RESCUE AT SEA
Who killed Justin, Kayla,
Emmalee?BY MARTINA PERRY PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View
A candlelight ceremony two months after the discovery of 21-year-old Justin Brooks’ body in the Prince Rupert Harbour was a bittersweet gathering for his family, who, while mourning the loss, have found support from groups also seeking justice.
The Union of BC Indian Chiefs (UBCIC), the BC Civil Lib-erties Association (BCCLA) and the Vancouver Aboriginal Transformative Justice Services So-ciety (VATJSS) have teamed up to address what they consider to be a lack of due diligence by Roy-al Canadian Mounted Police when investigating deaths of Aboriginal people in the north.
MPs square off over Ridley TerminalsCullen, Menzies trade shots over sale to private ownership
BY SHAUN THOMAS PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View
Skeena – Bulkley Valley MP Nathan Cullen and Minister of State for Finance Ted Menzies are waging a war of words after federal legislation was introduced over the proposed sale of Ridley Terminals
“The criteria in the act is too vague. It talks about open access, but not equal access. It also does not guarantee we will get a good price for the terminal or that it will be sold to a Canadian company, and based on the Nexen incident I don’t have a
lot of confidence this government is looking out for the best interest of Canadians,” Cullen said.
In an exclusive letter to The Northern View featured on Page A5, Menzies said Cullen is being intentionally obtuse.
“Our government has been clear that we will only proceed with a sale of Ridley Terminals if it maximizes value for Canadian taxpayers. We have also been clear that ensuring open access for multiple users at Ridley is a non-negotiable
component to the sale,” Menzies said.
“Mr. Cullen also questioned the value of the sale. As he knows, for years Ridley Terminals declared losses and required millions in government support. This has changed. Under our government, Ridley’s grown to be a terminal of considerable value. Moving forward, Ridley has tremendous growth potential and that potential can best be realized by private ownership.”
“Ridley has tremendous growth potential and that potential can best be realized by private ownership.”

“There are too many loopholes in what they have announced... On all levels, there is more cause for concern than hope with this,” Cullen said.
Menzies and Minister of State for Transport Steven Fletcher announced the government’s intention to sell the terminal on Dec. 13, 2012. Although nearly six months have passed since the announcement, Cullen said he still doesn’t understand why.
“The government has not answered the first question, and that is the need to sell it at all.” he said.
“Canadians have put millions of dollars into the terminal and it is now beginning to make money for taxpayers, so why sell it now? If it is just because the government continues to run deficits and wants to fill some of those holes then that is worrisome,” he said.
“These things are not clear in the document.”
The Canada Development Investment Corporation, the group responsible for the sale, said it would not provide comment as the sale process is not yet finalized.

City council wants to hear how they should be spending your money.
The City is hosting a public forum at 7 p.m. tonight in the Dick St. Louis Auditorium focussed on the 2013 budget, which needs to be passed by May 14, seeking input on how to balance the books following the passing of a three per cent operations cut that will save $462,000.
“There is going to be a lot of budget information posted on the walls and people will be encouraged to come in and walk around. There will also be a handout provided with a report to be presented to council at a meeting the following night,” said corporate administrator Robert Grodecki.
“After people have had a chance to look at all the information, Mayor and council will be in attendance and will be taking questions and comments from the public during the second part of the session.”
Among the options being discussed are to use the money to negate a tax increase, use the money to cut down on the amount drawn from the City’s $1.6 million surplus and to use the money
for needed infrastructure. However, Grodecki said nothing is set in stone.
“There may be an option or two that people haven’t seen before as council will be asking staff to come up with a number of options,” he said.
While the meeting is scheduled to start at 7 p.m., there is no time frame for when the proceedings will come to a close.
“A lot of this will be based on attendance... When it gets to the question and answer period it will be at the discretion of council how long that carries on for,” he said.
“I don’t imagine anyone will want to shut down the discussion if a lot of people have questions or comments for council.”
After receiving feedback, council will meet the next night to discuss the budget and possibly give first three readings to it. If council is not prepared to vote quite yet, a second meeting has been scheduled for May 10.
“Whether that is needed or not will depend on the direction council gives staff on May 9,” said Grodecki.
The City will pass its budget at a regular meeting on May 13.

CityWest’s refusal to pay a $500,000 dividend may not have been first on the council’s agenda, but for the gallery at the April 29 budget meeting, it was topic No. 1.
As the City of Prince Rupert is the lone shareholder in the CityWest, the lack of payment has outraged some.
“I think it is time to re-evaluate CityWest in terms of the City,” Larry Golden told council. “They use to put financial statements up for people to see. When I went to ask for them I was told [it] would not be available. We, as citizens, should be able to see that.”
Barbara Kuhl, also said she had issue with how CityWest is being run.
“I think CityWest is being anything but transparent... I don’t think the financials were [in the presentation] to explain why they wouldn’t be giving the City the $500,000 dividend,” she said.
But CityWest chief financial officer Chris Marett said the company does make information available as needed and welcomes questions from the public.
“CityWest’s net income, as well as any debt payments or dividends, are reported in the City’s financial statements. Additionally, residents are welcome to come by our offices and discuss the financials with our CFO... The City appoints directors as its representatives to the company and the directors receive detailed monthly financial information. The City also receives audited financial statements and council receives at least one presentation per year on the financial statements,” he said, noting the information is no longer posted because CityWest operates in a competitive market.
“During negotiations with competitors and major customers, it was determined that as these parties knew our financial details, it put us at a competitive disadvantage.”
CityWest on hot seat
Shaun Thomas / The Northern ViewPaving season got underway in Prince Rupert on April 30 as crews worked to repair the entrance to businesses in the Cow Bay area that had been dug up last fall to address water line issues. As part of budget deliberations, the City of Prince Rupert is throwing out the idea of cutting the paving budget by as much as $175,000.
‘TIS THE SEASON
By marTina Perry PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View
Prince Rupert’s school board of trustees did a little fence mending with staff after voting down a budget proposed by administration earlier in the month.
“Some of the comments made during that debate may have given an incorrect impression of the board’s confidence in the senior management of the district,” said Tina Last in a prepared statement.
“Therefore, at this time, on behalf of the entire board, I would like to make a statement recognizing the senior staff of the district, and the board’s
confidence in them and their work. The senior staff of the district enjoys the confidence, trust and support of the board and the board is satisfied, through its own supervisory processes, that senior staff are faithfully carrying out their collective and individual legislative, contractual and ethical obligations.”
As for the budget itself, which needs to be passed this month, the board voted to bring back the same budget it defeated earlier and open it up to amendments at the May 13 meeting. Before that meeting, though, staff will be getting direction from trustees at a Building and Finance Committee meeting.
Board confident in staff despite budget
Cites competition for financial secrecy
News
I’m concerned that many British Columbians are more focused on “change” for the sake of change rather than electing the party most
likely to foster job creation and financial stability. Our province’s resource endowment has always
been a mainstay of both jobs and the generation of revenues needed to fund social programs. From what I have seen and heard, an NDP government would rev-up spending while stymieing resource
development through endless environmental reviews and or by just saying “no”, driving investment to other provinces and other countries. We need new mines and gas fields, pipelines, refineries, ports and processing plants to replace jobs lost by tech change and by events like the pine beetle catastrophe
Economic development and the
protection of the environment are not mutually exclusive. Yes, we must be good stewards of our beautiful province, but we do have the technology to move the economy forward in an environmentally responsible manner. Saying no to new projects will mean job losses for currently employed and no opportunity for young people looking to join the work force.
We also need to focus on balancing the provincial budget, rather than taking money away from social programs to fund rising interest costs. Forty years of experience in business has taught me that too much debt is crippling. It scares me that the NDP have rolled out billions of dollars in new spending during this campaign, and their “every dollar is accounted for” rhetoric just isn’t credible because their anti-development attitude will reduce revenue at the same time as spending rises.
There is truth to the adage, “Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it”. The NDP came to power in 1991 and governed the rest of that decade. Investment dried up and economic growth trailed the rest of Canada. A low point came when the Edmonton Chamber of Commerce thanked the BC government for driving growth investment in Alberta.

Change for the sake of change?
Leaving council chambers at about 9:30 p.m. on April 29, following a lengthy discussion about the budget and how to proceed, I
was surprised to say the least. When it came time to pass the budget,
seemingly out of nowhere Anna Ashley brought up what the long-term implications were of passing a budget that was balanced largely on the back of one-time funding. She, quite correctly, pointed out that the tax roll isn’t likely to grow significantly in the next year and the result would be starting the next budget with a roughly $850,000 shortfall.
In last week’s column, I spoke about the City putting the burden on others for their lack of financial foresight — namely the Prince Rupert Port Authority — and about how council needed to start making the tough decisions they were elected to make. After attending the meeting, I was wondering if this was the same council that has been running the City for the last several years.
That is financial foresight - you can’t budget the operations of the City or your own household based on one-time funding you won’t see next year. I’m not a financial wizard by any means, but that can only lead to trouble.
The whole time Anna was talking, you could see Nelson Kinney nodding his head. Gina Garon, again quite correctly,
pointed out that you don’t budget on “what ifs”. If you assume the worst and the best-case scenario happens, you’re set, but if you assume the best and the worst-case scenario happens you’ll wake up in a situation nobody wants to be in.
With three councillors clearly in favour of making the tough decisions needed to help secure the financial future of the City, and Councillor Joy Thorkelson clearly opposed, the result was always in question. Admittedly, after pushing council to cut funding to community groups and cut tax exemptions, it was shocking to hear Mayor Jack Mussallem cast the deciding affirmative vote.
Financial foresight had come to council. Hopefully it is here to stay.
Now it is up to us, the residents of Prince Rupert, to tell the City what we would like to see done with the $462,000 in available money. Do we want it entirely used to keep a healthy surplus? Do we want it to go toward negating a tax increase? Do we want it used for infrastructure? Or is there something else that is a priority?
Much like council gives staff direction, we must give council direction. Tonight at 7 p.m. the ball is in our court — Don’t waste this opportunity.

Letters to the editor Anchorage locations have deep significanceThe Port of Prince
Rupert recently launched an anchor-
age trial that created the po-tential for 30 unique anchorage positions to safely accommodate the increased number of large commercial vessels calling on its terminals.
Looking at the inner harbour, the location of ships may not appear to conform to a particular pattern. Yet in fact a great deal of research and planning goes into determining the most suitable location for individual ships arriving at the port. Scheduling their movements is based on a number of different factors.
The Prince Rupert Port Authority receives a pre-arrival notice 96 hours before a ship is expected to enter the outer harbour. It details specifics of the vessel such as its size, cargo and which terminal it is destined for. Using this information, the Harbour Master’s office determines which anchorages are most appropriate for the ship.
Five of the six inside anchorages (those visible from the Prince Rupert waterfront) are reserved for ships between 225 and 250 metres. These are primarily bulk carriers destined for Prince Rupert Grain—like the Agatis, Mendocino or Ten Yoshi Maru that are anchored there today. It also includes log ships like the Global Peace closest to Tuck Inlet. This is done because grain ships require a Canada Food Inspection Agency inspection prior to loading, and conducting these inspections within the inner harbour meets the stringent guidelines of CFAI operations. Once inspected, those ships can be moved to an outside anchorage where they will remain while waiting for cargo or weather, and newer arrivals can take the inner anchorage position. Just like the inbound and outbound transit of vessels, each movement within the harbour is coordinated through the Pacific Pilotage Authority, which dispatches BC Coast Pilots to board and navigate during the change in position.
The outer harbour has an additional 20 anchorages situated around Stephens, Prescott, Lucy and Kinahan Islands. Since ships destined to load coal at Ridley Terminals aren’t subject to the stringent boarding procedures of inspections done by CFIA, they are better-suited to these anchorage positions.
However, bulk carriers carrying coal are still subject to a survey of their vessels, and the anchorages off Prescott and Stephens Islands provide shelter from southeasterly winds, allowing for the safe boarding of surveyors.
Ships displaced from the inner harbour, or those that have only loaded part of their cargo at Prince Rupert Grain, will be moved to one of the six anchorages around Lucy Island. The single anchorage off the Kinahan Islands is usually reserved for post-cargo fumigation.
The two positions off Smith Island are used for Asian Gypsy Moth inspections done by the CFIA. These two anchorages are also ideal locations for cape-sized vessels (over 150,000 dead weight tonnes), since their proximity to Ridley Terminals means more efficient transit and turnaround times.
With anchorage positions as deep as 50 metres, the Port of Prince Rupert has an abundance of locations that can safely accommodate ships from 150 to 350 metres in length. To compensate for wind and currents, each anchorage has a safety swing circle that is calculated based on the size of ship, amount of chain in the water and a safety perimeter.

MP missing the pointEditor: My colleague Nathan Cullen was recently
quoted in these pages questioning the intended sale of Ridley Terminals. I would like to respond directly to his comments.
First, our government has been clear that we will only proceed with a sale of Ridley Terminals if it maximizes value for Canadian taxpayers. We have also been clear that ensuring open access for multiple users at Ridley is a non-negotiable component to the sale. The legislation that was outlined this week is broad by design. It provides the flexibility to move forward with Ridley’s sale if an appropriate buyer comes forward, but does not lock the government into a divestiture.
Mr. Cullen also questioned the value of the sale. As he knows, for years Ridley Terminals declared losses and required millions in government support. This has changed. Under our government, Ridley’s grown to be a terminal of considerable value. Moving forward, Ridley has tremendous growth potential and that potential can best be realized by private ownership.
Private ownership of Ridley Terminals could allow the terminal to maximize its contribution to economic growth, jobs and new investments for Prince Rupert and surrounding communities.
Ted Menzies, Minister of State (Finance)
Glenn Clark’s 1996-1999 tenure was arguably the most disastrous for BC and with Adrian Dix, Premier Clark’s former Chief of staff leading the province, I’d be very worried about history repeating itself.
It took many years for the Liberals to repair the damage. During their time in government, North America suffered through a major recession and yet we now have a triple-A credit rating, higher than the US government, allowing BC taxpayers the lowest possible interest rates
Have the Liberals done everything right? Certainly not. The introduction of the HST by the
Campbell government was badly handled. There have been other gaffes and ill thought out policies. And while there is a natural inclination for people to vote to change long governing parties, it’s important not to let the NDP sleepwalk to victory without thinking about which party is likely to create jobs and not burden today’s young people with a mountain of debt.
I’m not asking that you agree with me, only that you think through the full consequences of your choice carefully. And then get out and vote on May 14.

Editor: Re: Proposed funding cuts to libraryI have used the library on a weekly basis
since moving to Prince Rupert in 1987. Both my children started with story hour when they were 2 and this month my daughter graduates from university. She comes home for the summer to work and told me she could not wait to get home to our library as the one in Nanaimo where she attended school was a real disappointment after growing up with the one here in town.
In a time when education cut backs have eliminated full time designated library teachers in schools and we are all sounding the alarm about literacy rates being undermined by video/computer games and too many hours spent in front of TVs, we need to maintain funding for our
public library. This will allow us to continue to offer the
programs and resources that help our community address literacy issues and encourage reading competency and enjoyment.
In addition the library provides a safe and peaceful place for residents and visitors of all ages to visit.
I feel that our library does an exemplary job of recognizing that libraries are not just books today, but an access to modern technology and a diverse selection of materials and public events.
Please consider that the long term gain from appropriate funding for our library will result in a community that is more literate, more employable and more interested in the world around them.

“The RCMP were very indifferent and negligent in their investigations into the passings of these three young peo-ple,” Stewart Phillip, Grand Chief of the UBCIC said in an interview with The Northern View.
“Organizations like the Royal Canadian Mounted Police are only interested in protecting their own, and they certain-ly are not attempting to bring justice to the native people in the north,” he later said.
RCMP ruled out foul play as a factor in Justin’s death, despite being allegedly assaulted by people prior to his death according to family.
“We will never get to hold him, hug him, or see his big beautiful smile again, or tell him just how much we loved him,” Justin’s mother Cheryl Ryan said during her speech at the candlelight ceremony.
“Justin touched the hearts of so many people. We will continue to stand together as one until we get the answers we need and deserve,” she said.
The UBCIC, the BCCLA and the VATJSS held meet-ings in Vancouver before deciding to come to Prince Rupert to gather information on three cases within the last decade where the bodies of First Nation youth were discovered in and around the ocean.
The partners will be developing a report on the issue, with Phillip saying they’re committed to engaging the issue and working with the families.
“The authorities should know we are committed to this issue and the families... and intend to do whatever it takes to shed some light on these shoddy investigations, and the cli-mate of negligence that surrounds these cases,” Phillip said.
Phillip said meetings the groups had with family mem-bers and elders while in Prince Rupert were emotional.
“There’s a tremendous amount of frustration and pain and hurt here in this region with respect to being constantly victimized by the very system that we rely on to deliver jus-tice to our families,” he said.
Micheal Vonn, policy director of the BCCLA, said the association has heard from First Nations communities across the north that police treat them poorly in comparison to non-First Nations communities.
“There is clearly a problem in B.C. when First Nations families and communities are unable to place their faith in law enforcement either to protect them, or to properly in-vestigate crimes committed against them,” Vonn said in a statement.
Victor Steinhammer from the Prince Rupert RCMP de-tachment said RCMP, “continued to be committed to meet-ing and working with our communities and stakeholders to answer any questions they may have about policing opera-tions”.
Justin Brooks’ aunt, Sheri Latimer, said her family is honoured and grateful the groups are helping to get their
voices, and Justin’s voice, heard. Latimer said it was heartwarming to see hundreds of
people come out to support finding justice for Justin, but also the families of Emmalee McLean and Kayla Rose McKay, two more Aboriginal youth who died under mys-terious circumstances.
Relations of Emmalee Rose McLean attended the can-dlelight ceremony, and are happy to see unresolved deaths of aboriginals being addressed.
Therese White is Emily’s aunt, who the 16-year-old lived with for the last year of her life.
“I was really fortunate to have her for that one year,” White said.
White’s daughter Naomi also lived with Emmalee that year and said she thought of her as a sister, not a cousin.
The pair both described Emily as a cheerful, happy and outgoing young woman. Naomi said she was crushed when she discovered her cousin was found deceased and partially submerged in the harbour off of Cow Bay.
White claims RCMP told Emmalee’s family she drowned, and that they had spoken to persons of interest during their investigation. A coroner’s report showed there was alcohol in her system.
“There was still a lot of unanswered questions, but as far as they were concerned she just didn’t get out of the water.
But how did she get into the water?” Therese White said. Kayla Rose McKay’s relatives are also mourning the loss
of the youth without fully understanding why. Kayla, 13, was the youngest to be found deceased near
the Prince Rupert harbour, in 2004. Kayla would’ve been 14 the following month.
“It’s been nine years since we lost Kayla Rose... There’s been a lot of sleepless nights wondering who caused the death,” Gary Brown, Kayla’s grandfather and guardian since she was a baby, said during the ceremony.
Brown told people in attendance that Kayla’s death was blamed on alcohol, but he wasn’t satisfied with the report written on her death.
“Her clothes weren’t even on, her clothes weren’t even on right. Something happened... It wasn’t just alcohol poison-ing,” he said.
“She had dreams. She wanted to get married and grad-uate at [Northwest Community College]. Those dreams didn’t happen,” he later said.
Justin’s family is concerned that RCMP returned Jus-tin’s clothing and belongings he had on him the night of his death a week after his body was discovered, despite telling them the investigation was ongoing.
The family is also upset they weren’t allowed to see Jus-tin’s body to confirm it was indeed him who was pulled out of the harbour.
“We went a whole week without knowing. It wasn’t until the day we viewed him at the funeral home the family finally knew it was their son. We went through with the planning of the memorial service, picked out the coffin... without even knowing if it was his body or not,” Latimer said.

The family alleges RCMP said Justin may have been on the rocks at the Rotary Waterfront Park and slipped into the ocean, something the family denies saying Justin wouldn’t have went near the ocean because he couldn’t swim.
“There are so many times where the police jump to the conclusion that it was alcohol poi-soning, suicide, or a slip and fall,” Christine Smith from VATJSS said during the ceremony.
Prince Rupert RCMP met with Justin’s fami-ly following the ceremony, with Latimer claiming they hadn’t spoken with the family since early April.
Regardless, Justin’s family will continue to look for answers elsewhere.
The family has been fundraising to offer a cash reward, and possibly hire a private investigator by selling tickets for a 50/50 draw and selling Justice for Justin T-shirts and hoodies.
Contributing to that fund is more than $450
that was raised at the ceremony through a blan-ket dance. The first step the family will take with funds is offering it as a cash reward for anyone with critical information on what happened to Justin on March 4. The family wants justice for not only themselves, but also Justin’s nine-month-old baby.
“Justin will never be able to hold his precious son Lucas again. Your daddy didn’t mean to leave you baby boy. He was taken from us, and not by choice,” Justin’s mother said.

Arendt, Fraser take shots at Rice
BY MARTINA PERRY PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View
The North Coast’s three hopeful MLAs battled it out at an all-candidates forum last week, discussing topics such as LNG, the environment and economic priorities.
North Coast New Democratic Party candidate Jennifer Rice, B.C. Liberal candidate Judy Fraser and Green Party candidate Hondo Arendt told a large crowd why they deserve a vote to represent the North Coast in Victoria.
In his opening statement, Green Party’s Arendt outlined why it’s time for the province to inject change into the system.
“I don’t see a huge difference between the two major parties... I see a very strong similarity between any large and entrenched party. They tend to waffle, they tend to adopt any policy that is likely to get them elected, and they tend to push you along to be basically a good solider in the battle so they can very quickly change from being a party that’s concerned with climate change, to one that’s willing to ax that tax, depending on what the political advisers tell you to do,” he said.
Fraser, the Liberal candidate, opened up calling herself a “true North Coast booster”, and said the North Coast needs to take up the new hope in the community in the form of new industry.
“I believe this is a pivotal election that could shape the future of our riding. I was raised on fishing and forestry... Unfortunately these industries no longer drive the economy and life on the North Coast. While they are still important, new industry, new infrastructure and new investment are the future for our families and communities,” she said.
NDP candidate Jennifer Rice began by saying the riding is seeing a growing divide in equality, and her party will invest in forestry, protecting the ocean and making education and skills training the No. 1 priority.
“British Columbia has incredible advantages like our natural environment, our extraordinary diversity, and our strategic access to key markets. The North Coast constituency embodies these advantages,” she said.
The preliminary questions revolved around economic priorities of each party, pressing issues needing to be addressed and how candidates will allow small businesses to thrive.
Fraser said her economic priority is to fight for continued port development, and have at least one LNG project go through on the North Coast. She said by doing this, the population will increase and there will be new opportunities for small businesses.
Rice said the NDP will
take action to address economic priorities by focussing on skills training, resource industries, building the LNG industry in a “responsible, sustainable manner” and helping small, medium and local businesses by implementing a stable and fair tax system.
Arendt said priorities facing the economy are caused by the structure, which heavily relies on resource extraction, stating more needs to be done to maximum the benefits the region already has.
The hot topic of the evening was potential LNG projects on the North Coast.
Fraser said it’s imperative that the region act quickly on LNG as the North Coast isn’t the only area interested in the market.
“It is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If we put moratoriums and don’t act quickly it’s an opportunity that’s going to pass this generation by,” she said.
Rice said the NDP wouldn’t abandon traditional industries, such as, fishing, mining and forestry, which she said is unlike the Liberal’s method of putting “all their eggs in the LNG basket”.
“When I first moved to Prince Rupert everybody was waiting for the mill to reopen... When that faded people thought the cruise ship industry was going to come and save us. This notion the LNG industry is going to save us from all our economic woes is really unfair to the citizens of the North Coast,” Rice said.
Arendt said both Liberals and NDP are supportive of LNG, but the Green Party is not “wildly enthusiastic” about all the aspects of LNG on the North Coast, and people shouldn’t be scared into the belief that “it’s now or never”.
The topic of LNG development went hand-in-hand with another area discussed by candidates, protecting the Skeena Estuary from over-development.
Rice said the region would have to work closely with the federal government and the Port of Prince Rupert on the issue, and the NDP would be willing to look at the province’s environmental assessments to make it a “more robust system”.
Arendt said the NDP’s plan to “enhance environmental assessments by streamlining and speeding up assessments” doesn’t make sense, as the two cannot be done together. Arendt also said the region seems to be embracing new developments in a paranoid fashion that “we better do it or else”.
“It’s not that I’m against development, I’m certainly pro-economy and pro-jobs... but we certainly run the risk of overdeveloping the Skeena Estuary through the whole range of projects that are coming up,” he said.
Fraser said if elected she would speak against over-development, and for responsible development.
Another area discussed was the carbon tax, with all candidates being in favour of the tax.
In closing statements, Fraser said her sons had to leave the region to find jobs, and she would like to see young people stay in the region because of opportunities in the area. Rice spoke about the NDP’s platform, and won’t add to the province’s deficit. Arendt took his time for closing statements to address Rice “before she’s elected MLA”.
The Green Party candidate said while he believes himself and Rice have similar views, he listed a number of areas he believes the NDP have flip-flopped.

No antennas
near homes
BY MARTINA PERRY PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View
A small group of Rupertites suggested regulations for telecommunication towers and antennas within Prince Rupert last week, part of a process spearheaded by Prince Rupert’s city planner to avoid future controversy.
There were under 10 people in attendance at the open house at Northwest Community College who unanimously expressed antenna systems should be discouraged in residential areas. Those at the open house also said they
would like antennas to be discouraged along the waterfront as well, however City staff informed them they did not have jurisdiction to impose antenna regulations on port land.
City planner Zeno Krekic said there has been one antenna per year erected in the last six years, with little issues, but that is unlikely to remain the same moving forward.
“As we now expect immediate and large amounts of data transmitted from our desk tops, lap tops, tablets and telephones there are more antennas closer and in residential and commercial neighbourhoods,” Krekic said.

One Practical Step at a Time
BY SHAUN THOMASPRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View
Every year residents of all ages take to the track to raise money for the Canadian Cancer Society’s Relay for Life.
There is, however, one critical component of the community that can’t walk around the track — Prince Rupert’s generous businesses, industries and community groups. Though businesses can’t actively participate in the event, that doesn’t mean they can’t support it through financial contributions to the cause.
This year, as with others, there are a number of businesses that have stepped forward financially to help in the battle against cancer.
The event sponsor for the 2013 Relay for Life is the Metlakatla Development Corporation. This year, the group has donated $5,000 toward the Relay’s goal of putting an end to cancer. But Cathy Quane, one of this year’s organizers, notes that the members of the corporation have also donated their time to make a difference on June 1.
“In Prince Rupert we are proud to have the Metlakatla Development Corporation be our title sponsor again this year. Also to note, they have registered a team of 15 people to fundraise and participate in the 12 hour event,” she said.
Ridley Terminals, whose employees volunteer and raise funds as individual members of the Ridley Coal Strollers, are donating $2,000 to the Prince Rupert Relay for Life.
“Ridley Terminals has sponsored this event for a number of years now. It’s definitely a worthwhile cause in the community and helps bring awareness to the importance of cancer prevention and screening,” said corporate affairs manager Michelle Bryant.
But it is not just industry supporting the cause as the Prince Rupert Tim Horton’s donated $500.
“Cancer touches the lives of pretty much everybody. It makes sense to back something like this because it affects so many,” said manager Devin Archibald.
Though not a business, the Ladies of the Royal Purple have been supporting the Relay for Life for a long time and have committed $500 to the event. Julie Stevens said cancer care and research is
something that is near and dear to the hearts of her and the other ladies.
“I have a lot of friends who have been diagnosed with cancer, so this really effects me. It’s about awareness to people that we need research and treatment,” she said, noting the group can directly help patients with costs associated with treatment as well.
“During the Relay we’re planning to go together to participate wearing our shirts. Usually there are only a few of us, but this year, we’re hoping to have 15 or 16.”
Perhaps the best reason the Prince Rupert’s business community gives to the Relay for Life can be summed up in the words of Judy Levelton, who was
on hand to accept the donations. “I am a cancer survivor, so I am just
lucky to be here,” she said.Quane said having business
support is indicative of the important work the Canadian Cancer Society does for those stricken with the disease.
“Having the business community support the Relay For Life demonstrates to the community how important the Canadian Cancer Society’s efforts are in fighting back against cancer, through research and preventative programs, support for those living with cancer through information services, financial assistance, sending a child to Camp Goodtimes and subsidizing
accommodation at the Cancer Lodges in Vancouver, Victoria, Kelowna and our brand new one, the Kordyban Lodge in Prince George,” she said.
“Cancer touches everyone, no matter what you do for a living.”
Other businesses that have stepped forward to pledge their support for the Relay for Life include gold sponsor Alan K. Hooper, the District of Port Edward, Hawkair, Prince Rupert Grain, Via Rail and media sponsors The Northern View, Astral Media and CFNR.
Much like the runners, donations from Prince Rupert businesses are added to the total raised for the Canadian Cancer Society. Through the support of businesses and the hard work of those volunteering to participate in the Relay for Life, there has already been $13,440 raised in Prince Rupert as of May 6
The 2013 relay will take place at the Prince Rupert Middle School track on Saturday, June 1.

This is why we relay...
“I have a lot of friends who have been diagnosed with cancer, so this really affects me.”

Major search and rescue exercise held near Rupert
By SHAUN THOMAS PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View
Members of the U.S. and Canadian Coast Guard and Air Force were in Prince Rupert last Tuesday for a joint search and rescue activity.
The exercise includes a DHC-5 Buffalo aircraft, a Cormorant helicopter and two H60 helicopters and a C-130 Hercules from the U.S. Air Force. The role of the ship in distress was filled by HMCS Edmonton, which was anchored at Northland Terminal.
It’s the first time a search and rescue exercise of this magnitude has taken place on the North Coast in more than seven years, and U.S. Coast Guard Rear Admiral Tom Ostebo said the changes that have come to the region since then make the exercise “extremely important”.
“The exponential growth in marine traffic here in Prince Rupert and in the Dixon Entrance is a risk opportunity we have to manage between Canada and the U.S. and the ability to do that is very important,” he said, noting the organizations involved use
activities like this to compare operations technology and communication.
“The end result is that when we have a real incident, a real search and rescue, that real event goes as smoothly as possible with no loss of life and no damage to the environment... When the real thing happens we need to be on our game.”
Those sentiments were echoed by Rear Admiral Bill Truelove of the Joint Task Force Pacific and Maritime Forces Pacific.
“From my perspective it is incredibly important that we train together, that we understand each other, because it is exercises like this that allow us to gain a deeper understanding of the capabilities of the participants, but also builds the relationships between the brave men and women who respond and often put their own lives on the line to save mariner’s in distress,” he said.
Joining the regular forces were members of the volunteer Royal Canadian Marine Search and Rescue – Station 64 base in Prince Rupert.

Two years ago the seeds of sustainability were planted, and the growing season is now.
Transition Prince Rupert is working toward creating an independently sustainable Prince Rupert capable of providing for itself in both good and bad economic times. Transition started in Prince Rupert in January 2011, and up to this point the main priority of Transition has been leadership development, facilitation training and try to model what good group behaviour looks like.
“One of the basis’ that we have is focusing on how groups work together rather than what actually emerges. Through proper group facilitation and leadership, groups will naturally come up with the right idea for themselves,” Lee Brain of Transition Prince Rupert said.
Transition has five major phases over a period of three to eight years, with the movement gradually building. Prince Rupert’s Transition is in phase one of a five phase process with the group’s first round of projects underway between February and June, known as the growing season. The season system ensures volunteers don’t become burned out and don’t feel guilty if they can’t commit to the group long-term. Transition encourages different people to take on leadership roles each season, instead of having a continuous leader.
“Transition is a never-ending process. It’s going to go indefinitely. We like to have it so people can commit to small amounts of time and can come in and out of leadership roles when it’s convenient,” Brain said.
Earlier this month groups met up to discuss the progress of their projects, which range from small scale undertakings that encourage recycling to larger goals like a skills trading bank.
“These projects will introduce people in the community to things that are different. [The projects] highlight topics around sustainability and show volunteering is fun and can be cool and leading edge,” Brain said.
Two of the projects aim to trigger interest in sustainable energy, but will enhance the look of the community as well. The first is Wind Wall, an art display that would highlight the abundance of wind and get people thinking about usage of wind with rotating aluminium blades that independently move when hit by wind. The group is currently looking for options to pay for the project, as it would cost approximately $15,000.
The second is Generation Station, an energy generating merry-go-round
that would power a display of lights and a cell phone charger for parents and guardians. The hope of the project is to kick off discussion about alternative energy, what it would mean for Prince Rupert, and to get children and parents interested in the idea of sustainable energy.
Likely the quickest project of the five to be up and running will be Recycling Mods, attachments onto the City’s downtown garbage cans to carry empty beverage containers rather than having them end up in the trash. The group is working with a fabricator on the design, which would hold containers in spot during windy conditions and not fill up with water when it rains.
Another Transition project will get people exploring the outdoors. The Trails to Transition group will plant geocaches, GPS-enabled devices that navigate people to the a specific set of GPS coordinates, where they can attempt to find the geocache hidden
at that location. The group will plant geocaches during weekly excursions and, at the same time, do some light spring brushing on the trails. The group will be holding a kick off event in June.
The largest project being worked on this season is a time banking system, which would create a second economy for people to fall back onto. The time bank would have Rupertites trade an hour of their time doing a task for another person’s hour of time doing another task. Whatever people’s skills are they can trade for another person’s, like some who is tech-savvy trading an hour of their time repairing a computer while another person helps care for their children.
For every hour a participant deposits in the time bank, by giving help and support to others, they are able to withdraw equivalent support in time when they are in need of something. The system wouldn’t always have to be a direct change, and wouldn’t have to take place at the same
time. With all needing to be done to implement the system, the group said it’s unlikely to be in place by the June deadline.
Brain ensures Transition isn’t about replacing the current economic system, but creating a new system that coincides with it.
“It’s not saying goodbye to the other system... It’s just creating an alternative model along side the current model,” Brain said, adding the movement could be helpful in the future if there were another economic downfall because it would give Prince Rupert alternative systems to fall back on.
“A lot of people are clearly upset about global affairs... Transition has nothing to do with that. We’re about creating a positive, forward-thinking movement, that’s about creating solutions and moving forward. We have no political motivation. It’s 100 per cent solution oriented.”
For the next two years Transition will continue to focus on leadership development and facilitation training, community projects, workshops, skills training and awareness raising. The movement hopes to eventually move on to larger scale projects that address areas such as energy, food and housing.
Prince Rupert’s Transition is based on the Transition Towns movement which began in England in 2005, and has since expanded to 2,000 communities around the globe.

GOLDEN SHOWINGHurricanes break four-year streakRugby squad splits with Smithers
BY SHAUN THOMAS PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View
It was a historic weekend for the Charle Hays Hurricanes Rugby team.
After four years of taking to the pitch, the rugby team at Charles Hays Secondary School picked up their first win ever on Saturday in Smithers.
The team left Prince Rupert Saturday morning with a short bench, having only one substitute instead of the usual five, and faced off against a team with players from Fort St. James and Vanderhoof in the first of two games. According to coach James Witzke, it didn’t take long for the team to really hit their stride.
“It was fantastic to watch. Right from the first kick, before I even got to my position on the side of the field, the kids had scored their first try,” he said.
“They came out fast and hard right out of the gate. They moved the ball well, supported each other well, ran hard and I don’t think the Fort St. James team was able to adapt to that.”
When the final whistle blew the Charles Hays team enjoyed a 29-10 victory.
However, they didn’t have much time to enjoy the win. Only an hour later, with just enough time to grab a bite to eat and rest the team, nursing some bumps and brusises that come with the sport, faced off against the much more experienced Houston squad who was playing their first game of the day.
“You could tell that endurance became a factor, but Charles Hays played hard the entire game. From start to finish they never
gave up and they never quit,” said Witzke of the 19-0 loss.
“That score doesn’t matter because they played way better than the score reflects. They played great defensively and that is certainly a game that they can be proud of.”
This Wednesday the team will host their counterparts from Terrace beginning at four p.m. at Patullo Field. The players and coaches are hoping to see a strong contingent of fans come out to watch some rugby action.
“This is only the second time in four years that a team has traveled to Prince Rupert to play. It would be great to see a lot of support to cheer on these young men who are so enthusiastic about the sport. It’s also a chance to see a sport that not many in town may be familiar with,” he said.
Win or lose at home on Wednesday, the team will not have much time to rest as they will hit the road on Friday to compete in a round-robin tournament to see which community will represent the north at the provincial tournament later this month.
Look for results from this week’s games in the next issue of The Northern View.
“They came out fast and hard right out of
the gate.”

Aiming for salmon educationBy Martina Perry PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View
Great leaps have been made to revamp the Oldfield Creek Fish Hatchery.
Major renovations to the hatchery started in December 2010, and are expected to be complete by the end of this summer. Included in the updates will be a salmon education centre, one of a few in the entire province that will be 100 per cent salmon related.
Prior to renovations, the hatchery wasn’t in the best shape and literally had to be stripped down to its bones.
“We had it down to only the studs remaining. Everything else is brand new construction,” said Neil Pilgrim, president of the Prince Rupert Salmon Enhancement Society.
By the end of the project, more than $200,000 will be spent on updating the hatchery, which includes the costs of renovations, the educational paneling, the modernization of the incubation room, and replacing the sheds outside of the building.
Most of the renovations to the hatchery building are now complete, with just the aesthetic finishing touches needing to be done. The hatchery’s laboratory area, office space, bathrooms and education centre area are all complete, with only equipment needing to be installed.
To bring the education centre to life, which at this point is being referred to as the Salmon Stewardship and Education Centre, a graphic designer from Vancouver is currently creating high-resolution, eye-catching educational panelling.
Pilgrim said installation of the panelling should be done by the end of July, when the centre will be opened to the public.
When entering the hatchery, visitors will be able to immediately observe the new education centre that will showcase the five species of Pacific
salmon, their habitat, habitat restoration, salmon enhancement procedures, salmon facts and salmon stewardship components.
Programs already being run out of the hatchery by the Prince Rupert Salmonid Enhancement Society, DFO and NWCC will also be benefited by the centre, including the Stream to Sea program, where fisheries and ocean staff bring eggs and sperm to schools where they are fertilized stick them in a tank and take care of them from the incubation process until they are ready to be released.
Another area still requiring work is the hatchery’s incubation room, which will be redone following Smoltfest. The incubation room is the area where young fish are bred to control and reduce environmental factors that may lead to decreased incubation survival.
Renovations are needed to prevent mould and condensation in the space for volunteer health and safety. This project will have to be complete by early August, when immature fish need to be incubated in the room again.
There are currently 530,000 young fish in the incubation room per year, with Pilgrim saying the capacity will increase to 670,000 following renovations.
Funds for work done on the hatchery came from corporate sponsors such as the Prince Rupert Port Authority, the Pacific Salmon Foundation, the Department of Fisheries and Oceans, CN, BC Hydro, Northern Savings Credit Union, Shaw Cable, the Rupert Rampage, as well as from Smoltfest events and various other fundraisers.
Pilgrim estimates there are approximately 15 volunteers helping out with the updating of the hatchery, with essentially all of the work completed so far being done by volunteers.
The hatchery is always in need of additional volunteers, with interested people being encouraged to e-mail [email protected].

Each year the Prince Rupert Salmon Enhancement Society puts on Smoltfest to raise awareness on salmon stewardship and to promote volunteering.
“The event is a wonderful opportunity for families to spend time together, with friends and socialize all while teaching their children the importance of volunteerism and why healthy streams and fish stocks are important,” said Neil Pilgrim, President of the Prince Rupert Salmon Enhancement Society and volunteer at the Oldfield Creek Fish Hatchery.
“We live in such a beautiful region of the province and the environment and salmon in particular are a huge part of our past, present and future and the work being conducted at the hatchery in terms of salmon enhancement and stewardship are on display for a couple of hour,” Pilgrim said.
The society will host the sixth annual Smoltfest at the Oldfield Creek Fish Hatchery on May 25. At the event, those in attendance will send thousands of coho smolts on their way to the Pacific Ocean.
Prior to the release there will be a number of games taking place, as well as craft-making, educational booths, face painting, and a delicious barbecue.
Additionally, this year organizers will also be holding a photography contest, with the winning photo being used on the event’s promotional poster next year. There are no special requirements for the contest, interested people just need to e-mail their photos to [email protected].
The sixth annual Smoltfest will take place on Saturday, May 25 at 4 p.m. The release will commence at 5 p.m.

I don’t see any one particular project or development as the key to Prince Rupert’s economic future. I believe we should focus on building a diversified economy. We should support emerging and new industries and re-building our traditional industries where we have a natural advantage, expertise and a skilled workforce.
As MLA for the North Coast I will advocate for a fair share of new investments and government economic programming.
An NDP government will focus on the fundamentals to promote private sector growth, innovation and a thriving business sector. In Prince Rupert and in the North Coast constituency that means support for industries such as forestry, tourism, shellfish aquaculture, fisheries, trade and export.
Prince Rupert has a Port that is three days closer to major markets. We should support the development of marine services.
I will support realistic, environmentally sound, LNG development.
A thriving small, regional and local business sector will also be a major contributor to Prince Rupert’s economic future.
To these businesses thrive an NDP Government will:
• Freeze Small Business Taxes • Expand the BC Training Tax Credit
Program for small and medium sized businesses that hire BC co-op students
• Expand the Buy BC marketing program to include non-agricultural, made-in-BC products
• Work with small and local business owners to implement the BC Small Business Accord.
• Support Destination BC as an industry-led, formula-funded tourism marketer.
Building a diversified economy versus a one-industry economy is what allows us to build sustainable communities versus being boom and bust.
QUESTION: hOW WOUld yOU balaNcE ENvIrONmENT WITh EcONOmIc grOWTh?
New Democrats understand that environmental stewardship and a strong sustainable economy go hand-in-hand.
We will guarantee high standards and best practices. We will fulfill our responsibility to ensure major projects in BC meet rigorous environmental standards.
To proceed, new developments must not pose unacceptable risks to our economic, social or environmental interests.
We will renew and strengthen the environmental assessment process to ensure BC will have rigorous, science-based environmental standards, and efficient timelines.
We will consult with regional and local citizens and interests and ensure real and meaningful consultation with First Nations.
We will protect significant ecological areas like wetlands, and estuaries and complete the Water Act Modernization process, including groundwater regulation.
And the NDP will introduce new legislation to protect endangered species and habitats.
I believe the adage of economy versus the environment is worn-out and untrue. We need a healthy environment for a healthy economy. The two are interdependent.
NDP candidate Jennifer Rice.

aNd hOW WOUld yOU, aS mla, WOrk TO SUppOrT IT?
I don’t see any one project as the key to Prince Rupert’s economic future.
The healthiest economies are diversified and involve many small operations. Economies dependent on one major project, especially if that project is not sustainable over the long term (as is the case with fossil fuel exports) are obviously less than ideal. To actually create a good, long-term, healthy economy we need to support economic diversification, and especially support small business which tends to have the best benefit to the local region. We need to ensure that, when business operates in our region, that our region receives a strong economic benefit through adequate taxes and well paid local jobs. As well, we need to support local production and processing wherever possible, and reduce our reliance on long distance transport which compartmentalizes regions into simple roles (such as “resource base” or “cheap manufacturing centre”).
QUESTION: hOW WOUld yOU balaNcE ENvIrONmENT WITh EcONOmIc grOWTh?
To answer the question as
straightforwardly as possible - I wouldn’t.
I think one of the biggest problems with our society is that we have accepted the idea that “the economy must continue to grow” as some sort of scientific proof. Logically we know that never ending growth is an impossibility, yet we tend to use the measurement of this quarter’s economic growth as the ultimate measure as to whether our government is doing a good job. We already have a very prosperous society. There is more than enough wealth to go around. Therefore, general economic growth is not what we need. Instead our primary focus should be on other ways to “develop.” How can we continue to be prosperous while having less of an environmental impact? How can our wealth be shared more fairly?
If we change what we assume the main job of government is, the rest falls into place.

Profiling victims and warning signsBy Jeff Nagel VANCOUVER / Black Press
B.C.’s anti-gang police unit is taking a step out of the shadows and into the spotlight.
The Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit (CFSEU) is the integrated team of 400 officers and civilians from 14 different agencies, including RCMP and municipal police forces, that disrupt and suppress organized crime around the province.
Their investigations have cracked big cases, such as the discovery of an audacious cross-border drug-smuggling tunnel in Aldergrove and the unraveling of a massive international money-laundering ring.
The CFSEU is now out to capture a bigger public profile with the publication of its first-ever Community Report.
The report can be read online at bc-anti-gang.com.Sgt. Lindsey Houghton said the aim is to make more
people aware of the CFSEU and what it does.The initiative comes as the anti-gang force chalks up
a major win – the arrest in February of three men in the murder of notorious gangster Jonathan Bacon, who was shot with four associates in 2011 outside a Kelowna casino.
“Some people never thought that day would ever come,” Houghton said. “Or that the police would ever take something like that seriously. That was one of the watershed moments in the history of Kelowna.”
Houghton said the report pulls together a broader picture of the CFSEU’s work than people see in daily news media coverage.
“It seems like every couple of weeks or month we’ve
got an interesting story to tell and this was one way for us to tell it,” he said.
The report includes stories of officers tracking members of the Dhak/Duhre crime group who make up one side of the ongoing bloody gang conflict in B.C.
And it also releases intriguing findings on who is most likely to end up a victim of the gang violence that occasionally erupts in B.C.
CFSEU researchers found the vast majority of gang-related murder victims over a four-year period had previous drug charges or convictions, and often violent criminal pasts.
Most were gang members, not just associates or minor players in the drug trade, and a few were girlfriends or an innocent victim, like a man who was shot in Burnaby after picking up a Bacon brother vehicle to install a car stereo in it.
B.C. gang-related killings peaked at 36 in 2009 before dropping to 18 last year.
Victims are overwhelmingly men and their average age is 30, according to CFSEU stats.
Three-quarters of bodies are found near the victims’ homes or vehicles.
Most (85 per cent) were shot, but eight per cent were viciously beaten, six per cent were stabbed and one victim was burned to death.
Also included are key risk factors for ending up in a gang and tips for parents on spotting potential signs of gang involvement. Carrying multiple cellphones, having unexplained cash and making frequent brief trips out of the home are among the red flags.
The report details how police try to keep gangsters out of bars and restaurants to keep them from recruiting
new blood, as well as to prevent gang violence.This month the CFSEU said it will publicly identify
suspected gangsters where possible as a new tactic to make it more difficult for organized crime to operate.
After a gang-related shooting outside a gym in South Surrey, senior officers are also pledging backup for businesses that make gangsters feel unwelcome in their premises.

The Ice House Gallery was packed last Friday evening for the opening of its newest art show Earth, Air and Water.
Laurie Gray, an Ice House Gallery representative, said the most common source of inspiration for the show was nature, whether it be “the ocean, the land or sense of place” in Prince Rupert.
“We wanted to do something that was inclusive and celebrated where we are,” she said.
On opening night of the exhibit plenty of local art lovers viewed the 48 pieces created by artists mainly from Prince Rupert and area, but also from Terrace.
28 northern artists contributed pieces to the exhibit, with Gray estimating approximately half the artist haven’t previously had their work on display at the Ice House Gallery. The contributors ranged in age, with more experienced artists and even a few children putting their pieces up for display.
Gray said organizers from the gallery decided to do this to help encourage and inspire kids in the community to do artwork.
Pieces in the Earth, Air and Water art show include acrylic, oil and watercolour paintings, photography, fibre art, glass pieces, mixed medium work and more.
Gray said people should come check out the exhibit to support the arts in Prince Rupert and the artists who contributed their work.
“Art always makes our lives better. It’s a good chance to see new work and new things that local artists are producing,” she said.
The exhibit will be up until May 31, with most of the pieces being up for sale.

Earth, Air and Water at the Ice House So you wanna be Premier?
By Martina Perry PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View
If you thought Green Party candidate Hondo Arendt’s quips at last Thursday’s all-candidate forum were funny, then the Harbour Theatre Society’s mock-candidate debate “So, You Wanna Be Premier” will have you falling out of your chair.
Pseudo-Premier contenders will humorously present and debate their cases, with the rule of democracy ultimately decided who the winner will be.
Rudy Kelly, organizer of the show said some candidates will made-up characters, others will be satires of famous people, or for individuals who are already wacky enough, themselves. There are tentatively seven candidates at this point including himself, Treena Decker, Andy Enns, Keith Lambourne, Stephen Huddlestone, Seamus McConville, with James McNish acting as the debate moderator.
Candidates will prepare an opening speech prior to the performance, and will be be given a preliminary question to answer. Then the audience will vote for the candidates they see fit to remain in the running, and will be able to submit some of their own questions for the remaining candidates.
From there, candidates will be put on the spot to answer the pressing questions, with the second half of the show being improv. Then once again the audience will vote for their favourite.
“So, You Wanna Be Premier” will take place May 10 at the Tom Rooney Playhouse at 7:30 p.m.

Artist Lynn Cociani recently put on her first solo exhibit to highlight Prince Rupert residents that help make the community what it is.
Convergence: A Portrait of Community showcases 24 Rupertites that work toward making Prince Rupert a better place to live, with Cociani finding inspiration for her work from community involvement.
“I was thinking of a coming together. We’re a place where the Skeena meets the ocean, and where the land meets the sea, but it’s also is the coming together of people to create this place,” said Cociani, who moved to Prince Rupert eight years ago.
Subjects included in the exhibit consist of politicians, union heads, service providers, culture preservers, Aboriginal advocates, activists, environmentalists, movement starters, childcare workers, literacy promoters, volunteers, art supporters, ministers and people who in general go up and above for Prince Rupert.
“These people deserve to be recognized,” Cociani said.
“There’s a lot of people who are high profile, but a lot of people fly under the radar... I wanted to celebrate those people.”
Cociani said while she was working on each subject’s piece she would spend a lot of time thinking about them; What they do for Prince Rupert and who they are. While working on each individual’s piece she would end up learning about them after hearing things from people in the community.
“I feel really bonded to them. Some of these people I don’t really know, but I still feel really bonded to them,” she said, adding she really respects and admires everyone
featured in Convergence: A Portrait of Community. “I did [the exhibit] as a way of saying thank you to
these people, but I got so much back from it. I got a stronger sense of community connection from it, and I’ve made some new friends. It’s been such a positive experience from it,” Cociani said.
Cociani said she originally approached people within her own social circle, but the project quickly grew.
“Each person I would contact would suggest another one or two people... There’s so many other people I could’ve done a portrait of because there’s hundreds of people doing so many things in this town but I only had room for 24,” she said.
Cociani said it was inspiring to see how many people are involved in making Prince Rupert a great place to live.
“The more people I get to know, the more it feels like home... I can’t remember living in a place where I had that feeling of connection like I do here,” the artist said.
The exhibit’s reception date was April 12, but will be up at the Ruth Harvey Art Gallery at the Museum of Northern B.C. until May 13.
“Say what you want about Prince Rupert, but it’s really an amazing place because of the beautiful surroundings we have, and because of the amazing people,” Cociani said.

Details on the proposed LNG terminal on Ridley Island are becoming clearer as the BG Group submitted its project description to the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency on April 26.
The project calls for construction of a three-train, 21 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) terminal to be carried out in two phases. The first phase would see two trains being built, while the second phase would add the third. The first phase would include one jetty and one berth, with a jettey extension and second berth included in the second phase.
Upon completion of Phase 1 the company anticipates 189 vessel calls per year, with Phase 2 creating an additional 95 vessel calls for a total of between five and six calls per week at the terminal.
In terms of construction, Phase 1 is anticipated to begin in 2016 and run for 60 months. Phase 2 would call for an additional 42 months of construction.
Work on the site would take place 24 hour a day, seven days a week until complete. The plan is to do work that will not create a lot of noise or vibration during the night.
Much like the Pacific Northwest LNG project, workers would be housed at an off-site construction camp. The camp would be designed to accommodate 3,850 workers during the first phase and 2,000 workers in the second phase. In terms of location, the company says an area along the Ridley Island Road has been investigated, but work is ongoing to determine the best location. The camp will occupy approximately 16 hectares on Ridley Island.
With the project description now filed, people have until May 27 to provide comment on the project. The full project description can be found online at www.ceaa-acee.gc.ca registry reference number 80042. This graphic contained in the project description outlines the proposed LNG terminal on Ridley
Island.
Assessment begins for BG Group terminal

Ask Someone Who Knows:Briefing Notes about Post-Secondary Education in Northern BC RidingsChris PicardCollege ProfessorNWCC - Prince RupertMember of theAcademic Workers Union
Increase Operating Grants
NWCC is again being asked by the provincial government to do more with insufficient operating grants, but years of underfunding have left the college vulnerable. NWCC college professors such as
Chris Picard have seen drastic cuts in courses and programs at NWCC. In 2012/2013 alone, the university credit program was cut by 30%.
These cuts threaten regionally-relevant programs such as Applied
Coastal Ecology at the Prince Rupert campus.At a time when the environmental health of BC’s northwest coast is a major political issue, the government cannot afford to underfund valuable college programs that are good for our region.

Prince Rupert Home Hardware dealer-owners Brian Hunchuk and Rick Kurzac, second and third from left, accept the “Proud of My Home” award from Home Hardware management.
Prince Rupert Home Hardware one of the best
BY SHAUN THOMASPRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View
Prince Rupert’s Home Hardware is one of the best in the country.
In April, Home Hardware handed out its annual “Proud of My Home” during the company’s shareholder’s meeting and, although 1,100 stores across Canada were in the running, the Prince Rupert location was one of only 23 to receive the award.
Selections were based on efforts to achieve the highest standards in retailing, merchandise presentation, staff performance and overall quality of the store and the ability to demonstrate excellence in staff performance and customer service; interior presentation, including clear signage, tidiness, and merchandise presentation and displays; exterior presentation, including cleanliness and attractive window displays; staff training; and participation in Dealer network initiatives.
“We’re very excited to be included among the top stores in Canada, and want to thank our staff for all of their hard work. We are proud to serve our community by providing expert advice and top quality products and services at competitive prices,” said Brian Hunchuk, a dealer-owner of the Prince Rupert location along with Rick Kurzac.
“Prince Rupert Home Hardware Building Centre embodies everything the Proud of My Home Award stands for and is a tremendous representative of the Home brand... Prince Rupert Home Hardware Building Centre embodies everything the Proud of My Home Award stands for and is a tremendous representative of the Home brand,” said Paul Straus, President and CEO of Home Hardware Stores Limited.

Haida Gwaii
BY SHAUN THOMAS HAIDA GWAII / The Northern View
With municipalities needing to submit a balanced budget by May 14, councils on Haida Gwaii are setting priorities for the coming year.
In Queen Charlotte, council met on Monday to discuss a budget that includes a two per cent increase in property taxes, equaling $3.63/$100,000 for residents and $12.45/$100,000 for business, that goes along with a three per cent tax roll increase. This year, major capital works projects include water projects, the alternate energy solar project, repairing and construction on Alder Street, 2nd Avenue at 3rd Street and the Gore Creek Bridge, and installing washrooms at the boat launch.
This year, Mayor Carol Kulesha is looking for more economic activity in town.
“We are part of the island economy and it has been tough. We believe we are seeing an upswing but at the same time our schools have lost a significant number
of students and losing families is very hard on small communities,” she said.
“The new hospital construction has begun with preparations to move the clinic and the pre-works around the hospital is happening. This project will bring jobs, and money into the area and be a boost to our local economy. Higher lumber prices should also see positive benefits and the Haida Gwaii Semester will be looking to add courses and students this year. These are the positives.”
The Village of Masset, meanwhile, is not considering a tax increase and there was no significant change on the tax roll. This year the major project is the completion of the airport renovation, while sidewalks and the Delkatla Nature Sanctuary are also priorities.

National Geographic cruising to
Gwaii HaanasBY SHAUN THOMAS HAIDA GWAII / The Northern View
For the first time in more than 20 years, tourists will be allowed to take in the Gwaii Haanas National Park Reserve and Haida Heritage site aboard a luxury cruise ship.
Lindblad Expeditions, which operates in partnership with National Geographic, has been given the green light by the Gwaii Haanas Archipelago Management Board to sail the 62-passenger National Geographic Seabird and National Geographic Sea Lion along the protected shores next year. The 14-day trip leaves Seattle on May 3 and May 4, making its way to Sitka, Alaska, while a second tour will depart from Sitka on Sept. 6 and 7 destined for Seattle. It marks the first time a ship carrying more than 22 passengers has been permitted to visit Gwaii Haanas in more than two decades.
The company lists the Haida Village of Sgang Gwaay or K’una as stops of interest in Gwaii Haanas, while the Village of Old Massett and the Haida Heritage Centre are also on the itinerary.

May Day is celebrated and recognized as Internati onal Workers’ Day, chosen more than 100 years ago to commemorate the struggles and gains of workers and the labour movement. Out of those struggles came the eight-hour day, the fi ve-day work week, improved working conditi ons and child labour laws. These gains were won with the solidarity of workers and the communiti es they lived in. May Day is recognized for its historical signifi cance, but also as a ti me to celebrate the contributi ons of workers today.
In 2004, CUPE Locals and District Councils began celebrati ng May Day across Briti sh Columbia with food and clothing drives, community barbecues, free access to community centre faciliti es and many other events. Proceeds from the drives and barbecues are given to local community organizati ons. This year CUPE Locals have once again organized events in communiti es across the province to show that we care. Please join us for these celebrati ons
Sponsored by CUPE 105 and CUPE BC

Who are the members of CUPE Local 105 you ask? We are friends, family, co-workers, neighbors, homeowners and taxpayers – just like you! WE ARE COMMUNITY!
We are part of 85,000 CUPE men and women working across the Province of British Columbia, keeping our communities strong. We work for municipalities, libraries, golf courses, regional districts located in Prince Rupert, Port Edward and the Village of Masset. We are committed to improving the quality of life for all our workers; protecting good jobs supports families and strengthens our local economy.
We invest in our Community! Every year we donate to organizations such as the BC Annual Dance Competition, Eagle Eye Archers, Kaien Anti-Poverty Society, Cancer Relay for Life, Girl Guides of Prince Rupert, Wildlife Shelter, Prince Rupert Rampage, CHSS Breakfast Program, PRMS Breakfast Program, and CHSS Sports Teams just to name a few.
We believe in our Community! Our members are actively involved in many organizations, through dance, sports, theatre, and other outdoor activities with their families. We have participated in the Annual Seafest Parade; many times having a first place parade float entry made by our very own union members!
We believe that together, we can keep our Community a strong, vibrant and healthy place to live and work!

But Masset Mayor Andrew Merilees said more money will be needed in the future to keep up the community’s existing assets.
“There is a strong community desire to increase the recreation services in the community however the increased costs in maintenance alone has not allowed Council to pursue this concept further. Infrastructure funding is needed from the Province to keep up with the facilities which the community currently operates that are in need of substantial upgrades,” he said.
“We are getting by with the basics. Masset Council has recognized the tight constraints locally and has approached capital projects in a slow and steady fashion. Our community has no industrial tax base to speak of so costs are spread between the approx 450 home owners.”
Residents of Port Clements will also not be seeing a change to the
tax rate. “Our budget contains no tax
increases. We were able to trim budgeted amounts to avoid tax increases,” explained Mayor Wally Cheer, who also listed some capital works priorities for the community in the year ahead.
“Port Clements is hoping to build a barge and container facility and, although we hope to proceed with the project with federal and provincial grants, there are some planning costs we have budgeted for. Also, we set aside some funds for upgrading our sewerage system this year.”
To help guests get the most out of the experience, Lindblad has hired two onboard Haida interpreters to talk about the history, culture and art of the Haida Nation.
On the May departure executive director of British Columbia’s Yukon River Inter-Tribal Watershed Jon Waterhouse will join
the voyage and on Sept. 6 the focus is on photography with National Geographic photographer and marine biologist Flip Nicklin.
The value of the experience and the clientele being marketed to are indicated by the price. The lowest cost available is $9,990 per person based on double occupancy.

For Port Edward Elementary School, this has been a year of major changes.
The students started out the year in a large, older school building but came back after the Christmas break to a much smaller though significantly more state-of-the-art building attached to the municipal offices.
“Moving to the new school was probably the biggest highlight. With that came the opening on Jan. 7. It took lots of work to be ready, but it was very exciting. The Minister, Don McRae, welcomed us into our new building along with Mayor Dave MacDonald,” said principal Deb Taylor.
“The kids are loving the new building. We received money from the District and the Port for new books for the library. We were able to purchase new furniture and are really enjoying learning how to use the Smart Boards that were purchased for us by the Prince Rupert Port Authority... We are waiting with anticipation for the set-up of our new playground.”
Another highlight came just last month when Premier Christy Clark visited the school.
“The kids had a great opportunity to meet the Premier as she spent some time watching some Smart Board presentations and reading with a couple of students,” said Taylor.
“She worked with the District of Port Edward to keep a school in the community and wanted to see the results of that work.”
Most recently the work of the students at Port Edward Elementary School can be seen on these very pages. All of the ads in this special section of The Northern View were drawn by students at the school.

New school now open
A year of change in Port EdCommunity key at Pineridge
By Shaun ThomaSPRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View
If there is one word to sum up the year at Pineridge Elementary School, it’s community.
“There is a really nice feeling of family and community here. This year there has been a lot of building the community and reaching out to the community,” said principal Kathy Dann.
“We have wonderful students who work hard throughout the year and look forward to coming to school everyday.”
As just one example of the spirit of community at Pineridge, on May 16 the school will be holding a multicultural dinner with door prizes donated by Prince Rupert businesses to raise money for a dental chair for Acropolis Manor.
Aside from this one night event, parents have been an integral part of the school. Volunteers have been coming to read to students on a regular basis and family nights throughout the year have brought families together for the sake of the students.
Academically, Dann said one of the highlights took place last weekend.
“We have 13 students competing in a bridge building competition this week. They have been working hard since October on learning to build bridges and now they will see their hard work pay off and see which bridge can hold the most weight,” she said.
This is the second year of operations for the school since the re-structuring of the district to include a middle school model, and Dann said it has been a seamless transition from the get-go.

This year has been an exciting year for staff and students at Charles Hays as the transition to being the lone high school in town continues.
“We’re in our second year of amalgamation and having a lot of conversations about combining the schools we weren’t able to complete last year due to job action,” said principal Sheila Wells.
This year the field has been redone, the building envelope is near completion, work on a band room that will allow music students to stay at the school throughout the day is underway, an autoshop is being built in the school and the gym has been repainted.
The school has brought home a number of zone banners this year, sponsors came on board to provide new uniforms for the school teams following the changing of the athletics name and logo and plans are in place for the bleachers in the gym to be replaced.
But it isn’t just changes to the physical school that highlight the success being seen at Charles Hays.
“The student council has done a great job in getting
things going. We have had two pep rallies already and it has definitely raised awareness for the students... We had a fantastic Milk Run this year, which we weren’t able to hold last year, and had a great turnout of students, staff and volunteers,” said Wells.
“The students are working hard to make this a fun place to be.”
With a solid foundation in place, Wells said the school is looking forward to carrying on the work and atmosphere this year into the 2013/2014 school year.

CHSS adapting to new roleActive parents at Lax Kxeen
By Shaun ThomaSPRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View
It’s been a busy year for students at Lax Kxeen Elementary, and principal Barry Eso said the activity has been helped by a very involved group of parents.
“We have a lot of parents coming to the school. We have Parents as Literacy Supporters, PALS, Parents of Primary Students, POPS, Welcome to Kindergarten, where parents and next year’s kindergarten students come in, and Ready, Set, Learn... We also have a very active Parent Advisory Committee that is operating a hot lunch program where they bring in lunches the students can then buy,” he said.
“We also have a Zumba program where one of the instructors comes in the last Tuesday of the month and works with the whole school, so the students get some extra exercise, and we’ll be having a Zumbathon at the end of the month.”
This year, students have been involved in fundraising, with a successful Jump Rope for Heart and Terry Fox Run, and have been giving back to the community as well.
“We have a choir this year that has been going to Acropolis Manor throughout the year to sing for the residents, and we had a great Christmas concert at the Lester Centre,” said Eso.
In terms of after school activity, sports have been popular with the kids and every Thursday is a Homework Club that allows students to get extra assistance with their academic endeavours. Students in Grades 2 and 3 also took part in swimming lessons sponsored by the Prince Rupert Amateur Swim Club.

This year Conrad Elementary has been focussed on hitting the books.
“I would say the focus on reading has been quite the highlight. The whole school has been focussed on reading and the aim has been improving that — teachers have been involved in school book clubs and we’ve held a number of literacy events... We had a literacy fair on April 23 to celebrate reading and guests like our MLA and the superintendent came and shared their love of reading,” said principal Judy Zacharias.
“Preliminary numbers are showing that the kids’ reading is improving, so that is a definite highlight as that is what we aim for.”
Outside of literacy, another key for the school has been getting parents into the school.
“We have a family picnic coming up, as well as a talent show, and we just had our DARE graduation ceremony. Later in May all of the preliminary student parents will be coming in to do math activities,” said Zacharias.
“When parents and family are involved in the student’s education, we know they do better in
school.”This is the second year Conrad has been a
Kindergarten to Grade 5 school, and Zacharias said the oldest students in the school have really stepped up into leadership roles.
“We’ve really created an environment suited to the younger students and a lot of activities are geared to kids of that age,” said Zacharias.
“The school has a really nice feel to it with all of these young students.”
