Is $33,000 too far for a bridge?Cameron Orr

Is Duck Creek Bridge worth $33,000 to the District of Kitimat?

Councillors were wrapping their heads around that question as a deadline of Nov. 1 looms to make a choice, or else likely see the bridge get taken away.

The loss of that bridge would be felt by many in the community, notably the Kitimat Snowmo-bile and Hikers Club, of which their president Chad Fournier was present for a special Oct. 22 council meeting.

Also there to present the situation was Brian Wakita, owner of JHW Construction, and Peter Ponter, a concerned citizen on this issue.

The core of the matter is that the Duck Creek Bridge is coming to the end of its life. The Rio Tinto Alcan owned structure is already marked as a “drive at your own risk” bridge and according to e-mails from RTA’s Regional Economic Devel-opment Manager Kevin Dobbin, the company is leaning towards closing the bridge, but have not yet ruled out any other option.

A company already in town working on Little Wedeene Bridge, and needing a stable bridge over Duck Creek, quoted $30,000 to RTA to bring in a re-decked bridge bought from the Forest Service to put over the existing Duck Creek Bridge as a temporary measure. (It wasn’t clear how tempo-rary it would be.)

Putting in that bridge would give time to all involved parties to discuss what they want to do for a permanent solution to the crossing; to make the bridge crossing permanent is estimated at an additional $30,000.

According to Brian Wakita in e-mails to the District of Kitimat, RTA didn’t respond quick enough to Surespan’s suggestion (the timeline given by Surespan was quite short) so Surespan has rented a bridge and will be removing it once their work is done in mid-November.

Surespan has since indicated that they would still bring in that re-decked bridge and place it where their rented bridge is now at the end of their job. To do so now will cost an additional $3,000, or $33,000.

That all lead to a discussion at a special meet-ing of council, where the District was asked to pay that $33,000, primarily to bene� t the many back-country recreation users in the community.

Brian Wakita explained to the Sentinel in an e-mail that the bridge is between the town and JHW’s rock quarry. His motive in bringing the matter forward was to capture cost-savings while Surespan was in town.

“As a road that has been primarily used by Kitimat residents for the last 18 years...it is my opinion that this bridge should be funded by the principal users,” he said in an e-mail.

Rallying behind coastlineLast Wednesday’s Defend Our Coast

rally brought out nearly 100 people to the City Centre Mall to protest Enbridge’s Northern Gateway Pipeline Proposal.

The event was organized by Lucy Tolhurst-Mcrae and coincided with nu-merous other Defend Our Coast rallies in the province, which were spun-off from a major rally in Victoria on Oct. 22, which drew close to 4,000 people.

“My biggest concern with the whole Northern Gateway project is the tankers,” said Lucy. “This is our place here. I spent most of my teen years down on Douglas Channel with my dad on his boat...and I just can’t imagine coming upon those tankers every single time that you go out on the Channel.”

She believes an environmental catas-

trophe is inevitable if the pipeline were to go through.

As people gathered they heard words from speakers such as Douglas Channel Watch’s Murray Minchin and the Hais-la’s Gerald Amos.

“My real concern...is food security. Security of our grandchildren’s ability to harvest like I’ve done all my life,” Amos told the crowd.

“I want to say that every time we gather like this, my hope gets even deeper that we are going to look after the legacy that we leave our children,” he continued.

Minchin was back in Kitimat for the rally, hot on the heels of days of ques-tioning at Joint Review Panel hearings in Prince George.

“Even if it’s greenlit, it’s going no-

where,” he said.The crowd � lled the upper corridors

of the City Centre Mall after, passing by MLA Robin Austin’s of� ce, chanting in opposition to the pipeline project.

KITIMAT STATS WEATHER WATCH

Continued from page 1Wakita noted that the last time the bridge

was put in it was a partnership between JHW, Pa-ci� c Northern Gas, West Fraser, Rio Tinto Alcan (at the time just Alcan) and a logging contractor.

Leaving the bridge to be closed would be bad for back-country users.

“We will de� nitely be negatively impacted if a speedy solution is not come to,” said Chad Fournier, the president of the Kitimat Snowmo-bile and Hikers Club.

“We’re getting into the winter season now and if there’s nothing in place for the near future, and certainly looking down the road, we run the risk of losing the use of [our] cabin.”

The club opened a new cabin on Clague Mountain earlier this year.

Fournier also noted the impact to emergency services, saying it would be more challenging to access people with no bridge — and people would � nd a way to the other side, bridge or not, he said.

Peter Ponter, a member of the Hikers’ group but speaking as a private citizen at the council meeting, said that the bridge is heavily used by the many people going up the mountain.

He also noted the history of that route as a

possible second exit from Kitimat, in case the main highway failed for whatever reason.

Corinne Scott said this issue, paying for a service not directly under the District’s owner-ship, was reminiscent of last year’s conversation for the District of Kitimat to kick in � nancially to Shames Mountain’s operational costs.

Over two years the District has given ap-proximately $30,000 for that cause.

The quick timeline of this whole debate meant councillors were understandably hesitant to make any decisions.

That was a feeling echoed by Kitimat’s Chief Administrative Of� cer Ron Poole, who said that he’d like to talk to RTA and other industries who may use the bridge and road about possible solu-tions.

“I’m not quite sure we should be swallowing the whole $33,000,” he said.

While the general issue of the bridge access was known by Kitimat staff as early as Oct. 2, the Nov. 1 deadline and $33,000 price-tag came suddenly to the District on Oct. 17, spurring the quick Oct. 22 council meeting.

Council was expected to discuss this matter again at their Oct. 29 regular council meeting, ahead of the Nov. 1 deadline.

Two Tempo-rary Commercial Use Permits (TECUPS) passed through coun-cil recently.

Kay and Gordon Hamer received a new TECUP to continue running their home picture framing busi-ness, the permit which is good for two years.

Momack Hold-ings Ltd. also received a TECUP for a vehicle rental business on Na-labila Blvd., also for a two year term.

The company was � rst given a TECUP in 2008, and it had already been renewed once, requiring this new permit.

Shipping containers by varianceCameron Orr

Kitimat Council has decided that shipping containers can be used as a permanent accessory structure in commercial zones but that it will be done so through development variance permits.

Councillors had been handling the issue of whether shipping containers can be used as acces-sory structures for over a month and were close to passing a bylaw which would allow the contain-ers.

However there was confusion between coun-cil and town planners over the direction given when the draft bylaw came back for a second reading. Wording indicating that shipping con-tainers would be “temporary” was included in the bylaw but according to Councillor Corinne Scott that ran contrary to council’s earlier wishes.

When the matter came to council again at their Oct. 22 special meeting, staff sought a decision from council to either allow shipping containers through regulation (i.e., the bylaw) or through a development variance permit, which are issued on a case-by-case basis.

Development Variance Permits are how ship-ping containers are already permitted within the Downtown Revitalization Area.

Cameron Ginn, Omenica ExpressTwo male grizzly bears were euthanized on

Friday, Oct. 5, for preying on livestock at a ranch on Telegraph Road, south of Vanderhoof.

Using leg snares hidden inside a dead cow carcass, conservation officers captured the prob-lematic bears that together killed and consumed two cows and one pig. “Just huge. It blew us away,” said Vanderhoof conservation officer Cam Hill, referring to the bear’s size.

What a party and what a day.

The 33rd annual Aluminum City Tele-thon is over for the year, but for the scores of viewers, pledgers and of course the vol-unteers, the buzz will certainly take some time to wear off.

As donations are being tallied, it’s clear that Kitimat raised ap-proximately $58,000 for their community, money which will be distributed to various groups and organiza-tions.

As volunteers re-cooperate from such a packed event, already people are looking to-wards next year when there will be some changes.

Most visible to viewers will likely be the absence of long-time host Monique Miller, who’s challeng-ing commute to get to Kitimat for the show (from Victoria) means she can no longer be the face of the show.

Joanne Monaghan and Hawkair are said to have been key to get-ting her up here for this final run-through.

Meanwhile, Wen-dy Kraft, the Telethon Committee Chair, said the show takes at least 50 people to put on and is grateful to all of them, who put in super-long days with abso-lutely no complaints.

“I was in awe this year,” said Kraft, who had the job as Chair for the first time after three years with the commit-tee. “Because of the common good of our community people are willing to put in a 12, 14 hour days.”

Next year the com-mittee will work on mentoring a new gen-eration of hosts, as well as develop new ways to stream the show online.

Sentinel reader Yvonne Studley wants to make sure no one in town falls victim to a scam that attempted to rob her of her personal informa-tion online.

Studley has been receiving several calls on her home number from a person claiming to be from Microsoft. In her case she is told she has a refund waiting for her from some sort of subscrip-tion she has with the company — a non-existent subscription — and is asked to sign in online with her Hotmail address and password.

The whole thing is a ruse designed to steal personal information.

What is the DRA?The District of Kitimat website describes

the Downtown Revitalization Area (DRA) as “created in 1994 to help Kitimat’s downtown become a livelier, more functional, accessible, attractive, and cohesive pedestrian-oriented place.”

Through an extensive set of guidelines, available to view at kitimat.ca, it seeks to unify the look of businesses in the downtown area.

The area of the DRA encompasses the area just below Albatross Street, south to the mall and the the space around the Esso station and the bus depot, and east to just passed Kitimat General Hospital.

minutes of an Advisory Planning Commission meeting where they supported the variance per-mit route, moved to go that route, saying it allows council to go carefully forward, and leaves the matter available to revisit in the future if they so wish.

With little further discussion, council backed that plan unanimously.

Council talks MK BayCorinne Scott, Kitimat

Council’s representative on the Regional District of Kitimat Stikine board, has asked that a council-to-council meeting be arranged between Kitimat and the regional district to discuss MK Bay Marina.

Scott said that with so much recent controversy regarding the marina a face-to-face meeting would be worthwhile for Kiti-mat to formally emphasize the marina’s importance to the com-munity.

The regional district board has been hearing a lot regarding MK Bay Marina over the past

several months. Numerous del-egations to their meetings from concerned citizens and members of the MK Bay Marina User Group have brought up many concerns, from things such as wash-down policy to the ma-rina’s reaction to a WorkSafeBC ruling which has penalized the marina close to $40,000 due to safety concerns for employees.

Reporting back to Kitimat Council from an Oct. 19 RDKS meeting, Scott said that she has requested a service review be done regarding the marina.

Meanwhile, Councillor Phil Germuth took advantage of the

discussion regarding the marina to move that council write a let-ter to the RDKS, requesting that the Marina Function Committee be reinstated.

The Committee had, at one time, be in charge of the opera-tion of the marina, to take the responsibility away from oth-er communities in the RDKS which had no direct benefit from the marina.

Germuth said it only makes sense for the marina to be man-aged by the people who have the most to gain or lose from it.

He had unanimous backing for his motion.

MK Bay Marina has been the focus of much attention at the Regional District of Kitimat Stikine. Kitimat Councillor Corinne Scott has asked that a meeting be arranged between Kitimat’s council and the regional district board to emphasize MK Bay’s importance.

Tonight is Halloween – and I expect to see a fair crowd of youngsters wandering the streets of Kitimat, dressed in a wide range of costumes and get-ups, clutching their bags and pillow-cases and carrying out their traditional Halloween “trick or treat” routine.

Halloween is not a holiday, but it’s an enormously highly an-ticipated “night out” for kids. But in Can-ada, as it has in many countries around the world, Halloween has changed, ex-panded and been turned into a very, very big business.

Even in my youth (the 50s and 60s) Halloween had become an awaited � xture on most kid’s calendars — we did look forward to dressing up and going from door to door, looking for treats – in those days frequently a chocolate bar, cookies, cakes, or more often fruit – apples, pears and oranges.

The phrase “trick or treat” was used, but was less innocent than today, because things often happened when lights went out or doors did not open to respond to our ring or knock. Eggs broken on win-dows and doors was a regular occurrence, as was light bulbs unscrewed.

Not to varnish the truth, some van-dalism was a big part of Halloween in my day in Scotland. It was better known as “guising” and if a door opened, the cus-tom then was you had to earn your treat – by telling a joke, reciting a short poem

or something of that nature. You spent a bit more time of people’s doorsteps and I think it was a bit more personal than it is today.

But what has happened to Halloween in Canada, the United States and else-where over the past 60 years (just in my own experience) has been nothing short of astounding. Let’s not beat around the bush – Halloween is a rabidly recognized commercial opportunity and most of the occasion’s former Christian religious af� liations, even pagan ties, have long been bypassed, if not simply forgotten.

Halloween merchandise is on dis-play in stores in August and September as business zeroes in on the pro� t op-portunity element: costumes, masks, paraphernalia of all kinds, makeup, toys, boxes of candies, chips, plastic pump-kins, decorated goodie bags and a host of other items.

House parties are more common – but a lot of the party games and family activities we indulged in – such as bob-bing for apples – are rarely included in the adult party of the 2012s. It’s a big night in

the bar business and pub, movie theatre and restaurant staffs are dressed to the hilt and their prem-ises decorated like scary caves.

TV programming has evolved into a continuous week-long scare fest of horror movies, with the various incarnations of “Hal-loween” and “Scream” leading the pack.

Retail clerks, bank staffs, teachers, school students of all ages, are planning costumes and dress up themes weeks before Oct. 31.

My own street has a host of plastic � gures hanging from trees, humorous tombstones planted in the gardens, mul-tiple carved pumpkins eerily lit.

Giant spider “webs” and huge hairy spiders surround entry ways, while re-corded spooky music and sounds greet trick or treaters at doors – and the Hal-loween kid groups are often more sur-prised by their ogres and vampire “hosts” handing out the treats as the home-own-ers join in the fun and take the opportuni-ty to shock their young doorstep visitors.

In many larger cities haunted houses and Halloween scare “sites” abound – and it takes big bucks to get in.

It is overkill, maybe, but that’s life in the 21st century and it’s the North American way to exaggerate and expand traditional holidays or annual events like Halloween and turn them into something else. Particularly if there’s a buck in it!

A shot in the darkI can’t believe the � u shot is considered a

contentious issue in this province.I was reading a story that the Health Sci-

ences Association of B.C. has � led a griev-ance on behalf of their workers, arguing against a new provincial policy that health care providers who do not get their � u shot must wear masks.

Those who do get a sticker indicating they’ve received it.

“They have a right to keep that private,” argues union president Reid Johnson.

“To be identi� ed as having taken their � u shot or not taken it, we believe is a human rights issue.”

I can almost, almost, see their side of the argument.

Except these people are health care workers and there are times that I feel patient rights just plain trump human rights. (If you even buy that this is a human rights issue to begin with.)

Here’s how I see it; if I’m a patient being treated by a nurse or doctor or whomever, I feel better knowing they’ve taken care to ei-ther prevent illness for themselves or taken steps to reduce any possible transmission to me.

I’m not sick or broken by choice. I’m already in the health system in a vulnerable state.

Isn’t it disrespectful to me as a patient to be exposed to possible further illness?

I’m actually surprised care workers weren’t already required to have a shot. Health authorities tell people each year to get a � u shot if you’re around the elderly or children.

If I’m not mistaken, that’s a large chunk of the demographic who receives regular health care.

Wouldn’t it be incumbent on care givers to follow their own advice and take further steps to protect patients’ health?

I have to side with the dean of Simon Fraser University’s health science’s faculty John O’Neil who said in a Black Press story that it’s “irresponsible” for those in public health to not take every possible precaution.

Back to the union’s side, they argue that there are many reasons people don’t get a � u shot, due to personal, philosophical or reli-gious reasons, and that needs to be respected.

Exactly. So grab a face mask.Cameron Orr

Idling cars a big waste Respect lacking from pipe companyDear Sir,

As I was driving in town today I noticed that one of the District employees was doing some work on the side of the road, which is � ne except that he was quite some distance from his vehicle which he had left running and the driver’s door wide open.

I don’t know if the same rules apply but it seems to me that if someone comes along and de-cides to jump into the vehicle and take if for a joy ride and then becomes involved in an accident, is it the driver or the District of Kitimat, or both, that

is ultimately responsible? Never mind that the truck is not secure, ie:

left running without even the parking brake on, wasting tax dollars on gas and wear and tear of the vehicle.

I can see if it is a large piece of equipment with a diesel engine that is standing, or a vehicle on the street with work being done for a short period ie: snow clearing of bus stops or � re hydrants, but to leave a vehicle running for extended amounts of time is to me a total waste, and dangerous.

Joseph Doiron

Dear Sir,Can a natural gas pipeline be

converted to carry oil? Apparently so. This and many other distressing facts were shared with our commu-nity on Sunday Oct. 7, 2012 by An-drew Nikiforuk, an award-winning Canadian journalist. The oil spill in the Red Deer River in Alberta was a Spectra natural gas line that was converted to oil.

I live in the Kispiox Valley approximately 30 km north of Hazel-ton, BC. Our community recently noticed a � urry of helicopters � ying up the Kispiox Valley. The helicop-ters had geo-mapping equipment at-tached to their runners.

It was eventually brought to light that the helicopters were hired by Spectra Gas and that they were mapping out a proposed lique� ed natural gas (LNG) pipeline that would run from the Peace River country through our area, crossing several rivers and going all the way

to Prince Rupert. On Tuesday, Oct. 9 along with

many other British Columbians I re-ceived a phone call inviting me to a town-hall meeting that was to com-mence momentarily. It was hosted by Spectra Gas and they were invit-ing people to take part in an infor-mation session about their proposed

project. There was no ad-

vance notice of this event. The few people who did take part in our area never had their

questions addressed. I am told that the audience was heavily loaded with supporters from Alberta.

I was so angered by the lack of notice and respect from this com-pany that I feared I would be unable to comport myself well, so declined the offer to participate.

We fear that this “town hall meeting” is Spectra Gas’ attempt at consultation.

READERS WRITEContinued from page 4

Christmas and stores dedicat-ed to supplying Christmas decora-tions, for example, are now year-round businesses in many cities.

Check out the internet if you don’t believe me.. Google the words Christmas gifts or Hal-loween costumes. I just did – the

word Christmas alone returned 1,310,000,000 (yes, a billion, three hundred thousand-plus) re-sponses while the phrase “Christ-mas gifts, all...” returned over 144 million.

Halloween brought up no less than 739,000,000 potential clicks, while “Halloween costumes”

alone returned 310 million re-sponses.

So, think about that as you drop a couple of small boxes of Smarties into Spiderman’s goodie bag tonight! We are all a part of helping money make the world go round.

By now, you’ve probably heard about last week’s sit-in at the Provincial Legislature in Victoria, calling for a halt to oil tanker traffi c along B.C.’s coastline.

Everyone has a right to speak their mind, and we respect the opinions of those who have reservations about the Northern Gateway Project. In fact, we encourage the people of British Columbia to express their opinions — because that’s the best way to have an open, honest dialogue, and separate Gateway fact from fi ction.

In the spirit of honesty, I’d like to share some of my thoughts on last week’s protest. It seems a great many people believe Gateway will introduce oil tanker traffi c to B.C.’s coastline for the fi rst time. This is simply not true. Oil tankers have docked at Kitimat for a quarter-century, and refi neries have been part of Vancouver’s port communities since the 1930s. In fact the fi rst imports of petroleum to Vancouver date back to 1915. As well, after reviewing Gateway’s marine safety program, an

independent study has declared it as safe with measures that exceed national and international regulatory requirements.

I’m from Prince George. Thankfully, we no longer have a one-industry economy here in B.C.’s North, but I’m sure many of us remember those uncertain days in the job market. Establishing the Gateway terminal at Kitimat, and linking Canada’s energy supply to the Pacifi c Rim, would continue the diversifi cation of our region’s economy. That means job security and prosperity. It means a better future for B.C.’s North.

Sea Cadets set sail in Kitimat once more

Money for ER station

ContributedThe Sea Cadet program is set to start training

again in Kitimat.After two years without the program the

groundwork has been set to re-start Royal Cana-dian Sea Cadet Corp (RCSCC) Kitamaat.

Captain R.J. Buller CD, will be the new Com-manding Officer, working with a staff of three of-ficers and three volunteers to administer the pro-gram. A new branch of the Navy League has also been formed with Seana Lee as Branch President, Stephen Ong, as Vice President and Earle Dawson as Secretary/Treasurer.

“I am excited to take on the role of Com-manding Officer here in Kitimat. Working with the cadet program gives me the chance to meet and work with some truly amazing teenagers,” said Buller.

Buller has been an officer in the Canadian Forces since 2000 and was the Commanding Of-ficer of his past cadet unit for four years in Milton, Ontario.

Buller said he is thankful to the District of Kitimat for their support, the volunteers who are acting on the Navy League Branch and the busi-ness and community partners who have already agreed to support the cadet unit.

“It’s great to live in a community where the residents and the businesses come together to help support programs for the youth,” said Buller.

RCSCC KITAMAAT will be holding an open house at 160 Konigus St. at 7 p.m. on November 6. Interested youth between the ages of 12-to-18

The Northern Health Author-ity (NHA) and the Kitimat General Hospital Foundation (KGHF) have united to fund a $30,000 remodeling of the nurse/doctor’s station in the emergency room area of the Kitimat Hospital.

The project will create a glassed-in work station, which will provide improved patient confidentiality, better patient flow and a more pro-fessional and secure facility for ER staff.

A request for proposals has been sent out and architectural drawings are in the process of being complet-ed.

This new addition to the ER should be under construction in ear-ly 2013.

Currently the nurses are required to use hallway space for their work station which forces them to have their back towards their patients and face away from the entrance.

The NHA has budgeted $250,000 in 2012 towards remodel-ing the ER to include an observation room, so it was an opportune time for the Hospital Foundation to make their first contribution to the Hospi-

tal for the nurses/doctor’s station, in order for the two projects to be com-pleted simultaneously, to provide both staff and patients with an im-proved environment in the ER.

The investment to the Kitimat General Hospital is the first for the Hospital Foundation. KGHF has been raising money since Feb. 2011 including partnerships with the last two Bull-O-Rama’s, and generous donations received from the Kitimat Kinsmen Club and residents of the community.

Corinne Scott, Chair of the Kiti-mat Hospital Foundation, compli-mented the members of the Foun-dation for their dedication and hard work in raising funds.

The majority of the contribu-tions will be used towards an ad-ditional wing for Mountainview Lodge, increasing the number of extended care beds available, but there is an opportunity to make a dif-ference in services and the KGHF is happy to partner with Northern Health in this worthwhile project to improve the provision of medical care in the Emergency Room at the Kitimat General Hospital.

Demons shut-out KingsSubmitted

The Kitimat Ice Demons scored three goals in the second period and added two more power play goals in the third to defeat the Terrace River Kings 5 – 0 in what turned out to be a penalty-� lled contest on Friday, Oct. 19, at Tamitik Arena.

A total of seven Terrace players and two Kitimat players were ejected from the game.

Two on each side were sent to the show-ers for � ghting in the third period as Terrace goaltender Patrick Leal scrapped with Kiti-mat center Nick Mar-kowsky just � ve min-utes into the period. The Demons’ Terry Whelan was instigated into a short � ght by Terrace’s Cameron Kerr at the 10:02 mark of the period after a scrum in the Terrace corner.

Kerr and Whelan each earned an addi-tional minor, Whelan for head contact with Ryan Holtom in the corner and Kerr got two for instigating. Holtom also got a rare minor for a head butt.

By the score sheet, penalties were Terrace 115 minutes, includ-ing the misconducts and Kitimat earned 55

minutes. On the brighter

side, a shut-out for Ty-son Craven was well deserved as he was seeing the puck all night — although one shot from Steve Cul-lis got close in, behind Craven, but rebounded off the upright into his pads.

Terrace’s Rich Clair was ejected with a misconduct late in the � rst, mainly from what we could see for complaining to ref-eree Steve Bell about a missed butt end that sent his helmet � ying.

About eight min-utes later, Calen Find-lay was next to go, for a more righteous offence — a high head hit � ve minutes into the sec-ond.

Kitimat’s main scoring came in the second period as Bran-don Wakita scored two rapid � re goals with low hard shots – the � rst at 7:26 (Derek Wakita) and again at 9:04 (Derek Wakita, Jeff Mildenberger).

Wakita was robbed of a natural hat trick when goaltender Leal dropped on a loose puck in the crease as #15 stabbed at it. Der-ek Wakita made it 3-0 barely four minutes later, tapping the puck across the line after

Leal stopped attempts by Ian Coleman and Jeff Mildenberger, who earned assists.

With the solid lead � rmly in Kitimat’s hands, the River Kings reverted to the Kings of old for the third period with Mark Dhami get-ting a game for a check from behind, followed by Corbin Legros, ejected for a cross check to the head at the same time as Derek Jurista was earning the same punishment for another cross check from behind.

The Demons scored twice on goal-tender Darren Beau-lieau in the ensuing short handed situation — a goal by Ian Cole-man (Jon Aiken, Dan Jerrett) and another under a minute later by Jon Aiken (Dave Ven-man).

Total shots in the game were Ice Demons 14-12-15 for a total of 41 and River Kings 10-11-4 for a total of 25.

The River Kings had opportunities in the game with a � ve minute 5-on-3 and a four minute 4-on-3, and had some pretty good shots at Craven but were unable to beat the youngster in just his third game for the Demons.

The goal tending

KidSport Kitimat can now boast even more support from the community. The program, which connects children with sports programs despite � nancial barriers, received $1,000 each from Enbridge Northern Gateway (represented at left by Lucy Praught, centre) and from MLA Robin Austin (above). That’s Cyndi McIntosh and Shaun O’Neill accepting the money.

of Patrick Leal was very good in the � rst two periods but Kiti-mat had pretty good puck control through-out. Leal should likely have refrained for get-ting into the � ght with Markowsky, who was pushed into him.

The upshot of the whole thing was to see the Demons take a four point lead over Terrace and a six point lead over winless Prince Rupert Rampage in the West Division.
