Phase II expected to be done before 2015By Shaun Thomas

The Northern View

Prince Rupert Port Authority president and CEO Don Krusel says he expects Phase 2 expansion to bring additional capacity to Fairview Terminal “before 2015”.

Krusel made the comments while addressing the BC Chamber of Commerce Transportation Summit 2012 earlier this week, and came on the heels of a discussion about the road/rail/utility corridor being developed at Ridley Island.

“Integrated with this development, Phase 2 expansion of Fairview Container Terminal is expected to bring an additional

500,000 TEUs of container capacity online before 2015,” Krusel told those gathered in Vancouver on June 5.

Both the phase 2 expansion and the road/rail/utility corridor are part of the Prince Rupert Port Authority’s 20/20 Gateway Development Plan, which Krusel said would further vault Prince Rupert onto the national and international shipping stage.

“The full build-out and realization of this plan would make Prince Rupert the second largest port in the country. It would expand the Port’s annual throughput capacity to well over a 100 million tonnes to support Canadian trade. It represents over $10 billion in capital expansion. It

would also provide in excess of 4,000 new, permanent, full-time jobs. Those are exciting prospects and developments,” he said.

“Our 20/20 Gateway Development Plan gives us the tools we need to line up the right infrastructure, terminals and partners required to find the best solution for Canadian industry seeking access to Asian and world markets.”

The catalyst behind the 20/20 Gateway Development Plan, said Krusel, is the continued growth in demand from Asian markets.

“Asia’s appetite for our natural resources is increasing year over year.”

The Aboriginal organization Coastal First Nations is calling into question the validity of Enbridge’s claim that the majority of eligible First Nations have decided to accept a stake in the Northern Gateway Pipeline project.

May 31 was the deadline for First Nations groups to decide to accept the company’s offer of a piece of the 10 per cent equity stake in the controversial project that has been set aside for First Nations. According to Enbridge, as

of the deadline about 60 per cent of the First Nations along the pipeline route in both BC and Alberta have decided to accept their offer.

The thing is, Enbridge can’t say which First Nations decided to take the deal.

“We greatly appreciate the careful consideration of the Aboriginal groups who have opted to take an ownership stake in the project and who will now be our partners in realizing the economic benefits of Northern Gateway. We are contractually prohibited from disclosing the identities of our Aboriginal partners at this time.

Public disclosure is a matter for individual communities,” said Enbridge representative, Paul Stanway.

In the wake of this announcement, Coastal First Nations – which represents First Nations from the North and Central coast of BC and on Haida Gwaii – says that the company’s claim is “a complete sham”.

“We have checked with all the First Nations on the pipeline route west of Prince George and only two First Nations have signed equity agreements,” says the organization’s executive director,

Art Sterrit.Coastal First Nations is saying

that Enbridge has padded its numbers by increasing the proposed corridor by 80 kilometres in order to offer deals to more First Nations. They say many of the groups that have accepted an equity share in the project live far away from areas that would be impacted by a spill.

Enbridge has also said that 80 per cent of the combined First Nations and Metis population along the pipeline route have decided to be part owners in the project. Coastal First Nations also takes issue with including the Metis in the

calculation as well, which they say shows that Enbridge is i n c l u d i n g groups that have no t e r r i t o r y inside the corridor.

“We are a b s o l u t e l y m y s t i f i e d about the inclusion of the Metis in E n b r i d g e ’s 60 per cent. It’s ridiculous to include groups that don’t have

Aboriginal Rights and Title to land within the pipeline corridor,” says Sterrit.

While the Coastal First Nations say that the aboriginal communities most likely to be affected if a spill happens remain firmly opposed to the pipeline and the tankers, Enbridge is saying that even if they’re not declaring it publicly, many First Nations are seeing the benefits that a share in the pipeline represents to their communities.

“The most significant way in which Aboriginal people can benefit from the Project is by owning a stake in it and sharing in the revenue it produces. Through equity ownership, Aboriginal people will be able to generate a significant new and stable revenue stream that could help achieve the priorities of their communities – such as improved health care, education and housing. The long-term financial benefits for participating as shareholders will be significant,” says Stanway.

The company says that the 10 per cent share in the pipeline is expected to be worth $280 million over the 30 year life of the pipeline. The equity deal the Gitxsan signed late last year (and then backed out of) would have given them $7-million of that, or $233,000 per year. It costs the City of Prince Rupert about that much every year just to run the cemetery.

Claim of 60% native pipeline support a “compete sham”

The assistant commissioner for the Canadian Coast Guard, Pacific Region, Vija Poruks, is in Prince Rupert this weekend as Seafest salutes the Coast Guard on its 50th anniversary.

The 50th anniversary and Seafest celebration come at when the Coast Guard is undergoing some major restructuring, including moving down to two Marine Traffic Control Stations in BC – one on Vancouver Island and one in Prince Rupert - and moving from five regions across the country to three. Despite the changes, Poruks said the future for the Coast Guard is bright in Prince Rupert and across the country.

In Prince Rupert Poruks said there may be more staff as one of the two MCTS stations in the

province, and getting renovations done to the aging base at Seal Cove is certainly on the radar. As well, later today the Coast Guard is welcoming a new pollution response vessel and there could be more on the way.

“There are two mid-shore patrol vessels arriving in BC in the near future to create more of a presence, and we’re in the process of determining where they will be. It is speculative at this point, but I could see one being for the north and one being for the south,” she said.

“The north coast is isolated but, as I think everyone in Prince Rupert is aware, is an important entry point to Canada. It is also an area where maritime activity is on the upswing...The Coast Guard presence here is solid, and how that looks going forward is an item of discussion.”

On the national level, Poruks notes that there is reason for optimism for the organization.

“The announcement of an additional $5.2 billion is a strong message form the Federal Government that the Coast Guard is here to stay. It is a huge signal that the Coast Guard is solid,” she said.

The Prince Rupert Port Authority released its traffic stats for May 2012 on June 5, and the figures show that growth at Fairview Terminal is continuing.

In May the terminal handled 46,043 TEUs, up 56.2 per cent from the 29,480 handled last May. The number of imported TEUs was up 41.8 per cent, from 19,062 last May to 27,024 this May, and the number of exported TEUs was up 82.6 per cent from 10,418 last year to 19,019 this year.

When it comes to year-to-date numbers, the growth is also substantial. So far this year Fairview Terminal has handled 219,692 TEUs, up over 100,000 from the previous year for an increase of 87.1 per cent. The number of containers being imported is up 80.5 per cent and sits at 124,873 while the number of containers being exported has almost doubled from 48,229 in the first five months of last year to 94,818 in the first five months of 2012.

Ridley Terminals continues to rebound from a slow start to the year and in May handled 1.18 million tonnes compared to 958,964 tonnes last May, a difference of 23.1 per cent. SO far this year the tonnage handled at RTI is up seven per cent, sitting at 4.29 million tonnes compared to 4.01 million tonnes last year.

Prince Rupert Grain was down 5.1 per cent in May, falling from 515,320 tonnes to 488,989 this

May, and so far this year is down 0.2 per cent, sitting at 2.228 million tonnes compared to 2.23 million tonnes last year.

Log exports through the Prince Rupert Harbour continue to drop, falling 42.2 per cent this May compared to last May and 56.2 per cent so far this year - from 220,568 in 2011 to 96,589 tonnes in 2012.

Overall though, traffic through the Port of Prince Rupert is up compared to last May and so far this year. In May there were 2.16 million tonnes moved compared 1.82 million tonnes last May, a difference of 18.4 per cent, and so far this year there have been 8.81 million tonnes moved compared to 7.65 million tonnes, a difference of 15.3 per cent.

In terms of passenger traffic heading into the summer months, there were 17.4 per cent fewer domestic passengers/vehicle travelers and 15.6 per cent fewer p a s s e n g e r / v e h i c l e travelers from the Alaska Marine Highway. Those numbers so far this year are down 3.4 per cent and 19.7 per cent respectively.

The one cruise ship in May brought 1,362 passengers, a far cry from the 7,311 passengers last May.

RCMP Commissioner Bob Paulson was the speaker at the Prince Rupert and District Chamber of Commerce on June 6, and spoke about some of the challenges facing the force.

Commissioner Paulson, who served in Prince Rupert from 1992 to 1994, didn’t hold back in acknowledging some of the stories that have painted the RCMP in a negative light, including an officer who was caught shoplifting being let go and another officer involved in a domestic disturbance only being demoted and sent to counseling.

“If you came down from Mars and just started reading the newspaper, you wouldn’t have a very favourable impression of the RCMP,” he said, noting that these cases shed a negative light on the thousands of officers who do exceptional work

every day.“You can’t allow that type of behaviour to impact the

organization’s ability to do the job it is tasked to do and we are almost at that point, particularly in the Lower Mainland of BC...My strategic direction for the RCMP has been to focus on the core business of policing.”

Paulson said criticism is particularly strong in BC. He has been asked by officers why he, as commissioner, isn’t out more publicly defending the force in the media and said it’s just not the right thing to do.

“I’m not sure it is wise leadership to argue ‘well there’s the odd bad apple, there are bound to be in any organization, so Canadians don’t be so hard on us’. I’ve determined it is not the way to go because it is not the honourable way to go...The only way to counter the criticism aimed at us is through action,” he said.

Although he noted the disciplinary means within the force are being re-examined, including “very swift and efficient means of removing” an officer who brings disgrace to the uniform, he said discipline should be focused on correcting attitudes and behaviours at the earliest possible point, including early intervention with the officers.

As for how the force can improve, Paulson noted there needs to be more transparency in how decisions are made and how people are chosen for promotions. He also pointed to a current practice that needs to end to create a more ethical organization.

“Having personal loyalty driving the line of effort in

our organization has to stop...It can’t be allowed to happen in Canada’s national police force,” he said.

The Commissioner’s trip to BC is to meet with the contract advisory committee overseeing the new 20 year contract between the province and the force. To that end, Paulson said he hopes to see more options for public feedback and input.

“When in the contract role, you are providing a service to meet the expectations of the people paying the contract. A message we heard loud and clear is that if people are going to pay for policing, they want to have a say in how the service is delivered,” he said.

“Huge private-sector investments are planned and well underway in Western Canada’s natural resources, including potash, coal, minerals, forest products, and biofuels—to name just a few. These investments, and the thousands of new jobs associated with them, are depending on the availability of new West Coast export capacity,” said Krusel.

“Although the U.S. will always be a critical market for Canada, the spotlight now is clearly on China and the emerging Asian markets, which are now driving global economic growth.”

B.C.’S #1 SELLING LINE OF PICKUPS.∞


OPINIONNorth Coast

First off, hats off to the organizers of this weekend’s Seafest, and all of the people who came out to volunteer to make this event happen.

A large part of the quality of life people in Prince Rupert enjoy is because of the volunteer efforts of others in the community, and those efforts are something that can never be taken for granted.

In the spirit of celebration, I thought I would borrow this editorial from a fellow Black Press editor about the recently announced Family Day stat holiday. It pretty much sums up my thoughts on the debate about adding another holiday to the schedule.

Get ready to put your work tools down – be they a hammer, pen, or serving tray – and spend more time with your kin next February as the B.C. government announced the latest statutory holiday, Family Day, is scheduled for the second week of the month.

In this case, February 11 is the date.It will cost the business community in B.C. an estimated

$62 million and place increased pressure on budgets – especially those running a small business they say. Well, that’s assuming everyone enjoying the break stays at home and asks meekly for another lump of coal for the fire.

But what do many of us do over a long weekend? Those keen on hitting the malls will do just that – and plenty of retail operations will likely be more than willing to entice them to shop with some keen price promotions.

Some of us will dine out, and some outdoor-minded folk may head to the slopes of local ski hills. All of that will add up to some economic activity.

But the biggest return from all of this isn’t the money we spend on food, entertainment, consumer goods, or outdoor recreation. It’s the theme of the holiday that should pay

dividends here.It will provide families stressed by the hectic pace of

school, work and other activities the opportunity to spend some quality time with each other.

British Columbians need a break, and one with family makes sense.

MY VIEW…

A look at the Family Day stat in 2013...

The Internet, which on one hand creates seemingly infinite competition, also offers opportunities.

The concept of Long Tail Tourism comes from the book The Long Tail: How Endless Choice is Creating Unlimited Demand. The idea is that markets that were once difficult to reach are now within the reach of even the smallest players; it might be beyond your means to join in the leading “head” of marketing, the expensive TV and magazine campaigns, but it is easy to slip inside the long tail. In Wikipedia Long Tail economics says that “the distribution and inventory costs of these businesses allow them to realize significant profit out of selling small volumes of hard-to-find items to many customers, instead of only selling large volumes of a reduced number of popular items.”

In a tourism sense, Prince Rupert itself, let alone our specialized experiences, is one of those hard-to-find items. We’re not in the mass-market business of Banff or Niagara

Falls. It costs a little more to get here, requires a greater investment of time and effort, but it is extremely appealing to those interested in grizzly bears, Northwest Coast cultures, saltwater fishing, and so on. And access to those markets is within our reach. A business, including our collective business of tourism in Prince Rupert, needs to manipulate the Internet in order to help those interested consumers find us, and see that it’s easier to get here than they might assume.

Any business or attraction that can be found on the web can benefit from the Long Tail. Let’s use a concrete example. The Prince Rupert Fire Museum is a fascinating addition to what we can offer visitors to Prince Rupert, but is not large enough, and too specialized, to justify heavy traditional

marketing. It receives limited mention in venues such as our annual Visitor Guide, where it shares space with everything from sport fishing to the Khutzeymateen, and it likely isn’t a primary trip motivator for the readers of 60,000 Visitor Guides produced each year.

But that’s not to say that there aren’t far more than 60,000 people out there who would be fanatically interested in the opportunity to study a restored

1925 R.E.O. Speedwagon or 1958 American LaFrance fire engine. But how to reach them? Traditionally, it would have depended on a mention here and there, a very slow word-of-mouth information network, assisted by difficult to find newsletters and clubs for enthusiasts. Now, those enthusiasts are the click of a mouse away. For the interested consumer already considering Prince Rupert, they are linked directly to the Fire

Museum website which offers specialized information.

But why wait? The Internet allows promoters to reach out into these specialized niche markets. A quick Google search reveals endless options: from the Historic Fire Engine Association in New South Wales to the Miami Valley Antique Fire Apparatus Association. Most of these societies include chat boards, where local promoters can simply join a conversation and plant a seed among people interested enough in this subject that when they find out that the Fire Museum could be included on a rail/ferry tour, or an Alaskan cruise, it could actually be a primary motivator for an entire trip.

This only makes sense, in an increasingly competitive world, where consumers are empowered by tools such as TripAdvisor or CruiseCritic. The beauty of this is that anybody can do it, regardless of the size of their operation, and it doesn’t have to cost anything to substantially increase traffic.

Letters to the EditorHAVE SOMETHING TO SAY? Send your letter to [email protected],

fax to 624-8085 or mail to 225 3rd Street, Prince Rupert, B.C., V8J 1R1

Editor: I would like to respond to

the negative letters to the pellet project.

Residents discuss strong opposition to pellet terminal and that industrial developments shouldn’t be along the waterfront.

First let me say I am neither for nor against the pellet project at this date. There will be an open discussion on the 18th of this month which I urge all residents to attend.

First and foremost, yes Prince Rupert has the distinction of having one of the highest per assessment taxes in the province. This is due to the lack of industrial development. City council and the residents have opposed development for years. This has resulted in a tax

shift to the residential sector, which cannot support the City’s infrastructure.

City councillors should be trying to find ways to ease the tax burden on residents, not scare residents into voting down new industrial developments. They should be neutral and listen to the community, not vice versa.

As mentioned Prince Rupert has endured a boom and bust economy because Prince Rupert has run its finances on speculation and at the same time is restricting commercial development, whether it is industrial or retail - again causing the tax base to shift to the home owner. That’s why the roads, parks, trail; leisure and recreation facilities have suffered.

As far as the city councillor saying that this will be a blow to

the City’s finances is not entirely correct. It’s another scare tactic used by certain individuals to sway a vote. The City’s finances are already a shambles, that is why taxes are rising and services are declining.

As for your home being a long term investment in your future, it has long been held that people should not count on their home being the source of their financial retirement plan, mostly in such a volatile housing market as in Prince Rupert. Best seek the help of a financial advisor at a young age.

As far as trucks in the downtown area, you should be asking Council what happened to the Wantage road project that would divert the trucks away from the downtown core.

As for hiring only 13 employees you must take into account the multiplier factor. What this generates in this case is supposedly $350,000. Every time a business says it will employ 10/12 employees they are “shot” down. Has anyone ever stopped to think that 10 small employers would equal 130 new jobs?

I was also told that at one time there was a grain elevator on that site, which nobody opposed.

As for having industrial land within the City, you only need to go to Merritt, B.C. and you will find that the sawmill is in the city with the land they are on designated industrial.

We do not live in an isolated community. With access by road, air and rail we are, or should be open for business.

This means looking at all the opportunities that come our way not rejecting them on the basis of some self-interest group or person.

In Shelley Stafford’s last paragraph she comments that the Government of Canada needs to consider opening up the Prince Rupert city ocean front area for community development. A very worthy idea.

However this is purely political.

As long as our MP is not a member of the incumbent party, in this case we have an NDP MP and the Conservative party is in power, the governing party will not consider helping your community; you will only get a pittance, if you are lucky.

Len Lovering

Some additional considerations about the pellet terminal

Editor:Re: Proposed location for

Pinnacle Renewable EnergyI have been a resident of Prince

Rupert for 24 years, and I welcome new developments, including the Pinnacle Renewable Energy export terminal (the “Terminal”): however, the proposed location of the Terminal is ridiculous.

The June 6, 2012 Northern View provided a picture of the proposed terminal and dimensions for the silos. I need to be honest and state that I laughed out loud with this new information. Do people realize that these silos, possibly seven of them, will be close to the height of the Highliner?

Given I had no idea of the scope

of the project prior to this, I was dumbfounded that the PRPA would even consider this location.

I welcome the Terminal to Prince Rupert, but I am shocked that some at the PRPA feel this waterfront location is suitable. This location will negatively impact the quality of life for

Prince Rupert residents for years to come.

Yours truly,Sara Coburn

Proposed location of new pellet terminal “is ridiculous”

Supporters of Norther Gateway should do more research

Editor:Anyone in favour of the Northern Gateway

Pipeline should do a bit of research. How about checking out the Exxon Valdez

Lawsuit History? This spill was 23 years ago and the various lawsuits still drag on. Fishermen, cannery workers and others have, in most cases received no compensation at all – others have received very tiny settlements. Some residents, including the former mayor of Cordova, committed suicide because their livelihood had been totally destroyed. Is Enbridge any more trustworthy than the wonderful people who ruined so much of Prince William Sound?

Do you really think oil company execs care about your welfare? If you believe they do then check out their treatment of Cordova and Valdez residents. Do you believe our government is concerned with jobs? They and their rich buddies outsource as many jobs as possible. If the pipeline is completed and the companies start getting extremely high prices from Chinese sales do you think our own prices won’t rise? There are oil execs who think we should be paying European prices right now!

The Alaskan spill eventually covered 2,100 km of coastline and ruined 28,000 sq. km of ocean. Ask the people of Cordova and Valdez what they think of oil companies and their leaky tankers now.

If Harper has his way, I shudder for the pathetic future of this beautiful region.

Coast Guard gets new response vesselBy Shaun Thomas

The Northern View

The Prince Rupert detachment of the Canadian Coast Guard officially received its new pollution response vessel at their base in Seal Cove on Friday.

The boat doesn’t have a name, just a number: CGE-731. Its a relatively small three-person craft. The boat itself is quite versatile, it can sail in shallow waters and there’s a loading ramp on the front that can be lowered to allow it to dock and unload equipment right onshore or to mount equipment such as an oil skimmers out the front of

the boat.While the

731 is able to help clean up spills if need be, the Coast Guard points out that they are not the first-responders for cleaning up pollution. That respons ib i l i ty lies with whoever caused the spill in the first place, if the Coast Guard can find them.

“Our job is a bit like a nagging aunt. When we see the mess, we find out who made it and make

sure they clean it up,” jokes the coast guard’s assistant commissioner, Vija Poruks.

The Coast Guard hopes

that if the 731 has to be used, that it will be there for support and coordinating the clean-up effort.

Hope everyone enjoyed Seafest. By the time this column gets printed Seafest will have come and gone, but looking at the weather forecast there will be sunny skies for most of the celebration.

To all our Bingo fans, yes we will

be continuing all summer long with the Wednesday Seniors’ Bingo but are cancelling Friday Bingo in July and August.

It will start up again middle of September and I will have those dates for you as the time nears. We will be playing cards on Friday at 1:00 during July and August, crib or whist, and we welcome all seasoned and beginner players. If we follow Monday’s lead, there is always a “social” break during the afternoon with

refreshments served! Come down anytime to find out more.

So far Dawn is continuing with her computer lessons at the Centre but I assume that she will be taking a summer break as well. If you are already receiving lessons you will know the schedule but if you are thinking of coming down to sign up for lessons there may be a wait. However, on days that are not busy there may be somebody here at the Centre that can give you a little help…

On Wednesday, June 6, the North Coast Liberal Riding Association held an AGM and dinner at Theanne’s Greek Palace in Prince Rupert, where Prince George - Mackenzie MLA Pat Bell was the guest speaker, and discussed a number of issues the North Coast, and Canada, should be paying attention to.

“Typically I try to get to the Northwest a couple times a year. It’s a big area from an economic perspective, it’s very important to the province. It’s like the key that could unlock prosperity, not just for northern British Columbia, but also for Canada,” commented Bell, who is BC’s Minister of Jobs, Tourism and Innovation.

During Bell’s speech to members, he discussed the need for BC to aim at continuing to increase its tourism and exporting industries and the need to look to countries such as China to keep learning about the economy.

In an exclusive interview with the Prince Rupert Northern View, Bell touched on local topics such as the announcement the provincial

government and CN made last fall about expanding the railways surrounding the port in Prince Rupert.

“It’s proceeding very well. All the pieces are in place and we’re expecting to see them move forward. We’re in consultations with First Nations right now, to make sure we respect any of the specific cultural issues pertaining to the site. It will be full steam ahead,” he said.

Aside from the port, Bell said he thinks there are a few “sleepers” in terms of industries in the region, the first being the forest industry.

“Traditionally it’s been a real challenge for the area because of the cost of extracting the timber from the bush, but I think that’s about to change. Because of the price of lumber, the central interior will see a downfall in terms of the amount of supply. There’s really no global supply opportunity out there and as the United States starts to build more homes and we continue get growth in China and India, there will be an overall shortage of fiber,” he said.

“This is one of the areas

that have significant potential.”

Another area Bell said people should watch out for is the opportunity around international education and educational tourism.

“In BC we have about 94,000 students that come from other countries to get some level of education… Each of those students adds roughly $50,000 to the economy. It’s not an area Prince Rupert has had a lot of attention, but I think there is an opportunity for an expansion of international education. It’s a logical location for people to come to given the nature of the trading relationship that we have internationally.”

Changing topics to move on to the Liberal Party, Bell discussed what he believes would help them gain popularity in the North Coast. Bell says there is three things people are looking for that Liberal candidates should think about when running. He says this includes the economic outlook for people’s personal lives, such as is

there going to be a good paying job for them, and health services and an education system that meets the needs of them and their families.

As for the possibility of the Liberal Party changing their name, Bell says he doesn’t have an issue with it.

“If people thinks that’s important I’m okay with it, but after 11 years people know who I am,” he commented.

Bell has visited the community a number of times in the past for work, and says he has always enjoyed spending time here, mentioning a particular way he likes to spend any extra time he may have.

“If I had half an hour [to spare], I would go to the museum. I think it’s spectacular. The quality of Aboriginal artwork that’s in there is really second to none.”

CELEBRATING 40 YEARS AS A NATIONAL HARBOUR

On June 1 investigators of the Prince Rupert RCMP General Investigation Section (GIS), assisted by uniform officers, executed a search warrant at an apartment in the 600 block of Fulton St in Prince Rupert.

Several individuals were located within the residence at the time and cocaine and prescription drugs were seized. Cpl Chamberlain of the Prince Rupert RCMP GIS notes that there has been a lot of drug activity, be it using or trafficking, within the apartment building. In this instance cocaine, Morphine, Ativan, Tylenol #3, and Oxycodone were among the items seized, along with other unidentified medications that are being sent for analysis.

43 year old Richard Trodd was found within the residence and has been charged with possession of cocaine and breach of an undertaking. Mr. Trodd is currently facing drug trafficking related charges from a 2010 police investigation.

Mr. Trodd later appeared before a Justice of the Peace and was released on strict conditions.

Cpl Chamberlain added that police are noticing an increase in the number of people abusing prescription medication without being under a doctor’s care, which in turn lends itself to a further demand for the pills and this leads to increased trafficking.

Police want to remind the public that it is illegal to possess prescription drugs without a doctor’s prescription and you may not sell, give or share prescription drugs according to Canadian Law. There are criminal consequences for these actions.

Sgt. Arseneault, who is the head of the North District Drug Enforcement Branch for the Prince Rupert Region, is also an expert in the trafficking of prescription drugs. Sgt. Arseneault notes that these medications are safe when used under the direction of a physician but can be very dangerous when abused or used strictly as a means to get “high”. Medications like Oxycontin, Morphine and Dilaudid are

very powerful drugs and illegal when not prescribed by a physician. Under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act they are classified in the same category as heroin and cocaine.

Police take the illegal sale of drugs very seriously in Prince Rupert and again ask for the public’s assistance in all aspects of drug education and enforcement to work toward safer home and safer communities.

If you have any information or wish to get involved please contact the Prince Rupert RCMP at 250-627-0700.

With the dance season wrapping up for the summer, the Dance Academy of Prince Rupert held their year-end recital on Friday, June 8, when a large number of dance students of all ages, and dancing backgrounds joined together to put on Dance Evolution.

The recital started off with “Loser Like Me”, an anti-bullying dance routine choreographed by Jennifer Kloppers. Over thirty students were included in the dance, which won second place in the song and dance category at the BC Annual Dance Competition held in May.

Teacher Meghan MacRae choreographed the following four numbers, the first being “Disco Inferno” by young students, “Swagger Jagger” by hip-hop disco-dancers, “Funky Ballerina” by the adorable Saturday morning pre-school students, and “Who Says” by preliminary jazz students.

Next on stage were tap students with “Orchestra”, a number choreographed by Nicholas Lydiate.

Young superheroes and villains took over the stage, performing “Spiderman” which was choreographed by Jennifer Kloppers. The all-boys group incorporated lots of somersaults into their dance routine.

Teresa Mackereth choreographed “Bunny Dance”, that the Tuesday afternoon pre-school students performed next.

The next performance was “Spoonful of Sugar” choreographed by Shannon Vallee.

Renae Atchison, Samantha Budnisky, Lola Clouthier, Piper Clouthier and Karlie Fudger gave it they’re all, singing and dancing to “The Shoop Shoop Song (It’s In His Kiss)” originally performed by Betty Everett, and redone by Cher.

Amber Kelly-Mackereth’s

“Ballroom Blitz” was next up, followed by Shannon Vallee’s “Waltz of the Flowers”.

Then, lovely ballerinas performed “Imagine” next, which was choreographed by Lia Murphy. This beautiful routine was also performed at the Lester Centre’s 25th anniversary gala last month.

Cute pre-school dancers performed “The Lion Sleeps Tonight”, a number choreographed by Teresa Mackereth.

Then seven pre-primary students performed “Birthday Party”, a dance choreographed by Shannon Vallee.

Junior competitive dancers took the stage next, performing “Out of this World”, a number done by Shannon Vallee, where students showed off their flexibility and contortionist skills.

Vallee also choreographed the next routine, “Lullaby”.

The largest hip-hop class performed “Do It Like This” next, choreographed by Meghan MacRae. Both young boys and girls gave it their all.

Finishing off the first half of the show was “The Race” performed by nearly twenty students.

The second half of the show started off with three numbers choreographed by Shannon Vallee, the first being “Skeleton’s Ball”, followed by “Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy”, a number that placed second in the Demi-Character category at the BC Annual, and finally “Rodeo”.

Then six ladies, Celine Foote, Jennifer Garcia, Sara McGovern, Navi Nanan, Bronte Pike and Madison Verde, performed the visually compelling number “When Doves Cry” by Lia Murphy.

Meghan MacRae choreographed the following three routines, the first being “Hello”, followed by “Supermodel” and “Robot Remains”, which was done by the adult hip-hop class.

Teenage dance students

performed “Circus” next, a routine choreographed by Shannon Vallee. Vallee also choreographed the following number, “Charleston”.

Up next was “I will Survive” choreographed by Nicholas Lydiate, a routine that placed in the top three in it’s category at the BC Annual.

London Clouthier, Hannah Graham and Bailey Rae performed their classical ballet small group number “Pas De Trois”, which was choreographed by Shannon Vallee.

Vallee also choreographed the next routine, “Bollywood”.

Meghan MacRae choreographed the following four numbers, the tap number “All I Do is Dream of You”, “Moves Like Jagger”, “Combo #5” and “Konnichiwa”.

Ken Shaw’s class of four, including himself, Neneng Milano, Kaori Millar and Helen Moore, performed the “Muskeg Jig” next, a Celtic dance routine included in this year’s Celtic Night and Lester Centre 25th anniversary gala.

The final routine of the evening was the musical theatre number “Heaven Hop” that over twenty students sang and danced to.

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.

Paws and Claws to help resolve cat issueBy Martina Perry

The Northern View

At the beginning of June, a new business opened its doors in Prince Rupert with an aim of helping to reduce the large population of stray and feral cats in the area.

Paws and Claws Thrift Store opened on June 1, and strives to not only have reasonable prices for people living in need in the community, but to also help contribute funds towards the Cannery Road Animal Rescue society.

“With the support of the public from the wonderful people in Port Edward and Prince Rupert, our store is committed to giving 40 per cent of our profits to the Cannery Road Animal Rescue. I think the society has a tremendous idea, something that is going to get a grasp on the situation with these cats that are living in misery,” said Gary Guenther, who along with partner Marianne Manson founded the new business.

The Cannery Road Animal Rescue society is made up of a

five-person board of directors out of Port Edward. The society’s goal is to perform a massive live trap on stray and feral cats in the region to help decrease the large amount of unhealthy and uncared for cats.

The society is hoping to get in contact with a veterinarian school to help with the operations and care of the cats.

The Paws and Claws Thrift Store is currently located at 230 Third Avenue, and is open on Monday through Friday at 9 a.m. through to 5 p.m. At this time, the store is accepting donations of items such as clothing, household items, children’s toys, and various other smaller items that the store can

sell.“Our goal is to have a lot

of items come in and go out in order to help the community,” mentioned Guenther, who has previously worked with the Critter Care Wildlife Society out of Langley for six years.

Since the opening, the Paws and Claws Thrift Store has been well received by the community for.

“There is really nice stuff here, I will definitely come back,” said customer Chie Orston.

◆ NEW THRIFT STORE

Paws and Claws owner Gary Guenther hands Alice Kruta, one of the founding members of the Cannery Road Animal Rescue Society, a cheque for $200. The store plans on giving cheques to the society on a monthly basis to help resolve the stray and feral cat issue the region has. The two hold young kittens that are currently being cared for by the society.

Drag race season continues this weekendBy Ed Evans

The Northern View

If you drive by the Terrace Regional Airport this weekend and see smoke rising, don’t worry and call the fire department.

It’s not a plane fire, a forest fire, it’s not even a controlled burn. It’s the second of four drag races scheduled for the Terrace Regional Airport this summer.

If you haven’t been able to catch any drag racing this year, this is the perfect opportunity. Unlike other forms of racing, the pits are open for you to walk around and check out, up close, the cars that are racing down the track. There are bleachers for you sit in to watch the 1/8 mile side by side racing. As you sit in the bleachers, the track announcer will keep you informed of whats happening on the track and there are big reader boards so you can see the reaction times, elapsed times and dial-in times of each car. There are vendors on the site so you can get a snack or even have lunch.

Drag racing starts out daily at 10 a.m. with time trials and eliminations starting at one p.m. Saturday June 16 will be “King of the YXT” and “Gamblers”. Sunday June 17 will be class racing with the “Jr. Dragster”, “Sportsman”, “Pro” and “Super Pro” classes racing in the year long “Points series”.

The The Skeena Valley Cruisers Father’s Day Show & Shine will be running at Canadian Tire Sunday June 17, from 10 a.m. to three p.m., with registration starting at nine a.m. After the big show, the cars will be cruising to the drag race for another Show & Shine and to watch drag racing.

So don’t miss out on the great racing and car shows this weekend, and ladies, take the husband or boyfriend out for a

ride and bring him to the track as a Father’s Day treat.

See you at the races!

Prince Rupert’s Gord Hidber tests out the new ride at the Season opener Ter-race Drags in May

By Shaun Thomas The Northern View

Women from around the northwest were in Prince Rupert during Seafest weekend for the annual Ladies Jubilee tournament, and Prince Rupert’s Cathy Horcoff who easily walked away with the victory.

Horcoff followed up an 82 on Saturday with an 82 on Sunday for a two-day total of 164. That score gave Horcoff the overall low gross title with a 16-stroke lead over the next closest competitor.

With a score of 180, Cynthia Rosario took home the overall low net with a two-day net of 144 based on scores of 92 and 88 and nets of 74 and 70.

It took a tie-breaker to determine the first low gross in the Championship Flight, with Rose Holkestad getting the nod over Aina Pettersen of Terrace after both ladies finished with a score of 188. Third low gross for the flight went to Susan McKenzie with a score of 197. Low net

in the flight was awarded to Joanne Sylveter with a net of 150, just ahead of Janice Malkow of Smithers with a net of 151. Third low net in the flight went to Fran Fowler with a net of 163.

In the first flight, low gross went to Pam Hays with a two-day total of 203, seven strokes ahead of Selma Standring. Third low gross in the flight went to Margaret Chan with a total of 219. Low net in the flight was awarded to Hilma Pylot with a net of 155, followed by Judy Fraser with a net of 164 and Andrea Pollock with a net of 166.

In the second flight, Low gross went to Barry-Anne Bury with a two-day total of 230, five strokes ahead of Carol Bryant. Third low gross went to Maria Wells with

a total of 238. Low net in the flight went to Sara Kerbrat of Smithers with a net of 150, followed by Linda Rae-Stevenson with a net of 16 and Kim Sugiyama with a net fo 167.
