Small LNG plantseen for KitimatBy Cameron OrrTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

KITIMAT - The Douglas Channel Energy project, a � oating LNG plant for Kitimat, which � zzled over the last couple of years, has been reborn under the ownership of a consortium which includes Paci� c Northern Gas parent company AltaGas.

Now the consortium — which is of� cially called Al-taGas Idemitsu Joint Venture Limited Partnership (AI-JVLP) — says they have full ownership of the Douglas Channel LNG project and are aiming for a � nal invest-ment decision on its project by the fourth quarter this year, with a forecasted operational date of sometime in 2018.

The project is barge-based, where natural gas will be processed on the water, and delivered on the PNG line, which notably will directly bene� t individual consumers as it will lower the delivery cost for gas to homes.

The land needed for this proposal, District Lot 99, is along the west side of the channel, and the partners have already secured the site with a long-term lease with the Haisla.

AltaGas’s Director of Financing and Communica-tions Jess Nieukerk said this project’s direct bene� t to the community, or in fact all customers of Paci� c Northern Gas, is that by using up the volume capacity on the line, natural gas prices should drop due to a reduced delivery charge.

He said developing the project would require con-structing an 8km line of pipe from the existing line which would employ up to 50 people.

He said it’s too early to know what the long-term, op-erational employment numbers would be.

This project would export a project 550,000 tonnes a year of LNG, making it substantially smaller than other projects being considered.

Meanwhile the company is also seeking a new export licence, which the previous iteration of this project had but has since expired.

Nieukerk said they can either apply for a new one or could petition to have the original permit amended to in-clude the new partners.

This project could also potentially tie in to anoth-er AltaGas proposed project called Triton LNG, which would be built with the same model. The project had been eyeing locations in Kitimat and Prince Rupert but with Douglas Channel LNG potentially moving forward the site would allow for the simultaneous development of Triton, which would have a higher export volume as well.

The Japanese company Indemitsu, which is a partner with AltaGas in the Douglas Channel LNG consortium, is also a partner with AltaGas in the Aurora LNG project.

Wolves spotted prowling the streets of Prince RupertBy Martina PerryTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - Prince Rupert RCMP is-sued a warning regard-ing wolves within city boundaries last week.

Over the past month Prince Rupert RCMP have received 14 calls for service regarding wolf sightings within the urban areas of Prince Rupert.

“During this time of the year, typically we do get similar call volumes when it comes to wolf sightings,” said Const. Matt Ericson, spokes-person of the Prince Rupert RCMP, adding the numerous sight-ings have been scattered throughout the

“What happens is that the mountains start

to get quite a bit of snow and that forces deer down into the commu-nity ... of course with the deer being a food source, the wolves fol-low.”

Gareth Scrivner, a conservation officer in the North Coast zone, also said it’s been a typi-cal year in terms of the amount of people calling after seeing a wolf, not-ing reports usually stem from one or two domi-nant wolves in a pack.

“We generally see an increase in sightings re-ported to us around this time of year,” he said.

“Most people know that Kaien Island has wolves, like most places on the B.C. coast. Plac-es where wolves have been successful in get-ting food will more than

likely get another visit,” Scrivner said.

However, the Ter-race conservation office did receive a call back in December regarding a wolf that had picked up a small dog and dropped it, with Scrivner stating the dog was taken to the vet and is expected to recover. “Prince Rupert residents who choose to leave small pets outside, especially during the hours of darkness, may attract wolves and could risk the health of their pets,” he said.

Ericson said there are simple precautions community members can take to deter wolves from urban areas. This includes removing all potential food sourc-es from outdoor areas, thoroughly clean areas where game may have been quartered, not leav-ing small pets unattend-ed outdoors and super-vising young children when out playing or walking.

Prince Rupert RCMP remind people who encounter a wolf to remain calm and not run from the animal. Back away slowly and leave

room from the wolf to escape. Raise your voice and if the wolf ap-proaches or acts aggres-sively, wave your arms to make yourself ap-

pear as large as possible. Make noise and throw any available objects.

“Although wolves may seem intimidating in most circumstances

they are more afraid of you,” said Ericson.

The conservation of-fice encourages those who spot a wolf to con-tact 1-877-952-7277 so

they can monitor wolf activity and to phone the RCMP immediately if you observe a wolf be-having aggressively at 250-624-0700.

Gov’t scholarshipsare phased outVICTORIA - The pro-vincial government is phasing out its tradi-tional post secondary college and university scholarship awards to a new system to recognize its increasing emphasis on trades.

Each year more than 20,000 individual awards totatalling $15.6 million are now distrib-uted to qualifying indi-viduals based on aca-demic performance, excellence in non aca-demic fields and the completion of appren-ticeship courses.

The plan is for a new program which better

reflects individual ap-proaches to education and that is to look at awards also tailored to local needs and values and achievement be-yond grades and exam marks.

Auditions being held for Prince Rupert’s Got Talent showBy Martina PerryTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - The Lester Centre of the Arts is holding au-ditions for the 2015 Prince Ru-pert’s Got Talent fundraiser later this month.

Try-outs for the fourth annual Prince Rupert’s Got Talent per-formance will take place on Feb. 10 and 11 at the Lester Centre. Those who make it to the next

round will performance at the show on March 7.

“It is open to all talents ... This is basically Prince Ru-pert’s biggest talent contest,” explained Crystal Lorette, general manager of the Les-ter Centre of the Arts, adding those auditioning must be 25 years old and under and can-not have won a past Prince Rupert’s Got Talent showcase.

The past three events have con-

sisted of 15 to 20 contestants, with Lorette stating there were already 10 people signed up to

audition early last week. Those who make it past the

audition round will have the opportunity to win a top prize of $1,000, with the runner-up earning $500 and the third-place winner receiving $250.

A panel of judges with varying disciplines will deter-mine the winners of the con-test.

The show helps raise money for the Lester Centre of the Arts,

with this year’s proceeds going toward purchasing new stage cur-tains and lights.

Rupertites interested in try-ing out for the performance are encouraged to contact Crystal at 627-8888 or [email protected].

Prince Rupert’s Got Talent will take place on Saturday, March 7 at 7 p.m. Tickets can be pur-chased at the Lester Centre box office.

A night of the blues in KitimatSubmittedTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

KITIMAT - The Har-poonist and the Axe Murderer: you might wonder what the Kitimat Concert Association is bringing to you on Fri-day the 13th.

You might be for-given for thinking that the Vancouver based duo is some sort of concept group based on a hypo-thetical love story be-tween Captain Ahab and Lizzie Borden.

However you would be wrong. In reality, Shawn ‘The Harpoon-ist’ Hall, armed with an arsenal of harmonicas and Matthew ‘The Axe Murderer’ Roger with his road worn Telecaster kick out raw and primal blues.

The two met and bonded over music while recording a radio jingle. Their memora-

ble name is inspired by a lyric from Kris Krist-offerson’s ‘Bobby Mc-Gee’ that references the blues harp, (‘I took my harpoon out of my dirty red bandana’) and ‘axe’, a common term for the guitar.

Their influences range from the iconic songwriting of Willie Dixon to the boundary pushing of Jack White and Danger Mouse but their sound is distinct-ly their own, smoth-ered in greasy, gritty soul and imbued with funk. Shawn Hall pro-vides the rousing, rug-ged vocals and blues harmonica, while Mat-thew Rogers rips on the guitar and pounds the skins with his feet. Their music is unapologetic. It slaps you in the face and makes you sweat like it’s a sticky, summer night. It cuts you to the core. It’s the blues played the

way it was meant to be played.

Shawn and Mat-thew have received con-siderable recognition in the last few years. They have been nomi-nated for multiple Maple Blues Awards and won ‘Blues Act of the Year’ at the SiriusXM Indies in 2013.

The duo has also pounded their fair share of festival stages includ-ing SXSW 2013/14, Winnipeg Folk Fest, Ot-tawa Blues Fest, Calgary Folk Fest, and Montreal Jazz Fest. Along the way they’ve shared the stage with Taj Mahal, Booker T Jones, David Wilcox, Mother Mother, The Sheep Dogs, and Serena Ryder.

They’ve also had songs featured on tele-vision shows such as the ‘The Good Wife’, ‘Blue Bloods’, and the aptly-named TV movie

‘Lizzie Borden Took An Axe’.

As an added bonus they are joined by Jody Peck, aka Miss Quincy.

Miss Quincy began her music career in the wild mountains of north-ern B.C., though she’s been a touring warrior since the beginning, re-leasing her debut Your Mama Don’t Like Me in 2010, and follow-up Like The Devil Does in 2012.

Beat the winter chills with a hot night of blues at the Mount Eliz-abeth Theatre on Friday, February 13.

Show starts at 8 p.m.

Family seeking answers 25 years after fatal fire in RupertBy Shaun ThomasTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - After a quar-ter of a century, Patricia Rochon is holding out hope that the per-son who started a fire that killed four members of her family will be brought to justice.

At 5:15 a.m. on Feb. 5, 1990, fire broke out at the Brooks Bank Building on 3rd Avenue West. When fire crews arrived the build-ing was fully engulfed in flames and it took crews hours to extin-guish the fire. When the smoke cleared, the bodies of four people were recovered from the wreckage.

Those four were Patricia’s 45-year old mother Hega Rochon, her sisters Sherri, 26, and Pauline, 19, as well as Pauline’s seven-month old daughter Kimberly Dumais. All

told, three generations of Rochon women were killed on that tragic night.

In the years since, Patricia said the one responsible has not been found despite one witness and a document believed to be sent from the arsonist.

“We did get a letter approxi-mately five years ago and provided it to the RCMP, but they weren’t able to get anything from it. I would like to make a plea for the person that sent that letter or anyone who has information to come forward,” said Patricia, adding that closure is what the family is truly seeking.

“There are three of us still alive and I don’t want to pass this trage-dy on to our children because most of them were not born when the fire struck.”

Patricia isn’t the only one this

incident has stuck with. “I still think about the mo-

ment,” Staff Sgt. Garry Kerry, the original lead investigator at the time of the fire, said in a statement in 2011.

“The scene was horrific. I can still see them huddled together in the living room area, the small child still in her mother’s arms. I can’t imagine the horror they went through.”

The father of seven-month-old Kimberly Dumais, Tim, Patricia and other surviving family mem-bers and friends want the individual responsible to be brought to justice before another anniversary comes and goes.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Provincial Un-solved Homicide Unit at 1-877-543-4822 or Crime Stoppers.

MP weighs in on debate surrounding Alaska Ferry terminalBy Shaun ThomasTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - Skeena-Bulkey Valley MP Nathan Cullen re-mains hopeful that the feud between the Ca-nadian and American governments can be re-solved and a new Alas-kan ferry terminal will be built in Prince Ru-pert.

“It’s just not in Alas-

ka’s interests to hold this up. This is an investment that makes sense for their own people and for travel to the Alaskan Panhan-dle and beyond. It’s cut-ting off their nose to spite their face,” he said dur-ing a teleconference with media last week.

Cullen said he has been in conversation with Minister for Inter-national Trade Ed Fast regarding the ferry ter-

minal upgrade, implor-ing that negotiations continue and for there to be a way the terminal gets built.

“What I was encour-aging the minister to do is to make sure the lines of communica-tion are still open even as the Alaskans have pushed off their deci-sion whether or not to build this terminal,” Cullen said.

“It’s in their interest. They have to understand that the Buy Ameri-ca policy goes directly against Canada’s inter-

est, particularly on land that is owned by the Ca-nadian government.”

Cullen said the ter-minal upgrade is impor-

tant for Prince Rupert and Alaska, with there being an exemption the Alaskan government can adopt.

“It’s clearly some-thing they can do. It’s been done before on much, much longer proj-ects,” he said.

New social dev ministerBy Tom FletcherTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

VICTORIA - Parksville - Qualicum MLA Michelle Stilwell was sworn in Monday as B.C.’s minister for so-cial development and social innova-tion.

Comox Valley MLA Don McRae asked to be relieved of his cabinet role last week to deal with an illness in his family, and Premier Christy Clark ap-pointed Stilwell to replace him.

The ministry is in charge of social assistance, provincial disability assis-tance and Community Living B.C., the agency responsible for people with de-velopmental disabilities.

The cabinet change comes as the ministry reviews its long-standing policy of deducting spousal child sup-

port payments from money paid to so-cial assistance recipients. Stilwell will likely be a target of opposition critics on that and other poverty-related is-sues when the B.C. legislature recon-venes Feb. 10.

A multiple medal-winning Para-lympic athlete in basketball and wheelchair racing, Stilwell was elect-ed to the B.C. legislature in May 2013, and has served as B.C. Liberal caucus chair.

Clark named Abbotsford South MLA Darryl Plecas to replace Stilwell as parliamentary secretary for seniors.

Clark has said the B.C. Liberal government will table its third bal-anced budget on Feb. 17, after consid-ering revenues and spending priorities such as an increase in social assistance rates.

A call for more openness in Port EdBy Shaun ThomasTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PORT EDWARD - As Port Edward prepares to potentially undergo ma-jor growth with the emergence of the liquefied natural gas industry, some residents are calling for more open-ness from district council.

“When I was canvassing and talk-ing to people, what I heard is what one gets out of this office and what is real-ly happening don’t connect,” said Al-ice Kruta at the Jan. 27 meeting.

One of the two main focal areas of concern for Kruta was Port Edward’s Official Community Plan (OCP), a document that outlines areas for dif-ferent types of development going forward.

“Not many people even know what the OCP is and the importance of it with regards to decisions being made. There is a lot of changes to the 2013 OCP ... ask anyone on the street if they know what the OCP is. You’re going to be surprised because you’re not going to get a lot of people who know what it is and how important it is,” she said.

“This is why I would like to see small public meetings. You want a smooth, functioning Official Commu-nity Plan and that is not happening ... I know it is a lot of work, but it is our bible.”

Noting some opposition to LNG in the community, Kruta said the time to make changes is now.

“I am really concerned about a lot of young people. There is nothing here for young people to do and I real-

ly think that is an important issue be-cause the young people are our future. They are the ones who are going to be looking after us,” she said.

In responding to her concerns about the plan and industrial devel-opment, acting Mayor Dan Franzen noted there was opportunity for input throughout the process.

“There were public meetings and they were reported. There were public meetings for the OCP, for the camps, the LNG plants – they all have public meetings. I have sat here in them and a lot of times nobody shows up, but the information is out there ... the com-munity’s reflection [in the OCP] is friendly growth. We don’t want to be Vancouver. You’re going to see a lot of changes in the next little while. Some you’re going to like, some you’re probably not,” he said, adding LNG is one way for Port Edward to address issues related to young people.

“LNG is going to make it so there are things for our young people to do because right now we have a tax base of almost nothing. Until we get some structures here, it is going to be the same.”

Franzen also noted council is in the midst of changing how council meetings are held to allow for more public participation.

“We had a meeting on that and we are going to have an opportunity for public input at the end of the meeting. It won’t be for big, long speeches, but if you have a simple question we are going to address that ... we do want a user-friendly system, so if you have a question it is not a problem,” he said,

adding anyone is welcome to attend the regular monthly meetings.

However, Coun. Grant Moore suggested council go even further in opening up more communication with people in Port Edward.

“I would like us to have, every six months, a public forum, almost a question and answer period for the residents of Port Edward in order to be transparent. Everybody talked about transparency in their campaign, here and Prince Rupert, and I think it would go a long way for residents,” he said.

“It would just be good to get the community together every six months and some people are nervous about coming to the more formal council meeting.”

Along with creating more coun-cil access for the public, Kruta said a lot of residents’ concerns could be addressed by making better use of the district bulletin, which is sent out to all residents.

“It could be used more diligent-ly to post changes or bylaws that are coming up or notices that are coming up. It seems like you are doing just what you are legally required to do,” she said.

“The newsletter is so predict-able most people just throw it out. It has the transit info and council news, but that is as vague as it can get. There are no postings, no land use decisions, no community report, no committee reports. This could re-ally be made a lot more effective be-cause everybody in Port Edward gets this.”

Planning for growthContributedTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - When major projects give the green light to proceed, there will be little chance for local businesses to get in front of the storm, warns BC’s top LNG expert.

With more than $60-billion in major projects and investment op-portunities planned in the Northwest BC over the next ten to fifteen years, local contractors and suppliers should be looking to take ad-vantage of this economic boom.   One question remains: Are you ready?

“Now is the time to prepare” says LNG Buy-BC advocate Gor-don Wilson.

A good opportunity for preparation comes with next month’s Northwest Growth Conference, which features workshops to help local businesses understand the bid process for major industrial proj-ects, get on the supplier list, and how to access funding from NDIT to make the process more affordable for the bottom line. Confer-ence attendees will also hear from businesses from Rupert, Terrace and Kitimat that have gone through the procurement process and are successfully providing products and services to the larger industrial projects in mining, LNG, hydro-electric, and port development.

“There are millions of dollars of goods and services needed to support these projects,” says workshop presenter Renata King, a cer-tified management consultant and Director of Business Develop-ment with Northern Development Initiative Trust (NDIT) in Prince George.

“We are trying to get local contractors and businesses prepared before the boom so procurement starts with local qualified compa-nies.”

Registrants will also be able to take advantage of the Coaches Corner on the second day and meet with experts in the areas of pro-curement, succession planning, marketing and branding, and busi-ness planning who will offer free advice. Other conference work-shops include Growing Your Business, Succession Strategies and Access to Capital.

The Northwest Growth Conference takes place March 6 and 7 in Prince Rupert. Registration information is available at www.hseds.ca/2015NWGC

“In terms of procurement this is the chance to see what it takes to get on the preferred local supplier lists of major companies,” King adds.

Rotary clubs want big splashin downtown Terrace park spotBy Josh MasseyTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

TERRACE – The plans by local Rotary clubs to build a kids splash park in Terrace was supported by Terrace council at a recent council meeting, however several coun-cillors were uncertain that George Little Park is the right location.

Speaking at the Jan. 26 regular council meet-ing, Terrace Rotary Club president Kelly Gingles said the park, which al-ready contains a play-ground section, a seniors exercise section and a performance stage, is their preferred location for the facility because of its centrality and ac-cessibility for all social groups.

The Terrace Rota-ry Club, in concert with the Terrace Skeena Val-ley Rotary Club who was represented by their president, Lisa Novich, wants to build the up to $250,000 splash park beside the current kids play area.

“Not all families can go to the lakes,” said Gingles, adding that the Rotary clubs had thor-oughly considered sev-eral locations for the splash park.

Councillor Stacey Tyers said she thought the Southside would be a better location because most city recreation-

al facilities are already downtown, such as the aquatic centre.

She mentioned the park behind Walmart as one possible location or one on Haugland Ave.

Diminishing green space was also brought up by Tyers and council-lor Lynne Christiansen as worries. She suggest-ed a splash park design that was narrower in dimension and having less of a footprint on the green space.

Councillor Michael Prevost said he wanted to ensure it was a safe distance from traffic on

Kalum and other near-by streets. The Rotary presentation mentioned corporate sponsorship and grants as well as money already set aside for such a project and raised through events such as Oktoberfest.

The groups are con-fident they can amass the necessary money for a pegged completion date of summer 2016.

Once constructed, maintenance and water costs would be borne by the city, and Gingles said the estimated price is $1,000 based on a splash park in the similar-sized

town of Merritt.The amount of water

used would be approxi-mately the same as four to nine houses use in a year, Gingles told coun-cil. City staff have yet to create an estimate of the cost and will come back to council with a recommendation based on price and their own analysis of possible lo-cations. Councillor Sean Bujtas said he likes the idea but was waiting to see what the cost esti-mates for utilities and upkeep of the splash park before fully com-mitting to the project.

Resident hunters say new allocations penalizes themBy Anna KillenTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

TERRACE - Area hunt-ers say they are going to keep the provincial gov-ernment in their sights until it backs down on planned changes to the way big-game hunting permits are issued.

That was the main message from BC Wild-life Federation (BCWF) director Alan Martin at the Terrace Rod and Gun Club here during an informational meet-ing on the new regula-tions, � rst announced in December and set to be legislated in the coming months.

The changes, affect-ing the hunt of moose, grizzly bears, big horn sheep and other restrict-ed animals, would in-crease the percentage of permits allocated to guide out� tters and their out-of-province clients and decrease the amount of permits allocated to resident hunters.

Resident hunters would still receive a higher percentage of the draw – depending on the region and the animal, anywhere from 60 to 80 per cent.

But resident hunters are saying it is the high-est percentage allocated to guide out� tters any-

where in North Amer-ica and the BCWF has been leading the charge against the changes by organizing petitions, ral-lies, and town hall ses-sions like the one here Jan. 18 across the prov-ince.

For Mike Langeg-ger, the area’s BCWF representative who orga-nized the session at the Terrace Rod and Gun Club and an earlier ses-sion in Kitimat, the shift in allocation is an insult to resident hunters.

“It’s viewed as tak-ing a common property, a wildlife resource, and moving towards priva-tization of a portion of that wildlife,” said Langegger. “Our hunt-ing season brings fam-ily and friends together, it’s a high value socially, it’s really the fostering

and nurturing of friend-ship and family bonds through our hunting op-portunities which will now be less. It’s also a key thing as a means of providing healthy organ-ic food.”

That point was echoed by Chris Schoo-ner, from the Terrace Rod and Gun Club, who said he doesn’t hunt himself but is concerned for families who rely on hunting for sustenance.

In his opinion, there is more to be gained eco-nomically by supporting local, resident hunters, than the guide out� tting industry.

The Guide Out� t-ter Association of B.C. (GOABC) has chal-lenged a number of the BCWF’s points, saying in a release Jan. 23 that the guide out� tting in-dustry is a major con-tributor to rural econo-mies, bringing in “high value” tourists, with the average guided client spending $27,000 on their hunting expedition, and that the new alloca-tion policy makes B.C.’s resident hunter to guided out� tter split compara-ble to neighbouring ju-risdictions.

GOABC also notes that the split mainly ap-plies to limited entry hunt (LEH) areas, and

that there are many gen-eral open season (GOS) hunting opportunities around the province.

But Langegger says that when you take away LEH opportunities from resident hunters around the province, it forces resident hunters to travel sometimes long distanc-es to get to a GOS area away from their local area and that those GOS areas could potentially become overcrowded and over utilized, lead-ing to more restrictions.

“A good example of that is we’ve had a GOS season in Skeena North, which is up in the Dease Lake, Stikine, Klappan area and that was typi-cally an eight-week sea-son, and that’s now been shortened down to four weeks and there’s some rumblings about high resident hunter use and that possibly going into limited entry in the fu-ture,” he said.

Earlier this month, energy and mines min-ister Bill Bennett, Koo-tenay MLA, indicated that the government had made a mistake with the changes and that they needed to review the de-cision. However, hunt-ing allocations actually fall under forestry min-ister Steve Thomson’s portfolio, and in an in-

terview on CBC Radio’s Early Edition Jan. 22 Thomson stood by the changes in general, say-ing that he believed the new splits were fair and balanced.

He did note that

some speci� c feedback received on changes to sheep season in region 4 – Kootenay – was being reviewed.

Resident hunters across the province have been holdings meetings

and staging rallies and marches in support of their belief regarding an-imal allocations.

One of the protests was held at the riding of-� ce of Premier Christy Clark.

Heritage fairs connect youth with local and global historyBy Shaun ThomasTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - While a lot of youth have their eyes on the fu-ture, Tom Morton wants to make sure the past isn’t strictly in the rear-view mirror.

As the provincial co-ordinator for the Heritage Fairs Program in B.C., Morton was in Prince Rupert last week to talk to teachers from across the district about how to connect students with the history of their community and their world.

“Through surveys we have found some students don’t know why they are study-ing history ... my mes-sage is that through heritage and critical thinking we can make history come alive and have meaning to young people,” said the self-described history educator.

“I try to make his-tory education purpose-ful, fun and exciting, and that is what heritage fairs are all about.”

While the North Coast is new to the con-cept of heritage fairs, with the � rst being host-

ed at North Paci� c Can-nery last year, Morton said it can sometimes be amazing what impact the gatherings can have.

“The students get to choose a topic of their own interest, though sometimes it will be on a theme like immigra-tion or the economy, but picking their own subject matter helps motivate them ... it means they see them-selves in history and a lot of times there is that disconnect,” he said.

“I have seen every-thing from the history of professional wres-tling to the history of dairy farming in B.C.”

While students can pick the subject mat-ter, Morton said there is de� nitely a role for teachers to play in making sure they get the most out of the experience.

“Sometimes stu-dents can miss the big picture, so it is up to a skilled teacher to take that small-scale idea and put it in a glob-al perspective,” he said, adding the ad-vent of easy-access in-formation also puts responsibility on the

teacher. “Often students

take that easily acces-sible information or the � rst thing that pops up on a Google search

for the project, but that isn’t always ideal. Just because something is easy to � nd doesn’t mean it is the best source.”

North Paci� c Can-nery will host its sec-ond regional Heritage Fair on April 30 and, while he may not be in attendance, Morton

has a good idea what he would like to see in 2015 and in the years ahead.

“I would like to see growth not only in

numbers but in critical thinking,” he said.

“Getting in touch with history can really help us understand the world today.”

River Kings come close in game oneTERRACE - The Terrace River Kings are asking their supporters to � ll the rink on Saturday for the sec-ond, crucial game of their playoff se-ries against the Smithers Steelheads.

The Steelheads managed to pull off a 5-4 win in Smithers last week-end in game one of the CIHL’s west-ern division � nals.

Patrick Leal was in net for the Kings, taking 44 shots, with David Little taking 49 shots for the Steel-heads.

The game was tied 2-2 at the end of the � rst, with goals from Kings’ Brenden Devries and Steve Cullis, before Smithers took the lead in the second, making it 4-3.

An unassisted goal by Terrace’s Toby Mitchell two-and-a-half min-utes into the third tied it up, but Smithers’ Jaden Janzen took ad-vantage of the powerplay just over halfway through the period to give the Steelheads the 5-4 lead, and the Kings couldn’t � nd the back of the net for the remainder of the game.

The loss means that the Kings need a win on Saturday to force a third game on Sunday, a game that would also be at the Sportsplex.

And in the east, Quesnel Kanga-roos beat Williams Lake Stampeders 6-5.

Terrace is looking for revenge against Smithers this weekend at the Sportsplex for game two of the western division CIHL � nals.

Terrace midgets top tourneyBy Kevin Campbell THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - By now, the midget rep Terrace Kermodes prob-ably enjoy the con� nes of Prince Ru-pert’s Jim Ciccone Civic Centre al-most as much as their own arena.

Every time the team rolls in, it seems they roll over their Seawolves rivals and roll out – and last weekend was no different during the Prince Rupert Minor Hockey-hosted Battle of the Ice tournament.

Hosting Burns Lake, Smithers and Terrace, the four-team tourney came to a head when the Seawolves and Kermodes met up in the � nal af-ter � nishing � rst and second in the round robin, respectively.

And while it was the Seawolves who struck � rst and won Game One of Battle of the Ice 4-3, it was the Ker-modes who had all the momentum during Sunday’s � nal, skating their way to a 10-0 victory and the gold medal.

“We expected to win,” said Ker-modes goalie Dion Johnston, who col-lected his � rst shutout of the weekend in the � nal. “Not 10-0. I thought it’d be a little closer, but we wanted it.”

The midget rep Kermodes, who lost their only game all weekend to Rupert in that 4-3 loss, beat Smithers 4-2 and Burns Lake 5-4 in the lead-up to the � nal. Johnston played every game except the � rst against Rupert.

Despite the lopsided score, some

of the best hockey played by the Sea-wolves was that of goaltenders Cole Lindsay, who played the � rst period and surrendered two goals to the Ker-modes’ Ryan Kawinsky and Mark Fisher, and Caleb Perrie, who pre-vented Terrace from piling it on in the second period when he took over.

Perrie fought off de� ected shots from the point and large amounts of traf� c in front to keep Terrace’s lead respectable at 5-0 after two periods.

Two tremendous saves in particu-lar by Perrie occurred when he stuck his right pad out to deny Freddie Mowatt a one-timer from point-blank range and another stop, again with his pads, on Liam Albright who was pounding away at a loose puck, but a down-and-out Perrie kept his right leg � rmly against the post, showing off the youngsters’ lower-body strength.

Yet despite his best efforts, Per-rie could only do so much and three goals by Connor Onstein, Hunter Johnson and Kermodes captain Cole Motschilnig gave the Kermodes a commanding 5-0 lead after two peri-ods. Onstein’s tally was on the power-play and Motschilnig’s was on a de-layed call against Rupert.

The Kermodes broke the game wide open in the third period, where they relentlessly hemmed the Sea-wolves in their own zone for minutes at a time and added � ve more goals to their score.

A shorthanded marker got things going four minutes into the third, fol-

lowed by a four-on-four goal by Sam Reinbolt, who slid a wrister under-neath the pads of Perrie with 6:47 left in the game.

Then, on a � ve-on-three man-ad-vantage, with Rupert desperate for a line change, the gigantic Nicho-las Nordstrom found a lane from the right point to put Terrace up 8-0.

Two more goals by Albright and Colten Stark rounded out the scoring for the Kermodes.

“We worked really good as a team today,” said Johnston.

“We really pulled together af-ter our loss. We were pretty rusty the � rst couple games. All of us have been here since peewee – this is pret-ty much the same team we had back then,” he said of the group’s close-ness.

Smithers defeated Burns Lake for the bronze medal 5-1 and in other round robin action, Smithers dumped Burns Lake 4-1 in their � rst meeting, Prince Rupert topped Burns Lake 6-2, Terrace doubled up on Smithers 4-2, then beat Burns Lake 5-4, and Prince Rupert beat Smithers 5-3.

Prince Rupert’s most points award went to Cole Atchison, while Karanpal Gill got player of the game and Austin Weir won Prince Rupert’s player of the tournament.

Terrace’s most points award was won by Johnson, Tanner Braid was game MVP and the tournament MVP title went to the Kermodes’ Eric Vandevelde.
