Liberal budget would raise some taxes

By Tom Fletcher

THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

VICTORIA – The B.C. Liberals’ pre-election budget proposes to implement income tax increases on business and higher-income individuals, similar to proposals from the NDP opposition.

The corporate income tax rate would rise one point to 11 per cent effective April 1, accelerating by a year an increase announced in 2012. NDP leader Adrian Dix has repeatedly promised to increase the corporate rate to 12 per cent, where it was in 2008.

In Finance Minister Mike de Jong’s budget, tabled Tuesday, personal income taxes for those earning $150,000 or more would rise 2.1 per cent to 16.8 per cent for two years, starting next Janu-

10 NO MONTHLY DATA LIMITS! 15 NO MONTHLY DATA LIMITS! Connector ad Feb 1.indd 1

ary. That increase is to be rolled back to the current rate of 14.7 per cent in 2015, de Jong said.

Dix has indicated that if the NDP forms government, he would impose an income tax increase for those earning $150,000 or more a year, with specifics promised in the NDP election platform.

De Jong stressed that B.C.’s personal income tax rates are still the lowest in Canada for those earning up to $122,000 a year.

With a provincial election set for May 14, this budget will not be passed by the time the brief legislature session ends in late March. Its measures are part of a campaign platform for Clark’s government, and the winner of the election must pass a budget in the fall.

Also proposed is a tobacco

tax hike of $2 per carton of cigarettes. De Jong said the effective date is held off until Oct. 1 to give people time to quit smoking, with 100,000 B.C. residents currently taking advantage of a provincial program offering free nicotine patches, gum or approved prescription drugs.

The last tobacco tax increase was seven per cent when the harmonized sales tax was implemented in 2010, replacing the provincial sales tax that didn’t apply to tobacco. That tax is to be retained when the province reverts to the PST on April 1.

De Jong’s budget also proposes to phase out school property tax credits for light industry for the 2013 budget year.

De Jong’s projections call for spending to increase by 1.5 per cent overall in the coming three

years, with health care spending increases of 2.3, 2.7 and 2.2 per cent over the same period.

“This is not enough even to maintain existing health care services, given the cost of population growth and inflation, not to mention what’s needed to make needed improvements,” said Debra McPherson, president of the B.C. Nurses’ Union. “As a result, health authorities will be forced to continue jamming hospital patients into offices, lounges and other areas not designed for patient care, as well as using hallways to take up the slack.”

The budget also adds a four per cent increase in Medical Services Plan premiums to take effect next January, the latest in a series of increases paid by individuals or their employers for basic medical care.

Terrace chamber wants body to study taxing methods TERRACE - The Terrace and District Chamber of Commerce has urged city council to form a task force to study the disparity between residential and business taxes.

Gordon Stamp-Vincent, first vice-president of the chamber, proposed a task force to study the taxation issue, saying businesses in the city face operating in an uncompetitive environment.

The business community said that business taxes for small businesses and small industry were too high in a Terrace Economic Development Authority (TEDA) report from July 2012, he added in addressing city council Feb. 12.

Businesses here lose customers to big box stores, online shopping and other competition, he said.

The premise of raising business taxes is that businesses generate revenue while residences do not; however, residences can have rentals in them or home-based businesses but they

don’t have to pay the business-related costs of either of those.

Businesses don’t want to pass off increased business costs to their customers and in the case of some businesses, prices are set by a head office elsewhere, so there’s no flexibility, said Stamp-Vincent.

If prices do increase, often customers will shop elsewhere, further reducing the business’s ability to absorb tax increases, he said.

In 2012, businesses pay four times what residences paid for their property value.

“It’s more difficult to diversify the economy with non-competitive tax rates,” said StampVincent.

Stamp-Vincent recommended that council set up six to eight representatives from business and residents on a tax task force to study the issue and report back to council this fall.

The results can be included in the 2014 city budget, he added.

Councillor James Cordeiro asked on average what percentage of their revenue were local businesses paying on taxes.

Stamp-Vincent said it depended on the business.

Cordeiro asked what the average would be and Stamp-Vincent said he didn’t know.

If the burden of taxes is put on businesses, will that attract businesses to come to town or will people move to a cheaper tax jurisdiction, Stamp-Vincent asked.

“And if you think it does not happen, look at the news, with eight Future Shops and seven Best Buy Stores being shut down so little things can mean a lot for a business’s setup,” he said.

Cordeiro asked if there was any evidence that those stores were closing due to property taxes; it’s believed they were closing because technological items sell better on the internet and that both stores have a huge internet presence.

“I’ll let retailers know you’d like businesses to move out of town,” said Stamp-Vincent.

“I don’t think there’s evidence they’re closing because of property taxes,” said Cordeiro adding he believed it was because a retail location was not the best way for

“You know we deal with a variety of demands on a meagre tax base. We have to make those decisions. When it comes to taxes, there are only a few tax classes. If residential goes up, then business could go down.

Prospect of Kitimat oil refinery to be determined very soon

By Cameron Orr The Northern connector

KITIMAT -When newspaper mogul David Black meets with people over breakfast at a provincial chambers of commerce conference in Vancouver March 6 he’ll hopefully have a stronger sense on where stakeholders stand on his proposed oil refinery for the Kitimat Valley.

The president of Kitimat Clean said in about two months, or 60 days, he expects to have heard back from the majority of people regarding his refinery dream and will have an idea on how feasible it is. “[I thought] in two months I should have everything together,� he said.

That includes feedback from potential financiers and customers.

But he’s still feeling optimistic about the whole thing. When the Northern Connector last spoke to Black — who also doubles as the chairman of Black Press, the owner of The Northern Connector —

he had just concluded a tour in Asia meeting with potential partners and customers in the venture. Meetings continued through the winter here in Canada and he said that no one ever said they wouldn’t take a refined fuel, one of the many criticisms of the project. “There’s a lot of interest,� he said. “We will have the most competitive refinery on the whole Pacific basin.�

The Edmonton Journal first reported on Black’s 60 day countdown last week.

Their story included comments from a University of Alberta professor who suggested future prices of bitumen may make Black’s refinery unfeasible in the next five or so years.

But speaking to the Northern Connector, Black responded that he’s not at all worried about future prices. He said that as long as bitumen remains well under the price of a barrel from the Middle East, right now about $115 a barrel, he should be okay.

DAVID BLACK “As long as we’re substantially underneath in Alberta, and they are‌we’re going to be super competitive,â€? he said.

Black still knows there’s lots of work to do, especially with an oil industry that’s very cautious of new refineries, but is pleased with what he’s accomplished so far.

He said there are still formal discussions to have with area First Nations, including the Haisla.

In August 2012, David Black announced the formation of Kitimat Clean Ltd., and

said an environmental assessment application would be submitted for a proposed oil refinery near Kitimat, which would use product from the proposed Northern Gateway Pipeline.

The plant would process up to 550,000 barrels per day of diluted bitumen to be shipped back to Edmonton, 240,000 barrels per day of diesel, 100,000 barrels per day of gasoline and 50,000 barrels per day of kerosene.

There’s not been refinery built in North America for many years.

A modern day refinery would cost in the billions and require strict environmental scrutiny.

Black says it would make a lot more economic and other sense to sell petroleum products refined in Canada to overseas customers as opposed to sending the raw product overseas to be refined.

A refinery would add thousands of jobs in the northwest, resulting in stability of direct and indirect employment, Black has said.

B.C. Civil Liberties weighs in on teacher’s T-shirt debate By ?Martina Perry

THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - The president of the BC Civil Liberties Association (BCCLA) has called out the Prince Rupert school district for banning T-shirts containing section 2 of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, claiming the decision approaches the level of farce.

“The school district’s decision to ban free speech about free speech reminds us of a badly-written comedy sketch. But this isn’t an Air Farce skit, it’s a troubling violation of teachers’ constitutional right to free expression,” said Lindsay Lyster, president of the BC Civil Liberties Association.

The letter refers to the district boycotting T-shirts displaying a play on the famous Shakespeare line “2(b) of not 2(b)?” on the front, while referencing text from Section 2 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, including 2(b) freedom of expression on the back.

“In considering the Shakespearean questions posed on the front of the T-shirt, the school board has evidently decided that “not 2(b) is the answer. That answer is not only wrong, but is in violation of Canada’s constitution,” read the letter signed by Lyster.

Although the Prince Rupert board of education wasn’t allowed to discuss the actual T-shirt incident, as it is under grievance, they did talk about the letter at the Feb. 13 board meeting.

Trustee Barb Gruber called the letter “a piece of garbage”, saying a third party had no business writing the letter.

Tina Last, chair of the Prince Rupert board of education, said she didn’t like the tone of the letter.

“I agree with a Canadian’s rights, we live in Canada we know what they are. I also believe in respect. But just reading that letter, there’s so much disrespect,” Last said.

“I’m not offended by her want-

Prince Rupert’s

ing to discuss what she sees as a violation of [the constitution]… I’m offended with how she went about the letter,” she said, adding herself or the superintendent could’ve been contacted directly about the matter.

While the BCCLA letter warned the district to reverse the ban before it’s brought to court and to be mindful of the Charter in the future, the board of education chose not to respond to the letter.

“The letter was not communicated very nicely, I think it was probably written in a haste and in anger but by responding to it we’re just keeping this going. We don’t settle anything by responding,” said Trustee Janet Beil.

Five Prince Rupert teachers were told to remove or cover the Tshirts in question at the end of January, following the district receiving national attention for deeming a quote from Dr. Seuss’s Yertle the Turtle too political for classrooms in 2012.

Council hears request Cultural exchange opportunity for vaccine support

By Cameron Orr

THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

KITIMAT - A local woman and a director for MeningitisBC.org has urged Kitimat Council to back calls for the inclusion of more comprehensive meningitis vaccines to students.

Janet Munro made the argument to council, and said she wants to see vaccinations for youth between 16 and 18 years old, the peak time when the bacteria can be transmitted.

Munro lost one of her sons to meningitis unexpectedly in 2011. She said that her son, 23-year-old Bradley Munro, was found dead in his bathtub in his apartment in Kamloops, where he was attending Thompson Rivers University.

He was found by some classmates and a professor.

It was later discovered he succumbed to the Y strain of meningitis and that after extensive research, Janet discovered that only the C strain is commonly protected through vaccines, while vaccines to cover the majority of the other strains is available at cost.

“Not once were we told that this vaccine was available.

For him to die so sick and alone is beyond gut wrenching,” she told council.

She said that while statistics show that only 1 in 10,000 people contract the illness, nearly a quarter of young adults are carriers for the bacteria, which is why she wants to see that age

group protected.

Her request to council was for them to promote her cause through other levels of municipal government — namely the North Central Local Government Association and the Union of B.C. Municipalities — and also assist meningitisbc.org in applying for grants, and receipting charitable donations on behalf of them while they away their own charitable status.

Councillors were supportive of her cause. Mario Feldhoff said the fact that B.C. doesn’t have this vaccination program already “seems to be out of step.”

A motion passed for the District of Kitimat submit resolutions to NCLGA and UBCM to solicit support for meningitis vaccination programs, and also to assist them in applying for grants.

While a motion was not directly passed to issue tax receipts for charitable donations on their behalf, staff was asked to report back on if such a task was possible from them.

The Kitimat Hospital Foundation or the Kitimat Community Foundation were suggested as other bodies to provide similar services, but their help may rest on this group receiving their charitable status, which is forthcoming.

The District of Kitimat has provided receipts in the past, notably on behalf of the Looking for Love Animal Shelter Society, the group which campaigned and fundraised for the construction of a new animal shelter.

Middle school students now have an opportunity to enjoy the spoils of Italy with a cultural exchange program through the Mount Elizabeth Middle Secondary School.

The program will put stu-

dents into Italian homes, and program coordinators are focusing on ensuring First Nations students get involved with the program as well.

The community is Trento in northern Italy, while the school

itself is in nearby Pergine. The exchange would last about two weeks.

Those interested can call the Kitimat District Teachers Association’s president Reid Nelson at 250-632-3709.

Kitimat Celebrates The Delta King: A Ship with a History

60

1953 - 2013

K

itimat’s iconic Delta King is a ship with a story to tell. Even though it rested on our shores for a scant seven years, it was present for some of the most important days of our history.

The Delta King, a 285 foot (87 meter) vessel, was parked on shore at Hospital Beach for the better part of the 1950s, right through the start-up of the Alcan/Kemano project.

The Delta King arrived here on May 8th, 1952 after a three week journey, under tow from San Francisco. The 30 year old veteran riverboat had been stripped of its paddlewheel and steam engine. After purchase by Kitimat Contractors, it was modified for maximum accommodation. Although it was built for 400, it never housed more than 250 souls.

The ship’s boiler and generator supplied heat and power to the ship. At the time of the ship’s arrival in 1952, the

THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

TERRACE - An American caught pretending to be a B.C. resident while fishing for steelhead in the Skeena region has been barred from fishing in the province and heavily fined after pleading guilty to three counts of making false statements to obtain B.C. resident angling licences.

Charles Gentry, a U.S. citizen, was convicted Jan. 22 and ordered to pay $4,375 in fines. He is also prohibited from applying for any B.C. angling licences and angling anywhere in the province for two years.

The Northwest Conservation Service Office began investigating Gentry last year after being tipped off from the public that he was purporting to be a B.C. resident while fishing in the Skeena during the summer and fall months.

“We had a member of the public contact our dispatch. They said he was an American and they suspected he’d been fishing as a B.C. resident because of how often he was going out. So we looked into it and confirmed all of that stuff,” said north coast zone conservation officer Gareth Scrivner, noting that Gentry had been faking residency for nearly half a decade to avoid paying for expensive non-resident angling fees.

Non-residents need to pay between $20 and $40 a day to fish steelhead here, depending on the classification of the river, but residents only have to pay $15 for the whole year.

“He was just abusing the resource here, taking a resource like he’s a local person, but for an American it’s pretty much impossible to be a resident,” said Scrivner, noting that Gentry had been fishing almost daily in the months that he was in Terrace.

“He’s a big time fisherman. Some-

times it’s hard to realize just how passionate some fishermen are. He pretty much moved to the area just for fishing. He had some money, kind of took an early retirement, moved to the area for part of the year just to fish, and then would go back to the states when the weather started getting pretty rough and so would stay down there and then come back up to go fishing again.”

Cases of non-residents claiming to be B.C. residents are a problem in this area because of the incredible fishing opportunities, said Scrivner.

“Local people have great access to the resource, and it’s a world-class resource,” he said.

“I lived in the U.K. before moving here, in a similar field, and my associates and friends would just love to be able to fish here and it’s just not affordable or possible for a lot of those folks to come here and do that.”

And since the licencing system moved online a few years ago, it’s even easier for people to claim residency.

“Instead of going to a tackle store and buying your licence you can buy it online on a government site,” he said.

“So it makes it a little bit easier for guys to claim that they’re a B.C. resident because they’re not having to lie to folks face-to-face.”

To tackle this abuse, conservation officers are more diligent when checking licences out on the river.

“We don’t want to treat everyone like they’ve done something wrong,” he said. “But if we have a suspicion that someone might not necessarily be from B.C. then we might ask a few more questions.”

And Scrivner notes that the whole investigation started from information from the public.

“It shows how important it is for folks to call stuff in,” he said. “He thought he could get away with it.”

Northwest jobs picture starts to pick up

By Staff Reporter

THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

TERRACE - The northwest B.C. employment picture continues to brighten slightly with 39,700 people working in January 2013, an increase over the 39,200 figure for December 2012.

In all, 42,900 people in January considered themselves part of the labour force whether they were working or not, a rise from the 42,700 figure the month previous.

The employment increase was sufficient to drop the jobless rate to 7.5 per cent in January compared to December 2012’s rate of 8.2 per cent and November 2012’s rate of 8.5 per cent.

The number of un-

employed dropped to 3,200, better than December 2012’s 3,500 figure and the 3,600 tally for November 2012.

January’s jobless rate was enough to pull the northwest out of its traditional last place spot among regions in the province. That distinction now belongs to the Kootenays which had a

jobless rate for January of 7.8 per cent.

Across BC, employment fell by 16,000 in January, and the unemployment rate was 6.3 per cent, reports Statistics Canada. With this decline, employment in the province returned to a level similar to that of 12 months earlier.

Results from the 54th annual All Native Basketball Tournament Skidegate Saints repeat with win over Kitkatla Warriors

By Shaun Thomas The Northern connector

PRINCE RUPERT - The Kitkatla Warriors were largely untouchable as they walked through the competition to earn a spot in the Seniors Division final, where they met up with the defending champion Skidegate Saints.

After losing to Kitkatla in their first game of the tournament, Skidegate enjoyed a small lead in the early going, and the two set the stage for a competitive game with a first quarter that ended 16-14 in favour of the Saints.

The second got underway amid battling chants of “Go Warriors Go!” and “Go Saints Go!”Despite the encouraging chants, neither team could pull away and the game was tied at 23 through five minutes of play. At the half Kitkatla led by a single basket, 32-30.

Skidegate retook the lead in the third and were up 45-41 through five minutes. An 11-0 run by the defending champions widened the gap 52-41 with 90 seconds on the clock, and Skidegate took a 52-46 lead into the fourth quarter.

Kitkatla narrowed the gap to 57-56 with five minutes to play, setting up an exciting finish. As the clock wound down and the chanting grew louder, the Saints took a 68-61 lead into the final 90 seconds.

Passing the ball and running out the clock, Skidegate was able to claim its second straight Seniors title with a 69-63 win.

“It is an unreal feeling. No words can describe what I feel right now. They are a very tough team, but we worked hard for this, playing seven games and coming through the losers bracket,” said Rid-

“All of our family and fans are going to be happy to have our trophy back.”

Saints head coach Dave Wahl said he was impressed with both his squad and the Warriors.

“There is a lot of talent out there on both sides... It is just two great teams competing. We have a team with a lot of experience and I am looking forward to a lot of great Skidegate-Kitkatla matches in the years ahead,” he said.

After the game fans from both teams flooded the court and performed a song from their nation as the players danced. Following that, drummers, fans and players from Kitkatla and Skidegate joined together for a

Ahousat finished third and Bella Bella finished fourth. The Kitkatla Warriors were named the Most Sportsmanlike Team.

Skidegate’s Desi Collinson picked up his second straight MVP trophy and was the tournament high scorer with 145 points over seven games, Jacob Thom of Kitkatla was named Best Defensive Player and Most Inspirational Player, Matt Gladstone of Skidegate was given the Sixth Man award and Tyler York of Skidegate was named Mr. Hustle.

Haisla Pride come from behind to win Intermediate title

By Shaun Thomas The Northern connector

PRINCE RUPERT - The defending champion Ahousat Intermediates met some familiar competition in the finals of the 54th All Native Basketball Tournament in the form of the Haisla Pride of Kitamaat.

After trading leads in the early going, Kitamaat was up 9-7 through five minutes of play.

The two teams kept pace for the remainder of the quarter, which ended 13-11 in favour of the Haisla.

Ahousat came out firing on all cylinders in the second, quickly wiping out the Kitamaat lead and turning it into a score of 24-18 in their favour through five minutes of play. Kitamaat went on a 13-4 run late in the quarter to regain the lead and the half finished with the Haisla up 34-31.

That back and forth continued in the third, with Ahousat leading 41-37 through five minutes. When the buzzer sounded to end the third, Ahousat held a six-point 53-47 lead.

But the game was far from over — a Kitamaat surge early on put them back in the lead and the two teams would battle for every basket. The game was tied at 59 midway through the quarter, but a 6-2 run put Ahousat in the driver’s seat with 1:25 to play.

After a three pointer to pull within one and some strong defence, a foul sent Darren Metz to the line where he went two for two to give the Haisla a 6867 lead with 32 seconds left. When the Haisla pulled down the rebound on a missed Greg Charlie three-

pointer the crowd erupted, and when Dustin Knaus was fouled and sank both his free throws, the sound was deafening. When the final buzzer sounded, fans rushed the floor to celebrate a 70-67 Kitamaat win.

“It feels gratifying. These boys have put years of hard work to deal with this type of pressure in close, tight games,” said Haisla coach Mike Ridsdale, who said in the end the win could be attributed to “time”.

“The time just ran out when we happened to be in the lead. It was a back and forth game, we were up, they were up. Ahousat is a very talented team, they won it last year and made it to the final so you really have to give it to them.”

The Friendship House Cubs finished third and Bella Bella finished fourth. Kitamaat was named Most Sportsmanlike Team.

Darren Metz of Kitamaat was named MVP and was the tournament high scorer with an average of 21.8 points per game over seven games, Jeremy Nyce of Kitamaat was named Best Defensive Player, Chad Duncan of Kitamaat was given the Sixth Man award, Jordan Gladstone of Bella Bella was named Most Promising Player and Greg Charlie of Ahousat was named both Mr. Hustle and Most Inspirational Player.

Tournament all-stars included Dustin Knaus and Jeremy Nyce of Kitamaat, Bean Campbell and Jaylen Charleson of Ahousat, Glen Blandov and David Stewart Jr. of the Friendship House, Jordan Gladstone and Howard Duncan of Bella Bella, Josh Dennis of Port Simpson and Joel Richardson of Skidegate.

BC Ferries to SEABRIDGE GOLD SUBMITS KSM PROJECT pay less in tax ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT APPLICATION

By Tom Fletcher

The Northern connector

PRINCE RUPERT - The City of Prince Rupert will be receiving $15,780 less in taxes from BC Ferries this year.

The B.C. government has settled a dispute that had gone to court over the assessment for tax purposes of BC Ferries’ 49 ferry terminals, after an assessment appeal board reduced the value of the Horseshoe Bay property to a nominal amount.

BC Ferries has been appealing the assessment value of its terminals since 2010, trying to reduce the level of municipal tax it pays for land that has few other uses than the current one. The decision to slash the value of the Horseshoe Bay land took the government and BC Ferries by surprise, said Bill Bennett, minister of community, sport and cultural development.

Bennett announced Thursday that a negotiated settlement has been reached to retain most of the property tax income from BC Ferries to municipalities. The agreement reduces the assessed value of the Horseshoe Bay land by 12.4 per cent. Most others have their assessed value reduced by about 20 per cent.

Seabridge Gold has now submitted the Environmental Assessment (EA) Application and Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for its KSM Project (located 65 kilometres northwest of Stewart). This milestone comes seven years after the company began work on KSM in 2006; the journey through the EA process – used by the Federal and Provincial Governments to review projects to determine their environmental, social and economic impacts – began for the project in 2008.

The KSM Project EA Application reflects years of exploratory drilling; detailed scientific, technical and heritage research and fieldwork; and expenditures of more than $146 million dollars, 80 percent of which have been in British Columbia (BC).

reflects feedback from the Nisga’a Nation and First Nations, the project’s Working Group, and input provided by members of local communities who’ve taken the time to attend events, meetings, community summits and career fairs to learn more about the project.

Like many major industrial developments, the KSM Project requires a joint provincial and federal EA. This means the BC Environmental Assessment Office and the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency will review the KSM EA Application and make recommendations to their respective minsters about whether or not to issue an EA Certificate for the project. Provincial and federal regulators, Aboriginal groups and the general public participate in the review too. Seabridge will also be involved, presenting information about aspects of the project and being available to answer questions from reviewers.

Resource development drives the BC and Canadian economies, and the proposed KSM Project – with its 52-year mine life, potential multi-generation The review process will take employment for thousands, time. The proposed KSM Proand huge economic impacts at ject is large, and the detailed, community, regional, provincial 25,000-page application reflects and federal levels – represents Seabridge’s commitment to rean important opportunity for sponsible development. many.

Fronk. “Thanks are also due to the KSM Working Group “If you look back over time, in Canada, carefully designed projects are given the go-ahead to proceed,” says Rudi Fronk, Seabridge Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Not only because they are technically and scientifically feasible, but because they are environmentally sound and socially responsible. This is the only way resource development can take place today.”

For the KSM Project, Seabridge pulled together a team of employees, consultants and contractors with the knowledge and experience needed to design a great technical project. And, from the beginning, the company has been committed to submitting an application for KSM that

Fronk concludes, “Everyone’s participation and input has resulted in what we consider to be a strong application for a technically and environmentally feasible project. We look forward to a timely and fair review of our EA application / EIS submission, and will continue to work cooperatively and closely with all those involved, as we enter this next stage in the KSM Project’s development.”

By Staff Writer

THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

TERRACE - Meet Generation Squeeze, defined as those under 45 years of age.

Dr. Paul Kershaw from UBC will be in Terrace, Monday, Feb. 25 to talk about a government spending imbalance that affects people under the age of 45.

“Governments spend just $12,000 on benefits and services per Canadian under 45, compared to nearly $45,000 for every retiree,” reads promotional material being circulated for Dr. Kershaw’s appearance.

“This spending imbalance persists even though high home prices squeeze generations under age 45 with crushing debt, which they must pay with wages that have fallen compared to a generation ago, and in jobs that rarely contribute pensions. This is not a good deal if you are under 45,” reads the material.

Dr. Kershaw will talk about safeguarding medical care and retirement security without sacrificing present and future generations, the material adds.

Kershaw will be speaking at a luncheon at the NWCC longhouse from 11:30 am to 1:30 pm on Feb. 25. Managers and decision makers are welcome.

Those attending were to have registered by Feb. 20 at www.terracechildren.org. There is no cost.

There is also an evening gathering at the Elephant’s Ear starting at 7 pm. on Feb. 25.

This one is particularly meant for parents and those under 45 but open to anyone as well.

Local sponsors include Success by 6 and Northwest Community College.

GATEWAY perspectives

Spill response plan Over the last few months, I’ve talked about the precautions, the safety measures, and the selection criteria involved in the marine elements of the Gateway project — all of them intended to prevent an oil spill on water. I’ve also discussed how Gateway’s marine safety program was examined by an independent risk assessment group, which determined that the chances of a major spill are once in more than 15,000 years.

Love your savings with a TLC term deposit

Although statistics and reports suggest a marine oil spill is unlikely, you want to know — what if one does occur? How will Gateway be prepared? While the chances are slim, we continue to develop a world-class marine response program.

The Northern Gateway Project includes a spill response capacity that’s more than three times the Canadian regulation. And while the Canadian requirement for oil spill response is 72 hours plus travel time, our response time will be a fraction of that number — 6 to 12 hours in the marine channels. This is a significant increase to the response capability available to B.C.’s north coast. Additionally, for immediate response, our tug escorts will be

equipped with booms, oil skimmers, and firefighting equipment to provide enhanced initial containment, and they will be available to all marine traffic in the event of an incident.

We will store equipment, such as containment and absorbent booms, skimmers, and waste storage, in multiple well-maintained, readily accessible response bases, providing a wider area of coverage in a shorter amount of time. Barges will also be located throughout the marine channels for additional storage and equipment mobilization. We are committed to having staff, contractors, and partners in place to maintain that enhanced state of readiness.

The Gateway project will likely never see a major marine oil spill.

But if it does, we’ll be prepared to protect our coastline.

Ice Demons knocked out of the playoffs

By Contributed

THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

KITIMAT - The Kitimat Ice Demons were out-played, out-shot, out-muscled and knocked out of the CIHL playoffs in game two of the western semi-final, as the Steelheads showed why they’d won the league regular season titled in each of the last two years.

They played all 60 minutes at a tingling pace, keeping the Demons off stride throughout on February 16.

Using a commanding puck-possession game and operating in fast overdrive, the Steelheads prevented the Demons from getting into second gear, out-shooting them 17-4 in the first period, when rookie goaltender Tyson Craven stood tall in the net, making all 17 saves.

The Demons got one past the Steelhead goalie, arch nemesis Mike Wall, eight-and-a-half minutes into the game, with Josh Slanina sliding a cross-ice puck under Wall in the crease.

Assists were awarded to Jeff Mildenberger and Ian Coleman.

The lead held up into the second period when Adam Devries took advantage of a good play by Darryl Young to finally beat Craven at 3:06 of the second after Ian Smith stripped a Kitimat forward of the puck and turned the direction of the play.

RYAN JENSEN / THE INTERIOR NEWS

The Kitimat Ice Demons were knocked out of the playoffs by the Smithers Steelheads on February 16.

Referee Kory Martens kept the game in tight control, while letting both clubs skate. But the Demons took two extra penalties, one by Brandon Wakita with a high stick

just a minute or so after the tying goal.

Then Smithers, as they have in both semi-final playoff games, made them pay just 38 seconds later

with Randall Groot getting the last touch in a tic-tac-toe play for the first of three power play goals in the game, two by Groot.

Assists on Groot’s first went to

Josh Aspenlind and Ryan Devries.

Back on the power play exactly 10 minutes later, with Kitimat’s Jon Aiken serving two for a slash and a misconduct for arguing with referee Martens, Darryl Young (Ryan Devries) slapped a rebound puck behind Craven, after several good saves.

The Steelheads added to their total with a 4-1 goal in the final minute of the period on a two man breakaway that ended with Ryan Green scoring cleanly on Craven with a Kitimat defender tangled in the Smithers end with two home players.

The Ice Demons played a little better in the third period, but could still only manage eight shots at Wall, while Craven handled 14 as Steelheads ran up a total of 45.

The 18 shots could be among the lowest number in the Ice Demons’ history, but was a credit to the complete game played by the Steelheads.

Craven’s heroics in net deserved a better finale as as a scoreless third period wound down, Spencer Brooks hefted a clearance into the Demons’ end with 19 seconds to go only to see the puck bouncing off the lively boards past limping Kyle Boudreault and directly to incoming Randall Groot, who buried it behind a surprised Craven for a final score of 5-1, with just 18 seconds left in the game.
