For the first six months of 2012 the average unemployment rate in the region was 11.9 per cent compared to 8.2 per cent for the first six months of 2011. In terms of the number of people employed, that figure has fallen from 44,300 last July to 38,400, a loss of 5,900 employed people in the northwest, while 500 jobs were lost from June to July.

Northwest jobless rate highest in B.C.By Shaun ThomasTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - Northwest BC has the highest unemploy-ment rate in the province, accord-ing to stats released on August 10 by the Ministry of Jobs, Tourism and Innovation, and it is the only region in BC in double digits.

The unemployment rate for the North Coast and Nechako re-gion, which covers just west of Vanderhoof to Haida Gwaii, was 11.9 per cent this July. That num-ber was down slightly from the 12.2 per cent in June but is the third highest rate this year.

When compared to last Ju-ly’s 7.7 per cent unemployment fi gure, the number is up 4.2 per

cent. For the fi rst six months of 2012 the average unemployment rate in the region was 11.9 per cent compared to 8.2 per cent for the fi rst six months of 2011.

In terms of the number of people employed, that fi gure has fallen from 44,300 last July to 38,400, a loss of 5,900 employed people in the northwest, while 500 jobs were lost from June to July. So far this year the number of people employed in the region is down 7.9 per cent while pro-vincially the fi gure has risen 1.9 per cent.

Dog lovers rally for transfer to KitimatBy Margaret SpeirsTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

TERRACE - A drive to get a dog moved to bet-ter living conditions took to the boardroom as sup-porters rallied to make their voices heard at the regional district meeting Aug. 10.

Dog owner Paul MacNeil asked the re-gional district board to let his German shep-herd Cain be moved from the Thornhill animal shelter to the Kit-imat Humane Society where he and his sup-porters believe the ca-nine would have better care until its trial day in December.

He explained that Cain bit a child when cornered after being chased down the street by children with hockey sticks and three diesel trucks.

The child’s skin wasn’t broken, he wasn’t taken to the hospital, didn’t have a bandaid put on and later on that same day was playing in his backyard, said Mac-Neil.

“He did bite [the child and I’m not excus-ing that] but the Thorn-hill pound is not the place for a dog to be for a long time,” said Mac-Neil, adding he didn’t want to debate the case but just wanted his dog moved to the Kitimat shelter.

Cain is in a four foot by 10 foot kennel and he’s an 85 pound German shepherd, said MacNeil.

“I’m not allowed to see my dog on my terms,” he said.

The Thornhill ani-mal shelter is open from 12:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. and he works from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m., he explained, adding that Cain passed an assessment for his temperament that was videotaped by dog train-er Kelly Ruff.

Phyllis Gregg of Kitimat, who came up to help support MacNeil, said the Kitimat Humane Society was willing to take the dog and work with it as it had a lot of success rehabilitating dogs and would sign pa-pers saying it would take full responsibility for the canine.

If provincial court doesn’t order the dog de-stroyed, Cain can have a second chance and go to one of the German shep-herd rescue groups that the shelter works with,

she said. The group can then

fi nd the dog a suitable home, she added.

Earlier in the day, re-gional district bylaw en-forcement offi cer Mur-ray Daly confi rmed the dog was seized in April and said bylaw was seeking a destruction or-der for the dog.

Daly didn’t want to speak about specif-ics of the case but did comment on the shelter keeping Cain.

“I will say the dog is in our possession and until we’re ordered to do so by a judge, it’s not leaving ourpossession,” he said.

“The dog is not be-ing treated inhumane-ly,” he added, saying Cain was being fed and watered.

“It receives all the treatment it would prob-ably get at the Kitimat shelter.”

Commenting on the size of Cain’s current kennel, Daly said that Cain’s kennel is an in-side and outside kennel and Cain does go out-side into “a small con-tainment area.”

“It’s a vicious dog in there (shelter) for ob-vious reasons,” he said, adding that for safety reasons, staff wasn’t go-ing to take it out, let it run loose or take it for a walk.

There were witness reports and the police report as to what hap-

pened and the dog fell under the criteria of the regional district bylaws and Community Char-ter to hold him. An as-sessment on the dog has been done but since the case is before the courts, Daly couldn’t go into detail.

The owner hasn’t been denied visitation and has been instructed about the steps he needs to take to see the dog, said Daly.

“We don’t want him [just] showing up at the shelter,” said Daly, add-ing it’s a legal matter so certain protocols are in place.

Kelly Ruff, owner of Diamonds in the Ruff Canine Training, said she assessed Cain and videotaped it.

She said Daly and Stacey Kennedy, ani-mal control offi cer of the Thornhill Animal Shel-ter watched the assess-ment; she offered them a copy of her videotape but they declined it.

While not going into specifi cs of what she learned from the assess-ment, she said MacNeil indicated he would agree to her fi ndings.

“He told me if I went into an assessment and I felt the dog was aggres-sive, he would put the dog down,” said Ruff.

The behaviour dogs show when they’re in kennels for a long time depends on the individu-al animal, she said.

Protestors say dog better off in Kitimat animal shelter

“Generally, you see increased barking. You can see increased aggression,” she said, adding dogs protect the area they’re in and the smaller the area the more fi ercely they protect it.

Some dogs will become de-pressed, and can have health is-sues with weight gain if they don’t get exercise, she said.

If a dog in a kennel gets a sig-nifi cant amount of exercise it can use up its excess energy, which otherwise can turn into problems if not used up.

And it’s not only about exer-cising the body, it’s also about ex-ercising the dog’s mind, she said.

For example, herding dogs like Cain are thinking dogs and they have to have interaction and things to think about, she said.

“Dogs are pack animals. When you have one basically in solitary confi nement, it’s not part of their genetic makeup,” she said.

A lot of times, shelter staff have to euthanize an animal at some point because the dogs can’t stand being there any longer, she

added.“You know how you react to

any amount of time at a kennel so think of the dog in there,” she said about the constant barking and how it can be bothersome. She added that every pound or shelter isn’t the same; some are set up for long-term care and others aren’t.

After his presentation to the regional district board, MacNeil walked outside with is arms in the air as in victory.

He told his supporters he felt “really good” about how it went.

Pr. Rupert school board holds vote on Port Edward schoolBy Shaun ThomasTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - The Board of Education of the Prince Rupert School District will be meeting to-morrow night to formalize leasing agreements related to the school in Port Edward.

To keep the school operational for the coming year is a bit more complicated than just having the students return.

The School District will be closing the school at 633 Sunset Drive on August 31, and an agree-ment has been drafted up for the District of Port Edward to lease the school building until Septem-ber 1, 2013 when the new school is expected to be complete and open.

However, for it to be kept open

as a school for the coming year, the School District needs to sub-lease the building back from the mu-nicipality for that same duration.

The School District closed building, so many factors were in-cluded in that de-cision.

One of the rea-sons is that there is a lot of mainte-nance work need-ed for the building and the district is not prepared to pay that cost for the number of stu-dents there...In order to allow stud to continue to receive education in

Port Edward, we had to come up with another solution,” explained

secretary-treasurer Cam McIntyre.

“Leasing back, the District of Port Ed-ward would be respon-sible for any signifi cant maintenance costs. If a light bulb goes we’ll replace that, but if the boiler goes that wouldn’t be our responsibil-ity.”

While the new school building has yet to be com-pleted, the Board will also be voting on a 20-year lease

of the facility running from September 1, 2012 to Au-

gust 31, 2032.“It’s agreement to lease the

property subject to the completion of the building.

Once it is actually complete then we will sign the lease,” said McIntyre, noting that there isn’t payments being planned until the building is complete.

As well as the leasing agree-ment, the Board will be voting on approval of a Capital Project Bylaw approving a maximum of $500,000 towards the construction of the Port Edward school.

Look for more on this story following the meeting at www.thenorthernview.com

Cops for Cancer holding Jail and BailBy ContributedTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - On Saturday August 25th, 2012, between 10 a.m. and fi ve p.m., the Cops for Cancer “Tour de North” will be holding a “Jail and Bail” fundraiser in Cow Bay.

For this event, local business owners, commu-nity “celebrities” and community members will be “arrested” for various offences and transported to a “jail” located in Cow Bay near the Atlin Terminal. Once there, the “prisoner” will have to make “bail” by contacting family, friends and co-workers to raise enough donations to gain their release. Each “pris-oner” will have a pre-determined “bail” set but are encouraged to raise more money if possible.

Businesses in Prince Rupert have shown their support of this fundraiser through their generous do-nation of goods and services.

The business owners in Cow Bay have donat-ed various goods and services which will be raffl ed

off on the day of the event. Home Hardware, Rona, General Paints and Jim West Signs have donated ma-terials to construct the jail and Safeway and Over-waitea have donated food and beverages which will be available for purchase.

The Prince Rupert riders, Bob Killbery and Jen-nifer Collins, would like to thank all of the business supporting this project.

All monies raised goes to the Canadian Cancer Society, funding not only pediatric cancer treatment and research but also facilities like Camp Good-times.

Anyone interested in nominating a person for “arrest” or volunteering at the event please contact Constable Jennifer Collins at 250-627-0700 or cel-lular 250-600-1377. Nominations will close on Au-gust 22, 2012.

The “Tour de North” assists the Canadi-an Cancer Society by raising money in sup-port of pediatric cancer research, treatment and education.

Confidential, Reliable and Secured

By Ed EvansTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - This weekend marks the start of a new era at the annual Houston Drags.

After the organizers of the previous 15 years of racing at the Houston Airport decided pack it in and to cancel the race, a new group has come forward to start a new race.

This group has had to work hard to get the race going again as they had to apply to the Agri-cultural land reserve to get permission to run a drag race at the airport.

This was overlooked in the previous 15 years. Permission was given to the group a few weeks ago and everything that needed to be done be-hind the scenes to get the race up and running has been done and racing is set to go this weekend.

Organizers didn’t have much time to get sponsors or prizes but

say they will promote the race this year, as a fun run.

The race is going back to 1/8th mile and

will be open to Bikes, Sleds, Trucks and Cars. Racing will start at 10 am Saturday and Sunday and run until 6 pm.

Task force conducts a ferry studyBy Sean GlanvilleTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

KITIMAT - A feasibility study is now underway for a proposed ferry service based out of Kiti-mat.

The proposed project would provide an inter-coastal ferry services from Kitimat to and from the remote villages of Hartley Bay, Klemtu and Bella Bella as destinations.

A local task force has re-cently completed a feasibility study, which they have sent to various B.C. Ministries.

Kitimat Mayor Joanne Monaghan mentions that the next step is bringing this pro-posal to the Ministries involved

and getting their guidance.“We hope the government

departments will be able to pro-vide feedback on the proposed project as well as some fund-ing,” said Monaghan.

Monaghan feels access to ferry transportation would be a huge step forward for people living in the villages as it would put them in reach of necessary educational and employment opportunities along with basic amenities.

“Ferry service would pro-vide a means of reaching edu-cational facilities in Kitimat and access to fi nding jobs in Kitimat as there is plenty of un-employment in the villages,” said Monaghan.

Ferry service would also provide essential medical treat-ment and allow seafood to reach market quicker.

“Service would also allow access to hospital and medi-cal supplies for places such as Klemtu, Bella Bella and Hart-ley Bay and additionally supply food for their crustacean farms and getting the product to mar-ket quickly.”

Monaghan mentions that the task force that produced the student was funded through the Northern Development Ini-tiative Trust and the feasibility study which was completed last week suggests the ferry would run three days a week.

At this stage, the main con-

cern is getting the ferry service up and running and Monaghan mentions ideas such as incor-porating industry or tourism are not a main concern at this point.

“The service will have very little to do with tourism or in-dustry at this stage. Perhaps down the road if the villages want to incorporate some type of cultural tourism that may work for them in the future,” explained Monaghan.

Monaghan also notes as far as industry is concerned, the ferry service could perhaps provide transportation of work-ers and goods to projects in the area at some point.

Public market opening a huge successBy Sean GlanvilleTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

KITIMAT - Around 500 people dropped by the Kitimat Public Market during its trial opening Sunday. It was a major success as 35 vendors from across the North West sold their goods.

“We were thrilled with the turnout, it was so successful many of the vendors actually ran out of food,” said Kitimat Food-share and Community Services Coordinator Elizabeth Botz.

“It was a really carnival-like atmosphere and we had a number of people sitting on the grass eating their lunch. People were coming down in droves and we got a lot of the after-church crowd.”

Local dignitaries including Mayor Joanne Monaghan and Councilor Rob Goffi net were on hand for the event.

“I thought it went well, thanks to the organizers and hopefully this can continue. It’s a great addition to Kitimat,” said Monaghan.

The public market is sched-uled for every second Sunday from 11am – 3pm at Mountain-view Square. The offi cial grand opening event will be held at the next public market in two weeks. They hope to run this summer and fall up until Sun-day, October 7 weather per-mitting. Next year they hope to open some time in April as insurance and liability issues caused them to delay the open-ing this year until Sunday.

There have been farmers markets in Kitimat in the past unable to be sustained primar-ily due to being entirely vol-unteer-based. With the current public market there are a num-ber of organizations involved and funding from the commu-

nity to help ensure long-term success.

“In the past the public mar-ket was completely volunteer-based and this time with the Kitimat Community Servic-es (KCS) and food-share pro-grams the organization aspect is much easier since it’s not all volunteer,” said Botz.

The KCS is working with the District of Kitimat on the foodshare program, public mar-ket, and are in the organization-al stages of building a commu-nity garden.

“This three step strategy is all part of our goal to help end poverty in Kitimat,” said Botz.

“When we presented to Council they gave us their full support to work with their plan-ners.”

Botz mentioned she hopes the new community gar-den will also be located near Mountainview Square with its

ideal location.“We like the idea of hav-

ing it at Mountainview Square as it’s so central and near the hospital so we could have some raised garden beds for the pa-tients to enjoy.”

Some of the vendors includ-ed Happy Pick Organic Farm from Smithers, Vegan Fibres of Terrace, Missy-Lou Handbags and Accessories, Woolcraft and Jewelry, Adrian Glass, as well as plenty of canned and home-made goods.

There were also plenty of activities on hand for youth in-cluding a bouncy castle and a table set up for painting ceram-ics.

Organizers also mentioned they had numerous requests for East Indian food at the market and welcome any potential ven-dors. They are always looking for fresh fruit and vegetables re-gionally grown.

Susann Williamson (middle) owns Mountainside Gallery. Her goal is a space to bring together art-ists, such as Kathleen Stuart (right), with art patrons such as Judy Chrysler (left).

Art lovers meet art makers in new galleryBy Samantha GarveyTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

TERRACE - Local artists and art-lovers have a new space to come to-gether.

Susann Williamson is running Mountainside Gallery and Framing, which had its grand opening Aug. 11 and 12 at its location at Skeena Landing. But its doors were able to open because of greater community support of the Terrace arts scene.

“The big difference is there are not only artists supporting artists but community members as well,” said Williamson. “Everyone’s been involved.

“The arts scene is growing big-ger and bigger.”

All the artwork at the gal-lery is local and original work, with some consign-

ment and estate art. Everything has a story, a history and the op-portunity to form a relationship with the artist, Williamson said. The walls are covered with piec-es from local art legends like ‘Big Bob’ Park, Edward Epp, Al and Nan Richardson, Freda Diesing and Marion Schlegel.

Her plans to continue promot-ing arts in Terrace include work-shops to take place at the gallery; a juried art show, where locals can gain feedback on their work from established professionals; meet the artist events; and bringing in an art appraiser.

One thing she is not worried about is demand. “There’s been a shift in the last 10 years. People don’t want junk. (They) are looking closer to home for authentic, qual-ity, local art,” she said.

Silent but deadly disease can affect everyoneBy Staff ReporterTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

TERRACE - The third annual Ter-race Kidney Walk is on this Sun-day and for organizer Joan Iamele the event is an opportunity to raise awareness for people with kidney disease and promote the need for citizens to be registered as organ donors.

In British Columbia, “85 per cent of people are in favour of be-

ing donor registered, but only 18 per cent actually are,” said Iamele.

“My reason for being involved is awareness. It’s big in the walk to have everyone register at B.C. transplant.”

Iamele herself has been touched by kidney disease, with both of her children being on dialyses and having gone through kidney trans-plants.

“It may affect you,” said Iamele. “It’s a silent thing.”

Kidney transplants are a more effective treatment than dialysis, said Iamele, because they give the recipient a clean kidney to work with, rather than one that needs to be cleaned out every two-to-three days.

But the average wait time for a kidney is seven years. Currently, there are 375 people in B.C. on the waiting list.

The walk, which has been hap-pening in B.C. for the past fi ve

years, was started in order to in-form people about issues around kidney disease.

For the past two years in Ter-race, Iamele has seen the walk grow.

The fi rst year there were be-tween 50 – 60 people, while last year that number almost doubled.

This year, she’s hoping for around 200 people. But, “more would be great,” she said.

The event is held at Furlong

campgrounds picnic area near the picnic shelter. Anyone is free to walk or run through the Twin Spirit Trail. Dragonboating is also an op-tion.

There will be giveaways, a bar-becue by donation, and a scaven-ger hunt for the kids.

The event is more than a walk, “it’s a chance to raise funds and awareness but also bring the com-munity together to have a fun day,” she said.

TERRACE – Hazelton mayor Alice Maitland receives a Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal at the Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine board meeting Aug. 10. She was nominated for serving the village of Hazelton for more than 34 years in all aspects, including adult education, pioneer history and First Nations’ history.

Special award… Driver uninjured after quad fl ips but will pay fi ne of nearly $1,000TERRACE - Quad driv-ers are being reminded that they shouldn’t drink and drive.

The West Pacifi c Re-gion Traffi c Services, also known as the high-way patrol, showed one quad operator the con-sequences of driving while impaired after he was caught in Thornhill Aug. 7, reported police Aug. 8.

Offi cers patrolling on Old Lakelse Lake Road attempted to stop the quad, which was on the highway, said police.

The quad fl ed into a nearby gravel pit and overturned, at which time the 38-year-old Thornhill driver, who was not injured, was is-sued a 90 day driving suspension for alcohol, fi ned nearly $1,000 and had his quad impounded for 30 days, said police.

Numerous com-plaints of quads driv-ing on roadways in the Thornhill area have been reported to Terrace RCMP and it’s hoped this incident will send a message that this type of behaviour will not be tolerated, said police.

And quad drivers are reminded that they are not allowed to drive on the road.

Sgt. Pamela Scott, who’s in charge of the highway patrol here, said “...quads or ATVs can’t operate on a road-way unless they have a

special permit.” The Motor Vehicle

All Terrain Act Section 4 (1) (a) also states that: “A person must not op-erate an all-terrain vehi-cle in a careless, reckless or negligent manner so as to endanger or cause injury or damage to a

person [who can be the operator] or property of another.”

The public is encour-aged to report crimes or suspicious behaviour to local police at 250-638-7400 or anonymously through Crime Stoppers at 1- 888-222-TIPS.

CONTRIBUTED / THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

The driver of this quad was uninjured but received a huge fi ne and lost the vehicle for one month after driving it while impaired, said the local highway patrol.

Enbridge operates the largest and most complex liquids pipeline system in the world. We’re proud of what we do—helping to provide reliable energy to many millions of people across North America every single day. Over the last decade alone, we’ve transported nearly 12 billion barrels of crude oil with a safe delivery record better than 99.999 per cent. That’s good but, for us, it’s not good enough. Any incident tells us that we must do even better. We will never stop striving for 100 per cent.

Operating a complex pipeline system is by its nature a challenging business. This is not new. Enbridge employees have successfully met these challenges for over 60 years—by placing safety at the heart of our operations. We constantly strive to do better. Particularly when it comes to the integrity and viability of our pipelines—which is, and must always be, our number one concern.

Pipeline safety has been much in the news lately, and so it’s important to give the issue some context—to look beyond the latest headline and recognize the outstanding long-term safety record of this important energy delivery system. In fact, decades of experience have shown that pipelines are by far the safest, most efficient method of transporting large volumes of oil. Historically, pipelines have had the least amount of releases of any mode of oil transportation. As a result of strenuous efforts within our industry, releases have actually decreased over the past decade—both in terms of the number of releases and the amount of product released.

Our goal at Enbridge is—and will continue to be—the prevention of all spills. In 2011 alone we invested about $400 million to ensure the safety and integrity of our system, and that amount is set to increase substantially—to more than $800 million—in 2012. Over the past two years we have doubled the number of staff dedicated to leak detection and pipeline control systems, and substantially strengthened our focus on the tools, technologies and strategies to ensure the fitness of our pipelines.

This is not new, but rather part of an ongoing effort to be the best in the business. In the past decade we’ve invested more than $3 billion in safety, integrity and new technology—and we’re planning more investment going forward. We continually evaluate the condition of our pipeline system to ensure long-term reliability and integrity.

Enbridge is a Canadian success story, with a hard-earned reputation as a responsible corporate citizen. In a rapidly changing world we will continue to build on that foundation by continuing to adhere to a strong set of core values that reflect what is truly important to us as a company: the safe transportation of energy that millions of people rely on in their daily lives.

Summer World of Danceworkshop in Pr. Rupert By Martina PerryTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - The Dance Academy of Prince Rupert held its annual Summer World of Dance workshop last week, with classes running from August 6 until August 10.

This year there were around seventy students who participated in a number of classes including ballet, jazz, lyrical, tap, hip-hop, musical theatre, drama, adult yoga and dance all stylez.

There were three dance instruc-tors this year, including Prince Ru-

pert’s own Tara Crouse and Amber Mackereth, who were both previ-ously students at the Dance Acad-emy, and Chiliwack-based dance teacher Deanna Limbert.

Teresa Macereth, who is the founder of the Dance Academy, says that the summer workshop is important because it accelerates dancers technique.

Registration for the coming dance season will be taking place on August 28 and 29, as well as September 4 and 5. For further in-formation on registration, contact the studio at 250-624-3457 or e-mail [email protected]

City of Prince Rupert cancels its August council meetingBy Martina PerryTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - In the month of August, members of both the Prince Rupert city council and the Skeena-Queen Charlotte Regional District will not be meeting.

The City only had one regular council meeting scheduled for this month, on August 20. However, on August 14 the city alerted the public that this meeting would not be hap-pening. City Manager Gord Howie says that the meeting was cancelled and rescheduled to take place in

September for a number of reasons, the fi rst being that there weren’t enough items to put on the agenda to make the meeting worthwhile. The last council meeting that held on Monday, July 30 lasted less than 45 minutes, which anyone who at-tends the meetings regularly knows

is much shorter than usual.According to Howie there will

also be a number of council mem-bers out of town on the day of the meeting, as well as the fact that during August council doesn’t get much communication from the pro-vincial government.

“During the summer months [the council] meet roughly every three weeks in-stead of every two weeks,” said Howie.

As for the Regional District, there was no scheduled meeting to take place all month.

Scenes from Udderfest…

PRINCE RUPERT - Local actors, writers and directors put their talents on display from August 8-12 for the 14th annual Udder Theatre Festival, hosted by the Harbour Theatre Society. This year’s event featured eight plays that were performed at either the Tom Rooney Playhouse or the Lester Centre of the Arts.

Terrace man rememberedBy Margaret Speirs THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

TERRACE - A man well-known for his com-mitment to the commu-nity, the local legion and the game of soccer is be-ing fondly remembered after his sudden death.

Les Sinnott, 59, died after his vehicle went off Hwy 16 near the east en-trance to the city of Ter-race in the afternoon of Aug. 4.

Sinnott was said to be “in medical distress” when emergency servic-es arrived and was pro-nounced dead at the hos-pital.

An avid and promi-nent legion member, he was a very big asset to the branch, said legion member Charlie Meek.

“He was just a terrif-ic person to be around,” said Meek.

Sinnott was a “gen-tleman, a kind person, defi nitely a loving hus-band, father, grandfa-ther.”

“He appreciated life and valued life,” said Meek.

“He enjoyed what he was doing and enjoyed being part of the com-munity of Terrace.”

“We lost a good friend and lost a good colleague. He’ll be real-ly, really, sadly missed, not just by his family and friends but [also] by the Royal Canadian Legion Branch,” said Meek.

At the legion, Sin-nott was an associate member and helped out wherever he could.

He was president in 2008 for two years, moving to past president and was treasurer for

this year; his wife Deb-bie is the current legion president.

He was born in Liv-erpool, England in 1952 and moved with his fam-ily to West Vancouver in 1965.

He met his wife Debbie in 1977 and they were married in 1981.

He joined BC Tel, the former name of Te-lus, in 1978.

He and his fam-ily moved to Terrace in 2000 where he contin-ued to work for Telus and retired in 2009.

Dallis Winsor, a le-gion director, said on ev-ery Remembrance Day Sinnott was the “stolid and articulate voice of the legion at associated ceremonies.”

He and his wife were quick to help with legion projects.

“I remember telling Deb then that I thought she and Les were the glue that held the Legion in Terrace together,” said Winsor.

Terrace Youth Soc-cer Association president Bill Warcup said Sinnott always helped out with any issues or problems with his vast knowledge of the game.

He said Sinnott will be “sadly missed in the community. He was al-ways involved with ev-erything, always in-volved in any kind of sport and anything that needed doing, he did it.”

Sinnott was the dis-trict soccer rep and chair of the 2004 Boys B Pro-vincial Cup for, played at Christy Park in Ter-race.

Sinnott wanted to put in a bid to bring the

girls provincial soccer championship here for 2008, which was post-poned. Soccer coach-es here are carrying on those efforts.

The BC Soccer As-sociation posted a page in memory of Sinnott, who was fi rst vice-presi-dent of B.C. soccer, call-ing him a “true friend and tireless supporter of our sport.”

Sinnott was a BC Soccer Board leader since 2003, including being youth vice-presi-dent, chair of the gover-nance committee from 2006, and fi rst vice-pres-ident as of 2009.

He was a regular B.C. board rep at pro-vincial championships throughout the province, and was also the tire-less “face of BC Soc-cer” throughout north-ern B.C.

As a member of the Canadian Soccer As-sociation Governance Committee since 2008, he contributed to soccer nationally as the soccer association developed its governance initia-tives, which redefi ned how soccer is being led for the next decade in the nation.

The BC Soccer As-sociation sent some of its representatives to Sinnott’s funeral service here earlier this week at Knox United Church and plans to hold a re-ception later this month to honour him.

At his service, lo-cal legion member Peter Crompton did the legion tribute to Sinnott.

Part of the tribute is laying a red maple leaf on the casket.

One of the du-ties Les Sin-nott did for the legion was to present cheques to organiza-tions the legion supported. That’s Sinnott left, and legion member Peter Crompton, right, present-ing Bill McRae with a cheque for $10,000 for the Happy Gang Centre basement fl oor renovations and installation of an elevator in 2011.

Sten Sundin takes the Junior Jubilee titleBy Moe HaysTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - It is a most enjoy-able experience to watch the youth par-ticipating at any activity that adults feel is worthwhile. When they are competing with a sense of fair play and sportsman-ship, the awards are immeasurable.

We enjoyed all the benefi ts of watch-ing youth compete at sports on Saturday and Sunday.

The Centennial Golf Course host-ed the Annual Junior Jubilee this past weekend, enjoying the company of vis-iting junior boys from Terrace, Kitimat and Smithers.

A putt that wouldn’t drop kept Prince Rupert Junior member Sten Sun-din from shooting an even par round, but could not stop him from taking the title as Junior Jubilee Champion for 2012.

The outstanding athlete, who excels at hockey and golf and is the recipient of the 2012 Larry Gordon Memorial Schol-arship for combining academics with his sports achievements, shot rounds of 72 and 71 over the pleasant weekend.

Smithers Junior Nathan Cachia took second place and was awarded Champi-onship Flight gross, joined by his broth-er Jacob, who took gross honours in the

First Flight, followed by J.J. McMunn of Prince Rupert.

Cody Bailey from the Skeena Valley Golf Club in Terrace captured the Over-all Low Net title, while Championship Flight net was awarded to Mitch Turko of Smithers. Dallis Kerbrat from Hirsch Creek in Kitimat is the First Flight net winner.

Bailey is the son of former Prince Rupert resident Alan Bailey.

Congratulations to the boys, mainly playing their fi rst year of golf, who par-ticipated in their own division playing nine holes each day.

Keenan Marogna along with broth-er, Cole, of Prince Rupert and Calvin Turko (Smithers) fi nished at the top of the group.

The Annual Putting Competition featured an elimination round in the two divisions. Cole Marogna represented the nine hole players, taking on Jacob Ca-chia from the senior group, with Ma-rogna taking the title with three pars in the fi nal.

Pam Hays was Chairman of the event, with thanks to Tim Hortons and Canada Safeway for supplying treats and to the Marogna and Rabel families, as well as Glenn Reece for their assis-tance.

Derby girls are on the hunt for northwest recruits By Anna Killen THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

TERRACE - Former Terrace resident and member of the National Roller Derby team Brie “Bone Machine” Bird-sell was back in Terrace last week hosting a training camp for local roller derby team the Northcoast Nightmares.

On Tuesday and Wednes-day, at the Hawkair hang-er and Sportsplex arena, re-spectively, around 15 players rolled out to learn how to up their game from Birdsell, who has been playing for six years in Montreal.

“I went from not being able to stay up on my skates to playing for Team Canada in that time,” she said, not-ing she didn’t play while she lived in Terrace. She cred-its her experiences with her Montreal team the New Skids on the Block, ranked third in the Eastern Region, as well as the Montreal Roller Der-by league’s athletic training regime with sharpening her

skills.Roller derby bouts see

teams of fi ve-on-fi ve skate the oval track. Points are won by each team’s jammer, whose job is to break away from the group, making laps on the rest of the pack. The sport has seen a major surge over the past few years, attracting a large spectator following in part be-cause of the players’ colourful personalities and hard-hitting match-ups.

The Nightmares were hap-py to have Birdsell here. “The boot camp itself was an amaz-ing experience,” said Night-mares’ president Tanya “Lady IzaHella” Laton. “I don’t think we have ever pushed ourselves that hard before.”

“I know that everyone came out of it a stronger more confi dent player,” she said, noting that there were attend-ees from other teams, some as far away as Nova Scotia at the camp.

“The Terrace girls were great to train,” said Birdsell, noting they improved greatly

over the two days, “They were quick learners, very open to feedback and hungry for more knowledge in their sport. I really enjoyed being able to share my knowledge with the derby players of my home-town.”

Terrace’s roller derby players are keen and ready to get game play happening in Terrace, but more infrastruc-ture – refs, offi cials, coaches – is needed to make that hap-pen.

“That’s the biggest chal-lenge of bringing a new sport to a community,” she said. But, “with all of the hockey and community sports that are present in Terrace, once they have more of a structure in place, roller derby could re-ally take off.”

Terrace’s derby team is on the hunt for volunteers and new recruits.

They have 10 bench-marked players ready to roll and are working hard to in-crease that number.

Laton stresses the need for

teams and players in the sur-rounding communities.

“A couple of weeks ago a few Nightmares as well as some girls from the Prince George team, met up with la-dies in Smithers for a der-by 101 session [Smithers is just starting their own team], which is just beyond excit-ing,” she said.

“Now all we have to do is wait for Prince Rupert and Kitimat to follow suit. If there is a group of women in any of our surrounding communities interested in getting a team started, we want to help,” she said.

“If anyone in town is inter-ested in coaching a new sport, I would highly recommend working with the Northcoast Nightmares,” echoed Birdsell. “They are a team of dedicated women willing to train hard to be competitive in roller derby, and have fun doing it.”

Feel free to contact the team at [email protected] or fi nd them on Facebook.

Riverboat scrum...

ANNA KILLEN/ THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

TERRACE - The Terrace Northmen wrapped up their season by hosting their annual Rugby 7’s tournament over Riverboat Days weekend. Here, the Terrace Men’s Jr. team, made up of recent graduates, faces off against the Smithers/Houston team. Smithers/Houston, with their fi rst organized team, took the match. The fi nal game was between the Northmen’s division two team and Prince Rupert, with Terrace taking it, and the 1000 dollar prize, 40 - 17. Rupert beat the Northmen’s division one team to make it to the fi nal. “Rupert has really improved,” said Northmen president Evan Van Dyck.
