Another company considers LNG terminalBy Shaun Thomas

The Northern View

A second major gas company has begun looking at Prince Rupert for the site of an LNG export terminal.

PETRONAS, a Malaysian state-owned oil and gas company, announced it would be conducting a feasibility study for an export terminal in Prince Rupert at the same time it announced plans to purchase Canada’s Progress Energy Resources Corp. for $4.8 billion. PETRONAS joins the BG Group in undertaking a feasibility study for an LNG export terminal in Prince Rupert, though this time Ridley Island isn’t the focal point.

“The site PETRONAS is looking at is on

the Lelu Island industrial site, just a stone’s throw from where the BG Group would set up their LNG facility,” explained Prince Rupert Port Authority spokesperson Michael Gurney, adding that the port authority is excited about this development because of the PETRONAS’ international standing in the energy industry.

“We’ve been looking at this for a few months, having conversation and pre-feasibility talks, and I’m pleased that we’ve reached the point where the company is considering a feasibility study and is releasing this good news to the public.”

According to a statement from the company, in addition to a feasibility agreement being signed with the port

authority, more work has been taking place behind the scenes.

“We have begun engagement with relevant authorities and First Nations, as well as community groups, and we look forward to working closely with them in the course of our site investigation,” said Datuk Anuar Ahmad, Executive Vice President of the gas and power business for PETRONAS.

“A key consideration in our investigation will be understanding the environmental and social impacts as well as ascertaining technical feasibility.”

As for any time line or more information on the project, Gurney said it is too early to say.

The City is one step closer to building a new wharf for the yachts that often tour the Alaskan theatre every summer, but almost never stop in Prince Rupert because there aren’t many places for them to dock.

At their meeting on Monday, City Council decided to support a grant application being made by the Prince Rupert and Port Edward

Development Corporation to the West Coast Community Adjustment Program (WCCAP); a federal funding program for improving the quality of life in west coast communities.

The development corporation is hoping that the WCCAP will give them $250,000 to put towards building a 700-foot-long floating wharf on the Cow Bay waterfront. The new dock is part of the Prince Rupert Port Authority’s waterfront improvement

project for Cow BayAbout 1,200 itinerant yachts sail

past Prince Rupert every year without ever stopping here. It’s believed the reason for this is that the city only has 10 slips that yachts can dock at. If the new wharf is built it will add an additional 32. The hope is that the additional space will attract the yachts – and their passengers’ money – to town.

“We understood that there is a number of itinerant yachts that cruise past Prince Rupert every year due to a lack of moorage...This is a significant lost opportunity for our community and for our boutique retailers, restaurants and grocery

stores,” said Derek Baker from the development corporation.

By charging $50 to $60 for a place to park luxury boats, the dock is expected to bring in almost $300,000 and introduce an additional $1.2-million to $2.5-million in tourist spending at the city’s restaurants and stores.

But the dock is expected to cost $1.7-million to actually build and the grant application to the WCCAP is just one of many sources of funding being explored. Money is also being sought after from the Provincial Gaming funds, Western Economic Diversification, Coast Sustainability Trust and the City itself.

The City’s contribution to the project is expected to be about $311,000 provided that the other sources of funding work out, and it will be contributing $250,000 from its available Gas Tax revenue that is set aside for municipalities to draw from to fund projects like this.

“If we in fact get $300,000 from the wharf, it will take us just three years to get our money back, which is pretty darn good,” said councilor Joy Thorkelson.

One issue that hasn’t been worked out yet though is who gets the dock’s revenue and how much. The Prince Rupert Port Authority is expected to contribute $75,000, which Baker expects will mean that some kind of partnership and profit-sharing agreement will have to be drawn up between them and the City.

There’s also a chance that the local yacht club will be charged with managing the dock, in which case another profit sharing agreement will likely be necessary.

City Manager Gord Howie also suggested that the City ask other organizations and people in the community if they would want

to contribute money for the wharf, which would reduce the City’s required share of the contributions.

“The Prince Rupert Port Authority regularly entertains a wide array of development proposals including new terminals and facilities opportunities within the Port complex suitable for consideration within its industrial property holdings, but the PRPA does not comment on the details of any potential project at this early stage of site and feasibility assessment,” he said.

“At this point, it is too early in PETRONAS’ assessment of the project to provide further comment on PETRONAS’ interest and intent in developing an LNG export terminal at the Port of Prince Rupert, British Columbia.”

NEW LISTING

NEW LISTING

By Alan S. Hale The Northern View

You may eventually be able to keep laying hens in your backyard in Prince Rupert, just not any time soon.

City council has decided to add the idea, which was proposed by NWCC student Samantha Lewis in March, to its to-do list. That said, it will likely be several months before council gets around to looking at it again.

Lewis’ proposal is to allow Rupertites to keep up to four chickens in their back yard for their eggs, provided they get a license to do so from the City and follow all the regulations regarding the housing, care and eventual disposal of their chickens.

When Lewis brought her proposal to the city council she included a fully written amendment to the City’s bylaw that prohibits raising livestock inside city limits.

Lewis even worked out her own system for the licensing of and regulation of chicken ownership in the community including coop specifications, zoning and location restrictions and even fines for those found in violation of the rules.

Despite the work and research that Lewis put into her proposal, Prince Rupert’s city planner Zeno Krekic says that changing the rules to allow chickens will take more work than amending just the livestock bylaw. This is because Prince Rupert doesn’t have just one animal bylaw like some other communities do, it has a couple bylaws that deal with different aspects of animal ownership and they would all have to be changed.

So, aside from the livestock bylaw, the City will also have to make changes to the zoning bylaw as well. The only bylaw the City has that governs the licensing of domestic animals is one that only applies to dogs and the City’s regulatory staff haven’t even begun to look at what would need to be done to implement a licensing system.

“It suffices to say that a substantial amount of time will have to be dedicated to drafting and adopting the above noted instruments, as they will have to pass before your selves,” Krekic told the city council.

“Substantial amount of time means about 80 to 100

hours to execute this entire set of circumstances, that’s my estimate. That means about two weeks of work over six to eight months.”

While many of the councillors appeared to support the idea for allowing backyard chickens, most were reluctant to have city staff dedicate a lot of time to working on it because the City has an entire list of priorities it wants to get through this year.

“I think it would be great to test it publicly with a public hearing, but I’m not in great hurry right now. I know Mr. Krekic has other things on his plate that we need to get working on. We have to prioritize what we want Mr. Krekic to do, and I really don’t think this needs to be very high on that list,” said councilor Gina Garon.

Other councilors echoed that sentiment and city manager Gord Howie said that the chicken issue wouldn’t be going on the City’s to-do list until something else came off it.

For her part, Lewis says she’s just happy that council has decided give the idea some serious consideration, despite how long they might take to get around to it.

“As long as it’s on the go, it’s awesome. Even if they had said no, I’m so happy to have the dialogue raised. Food sustainability and food security is going to be more and more prevalent in the years to come, and I think we need to keep working towards making ourselves a more sustainable community,” says Lewis.

If Prince Rupert did decide to allow backyard chickens, it wouldn’t be the first in the region to do so. Terrace recently decided to allow chickens and Smithers considered it, but never went ahead with it.

Councillors wondered if they could save time by, instead of having city staff draft up completely new bylaw amendments specifically for Prince Rupert, just borrowing bylaws from other communities and altering them slightly to fit the city better. It was also suggested that they get proponents or opponents to volunteer their time to do the background research instead of having staff do it.

Lewis says that she took much of her p r o p o s e d

chicken bylaw from other communities and says that she would be happy to do any more research on the issue for the council if that’s what they want.

“Where I’m at with the whole chicken thing is that anything they need from me, whether its helping research bylaw amendments or if its hosting chicken workshops for people on the same page, that’s definitely something I’m interested in,” said Lewis.

Not everyone is in favour of the allowing chickens though. Besides some residents who have approached councilors with concerns, the Prince Rupert SPCA has told council that they are against the idea.

While the BC SPCA is supportive of people looking for alternatives to factory-farmed eggs, they encourage people to buy eggs from SPCA certified cageless farmers rather than raise chickens themselves.

In a letter to city council in April, former Prince Rupert SPCA manager Lindsay Vincent says that they simply do not have the resources to take in surrendered chickens, The BC SPCA also has concerns about the nutrition of commercially available bird seed, enforcement of humane conditions, risk of predator attacks and access to proper veterinary care.

Prince Rupert is moving closer to an air-quality monitoring station following the successful installation of a meteorological station on Roosevelt Elementary.

The new station, the first to be installed in the province since 2006, is 10 metres tall and has instruments to measure wind speed and direction, temperature and relative humidity. The Prince Rupert Port Authority will use the information collected from the station to model atmospheric distribution of emissions from ships, trains and vehicles and, along with the BC Ministry of Environment, use that data to determine the best place for a new air quality monitoring station. The Prince Rupert Port Authority had committed to creating a baseline air quality profile in order to map any changes that come with future development and taking steps to address it.

“Our partnership with MoE on this project is an example of our ongoing effort to improve the sustainability of Port operations. The establishment of an air quality monitoring station

will help us maintain the high quality of life that residents in Prince Rupert currently enjoy and expect in the future,” said Jason Scherr, Manager of Environmental Sustainability with the Prince Rupert Port Authority.

Roosevelt was chosen for the station, installed last week after failed attempts to install it in February and March,

because it was determined to be the best location due to its height, distance from Mount Hays an unobstructed perimeter. Unlike the station located on top of City Hall, data from the Roosevelt station will be transmitted to directly the Ministry of Environment through the Prince Rupert School District network.

The readings from the station can be found online at http://www.bcairquality.ca/readings/index.html

OPINIONNorth Coast

Schools across the community and around the province are now out as students prepare for a break from their studies during the summer months.

This also means that Prince Rupert has concluded its first year in decades with a single high school following the merge of Prince Rupert Secondary School and Charles Hays Secondary School in September. During the debate about a single-school model for secondary students in Prince Rupert I was firmly on the side of moving in that direction, and a year later I can’t say that has changed.

When I graduated from high school in Kitimat, it was from a single school and it was nice that everyone of the same age group was in the same place partaking in the same activities. It really helped increase the sense of community, not just among the students and parents but throughout town.

For instance, when it came to supporting fundraisers for band or sports or grad, everyone was rallying around one group. At the time Kitimat was about the same size as Prince Rupert is now - about 12,700 in 1996/1997 when Eurocan and Methanex were still in full swing - and it made it easy to get things done for the school as opposed to splitting the funds as was done last year in Prince Rupert.

It also puts the staffing and equipment resources of the district in one place. The issue of teachers or students having to move to teach or take a class is no more, which can only be a good thing.

The talent of the students are put into one concerted effort when it comes to sports (three of four basketball teams made provincials) or arts (Chicago was awesome!) or any

other venture. Having students work as a team as opposed to opposition is also great to see.

And seeing all of Prince Rupert’s graduates looking to a bright future on the same stage during one graduation ceremony was certainly more impactful than seeing one of two graduating classes take the stage.

While I haven’t had as much exposure to the middle

school, it seems like the students have also come together this year, and I would say having students share experiences from grades six to 12 helps to create a sense of community.

Yes there are still issues resulting from the amalgamation of the school, such as finding competition for the grade seven and eight teams at Prince Rupert Middle School, but I would say so far so good.

MY VIEW…

Looking back at a single high school

Kwinitsa Station Railway Museum now stands in a spot very significant to the railway history of Prince Rupert, the location of CN Dock, though that was not its original home.

It once stood halfway between here and Terrace, and the story of its construction and ultimate move to Prince Rupert serves as a reminder of how vital the railway was in opening Northwestern BC and creating the City of Prince Rupert.

The little white station with its distinctive bell-cast roof was one of hundreds of virtually identical stations built along the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway between Winnipeg and Prince Rupert. Today it is one of only four surviving. It was built in 1911, one of the so-called “Type E” stations. The Grand Trunk Pacific had six basic designs, “A” through “F,” of which the Type E was the most common.

It was built three years before the last spike was driven at Fort Fraser in 1914. The

construction of the Grand Trunk Pacific in British Columbia, undertaken largely in a bid to attract government concessions, was a haphazard and mismanaged affair - “the story of a thousand blunders,” as it was famously described in 1909 by pioneer Prince Rupert newspaperman John Houston. By 1919 the railway had collapsed, and was taken under the Department of Railways and Canals pending the creation of the Crown Corporation the Canadian National Railway.

Under CN the rail line and city found its purpose, connecting with the steamships and creating a transportation hub for the settlements and industry of the Northwest Coast. This was the era when Rupert became the “Halibut Capital of the World,” and the

little stations such as Kwinitsa were a vital part of the network. The station agents, “were literally the ‘eyes and ears’ of the railroad,” in the words of Phylis Bowman. “Ready to take train orders to relay to passing trains and reporting train movements and conveying train orders from the dispatcher to the train crew, the agents were an independent indispensable part of railroad operations.”

The small stations grew redundant in the second half of the 20th century with the introduction of a Central Traffic Control system. Realizing that not just Kwinitsa, but a whole way of life in the little stations along the western line was at risk of being lost and forgotten, Prince Rupert residents began to discuss ways of saving Kwinitsa.

Ron Denman, then curator of the Museum

of Northern BC, formally requested the City of Prince Rupert acquire the station and move it to Prince Rupert to become a railway museum, and a Kwinitsa Relocation Committee was subsequently formed of Ron Denman, Dr. L.M. Greene, John Marogna, Jack Mussallem, Larry Valentin, Nancy Wilson, and Bert Woodcock. By the time the move actually took place, the station perched on a barge behind the tug Coast Isle with Jack Mussallem at the helm, a staggering number of local businesses and individuals had thrown their support behind the project. Kwinitsa Station arrived on the Prince Rupert waterfront, at the site of the old CN Dock, on Canada Day 1985.

Today the popular Kwinitsa Station Railway Museum is administered by the Museum of Northern BC, and houses exhibits celebrating the life of the railway families, and the very early history of Prince Rupert as a railway town.

about the proposed Pinnacle Pellets Westview Terminal.

Like many others in the community I am not opposed to the plant per se but I am concerned about locating it so close to a residential community, with it’s attendant noise and dust. The silos will be visible for miles, not only blocking views but blocking access to the waterfront. The proposed site is in front of the only residential area that has direct access to the waterfront.

Prince Rupert is a community in transition and while exporting natural resources and their by-products is, and will continue to be, an important part of the local economy, employment is limited as the goods are in transit. Prince Rupert needs to diversify its economic base and, in my opinion, developing the city as a tourist destination should be a priority. I have encountered many tourists who view Prince Rupert as a transit stop instead a destination.

The Port Authority has hired an architectural firm to develop empty lots in Cow Bay to support the cruise ship industry. Instead of approaching the development of the waterfront in a piece-meal fashion with tourism at one end and industry at the other end, why not expand their scope of work to include the whole waterfront? I would encourage the Port Authority to meet with the City Council, other stakeholders and the community to develop a plan for the waterfront.

I would like to see the waterfront developed into a park for

pedestrians and cyclists with small-scale commercial development so that tourists are encouraged to explore the entire city, instead of just Cow Bay. Water Street and Graham Avenue could become part of a loop leading people back to town. Since tourists also approach Prince Rupert via the highway and via the ferry terminal this should be considered when developing a marketing plan for Prince Rupert.

In the past many cities have blocked access to their waterfront by allowing industrial development to pollute the water, soil and air. Until the 1970s False Creek was an industrial cesspool, which cost the City of Vancouver millions of dollars to clean up before it could be developed into a highly desirable residential area with generous public access.

Prince Rupert is a compact, walkable city with a rich architectural heritage nestled between mountains, forest and ocean. Allowing a large industrial project to be located on the waterfront would be a step backward. Now is the time to embark on a new direction for this city.

SincerelyAlora S. Griffin, Architect

Which of the City’s possible locations for the new emergency

building do think is best?

Lorraine Woods

“The police should be in the Highliner lot to

handle people comming out of the bars. The

Fire Dept. should be at the Dairy Queen.”

Sabrina Burton“If they feel they have to move, a

combination building would be best. The

Dairy Queen building would be good, it’s an

eyesore as it is.”

Tony Gates

“From a building perspective, putting

them together would be better. Not to mention

fi nancially.

Sometime during the course of the garage sale, $100 in cash was removed from the drawer she was using as the cash box. True to her personality, she is hoping that whoever took the money r e a l l y needed it for food & shelter.

By Alan S. HaleThe Northern View

A City Hall commissioned review of Prince Rupert’s medical facilities and equipment found that the local hospital offers more medical services than other facilities in Northern BC.

The variety of these services is constantly on the rise, due in no small part to the community support in helping buy new medical equipment. That said, there are problems such as a shortage of

beds and chronic difficulties in attracting new staff.

The review was done by the City’s Medical Facilities and Equipment Standing Committee, which was formed by council in April 2011 to perform the review and then report their findings back to council. At the council meeting on Monday, committee members Kathy Bedard and Marty Bowles came to City Hall to do just that.

“You never really know what you have in a community until you actually have an opportunity to

speak to staff and to see the actual facility in motion and in play,” said Bedard, who like the other committee members, volunteered her time to do the review

Aside from visiting the hospital in Prince Rupert, committee members also examined the Bulkley Valley Hospital, Dawson Creek’s hospital as well as Quesnel’s, Terrace’s and Campbell River’s.

They found that out of all of these hospitals, Prince Rupert’s provides the most medical services. Out

of a checklist of 70 different medical services provided by hospitals in the region, Prince Rupert had 56 of them available to its patients. The next highest was Campbell River – a community with a bigger population than Rupert’s – which had 50 out of 70.

“We stand out as a service hospital that has physiotherapy and the only cancer services in the above mentioned facilities. As of March 2012, during our conversation with hospital staff, Prince Rupert now has a specialized general practitioner in Oncology,” said Bedard.

“Dermatology will be available as soon as the specialist and equipment are in place. Tele-Health is available as a regional clinic;

it’s one of three pilot projects in the province because of our high statistics of heart failure. And our new psychiatrist has a growing patient load.”

The review also looked at the hospital’s medical equipment insofar as what it has on site and what it needs. The hospital spends about $200,000 a year on upgrades and improvements to its minor equipment.

Purchases over $100,000 have to be approved by Northern Health and this is where the bulk of the funding for the hospital’s big purchases comes from.

But the hospital depends heavily on help from the community to afford additional medical equipment. The North Coast Health Improvement Society, for instance, is currently fundraising to buy the hospital a bone mass density scanner and the Prince Rupert Lions Club recently donated a state-of-the-art medical crib.

“Our hospital is reasonably well equipped. As with any other hospital in BC, we are chronically underfunded and if it was not for the generous donations from the community, we would have a big shortage of up to date and state-of-the-art equipment,” said Dr. Marius Pienaar, the hospital’s gynecologist, told the committee.

There are some issues though.For one, the Prince Rupert

Regional Hospital is at 90 to 95

per cent capacity most of the time and they actually run out of space for new patients an average of one week every month. When this happens the hospital often uses the BC Bedline service to find vacancies in other hospitals.

“I have no idea what the rest of the province is like, but if you have to move people out of town one week out of every four, that seems to me to be problematic,” said councilor Joy Thorkelson.

Another ongoing issue for the hospital is a difficulty in finding new staff, particularly when it comes to getting locals to fill much-needed support positions. Committee members felt that this was one of the most important issues to the hospital staff and administration members they talked to.

“[The problem is] getting the people, especially in the nursing field. It is very difficult to get those qualified people and when we were in Acropolis Manor is was extremely difficult to get those specialized people. It’s finding the people, not necessarily the money or funding,” said Bowles.

The committee suggested that there should be some kind of marketing campaign to get more locals who already know they want to live in Prince Rupert to train to fill the needed positions, and perhaps the City could be a part of that.

Hospital stands out for amount of services: City report

◆ HOSPITAL REVIEW

WHO ATTENDED AND WE HOPE TO SEE YOU ALL NEXT YEAR!!

By Alan S. Hale The Northern View

Ronnie Ray Jenkins is a Prince Rupert Resident who recently published his second novel, The Flynn City Eggman, with the Larry Czerwonka Company.

His first novel, The Flowers of Reminiscence has received mostly positive reviews on Internet sites such as Amazon and Goodreads. He has also recently started a blog called A Writer’s Life (blog.ronnierayjenkins.com).

Jenkins is holding a book signing at Rainforest Books in Prince Rupert on June 5 from seven p.m. to nine p.m.

Below is an interview conducted with the author by the Prince Rupert Northern View (NV).

NV: What is your new book, The Flynn City Eggman, about?

Jenkins: It’s Easter 1969 in Flynn City and there’s an exocentric peddler that goes door-to-door to sell his goods. He’s had a lot of trouble with his customers in the past because of bad business deals and selling bad products, but this year it’s going to be different.

He gets great prices on his eggs, he has inflatable bunnies that he’s selling and it’s all new to Flynn City and they love celebrating Easter. It’s going to be the best year ever. Until the local drama queen of Flynn City High, Sandy True, turns up missing, and she was last seen with the Flynn City Eggman. So now the entire town is suspicious; what happened to Sandy True?

Soon a jealous boyfriend enters the picture, Sandy True’s boyfriend, and when he enters this fray he’s insanely jealous. The Eggman has a warehouse with all of his Easter good in it. He’s ready to sell. The insane boyfriend goes in and destroys everything, just annihilates all the products.

Then a reluctant hero by the name of Cuffy Landers, a 17-year-old high school student, befriends the Eggman. There’s a lesson in this book, what it will prove at the end is that a little hard work pays off.

NV: A man who sells Easter supplies door-to-door. Where do you get

an idea like that? Jenkins: Years ago, when I

was growing up in Appalachia, there was a peddler that actually did go from house-to-house selling eggs and butter. That’s where the idea came from: What if?

I used that idea to create the character of the Flynn City Eggman.

NV: Tell me more about this lesson the book centers around.

Jenkins: The lesson boils down to this: you can achieve your dreams with a little hard work.

We see that around here all the time. You see kids here just hanging out and they’re hoping to do something, but without working to get there they’re not going to make it.

You have a job, you have to get up, you have to be here, but you’re achieving what you wanted to do. You wanted to be a journalist, but you have to be here and do things. There’s a lesson in this.

I can’t give you all the details of this, but it all comes together.

NV: You’ve been writing for 18 years, how does it feel now that you’ve had two novels published within months of each other?

Jenkins: It’s the dream, man. It’s every author’s dream to do that. I’ve had more rejections than Jack London, who had 600. But the key is I never quit; you keep going because sooner or later you’re going to hit that person who says “Wow! How did we miss this guy?”

I’ve turned down publishing offers because people have wanted to change my books to the point where I would have went ”hey, it’s not my book anymore, it’s your book.” That doesn’t work for me.

I write it and send it to my editor in California, and I have all creative control of my books. I even negotiated my own contract without a literary agent.

It can be done, if you have that dream, it can be done.

Canada Day in RupertBy Alan S. HaleThe Northern View

Despite the showers that occurred all throughout the day, there was still plenty going on in Prince Rupert for people to enjoy Canada Day on Sunday.

Festivities this year were once again organized by the Prince Rupert Special Events Society and

took place at Mariner’s Park from noon to four p.m.

The day’s events included live music, birthday cake, trivia tests, contests and games, children’s face painting, ethnic foods, Canadian memorabilia and were capped by a fireworks display at 11:15 p.m.

The Friends of Anna Tang group in Prince Rupert are extraordinarily grateful for all of the tremendous support we continue to receive from the community.

The Big Rain Quilters Guild of Prince Rupert produced two beautiful quilts that will be sent to Anna and her younger brother David and that will surely be appreciated. The Roosevelt PAC has made more generous donations from monies raised by the school’s pizza lunch sale and juice box recycling fund.

Lonnie Wishart planned a vibrant and creative photography project that was completed by Karen Moller’s grade 1/2 class at Roosevelt. Judd from Cowpuccino’s kindly offered to display the 1/2 students’ pieces, to sell their art cards, and he also made a contribution, which was fantastic.

The Friends of Anna Tang also want to thank the Prince Rupert Northern View and CNFR Network for spreading information and sharing Anna’s story.

Finally, we want to thank Brian and the Overwaitea team for allowing us to host a hotdog sale earlier this month; there will be another hot dog sale on, June 23rd.

Donations can also be made at Scotiabank under “In Trust for Anna Tang, 10710 00028 87”.

Keep up the amazing work Prince Rupert!

Soup Daddy’s opens, new lunch spotBy Martina Perry

The Northern View

Early last week a new business opened its doors in Prince Rupert, with an aim of selling delicious lunches and helping individuals with mental disabilities find work.

Soup Daddy’s is owned and operated by Fairview Management Services Ltd., with Fairview’s director Alice Compagnon being a partial owner. The take-out restaurant provides an opportunity for individuals with developmental and dual diagnosed disabilities to learn necessary skills for working.

“They are learning skills like how to work as a team, how to work with money, how to manage a place...All of that. We’re preparing for out there in the real world,” explained Val Whomes from Fairview Management Service Ltd.

“Hopefully this will help them to be ready when they apply for a job.”

Every 30 days there will be two individuals from Fairview Management working at Soup

Daddy’s, learning about the workforce. There will also be a number of job coaches working with the individuals to help guide them. Each month after the bills are paid, remaining funds generated from the restaurant will be divided between individuals working at the shop during that month.

Since opening last week, Debra Leonard and Sandy Twan have been working at Soup Daddy’s.

Leonard, who has received her Food Safe Certificate, says that her favorite part of working at Soup Daddy’s is making the buns.

“I pick up a big, fresh batch of dough from Baker Boy, pay for it, come back here and put my gloves on and start slicing it up,” she said.

Twan says she also really enjoys helping Leonard with the buns, but while she works on getting her Food Safe Certificate, she

enjoys helping out by doing the mopping, sweeping and dishes.

All cooks and prep cooks participating have a Food Safe Certificate and follow a Food Plan.

Soup Daddy’s offers soups made fresh daily from scratch, homemade buns, muffins, cookies, ice cream, coffee, mochas, lattes, and twisters. Eventually, they are hoping to have a specific soup for each day of the week so people

know where their favorite kind is available.

Operation hours are Monday to Friday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., although workers are in nine a.m. to three p.m. All service is take-out at 200 4th Street.

The establishment is funded by Community Living British Columbia (or CLBC), a provincial crown agency that delivers support and services to adults with developmental disabilities.

Joint Review Panel resumes in KitimatBy Sean Glanville

Kitimat Northern Sentinel

Kitimat recently held it’s second round of Joint Review Panel hearings on the Enbridge Northern Gateway Pipeline Project Monday and Tuesday.

The JRP gave local residents 10 minutes each to voice their opinions on the project, with roughly 50 people speaking over the two days. The response from citizens was an astounding no, with the majority of speakers in opposition citing the risk is not worth the reward. Their sentiments echoed throughout the hearings was that it takes only one major oil spill to cause irreversible environmental damage to the region.

“The number one thing people want to talk about is potential for spill. We can not underestimate the costs of a spill in this region and the environmental and economic impacts,” says NDP Environmental Critic and Halifax MP Megan Leslie, one of many political dignitaries attending the hearings.

The JRP speakers came from a variety of generations and cultural backgrounds, and a number of them had to fight back tears when describing this land the seems to invigorate and revitalize their body, mind and soul. The NDP leaders on hand were taken aback by their stories. Words like authentic, truthful, emotional and eloquent immediately came to the fore in describing their testimonies.

“Listening to some of the testimony coming out of the JRP, it was particularly moving. The different perspectives from a young environmental activist, a grandfather, a First Nations leader, these people are unafraid,” says Skeena-Bulkley Valley MP Nathan Cullen.

“This is unusual for Canadians, to express their emotions publicly. It’s because so much is at risk, these folks were so honest in the face of so much cynicism in the face of the government and the oil companies.”

Former EuroCan Engineer Terry Brown, one of Monday’s speakers, re-iterated the fact that it’s inevitable that an accident will happen and eventually a pipe or gasket will fail. He recalled one major project at the mill that had nearly a dozen failures with the first couple years.

A number of influential people from both Enbridge and the New Democratic Party, official opposition to the Harper Government,

were in Kitimat for the hearings. Enbridge Executive Vice President of Western Access Janet Holder and Spokesmen for the NGPP Paul Stanway were on hand. In opposition, Cullen played host to NDP colleagues including Leslie and provincial MPs Fin Donnelly , Alex Atamanenko, and Randall Garrison.

It was Leslie’s first trip to BC’s West Coast and she was overwhelmed by the sense of place and the connection to the land citizens have here. “Our leader Tom Mulcair went to the oilsands last month to see for himself what’s happening there and I had the privilege of being on that trip, so it seems only appropriate to come here to BC’s Northern Coast to see first hand the proposed pipeline route,” says Leslie. “Being here it’s a little chilling, it’s amazing how people care about this project and stopping it because of the possible impacts and outcomes. It’s all negative what they see, whether it’s their livelihoods, economic stability, their access to salmon and clean water, everybody has a personal story about this pipeline and it’s inspiring and a little overwhelming to see how unified everybody is, It’s wonderful.”

After attending the JRP hearings

the NDP leaders held a Public Forum at the Best Western Hotel in Terrace Tuesday evening, followed by a boat tour of the proposed tanker route Wednesday morning.

“We’re going to get out on the water and look at some of the route that Enbridge is proposing and the places that will be put at risk. This has always been a land and ocean story,” says Cullen.

“It will give us a better idea of the threats posed to our rivers

and land and what impacts will be felt on the water and the people there.”

The NDP leaders were adamantly criticizing a new boldness with Harper and the Conservative government.

“It seems like there’s a new double speak out of Ottawa and there’s a boldness to this new majority government. There’s an arrogance that’s even disturbing conservative voters. Some are saying this is not my Canada and not what I support,” says Donnelly.

“Hearing people talking passionately about their place and the economy they want to see supported, like the salmon, feel that this economic proposal is going to threaten their way of life and the kind of economy they want to build. We want to support them.”

Enbridge representatives were unavailable for comment at press time.

CITY OF PRINCE RUPERT WANTAGE ROAD PROPOSED CLOSURE

Prince Rupert City Council is seeking public input from the Community regarding the proposed closure of Wantage Road to prevent dumping of garbage at this location.

Over the past 10 years it has cost the Community of Prince Rupert in excess of $19,000 to clean up garbage that has been dumped on Wantage Road.

Community members have expressed concern about the proposed closure.

Alternative solutions that have been suggested include:

Regular patrolling and regular clean-up of the road by City Employees; Installation of video cameras; Close the road to public vehicle traffic (hikers, ATV’s & motorcycles would continue to have access); Adoption of the road (and regular cleanup) by a Community Group;Increase value of City of Prince Rupert Spring Clean-up Free Landfill Tipping Token; Provide a Spring and a Fall Clean-up Free Landfill Tipping Token; and, Increase the penalties for illegal dumping.

City Council invites you to send in your ideas/solutions on how the issue of Wantage Road garbage dumping should be addressed.

Edd Boudreau finishes third in Canada PGA Championship By Martina Perry

The Northern View

Prince Rupert’s own Edd Boudreau took home bragging rights and a hefty pay cheque after finishing third in the PGA Championship of Canada held in Calgary earlier this month.

The PGA C h a m p i o n s h i p started on Tuesday, June 18 and finished up on Friday, June 22, with Boudreau starting his run in the Stan Leonard Division, playing his first game against Darrell Stubbs. After winning his first round, Boudreau went on to play Ontarian golfer Brian McCann.

Entering into the tournament, Boudreau was ranked No. 32 out of 64-players, and knocked off McCann, who was ranked No. 1., during the second round of the Stan Leonard Division.

Boudreau played his next match of the division against John McCann, who birdied seven holes in a row, leaving Boudreau four-under par after eight holes and three down to McCann.

“I ended up birdying three on the back nine, and shot seven under par that day to win on the 18th hole,” said Boudreau, crediting his caddie as a huge help in his PGA run.

In the final round of the division, Boudreau went on to play Conor O’Shea, shutting him out on the 17th hole, bringing him to the Final Four along with Eric Laporte from Montcalm Club de Golf, Brad Clapp from the Chilliwack Golf and Country Club, and Lindsay Bernakevitch from the Shaughnessy Golf and Country Club, who Boudreau competed against in his semi-final match.

“He made a couple long bombs on me, and I didn’t putt very well…He made a 25-foot bogey putt that took a lot of wind out of my sails,” explained Boudreau.

After being beaten by Bernakevitch, Boudreau went on to play the consolation match against Clapp.

In this game, Boudreau was two holes down and then behind by three before things turned. Boudreau took the 10th and 11th holes and after that it was a

seesaw battle between the two. Boudreau made a 12-foot birdie putt on the 18th hole to force extra holes and during the second extra hole he putted a 35-foot downhill putt for the win.

“I felt like I was going to make it, and sure enough I slam dunked it right into the hole

and made that for a birdie,” he said.

Boudreau won $8,000 for placing so well in the competition, the largest cheque he’s ever made from golfing.

“When you have three kids, you know what you’re going to be spending it on,” joked Boudreau.

Boudreau was born and raised in Prince Rupert, and g r a d u a t e d from Prince R u p e r t S e c o n d a r y S c h o o l in 1983. B o u d r e a u lived in town, working as a commercial

fisherman until he moved down south.

Boudreau did not become serious about golf until after he moved away from Prince Rupert, although he did spend some time at the Prince Rupert Centennial Golf Course practicing.

“When I needed help, Moe Hayes was there to give me advice and push me in the right direction,” said Boudreau, who turned pro when he was 35.

“I would love to get back up there and play in the jubilee,” said Boudreau, adding, “I wouldn’t trade where I grew up.”

Since leaving Rupert, Boudreau went on to graduate from the Camosun College Professional Golf Management Program, and is a Class A CPGA Professional. Boudreau now plays at the Gorge Vale Golf Course in Victoria, and is an academy instructor there.

In terms of competitions,

Boudreau will be competing in the PGA of BC Championship in Crown Isle in July, a tournament he won in 2006 and will be

playing the Canadian Assistants Championship in September, a tournament he won back in 2003.

Although it’s commonly accepted that oil and antifreeze are not household garbage we can simply throw out, more than one million litres of used oil ends up in BC landfills every year. When you consider that it only takes one drop of oil to contaminate a million drops of water, the problem is clear: there’s just too many drops to count, too many to ignore.

BCUOMA is a non-for-profit organization that encourages British Columbians to responsibly recycle used oil, oil filters, oil containers, used antifreeze and antifreeze containers. Since the launch of the program in 2003, British Columbians have done an exceptional job of recycling their used oil materials.

As of July 1, 2011 antifreeze and antifreeze containers have been included within the broader recycling program. From the 10 million litres of automotive antifreeze sold in BC each year, about 45% will be available for collection and recycling. Please check for a collection facility near you.

Protecting our province from the harmful effects of used oil and antifreeze must be a responsibility we all share, together. So please, next time you look to dispose of used oil or antifreeze materials, find a collection facility near you. Here are three easy ways to do so:

To arrange for a bulk pick-up of used oil (more than 30 litres), please call 1.866.254.0555

Note: Please make sure to return your used oil materials during regular business hours for proper disposal and to avoid any spills and further contamination to the environment.

In a continued effort to encourage higher rates of recovery, BCUOMA has built a strong support

network across the province. Today, participation includes 209 brand-owner

members, 39 collectors and processors, 520+ return collection facilities and

more than 4,000 generators. In addition, BCUOMA is reprising its

successful ambassador program this summer – with two

ambassadors touring the province to educate and raise awareness of the importance of used oil and antifreeze recycling.

By recycling your used oil and antifreeze products,

you’re playing an important role in preserving our environ-

ment for future generations.

AFFNO asks City to forgive bill, work on in-kind mannerBy Martina Perry

The Northern View

Members from the Association des Francophone et Francophile du Nord-Ouest (or AFFNO) made a presentation to City councilors at last Monday’s Committee of the Whole meeting with two hopes: for the City to forgive a bill the non-profit organization has left over from renting the Jim Ciccone

Civic Center’s auditorium for the Sugar Shack Festival, and to receive donations from the City on an in-kind basis for now on – effectively asking council to wave all costs and charges for renting the civic center’s auditorium for the festival from now on.

“We didn’t really want money changing hands,” said Dalton, who is the president of AFFNO, on the issue.

Since opening their office in Prince Rupert in January of 2011, AFFNO has hosted the Sugar Shack Festival for two consecutive years, with the event growing in popularity.

“The 2012 festival was our second annual, and it was very well attended. We are quite pleased with the community supporting us in our endeavor,” Dalton told the council.

The Sugar Shack Festival is held on the last Saturday of January. The first year the City made an in-kind donation for the cost of renting the auditorium, however the following year they were advised to go to the City and request to get a community enhancement grant instead.

In January 2012, AFFNO requested a grant of $1,000 from the city to help pay for the festival. At the time, executive director

Patrick Witwicki told councillors that the festival depends largely on the group’s ability to get a grant from the Federal Government, and that the government decides who gets those grants by looking for evidence of community interest.

However, AFFNO’s $1,000 request was cut in half by city council and the group only received $500. This caused problems when the time to pay the rental bill came around, and the group could only pay $500 of it off, leaving a bill of $406.75 with no money to pay for it.

AFFNO could not apply for any more grant money from the Federal Government, as they had already sent off all of the festival’s reports to Heritage Canada, and the group cannot rely on fundraising to pay off the bill because Dalton and Witwicki are the only people employed by AFFNO. This makes organizing fund raising events nearly impossible.

However, the City does not usually do things this way. In most cases the City will estimate what they would charge out to someone at market rate, and forgive a percentage of the prospective revenue rate, with whomever paying the rest, with City Councilors deciding on the amount of coverage.

The council decided to defer the issue until the next council meeting.
