Liberal budget would raise some taxesBy Tom FletcherTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

VICTORIA – The B.C. Liberals’ pre-election budget proposes to implement income tax increases on business and higher-income individuals, similar to proposals from the NDP opposition.

The corporate income tax rate would rise one point to 11 per cent effective April 1, accel-erating by a year an increase an-nounced in 2012. NDP leader Adrian Dix has repeatedly prom-ised to increase the corporate rate to 12 per cent, where it was in 2008.

In Finance Minister Mike de Jong’s budget, tabled Tuesday, personal income taxes for those earning $150,000 or more would rise 2.1 per cent to 16.8 per cent for two years, starting next Janu-

ary. That increase is to be rolled back to the current rate of 14.7 per cent in 2015, de Jong said.

Dix has indicated that if the NDP forms government, he would impose an income tax increase for those earning $150,000 or more a year, with speci� cs promised in the NDP election platform.

De Jong stressed that B.C.’s personal income tax rates are still the lowest in Canada for those earning up to $122,000 a year.

With a provincial election set for May 14, this budget will not be passed by the time the brief legislature session ends in late March. Its measures are part of a campaign platform for Clark’s government, and the winner of the election must pass a budget in the fall.

Also proposed is a tobacco

tax hike of $2 per carton of cig-arettes. De Jong said the effec-tive date is held off until Oct. 1 to give people time to quit smoking, with 100,000 B.C. residents cur-rently taking advantage of a pro-vincial program offering free nic-otine patches, gum or approved prescription drugs.

The last tobacco tax increase was seven per cent when the har-monized sales tax was imple-mented in 2010, replacing the provincial sales tax that didn’t apply to tobacco. That tax is to be retained when the province re-verts to the PST on April 1.

De Jong’s budget also pro-poses to phase out school prop-erty tax credits for light industry for the 2013 budget year.

De Jong’s projections call for spending to increase by 1.5 per cent overall in the coming three

years, with health care spending increases of 2.3, 2.7 and 2.2 per cent over the same period.

“This is not enough even to maintain existing health care ser-vices, given the cost of popula-tion growth and in� ation, not to mention what’s needed to make needed improvements,” said Debra McPherson, president of the B.C. Nurses’ Union. “As a result, health authorities will be forced to continue jamming hos-pital patients into of� ces, loung-es and other areas not designed for patient care, as well as using hallways to take up the slack.”

The budget also adds a four per cent increase in Medical Ser-vices Plan premiums to take ef-fect next January, the latest in a series of increases paid by indi-viduals or their employers for ba-sic medical care.

Terrace chamber wants body to study taxing methodsBy Margaret SpeirsTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

TERRACE - The Ter-race and District Cham-ber of Commerce has urged city council to form a task force to study the disparity be-tween residential and business taxes.

Gordon Stamp-Vin-cent, � rst vice-president of the chamber, pro-posed a task force to study the taxation issue, saying businesses in the city face operating in an uncompetitive environ-ment.

The business com-munity said that busi-ness taxes for small businesses and small industry were too high in a Terrace Economic Development Author-ity (TEDA) report from July 2012, he added in addressing city council Feb. 12.

Businesses here lose customers to big box stores, online shopping and other competition, he said.

The premise of rais-ing business taxes is that businesses generate rev-enue while residences do not; however, resi-dences can have rentals in them or home-based businesses but they

don’t have to pay the business-related costs of either of those.

Businesses don’t want to pass off in-creased business costs to their customers and in the case of some busi-nesses, prices are set by a head of� ce elsewhere, so there’s no � exibility, said Stamp-Vincent.

If prices do increase, often customers will shop elsewhere, further reducing the business’s ability to absorb tax in-creases, he said.

In 2012, business-es pay four times what residences paid for their property value.

“It’s more dif� cult to diversify the economy with non-competitive tax rates,” said Stamp-Vincent.

Stamp-Vincent rec-ommended that council set up six to eight repre-sentatives from business and residents on a tax task force to study the issue and report back to council this fall.

The results can be included in the 2014 city budget, he added.

Councillor James Cordeiro asked on aver-age what percentage of their revenue were lo-cal businesses paying on taxes.

Stamp-Vincent said it depended on the busi-ness.

Cordeiro asked what the average would be and Stamp-Vincent said he didn’t know.

If the burden of tax-es is put on businesses, will that attract busi-nesses to come to town or will people move to a cheaper tax jurisdiction, Stamp-Vincent asked.

“And if you think it does not happen, look at the news, with eight Future Shops and seven Best Buy Stores being shut down so little things can mean a lot for a busi-ness’s setup,” he said.

Cordeiro asked if there was any evidence that those stores were closing due to property taxes; it’s believed they were closing because technological items sell better on the internet and that both stores have a huge internet presence.

“I’ll let retailers know you’d like busi-nesses to move out of town,” said Stamp-Vin-cent.

“I don’t think there’s evidence they’re closing because of property tax-es,” said Cordeiro add-ing he believed it was because a retail location was not the best way for

them to sell their prod-ucts.

“You don’t think taxes have a part in that?” Stamp-Vincent said.

Councillor Marylin Davies wondered if con-sumers would buy out of town or buy online if residential taxes were increased so that busi-ness taxes could be de-creased.

Davies said she talk-ed to businesses and that was their point of view.

“If you put residen-tial taxes up, do they take their money out of town?” she asked.

That would be

something for the task force to � nd out, said Stamp-Vincent.

“I think putting res-idential taxes up does not help businesses any. Businesses suffer be-cause residents go out of town [to shop],” Davies added.

Maatje Stamp-Vin-cent, the regional man-ager for the Canadian Federation of Indepen-dent Business, got up to speak as part of the del-egation on the business tax issue.

“Do you believe keeping the tax rate for residents consis-tent from 2005, or fairly

close to it, is a reason-able way to go when property values have doubled in that time pe-riod and business prop-erty values have not gone up in that time pe-riod?” she said.

“I trust that is a rhe-torical question,” re-sponded acting mayor Bruce Bidgood.

“Yes it is. So who needs to bear the burden for providing goods and services? Is it residential or is it businesses? Or should it be 50/50 and if so, why?” Stamp-Vin-cent asked.

Bidgood said he didn’t think a task force

would work because it would be impossible to get a consensus.

“You know we deal with a variety of de-mands on a meagre tax base. We have to make those decisions. When it comes to taxes, there are only a few tax classes. If residential goes up, then business could go down. Conversely I expect you will not get a consensus in Terrace that residents should pay more be-cause businesses should pay less,” said Bidgood.

This story has been changed from its origi-nal version to add points that were missing.

Liquor theft attemptedBy Staff ReporterTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

NEW HAZELTON - New Hazelton RCMP responded to a total of 63 calls during the week of February 7-13.

February 7, two ATVs were reported to be driving around the Two Mile area but had departed prior to police arrival.

February 8, during a routine patrol, a pickup truck was observed by police to be driving er-ratically on Hwy 62.

The vehicle was stopped and investiga-tion revealed the driver was impaired by alco-hol.

The vehicle was im-pounded and the driver suspended for 90 days.

February 9, police were called to attend the liquor store at the 28 Inn where several suspects

had entered the store and attempted to steal a bot-tle of liquor.

When confronted by store staff, they attempt-ed to � ght.

Police arrested sev-eral suspects and charg-es are pending.

Tip of the week -

According to ICBC, costs associated to an impaired driving licence suspension can be be-tween $600 and $4060, even for � rst time of-fences.

The tip of the week is obvious – don’t drink and drive.

Prospect of Kitimat oil refineryto be determined very soonBy Cameron OrrThe NorTherN coNNecTor

KITIMAT -When news-paper mogul David Black meets with peo-ple over breakfast at a provincial chambers of commerce conference in Vancouver March 6 he’ll hopefully have a stronger sense on where stakeholders stand on his proposed oil refinery for the Kitimat Valley.

The president of Kiti-mat Clean said in about two months, or 60 days, he expects to have heard back from the majority of people regarding his refinery dream and will have an idea on how fea-sible it is.

“[I thought] in two months I should have everything together,” he said.

That includes feed-back from potential fi-nanciers and customers.

But he’s still feel-ing optimistic about the whole thing. When the Northern Connec-tor last spoke to Black — who also doubles as the chairman of Black Press, the owner of The Northern Connector —

he had just concluded a tour in Asia meeting with potential partners and customers in the venture. Meetings con-tinued through the win-ter here in Canada and he said that no one ever said they wouldn’t take a refined fuel, one of the many criticisms of the project.

“There’s a lot of in-terest,” he said. “We will have the most com-petitive refinery on the whole Pacific basin.”

The Edmonton Jour-nal first reported on Black’s 60 day count-down last week.

Their story included comments from a Uni-versity of Alberta pro-fessor who suggested future prices of bitumen may make Black’s re-finery unfeasible in the next five or so years.

But speaking to the Northern Connector, Black responded that he’s not at all worried about future prices. He said that as long as bitu-men remains well under the price of a barrel from the Middle East, right now about $115 a barrel, he should be okay.

“As long as we’re substantially underneath in Alberta, and they are…we’re going to be super competitive,” he said.

Black still knows there’s lots of work to do, especially with an oil industry that’s very cautious of new refiner-ies, but is pleased with what he’s accomplished so far.

He said there are still formal discussions to have with area First Nations, including the Haisla.

In August 2012, Da-vid Black announced the formation of Kiti-mat Clean Ltd., and

said an environmental assessment application would be submitted for a proposed oil refin-ery near Kitimat, which would use product from the proposed Northern Gateway Pipeline.

The plant would process up to 550,000 barrels per day of di-luted bitumen to be shipped back to Edmon-ton, 240,000 barrels per day of diesel, 100,000 barrels per day of gaso-line and 50,000 barrels per day of kerosene.

There’s not been refinery built in North America for many years.

A modern day refin-ery would cost in the bil-lions and require strict environmental scrutiny.

Black says it would make a lot more eco-nomic and other sense to sell petroleum prod-ucts refined in Canada to overseas customers as opposed to sending the raw product overseas to be refined.

A refinery would add thousands of jobs in the northwest, resulting in stability of direct and indirect employment, Black has said.

B.C. Civil Liberties weighs in on teacher’s T-shirt debateBy ?Martina PerryTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - The president of the BC Civil Liberties Associa-tion (BCCLA) has called out the Prince Rupert school district for banning T-shirts containing section 2 of the Charter of Rights and Free-doms, claiming the decision ap-proaches the level of farce.

“The school district’s deci-sion to ban free speech about free speech reminds us of a badly-writ-ten comedy sketch. But this isn’t an Air Farce skit, it’s a troubling viola-tion of teachers’ constitutional right to free expression,” said Lindsay Lyster, president of the BC Civil Liberties Association.

The letter refers to the district boycotting T-shirts displaying a play on the famous Shakespeare line “2(b) of not 2(b)?” on the front, while referencing text from Section 2 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, including 2(b) free-dom of expression on the back.

“In considering the Shake-spearean questions posed on the front of the T-shirt, the school board has evidently decided that “not 2(b) is the answer. That answer is not only wrong, but is in violation of Canada’s constitution,” read the let-ter signed by Lyster.

Although the Prince Rupert board of education wasn’t allowed to discuss the actual T-shirt inci-dent, as it is under grievance, they did talk about the letter at the Feb. 13 board meeting.

Trustee Barb Gruber called the letter “a piece of garbage”, saying a third party had no business writing the letter.

Tina Last, chair of the Prince Rupert board of education, said she didn’t like the tone of the letter.

“I agree with a Canadian’s rights, we live in Canada we know what they are. I also believe in re-spect. But just reading that letter, there’s so much disrespect,” Last said.

“I’m not offended by her want-

ing to discuss what she sees as a vi-olation of [the constitution]… I’m offended with how she went about the letter,” she said, adding her-self or the superintendent could’ve been contacted directly about the matter.

While the BCCLA letter warned the district to reverse the ban before it’s brought to court and to be mindful of the Charter in the future, the board of education chose not to respond to the letter.

“The letter was not commu-nicated very nicely, I think it was probably written in a haste and in anger but by responding to it we’re just keeping this going. We don’t settle anything by responding,” said Trustee Janet Beil.

Five Prince Rupert teachers were told to remove or cover the T-shirts in question at the end of Jan-uary, following the district receiv-ing national attention for deeming a quote from Dr. Seuss’s Yertle the Turtle too political for classrooms in 2012.

1953 - 2013Kitimat Celebrates 60 years

Kitimat’s iconic Delta King is a ship with a story to tell. Even though

it rested on our shores for a scant seven years, it was present for some of the most important days of our history.

The Delta King, a 285 foot (87 meter) vessel, was parked on shore at Hospital Beach for the better part of the 1950s, right through the start-up of the Alcan/Kemano project.

The Delta King arrived here on May 8th, 1952 after a three week journey, under tow from San Francisco. The 30 year old veteran riverboat had been stripped of its paddlewheel and steam engine. After purchase by Kitimat Contractors, it was modified for maximum accommodation. Although it was built for 400, it never housed more than 250 souls.

The ship’s boiler and generator supplied heat and power to the ship. At the time of the ship’s arrival in 1952, the

The Delta King: A Ship with a History

Kitimat project was well into year two of construction.

The ship was floated in at high tide, into a man-made trench, and as the tide receded, it was cut off from the sea with rock and gravel. It remained land-locked for its entire service in Kitimat.

Its location was prime, at the centre of action where a whole new community grew up. Close to the airplane ramp, lumbering amphibious Grumman-Goose transports like, Pacific Western Airway’s Kitimat Prince would deliver more workers and also, close by at the dock, passengers would disembark from ships like the Princess Norah. The hospital, Smelter Site School, the Post Office, the bank, the Hudson Bay Store and more, were all within walking distance.

More than 10,000 people worked on the Alcan Project. At any one time, the valley’s three other camps, had to house

5,000 workers. The Delta King only got a small percentage of the lodgers.

Life aboard the Delta King with its grand staircase, wood carving, and classy appearance must have been a step up from other dormitory situations. In one of its 1956 editions, National Geographic Magazine featured Kitimat and included a picture of a bachelor’s cabin life on the Delta King. Unfortunately, summers at Hospital Beach could be deadly with their wicked doses of horseflies. The

channel views from the many balconies were certainly a bonus though. By 1959, Kitimat was largely complete, and there was no longer a role for the Delta King, so it was no surprise when Alcan sold the old ship and it was towed back down the channel. Many people were nostalgic

with its departure on that dreary April morning. It certainly was a boat that left its mark on our corner of the northwest.

Interestingly, at 90, the Delta King lives on. It is currently parked on the riverfront in Sacramento California. After recent renovations, it houses a theatre, two restaurants, and a hotel.

The old ship has lived a colourful life. It and its sister ship the Delta Queen were built at the Clyde shipyards in Glasgow in 1922 then shipped to San

Francisco, where their pieces were welded into place. In the course of nine decades, the Delta King saw service on the Sacramento River in California and the Hudson River in New York. During WWII, it was requisitioned by the navy for troop transport around the Bay area. The boat endured a sinking on April 3rd 1981. Fortunately, most of the bow end carving and original woodwork, survived without damage. The Delta King was also featured in the movies; in the 1960 filming of Huck Finn. In 1978 our ship the Delta King was added to the U.S.A.’s list of Historic Places.

The Delta King remains special in the memories of many Kitimat pioneers. Its name lives on in Kitimat’s assisted living facility, the Delta King Place. Some residents of that facility have fond memories of our iconic paddle-wheeler.

Council hears request for vaccine supportBy Cameron OrrTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

KITIMAT - A local woman and a di-rector for MeningitisBC.org has urged Kitimat Council to back calls for the inclusion of more comprehensive meningitis vaccines to students.

Janet Munro made the argument to council, and said she wants to see vac-cinations for youth between 16 and 18 years old, the peak time when the bac-teria can be transmitted.

Munro lost one of her sons to meningitis unexpectedly in 2011. She said that her son, 23-year-old Bradley Munro, was found dead in his bathtub in his apartment in Kamloops, where he was attending Thompson Rivers University.

He was found by some classmates and a professor.

It was later discovered he suc-cumbed to the Y strain of meningitis and that after extensive research, Ja-net discovered that only the C strain is commonly protected through vac-cines, while vaccines to cover the ma-jority of the other strains is available at cost.

“Not once were we told that this vaccine was available.

For him to die so sick and alone is beyond gut wrenching,” she told coun-cil.

She said that while statistics show that only 1 in 10,000 people contract the illness, nearly a quarter of young adults are carriers for the bacteria, which is why she wants to see that age

group protected.Her request to council was for

them to promote her cause through other levels of municipal govern-ment — namely the North Central Lo-cal Government Association and the Union of B.C. Municipalities — and also assist meningitisbc.org in apply-ing for grants, and receipting charita-ble donations on behalf of them while they away their own charitable status.

Councillors were supportive of her cause. Mario Feldhoff said the fact that B.C. doesn’t have this vaccination program already “seems to be out of step.”

A motion passed for the District of Kitimat submit resolutions to NCL-GA and UBCM to solicit support for meningitis vaccination programs, and also to assist them in applying for grants.

While a motion was not directly passed to issue tax receipts for charita-ble donations on their behalf, staff was asked to report back on if such a task was possible from them.

The Kitimat Hospital Foundation or the Kitimat Community Founda-tion were suggested as other bodies to provide similar services, but their help may rest on this group receiving their charitable status, which is forthcom-ing.

The District of Kitimat has pro-vided receipts in the past, notably on behalf of the Looking for Love Animal Shelter Society, the group which cam-paigned and fundraised for the con-struction of a new animal shelter.

Cultural exchange opportunityMiddle school students now

have an opportunity to enjoy the spoils of Italy with a cultural exchange program through the Mount Elizabeth Middle Sec-ondary School.

The program will put stu-

dents into Italian homes, and program coordinators are focus-ing on ensuring First Nations students get involved with the program as well.

The community is Trento in northern Italy, while the school

itself is in nearby Pergine. The exchange would last about two weeks.

Those interested can call the Kitimat District Teachers Asso-ciation’s president Reid Nelson at 250-632-3709.

Lure of northwest anglingcatches up with U.S. manBy Anna KillenTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

TERRACE - An American caught pre-tending to be a B.C. resident while � shing for steelhead in the Skeena re-gion has been barred from � shing in the province and heavily � ned after pleading guilty to three counts of mak-ing false statements to obtain B.C. res-ident angling licences.

Charles Gentry, a U.S. citizen, was convicted Jan. 22 and ordered to pay $4,375 in � nes. He is also prohibited from applying for any B.C. angling licences and angling anywhere in the province for two years.

The Northwest Conservation Ser-vice Of� ce began investigating Gen-try last year after being tipped off from the public that he was purporting to be a B.C. resident while � shing in the Skeena during the summer and fall months.

“We had a member of the public contact our dispatch. They said he was an American and they suspected he’d been � shing as a B.C. resident because of how often he was going out. So we looked into it and con� rmed all of that stuff,” said north coast zone conser-vation of� cer Gareth Scrivner, noting that Gentry had been faking residency for nearly half a decade to avoid pay-ing for expensive non-resident angling fees.

Non-residents need to pay be-tween $20 and $40 a day to � sh steel-head here, depending on the classi� -cation of the river, but residents only have to pay $15 for the whole year.

“He was just abusing the resource here, taking a resource like he’s a local person, but for an American it’s pretty much impossible to be a resident,” said Scrivner, noting that Gentry had been � shing almost daily in the months that he was in Terrace.

“He’s a big time � sherman. Some-

times it’s hard to realize just how pas-sionate some � shermen are. He pretty much moved to the area just for � sh-ing. He had some money, kind of took an early retirement, moved to the area for part of the year just to � sh, and then would go back to the states when the weather started getting pretty rough and so would stay down there and then come back up to go � shing again.”

Cases of non-residents claiming to be B.C. residents are a problem in this area because of the incredible � shing opportunities, said Scrivner.

“Local people have great access to the resource, and it’s a world-class re-source,” he said.

“I lived in the U.K. before moving here, in a similar � eld, and my associ-ates and friends would just love to be able to � sh here and it’s just not afford-able or possible for a lot of those folks to come here and do that.”

And since the licencing system moved online a few years ago, it’s even easier for people to claim residency.

“Instead of going to a tackle store and buying your licence you can buy it online on a government site,” he said. “So it makes it a little bit easier for guys to claim that they’re a B.C. resi-dent because they’re not having to lie to folks face-to-face.”

To tackle this abuse, conservation of� cers are more diligent when check-ing licences out on the river.

“We don’t want to treat everyone like they’ve done something wrong,” he said. “But if we have a suspicion that someone might not necessarily be from B.C. then we might ask a few more questions.”

And Scrivner notes that the whole investigation started from information from the public.

“It shows how important it is for folks to call stuff in,” he said. “He thought he could get away with it.”

Northwest jobs picture starts to pick upBy Staff ReporterTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

TERRACE - The north-west B.C. employment picture continues to brighten slightly with 39,700 people working in January 2013, an in-crease over the 39,200 � gure for December 2012.In all, 42,900 people in January considered themselves part of the labour force wheth-er they were working or not, a rise from the 42,700 � gure the month previous.The employment in-crease was suf� cient to drop the jobless rate to 7.5 per cent in January compared to Decem-ber 2012’s rate of 8.2 per cent and November 2012’s rate of 8.5 per cent.The number of un-

employed dropped to 3,200, better than De-cember 2012’s 3,500 � gure and the 3,600 tally for November 2012.January’s jobless rate was enough to pull the northwest out of its tra-ditional last place spot among regions in the province. That distinc-tion now belongs to the Kootenays which had a

jobless rate for January of 7.8 per cent.Across BC, employ-ment fell by 16,000 in January, and the unem-ployment rate was 6.3 per cent, reports Statis-tics Canada. With this decline, employment in the province returned to a level similar to that of 12 months earlier.In percentage terms,

the northwest’s January 2013 jobless rate of 7.5 per cent is better than the January 2012 � gure of 11.6 per cent.

Employment in northwestern BC is ex-pected to improve in the

next years based on the development of mines and other projects stem-ming from the com-pletion of BC Hydro’s Northwest Transmission Line up Hwy37 North from Terrace.


Results from the 54th annual All Native Basketball Tournament

Skidegate Saints repeat with win over Kitkatla WarriorsBy Shaun ThomasThe NorTherN coNNecTor

PRINCE RUPERT - The Kitkatla War-riors were largely untouchable as they walked through the competition to earn a spot in the Seniors Division final, where they met up with the defending champion Skidegate Saints.

After losing to Kitkatla in their first game of the tournament, Skide-gate enjoyed a small lead in the early going, and the two set the stage for a competitive game with a first quar-ter that ended 16-14 in favour of the Saints.

The second got underway amid battling chants of “Go Warriors Go!” and “Go Saints Go!”Despite the encouraging chants, nei-ther team could pull away and the game was tied at 23 through five minutes of play. At the half Kitkatla led by a single basket, 32-30.

Skidegate retook the lead in the third and were up 45-41 through five minutes. An 11-0 run by the defending champions widened the gap 52-41 with 90 seconds on the clock, and Skidegate took a 52-46 lead into the fourth quarter.

Kitkatla narrowed the gap to 57-56 with five minutes to play, setting up an exciting finish. As the clock wound down and the chanting grew louder, the Saints took a 68-61 lead into the final 90 seconds. Passing the ball and running out the clock, Skidegate was able to claim its second straight Seniors title with a 69-63 win.

“It is an unreal feeling. No words can describe what I feel right now. They are a very tough team, but we worked hard for this, playing seven games and coming through the losers bracket,” said Rid-

ley Player of the Game Darcy Pearson.

“All of our family and fans are go-ing to be very happy to get our trophy back.”

Saints head coach Dave Wahl said he was impressed with both his squad and the Warriors.

“There is a lot of talent out there on both sides... It is just two great teams competing. We have a team with a lot of experience and I am looking for-ward to a lot of great Skidegate-Kit-katla matches in the years ahead,” he said.

After the game fans from both teams flooded the court and per-formed a song from their nation as the players danced. Following that, drum-mers, fans and players from Kitkatla and Skidegate joined together for a

song. Ahousat finished third and Bella Bella finished

fourth. The Kitkatla Warriors were named the Most Sportsmanlike Team.

Skidegate’s Desi Collinson picked up his sec-ond straight MVP trophy and was the tournament high scorer with 145 points over seven games, Ja-cob Thom of Kitkatla was named Best Defen-sive Player and Most Inspirational Player, Matt Gladstone of Skidegate was given the Sixth Man award and Tyler York of Skidegate was named Mr. Hustle.

Tournament all-stars included Tyler York and Darcy Pearson of Skidegate, Charlie Lee-son and Joey Lewis of Kitkatla, Luke Robin-son and Jeremy Sam of Ahousat, Shawn Glad-stone and Jay Gladish of Bella Bella, Sean Holland of Vancouver and Justin Adams of Kincolith.

Haisla Pride come from behind to win Intermediate titleBy Shaun ThomasThe NorTherN coNNecTor

PRINCE RUPERT - The defending champion Ahousat Intermediates met some familiar compe-tition in the finals of the 54th All Native Basketball Tournament in the form of the Haisla Pride of Kita-maat.

After trading leads in the early going, Kita-maat was up 9-7 through five minutes of play. The two teams kept pace for the remainder of the quarter, which ended 13-11 in favour of the Haisla.

Ahousat came out firing on all cylinders in the second, quickly wiping out the Kitamaat lead and turning it into a score of 24-18 in their fa-vour through five minutes of play. Kitamaat went on a 13-4 run late in the quarter to regain the lead and the half finished with the Haisla up 34-31.

That back and forth continued in the third, with Ahousat leading 41-37 through five minutes. When the buzzer sounded to end the third, Ahousat held a six-point 53-47 lead.

But the game was far from over — a Kitamaat surge early on put them back in the lead and the two teams would battle for every basket. The game was tied at 59 midway through the quarter, but a 6-2 run put Ahousat in the driver’s seat with 1:25 to play. After a three pointer to pull within one and some strong defence, a foul sent Darren Metz to the line where he went two for two to give the Haisla a 68-67 lead with 32 seconds left. When the Haisla pulled down the rebound on a missed Greg Charlie three-

pointer the crowd erupted, and when Dustin Knaus was fouled and sank both his free throws, the sound was deafening. When the final buzzer sounded, fans rushed the floor to celebrate a 70-67 Kitamaat win.

“It feels gratifying. These boys have put years of hard work to deal with this type of pressure in close, tight games,” said Haisla coach Mike Ridsdale, who said in the end the win could be attributed to “time”.

“The time just ran out when we happened to be in the lead. It was a back and forth game, we were up, they were up. Ahousat is a very talented team, they won it last year and made it to the final so you really have to give it to them.”

The Friendship House Cubs finished third and Bella Bella finished fourth. Kitamaat was named Most Sportsmanlike Team.

Darren Metz of Kitamaat was named MVP and was the tournament high scorer with an average of 21.8 points per game over seven games, Jeremy Nyce of Kitamaat was named Best Defensive Player, Chad Duncan of Kitamaat was given the Sixth Man award, Jordan Gladstone of Bella Bella was named Most Promising Player and Greg Charlie of Ahousat was named both Mr. Hustle and Most Inspirational Player.

Tournament all-stars included Dustin Knaus and Jeremy Nyce of Kitamaat, Bean Campbell and Jay-len Charleson of Ahousat, Glen Blandov and David Stewart Jr. of the Friendship House, Jordan Glad-stone and Howard Duncan of Bella Bella, Josh Den-nis of Port Simpson and Joel Richardson of Skide-gate.

“All of our family and fans are going to be happy to have our trophy back.”

Results from the 54th annual All Native Basketball Tournament

Nanaimo Spirit take second straight Women’s Division titleBy Shaun ThomasThe NorTherN coNNecTor

PRINCE RUPERT - The undefeat-ed Metlakatla Crest were looking for their eighth Women’s Division title as they tipped off with the defending champions from Na-naimo in the finals of the 54th All Native Basketball Tournament.

Neither squad was able to pull away early, with Nanaimo lead-ing 9-8 midway through the first, but the chants of “Go Met Go” left little doubt who the crowd favou-rite was. The two teams continued to battle back and forth, and at the end of the quarter Metlakatla led 15-12.

Five minutes into the second the Nanaimo Spirit had begun to find their championship form, leading 28-21. As the buzzer sounded to end the first half, it was still anybody’s game with a score of 31-29.

The players on the court seemed to have an an-swer for whatever was thrown their way, with a single Nanaimo basket separating them five min-utes later. Heading into the final quarter, Metlakatla trailed by just two, 45-43, ensuring an exciting con-clusion.

As the clock wound down, the fans only got louder for every basket, foul and rebound. Met-lakatla began to pull away, much to the delight of the pro-Crest crowd, and led 59-52 with just five minutes left on the clock. Stifling Nanaimo de-fence, though, resulted in a 63-61 Nanaimo lead with two minutes to go. A pass intercepted by Lata-sha Brlecic of Metlakatla with just 30 to go end-ed up sending Felicia Blandov to the line with 15 seconds on the clock, but Blandov couldn’t get the

ball to drop and a shot off the rim gave Nanaimo their second straight Women’s title.

“That was the best comeback we have ever had in the tournament... It feels amazing,” said a tearful Brittany Williams, who was named MVP and Ridley Terminals Player of the Game.

Nanaimo coach Kevin Robin-son said the key to the win was keep-ing Metlakatla off the board late in the game.

“We stress defence. We don’t care about scoring as long as we can keep the other team down,” he said.

“I promised myself I wouldn’t get as excited this year, but this win feels even better. Especially to win it like that... What an awesome game.”

The North Pacific Rain finished third and Bella Coola finished fourth.

Nanaimo was also named the Most Sportsmanlike Team.

Judy Carlick-Pearson of Metlakatla was named Best Defensive Player, Denise Wilson of Metlakatla was named Most Inspirational Play-er, Heather Charleson of Nanaimo was given the Sixth Woman award, Kailee Gardner of Kitamaat was named Most Promising Player and Shay-la Schooner of Bella Coola was named Ms. Hus-tle and Katelyn Smart of the North Pacific Rain was the high scorer with 106 points in seven games.

Tournament all-stars included Jeannine Adams and Jolene Nagy of Nanaimo, Judy Carlick-Pear-son and Neely Humperville of Metlakatla, Kai-tlyn Smart and Kristen Helin of the Rain, Shayla Schooner and Angel Mack of Bella Coola, Yvonne Campbell of Greenville and Marlayna Amos of Kitamaat.

Massett takes first championship with win over Bella BellaBy Shaun ThomasThe NorTherN coNNecTor

PRINCE RUPERT - After win-ning two of the last three tourna-ments, the Bella Bella Masters were looking to return to the top of the division against a Massett squad seeking their first Masters crown.

The two teams proved evenly matched in the early going, with Mas-sett leading by one midway through the first and leading 26-21 at the end of the first.

Bella Bella chipped away at that lead though, trailing 32-31 five minutes into the second. Strong rebounding and spot-on shooting from Massett put them back in command as the Haida team took a five-point, 40-35 into the second half.

Massett opened strong in the third, going on an 11-5 run to lead 51-40 halfway through as duel-ling chants of “Go Nation Go” and “Go Haida Go” filled the gym. With one quarter to play Bella Bella found themselves with a lot of ground to make up, trailing 65-52.

The Massett momentum continued in the fourth frame, as Massett extended their lead to 19 points just two minutes in and led 77-58 with five minutes left in the game. From there the result was academ-ic, as Massett took the banner back to Haida Gwaii with an 88-73 victory as song and drumming filled

the air and the players danced their dance of their clan.

“It feels great to bring the cham-pionship to Massett... It was tight in the beginning because they are such good shooters. We knew we had to work hard and tire them out so it wouldn’t be as easy for them to make those shots,” said Abe Brown of Massett, the MVP and Ridley Player of the Game for the finals.

“Bella Bella has 15 champion-ships between guys like Mitch Martin and Cliff Starr and Mike Reid and so on. I really take my hat off to Bella Bella, they are such a tough team.”

Prince Rupert finished third and Kitkatla finished fourth. Massett was also named Most Sportsmanlike Team.

As well as being named MVP, Brown was named Best Defensive Player. Cliff Starr of Bel-la Bella was named Most Inspirational Player and the tournament high scorer with an average of 25.2 points per game, David Hill of Massett was named Mr. Hustle and Sonny Henry of Prince Rupert was given the Sixth Man award.

Tournament all-stars included David Hill and Robert Williams of Massett, Mitch Mar-tin and Mike Reid of Bella Bella, Will Shep-pard and Brady Johnston of Prince Rupert, Gar-net Hill and Greg McKay of Kitkatla, Vern Stephens of Greenville and Tracy Tait of New Aiyansh.

“This win feel even better. Especially to win it like that... What an awesome game.”

Seabridge Gold has now submitted the Environmental Assessment (EA) Application and Environmental Im-pact Statement (EIS) for its KSM Project (located 65 kilometres northwest of Stewart). This milestone comes seven years after the company began work on KSM in 2006; the journey through the EA process – used by the Federal and Provincial Governments to review projects to determine their environmental, social and economic im-pacts – began for the project in 2008. The KSM Project EA Application refl ects years of explora-tory drilling; detailed scientifi c, technical and heritage research and fi eldwork; and expenditures of more than $146 million dollars, 80 percent of which have been in British Columbia (BC).Resource development drives the BC and Canadian econ-omies, and the proposed KSM Project – with its 52-year mine life, potential multi-generation employment for thousands, and huge economic impacts at community, regional, provincial and federal levels – represents an important opportunity for many. And, while today every-one seems to have an opinion on the development of Can-ada’s natural resources, it’s important to remember that the environmental review process ensures development does not come at any cost. “If you look back over time, in Canada, carefully designed projects are given the go-ahead to proceed,” says Rudi Fronk, Seabridge Chairman and Chief Executive Offi cer. “Not only because they are technically and sci-entifi cally feasible, but because they are environmentally sound and socially responsible. This is the only way re-source development can take place today.”For the KSM Project, Seabridge pulled together a team of employees, consultants and contractors with the know-ledge and experience needed to design a great technical project. And, from the beginning, the company has been committed to submitting an application for KSM that

refl ects feedback from the Nisga’a Nation and First Nations, the project’s Working Group, and input provided by members of local communities who’ve taken the time to attend events, meetings, community summits and ca-reer fairs to learn more about the project. Like many major industrial developments, the KSM Pro-ject requires a joint provincial and federal EA. This means the BC Environmental Assessment Offi ce and the Can-adian Environmental Assessment Agency will review the KSM EA Application and make recommendations to their respective minsters about whether or not to issue an EA Certifi cate for the project. Provincial and federal regula-tors, Aboriginal groups and the general public participate in the review too. Seabridge will also be involved, pre-

senting information about as-pects of the project and being available to answer questions from reviewers.The review process will take time. The proposed KSM Pro-ject is large, and the detailed, 25,000-page application refl ects Seabridge’s commitment to re-sponsible development. “Years of hard work, expertise and resources have gone into advancing the project to where it is today and we are very proud of the work done by our person-

nel and our fi rst-class team of consultants,” continues Fronk. “Thanks are also due to the KSM Working Group and other stakeholders, whose contributions through the consultation process have helped improve the design of the project, including some innovative, industry-leading responses to evolving standards in areas such as water quality.” Fronk concludes, “Everyone’s participation and input has resulted in what we consider to be a strong application for a technically and environmentally feasible project. We look forward to a timely and fair review of our EA applica-tion / EIS submission, and will continue to work coopera-tively and closely with all those involved, as we enter this next stage in the KSM Project’s development.”

BC Ferries to pay less in taxBy Tom FletcherThe NorTherN coNNecTor

PRINCE RUPERT - The City of Prince Rupert will be receiving $15,780 less in taxes from BC Ferries this year.

The B.C. government has settled a dispute that had gone to court over the assessment for tax purpos-es of BC Ferries’ 49 ferry terminals, after an assess-ment appeal board reduced the value of the Horse-shoe Bay property to a nominal amount.

BC Ferries has been appealing the assessment value of its terminals since 2010, trying to reduce the level of municipal tax it pays for land that has few other uses than the current one. The decision to slash the value of the Horseshoe Bay land took the govern-ment and BC Ferries by surprise, said Bill Bennett, minister of community, sport and cultural develop-ment.

Bennett announced Thursday that a negotiated settlement has been reached to retain most of the property tax income from BC Ferries to municipali-ties. The agreement reduces the assessed value of the Horseshoe Bay land by 12.4 per cent. Most others have their assessed value reduced by about 20 per cent.


GATEWAYperspectives

Over the last few months, I’ve talked about the precautions, the safety measures, and the selection criteria involved in the marine elements of the Gateway project — all of them intended to prevent an oil spill on water. I’ve also discussed how Gateway’s marine safety program was examined by an independent risk assessment group, which determined that the chances of a major spill are once in more than 15,000 years.

Although statistics and reports suggest a marine oil spill is unlikely, you want to know — what if one does occur? How will Gateway be prepared? While the chances are slim, we continue to develop a world-class marine response program.

The Northern Gateway Project includes a spill response capacity that’s more than three times the Canadian regulation. And while the Canadian requirement for oil spill response is 72 hours plus travel time, our response time will be a fraction of that number — 6 to 12 hours in the marine channels. This is a signifi cant increase to the response capability available to B.C.’s north coast. Additionally, for immediate response, our tug escorts will be

equipped with booms, oil skimmers, and fi refi ghting equipment to provide enhanced initial containment, and they will be available to all marine traffi c in the event of an incident.

We will store equipment, such as containment and absorbent booms, skimmers, and waste storage, in multiple well-maintained, readily accessible response bases, providing a wider area of coverage in a shorter amount of time. Barges will also be located throughout the marine channels for additional storage and equipment mobilization. We are committed to having staff, contractors, and partners in place to maintain that enhanced state of readiness.

The Gateway project will likely never see a major marine oil spill. But if it does, we’ll be prepared to protect our coastline.

They’re feeling squeezed outBy Staff WriterTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

TERRACE - Meet Gen-eration Squeeze, de� ned as those under 45 years of age.

Dr. Paul Kershaw from UBC will be in Terrace, Monday, Feb. 25 to talk about a gov-ernment spending im-balance that affects peo-ple under the age of 45.

“Governments spend just $12,000 on bene� ts and services per Cana-dian under 45, compared to nearly $45,000 for ev-ery retiree,” reads pro-motional material being circulated for Dr. Ker-shaw’s appearance.

“This spending im-balance persists even though high home prices squeeze generations un-der age 45 with crushing debt, which they must pay with wages that have fallen compared to a generation ago, and in jobs that rarely contrib-ute pensions. This is not a good deal if you are under 45,” reads the ma-terial.

Dr. Kershaw will talk about safeguarding medical care and retire-ment security without sacri� cing present and future generations, the material adds.

Kershaw will be speaking at a luncheon at the NWCC longhouse from 11:30 am to 1:30 pm on Feb. 25. Manag-ers and decision makers are welcome.

Those attending were to have registered by Feb. 20 at www.terrace-children.org. There is no cost.

There is also an eve-ning gathering at the El-ephant’s Ear starting at 7 pm. on Feb. 25.

This one is particu-larly meant for parents and those under 45 but open to anyone as well.

Local sponsors in-clude Success by 6 and Northwest Community College.

Four legends enter Hall of FameBy Shaun ThomasThe NorTherN coNNecTor

PRINCE RUPERT - Prince Ru-pert’s own Billy Robinson, Rod Bolton and Bill Wilson of Kita-maat and the late Andy Peers Sr. Joined the best-of-the-best of the All Native Basketball Tournament on Friday night as they were inducted into the Hall of Fame during a center-court ceremony.

Robinson coached the NBA Beavers to four consecutive In-termediate Division titles from 1976 to 1979, a streak that re-mains the longest in the divi-sions history, as well as a fifth banner in 1981. Before coach-ing, he played for the Prince Rupert Chiefs, Hartley Bay, Sunnyside and Port Simpson and picked up an all-star se-

lection every year from 1962 to 1966. After accepting his plaque and jacket, the often quiet Robinson passed the mi-crophone to daughter Jill Mac-Neill to address the crowd.

“My father is extremely proud to be inducted into the All Native Tournament Hall of Fame... And I am extremely proud of all of my father’s ac-complishment’s,” said an emo-tional MacNeill.

Another inductee with a history behind the bench and on the court was Bill Wilson of Kitamaat. After playing in the early 1960s, Wilson moved on to coach the Haisla Intermedi-ates to a division championship in 1975 and was the coach for five of the six Senior Division banners won during the Haisla Dynasty from 1975 to 1979.

“It is an honour to be stand-ing here, out of all people in all places. It has been a great jour-ney – I have had some stum-bling blocks but kept pushing forward,” he said.

“Standing here before you I am very thankful... It has been awesome.”

Another key component of the Haisla Dynasty, a team that was inducted en-masse in 2008 was Rod Bolton, though health issues kept him from attend-ing that ceremony. This year though, Wilson accepted his jacket, his plaque, and his place in the tournament’s history.

“I want to thank the Hais-la Nation for all of the support they have shown. It is you who have made the difference,” he said, adding that he continues to come to the tournament to

watch the games and catch up with old friends.

“Thank you so much for this evening, and God bless you all.”

The final inductee, sadly, couldn’t be in attendance for his induction. Andy Peers Sr. of the Heiltsuk Nation of Bella Bella passed away on Sept. 4, 2011 after a career that includ-ed playing in the tournament, coaching the Bella Bella Inter-mediates to a championship in 1974, attending the tournament for more than 50 years and shaping Heiltsuk greats like three-time Masters MVP Mitch Martin and fellow Hall of Fam-er Cliff Starr Jr. Andy’s family accepted his plaque and jacket to the applause of every person in the Russell Gamble Gymna-sium.

The Kitimat Ice Demons were knocked out of the playoffs by the Smithers Steelheads on February 16.

Ice Demons knocked out of the playoffs By Contributed THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

KITIMAT - The Kitimat Ice De-mons were out-played, out-shot, out-muscled and knocked out of the CIHL playoffs in game two of the western semi-� nal, as the Steel-heads showed why they’d won the league regular season titled in each of the last two years.

They played all 60 minutes at a tingling pace, keeping the Demons off stride throughout on February 16.

Using a commanding puck-pos-session game and operating in fast overdrive, the Steelheads prevented the Demons from getting into sec-ond gear, out-shooting them 17-4 in the � rst period, when rookie goal-tender Tyson Craven stood tall in the net, making all 17 saves.

The Demons got one past the Steelhead goalie, arch nemesis Mike Wall, eight-and-a-half min-utes into the game, with Josh Slani-na sliding a cross-ice puck under Wall in the crease.

Assists were awarded to Jeff Mildenberger and Ian Coleman.

The lead held up into the second period when Adam Devries took advantage of a good play by Dar-ryl Young to � nally beat Craven at 3:06 of the second after Ian Smith stripped a Kitimat forward of the puck and turned the direction of the play.

Referee Kory Martens kept the game in tight control, while letting both clubs skate. But the Demons took two extra penalties, one by Brandon Wakita with a high stick

just a minute or so after the tying goal.

Then Smithers, as they have in both semi-� nal playoff games, made them pay just 38 seconds later

with Randall Groot getting the last touch in a tic-tac-toe play for the � rst of three power play goals in the game, two by Groot.

Assists on Groot’s � rst went to

Josh Aspenlind and Ryan Devries.Back on the power play exactly

10 minutes later, with Kitimat’s Jon Aiken serving two for a slash and a misconduct for arguing with ref-eree Martens, Darryl Young (Ryan Devries) slapped a rebound puck behind Craven, after several good saves.

The Steelheads added to their total with a 4-1 goal in the � nal minute of the period on a two man breakaway that ended with Ryan Green scoring cleanly on Craven with a Kitimat defender tangled in the Smithers end with two home players.

The Ice Demons played a little better in the third period, but could still only manage eight shots at Wall, while Craven handled 14 as Steelheads ran up a total of 45.

The 18 shots could be among the lowest number in the Ice De-mons’ history, but was a credit to the complete game played by the Steelheads.

Craven’s heroics in net deserved a better � nale as as a scoreless third period wound down, Spencer Brooks hefted a clearance into the Demons’ end with 19 seconds to go only to see the puck bouncing off the lively boards past limping Kyle Boudreault and directly to incom-ing Randall Groot, who buried it be-hind a surprised Craven for a � nal score of 5-1, with just 18 seconds left in the game.

58th annual Terrace Legion Bonspiel a success Contributed THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

TERRACE - The last weekend in January saw 26 rinks from throughout the Northwest gather at the Curling Club and the Legion in Terrace for a fun-� lled weekend and to compete for trophies and prizes for the 58th consecutive year.

The winner of the A Event and the Ken Austin Memorial Trophy sponsored by Branch #13 was the Kurisu rink from Terrace with skip, Clayton Kurisu, Third, Dennis Fugere, Second, Malcolm Smith and Lead Malte Juergewen.

Jamie Austin was home for the event and with his rink of Chad Sallenback, Warren Copeland and Kelly Sallenback who were the winners of B Event and the Bud Kirkaldy Me-morial Trophy sponsored by MacCarthy Motors.

The Mitch Grif� th Rink with Sylvia Grif� th at Third, Heinz Gunter playing Second and Lynne Gunter at Lead walked away with the Peter Barnett Memorial Trophy, Spon-sored by Chances for C Event.

D Event and the Steve Kutenics Memorial Trophy, spon-sored by Canadian Tire was won by the Kevin Jeffery Rink with Rob Phillips at Third, Ken Dahms playing Second and Chris Houston at Lead.

“Everyone agreed that it was a great week end and good times were had,” said the Legion’s spokesperson Mary Ann Misfeldt.

“The kudos for this go to many people but in particular Fern George and her committee, the Terrace Curling Club, whose relationship with Branch #13 has always been deeply valued, Donna’s Kitchen Staff, the Trophy Sponsors, Chris Gair and the many local businesses who contributed as they have for 58 years. Special thanks to all the curlers who came for the event.”
