Public access a big priorityCameron Orr

The large scale projects with eyes on Kitimat has at least one resident concerned that the town may start losing its public access to many of its assets.

Michael Langegger, member of the local Rod and Gun and regional president of the BC Wildlife Federation, wrote and presented to Kitimat Council, speaking to concerns he’s seen where Kitimat’s backcountry seems to be falling away from residents and into the control of large companies.

He started off talking about the loss of ac-cess to the Kitimat estuary, but his letter included other access, including Bish Forest Service Road and the Wedeene Forest Service Road.

“We’re really a coastal community with no ocean access outside of MK Bay Marina,” he said.

Langegger said LNG developments are meaning a lot of restricted road access as well. He was met with a company roadblock while down Wedeene Forest Service Road, he said.

“One of the things I’d like Mayor and Coun-cil to address and learn from the past is not to end up with the situation like we have with Rio Tinto having all this private property and denying ac-cess to the public,” he said. “I think we’re really in a crossroads now where we can entrench our access with citizens in the community.”

Through his letter to council he points to Rio Tinto’s acquisition of Eurocan’s former haul roads, which sti� ed access to the estuary, as well as Apache and Chevron’s closure of Bish Forest Service Road, which he said has had some con-sultation but the closure has lasted nearly a year, which has Langegger worried.

“Is blasting truly occurring in this area cur-rently, or has this been used to restrict public ac-cess under the guise of public safety?” he wrote.

He said forest service road closures is af-fecting trap lines in the area, one of which he uses himself, under an agreement with a Haisla woman. Even Radley Park didn’t escape Langeg-ger’s gaze, noting unsubstantiated rumours that workers in town have effectively taken up residency in the park. Staff didn’t immediately respond to that point. His letter wasn’t lost on councillors though, all of whom agreed public access was a major concern and focus for their work.

“Mayor and council are very concerned about the lack of waterfront we have access to and we’re trying very hard to � nd some way to access that,” said Mayor Joanne Monaghan.

Phil Germuth said that they’re committed to working with proponents and citizens in empha-sizing that public access is still needed.

A poverty law advocate based in Terrace, but whom covers the Kitimat area as well, said she’s seeing a lot of housing � les coming out of Kitimat in the past months.

Stacey Tyers, who works with the Terrace District Community Services Society, said 70 to 80 per cent of her housing-related � les relate to Kitimat, and she’s seeing a growing number of improper evictions.

And she has great con-cern about what’s happening in town and urges people to be critical of eviction notices.

“Most of them are not valid evictions,” she said. “It’s becoming problematic.”

But she also thinks that it’s nothing sinister or vindic-tive that she suspects is push-ing landlords in town to giv-ing illegal notices, but merely some misinformation about

their abilities as landlords.For instance some may

not know you can’t evict peo-ple on anticipation of selling a property, she said. Evictions can only come after a sale and the new owners have request-ed that action.

Her own general advice is, as best as you can, don’t give anyone a reason to evict you.

Also never ignore an eviction notice, whether you think it’s improper or not, and seek out advice.

According to Sandra Steilo, communications for B.C.’s housing ministry, resi-dents are protected under the Residential Tenancy Act as long as they have signed a tenancy agreement.

A landlord must provide written notice of eviction us-ing an approved form to end a tenancy, Steilo continues.

Listing the available no-tices a landlord can use, she said a two-month notice can be given “for landlord’s use of property.”

This applies when the landlord plans to move in, do major repairs, convert the unit or has sold the property and the new owner, or a close family member intends to live in the rental unit.”

Ten day and one month notices are also allowed under certain conditions.

Kitimat has its own Hous-ing Resource Worker, Anne Moyls, who recently began her work under the Kitimat Housing Resource Project.

She’s a local point of con-tact for people with housing

concerns, and helps people � gure out housing options.

“I really strategize solu-tions based on the people who are coming in and sometimes they have solutions in their extended-world that they’re not aware of,” she said. “It’s never bleak. I’m an eternal optimist until all avenues have been exhausted.”

Housing has certainly had its crunch over the year with record low vacancy rates. The Kitimat Housing Committee also recently heard of an evic-tion notice to tenants on the two � oors of the North Star Inn, which gave month-to-month lease holders until Oc-tober 31 to leave. Residents were given the notice through a letter from building owner James Thom, who wrote that he could no longer afford to maintain the two � oors.

briefing note obtained by Greenpeace and released to local and national media shows a high level of inter-est in shipping oil to Asia through the port of Prince Rupert, with the oil arriving by rail.

The note was prepared for Natural Resources Can-ada deputy minister Michael

Keenan by Lisanne Bazinet of the Petroleum Resources Branch in preparation for a March 1, 2013 meeting with CN to discuss the idea.

“According to reports, Nexen is working with the Canadian National Railway Company and the Prince Ru-pert Port Authority to select lands in Prince Rupert that could be used for the export of oil,” wrote Bazinet.

“Prince Rupert’s Ridley Island is already serviced by CN tracks ... the concept would require the construc-tion of an oil trans-loading facility in Prince Rupert, which does not currently ex-ist.”

While CN has stated the meeting in question did not address any particu-lar project, Prince Rupert Port Authority manager of

corporate communications Michael Gurney confirmed discussion around shipping oil from Prince Rupert have taken place with the energy giant.

“Nexen has been, and continues to be, in conversa-tion with the Prince Rupert Port Authority for a possible oil-by-rail solution. But at this point, that is strictly con-versation,” he said.

Interest in oil-by-rail growing, documents show

Just after midnight on September 27, power was knocked out to 526 BC Hydro customers in Kitimat, the company reports. A motor vehicle accident on Columbia Avenue was cited as the cause of the outage which took power out for the majority of the day. Kitimat RCMP say alcohol and speed are considered factors so far in their investigation, and that the power pole was essentially hanging by the wires after the incident. The driver of the vehicle was airlifted to Victoria in critical but stable condition, while a passenger walked away relatively unharmed, after being freed with the jaws of life.

Northern Sentinel, Wednesday, October 2, 2013 3

The Kitimat Search and Rescue Society is again hosting the annual Banff Mountain Film Festival World tour 2013, at Mount Elizabeth Theatre.

The show is set for October 12 at 7 p.m.

The event is a fundraiser for Kiti-mat Search and Res-cue.

During last year’s � lm fest in Kitimat participants got a close look into the need for KSAR to get these funds, when many of the members were called away from the fundraiser for a rescue on Mount Elizabeth.

People can call Kelly at 250-632-4030 if they would like more informa-tion about the event.

Enbridge Northern Gateway Pipelines has hired away the District of New Hazelton ad-ministrator.

Donny van Dyk is now working for En-bridge as its manager of coastal stakeholder relations and will be based in Kitimat.

He’s worked for the District of New Hazel-ton for four years.

van Dyk has been active politically within the BC Liberal party and its youth wing.

He’s also been the president of the BC Liberal Skeena con-stituency association and, in the 2009 pro-vincial election, was unsuccessful in a bid to unseat NDP incum-bent Robin Austin to become the MLA for Skeena.

van Dyk is also a provincial government appointee to the board of Northwest Commu-nity College.

“I will be work-ing exclusively on the Northern Gateway project,” van Dyk said of his new job. “I will meet with communities in the northwest and answer any questions people and organiza-tions have...”

LOCAL BRIEFS

On bylaws and business friendlinessCameron Orr

A public hearing on a pro-posed change to the C2 Zone is set for October 21, which would add ‘Personal Service Shop’ to the list of de� nitions of approved use.

But the approach of coun-cil to the bylaw amendment — which came to their attention after a business owner indicated they want to open a tattoo par-lour in Nechako Centre — had some split over being thorough versus the impression of feet dragging for local businesses.

That debate came after Rob Gof� net moved for only � rst reading of the bylaw rather than the recommended � rst and second.

Gof� net admitted he was acting cautious, but his rea-soning was he wanted some extra time to have questions answered from staff about the change that he had no time to answer earlier, having been away at the Union of BC Mu-nicipalities conference with the majority of council.

Two readings of a bylaw must be passed before coun-cil can hold a public hearing,

which allows public input be-fore a third reading and � nal adoption.

Nechako Centre, which is zoned C2, does not have de� -nitions for Personal Service Shop.

The proposed wording for the addition would be “a busi-ness where the sale of retail goods is only an accessory to the provision of services relat-ed to the care and appearance of the body or the cleaning and repair of personal affects.”

It goes on to list health clubs, gyms, tattoo and pierc-ing studios and barber shops as examples of a personal service shop.

Personal Service Shops do exist in the C1 City Centre Zone, so is not entirely foreign to the town.

Phil Germuth worried that only passing � rst reading, while not necessarily meaning the process slows town, could create a bad impression.

“There’s such a minor dif-ference between what this busi-ness is proposing and I don’t want to be seen as restricting business,” he said.

Councillors can still vote for second reading at a prior council meeting ahead of the October 21 hearing, which will take place at the start of a regu-lar council meeting.

“I would like us to pass second reading tonight and move this along as quickly as possible. By not passing sec-ond reading I’m feeling like we’re putting out there that we may be possibly slowing this down and not expediting this as quickly as possible for such a minor change to the bylaw.”

Mario Feldhoff however did believe the amendment was substantial, but did say the proposal did make sense. That said, he was interested in hear-ing from the Advisory Planning Commission on the matter.

The APC, as part of coun-cil’s motion, has been referred the application for their own comment.

“I think this will work out,” he said, noting decisions won’t come any later based on the motion as presented.

The motion for the � rst reading passed unanimously.

Continued from page 1Thom wouldn’t say publicly what sort of

costs he was facing.On this, Tyers had expressed concern that the

notice might not have met requirements under the Residential Tenancy Act, because she didn’t rec-ognize building maintenance as a cause for evic-tion.

“‘I can’t afford to continue running these � oors’ is not something that is listed as a reason for eviction,” she said, referring to the Residential Tenancy Act.

According to Sandra Steilo, communications for B.C.’s housing ministry, residents in a hotel can be protected under the Residential Tenancy Act if the hotel is their primary residence and they have signed a tenancy agreement.

Thom told the Sentinel though that the six people who were affected by the notice have all found places to live now.

“They were given their notice but it doesn’t matter on that part anyway because they’ve got rooms,” he said, saying that people were either leaving town or had found places to stay in town.

“If you � nd them rooms that’s all that matters, so it doesn’t matter what was posted,” he said, noting that he personally made sure they all had a new place to live.

He said he expects renovations to take place on those � oors now, but he’s not entirely sure what will take place until the deal � nalizes on the sale of the building from the prospective buyers on November 7.

Back to Moyls and Tyers, getting people the resources to handle housing issues is what theydo every week, and people are encouraged to contact them with any housing questions.

Moyls can be reached at 250-639-6065. Ty-ers said she prefers e-mail, and can by reached at [email protected].

I readily admit that I am often at a loss watching the machinations of big businesses like long-belea-guered Waterloo, Ont. company, BlackBerry. I also admit to a mor-bid fascination with following its decline and possibly its fall. And possibly, after that its re-emergence with another millionaire from the existing board at its helm.

BlackBerry, I have to say was a great Canadian technology success story. Most Canadians were cheering it on in its battle against the giants. Presi-dent Barack Obama used a BlackBerry phone.

BlackBerry was a former innova-tive leader in the gigantic world-wide smart phone market. But it fell behind in popularity and sales as competitors like Apple (iPhones) and Samsung surged ahead in the always-volatile market. Frankly, I am always shocked at how quickly millions of internation-al smart phone users seem to move on to the newest equipment.

So, I have to say I’m left very puz-zled as to why shareholders (my de� -nition of shareholders would be ‘inves-tors seeking a pro� t’) would vote in favour of a new executive termination policy that would so hugely pro� t its CEO (by $55.6-million) if the com-pany’s stock value drags to the extent

it becomes a buyout target.Presumably, BlackBerry’s wor-

rying falling stock value, its lack of success in making gains in the smart phone market, its subsequent layoffs of employees and notice of further planned mass layoffs, as well as a quarterly loss of around a billion dol-lars, would lead to the conclusion that its new CEO, the affable Thorsten Heins, is failing to do what he was hired to do, which was turn around the company’s fortunes.

Now, as these company fortunes wax and wane, if anyone was to gauge the chances that BlackBerry would ac-tually be sold to another company — as it said it would consider last month, resulting in an offer that BlackBerry tentatively accepted (see below) — then readers need look no further than Heins’ compensation package.

As is common with CEOs, Heins receives a magni� cent golden para-

chute payout if he sells the com-pany and loses his job as a result. But what is surprising about Heins’ termination payout is how drasti-cally it changed in less than a year.

In 2012, it was reported that Heins would have received up to $21 million in a “double trigger” payout if the company had been acquired and he was terminated as CEO. But in 2013, that payout sud-

denly became worth $56 million. Pub-lished reports said shareholders voted in favour of the change.

To me, that gave Heins a consid-erable incentive to sell the company rather than turn it around on his own.

His regular compensation totals $9 million a year, so nearly � ve years’ salary seems like quite an incentive to get a sale done.

Blackberry’s new Z10 phone was received well critically but poorly by the real criteria for success, over the counter. An inventory “loss” was con-sidered the major reason for the hor-rible quarterly dip in earnings.

The previously-mentioned multi-billion dollar takeover of BlackBerry by one of its own largest sharehold-ers is not a done deal. It has to survive some bumps along the way, say some smart phone business analysts.

Blackberry CEO gets a plum deal

Lesser of two evilsI’m starting to think pipeline opposition has had

it all wrong right from the start.As much as I’ve quietly been unsure what the

eventual fallout would be from such strong opposi-tion to pipeline development in B.C., the answer is beginning to materialize.

This week I’ve been reading about oil by rail, following a report released by Greenpeace that CN Rail may be looking at delivering oil to Prince Ru-pert in the same quantity that the proposed Northern Gateway pipeline would deliver to Kitimat.

In this particular case though it’s not Enbridge but Nexen which is involved in the research into oil by rail to Rupert.

But Greenpeace researcher Keith Stewart said in Canadian Press reports that it appears to look like a Plan B in case Northern Gateway doesn’t go through.

This has me thinking to myself if I’d rather my house had a rail line through the backyard or a buried pipeline.

A pipeline wins that question by a long shot.The stiff opposition to pipelines has now seem-

ingly gotten oil companies looking more at rail than pipeline. Rail is cheaper to develop (since the rails are already there), you don’t need the intensive en-vironmental permitting to ship oil like with pipeline construction, and clearly they can just about match the capacity of other ‘troubling’ pipelines.

Meanwhile, CN Rail has been signi� cantly growing its oil shipments company-wide, based on numbers I received from the company this past March. Not to the west coast yet, though, but they moved 30,000 car loads in 2012, versus just 5,000 in 2011.

They think they can double that in 2013.So while people have been saying ‘no to oil’,

trains have been quietly stepping up their transport this whole time. (Again, not yet through this area.)

Clearly oil will get out of Alberta somehow.So perhaps the question should never have been

“do we want pipelines or not” but rather “how can we do this better, to get better bene� t?”

Because I’d argue that the bene� ts we’d see from a pipeline to Kitimat is greater than we’d see with more trains. Especially if Prince Rupert gets the lions share of that transport.

If the option is going to be pipelines or trains, lets change the narrative on pipelines from ‘no oil’ to ‘responsible transport.’

We absolutely should be holding companies to a high commitment of safety and economic bene� t. They can’t have free reign through the wilderness, that’s for sure. Regulations and, most importantly, enforcement is a must.

So lets ask for that, instead of turning our backs to the whole notion of oil pipelines entirely while train whistles blow in the distance.

Airing concerns(Due to the length of this letter, we have opted to run it in two parts, even though it was submitted to us as a single document. We’ll run the remainder next week.)Dear Sir,

To those of you that are inter-ested, for the last 10 years I have been thinking about certain aspects of our community and listing them with attached comments, questions and concerns.

I would like to relist them so they are available once again for re-view and/or discussion:

A) Cablecar stuff:-Cablecar residents pay same

taxes as other Kitimatians, but have no municipal lawns or flower beds, therefore no costs for yearly plant-ing, lawn maintenance (cutting) and brushing. Also they have a min-imum of street lights (18 each) even though our bear problems are sig-nificant. They have no sidewalks to maintain and clear of snow, and get limited snow removal as compared to town, where streets are immedi-ately windrowed and blown. Ours are graded to the side and some-times left for weeks without being blown. With no sidewalks this is a major safety concern, both for ve-hicle and pedestrian traffic. Cable-car also has no sewage system to maintain, all residents are on septic fields and must pay for pumping.

There are no parks or playgrounds. There is no decent bus service, or vehicle storage and parking areas, only at the bus stop for those that need a ride because they live a kilo-meter or more away or are ill. There is no rainwater drainage systems to maintain, other than weed whack a few ditches each summer.

Cablecar suffers from noise pollution from the rifle range. The neighbourhood is also limited to one entrance that would quickly be overburdened in the case of an emergency evacuation, ie: forest fire.

B) Highway stuff:Review and change highway

speeds to 80 km/hr from snowflake area to Forest Avenue. Turn-off lane for north side of Cablecar ac-cess, as well as the land fill.

Kiosk installation for: weather protection, local paper distribution, garbage receptacle, bulletin board, salt and sand, etc.

Winter road conditions sign illogically placed by Cablecar en-trance. Chain up location north of cemetery hill.

Road access to river for drift boats and associated vehicles and trailers along main highway. Pull off at landfill for access to future ‘Eagle Walk’.

To be continued Oct.9Sincerely, Kelly Smith

Continued from page 1A consortium led

by Canadian invest-ment firm Fairfax Financial is moving ahead with the deal worth US$4.7-billion. Under the deal the con-sortium will acquire all of the outstanding shares of BlackBerry not held by Toronto-based Fairfax. Perhaps the best I can say is, if the sale is completed

BlackBerry will re-main Canadian owned.

After a trading halt when the offer was an-nounced, share value jumped to C$9.25 in Toronto and US$9.03 on the Nasdaq market in the United States. Goodness knows what it is this week.

So maybe that’s the answer to why the shareholders are pre-pared to give a “failing”

CEO such a wonderful golden parachute. Not so good news I would guess for laid-off em-ployees and to those who may potentially be laid off in the future.

Until then, Black-Berry is allowed to ac-tively solicit and evalu-ate rival offers.

Thus, again, the machinations of big business remain beyond me.

Blackberry

Cameron OrrJournalists and researchers for Cana-

dian Real Estate Wealth Magazine have compiled a list of the top 100 ‘neighbour-hoods’ in Canada which are “set to lead the country in growth.”

Kitimat as a whole was placed into the top 100 neighbourhoods to invest.

The list includes communities from coast to coast, and in-cludes Terrace among those top 100.

The full results of their findings was pub-lished on September 30 in their magazine.

The report found a number of small towns made the list as well, including Bed-ford, Halifax and Cold Lake, Alberta.

Researchers used a number of data to compile the list, including popula-tion, median price, price growth over 12 months, vacancy rate, infrastructure and cash flow.

The magazine used 2011 population levels of 8,335, noting it was a -7.3 per cent growth rate. The aver-age house price, they found using data from Brookfield RPS, was $222,070.

The findings from Real Estate Wealth was supported by Re/Max and Verico Finan-cial Services.

Manuel Leite, the managing broker for Kitimat’s Re/Max of-fice, speaks cautiously about Kitimat’s invest-ment potential, careful not to outright say it’s a sure-fire investment market, but he says there’s definitely been movement from inves-tors in town.

“I’m not too sur-prised [at the report] because we know a lot of activity has been going on in town,” he said.

But that said, “I’m very cautious when I

talk to people about the future because I don’t have a crystal ball.”

That being the case, he has seen more investment sales than any of his many oth-er years of selling real estate in the com-munity.

That includes residential properties — small bungalows have been selling fast —

and commercial properties.He points to the City Centre Motel,

the North Star Inn, and the Aluminum City Motel, among other properties, as having been recently sold or listed.

“For awhile there we had a lot of de-mand for large buildings, warehouse-type buildings,” he said, saying those sorts of

properties were typically selling to big companies with contracts for local con-struction projects like the Rio Tinto Alcan modernization.

Of course investors come in all shapes and sizes and there are many individual in-vestors as well.

Cameron OrrKitimat RCMP say that an at-

tempted vehicle theft was disrupted by the vehicle’s owner and a neigh-bour, but police are still looking for help in tracking the suspects.

On September 22 police re-ceived the report of the attempted theft, in the area of Drake Street and Lahakas Boulevard.

Police say three people set off an alarm on the vehicle which alerted the owner and neighbour.

Extensive patrols were made by the Kitimat RCMP but the suspects were not located.

There was no reported damage to the vehicle and there was nothing reported taken during the at-tempt.

Anyone with in-formation on this � le is asked to contact the local RCMP at 250-632-7111, or call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).

When calling

Crime Stoppers, quote RCMP de-tachment � le number 2013-3394.

The suspects have been de-scribed as:

1) First Nations female, long black hair, mid-20s, wearing a white hoodie;

2) Tall, middle-eastern male, mid-20s, wearing a grey hoodie;

3) Shorter male, mid-20s, wear-ing a black hoodie, carrying a black backpack.

Meanwhile the police are re-minding residents to not leave any valuables in their vehicles, and to make sure they are locked and se-cure while parked.

Vehicle theft was thwarted by owner

A loss to Smithers, a win to the Kings

Ice Demons finish third in Challenge Cup

Shaun ThomasThe Kitimat Ice

Demons � nished third in the Northern Chal-lenge Cup in Prince Rupert on Sept. 20 and 21, coming away with a win and a loss.

The Demons faced off with the defend-ing CIHL champion Smithers Steelheads on Friday night, and found themselves down early.

Smithers jumped out to a 3-0 lead within six minutes of the � rst on goals by Mark Ar-nold, Adam Devries and Darryl Young.

But Kitimat started to make its come back when the Demon’s Nick Markowsky picked up a loose puck and put it over the glove of Tyler Per-reault with 8:44 to play, and Derek Delisser put a pass across the crease over Perreault’s block-er late in the � rst to pull within one through one period.

The comeback was complete when Kiti-mat’s Derek Wakita put

home the loose puck in front to tie things up at three early in the sec-ond.

Mark Arnold put a backhand over the pad of Brett Vilness with 8:33 to play to pull ahead again, but Kitimat’s Ben Rumley responded with 4:42 to play, cutting across the crease and going high glove side. The period ended 4-4.

In the third, how-ever, the Steelheads put the game away when Brad Goss gave Smith-ers the lead and Darryl Young added the emp-ty netter to give Smith-ers the 6-4 win.

On Saturday, play-ing in the consolation game, the Demons handily defeated the Terrace River Kings in a game that included 130 minutes in pen-alties. Ben Rumley opened the scoring just 2:14 into the game, though the Kings’ Chris Brown put one past Tom Mildenberger less than three minutes

later to tie things up. But from there the De-mons would shut down the Terrace offence.

Kyle Boudreautt deked out Dawson Kluss and found the back of the net with 6:26 to play to pull Kit-imat ahead, and with just one second left on the clock Joel Findlay put home a breakaway glove-side wrister to put the Demons up 3-1. The second saw plenty of penalties and no scoring, but the De-mons put the game out of reach early in the third when Ian Cole-man put away a glove-side backhander with 16:20 on the clock and, less than a minute lat-er, Wade Masch found a loose puck in front and put it past Kluss to give Kitimat the 5-1 win.

Meanwhile the Smithers Steelheads plowed ahead to claim the Challenge Cup for the weekend, their sec-ond straight victory in the tournament.

While in Prince Rupert on September 20 and 21, the Kitimat Ice Demons placed third during the Northern Challenge Cup Tournament. The Demons lost one game to the Steelheads but earned a victory later against the River Kings.

Chevron Canada invites you to attend a Community Open House on the Clio Bay Restoration Project

Chevron invites you to learn more about the proposed Clio Bay Marine Life Restoration Project.

This proposed project would see Chevron excavate marine clay from the Kitimat LNG construction site at Bish Cove and work closely with the Federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans to deposit this natural material in specific locations in Clio Bay. The clay will cap-off decaying wood debris left by historic log booming operations that has accumulated on the bottom of Clio Bay, damaging the Bay’s natural ecosystem. A key goal of the project is to restore natural marine life populations in Clio Bay.

Come and share your thoughts and ideas with us and learn more about this innovative restoration project.

The Kitimat Ice Demons will start the 2013-14 CIHL season on home ice, with perennial rivals the Terrace River Kings as the � rst opponents for the new season.

Both teams had close games last sea-son, with the Ice Demons winning three of four and losing on home ice to Terrace on December 7, 2012 by a close score of 5-4.

Kitimat also despatched the River

Kings in the playoffs in two games win-ning 4-3 on home ice on January 26 and eliminating Terrace in a hard-fought game, 7-4 on February 2.

The opening weekend will be a double header, with Quesnel Kangaroos, who start their season in Prince Rupert on Saturday, providing opposition for a 1:00 p.m. start, the � rst of three Sunday games

Ice Demons will play. The Demons then go on the road play-

ing in Prince Rupert on October 12 and against the Houston Luckies in Houston on October 19.

The away trip winds down October 20 when the Demons will be in Smithers to play last season's league champions, the Steelheads.
