Another refinery proposed

Very odd couple…

By Shaun Thomas THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - Plans for an oil refinery on the North Coast are underway, although discussions are very preliminary in nature.

A letter from Lax Kw’alaams Mayor Garry Reece to members of the band indicates a meeting took place on Oct. 4 in the community, “to provide Eagle Spirit Energy an opportunity to present their idea on the construction of an oil refinery and the shipment of oil from Grassy Point”.

Feds get an earful at LNG summit held in Prince George ural resources,” he said.

“Over the next 10 years, as much as $650 billion could be invested in natural resource development in Canada.

He pointed out, however, that LNG will not sell itself and that is why he is travelling overseas to promote Canada’s resources.

“Canada is a reliable source of energy in a frequently unstable world,” he said, adding Canada needs to diversify its market and the rest of the world needs to diversify its supply. And that takes securing long-term contracts for LNG. However, some in the crowd of about 400 were unconvinced.

Kitimat council looks into landfill openings

By Cameron Orr THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

KITIMAT - Kitimat Council has sent for a report from administration that looks into the implications, including cost, of opening the landfill on Tuesdays, the only day of the week it currently does not open.

The request to staff came after Phil Germuth moved for the District of Kitimat to “work to reopen the municipal landfill on Tuesdays,” as well as reviewing their hours of operation.

“The Tuesday landfill closure is one impact we can control to help local businesses,” said Germuth, saying that he’s had many discussions with business owners and contractors who are affected by the Tuesday closure.

As an example, he said a contractor excavating drain tiles on a Monday may find they can’t complete before the landfill closes, meaning they have a full trailer of waste that would have to wait until Wednesday, possibly impacting operations on Tuesday.

Meanwhile he also wants the hours looked at, suggesting that the current 1 p.m. to 8 p.m. weekday schedule is helpful to shift workers but might actually be inefficient.

He said the landfill contractor is open to have a conversation with the Council on that subject.

Instead of wanting the motion to pass as is, Mario Feldhoff moved that it be tabled until the District staff could provide a report on the implications and cost.

“Councillor Germuth brings up good points, they all may be very accurate but there may be other points from the perspective of the staff that I would very much like to reflect upon,” he said.

He said he only anticipated that it be tabled for a week or two to get

the input from staff.

While he wasn’t sure what the staff report would eventually contain, he said it’s possible they may even find it more beneficial to put extra money into recycling rather than the landfill.

Recycling is fast becoming an issue in other communities as well.

Rob Goffinet sided with Feldhoff, saying they’re being “prudent” to ask for the report.

The tabling motion passed unanimously.

Tl’azt’len Nation. “It’s never changed its tune.”

He drew applause from the crowd when he pointed out that the federal government helps companies pursue resource extraction opportunities, “but what have you given First Nations?”

There was also concern raised that while there is lots of talk about liquefied natural gas and the economic opportunities, the environment seems to be overlooked.

“No one is speaking for Mother Earth,” said Salteau First Nations Chief Harley Davis.

He pointed out that the Japanese ambassador to Canada, Norihiro Okuda, told the crowd that Japan can take LNG for the next 125 years.

“We won’t survive 125 years of sucking that stuff out of the ground,” Davis said.

Grand Chief Edward John added that he hears lots of discussion that everything to do with LNG, pipelines, and environmental protection, will be world-class.

“What is missing is a world-class standard for indigenous rights,” he said, adding that those world-class standards

PET OF THE WEEK

PRINCE GEORGE Natural Resources Minister Joe Oliver told the B.C. First Nations LNG Summit that there will be “respectful engagement” of First Nations when it comes to resource extraction and development.

“Our plan makes the regulatory process more protective of the environment by focusing resources on the major projects that can have significant impacts,” he told the crowd in Prince George Oct. 11.

He stressed that Canada must be competitive if it is to compete on the global stage.

“If we permit our resources to be stranded, we will squander our

legacy and forgo enormous social and economic benefits for now, and future generations,” he said.

He stressed that Ottawa will not allow projects that harm the environment to proceed.

Natural resource development means employment for First Nations communities, he said.

“Aboriginal engagement is not only a Crown responsibility, it is industry’s best interest to engage and consult,” he said.

As for LNG, Oliver said there is tremendous potential in British Columbia, adding that three licences have been approved and more are under review.

“The opportunity is not just LNG, it’s all nat-

Ferry at Usk marks centenary

The Northern Connector Friday, October 18, 2013

www.bclocalnews.com /bc_north A5

By Margaret Speirs THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

TERRACE - The single remaining ferry service on the Skeena River is still going strong as it turns 100-years-old this year.

Dan Hamilton was the Usk ferry man for 10 years and says he knew of seven ferries on the Skeena River and that this one is quite unique.

“It runs off the biggest motor there is, the Skeena River,” he says. The ferry goes with the current, which wants to push it downstream, and an overhead cable suspended by towers is anchored on each riverbank. Another cable attaches the ferry to the overhead cable and rudders are used to steer it across the river.

“You turn it into the current and the current is trying to push it downstream, but it’s tethered so it has to shoot across [the water],” says Hamilton.

It’s a very simple design, he adds. When the ferry was switched from its wooden construction to steel, around 1947, a counterweight was added, he says.

The ferry’s wooden pontoons, which were lost in a flood in 1947, were replaced with steel pontoons.

The original wooden ferry was constructed in 1913 and run privately until the government took it over in the early 1920s, says Hamilton.

It was installed because Usk was an important station on the railway and the area was being promoted as having great agricultural and recreational

A Year of Careful Study In June 2012, TransCanada PipeLines announced the Coastal GasLink Project, to safely deliver natural gas from the Groundbirch area, near Dawson Creek, B.C., to the proposed LNG Canada gas liquefaction facility to be developed by Shell Canada Ltd. and its partners near Kitimat, B.C. We began with a “conceptual corridor” based on aerial inspection, available maps and renderings. We then met with First Nations, landowners, local government officials and northern B.C. residents to find opportunities to improve our plan and avoid social and environmental areas of concern.

We made significant adjustments to the corridor based on this input and narrowed our focus to a two-kilometre-wide “study corridor.”

During 2013, we have sent hundreds of scientists, engineers and technicians into the field to travel along the corridor, test rocks and soils, study rivers and streams, and gather information about plant and animal life. First Nations community members have shared traditional ecological knowledge through many of our field studies.

Using the information we have gathered, we are developing a proposed pipeline route. Our route proposal will be part of our application to the BC Environmental Assessment Office, and our application to the BC Oil and Gas Commission. We are grateful to the communities of northern B.C. for their constructive contributions to this process.

If you are unable to attend, but would like more information you can contact us by email (coastalgaslink@transcanada.com) or by phone at 1.855.633.2011 (toll-free).

TransCanada is Canada’s largest builder and operator of natural gas pipelines. We have been in business in B.C. for 50 years. We are proud of our track record of working with communities and operating safely.

It’s a nice challenge though, it’s something I’m looking forward to,” said Sousa, who joined Mouland in costume in the theatre for this article.

Mouland said that she was approached for the co-hosting duties, but felt confident knowing she’d have Sousa on stage with her.

“When I was approached to co-host with Sally I thought if I’m ever going to do it, being with Sally would certainly make it fun, and we could sink or swim together,” she said.

They say there will be a number of favourites performing, from Luso Dancers to gymnasts, and the magic show with Edwin Empinado.

“A lot of singing, a lot of dancing,” said Sousa.

The telethon, which will run from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., will be closed out at the end of the night with local band Swamp Water.

The two say that while Monique Miller left large shoes with her stint hosting, they’re not seeking to simply copy the formula she left behind.

“Monique probably had that feeling as well having to fill in for Doug Smith who had done it since the beginning,” said Sousa. “He was an institution here, and Monique was able to successfully fill his shoes by doing her own kind of thing.”

Mouland agrees.

“She certainly did leave some big shoes, and we’re not even going to try to fill them.

So we actually bought a new pair of shoes,” she said. “And we’re going to go with a totally different style.”

The pair certainly play well off each other and it’s clear that there will be a lot of humour throughout the show.

“We’re okay with being goofy, coming out in costumes. I’m willing to challenge Kitimat to raise a certain amount in an hour, and I’ll come out in a goofy costume for my next hour hosting stint,” said Sousa.

“And I will be willing to support her doing that,” said Mouland.

Jokes aside, they say they have some tricks up their sleeves so they didn’t reveal too much of what to expect from

Cleaners and sanitizers are a big open-ended subject.

There are a variety of cleaners and sanitizers. I prefer to use non-rinse formulas for sanitizing and I use Sani-Brew for cleaning. Sani- Brew is the commercial name for Diversol, which comprises a chlorine base with surfactants added to penetrate the soils left behind from brewing. Not all soils are visible to the naked eye; as a matter of fact, the most damaging soils are microscopic nitrates. These nitrates form a rough surface where bacteria can hide from sanitizers.

them, but they did emphasize that the show takes a tremendous volunteering effort from everyone involved to put it on this year, and the whole team is committed to beating last year’s total, which was around

Step one is to mix a proper solution of Sani-Brew to clean your tools. Mix of one teaspoon Sani-Brew to one litre cold water. Mix enough to soak the tools and to use a soft cloth to wash with. With fifteen minutes of soak time, Sani-brew will lift most brewing soils, but longer soak times are sometimes necessary. Longer soak times will not harm your equipment whereas bleach will. Every surface that comes in contact with the wine needs to be cleaned. This is important as the next step is sanitizing and what is not clean cannot be sanitized.

PUBLIC NOTICE OF ROAD CLOSURE A part of the Kitimat Modernization Project, the transportation of large equipment modules will take place on Smeltersite Road during October 2013.

This will involve five events, up to four hours each.

Tentative dates and times are: Tuesday, 15 October 9am Friday,

18 October 9am

Tuesday, 22 October 9am Friday,

25 October 9am

At those times Smelterside Road will be closed between Gate 15 and Hospital Beach.

Please be vigilant when driving on Smeltersite Road.

Step two is sanitizing your equipment. This is a separate step from washing. There are several types of sanitizers available. Sani-Brew can be used as a sanitizer as long as there is enough to totally immerse the equipment and leave everything to soak for fifteen minutes. Use fresh Sani-Brew as the washing liquid will be contaminated. Fifteen minutes later thoroughly rinse a couple of times with hot potable water. Sani– Brew is a chlorine-based product. Chlorine in very small quantities totally ruins a wines flavor so make sure to do this before proceeding. Either potassium or sodium metabisulfite can be used interchangeably with little difference between them for strength. It is the carrier that is different. When using Metabisulfite it is the gas that sanitizes, so everything that will contact the wine during mixing should be put into your loose- lidded fermenter. The proper mixing is four litres water to fifty grams of sulfite. One quarter cup of the metabisulfite mixture is sufficient. The mixture should sit with the lid closed for fifteen minutes to allow the gas to do its work. You do not have to rinse a metabisulfite type of sanitizer. A quality no-rinse hydrogen based sanitizer is Oxy- San. With Oxy-San, one tablespoon OxySan crystals to four litres warm water is the correct mix. It is mixed well and sprayed on to the surface or surface rinsed and poured out. One minute of contact and the surface is sanitized. Any extra can be shaken off the equipment. After twenty-four hours, the OxySan turns into oxygen and water. It is the oxygen that does the actual sanitizing with this style of sanitizer.

School district needs $1.4 million

By Martina Perry THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

cant challenge overall to balance the budget over the next year,” McIntyre said, adding there are additional cost pressures expected beyond the $1.4 million.

“Eighty-six per cent of our costs are wages, and in order to find $1.4 million in the budget there really is not much question that there will be some degree of staffing reductions in 20142015,” McIntyre later said.

Tina Last, board chair, said the district is between a rock and a hard place with the decision.

“As the employers we want to recTina Last ognize the value of our employees ... I don’t think anyone anticipated that local boards of educations were expected to find that increase. We all know it should happen, it’s just how,” she said.

“We’ve got some hard decisions to make going forward, and it looks like it’s going to be on the backs of our teachers and support staff. That’s not the first and foremost thing we want to look at,” Trustee Janet Beil said, adding the district should look into selling old schools to gain much-needed funds.

In the meantime, the district does have a number of cost-saving ideas and is planning to meet with teachers and support staff to talk about the possible impacts of the framework agreement. To prepare, the board will start its budget consultation process early in the year.

Feeding time…

“I don’t think anyone expected local boards ... were expected to find that increase.”

PRINCE RUPERT - The Prince Rupert School District expects it will have to cut jobs next year to make ends meet.

School District 52’s board of education has to find more than $1.4 million in cost savings to balance the coming school year’s budget following a new provincial framework agreement to give raises to school support staff.

Secretary-treasurer Cam McIntyre, said an agreement for support staff wage increases in British Columbia has required school boards in every British Columbia school district to create a savings plan for the current and upcoming school year to fund the raise in pay.

More than $100,000 in savings is needed this year, and almost $200,000 the following year.

In terms of the 2013-2014 school year, McIntyre said there are three things that could cover the wage hike, the first being an unrestricted surplus still available in the budget. Furthermore, the district’s director of instruction, Ken Minette, is working half-time and one of two speech pathologists budgeted for this year is away on leave.

“The combination of those three things will allow the board to fund those wage increases in the first year without having to take from other aspects,” McIntyre said.

But in the following school year, a steeper increase in support staff pay, as part of the agreement amongst other factors, will make balancing the budget more difficult.

Ongoing changes to funding protection will mean the district will have $371,736 less in funding in the 2014-2015 school year. The biggest factor, said McIntyre, is that the board approved the current year’s budget by using the majority of what was left in surplus to balance the budget. McIntyre said the surplus of $857,196 will be gone by the end of the current year.

Additionally, the support staff contract will once again increase, with $193,035 needed to be found. Together with the other factors, Prince Rupert’s school board will have to deal with a cost pressure of $1,421,967.

“The board is going to be facing a very signifi-

B.C. oil spill response found to be lacking Train noise to be studied

By Tom Fletcher THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

VICTORIA - The B.C. environment ministry has released its promised study of the current state of crude oil spill response capability, tracking the growing tonnage of petroleum shipping along the west coast and estimating response time and effectiveness if oil was to spill at sea.

Oil recovery in computer simulated oil spills could be as high as 25 per cent after five days, or as low as four per cent for Alaska crude, with another quarter evaporating.

The study was commissioned to back up Premier Christy Clark’s conditions for B.C.’s approval of expanded heavy oil shipments, either from twinning the TransMountain pipeline from northern Alberta to Burnaby, or the proposed Enbridge Northern Gateway project across northern B.C. to a new tanker port at Kitimat.

Environment Minister Mary Polak said the study shows the need to increase response capability before the B.C. Government would consider increased oil shipments.

“While we respect federal jurisdiction over marine spills, we must ensure B.C.’s interests are being met, and that means adding more resources to protect our coast,” Polak said.

North Coast MLA Jennifer Rice said she was not surprised by the report, and said it is yet another example of why shipping oil is a bad idea.

“It is pretty telling and frightening if we are ill-equipped for a spill now, not to mention the different proposals on the North Coast,” she said.

The three-volume report also details the huge and growing traffic that exists now.

Shipping data shows a 17 per cent increase in marine traffic volume from 2011 to 2012. An estimated 110 million cubic metres of petroleum products per year are shipped, about a third of which is crudelike bunker oil carried as fuel on ships of all kinds. The biggest tanker cargo is 38 million cubic metres of mostly Alaska crude a year.

The study includes recovery estimates for seven oil spill scenarios, six of which assumed a spill of Alaska North Slope

crude that has been shipped by tankers down the B.C. coast to U.S. refineries since the 1970s. Two scenarios involve an Alaska crude spill in Dixon Entrance, with four per cent recovery in summer and three per cent in winter.

One scenario examines a summer-time spill of diluted bitumen in the Juan de Fuca Strait, with response from Canadian and U.S. ships and oil recovery equipment. It estimated 31 per cent oil recovery after five days, in summer conditions with daylightonly operations.

Diluted bitumen tanker shipments from Kinder Morgan Canada’s Burnaby terminal hit a high of 69 in 2010.

The expansion would mean 300 tankers a year in and out of Vancouver harbour.

PORT EDWARD - Industry and government are coming together to study train noise associated with port activity on the North Coast.

Consultants will be arriving in the region on Friday to begin collecting data and readings from the noise created as coal cars, container cars and grain cars make their way through Port Edward.

The project is expected to cost approximately $37,000 and that amount is being split between the district and four industry partners — the Prince Rupert Port Authority, Maher Terminals, Ridley Terminals and Prince Rupert Grain.

Port Edward chief administrative officer Ron Bedard said the businesses involved were quick to jump onboard.

Truck sucked into Skeena during search

By Josh Massey

THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

TERRACE - Many noteworthy side stories came out of the search for Ike Murray and Michael Devlin Sabo, of small feats of heroism, as well as close calls and regrettable missteps.

One such story concerns the pickup truck and boat trailer, owned by volunteer Calvin Kerr, both of which were completely sucked underwater into the Skeena River on the last day of the first official search, Sept. 29.

Kerr had been helping ferry loads of volunteers across the river to the search area and was winching his boat onto his trailer at the Devil’s Elbow boat launch with the help of two other volunteers.

That’s when they heard a loud bang, immediately after which the truck and trailer rolled down the launch ramp to then be sucked into the swift-flowing Skeena.

Scott McGinlay, one of those helping Kerr, said there was every potential for people to be knocked into the river as the truck swept toward them.

“People almost died here,” said McGinlay who believes the bang people heard was a pin or mechanism breaking that then released the truck. Jumping out of the way, he then saw the truck get swept out into the currents.

McGinlay ran to his own boat a short dis-

tance upriver and floated down to help while Kerr, who stayed in his boat that was still tied to the sinking trailer, desperately tried to slow the descent by putting his river boat in reverse.

That’s when Kerr called out to McGinlay to free his Labrador pup-

py that was in the back seat of the truck floating away.

“He yelled out ‘my dog!’ said McGinlay, who had floated down beside the almost completely submerged truck.

“I smashed the back window out with my axe and I cleaned the

rest of the glass out with my hand,” McGinlay said. “The poor puppy is stuck in the back seat, and I had to go into the sinking truck to get the dog out, holding onto the boat with my legs, and I went up to the shoulders to grab the puppy.”

McGinlay said Kerr

is currently exploring insurance options on his truck and trailer. As of late last week, both were still lost.

Trailer court residents put rumours to bed

By Cameron Orr THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

KITIMAT — The residents of the Jed Stumps trailer court in Kitimat can breath a little easier now that rumours have been put to rest about the future of their home.

Residents had been working off hearsay and rumours following the sale of the property, with many worried they

were quickly going to be kicked out, and left with no place to go.

If it turned out they had to leave, many weren’t sure where they would go. Even the trailer court next door to them could only take on four from Jed Stumps, said Avalene Turner at a gathering of concerned residents at the Northwest Community College on October 8.

Holler and Orchestra on tonight

Turner and Kitimat’s Housing Resource Worker Anne Moyls put together the meeting, which was intended to also include the new owners of the property but, while they couldn’t be there, Mayor Joanne Monaghan and District of Kitimat planner Daniel Martin were to hear concerns and to provide information as needed.

Monaghan was able

to relay information she had received from the owners, which was that nothing is happening to the trailer court for at least a year, if even at all.

She said the new owner is planning a meeting with residents in the notto-distant future.

“I think a lot of people relaxed,” said Turner.

“The rumours are gone, the gossip is gone.”

She said there’s still a

lingering fear of it being shut down after a year but everyone now knows the eventual process of how that would happen, if it were to happen.

“We heard rumours it’s going to be bulldozed, and we’re out of here in a month,” said about the residents prior to their meeting.

So now it’s wait and see what happens after a year.

“We Don’t Sell - We Help you Buy”

KITIMAT — If you missed the opening performance of Kitimat’s Concert Association’s season, not to worry. Montreal Guitar Trio entertained our city to rave reviews, but the next show should be equally exciting.

Woody Holler and his Orchestra are coming to town. He is a mixture of the past and the present.

His influences include Gene Autry and Roy Rogers, but also include the classic blues style of Jimmy Rogers and the ‘danceable’ swing of Bob Willis and The Texas Playboys. He attempts to pay tribute to the past while yodeling like he is from the Switzerland of the present.

He has a pitch perfect voice that rises and falls like a big prairie moon and a lyrical yodel that dances around the jingle-jangle of an old guitar. Holler’s nostalgia extends beyond the Western genre into the present. His “jazz from the saddle” style has earned him accolades such as a Canadian Folk Music Awards nominations. An evening with this outstanding musician will leave you longing for a simpler time.

The concert will be at the MET on October 18, tonight. Tickets can be purchased at the door or in advance at Hollywood Video.

Prince Rupert needing $148 million for infrastructure

By Shaun Thomas THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - The City of Prince Rupert has nearly $150 million in needed infrastructure projects in the coming years.

That was the message chief financial officer Corinne Bomben gave the Select Standing Committee on Finance and Government Services during a budget consultation meeting held in Prince Rupert on Oct. 9. Bomben outlined three major areas of concerns, the first of which has to do with how residents get their water.

“We have a 100-year-old dam and raw water supply line ... some of our redundancy pumps in the event of waterline damage are so old that the original manufacturers told us to call a museum if we need parts,” she told the committee.

“We have identified that to replace the components of the water system, upgrade the dam and put in an access road will cost taxpayers approximately $12 million. In addition to the main system, approximately 25 per cent of

“Prince Rupert lacks the revenue to invest in the infrastructure.”

Corinne Bomben

our main trunk water systems in the city are pre-1925 lines.”

The second concern is one of road safety — one that must be addressed sooner rather than later.

“We have three wooden trestle bridges that are over 70 years old. We have boasted to the Premier that we are the world authority on keeping them going ... two of these bridges connect two of our major subdivisions,” she explained.

“These are to be replaced at a cost of approximately $2 million each, and we expect the load limits for these bridges will be down-

graded in the interest of public safety.”

The third and final need is by far the largest – a way of keeping raw sewage out of the harbour.

“Liquid waste regulations are requiring our community to do secondary treatment of our liquid waste. We currently don’t even have primary treatment. We have 12 direct outflows into the harbour. The treatment facilities that will be required and the separation of the storm and sewer lines are estimated at approximately $130 million,” she said.

The main message to the committee was, simply, Prince Rupert needs help if it is going to meet the needs of growing with the industrial development proposed for the region.

“Our city is made up of approximately 14,000 people. Our people can’t do this alone. With industrial developments years from adding to our community’s tax base, Prince Rupert lacks the revenue to invest in the infrastructure that will enable the economic development to support the unprecedented interest for industrial development in the Northwest.”

SHAUN THOMAS / THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

Replacing three old wooden trestle bridges is expected to cost $6 million.

Machete needed to save dog from wolf attack near Miller Bay

By Shaun Thomas THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - Robert Moses White knows his dog is lucky to be alive following an attack by two wolves at Miller Bay on Tuesday morning.

White was taking his German weinheimer on the pair’s typical walk to the point at 10:30 a.m., when the dog disappeared around a corner and vicious growls filled the air.

“She barked at them twice, and then they had her just like that. They must have been right on the treeline ... the one had her by the ear and the other tooth was in her eyeball, and the other was yanking on her throat when I came around the corner,” he said.

“If I had been 30 seconds later, she would have died.”

But in this case, it took more than yelling and an aggressive charge and loud shouts from White to get the wolves off his pet.

“They would not let my dog go. I ran up, I started yelling at them and they just kept yanking on her. I just thought, ‘oh my God, they’re not going to stop’,” he said.

“I was just lucky, I don’t go out in the woods without protection so I brought my machete with me. I had to actually hit them ...

I ran in right next to them and

Blood and scars around the eyes are just one sign of the wolf attacked suffered by Robert White’s dog. as soon as I did one let go, but the other one didn’t back off and didn’t realize its partner had left.

I had to smack it in the head, and then it let go. Even then they only backed off six feet, and I thought they were coming back.”

The dog survived the attack, but suffered deep gashes to its

eyes, ears and body. White said regardless of the size of the dog, people should never underestimate the damage that wolves can do.

“I didn’t realize how big they are when you get up close to them. They’re big, they made my dog look tiny,” he said.

It’s time to care

By Bonnie Pearson

THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

VANCOUVER - It’s time to care for the people who care for seniors and others, says the secretary-business manager for the Hospital Employee’s Union.

Bonnie Pearson made the comment in recognizing Oct. 18 as Health Care Assistant Day. In B.C.’s residential care facilities, for example, it has become typical for care aides to try and meet the needs of their often frail, elderly residents, without being given enough time to do the job. HEU is calling for the changes needed to ensure staff have the time they need to provide quality care.

Northwest posts third best jobs total in the province TERRACE - Northwestern BC now has the third lowest jobless rate of any region in the province, behind only the northeast and the Kootenays, indicates data released today

by Statistics Canada.

And at 5.5 per cent for September, the northwest is doing better than the provincial average of

6.7 per cent. The jobless rate is also nearly half of Sept. 2012’s 10.5 per cent and an improvement over August’s 6.2 per cent.

The statistics indicate the labour force in the area from the north coast to just this side of Vanderhoof in September was 43,700 people with 41,300 working and 2,400 un-

employed. The labour force in September 2012 was 42,900 people with 38,400 working and 4,500 unemployed.

September’s figures reflect a continuing improvement in the regional economy, much different than even two years ago when the jobless percentage rate was con-

sistently in the low and mid teens, placing the region consistently in last place.

The Lower Mainland had the highest jobless rate of any region in the province in September at 7.1 per cent with the Thompson-Okanagan next at 6.8 per cent and the Cariboo following at 6.5 per cent.

Vancouver Island had a jobless rate of 6.2 per cent with the northeast coming in at 4.9 per cent and Kootenays having the lowest jobless rate in the province at just 3 per cent.

The northwest jobless rate is not the number of people collecting Employment Insurance.

Happy 300th!

By Bruce Penton

THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

You most likely missed the milestone that went zipping by last week.

In fact, I was the only one who noticed it, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worth sharing: Last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s column was No. 300 since this exercise began back in late 2007.

Those who know me know about my penchant for statistics, so 300 columns at an average of 825 words per column, many of them pertinent, comes to a grand total of 247,500 words. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only 2,500 away from a quarter of a million, or approximately the number of dollars earned by Alex Rodriguez for playing two games of baseball for the Yankees.

My first column offering was sent out in December, 2007, and zoned in on Tiger Woods and his chase for 18 majors. He was at 13 then and after winning his 14th the next summer at Torrey Pines, his life spiralled into about 63 different directions and he hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t won a major since.

Column No. 2 asked the question: Whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s better â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Martin or Howard, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still having that discussion six years later as Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best curling teams prepare for the Olympic trials in Winnipeg in December. Other names are in that Martin-Howard mix, though, such as Stoughton, McEwen, Koe, Jacobs and Gushue.

Column No. 3 was about the George Mitchell report. If that name doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ring a bell, Mitchell was responsible for the report on performance-enhancing drugs in baseball and in the six years since, the stain on the game has become indelible.

So what have the columns been about since?

Hockey and baseball lead the way, naturally. Eightyseven columns have been about NHL-related topics while major-league baseball was the focus in 67 others. And for those who suggest I have a Tiger Woods fetish, they may be right: 44 menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s golf columns were written, and probably half of those were about Tiger. He was quite the newsmaker, though, over the last five years, and I make no apologies.

Topics have varied greatly, however. Thirty-five columns were about football â&#x20AC;&#x201D; 16 CFL-related and 19 about the NFL. Sixteen were about curling and 11 centred on womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s golf. Eleven others were Olympics-related and eight featured junior hockey in Canada. During my recent count, I found four about tennis and three about the NBA (sorry, hoopsters). The other 14 were categorized under â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;miscellaneousâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x201D; auto racing, negativity in sports, snowboarding, year-end quips roundups, etc.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not naive enough to think that readers scan this space weekly for my words of wisdom at the top. The most popular part, obviously, is the series of quips in the latter portion and for that, I give great thanks to some of the funniest people Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve encountered and from whom I steal (and liberally attribute): Dwight Perry of Seattle, RJ Currie of Calgary, Janice Hough and Scott Ostler of San Francisco, Greg Cote of Miami, Brad Dickson of Omaha, Cam Hutchinson of Saskatoon, Ian Hamilton of Regina, Norman Chad of Washington and Alex Kaseberg of whoknows-where, and many others. They all add to my chucklefest weekly and, on behalf of my readers, I thank them.

This is Column No. 301. Plenty more to come. â&#x20AC;˘ Norman Chad of the Washington Post, on Twitter: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bengals just got roughing-the-passer penalty for not saying, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Bless you,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; when Tom Brady sneezed.â&#x20AC;? Another one from Chad: â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you go to an NFL game, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re surrounded by people who, if they were with you on a cruise, you would jump off the ship. I went to a Raiders-Chargers game once; I wouldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve felt safer at a Manson family reunion.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;˘ Cote again: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nick Saban suspended Alabama star safety Ha Ha Clinton-Dix for violating team rules. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find that funny,â&#x20AC;? said Ha Ha.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;˘ Currie again: â&#x20AC;&#x153;NASCARâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Danica Patrick will co-host the American Country Awards. And why not? Her marriage broke up, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got a dog, drives a Chevy and all her chases end in heartache.â&#x20AC;?

Rampage fall to Demons on home ice

By Todd Hamilton

THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - The lights were on but the power was out at the Jim Ciccone Civic Centre on Saturday night.

The Kitimat Ice Demons remained undefeated and atop of the CIHL West Division standings after they narrowly escaped Prince Rupert with a 3-1 win over the Rampage.

Although the injury-plagued Ice Demons, who were missing eight regulars out of the lineup, picked up their third straight win to begin the season, the sixth-year Rupert Rampage franchise served notice that a trip to the coast isn’t the easy two points it once was.

Despite a sluggish start, the Rampage dominated the final 35 minutes of the game but failed to capitalize on two separate 5-on-3 powerplay opportunities.

“Killing those [5-on-3s] were big turning points no doubt,” Ice Demons head coach Cliff Madsen said. “Rupert was a game team tonight, they had us pressured ... with a little luck they could have won, but that was a huge win for us.”

Rampage head coach Roger Atchison also pointed to the lack of powerplay production as a key factor, especially with a pair of twoman advantage opportunities.

“It just wasn’t our night. Kitimat did a pretty good job blocking the lanes for sure. We never got the easy shot through and that was the difference tonight, we just never had good enough net presence.

“We couldn’t buy a goal until late in the game and our powerplay has gotta be worked on.”

Atchison also wasn’t happy with how the Rampage came out of the gate, but was pleased with the club’s rally in the second and third

TODD HAMILTON/ THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

Prince Rupert Rampage’s Ryan Fuzi squares off with Kitimat Ice Demon John Aiken during second period CIHL action on Saturday at the Jim Ciccone Civic Centre. periods.

“I just thought, in the first, they pushed us around a little bit, they just took it to us in our own building ... I wasn’t happy with our overall effort in the first but in the second two [periods] there was a little more compete,” he said.

While the focus may have been on the offence or lack of it, both coaches were quick to credit their netminders.

Second-year Ice Demons netminder Tom Mildenberger stymied the Rampage for two-and-a-half pe-

riods making a number of spectacular saves during Rampage powerplays.

“He’s just been awesome,” Madsen said. “He just came back from holidays and hasn’t had a lot of ice time ... he’s really carrying on the tradition of great Kitimat goaltending.”

Atchison credits Rampage netminder Keano Wilson for keeping Prince Rupert in the game especially during the first period.

“When we lost momentum there, he made some big, key

stops and kept us hanging around,” Atchison said.

Kitimat took an early 1-0 lead about five minutes in when Derek Delisser converted on a give-andgo off an offensive zone forecheck turnover. Early in the second, the Ice Demons went up by two after Derek Wakita found a loose puck in a scrum in front of the Rampage net and jammed it home past Wilson.

Midway through the second, the Rampage had their first two-man advantage but failed to beat Mildenberger and stubborn Ice Demons

shotblocking registering just three shots on net. At the 6:28 mark of the third following a dustup behind the Ice Demons net, the Rampage went on their second 5-on-3 but again were stymied with Ice Demons forward Kyle Boudreault blocking five shots during the two-minute Rampage 5-on-3 powerplay.

Ironically, the Rampage made a real game of it with just over four minutes to play in the third with a shorthanded goal. Rampage penalty killer Justin Fontaine intercepted a pass at his own blueline and outhustled the Ice Demons defence to go in alone on Mildenberger. Fontaine, despite being harassed from behind, managed to slide the puck under Mildenberger and break up the shutout bid.

The Rampage rally was finally killed with just less than a minute to go when, with Wilson pulled in favour of the extra attacker, Kitimat’s Josh Slanina corralled a rebound off a shotblock and backhanded the puck the length of the ice into Rupert’s empty net.

Mildenberger turned aside 31 of 32 shots while Wilson made 20 saves on 22 shots for the Rampage.

Referee Greg Gireav handed out 104 minutes in penalties, including six misconducts in front of a crowd of 520 at the Civic Centre.

Around the league The Lac La Hache Tomahawks dropped the Quesnel Kangaroos 6-2 while the Terrace River Kings and the Williams Lake Stampeders split a doubleheader. The River Kings took Game 1, 3-0 with the Stampeders taking the second game on Sunday, 7- 5. The Smithers Steelheads shut out the Houston Luckies 5-0 on Friday.

TERRACE - Athletes from Atlantis Taekwondo are in Edmonton for the International Chang-Hon Taekwondo Federation (ICTF) 10th Anniversary World Cup, this weekend, Oct. 18 and 19.

And Nationals were held in Edmonton this year, so the club will be competing on familiar turf (or, rather, mats).

“There will be eight or nine countries competing at this World Cup,” said 4th degree instructor Cody Skog.

“I am honored to have such skill to represent my club at Worlds.

These students are at a very high

calibre – even if they don’t place, their matches are going to be very exciting to watch.”

The club has been training nearly seven hours a week in the club, plus the extra training outside of club hours.

After Worlds, the club hunkers down for the winter, training and gearing up for Atlantis Taekwondo’s massive spring break tournament.

There are also rumblings of an all black belt event here in Terrace in the near future.

The first ICTF World Cup was held in Edmonton in 2003 and events have taken place in countries all over the world since the organization was founded.

By Anna Killen THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

TERRACE - Members of the Terrace Skating Club headed to Prince George Oct. 4 to 6 for the High Performance Development Seminar, hosted this year by the Cariboo North Central Region, featuring veteran guest coaches from all over Western Canada.

“It was amazing to see skaters from all over the province,” said the club’s Elaine Sanchez.

The weekend started with a Mini Jamboree – a fun competition to ‘break the ice’ between the skaters, with the rest of the weekend designated for on- and off-ice coaching time with the moderators.
