Municipal candidates square off at forumBy Alan S. Hale The Northern View

Almost all contenders in the city council election were up on stage at the Lester Centre on Tuesday night for the all candidates debate.

The only person missing was Farley Stewart who had a prior engagement.

The debate was hosted by the Prince Rupert and District Chamber of Commerce and every candidate for mayor and council – 14 in all – answered questions posed to them by a media panel gathered from the Chamber’s members.

Before getting into the questions, each candidate was allowed two minutes to give an opening statement.

–Mayoral Candidates – Jack Mussallem almost immediately

launched into attacks on his rivals’ qualifications to be mayor. He criticized Corinna Morhart’s lack of city council experience and her membership in the federal

Liberal Party. Mussallem asserted that to be mayor a person needs to have education and experience in municipal government, both of which he has and Morhart does not. He also said that by being a member of a political party she was “announcing their bias” which he said would damage her ability to work with provincial and federal governments if they’re not being run by the Liberal Party.

He also went after his other chief rival Kathy Bedard because she has a day-job and because she lives with her husband in Port Edward. Mussallem argued that because he didn’t have to worry about another job, his first consideration is always being mayor of the city and suggested that Bedard would not have the time to be as involved as mayor as he is. He warned the audience that if they picked a non-resident as their mayor it would damage the City’s reputation because “we will be viewed as not being capable of choosing one of our own to lead”.

Corinna Morhart addressed Jack

Mussallem’s criticism of her lack of experience in city government by emphasizing ideas rather than experience.

Morhart says that the council needs to be more transparent in how it conducts its business and should provide the public with information so that they can share in the decision making process.

She also wants to find a balance between development of the economy and maintaining people’s standard of living. To address the infrastructure problems in the city she says that council needs to find new ways of funding the projects that don’t involve placing the burden on taxpayers.

Kathy Bedard started out with a subtle jab at Mussallem and his contention that she shouldn’t be mayor because she lives in Port Edward. She quickly moved to address Mussallem’s other contention that because she has a day job she won’t have the time to be an involved mayor.

She warned the council candidates on stage that if she’s elected mayor they will be given a portfolio to work on, be required to attend committee meetings and sit on task forces, and play an active role in City business.

If elected, Bedard says that there will be changes made to increase the public’s access to council. She promised to have one council meeting a month where the public will be free to come to the council chamber to ask questions about or bring to the council’s attention any City issue they are concerned about.

– Council Candidates – Anna Ashley says if she’s sent back to the council chamber,

she will work towards increasing openness, transparency and accountability. Besides better communication and increased sharing of information from the city, Ashley says she will advocate for a more open and forthright budgeting process where people will be told what the nature of the City’s finances are and be asked to give their input. She is also pushing for a comprehensive plan for dealing with the infrastructure issue in town now rather than putting it off until later, and to do so while looking for alternatives to raising taxes.

Judy Carlick-Pearson says her platform is to create a “safe and economically-sound community that will benefit absolutely everyone”. Carlick-Pearson says that the City can get back to its boom-town days, but not using the industries that supported it in the past. To achieve this new start she says she will focus on developing small businesses, community safety and protecting the environment.

Gina Garon lauded her experience in municipal government and business, including 28 years of running her own small business. Garon says she wants to find new ways to maintain things like the City’s infrastructure, the tax base, schools, the fire hall and more. She would also like to increase the amount of town hall-style meetings with the public in order to prioritize what needs to be worked on first.

Christo Holmes says he’s running for council because he believes he can make a positive contribution to the community and pointed to his work experience, which ranges from organized labour to starting his own business. He has some experience policy making from when he was the provincial appointee and

chair of the Board of Variance. Nelson Kinney says that Prince Rupert is a great community,

but that there’s work to be done in order to keep it that way. To do this, he says, one the things that the city needs to do is let people know that its “doors are open for business.” He wants to replace infrastructure such as roads in an affordable way, provide more training and education opportunities in the city to train young people for the new jobs in the community. Kinney also reached out to seniors, promising to work with other levels of government to provide affordable living and a higher standard of living for them. He says he will work to keep taxes from going up by looking for more alternative solutions to the city’s spending.

James Kirk says that municipal taxes are out of control, and if elected he would push for to cut taxes or at least to stabilize them. He’s adamant that the City has to start looking hard for things to cut from its spending. Kirk says he’s also worried about the Watson Island issue and the lack of information coming out from the court proceedings surrounding it. He also says that he would push to have the RCMP and fire hall buildings repaired rather than replaced because of the expected tax increases associated with spending millions on new buildings.

Conrad Lewis says that his “political cognizance,” lobbying skills, community volunteering work experience, and understanding of finances make him a good choice to be a city councillor. Lewis says if elected he will focus on the City’s infrastructure, quality of life, and social and economic development. Lewis, who has been involved in youth basketball says he will push for more recreational activities for young people. Coupled with new job and education opportunities, he thinks this will make for healthier young people, healthier families and ultimately a healthier community.

Gabe McLean says that there are only two issues at the heart of the election: the budget and its priorities, and economic growth through industry development. On the budget, McLean promises that he will make sure that any tax increase that is higher than the rate of inflation will be put forward to be approved by a referendum. His top priorities for the budget are the infrastructure problem and public safety. McLean says he wants the city to put out more information to the public and that the City has to do a better job in public relations.

Jennifer Rice says she has the creativity and pragmatism to make decisions for a City that is facing many financial restraints. She also feels that the council should be considering more than just the number of potential jobs when deciding what development to allow in the City. To help create “meaningful jobs” that pay well enough to support a healthy livelihood, she advocating to have training and education facilities set up inside the city. As the economy grows she says she will push to make sure locals get the jobs and that programs are set up to help open new businesses downtown and to get families to stay in the City, preserve the well-being of workers and encourage the use of local materials.

Joy Thorkelson feels that the City needs more transparency and it should be communicating with, and seeking input from, the public. Thorkelson says she wants council continue to seek partnerships with the local First Nations groups. The incumbent council candidate says that rebuilding Prince Rupert will take more than a diverse economy with well-paying jobs, it will take a strong “social infrastructure.”

Rob Vallee says that it’s time to “fight for Rupert”. He says that council should spend more of its time focusing on what is happening here in Prince Rupert and less on what other communities are up to. He also wants the City to have a closer working relationship with the Prince Rupert Port Authority in trying to attract businesses and industry development, because he says they hold the keys to the City’s future.

At its November 8 meeting the Prince Rupert School District Board of Education voted to close Port Edward school effective August 31, 2012, but the students could still be attending that building for a few months after the closure.

“At this point the earliest Port Edward council would have their new building is January, 2013, which is some months after the school closes,” said secretary-treasurer Cam McIntyre, alluding to a new community school being built as an addition to the current municipal office.

“We have discussed means of transferring control of the

old school to the District of Port Edward, whether via sale or a long or short term lease…At that point if we close the school we can house the students in that building until the new one opens.”

While other school closures have been tough decisions for the board, board chair Tina Last says this is one she’s happy to do.

“This is one of those cases where we’re closing a school but opening an exciting new door, and the addition to the municipal building looks great…It will be the right size and not a huge building with a significant upkeep cost,” she said, noting that now is the right time to make the decision to close the school.

“We’re not doing this to rush anything through. We made a commitment as a board to see this trough before the conclusion of this term and not pass it on to the next school board…This way the school district knows what is going on and the District of Port Edward knows what is happening.”

Port Edward mayor Dave MacDonald and councillors Dan Franzen and Knut Bjorndal were in attendance at the meeting, and the board had nothing but praise for their efforts.

“You as a council really stuck your neck out there to do what is right for the community,” said board vice-chair Bart Kuntz, who traveled with council to the UBCM meeting in September to seek out more funds for the school.

By Alan S. Hale The Northern View

The Supreme Court of Canada has decided that Lax Kw’alaams does not have a constitutional right to create their own commercial fishery, which is something

the local First Nation has been fighting for in the court system for years.

Canada’s highest court of law upheld a decision by the BC Supreme Court that said that the First Nation had not proven that fish trading was a defining part of

the their society before contact with Europeans. Because of this, they are not entitled to catch fish for the purpose of selling them like they are to catch fish for sustenance and cultural use.

Lax Kw’alaams had argued that there was evidence of commercial fish trade in pre-contact society because of their ancestors’ trade of Eulachon; a fish that contains so much oil that it can be lit and used as a candle when dried. However, this is

the only instance of pre-contact fish trade that Lax Kw’alaams could point to supporting their claim to commercial fishing rights, and Eulachon was only harvested for a few weeks every spring.

In 2009 the BC Supreme Court found that catching one kind of fish for trade was not enough to justify a right to catch and sell “all species of fish” on a commercial scale, which is what the Lax Kw’alaams wanted. On Thursday, the Supreme Court agreed with the lower court.

“The practices, customs and traditions of the pre-contact society do not provide an evidentiary springboard to a constitutionally protected Aboriginal right to harvest and sell all varieties of fish in a modern commercial fishery. The pre-contact society was not a trading people, except with respect to Eulachon grease. As the trial judge found, such sporadic trade as took place in other fish products was peripheral to the pre-contact society and did not define what made pre-contact society what it was,” read the ruling.

“To build a modern commercial fishery on the narrow support of a limited ancestral trade in Eulachon

grease lacks sufficient continuity and proportionality,” reads the Supreme Court’s decision written by Justice Ian Binnie.

After losing the BC court case in 2009, Lax Kw’alaams appealed to the Supreme Court on the basis that the court had not gone about making the decision properly. Lax Kw’alaams’ lawyers claimed that before the courts can make a decision on what constitutes an Aboriginal right, they must first perform an inquiry into what the group’s pre-contact customs actually were, and make a decision based on the findings of that inquiry.

The Supreme Court said that was nonsense.

According to the Court, judges are entitled to make decisions based on what is presented in court, which effectively means that the burden of proving the existence of a right to fish commercially was placed on Lax Kw’alaams itself; and they failed to do so convincingly.

“The ‘commission of inquiry’ approach is not suitable in civil litigation, even in Aboriginal cases where procedural rules are generously interpreted to facilitate the resolution of the underlying

c o n t r o v -ersies in the public i n t e r e s t . F o l l o w i n g that model

would be illogical and contrary to authority, and would defy the relevant rules of civil procedure,” reads the decision.

Lax Kw’alaams also claimed that they had been promised commercial fishing rights by government officials when the reserves were created back in the 1880’s. If true, the government would be obligated to fulfill that promise based on a legal principle known as “honour of the crown.”

But the court didn’t buy that argument either, saying that the claim that this promise was made “has no factual basis.”

“The Honour of the Crown is a general principle that underlies all of the Crown’s dealings with Aboriginal peoples, but it cannot be used to call into existence undertakings that were never given.”

Since the Supreme Court has the final say on all constitutional matters in this country, this is the end of the line for Lax Kw’alaams’ attempts to establish a commercial fishery through the court system. It is not clear how much money of the group’s money was spent on legal fees and other expenses in a three years of legal proceedings that ultimately were unsuccessful at the Supreme Court level.

Lax Kw’alaams was not immediately available for comment.

On Thursday night the Harley Rider’s Group presented Captain Gary Sheils of the Salvation Army over 250 toys and a cheque for $10,000 raised during the 2011 Toy Run.

“Every year you refresh this old heart and get me ready to do what needs to be done for the kids this holiday season, and it really is all for the kids,” said a very happy Cpt. Sheils, adding that there is still a great need in the community.

“It’s going to be another busy year. I forecast we’ll be serving 950 families this year and I expect we’ll help around 1,200 kids, so what these guys do is absolutely huge.”

Organizers of the Toy Run are hoping to make next year’s the biggest yet and are looking into raffling off a Harley Davidson to raise even more money for the Salvation Army.

Captain Sheils is now turning his focus to the kettle campaign.

“I’ve got the Christmas letters done and printed, and I hope to have them out this month or early next month. Kettle workers are needed, since kettles are starting on November 27, and anyone interested can contact Herb Pond who is organizing the volunteers,” he said.

“I’m just so grateful to the people who give year after year and step up just like these guys. And that’s not just for us, but for other charities and groups in town.”

Toy Run another success

OPINIONNorth Coast

There is perhaps no politician that is going to have more of an impact on your day-to-day life than a municipal politician. I know that’s a bit of a stretch given the scope of the decisions made at the Federal and Provincial levels, but when you really think about it, it is a tough point to argue.

The reality is that the MLA elected to represent a riding is one of 85 people sitting at the table. Their vote could sway things one way or another, but realistically that’s doubtful as a) 43 people in favour or opposed to something decide the fate of the legislation, b) there are only two parties so a majority is easy to get in the Legislature and, perhaps most importantly c) those who are elected are far more likely to vote as directed by their party than as directed by their constituents due to a system that allows parties to reprimand those who don’t tow the party line.

On the federal level, it’s a similar situation except the MP is one of 308 people casting their vote - again most likely along party line. So in this case if 155 people support or oppose something that’s how it is going to happen. And in the current Parliament the Conservatives have a majority so they can really do whatever they want.

Compare that to the municipal level. Here in Rupert, the largest municipal council on the North Coast, the happenings of the City when it comes to taxes, infrastructure, spending and so on is based on the desire of just four people. That’s right, if four people want something done it’s done, if four people don’t want something done it’s not. That is a lot of

power to be putting into someone’s hands when it comes to decisions that will reflect on your tax bills or in the schools.

By now all the candidates have outlined their ideas, and lengthy stories on that can be found on our website at thenorthernview.com. It’s now in the hands of us, the voters,

as to who gets that power and who represents our interests. This Saturday, do yourself a favour and get out and vote.

Vote for those who share your beliefs or vote against those whose ideas you strongly oppose. Regardless how you vote, make your voice heard on Saturday.

MY VIEW…

Get out there and vote this Saturday...

It is often said that tourism is an “industry of industries.”

Many different types of businesses and organizations are needed to create a healthy tourism economy. This is true even of businesses that don’t have an obvious tourism role.

Tourism is divided into sectors. In a broad definition of tourism, there are eight identified sectors: accommodation, adventure tourism and recreation, attractions, events and conferences, food and beverage, tourism services, transportation, and travel trade. However, we use sectors a little less generally in describing local tourism. So in our case, wildlife watching, sport fishing, cruise ships, and so on, are seen to be sectors in addition to the broader industry sectors of museum / accommodation, or transportation.

In the local market these are often very distinct from one another in their needs, opportunities and challenges. For example, without getting into too much detail, there are very different challenges facing individual segments of our market this season. In cruise

we need to develop our offering if we hope to continue to attract ships. Sport fishing may again be impacted by halibut allocation. Circle tours that provide the bulk of our overnight leisure market face the threat of ridiculous fares on BC Ferries and the lingering threat of ships being withdrawn, and so on.

More than anything, from the perspective of Tourism Prince Rupert, each of the sectors of our local industry have very different audiences. Since it is our role to market Prince Rupert to all visitors, we have to split our limited resources in an attempt to benefit all sectors.

Of course there is much overlap. For example, the vast majority of our cruise visitors are from the U.S. The most effective way that we have of reaching that huge market, with a small budget preventing broad advertising campaigns, is by seeking coverage in American media. It is within our means to work to attract travel writers,

and a single feature in a large magazine, when compared to the cost of buying a comparable amount of advertising, can bring returns worth almost as much as our entire annual budget. And of course stories in American media, available and popular throughout the western world, are of benefit to all sectors.

Of course the landscape is shifting now. Social media

is a powerful new force that allows us to target even more specifically, for very little investment. For example, we traditionally reached our sport fishing audience, primarily based in northern BC and Alberta, through fishing magazines, and occasionally through local newspapers in communities identified by local operators as strong markets. Now, with the explosion of social media, we are reaching a point where we can more economically reach into specific markets.

Sometimes TPR feels pressure from businesses operating primarily in one or

another of the sectors to market to their audiences to the exclusion of others, but of course this would be counter-productive to the needs of the community. Our duty, in marketing the community, is to see the big picture. A non-traditional tourism business such as a dry cleaner sees benefit from tourism traffic on BC Ferries. Likewise our cruise capacity is greatly enhanced by, say, ensuring that our sport fishing operators remain strong in their traditional markets and have the capacity to offer excursions for cruise ship passengers.

The truth is that in a town like Prince Rupert, we’re all in the tourism industry. Tourism is one of the things that sustains the businesses we rely upon in Prince Rupert – even non-traditional tourism businesses, furniture stores, bakeries and what-have-you, are sustained in part by tourism revenue circulating in the community. No single sector within the tourism industry can be singled out – we must keep it all healthy, and growing, for the long-term health of the community.

EditorI do not feel safe at the Prince

Rupert Airport. We used to have paramedics

who were also trained fire fighters on duty at the airport for emergency response to any situation. They performed regular checks to maintain a safe environment (including fire prevention), passenger security, and First Aid. They could provide CPR, oxygen, start IVs, and defibrillate, if necessary. These paramedic/fire fighters are no longer

there. Imperial Oil products are

available at the airport. On site are a 75,000 litre Jet A-1 fuel tank and a 12,000 litre mobile unit for dispensing fuel. Planes loading fuel are parked within 15 meters of the building. See Prince Rupert Airport website.

After the fire truck was sold to Alberta last year and the last paramedic/fire fighter was gone, we were told that in a fire emergency, a Prince Rupert fire truck will zoom across on the ferry in good

weather within 25 to 30 minutes. (Daily News, May 5, 2010). The airport manager also pointed out (to be reassuring?) that a supply of dry chemicals and foam are kept at the airport for use by fire fighters from the city.

However, he did not also explain that a city fire truck must first empty its supply of water before boarding the ferry and then must fill up with water again before the foam can be sprayed onto a fire.

And, later this year, we

were informed that the airport has purchased an easy to use defibrillator with easy to read instructions.

If I suddenly collapse, while waiting for a plane, no one is there to determine whether I have had a diabetic crisis, stroke, heart attack or is a designated person to look for the defibrillator and read the instructions about its use.

We cannot relax in the knowledge that the Prince Rupert airport standards of safety meet

the requirements of Transport Canada. When we make travel arrangements and think about our own needs and risks, the lack of emergency services in our remote, isolated airport must be considered. Even though bringing this to light may be “bad for business”, it is not “good for business” to keep people in the dark.

Our new city council must look at this situation and deal with it, with transparency and input from the public.

Peggy Davenport

Lack of emergency services at airport a real safety concern


It was an emotional evening in the lobby of the Lester Centre last week as well over 100 people came to remember the women who have disappeared along the Highway of Tears; the turnout being considerably higher than that of the Prince Rupert meeting of the provincial inquiry into the same issue held a couple months ago.

The candlelight vigil was organized by he North Coast Transition Society with a big help from the staff working for MLA Gary Coons. The evening started out with a traditional performance by the All-Nation Dancers, dressed in full ceremonial regalia. The music – much like everything else at the gathering – was very personal and emotional to those performing it. Gerald Stewart from

the dance and drum troupe sang a song he wrote after losing the woman he loved a few days after she gave birth to their child.

The Native Women’s Association of Canada has documented more than 600 cases of Aboriginal women and girls who were murdered or remain missing. This issue has touched every Aboriginal, Inuit and Metis family and community,” says Vicki from the Transition society.

Aside from the traditional singing and dancing, there was also poetry reading and a country song written by local musicians Bruno Hoy and Lance Clark about the women who disappeared on the highway.

MLA Gary Coons echoed the general sentiment in the room that not enough has been done to properly address the problem

of disappearing women. Coons says that even when a serious attempt is made to try to do something the government drops the ball and doesn’t act. He pointed to the 2006 Highway of Tears Symposium report which contains recommendations, most of which haven’t been acted upon.

“33 recommendations came out, and that was five years ago...A couple of the recommendations were pretty simple: try to get some transportation in between communities, try to raise awareness in communities from Prince George all the way to Prince Rupert, hire some coordinators. The recommendation was for two [co-ordinators] but they hired one for two years, and that was five years ago,” says Coons.

The vigil also marked the end of

the Highway of Tears poster contest, with 16-year-old Jenna Earp being selected as the overall winner because of her concise poster which the Mayor Mussallem described as “purposeful,” and that it could be used easily as a sign on the highway itself.

Other winners were:Ages 12-15: 1st Brandi Good, 2nd Chantal Walter, 3rd

School board adds over $144,000 in additional spendingBy Shaun Thomas

The Northern View

The Prince Rupert School District will be adding another $144,445 in spending to the 2011/2012 budget after discovering

a larger than predicted surplus. “There was $197,292 not yet

allocated in the budget, but once the audit was complete we found the number was actually $370,791. Our recommendation is to $144,445 of the surplus now, which will leave

$226,346 for when the amended budget is approved in February,” explained secretary-treasurer Cam McIntyre.

The biggest new expenditure is $60,000 for literary resources for students in grades four to grade

eight, which superintendent Lynn Hauptman said was one area identified as missing. Another $40,000 will be used to bring the amount available for the Prince Rupert Middle School Library up to $50,000,

which Hauptman said was requested “because they’re essentially starting a new library”.

Another $40,000 has been earmarked for a project that will allow grade six students easier access to the internet and computer technology called the “one to one computers” program.

“The intent is for every kid entering the middle school to be assigned a netbook that stays with them for the three years of middle school. After three years the school

district can turn them over to the student to take with them to high school,” explained the district’s of information technology Tim Dressel.

“It doesn’t mean the students will use the laptops all the time, it means as the teacher instructs them students can have the technology available and won’t have to run to the lockers to get it.”

The remaining $4,445 will go toward noon hour supervision at Pacific Coast School.

Editor’s note: The following was received as an open letter to municipal candidates in the November 19 election:

Mayor – Council candidates: I missed the question period for the mayor and

council candidates on November 8 at the Lester Centre as I was helping my daughter deliver this paper.

On a different note I would like

to know from each candidate how they would propose or approach bringing down this invisible wall or barrier between natives and non-natives.

You cannot sit there and pretend that it does not exist. It is pretty much evident in every day living, especially with government.

Very interested in hearing your comments. Sam Robinson

Fresh New Ideas & New Approach Refocus on Community Priorities Respect in Council Chambers

CORINNA MORHART ffor MAYOR!

I am seeking to become your next Mayor because I believe that Prince Rupert can do better. Under the current leadership, we have seen the erosion of respect and decorum in Council Chambers. Our Council can be and should be more transparent in the way it conducts its business.

We have seen the City become paralysed in trying to resolve important issues such as the sale of the Watson Island property and in trying to address the need for a new protective services building. Meanwhile, our residents are still suffering from policies that do not promote the health, wellness and sustainability of our community.

Our City has operated on a ‘this is how we do things’ or a business as usual basis. We simply cannot afford more of the same. It is time to start moving our community forward. As your Mayor, I will bring a new style of leadership to the Council table that is more collaborative and respectful. With your support, we deserve better and we can do better! So, please vote for the candidate with “Morhart” to be our next Mayor!

Morhart, Corinna

Prince Rupert has a long, rich tradition as one of the leading centres of BC’s northwest region. Its proud history has been well earned as we were one of the major centres for

the fishing industry and with wood and pulp products.

Today, our community has faced a decade-long struggle to recover from the economic difficulties brought on by the closure of the Skeena pulp mill and the decline of the

commercial fishing industry.

I believe in our community and its people. We have faced many hardships together and we have persevered. I believe in a Prince Rupert that is caring and compassionate

- one that looks after its own to ensure that we have timely and reasonable access to important services such as affordable quality housing, medical and health services

among others.

I believe in a Prince Rupert that is committed to its environment - seeking to play a leading role in ensuring that we reduce our carbon footprint while looking to become

more sustainable in our practices and operations. Our children and our grandchildren deserve to inherit a better world from us.

I believe in a Prince Rupert that can rebuild its local economy, building prosperity that allows more of the community to participate. I believe in a community that is

vibrant and dynamic, capitalizing on our greatest asset - our people. As I am fond of saying, the people are the heart of Prince Rupert. By working together, we can start

writing a new chapter in Prince Rupert’s rich and proud history.

Meet the candidates for School Board IIEditor’s note; Below are the two school

board candidate profiles that were missed last week.

Tanya BoudierI came to Prince

Rupert to raise my family and to give my husband, Glen Irving, an opportunity to teach as a teacher on call.

We have resided here since 2006 and consider Prince Rupert our home.

Our son, Sam, is a student at Pineridge Elementary. Over the past 3 years, I have been an active member of his school, participating on the executive for the Parent Advisory Council as well as part of the School Planning Committee. I have volunteered my time professionally as an Occupational Therapist within the schools. I have observed first hand the important link between school and home in fostering successful learners. I have also seen the dedicated group of individuals we have working with our children.

I am an Occupational Therapist currently employed by Northern Health. I have successfully secured additional funding and grants to design and implement a Falls Harm Reduction program into residential care and am now working on extending

this program across the continuum of care in Prince Rupert. I have experience working with a diverse range of people toward a common goal. My training and experience have taught me the importance of clear, open communication and collaboration when addressing complex issues.

I have served on the board for the College of Occupational Therapists of BC and am the current chairperson for the Quality Assurance Committee.

I am a member of the Health Sciences Association union. I am currently a union steward and have acted as the Occupational Health and Safety steward in past years.

I have a strong commitment to safety and advocacy. Our children need safe schools to learn in. If elected, my focus will be on finding local solutions that fit our community and advocating for the provincial changes necessary to support our schools. I am fully committed to being available to families, students, staff and other stakeholders as we are all in this together. I am not afraid to speak up when needed.

Thank-you for your support on November 19th. I encourage everyone to come out and vote—be part of the solution!

Russell WiensRussell Wiens married to Colleen

for 34 years, two daughters who both graduated from PRSS and have gone onto successful careers: one as a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) and the other with a Masters of Business Administration.

Living in Prince Rupert for the past 22 years, have been very active in many Volunteer Associations.

Honored and privileged to have served 18 years as a school trustee serving the students of our community. I do bring a lot of experience to the position but more importantly I bring a balanced perspective to the District. A past Union leader for many years, I understand the need for and respect Collective Agreements. Balancing that with the needs of ensuring the most dollars available go to supporting students. My priorities are safe and optimum learning environment for all students.

I started the move to have a controlled crosswalk at McBride and 9th Avenue.

A new building for the middle school is also very high on the list, one that I am sure we will accomplish in time. My dedication and commitment is unwavering.

I ask for your support on November 19, 2011.

As an aside I would like to mention Josie Mackey’s name as Josie looks after the Garage Sales and the Teas and Bazaars as our Special Events Coordinator. It is a huge job and Josie works extremely hard every year to make these events the successes that they

are. Way to go Josie and way to go all the hard working volunteers who help Josie make it all happen.

Dawn is giving out a last call for senior members in the community to give us a visit or a call and tell us their “story” or history of their time in Prince Rupert. How did you get here? When did you arrive? Where did you work? Do you have a favorite snapshot that you’d like your friends and family to see printed with your story. The first volume of “100 Years of Rupertites” was a hit but we missed many people and their stories. Please let us know if you are interested and we will help you get

started. Call us at 627-1900, e-mail us at [email protected] or come down and see us.

***Correction from last week: I meant to thank

Doug Moore for his role in providing the Seniors’ Centre with complimentary tickets to Concert Society Performances. I called him Ted...Sorry Doug.

LENDING A HAND…

The Moose hall was fi lled with Prince Rupert seniors for the Annual Kaien Island Thanksgiving dinner. Members of the Charles Hays girls volleyball team helped the club serve the dinner and even put on an impromptu dance routine. The event catered by La Gondola is the Kaien Island Lions’ major sponsorship event each year and is paid for with funds earned from the provincial gaming revenue program.

Municipal Candidates’ Responses to Candidate Survey Regarding Skeena Wild Salmon

Questions:What do you perceive as the single greatest human-1. caused threat to Skeena wild salmon?If elected, what will you do to ensure sustainability of 2. our Skeena wild salmon?Do you support or oppose the Enbridge pipeline?3. What do you think is the single greatest opportunity 4. for non-industrialized community economic development?Do you support protection of the Sacred Headwaters? 5.

PRINCE RUPERT

Kathleen BedardThe survey doesn’t allow varying degrees of agreement or disagreement with the limit of 100 words, but I have answered the fi rst and second question.

I perceive over-fi shing and pollution as the greatest human-caused threats to Skeena wild salmon but I do not necessarily think it is the fi shers on the North Coast who are over-fi shing, as I am aware of very creative and sustainable fi shing practices being employed, but is resulting from fi shing practices before they reach the Skeena and pollution from outside the region. Ensuring the sustainability of Skeena wild salmon is not a direct mandate of a City Council. It resides with organizations such as yours to lobby for proper fi shing practices and maintenance; hopefully, with the support of Council.

Corinna Morhart - Could not reach/Did not respond

Jack Mussallem1. To much escapement; disease in the spawning channels.2. Lobby for increased enhancement.3. Ad Mayor, and on any topic, must wait for the review process to end, before providing comment.4. Greater enhancement and fuller utilization of wildlife and fi sh stocks. We have very scenic and beautiful areas that can be shown to the world, Canada has favored nation status with China, there’s a tourism opportunity.5. Yes.

Anna Ashley1. There are many human-caused threats to Skeena wild salmon. The biggest threat would be global warming and its effects on water temperature and climate which ultimately affect salmon stocks, especially as they spawn. If salmon cannot recognize the waters they came from, as they return to the rivers, then the life cycle is interrupted and as a result salmon stocks decline. Policies need to be created that refl ect

environmentally sound practices in business and industry and funding must be available to support their implementation. This also means holding government agencies to task on enforcing environmental policies around resource use.2. Since fi sheries are under federal jurisdiction, municipal levels of government do not have any power to create policies around this matter. However, there is power in working together with our fellow municipalities and organizations such as the Union of BC Municipalities to put forward resolutions that protect our wild stocks. It is my belief that municipal governments should lobby other levels of government to create, fund and enforce policies that support sustainability, and environmentally sound practices to ensure that there is a sound balance between environmental, economic, social and cultural considerations.3. I believe in economic and environmentally sustainable resource use. As a Prince Rupert citizen, I don’t believe the Enbridge pipeline is worth the risk. There is virtually no fi nancial benefi t in terms of jobs, or revenues for our city. It is a huge risk to our quality of life and the industries we rely on in our community such as sport and commercial fi shing, tourism, and aquaculture in the event of an oil spill. As a councillor however, I believe it is the people of Prince Rupert that should decide whether or not they want projects like the Enbridge pipeline.4. The single greatest opportunity for non-industrialized community economic development is in the area of Tourism, which although technically an industry, does not have the same effect on the environment as other resource industries. It is renewable and sustainable while providing many jobs and a lot of revenue to our city. There are huge opportunities for the development of the tourism sector in our region, due to our beautiful coastlines, majestic mountains, pristine waters and abundant wildlife. We can partner with our fi rst nations neighbours, and neighbouring local governments, to expand this sector in the areas of cultural and eco-tourism. 5. The proposed development in the Sacred headwaters would potentially contaminate the watershed at its source which would have wide ranging impacts on the entire ecosystem. This can cause such things as contaminated drinking water, depleted salmon stocks (destruction of spawning beds), loss of wildlife habitat, loss of revenue and resources for the sport and commercial fi shing industry, as well as others. I don’t believe the currently proposed resource extraction from this area is environmentally sound or sustainable due to the nature of the process being proposed for use.

Judy Carlick-Pearson1. I believe that over conversation is a huge threat to our sustainability, as well as pollution. I grew in and around the fi shing industry and so I appreciate proper management of our resources. I also believe that protecting our waters is a crucial component when it comes to talking about our future. We need to do what’s best for our waters and lands and think

strategically about the our future as a marine city. 2. In my platform I state “Promoting economic development with the intention of hiring locally and training locally. While also keeping in mind that there are no environmental or community risks involved in projects”3. Yes, I believe that the Pipeline could generate more jobs in our communities however, the risks are very visible and not worth jeopardizing our waters. We need to protect our waters at all costs. I understand that people think that the Pipeline will help develop our help community but it may also may ruin our livelihood, sustenance and future as a marine city.4. No comment. 5. Yes

Gina Garon1. My perception is that the single greatest human caused threat to skeena wild salmon is the possible contamination from tailings from mining sites and other heavy industrial contaminates. 2. If elected, I will ensure that we continue to lobby our federal and provincial governments to protect Skeena Wild Salmon3. Personally, at this time, I do not support Endbridge as I still have alot of unanswered questions ....What I do know is that I do not want to be held responsible for the devastation that will occur when there is a catastrophic oil spill , be it on the ocean or inland.......I have questioned them several times at council meetings and they continually are unable give the responses that I need in order to make an informed desicion.4. I believe there are many opportunities for non-industrialized community economic development. What the single greatest opportunity is.....I would have to explore those opportunities.....it is not up to me to decide.....it is up business to decide what that looks like.....perhaps food production is a possibity.....be it mariculture, aquaculture, salmon ranching, shell fi sh production.....harvesting mushrooms from the forest fl oor......and other plants that might be used in phamasutical applications.....there are endless opportunities to be explored. 5. Yes, I do support protection of the Sacred Headwaters.

Christo Holmes - Could not reach/Did not respondKinney Nelson - Could not reach/Did not respondJames Kirk - Could not reach/Did not respondConrad Lewis - Could not reach/Did not respond

Gabriel McLean1. Supply and demand market.2. I do not have an answer for you because I am not aware of municipal powers over the issue of wild salmon. I am prepared to learn how and at what level I could be educated and involved.3. Support4. Alternate hydro power generation.5. YES

Jennifer Rice1. At the present moment I think the greatest human-caused threat to Skeena wild salmon would be the federal government

that the people of Canada have put in leadership. Unfortunately, the present government does not seem to understand the value of wild salmon to the people of British Columbia. This is demonstrated by recent endorsements for the Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline project from federal ministers before the review of the project has even been completed. It is also demonstrated by the recent cancelling of the funding of the PNCIMA (Pacifi c North Coast Integrated Management Area) process. This marine planning process will help plan for the future determining areas allocated for specifi cs uses including First Nations use, commercial use and protected areas.2. If elected I would support economic and community development projects that are in tune with the values of the people that live in the Northwest. That includes a life and culture where salmon and other species of fi sh are valued and not put at risk.3. I do not support the Enbridge Northern Gateway Pipelines proposal that would see 1200 kms of twin pipelines running from the Alberta tar sands to the town of Kitimat. The project would mean crossing 1000s of fi sh-bearing streams and would introduce super-tankers to Northern waters that would be required to navigate the rocky shores of Douglas Channel. While all development has an environmental impact to a certain degree, the risks of this particular project far outweigh the benefi ts4. This is a great question and should be posed to the people who live here. I think the possibilities are limited to our collective imaginations. One possibility would be local energy production such as small wind turbine generated, or tidal produced energy. Not only is this an economic opportunity for Prince Rupert but it helps build community resilience. We are after all, a small and isolated community at the end of a road.5. I do support the protection of the Sacred Headwaters -- The Headwaters of the Skeena, Stikine and Nass rivers. These 3 great rivers are of tremendous economic and cultural signifi cance to the people of the Northwest. Putting these rivers at risk by drilling for coal bed methane is a risky practise that has a record of poor success with much environmental degradation. This activity has the potential to destroy fi sh and fi sh habitat including eulachon, a species at risk and of great importance to local First Nations hence I support the protection of the Sacred Headwaters.

The 10 candidates for school board trustee participated in an all-candidates forum on Wednesday

night in a forum driven by questions from the audience, which was largely made up of those employed by the district.

The format of the event allowed each candidate to make an opening

s t a t e m e n t , followed by questions that would be answered by two random c a n d i d a t e s , followed by questions aimed at individual c a n d i d a t e s followed by a closing statement.

In the opening s t a t e m e n t , each candidate outlined their main concerns and their reasons for seeking election.

“I really believe I still have something to contribute. We’ve made the most massive changes to education in 18 years in Prince Rupert with the introduction of the middle school last year...Education is more of an investment in the community, the province and the country than anything else. I highly believe

in the power of public education,” said Russell Wiens, who has been a trustee for 18 years.

“Right now the district, from my perspective, has a lot of complex issues and resource issues. To resolve those we need to come together as a team...We really need to get as many people’s voices heard as possible,” said Tanya Boudier, a first-time candidate for trustee.

“I have never seen morale in the district so low. It is time for school boards to say no. No, we can’t cut any more. No, we won’t close any more schools and pack students into classrooms that can’t hold that many students,” said Marty Bowles, a former president of the Prince Rupert and District Teacher’s Union.

“We’ve come a long way with the trustee board since I came on...We were in turmoil, I’ll grant you that. We were in one hell of a turmoil. We had to get out of that turmoil and get back on track, and I think we are on the right track now,” said incumbent Leonard Alexcee.

“Every student matters, and we have to do what we can to help them succeed...We have to work together to create a safe and nurturing environment where the students can succeed,” said

incumbent Terri-Lynne Huddlestone.

“I’m all about students and parents having choice, I want my two daughters to have a choice in public education...I’m proud to make unbiased, well-informed decisions on the issues that are facing our district,” said incumbent Bart

Kuntz who spoke of the proposed BC Education Plan.

“I’m a firm believer that parents, students, teachers, the board and administrators have to work together. We all have the same goal, and that is for our students to get the best education possible,” said Barb Gruber, who introduced herself as the community volunteer.

“I believe it is time to review our education system, particularly the curriculum and the September to June model...It is a new technological world and we need to give the students the tools to be ready for the world their entering,” said board chair Tina Last.

“We need a board that can tell us what we can do, not what we can’t do...My goal is looking at literacy and increasing accountability for the success of all students,” said incumbent Louisa Sanchez.

“I will bring to the table a team-building approach and I would like to bring back our Partners in Education Committee to ensure success....We also need to utilize our closed schools. We can’t allow them to deteriorate like the other schools that were closed,” said former trustee Brian Johnson, adding that the board needs to make better use of the MLA.

When asked what one thing they would change to improve education locally, Wiens and Kuntz said class size and composition, Last said having the students come to school fed, well rested and with involved parents, Bowles said more parent involvement and Johnson said passing the budget line by line to better examine how it will impact the classrooms.

On the question of reporting on special needs students Last pointed out that there are a disproportionate amount of children with needs in the district and that isn’t being reflected in the funding coming to the region, Johnson said the board needed to discuss with the teachers more what their needs are. On making the budget process and reporting more public, Bowles noted the process was more public years ago with three meetings as opposed to one, Sanchez noted that the vulnerability of students make the budget process different in Prince Rupert, Wiens said parents need to be more involved as they sometimes have more political clout than trustees with the government, and Last said making better use of the money in the district may be better than asking for more money from the district.

After much discussion about working together, the question about bridging the gap and mending relationships between management and the unions came up. Last said part of the problem is all the groups are competing for a small amount of money that comes from the province, Bowles said meaningful, articulate discussion was needed to get away from the 100 or so grievances, and Sanchez acknowledged there had never been so much distrust in the district and that more meetings together were needed. In losing statements that also touched on the subject, Gruber noted that if teachers and administrators don’t get along, it is the children who suffer, and Huddlestone said respectful discussion among the stakeholders was crucial to moving forward.

School board candidates field questions at forum

◆ NOVEMBER 19 ELECTION

Shaun Thomas photo

Candidates and moderator Carolina De Ryk listen to an audience question.


Concerns about the state of the band program in Prince Rupert were raised at the November 8 school board meeting as declining enrolment in the grade six program.

“There has been in excess of 100 students lost from the band program at the middle school level,” said Joanna Larson of the Prince Rupert District Teacher’s Union.

According to superintendent Lynn Hauptman, part of the problem is coming up with a schedule for the middle school given it is the first year there has been one in Prince Rupert.

“When we did it, the administrators made it clear that the school’s timetable would be a first draft and would be a work in progress. We didn’t think it would answer all questions or address all concerns...Band is one of those tweaks that may be being looked

at,” said superintendent Lynn Hauptman, noting that the numbers provided include a grade five program that is not being run this year and the band program at

Annunciation.“It is a growing

pain. I don’t think it is irreparable or permanent,” added board chair Tina Last.

According to Last and Hauptman, another reason for the decline is simply the middle school model and the opportunities it presents to students that weren’t available

in the old elementary school model.

“For the first time students have had a choice and that was band or a rich array of electives offered at Prince Rupert Middle School...They’ve got other choices and they’re looking at those choices,” said Hauptman.

“I think it is great that they have more choice. If they don’t choose to explore other programs that is great, although you

don’t want to see any program see a drop in numbers...I am glad to see students have more choice,” added Last.

On November 19th Vote James KirkFor City CouncilJames Kirk is a long time resident of Prince Rupert. He attended school and worked here until his recent retirement. James has the time and energy to address your concerns as a member of City Council, FULL TIME!

City Hall is broken. We have so many seri-ous issues here in Prince Rupert that cannot be resolved just by continuous tax increases and more and more onerous bylaws. These appear to be the only solution to every problem faced by our current elected of cials.

Both our water supply and sewage systems are ancient and fragile. One mild earthquake and we face the real possibility of having no running water on our island. We cannot afford to wait for this to happen. We can live with potholes in our roads for now. We cannot live without running water in our sinks and toilets. WE MUST ACT NOW!

Another serious issue we all face as Rupertites is the ongoing and contemptuous secrecy which surrounds City Hall. It is as though every decision is a matter of national security. It’s nonsense. STOP! this is a DEMOCRACY!

Any company doing business with the municipality in which millions of your tax dollars are involved can have no legitimate expectation of total secrecy. The people of Prince Rupert have a Fundamental right to know exactly what is going on. If you are doing business with the City of Prince Rupert and you expect complete secrecy from our public of cials, you are in the wrong country.

We Must get our priorities in order

These are just some of the concerns, we need to address if we are to move forward as a city. Spinning our wheels year after year while ignoring the seri-ous issues solves nothing. It is in fact one of the reasons for our unbelievable $90 million dollar de cit.

• We must reduce costs at City Hall

• Our City payroll is TWICE that of Terrace

• We live in a geographically Strategic place on this planet

• We must leverage this valuable position to the best advantage of our citizens

• We can no longer afford to put off the tough decisions which must be made.

As a taxpayer what are your priorities?I will listen to your concerns, take them seriously, and act on them to the best of my abilities. Now is the time to vote for change!

Sparks flew at a meeting at the library as the mayoral candidates finally got some time for just the three of them to spar with each other over their visions for the city’s future.

While not originally planned to be a debate per se, candidates couldn’t seem to help themselves from taking shots at each other.

The meeting was hosted by the North Coast Immigrant and Multicultural Services Society at the library Thursday night which was attended by small group of residents and many of the city council candidates. Corinna Morhart, Jack Musallem and Kathy Bedard’s names were put in a hat and Morhart was chosen to make her case about why she should be mayor first.

After talking shortly about her childhood in Terrace and how she originally came to Prince Rupert, she lauded her experience working in city hall as the practicum for her degree in social work. It was there that she got involved in the process to draw up the five-year community plan.

This is valuable experience, she says, because next community plan has to be drawn up in the next year and as mayor she would encourage the public to come out and to be involved as much as possible.

Morhart has been under fire from her opponents for not having any experience in actually being a part of a municipal government, but says voters should vote for her because her experience working with many different individuals and groups in Prince Rupert.

According to Morhart, council needs to do a better job showing support for different groups in Prince Rupert by attending events and contacting the organizers if no one from council can make it.

She also made a point of saying that she no longer has a membership in any political party now that her Liberal Party of Canada membership has expired. Throughout the course of the campaign, incumbent Jack Mussallem has criticized his opponents for having political party memberships.

Morhart says even if she’s never sat on council like her rivals she’s ready to be Prince Rupert’s mayor if voters choose her.

“I am seeking the position of mayor because I believe that I have the knowledge and skills it takes to bring people together to achieve excellence,” says Morhart.

Jack Mussallem was selected to speak after Morhart finished. He started by saying that he is the most qualified candidate to be mayor because of his “19 years of combined education, knowledge and experience, working with five local governments and seven years elected as your mayor.”

The incumbent says it is essential that the mayor has a working knowledge how municipalities operate, their regulations and procedures as well as what services

and utilities the city of Prince Rupert is responsible for running. That way, says Mussallem, the mayor will be able to guide council and staff towards making the best decision possible on an issue.

Mussallem says that the mayor is basically the town’s number one negotiator, spokesman and lobbyist which requires them to do a lot of things “often with short notice.”

Mussallem pulled out one of the big talking points he has used throughout the election campaign: that since he doesn’t have a day job like his two rivals, being mayor is his “first, an if necessary, my only focus.” He went on the attack saying that Morhart is not capable of being a good mayor without first city on council.

Mussallem appears to suggest that bringing new ideas are dangerous if not grounded in experience.

“If someone says if they’re an outside-the-box thinker, ask them what it contains first. Ask them if they have that knowledge before they risk our wellbeing,” says Mussallem.

After attacking Morhart’s lack of council experience, Mussallem moved on to why Kathy Bedard shouldn’t be mayor because she lives with her husband in Port Edward.

Mussallem then moved on to criticize his opponents for having political party membership. Both Bedard and Morhart have had memberships in the Liberal Party of Canada, although Morhart’s has expired.

Mussallem says that by joining a political party his rivals were declaring their “biases” which he warns will hurt their ability to work with other levels of government that are not being run by the Liberal Party.

Mussallem says that one of important issues coming up in the next council term such as picking a new city manager, which he says will be a very important decision for the city’s future.

ll the reasons why she shouldn’t be mayor, Kathy Bedard got her turn to speak and immediately lashed back at Mussallem’s assertion that she would be doing the work of the mayor “off the side of my desk,” because she has a job as executive director of the Hecate Strait Employment Development Society.

Bedard says that if she’s mayor, “it won’t be a one woman show,” promising to get

council working as a team to address issues in the city even if they don’t always agree.

During his speech, Mussallem dared the audience to look for any mayor in BC that wasn’t a resident of the community they represented. Bedard took him up on it.

“The mayor of the fastest growing city in British Columbia is Diane Watts, and she is the mayor of Surrey. And she resides in Cloverdale,” says Bedard.

Mussallem objected to this, saying – correctly – that Cloverdale is still technically part of Surrey.

Bedard dismisses Mussallem’s assertion that she is not one of Prince Rupert’s own, saying she is dedicated to Prince Rupert.

She then moved to address Mussallem’s criticism of her Liberal Party membership, saying that she only joined a political party to help support her friend, and former mayor, Herb Pond who was running for MLA.

After attempting to refute Mussallem’s criticisms she turned on the incumbent candidate himself.

“I cannot believe that the incumbent could be so disrespectful to the members of the council and this community who put their names up for election. Saying that councillors don’t know enough about the operations because they only attend two Monday meetings a month is untrue and underestimates the power of a team.”

There are lots of issues that council has to work on in the next term, says Bedard. She says she “would like” to have decreased taxes in Prince Rupert but warns that reducing taxes won’t just affect services, it will affect the town’s quality of life, tax exemptions for community organizations, and a reduction in grants from the City.

Bedard says that the city needs a plan to attract small business, industry and maybe even manufacturing. Not only that, Prince Rupert needs to start bringing more young professionals to town.

Harbour Theatre takes on mayor’s raceBy Martina Perry

The Northern View

Right in time for election season, Harbour Theater presents “So You Wanna Be Mayor?” on Friday, November 18 at 8 p.m. at the Tom Rooney Playhouse, where mock-candidates will run for the position of mayor, competing for all of the glory and none of the responsibility.

Lyle McNish, Rudy Kelly, George Baker, Ryan Carroll, Ted Keehn, Carolina

De Ryk, Hondo Arendt, Treena Decker, and Joe Gaber will all taking on new personas as fake candidates in the run, discussing the important changes they intend to make.

“People can expect promises that will never be kept because these candidates have no intentions of keeping them after the show ends,” said Chris Armstrong from Harbour Theater Society, who is the organizer of this event.

“In that way I guess they’re a lot more

honest than real politicians because as we all know they make lots of promises and keep very little of them. So this is actually a more honest event than an election.”.

Tickets for Friday’s performance are available at the door. Members are free.

“When you buy a ticket, you get a membership which has a whole bunch of benefits, with the biggest benefit of all being that warm-fuzzy feeling that you get when you know you’re supporting Community Theater,” said Armstrong

NONSENSE! I represented the City as Acting Mayor, on many

occasions, and spoke about education, social, policing, investment opportunities and the bene ts the City could provide. They did not ask where I lived or what I did for a living – The City of Prince Rupert and our Gateway to the Rest of Canada was the ultimate importance!

Yes, I am a renter in Prince Rupert and pay $30,000 in property taxes for Hecate Strait’s location

Yes, I have 15 years of Prince Rupert Council experience.

Yes, I am a Prince Rupert business woman.

Yes, Ron and I have lived in Prince Rupert and we could do so again, but.....

Diane Watts, the Mayor of Surrey, lives in Cloverdale. As part of the regional district, she is the leader of the fastest growing City in BC.

The Mayor of Toronto lives outside the City as well. It doesn’t stop him from serving the City!

For Fresh Ideas, Optimism, a respected Council Team

VOTE BEDARD for Mayor!

By Alan S. HaleThe Northern View

#1: WHAT SHOULD BE DONE ABOUT CITY WEST?Every candidate said that the

City should keep CityWest as a publicly owned company.

#2: WHAT ARE YOUR IDEAS FOR MOVING THE CITY FORWARD

ECONOMICALLY?–Mayoral Candidates –

Jack Mussallem says that if re-elected mayor he would pursue money from the Fisheries Legacy Trust to build a new dock for use by yachts to attract them – and their wealthy owners – to the city, and to provide more moorage for the winter months. Mussallem says that he plans to keep Prince Rupert residents informed about the new employment opportunities being created in the city.

Corinna Morhart suggests that the council should be making better use of the city’s economic development office, which she says has been working hard to attract new businesses. The city needs to identify what exactly investors are looking for in order to be able to attract them and their money to Prince Rupert.

Kathy Bedard says that the city should get an idea of what the public’s expectations and goals are for economic development order to inform their future decision making on what to allow to set up in Rupert, and where.

– Council Candidates – Anna Ashley says one of the big

goals to achieve in order to move the town forward economically is to get Watson Island back on the tax roll. She also wants the city to promote value-added manufacturing jobs to be set up in Prince Rupert instead of always sending over raw products to Asia, and to use incentives to encourage new start-ups in the community. She is also calling for a city plan for attracting and keeping new businesses to the community. She says that there are many tools for the city to use to help determine what its “business vitality” is.

Judy Carlick-Pearson says that the council should work to make Prince Rupert a more appealing place to raise a family.

Gina Garon says that the city needs to do more to promote itself to those it wants to come here. She points out that CN is already doing this for Prince Rupert in China with great success.

Christo Holmes says the key to attracting new businesses to town is infrastructure.

Nelson Kinney says the city needs to explore more avenues of promoting itself as a player in world trade, such as working with transportation companies or other

levels of government. Kinney also put himself firmly in the pro-Walmart camp by saying that he would “love to see big box stores come to Prince Rupert.”

James Kirk says that there should be a increased emphasis on trades training for young people in the community in order to keep them in the city to work the industrial jobs here.

Conrad Lewis says that the city should be taking steps to make sure that the community directly benefits from the industries that it is trying to attract here. He believes that companies should be giving back more to the community.

Gabe McLean says that any city only exists on the strength of its industry. If elected he says he would advocate that the city work, both by itself and in partnership with existing industries, develops the plans and infrastructure to attract new businesses.

Jennifer Rice says that the city should work with the Chamber of Commerce and Community Futures to help existing businesses and to attract new ones. She also thinks that Prince Rupert should focus on its strengths like the Lester Centre Performing Arts Centre. She suggests starting a theatre design program there to attract theatre students and teachers to the community. Rice also put forward the idea that CityWest could start its own telecommunication training centre, and that hotels could start a hotel management training program.

Joy Thorkelson says if re-elected she would whatever she could to resolve the on-going Watson Island court case in the City’s favour, but admits that is largely outside council’s control. Once the case is resolved though she says she supports selling Watson Island for immediate economic development. Thorkelson also wants to see First Nations businesses encouraged by the city and to have aspirations of regional expansion.

Rob Vallee says that he knows that for a lot of people big box stores are a dirty word, but says he believes that bringing them to Prince Rupert will do more good than harm.

#3: HOW WILL YOU PRIORITIZE AND FUND ALL

THE INFRASTRUCTURE WORK THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE IN PRINCE RUPERT?

–Mayoral Candidates – Jack Mussallem says that to start

he would push for more monitoring of the city’s assets to make sure service-levels are adequate and to check for inefficiencies. He says he will lobby other levels of government for grant money to help pay for infrastructure work, push for an decrease in taxes and to sell city property. He says he will

also push to recover outstanding taxes from Watson Island and to cut back city amenities down to a five or six day week except for emergency services.

Corinna Morhart says its time to get the public to tell the city “what they’re willing to pay for and what their priorities are”. After they know what the priorities are, she says the city should look to eliminate inefficiencies and find alternative ways to pay for infrastructure work.

Kathy Bedard says that the message from the public during the city’s investigation into quality of life in Prince Rupert was that people want to keep their services. People want the services that make them feel safe living here and those that make it a comfortable place to live when you’re not working.

“What I think it is, is that we as a council have to look at how, as the community grows, we are going to set the pace of spending when we get to the point of having too much money. Instead of looking at the past and thinking about how taxes are affecting us now, we need to look to the future,” says Bedard.

– Council Candidates – Anna Ashley says that she

recognizes the fact that property owners do pay high taxes in Prince Rupert, but the trade off is having services here that other towns lack. To deal with the infrastructure issue, Ashley wants the city to open up the city’s budget process to more public input so that the city can prioritize what it should spend money on. But she says that dealing with the infrastructure deficit will take hard work.

Judy Carlick-Pearson says she feels that Prince Rupert is caught in a catch-22 where no one really wants to raise taxes so that the community is an appealing place to live, but it won’t be appealing without proper infrastructure. She says its time for the community as a whole and for council to start thinking outside the box for different solutions before falling back on raising taxes.

Gina Garon says that like many communities in BC, Prince Rupert has had costs being placed on it by other levels of government in the form of extra highways staff for the RCMP, or extra money for transit paid to the province.

Christo Holmes says he believes that Prince Rupert is still on the cusp of a boom and that it will still take time to start getting money form new industries and that as the town prospers property values

will increase which will mean more money from taxes. He believes that the best people to prioritize what infrastructure projects should be worked on first are the city staff.

Nelson Kinney says to start council and its senior city management need to start working as a team in order to deal with the infrastructure issue. He says that the city needs to attract business and deal with its debt while committing to no increase in taxes.

James Kirk says that he’s frustrated that over the past few decades the city has lets its infrastructure get to the point where it needs millions of dollars worth of work done on it. Kirk says that taxpayers in Rupert can’t afford more tax increases, so to help pay for it, the city should look for grant money like Port Edward did in order to build new water pipes.

Conrad Lewis says that if the city tries its best to keep taxes down but finds that it can’t do so, “so be it.” Lewis says its unfair that small business and homeowners are being asked to take the brunt of the city’s expenses, while “crown corporations avoid paying their fair share.”

Gabe McLean says that the infrastructure problem is really

a budgeting problem. He says its time for the city to make sure that all of its assets are profitable, or at the very least not losing it any money. And it something is costing more money than its bringing in, the city should “get creative” with ways to make it profitable.

Jennifer Rice says that to come up with a concrete and implementable answer to the infrastructure problem, the council as a whole will need to sit down with city staff to look over all the available information before making a decision. That said, she does have a few ideas that she says she will bring to the table.

Joy Thorkelson says the problem is that the city has more infrastructure that it has the money to maintain. The solutions to this problem are for the other levels of government to put more tax money into municipalities, attracting a new Canpotex-sized project would fill the city’s coffers.

Rob Vallee says he doesn’t want to raise taxes, but some infrastructure problems might not be able to wait until an alternative source of funding to be found. But that said, the best way of raising more money is to bring new taxable industries to town.

Deal close to keep RCMPBy Jeff Nagel

Black Press

A deal is getting closer between B.C. and Ottawa to keep the RCMP for most cities.

Langley City Mayor Peter Fassbender, the municipal observer in the negotiations, said the tone of federal representatives has become more cooperative, and “significant” progress was made this week.

“Nobody is threatening anybody at the moment,” he said after returning from negotiations in Ottawa. “I am more optimistic than I’ve been that we’ll get there.”

Federal officials told B.C. in September to sign a new 20-year RCMP contract by the end of November or else they’d begin withdrawing the Mounties in 2014. That ultimatum prompted B.C. to start work on a “plan B” to map out what would it would take to launch a provincial force.

Fassbender said a final deal isn’t likely by the end-of-month

deadline, but a framework may be ready and he doubts Ottawa would act on its threat if that’s the case.

B.C. Public Safety Minister Shirley Bond said Thursday she is encouraged that some less contentious items have been dealt with.

Rampage fall to the River KingsBy Shaun Thomas

The Northern View

The Prince Rupert Rampage traveled to Terrace this weekend to take on the Terrace River Kings, and saw their two-game winning streak come to an end.

When the final buzzer sounded, the River Kings took a 4-2 victory to further the distance between the two teams in the CIHL western conference. Details on the game from the official game sheet were not available as of press time.

With the win the River Kings sit second in the conference with eight points, while the Kitimat Ice Demons continue to hold on to first place with a total of 14 points after weekend wins over the

Quesnel Kangaroos and the Omenica Ice. The Rampage are on the road again this weekend

for a Saturday night game against the Smithers Steelheads and a Sunday game against Hazelton.
