Cat lovers will have to waitBy Martina Perry

The Northern View

Cat advocates hoping to receive financial support from the City of Prince Rupert to launch a trap, neuter and release program have to wait to find out the program’s fate after the issue was tabled at the last council meeting.

“At least it’s still on the table. For them to reconsider is really

rare [especially considering the financial position the city is],” Alice Kruta of the Cannery Row Animal Shelter Association said.

The decision was postponed until the next meeting, which is on Dec. 10, because of a shortage of councillors in attendance.

“This is a pretty big issue and I think it’s a discussion all of council should be involved in. Obviously there’s budget issues

we need to talk about… The more heads we have around the table, the better decision we will make,” councillor Anna Ashley explained at the meeting held on Nov. 26.

The request for a $7,500 matching grant to begin a trap, neuter and release program came from Prince Rupert SPCA Branch Manager Anna Terebka back in September, with the City originally denying the request.

McBride traffic light

wantedBy Martina Perry

The Northern View

The City of Prince Rupert and the Prince Rupert School District have requested that the Ministry of Transportation install a traffic light at the crossing on McBride Street and 9th Avenue to ensure young Prince Rupert pedestrians are safe.

City councillors and members of the board of education met recently to discuss some of the shared issues between the two groups including a traffic light on McBride, which is part of the Yellowhead Highway.

The City has sent a request to the Ministry of Transportation to consider putting in a light, following the increase in students crossing the highway with the amalgamation of the two high schools last year that left the lone high school on the east side and created a middle school for students from grade six to grade eight on the west side at the former PRSS site.

“Some sort of defined signal that would create more awareness [would be appropriate],” Mayor Jack Mussallem said.

“We have a fair amount of students that go back and forth across there to the middle school and we have lots of groups from [other schools] crossing there to go to the civic centre for different events,” Lynn Hauptman, S u p e r i n t e n d e n t for S.D. 52, said.

Hauptman also said the light would be helpful for traffic when the area is congested before and after school.

“It would be helpful not only for the people

walking to get safely across the road, but also for the people driving on 9th to get onto McBride,” said Hauptman.

The City is now waiting to hear back from the Ministry of Transportation on the matter. Whether a full traffic light, or pedestrian controlled crossing light is installed will be up to the province as it is on the highway.

Over the last week, students from Prince Rupert Middle School participated in a series of flash mob dances to take a stand against bullying. Various teams busted their moves all over the school at various times during the day. Teachers noted what started as an anti-bullying activity ended up also helping to build school spirit.

Prince Rupert feral cat defenders Alice Kruta and Kim St. Pierre stepped up and asked council to reconsider last month, and to look into licensing cats in the community as well as allowing groups to construct feeding stations around town.

If funded, the trap, neuter and release program would have volunteering individuals and groups bring cats they are looking after to the SPCA. The SPCA would have the cats spayed or neutered then return the animals to the volunteers, who would release the felines once they are healed.

The program would help local animal lovers, many of whom are seniors, who have been putting themselves in financial hardship paying for the cost of spaying and neutering out of their own pockets.

“Their hearts are in the right place and the strategy is there but the degree in which this needs to be done in order for it to have an affect on the population is where the SPCA steps in,” said Terebka.

If funded, Terebka said the program would slow the increase of feral and free roaming cats and would decrease the amount of diseases the cats have.

Terebka said if the program isn’t funded, the problem will only get worse.

“I hope this doesn’t lose momentum.”

Prince Rupert’s SPCA branch is currently taking care of 38 cats and kittens, which is nine cats over capacity.

“The shelter can only do so much. We struggle to take care of the animals we have as it is, so we have to depend on volunteers and local groups to help us and help the common vision,” Terebka said.

Although Terebka is disappointed it’s taking so long to find out if the program will be partially funded by the City, she said she’s excited councillor Ashley referred to it as a significant issue.

She’s not the only one excited to see the City recognize the severity of the matter.

St. Pierre, who previously ran the Pet Oasis out of her home, said she was upset the issue was tabled, but she understood why and is happy to see the City taking the topic more seriously.

St. Pierre has been pushing for a city-funded solution for years.

“I’ve made similar presentations to them to do a spay and neuter program in the downtown core and I got denied. I’ve been fighting this same battle for [two decades] and they’ve always turned their backs, turned a blind eye and didn’t believe me,” she said.

St. Pierre estimates over the years she’s spent $20,000 to $30,000 out of her own pocket on feral cats, spaying and neuter them, paying for food and even flying and

driving felines out of the area to be adopted.

In recent years she’s had to slow down with her efforts, but at the moment she is looking after a litter of kittens resinating in the downtown core.

“I’m praying the City says yes to the SPCA’s offer… I think they should take advantage it,” St. Pierre, who has nothing but positive things to say about Terebka, said.

Kruta, a founding member of Cannery Row Animal Shelter Association, moved to Port Edward three years ago and immediately noticed the alarming amount of feral and free roaming cats in the area. Kruta has been feeding and

nursing cats back to health since, currently taking care of 13 cats which is down from the 25 she was originally looking after.

Since forming, Cannery Row has received food donations which they distributed to people who were paying to feed feral and free roaming cats.

Kruta said she’s not disappointed the issue was tabled.

“It’s going to be a difficult decision for council because of all the nay-sayers and because of the budget, but I think they’re realizing if they don’t do something the crisis we’re already in will explode.”

Nancy and Gunther Golina, who

operate the Wildlife Shelter in the community, have also stepped up to help with the significant amount of stray cats, taking countless cats and kittens in over the years to help relieve the SPCA. Taking in domestic animals has meant more work for the already busy couple.

Before last week’s council meeting, less than a dozen people showed up for a candle light vigil Kruta organized in front of City Hall. At the vigil, people discussed their experiences with stray cats in the community, many sharing stories of stray cats being tortured and abused or relocated at locations on Highway 16 by frustrated residents.

Non-profits getting set for taxation

By Shaun Thomas The Northern View

With the end of the year quickly approaching, some groups in Prince Rupert are facing the spectre of having to pay municipal taxes for the first time after 20 per cent of their tax exemption was removed by council in September.

One of those groups is the Friendship House, who have been tax exempt since opening in 1958 but this year will have to pay $2,000 to the City of Prince Rupert. The organization offers a number of programs for Aboriginal people in the community, such as assistance for new or expecting mothers and young people.

“We’re very disappointed right now. This has to be the hardest year for us with the provincial and federal government cutting funds and reducing programs...

I don’t think council seriously considered the trickle down effect this has on people considering the work we do,” said executive director Farley Stewart, alluding to the loss of Planet Youth and cuts to Youth Program Street Spirit and Aboriginal Supported Child Development.

“We’ve had to cut back on a lot of our costs locally. We’re watching every dime that goes out the door this year.”

Prince Rupert Curling Club president Jamie Malthus said the organization is still coming up with a plan to pay the taxes, but that the additional costs haven’t been passed on to the members for this coming year as councillor Gina Garon had suggested.

“At this point we’re just going to proceed with payment, but in the end it comes down to how much money we

have in the bank,” he said.

“Taxes are due early in the new year, and we’ll really be addressing it then.”

Christine White of the North Coast Transition Society also said she will wait until tax time to see what happens.

One point of contention

for Stewart is that groups like the Friendship House and the Prince Rupert Curling Club, who presented a petition signed by 473 people and made a presentation at a council meeting respectively seeking exemption, have to pay taxes while the Prince Rupert Golf Club and the Prince Rupert

Racquet Society remain exempt.

“We don’t mind paying our fair share... For me if you want to be fair include everyone and not just pick and choose which groups won’t be exempt,” he said, adding that the Friendship House is out fundraising and continuing to offer a number of

programs. “We’re not going to

dwell on it. It is what it is, they made their choice, but it is disappointing.”

Other affected organizations include the salmon hatchery at Oldfield Creek, the seniors’ centre, Moose Lodge and the Aboriginal Justice Society.

coNstructIoN coNtINues…

It can’t be easy to tell people they have to take down something they have put their time, money and effort into building.

It must be even harder when the structure in question brings together a group of youth for some fresh air and exercise in a safe environment at a time when the Internet and the proliferation of smart phones makes face-to-face social contact outside of school that much more of a rarity among young people.

But when it comes to the decision to have the hockey rink in the Montgomery cul-de-sac removed (see Page 22) council made the right, although unpopular, decision.

To me, it all comes down to precedent. Had council allowed the structure, which was built without a construction permit and doesn’t meet City standards when it comes to proximity to the property line, to stand they would be inviting anyone in town to build anything they wanted any way they wanted without fear of repercussion. It would have essentially allowed anyone to say, “you let their project stay when procedure wasn’t followed, why can’t mine?’ And if council is to be fair, they need to make sure the rules that are in place are applied to everyone in town unless the proper process for a variance is followed.

Personally, I love the idea of a hockey rink in the backyard. It gets the kids off the streets, it gets them out of the house and exercising and it gives them a means of practising in the off-season. I hope the family comes back to council and is able to rebuild the rink in question in a manner that follows the City’s policies and bylaws and allows for input from those in the neighbourhood.

Because if last Monday’s meeting was any indication, the majority of people on the street are in favour of something like that for their children. And if it comes back to council with all the Is dotted and the Ts crossed and gets turned down, I’ll be among the first to voice my disagreement.

Being an elected official in a town the size of ours can’t be easy as the decisions you make are going to impact the people you see in the grocery stores and on the sidewalks, and they’re not going to always be popular. But in this case, I think council got it right.

Prince Rupert has let the feral and free roaming cat problem get out of hand and it’s going to take all kind of support to get it under control.

The City decided to table their decision to match SPCA funding for a trap, neuter and release program at the last council meeting and considering the financial state of the City and all of the cut grants, I have a hard time believing it will be.

However, I hope the SPCA and other local groups’ request can at least raise awareness in the community and make residents realize even if the City cannot help, they can.

Like many, I’ve always had a soft spot for abused, neglected, and abandoned animals. Whenever the commercial that flashes shots of sad looking cats and dogs, while Sarah McLachlan’s song plays comes

on I can’t help but shed a tear. How could that not pull at your heartstrings?

The truly sad part is there are so many cats in Prince Rupert that can’t even be put in the SPCA shelter because there is simply no room for them, so they’re left to fend for themselves.

The more cats and kittens adopted from the SPCA, the more room for other strays to be taken in and cared for, and hopefully later adopted out to a family that will love and take care of it.

The Prince Rupert SPCA is currently holding an adoption event where people wanting to take a cat or kitten home can get them for 50 per cent off. People wishing to adopt must still follow regular adoption procedures.

Many argue you can get cats for free nearly everywhere, which may be true, but included in the $125 cost to adopt a cat and $150 for a kitten is the cost to spay or neuter the animal, its first shots, de-worming and one free vet check

up which makes up for the cost. If you’re already an owner

of a cat that roams around outside, please make sure to spay or neuter them. It costs $110 to have a male neutered, and it prevents your little stud from impregnating a female, who could possibly not have a home. It costs $149 to have a female spayed before her first heat, and $179 after her first heat or litter, making it cheaper to do it as soon as possible while they’re young.

Prince Rupert is without a doubt a generous community. Residents have always been

willing to reach into their pockets in the past, and I hope in this case it’s no different.

The SPCA is a non-profit organization that relies on public donations to operate. Prince Rupert’s branch is always looking for financial support, as well as animal care, cleaning, and medical supplies.

The Prince Rupert Wildlife Shelter also helps relieve the local SPCA by taking in domestic animals, on top of caring for injured wild animals, and is run by volunteers who rely on donations.

Additionally, the Cannery Row Animal Shelter Association is calling out for donations of litter and food to help with the cost of taking care of feral cats.

Even if local leaders decide against funding the program, I hope residents step up and help get this issue under control.

Even if the City won’t help cats, you can

Feasibility studies lay project groundworkSeveral large re-

source companies have recently ex-

pressed interest in devel-oping terminals at the Port of Prince Rupert. Given the port’s many ad-vantages, it’s a sought-after location for getting Canadian commodities like natural gas to markets in Asia.

What isn’t well known is what happens when a company approaches the Prince Rupert Port Authority (PRPA) with a proposal to build a new terminal, such as those currently proposed by BG Group or Petronas.

The first step is a meeting between PRPA executives and company representatives. They discuss the general details of the project and identify a suitable site.

The project must be compatible with the Port Authority’s mission to generate commerce and increase the movement of goods through the Port of Prince Rupert. If it does, then both parties agree to reserve a property for a specific period of time while the company begins a process called a “feasibility study.”

You’ve probably heard that term before. But what exactly is a feasibility study and what does it involve?

The question is difficult to answer because no two projects are the same. As they relate to port-related commercial developments, feasibility studies involve the initial work carried out by a company to determine whether a site can be developed for commercial purposes, and whether its investment will have value down the road.

This work is paid for by the company seeking to build the new facility. In the end, it typically results in a lengthy report that summarizes the attributes of the physical site plus any environmental, technical, legal, economic and operational aspects of the project. It concludes with a recommendation about moving forward with the project.

A company usually pays a consulting firm to conduct the feasibility study. A “greenfield site” (undeveloped land)—such as the Ridley Island Industrial Site or Lelu Island—requires significantly more groundwork to acquire an understanding of what exists on the parcel of land. That means performing engineering surveys, taking samples and conducting ecological studies.

Once a framework for baseline conditions is complete, preliminary engineering designs may be drafted and a company can explore other components of the project.

A complete feasibility study is not just the preliminary physical work done on the land, but everything leading up to a company’s commercial decision to proceed with a project. That’s why these studies have estimated dates of completion that may be several years down the road, with very large price tags attached. There is just so much to consider.

Most companies continue to study the feasibility of a project even after beginning the regulatory requirement of an environmental assessment, because the nature of their business and global market conditions require that they forecast many years into the future.

Simply put, a feasibility study shows a company is serious about exploring the possibility of developing a project. But it is still a long way from a commitment to put shovels in the ground.

NwCC should look local for trainingThe following was received

as an open letter to Anne Rowse, NWCC Workforce Training and Continuing Students Program Officer.

My husband and I read in the Wednesday, November 28, 2012 edition of the Northern View about the 16 “high-end” courses of operating certificates and emergency duties related to the Marine Industry, which are now underway at the NWCC.

Why will a portion of these classes be taking place on Vancouver Island in the near future?

Capp’s Marine Education

has been in Prince Rupert for 10 years now, and providing premium high-end courses for operating certificates and emergency duties related to the Marine Industry.

The courses of instruction are

sanctioned by Industry Canada and Transport Canada Marine Safety, Ottawa. Providing these courses of instruction and certification is the exclusive reason for being in business. Capp’s Maine Education is a local business, right in downtown Prince Rupert.

So why are you and the NWCC taking business out of town, down south to Vancouver Island?

Why are you and the NWCC not keeping the training program here?

SincerelyElaine Calli

““Why will a portion of these classes

be taking place on Vancouver Island?”

Don’t give away our resourcesEditor:It is hard to get excited about Enbridge’s

controversial $6 billion dollar pipeline proposal in Northern British Columbia. Are a few short term jobs in the construction phase really worth the huge environmental impact for a life time?

On the other hand, the large multinational energy companies and state-owned petroleum companies such as Chinas three oil enterprises (CNOOC), (CNPC), Petro-Chine, Norways Stanoil, Koreas KOGAS, Japans JACOS, and others that have invested heavily into Canada’s oil and gas industry, need this pipeline.

Oddly, Alberta lobbied relentlessly to abandon Canadian Petro-Can’s Canadian oil investments, to do a complete turnaround, and sell their oil fields and tar sands to other countries and American oil companies. Clearly, there are too many foreign investors involved in Western Canada’s natural gas and heavy crude oil extractions. And, more foreign nations want in, because it has the potential to create many jobs back home by securing raw product for their huge refineries.

To be blunt, countries become deeply in debt, such as Canada and Untied States, when they sell complete control of their oil and gas reserves to large companies or to, incredibly enough, other countries. The small oil and natural gas royalties are nothing compared to the huge amount of money to be made in selling and processing fossil fuels.

Norway, for example, recently became the world’s richest country, and the country Russia, owns the largest oil company in the world, by

simply keeping ownership of their undeveloped oil that everyone wants.

Ottawa is finally stepping in to stop the free for all, and probably the priciest law in Canada’s political history was the abolition of the Foreign Investment Review Agency 25 years ago.

Apparently, British Columbia’s biggest reward from Enbridge’s pipeline might come from media mogul Dave Black’s multi-billion dollar Northern Gateway refinery proposal on the West Coast. Black has no oil experience and no investors; however nevertheless, he still wants to build a very expensive plant, to compete in a highly competitive oil refinery industry, far away from any oil industrial hub.

Prince Rupert received fantastic exposure when Inland Air was featured on a recent episode of The Big Decision. In the past couple of years we’ve also seen Canadian shows Dragon’s Den, Flavours of the West Coast, The Opener all shot in Prince Rupert. We also see a fairly steady stream of international shows. TPR worked on an episode of The Travel Guys shot here this summer.

Not all of these TV productions have a particular tourism focus, but it’s all good exposure. The more times Prince Rupert appears on television, the more other filmmakers are exposed to the opportunity.

I see it as a gradual process of awareness. Sure, one could produce expensive profiles that target the film industry, and slowly build relationships with individual producers. I don’t think that this could ever be as effective, or cost effective, as a producer seeing the destination actually work in other projects. A decade ago, when there was more money available for marketing, Prince Rupert had its own film commission. There were some successes at that time – my memory fails me as to the extent of this, but I do recall a TV commercial for Interac being shot at Cow Bay Café and other locations around town.

The goal, of course, is to make the gradual

transition to having a film, or television series, shot in the Northwest.

In an address to the International Conference on Impact of Movies & Television on Tourism, Hong Kong Commissioner for Tourism Margaret Fong began her comments by pointing out writers have always driven tourism – beginning (somewhat tenuously) with Marco Polo influencing

Columbus right through to the international phenomenon of Anne of Green Gables. “If a book can have such an impact, and a picture is worth a thousand words,” she said, “then the power of moving pictures is only limited by our imagination.” As she pointed out, “Movies even have the power to catapult less known destinations to the limelight as Slumdog Millionaire did for Dharavi. The ethics of such ‘reality tourism’ may be the subject of a separate debate but the impact of movies on tourism is evident.”

I’m sure that almost everyone is familiar with the effect of the Lord of the Rings trilogy on New Zealand tourism. That’s just one example. The figures can be truly staggering. In her book Film-Induced Tourism author Sue Beeton says, “While figures relating directly to the impact that films (both movies and television series) have on tourism are limited, there is still some impressive data. In

1978, the year after Close Encounters of the Third Kind was released, visitation to Devil’s Tower National Monument increased by a staggering 74%, while in a survey conducted 11 years after the film’s premiere, one-fifth of respondents attributed their initial knowledge of the monument to the movie.”

She also commented that in the 1980s US visits to Australia increased by over 20% per annum thanks at least in part to Mad Max, Crocodile Dundee and The Man from Snowy River. And “tourist interest in visiting the sites of the Western movie, Shane, was prevalent 40 years after its filming, and

that when television programmes move to syndication and Pay TV, they enjoy extended periods of public exposure.”

We do a certain amount of this work every year. In my time at Tourism Prince Rupert we have had success with Canadian and international productions. We’ve hosted crews from England, France and Australia, to name just a few. Special interest programs, such as those filmed in the Khutzeymateen, increase in number with each passing year. With television, our investment is low, and the potential pay-off is high.

Film and television works wonders for local tourism

By Martina Perry The Northern View

Charles Hays Secondary School (CHSS) students and staff are putting the final touches on this year’s theatrical production, Legally Blonde: The Musical.

Legally Blonde: The Musical was created by Heather Hach and is based off Amanda Brown novel and 2001 film with the same name. The musical follows bubbly-blonde sorority president Elle Woods (Caitlenn Bull), who is under the impression that her boyfriend Warner (Cyrus Sobredo) is going to propose to her over dinner, but instead he dumps her, stating he’s looking for someone more serious. In an attempt to win him back, Elle follows Warner to Harvard Law School, where to her dismay she discovers Warner has a new girlfriend, Vivienne (Zoey Hellfors).

Elle struggles to fit in at Havard, but with some help from new friends Emmett (Marcus Anderson) and Paulette (Hannah Komadina) she realizes she has a lot more to offer than being someone’s good looking

wife. “It’s a journey of self-

discovery and finding her self-worth,” said O’Toole.

All together 27 students will be acting and singing in the production, as well as cameos from two alumni, James McNish and Jasper Nolos. O’Toole said the cast is a high-energy group that doesn’t hold back.

“It’s great to see young people at their best and showing their talent. Sometimes teenagers get a bad wrap so it’s amazing to see what they can do when they come together,” O’Toole said.

Audience members can expect memorable moments from the movie version of Legally Blonde, such as Elle’s bend and snap trick, to be captured in musical numbers written by Nell Benjamin and Laurence O’Keefe. Musical director Tristan Fox will be leading a 12-piece band made up of current and former students from the district to create an authentic musical experience.

Additionally, many students featured in the performance had

the option of taking Musical Theatre as a course this year, which had them work on props and the set, as well as their roles in the play.

“It gives them more of an appreciation of all the work that goes into a production,” said

O’Toole.CHSS’ Legally Blonde: The

Musical will run for three nights at the Lester Centre of the Arts, starting on Thursday, Dec. 6 and running until Saturday, Dec. 8. Performances will start at 7:30 p.m. nightly.

“It’s going to be a great way to brighten a dreary Rupert evening,” O’Toole assured.

Look for a review of Legally Blonde: The Musical in next week’s issue of the Prince Rupert Northern View.

The Prince Rupert Concert Society will be presenting Canadian singer and songwriter Jesse Peters at the Lester Centre of the Arts later this month.

Peters has been on the Canadian music scene since 1998, getting rave reviews from well-known jazz artists Diana Krall and Ingrid Jensen along the way.

By the time Peters turned 21, he had released two critically

acclaimed recordings with the Peters Drury Trio, a group that toured all over North America during the eight years they were together.

Peter’s newest recording Face Time showcases the many influences Peter’s vocals and music have taken over the years. The recording features the classic swing sound Peters is known for with the Peters Drury Trio, as well as new sounding tunes that show off his impressive vocal capabilities.

Peters and band members Travis Switzer and Matthew Atkins will perform original tunes written over the past decade and classic songs that show off Peter’s vocal range. The trio has been travelling all over Canada over the past few months captivating audiences along the way.

Peters will perform at the Lester Centre of the Arts on Dec. 15, with the performance starting at eight p.m.

Tickets for the show are available at the Lester Centre.

Martina Perry/The Northern ViewHarley riders present Captain Gary Sheils with a cheque for $10,200 and more than 280 toys.

harley riders donate 281 toysBy Martina Perry

The Northern View

Just under 20 Prince Rupert Harley Riders arrived all at once in the parking lot of the Salvation Army on the evening of Nov. 27.

Riders disembarked to officially donate funds and toys collected for the 31st annual Toy Run held in October. This year 281 toys were collected, and $10,200 was raised for the Salvation Army Christmas Hamper program, which surpassed last year’s totals of 250 toys and $10,000.

“[The Harley Riders] are

like one big happy family,” said Norm Sklapsky, who has organized the event for four years, taking over after long time event organizer and club president Mark Desautels passed away.

“We like to go out and do our thing while raising money and collecting toys for the kids. That’s what it’s all about.”

The Toy Run accumulates funds through the poker run, and dance afterward, selling t-shirts, with Donna Wing spearheading sales this year, and rounding up donations from local businesses and people. Toys are collected as part of the admission to the

annual dances.Captain Sheils is forecasting

850 families, or 2,700 people, will use the Salvation Army’s Christmas Hamper program this year.

“When you consider the size of our town, 2,700 people is a lot,” he said.

So far the event has raised approximately $300,000 and more than 5,000 toys.

“Without help [from the riders] there’s no way we could put Christmas together for that many people. I can’t say how much I appreciate everything they do year after year,” Captain Sheils said.

AAnd the people oBritish Columbia have told us that we must exceed safety standards if it is to cross this beautiful province. We’ve heard their concerns

and have continually incorporated their feedback into our plans. We have added $500 million in extra safety measures–like thicker pipe, more isolation valves, meticulous pipeline construction techniques, and plans for around the clock monitoring by real people,

in real time, with sophisticated technology.

We will have advanced monitoring and response systems...Constant, diligent monitoring is vital for safe pipeline operation. Northern

Gateway will be monitored on-site and via the control centre 24/7, in

real time to allow operators to rapidly respond to any incidents. As

well, extensive geotechnical investigation and route planning

has taken place and this, combined with sophisticated

monitoring techniques, will provide protection against

geotechnical and other natural hazards. Pump stations in

remote areas will be staffed around the

clock. Dual leak detection systems

will be installed and remotely

operated isolation valves will be used,

increasing their number in BC by 50%.

We will use thicker pipe...Northern Gateway pipe will have

an average thickness of 0.80 inches.

That’s 20% over and above current

Canadian safety standard requirements

for the Northern Gateway Project. The pipe

will be even thicker when it crosses major rivers and tributaries.

It will be welded with exacting precision and its integrity checked

using ultrasonic inspection and hydrostatic testing methods. And

to ensure safe operation, the frequency of high resolution, in-line

inspection surveys will be increased across the entire pipeline system

by a minimum of 50% over and above current practices.

We will practice and be prepared for incidents...Our goal is always zero spills. To help achieve that, the

pipeline will be monitored from the air and the ground and

routinely inspected inside and out to identify and address

any integrity issues. But that doesn’t mean we will not

prepare for an incident. We will adhere to world-leading

practices for oil spill response and recovery systems. Emergency response equipment

and training will be provided and constantly updated and upgraded. Training exercises

with our own operations personnel and local emergency providers will be conducted on a

regular basis. Can we guarantee that there will never be a signifi cant pipeline failure? Our

original pledge to build a safe pipeline combined with further enhancements made after

hearing the concerns of British Columbians puts us closer than any other pipeline system

in the world to providing that guarantee.

We will respect wildlife habitats and migration routes... To address concerns from the public that the construction of the pipeline will affect the

environment, we have pledged to build it in such a way that natural wildlife habitats,

migration routes and fi sh spawning sites will be respected. During the building phase,

disturbances will be kept to a minimum by having construction vehicles access most of

the pipeline using existing forestry roads. Instead of building all new bridge structures, it

will use existing watercourse crossings where possible. When construction is completed

on each section, soil will be returned and shrubs and grasses native to the region will be

planted. If any large trees are removed to make way for the pipeline, a new tree will be

planted in another location as part of Enbridge’s commitment to plant a tree for every

tree we remove to build our projects.

Northern Gateway will be one of the safest energy pipelines because it’s been designed by engineers, safety experts and the people of British Columbia.

It’s more than a pipeline. It’s a path to delivering energy safely.

Last week, in this space, I talked about why we chose Kitimat as the site for Gateway’s marine terminal. This week, I’d like to discuss the various steps we’ve taken to prevent an incident on water, and the measures we’ve put in place to build a comprehensive marine safety plan for Gateway.

Safety starts with a tanker acceptance program that’s as stringent as any in existence — and includes an independent review of all tankers, weeks ahead of their scheduled arrival. Tankers mooring at the terminal will be double-hulled and no more than 20 years old, and will be required — by independent third parties, before they enter Gateway’s shipping channels — to show a sound maintenance and operational history. As they approach Kitimat, all vessels will be boarded and guided by B.C. Coast Pilots with expert knowledge of our coastal waters.

Simulations conducted in varying weather conditions have shown that the largest tankers can be safely navigated without the help of tugboats. Still, Gateway is adding a tug-escort system as an additional safety measure. The Douglas Channel is already one of the deepest and widest inland waterways on North America’s west coast, and Gateway’s tug-escort

system, according to risk assessment data, would reduce the already unlikely chance of a grounding incident by a further 80 to 90 per cent.

As another Gateway marine safety initiative, we’re introducing land-based radar to B.C.’s North Coast for the fi rst time. This radar system will be bolstered by extra navigational aides such as lights and channel markers. These enhancements aren’t just for Gateway — they are for all vessels on B.C.’s North Coast.

Groups who oppose this project use fear tactics. They’d have you believe an oil tanker spill is inevitable. It isn’t. But don’t take my word for it — visit our website and read for yourself about all the work that has gone into making Gateway’s marine operation one of the safest in the world. Then, decide for yourself what’s true.

Following in the footsteps of the Mount McDonald and Mount Hays wind farm proposals, Sea Breeze Power Corp of Vancouver is pursuing a possible development in the Prince Rupert area.

The company is planning to install a total of five towers, three across the harbour and two in the area across from Seal Cove near Shawatlan Lake, to gather meteorological information over the next year. The company is proposing the use of tubular meteorological towers to gather the information.

If the gathered data is “encouraging”, the company would then install additional towers to model wind speeds across the site.

However, Sea Breeze Power president and CEO Paul Manson said it is still far too early in the process to be talking about a wind farm on the north coast.

“If someone is interested in development, they have to apply to the government for an investigative

use permit. We’re asking for the right to test the quality of the wind in the area... We don’t know what the quality of wind there is. You can do a lot of arm-chair studies, but until you test the wind on-site you don’t know because there are a lot of topographical and regional considerations and computer models can be quite crude,” he said, noting that the company believes there could be a strong wind resource in the area and it is close to a transmission source.

“It took 11 years between filing a similar permit request and construction for a similar project on northern Vancouver Island.”

Should the project go ahead, each tower would be between 80 and 10 metres tall with three 30 to 65 metre blades. The energy produced would be sold back into the BC Hydro grid.

Sea Breeze Power is currently involved in the development of four other wind energy projects in BC, including the Cape Scott Wind Farm north of Port Hardy.

Prince Rupert’s airport has seen a slight increase in passenger traffic in 2012.

“We have been continuing the two to three per cent increase year over year, which is reasonable when you look at airports across Canada. With

exceptions like Vancouver and Montreal most are showing negative growth or are up two to three per cent,” Rick Reed, manager of YPR, said.

Reed believes the increase can be attributed to the “buoyant economy and bright future ahead”.

“It’s mostly due to… the influx of business people and investors looking at Prince Rupert,” said Reed.

Pictured above, Charles Hays student Lucas Statham shows Martin Aboriginal Education Initiative program directors Carlana Lindeman and Pat Rose his idea for a small business he has created in his Aboriginal Entrepreneurship class.

Lucas’s idea is to make bracelets out of parachute cord that men and women can wear and undo to create 10 feet of rope if needed. The bracelets can also be made with fishing line and

a small hook woven in. Charles Hays was the pilot school

in Western Canada for the course five years ago and it is now offered in two other BC schools and several in other Provinces throughout the country. Lindeman and Rose said they were very happy with how the course has continued to grow at Charles Hays and at how creative and realistic all of the students’ small business ideas were. The team purchased Luca’s prototype to take back to former Prime Minister Paul Martin, creator and sponsor of the program.

My Mountain Co-op will purchase ShamesBy Rod Link

Black Press

My Recreational Mountain Coop says it can go ahead and purchase the Shames Mountain Ski facility from current owners, the Shames Mountain Ski Corporation, now that a combination of a debt forgiveness and a loan payment plan worth close to $700,000 has been worked out with the provincial government.

The non-profit regional co-op struck a purchase deal with the ski corporation last year, but it was held in abeyance pending a debt resolution with the provincial government.

The ski corporation owed the province $429,010 for an outstanding tourism development loan taken out more than 20 years ago plus

$108,672 in outstanding interest.

It also owed the province $88,579 in unpaid royalties and $46,767 in unpaid interest tied to the royalties, amounts which were taken on by the co-op as part of the sales arrangement.

The debt forgiveness deal for the tourism loan calls for the ski corporation to pay the province $125,000 in return for the province writing off the remainder of the loan amount and forgiving the

interest.The province will also

write off the $46,767 unpaid interest tied to the unpaid royalties.

In return, the ski co-op will pay off the $88,579 in unpaid royalties on a payment schedule stretched out over the next 10 years.

The payment schedule includes interest of prime plus 1.5 per cent.

“The resolution of these items means that My Mountain Co-op can now close the purchase agreement and proceed with the operation of the hill into the future,” said co-op founding director Curtis Billey.

“It also means the co-op can now apply to have the [land] tenure transferred to it. This is a great way to kick off the 2012-13 season at Shames.”

The co-op operated Shames last year on a lease arrangement with the ski corporation.

Provincial forests minister Steve Thomson, the minister responsible for the forgiveness plan, said the alternative was for the ski corporation to declare bankruptcy.

If that happened, the province would have ended up with the ski hill assets and the task of disposing of them, he said.

The co-op was formed in response to the ski corporation saying it was contemplating closing down because it could not financially break even.

My Mountain Co-op currently has more than 1,000 members and continues to draw support from area businesses, individuals and corporations.

Wednesday, december 5, 2012 THe nOrTHern VIeW - PaGe 19WWW.THenOrTHernVIeW.cOmPrInce ruPerT nOrTHern VIeW


Perhaps it was the holiday spirit, but after participating in the Winterfest Parade and posing for photos with fans earlier in the day the Prince Rupert Rampage put on their strongest showing yet on Saturday night as they downed the powerhouse Kitimat Ice Demons 6-1.

The Rampage opened the scoring in the game early, as captain Jared Meers put one by Kitimat’s Tyson Craven just 98 seconds into the game Terry Whelan of the Demons responded less than two minutes later to tie things up at one, but the rest of the period and indeed the game would belong to Prince Rupert. With 10:15 to play Justin Fontaine regained the lead for Prince Rupert and a shorthanded goal by Josh Kierce with just 1:05 left on the clock put the Rampage up 3-1 leading into the second period.

In the second Rampage goalie Keano Wilson held his ground through an early Kitimat onslaught and just over halfway though the period Kory Movold found the back of the net on the powerplay to make it 4-1 for Prince Rupert. That would be the only goal in the second, giving the fans at the Jim Ciccone Civic Centre plenty to cheer about heading into the final 20 minutes of play.

In the third the Rampage continued to keep up the pressure on the western-division leading Demons. With 11:05 to play Meers scored his second of the night with a wrist shot from in front just before he was hauled down by the Demon defensemen. That fifth goal would spell the end of the night for Kitimat’s Craven, who was replaced between the pipes by Daniel Pellan. But not even Pellan could shut the door on Prince Rupert, as Kierce went low glove-side on the powerplay

with 4:15 to go. When the final buzzer sounded the Rampage celebrated their first home win of the season in front of a raucous crowd and saluted their fans as they left the ice.

The win puts the Rampage tied with the Houston Luckies at five points for the final playoff spot in the league, though there is still a lot of hockey to play. The Smithers Steelheads remain undefeated so far this season and at 11-0 to lead the league with 22 points, followed by the Ice Demons at 20 points and the Williams Lake Stampeders at 17 points.

The Rampage will take to the ice again this Saturday against division rivals the Terrace River Kings, who were off last weekend but enjoy a four-point lead over Prince Rupert in the standings.

Look for complete coverage of that game in next week’s issue of the Prince Rupert Northern View.

Shaun Thomas/The Northern ViewPrince Rupert’s Austin Weir looks to set up the play in midget rep action against Smithers.


Two of Prince Rupert rep teams faced off with the Smithers Storm this weekend, but were unable to pick up a victory on the ice.

MidgetsOn Saturday Smithers’ Bobby

Joe Love opened the scoring just over halfway through the first, which was followed less than three minutes later by a Ross Dubeck goal to give Smithers a 2-0 lead. But Prince Rupert captain Jordan Aubee put the Seawolves on the board with just under four minutes to play, making it 2-1 leading into the second.

And Aubee just kept coming,

tying things up with 18:10 to play and completing the natural hat trick with 12:11 to go to give Prince Rupert the 3-2 lead. Smithers’ Owen Rowsell made it 3-3 with 2:42 to go, setting up an exciting finish.

But early in the third Smithers scored three goals in less than four minutes to take a 6-3 lead, and while Brett Carey would tally a goal with 5:42 to go it was too little too late as Smithers took a 6-4 victory.

The following day Smithers came out firing on all cylinders and amassing a 4-0 lead through the first 20 minutes. Prince Rupert would lessen the gap with a pair of goals by Aubee with 19:10 and 17:43 to play, but two goals in 20 seconds by Smithers’

Owen Rowsell would put the game out of reach as Smithers would score once more in the third to take a 7-2 win.

BantamsAfter losing 9-3 on Saturday,

the bantam reps looked for revenge on Sunday.

Smithers’ Riley Coish picked up the lone goal of the first period and three goals in less than 90 seconds had the Seawolves down 4-0 early in the second. But the team rallied back on a natural hat trick by Tyler Matalone who scored with 15:24 and 2:03 left to play in the second and again with 14:53 to go in the final frame to pull Prince Rupert to within one. But Smithers tallied four goals in just over two minutes midway through the third to win 8-3.

rainmakers compete in provincialsBy Shaun Thomas

The Northern View

Prince Rupert’s senior boys volleyball squad started strong in the provincial championships in Kelowna, going 2-1 in Wednesday’s pool-play day.

The Rainmakers started the day playing Vernon, but fell in straight sets 25-17 and 25-19.

However that would be the last set the team lost for the remainder of the day. Later that afternoon Charles Hays swept Prince Charles Secondary of Creston 25-13 and 25-22 before going on to defeat Cambie Secondary 25-16 and 25-18.

On Thursday morning the Rainmakers faced off against Duchess Park of Prince George in the opening round of the tournament. The team from Prince George proved to be too much for Prince Rupert, as Duchess Park took the game in three straight sets 25-13, 25-8 and 25-13.

On Thursday afternoon the Rainmakers took to the court against Clarence Fulton High School of Vernon in the first round of the consolation bracket. As with the game against

Duchess Park, the southern team defeated Charles Hays in straight sets 25-11 and in a second set that came down to the wire and ended 25-23 for Vernon.

On Friday morning the Rainmakers faced off with Prince Charles Secondary in an elimination match. Prince

Charles won the first set 25-12, while Charles Hays took the second set 25-12 to set-up a third and deciding set to 15. The Creston squad, though, proved to be too much for Prince Rupert as Prince Charles won it 10-15 to eliminate the Rainmakers from the tournament.

With the Christmas break coming up, the days of the current Port Edward school are coming to an end.

The school, which houses approximately 60 students in two floors worth of classrooms, will have its last day as an educational institution on Dec. 21 when the kids go home for the holidays. When classes resume on Jan. 7, students will be reporting to the new school located at the municipal office.

This week, with construction complete on the new three-classroom facility, furniture and equipment were being brought in as the finishing touched were made. Books sat in boxes in the new library space, which will serve both the school and the community and training was being done on the heating and cooling system in a room off of the kitchen in the old community centre in preparation for a grand opening some time this month.

“It’s going to be a great space for us,” said Superintendent Lynn Hauptman.

“The current site is such a large school, but the population of the school has been shrinking so a lot of the classrooms are filled with stuff from years ago... This new school really is a win-win for everyone, for the school district and the District of Port Edward.”

But before the bell rings at the old school for the final time, administration is planning an evening for the community to come out and see the building off into whatever it’s new role may be. Principal Deb Taylor is planning a parent and community night on Dec. 18 to celebrate the holidays and say farewell to the school.

What happens with the old building on Sunset Drive, however, may be up to the province of BC.

“What we hope will happen is, once the kids are in the new school, the School District would write a letter to the province saying they

no longer need the property and have an interested party... Once it is hopefully transferred to us, council will decide what to do with the property,” said District of Port Edward CAO Ron Bedard.

“They don’t have the money to tear the building down, and we don’t want an eyesore in the middle of the community.”

However, it should be noted that earlier attempts to sell or lease closed schools such as Kanata and Seal Cove have been turned down by the provincial government.

Pipeline toll pitchedBy Tom Fletcher

Black Press

The B.C. government is considering following the lead of Washington state and putting a toll on pipelines to fund better leak prevention and spill response programs.

Environment Minister Terry Lake announced Wednesday that the government is seeking public and industry input into a new plan to ensure a “polluter pay” system for oil and gas pipelines and other forms of hazardous material transport.

“For instance in the state of Washington, a five-cent a barrel tax is applied to the owner of the oil product received into a storage tank,” Lake said. “Four cents of that is put into an oil spill prevention account, and another one cent into oil spill response account.”

He added that this applies to the Trans Mountain pipeline that moves oil from Alberta to tanker port at Burnaby and carries on south to supply Washington state refineries. The state toll applies to all oil crossing the U.S. border.

Brenda Kenny, president of the Canadian Energy Pipelines Association, said the industry supports the concept of polluter pay and is looking forward to discussing the toll proposal and other suggestions.

Lake said the initiative is not tied to the Enbridge Northern Gateway.

A hockey rink constructed by a Montgomery Road family will have to be torn down, city council ruled on Nov. 26.

Montgomery Road is a largely-family based neighbourhood full of young hockey players who, like countless other Canadian children, would take to the streets to play their favourite game.

Homeowners Terena and Jonathan Stegavig built a deck onto the back of their home on their pie-shaped property on Montgomery Road and converted it into a rink by installing HockeyShot dry land flooring tiles, with boards and netting surrounding the structure. The Stegavig’s built the 19’ by 34’ hockey rink above their cement dog pen so their children and other kids in the neighbourhood could have a safe place to play off of the cul-de-sac.

However, the Stegavigs weren’t aware a building permit was required to create the deck until a neighbour complained to the City and the building inspector arrived at their property.

The homeowners learned the structure was encroaching in the space at the edge of their property that was suppose to be left empty. Under one of the community’s zoning bylaws, rear yard setbacks require a minimum distance of three metres from the rear property

line, with the Stegavig’s structured being constructed .09 metres it.

“I thought I was following all the rules… I made a mistake and didn’t get a permit, but it was completely out of my own ignorance. I didn’t think I needed one. I think I should be issued a fine [for not having a permit] and I have no problem paying it,” Terena Stegavig told the Prince Rupert Northern View.

To avoid having to remove the deck, the family tried to purchase a strip of land behind their property that would have placed the structure in compliance, but the City denied the request.

Then the homeowners were told to apply for a Development Variance Permit, a required permit when a proposed development doesn’t meet requirements of regulating bylaws.

To show the amount of neighbourhood support the rink had, the Stegavig’s collected a number of letters regarding the hockey rink that stated it added to the greatness of the family neighbourhood and kept children safe from traffic.

One neighbour, whose children often utilized the rink, mentioned having an enclosed space for neighbourhood kids to play hockey in meant pucks and balls wouldn’t be damaging people’s parked vehicles and rocks and gravel wouldn’t be flying through the air with every swing of hockey sticks.

However the neighbour closest to the structure did have issues and made those known at the council meeting held on Nov. 26.

Bill de Jong told council the size of the rink was a concern to him, as was all of the noise coming from it.

“I wouldn’t like to see the City [tell people what they can and can’t do on their decks] but there is a point where you have to consider how much it’s going to bother your neighbours,” said de Jong.

“If this was done correctly and a permit was drawn we wouldn’t be here because it would’ve been denied. I don’t believe this variance should be rectified after the fact. Everyone should get permits and follow the procedure.”

Terena Stegavig said she was surprised when the de Jongs spoke to council because she says they had been in contact after the initial complaint and thought the issue was resolved.

Prince Rupert City Planner Zeno Krekic presented a report to council that echoed de Jong’s statement, stating the City wouldn’t have supported it based on the location of the deck and the fact that the property is large enough to have a hockey rink in an appropriate spot that follows city bylaws.

Krekic’s report recommended the variance permit should be denied, but said moving the rink to another spot on the property to follow guidelines could be a possible solution to keep the

enclosed hockey rink in the neighbourhood.

The decision was difficult for many councillors, including Anna Ashley and Jennifer Rice.

“I can see both sides. I understand people trying to provide recreational opportunities for their children in a safe environment, but I also understand following the rules and making sure everything follows guidelines and to be able to mitigate concerns before hand instead of after the fact,” Ashley said.

“[The hockey rink] clearly provides recreation for children in the neighbourhood… There’s an important learning here in that this would not be such a complicated process if a permit had been taken out from the very get go,” said Rice.

The Stegavig’s are in contact with city workers and are looking for another remedy to avoid having to pay to modify the rink. If there isn’t, they will apply for a permit to move the rink 34 inches.

“It’s a pretty expensive mistake,” said Terena Stegavig.

An hour to appreciate them, a day to love them.

But, then an entire life to forget them.There is a man in heaven

that is a part of me.It is not where I wanted him

But where God needed him to be.He was here for a short time

Like a night time shooting star.And though he is in Heaven

He is not very far.He touched the hearts of many

Like only he could do.I would have held him every second

If the end I only knewSo I send a special message,

to Heaven up above.Please take care of my Kit,And send him all my love.
