Northwest leaders sign benefits MOU

BY SHAUN THOMASPRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

Representatives from 21 municipalities and regional districts encompassing Haida Gwaii to Vanderhoof gathered in Terrace on Aug. 15 to formalize the Northwest Resource Benefits Alliance.

The goal of the alliance is to push the provincial government to share what is projected to be $35 billion in new revenues from projects in the Northwest over the next 25 years. Based on that estimate, a three per cent revenue share would equate to $1 billion.

Work camp, training facility proposed in Port Ed

BY SHAUN THOMASPORT EDWARD / The Northern View

Proponents of what could become the first workforce accommodation development on the North Coast came before Port Edward council on Aug. 11 to outline plans for the North Coast Open Camp.

Its a smaller, more boutique type of offering with approximately 200 beds in a small footprint ... were looking to create a small, aesthetically pleasing development to spearhead some of the work that will be happening, hopefully, in the coming months, explained LandSea Camp Services president Mike Coyne.

It is essentially a pioneer camp that would stay during the development process of whatever larger camp was here. We would be here for the early work and would support the early work undertakings related to the

development of LNG or other projects in the area. We work closely with some of the other camp companies and [this camp] will facilitate the work they do.

Aside from housing workers, Coyne said LandSea aims to give back to the communities in which it operates by creating employment and offering an opportunity for people in the area a chance to develop a career in the hospitality sector.

The second purpose of the facility is to act as a training facility whereby we would put

on a training program for food services and accommodation services for local residents and First Nations that would serve as a stepping stone to the other camp projects in the area ... there would be some key staff we employ, such as a manager and executive chef, but we would then look to compliment those individuals with as much local employment as needed, said Coyne, noting the current proposal would create between 20 and 30 jobs.

We have a three-week program that has been endorsed down in the Lower Mainland and we have received government funding for the program. It essentially gives anyone who wants to pursue a career in the industry all of their certification with WorkSafe procedures and the knowledge they need to proceed in that career path. We would establish a classroom, a facilitator and do hands-on training on-site.

We would be here for the We would be here for the early work.early work.

Trade is building stronger communities.The Port of Prince Rupert is growing opportunities and prosperity by

connecting the communities of northern BC. Last year, port activity was

directly responsible for the equivalent of 3,060 permanent full-time jobs.

gateway industry: youtube.com/rupertport.

The camp would occupy two acres of the Port Edward Logistics Park on the way into town, with access via Wolf Creek Road and workers primarily being shuttled to and from the worksite by buses. Coyne said the camp would be a dry one, meaning no alcohol would be permitted. Amenities in the camp include a 9000 square foot kitchen-dinner-rec (KDR) that houses an open dining room, fitness centre, media room, meeting rooms and a dedicated area for the Stepping Stones Training and Development Program. The rooms would feature satellite television and high speed wireless Internet.

The company also plans to level and hydro-seed the existing berm to both improve the aesthetics of the area and create a noise buffer between the camp and the highway.

Council voted to give the go ahead for a three-year temporary use permit for the site on the conditions that the company provide a security bond or letter of credit to ensure the site could be cleaned up should some issue arise, that the project meet the development bylaws of the municipality and that there be consultation with the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure.

Were excited about being here in the community and about possibly being the first on the ground. I think it will be a positive all around, said Coyne, noting the camp could be operational within 90 days of a final investment decision for projects in the region.

Camp could be ready within 90 days

Given that Urban Systems Ltd. forecasts a $500 million infrastructure deficit among the municipalities involved in the alliance, newly-elected chair Stacey Tyers said there would be no shortage of uses for the money.

The summit resulted in the development of three priorities: addressing infrastructure needs, mitigating social impacts and developing a legacy fund so that we can look forward to a sustainable future, she said, noting the intent isnt to be confused with grants already offered by the province.

We want to be at the table to negotiate our share.

In addition to creating an action plan for the coming year, the officials elected an executive that includes chair Tyers and vice chairs Bill Miller of the Regional District of Bulkley - Nechako and Barry Pages of the Skeena - Queen Charlotte Regional District.

This is an historic and commendable process that the 21 local governments have been engaged in - we are

excited and looking forward to coming up with a revenue sharing agreement with the provincial government that meets the needs of the Northwest, said Pages.

We are looking forward to the province sitting down with the [alliance] and coming up with an agreement that is a win-win for everybody.

While the municipal and regional leaders may be wanting an agreement, an idea they claim has support of industry, the provincial government has thus far not been as supportive of reaching an agreement in the

near future.This spring the province

turned down a $1.131 million request from the alliance to assist in its work.

At the time, the province said it would be premature to provide revenues from an industrial base that does not yet exist.

The province does, however, have a revenue sharing agreement with northeastern local governments based on oil and gas drilling revenues and other development.

CityWest warns of scam

BY SHAUN THOMAS PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

CityWest is warning its customers to be extra vigilant after reports of two different scams involved the use of the company name.

Over the past two weeks, CityWest says it has been alerted to both phone and online scams that involve the person being contacted by someone claiming to be from CityWest. In both cases the person was told they had won a prize in one case an iPad and in another case a cruise but the customer needed to give their credit card number in order to claim the prize.

However, CityWest says it will never contact customers and ask for credit card information, although that information may be sought if the person calls customer service.

Anyone who has heard about the scam or has received a call from the company asking for credit card information is asked to call 1-800-442-8664 or email [email protected]

BY SHAUN THOMAS PORT EDWARD / The Northern View

The day after an open house in the community, the District of Port Edward formally zoned a large parcel of land for a planned subdivision.

The multi-family development would include 130 units and 259 parking spaces for residents and visitors. Chief administrative officer Bob Payette said that giving the rezoning to allow for a multi-family residential area third and fourth reading could prove to be quite beneficial for Port Edward in light of a projected boom related to the development of the liquefied natural gas industry.

There are many benefits of that to the district in terms of revenue generation through tax assessment, having proper accommodation for multiple families and having a critical mass for services if we got potentially got closer to 700 or 800 residents, that could sustain a grocery store, he said, noting the company had good answers to resident questions related to privacy,

drainage and access at the previous nights open house.

There are all kinds of good opportunities that could come from this rezoning.

With fourth reading passed

and the property zoned, the next step in the project is entering the development application process, which would provide more specifics on the housing proposed.

Hopefully we can move into the building permits early in the fall, which would be excellent, said Payette of the timing.

After welcoming proponent Alture Properties to Port Edward, Mayor Dave MacDonald called the passing of the zoning another good day for Port Edward.

The Northern View archivesA coroners inquest will look into what led Angie Robinson to take the life of her son Robert before taking her own life last April.


A date has been set for the inquest into the deaths of Prince Rupert residents Angie and Robert Robinson.

Presiding coroner Michael Egilson and a jury will begin hearing testimony from witnesses under oath at 9:30 a.m. on Sept. 28 at the Prince Rupert Courthouse. The inquiry will seek to determine the facts that led to Angie taking the life of Robert, her son with autism, before taking her own life on April 3, 2014.

Based on the witness testimony, the jury will have the opportunity to make recommendations to prevent deaths under similar circumstances.

The deaths raised many concerns about the level of services available to families with autistic children.

A complete assessment of current services and services required are at the forefront of the familys investigation - so that the hopelessness felt by a mother who wanted nothing but help with her son so that he could live with her forever will not be felt by another family, wrote the family following the deaths.

Hikers rescued from Mount Hays


What started out as an outdoor adventure turned into an almost 12-hour search and rescue operation for three people on Mount Hays.

The Prince Rupert Ground Search and Rescue were called out at 6 p.m. on Aug. 9 when the missing hikers contacted RCMP after recognizing they were stuck.

The Initial Response Team set out with two vehicles to the summit of Mount Hays where the trained man trackers picked up signs of two male and one female. The tracking took the team through some very hazardous terrain and it wasnt until midnight that the team located the hikers.

However, the hikers were in a precarious position 200 metres above Wantage Road between a very large vertical cliff and a very steep section looking up the mountain. The rescue was a dangerous one due to loose soil, but the first response team was able to provide blankets, hot tea and protein snacks while another team scouted an exit route to begin the descent.

By the time the volunteers reached their vehicles and were able to drive the hikers to safety it was 5 a.m.

The 21 volunteers who make up the team and cover Prince Rupert, Highway 16 on the North Coast and surrounding First Nations villages, are currently seeking community support to fund further training and equipment for the members, who are on call 24/7.

For more information on the group, visit a Sept. 13 open house at the Port Interpretive Centre beginning at 7:30 p.m. or visit the organizations Facebook Page.

BY KEVIN CAMPBELLPRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

People still talk about East Prince Rupert and West Prince Rupert and the dividing point that they refer to is usually somewhere around McBride Street.

But there was once a time that some Rupertites may remember when the youth of the city werent exactly free to roam and cross each side wherever and whenever they wanted to.

If you were born on the east end, you stayed on the east end. [You didnt go] across the bridge, explained Jack Rudolph last week.

There were gangs all over the place.

Rudolph, a past city councillor, has spent his entire life in Prince Rupert, save for a few years outside of the North Coast, two of those following his birth in in Beausejour, Manitoba - a small town northeast of Winnipeg.

The gangs have been cleaned up since then and, as Rudolph grew, he took a liking to basketball. Having grown to just over six feet by junior high, Rudolph started playing ball as a centre in Grade 6 and continued until Grade 10, moving onto Booth Memorial high school. Rudolph didnt have the intention to join the sports team, but his coaches were interested in him before he set foot on a court.

I was told they wanted me. I said I was six foot and a half, and they said [great], [the extra half] looks better when we go touring [on the stat sheet], Rudolph said.

We played the Chiefs from the All Native Tournament and a lot of the teams from the ANT for practice. We played Terrace, Kitimat, Metlakatla, Alaska and then as I got older, we went down to Burnaby. I was walking around and I was six feet and I was just [as tall as] the other peoples armpits.

Rudolph also played for the new Annunciation Crusaders, a small school with a smaller team of approximately

five members.Shortly after leaving high school,

Rudolph continued to play when he moved to Smithers to work in the forestry industry. It was there he met his wife, Gloria. The two wed and the Rupertite later had the task of attaching house number signs to residences in the city.

The addresses [before numbers came in] were the red house on the corner of Second Street, over four more houses, he said.

Rudolphs stint in Smithers lasted just one year, when CN asked for the Rupertite to come back to town and help out in relief duty for another employee on a three-month leave.

When his three months were up, he decided he wasnt coming back, so I phoned my wife in Smithers and said sorry dear, Ill be here another three months. So, she was a nurse and gave her three months notice, then we had our first child [and made the permanent move back to Rupert], he said.

Later this summer, Jack and Gloria will meet up with their kids at an annual family reunion at Cultus Lake, outside of Chilliwack.

Working with CN for five years and delivering dispatch freight for CNs express office was the precursor to his career in the oil shipping and receiving industry.

I spent the next 28 years at Imperial Oil ... I was dispatching tank cars, filling them, receiving tanker [ships], then later jet fueling and [working with] aviation, said Rudolph.

The Rupertite became a unique asset to the company as he developed specialized knowledge with train car, ship and plane fuelling and receiving. Often, he would wake up at 3 a.m. and go to work on overtime pay to receive or ship out barrels from another car or tanker.

Eventually they decided theres not enough ships coming in every week, so we would learn to do aviation inspections and terminal inspections

[at airports] from Queen Charlotte to Prince George. Once a month, we would visit the air stations [in that region], he said.

I took samples of the gasoline, tested it and gave the results to the airport.

After 28 years working with Imperial Oil, the Exxon Valdez oil spill forced the shutdown of many plants, including Rudolphs.

At 49, he received a full pension with medical and dental insurance to ease him into retirement.

Not satisfied with sitting back and relaxing, Rudolph ran for city council in 1996 and sat on council until 2005.

[I oversaw] graveyards, Wantage Road, the maintenance road and everyday, wed sort of have an open house in council chambers for anybody that wanted to come in and ask questions. Wed find the answers or wed have somebody from staff answer them if we couldnt ... Now theyre talking about bringing a bunch of us old guys back to help with the solution of rebuilding the city, he said.

Rudolph also helps out with the Prince Rupert Seafarers Centre, hosting the docked sailors as they stay

in the city.Im the gopher. If we run out of

cookies, Ill go and find somebody who can donate cookies. The Salvation Army had a surplus on their food bank French [carbonated] water. Nobody in Prince Rupert drinks French water, but weve got a whole basement full. [Some of the sailors] are used to it because they all drink it, said the Rupertite, who also carries a handy translation card in his wallet, giving him the words for hello, goodbye, grocery store and the like in Russian and Mandarin Chinese so he can converse with some of the sailors.

Everybody there has got a purpose, he said.

For now, Rudolph is happy with the direction his city is taking.

I think [Mayor] Lee Brain is doing a fantastic job. [Its the same] in Terrace, Kitimat and Smithers theyre all young. Its a changing world and you cant have us dinosaurs trying to figure out where to put the LNG, he said.

But some things never change from generation to generation.

[On city council], one day you get something new, the next day you get something old. Its like today.

A well-oiled machine finds a home in RupertA well-oiled machine finds a home in Rupert

Several readers took me to task for last weeks commentary on the beginning of our long, hot federal election campaign.They pointed out, among other things, that there

are substantial cost increases to Elections Canada as well as higher spending limits for the parties. And thanks to generous tax deductions for political donations, taxpayers subsidize all party spending whether they want to or not.

Thats the system as it is today, so rather than rail against it, it seems more useful to ask what were getting for our forced investment in this exercise.

First, more leader debates. The traditional main event organized by TV networks for Oct. 8 appears to be a bust, with only Liberal leader Justin Trudeau and Green Party leader Elizabeth May expected to attend. Conservative leader Stephen Harper declined, prompting NDP leader Thomas Mulcair to say he will only take part in debates that include Harper.

Harper, Trudeau and Mulcair have agreed to a Sept. 17 debate hosted by The Globe and Mail and Google Canada. This one is to be focused on the economy, which should force participants to get beyond their talking points and pointing fingers.

On Sept. 28 there will be a debate focused on foreign policy hosted by Munk Debates, a charitable foundation. Harper, Trudeau and Mulcair have accepted. May and Bloc Quebecois leader Gilles Duceppe were not invited to either of these.

Party policies are being doled out one bit at a time, and the

national and local candidate debates may help clarify them. Here are a couple that could use closer scrutiny.

Harper has promised to revive a stimulus program from the 2009 economic crisis, offering a 15 per cent tax credit for home improvements between $1,000 and $5,000. This sounds great if youre a homeowner, but does nothing for renters, drives up the cost of housing in already overpriced urban markets and encourages more consumer debt.

Trudeau has promised an additional $2.6 billion over four years for First Nations education on reserves, and

accelerated spending on school infrastructure.Mulcair has promised to hold a national inquiry into missing

and murdered aboriginal women. Mulcair and Trudeau both pledge to reverse the Conservative moves to eliminate whats left of door-to-door mail delivery, and to extend the age of eligibility for the Old Age Security pension from 65 to 67.

All of these promises are presented in the most appealing way possible by the parties that promote them, and all involve spending and taxation trade-offs that the parties would prefer not to discuss.

Another possible dividend from a formal campaign stretching more than two months is that more voters will pay attention to the real issues and actually take the time to cast a ballot. If that happens, and the long decline in voter turnout is reversed, its a good investment.

As soon as the story about a proposed work camp went online at thenorthernview.com, the backlash to these type of projects was quick to appear and anything but subtle.

It is backlash that, quite frankly, doesnt make a whole lot of sense.

If thousands of workers are coming to the North Coast, which will happen if any number of

large-scale projects come to fruition, the best thing that could possibly happen for Prince Rupert and Port Edward is for those workers to be housed in these large-scale accommodation developments.

The benefits of these projects are plentiful:

- The coming and going of workers are closely monitored and workers need to apply by the rules

of the work camp lest they lose their high-paying jobs. That cant happen if these individuals are in the community.

- Traffic on the roads is minimized as workers are picked up and dropped off. That sounds a heck of a lot safer than having hundreds of additional vehicles hitting the roads of the North Coast.

- Most importantly, the rental market isnt overrun with thousands of people seeking accommodation. When that happens, supply and demand dictate prices climb and the result would be more renovictions and more homelessness in Prince Rupert and Port Edward.

The reality is the people who are knocking the work camps arent actually against those projects at all. They are opposing major industrial development that would boost the economy of the region.

After all, the only way these work camps wont be needed is if no LNG project or other major construction development takes place.

Unfortunately, the opposition to these projects is manifesting itself with the broad stereotyping of hard working men and women who would arrive in the region to earn good money to support themselves and their families. That is simply unfair.

If you oppose LNG, oppose LNG. Dont turn your venom on the workers who would build the terminals.

Letters to the editorLetters to the editor

Beetles spur lumber trade to branch outThe nature of Brit-ish Columbias forestry sector hasundergone a notable shift in recent years, thanks in large part to the industrys ability to innovate and adapt to changed circumstances.

The mountain pine beetle has devastated a significant portion of theprovinces harvestable pine forests since it was recognized over a decade ago as the most severe bark beetle infestation in North American his-tory. Since 2001, the epidemic has killed an estimated 718 million cubicmetres of commercially valuable timber, more than half of all such pine in BC. While the rate of damage is slowing, it is expected that the great-est social and economic impacts of the epidemic still lie ahead.

An important factor in the survival of the industry has been the tech-nological innovation introduced to BCs roughly two dozen sawmills over the last 20 years. Using the latest in computer scanning technolo-gy, millsowned and operated by Canadian forest companies like West Fraser Timber Co.rely on the digital screening of each log to max-imize the value that can be derived from it. In fact, at mills like West Frasers Pacific Inland Resources in Smithers, manual decision-making has been reduced. In a fraction of a second, scanners create a 3D image of a log from thousands of data points, determine its defects, how many boards can be cut from it and the ideal dimensions of those boards. The introduction of modern technology has helped the industry maximize the volume and value of damaged and dead pine trees.

The rise of Asian demand for BC softwood lumber products, partic-ularly in China, has also been important to the health of the industry in the last five years.

At a time when BC lumber exports to the United States dropped by nearly 60%, the building boom in China helped BCs forest companies fill some of the void left by the US housing market collapse. From 2006to 2011, Chinese imports of BC softwood lumber increased from a mere140 million board feet to 3.1 billion, equal to more than 25% of BCproduction. With BC wood products gaining wider acceptance in China for use in construction, and with the country now paying globally com-petitive prices for lower grades of lumber, mills across the province have been able to reopen or add capacity.

And theres no sign that Chinas appetite for BC lumber is waning. Lumber exports to China in 2013 are on track to surpass 2012s near record $1.08 billion. The Port of Prince Rupert possesses the capacity to move the increased trade in lumber to those new markets. So far this year, the number of loaded containers exported through Fairview Ter-minal is up over 23% from 2012, the majority of which are stuffed with BC lumber products.

Currently about 30% of West Frasers Canadian production is ex-ported to Asian markets like China, Japan and Korea through Canadaswest coast ports, a figure expected to continue growing into the next de-cade. This increasing trade through the Port of Prince Rupertby West Fraser and other Canadian forest product companiesis providing new opportunities and success for communities throughout BCs northerntrade corridor.

LNG devil is in the detailsEditor: Our provincial government is holding up

the 25-year liquefied natural gas deal recently approved as an achievement which will serve our long-term economic interests.

It is a done deal, but it nonetheless merits closer examination. We need to reflect on it even though we do not have the power to do anything about it. The LNG deal is an example of what elections are all about. Elections give those we elect the capacity to enact laws undreamt of at the time of the election.

The Liquefied Natural Gas Project Agreements Act (LNGPAA) is an unassuming piece of legislation comprised of just 10 sections, including definitions.

What should be of most interest to citizens about that legislation is the absence of any reference to employment yet having a commitment to exempt LNG projects from a critical regulation.

Are the laws under which businesses are established and operated in this province not adequate to facilitate a liquefied natural gas project?

During the last election liquefied natural gas was promoted as a great job creator for citizens, not as a safe investment opportunity for shareholders. If we are going to provide legal protection from tax and other cost increases for shareholders, why not provide equal protection for citizens?

The LNGPAA allows the government to enter into agreements to provide to a person an indemnity respecting the amount of additional tax paid by the person in the event of a tax law change, and the persons direct costs of complying with a greenhouse gas regulatory change (Sec. 2). The reference to a person includes corporations which are recognized in law as persons.

Any amount due to a corporation pursuant to this section must be paid out of the consolidated revenue fund (Sec. 6).

The consolidated revenue fund consist of what politicians like to refer to as taxpayers dollars when debating a benefit for flesh-and-blood persons.

If citizens in their capacity as taxpayers are to provide financial guarantees to a corporation, would it not be reasonable for that corporation to provide employment and wage guarantees in exchange?

A provision of greater long-term consequences than the LNGPAAs 25-year provision is Sec. 4 which exempts any

LNG project from parts of section 72 of the Financial Administration Act.

Subsection 3 provides that an indemnity or guarantee given under any other Act by or on behalf of the government must comply with all government regulations. Agreements negotiated under the authority of the LNGPAA are exempt from this obligation.

Subsection 8 provides that the Minister of Finance must, after the beginning of each fiscal year, present a report respecting the guarantees and indemnities approved by the government to the Legislative Assembly.

LNPGAA agreements are exempt from this obligation as well. In other words, however much taxpayers dollars future governments may have to pay to an LNG corporation during the terms of an agreement is none of your (or my) business.

Twenty years ago James Laxer, a political science professor at York University, published In Search of a New Left: Canadian Politics after the Neoconservative Assault. He cautioned readers that [t]he unprecedented separation of capital from the control of the nation-state is a cornerstone of the harsh new capitalism of our era. He went on to note that [a]ll specific questions in our politics globalization, competitiveness, the deficit, unemployment, taxation and the welfare state are really debates about equality versus inequality.

The LNGPAA is an example of what Laxer was writing about a generation ago. This LNGPAA is an example of how easily, in the harsh new capitalism of our era, a political promise of Jobs, Jobs, Jobs! can emerge post-election as a financial guarantee of taxpayers dollars payable to global corporate interests.

We would do well in future elections to reflect on the difference between ideology and philosophy before marking our ballot.

Northern Savings names Barry Delany new interim president


Northern Savings Credit Union has appointed a new interim president and CEO following the approval of a new vision and mission statement.

Barry Delany, who has spent more than 17 years in senior roles at Langley-based First West Credit Union, was named to the position on Aug. 11. Delany will fill the role Sharon Stromdahl was occupying following

the March departure of president and CEO Ken Doleman, and the board of directors notes the search for a permanent CEO will begin shortly.

While Stromdahl was in the top spot, the board completed a review of its strategic direction and adopted a vision of Neighbours helping neighbours to build sustainable communities and a mission statement that reads Strengthening our members, organization and communities through cooperative financial services.


The number of loaded twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs) handled at Fairview Terminal in August was down more than 17 per cent compared to last July, but the terminal remains on track for another record year.

In July the terminal handled 45,067 loaded TEUs, down 17.62 per cent from the 54,709 TEUs handled last July, with imports down 14.44 per cent year-over-year and loaded exports down 26.87 per cent this July compared to last.

So far this year the terminal has handled 451,576.5 TEUs, up 30.73 per cent compared to the first seven months of 2014. The number of loaded TEUs imported through Prince Rupert is up 15.45 per cent to sit at 346,670.75 TEUs compared to 300,283.5 TEUs at the end

of last July. While the total number of exported containers is up 42.89 per cent, the number of loaded containers leaving Fairview Terminal is down from 94,505 TEUs to 93,485.75 TEUs.

The other bright spot at the Port of Prince Rupert in July was at Westview Terminal, which saw 84,013.46 tonnes of wood pellets shipped this July compared to last, a jump of 172.46 per cent. So far this year, Westview has moved 413,461 tonnes compared to 236,162 last year, an increase of 75.08 per cent.

Prince Rupert Grain dropped from 567,988 tonnes moved last July to 524,754 tonnes this July while overall tonnage this year is down 7.53 per cent, dropping from 3.9 million tonnes to 3.6 million tonnes.

Ridley Terminals tonnage was down 29.82 per cent, falling from 819,169 tonnes last July to 574,928 tonnes this July. So far this year the terminal has moved 44.36 per cent less coal than 2014, falling from 4.9 million tonne to 2.8 million tonnes.

So far this year traffic through the Port of Prince Rupert is down 9.62 per cent, dropping from 12.76 million tonnes last year to 11.53 million tonnes this year.

The Northern View archivesMore than 413,000 tonnes of wood pellets have been shipped from Westview Terminal so far this year, up 75 per cent from last year.

It was a different opponent than usual for Davit Dzavashvili.

Instead of looking a burly opponent in the eyes on the other side of a boxing ring, it was a looming mountain staring down the 28-year-old boxer on Sunday.

But Dzavashvili didnt flinch in one of his first experiences conquering a long-distance race, let alone up a mountain, and ended up claiming the 2015 Mt. Hays Quickclimb challenge as the days fastest overall climber with a time of 39 minutes and 24 seconds.

It is quite different than what Im used to do fighting professionally back home [in southeastern Europes Georgia]. Fighting in a ring and climbing are quite different. With boxing, you see your opponent and how strong he is. You can strategize to see where his weakness is and you can work through that, but when youre racing, youre racing against your [best] time and you dont really know whats going or whos ahead. You have to keep going until you cross the finish line, the winner said after the race.

The high-intensity fitness trainer who co-operates Prince Ruperts Red Shadow Boxing trained on the mountain, highways and Butze Rapids trails to prepare for Sundays race, but an unexpected hiccup met Dzavashvili toward the end of the climb.

Last Sunday, my teammates and I were climbing up and I did it in 33 minutes, but that was the first yellow pole and I didnt exactly know where the finish line was. We thought it was the first pole and as far as I know from 2010 and the last Quicklclimb, the winning time was [Judd Rowses] 35 minutes and I had 33, Dzavshvili explained.

So today, when I started here and I reached the first yellow pole, there were no people and I thought whats going on?. Then I reached the next pole, and no people. Then I reached the third yellow pole and no people. And I just kept going and going and from the fourth pole to the finish, it was another 700 800 more metres and I realized [I saw] people screaming Davit, push it!. But it was rough, I

wasnt expecting it. Halfway up my legs felt pretty toast.

Rowse finished a mere three seconds behind Dzavashvili at 0:39.24 to take runner-up for the 6.5 kilometre climb on Sunday.

Organizers Kristina De Araujo of Quickload Logistics and Sean Carlson of McElhanney led a troupe of tireless organizers to put on the North Coasts first Mt. Hays race since 2010 and its fourth overall.

Sean ... phoned me up in November and said do you want to bring this back to life?, said De Araujo.

I think its been fantastic. Its definitely gone very smooth, which I think is great. We had a larger committee too, which is nice and they didnt all necessarily represent their companies, but they should all get some recognition ... I had texts last week or so of people saying hey, what was the fastest overall time for [this category], and they want to know, because theyre prepping and thats just great.

I thought it was a unique event, different from a general race because it had a focus or purpose [in 2010] and it was meant to create a legacy in the community and thats what I wanted to be able to support, said Carlson, who mapped out the route himself driving up the mountain, taking coordinates and inputting them into a GPS unit.

I got all that data back to the office and did it up. One thing McElhanney does is air photos. [We combined that with] quality ground data showing elevations and I was able to put it all together and get a good picture [of the

route], Carlson said.And right from arriving at base

camp, Dzavashvili knew he had a competitive fire in him and wanted to claim the mountain-top for himself.

If Im doing any sport or participating in something, all Im seeing is [the goal of] winning, said the new father of seven weeks.

In Georgia, we definitely see things differently than people in Canada here. Here they want to [compete] to be healthy and they want to prove it to themselves that they can do it and back home, we want to win. That is our drive and the reason why Im here. When I saw the trophy, I said This trophy; I want to have it close to me. That trophy is my goal and why Im here. I want to thank [everyone at] Red Shadow Boxing, my wife Kirsten, the volunteers and organizers and our little girl, Viviana. So, Im really grateful for that support, Dzavashvili said.

Tanveen Sahdra, 16, won the under-19 female race with a time of 0:53.07 and Piers Denton, 3, won the under-19 male category, finishing the race in 1:38.51.

The over-50 male category saw David Shearer, 66, take the win in 1:01.01 and Pam McSorley, 56, won the over-50 female contest, crossing the finish line in 1:18.40.

Dzavashvili won the 19-49 male division, with Rowse, 48, nipping on his heels three seconds behind at 0:39.24 and Mary Denton, 33, won the 19-49 female category in 0:46.27.

A de-brief meeting was held this past Tuesday and organizers are in the process of deciding whether or not to green-light a 2016 iteration.

A lot was on the line in the gold medal game of the first ever charity Island Softball Tournament held this past weekend outside the civic centre - $1,000 to be exact.

With 10 corporate-based teams in the running for donating $1,000 to the charity of their choice, Port Edward Harbour Authority (PEHA) and Broadwater Industries met up in the final on Sunday afternoon.

With Broadwater pulling off a thrilling semi-finals win over Keller Canada just minutes before, the Broadwater group took the mound once again to challenge PEHA, who had beaten them a day before, 9-1.

We just have great volunteers and as a non-profit organization, we depend on our volunteers and the people who can help out, so were really grateful to these guys. We had a great team put together and they just played their hearts out for a great

cause, said Tammy Dickens, manager of the winning PEHA team.

By beating Broadwater in the final in six innings 20-7, PEHA was able to donate $1,000 through the 2015 Island Softball Tournament to the North Coast Transition Society.

Team members needed to be either with the organization or company that the team was from or a family member of an employee or volunteer of that group. However, some teams did have additions to fill out their rosters not affiliated with the organization.

The tournament was the brainchild of Ridley Terminals Amy Lashek and Prince Rupert Grains Forrest Shale and of the rivalry between the two industrial companies.

Ridley and Grain always wanted to play each other, so we decided to get a tournament going and do something for charity, said Lashek, who added the tourney will be annual going forward.

The competition was complete with customized hats and T-shirts for each

team with a newly-created logo and each squad wore a different colour.

Were also hoping to run a curling tournament as well, said Lashek.

Organizations looking to take part in next years softball tournament or a potential curling tourney can reach Lashek at 250-600-0241 or Shale at 250-922-4213.

Environmental Assessment of the ProposedAurora LNG Project

Open House and Invitation to Comment

Aurora LNG (Proponent) is proposing to construct and operate the Aurora LNG Project (proposed Project), a liquefied natural gas (LNG) facility and marine terminal for the export of LNG. The proposed Project would be located on the southeast corner of Digby Island near Prince Rupert, BC. The proposed Project would export up to 24 million tonnes per annum of LNG.

The proposed Project is subject to review under British Columbias Environmental Assessment Act and is also undergoing a substituted environmental assessment under the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act.

The Proponent must obtain an environmental assessment certificate before any work can be undertaken on the proposed Project. However, prior to submission of an application (Application) for a certificate by the Proponent, the Environmental Assessment Office of British Columbia (EAO) must first approve the Application Information Requirements.

The Application Information Requirements will specify the studies to be conducted and the detailed information to be provided by the Proponent in its Application. The EAO has now received draft Application Information Requirements from the Proponent and invites comments on this draft.

To provide information about the Application Information Requirements, EAO invites the public to attend an Open House. The Open House is scheduled as follows:

The comment period will begin on September 1, 2015 and end on October 1, 2015. All comments received during this comment period in relation to the Application Information Requirements will be considered.

The intention of seeking public comments is to ensure that all potential effects environmental, economic, social, heritage and health that might result from the proposed Project are identified for consideration as part of the assessment process. At this stage of the process, the primary intent is to receive feedback about the studies or information required for a comprehensive environmental assessment.

After taking public comments into account, EAO will finalize the Application Information Requirements and issue them to the Proponent.

Minor hockey in need of refs for season


The Prince Rupert Minor Hockey Association (PRMHA) is looking to recruit not only new players to the organization, but new referees.

Without refs, theres no games, said PRMHA vice-president Tanya Ostrom last week.

We have great incentives for refs. Along with getting paid, their names get entered into draws and we want to develop as many people as we can to keep this game strong.

Since identifying a need to bring in new referees at its annual general meeting (AGM) earlier this year, the association is moving ahead with its first referee training clinic, to be held from Sept. 12 13 at the Jim Ciccone Civic Centre.

Jerry Kurka is our referee-in-chief. He can help if anybody has any questions and [he can be reached at [email protected]], said the vice-president.

PRMHA will reimburse anyone looking to take the course, pass, and go on to officiate minor hockey games throughout the season. After incurring a financial loss to end the 2014-15 season, the

PRMHA is looking to expand its base of players and has found some success with its Big Assist program, which is a discounted offer for brand new players to the game who register before Aug. 31.

[As of two weeks ago], weve had over 10 new members with advanced registration, said Ostrom.

The minor hockey season starts on Sept. 8 and competitive games versus other regional opponents from the north begin in early October within the Northwest District Minor Hockey Association.

So far, PRMHA plans to field rep teams from all three of the Peewee, Bantam and Midget divisions, but should registration numbers fall short for any of the teams, the association will work something out to accommodate the participants.

If the numbers arent there, well do our best to be as creative as we can to help continue [the teams] and if not, well look at other options, Ostrom said.

McChesney takes on the nationBY KEVIN CAMPBELL PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

A fourth-place finish awaited Justin McChesney and Team B.C. at the 2015 17U Mens National Basketball Championship, but you wouldnt know it when looking at who they defeated in the week-long tourney.

A three-point win over Team Manitoba, the defending champions, on Aug. 6 highlighted a successful, but medal-less west coast effort from McChesney and the bunch, who found their offensive game quite easily but had trouble stopping opponents in the paint.

Due to the nature of year-by-year turnover in the age group-based tourney, Manitoba wasnt the strongest team returning from 2014 that honour would go to the hosts, Nova Scotia, who Team B.C. faced the very next day after knocking off the 2014 champs.

Winning it all on home court at the

Homburg Centre at Saint Marys University in Halifax, Nova Scotia just barely eked out the victory over McChesney and B.C. in the semifinals, 58-55 to knock out the visitors and put them in the bronze medal game.

McChesney had his finest game on the court statistics wise when he put up six points and pulled in six rebounds against the powerhouse home squad, who ended up beating Team Ontario 116-109 in a final where all defence was thrown out the window in the run-and-gun championship.

Upon arriving on the last day of the tourney on Aug. 8 and facing Quebec in the third-place match, Team B.C. got some tough looks in the paint, only being able to shoot 23.8 per cent in the second quarter and 33.3 per cent in the fourth.

Despite the low accuracy of their shots, B.C. kept it close and, again, McChesney put up six points, and nabbed four rebounds in the bronze medal game, but the team ultimately lost to Quebec 76-73 in another three-point squeaker.

During the round robin stages, McChesney and his crew nearly doubled up on their first opponent, neighbouring Alberta, 91-59.

It was a lower finish than the crew was hoping for, having won gold in the under-16 tournament a year ago with B.C., but each player will now take the experience with them as they graduate from the Basketball B.C. youth developmental programs, spanning boys and girls age ranges of under-14 to under-17.

With numerous scouts taking in the tournament as well, a few may be picked up by universities and colleges in Canada and the U.S. McChesney will now suit up for his Grade 12 year at Charles Hays Secondary School in Rupert and try to repeat as zone champions and provincial finalists.

Anna Relkov

Anna Relkov (ne Di Leta) passed away peacefully on August 5, 2015, after a courageous battle with cancer. She is survived by her husband of thirty-six years, Walter, and her two daughters, Cristina and Tonia. Anna is lovingly remembered by her family her mother, Giulia, siblings, Aldo and Mary, her many cousins, nieces, nephews, and her extended family and friends.Annas hometown is Prince Rupert, BC, where her parents

immigrated from Cassino, Italy. She grew up surrounded by many dear family and friends in a tight-knit community. Throughout her life, Anna spoke fondly of living on the north coast with the rain, the fish and the friendly people. She also met her husband in Prince Rupert and after their wedding in 1979 they soon found themselves living all over BC. Anna, Wally, and their two young daughters settled in Kamloops

in 1993. Soon after, she started working at the library and eventually became the TNRD library system booker. It was the perfect fit for her love of books and her immense organisational skills. Her coworkers knew her as a caring and thoughtful individual who always provided quiet support no matter the situation. She was also a terrific baker and crafter who loved to share her latest creations. She loved taking trips to Italy, and considered it the best place for

a vacation. We will always remember the wonderful times we spent as a family soaking up the sun on the Amalfi coast and hunting for the best slice of pizza. Mom, were going to miss your hilarious jokes and your steady presence in our life, and well always be grateful for everything you taught us. Her family would like to thank the nurses, doctors, and staff at

Royal Inland Hospital as well as at the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice. In lieu of flowers donations can be made in her memory to the BC

Cancer Foundation.
