KITIMAT - Despite reports from Rio Tinto Alcan to the contrary, the business agent for a B.C. carpenter’s union says that, at least for their craft, there are more than enough local workers to fill demand.

Rio Tinto Alcan, on their job website kmpjobs.com, state carpenters are on their list of skills that are facing a “critical shortage� for the project.

Yet Ken Lippett, business agent for the Construction Maintenance and Allied Workers Union, which has Locals in Kitimat and Prince Rupert, said he was staring down a stack six inches thick of resumes as he spoke to a journalist. “I don’t know where they’re getting their numbers from but definitely not in consultation with us,� he said.

He said in March their union had a peak of 120 workers on site in Kitimat for the modernization, a number that is now at 70, meaning there is still a supply of ready carpenters. “From our perspective there is no shortage at all in the carpentry trade,� he said.

Lippett said he has heard of a lot of turnover from other unions on the project which may attribute to the need for workers.

However even the Northwest Community College, he said, have been “spitting [carpenters] out like sausages for years.�

And that stack of resumes he mentioned is filled with people who would be qualified to work on the site. “These are first, second and third year apprentices who are desperate to continue their apprenticeship.�

Even if the local area couldn’t supply the carpenters — an area he refers to as basically west of Prince George — he said that a supply could be gathered from the province.

Only one major project is peaking its construction right now, a dam project in Trail, he said, so in a month’s time there could be 50 people back on the books, waiting to go back to work. He said claims by the federal government that a work shortage is coming is simply not true from his perspective. “It’s all the federal government just crying alarm that there’s this huge looming skills shortage. Well it’s just not the case on the ground,� he said. “There isn’t a massive pool of people but it’s far from a shortage.�

Poll shows support for Kitimat refinery as attempts continue to find investors

By Tom Fletcher THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

VICTORIA - Kitimat Clean Ltd. has applied for environmental assessment of a proposed oil refinery, after commissioning a poll that found nearly three out of four B.C. residents support the idea.

A province-wide phone survey conducted during September found 78 per cent of respondents were aware of the proposal to build a large refinery at Kitimat to process Alberta heavy crude oil.

Provincially, 72 per cent either favoured or were “somewhat supportive” of the proposed

$13 billion refinery, which would ship gasoline, diesel and aviation fuel to market rather than tankers of diluted bitumen.

Kitimat Clean president David Black said he was pleasantly surprised that so many people have heard of the refinery proposal, and that most support the idea.

“Obviously the concept has struck a chord with the public,” he said.

Black remains chairman of Black Press Ltd., and formed Kitimat Clean as a separate company to pursue the refinery project. He is financing the provincial environmental assessment for it, which he ex-

pects to take two years and cost several million dollars.

Black first proposed the refinery to the B.C. government seven years ago as chairman of the B.C. Progress Board, an advisory panel set up to examine economic and social development of the province. His interest was renewed when Enbridge Inc. applied for federal approval to build the Northern Gateway pipeline from northern Alberta’s oil sands to a new tanker port at Kitimat.

The Enbridge project has met strong opposition from communities, aboriginal groups and environmentalists,

much of it based on the threat of a tanker spill on B.C.’s North Coast.

Black argues that a refinery not only reduces the spill risk, it means 6,000 construction jobs and 3,000 permanent employees to run it.

Since he announced the Kitimat Clean project in August, Black said he has been contacted

by Korean and Chinese people looking for more information. Earlier discussions with Enbridge and other Canadian oil companies did not produce financial support to reverse a decades-long decline in B.C. refinery capacity.

In the meantime, Black also played host

Sept. 25 to interested municipal politicians and others in Victoria in order to boost interest in his project.

Municipal politicians and others were in the provincial capital for the annual Union of BC Municipalities convention.

The poll was conducted by non-editorial Black Press staff during September. It gathered 1,400 responses from the Cariboo, Kootenay, Northern B.C., Lower Mainland, ThompsonOkanagan and Vancouver Island regions. The margin of error is estimated to be plus or minus 2.62 per cent, 19 times out of 20.

Terminal may train its own apprentices flying fish

By Alan S, Hale

THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT Ridley Terminals wants to see more of Prince Rupert’s young people receive their trades training and their apprenticeship in the community so that they will stay once they are ready for a permanent job.

The president of Ridley Terminals, George Dorsey, and the president of the ILWU Local 523, Andy Vandermeer, came to City Hall last Monday to tell council about their intentions.

“We want to find a way so that the next 18-year-old [that graduates] can see a path to trades and high paying jobs locally because there is a high probability that those jobs will exist five years from now and I don’t think we will be prepared if we don’t start that process now,” said Dorsey.

Dorsey and Vandermeer say the expansion and railway corridor projects underway on Ridley Island will mean new trade jobs in the coming years. The issue is that not only do young people need access to the training, they need

on-the-job experience.

“It’s easy enough to go out and get a course, but you have to get some experience, no one wants to hire a kid who has just taken a course, they want some experience as well,” said Vandermeer.

To make sure young people get that experience, Ridley Terminals wants to increase the number of apprenticeship opportunities in town, but they aren’t sure yet how they would do that.

It’s up to individual businesses to decide how many apprentices they want to take on. For its part, Ridley says they will be increasing their number of apprentices.

“We’re hoping that other companies will follow suit,” Michelle Bryant, Ridley Terminal’s director of Corporate Affairs, who has been working on the apprenticeship issue, said.

There’s one big obstacle though: the collective agreement with their union. Under that agreement, all apprenticeships at Ridley Terminals must be offered to union members first, and only what is left over can be offered to young

According to the union’s president, there are so many union members who would want to retrain for a trades job that the young people fresh out of school might never get a Ridley Terminals apprenticeship at all.

“The only way I see [young people] getting on-site is if they offer an awful lot of apprenticeships and only a few of our members want them.

I don’t think they’re go-

ing to do that because George [Dorsey] doesn’t want to lose too many of his [equipment] operators,” said Vandermeer.

Bryant said that the company wants to negotiate an agreement with the union that would allow them to get around that rule.

“We’re definitely trying to work with them to open doors for opportunities, but until there’s something written into the collective agreement or a memorandum of un-

derstanding we’re a little bit stuck,” she said.

For the moment Ridley is setting its sights on local trades training instead. The company is hoping to get other local industries to a discussion next month to figure out how many trained tradesmen they’re going to need in the next several years, and in what specialties.

When they have that figured out, they’ll give the information to educators like NWCC.

Port donates $25,000 to racquet club Contributed THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - The Prince Rupert Port Authority has announced that the Prince Rupert Racquet Association will benefit from a contribution made through its Community Investment Fund.

The Port Authority is donating a total of $25,000 to help fund the Racquet Association’s capital upgrade project, which includes improvements to the lighting, heating, hot water supply and exterior of their facility located adjacent to the Prince Rupert Centennial Golf Course Clubhouse. Given that the building and most of the mechanical systems within it are now over 30 years old, the survival of the Racquet Centre is dependent on its modernization.

Former Kitimatian releases book

By Cameron Orr THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

KITIMAT - A former Kitimat resident, and graduate of Mount Elizabeth Secondary School, has released her own book which features a selection of Portuguese poets and singers.

Maria Miranda Lawrence’s book, A Janela: The Poetic Soul (A Janela meaning “at the window�) was inspired after she was invited by the Azores gov-

ernment to participate in a cultural exchange in 2005.

After meeting with the many artists and writers in the program, she decided she wanted to explore further her Portuguese roots through the arts.

Cut to today and she has self-published an initial 250 run of books, which were produced with the assistance of her husband. “After my invitation to Portugal for this

program I just became really fascinated with the poetry,� she said.

Within the book are a number of paintings

by Maria, which coincide with profiles and the works of a number Portuguese writers and singers.

Her book project earned her a grant from the cultural department of the Azorean government to complete her book and to travel to Portugual to display it and her paint-

ings.

Lawrence currently lives in Victoria and is preparing for a launch concert in Victoria this month put on by singer Sara Marreiros, who is incidentally one of the artists featured in the

book.

The book is available for sale in Kitimat at the Kitimat Museum and Archives.

You can also read more about the book on her website, www.seriousart.ca.

Killer of murdered teenager identiďŹ ed THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

SURREY - The RCMP task force investigating murdered and missing women in BC announced today a breakthrough in the Highway of Tears case.

A DNA match from US citizen Bobby Jack Fowler has been linked to Colleen MacMillen, whose body was found near 100 Mile House in 1974, and RCMP today said they were able to state that Fowler is responsible for the murder of MacMillen.

Fowler, who died of natural causes in an Oregon prison in 2006, is

known to have worked in Prince George in 1974 for a company called Happy’s Roofing. Based on interviews with people who knew Fowler, RCMP say he was very transient, was known to like picking up female hitchhikers and has an extensive violent criminal history in a number of states in the US. RCMP also say Fowler held the belief that women who hitchhiked or frequented bars had a desire to be sexually assaulted, with living victims providing “very graphic and explicit� recounts of their interactions with Fowler.

Given the timing,

RCMP have eliminated Fowler as a suspect in eight of the 18 missing women cases, but say he remains a person of interest in the remaining cases and is strongly suspected in at least two other murders.

While RCMP have made a time line for the past 40 years of Fowler’s life based on discussions with the FBI, corrections facilities in the United States, cell mates and others, they are finding it challenging to track his movement and history in northern BC and are asking the public for help. “We believe that there are people who worked with him, em-

As for the other cases, RCMP say in some instances they have very strong “persons of interest� but are unable to release information.

PRINCE RUPERT - Environment Minister Terry Lake provided an update on the government response to the debris from the Japanese tsunami that has begun washing up on the shores of BC, and said the group responsible for handling it is getting set to move onto the next stage of planning.

Lake estimates that there is 1.5 million tonnes of debris floating in the pacific from the tsunami, though he expects only a small percentage to wash up in BC. Phase one had to do with formulating a response to the debris, now the provincial and federal government are looking at how to handle what has and will wash up.

“Phase II will focus on how to get rid of the stuff when it does wash up. We’re looking at options for landfills, recycling and disposal. This plan will be scaleable,” said Lake, noting the next phase also includes a framework for volunteer participation in the clean up efforts.

“We think [storage]

is more than manageable, but we don’t want to rely solely on the science...If it turns out this is larger than anticipated we want to be ready for that,” added Robin Brown with the Department of Fisheries and Oceans.

However, Lake said people should not expect that a complete clean up of the debris.

“Some of the areas this is washing up are remote or not accessible...

We have to manage our response to where we are not putting people at risk and we need to recognize that we won’t be in a position to pick up every piece of debris that washes up,” said Lake, noting that phase II also increases monitoring for potentially invasive species.

“It’s very important we don’t let that genie out of the bottle.”

As for who is responsible for the clean up and covering the cost of picking up and disposing of the debris, Lake said it is going to take a concerted effort from all levels of government and the people of the province.

“Nobody has the sole responsibility or ju-

It is going to take resources and effort from a range of groups,” he said, noting that the provincial and federal governments are trying to limit the cost to municipalities but that there would be some costs.

“We don’t expect [municipal governments] to bear the brunt of this. There is debris that washes up on a regular basis that they deal with, so we need to talk to them to see what the

New seismic data on the channel

By Cameron Orr THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

KITIMAT - Murray Minchin with the Douglas Channel Watch group updated council on the latest happenings relating to the Joint Review Panel (JRP) review of the proposed Northern Gateway Pipeline project.

Minchinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s subject this time was a letter from the Department of Justice seeking to submit new evidence to the review relating to seismic information in the Douglas Channel.

Studies on the waterway have revealed a new fault line and the discovery of historical submarine landslides.

The report is titled Submarine Slope Failures and Tsunami Hazard in Coastal British Columbia: Douglas Channel and Kitimat Arm, and was prepared by the Geological Survey of Canada.

The evidence of these two historical slides â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which occurred up to 10,000 years ago â&#x20AC;&#x201D; indicates a moved volume of material greater than that of a known

â&#x20AC;&#x153;slope failureâ&#x20AC;? that occurred in the Kitimat Arm in 1975, which generated a tsunami with waves 8.2 m high.

This new report is preliminary and more time is needed to gather more data, explained Minchin at council.

However he said new legislation may make timelines too constricted to get the work done.

Recently passed legislation called Bill C-38, â&#x20AC;&#x153;makes it unlikely that the Natural Resources Canada investigation of the seismic hazards in the Douglas Channel will be understood in time to make an informed decision.â&#x20AC;?

Minchin also referenced an earlier promise from Enbridge that seismic activity would influence their decision to build. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When Enbridge first came to Kitimat they said they would never build a pipeline in a seismically active area,â&#x20AC;? he said.

With this information presented, Minchin turned his attention to the council, asking them to attempt to influence the JRP to

allow this new evidence into the review.

He had no immediate reply to that question, but he also had two others: one, asking if any councillors had shares in Enbridge, and also what the liability is for the District of Kitimat relating to possible spills.

On the subject of liability, Minchin said that the District of Kitimat was the owner/operator of the private Port of Kitimat.

Mario Feldhoff countered that belief saying he believed the port was operated by individual shippers and that a single body did not manage the entirety of it in the way Minchin described.

Minchin replied that within Enbridgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proposal for the project Kitimat is mentioned, by the company, as the manager of the Port of Kitimat. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If not you then who?â&#x20AC;? he asked.

On the matter of shares in the company, Feldhoff said that financial liabilities and assets have to be reported by councillors and that such information is public.

Labour training coordinator hired for northwestern BC

By Staff Writer THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

TERRACE - A local group has been handed the task of better connecting local people with the anticipated thousands of jobs to be created by large industrial projects planned for the region.

The money comes from the provincial government through an effort started by BC Hydro when it examined not only the impact of its Northwest Transmission Line now under construction but of mines and other developments that could happen because of the line.

The hiring of the Skeena-Nass Centre for Innovation in Resource Economics (SNCIRE) sets the stage to determine what’s needed, where it’s needed and when it’s needed, says the chair of a committee first struck by BC Hydro to examine the employment implications of large scale industrialization.

“The point is there are big numbers being talked about in a relatively short period of time,” said Eulala Mills last week. “There’s going to be a lot of work going on. Our intention is to do everything possible so that the northwest can take advantage of this,” she said.

A study commissioned by the BC Hydro committee earlier this year estimated that anywhere from $8 billion to $25 billion will be spent on large projects in the next 10 years, requiring anywhere from 9,500 to 32,500 workers.

“The current labour

supply cannot meet the expected demand for skilled labour and without quick action, companies will be forced to import workers from other regions,” read a summary report prepared for the BC Hydro committee. Although focussed on the Northwest Transmission Line and what’s possible from its construction, the impact from a growing number of planned liquefied natural gas plants and pipelines is also being acknowledged.

“We’re now hearing numbers in the $60 billion range,” said Mills of what’s being contemplated for the region.

Mills emphasized that SNCIRE has not been hired to be a job trainer or be an employment agency.

Instead it is to make best efforts to match up skilled trades required by an industry, for example, with training programs that can provide those workers when they are needed.

“We’ll build it, but we won’t run it. Part of the job is to find out who will run it,” said Mills.

But specific and limited training programs might be offered to meet a specific need, she said.

“What we will have is money to fill in those gaps,” Mills continued.

Other projects being contemplated include targeted advertising campaigns to attract workers back who moved to other areas when, for example, the forest industry collapsed here. “This would be for people who have the skills that are needed and who have roots back in the community,” said

Opera’s here

By Staff Writer THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

TERRACE - Coast Mountains School District 82 is thrilled to host the Vancouver Opera in Schools presentation of Naomi’s Road based on the novel by Joy Kogawa. School performances are scheduled on October 2, 3 and 4, 2012 in Hazelton, Terrace, Kitimat and Stewart, and are limited to student participation due to venue capacity.

This touching, instructive opera, set during World War II tells the dramatic story of nine-year- old Naomi’s journey, with her Japanese Canadian family, from Vancouver to an internment camp in the interior of B.C. In a sensitive, visually evocative production filled with emotion, humour and soaring melodies, Naomi and her older brother Stephen struggle with the harshness of war, racism, bullying and loss.

TERRACE • PRINCE RUPERT • KITIMAT

Mills.

A gathering of employers and training program providers is being planned for next spring, too. The contract with SNCIRE will last until December 2013 after which time, Mills said,

the hope is that the work will continue on and be financed by other groups or companies.

The first phase of this northwest labour project, the establishment and work of the BC Hydro committee, cost just over

$200,000.

The province has now provided just over $500,000 for additional work, including the SNCIRE contract.

It’ll be paid an hourly rate.

Mills said more than

$400,000 of in-kind and other contributions is expected as the months go on to complement the provincial contribution. SNCIRE has hired a former local highways ministry manager to be its key official on the

project.

Don Ramsay spent 14 years as the manager of the local highways and infrastructure office and was briefly employed by the city earlier this year as its chief administrative officer.

By Cst. Matthew Ericson PRINCE RUPERT - On Sept. 24, 2012 at approximately 10:39 a.m. members of the Prince Rupert RCMP Detachment responded to a complaint of a break and enter in progress in the 600 Block of Fulton Street, Prince Rupert.

The complainant called police and reported that someone had broken into their home while they were present, and had just fled the scene. Upon arrival police spoke with the complainant and determined that the suspects in the matter were known to the victim and that some items had been stolen from the home.

“At this stage we have been able to identify the suspects involved, and have determined that this is an isolated and targeted incident,” stated Cst. Matt Ericson, spokesman for the Prince Rupert RCMP. “As the suspects had fled the area prior to police attendance we are appealing to the community for any additional information that may assist investigators.”

As this investigation is ongoing, the Prince Rupert RCMP is asking anyone that may have information regarding this incident to contact the Prince Rupert RCMP Detachment at 250-6270700 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

Please remember that Crime Stoppers pays cash for information that leads to an arrest. We don’t want your name, just your information.

Enbridge rep ďŹ elds questions from Rupert Chamber members

By Shaun Thomas THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - Enbridge Northern Gateway community and municipal relations manager Michele Perret was a guest last Wednesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Prince Rupert and District Chamber of Commerce luncheon, providing information on the project and fielding questions from those in attendance.

Before the question period Perret outlined the reasons the company was pursuing the project, including a need to find new markets for Canadian energy aside from the United States, and plans for the pipeline, which would run from Alberta to Kitimat and would largely be underground along the route. She also touched on the Joint Review Panel process that is underway and will return to Prince Rupert in November, stating that final arguments will take place next April and that the company expects a decision to be handed down by the end of 2013.

While the schedule marine safety specialist who was to present for Enbridge was delayed and missed the presentation, Perret touched on some aspects of the marine operation as well noting that all tankers would have two tugs running along the vessel on the way out to the open ocean and the speed would be capped at 10 to 12 knots for the ships.

In terms of benefits, Perret said that the company was target-

ing 15 per cent Aboriginal employment during the construction of the line and operation of the terminal, that approximately $318 million of the $800 million in procurement opportunities would be in northwestern BC and that 58 new jobs would be created at the Kitimat terminal.

When it came time to take questions, some of those addressing Perret voiced their concerns about a potential pipeline in the region. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am in support of a boom in the northwest, but I am not in favour of the oil spills that are being predicted,â&#x20AC;? said business owner Marc Page, who brought along quotes from Enbridge representatives saying they couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t guarantee there wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be a spill. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are business people and understand the economics and risk associated with having just one customer, but when you look at it this is about food and survival and that is why I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how you could advocate a project like this...Conceptually I agree with your project, but in reality it is ludicrous,â&#x20AC;? said Justine Crawford of Cassiar Cannery.

In response to concerns about spills on the land and in the water, Perret said the company was putting world class safety measures in place and was committed to addressing any spills faster that required by Canadian standards. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not proud of [the spill] in Michigan, and there are a lot of dif-

Chamber lists three priorities

By Shaun Thomas THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - During its first meeting following the summer break, Prince Rupert and District Chamber of Commerce president Jason Scherr outlined three strategic priorities for the group.

The first item agreed upon during a strategic planning meeting of the new board has to do with the impression people get when they land in the community.

The second issue was the look of the downtown core, which has seen some improvements with the series of murals and last summerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Paint Prince Rupert initiative.

The final priority for the Chamber has to do with attracting people from the northwest to town. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As a coastal town, Prince Rupert has advantages that others in the region donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have...We want to promote Prince Rupert as an eat, shop and play destination,â&#x20AC;? he said, noting that there is a section on the website to market Prince Rupert and plans are in place for a campaign to get people from Haida Gwaii to do Christmas shopping in Prince Rupert.

What I am proud of is the clean-up job that we did...We did a complete overhaul of the company as a result of that spill,â&#x20AC;? said Perret, noting that the pipeline width has been increased and remote pump stations would be manned 24/7 in response to feedback from the public. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have designed a response plan and have established places where emergency response equipment could be stashed away...Having tugs the size we are proposing with response capabilities we are proposing in the area would

Other questions focused on heavy First Nations opposition, with Perret noting that 60 per cent of First Nations the company has consulted with have agreed to an equity offer but that the names of those groups are being kept confidential by request, the number of local jobs, with Perret noting locals would be hired as often as possible, and the impact of exporting on fuel prices, with Perret saying it could be a few cents per litre.

Above, the Thornhill Fire Department was a late entry in the United Way fire truck pull held in Terrace Sept. 22. They heaved the truck over the line in 15.25 seconds.

GATEWAY perspectives

Building skills

Flexing for a good cause

By Anna Killen THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

TERRACE - The 2nd annual United Way fire truck pull went off without a hitch – or, that is to say, with one hitch attaching a rope to a 31,000 pound fire truck.

Nine teams from around the Terrace area performed the feat of strength on Saturday, Sept. 22 to raise money for the United Way of Northern B.C. The event ended up contributing over $5000 for the group’s work, which is active all over northern B.C. Terrace Mayor Dave Pernarowski and Skeena MLA Robin Austin judged the event and handed out the awards at the end.

The burly men of Acklands-Grainger Kitimat took first place once again this year with the fastest pull of 12.36 seconds, winning a trophy

and a team dinner at Boston Pizza.

And the Northcoast Nightmares roller derby team showed a lot of spirit, winning best dressed – they were decked out in full roller gear, skates and all– as well as most money raised, raising $1,253 – over a thousand dollars more than the minimum donation for entry of $250.

Valard McDonnell pulled in 13.01 seconds, the second fastest. Valard will be matching employee contributions.

The Terrace Northmen Rugby Club gave it a shot twice, as their first attempt broke the rope.

The event kicked off this year’s United Way Campaign. The 2012 campaign, which runs until December, hopes to raise $1.25 million.

Prince George is hosting its fourth annual fire truck pull this weekend.

Respect has been the cornerstone of our relationships with Aboriginal groups across Canada. That’s respect on their terms, not ours. And that means having an understanding of, and sensitivity to, the values and the issues that are important to them.

When we started talking to Aboriginal communities about the Northern Gateway Project, they told us, unequivocally, that they wanted meaningful, long-term involvement in the labour force. That’s why we established a $1.5-million Gateway Education and Training Fund — and it’s not dependent, in any way, upon Northern Gateway regulatory approval.

This fund supports training initiatives based in the pipeline, construction, and energy sectors. It is not training for the sake of training; it is totally focused on employment outcomes.

And along Northern Gateway right-ofway communities, Enbridge is already connecting industry and community to help create Aboriginal career opportunities.

Catherine Pennington, Northern Gateway’s Supervisor of Community Education, Training, and Skills Development, reports that we’re already co-funding training programs for surveyors and ironworkers. We’re purchasing seats in existing Aboriginal trades programs, and partnering with provincial and federal bodies to help develop skilled tradespeople in the areas

of heavy equipment operation, pipefitting, welding, and construction craft labouring. We’ve also co-ordinated the first of many “workforce connections” workshops, bringing together representatives of Northern Gateway equity First Nations and companies with labour-force needs for some meaningful employment discussion.

We’ve heard, loud and clear, from Aboriginal communities that they don’t want to be bypassed anymore by economic opportunities created within, near, or around them — and we’re doing something about it. The Gateway Education and Training Fund shows our commitment to community and workforce development.

We want to be connected to the Aboriginal community and not just because it makes good business sense. It’s about partnership. It’s about responsibility. And, ultimately, it’s about respect.

SPCA remains under quarantine

By Alan S. Hale THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - The Prince Rupert SPCA has been under quarantine for more than two weeks, and no one can say for certain when its doors will open again.

If the ringworm infection has been eliminated, the shelter could begin taking in and adopting out animals again in 10 days, if not it could be a lot longer.

Since the quarantine began the staff at the SPCA have had to keep a grueling cleaning schedule, which includes washing 60 animals in a solution of lime and sulfur every three or four days, washing the building from floor to ceiling with anti-fungal soap, and throwing away any other porous surfaces such as scratching posts, toys, mats, everything that the spores might be hiding on.

The SPCA staff has also been testing the animals to see if they are still infected.

“We take toothbrushes and we scrub their necks and their ears and then we put it in a plastic bag and then we put it on a gel and it grows. Whatever grow on the gel tells us what’s on the animal; like a Petri dish,” Anna Terebka, branch manager, said.

Since starting their cleaning regiment, the shelter has sent out two batches of samples to Prince George to be analyzed; one went last week and the other was collected from the animals on Saturday. Before they can reopen both

It takes the lab 10 days to analyze the samples, so the soonest the SPCA could open again is Oct. 3.

“If we get one positive, then we have to assume that every animal has it,” said Terebka.

If the samples don’t come back clean the SPCA will stay closed until they do.

Staff are crossing their fingers that results are clean, not just for the animals, but because the quarantine is draining them dry financially. All of the $3,400 that they

raised at their annual Paws for a Cause fundraiser this month has been spent on large amounts of expensive soaps and cleaners for the quarantine.

Just because the shelter is closed hasn’t stopped people from bringing in more animals though, and Terebka says that the shelter needs some families to volunteer to be foster homes for new animals until they can be admitted to the shelter. She also says that are in need of donations of bleach and towels as well.

The SPCA is hosting a Quiz Night at the Moose Hall on Nov. 16 to help raise more money.

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.

The Hills/Carlson family is saddened to announce the passing of their wife, mother and grandmother, Evelyn Martha Hills. The daughter of Gordon and Lois Vickery, Evelyn was born in Hamiota, Manitoba on September 21, 1930. She grew up and lived in various communities in Manitoba with Hamiota being home for many of those years.

First married in 1955 to A. Morgan Carlson, Evelyn had three children, Sharon, Janice (Stuart) and Dennis (Sharon).

Morgan passed away in 1959. In 1971, she married Richard “Dick” Hills and the family relocated to Prince Rupert, BC. Evelyn had two more children, Cameron and Lisa. As her children grew and left, the grandchildren arrived, Joel and Sean Carlson and Mark and Stephanie Wright, who could always Ànd comfort on Grandma’s knee.

An employee of the Royal Bank for 46 years, Evelyn was visible on the front counter for many of those years. A supportive wife and an enduring champion of her children and grandchildren, she was always there for the 5am trip to the ice rink, the tending of scraped knees and the words of guidance.

It was always clear that her family was the most important thing in the world to her. She was also known for having a cupboard full of fresh cookies and homemade squares which were a greeting and a comfort for friends and family.

Evelyn loved going to aquacises at the swimming pool and always enjoyed the company of her friends for a coffee at McDonalds afterwards.

She will be missed by all who knew her.

An informal, come and go tea will be held Saturday, September 29, 2012 in the First United Church basement, at 636 6th Ave West, between 1 and 4 pm.

TERRACE - Team Terrace, pictured here, hosted the Northwest Invitational Gymkhana at the Terrace fairgrounds on Sept. 15 and 16. Terrace took first place, followed

by Houston and the Fraser Lakes. It’s a good thing Houston had a small team, said organizer Danita Petch. “If they’d had a full team Terrace would have had their hands full.” A gymkhana is an equestrian competition where riders show off their precision, control and team-work skills in timed, race-against-the-clock events. This year’s event “went off without a hitch,” said Petch. Next years invitational will be held in the Fraser Lakes.

Did Prince Rupert’s quick ice fix pay off?

By Alan S. Hale THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - The City’s attempt at a quick fix of the Jim Ciccone Civic Centre’s broken ice chiller appears to have paid off.

If everything goes the way they hope it will, the ice-making equipment could be in working order again on Wednesday. But only then will a decision be made about when a new sheet of ice will be made.

Workers located the leaking ammonia pipes that are causing the problems early last week and patched the leaks. It didn’t stop there though. The equipment was worked on all week, the ammonia

pipes had to be pressure tested several times for leaks, and a new compressor machine was installed.

By Monday of this week, the man in charge of all the repairs, Kevin Brown from North Coast Refrigeration, said that everything was going well, but there was a long list of things that needed to be done before the equipment would be ready to start making ice again. “[On Monday] I’ll put some ammonia back in and refrigerate the tubes to make them contract to see if any other leaks open up and if that holds we’ll continue from there,” says Brown.

If the pipes make it through that final test, then it will still take

Brown and his team two whole days to mix and replace the saltwater brine that the ammonia tubes are submerged in.

Only after the equipment is put back together will the civic centre decide when to try to create a sheet of ice on the rink. But still, the repair means that Prince Rupert will likely get its skating rink back over a month ahead of schedule.

The patch job on the chiller is expected to end up costing $10,000 – $15,000 on its own, but it appears it won’t be the City who will be footing the bill. According the City’s director of Recreation, Rudy Kelly, and the Prince Rupert Minor Hockey association has offered to

pay for the repair.

“They haven’t given us any money yet, but they basically said ‘hey, do what you have to do,’” says Kelly.

About 150 minor hockey players and their parents have been forced to travel down the highway to Terrace every weekend to play on the ice there. When the kids have used the rink at home, it’s been for dry ground practice.

The repairs don’t change the fact that the chiller needs to be replaced as soon as possible though and a new one has been ordered and will arrive in early November.

Kelly’s original hope was that the repairs would allow the chiller to be used until after this year’s

hockey season is over. Kevin Brown from North Coast Refrigeration – who has been doing the repairs on the chiller – has said that this is not a good idea since it’s impossible to tell when the other ammonia pipes might rupture.

Brown says it’s better if the civic centre replaces the chiller as soon as the new one comes, which will mean shutting down the rink again for the installation. Kelly says that they will do whatever Brown recommends.

“We’re going to defer to him because he’s the expert. If the new chiller comes in and we have to take week or two to put it in, that’s what we’ll have to do,” said Kelly.

Terry Fox Run keeps spirit alive

By Cameron Orr THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

CAMERON ORR / THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

Participants at the community Terry Fox Run on Sept. 16 wave to the camera as they leave the Riverlodge parking lot.

KITIMAT - Kitimatians continue to keep the spirit of Terry Fox alive as another year of the community Terry Fox Run wraps up.

On Sept. 16 people gathered at the Riverlodge to sign up to pledge money to cancer research, then they took off on their walk (or run) that would take them around the Kildala area.

In all 25 people attended the event, raising $1,195.

Christine Doherty is this year’s new coordinator for the event, taking over from Anne Berrisford who had headed the event for numerous years prior.

Doherty is thankful to the com-

munity for contributing to such a great run.

She also notes that next year’s event is already scheduled for Sept. 15, 2013.

Ian Closs and his wife Eileen will certainly have that date circled on their calendar already. The couple have been participating in Terry Fox Runs since they began in 1981.

Ian explained to the Sentinel what makes Fox such an inspiring person as he flipped through several scrapbook albums of newspaper clippings of stories relating to Terry Fox and the annual marathons.

Ian himself was an avid runner back in the time the Marathons of Hope began, and was recovering from an arm injury when he did his first one.

He said he had been feeling low after his injury but was inspired seeing Fox doing his run.

“From then on I stopped feeling sorry for myself,” he said.

Admiration of Fox ran in the family. Ian said he remembers an exchange between his father and himself when his father, watching Terry Fox on television, said “There’s a real hero.”

The wording caught Ian off guard. “My father was a career soldier...I never heard him say that kind of thing.”

Ian’s admiration of Fox remains and will continue to do the Terry Fox Runs as long as he’s able. “I admired the man so this is my way of paying back,” he said.

The Northern Gateway Project is generating healthy debate.

British Columbians are asking many important questions like, is this pipeline worth it for BC and its northern communities?

The benefits that the Northern Gateway Project will bring to British Columbia are significant.

It will create jobs, generate new tax revenue for BC, and strengthen the province’s economy.

New jobs will be created...

Many people will be employed to build this project. Here in BC, over 3,000 high-paying construction jobs will be created during the building phase. And over 500 new long-term jobs will open up when it’s completed–jobs to monitor and maintain the pipeline, jobs at the Kitimat Marine Terminal, and indirect jobs in areas such as food and hospitality, accommodations, and transportation. And all right here in BC.

Over $800 million will be spent on local goods and services...

During construction, hundreds of millions will be spent in Northern BC on equipment rentals, worker accommodations, trucking and fuel, just to name a few. Businesses will grow and new jobs will bring a steady source of family income, as well as opportunities for young people right out of school. All of this will have a positive impact on local businesses and community stability.

Local communities will have a brighter future...

On top of new jobs being created, the project will generate $40 million per year in new tax revenue for BC–that’s $1.2 billion over a period of 30 years. This will make a difference to local communities who can use it to build facilities and strengthen public services.

Enbridge will also provide an additional $100 million to support communities near the pipeline in BC and Alberta. We are also committed to partnerships with Aboriginal communities–funding will be provided for community investment, scholarships and education programs, and Aboriginal business opportunities will be created.

People will learn specialized work skills...

Individuals from towns near the pipeline will be given the opportunity to learn the skills needed to work in the energy industry. Enbridge has created the Gateway Education and Training Fund, a $1.5 million commitment that will support training initiatives that focus on pipeline construction skills. The knowledge and experience acquired during the construction phase will serve them well as the demand for skilled workers in the energy sector here in British Columbia, Canada and around the world continues to increase.

New global markets will open opportunities for new growth...

As it stands, Canada relies on just one customer for its oil exports.

The Northern Gateway Project will provide access to the growing economies and the huge markets of the Pacific Rim eager for our energy, which will increase Canada’s Gross Domestic Product by at least $270 billion over 30 years. So not only will the residents of British Columbia see an increase in tax revenue, employment and long-term job opportunities, they will see the economy strengthened in both their province and country as a new gateway to more trade partners opens up.

The project will bring significant economic benefits to BC. Discover more and join the conversation at benefits.northerngateway.ca.
