BY SHAUN THOMAS PORT EDWARD / The Northern View

The City of Prince Rupert will be hosting a public information session tonight at the Lester Centre to ensure people know as much about the proposed $7 million loan to the Prince Rupert Airport Authority as possible.

“Really, the idea of having this open house is so it creates more awareness. It’s not so much a formal meeting as an opportunity for people to come and look at and get an overview for the reason for the bylaw and the procedure for the bylaw. It’s an opportunity for people to get more of an understanding of how a city finances various opportunities, whether through city revenues or loans, and what the procedure is,” said

Prince Rupert Mayor Jack Mussallem, noting there is benefit to be had if the money comes from a city loan.

“All municipalities have the opportunity, through the regional district, to borrow through Municipal Finance Authority (MFA) for needed infrastructure ... the reason why it is a consideration is MFA can provide funding at less

cost to local governments and at better rates than from other financial institutions.”

The meeting comes while the loan is still up for public debate in an alternate approval process — meaning if just over 900 people sign forms against the infrastructure loan it will need to go to referendum. The money will be used to not only undertake major renovations to the terminal, but to repair the runway and access road as well.

“In this case, the issue is supporting local airport, and there is no cost to taxpayer because funded by airport users, so taxpayers is not impacted,” Mussallem explained, noting there should be a variety of people there to answer questions people may have.

“I am confident staff will have the information on hand.”

Just days before a CN train carrying oil derailed in Alberta, causing a fiery explosion and forcing the evacuation of a small community west of Edmonton, Minister of Natural Gas Development Rich Coleman said he was not a fan of the idea of shipping oil-by-rail

Earlier in the week, the provincial g o v e r n m e n t s of both British Columbia and Alberta agree that moving bitumen by rail to the west coast is a “viable alternative” to pipelines. Support for the oil-by-rail option can be found in the terms of reference of a Deputy Ministers working group aimed at opening new energy export opportunities, which simply states “if pipelines are not developed, rail will step into the void to deliver bitumen to the West Coast”.

But speaking from an energy conference in Daegu, South Korea, Coleman acknowledged oil-by-rail is certainly not the preferred method of the provincial government.

“It makes us nervous and it makes our communities nervous ... we are not interested in seeing millions of barrels of oil moved by rail across British Columbia without being assured absolutely in the safety of the land base,” he said, noting he has told the federal government the same.

“Rail didn’t come up in our conversation, other than to say that I had the concern that rail would be the wrong solution to this ... obviously the optimal suggestion of moving oil by rail isn’t there given the situation that happened in Quebec a few months ago, which was a terrible disaster for that community.”

While noting no CN customers are asking CN to transport crude at the moment, despite documents showing Nexen pursuing a plan to ship oil-by-rail to Prince Rupert for export to Asia, CN’s Mark Hallman said rail is a safe option should the need arise.

“Railways have a solid record in transporting hazardous material traffic. According to the Association of American Railroads (AAR), of which CN is a member, 99.997 per cent of hazardous materials carloads moved by railroads arrive at their destination

without a release caused by an accident,” he said.

“Railways complement the existing pipeline infrastructure and they are just as safe and as environmentally sustainable as pipelines in moving energy to market.”

Coleman told reporters that the inclusion of rail in the terms of reference was in recognition of keeping all options on the table to get Alberta energy to Asian markets in light of the capacity of the line.

“The rail to Prince Rupert is at about 30 per cent capacity. We’re told there is some work that had been done by some of the suppliers on that. In putting the terms of reference together, we said we better take a look at all of it,” he said.

“That just basically flags the fact that we’re going to take a look at all of these things, their environmental impact and the concerns of British Columbia, and Alberta quite frankly, as we come through this.”

The Prince Rupert Port Authority has confirmed ongoing discussions with Nexen about oil-by-rail to Prince Rupert. Other details on the proposal were not available.

“Railways have a solid record in transporting hazardous goods.”

By Martina Perry PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

Prince Rupert and Port Edward are searching for a new economic development officer.

Derek Baker, who currently holds the role at the Prince Rupert and Port Edward Economic Development Corporation, will be stepping down after more than three years.

“Prince Rupert is a really great place to be an economic development officer. It’s a town with a lot of economic opportunities in front of it. It was interesting to be a part of some of that growth,” Baker said.

“It was a really tough decision to leave. But I decided to take on a position within the private sector,” he said, adding his final day will be Oct. 31 and he will be starting at Pacific NorthWest LNG on Nov. 4.

Staying in the area was important, said Baker.

“I like [Prince Rupert and Port Edward] a lot, and the lifestyle the North Coast offers,” he said.

Baker became economic development officer in June 2010, helping to promote business and tourism in Prince Rupert and Port Edward, and support business development and expansion.

While Baker has helped the city with a variety of tasks, he pinpoints

two projects as highlights, the first being the 2011 trade mission to China.

Baker, a number of city councillors and representatives from the Prince Rupert and District Chamber of Commerce, the Prince Rupert Port Authority and Ridley Terminals Inc., spent 10 days overseas for the trade mission.

“[We met] with our sister city Cangzhou, and we also met various companies in Beijing and Shanghai that were interested in our port facilities,” he said.

Baker said another highlight was helping to launch the Invest Northwest website with other northwest economic development officers. The website outlines major projects happening the region.

“It’s been a very well-utilized

website since we launched it a couple years ago,” Baker said.

Prince Rupert Mayor Jack Mussallem said he appreciates the work Baker has done.

“He has provided excellent service and we wish him all the best in the future,” he said.

The city is now looking for a replacement.

“We’re getting a lot of enquiries. It helps if we can get someone as soon as possible,” Mussallem said.

Baker said when a new economic development officer is hired, he will be more than willing to help them get comfortable in the role.

“Whoever the new person is, I’m going to have an open door with them. They can utilize me as much as they like,” he said.

Million dollar renovation underway

Vector Projects Group has begun work to renovate the Computed Tomography (CT) scan suite at the Prince Rupert Regional Hospital.

The total project cost is expected to be approximately $1 million and funded by the Province of B.C., North West Regional Hospital District and Northern Health. It is expected the project will be completed in spring 2014.

Vector Projects Group, based out of Kelowna, B.C., is a medium-sized general contracting firm with considerable experience building in northern and rural locations. In August, they completed the Temporary Medical Clinic project in Queen Charlotte as part of the Haida Gwaii Hospital Replacement Project.

CT scans in Prince Rupert are currently available at a temporary location in the basement of the hospital. The temporary CT suite will continue providing services in a safe, high quality environment during the renovations. After the renovations are completed the CT scanner will be relocated back to its original, permanent location in the Prince Rupert Regional Hospital

CT scanning is useful to get a very detailed 3-D image of certain parts of the body, such as soft tissues, the pelvis, blood vessels, the lungs, the brain, abdomen, and bones.

One thing you will always hear in the debate about oil export is “the oil is coming to the coast, one way or

another”. That quote and any variation of it is often

spoken in relation to the anti-pipeline movement, essentially saying that if bitumen isn’t flowing to the North Coast through underground pipelines, it will be making its way west through rail cars

filled to the brim with the black stuff.

And while it may have been easy to dismiss such a claim in the past, that argument was given a lot more credence last week as the governments of both British Columbia and Alberta agreed that “if pipelines are not developed, rail will step into the void to deliver bitumen to the West Coast”.

Natural Gas Development minister Rich Coleman said the inclusion of that little gem was simply a recognition that all of the options need to be on the table. But that doesn’t seem to really hold water — if it was there just to recognize rail was an option, it would likely read “rail may step into the void”.

It doesn’t, it flat out says rail will fill the void to bring bitumen west.

Some may say that is simply a matter of semantics, but when you get into this level of discussion between two governments, you best believe that every single word is chosen carefully and every single word has meaning.

So here we sit, with one major oil pipeline and one refinery definitively on the table, a second refinery in the feasibility stage and a mystery proposal from Nexen to bring oil to Prince Rupert by rail for shipment to Asia.

So those who have said oil is coming to the coast one way or another should be vindicated with obvious support from the provinces of British Columbia and Alberta and apparent support from the federal government. But having the support of the government and having the support of the people are two different things.

Given the tone in the region when it comes to oil, the companies involved have a lot of work to do to win that support.

Oil one way or another?

The look on her face was priceless.Newspaper Carrier Appreciation Week

was held earlier this month and I, along with the entire office and mailroom staff of The Northern View, hit the street and walked a mile or two in our carriers’ shoes.

Since the beginning of October, I’ve picked up a couple of routes for three main reasons: 1) Get the newspaper delivered where we currently don’t have a carrier; 2) To audit some routes to see how we can improve our service and; 3) Get some exercise — the scale in the bathroom tells me the third reason is critical.

A couple of weeks ago, I was finishing up my 135-paper route on Alberta Place and, despite my need to satisfy No. 3, all I could smell was the wafting scent of nearby McDonald’s french fries — my pace quickened.

That 135-paper route normally takes me a little less than an hour, if I remember to walk downhill from Drake Crescent to Heron along Prince Rupert Boulevard culminating with the circle on Alberta Place. As my taste buds watered for a well-deserved break today, I made the turn up Alberta Place in record time.

As I walked up a driveway on the cul-de-sac, I saw some Canada Post junk mail lying on the ground. I picked it up and walked to the mailbox and deposited the newspaper.

As I left, I heard the door open behind me and a lady exited calling out to me.

“Excuse me, young man,” she shouted.When I turned around, the lady’s jaw dropped,

I suppose I wasn’t the spring chicken she expected to see. The look on her face was indeed priceless. In the palm of her hand she clutched a twoonie and handed it to me.

“Thanks for picking that up,” she said referring to the mail left on her driveway. “That was nice of you.”

“No problem,” I said and took the twoonie unabashedly thinking of the coming french fries.

As I adjusted the strap on my bag and walked down the driveway to my next stop, the thought occurred: How many people in Prince Rupert tip their carrier?

People have no problem tipping a waiter or a pizza delivery guy and then hand over more cash for the product.

Northern View and Northern Connector carriers provide a free product, yet it seems few get a tip for good service. Come down to the office on a Thursday morning and listen to some phone calls if a carrier misses a house. Folks are sure quick to provide some tips then.

Tips are not required but they are certainly appreciated, let’s face it, no waiter or carrier is going to get rich on their base pay.

As I proved, our carrier force is not all young kids, most are adults including a number of special needs persons who rank among our most dependable and best carriers.

I thank them for their service. Hopefully, others will as well.

Letters to the editor Port helps meet Asia’s need for coal and cokeAnyone familiar

with the commod-ities handled by

the Port of Prince Rupert will know that energy products moving through Ridley Terminals are an important part of our trade gateway.

Last year, coal and petroleum coke accounted for 11.5 of the 22.2 million tonnes shipped through all of Prince Rupert’s terminals. That’s more than half of the port’s total volume, and accounts for roughly 20% of Canada’s total seaborne coal exports. With these products likely to make up an even larger percentage of the Port of Prince Rupert’s total business in coming years, it’s important to understand why they are in such high demand—and the opportunities they present.

Coal and petroleum coke are valued worldwide for their energy content, particularly for use in steel-making. In Asia, they’re building housing for hundreds of millions of people seeking to improve their quality of life. Global demand and consumption are forecast by the International Energy Agency to increase by 35% in the next 20 years, with China dominating worldwide production and consumption.

In 2012, China both produced and consumed more coal than all other countries combined, and accounted for over one-quarter of the Port of Prince Rupert’s total coal exports.

Despite China’s voracious appetite, the primary recipient of coal and coke from Prince Rupert is Japan, and has been for the past five years. Due to the absence of domestic production, the Japanese lead the world in coal imports.

The majority (60%) of energy exported by the Port of Prince Rupert is metallurgical coal, also known as coking coal. This type of coal has low sulphur and phosphorous contents, and is baked in special high-temperature ovens to make a product known as coke. This resulting coke is essentially pure carbon, and is used to smelt iron ore in blast furnaces as both a source of heat and a chemical reducing agent in producing steel.

Unlike coking coal, thermal coal has lower carbon content and is typically used to produce electricity in power plants. This is done by burning the coal in a furnace with a boiler to produce steam, which spins turbines and turns generators to produce electricity. Thermal coal is used to produce over 40% of the world’s electricity, particularly in developing nations seeking affordable access to a modern energy grid.

Our third and least exported energy product is petroleum coke. A by-product of oil refinery coker units, petroleum coke is comprised almost entirely of carbon, and is used in much the same way as metallurgical coal.

Despite weaker prices for the commodity in 2013, all of Canada’s west coast coal export terminals expect to ship record volumes this year. In the first six months of 2013, Prince Rupert’s Ridley Terminals Inc. shipped 7.1 million tonnes, up 6% from the same period in 2012. Work continues to progress on RTI’s $200 million Capacity Realization Project, a terminal expansion that is already incorporating new land equipment to create the ability for the terminal to handle up to 25 million tonnes by 2015. With new mines coming online and expansion projects underway at mines in several British Columbia and Alberta communities, RTI will be well-positioned to respond to demand with its additional capacity as it becomes available.

Opinion

Debating dog bylaw a wasteEditor:My teeth almost started falling out of my

mouth when I read the saccharine [column] regarding the four dogs owned by the Spongs.

While there are times when governing entities need to consider mitigating circumstances when applying a regulation, the situation of someone’s desire to have four dogs as opposed to three dogs is not one of those situations.

Our region is on the brink of undergoing massive changes. City council, city staff, and the Northern View folks have far more important issues which need to be explored, analyzed, discussed, and hopefully resolved.

Suggesting that council and staff should

devote time to this dog issue is not a good use of their time nor, I believe, of newsprint.

Hamilton right on sirensEditor: Re: Warnings useless if nobody hears it, Todd

Hamilton, Northern View.I couldn’t agree with you more about your

opinion on air raid sirens. Hawaii has been using them for decades

and their newer models mix in intermittent voice instructions with the warning sounds. It can be heard anywhere on the islands and they test it once a month. If the people there are OK with it, I can’t imagine why not the Pacific Northwest.

Being an integrator of all kinds of mass notification technologies including every type you mention in your article, I know that public works out of CFB Esquimalt was proactively gathering information from folks like me last October.

Unfortunately, after providing our two cents

the line went dead. I suspect budget and I hope a majority of people see it the way you do. I know I try to get at least six hours of shuteye every night, without my phone, tablet and TV on and I only have to worry about floods and tornadoes here!

Hydro needs a wake-up callEditor:Just recently I watched the news and they had

on a short piece about BC Hydro.We supposedly are co-owners of BC Hydro

now and we get to pay the Americans $280 million dollars for supplying them with power.

This is getting really crazy and awfully expensive. Just a short while ago, BC Hydro had a piece in the paper saying that anybody not accepting their smart meter now will have to pay extra.

I’m a disabled person with more steel in

my legs than most trucks, so my decision to not have the smart meter is for health reasons.

Seems to me that our wellness is not a priority. They want more money from us, the people of B.C., so they can sell more of our power to the Americans for less money than we pay.

Looks to me like our politicians need to wake up and smell the coffee.

Certainly we need change.Willy Cure

BY MARTINA PERRY PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

Cargo moving into or out of the port of Prince Rupert could grind to a halt later this month as talks between CN Rail and the Teamsters Canada Rail Conference broke down last week.

A total 3,300 c o n d u c t o r s , trainmen, yardmen and traffic c o o r d i n a t o r s working for CN have been working without a contract since July 22. But when CN management turned down the union’s offer to continue conciliation past Oct. 7, the two sides entered a 21-day

cooling-off period that ends on Oct. 28 after which a lockout or strike is a possibility.

The union says CN is asking for concessions which would require people to work longer hours with less rest time between trips, something it says flies in the face of CN’s commitment to safety.

“We’re extremely disappointed by CN’s refusal to extend the mediation period. The railway uses an old tactic: pointing a gun to its workers’ heads to force them to make concessions,” said TCRC spokesperson Roland Hackl, noting wages and the retirement plan are not the central issue for the union.

“CN’s managers have to walk the walk and talk the talk; they have to understand that people are not

machines and that you should never place profits before people.”

Talks between the two sides are set to resume on Oct. 21, with the aid of federally appointed mediators. Mark Hallman of CN says the company is optimistic the two sides can reach an agreement, but refutes the union’s claims that anyone is being put at risk.

“As matter of policy, CN does not comment on the substance of on-going labour negotiations. However, CN stresses that none of its bargaining proposals would in any way compromise the health and safety of TCRC-

CTY members,” he said. “Indeed, it is our opinion that CN’s proposals would

positively affect the health and safety of our employees.” Prince Rupert Port Authority manager of corporate

communications Michael Gurney said the port is keeping a keen eye on the developments.

“A rail service disruption would obviously have an impact on port operations, so we hope for an expeditious and mutually satisfactory resolution to the negotiations,” he said.

Feeding the hungry

Timing key for Cullen’s bid

By Shaun ThomaSPRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

The longer the provincial NDP delay the upcoming leadership race, the more likely Skeena – Bulkley Valley MP Nathan Cullen is to throw his hat in the ring.

In fact, Cullen said timing may be the biggest factor in his eventual decision.

“With work doing at the federal level, dropping everything is just not an option ... I’m House Leader of the Official Opposition, I have a lot of campaigns that I’m doing in the region, like the LNG tour, and my responsibility is to the people I work for. It is also a lot to ask my family to drop everything and get into another campaign,” he said.

“That has become an important thing for me and my family.”

But just as much as the timing affects him personally, Cullen said a delay in holding the leadership race would show the party is serious about its future.

“From the party’s perspective, you need time to really get the renewal people have been talking about, and there have been a lot of people talking to me about it. Holding the leadership race soon is also going to limit the number of candidates, and you want to have a wide field of people involved,” he said.

“If you hit the panic button and try to get things done in a rush, you won’t get that renewal.”

Earlier this month, Cullen went around to communities in the riding to discuss a possible run at the provincial leadership and said the response was split.

Surge shuts down hospital equipmentBy Shaun ThomaS PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

A power surge over the weekend wreaked havoc on the Prince Rupert Regional Hospital, with people being asked to stay away and surgeries being cancelled during the early part

of the week. People were asked to avoid using

the hospital while staff repaired and tested equipment and facilities affected by the Saturday night outage. Residents were asked to only attend the emergency department if their situation is urgent. Elective

surgeries were all postponed, though emergency surgery procedures were still available as needed.

Access to the upper levels of the hospital was by stairs only as maintenance crews worked to repair the elevator.

CityWest awaiting word on channel bundling


CityWest is taking a wait-and-see approach to a commitment made by the federal government in Wednesday’s Throne Speech.

“Our Government believes Canadian families should be able to choose the combination of television channels they want. It will require channels to be unbundled, while protecting Canadian jobs,” Gov. Gen. David Johnston said while reading the speech from the Senate chambers .

Currently CityWest’s digital offerings come largely in packs and bundles, although how that will change is yet to be seen.

“We certainly support the government’s intention to allow customers to choose which channels they want and pay for just those, but it will be interesting to see how content providers respond to this,” CityWest sales and marketing director Donovan Dias said, noting details thus far are quite scarce.

“It is just a comment from the federal government at this point, so it will be interesting to see how the [Canadian Radio-television Telecommunications Commission] interprets it because they have certain rules and regulations in place.”

Dias called the plans a good first step to get

people thinking about how cable and satellite channels are offered, but said the “à la carte” model was something that was already on the company’s radar.

“We were beginning to lean toward the à la carte model for our channels, though probably not to the same extent as the government envisions,” he said.

“If you look at our offerings, there are currently about 12 channels that people can pick and choose from individually. One of the issues is a lot of the others are bundled in theme or team packs, and those will have to be examined.”

Reaction to the announcement by the government has been mixed, with some praising the new freedom for consumers and others saying the unbundling of channels will lead to higher television bills. Other industry experts have questioned whether or not U.S. content providers will go along with the plan as it may set a precedent for U.S. companies.

Throne speech promises change

“It will be interesting to see how content providers

respond to this.”

A&W aiming for late 2014By Shaun ThomaSPRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

A&W restaurants continues its pursuit of a location in Prince Rupert, though the timeline has been pushed back significantly.

The fast food outlet first announced its plans to locate on the North Coast last March and was hopeful for an opening in early 2013, but issues with finding a site means people will have to wait at least another 12 months.

While there were rumours the former Husky location on 2nd Ave. West would be the new A&W, a senior official with the company said that is not the case.

“I can tell you that we haven’t finalized a location yet, but I can say that we have a franchisee who is actively pursuing a site,” said Patti Parente, senior director of real estate for A&W.

“We would have liked to have it completed yesterday, but realistically I think it will be in late 2014 or early 2015 before we open the doors.”

The original plans for the location were in the upper parking lot of the Rupert Square Mall, but issues surrounding the creation of a drive-thru meant a new location had to be found.

Mauve Friday is Coming.


A one-stop shop for business development on the North Coast is now open.

The Coastal Business Resource Centre (CBRC), located in the old TriCorp building on 2nd Avenue West, was packed on Oct. 17 for an open house to introduce both the facility and the many businesses that call it home.

“We only have one office left to rent to someone. There are 12 offices, but some tenants are sharing space so there are actually 23 companies renting space here,” said Geoff Greenwell of Greenwell Asset Management, the managers of the building, noting not everyone was able to be a part of the CBRC.

“We tried to bring in companies that are complimentary to each other and have the skill set that will be necessary in the near future as more projects are announced.”

In addition to the offices, the CBRC includes two large board rooms that can be rented by the hour to visiting and local businesses, something Greenwell said has been very popular so far. Another feature that makes the CBRC unique is that the utilities and phone/Internet are included in the price of the rent.

“There is not another packaged office space in town ... I knew it would be needed. There is not a lot of quality office space in Prince Rupert, There is some older spaces that need renovating, but a lot of larger companies don’t want that. They want a Vancouver-style office that is turn-key,” said Greenwell.

“There will be a huge demand for this as other projects come online.”

While the current building is nearing capacity, Greenwell said there could be further expansion in Prince Rupert as demand dictates.

“We are looking at other properties in town to see what could be done,” he said.

A listing and profile of businesses is available online at thecbrc.ca.

BY CAMERON ORRKITIMAT / Black Press

David Black hopes to submit an environmental review for his proposed Kitimat Clean refinery this fall.

His plans continue to move ahead as other players in B.C. and Alberta have their eyes on refineries of their own. In the Prince Rupert area, Eagle Spirit Energy presented a proposal to the Lax Kw’alaams community about their idea for an oil refinery at an area called Grassy Point.

For Black, the idea of competition on the North Coast doesn’t sway him, and he remains solid in his belief that Kitimat is the right place for him.

“It might work,” said Black. “I don’t see a big advantage over

the Kitimat site. You need a lot of land to put in a refinery. There’s a big advantage to have railway, hydro, highway and all the infrastructure there. We have that in the Kitimat Valley. It’s not yet in that Grassy Point area.”

That said, he did admit that tankers leaving the Grassy Point area would have the marine advantage, given Kitimat’s distinction as an “in-land” coast.

But even if that proposal sees light, Black doesn’t see it changing his plans. He said that the capacity for his refinery could be doubled and it would still see demand, so a second refinery near Lax Kw’alaams would just fill further need that Kitimat Clean couldn’t fill.

Black’s proposed refinery would process 550,000 barrels per day of diluted bitumen from Alberta.

Meanwhile he plans to submit for an environmental review of the refinery to the government this fall, now that he’s settled on a Fischer-Tropsch technology for the refinery versus his initial plan to use cokers.

He said using Fischer-Tropsch will actually reduce the emissions of the refinery by half, from seven million tonnes of emissions to three million.

And there are other efficiencies to be had with that technology.

“The process is exothermic, it actually generates the power and the water we need to run the refinery as well,” he said.

“We’ve been having conversations with engineering firms now, talking about the next steps in preliminary design ... I think we’ve got it nailed down pretty well so we hope to proceed with the environmental application this fall now that we know which way we’re going to go.”

He said the company is in the midst of putting together a feasibility study on the plan. Discussions with First Nations communities have been a priority over the past month or so, Black said, and he’s been happy with the reception so far as no one outright turned him away.

“We’ve had a nice reception from

the chiefs,” said Black. “We’ve had civil discourse. Lots

more talking to do ... no one is saying ‘I don’t want to talk to you anymore, I’ve made up my mind.’ Everyone is saying we need more information here. I’m saying modern day pipelines are safe and, of course, we have to gather the evidence to show that.”

Black has suggested in the past the refinery would directly employ 1,500 people full-time, and another 1,500 would be hired on contract jobs. 6,000 workers would be needed over five years for construction, although Black said he’s about three years away from putting shovels in the ground to build it.

In addition to being the president of Kitimat Clean, Black is the chairman of the Black Press Group, which owns the Northern View.

The Northern View archivesKitimat Clean Ltd. president David Black hopes to fi le the environmental assessment for an oil refi nery later this year.

Refinery review coming soon“I think we’ve

Rampage power past River Kings

Rupert swim club haul in 18 golds

BY SHAUN THOMASPRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

The Prince Rupert Rampage snapped a two-game losing streak on Saturday night, picking up their first win of the 2013/2014 Central Interior Hockey League season in Terrace.

The Rampage were unable to find the back of the net in the first, but special teams were able to capitalize in the second as Jared Davis scored on the powerplay.

In the third, it was the penalty kill that turned up the offence with captain Jared Meers scoring a shorthanded goal. The two teams were tied as time was winding down, but Craig Munro was able to net the game winner to give the Rampage two much-needed points.

“It was a big two points, especially against a division rival like the River Kings,” said assistant captain Derek Baker.

“We have had good luck in that arena in the past, and it is good to see that continue.”

Next up for the team is a trip to Houston this weekend for back-to-back games against the Luckies, a team that has shown they are capable of competing with anyone on the ice.

“It is always tough to say what Houston will look like on any given weekend. When everyone shows up, they have a strong team and they have proven that by taking Smithers to overtime early in the season and shutting out the Kitimat Ice Demons in their last game,” said Baker.

“I expect some hard play and hopefully four points coming out of the weekend.”

AROUND THE LEAGUE

The Houston Luckies followed up Saturday’s 4-0 win over the Demons with a commanding 10-3 win over the Lac La Hache Tomahawks.

It took some extra time, but the Quesnel Kangaroos defeated the Williams Lake Stampeders 5-4 in overtime.

The Smithers Steelheads continued their undefeated season, handing the Lac La Hache Tomahawks a 9-5 loss in Smithers on Saturday night. The next day, the Steelheads defeated the Demons 4-3.

Leightons lead Rapids

at Invitational

BY TODD HAMILTON PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

The Prince Rupert Rapids were golden 18 times at the North Coast Invitational Swim Meet at the Earl Mah Aquatic Centre last weekend.

Leading the Rapids was the duo of Kai and Amy Leighton who captured the top step of the podium twice along with Rayne Mather, who also twice captured gold.

Amy Leighton, 12, reached the wall first in both the 100-metre breaststroke and the butterfly. In the 100-metre breaststroke, Leighton blew away the field finishing more than 12 seconds ahead of Prince George’s Sydney Casey in a time of 1:25.37. Amy was equally dominant in the 100-metre butterfly finishing in 1:19.64, a full 12 seconds ahead of the field.

Kai Leighton, 10, also captured a pair of gold medals winning both the 50-metre freestyle and backstroke. Kai posted a 42:47 in the backstroke, more than four seconds ahead of the field. He added his second gold with a time of 33.80, more than eight seconds ahead of a Rapids-dominant division.

Rapids young swimmers continued the medal haul with Rayne Mathers also picking up a pair of golds. Mathers posted a time of 1:54.35 in the 100-metre freestyle event edging teammate Payton Colussi by just more than a second. Mather’s second gold came in the 50-metre freestyle, stopping the clock in 40.72.

Brandan Hagen, 16, took gold in the boys100-metre breaststroke; Emma Movold, 10, picked up gold in the girls 50-metre backstroke; Quinn Basso, 16, was first in the boys 50-metre backstroke; Kyla Leland-Barnaby, 11, earned first in the girls 100-metre freestyle; Morgan Weir, 16, was first in girls 100-metre freestyle; Nash de la Nuez, 9, took gold in boys 100-metre freestyle; Graham Nicholls, 11, was good for gold in boys 100-metre freestyle; Trey Kish, 13, captured the top step of the podium with a win in boys 200-metre backstroke; Sarah McChesney, 17, was tops in the 15-19 girls 50-metre freestyle; Zachary Dolan, 12, won gold in the boys 50-metre freestyle; Robert Warren, 13, took top spot in the 50-metre freestyle and Cyrus Sobredo, 16, rounded out the Rapids gold medal haul with a victory in boys 50-metre freestyle.

Rainmakers second at zonesBY SHAUN THOMASPRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

The Charles Hays Secondary School Rainmakers hosted two of their northwest counterparts on Saturday for the Senior Boys Soccer Zone competition.

Under the rules of the tournament, each team played each team and the winner was decided by wins or, in the event of a tie, goals for and against as provincial regulations only allow two games per day. The boys started their first game against Smithers Secondary School at nine a.m. and, after a lot of back and forth action, came away with a 1-0 win.

“It was really good game by both teams, but we got a goal with only a few minutes left to play that gave use the win,” explained Peter Riley, who was on the sidelines with the team.

After only a short break, the Rainmakers again took to the field for their second consecutive game. Although the score showed a one-sided 4-0 win for Terrace, Riley said the score didn’t reflect the play.

“It was a close game up until that first goal. When Terrace scored the first one, you could see the players got a little disheartened and frustrated and Terrace was able to capitalize,” he said.

Mathematically eliminated from winning the championship, Prince Rupert could only watch as Terrace faced Smithers in the third and final game of zones. The two teams played to a 1-1 tie, giving Terrace the overall victory with one win and one tie. Prince Rupert placed second with one win and one loss, and Smithers finished in third with one tie and one loss.

Walters to join B.C. Golf Hall of Fame


One of Prince Rupert’s finest will take her place among the best in B.C. as Lisa Walters will be inducted into the B.C. Golf Hall of Fame on Friday night.

Walters, who grew up in Prince Rupert, won three consecutive B.C. Amateur Titles in 1979, 1980 and 1981 before joining the LPGA tour in 1983.

After nine years of struggling for her first professional win, Walters won the Itoki Hawaiian Open in February 1992, and successfully defended her title in 1993. Lisa took home her third LPGA championship in 1998 when she won the Oldsmobile Classic.

After five knee operations, Walters retired and even today cannot play the game she loves due to injury.

Carrier Of The Month

PRINCE RUPERT

By Martina Perry PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

Everyone can contribute if given the chance.

Prince Rupert’s Bijoy Paul, a developmentally disabled man in his mid-20s, is a shining example of that.

Paul is a client of Thompson Community Services and is in the service provider’s employment program. The program aims to match disabled individuals with job or volunteering opportunities, with help from a number of job coaches.

Thompson Community Services’ Val Wholmes, who leads the employment program, said the aim is to change employers perspectives on hiring people with disabilities.

“If [employers] would give people with disabilities a chance they would find out how consistent, reliable and dependable they are. They could be an outstanding employee to have in a place of business, given the chance,” Wholmes said.

“We’re on a mission to get jobs for people with disabilities. Even if it’s an hour a day, or week, it means something to them. They want real work for real pay, just like everyone else.”

Paul has been looking for a job for some time, and took on volunteering at the Salvation Army Food Bank in June. Each Tuesday and Thursday Paul volunteers for an hour, working along

with his job coach Wholmes, and said he enjoys his time at the food bank. Each week Paul helps stock shelves, recycle cardboard and assist with whatever else is needed.

Erica Collison, family services at the Salvation Army Food Bank, works with Paul and said he is very committed.

“He’s always on time and here every Tuesday and Thursday for the whole duration. He’s a good team player,” she said, adding she would recommend other groups and businesses hire developmentally disabled individuals.

Sgt. Maj. Ken Copping, who’s in charge of the food bank, said he’s grateful to have a hard working volunteer like Paul on hand.

“There’s many people that feel they

have nothing to do or cannot contribute, or are unemployed and think there’s no hope. This young man comes in and has a sense of direction,” Copping said.

“For those who can’t find work, there’s opportunities to volunteer, to have routine in life. Hopefully you acquire some skills or learn new ones when you volunteer,” he said.

Wholmes agrees that volunteering allows people to gain the necessary skills to help get employment in the future. Her hope is that the skills Paul is learning at the food bank could help him land a job at a grocery store in the future.

“He’s been doing awesome, and does a great job. He looks forward to volunteering each week,” she said.

Martina Perry / The Northern ViewBijoy Paul volunteers at the Salvation Army Food Bank twice a week, with staff calling him a dedicated and hard worker.

Hallowe’en Fest needs volunteers

BY MARTINA PERRY PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

Organizers of the annual Hallowe’en Fest are calling out for volunteers.

“Hallowe’en Fest is a community event ... it’s a fun night where people can let the inner child come out,” said Bev Killbery, who is part of the Hallowe’en Fest Committee.

The annual celebration has been taking place for more than 25 years, giving children and families something safe to do on Halloween that’s sheltered from Prince Rupert’s fall weather.

The committee is hoping to get a good group of volunteers to help with set-up the day before the celebration between 7 p.m. and 9 p.m. Volunteers will be helping with tasks such as decorating the gym, setting up tables and chairs, and transporting games from storage to the Jim Ciccone Civic Centre.

People are also needed during the festival at the civic centre on Oct. 31 to help run the variety of activities included in Hallowe’en Fest.

Then at 8 p.m. following the event, volunteers are needed for take down, which will include taking down decorations, tables and chairs, and transporting games back to storage. Killbery said the more people helping out, the faster take down will be.

People can also help Hallowe’en Fest by making a donation rather than buying candy for their door.

Anyone wanting to help out Hallowe’en Fest is encouraged to call (250) 62G HOST (624 4678).

Brad, the Husky, finds shelterBY SHAUN THOMAS PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

Brad, the Husky, has found a temporary home.

As reported in The Northern Connector, the Vandenberg family was looking for a place to keep their dog after a fire tore through their home on Kootenay Ave. While the family was living at the Parkside Hotel awaiting the insurance investigation

to conclude, the dog was being kept at the home.

Shortly after the story went online at thenorthernview.com, the staff of the Kitimat Humane Society agreed to provide shelter and food for Brad for as long as is needed.

However, the family is still seeking donations of clothing and other essentials to replace those lost in the fire. The family is calling out for donations of couches, beds, a kitchen

table and chairs, kitchen utensils and appliances. The Vandenbergs are also in need of clothing in men’s XXL and L, teen lady M, young boy size 10-12, and baby girl size ¾ , as well as men’s shoes in sizes 13 and 10, boys size 6, and women’s size 8, as well as baby girl size 10/11.

Anyone wishing to donate to the Vandenberg family is asked to contact Margot at the Parkside Resort Motel in Room54.

MP worries refineries are just about the pipelineBY SHAUN THOMAS PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

Although there are now plans for two refineries in the Northwest, Skeena – Bulkley Valley MP Nathan Cullen said he still can’t comprehend why they are being proposed.

“The thing about building a refinery on the west coast is mystifying. There are already refineries in Alberta. Why would you ship large volumes of raw bitumen to the coast and then refine it at the very last minute before shipping it to Asia where they can refine it for 1/10th of the cost,” he questioned.

“I’m trying to find business model for it, I don’t hear a lot of people in energy sector calling for it.”

While Eagle Spirit Energy is in the very preliminary

stages of its refinery plan for Grassy Point, Kitimat Clean Ltd. president David Black is expecting to file the environmental assessment for the refinery in the Kitimat Valley this fall. Cullen said his concern with both proposals is the possibility of a bait-and-switch.

“My worry is someone will get approval for a refinery with pipeline component and then yank the refinery to get a pipeline in through the back door,” he said, noting he remains open to talking to any project proponent.

“We are interested in development, but it has to be on our terms because we live here.

“I don’t hear a lot of people in the energy sector calling for it.”

Numerous vehicles damaged during vandalism spreeBY MARTINA PERRY PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

Prince Rupert RCMP are asking for the public’s assistance following a series of acts of mischief.

RCMP have responded to numerous complaints of damage to vehicles and property throughout Prince Rupert over the past two weeks, the first of which occurred on Oct. 12.

Sgt. Victor Steinhammer of the Prince Rupert RCMP said the incidents are suspected to be related.

Acts of mischief happened against four vehicles in the Prince Rupert area, with vehicles either having a window smashed out or tires slashed. Vehicles were damaged on the 700 block of Alfred Street, another

in the 400 block of McBride Street, and one in the 400 block of 7th Ave. West. A fourth vehicle was hit on the 400 block of 8th Ave. West, which was also the victim of a theft from vehicle.

Additionally, RCMP are looking into damage done to a bus shelter near Chevron on 3rd Ave. West.

All occurrences took place in the late evening or

early morning hours.“Currently the Prince Rupert RCMP is turning

to the community for any information they may have regarding these mischiefs. We are also asking the community to be extra vigilant and to report any serious suspicious activity they may witness in their neighbourhoods,” Const. Matt Ericson, spokesperson for the Prince Rupert RCMP, said.

Investigation into the acts are ongoing. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Prince Rupert RCMP Detachment at 250-627-0700 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Crime Stoppers pays cash for information leading to an arrest, without people needing to give their names.

“We are also asking the community to be extra vigilant”

Buying locally is a great way for consumers to find the products and services they’re looking for and help their local economy along the way.

The small businesses in your community may be owned by your next door neighbor, who relies on his or her fellow townspeople to keep the business going strong.

Buying locally is not only beneficial for local business owners, but buying locally benefits consumers and members of the community in a number of ways.

* Buying locally creates jobs. The number of unemployed men and women has gradually declined in recent years, but those figures are still high in many communities. Buying locally creates jobs in your community, potentially creating a job for you or a friend or family member.

* Buying locally helps the environment. Buying within your community reduces the amount of fuel you’re likely to use for a weekend shopping trip while also reducing pollution. In addition, many local store owners use local materials and ingredients, reducing the amount of fuel consumed to get products into the store.

* Buying locally creates a more closely knit community. Juggling a career and a family can make it hard for men and women to get to know their neighbors and other members of their community. Buying locally is an opportunity to strengthen that bond with your neighbors, creating a close knit community in which residents may feel safer and more comfortable.

* Buying locally is more convenient. Convenience is paramount to many consumers, and buying locally saves both time and money. Driving to a faraway mall or shopping center or paying costly online shipping fees is not nearly as quick or convenient as shopping within your

community, where you can purchase and take home items on the same day without using a full tank of gas or shipping.

* Buying locally benefits your local economy. In 2004, the consultancy Civic Economics to examine the economic impact of 10 local businesses against that of chain businesses. The study found that of every $100 spent at local businesses, $68 remained in the local economy, while only $43 of every $100 spent at chain stores remained in the local economy. That’s a significant boost to your local economy, and all it requires is shopping at local retailers.

* Buying locally can increase your property value. Homeowners might be able to increase the value of their homes by buying locally. A more thriving local community, including a thriving shopping district, is no doubt attractive to prospective home buyers.

The reasons for shopping locally are many. In addition to helping local business owners, consumers who shop locally are helping themselves.

Five trends impacting Canadian businessesAccording to a new research report

released on Oct. 21 by the Business Development Bank of Canada (BDC), five consumer trends will have a permanent impact on Canadians’ buying habits and create growth opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).

The report identifies five consumer behaviours — the buy-local movement, rising health awareness, frugality, mass customization of goods and the impact of the Internet — that have emerged as a result of advances in technology, changing demographics and the 2007–08 recession.

“These consumer trends have created rich business opportunities, which entrepreneurs must seize on if they want to grow their businesses,” said Pierre Cléroux, Chief Economist, BDC.

However, the research shows that entrepreneurs have not embraced all trends equally. Some SMEs have begun catering to the increased demand for healthy, well-priced local products, for instance, but e-commerce has been slower to catch on. In fact, the Canadian online retail presence remains largely underdeveloped and, as a result, e-commerce has lagged behind that of most other nations, with some of the lowest penetration levels in the developed world.

“Regardless of whether they buy a product over the Internet or in a

store, more consumers are influenced by what they see on online channels,” said Mr. Cléroux. “Entrepreneurs must realize that a simple website is no longer sufficient for businesses. Instead, they need to adopt a multi-channel approach.”

The “Made in Canada” advantage

Of all the consumer trends, the buy-local movement has been the most powerful. Close to two-thirds of Canadians say they have made an effort to buy local or Canadian-made products in the past year, and two in five consider local production an important factor in their buying decision.

“The ‘Made in Canada’ brand is powerful because Canadians have clear understanding of what buying locally made products means to the national economy,” added Mr. Cléroux.

The research shows that consumers who buy local do so for economic reasons: 97 per cent of Canadians do it to support the local economy, 96 per cent do it to support local farmers and 93 per cent do it to create local jobs, while 87 per cent think it is better for the environment.

Quebecers and Atlantic Canadians are the most faithful users of locally made products, with roughly three-quarters indicating they recently bought products made in Canada; consumers

in Saskatchewan and Manitoba are the least likely to do so.

BDC’s study also found:— Half of Canadians consider

the health impact of a product when making purchasing decisions and one-third are willing to pay a premium for healthy products.

— Mass customization has emerged as the go-to technique for delivering tailor-made products and services to customers at prices and lead times that match those of mass-produced products.

— Seven out of 10 consumers

have reduced their spending since the recession, and two-thirds consider the lowest possible cost the most influential factor in their purchasing decisions.

The recession also weakened consumer confidence, and low interest rates have spurred high debt levels.

“Consumers want personalized, high-quality products at reasonable prices and are using many penny-pinching strategies like group couponing to get more bang for their buck,” said Mr. Cléroux.

Woman punches Masset RCMP officerBY CPL. GLEN BRECKON MASSET / Special to The Northern View

Masset RCMP responded to 19 files from Oct. 8 to Oct. 14. This included four assault files, two drunk in public files and two break and enters.

Last week was court week in Masset and a number of cases were resolved. Noel James Williams received 30 days in jail for theft and breach of probation in relation to the recent theft of liquor from the Mile Zero Pub. Williams has also been charged with several other offences stemming from a recent incident in Masset. Williams will appear in Masset Provincial Court in the near future in relation to the new charges.

On Oct. 11, Masset RCMP responded to a complaint of a hit and run on a property on Marwell Road. A member attended and learned that a vehicle had come onto the property and driven over some roofing materials. When the vehicle was approached by the property representative the vehicle drove off hitting the property representative in the process. A suspect vehicle has been identified and the investigation continues. Charges under either the Motor Vehicle Act or the Criminal Code are likely.

On Oct. 11, Masset RCMP responded to a report of a disturbance at the Trumpeter Apartments. The member arrived and observed a male breaking a window. The male was arrested. While dealing with the male a female began obstructing the member and at one point punched the member in the face. The female was arrested and transported to RCMP cells. The female has since been released and has a court date in the near future for Assaulting a Police Officer.

Two Masset RCMP members; Const. Bryan Schultz and Const. Calvin Aird have just returned to Masset after receiving two weeks of Drug and Alcohol Resistance Education (D.A.R.E.) training. D.A.R.E. training is designed to be delivered to children in Grades 4 to 6. Const. Schultz and Const. Aird will be looking into delivering D.A.R.E. to the local communities in the near future.

As always, any suspicious activity can be reported to the Masset RCMP at 250-626-3991 or anonymously to Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS) or online at www.bccrimestoppers.com.

Lieutenant-Governor Judith Guichon made her fi rst visit to Haida Gwaii on Oct. 21 to formally open the new library in Old Massett.

Old Massett library openedBY MARTINA PERRY PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

There was a special guest on the islands on Oct. 21, as British Columbia’s Lieutenant-Governor Judit Guichon made her first trip to Haida Gwaii to formally open the new library in Old Massett.

The library was a concept developed by Literacy Haida Gwaii, and was made possible in part due to a $60,000 Write to Read grant from Government House.

The physical library is located

in a Britco trailer that was donated by the company after being used in the Vancouver 2010 Olympics, with BC Ferries donating transport for the trailer.

“Having an aboriginal library in Old Massett is integral to promoting literacy and encouraging a love of learning. Besides housing books, the desire is to eventually expand the library collection to include digital resources and use the library to run family literacy programs and workshops,” said Literacy haida Gwaii executive director Beng

Favreau.London Drugs donated

two computers for the library, the Rotary Club of Langley donated $5,000 for books and Literacy Haida Gwaii donated an additional $2,000 for books. The Vancouver Island Regional Library will help train volunteers on the management of library database system

Donations of books and chairs are still being accepted. If you would like to make a donation, please contact either Beng at 250-559-839.

Community groups in Prince Rupert will have to wait to find out how much money they will receive from the City of Prince Rupert.

City staff were looking for direction from council about the 2014 community enhancement grants during an Oct. 14 meeting, something city manager Robert Long said will help with the budget process that is to come.

“It is expected the city’s 2014 operating fund revenues will remain about the same. Cost pressures will include general inflation, benefit cost increases, energy cost increases and possible negotiated wage increases,” he told council.

Although council voted to have presentations from the “Big 6” — the golf course, Tourism Prince Rupert, the Prince Rupert Economic Development Commission, the Museum of Northern B.C., the library and the Lester Centre — but not smaller groups, how to handle the individual requests was tabled until

December to meet a commitment made during the last budget process.

“One thing we wanted was to receive public input on what people saw as priorities, what they felt was important and what was not ... we did promise in the spring that we would have at least one public meeting in the fall or winter to get that input,” said Councillor Anna Ashley, noting delaying any decision until after the Nov. 16 byelection also made sense.

“I think it would be good if we had a full council at the table, and I think one meeting should be adequate.”

Councillor Joy Thorkelson supported putting off making any

decision, wanting city staff to give council a better idea of the financial position of the city.

“We need to have some discussion, but to do that I think we need to have some idea of what the budget looks like and what some of the challenges may be,” she said.

“In my opinion the community grants are about as low as they can get, but they are part of the budget process.”

This year, community groups are seeking a total $143,743, which is up from $100,075 handed out last year.When the grants sought by the “Big 6” are taken into account, the total rises from $1.41 million last year to $1.53 million this year.

“In my opinion, the community grants are about as low as they can get.”

- Joy Thorkelson

Gov’t asked to control liquor

at casinosBY JEFF NAGEL VICTORIA / Black Press

B.C. does too little to fight problem gambling and should consider new steps, from making it harder to get alcohol and cash in casinos to removing the most addictive high-risk slot machines.

Those recommendations come from Provincial Health Officer Dr. Perry Kendall, who tackled the health impacts of gambling Wednesday with the release of his annual report titled Lower the Stakes.

Chief among the findings is that B.C. underspends other provinces in prevention and treatment for problem gambling – it invests about half the national average on a per capita basis.

Liquor access is one area of risk the province could tighten, Kendall said, perhaps through reduced hours of alcohol service at casinos or by raising drink prices.

He said part of the issue is gambling delivers endorphins that stimulate pleasure centres of the brain.

“If you also have alcohol and add that to the mix and you’ve got an ATM there with an unlimited cash amount, you’ve definitely got a scenario where people are going to behave less and less responsibly.”

Banning ATMs or requiring players to set an advance limit on what they might spend is another idea advanced in the report.

It also zeroes in on high-risk electronic gaming machines – the slots designed by manufacturers to generate the most compulsive behaviour.
