BC Hydro strikes LNG power arrangement

By Cameron Orr

THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

KITIMAT - An agreement to supply power to LNG Canada in Kitimat has been made with BC Hydro.

The two sides announced the arrangement November 4.

BC Hydro announced that the agreement gives hydro power to LNG Canada for their auxiliary uses.

LNG Canada later clarified that auxiliary is essentially processes that aren’t related to the natural processing itself, things like lighting.

Electricity from BC Hydro will account for about 20 per cent of the LNG Canada facility’s

50th Annual $85,000 Prince Rupert

power needs, the company says.

BC Hydro also notes that LNG Canada will be on the hook to fund some new power infrastructure for operation and transmission pieces so they can hook in to BC Hydro’s own grid.

The company has said details on the costs for that work is confidential company knowledge.

Sources in LNG Canada say that the decision to use hydro power for their auxiliary needs came from comments made through community consultations.

The company still plans to use gas turbines to provide power for the liquefaction process.

The sources said that the scale that LNG Canada would

the proposed project,” said Andy Calitz, CEO of LNG Canada, in a news release.

“The decision to power our facility with renewable electricity in combination with highly efficient natural gas turbines reflects our commitment to listen to, and act on feedback from our stakeholders, when possible.”

Shell Canada is the majority owner of the Canada LNG project with KOGAS of Korea, Mitsubishi of Japan and PetroChina of China having minority positions.

Canada LNG is one of two large LNG plants planned for Kitimat with Kitimat LNG, halfowned by Chevron, being the other proposal.

operate at means it could not rely 100 per cent on hydro power.

Using an existing electrical grid is still more the exception than the norm globally, says the company, where plants, including the Oman LNG facility some community stakeholders visited recently, use gas turbines on-site to generate all of their electricity on site.

This is the first power agreement signed in British Columbia with an LNG proponent, BC Hydro said in their news release.

“We heard very clearly from First Nations, the local community, and the provincial government how important it is that LNG Canada considers environmental factors when planning for

Voting turns automatic ELECT

By MARTINA PERRY

THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - Results of the 2014 municipal election will be released much sooner this year as new automated vote tabulators are being used in Prince Rupert’s election.

Tanya Ostrom, the city’s chief elections officer, and Rory Mandryk, Prince Rupert’s corporate administrator, said the tabulators not only make the tallying process faster, they ensure accuracy by reducing the possibility of human error.

“Part of the reason for using it was not only to get automatic results, but it’s been very successful in other communities with regards to people spoiling their ballots by accident,” Ostrom said. “If there’s a problem, ‘error’ comes up and it tells you what the problem is. It’s very user-friendly,” noted Ostrom.

Ostrom said a misconception

about the new system is that voters must pick their chosen candidates on a screen. However, like the former system, voters make their selection on a paper ballot which they then deposit into the automated vote tabulator.

The machine automatically tallies votes as ballots are fed in, which Mandryk said simplifies the process by eliminating the need for hand-counting. For those who are uncomfortable with depositing their ballot into the machine, there is a manual slot into a separate portion of the machine. These ballots will be fed through the machine by election officers.

There was a good response to the tabulators during advance voting on Nov. 5, with some of the most common comments being “that’s so cool” and “it’s so modern”.

The machines are being rented for $6,500, which Ostrom said is comparable to the costs of wages for election officers and ballot printing.

Cargo through the Port of Prince Rupert down in 2014

By Shaun Thomas THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - With two months left in 2014, cargo through the Port of Prince Rupert is below the record year of 2013.

The largest decline this year is being experienced by Ridley Terminals, which moved 6.46 million tonnes through the first 10 months of 2014 compared to 10.52 million tonnes during the same time last year, a drop of 38.57 per cent driv-

en by declines in the movement of all products. In October, the terminal was down nearly 50 per cent compared to last October, moving 557,581 tonnes compared to 1.10 million tonnes last year.

Also experiencing a steep drop this year is the number of logs being moved from the harbour, which is down 11.3 per cent so far this year to sit at 321,745 tonnes compared to 362,733 tonnes last year. Like Ridley Terminals Inc., the harbour had a major drop in tonnage this Octo-

ber compared to last, falling 53.96 per cent from 56,678 tonnes to 26,555 tonnes.

Fairview Terminal saw a slight increase in tonnage this October compared to last, an increase driven by the movement of empty containers. Overall the terminal moved 47,109 TEUs compared to 44,699 TEUs last October, an increase of 5.39 per cent, although the number of loaded containers handled by Fairview was down 10.66 per cent to sit at 33.83 million TEUs. Im-

ports were down 3.73 per cent while exports were up 16.36 per cent, although the number of loaded containers leaving Fairview Terminal was down 21.47 per cent compared to a 90.98 per cent increase in the number of empty containers leaving Prince Rupert. So far this year Fairview Terminal has moved 504,240 TEUs, up 13.15 per cent from 2013, with imports up 16.07 per cent and exports up 9.35 per cent.

Despite a small decline in tonnage last month, Prince Rupert

Grain has had the largest year-overyear increase. So far in 2014 the terminal has moved 5.51 million tonnes compared to 4.16 million tonnes during the same time last year, an increase of 31.92 per cent, despite a 4.04 per cent drop in tonnage in October compared to October, 2013.

Westview Terminal has moved 410,663 tonnes of wood pellets.

This year there has been 17.75 million tonnes moved through the port, a 9.06 per cent drop.

Light up festival planned

By Cameron Orr THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

past spring to make a lightup a community thing.

“The initiative basically started...with the Chamber of Commerce and the fire hall association, and the Rotary Club,” said Rumley. “The idea is just Mark Zielinski for it to be a coordinated, community event for November 22.”

Hot chocolate, caroling, and other refreshments will coincide with the festival from 7 to 9 p.m.

Zielinski hopes that this event on November 22 will turn in to a longterm celebration in Kitimat, and he said they’ve looked at Smithers and Houston as models for small-town light-ups.

He’s anticipating the tree at the public safety building to be re-lit ahead of the event.

He said they just have to reinforce the tree due to it being in a high-wind zone.

“Hopefully we’ll alleviate that problem. Then we’ll plug it in and look out. The festive season is here.”

Reason to smile …

The festive season is here.

KITIMAT - The Kitimat Rotary Club and a number of community supports are planning to put a little extra pep in to Kitimat’s holiday season.

To that end, on November 22 there will be a Light Up Kitimat festival, which will be marked by a light up display at Mountainview Square in the evening, as well as holiday lights kicked in to high gear at the Heritage Park at the Chamber of Commerce and on the Christmas tree at the Public Safety Building.

Chair of the Light Up Kitimat committee Cheryl Rumley says it began in part when the club decided they wanted their gazebos at Heritage Park done up with lights.

At the same time at the fire hall Mark Zielinski was working on a plan to get the tree in front of their building re-lit too.

It all started to come together this

City outlines plans for work camp

By Martina Perry THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - The City of Prince Rupert has singled out potential sites for a construction workers’ camp and storage/material handling area.

With major industrial projects being proposed in and near Prince Rupert, the city is pitching adjustments be made to its Official Community Plan in order to temporarily zone two pieces of cityowned property under the industrial land use designation.

“This is a zone to facilitate activities within our zoning bylaw that will take place for a finite period of time,” Robert Long, Prince Rupert city manager, said during the Nov. 3 council meeting.

If it goes through, the city could lease the sites to interested developers wanting to create a camp for its workers and a lay down, storage/material handling area to accommodate their project.

Two pieces of land have been pinpointed as having the potential for the plans.

The first is a smaller lot on Wantage Road, previously occupied by a mobile home park, that would be suitable for a lay down, storage and material-handling area.

The second, larger lot is part of the former city dump, which has the capacity to house a workers’ camp. There’s contaminated

The old garbage dump behind the trailer court is one area being looked at for a possible work camp. soil present in this area, that the leasee would have to remediate as part of the site’s development.

This would be beneficial to the city, making an unusable piece of land available for future use.

Long said opening up the parcels of land shows the community is able to welcome project workers, some who may want to stay.

“We hope that by getting them into our community in camps that they will see the attractiveness of our community and want to live here permanently. We think the closer we can get them to some of our assets, our recreation facili-

ties, our golf course, the better it would be,” he said.

“We’ve talked a lot about the need to plan and try to take advantage of the potential developments in our area, and I think this is an example of exactly that,” Coun. Anna Ashley said.

The city will host a public hearing on the rezoning of the lands at the beginning of the Nov. 24 council meeting, starting at 7 p.m. in City Hall’s council chambers.

Later that meeting council will decide whether or not to move forward with the plans.

Armed guards, scanners for B.C. legislature

By Tom Fletcher

THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

VICTORIA - The October murder of two Canadian Forces members and a running gun battle in the House of Commons has prompted an increase in guns, body armour and weapon detection procedures at the B.C. legislature.

Legislature security guards have always had access to weapons, but the Oct. 22 assault by a lone gunman in Ottawa will mean a more obvious security presence in Victoria. MLAs voted last week to approve installation of an airport-style scanner at the main entrance, and sidearms and body armour for more than half of the B.C. legislature’s 70 security staff.

Sergeant-at-Arms Gary Lenz, in charge of legislature security, also received approval for increased training. Lenz said the objective is “to ensure that all the people who work here, from tour guides to MLAs and all staff, are aware of what actions they should

take in the event of an active shooter.”

Unlike the House of Commons, there are no police stationed at the legislature. Security guards, many of whom are former police officers, have special constable status under B.C. law and are permitted to carry firearms.

After the murder of Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent, run down by a car in St. Jean-sur-Richelieu, Que. on Oct. 20, and Cpl. Nathan Cirillo, shot in the back as he stood guard at the National War Memorial in Ottawa Oct. 22, there has been an upsurge of support for the military and an early start to tributes at cenotaphs across the country.

Poppy sales have increased and larger than usual crowds were expected at Remembrance Day ceremonies, in a year that saw the end of Canada’s combat mission in Afghanistan, a new deployment of fighter aircraft to the Middle East, and the 100th anniversary of the First World War.

LNG Canada Environmental Assessment Application Learn More and Get Involved

For the past three years, LNG Canada has been meeting with Aboriginal Groups, local communities, government regulators and other stakeholders to learn about the community and its aspirations, and to prepare our Application for an Environmental Assessment Certificate.

We are delighted that our Application is now complete and that the B.C. Environmental Assessment Office (EAO) – the regulator coordinating the environmental assessment – has accepted it for review.

It’s now your turn to tell us what you think.

Now that the B.C. Environmental Assessment Offi ce has accepted our Application for review, a 180-day review process has begun. This includes a 45-day window in which the public can comment on our Application. The public comment period runs from November 7 until December 22, 2014.

What you think about our project is important to us, and commenting can range from telling us how you feel about the project in general, to sharing any concerns you may have, to letting the regulators know you support the project and want it to go ahead. Any and all feedback is welcome.

We’ve tried to make it as easy as possible for you to access a copy of the Application – by placing print copies in the local Kitimat and Terrace libraries, and electronic copies online on both our website and on the B.C. EAO’s website. We also have copies at our Community Information Centres in Kitimat and Prince Rupert.

Because the Application is over 4,000 pages long, we’ve produced a 72-page summary document that shares highlights from the complete Application and provides background information about the project in general, the benefi ts that will accrue to local communities, the way we went about studying the potential effects of our project, and the areas we studied. Copies of the summary document are available at our Kitimat Community Information Centre and on our website at lngcanada.ca. The back page of this information piece provides all the information you need to find the documents, provide comments and learn more about our proposed liquefied natural gas (LNG) export project.

LNG Canada is a joint venture company comprised of Shell Canada Energy (50%), an affiliate of Royal Dutch Shell plc, and affiliates of PetroChina (20%), Korea Gas Corporation (15%) and Mitsubishi Corporation (15%). The joint venture is proposing to build an LNG export facility in Kitimat that initially consists of two LNG processing units referred to as “trains,” with an option to expand the project in the future to four trains.

LNG Canada respects the importance residents place on companies being trusted members of their community. We aspire to gain this trust by proactively engaging with the community in an honest, open and timely manner; by listening and being responsive and accessible; and by operating in a safe, ethical and trustworthy way.

UNDERSTANDING THE PROJECT’S POTENTIAL EFFECTS Our Environmental Assessment is based on construction, operation and shipping aspects of our proposed project. Our project includes an LNG export facility and marine terminal in Kitimat, and our assessment identifies potential effects our project could have on a number of areas.

To complete the Environmental Assessment, we followed five key steps.

We conducted studies looking at topics ranging from marine mammals, airshed, greenhouse gases, to the Kitimat estuary, amphibians, birds, community wellbeing and more.

Step 2: What effects could occur?

In addition to technical studies conducted by third-party experts, our assessment benefited from local knowledge gained through consultation with Aboriginal Groups, stakeholders and the community.

Step 1: What is there now?

Our first step is to understand what the conditions are now, before we begin our project. To do this, we look at existing studies and monitoring data, and we also conduct studies of our own.

In this step, we consider how our proposed project activities might interact with the environment. To do this, we develop the plans for our project, taking into consideration what we learned during Step 1.

Step 3: How can we respond?

In the third step, we develop ways to avoid or reduce any adverse effects that we’ve identified in Step 2 above.

Our assessment is based on a “worst-case” approach in the evaluation of potential effects that could result from our proposed project. By planning for the worst case, regardless of how unlikely it is, we ensure that we’ve designed our project in a manner that minimizes potential effects on the environment and on the community.

Step 4: What effects remain?

The fourth step determines what, if any, effects may remain. Despite our work to avoid or reduce effects, from time to time we will come up against a situation that we cannot avoid. So we need to evaluate it and figure our what kind of impact we could have, as well as develop mitigation measures to address it.

Step 5: What is our ongoing responsibility?

As part of our Environmental Assessment Application, we develop a range of management plans that describe in detail, how we plan to manage a variety of issues over the length our project is operating. But just because we have those plans, it doesn’t mean we stop looking for ways to make things better. Throughout operations, we will incorporate new information as it becomes available, and we will review our plans to ensure they’re working the way they were intended.

LNG Canada recognizes that the environment and natural surroundings are vital to the community. We are dedicated to working independently and with the community to identify and carry out ways to reduce and mitigate the impact of our facility footprint on the natural surroundings – in the Kitimat Valley, the Kitimat watershed and the Kitimat airshed.

MINIMIZING ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS AND BRINGING BENEFITS TO LOCAL COMMUNITIES Kitimat and the region are familiar with industry and industrial development. Many people have told us that they welcome our project and the benefits it will bring, but only if these benefits don’t come at too high a cost to the wellbeing of the community and the sustainability of the environment.

As part of our Environmental Assessment, we looked at both: what will our proposed project contribute to the community, and what potential impacts will it have? We are confident that the measures we are proposing to avoid, reduce and mitigate potential effects of our project means that the benefits of LNG industry development in northern British Columbia will make a lasting contribution to the communities in which we aspire to operate.

LNG Canada acknowledges the importance the community places on our company being an excellent corporate citizen and neighbour that contributes to the community. In addition to providing training, jobs and economic benefits, we will make social investments important to the community to positively impact community needs and priorities.

UNDERSTANDING AND PRESERVING COMMUNITY WAY OF LIFE IS A PRIORITY Some of the benefits our proposed project would bring, such as jobs during construction, can also create challenges if not managed properly.

LNG Canada will build a worker accommodation village to house the majority of the workers during the construction phase.

Based on our experience on other major projects and our consultation with the community, we have adopted a number of principles designed to prevent or reduce any added pressure on local community services. For example, the worker accommodation village will have its own water, sewage, health and recreational facilities.

Community health is also an important consideration. We evaluated the potential effects our project air emissions could have on community health and results indicate that while we would contribute air emissions, it would not be in such a way that the overall health of the public or the environment could be affected. Responsibly managing air emissions is a key design and operations priority for LNG Canada and will remain so throughout the life of our project.

LNG Canada understands that the ongoing wellbeing of the community and the environment are of paramount importance.

LNG Canada will consider the health and safety of local residents, employees and contractors in every decision we make.

RESPECTING THE IMPORTANCE OF THE KITIMAT RIVER ESTUARY AND THE MARINE ENVIRONMENT In our Assessment, we studied the potential effects our project could have on a number of species, including birds, fish, bears and whales.

Residents have told us that access to, and protection of, the Kitimat River Estuary and the coastal waters off of Kitimat are very important. This is why so many of our proposed management measures focus on protecting the health and accessibility of these valued resources.

• We will contribute to programs that restore ecological wetlands that are important for amphibian and bird breeding • We will observe the area during construction to determine how fish and other wildlife respond to our proposed measures and adapt our approach as needed

These management measures include: • LNG carriers will slow to speeds of 8 – 10 knots to reduce underwater noise and the chance of collisions with marine mammals • We will design our facility to optimize tidal flows and allow Anderson and Moore Creeks to flow unobstructed to the Kitimat River Estuary, and to provide safe passage for bears and other wildlife

LNG Canada Invites the Community to Comment on our Environmental Assessment Application

LNG Canada is aware of the importance to the community of maintaining and improving access to outdoor recreational opportunities. We will work with the local community to facilitate the creation of new projects that protect or enhance the natural environment and provide access to the outdoors and the water.

The Northern Connector Friday, November 14, 2014

HELPING B.C. ACHIEVE THE CLEANEST LNG We have designed our facility to be one of the world’s best performing LNG facilities in terms of greenhouse gas emissions. We will accomplish this by using a combination of energy-efficient natural gas turbines to drive the refrigeration compressors in the liquefaction process, and renewable electricity to be provided by BC Hydro. We will also reuse heat recovered from gas turbine exhausts to reduce fuel consumption required in other processes on the site.

Recently, the B.C. government set new standards for greenhouse gas emissions for the emerging B.C. LNG industry of 0.16 tonnes of carbon dioxide per tonne of LNG produced.

LNG Canada estimates our proposed facility will have a greenhouse gas emission intensity of about 0.15 tonne CO2e/tonne LNG produced, which is lower than these standards and among the lowest CO2-emitting LNG facilities in the world.

LNG Canada recognizes it will be one company among other industrial companies operating in the community. We will work with other local industry leaders to manage and mitigate cumulative social and environmental impacts, and create opportunities to enhance local benefits associated with industrial growth.

BECOMING THE PROJECT OF CHOICE From the beginning, we set out to be the project of choice for British Columbia. Every decision made during the planning and design process was done by keeping safety, economics, the environment and community interest top-of-mind.

WE SELECTED ENERGY EFFICIENT NATURAL GAS TURBINES for the LNG liquefaction process to minimize GHG emissions and fuel use WE ARE USING RENEWABLE POWER FROM THE BC HYDRO GRID for auxiliary electricity supply, to ensure our facility has one of the lowest greenhouse gas emissions in the world WE CHOSE AN EXISTING INDUSTRIAL SITE THAT HAS ALREADY BEEN ZONED FOR INDUSTRIAL USE, and an existing marine terminal, rather than a greenfield site, which will reduce the impact the project has on the environment WE WILL LOCATE OUR FLARE STACKS AS FAR AWAY FROM RESIDENTIAL HOMES AS THE SITE ALLOWS and will use watercooling to eliminate noise from air-cooling, and muffling devices on equipment where we can to further limit noise impacts WE HAVE DESIGNED OUR WORKER ACCOMMODATION VILLAGE TO BE SELF-SUFFICIENT in terms of water, sewage, transportation and medical services to reduce any added pressure on the local services and protect community way of life WE HAVE ALSO COME TO LEARN SOME OF THE THINGS THAT ARE IMPORTANT TO KITIMAT RESIDENTS including continued access to the water, which is something we have committed to working on together with industry and the local community

LNG Canada acknowledges that the commitments we make are for the long term. We will work with the community to develop an environmental, social and health monitoring and mitigation program that meets regulatory requirements, and we will share information on the program with the public for the life of our project.

Rainmakers drop heartbreaker at zones

By Kevin Campbell

THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - This one hurt.

There’s no dancing around how close these Charles Hays (CHSS) Rainmakers came to winning zones – three points to be exact – and it’ll sting for a little while.

The senior boys’ volleyball squad suffered a heartbreaking best of five, three-games-to-two loss to the Smithers Secondary Gryphons (SSS) in the senior boys’ AA zone championship held at Charles Hays on Saturday afternoon, and they went out after coming back from a two-games-to-none deficit.

The scoreboard went a little something like this for CHSS-SSS: 16-25, 17-25, 25-19, 25-23, 12-15.

A seemingly insurmountable comeback was placed in front of the Rainmakers, led by Grade 12 captain Kevin Rioux, after Smithers caught the ‘Makers napping in the first game and beat the home team.

After that, the team woke up and adjusted their game plan to the fast, hard-serving and accurate Gryphons side, who served notice this wouldn’t be an easy win or a zones to quickly forget for the Rainmakers.

‘Makers coach Stefan Delloch provided his troops with some words of wisdom after they fell in their second game. The team now faced elimination with one more loss, but it wouldn’t be on Delloch’s watch. “We just said we were going to take it one point at a time and it didn’t matter what had happened,

it mattered what was going to happen,” said Delloch after the game.

And it was in the third game that the Rainmakers started to assert themselves and turn the tide in front of a packed crowd, including some lively supporters from the women’s volleyball teams.

“Our passing was better in the last three games. We had a lot of attention to detail in the back row – digging up lots of balls. Everyone was on their toes all the time and our Grade 11s are big, tall guys.

They can put the ball down. We just have to make sure we get nice passes and then we’re rolling,” said Delloch.

It was in that agonizing fifth set where the Gryphons finally caught the momentum of the rolling ‘Makers and took an initial 4-0 lead, silencing the crowd, when the home side at last ran out of fuel.

As the team fought back and made it a 5-8 game before they were almost on par with their opponents catching up 11-12, the Gryphons pulled away for good, shattering dreams of provincials for the Rupertites.

Grade 11 student Justin McChesney was awarded Player of the Game for Charles Hays while Matt Fowler took the honours for the Gryphons.

For such a young squad, Delloch said he was impressed with how they handled their adversity in what was perhaps the most intense game of volleyball played at the high school in the last few years.

“I’m so proud of these guys – especially to have so many Grade 11s in our starting lineup, the way they fought back ... I would say most teams that have the amount of Grade 11s that we have would have folded in that scenario, but we ended up pushing all the way back to that fifth game,” said the coach.

Included in this year’s team is Rioux, McChesney, Aiden Bull, Paul Cavin, Kenny Cao, Tyler Duffy, Sean Harris, Alex Lindenthal, Cole Marogna, Jon Nelson and Cullen Riley.

If the Rainmakers achieved one thing from the match on Saturday it was that they served notice to the Northwest that they’ll be a tremendous force to be reckoned with next year.

“Five of our starters are coming back, so are both of our middles – one power, one offside and our centre ... next year’s team will actually be quite a bit stronger, so these guys have a lot to look forward to and they should be really proud of the effort they put in,” said Delloch.

As for the graduating Rioux, the bench boss said he can go out with his head held high.

“You’re in Grade 12, you don’t want to go out on a losing note but the guy played his heart out. He left it all on the court and that’s all you can ask of him so we congratulate him on a good career as a Rainmaker,” said Delloch.

This weekend the senior girls will hit the court for their zones championship.

Terrace ringette takes on northwest rivals in PG

By Anna Killen THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

CONTRIBUTED / THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

Terrace fights for the ring against Prince George during a game last month. Prince George hosts this weekend.

TERRACE - Northwest ringette teams are heading into their second tournament of the season this weekend in Prince George, looking to intensify competition which began at the Terrace tournament late last month.

The northwest league is comprised of teams from Terrace, Prince George, Houston and Quesnel, and the players get to know each other and the different styles of play as the season progresses, leading to healthy competition.

Terrace’s younger teams had a strong showing at the Terrace tournament, held the last weekend in October, and have impressive numbers this year. “It’s wonderful to see a lot of younger kids playing ... the younger groups did very well,” said Terrace Ringette Association’s Erika Nicholson. “They’re the foundation.”

And the “B” U16 team “held their own” against a strong “A” division Prince George team, an experience that Nicholson said will push the Terrace players to up their game.

She said it will be interesting to see how they respond playing the same team this coming weekend and to note the improvement.

Terrace ringette usually stands out in the

northwest league and against teams that are drawing from a larger pool of players, she said, noting that the goal is to always have the number of players in Terrace grow.

“The kids that play it absolutely love it,” she said, noting that it’s a true team sport and “you can’t be a lone star.”

It’s typical for there to be higher numbers in the younger teams than in the older teams, as is the case in many sports.

But there are many players who stay involved in ringette until they are in their 40s – the key is to let players know about those opportunities.

“It’s not just hockey that has that,” said Nicholson, noting there are rec league ringette opportunities just as there are rec league hockey opportunities.

To that end, three Terrace ringette players travelled to the Lower Mainland last weekend for an open tournament with a team from Prince George. It’s a league that sees mostly players in their 30s and 40s – very experienced players – but the Prince George team is mainly players in their 20s.

And it’s another example of the closeknit ringette community, with many of the players having been involved in the league for years – and developing healthy rivalries as a result.

Dates set for LNG public hearing

Re-elect

Mary Murphy

By Martina Perry THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - The City of Prince Rupert has set dates for a public information meeting and public hearings on the liquefied natural gas export terminal being proposed on the harbour across from Seal Cove.

The city started talks with WCC LNG, a partnership between Imperial Oil and Exxon Mobile, about the possibility of constructing a LNG export terminal on the west side of District Lot (DL) 444, which the city had recently acquired from the provincial government.

The city is in the process of including DL 444 into its Official Community Plan, recommending the land be split into two parcels and put under different zoning regulations.

City staff recommend the easterly portion of DL 444, where WCC LNG is investigating its facility, be put under the heavy industrial “M5” zone, which is specific to liquefied natural gas development. Coun. Joy Thorkelson suggested an amendment be put in place that would ban developments with any oil product from being located within the area, which was supported by members of council.

It’s being recommended that the westerly portion of DL 444, which is closest to Kaien Island, be preserved for a future-public space with access to the waterfront. City staff have proposed the area be designated as public facilities, allowing for uses such as park and recreation space, public institutions, cemeteries and wind power projects.

The topic will be brought to residents at a public meeting, set to take place between 5 an 7 p.m. on Nov. 25 at the Highliner Plaza Hotel. The meeting will have city staff and WCC LNG provide the public with informa-

for Councillor

For the Future and Stability of Kitimat tion on the project.

Then, in December, the city will host a public hearing on the zoning proposal, where residents can voice their thoughts to the newly-elected council. If required, a second public hearing would be held.

Both the meeting and hearing will include the findings of Dr. Barb Faggetter, an independent scientist who was hired to undertake a study considering the environmental impacts designating DL 444 under the suggested zones could have.

Robert Long, Prince Rupert city manager, noted the city did not pay for the study.

“As Legacy Inc. is a wholly-owned company of the city, and had the resources to (hire Faggetter) that came directly from the proponent and not from the city’s budget, we went ahead and did that,” he said.

With all of the confusion regarding the role and operations of the Prince Rupert Legacy Corporation, Coun.

Anna Ashley suggested that any information available on the group be posted onto the city’s website.

The newly-elected council will consider the approval of zonings at the Dec. 8 regular council meeting.

Coun. Gina Garon excused herself from the discussion for an unspecified reason.

Two-storey homes, square metre for square metre, provide the most living space on a property, and this three-bedroom family home is no exception.

Entry is through a covered porch with a veranda to the left. Once in the foyer, double doors open to a den, with the U-shaped staircase to the second floor beyond. A window above the stairwell will let in lots of natural light.

The great room, separated from the foyer by an archway, has a lofty sloped ceiling that is open to the floor above. A gas fireplace is flanked by entertainment units, and large windows look onto a covered patio at the back of the home.

From the dining area, access to the covered deck is easy, through sliding glass doors. A prep island divides the kitchen from the dining area, which has large windows overlooking the back garden.

Natural light will enter the kitchen through windows over the double sink, which is set into a corner at an angle. The U-shaped counter configuration will provide adequate working space as well as efficiency. A walk-in pantry will offer extra storage space.

Across from the powder room located near the foyer is a handy coat closet. Another closet is included in the laundry room, which has access to the double garage, large enough to include a workshop.

Upstairs, the master suite looks out to the back garden. The generous en-suite includes a soaker tub as well as double basins and a shower stall. The walk-in closet will be roomy enough for

a couple’s clothing and accessories.

The second and third bedrooms share a three-piece bath. A linen closet is located outside the entrance to the third bedroom.

Part of the second floor is open to the great room below, and is railed for safety.

On the outside, the home is clad in horizontal siding, with wooden shingles and decorative woodwork in the gables. Pilasters with brick bases mark the entry and veranda, and brick accents flank the two garage doors.

This home measures 42 feet wide by 58 feet deep, for a total of 2,079 square feet of living space, not counting the unfinished basement included with the plans. Ceilings rise to nine feet throughout the main floor, except where otherwise indicated.

Plans for design 7-3-1000 are available for $755 (set of 5), $860(set of 8) and $944 for a super set of 10. Also add $30.00 for Priority charges within B.C. or $55.00 outside of B.C. Please add 12% H.S.T., 13% H.S.T. Or 5% G.S.T (where applicable) to both the plan price and Priority charges.

TO ALL RESIDENTS

Sitka is our sweet senior! He is an American Bulldog/Lab Cross who is about 8 years old. Sitka has lived most of his life on a chain, but still one of the most adoring dogs we have met. Sitka will need a calm owner, to help him learn what life off the chain is like and let him experience new things. Sitka would benefit from crate training, but likely it would need to be done slowly. If you are interested in giving this sweet senior a second chance, please call the BC SPCA Prince Rupert Branch

Prince Rupert mayoral candidates faceoff in public debate

By Shaun Thomas

THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT The four candidates hoping to lead Prince Rupert through the next four years gathered at the Lester Centre on Nov. 4 for the first – and only – mayoral debate.

Challengers Lee Brain, Tony Briglio and Sheila GordonPayne joined incumbent Jack Mussallem for a 90-minute public forum that saw each answer six questions, two prepared by forum organizers and four from a panel of Prince Rupert media representatives.

Each candidate also had the opportunity for rebuttal based on the answer given by their opponent.

The forum began with candidates introducing themselves and outlining their vision for Prince Rupert as the next great port city.

Gordon-Payne, who pointed to her leadership experience with Northern Health, began the evening by telling those in attendance that a bright future was closer than some imagined.

“We need to make

LNG and port developments work for us now ... we don’t have to wait, we need to start today,” she said, adding her vision included a council that was the envy of others in the region for what it has accomplished.

While touching on ideas including the regionalization of services and maintaining a fulltime the fire department, Mussallem said planning was key to success.

“We require a common sense, balanced approach ... it is critical to have a plan to approach proponents and other levels of government with concerns about development and ask for help,” he said.

Brain, who said he was inspired to pursue community development after seeing the socio-economic challenges facing some, said the time for a change in leadership is now.

“Prince Rupert is crying out for inspired leadership ... I believe it is time to move away from leaders who divide rather than unite,” he said.

Briglio, who said he was experienced leading organizations “very sim-

ilar to council”, said a future as a port city must not discriminate when it comes to benefits.

“We must be mindful that the opportunities are made available to all residents, not just a chosen few,” he said.

In terms of growing the tax base, Brain said the key is to be more welcoming, offer more support to new businesses and look at all industries.

“If LNG doesn’t go through, there are others there. We need to be seen as a community that is welcoming to new industry,” he said, pledging to provide a welcome package from council to new businesses.

For Briglio, bringing new industry into Prince Rupert starts with how the city conducts itself and presents itself to potential business.

“The first thing to do is go back to what we are going to do for ourselves before going out to business with our hands out ... we constantly talk about how down the economy is and then expect people to want to locate here,” he said, adding it is time to “take our destiny into

our own hands”.

Gordon-Payne similarly said the city needs to make itself an attractive place so that business will want to give Prince Rupert a chance.

“We need to be seen as being interested in rebuilding our industrial sector ... we need to be welcoming, responsive and respectful to any interested industry,” she said.

Mussallem pointed to the available land the city has as a potential catalyst for business development.

“We need to look after the raw land inventory we have and work toward the industry we want ... it’s up to us to determine what we want in this community and go out and attract it,” he said.

When it comes to increasing engagement between the community and council, Mussallem pointed to the Committee of the Whole meetings and his open-door policy.

“I am there every day and people are welcome to phone ... I am open to appointments or people can come to council,” he said.

Brain pointed to ini-

tiatives such as monthly town hall meetings and monthly written updates to improve engagement.

“As it stands, there is no space to come forward to air your concerns outside of the Committee of the Whole or getting on the agenda,” he said.

Acknowledging restrictions placed on officials by the Community Charter, Briglio said he would be as open as legally possible.

“Whatever I could tell you, if I were mayor, you would know,” he said.

Gordon-Payne said bringing more voices to the table was the best way for council to move forward.

“We have to stop going it alone. That is not getting us anywhere ... you need to bring the users of the infrastructure to the table,” she said.

To create an environment where small business can thrive, Gordon-Payne said the city should focus on reinvigorating the industrial sector, Mussallem said a balanced approach was needed, Brain again pointed to welcoming new business and removing restrictive poli-

cies and Briglio said restrictive bylaws need to be removed.

In their closing comments, each candidate made their case as the best candidate for mayor. Gordon-Payne again pointed to her experience working with a large budget and staff as a manager with Northern Health, Briglio pointed to his leadership

experience and business experience as the “skill set” that would make him the best choice, Mussallem pointed to his experience as both a three-term mayor with more than 20 years in municipal government and Brain pointed to the need for a change in the municipal government and his fresh perspective and ideas.

In the front row, from the left, is Knights of Columbus treasurer Erik Hernes with foundation chair Ron Bartlett and Knights of Columbus Grand Knight Gualter Rego.

Rotary auction gets high return

By Margaret Speirs THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

TERRACE – The 54th annual Terrace Rotary Auction came close to last year’s record amount of money raised.

This year, $44,000 was raised compared to last year’s $46,000.

That’s with a total value of $72,000 for the 405 items, which gave a return of about 73 per cent, said auction chair Brian Downie.

Nearly all of the bids came in online, 95 per cent, said Downie.

New this year was the live audio and video of the auction on its website.

“People liked it and it allowed us to get outside of the Citywest cable audience. Those on satellite could pick it up so it was great and we’re

going to keep it for next year,’ said Downie.

The highest valued item, 200,000 Aeroplan points, valued at $7,500 went to the bidder who paid $4,100.

“So that hopefully will be an item in next year’s auction,” said Downie.

Expected for next year, but ready this year without much advertising of it, was the addition of an app for cell phone users.

“It allowed you to navigate a lot easier through the different items and rebid on particular items,” said Downie.

“I think that will be very popular.”

After the auction, the rotary club sent out an email to buyers to ask what they liked and what they would like to

see and some ideas for improvement have already come back to the club he added.

“We certainly appreciate the support of businesses that donate items or services or cash,” said

Downie. “That’s what really makes the auction.”

The auction and the Riverboat Days Duck Race are the two major fundraisers for the Terrace Rotary Club.

Dear Terrace, My name is Lucy Praught and I am running for the position of councilor. I have been a long time resident of Terrace and am an alumni of Northwest Community College and UNBC. For many us we first met when I owned Out Spoke’N bike and sport. It was here that I discovered not a love of bicycles but a love of community.

Like so many of you who were impacted when Industry left town, I was also impacted dramatically with the closing of Eurocan. Having to face losing my business I had to come to terms with it was never what I was doing in work that mattered but in who I being. That the skills and knowledge I had acquired with your help could be transferred as I moved forward.

I’ve been blessed to be carried by a family who supported me and great mentors who stepped into my life and taught me that we can also be the community that steps in and decides to collectively move ahead.

After successfully challenging an MBA I found myself working in Industry a long ways from bicycles.

It was through this experience that I was able to better understand the need for communication and collaboration among industry, the community and us as individuals.

Through authentic and meaningful dialogue, ideas that are challenged and plans put into action we have the ability to embrace days of opportunity and sustainable growth.

“People are more open to looking at ideas and starting their own small businesses.”

Community Futures is funded through the federal government and offers services such as business plan development.

They also act as a lender to those who seek out money to get a business off the ground.

From notary services to property managers, Gregg said he’s seen a number of businesses get off the ground in recent years.

He also said the majority of people he sees are from people who were born and raised in the area.

Learning to use technologies such as social media has been a great benefit for some businesses too.

“For certain kinds of business it’s very successful,” he said.

Community Futures also released a general list of five tips for success, noting that a flexible business plan, with realistic goals, is very important.

Being on top of the cash flow is also very important to reduce potential surprise if out-going and incoming funds don’t line up.

Study the competition and treating employees well also rounds out the list.

And of course, never stop learning.

worries in Alaska

By Tom Fletcher

THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

ANCHORAGE - Energy and Mines Minister Bill Bennett hopes for a closer relationship with Alaska after speaking to a mining conference in Anchorage and meeting one of the new power players in U.S. resource policy.

Alaska Senator Lisa Murkowski is expected to take over next year as chair of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee after her Republican Party won a majority in the U.S. Senate in

the Nov. 4 midterm elections.

Murkowski plans to work for senate approval of the Keystone XL oil pipeline to the U.S. Gulf Coast that has been held up by the former Democrat majority.

Bennett’s trip was mainly to reassure Alaska’s fishing and tourism industries about environmental controls for six proposed mines in northwest B.C. watersheds that drain to the Alaska coast. Those projects are on Alaska’s political map after the Aug. 1 tailings dam failure at Mount Polley coppergold mine near Williams Lake.
