Players question oil, gas sponsorships By Shaun Thomas

STK#0863

“For the service you deserve“

VANCOUVER - Participants from seven First Nations perform the drum drill at the Nisga’a New Year Hobiyee 2015 celbration in Vancouver on Feb. 6. The two-day celebration marks the changing of the February moon. The event was held at the PNE Forum and attended by a large number of people.

PRINCE RUPERT - The threetime defending All Native Basketball Tournament Seniors Division champions, the Skidegate Saints, are calling for an end to oil and gas industry support of the event which they say is compromising the overall tournament experience. In a letter dated Jan. 21 and signed by 14 members of the team, the Saints call on the tournament committee to reject “compromising” sponsorship from companies planning to export oil or liquefied natural gas from the North Coast — including current sponsors BG Canada, Pacific NorthWest LNG and Aurora LNG — as well as those

planning to construct pipelines to carry the product to the terminal, such as current sponsor TransCanada. There are no companies associated with oil movement sponsoring this year’s tournament. The Saints, who will look for their fourth straight title this week, claim the presence this sponsorship provides has ruined some of the enjoyment of years past. “Looking back at photos and memories from last year, we can’t help but be saddened by the propaganda of the oil and gas industry littered throughout the civic centre,” wrote the team. “These great memories are tainted with the sponsorship signs and imply an acceptance of the industry by all participants

and communities,” wrote the team. “The co-opting of the All Native Basketball Tournament by the oil and gas industry is an attempt to gain a social licence for their ill-conceived projects and is yet another chapter in this continual assault on our culture and way of life ... we are in opposition to the fracked liquefied natural gas and oil projects that are being proposed and if playing in the tournament is associated with these projects, then we will have to consider not attending the tournament in the future.” Part of the expenses incurred by the tournament come from a per diem paid to players and coaches still competing, a number that reached $45,000 in 2013, but the Saints say that is an ex-

pense they could do without. “We are not there for the fancy prizes or per diem, but for the pride of representing our nation,” the team wrote. When contacted by Black Press, 2014 Best Defensive Player Jason Alsop said the team has not yet had a response from the tournament committee. However, he had nothing further to say on the matter. “I think the letter speaks for itself and we have nothing else to add,” he said. All Native Basketball Tournament president Peter Haugan declined to comment on the letter or the request of the Saints to forgo sponsorship from oil and gas companies, but noted the tournament has turned down oil-related sponsorship in the past.

Kitimat boosts communications By Cameron Orr

THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

KITIMAT - A dated communications system at the District of Kitimat offices will be updated which will pave the way for smoother live broadcasts. That’s the hope with a budget approval totalling $61,850 which will fix the town’s telephone system and replace the video system in the council chambers at the Northwest Community College campus. Basically the District’s information systems coordinator plans to install a computer at the town’s offices that will provide a broadcast feed both to Citywest and to the Internet for live-streaming and archiving. The work, however, ties in to the greater plans of fixing phone lines, and installing a wireless link from the college campus council chambers to the town offices at City Centre Mall. As the IT coordinator Paul Mitchell says in his report, the city offices run on an Internet

package that is inferior to many homes in Kitimat. That is while supporting 84 computers and 12 servers. The town has found they can keep their same rates with Telus if they upgrade to business plans, but they’ll have to upgrade their system, which has little capacity for any new lines or phone services like voicemails. Meanwhile their improved Internet will hopefully lead to a more reliable television broadcast. As it is the District can’t effectively solve the issues as it seems the feed going to Citywest for the broadcast is fine as it leaves Kitimat. New cameras and a new system at the town offices will help the town track the broadcast better, as well as provide an Internet broadcast which will simultaneously archive the meetings for future viewings on the Internet. Given the low reliability of the system in place councillors were eager to find solutions to the broadcast and so to be in touch with voters.

Tire gets loose and hits vehicles NEW HAZELTON - New Hazelton RCMP responded to 79 calls during the week of January 29-February 4. January 29 - At 1:30 pm, police attended a collision near the Hagwilget Bridge on Hwy 62. A vehicle had been crossing the bridge when its left rear tire disconnected from the axle. The loose tire then struck two other vehicles causing minor damage. January 30 - At 6:50 pm, police were called to attend a residence on the 4900 block of 7 Ave in New Hazelton. Suspect(s) entered the home through a broken rear window. Some low value items were stolen. February 2 - At 12:26 pm, RCMP received a call concerning a hit and run collision from January 31. A gray Ford F150 was parked in the parking lot of the Kispiox Community Hall during the evening. A second vehicle struck the passenger side rear door and quarter panel causing minor damage. New Hazelton RCMP are happy to announce the annual RCMP Junior Youth Academy on March 7, 2015 at the Gitwangak Community Hall between 9 am and 3 pm. Any and all youths aged 5-12 are invited to attend to learn about policing duties and training. Lunch will be provided.

Nasty phone call TERRACE - Terrace RCMP report a woman received multiple phone calls from an unknown number. She eventually spoke with a man who had an accent and wanted the PC code from her computer. The woman doesn’t own a computer, said police, and the man uttered a threat as the conversation turned nasty. Police talked about safety measures with the woman.

Brain leaving job to focus on duties as Prince Rupert mayor By Shaun Thomas THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - Prince Rupert Mayor Lee Brain has resigned from his position with the Prince Rupert School District and will be turning his full attention to his role at city hall. “I’ve been doing full-time mayor’s work at the moment and every day have been doing work with the school district. What would happen is I would go to work, but then

be pulled out for city business and I didn’t feel this was fair to my employer,” Brain said, noting he is done with his current job at the end of this month. “I’m doing it because it needs to be done ... we have so much going on in town that for us to hit the mark we could be hitting, I need to be available in a full-time capacity.” Brain gave his notice on Feb. 1, shortly after the idea of making the position full-time came up at a

“I’m doing it because it needs to be done.” Lee Brain meeting of council, but the mayor said that had no impact on his decision. “Regardless of what council

decides I am going to do this because I am passionate about the position and I am having fun doing it,” he said. “This isn’t about getting more money for the job. I knew what I was getting into and I knew it was going to be a lot of work ... I can get by on the wage the mayor’s position pays now.” The idea of changing the mayor’s pay to reflect the full-time nature of the job was brought up on Jan. 12 by Coun. Barry Cunning-

ham, but tabled until budget discussions take place later this year. “I believe right now we have too much going on so the mayor should be here a little more than two or three days a week and working on weekends when other people aren’t available ... In the last month and a half so much has changed and so much more is coming at city hall and city council that I really think these things have to be addressed,” said Cunningham at the time.

KITIMAT — The Kitimat Fire Department didn’t have the final figures but estimate that between 160 and 180 centimeters fell on Kitimat during the now infamous winter storm from February 5 to 9. The Family Day Weekend Blizzard, if we’ll call it that, ground Kitimat to a halt with vehicles stuck in roadways as snow continued to fall, and had snow clearing crews working constantly to get things going. The power was also out a significant portion of the weekend and Kitamaat Village was evacuated for a short while due to lack of power.

The sessions will include discussions on a variety of trades and the skills and training needed to become qualied to perform a specic trade. The sessions will also include an opportunity for participants to log onto the ITABC website and make a selection of a trade that interests them and take an assessment test to determine their readiness to become an apprentice in that trade. If you are interested, please call 250.627.8822 and leave your name and phone number with the Receptionist or on the answering machine. As we have limited seating in the classroom, we will get back to you with information on the date of the session you can attend. We look forward to seeing you.

Pipeline builder on task bcclassified.com to meet gov’t conditions By Margaret Speirs THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

TERRACE - Pipeline builder TransCanada continues to work through the 32 conditions it needs to meet to gain the full provincial go ahead for a natural gas pipeline to feed a planned liquefied natural gas plant at Kitimat, one of its vice presidents told a Kitimat-Stikine regional district session here Jan. 30. The Coastal GasLink line, to be 48 inches in diameter to provide gas for the planned LNG Canada plant at Kitimat, was approved by the province late last year but first needs to meet conditions as specific as employee behaviour, Bruce Wells said. “The 32 conditions hold our feet to the fire,” he said. Clearing work along the 415-mile route from northeastern B.C. to Kitimat has not started and won’t start until the customer, LNG Canada, first receives its own environmental approval and then decides if the project will go ahead. When it comes to employee behaviour, Wells said workers on construction camps will be subject to a one-strike rule when it comes to narcotics, meaning if

Pipeline route now longer than it was first estimated TERRACE - The company that would build the natural gas pipeline to a planned liquefied natural gas (LNG) plant at Prince Rupert is still working on a final cost after lengthening the route. First estimated at approximately 730 kilometres, the Prince Rupert Gas Transmission project is now to be 900 kilometres long, connecting gas fields in northeastern B.C. via a single 48-inch diameter pipe to the Pacific NorthWest LNG project on Lelu Island near Prince Rupert. For now builder TransCanada is sticking to the $5 billion target figure set out in 2013 when the route was to be 730 kilometres. “We have not arrived at a final cost for the project – beyond the original $5 billion estimate - as we continue to make small adjustments based on ongoing discussions with stakeholders,” said TransCanada official Garry Bridgewater. Some of the route changes,

making the pipeline longer, came fairly early on the in the planning when the company opted to avoid nature conservancies east and north of Prince Rupert. One of those areas, the Khutzeymateen, contains a grizzly bear sanctuary. As a result, the pipeline will now be laid underwater beginning at Nass Bay on the north coast before turning south to surface on Lelu Island. Malaysian company Petronas, the majority owner of the Pacific NorthWest LNG project, said pipeline construction costs were a factor when it decided late last year to delay a decision on proceeding or not proceeding. Bridgewater said it would be incorrect to assume that underwater construction would necessarily add to construction costs. “There are many factors to consider when laying pipe – terrain, access, etc. We are continuing to refine our estimate of costs

prior to the final investment decision by our customer. We won’t know how final costs will play out until we conclude discussions with aboriginal groups and the various stakeholders along the route,” he said. The company also chose a route on the north side of the Kispiox Valley in the Hazeltons after its first choice, a route on the southside of the valley, was opposed by residents. Both TransCanada and the provincial government have signed agreements with the Nisga’a Lisims Government providing cash and other benefits to allow the pipeline to cross through Nisga’a Lands. One of the provisions of the agreement between TransCanada and the Nisga’a is an option for the Nisga’a to take gas from the pipeline should their plans for a LNG plant solidify. That supply option has not affected the project’s costs, said Bridgewater.

Relief coming for rich, poor in B.C. budget pressure, to assist people in greatest need.” NDP house leader Mike Farnworth said he is hopeful the child support clawback policy will be changed after more than a year of protest by the opposition. And he said the government isn’t telling the whole story about balancing the budget using “tax increases by another name. “You’re going to see higher Medical Services Plan premiums, higher ICBC rates, we’re already seeing higher fees for camping,” Farnworth said. The next budget will also provide tax relief for the wealthiest B.C. residents, as a two-year increase on incomes more than $150,000 a year comes to an end. De Jong imposed the 2.1 per cent hike in his pre-election budget in 2013, after then-NDP leader Adrian Dix promised a similar move to help balance the books. The recent plunge in oil prices has had a major impact on revenues to Alberta, Saskatchewan and Newfoundland, but B.C. has largely escaped that due to continued gas production but little oil from B.C. petroleum fields. De Jong emphasized that with the continued glut of shale gas produced across North America, it remains an urgent priority to develop liquefied natural gas exports to Asia before B.C. Finance Minister Mike de Jong. revenues fall further for lack of sales.

VICTORIA - B.C. will likely be the only province in Canada to report a balanced budget for the current year and project surpluses for the next three years, Finance Minister Mike de Jong says. In a briefing for reporters on what to expect when the annual budget is presented Feb. 17, de Jong said the surplus for the current year will be larger than the $444 million forecast in November. Corporate and personal income tax has been stronger than expected, but there is no certainty that will continue into the new fiscal year that begins April 1. The second straight surplus after billions in deficits the previous four years will be used to pay down debt, but there is some room for helping poorer people, de Jong said. He hinted that this may include a change to the long-standing practice of deducting spousal child support payments from social assistance and disability payments to single parents. “There are some areas where we believe there have been pressures on the programming side,” de Jong said. “We have a little more ability to deal with them and relieve some of that

A NEW OPPORTUNITY FOR NORTHERN BC

Why Does LNG Matter to Me?

up to

New local jobs will give young people and future generations more opportunities to stay in northern BC instead of having to move away to find good jobs.

Pacific NorthWest LNG would generate approximately $1 billion in annual new tax revenue income that could be used to provide public services in BC communities.

JOBS AND TRAINING We’re committed to hiring as many local workers as possible for construction and operations jobs at our facility. To support this important goal, we are developing training programs for local workers interested in working in the LNG sector. Pacific NorthWest LNG will create new vendor opportunities for businesses and contractors in the northwest. We will be posting more details of these programs, including how to apply, on our website www.PacificNorthWestLNG.com in the near future.

4,500

jobs during construction

330 long-term careers operating the facility

300 spinoff jobs in the community

An artist’s interpretation of what Pacific NorthWest LNG may look like if constructed. For demonstration purposes only.

Key Facts about Pacific NorthWest LNG WHAT IS LNG? LNG is short for “liquefied natural gas” – which is natural gas that has been chilled to -162 degrees Celsius, converting it from gas to a liquid.

PacificNorthWestLNG.com

WHAT’S NEEDED FOR THE PROJECT? Natural gas produced in northeast BC would be transported to our proposed facility in Port Edward by the Prince Rupert Gas Transmission Pipeline. The pipeline would carry natural gas in its vapour state, which would not cover or coat surfaces if a pipeline event occurred.

WHY IS BC EXPORTING NATURAL GAS TO ASIA? The demand for energy is increasing, and natural gas is a cleaner fuel source than other fossil fuels. Liquefying natural gas allows us to access new markets for BC-produced natural gas, creating and protecting jobs for BC families.

Lieutenant Governor Judith Guichon’s duties include reading the speech from the throne to begin the spring legislature session. Here latest speech from the throne was delivered Feb. 10.

Government soft pedals LNG in 2015 speech from the throne

By Tom Fletcher

THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

VICTORIA - The B.C. government presented a cautious outlook for 2015 with its speech from the throne Tuesday, predicting a rural revival through industrial growth while lowering earlier aggressive expectations for mining and natural gas exports. Read by Lieutenant Governor Judith Guichon to begin the spring legislature session, the speech announced the formation of a rural advisory com-

mittee to “provide independent and impartial advice on helping rural B.C. increase opportunities, manage growth and meet its full potential in communities big and small.” As the government continues to await investment decisions for liquefied natural gas facilities, the speech noted that LNG “could create 100,000 jobs and the revenues to eliminate our debt,” adding that exports are needed to maintain a gas industry that already employs 13,000 people.

The speech referred to five new mines opening since 2011, but avoided mention of northeast coal mines that have closed due to low commodity prices that also threaten the continued operation of metal mines in B.C. Much of the speech touts earlier achievements, including the carbon tax on fuels and a settlement with B.C. public school teachers after a bitter strike last year. The government confirmed it is about to table a third straight balanced budget on Feb. 17,

and hinted at new spending aimed at expanding the economy. “This year in transportation, your government is working in partnership with Alberta and Saskatchewan through the New West Partnership to add capacity and resolve bottlenecks to strengthen our AsiaPacific gateway,” the speech said. The government also plans a new “medal of good citizenship” to recognize those who donate their time and money to improve their communities.

Current facility will be under renovation for approximately 8 months.

Family seeks tips on arson raine and the family,” he said, noting he remains optimistic given an unsolved murder dating back four decades was recently solved. Both Rochon and Lymburner asked people with any information to come forward, whether they feel it is important or not. “I am begging and pleading that anyone with information about this unsolved homicide, no matter how small, contact the RCMP.

PRINCE RUPERT - On the 25th anniversary of a Prince Rupert fire that killed four members of her family, Lorraine Rochon joined Superintendent Ward Lymburner at B.C. RCMP headquarters in Surrey to appeal to the province for help in finding closure. “Our family’s life changed forever that day. Birthdays, holidays and milestones are a time for remembrance not for celebration. We are always left wondering why ... it’s really hard to go on day-by-day when you think about it or see other families celebrating and wondering why that can’t be your family,” she said of the Feb. 5, 1990 fire that claimed the life of her mother Helga, sisters Sherri and Pauline and seven-month-old niece Kimberly. “I have a son of my own and it breaks my heart. He doesn’t have a grandmother and there are aunts and a cousin he will never know. You always want to know why this happened and who is responsible. It never goes away and is with you 24/7.” Noting RCMP are confident the fire that claimed the lives of the Rochon family members was a second attempt at arson following an earlier unsuccessful attempt in the same time period, Superintendent Lymburner said the case is still very much top of mind for RCMP. “We don’t rest when investigations take this long. It makes it tough, but we don’t close the door. We want closure for Lor-

be,” said Rochon, who also took time to address the arsonist who sent the family a letter four years ago. “To the person responsible, know we will never give up. If you didn’t intend for anyone to die, know that only the truth will set you free.” Anyone with information is asked to contact the Prince Rupert RCMP at 250-627-0700 or anonymously call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Permit given for mill test at Red Chris

A15

Making a statement …

By Josh Massey

THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

TERRACE - A mining company in the middle of responding to recommendations about how to make its tailings pond more secure has now started using the pond to test its milling machinery. Amid controversy surrounding the Mount Polley mine dam failure report released two weeks ago, mine owner Imperial Metals received a waste water discharge permit for its Red Chris gold and copper project located northeast of Terrace. “Red Chris has received an interim approval to operate the TSF (Tailings Storage Facility) in order to test the mill but not to go into production,” said a statement from the Ministry of Energy and Mines. The permit is effective from February through May, after which Red Chris “will have to apply to the Chief Inspector [of Mines] for approval and will have to show that the TSF has performed as designed.” Initial operations of the mine, which was scheduled to go into service last year, were on hold as the company financed a third party review of the tailings facility using a company chosen by the Tahltan Central Council which acts as the governing voice on Tahltan traditional territory. The review, released in October 2014, was part of a joint management agreement signed between the Tahltan Central Council and Imperial Metals in August 2014 following the Mount Polley disaster which spilled 25 million cubic metres of toxic tailings fluid into Quesnel Lake in the Cariboo area. The independent review noted that glacial till and sand underneath the proposed Red Chris tailings facility was a concern and that the foundation soils were “a major design issue.” “This valley is underlain by over 90m of permeable glacial fluvial sands and gravels with interlayers of at least one glacial till unit,” said the Red Chris tailings review. An investigation into the Mount Polley tailings facility failure released two weeks ago indicated that loose glacial till was a central reason for the breaking of that dam. The mines ministry says it is satisfied with the actions taken by Imperial Metals at Red Chris to mitigate the danger noted in the third party review and has granted the company a temporary effluent discharge permit so it can begin testing the mine’s mill which will process ore. “Red Chris and their consultants have done extensive review of their subsurface hydrogeology and have made adjustments as per third party review recommendations,” said the ministry statement. According to ministry official David Haslam, “this additional work has resulted in a better understanding of the local and regional hydrogeology, however the basic conceptual model did not fundamentally change.” The tests being done between February and May are related to the mill which will crush up the rock in order to extract the copper and gold. The effectiveness of the tailings facility will also be monitored at this time, said the ministry.

In Loving Memory

TYLER FRANCIS DER December 9, 1983 ~ February 5, 2015

It is with inconceivable sorrow that we announce the sudden passing of Tyler Francis Der who was tragically taken from us on February 5th, 2015 at the young age of 31. Devastatingly missed and loved more than he ever imagined by his mom Maureen Tighe, father Allan Der, stepfather Grant Oystensen and brother Brett Oystensen. Ty is survived by grandparents Louise Der, Christena Tighe, Ed Oystensen, loving aunts and uncles Christy, Mary, Cathy, Jeannie, Janet, Francis, Douglas, Hoi-Yin, Anne, Andrea, Penelope, Tobias, their spouses and many cousins. Also lovingly missed by his girlfriend Hailey Bjorndal. Ty and Hailey were embarking on â€˜their new adventureâ€™ together to Grand Prairie when the accident occurred. Ty was a true Rupert boy, affectionately known as â€œDerâ€? to all his best friends, and never happier than when he was with them. Ty was a loving, gentle and kind person who was known by all for his unwavering loyalty to his friends, â€˜hisâ€™ Baltimore Ravens and his massive infectious smile. A Celebration of Life for Ty will be held in the Convention Centre at Chances on Sunday February 15th from 2 - 5pm. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to â€œTyler Der/Hailey Bjorndal Fundâ€? at the Northern Savings Credit Union - to help her on her way.

Dear Arthur, One year has passed since you left us and you left a big emptiness in our lives. You are always in our thoughts and forever in our hearts. You are missed by your wife Gloria, step sons Jason and Julien and your friends. In Loving Memory

Mary Emilie Mattern M February 4, 1936 to February 15, 2014

Time does not heal the heartache, or stop a silent tear, Nor take away the longing, of one we loved so dear. Our lives go on without you but things are not the same, Itâ€™s hard to hide the heartache when someone speaks your name. We think of you every day and talk about you too, we have such precious memories but we wish we still had you. They say its a beautiful journey, from the old world to the new, someday weâ€™ll make that journey which will lead us straight to you. And when we reach that Garden, in which there is no pain, weâ€™ll put our arms around you, and never part again.

Forever in our hearts,

Judy (Phil), Sharon, Edward (Kelly), Geordie and families.

Stewart back in the cage, already 2-0 By Kevin Campbell

THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

TERRACE RIVER KINGS PHOTO / THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

TERRACE - For the second time in the team’s history, the Terrace River Kings are going to the CIHL championship finals. The Kings, down 1-0 to the Smithers Steelheads in the series, took two decisive games at home last weekend to claim the western division title. Fans that braved the snow for Saturday night’s game were treated to a 5-3 Kings win, forcing game three on Sunday. The Kings took that game 4-3 and are now looking to this weekend, where they will face off against the Williams Lake Stampeders, who took the eastern division series over the Quesnel Kangaroos 2-1 with two back-to-back wins over the weekend. First game in the series is in Terrace, tomorrow, Feb. 14 – doors at 7 p.m., puck drops at 8 p.m.

Kitimat Atoms Reds go undefeated Contributed THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

KITIMAT - The Kitimat Atoms Sjitras Red team went 5-0 in an amazing weekend win at a tournament held in Terrace from January 23 to 25. Kitimat rallied hard in their first game to beat Terrace Red 5-4, after being down 3-1 at the start. Chase Pacheco, Chad Silve and Cory Mertin were notable scorers for that match, while Ayden Baldo took the Heart and Hustle Award. Terrace Black faced Kitimat in the second game which ended in a lop-sided 15-3 win for Kitimat. Pacheco, Silve, Mertin, Baldo, and Camryn Ward and Evan Shelley were the scorers for this one, with Ward earning the Heart and Hustle award for the match. The multi-coloured parade continued with Terrace Green next up, with Kitimat dominating 10-0 for the game. Logan Tweedy had the shutout, while game scorers were Pacheco, Silva, Makenna Viveiros and Mertin. Chad Silva took the Heart and Hustle. Kitimat then went on to

CONTRIBUTED / THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

The Kitimat Atoms Sjitras Red team after their big win. make a dent in the Hazelton team, winning 17-0. Anthony Ingvallson took Heart and Hustle for the match. Coach Donald Pacheco said the fifth and final game for the tournament, between Kitimat and Prince Rupert, was a bit chippy at the start but Kitimat capitalizing on three power play goals meant a 7-2 win and first place in the tournament. MVP was Chase Pacheco. Overall the kids played a great all weekend and coaches

Donald Pacheco, Rob Mertin and Andre Baldo credit the kids skating ability as the key. “We keep our feet moving and never give up,” said Pacheco via e-mail. “Scoring 54 goals and only allowing nine is quite the feat.” Kitimat wasn’t through with winning and attended a six-team tournament in Hazelton on the January 31 and February 1 weekend. Kitimat would end up winning all four of their matches

and winning first place in the tournament. Kitimat began with a victory over Terrace Green 4-2. It was a 16-0 loss for Hazelton against Kitimat in game two. Kitimat was equally strong against Fraser Lake and won 13-0. That lead to game four against the Smithers Drillers. Kitimat scored 20 seconds into the game on an Ayden Baldo wrist shot from the point and then 45 seconds later Evan Shelley scored. Kitimat never lost their lead and finished 9-1. Coaches Pacheco and Baldo had stressed to the kids that they needed a quick start in the finals and the kids came out “with fire” said Pacheco. They only had 9 skaters on the weekend but the coaches say it was the skating that controlled every game. “We set the pace every gam,” said Pacheco. “Our belief is skating is the number one skill needed to play hockey and we continue to teach all the technical skills needed at every practice. This is a special group of kids we coach and its nice to see them get great results in back-to-back weekends.”

PRINCE RUPERT - It had been a year and a half since Shawn Stewart took on another amateur fighter – ‘ammys’ they call them – in his first ever formal mixed martial arts (MMA) bout, so he was understandably was shaking like a leaf last week in Merritt before his second. The Rupert resident had made a new year’s resolution to get in the ring more, and only a month into 2015, he got his first chance. UCL – the Unified Combat League – was holding UCL 21 in Merritt, B.C. at the end of January and they said they’d be happy to host the tall, stringy 155-pound fighter. “He started messaging all these promoters and this one got back to us,” said his trainer and area coach Kelly McMahon. “We had three weeks to get ready.” So the amateur fighter, who boasted a short but undefeated 1-0 record, trained in every sense of the word. “At first I wasn’t really into it because I wanted to do a full fight camp and make sure he was good to go and whatnot ... we started with sprint training,” said the trainer. Stewart developed a chest cold midway through the three weeks he had available to him for training and even hyperextended his arm before the fight. But that didn’t deter him from gunning for his second win, determined to be against Bryan Janzen, an ammy neither McMahon nor Stewart knew anything about. But it’s not like Janzen, or the rest of the interior knew anything about Stewart either. “There was a betting site for the fights ... and they had 93 per cent of people picking the other guy to win because we were from Prince Rupert. Nobody knows who we are. They assume that we’re not any good,” said McMahon. That 93 per cent and anyone else underestimating Stewart quickly realized their mistake. In 24 seconds to be exact. That’s how long it took Stewart to take down Janzen in the nine minute-alloted bout via guillotine choke. “[Janzen and I] came out and our plan was to circle him and get him to our corner so we could have our coaches talk in my ear instead of his coaches telling him what to do,” said Stewart. “So we circled and he threw a couple punches and he shot for the takedown and I got an underhook ... he got me in his corner and I could hear his coaches talking to him and he kept on trying to finish the takedown and I just slipped my arm under [his neck for] a guillotine choke.” Stewart’s split-second decision to go for the choke won him the fight in 24 seconds as Janzen sputtered for air while trying to force Stewart to the ground. “As [Janzen] was driving him back, he lifted his head and that was that. And Shawn’s guillotine is a very powerful guillotine because his arms are so long that we actually call it the ‘V-itine’ because for most people the arm just crosses the neck but Shawn’s arms are so long he can push that choke up so that it pinches the veins on both sides [of the neck],” said McMahon. And just like that, Stewart was 2-0, with more fights on his horizon. For an extended version of this story, visit www. thenorthernview.com.
