Kitsault has been kept up since its brief life as a mining town ended in the early 80s. A company called Kitsault Energy, formed by the town’s current owner, wishes to transform into a hub for the liquefied natural gas industry.

TERRACE - Terrace Mayor Dave Pernarowski has a new job working for a company that wants to convert an abandoned mining town northwest of here into an energy hub. Pernarowski took up his position with Kitsault Energy as its community and First Nations director in early February and spent part of last week at a liquefied natural gas (LNG) industry conference in Vancouver. Kitsault was built specifically as a town to house those who worked at a nearby molybdenum mine and their families on Alice Arm but was abandoned in the early 1980s after being open only for a short time when the mine closed after the price for the ore collapsed.

It has been maintained ever since and the site was put up for sale, eventually being bought by real estate and medical technology entrepreneur Krishan Suthanthiran in 2005 . He initially viewed it as a location for a number of purposes, including a high-end resort, by emphasizing its remote and pristine attributes. That direction’s now changed with a growing number of companies wishing to build natural gas pipelines to the coast to feed planned liquefied natural gas plants to then supply growing energy needs in Asia. “Mr. Suthanthiran sees this opportunity as a real benefit to the region in terms of providing an ideal location for LNG operations (shortest pipeline route, existing community infrastructure to accommodate up to 1000 peo-

ple, deep water access), creating jobs in the Nass Valley ...,” said Pernarowski of the formation of Kitsault Energy. The BG Group is one company wanting to build an LNG plant near Prince Rupert. It has chosen Spectra Energy to build a pipeline from northeastern B.C. to its planned plant location and Spectra has picked out three route options, one of which would enter the water in the Kitsault area before turning south to Prince Rupert. “Kitsault Energy would be interested in forming partnerships with any major LNG proponent looking for a suitable site,” said Pernarowski. “There are a limited site options for LNG terminals and deep water ports in the region. We feel that Kitsault provides a very unique opportunity in loca-

tion and existing infrastructure to these LNG proponents.” Suthanthiran made his fortune in real estate in the United States and then branched out into the medical technology field, including oncology services and products, and has manufacturing facilities in Canada. He’s also established a foundation called the Best Cure Foundation which its website says is to “eradicate contagious disease, malnutrition and poverty, and provide superior healthcare at low cost.” “I’m excited to be involved with an organization that will bring jobs and economic prosperity to the region and that is focused on giving back through a foundation that seeks to promote global healthcare and education,” said Pernarowski of the foundation venture.

Rupert schools near educational bottom flying fish By Shaun Thomas

The Northern connector

PRINCE RUPERT - The Fraser Institute released its elementary school rankings on March 4, and schools in the district remain near the bottom. The report looked at the average Grade 4 and 7 scores for reading, writing and numeracy on the Foundation Skills Assessment tests administered by the province, as well as the gap in scores between male and female students, and gave each school a score

out of 10 based on those results. The highest ranked school in the district was Annunciation school, which was ranked 50th out of the 853 schools included in the report, with a score of 8.9 out of 10. The ranking is up from the average fiveyear ranking of 58th, and the score is up from the five-year average of 8.4. But Annunciation was more than 750 places ahead of the next Prince Rupert school. The next highest-ranked school was Conrad,

placing 751 out of 853 with a score of 3.9. While the ranking was down from an average of 697th in the last five years, the score was up from an average of 2.9 out of 10. Lax Kxeen was next, ranked 784th with a score of 3.4. The ranking was down from the five-year average of 673rd and a score of 3.6. Rounding out Prince Rupert schools was Pineridge Elementary, ranked 817th with a score of 2.9. That score is well down from the five year average of 3.8, while the ranking is

down from a five year average of 665. Roosevelt Park Community School, which has frequently been near the bottom of the rankings, was not included in the report this year. According to author and Fraser Institute director of School Performance Studies Peter Cowley, not enough students wrote the test at Roosevelt to provide a significant sample size. The other North Coast school ranked was Sk’aadgaa Naay in Skidegate, placing 516th

ditch. No injuries were sustained. February 27, a middle aged woman was allegedly seen walking her dogs in Two Mile and carrying a weapon. Police are seeking additional information from the public. Crime stopping tip No. 1 - A common scam involves the use of an ‘overpayment’. If you receive a cheque or money order with instructions to cash it and forward a portion

of the proceeds to another person, there is a high likelihood that the monetary instrument is a fake. Once the forgery is detected it will be rejected by the bank and any payments made will be recovered from your account. Visit http://www. antifraudcentre-centreantifraude.ca/english/ home.html for more information on other common scams. Crime stopping tip Nov. 2

Conditions are imposed by the courts to ensure safety and to prevent further offences. If someone you know is on court ordered conditions and you believe they are not adhering to them, notify police so an investigation may be opened. It is in everyone’s best interests that investigations of this type be carried out.

No PCBs leaked as 1,500 litres of oil escape transformer By Martina Perry THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - The Prince Rupert Port Authority has wrapped up Phase 1 of its efforts to clean-up a mineral oil leak that occurred in the Fairview Bay area due to an act of vandalism. The Port said less than 1,500 litres of mineral oil escaped from three decommissioned electrical transformers, an incident the Port was made aware of on Feb. 22. Oil was sucked up by the porous ground in the area around the transformer site, with a quantity trickling down to the harbour. The Port coordinated a joint response effort, with Western Canada Marine Response Corporation containing waterborne contaminates and Quantum Murray collecting surface water and putting it into tanker trucks for disposal. SNC-Lavalin Environment took samples, and will continue to monitor the area.

International Women’s Day today By Cameron Orr

THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

KITIMAT - Today is International Women’s Day and the Tamitik Status of Women is hoping to keep people aware of the ongoing work to end violence against women. The Kitimat-based women’s advocacy group said that as International Women’s Day comes and goes, the organization is working to be inclusive of men and boys. Tamitik Outreach Worker Cheryl Rumley said that purely from statistics a lot of violence to women involves a male. They wanted to make sure that they’re not just reducing risk by working with women, but by

working together with all populations which are involved in crime. To that end they’ve for years been offering local men workshops on relationships and ensuring that men’s and boy’s voices aren’t invisible. The organization is also maintaining longstanding traditions, such as working with the CAW 2301 Women’s Committee to hand out white ribbons in December, an awareness campaign for violence. Gender violence is definitely an issue for Kitimat. Crime statistics for Kitimat shows a jump from seven to 12 sexual assaults. Rumley said that’s no small increase for a community of our size.

Particularly since the estimate is that only 19 per cent of sexual assaults are reported. Tamitik executive director Linda Slanina adds that usually only about one per cent of that estimated 19 per cent even make it in to a transition house. Tamitik Status of Women run their own transition house they call Dunmore Place, and Slanina said such a low rate of women making it into a transition house is scary considering their own shelter runs at capacity nearly all the time. Anyone who would like more information about International Women’s Day can find it online at www.internationalwomensday. com.

Where Does The Road Take You?

DQ gets development permit KITIMAT — A development permit was granted to William deHoog, owner of the local Dairy Queen restaurant. The permit will allow for exterior renovations to the building. The plans for the new outside will include new sidings, an outdoor eating area and a drive through service. The pylon sign will also be updated, and include

an electronic sign feature. Public notice was distributed to landowners and nearby businesses however no comment was received. The Downtown Design Panel also reviewed the application and were happy save for three concerns which are addressed in the permit. Those include having a refuse enclosure to maintain safety and aesthetics, that the drive through be safe and clear.

KITIMAT — A public hearing is scheduled for March 18 regarding a proposed amendment to the R3-A Multi-Family Zone. The zoning amendment process had initially been started in response to a proposed development called Strawberry Estates.

However that plan changed and a bylaw was never adopted. Now back to the first reading of a bylaw, administration is asking for the bylaw to include detached, duplex and triplex dwellings as permitted buildings in the zone.

In the Spectacular Northwest Territories, scenic wilderness is everywhere… even just off the highway. Accessible and breathtaking, our parks – such as Twin Falls Gorge Territorial Park – are just steps away from the highway, offering aweinspiring sights such as the incredible Hay River Canyon. Our parks may be mere minutes from the road, but our waterfalls, trails and full-service campgrounds will leave you with memories that will last forever.

The referral to the two cabinet ministers took place March 1 after more than 16 months of study. “This is a milestone day for Avanti in the advancement of the Kitsault Mine environmental assessment and permitting requirements,” said Avanti president Craig Nelsen. “We have been working for over 16 months since we submitted our application with the agencies to get to the point where it can be de-

Staff and students at Charles Hays Secondary School dressed in pink to send a message about the effects of bullying.

Students unite to put an end to bullying By Naomi Kowal The Northern connector

PRINCE RUPERT - As students across Prince Rupert showed their support for anti-bullying on Feb. 27, Charles Hays Secondary School principal Sheila Wells says that bullying is still prevelant in Prince Rupert. “Is bullying an issue? Yes, we’d like to have no bullying,” said Wells. “A lot of times the issues start at parties or on the weekend and they carry into the school on Monday or Tuesday.” While traditional bullying does take place, cyber-bullying is the issue most frequently brought to the attention of administrators. “A lot of times the issues start on the Internet, through chats, texting, and social media,” said Wells. “We deal with cyber-bullying the most.” Charles Hays student council member Seamus McConville agrees. “Honestly a lot of the bullying takes place on the internet nowadays,” he said. There is a silver lining. Despite the fact that bullying does exist, the students and staff at

Charles Hays are taking measures to prevent it, and young people are getting involved in the support for anti-bullying. Weeks prior to the date, student council crew at Charles Hays spent their lunch hours, breaks, and after schools selling pink bracelets and t-shirts and plastering pink posters around the school in hopes of raising awareness for Anti-Bullying Day. After a few weeks of preparation, students of all ages were dressed in pink to show their support. “It was pretty easy to get other students involved because bullying is a big issue, particularly with some of the recent events in the Lower Mainland…It is easier to get students to dress up for something like this because it is a cause people can relate to as opposed to something like a school spirit day,” said McConville. “It makes me happy to see the kids take this seriously because bullying is a problem…It is good to see the students come out and support others who have experienced bullying.” Bullying is still an issue, not just at Charles Hays, but everywhere. However, progress is

being made through things like Anti-Bullying Day to eliminate it altogether. “If we all work together on it I think our students will find out

what bullying constitutes, that most people have been guilty of bullying, and hopefully they will stop some of the behaviour that is so hurtful to others,” said

Wells. “I’m hoping that all the people that are wearing pink to honour AntiBullying Day are also not going to partake in bullying.”

Kitimat author Kathleen Cherry at a book reading for Blowing Bubbles at the Kitimat Public Library.

Kitimat author launches children’s book about a boy and his grandfather By Cameron Orr

The Northern connector

KITIMAT - Inside a colourful, easy to read children’s book, readers are shown the journey of Josh, coming to grips with a grandfather he doesn’t quite understand through circumstances outside anyone’s control. Kathleen Cherry, a local school counsellor, has just had published her first children’s book, called Blowing Bubbles. Children and adults were treated to a reading at a book launch even at the Kitimat Public Library on February 23. Using bubble gum bubbles as the connect-

ing force, the character Josh has to learn to come to grips with his Grandfather George, who has suffered a stroke and is not the same man he used to be. For Cherry, the book didn’t come from any specific episode in her own life, but is the culmination of her life experience. “I’m a school counsellor so I do work a lot with books in general when I’m working with kids, and certainly my parents are getting quite elderly...so not any specific issue. More watching the relationship with my kids and also my students,” she said. The youth and adolescent experience has

drawn her in before. She said she has a few manuscripts, both in children’s book form and chapter books, which deal with things like the teenager experience or one about a 14-year-old autistic person. “I’m always puttering away at it [writing],” she said. None of those others have so far published but the release of Blowing Bubbles through Aaspirations Publishing has her confident that her name will appear on other books to come.

She finds writing to a student audience is a good fit for her. Working in a school, and also working away at a doctorate, gives her that special insight to that age group. Her manuscript Blowing Bubbles was in 2006 and 2009 a finalist in the Writer’s Union of Canada’s Writing for Children competition. Finalizing in that competition gives her manuscript the chance to be picked up by a Canadian publisher. As an author of oth-

er finalist manuscripts, she said she was beginning to feel like the bridesmaid, never the bride, but is very excited to now have a book on shelves. The book is available through Aaspirations Publishing, or on Amazon.ca. Cherry said she is encouraging people who read her book to leave reviews behind. That’s not for sales, but in the hopes that favourable reviews will make getting published in the future easier.

KITIMAT - Kitimat Council has adopted a policy to allow patios on public land. The recommendation came from the Kitimat Downtown Design Guidelines and Official Community Plan encouraging the development of outdoor patios, while the District of Kitimat had no actual policy to refer to. A report to council notes that most businesses only have open spaces in the “public realm” — that includes public squares, roads and parks. The issue went before the Advisory Planning Commission and decided to model a potential policy on the City of Nelson. According to the policy, patios will be permitted as accessories to an adjacent restaurant, coffee shop or licensed establishment. A 1.6 metre walkway is required to remain to allow pedestrian traffic. As well, no amplified music would be allowed to be played at 9 p.m.

TERRACE – Cheryl Wahl, Keri Pearson, and Betty Orr with some of the cookies they bake for Cassie Hall school as part of the community outreach by Terrace Alliance Church. The baking started four years ago when children’s ministry pastor and substitute teacher Jan Gray asked Cassie Hall School how the church could help with any needs at the school. In addition to cookies, the church has gathered winter coats and clothing for students, extra school supplies, backpacks, held a luncheon for the teachers and anything else where help is needed.

Push on to rename Terrace area creek By Josh Massey

The Northern connector

TERRACE - The name Sockeye Creek doesn’t sit right for local residents who have a passion for local history. Terrace city councillor Lynne Christiansen believes the name should be changed back to its original name of Eliza Creek in acknowledgement of an important figure in local history--a female icon central to both aboriginal and settler culture. Eliza was a sister to Kitselas chief Walter Wright and after marrying Tom Thornhill from England, the couple settled down to live in a cabin near the Kitselas Canyon on the Skeena River in 1892. Eliza was also a trapper and would routinely hike to her trapline located near a creek that eventually bore her name. But the name was changed to Sockeye Creek sometime in the 1930s. Both Christiansen and former Thornhill Kitimat-Stikine regional district director Les Watmough have tried unsuccessfully at different times to get the name restored. “We’ve brought it up before but the staff runs into roadblocks and it fades away,” Christiansen said. Christiansen brought up the issue once more at the February Kitimat-Stikine regional district meeting where she sits as a City of Terrace director and last week at a city coun-

cil meeting. Sockeye Creek is wrong for several reasons, said Watmough, explaining that a group of summer surveyors from federal fisheries who came through the area sometime in the 1930s were responsible. The problem began when the surveyors changed the name of a larger creek known to the locals as Sockeye Creek located south of Terrace. “Their leader was a bureaucrat. Williams was his name. They disregarded the local map and changed Sockeye to

Williams,” Watmough said of the surveyors. Having placed the name of the group leader on their own map, Watmough said they now had to find a new creek on which to stick the name sockeye. They found another nearby, the one locals called Eliza. Apparently aware of what he had done, Watmough said, Williams pencilled in the note “officially Eliza Creek” on his survey map. What further riles Watmough is that Sockeye Creek is home to more coho salmon than it is to sockeye.

GATEWAY perspectives

FS 38 Gas Trimmer

Partners for the long term As discussion about Gateway has evolved and progressed with Aboriginal communities in B.C., one thing groups have told us, in unequivocal terms, is that they wanted meaningful, long-term involvement in the labour force. That’s why we established a $3 million Gateway Education and Training Fund. This is an initiative for Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal communities that’s not dependent, in any way, upon Gateway approval. This fund supports training initiatives based in the pipeline, construction, and energy sectors. This isn’t training for the sake of training; it’s focused squarely on employment outcomes. And Enbridge is already connecting industry and community to help create career opportunities in B.C. We’ve already co-funded training programs for surveyors and ironworkers. We’re purchasing seats in existing 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

We’ve heard, loud and clear, from Aboriginal communities in B.C. that they no longer want to be bypassed by economic opportunities created within, near, or around them. With the Gateway Education and Training Fund, we’re doing something about it. We’re showing true commitment to community and workforce development. And the opportunities we’re sponsoring are not exclusive to our proposed project or our industry — they’re regional and cross-sector in nature.

TERRACE - Louise Wernli, left, of Hazelton is on her way to a province-wide French public speaking competition this May as a representative of School District 82 Coast Mountains. The provincial Concours dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;art Oratoire will take place at SFU Surrey and is hosted by Canadian Parents for French BC and Yukon Branch. Wernli, a Grade 12 French Immersion student at Hazelton Secondary, won her trip to the provincial event at the district wide Concours dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;art Oratoire held at Skeena Middle School March 2. Congratulating Wernli on her accomplishment is CPF Terrace Chapter president Carolyn DeFreitas. Forty students from grades 4 to 12 participated in this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s district wide competition, coming from Hazelton, Terrace and Kitimat. Asked why they would enter the competition again next year, student responses varied from â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would attend again because I think it is fun and good practice for a future jobâ&#x20AC;? to â&#x20AC;&#x153;Because I have toâ&#x20AC;?. Others said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good experience and you learn every yearâ&#x20AC;?, or â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was really fun to listen to all the speechesâ&#x20AC;?. Parents and judges certainly agreed with the latter statement.

City supports Snowbirds funding

Did you know?

• Kidney Disease causes death in many people with diabetes and high blood pressure, and raises the risk of a heart attack? • Healthy kidneys reduce the risk of heart attacks and high blood pressure?

By Shaun Thomas The Northern connector

PRINCE RUPERT - Prince Rupert city council has acknowledged they were wrong voting to support the Snowbirds show behind closed doors. Council returned the $7,000 funding request to an open session of council on Feb. 25 to, as council stated, “to be in line with the Community Charter”. Although passed, the motion to provide money to the Snowbirds organizing committee did not receive an overwhelming level of support among the four councillors in attendance. Councillor Anna Ashley, who opposed the initial request for funding, was steadfast in her decision not to give organizers money. “I think the Snowbirds are a great opportunity for the town, but I still disagree with the amount of money put forward,” she said. “The money left over from the Homecoming was not specifically targeted for Snowbirds. It was to come back to council to use for whatever organization they felt were within the community grant guidelines.” With only four councillors in attendance and one vote in opposition, another nay vote would deny organizers the $7,000. Councillor Jennifer Rice voted in favour of giving the money after initially voting against the group’s request, but said it was more so a vote for the people than for her-

Prince Rupert city council voted to provide $7,000 to help bring the Canadian Forces Snowbirds back to town this summer, though some members of council questioned the need for the expense. self. “The reason I initially voted against this was because I did think the amount of money was significant given we’re cutting back on grants for all the regular grantees and given the financial situation of the municipality.... This is not something I am personally in favour of in any overly excited way, but if it is the will of the people then I will vote in favour,” she said. “Personally I wonder about an event of this magnitude in one of the rainiest and cloudiest cities in the country. With all due respect to the organizers of this and the intent, I don’t think this is the most logical community event.” While two councillors spoke against the event, councillor Nel-

son Kinney and Acting Mayor Gina Garon were supportive of the show. “I know the Snowbirds were quite upset when they couldn’t perform last year and said they did want to come back. We have a window of opportunity and I would really hate for this to slip through because it could be another 20 years before they come back,” said Garon. “I do believe this is an event for the whole community and for the region. There is no cost to any individual to come out to attend the event, you can view it from a number of different places in the community and it will bring in people from outlying communities. It brings a bit of an economy to the town.”

Skeena girls win northwest zones Prince Rupert By Contributed

THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

TERRACE - Despite a late start to the season, Skeena’s Grade 8 Girls Basketball went into the 2012/13 Northwest Zones, hosted at Prince Rupert Middle School on Feb. 9, 2013, ranked number one in the league and ended up winning zones. The team struggled with finding a coach at the beginning of the year until Skeena’s Athletic Director, Frank Marrelli, phoned Toni and Kevin Nisyok and asked them to volunteer to coach the girls. The Nisyok’s had a difficult decision to make as almost 30 girls turned out for the first of three tryouts. “We tried to ween out players by running the girls hard at the first two session, however, they all kept up with the work outs and attended the third session,” said Toni Nisyok. “It was very hard to have to drop 14 girls.” The 15 girls that made the squad won seven out of eight games throughout the year, earning their first ranked spot and heading into zones feeling confident. The zones were set up as a one day

event, meaning a “Five Team Single Elimination” tournament format. The five teams to attend were: Prince Rupert Middle School (PRMS), Mount Elizabeth Senior Secondary (MESS), Hazelton, Skeena Middle School (SMS), and Smithers Senior Secondary. The first game saw MESS versus Hazelton at 9:30 a.m. with MESS winning that game. PRMS had the second game against Smithers – with PRMS advancing to the finals. Skeena Middle School played their game at 12:30 p.m. against MESS, a well-fought game with SMS winning 3826. Brittany Peden was the leading scorer with 14 points, followed by Emma Kenmuir with six points; Shivohn Peters dropped four points; and Ashley Nisyok, Michaela Barton, Brianna Ouellet, Megan Bellamy, Marrick Zips, Briana Greer and Caitlyn Amyotte all dropped one bucket to help the team advance to the finals, set for 3:30 p.m later that day. “We knew it was going to be PRMS that we met in the finals” said coach Toni. “The girls were pretty tense about the game so we sat outside the gym in a hud-

dle to talk this over,” she said, noting that to keep spirits calm she even joked about letting them cream the coaches with pie if the team won. “It was all fun and games,” she said. “During the warm up the girls were giggling and asking what kind of pie I liked. I was happy to see them so relaxed. I knew they would come out hard.” Skeena started with Pedan, Kenmuir, Zips, Peters and Nisyok. The girls were told that the subbing would be coming hard and fast so to give it their all – which they did. The starting line up took off with Kenmuir scoring the first bucket and Peden scoring the second before PRMS got on the board. But Skeena pressed on and the score for the first quarter was 10-2 for the Terrace team. The first half ended with SMS outscoring PRMS 22-6, basically putting them out of reach from this point on. The third quarter continued with SMS scoring 12 points to PRMS’ three, making the score 34-11. Nisyok slowed the girls down in the third quarter for a final score of 40-17 for SMS.

The Northern connector

PRINCE RUPERT Prince Rupert sent eight swimmers to Victoria for BC’s short course AAA Provincials Championships. It was a record setting meet for the club as the team matched it’s high for both finals reached (18) and medals won (7) at the competition. Leading the way was Avery Movold (12), who won a trio of bronze medals in the 50 freestyle, 100 freestyle, and 100 backstroke. She also made finals in the 800 freestyle (4th), 200 backstroke (5th), 200 freestyle (5th) and 400 freestyle (8th). Her combined scores from

those events was enough to earn her Swim BC’s Regional Athlete Development award as the top swimmer from the Northwest Region. Her times in the 50, 100 and 800 freestyle all set new Prince Rupert club records. Right behind her with a trifecta of medals was Liam McChesney (11). Liam won the silver medal in the 50 freestyle, along with the bronze medals in the 100 freestyle and 100 backstroke. His 1:13.56 time in the 100 backstroke qualified him to swim in the Far Western Championship Swim Meet in California. A meet that the club will be attending in August. It was a weekend of near misses for

Amy Leighton (11). She opened the meet by winning the silver medal in the 800 freestyle and then three times just missed reaching the podium again. Amy came 4th in the 400 IM and both the 200 & 400 freestyle, she made one other final, coming 7th in the 200 breaststroke. Her 10:22.77 time in the 800 freestyle was good

for both her first 12 & under AAA time and to earn her first Far Western qualifying time. Quinn Basso (15) earned a pair of second swims, coming 7th in the 400 IM and 8th in the 200 breaststroke. His time of 4:57.95 in the 400 IM was his fourth Far Western qualifying time. Brandan Hagen (15) earned a final

of his own with a 7th place finish in the 100 breaststroke. He made a new AAA time in the 200 IM clocking in at 2:22.61. He also made his first two Far Western cuts with times of 1:11.48 and 2:38.87 in the 100 and 200 breaststrokes respectively. Trey Kish (13) made one final, an 8th place finish in the 100 freestyle.

His time of 1:01.19 was enough for a new AAA time. Trey also swam on a Points North relay team, with swimmers from Kitimat and Smithers, that came 7th in the 14 & under boys 4x 100 freestyle. Sarah McChesney (16) swam a new AAA time in the 200 backstroke, coming in at 2:26.91. Her best fin-

ish was a 13th in the 800 freestyle. Cyrus Sobredo (16) didn’t make any new standards but he swam three new best times and topped out at 25th in the 100 breaststroke. The club now turns right around and heads to Smithers this weekend for the fourth regional meet of the season.
