Experts used to probe college threatsBy Margaret SpeirsTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

TERRACE - Terrace RCMP called a special police unit to assess the risk after Northwest Community College (NWCC) received two more threats after a bomb threat in October.

The E Division Behavioural Analysis Unit out of Surrey was contacted to assist the Terrace General Investigation Unit.

The behavioural unit is made up of specially trained experts, who evaluate behaviour similar to a pro� ler, who give an opin-ion on whether one or more peo-ple are making threats, their next move, and the level of risk of the threat, said Cpl. Mike Dame, of-� cer in charge of the Crime Re-

duction Unit and General Investi-gation Section of Terrace RCMP.

“What they do is give an as-sessment, an opinion...a very ed-ucated opinion,” said Dame.

Police will then use that to determine whether, for example, the college should be evacuated, he said.

The second and third threats received Nov. 22 and 26 were not as severe, so the college wasn’t evacuated like it was after a bomb threat Oct. 2, says Phil Saunders, director communications and PR at NWCC.

“We have an extra security guard that’s going to be working in the evening,” said Saunders of the extra security measures the college took. “We are comfort-able and the RCMP are comfort-

able with our assessment of that risk.” The college has, however, posted warning notices through-out its Terrace campus.

Terrace RCMP media rela-tions and community policing of� cer Const. Angela Rabut said the safety risk was less than the bomb threat.

“The Behavioral Analysis Unit and the Terrace GIS Unit analyzed the threats and deter-mined the risk to be low at this time,” she said. “The most effec-tive security is the entire college students and faculty being vigi-lant and keeping an eye out for anything suspicious.

“We are working with the college to keep everyone in-formed as to what is going on and to report anything suspicious.”

An emergency protocol was in the process of being set up at the college and after the bomb threat Oct. 2, the process was put in place, said Saunders.

The subsequent threats have been different kinds of threats but Saunders couldn’t give many de-tails.

Whoever made the bomb threat hasn’t been caught and there is nothing to show that the person is familiar with the col-lege, he said. On Oct. 2, someone emailed a bomb threat to North-west Community College, which led to the college being evacuat-ed for the day.

A bomb snif� ng dog was called in and searched the build-ings and residences but didn’t � nd anything.

Educate yourself, your family and your friends about HIV. Visit HIV101.ca today.

The only way to know you are not positive is by getting tested. Request an HIV test today.

Please share your new knowledge about HIV with others, and please encourage everyone to get an HIV test.

HIV is a real concern within our communities. You can contract HIV primarily through unprotected sex and by sharing needles. HIV can live in your body for years without you knowing and all the while you can be passing it to others. At least 25 per cent of people who are HIV+ do not know and these 25 per cent are estimated to be responsible for 75 per cent of new infections. Northern Health, in collaboration with its community partners, is working with the Province of BC to prevent the spread of HIV by expanding HIV testing, treatment, and support services to British Columbians.

Kitimat council decides tosave the Duck Creek BridgeBy Cameron OrrTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

KITIMAT - After coun-cillors met to discuss the issue at a committee of the whole meeting an arrangement has been worked out to see a new bridge installed.

According to the District of Kitimat, Rio Tinto Alcan took the lead to work with com-panies and organiza-tions and have compiled a proposal.

That proposal sees Apache Canada, the company behind the proposed Kitimat LNG terminal and the Pacif-ic Trails Pipeline, of-fering to pay for the new bridge at a cost of $40,000.

That leaves $60,000 left required to actually install the bridge and re-move the old one.

Five businesses are reportedly being ap-proached to share the � nancial burden but a list was not available. The District of Kitimat approved a motion at their Nov. 19 meeting to commit up to $12,000 to the project for the pur-

pose of access to recre-ational areas.

Acting mayor Corinne Scott said at the meeting that if more businesses end up being included, the District’s share of the cost would go down.

Council was initial-ly told a Nov. 1 deadline would be the time that decision would have to be made for the bridge but that date has contin-ually shifted, but coun-cillors were told on Nov. 19 that a decision on the

bridge would have to be made that week to have the project proceed.

Councillor Phil Ger-muth said that he sup-ports this motion and that while it is a bridge on private property, giv-en that it services rec-reational facilities on Clague Mountain — namely the snowmobile and hiker club’s new cabin — he would sup-port donating the money.

Rob Gof� net added that he sees it as a good sign that businesses have

come together in gener-osity to see the bridge replaced.

Kitimat council meets every second Monday evening.

Its sessions are also televised so for those who cannot get out eas-ily, watching council on television is often the next best thing.

On the Monday nights when Kitimat council meetings, Ter-race city council has its sessions.

Rupert council, school board want lightto ensure the safety of all pedestriansBy Martina PerryThe NorTherN coNNecTor

PRINCE RUPERT - The City of Prince Ru-pert and the Prince Ru-pert School District have requested that the Min-istry of Transportation install a traffic light at the crossing on McBride Street and 9th Avenue to ensure young Prince Ru-pert pedestrians are safe.

City councillors and members of the board of education met recently

to discuss some of the shared issues between the two groups includ-ing a traffic light on Mc-Bride, which is part of the Yellowhead High-way.

The City has sent a request to the Ministry of Transportation to con-sider putting in a light, following the increase in students crossing the highway with the amal-gamation of the two high schools last year that left the lone high school on

the east side and created a middle school for stu-dents from grade six to grade eight on the west side at the former PRSS site.

“Some sort of de-fined signal that would create more awareness [would be appropriate],” Mayor Jack Mussallem said.

“We have a fair amount of students that go back and forth across there to the middle school and we have lots

of groups from [other schools] crossing there to go to the civic cen-tre for different events,” Lynn Hauptman, Super-intendent for S.D. 52, said.

Hauptman also said the light would be help-ful for traffic when the area is congested before and after school.

“It would be help-ful not only for the peo-ple walking to get safely across the road, but also for the people driving

on 9th to get onto Mc-Bride,” said Hauptman.

The City is now waiting to hear back from the Ministry of Transportation on the matter. Whether a full traffic light, or pedes-trian controlled crossing light is installed will be up to the provincial gov-ernment as it is on the highway.

Nechako farmers looking to Prince Rupert for hay exportsBy Cameron GinnTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

VANDERHOOF - Markets in Asia and the Far East are offering local farmers high prices for hay, also known as alfalfa.

The domestic price of hay has long been stagnant, largely due to oversupply. But in highly populat-ed, resource-scarce nations abroad, like China, the United Arab Emir-ates and Vietnam, hay is up to � ve times more valuable, according to Mel Gulbranson, a local producer of hay with more than 35 years of farming experience.

Hoping to capitalize on the global roundup of animal forage, Gulbranson is building a plant west of Vanderhoof that processes hay for export to countries in Asia and the Middle East.

Using a special baling machine, Gulbranson plans to compress hay into manageable sizes that can be loaded onto containers, transport-ed to the port of Prince Rupert and

shipped overseas.“We’ve been looking into this

for years,” he said.“We just needed to � nd a better

market that would bring us farm-ers a decent return, and we � nally found it. That was the hold up.”

Sprawling with fertile agricul-tural land and less than nine hours away from the international ship-ping ports of Prince Rupert, the Nechako area is one of the most ideal logistical locations to build such a plant, as Robert Boelens, a provincial spokesman for the MOA, explained in an email.

“As Canada’s Paci� c Gateway, B.C. is the closest connection Asian markets have to North America, and our ports deliver hundreds of mil-lions of dollars worth of B.C. food products each year to customers in China and Japan...The opportuni-ties for growth are huge,” he said.

“The new factories re� ect the private sector’s investment and be-lief their business model will work. China offers the potential of anoth-

er large market for B.C. alfalfa pro-ducers.”

Jud Wu, a local businessman, is also jumping on the forage band-wagon.

Using a compression machine and shipping containers, Wu is starting an operation east of Vander-hoof that processes only high-quali-ty alfalfa for export to China.

“When I was in Vanderhoof a few weeks ago, I met Mr. Jud Wu and learned of the work being done to compress and export alfal-fa,” said B.C. Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick.

“I am very optimistic that the combination of the high quality product and the proximity to the Chinese market will lead to success, and increased B.C. alfalfa exports to China.”

The high-quality alfalfa, which offers between 10 and 20 per cent more protein than regular hay, will be used as forage for some of Chi-na’s 40 million dairy cows, a num-ber that is increasing annually, said

Wu.“They can not make enough

feed for their cows,” he said.With a population of more

than 1.34 billion people, China, like many other densely-populated Asian nations, lacks the land and water needed to produce enough high-protein feed for its dairy cows.

“They need more from other parts of the world,” he said.

“And we are the closest place to Asia that can grow good alfalfa.”

Wu plans to send about 40,000

tons of alfalfa to Chinese ports an-nually, but it could take some time before BC farmers start producing the quantity and grade of hay that Wu desires.

Right now, there is a shortage of high-quality alfalfa in the area, said Richard Martens, a seasoned farmer who was born and raised in the re-gion.

“The quality we have around here isn’t dairy quality, so it’s some-thing we have to work towards pro-ducing,” he said.

KITIMAT - The 2012 Christmas Hamper Appeal is well under way and all the “elves” are busy ordering and organizing.

The Sharing Tree is set up at Envision Financial Credit Union and waiting for gifts and non-perish-able food items to be dropped off.

They are also accepting and receipting cash donations. If it is more convenient, Thomas Cook Wings Travel will also accept cheques made out to the Food Bank Christmas Hamper Appeal and will receipt donations of $10 and over.

Donations are trickling in. It should be men-tioned that over the summer numerous boxes of gifts and non-perishable food items were brought to the Food Bank from Dairy Queen. For several years for-mer manager Julie Mavros had been successfully en-couraging their customers to donate to the Hamper Appeal on a year-round basis and the goodies were passed on to us by the owner prior to their starting renovations. Thank you to all the DQ customers who have generously supported our Appeal over the years.

Over the past couple of weeks we have received five $20 gift certifications from the Kitimat Guides, Brownies and Sparkes and their leaders.

Other donations include S. Krahn, $100; Anon-ymous, $300; Gyro Club of Kitimat, $400; T. Newton/L Gibson, $250; Anonymous, $25; R&S Reschke, $30 and D&D Kelly, $100 for a total of $1,205.

We are off to a great start. Last year the citizens, community organizations, churches and school chil-dren as well as large and small businesses of Kitimat, Kitamaat Village and Terrace generously donated a

grand total of $46,992.91 plus gifts and non-perish-able food.

A reminder to those applying for hampers that the deadline for receiving completed request forms is quickly drawing near. All application forms must be received by today and may be picked up at the So-cial Service Office and Salvation Army Thrift Store during their regular hours or at the Food Bank, low-er City Centre Mall, Tuesday and Thursday between 1:00-3:00 p.m.

Completed forms are to be dropped off at the Salvation Army Thrift Store or the Food Bank (may be dropped through the mail slot if closed.)

This year hampers will be delivered on Saturday, December 15, beginning at 10:00 a.m. until done. A responsible teen or adult must be at home to sign for the hamper or it will not be left and will be returned to the Food Bank — there is only one delivery.

Thank you to those who have already donat-ed and we know how generous people are when it comes to giving in Kitimat. Thank you to the media for their support - we could not get the word out if it were not for you.”

Terrace chambercriticized for greenaward sponsorshipBy Staff WriterThe NorTherN coNNecTor

TERRACE - The Terrace and District Chamber of Commerce is going to talk to Enbridge about whether it wishes to repeat as a sponsor of a chamber award which recognizes “green” prac-tices.

The company’s sponsorship this year, part of the chamber’s overall Business Excellence awards, drew fire when all three nominees declined, say-ing it was wrong for a company such as Enbridge to sponsor such an award.

SkeenaWild Conservation Trust, one of the three, was chosen, however, to be the winner and it then declined the award. It and other business excel-lence award winners were announced at a chamber banquet Nov. 24.

Chamber executive director Carol Fielding said the practice of contacting sponsors to determine their plans for the next year is common.

“Sometimes companies tell us what their plans are right away,” she said. “And whenever we have compa-nies interested [in a sponsorship], we try to see how we can fit them in.”

SkeenaWild, a conservation group aimed at the survival and growth of wild salmon populations, is one of the regional groups taking a lead role in opposing Enbridge’s plan to pump crude oil from Alberta to a marine ter-minal at Kitimat through the Northern Gateways pipeline.

“It’s very clear that Enbridge is us-ing sponsorship of community events as a public relations tool to help gain social licence for its project,” said SkeenaWild’s Julia Hill when it turned down the award. “We are not interest-ed in being a pawn in their PR game.”

The other two nominees were local clothier Urban Colour and the Lakelse Watershed Society, which works to in-crease and protect fish populations and habitat in the Lakelse Lake area.

Hill did say the chamber’s annual

business excellence wards are impor-tant because the community is filled with businesses, organizations and people that deserve recognition for a job well done.

“We really encourage the chamber to find someone to sponsor the green award that’s more in line with our community values,” said Hill.

In a letter sent to the chamber, Hill said a local business had offered to be a sponsor this year or next year.

Fielding said other local business-es have since suggested they might sponsor the green award.

This is the second year Enbridge has sponsored the award. Last year the Terrace Beautification Society was named the winner.

“Last year there was not a hint of a controversy,” said Fielding. “I really think this year it’s because of the win-ner. It’s because of who is involved.”

The Green award itself is three years old. The first year it was offered was in 2010 with Northwest Commu-nity College as the sponsor and the K’san community greenhouse pro-gram was the winner.

In a statement, Enbridge said it was is a proud member and supporter of the Terrace and District Chamber of Commerce.

“The chamber’s annual Business Excellence Awards ceremony, which includes a Green Award, is part of our support because we believe it is impor-tant to recognize local business efforts and contributions to a healthy environ-ment.”

“However, we do not participate in the nomination or selection process of this award and we respect any local business owner’s personal decision to accept his or her own nomination,” the statement continued.

Speaking afterward, Enbridge of-ficial Ivan Giesbrecht said it was too early to say what the company will do next year regarding the business excel-lence awards.

Notes from Prince Rupert city councilBy Martina PerryTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - Below are some additional items of note from the Nov. 26 meeting of Prince Rupert city coun-cil.

Doug Kerr � eld named favoured location for dog park

Council unanimously decided to designate Doug Kerr � eld as a fa-voured site for a dog park in the com-munity and to refer the cost of turn-ing it into one to the 2013 budget. Doug Kerr � eld was selected because it would be the least expensive op-tion for the city, and many members of the community are already using it as a place to take their dogs. The city won’t be designating it as a dog park of� cially until it’s in a state where the city isn’t in jeopardy of liability issues.

New chiller has arrived

The new ice chiller has arrived and will be installed at the end of the sea-son to avoid losing anymore ice time. The patch job on the current chiller continues to hold and will be moni-tored regularly. If the patch job fails, the city will install the new chiller right away.

November is now Adoption Awareness Month in Prince Rupert

The city has declared Novem-ber as Adoption Awareness Month in Prince Rupert. The Ministry of Chil-dren and Family Development sent a letter to council requesting to consid-ering the proclamation, so the commu-nity can help raise awareness on the subject. November has already been proclaimed as Adoption Awareness Month in British Columbia.

Terrace council orders derelict buildings torn downBy Lauren BennTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

TERACE - Terrace city council has giv-en owners of three der-elict buildings on Lit-tle Ave. 60 days to tear them down and clean up the yards or the city will do it for them and send them the bill for the work. Two of the prop-erties contain Second World War-era military housing and the third was once a hospital.

The structures at 4520 Little Ave. owned by Sandra and Wayne Kirby, 4440 Little Ave. by Lloyd Wittkowski and 4450 Little Ave. by the estate of Bertha Vo-gel have been the subject of complaints and warn-ings by public of� cials of safety, health and nui-sance hazards for years.

The decisions reached by council Nov. 26 followed months of closed door sessions about what action to take. City of� cials pre-pared nearly 100 pages of information and pho-tos for council to consid-er in reaching the three decisions.

Little Ave., a grav-eled section of road barely one lane wide

and full of potholes, is located just east of the arena and aquatic cen-tre and resembles more of a back lane than a city street. In the case of the Wittkowski proper-ty, city records indicate complaints going back to 1990. He didn’t ac-quire the property until the mid 2000s.

“(There’s) a long history of issues on this property,” noted city of-� cial David Block.

“The ground has pushed in a wall of the crawl space,” said an excerpt of one report on the structure. “Some of the strong smell in there is a result of (cats) pres-ence and indicates an unsanitary situation.”

No plumbing or heating is available in the building, electricity only services one light, stairs and landings are in poor and dangerous con-dition and the founda-tion has been affected by rot, said the report.

“If � re were to spread, it would spread rapidly and potential-ly be life endangering,” said Block to council. “Reconstruction would not make viable sense.”

After a round of letters demanding ac-

tion from the city late this summer, Wittkows-ki indicated he would tear down at least part of the building by now. It still stands. The next property discussed was 4450 Little Ave., owned by Bertha Vogel who is now deceased with George Vogel as the manager and occupier of her estate.

The complaint histo-ry on this property dates back to 1991 with city records showing cleanli-ness and building safety issues. A real estate for sale sign has now been placed on the building.

A most recent re-view of the property showed substantial � re hazards, and after issu-ing a letter to Vogel this summer demanding that he clean up the proper-ty and yard, some of the work promised did not materialize.

For instance, Vogel said he would clean up the yard and cut grass by Sept. 8, remove ply-wood and replace glass and windows by Sept. 15, complete house scraping and paint prep-aration by Sept. 22 and completion of painting of home by Sept. 29.

Severe structural is-

sues were also recently noted by building in-spectors.

The last property re-viewed by council was 4520 Little Ave., which was Terrace’s � rst hospi-tal, and is now owned by Mike and Sandra Kirby.

Complaints about this property date back to 1996 when a � re chief reported that “if not al-ready, this building will pose a serious life safety concern.”

Reports from a more recent site inspection show the building is in a state of disrepair like the others. “There are signs of structural issues evi-dent … the interior of the building is very beat up … plumbing � xtures have been removed … ceilings are damaged and in some places re-moved … paint is peel-ing … due to humidity and lack of heat mold is present,” said a city re-port.

Fire hazard current-ly pose risk to life and neighbouring properties.

After a letter from the city earlier this year demanding action be taken, Wayne Kirby not-ed he intends to sell the property and secure the building or tear it down.

But efforts to clean up the site have been slow moving, said Block, noting a demo-lition permit was taken out for an eastern por-tion of the building in February.

While a substantial amount of the building has be torn down, some of it still stands, and de-molition permits expire after 90 days, he ex-plained. He added that council had more op-tions for remedial ac-tion to be taken for this property, including that the city order the build-ing be maintained and

secured or that staff con-tinue to seek voluntary compliance from the owners.

Councillor Bruce Bidgood added that as the owners had already started to demolish a portion of the build-ing, he thinks it best the city order the rest to be boarded and secured.

But councillor Marylin Davies pointed out owners had passed the 90-day mark, which means plenty of time for that to complete has passed. “This implies value and future use,” said councillor Brian

Downie.“I just don’t see the

value in going through this over and over,” add-ed councilor James Cor-deiro. “These properties have been derelict for years.” In the end, coun-cil chose to treat all three buildings equally by or-dering demolition with-in sixty days along with other property mainte-nance orders.

Councillor Stacey Tyers left for two out of three votes due to con-� ict of interest.Each owner can appeal the order within 14 days of notice.

PRINCE RUPERT - Just under 20 Prince Rupert Harley Riders arrived all at once in the parking lot of the Salva-tion Army on the eve-ning of Nov. 27.

Riders disembarked to officially donate funds and toys collected for the 31st annual Toy Run held in October. This year 281 toys were collected, and $10,200 was raised for the Sal-vation Army Christ-mas Hamper program, which surpassed last year’s totals of 250 toys and $10,000.

“[The Harley Rid-ers] are like one big happy family,” said Norm Sklapsky, who has organized the event for four years, taking

over after long time event organizer and club president Mark Desautels passed away.

“We like to go out and do our thing while raising money and col-lecting toys for the kids. That’s what it’s all about.”

The Toy Run accu-mulates funds through the poker run, and dance afterward, sell-ing t-shirts, with Don-na Wing spearhead-ing sales this year, and rounding up donations from local businesses and people. Toys are collected as part of the admission to the annual dances.

Captain Sheils is forecasting 850 fami-lies, or 2,700 people, will use the Salva-tion Army’s Christmas Hamper program this

year.“When you consid-

er the size of our town, 2,700 people is a lot,” he said.

So far the event has raised approximate-

ly $300,000 and more than 5,000 toys.

“Without help [from the riders] there’s no way we could put Christmas together for that many people. I

can’t say how much I appreciate everything they do year after year,” Captain Sheils said.

The Northern Connector Friday, December 7, 2012 www.bclocalnews.com /bc_north A13

Last week, in this space, I talked about why we chose Kitimat as the site for Gateway’s marine terminal. This week, I’d like to discuss the various steps we’ve taken to prevent an incident on water, and the measures we’ve put in place to build a comprehensive marine safety plan for Gateway.

Safety starts with a tanker acceptance program that’s as stringent as any in existence — and includes an independent review of all tankers, weeks ahead of their scheduled arrival. Tankers mooring at the terminal will be double-hulled and no more than 20 years old, and will be required — by independent third parties, before they enter Gateway’s shipping channels — to show a sound maintenance and operational history. As they approach Kitimat, all vessels will be boarded and guided by B.C. Coast Pilots with expert knowledge of our coastal waters.

Simulations conducted in varying weather conditions have shown that the largest tankers can be safely navigated without the help of tugboats. Still, Gateway is adding a tug-escort system as an additional safety measure. The Douglas Channel is already one of the deepest and widest inland waterways on North America’s west coast, and Gateway’s tug-escort

system, according to risk assessment data, would reduce the already unlikely chance of a grounding incident by a further 80 to 90 per cent.

As another Gateway marine safety initiative, we’re introducing land-based radar to B.C.’s North Coast for the fi rst time. This radar system will be bolstered by extra navigational aides such as lights and channel markers. These enhancements aren’t just for Gateway — they are for all vessels on B.C.’s North Coast.

Groups who oppose this project use fear tactics. They’d have you believe an oil tanker spill is inevitable. It isn’t. But don’t take my word for it — visit our website and read for yourself about all the work that has gone into making Gateway’s marine operation one of the safest in the world. Then, decide for yourself what’s true.

When I look at your loving face,my heart just fi lls with pain.My arms will never hold you closenever feel your love again.Each day it gets no better,Your smiling face is gone,If I could talk to you once moreWhat words would I pass on?I loved you Darling Emma,I hope you knew how much;I have a hole within my soulThat misses you, your touch.I try so hard to carry onTo smile to act OK.But how can I just carry onWhen I miss you so each day?My life it changed so very muchBack on that fateful day,But “Life goes on” they tell me soFor others anyway.So here I sit sweet Emma,A part of me has gone.Until I hold you once againI know I’ll carry on.

MANSON, Allan DavidMay 29, 1954 – November 27, 2012

Family and friends are grateful to have been embraced by the life of Allan Manson who passed from us on November 27 at the age of 58. Always playing at his highest level, he took his competitive spirit to every challenge put before him, whether in business, sports and finally survival itself. Allan was born in Prince Rupert, British Columbia. Growing up he developed entrepreneurship and business acumen working in the family Jewellery and Hotel Resort businesses. Among other ventures he established Okanagan Seasons Resort in Kelowna. Allan was a strong athlete, beginning with rugby at Shawnigan Lake School. In later years he took up competitive tennis and golf where he met many of his life-long friends. Allan was a person with contagious energy, encouraging those around him to be the best that they could. He wanted others to win at life and helped many people along his journey. His final challenge was cancer which he faced with a deep energetic will to live a meaningful life, despite insurmountable odds. Hopeful to the end, he would not accept defeat. Predeceased by his father Elmer (Al) and his mother Mary (Bea) Manson. He will be dearly missed, forever loved and never forgotten by his loving companion Sue; sisters Vanny Palibroda and Valerie Blackstone (Jim), and all his loving family and friends. A private celebration of life was held in his honour. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to those who supported him: Lions Gate Hospital Foundation (Chemo Clinic), 231 East 15th St., North Vancouver, BC, V7L 2L7; Kelowna General Hospital Foundation 2268 Pandosy St., Kelowna BC; V1Y 1T2, BC Cancer Agency, 399 Royal Ave., Kelowna, BC V1Y 5L3.

SPORTSInsideRampage pick up a win against Ice DemonsBy Shaun Thomas THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - Per-haps it was the holiday spirit, but after participating in the Winterfest Parade and posing for photos with fans earlier in the day the Prince Rupert Rampage put on their stron-gest showing yet on Satur-day night as they downed the powerhouse Kitimat Ice De-mons 6-1.

The Rampage opened the scoring in the game ear-ly, as captain Jared Meers put one by Kitimat’s Tyson Cra-ven just 98 seconds into the game. Terry Whelan of the Demons responded less than two minutes later to tie things up at one, but the rest of the period and indeed the game would belong to Prince Ru-pert. With 10:15 to play in the � rst Justin Fontaine re-gained the lead for Prince Rupert and a shorthanded goal by Josh Kierce with just 1:05 left on the clock put the Rampage up 3-1 leading into the second period.

In the second Rampage goalie Keano Wilson held his ground through an early Kit-imat onslaught and just over halfway though the period

Kory Movold found the back of the net on the powerplay to make it 4-1 for Prince Ru-pert. That would be the only goal in the second, giving the fans at the Jim Ciccone Civic Centre plenty to cheer about heading into the � nal 20 min-utes of play.

In the third the Rampage continued to keep up the pressure on the western-di-vision leading Demons. With 11:05 to play Meers scored his second of the night with a wrist shot from in front just before he was hauled down by the Demon defensemen. That � fth goal would spell the end of the night for Kiti-mat’s Craven, who was re-placed between the pipes by Daniel Pellan. But not even Pellan could shut the door on Prince Rupert, as Kierce went low glove-side on the powerplay with 4:15 to go. When the � nal buzzer sound-ed the Rampage celebrated their � rst home win of the season in front of a raucous crowd and saluted their fans as they left the ice.

The win puts the Ram-page tied with the Houston Luckies at � ve points for the � nal playoff spot in the league, though there is still

a lot of hockey to play. The Smithers Steelheads remain undefeated so far this season and at 11-0 to lead the league

with 22 points, followed by the Ice Demons at 20 points and the Williams Lake Stam-peders at 17 points.

The Rampage will take to the ice again this Satur-day against division rivals the Terrace River Kings, who

were off last weekend but enjoy a four-point lead over Prince Rupert in the stand-ings.

SHAUN THOMAS / THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

Kitimat defencemen can only look back as the puck gets by netminder Daniel Pellan to make it 6-1 for the Prince Rupert Rampage.

Marlins bring out their best at Prince George meet By Contributed THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

KITIMAT - The Kitimat Mar-lins Swim Club were in Prince George recently for the Prince George Invitational swim meet.

With teams from Quesnel, Chetwynd, Williams Lake, Smithers, Terrace, Prince Ru-pert and B.C. power house — the 200 swimmer Prince George team — competition was � erce. The Marlins com-peted well though, and every swimmer achieved personal best times.

Two Marlins made break-throughs and achieved their � rst AA Provincial qualifying standard. This allows them to compete at the AA Provincial Championships in Surrey this February.

Madison Szmata (11) qual-i� ed in the 11 and under 50 meter freestyle as she took off a whopping two seconds in the sprint event and went under the standard by half a second.

Ben Anker (14) achieved his AA Provincial time in the 14-year-old boy 100 meter

backstroke with a three sec-ond drop from his old personal best time and going one sec-ond under the AA Provincial time standard.

Anker also had the biggest drop in time from his previ-ous best time for the Marlins,

a 12.5 second improvement in his 100 IM.

The Marlin swimmers An-ker and Brander Pacheco (14) also did the very tough task of achieving 100 per cent per-sonal best times in all eight of their races.

Terrace roller derby fundraiser a big success By Anna Killen THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

TERRACE - Terrace’s roller derby team, the North Coast Nightmares, hosted a gender-bending fundraiser at the Thorn-hill Community Centre last Saturday night —and raised enough money to cov-er the cost of home game as well as give nearly $1000 to charity.

“I would de� nitely consider the event a huge success,” said Nightmare Tarea “Dream Warrior” Roberge, of the event that featured an all-male beauty pageant, auction, dinner, and dance.

“In this one event we raised enough money for Terrace Roller Derby to be able to host a bout right here in Terrace and cover all of the costs related to a home game.”

Roller derby is a burgeoning sport here in the northwest, and because it’s still in the beginning stages, costs can be steep. In order to host games in Terrace, the team needs to cover travel costs for the away teams who come here, not to mention cov-er their own travel costs.

But while the team has been feeling the � nancial pressure, this hasn’t stopped them from pushing hard to make roller derby a sport to be reckoned with here in the northwest —and they’ve been using their know-how to help other northwest communities start teams to build up the

area league. Community support is crucial to the

Nightmare’s success, and successful events like these make all of the differ-ence, they say.

“We are so excited to have the pres-sure (of hosting a home game) lifted from us and move forward with our great plans for local roller derby,” said Roberge.

“We’d really like to thank the commu-nity and all the sponsors and volunteers,” she said.

Nine men participated in the beauty pageant, dressing in evening-wear, Christ-mas-wear and, of course, derby-wear.

Skeena MLA Robin Austin was one of the participants, as well as Jamie Ma-son and Trevor Lang from CFNR, Eric Lennert, Jonah Preston, Tom Middleton, who took � rst place, Kyle Ross, who took second, Sam Harling, who took third, and Tim Stephans, who came in fourth.

The pageant auction, where the men auctioned off prizes like dinner for four, an hour on the radio, shovelling snow, and an oil change raised $615 dollars. This, combined with $195 raised from the auctioning of two paintings by local art-ists Sarah Zimmerman and Chancey Hall, and tips made at the bar, means the group raised over $900 for the Salvation Army Christmas Hamper—because as a group who relies on the community for support, they understand the value of giving back.

of Our every intention isis ttoo mamakeke tthhe Norththerern n GaGatetewaway y PiPipepelilinene tthehe sstrtronngestst aand safest t ofof iitsts kkinininndd d d ininininin CCCCCanananadadadada.a. AAnd the people oBritish Columbia have told us that we must exceed safety standards if it is to cross this beautiful province. We’ve heard their concerns

and have continually incorporated their feedback into our plans. We have added $500 million in extra safety measures–like thicker pipe, more isolation valves, meticulous pipeline construction techniques, and plans for around the clock monitoring by real people,

in real time, with sophisticated technology.

We will have advanced monitoring and response systems...Constant, diligent monitoring is vital for safe pipeline operation. Northern

Gateway will be monitored on-site and via the control centre 24/7, in

real time to allow operators to rapidly respond to any incidents. As

well, extensive geotechnical investigation and route planning

has taken place and this, combined with sophisticated

monitoring techniques, will provide protection against

geotechnical and other natural hazards. Pump stations in

remote areas will be staffed around the

clock. Dual leak detection systems

will be installed and remotely

operated isolation valves will be used,

increasing their number in BC by 50%.

We will use thicker pipe...Northern Gateway pipe will have

an average thickness of 0.80 inches.

That’s 20% over and above current

Canadian safety standard requirements

for the Northern Gateway Project. The pipe

will be even thicker when it crosses major rivers and tributaries.

It will be welded with exacting precision and its integrity checked

using ultrasonic inspection and hydrostatic testing methods. And

to ensure safe operation, the frequency of high resolution, in-line

inspection surveys will be increased across the entire pipeline system

by a minimum of 50% over and above current practices.

We will practice and be prepared for incidents...Our goal is always zero spills. To help achieve that, the

pipeline will be monitored from the air and the ground and

routinely inspected inside and out to identify and address

any integrity issues. But that doesn’t mean we will not

prepare for an incident. We will adhere to world-leading

practices for oil spill response and recovery systems. Emergency response equipment

and training will be provided and constantly updated and upgraded. Training exercises

with our own operations personnel and local emergency providers will be conducted on a

regular basis. Can we guarantee that there will never be a signifi cant pipeline failure? Our

original pledge to build a safe pipeline combined with further enhancements made after

hearing the concerns of British Columbians puts us closer than any other pipeline system

in the world to providing that guarantee.

We will respect wildlife habitats and migration routes... To address concerns from the public that the construction of the pipeline will affect the

environment, we have pledged to build it in such a way that natural wildlife habitats,

migration routes and fi sh spawning sites will be respected. During the building phase,

disturbances will be kept to a minimum by having construction vehicles access most of

the pipeline using existing forestry roads. Instead of building all new bridge structures, it

will use existing watercourse crossings where possible. When construction is completed

on each section, soil will be returned and shrubs and grasses native to the region will be

planted. If any large trees are removed to make way for the pipeline, a new tree will be

planted in another location as part of Enbridge’s commitment to plant a tree for every

tree we remove to build our projects.

Northern Gateway will be one of the safest energy pipelines because it’s been designed by engineers, safety experts and the people of British Columbia.

It’s more than a pipeline. It’s a path to delivering energy safely.
