On Friday the US Federal Maritime Commission released its report into the movement of containers into the US through Canadian ports, and the report is a comprehensive look at the issue.

The largest issue being discussed during the investigation was the Harbour Maintenance Tax (HMT), which is charged at US ports to help with dredging and other maintenance. The report says this may be a reason shippers are going to through Canada instead of the US.

“We believe that $109 is a reasonable approximation of the average weighted HMT charged per FEU [forty foot equivalent] at U.S. ports. If U.S. importers were relieved from paying this tax or, equivalently, if a fee of this magnitude was imposed at the border on U.S. bound containers having used Canada’s west coast ports, a portion of the U.S. cargo that comes through the ports of Vancouver and Prince Rupert likely would revert to using U.S. west coast ports,” reads the report, while noting that only 2.6 per cent of west coast US bound imports were coming through Canada.

“The FMC has an interest in ensuring that U.S. ports remain competitive in the waterborne commerce arena. This task is not simple, as there are many factors involved. U.S. ports are competitive internationally; however, it would appear that

the HMT makes the challenge more difficult...It is clear that HMT is one of many factors affecting the increased use of foreign ports for cargo bound for U.S. inland destinations. While a user fee is necessary for U.S. ports to grow, the number of proposals in both the House and Senate, as well as from other sources, suggest that amendment to the current HMT structure should be given consideration.”

The report states some shippers choose to use Prince Rupert and Vancouver to diversify access to the US markets to avoid issues with natural disasters and work stoppages along one corridor. In terms of the cost of shipping the committee found that Prince Rupert is less costly than all other west coast ports, in part due to the harbour maintenance tax, but those savings may be cancelled out by other factors.

“While [the figures] would seem to suggest that Prince Rupert is simply a less expensive corridor for cargo heading to the Midwest, even prior to the inclusion of the HMT, discussions with importers suggest that this may not be the case. In fact, it has been suggested that rates through

Prince Rupert are lower to offset higher transportation costs at other places in the supply chain. For example, many shippers have made infrastructure investments closer to rail facilities operated by U.S. Railroads. In order to utilize Prince Rupert, the cargo must travel by rail on CN; the lower ocean rates are offered to account for the increased trucking cost to move containers from the CN railhead to the ultimate destination,” reads the report.

“As such, it is difficult to conclude that transportation costs are significantly lower when importers opt to use

Prince Rupert as their seaport of choice.”

Another area the report questions Prince Rupert is in the time saved in getting to US destinations.

“COSCO and Hanjin Lines both have ten day transits out of Shanghai to the Port of Prince Rupert. This beats the best transit times offered by APL, Maersk, and Hanjin Lines into the ports of LA/Long Beach by two days (10 vs.12 days), but COSCO and Hanjin’s faster transit times into Prince Rupert do not always translate into faster delivery to U.S. inland points,” it says.

By Alan S. Hale The Northern View

The Prince Rupert Port Authority is launching a new campaign to remind boaters that just because they’re not on a road doesn’t mean they don’t have to obey the speed limit.

The port is working with the RCMP, DFO and Transport Canada to increase their presence on the water for the rest of the summer. The port authority’s patrol boat, the Charles Hays, will have its operating hours extended.

They will also be putting up new signs at various locations around the harbour to tell boaters what the speed limits are. For

instance, signs will be put up at the Rushbrook and Port Edward boat launches so that people will know what the speed limit is before they even hit the water.

There are plenty existing signs in the harbour that advise boaters of speed limits and hazards which are in need of replacing. This is something the port will also be addressing.

“Our safety campaign this summer is focused on increasing public knowledge and awareness around the numerous speed zones that exist in the Prince Rupert harbour, and the reason for their existence,” said the port authority’s harbour master, Gary Paulson.

The reason for the speed limits

is to reduce the wake of boats and ships in sensitive areas of the harbour.

“The wake created by boats travelling too fast is hazardous to other vessels and waterfront properties. The Prince Rupert Yacht Club and Metlakatla dock are both prime examples of places where speed and wake need to be reduced to ensure public safety - and to prevent damage to the vessels and infrastructure that exist in those locations,” said Paulson.

There are a couple places around the harbour where vessels cannot go any faster than five

knots (or 9.3 kilometres per hour): immediately offshore from the Prince Rupert waterfront, Porpoise

Harbour, in front of Metlakatla village, and around the Digby Island airport dock.

BC Transit released their year end report on July 25, and the numbers show a decline in bus ridership in Prince Rupert and Port Edward.

According to BC Transit spokesperson Meribeth Burton, there were 353,828 trips recorded in Prince Rupert in the 2011/ 2012 transit year compared to 366,824 in the 2010/2011 year. That equates to a four per cent decline.

On the Port Edward route, ridership also dropped four per cent, falling from 34,460 in 2010/ 2011 to 33,179 in 2011/2012.

However, Burton says BC Transit hopes to see that turn around in the future.

“We are constantly reviewing our schedule to see what works and what does not. In Prince Rupert we hired a new regional manager to look at that and turn it around,” she said.

“It is not acceptable for BC Transit to see these dips. They

were only four per cent, but that is significant enough to get our attention.”

Across the province BC Transit saw a new ridership record with 51.6 million trips being taken, an increase of .7 per cent from the year before

By Alan S. HaleThe Northern View

Over a week ago, the Prince Rupert Northern View reported that City of Prince Rupert’s payroll costs were over $5-million more than that of Terrace; a city with only 1,000 fewer people that Rupert.

In fact, Prince Rupert pays more in staffing costs than any other community of its size in BC.

The Northern View compared Prince Rupert to Quesnel, Williams Lake, Powell River, Dawson Creek, Squamish and Salmon Arm; the populations of these communities, according to the 2011 Canadian Census, range from 10,000 people to 17,500 (Prince Rupert has about 12,500). Prince Rupert’s payroll is still larger than every one of these communities.

The closest community in payroll was Dawson Creek, which still spends $700,000 less than the $12.3-million Prince Rupert spends on its staff.

So why is this? There are a couple of reasons according to the City’s chief financial officer, Dan Rodin.

Prince Rupert is paying for services that most other municipalities do not. The best example is that the City runs the ferry that goes to and from Digby Island, something that none of the other municipalities have to do.

The Digby Island Ferry service runs everyday and employs nine crew members, all of which are making about $75,000 a year.

None of the other municipalities used for comparison with Prince Rupert run their own golf course either. Prince Rupert does, and it pays the salary of the golf course manager, which is also about $75,000 a year.

Then there’s the fact the Prince Rupert has a completely professional Fire Department, rather than the volunteer or mixed fire departments that most of the other municipalities have.

The Prince Rupert Fire Department has 15 professional fire fighters, which are all paid around $75,000 a year or more. Dawson Creek, which has the closest payroll costs to Rupert’s, also has a professional fire department with 14 paid fire fighters.

The fire department, along with the golf course and ferry service, accounts for about $1.9-million of the City’ payroll costs. But even if you subtract that from the City’s payroll, what remains is still well above the communities’ average payroll of $9.3-million.

One reason for this is likely the fact that there are so many city staff members making $75,000 a year or more. There a total of 45, in fact, compared to the 12 who do in Terrace.

While this is likely to strike many Rupertites as being very high, considering that average British Columbian’s salary is $44,750, Rodin says that what city workers are making is not out of the norm for public sector employees in BC.

Nor are of these salary levels are something that has happened recently, they have been this way for many, many years. And to save money on wages and benefits for city

staff could only be done in two ways. The City would have to convince the public sector unions

representing the city workers to take a drastic cut to their salaries or benefits. Nobody, no matter what job they are in, will just go along with a 30 per cent cut to their pay. So this is effectively a non-starter.

The other way is to save costs by reducing municipal services. If the City has less public services to provide, the less staff will be required in order to provide them.

So the question then becomes: how many reductions in services will Rupertites tolerate in order to save money? Not many, says Rodin.

To illustrate his point he points to the public backlash when Council considered the Moose Tot Park as a possible location for a new emergency building.

Using that site would save hundreds of thousands of dollars in land acquisition and construction costs – money that wouldn’t have to be borrowed and paid back with interest. But that didn’t seem to matter to many who c o m p l a i n e d to City Hall saying they wanted the park kept open, despite a promise that it would be replaced later.

Clearly not everyone has as much of a problem reducing services as others. During this spring’s budgeting process, there was a very forceful push by a few residents to have city council change the fire department into a volunteer service, which would save the City over a million dollars.

The council wasn’t nearly as certain that was a good idea though. Citing safety concerns and doubts about the ability to find volunteers, decided against examining that possibility any further.

City payroll costs so high due in part to ferry, fire dept.

RCMP seek information on missing boxes of dynamiteBy Shaun Thomas

The Northern View

The Terrace RCMP continue to seek information on two boxes of dynamite that went missing last week, and say they may have been picked up by vehicles on the road at the time.

RCMP investigators have determined that the dynamite was lost from the back of the delivery truck at approximately 12:00 p.m. on Monday, July 16th, between the 4 and 6 kilometre markers on the West Kalum Forest Service Road. One of three boxes was recovered within half an hour of the loss.

Investigators have confirmed that there were other vehicles on the road at the time that the dynamite fell off the truck and it may be that a motorist picked up the boxes shortly thereafter.

According to the company, this particular type of dynamite can be initiated by extreme instances of shock, friction or mechanical impact and should be handled and stored with care.

“The explosives do pose a health and safety risk to individuals not trained in handling it in addition to the risk to the general public should it not be properly stored at this time,” stated Cpl. Dan

Moskaluk.“The RCMP is seeking any

information that will lead to the return of these two boxes of explosives.”

Anyone with information on the whereabouts of this material or anyone who wishes to assist in seeing it safely returned, the RCMP ask that they contact the Terrace RCMP at 250-638-7415 or their local police services.

As well as the investigation by the Terrace RCMP, an internal investigation is being conducted by Orica Canada, the company that lost the boxes, about how it can be prevented in the future and if any disciplinary action is needed.

Salvation Army use in Rupert


The Salvation Army has been an important institution in Prince Rupert for more than a century. Established in 1910, the Prince Rupert branch of the Salvation Army has been dedicating its time and efforts to helping the needy in Prince Rupert ever since.

The Salvation Army has a number of services that it provides to Prince Rupert’s poor. They run a soup kitchen out their church on Fraser Street, which feeds the hungry on a daily basis.

The Soup Kitchen starts off each weekday with free breakfast at 7:30 a.m., then serves lunch between 11 a.m. and one p.m. Additionally, on Saturday’s the Soup Kitchen holds a pancake breakfast from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m.

Captain Gary Sheils of Prince Rupert’s Salvation Army ensures all people whom are in need of a meal to show up and utilize the Soup Kitchen.

Right across the street they have their food bank which receives food from private and commercial donations (from businesses like Overwaitea) as well as what the church can buy themselves. Just like the soup kitchen, anyone who needs food from the food bank is welcome to it.

People wishing to utilize the Food Bank can either call the Salvation Army at 250-624-6180, or make an appointment 250-624-6325.

According to Captain Sheils, the food bank has been averaging about 300 families a month this year, which is about the same as last year. The is has been par for the course for the past few years, with the amount of people in Prince Rupert who need help not getting much larger or smaller.

But two years ago the Salvation Army saw a noticeable increase in the amount of people using the Food Bank, which Captain Sheils said was partially caused the closure of Extra Foods. Prior to 2010, the number of families using the Food Bank was around 175.

The church also runs a popular thrift store, which is a valuable source of cheap clothing and other goods for the community. The store is also well supported by the community. Donations piled up at the storefront is not an uncommon sight after a long weekend.

The Salvation Army also helps people find people places to live. It currently has a deal with Raffles Inn to provide low-cost housing to people who need it.

OPINIONNorth Coast

I was, I would say, pleasantly surprised when I checked out the 64-page report from the Federal Maritime Commission about the movement of containers into the country through Canada.

It’s a well written report that literally looks at every aspect of importing containers through Canada as opposed to the US, taking things like cost, time, security, legislation and more into consideration. It recognizes the reason shippers may choose Prince Rupert over the US and does a bit of a dissection of each of the arguments for or against using Canada over the US.

Frankly I was expecting a stronger suggestion that there be some sort of tax or fee on imports through Canada to help off-set the Harbour Maintenance Tax. Although the idea was mentioned in the report, it was far from a focal point or a strongly worded suggestion, and it was even recognized that doing so may or may not be the answer.

The reality is it makes good business sense, as mentioned in the report, to have multiple points of entry into the US market in case of political or natural incidents that could put a kink in the distribution chain. If something is happening in Canada the product still gets there from the US and vice-versa- essentially putting all of your eggs in one basket.

What I was a bit surprised by was that the Federal Maritime Commission essentially said on the last page that the key to making US ports competitive with Canadian ones was to increase investments in that area of the economy. Rather than pointing the finger at what Canada does, the commission seemed to point it right back at the US and what they aren’t doing.

What the government now does with the report is anybody’s guess (especially given that most US government decisions are split down party lines). If they move ahead with trying to impose a tax or levy on containers coming through Canada then I imagine, or at least hope, they’ll have a fight on their hands from the BC and Canadian government. Ideally the US will listen to the reports and invest more to lower the competitive gap as opposed to trying to punish

Canadian companies and workers for the shortcomings of the US trade sector.

Regardless, I’m glad the process is over and the report is now out there for the public. Hopefully creates a bit more certainty on the waters and in the community.

And I encourage anyone who is interested in this kind of thing to check out the report at www.fmc.gov.

MY VIEW…

Government report a bit of a surprise...

When we host visiting travel writers or tour operators, the stories we tell are almost as well received as the sights and experiences we promote. In fact, we typically include a driving tour of the city as part of any itinerary on these occasions. We explain how the island and harbour were originally home to important winter villages for the Tsimshian, how the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway selected Kaien Island as the terminus of their transcontinental line and sent in the first survey crews in 1906. We talk about the population explosion of the war years, and the vitality of the place as a result of resource-based industry in the late 20th century.

One story that seems to mesh particularly well with what visitors experience today, and thus finds its way into many of the stories told of visiting Prince Rupert, is how we were once the “Halibut Capital of the World.”

A series of events quickly made Prince Rupert the Halibut Capital of the World. First came the construction of the Canadian Fish and Cold Storage in 1910, and the establishment of smaller companies such as Atlin Fisheries. The last spike on the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway in 1914 opened seafood markets in eastern Canada and the United States, and an Order-in-Council of 1915 allowed U.S. halibut fishermen to ship their catches in “bond” from Prince Rupert.

In 1915 a “mosquito fleet” of about 50 halibut boats, carrying crews of between four and 20 men, operated out of Prince Rupert, and under the new Order-in-Council American boats unloaded here as well.

During the month of September 1915 alone, 2,165,500 pounds of halibut were unloaded in Prince Rupert, and 62 carloads shipped fresh by the Grand Trunk Pacific into markets in eastern Canada and the United States in addition to that shipped out by steamship.

The Prince Rupert Fish Exchange was incorporated in October 1915, an auction system where members of the Exchange would buy the catches of each

arriving halibut boat. Over the next 60 years the Exchange would sell over a billion pounds of halibut – eventually in a dedicated building immediately north of Atlin Market. There are many stories of the “halibut trains” shipping fish from Prince Rupert to markets throughout North America, and oldtimers still smile at the thought of how

these dripping rail cars must have smelt as they passed through prairie towns.

It’s seldom remembered today how significant this halibut fishery was in its time, or the great community pride that stemmed from such a volume of business. The bragging rights generated by the halibut fishery were such that postcards used to be produced to document the biggest landings: March 1, 1921, when 445,000 pounds… February 27, 1925, 658,500 pounds… and the largest ever, September 27, 1937, 677,000 pounds.

Today a visitor might ask about the commercial halibut boats, perhaps even join a local charter operator to try landing one for themselves, or simply enjoy it prepared in myriad ways in local restaurants. But in each case they have established their own connection to the tale of how Prince Rupert was once the Halibut Capital of the World.

Recently I was reading about a study conducted in Canada’s east coast. The study, conducted on university aged couples reveals that partners often influence each others’ consumption patterns when it comes to binge drinking. Over a 28 day period the researchers were able to predict one partners binge drinking based on the other partners binge drinking. It’s rather unfortunate but binge drinking amongst the university aged population is quite problematic and many people will carry bad habits forward with them well into adulthood.

The study did reveal some interesting and positive information; couples who tried to reduce their consumption of alcohol together were more successful than individuals in the couple who tried to reduce their consumption alone. “In some respect this is a cautionary piece of research. Pick your friends and lovers carefully because they influence you more than you think.” –Dr. Simon Sherry, assistant professor in the Department of Psychology, Dalhousie University, Halifax, N.S.

Binge drinking is characterized by an episode of excessive drinking or the rapid consumption of alcohol in a short period of time. Binge drinking has been proven to be more damaging to the brain than even

chronic alcoholism. Binge drinking is most prominent amongst adolescents and young adults where consequently the developing parts of the brain suffer more immediate and severe brain damage. Binge drinkers most often consume hard liquor. Another interesting factoid is that binge drinking is a much more serious problem in North America than in Europe.

In North America we could learn a lot from the Europeans when it comes to our attitudes about alcohol. It may seem a little backwards, but it isn’t uncommon for adolescents and even children to offered wine with their meals at some

European tables – this early exposure to alcohol seems to mitigate a lot of the novelty of drinking that occurs with North American adolescents. Most often alcohol of any kind is consumed right alongside of food in Europe. Wine is the most common alcoholic drink in the diets of Europeans and doesn’t lend itself well to binge drinking.

On that note, for your next big weekend out with your sweetie, try passing on the

shots and slowing it down with a nice glass of vino. Here is a nice wine to give a go;

Wine of the WeekRuffino Chianti 2010 – [Italy]

The smell is rustic, simple and an appetizing mixture of earth and raisins. Flavours are mostly oak driven with very little to enjoy fruit wise. Nicely pairs with red wine reductions and sharp cheeses. 78/100 (March 22nd, 2012)

This week’s question:

Do you agree with the five conditions the

Provincial Government placed on allowing oil

pipelines in BC?

Comment at thenorthernview.com

Enbridge responds to BC conditionsBy Shaun Thomas

The Northern View

Enbridge says they welcome the feedback from the BC Government about what is needed for the project to proceed.

“We wish to reiterate our commitment to working with governments, including BC, in determining what we can do to further address concerns and to engaging in a dialogue to ensure full understanding of the assessments of risk, the many safety and environmental protection measures in the plan as well as the benefits that would come with the project,” said Todd Nogier, Manager of Corporate and Western Access

Communications.“Enbridge will also continue to reach out

and encourage conversation with British Columbians about the project through our website and blogs, community meetings and conversations. We have devoted much effort and resources into consultations with communities, First Nations, and Métis, having already held more than 2,500 public meetings, 120 open houses, 150 presentations and 65 economic development workshops to date. Through that outreach, we’ve met directly with some 17,000 people. We want to continue to encourage conversation about the project.”

As for the issue of economic benefit balancing the risks associated with

shipping the bitumen through BC waters, Enbridge said that shouldn’t be a concern.

“This project will bring real and tangible benefits to the communities and Aboriginal groups along the proposed route, and to the province of British Columbia as a whole,” said Nogier.

“The Northern Gateway Project is a Canadian imperative, enabling our country to unlock its energy trade dependence upon a single market in order to gain access to the fastest growing demand economies in

the world. This is a key economic pillar that will serve all Canadians for generations to come.”

What young adults should know about relationships and drinking

Both COSCO and Hanjin Lines provide a service out of Shanghai to Chicago, with an eighteen day transit time, via the port of Prince Rupert. This same transit time is offered by APL via the port of Los Angeles. Orient Overseas Container Line (OOCL) actually bests COSCO and Hanjin transit time by one day (17 vs. 18 days) via the port of Tacoma...The same can be said for cargo moving to Memphis. COSCO and Hanjin Lines calling Prince Rupert direct offer a transit time out of Shanghai to Chicago of 20 days (COSCO), and 18 days (Hanjin). Hanjin beats its own transit time into

Memphis by one day (17 vs. 18 days), via the port of Long Beach, and American President Line (APL) matches Hanjin’s Prince Rupert transit time of 18 days, via the port of Los Angeles,” it reads.

“Prince Rupert is not a viable port for cargo originating from, and destined for, large swaths of the United States. While Chicago and Memphis are important industrial areas, and do represent the destination for a considerable portion of U.S. imports, we spoke with importers who indicated that they have distribution centers located all over the country, and cargo destined for these locations

in places like P e n n s y l v a n i a , California, or Texas would likely never be routed through Prince Rupert. Likewise, Prince Rupert’s claims of rapid transit times only currently apply for cargo being sourced from northern and central China, Japan, and Korea.”

The report concludes that the solution may rest

with the US government making further investments in port infrastructure, citing Prince Rupert as a specific example.

“Maintaining the competitiveness of the U.S. ports requires in part, improving port infrastructure. Prince Rupert, for example, is geared toward handling intermodal rail traffic and has on dock rail facilities that allow the gang to make fewer moves with the cargo. The design of the Port of Prince Rupert allows a single gang to move the cargo from ship to train and then move the train to the switching yard. In other ports, there are separate gangs that discharge the cargo, move the cargo to rail sidings, and then to switching yards to be consolidated with other flatcars,” the report states.

“Currently, many U.S. ports, highways, and bridges are slowly decaying due to lack of investment and strategic long-term planning. Our closest competitors, Mexico and Canada, have national transportation policies that ensure that their ports, highways, and bridges, all of which play

important roles in the intermodal transportation of commerce, are sustained. Our country’s decisions regarding infrastructure investments today will directly

impact our ability to compete in a global economy for years to come.”

With all of this year’s three cruise ships come and gone, the volunteer-based Cruise Task Force is calling this year’s cruise season in Prince Rupert a success.

Whether that success will translate into attracting another cruise line to the city remains to be seen.

“During their last call, the passengers of the Silversea Shadow said we were the friendliest town out of all of their eight ports of call. That seems to be pretty consistent amongst all the cruise ships,” said John Farrell of the task force.

Ever since Norwegian Cruise Lines announced that they would be discontinuing their weekly stop in Prince Rupert two years ago, the community has been trying hard to improve the experience of passengers in Prince Rupert.

What started last year with extra buskers, guides and interpreters was taken to a whole new level this summer. When passengers disembarked from their ships this year they were greeted by a small street festival.

“It’s the small things that

seem to set us apart from other destinations; the Friendship House canoe meeting the ship at the docks, children waving flags, the daycare kids, we had mayor Mussallem and Mounties in their red uniforms meeting people as they come up the gangway. And that really makes an impression on people. These are demographics that we have, and they appreciate that personal touch,” said Farrell.

The cruise task force’s cruise-friendly business program also went over very well. The idea for the program was to ask local businesses to augment their hours to better suit the passengers as well as put up a sign in their window to advertise their cruise-friendliness.

“We got a huge uptake from businesses. I think there are two reasons for that: one is the hours coinciding with the ships arriving and leaving, and secondly, people realizing that the cruise industry has brought $4.75-million worth of revenue to the town. And that’s substantial,” said Farrell.

Almost all of the work being done to make the task force’s ideas a success was being done by volunteers, including the many people who came out to be impromptu tour guides for

cruise ship passengers with the Ambassador Program.

One of the coordinators for the Ambassador Program, Rene Van Summeren, says he wants to thank all the volunteers who came out to be Prince Rupert’s ambassadors for all their hard work.

“As far as I’m concerned, it went really well. We seem to have a basic group of people there all the time, plus a lot of the students volunteered their time to go down there when the ships came in. I think they all did a excellent job,” said Van Summeren.

There are some changes in the works for next year though. First of all, the cruise task force is being disbanded and will be replaced with a more permanent body to oversee the community’s cruise ship efforts in the future.

Farrell says the new group will focus on expanding the city’s excursion trip industry as a way to create more attractions for passengers.

One loss for next year is that the Prince Rupert Port Authority’s cruise development director, Phil Westorby, has resigned and is moving down to Vancouver. While

the Port Authority is still considering how it will replace him, Westorby is highly regarded by the volunteers he worked with in Prince Rupert’s cruise industry.

“He put everything that he had into it. He was a real head-of-the-crew kind of guy from the port,” said Van Summeren.

Prince Rupert Food for Thought was established in November of 2011.

A group of community organizations met to address the shortage of food, funding for the homeless, low income families and seniors. Due to budget cuts by the Federal Government via Services Canada that Prince Rupert receives to address Aboriginal and Homelessness and Poverty allocated funds in 2011 - $187,000 - were cut to $115,000 for 2012- a shortfall of over $72,000 that had to quickly be addressed by the group.

The group decided to establish a similar and very successful food program offered in the community of Terrace called the Terrace FoodShare Program established in 1997, which picks up donated perishable foods and delivers it to those in need in the Terrace area. The Terrace Foodshare Program is based on the Gloucester Emergency Food Cupboard (GEFC) that was established in 1989 in the Ottawa area and currently serves over 1,600 people per month.

The goal of Prince Rupert Food for

Thought is to be committed to the safe handling of donated perishable food from local grocery stores to help families in need in our area. Several local agencies via way of soup kitchens and food hampers will also benefit from the food program including; The Salvation Army, Transition House, Friendship House, Kaien Antipoverty Society (KAPS), Community Enrichment Society, and Senior Center. Colleen Hermenson, Manager of KAPS and the Food Program Coordinator for Prince Rupert Food for Thought and Simona Ionita Vice-Chair of KAPS and the Food Program Coordinator would like to thank all the volunteers that are dedicating their time to help with the Prince Rupert Food for Thought program and to BC Housing, Overwaitea and Ridley Terminals for their support.

Through this new program, Prince Rupert Food for Thought, volunteers and sponsors

are feeding the hungry, fighting the front lines of hunger, saving landfill space, helping the environment and our community. Prince Rupert Food for Thought is about caring and reaching out to our neighbours in need.

With the adoption of Bill 10: Food Donor Encouragement Act (1997) by the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia, is it far easier for donors/participates to donate food as Bill 10 limits the liability of those that donate the surplus or donated food.

Agreements and guidelines are also put in place by Prince Rupert Food for Thought by the way of a Food Share Agreement that is signed by those that enter the “Donor” program.

Currently, Dan Hansen, Manager of Overwaitea Prince Rupert, and his hardworking team are donating the much needed perishable food to the program which helps many families in need in the community.

Chance to Dance summer intensive workshop takes place◆ SPECTRUM CITY DANCE

Muskeg Swing Band holding concert

By Martina Perry The Northern View

They made their live performance debut just over a month ago, and now the newly formed Muskeg Swing Band will be holding a concert and dance at the Moose Hall in Prince Rupert on Thursday, August 2, to help raise funds for the Performing Arts Studio building project at Charles Hays Secondary School.

The Muskeg Swing Band is a 16-piece ensemble consisting of some of Prince Rupert’s most talented musicians, with an irresistible big-band sound.

Muskeg Swing Band member Peter Witherly says the group has “an expanded repertoire of sound, from the smooth swinging sounds of Count Basie and Duke Ellington to the pulsating Samba rhythms of Victor Lopez, and blended with a little “Rock Around the Clock” that is sure to get anyone attending the concert up on their feet.

The Muskeg Swing Band Concert and Dance will be the opening fundraising event by the Prince Rupert and Region Music Society to benefit the Performing Arts Studio building project at Charles Hays Secondary School. The society is in a partnership with School District 52, the Port of Prince Rupert and Ridley Terminals Inc. to work together to construct an urgently needed music rehearsal facility at the community’s high school for students, and community groups such as the Prince Rupert Community Band and Rotary Community Choir to use.

Currently, students and community music groups all use the band room located at Prince Rupert Middle School.

Tickets for the Muskeg Swing Band Concert and Dance can be purchased at Teddy’s and Seahorse Trading Co.

The 23rd annual Chance to Dance summer intensive dance workshop took place at the Spectrum City Dance Studio starting last Tuesday and wrapped up on Sunday.

Over 50 experienced dancers from all disciplines participated in three different age categories; with dancers being as young as eight and as mature as 20.

Classes ran all throughout the day, and were instructed by three out of town teachers including Vancouver-based Jennifer White, who was teaching ballet, Texas-based Tasha Lawson who was teaching tap and contemporary dance, and Prince Rupert raised Giselle Liu who now lives in Hong Kong, who was teaching jazz.

Although it was mainly dancers from Prince Rupert that participated, there were also dancers from Terrace, Prince Goerge, Vancouver and even as far away as Saskatoon.

A final agreement has been reached between Rio Tinto Alcan and its unionized workers for a new five-year contract.

The new deal was sealed today after Canadian Autoworkers Union (CAW) Local 2301 members voted 94 per cent in favour of it.

This vote came on the heels of a 29-hour negotiation marathon between Rio Tinto Alcan and CAW Local 2301 representatives.

Negotiations started at 7 a.m. July 23 and were set to finish at

midnight but went twelve hours into overtime, passing the expiry date on the former workers contract as well as the deadline of a 72 hour strike notice served by the union.

But as a tentative deal was reached between the parties at noon July 24, no strike took place and business at Rio Tinto Alcan has continued as usual.

No changes were made before

the tentative agreement was finalized.

“We are pleased that the employees voted in favour of the tentative agreement,” said Rio Tinto Alcan’s CEO Etienne Jacques in a press release distributed after the ratification.

There were nearly 150 changes made to this contract

compared to the last one, said CAW Local 2301 interim business agent Cliff Madsen who sat round

the negotiations table last week.Madsen said that while

negotiations went well, the union didn’t get everything from the contract it was seeking.

“We had some ... very complex issues and we were able to find a way to come to an agreement,” he said.

“Not everybody got what they wanted on both sides.”

In a union release today, it was noted that a $2500 signing bonus which came as part of the new contract can be contributed to the CAW RRSP plan.

Details of the agreement include:

• Wages: Year 1 – 3 per cent, Year 2 –

2.5 per cent, Year 3 – 2.5 per cent, Year 4 – 2.5 per cent, Year 5 – 3 per cent

• Job security letter (no lay-offs) re-signed

• All temporary workers hired to full-time

• Five terminated temporary welders hired to full-time

• $2500.00 Signing bonus for regulars, temporaries and LTD members

• Agreement on classifications for workers in the KMP

• Pension multiplier increases• Retiree benefits increases• Active employee benefit

A Northwest native leader is already forecasting a dramatic shift in the political landscape arising from next spring’s provincial election.

Gitxsan land claims negotiator Elmer Derrick believes BC Conservative party leader John Cummins is going to be the next leader of the opposition.

That prediction, which then means the NDP will form the government and the provincial Liberals will be reduced to a handful of seats, has Derrick worried about how aboriginal people will fit into economic development.

Derrick’s worry is that Cummins will build on a reputation he developed as a Reform and then Conservative MP of fierce resistance to the idea of aboriginal title and rights.

“He wants to pick a fight with us when there really is no need to,” said Derrick.

“I think it’s time that we really have to move ahead as a country which is to follow the advice of the courts so that we can all make progress,” he added.

Derrick said the path forward is for governments to acknowledge that aboriginal people do have rights, including rights to resources, and to then create certainty for development around those rights.

Having Cummins promote an agenda of opposition to aboriginal rights would only fog the issue, he said.

“I don’t see any real

need for a political battle over title,” said Derrick.“If he’s trying to get in by fighting Indians,

it’s not going to get him anywhere,” he said of Cummins.

“What we really have to do is move to the next level and that’s creating certainty for us and for the Crown,” Derrick continued.

Once that’s accomplished, secure development deals with corporations can then follow.

“Development proponents will then realize there’s stability,” said Derrick.

“Money needs a safe place to go.”In the northwest, Derrick said corporations such

as Northern Gateway Pipelines proponent Enbridge and Seabridge, which has a promising gold property north of Terrace, are setting examples by developing close connections with Aboriginal people.

The 14th annual Udderfest will be taking place next week at two local venues; The Tom Rooney Playhouse and The Lester Centre of the Arts.

There will be eight different productions happening this year, with performers from Prince Rupert, Kitimat, Prince George, Vancouver performing.

STAB IN THE DARKDirected by David Smook

A murder at the police station in Prince Rupert brings together two detectives, Eugene (David Smook) and Many (Chris Armstrong), who hate each other, blaming one another for the disappearance of their co-lover Felicia. Everyone’s a suspect... and weirdly all have “Phil” in their name.

JUVENILE EYESWritten and Directed by Stephen Huddlestone

Will (Chystopher Thompson) is an unemployed twenty-six year old lacking self-confidence but finds serenity in the presence of his teenage girlfriend, Susan (Tristen Wybou). Susan’s parents

(Andy Enns and Martina Perry) have been long quarrelling over the relationship though still have yet to meet the man coveting their daughter. Can Will and Susan remain lovers even if her overbearing parents create an insurmountable strain on their future?

ZENBRIDGEWritten and directed by Rudy

KellyA Zenbridge oil tanker is found

dangerously close to shore in a small coastal community . . . what has happened to the crew? Shortly thereafter, a strange epidemic sweeps through the town, turning many of its citizens into zombies! The media provides coverage of the various ways the plague is affecting the community and how it is dealing with it, while Doctor Kent and Nurse Gary race against time to find a cure!

TOAST ‘N JAMDirected by all cast members

Toast ‘N Jam is On Cue Players of Kitimat’s first entry into the Udderfest.

Betty (Leisl Kaberry), has decided that today is going to be the day! She will let Bill (Lyle

McNish) know of her intentions for him over a carefully prepared breakfast. Betty knows that Jolie (Lesley MacAllister) has had too late and intoxicating of an evening to interrupt this special event. Of course, Jolie gets up early, a little thirsty, a bit agitated and very curious about the breakfast setting for two. Bill is just... well he is just Bill. He is a tad bit consumed by himself and a fair bit daft.

I’D LIKE TO BUY A VOWEL

Written by Rob Shearer, directed by Cliff Doupe, Lyle McNish and Graeme McNish.Ian (Jasper Nolos) and his

younger sister, Sadie (Chelsea Jesser) run a coffee shop called the Morning Cup. Sadie is in charge and makes sure Ian knows it. Ian’s frustration translates into some very poor customer service, especially towards Dot (Jenna Cann), a quiet, unassuming customer, like a fly on the wall, except Ian would probably treat a fly with more respect. This is also where friends, Hayley (Paula Loroff) and Tiana (Angelica Jesser) go to chat, although mainly about Hayleys obsession with gaining revenge on

the girls who have been making her life miserable. Tiana offers great advice but Hayley is much too consumed by her need to exact revenge.

RUPERT TONIGHTStarring Kat Campbell, Andy

Enns, Rob Shearer, Kris Scott and special guest, Lyle McNish.

The variety show returns for its fourth incarnation, sketch comedy, music, improv and stand up. No two shows are the same!

WARNING: Adult themes and humour.
