Candidates set for November’s municipal elections across the North Coast

By Shaun Thomas The Northern View

The deadline for people to file papers for this November’s municipal election passed at four p.m. on October 14, and in Prince Rupert residents will go to the polls in each of the different races.

According to Chief Electoral Officer Robert Grodecki, incumbent mayor Jack Mussallem will be challenged by incumbent councillor Kathy Bedard and former Federal Liberal candidate Corinna Morhart for the top position at the City of Prince Rupert.

While councillor Sheila Gordon - Payne will not be seeking re-election, incumbent councillors Nelson Kinney, Gina Garon, Anna Ashley and Joy Thorkelson will be challenged by Christopher Holmes, Farley Stewart, James Kirk, Conrad Lewis, Judy Carlick-Pearson, Rob Vallee, Jennifer Rice

and Gabe Mclean, bringing the total number of candidate for the six council seats to 12.

On the school board side of things, incumbents Terri-Lynne Huddlestone, Bart Kuntz, Tina Last, Louisa Sanchez, Leonard Alexcee and Russell Wiens are being joined by Barb Gruber, Marty Bowles, Brian Johnson and Tanya Boudier in seeking election to one of the six trustee positions with the Prince Rupert School District. Janet Beil is the only candidate to file for the rural trustee position.

In Prince Rupert, the Chamber of Commerce will be hosting an all-candidates forum on November 8 at 7 p.m. at the Lester Centre.

In Port Edward, incumbent mayor Dave MacDonald and incumbent councillors Dan Franzen, Murray Kristoff and Knut Bjourndal have filed their election paper work, along with former councillor Christine

Mackenzie. Given that Port Edward council is made up of four councillors and a mayor, the five people who submitted their papers are likely to be acclaimed for the coming term.

Meanwhile Masset will have a new mayor in the form of Andrew Merilees, as incumbent Barry Pages filed his papers for council along with Karen Church, Lisa Edwards, Ian Edwards, Natanis Hageman, Bret Johnston and Jason Thompson.

In Queen Charlotte, mayor Carol Kulesha was acclaimed while Evelyn Almassy, Ellen Crenston, Greg Martin, Lesley Johnson, Kim Claggett, Kris Olsen and James Reid will be running for council.

In Port Clements, Wally Cheer and Judy Hadley will be seeking the mayor’s chair, while Kazamir Falconbridge, Matt Gaspar, Ian Gould, Betty Stewart and Urs Thomas will face off for a seat on council.

PRINCE RUPERT - DROP-IN

By Alan S. Hale The Northern View

City council has decided to scrap

a referendum to ask Rupertites if they wanted the City to borrow money in order to replace either the RCMP station, the fire hall or

both.For the City to be able to borrow

the several million dollars that it would take to replace any of those

buildings they need to have a borrowing bylaw approved by voters. Initially, the council decided to use the upcoming municipal election to do the referendum vote thereby saving money that would be required to organize a separate vote. That idea was scrapped by the council on Tuesday night because they believed that there was not enough time for them to properly inform voters about the projects and their necessity before the vote happens.

“After continuing to consider the referendum questions that were put forward and weighing what the cost to do this with this election or at another time, I simply feel that we have not come as far as we should with a question like this before we take it to the community,” said councillor Sheila Gordon-Payne.

Councillor Gordon-Payne worried that if voters are not properly informed they may make a decision that is not in the community’s best interest, such as simply voting against borrowing the money because of the building’s large price tags or voting just to build the cheapest one, which might not be the building that is most urgently needed by the community.

Her concerns were echoed by the other councillors.

“I do agree that we do not at this time have the information we need to go out and ask the public to vote on this. We don’t even have the information we need to go out and have public information sessions...And if we’re really looking to get the best bang for our buck and making sure the community is fully informed about this we need to make

sure that we do our homework before we go to the public,” said Councillor Anna Ashley.

The original plan was to have three potential borrowing bylaws for voters to approve on election day. One was to borrow $12.3-million for a new headquarters for the RCMP. The second was to borrow $9.3-million to build a new fire hall. And the third was to borrow $21 .7 -mi l l ion to build a joint building that could be used by both organizations. All of these options would require an increase in the city’s property taxes that could range from 5.4 to 12.5 per cent.

The council also said part of their decision to scrap the referendum for now is that many other options other than just borrowing money for the new buildings exist. Other options that can be looked into are public-private partnerships, alternative funding sources such as grants, and some “regional options” were also talked about.

Inspector Bob Killbery from the Prince Rupert RCMP says that he’s disappointed that the council has opted to delay addressing the issue, but says that he understands and appreciates their reasons for doing so.

“I can see where they’re coming from, but I’m disappointed that it’s not moving as quickly as we would like, but I also understand that there’s a process that needs to be followed if there is to be any chance of success in getting a referendum passed. They need as much information as possible and the public needs as much information as possible,” said Killbery.

Fire Chief Dave McKenzie declined to comment on the council’s decision until he gets more information on how things

are to proceed.What’s up in the air at this

point is when progress on this will happen. Council was sure to point out that it wants to put the issue before voters eventually, but not during this upcoming election. City administration believes that it will not be able to piggyback the vote on the 2013 provincial election, so it appears that the City will have

to pay to organize and staff a separate vote whenever they decide to have it.

The next council will most likely have to come up with a new RCMP building within the next two years though.

The City is obligated, under its policing agreement, to provide adequate facilities for the RCMP to work out of. If the police feel that the city is not

providing that they can send an annual letter to the provincial government saying so. After three years of giving the province notice the RCMP is allowed to construct its own building without the input of the municipality or the local RCMP detachment. The city would then be obligated to foot the bill for the new building.

One of those letters has already been sent, giving the City with only two years left to address the problem.

“If we do all vote in favour of this motion [to postpone the referendum] our inspector from the RCMP will naturally give us a second letter and the following year give us the third letter and pretty soon they’ll build their own building and we’ll just pay for it. That will happen, and I think our intent is to not allow that to happen but to proceed in a planned way,” said councillor Gordon-Payne.

Inspector Killbery points out that sending the violation of agreement is done by RCMP headquarters.

The court case involving the City of Prince Rupert, the Lax Kw’alaams First Nation and the Gitxaala First Nation of Kitkatla, the last two of whom are claiming Aboriginal title on Watson Island, took another turn this week as Lax Kw’alaams applied to Court to oblige a hereditary chief to be made available as a second representative to be examined for discovery.

According to papers filed in the Supreme Court of BC on October 12, Kitkatla Chief Elmer Moody was questioned about when Kitkatla lived on Watson Island, what the band used the island for, if Aboriginal uses have been practiced on the land in the last 50 years, if Aboriginal title was practiced while the pulp mill was operational and what the traditional name of Watson Island is. According to the documents, Chief Moody said he did not know the answers as only the Blackfish Clan used and claims ownership of Watson Island and he is not a member of that clan, but that the answers rest on the oral history of Blackfish hereditary chief Clarence Innes.

After requesting a chance to question Mr. Innes, a letter was sent to Lax Kw’alaams counsel indicating that “oral history does not easily fit into the discovery process” and that the Gitxaala refused to produce Mr. Innes for questioning.

Now Lax Kw’alaams counsel has filed an application to the court to order Mr. Innes be available for questioning on or before November 15 and that any of the 29 outstanding questions from a June 16 discovery session be answered by November 15 as well.

“During his testimony at the Examination of Discovery, Chief Moody stated that the basis of the Plaintiff’s claim to

Watson Island rests on the oral history of Clarence Innes, who is hereditary

chief of the Blackfish Clan, and his clan...The Plaintiffs now contend that they do not have to produce a witness who can attest to the oral history evidence,” read the document.

“As a result, the defendants would be left without any evidence at all on Discovery supporting the asserted claim of title and the assertions of irreparable harm.”

Lax Kw’alaams contends that getting the information from the oral history is “essential to allow

Lax Kw’alaams to prepare for trial” and that there is no rule in BC precluding oral history from the examination process. It says they have requested the information before, but are now turning to the courts to move the process forward.

“Chief Moody has failed to answer any of the requests for information. The Defendant fears that without an order of this court the information will not be forthcoming in a timely manner,” read the document.

The documents have been filed with the Court but no Court ruling has accepted the allegations, or the arguments, nor has the application been considered by the Court.

At the beginning of each school year, the Superintendent must send a report to the Board of Education on the district’s class sizes and composition of the school year thus far, and at last week’s monthly

school board meeting Superintendent Lynn Hauptman presented the report to fellow board members.

So far in the 2011 school year enrollment numbers are down, but class size averages are below provincial standards.

“We are down 100 from 2010, which is a little bit less than we had originally

anticipated,” said Hauptman“We ended up having a few more

enrollments over the summer.”The total head count of the 2011

school year thus far is 2,240, which is 121 students less than last year. However, eight cross-enrolled students, such as those picking up courses from distance learning, etc., must be subtracted from the total head count, bringing the total to 2,232.

Districts are funded on their Full Time Equivalent students. School District 52 will be funded for 2,212.25 students this year, a difference of 54.62 students in 2010.

In terms of class sizes, School District 52 has stayed under the provincial requirements. This year in kindergarten classes there is an average of 17.9 students, which is just under the 19-student requirement. In primary classes (grades one to three) the district average is 20.4 students, once again just under the 21-student requirement. Intermediate classrooms in the district were well below the provincial requirement of 28-students; with the average intermediate classroom in the district have 22.1 students. Finally, secondary student classrooms have an average

of 24.4-students in the district, with the provincial requirement being 30-students.

“The board really wanted to pay close attention to [the i n t e r m e d i a t e level] in ensuring that, especially with the new middle school, we looked at having smaller classes. We have a c c o m p l i s h e d that this year with our intermediate students,” said Hauptman.

Even though the district is below provincial r e q u i r e m e n t s , there still are a number of classrooms with more than 30 students learning in them. The district must inform the Board of Education of these classrooms, and why there are over 30 students.

In School District 52 this school year there are five classrooms with over 30 students, previously being six before a grade nine-math essentials was split into two smaller

classes. These classrooms include a chemistry class and two secondary English courses. The only alternative to not having more than 30 students would be to exclude one or more students. There is also a musical theatre class for secondary students that’s subject content is effectively conveyed in a group exceeding 30 students, and two band courses, which are also

considered to be a course that is conductive to having more than 30 students.

According to the report, all of these courses with over 30 students have been consented by the instructors.

Something not mentioned, and brought up by President of the Prince Rupert Teachers’ Union, Joanna Larson, was the lack of information regarding the number of classes with more than three students working on an Individual Education Plan. Larson says that approximately 80 per cent of their classes with more than three students working on individual education plans and that information should be known.

Hauptman mentioned that that particular piece of information was not necessary in the report.

Council votes to tear down unsafe buildingBy Alan S. Hale The Northern View

Prince Rupert council has decided to demolish a derelict building located on the edge of the city’s downtown core.

The blue duplex at 1001-1003 Third Avenue has severe structural problems and parts of it are open to the elements. The owner had recently asked the council for more time so it could be repaired and turned into a business. The council decided to wait and have a building inspector get inside and take a look before making a decision. At the council meeting last Tuesday, the building inspector’s report said that the building was unsafe to occupy.

The owner of the building, Chris Proctor, bought the property with the intention of fixing it up and turning it into a bed and breakfast. But Proctor found that the building needed much more work than he had funds for. From the outside the building looks bad enough. The building’s concrete patio has crumbled away from the sidewalk, leaving a space between the building and the street. Much of the wood on the outside has become mouldy and rotten, and much of the debris in front of the back entrance seems to have fallen off the building itself.

But when the city’s building inspector finally got inside the building – not a straightforward thing to do considering that Proctor didn’t have a key to the building – they found that the inside of the building has basically been destroyed. Council knew one of the building’s problems is that parts of it have been open to Rupert’s constant rain, and it shows.

Photos taken by the building inspector and presented to council show a residence that has looks like it has rotted from the inside out. The floor is covered with debris, the rafters in the ceiling are clearly visible as it has disintegrated over time. A number of items appear to be either be rusting or eaten through by mould and rot. Property like pots, dishes and a partially full bottle of dish soap from whoever lived there last, remain where they were left. The inspector apparently left the building very quickly for their own safety because the

structural integrity of the building was questionable.

O r i g i n a l l y , Proctor estimated that to repair the building would probably require anywhere from $10,000 to $15,000 and had asked the council for time to do the repairs “as funds come in”. That open-ended time line was met with suspicion from council members who wanted a more concrete time line for the repairs. Since that meeting though, Proctor has sent a letter to the city saying that he does not have the means to repair the building and that he no longer has any objection to it being demolished.

Making the decision for the City even simpler is that they now have control over the building after it came up in the tax to recoup $8,100 worth of unpaid taxes. The building went up for sale on September 26 but since there was no bids for it, the building defaulted to the municipality.

Now that council has decided to tear it down, the cost of the demolition will be charged to Proctor who has one year to pay that and the backed taxes if he wants the property.

If the demolition costs are not paid back they will have to be borne by the City and added to the outstanding taxes on the property.

OPINIONNorth Coast

Election season on the North Coast is now in full swing with the closing of the nomination period on October 14.

Now as per usual during election season, I’m not going to show favoritism or state a preference to any one candidate or another, nor will the paper provide any more or less coverage to one candidate over another. All candidates will be given equal opportunity on the editorial side of things, though obviously the amount of advertising is up to the candidates themselves.

But one thing for certain here in Prince Rupert is that there will be, at the very least, two new faces on council for the coming term. Kathy Bedard and Jack Mussallem are both running for mayor, along with Corinna Morhart, which means that either one or both of them will be absent from the next municipal government.

The other opening on council came when Sheila Gordon-Payne, who has served two terms on council, chose not to seek re-election. While I haven’t always agreed with Sheila’s viewpoints in the council chambers, more often than not I’ve found her points, her questions and her stances well thought out and valid to the topic at hand. After six years of helping to run the City, I’d certainly like to acknowledge her time and efforts in representing the residents of Prince Rupert. As I said last week, being a municipal leader is a thankless job, so now seems like the opportune time to say thanks Sheila.

Regardless of what the next council looks like in terms of names and composition, I’d reallysuggest one of the first items to look at is getting together a referendum on borrowing

for a new emergency building, as it is something that will only get more dire with age and is certainly a time sensitive issue. The borrowing bylaw prepared by staff this time around looked pretty good and the numbers about right, the onus now will be on the new council to provide the taxpayers the information needed to make an informed decision and get

it out there as broadly as possible. Things like what the building(s) will look like, where it/

they will be located and the pros and the cons are all good places to start. One thing is for sure, anyone who is looking to get on council will be jumping in pretty quick and pretty deep in the year and years ahead.

MY VIEW…

A priority for the new council...

By Bruce WishartThe Northern View

There are two lovely little scratch-built models of sternwheelers in the Museum of Northern BC, one of the Port Simpson, and the other the Caledonia. They represent an exciting part of Prince Rupert history.

The first exploratory steamboat trips on the Skeena were by the Union and then the Mumford in 1864-1866, but the sternwheeler era really started with the 1891 launch of the Hudson’s Bay Company’s first Caledonia. Robert Cunningham at Port Essington then brought in the Monte Cristo and thus launched a brief but intense period of competition with the HBC.

The Company added the Strathcona, but when Cunningham commissioned the Hazelton the HBC countered with the Mount Royal. The competition grew out of hand. In the race to be the first up the Skeena in the spring of 1904 Captain John Bonser on the Hazelton had a lead start, but Captain S.B.

Johnson on the Mount Royal caught up while the Hazelton was wooding-up. They ran neck-and-neck, the Mount Royal gradually taking the lead until Bonser rammed her with the Hazelton. Johnson lost control and the Mount Royal was carried downstream. Johnson abandoned the wheelhouse, grabbed a rifle, and fired after the Hazelton as the Cunningham boat gave a blast of the whistle and waggled her stern. A subsequent inquiry found both captains at fault.

The incident did, however, make both parties come to their senses concerning the rivalry, and the HBC soon came to an arrangement with Cunningham to remove his boats from the river. Bonser, left without a vessel, brought in the tiny and ineffective Pheasant, which was followed by the Northwest.

July 1907 brought one of the most notorious marine disasters in BC history. Johnson was steaming down from Hazelton with the Mount Royal when the wind tossed the vessel against Ringbolt Island and then

wedged her across Kitselas Canyon. The passengers were able to step ashore, but Johnson and ten crew went back aboard to save the vessel. In trying to winch the Mount Royal back over Ringbolt Island the king post of the capstan drove through the hull. The Mount Royal buckled, flipped and broke apart. Six died in the wreck. One of the more notable aspects of the story came when future Terrace founder George Little rowed to the inverted hull and chopped through to rescue engineer Ben Maddigan.

The following year brought the second and final surge of steamboat traffic on the Skeena. Grand Trunk Pacific Railway contractors Foley, Welch and Stewart were driving line east from Prince Rupert. They introduced the Distributor, Skeena and Omineca, in 1908. The Omineca was wrecked at Essington before the end of the year, but a second of the same name, as well as the new Operator and Conveyor, were added in 1909.

The last sternwheeler was the Inlander, launched in 1910 by a local consortium, but

she ran for just two seasons. In August 1912 the Grand Trunk Pacific was completed as far as head of navigation at Hazelton and the steamers were finished. On September 13, 1912, the Inlander became the last sternwheeler to steam downriver from Hazelton.

City council sends letter after missing inquiryBy Alan S. Hale

The Northern View

City council sent a short letter last week to the public inquiry that is investigating the disappearances of women in BC and along the Highway of Tears.

This is the only official interaction the City has had with the inquiry because no one from council showed up for the hearing when it was in Prince Rupert several weeks ago.

“We have sent a letter with some suggestions on how the matter could be brought to the forefront,” said mayor Jack Mussallem.

The letter itself is very small, only two paragraphs long:

“On behalf of Prince Rupert City Council, we urge the Provincial Government to put more resources into providing education and awareness to assist women in avoiding situations where they become victims of violence. By making all women more aware of the consequences of taking part in risky activities such as hitchhiking and leaving drinks unattended in a bar, will help reduce the amount of women who go missing or end up in a violent situation,” reads the letter.

“One in three women will experience violence in her lifetime. Those stats can change; the Provincial Government need to provide resources to properly serve the increasing number of women who seek the help of and are using anti-violence programs.”

The commission in charge of the investigation

into the missing women – which is headed by former Attorney General, Wally Oppal – kicked off its hearings in Prince Rupert. Representatives from many different community organizations came to give their input on how best to deal with the problem which has plagued the Highway 16 and Vancouver’s downtown east side for decades.

No one from the city council came to the Prince Rupert hearing, something that was not lost of Commissioner Oppal during his visit.

“What I am cornered to see that your the mayor is not here. It’s their community, it’s important for them to be here to help represent it,” said Oppal,

after the hearing had ended. Mayor Jack Mussallem says he was out of town

when the hearings were taking place.

“I was out of town on City business, I was aware that there was a meeting,” said Mussallem.

Other members on the council weren’t sure an invitation to attend was sent to the City. During the commission hearing one of the organizers for

the hearings admitted that she may not have advertised the fact they were coming very well.

It appears that council has determined that city staff may have dropped the ball in this case.

“It’s not very often that the city misses an opportunity like this, but in this case it was missed inadvertently by the staff,” said mayor Mussallem.

“But there is an opportunity to send letters and we’ve done that.”

Prince Rupert scored 68 per cent on an evaluation of the city’s appearance conducted by judges with the Communities in Bloom program.

The city was judged on its tidiness, environmental action, heritage conservation, urban forestry, landscaping and floral displays. On the program’s scoring system, this gives Prince Rupert three out of five “blooms,” the same score the town received when it last participated in 2008. Rupert fell just four per cent short of getting four blooms, which was the score organizers were hoping for.

Communities in Blooms is a community beautification initiative based on similar and highly successful programs found in Europe. Essentially, the community puts on its best face and the program sends two judges to evaluate the community and point out areas for improvement. The initiative has been around since 1995 but it wasn’t until 2008 that a group of residents (full disclosure: including our editor Shaun Thomas) brought the idea of participating to city council which endorsed the plan. Three years later, the city participated again in July.

Treena Decker, who represented all the volunteers who organized this year’s Communities in Bloom

effort, reported the judges findings to council at their meeting last Tuesday and relayed recommendations for improvements.

Prince Rupert’s general tidiness was rated 114 out of 150. The judges were impressed by Rupertites’ concern for tidiness which is evident by the city’s general lack of litter even in industrial areas. This is credited to the daily pickup of garbage by the city but also to community initiatives such as the community clean-ups that many residents participate in.

Judges did notice, however, that the City needs to continue to enforce its unsightly premises bylaws to force home and building owners to improve the appearance of their properties. They also recommend that weeds growing around the edges of buildings and on the sidewalk need to be cleared out. They also liked the Paint Prince Rupert initiative and encouraged the city to continue supporting it.

In environmental action, Prince Rupert scored a 87 out of 125. Judges where happy to see that the municipality’s vehicles now include more fuel efficient models, that the fish hatchery is in a partnership with schools, that the buses now use natural gas, the city’s purchase of a electric zamboni and by the work being done at the Prince Rupert Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre.

Because of the poor soil quality here, the City is forced to buy

from outside of town for various uses. The judges recommended that a composting program be started to make soil. This would be more environmentally friendly and it would save the City money. The City has already acted upon a recommendation that they start trash pick up at garbage cans on the Mount Hays road that were being emptied by volunteers from the fish hatchery. Judges also pointed out that the City has a water system that is much larger than what is required by the population and that the port’s program to provide electricity to docked ships in order to cut 4,000 tonnes a year in carbon emissions needs to be better publicized.

When it came Heritage Conservation, the judges were impressed and gave the city a rating of 123 out of 150. Judges were particularly impressed by the work done to preserve Pillsbury House and recommended that the City should keep it up. They thought that the 100-year anniversary was an excellent opportunity for building civic pride and recognizing the City’s heritage as is centennial quilt on display at the performing arts. They also liked the small touches, like having vintage photos in the pool at the civic centre.

The biggest recommendation from the judges was that more needs to be done to showcase the First Nations heritage of Prince

Rupert, and that the City should continue working towards the opening of a proposed projects like Tsimshian Cultural Pavilion and the Metlakatla Trail.

Rupert got a fairly low evaluation was for urban forestry: 95 out of 175. While the judges realize that the city is surrounded by forest, it needs to do more to manage the greenery inside the City itself. Judges liked the new addition of street trees in the downtown core, and also the work of the Prince Rupert Trail Committee which helps maintain walking trails.

Judges recommend that street plants be chosen in order to bring a new visual interest as season change. They also point out that the trees that have been planted need to be better taken care of with regular pruning. They also felt that the community should be showcasing trees and plants that are indigenous to the area and not planting ornamental trees like cherry.

The score for Prince Rupert’s landscaping was also rather low, scoring 124 out of 200. Judges liked the landscaping at Pillsbury House, but had very little else positive to say in the report. They point out that many residents and businesses have let their plant beds and flower boxes go unmaintained and have become grown-over. The judges would like those who own the boxes to clean them up to prevent the area from “looking

abandoned and rundown.” They would also like to see rocks from the local quarry and bark from local log operations used in the landscaping as well as indigenous ferns and reeds incorporated into existing plant beds. The judges also suggested that they look into creating their own gardens to be used as an outdoor classroom.

In floral displays the judges gave Rupert a 117.75 out of 175. The judges were impressed with the pockets of floral displays located in areas around the city, saying it added pleasant “splashes of colour” to the community. The judges also liked Annunciation School’s grade 6 project to beautify their schoolyard, as well as the hanging baskets some businesses have on display.

They suggest that Rupert look into starting an “Ethnobotony garden,” where indigenous plants could be grown with some interpretative signs telling people how the plants were used in First Nations culture.

The City’s total investment for all these suggestions was a mere $750. Councillors at the meeting were so impressed with the results that they asked Decker if the volunteers would be willing to do it again next year. Decker said she thought they would be, the idea was also put out that the money for it should be included as an expense in the city’s parks budget.

Dawn has been in the beauty industry for over 30 years now, previously working as a cosmetician and owning an at home business in southern BC. Dawn has performed a variety of different beauty-related tasks in the past including make overs, beauty events, bridal parties, and graduation promotions.

“I’m well versed in most aspects of the beauty industry,” she said, adding that she has been a licensed aesthetician and certified electrologist practicing electrolysis since 2000.

Dawn’s new at-home business, Dawning a New Look, will offer an arrangement of beauty treatments that are reasonably priced and all performed by Dawn.

“I’ve always been a one-woman show. I like being personable,” stated Dawn.

“I like the idea of being at home because it’s private, it’s confidential, it’s one on one, you can have male clientele without them being intimidated by the spa atmosphere.”

Potential clientele can indulge in beautifying themselves by receiving eyelash tinting and shaping, manicures and pedicures (pedicures being Dawn’s specialty), body waxing without strips, electrolysis - a permanent hair removal technique that can be done anywhere on the body - and custom facials.

Something Dawn wants her potential customers to know is that Dawning a New Look is a clean and fully qualified home business.

“I believe totally, one hundred percent in sterilization and sanitation.”

Dawn Hernandez brings over 30 years of beauty industry experience to Dawning a New Look.

SPCA says too many pets missing IDsBy Martina Perry

The Northern View

It’s all too common in Prince Rupert; people’s pets wondering off away from home and never returning.

A sad fact that Prince Rupert’s BCSPCA branch manager, Lindsey Vincent, says people can avoid having happen to them.

According the Vincent there are 242 stray animals in the community at the moment, with the City impounding around 42 of these. Just over half of incoming dogs picked up by the City are returned home, with the remaining unredeemed animals becoming property of the BC SPCA.

In these cases, the SPCA

has to spay or neuter the unredeemed animals and find a new home for them, many of which are transferred out of town.

“We just don’t have the adoption numbers locally,” explained Vincent.

Sadly, only 21 per cent of all stray cats and dogs that have no ID are returned home. 79 per cent of strays are not being returned to their homes, and become property of the BCSPCA. A majority of the stray animals are cats, which Vincent says is because of the lack of spayed and neutered cats in the community.

“It’s really important that everyone with a pet gets them some sort of identification on their animals, whether it be a

cat or dog,” said Vincent.Having identification for

pets is not only a beneficial way to ensure missing pets find their way home, it also can prevent owners from a fine, as in Prince Rupert there is the Dog Control Bylaw that states “Every person within the City who owns or keeps a dog shall obtain a valid license, by applying in writing to the Bylaw Officer on the form provided and paying the prescribed fee set out”. People whose dogs are currently unlicensed are encouraged to do so as soon as possible to avoid fines.

Although there are no licenses for cats, Vincent says that in order to prevent cats from becoming property of the SPCA, owners can purchase

tags at Gary’s Lock Shop to help missing felines find their way home. Another option for cats is getting a microchip implanted at the Pacific Coast Vet Hospital, as the SPCA has a scanner for microchips, or a tattoo in the animal’s ear.

Vincent also wants to remind people that find lost or stray pets and are planning to keep them in their houses over night to inform either the SPCA, Pacific Coast Vet Hospital, or other animal related places.

“We see incidences all the time where people have had a pet at their home for some time, and haven’t reported it. That means that someone has been looking for their pet all of that time,” commented Vincent.

Most of the boats were sold or dismantled for use elsewhere. The Hazelton was brought around to Prince Rupert to become the first clubhouse of the Prince Rupert Rowing & Yacht Club, and

was eventually bulldozed under. The Inlander was left to rot on Cunningham’s ways in Essington until Jack Mussallem spearheaded the removal of her last bones to become a memorial at Hazelton.

Although there are few

visible memories of the sternwheeler era here in Prince Rupert, their memory plays a role in telling the Prince Rupert story. Travelers seek out the unique. They want to know what makes one place different than another, what defines its

character. In Prince Rupert we are lucky that there are many things that set us apart. Ever since the days of Mark Twain the steamboat has been seen through a filter of romanticism and nostalgia. Sternwheelers of the Skeena offer just that.

Small business the backbone of both the provincial and municipal economies


A report from the provincial government released on October 17 shows just how important small businesses are to the provincial economy.

According to the Small Business Profile 2011, there were 391,700 small businesses operating in the province in 2010, which accounts for 98 per cent of all businesses in BC. Although large industries are commonly thought of as the biggest employers, those small businesses employed 1,038,300 people in BC which

accounts for 57 per cent of all private sector jobs in BC, which is the second highest rate in the country.

The profile illustrates that more British Columbians received wages last year from small business than anywhere else in Canada. Annual earnings for B.C.’s small business workers increased 14 per cent over the past five years, compared with an increase of 12 per cent for employees of larger businesses..

Small business represents 30 per cent of the province’s Gross Domestic Product

(GDP)Between 2009 and 2010,

small businesses also created 13,700 new jobs, an increase of 1.3 per cent compared to the 1.1 per cent seen in the large business sector.

And while many question how small businesses can get involved in international trade, the report shows that in 2009 $10.9 billion to other countries, which accounts for 47 per cent of all exports.

In the Nechako/North Coast region, which covers the northwest to the Cariboo and up to the Yukon border, there

were 6,400 small businesses operating in 2010. Of those business, 461 were tourism related.

Nationally, small businesses make up 99.8 per cent of Canadian business and employ 60 per cent of private sector workers.

The Small Business Profile has been produced for over a decade by Western Economic Diversification Canada, the Province and BC Stats, and is released to coincide with British Columbia’s Small Business Month, held in October, and Canada’s Small Business Week.

A bit of history of Small Business WeekBy Martina Perry

The Northern View

Small Business Week was started in 1947 after Business Development Bank of Canada

(or BDC) branches in the Lower Fraser Valley organized small business management session for small business owners that spanned over a week.

After witnessing the success

from the first year, organizers decided to hold another small business management session, this time tripling the number of sessions presented to local businesses.

In 1981 it was made official that the third week in October would be “Small Business Week” a tribute to all the hard working small businesses around the country.

Celebrating Small Business Week: October 16-22, 2011

Power Up Your Business. Invest. INNOVATE. Grow.

By Pat Bell Ministr of Jobs, Tourism, Innovation

For five years now, British

Columbia has proclaimed October small business month. This year, the proclamation could not come at a more appropriate time.

The world economy is again on tumultuous ground. Although B.C.’s economy is on solid footing thanks to 10 years of strong fiscal management, we need to grow on this foundation.

Less than two weeks ago, our government released a plan designed to protect and create B.C. jobs. It’s about taking decisive actions - removing barriers or providing support in key sectors to boost domestic, cross-

border and global export opportunities. It’s about bringing new investment into all regions of the province - accelerating job creation and growing revenues which support B.C. families.

As part of Canada Starts Here: The BC Jobs Plan, our government will provide a $3-million increase to B.C.’s successful Small Business Venture Capital Program tax credit, targeted to direct investments in new businesses. This program encourages individuals - known as “angel investors” - to invest their own capital directly into an eligible small business and offer strategic expertise.

The additional $3 million would boost the current $30-million annual tax credit budget for venture capital programs for small

business. Eligible investors may receive a 30-per-cent tax credit for investing in eligible small businesses under the Small Business Venture Capital tax credit program. The program currently supports up to $100 million annually in total investments. The additional $3 million would target direct investments in new businesses.

Prior to politics, I ran a number of small businesses. I understand the pressures of meeting a payroll and the pleasures of providing a service to my community. I also know one of the most important products of a small business is the jobs they provide for their communities, especially in small and rural communities.

Whether they are part-time employment for students or careers

that support families, British Columbia’s small business sector is a significant job creator in the province, making up 98 per cent of all business and employing over one million people.

Small business accounts for 57 per cent of all private sector employment in the province, the second highest rate in the country, and makes up 30 per cent of the province’s GDP. Clearly small business is pivotal to the success in B.C.’s economy and I believe they have a major role in our future.

Since 2001, the Province has implemented a series of economic actions to make British Columbia one of the most business-friendly and competitive jurisdictions in the G7. These include: tax reductions; streamlined regulations for business; improved labour mobility between provinces; new and upgraded transportation infrastructure; new trade offices and a series of trade missions to attract investment from Asia.

City passes tax exemptions

By Alan S. HaleThe Northern View

Prince Rupert City Council approved $411,984.48 worth of municipal tax exemptions to a variety of churches, service groups, cultural and recreational facilities, and social service groups located inside Prince Rupert.

The council passes a bylaw every year granting exemptions from paying municipal property taxes and last week they finalized the list for 2012.

To get a tax exemption from the City, property owners must apply for one. There are five different kinds of property owners that are regularly given exemptions: religious organizations that provide an educational service, religious organizations that want their parking lot or other grounds exempt, community groups that provide a community service and occupy city-owned land or own their own property, and corporations that allow public use of their property.

Church groups in Prince

Rupert were given a total of $12,173.18 worth of tax e x e m p t i o n s , Service Groups got $38,878.27, recreational and cultural facilities got $318,400.95 worth and Social Service groups got $42,496.08.

The Lax Kw’alaams Ferry Corporation had originally made a request to the City that it too should be exempt from paying $78,628 worth of municipal taxes, despite being a for-profit business, on the grounds that it provides an important service to the people living in the village.

“ T h e c o r p o r a t i o n suggests that it should be granted on the grounds that their financial circumstances are such that they are basically a non-profit organization, and on the grounds that the ferry terminal provides regular economic benefits to the city,” said the city’s chief financial officer, Dan Rodin.

The city staff didn’t see it that way and recommended that council turn down the application by the ferry corporation, because it could

mean opening the door to more exemptions like this.

“Although the corporation’s financial circumstances may not be optimal, there are many organizations that would also appreciate relief from municipal property taxes on the grounds that their finances are not the best,” said Rodin.

The council accepted staff’s recommendation and the Lax Kw’alaams Ferry Corporation

was not included in the 54 property owners that were exempt from taxes.

It is difficult to compare municipalities on how many tax exemptions while Prince Rupert gives out exemptions another community might traditionally give out grants instead. Or one community may run its own ice rink while in another it might be run by a non-profit group.

NHA talks First Nations Health AuthorityBy Alan S. Hale The Northern View

Last week, the Federal and BC governments signed an agreement that will give First Nations in British Columbia a direct say in how health services are provided in their communities, by creating a First Nations Health Authority.

The newly-formed First Nations Health Authority will take over responsibility for all the health care programs that are already provided specifically to BC First Nations by Health Canada; which will be transferring control and funds for these programs too the health authority. This is intended to give First Nations in BC more control in tailoring medical services that better reflect the needs of their communities. But it won’t be officially taking over until after a two-year transition period.

The First Nation’s Health Authority will not be replacing the existing health authorities in BC, but instead will have to work with them as partners. In order to offset the complications of having more than one health authority in an areas, a committee with representatives from the First Nations Health Authority, the existing BC Heath Authority (such as Northern Health) and the Provincial Government will also be formed coordinate service delivery between them.

Northern Health says that they have been working with many First Nations

groups for years and that the only real difference in how their operations will be to formalize that existing partnership.

“We think that it’s a real opportunity for us to build on the work that we have already started by partnering with First Nations communities so that our services meet the needs of those communities’ needs both culturally and the health needs that First Nations communities have.

Because there is a gap between the health of First Nations people and the heath of the rest of the population,” says Northern Health CEO Cathy Ulrich.

Prince Rupert’s regional hospital is used as the hub for medical services for many different Aboriginal communities along the North Coast area. Ulrich says that its too early in the process to say what changes will happen in Prince Rupert and the primary focus of the First Nations Health Council – which will be providing leadership to the heath authority -- will mostly centre around services delivered inside Aboriginal communities.

“What I think this enables us to do, and this work has already started in Prince Rupert...Where we work with the health service providers in the First Nations communities to deliver services that meet the needs of everybody, both inside the hospital as well as some services like addictions and mental health services treatment,” says Ulrich.

One of the things that the First Nations Health Council will be able to do integrate First Nations culture and traditional knowledge into the medical treatment of aboriginal people. Ulrich says that what this means will differ between the customs and beliefs of different First Nations in BC. But, she says there are many ways Aboriginal Culture can be integrated into the hospital;.

“For example in a hospital setting, there are traditions related to birthing, there are traditions related to when somebody passes away that we need to work with First Nation communit ies on how those traditions can be incorporated,” s a y s Ulrich.

U l r i c h says that the p a r t n e r s h i p b e t w e e n the health authorities will be an important part of finding an appropriate b a l a n c e between the needs of t r a d i t i o n a l cultures and with those of modern medicine.

Treaty commisioner wants extensionBy Tom Fletcher

Black Press

The head of the B.C. Treaty Commission wants her mandate extended one more year to see if the federal-provincial effort to settle aboriginal land claims has a future after two decades.

Chief Commissioner Sophie Pierre’s three-year appointment is set to end next March. The former chief and administrator of the Ktunaxa-Kinbasket Tribal Council in southeastern B.C. has tried to speed up progress since her appointment in 2009, a period that saw two treaties implemented and

another signed. As the commission tabled its 19th annual report Wednesday in Victoria, Pierre turned up the heat. She said treaty talks have become “just another program of government” where Ottawa in particular is holding up progress.

“We believe as a commission that with political will, with strong political direction, we could have seven treaties instead of two, right now, and we could have nine comprehensive agreements instead of the one that we have,” Pierre said.

Jerry Lampert, the federal appointee to the treaty commission, agreed with Pierre that federal negotiators have too narrow a mandate.

J&J CONSTRUCTION

By Malcolm Baxter Kitimat Northern Sentinel

The National Energy Board last week approved a long-term liquefied natural gas export licence for the KM LNG project.

And in doing so the project cleared one of three hurdles it needed to in order to get the full go-ahead.

KM LNG - a 40:30:30 partnership between Apache Canada, EOG Resources Canada and Encana - required that licence to be able to nail down contracts with potential Asian buyers in China, Japan and Korea.

In an interview last month (Northern Sentinel, September 21) Apache CEO Tim Wall said a lot of memorandums of understanding had already been reached with potential buyers.

The third item is completion of the front-end engineering and design (FEED) study which Wall said was going “very well” and was on track to be finished in January or February.

“Once we get those pinned down...Then we’ll be ready to go and get the boards’ approval,” he added.

The licence allows KM LNG to export 200 million tonnes of LNG over a 20-year period, or a maximum (plus or minus 10 per cent) of 10 million tonnes per year.

That is the planned total production of both phases of the project which the company has to date indicated would be built in increments of five million tonnes.

One of the issues the three-member NEB panel considered was whether there was enough natural gas supply to meet the proposed LNG export numbers.

The three partners showed that between them they had established reserves of 15.7 trillion cubic feet. (tcf) of gas, far in excess of the 10.2 tcf export commitment.

On the demand side, “While the board notes

the existence of competing sources of global LNG, given the size of Canada’s natural gas resource, proximity to markets in Asia and Canada’s stable political and regulatory environment, the board is of the view that KM LNG has the opportunity to compete in the global LNG market.”

Another factor the board had to assess was the impact of exports on Canadian domestic natural gas markets “to determine whether Canadians are likely to have difficulty in meeting their energy requirements at fair market prices.”

It concluded Canadians would not face such difficulties, noting “the proposed export volume is relatively small compared to overall North American supply.”

And it would continue to monitor the situation to ensure Canadian needs continued to be met at “fair market prices”.

On environmental issues, the board decided duplication on its part of the federal and provincial legislation and processes (e.g. environmental assessments) was not warranted.

*****In April of this year the Gitxaala Nation

had filed a motion seeking a stay on the NEB proceedings until KM LNG had adequately replied to its information requests.

At the June hearing in Kitimat the Gitxaala told the panel it had a pending settlement with KM LNG and on September 29 confirmed it had reached a settlement and requested its motion be withdrawn.

DISTRICT OF PORT EDWARD

250-628-3667www.district.portedward.bc.ca

By Martina PerryThe Northern View

Civic Pride will be holding a community clean up later this week, and are encouraging all members of the community to help keep Prince Rupert clean and beautiful.

“Civic Pride would like to see a big crowd out because there’s a lot of mess around town,” said Civic Pride’s only remaining active member, Charlotte Rowse.

“There are a lot of areas that have gotten really awful.”

The clean up will take place on Sunday, October 23, starting at one p.m. at Mariner’s

Park. As usual, gloves and bags will be provided for volunteers. Volunteers can go to any desired location around town to pick up trash to help keep Prince Rupert clean.

Whenever people feel they are complete they can bring the garbage bags back to Mariner’s Park, where the City will pick them up. People can also bring them home with them, and put them with their regular trash, if desired.

Civic Pride is really encouraging

everyone of all ages, races, and statuses to take part, as Prince Rupert is the home to an arrangement of different people, whose responsibility it is to keep the city clean.

Civic Pride use to hold community clean ups monthly in the summer but this year the number of clean ups have dropped due to lack of support and dwindling volunteer numbers.

Rowse is the only active member left, as others became

busy with other areas in their lives, and she soon would like to pass the

position on to another member of the community g o i n g forward.

A n y o n e wishing to learn more about Civic Pride or the clean-up this Sunday, or to become a member of the group, is encouraged to talk to Rowse.

Flu Clinic Rupert Square Mall, downstairs October 21 (1 p.m. to 7 p.m.) and Saturday October 22 (11 a.m. to 5 p.m.)

As I’m still too young to go to the Kaien Island Lions Club annual Thanksgiving Dinner I must rely on anecdotal information supplied by my friends at the Seniors’ Centre. Apparently it was fantastic once again and everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves

and the food. For the members of the Seniors’ Centre who attended the dinner I say thank you to all involved in making it happen.

We just wrapped up our general meeting for October and it appears that Dawn is still hopeful that more seniors will come forward to have their “Prince Rupert History” included in the second volume of “100 Years of Rupertites”. Please feel free to contact us by e-mail, [email protected] or by phone, 627-1900 if you would like to be included.

Senior Games: AGM October 22 at the Kitimat

Srs’ Centre at 1pm. Members are invited to attend.Time seems to be flying by and we are at crunch

time for the garage sale and the Tea & Bazaar. We are no longer taking items for the garage sale. Thank you so much to those of you who have donated to our hampers, they are looking good. We are having our bake table at the Tea this year, but if you feel you cannot bake anything we are accepting donations towards the dessert.

Garage Sale October 29 9 a.m.-1 p.m., Tea & Bazaar November 5 11 a.m.-1 p.m.

Rampage fall to Terrace in home openerBy Shaun Thomas

The Northern View

The Prince Rupert Rampage held their home opener against the Terrace River Kings on Saturday night in front of an excited crowd at the arena, but ended up on the wrong side of a 6-1 score.

The River Kings came out firing early in the game, and it paid off in three goals in less than 10 minutes. Derek Jurista put one past Dan Lorette with 16:34 r e m a i n i n g and followed that up with another goal three minutes later while Tristan Murray made it 3-0 just 47 seconds later. That was enough for the coaching staff to pull Lorette and put Tremaine Kurka in net, but with 2:47 left in the first Murray scored his second of the game to

put the River Kings up 4-0. Jeremy Boot gave the crowd something to cheer about before the period was out though, finding the back of the net with just 36 second left in the first to lessen the gap to 4-1.

After another quick goal by captain Steve Cullis just over four minutes into the period, the Rampage seemed to settle down a bit and the two teams went back and forth with no other goals being recorded and the period ending with Terrace leading 5-1.

That back and forth play continued into the third, with Kurka standing his ground and nobody finding the back of the net until Murray completed the hat trick with

just 2:12 to play. When the horn sounded Terrace enjoyed a 6-1 victory.

With the win, the River Kings have two points while the Kitimat Ice Demons continue to lead the Western Conference with a perfect 3-0 record and six points. The Rampage remain the only team in the league without any points thus far.

This weekend the Rampage will host the Kitimat Ice Demons, while next week the team will play their first doubleheader, hosting the Smithers Steelheads on Saturday night and the Houston Luckies on Sunday. Look for results from those games next week.

TNT gets underway tomorrowBy Shaun Thomas

The Northern View

Organizers of the Tribal Nations Tournament are getting set for a few days of basketball action this week as the tournament returns to

the Russell Gamble Gymnasium. According to Conrad Lewis, there are four or

five teams registered in the Intermediate Division for players 21 and under, five to seven teams in the Senior Division and five or six teams in the women’s division that will be taking to the courts.

The tournament is set to get underway tomorrow and the finals will be taking place on Sunday, October 23.

The registration deadline had not yet passed as of press time, so the number of teams could change. Look for results next Wednesday.
