SCHOOL’S OUT Closed-door talks solve

budget debateBY SHAUN THOMAS PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

After listening to members of the public for two hours the previous night, it was a closed-door session with members of the Canadian Union of Public Em-ployees (CUPE) on Thursday that brought closure to the debate around the City of Prince Rupert’s 2013 budgeting process.

During the meeting CUPE members brought forward suggestions on how the City could save at least $150,000 in operational spending, though neither Mayor Jack Mussallem, citing labour rela-tions confidentiality under the Community Char-ter, nor members of the union would comment on what those recommendations were.

Quading accident claims 30-year-oldPrince Rupert man trapped under ATV at Exstew

BY SHAUN THOMASPRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

A 30-year-old Prince Rupert man lost his life over the weekend as a result of a tragic quading accident between here and Terrace.

According to RCMP, the man was out riding his ATV with a group of friends on Sunday afternoon when his quad flipped while crossing a washed out portion of the forest service road at Exstew. The man was trapped under his quad and his friends attempted to lift the machine off of him. However, due to the suction of a submerged culvert, he was swept through the culvert and

over the Exstew waterfall. Terrace RCMP, Provincial Emergency

Program members and search and rescue personnel all responded to a 911 call placed by his friends shortly after 4:30 p.m. to look for the man. When police arrived they

met up with the group who had located the man, who was deceased, downstream of the waterfall.

“With the very warm weather we had followed by rain over the weekend, the creeks right now are high and quite treacherous,” said Const. Angela Rabut of the Terrace RCMP.

“We would urge caution to anyone crossing creeks either on foot or on ATVs.”

The investigation into the man’s death has now been turned over to the B.C. Coroner’s Office.

RCMP say it will be up to the Coroner when or if the name of the individual is released.

“We can protect jobs...”

With the a minimum of $150,000 in savings outlined by the union, council decided to balance the budget by reducing the proposed two per cent tax increase to 1.5 per cent and drawing down the accumulated surplus by approximately $523,000.

“Yesterday the message we heard was not just from the business community about not wanting a tax increase and not just people looking after the services we have... They wanted to see our City handled smarter,” said Councillor Joy Thorkelson, who introduced the motion at a special meeting on May 9.

“If we work smarter, as some of the ideas CUPE have suggested do, we can achieve that... If we don’t get the savings by the means CUPE suggested tonight, we have to get them elsewhere.”

Thorkelson’s motion easily found support among most members of council who were looking for a way to prevent a cut in hours to the recreation centre and preserve public works jobs.

“What was brought forward by CUPE makes absolute sense,” said Councillor Nelson Kinney.

“We can protect jobs and we can do the things that people said... As stewards of the City, we need to make sure we are financially responsible. Part of that responsibility is working with staff and our

City partners,” added Councillor Anna Ashley.

Mayor Jack Mussallem, however, was not as certain as others in the chamber.

“I am concerned. There is a whole lot of blind faith and a lot of good intentions here... I am very concerned if we don’t get there or part of the way there [to the savings], next year could be tighter for us,” he said, alluding to three contracts to be negotiated next year, potential utility increases and a half-million-dollar draw down on the surplus.

“Hopefully we won’t have a lot of emergencies.”

The previous motion to cut the City’s operational budget by three per cent across the board was brought back to the meeting by Mayor Mussallem, and unanimously rescinded.

Council passed first three readings of the revised budget, and held a vote to pass it at a regular meeting on Monday night.

BCCLA tackling Brooks investigation

BY MARTINA PERRYPRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

The weekend a candle light ceremony was held in memory of Justin Brooks, Emmalee McLean and Kayla Rose McKay, RCMP held meetings with the BC Civil Liberties Association (BCCLA), the Vancouver Aboriginal Transformative Justice Services Society (VATJSS) and the family of Brooks.

The meetings came after the Prince Rupert RCMP received attention from the Union of BC Indian Chiefs, the VATJSS and the BCCLA for how police investigate the deaths and disappearances of aboriginal people in the north.

“The Prince Rupert RCMP did meet with the BC Civil Liberties group, representatives from an Aboriginal Society and family and friends of an ongoing investigation over the weekend. While we sincerely appreciated the opportunity to have a constructive and collaborative conversation, it would not be fair nor respectful to the family and individuals present for me to speak directly to the conversations that took place regarding ongoing investigations,” said Vic Steinhammer from the Prince Rupert RCMP.

Micheal Vonn, Policy Director of the BC Civil Liberties Association, said the

association is operating “as somewhat of an intermediary” at this point, and is in a very preliminary place.

“These were first meetings for us. We were getting an understanding of the investigations from the family’s perspective and their concerns about the adequacy of the investigations,” Vonn said.

“We’re encouraged by the willingness of the RCMP to hear some of the concerns of the family. We’re waiting to see if some of that is reflected in how that investigation continues.”

The BCCLA will be compiling notes from their visit to Prince Rupert, when they met with not only the RCMP, but also family members of the young indigenous people. Vonn said the BCCLA is waiting on a couple more reports from family members, gathering information on the decisions made during the investigation and the policing

perspective on some of the issues the families raised.

When that is complete, Vonn said the BCCLA will be in a better position to identify any possible gaps or missing information. Then the association will go back to parties to see if any of these could be resolved.

“If there are things that should be happening here, or answers that should be provided, we would be looking to get to the bottom of those,” she said.

Sheri Latimer, Justin Brooks’ aunt, said the family is pleased to say the groups also met with the family of Justin Brooks over the first weekend of May. At the meeting the family was able to

give recent information they’ve heard, and were told the RCMP’s investigation is still ongoing.

Latimer said she hopes the RCMP keep in touch with the family.

“It feels good that these people have taken their time to help us magnify our voices. We don’t feel like we’re out of the loop as much anymore,” Latimer said.

In the mean time, the family continues to fundraise for a cash reward for anyone with helpful information on the happenings of Justin the night he passed. Justin’s family will be holding a loonie auction on Sunday, June 16 at noon at Chances.

“We don’t feel like we’re out of the loop as much

anymore.”- Sheri Latimer

Peter Wesley and Cheryl Ryan, Christine Smith of the VATJSS, Grand Chief Stewart Phillip of the Union of BC Indian Chiefs, and Sheri and Alex Latimer are seeking justice for Justin.

Council secrecy strikes again

Another election campaign has come and gone, with the ritual posturing of political parties and most news media searching for

anything they can portray as a conflict.Now comes the time to wonder why not enough

people cared, or informed themselves about the real problems of running this $40 billion corporation called the B.C. government.

Why would they, when the whole thing is presented as a combination of beauty contest and sports event, with endless discussion of polls and “attack ads” and who’s ahead and what’s the score?

We have seen the truth of former prime minister Kim Campbell’s observation that elections are no time to talk about serious issues. Indeed, there are some things you can’t speak of at all.

You can talk about child poverty, as long as you only discuss it based on federal statistics that do not measure poverty. Christy Clark started doing this as soon as she became B.C. Liberal leader, one of several issues where she dispensed with the facts and tried to copy a popular NDP stance instead She was all about families, which can of course be single people, single parents or pretty well anything you want them to be.

In fact the decline of the traditional family and the abdication of responsibility by many parents, fathers in particular, are central factors in the problem of poor and

neglected children. But you can’t talk about that, at least not during elections.

Whole areas of political discussion have devolved into euphemisms that are chosen because they can’t be defined. Everybody’s in favour of “affordable housing,” for instance. What they won’t admit is that this is code for subsidized housing, because then they would have to talk about how much the subsidy is, and who has to pay for it.

Good grief, that might raise the question of whether the state should be taking money away from some people and giving it to others so they can

live where they otherwise couldn’t afford to live.We even have rules preventing the media from reporting

polls on election day. People might be influenced by this, you see. If you tell them Party X is far ahead, they might stay home and mow the lawn instead. If you tell them someone is making a comeback, they might change their vote because they want to be on the winning side, or the one that has “momentum.” Just like any other sport. The news media are steadily losing influence with the public. There are many factors involved, including the vast array of information sources that are available at most people’s fingertips.

Another factor is treating the public like they’re idiots.Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black

So much for an open and transparent budget process.

After months of debating how to balance the books, city council met with members of CUPE in an unannounced, close door meeting that neither group is willing to talk about. From that meeting came word that CUPE had identified $150,000 in operational savings that, for whatever reason, council and staff were unable

to come up with on their own. What those savings are we may never know as the discussion was done in a semi-secret in-camera meeting that surely nobody but those involved knew about.

And after that meeting, following lengthy debate about drawing down $500,000 from the accumulated surplus

and the precarious situation it could leave the City in, all of council seemed to have no problem pulling $523,000 out of savings to balance the books. Given how highly council praised CUPE for their ideas, one can’t help but wonder if this and the 1.5 per cent tax increase idea also came from the union.

So from this CUPE comes out looking like heroes who rode in on a gallant steed with fresh ideas and money saving possibilities to save jobs and save the hours at the civic centre.

Council, however, comes off looking more like the mud the steed ran through to get there.

Why was CUPE able to come up with $150,000 in cost savings seemingly overnight that the City couldn’t over the course of a year? Where are these savings coming from? Why did this meeting take place the same day as the first three readings of a budget instead of months and months ago? Why was council so keen to acknowledge CUPE and their ideas while handing out a fleeting acknowledgment of those who came out for two hours the previous night to give their input? What discussions took place among council that made everybody suddenly alright with significantly drawing down a surplus after voting on April 29 to cut operations to prevent just that?

Perhaps next time the City should turn to CUPE at the start of the budgeting process. They seem to have the answers council does not.

Letters to the editor Coast Guard keeps marine traffic talkingA critical component

of harbour safety provided by the

Canadian Coast Guard (CCG) is the round-the-clock coverage of the Marine Communications and Traffic Services (MCTS) officers and equipment stationed at Prince Rupert’s Seal Cove base. Their role is to ensure the safety of life at sea, protection of the environment, and the efficient movement of commercial shipping and infor-mation for business and national interests. Of the CCG’s MCTS Regions, the Pacific Region handles more than 50% of Canada’s total vessel movements.

“What we do in MCTS for vessel traffic is not unlike what flight services provide to air traffic at major airports,” says Art Statham, Officer in Charge, Prince Rupert. “The obvious difference is we’re working with ships on water, and our geographic area of responsibility in Prince Rupert extends from Alaska to Vancouver, including the Port of Prince Rupert and its vessel approaches. Our team provides professional oversight and service to this busy marine area. We also act as the equivalent to calling 9-1-1 for all emergencies on the water. Whether a vessel is lost in the fog, out of gas or sinking and on fire, we take the call and coordinate a response as required.”

In 2012’s twelve-month period, Prince Rupert’s CCG MCTS logged a total of 23,214 vessel traffic movements. A portion of those calls is dedicated to vessel screening, which involves communicating with ships prior to entering Canadian waters, making sure they comply with applicable regulations and identifying any ship defects and/or deficiencies to minimize the possibility of marine pollution. MCTS staff also monitor all vessel movements, providing recommendations and directions if required, and conduct specialized surveillance that supports other government agencies like Transport Canada and the RCMP.

Much of the work done by CCG MCTS directly supports work done at the Port of Prince Rupert. The vessel information collected, analyzed and shared with the Port Authority is particularly important to daily operations. The communications relayed for pilotage requests and estimated arrival times are crucial to the efficient flow of trade through the Port of Prince Rupert.

Currently Prince Rupert has a total of 17 MCTS staff, who rotate in twelve-hour shifts with three staff working 24/7, 365 days a year. These operations will be undergoing a significant expansion in April 2014, when Prince Rupert becomes one of two MCTS locations on the Pacific Coast. Its geographic area of coverage will encompass the entire west coast of Vancouver Island. This will mean at least nine additional MCTS staff moving to Prince Rupert within twelve months, and an increase to five staff working at any given time.

“Our local Marine Communications and Traffic Services team works closely with the Harbour Master’s Office to ensure the safe and secure transit of the 450-plus commercial vessels that currently call on the Port of Prince Rupert each year,” says Gary Paulson, Harbour Master for the Prince Rupert Port Authority. “This vigilant group of eyes and ears on our waters at all time, stationed here in Prince Rupert and poised for expansion, is one of the valuable assets that will enable our port to grow in a safe, secure and sustainable manner.”

Officer comes to RCMP’s defense

Editor:Re: Who killed Justin, Kayla, Emmalee?I have been a police officer with the

Royal Canadian Mounted Police for the last eight years. During that time I have lived in and policed Prince George, Laxgalts’ap, New Aiyansh and Prince Rupert. Prior to starting my career I grew up here in this community and graduated from Charles Hays.

When I had my own children I decided to return to this community to raise them. Regardless of where I transfer to next, Prince Rupert will always be my home.

For the last three years I have had the pleasure of working with some of the most professional police officers that I have encountered. Together with the help of many unsung heroes working for partner agencies, we have done our best to assist community members during their worst hours. Prince Rupert is not immune to alcohol/drug abuse, suicide, domestic violence, mental health issues, violent crime and tragedy. I have witnessed this community’s police officers attend horrific collisions, talk a young man into taking a shotgun out of his mouth, talk people back over the railing of the 6th Avenue Bridge, discover dead people and intervene in domestic assaults among other things. I share this to illustrate that while we signed up for this career, it takes a heavy emotional toll on the members of your community that are tasked with carrying out these duties.

I have not been involved in the investigations of the tragic deaths of Justin Brooks, Kayla Rose McKay and Emmalee McLean. I do not have any inside knowledge about the investigations. I will say that when something extremely tragic like their deaths happen, you have an entire detachment in shock, dismay and everyone is affected by a profound sadness. What happens in the community, especially one as tight knit as Prince Rupert, affects all members of it. The only goal of the team assigned to investigate occurrences like this is to gather all available evidence and use that to try and figure out what happened. If the evidence supports that a crime has been committed then the process to have culprit(s) charged begins.

My reason for writing today is to suggest that when tragedy strikes the whole community

breaks. Everyone, including the police, desire and work towards finding answers, so that the community and the loved ones of the people involved can try their best to grieve, find some closure and if someone is responsible to hold them accountable. Comments from groups outside the community like “...the [RCMP] are only interested in protecting their own, and they certainly are not attempting to bring justice to the native people in the north”, that the police “jump to conclusion[s]” and “the RCMP were very indifferent and negligent...” do nothing to help repair the damage done by the event, to help find out the truth or to support the people whose job it is to investigate. All they do is damage years of relationship building and create distrust.

If I worked with a bunch of people who were negligent, indifferent and prejudiced towards a particular group of people I would not continue to serve beside them and wear the uniform that I do. Rather than criticize in the media before having all the facts or seeing what each investigation actually entailed, why not sit down for a dialogue with an open mind and ask what can I, or my organization, do to promote healing in this place?

The overwhelming majority of police officers take that open minded approach with them to every community they live in, every meeting they have with partners/clients and every house they walk into. They then ask themselves that question and do the best they can with what they have.

Some suggestions for the City’s futureEditor: On May 8 at the civic centre, city

council held a meeting concerning the budgetary problems facing Prince Rupert. It was an interesting evening.

Three scenarios were provided for the shortfall in funds for a balanced budget. What was curious about the proceedings was the fact that Council only provided short term fixes for a long term problem.

Raising taxes and cutting services was the third option. However, this solution only addressed a one year reprieve from the gathering storm. It would appear that we need to take a long and hard look at what the city needs in the short and long term. With diminishing revenues, which will not be alleviated in the near future, and rising costs some hard decisions need to be made. Is this Council willing and able to make those hard choices?

Here are some short and long term possibilities to address our budgetary issues:

1. Reduce salaries across the board for all city employees. Management should take the greater hit as they have larger salaries.

2. Instead of reducing salaries, shorten the work week for all employees — City Hall, Public Works, Civic Centre, Pool etc. Those on salary would take a cut in pay of up to five per cent. This amount for salaried workers may be too modest and this rate may need to be increased.

3. Change the hours of operation at City Hall. Open on shortened hours from 2 to 7 p.m. This would

allow for those working in town to still access the needed services while reducing the hours of operation and reducing payroll. Do a similar thing for the pool, Civic Centre. (see number 9)

4. Think in the long term of making the Fire Department a volunteer service. Use Terrace as an example of what works. Do not buy another fire truck. We simply do not need it.

5. Look at the ferry schedule to the airport and negotiate part time work there. Do they work an eight hour day? Isn’t this really a part-time job?

6. Change garbage collection to once every two weeks. Encourage recycling, composting, use of garburators in homes, using the recycling services-actually give credits for producing less waste.

7. Turn down the heat in all City facilities to 68F. When an area is empty lower that temperature to 64F. In the warmer months simply turn off the heat. Place LED lights in all facilities when the cash is available.

8. Council should work for the short

term on $1.00 per year until the budget is balanced and sustainable and the Mayor should work for half the salary he receives.

9. Do a usage study of all facilities in the town. Which hours have the greatest use? Give the number of people using the services at that time. Graph this use per month for a year. This should give a good idea of when facilities should be closed down and when they should be opened.

10. A more drastic measure is to close the pool and the Civic Centre and mothball both facilities. Once there are sufficient funds to reopen these areas then they become open again.

11. Increase user fees for all facilities. If people don’t like the increases then the programs and facilities should be closed.

Some of the suggestions listed above are extreme. However, we are in a long term problem with painful alternatives. In no way is this list exhaustive.

A suggestion for future public meetings is if you really want public input, the problem should be stated and then those present could be placed in small groups with pen and paper. Discussion amongst these groups should be recorded with suggestions to solve the problem. This would be a much better use of everyone’s’ time.

Does our City Council have the intestinal fortitude to act in a responsible way with painful but long term solutions?

I hope so.Respectfully submitted,

Janet Anderson

Hamilton’s “attack ads”

offensiveEditor:I find Todd Hamilton’s recent attack ads

on Jennifer Rice, disguised as editorials, offensive.

When Ms. Rice ran for Council she came in third, beating out two incumbents, and when she ran for the NDP nomination she beat her competition by a wide margin.

Clearly Ms. Rice has a large following because of her tireless campaigning on environmental issues.

Perhaps Mr. Hamilton would rather support the only view The Northern View has, which is right leaning. Perhaps he is defending his employer’s bid to develop a refinery in Kitimat by attacking a local environmentalist. Regardless, there is no place in a community newspaper for such vitriolic attacks on an individual.

It’s the negative campaigns led by the Harper Conservatives that have turned a lot of people off politics and have made decent people reluctant to run for public office.

It’s time Mr. Hamilton backed off and provided a more balanced view of local politics in the spirit of democracy.

Attack policies or political parties, not people!

Ridley question remains unansweredEditor: Re: “MP is missing the point”I’m glad to see my friend, the

Minister of State for Finance, is paying close attention to the concerns I expressed about the potential sale of Ridley Terminals, concerns that are shared by many people here in the Northwest.

But unfortunately he and his Conservative government have still not answered the first and most crucial question: Why should Canada sell such a critical asset now?

The Minister, in fact, seems to make the case against himself. Since 1991, the federal government has invested millions in Ridley Terminals, but the moment Ridley Terminals began paying off and making money for taxpayers, the government decides

it’s time to sell. If it were a business Mr. Harper was running, it would soon be bankrupt with that kind of thinking and that has many of us in the Northwest scratching our heads.

This Conservative government has earned itself a troubling reputation. Consider their sell-off of the Alberta oil-patch to Chinese state-owned companies; or their sell-off of our sovereignty in the Canada-China FIPA; or their willing sacrifice of our rivers, our coast and our people with the Northern Gateway pipeline proposal.

It’s my sincere hope this is not the case with Ridley Terminals, but the Minister must understand that when the Conservatives speak about selling off Canadian public assets for the

“net benefit” of Canada, we simply have no reason left to believe they are telling the truth. “Just trust me” isn’t going to cut it.

Standing up for Canada should be more than just a slogan during an election - it should be a key policy for our government.

What Prince Rupert needs is to expand its economic growth by expanding its population and business base. For Prince Rupert to be appealing for people to come here to live, work and invest, it is imperative that we have amenities that will entice them to come and stay.

Therefore, it is not the time to reduce services for the recreational facilities including the golf course. These are the qualities of life that people look for when relocating to an area.

Respectfully,Nancy Eidsvik

70’s Grad Reunion

Aboriginal population growing

BY SHAUN THOMAS PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

The percent of the Prince Rupert population that is Aboriginal has increased in the last five years.

According to census information released on May 8 by Statistics Canada, there are 4,745 people among the 12,360 residents who identify themselves as Aboriginal, meaning 38.4 per cent of Prince Rupert’s population is Aboriginal. In contrast, there were 4,475 people identified as Aboriginal in the 2006 census, equal to 35.1 per cent of the population. So while Prince Rupert’s population dropped by 395 residents between 2006 and 2011, the number of Aboriginal people in Prince Rupert increased by 270 and the percentage of the population identified as Aboriginal people increased by 3.1 per cent.

In B.C. only 5.4 per cent of the population, or 232,290 residents, was identified as Aboriginal.

Of the 4,745 Aboriginal people, 4,290 identified as First Nations, 350 identified as Metis, 65 identified as multiple Aboriginal identities and 45 identified as Aboriginal identities that were neither First Nations, Inuit or Metis.

While the largest segment of the Aboriginal population is between 25 and 64, accounting for 47.5 per cent, the second largest group is under the age of 14, with 25 per cent of the Aboriginal population being under 14. In contrast, only 16 per cent of Prince Rupert’s non-Aboriginal population is under the age of 14.

Almost 40 per cent of Prince Rupert

Council told to decide


If Prince Rupert city council was seeking clear direction from residents at the May 8 forum on the 2013 budget, they would have had to keep looking.

Those who came to the microphones over the course of the two-hour meeting gave differing opinions about major budget considerations including a potential tax increase, staff layoffs and the reduction in hours at the civic centre, arena and swimming pool.

On the issue of taxes, while nobody wanted to see jobs lost, some who spoke were clear in not wanting to see their municipal bills climb for the fifth straight year.

“I am tired of paying more taxes. Every year there is more taxes. We need to take a page from the school board — although people may not have liked it they closed schools and cut costs... Lets get to bare bones. Let’s just keep the grass cut and keep facilities like this open because that is what the kids need,” said Wade Niesh, the first speaker of the evening.

Others, however, said they would be willing to bite the bullet if it meant city workers were guaranteed to have a job to go to every day.

“As a taxpayer I would rather pay $32 more per year or $50 more per year to have those workers keep their jobs... Those employees are also taxpayers that contribute to the community, and those employees are needed for succession,” said Michelle Montemurro of CUPE, alluding to the $32 per year estimated increase in taxes that would come with a two per cent tax increase.

In terms of reducing the hours at the civic centre, acting city manager Dan Rodin explained that it would mean no ice in the arena until

October, and the pool and civic centre likely closed for all of September and the start of the following month. That idea did not appeal to some.

“Last year when we lost the arena [because of the chiller], our hockey association had to come up with a solution so we drove our kids to Terrace every weekend so they could have ice time. It gave them something to do and kept them off the streets... Just because we did it once doesn’t mean it is fair to ask of those parents,” said Rosa Miller, a self-professed hockey mom.

“If you want people to come to Prince Rupert, they have to have services and I think the civic centre and the library are key... People won’t come to a community that does not have functioning services,” said Calvin Thompson.

However, others called for a review of services offered by the City.

“I believe what ought to happen as a matter of course is a continuous evaluation and re-evaluation of appropriateness of services being delivered and the associated cost of providing such services together with the importance given to those services by the citizens and the taxpayers... The City needs to, in my view, engage in an exercise of methodically reviewing all services and asking the

question: Is this a service that the City needs to provide and it is consistent with our values and priorities as a municipalities,” said Tony Briglio.

Still others focussed their attention on CityWest, who told the City last month they would not be paying the expected $500,000 dividend.

“It is time for full transparency when it comes to CityWest financials. The fact that council allows CityWest to not pay a dividend at the expense of city jobs is worrisome... I’m baffled that council would allow the company to shirk this responsibility,” said Kris Schumacher.

While other speakers spoke about the need of finding efficiencies, such as not having City workers drive back to the yard for coffee breaks and better use of City trucks, it was clear that the taxpayers wanted council to decide.

“We the business community have elected you to be the leaders of this community. We have elected you to make the tough decisions, not to defer them. That is why tonight what we are asking for is leadership,” said Simone Clark on behalf of the Prince Rupert and District Chamber of Commerce.

“Good luck to you. You have a decision to make, so please do it,” said former mayor Don Scott.

Port Ed talks budget

By Shaun ThomaSPRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

Residents in the District of Port Edward who saw an increase in their property assessment will likely be seeing an increase in their property taxes.

“While council realizes that we are still in tough economic times, we cannot continue to provide the services with no tax increase. This year the average home has seen an increase of 2.75 pr cent in the assessed value so council has decided to leave the mill rate at $5 per $1,000 of assessed value,” explained Mayor Dave MacDonald in letter to residents, noting that he has high hopes for the community’s future.

“The future looks brighter given the expansion of the coal terminal over the next two years, expansion of the dock face to accommodate a second ship at the container port, the sale of Watson Island and other projects that are in the planning stages for Ridley Island and Lelu Island in Port Edward.”

In terms of goals for the coming year, the District will be applying to borrow $1.5 million over 15 years to pay for the new Port Edward Community School, will be looking at paving Spruce Ave. and the boat launch road as finances permit, will complete the twinning of the boat launch and promote Port Edward as being “open for business”.

By Shaun ThomaSPRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

Port Edward is preparing for major growth and the Official Community Plan is being changed to reflect that.

On May 7 the District hosted its second open house on the new plan, one that included much more room for industry that would come with an LNG export terminal.

The District has put in an application to purchase lands along the highway leading into town for potential industrial development – with the Canoxy Industrial Area located beside Watson Island and the Wolf Creek Industrial Area across the road — and has designated Stapledon Island for heavy industrial use. A development permit area along the highway was put into place to ensure visual quality and other concerns are addressed.

Residentially, plans are to grow the community in the area behind the existing houses. Along with that is a bypass road, tentatively called Wampler’s Way after the late Mayor Ed Wampler, that would run behind the current housing from beside Kristoff Trucking to Aero Trading. At the end of the road is the parcel of land designated for the proposed PTI Group lodge to house

construction workers. Outside of town, plans call for rural residential areas near Kloiya Bay, Rainbow Lake and Prudhomme Lake.

With the second public hearing now in the books, L&M Engineering’s David McWalters told those in attendance the process of putting the new plan into place will be a quick one.

“At this time in the process, the new bylaw is about 90 per cent complete. The plan is to finish the bylaws in the next week or two, send them to the municipal lawyer ad bring them back to council for three readings. The next hearing will be in early June and then council will be voting to pass them or not,” he said.

Two-thirds of Red Moon Road, an acoustic folk/roots band from Winnipeg, returned to Prince Rupert last week to shoot footage for a protest song written about the proposed Northern Gateway Pipeline.

Red Moon Road guitarist/percussionist/vocalist Daniel Jordan and mandolin/banjo/guitarist/vocalist Daniel Peloquin-Hopfner gathered a group of Rupertites at Mariner’s Park last Thursday to assist in the filming of a music video for a song that was inspired by the group’s last trip in the area.

The first time Red Moon Road was in Prince Rupert they attended the Northern Gateway Joint Review Panel hearings, which struck a cord with the group.

“It was a sobering experience to see what exactly was at stake, how much people really cared about this place and how vast the repercussions could really be,” Peloquin-Hopfner said.

“Around the same time someone introduced me to the music of Pete Seeger. That idea of the protest singer, I thought, was a tradition that it was about high time to be resurrected. All the things we were feeling came out in a song,” Jordan said.

Another incident while in the region also triggered inspiration.

“On our first trip out here we were blessed. As we were driving down the highway to Terrace we looked into the ditch there was this big white shape... Sure

enough it was a Kermode Spirit Bear,” Jordan said. “This song is a fictitious and somewhat

humorous account of that bear and I travelling the country in search of some answers about [the pipeline].”

Jordan said the working title of the song is Kermode the Bear Seeks an Explanation and, because Prince Rupert contributed to its creation, the group decided it would be fitting to shoot the video here. Last week, Jordan, Peloquin-Hopfner and Prince Rupert companions were filming in various

spots around Prince Rupert, including out on the ocean around Prince Rupert and along the Skeena River.

The original plan was to film in various communities in the north during a tour, however the tour had to be canceled after an injury of the group’s vocalist Sheena Rattai prevented her from travelling.

“Instead of waiting until we came back, because this issue is so pressing, we thought we would at least come to Prince Rupert, where we first learned about it,” Jordan said.

It’s been a challenging 11-months for the family of Mario Silva, who passed away last June after battling cancer, but they are doing what they can to ensure others don’t have to experience the pain of losing a loved one to the disease.

Mario’s Angels, led by Mario’s wife Jen Silva, will be participating in Prince Rupert’s Relay for Life for the first time this year and are looking forward to raising money for the Canadian Cancer Society.

“I just want to help with finding a cure, and help other families so they don’t have to go through what we did,” Jen said.

Mario owned and operated MS Contracting, working in Prince Rupert and surrounding communities for 23 years on an abundance of commercial and residential projects. Jen said Mario was a dedicated man who was very proud of his work.

Those close to Mario remember him for his dedication to his business. During Mario’s service, Frank Pyde, one of the family’s closest friends and Mario’s Angel team member, said “this town is held together with concrete made by Mario”, a statement Jen agrees with.

“There’s a little bit of him all over town,” she said.

The Silva’s were a tight-knit family, and were bewildered when Mario was unexpectedly diagnosed with stomach cancer in July of 2009.

“It was the hugest shock. It wasn’t something we were expecting. He didn’t have any pain, or anything. He just started not feeling well. We thought it was just stress or something,” his wife said.

The news was also hard on the couple’s three children, eldest daughter Kalila, middle child Stephanie and youngest Joel, who is only 10 years old.

“[Joel] knew daddy was sick, but didn’t know the extent of it. The girls are older and they knew what could happen,” Jen said.

When Mario was diagnosed he was told he would immediately need to have surgery or he would only have a couple months left to live.

Mario fought the disease in every way he could, going through chemotherapy, radiation and two surgeries. He was cancer-free for about six months, however doctors did advise the family the cancer was likely to come back.

“Because he didn’t have symptoms before they found it, it was already quite advanced. It was stage four when they found it. They removed his stomach, and part of his bowels because it had spread quite a bit already. Eventually it did come back in his liver and just took over after that,” Jen explained.

Mario reentered the Prince Rupert Regional Hospital on May 6, 2012, where he would stay until his passing.

“He should’ve been in the hospital before that, but he knew that once he went in he wasn’t going to come out again. He was told that he probably had about a week or two weeks left,” Jen said.

But Jen said Mario didn’t accept that time frame, and swore he was going to live to his 46th birthday on June 7.

“Those six and a half weeks or so we were in the hospital watching him disappearing into nothing and suffering was hard. I wouldn’t wish that on my biggest enemy,” Jen said.

Mario’s condition continued to get worse, to the point where he didn’t even recognize his own children anymore.

“I think that was the turning point for Joel. He use to go every day after school and walk in his room and say ‘hey dad’ and talk to him. One day he walked in and said ‘hi dad’ and [Mario] just looked at him and said ‘who are you?’... Joel looked at me and said ‘he doesn’t know me, mom’... He didn’t want to go back after that,” Jen said.

Shortly after Mario was put into an induced coma, and on the eve of his 46th birthday, family members and friends piled into his room at the hospital, and filled it with balloons.

“They all stayed at the hospital until midnight, and the nurses all came in his room and we sang ‘Happy Birthday’ to him... The nurses told me they could tell his breathing had changed... He knew we were there,” Jen said.

Two days later, on June 9, 2012, Mario passed away.

“It’s hard, not just losing a member of your family but watching that person die. Going through all of the fighting and watching them lose the battle,” Jen said.

The Silva’s continue to move forward, taking the loss one day at a time. Jen knows see won’t be able to change what happened to Mario, but she now works toward helping change the fate of other cancer victims.

Since her husband’s passing, Jen began volunteering for the Prince Rupert unit of the Canadian Cancer Society, helping out with various fundraising initiatives the group puts on in Prince Rupert. For her first year as captain for a Relay for Life team, Jen set a team fundraising goal of $1,000, which she hopes they can surpass. Mario’s Angels are well on their way, having raised $800 as of late last week.

Jen said the team decided on the name

“Mario’s Angels” because her husband referred to the nurses at the Prince Rupert Regional Hospital as his angels. Jen gave an example of one time when a nurse came in to give Mario another shot, and apologized saying “I know you’re in pain and I’m making you suffer more”. Mario told the nurse they were his angels, and she then told him she wished there was more they could do to help him. Mario responded “I don’t know what else you could do. You have done everything and more”.

“The nurses, Judy and Jennifer, at the hospital are amazing. If I need to talk, I just have to pick up the phone and they’re there,” she said.

Confirmed team members as of last Friday consisted of Jen and Kalila, Paula and Sandra Cardoso, Maria Woodworth, Frank and Cynthia Pyde and Marissa Pereira.

Although Stephanie cannot make the relay, as she now lives in Penticton, she will be assisting in raising money for the team.

Prince Rupert’s Relay for Life will take place on Saturday, June 1 from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. at the Prince Rupert Middle School track.

Jen and the rest of Mario’s Angels hope this year’s event is a great success, and raises a lot of money for the Canadian Cancer Society. Anyone can participate in the relay for a $20 registration fee.

Anyone interested in donating to Mario’s Angels, or any of the other Prince Rupert relay teams can do so at the website, www.relaybc.ca.

The Prince Rupert Amateur Swim Club sent 28 swimmers to Kitimat on May 4 for the penultimate regional meet of the season.

While the Rupert swimmers swam admirably, it wasn’t quite enough to overcome the hometown Marlins. The Kitimat team won the meet by a little over 100 points followed by Prince Rupert, Smithers and Terrace.

Leading the way for the Rapids was Sarah McChesney (16). Sarah won all seven of her events on her way to the gold aggregate in the 15 and over girls age group. She also came in under 1:00.00 in the 100 freestyle for the first time (59.98) which was good for a new AAA qualifying time. Rya Kish (10) also won a gold aggregate. She won the 50, 100 and 200 breastrokes, the 100 and 200 backstrokes, and the 200 IM. She came 2nd in the 400 freestyle.

Amy Leighton (12) won the silver aggregate in the 11-12 girls age group. She won the 50 and 100 breaststrokes and the 200 IM, came second in the 200 breast, 400 freestyle and 1500 freestyle and third in the 200 butterfly. Avery Movold (13) also won a silver aggregate. She won the 50 butterfly and 100 backstroke, came second in the 100, 400 and 1500 freestyles, the 200 backstroke and the 200 IM.

Warren Barton (10) won the silver aggregate in the 10 and under boys age group. He won the 100 and 200 freestyles and the 50 butterfly, came second in the 50 free, 100 fly and 200 IM, and third in the 100 backstroke. Liam McChesney and Zach Dolan (both 11) tied for the silver aggregate in the 11-12 boys age group. Liam won the 1500 free, the 100 and 200 bk, the 200 IM and the 100 free, and came second in the 50 breaststroke. Zach won the 50 and 200 breaststrokes and the 100 fly. He came second in the 200 IM, 800 free and 100 breast, and third in the 100 free.

Cyrus Sobredo (16) won the silver aggregate in the senior boys age group. He won the 200 and 400 freestyle, the 100 breaststroke and 100 fly, came second in the 100 backstroke, and third in both the 50 breast and 200 IM. Quinn Basso (15) won the bronze medal in the senior boys age group with wins in the 100 back and 200 breast, second place finishes in the 800 free, 100 breast and 200 IM and a third place finish in the 100 free.

Kai Leighton (10) won a bronze aggregate in the 10 and under boys age group. He won the 100 and 200 backstroke, came second in the 100 free and 100 breast and third in the 50 free and 200 breast.

Up next for the Rapids is our second home meet of the season coming up at the end of the month.

Martina Perry / The Northern ViewPouring rain couldn’t keep runners from hitting the roads on Saturday for the annual Crest Glory Days.

Results from Crest Glory DaysRunners brave the elements


The pouring rain did little to dampen the spirits of those who came out on Saturday morning for the Crest Glory Days, an event with a five and 10 kilometre run.

Prince Rupert men took the majority of the top spots in the 5k run. Lyndon Drummond was the top male under 15 with a time of 32:04, while Anthony Magliocchi, Matthey LaFiandra and Ryan Staschuk swept the 20-39 age group with times of 29:38, 31:16 and 31:18 respectively. Skeena – Bulkley Valley MP Nathan Cullen, who was in town to support NDP candidate Jennifer Rice, won the 40-49 age group with a time of 24:24, followed by Ken Veldman with a time of 31:13. Gary Pettipas of Terrace was the lone non-Rupert winner, taking first in the 50-and-over group with a time of 24:55, followed by Erwin Cacher at 25:04 and Balvinder Nanan at 30:29.

As with the men, Prince Rupert’s female runners took the majority of the 5k run results. Michaela Yeo of Terrace was the lone under-15 runner, finishing with a time of 36:48. Johanna Wick was the fastest woman and fastest runner in the 5k, finishing in 21:56, followed in the 20-29 age group by Amber Sheasgreen at 22:14 and Leigh-Anne Magnusson at 24:53. In the 40-49 age group, Bonnie Corey placed first at 29:55 followed by Kate Mercer of New Aiyansh at 31:14 and Elisabeth Scott at 32:14. Susan Enns won the 50-and-

over age group with a time of 33:47, Marianne Wick placed second at 35:14 and Loretta Robinson placed third at 28:56

It was essentially a Prince Rupert sweep in the men’s 10k, with only two out of town runners placing. In the 19-and-under category, Avery Baily placed first at 43:34, followed by Kendal Drummond at 50:35. Remy Talbot had the fastest time in the 20-39 category and the fastest time overall, finishing at 40:47, followed by Luke Robin at 41:38 and Charles Tree at 45:23. Dave Magnusson won the 40-49 age group at 58:04, followed by Ross Franes at 1:01:11 and Willard Lincoln of Kincolith at 1:29:42. In the 50-and-over group, Bob Cuthbert finished first at 53:25, Terry Pierce finished second at 56:08 and Michael Bruce of Terrace was third at 57:00.

Prince Rupert women took all the top 10k spots. Keisha Sankey topped the 19-and-under division at 48:47 followed by Katrina LaRochelle at 48:50. Mary Bartlett was the fastest in the 20-39 group and the fastest woman, finishing at 47:37, followed by Jema Leavens at 48:38 and Erin Mutrie at 49:51. Kathy Murphy won the 40-49 age group at 55:40 followed by Karen Sankey at 1:02:22 and Erica Pikola at 1:03:24. Sandy Jone topped the 50-and-over group at 55:05, followed by Paddy Jones at 58:40 and Gail Bennett at 56:53.

In the 5k walk, Leisha Mercer of New Aiyansh had the fastest time at 50:40, followed by Arlene Perez of Prince Rupert at 53:01 and Hilda Robinson of New Aiyansh at 56:23.

Skeena Relay needs volunteersBY MARTINA PERRY PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

35 teams will racing the 140-kilometre Skeena River Relay course on the highway between Prince Rupert and Terrace on Saturday, May 25, the most the event has ever had.

While registration for the 12th annual Skeena River Relay is closed, the 2013 race committee is still in need of volunteers to assist on the day of the event.

The relay will kick off in front of the Lester Centre of the Arts in Prince Rupert at 7 a.m. and will wrap up at the Kitsumkalum Hall in Terrace in the evening. There are 10 stages of varied lengths for the race, ranging between 10 and 21 km, covering140 km total.

Volunteers are needed for various tasks on the relay’s course including time keepers, runner spotters that sit one km away from stages to inform teams when runners are approaching and volunteers at the various stages to help things run smoothly. Anyone wanting more information or willing to help out on the day of the race is encouraged to contact Sandy Jones at [email protected] or 250-600-1300.

Although organizers are not accepting anymore teams, there are still teams in need of individual runners. Anyone interested in joining a team in need of additional runners can contact Carrie Coley at [email protected].

Coley, who is one of this year’s race directors along with Bonnie Corey, would like to remind anyone travelling on Highway 16 between Prince Rupert and Terrace on May 25 to be cautious of racers.

Fairview Terminal down in April


The number of containers handled at Fairview Terminal is down for the second month in a row.

In April the terminal handled 43,717 TEUs compared to 45,894 last April, a drop of five per cent. After dropping 43 per cent this March compared to last, imports in April fell 13 per cent, from 27,610 TEUs to 24,074 TEUs, for the second straight month of double-digit import declines. Exports, however, were up slightly from 18,284 TEUs to 19,643 TEUs, an increase of seven per cent.

“This variance can be largely attributed to seasonal fluctuations in vessel scheduling and shipments related to the Chinese New Year,” read a statement from the Prince Rupert Port Authority.

“When gauging the growth of our operations, we make assessments based on quarterly or annual performance. From that perspective, 2013 has been a strong year so far, and we are confident that annual aggregate figures will reflect significant growth overall in 2013.”

So far this year Fairview Terminal remains slightly ahead of 2012 tonnage through four months. The total number of TEUs is up three per cent, sitting at 178,692, imports are down slightly and exports are up seven per cent, from 75,799 TEUs to 81,035 TEUs.

After a strong start to the year, Ridley Terminals tonnage dropped 46 per cent year-over-year in April, handling 624,175 tonnes this year

compared to 1.16 million tonnes last April. The biggest difference is the lack of any petroleum coke being handled in April and a 68 per cent drop in thermal coal.

“The main thing that happened was the markets were down and we experienced some ship deferrals as we were waiting for product,” explained RTI corporate affairs manager Michelle Bryant.

“It was not a good month for the market. We’re expecting a strong rebound in May.”

However, RTI remains up 21 per cent over last year’s record breaking numbers, having handled 3.75 million tonnes compared to 3.11 million tonnes.

Prince Rupert Grain had a strong month, handling 584,719 tonnes this April compared to 463,840 tonnes last April. So far this year the terminal is up 14 per cent, moving 1.99 million tonnes of product. Log exports were down 21 per cent this April, but up 21 per cent so far in 2013.

Overall tonnage through the Port of Prince Rupert was down 21 per cent this April, dropping from 2.12 million tonnes last April to 1.67 million tonnes this April. But the port is still on track for another record-breaking year, up from 6.66 million tonnes to 7.61 million tonnes, an increase of 14 per cent.

Passenger traffic through Prince Rupert remains steady. So far this year passenger traffic on BC Ferries is up two per cent while passenger traffic on the Alaska Marine Highway is down two per cent.

Pipeline company comingBy Martina Perry PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

Representatives from the Prince Rupert Gas Transmission project will be in Prince Rupert and Port Edward later this month to discuss the pipeline they are planning in order to serve the LNG facility proposed on Lelu Island.

The Prince Rupert Gas Transmission project, a wholly-owned subsidiary of TransCanada Pipelines Ltd., was announced in January 2013 with the target date for regulatory applications in 2014. If approved, construction will commence in 2015 and the pipeline could be in service by the end of 2018.

The proposed pipeline would be approximately 750 kilometres in length, and would deliver natural gas from the District of Hudson’s Hope to the proposed Pacific Northwest LNG terminal.

Once operational, the pipeline is said to generate an estimated $22 million in annual property tax payments to the two municipalities and five regional district’s along its route, including the Skeena-Queen Charlotte Regional District. Grady Semmens, senior external communications and media relations specialist for TransCanada, said the Skeena-Queen Charlotte Regional District will see an annual increase in property tax revenues of approximately $2.4 million once the pipeline system is operating, based on the estimated 80 kilometres of pipeline in the district, current provincial assessment and taxation rates for pipelines.

The proposed route for the Prince Rupert Gas Transmission pipeline, however, is conceptual at this point

“It’s a route we believe is appropriate and desirable but is definitely still being considered and worked on. That’s essentially at the early stages like this is what a lot of the open house information is about,” Semmens said.

Open houses will be taking place in May and June in communities closest to the proposed pipeline to introduce the project to the public and gather input, including at the Community Centre in Port Edward on May 22 from 6 to 8 p.m. and in Prince Rupert at the Lester Centre of the Arts the following day, May 23, from 5 to 8 p.m.

RTI numbers drop amid weak market New CeO

Maher Terminals / Special to The Northern ViewOn April 30 Maher Terminals named Gary Cross its new chief executive officer. Cross joined Maher Terminals in 1978 as a management trainee and has held positions of increasing responsibility throughout his tenure with the company, joining the sales and marketing team in 1996, before the head of marketing and business development in 2009 and finally the executive vice president in 2011.


Welcome to BG Group’s new monthly column, ‘Community Dialogue.’ This feature in the

Northern View is just one way that we will be enhancing communications with you – the people of Prince Rupert, Port Edward and surrounding areas.

We are grateful for the warm welcome the community has shown us as we explore our potential liquefied natural gas (LNG) export project on Ridley Island, which we have named “Prince Rupert LNG.” We hope this column will be a “go to” spot for news about BG Group as we make progress on the Prince Rupert LNG project.

In addition to open houses held over the past few months, we have continued to engage First Nations and local communities, supporting such events as the All Native Basketball Tournament and participating in NABOC, along with dozens of interviews with key community leaders and organizations. Presentations to local government and communities are just some of the activities we are planning over the next several months. Many of you know our local community relations representative, former Mayor Herb Pond. Herb tells us that the number one question he receives is, “What is your timeline?”

Not many people realize that we actually began looking for a western Canadian location a number of years ago. Hundreds of sites were examined before the selection of Ridley Island. This site has the right combination of supporting infrastructure and safe shipping routes, and is already designated for industrial development.

Environmental studies are under way, and we are working with local residents and First Nations to develop baseline data. Surveys of marine mammals, birds, fresh water, underwater noise and air quality monitoring are just some of the things we are studying.

Most exciting for our team was the recent filing of our project description with the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency and the BC Environmental Assessment Office. The process signals the formal start of the environmental assessment review and means that our interaction with the community will increase. We anticipate that the review and permitting process will take just over two years, leading to a hoped for final investment decision mid-decade. Construction will take four to five years with a peak work force of over 3,500 people. Once in operation, our LNG facility is anticipated to require an

estimated work force of 250 permanent employees and 250 indirect jobs.

BG Group, which is headquartered in the United Kingdom, has established high standards in terms of collaboration and open communications with First Nations, Aboriginal groups and communities where we do business. Further, we work to make a positive contribution to the protection of the environment. It is our intent to work with you and your community as we embrace an exciting new chapter in the North Coast’s economic history.

We recently established a project website at www.princerupertlng.ca and a community telephone line, which you can access at 1-855-683-6710. In addition, you can reach Herb at 250-624-9443. He ensures that your views are widely shared with our team.

We want to hear from you and look forward to a busy summer at work in your community.Sincerely,

Steve SwaffieldActing President, BG Canada

Community Dialogue - v4.indd 1 5/8/2013 1:50:44 PM

BY MARTINA PERRY PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

A fresh and hands-on teaching method has not only allowed students to learn the necessary curriculum for their course in a new way, but will help benefit a community volunteer group as part of their final class project.

Charles Hays Secondary School students from Kiara Hart’s Grade 9 Humanities are currently organizing their year-end community project Benefit of the Bands, a concert with a line up of local musicians that will raise money for the Prince Rupert Wildlife Rehab Shelter.

“I would really like the Benefit to be successful, not just for the contribution it makes toward the community but also to empower the students, give them ownership of their project and provide them with the realization that they can make a difference today and tomorrow,” Hart said.

Approximately 20 students from the class were split into groups to work on different aspects of organizing the event, and as of one week ago students had lined up a few performers, a venue, equipment for the show, and help moving that equipment.

Set to perform at the show as of last week were Corey Wesley, the Ben Taylor Band, River Carwoods, Nancy Griffith-Zahner, Assault with a Plastic Weapon and Odin Beats.

The students collectively decided on the idea of holding a Benefit of the Bands, and the group benefiting from the show.

“We decided on the wildlife shelter because animal life is very important in Prince Rupert. The wildlife shelter does what they do out of their own kindness and their bank account. It’s a really good thing for people of the community to come [to Benefit of the Bands] and give some money so we can help them out,” Crystal Vallee, a student in Hart’s Humanities class, said.

“It’s helping our community and the wildlife in it,” Kaylee Bonnescher, another student, added.

Vallee and Bonnescher said working on this project has been interesting.

“I like it because we actually get to go out and do stuff, whereas the other projects we just have to sit in class and try to research stuff. This one has put us out there,” said Vallee.

Hart agrees. “It gives the students an opportunity to be part

of something and to take ownership of it,” she said.

“A lot of the times when we have assignments or activities we’re doing with students, they can’t see how it’s relevant. So this puts a whole new perspective into things because what they’re working on is extremely relevant and moving toward something.”

The community project idea also fit in with the class’ music appreciation program, a different approach to covering the Grade 9 Humanities curriculum.

The course still covers the social studies and English components of the class, but is music-based, incorporating aspects of info-teach and art into project-based learning.

Hart said it fit in perfectly because as part of the

music appreciation program, students have been learning about many ways music has effected history, including social movements. Hart said this was her class’ way of starting its own social movement with music, by using music as a method to help a crucial Prince Rupert group.

Jasper Nolos, CED projects coordinator at Community Futures Pacific Northwest, said he wasn’t surprised with the class’ decision to support the wildlife shelter.

Community Futures held a Junior World Cafe in the class in March, to help students understand community development topics, help them get a better understanding of where their priorities lay and to use the discussions as a way to decide on a class community project.

Nolos said the topic of nature and animals came up at nearly every table topic at the Junior World Cafe.

Benefit of the Bands will take place on Wednesday, May 22 at 7 p.m. at the Lester Centre of the Arts.

Admission will be by donation.

Rupert youth off to Kaijudo world’s

Game shop Good Times Games in Prince Rupert was the scene of one of only 24 Kaijudo Master Challenge events over the May 4 weekend.

The huge event drew players from as far as Victoria and Vancouver to town as players played head to head at the collectable card game Kaijudo in a tournament of 54 players. Good Times was selected for a KMC over stores all over B.C. and Alberta, and their attendance was second only to a 59 player turnout in Texas. Good Times hosted more than double the 20 and 24 player turnouts in Georgia and Kentucky.

The action took place over seven hours on Saturday and while players from Vancouver and Victoria held four of the spots in the final field of eight, it ended up being two local boys, Tyler Winther and Jeevan Gill, who earned spots in the finals. The boys went head to head for the championship, but it was Winther who came out ahead two games to one and earned the title of champion.

Plenty of prizes were given out at the event. Good Times Games makes sure that everyone who plays gets a prize, from first place all the way down to the 54th place finisher.

“The Good Times philosophy

is fun for everyone first,” Rob Gruber, event organizer and co-owner of the shop said.

“We have lots of parents playing with kids, brothers and sisters, and players aged five to 45. We like to promote a fun, social, but also competitive environment, with prizes for everyone.”

Winther and Gill will be heading south in August to compete at the Kaijudo Shattered Alliance Championship with 46 others who qualify at the 23 other stores selected by Wizards of the Coast to host a Kaijudo Master Challenge like Good Times Games.

“It was a big deal to be selected to host this event, we worked hard and are proud that Wizards of the Coast considers us one of the premiere places for gaming in North America. We won’t stop trying to put our great little community on the global gaming map,” said Gruber.

Tyler Winther and Jeevan Gill join Rob Gruber of Good Times Games.

The best in the west

May Long Weekend Special

Renowned Canadian broadcasters Craig Oliver and Lloyd Robertson will be speaking at this year’s celebrity dinner.

Oliver, Robertson at Celebrity Dinner

By Shaun ThomaS PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

Two of the most highly respected names in Canadian journalism will be coming to Prince Rupert next month to discuss their illustrious careers.

Lloyd Robertson and Craig Oliver will be the guests of honour for the Prince Rupert Regional Community Foundation’s Celebrity Dinner fundraiser on June 23 at the Crest Hotel, bringing between them more than a century of reporting the new to the nation.

Craig Oliver, who started with the CBC more than 50 years ago in Prince Rupert, has covered every election from 1957 through to the election of Stephen Harper. Along the way he was criticized for making some famous and powerful friends, most notably Pierre Trudeau. He’s in his seventies now and legally blind, but he has no plans to stop working as hard as he did that very first day

in Prince Rupert. Lloyd Robertson began his

broadcast career in 1952 at CJCS in Stratford Ontario. Since then he has gone on to have one of the most respectable careers in media: Lloyd has been voted Canada’s most trusted news anchor by TV Guide readers 11 times in a row, he was inducted into the Canadian Association of Broadcasters Hall of Fame in 1996, was awarded the Order of Canada on February 1998 and was the first journalist to be inducted into Canada’s Walk of Fame in 2007.

Money raised from the dinner will go to the foundation, which provides grants to various community groups and activities aimed at improving the quality of life on the North Coast.

There are still a small number of tickets available for the dinner. Anyone interested in purchasing advance-guaranteed seating can call director Doug Kydd at 250-624-2617.

Rockstock a talent showcaseBy marTina Perry PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

Ring System Music Studio students are anticipating this year’s Rockstock performance taking place on Saturday, May 25.

While the annual show raises money for local groups, Ian Lihou, Ring System Music Studio music instructor, said the most important aspect of the show is his students having fun on stage. Students say there is no shortage of that, even if it is a little nerve-racking.

“It’s cool and scary to be on stage,” Kacey Kiesman, a student of Lihou’s, said.

“It’s like the only opportunity we get to go on stage and play for people,” Meaghan Cunningham, another student, said.

Young musicians will be performing just under 30 pop, rock and country songs by artists such as Adele, the Beatles, Bob Marley, Miranda Lambert, Supertramp, Sheryl Crow, the Eli Young Band, Taylor Swift, Avril Lavigne, Linkin Park and more.

“There will be something for everybody and all ages,” Lihou said.

Approximately 50 students will be performing in the Rockstock, which are all of Lihou’s students.

Some will be performing on stage for their first time, while others have been featured in the music teacher’s concerts since they started being put on a number of years ago.

“They get better and better every year. It’s so much fun for me to watch,” said Lihou.

The youngest performers in Rockstock will be nine years old, with students being as old as 18. Many of the budding musicians have been taking lessons together for years and have formed bonds because of it.

“It’s nice to see their relationships grow as they get older and play with each other,” said Lihou.

“They all support each other really well, and are always willing to help each other out with songs.”

Both Rockstock and the annual Christmas concert Ring System Music Studio students put on benefit groups in the community, with money raised at this year’s Rockstock performance going toward purchasing new equipment for the Lester Centre of the Arts. The Lester Centre has been a repeated choice for fundraising because of the value it holds to not only Prince Rupert musicians, but the community as a whole.

Admission for Rockstock will be by donation. The concert will begin at 7 p.m.

BY SHAUN THOMAS HAIDA GWAII / The Northern View

Young basketball players will have an increased opportunity to make the provincial basketball team after a decision by Basketball BC to recognize the islands as its own region in the Under 14 tournament.

Prior to the ruling, players would have had to try out for a regional team and then travel to Terrace every weekend for practice to play. This year, though, students from Tlell, Queen Charlotte, Masset and Skidegate will be leaving on May 21 and returning on May 26 for the tournament as representatives of Haida Gwaii. Based on their performance as a region and individually, Basketball BC may invite players to spend the summer representing the province on the court.

“It’s really exciting. This is something that hasn’t been available to kids on Haida Gwaii before. If you look at the senior team, if this option had been there before they would likely have been competing on the provincial team,” said Dave Wahl, who is taking on the management of the team.

“We have a really good men’s team, we have a really good high school and junior team and this is a way to get the younger kids involved in basketball... There is a really good cross-section of the island on the team.”

But getting the kids from Haida Gwaii to Vancouver Island isn’t easy: Wahl estimates $25,000 is needed to make the trip. The team has undertaken a major fundraising push in the six weeks leading up to the tournament.

“There are a lot of really committed people working for something they really believe in. It’s easy to fundraise when it is something people believe in,” said Wahl.

“The coaches and the players really want to thank everyone for their support during this short fundraising window.”

On Friday the team had a shoot-a-thon that saw nine kids shoot 3,000 shots between 4 p.m. at 10 p.m.

“There was really nice energy there and lots of people showed up to watch and have some popcorn,” said Wahl.

“We raised just over $2,000 for the trip, which puts us right on target.”

While Wahl will be managing, the team will be coached by some of the best on the island. Desi Collinson, a two-time All Native Basketball Tournament Seniors MVP and coach of the Jr. All Native champion Saints, and Duane Alsop, also of the senior champion Saints, will be behind the bench.

Two members of the Junior Saints spent last year playing for the provincial squad.

“That is a testament to how hard they’ve been working with Desi in the gym every day,” said Wahl.

Northwest jobless rate tops in B.C.

BY ROD LINK PRINCE RUPERT / Black Press

The northwest economy may be on an upswing, but unemployment remains stubbornly high among people who live in the region.

Fewer people were working in the northwest in April than in March, reported Statistics Canada on May 7. The numbers dropped from 39,500 in March to 39,200 in April, a drop that continues a monthly trend so far this year.

At the same time, the number of people considered jobless fell slightly from 3,500 in March to 3,400 in April, sufficient to shave the unemployment rate from 8.2 per cent in March to eight per cent in April.

And the labour force, defined as those who are working and those who are not working but considered themselves as part of the labour force, dropped from 42,900 in March to 42,600 in April.

The decline in employment and in the labour force this year stands in contrast to April 2012 when there were 40,000 people employed, 800 more than was the case this April.

But there were also more people unemployed last April as well, pushing the unemployment rate to 11.3 per cent, higher than this year’s.

The northwest unemployment rate continues to rank as the highest in the province with the Lower Mainland at seven per cent running in second place.

The provincial unemployment rate was 6.8 per cent in April and nationally it was 7.2 per cent.

Northeastern B.C. continues to have the lowest unemployment rate, pegged at 5.2 per cent in April. However, than number is up when compared to the 4.2 per cent unemployment in the region last.

It is important to note that the northwest jobless rate is not actually the number of people collecting Employment Insurance. Instead it is based on interviews of people from the north coast and Haida Gwaii to just west of Vanderhoof who consider themselves as part of the workforce, whether they are currently employed or out of work at the moment.

And that means the jobless rate can reflect how people feel about their own employment prospects.

Basketball players off to Victoria Haida Gwaii its own region in under-14

“This is something that hasn’t been available to kids on Haida Gwaii before.”

- Dave Wahl

Down from March

The Northern View archivesMore people and vehicles have made their way to and from Haida Gwaii during the fi rst four months of 2013 than at the start of 2012. In total this year, BC Ferries reports 3,092 vehicles and 7,353 passengers have made their way between Prince Rupert and Skidegate compared to 2,879 vehicles and 7,080 passengers in the same time period last year. That works out to an increase of 213 more vehicles and 273 more passengers as the busy summer season nears.

Candidates on the North Coast had one last chance to collectively face the public, though this time not all in attendance were potential voters.

Green Party candidate Hondo Arendt, Liberal candidate Judy Fraser and NDP candidate Jennifer Rice participated in an all-candidates forum hosted by the CHSS Library as well as the CHSS Debating and Public Speaking Society during the lunch break on May 10 and were greeted by a room full of young people. The forum, however, was more of an informal session with each candidate introducing themselves before allowing time to the students to socialize with the would-be MLAs on a more personal level.

First to speak was Jennifer Rice, who spoke about the need for “change that restores trust in government”.

“Young people tell me they are disillusioned with the political system, and that concerns me. It tells me we need to rethink politics... I think young people want leadership, not partisanship. They want to see their leaders work together to move the province forward,” she said before turning her attention to the economy and the environment.

“I believe we can have a prosperous economy with a sustainable environment. I don’t believe we need to have one or the other... The argument of pipelines or poverty is a falsehood.”

Next up was Judy Fraser who, after discussing her

involvement in the community, said she didn’t want to see the students have to leave town for work like her son did.

“I would work for more skills training at Northwest Community College. But if we don’t have jobs, then all we are doing is training people to leave and go work in Alberta... We need to have someone who isn’t just going to say no to everything,” she said, pointing out economic turnaround is already underway.

“I’m seeing more and more young people moving back into Prince Rupert as the economy improves because there are jobs here.”

Last up was Hondo Arendt, who said economic growth wasn’t the biggest issue in this election.

“By the 1990s that was not the problem, Canada had enough wealth to go around... Of course you need jobs and of course you need economy, but those are not the problems facing this generation,” he said, alluding to greenhouse gas emissions and the atmospheric impact of pollution.

“The Green Party is the youngest party, we’re the newest but we also have the youngest membership. The Green Party comes from a new generation that is facing a new set of problems.”

About the Project

The proposed natural gas pipeline, approximately 750 kilometres in length, extends from a point near the

District of Hudson’s Hope to a proposed third party LNG facility on Lelu Island within the District of Port

Edward. This project will create thousands of short-term jobs over a three-year period, opportunities for

local and Aboriginal businesses and annual property tax revenues.

Bring your questions and we’ll supply the refreshments.

The countdown is on to Seafest 2013. In five weeks, Prince Rupert’s annual

community bash will be “Celebrating a Community of Volunteers” for the 35th year of the event, kicking off on June 6 and wrapping up June 9.

“We wanted to give everybody an opportunity to put the focus on their volunteers. We wouldn’t have the quality of life we have in Prince Rupert if we didn’t have all these volunteers,” Joy Sundin of the Prince Rupert Special Events Society said.

While many old favourites are expected to return, as well as some new Seafest events, Sundin said the society is always looking for additional events to be sponsored by Prince Rupert groups and businesses.

Some confirmed events to take place this year include the three-on-three basketball and four-on-four hockey tournaments, the Children’s Bullhead Fishing Derby, the Quick and Daring building contest and race, the Swim for Survival, a taekwondo demonstration, the window decorating contest, the seniors tea, kayaking for kids, a pancake breakfast, soap box derby, Game of

SKATE, crib tournament, the Show and Shine, the Fastest Spaghetti Eating Contest, a craft fair, a dunk tank, a touch tank full of interesting sea creatures and a bouncy castle.

It will all kick-off on Thursday evening with a Block Party downtown, with lots of games, activities, and food for families, and will end on Sunday with the Sunset Memorial Service at Mariner’s Park, a memorial service for individuals who have died at sea.

As usual, Seafest will be full of musical performances including bandstand performances on Saturday and Sunday, a contemporary Christian worship music event and Metal Shop 2013 on Friday and Saturday, with organizers currently working on Music at Mariner’s.

There will also be a number of guests travelling in for Seafest, including the Canadian Forces, putting on tours on their vessels, Mr. PG and Travel Northern B.C. from Prince George, and Sand Northrup, known as the One Woman Circus, a professional clown.

Additionally, Sundin said there will be plenty of vendors consisting of returning favourites and new vendors.

The Special Events Society are calling out for more parade entries, with entry

forms being available at the Special Event’s office and online at www.prspecialevents.com, as well as Sailpast participants.

“We would really like to get some more vessels to come and display themselves in the Sailpast. We have the Flypast and Sailpast at the same time, so it would be awesome for more people with their boats, whether they’re sail boats, big canoes or anything. We are

a seaside community, let’s have a good look at our boats out there,” Sundin said.

Since it’s creation in 1978, Seafest has been organized by volunteers each year, and they are always looking for more people to help with various tasks involved in putting on the event. Anyone interested in helping out with Seafest is asked to contact the Special Events Society at 250-624-9118.

Martina Perry / The Northern ViewKristina Horne and Amber Sheasgreen from the Prince Rupert Special Events board accept a $1,000 cheque from Doug Stevens of the Prince Rupert Elks to help with the cost of this year’s Seafest entertainer.
