Son recalls parents’ wartime meetingBy Josh MasseyTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

TERRACE - Kitwanga is one of the places on the list when Peter Crompton from Branch 13 of the Royal Canadian Legion here be-gins organizing the poppy distribution campaign in smaller north-western communities early each fall.

There he finds Alex Morgan who looks after the poppy cam-paign in that village and the surrounding area east of Terrace.

Morgan has a story of ties with the Second World War – a story that illustrates the power of love and war and the value of remem-brance.

Alex’s parents, Lavender and Raymond, met in Europe and it was one of those love-at-first-sight encounters between nurse and wounded soldier.

Raymond, who was of Gitxsan decent (his birth certificate re-cords his place of birth as “Skeena River”) was one of many vol-unteer soldiers who left the B.C. northwest to fight for the Allies largely because of their values, says Alex.

Like Raymond, a good number of volunteers from the northwest were First Nations and a number were killed overseas and never returned.

Alex says his father didn’t speak a whole lot about his service, which is fairly common among war vets, but his body showed the marks of wartime conflict: He was mostly deaf in one ear, and had one arm shorter than the other after having reconstructive surgery to shattered bone.

“He went into the North African conflict then up into the Medi-terranean into Italy and Greece,” Alex recounts. “He was driving a Bren gun carrier that has tracks on the back and wheels on front, he was the driver and he was blown up in Italy and there were four of them, all who died except for him.”

Raymond was then sent to a hospital in England where he met Lavender and their transcontinental romance began to bloom.

When Lavender, a young Scottish woman with bright red hair and an adventurous streak, set off by boat with scores of other war brides from England in 1944, she soon discovered she was risking her life to be with Raymond who had travelled separately to Van-couver for treatment at Shaughnessy Hospital.

From the ship’s deck Lavender saw other vessels getting sunk by German U-boats.

Alarms would sound in the night and passengers had to rush to the emergency boats.

Surviving the ocean voyage, Lavender made it to Halifax and then, after an administrative delay, took a one-week train ride across Canada by steam engine, followed by a two-day journey, also by train, north to Kitwanga.

She had been in touch by mail with her new Gitxsan mother-in-law, Martha Morgan, and knew that Kitwanga was a tiny town of 200.

But according to Alex, who now recounts the story of his par-ents to school classes in the area around this time of year, Lavender wasn’t prepared for the grand welcome she received by the local brass band.

“She told me, when she got off the train and saw the crowd of people playing instruments, she turned around to see if there was someone behind her coming off the train who would be honoured,”

Alex said.As it turned out, the grand welcome was in fact for her – the

community honouring the arrival of Raymond’s wife from England.Born several years later, Alex and his sister Naomi moved with

the family to Houston where Raymond worked in forestry, before returning to Kitwanga in the 1980s.

Throughout that time the family became avid promoters of Re-membrance Day, visiting schools to share their story that shows the influence of the war in shaping their own lives and the society we know today.

“I can see they now put a face to Remembrance Day,” says Alex. “I will see students in the mall, and they will say, ‘ah, you came to our class and gave the poppies out.’”

Alex says that in the classes – at various aboriginal schools in Gitsegukla, Gitanyow and Kitwanga as well as public schools – he passes on the same messages that his parents did before they died – Raymond in 2001 and Lavender ten years later.

“We’d be out in the bush in 30 below, and he would say, ‘isn’t this just wonderful,’ and I used to look at him and tell him it’s cra-zy,” Alex recalls.

“‘We are alive and we’re free,’ he’d always say.”

Mill site back in legal turmoilBy Shaun ThomasTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - The debate surrounding ownership of Watson Is-land was thrust back into the spotlight last week with the owner of Sun Wave Forest Products calling the settlement agreement with the City of Prince Rupert “null and void”.

A declaration signed by Sun Wave For-est Products owner Ni Ritao, published in The Northern View on Oct. 28, says the agreement entered into by Sophia Liu on behalf of the company on Aug. 20, 2013 was done without his legal authorization.

“The arbitration or-der made on 25 Au-gust 2013 based on the above invalid settlement agreement is also null and void .... I raise se-rious objection to any conducts engaged based on the above void set-tlement agreement and related documents that harm our interests and hereby reserve my rights to further pursue lia-bility and prosecution through multiple chan-

nels including legal or media,” wrote Ni, who said efforts to undertake face-to-face discussions were unsuccessful.

“On 3 May 2015 I arrived in Canada with utmost sincerity in the hope of properly han-dling the issues in ques-tion through face-to-face communications and negotiation with all par-ties concerned, only to be denied entry into the country. Responsibility for obstacles and chal-lenges in communica-tion and in dealing with the related issues as a result thereof shall rest with Canada and not me.”

However, the City of Prince Rupert says the proper protocols were followed in reaching the deal and that evidence was provided to indicate Liu had the authority to reach the agreements in question.

“Sun Wave’s law-yers provided to the city a General Signing Au-thority, executed by Mr. Ni, that expressly grant-ed to Ms. Liu full au-thorization to execute and deliver on behalf of Sun Wave all documents

in relation to the settle-ment agreement and to do such further acts and things that Ms. Liu considered necessary in connection with the settlement. As such, the 2013 Settlement Agree-ment between Sun Wave Forest Products Limited and the City of Prince Rupert is legally bind-ing,” read a statement from the city, which notes work has been progressing on the site since then.

“For the past two years, both parties have taken steps to implement the 2013 Settlement Agreement, including the filing of the dismiss-als of all litigation that had been commenced by Sun Wave against the City and the discharge of the certificates of pending litigation that had been filed on title to the Watson Island lands. The City has been work-ing in good faith with Sun Wave’s representa-tives in Canada to com-ply with the terms and intent of the Agreement, and intends to continue to do so.”

The city awarded the contract to decommis-

sion the mill to the NRI Group in August of this year.

Kitimat shelter opensBy Cameron OrrTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

KITIMAT - The committee behind Kitimat’s Extreme Weather Shelter is happy to have the funding secured from BC Housing to re-open the facil-ity this year.

The shelter was formally opened November 1, and will run until March 31.

As was done last year the shelter will be running seven days a week, opening at 8 p.m. and closing at 8 a.m. the following morning.

In the shelter’s first year, when it operated in the Public Safety Build-ing, it would only be opened when the town declared extreme weather, which was a combination of factors including temperature and rain fall.

This year it will again run in the basement of the Kitimat Baptist Church.

To get the program going the shel-ter’s committee, operating formally under the Kitimat Child Development Centre, received funding of $64,000. That money will help go towards hir-ing staff who will work the shelter each night.

But the safety guidelines of the shelter means they want at least two people on-site each night, so the group is looking for interested people to as-sist in volunteering as well.

Training is provided to those who sign up.

Committee member Margaret Warcup says the need for a weather shelter is “a recognition our commu-nity has changed.”

Demand remains, she said, even if

Kitimat doesn’t have the same hous-ing pressures as it did last year during peak of the KMP construction. Rent prices do remain fairly high.

“There’s still people who can’t support the rents we have,” she said.

Taking lessons from last year, the operators will be looking for sock do-nations from the community — of course in addition to any time people can spare at the shelter too.

Trying to provide dry socks for people who spend their days outdoors was a nearly impossible task and pro-viding them made a big difference in users of the facility’s comfort.

Warcup says ultimately they still push a ‘Housing First’ initiative, which is a goal that every person should have a place to live. A shelter may be a stop-gap measure but they want all people to be able to find permanent accom-modation.

Last year, out of all the nights the shelter was opened, it was accessed for 58.

In total 98 beds were used, by 11 different clients.

Predicting needs is challenging. The group knows there are homeless people in the community but can’t pre-dict how many will use the shelter this year.

All users of the shelter were adults, while any children needing shelter were directed to the Tamitik Status of Women group.

Inquiries on volunteering or do-nating can be made either to the CDC at 250-632-3144 or the shelter’s cell phone at 250-279-0847.

Shelters elsewhere across B.C. have also opened for the cold season.

Pacific NorthWest LNG provides update on terminal plansBy Kevin CampbellTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - Last week, Paci� c North-West LNG provided an update to Prince Ru-pert city council about their proposed natural gas liquefaction and export facility on Lelu Is-land.

With the � rst of two conditions complet-ed, having gotten the Project Development Agreement legislation passed by the Legis-lative Assembly of British Columbia in July, head of corporate and stakeholder relations Tessa Gill provided council with the proce-dures required for gaining their second condi-tion – approval from the Government of Can-ada’s environmental assessment process.

“We’re still waiting on that, but every-thing else is in place and ready to go in terms of moving forward to the next stage of our project – construction,” said Gill last Monday night.

As Paci� c NorthWest (PNW) continues its investigative work, conducting marine geotechnical work with vessels and barges to take samples from the area, Gill assured council that no investigative work is taking place on Flora Bank. Late in the summer, oc-cupational protests from area First Nations in-terrupted the company’s work, opposing test drilling on Flora Bank, commonly known to be a vital salmon-spawning habitat.

“I want to make sure everybody is aware [that] we are not doing any work on Flora Bank whatsoever ... and there are some envi-ronmental monitors that sit with their vessels 24/7 to make sure that we are not disturbing anything, for example, eelgrass and we are doing [things] as per procedure and permits,”

said Gill.Fish studies, � sh habitat studies and mod-

elling work continues to inform the company on the best direction it should take regard-ing its marine infrastructure, all of which will have minimal impact on Flora Bank, contin-ued Gill.

“I think some people still have a miscon-ception that there is a causeway in the marine facilities. It is a construction that will allow the water to move underneath and around the facility, and it’s not on Flora Bank. We have a marine facility designed to be adjacent to Flo-ra Bank,” she said.

Having removed a major dredge from their original design, PNW is continu-ing to conduct intensive studies on � sh habitats.

“We’ve been conducting, for several months now, a � sh and � sh habitat monitor-ing program and its probably some of the

most extensive and detailed work that’s been conducted in the area for quite some time. So we’re going to be using those results to fur-ther inform our design of the facility and the construction processes to make sure there’s minimum interaction with the marine habitat and environment ... The results of those � sh studies and surveys will become public,” Gill said.

Modelling work that the company is un-dertaking includes water velocity, tidal and subtidal currents and its impact on Flora Bank.

“[The visual representations] give you an idea that any disturbance from [our] ma-rine infrastructure is very small, in the ranges that you see naturally across Flora Bank and we’ve got similar visual examples that shows the sediment disturbance from the marine in-frastructure is actually very minimal. It’s in a matter of millimetres,” said Gill.

Some questions that council had for the company included how talks were going with the Lax Kw’alaams First Nation, what a time-line may look like for the Canadian Environ-mental Assessment Agency to respond with their conditional project approval, and how many jobs would be created once the facility is constructed.

While Gill didn’t respond with details on speci� c discussions with Lax Kw’alaams, she mentioned that the company is engaged with all area First Nations and have different levels of conversation with each depending on what their levels of interest with the project are.

The stakeholder relations head also told council that while there is just over 100 days remaining on the CEAA regulatory clock to accept PNW’s submission, the timing of the decision is ultimately up to the regulator as to when they’re satis� ed with PNW’s informa-tion.

Provincial judges get retroactive pay boost

Kitimat presence at LNG conference

By Tom FletcherTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

VICTORIA - One group of employees that escaped the B.C. government’s caps on pay increases is the 155 provincial court judges.

The judges’ association has won a court challenge of a 1.5 per cent raise approved by the B.C. government for the � scal year ended in March 2014. The Supreme Court of Canada refused to hear the government’s appeal of an earlier decision to make the raise 4.9 per cent, plus an increase of the judges’ pension accrual rate from three to 3.5 per cent.

The cost of the retroactive raise is esti-mated at $2.67 million for that year alone. It remains to be seen if the judges will chal-lenge the one per cent increase approved for 2014-15, which brought their salaries to $236,950.

“This will have an impact on our � s-cal plan,” B.C. Justice Minister Suzanne

Anton told reporters. “And as you know government has been in an environment of balancing the budget, and part of our phi-losophy on that is that provincial court judges’ salaries should generally � t into the same pattern that public service salaries � t into.”

Starting in 2013, the province negoti-ated � ve-year contracts with health care, social services and other unions with rais-es between one and 1.5 per cent per year. Finance Minister Mike de Jong introduced the concept of “growth sharing” to achieve longer labour settlements, with additional raises paid in years when growth of the pro-vincial economy exceeds independent fore-casts.

The judges’ association lost its initial challenge of the 2013-14 raise, when B.C. Supreme Court Justice John Savage noted provincial court judges’ salaries had risen 45 per cent in a decade, from $161,250 per year in 2004 to $234,600 in 2013.

VANCOUVER - The province’s annual LNG conference had near-ly all of Kitimat’s council in attendance and Mayor Phil Germuth says Kitimat is still at the forefront of the industry’s minds.

The International LNG in BC conference is hosted by the pro-vincial government and was held in Vancouver from October 14 to 16.

Germuth says he hears from industry that they’re still looking to make their industries cost effective, a process that is being done jointly with the province itself, but the outlook for an industry in Kitimat still seems good, he says.

“Things are moving forward,” said Germuth.Asked what his personal feeling is, he says the ongoing work

done by LNG Canada gives him cause for optimism from their project at least.

“When you look at the amount of commitments they’ve done even just within Kitimat...They’re still moving forward all the time so that’s very positive to see.”

He was referring to a number of housing agreements the Shell-

led project has committed to, including Haisla Town Centre, the Civeo lodge, and the site of the former Alexander townhouses.

Germuth knows nothing is a done deal though. He listened closely to remarks by Shell’s executive vice president of integrated gas Maarten Wetselaar who provided a tempered optimism.

“He was there too and he said ‘hey, things look okay,’ but of course they still don’t have guarantees.”

Germuth knows the decisions are ultimately business ones but remains hopeful for a start up in Kitimat.

“Hopefully the project here in Kitimat will be one of those [that make it] and we’re still positive that they will have that � nal investment decision next year,” he said.

As for any word if the municipality itself needs to do anything more, he said that’s not something he’s heard.

“Nobody has said that there’s something that we’re lacking here,” he said. “And we’re fully supporting the industry and doing everything we can to help them along.”

The council is continuing to press proponents, particularly the ones behind the proposed Douglas Channel LNG � oating facility, to ensure all operations employees live in the community, rather than house the employees temporarily on � y-in-, � y-out basis.

Regional airport’s stats holding as predictedTERRACE - Passenger traffic at the Northwest Regional Airport re-mains down from last year but lat-est numbers show the 2015 total so far this year is within projections.

“We’re down 10 per cent for the calendar year,” says airport man-ager Carman Hendry in examin-ing the passenger numbers to the end of September which stood at 172,854.

But in looking at the 12 months from this September to Septem-ber 2014 and comparing them to

the 12 months prior to September 2014, traffic is down just four per cent, he said.

Hendry’s predicting a calen-dar year 2015 total of just under 230,000 which is within projec-tions set out at the beginning of the year.

The airport set a record of 253,368 in 2014, far above the 177,294 total for 2013 and the 139,193 total for 2012. All figures are for scheduled flights and don’t include charters.

Hendry noted that this year’s figures don’t have the influence of the Rio Tinto Alcan Kitimat smelt-er rebuilding project which was at its peak last year.

“So if you look at this year, we continue to be a very busy airport,” said Hendry.

“We have a large number of flights on airlines servicing Van-couver, we have flights to Calgary, to Prince George, to Vancouver.”

“Our traffic reflects the frequen-cy of these flights and the afford-

ability of air travel.”The increase in traffic over the

past several years is driving an ambitious expansion project just underway which is being financed by a passenger user fee and grants from the federal and provincial governments. Firefighting and rescue service has just been intro-duced owing to the traffic increase.

And two weekends ago, the Northwest Regional Airport was named Newsmaker of the Year at the 2015 Terrace and District

Chamber of Commerce’s annual Business Excellence Awards.

“It takes all of our people to make this place run,” said Hendry of the award.

Both Air Canada and WestJet began direct service to and from Calgary in late spring. Air Cana-da has stopped that run as of this month as part of a general scale back for the fall and winter sea-son and Hendry is predicting it’ll return next spring as part of the air-lines spring/summer schedule.

The role of social licence and Aboriginal title discussedBy Kevin CampbellTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - The role of social licence and the increasing opposi-tion to resource devel-opment was the topic of a Chamber of Com-merce luncheon featur-ing Macdonald-Laurier Institute (MLI) manag-ing director Brian Lee Crowley.

During the lunch, Crowley opined on the developing natural re-source economy that Canada enjoys and dived into two topics that have extreme rel-evance on the North Coast: ‘social licence’ and the power and au-thority that aboriginal people hold over the de-cision-making process of natural resource proj-ects. Crowley began by de� ning the Canadian climate of investment in its natural resource economy, namely its strength in certainty and reliability for businesses to invest in natural re-source projects – almost all of which require an extraordinary amount of money up front at the outset of the project.

“The natural re-source economy re-quires you to invest vast sums of money up front and to recover your in-vestment over a long payback period. What makes it possible for people to be con� dent they can recover their in-vestment over the next 25 – 30 years? ... We have created a bunch of institutions in Canada that have helped cre-ate certainty for pro-ponents and give them con� dence they can ... get a reasonable return,” Crowley said, citing the Canadian Environmen-tal Assessment Agency (CEAA), National Ener-gy Board (NEB) and the Canadian Nuclear Safe-ty Commission as exam-ples of these institutions.

Next, Crowley delved into ‘social li-cence’.

“Social licence, I think, covers two com-pletely different things. One of them is quite in-nocuous and indeed de-

sirable and the other is completely contrary to this idea of set institu-tions that gives the cer-tainty that unlocks natu-ral resources,” he said.

One de� nition of social licence includes businesses and govern-ments undertaking ‘ra-tional management’ ef-forts to have a good reputation with the lo-cal population, business leaders and authorities. The second de� nition

of social licence � ts what Crowley calls a ‘radical social licence movement’.

“There are certain groups in society that are actually opposed in principle to natural re-source development. They think it’s wrong for Canada to be de-veloping its natural re-source endowment and they have latched on to social licence and turned it into a kind of

right of veto for oppo-nents of natural resource development,” said Crowley.

“We created all these institutions ... with the purpose of creating a calm, reasoned insti-tutional framework in which we can ... make decisions even in the face of opposition. This is part of having a demo-cratic society. The radi-cal social licence move-ment doesn’t accept

that idea. Their view is that as long as there re-mains any opposition, especially opposition by themselves to natural resource development, they are not only enti-tled to protest, they are entitled to stop natural resource development. And my view is that we cannot, as a democratic society, allow organized minorities to oppose democratically-created institutions that are de-

signed to allow us to make these kinds of de-cisions.”

Crowley’s sec-ond point relates to the growth of agency that aboriginal people have gained over the past few years.

He went on to say that the older genera-tion, the ones who led the campaign for po-litical constitution and other rights for First Na-tions, continue to see

the development of their communities lying in further political and tra-ditional activism, such as demonstrations and court cases, to gain more power.

Crowley sees the younger generation of First Nations, a vital part of the ‘Idle No More’ movement, wanting to turn their new powers and rights into genuine opportunities for them-selves.

Nov. 11 in HazeltonBy Margaret SpeirsTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

HAZELTON - Residents gather each Nov. 11 at the cenotaph in Bastion Park in Old Hazelton which was rebuilt in 2010 thanks to the assistance of Branch 13 of the Royal Canadian Legion in Terrace and several Terrace businesses.

On Remembrance Day, local churches take care of the ceremony at the cenotaph. Members of youth groups, veterans and the RCMP collect themselves in a group before marching to the cenotaph.

Following the 11 a.m. moment of silence, there are speakers and usually a choir to sing a song about peace.

The recitation of In Flanders Fields follows and it’s done in three languages: English, French and Gitxsan. Afterward, there’s a tea at the St. Peters Anglican church hall. Veterans are also busy before Remembrance Day visiting local schools. “I’ll be going to my daughter’s school and Kispiox com-munity school and also the John Field school,” said Arthur McRae, a veteran, of his activities planned this year.

WILLIAM GYE / THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

Brittany Waite and the Charles Hays Rainmakers senior girls’ vol-leyball team hosted the region in the school’s � rst home play day last Saturday.

Volleyball teamscompete in RupertBy WIlliam GyeTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - The Charles Hays (CHSS) senior girls’ volley-ball team returned home this past weekend.

The Rainmakers-hosted event saw the team play games against Smithers Secondary School, but the team ended up falling to the visi-tors, 16-25, 19-25, as well as falling to powerhouse Caledonia Second-ary from Terrace, 16-25, 20-25. The squad beat Ebenezer Christian Re-form School 25-20, 25-12 and then defeated Bulkley Valley Christian School 25-17, 25-10.

“This is the � rst time we saw Caledonia. They are a very strong team, and have a very strong program up there. It was a good day (for the Rainmakers), and it was nice to have [the] Queen Char-lotte team come over,” said CHSS

head coach Jacqueline Jackson af-ter the games had completed for the day.

One of the standouts from the Rainmakers’ team, wearing number 9, was Suttira Johansen.

Playing the setting position and having a great year, building on the momentum of last spring, Johansen has played with Caledonia on their club team.

The more game time the athletes got, the further their development has come. Playing against excellent competition no doubt strengthened their skills and helped ready them continue with volleyball after high-school if they choose.

The senior girls’ zones cham-pionship will be played on Nov. 21, before the CHSS winter sports schedule kicks in, with the school’s popular basketball teams gearing up for the 2015-16 season, one in which it hopes to excel.

Runner breaks own recordBy Jackie LieuwenTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

TERRACE - Joe Pelletier achieved a new personal best, beating his last record by two minutes in the Vancouver Rock N’ Roll half marathon Oct. 25.

Finishing the race in 1:38:00 and ranking 227th of 5,000 run-ners, Pelletier says he is quite happy.

“My pace that I had planned [4:40 per kilometre], I nailed right to the second. I � nished right where I was hoping to, so everything went well,” he said.

As for the other race details, Pelletier said it was a beautiful course to run, including a stretch through Stanley Park, and weath-er was warm with no wind.

“Perfect day, perfect course, perfect race in many ways,” he said.

Pelletier is running two half marathons this year to raise mon-ey for the Canuck Place Chil-dren’s Hospice. which is located in Vancouver.

With a goal of $3,000, he has

raised $1,800 for the cause so far. “I’m hoping for a strong push

here towards the end, but we’ll see,” he said.

Now Pelletier is preparing for the Las Vegas Rock N’ Roll half marathon on November 15.

“I’m very excited about that one,” he said. “You run down the Las Vegas strip at night so every-thing is lit up. And Kid Rock is playing and Kiss is playing.”

Since he just ran the Vancou-ver half marathon, Pelletier says he will be happy to � nish in Ve-gas with any time under 1:45:00. He adds that the elevation will be a challenge too, with Vegas more than 2,000 feet over sea level,

Pelletier says he is making the trip into a vacation, taking a week and doing a Grand Canyon tour and seeing the Blue Man Group.

Getting ready he has a few targeted runs, but he will mostly rest and do light running as he re-covers and gears up for his next race, he said.

Several other Terrace runners competed in the Vancouver half

marathon as well. Nita Back � nished in 2:00:05,

ranking 1,583 of the 5,000 run-ners. Shauna Bennett � nished in 2:15:41 at rank 2,879 and Mer-edith Wolfe in 2:35:52 at rank 4,121.

Terrace’s Dianna Martin Ja-nas ran the 10-kilometre Cun-ningham Seawall Oct. 24, � nish-ing in 1:13:59 and ranking 2,061 of 3,004 runners. Janas also ran the early start half marathon, � n-ishing in 2:50:28 and ranking 72 of 333 runners.

Marlins grab third in swim meetBy Cameron OrrTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

KITIMAT - The Kitimat Marlins swim club competed at the � rst regional swim meet of the season in Prince Rupert.

Teams from Prince George, Terrace, Smithers and host Prince Rupert were in attendance at the coastal city.

With strong swims from all Marlin swimmers the team was able to take third in overall points.

Prince George took � rst with Prince Rupert taking second place.

Zachary Dumas, 16, took the gold medal for overall points in the 15 and over boys division. In his 200 IM Dumas achieved an-other western national qualifying time.

Dumas was also awarded Northwest B.C. male swimmer of the year for last season. Dumas won the award for his multiple top 16 placing at Western Canadian Nationals, his AAA provincial medal and multiple top eight � n-ishes and many regional and pool records last season.

Other medal winners for the Marlins were Kleanza Cathers, 15, silver in the 15 and Over girls, Ethan Velho, 14, silver in the 13-14 boys, Charlotte Collier, 13, sil-ver and Leah Desousa, 13, bronze in the 13-14 girls and Jayden Johnston, 11, bronze in the 11-12 boys.

The Marlins also had six more

swimmers reach their � rst two or more new AA provincial qualify-ing standards to join Ethan Velho 14-15 boys and Olivia Pearson 11 and under girls who quali� ed last season.

They were Izaak Velho in the 12-13 boys, Laurence Bouchier in the 14-15 girls, Hannah Pearson, Leah Desousa and Charlotte Col-lier in the 12-13 girls and Jayden Johnston in the 11 and under boys.

The AA short course (25 me-ter pool) provincial champion-ships will take place this February in Penticton.

The largest improvement at the swim meet was Nolan Striker,

14.He who took off three min-

utes and 20 seconds in the 1500 meter freestyle on his way to 100 per cent personal best times in all seven of his races.

Other Marlins to achieve the tough task of improving their time in all of their races were Jayden Johnston, Lucas Johnston, Emilie Krabes, Charlotte Collier, Leah Desousa, Ethan Manseau, Han-nah Pearson, Isaiah Silva, Iris Striker,Sarah Toth, and Izaak Vel-ho.

The Marlins will travel to Prince George in late November for their next swim meet which is also of a regional nature.

Port Ed gym to reopenBy Shaun ThomasTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PORT EDWARD - While Paci� c North-West LNG is using the former Port Edward School for of� ce space, council says it wants to � nd a way to re-open the gym to the public.

Following a project update from the compa-ny’s Tessa Gill and Der-ek Baker, Coun. James Brown said he has heard loud and clear that com-munity members want access to the gym as the facility at the new school doesn’t have the height needed for sever-al sports.

“For years we have used that school for clubs and teams and I have had some people asking about it again. I am wondering if there is some way we could possibly use the gym in the evenings,” he said.

“The problem is adults can’t play in here and don’t have any-where to go to play � oor hockey or basketball... it has to be a commu-nity effort and it has to be something that is or-ganized,” added Mayor Dave MacDonald, not-ing issues of security and cleanup would need to be addressed before the facility would be re-opened to the public.

While the company said re-opening the gym has been on the radar, it will now work to expe-

dite the process. “This is something

that has come up for us in the past and some-thing we have taken back to our project team to understand what opportunities exist to maintain that communi-ty asset,” said Baker.

“Post � nal invest-ment decision, when we renovate to get more desks and of� ces, we were looking at ways to isolate the gym, but we will look to see if there is a way we can get it going sooner than that,” added Gill.
