No plans to remove hospital’s surgical servicesBY SHAUN THOMASPRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View
While Northern Health is continuing to investigate a consultant’s recommendation to move to a hub-and-spoke model for healthcare in the Northwest, Northern Health’s chief operating officer for the Northwest Health Services Delivery Area says the organization is committed to keeping surgical and specialty services at the Prince Rupert Regional Hospital.
“We are clear that for Prince Rupert, given the size of its population and the outlying communities Prince Rupert serves including Haida Gwaii, there is a core set of services that are required now and into the future. There is no question a surgical program will remain in Prince Rupert and those services need to include obstetrics, gynaecology, general surgery and internal medicine,” said Penny Anguish, noting that maintaining those services goes beyond just the medical options offered in Prince Rupert.
“We know that if we don’t sustain that type
of surgical program in Prince Rupert, that has some effects on the ability to keep a very adequate general practice and family physician population. If they don’t have a certain level of backup, that changes who is willing to come to a community. The physicians have been very clear about that with us.”
A reduction of surgical services in Prince Rupert may be off the table, but the idea of moving to a hub-and-spoke model presented in a surgical services review prepared by a third party consultant is one Northern Health’s executive is continuing to examine.
“It wasn’t surprising that hub and spoke came up in that review because it is a fairly
commonly used model in other jurisdictions. Northern Health hasn’t used that model as a normal approach to managing how we organize services ... It has been interpreted as everything goes to the hub while the spokes do much less and that doesn’t have to be the case,” said Anguish, who added that other recommendations in the report related to service improvements have already been implemented.
“The contentious recommendation is the one for a hub and spoke model ... that recommendation has been clearly marked in documents outside of the organization and internally stating that [it] would be investigated further, along with some consultation ... we don’t have a firm timeline. The framework for how we would proceed with looking at that one needs some more discussion regarding how we would do the consultation and what the investigation would mean.”
Anguish said Northern Health continues to discuss with staff how to further investigate the model.

Lax Kw’alaams Mayor Garry Reece wants to make it clear that neither the Band Council or the Band itself has taken a position on the Eagle Spirit Energy project — but says such a proposal is unlikely to find support.
In a letter to the Northern View(see Page 7 for the letter) that follows several members speaking in support of a proposed pipeline to ship refined crude to Grassy Point for export, Reece said it is important people know that support comes from a small contingent of band members and not the community as a whole.
“It is highly unlikely that our members will support an oil pipeline, regardless of who owns it,” he wrote in the letter.

Trade is building stronger communities.The Port of Prince Rupert is growing opportunities and prosperity by
connecting the communities of northern BC. Last year, port activity was
directly responsible for the equivalent of 3,060 permanent full-time jobs.

“We have unanimously rejected the shipping risks by Enbridge and any other oil pipeline that uses tankers will create exactly the same risk,” he said, noting the band will only approach members once more is known about the project.
“Our members have just overwhelmingly rejected the [Pacific NorthWest] LNG project because of legitimate environmental concerns over Flora Bank and the Skeena fishery, despite an offer of over $1 billion in benefits. Our members will never support a pipeline that puts the entire coast at risk.”
As for statements coming from Eagle Spirit Energy claiming support of Lax Kw’alaams members, Reece said such statements are “misleading” and are “simply not the case” as “there was no vote and some simply agreed to seek more information”.
“Lax Kw’alaams members do not support the proposed construction of a pipeline or proposed refinery by Eagle Spirit Energy in our territory for the fundamental reason that the community has not been involved in a meaningful and comprehensive dialogue regarding this project,” he said.
“The community has the right to make an informed decision regarding a project of this nature.”
Reece’s statement came just days after Eagle Spirit Energy held an event in Vancouver that included several First Nations who supported the idea of partnering with Eagle Spirit on a pipeline that would connect to an export facility at Grassy Point, including the Grand Chief of the Treaty 8 First Nations of Alberta, Chief Donny Van
Somer of the Kwadacha First Nation in Prince George and Gitxsan hereditary leader Art Mathews, who said the refined oil pipeline was preferred to possible oil-by-rail.
“How are we leading our people if bitumen is being shipped through our communities by rail. The railway cuts our community in half and we do not want the danger that represents to our people,” said Mathews.
“Every week there is news of another derailment —even if a derailment does not occur in our community it endangers the Skeena River or could cause a massive forest fire.”
As well as representatives from the interior, Eagle Spirit noted a large contingent of members from Lax Kw’alaams were in attendance. Several members of the band had previously endorsed the project, with more coming forward to speak at last Tuesday’s event to promote the opportunities the project presents.
“We like the fact that the Eagle Spirit project put the
environment first. Many of our elders are in need and we want our legacy to our children to offer something more that gives them opportunities,” said elder representative Jack White.
“There are no opportunities for young people in our community. We want a better way of life with real jobs and business prospects so we too can offer our future kids more hope,” said youth representative Corey Wesley.
Eagle Spirit Energy president Calvin Helin noted the proposal came following three years of discussions and consultations with First Nations, but said there is still much work to be done.
“The signing of the Memorandum of Understanding represents a significant milestone for the project but we realize it is really a first step,” he said.
“Much more community work has to be done and we are very grateful for powerful and kind support that First Nations have shown for our project to date.”

The City of Prince Rupert launched its Go Plan Survey earlier this week.
Rupertites are encouraged to give input on a brief questionnaire related to population, housing and social cohesion, with the information gathered helping the city plan and make informed decisions in managing the impacts of major projects.
Prince Rupert Mayor Lee Brain said the community may soon experience a population boom and said the idea behind the survey is to help retain the community’s current identity on the other side.
“Whether you’re a renter, a homeowner or a resident in this community, the influx of 5,000 new people coming to town, essentially within a six month timeframe, is going to put pressures in your life,” said Brain.
“[We don’t want residents] to go through discomfort for five years for economic development’s sake. We do believe that everybody can benefit from economic development, as long as we can get this type of information and know exactly how the community is feeling on the ground.”
Select Prince Rupert residents will be able to respond to the Go Plan Survey at their doorstep, with the questionnaire being open for all in the
community to answer online for the duration of the campaign.
Between 20 and 25 trained enumerators began knocking on doors on June 8 and will continue their efforts until June 18. Brain urges anyone who is greeted at their door by enumerators to treat them with respect.
The city hired a statistician to undertake the survey, and Brain says the results will be able to stand up to Stats Canada and BC Stats. This will help the city in its fight for more affordable housing, as Brain said current stats don’t portray a shortage. It will also help determine how much pressure people are under at this time.
“We need to collect our own information ... this is going to be a way for us to measure population in the community, measure housing needs
and measure things like social capital,” he said.
The city will have a booth in front of City Hall at Seafest on Saturday for people to fill out the survey and will host another event on Fraser Street later this month in hopes of attracting people in the low income bracket to fill out the questionnaire.
Brain said this will be the first round of data collection the city will undertake.
“This can form good decisions on where we’re going to invest our time and money,” he explained.
The city opened a Go Plan office on Sunday, which will be headquarters for the campaign for its duration, at 290-309 2nd Avenue West.

As people from across the country and the globe begin the vacation season, BC Ferries is adding two additional sailings to Haida Gwaii in June to keep up with demand.
The Northern Adventure made an unexpected sailing between Prince Rupert and Skidegate on Monday, June 8 and will sail again on Monday, June 15 in order to address a backlog of customers wanting to access Haida Gwaii.
“We’ve been monitoring the situation and talking to our customers and in order to reduce waits for customers who couldn’t secure a reservation on a sailing of their choice we are adding extra capacity between now and the start of our summer schedule which ramps up on June 19,” explained BC Ferries spokesperson Deborah Marshall.
“While overloads are a reality in our business, we are seeing some extraordinary overloads and we wanted to take care of the backlog of demand.”
The extra sailing departs Skidegate at 10 a.m. and arrive in Prince Rupert at 5 p.m. on Monday before leaving Prince Rupert again at 10 p.m. and arriving at 6 a.m. Marshall said there is “a good chance” the sailings won’t break even financially, but said the decision was made in light of the increased demand. The extra sailings, she said, will serve as somewhat of a stopgap between the winter summer schedule.
“After June 18, there is reservable space available for booking. We expect these two extra sailings to clear the stand-by lists,” she said.
“Once summer schedule starts, we don’t expect any capacity issues with this route.”

The federal environmental review of Pacific NorthWest LNG’s Lelu Island terminal has been put on hold once again by the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency (CEAA).
The federal body posted an update on the project website on June 2 indicating it had asked Pacific NorthWest LNG to provide further information “in order to respond to the agency’s information request of Feb. 23, 2015” — a request that included examining the project’s potential impact to sediment transport, hydrodynamic changes and the effects of those on fish and fish habitat on Flora Bank.
In response to that request, the company undertook a 3D modelling study using Delft3D methodology that looked at sediment movement during a five-year period and in the conditions of a 20 and 50 year storm. That study “does not indicate a net change in erosion or deposition patterns, nor does the model suggest long-term loss of sand or increased
sedimentation of Flora Bank by fine silt materials”.
However, CEAA said more information is needed for the assessment.
“On June 2, 2015, the agency sent a follow-up letter to the proponent, Pacific NorthWest LNG Ltd., indicating that, in the view of the agency and federal experts at Fisheries and Oceans Canada and Natural Resources Canada, more detailed 3D modelling information is required to complete the environmental assessment and prepare the report with respect to the environmental effects of the project. Although many aspects of the previous information request have been addressed, the 3D modeling work requires updating to increase certainty in the results. Other information is also required to meet the requirements identified in the environmental impact statement guidelines as they relate to, effects on current use of Aboriginal fisheries for traditional purposes, effects on marine mammals and effects of dredged material disposal,” said spokesperson Kate Fish in a written statement.
“The agency appreciates the commitment shown by the proponent to ensure a thorough and credible environmental assessment can be completed and acknowledges the significant progress that has been made to date. The agency continues to work on the environmental assessment with the available information.”
While the clock may be stopped on the environmental assessment, Pacific NorthWest LNG senior corporate affairs advisor Spencer Sproule said the company
is keeping very active through assessment work.
“Pacific NorthWest LNG will continue to work constructively and diligently with the regulator, area First Nations and other stakeholders to answer outstanding questions regarding our Environmental Impact Statement,” he said.
“In parallel, this work will complement our record of extensive consultation with area residents, stakeholders and First Nations that has resulted in significant design changes to the project.”

After 37 years in the Prince Rupert School District, Sheila Wells is retiring.
Sheila spent her entire career in public education in the community, starting as a phys-ed and foods teacher at Prince Rupert Secondary School (PRSS) in the late ‘70s and ending as principal of École Roosevelt Park Community School.
“Sheila has always worked tirelessly on behalf of our students,” said Sandra Jones, superintendent of SD52.
“Her recent work at Roosevelt has reminded us of her incredible work ethic, strong belief in the abilities of every student to learn and succeed, and purposeful leadership.”
Interestingly, Sheila will retire at the same school she attended in kindergarten.
Shortly after Sheila was born, her family moved to Prince Rupert where her father had gotten a job at the Daily Newsas a printer and writer.
Sheila was the second of four children, having an older brother and two younger sisters. The Wells children were all active growing up, as both their parents were sport enthusiasts.
When it came time for Sheila to start kindergarten she was enrolled at Roosevelt, but only attended the school for a year before her family relocated to Vernon.
After spending five years at the University of British Columbia to earn an undergraduate degree in education, Sheila returned to Prince Rupert in 1978 to become a physical education and foods teacher at Prince Rupert Secondary School.
“I got to do the two things that I’m passionate about,” she recalled.
Not too long after, Sheila took up coaching at the school. Although it meant taking on extra responsibilities, it didn’t feel like more work for Sheila.
“I was a decent athlete in my time and have played provincially in five different sports. I also represented the University of British Columbia four times at Canadian championships in curling,” she said, noting she played basketball, field hockey and badminton when she was young.
For Sheila, highlights from her time as a teacher include witnessing three teams she
coached win curling or bowling provincials and the joy winning gave the young athletes.
As a teacher, Sheila was able to travel the country and globe with students including a trip to California, England and France, as well as two separate trips to Japan.
“Travelling with students and seeing the different ways they develop out of the classroom is huge. I think it gives you a different insight into kids,” she said.
Before ending her time as a teacher, Sheila left her mark on SD52’s course selection. She is proud to have created a certified physical education course that incorporated outdoor activities in Prince Rupert into a credited course.
After a number of years, Sheila moved on to become a counsellor at Prince Rupert Secondary School, and eventually principal in the early 2000s.
“As a counsellor, Sheila worked to help students meet the mark and graduate – something she continued as a principal – she always took time to connect with students when she could help them meet their goals,” said Supt. Jones.
To Sheila, standards are of utmost importance.
“I have certain expectations. I believe you put the bar high and push the kids to get there. I don’t believe in setting the bar low,” she said.
Perhaps one of Sheila’s proudest moments as principal of PRSS was overseeing the House Front project. In 2006, Sheila shook hands with Ts’msyen artist and PRSS alumni Russell Mather, with the stunning three dimensional piece of cedar artwork being completed in 2008. The House Front remains on display in the entranceway of the middle school.
Because of her involvement with the House Front, Sheila was adopted into the Gispaxlo’ats Sgyiik tribe in May, becoming an Eagle. Sheila asked that Mather be the person to honour her at the ceremony, where she was given the name Siadaawx, meaning to tell the story or make the story.
Sheila had been at PRSS for 33 years when the school was converted into Prince Rupert Middle School, working alongside a core group of educators for much of the time.
“It was like a big loss. Closing down a school, I never imagined I’d be doing that,”
she said.In the two years Sheila was principal of
Charles Hays Secondary, she was a driving force in getting a greenhouse erected as part of the school’s horticulture program. She also oversaw the gym’s renovation to better reflect the joining of students.
Sheila changed posts again in 2013 when she took on her present role of École Roosevelt Park Community School’s principal.
For the first time in her more than 30-year career, Sheila was placed in a completely different environment than what she was used to.
“I was taller than the kids,” she first joked.
“The issues are different ... they’re all in their developing years, but [every little thing is important to the younger kids].”
In the short time Sheila has led the team at Roosevelt there has been some unique initiatives launched at the school, including its Daily Physical Education program.
As part of the program, students gather in the gym each morning to dance, with teachers being able to meet and collaborate on their practices during this time.
“They have more time to work together as opposed to trying to find time outside of
school,” Sheila explained. “It’s a really good model.”Another recent undertaking at
Roosevelt is the creation of a Lego Room, which Sheila is excited to see open this week. Students will be able to use the Lego Room for hands-on activities to supplement learning, or as a reward or space to calm down in before returning to class.
Although Sheila said working with children is the best part of her day, she admits to looking forward to the next chapter of her life.
For the first part of her retirement, Sheila plans to dedicate more time to her hobbies, whether that’s spending time in her garden at home and the 18-raised beds at her Lakelse cabin, or using the vegetables she’s grown to whip up a new appetizer or entrée in the kitchen.
Sheila hopes to check-off one of her “must-dos” by attending an international cooking school in either Austria or Germany in the near future, but doesn’t plan on moving away from Prince Rupert or its residents anytime soon.
“I’ve really enjoyed the people here, and I’ve loved the students.”

This weekend is Seafest, the largest community celebration on the North Coast and a perfect example of the
power of volunteerism. The event is organized by the volunteers
of the Prince Rupert Special Events Society, a group of dedicated individuals who give their time and their energy to help improve the quality of life for people living on the
North Coast. If it weren’t for people willing to volunteer for the Prince Rupert Special Events Society, there would be no Seafest, no Winterfest and no Canada Day celebration.
But given that this year’s Seafest is paying tribute to another group of dedicated volunteers in Prince Rupert — the men and women
who choose to go on call 24/7 and 365 days per year to help ensure the safety of boaters on the water — let’s take this discussion of volunteerism a little further.
Without volunteers, there would be no All Native Basketball Tournament which means there would not be thousands of people spending money in local businesses and hotels throughout an entire week in February.
There would also be no BC Annual Dance Competition, which again fills hotel rooms, restaurants and shops around town in the early spring.
There would also be no Prince Rupert Rampage, a team that excites fans in the community and often brings additional revenue to hotels, restaurants and other businesses.
So while most in town understand the impact volunteers have on the quality of life people enjoy in Prince Rupert, the impact volunteerism has on the economy. Picture Prince Rupert without these events.
And without volunteers, the Canadian Cancer Society would have $85,000 less to put toward finding a cure for the horrible disease that takes so many lives because the Relay for Life would never happen.
If that doesn’t show the power of volunteerism, I don’t know what does.

The power of volunteerism
After six years, countless tears and thousands of emotional accountings of residential school experiences, the national Truth and Reconciliation
Commission report came down last week.Rather than making broad-based, sweeping
recommendations that are more a state of mind, the report makes nearly 100 specific action points aimed at such things as helping Aboriginal people recapture their culture, educating the general population about the country’s Aboriginal heritage, and creating government policies and programs designed to enhance our understanding of the importance of that heritage and the distinctiveness of Canada’s Aboriginal people.
The phrase “cultural genocide” was used to describe the systematic removal of Aboriginal children from their homes and families and the residential school system’s abhorrent strategy of “taking the Indian out of the child.” It was an attempt to sever the cultural connection that saw aboriginal elders and heads of families pass on their language and other traditional heritage to younger generations.
In the 1960s, leaders in Quebec sought to have their province’s “distinct society” – its majority French-speaking population, unique culture and civil law tradition – officially recognized by the government of Canada.
Two attempts to entrench such uniqueness in the
Constitution, the Meech Lake and Charlottetown accords, failed, as have subsequent referendums on separation.
Nonetheless, Quebec and its uniqueness in this country are today recognized as an integral part of Canada’s heritage and cultural makeup.
The same recognition must be afforded Canada’s First Nations. Fortunately, work has begun, little by little, to acknowledge Aboriginal distinctiveness in Canadian life.
Righting past wrongs will take more than simply throwing money at the problem of residual anger and shame over residential school abuses.
It will take further inclusionary practices and action by individuals just as much as by governments.
Rather than asking, “What does this have to do with me?” or stating, “It wasn’t my ancestors who did that,” we all need to ask ourselves, “What can I do personally to change the way I feel about and interact with Aboriginal people in my community?”
It starts with systemically re-imagining the relationship between Aboriginal and non-aboriginal people on a personal, individual level. It’s about treating all people as fellow human beings, free of judgment, with respect and compassion.
It’s something we can all do, regardless of what government policies may be enacted in the wake of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s work.

Container ship classes are tied to TEU capacityThe diversity of the
over 400 vessels call-ing on the Port of
Prince Rupert is a testament to the ability of the Port Authority and its partners to safely accommodate ships of all types and sizes.
There are six classifications of bulk carriers that load energy, agri-food products and logs in Prince Rupert. The distinctions between those ships are based on the deadweight tonnage (DWT), which ranges from 10,000 DWT Handysize ships to 220,000 DWT Capesize ships. In 2012, 233 bulk carriers of various sizes made up over 50% of commercial vessels traffic.
Almost all other vessel traffic is made up of the container ships that berth exclusively at Fairview Terminal, a total of 155 last year. Like bulk carriers, container ships are classified by size. Rather than tonnage, however, container ships are classed by the number of containers they hold. The measure used when referring to container ship or terminal volume is twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs), a standard size for metal intermodal shipping containers.
There are seven classes of container ships worldwide, although traffic at Fairview Terminal is composed of only three. Ships under 3,000 TEUs are generally known as ‘feeders,’ as they are used to transport containers from different ports and feed the larger vessels used in trans-oceanic service. Small feeders are considered to have a capacity of up to 1,000 TEUs, while Feedermax vessels top out at 3,000. To date, Fairview Terminal has only once welcomed a feeder class vessel. The now-decommissioned ER Perth arrived in February 2009 and moved 393 TEUs, setting a record as the smallest ship with the least number of container movements for a call at the terminal.
Panamax class container ships range from 3,000 to 5,000 TEUs, and were the largest in the world for a decade that began in 1985. Panamax vessels account for only 3% of the nearly 600 container ships that called on the Port of Prince Rupert as of December 2012. By 1996, the Post-Panamax class of ships was born of the need to lower shipping costs through economies of scale. These are the majority of ships at Fairview Terminal, ranging from 5,000 to 8,000 TEUs. However, since 2010 Prince Rupert has received 27 container ships with capacities greater than 8,000 TEUs, known as Post-Panamax Plus.
Until last year, the largest ships being used in trans-Pacific trade were a maximum of 10,000 TEUs, like the 9,500 TEU COSCO Guangzhou that called on Fairview in September 2012. Now an even larger class of container ships, known as New Panamax (12,500 TEUs), has begun to service large American west coast ports. Outside of North American trade there are even larger ships in service, dubbed the Post New Panamax, like the “E Class” with capacities as large as 15,000 TEUs. In fact on Friday, June 28, the first of Maersk Line’s new 18,000 Triple-E Class ships will be delivered, becoming the largest container ships in the world—for now.
“Our natural advantages like the depth of harbour and access to shipping lanes are what brought trans-Pacific container trade to the Port of Prince Rupert, but it’s our engineered advantages that keep this growing diversity of vessels moving safely,” said Gary Paulson, Harbour Master at the Prince Rupert Port Authority. “We’re working with our partners to ensure a record number of container ships call on Fairview Terminal this year without incident, and we’re already planning for the future when there will be the potential for us to service even larger ships.”

Reece clarifies band positionEditor:Re: Lax Kw’alaams members support shipping
oil Lax Kw’alaams members do not support the
proposed construction of a pipeline or proposed refinery by Eagle Spirit Energy in our territory for the fundamental reason that the community has not been involved in a meaningful and comprehensive dialogue regarding this project. The community has the right to make an informed decision regarding a project of this nature.
The Northern View received information from a company that made a claim that they had the ultimate “Yes” vote for this project to go ahead. The press release that was printed on May 20, 2014 was misleading. We want to provide the facts to correct the statements made about Lax Kw’alaams’ approval for this project.
Neither the Lax Kw’alaams Council nor the Lax Kw’alaams Band as a whole has taken any position on this project. Instead, a small group of band members (with their travel paid to attend these meetings) met with representatives of the company to review the agenda for the oil company’s proposal. They then issues a press release — that was perceived to be from Lax Kw’alaams Band and the membership which is simply not the case.
It is highly unlikely that our members will
support an oil pipeline, regardless of who owns it. When we know more, we will ask our members. But our members have just overwhelmingly rejected the [Pacific NorthWest] LNG project because of legitimate environmental concerns over Flora Bank and the Skeena fishery, despite an offer of over $1 billion in benefits. Our members will never support a pipeline that puts the entire coast at risk.
Other than pipeline supporters, our members at this meeting did not vote in favour of the project, there was no vote and some simply agreed to seek more information. The company supporting the press release has misstated our support.
It does not matter who owns the pipeline if the oil is to be shipped by tankers where any oil spill will endanger our coastline and destroy our fishery and way of life. We have unanimously rejected the shipping risks by Enbridge and any other oil pipeline that uses tankers will create exactly the same risk.
When we engage our community members and provide them with the facts about the environmental concerns and the potential risks related to the project, we will then provide you with an official press release regarding our community and membership’s decision.
Mayor Garry ReeceLax Kw’alaams
Editor: I have been closely following the debate
about the LNG industry and have come to believe that a vast majority of people in the north are in favour of Petronas moving forward, but not at the expense of Flora Bank.
I feel the same way. I am a third generation fisherman that
has been in this industry for most of my life, the last thing we need is any further stress on Skeena River salmon. What we do need, however, is high-paying, long-term jobs. We all suffered with the loss of the pulp mill and have never fully recovered. We really need the development of a project like Petronas to get us back on our feet.
There could be another way to bypass Flora Bank and I would like to introduce it for debate. On the surface this alternative may not appear to be a better way for Petronas, but I believe it makes a lot of sense.
The location I am talking about is a small section of the 60 square kilometre Smith
Island. The area is on the extreme Northwest point of land furthest from the Skeena River. The distance from this location to Lelu Island is 3.5 km, the distance to the Flora Bank is 2.5 km and Tsum Tsadia inlet on Smith Island is three km. The hydro line servicing Kitkatla runs through the property.
This location has a number of positive attributes the first of which is that this location is Granite rock. Granite is very strong and stands up well in a marine environment. This property on Smith Island is also very steep for the first 30 metres as it rises out of the ocean before it levels out to a very flat plateau with next to no overburden and little to no Muskeg.
The reason I know so much about this site is I am a shareholder in Pacific Rim LNG. We have had an interest in this property for seven years and hold mineral tenure rights, investigative use permits, and foreshore permit applications.
Smith Island may be the key
See SMITH on Page A8
A8 • Northern View • June 10, 2015A8 • Northern View • June 10, 2015 www.thenorthernview.comCommunity
Our plan for the site was to develop a quarry, build a plant, and we have applications pending for foreshore rights and a mining permit related to developing a small dimension stone quarry.
I would further like to say that we were in discussions with Petronas about a year ago. At our meeting there was some keen interest in this site. Petronas liked the fact that there was little to no overburden or muskeg and that it was granite rock. They were concerned about the size of the site.
LNG is a new and developing industry and it just so happens that new technology developed in the industry now allows the gas in a liquid form to be sent up to four km making it now financially viable to use this Smith Island site as a shipping location.
In conclusion, this site is definitely worth further investigation. Petronas had a focus on somehow securing rights to get acceptance to cross the Flora bank, and now that they have been declined I think it’s a logical next step to look at this site. The Lelu Island portion of Petronas’ planned development would still be used in this scenario and a pipline would go underwater to Smith Island.
I hope people will debate, discuss, and consider this alternative.Marcus Griffin,
Prince Rupert

BY KEVIN CAMPBELL PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View
It was a fitting year-end showcase for a dance studio that has experienced highs and lows for the 2014-15 season.
The highs were very high – numerous individual and group awards for the Dance Academy of Prince Rupert – nine group top-two or better placings and cash awards at the Pacific Northwest Music Festival (PNMF) and BC Annual Dance Competition (BCADC) for “M’Bongi”, a bizarre, twisted, yet elegant and rhythmic jungle-themed number with costumes as colourful as the toucans and leopards they represented, all the way to “Walk Like an Egyptian”, an historic nod to a piece of time half a world away and dress to match. “The Telephone Hour” claimed first-place and a cash award at the 2015 BCADC gala.
For the solos and duos, Amelia Adams, Renae Atchison, Piper Clouthier, Hannah Douglas, Laura Fudger, Kaia Jackson, Reagan Pomponio, Taliyah Spencer and Emilie Strand all garnered awards and scholarships within the year from numerous festivals and competitions – a tremendous accomplishment for the talent on the smaller populated North Coast.
Lola Clouthier, Karlie Fudger and Taylor Jackson had years to remember
as each captured at least three grand prize awards and scholarships and a few will be off to the BCADC summer dance camp later on.
The singular low however, was one that made the Dance Academy family come closer together after the passing of young dancer Samantha Budnisky. A tribute piece was performed in her honour on Saturday night – part of the two day showcase.
The show, dubbed #befabulous, was produced and directed by Teresa Mackereth and hosted by mistress of ceremonies Jennifer Kloppers. It was a wild ride from start to finish, opening
with a more religious and spirited first number “Sister Act”, before transitioning to a few solos by Karlie Fudger, Hannah Douglas and Lola Clouthier.
Douglas stole some hearts at the conclusion of the night’s festivities when she tearfully thanked the studio’s teachers for everything they’d done upon her graduation.
As always, the more miniature and younger dancers evoked laughter and applause for their antics in “Super Heroes WANTED!”, “Apprentice Angels”, “Be our Guest” and “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star”.

Roosevelt’s Renese Ebanks crosses the fi nish fi rst in her heat in the Grade 5 girls’ 400m.
BY KEVIN CAMPBELLPRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View
After a year away from the track due to the 2014 labour conflicts between the British Columbia Teachers’ Federation and the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association, elementary students, teachers, parents and organizers were happy to get back to the Charles Hays track and stretch their legs before the school year ends.
Last Thursday, Grades 3, 4 and 5 students from Pineridge, Roosevelt, Lax Kxeen, Conrad and Port Edward Elementary schools gathered to see who could take home first-place in a number of categories including distance races, high jump, long jump, ball throw and relay.
And the skilled athletes who garnered top-three finishes included Lax Kxeen’s Catalina Gonzales (first) and Ava Edwards (second) in Grades 3-4 girls’ high jump, Sage Buchanan (first), Josh Leighton (second) and Robert Christenson (third) in Grades 3-4 boys’ high jump and Nikki Davis (first) from Conrad, Grace Campbell (second) from Conrad and Shanica Aksidan (third) from Roosevelt rounded out the top three Grade 5 girls’ high jump scores.
In Grade 5 boys’ high jump, Ole Rysstad from Conrad took first, Lax Kxeen’s Nicholas Vanderberg grabbed second and Kaiden Munro (Conrad) and Zack Campbell (Pineridge) tied for third.
Kanani Coon (Conrad) took first in Grades 3-4 girls’ long jump, while Taylor Jackson (Roosevelt) nabbed second and Summer Leavitt (Conrad) finished third.
The Grades 3-4 boys’ long jump counterparts saw Jaden Andreesen nab first, Jacob Taylor take second (both from Pineridge) and Robert Christenson from Roosevelt grabbed third.
The Grade 5 girls’ long jump had Kwiadda McEvoy take first (Conrad)
with Renese Ebanks (Roosevelt) in second and Claire Davies (Lax Kxeen) in third. For the Grade 5 boys’ long jump, Rysstad grabbed first once again and Jesse McKay and David Delil from Port Edward tied for second, while Kevin Nguyen (Lax Kxeen) took third.
Elly Lowe (Port Ed) was champion of the Grades 3-4 girls’ ball throw, while Pineridge’s Lexi Bryant took second and Summer Leavitt-Roberts (Conrad) nabbed third.
The Grades 3-4 boys’ ball throw top three included Kole Leighton (Lax Kxeen) in first, Daren Budskin (Pineridge) in second and Port Ed’s Kalen Rhynold in third.
Sam Wiley (Lax Kxeen) was the winner of Grade 5 girls’ ball throw with Nikki Davis (Conrad) as first runner-up and Port Ed’s Makayla Floyd in third.
The Grade 5 boys’ ball throw champion was Port Ed’s Tyson Leask, followed by Jacob Gordon (Pineridge) in second and Chase Leighton-Stevens (Conrad) in third.
The Grades 3-4 girls’ 50m winner was Hyla McQuad (Roosevelt) with Summer Leavitt in second and Reign Williams (Roosevelt) in third.
The boys’ Grades 3-4 50m first-place champ was Gavin Magnusson (Pineridge), followed by Logan Philips (Port Ed) and Finn de la Nuez (Roosevelt).
Coon grabbed first in the Grades 3-4 100m girls’ division, with Anna Nguyen (Conrad) in second and Katie Van (Lax Kxeen) in third.
The boys’ Grades 3-4 100m champ was Robert Christenson while Josh Leighton took second and Logan Phillipe (Port Ed) grabbed third.

PRINCE RUPERT
QuickClimb 2015 to the summit of Mount Hays proudly sponsored by:
Mount Hays climb laid groundwork for community trail construction
Kristina De Araujo laughs to herself as she reminisces about the inaugu-ral years of the Mount Hays Quick-climb, recalling racers of all ages and abilities.
“Watching a woman who was two weeks away from her due date walk towards the start line... I was impressed!” De Araujo says.
“She did the seven-kilometre hike to the top of Mount Hays, and she did it in admirable time.”
In the years following the race’s inception in 2008, numbers of participants and volunteers remained high.
“We had so many volunteers for the fi rst Mount Hays Quickclimb that I actually sent some home,” says De Araujo. “One volunteer brought her camp-ing chair, set up shop under one of the tents, and knit all day -– she hung around just in case I needed her.”
Founding a complex race event to raise funds for a connector trail to the bottom of Mount Hays was challenging. “During the fi rst Mount Hays Quick-climb, I woke up at 5:30 a.m. and it was pouring, pouring buckets! I actually cried,” admits De Araujo.
“I was thinking no one will show up. But approx-imately 108 participants arrived in the torrential downpour and we raised approximately $15,000 for trail restoration.”
Construction of the Omineca Connector Trail became possible because of funds raised and volun-teers recruited through Quickclimb. Prince Rupert’s renowned weather conditions didn’t help. For De Araujo, the memories are vivid.
“Winching trees along our trail — actually stand-ing in muck knee-deep, 10 people lined up on either side of the fallen tree and using pulleys, log rollers, our muscle, whatever it took to move that tree — a tree! — into place.”
One of the purposes of the Mount Hays Quick-climb event is to connect Prince Rupert’s history with the natural splendour surrounding the city. A local company, Quickload Logistics, established the annual timed ascent and community celebration in 2008 with the intention to raise funds for trail restoration.
Mount Hays was chosen as the event’s site in order to increase awareness about Prince Rupert’s founder, Charles Melville Hays, and the recreation opportu-nities that exist in the rainforest that surrounds the city.
“I think when you live here for so long, the back-
ground becomes just that, the background. Let’s bring it into the foreground,” says De Araujo.
She credits the success of the Quickclimb -- and its upcoming revival -- to the generous nature of local individuals, businesses, and organizations that support community events.
Quickload Logistics, in partnership with McElhanney Consulting Services, is currently working to bring the Mount Hays Quickclimb back for 2015.
Th is year’s event is scheduled for August 16th. On that morning, come rain or shine, Kristina and her team members will be at the base of Mount Hays for another all-inclusive hike to the top of the mountain.
More information about how to keep Prince Ru-pert’s backcountry community thriving is available at www.quickclimb.ca or facebook.com/quickclimb.

There were probably a lot of golfers sharing Fran Fowler’s sentiments last Sunday at the Prince Rupert Golf Club’s Ladies Jubilee.
After more than a month of blue skies and no trace of liquid sunshine to be seen, the North Coast’s fickle climate roared back with a vengeance on Sunday morning, whipping up gales of wind and downpours lasting hours.
“We would liked to have quit after nine [holes],” said Haida Gwaii’s Fowler.
“But then it cleared off and the back nine was wonderful.”
The visiting Fowler, who had been in town since last Tuesday, won the overall low net title of the jubilee and a familiar face claimed the overall low gross.
Rose Holkestad, co-winner of the earlier His and Hers Tournament, took top spot in low gross, carding a 36-hole total of 172. Fowler’s net score was 142 after a handicap of 25.
While most participants, 33 in all coming from Smithers, Houston, Burns Lake, Terrace, Kitimat and Haida Gwaii, saw their totals climb in the blustery second day, a skilled few beat the odds and lowered their scores after Sunday’s challenging conditions.
“All of a sudden, now you’re having to take two or three more clubs just
to hit the hole or get close to a hole,” said low gross winner Holkestad after finishing her round.
“Our course isn’t as pristine as it has been – we’re struggling with that a bit this year ... but [my game felt] fantastic. Actually my first round [Saturday], I shot a 48 on the front and I was sort of grumbling a little bit because I had a couple little blow-up holes and turned it around and shot my best-ever on the back. I shot a 38. It was just incredible.”
Fowler’s game was on point as well. The islander has gained experience through the couple courses on Haida Gwaii.
“I don’t get to golf very often, about as often as I can on those two courses, but it does not compare ... It’s just beautiful here. It’s not at its best right
now, but it’s beautiful,” she said.The Championship Flight’s first
and second low gross titles went to Karin Williamson and Janet Sheppard respectively. First and second low net went to Janice Malkow and Fiona Kerbrat. In the First Flight, Maria Wells took the first low gross title and Selma Standring grabbed second. First low net went to Carol Schaeffer and second to Esther Pretulac.
Within the Second Flight, Andrea Pollock claimed first low gross and Dorothy Wharton second. For low net, Carol Bryant grabbed first and Mary Murphy second.

Make it three straight for the Prince Rupert Football Club (PRFC) United.
Despite a team that looks a bit dissimilar from itself a year ago due to player losses, gains and transfers, PRFC just keeps winning, thanks to a potent offence and stingy defence that elevated the group to first-place at the Kitsegukla Annual May Soccer Tournament from May 30-31.
It was the third straight championship taken by PRFC in Kitsegukla and it took a team effort to do it.
“We had pretty much our core group with a few add-ons from people who moved out of town or aren’t
here anymore,” said PRFC forward Matt Anderson, who was named the tournament’s best forward after notching three goals.
“We scored a few goals for sure.”Facing the United in the final were
the hometown Kitsegukla Athletic Club (KAC) Young Guns, a team they had faced a day before, and the team that defeated PRFC in the round robin stages to force the Rupert squad to play in consecutive elimination games just to reach the final.
“The first team we played against was Kispiox and we beat them 1-0 and the second game we won 3-1 against the Skeena Tigers. That was on the Saturday and then on Sunday morning, we played the KAC Young Guns,” explained Anderson.
“It was 1-0 and then they got a penalty shot with about two minutes left, tied it up, it went to overtime. That put us in the back door. We had to play Kispiox again [and won].”
In the final against the only team that had beaten PRFC, the North Coast footballers took to the pitch against the Young Guns and this time, suffocated the junior team with an imposing defensive effort and opportunistic offensive strikes for a 2-0 finals win.
“[Our first goal] took a little while. It was about three quarters of the way through the first half. Addy Phu-Ngam got a breakaway and he blasted it in and the
second goal was from Mike Yeomans. He headed it overtop of the goalie and they couldn’t really muster anything to come back. We had pretty good defence,” said Anderson.
Along with the title, the team earned $3,000 for first-place and nearly swept the individual awards category. Yeomans claimed the tourney MVP
title, Anderson took best forward for his efforts, Shane Swanson was named best team coach, Marc Monteleone grabbed best half back and Mike De Lima was chosen as an all-star.
Doug Lindley and Rampi Gill occupied the net as United’s goalies and Gill grabbed the shutout in the final, while Anderson applauded the great play of some of his newer teammates from the area as well as the old.
“Lawrence Moore from Terrace and Josiah Ramlaib [stepped up]. Chad Stewart got a real important goal to put us through to the final,” said the forward.
Next up for the team is hosting a Seafest men’s tournament, held June 12–14 at the Charles Hays Secondary Field.

The PRFC United claimed the 2015 Kitsegukla football tournament in late May with a 2-0 win in the fi nals over the Kitsegukla Athletic Club (KAC) Young Guns.

The Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations is considering establishing up to eight new Biodiversity, Mining and Tourism Areas (BMTAs) under the Environment and Land Use Act. For King Island, the ministry is looking at the possibility of establishing a conservancy under the Park Act instead of a BMTA. These areas would comprise approximately 295,000 hectares of Crown land.
The ministry is also proposing to cancel the 2007 South Central Coast Order and Central and North Coast Order, and all their amendments (2009 and 2013), and replace these with the proposed 2015 Great Bear Rainforest land use objectives, established by legal order pursuant to Section 93.4 of the Land Act and for the purposes of the Forest and Range Practices Act. The proposed 2015 Great Bear Rainforest Order sets forest management requirements within the 6.4 million hectares of the Great Bear Rainforest (see schedule A in the proposed Order). The proposed 2015 Great Bear Rainforest Order addresses First Nations cultural heritage resources, freshwater ecosystems and habitats, landscape and stand level biodiversity, and bear habitat. Together the proposed 2015 Great Bear Rainforest Order and potential BMTAs/conservancy will meet the goals of reserving 70% of historic old growth forests, with some minor exceptions, while maintaining a viable forest industry in the Great Bear Rainforest.
In areas designated as BMTAs, commercial logging and hydro-electric power generation linked to the power grid would be prohibited; other resource activities and land uses would remain subject to existing legal requirements. The designations would only apply to provincial Crown land.
Areas designated as conservancies explicitly recognize the importance of the area to First Nations for social, ceremonial and cultural uses. Conservancies provide for a wider range of low impact, compatible economic opportunities than Class A parks, however, commercial logging, mining and hydroelectric power generation, other than local run-of-the-river projects, are prohibited. The designation would only apply to provincial Crown land.
The public is invited to comment on the proposed 2015 Great Bear Rainforest order and potential BMTAs/conservancy June 11, 2015 to August 10, 2015.
Copies of the proposed order and associated maps, and maps of the potential BMTAs/conservancy are available online at: https://www.for.gov.bc.ca/TASB/SLRP/GBR_BMTA_LUOR.html

The moment you left me, my heart was split in two.
One side was filled with memories, the other side died with you.I often lay awake at night when the world is fast asleep; and take a walk down memory lane with tears upon my cheek.Remembering you is easy, I do it every day;But missing you is a heartache that never goes away.I hold you tightly within my heart and there you will
remain. Life has gone on without you, but it will never be the same.
Loving and missing you,

Prince Rupert Rescue 15 was formed in 1975 to provide land, air and sea search and rescue for Prince Rupert and the North Coast of B.C.
The name Rescue 15 came from the old emergency telephone number 15 used in Prince Rupert to contact the RCMP and other emergency services, similar to the 911 emergency number of today. Before the formation of Rescue 15, volunteers were part of the local division of the Civil Defense dating back to World War 2.
In 1977 the Provincial Emergency Program of B.C. (PEP) was formed and Rescue 15 signed on with PEP to get better access to training resources and WCB protection. Then, during the early 1980s, the Canadian Coast Guard Auxiliary was formed and once again Rescue 15 joined this government body to acquire better training for marine search and rescue.
When Rescue 15 was formed in 1975, the marine team used mainly tugs, fishing and private vessels for search and rescue in and around Prince Rupert. It was decided a few years later that Rescue 15 would have to raise funds through public donations to purchase a dedicated lifeboat that would be crewed by volunteers. In 1977, a 16-foot Zodiac inflatable boat, powered by a 55 hp engine, was purchased. This vessel was the first dedicated lifeboat in Prince Rupert.
This boat was joined later by a second Zodiac inflatable that was loaned to Rescue 15 by PEP following a request by Joint Rescue Coordination Centre in Victoria. Along with the Coast Guard Vessel Cloo-Stung, these two Zodiacs provided search and rescue coverage until the arrival of the C.G. 123 (later named the Point Henry). In the early 1980s, PEP had withdrawn from marine search and rescue, but continued to support Rescue 15 in land search and rescue.
In 1981 it was decided to upgrade Rescue 15’s marine capability. A fundraising campaign was started and on Dec. 24, 1982 the Prince Rupert Lifeboat came into service — a rigid hull inflatable lifeboat. Since that time the Rupert Lifeboat has been available for service continuously, apart for one month in 1984 when major modifications were made to the bow sponsoon following tube separation while on service to assist the (late) Norsal in May of that year.
The Lifeboat is a 20-foot, 6-inch Hurricane 600 powered by two 50 hp Yamaha outboard engines, which gives the Lifeboat a response speed of 35 knots. For crew safety the boat
is equipped with self-righting gear on the rear cage. Two search lights are mounted on swivels, one on each side of the self-righting cage and these are supplemented by two hand-held search lights, which are a little heavy on the dual battery system but essential when 80 per cent of calls are at night. The boat and equipment were chosen very carefully from Canadian resources to match the Royal National Lifeboat Institution requirements for a fast response inshore lifeboat.
In 1988, Prince Rupert Marine Rescue purchased a 23-foot Zodiac Mark 6 and named it the Rainbow Responder. It was originally equipped it with two OMC 150 hp each. This vessel was an open vessel at the time and was later re-powered by two 175 hp Evinrudes when a small cabin was aadded.
In 2007, the Rainbow Responder was repowered again with twin 175 hp Mercury engines.
In late 2011 Rainbow Responder was sold to provide the last bit of funding for the purchase of a new vessel.
In January 2012, Prince Rupert Marine Rescue took possession of its new vessel, Orme G. Stuart. This vessel was fundraised by volunteers and cost approximately $600,000. The vessel is just under 37-foot, self-rollover type vessel, capable of 15 meter seas and hurricane force winds. This vessel features three stretchers, heat, air conditioning and many other crew and passenger comforts. This vessel is capable of 40 knot speeds
In mid-2014, PRMR purchased an old Hurricane Zodiac 733 from the RCM-SAR head office. This vessel is a 24-foot, open rigid hull inflatable vessel with roll over capabilities. This vessel was just refitted to near new rescue standards, bringing the total cost of the vessel of approximately $100,000, and it is currently a secondary, full-service vessel. This vessel is also capable of speeds well in excess of 40 knots.
As of 2015, Prince Rupert Marine Rescue continues to operate and thrive with approximately 35 dedicated volunteers. Over the past 40 years, Prince Rupert Marine Rescue has responded to over 1,600 incidents on land, air and sea, with approximately 3,000 persons assisted and over 150 lives saved.
This year, Seafest pays tribute to the men and women who volunteer to help keep the North Coast safe.
