The City of Prince Rupert is asking the court to remove the pending litigation related to Watson Island, citing “hardship and inconvenience” from the ongoing legal dispute with Sun Wave Forest Products.

In a Nov. 9 filing with the Supreme Court, the City says the Certificates of Pending Litigation are negatively impacting them in five major ways and that all of the problems have been compounded

by “Sun Wave’s delay in bringing its various claims and its failure to advance its actions”.

First, the City said the ongoing legal battle is preventing the sale of the site to WatCo for $5 million. Secondly, with the matter still undecided upon, the City is unable to collect property taxes that could be in excess of $1 million per year.

Third, as the owners of Watson Island, the City of Prince Rupert is susceptible to “an unreasonable exposure to financial and other liability due to the precarious environmental state of the lands”.

““The spill was cleaned up... The City did everything it

was required to do...”- Jack Mussallem

Page 2: The Northern View, November 21, 2012

LETTER from Page 1The letter points to the environmental

screening document completed in 2006, which said that trains would not be using the level crossing leading to the BC Ferries terminal but would depart south from the site, and that the Prince Rupert Port Authority would create a phone line people could call to complain about noise and establish procedures for dealing with those complaints.

“Unfortunately none of these statements have stood the test of time. To this day trains are moving into the Prince Rupert downtown rail yard and a noise complaint phone number has not been established,” reads the letter.

However, a search of the Prince Rupert Port Authority website shows a Community Comment Line phone number in the “Contact Information” section of the site. The Prince Rupert Northern View called the phone number, which greets callers with a recording indicating that messages are checked daily, with all messages recorded and directed to the appropriate departments. Further, the message asks callers to leave a phone number or e-mail address so the Prince Rupert Port Authority can follow up

on the message. The City also calls into doubt the

assurance that “noise and vibration are predicted to be not significant” found in the Comprehensive Study for Phase II based on the operation of Phase I.

“Prince Rupert City Council understands what the proponents are stating in regards to potential increase in rail traffic noise the Fairview Phase II Expansion Project

will create, but remains skeptical of their predictions based on an uneven track record of being able to foresee accurately how operations will eventually evolve... As the proponent was unable to predict the amount of traffic entering into the downtown Prince Rupert rail yard for the initial phase of developing the Fairview Container Port, what assurances can the City and members of the public count on regarding predictions

regarding noise and vibration mitigation strategies this time around?”

Mayor Mussallem also questions whether the Prince Rupert Port Authority should be involved in the decision at all.

“Council also notes that the Federal responsible authority for the Fairview Terminal Phase II Expansion Project Environmental Assessment is the Prince Rupert Port Authority itself. The Prince Rupert Port Authority is also identified as a proponent and this appears to be a direct conflict of interest. Council is concerned that these facts may undermine the credibility of the Environmental Review process,” it reads.

The Prince Rupert Port Authority said it will not be publicly commenting on the contents of the letter.

“The Port Authority will be responding directly to the City about its concerns,” said Manager of Corporate Communications Michael Gurney.

The letter was addressed to Prince Rupert Port Authority vice-president of project management Lorne Keller, project manager Bryan Nelson and CN’s system manager of environmental assessment Luanne Patterson.

Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been talking about the precautions, the safety measures, and the selection criteria involved in the marine elements of the Gateway project — all of them intended to prevent an oil spill on water. I’ve also mentioned, in recent weeks, how Gateway’s marine safety program was examined by an independent risk-assessment group, which determined that the chances of a major spill are once in more than 15,000 years.

Although statistics and reports suggest a marine oil spill is unlikely, you want to know — what if one does occur? How will Gateway be prepared? While the chances are slim, we continue to develop a world-class marine response program.

The Northern Gateway Project includes a spill response capacity that’s more than three times the Canadian regulation. And while the Canadian requirement for oil spill response is 72 hours plus travel time, our response time will be a fraction of that number — 6 to 12 hours in the marine channels. This is a signifi cant increase to the response capability available to B.C.’s north coast. Additionally, for immediate response, our tug escorts will be

equipped with booms, oil skimmers, and fi refi ghting equipment to provide enhanced initial containment, and they will be available to all marine traffi c in the event of an incident.

We will store equipment, such as containment and absorbent booms, skimmers, and waste storage, in multiple well-maintained, readily accessible response bases, providing a wider area of coverage in a shorter amount of time. Barges will also be located throughout the marine channels for additional storage and equipment mobilization. We are committed to having staff, contractors, and partners in place to maintain that enhanced state of readiness.

The Gateway project will likely never see a major marine oil spill. But if it does, we’ll be prepared to protect our coastline.

In the filing, the City cites an incident this summer in which 5,000 litres of sulphuric acid leaked out with some of it spilling into the marine environment.

“The spill was cleaned up with assistance from the Province of BC. The City did everything it was required to do and the province was contacted immediately,” said Prince Rupert mayor Jack Mussallem of the spill.

“The problem was noted and part of the ongoing security on the site is the monitoring of the chemicals that were left... It requires a constant effort.”

Fourth, the City notes that the monthly cost of holding the site is roughly $80,000. Since taking ownership of Watson Island in September, 2009, and not taking into account legal fees and other unpaid liabilities, the City says it has spent more than $400,000. Along with those costs, and as the final point of hardship caused by the ongoing case, the City says it is incurring costs associated with the “administrative time to hold and manage Watson Island”.

The latest filing comes almost three years after the case was launched by Sun Wave Forest Products, which was back on Jan. 19, 2010.

british columbia to shake up tsunami warning systemu PrInce ruPerT offIcIals Welcome move

By Martina Perry The Northern View

In the wake of severe criticism, the British Columbian Ministry of Justice has announced it will be making changes to the tsunami warning protocol.

BC emergency warnings took as long as an hour following the Oct. 27 earthquake off Haida Gwaii.

Although Prince Rupert officials responsible for warning response in the city didn’t criticize the

government, they are happy to see some improvements being made.

“It is incumbent upon us that when we are given a circumstance like the 7.7 magnitude earthquake we should look at how things worked. None of us think any system of notification is perfect, so our job is to make sure we take those circumstances and learn from them,” Shirley Bond, Minister of Justice and Attorney General for BC, said in a conference call with media earlier this week.

Under the new protocol, when emergency officials are alerted or advised of a potential threat by the

West Coast and Alaska Tsunami Warning Centre, the government will immediately email a warning to a list of prioritized local authorities, emergency responders and the media.

After they have done that, the Crown agency will post information on social media sites, such as Twitter.

“We are going to do everything as quickly and simultaneously as possible,” said Bond.

In Prince Rupert, emergency

responders and the Prince Rupert Port Authority mustered at the Emergency Operations Centre at City Hall to monitor and plan how to address the situation.

Michael Gurney, Manager of Corporation Communications for the Prince Rupert Port Authority, was at the centre on Oct. 27 and said more rapidly distributed information would be beneficial if another tsunami warning was put in place in the future.

I am being discriminated against.Shaun Thomas wrote earlier this month

about a homelessness crisis approaching in Prince Rupert.

“People who are actually homeless and living on the street are probably small in number, but the number of people potentially homeless within a short period of time is probably several. These are people who are 30 days away from being homeless if something happens to disrupt their income level,”

said Capt. Gary Sheils of the Salvation Army.Well, Capt. Sheils, nothing has disrupted my

income level, but you can add me to the list. I’m about 30 days from hitting the street as well.

I make a decent living, actually own my little house on the prairie in Manitoba; have good references (although a little dated because I haven’t needed to rent for some time); and Visa doesn’t give me a hard time, but yet, this is the dilemma I’m in. I rented a cozy little house on Fifth Ave. West, but it was only a short-term lease. That lease is up shortly and I can’t find a freakin’ house to rent.

To be fair, there are rentals in Prince Rupert but by far and large most of the landlords are discriminatory. Yes, despite good credit, good job, good references, good conduct, I am soundly rejected at every turn.

Why? I have a dog. Taffy is the best part of my day and for the past

five years she has been this man’s best friend.And for that reason, I want a house with a yard. Taffy is the most affable yellow labrador you’ll

ever meet and never a problem. Well, down at the puppy park she did have a spat over a tennis ball with another lab, but they worked it out quickly.

But no matter how well-behaved Taffy is, the phone goes dead every time I mention I have a dog to a landlord advertising their place.

I get it. I understand it. Many landlords have had bad experiences with tenants and their pets. But if you drill down, the landlord didn’t have a bad experience with the pet, it was a bad owner of a pet. I pride myself on being a good owner. And I’m even more proud of my dog.

So if you have a small house with a yard and want to rent it. If you want your rent on time each and every month. If you want a responsible renter who will take good care of your place.

Don’t discriminate. Throw me a bone.

There is a very interesting dynamic growing between the

City of Prince Rupert and the Prince Rupert Port Authority (PRPA), and it’s one that needs to be changed for the betterment of the community.

The letter sent from the City outlining their concerns was so critical of the Port Authority and CN that I was taken a bit aback. The letter, signed by the mayor of Prince Rupert, basically says the PRPA broke its promises to the community, isn’t to be trusted when it comes to train traffic projections and has failed to declare a conflict of interest that completely undermines the Environmental Assessment process. Some of the points they raise are valid, others are not and at least one point is factually inaccurate.

It was very strongly worded and fairly negative toward a group that many see as

being responsible for shaping the future of Prince Rupert. In fact, some would argue that the economic future of Prince Rupert will be decided not at City Hall, but out of the port’s offices in Atlin Terminal. Port activity is driving the economy of Prince Rupert, it’s something anyone in town will tell you and something the City itself has acknowledged. The growth of Prince Rupert as a gateway to the Asia-Pacific has effectively replaced the jobs lost by the decline in forestry and fishing as Prince Rupert continues to move from the resource-based economy of decades past to the transportation-based economy of the future.

Put it this way, if Fairview Terminal hadn’t been converted from a break-bulk facility to a container terminal I shudder to think what the population in town would be.

And when you talk about optimism in the community it all centres around port-related projects – Phase II expansion, the Petronas LNG terminal, the BG Group LNG terminal, the

Canpotex potash terminal and the Pinnacle pellet plant.

The tricky part in this is that, if the Port Authority wants to do something on their lands, there is nothing that the City of Prince Rupert – the people elected to represent residents – can do about it. The City’s zoning bylaws don’t apply to port lands, the Official Community Plan doesn’t apply, the public hearing processes don’t apply, and if council votes to oppose something the result is non-binding on the project.

As representatives of the citizens of Prince Rupert who are tasked to look out for the

people’s best interest, this can’t sit too well.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – Prince Rupert is a town in transition and not every part of that transition will be welcome by everyone in town. It means more rail traffic and less waterfront access in exchange for more jobs and disposable income. This transition can be a very positive thing if everyone is on the same page and moving in the same direction. This latest letter clearly shows that the City of Prince Rupert and the Prince Rupert Port Authority are not on the same page about how to move forward.

And they need to be.It’s time that these two

groups that have such an impact in our lives sit down at the table, air their grievances and mutually agree upon a way to move forward that creates several benefits and minimizes negative effects surrounding future development.

Thomas right on pot debateEditor:Re: Shaun Thomas’ Nov. 14

column, Prince Rupert Northern View.

Now that neighbouring Washington State and Colorado have legalized marijuana, Ottawa can no longer claim Canada must uphold marijuana prohibition in order to maintain good U.S. relations.

In 2002, the Canadian Senate Special Committee on Illegal Drugs concluded that marijuana is relatively benign, prohibition contributes to organized crime,

and law enforcement efforts have little impact on patterns of use.

Consider the experience of the former land of the free

and current world leader in per capita incarceration. The U.S. has double the rate of marijuana use as the Netherlands, where marijuana is legally available.

The only winners in the war on marijuana are drug cartels and shameless tough-on-drugs politicians who confuse the drug war’s tremendous collateral damage with a comparatively harmless plant.

Just pull the plug on bulliesEditor:Inside of four minutes on the

evening of Oct. 27 a magnitude 7.7 earthquake dried up three Haida Gwaii hot springs that had been flowing forever leaving only warm green mud.

If only parents could be as decisive as Mother Nature in taking action when their children are bullied.

Parents should divest their kids of cell phones and laptops to assure them of sanctuary in their own homes.

Experts of every stripe have identified cell phones and laptops as an avenue bullies use to torment others not only during school hours but around the clock, while kids are at home in their own bedrooms.

Yet parents go on muttering somebody should do something about bullying when they could put an end to their kid’s harassment in one swift move.

If your kid has no access to a cell phone or laptop, his bully-tormentors have no access to him either.

What’s the worst that can happen if a parent takes away a kid’s phone and laptop? Will he

scream, stomp, slam a few doors? Declare he hates you? Big deal. What parent hasn’t withstood all those insults before, when mom or dad said no?

Your kid won’t be happy without the communication toys other kids have. How sad!

Why does the average kid carry a cell phone? To satisfy their helicopter parent who must know where they are at every minute?

Unless a teen is holding down a job and needs to be available for shifts, or suffers a medical condition which might require an ambulance on short notice, no kid needs instant messaging. They can phone one friend at a time on the family’s phone.

If the cell phone is a timepiece, buy the kid a plastic wristwatch not worth stealing. School age kids have few appointments to be on time for — every house has clocks to get them off to school in time to catch their bus or arrive for class. Every classroom has a clock. When school lets out, they catch a bus home.

What does a kid get out of texting non-stop? Watch them sit side-by-side texting each

other, when they could talk, for free. But kids today can’t carry on a face-to-face conversation, experts say. Little wonder. Learning to converse is a skill like any other and improves with practise.

Maybe you believe kids need to carry a cell phone in case of some disaster such as Columbine. But how many Columbines have occurred in the past 20 years? Balance that against the number of kids who have committed suicide because they were cyber bullied beyond endurance.

Columbines are a rarity; suicides from bullying are becoming weekly events.

Granted, one take-charge mom can’t cure cyber bullying, but she can limit bullies’ access to her own child. And other parents might follow her lead. Limiting a child’s availability to bullies through social media would decimate the number of viral videotaping of bullying, fighting, and other assaultive behaviour that now go on while bystanders cheer.

Coal export growth is good news for RupertAs reported in this

edition of The Northern View,

the successful arrival and unloading of Ridley Terminals Inc.’s new stacker/reclaimer equipment represents the next step in a significant expansion of Prince Rupert’s coal export capacity.

RTI’s plan is to double the volume of coal moving through its terminal from 12 to 24 million tonnes by 2014. This will contribute to the already-dramatic growth of dry bulk cargo movement through the Port of Prince Rupert.

And with global demand for metallurgical (coking) and thermal coal forecasted to rise steadily over the next 15 years, an opportunity might arise for further capacity increases.

For example, a total of 240 million tonnes of coking coal were moved globally by sea in 2010. That number is estimated to increase to almost 400 million tonnes by the end of the decade.

The most voracious consumer of coal on the planet is China, one of Canada’s largest trading partners. China now uses nearly 50% of total global coal production.

China is looking beyond traditional suppliers like Australia to secure coal needed to manufacture steel. This steel is literally supporting the county’s massive infrastructure expansion and unprecedented urban population growth.

With as many as 17 new or expanded coal mines slated to be operating in British Columbia by 2015, the Port of Prince Rupert is in the right place at the right time. It is a convenient gateway between burgeoning coal-producing communities like Tumbler Ridge and sprawling metropolises like Shanghai and Beijing.

Future developments will depend heavily on strong foreign market demand. What is certain is that RTI’s current expansion is resulting in greater local employment opportunities. Contracted companies like Arctic Construction Ltd. and Adventure Paving have been able to train and employ local people for work on their respective portions of the project, and the completed expansion will result in the creation of between 20 and 25 permanent jobs at the terminal in addition to RTI’s current 140+ employees.

It’s widely known that the resurgence in Western Canada’s resource sector has created an abundance of opportunities for the Port of Prince Rupert to explore new and innovative terminal developments, including potash and natural gas export facilities on Ridley Island.

We have a chance to welcome new bulk cargo businesses that represent the potential for hundreds of high-paying jobs in this community, millions in new revenue for the City of Prince Rupert, and widespread prosperity for the province of British Columbia.

But in the meantime, it’s important that we also recognize and celebrate the current benefits and future potential of our existing terminals.

The work they have done has advanced the Port of Prince Rupert’s reputation as the fastest, most reliable and sustainable trade gateway on the west coast of North America.

Urgency needed if region is to benefit from energy exportsu hEAVy comPETITIoN

By Lauren Benn Black Press

Big dollars in the headlines and job numbers listed for proposed projects in B.C.’s natural gas sector are no sure thing.

And as global competition heats up, a unified sense of urgency is needed if British Columbians want to turn such opportunities into bona fide sources of economic prosperity, echoed two keynote speakers at the 2012 Energy Summit held at Terrace’s Best Western Hotel Nov. 16.

Representatives from both the provincial government and the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers (CAPP) shared a clear message: Asian markets look inviting to Canadian natural gas resources, but we’re not the only player vying for opportunities.

Technology that enables the extraction of natural gas from rock formation means global supply is shifting and B.C. is in a race with countries like Australia, Qatar and the United States to export Liquefied Natural Gas.

“In this case, we have competitors that are in front

of us,” said Geoff Morrison, manager of CAPP’s B.C. operations.

“(And) in this case ... opportunities won’t be back.”

The opportunities he speaks of are not only with Japan and South Korea, where demand for natural gas is currently highest, but in China and India, where demand growth is forecast to be the highest in coming years.

“If we can develop and compete in these eastern markets then we have a lot to offer,” he said, adding that the International Energy Statistics Agency (IEA) is predicting global demand for energy to increase 40 per cent by 2035.

But Canada is third from the top in terms of natural gas reserves, and sixth from the top for production, said Morrison. And the ability to extract natural gas from shale formations using high pressure water fracking is changing the face of production in not only North America, but the world.

Resulting from this technique, Canada’s number one customer, the United States, now has access to gas reserves which will enable it to become energy self-sufficient

by 2035, according to a release by IEA Nov. 12.

Now, nine billion of about 14.25 billion cubic feet of natural gas is shipped to the United States yearly.

“We actually see a trend down in exports of natural gas about 15 per cent,” said Morrison.

“Our largest customer is also the largest producer.”

The U.S. is expected to be a net exporter of gas by 2020, according to the IEA report.

With an industry that’s contributed about $1 billion yearly to Canada’s treasury, and a list of proposed liquefied natural gas projects touching the northwest touting expenditures around the $10 billion mark, staying competitive is essential to maintaining the industry, said

Morrison. As part of the BC Jobs

Plan, B.C.’s Assistant Deputy Minister of Energy, Mines, and Petroleum Graeme McLaren said the province has prioritized one LNG plant and pipeline to be operational by 2015 in B.C. and three by 2020 in order to do so.

“Right at the top of that list was the natural gas sector,” he said about strategies identified within the BC Jobs Plan.

McLaren cited Canadian Energy Research Institute statistics saying 40,000 jobs can be attributed directly and indirectly to the natural gas industry here, contrasting that statistic with one from WorkSafeBC which cites 20,000.

“It’s a major, major contributor to our economy.”

Sprung from this part of the jobs plan, two documents were released in 2012, he said, being the Natural Gas Strategy and the LNG Strategy. He said priorities include diversifying energy markets with LNG being the best way to do so.

Projects McLaren identified as being timely include BC LNG, also known as Douglas Channel LNG, which has an export

licence and could be operational by 2015, he said.

Next up is Kitimat LNG; Apache, Encana and EOG own the Pacific Trails Pipeline which would feed their plant. An export licence has been granted and it has potential to be ready by 2015 or 2016 if money to finish it pulls through.

“We’re waiting for a final investment on this one,” said McLaren.

“Another big project is LNG Canada,” he said, adding the Coastal Gas Link project is owned by Shell and its Asian partners. This proposal has yet to go through environmental assessment but has applied for an export licence. It could be ready by 2019.

Other proposals and interests have also come before the province, including interest from U.S. ExxonMobil, which owns about 70 per cent of Imperial Oil Ltd. (Esso), which is one of Canada’s largest petroleum companies (by market capitalization).

“This is not a game for small players, This is a game for big players with a lot of money and a lot of expertise,” he said.

“This is a not a game for small players.

This is a game for big players with a lot of

money...

TSUNAMI from Page 4“There’s no end to the work

we can do together to increase the amount of information that gets out to the public about emergency preparedness. It’s impossible to understate the importance of getting word out to the public in a timely manner after or in the threat of an emergency,” he said.

Gurney said reliable information was relatively easy to come by, but the quantity of information was insufficient.

“The struggle was to track the potential tsunami wave from the epicentre of the earthquake to Prince Rupert. Because we lacked any first-hand observation of the wave itself, a lot of it was based on calculation and guess work,” he said.

“Those of us in the Emergency Operation Centre were hungry for any and all information about the event that occurred. More information would have definitely been helpful.”

Since the tsunami warning, city agencies and the port have been meeting and debriefing local emergency preparedness to ensure the community is prepared if another tsunami warning is put in place.

Cat lovers made a passionate plea to Prince Rupert city council on Nov. 13: Become part of the feral cat solution before the problem in the city gets any worse.

Alice Kruta of the Cannery Row Animal Shelter was joined by Kim St. Pierre in asking council to reconsider a request by Prince Rupert SPCA manager Anna Terebka to provide $7,500 for a trap, neuter, release program, but also asked council to allow the group to construct feeding stations at various points around town.

“Anna was right when she said that we are in crisis mode... If we don’t do something about this Prince Rupert will have cats that are like rats. Prince Rupert will be overrun with cats,” said Kruta, adding that diseases carried by the cats is a major concern.

“If we don’t do something to address the population, we’re going to have cats dying of disease. Kids will come across the dead cats and be curious, so

you will have kids handling dead bodies,” added St. Pierre.

Kruta said that the SPCA, the Prince Rupert Wildlife Shelter and the Cannery Row Shelter Association are united in their desire to have this addressed, and they feel the community as a whole is largely behind them.

“A lot of residents in Prince Rupert are digging deep into their pockets to help solve this problem,” said St. Pierre, who says she has spent thousand

of dollars of her own money spaying and neutering cats and helping them find new homes.

“I have elders saying they can’t pay their mortgage and that they went to the bank again because they can’t pay their mortgage but they also can’t let the cats they’re feeding starve... I have had so much support from people and from businesses. The only place the support hasn’t come from is from the governments, which is sad when you look at what other

districts are doing,” said Kruta, pointing to a $2.8 million animal shelter built earlier this year in Delta.

And while council will discuss the impassioned request at the next meeting, some councillors expressed concern about supporting it.

“We have social issues in this town, we’re losing money because we’re losing industry and there is not a lot of money left. We’re stretched thin... We don’t have the resources to do anything about this. That $7,500 may seem small, but it is still $7,500. That $7,500 is money that might not go to a group that is doing things for children in town, and I put children above cats at this point,” said councillor Gina Garon.

“I see inhumanity in trap, neuter, release. What I see with feral cats is starving cats, diseased cats, cats freezing and with feeding stations I imagine sanitation concerns... As much as I hate to say euthanizing, I hate to see cats suffering and with trap, neuter, release I see cats suffering,” added councillor Anna Ashley.

Your Retirement: Maximizing Income, Minimizing TaxesEveryone dreams about a relaxing, enjoyable retirement. However, in today’s economic climate, it is not always easy to find investments that can provide you with the income required for a comfortable worry-free retirement. This makes maximizing after-tax income, by minimizing the tax you owe, a critical part of your retirement planning process.

When planning for your retirement, there are a number of strategies that can help you both pre and post retirement. Taking advantage of tax-free or tax-deferred investments such as RRSPs and TFSAs, or spousal RRSPs for income splitting reasons, are some pre-retirement strategies that could be considered. Post retirement strategies include tax efficient investments, pension income splitting and effective structuring of retirement income streams.

To learn more about pre-retirement and post-retirement strategies, attendNorthern Savings Credit Union’s “Maximizing Income, Minimizing Taxes” seminar:

AAnd the people oBritish Columbia have told us that we must exceed safety standards if it is to cross this beautiful province. We’ve heard their concerns

and have continually incorporated their feedback into our plans. We have added $500 million in extra safety measures–like thicker pipe, more isolation valves, meticulous pipeline construction techniques, and plans for around the clock monitoring by real people,

in real time, with sophisticated technology.

We will have advanced monitoring and response systems...Constant, diligent monitoring is vital for safe pipeline operation. Northern

Gateway will be monitored on-site and via the control centre 24/7, in

real time to allow operators to rapidly respond to any incidents. As

well, extensive geotechnical investigation and route planning

has taken place and this, combined with sophisticated

monitoring techniques, will provide protection against

geotechnical and other natural hazards. Pump stations in

remote areas will be staffed around the

clock. Dual leak detection systems

will be installed and remotely

operated isolation valves will be used,

increasing their number in BC by 50%.

We will use thicker pipe...Northern Gateway pipe will have

an average thickness of 0.80 inches.

That’s 20% over and above current

Canadian safety standard requirements

for the Northern Gateway Project. The pipe

will be even thicker when it crosses major rivers and tributaries.

It will be welded with exacting precision and its integrity checked

using ultrasonic inspection and hydrostatic testing methods. And

to ensure safe operation, the frequency of high resolution, in-line

inspection surveys will be increased across the entire pipeline system

by a minimum of 50% over and above current practices.

We will practice and be prepared for incidents...Our goal is always zero spills. To help achieve that, the

pipeline will be monitored from the air and the ground and

routinely inspected inside and out to identify and address

any integrity issues. But that doesn’t mean we will not

prepare for an incident. We will adhere to world-leading

practices for oil spill response and recovery systems. Emergency response equipment

and training will be provided and constantly updated and upgraded. Training exercises

with our own operations personnel and local emergency providers will be conducted on a

regular basis. Can we guarantee that there will never be a signifi cant pipeline failure? Our

original pledge to build a safe pipeline combined with further enhancements made after

hearing the concerns of British Columbians puts us closer than any other pipeline system

in the world to providing that guarantee.

We will respect wildlife habitats and migration routes... To address concerns from the public that the construction of the pipeline will affect the

environment, we have pledged to build it in such a way that natural wildlife habitats,

migration routes and fi sh spawning sites will be respected. During the building phase,

disturbances will be kept to a minimum by having construction vehicles access most of

the pipeline using existing forestry roads. Instead of building all new bridge structures, it

will use existing watercourse crossings where possible. When construction is completed

on each section, soil will be returned and shrubs and grasses native to the region will be

planted. If any large trees are removed to make way for the pipeline, a new tree will be

planted in another location as part of Enbridge’s commitment to plant a tree for every

tree we remove to build our projects.

Northern Gateway will be one of the safest energy pipelines because it’s been designed by engineers, safety experts and the people of British Columbia.

It’s more than a pipeline. It’s a path to delivering energy safely.

The City of Prince Rupert should consider putting aside a pot of money to pay taxi drivers to provide public transportation for the handicapped.

The introduction of a Taxi Supplement program was one of the recommendations from BC Transit senior regional transit manager Todd Dupuis during a Nov. 13 presentation to city council, and it comes based on the fact that there is only one HandyDart vehicle in town to assist the disabled get to appointments or carry out necessary chores.

“It is a monthly stipend to the HandyDart operators where, if they can’t make the trip for any reason, they hire a taxi service because there isn’t a back-up vehicle. The taxi would go to the person’s door and pick them up as though it were a bus service... It is not common to have a HandyDart service without a second vehicle. Prince Rupert is unique in that there is no back-up,” said Dupuis, noting it is a much cheaper option to address the need in the community.

“A new bus is about $50,000 per year, whereas the Taxi Supplement could be $500 per month and not used every month.”

Other recommendations presented included reallocating service to make more trips to the new Transition Society building and to better accommodate students living in the Westview area, moving the bus stop from outside the Museum of Northern BC to the Chances entrance area and eliminating a portion of some routes like the Summit and Crestview routes.

In the long term, Dupuis said the City may want to look at extending service to Ridley Island and the BC Ferries terminal, but that those decisions would be up to council.

“If we were told by the City, ‘We want you to come up with a cost analysis to serve BC Ferries and VIA Rail’, then it would be something we would pursue because it is council that sets priorities,” he said.

“And as projects come on board, you could look at access to Ridley Island using public transit and look at it possibly in partnership with terminal operators... It would depend on the scale and pace of development.”

Representatives from the BG Group, which is looking to construct an LNG terminal on Ridley Island, came to council on Nov. 13 to provide some details on the project.

Acting BG Canada president Steve Swaffield, who was joined by community relations advisor Herb Pond and social performance coordinator Kathleen Williams, told council the terminal is still a long way from being a reality. Plans call for a final investment decision to come some time next year, with the environmental assessment to wrap up in 2014 and the feasibility and design phase to continue on through 2015.

“With a final decision not coming until mid-decade and with a four year construction window, we anticipate the first commercial LNG export to come in late 2019 or early 2020,” said Swaffield, noting that work is being done to address concerns raised by the board of directors.

“When we took the project to the board last time there were two concerns raised. The first was the ability to build the pipeline and the pipeline route. The second was the general operating environment in BC... We have done work and are taking back to the board

a partnership with Spectra Energy that we believe will help with the pipeline concerns and we have done work on the permitting with both the federal and provincial governments.”

Construction of the terminal, which would have two LNG processing lines, would require 6,000 workers at its peak. Once operational, Swaffield says there would be 400 to 600 jobs created.

“The work is ongoing, but we have calculated that 90 to 95 per cent of those operations jobs would be skilled

labour. Now we need to drill down and determine what trades those would be,” said Swaffield.

“A four year construction window should provide a lot of time for people to plan and get the training to fill those operating jobs that are coming,” added Pond.

Members of the BG Group took the project out to the public this week with an open house on Nov. 19 in Port Edward and on Nov. 20 in Prince Rupert. Look for more on the open houses this Friday in The Northern Connector.

The Enbridge Northern Gateway Joint Review Panel will be spending more than two months in Prince Rupert early next year as part of the final hearings on the project.

The panel released a revised hearing schedule on Nov. 15, outlining opportunities to provide oral statements on the proposed pipeline from Edmonton to Kitimat, with Prince Rupert being one of only four communities in BC to host the panel.

There will be three weeks of hearings in February, on the weeks of Feb. 3, Feb. 17 and Feb. 24. March will include two weeks of hearings, including the weeks March 10 and March 17. Hearings will resume on March 31, and will carry on through the weeks of April 7, April 21 and April 28, and a final week of hearings will be held the week of May 12.

The hearings are scheduled, with the exception of the week of March 31, to run from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Monday to Friday with four weeks including a Saturday morning hearing.

According to Annie Roy, communications manager for the Joint Review Panel, the schedule is based on the expressed need.

“The way it works is intervenors needed to provide us an estimate of how long they need to question the panel or the company... Based on that information the weeks needed to be extended in order to hear from everyone,” she said.

These dates are in addition to the hearings scheduled to begin in Prince Rupert on Dec. 10. Other 2013 hearings will take place in Victoria and Vancouver.

The panel expects to begin its deliberations in July and release its report on Dec. 29, 2013.

The board of education for Prince Rupert’s school district wants to spark more parent and community engagement in decisions they make.

Trustee Marty Bowles requested the board explore options to further interest, with staff preparing possible engagement methods such as holding the district’s necessary monthly board meetings in local schools and holding events where administrative

staff and the public could discuss local education. “We make decisions about schools and many of

us haven’t had a chance to visit them… [not every trustee] can get out to all the schools. This would give us an opportunity to,” Bowles said.

Bowles stated hosting an event in schools could give parents who wouldn’t usually be able to attend meetings a chance to, simply because of location. He also said it could draw more parents in because they would feel more comfortable.

“The change in atmosphere of going into their

[schools] will bring out a lot more interaction,” Bowles said.

Administrators were in favour of hosting evening events in schools to explore topics with staff, PAC members and parents, although it is too early to say whether these events would include the monthly board meeting or if they would simply be an event for administrative staff and the public. The board will be going to stakeholders to get more engagement strategies, with a report of the input gathered expected to be presented to the board in early 2013.

While the title The Salmon Recipes: Stories of Our Endangered North Coast Cuisine may convey a simple cook book, the book launched by the Prince Rupert Environment Society on Nov. 16 is much more than that.

Mixed in with the recipes over the 120 full-colour pages are the stories of people who live on the North Coast and the important role the environment plays in their life. All told there were 80 contributors from community like Kitkatla, Hartley Bay, Metlakatla, Haida Gwaii, Prince Rupert, Oona River who stepped forward with recipes, stories, poems and photographs to make the publication a reality.

The idea for the book came from the Enbridge Northern Gateway Hearings held in Prince Rupert earlier this year, and were sparked when Gerald Stewart stood up at the end of the sessions, banged his drum and asked, “So is this all?”

“At the Enbridge hearings there were so many good stories told. I thought, and a lot of people thought, that those stories needed to go further. People needed to hear these stories and it will affect them... To speak at the hearings people had to register 60 days in advance, so they spent a lot of time working on these stories and were happy to share them so more people could hear what is at stake,” said Luanne Roth, one of the book’s editors.

“The idea to be able to offer salmon recipes is something that people will want, and salmon

represent a real connection to the area. People around the world know of and eat pacific salmon.”

With a very limited budget, the photography, design and editing of the book were all done by volunteers. The result is something Roth said everyone should be very proud of.

“A lot of us have seen the Enbridge ads that have been running – This is going to be our ad, this is going to tell our story and we are here tonight to send it off,” she told a packed crowd at the Museum of Northern BC during the launch.

The Charles Hays Secondary senior boys volleyball team will be competing for the provincial championship after defeating the Smithers Secondary School Gryphons in the zone final on Nov. 17.

The Rainmakers started out strong, leading 15-10 midway through the first set as the team set-up spike after spike while displaying some solid defense, and went on to win the set 25-16.

In the second set, the Rainmakers dominated the early going, amassing a 15-5 lead early on. Down 18-7 shortly after a time out, the Gryphons players looked defeated on the court, which allowed Prince Rupert to carry forward the early momentum en-route to a 25-12 second set win.

But the Gryphons were resilient and were anything but out as they took an early lead in what proved to be a competitive start to the third. The two teams were actually tied at

seven in the early going, but Prince Rupert went on an 8-1 run as the Gryphons continued to falter on the court. The final nail in the Smithers coffin came when the team couldn’t return the serve, and the Rainmakers celebrated a 25-12 final set victory to take the game three sets to none.

The victory is more impressive when one considers that, of the nine players on the team, six are in grade 11 and playing senior volleyball for the first time.

“I met the grade 11 boys last year when they were playing junior boys and told them that if they committed to the program, and listened to Devin Palmer and I, they would put a senior boys zone banner up in gym. They played excellent volleyball and that is exactly what they did,” said coach Stefan Delloch.

“I am really proud of this group, especially with so many of the boys in grade 11.”

Garret Kobza was named the Most Valuable Player of the zones. The provincials will be held in Kelowna from Nov. 28 to Dec. 1.

The courts of the Russell Gamble Gymnasium will host four days of basketball action starting Nov. 21 as 16 teams compete in the All Native Qualifying Tournament.

Teams in two divisions will give it their all in hopes of making it to the 54th annual

All Native Tournament in February, with seven women’s teams and nine senior teams battling it out.

For the first time in over a decade the team from Hydaburg Alaska, who tied a tournament record with seven consecutive championships from 2001 to 2007, will have to earn their way into the tournament after missing the 2012 tournament and putting an end to a new

three-title streak the team was on. Other teams competing include Gitwinksihlkw, Kitamaat, Greenville, Terrace, Gitanyow, Kispiox, Gitsegukla and two teams from Lax Kw’alaams.

For the women, the team from Vancouver will receive a first-round bye. Joining them are teams from Bella Coola, Gitwinksihlkw, Hazelton, Ahousaht, Kitkatla and Skidegate.

As with the All Native in February, the qualifying tournament is a double-elimination format. The final game of the women’s qualifier will get underway at 6:30 p.m. on Nov. 24, with the final game for the seniors beginning at eight p.m.

Look for complete results from the Tournament in next week’s issue of the Prince Rupert Northern View.

The Prince Rupert Rampage traveled into the Bulkley Valley this weekend to face the Houston Luckies and the Smithers Steelheads, and returned to the north coast without a win.

On Saturday night the Rampage played the Luckies and opened the scoring on the powerplay as Derek Baker put one past Brock Henrickson just under eight minutes into the first, but Derek Dinelle added a powerplay goal for Houston with six minutes to play to tie things up at one. Less than two minute later though, Justin Fontaine found the back of the net to give Prince Rupert the 2-1 lead through the first 20 minutes.

The second period proved to be a very even one, with neither team scoring until Fontaine netted his second of the game with 1:09 left to give Prince Rupert a 3-1 lead heading into the final frame.

The third, though, was all Houston. Brett Mitchell pulled the Luckies to within one with 13:53 to play, and Dwayne Meints tied things up with 4:31 left in the game. While it looked like overtime might be needed, Jaden Janzen beat netminder Keano Wilson with 3:55 left to play to put Houston up 4-3, and that was how the game would end.

On Sunday the Rampage faced off against the Smithers Steelheads, a team that was undefeated last season and remains undefeated this year. The game was largely controlled by the Steelheads, who shut out the Rampage until Josh Kierce put Rupert on the board with 11:15 to play in the

third period. In the end it was a 6-1 Steelheads victory.

This weekend the Rampage return home for double header action. On Saturday night the team plays the Williams Lake Stampeders, and on Sunday afternoon the team will face off with the Quesnel Kangaroos. Look for full results from both games next week in the Prince Rupert Northern View.

With a bit of a chill beginning to fill the air, the thoughts of the Prince Rupert Special Events Society turn to Winterfest, which is less than 10 days away.

Thousands of lights have already been strung up on the trees outside the Court House for the kick-off to the three day celebration, the annual Festival of Lights. This year’s event, which once again features caroling, local musical acts and free refreshments, gets

underway at seven p.m. on Nov. 30.

Before that though, Cowpuccino’s is once again sponsoring an evening of Gingerbread Decorating with sessions at five or 5:45 p.m., and anyone wishing to participate is asked to pre-register. Throughout the day the Rupert Square Mall will host a children’s Christmas Tree Decorating Contest, and that night merchants will be staying open late for some pre-Christmas shopping.

The next morning Santa will be in

attendance at the pancake breakfast at the Mason’s Hall from eight a.m. to 11 a.m. Saint Nick will then join other floats for the Santa Claus Parade, which starts at 11 a.m. on Third Avenue West and makes its way to the Overwaitea parking lot. There’s lots of fun throughout Saturday afternoon with hot chocolate at Overwaitea, free skating at 12:30 p.m. and a free swim at two p.m., a free matinee at the Port Interpretive Centre at 2:30 p.m. and much more. The Winterfest Craft Fair runs from 10 a.m. to five p.m. in the Jim Ciccone Civic Centre auditorium, and the Art Fair is at the Museum from 10 a.m. to nine p.m.

On the Saturday evening, the Christmas Carol Sailpast will make the harbour come alive with the 31st annual parade of boats dressed out in spectacular fashion. There will be a gigantic bonfire, free refreshments, entertainment and a colourful fireworks display glistening on the harbour waters to put you in the festive spirit.

On Sunday, Dec. 2, the Rotary Choir will present Wintersong at three p.m. followed by The Other Side of Christmas at seven p.m. with the Ministerial Association at the Salvation Army.

The volunteers of the Prince Rupert Special Events Society organize this community event. Visit prspecialevents.com to view the Winterfest schedule.

Call today and I will get an ad working for you!

By Capt. Nancy SheilsSalvation Army

Kettle season is once again fast approaching and we will be enlisting the help of organizations in helping man the kettles around town.

We need your help to make this a successful year in helping supply the needs of many for Christmas and the year to come. All funds remain in Prince Rupert for the care of our citizens for food, clothing, shelter and encouragement in life skills. We will gladly display your organization on our kettles so that our community can get to

know you better. It only takes four people (but you

can have more) working two hour shifts to cover most days. You are welcome to enhance your kettle time with musical talent such as singing or playing of an instrument or something that is reflective of your organization. Kettle packages with dates and location can be picked up at the Thrift Store or Church or by contacting Cpt. Nancy Sheils.

This year we have two new components to our kettles. The first is you can donate by text. You have to make sure you have Rupert’s code so that the money you donate will reach us. It is on all our kettles

– Text HOPE1010 to 45678 to make a $5 donation. Second you can donate online at our virtual kettle at my.ikettle.ca/PrinceRupertCorps or create a kettle for you and your organization.

Our Kettle Kick Off is being held at the Festival of Lights Friday, Nov. 30.

Thank you once again, for the generosity of your hearts for others; your kindness never ceases to amaze us. God Bless and have yourself a Merry Christmas.

Prince Rupert - 527-3rd - 250-624-5231

It is often said that tourism is an “industry of industries.”

Many different types of businesses and organizations are needed to create a healthy tourism economy. This is true even of businesses that don’t have an obvious tourism role.

Tourism is divided into sectors. In a broad definition of tourism, there are eight identified sectors: accommodation, adventure tourism and recreation, attractions, events and conferences, food and beverage, tourism services, transportation, and travel trade. However, we use sectors a little less generally in describing local tourism. So in our case, wildlife watching, sport fishing, cruise ships, and so on, are seen to be sectors in addition to the broader industry sectors of museums / attractions, accommodation, or transportation.

In the local market these are often very distinct from one another in their needs, opportunities and challenges. While certain challenges such as changes to transportation systems might impact the whole local industry, there are very specific challenges facing individual segments of our market on any given tourism season.

More than anything, from the perspective of Tourism Prince Rupert, each of the sectors of our local industry have different audiences. Since it is our role to market Prince Rupert to all visitors, we have to split our limited resources in an attempt to benefit all sectors.

Of course there is much overlap. For

example, the vast majority of our cruise visitors are from the U.S. The most effective way that we have of reaching that huge market, with a small budget preventing broad advertising campaigns, is by seeking coverage in American media. It is within our means to work to attract travel writers, and a single feature in a large magazine, when compared to the cost of buying a comparable amount of advertising, can bring returns worth almost as much as our entire annual budget. And of course stories about Prince Rupert in the American media, available and popular throughout the western world, are of benefit to all sectors.

Of course the landscape is shifting now. Social media is a powerful new force that allows us to target even more specifically, for very little investment. For example, we traditionally reached our sport fishing audience, primarily based in northern BC and Alberta, through fishing magazines, and occasionally through local newspapers in communities identified by local operators as strong markets. Now, with the explosion of

social media, we are reaching a point where we can blend this with traditional advertising and more economically reach into specific markets.

Sometimes TPR feels pressure from businesses operating primarily in one or another of the sectors to market to their audiences to the exclusion of others, but of course this would be counter-productive to the needs of the community. Our duty, in marketing the community, is to always remember the big picture. Our role is to bring visitors to the community, and we have to make sure that those visitors benefit all sectors.

The truth is that in a town like Prince Rupert, we’re all in the tourism industry. Tourism is one of the things that sustains the businesses we rely upon in Prince Rupert – even non-traditional tourism businesses, furniture stores, bakeries and what-have-you, are sustained in part by tourism revenue circulating in the community. No single sector within the tourism industry can be singled out – we must keep it all healthy, and growing, for the long-term health of the community.

Hundreds of people came out through-out the day to take in the Prince Rupert Commu-nity Arts Council’s 37th Annual Kaien Island Crafts Fair on Nov. 17, with the Russell Gam-ble Gymnasium packed with tables and displays. From knitting and wood-work to soap and baking and every-thing in between; there was some-thing for everyone at the fair.
