not be quite that high, however the point is that there’s lots of money involved. One thing that is missing in the ongoing debate over oil and gas (separate from the pipeline issues) is that what will we do when it’s done? Oil is a finite resource. We all know that. So is natural gas, even though we have lots and lots of it. The day will come when these non-renewable resources will run out. That’s why we call them non-renewable. In all the debate over the economic benefits versus the environmental risks of the project(s) at hand, there is never any talk about preparing ourselves for the day we can no longer rely on these natural resources. Because we have enough to last our lifetimes and probably even enough for a few generations, it’s human nature to perhaps think about it but do nothing. Our entire society relies on oil. Everything from the obvious of filling our tanks to thousands of everyday materials have an oil component to them. Right now, a world without oil is incomprehensible. However, we all know that day will come … particularly if we continue to consume oil at the rate we currently are. Missing from the debate, and this has to happen at the federal level, is any discussion of how we can prepare ourselves, or more importantly generations to come, for a world that does not rely so heavily on oil. Clark wants to grab more of those trillions of dollars the oil and gas industry will generate, so does Prime Minister Stephen Harper, and rightly so. But we hear nothing from either of them suggesting that the money our governments receive for allowing private companies to profit greatly off this country’s natural resources will be targeted specifically for research into reducing our dependency on oil. There is a mindset that we are not going to rid ourselves of our dependency on oil any time soon, so we might as well develop the oil sands and ship as much oil abroad as we can. With the amount of money that oil and gas generates, for everyone involved, there is a real opportunity to use that money to prepare us for the day that oil is no longer readily available.

Fight for freedom a family affair

Editor: “Beware the fanatic.” This first sentence of Victor Bowman’s last regular commentary began to illuminate again the memories of my entrepreneurial aunt. Mr. Bowman’s interesting opinion on our Canadian freedoms and our obligations of how to keep them well and alive compelled me to read this article more than once. Having a feeling of being encouraged by Mr. Bowman that he was willing to agree with my potential disagreement, if I had one, I started searching for it on the different levels of my thinking, but I could not find any. I noticed that I began to agree with the lines of his opinion. However, not to look totally “sheepish” I tried to find some perhaps more “clerical” principles that would possibly introduce some disagreement, but I could not find them either. So, besides my agreement, despite my efforts to disagree, this article brought the memories of my aunt and her struggle with the fanatics (not just one) that run in parallel with Mr. Bowman’s opinion. My aunt was a great and knowledgeable lady who had taught me a similar phrase to one that Mr. Bowman taught me. The phrase she had taught me was in Latin but it has been popular enough to be recognized by the vast majority of our population. It is “caveat emptor” and it includes also the work “beware” but in Latin. Though many fanatics tried to push my aunt down in an effort to make her accept the so-called second-class citizenship, she said to herself something similar to “no way Jose” after saying (I am sure) “caveat emptor” and just pulled up her sleeves higher, getting ready for more work. No, her name was not Rosa Parks, though it was south too but not so deep. Coming to the state of West Virginia before I was born, my aunt

rather quickly became aware of some fanatics. Eventually, this great lady and her husband established a factory manufacturing electric components for the big trucks, hauling containers with different merchandise across the country. Both of them became first owners of this successful business. Though she had some tough times that made her contemplate an abortion, she decided not to do it and not in response to some fanatics that would tell her what to do with her body but because it was her choice and her expression of who she really was: A very tough lady, one of the original “steel magnolias.” Before she came to the United States, she was forced to leave the country of her origin when the huge Soviet empire invaded this small land. I think that her father was already acknowledged in Encyclopaedia Lithuanica before this happened. You are familiar with Encyclopaedia Brittannica, but this small country has its own as well. Richard was her father’s name, Chris was middle, and it was preceded with another (abbreviated) name of Dr., which is an academic title, but is it only? When my good acquaintance said to me, over and over again, “you are darned right,” it made me ponder about possible multiple dimensions of this seemingly simple expression, darned right, or d.r. for short but without the capital letter of an academic distinction and with periods. Was he unconsciously saying something? “No way.” This would only add quite an extra load to my already very heavy and disabled shoulders. I’d rather keep Mr. Bowman’s suggestion from his excellent column and go no farther exploring the possible multiple dimensions of “d.r.” Chris Trumpowski Prince George

Our goal is to ensure that every home in B.C. has a working smoke alarm. Also, make sure to test your alarms regularly; a simple way to remember to do this is by testing them at the same time as we adjust our clocks in the fall and spring. This will ensure you get the warning your family needs in the event of a fire. Second, make a home escape plan. Fire can move very quickly, without leaving you very much time to think.

Don’t leave the kitchen when you’re cooking, get rid of electrical hazards like overloaded circuits and octopus wiring, don’t use extension cords as permanent wiring, and use power bars with circuit breakers. Small changes like this can make a world of difference when it comes to fire prevention. Let’s all do our part this week to plan ahead and reduce the injuries and deaths caused by residential fires. As we celebrate Fire Prevention Week, I also want to say thank you to our firefighters, both volunteer and professional, for working so hard to keep our communities safe. You are appreciated!

Halloween hauntings planned

We have a plan in place for Halloween. It’s kind of funny because our three male friends are all alpha-dogs, all extraordinarily independent, all stubborn as heck and all hate to lose (and never admit to losing) at anything. Most other males are pretty well intimidated by just one look from Life in them. the fat But, bring on a few young ladies, and lane those three guys turn DELYNDAPILON into plain old mush. As I’ve told you before, our little Kat can groom them, boss them and send them away pouting with their alpha-dog tails firmly clasped between their knees with just one annoyed look. My new daughter (new as in new to me, but not new to the world since she is 15), Vicky, seems to be following firmly in Kat’s footsteps, particularly with Merle. Vicky has the cutest little lisp you ever heard, and sometimes Merle will ask her questions just to make her repeat particularly hard words. Then, when he’s heard them three or four times he’ll giggle like a school girl and give her a big hug. Vicky is pretty good about the whole thing though every once in a while I get a big punch on the shoulder for it. Why do I get the punch you ask? I have no idea, actually. But for some reason, if someone embarrasses her or annoys her, she’ll stomp half-way across Prince George just so she can punch me in the shoulder. Anyway, back to Halloween. It all started when Darby said Kat was too old to trick and treat. Kat looked sad. Vicky (a bit older than Kat) looked sad. The boys erupted in defence of the girls. Kris: Too old? She’s not too old. Why, I’d go trick and treating right now if I could. A wicked gleam lit Kat’s eyes. She looked at Vicky, and her eyes lit up as well. Vicky: Would you go trick and treating if you could, Merle? Merle: (Who was engrossed staring at photos on his phone - as usual) Course I would. The Girls: We’re going to be pimps and you are going to be our girls!! Kris: Huh? Merle: What? Vicky and Kat, taking turns: You can shave your beards. And wear make-up. And hair extensions. And I’ll do your nails. And you can have fishnet stockings. And mini-skirts. And... Merle and Kris’s expressions twisted between humour and horror, but considering the effect two six foot plus muscular all men males would have on the community if they dressed up as ladies of the evening obviously appealed to their absurd sense of humours. So now they have decided that Jack will have to take off his cowboy hat this Halloween and put on a wig, hopefully a red one just for Kris. Then the three of them will walk the neighbourhood, all decked out, escorting the girls (who are looking for purple velvet coats) around, gathering candy. If they knock on your door, you might want to put an extra bit of candy in their bags. I’m not sure how they’re going to be walking after a few blocks of stiletto heels, but I bet it will cause more blisters and bow-legged limping than riding horses.

No cold feet for Maurer’s study Q UNBC STUDENT

ALLAN WISHART

allanw@pgfreepress.com

Lyssa Maurer has a very cool job. She studies glaciers. She started as an undergraduate student at UNBC and is continuing her work on the timeline of the big sheets of ice for a Master’s. “I was taking a couple of classes in geography, one of them with Brian Menounos. I read a paper about glaciers, went to him and said it sounded interesting. “Then I basically said, ‘I need a summer job and I’m going to work for you on this project’.” She got a taste of the work right away. “My first day, I went by helicopter to the Castle Creek Glacier (near McBride) and got right into the field work, took some core samples, brought them back to the school to work on. It’s been a really good experience.” And the work she and the rest of the team have done has filled in some of the gaps in glacier knowledge. Maurer explains how the timeline now seems to look. “After the last great Ice Age, glaciers receded to a minimum level. Then about 10,000 years ago, what we call the Holocene Period, they started to expand. “They had been slowly advancing, then retreating, then advancing again, but in general they were advancing up until the last couple of hundred years.” That period marked the end of what is called the Little Ice Age, when glaciers reached their maximum size. Scientists knew that much. What they didn’t know were a lot of the details from the beginning of the Holocene to the

UNBC graduate student Lyssa Maurer stands on the Stoppani Glacier in Patagonia in South America. The area was chosen for her work because it is almost as far south of the Equator as Prince George is north. Ph o to s ub mitte d

end of the Little Ice Age. “What we found,” Maurer says, “is that about 1,600 years ago, glaciers had expanded almost as far as they did at the end of the Little Ice Age. That was a bit of a surprise.” Maurer’s work, with co-authors from UNBC, the University of Western Ontario, the University of Calgary, Simon Fraser University, the Geological Survey of Canada and the Alberta Geological Survey, was published recently in Quaternary Science Reviews, a leading international peer-reviewed journal. Menounos, a geography professor at UNBC, says Maurer’s work points out the importance of applied research. “This study is a great example of the value of collaborative research,” he said in a press

release. “It also highlights the mutually beneficial relationship that can exist between undergraduate students and science. “Engaging in hands-on research is often the catalyst for students to consider careers in science. Many university professors involve students in all aspects of research, from initial planning to publishing results of a study, and science would simply grind to a halt without the active involvement of undergraduate and graduate students alike.” Maurer says knowing the history of glaciers is important for us today. “Glaciers right now are melting, but we don’t really know why. We know they have melted before and we are trying to determine what may have caused

those earlier melts. “If we can’t match the fluctuations in glacier growth to the normal drivers, then we have to look at other factors.” While her undergraduate work saw her focus on glaciers in the region, her new work has taken her farther afield. “It’s still the same methodology, but now we’re using it on glaciers in the Southern Hemisphere. Their patterns should be the opposite of the north, but we need to make the direct comparisons. We use the methodology we used here at UNBC.” The choice of glaciers to study was also taken carefully. “Stopanni Glacier, in Patagonia, is almost as far south of the equator as Prince George is north, so it offers us a very direct comparison.”

In the past when I took time off, I could never resist the temptation to “check in” and see how things are going. And to my great surprise – I found out that my co-workers managed to get the paper out just fine without me – well, except for Mr. Wishart who filled my spot ... and another spot ... and another. To make sense of this,

Do you want to be a man who makes a difference?

Modern man is in trouble – stressed, confused, and pressured. The workplace is changing. The culture is changing. The acceptable roles of men and women are changing. And the modern man, caught in the middle of it, often feels a complete failure.

What should a man be and do? What should de¿ne him? What should be the goal of his life? How should he spend his time? His money? His energy? How should he relate to his wife? To his kids? To other men?

“The Man Who Makes A Difference” is a Bible study that provides stirring answers to these questions by turning to Paul’s letter to the Ephesians. In reading and studying this wonderful text, we hear God speak to us and tell us how to live as Christian men in all our different relationships. From Friday, November 2nd to December 7th , join us for a seven-week course that can help you become a man who makes a difference. To reserve your spot, please call or e-mail Pastor Jim: (250) 562-9542 pastorjim@pgchurch.ca www.pgchurch.ca “The Man Who Makes A Difference” is a free community service presented by the Canadian Reformed Church’s Prince George Mission.

HIV is a real concern within our communities. You can contract HIV primarily through unprotected sex and by sharing needles. HIV can live in your body for years without you knowing and all the while you can be passing it to others. At least 25 per cent of people who are HIV+ do not know and these 25 per cent are estimated to be responsible for 75 per cent of new infections. Northern Health, in collaboration with its community partners, is working with the Province of BC to prevent the spread of HIV by expanding HIV testing, treatment, and support services to British Columbians.

Young actors needed by TNW Theatre North West is holding auditions in mid-October for two young actors to perform in an upcoming production of Privilege by Paul Weitz. Privilege is a heartfelt comedy about how sometimes, even when you lose it all, you win. Two boys between 10 and 15 years old will be chosen to share the role of Charlie, one of the play’s main characters. “The actors must be believable as 12 to 13-year-olds. This role represents a very special opportunity for two local young people to work alongside actors from across Canada in a professional theatre production,” said Ted Price, the show’s director, who is also founding artistic director of TNW. Registration forms and information sheets are available at Books and Company. Completed forms must be submitted no later than Oct. 27. Rehearsals begin on January 18, 2013.

Chili cookoff heats up downtown today Prince George - Community - Free Press

www.pgfreepress.com

Fifth Avenue will be warmer than usual today, Oct. 12, as the first annual Smokin’ Chili Cookoff takes over the street. Eleven teams of local businesses, mainly from the 1200 block of Fifth Avenue, will be participating

in the fun challenge. Everyone is invited out to participate. For $5, you get samples of all the competitor’s dishes, voting rights, and a big bowl of your favourite chili. Team Powerhouse Realty is spearheading the fundraiser, backed

by Northern BC Tourism, P.G. Citizen, Wolf 97 FM, and other neighbors. “We’re excited about it – it will be a lot of fun, and benefits a good cause,” said Barbara Robin of Team Powerhouse Realty. “It’s guaranteed to be

a good time! And the proceeds benefit Habitat for Humanity and the rebuilding of Ness Lake Bible Camp’s gym.” “We love the idea – getting people out of the office on a Friday, having a friendly competition with

Pipeline art sought for Two Rivers show

Pipeline: is it a lifeline, an economic dynamo or a disaster waiting to happen? Will it revitalize the province or does it pose an unacceptable risk to the environment? Is it a good initiative, a bad one, or rather than a black and white issue, is it simply grey? The pipeline is one of the most polarizing topics of conversation and it has expanded to include critiques around environmental policy, review processes and accusations of radicalism. Two Rivers Gallery is interested in exploring this contentious subject. Whether you are an artist whose work expresses a supportive, critical or neutral perspective, the gallery invites responses to this call for submissions with up to six artworks produced within the last three years. The exhibit Pipeline will run from April 11 to July 7, 2013. Artists whose work is selected will receive an exhibition fee. Submissions must be received no later than 4 p.m. on Feb. 8, 2013. For more

Q B.C. HOCKEY LEAGUE

Battle of Kings tonight at the Coliseum ALISTAIR MCINNIS

sports@pgfreepress.com

Members of the Prince George Spruce Kings may have a lot to be thankful for away from the rink. But on the ice, recent B.C. Hockey League results haven’t gone the way they’d prefer. They knew playing six consecutive road games over two weekends wouldn’t be easy. After recording one win and two losses in the southern interior from Sept. 28 to 30, they posted an identical 1-2 record on Thanksgiving long weekend in the Lower Mainland. Despite the slide, the Spruce Kings have 12 points with five wins, four losses, one tie and one overtime defeat (5-4-1-1). They’re right in the thick of things in the five-team Mainland Division. This weekend the Spruce Kings are back in familiar territory, hosting the Powell River Kings this evening and Surrey Eagles on Saturday. Each contest is slated for 7 p.m. at the Coliseum. One of the top BCHL teams over the past few years, Powell River has struggled early this season, injuries contributing to a slower start. Third in the five-team Island Division, they sport a record of 4-6-0-2 entering tonight’s game. “Not sure if they’re going to come up here with their full team or if they’re going to come up here a little bit shorthanded so we’ll see,” Spruce Kings head coach Dave Dupas said on Wednesday. “If we get their full team, they’ll be a handful.” The Eagles will be hungry to take down the hosts this weekend since they lost 4-1 to the

Spruce Kings in Surrey on Friday. The Spruce Kings followed that game with a pair of onegoal losses to the Langley Rivermen, 3-2 on Saturday and 4-3 on Sunday. The Spruce Kings left the ice on Sunday stunned, Langley forward Austin Azurdia recording the winner with under a second left. Dupas described it as if the scorer was the only skater who moved on the play. “Their whole team stopped. We shot the puck in with about 15 seconds left and we kind of go in there slowly on the forecheck, and their whole team just kind of gave up. Our whole team gave up and then one guy gets the puck and he just goes end to end,” Dupas said. “Everybody was kind of standing there looking at him thinking the game was over, and obviously he put a great move on our defenceman and then he went bar down with 0.3 seconds left. Guys have to know that it’s not over until the buzzer rings and it was an unfortunate thing to happen, but we have to learn from it.” The Spruce Kings entered the six-game road stretch with a 3-0-1-1 record, tied in points with the Coquitlam Express atop the division. With a 2-4 mark since then, they’ve slipped one point behind the Express (6-3-10). Although they were tied with the Chilliwack Chiefs (5-2-1-1) for second in points, the Spruce Kings needed two more games to reach the 12-point total. The Chiefs and Langley Rivermen played in Chilliwack on Wednesday evening. Results were unavailable at press time. The Rivermen (5-2-0-1) had 11 points entering that game, tied with the Eagles, who round out the Mainland Division.

NOTES:

Schedule – Fewer games don’t translate into wins, but the Spruce Kings will get relief with a lighter schedule over the next month. They won’t see another three-game weekend until Nov. 16 to 18, another southern interior trip involving three games in as many days. On Oct. 20 in Coquitlam, the Spruce Kings will see the Express for the first time this season. A game at Langley on Oct. 19 will open the two-game Mainland set. New forward – Twenty-year-old forward Shayne Morrissey, a St. John’s, Nfld. product, had his first Coliseum practice session with the Spruce Kings this week. The Spruce Kings announced on Oct. 2 that they acquired Morrissey from the Carleton Place Canadians of the Central Canada Hockey League, the Canadians receiving 1994-born forward Alec Butcher and future considerations in return. Morrisey arrived in Prince George last Wednesday evening and travelled with the squad on Thursday to join them for their Lower Mainland swing. He was held off the scoresheet in the three games. “He must’ve been nervous, tired, everything so we’re expecting a lot out of him,” Dupas said. Injuries – Rookie forward Tanner Fjellstrom has yet to see action this regular season as he’s battled back from an ankle injury. He returned to practice this week, but Dupas is proceeding with caution, noting he may not be in the lineup this weekend. Two forwards who were nursing minor injuries, Lyndon Martell (upper body) and Tyson Witala (ankle), are expected to be in the lineup this weekend.

Q MAJOR MIDGET HOCKEY

Cats try to downsize Giants ALISTAIR MCINNIS

sports@pgfreepress.com

They met in the league finals in each of the last three seasons. They’re a combined 10-0 so far this BC Hockey Major Midget League campaign. Since the Cariboo Cougars (6-0) and Vancouver North West Giants (4-0) go head-to-head in a doubleheader this weekend, something will have to give. Against the Giants, the Cougars have ended up on the wrong end of the scoreboard more often than not. Having finished runner-up to the Vancouver squad in each of the last three Major Midget seasons, they hope to turn the tide in the 2012-13 campaign. Although the season is young, two wins this weekend would provide a major boost for the Cougars in their efforts to try and capture their first provincial banner since 2008. “We’re on the ice four times this week so we’ll see if they’re actually chomping at the bit to want to play the Giants and play at their level of being the best team in British Columbia for MML for the last three or four years,” Cariboo head coach

Trevor Sprague said on Tuesday. “I guess the question is more answered by how the players practice this week and how we go into the weekend and how prepared we are not to have any excuses and win a hockey game.” Look at their record in recent seasons, and it’s no wonder the Giants are considered the team to beat by their opposition, offering a measure of what it takes to be successful. That noted, they also benefit from playing in the most heavily populated draw zone. Their region includes North Vancouver, West Vancouver and Burnaby, home to a few of the most competitive minor hockey rep programs in the country. Regardless, Sprague is looking forward to the challenge. This two-game set this weekend is part of the Showcase Weekend at the Langley Events Centre. All five league doubleheaders will unfold in the same arena, the only team not involved being the North Island Silvertips, who are on a bye weekend. A Showcase means a lot of scouts will be watching, giving players the opportunity to connect with junior hockey teams early in the season. The Cougars and Giants are scheduled to play Saturday at 11:45 a.m. and Sunday at 9 a.m. Sprague is looking forward to the challenge. “I love playing in that environment because it holds guys accountable on who’s ready to play and who’s not, and who’s about the team and who’s not about the team. That comes out.” The Cougars are coming off a two-game sweep over the Vancouver North East Chiefs at CN Centre, wins of 4-0 on Saturday and 5-4 on Sunday. In the second game, forward Brad Morrison scored the game winner with 22 seconds remaining. Second-year goalie Nathan Warren recorded the shutout between the pipes on Saturday, with rookie Jeremy Matte recording the win in net on Sunday. “I think the forwards did a great job with their back checking and created a lot of back pressure on what the Chiefs were doing with the puck,” Sprague said. Two injured defencemen, Kenny Nordstrom (back) and Zack Smith (shoulder) won’t be in the Cougars lineup this weekend. They’ve added affiliate Jordan Low from the Midget Tier 1 Cougars for the weekend set. After this weekend, the Cougars will return home for a CN Centre doubleheader against the Kootenay Ice on Oct. 20 and 21.

Q CANADA WEST SOCCER

Timberwolves wrap up inaugural season on the road ALISTAIR MCINNIS

sports@pgfreepress.com

The UNBC women’s soccer team won’t grab a lot of attention this weekend in the Lower Mainland. Playing against a pair of established programs, the Trinity Western Spartans and UBC Thunderbirds, it’ll come pretty obvious to spectators that the Prince Georgebased Timberwolves are the visitors. The Timberwolves will have a cheering section, not only supporters who travelled from north-central B.C. Rookie striker Sidney Roy, who’s scored five of the team’s six goals this season, hails from Burnaby. She had to wait until the final weekend of the Timberwolves’ inaugural Canada West season for her first homecoming. “I get to see all of my friends, all of my family and I’m hopefully going to have a big UNBC fan base out to the games,” Roy said on Sunday, minutes after they tied the Lethbridge Pronghorns 2-2 at the North Cariboo Fields. Although Prince George is an eighthour drive from Burnaby, that hasn’t

stopped Roy’s parents from showing their support. Father Craig and mother Lisa made the trek north to celebrate Thanksgiving on the weekend with their daughter, raised as an only child. They took in the Timberwolves’ weekend games, Saturday against the Calgary Dinos and Sunday against the Pronghorns. Craig and Lisa surprised Roy the previous weekend with a trip to Alberta, when the Timberwolves met the Mount Royal University Cougars in Calgary and Alberta Pandas in Edmonton. The support hasn’t only come off the pitch. Although Roy gets a lot of credit for leading UNBC offensively, she’s enjoyed working with playmaker Sydney Wilson, a second-year forward from Prince George. Wilson assisted on both of Roy’s secondhalf goals in their come-from-behind tie against Lethbridge. “Mine and her chemistry has just come so far since the beginning and it’ll just keep coming I know,” Roy said. “Next year it’s going to be way better because we can work together the whole offseason because that’s the

most important thing obviously is knowing what each other is going to do. We’re getting there and obviously two balls from her today proved it, we’re getting there.” At 0-7-3, the Timberwolves are ahead of only the Winnipeg Wesmen (0-7-1) in the 13-team Canada West Universities Athletic Association women’s soccer division. They’re scheduled to play the Spartans this evening and Thunderbirds on Saturday, both contests beginning at 5 p.m. Trinity Western leads the standings at 8-1, while UBC is third at 6-1-2. “Obviously they’re two good schools, they’re deep on their bench,” Timberwolves head coach Andy Cameron said. “They’ll be able to play and they’ll be able to play in different ways, different tactics so we’ll

record their first point in Canada West. A pair of losses to the UBC Thunderbirds on the weekend dropped UNBC’s record to 0-10. The Timberwolves

wrap up their home soccer schedule this weekend. They host the Fraser Valley Cascades (1-3-4) in a doubleheader on Saturday and Sunday at the North Cariboo Fields.

They finish their season on the road the following weekend, playing against the Mount Royal Cougars in Calgary on Oct. 20 and the Winnipeg Wesmen on Oct. 21.

Condors soar to boys volleyball title The Duchess Park Condors soared to the top at the Jon Bragg Memorial senior boys volleyball tournament. The Condors finished 8-0 overall in the 12-team event, held at College Heights Secondary last Thursday to Saturday. Each victory was a 2-0 straight-set triumph. In the best-of-three championship match Saturday evening, the Condors defeated the host College Heights Cougars 25-12 and 25-20. In the semifinal round, The Condors downed the North Peace Ookapiks of Fort St. John 2-0 (25-15, 25-20) while the Cougars defeated the Bulkley Valley

The Proposed Coastal GasLink Pipeline Project

Coastal GasLink Pipeline Ltd. is proposing to develop an approximately 700 kilometre provincially regulated pipeline to safely deliver natural gas from the Groundbirch area, near Dawson Creek, B.C., to the LNG Canada gas liquefaction facility proposed to be developed by Shell Canada Ltd. and its partners near Kitimat, B.C. Coastal GasLink Pipeline Ltd. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of TransCanada PipeLines Limited. Over the coming months, Coastal GasLink will undertake extensive engineering and environmental studies as well as engage with stakeholders and Aboriginal communities near the conceptual route to share information, gather input, and incorporate feedback to inform our project development and design.

The final pipeline route will be determined by considering Aboriginal and community input, environmental and social aspects, archaeological and cultural values, land use, public safety, constructability and economics.

Investments in local communities: we invest in the areas of wellness, safety and environment in the locations where our employees live and where we operate our assets. Through our engagement with local communities we will identify areas where we can help build stronger, vibrant communities through initiatives such as job training and community partnerships.

The proposed Coastal GasLink pipeline will offer significant economic benefits and strengthen the economy on a local, provincial and national level:

Join us for our first Coastal GasLink Pipeline Project Community Information Session

Well-paying and high-quality jobs: pipeline construction will create jobs such as equipment operators, welders, mechanics, truck drivers, labourers and more. Business opportunities: pipeline construction creates significant demand for food and accommodation, hardware, industrial parts, automotive parts and servicing, fuel and more. Millions of dollars in annual taxes to local governments: when the Coastal GasLink pipeline is operational, approximately $17 million dollars in annual tax payments will help support emergency services, recreation facilities, recycling programs and other local programs vital to sustaining communities.

Project representatives will be available throughout the session to answer questions and share information. Light refreshments will be provided. Bear Lake Date: Thursday 18 October, 2012 Time: 4:30 p.m. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 8:00 p.m. Location: Bear Lake Community Hall 461 Hart Lake Road Bear Lake, BC

Oakland A’s a feel good story in Major League Baseball

Money doesn’t necessarily buy happiness; Cabrera for MVP and the wacky one-game wild card. With this in mind, brace yourself for my swing on Major League Baseball. The majority of people can identify with the Oakland A’s, the little guy that just goes about business with little fanfare or respect. The A’s were 100-1 long shots to win the AL West at the all-star break. They started the season 26-35 and trailed Texas by 13 games on June 30 and by five with nine to play, yet finished first with a 94-68 record, going 68-33 in their final 101 games. The baby face, no name money ball A’s not only won their division but did so

In a continued effort to encourage higher rates of recovery, BCUOMA has built a strong support network across the province. Today, participation includes 209 brand-owner members, 39 collectors and processors, 520+ return collection facilities and more than 4,000 generators. In addition, BCUOMA is reprising its successful ambassador program this summer – with two ambassadors touring the province to educate and raise awareness of the importance of used oil and antifreeze recycling.

Although it’s commonly accepted that oil and antifreeze are not household garbage we can simply throw out, more than one million litres of used oil ends up in BC landfills every year. When you consider that it only takes one drop of oil to contaminate a million drops of water, the problem is clear: there’s just too many drops to count, too many to ignore. BCUOMA is a non-for-profit organization that encourages British Columbians to responsibly recycle used oil, oil filters, oil containers, used antifreeze and antifreeze containers. Since the launch of the program in 2003, British Columbians have done an exceptional job of recycling their used oil materials.

Protecting our province from the harmful effects of used oil and antifreeze must be a responsibility we all share, together. So please, next time you look to dispose of used oil or antifreeze materials, find a collection facility near you. Here are three easy ways to do so:

Cabrera helped his team to the playoffs while Trout did not. Cabrera had the best batting average .330, the most home runs with 44, the most RBI’s with 139 and finished with 13 errors, a .966 fielding percentage and four stolen bases in 161 games. The 21-year-old Trout batted .326 with 30 homers and 83 RBI’s in 22 less games (total of 139). He also had a splendid .988 fielding percentage with just four errors and ran like the wind with 49 stolen bases. Granted, Trout is the better allaround player and is the obvious rookie of the year, but Cabrera’s bat was so dominating it overrides the

By recycling your used oil and antifreeze products, you’re playing an important role in preserving our environment for future generations. As of July 1, 2011 antifreeze and antifreeze containers have been included within the broader recycling program. From the 10 million litres of automotive antifreeze sold in BC each year, about 45% will be available for collection and recycling. Please check for a collection facility near you.

(Note: Melvin and Buck Showalter of the Orioles actually deserve to share this award) ••• I realize some fans find it difficult to understand the logic in playing 162 games and then having a one-game wildcard playoff to determine who advances to the best-offive division series. The one wild card game should technically be called a play-in game rather than a true playoff game, but semantics aside, the Braves and Rangers only have themselves to blame for their quick exit. Yes, Atlanta was shafted with an awful infield fly call in the eighth inning of the 6-3 loss to St. Louis, but the Braves were beaten because of three crucial infield errors and they failed to respond to the pressure of playing before the home crowd. Texas gets less sympathy as they choked at the end, losing that entire three-game series at Oakland that cost them the division and went further in the tank losing at home to Baltimore 5-1 in an elimination game. Major League Baseball accomplished its goal of adding a total of two playoff teams and placing more emphasis on winning the division. The Braves and Rangers did not win their division and paid the price. Sure, some tinkering with the playoff format can be looked at, but fans are interacting about the game and whether that discussion is positive, negative or neutral, the most important aspect is that baseball is indeed relevant.

Deadline near for dream home tickets Prince George - Sports - Free Press

www.pgfreepress.com
