Province forgives Shames’ debt

By Staff Writer

THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

TERRACE - The largest financial obstacle to My Mountain Co-op’s purchase of the Shames Mountain ski facility has been removed.

The provincial government late last week approved two measures to deal with hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt and interest owed to it by the facility’s current owner, the Shames Mountain Ski Corporation, and by the co-op.

The largest amount is debt totaling $429,010.97 plus interest for a tourism development loan taken out by the ski corporation in 1988. A proposal made

by Shames Mountain to pay $125,000 for a full settlement of the loan and interest has been accepted by the province.

Shames Mountain must pay the money by Dec. 31, 2012 for the province to forgive $304,010.97 in debt plus interest.

A further $130,000 that wasn’t paid by Shames Mountain Ski Corporation in royalties for the use of Shames Mountain itself will be dealt with by a combination of forgiveness and debt restructuring.

The province will forgive the interest portion of the royalty debt which is $46,767 and the co-op has agreed to pay the remaining $88,579 spread out over the next 10 years.

Royalties paid by ski facility owners to the provincial government amount to two per cent of chairlift revenues each year as a form of rent to use the land on which the facility operates.

Shames Mountain and the co-op struck a sales deal last year

in which the co-op took on responsibility for the unpaid royalties.

But the overall sales deal could not be completed until the debt owed to the province had been dealt with.

The co-op operated the mountain last year under a lease deal with the ski corporation, and was prepared to do the same this season. News of the financial deal came out at the co-op’s Nov. 26 annual general meeting.

Provincial forests and natural resources minister Steve Thomson, the minister responsible for Crown land, said the deal enables the co-op to buy the ski hill assets, allowing it to offer a recreational outlet for the region.

“We are satisfied they have the ability to make this work.” said Thomson of the co-op.

“They lined up corporate spon-

sors and they’re using their own resources and ideas.”

He said the province agreeing to forgive interest and write off a portion of the decades-old tourism development loan was the only realistic option it could make given the alternative.

“If the purchase agreement didn’t go through, the ski corporation would have gone into bankruptcy. There would be jobs lost and an impact on the community,” said Thomson.

The province would have ended up with the ski hill assets in its possession and would have to face any and all costs associated with their disposal, he said.

Still, Thomson said forgiving debt and interest should not be taken as a sign that other entities who owe money to the province can expect the same kind of treatment.

Wolves became too habituated so they had to be killed KITIMAT - A pack of wolves which had grown cozy feeding off the kindness of strangers were destroyed on Nov. 14 because they had become too habituated to human contact.

Conservation officer Dale Kluivers confirmed that the wolves, which to some people had been an attraction around the Hospital Beach area, had become way too comfortable around humans, a dangerous thing to be when you’re a wild animal. Two wolves had been seen for about two weeks prior to Kluivers arrival to their hangout and he said in all there was a family of five.

“They were very habituated. When I came there they came right to the truck,” he said. “They were really looking for handouts.”

He said conversations with Rio Tinto Alcan employees revealed that the wolves would actually follow people around who parked at the beach and got out of their vehicles. “By feeding them...they get so accustomed to human food that it decreases

their natural food gathering skills,” said Kluivers. “They should be hunting deer and moose with their family.”

The potential danger to humans is that if they don’t receive a steady supply of food

once they’re habituated like these ones are, they can get quite bold.

Kluivers suspects these wolves were being fed by people in the summer and through the fall but as the weather got colder people stopped coming

by as often. “Because they ware so skinny, I think they just didn’t know how else to get their food anymore.”

Maryann Ouellet, who manages the Kitimat Humane Society shelter, said that they

initially heard about the wolves were destroyed, wolves when they re- she said she knew what ceived a call about a likely lay in store for the “mangy looking dog.” animals, due to the fact When she got there they were being fed. she found one laying “You’ve basically on a rock.

Museum seeks native artifacts

By Staff Writer

The Northern connector

TERRACE - A small museumat Cedarvale east of Terrace says CN won’t provide it with aboriginal artifacts found while adding sections of siding.

Mary Dalen of the Meanskinisht Village Historical Association which runs the museum at Cedarvale says she understands material uncovered during track construction includes arrowheads, flint and cooking bowls.

Cedarvale is located alongside of Hwy16 on the south side of the Skeena River, approximately 75km from Terrace, just across the river from the siding work on the north side of the river.

Dalen said she and a son were even denied an opportunity to examine what had been found when they went to the construction site.

“When we went there, they wouldn’t let us down to where the work was going on,” said Dalen.

She said subsequent conversations with CN officials about the artifacts have proved fruitless.

But CN deliver to the historical association what Dalen calls “boxes of twisted wires and metal” taken from the construction location.

The four cardboard boxes also contain one insulator with Grand Trunk Pacific stamped on it, and other unmarked insulators.

Grand Trunk Pacific, which finished the rail line to Prince Rupert in 1914, is the predecessor company to CN. Dalen says any item with Grand Trunk Pacific does have historical relevance but doesn’t make up for not receiv-

ing any aboriginal artifacts.

“They’ve promised us a showcase for this material but we haven’t seen that either,” Dalen adds. She’s now worried about rumours the artifacts may instead be headed for the Ksan Historical Village and Museum in Hazelton or to the Museum of Northern BC in Prince Rupert.

Dalen’s connection to the artifacts CN found during track construction goes deeper than simply wanting them placed in the Meanskinisht museum.

Dalen’s Gitxsan fore bearers, living at a place called Gitlusec, were among to the first to greet Robert Tomlinson, an Irish doctor and missionary, when he arrived in 1888 to establish a Christian village there.

Tomlinson called it Meanskinisht (translated as “under the pitch pines”) and buildings were erected on both sides of the Skeena.

First Tomlinson and then his son, Robert Tomlinson Jr., took up land grants on both sides of the Skeena River. The land was first leased and then some parcels were sold to aboriginal people, including Dalen’s family members, she says.

Since CN’s project is going through some of the land first taken up by the Tomlinsons and then leased and sold to Gitxsan people living in the area, Dalen says there’s a strong connection to the artifacts the company found.

“These are artifacts which are part of our history,” said Dahlen.

She said buying leased land from the Tomlinsons was one way of establishing aboriginal title at a time of settlement when aboriginal title wasn’t being re-

spected elsewhere.

Still, Dalen notes, it amounted to “having to pay for the land we [already] lived on.”

CN’s siding project is part of a multi-million construction project aimed at improving its ability to move goods and freight to and from the expanding port at Prince Rupert and at other facilities near that coastal city. The artifacts are being evaluated by archaeologists.

The community of Meanskinisht, which at one time consisted of homes, churches, a school and a sawmill, no longer exists as an entity.

The name was replaced

by Cedarvale, chosen when a post office was placed beside the rail tracks on the north side of the river.

Today Cedarvale is accepted to be the small settlement on the south side of the Skeena alongside Highway 16.

While CN may not be willing to provide aboriginal artifacts found during construction work this year to a local museum that’s asked for them, it says it does have an agreement to safely house them. That agreement, says CN official Warren Chandler, is with a Gitxsan chief from the area called Arthur Matthews.

When CN began planning to extend its sidings in the Cedarvale area, it contacted Gitxsan authorities and established that Matthews was the right chief based on traditional clan territory, said Chandler.

“It was well-defined that this was the clan territory for Arthur Matthews,” he said. “The agreement calls for the artifacts to be housed in a facility that’s owned and managed by the Gitxsan chiefs,” Chandler added.

Archaeologists were hired to be at the construction site and have possession of artifacts which include arrowheads and cutting tools.

Still to be determined is when the artifacts are to be turned over to the Gitxsan.

Mary Dalen, who lives at Cedarvale and has developed a small museum under the auspices of the Meanskin-

3002A

isht Village Historical Association, questions CN’s agreement with Matthews.

The area where the artifacts were found is not part of his traditional territory, she says.

“The land belongs to my grandmother’s people. There’s a direct link,” said Dalen.

Chandler says CN will honour its agreement with Matthews.

Rupert’s Inland Air featured on episode of The BIG Decision

By Martina Perry THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

RUPERT - Bruce MacDonald, owner of Inland Air, may have not received $500,000 of funding from Canadian entrepreneur Jim Treliving through the CBC television series The BIG Decision, but regardless he’s ecstatic his business was exposed to countless Canadians.

“The north coast is one of the most beautiful places on earth, but it’s a hard life for the locals… they’ve lost a lot of tourism dollars, but there is hope on the horizon,” Treliving said on the show.

The episode stated Inland Air requested half a million dollars to transform into an eco-tourism business, however MacDonald said when he applied for the show it wasn’t for money.

“We were looking marketing and how to tap into markets. We got a lot out of it,” he said.

MacDonald told The Prince Rupert Northern View he’s not sure where the

program got the million dollar deficit figure from, and to keep in mind The BIG Decision is a semi-reality program. He ensured Inland Air is in no danger of closing.

During the episode, Inland Air had to perform challenges given by Treliving, including finding a helicopter to lease, so tourist could have better visibility and a more comfortable tour, and to improve the company’s branding to become more tourist-friendly.

Treliving sent up a marketing consultant from LYNK Marketing to help improve branding. A while later, MacDonald and Virginia Mcrae, Inland Air office manager, connected with consultants in Vancouver, where they shared new branding techniques such as a new website design concept, brochures, and company name.

Inland Air will slowly implement the changes, operating the sight seeing portion of the company under the suggested name, Spirit Wind Airways, before tran-

Prince Rupert’s

sitioning all of the business to the name.

Although Treliving was impressed with Inland Air’s improvements and success with the challenges, he chose not to invest.

“Hopefully all the changes they’ve made will improve their business. I wish them all the success in the world,” Treliving said at the end of the episode.

Despite not receiving funding, MacDonald said it was a positive experience.

“The crew was great to work with.

Jim’s a really nice guy. It was a once in a life time experience,” he said.

MacDonald may not have been funded, but he got what he wanted. During filming, MacDonald and Mcrae got in touch with tour operators in the industry down south, creating contacts for the business. MacDonald said he’s also pleased with the advertising associated with being on a popular show.

“We got 22 minutes of national television play. We can’t buy advertising like that.”

KITIMAT — This year’s Sharing Tree is in the lobby of Envision Financial credit union.

People are encouraged to grab an ornament which comes with a gender, age and list of items for people to buy. People are then asked to bring those items back, unwrapped, and they will be handed out to people in need. The tree is a program done together with the Kitimat Food Bank. Gifts must be brought back to the tree by December 8.

Time to think about Hampers KITIMAT - Christmas 2012 is fast approaching and the Kitimat Christmas Hamper Appeal is once again underway.

In 2011 the citizens of Kitimat and Kitamaat Village, some Terrace businesses, as well as a couple of off-shore corporations, generously donated $46,992.91 our highest amount of donations ever - enabling us to fill over 300 Christmas hampers and to continue assisting the less fortunate in Kitimat and Kitamaat Village throughout the year. We also received numerous boxes of food, gifts and toys thanks to you all.

The Christmas Hamper Appeal is under the auspices of the Kitimat Food Bank Society. Our organization is run strictly by volunteers and the majority of the donations are used for the needy with a small portion going for operating expenses. We are the only organization distributing Christmas hampers in Kitimat and Kitamaat Village.

Christmas hampers include a voucher (for a turkey, ham or other) along with the trimmings for a Christmas dinner. Schoolchildren, churches and other community groups donate a significant amount of the food.

New toys are included for children 12 and under. We like to include gifts for all teens and

adults and appreciate receiving gift certificates for music downloads, books/magazines, video rentals, swim/skating passes, phone cards, toiletries, flowers, restaurants, or other gifts suitable for teens, women and men.

Gift certificates from local merchants are a wonderful idea as this enables recipients to purchase something they would enjoy as well as supporting the local economy. We do not give clothing as gifts, apart from mitts, gloves, toques etc. as sizing is a problem.

We would appreciate receiving unwrapped gifts as we have a Gift/Toy Committee who wrap and mark gifts. This makes it easier for us to know how many gifts we have for each age group.

This year hampers will be delivered on Saturday, Dec. 15 beginning at 10:00 a.m. We would appreciate receiving donations of food and gifts by December 9 so they can be sorted, wrapped and packed prior to delivery.

Hamper requests must be completed and dropped off at the Salvation Army Thrift Shop or the Food Bank (through mail slot if Food Bank is closed) by Friday, December 7.

Phone requests are not accepted and late forms will go on a waiting list. Hamper request forms can be picked up at the

Food Bank, Social Services Office or the Salvation Army Thrift Shop.

This year we have a change in venue for our Sharing Tree.

As Wings Travel are in the midst of downsizing their office space, Envision Financial Credit Union have set up a tree in their office and donations of cash, gifts and non-perishable food items may be dropped off there during regular business hours (Monday – Thursday 9:30 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.; Friday 9:30 a.m. – 6:00 p.m. and Saturday 9:30 a.m. – 3:00 p.m.).

As we are obligated to follow the Food Safe Rules for B.C. we are not allowed to accept home canned fruit, vegetables, fish, etc.

Cheques may also be dropped off at Thomas Cook Wings Travel during their business hours or mailed to Box 20, V8C 2G6. Receipts are issued for donations of $10 or more for income tax purposes. If you wish further information please call 632-6611, leave a message and someone will contact you.

Thank you all for your ongoing support - we could not continue to function without your generosity.

Truck stolen

Credit union supports Terrace …

By Staff Writer

THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

TERRACE - A swimmer at the Terrace Aquatic Center last week had a nasty surprise.

Someone went into the person’s locker while they were using the centre and took pants, truck keys and wallet with various cards and ID. The thief or thieves then tracked down the person’s vehicle, a 2002 Dodge Ram 2500, and stole it from the parking lot. =The truck is described as an older model with a sled rack in the back, a short box, rear tinted windows, chrome rocking boards, chrome bug deflector on the hood, and black rimmed winter tires.

The matter is under police investigation.

Ridley Terminals takes possession of new stacker/reclaimer

By Michelle Bryant

The Northern connector

PRINCE RUPERT - Ridley Terminals Inc. took possession of their new Stacker/Reclaimer last week, worth over $24 million.

The machine will increase the efficiency of the terminal operations, with a stacking rate of 8,000 tonnes per hour and reclaim rate of 6,000 tonnes per hour. Combined with the expansion of other areas in the terminal, the stacker/reclaimer

will increase annual throughput capacity at Ridley Terminals to 25 million metric tonnes per year by 2015.

The stacker/reclaimer was designed by Sandvik in Austria and built in Jiang Su province, China. It weighs approximately 1,500 metric tonnes, is more than 140 meters long and over 30 meters tall. The machine is approximately the length of 1.5 football fields.

The stacker/reclaimer arrived in 5 pieces aboard the HHL Macau, after a three week

trans-Pacific journey. It was unloaded from the ship using local longshore labour managed

by Western Stevedoring. A local firm, Wainwright Marine Service, has been contracted for barge and marine logistics.

Mammoet Heavy Lift and Gat Leedm Trucking also assisted in moving the stacker/reclaimer from the HHL Macao to the stockyard.

Progressive Steel and Magnum Road Builders have been preparing the site on Ridley Island for the arrival this this

massive machine. LNS Services has been contracted for the assembly of the machine, which will take approximately three months.

The stacker/reclaimer was ordered in 2011. The entire process of design, fabrication, delivery, installation, and commissioning will be twenty-four months.

This stacker/reclaimer at Ridley Terminals will be the 8th stacker/reclaimer in export coal handling service on the west coast of North America.

shall, the Horseshoe Bay appeal was put forward as a test case. The ruling is now being appealed by the District of West Vancouver and BC Assessment.

“We don’t believe that anything will move ahead until such time as there is a resolve on the Horseshoe Bay issue,” said Marshall.

“As this matter is under appeal, it is inappropriate for us to comment any further.”

However, the decision to make these appeals does not sit well with North Coast MLA and NDP Ferries Critic Gary Coons.

“I see the potential cut

in revenue from city coffers as another ‘slap in the face’ from BC Ferries, which is sanctioned by the policies of this BC Liberal government...

Coastal and ferry dependent communities are feeling the wrath of outrageous fares, record declines in ridership and service cuts. Now we have more downloading on cashstrapped municipalities,” he said.

“If BC Ferries wins their appeals at all terminals and it is upheld, the provincial government must step in, rectify their mistake, and supply a grant in lieu ‘formula’ to save face.”

NHA comments on Labour Relations decision

By Shaun Thomas

THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

www.bclocalnews.com /bc_north

tions as HEU Maintenance Worker IIIs we anticipate will bring to an end the labour/ management gridlock PRRH/NH has been embroiled in the past 18 months” though mentions of union issues were removed from later backgrounders.

However, Raper said Northern Health wouldn’t be discussing anything related to the Steve Raper management.

“At this point we are not speaking publicly about employee relations because there is a level of privacy and confidentiality involved,” he said.

While she hasn’t talked with the management at the Prince Rupert Regional Hospital, IUOE Local 882 business manager Saundra Taylor said work is underway with Northern Health on the matter.

“Right now we’re working on a remedy to see if we can resolve this ourselves...If we don’t get the remedy we’re looking for, we would look at going back to the Labour Relations Board,” she said.

“We don’t want to make any more waves, we’re trying to rebuild our relationship with the employer and get our members back to work.”

“I think it’s time to move forward and work with the IUOE to determine what the remediation would be...”

PRINCE RUPERT - After weeks of declining comment on a Labour Relations Board ruling indicating that they acted in an anti-union manner, Northern Health said it has accepted the decision.

“We are not appealing the ruling and we plan to move ahead to rebuild the relationship with the International Union of Operating Engineers [IUOE],” said Northern Health Director of Communications Steve Raper.

“I think it’s time to move forward and work with the IUOE to determine what the remediation would be based on the ruling... We hope to have this done in a timely fashion.”

The Labour Board ruled that management at the Prince Rupert Regional Hospital and Northern Health were aware that one of the reasons a new electric boiler system was being recommended for the hospital had to do with eliminating IUOE positions at a time when the five members had more than 30 grievances filed against the employer. A June 16, 2011 backgrounder pointed out that by “displacing the 5 IUOE employees in this department and reposting these posi-

Moly mine approval decision is pending

By Staff Reporter

THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

TERRACE - The provincial cabinet ministers who will either say ‘yes’ or ‘no’ to a $850 million molybdenum mine northwest of here should be in a position to do so just before Christmas.

That’s when energy, mines and natural gas minister Rich Coleman and environment minister Terry Lake are scheduled to receive the results of a review of Avanti Mining’s plans for an open pit operation at Kitsault, approximately 200 kilometres by road from Terrace.

Avanti filed its plans with the BC Environmental Assessment Office at the end of April, starting a review of thousands of pages of information for a mine project that would deliver hundreds of jobs for approximately 20 years.

The review was to last 180 days until the

end of October but was extended for three weeks to give officials more time.

A preliminary assessment report from the review is then to be examined by Avanti, government officials and First Nations before a final document is prepared.

It’s this document that goes to the two cabinet ministers who then have 45 days to make a decision.

That final assessment should be ready before Dec. 21, Avanti said in a press release last week.

Company officials earlier said they are confident the mine project will be approved.

Avanti has so far spent $70 million on the Kitsault project, including approximately $15 million on environmental studies.

Also underway is a federal review which Avanti estimates will be finished within two months of the provin-

Threats continue

By Staff Reporter

THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

TERRACE - Terrace RCMP are advising the public that the Northwest Community College has received additional threats.

“We are working with the college to ensure the safety of the students and faculty. At this time the college is not being evacuated. Extra security measures have been put in place by the college,” says Sgt Mike Robinson, non commissioned officer in charge of operations, Terrace Detachment.

On October 2 a bomb threat caused the evacuation of the college. An explosive trained canine unit was called in to search the college’s buildings and student residences, with negative results. A second threat was received Nov. 22 and a third Nov. 26.\ If anything suspicious is observed call 911 immediately. If anyone has information to assist with this ongoing investigation call the Terrace RCMP or submit a tip anonymously thru Crime Stoppers via phone, text, or web.

cial one. A decision by the federal environment minister would follow within three months, Avanti added.

Molybdenum has a number of uses, including as a hardening agent in steel alloys.

Avanti officials earlier said they had focussed on preserving water quality at the mine location.

Access to Kitsault from Terrace runs through the Nass Valley and while the mine location is not within the Nisga’a Nation lands that are part of the Nisga’a Final Agreement land claims treaty,

it is within traditional Nisga’a territory.

In its filings, Avanti outline plans for local training and hiring a construction workforce and then an operating workforce.

Avanti plans to truck out its ore concentrate using the east-west Cranberry Connector route that runs approximately 30km from the Nass Valley to Hwy37 north of Kitwanga.

From there trucks will continue south to Hwy16 and then to Vancouver where the concentrate will be loaded onto freighters for delivery overseas.

The Cranberry is designated as a forest service road and is not a highway and is not normally maintained during the winter. Avanti would maintain the road meaning it could also be used by others.

While Avanti has been pursuing environmental approval for its project, it has also been lining up financing.

That includes a preliminary deal to borrow money from a financial subsidiary of Caterpillar to buy Caterpillar equipment and a similar deal with a German state-owned bank to buy German equipment.

Please Attend

ON THE ROAD ACROSS THE NORTHWEST The Seabridge Gold team attended 13 events in 37 days this fall to talk about the KSM Project in local communities across the northwest.

First stop was Smithers on September 11, to provide Mayor and Council with a KSM Project update and opportunity for questions. That same night, Seabridge hosted an Open House at the Northwest Community College for the public to come and learn about KSM and – if it’s approved – what it will mean for Smithers and its surrounding communities.

A few days later (following a two-day technical working group meeting in Smithers with Provincial, Federal, First Nations and Nisga’a representatives), it was like déjà vu as the team rolled into Terrace to meet with Terrace’s Mayor and Council, followed by an evening Open House at the Waap Galts’ap Community House at Northwest Community College’s Terrace campus.

“One of the things we like about meetings like these is they give us an opportunity to hear directly from communities about what residents think about the KSM Project,” says Elizabeth Miller, Seabridge’s Manager, Environmental Affairs, who works in the KSM Project office in Smithers. “The most frequent comments we hear at every event relate to jobs and training, and how people can prepare for employment opportunities if mining projects like KSM are approved.”

Miller continues, “There are more than 120 different occupations to choose from in mining which means jobs to suit many, at every skill level. If KSM gets approved, we’ll be able to start hiring people.

But that’s still at least a couple of years down the road, so we’ve created information about jobs in mining to help people understand what’s involved in the work, and what skills training they’ll need to do in order to be prepared when the opportunities come up.”

On October 14, Miller and her colleagues headed north for two days of community information sessions in Telegraph Creek, Dease Lake and Iskut.

Then, on October 17 back in Smithers, Brent Murphy, Seabridge’s VP, Environmental Affairs was part of a panel discussion on mining development at the Regional District of Bulkley-Nechako Business Forum. The next day, Murphy headed to Stewart to meet with the Mayor and Chief Financial Officer, while Miller presented at the Annual Gitxsan Summit in Hazelton and then hopped in the car to drive to Stewart to meet up with her colleagues for an evening Open House at the Rec Centre.

“It was a tiring few weeks and a lot of driving, but was very worthwhile,” says Miller. “Many people across northwestern BC have some kind of connection to mining – because they work or have worked on projects, or because their friends and family are involved with the industry in some way. On the road, we get to share our stories about working in the industry, as well as information about KSM, and we get to hear other people’s stories too.”

GATEWAY perspectives There’s no mistaking the importance of Kitimat, B.C., to the Gateway project.

It’s where the pipeline ends, and it’s where marine operations begin.

I’d like to set the record straight on why we chose Kitimat, at the head of the Douglas Channel, as the site for Gateway’s marine terminal. The answer took thousands of hours of research, planning, engineering, environmental science, oceanography consultation, weather monitoring, and simulation. But the simple reason is . . . safety, all the way.

The Douglas Channel is one of the widest and deepest inland waterways on North America’s west coast.

Government research had already determined Kitimat to be among the safest ports in B.C., and about 1,500 tankers carrying petrochemicals have docked safely at Kitimat over the past quarter-century.

Strategically speaking, Kitimat provides the lowest environmental risk for all aspects of Gateway operations. It offers a safer endpoint for the pipeline route, from a geotechnical perspective. The marine terminal at Kitimat also provides safe approaches for tanker traffic — with a suitable turning basin in Kitimat Arm, and natural deep-water berths that are sheltered

from open-water wave conditions.

At its very narrowest, the Douglas Channel is 1.4 kilometres wide — three times wider than Transport Canada’s recommended width for two-way tanker traffic. Water depths in the marine channels are up to several hundred metres.

As an added measure, full simulations of vessel traffic in the Douglas Channel were carried out at a world-leading facility in Denmark. It tested the largest proposed vessels in environmental conditions that tankers would experience in the marine channels. The result was a thumbs-up on the shipping route, endorsed by both government departments and the British Columbia Coast Pilots.

Why Kitimat?

Why the Douglas Channel?

It’s the safe option for Gateway.

My brother William Grootendorst was killed several kilometers north of Kitwanga in a single vehicle accident on an extremely icy, unsanded stretch of highway on Oct. 29 when he lost control of his company truck. I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to Eric Roy, an extraordinarily kind man who did everything in his power to save my brother. He stayed with him as he died and for the hour it took until the ambulance arrived.

Many others stopped to offer what assistance they could. Most of you remain unnamed but know you are all Good Samaritans and I offer you my sincerest thanks for all you did for my brother. Hennie Aikman, Comox, BC.

Celebration of life Sat. Dec. 15, 2012 at 2 pm at the Salvation Army Church, Grenville Court Prince Rupert BC

Danny passed away peacefully on November 20, 2012 at Acropolis Manor in Prince Rupert.

He was born on August 23, 1923 in Tugari near Split, Croatia. He will be dearly missed by all his friends. Danny was a long-time member of the International Longshoremen & Warehousemen’s Union Local 505.

Special Thank you to the staff at the Oceanview Hotel and Acropolis Manor for taking good care of him.

A service will be held at the Annunciation Church at 1 pm on Saturday, December 1, 2012 and a celebration of his life will follow at the Oceanview Hotel.

Born in Revelstoke, BC on April 14, 1926. Doch passed away peacefully on Nov. 18, 2012 with his family by his side. He is survived by his loving wife, Marion of 61 years; son Jarvis ( 51), daughter Fiona (44), grandson Jeffrey(17), and grand daughters Janessa(15) and Jennifer(13). His sister Ann Minty is still alive and living in Nepean, Ontario. He is predeceased by his mother Effie and father Bill Robertson.

Doch started his law career with Brown and Harvey in Prince Rupert in 1951. He started his own law practice here in Terrace in 1957 where he acted in many high profile criminal law cases in this area. He moved into family law in the middle of his career and retired in 1995. He went on to have a book published called “A Touch of Murder Now and Then”, which highlighted his life as a Barrister in this area in the early days of Terrace. He was a member of the Rotary Club here in Terrace for most of his career, earning the Paul Harris Fellowship Award for his tireless years of community service. He served as Chancellor of the Diocese of Caledonia for over 35 years in the Anglican Church.

After retiring from this service, he was bestowed the honour of Canon. His friends will miss his whimsical sense of humour and hilarious “one liners” that made everyone chuckle.

He grew up in Vancouver and spent many hours of his childhood riding with his father in the locomotive engine of the Royal Hudson. He graduated from UBC with his law degree in 1951, the same year that he married Marion ( nee Filmer). They moved North for “one year” and like it so much that they spent the rest of their married life here. He and Marion had 3 children: Jarvis , Geoffrey ( deceased), and Fiona.

Mom and family would like to thank Dr. De Bruin, all of the staff at Terraceview Copper Community, Father Ernest and Cory, and all of the support of the community during Dad’s final days. A funeral was held on Nov. 22, 2012 at St. Matthew’s Anglican Church. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the HOME Society 31581 South Fraser Way, Abbotsford, BC V2T 1T8.

A Letter to Readers Our carriers work very, very hard every week to deliver the Kitimat Northern Sentinel and the Northern Connector papers to you.

They take their jobs very seriously and do the best they can in all kinds of weather. Many are in school and this is their first job.

During the Christmas season, we often get asked “How do I give my carrier a gift to say ‘Thank You’ for doing a great job when I don’t see them?”

If you would like to send him/her a card, tip, or gift, you can do it through the Northern Sentinel office. Simply drop in to the office, or call Tracey, and we will be sure that it gets delivered to the carrier.

If you have any questions, please contact us at classifieds@northernsentinel.com, or call 250-632-6144.

THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - The Prince Rupert Rampage played host to two teams from the Cariboo this weekend, and came up short in both games.

On Saturday night the Rampage faced off with the Williams Lake Stampeders in front of a packed house, and started strong with Josh Kierce putting Prince Rupert on the board after a soft shot went five-hole just over five minutes into the first for the only goal of the period.

In the second, the Rampage found themselves on an extended five-on-three less than a minute in, but were unable to capitalize. From there the period was all Williams Lake. Ryan Conlin tied things up on the powerplay with 13:32 to go, and a blast from the top of the circle by Brent McIsaac on the powerplay gave the Stampeders the lead.

With eight minutes to go in the second, Jean-Luc Fournier of the Rampage was assessed a five-minute major and a game misconduct for a hit from behind and that would prove to be costly.

After two-minutes of four-on-four hockey due to a

Rampage captain Jared Meers looks on as his shot is stopped by Quesnel’s Ryan Manderson during third period action on Sunday afternoon. complimentary Stampeders penalty, Nathan Zurak made the Rampage pay by scoring a natural hat trick within a three-minute window.

Zurak spun and fired home a goal with 5:48 to play, went blocker-side with 4:43 to go and went blocker-side again with 3:51 to play to put

Prince Rupert down 5-1.

That would be all the scoring in the period and in the game, giving the Rampage much to think about go-

ing into Sunday.

On Sunday, the Quesnel Kangaroos came out firing on all cylinders.

Nick Tomassetti opened

the scoring just over six minutes into the period, Joel Boyetchko put Quesnel up by two just over halfway through the first and Tomassetti made it 3-0 with 2:09 to play leaving the Rampage down 3-0 heading into the second.

But in the second the Rampage fought back.

Jared Davis found the back of the net less than five minutes in, Jean-Luc Fournier pulled the team to within one less than two minutes later and, with 3:21 to go, Kory Movold tied things up heading into the third.

The final period was a lot of back and forth action until, with 5:40 to play, Quesnel’s Justin Fulton cut in alone and backhanded in his own rebound to give Quesnel a 4-3 lead.

That goal would prove to be the winner as the Rampage ended the weekend without a win.

In other CIHL news, the Terrace River Kings appeared to wake up from their slump, winning both of their games at home.

They took Lac La Hache Tomahawks 6-5 on Saturday night, and won against the Williams Lake Stampeders 5-2 during the Sunday matinee.

Demons add points to tie with Steelheads

By Submitted

THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

KITIMAT - With two convincing wins, 6-1 Saturday over the Quesnel Kangaroos and a rollicking 12-4 trouncing of East-leading Lac La Hache Tomahawks – the Kitimat Ice Demons’ four points on the weekend tied them with the Smithers Steelheads at the top of the CIHL standings with 20 points each on the season .

However, the Steelheads will have a game in hand. The two teams don’t meet head-tohead until Dec. 29 when Smithers will host the Ice Demons as this long-standing rivalry continues.

On Saturday night the Kitimat Ice Demons got revenge for their only loss of the season so far as they trounced the Quesnel Kangaroos 6-1 in a game where they heavily out-shot the Kangaroos 48 to 30. But for the acrobatics of Ryan Manderson in the Kangaroos’ net (who stopped 16 shots in succession during a five minute Demons’ power play), the score could have been much higher.

At the other end Demons’ Tommy Mildenberger improved his rookie-season record to 4-0-0 in net as he kicked out all but one of the Kangaroos’ shots at the goal.

Kitimat was looking for a measure of revenge over the ‘Roos who came from behind to win 4-2 on Oct. 14, for the only Demons’

loss this season.

Wade Masch, playing in only his second game of the season, got the affair started by finishing off an up ice drive by beating Manderson in a passing play that saw assists to Derek DeLisser and Jordan Goncalves. Demons made it 2-0 with a Dan Jerrett goal at 7.25 in the second, assisted by Jordan Goncalves and Kyle Boudreault. Just nine seconds later the Demons moved ahead 3-0 as Terry Whelan broke in cleanly on Manderson, who stopped his initial shot but could do no more as Kory Finn lifted the rebound into the back of the net, for his first of the season.

Jordan Goncalves picked up his third assist in succession on the goal. Joey MacDonald got one back for the Kangaroos with a minute and a half left in the period (Curtis Gassoff, Joe Boyetchko) but as the period ended, with 10 second remaining, Boyetchko fell afoul of referee Chris Daniels, earning a five minute and game misconduct penalty for an egregious high sticking penalty.

After the break, the big beer garden crowd got to watch the Ice Demons on a disappointing full offensive as they poured 16 shots at Manderson, in a five on three power play, for two minutes and an additional three minutes at five on four.

But the crowd was disappointed as line after line poured shots at Manderson and he stopped them all. A couple of posts and a

pull-down on Wade Masch when he seemed certain to score on a breakaway contributed to the blank.

A sour note came at the 10.48 mark of the third, when Ian Coleman and Kory Finn sandwiched a Quesnel forward as he carried the puck into the Demons zone. The player was looking for the puck at his feet and Finn made head contact sending his helmet spinning into the air and Daniels assessed a head contact five minutes and a game penalty.

Tommy Mildenberger was not as stressed in net as Manderson as the defence blocked and chipped out shots. He only had to make four saves in the five minutes.

But the Kangaroos could not expect their puck luck to continue – and it didn’t as Terry Whelan (Derek Wakita Jeff Mildenberger) finally broke through the defense at 10.22 before Terry Whelan dashed off the bench, shorthanded, to grab a loose puck and take a rush that resulted in a nice goal by Ian Coleman. Jeff Baker also assisted.

Ian Coleman made it two goals in succession to end the scoring at 18.07, after a nice up-ice dash by Wade Masch, sent into the clear by Derek Wakita, who also got an assist In other contests on Saturday night, with three eastern teams playing on the road against West Division opponents, the Williams Lake Stampeders were too much for the rebuilding Prince Rupert Rampage, who

scored first, but let in five in the second period for a 5-1 Stampeders win. In the other interdivision game the Terrace River Kings edged the surging Lac La Hache Tomahawks with a 6-5 win in a fast-paced game in Terrace. The Omineca Ice, smarting from a 10-4 drubbing from the Ice Demons a week ago, took it out on the Houston Luckies, winning 6-2.

On Sunday afternoon, the short-handed Tomahawks rolled into Kitimat after the loss in Terrace – and showed they were both tired and suffering bus legs from the long trip. Demons coach Cliff Madsen, while not unhappy with the Saturday win, asked the Demons for a faster start – and they obliged with the opening goal in 12 seconds of the first as Ian Coleman notched the uncommon “natural” hat trick with the last two goals against Quesnel and the opener against the Tomahawks.

Lac La Hache showed why they are where they are with the next two goals, scoring to tie the game four minutes later, with Danny Nicholas roofing a high one behind Tyson Craven and again on a power play at 8.37 with Wilf Robbins slipping one back door behind Craven. Kitimat got on even terms two minutes later, and things loosened up as the Demons added six goals, three of them on the power play and the Tomahawks added two power play goals of their own.

This weekend, the Ice Demons will again visit the Prince Rupert Rampage on Saturday.
