Kitimat recyclers get a monetary lifelineBy Cameron OrrTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

KITIMAT - The non-pro� t Kiti-mat Understanding the Environ-ment society is receiving an ad-ditional $2,500 a month from the District of Kitimat to offset fall-ing prices for the cardboard and other material it collects.

The money will help keep the group a� oat.

KUTE’s double-whammy includes labour costs that re� ect an increased minimum wage, and employment costs related to a high turnover of staff. As well, the price of cardboard and of-� ce paper has tumbled to levels that make it impossible to actu-ally make money, let alone break

even.“We’re losing money as we

speak,” said KUTE President Barb Hall. “I’m not trying to make money, I’m just trying to keep the place going.”

In a letter to councillors, Hall outlined the losses the organiza-tion has seen since November. In that month they lost $3,319.15, in December they were down $3,132.66, in January it was $2,550.24 and in February they lost $2,793.73.

They’re currently facing a cardboard price of $50 a tonne, which is down from $70 in Feb-ruary last year. Meanwhile of� ce paper has tumbled from $125 to $60 a tonne.

“We need it to be in the $90

a tonne [range],” said Hall about cardboard. She didn’t say how high of� ce paper would need to go to make money on processing it but said as well it would have to go much higher.

She has no indication on when the price of cardboard might rise again.

“It’s one of those things, how do you know?” she said. “If I knew that, I would be a billion-aire.”

Hall notes that last year’s res-idential cardboard ban is not a signi� cant factor in their money losses.

“It’s not that we have the cardboard ban that is the prob-lem. It’s just that we’re losing money a little bit faster,” she said.

“It is a factor but it would hap-pen regardless. We just had so many things happen all at once. All these people leaving so we don’t have real experienced peo-ple there either.”

In her letter to council Hall said that KUTE had lost six em-ployees since November 2012, two of those being depot manag-ers. In a three week period they had to pay ten weeks worth of holiday pay for outgoing em-ployees, she wrote to council.

What takes off in Prince Rupertcould very well land in VegasBy Martina PerryThe NorTherN coNNecTor

PRIINCE RUPERT - A cheap flight from Alber-ta may be the best bet to get Rupertities straight to Vegas.

YPR is working with Calgary-based En-erjet and its consultant Ross Brown to provide Prince Rupert with a Boeing 737 flight to Ve-gas. “Sooner or later it will happen,” said Rick Reed, YPR manager.

“Las Vegas is an at-tractive place that people always want to go to.”

Reed said Enerjet will be enticing Alber-tans to fly to Prince Ru-pert with bargain bin seat prices. While Al-bertans visit or work in Prince Rupert, those on the North Coast can fly out to the Nevada hot spot. “[A jet to Prince Rupert] costs money and flying empty costs big money. Filling as many seats as possible helps pay for that trip over to Rupert,” Reed said.

Albertan passen-gers would remain in the community, while

Prince Rupert passen-gers would board the plane and make a stop in Prince George to pick up additional passengers. Commuters from both communities would re-turn on the same aircraft and be dropped off in their communities be-fore Albertans fly home.

Part of the reason for the stop in Prince George is that the airport there is an international one, set-up to deal with customs and immigra-tions services that aren’t offered at the Prince Ru-

pert airport.But likely to come

before flights to Vegas are flights from Rupert to Victoria during busier times of the year. YPR is currently working with Yukon-based Air North to move residents to Vancouver Island around holidays like Christmas and Thanks-giving when there’s an increased demand.

“That will probably bear fruit faster than the [Las Vegas flight],” Reed said, estimating both flights could be in place

by the end of 2013. YPR has seen a 4.5

per cent increase in pas-sengers through the first part of 2013, and that has created demand for an additional Air Can-ada flight to Vancouver on Saturday. As a re-sult, there will now be two round-trip flights to Vancouver seven days a week. “We’re glad they have added that flight, and are responding to the market demand here in the community where traffic is up… it’s a posi-tive sign,” said Reed.

Airport society celebrates 15thyear at northwestern airportBy Josh MasseyThe NorTherN coNNecTor

TERRACE - On a cloudless day representatives from the provin-cial, federal and regional gov-ernments gathered at the Terrace airport to celebrate the Terrace-Kitimat airport society’s 15th year.

Planes kept touching down throughout the March 28 meet-ing and tour, and this celebration of recent success was marked by a sense of urgency, as airport man-ager Carman Hendry said that up-grades to the aprons and access will be necessary if all of the ma-jor mining and LNG projects get approved in the area.

Despite growing demand, not all funding applications have been accepted, said Hendry.

Companies have been slow to let the airport know if their proj-ects are going through, and need to provide “solid information,” said Hendry.

Shell, for instance, keeps tell-ing them their workers will be coming in droves, but can’t sup-ply solid numbers, said airport so-ciety president Ron Burnett.

“We’re not going to build all this stuff just to be left with it at the end of the bubble,” said Hen-dry.

This surge in passengers , driven by the expansion of ma-jor northern projects like the Rio Tinto Alcan smelter upgrade in Kitimat, Red Chris mine, the Northwest Transmission Line and others are driving traffic up.

In February 2010 the air-port sold $800,000 in ticket sales. Compare that to $2.4 million this February and the growth is obvi-ous, said Hendry.

The airport is run by a not-for-profit society, and judging by the statistics thrown around during the meeting and tour, the board has been successful at improving the airport’s reputation.

It used to be the Terrace-Kit-

imat airport shared the dubious distinction of being the county’s most difficult airport to land in, along with Castlegar.

In 2001 Terrace turned away 221 flights. In 2012 that number was reduced to 23.

Installation of new land-sky navigation technology has gone a long way toward bringing that number down, said Hendry. Re-cent additions to the airport in-clude new bathrooms and a fourth airplane stand, said Hendry.

Hawkair manager Rod How-ard underlined the importance of the airport to the local econo-my, saying he cuts cheques for $180,000 to employees living in the district.

Burnett said one addition the society hopes to see in the future is a Canadian border service so in-ternational visitors can fly straight in, which would promote tourism.

The airport was first devel-oped during the Second World War.

Cain case costnearly $20,000By Margaret SpeirsThe NorTherN coNNecTor

TERRACE - The Kitimat-Stikine Regional District spent close to $20,000 in its unsuccessful bid to have a German shepherd declared a dangerous animal and then destroyed.

The largest portion of that amount went to the re-gional district’s lawyer it hired to present its case in court.

Legal fees to pay for the regional district’s law-yer Troy De Souza plus his flights, accommodation, meals and any other expenses totalled about $16,000, said regional district treasurer Verna Wickie.

De Souza is from Victoria and had to be flown in for the trial.

Cain spent nearly a year in jail after being seized and until the court case was heard. In all, he was at the regional district’s Thornhill animal shelter for 329 days – April 5, 2012 to Feb. 28, 2013 – and, at $8 per day, that cost the regional district $2,632.

On April 5 2012, Cain allegedly attacked three boys, tearing the pants of one, biting the arm of a second boy and knocking down and standing on the back of a third boy in lower Thornhill, reported po-lice at that time.

The dog was seized and taken to the Terrace an-imal shelter as it was a weekend and the Thornhill animal shelter wasn’t open, said police. He was tak-en to the Thornhill Shelter the following week. The case sparked widespread social media comment with supporters of Cain in particular advocating that he be moved to the Kitimat shelter where they said living conditions were better pending a conclusion of the hearing.

Provincial court judge Brian Neal turned down the application to destroy the dog Feb. 28, saying the lawyer for the regional district had failed to prove its case, which took up four days of court time.

But that’s not the end of Cain’s story. After court finished Feb. 28, owner Paul MacNeil said his under-standing was that even though the bylaw says Thorn-hill residents may only have two dogs, that a third dog is acceptable if the owner gets a kennel licence instead of individual dog licences.

However, according to Murray Daly, regional district bylaw enforcement officer, MacNeil lives in the single family residential zone (R1), which doesn’t allow kennels.

Regional district animal control bylaw #13.1 says “no person shall keep three or more dogs appar-ently over the age of four (4) months on any parcel unless kennel use is a permitted use of the parcel in accordance with the Regional District’s Zoning By-law.”

City of Prince Rupert facing a $500,000 budget shortfallBy Martina PerryTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - While the City of Prince Rupert’s budget is still over a month from be-ing approved, council is weighing its options to lower the projected half-a-million-dollar operating de� cit.

“We’re going to have to do a whole lot of juggling… If we want to make a good deci-sion on the budget we need to look at [all the options],” Councillor Anna Ashley said.

At this point of the process, there aren’t many changes from last year’s budget, aside from a hefty increase in funds allocated for paving projects. There is currently $550,000 allocated to various projects, signi� cant-ly higher than the $267,000 2012 paving budget.

However, there were a few new requests from city staff to be included in the budget, the � rst being to hire a half-time clerk at the RCMP detachment to free up investigators from administrative work, allowing more time for investigation. This would come at a cost of $30,000 for the City.

Two requests also came from the civic centre, asking to re� ll the manager position at

$70,000, a position that has been left empty since the last employee retired. The civic cen-tre also asked for an additional $400,000 on top of what the City is already setting aside for renovations for other projects.

But Councillor Joy Thorkelson said the incremental costs aren’t likely to be included this year.

“We keep saying next year, but I believe next year is coming. We just need to keep our body and soul together for another couple of years before next year does come…” she said.

“There’s always been more needs than money, and of course we have not been fortunate enough to see any great change to the tax roll… This might be another year where we hold on and try to get by,” Mayor Jack Mussallem said.

But before being able to get by, the City must cut over $500,000 for the operating bud-get. Dan Rodin, acting city manager, out-lined options that could balance the budget, including reducing 2013’s paving budget by $100,000 to $150,000. This choice has been popular in the past, and would still provide staff with a minimum of $300,000 for miscel-laneous paving projects.

Another option, perhaps least likely to have support of residents, is to increase property taxes with one per cent tax in-crease generates approximately $100,000 in taxes.

“The tax increase we’ve seen over the last six years have been very small, and haven’t met our wages increases in that period at all,” Rodin said.

The City could also decide to reduce the level of services in Prince Rupert, such as cut-ting back funds spent on maintaining parks, reducing staff at City Hall, or shortening the time the recreation centre or City Hall are open.

Thorkelson said closing City Hall for a day could be catastrophic for city staff, and could potentially mean losing good employ-ees.

“That’s a 20 per cent wage cut to some-body whose working. That would likely mean losing anybody who isn’t riding out one year to retirement. Anyone who is quali� ed is go-ing to be looking for another job,” Thorkelson said.

Prince Rupert could also choose to take money from the $1.7 million accu-mulated operating fund surplus from past

years, although Rodin warned it wouldn’t be � scally prudent to use all of these funds.

Council decided to wait and hear what the public thinks on April 15, when the pub-lic consultation process of the budget starts, before deciding on any cost-slashing. The budget must be approved by or on May 13.

KITIMAT - Red Chamber is hot. Steamy hot.

Whether it is fast and furious string band music, sultry Imperi-al Court classics, or cutting-edge contemporary creations, Red Chamber’s passionate energy em-bodies every note.

Canada’s Red Chamber fea-tures four virtuosic performers that have collectively become an innovative powerhouse in the in-ternational music scene, with concert tours from Europe’s top concert halls to Asia’s premiere International festivals.

Red Chamber takes its inspi-ration from the rare traditional Chinese “Plucked String” rep-

ertoire to present a captivatingly unique program embracing string band music spanning centuries, a host of world cultures, and a myriad of musical genres. Con-summate performers, their su-perb virtuosity is exemplified in performances of ancient Chinese Court music from the Tang Dy-nasty (618-907), to contemporary Canadian compositions, and an intriguing range of other works including Balkan, Gypsy jazz, American Old-Timey and Blue-grass.

The quartet is led by Mei Han, celebrated for making the Chinese zither whisper and growl, is heralded as the “Zheng Master” (Montreal Gazette).

She is joined by Guilian Liu, internationally recognized as one

of the world’s premiere pipa (Chi-nese lute) players, Zhimin Yu, es-tablished as the only ruan (bass lute) virtuoso in North America, and award-winning multi-instru-mentalist Geling Jiang.

This outstanding ensemble of seasoned international perform-ers is constantly stretching the boundaries of traditional Chinese instruments, bringing them to the world stage to perform music at its finest. With dazzling tech-nique, alluring presentations, and exceptional musical experiences that heed no limits, Red Cham-ber’s concerts are absolutely not to be missed.Tickets are available at the theatre on the night of the concert (April 12, at 8 p.m.) or at Hollywood Video.

It’s April which means it’s time to buy your daffodils, a fundraiser campaign for the Canadian Cancer Society.

Those wishing to pick up their yellow flowers can do so at the City Centre Mall on the 5th and 6th.

They will be set up on the second floor.People can call Renate Cole for more informa-

tion, at 250-632-7359.In addition to the flowers people are also wel-

come to buy a yellow pin, money to go to the same cause.

Generic drug costs lowering overall health care billsBy Staff ReporterThe NorTherN coNNecTor

VICTORIA -British Co-lumbians will soon no-tice they are paying less for many of the generic prescription drugs they need for their health, in-dicates a press release from the provincial gov-ernment.

Starting April 1, a new drug pricing regu-lation will reduce the price of generic drugs to 25 per cent of the brand name price, from the current rate of 35 per cent of the brand name price. The price will fur-ther drop to 20 per cent in April 2014.

“Thanks to this reg-ulation, B.C. families will pay less at the till when they fill their pre-scriptions. These price reductions will also save money for the provincial

government - money that can be used instead to help enhance patient care in B.C.’s health sys-tem,” said Health Minis-ter Margaret MacDiar-mid.

The drug price reg-ulation is the first in a suite of regulations re-quired to fully imple-ment the Pharmaceuti-cal Services Act, which came into force in May 2012.

The act shifts B.C.’s PharmaCare program from relying on govern-ment policy, to being protected by legislation.

The regulation al-lows the Minister of Health to regulate the price of prescription drugs. Generic drugs have the same qual-ity, strength, purity and stability as their brand name equivalents and are made to the same

strict standards.“Reducing the price

of generic drugs benefits our clients by making prescription drugs more affordable for families and employer insurance plans,” said Kenneth G. Martin, president and CEO of Pacific Blue Cross.

“We support this regulation, as it brings B.C. in line with other Canadian jurisdictions and helps ensure fair and consistent pricing.”

“As retirees and members of the Munic-ipal Pension Retirees Association, we believe that seniors jeopardize their health to pay for costly drugs,” said Ste-ven Polak, president of the Municipal Pen-sion Retirees Associa-tion. “The new drug legislation introduced by the government has

changed this. Now we, the MPRA, believe that seniors can have the drugs needed at a cost seniors can afford.”

BC PharmaCare helps British Columbi-ans with the cost of eli-gible prescription drugs and designated medi-cal supplies. As one of the most comprehen-sive drug programs in Canada, it provides rea-sonable access to drug therapy for every British Columbian through sev-eral drug plans.

Under B.C.’s Fami-lies First Agenda, gov-ernment is working to make life more af-fordable for all British Columbians. To learn more, or to share your ideas, visit: www.fami-liesfirstbc.ca

Examples of savings as a result of the drug price regulation:

* The current cost, not including standard pharmacy fees, of a 30-day

prescription of the cholesterol-lowering drug Crestor is $44. The price of the generic ver-sion of this drug today is 35 per cent of the brand name price, or about $15.40.

* On April 1, the

price of the generic drug will be reduced to 25 per cent of the brand name price, or $11. On April 1 2014, the price of the generic drug will be fur-ther reduced to 20 per cent, or $8.80.

* The anti-platelet drug Plavix currently costs $85.20 for a typi-cal 30-day prescription, not including standard

pharmacy fees. Cur-rently, the generic ver-sion costs 35 per cent of that amount, or about $29.20.

* On April 1, the price of the generic ver-sion drops to 25 per cent of the brand name, $21.30. A year later, the price of the generic drug will be reduced to about $17.

Players from across the northwest came to Prince Rupert to compete in a Kaijudo competition late last month.

Kaijudo players gather in RupertContributedThe NorTherN coNNecTor

PRINCE RUPERT - Prince Rupert game shop Good Times Games hosted one of the largest events in its five year history over the March 16 weekend as players gathered from town and even Haida Gwaii to play in a Kaiju-do collectable card game premiere.

43 players came to play in what has quickly become one of the most popular games at the shop, Ka-ijudo is a collectable card game where play-ers build decks and then compete head to head against one anoth-er.   Good Times hosted boys, girls and adults as young as five, and some over 40 over the weekend.

Organizers were excited to announce that the shop was se-lected to be one of only 24 game stores in North America to host the Kaijudo Master Challenge. The win-ner and second place finisher of the chal-lenge will then be in-vited to play in the Shattered Alliance Kai-judo Championship to be played between the top 48 players this fall in Washington.

“It is such a huge honour to be selected to host this event. We have never had the chance to run an event of this mag-nitude and to be such a small town competing with places like Edmon-ton and Vancouver and still be selected shows

our dedication and effort to gaming in our town,” said Rob Gruber, co-owner of Good Times Games

Exciting news for Prince Rupert and en-

tire North Coast of B.C., the big event will take place sometime in May or June this year. Good Times expects the turn-out for this event to po-tentially run over 100

players with players coming from as Victoria and Alberta for a chance to win entry into the Championship that will be taking place in the fall.

Buck a Truck campaign in Terrace is onBy Diana BatesonThe NorTherN coNNecTor

TERRACE - The Kalum Community School So-ciety is launching its “Buck for a Truck” cam-paign to replace the old pickup truck that has been used for the various food programs operating in Terrace.

The old truck, which was donated to the soci-ety in 2002, has served the community well, picking up and deliver-ing food for programs such as the Good Food Box, Food Share, and Hungry Kids Project.

In the spring, it is also used to deliver equipment to the school and community gardens. This has led to it being referred to as the “com-munity truck”.

However, the truck is now often needing re-pairs, costing the society money it can’t then use elsewhere and disrupt-ing the operations of the food programs.

It has been decided that it is time to retire the old truck and find a more reliable vehicle.

An information ta-ble, with posters, bro-chures, and donation jars will be set up in Save On Foods on Sat-urday, April 6 to encour-age people in the com-munity to contribute a loonie toward buying a newer vehicle.

Donation jars, bro-chures, and posters will also be placed in various participating businesses around town.

Although most peo-ple in Terrace have heard of the food programs,

many are not aware of the Kalum Community School Society, which is responsible for develop-ing these programs.

KCSS is a non-profit organization that has provided commu-nity programs for vul-nerable children, youth, and families in Terrace, Thornhill, and six sur-rounding First Nations villages since 1997.

KCSS’s mission is to work with communi-ty partners within neigh-bourhood schools to enable success and be-longing for all people.

The primary goal of the Hungry Kids Proj-ect is to improve food security for children in Terrace and surrounding areas. Terrace and the outlying communities have experienced higher than provincial average unemployment levels, 10.3 per cent in October

2012.These high unem-

ployment levels have contributed to the rise in the number of peo-ple, including youth and children, using food banks.

In March 2012, a count done of people using food banks that month illustrates the need – 721 adults and 558 children. There is a link between nutrition and academic perfor-mance. It is hard to con-centrate on schoolwork when you’re hungry.

KCSS addresses this problem serving more than 2,000 servings of food in schools weekly in Terrace and Thornhill. In its efforts to respond to the emergency food needs, it receives sig-nificant donations from local distributors, stores and farmers.

In 2012, more than

300 pounds of food a day was being recov-ered and distributed to those in need. That’s 9,000 pounds of waste per month that would otherwise end up in our landfill! KCSS has also developed some school community gardens, hoping to utilize and preserve produce for the school salad bars, break-fast and lunch programs.

Canada is one of the few developed countries in the world without a national food program.

It is time for all lev-els of governments and community members to deal with this problem in a way that prevents hunger from happening, increases community resources, and provides opportunities for those dealing with food inse-curity to become self-sufficient.

Please support KC-

SS’s “Buck for a Truck” campaign and help with the effort to end hunger now!

In addition to the table at Save On Foods April 6, larger dona-tions can be made at the Northern Savings Credit Union in the name of the society or by going to the society’s website, at www.kcssterrace.com.

Diana Bateson is a social services worker diploma student.

THANK YOU SO MUCHDad was very fortunate during his lifetime and illness

to acquire the love of many friends, family and caregiv-ers. He appreciated your support through your visits, encouraging words, your actions and prayer. It was very important to him as well as our family. We are comforted to know he left this world knowing how much he was loved.

We also would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to Dr. Strydom. He considered you a “Bud”. He respected you as his physician and valued you as a true friend. We are so grateful to you that he was able to be at home surrounded and held by all the hearts that loved him so deeply.

Your friendship, compassion and support have carried us through. We are so blessed.

Helen, Bonnie, Sherry, Patti and Families

Herbert Metzmeier“In loving memory of Herbert

Metzmeier: faithful husband, dedi-cated father and proud Opa. Born in Kuppenheim, Germany in 1926 to Theodor and Bertha Metzmeier, he is pre-deceased by his brother Theodor, his two sisters: Irmengard & Gertrude, and his loving wife and companion of 37 years, Elizabeth Metzmeier (nee: Kai-ser, 2004).

Immigrating to Canada in 1951 Herb (as he was known to his friends) moved to Penny, BC where he lived for 10+ years. These were wondrous years, full of trapping, fishing, hunting and living in the wilds of northern BC. Some of Herb’s exploits as a hunter are documented in the book “Grizzly Bear Mountain.”

Herb moved to Terrace in the early 60’s where he worked in the bush as a ‘faller’ for the rest of his working life. He also had many hidden talents, from woodworking and finished carpentry, to cooking and baking traditional ‘old country’ dishes. Many fine piec-es of furniture or delicious baking were given as gifts and ‘Christmas traditions’ through the years. Papa (to his kids) was a very private man, but to those of us who knew him, we discovered a generous, genuinely caring man who was deeply loyal & committed to his family.

We will miss your shining, laughing eyes, your bushy eyebrows and the unforgettable stories of your life and experiences here and from the ‘old country.’ May God bless you and keep you...”The family would like to invite all friends and family to share their memories and stories at a Family Open-House, to be held Saturday, April 13 from 1:00 - 5:00 pm, @ 4919 Davis Avenue.

Michael SontoDocherty

Born March 28th, 1945; re-born into the Kingdom of God on March 28th, 2013. Mike was a walking miracle touching the lives of so many through his profound journey with cancer.

Predeceased by his first wife Gail Docherty and son Ronn Docherty, Mike will be forever in our hearts. His life is cel-ebrated by his loving family including: wife Suzie, sons Paul (Karen), and grandson Branden, and Kraig (Vanessa) Docherty, stepchildren Sam (Carrie), Luke (Summer) and Mary Turri, brother Ron (Lorraine) Docherty and sister Mar-lene (Mel) Beg, niece Farrah (Mike) Sugg and grand-niece Avery, nephew Mike Beg, his wife Nancy Ciavarella and grand-nephew Andrew and grand-niece Frances, niece Marissa Beg and husband John Lucas and grand-neph-ew Finn, and many more relatives and friends. Over his professional career “Doc” made a lasting, positive impres-sion on the many colleagues he worked with both locally and around the world. First Transit, Kelowna office and BC Transit will never be the same.

Mike took great enjoyment in singing at church, garden-ing for his wife, and refereeing football; but lamented the fact that he had to hang up his fly fishing rod when he could no longer fish Lakelse Lake in Terrace, BC. His 46 year transit career is what he was most proud of. “Doc” was passionate about safety for riders and drivers. He leaves as part of his legacy his co-authorship of the Cana-dian Safety in Transit manual.

Mike was anchored by a deep Christian faith and pro-found love of his family. He always put others ahead of himself. He will be deeply missed.

A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, April 6th at Evangel Church (3261 Gordon Drive Kelowna, BC) at 1:00 pm. Funeral arrangements with Springfield Funeral Home (http://www.springfieldfuneralhome.com). 250-860-7077.

Cage fighting force coming to TerraceBy Anna KillenTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

TERRACE - Fight nights have happened in Terrace before – but none quite like the tour-nament taking place at the Sportsplex on April 13.

Because this upcoming amateur � ght night, Cage Fighting Force One, means Ter-race sports fans get to lay eyes on “the cage” in our local arena – a professional-grade � ght cage not unlike those used in big, televised events, except this one’s a hexagon, not an oc-tagon. Athletes from all over the northwest, some as far away as Vancouver and Fort St. John, and at least half of the card hailing from the Terrace-area will be grappling it out in front of a packed Sportsplex, complete with a weigh-in the night before, ring girls, and ring-side seating.

It’s the beginning of � ght coach and pro-moter (we could actually refer to him as Ter-race’s Don King) Tony Rutledge’s plan to build up a hub of amateur � ghters here in the northwest. He and his national � ghting fed-eration, Cage Fighting Force, are set to start hosting events all over the area – Terrace, Kit-imat, Smithers, Rupert to start – eventually moving to the national stage.

“We’re hoping we’ll be up to Cage Fight-ing Force 100 by the next four or � ve years,” said Rutledge.

By hosting a big tournament every few months, they’ll be showcasing local athletes in both mixed-martial arts (MMA) and kick-boxing, while drawing more new athletes to those clubs. This means Cage Fighting Force will have a bigger pool of athletes to draw from to showcase to the professional league.

“All and all, we’re hoping that a UFC prospect comes out of the Terrace area,” he said. “A lot of people don’t get the oppor-tunity to take this journey – promoters like myself, I’m the only one outside of Prince George, and I’ve got Northern British Colum-bia pretty much to myself as an amateur pro-

moter.”And if these athletes don’t get showcased,

they won’t get bigger opportunities.“You can go to a thousand tournaments

and be a great � ghter, but if nobody knows about you...,” he said. “Now you can come onto one of our cards and thousands and thou-sands of people will see you and know about you and that’s how you get recognized for the pro-league.”

Rutledge has been involved in the in-dustry since the very beginning – two of his � ghters were on the card at the � rst Canadi-an-sanctioned event, way back in 1997 when

they called the sport “shootboxing.”Since then, it’s easily grown into one of

Canada’s most-watched sports, and Rut-ledge’s experience, as both a trainer and a promoter, has him con� dent he knows how to foster its growth in the area and get northwest athletes noticed across Canada.

For � ghters, solid training is key, he says. Sometimes dif� cult for athletes who also work full-time, physically demanding jobs – especially when you take into consideration the amount of rest time an athlete needs after a tournament.

And Terrace athletes will have a slight

advantage going into these events simply be-cause the cage that they’ll be � ghting in is right here, at Rutledge’s dojo in Thornhill.

“I’ve got the only cage outside of – holy mackerel – probably Vancouver,” he said. “I use it all of the time. Not everybody has a cage to train in – a lot of the athletes that come to these things have never been in a cage before, they train in a ring.”

But cage training isn’t just for athletes looking to compete in front of a crowd – Rut-ledge also does one-on-one work outs for those serious about getting in shape.

“A lot of people are intimidated by the concept of working out in a cage,” he said. “But once you get in there, it’s like being in your living room.”

He says from a self-defence standpoint, it makes sense to train in a cage because if you need to fend off an attacker, it will more often than not be in an enclosed space.

And Rutledge confronts the stigma that these � ghts are dangerous and masochistic head on – � rst, the event is all-ages without alcohol to encourage more women and kids.

He also wants to encourage females to try the sport, noting there is a solid group of fe-male � ghters he’s been training from New Ai-yansh.

“There are a lot training, but not many � ghting,” he said.

And he stresses they’re serious about proper training for their � ghters.

“We don’t just take people off the streets, some of these guys have trained for up to two years before they decide to get into the cage,” he said.

“We’re actually doing the opposite – we’re taking these troubled kids and bring-ing them off the streets and teaching them respect, discipline and then letting them showcase themselves through our cage and showing them the right way to do it – there’s a right way and a wrong way of course.”

Cage Fighting Force One is April 13 at the Terrace Sportsplex. Doors at 6 p.m.

Slubowski out of Hobey BakerBy Shaun ThomasTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - Despite � nishing in the Top 10 of fan voting for the prestigious Hobey Baker Award, the top in-dividual prize in NCAA hockey, Prince Rupert’s Frank Slubowski will not be among those vying for the title.

Slubowski � nished seventh in the popular vote when it wrapped up last month, Slubowki was noticeably absent when the judges released the list of � nalists. No reason was given by the judges for the omission.

Slubowski stared every game for the University of West-ern Michigan Broncos, � nishing with a 19-11-8 record, a 2.00 goals against average and a .918 save percentage. That was enough to give the Broncos a bye in the � rst round of the playoffs, but the team saw their playoff hopes dashed when the University of Michigan swept the series with a 4-3 opening game win and a 5-1 victory in the second game.

With this season now in the books, Slubowski will be seeing some new competition next year as the Broncos move from the Central Collegiate Hockey Association (CCHA) to the National Collegiate Hockey Conference (NCHC). That conference includes teams like Miami University, the Uni-versity of Denver, the University of Nebraska, the Univer-sity of Minnesota, the University of North Dakota and more.

Haisla girls stand tall at All NativeBy Cameron OrrTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

KITIMAT - The Haisla Ju-nior Girls won big at the Ju-nior All Native Basketball provincial championships in mid-March, which was host-ed in the four villages of the Nisga’a Nation.

The team played six games throughout the week, against the Okanagan, Old Masset, Kincolith and Hes-quiaht. The Haisla girls would face the Okanagan team again in the semi-� nals, and advance to the � nals after defeating them 68-49.

The Haisla Girls were set for a re-match with the Hesquiaht Storm for the � -nal, and the local girls came out with a strong defence that could not be penetrated.

Team manager Margaret Grant said the team took the lead and never looked back,

in an e-mail to the Sentinel.In addition to their team

championship banner, team members Megan Metz and Kierra Stevens received All

Stars honours, while Kai-lee Gardiner earned the title of Miss Hustle and Jennifer Nyce took MVP.

Coach Mike Ridsdale

is looking forward to taking the team into competition next year for the tournament which will take place in Ka-mloops in 2014.

Every Canadian of a certain age remembers the day the Exxon Valdez ran aground in Prince William Sound, Alaska. It was a tragic day and one which marked a turning point for marine shipping along British Columbia’s coastline.

Following the Exxon spill, the marine shipping industry in Canada and worldwide began to rethink virtually every aspect of its business. It wasn’t easy. But it was absolutely necessary. And looking back 24 years later, the industry has taken great strides to ensure another catastrophic spill never happens again.

Nowhere is our progress more evident than in the way we are approaching the Northern Gateway Pipeline. The standards it will be built and operated to far exceed anything ever contemplated a generation ago.

Like similar facilities in Norway and Scotland, every tanker calling on Northern Gateway’s marine terminal will be double-hulled, and adhere to stringent standards. That means no tankers older than 20 years will be allowed to operate. It means every tanker must carry the most advanced navigational technology and be crewed by only the most highly

trained professionals. And it means that laden tankers will have two tugs escorting them, one tethered.

Our goal: to reduce the risk of a spill to as close to zero as possible. And if a spill does occur, our tug escorts will provide immediate fi rst response to minimize the impact on the environment while our full emergency response is quickly brought to bear. Our response program will greatly enhance safety for all marine traffi c on B.C.’s north coast.

We hope all Canadians recognize that the Exxon Valdez spill resulted in real and lasting change. For Canada’s oil marine shipping industry, the events of that day 24 years ago marked a moment of profound change. As a result, British Columbians can benefi t from the enormous economic opportunity our industry generates, while being confi dent that our environment is protected.

Fields is coming back to RupertBy Martina PerryThe NorTherN coNNecTor

PRINCE RUPERT - It’s been just less than a year since Prince Ru-pert’s Fields Store shut down, but before the one-year mark is up Prince Rupert will see the return of the de-partment store.

FHC Holding Ltd. purchased the Fields name from the Hud-son’s Bay Company last May, and will re-

instate Prince Rupert’s shop thanks to the community’s bright fu-ture.

“Prince Rupert was a reasonably well-received store in that community,” Jason McDougall, President of FHC, said.

“Prince Rupert is really starting to come into its own. There’s a lot of positive things going on there. We saw it as an opportunity to be involved in those

positive changes.”McDougall said

the store will have a higher emphasis on clothing, and will be lo-cated in the lower level of the Rupert Square Mall.

“I think they offer something in between Wal-Mart and Dol-larama. They’re go-ing to have a good mix [of products],” Tom Chang, manager of the Rupert Square, said.

The store will need

five to seven full-time employees, with eight to 10 employees needed overall. Positions will include a store man-ager, assistant store manager, senior sales associate and sales as-sociates.

McDougall expects Prince Rupert’s Fields to be open in June.

Shaun ThomaS / The noRTheRn ConneCToR

Fields will be returning to the Rupert Square Mall later this summer.
