Pinnacle Renewable Energy holds open houseBy Shaun Thomas

The Northern View

Half of the conference space at the Crest Hotel was packed on Tuesday, May 29, for an open house on Pinnacle Renewable Energy’s planned export terminal in Prince Rupert.

Along with company officials, project planners and members of the Prince Rupert Port Authority - the agency overseeing the environmental review of the project - the walls were lined with boards showing the scope of the project and what mitigation measures were being taken to address issues like noise and dust. The two hour meeting saw plenty of interaction between residents, a few city councillors and company officials

- including president and chief operating officer Leroy Reitsma.

“I think we had a lot of positive dialogue with people, and also got a good barometer of how people feel about the project. It was a great opportunity to share what we perceive as a lot of positive aspects of the development, but also the degree of due diligence that has taken the project to this point,” he said.

“In terms of evaluating, zoning issues and other issues aside, in the eyes of the community we want to help people to see the balance of values. Not all the values are going to be positive, but we do want to show the positives that balance any negatives.”

Reitsma said there was a mix of positive

and negative feedback on the project, as well as some good comments that will be considered going forward.

“I think a lot of people wanted a greater understanding of the dust in particular. A primary concern raised by the people in the neighbourhood to the east of the project is the impact on property values if the harbour view changed...That comes back to the balance of what we’re bringing with this project to the community and the surrounding communities,” he said, noting property taxes, employment, noise reduction through work with CN, cleaning up the Westview site and increased pedestrian access to the waterfront as positives.

PRINCE RUPERT OPEN HOUSE* Tues, June 12, 6�–�9�PM

Crest Hotel222 West 1st Avenue, Prince Rupert

Pinnacle export terminal a topic at city council meeting“The whole process is targeted at getting

everyone’s input.”To that end, the company will be back in

Prince Rupert on June 18 for a community meeting to present some of the comments and concerns gathered at last Tuesday’s open house, what is being done to address them and to allow people to ask the representatives more questions.

One change from the initial design outlined in September is the plan to allow for future expansion to seven silos from the proposed four.

“Our initial commitment is to construct the four silos as part of the initial development phase, but we certainly have the expectation to expand the facility once more production comes online in northern BC,” said Reitsma, adding that he wanted to be perfectly clear with the public on what the terminal could look like.

However, the revised size raised some concerns when the issue of the pellet terminal was discussed by Prince Rupert city council the night before.

“One of the reasons why Pinnacle has chosen to locate at the waterfront as opposed

to Ridley Island was because of the scale of the operation. But when it was originally presented to us it was almost half of what it is now,” said councillor Anna Ashley.

“Considering that the size and scale of the project has almost doubled from when they originally presented the idea to us, I assume the environmental impact of everything will be double what they were considering, and one of the things they talked about was truck access. I assume if the scale is doubling the number of trucks will be doubling too.”

As well as concerns about the scope of the project, council reasserted the need for a waterfront plan to be in place as it relates to the development of the Prince Rupert waterfront.

“This is exactly the reason why we should be sitting down with the port, because we need to have a plan for what is socially acceptable down there. Because if Pinnacle is turned down and someone else comes along, what is acceptable? The port has to have some kind of development down there,” said councillor Joy Thorkelson.

At the public meeting itself Ken Shaw,

one of the vocal opponents of the project, also presented Reitsma and Andy Cook of the Prince Rupert Port Authority with a letter from a lawyer with West Coast Environmental Law stating that the environmental review process should be a comprehensive one as opposed to a screening.

Another letter pointed out that the operators of the terminal would not see the

negative effects it may have. “Most if not all of the decision makers

do not live in this community...The only purpose of the pellet plant to any of the proponents of this project will be to generate profit. Any negative effects of the pellet plant will take years to resolve by essentially defenseless residents,” wrote Brian Denton.

By Shaun Thomas The Northern View

Skeena - Bulkley Valley MP Nathan Cullen took the Conservative government to task over changes to the EI system and the lack of debate on the massive budget bill.

“These changes are absolutely horrendous for communities that have been hit hard. Shooing people out the door when they are let go is one thing, but EI is there to transition people into jobs that they are trained for. Asking a nurse or a fisherman to go into flipping burgers is ridiculous,” he said, noting that the riding will be hit particularly hard due to the seasonal nature of many jobs in the north.

“We have had a subcommittee of the Finance Committee and the Finance Committee itself hear from people about this from everyone from pensioners to fishermen to unions..Who are saying it’s going to affect their quality of life, their pension and their future. Some things in a budget you can change in a year, but something like this could last generations.”

According to Cullen the changes will not only

impact the amount of money people earn by making them take jobs that pay 70 per cent of their previous wage, but will make EI payments more difficult to receive.

“Of all those people who contribute to EI, more than 40 per cent of those can’t get at it. What these changes are going to do is increase that so more than half of contributors won’t be able to access it. They’re trying to break the insurance program,” he said.

Along with taking issue with the changes, Cullen says the government is really pushing through the bill with the changes and a number of other cuts and alterations to Canadian laws.

“So far Conservatives have said they are not willing to change a single comma or period in the over 400 pages of the budget bill,” he said, saying the government is shutting down debate on the proposed changes.

“This government is showing amazing arrogance in saying it is our way or the highway.”

ICBC pinpoints crash hotspots at McBride St. intersectionsBy Shaun Thomas

The Northern View

On May 30, ICBC unveiled an interactive map of crash sites in BC, and it pinpoints a few crash hotspots in Prince Rupert in the last five years.

The data looks at crashes between 2007 and the end of 2011. By far the most collisions occurred at the intersection of 3rd

Avenue West and McBride Street where 21 of the 231 incidents in Prince Rupert have taken place. Of those 21, seven have resulted in casualties.

The next five intersections with the highest crash count are all located along McBride Street. There were 13 crashes with six having casualties at the intersection of 8th Avenue and McBride, 12 at the intersection of 5th Avenue and McBride,

nine at the intersection of 2nd Avenue West and McBride, and seven each at the corner of 6th Avenue and McBride and 9th Avenue and McBride.

Off of McBride, the next two sites with the largest number of accidents were in the downtown core at the corner of 2nd Avenue West and 3rd Street and the corner of 2nd Avenue West and 6th Street, both with six collisions in the past five years.

Of the 231 accidents in Prince Rupert, 71 of those resulted in casualties.

There was no data available for Port Edward. On Haida Gwaii there were two accidents in Queen Charlotte over the past five years, two in Tlell, three in Skidegate, four in Port Clements and 11 in Masset.

Enbridge spending millions to get point of view acrossBy Rod Link

Black Press

Enbridge is spending several million dollars to get its point of view across over its $5.5 billion Northern Gateway project.

Newspaper, online and print ads are being released between now and September when the company has a chance to provide details of its project when a federal review of the project enters a new phase.

Company spokesman Paul Stanway said a series of panel hearings since January has been frustrating because the format doesn’t provide the company a chance to respond

to what has been a virtual unanimous condemnation off the project.

Hearings that started in January began with First Nations providing their perspective and then switched to people providing 10-minute long statements.

But beginning this fall, Stanway continued, the company will be able to answer objections raised at the hearings so far and present the technical side of its 1,170km pipeline plan to ship Alberta crude to a marine export terminal at Kitimat.

“We just didn’t want to leave a vacuum until September,” said Stanway of the reasoning behind the ad campaign.

It’s designed to make more people aware of the details of the project because, Stanway added, polling shows that the more people know, the more they are comfortable with Northern Gateway.

“Support is at 50 per cent across B.C. and it’s a bit higher along the [pipeline right-of-way]. But what we did find is that knowledge about the pipeline is higher along the right-of-way,” he said.

That 50 per cent support figure is taken from a recent poll and is about the same as discovered in a poll conducted by Enbridge before the federal hearings started in January.

“We know there are a lot of people who support the pipeline. We know because we communicate with them,” said Stanway.

Stanway did allow that opposition to Northern Gateway has firmed up a bit between the first and second polls.

“There’s no polling going on in Alberta, which would play host to 40 per cent of Northern Gateway’s length, because Enbridge already knows support there is “considerably higher,” he added.

“That’s a very different public discussion,” said Stanway of the situation in Alberta.

“There’s a much higher familiarity there, a much higher comfort level.”

Three men die after helicopter crash west of TerraceBy Rod Link

Black Press

The BC Coroners Service have confirmed the identities of three males who were aboard a helicopter that crashed near Terrace on June 1, 2012.

The three are: Peter Bryant, aged 44, of Terrace; Blake Erickson, aged 48, of Sicamous; and Arnaud Jolibois, aged 44, of Banff, Alberta.

The three were aboard an A-Star 350 helicopter belonging to Bailey Helicopters

when it went down above the tree line on Sleeping Beauty Mountain a short distance west of Terrace at about 9 a.m. on June 1. According to the Joint Rescue Coordination Centre’s Jeff Olson, an ELT 406 Satellite Beacon on the helicopter went off on a ridge about 11 nautical miles west of Terrace this morning.

All three were found to have died in the crash when Search-and-Rescue technicians reached the site later in the day.

Terrace RCMP, Search and Rescue Technicians from Victoria, and an avalanche

technician were able to access the location despite some early concerns about safety.

“The avalanche technician deemed the area unsafe for emergency crew and everyone was pulled out,” said Cst Angela Rabut, media relations officer Terrace Detachment, adding that the avalanche technician remained on scene for further assessment.

“The weather [was] not cooperating. It is snowing and raining.

The three were removed from the crash scene and flown to Mills Memorial Hospital

in Terrace on the afternoon of June 2.The crash is being investigated by the

Transportation Safety Board, the RCMP and the BC Coroners Service.

Bailey Helicopters opened a local office at the Terrace-Kitimat airport back in March of this year.

The company was first established in 1989 to service the North Helmut oilfields in B.C., beginning with one Bell 47 helicopter, which is a single engine aircraft and the first kind of helicopter certified for civilian use.

OPINIONNorth Coast

Last Tuesday I took the opportunity to take in the open house about the Pinnacle Pellet export terminal proposed for Westview Terminal, and it was great to see the room as packed as it was.

Throughout the last half of the evening - I admittedly missed the first half due to other commitments - residents were very engaged with the people representing Pinnacle Pellet about their concerns, their questions and their overall comments. Obviously, as you can see on the letters pages that follow, people are very passionate about this project. I’ve even been approached on the street about the editorial I wrote a few weeks ago on the terminal and the City.

At the meeting itself, I waited for about 30 minutes to talk with Leroy Reitsma, Pinnacle Pellet president and COO, due to the number of people that were wanting to speak with him.

When it comes to a project like this, some people will be in favour for any number of reasons - including jobs, new development and an increased Prince Rupert presence on the international shipping stage - and some will be opposed for a number of reasons - such as visual quality, noise, property values and the loss of the waterfront. It’s projects like this that see neighbours going back and forth about on why they feel the way they do.

And personally, I think it is great to see this conversation taking place and people being engaged. Far too often there has been an opportunity for people to provide feedback to

the powers-that-be with next to nobody coming out to join in the discussion (see the official community plan, budget consultations, Committee of the Whole meetings). When something that is going to impact the people of Prince Rupert is coming down the pipe, the more people that give

their feedback the better. Let’s face it, people are going to disagree. But as long

as that disagreement is done in a respectable manner, as it was at the open house, it’s a key part of democracy at any level.

MY VIEW…

Glad pellet discussion is taking place...

A couple of weeks ago Tourism Prince Rupert held a series of workshops designed to help local businesses and organizations increase their profile on social media. As is the case in many other areas, Tourism BC has resources to assist with this.

The Tourism Business Essentials Guides are a series of free manuals designed to help those in the business of tourism learn more about the industry, and draw upon the knowledge and experience of provincial tourism leaders to help them build their business. They are a vital resource.

One of the newest is called “Online Reputation Management.” Many of our members and stakeholders are now realizing that their customers are no longer where they used to be – that is, in traditional broadcast and print – and that they need to take their message online if they want to stay relevant.

The eBusiness revolution does not mean that running a good business that focuses on customer satisfaction cannot be successful. In fact, in today’s marketing environment

that’s more important than ever. But to promote, and to take the increasingly vital step of engaging the customer, an understanding of your online reputation is vital. Because that’s the most important thing to remember about this (and the subject of this guide). You already have an online reputation, whether you know it or not. It will grow, good or bad, with or without your participation. It’s where your customers are, and it’s where you need to be.

The stats are piling up on just how widespread web use has become. There’s a January 2011 survey by TSN Canadian Facts quoted in “Online Reputation Management.” This showed that 73 per cent of leisure travelers and 86 per cent of business travelers used the Internet as an information source before booking travel. Almost 60 per cent of business travelers and 54 per cent of leisure

travelers indicated that star and diamond ratings on Internet booking services had the most influence on their travel choices.

As one might expect, social media is experiencing a sharp increase. Here 17 per cent of business travelers (almost double 2010 results) and 14 per cent of leisure travelers were influenced by social media. Blogs influenced 25 per cent of business travelers and 21 per cent of leisure travelers, and videos 43 per cent

of business and 47 per cent of leisure.Most interesting, according to a 2009

Nielsen Global Online Consumer Survey, “The results indicate that while consumers don’t trust the opinions of strangers as much as the opinions of people they know, they trust them significantly more than traditional advertising sources and slightly more than the opinions of professional journalists.”

One of the most common things that we heard when we discuss online marketing

with stakeholders is that they simply don’t know how to get started. The “Online Reputation Management” guide is a great place. You know that great statistics about online visitors are available, but you’re not sure how to access and truly understand it? Try the section on analytics tools. You understand that you need to resolve issues as they appear online, but you’re not sure exactly how to respond to a negative (or worse, inaccurate) review on TripAdvisor? Examples are provided.

The entire series of Tourism Business Essentials Guides can be considered required reading for tourism entrepreneurs. They cover a wide gamut of topics, from human resources to building effective advertising, from understanding the value of travel media to outlining the province’s unique tourism sectors such as mountain bike tourism.

They’re free online. Just visit http://www.jti.gov.bc.ca/industryresources/, and follow the link to the Tourism Business Essentials Guides.

Editor: I want to express my strong

opposition to the Pinnacle pellet loading proposal for the Westview waterfront area.

I understand that the PRPA has no legal obligation to act on the wishes of local residents or even the city council, but if the proponents of this project live as well as work in this community they must realize how damaging an industrial development in the middle of a residential area will be.

The immediate impact will be a loss of property values on the adjoining residential area: obstructed and/or no more view, noise and dust will all contribute to a significant drop in assessments. As the surrounding neighbourhood provides the City with substantial revenue through taxation it will be a blow to the finances of the City. A city councillor has confirmed for me that the shortfall will be met by increasing taxes for all homeowners in a city that already claims some of the highest per assessment taxes in the province. On a personal level many people purchase a home not only to have a roof over their head, but as a long term investment for their future, and this project will cause financial hardship for home owners.

Health and e n v i r o n m e n t a l concerns have not been adequately addressed in the superficial

assessment or screening process: simply because a property has been used for industrial purposes in the past does not mean it is still an appropriate use. We used to pump mercury and lead into water sources too, but with knowledge came change. Conversations with residents who work at Ridley Island and who were in the proximity of the pellet loading facility there confirm that dust and noise were an issue - in an industrial site. I don’t think the technology has advanced far enough to imagine that these problems will not be magnified in a residential neighbourhood.

Prince Rupert has endured a boom and bust economy because the city leaders and developers have historically chosen to pursue an industrial economy while allowing our infrastructure - including

roads, parks, trails, leisure and recreation facilities - to decay and erode. People choose to stay in a community for those amenities. A key component for residents in a waterfront community is access to that waterfront. My husband has had to work out of town for the past 11 years and yet we remain here for the quality of life in this community. The PRPA is flogging their utopian version of Cow Bay and professes to be keen to attract cruise ship business, yet doesn’t appear to notice the irony in pushing for an industrial project a few hundred metres down the waterfront. The biggest question is why a pellet loading facility that was located on PRPA property at a

large, designated industrial site was dismantled to be rebuilt adjacent to valuable residential property which also provides community members with increasingly rare access to the

waterfront. The promise of 10 jobs is not an

acceptable trade off for all of the above reasons.

Prince Rupert fights back during April, Daffodil month Editor: Sincere thanks to the Prince Rupert

community who came out in force and joined the fight against cancer in April with the Canadian Cancer Society Daffodil Month.

The people of Prince Rupert were overwhelming in their support and generosity and made this year’s Daffodil Campaign a great success. Thanks to last month’s success, we will be able to continue funding the best cancer research and local support programs for people living with cancer.

The society asked all Canadians to join the fight in April and wear the daffodil pin -- a bright and hopeful symbol of support for those affected by cancer and a remembrance of those lost to the disease. On Daffodil Day, April 27, the society encouraged people to mark the day by doing something special for someone living with cancer or to contribute in some way to fight against the disease.

Another Canadian receives a cancer diagnosis every three minutes. Prince Rupert joined the rest of the country in showing

its support on April 27. Daffodil pins were everywhere, a great symbol that says no one goes through cancer alone and we are all in this fight to put a stop to cancer.

Donations collected in April go toward vital support services including programs for individuals seeking cancer information, emotional support and camps for youth and families. The society also provides transportation services and lodge accommodations along with limited, short-term financial assistance for treatment-

related transportation and accommodation. Volunteers and staff deliver cancer support programs, cancer prevention information, advocate for healthier communities and fundraise for cancer research.

The Canadian Cancer Society fights cancer by doing everything we can to prevent cancer, save lives and support people living with cancer.

On behalf of the Canadian Cancer Society, thank you for your continued support.

Cruise ship passenger enjoys stop in Prince Rupert Editor: We were in your town on May 4 on the

cruise ship, Zaandam, and I wanted to let all of you know how much we enjoyed your town and the incredibly friendly people we

met.I heard so many comments on board ship

the next couple of days that Prince Rupert should be included on more cruise itineraries. EVERYONE we met was friendly and open

and welcoming from the volunteers shore-side to the lad in the supermarket to the lady at the post office to the First Nations dancers/singers and on and on.. Your big attraction is the local folks. Not sure how local folks can

be marketed for tourism but that is such an outstanding quality your town has.

Thank you so much for being your friendly open warm selves.

Industrial developments shouldn’t be along waterfrontEditor: I attended the Pinnacle Renewable Energy

Pellet meeting at the Crest Hotel the other night where some people who are basically well intentioned tried to convince me that a pellet export terminal within city limits on the ocean front should be installed.

I was told that it would be placed at the very end of Graham Ave. near where Diep Fishing is currently located. I was told that the old pulp mill area on Watson Island had waters that are too shallow for the large pellet ships that they will be loading. I was also told that it couldn’t be placed on Ridley Island (which I see as the logical place for the facility) because that entire island was designated for other things.

For what I asked?I saw pictures of the 7 silos which will

each be approximately 45 metres (140 ft) high and 30 metres (100 ft) wide. They would be installed in front of the homes on Water and Beach Avenues almost completely obscuring their waterfront view and bringing additional noise, light and dust to that and much of the surrounding area. Although the officials at the Pinnacle Renewable Energy Pellet meeting told us how much they were doing to decrease those irritations, the fact remains that it will be impossible to totally prevent some irritation. An increased presence of trucks in the downtown area will be another factor. I was told that there would only be 13 employees and that they

expected to contribute around $350,000 a year to the city. This seemed a relatively small amount for making what should be our downtown waterfront more industrial rather than being used for commercial, recreational or residential use.

I fail to understand why there should be more industrial use of our downtown waterfront area. I have written to CN rail over the years asking them to consider moving the CN switch yard from that area so that the City of Prince Rupert and its citizens might have the use of the waterfront. I have never lived in any other city that has such little public use of its waterfront area. Putting a pellet shipping plant in what should be our downtown waterfront businesses, homes and

parks seems to be a giant step backward. We live amidst a wilderness. Surely in the

hundreds of miles of land on the third largest natural harbour in the world there must be some other area that this facility could be located! We live in a relatively isolated community surrounded by a beautiful natural amenity - the ocean - and we have little access to it.

The Port of Prince Rupert, CN Railway and the Government of Canada all need to consider opening up the Prince Rupert city ocean front area for community development, taking all the industry out of this area and locating it somewhere else.

Yours truly,Shelley Stafford

Rupert for the dance festival, which was a wonderful event.

While I was there I had serious car problems.

I would like to thank Boyd from Rainbow Chrysler for all of his help in getting my car back on the road. He went above and beyond to get us on the road as soon as possible. He even phoned me to make sure my

granddaughter and I got home safely.

I would also like to thank the Crest Hotel for their help. Thank you Sherry (from the Crest desk) for going out of your way to help my son get flowers for me on Mothers’ Day.

There are so many caring people in your town. You should be proud.

Thank You so very much.

Rupert’s Relay for Life raises over $70,000By Martina Perry

The Northern View

On Saturday, June 2, 10 teams made up of 125 participants joined together for the 15th annual Relay for Life event in Prince Rupert.

The Relay for Life is held to celebrate the lives of cancer survivors, to remember those lost to the disease and to fight back, by raising funds for the Canadian Cancer Society. Prince Rupert’s event, which was held all day at the Prince Rupert Middle School track, raised just over $70,000 this year that will go towards cancer research.

The relay began at 11 a.m. on Saturday with an opening ceremony and cancer survivor and caregiver lap around the track. Throughout the day, while participants took turns walking around the field, many local bands kept participants entertained with music, while fundraising activities such as head shaving and draws took place. Even the kids were kept entertained with face painting and a huge soccer ball.

A number of prizes were awarded to cancer survivors, their caregivers, relay volunteers, and everyone in general. Prizes included a new television, travel vouchers, gift certificates, original artwork, food, and more. Prizes were donated from many local businesses.

The top fundraisers in three categories were also awarded with prizes, including the top online fundraiser, Jamie Malthus, the top fundraising team the Ridley Coal Strollers, who raised over $12,000 and the top fundraising individual was also the event’s volunteer co-chair Lanni McNeice, who raised approximately $6,700.

McNeice led a large group of volunteers that helped the event run smoothly, including Cathy Quane and Jamie Malthus, who were both honoured for their five-

years of volunteering for the Canadian Cancer Society. They were awarded with a certificate and five-year pins.

Finishing off the day-long event was the luminary ceremony, which was perhaps the most emotional, and moving part of the relay. Luminaries are fireproof bags illuminated by candles that participants and spectators could purchase to honour a cancer survivor or remember a loved one lost.

The luminaries were placed around the track for participants to view.

Canadian Celtic rock band, The Town Pants, will be making their first trip to Prince Rupert to headline the Seafest Summer Kick Off Party, taking place at the North Coast Convention Centre on Saturday, June 9.

The Vancouver-based band has released five studio albums, with the band currently working on their sixth, and have toured all over the globe, earning themselves a strong following in the eastern United States. The group also performed at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver.

“We’ve also wanted to do some tours on

the west coast, but we’ve never gotten around to it. I’ve always wanted to see Prince Rupert, I’ve heard there’s a great scene up there, so it’s about time,” said The Town Pants’ lead singer and guitarist Duane Keogh in an exclusive phone interview with The Prince Rupert Northern View.

And Keogh isn’t the only member that is excited about visiting Kaien Island. Many members of the band will be flying in from all over North America to perform for their first time in Prince Rupert.

The Town Pants’ current line consists of Darla Daniels on the fiddle and backup vocals, Mike Mastin on percussion and Edward Croft on the bass, as well as long time members

Aaron Chapman, who plays the tin whistle and sings backup vocals, and Dave Keogh, brother of Duane, who plays the banjo, mandolin and sings.

The Town Pants are currently in the studio, working on their newest album. The working title of the album is “Fifteen”, to celebrate the fact that the band has been together for fifteen years now.

“15” will stick with The Town Pants’ roots in Celtic music, but will also incorporate new sounds, including some Irish Punk, as well as a hybrid song, “Heavy Load”, with many musical inspirations including Eastern European and Australian music, as well as ska music.

“It’s a bizarre song for

The Town Pants compared to what we’ve recorded in the past,” explained Duane.

On the night of the performance, there will be a barbeque starting around 8 p.m., with beef or vegetarian burgers being included in the ticket cost. Additionally, there will be a cash bar. The Town Pants will be starting their performance around 9 p.m.

Tickets can be purchased in advance at Teddy’s Music and Chances Gaming Centre. There will be an additional fee for those paying at the door. Must be nineteen years or older to attend.

After performing in Prince Rupert, the group will move on to performing a number of festivals in the United States.

The Museum of Northern BC recently offered a program for school groups to learn about masks from many different cultures. Several classes from Conrad Elementary School, including Ms. Wendy Brooks’ grade three class of 23 students (pictured above), enjoyed a fascinating afternoon

at the museum. This included a tour of the masks in the museum collection and in the Ruth Harvey Art Gal-lery, and a visit to the Longhouse to view the Raven dance. Each stu-dent was able to make a mask of their own design as an art activ-ity at the Artist Studio under the guidance of the museum staff.

CELEBRATING CELEBRATING SEAFEST 2012 SEAFEST 2012

& 50 YEARS OF THE & 50 YEARS OF THE CANADIAN COAST GUARD CANADIAN COAST GUARD

Seafest 2012:

Salute to the Canadian Coast Guard

By Shaun Thomas The Northern View

Prince Rupert’s largest community celebration, Seafest, takes place every June and draws people from across the northwest for four days of fun and games.

Seafest started in 1978 and has only grown since then. Every year features a different theme, and this year the festivities will be a tribute to the Canadian Coast Guard and its 50th anniversary.

Seafest will kick off on Thursday night when the block of Third Avenue West in front of City Hall will be shut down for a

community block party. On Friday there is a Seniors

Tea scheduled and the Jim Ciccone Memorial 3-on-3 Basketball Tournament gets underway and doesn’t wrap-up until Sunday.

But Seafest really ramps up on the weekend, with one day dedicated to activities in the downtown core and one day for activities on the waterfront.

Saturday morning the Masonic Hall hosts a pancake breakfast, and at 11 a.m. one of the largest parades in the northwest takes to the streets. The Seafest Parade features dozens and dozens of entries, can last well over an hour and loops itself through seven blocks on

2nd and 3rd Avenue West where people are lined up three deep to see the different floats. While 2nd Avenue re-opens, Third Avenue West remains closed for the remainder of the day for activities that range from bouncy castles to marine touch tanks and dunk tanks to live music and tons of vendors along the sidewalks. To wrap up the day there is usually an evening harbour cruise social along Prince Rupert’s waterfront.

Sunday’s Seafest is focussed entirely on the water that makes Prince Rupert’s quality of life unique. There is a children’s bullhead derby at the docks,

where kids can try their luck at landing “the big one”, while the remainder of the events take place at Rotary Waterfront Park. T h r o u g h o u t the day there is a race of h o m e m a d e boats built the day before in The Quick and the Daring, a Swim for Survival, a sailpast and flypast of the park, kayaking for kids and parents and live entertainment

on the Kwinitsa bandstand. Seafest concludes with the Sunset Service to honour those who perished at sea.

The event is entirely run and organized by the volunteers of

the Prince Rupert Special Events Society.

Military personnel and equipment representing the Royal Canadian Navy from Maritime Forces Pacific (MARPAC) arrive tomorrow in Prince Rupert, B.C. to participate in the 34th Annual Seafest from June 7-10.

“Our personnel are delighted to participate in this year’s festivities and showcase the Royal Canadian Navy to the people of Prince Rupert,” says Lieutenant Commander Pete Southam, the Royal Canadian Navy Liaison Officer for Prince Rupert.

“We look forward to continuing our association with the Prince Rupert Seafest.”

Her Majesty’s Canadian Ships Nanaimo and Edmonton will be berthed at Atlin Terminal and will be open to visitors on Friday and Sunday afternoon.

M e m b e r s of the ships’ companies will march in the Seafest Parade on Saturday m o r n i n g and will participate in some of the community activities throughout the Seafest

weekend. A contingent from the Fleet

Diving Unit (Pacific) will display and demonstrate their diving and Explosives O r d i n a n c e Disposal (EOD) equipment for festival patrons on the jetty next to the two Kingston Class Coastal Defence ships.

Nanaimo and Edmonton are two of six 970 tonne Kingston Class ships assigned to Canadian Fleet Pacific. Their

principal role is the training of members of the Royal Canadian Naval Reserve, but

they also regularly conduct important surveillance and Search and Rescue duties off the entire BC coast.

The ships have a permanent crew of up to 40 but can be fitted with an a c c o m m o d a t i o n module for additional trainees.

The ships are both armed with a 40 mm Bofors deck gun and two .50 calibre machine guns and are capable of carrying other equipment for sea-bottom object inspection, minesweeping and route survey.

Seafest Seniors’ Tea- Friday June 08 1:30 to 3:30. There is a cost of $3.00 There is always plenty of food

and refreshments and pretty darn good entertainment. Don’t forget…

***Friday Bingo Cancelled for June 8***

Bridge: There is a group of bridge players in town that call themselves the Charity Bridge Club and they recently made a nice size donation to the Seniors’ Centre. It was very much appreciated and we are very thankful. Also they are always looking for more

bridge players, please call Evelynne at 624-3847 if you are interested in playing bridge.

Our intrepid handyman Bob was very busy painting our stairwell last week, getting ready for the new carpet which is hopefully coming soon. Eventually we should see a new stairlift to the basement being installed as we received a grant to install one. We will keep you all

posted as to when that day arrives.The line Dancers will be hanging

up their dancing shoes as of June 14, which is the last day they will be meeting before September again. I’d like to take this opportunity to thank Karen for coming every Thursday to teach line dancing to our ladies and gents. If you are interested in joining Line Dancing in the fall please give me a call or see me at the Centre.

On Saturday students of Traditional Yoga Studio in Prince Rupert participated in a Yogathon -- the 108 Sun Salutations Yoga Challenge. Surya

Namaskar AKA sun salutations bring more prana (life force) into the system by opening and energizing the body. Surya meaning sun and Namaskar stemming from the Sanskrit word “namas” meaning to bow or adore. The number 108 has long been a number of significance in India, the birthplace of yoga. Yoga Master &

Instructor leading the Yogathon Dinesh Gautam said, “ The greatest obstacle to completing 108 rounds of sun salutations is not the body but the mind”.

The Yogathon took about two hours to complete and had participants preform a series of 12 asanas (yoga postures) 108 times.

“There is a point while doing the series where your mind is wondering. How many more of these things are left? I can’t possible do another one, but eventually there is a rhythm that kicks in and you feel like you could go on forever,” commented participant Jennifer Rice.

Brianne Bartel, 18, to help build home for family in needBy Martina Perry

The Northern View

While most 18-year-olds will be spending the summer celebrating their graduation, one Prince Rupert local will be traveling overseas to assist a family living in poverty.

Brianne Bartel will be part of Hero Holiday this summer, when she will be assisting a family in building a proper home to live in. Bartel will be holding an information evening on her trip next week, where she is hoping to collect donations.

“I can see myself getting addicted to humanitarian work. I love helping people, it’s something I need to do,” said a passionate Bartel.

Absolute Leadership Development hosts Hero Holiday, where Canadians are given the opportunity to go on global humanitarian trips to either Mexico, Thailand, Haiti or the Dominican Republic. On these trips, people work in a community to either help build homes, distribute supplies, provide food, provide mobile medical clinics or work with children who are at risk.

Bartel will leave on June 3, first heading to Toronto for an orientation and to prepare for the trip before heading to Sosua in the Dominican Republic.

“I am very excited to go. I can’t wait to help,” commented Bartel.

Over the 10 days Bartel will be spending in Sosua, she and others will be

helping a family in need build a home for themselves. On the last day, the family will be handed the keys to their new home.

“It will be giving them so much opportunity,” said an emotional Bartel, who was holding back tears.

Bartel learned about Hero Holiday after going on the Rotary Adventures in Citizenship trip to Ottawa last summer where she met Jenna, who she became friends with. Jenna told her all about her annual humanitarian trips, one of which was a trip to the Dominican Republic.

Jenna shared stories with Bartel about how she connected with Gizella, a 14-year-old girl who is living in poverty. Jenna and Gizella grew close as the two were at the dump, collecting bottles from the trash for money. Although a full huge bag of bottles would only earn about .30 cents Canadian, Gizella and her family and friends would go to the dump often, and dig through rotting food, bathroom tissues, maggots and various other rubbish to find recyclables. While doing this, Gizella would pick up thrown-out food to eat and dirty clothing to take back home with her. The culture shock left Jenna in disbelief.

“How is it possible in 2012 that we can have people sent to the moon, we can text message across the country in seconds and can have vehicles that can parallel park themselves by the touch of a button, but at the same time 25,000 die from hunger everyday,” wrote Jenna in a speech she

presented to her school that Bartel shared with the Prince Rupert Northern View.

Although Bartel already has the cost of the trip covered she is hoping to raise an additional $700 so she will be able to contribute towards household items for the new home she will help build and to purchase small gifts for the children of the community such as colouring books, crayons, toothbrushes, Frisbees and sporting equipment.

“I’m extremely athletic, I absolutely love sports. So for me to bring a soccer ball down there and to share something I love with them is going to be amazing,” she said.

On June 13, Bartel will be holding a Hero Holiday i n f o r m a t i o n session on her trip and is hoping to collect as many donations as possible. The event will be taking place in the Multi-Purpose room at Charles Hays S e c o n d a r y School, and will start at 7 p.m. Refreshments will be provided.

A n y o n e who won’t be able to make the information session can drop off d o n a t i o n s to Brianne, whose phone number is 250 6 2 7 - 7 3 7 4 , or at Rupert C l e a n e r s . Donations of $20 or more can receive a

Thousands of jobs...Over 3,000 direct construction jobs will be created in British Columbia at the peak of construction. As well, 560 new long-term jobs will be generated in BC.

World-class safety standards...Carefully planned and built to respect the terrain and wildlife, the pipeline will be monitored 24/7. To protect the waters and coastline of BC, marine facilities will adopt additional navigation aids, increase emergency response capabilities, and implement new land-based radar so that Canada’s Northwest Coast is safer for all marine traffic.

A stronger BC economy with new trade partners...There will be more opportunities and towns will prosper. It will open up global markets for our energy exports and increase Canada’s Gross Domestic Product by $270 billion.

Millions of dollars for community projects...Over 30 years, more than $1.2 billion in tax revenue for BC can be used to strengthen public services. Enbridge will also provide $100 million to support communities near the pipeline.

It’s more than a pipeline. It’s a path to our future.
