Pulp mill site lawsuit finally settledBy Shaun ThomasTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - The City of Prince Rupert and Sun Wave For-est Products have reached an out-of-court settlement, putting an end to a lengthy court battle and any future claims on the city by the company.

Under the terms of the settle-ment, the city will not pay Sun Wave any money and will work to decommission the mill over the next 24 to 30 months. The settlement also gives the City of Prince Rupert clear title to the

former pulp mill site, allowing it to work toward the sale of the site to the Watson Island Develop-ment Corporation (WatCo).

“This is excellent news. The private sector can now move on with repurposing Watson Island, resulting in numerous jobs, while the mill is decommissioned,” said Mayor Jack Mussallem, noting a change in management played a role in resolving the matter.

“Congratulations are in or-der for our new city manager, Robert Long, who has taken on this complicated � le and found a workable solution that is good

for Prince Rupert,” said Mayor Mussallem.

WatCo intends to repurpose the mill as a private multi-modal port using the land and docking facilities to service the coming industrial activity in the Prince Rupert region. An overall envi-ronmental remediation plan will be sought from the Province of British Columbia and the site will be remediated as the mill site is decommissioned.

Elton Tanner, chief operating of� cer for WatCo, noted there is still much to be done.

“It is still a long way from a

done deal,” he said, also noting the efforts of Long. “He shook the bag, he changed things.”

Mussallem said the plan now is to sell the equipment and scrap metal on the site, and it is antici-pated there will be a lot of inter-est from the private sector to de-commission the mill.

The City of Prince Rupert took control of Watson Island in 2009 when Sun Wave failed to pay taxes owed on the site. In Feb. 2010, however, the compa-ny � led suit against the city, dis-puting ownership of the lands and equipment in the site.

COMPOSITE DECKINGEXPERIENCE THE GREAT OUTFLOORS

2 COLORS IN STOCK •Chestnut & Grey BirchICBC hikes its basic rates

By Tom FletcherThe NorTherN coNNecTor

VICTORIA - ICBC has applied for a 4.9 per cent rate increase to its basic vehicle insurance rates to take effect Nov. 1.

For an average driver who now pays $1,369 a year for basic insurance, the increase would add an extra $36. In its rate application to the B.C. Utilities Commission, ICBC is also seeking a four per cent decrease in optional coverage that would reduce that annual bill by $25.

The last rate increase was 11 per cent in 2012, coupled with a six per cent cut in optional in-surance where ICBC competes with private insurers.

In an open letter to customers, Mark Blucher, interim CEO

of ICBC, says the in-crease is needed to keep up with increasing bodi-ly injury claims, with higher payouts as more people turn to lawyers to dispute their insur-

ance payouts.Blucher said injury

claim volume is also rising, including crash-es involving drivers dis-tracted by smartphones, and more pedestrians

and cyclists on roads.ICBC cut 260 posi-

tions last year after an audit showed its man-agement ranks had swelled by 41 per cent between 2007 and 2011.

Pie one on …

TERRACE - Susan Kinney from St. Matthew’s Anglican Church is getting ready for the Skeena Valley Fall Fair. This year, church volunteers will be serving up pieces of homemade pie to fair-goers once again in the fair exhibit hall which is the Thornhill Community Hall. Four volunteers will be making between 40-45 pies, ranging in flavours from mixed berry, fruit, raisin and nut pies, such as pecan. Pie is sold by the slice, at $3.50 a piece. Money raised all goes back to help the church and charities. And, as a reminder, gates for the Skeena Valley Fall Fair Sept. 7 and 8 open at the Thornhill Community Grounds at 9 each morning.

Highways on agendafor government meetBy Cameron OrrThe NorTherN coNNecTor

KITIMAT - Kitimat will make a pitch to the pro-vincial government to implement a new menin-gitis vaccine program in the province, while the regional district wants to hold the Ministry of Transportation to task over maintenance of our highways.

Those are among the many motions on the table for voting at the Union of B.C. Munici-palities (UBCM) annual conference on Sept. 16.

The conference is the annual gathering of representatives of all B.C. towns, which to-gether pitch issues and ideas directly to the province.

The District of Kiti-mat’s motion relates to earlier council meet-ings with Janet Munro, who represents Men-ingitisBC.org, a group committed to getting the province to provide a vaccine program which covers the MCV4 vac-cine, which gives more comprehensive protec-

tion against meningitis strands.

If passed, the motion calls for the new vaccine program to be imple-mented in all second-ary schools by April 24, 2014.

Meanwhile, the Re-gional District of Kit-imat-Stikine is hoping the UBCM will back them on calling on the Minister of Transporta-tion and Infrastructure to “revise the provincial standards for road main-tenance for future road maintenance contracts, to meet public safety needs.”

Within the motion itself the regional dis-trict notes that “northern BC residents consistent-ly declare road mainte-nance fails to meet trav-ellers’ requirements and that standards have de-teriorated since privati-zation of road mainte-nance,” as well as points out that road mainte-nance contractors con-sistently meet their con-tractual obligations.

This complements another motion from the RDKS asking that the

classification of High-way 16 be reclassified from a Class B to a Class A.

Among the motion’s ‘whereas’ clauses, one points to Highway 16’s critical importance to the economy of the re-gion, province and na-tion, “and requires the highest standards of maintenance.”

According to the Ministry of Transporta-tion, highways in B.C. are classified from A to F, effectively highest priority to lowest.

Class A highways are “the main, high vol-ume highways.”

Class B, which is what the majority of Highway 16 is (except for through communi-ties such as Terrace and Smithers), is defined as “routes that are main numbered highways, but not as much traffic as Class A.” Highway 37S, from Terrace to Kitimat, is a Class A highway.

A Ministry spokes-person said that there are no current plans within the department to change classifications.

Earthquakes hit the west coastBy Shaun ThomasTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - The plates below the Paci� c Ocean were active this week with six earthquakes hitting the waters of Bella Bella.

The U.S. Geological Sur-vey reports a magnitude 6.1 earthquake that hit 191 km southwest of Bella Bella, B.C. at 1:19 p.m. on Mon-day. The quake registered at a depth of just one kilome-tre, but spurred on two af-tershocks that were large in their own right.

The � rst aftershock, a magnitude 4.6 earthquake, came at 2:05 p.m. just 10 km from the � rst shake. 20 min-utes later a second, larger af-tershock measured 4.8 on

the richter scale and came just 8 km from the initial epicentre. That evening, in the near vicinity, there were aftershocks of magnitude 4.2, 5.0 and 5.9.

Despite the magnitude of the earthquake and the aftershocks, Canada Earth-quake said none of it was felt by people on the coast, there was no damage and there was none expected as a result.

There was no tsunami warning issued as no major wave action was expected to hit the coast.

The earthquakes on Tuesday followed a mag-nitude 3.9 earthquake re-corded 119 km southwest of Port alice on Vancouver Is-land at 5:49 p.m. on Monday evening.

Tryouts begin soon for DemonsContributedTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

KITIMAT - It’s that time again as the Kitimat Ice De-mons Senior Men’s AA hockey team starts preparing for the 2013-14 Central Inte-rior Hockey League season.

The Ice Demons will be entering its twelfth season in the league and are again hop-ing to ice a strong team, with a large proportion of the ex-isting core group of players expected to return.

Of� cial tryouts for the team will be held at Tamitik Arena on September 9 and 10, (9:15 to 10:30 p.m., to be

followed by two inter-squad games, on September 12 & 14.

The September 12 game is scheduled to start at 9:15 p.m. and the game on Sep-tember 14 will face off at 7:30 p.m.

There is a minimum age limit of 18 years unless cleared with manager Terry Marleau (632-7378) or head coach Cliff Madsen (639-9881).

Fans are welcome at all practice and inter-squad games. Coach Madsen re-minds participants that the try-outs are full contact hockey.

“I’m looking forward

from what I’ve heard ahead of the tryouts for there to be a lot of competition for forward line sports, but we may be challenged a lit-tle with our defensive line-up as a result of a couple of team retirements — includ-ing long-time defenseman, Dave Venman — but there’s always a surprise of two when the players show up to try out,” said Madsen. “And we’re not sure what addition-al talent might be available from contract and project workers in town, who will also be welcome at our try-outs and inter-squad games,” Madsen said.

LAKALZAP - Vanessa Morgan weaves a traditional Nisga’a Gwiis Halayt, or “Chilkat” blanket as they are known today, at the Nisga’a Museum. While she wove, visitors to the museum were able to learn about the ancient traditions associated with this type of weaving, how this type of weaving was appropriated by other First Nations communities, and about the evolution of weaving as a cultural practice within Nisga’a Nation. The museum is now open Wednesday through Sunday noon to 5 pm. Guided tours are pro-vided every hour, on the hour with the last tour starting at 4 pm.

BC Hydro planslarge outageTERRACE - BC Hydro is turning off power to thou-sands of people east of here Sept. 8 so it can move transmission towers and power lines.

The outage affecting people from Kitwanga to Telkwa in the Bukley Valley is necessary because spring 2012 runoff waters eroded the land around one of the towers on the banks of the Bulkley River, stranding the tower by creating a small island.

“For emergency and maintenance access rea-sons, this not an acceptable situation,” says Dave Mosure from BC Hydro.

“Crews immediately made the situation safe with temporary repairs to ensure the supply to the communities fed by this line.”

Crews since then have worked to set up perma-nent towers and are close to completion.

But that means turning off the power to safely move wires, said Mosure.

For safety reasons, this cannot be accomplished with the lines energized. These lines carry hundreds of thousands of volts. Accidents with any electrical current are serious, but at this level there’s no room for error,” he said.

The outage is scheduled to start at 6 a.m. and last until 6 p.m. and Sept. 8 was chosen after speaking to people in the communities.

“As always, crews will work to restore service as quickly as safely possible. BC Hydro appreci-ates customers’ patience and understanding as crews work to make these necessary repairs to ensure the dependable supply of electricity,” said Mosure.

Because the outage will affect service stations along Hwy16 between the two communities, BC Hydro is warning travelers to be aware of the situa-tion before leaving home.

And it’s telling people to limit the opening of fridges and freezers during the outage.

The tower stranded by high water is located be-low the recycling plant just outside of Smithers on the way to Telkwa.

Province has inadequate oil spill response in placeBy Jeff NagelThe NorTherN coNNecTor

VICTORIA - Environment Minister Mary Polak says ad-vice she got from staff in June on the inadequacy of B.C.’s oil spill response capability largely underscored what the govern-ment had already disclosed a year ago.

She was responding to the Freedom of Information release of her ministerial briefing book, which warned the environ-ment ministry isn’t adequately staffed to meet existing oil spill risks, let alone those from pro-posed new export pipelines.

“Even a moderate-sized spill would overwhelm the province’s ability to respond and could result in a significant liability for government,” the document said.

On land, it noted, an hour-long spill from Enbridge’s pro-posed Northern Gateway proj-ect could spill 21,000 barrels of diluted bitumen into the B.C. wilderness.

Polak said in an interview little of the information came as

a surprise.The province

last summer re-leased a series of reports that bluntly spelled out B.C.’s defi-ciencies to back-stop its demand – issued at the same time – that any new heavy oil pipeline meet five key condi-tions, including wor ld- leading marine and land spill protections.

Although her briefing book said spill safeguard require-ments imposed on industry in both Washington State and Alaska are “far in excess of what is required in B.C.” the 2012 documents went into con-siderably more detail.

“That’s the entire basis for the work we have undertaken,” Polak said.

“What I saw in the brief-ing notes just added to the ur-gency of conducting that work.

It reminds you that while indus-try continues to develop and our economy grows, we have not over time kept pace with the chang-es.”

P r o p o s a l s to improve both marine and land spill responses are in the works for release later this year or early 2014.

The land re-sponse initiative aims to improve

prevention and cleanup mea-sures not just for pipelines, but also for hauling petroleum by train or tanker truck.

Marine rules also must im-prove safety not just for oil tankers but less obvious sources of potential spills, Polak said, such as large cargo ships that carry as much bunker fuel oil as a small tanker.

NDP environment critic Spencer Chandra Herbert ac-

cused the province of stacking its oil spill advisory committee with industry representatives and said that’s unlikely to lead to world-leading spill preven-tion policies.

“The government is allow-ing the oil industry to dominate the discussion, when a major spill would devastate not only our environment but other key industries like fishing and tour-ism, whose interests should be represented at the table,” he said.

Polak said more sectors will be consulted, but added it’s reasonable to work closely with the industry at the outset to evaluate its operations and ca-pabilities.

A land spill response cor-poration or cooperative funded by industry, similar to the one charged with cleanup of marine spills, is one potential option.

Petroleum movers want to be involved, she added.

“They recognize it’s part of the social licence they need to have in place to operate in this province,” Polak said.

“Even a moderate-sized spill would overwhelm the province’s ability to respond.”

Volunteers key to the Red CrossBy James ParkTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

TERRACE - After Kara Escott had her leg sur-gery, she went to the Red Cross Health Equipment Loan Program to borrow equipment to help in her recovery. She was so im-pressed with the service that, after her recovery, Escott decided to join the Red Cross volunteer team.

“I really love help-ing people who are in a position of need,” said Escott. “My plan is to attend nursing school, a decision I made be-cause of how much I’ve enjoyed helping people here at Red Cross.”

Escott started vol-unteering in November 2012.

She started by wash-ing and maintaining the health equipment, en-suring they are sanitized and in perfect work-ing order before being loaned out to another client.

She is now the lead volunteer for the Terrace Health Equipment Loan Program location and manages all the other volunteers.

The Canadian Red Cross Health Equip-ment Loan Program is a community-based pro-gram - mostly supported by volunteers like Es-cott - that loans essential health equipment to in-dividuals on a by-dona-tion basis.

Access to this ser-vice lets seniors stay at

home longer, helps peo-ple return home from the hospital sooner, and sup-ports palliative patients who wish to spend their � nal days in the comfort of their own home.

Escott � nds volun-teering with Red Cross to be a great social outlet in addition to providing a much-needed service and she hopes more vol-unteers will join her in Terrace.

“We’re such a nec-essary part of the com-

munity, and it would be great to have more peo-ple join our team so we can provide an even bet-ter service to the com-munity.”

Various positions are available, including cus-tomer service, data en-try, equipment cleaning and drivers.

Full training and support is provided for new volunteers.

To join this dynam-ic team, call 250-631-4177.

Rydde is the winner of the 2014 Prince Rupert Yellow Pages directory photo con-test and his shot of the moon rising over Mount Hays will be on the cover of next year’s phone book. The photo was taken on June 22, a clear night when Rydde found out the moon would be closer to earth than any other time of the year.

“So I went to the civic centre parking lot and used the top of my car as a tripod,” recalls Rydde.

“It was about 1 a.m. when I captured the photo. I really liked how the trees framed the moon, so I posted it on my Facebook page. One of my friends saw it and encouraged me to submit it to the pho-to contest.”

The picture was one of more than 60 submitted for consideration for the phone

book cover and, after being narrowed down, the pictures were posted on a Face-book poll at the end of July to determine the winner. Rydde’s picture captured 18 per cent of the 580 votes cast.

“Robb’s picture will be a great repre-sentation of Prince Rueprt for the directo-ry. I’m sure there are many people in town who remember a time when they’ve seen the moon just coming up over Mount Hays — it’s de� nitely one of those things that makes Prince Rupert unique,” said City-West sales and marketing manager Chris Armstrong.

This is the � rst year that residents of Prince Rupert have a had a say as to which picture they want on the directory, as City-West staff have always chosen the winner in the past and kept it a surprise for the community.

Along with the new cover, people can expect a new size for the phone book. This year, the Yellow Pages group is moving to a 7-inch by 9-inch size to be more user friendly.

After six months, Brooks family still seeking justice for JustinBy Martina PerryThe NorTherN coNNecTor

PRINCE RUPERT - Today marks the six-month anniversary of the discovery of 21-year-old Justin Brooks in Prince Ru-pert’s harbour.

With the half-year mark passing, Brooks’ family is happy to say they feel they’re close to finding answers about the details of Justin’s death. But they’re upset they’ve had to push to find a reason why they had to bury the young man.

“It shouldn’t have taken this long. They knew who assaulted him and they weren’t even put in jail [for the same amount of time someone who is put in the drunk tank is],” Cheryl Ryan, Brooks’ mother, said.

While the investigation is ongoing, Prince Rupert RCMP are not releasing any new information on Brooks’ passing at this time. Matt Ericson, spokesperson for the Prince Rupert RCMP, has recently said there is no evidence or information to sup-port Brooks’ death involving foul play or being suspicious in nature.

But the family of Brooks disagrees. Ryan said RCMP informed her her son was assaulted by a group of people in the Ro-tary Waterfront Park prior to his mysterious passing. Brooks’ family doesn’t accept that Justin, who couldn’t swim, would go near the water and slipped in, or committed sui-cide.

Ryan, Brooks’ stepfather Pete Wesley, and aunt Sheri Latimer have been raising money as the Justice for Justin campaign to offer a reward for information about Brooks’ death. The family lost hope in the Prince Rupert RCMP’s investigation after being told RCMP did not suspect foul play.

Ryan filed a public complaint against the Prince Rupert RCMP, and said an inves-tigator is reviewing the case to see if there

was any wrong-doing on the RCMP’s part. Prince Rupert RCMP are not comment-

ing on allegations RCMP did not properly investigate the death.

Ryan said RCMP have recently re-quested to have a meeting with Brooks’ family. The BC Civil Liberties Association will be travelling to Prince Rupert to partic-ipate in the meeting, as will the investigator and coroner involved in the case.

“We’re all going to be in one room, so they’re going to have to listen to me,” Ryan said.

In the meantime, the Justice for Justin campaign is continuing to fundraise and has surpassed the $6,000 mark. The family of Brooks has been raising money through a number of activities, including the sale of T-shirts and hoodies, and has begun selling Justice for Justin keychains and bracelets.

Since the Justice for Justin campaign

offered a $6,000 reward to anyone with vi-tal information on the activities of Brooks the night of his death, Ryan said a number of tips have come in.

“We’re thankful to the people who have been brave enough to [contact us],” Ryan said.

If the reward doesn’t entice anyone to come forward, the campaign will put the money toward hiring a private investigator.

“We’ve had to take the long way around, but I’m not going to quit,” Ryan said.

“I promised that to my son they day we put him in the ground ... I’m going to find out who did this, and get justice,” she said.

Brooks’ family also wants to ensure Justin’s son Lucas grows up knowing what happened to his father. Brooks’ family cel-ebrated his son Lucus’ first birthday with-out him on July 27.

I never went away!I hear you when you’re laughing,

and watch you as you sleep,

I even place my arms around you,to calm you as you

weep,I see you wish the days

away,begging to have me home

So I try to send you signs,so you know you’re not alone!

Don’t feel guilty that you havelife that was denied to me,Heaven is truly beautifuljust you wait and see!

So live your life, laugh again!enjoy yourself, be free.

Then, I’ll know with everybreath you take,

you’ll be taking one for me.

Terrace reclaims royal mountain titleBy Margaret SpeirsTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

TERRACE - THE KING of the Mountain crown has returned to Terrace.

Chris Hampton, who was sec-ond last year, edged out last year’s champion Judson Rowse from Port Edward by 17 seconds, winning the 40+ category and overall race with a time of 0:49:38.1.

The race took place on August 24.

Rowse’s second place time for the category and overall race was 0:49:55.7.

Willie Muller came third with a time of 0:56:24.6 and seventh over-all of the 61 runners.

Terrace runners won the re-maining categories with the excep-tion of the Male 18-39 category which went to Smithers’ Dave Per-

cy with a time of 0:51:52.2, which placed him third overall.

Second was James Clay with 0:53.06.2, which put him fourth overall and Cody Skog was third with 0:53:22.4 for � fth place over-all.

Eight-year-old Kohen Butler won the Youth 17 and under group with a time of 1:07:32.5 followed by Myah Bowal with 1:43.41.2 and Kelsyn Bowal with 1:43:58.8.

Butler’s time was also good enough for 26th place overall.

Tara Irwin won the Female 18-39 group with a time of 0:59:17.2, which put her 13th overall.

Gabe Newman of Smithers was second with 1:00:36.9, placing her 16th overall and Teresa Shi� ett was third with 1:06:08.2 and 23rd over-all.

Last year’s winner Donna Hull was unable to run this year due to

injury.Terrace women swept the top of

the Female 40+ group with Sherrie Hamer winning with 1:07:36.5 and 28th overall, Kim Barriere was sec-ond with 1:12:24.5 and 37th over-all and Lana Raposo was third with 1:18:09.6 and 42nd overall.

Organizer Nadene Butler said runners came from as far away as Germany, Nanaimo, Courtenay and Burns Lake.

CLAUS ANDERSEN / ATHLETICS CANADA / THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

Ben Thorne in Moscow.

RacewalkerBy Cameron OrrTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

KITIMAT - Kitimat’s own Ben Thorne contin-ues his move through the ranks of race walkers.

Most recently he competed in the Inter-national Association of Athletics Federations’ (IAAF)World Track and Field Championships in the 20 km race walk, held on August 11 in Moscow, Russia.

He placed 20 out of about 65 participants, a � nish he’s feels pleased with.

“It’s about as good as I could have hoped for,” he said. “I wasn’t too sure what to expect.”

For him, the race in Moscow wasn’t a matter of getting out ahead, but pacing himself.

Knowing his limits, and aware of the intense heat of the day, he start-ed slow, and “picked off” competitors as he went.

As for his physical preparedness, he said he was as � t as he ever was going to be getting into it.

But that said, “I do think there’s de� nitely room for improvement for next time.

I’ll work on my � t-ness to get my mileage up and hopefully I’ll be in the top eight next time or the medals.”

This particular com-petition happens every two years, so he said he’ll get his next chance to prove himself in Bei-jing in 2015.

After that will be the Olympics.

“That’s ultimately what we’re working to-wards,” he said.

Prince Rupert seniorarchers find the targetat 2013 senior gamesBy Martina PerryTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - Northwest ath-letes traveled to Kamloops for the 2013 BC Senior Games, returning with sev-eral medals around their necks.

Archery proved to be the strong suit for Prince Rupert athletes, with all but one of Prince Rupert’s seven med-als being won in the sport.

Two Prince Rupert athletes earned gold medals at the games, both in ar-chery. Prince Rupert’s Bob Bennett took the top spot in the Men 65-69 3D-Long without Sight and Fingers cate-gory, while Rupertite Fred Hutchings took gold in the same category, but for men ages 60 to 64.

Hutchings found success in the

Men 60-64 Target-Long without Sight and Fingers category, placing second. Prince Rupert’s Jim Martin also placed second in his age bracket, Men 55-59, in the same category.

Martin also earned the silver spot in the Men 55-59 3D-Long without Sight and Fingers category.

Bennett took home the bronze in the Men 65-69 Target-Long without Sight and Fingers category.

Prince Rupert’s Dawn Quast switched things up, earning the bronze medal in the Women 65-69 800 metre freestyle swimming race.

In total, Northwest athletes, which includes competitors from Prince Ru-pert, Terrace and Kitimat, received 46 medals in competition at this year’s se-nior games.

Crosby only lock so far for men’s Olympic hockey teamBy Bruce PentonTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

Some Canadians may care about the cost of health care, our coun-try’s crumbling infra-structure and whether Justin Bieber will ever even approach normal, but for the vast major-ity, it’s time to cut to the chase and concentrate on the really important stuff: Canada’s roster for the 2014 Olympic Games hockey tourna-ment.

It’s only September and the Sochi, Russia sporting festival is still � ve months away, but to Canadians, it matters not whether the temperature outside is 30 below or 30 above, it’s hockey sea-son. We’re either play-ing it, watching it, ana-lyzing it, thinking about it, talking about it or try-ing to � gure out why the Leafs can’t win a Cup. (It was Canada’s Cen-tennial year, 1967, by the way, when the Leafs last captured Lord Stan-ley’s mug. Some people wouldn’t be surprised if their next success hap-pens in our bicentennial year of 2067. But we di-gress.)

In late August, Hockey Canada of� -

cials gathered 47 of the NHL’s elite in Calgary for a variety of exer-cises, none of which in-volved skating because of hefty insurance costs. The players apparently ‘bonded’ — which will be a great bene� t only until one of them tries some facial surgery on another using a wooden stick in an early October game. But it made for a good media splash and got Canadians thinking about the Olympics, as if we needed a reminder.

In the end, coach Mike Babcock, execu-tive director Steve Yzer-man and the rest of the 22-member administra-tive group will choose a 25-man roster to try to bring Olympic gold back to Canada.

You don’t have to be a genius to know

that Sidney Crosby, who scored the ‘golden goal’ for Canada in 2010 when the Games were played in Vancouver, will be one of those 25, but the identities of the other 24 will be heavily, passionately and enthu-siastically debated from Gander, N.L. to Parks-ville, B.C., until the ros-

ter is submitted on Dec. 31.

A couple of weeks from now, we’ll take a stab at picking the 25-man roster, an exer-cise akin to choosing the winning 649 lottery numbers. • Dwight Perry of the Se-attle Times: “Tom Brady was the top-earning player in New England last year, but he wasn’t even No. 1 in his own household. The � nan-cial scoreboard, accord-ing to Forbes magazine: Brady $38.3 million, supermodel wife Gisele Bündchen $42 million.”• Blogger TC Chong, from Texas A&M’s lat-est football injury report: “QB Johnny Manziel, questionable (writer’s cramp).”• British golf commenta-tor Peter Alliss, in a John

Huggan column in Golf-World: “One good thing about rain in Scotland — most of it ends up as scotch.”• Blogger Bill Little-john, on Devin Hester of the Chicago Bears saying he has ‘one foot in the Hall of Fame’: “Clearly, the other one is in his mouth.”• RJ Currie of sportsde-ke.com: “Tim Tebow’s quarterback rating against Tampa Bay was 0.0. No wonder his coaches keep saying “Oh-Oh!” • Currie again: “My sis-ter-in-law’s terrier will bark when it sees base-ball on TV. Honest. Ex-cept when the Blue Jays are on; then it rolls over and plays dead.”• Brad Dickson of the Omaha World-Her-ald: “There are plans to

make a movie based on the life of Kurt Warner. Because Warner was an NFL player who didn’t drink or chase women and was never arrested, it will be considered a science-� ction � lm.”• Dickson again: “KISS has bought an Arena Football League team to be based in Los Angeles. It’ll be the � rst football team where the crazy, shirtless guys with face paint in the stands are the owners.”• Comedy writer Jim Barach: “The San Fran-cisco Giants have paid $545,000 to clubhouse workers for violations of minimum wage, over-time and record keeping laws. Or as Tim Lince-cum calls $545,000, the third inning.”• Headline at Fark.com: “Australian man runs a

marathon a day for 20 months / Dif� culty: He’s now 16,000 miles from home.”• Benjamin Hochman of the Denver Post, on Pey-ton Manning’s offensive arsenal: “The Broncos have three exclamation points at receiver and three question marks at running back.”• Comedy writer Alan Ray, on the Pirates land-ing out� elder Marlon Byrd and catcher John Buck in a trade: “The Mets get a top prospect and a player to be booed later.”• Dwight Perry again: “Into the The Name Cer-tainly Fits club, let us welcome: Aaron Her-nandez’s lawyer: Mi-chael Fee.”
