School staffbeing abused by bad drivers

BY KEVIN CAMPBELLPRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

The twice-daily ritual of picking up and dropping off children at Prince Rupert schools has become alarmingly dangerous and staff who try to head off the danger are being abused.

Im really worried that were going to have an accident ... We have near misses, Sandra Jones, SD52 superintendent said.

We have yellow lines, no parking signs and bus zones, all of which are consistently being parked in, said Jones.

She said parents and guardians are continuing to park in these zones or in endangering street locations but when they are asked to relocate their vehicle, they are verbally abusing school officials or those making the request.

Cullen to push new government for tanker banBY JOSH MASSEYPRINCE RUPERT / Black Press

Wit the new federal Liberal government now in place, northwestern B.C. NDP MP Nathan Cullen says hell be pressing it to follow through on an election commitment to legislate a ban on oil tanker traffic on the north coast.

And one of his first tasks is to prepare an information package for environment minister Katherine McKenna to get her up to speed on Cullens position on tankers and to impress upon her the need to get the ban bill passed as soon as possible.

Both the Liberals and the NDP have supported a tanker ban with Vancouver Quadra Liberal MP Joyce Murray introducing a private members bill in 2010 with Cullen following in 2014 by first introducing a motion in the House of Commons and then a private members bill of his own that year.

Now that the Liberals are in power, Cullen expects the new government to introduce a bill similar to both previous versions, neither of which ever received support from the Conservatives.

The solution is very well-known, its not that there is an enormous amount of research or consultation that needs to be done, their own policy is their campaign commitment. And enacting it would not be difficult and obviously with a majority and our support, such an enactment would pass through parliament very easily, said Cullen.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau made a tanker ban plan a key part of his west coast promises,

saying he would formalize the moratorium on crude oil tanker traffic on British Columbias North Coast including the Dixon Entrance, Hecate Strait, and Queen Charlotte Sound and ensure that ecologically sensitive areas and local economies are protected from the devastating impacts of a spill.

The moratorium would take in the length of the coast from the northern tip of Vancouver Island to the Alaskan border, commonly referred to as the Great Bear Rainforest. Cullen said Trudeau was so adamant about legislating a ban it will be politically impossible to back out.

This was an important election, and B.C. returned a majority of MPs who are supportive of a North Coast tanker ban, so chip chop, he said.

But while a moratorium is certainly in the cards, there are important details to be finalized such as the area in which it might apply and what types of oil products in particular will be banned.

Parents, guardians the culprits

I am really worried I am really worried that we are going to that we are going to have an accident.have an accident.

Trade is building stronger communities.The Port of Prince Rupert is growing opportunities and prosperity by

connecting the communities of northern BC. Last year, port activity was

directly responsible for the equivalent of 3,060 permanent full-time jobs.

So much will depend on the details of the moratorium, said Cullen.

Mr. Trudeau repeatedly said in British Columbia that if he were prime minister, then [the] Enbridge [Northern Gateway oil pipeline] would not go ahead. Thats specific to that project. The larger question he talked about was the legal moratorium on B.C.s coast. I can tell you, as someone who has crafted legislation, that details matter [and] how you put it together matters.

The definitions that both Liberal MP Murray and Cullen used in their respective private members bills said that the definition of oil that would be banned from being transported in tankers included crude petroleum and any other hydrocarbons, except coal and gas ...

Both Trudeau this year and Cullen said their plan for a tanker ban would not apply to the liquefied natural gas industry. Cullen said his private members bill was designed largely to stop the Enbridge Northern Gateway project from going through and that other projects aiming to export refined fuels would still be able to apply for a federal environmental review.

Cullen says he wasnt sure that the Trudeau government has made a distinction yet between refined fuel and crude or diluted bitumen. In terms of the wording in his own bill, Cullen said its drafters in their definitions left room for interpretation adding that my focus was certainly around Northern Gateway.

The other part of Trudeaus promise with regards to energy projects is to make changes to the National Energy Board which examines large-scale energy projects.

He said in his platform literature that he would ensure that its composition reflects regional views and has sufficient expertise in fields like environmental science, community development, and indigenous traditional knowledge.

Wording key to moratorium: Cullen

BAN from Page A1The problem has been ongoing for years and school

officials dont want to have to wait for a severe accident to happen before action is taken to reduce the parking infractions.

Despite the very blatantly marked areas of unacceptable parking zones, Jones said theres a whole host of reasons why parents try to park as close to their childs school as possible but its causing more harm than good.

It seems when the weather gets bad, its even worse. But back in the day, kids used to walk to school and for whatever reason, parents are afraid or theyre worried or its dark. I mean theres all kinds of compelling reasons that parents feel they must drop them off really close to the school, said Jones.

Conrad School interim principal Sheila Wells added that the school zones werent fundamentally designed to handle traffic that they receive now.

When these schools were originally built, there wasnt the traffic in town and it wasnt an issue ... Weve talked to parents, weve talked to staff, weve put it in the newsletter constantly and some parents can be quite rude, actually ... Last week, our sign was hit by a [speeding] vehicle, my truck was hit by a vehicle, so Im no longer parking on the road. As administrators, its a constant frustration, Wells said, also saying that the school reminds kids of the issue.

Parents stop in the middle of the road and kids hop out of the vehicle and they run across the road. Every school has had close calls, she added.

Jones said that there isnt one or two schools in particular that are worse than others, but are all equally in a sad state of affairs in terms of illegal parking. A permanent solution is yet to be found, but until then, the school district has tried a number of methods to offset illegal parking, including reminding the students.

Over the years, weve had the RCMP come and do drive-bys to encourage people [to park where they

should], we often have principals often asking parents, Please dont park here. This is a bus zone or If you wouldnt mind moving your car, to be a gentle presence. So thats some of the work weve done, said Jones.

I know when I was principal and I went out and asked people to [move their car], I was often abused and I know my principals are on the receiving end of some very unpleasant responses when they try and ask people to please be aware [of where they are].

Another way parents could ensure their kids safety in getting to and from school is by parking further away and walking with them to their car or school, said Jones.

The City of Prince Rupert is taking action through its bylaw enforcement department.

Though our current bylaw officer has not received any formal complaints in the past year regarding parking and stopping in school zones, he has taken a proactive approach in identifying issues surrounding Annunciation School and the Fulton Street hill. In the coming weeks, the City of Prince Rupert will begin to increase bylaw enforcement in this area, and implement signage on Fulton Street to deter parents from blocking bus and crosswalk traffic. These steps are being taken not to punish violators, but to promote safe and efficient pick-up and drop-off practices surrounding our Citys schools, said Veronika Stewart, city communications manager.

Those occupying Lelu Island say they have every right to construct structures on the site, despite a letter sent from the Prince Rupert Port Authority earlier this week stating otherwise.

Don Wesley, Smoogyet Yahaan of the Gitwilgyoots, confirmed the groups lawyers received a letter indicating they did not have a permit to build on the site, which included the installation of concrete pilings near the end of October, but said work will continue on the first structure and on the other two buildings planned for the camp.

What were building are permanent structures. Under Canadian law, our rights are protected to build whatever structure is needed to practice our Aboriginal rights and title, he said, noting the roof is going on the first building later this week and the goal is to have three completed for the new year.

There has been no response to the letter because there is nothing to respond to. They are just throwing dust

in the wind to see what sticks.While not discussing or confirming

the letters contents, Prince Rupert Port Authority manager of corporate communications Michael Gurney said the activities on the island are on the organizations radar.

I can say that when it comes to building structures on crown land under the jurisdiction of the Prince Rupert Port Authority, a permit is required. When it comes to buildings related to the occupation of Lelu Island, those have not been authorized by the port authority, he said.

At the present we are not taking any direct action, but do continue to support the right of people to express their opinions as long as it is done safely and respectfully ... our first priority is to ensure the safety

of mariners in the area under port authority jurisdiction. To that end I would like to acknowledge the efforts of our boat crew who continue to work through complicated situations with respect and professionalism.

Our rights are protected Our rights are protected to build whatever to build whatever

structure is needed.structure is needed.

Documents released following a Freedom of Information request show many community leaders told the provincial government that better transportation was needed along Highway 16.

Outlined in the release are details of meetings held in communities along the highway related to the Highway of Tears and the Missing Women Commission recommendations and most say the services offered by Greyhound, Via Rail and the Northern Health Connections bus are inadequate to stop people from hitchhiking.

The notes indicate that those in Smithers told Ministry of Transportation staff that service needs to be good enough to be an option for people and that the region will need consistent accessible public transportation for all before talking about service improvements. In Vanderhoof, ministry officials were told that mothers with kids face severe transportation options just to access the social safety net while leaders in McBride told staff that rural communities deserve some basic level of access to larger communities and that any proposal needs to include a network

to connect smaller communities to the main highway and transportation links.

North Coast MLA Jennifer Rice says those type of statements fly in the face of her discussions with ministry and Minister Todd Stone.

I have been pushing this for two years and the minister said that those people I said wanted improved transportation along Highway 16 werent saying that ... I am really shocked that he stood in the legislature and said improved transportation was not identified as a practical solution by the people who live here when clearly the people the ministry spoke to said otherwise, said Rice, who spearheaded the Freedom of Information request to get details of those meetings and was told such records did not exist.

There are two things here one is hiding and deleting emails, which I think is totally disrespectful to the families, and then there is suppressing information to support the spin put on the situation by the minister. That is worrisome.

In February, according to the Hansard, Stone said the idea of a shuttle bus was not something that people wanted to see given the distance that would need to be covered. However, on Nov. 3 he said the legislature work on the file was still very

much active.The important thing here, I think,

for people on Highway 16 is that we continue to focus on how we can make this corridor safer. Thats the work that I am pouring myself into. Thats the work that my officials are putting their shoulders into. Were going to continue to do that important work to make that corridor safer, he said.

Im going to continue to do the work thats required with communities and First Nations along Highway 16 to identify safer transportation options.

Given the support for increasing transportation access along the Highway

16 corridor and figures indicating the cost to do so would be between $1 million and $2 million per year, Rice said she is optimistic change will be coming.

That is the cost of twinning a highway and that type of expenditure they make all the time ... I cant believe the government wouldnt spend that kind of money to keep people safe and to connect remote communities to grocery shopping or medical services, she said..

I cant see them not doing something like putting in a shuttle service or linking up those communities and I cant believe so much effort has been put in to not do this.

Find a job you love.

Kevin Campbell / The Northern ViewBernie Alexander, Dave Walker and Tobbi Gjelsvik are at the forefront of the Prince Rupert Legions Games Room revitilization. Countless community members have contributed time, expertise and resources over the last two years.

BY KEVIN CAMPBELLPRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

In the early 1980s, Prince Rupert was home to a modest assortment of friends who decided they liked playing the game of Snooker enough that theyd form a competitive league together.

The game, similar to pool but using a larger 12 ft. by 6 ft. surface, with one white cue ball and 22 Snooker balls, was very popular in the North Coast city, often with beer helping or hindering the various players performances.

Four different teams made up the league and they played out of the old Royal Canadian Legion location where Chances now occupies, and they also made frequent appearances at the Elks Lodge, using just one table for all four teams.

Drinking suds and sinking balls seemed like one of the greatest ways to spend a Rupert evening and the game quickly grew.

Expanding from four teams to 15 and comprising 150 players as the city burgeoned with activity in the late 80s, come the fall of every year, the old Snooker league would start up and often it was Legion members who led the way in organizing and winning the coveted championships. They would fill the old 8-Ball pool hall and gaming centre on Third Avenue regularly.

But as the Prince Rupert Legion location fell on financial troubles with low membership and problems with creditors, the Legion gave up their old building and property on First Avenue and the last competitive game of Snooker was played in 2004.

What people have said to us over the years is that for the size of the community here, Snooker is huge, said Legion member Tobbi Gjelsvik last week.

Snooker is more of a dying sport in most places because kids dont want to play on an air-field. They want to [sink a ball], so when [theyre used to tables that are] 4 ft. by 8 ft. Or 4.5 by 9, its hard to get them interested on something this big. But we have had kids come in here and say wed like to learn this game, so what wed look at doing is putting on some sort of clinic to help get them interested in playing because this is a game that grows on you. I tell them if you can play on this, you can go into the bars with your buddies and play anything. The angles are all the same, said Gjelsvik.

The gang has even hosted world-class players such as Cliff Thorburn, a former world champion and

world number-one ranked player (and also a British Columbian) who has strut his stuff on the North Coast.

We treated them like royalty, having these guys here, said Gjelsvik.

Now, the Prince Rupert Snooker community is about to explode.

The sole reason why is sitting on the corner of Third Avenue and Seventh Street.

Gjelsvik, along with the help of Legion members Bernie Alexander, Dave Walker and countless Prince Rupert community members who donated their time, expertise and materials, have collectively rebuilt the Legions Games Room over the past two years, located directly beside the Legion Museum on Third Avenue.

You can read all about Thorburn and other dominant players who have played in Rupert in the archived news clippings, photos and trophies that line the walls of the Games Room, bringing the game and its ambassadors back to life.

There arent many people that dont know about The Room now, said Gjelsvik.

Theres probably 80 people or so on our list who would like to [come in and play]. Theyve been checking in on us on a regular basis and word goes out.

From a concrete floor of an old laundromat that was by no means level as Walker pointed out, countless hours of work has gone into the room, including many from Barry and Carrie Cunningham who levelled

the floor and installed carpeting and a hardwood floor entrance. The Ladies Auxiliary group provided curtains for the windows and a whole two-column list of contributors immortally hangs on the wall beside the dual tables.

With Gjelsvik and Alexander themselves having extensive expertise on building, revitalizing and recovering Snooker tables from laying the cloth (100 per cent wool, Hainsworth English cloth the best you can buy), everything old is new again.

When I was 16, thats when I learned how to do everything. Id go to school in the day and at night, Id work in the pool hall, said Alexander.

Two light fixtures hang over both tables. Dual trophy cases hang on the walls opposite each other, framed pictures adorn the room and a bulletin board of past achievements and old photos hangs to inform newcomers of the history of the sport theyre getting into. Darts, whisk, rummy, eight-ball and all kinds of card games are available to be played in the room. Coin machines sit beside the tables and you cant play a game without ponying up a couple quarters to turn the lights on above the tables.

Its how we make something back. Youre not allowed to play with the lights turned off, said Gjelsvik.

Theres probably less than half a dozen games played on these tables, added Alexander.

It seems fitting that my last column to be written as editor of the Northern View comes out on Remembrance Day because, out of all of the holidays we celebrate here in Canada, Remembrance Day must be at or near the top when it comes to importance.

In this day and age, with so many distractions and technology keeping people

linked together with the press of a button, it could be easy for people to take what we have for granted.

That is even more true as one generation gives way to another and as the few people remaining who have served in the great world wars pass away.

Time is a finicky thing and with attention spans

becoming shorter and shorter, the importance of Remembrance Day and the sacrifices of the men and women who served our country become more and more of an afterthought for many.

But this simply cannot be allowed to happen. The younger crowd needs to know the atrocities of war and what our veterans had to do to endure in the name of Canada.

After all, those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it.

With that being said, it is my hope that the Cenotaph in front of the courthouse is once again packed with people of all ages coming out to pay their respects. It only takes a few minutes from your day, but those minutes are very significant and meaningful.

It is my hope that those with parents, grandparents or even great grandparents who served overseas, take time to talk to youth about what they did and why they did it. Even if they dont take it to heart, its keeping the past and the efforts of those who are no longer alive after serving in the great wars very much alive.

But above all, it is my hope that by sharing and remembering the past, people can learn from it and avoid similar conflicts in the future.

Lest we forget...

Take time to remember

The B.C. government declared the first Conservation Officer Day on Nov. 4, to recognize the 110-year history of the service that started out as mostly volunteer game wardens.

This is overdue recognition for what is essentially a police force that only receives public notice when a bear or cougar has to be killed to protect people.

The ceremony at the B.C. legislature included awards. Chief Conservation Officer Doug Forsdick presented long-service medals and two commendations for lifesaving.

One was to CO Jason Hawkes, who rescued a family of four from their sinking boat on Kootenay Lake last June. He reached them in rough, windy conditions when they were waist-deep in water, far from shore.

The other went to CO Andrew Anaka, for rescuing an angler from an overturned boat, whom he found extremely hypothermic at the base of a cliff at a lake near Powell River on Jan. 22. A second angler didnt make it to shore.

An exemplary service medal went to CO Micah Kneller, who caught up with Fort Nelson RCMP officers and paramedics on Sept. 6, as they treated a hunter who had been attacked by a grizzly in a remote area. As darkness fell, Kneller found a second injured hunter, got the group together, built a fire and assisted until a rescue helicopter from CFB Comox lifted the hunters out at 3 a.m.

NDP environment critic Spencer Chandra Herbert had a couple of things on his mind at the event. He relayed a report

from the B.C. Government Employees Union that there has been a 10 per cent cut in CO staff since 2002.

Not so, replied Environment Minister Mary Polak. The number has hovered around 148 in that time, she said, including seasonal staff for peak hunting and fishing periods.

Polak said extra investment has gone into trucks that serve as mobile command centres, so people arent sitting in offices waiting for the phone to ring. They patrol more and respond faster, which can be vital.

Chandra Herbert also blasted the government for a donation of $100,000 from the Freshwater Fishing Society of B.C. to increase angling enforcement this summer, adding more seasonal CO days. Whats next, bake sales? he said.

The society spends most of its budget restocking lakes with trout and promoting responsible angling, but its new 30-year service contract also calls on it to contribute to enforcement. This is the first year that has happened, and Polak said the extra fishing violation tickets indicate it is working.

The CO service also works on cases such as the Mount Polley mine breach. It has a commercial environmental enforcement unit, a special investigations unit to deal with smuggling and organized crime, and an intelligence analyst. In short, theyre real cops, working with a group of about 150 compliance officers at the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations.

They dont get much respect from an urban public informed by celebrity wildlife protesters such as Pamela Anderson, Miley Cyrus and Ricky Gervais.

Letters to the editorLetters to the editor

Thinking inside the box transformed shippingThe system of trans-porting goods in s t a n d a rd - s i z e dcontainers is a relativelyrecent innovation.

Prior to World War II, ports around the world shipped cargo as break bulk. The term refers to goods that must be loaded and un-loaded individually. This form of shipping is still prevalent today, butdeclined dramatically with the introduction of standardized containers, as it is labour intensive, requires warehousing, and is generally much less efficient. However, break bulk shipping remains useful for access-ing minimally-developed ports that lack modern infrastructure, and fortransporting cargo that simply cannot be stuffed into containers.

The first purpose-built ships for transporting containers were intro-duced in the 1950s, after trucking company owner Malcom McLean developed the modern intermodal container in the United States.

The first purpose-built container ship was the Clifford J. Rodgers, which successfully completed its maiden voyage in 1955, carrying 600 containers between Vancouver and Skagway, Alaska.

This trip also marked the introduction of the first intermodal service using ships, trucks and railroad cars. A number of those containers wereloaded to new, purpose-built rail cars and moved to the Yukon.

During the first two decades of containerized trade, a series of com-promises between international shipping companies brought about the evolution of standard sizes, fittings and reinforcements for containers. By 1970, the International Organization for Standardization had de-fined common terminology, dimensions and ratings for shipping con-tainers that were adopted by trading nations around the world.

The introduction of large-scale container shipping dramatically changed the port landscape, both in North American and Europe.

The Port of San Francisco, which had functioned as a major com-mercial port for break bulk for decades, lost its status as a major com-mercial port to the neighbouring Port of Oakland, which was able to build new infrastructure and capitalize on the emergence of container-ization.

In Europe, the ports of London and Liverpool declined in impor-tance, while the Port of Felixstowe and the Netherlands Port of Rotter-dam became two of the largest on the continent.

Today, approximately 90% of non-bulk cargo worldwide is moved by container ships.

The benefits of this form of shipping include dramatic reductions in the cost of international trade, and vastly increased speed in the move-ment of consumer goods and commodities. Containerization also im-proved cargo security, as goods are no longer readily visible and are locked inside the containers. The use of standardized container sizes has also lessened issues of incompatibility between rail networks in dif-ffferent countries, making transshipment between different trains mucheasier.

At the Port of Prince Rupert, the rise of containerization made pos-sible the conversion of Fairview Terminal from an under-utilized break-bulk facility to one of the worlds fastest growing container terminals.

Re:port is a collaborative promotional venture by thePrince Rupert Port Authority and The Northern View.

Editor: Re: Myths of the Highway of Tears (B.C.

Views, Oct. 28).Tom Fletchers column triggered my memory

of the dog whistle politics we saw in the recent federal election.

The Highway of Tears is not a myth and using mythology in the title of that column is an insult to the hundreds of Aboriginal families who have lost loved ones as a result of many tragedies that have occurred on that road and across this country.

The identity politics of the outgoing prime minister were properly rewarded, and the party that showed Stephen Harper the door at 24 Sussex Drive has promised an inquiry into the disproportionate number of murders and disappearances that continue to occur in the Aboriginal population. It would be hoped that an inquiry will begin to expose the depth and colour of systemic issues inherent in Canadian institutions that help perpetuate these tragedies, and that the new federal government will commit to real solutions from its recommendations.

The incoming prime minister has made further commitments to the 92 recommendations

that came out of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) process.

The TRC has helped many Canadians to understand the origins of deep-rooted problems faced by Aboriginal communities both on and off reserve, and to help them move Canadians individually and collectively to a reconciliation commitment. Those current and future problems will always be about the quality of the relationship between the First Nations people and the general non-native population.

Improving the transportation options for people in the North is primary, but it does not solve the systemic problems that continue to poison opportunities for everyone to work together to end the dysphoria that has dominated Aboriginal communities both on and off-reserve.

Reconciliation Canada is a key agent of change in this space and is dedicated to building meaningful relationships where all Canadians achieve their full potential and shared prosperity. Getting informed is the first step. Stepping into this discourse is the next. I am stepping in.

Editor: This letter is addressed to the mayor and

council in Port Edward and to Stonecliff Properties.

I have a question for the mayor and council and its been weighing heavy on my mind for awhile now. I am not sure if anyone else is thinking about this, but my question is howcome the mayor and council of Port Edward didnt stand behind the people living in the trailer court and help them fight to keep their homes?

The company, Stonecliff Properties, should be ashamed of themselves for treating those families like that. Some of those families are my friends.

How many of those families voted the mayor and council in and then turned around and didnt help or support them when they needed you?

Shame on you all. If it ever happens to you, you will finally understand how these families feel.

As for Stonecliff Properties, how dare you try to order people to pay for the removal of the trailers when you are the ones who treated the families bad and forced them out. If I were the tenants of the trailer court, I would just sign the

trailers over to you and you could get rid of them at your own expense.

Shame, shame on you. People will never trust your company again.

Port Edward and Prince Rupert will always be connected. We should have helped and stood beside these families to try and save their homes.

Shame on us too. These families have children and live

paycheque to paycheque, like so many of us do. They cant afford to pay to have these trailers removed and disposed of. I hope that any good judge would rule in favour of the families and tell Stonecliff Properties that they have to dispose of the trailers at their own expense.

At one point in my life I lived out there in the trailer court too, so I know what it is like. I was taught right from wrong and to help people. I hope that one day Stonecliff Properties, who was involved in hurting these families, realizes that what they did was wrong.

Port Edward and Prince Rupert, lets not let this happen again. Lets stand together and help protect each other.

The Games Room is not only a communal place to catch up, challenge your buddies to some billiards or perhaps even down a few beer (the Legion is working on its licencing capabilities), but it will be a catalyst to boost membership to the Legion and cultivate more interest in the institution by the community.

We can see the end of all [of everyones work now], finally. There are a few things like an apron for the table and then Bernie stained the tables and matched it as close to the rail colour as we could and just a couple more odds and ends things [left to do], said Gjelsvik.

There are a lot of guys out there, like Shane Foreman hes got his own pool table, so a lot of these guys I talk to they go to Shane Foremans place, Alexander added, saying that since 2004, the billiards community has been migrating from place to place.

[Everyone] understands whats gone into this room and theyll support the room. It doesnt matter what table is at home ... theyll come down here. I think its a good atmosphere. Its small enough and big enough to work for everybody, Gjelsvik said.

While the room hasnt officially opened yet,

the Legion has a rough idea how theyd like to operate it mainly through volunteers who keep track of who comes through the doors through a sign-in system (approved for Legion members and their guests).

When we get going there will be lots of people signing up because they want to come here and play, said Gjelsvik.

The plan now is to get to Remembrance Day and show it to all the people here and pass the word out to the guys who used to play in the league before ... Were going to have a separate call for members as to how they want to play it singles, doubles or teams.

If members miss the chance to see the new room on Remembrance Day, they can check it out on Saturday, Nov. 21 for the Legions fourth Steak Night of the year. The first three saw increasing attendees from 21 people to 50 to 80. The Legion is expecting to crack those totals for the night of the 21st.

Right now, membership sits at roughly 75 members, but those numbers will rise as well. Application forms are available at the Legion Museum from Thursday to Sunday from 1:30 to 4:30 p.m. or by calling Djelsvik at 778-884-9270 or Alexander at 250-627-1064, or attending Remembrance Day festivities or Steak Night.

Contibuted / The Northern ViewEquipment and instruments from the Watson Island Pulp Mill will be auctioned off on Nov. 18 and 19.

Mill equipment going to auctionBY SHAUN THOMAS PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

The decommissioning and rehabilitation of Watson Island is taking another step forward with an auction of the equipment scheduled later this month.

Aucto.com, an online industrial equipment sale site, will host an online auction of more than 1,000 pieces of equipment on Nov. 18 and 19. The auction itself is being undertaken by NRI Industrial, the sales division of NRI Global, which was awarded the contract to decommission the former pulp mill earlier this month. Among the pieces of equipment are large items such as the chlorine dioxide

generating plant and bleach plant washers to small items such as tools, pumps, controls, valves and instrumentation.

Before the auction gets underway, NRI is welcoming interested buyers to visit the site and view the equipment from Nov. 11 to Nov. 17, although photos of the items can now be viewed at www.aucto.com.

The City of Prince Rupert, which took ownership of the site following a settlement agreement with past owners Sun Wave Forest Products, declined to comment on whether or not the money from the auction would go into city coffers or be split between the two organizations citing an agreed-upon confidentiality clause.

Contributed / The Northern ViewFire Chief for a Day Danee Carr, centre, Rocky Paolo, Troy Leighton, Sparky and Ryan Fuzi of the Prince Rupert Fire Rescue Department.

Each October, fire departments across the country provide fire safety presentations and educational materials to children in Grades 1-3.

This year, the 2015 theme was Hear the Beep Where You Sleep, and focused on having functioning smoke detectors in the home. The Prince Rupert Fire Rescue Department conducted fire safety presentations to nearly 600 students, and with support from Pacific Northern Gas (PNG), handed out 25 free smoke detectors vouchers to students at schools across the city.

As part of Fire Prevention Week activities, one lucky Pineridge student, Danee Carr, was drawn as Fire Chief for a Day. His duties included visiting the Fire Station, touring the Safeway Bakery and bringing back a cake to share with his classmates, and having lunch with the firefighters at McDonalds.

Fire Prevention Week provides an important message to our children about fire safety. The success of this week relies on the effort and contributions from all of our community members that participate along with the Fire Department.

The Prince Rupert Fire Rescue Department would like to thank the students, teachers, families, and all

of the community partners for their continued support of this important week.

Carr named Fire Chief for a Day

@portfi nancenews / Twitter.comPrince Rupert Port Authority president and CEO Don Krusel addresses delegates in Hamburg.

BY SHAUN THOMAS HAMBURG / The Northern View

Hamburg, Germany doesnt have much in common with Prince Rupert, B.C.

With a population of more than 1.7 million people and essentially half-a-world away, the two comunities dont share a common language, common demographics or a common culture.

But one thing Hamburg and Prince Rupert do have in common is a port facility that links interior markets to the world. And it was that commonality that brought Prince Rupert Port Authority president and CEO Don Krusel to the stage in Hamburg as one of the speakers at the inaugural KPMG Global Shipping Conference on Nov. 3.

Prince Rupert Port Authority manager of corporate c o m m u n i c a t i o n s Michael Gurney said Krusels presentation focused on sharing the strategic approach to the Port of Prince Ruperts development story.

He emphasized how the Port has focused on the fundamental principles of cargo diversity, local economic benefits, planning to safely accommodate vessel traffic increases, and managing e n v i r o n m e n t a l impacts to ensure that growth is sustainable into the future, he said..

The conference brought together

those involved in the shipping industry from around the world to examine common issues such as capital market strategies, taxation challenges and the influence of developing international ports on the industry.

BY ROD LINK KITIMAT / Black Press

The future of floating LNG terminals could depend on the result of an appeal targeting a decision by the federal government to impose a $100 million customs duty on a planned liquefied natural gas (LNG) project at Kitimat.

The appeal was filed by AltaGas, a Canadian partner in the Douglas Channel LNG project which would feature a LNG plant affixed to a floating platform to be built in Asia and ferried to Kitimat. Because the federal Canada Border Services Agency is classifying the platform as a ship, its subjecting the barge-shaped platform to a 25 per cent duty fee.

AltaGas vice president John Lowe, in speaking to analysts during a conference call held to discuss the companys latest earnings, said it takes the opposite view.

The floating unit is incapable of navigation, it has no self-propulsion and its going to be moored permanently, he said.

And the equipment on the platform should not be subject to any duty, which is the case for all equipment that liquefies air or gases, Lowe said.

AltaGas and other members of the Douglas Channel consortium have been working toward a final investment decision on the $600 million project by the end of the year and an appeal of the $100 million duty fee is necessary to make that decision, said Lowe.

He noted that the Douglas Channel LNG project is not the only proposal involving a floating platform.

We feel that on a policy basis its not in Canadas interest

to impose this sort of a barrier to these developments, particularly when there really arent any shipyards in Canada that would be able to undertake this sort of a project, said Lowe.

NDP MP Nathan Cullen says hell be contacting AltaGas to find out more about the $100 million federal customs bill.

While Cullen acknowledged that the 25 per cent duty is meant to protect and encourage Canadian shipbuilders, he noted the importance of the project to the area.

This is a situation where the company is doing the right thing, said Cullen.

It has the approvals and the approval of the local First Nations.

I certainly feel AltaGas deserves a fair hearing.Cullen did wonder if the duty was an item AltaGas

knew about in the planning of the project or whether it was something just recently sprung by federal customs officials.

In the meantime, provincial natural gas development minister Rich Coleman says hes talking to the federal

government about a duty remission.We are working with our industry partners,

stakeholders and other levels of government to ensure British Columbia is a competitive place to do business, said Coleman.

We believe providing duty remission for Douglas Channel LNG, consistent with other LNG facilities, will make Canada more attractive for companies considering establishing projects here.

The province has contacted the federal government to support duty remission for the proposed Douglas Channel LNG facility. We look forward to continuing these discussions, Coleman said.

Provided there is an investment decision made by the end of this year, the Douglas Channel project would be the first LNG facility off the mark.

At $600 million it would also be the smallest compared to others, such as Chevron-backed Kitimat LNG and Shell-backed LNG Canada, also at Kitimat, that would cost upwards of $40 billion.

BY KEVIN CAMPBELL PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

Samuel Costa had to say goodbye and retire his project-displaying bristol board.

After two years and two projects, the thing was starting to fall into disrepair on the Grade 6 student from Prince Rupert Middle School.

But not before it helped Sam win a national award and a trip to Ottawa.

I had to take down the board because it was starting to fall apart, said Samuel last week.

But I think thats a lucky board because I used it on my Canada Dry project in 2014.

Whether it was a lucky piece of material, sheer hard work, or pure passion for his topic, Sams Heritage Fair project, based on the gold rush town of Barkerville in B.C., a provincially-owned heritage town and national historic site, won him the 2015 Young Citizens Award. The award, given to 26 recipients across Canada two from each province and territory was presented by Canadas History Society for students aged 10 15. Each winner was one of 55,000 heritage fair projects to be displayed across the country within the past school year and Samuels video was one of 170 viewed by a panel of judges and subject to online voting.

Two projects from the Northwest Regional Fair in 2015 were asked to make videos on their topics for the Young Citizens program, with the other candidate being a student named Marina G. from Annunciation School here in Prince Rupert.

One of the reasons Sam was so successful in having a masterful grip on his topic was because the Rupertite has visited Barkerville just three years ago.

I had a lot of fun. We were going to Vancouver and on the way, we made a pit stop in Barkerville. I got to go gold-panning and they had a whole bunch of cool stores and I just decided to do my project on it, Sam said.

His favourite part was The Waterwheel Show a display of 1870s mining technology, using an authentic, wooden Cornish Waterwheel.

In his video, titled Barkerville stands the test of time, Sam combines narration of the history and significance

of Barkerville and a slideshow of historically significant images, with Sam in front of the camera with his project to boot.

During his trip to Ottawa, Sam was able to visit Rideau Hall, the Bytown Museum, the Museum of History and his personal favourite the War Museum (It had a lot of tanks). He represented Prince Rupert at Canadas H
