Tailings review ends mine blockadeBy Josh MasseyTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

TERRACE - A blockade by a group of Tahltan of a mine being built by Imperial Metals on Tahl-tan traditional territory has been lifted.

Road access to the Red Chris copper and gold mine project is now open following a deal reached between Imperial and the Tahltan Central Council, the overall governing body of the Tahltan.

Imperial will pay for a review of the Red Chris tailings pond design conducted by a company chosen by the Tahltan Central Council.

The blockade, mounted by

a Tahltan group called the Kla-bona Keepers and others, went up Aug. 8 after worries were ex-pressed about the Red Chris tail-ings pond after the pond at the Mount Polley mine in the Cari-boo, also owned by Imperial, failed, pouring liquid into river systems.

The Tahltan Central Council did not endorse the blockade but has been working to find a reso-lution.

The $631 million project, which is employing Tahltan workers and Tahltan companies, is due to open the end of Septem-ber.

Construction is in the final stages as is a power line to the lo-cation. That line will connect the

mine to BC Hydro’s Northwest Transmission Line which went into service in July.

In a release, Imperial said the review is “to confirm that world class standards have been incor-porated in its design, engineer-ing, construction and operation. The review will be conducted by an independent third party engi-neering firm that has been select-ed by the Tahltan Central Coun-cil” and is to be finished Sept. 24.

“Imperial has agreed to ad-dress all material issues, if any, identified by the review in a time-ly manner and to the reasonable satisfaction of the Tahltan Cen-tral Council,” the release contin-ues.

Rhoda Quock, who speaks

for the Klabona Keepers, said the blockade was lifted after the group received a written copy of the agreement between Imperi-al and the central council which provided for an independent re-view.

And she said the Klabona Keepers are planning to conduct their own review of the tailings pond design.

“It’s nothing against the [Tahltan Central Council] or any-thing,” Quock said of the deci-sion to perform a second review. “We’re going to work as a na-tion.”

“Our plan was not to shut down the mine permanently, we just wanted it done in a safer way,” Quock added.

Kitimat teachers remain firmas they man the picket lineBy Cameron OrrTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

KITIMAT - Kitimat’s teachers are more resolved then ever as they face a potentially long haul in the ongoing labour dispute with the province.

Kitimat District Teachers As-sociation President Kim Meyer told the Kitimat Sentinel in Kiti-mat last week that she’s person-ally not optimistic that there will be school in the early part of Sep-tember but is hopeful for a quick resolution.

Kitimat’s teachers had re-turned to their picket lines last

week and were expected to be at full strength this week, the sched-uled start of the new school year.

“The resolve is still strong. There’s some hardship happen-ing right now, we’re taking care of each other at the moment,” said Meyers.

She said the reasons for pick-eting are larger than just local Kit-imat issues.

“This is all about the condi-tions in our classrooms,” she said, saying composition is Kitimat’s largest issue.

“In Kitimat it’s all about com-position, it’s all about the make up of our classes. They deterio-

rate more and more ever year. The resources are not there,” she said. “Our libraries are open maybe one day a week.”

She said if the issue were sim-ply a salary issue then the BC Teachers Federation membership wouldn’t have even taken a strike vote.

She said her fingers are crossed for a speedy resolution but her gut is saying no school in early September at least.

“I don’t see it happening, be-cause the government is waiting for the teachers to move to them and we can’t go down to their lev-el,” she said.

Internet, mail serve as conduitsfor new attempts at scammingNORTHERN CONNECTOR

TERRACE - Two more cases of fraudulent attempts to obtain money from unsuspecting vic-tims have surfaced in the area.

In one, which was reported to the RCMP, a woman, via the internet, was told she had won money.

The woman was then asked to send a sum of her own money in order to collect her winnings, police report.

“She sent money to claim her winnings, and did not receive any winnings because there were none in the first place,” the police report continued.

“The fraudsters are now

threatening the woman if she doesn’t send more money.”

In the second case, overseas fraudsters relied on a letter sent through the mail which, until email and online communica-tions came along, was the tradi-tional method of luring in people to commit a financial fraud crime against someone.

It was sent to a local business by someone calling herself Nurul Abdul Karim from a financial in-stitution called Maybank in Ma-laysia.

Maybank does exist but the writer probably doesn’t for she says her husband, also a May-bank employee, found (US)$38 million in a bank vault ostensibly

belonging to a son of former Lib-yan dictator Muammar Gaddafi.

The person who actually de-posited the money, the letter con-tinues, has the same surname as the Terrace person to whom the letter was sent.

The writer then proposes to share the money once the Ter-race recipient fills out a number of forms.

“Rest assured that this is 101 per cent risk free,” the letter states.

Experts in uncovering at-tempts at fraud caution those who might be tempted to reveal personal financial information that if something sounds just too good to be true, than it usually is.

Port Edward to lose trailer park; residents face evictionBy Shaun ThomasTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PORT EDWARD - Res-idents of the Port Ed-ward trailer court have been given one year to vacate the premises, but those who live there vow to fight the eviction.

The 12-month notic-es, form 31 of the Resi-dential Tenancy Branch, were delivered on Aug. 22 by owners Stonecliff Properties following a prolonged dispute be-tween the company and the Port Edward Manu-factured Home Asso-ciation. According to Stonecliff Properties, the evictions are the only option left as it looks to undertake necessary re-pairs. “The infrastruc-ture has deteriorated to the point that it needs to be replaced,” said a spokesperson.

“They won’t let us do any repairs. We need to get between every trailer and under every trailer and all we have asked is that they move boats and cars and they have refused,” said the spokesperson, alleg-ing their staff have been threatened and their of-fices broken into.

“We can’t do any more than we have done. We’ve even offered to buy the trailers from

them ... there are a num-ber of people in the park we wish we could have done something with, but because of the bully-ing tactics of the tenant’s association people felt compelled to join. I wish we could have done more, but we just can’t.”

But the tenants ques-tion the validity of the evictions. In particular, they point to a section of the notice which states the reason for the evic-tion is that, “the landlord has all necessary permits and approvals required by law and intends in good faith to convert all or a significant part of the manufactured home park to a non-residential use or a residential use other than a manufac-tured home park”.

“There has been no public meeting to rezone the land ... we asked council if they gave Stonecliff the permits and they said no. We asked if they rezoned the property and they said no,” said resident Alice Kruta. “This is huge. We’re going to be push-ing for an investigation into this.”

However, Stonecliff said they don’t need to rezone the property as the plan is simply to shut the park down.

“We’re not chang-

ing the use, we’re just closing the park. You only need the permits if you’re changing the use,” said the company spokesperson, noting the cost to keep the park open is mounting.

“We’re losing be-

tween $10,000 and $15,000 per month to keep it open and we have done everything we can.”

Relations between Stonecliff and the ten-ants has been tumultu-ous since the compa-

ny purchased the land. Since then tenants have claimed the company was evicting residents for non-payment of rent and has been causing undue stress, with Kru-ta providing a doctor’s note stating letters she

has received are “sig-nificantly affecting her depression and anxiety levels”.

However, Stonecliff said it has not served eviction notices to any-one and has only hand-ed out 10-day notices to

pay required rent. And, the company claims, the tenants have shut down all communications.

“We have asked the association for any communication to say what they want. We’ve told them ‘please tell me what meetings have been about or what you’re looking for’. They’re response has been ‘we don’t have to tell you anything’. And they have never asked us for anything ... they have never had any commu-nications with us at all,” said the spokesperson, pointing to two public meetings the company hosted.

However, that is a claim Kruta refutes.

“We said, ‘let’s sit down and talk about your rules’ and they wanted nothing to do with that,” she said.

As for the future of the park after the Aug. 31, 2015 evictions, Stonecliff said it is not sure what will happen with the site.

“Stonecliff Proper-ties is unsure of the fu-ture. What we are sure of is we can no longer afford to pay to keep the park open.”

“I am really sor-ry about it, there is just nothing more we can do.”

RCMP seek public’s assistance in locating B&E suspectBy Shaun ThomasTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - Prince Rupert RCMP are turn-ing to the public in hopes of identifying the suspect involved in a break and enter in mid-July.

On July 20, mem-bers of the Prince Ru-pert RCMP responded to a complaint of a break and enter at the Hays Cove Petro Canada. The complainant reported witnessing two suspects fleeing the store on foot carrying what was be-lieved to be cartons of cigarettes.

A search of the area turned up empty, but video recorded the night of the incident shows one of the alleged suspects dressed all in black and wearing masks and gloves. While the face may not be identifiable, the suspect caught on video was wearing a unique jacket with mili-tary-type bars on the left sleeve and a distinct pat-tern on the front.

“At this stage police have exhausted all avenues

of investigation and are looking to generate addi-tional leads,” said Const. Matt Ericson of the Prince Rupert RCMP.

“We are turning to the community for assis-tance identifying the suspect wearing this unique jacket. Anyone who recognizes this jacket is asked to call the RCMP or Crimestoppers.”

Anyone with information regarding this ongo-ing investigation is asked to call the RCMP at 250-627-0700 or call Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-8477.

CONTRIBUTED / THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

Prince Rupert RCMP are hoping someone will identify the owner of the distinct jacket worn by the culprit of a break and enter at the Hays Cove Petro Canada back in July.

“At this stage police have exhausted all avenues of investigation.”

Airport manager elaborates on future expansion plans, including a more streamlined security checkpointBy Cameron OrrTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

KITIMAT - The Kitimat-Terrace Regional Airport has a lot in store for the next 20 years, including a larger airplane parking area, more streamlined security and baggage check, and more room for waiting passengers.

All that was part of airport man-ager Carman Hendry’s presentation to Kitimat’s council on August 25.

Hendry was joined by Kitimat’s Ron Burnett, who serves as the air-port society’s president.

To give context to 20 years of planning, in 2013, airport passen-

gers rose 28 per cent in a year to 177,000 people.

“If we were to look back 12 months from the end of July, we’d see 240,000, an increase of approxi-mately 48 per cent.”

The plan aims to stem some is-sues at the airport such as securi-ty screening. Future construction will allow bags to be checked and dropped off before going through the security line up.

“There will no longer be any taking your checked bag and your carry on at the same time through the same line up,” he said.

The holding room for passen-gers is also set to grow. Today the

secured room can hold 81 seated passengers, and 120 total.

Beyond allowing for more air-craft and passengers, the road lead-ing to the airport from the highway even have some plans.

Notably is the idea of building a hotel along that strip, along with additional parking and a service sta-tion.

The current parking lot allows for 340 cars and they have been clearing land to allow for 800 cars by Christmas.

One big obstacle still in the way from their plans is the Canadian Border Services Agency, which so far, according to Hendry, have no interest in putting in a customs ser-vice at the airport.

“Today they’re just not interest-ed in showing up at our airport but we will eventually convince them, with the help of Kitimat,” he said.

The airport serves 10 flights dai-ly to Vancouver and one to Prince George with connection to Calgary, he said.

When asked about the subject of an airport transporter he said a company called Northwest Shuttle Service does currently service the airport to Terrace hotels, and that they are considering expanding to Prince Rupert and to Kitimat.

He said Kitimat’s council may be hearing from that company in the near future.

“There will no longer be any taking your checked bag and your carry on at the same time through the same line up”

B.C. eyeing looser liquor penaltiesBy Jeff NagelTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

VICTORIA - The province is contem-plating changing how it punishes pubs, restaurants and liquor stores that vio-late liquor rules that ban over-serving and selling to minors.

Business owners have asked government for a more flexible penalty sys-tem and a month-long on-line consultation running to Sept. 30 asks stake-holders for input on the options.

One possibility to be explored is lower or high-er penalties.

According to a gov-ernment discussion paper released Friday, B.C. pen-alties are stiffer than most other provinces.

“Decreasing penal-ties would bring Brit-ish Columbia in closer alignment with the average among the provinces,” it says, noting govern-ment must balance business hardship and the need for deterrence for public safety.

A first offence for a B.C. liquor es-tablishment typically means a one- to three-day suspension for overcrowd-ing and 10 days or a $7,500 fine for selling to a minor (the first-offence maximum is $10,000 and 15 days for serving minors.)

Alberta bars have a choice of pay-ing a fine or serving a suspension – which is one of the ideas up for con-sideration – and most operators there choose the fine, which is typically $500 to $1,500 on a public safety first offence.

The stiffest penalties are in Ontar-io, where suspensions of 21 days and longer are are common.

Another issue is perceived unfair-ness of the current system for different business types.

Food-primary outlets can keep on serving food during a suspension, while liquor-primary bars and retail stores must close entirely.

That raises the question of wheth-er fines are a better option, the paper

says.It adds the penalties must spur li-

quor violators to voluntary compli-ance and not be so low they’re merely treated as a cost of doing business.

Fines or suspensions get more onerous with repeat of-fences, potentially lead-ing to licence cancella-tions.

But a second offence is only counted as such if it happens within 12 months of the first one – after a year the slate is clean.

One option is to in-crease that period to two or three years, which would put more pres-sure on repeat offenders whose subsequent pen-alties would be more se-vere.

Another question asks if repeat offences should be fines rather than sus-pensions.

The consultation is in response to recommendations flowing from the li-quor policy review headed by BC Lib-eral MLA John Yap.

“We have been asking for review of the penalty schedule for a while,” said Jeff Guignard, executive director of the Alliance of Beverage Licensees, which reprensents a broad spectrum of bars, stores and other liquor sellers.

He said a $7,000 fine for failing to check an ID could be a month of profit for a mom-and-pop rural liquor store in northern B.C., but negligible to a big Vancouver bar.

Guignard also favours some mechanism to reward an outlet’s good compliance over past years, perhaps akin to how motorists with a long crash-free record build up safe driving discounts with ICBC.

There were 13,415 inspections of liquor licensees last year, resulting in just under 400 contravention notices or nearly three per cent of inspections. But of those, less than half (171) led to enforcement action being taken.

The discussion paper can be found at http://www.pssg.gov.bc.ca/lclb/docs-forms/penalty-schedule-consul-tation.pd

provinces”

What does this mean to Branch 13 of the Royal Canadian Legion in Ter-race? It means regular events that had been suspended for the summer return. Friday steak nights on the � rst Friday of every month resume in September as do regular monthly general meet-ings on the second Tuesday of every month. The Legion in Terrace per-forms a valuable service to the com-munity. Everyone is aware of the more public things we do.

The Legion family barbecue dur-ing Riverboat Days is always well at-tended and all those people recognize the work of the few volunteers that cook those burgers and dole out those pops. The annual Legion parade is also organized by a dedicated Legion member volunteer.

Legion steak night is another event familiar to many people in the commu-nity. This event has become so popu-lar we have considered two seating’s to accommodate everyone. Steak night is shopped for, prepared and served by volunteer members.

Many people have attended me-morial services in our branch. The preparation for these events, including seating, table removal, sound setups, and sometimes food is done by Legion member volunteers.

On Remembrance Day thousands of people turn out to the theatre and at the cenotaph for the services in memo-ry of our fallen. Who coordinates and manages this event?

Who manages the poppy cam-paign leading up to this event? That’s right. It is the same small group of dedicated Legion member volunteers.

Many members of our community are helped in more direct ways by the Legion through funds for emergencies and grants from our poppy fund. This too takes volunteer effort on the part of the branch members and executive committee.

The day to day operations of the Legion are no different than those of any other business. We have a small number of paid staff but the rest of the functions including management, building maintenance; � nancial man-agement, renovations etc are done by member volunteers.

We provide motorized scooters and wheelchairs for members and vet-erans in need. We provide grants to lo-cal agencies from our poppy fund for equipment and/or renovations that will assist seniors and veterans. Last years campaign by the REM Lee Hospital Foundation received a $10,000 dona-tion from our poppy fund.

Again, all done by Legion member volunteers. Sounds like a lot of work? Sound like a lot of volunteers?

The answer to question one is yes, it is a lot of work. The answer to ques-tion two is yes, it takes a lot of volun-teers. Unfortunately we don’t have them.

Joining the Legion is a wonderful thing. It speaks volumes to the char-acter of those who do so, as they adopt the goals of service of the Legion to both veterans and the community.But simply joining is not enough. It will not � ll the chairs of those volun-teers needed to keep these events go-ing. This takes work and that work takes committed volunteers. Come out to our September 9th General meeting at the branch at 7 p.m. and see how you can help your Legion continue its long tradition of service in our community.

Ray Hallock is president of the Roy-al Canadian Legion, Branch 13.

Massive network of trails planned to surround Kaien IslandBy Kevin CampbellTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - The Prince Rupert Back-Country Society is looking to develop “a long-term trail network plan” to connect Prince Rupert with the surround-ing area on Kaien Island for walk-ing, hiking and biking usage.

The ambitious plan, as out-lined by secretary and treasurer of the Back-Country Society Steve Milum, is meant to be aligned with the City of Prince Rupert’s Quality of Life Community Plan. It will include six areas within its proposed construction, as reported in the Kaien Island Trail Plan Pro-posal developed by the board of directors.

“We’re basically moving for-ward with it. We’ve got over half our funding in place and we’re waiting to hear back from a couple other potential partners,” said Mi-lum.

The first item is a trail route de-sign “that serves the community at large that not only meets all prop-erty owner requirements but also makes them want to be a part of the initiative,” the society’s report states.

Subsequent items include pro-posals for rest stops, points of in-terest, interpretive signage, bro-chures/maps, alternative activity junctions and marathon routes of various lengths as well as listing the benefits and potential liabili-ties to the building and usage of the trails.

Other components that are part of the proposal seek out estimated costs for building and maintaining the trails, options for financing and

building the trail network and clar-ification on the rights and respon-sibilities for property owners and users.

“Engagement has pretty high ... we’ve recently submitted several applications and we’ve been get-ting good responses so far [from potential fund providers],” said Milum.

The biggest obstacles to these types of initiatives in the past, states the proposal, is the various stakeholders who have claim to the lands needed for the network and the costs associated with the plan. The Province of B.C., the federal government, corporations, First Nations groups and private owners all hold stake in the lands the group is interested in and the society rec-ognizes the urgency they face with interested industry and investment corporations looking to purchase nearby property in the near future.

“Our objective is not to simply claim valuable land before some-one else does, but to designate some areas for community use so that other development can exist around these areas without con-flict,” the proposal states.

The society is looking to hire a consultant to assist with the nego-tiations and land-plotting needed to map the routes. The consulting firm will be chosen once the fund-ing has been collected, stated Mi-lum.

The trail network has been de-vised into three routes: A main ac-cess route, for walking and cycling and two hiking routes – one with a higher difficulty level than the other.

On the map to the right, the blue route indicates a low-difficul-

ty hiking trail, the yellow is a high-difficulty trail and the red is a main access route.

The plan proposes to access the Butze Rapids hiking trail, the Oliver Lake picnic area, the Grassy Bay shoreline and the Galloway Rapids bridge from downtown Prince Rupert “without using the highway, main roads, sidewalks or shoulders”.

The hiking trails extend through the higher elevation lev-els of Kaien Island to run a loop around Mount Hays.

Milum and the board of direc-tors expect the planning process of the project to cost $35,000 and to include 12 weeks to clear the hur-dles necessary to transition to the public feedback stage. The society hopes to have all their funding in place and to start the work-plan by late September, which Milum said would enable the group to com-plete their rough-outlined 12-week feasibility process by the new year.

The process would include route-finding, setting and flagging, meeting with any and all title-hold-ers and stakeholders to overcome any issues or concerns they may have with building the network of trails, GPS mapping, drafting an archeology study and report and making revisions to the conclusive reports by the 12 weeks’ end.

A final presentation would then be made to the public and me-dia.

A lack of land-based recre-ational activities, including a trail network and beachfront property due to industrial zoning, has been a topic of concern for residents in recent years.


This map outlines the extent of planned trails on Kaien Island.

Bridge temporarily re-openedBy Martina PerryTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - The City of Prince Rupert is temporar-ily opening the 6th Avenue East bridge for an indefinite period of time until the remainder of up-grades can be completed.

The bridge was closed on July 9 for repairs, originally scheduled to be completed in

the first week of September. The only remaining task is to grind off the old asphalt surface and replace it with new asphalt, however the group contract-ed for the work isn’t currently available.

“The 6th Avenue bridge has been temporarily opened until we finalize the repairs which are tentatively scheduled to start in September. We anticipate a short

closure; however every effort will be made to accommodate bridge traffic,” reads a statement from the City of Prince Rupert’s engi-neering and public works depart-ment.

“In the meantime, the bridge is safe for vehicle traffic in its temporary condition. Please drive with reduced speeds and caution in the interim until the repairs are complete.”


After years of volunteering, Kitimat couple retires southBy Cameron OrrTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

KITIMAT - Dorothy and Max Cheyne, of Ocean Falls then Kitimat, will now be of Sydney by the Sea (just off of Victoria), but the family has set a foun-dation in Kitimat that won’t be forgot-ten.

We spoke to Dorothy in greater de-tail than Max himself, who was con-tent to have Dorothy handle their ‘PR’ as they prepared for their final depar-ture last Thursday, August 28.

Dorothy was enjoying a string of celebrations thrown for her from the Kitimat Hospital Auxiliary, and then the Kitimat Seniors group.

Dorothy and Max first moved to Kitimat from Ocean Falls, when Max got work getting the Eurocan Pulp and Paper Mill operational.

“A lot of those people [Ocean Falls] are here now,” she said.

The move to Kitimat wasn’t terri-bly jarring — Ocean Falls at the time was just 3,000 people (still better than the 100 or so it is today) — but she did have to adjust having moved from the

large city of Saskatoon to Ocean Falls.“I found it quite small and we were

isolated. We either had to fly out or go out in the boat,” she said.

Since moving to Kitimat, however, she’s been a staple of many local com-munity groups.

“I got our seniors branch, 129, started when my mother came to live with me,” she said. “We met in the Riverlodge small room. Then we even-tually moved to where we are now.”

It wasn’t just that group though. She’s been a hospital auxiliarian for 58 years, most of that on the Kitimat Hos-pital Auxiliary.

She spent six years as the chair-man for the local chapter of the BC Se-niors Games and hasn’t even missed a game, save for this year’s.

Now 86, Dorothy’s heart for vol-unteering still hasn’t subsided.

“I like helping people,” she said, noting her plans for Vancouver Island being joining their local hospital auxil-iary and joining the seniors group.

She said Max, a retired engineer-ing manager for Eurocan, has been a big part of the push to move south.


Dorothy Cheyne, third from right, with her friends from the Kitimat Seniors crafting group.

“He’s the one who really wants to go,” she said. “Two years ago we did put money down on a retirement home but we never went. Now we’re going.”

Their new home puts them

closer to grandchildren and great-grandchildren but Dorothy does admit local developments are im-pacting her health and have en-couraged the move.

“I have COPD — asthma —

and [Rio Tinto Alcan] say they’re not going to put [CO2] scrubbers in when they start up, and that is needed for people who have asth-ma and whatever breathing prob-lems.”

Woman sentenced to prisonfor defrauding local schoolsBy Margaret SpeirsTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

TERRACE - A woman will pay back thousands of dollars she defrauded the local school dis-trict out of over a period of six months.

Cerrina Monika Drawert, 44, was ordered to pay back $8,949.39 to the Coast Moun-

tains School District 82 after pleading guilty to a charge of fraud over $5,000 in court Aug. 27. The offence took place be-tween September 1, 2012 and February 26, 2013.

She will spend five months in jail and three years on proba-tion with conditions that include not going to any school district building unless she has written

permission from her probation supervisor, not to possess finan-cial documents of any people or entities or conduct financial transactions with people unless they are provided with a copy of the court order.

Drawert was also ordered to provide a DNA sample. A charge of theft over $5,000 was stayed by the court.

SKEENA VALLEY FALL FAIR COMMITTEE / THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

This photo from the Skeena Valley Fall Fair in 1980 shows goats being judged. This year’s fall fair takes place in Thornhill Sept. 6.

Fall fair has a lively,interesting historyBy Kelsey WiebeTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

TERRACE - The Skeena Valley Fall Fair is a testament to the ongoing — if occasionally interrupted — interest in gardening in the Terrace area.

Beginning in approximately 1915, according to historian Floyd Frank, Terrace had a fall fair in which “gar-deners were able to fill the largest hall in town with a wonderful display of fruits and vegetables.”

The story of the fall fair is one of fits and starts: though early settlers proudly displayed the fruits of their homesteads, the fair went by the way-side in the early 1930s. Held in the Great War Veterans’ Association Hall – now Urban Colour – through the 1920s, the fair was an important recog-nition of gardening and baking prow-ess.

Terrace residents, often devoid of formal entertainment, bonded over the competition for the sweetest baking, the largest home-grown vegetables, and the tastiest jellies.

Farmers brought livestock to be weighed, and women – and, apparent-ly, a few men – presented their ‘home handicrafts’ and flowers to be judged. “In my memory,” recalled Freda Hall Mallory, “the affair seemed larger than life.”

In the very early days of the fair, the “hotly contested” prize for the best half-bushel of potatoes was a box of stumping powder, an explosive used to clear land for cultivation. For many, winning a prize or a ribbon at the fair was a validation of the efforts made to improve pre-emptions.

The fading of the fair in the ‘30s was certainly not because of a lack of prize-winning fruits and vegetables. There are numerous stories of Terrace

residents getting through the Great Depression by living out of their gar-dens. More likely, the larger economic concerns of the Depression made the donation of prizes more trying.

It was not until after the chaotic years of the Second World War that the fall fair tradition was again revived.

In the early 1950s, the fair was conceived of as a way to both “encour-age hobbies, and draw the attention of surrounding townships towards Ter-race,” Maxine Brandis remembers.

Through the 1950s, the fair was held in the Civic Centre, a Quonset-style building in what is now George Little Park (then known as Little’s Park).

At this point, recent immigrants, including Brandis, were invited to host small pavilions showcasing their home countries.

The Aiyansh Native Brass Band, listed as “sensational” in the 1953 fall fair program, marched in an accompa-nying parade.

The best candy made by a child (13 and under) won a budgie, a prize sponsored by the local pet store.

The fair seems to have paused again in the 1950s and 1960s, but was resumed in the 1970s.

The fall fair continued, with inter-ruptions of a few years here and a de-cade or two there, into the new millen-nium.

Most recently dormant from 2006 to 2011, it has – in keeping with tradi-tion – been revived by a group of keen volunteers.

The tradition of hosting a fall fair to showcase local produce and thereby reflect community identity is a long-standing, though frequently interrupt-ed, one in Terrace.

Kelsey Wiebe is curator of the Her-itage Park Museum.


This attractive two-storey, two-bedroom coach house fea-tures an attractive veranda with decorative railings and pilasters that wraps around two sides. The living area is all on the second floor, above the three-car garage.

Entry is up a flight of outside stairs to a sheltered doorway on the side of the home. Once in the foyer, a coat closet is locat-ed to the left, together with a cupboard for the stacked washer and dryer, while the interior stairway leading down to the ga-rage is to the right. A skylight brings natural light into the foyer and stairwell.

The living room occupies the front of the house, and enjoys french doors onto the veranda, as well as two skylights. Anoth-er skylight illuminates the dining area, and still another lights the kitchen. In addition, the dining area includes windows on two sides.

The kitchen is separated from the rest of the living area by a five-sided prep island. The cook will appreciate the step-sav-ing L-shaped counter configuration, as well as the natural light coming in from the window over the double sink.

The master suite is located at the back of the homes, and features large windows that look out to the back garden. Natu-ral light will flood into the ensuite, which includes an oval soak-er tub, through a skylight. The walk-in closet will be spacious enough for clothing and accessories.

The den or second bedroom includes closet space and has windows on two sides. Adjacent is a three-piece bathroom.

Downstairs, the three-care garage is large enough to include space for a workshop, as well as a handy two-piece powder room.

Outside, finishes include horizontal siding on the upper storey, with brick below. Decorate pilasters lend the facade the air of a Southern-style plantation dwelling.

This home measure 50 feet, six inches wide and 40 feet deep, for a total of 1,476 square feet. The second-floor living area contains 1,373 square feet.

Plans for design 14-2-274 are available for $595 (set of 5), $680(set of 8) and $748 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 appli-cable) to both the plan price and Priority charges.

Gitxsan set up blockade on route of LNG pipelineBy Shaun ThomasTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

HAZELTON - Members of the Gitx-san Nation have stepped up their pro-test of the Prince Rupert Gas Trans-mission (PRGT) pipeline, establishing a camp to block access to a portion of the pipeline route.

Hereditary chiefs Luutkudzi-iwus (Charlie Wright), Xsim Wits’iin (Les Moore) and Noola have de-clared their territory “permanent-ly closed to all natural gas pipeline development”. However, they note the cease and desist notification ap-plies specifically to the pipeline that would bring liquefied natural gas to the Pacific NorthWest LNG termi-nal on Lelu Island and would cross through their Madii Lii territory for 32 kilometres.

“Our Madii Lii territory is not for sale or use by the province of B.C. or TransCanada, a mere third party de-veloper that has no understanding of what they are proposing to do and has no idea of our culture, no idea of our heritage,” said Wright, noting 16 of those 32 kilometres include the tradi-tional grease trail connecting Gitan-maax with Fort Babine at the top of the Babine Trail.

“The province has been stealing

from our house territory for 150 years, and this needs to end. The proposed PRGT pipeline project is in deep con-flict with core Luutkudziiwus interests and values,” added Moore.

To enforce the order, the heredi-tary chiefs have established a camp at kilometre 15 of the Suskwa Forest Ser-vice Road and plan to be there around the clock.

While noting questions around the blockade should be directed to the province due to it taking place on Crown land, TransCanada’s Davis Sheremata said the company has no plans to confront those at the camp.

“TransCanada is committed to the safety of its employees, contractors, First Nations and those occupying the land by avoiding confrontation with protesters. We will only move forward with our environmental assessment of the area when we are able to ensure the safety of all TransCanada staff and contractors,” he said, adding that the company has so far had a “good work-ing relationship” with the Gitxsan.

“We will continue our efforts to engage the hereditary chief on the blockaded land to discuss access with him to allow our environmental and geotechnical fieldwork on their tradi-tional territory to continue.”

AVANTI MINING / THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

Avanti health and safety manager Twyla Rudd, right, goes over the ins and outs of safety procedures with employees at company’s Kitsault mine location.

Mining company takes the first stepsto build employee, business foundationTERRACE - With Avanti Min-ing in the final stages of lining up financing for its $1 billion planned molybdendum mine at Kitsault on the north coast in anticipation of a construction start next spring, the company has now started building up its data base on potential sup-pliers, subcontractors and em-ployees.

Specifically it’s focussing for now on either Nisga’a-owned companies or compa-nies with Nisga’a participation or joint ventures and Nisga’a residents.

Avanti has held three work-shops this summer – one in Vancouver for businesses and an employee workshop in Ter-race and another one in Git-winksihlkw in the Nass Valley.

Its collaborator in each workshop was Nisga’a Em-ployment, Skills and Training (NEST), the employment de-velopment arm of the Nisga’a Lisims Government.

The workshops may meet commitments made by Avanti when it received its provincial environmental clearance for its Kitsault project, but connect-ing with local entrepreneurs and hiring local is also simply good business, explains Peter Baird, a communications con-

tractor with the company.“What we’re looking for

is the best possible fit for our needs and we want to have a strong local flavour,” he said.

Avanti plans a workforce of up to 500 people over the course of two years of con-struction and a mine operating workforce thereafter of 300 people.

Participants in the Vancou-ver businesses and contrac-tors workshop included 14 representatives from various companies and everyone was walked through how Avanti will set up its tendering and procurement methods.

Those in attendance came from a variety of companies, including the joint venture of Bear Creek Contracting of Terrace and Nisga’a-owned Hobiyee Management.

The consulting firm of Merit Consultants outlined the basic information needed as companies first work their way through the prequalification stage to be a supplier or con-tractor up to how tenders are handled and awarded.

As a publicly-traded com-pany, Avanti has to be fair and transparent in its dealing with companies and individuals, said Baird.

The company won’t be pro-viding any kind of break to Nisga’a businesses or in the hiring of Nisga’a citizens, he added.

“But we have said we will look first at Nisga’a businesses or businesses that have Nisga’a partners or joint ventures,” said Baird.

One decision made by Avanti is to give 15 days ad-vance notice to Nisga’a busi-nesses of its tendering or procurement plans so that sub-mission preparations can be made.

“This will just let them know what’s coming down the pike,” said Baird.

He said the emphasis is not only on development local business talent for construction but for the planned 18-year life of the mine.

Both Baird and Gary Pat-sey, the executive director of NEST, said they were pleased with the turnout of 54 people for the employee workshop in Terrace and the 73 people who attended the one in Gitwinksi-hlkw.

‘We’re getting a lot of in-terest now that various propo-nents have been coming up,” said Patsey of Nisga’a citizens interested in employment.

The sessions NEST held with Avanti were the first of their kind for the employment agency.

As such, it’s giving NEST, which officially opened up late last year, the chance to develop a model of how to work with a company.

“It’s the first project with boots on the ground,” said Patsey of the mining project which is taking place within Nisga’a traditional territory.

He said the role of NEST is to respond to the employee needs of companies and pre-pare individuals to meet those needs.

It starts with what Patsey called a shopping list of man-power needs submitted by a company.

“We’re demand-driven when it comes to skills devel-opment,” he said.

In the case of Avanti, Patsey said the planned 18 year life of the Kitsault molybdenum mine comes close to the working life of a person.

“What we’re hearing from Avanti is that they have a cor-porate culture of having a safe place to work and that there will be room for advance-ment,” Patsey said of employ-ment prospects.

Custom ride shines at Sturgis bike rallyBy Martina PerryTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - Seven years ago Prince Rupert’s Chris Rose was recover-ing from a motorcycle accident that al-most killed him, but today he is celebrating his success at the Rat’s Hole Custom Bike Show held in Sturgis, South Dakota in Au-gust.

Consisting of approximately 100 cus-tom bikes, the 26th Rat’s Hole Custom Bike Show was held on Aug. 7, with Rose being encouraged to enter while he and his ride were in the area on vacation.

All the contenders were reviewed by an international team of judges in 16 catego-ries and even though he initially didn’t feel his custom 2004 Harley Davidson Softail Deuce was worthy, Rose placed second in the over 1,000cc Custom category of this year’s contest.

The win was significant for Rose as his motorcycle is more than just an outstanding custom, but a representation of his battle against death.

“It’s not just a pretty bike with a paint job,” said Rose.

“It has a story and meaning behind it.”Back in 2007, Rose and some friends

took their bikes on a trip to Ketichikan, Alaska, deciding to park for the night and go out for some drinks.

Shortly before the trip Rose had gotten an eye surgery. He wasn’t told it could af-fect his night vision and he wasn’t wearing a helmet because they weren’t required in the community. Rose drove into a pedestri-an sign at 25 km/h as he turned a corner, flying over the handlebars and head first into the curb.

The accident stopped his heart, caved in his skull and ejected one of his eyes from its socket, with paramedics reviving Rose three times before he was airlifted to the University of Washington Harbor-view Medical Centre in Seattle. Because his brain was swelling so badly, doctors in-

duced a coma that Rose would remain in for 11 days.

After being transferred to Vancouver General Hospital, Rose underwent various surgeries including procedures to rebuild his face, with his jaw having to be broken and reset three times.

After completing eight months of re-hab Rose was able to return to Prince Ru-pert, and the following year he returned to Ketichikan.

“I ran into a taxi driver (who witnessed the accident). He told me ‘I was the first one there, me and my buddy were hold-ing onto you. He had your head and I was checking your pulse’,” said Rose.

“He started crying and said, ‘you were dead, you had no pulse’.”

And it seemed like death had it out for

him, with Rose’s father passing away short-ly after the accident, followed by his moth-er and brother within two years.

After recovering, Rose made the deci-sion to build his custom bike, completing the revamped Harley Davidson two and a half years later. Rose’s near-death experi-ence was the inspiration behind the design airbrushed on the bike’s body, with his con-cept being elevated by artist Mike Gariepy. Images include the Grim Reaper, a pocket watch being broken by a cross, a rose bush growing in a graveyard and three crosses to represent his lost family.

“This was showing the Reaper that I’m not ready to go yet.”

2014 wildfire season a costly oneBy Jeff NagelTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

VICTORIA - This summer’s wildfire season will go down as one of the most destructive on record in B.C.

As of Thursday, fires had burned up more than 330,000 hectares across the province and are expect-ed to soon surpass the 337,000 hectares destroyed in the 2010 fire season.

This year is still far short of 1958, when 856,000 hectares burned, but 2014 could move into fifth place if it surpasses 1950’s 343,339 hectares, or even third if it tops the 351,000 lost in 1971.

While much timber has burned, no homes or other significant structures have been lost this year, so by that measure it’s been no-where near as catastrophic as the 2003 fire sea-son when more than 300 homes were lost or dam-aged in the Okanagan Mountain and McClure fires.

But it has been costly.The province has so far spent more than $246

million fighting wildfires, almost four times what was budgeted and more than the $212 million ex-pended in 2010.

Despite wet weather on the Labour Day week-end, fire officials are bracing for more warm dry spells in September.

“It’s unlikely we’ve seen the end of the fire sea-son by any stretch of the imagination,” said fire in-formation officer Dustin Eno.

The actual number of fires this year – just over 1,300 – is well below the average of 1,600 per year.

But many of the fires have been very large.The biggest, and still only 20 per cent contained,

is the 130,000-hectare Chelaslie River fire, which is between Anahim Lake and Burns Lake, near Entia-ko and Tweedsmuir provincial parks. Homes remain

under evacuation order there.The largest evacuations this summer have in-

cluded the China Nose fire near Houston and the McAllister fire, which forced the evacuation of the entire town of Hudson’s Hope in July.

Assisting B.C. crews have been large numbers of imported firefighters and equipment, from other provinces, Alaska and Australia.

“We’ve brought in a lot and have been very grateful to be able to draw on those relationships, both right across Canada and internationally,” Eno

University gears up for its 25thBy Shawn HaywardTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE GEORGE, – Representatives from the University of North-ern British Columbia’s past, present, and future gathered at the Prince George campus today to kick off a 10-month cel-ebration that will culmi-nate with UNBC’s 25th anniversary on June 22, 2015.

“This year repre-sents a significant mile-stone in the history of UNBC. As a northern in-stitution, it is a time for us to boldly envision our future, to challenge our-selves, and to continue our evolution as a leader in post-secondary edu-cation in the North and beyond,” says UNBC President Daniel Weeks. “The faculty and staff at UNBC have positioned us to both continue our world-class research on important issues and educate the next gener-ation of northern lead-ers. This is the mandate that was envisioned for us a quarter century ago, and one to which we are proud to aspire.”

In 1988, 16,000 people donated $5 and joined a public cam-paign calling on govern-ment to create a univer-sity for the North. On June 22, 1990 the BC government passed the UNBC Act, officially creating UNBC. Dur-ing the intervening 25 years, UNBC has grown

to become a leader in research and education as well as an integral part of the Northern BC community.

That history was cel-ebrated today as a Lin-den tree was planted in the University’s Cere-

monial Loop at the main entrance to the campus.

The new tree is just the beginning. Over the course of the anniver-sary year, UNBC will recognize the 16,000 founders who comprised the social movement

that spurred the Univer-sity’s creation.

The Natural Re-sources and Environ-mental Studies Institute will plant 16,000 trees throughout the Northern BC are in the spring of 2015.

Community fireworks display

Community gazebo open in Port EdwardBy Shaun ThomasTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PORT EDWARD - It’s been a long time coming but, thanks to the BG Group, Port Edward now has a community gazebo to call its own.

The company, which is proposing to construct a liquefied natural gas terminal on Ridley Island, provided council with a $20,000 grant for the construction of a ga-zebo in front of the municipal offices and school. After more than a month of work, the gazebo was formally opened with a community barbecue on the evening of Aug. 26.

“This just a great day for Port Ed-ward ... we have been talking about this for at least 15 years. The vision was to have a gazebo, but we just didn’t have the funds to do it,” said Mayor Dave MacDonald.

“When we asked for a donation, we sure didn’t expect what we got ... without the BG Group’s donation of $20,000, this would not be sitting here today.”

BG Group Canada president Madeline Whitaker made the trip to the North Coast to participate in the opening, which includ-ed a barbecue hosted by the Volunteer Fire Department and the Lions Club, and said the donation was just the company’s way of saying thanks.

“We wanted to thank the community for allowing us to put up our environmen-tal monitoring equipment here and for gen-erally working with us and welcoming us over the past few years. We wanted a way of expressing that gratitude to the people of Port Edward, so we were thrilled with the suggestion of this quite magnificent work of art. It is just gorgeous,” she said, adding

how impressed she was with the finished product.

“I saw a couple of drawings and heard people talk about it, but to see it, it is an amazing work of art done by two local car-

penters with local timber. It’s really mag-ical ... we really hope it is something that will be with the community and be some-thing for you to enjoy for many years to come.”

SHAUN THOMAS / THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

Police seek third stolen ATV

RCMP looking for missing man

By Cameron OrrTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

KITIMAT - Between 7 p.m. on August 31 and 8:30 a.m. Sep-tember 1, three ATVs were sto-len from the Minette Bay log sort, Kitimat RCMP say.

Two of the quads were since recovered, abandoned on Liard Street, but the third, a red Can Am Outlander 500 CC, is still missing.

Police said the thief or thieves broke in to a work shop on the property and took the keys for the machines, which were also locked up.

The ATVs are said to be in near-new condition.

If anyone has information about the remaining vehicle, or about who may have been in-volved, they are asked to call the

Kitimat RCMP at 250-632-7111.If you wish to remain anony-

mous, please call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or visit their web site at www.crimestoppers.ca. You do not have to give your name, address or telephone num-ber and you do not need to testify in court. A possible cash reward of up to $2,000 will be paid for any information which leads to an arrest and charges.

KITIMAT - The Kitimat RCMP are still looking for a missing per-son but say that they’re not fear-ing for the individual’s safety.

Noel Yassinksy was reported missing by the Kitimat RCMP on August 27.

They say the 67-year-old man

may have been driving a blue 2009 Ford Focus, with licence plate 226LFF.

That said, Staff Sergeant Phil Harrison said that they haven’t posted any description of the per-son at the moment only because they don’t have a reason to believe there many be any danger to the person.

“So far, we haven’t been able

to talk to [Noel] yet, we don’t know where he is, but we do have some indications that he probably doesn’t want us to � nd him,” he said. “We’re not worried about his health, we don’t have any indica-tions that there’s any foul play in-volved here.”

Anyone who might have in-formation is asked to call the Kiti-mat RCMP at 250-632-7111.

Spill testing is ‘reassuring’By Jeff NagelTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

MOUNT POLLEY - There’s no cause for people to worry about human health risks from the Mount Polley mine tailings spill despite some elevated levels of contaminants in the latest sedi-ment tests, according to an Inte-rior Health of� cial.

“The results are quite reas-suring,” medical health of� cer Dr. Trevor Corneil said after the release of new tests conducted Aug. 12 and 15, adding clean wa-ter without suspended sediment that’s outside the impact zone continues to be safe to drink.

“The water continues to be safe, the � sh continue to be safe, if normal food and water practices are undertaken.”

That includes not drinking

cloudy water or eating the sedi-ment within the spill impact zone itself, where Corneil said “slight-ly elevated” arsenic levels have been found, along with copper, iron, manganese, silver, selenium and vanadium.

Elevated levels of various ele-ments are to be expected at an ac-tive mine, he said.

Corneil noted arsenic is natu-rally occurring and measurable in most water sources.

Background data from sam-ples taken last spring show there were previously elevated levels of the same contaminants – though not to the same extent – in Ques-nel Lake and Hazeltine Creek prior to the disaster, environment ministry regional operations di-rector Jenninfer McGuire told re-porters.

She said the arsenic concen-

tration tested far below a nation-al guideline for human consump-tion.

Tests released the previous week indicated higher levels of selenium in the gonads and livers of � sh meant someone who con-sumed more than a cup a day of those � sh organs would exceed human consumption guidelines, but not if they just ate the � esh.

The Aug. 4 breach of the tail-ings pond dam caused concern among First Nations and other � shery users that Fraser River salmon might be contaminated.

The province is shifting to an audit role as Mount Polley mine owner Imperial Metals embarks on a long-term monitoring plan that McGuire said is required to measure any potential impacts on aquatic life.

To make each momentcount in life

and to give all I can give.Did I tell you “You’re my hero”

when I saw you yesterday?Or did it slip my mind

as I put you away?

In Loving Memory of

Shawn MichaelPhillip Redmond

Love,Dad, Mom, Lynsey and Families.

Forever In Our Hearts

October 21, 1980 to September 6, 1999

I know your time onearth was short,

but its how you lived each day,You made the most of what you had

and always found a way,To touch the hearts around you,

to love while you may.I wish with all my heart right now,

the face I touched today,wasn’t made of paperor neatly placed away.

But I will put you on the shelf againfor all the world to see,I’ll talk to you tomorrowjust like I do each day

And I’ll tell you “You’re my hero”as I gently walk away.

Kitimat trio win medals at North American competitionBy Cameron OrrTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

KTIMAT -Three Haisla youths came away with medals from the North American Indigenous Games (NAIG), held in Regina in July.

Representing bas-ketball was Megan Metz and James Harry Jr., and Josh Grant earned his medal playing soccer.

It was a long road to get to the high level competition, especially for James and Megan, whose team is com-posed of players from all across B.C., making practice an exercise in logistics.

Josh bene� tted from year-long practices due to his team being pri-marily composed of northwestern players.

“For us, at � rst we were told it was only go-ing to be one day prac-tice and that’d be it,” said Megan. “Then it ended up being two weeks, and we went to a bunch of different gyms and prac-tices from nine in the morning...to three.”

Those practices, though, earned her U16 basketball team a silver medal.

The U16 Females faced a tough match against their gold medal

match rivals, Wisconsin.The U14 Male bas-

ketball team with James Harry Jr. had to face down Team Colorado in their � nal which earned them a bronze medal.

That said, James said it was Manito-ba which provided the

real � ght. Their match against Manitoba was tight, resulting in 57-54 for the middle Canada players. Team BC took down Colorado for the bronze 54-42.

Josh’s U16 Male Team BC topped the re-sults with a gold medal

for soccer, following a 2-1 win over Saskatch-ewan. Josh’s team in fact went undefeated the entire tournament, and their gold was their second victory over Sas-katchewan, the two hav-ing met the day prior for a BC win of 3-2.

All three say playing in front of much larger crowds didn’t change their efforts on the � eld or the court, but getting to Regina was a bit of a shock in terms of the sheer number of people who attended the event, between participants

and spectators.“Way more than I

expected,” said Megan. “Walking in to opening ceremonies. When you � rst look ahead you see empty seats, then you turn and see it packed in there. It’s crazy.”

The three do plan

to continue in athletics, and may return to the Games next year, which possibly may be held in Florida.

The event highlights the athletic achieve-ments of indigenous peoples from around the continent.

Rupert footie fumble By Kevin CampbellTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - A lack of available players and the re-gion’s inability to � eld multi-ple teams left the Prince Rupert Football Club (PRFC) without a tournament this past week-end, one they were hoping to host for the � rst time in three years within the city.

“It was going to be teams from Kispiox, Gitanyow, Ter-race and Hazelton but they all started falling out [of the tour-nament] because workers were going back to camps, some of them are � re� ghters and young-er players are going to school. It’s just bad timing,” said team manager James Brown.

The teams are not bound by any contract to attend any tour-naments in the Northwest as there is no formal league, but it’s understood between clubs

that teams would reciprocate in kind and attend each other’s host tournaments if one attends the other’s.

The team wanted to host a gathering during Seafest, but found the dates con� icted with other tournaments that were be-ing held on the same weekend, speci� cally Kispiox’s Father’s Day soccer tournament.

“Out of respect, we were going to delay it, but then after that it was too busy because our own teams had weddings and there was other stuff so we went with Labour Day,” said Brown.

“It was the summer of wed-dings.”

This past season saw PRFC win two tournaments – in Kit-wanga and Gitsegukla – and come in second twice – at Ter-race and Greenville. “We were happy with the way things went. We could have planned our tournaments earlier [col-

lectively] but due to circum-stances we went with this date. Otherwise I’m not disappointed in the season. All the players stood up and took on their roles well,” said the manager.

The team paced themselves this year in order to save their strength for the would-be tour-nament last weekend. Last sea-son, they attended too many out-of-town games and wore themselves out by the end of the summer.

The team � nishes the 2014 season with $10,700 in prize money. “We’re going to try to help out the wildlife shelter [with some of it],” said Brown.

Indoor soccer now takes over Prince Rupert as the Civ-ic Centre and PRFC’s Matt An-derson will host Tuesday and Wednesday evening play times. Look in the Prince Rupert Rec-reation Active Living and Com-munity Resource Guide.

Kings mentor youthBy Margaret SpeirsTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

TERRACE - A couple of young kara-te-kickboxing kids held their own at a boot camp with older karate-kickbox-ing athletes and several River Kings players.

Shawn, 7, and Farren, 9, Devcic worked out with Terrace River Kings Derek Jurista, Cameron Kerr and Jer-emy Vandenbroek at a recent � ve-week-long boot camp put on by Am-ber Pipe and Rajan Sangha of Shogun Dojo where the kids normally train.

All of the young people at Shogun, except for a couple who couldn’t make it, joined in on the boot camp for some extra training before they headed off to the world martial arts games this week.

Shawn, who’s a green belt, and Farren, who has a blue belt, were very dedicated, and they, plus a couple of older boys, were the only ones to come to the entire boot camp, said Sangha. “They didn’t miss a class. They were going up the hills with us, running at Parkside and all the rest of it,” he said about how the two young boys did ev-

erything their older counterparts did.The River Kings players were

there for some extra pre-season train-ing.

The boys would train alongside the hockey players, such as pairing up with a player when the boot camp went to the dojo and did a circuit of 20 stations.

And the hockey players enjoyed working out with the kids, added Sangha, saying it shows how they feel about kids in the community. “They usually work out with friends and the fact that they would grab one kid and say ‘hey let’s go,’ was really cool,” he said about the workouts.

And the boys had a blast too.“They loved it. They look up to the

River Kings quite a bit,” said Sangha. Shawn and Farren didn’t miss a kara-te class and in the last three weeks in-stead of working out from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. twice a week, they were show-ing up at 5 p.m. and training three or four days a week, said Sangha.

“They’ve come a long way in the last three weeks,” he added of their competitive ability.

Doubtful that the Seahawks can repeat Superbowl winAfter they demolished Denver Broncos 43-8 in last year’s Super Bowl, the Seattle Seahawks are overwhelming fa-vourites in most quar-ters to be the � rst repeat winners of the National Football League cham-pionship since New England Patriots in 2003 and ‘04.

Why wouldn’t they be? The Seahawks’ roster is virtually un-changed from last year; quarterback Russell Wilson is one year old-er and, presumably, one year wiser. Wide receiv-er Percy Harvin, argu-ably one of the top � ve offensive players in the league, is healthy again after missing most of last year. And there’s an aura around the Se-ahawks that says ‘dy-nasty.’

But as the 2014 sea-son gets nicely under way, it says here the Se-ahawks will not win the Super Bowl next Feb. 1 in Phoenix. Why not? Recent history, that’s why.

Peter King of Sports Illustrated’s Monday Morning Quarterback told the world recently about this most amazing stat: The last eight Su-per Bowl champions re-corded precisely zero (0) playoff victories the fol-lowing year. That means the Super Bowl champs from one year either failed to make the play-offs the next year or lost in the � rst round.

A run of negativity like that has to end some time, and as this new season gets under way, it’s hard to believe the Seahawks will stumble badly enough to not win at least one playoff game this January. On the oth-er hand, should Wilson suffer a serious injury, should corner Richard Sherman get sidelined, should running back Marshawn Lynch pout about his new contract, the � ll-in pieces might not be good enough. And the Seahawks play in undoubtedly the toughest division in the NFL — division rivals San Francisco and Ari-zona are legitimate play-off contenders, too — so a couple of losses at key times could leave coach Pete Carroll’s team on the outside looking in.

So if not the Se-ahawks, who? Is there redemption in the wind for Peyton Manning af-ter Denver’s embarrass-ing loss to Seattle? Will the Chip Kelly-Nick Foles combo in Phila-delphia lead to Super Bowl success? Does Tom Brady have one

more Super Bowl run left? Do the 49ers bask in the glow of their new stadium in San Jose and ride quarterback Colin Kaepernick’s skills to a long playoff run? Is this Aaron Rodgers’ year to bring Super Bowl glory back to Green Bay?

Nothing is ever ob-vious at the start of an NFL season. Except for two things: Seattle is the heavy favourite to repeat. And past his-tory says they probably won’t.

And speaking of history, will new base-ball commissioner Rob Manfred grant parole to Pete Rose?

Manfred takes over from Bud Selig on Jan. 1 and he could make a ma-jor splash — telling the world he’s his own man — by � nally commuting what appears to be a life-time sentence to Rose, the game’s all-time hits leader (4,256).

If he were to do that, Rose could then appear on the ballot for the Hall of Fame (where he be-longs — the Hall, that is, not just the ballot).

It’s been 25 years since commissioner Bart Giamatti issued the lifetime ban to Rose, who admitted to bet-ting on baseball while he was manager of the Cincinnati Reds. Evi-

dence shows that Rose bet only on his team to win, so tossing around accusations of ‘throw-ing’ games was not part of the debate. But ever since the Black Sox scandal of 1919, when a handful of players on the Chicago White Sox did, in fact, throw the Series to appease underworld

gamblers (and collect some handsome pay-offs), anyone in baseball connected with gam-bling of any kind has been blacklisted.

Rose hasn’t exact-ly been a saint since he was suspended. He has admitted to his indiscre-tion, but has told report-ers he didn’t read the � ne print in his suspen-sion papers and had no idea he was agreeing to a lifetime ban. And he has gone out of his way to annoy Major League Baseball’s establish-ment by showing up at Cooperstown on most Hall of Fame induction weekends to pad his bank account by signing autographs, stealing at-tention from the Hall in-ductees.

However annoying Rose has been to The

Game, the fact remains that no one who has ever graced a major league � eld has more hits than Charlie Hustle, who epitomized the way the game should be played. He is the most proli� c hitter to ever play the game, he hustled, he managed, he played to win and from all reports, never used performance-enhancing drugs. He’s a baseball lifer.

But he gambled on baseball. He knew it was wrong. When he was caught, he knew he’d be punished. He was. But 25 years in baseball’s prison is enough. Mur-derers all over North America are enjoying freedom in society af-ter serving less than 25 years.

Rose committed the crime, Giamatti issued the sentence, and outgo-ing commissioner Bud Selig denied parole for about two decades. With one stroke of a pen in January, Rob Manfred can right a quarter-cen-tury wrong.

• Jack Finarelli, of SportsCurmudgeon.com, recounting some of the late Ralph Kiner’s malapropisms during his New York Mets broad-casts: “If Casey Stengel were alive today, he’d be spinning in his grave”; “The reason the Mets

have played so well at Shea this year is that they have the best home record in baseball.”

• Brad Dickson of the Omaha World-Her-ald: “A 91-year-old soccer fan left about $636,000 in cash and his house to the Norwegian club FL Fart. I might suggest using $635,000 of that to � nd a new name.”

• Greg Cote of the Miami Herald, on news that Tampa Bay Bucs were taking a look at former Dolphin Richie Incognito: “Well, bully for them.”

• Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer, on Twitter: “ Johnny Manziel start-ed losing this job right after the draft when he partied his brains out. Continued losing it right through middle � nger.”

• From Not Sports Centre.com: “Congratu-lations to the 2013-14 Los Angeles Lakers on their much deserved Emmy win for “Most

Outstanding Comedy Series.”

• Greg Cote again: “The arrival of Johnny Manziel and return of (LeBron) James have made it a wonderful time to be a sports fan in Cleveland. It could only be better if being a sports fan in Cleveland did not entail having to, you know, live in Cleve-land.”

• Another one from Cote: “Predictionma-chine.com computers put the Dolphins’ play-off chances at 26.1 per-cent and the shot at win-ning Super Bowl at 0.4 per cent. Shouldn’t there be a law that you can’t rain on a parade be-fore the parade has even started?”

• Dwight Perry of the Seattle Times: “The MGM Grand’s legend-ary ‘Lion’s Share’ slot machine � nally coughed up its massive jackpot after 21 years — to the tune of $2.4 million — at 1-in-20 million odds. ‘So you’re telling me

there’s a chance,’ gushed 50,000 Cubs fans in uni-son.”

• Steve Schrader of the Detroit Free Press, about overweight defen-sive tackle Nick Fairly’s job prospects with the Lions: “You are what you eat. Second help-ings, second string.”
