TERRACE - The area’s new year’s baby shares a middle name with her sisters, mom and great-grandmas. Mariah Rose Gurney was born at 8 p.m. Jan. 2, weighing nine pounds and three ounces, to mom Allison at Mills Memorial Hospital, seven days after her expected birth date of Dec. 26.

Baby Mariah was also welcomed by her three older siblings: Bryson, 7; Keishia, 3 and Jazlyn, 2. Allison, 24, says her mom named her Allison Rose – her middle name is her grandmother’s name – and she liked it so much she also gave it to all three of her daughters as their middle name. It’s also Mariah’s greatgrandmother’s name on her dad’s side.

“My son wanted to name my daughter ‘cupcake,’” said Allison, adding when everyone went to the store, Bryson wanted to get his baby sister something so he chose a little undershirt with cupcakes on it. He really wanted a brother but is happy to have three sisters, she added. Mariah and her family live in New Aiyansh. Northern Health announced that the first baby

of the new year born in the region was a boy in Fort St. John on New Year’s Day. That baby also holds the distinction of being the only boy born early in the new year. The new year’s babies born in Prince Rupert, Smithers and Kitimat were all girls born on Jan. 2, 3 and 4, respectively. Mariah Rose Gurney will receive a selection of gifts from local merchants.

Passengers stranded at Prince Rupert airport for 10 hours amid delays By Martina Perry THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - Prince Rupert’s Sheryl Sadorski is upset her parents and other Air Canada passengers were “held hostage” at the Prince Rupert Airport (YPR) for more than eight hours on Jan. 5. Scheduled to depart at 10:50 a.m., the Air Canada Express flight didn’t leave Digby Island until just after 6 p.m. last Monday. Jazz Aviation, the operator of the flight, said the delay was caused by an icy runway, with YPR’s manager saying this is not the case. Sadorski said passengers weren’t given the option to leave and weren’t provided with any food until hours into their wait. “My dad is diabetic and there was no food for them,” she said, adding the vending machine took her father’s money and provided no food in return when he tried to make a selection. “He suffered,” the daughter said of her father’s situation. Sadorski questioned why passengers weren’t sent back to Prince Rupert on the bus which then takes them to a ferry for the prolonged delay, or given the option to cancel their ticket. Adding to the frustration, Sadorski said it was difficult to get a hold of airport staff and YPR’s Air

Canada Express agent throughout the day. She claims it wasn’t until she got ahold of an Air Canada representative in the late afternoon that light snacks were offered to passengers. “You couldn’t talk to anybody. Nobody wanted to own up to what was going on,” Sadorski said, adding she eventually was told equipment failures for deicing the plane and apron caused the delay. Debra Williams, manager of corporate communications for Jazz Aviation, said the delay was because of weather and runway conditions. “We understand the inconvenience caused by weather delays. While these situations are completely outside of our control, we do all possible to minimize the inconvenience to passengers and get them on their way as soon as it is safe to do so,” she said. “Due to the delay, passengers were provided with snacks ... approximately two hours after what would have been the scheduled departure time,” Williams said. But Richard Reed, Prince Rupert Airport manager, said the runway had nothing to do with the postponement. Airport staff reports the runway was acceptable for use all day, aside from 11 a.m. when it started snowing.

“The issues with Air Canada are their own. They’re related to their ground crews and to their agents not providing food for their customers,” said Reed of events that day. Reed said de-icing equipment owned by Air Canada’s contractor failed, so the plane was unable to leave. When another de-icer became available after the afternoon Hawkair flight departed, Air Canada-users were boarded, but the equipment failed again and passengers remained onboard until another was obtained. Reed said it’s the airline’s decision not to send its customers back to Prince Rupert “The city provides the ferry and the bus, but they’re at the command of the airlines. If the airline says to take its customers back, they go back,” he explained of the service provided through the city-run airport. Reed said the airport will work with Air Canada to provide accurate information to customers in the future and said a contingency plan needs to be developed so people don’t go without food again. “We need to be considerate ... and get them food, water, comfort and information,” Reed said of passengers. “There’s no reason for what happened. Absolutely none at all.”

Kitimat sales dip

Firefighters, cadets aid army …

By Cameron Orr

THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

KITIMAT - For the B.C. Northern Real Estate Board’s year-end report, it found fewer homes, and fewer dollars, were exchanged in 2014. They say for Kitimat, 146 properties, in total worth $41.6 million, changed hands. In 2013 that was 234 properties, worth $56.9 million. That’s an approximately 26 per cent drop in the total value of sales. The median value of a single family home, they say, is $323,000. In addition to those sales they say 16 half-duplexes were sold, while 27 townhouses were sold. By the close of 2014, 94 properties were for sale, of all types, which compares to the 23 for sale as 2013 came to a close. Meanwhile in Terrace, 351 properties sold last year worth $87.3 million. The year before, 384 were sold, worth $87.8 million. In Prince Rupert, 289 properties changed hands in 2014 worth $63.2 million, while in 2013 it was 384 properties worth $55 million. That makes Prince Rupert the only Northwest town, among the three, which saw an increase in sales from 2013 to 2014, despite a decrease in value.

Semis collide

NEW HAZELTON - Weather and road conditions were the causes of a Jan. 4, 2015 collision involving to semi trucks and one SUV, report New Hazelton RCMP. The three-vehicle incident began 2:35 p.m. that day as a semi truck was traveling westbound on Hwy 16 during a snow storm. As it slowed to enter the Petro Canada gas station, it was rear ended by a second semi truck. A third vehicle, an SUV, was unable to stop in time and rear ended the second semi. No injuries were sustained, however the SUV was rendered immobile from the collision.

HAFI Funds Home Modifications for Disabled Man When Lorie and Walter bought their home in Port Alberni 13 years ago they slowly began renovating the unfinished basement to accommodate Walter’s changing needs as his muscular dystrophy advanced. “The basement was a black hole when we moved in,” recalled Walter. “After 12 years of skimping and saving, we made the downstairs completely wheelchair accessible, except for the bathroom. It was way too small. I could only stand for about a minute and a half without collapsing in the shower stall and I could no longer pull myself out of the tub in the upstairs’ bathroom, even with Lorie’s help.” Through funding from BC Housing’s Home Adaptations for Independence (HAFI) program, Walter and Lorie were able to work with a contractor to transform the space. A wall was removed to make room for a wheelin shower with benches, grab bars were installed, and the vanity and fixtures were relocated.

“ I just slide into the shower now,” said Walter. “I feel safer and no longer dread trying to wash myself. What was previously a dangerous chore for me is now a welcome treat.” Walter and Lorie hope to spend the rest of their lives in their home. The HAFI program provides financial assistance to help eligible low-income seniors and people with disabilities adapt their homes so they can continue to live independently.

Radiation sampling is underway in Prince Rupert harbour By Martina Perry THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - Volunteers across British Columbia, including in Prince Rupert, are working together to estimate public health risks associated with radioactive isotopes drifting from the Fukushima nuclear power plant. In March of 2011, a magnitude 9.0 earthquake caused three of six nuclear reactors at the FukushimaDaiichi nuclear power plant in Ja-

pan to meltdown, resulting in the release of radioisotopes into the Pacific Ocean. Models of ocean circulation and mixing have predicted North Pacific currents will transport a contaminated plume to Canadian waters that, when present in elevated concentrations, could potentially cause environmental and public health concerns on Canada’s West and Arctic coasts. While researchers have stated the impact to Canada isn’t likely to

be significant, sufficient monitoring hasn’t been performed to adequately quantify the risks. This is why Fukushima InFORM, a collaborative radiation monitoring network consisting of academic, government and nongovernment organizations, along with citizen scientists, formed. InFORM will gather data in order to determine the environmental risks and will disseminate this information to the public so people can minimize exposure to potentially

The results will be shared online. Paavola will be taking samples every month.

harmful levels of radiation. Prince Rupert’s Cheryl Paavola, a science lab technician and instructor at Northwest Community College, got involved with the network through Citizen Scientists, a volunteer group, leading sample collection duties in the community. On Friday, Paavola and a group of volunteers from Northwest Community College retrieved water samples from the Yacht Club dock. “The idea is to collect samples once a month roughly to monitor

Housing resource worker wants discussion around trailer park By Cameron Orr

THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

KITIMAT - A request to give a tax write-off to a trailer on a pad at the Vista Village Trailer Park was put on temporary hold, at least until council could receive written reports on the matter. Housing resource worker Paul Lagace encouraged council not to rush in to granting the request, which amounts to $1,373.84. The District Treasurer Steve Christiansen, in his report to council, said it would not be economic to take the property to a tax sale, and court action would likely be more cost than they could recover. However, Lagace said this specific trailer has a history which ties in to the larger issues he’s seen at the trailer court. In the October 1, 2014 Senti-

nel, we reported on a number of problems facing residents at the park, which were extreme enough to push residents to form a tenancy association. In this particular case relating to the tax write off, he said the landlord took possession of the trailer under a technicality. Pad rentals were overdue, but the notice was addressed to the trailer’s previous owner, whose name was apparently still attached to it. The current owner did not respond to the notice, and an arbitrator for the residential tenancy branch issued the order of possession in favour of the landlord. That leads to the request for the tax write-off, which is necessarily before the landlord can have the trailer demolished. Christiansen told council that the trailer is livable, but in poor shape.

“It’s livable, the porch to get in to it is unsafe, it should be removed and rebuilt,” he said, also noting signs of deterioration in the ceilings. “It is not in good shape, it’s getting close to end of life. It is a 70s trailer.” Christiansen said that from his perspective, with no one living there and taxes unpaid, the question is not about the evictions, but how to effectively deal with the delinquent taxes. Council moved to table the request until written reports, from Kitimat staff and from Lagace, could be received for them to review. “My hope is that it will be an opportunity to engage what’s going on here,” Lagace said about what he hopes will come out of this latest discussion.

Another factor in crowding is that about half of the roughly 2,500 inmates in the B.C. system on an average day are awaiting trial or sentencing. Safety and security incident reports have been on the rise in most facilities in recent years, with the highest rate of nearly 1,200 a year at Fraser Regional Correctional Centre in Maple Ridge. Nanaimo and Prince George both recorded nearly 800 incidents a year by 2012, with lower rates at Vancouver Island, Surrey Pretrial, North Fraser Pretrial and Kamloops. The auditor’s report says one

reason for the increase is that incidents are being reported and tracked on a more systematic basis. Bellringer also notes that there isn’t a clear definition of what constitutes a safety and security incident, and B.C. Corrections doesn’t have a target of what constitutes an acceptable level. Justice Minister Suzanne Anton said conditions in B.C. prisons are improving thanks to a $185 million construction program, including an addition to Surrey Pretrial, a new women’s wing at Prince George and expansion of Alouette Correctional Centre for Women.

Prison crowding being probed By Tom Fletcher THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

VICTORIA - B.C. provincial prisons remain overcrowded despite a decline in custodial sentences in recent years, and “safety and security incidents” have increased substantially, a report from B.C.’s Auditor General has found. About half of cells designed for one inmate are double-bunked in the B.C. system, and Auditor General Carol Bellringer concludes that is a contributing factor in maintaining safety in B.C.’s nine facilities for adult inmates.

Terrace council ponders ways to involve more of its citizens By Anna Killen THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

TERRACE - City council is expected Jan. 26 to confirm the list of city committee appointments to be taken on by councillors. The list is being developed by mayor Carol Leclerc after asking individual councillors for their committee preferences ranging from finance to the public library to recreation to the Riverboat Days committee. Leclerc, who was sworn into office in early December, has also asked councillors for their opinions on how the current committee structure has worked over the past several years. That means there could be some changes as to which community groups receive city liaisons and which don’t, with staff indicating they would be in communication with various groups in the coming weeks. One of the major discussion points of a council session in December was laying out to community groups the role of a city council appointee to those groups. For instance, there was consensus that a city council appointee should not be expected to attend every committee or group meeting. Council members also discussed the challenge of communicating with city residents and

councillors appeared keen on town-hall style meetings or community forums. “That’s something I heard a lot about during the campaign,” said first-term councillor Michael Prevost. “A lot of people wanting opportunities to discuss topics of concern with council.” Prevost added that the topics would have to be specific in order for the meetings to stay on track and that the city should consider ways to engage people where they’re at, outside of council chambers. Leclerc said that the public would probably appreciate further information on the Skeena Industrial Development Park. “When we finish our strategic planning … it would be nice to do some shoulder tapping

in the community and tell them this is what are plans are going forward,” she said. City councillors are also preparing their own ideas for involving more citizens. Councillor Stacey Tyers, for example, told fellow council members

‘Makers best Saints in weekend series

By Kevin Campbell

PRINCE RUPERT - He was only missing in action for one quarter, but that’s all it took for the Queen Charlotte Saints to capitalize on Rainmakers’ point guard Rosendo Masocol’s absence and defeat Charles Hays’ senior boys basketball team Saturday morning. A cut lower lip during play forced the ‘Maker to the dressing room in a tight, closely-fought 7672 loss to the Saints – only Charles Hays’ second loss of the year. In the three-game weekend series, Charles Hays took it two games to one with wins Friday night (90-85) and Saturday night (90-69). “The games are very good – they’re very intense,” said Rupert senior boys’ head coach Mel Bishop. Masocol’s loss was largely felt as the ‘Makers saw a 10-point 4030 halftime lead slip away and the Saints tied the affair 51-51 after three quarters. From there, it was a back-andforth contest with players on each side missing some jump shots but hitting consecutive threes all the way down to the final seconds of the game. And just when it seemed like the team had finally swatted away the injury bug, the Rainmakers’ Justin McChesney was forced to miss the weekend’s action with a sore ankle. “Nothing major,” said the athlete on Saturday. He’ll suit up in Lower Mainland

But the big man’s presence was sorely missed going up against one of B.C.’s strongest secondary school teams in the Saints.

Jesse Barnes, a powerful sixfoot-six Saints player dominated much of the inside game on Saturday morning’s affair and it’s no surprise. Barnes played on B.C.’s under-17 team last year. “He’s one of the better guys in the province,” said Bishop. “It’s very hard [containing him] because first of all, he’s six-foot-six and we’re guarding him with a six-

Kings nab back-to-back wins against Rampage By Anna Killen THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

TERRACE - The Terrace River Kings closed out 2014 with a 3-0 loss to the Smithers Steelheads – one which ended the Kings’ months-long winning streak – but opened 2015 with two back-to-back wins against the Prince Rupert Rampage to reassert their dominance of the 2014/2015 CIHL season. That puts the Kings at 12-2 with 24 points going into this weekends’ games, the final games of the regular season. That’s a rematch in Rupert on Friday, where the Rampage will surely be looking for blood. The Kings took the Rampage 6-5 Friday, Jan. 2 in Terrace and 6-2 on Rupert’s ice Jan. 3. The Kings are back in Terrace this Saturday, where the Kings host the Quesnel Kangaroos, who are sitting at 6-6 in the east with 13 points at the

time of this writing. That’ll be the first and only time they face off against the ‘Roos. The Williams Lake Stampeders are on top of the CIHL standings with 26 points. Terrace took its one and only regular season game against them 9-6 back in November. CIHL playoffs start Jan. 31, with Terrace facing off against rivals the Smithers Steelheads in the first round. This should be a heated series as the Steelheads (8-4) are the only team that’s been able to beat Terrace this year, handing them both of their losses – a 5-3 loss in October in Smithers and December’s defeat, also in Smithers. Terrace has been able to find Smithers’ number twice, a 9-4 win in Terrace on Oct. 4 and a 5-4 win in Terrace on Nov. 8. Home ice for the first game of the series is still to be determined.

foot-one guy and he’s very strong. Very athletic.” Barnes ended the game with 35 points, and Kaine Wesley, one of the souls tasked with defending him with McChesney’s absence, knew this would be a tough game going into it. “I expected it to be a harder game today because [Friday] night, we were down by 16, came back

and won the game by five and then I knew today was going to be an even harder battle because these guys are a pretty good team altogether,” said Wesley. “With Justin out I knew I had to put more effort into it.” And with McChesney on the sidelines, the height difference between the two teams was exposed. “We’re actually a smaller team overall at most positions so we got beat at the board a little bit, but I thought the kids played hard this game,” said Bishop. “Without Justin, it hurts us a little bit ... just on the inside, he’s just a presence shotblocking and taking some shots.” Wesley was one of three starters making their return to the team after lengthy absences due to injury. His left ankle forced the athlete to miss some time while Kyler Reece and Perry Terrell also came back from previous ailments. Grant Moody hit five threepointers to finish with 15 points, Jaylund Russ put up nine points and Kostan Lewis had 10 for Queen Charlotte. Masocol led the way for Charles Hays with 24 points in the three quarters he played while Wesley sunk 18 points, Terrell had 10 and Nicolis Campbell notched eight. Five straight points to start the fourth quarter gave the Saints their 56-51 lead that they would never relinquish. Wesley and Masocol did an admirable job pulling the team close, but Barnes and his supporting cast were just too much for the squad on that morning.

Winterfest to still go on without Rail Jam

Lt. Gov. sponsors environmental youth program

THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

By Cameron Orr

VICTORIA - Organizers for the Rail Jam event, which was scheduled for January 23, have cancelled it, due to lack of snow. “It’s only two weeks away and looking at the forecast they’re calling for way more rain,” said Rail Jam committee member Trish Parsons. “We just don’t have enough snow to do a decent snow pile.” Even so, the Winterfest celebration, which had been organized in tandem with Rail Jam, will go on. For the second year of Winterfest’s return, Kitimatians will again get a taste of the francophone culture, with a traditional brunch and live music. AFFNO’s (L’Association des Francophones et Francophiles du Nord-Ouest) Executive Director Patrick Witwicki, based in Prince Rupert, has been working with volunteers and organizers in Kitimat to make this year’s event an even greater step above last year’s. The Winterfest will begin with a ‘kickoff social’ at Rosario’s Restau-

rant on January 22 at 7 p.m. This free event will essentially be an introduction to Winterfest activities, a chance for people to learn about what it is, and a chance to enjoy some acoustic music. A Winterfest Brunch is set to take place at noon at the Riverlodge on January 24, which will include traditional Quebec foods. “Anyone who hasn’t gone [to the brunch] is truly missing out. The food is ridiculous,” Witwicki said, meaning of course in a good way. They use real maple syrup in their recipes and the food is made from scratch, and that includes meat pies and sugar pies, and beans in maple syrup, he said. Witwicki adds it will be a nice family event with activity stations for kids, and they’ll offer the toffee on the snow as well, which is a kid favourite. Even with Rail Jam cancelled, there will be an ‘after party’ at the Legion on January 23. A cover charge for that event will be required, and will feature the Hazelton band Axes of Ego. Witwicki said he is thankful for the Kitimat-based volunteers.

By Tom Fletcher VICTORIA - Inspired by her holistic ranching background, Lieutenant Governor Judith Guichon has launched a province-wide environmental education program for high school teachers and youth leaders. Stewards of the Future offers grants of up to $800 per group to cover field trips, fees for programs and guess speakers, equipment and teacher release time for projects. It is offered for students from grades 9-12, First Nations educators, 4-H, Guide and Scout groups and environment clubs, with an application deadline of Jan. 23 for the spring program. “Through Stewards of the Future, students will have the opportunity to explore issues that affect the land, water and other natural resources in British Columbia,” Guichon said. “The goal of this program is not to solve the challenges we face, but rather to encourage open discussion and gain a better understanding of the issues that affect our natural surroundings.” Program partners, including the education ministry and B.C. Parks, offer support for projects such as research on invasive species leading to mapping and removal. The Stewards of the Future toolkit emphasizes hands-on “place-based” experience to appreciate and enhance biodiversity.

Guichon and her late husband Lawrence Guichon are credited with pioneering holistic management in the B.C. cattle industry, emphasizing preservation of natural grassland on their historic Merritt-area ranch. Holistic management, developed by African biologist and game ranger Allan Savory, overturned the long-held belief that overgrazing is the result of too many animals. Savory proved that reducing the number of animals doesn’t restore grasslands, which developed in the presence of large herds that were kept closely bunched and moving to avoid predators. Planned grazing mimics that pattern and gives grasslands time to recover. Details and application forms for the Stewards of the Future program are available at the Lieutenant Governor’s website, www.ltgov.bc.ca Guichon intends to visit programs in the province and incorporate an awards program for participants.

2014 port tonnage drops in Prince Rupert By Shaun Thomas THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - The Port of Prince Rupert’s run of recordbreaking years came to an end in 2014. All told, cargo through terminals located on Prince Rupert Port Authority land fell by 10.33 per cent last year, dropping from a record of just shy of 23 million tonnes in 2013 to 20.6 million tonnes at the end of December. The largest year-to-year decline came from Ridley Terminals Inc. which, amid a drop in energy prices, saw its overall tonnage drop from a record of 12 million tonnes last year to just over 7.1 million tonnes this year – a drop of 41.09 per cent. Thermal coal movement through the terminal was down 46.25 per cent, metallurgical coal was down 42.9 per cent and petroleum coke was down 21.85 per cent. In December alone RTI saw its tonnage drop 70

per cent, from more than one million tonnes last December to just 322,494 tonnes last month. Also experiencing declining cargo volumes this year was shipments from the harbour, led largely by the movement of raw logs. This year cargo through the harbour dropped 15.46 per cent, from 417,527 tonnes in 2013 to 352,966 tonnes in 2014. Like RTI, yearto-year shipments in December dropped drastically from 35,706 tonnes last December to just 3,653 tonnes last month, a drop of 89.77 per cent. While those two terminals saw declining volumes, both Fairview Terminal and Prince Rupert Grain saw year-over-year increases in cargo. This year Fairview Terminal handled 618,167 TEUs compared to 536,439 last year, an increase of 15.24 per cent, with imports climbing 18.47 per cent from 303,840 TEUs to 359,959.5 TEUs and exports climbing 11.01

per cent from 232,599.25 TEUs to 258,207.5 TEUs. Of those exports, 156,998 TEUs were loaded compared to 151,624 TEUs last year, an increase of 3.54 per cent. In December, tonnage through Fairview Terminal increased 50.6 per cent compared to last December, jumping from 38,993 TEUs to 60,232 TEUs, with imports up 61.86 per cent and exports up 35.67 per cent. Prince Rupert Grain’s yearend total rose from 5.1 million tonnes last year to 6.5 million tonnes this year, a difference of 25.69 per cent, driven by an increase in wheat and canola shipments. December saw shipments through Prince Rupert Grain increase from 371,980 tonnes to 412,336 tonnes, a difference of 10.85 per cent. In its first full year of operation, Westview Terminal shipped 511,741.51 tonnes of wood pellets, including 45,197.98 tonnes last month.

Prince Rupert Port Authority president and CEO Don Krusel said the continued growth at Fairview Terminal and Prince Rupert Grain shows the potential for the port in the future. “The record-breaking performance of specific terminals demonstrates the value of building a diversified port complex. A strong year in some sectors offsets challenges faced by others. This underlines the port’s overall resilience, and its ability to sustain benefits to our community despite market fluctuations,” he said, noting much of the credit for the success goes to those working on the ground day in and day out. “The enviable global reputation of all Prince Rupert’s terminals is owed to their hard-working men and women. Their commitment to safety, efficiency and reliability is the foundation of our ability to handle unprecedented cargo volumes — with more to come in the year ahead.”

Call made for Highway 16 transportation By Shaun Thomas THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - North Coast MLA Jennifer Rice received some powerful support in her call for public transportation along Highway 16 as the Organization of American States released a report on Monday calling for “the Canadian state to immediately provide a safe public transport option along Highway 16”. The report, entitled Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women in British Columbia, was prepared by the OAS’s Inter-American Commission on Human Rights and further ruled that, under internation law, Canada and the provincial government have a legal duty to take action. It called for a national, coordinated response to address root social and economic causes.

TERRACE - Gerran Thorhaug of Don Diego’s presents the Salvation Army’s Major Warrick pilgrim with a cheque for $300 and more than 200 toys donated at his restaurant’s sweet toys for christmas drive where everyone who brings an unwrapped toy received a free dessert.

TERRACE - The weather may have plunged into winter full-on but local search and rescue volunteers are still watching conditions to see when they can continue their search for a Red Deer man who went missing in the Skeena River in November. “We want to search a log jam and adjacent pools about 1 km below where the truck entered the water,” said Dwayne Sheppard of Terrace Search and Rescue last week. “We will drill holes in the ice and search under the log jam and adjacent pools using underwater cameras.” Dustin Steele, 23, was last seen on November 1 at approximately 9 p.m. in the Copper Flats area, when a truck he and two friends were in was driven into the river and became caught in the current, reported Terrace RCMP

Nov. 3. Two of the men made it to shore and Dustin was last seen in the back of the floating truck heading downstream on the Skeena River, said police at that time. Search and rescue volunteers and many individuals went out for many days afterward looking for Steele. On Dec. 14, 13 volunteers conducted five different search assignments on the Skeena River, focussing on searching the shoreline and shallow water areas, said Sheppard at that time. Sheppard said some clues were found several hundred metres below where the truck was recovered; a child seat, boot and other miscellaneous items. White River Helicopters also donated flying time to the search effort, which allowed a team to search from the air and into more isolated areas.

Robert Hartley Hill

May 8, 1942 - December 21, 2014 for more information 1-800-663-6189 www.transplant.bc.ca

Coming Events

Robert Hartley Hill, also fondly known as Abbey and Bob, 72, went to his heavenly home on December 21, 2014 after a valiant battle with a long illness with his wife Violet at his side. His devotion too Violet and his family, along with his firm belief in God supported him in his struggles and ultimately gave him peace.

Information

Robert was born to Marjorie Hill (nee Robinson) from Hartley Bay and the late Ernest Matthew Hill from Kitkatla, on May 8, 1942, in Hartley Bay BC. Robert Hartley Hill is survived by his wife, Violet Hill nee Boudreau; his sons Ron, Darren and Todd Wilson; his daughters Jo-Lynda Hill and Marji Basso; His mother Marjorie Hill; brothers Ernest Goodlet and Clare Hill; his sisters Violet Adams and Doris Bertrand; eight grandchildren and many nieces and nephews. He is preceded by his father, Ernie Hill; his grandparents Violet and Ambrose Robinson and Matthew and Clara Hill and his brother in law Julius Boudreau.

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING Mental Health and Addictions Advisory Committee Wed. January 21,2015 12:00 p.m. - 1:00 p.m. LUNCH PROVIDED THE CORE OFFICE Ocean Centre Mall (Across from the Health Unit)

Robert was immersed in his culture and the church. Both would be his lifelong support that made him an active leader not only for the Gitgaâ€™at Nation but for all Nations that needed support and a voice. He was an elder in the church and was devoted to Hartley Bay choir. He spent many years as a heavy duty mechanic and loved to work on boats. He was also the President of the Tsimshian Tribal Council for many years. He was the voice of the Tsimshian Nation. Robert had many friends that he met throughout his life's journey and built lifelong relationships with them based on respect and â€œa matter of factâ€? honesty.

Lost & Found

Robert was blessed by being able to move people with the gift of speech. Whether it was in Smâ€™algyx (his cultural language) or modern day English his words would penetrate your heart. He was able to walk in both worlds side by side and did it with honour and pride.

In Memoriam

Services for Robert will be held Saturday, January 24, 2015, at 7pm, First United Church in Prince Rupert and in Hartley Bay on Saturday, January 31, 2015.

Nellie Olive CARPENTER September 1, 1920 December 26, 2014 Nellie slipped away quietly in the late evening of Boxing Day, having been in the hospital since November 21, 2014. Born in Fleines in Hadsel, Norway, Nellie immigrated to Prince Rupert with her mother Anna Anderson and her younger siblings, Ole, Magnus and Ingrid to join her dad Peder Anderson, who had been halibut fishing from Prince Rupert for several years. Nellie was 10 years old and did not speak English. She attened Seal Cove School and Booth Memorial High School and later worked in the old General Hospital as a domestic worker - scrubbing floors in the operating room and eviscerating poultry in the kitchen - for one dollar a day. On February 14, 1942, Nellie married fisherman John Spencer Carpenter, with whom she raised two children. She became an excellent cook and housekeeper, a generous hostess and a gifted crafts person. Knitting, crocheting, floral arranging, and baking were among her accomplishments - especially knitting! Surviving Nellie are her brother Magnus Anderson (Ann); daughter Evelyn (Robert Simonds); son Brian (Kerry); grandchildren Kevin, Trina (Alex Batko) and Christine Woollacott (Neil Dickson) and many nieces and nephews. Nellie was predeceased by her husband John; brother Ole and sister Ingrid. Nellieâ€™s ashes will be interred with her parents and brother, Ole, in Burnaby B.C. She requested no memorial service. Instead you are invited to remember Nellie at an afternoon tea on Valentineâ€™s Day, Saturday, February 14, 2015 at 2118 Atlin Avenue, between 2:00 and 4:00 p.m.
