Bomb threat shuts down Rupert coreBy Shaun ThomasTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - Traffic into the down-town core was funneled through 3rd Avenue West on Nov. 26 fol-lowing a bomb threat at Safeway.

RCMP responded to a call from an employee shortly after 1 p.m. The staff member said they received a call from an unknown person re-garding “a suspicious item being inside the building”. While nev-er confirming the item, multiple staff sources indicated it was a bomb threat in the store.

Based on the risk in-volved, RCMP evacu-ated Safeway, 7/11 and the BC Liquor Store and, with assistance from the Prince Rupert fire department, blocked access to the entire 100 block of 1st and 2nd Av-enue West for the dura-tion of the investigation. A police service dog was brought in to conduct a search of the building.

After an exten-sive search of Safe-way that lasted until ap-proximately 1:30 a.m. on Nov. 27, officers deemed the business to

be safe of any such item. “Police would like

to thank the communi-ty of Prince Rupert for their patience and un-derstanding in this mat-ter. The investigation is still underway, however police believe that there

is no risk to the public as they proceed forward,” reads a police statement.

The scare at the Prince Rupert Safeway was not the only one in the chain.

On Nov. 14 two Safeway stores in Cal-

gary and one in Co-chrane, Alberta received a bomb threat that was later determined to be a hoax while on Nov. 13 there was a bomb threat at the Fort McMurray Safeway that was de-termined to have been

made from the U.S. Anyone with in-

formation on this inci-dent is asked to call the Prince Rupert RCMP Detachment at 250-627-0700 or Crime Stop-pers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

Ferry dock replacement raises “Buy American” concernsBy Shaun ThomasTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - Requirements that ma-terials used in the replacement of the Alaska Ferry dock in Prince Rupert be produced in the U.S. are raising red flags throughout the country’s manufacturing industry.

Because the $10 million to $15 million project is being funded by taxpayer dol-lars through the U.S. Federal Department of Transportation it falls under the Buy Amer-ican policy, which means all iron and steel products must be manufactured in the Unit-ed States. But because the terminal is locat-ed on land owned by the Prince Rupert Port

Authority, the Canadian Manufacturers and Exporters (CME) say the policy is unfairly hurting Canadian companies.

“An issue as contentious as Buy Ameri-can protectionism appearing on federal land in B.C. demands our attention. All munici-palities across B.C., and especially the city council of Prince Rupert, should adopt a reciprocity policy for all their infrastruc-ture procurement contracts,” said CME vice-president Marcus Ewert-Johns.

“Someone has to step up for Canada here. This type of protectionist policy has no place in a trade relationship as strong as that be-tween Canada and America,” added CME president and CEO Jayson Myers.

The situation has caught the attention of International Trade Minister Ed Fast, who said his ministry is “aware of and deeply concerned by” the Buy American policy be-ing used on port authority land.

“This situation, occurring shortly follow-ing the Morrison, Colorado, bridge debacle, is yet another example of how illogical and counterproductive it is to try to segregate our economies. The extraterritorial application of these protectionist restrictions on trade within Canada by a foreign government is unreasonable,” he said.

Skeena – Bulkley Valley MP Nathan Cul-len is asking the government to make sure the Buy American policy applies to this proj-

ect.“You can understand their [Prince Rupert

residents] surprise and total frustration that a ferry terminal operating on their port, on Ca-nadian federal Crown land, will be subject to Buy American policies,” Cullen said.

“No Canadian steel or iron will be used ... this is a direct result of Conservatives’ fail-ure to stand up for Canada.”

Miners change nameTORONTO - The com-pany working on devel-oping a molybdenum mine at Kitsault on the north coast is changing its name.

Avanti Mining Inc. is now to be known as Alloycorp Mining Inc. to better reflect its over-all plan of producing steel alloys through its production of molybde-num.

The change will “effect greater public awareness and recogni-tion of the business con-ducted by the company,” said company president Gordon Bogden.

Shareholders ap-proved of the change at a meeting held Nov. 28.

At the same time,

the company has also announced a change in its senior executive ranks.

Jeff Lowe, who had been president of Avanti Kitsault Mines, the sub-sidiary owned by Alloy-corp which is develop-ing the Kitsault project, is retiring the end of De-cember.

His replacement as chief operating officer and president is Peter Mah, says Gordon Bog-den, president of Alloy-corp.

Mah is a profession-al engineer with over 23 years of practical mine operations and develop-ment experience span-ning project studies, construction and opera-

tions management with some of the industry’s largest major producers.

Most recently, Mah was the Chief Operating Officer and Executive Vice President at Luna Gold Corporation.

Mah was respon-sible for the operations of the company’s pri-mary asset, the Auri-zona Gold Mine in Ma-ranhão Brazil. Prior to this, Mah worked at Newmont Mining Cor-poration as Group Ex-ecutive, responsible for the strategic business de-velopment of early stage global gold projects.

And prior to New-mont, Mah served as the General Manager of the De Beers Victor Mine,

Ontario’s first diamond mine, where he led the development of the op-erating team during con-struction and operations.

In the meantime, the company continues work at the project site in preparation for a full construction start once its final financing is in place.

Some of that work involves expanding ac-commodation for the construction workforce.

The construction pe-riod will provide hun-dreds of jobs and op-erations over a planned 15-year life will result in more employment di-rectly and indirectly at the mine site and else-where in the region.

The Best Childcare PlanHave you read about the “affordable” childcare plan being promoted by Thomas Mulcair and Nathan Cullen? It sounds so easy, doesn’t it? Socialists are always looking for ways to warehouse your children so both parents can work and pay taxes for their socialist schemes. Wouldn’t it be better if young children could have the benefit and security of being raised in their own home, spending quality time with at least one parent? The best childcare comes from the parents who brought them into the world. The Christian Heritage Party would provide $1,000 per month to families where one parent is caring for their school-age and younger children in their own home instead of working outside the home. This would free up many jobs for young people entering the workforce and would reduce unemployment. This bene-fit would also be available to couples caring for an aging parent or a disabled family member. Which would you prefer? Higher taxes for state-run childcare or a helping hand so you can raise you own children? Check out CHP Canada’s Family Care Allowance. www.chp.ca

bcclassi� ed.comRice receives promise of equality for cabins By Shaun ThomasTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - North Coast MLA Jennifer Rice says she has a written promise from Transportation Minister Todd Stone to en-sure fairness when it comes to the cost of cabins on trips to Haida Gwaii and the Inside Passage.

Rice first brought the issue up in the Legislature on Nov. 25, directly asking Stone why the practice exists.

“The Inside Passage and Haida Gwaii ferry routes are of-ten overnight trips. For [Inside Passage] sleeping quarters it is $90, but if you use a wheelchair it is $120. The Minister of Transportation has claimed he is trying to do what he can to ‘ensure the fares are as affordable as can be’ so ... why are people who use wheelchairs being discriminated against with this unfair extra fee,” she asked.

Stone responded saying Rice could speak to him further about specific concerns, and the next day Rice said the min-ister verbally agreed. The following day, Rice said she re-ceived a letter from Stone indicating he would reverse the practice of charging passengers in wheelchairs the $120 fee for a cabin, as the more expensive outside cabins are the only ones that are wheelchair accessible.

BC Ferries spokesperson Deborah Marshall said the extra $30 was not meant to discriminate, but was “an oversight” in the design of the Northern Adventure and Northern Expedi-tion.

“We have inside cabins and outside cabins and the out-side cabins have a window and view so they cost $120. On both vessels, the only wheelchair accessible cabins are out-side cabins,” she said, noting the issue will be brought for-ward to disable passengers this winter.

“We have a disability committee, who next meet in Feb-ruary, and we will certainly bring this to that committee to discuss. In the meantime if a customer with a wheelchair wants a cabin, they can call our customer service line and we will certainly help to accommodate them.”

Toy grenades stop trafficBy Martina Perry THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - What appeared to be items that could cause a serious public safety risk to people in Cow Bay turned out to be nothing more than plastic toys.

RCMP responded to reports of what appeared to be a number of grenades under the bridge in Cow Bay on the morning of Nov. 27, with Prince Rupert RCMP and emergency personnel marshaling at the bridge and closing it to traf� c.

However, Const. Matt Ericson, spokesperson of the Prince Rupert RCMP, con� rmed that it was a number of toy grenades that were found under the bridge during the investigation.

“There’s no concern for public safety whatsoev-er,” Ericson said.

While the investigation was underway, nearby businesses were noti� ed but not evacuated.

This year’s vaccine may come up shortBy Jeff NagelTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

VICTORIA - This year’s flu shot may prove less ef-fective than usual because the dominant virus now circulating has mutated significantly in the months since the vaccine was devised.

The H3N2 strain – one of three targeted in this year’s flu vaccine – is thought to have changed its ge-netic makeup enough to possibly thwart the antibod-ies that the vaccine activates.

Dr. Danuta Skowronski, an epidemiologist with the B.C. Centre for Disease Control, is still recom-mending the vaccine, particularly for the elderly, the chronically ill and those with compromised immune systems.

“It’s not a perfect match,” she said. “But for the high risk, even an imperfectly matched vaccine is going to give cross protection. And for some people it could be life-saving.”

he said the H3N2 strain tends to be particularly nasty to the elderly and may bring a deadlier flu sea-son than usual.

“We may see more hospitalizations or deaths this year,” Skowronski said.

She said it’s particularly concerning that the flu has struck B.C. surprisingly early this season, caus-ing outbreaks in eight seniors’ care homes.

Environmental Assessment of the Proposed

Terminal A Extension Project

Open House and Invitation to Comment

Rio Tinto Alcan (Proponent) is proposing an extension to the existing marine terminal and construction of a barge ramp, tug dock and laydown facility. The proposed Terminal A Extension Project (proposed Project) is to be located at the Port of Kitimat and within proximity to the District of Kitimat and the Haisla Nation Kitamaat Village. The proposed Project is subject to review under British Columbia’s Environmental Assessment Act. The Proponent must obtain an environmental assessment certificate before any work can be undertaken on the proposed Project. However, prior to submission of an application (Application) for an environmental assessment certificate by the Proponent, Environmental Assessment Office of British Columbia (EAO) must first approve the Application Information Requirements. Key to the Application Information Requirements is the identification of Valued Components to be studied and the areas within which the studies would occur. The selected Valued Components are presented in the draft Valued Components document which the Proponent has prepared and EAO invites the public to submit comments on. In order to provide information about the Valued Component selection, EAO invites the public to attend an Open House, to be held as follows:

at: Kitimat Valley Institute 1352 Alexander Ave., Kitimat, BC on: Tuesday, December 9, 2014 from: 4:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.

There are 35 days for the submission of comments by the public in relation to the draft Valued Components document. The comment period will begin on December 4, 2014 and end on January 8, 2015. All comments received during this comment period in relation to the draft Valued Components document will be considered.

The intention of seeking public comments is to ensure that all potential effects – environmental, economic, social, heritage and health – that might result from the proposed Project are identified for consideration as part of the assessment process. At this stage of the process, the primary intent is to receive feedback about the studies or information required for a comprehensive environmental assessment. EAO accepts public comments through the following ways:

• By Online Form at http://www.eao.gov.bc.ca/pcp/index.html

• By Mail: Teresa Morris Project Assessment Manager Environmental Assessment Office PO Box 9426 Stn Prov Govt Victoria BC V8W 9V1

• By Fax: Fax: 250-387-2208

An electronic copy of the Valued Components document will be available at www.eao.gov.bc.ca by the start of the public comment period. Copies of the Valued Components document will also be available for viewing at these locations:

Rio Tinto Alcan’s Community Office 254 City Centre Mall Kitimat, BC

and Kitimat Community Library 940 Wakashan Ave. Kitimat, BC

If you are unable to participate at this time, there will be an additional comment period during the Application Review stage when you will also be able to provide comments to EAO on the proposed Project.

NOTE: All submissions received by EAO during the comment period in relation to the proposed Project are

considered public and will be posted to the EAO website.

Regional district opposes rock quarryBy Shaun ThomasTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - A proposal to place a rock quarry on Smith Island ran into staunch opposi-tion when it came before the board of the Skeena – Queen Charlotte Re-gional District.

Paci� c Rim LNG is planning to create a 124.7 hectare rock quarry development capable of producing 200,000 tonnes of con-struction rock per year for the next 20 years on the west side of the island at the mouth of the Skeena River. While the plan calls for a 30 metre buf-fer between the quarry and shore, where three barge docks would be located, directors at the meeting felt the loca-tion of the quarry was simply unacceptable.

“Smith Island is one of the most heav-ily � shed areas of the Skeena estuary in terms of the gillnet and

seine � shery. This proj-ect will have signi� -cant impacts on those � sheries both in terms of the upland effects from blasting and drill-ing. This is a signi� cant migration route for ma-ture and juvenile salm-on and the three pro-posed barge loading facilities at the fore-shore will have signi� -cant impacts on those drifts as well ... I can-not see allowing this to go forward because it will impact an econom-ic activity that we al-ready enjoy and is pro-ductive,” said director Des Nobels, who also questioned the motives of the proponent.

“They indicate they are going to take a lim-ited amount of rock out of this area to avoid an environmental assess-ment and then at the end of the project they suggest this site would be available for indus-trial use. There is al-ready a great deal of

uproar and concern around the Petronas project, which is with-in the Skeena estuary. This is one thing peo-ple fear, that we will continue to see the in-dustrialization of that estuary. Allowing this and the Petronas proj-ect would set a prece-dent and that would be the end of the area.”

Area C director Karl Bergman added his voice to that of op-position to the quarry proposal.

“It isn’t just the commercial � shery, it is a heavily used area recreationally. We also have the powerline that runs through there over to Porcher Island and Kitkatla” he said.

“There are a lot of other places this can go. If you put the quar-ry there it is going to be highly visible. This is right out at the front of Smith Island ... it’s really a poorly chosen site as far as every day

use goes.”Dan Franzen of

Port Edward also ques-tioned the need for an-other rock quarry in the area, with several al-ready operating on the

North Coast.“Right now they are

all idle and just waiting to see who is going to go � rst. It’s getting a little out of control,” he said.

Hawkair goes back to Rupert morning flightsBy Shaun ThomasTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - Hawkair is moving away from its early morning departure, returning to a mid-afternoon � ight from Prince Rupert for the winter schedule.

The company made the announcement on Nov. 28, with the change taking effect on Dec. 1. Hawkair had previously � own out of Prince Ru-pert at 8 a.m, � ve days per week, returning from Vancouver at approxi-mately 5:45 p.m., but will be leaving Prince Rupert at 1:15 p.m. and returning at 10:45 a.m. the following day, Mon-day to Friday.

On Sundays, Hawkair will � y out of Vancouver at 5 p.m. and depart from the Prince Rupert airport at 7:30 p.m.

Jocelyn Lebell, di-

rector of corporate ser-vices for Hawkair, said the change came about following feedback from passengers.

“We listened to feed-back from the commu-nity that the lack of fre-quency of Fridays and Sundays made it dif� cult for them to travel with us,” she said.

“We took a look at our schedule and found a way to increase service to meet the needs of our guests looking to travel to Prince Rupert or Van-couver for the weekend.”

The early morning � ights, which were intro-duced in part to meet the demands of business pas-sengers, could be making a return next year.

“We will analyze the market performance in the New Year and plan to increase capacity as the demand forecast in-dicates,” Jay Dilley, Hawkair president, said.

First Nations offered millions for pipeline constructionTERRACE - First Na-tions stand to earn mil-lions from having natu-ral gas pipelines cross over their traditional ter-ritories from northeast-ern gas fields to lique-fied natural gas (LNG) plants on the coast.

So far the province is offering $10 million per year for each of four nat-ural gas pipeline routes now being planned to be divided up among appli-cable First Nations once those pipelines are in operation.

It’s also offering signing bonuses and pipeline construction milestone payments to those same First Na-tions.

Speaking last week, provincial natural gas development minister Rich Coleman said the provincial money is in-tended as one way for First Nations to benefit from what could be a significant industrial base for decades.

“The First Nations side is coming along very well,” said Cole-man of the provincial monetary package be-ing offered as part of the province’s overall LNG

strategy.The Nisga’a Na-

tion, using its 2000 land claims agreement with the federal and provin-cial governments as a foundation, has already signed onto one route – Prince Rupert Gas Transmission owned by TransCanada Pipe-lines, a 900 km 48-inch pipeline to feed Pacific-Northwest LNG, a fa-cility Malyasian-owned Petronas wants to build on Lelu Island near Prince Rupert.

The Nisga’a are to receive $1.014 million right away and $5.07 million divided into two equal instalments – one when construction of the pipeline has begun and the second when the first gas starts to flow.

These payments are in addition to a sepa-rate benefits agreement the Nisga’a Nation has signed with TransCan-ada and separate to any tax revenues the Nisga’a would receive from the pipeline as it crosses through Nisga’a Lands.

Provincial informa-tion indicates the same basic package of a sign-ing bonus and construc-

tion milestone payments as accepted by the Nisga’a is being offered to each and every First Nation along the four pipeline routes now be-ing planned.

Coleman did stress that other than the sign-ing bonuses being of-fered, no money will be paid out until the prov-ince starts receiving taxation revenue from LNG developments.

“What these are are back-end loaded agree-ments,” said Coleman. “As the revenue comes in, that’s what we’ll then share.”

At last count, there are more than 20 First Nations, for example, who have traditional ter-ritory along the Prince Rupert Gas Transmis-sion route.

Citing confidential-ity of ongoing negotia-tions with First Nations, provincial government officials would not re-lease how much money each of the First Nations would receive for con-struction payments.

But if the Nisga’a are to receive $6 mil-lion for the 83 kilome-tres of the 900 kilometre

pipeline which would pass through their core lands, the overall dollar amount would be sub-stantial.

The other three pipe-line projects to which payments would apply

to northern First Na-tions are the Westcoast Connector corridor of two 48-inch pipelines Spectra Energy wants to build to feed a BG Group LNG plant called Prince Rupert LNG on Ridley

Island, the CoastalGas Link pipeline for the Canada LNG project at Kitimat and the Pacific Trail Pipeline project for another LNG plant at Kitimat called Kiti-mat LNG.

First Nations who wish to receive a sign-ing bonus must sign a benefits agreement by June 30, 2015 or risk losing their eligibility, says the provincial in-formation.

Prince Rupert athletes headline hot streaks off home turfBy Kevin CampbellTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - With Thompson Rivers’ (TRU) � rst foray into the CIS swimming are-na, Sarah McChesney earned the school a more than respectable show-ing at the recent Canada West swim champion-ships in Lethbridge, Al-berta.

The � rst-year Wolf-pack student swam a personal best in the 400 metre freestyle with a 4:46.14 and ended up in 14th.

In the 100 me-tre freestyle consola-tion � nal, the freshman took � fth with a time of 1:00.15.

With the two swims, McChesney helped TRU to an eighth-overall placing in the Canada West women’s competi-tion.

Meanwhile, Frank Slubowski’s Western Michigan University Broncos compiled an 8-2 win over defending NCAA national cham-pion Union on Saturday to take the � fth annual Shillelagh Tournament, hosted by Notre Dame. The Broncos also de-feated Ohio State 6-2

in the � rst game of the tournament to earn the right to face Union in the � nal.

While the Rupertite Slubowski did not him-self play – the Broncos opted for their other net-minding choice, Lukas Hafner – his Broncos have witnessed a turn-around as of late. With those two tournament

wins, the Broncos broke a two-game winless streak where they lost to Miami 1-0 and 5-2 en-tering the tourney.

Slubowski is 1-3-0 (W-L-OTL) with a 3.29 GAA and .878 SV% in four games with the Broncos this year.

In the Kootenay In-ternational Junior Hock-ey League (KIJHL),

Braydon Horcoff is rid-ing a two-game point streak with the Beaver Valley Nitehawks af-ter assisting on a goal against Creston Val-ley and scoring versus the Grand Forks Border Bruins. Horcoff has al-ready surpassed his pre-vious season-high to-tal of 15 points with 17 in just 27 games played this year, including � ve goals.

Devin Oakes has re-

corded six points in 27 games with his Merritt Centennials in the Brit-ish Columbia Hockey League (BCHL) while Tyler Ostrom has the same number in 28 games with Osoyoos of the KIJHL.

Brady Ward also has six points under his belt with the KIJHL’s 100 Mile House Wranglers,

including three goals.In badminton action,

top-seeded Adrian Liu and his men’s doubles partner Derrick Ng fell in the quarter-� nals of the 2014 Yonex Welsh International to Eng-land’s Matt Nottingham and Harvey Towler 22-0, 21-15 and the English duo would go on to win the tourney title on Sat-

urday.That wasn’t the � rst

time Liu had seen Not-tingham and Towler. Just over a week before the Welsh Internation-al, Liu and Ng partici-pated in the 2014 Scot-tish Open in Glasgow where the pair would fall to the same Englishmen 23-21, 22-0, again in the quarter-� nals.

In Loving Memory of

Victoria RobertsSeptember 6th, 1932 – November 19th, 2014Funeral Service held: November 23, 2014

Honorary Pallbearers:Dorothy Horner, Verna Inkster, Lori Marion, Abby Scott Predeceased by:Mother: Doreen Ellen Roberts, Grandmother: Esther Roberts, Grandfather: Joseph Roberts, Husband: James W. Bolton, Son: Gary Donald Bolton, Son: Frank Robert Bolton (Bobby), Son: Harold James Bolton, Son: W. Clifford Bolton, Daughter: Irene Emily Collins, Brother: Donald Joseph Roberts, Brother: Gordon James Roberts Survived by: Sisters: Delores Russ, Laura Grandison Children: Cynthia Bohn (David), Wayne Bolton, Donald T. Roberts (thought of him as her son) (Arlene), Steven W. Roberts (thought of him as her son), Greg Vevers (thought of him as her son), Mildred Roberts, Laura Miller, Shirley Bolan (William), Bill Bolton (Shirley), Alex Bolton (Annette) Grandchildren: James Bohn (Yvonne), Heather Bohn Great Grandchildren: Damian Bohn, Avery Bohn Plus many numerous cousins, nieces, nephews, grand children & great grand children Victoria Vera Roberts was born to Doreen Roberts in Port Essington on September 6, 1932. She was raised by her grandparents Esther (nee Seymour) and Joseph Roberts. After her grandmother passed away she grew up fast and was called a Jack of All Trades, she wasn’t afraid of hard work. She worked many different jobs to stay off welfare. George Brown and another fisher woman were bidding against each other for her services of net mending, and George won with paying $5 an hour which was a lot back then. She worked at the school rolling 45 gallon drums of oil up a hill, at the bar in Port Essington “slinging beer” as she said and as a post mistress in Haysport. Before looking for work in Terrace, she use to work on a commercial fishing boat with her husband. In Terrace she worked at a chicken farm, potato farm, continued net mending and did beading, selling First Nations jewellery. She started at the House of Sim-oi-Ghets in 1974 and worked there till forced retirement in 2010 due to medical issues.

She made sure she could always provide for her young children and family after h e r husband passed away in 1974. We were fortunate to have Dr. Iyayi and

hospital staff at Mills Memorial Hospital provide such dedicated care to her over the past 4 year, especially the last 7 months.

Victoria will always be remembered for her community involve-ment, for hosting dinners up to 600 people, as long as she had

her cooks; Lori and Verna. She would also organize communi-ty fundraisers for the children’s Christmas and Halloween

parties in Kitsumkalum. She was a lot of things to a lot of people, she always made sure her family was fed and made sure her pets would continue to have a roof over their head after she passed. She will forever be in our hearts and deeply missed.

Kitimat Marlins take on Prince George invitational ContributedTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

KITIMAT - The Kitimat Marlins swim club had 21 swimmers at-tend the Prince George invitational swim meet over the November 22 weekend.

There were over 200 swimmers from teams in Prince George, Wil-liams lake, Quesnel, Chetwyn, Fort Saint John, Smithers and Terrace.

The Marlins had some great swims with many personal best times. A whopping seven marlins took home medals.

Zachary Dumas (15) quali-� ed for his � rst national level swim meet, Western Canadian Nationals, by reaching the 16 and under time standard for it in the 200 Meter but-ter� y. He is now welcome to attend Western Nationals in Edmonton in February. Dumas took the gold

medal in overall points for the 14-15 boys category at the meet.

Kleanza Cathers (15) broke the Points North team’s (Northwest B.C.) record in the 15 and over girls 800 meter freestyle. Her time of 9:31 for the event shaved one sec-ond off the old mark set by former UBC alumni and B.C. record hold-er Stephanie Nichols from Prince Rupert in 2001. Cathers made her third Western National qualifying standard in the event and her fourth standard in the 200 meter freestyle on her way to a silver medal in the 14-15 girls division.

Hayden Dobbin (15) reached his � rst two AA provincial quali-fying times in the 200 meter back-stroke and 1500 meter freestyle. Dobbin is now welcome to attend the AA Provincial championships in Chilliwack this February.

Dobbin took the silver medal

for overall points in the 14-15 boys division.

In the 10 and under division there were no medals given for overall points but instead for two of the events, 200 meter freestyle and 200 meter individual medley.

Olivia Pearson (10) took the gold medal in the 200 freestyle and silver medal in the 200 IM,

Adrianna Florit (10) took the silver medal in the 200 meter free-style. Ethan Velho (13) took the gold medal in the 12-13 boys for overall points.

Brander Pacheco (16) took the bronze medal in the 16 and over boys division for overall points.

Four swimmers accomplished the tough task of swimming person-al best times in all eight of their rac-es. They were Kevin Bae, Kemper Weightman, Hayden Dobbin and Marianne Trembley.

The PRMS Storm celebrate their zones victory.

Rupert takes two zone titlesBy Kevin CampbellTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - Winning three games out of four isn’t bad in its own right, but taking the title from the � rst-ranked school in your re-gion?

Now that’s just sweet.So accomplished the Grade

8 boys Prince Rupert Middle School’s (PRMS) Storm volley-ball team in late November, with a two-game sweep of Bulkley Valley Christian School (BVCS) to claim the 2014 zones championship for the area school.

“It was back and forth for the � rst little bit against BVCS and then PRMS just ended up winning,” said sponsor teacher Denise Wilson.

With Liam McChesney taking home Most Valuable Player (MVP) honours and Eric Lees grabbing an all-star nod, the Storm conquered schools around the region including teams from Terrace and Smithers on their way to the championship.

The win came on the heels of the Charles Hays (CHSS) junior girls Rainmaker volleyball squad taking the ‘B’ zone champion-ship in mid-November when they downed Hazelton for the title.

Coached by Nancy Le and Jade Rowse, the Charles Hays ju-nior girls’ volleyball Rainmak-ers learned a lot from the two, and CHSS teacher Danielle Dueck mentioned that the team wouldn’t have gotten far without the guid-ance of Le and Rowse.

“They did a fabulous job pre-paring the girls for zones,” said Dueck in an email. “It was awe-some that the girls got two coaches because it meant they had twice the support and feedback.”

The Rainmakers beat Hazelton

in three games straight in their best-of-� ve contest to take the North-west 2014 “B” title in November.

“Another cool thing that the junior girls commented on when we were heading back from Ha-zelton was that these two were the ‘real’ MVPs of the season. It was a

great thing to hear from [them] be-cause they were so appreciative of all the work Nancy and Jade put in to make the team like family and to work as a unit rather than just a ran-dom group,” said Dueck.

With the volleyball, boys’ soc-cer and rugby sevens season over,

the Northwest high school sports scene will now turn to basketball, wrestling, curling and skiing for the winter semester.

The junior and senior boys and girls’ basketball squads have al-ready been practicing, gearing up for the 2014-15 season.

Torch in Terrace tomorrowTERRACE - Terrace will, quite literally, be illuminated this Sat-urday when the 2015 Cana-da Winter Games Torch Relay comes to town.

That’s because the day-long event will � nish with a � reworks � nale in George Little Park, be-ginning at 8 p.m. following the Festival of Lights, that starts at 6 p.m.

The day begins at Kit-sumkalum at 2 p.m. for the re-lay through town, going by the Sportsplex and up and down Lakelse/Lazelle before ending at the park, where there will be speeches.

Live entertainment, featur-ing the � ttingly-named band Bright City Heights will also be on hand at the park.

Olympian Caleb Brousseau will be speaking on behalf of the torchbearers at the ceremony.

Other northwest torchbear-ers relaying in Terrace are as follows: Shirley Belisle, Anne Berrisford, Seamus Damstrom, Joe Ellis, Josh Eli Grant, Cor-mac Hikisch, Travis Hutchings, Nick Kollias, Jennifer Kuehne, Trevor Mack, Dominque Melan-son, Yvonne Moen, Terry Mon-ture, Helen Nikal, Jasper Nolos, Harry Nyce Sr., Elizabeth (Izzie) Patrick, Kimberly Patten, and Luke Strimbold.

It’s all part of the torch’s journey thousands of kilome-ters across northern B.C. leading up to the 2015 Games Opening Ceremonies on February 13 in Prince George.
