New emergency services building would not be ready for two and a half years

By Alan S. HaleThe Northern View

If plans for a new emergency building in Prince Rupert were approved today, it still wouldn’t be ready for the RCMP or the fire department to actually move in for almost two-and-a-half years.

That’s according to Witmar Abele, the architect the City of Prince Rupert hired to guide them through the pre-planning phase of constructing a new emergency building. Abele - who is experienced in the designing of emergency buildings - estimates that the process of designing the actual building to meet the RCMP’s needs, the City’s needs and possibly the fire department’s needs and standards would take the better part of a year.

“Of course, that process can vary wildly in the time required, but 34 weeks is not uncommon. It’s three-quarters of a year to get from the earliest schematic design to the point where we could actually put the project out to bidding,” Abele told council at the third meeting on the emergency building issue held last Monday.

Once the project is ready to be bid on by the contractors who want to build it, Abele estimates that it would still be almost 90 weeks before the building is ready to be occupied.

“Once the construction phase has begun, a year-and-a-half is again not uncommon. There are many factors that influence the time required for the construction phase, such as whether or not the contractor gets into winter construction or other things that might slow it down,” said Abele.

Abele was asked by a member of the public if this time line took into account Prince Rupert’s notoriously rainy weather. He said it did.

Council had some questions of their own, with many councillors balking at the time line for the project. Councillor Anna Ashley asked Abele why it would take 34 weeks just to put a design together.

“Designing a building such as an RCMP station, Fire Hall or possibly both of them together is a highly complex process. The schematic design alone would easily take six to eight weeks to get through, it involves consultations with the user groups. Adjustments are made to the design, it goes back and forth, and six weeks goes by in a heartbeat,” explained Abele.

Councillor Gina Garon asked if they could shorten the process by using an already existing building design from another community. Abele says that building designs are made specifically for the needs of the user groups and the property the building sits on. So unless the City can find a location with the exact same geography, and a design that meets the exact same needs of the RCMP and the fire department, such an idea was not feasible.

The recently negotiated deal between the provincial government and the RCMP has also shortened the time the City has to make a decision on the emergency building issue.

In the new deal, the RCMP only has to send two letters of notice before the province can build them a new station and send the bill to the City. It used to be three letters. With one letter sent by the RCMP last year, Prince Rupert is effectively out of time when it

comes to the RCMP building, and renovating the existing one doesn’t promise to save much – if any – money when compared to building a new one.

This has lead some councillors to conclude that the best course of action is to handle the RCMP’s needs first and that the fire department will have to wait.

“In reality we have a RCMP building that doesn’t meet the standards whether we like it or not. I don’t think we are going to find a

site in Prince Rupert big enough to house both the RCMP and the fire department...As far as renovating goes it just doesn’t make sense,” said Councillor Garon.

Before the designs on a new building can even be started, the City will need to get approval from residents so it can borrow the millions of dollars required. Exactly how many millions won’t be known until the plans are done, but a professional estimate will be drawn up to be used in the

referendum.City staff have suggested that

such a referendum should take place sometime in November, with the referendum question being submitted to the provincial government for approval in September.

City council also has the option to side step the referendum process altogether, in which case 10 per cent of Prince Rupert’s residents would have to sign a petition against the borrowing to force one.

No tax increase in Port EdwardBy Shaun Thomas

The Northern View

While residents of Prince Rupert will be seeing a 1.5 per cent increase on their taxes, residents and businesses in Port Edward can expect no change in the mill rate.

“The assessments are up slightly, so council expects to see some more tax revenue but decided not to pass any increase with the mill rates,” chief administrative officer Ron Bedard told council at their meeting on Tuesday.

The mill rate in Port Edward is currently $5 per $1,000 taxable value for residents and $12.50 per

$1,000 taxable value for businesses. While the rate charged by the district will remain should fourth and final reading pass later this month, the rate for the Skeena - Queen Charlotte Regional District and the Northwest Regional Hospital District are increasing and the Skeena - Queen Charlotte Regional Hospital District rate is down slightly from last year.

At the same meeting council gave three readings to the five year financial plan. This year the district is expecting to end with a $291,914 surplus and revenue and expenses more than double the next five years due to grants received for the new school, some of which will be carried over to 2013.

By Alan S. HaleThe Northern View

The BC government is pumping an extra $80-million into BC Ferries over the next four years and making amendments to the Coastal Ferries Act in order to combat skyrocketing fares while keeping the company profitable.

However, the government is also looking for ways to cut inefficiencies, which is likely to include reduced sailings. The move is the government’s response to a review of the BC Ferry system by Ferry Commissioner Gord Macatee. In the report, Macatee makes a number of different recommendations, many of which require changes to the law, which is exactly what the government plans to do.

“This is really about the taxpayer, it is about the ferry user and it is about the ferry corporation. All of us have to come together to make sure that we have an affordable and financially sustainable ferry system,” said Transportation minister, Blair Lekstrom.

The amendments to the bill place a new emphasis on the commissioner’s role to balance the interests of ferry users, such as passengers and ferry-dependent communities, with that of the company and its bottom line. The commissioner is being given greater power to control price caps and scrutinize and control the company’s policies in order to keep the trend of skyrocketing fares at bay, including ordering fuel deferrals and discounts.

The government also plans to tie fare increases to the rate of inflation, but it is unclear how this will affect the increases already planned for the next three years.

According to the commissioner’s report fare prices along northern routes have risen by 78 per cent over the past eight years, while the number of passengers on each sailing (capacity utilization) has fallen by almost 40 percent during the same period. It costs almost $500 for a family of four and their car to go on a round trip from Prince Rupert to Haida Gwaii. Lekstrom says that while a $500 price tag on a trip to the mainland is hefty, he points out that they would be much higher if the government didn’t already heavily subsidize them. The government is planning to do consultation with local communities on what measures could be taken to

improve the affordability of ferry service.“I do not want to leave the impression that there will not

be putting some pain on the part of communities...We are asking people to come to the table to talk about trade-offs,” said Lekstrom.

One option, which was recommended by the commissioner in his report, would allow municipalities to spend their own money to help subsidize fares on specific routes. But Lekstrom said that none of these measures are mandatory, and that the consultation’s purpose is to find ones that fit within communities’ abilities.

The province is planning to decrease inefficiencies by pushing for fewer sailings for routes with mostly empty ships. Lekstrom says that there are routes where the ships are only using under 30 per cent of their capacity. He says that sailings could be cut down to save costs and lower fares. The capacity utilization of northern routes is about 45 per cent.

Not every local government is going to want only to tweak the semi-privatized ferry system. In the past, the Skeena - Queen Charlotte Regional District has said it wants to see the ferry system returned to the jurisdiction of the Highways Act, effectively making it a public system once again. Board members, especially members from Haida Gwaii communities, argue that the ferry system is essentially their road to the mainland and should be funded by government like they would any other.

Lekstrom says that he hears this p o s i t i o n every so often but says the review shows that the semi-private s y s t e m works well, and making the system

public again wouldn’t solve the issues.“I think if they do their homework and have a look at

it, regardless of whether this service was back under the administration of the Ministry of Transportation or being provided as it is today would be facing these challenges.”

MLA Gary Coons - also the provincial ferries critic - agrees with the regional district. He says that BC Ferries problems are the result of the policies put in place over the past eight years.

“The government spent just under $2-billion in the past eight years on vessels and terminals. That should have come under the costs of constructing highways and not put onto the users. That’s why fares have skyrocketed,” said Coons.

“We need to do an overhaul of the system...I don’t think that these additional dollars are going to keep the system afloat.”

The public was be able to get its first look at the future of Cow Bay on Tuesday as the Prince Rupert Port Authority held an open house to show off its long-awaited development plans at the Crest Hotel from six p.m. to eight p.m. (look for details on the meeting online at www.thenorthernview.com).

The designs are the fruition of work done by MacFarlane Biggar Architects & Designers, which was hired by the Port Authority back in November. The Port Authority held meetings with a number of groups with a stake in the future success

of the Cow Bay area – everyone from Cow Bay merchants to First Nations groups – to find out what they wanted in an expanded Cow Bay. That information was given to the architects and now the designs are ready.

“The approach to the development recognizes that it’s a critical element for the port’s success in becoming a global port that we have a community and people be a part of that and be central to our success. Attracting and retaining good people [to the City] is important, and part of that is making a more livable community,” said the Port Authority’s director of Trade Development, Andrew Hamilton.

The full details on what the design will actually entail were being kept under wraps until they could be presented to city council on Monday and to the public at large at Tuesday’s open house, where people were even able to meet the architects.

One thing for certain is that Cow Bay will be bigger. The Port Authority already owns waterfront properties in the Cow Bay area, which it plans to use, and is planning to buy from the City the land that the Atlin Terminal parking lot sits on, as well as the empty lot on the corner of Cow Bay Road and Mason Way.

Hamilton says that there were six principles that the Port Authority wanted the design to follow.

The first, that there be public spaces with pedestrian access given the priority, be measures to calm traffic and be places for people to mingle. There’s even a market square included in the design.

The second, that it be a mixed use area with opportunities for small businesses, buildings with multiple uses and re-purposing of old ones. The Port Authority points to Granville Island in Vancouver or the Village of Ganges on Saltspring Island as examples for how this might work.

“Obviously it needs to be a commercially viable development, but we also wanted to layer in a number of community spaces. It’s not just about the buildings, it’s about the spaces in

between those buildings,” said Hamilton.

The third principle for the new development is that there should be something going on in Cow Bay all year round during the day and night. Hamilton says they want it to be a space that people feel they can go and enjoy outside of the nine a.m. to five p.m. business day.

Four, they want to area to have a “sense of place” and show off the local ecology, history and art of Prince Rupert.

The Port Authority says that it’s important for the new Cow Bay design to encourage use of the waterfront. They want to make the waterfront easily accessible to the public, and encourage its use for fishing, tourism, patios and light industry operations.

“We realize that’s really core to the identity of Prince Rupert, that interaction between water and land,

that’s who we are as a community,” says Hamilton.

The last principle isn’t so much about the design but about what happens after everything is built. The port wants to make sure the area has “good management” and is looking again for ideas from other places such as Granville Island on how to make sure Cow Bay will encourage fun and social interaction. A large part of this will involve collaboration with the City of Prince Rupert, says Hamilton.

But not everything along Prince Rupert’s waterfront seems to fit into an expanded vision for a more gentrified, pedestrian shopping district Cow Bay. The area also contains many different industrial operations such as boat builders, machinists, auto repairs, propane dealership and more.

“This is one of the elements the architects have embraced. They

don’t want us to lose that grittiness, that’s part of our living heritage. That’s something we want to involve in the design and development. The trick is how to make these two things synergetic,” said Hamilton.

How all of this will be paid for is something that still needs to be worked out. While the Port Authority presented the plans to city council on Monday, they won’t be asking for anything from the City.

Hamilton says that figuring out all the financials is the next step but says that the resulting commercial buildings and rental fees will help pay for a lot of the cost.

OPINIONNorth Coast

There really is no easy way to say this: The dumping of garbage on Wantage Road is getting out of hand and is a definite eyesore.

This weekend we took a trip up Mount Hays to see how far we could go, take some pictures and let the dogs have a bit of a run. Before we even got to the mountain, just a bit past the fish hatchery, there was a bit of garbage on the side of the road. Then, just before you start the ascent to Mount Hays, there was a pretty ridiculous pile of garbage that has no right being there.

Among the items were couches, dressers, some old kids chairs, bags and pretty much anything else you can think of. That was the pile. In the background there was more garbage bags and other miscellaneous items.

It’s an embarrassment, especially as it is right by the newly completed Mount Hays Connector Trail, and the people who decide to dump out there should be ashamed of themselves.

Prince Rupert has a perfectly good landfill, and if you can take the time to drive your truck down a pot-hole filled back road there should be no problem in taking the extra step of going to the garbage dump or working out a way of getting the garbage taken care of at your residence.

This is nothing new, it’s an ongoing problem, and part of that is because there isn’t a solution that seems viable. The City can’t put a gate up on the road because (as I understand it) the access road is owned by someone else, and frankly I hope a gate doesn’t go on the road as that is another lost recreational opportunity. And then there is the problem of people simply

dumping elsewhere in the community if the road is gated. And the bylaw officer only has so many resources to deal with all the issues taking place in the community, so that is out too.

The City doesn’t have the money at the moment, but I would love to see a camera set-up in the area to catch the

people who are doing this and fine them the maximum amount allowed by the law.

Right now there is no consequence to dump on Wantage Road while it ruins it for the rest of us. There must be a way to punish, and harshly so, the irresponsible, uncaring people who dump on Wantage Road.

MY VIEW…

Dumping on Wantage Road has to stop...

Last week go2, a non-profit tourism human resources agency, held a Board of Directors meeting in Prince Rupert.

It was a great opportunity for local tourism stakeholders to learn more about the services offered by go2, and also for the influential tourism industry people from the Board and staff of go2 to learn more about Prince Rupert.

To put it as simply as possible, go2 represents everything to do with employment and the tourism industry in British Columbia. Their online Job Board keeps the tourism industry moving – helping businesses find workers right for them, and helping staff find the right employment opportunities. But go2’s role extends far beyond that.

The various training and support services offered by go2 can help businesses with every stage of their human resources. That might start with recruiting and retaining employees, but it also can help with such diverse needs as identifying fair salary levels based on industry standards, or even

navigating the foreign worker programs. They offer Occupational Health & Safety resources for employers, and a Certificate of Recognition Program to receive a rebate on WorkSafeBC premiums.

On the career side, go2 can help people explore career options, training and education, and find funding opportunities such as scholarships and bursaries. They’ve also partnered on apprenticeship programs for trades certification in Professional Cook, Baker or Meatcutter. One of their recent programs was to work with the Sport Fishing Institute of BC to create the Certified Tidal Angling Guide program.

“The success of our industry relies on skilled, committed staff to deliver exceptional guest experiences,” says Arlene

Keis, CEO of go2. “Over the past years, we have been working with operators in the Prince Rupert and Northern BC region to help ensure they have the labour resources they need to meet their business objectives.”

Though they might not be the most visible organization in the news, go2 is very active in the day-to-day operations of the tourism industry throughout the province - including Prince Rupert. And lest one think

that all of their programs and services are enough, go2 is always ready to help whenever an issue concerning human resources in tourism arises. Over the years Tourism Prince Rupert has turned to them with a variety of unusual requests.

For example, a couple of years ago TPR worked with Northwest Community College to explore the viability of creating certificate and diploma programs in tourism. These

were projected to be very much industry-driven, with a high level of practicum hours. Such a program would have not only been very effective training, but would also have provided a continuous flow of trained summer workers. We approached go2 with the idea. The idea lay outside their day-to-day work, but they quickly led us to a variety of resources and industry contacts that gave us our starting point. Although the idea didn’t fly at the time, we haven’t given up on it – and neither has go2.

Through their Job Board and training programs, go2 is an important part of our industry every day. It was a real pleasure to host the entire team in Prince Rupert.

“Our Board and staff were very impressed with the scenery and amenities of Prince Rupert,” Arlene told me, “and the hospitality we received was exceptional. Many of our team had never been there before and are looking forward to coming back to visit again soon.”

Agency’s board members decided to GO2 Prince Rupert

On May 4, the season’s first and largest cruise ship, the Holland America Zaandam, docked in Prince Rupert for about 10 hours with approximately 1,400 passengers getting of the ship and adventuring the community, and seeing what it has to offer.

The Prince Rupert Port Authority recently announced that feedback from the Holland America Zaandam passengers and crew were o v e r w h e l m i n g l y positive, which supports the port’s strategy to attract additional cruise visits to Prince Rupert.

“We learned that Prince Rupert’s unique offering of world-class excursions and community hospitality resonated powerfully with passengers aboard the Holland America Zaandam,” said Shaun Stevenson, Vice President of Trade Development for the Prince Rupert Port Authority.

“This adds significant strength to our efforts to attract regular cruise visits within the next few years.”

Cruise ship passengers were greeted by Grade 1 students from Annunciation, who welcomed passengers by singing “Oh Canada” to them as they left the ship.

Mayor Jack Mussallem and two Mounties greeted passengers before

they moved on to either go on an excursion tour, check out the small market and booths that were set up or check out the various shopping in the community.

The Cruise Task Force organized a number of things to entertain passengers, as well as many volunteers serving as ambassadors and interpreters throughout the day, including Seamus McConville, a Grade 11 student from Charles Hays Secondary School.

“I liked meeting the passengers and sharing stuff I know about my hometown. All the appreciative things they said to us made

us feel really good. My friends and I will definitely be volunteering again.”

Many visitors from the cruise ship were given guest satisfaction surveys to fill out before they left.

Even though the weather was rainy with low temperatures, passenger responses were almost exclusively positive.

One couple reported, “Of 101 countries visited in 32 years, we’ve never had such a warm welcome. This is one of the most organized, best stops on our cruise.”

Some passengers even indicated that they would be writing the cruise line to urge that Prince Rupert be included as a permanent port of call for future Holland America cruises.

Cruise ship passengers rated the community on categories including friendliness, service, shopping, cleanliness, tour variety and signage. All of these categories scored over 80 per cent, with nearly 50 per cent of guests citing the welcoming of the community as their most memorable experience.

Later in the season, Prince Rupert will be welcoming vessels from Regent Seven Seas and Silversea Cruises.

Since the new terminal was

opened in 2004, Prince Rupert has hosted over half a million-cruise ship passengers generating money for the community. The new terminal is located strategically for Alaska cruise itineraries on the Inside Passage, while being perched on the

edge of the Great Bear Rainforest.

Shecana looking for three host familiesBy Shaun Thomas

The Northern View

International exchange group Shecana is looking for host families for three European students in Prince Rupert for the fall of 2012.

Two female students and one male student are seeking host families in the community, with one exchange lasting for five months and the others lasting the 10 months of the school year.

18-year old Emma comes from Patamalm, Sweden, a community of about 100 people located about 500 metres from the Baltic Sea. Emma enjoys sports and swims four times per week, in addition to helping teach other students how to swim. She also enjoys reading, photography and has “a broad taste in music”. She has a 29-year old sister and a 27-year old brother, and says she enjoys spending time with children and has “always dreamed of having a little brother or sister to play with”. Emma is arriving in September for a 10-month exchange.

17-year old Lina lives with her older brother, mom and dad in a flat in Berlin, Germany. She plays the piano, paints, draws and enjoys ice skating, photography, cooking and baking and musicals. She is described as an active, friendly, open, polite, responsible person. Lina is also on a 10-month

exchange.15-year old Niels is looking for a host

family for five months. Niels also lives in Berlin, Germany and grew up with one brother. Tennis, snowboarding, skiing and biking are among Niels’ sporting interests, while time is also spent playing video games or reading books. Niels is described as friendly, reliable, helpful, curious and opinionated.

“I have never been to Canada before so I am very excited to spend five months there. I am very happy to have the chance to discover the people and the country in other ways than tourists usually do,” he wrote.

Host families must have parents at least 25-years old and be willing to provide room and board for

the student for the duration of the stay.

The program does provide an honorarium and the students arrive with full medical insurance. As well there is a 24-hour support line for host families if needed.

For more on hosting a student, including an application form to be a host family, visit www.shecana.ca.

Last year there were four Shecana students who studied in Prince Rupert for the whole year, including two students from Germany, one from Italy and one from Denmark.

As well as the Shecana students, the Prince Rupert Rotary Club will be hosting a male student from Spain for the coming school year.

All last week, the Jazz Productions Association (JPA) of British Columbia presented the BC Annual Dance Competition at the Lester Centre of the Arts in Prince Rupert.

To finish off the seven-day competition, JPA held the 22nd Annual Gala Night full of performances from the top two competing groups in each category, with

an awards presentation following the performances.

The emcee of the gala was Paul A. Gordon, who was also an adjudicator throughout the week, along side Taylor Roper, Tammy McVicar and Natalie Lafabre Gnam.

The gala started with all of this year’s Performer of the Year hopefuls in both the junior and senior categories. Dancers from Canada, and even one Australian dancer, grouped together and sang and

danced to “Just like Paradise”, a number choreographed by adjudicator Taylor Roper.

The first Prince Rupert group to perform was E-Motion in the Small Group 12 and under category, performing “Eimeresque”.

The all–girl quadruplet won the first place prize in their category, followed by Contemporary Collective from Terrace.

22nd BC Annual Dance Competition finished on Saturday

Just weeks after the previous

owner shut down Your Dollar Store with More in Prince Rupert, work is underway to re-open the business bigger than when it closed.

Steve Mihalyi, who operates six other locations in northern BC, is taking over the store and the goal is to have the grand opening on June 8.

“We want to be unique, to think outside the box and do things other dollar stores don’t. As our sign says, we’re a dollar store with more,” he said.

“We’re very c o m m u n i t y

minded. This location has had great success in the past and we want to continue that success.”

The store will employ around six people, with hiring currently underway and some of the former staff being brought back. Already the top part of the old store, which was closed and made into a separate space for lease, has been reopened with a wheelchair ramp to make it more accessible and Mihalyi says the plan is to have that space be “party central” filled with everything people might need to host a party.

As for concerns about a new competitor, Dollarama, entering the market at the Rupert Square Mall, Mihalyi says it’s not uncommon to have competition.

“We’re not afraid of competition, we want competition. Competition is good for business, it makes you better, and it’s good for the

customer,” he said.“We’re really excited to be back

in the community and continuing to serve Prince Rupert.”

Hour reduction a concern at Civic CentreBy Shaun Thomas

The Northern View

A number of staff at the Jim Ciccone Civic Centre have been informed that their

hours are being scaled back, and the future of their jobs is uncertain.

T h e reduction in hours came in the form of a letter stating that their hours would be cut – some from 40 hours per week to 25 hours per week and some seeing drastic cuts from 40 hours per week to eight hours per week – during the summer

months “due to budget constraints”. The letter also indicated that a review of their positions would be done to determine how the workers’ jobs would look in terms of hours in September, with a decision expected in the first week of August.

The affected employees were told they would have five days to indicate if they wanted to move to another position in the union, which could bump someone else from that position.

“Where did this come from? The union wasn’t aware this was going on and is now scrambling to find out what’s happening. There was just no consultation at all and if they had tried to work together with the workers we could have looked at other options,” said one of the affected workers, who has been with the City for over two decades and doesn’t recall cuts this deep in the past.

“The uncertainty is that we don’t know if we’re going to have our regular job in September. This is a total sideswipe...All it does is make people nervous. I’m high on the list of seniority and could bump to another job, so others are wondering what this could mean for them.”

According to director of recreation and community services Rudy Kelly, the reduction in hours is something done every year, although this year it has been expanded.

“We do layoffs every summer, and at the pool we do a shutdown for three weeks to a month, which requires lay-offs for lifeguards and front desk workers. Because the Civic Centre traffic is a lot slower in the summer, we’re essentially down to kids camps, we reduce staff...This year we did reduce hours on some people we wouldn’t normally reduce hours for, like custodial staff, because we saw other opportunities to save money in the operations,” he said, noting that the intention isn’t to cut jobs in the fall.

“This was letting them know that during the summer we’ll be reviewing how we do things in terms of staffing and services. In the fall, when they come back they may not get up to the full hours that they had this fall...It was giving them a warning there may be a few hours shaved off here and there going forward.”

As well as taking issue with the cuts themselves, two employees said they felt

the way it was handled was unacceptable.

“They didn’t have the courtesy of holding a meeting to say ‘we’re re-evaluating your hours’ or ‘we’re looking at cuts’. I got a letter in my mailbox on Monday saying my hours were being cut,” said another of the affected employees.

“When I asked to talk to my manager about it, I was told he wasn’t seeing anyone at the moment,” a story that was echoed by another employee.

Dawn was very happy with the results of the Garage Sale we held a couple of weekends ago. The Senior Games Zone 10 is now $700 richer! Way to go all you hard working souls who came out to help and thank you for all the donated items! The Seniors’ Centre will be holding its annual garage sale in late October. As much as I hate to start accepting stuff now, if you have good, clean items that you think will fetch us lots of money and you are planning to get rid of it please give us a call 250-627-1900. Thanks.

Glennis has counted 323 memberships having been sold for 2012. That is a pretty good number. I do have the dreaded job of phoning those who have purchased memberships in past years, but haven’t so far

this year, so please take pity on me and come down on your own accord any time we’re open and we will happily sell you your 2012 membership.

The facilitator of the “55 Alive” workshop for Mature Drivers has yet to get back to me on the times (June 2). Hopefully I will have that information for everyone soon.

P.S. At our last General Meeting Mary Arneson our long, long, long time Treasurer resigned her very important position. We are so thankful to Mary for all her years

of dedication and hard work as Treasurer of the Seniors Centre Association. Thank You Mary!!! Mary will still be coming to play at the Centre however.

SPORTS from the North Coast

CHSS to offer a basketball classBy Martina Perry

The Northern View

Basketball is undoubtedly the most popular sport in Prince Rupert, and starting next school year Grade 11 and Grade 12 students attending Charles Hays Secondary School will have the opportunity to take basketball as a course.

“Basketball is of huge interest to students in this community. We’re very pleased to see this particular course being developed that has the rigger and the requirements that are necessary for a board authorized course,” said Superintendent Lynn Hauptman after the board of education approved the class at last week’s monthly school board meeting.

Students taking Basketball 11/12 will have eight units to complete that will require 120 hours of instruction. The units will consist of team building strategies, rules of the game, footwork, passing and dribbling, and pivoting, offense and defense, individual skills/team concepts, rebounding, physical fitness training, care and prevention of injuries, and a community project.

Students who are successful in the course will earn four of the 28 credits of electives needed to graduate. This course will not count towards

the 16 grade 12 level credits mandatory for graduation.

Students will be graded on their demonstration and application of the skills and rules of the game, on their fitness conditioning, technique and improvement, their community or middle school involvement, coaching assignments, and written and oral tests.

Mel Bishop developed the course and will be teaching it. Bishop has 32 years of coaching experience in AA and AAA High School Levels, with two of his AA teams winning the provincial championships. Bishop played in the Canadian Intercollegiate Athletic Union (CIAU) for five years, and is a CIAU All-Canadian Player, with Bishop previously playing professionally overseas for two years.

Bishop’s Basketball 11/12 would meet requirements set by the Ministry of Education, with similar basketball-based courses being successful in communities across British Columbia. The Ministry of Education encourages boards of education to offer locally relevant courses, such as this one, to students.

The new course will not have any financial implications, as the district already has all of the equipment needed to teach the course.

Two boys run after their mother as she heads down the fi nal stretch to the fi nish line after running the 10 kilometre run at the 2012 Glory Days run.

The next Prince Rupert group to perform was a large group from E-Motion performing “Sailing for Adventure” in the category Variety Group 12 and under. E-Motion placed second for their performance, with Prince George’s Performer’s North taking first place for “Modern Dance Is”.

Prince Rupert’s own Matrix and E-Motion took the top two spots in the Demi-Character category. Matrix’s “Raggedy Anne and Andy” routine placed second in the category, with E-Motion’s “Gatsby Girl” placing first.

In the Musical Theatre Group category, where competitors had to dance and sing, Prince Rupert’s own E-Motion placed first for “The Little Mermaid”. In second place was Prince George’s Performer’s North for “Medley-Fame and Flashdance”.

Prince Rupert’s Matrix group performed “Loser Like Me” for the Song and Dance category, a routine they were awarded second for. Coming in first place in the Song and Dance group category was Prince George’s Performer’s North for “Footloose”.

Finishing off the first half of the gala was E-Motion with “Tribe Vibe”, a routine in the Jazz Group 12 and under category. Rupert’s E-Motion took the silver spot in their category, with Precision from Campbell River taking home the gold for “Glam”.

After intermission local Emily Jack, who was named the Junior Performer of the Year in 2011, and Emily Seymour, the Australian Senior Performer of the Year performed “If They Could See Me Now” together, and showed why they were given the titles last year.

The next Prince Rupert group to perform was E-Motion’s Modern/Contemporary dance to “Hold On”. “Hold On” came in second place, with Performer’s North placing first for “Autobio in 5 Short Chapters”.

Then Emily Jack took the stage again, performing her solo to “Paper Skin”.

The final group from Prince Rupert was E-Motion’s Tap Group 13 and up, who were named the runners up in their category, coming behind Precision from Campbell River.

Finishing off the performances was Australian Performer of the Year Emily Seymour with a solo dance.

Last year both the junior and senior Performers of the Year were from Prince Rupert, however this year both winners were from out of town. Campbell River’s Zoe Garlinski-Gonsky was named the Junior Performer of the Year, and Prince George’s own Tristan Ghostkeeper was named Senior Performer of the Year. Garlinski-Gonsky accepted a cash prize and Ghostkeeper will be attending and competing in the Australian Showcase in Gold Coast, Australia in January 2013.

Additionally, each year a volunteer that has given a tremendous amount of support to the competition in the past is awarded with the Mary Lester

Service Award, with this year’s recipient being Peter Witherly.

The BC Annual was started over 20 years ago by local Teresa Mackereth, and has grown from three-days to a week, and now has some of the largest cash prizes for dancers in the country.
