RTA may complete Kemano tunnelMalcolm Baxter
Although the twinning of the Nechako Reservoir-Kemano tunnel has not been offi cially approved by the Rio Tinto Alcan board, RTA vice-president Paul Henning hopes initial work on the project can begin this summer.
At present there is the original tunnel built in the 1950s and a half completed second tunnel - known as T2 - from the ill-fated Kemano Completion Project which was con-structed in the early 1990s.
The plan is to complete T2 and connect it to T1 rather than the original plan which would have seen the former feed a second power generating set-up.
Henning said the project is currently in the permitting stage.
Application was made to Canadian Environmental Assessment which handed it off to federal Fisheries for what’s called a screening process.
He said they were in the fi nal stages of that and he hoped it would be approved “very soon”.
Provincially, the company was seeking approval for reduced fl ows to the Kemano River that would result from the connection work over this and next Summer.
The province will also be looking at the company’s plans to dispose of the “spoil”, the rock excavated in com-
pleting T2.Henning said that ideally RTA wanted to complete the
connection work at the Kemano end before the new smelter fi red up in 2014.
He explained that at the moment the existing plant was only using 50 per cent of the power being produced at Ke-mano - that’s because potlines have been closed down as part of the modernisation project (KMP) - with the rest be-ing sold to BC Hydro.
However, when the connection work begins, RTA will “switch off” the fl ow of power to the provincial utility and still have enough power to run what remains of the old smelter.
That work is expected to take two to three months in each of the next two summers.
When the connection is completed, RTA will re-evalu-ate phase two of T2 which would be to complete the half-built tunnel connecting Kemano to the Nechako Reservoir.
“That can be done at any time because it doesn’t inter-fere with the new plant,” said Henning, adding, “The last thing we want to do is delay start-up of (KMP).”
The advantage of the set-up once completed is that there will be two tunnels feeding water to the existing two penstocks with a series of butterfl y valves that would allow
RTA to switch from one tunnel to the other if necessary..“So it’s got much greater fl exibility in the future,”
Henning said.It would also be possible to use water from both tun-
nels at once which would have the benefi t of a marginal increase in power production via the existing generators.
Henning noted that some people seem a bit confused by the fact the new smelter will use more power than the old one yet RTA always touts the increased effi ciency of the new technology that will be used in the KMP plant.
The answer, he said, is that the new plant will produce signifi cantly more metal.
Henning explained the new smelter is being built to maximise usage of the guaranteed (fi rm) amount of power produced at Kemano each and every day.
That’s about 700-720 megawatts and equates to about 420,000 tonnes of aluminum per annum.
In the past, the amount of fi rm power available was about 660 megawatts with a theoretical maximum metal production of 265,000 tonnes.
Put another way, Henning said, that translated to an extra 50 megawatts of power producing nearly double the current production.

benefi ts of the new technology, he point-ed out that today the plant is using 20 units of power to produce a tonne of metal.
The new smelter will use only 13 units per tonne.
✸ ✸ ✸ ✸ ✸In a normal year
the current water level in the Nechako Res-ervoir would be de-scribed as on the low side.
But this, as Rio Tinto Alcan vice-pres-ident Paul Henning points out, is anything but a normal year.
At one and a half times the average for
the time of year, he said the amount of snowpack in the water-shed is the highest he has seen in his decade here.
And not only has not much of it melted yet, there was even fresh snow in places only two weeks ago.
Henning said therefore there is “a massive amount of wa-ter” yet to come into the reservoir.
Knowing that, RTA has been trying to man-age water levels in the reservoir to ensure that when the freshet does come, there won’t be a need for a “massive release” through the Skins Lake spillway.

Union talks jobs with councilCAW president concerned with less jobs at new smelter
Cameron OrrNewly re-elected
president for the Ca-nadian Auto Workers (CAW) Local 2301 had some choice words for Rio Tinto Alcan at last week’s Kitimat Coun-cil meeting.
The company and union are now em-barking on new con-tract negotiations but Belmont insisted that his presence was not to negotiate in the media, but merely to provide information to the community about the trouble the union is facing as the smelter transitions to its mod-ernized state.
“I am here to en-lighten the community on what Rio Tinto Al-can’s plans in regards to the new smelter are,” said Belmont.
The main thrust of his concerns related to the level of staff that will be needed in the modernized smelter.
The union, he said, had been promised no less than 850 jobs, a number that he said the union and the com-pany was happy with. Belmont said the 850 was based on the mod-el of Rio Tinto’s Alma
smelter in Quebec, but Kitimat’s operations would in reality have far more employees in operations Kitimat has that Alma doesn’t.
It was expected that the real operating levels would be closer to 900 to 1,000 hourly employees, a number the company had re-peated on occasion, he said.
Belmont said the company is now say-ing the 1,000 workers includes staff.
“That is out and out fabrication,” he said, noting that their collective agreement has language which specifi es which jobs will make the transi-tion.
Rio Tinto Alcan community and cor-porate affairs manager Colleen Nyce told the Sentinel that the esti-mate of 1,000 workers always included staff.
“I can tell you what
we have been saying all along and that is that after the mod-ernization our total workforce — staff and hourly — will be about 1,000 employees,” she said in an e-mail to the paper. “This is still the case.”
A list provided to the union from the company of positions that would be contract-ed out in a modernized smelter included posi-tions that were origi-nally supposed to be hourly positions, said Belmont.
“These are jobs that people are sitting in right now, as we speak,” he said.
The union now considers the work-force proposed by Rio Tinto Alcan to be 699, 150 less than the 850 the union says they were promised.
“That’s a battle always, trying to keep jobs from being
contracted out,” said Councillor Mary Mur-phy.
Phil Germuth asked how these new staff levels would af-fect apprenticeship opportunities at the smelter.
Belmont said he wasn’t sure at this point but that past agreements have left room for eight appren-ticeships a year.
This time they’re going to talk about in-creasing the number.
“We haven’t even been able to get com-plete clarifi cation,” he said.

4 Northern Sentinel, Wednesday, March 30, 2012
The B.C. government has rolled out its plan to reform BC Ferries, continuing the structural and cultural shift that started when the Crown cor-poration was quasi-privatized in the early years of B.C. Liberal rule.
Politically, there is a lot at stake here. Premier Christy Clark’s year-long “families fi rst” routine boils down to two projects, reining in rate increases at BC Hydro and BC Fer-ries.
For weeks, Transportation Minister Blair Lekstrom has been signaling there is bad news to come. Sparring with the NDP in question period, he has bluntly and re-peatedly said the days of fully staffed ves-sels sailing with a third (or less) of their capacity are coming to an end.
Tabling legislation to give the ferry commissioner new powers over service levels as well as fares, Lekstrom revealed $80 million worth of sugar to help the tough medicine go down over the next four years. That’s on top of the $150 mil-lion annual subsidy.
Quadra Island politician Jim Abram was fi rst out with the predictable view of the Gulf Islands elite, dismissing this sum as paltry. It’s diffi cult to capture how self-centred and insulting this is, but I’ll try.
Consider that the B.C. transportation ministry spent $460 million last year on highway operations. That’s for the prov-ince’s entire vast, weather-battered road network. This year’s operating subsidy to coastal ferries is approaching $200 mil-
lion, nearly half of that. And increasingly, it goes to subsidize getaways for those who choose isolation for its own sake.
Basic fi nancial information also ex-poses the falsity of NDP ferry critic Garry Coons’ one-note critique. It’s part of the highway system, he constantly says, com-paring empty ferries with empty roads while ignoring the mandatory ferry staff and other costs.
This fi scal-fantasy policy implies an-other huge increase in subsidy, much of it a transfer from working people to the idle rich who can afford Gulf Islands real es-tate. Coons can’t say how much, probably because he has no idea.
A key legislative change will allow BC Ferries to use revenues from its prof-itable main routes to subsidize little-used runs. This would be even more important if those revenues hadn’t been squandered. And no, I’m not talking about the “fast fer-ries.”
The story is detailed in Head On! a 2004 book by former B.C. deputy high-ways minister R.G. Harvey. He describes how the Mike Harcourt government com-
pleted the “gross error” of building a new terminal at Duke Point, near Nanaimo.
This run was to take truck and oth-er traffi c from congested Horseshoe Bay to the mid-Island from Tsawwas-sen. An alternative route from Rich-mond to Gabriola Island, with bridges to Vancouver Island, had been quietly scuttled after the W.A.C. Bennett gov-ernment was defeated by the NDP’s
Dave Barrett in 1972.On a map, it’s clear this would have
been the shortest route. Harvey says it would have cut travel time by half, and likely replaced the congested Horseshoe Bay dock. But Barrett would have had to tell his Nanaimo ferry union support-ers that they were losing half their work hours.
Tsawwassen to Duke Point is 65 km, compared to 54 km from Horseshoe Bay to Departure Bay. A ferry worker’s shift includes two round trips and loading time.
On the Duke Point run this meant at least eight and a half hours, “thus ensur-ing the crew at least one hour at double time daily and often more,” Harvey writes. “Later it became a scheduled overtime route.”
Something to keep in mind as Adrian Dix and his crew of union bosses prepare to take the helm.

Trying to be greenSometime soon, council will be looking
at the ways they can promote recycling in the community.
That was sparked by a motion from Mary Murphy who said, in so many words, mon-ey shouldn’t matter in the pursuit of being green.
What she wanted was for the District to support recycling and by extension the Kiti-mat Understanding the Environment (KUTE) group. She offered suggestions from giving $9,000 for the depot to upgrade their electri-cal, to offering the use of District vehicles to collect paper waste.
The District has other motions relating to recycling, it was said at the meeting, which is why the council wanted to get together to synchronize their position on recycling.
To get an idea of what the District already does, I turned to their budget. In their 2012 fi -nancial plan, $52,819 is committed for KUTE in a grant, a repeat from 2011’s fi gure.
And to give a sense of how much support KUTE needs, they were given a larger grant in 2010 of $58,688, because the economics of recycling cardboard were so poor at the time.
As prices rebounded a bit, a bylaw was passed where commercial cardboard at the dump gets redirected to the KUTE recycling depot in the Service Centre.
It must still be a good effort to keep KUTE going. It’s a tough reality of being in the north that all their recycling products need to be shipped to the Lower Mainland to be processed. A task which comes at no small price.
What the council needs to do is fi nd the right balance. Maybe tossing aside consider-ations on budget isn’t the best idea, but for the most part I’m sure there is a large segment of Kitimat’s population which wouldn’t mind paying just a little extra to keep some waste from making it to the landfi ll.
And, it’s worth remembering, the landfi ll itself has a life span. It will surely cost a lot to the community when it comes to its end of life. Paying a little bit now to keep that going seems like good fi scal sense.
As for that electrical upgrade, if the town wanted to raise their grant to give that $9,000 they’d have to increase KUTE’s grant by about 18 per cent.
Clearly recycling isn’t exactly cheap, but maybe it’s time to make a solid, strategic plan and put it on paper. Just as long as they re-cycle it when they’re done.

Teacher fed up with Bill 22
Dear Sir,Hello everyone. No, I haven’t been
away — just that the garden work does interfere with writing. However it does give one lots of “me time” to think.
I’m sure by now every mailbox in Kitimat received a message and list of questions from “Pants on Fire @ Anony-mous.”
Before I say anything, all who know me know I have never worked for any big company so have no ties. Also, I am re-tired and am to the point where no one would hire me as I have absolutely no skills anyone would want at this time in my life — unless you would want your lawn mowed or your dogs walked.
People who write anything “anony-mous” really get my dander up. How chicken!
If you really believe in what you write, sign your name.
Any business, company, whatever, who are looking for workers that need
certain skills need them now.It is not rocket science that if you
need someone now to put on a program or course to teach someone a skill, and it takes more than a month to learn. That business — who ever they are — will have a have to look for that skill some-where else, or the work will never get done.
If Canadians or foreign workers have the necessary skills for a job I’m sure they would be hired. Give me a good rea-son why they wouldn’t.
As far as local contractors and busi-nesses working on the new moderniza-tion here, I know for a fact that the ones that are there (and have the skills needed) have so much work they hardly have time to eat.
Where have you “anonymous” peo-
ple been? Go for a drive, look at the activ-ity at the site. Those people are working their butts off, even on weekends when the “anonymous” are probably sitting at home thinking about how to disrupt a project.
It really bugs me that whenever something new or good is happening in this community the “concerned groups” crawl out from under their rock, jump up and down and fi nd fault, no matter what the project may be.
“Jobs for All” are probably for those who want to work and have the skills that are needed.
Do I sound PO’d? Yes, and this is af-ter my morning coffee!
As a side line, wonder how much longer council is going to talk about put-ting in four steps by the library while Radley Park fl oats away?
Keep smiling, I’m watching and lis-tening.
Roma Burnett
Dear Sir,That’s it, I’ve had
it! If I have to listen to
one more news report proclaiming that teach-ers are divided on the issue of refusing to do extra curricular activi-ties I’m going to spit!
Of course we’re divided, teachers are always divided. Teach-ers are intelligent, strong minded indi-viduals who make up their own minds. We don’t take orders worth a darn. Just ask our ad-ministrative offi cers.
Getting teachers to agree on anything is like herding cats: we show up to workshops with nothing to write with or on; we talk during meetings; a friend of mine works in a school where the math and science teachers insist on using the 24 hour
clock and campaigned hard for new digital wall clocks for class-rooms. (They didn’t get them – no money.) The humanities teachers re-sisted. To be fair, this was more of a running joke than a serious is-sue but it illustrates my point. Teachers know that there are two sides to every question if not three or four.
However, Kitimat teachers recently took a poll just to make sure and we can now announce that there is one issue that we are all absolutely unani-mous on. We are all completely opposed to Bill 22 – The Educa-tion Improvement Act.
My fi rst objection is that it doesn’t improve education, it makes it worse. The govern-ment is once again en-tering into a round of
education budget cuts and Bill 22 effectively gags teachers from do-ing anything other that write letters to the edi-tor about it. We’re not allowed to bargain for anything that will cost money, but they can impose all the cuts they like.
Years ago I ex-plained to some friends that the special needs students who weren’t being served were the ones with mild learn-ing disabilities. Now the ones being cut are the ones with moderate cognitive disabilities – read 16-year-old body, 10-year-old compre-hension.
Apart from that, Bill 22 is in violation of several international labour laws. It is ridic-ulous that teachers in Mexico, for goodness sake, are concerned
that our rights are be-ing violated.
And lastly (for the moment) part two of Bill 22 has been cop-ied and pasted from Bills 27 and 28 which we spent 10 years and many thousands of dol-lars (you’re welcome) challenging through the courts and which the BC Supreme Court ruled illegal just over one year ago. In other words, it’s illegal pro-vincially too.
You may not be hearing much about education on the news (other than how divid-ed teachers are) but rest assured the teachers of this province are very angry and we have not gone quietly back to work. For every action there is an equal and op-posite reaction; wrong actions will come back to bite you – and teach-
ers have sharp teeth!Elizabeth ThorneCommunications Chair, Kitimat District Teachers Association and teacher

Mom gets safety regsCameron Orr
A Kitimat wom-an’s seven year mission to tighten regulations around motorcycle safety has been a suc-cess.
Denise Lodge has been campaigning for new rules since her son, Corey, was killed in 2005, a day after getting his learner’s licence. She’s been lobbying the govern-ment ever since, and formed a group called C.O.R.E.Y — Coali-tion Of Riders Educat-ing Youth.
On April 30, the government an-nounced new regula-tions and legislation, the fi rst phase to be implemented June 1.
The new regula-tion means that rid-ers will be required to wear helmets that meet Canadian and interna-
tional safety standards. The minimal ‘bean-ie’-style helmets will mean a $138 ticket.
By next riding sea-son, phase two will be implemented, which will introduce regu-lations that limit the horsepower of motor-cycles to new drivers, part of the graduated licensing program.
“[I’m] totally thrilled with that,” Lodge told the Sen-tinel. She also spoke at the government’s April 30 news confer-ence announcing the changes.
The new rules in B.C. are being mod-elled after Australia’s rules, she said.
The changes are welcome as there is a trend among motorcy-clists of not following some rules, she said. For instance she noted
that she has never seen a motorcycle that dis-played its L decal.
“Did you know that half of motorcy-clists don’t have a li-cence to ride a motor-cycle?” she added.
In addition to not allowing ‘beanie’ hel-mets, riders must be able to put their feet on the bike’s pegs. Not being able to do so will mean you can’t ride the vehicle, or face a ticket.
Children riding motorcycles while not reaching the pegs isn’t a problem that Lodge said she’s seen here in
the north but commit-tees working on these rule changes have seen it prominent in other areas.
The C.O.R.E.Y group’s focus will now be to see all of these changes through, and then after that focus on making sure young riders get the training they need.
Proper training and regulation limiting the power of motorcycles to new drivers possi-bly would have kept Lodge’s son alive.
Corey passed his learners test online and went out and after
bought a high powered bike. He had his acci-dent within the next 24 hours.
“He wasn’t able to navigate a turn,” said Lodge.
She spoke to that same subject at the April 30 conference.
“I kept saying, if only he didn’t have such a powerful bike,” she said in Victoria to reporters. “If he only had the training. If only he had experience.”

“Anybody can catch HIV.”
HIV is a real concern within our communities. You can
contract HIV primarily through unprotected sex and by
sharing needles. HIV can live in your body for years without
you knowing and all the while you can be passing it to others.
At least 25 per cent of people who are HIV+ do not know
and these 25 per cent are estimated to be responsible for
75 per cent of new infections. Northern Health, in collaboration
with its community partners, is working with the Province of
BC to prevent the spread of HIV by expanding HIV testing,
treatment, and support services to British Columbians.
Educate yourself, your family
and your friends about HIV.
Visit HIV101.ca today.
Educate: The only way to know you are
not positive is by getting tested.
Request an HIV test today.
Test: Please share your new
knowledge about HIV with
others, and please encourage
everyone to get an HIV test.

Kitimat hosted Concours competitionSubmitted
French Immersion students spoke about everything; socks, bacteria, pop stars and wild animals. The competi-tion was tough as students from across the Northwest com-peted in the annual public speaking competition, Concours d’Art Oratoire.
Kitimat hosted the event on Saturday, April 14th. “We were very pleased with the quality of the speech-
es, the amount of research the students had done and that so many families travelled from as far away as Hazelton,” said Kitimat Parents for French past-president and m.c. for the event, Kathleen Cherry.
The competition is part of an annual public speaking program which consists of competitions at the classroom level, the local level, the regional level, the provincial level
and the national level.“It forms an important unit in the curriculum,” Kilda-
la’s grade 6/7 French Immersion teacher Lise Corriveau-Dahler explains.
“The students learn how to research, organize and de-liver a speech.”
One student is always chosen to be sent to represent the Northwest in the provincial competition which will be held at Simon Fraser University, May 5 and 6.
This year a grade 12 student from Hazelton, Lia Laz-zarotto, was awarded this honour and is excited by the op-portunity. Last year more than 300 students competed from around B.C. for a variety of prizes and the honour to repre-sent their province at the national level in Ottawa.
Award winners in grades 4-7 included Dianna Camp-
bell, Annikah Johnson, Jaeden Sylvestre, Louis Bigras, Rosie Reschke, Aaron Mason, Wakas Vickers, Connor Newberry, Rebecca Whitmell, Lyndsay Silvestre, David Charette, Elijah Whitmell, Robert Charette, Simon Baldo, Katlyn Mitchell, Emily Paranich, Jenny Reschke, Mad-elaine Swift, David Wernli, Louise Wernli and Lia Laz-zarotto.
French Immersion continues to thrive provincially and within the Coast Mountains School District.
In Kitimat, the program is offered at Kildala Elemen-tary School and continues into the secondary school where students are able to graduate grade 12 with a Double Dog-wood Certifi cate.
Anyone wanting more information should contact Kildala Elementary School at 250-632-6194.

Thousands of jobs...Over 3,000 direct construction jobs will be created in British Columbia at the peak of construction. As well, 560 new long-term jobs will be generated in BC.
World-class safety standards...Carefully planned and built to respect the terrain and wildlife, the pipeline will be monitored 24/7. To protect the waters and coastline of BC, marine facilities will adopt additional navigation aids, increase emergency response capabilities, and implement new land-based radar so that Canada’s Northwest Coast is safer for all marine traffic.
A stronger BC economy with new trade partners...There will be more opportunities and towns will prosper. It will open up global markets for our energy exports and increase Canada’s Gross Domestic Product by $270 billion.
Millions of dollars for community projects...Over 30 years, more than $1.2 billion in tax revenue for BC can be used to strengthen public services. Enbridge will also provide $100 million to support communities near the pipeline.
It’s more than a pipeline. It’s a path to our future.

Hold on to your cowboy hats, the Bull-O-Rama is back for a fourth year at Tamitik Arena.
On June 9 it will be a full eve-ning of action, with not only the thrills and spills of the rodeo itself but afterwards people can enjoy a dance with the live music of country singer Rick Stavely.
The day begins at 9 a.m. with a pancake breakfast at the arena. Doors open for the main event at 5:30 p.m., and the rodeo begins at 7 o’clock.
Prizes will be handed out at 9:30 p.m., right before the music starts.
The rodeo itself will be two rounds of professional bull riding, broken up with the chaos of a wild horse race. If judged by last year, this is not something to be missed.
The children will again have their opportunity to take part in the llama chase. A nice cash prize awaits those who are able to strip the coloured tags from the woolly beast.
Those wishing to participate in the chase will have to register at the arena on the night, and please bring a helmet!
This year’s rodeo clown is Tyson Wagner, who heralds from Saskatch-ewan and is the self-stylized funny man of the rodeo arena. He has 10
years experience bull riding.Profi ts from Bull-O-Rama are
given to local worthy causes.The Snowfl ake Community Fair-
grounds Society, the group which puts together this event each year, will use the money raised to main-tain and overhaul the Kitimat Fair-grounds, just outside of town.
It’s also worth noting that the society is now celebrating their 25th anniversary.
Bull-O-Rama will also be a fundraising platform for other groups, from the local animal shel-ter to the ice skating club, to dragon boat teams.
Like last year, a portion of the proceeds will be donated to the Kiti-mat General Hospital Foundation for health care services outside the reach of Northern Health’s current budget.
Tickets for the event are avail-able at Kal Tire (Kitimat and Terrace locations), Cooks Jewelers (Kitimat and Terrace) and locally at Pyra-mid Offi ce Supplies and the Kitimat Chamber of Commerce; you can call them at 250-632-6294 for more in-formation.
Tickets cost $25 for adults, and $15 for kids under 12-years-old.

COMING EVENTS
SubmittedThe Kitimat Marlins Swim Club hosted
the Kitimat Marlins Invitational swim meet over the May 12 weekend. One hundred and twenty swimmers from Prince Rupert, Terrace and Smithers teams were in atten-dance making for some excellent competi-tion and fast racing for the Marlins swim-mers.
Leading the way for the Marlins was Kleanza Cathers (12). Kleanza became the third Marlins swimmer and fi rst female swimmer in the region this season to quali-fy for Age Group Nationals in Calgary late July. She qualifi ed in the 1500 meter free-style breaking her own pool record she set just a month earlier at a time trial. Her time of 19:38 seconds was a full 2 minutes 40 seconds faster than her time at the begin-ning of the season. She will now join Ky-ler Cordeiro, and Arthur Firmino from the Marlins and two swimmers from Smithers as the only regional swimmers to make Na-tionals from the region this year. Cathers also broke the pool record in the 11-12 girls 200 backstroke with a time of 2:37.51.
The old pool record was held by Allison Barriscale of the Mar-lins from 1988 with a time of 2:43. Barriscale was one of the fastest Marlins ever. She still holds 11-12 Provincial Championships records in butterfl y and went on
to be a Canada Games medalist and Senior National Finalist.
Cathers took the gold medal in the 11-12 girls with a perfect 8 for 8 in swim event wins in the age group.
Alivia Salema (11) had a great 1500 meter freestyle with a time of 21:13. The time ranks her as the 10 fastest time for 11 year old girls in Canada this season. Her time would have been much faster as well but unfortunately her swim cap came off 600 meters into the race and she had trou-ble seeing through her long hair. The time is still the highest ranking in the country of any Marlin this season. Salema went per-sonal best times in all 8 of her events and went on to take the bronze medal in overall points for the 11-12 girls age group.
Arthur Firmino (18) lowered his own pool record in the 15 and over boys 50 me-ter breaststroke. The event he qualifi es for Nationals in. Firmino went personal best
times in all eight of his events on his way to a bronze medal for overall points in the 15 and over boys category.
Hannah Pearson (10) swam to all per-sonal best times on her way to the bronze medal in the 10 and under girls category. It was Pearson’s fi rst regional medal.
Other medalist for the Marlins were Paige Collier (14) gold in the 13-14 girls category. Brander Pacheco (13) silver 13-14 boys. Hayden Dobbin (12) bronze in the 11-12 boys category and Amanda Craft (16) bronze in the 15 and over girls category.
The biggest one swim improve-ment for the Marlins came from Nickolas Cordeiro (13) with a whop-ping 37 second improvement in the 200 individual medley. Cordeiro went personal best times in all 8 of his races.
Other swimmers from the Mar-
lins that got 100 per cent personal best times were Mattias dobbin (9), Hayden Fisk (10), Noah Groves (10), Madison Landry (10), Morgan Nichol (11), Brand-er Pacheco (13), Breanna Readman (15), Aveanna Rice (9), Gavin Thomopoulos (5) and Kemper Weightman (7).
The last regional swim meet of the sea-son for the Marlins will be in early June in Terrace.
