Danger no more…

Overpass plan will forge aheadBy Staff WriterTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

TERRACE - Regardless of how the new federal Liberal govern-ment is going to follow through on its election promise of spend-ing more on infrastructure proj-ects, a significant northwest B.C. one is moving along.

Construction of an overpass over the CN tracks now cross-ing Hwy16 between Terrace and Prince Rupert was announced late last July, immediately be-fore the start of the federal elec-tion campaign.

The estimated $37 million cost is to be divided between the province at $19.5 million and

the federal government at $17.5 million.

That federal contribution came from the New Canada Building Fund and it continues to this day despite a change in government.

“The project funding remains the same,” said a statement from the provincial transportation ministry.

The overpass project and $4.4 million to help finance the ongoing expansion of North-west Regional Airport, also an-nounced just before the federal election, are contained on the website of the federal Infrastruc-ture Canada department.

In the meantime, engineering

and design work are underway.“The engineering team is

currently performing geotech-nical investigation work on site that will be used as part of the design process,” said the pro-vincial transportation ministry statement.

The ministry is handling the construction work and in turn will be reimbursed by the fed-eral government.

“The overall project remains on schedule for a late fall 2016 tender, with construction begin-ning in early 2017 and project completion by the end of 2018,” the provincial statement said.

With an increase in infra-structure spending expected

when the federal Liberal gov-ernment releases its first budget next month, Skeena – Bulkley NDP MP Nathan Cullen is tour-ing the riding asking locals for their priorities.

“I hear a lot about high speed and the internet,” said Cullen. “That’s important for this riding and its rural areas.”

One example is in Rosswood north of Terrace, one of its hopes being to tap into the fiber optic cables contained in the nearby Northwest Transmission Line.

Cullen’s infrastructure ses-sion in Terrace took place Feb. 11, in the arena banquet room. Kitimat and Prince Rupert are also on Cullen’s list.

Shell delays final LNG decision KITIMAT - Royal Dutch Shell is delaying its -nal investment decision (FID) from the anticipat-ed April 2016 timeline until December on the proposed LNG Canada terminal in Kitimat.

In its 2015 fourth-quarter report, Royal Dutch Shell, a 50 per cent stakeholder in the project, stated that a FID will now be made in late 2016, however, LNG Canada said the news is not startling and very much in keeping with their timeline.

“Shell’s quarterly results [Thursday] included in-formation that the LNG Canada project FID decision will occur right at the end of this year. This is not inconsistent with informa-tion LNG Canada has shared with the community,” Kirsten Walker, LNG Canada spokesperson, said in a statement. “We have always stated that our joint venture par-ticipants plan to make a nal in-vestment decision in 2016. We are pleased, given the current oil and LNG prices, and turmoil in global energy markets that the joint ven-ture participants in LNG Canada are still working toward a nal investment decision for the pro-posed facility late this year.”

Business analysts had expect-ed the consortium of Royal Dutch Shell, PetroChina, Mitsubishi Corp., and Korea Gas Corp., in

partnership with the Haisla First Nation to make a decision in April whether or not to proceed with the $40-billion (Cdn) project.

Shell released its 2015 fourth-quarter results that showed a 44 per cent drop in earnings due mainly to slumping oil prices, a major factor in the postponed de-cision. But they also released a statement saying the joint venture will continue to work on the com-petitiveness of the project, and they have already begun to drasti-cally cut expenses.

“Operating costs and capital investment have been reduced by a total of $12.5 billion as com-pared to 2014, and we expect further reductions in 2016,” said Shell CEO Ben van Beurden.

LNG Canada and the Prov-ince of B.C. were quick to point out that the announcement by

Shell is quite promising considering market con-ditions. Premier Christy Clark, who campaigned on having at least one small LNG operation up and running in 2016 and three more by 2020, told reporters in Ottawa the announcement was posi-tive.

“To me the good news in that, when you see energy projects get-ting cancelled all over the world, and you see producers cutting their capital investment in Al-berta, in countries across the globe, (LNG Canada)

announced that they’re re-com-mitting to the project in British Columbia,” the Vancouver Sun reported. “The date’s changed but their commitment to it hasn’t, and you see that they’ve put it in writ-ing.”

Katharine Birtwistle of LNG Canada also issued a statement saying “we are still very much on track” to make a decision in late 2016.

Susannah Pierce, director of external relations for LNG Can-ada, said current site preparation will continue.

“This doesn’t impact our early work projects,” she said. “It’s still very, very critical to prove to our joint venture partners ... we have a very viable site. “We still have a very full year of work ahead of us.”

School district considers bus cancelation or fees for ridersBy Kevin CampbellTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - The Prince Rupert School District (SD52) is fac-ing budget challenges to a degree it hasn’t had to in years.

A $1 million-plus shortfall is expected for the school district’s bud-get of 2016-17. In ad-dition, the district has relied on a budgetary surplus to get through the past few years – a surplus that was pen-cilled in to be used up ($1,240,000) in 2015-16.

“We’ve used up our surplus this budget year, so we won’t have a buf-fer going into the next year, which is where our problem will lie. So we’ll be looking at every area to see where we can trim and make things a little easier,” said board chair Tina Last.

In his address to stakeholders in late Jan-uary, district secretary treasurer Cam McIntyre detailed the components of the upcoming bud-get, explaining that the $1 million shortfall rep-resents approximately four per cent of the over-all budget – a cutting that the board hasn’t had to address in quite some time.

“What’s happened in the last number of years [is] we have deferred making cuts, while we were going to use the surplus in the previous two school years, but there were strikes for signi cant parts for both years and the end result of the strikes was we ef-fectively didn’t spend as much money as we thought we would,” said McIntyre.

Additionally, the district is losing fund-ing protection, which was close to $2 million this year, or eight per cent, money that many districts don’t have, ex-plained McIntyre. The surplus built up because of this funding protec-tion and the district hadn’t spent all of it over time. The total op-erating grant for the dis-trict will decline by 1.5

per cent or $369,000 “as a result of the funding protection formula”.

The secretary trea-surer stressed that more students and higher en-rolment doesn’t neces-sarily mean more fund-ing, but less funding protection.

“While we’ve been richly blessed with many resources for many years, at the end of it all, the expectation is you would have a lev-el of service compara-ble to other districts, but we currently have much richer services,” said McIntyre.

Among the dif cul-ties the district faces is forecasting the num-ber of students that may arrive next Septem-ber should one or more LNG projects go ahead. The middle school and high school currently have smaller class sizes compared to the provin-cial average, so there is room to add more stu-dents, but the elementa-ry schools will be “more of a challenge”. Reserve staf ng will be in place for September should the district nd itself with more students than expected.

Finding that four per cent to cut is made even more dif cult by the fact that 87 per cent of fund-ing is tied up in person-nel salary, while 13 per cent is designated for everything else, such as supplies, utilities, insur-ance and student trans-portation.

“We expect there will be quite a number of teachers retiring ... so it’s certainly likely that part of that will be ad-dressed simply through attrition [and] you won’t replace all the teachers who retire,” said the sec-retary treasurer.

But where cuts may be felt most is in student transportation, which only makes up 1.7 per cent of the budget. SD52 now runs two buses ev-ery day, with french im-mersion students pay-

ing a user fee (close to $200/year per child or a discount for families), who live in a designated section and have a bus going to Roosevelt El-ementary. All other stu-dents, including special needs students, do not pay.

SD52 is reviewing transportation options that would see the dis-trict either cancel the two buses (which would

alleviate $130,000), charge a fee for all bus riders, or charge a fee for bus riders with a hard-ship provision for fami-lies who need it.

More information will be available at the district’s March 10 pub-lic meeting. Prior to the meeting, residents can provide input via an on-line survey at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/NS322MK.

Premier’s Award given to SD52 programBy Kevin CampbellTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - The Prince Rupert School District (SD52) can add another award to its growing mantel. Shortly after Hartley Bay School won the national Jack Layton Award for Youth Ac-tion in Sustainability in October, the 2015 Premier’s Award for Innovation was pre-sented to district principal Linda Hikida and her team who spearheaded the After School Sports and Arts Initiative pilot proj-ect the past few years, which became an on-going program of the Director of Agencies for School Health throughout the province. “It’s a grant that we receive from the Min-istry of Community, Sport and Cultural De-velopment, and it started out as a sports-on-ly program in 2012,” said Hikida last week. As a pilot district, Hikida helped offer af-ter-school sports programming for vulnera-ble youth, or any student who would rather stay at school to play some hockey, curl-ing, or some of the more expensive sports, rather than go home right at 3 p.m when the buzzer rang. “When the program first started our man-date was to teach eight different sports over six months and teach the skills for basket-ball, field hockey [and more],” she said. After every session, the instructors would ask for feedback from the students and discuss possible points of frustration like missing a goal or losing a game. “It was very successful. We had a pro-gram at every elementary school for one

day a week and one at the middle school,” Hikida added. The next year, the program expanded to include the arts as well as sports, as not ev-ery student was chomping at the bit to grab a hockey stick or kick a ball. Artists such as Jason Watts and Nicole Best Rudderham, as well as a photographer, were hired with the available funds. “What we were trying to do was get kids to not have to go home and watch television or play video games, but to be involved and develop their social skills and develop their fine motor skills,” said the district principal. “I was amazed at how very popular the arts program was ... Two years ago it stopped being a pilot and it was a grant that was going to be coming every year. They basically divided the money down the mid-dle and you can spend $25,000 on the arts program and $25,000 on the sports pro-gram, so it’s very equal ... We have lineups

for kids to get in the program. “We have different people in our support union that run the program and they’re the people that have made the program what it is. At the middle school, we have Sonny Henry and Jane Collins and they’ve been working at it from the outset. At the ele-mentary schools we have Fernando Soares and Teresa Cuzner and then we have Robyn Martin, Carmen Hansen, Sara Hill and Amanda Salm,” she said, adding that First Nations artist Nakkita Trimble also took part, completing paintings of housefronts, totem poles and more with the kids.

“What we were trying to do was get kids to not have to go home and watch television or play video games, but be involved.”

Christine Tassan et les Imposteures tonight at Mount ElizabethKITIMAT - The Kitimat Concert Association is pre-senting Christine Tassan et les Imposteures, at 8 p.m., to-night, Friday, Feb. 12 at the Mount Elizabeth Theatre.

It has been 13 years since this exciting quartet started tending their craft in both gypsy jazz and stan-dard Québecois and swing music, and there is no doubt that they are definitely here to stay.

Pioneers in a domain usually populated with

men, this all-woman quartet continues to reinvent this timeless music while inte-grating new ideas and influ-ences with originality and flair.

Since their inception in 2003, the group has per-formed more than 400 con-certs across Canada and France, with appearances at the Montreal Internation-al Jazz Festival, the Lévis Festival de Jazz, the Festi-val des guitares in Rouyn-Noranda, the April in Paris

Vancouver festival, and on St-Pierre et Miquelon.

They have twice been featured by CBC Radio as part of the Concerts on Demand series. Over the years, the band has shared the stage with illustrious gypsy swing musicians, in-cluding John Jorgenson, Tchavolo Schmit, Angelo Debarre, Rodolphe Raffalli and David Reindhart.

In June 2014, they were invited to the Django Re-inhardt Festival of Samois-

sur-Seine (France), one of the world’s most presti-gious gypsy jazz festivals, where they were honoured as the first women and Québécois gypsy jazz band to perform on this famous stage.

Their first two albums, De bon matin (2007) and Pas manouche, c’est louche (2010), received wide criti-cal acclaim.

De bon matin went to the top of Radio-Canada’s Coup de Coeur hit list and

reached number one on the Radio Couleur Jazz Top 4.

Pas manouche, c’est louche was nominated for Best Jazz Album Creation at the ADISQ awards.

Their third album, re-leased in 2012 and final-ist at the Opus Prize 2014 in the “Jazz album of the year” category, follows in the same lively spirit.

On stage, this dynam-ic quartet is amazing. They improvise with ease, inter-pret their repertoire with

dynamism, blend their voices together in refined harmonies and commu-nicate a strong personal bond that flows from their close friendship. Consum-mate performers and good friends, Christine Tassan et les Imposteures will have you bouncing in your seat and grinning from ear to ear.

Tickets are available at Katii’s Knook in the upper City Centre Mall or from Hazel at 250-632-4008.

Terrace Syrian refugee group’s effort expandsTERRACE - The group looking to sponsor the settlement Syrian refugee families here has expanded its efforts.

From one sponsorship group for one family, there are now two groups, one of private citizens and the other made up of local churches, says orga-nizer Sasa Loggin.

She’s with the Terrace Sponsors Syrian Refugee Families umbrella group.

Within that group are the two private ones called Groups of Five under federal settlement regulations although they can contain more members.

The rst Group of Five has already re-ceived a list of poten-tial families but has yet to have one assigned to it.

And this group is now part of a program in which the federal gov-ernment will cover half of the costs of the family for its rst year here.

This program, called the blended visa program, was recently expanded to assist in the settlement of Syrian families.

Loggin said the rst Group of Five already has donated accommodation lined up and is thinking of a family of four while the second group is just forming so it’s looking at sponsoring a single person or small family.

The two Groups of Five have dis-cussed working together so that the people each would bring in are related.

People older than age 18 are not considered as part of a family so they might get separated from relatives, added Loggin as a reason for the two groups to work together.

The list the rst Group of Five re-ceived only had one or two families of four and the others were seven-mem-ber families or more, which is too big to consider, she added.

The group was supposed to pick four families on the list to possibly sponsor but it hasn’t yet because of that, said Loggin.

“Maybe it will take us a little longer but when families come here, they will have that community support since we’re all working together,” said Loggin, adding the whole pro-cess is very exciting.

The umbrella group staged an evening of music Feb. 6 to raise money.

And late last week, Loggin and others were

heading down to Kitimat for a class in Arabic.

“I think even if we learn a few words to welcome them,” she said, adding she was thinking about get-ting local businesses involved so they could learn a bit about Syria and be prepared for the families.

Last weekend, the group held a fundraiser, Songs for Peace, to add to the donations already raised of about $7,000, which will go toward the costs of supporting a family for a year.

Midget Seawolves game for playoffs, provincialsBy Willim GyeTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - The Prince Rupert Seawolves Midget Reps fell 10-0 to the Terrace Kermodes, but the lopsided loss wasn’t a true indi-cator.

The Kermodes, who are a Tier 2 club, played against the Tier 4 Sea-wolves in a tune-up for provincials which will be held in a few weeks.

Stand-out defenceman Keenan Marogan talked about some of the issues out there for the Seawolves.

“We had a lot of key players down, so it was a little bit harder, but I enjoyed the physical game out there. I could have played better, but if we keep playing hard, we will go somewhere.”

Once Keenan learns how to close the gap a bit quicker and use his size, he will be scary good.

The Kermodes opened the scor-ing three minutes into the game on a bang-bang play in front of the net. Shortly after on a similar play, Ter-race added to their lead making it 2-0.

Prince Rupert dressed their back-up goaltender Brenden Fer-lesen, who was a pleasant surprise, coach Josh Cook said.

“No matter what the scoreboard

says, he (Brenden) had a hell of a game, it was his rst full game in the league, and he had a lot of shots and stopped a lot of chances.”

The Seawolves looked a bit disinterested at points in the game. Prince Rupert’s goaltending kept them in it early, as Terrace held the puck in Rupert’s end most of the rst period.

Terrace generated pressure by shooting the puck from the point or the slot and hitting the net cre-ating rebounds for themselves and secondary chances. Rupert’s time and space was getting closed down quickly, and they were playing too much by themselves, not making the easy pass to break out. Terrace’s third goal was a direct result of that style of play. A shot from the point that missed the net on the left side, came back out the right side and Sam Reinbolt put it into the yawn-ing cage.

The coaches for Prince Rupert took a time-out, which was about all they could do.

Unfortunately. the time out did very little and Terrace scored again soon after to make it 4-0.

The Seawolves came out with more intensity to start the second frame. One would have to think the coaching staff had something to say

between periods.Execution, discipline, and hard

work led to more powerplay goals by the Kermodes. Their fth was a beauty. Fake shot from the point slap pass down low to the right half boards then he centred the puck back door to the cutter Connor On-

stein. With the game out of hand for the Seawolves, there wasn’t much else to write home about.

Cook talked about expectations and the outcome.

“Not the result we wanted, but we had ve or six injured guys and these games are all practice lead-

ing up to zones. We won’t be play-ing these guys in playoffs or pro-vincials. Every loss makes us want to win the next one more. It’s obvi-ously tough, but there’s no doubt in my mind that we will be going to provincials, we have been playing against Tier 2 and 3 teams all year.”

River Kings facing Smithers By Jackie LieuwenTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

TERRACE - Terrace Riv-er Kings are shooting into round two of playoffs against Smithers in Terrace this Sat-urday, Feb. 13, after a solid 7-2 win against Prince Ru-pert last weekend, Feb. 6.

They played a very strong, aggressive, and phys-ical game, said coach Rob Findlay.

Prince Rupert led into the game with the rst goal a few minutes into the rst period.

The period continued with lots of back and forth, and six penalties on either side.

But the River Kings took the game in the second, dom-inating the ice and landing ve goals.

First was scored by Josh Murray, and then the Kings landed two nearly back to back - rst by Liam Albright and the Ben Reinbolt on power play.

Towards the end of the second, Brett Donnie topped it off with two more.

In the third period, Tristan Murray landed the sixth goal for the Kings just over a minute in. Halfway through, Ben Reinbolt scored the seventh and nal goal

for the Kings. The Rampage kept up their play and made a nal goal two minutes later, and the game ended on a 7-2 win for the Kings.

Findlay said the River Kings dominated because they put it all on the line.

“They outworked them, they outshot them. I think what made the difference was the work ethic, and put-ting their bodies on the line. They were really being ag-gressive, being the rst guy to the puck all the time,” Findlay said.

“They wanted to win. They REALLY wanted to win.”

The other key that earned the Kings their win was goal-tending from the Kings’ Pat-rick Leal.

“Patty played really well… He made some key saves to keep the momentum going,” Findlay said.

The win, combined with the rst 5-2 win against Prince Rupert on Jan. 30, nished off the rst best-of-three playoff series.

The River Kings are now launching into the second round of playoffs against Smithers, who beat Kitimat Ice Demons 9-4 and 6-2.

The rst game is in the Terrace Sportsplex at 8 p.m.

this Saturday, Feb. 13. The second game is in Smith-ers at 5:30 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 20, and if there is a third game it will be 1 p.m. Sun-day, Feb. 21, in Smithers.

Findlay says it will be tough series, and the key for the River Kings is playing all-out like they have been doing in playoffs so far.

“Take every shift as your last shift and give it all out there,” Findlay said of what the River Kings need to do this Saturday.

The Smithers strength is scoring, with a couple of players at the top of the league for goals scored.

“They’ve got a more tal-ented team, but I believe if we work as hard as we did in these last two games, we should do just ne,” Findlay said.

“Their goal tending is good, but I don’t think it’s as good as ours. It’s kind of an offset: they’ve got better scorers, our goaltending will be better.”

The winner of this best-of-three game series will face off against the top team of the eastern division, either Wil-liams Lake Stampeders or Quesnel Kangaroos, who are battling it out over the next two weeks.

Midget Seawolves and Kermodes battled in Prince Rupert last weekend to practice.

Smashing pool recordsKITIMAT - The Kitimat Marlins Swim Club are the 2016 Northwest B.C. Regional Champions. Marlins won the meet by more than 200 points over second place Prince Ru-pert, with Terrace third and Smithers fourth.

Claudia Anne KnightFebruary 7, 1949 - January 19, 2016

With deep love and loss, we announce the passing of Claudia Anne Knight at Houston Hospice January 19, 2016 at the age of 66. Claudia was surrounded by fam-ily and supported by the incredible staff at the hospice, who treated her with love, compassion, respect and kind-ness throughout. The staff also ensured family and friends were treated exceptionally well. Claudia and her husband Bob moved to Houston in June 2015 after spending 33 years in Stewart, BC. They fi nally tired of shovelling all that snow.

Claudia was predeceased by her parents, Grace and Cyril, and her daughter Kerry Mae. She will be lovingly remembered by her husband of 26 years, Bob McAllister, her daughter Robin (Dave) and two grandchildren Julia and Sarah. She also leaves behind three brothers: Wayne, Bob (Robbie) and Steve (Vivian) and one sister Ellen (Jim), along with nieces and nephew: Laura, Jessica, Maddy, Paige, Christine and Joe. Claudia is survived by and will be terribly missed by her Aunt Marge (94) as well as extended family in Australia, the US and abroad.

After moving from Tofi no to Stewart in 1982 with her young daughter Robin, Claudia married Robert Crompton and became the proprietor of two stores: Odds ‘N Ends (1982-1991) and Claudia’s Corner (1991-1995). Throughout her time as a proprietor, Claudia helped many people. When they could not afford food, she gave them ‘store credit’ and ended up eating the cost. Her marriage with Robert ended in 1989. She met Bob McAllister, the love of her life, soon after.

Anyone who knew Claudia (Clod by some) knows she was always smiling. An avid gardener, she got up with the birds to be in her garden and, if she was able, stayed there until sunset. She passed her love of gardening to others in the commu-nity, as she happily shared her knowledge and her plants. She had many hobbies, including toll painting, reading, genealogy and fi nding new recipes. She spent hours pouring over recipe books, always passing her favourites on to friends and family. Claudia also loved “getting away from it all’ at the cabin at Meziadin Lake, where she enjoyed more gardening and fi shing.

Claudia lived for helping her community, neighbours, friends and family. Over the years, her volunteer work in Stewart included helping with: the Community Emergen-cy Fund, the Christmas Hamper Program, Stewart Healthy Communities, and North-west Community College. She was secretary for the Lions and Snowmobile Clubs, and Chair of the Stewart Library Association, Stewart Community Pride Committee, Downtown Revitalization Program and Stewart Health Centre – just to name a few.

A service honouring Claudia Knight’s rich life will be held in Stewart in July 2016. In lieu of fl owers, donations can be made in her memory to bccancerfoundation.com/ways-donate/gift-memory
