OTTAWA - The federal government has responded to the strengthening of aboriginal title in B.C. by following the province’s lead and focusing on resource use agreements rather than full-scale treaties that have been slow and expensive to negotiate.

A shift in federal policy was announced Monday by Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Minister Bernard Valcourt, endorsing non-treaty and incremental treaty agreements such as B.C. has focused on in recent years.

Valcourt also appointed Vancouver lawyer Doug Eyford as a special advisor, to follow up on his advice to Ottawa last fall on developing West Coast oil and

gas export projects.

B.C. Aboriginal Relations Minister John Rustad welcomed the change in federal approach, describing resource agreements as “stepping stones to reconciliation.

“We had been hoping the federal government would come to the table with things like our nontreaty agreements and our incremental approach to treaty for quite a few years,” Rustad said in an interview Tuesday. “That has been something they’ve resisted, but now they’re going to come to the table with that, and we welcome that.”

B.C. recently signed its first liquefied natural gas resource sharing agreement for facilities proposed near Prince Rupert. On July 11, B.C. reached its 150th forest resource sharing agreement with the Seabird Island

Band in the Fraser Valley, and has developed similar revenue deals for mining and hydroelectric projects.

Ottawa is also promising to restart fisheries talks that have been on hold since the Cohen Commission reported in 2012 on the health of Fraser River sockeye salmon runs. The B.C. Treaty Commission has protested for years that Ottawa’s foot-dragging has contributed to the slow pace of talks, with only four treaties completed since the threeway structure was set up in 1992.

Chief Commissioner Sophie Pierre has warned of over-emphasis on resource agreements, with Ottawa and B.C. focused on northern B.C. pipeline and energy projects. Rustad said there are resource projects all over the province that can benefit, adding there will be new agreements an-

nounced in the near future.

Valcourt’s announcement mirrors the main recommendations of Eyford’s report last fall.

It called for “targeted efforts to build effective relationships, including refinements to Canada’s current approach to consultation and engagement, to explore mutually beneficial initiatives that support reconciliation, and to encourage aboriginal communities to resolve shared territory issues.”

Rustad said Ottawa is moving on Eyford’s recommendations, not in response to the landmark aboriginal title case decided in favour of the Tsilhqot’in Nation in June. The Supreme Court of Canada upheld Tsilhqot’in title to the Nemiah Valley west of Williams Lake, striking down provincial logging permits issued without aboriginal consent.

Prince Rupert man facing child porn charges

By Shaun Thomas

THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - A 30-year-old Prince Rupert man has been arrested for possession of child pornography.

Edmund White, 30, was arrested on July 3 after RCMP executed a search warrant in the 1700 block of Sloan Ave. There, RCMP seized various electronics devices, including a computer and an Xbox video game console, and charged White with not only possession of child pornography, but importing or distributing child pornography and making or publishing child pornography.

While not able to go into specific details, Const. Matt Ericson of the Prince Rupert RCMP noted the warrant was executed after receiving information from out-of-town officers.

“The warrant was based on information received from the Integrated Child Exploitation Unit ... all of these offences are related to illegal ‘online’ activities and at this time, we have no reason to believe that any local children have been victimized based on what was seized and the evidence collected,” he said, adding this is not believed to be part of any larger operation.

White made his first appearance in court

More drug charges expected

By Margaret Speirs

THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

TERRACE - Charges are expected for a second Terrace person in a northwest drug bust that netted eight people with 14 charges.

Clive Douglas Evans, 54, is the lone Terrace person named so far and he faces two charges of trafficking in a controlled substance.

“There’s one more (charge approval) with Crown still,” said Sgt. Dave Uppal of the Prince Rupert RCMP Federal Serious and Organized Crime (FSOC) section, adding that the process of getting the information together on this person to give to Crown took a bit longer for police than the others.

“A person in Terrace,” he added, referring to where this remaining person is from.

“The individuals sold product to undercover officers,” he said, adding that these individuals weren’t necessarily all working together, but may have been separate people just arrested during the project.

The charges were announced earlier this month by the Prince Rupert RCMP FSOC section after the conclusion of the police investigation into street level drug trafficking activities in Project Eputcher, a multi-jurisdictional investigation including RCMP detachments in Terrace, Prince Rupert, Masset, Queen Charlotte City, Kitimat, Stewart, Hazelton, Smithers and Houston.

From December 2013 to February 2014, the coordinated team seized cocaine, crack cocaine and marijuana, reported police.

Of the eight individuals charged, several have histories of drug convictions in their own communities, said police.

“The project was highly successful and resulted in a significant disruption in illegal drug trafficking activities at the street level in northwestern B.C. communities,” said Uppal.

Four men were charged in Prince Rupert and one person in each of Terrace, Kitimat, Hazelton and Smithers, said police.

The ages of the accused range from 29 to 54.

July 4 and was released from custody with strict conditions governing his contact with children and his access to the Internet. The release and lack of information on the case did not sit well with some in the community.

“I feel the public should rally and demand further inquiry, personal address ... and posters of warning should be posted throughout the city,” commented Amanda Sparkes on thenorthernview.com.

“We need to show due diligence in protecting the children of Prince Rupert against this kind of horrific subjection. As a community we need to join forces on this matter.”

According to Ericson, details of the arrest

were not immediately made public due to the nature of the investigation.

“It was an ongoing investigation. To release the information before he is formally charged, we couldn’t do that, but as things progress we are in a better position to provide details,” he said.

White’s second court appearance took place on July 30.

This investigation is in its early stages and the Prince Rupert RCMP is asking anyone that may have information regarding this incident to contact the Prince Rupert RCMP Detachment at 250-627-0700 or to anonymously Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

Shoplifter, 9, caught TERRACE – Terrace RCMP reported receiving 108 calls from 8 a.m. July 25 to 8 a.m. July 28.

Below are some examples of those calls.

Two shoplifters fled after they were caught by Shoppers Drug Mart staff. The first girl was 12-years-old, long dark hair, dark complexion, pink hoodie, black tight pants with cuts on front of both legs, and dark colored/white shoes. The second girl was 12-year-old, reddish brown curly hair, light complexion, wearing blue jeans. A black/purple backpack was recovered containing stolen items from the Wholesale Club that were returned. Under investigation. A nine-year-old shoplifter was caught at Walmart. Police had discussions with the child’s guardian.

A female driving a white 2014 Nissan Sentra on the wrong side of the road, turned left onto Eby St. Police located the vehicle parked in a lot on Lakelse Ave. Upon activating emergency equipment, the vehicle

fled, going over a curb, speeding, and going through a stop sign at Kalum St. The vehicle was located later in the evening and was seized as part of the investigation.

Police spoke with two men fishing with their lawn chairs set up on the CN tracks at Hwy 16/Gagnon Rd. An intoxicated 15-year-old girl who was not wearing a helmet fell off her bike on Queensway Dr. and hit her head, sustaining injuries. BC Ambulance transported her to Mills Memorial Hospital.

Domestic assault. A man was seen hitting, kicking and throwing a woman to the ground in the Northern Motor Inn parking lot. The woman fled to a van and the man was seen smashing the window out of the van. Police arrested an 18-year-old man and held him for court. And on July 29, a breakin to a Molitor St. residence resulted in two TVs and a game console being stolen. A knife was stuck in the bedroom wall and a vehicle parked outside had its tires slashed.

HAFI Funds Home Modifications for Disabled Man When Lorie and Walter bought their home in Port Alberni 13 years ago they slowly began renovating the unfinished basement to accommodate Walter’s changing needs as his muscular dystrophy advanced.

“The basement was a black hole when we moved in,” recalled Walter. “After 12 years of skimping and saving, we made the downstairs completely wheelchair accessible, except for the bathroom. It was way too small.

I could only stand for about a minute and a half without collapsing in the shower stall and I could no longer pull myself out of the tub in the upstairs’ bathroom, even with Lorie’s help.”

Through funding from BC Housing’s Home Adaptations for Independence (HAFI) program, Walter and Lorie were able to work with a contractor to transform the space. A wall was removed to make room for a wheelin shower with benches, grab bars were installed, and the vanity and fixtures were relocated.

“ I just slide into the shower now,” said Walter. “I feel safer and no longer dread trying to wash myself. What was previously a dangerous chore for me is now a welcome treat.”

Walter and Lorie hope to spend the rest of their lives in their home.

The HAFI program provides financial assistance to help eligible low-income seniors and people with disabilities adapt their homes so they can continue to live independently.

Nick and Liz Willmot and their children, Oliver, 8, and Maddy, 6, thought their rat terrier Piper was dead after she jumped off a cliff while chasing a squirrel on Haida Gwaii.

Dog survives cliff fall TERRACE - Nick Willmot never thought he’d see his rat terrier alive after the dog jumped off a cliff while chasing a squirrel July 9.

Nick had just climbed up the 410 foot Tow Cliff on Graham Island, Haida Gwaii and saw the dog ahead, running back and forth, which the eight-pound Piper did when she saw a squirrel. “To her, a squirrel is just a rat with a fluffy tail,” said Nick July 25.

Piper took a run at the squirrel and a bird that flew by and went off the cliff without a sound. Figuring the dog was dead, Nick checked the bottom of the cliff and didn’t see or hear her.

“The kids were very upset,” said Liz, Nick’s wife. The family returned home to Terrace, mourning the loss of Piper.

But then, July 12, Toni Lynn Davidson, who rented a cabin at the bottom of the cliff, found Piper. Davidson

figured the dog’s owner was camping there when she saw her running on the beach, but realized later that the dog was alone. Thanks to the dog’s name and the family’s phone numbers on her tag, they got a phone call from Davidson that Piper was alive.

Liz called Inland Air, which flies a float plane between Haida Gwaii and Prince Rupert, and the company agreed to fly Piper to Rupert July 14.

“They were so good about it. They brought her over in a crate. I was expecting to pay a fee but they said ‘no problem, we just want to help out,’” said Liz. With logs and bushes down the cliff, the family thinks maybe Piper was knocked out and spent two days getting down the cliff.

And the dog escaped with only a scratch. “She really is just fine,” said Liz.

WCC LNG outlines plans for export terminal along Tuck Inlet

By Shaun Thomas THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - Residents of the North Coast received their first look at plans for a liquefied natural gas export terminal on Tuck Inlet last week at an open house hosted

by WCC LNG. The company, a partnership between ExxonMobil and Imperial Oil, entered into an agreement with the City of Prince Rupert to potentially develop a terminal at Lot 444 and on Thursday night WCC LNG brought their plans out for feedback from the public.

The company has already received approval for an export licence for anywhere between 10 million and 30 million tonnes of LNG per year and is proposing up to six floating barges along the edge of Tuck Inlet. As well as the barges, plans call for land-based camps, administration building and control room structures directly across from the Seal Cove sea-

plane base.

In terms of possible impact to the Prince Rupert water supply at Shawatlan Lake, Imperial Oil media relations advisor Leanne Dohy said that will not be an issue.

“The facility would be located approximately four kilometres from the watershed ... so there is a great separation between us and the watershed,” she said, noting the topography of the area also increases separation.

The current timeline for the project calls for the project description to be filed later this year, with a final investment decision coming in early 2018. Should the project proceed, construction would run from 2018 to 2023, with operations beginning nine years from now.

At full build out, the terminal would serve one vessel per day.

And while she said there were no concerns raised by the Prince Rupert Port Authority about LNG tankers accessing the harbour,

Dohy said more discussions need to take place about what the increased tanker movement could mean to marine vessels.

“If we ask the right questions now, we can prevent issues in the future,” said Dohy.

“If we know commercial fishers use the harbour this way and the seaplanes use it this way, then we can incorporate that into the design.”

But it is not just access from the water that is being considered.

Currently the land access to the lot is from a small road that provides a means of getting to the water supply. Dohy said creating direct access to Prince Rupert is something that the company may consider as the project develops.

“We will be undertaking a logistics study trying to figure out the best way to access the site not only during construction but for the more long-term operational requirements,” she said.

Councillors given outline to fight unsightly homes

By Cameron Orr THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

KITIMAT - Kitimat Council has taken in a report from the staff which sets out the process for dealing with unsightly premises in Kitimat.

The report from the District’s Deputy Chief Administrative Officer lays out three ways the town can enforce unsightly properties in town. The first is using tickets, and is said to be best used for easily rectified problems, such as brushing the yard or removing debris.

Second is court-ordered enforcement for clean-up or reha-

bilitation. Finally, the Community Charter allows for remedial action on properties, which does call for an extensive process which brings the matter to council. If work eventually has to be undertaken by the District then that cost is added to that homeowner’s property tax bill.

Historically there have been hurdles to effectively enforcing unsightly properties, notably the legal aspect. “I know it’s really tough when you’re living next to something that doesn’t look overly great but if it’s something that’s still inhabitable and it’s more of the aesthetics, it’s something you have

to try to work through,” said Warren Waycheshen, referring to the difficulty in convincing a court that a home was a nuisance through law, rather than simply being bad looking.

In other communities enforcement has also been met with threats of violence to municipal workers, he said.

The definition of a ‘nuisance’ property under the Community Charter is “so dilapidated or unclean as to be offensive to the community.”

The house, staff’s report continues, must be a nuisance in law “to the surrounding area, such that it is affecting oth-

er people’s enjoyment of their properties.” Councillors were supportive of the three-pronged process the town could take (tickets, court, or remediation) and welcomed a quicker pace to deal with properties.

“We’ve received letters and pictures of some very ugly properties and if we can use municipal ticket information systems to go to the full max... then so be it. Some of these properties, they’re hideous,” said Mario Feldhoff.

Rob Goffinet added during debate that “We’ve been vexed long enough as a community with this problem.”

Wildfire season set to be a real scorcher this year THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

VICTORIA - Wildfires in B.C. have already burned up more forest than has usually been lost in recent years, with many weeks of hot, smoky action still expected for firefighting crews.

Fires have burned 166,125 hectares since April 1 – more than the average of 141,000 hect-

ares burned over the previous 10 years.

“It has been quite busy,” fire information officer Navi Saini said last week. “The danger ratings we saw for the last two weeks were the highest we’d seen since about 2010, which was the last busy fire season.”

In 2010, B.C. lost 337,149 hectares and spent $212 million fighting 1,673 fires.

Fisheries officials keeping close watch over Nass fish

By Anna Killen

THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

NEW AIYANSH - Nisga’a fisheries officials are keeping a close eye on a section of the Kwinageese River, a tributary of the Nass River, to make sure salmon along that route continue to be able to reach their spawning beds.

Fisheries technicians confirmed July 15 that a small portion of a heavy cement blockade — important because it raises a pool just below a waterfall created by a rock slide, allowing the salmon to jump the falls and continue travelling upriver—has been washed out.

Before the blockage was detected and fixed in 2011, salmon weren’t able to get over the approximately 3-metre high rock barrier and the situation ultimately led to closed fisheries and ongoing restrictions so that the Kwinageese salmon could recover.

But for now, although about five of the 44 thousands-pound heavy cement blocks have been washed out and water levels at the site are below average, fish are still getting through.

“It appears the fish are making their way up, we just had a report that some Chinook and Sockeye have gone past, so I’m really pleased with that,” Nisga’a Fisheries and Wildlife Department

Harry Nyce Sr. (NFWD) director Harry Nyce Sr. said.

Nyce said his team anticipated future movement at the canyon site when the cement blocks were initially placed in 2011.

“We knew it was going to move and that the site was steep and nature wasn’t going to help us,” he said. “The water is powerful, very powerful. It looks like it’s a small tributary, but it’s not, it’s pretty powerful when it gets going.”

That fluidity means the department will most likely continue to use cement blocks for the near future.

“I’ll be reporting to our executive that we’re requiring some help to do some more work, either place some more blocks there or whatever else our technicians

want to do,” said Nyce. “It appears right now we’re short of resources, it would be nice to have something placed back in ... but our resources aren’t there.”

The 2011 initiative cost $80,000, he said, noting helicopter time took up most of that budget.

For now, NFWD, the Prince Rupert federal fisheries branch, and the Smithers provincial fisheries branch are working to monitor the site, with a flight scheduled for Aug. 5 to measure the pool’s capacity, according to an update from Nisga’a fisheries biologist Richard Alexander last week.

“If fish can pass at low water levels, no immediate actions will take place and a more permanent structure will be pursued in the future. If fish passage is compromised, 10‐15 cement blocks will be placed at the site to increase the pooling capacity by the end of August,” read the update, which noted all permits have been approved for the work to go ahead, ensuring a swift timeline for the fix if necessary.

The Nisga’a Fisheries Management Program uses fish wheels and other technologies on the Nass River for salmon monitoring, tagging, and data collection, and conducts stock assessments on a variety of species throughout the Nass Area.

Pinnacle outlines improvements

By Martina Perry

THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - Pinnacle Renewable Energy and the Prince Rupert Port Authority (PRPA) promised more would be done to address Prince Rupert residents’ concerns with Westview Terminal more than a month ago, and while changes have been made complaints continue to trickle in.

An adaptive management plan was implemented at Westview Terminal in the last month in an effort to decrease noise, dust and odour associated with the operation. Pinnacle also invited members of the community on a walk-through of the facility that approximately 10 people participated in.

“An overriding objective of ours is to be good neighbours,” said Vaughan Bassett, Pinnacle Renewable Energy’s senior vice-president of sales and logistics.

Bassett said the major issue with Westview Terminal is noise, which Pinnacle is concentrating its efforts on. The gear box motors at the top of the terminal’s bucket elevator system are suspected to be the biggest contributor, with noise deflectors being installed several months ago. Bassett admitted they haven’t worked out as well as the company hoped.

“We’re looking at putting in some acoustical shielding inside of that structure. We hope to have that in place in about four to five weeks time,” he said.

In addition to procedural and training-related improvements taking place at the terminal, the adaptive management plan also includes changes to equipment use.

With some pointing to dust escaping from silo vents as a main contributor of airborne dust, Bassett said vents facing the community are now blocked off.

“What we have now is venting out toward the ocean. It’s used sparingly, and we try to only use it when we’re having an offshore breeze,” he said.

In an attempt to reduce smell from the terminal, Bassett said the aeration fans that keep wood pellets stored inside of silos from reaching an unsafe temperature are also being used sparingly, with usage being limited to when there’s an offshore breeze whenever possible.

Despite changes, there were still a significant number of complaints received through the PRPA’s community comment form over the last month; a total of 28 between June 22 and July 19. The highest number of complaints were collected during the week of July 6 when 13 comments pertaining to air quality, noise and other issues such as odour were recorded, followed by nine throughout the week of June 22.

“Complaints are usually related to loading of a vessel visit at Pinnacle. When operations are conspicuous, like dust at the top of the silos, trains moving and creating noise pollution or vessels running through the night, is when we tend to get the most commentary from the community,” said Michael Gurney, the PRPA’s manager of corporate communications, adding complaints are brought to Pinnacle’s attention each week.

Mark Bunch, Westview Terminal manager, said the aim is to not only stay under guidelines set by the government but to do whatever is possible to minimize nearby residents’ concerns in daily operations.

“Is it more difficult to work that way? Absolutely. But is it the right thing to do? Absolutely,” Bunch said.

“To be able to coexist in this tight of an environment takes an awful lot.”

And that was the reason Water Street homeowner Ken Shaw was vocal in his opposition of the

“I wasn’t against the project, I was against its location ... I felt it would be better located in an industrial area,” he said in a June interview with the Northern View.

Shaw said he believes Westview Terminal is operating better than many similar facilities, with ongoing complaints stemming more from the terminal’s placement than its practices.

“All those problems that they have, typical start up problems, are quite manageable in an industrial setting,” he said.

Kitimat RCMP present year-to-date stats ly a third of 2013, with 10 total cases (one in June) versus 34 in 2013.

Common assault saw 18 cases in June, making a total of 101 this year, against 220 last year.

There have been three robberies this year — including the recent robbery of a woman at a bank ATM — against seven all of last year.

Shoplifting has seen a rise, sitting at 13 for the year to June (two in June itself). In 2013 there were only six.

We’re just over halfway to the number of cocaine possessions, seven in 2014 so far, and 13 in 2013. There’s been two possession of ecstasy files this year, one in June, after zero last year.

Marijuana files are at 22, with three in June, against 34 in 2013.

Combined cocaine and other drug trafficking total five this year, no files in June. The same combined for 2013 was nine.

By Cameron Orr THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

KITIMAT - To the halfway point of the year, some of Kitimat’s crime statistics show a mix of numbers, with some cases on par with last year to certain areas with increases.

That area of increase is motor vehicle act tickets, which this year so far have totalled 241. That’s above all of 2013 which saw 237. In June there were 33 tickets issued.

Kitimat’s staff sergeant has earlier told town council that the increase may actually be to do with a maturing detachment, where officers last year were mostly new members and as the members confidence grows so does their frequency of pull overs.

The detachment is also close to being at a full complement after being short for a number of months.

Kitimat council provides secondary suite incentive

By Cameron Orr THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

KITIMAT - Kitimat Council has approved a secondary suite incentive program that will kick money back to homeowners who develop their homes with secondary rental suites.

The program is one of the options the District of Kitimat had been researching as ways to potentially alleviate some of the trouble associated with low vacancy rates in town.

The amount of secondary suites in Kitimat has dropped significantly since 1985, when there were 274. Today only 95 secondary suites remain. While this new incentive program won’t apply to existing suites, it is designed to help absorb some of the construction cost in establishing it.

Kitimat planner Daniel Martin said the incentives start at up to $2,500, or up to 33 per cent of the construction. If you design you suite with accessibility in mind — for instance wheelchair accessible — you get an extra $2,500 grant. More grants, either $5,000 or $7,500, is available if you rent it out as an affordable housing unit, as defined by the Canadi-

an Mortgage and Housing Corporation, and the grant amount depends on how affordable you make the unit.

The largest concern in debate came from Mario Feldhoff who was concerned that taxpayer money could potentially go to homeowners who then turn around and rent out to family members.

“I personally don’t feel that’s an appropriate use for taxpayers’ money,” he said.

Director of Community Planning and Development Gwen Sewell said that staff decided not to pursue those restrictions primarily because human rights legislation make restricting persons who can rent units very challenging.

As well, even if a unit is rented to a family member that’s still a rental unit that is freed up elsewhere, such as an apartment building.

Feldhoff attempted to have the program tabled until council could receive a legal opinion regarding limiting renting to family members, but was ultimately defeated with the rest of council opposed.

In calling for finally approving the program as a whole, with a $50,000 budget, all of council stood with it.

“I personally don’t feel that’s an appropriate use for taxpayers’ money...”

The new Ronald McDonald House BC opens in June.

A home away from home for seriously ill children receiving treatment at BC Children’s Hospital, the new and bigger House has enough room to welcome 73 families every day, keeping 2,500 families per year together when it matters most.

The KSM Project: Responsible Development

CREATION DATE: May 8, 2014 MODIFICATION DATE: May 9, 2014 12:13 PM OUTPUT DATE: 05/14/14

The KSM Project achieves significant milestones

June and July have been eventful months for Sea#600 – 1085 Homer Street, bridge Gold’s KSM Project, marked with several positive Vancouver BC, V6B 1J4 achievements for the proposed gold-copper-silver-mop: 604 647 2727 f: 604 647 6299 lybdenum mine located 65 kilometers north of Stewart. www.cossette.com The first highlight was the BC Environmental Assessment Office referral of the KSM Project Environmental Assessment (EA) application to the BC Minister of Energy and Mines and the BC Minister of Environment for a decision. The Ministers have until August 4, 2014 to decide whether to issue an EA Certificate, decline to issue an EA Certificate or order that further assessment be conducted. Seabridge looks forward to sharing the Ministers’ decision with you in its next story.

The second highlight was the release by the federal Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency (CEAA) of its comprehensive report on KSM which has been submitted for Ministerial decision at the federal level. The report finds that the KSM Project is likely to have no significant adverse environmental effects. A federal decision is expected this fall.

These referrals represent more than six and a half years of work and effort from an extended group of people including Seabridge staff and consultants, Treaty and First Nations, provincial and federal government officials, US and State of Alaska regulators and community members. Seabridge is grateful for everyone’s contribution to undertaking a thorough and comprehensive EA process.

Recognizing positive Treaty and First Nation relations Seabridge has worked hard to ensure Treaty and First Nations involvement in the EA process. This effort was recently recognized by two positive events.

The first was establishment of a Benefits Agreement with Nisga’a Nation that institutes a long-term co-operative relationship between Seabridge and the Nisga’a Nation under which the Nisga’a Nation will support development of the Project, participate in economic benefits from the Project and provide ongoing advice. The Agreement includes commitments by Seabridge regarding jobs and contracting opportunities at the KSM Project, education and training, financial payments and a framework for

working together on ongoing development matters. This comprehensive agreement also addresses concerns expressed by the Nisga’a Nation around the potential environmental and social impacts of the KSM Project.

The second was an agreement established with the Gitanyow Wilps represented by the Gitanyow Hereditary Chiefs Office (the “Gitanyow Huwilp”). Under the agreement, Seabridge agrees to provide funding for certain programs relating to wildlife, fish and water quality monitoring to address some of the concerns raised by the Gitanyow Huwilp, as well as for a committee to establish a means of maintaining communications about KSM Project related issues.

Regulatory process next steps As part of the regulatory process, Seabridge will be holding community information sessions in northwestern BC in August to discuss the KSM Project, including the tailings management facility’s (TMF) location, explain how the TMF’s dam structure has been designed and share how fish habitat and aquatic life will be protected.

PRINCE RUPERT - The B.C. Government and Service Employees’ Union (BCGEU) says a lack of government resources is compromising the safety and well-being of vulnerable children and families in B.C., a topic still fresh in the minds of many in the community following the tragic deaths of a Prince Rupert mother and son.

Matched funding has been awarded to the District through a contribution agreement (not a grant) from the federal government through the Asia-Pacific Gateway and Corridor Initiative, Transportation Infrastructure Fund, to assist with an upgrade project to rehabilitate and upgrade the facility’s log skids.

The log handling facility has 16 log skids, or slides, made from long steel pipes that are filled with concrete and welded together which are anchored to buried steel and/or log foundation structures. This project will rehabilitate and upgrade all 16 skids.

SCOPE OF WORK The scope of the work is to include: • Address grade issues and gravel erosion: Procure and install 800 yards of gravel and 700 yards of 6”-8” shot rock.

• Gravel must be placed and sloped between all groups of skids to provide Wheel Loader access to the water’s edge. This sloping of gravel should run 30ft from the topside of the log yard towards the waters direction across the entire log facility • Rock placement on the skids should commence at the 30ft mark of the pipes extending 20ft towards the waters direction, placement of shot rock under all pipes at a depth of 2ft and spanning across the entire skid width, extending wide 3ft outside each outer pipe.

• Repair and replace steel log skid structures: Starting at the south end of the log handling facility the skids have all been numbered.

Skids consisting of 2 pipes wide are regular and 3 pipes wide are short log skids. All skid pipes are 14-16” in diameter and are welded together to a length of 60 – 70ft. Pipes are filled with cement and capped on both ends. A 3ft anchor pipe filled with cement, welded at the top end of the pipe is buried into the ground for support. Side plates connecting the anchor pipe to skid plates must be installed to new pipes. Channel iron and flat bar runs along the sliding surface of all pipes for a minimum of 20ft for protection. See other existing pipes for all examples.

• Pipe 1 - install 10ft section of channel iron and flat bar • Pipe 1a - install 10ft section of channel iron and flat bar • Pipe 2 - Complete removal and used for skid 3 upgrade.

• Pipe 2a - Complete removal • Pipe 3 - Left as is • Pipe 3a - Complete removal, replace with pipe 2 after modifications made. When putting in place must be level with pipe 3 and pipe 3b. Must have a 3ft anchor with side plates installed and filled with cement, see others for example. 20ft section of channel and flat bar must be installed.

• Pipe 3b - Left as is • Pipe 4 - install 10ft section of channel iron and flat bar • Pipe 4a - install 10ft section of channel iron and flat bar • Pipe 5 - Cut off 2ft channel and flat bar extension and install new 10ft channel and flat bar extension.

• Pipe 5a - Cut off 2ft Channel and flat bar extension and install 10ft channel and flat bar extension.

• Pipe 6 - install 10ft section of channel iron and flat bar • Pipe 6a – install 10ft section of channel iron and flat bar Realign the top end of the pipes 6 and 6a so they are in line with skid #5 and #7 for better truck access.

• Pipe 7 – install 10ft section of channel iron and flat bar; straighten out midsection of pipe.

• Pipe 7a – install 10ft section of channel iron and flat bar • Pipe 8 & 8a – Pipes to be completely removed, skid cannot be used anymore due to its location. Steel pipes to be used for skid #9.

• Pipe 9 – Completely remove and replace with pipe #8. Install 10ft section of channel iron and flat bar

• Pipe 9a – Left as is.

• Pipe 9b – Completely remove and replace with pipe #8a . Install 10ft section of channel iron and flat bar • Pipe 10 – install 10ft section of channel iron and flat bar • Pipe 10a – install 10ft section of channel iron and flat bar • Pipe 11 – Left as is • Pipe 11a – Remove and replace with new pipes (3x20’ steel pipe lengths), must be the same diameter and length as pipe 11 (14-16”).

20ft of channel and flat bar must be installed, top anchor pipe (3ft) with side plates and pipes must be filled with cement.

• Pipe 12 – Complete replacement of pipe with a 40ft channel and flat bar installed (3x20’ steel pipe lengths).

• Pipe 12a – 20ft channel and flat bar extension.

• Pipe 13 – 10ft channel and flat bar extension.

• Pipe 13a – 10ft channel and flat bar extension.

SPORTS

Masters ready to take on the world

By Kevin Campbell

THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - For many, the prospect of participating in sport competitively ceases to exist once your age dictates you must be the best-of-thebest to keep going.

Not so for Masters Swimming Canada.

“The sport does not end at [age] 18,” said Prince Rupert’s Cheryl Paavola.

“Because there’s nobody up here [older than 18] swimming [in a competitive environment], the kids don’t know [that you can].”

Paavola, who recently returned from Nanaimo as an assistant coach with Team Northwest’s swimming squad at the B.C. Summer Games, will compete in the 50, 100, 200, 400 and 800-metre freestyle races in the women’s 40-44 age group at the 15th Fédération Internationale de Natation (FINA) World Masters Championships which runs in Montréal from July 27 to Aug. 10.

She’ll swim against hundreds of athletes who made the minimum required times to participate, but she’ll also swim against former Olympians and Commonwealth Games veterans.

That’s how it is with the masters, all adults, who range in skill level but not in work ethic.

Starting from age 25, and with age groups increasing in increments of five years, the masters’ swimming circuit pits anyone against everyone.

“Once I found out it would be held in Montreal, I thought ... it would be a lot nicer to travel and represent Canada in Canada,” said Paavola.

And the swimmer’s not the only athlete going from the northwest coast.

Amanda Jaskwan-Bedard from Old Massett will also be heading to the hustle and bustle of Quebec’s largest city. She’ll try her hand at the 50 and 100 breaststroke and the 200 freestyle

in the 35-39 age division.

“I don’t have a place to swim [to practice] but I have swam in the lake a few times. It’s pretty cold,” she explained, adding that there’s a strong need for a community pool on Haida Gwaii.

Neither Paavola nor Jaskwan-Bedard have swam competitively since they were in their late teens, and as Jaskwan-Bedard pointed out, things are a little different now than they were then.

“It’s funny, I actually feel better now. Probably because teenage life is pretty hard. I know I peaked when I was swimming between the ages of 13 and 15; that’s when girls are at their fastest in the swim world and I did pretty well,” she said. “It was actually hard between 15 and 19, there was so much going on. Now it feels like such a great relief and I’m really focused on it.”

The one-time Rupertite swims whenever she can off-island, including Prince Rupert, Port McNeill and Victoria.

“It’s just nice too because I have a busy work life and family life (with a two year-old son Wiijaa) so to have that focus when I go to the pool [is a nice switch],” said Jaskwan-Bedard.

In order to participate in sanctioned time-qualifiers for the FINA worlds, Paavola had to ask area swim coaches to include a masters’ class race with some of the Points North youth meets.

“At a sanctioned masters’ meet, you can’t swim with the kids to get your times,” explained Paavola.

At the Montreal event, FINA will host five disciplines: swimming, diving, water polo, synchronized swimming and open water swimming.

The organization has a membership of 203 national federations throughout the world. The 14th world championships took place in 2012 in Riccione, Italy.

Dozzi medals…

BC SUMMER GAMES PHOTO / THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

TERRACE - Terrace track athlete Tyler Dozzi proved he could go the distance at the 2014 BC Summer Games in Nanaimo, winning gold in the 2000 metre (5:57.46) and bronze in the 1200 metre (3:23.62). Dozzi’s placings at provincial meets have been steadily improving over the past couple of years and the Grade 10 still has a long career ahead of him.

Terrace’s Kennedy twins are ready for the next chapter

By Caitlin Clow

THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

TERRACE - At the vibrant age of 20 Terrace’s Kennedy twins, Brendan and Jeff, are heading to Queen’s University in Kingston, Ont. this fall to play both on and off of the ice.

“It was never a question of whether or not we would go to school and now just seems like the right time,” Brendan said.

The twins will be doubleteaming the ice as they’ve both committed to play for the Gaels.

“We do everything together.

Pretty much team up on everything we do and I feel that we’re at our best when we do that,” Jeff said.

“We read each other well and that’s part of what makes going to play so special.”

Most siblings experience a rivalry, but Jeff said that helps keep the brothers accountable and it pushes them to be better.

But “we definitely don’t stay friendly all the time,” he said.

“I cannot express how excited I am, to announce that ... the Kennedy brothers have committed to play for us here at Queen’s next season,” said head coach Brett Gibson in a release on the Gaels’ website about the team’s new players.

“It is still very early in the

recruiting season and to have these calibre of players commit show’s how excited they are about the direction of our program here at Queen’s.”

“I’m excited to move on and start a new chapter in my life and hockey career...”

Brendan said that he was looking at potential schools and he sent Gibson an email to show he was interested.

“I didn’t expect to hear much back, then in February he called back and said he’d be happy to have me,” Brendan said.

“Then the same thing happened for Jeff a month later,” he continued.

Jeff said he’s getting really excited for school.

“I’m excited to move on and start a new chapter in my life and hockey career.”

When the boys aren’t playing hockey they’ll be hitting the books together as they are both registered in the faculty of arts program and both plan on ma-

joring in economics.

“Economics and business is something that I’ve always been interested in,” Brendan said.

“Maybe at some point I’ll transfer into business or law.”

The two Terrace stars have spent their last three seasons in Salmon Arm playing for the SilverBacks in the BCHL. SilverBacks head coach Troy Mick told the BCHL Newsletter that the brothers have left a great impression on the younger players and they will be missed.

Kevin Kennedy, the boys’ father said he’s proud of them.

“The school has an excellent athletic program and outstanding academics.”

The boys will also be following in their great-grandfather’s footprints Kevin explained.

“My grandfather graduated from Queen’s in 1939.”

“I’ve been excited for it all summer,” Brendan said.

“Although, it’s nice to be home. We didn’t get to spend a whole bunch of time at home last year so it’s nice to at the lake and go fishing,” he continued.

The two had the option to stay in B.C. and play hockey but Brendan said they are both more than ready to go to school.

“It’s nice to have a fresh start,” he said.

TERRACE – A memorial to Prince Rupert’s Ashley Coveyduck remains behind the plywood on this tree after the top of the tree, laying next to it above, was chopped down because it had been damaged by a fire, making it a hazard to vehicles passing by on Hwy 16, about 55 km west of Terrace near Kasiks Wildnerness Resort. Coveyduck died when the vehicle she was riding in went off the highway and into the Skeena River in June 2009. A memorial cross with photos was erected at the base of the spruce tree by family and friends.
