After spending months on picket lines, Prince Rupert teachers entered schools on Friday to prepare for the start of the 2014/2015 year.

For months negotiations between the British Columbia Teachers’ Federation (BCTF) and the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association (BCPSEA) were at a halt, but after a six-day marathon of bargaining sessions a tentative agreement was reached on Sept. 16.

Eighty-six per cent of the more than 31,000 teachers who voted on the deal were in favour, with the ratification of the new collective agreement ending the strike and lockout on

Sept. 18. “I think our bargaining team did a good

job and worked extremely hard to get the deal we got, but it does not resolve issues that the teachers’ union had,” said Kathy Murphy, president of the Prince Rupert District Teachers’ Union (PRDTU).

Over the life of the six-year agreement $400-million in education funding will be

provided by the provincial government to hire classroom teachers and specialists. The government will also disburse $105 million to address grievances, which the BCTF will hand out as a signing bonus.

The contract won’t restore class size and composition limits or specialist teachers ratios that were in place before 2002, but a clause nullifying BCTF court victories relating to class size and composition was dropped from the deal.

“We want more support for kids in our classrooms in Prince Rupert. That’s been a long-standing position of the PRDTU,” said Murphy.

“Teachers are questioning if anything will be different in their classrooms.”

Residents of Dodge Cove are making it clear: They do not want a liquefied natural gas export terminal on Digby Island.

Thirty-six residents of the small community across the harbour signed a petition directed to Peter Levy of Nexen Energy, the international energy firm exploring the feasibility of locating a four-train LNG terminal at the mouth of the harbour, expressing their concerns that such a project would “alter our lives and community irreparably”.

Even before there are shovels in the ground, Dodge Cove representative Des Nobels said the project is interfering with residents’ quality of life.

“Over the course of the summer our community has been inundated with helicopter traffic and people are not happy,” he said at the Sept. 19 meeting of the Skeena - Queen Charlotte Regional District.

“They are not interested in this project to say the least. We do not want Nexen as our neighbour and we have made that clear.”

Nobles said the company has acknowledged the concerns of Dodge Cove and is arranging a meeting with residents next month.

As well as going to Nexen, the petitions were also sent to North Coast MLA Jennifer Rice and Skeena - Bulkley Valley MP Nathan Cullen.

Nexen declined to comment on the proposal, citing the ongoing environmental assessment process.

DODGE COVE from Page A1 The BCTF agreed to take a 7.25 per cent increase in salary throughout the life of the agreement, the same amount as other public sector workers. Murphy said that this doesn’t cover teachers’ cost of living, which she said has jumped 2.1 per cent this year alone.

Furthermore, the collective agreement will mean improvements in extended health benefits and the rate for teachers-on-call.

“Teachers are happy to be going back to school,” Murphy said, adding there’s still work to be done in the future.

Education Minister Peter Fassbender congratulated teachers on the settlement, which ends a bitter strike that shut schools for two weeks in June and another three weeks this fall.

“We can now focus on the path forward,” Fassbender said.

“This long-term agreement is an historic opportunity to work together for students – to enhance

their education experience and to support their achievements.”

Despite the delayed start, the school year won’t be extended. Prince Rupert School District superintendent Sandra Jones said semesters will be adjusted so they are even, with provincial exam dates being moved to correspond with the changes.

Prince Rupert RCMP, meanwhile,

are reminding both drivers and pedestrians to be extra cautious as the new school year gets underway.

“Drivers are asked to slow down in school zones and pay close attention to their surroundings as children may be crossing unexpectedly,” said Const. Matt Ericson, spokesman for the Prince Rupert RCMP.

“We also want to remind students to always use marked crosswalks and to cross defensively. As the days begin to get shorter with the change of seasons and inclement weather, drivers and pedestrians need to be aware that visibility is reduced and to never to assume that they have been seen.”

“Drivers are asked to ... “Drivers are asked to ... pay close attention.”pay close attention.”

A majority of those sitting on the Prince Rupert School District (SD52) board of education will seek reelection this November.

Tina Last, who presently chairs the board, confirmed her name will be on the voting ballot during this year’s municipal election.

“I enjoy the work the board is able to do to help public education in our district. And there’s still work to be done that interests me that I know I can contribute to,” Last said.

Trustee Janet Beil is currently filling the board’s rural seat, representing students from surrounding communities such as Port Edward, Lax Kw’alaams and Metlakatla. Beil said she is seeking reelection in hopes of continuing on with work already underway.

“I think it’s wonderful that we get the opportunity to finish a lot of the projects we start,” she said.

Bart Kuntz is also putting his name forward in hopes of reelection. The trustee said he made a commitment to serve on the board of education for the entire time his children attend school in Prince Rupert.

“I think having kids in school is a huge factor ... I’m involved that way,” Kuntz said.

Terri-Lynn Huddlestone is also planning to run again.“I have made a commitment to SD52 since my son started

elementary school ... it’s been a natural evolution since then,” she said.

Louisa Sanchez said she has been an advocate for students during her time on the board, something she hopes voters will allow her to continue with.

“I’m a passionate advocate for children with special needs, and I want to continue to strive for excellence and improve graduation rates, especially for our aboriginal students,” Sanchez said.

Barb Gruber will not be seeking reelection for a trustee seat in November, declining to elaborate on her decision.

The City of Prince Rupert bestowed a civic recognition award on a young Rupertite that helped save her father’s life earlier this year.

Gianna Evans, who recently turned 13, was presented with the Sgt. William Booth Award For Valour by City of Prince Rupert mayor and council during a short presentation on Sept. 15.

This past January Evans’ quick-thinking helped save her father Bill’s life. After he had a heart attack, Evans performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) on her dad until emergency responders arrived.

Doctors informed the family without Evans’ fast action the outcome would have been much different.

Evans hadn’t been trained to perform CPR, but had an idea how to from a babysitting course she had taken and a dance solo she had done that mimicked the emergency procedure.

“It felt really good [to receive

the award],” said Evans, adding she was surprised to find out she had been nominated.

The Sgt. Williams Booth Award For Valour is given to citizens who “acting on their own initiative or as members of volunteer organizations, demonstrate unusual humanitarian effort in order to help and protect their fellow citizens, sometimes placing themselves at great personal risk”.

“The award is presented in

memory of Sgt. William Booth, a pioneer of our city who gave his life to save three local children on Aug. 11, 1921,” said Prince Rupert Mayor Jack Mussallem during the presentation, noting only three others have received this award in the history of the city.

The city can choose to award civic recognitions on individuals or groups in the community acknowledging outstanding achievements in a number of areas.

It was great to see the Skeena – Queen Charlotte Regional District throw their support behind the Northwest B.C.

Resource Benefits Alliance.In reality, it’s probably the only way that

the region as a whole is going to pressure the government into providing the much-needed financial support to keep the infrastructure of communities on par with the expected

population boom that is coming with energy export development. And the “united we stand, divided we fall” mentality has proven effective.

I was working in Fort St. John the year the province announced its Fair Share revenue-sharing agreement with municipalities in the Peace River area. From Fort St. John

to Tumbler Ridge and from Pouce Coupe to Chetwynd, regional leaders banded together to tell the province that if they wanted industry to succeed, municipal governments needed money to keep up roads, utilities and general amenities that make for an attractive quality of life. They weren’t going to be swayed with individual grants and promises, it was all-for-one and one-for-all.

The results speak for themselves. The Fair Share Agreement was announced in 2005 and saw the province-sharing tax revenue from the booming oil and gas sector with the communities housing the workers and support industries. In the first six years, the result was more than $180 million, or $30 million per year, coming into the Peace region.

Now, as liquefied natural gas takes centre stage, the Northwest as a whole faces a similar dilemma, which is keeping pace with major industrial development and the population growth and challenges it brings. Although it may be almost a decade later, the answer to these problems seems to remain the same.

The time is now for the Northwest to get its own fair share from the province and bringing this united voice to Victoria may be the only way to do it.

Getting our ownfair share

Lawyers for the provincial government and the B.C. Teachers’ Federation have filed their written submissions to the B.C. Court of Appeal. At issue

is whether legislation removing union contract terms that dictated class size and teacher staff levels was a violation of members’ constitutional rights to freedom of association.

When B.C. Supreme Court justice Susan Griffin found that it was, the government changed legislation again. The same judge ordered that struck down and the 2002 contract language reinstated retroactively for every contract since then, imposed or negotiated.

The government says that would create chaos as well as billions in expenses, pushing out full-day kindergarten and other allocations of space and money that have proceeded since union control was removed.

Griffin’s order is stayed pending this appeal. If you think the latest strike has been disruptive, you don’t want to see what this judge’s vision would look like.

Government lawyers argue that the BCTF’s constitutional right claim is “wrong in law” and amounts to a veto that blocks the province’s ability to legislate in response to changing conditions.

“According to the BCTF, legislation may improve on collective agreement entitlements but cannot remove them over the objections of the union without violating [the Charter of Rights and Freedoms],” the government’s submission says. “On the BCTF’s theory, collective agreement entitlements become constitutionally protected in perpetuity.”

What that would mean to voters is when they throw out an NDP government that handed the keys to the treasury to

public sector unions, the unions can veto that too. And when mandated minimum teacher-librarians sitting in rooms full of paper books become the equivalent of buggy whip weavers, they must remain as long as the union wants.

BCTF’s lawyers submit that the government is wrong in fact as well as law. Its arguments are technical, dwelling particularly on the fact that the government didn’t appeal Griffin’s first ruling.

The Coalition of B.C. Businesses has entered the case as an intervener, arguing for the supremacy of elected governments when providing public services.

Its submission notes that unlike private disputes, the right to strike is often curtailed in the public sector, and sometimes eliminated as in the case of police and health care.

“When critical aspects of public policy are jeopardized by employee demands, those aspects could be legislated; where a fiscal downturn or inflationary pressures required austerity measures, they could be implemented through legislation; where strikes jeopardize important public services, the legislature could pass back-to-work legislation, and so on.”

It’s been obvious for many years that the BCTF doesn’t function like a normal union, and isn’t much interested in starting to do so.

Its leadership sees itself as an agent of “social justice,” a belief demonstrated by its promotion of flawed poverty statistics and pronouncements on everything from U.S. labour law to conflict in the Middle East.

Its decades-old instruction to government is blunt: raise taxes and give us the money.

Water sampling helps assess harbour healthIn 2013 the Prince Ru-

pert Port Authority began its Marine En-

vironmental Water Qual-ity (MEWQ) program, with the goal of collecting detailed data about present water quality within the vicinity of Prince Rupert’s harbour.

These “baseline” measurements can then be compared to future sam-ples to better understand the effects of harbour activity and port growth.

Through 2013 and into 2014, Port Authority staff are collecting water samples from 25 sites in the inner and outer harbour to measure the im-pact of a full range of port operations.

The samples are then shipped to laboratories where they are tested and analyzed to determine their general properties, as well as to detect the presence of metals, nutrients, algae, bacteria and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH).

In addition to collecting samples, Port Authority staff use a hand-held probe at each site to take on-location measurements of temperature, conductivity, dissolved oxygen, dissolved solids, salinity and pH levels.

Measurements are taken at every metre. Samples are extracted at depths of one, nine and 20 metres below the surface.

These depth profiles are used to catalogue how water quality changes at various depths.

Recognizing that quarterly samples aren’t frequent enough to recog-nize and respond to potential marine pollution incidents, this summer staff members began taking water quality measurements at 28 sites every two weeks.

During their regular harbour patrols, the crew of the Port Authority’s patrol vessel Charles Hays perform this bi-weekly duty, further strength-ening oversight and stewardship of the local marine environment.

These tests result in a wealth of information about water quality. Most of Prince Rupert’s parameters fall within water quality guide-

lines. But sampling monitors for areas of potential concern like low lev-els of dissolved oxygen, which can increase stress on aquatic life. High concentrations of heavy metals like lead and mercury can cause deformi-ties and even death among fish.

Measuring chlorophyll and nutrients such as nitrates can determine if large amounts of plankton or algae are present, which deplete oxygen levels for fish and other organisms.

Through its water sampling programs, the Prince Rupert Port Au-thority is measuring and monitoring the state of our harbour in order to respond effectively to any changes—as they occur.

Its commitment to water quality and pollution prevention is a key component of the Port Authority’s 2020 Environmental Sustainability Plan. It defines initiatives and community partnerships that will extend even further than mandated requirements and regulations.

Together with like-minded community organizations and port part-ners, the Prince Rupert Port Authority is monitoring issues like water quality and introducing best practices to reduce the environmental im-pact of existing operations and future developments.

Letters to the editorLetters to the editor

Editor:I recently received a notice from CityWest

indicating that due to the increased cost of postage, customers wishing to continue to receive paper billing in the mail would be charged an extra $2.

The cost of a stamp to mail out a bill is $1 if you are buying stamps individually and 75 cents if you are using a postage meter, both well below the $2 that CityWest is trying to pass on to the customer. If CityWest is trying to recoup costs other than those incurred by postage, that should be stated. Canada Post is providing a vital service at a price that no private company will ever match and should not be blamed for such a price increase.

CityWest may feel justified to claim that this is the increased cost of doing business and they need to charge $2 more to maintain a feasible business plan. The problem with this, however, is that CityWest is justifying an increase in billing by claiming that a 25 cent increase in postal costs over the last nine years justifies a $2 increase. If CityWest wants to maintain this stance, it is nothing more than a cash grab and it reflects poorly on a northern business and has more in common with the business practices of large faceless corporations of the south that are completely disinterested in their customers.

The cost of living has gone up for the consumer as well and it is disappointing, to say the least, when a local company says they must increase costs to keep up with inflation. I cannot help but notice that while CityWest is willing to charge extra for the cost of mailing out bills, they are not offering any break on billing for customers choosing electronic billing when it is surely a cost saving measure.

While reports of economic hardship are heard everywhere, companies like CityWest are trying to save money by bullying customers into electronic billing by saying they can no longer afford to send out paper bills and will have to charge more for

continued paper billing. This is the mentality that is costing jobs, not saving money. It is reducing the workforce throughout the process, less paper being purchased, less shipping jobs to move the paper, fewer staff needed to prepare billing, and fewer postal workers for delivering the mail. This means more unemployment and fewer people with money to buy the things that make an economy work. A retort may be presented that electronic billing is a greener practice and better for the environment. For a company owned in the Northwest, this would seem a poor tactic to use, as many livelihoods depend on this genuinely renewable resource that is also heavily recycled.

Electronic billing also presumes that everyone has easy access to a computer. Customers living in remote locations, low income families, and the elderly are all demographics that are much less likely to have Internet in their homes or easy access to Internet. For some, television is one of the very few luxuries that they can afford and CityWest is telling them it will cost another $2 a month.

I hope CityWest will step up to make this billing increase more equitable or, better yet, rescinding it altogether. If CityWest wants to promote itself as from the North, they should act like it and not just blindly follow others.

Editor: Christy Clark’s approach to labour relations

visa vie the B.C. teachers has been a lesson in puerility: i.e. an example of how to govern this province foolishly because of a deficiency in managerial skills.

After frittering away the summer, her Liberal government was forced by the weight of public opinion to finally get off its collective butt and negotiate in good faith. Clark’s ham-fisted government must now pay for the

administration of their boondoggle known as the Temporary Education Support for Parents.

If you are wondering why parents and children have had to endure all this inconvenience, uncertainty and stress, the answer is contained in the word puerility. If you have the need for a derisive chuckle or two, watch Christy Clark try to spin atop her skewed version of events.

Raymond and Steven Liu understand the importance of sacrifice, generosity and giving back to a supportive community; they learned early from their parents.

On the hunt for a better life for their kids, Moon-Hung Liu and Sui-Kwan Liu emigrated from Hong Kong and chose Vancouver as their new home, taking part in a growing trend of Chinese families coming to Canada’s west coast in the 1970s, mostly from Hong Kong, Taiwan or Southeast Asia.

Uncertain of what this new frontier had in store for them, looking back, Raymond and Steven can only appreciate what their folks had achieved.

“We had great parents. They sacrificed their lifestyle to give us a better life,” said Raymond.

“Canada was [the best option].”“There was better education and more

opportunities,” said Steven.With Steven being 16 and Raymond being the

youngest of three brothers at only 10, emigrating was a bit of a shock. Terry, the oldest, was actually the first to come north to Prince Rupert from Vancouver when he got a job at the pulp mill, though it wasn’t easy to move away from a city that reminded them of home.

“We came from a big city so we liked Vancouver,” said Steven of his past two worldly residences.

“[Terry] and his friends moved here together ... and then I really wasn’t doing anything and so I was going to come up and visit him. The next thing you know, I’ve ended up staying almost 40 years now,” said Steven.

The three brothers opened a restaurant, the Imperial Palace, and ran the establishment for 15 years before selling it. It was through the restaurant that Raymond and Steven discovered the sponsorship opportunities that came with owning a business in Rupert.

“We sponsored bowling, basketball teams, soccer and quite a few sports,” said Steven.

Terry’s family has moved back to Hong Kong, while Raymond and Steven continue to be two of the most frequent faces seen at the Jim Ciccone Civic Centre on a daily basis from the 1980s until today.

“I was the first student at [Master Paul Bozman’s old] Taekwondo club,” said Steven.

“I was the first one who signed up for the class ... and we started off in the [upstairs] Judo Room and then gradually came down to the big room when we had over 90 kids.”

“We spread ourselves out in different areas. I started [coaching] in minor hockey and Steven started in Taekwondo. Terry played in Old-timers [hockey],” said Raymond.

The Liu brothers eventually had children of their own and they were quick to get just as involved as their parents and uncles.

“He’s the good uncle,” said Steven of Raymond.“He looks after my kids and Terry’s kids and usually

takes them to hockey practice and stuff like that too.”Adrian, Steven’s son who is now 31 and a Canadian

global badminton star, actually got his start in hockey

before he took a liking to badminton and Raymond was one of the driving forces for starting the “Initiation” hockey program for kids aged four to six in an A or B level beginners’ school.

The Lius tried their hand at badminton later on in Prince Rupert after a certain special event piqued their interest.

“We played badminton in Hong Kong before too, but we’d just rally and have fun and enjoy the game. Afterwards [in 1999], we had the Northern B.C. Winter Games in Rupert and Adrian was getting more into badminton,” explained Steven.

“There were a couple [high-ranking] coaches that started a team ... me, Ray and Adrian got our coaching certificate and then we’d put our time into it and get more serious. That’s how we started teaching the junior badminton.”

At one point, the Lius were just part of dozens and dozens of participants who formed their own clubs and leagues while Rupert’s population was higher. After the spike in numbers, the totals began to drop off. It wasn’t until 2010 that history would repeat itself and the Northern B.C. Winter Games, once again held in Rupert, would attract a whole new audience to the clubs at the civic centre.

Steven and Raymond got more competitive the more they learned about the sport - one of the fastest in the world.

“Badminton’s not just about hitting a birdie back and forth ... the techniques and strategies [are quite deep],” said Steven who added the velocity of a smashed birdie can reach as high as 400 kilometres per hour for some of the top players.

Along with the racquet sport, Raymond runs

floor hockey at the civic centre and both brothers operate Tai Chi on Friday nights, an ancient Chinese discipline involving a series of slow movements designed to improve physical and mental well-being. It is something they originally thought wouldn’t garner much attention, especially on the eve of the weekend.

“We were helping the Chinese association with it when the rec coordinator [at the time] told us Tai Chi would be a good thing for the civic centre,” said Steven.

“Three or four years ago, it started on Friday nights but Fridays can be hard – people have commitments. But the first time we put it out, we had over 30 people sign up,” said Raymond.

The brothers teach “24-form” Tai Chi, which is a style taught all over the world, so even if one doesn’t speak the language in Korea, Japan or China, they can jump right in with the movements that they’ve been taught in Prince Rupert.

Mostly, for the siblings, it’s all about giving back to the city that they say has been so kind to them through their exploits with the restaurant and beyond.

“Everyone was so good to us, that’s why we wanted to give back to the community. We try to coach and we always found [the best part about being a part of sports] was seeing the kids scoring their first goal and achieving a better level,” said Raymond.

Amakusa Island sets sail


Repairs to a bulk carrier that ran aground near Prince Rupert in July came to an end earlier this month, with the vessel finally being able to sail away to Asia on Sept. 9.

The 228-metre Amakusa Island ran aground 15 kilometres off of Ridley Island on July 14 while shifting from berth at Ridley Terminals. Loaded with 80,000 metric tonnes of coal, the Amakusa Island suffered damage to its hull, with two buoyancy compartments being compromised.

Michael Gurney, manager of corporate communications for the Prince Rupert Port Authority (PRPA), said an underwater diving crew started round-the-clock work to patch the gash that was approximately 30 metres in length on July 24, followed by work to the bulk carrier’s interior.

“Work at the end of the process entailed ensuring the internal repairs were complete, which meant sealing the bulkheads that separate the water-tight compartments in the double hulled structure of the ship,” explained Gurney.

While the task was originally scheduled to be complete within 15 days, some setbacks meant repairs to the Amakusa Island weren’t done until Sept. 8. The following day the vessel was able to sail away from Prince Rupert’s harbour to its destination of Japan.

The Canadian Transportation Safety Board is still investigating the incident, and will release its official determination following the investigation’s conclusion.

More than a dozen community members came out to the Highliner Inn on Sept. 17 to express their concerns about the impacts ferry fares and recently reduced service are having on the North Coast.

The meeting, hosted by NDP ferry and transportation critic Claire Trevena and North Coast MLA Jennifer Rice, touched on everything from the impacts to families, to teams and businesses in Prince Rupert.

The loss of additional sailings and increasing costs to travel between Prince Rupert and Haida Gwaii is something Anna Ashley said she has heard about both in her role as a high school coach and as a member of city council.

“The kids from Haida Gwaii can barely ever come off the island for a zone tournament and it costs them a fortune if they can ... we can’t take the kids to the island for tournaments and that is a big loss when it comes to that connectedness. It’s not an economic loss, but it is a community loss,” she said, adding the situation was worse this summer when a major paving project took up a lot of available bookings.

“There were people that needed to get off the island for medical treatment and they couldn’t even get on the ferry,” said Ashley, who suggested implementing a maximum for space available for business reservations.

Coun. Nelson Kinney said in addition to lost tourism revenue, he has heard first-hand about the impact ferry fares are having on seniors needing to look south for assistance.

“A lot of our seniors have medical problems and, with the price of the ferry, they just can’t afford it,” he said.

“It’s sad ... we’re not being treated right here at all.”

Pointing to the $200 cost to simply walk onto an Inside Passage sailing during the summer, Christy Allen of the Pioneer Backpackers Inn said the loss of business has been substantial as people look for other affordable B.C. adventures.

Trevena’s meeting in Prince Rupert came the day before she boarded a ferry for similar meetings in communities throughout Haida Gwaii.

Prince Rupert said farewell to the last of the cruise ship passengers this year on Friday evening, as the Silver Seas departed from Northland Terminal.

There were 10 cruise calls throughout the 2014 cruise season spanning from May 26 and Sept. 19, all together carrying more than 3,500 passengers to Prince Rupert.

“Obviously we’re disappointed that we’re at the levels we are for cruise ship activity, but I think all-in-all it went really well,” said Shaun Stevenson, Prince Rupert Port Authority vice-president of trade development and public affairs.

“The feedback we get consistently is that people are appreciative of the local charm and the opportunity for excursions in the area. It’s very much distinctive from the experience they have in some of the Alaskan ports that are much more congested.”

The first cruise ship to berth at Northland Terminal this season

was the 490-passenger Seven Seas Navigator in May, followed by the 380-passenger Silver Shadow and 100-passenger Caledonian Sky in June.

The Silver Shadow returned in July, along with two stops by the largest vessel of the 2014 season, the Oceania’s MS Regatta carrying 684 passengers.

In September, the Landlad Sea Bird and Sea Lion, both holding 72 passengers, arrived in Prince Rupert.

The final two calls were made by the Silver Seas, on Sept. 10 and on Friday.

The port has already received cruise ship berth requests for 2015, with Stevenson stating at this time it looks like cruise ship traffic will be consistent with 2014.

Stevenson noted the port, in partnership with various industry stakeholders, will initiate work to understand what the future of the cruise ship industry might look like in Prince Rupert, and what the opportunity might be for growth and a return to traffic volumes it experienced in the late 2000s.


The 2014 cruise season ended on Friday with the departure of the Silver Seas.

Pool shut down to be extended


The delay of a custom-built part has forced the Earl Mah Aquatic Centre’s pool shutdown to be extended past the promised opening of Sept. 21 to Oct. 14.

The Prince Rupert Recreation Departments is still awaiting the arrival of a replacement exhaust fan, which controls the air quality in the centre.

“Although it’s frustrating that we are unable to open when anticipated after shutdown, the longer wait affords our staff time to complete additional projects that weren’t scheduled to be finished this summer,” said recreation director Willa Thorpe in a press release by the department.

“Our staff is keen to re-open the centre as soon as it is safe to do so.”

A full slate of programs is set to be continued on Oct. 14, said the news release, including the beginning of the season for the Prince Rupert Amateur Swim Club’s 2014-15 year.

It may be one of the oldest buildings in Prince Rupert’s downtown core, but it certainly isn’t showing its age.

Gary’s Lock and Security Shop Ltd., located at 617 Second Ave. West, was recently given a face-lift with restoration work on the store’s exterior being completed earlier this month.

Peace of Mind Painting’s Wayne Fast revived the building by applying a fresh coat of paint to its frontside, as well as sanding off paint on its entrance doors to expose original wood underneath.

“It was long overdue for a face-lift,” said Gary Weick, owner of Gary’s Lock Shop and Security.

“The doors are natural outside ... it’s 104-year-old wood you see there now.”

Prince Rupert City and Regional Archives paperwork shows a permit for the building was taken out in early 1911, the first building on the block at the time.

Weick bought the heritage building in 1979, and said he is either the fourth or fifth owner.

The building has been well-maintained over the years, with the bulk of it being made of the same materials it was when it first opened.

Since Weick took over ownership,

the only major maintenance jobs that have been done to the structure have been erecting metal cornices outside through a heritage committee grant, and replacing the rotted back wall approximately 15 years ago.

Preservation has been the goal, with Weick aiming to retain the building’s older style.

“It fits the stuff in here, and me,” he laughed, referring to the age-old items displayed in his shop.

The longtime business owner has complied an array of antiques and collectibles over the years, showcasing part of his collection in the shop

that he has dubbed “Prince Rupert’s Other Museum”.

Weick said there’s potential to draw tourists to Prince Rupert with its heritage buildings, promoting the importances of maintaining the older structures.

“It smartens up the town when people look after [heritage buildings] and brings the community back to its original colours,” said Weick.

“Tourists like to see the old stuff.”Weick added he would like to see

the former-heritage walk resurrected, a tour that was previously put on for tourists in the community.

The Jim Ciccone Civic Centre will be getting a colourful makeover this fall as artist Jeff King will put a new face to the currently blank entryway.

King, who has completed multiple murals around town including the newest addition on the west side of the Moby Dick Inn, will be creating another wildlife themed painting depicting a group of otters swimming through North Coast waters.

Work on the mural began last week after multiple businesses and organizations chipped in to cover the $13,000 cost. The District of Port Edward announced at the Sept. 18 Prince Rupert and District Chamber of Commerce meeting that it would be providing the last $3,000 needed to begin painting, while another $3,000 is coming from Ridley Terminals Inc. Both Pacific NorthWest LNG and Northern Savings Credit Union are donating $2,500 toward the mural while the City of Prince Rupert Recreation Department is providing $2,000.

“We think it is a great idea to help with this mural because our children and adults also use the civic centre and I think it would be nice to be involved with this,” said Port Edward Mayor Dave MacDonald.

“Council is very happy to be able to help.”

In addition to financial donations, RONA has donated the paint and Cow Bay Gift Galley has provided in-kind donations for the work to take place.

BY SHAUN THOMASPRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

After seven days and more than 800 kilometres, riders in the 2014 Cops for Cancer Tour de North rolled into Prince Rupert on Thursday to celebrate the end of another successful campaign.

A total of 25 riders started the tour, with 19 completing the grueling ride from Prince George to Prince Rupert. Along the way the participants visited communities along the highway and raised more than $200,000 for pediatric cancer research and Camp GoodTimes, which allows young people battling cancer to enjoy the summer camp experience.

It’s a cause that has affected almost everybody in some way, but one that hit particularly close to home for Prince Rupert rider Cpl. Jennifer Collins.

“Yesterday I lost a friend who died of cancer, so it has been a very rough few days for me. But I also met a little girl yesterday that is seven years old, just like [my daughter] Olivia, who has cancer and that is why we ride,” an emotional Collins told those gathered to meet the riders at Northland Terminal.

“It really brought it home yesterday with my friend dying and then meeting this little girl about why we are here.”

Cpl. Collins was joined on the tour for the second time by her father and former Prince Rupert Inspector Bob Killbery. The two raised approximately $11,000 for the Canadian Cancer Society through their efforts, something

Killbery said they were happy to do. “We have had the opportunity to

meet kids that are dealing with cancer and families that are dealing with cancer and it certainly drives home the reason why we do it,” he said, adding that this tour was different than the previous ride in 2012.

“I think this one was harder because we had a lot more experienced riders this time and the pace of the riding was much faster. Every day we were ahead of schedule.”

During the welcoming event Olivia also donated to the cause by having nine-inches of her hair cut off to help make wigs for children battling cancer, while Frank Siegrist raised $500 to have his head shaved and donated the hair to make wigs.

Along with donations of hair, Northern Savings Credit Union presented riders with a cheque for $1,200 while Murray Smith presented a cheque for $200 from the Kaien Island Elders.

Mason Di Leta surveyed his audience, took a deep breath and headed out onto the vast expanse of the martial arts stage prepared for him and countless other combatants.

The youngest Prince Rupert resident ever to obtain a taekwondo black belt was testing in Summerland in front of five masters of the art and one grandmaster — a usually unheard of gathering of top martial artists to spectate a promotion test.

“In normal tournaments, they [proceed] from the lowest degree, like white belt first, all the way up to black belt, but in this tournament it was different because they wanted to show [the audience] what higher belts looked like ... so I got called up first,” said the 11-year-old Di Leta.

“I did my first two patterns; I was breathing heavily and I was losing my control, but after the second or third pattern I kind of went with it and it was alright.”

Included in the audience were Master Paul Bozman, Kendall-Leigh Beal, an ex-

Rupert citizen who moved to Osooyos to head her own club, and Grandmaster Jay Park, who mentored Bozman in Alberta years earlier.

Di Leta had a chance to speak to Park before he took to the floor, as they happened to stay at the same hotel as each other in Summerland.

“He said ‘Don’t get too nervous because that could throw you off your

game’ and to just take your time,” said Di Leta.

There are many youngsters who want to rise through the ranks quickly in the art, and it’s possible to do so, but Di Leta is a special kind of youngster.

Starting in taekwondo at the ripe age of five and advancing to his current designation, second-degree black belt, Di Leta has eclipsed all expectations placed on him by Bozman, Rupert’s resident taekwondo expert and teacher.

His ability to break boards, perform jumping and spinning kicks and endure rigorous physical testing, which include multiple series of push-ups, has given Di Leta the fortitude to exercise the art as someone well beyond his years might.

The skills he’s picked up have helped him in school and various other aspects of his young life. That includes trap shooting, a sport introduced to him by his grandfather Sal.

“[It teaches me] how to defend myself, my flexibility, my speed, my listening and focus and also my stamina and reaction time,” said Mason.

Di Leta’s introduction to the martial arts couldn’t have come more innocuously.

“One day I was just sitting at home and

[my grandparents] said ‘Mason, come on’ so I just went in the car and they took me to this place called ‘taekwondo’,” said Di Leta.

And its seeming differences from traditional North American team or individualized sports aren’t barriers to entry for the Annunciation student.

“It gets you really into the sporting mood. Some kids, they won’t do sports because it conflicts with their time in their schedule to do other things, like hang out with their friends. But taekwondo – it gets you disciplined and improves your flexibility ... so it keeps you really active all the time,” he said.

Sal likes to practice with his grandson’s reaction time when the two of them go trap shooting, and Sal credits Mason’s extraordinary ability to locate and shoot down the discs almost relentlessly to Mason’s disciplined and studious training in taekwondo.

It will be another couple years before Di Leta can try for his third-degree black belt, but he’s already well on his way.

“I train at home, and whenever I can,” he said.

“I want to be there in the Summer Olympics in taekwondo very soon.”

The score may have seemed worse than the week before, but there were more than enough encouraging signs for the Prince Rupert Seawolves Legion PeeWee rep team last Saturday when they took on the Terrace Kermode Peewees in an exhibition contest.

For starters, the squad managed to pot a pair of goals past Terrace’s stalwart defence, which is two more markers than they had in their game, a 5-0 loss to the Kermodes.

“This weekend, there were some big improvements,” said coach Derek Northcott.

“We had a couple breakdowns which ended up in our net and we’ve got to work on that but that’s what practice is for.”

Despite falling 10-2, the Seawolves gave their first home audience of the year quite a show.

The highlight of the day was the teams’ power-play, which cashed in on two chances out of three opportunities.

First, Brad Larose pounced on a loose rebound in front of Terrace’s yawning cage on the Seawolves’ first power-play opportunity just over three minutes into the second period to cut Terrace’s lead at that point to 3-1.

“Our defence took a shot and I picked up the rebound and did a spin-o-rama and scored,” said Larose after the

game.Devin Laliberte and Jack Brevin

split netminding duties during the game and both goalies made some superb saves to keep the Seawolves’ momentum going.

Laliberte’s glove stops and Brevin’s diving efforts to stop many short-side wraparounds won applause from the pro-Rupert crowd.

Nolan Stava helped the Seawolves score their second goal of the game as he dove into a loose puck in the crease to tip it over the goal line.

Ethan Toye was the speedster through the neutral zone on more than one occasion as the forward had numerous zone entries with possession of the puck – something that was quite hard to do against a strong, imposing Kermode defence.

Nick Pirillo and Ben Northcott formed a formidable defensive pairing for the squad, while Ferrin Collins and Arlen Deschamp had a nice give-and-go play in the third period that almost resulted in a third goal from Rupert.

Collins, Larose and Deschamp were a threat most of the time they were on the ice.

“We’ve got a power line and another line [we can use] and we could skate up the ice, cut wide and take a shot,” said

Larose.Brodie Melanson and Colby Duffus

were frequently patrolling the blueline against Terrace’s top weapons, including the big centreman Aaron Funk, who scored multiple times against Rupert.

The Prince Rupert Minor Hockey SeaWolves’ total participant list has just surpassed the 200 mark on the cusp of the 2014/2015 season, after sitting at 196 last week.

After a slow start in the number of entrants, the totals have increased in the 11th hour as more families find the funds to join the program and the public education-government dispute comes to a close.

“We’re looking pretty good,” said minor hockey head coach Gary Coons.

“Just the other day I had two people call me – their kids aren’t involved in hockey and they moved to town and want to get involved so I’ve been getting some emails and calls. There’s going to be a midget [division] rep team, a bantam rep team and a peewee rep team; so we’re going to be fielding those. Last year there was no bantam

rep team.”There will be no house league for midgets –

just the rep team because of low numbers.“There’s about 16 or 18 kids registered ...

they’ll organize whatever they need to do – some exhibition games — when they’re not playing in the rep leagues,” said Coons.

Minor hockey is looking for volunteers who may like to help out here and there, especially with the older divisions. Most of the head coaches are already in place. They can contact Coons at [email protected] or the Sea Wolves at [email protected] and will need to submit to a criminal background check and a “respect in sport” online course.

Initiation “A” and “B” sessions will still run for kids aged four to six who are willing to learn how to skate and play hockey. Some children who already know the fundamentals may be placed in the second-year “B” division immediately.

TDRA’s last raceBY KEVIN CAMPBELL PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

After having their last few events cancelled, the Terrace Drag Race Association (TDRA) have confirmed a late-September meet for a season-ending weekend points race.

Friday, Sept. 26, Saturday, Sept. 27 and Sunday, Sept. 28 are the go-ahead dates for the association with Friday night hosting the street-legal races similar to the races the club successfully hosted earlier this summer. Gates at the Terrace Airport open at 6 p.m. and racing starts at 7 p.m.

Time trials and bracket racing will be held on Saturday and Sunday starting at 10 a.m., races to be scheduled under the points series.

Terrace Drags were originally scheduled to host a race weekend from Sept. 6-7 as well as mid-August, but both meets were never realized. Hot August Nights was the last time Terrace Drags and the North Coast came together at the Terrace airport.

Season begins for minor basketball


Basketball season is back and Prince Rupert Minor Basketball (PRMBA) has four divisions raring to play.

The youngest, Grades 3-4 division, will play at 10:30 a.m. on Saturdays, with the Grades 5-6 players taking the court right afterwards at noon. The higher level Grades 7-8 squads will play from 1 p.m. until 2:30 p.m. on Sundays and Grades 9-10 will hit the court from 2:30 p.m. until 4 p.m.

Current team rosters are being finalized by coaches and PRMBA sponsorship coordinator Mike Cavin and president Gerard Dolan.

To get involved, parents can contact Dolan at 250-627-4280.

We want to start preparing today for the opportunities that will come with building our Westcoast Connector Gas Transmission Project.

Let’s Talk at our upcoming Business and Employment Information Sessions:

BY SHAUN THOMASPRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

Despite seeking and receiving a 45-day extension with the B.C. Environmental Assessment Office (BCEAO), Pacific NorthWest LNG remains confident of making a final investment decision on its proposed Lelu Island terminal by the end of the year.

“We felt it was really important to add 45 days to the BCEAO process to ensure we had all of the necessary information and feedback. It still allows a decision to be made by year’s end ... and it is one way that we hope to show we are listening to the community,” said president Greg Kist during a Sept. 17 Prince Rupert and District Chamber of Commerce meeting.

“When we complete this it will be one of the most efficient LNG terminals in the world in terms of carbon dioxide emissions per tonne of liquefied natural gas.”

While making changes to the terminal as a result of feedback gathered during public consultation, including raising the height of the bridge connecting to Port Edward and the height of the jetty trestle to accommodate marine traffic, Kist said the final design of the terminal has yet to be determined.

“Capital costs around the world

continue to rise and we felt one way of addressing that was to keep the process competitive. Right now we have three firms designing three terminals. They will bid those designs and one will be chosen as part of the final investment decision,” he said.

“We have three designs that we would be comfortable building and now it is just a commercial decision.”

As for the commercial side of the business, Kist said interest remains high as Petronas gears up for a decision at the end of the year.

“We have sold two-thirds of the volume of this project and when you talk about projects proceeding, you need customers,” he said.

“Petronas is currently running 22 drilling rigs in northeast B.C., so it’s not

about waiting for this project. Petronas is spending a significant amount of money to prepare as we approach a final investment decision.”

With 4,500 construction jobs and 330 operational jobs to be created by the project, along with an anticipated 300 spin-off jobs, Kist said the construction of Pacific NorthWest LNG would be a major economic driver for the province.

“This is a tremendous opportunity for this province, this community and this country. When we talk about a $36 billion investment, that just gets you the first cargo of LNG being shipped,” he said.

“In our view, this is an all-in-B.C. Project, from the upstream production to the terminal.”

Terminal timeline unchanged Terminal timeline unchanged CAPP comes tours region

BY SHAUN THOMAS PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

The Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers (CAPP) spent the last week visiting communities and elected officials in the Northwest to discuss energy development in the province.

“We do represent the upstream industry and we recognize there is a great opportunity for LNG and people have some questions and would like to learn a little bit about how the upstream operates ... we’re trying to have a conversation about the upstream components that enter an LNG pipeline and would feed any future LNG facility,” said CAPP’s manager of B.C. operations Geoff Morrison.

“It’s not an industry that is active in the Northwest. In the same way people in the Lower Mainland or Ontario wouldn’t think significantly about how those products are developed or be actively involved in it, we’re finding the same. It’s a new industry.”

While acknowledging opposition to development in the region, Morrison said he is confident with the industry’s record.

“Obviously people have environmental concerns. We think we have a good safety process and a good track record, but people haven’t been exposed to that so we want to have that dialogue and find out what the questions are ... there are some things we hear that we haven’t heard before.”

Entrepreneurs mark graduation


Aboriginal entrepreneurs from around the Northwest have been equipped with the knowledge and skills it takes to start their own businesses, thanks to the Northwest Aboriginal Canadian Entrepreneur (NW-ACE) Program.

The NW-ACE Program is put on through a partnership between the University of Victoria’s Peter B. Gustavson School of Business, the Tribal Resources Investment Corporation (TriCorp), Northwest Community College (NWCC), the First Nations Technology Council, the BG Group and Spectra Energy, stemming from the vision of TriCorp’s chief executive officer Frank Parnell in response to the economic opportunities forming in Northwest B.C.

During the evening of Sept. 19, a graduation ceremony was held in honour of the most recent group of aboriginal entrepreneurs to complete the program that started back in March.

Seventeen of the 18 students to participate in the 2014 NW-ACE Program received certificates formally recognizing them as alumni of the Peter B. Gustavson School of Business, with 13 of the graduates accepting them at the ceremony from the business school’s dean Saul Klein.

Students who attended the ceremony also

shared their business concepts and how the program has helped to develop them.

“I knew I had a dream, I just didn’t know how to go about making it a reality,” said a program participant from Moricetown.

Spanning over six months, the first half of the program consists of classroom skill-based curriculum led by Cory Stephens, along with 10 additional Peter B. Gustavson School of Business faculty members who provided students with insight and theoretical knowledge of entrepreneurship. There also were a number of guest speakers.

During the second half of NW-ACE students tested what they learned in the Prince Rupert business community and were also paired with mentors with expertise in their field of choice.

Near the end of the program, students were group together for a final project in which they are provided with $1,000 by TriCorp to start a small business venture in Prince Rupert, on top of individual presentations on final business concepts to a panel of professional bankers acting as a judging panel.


Thirteen of the 18 most recent NW-Ace students received certifi cates formally recognizing them as alumni of the University of Victoria Peter B. Gustavson School of Business on Sept. 19.

NSCU aids teachersBY ROD LINKPRINCE RUPERT / Black Press

Northern Savings Credit Union (NSCU) has been easing the financial strain on its members affected by the teachers’ strike.

Building on a program brought in when the forest industry here collapsed more than a decade ago, qualifying members can either postpone payments, consolidate debts or take other measures,

said NSCU official Sharon Stromdahl.

“We recognize that for some, it may be awhile yet before they see a paycheque,” she said last week.

“We evaluate each on a case-by-case basis.”

The strike, which kept schools closed for three weeks this month, was the longest in public school history in B.C.

Teachers lost pay estimated in the $7,000 range.

A boost in business is on the horizon for the North Coast and Canada with the first part of the Ridley Island Road, Rail and Utility Corridor Project nearing completion.

The purpose of the Road, Rail and Utility Corridor is to support proposed developments at the site, including a potash export terminal and liquified natural gas facility, while also attracting prospective business ventures. The project’s completion will allow those plans to become reality and will increase capacity for existing tenants.

“The completion of the project will mean a Ridley Island industrial site that is equipped to a world class standard for future terminal development. Basically it connects the Ridley Island that was to the Ridley Island that will be within the next few years,” explained Michael Gurney, manager of corporate communications for the Prince Rupert Port Authority (PRPA).

Phase one of the Ridley Island Road, Rail and Utility Corridor Project consists of constructing three inbound and two outbound tracks for coal, potash and other developments, along with two additional tracks forming a loop around the main part of Ridley Island and one new track extending off the rail loop toward Ridley Terminals.

“Work is wrapping up, and the rail is now being laid at the site. It will likely continue through to early-November. But essentially the rail bed and roadway bed are completed,” said Gurney.

“There’s some additional work to complete with the electric power that is connecting the road rail utility corridor around the island, but the bulk of the work that remains is laying rail.”

The project was expected to cost $90 million, with the Province of B.C. and Government of Canada contributing $15 million each, along with $30 million apiece from CN Rail and the Prince Rupert Port Authority. However, this could change.

“The project, throughout its duration, has been both below budget and ahead of schedule. We anticipate that will hold until the end, but until the numbers are tallied it’s hard to say what the final price tag is,” said Gurney.

Construction started in March of 2013, with hundreds of jobs being created throughout the first part of the Ridley Island Rail, Road and Utility Corridor Project.

“This has been a remarkable opportunity for some hardworking joint-venture companies with a lot of local employees to work together to affect a mammoth project. We’re very proud of them and they should be very proud of their work,” said Gurney.

BY SHAUN THOMAS QUEEN CHARLOTTE / The Northern View

Despite concerns raised by the plant operations manager of the Queen Charlotte Hospital, there will be no free ride when it comes to recycling in the area.

The Skeena - Queen Charlotte Regional District (SQCRD) received a letter from Cairns Ives expressing frustration with having to pay for recycling following the installation of a recycling depot in the community.

“The Queen Charlotte Hospital for years has tried to follow a green approach and reduce our carbon footprint. Now, as a reward, the SQCRD is charging us $30 every time we show up at your doors,” he wrote, noting the hospital should be exempt.

“A business is an enterprise that charges a service and in return makes a profit. As far as I can tell, the health care system has been hemorrhaging money for decades and is far from profitable. I wonder if food banks and churches are considered a business as well under your billing schedule?”

Noting that a fee was mistakenly put in place before a bylaw amendment had been made and that those incorrectly charged had been refunded, SQCRD administrator Joan Merrick said hospitals and churches do not qualify for exemption under the regional district’s policy.

“The board does have a policy of not waving fees for non-profits and, I feel, that is a just policy. The board can be sympathetic to churches, hospitals and non-profits, but if they don’t pay then it falls back onto the taxpayers,” she explained, with director Des Nobels agreeing with keeping the policy in place.

“They are expecting residents to pick up the tab for their recycling and that is unacceptable,” he said.

The board moved to simply receive the letter, but not before Queen Charlotte Mayor Carol Kulesha expressed her opposition to any such fee.

“He speaks for a lot of people and I have seen a lot of small business people explode, saying this is yet another fee they have to pay,” she said.

“I don’t agree with the direction we went, but it is the direction we have gone.”

“They are “They are expecting expecting

Claims legislation ineffective in controlling ferries

Ferries critic blasts poor service

BY SHAUN THOMASHAIDA GWAII / The Northern View

Provincial transportation and ferry critic Claire Trevena was on the North Coast last week to hear from people about what impact changes to ferry service is having on their lives and the North Island MLA pulled no punches when it came to BC Ferries.

“The reason I organized this trip to be here on the ground is because my email box is full and my colleague Jennifer Rice is dealing daily with businesses that are struggling because of the increased costs and the service changes ... it’s not just impacting tourism, it’s impacting the community economy and community opportunity. We live in coastal B.C. and we need to have that access to the rest of B.C. and our goods and services need to have that access,” she said.

“The losses to the province over the past 12 years with what has happened with BC Ferries is staggering. It is a sign of economic incompetence that this has been allowed to happen. I really am stunned by the fact that

the government has allowed this to happen.”

With another fare increase scheduled for April and discussions with BC Ferries taking place about the next set of performance terms, Trevena said the province would be wise to “pay heed” and “demand a freeze in fares”.

“I think even freezing fares at the current level is leaving them too high. If we are freezing fares we need to look at what level we are freezing them at and how long we can keep them down there,” she said, noting the ferry system needs to be looked at as part of the province’s infrastructure.

“We’re paying not just for operating costs but for capital costs ... they have to be investing in things like docks and making sure the fleet is renewed, refitted, safe and operating, but don’t download these costs

directly on the user. You don’t have BC Transit downloading the cost of its compressed natural gas fleets and every single new interchange and depot down to the user, but on BC Ferries it all comes back to the user.”

Part of the problem, she said, is the ineffectiveness of the current legislation that created a quasi-private model for BC Ferries.

“What is very clear is that the Coastal Ferry Act, which has been in place since 2002, does not work ... it is supposed to distance government from interference with the daily operations of BC Ferries. It was put up clearly that government was going to be hands off and BC Ferries was its own operator, but what we have seen increasingly and particularly under this new minister is not just hands-on but hands right inside day-to-day meddling,” she said.

“Let’s be honest, government has a role to play in BC Ferries and it should have a role to play in BC Ferries.”

NDP ferry critic Claire Trevena says the current ferry system simply doesn’t work.

BY KEVIN CAMPBELL PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

A suspected broken water main struck Fraser Street over the weekend, sending a current of excess water trickling down the road and into the sewers nearby.

While no residences or businesses immediately close to the area had been affected as of Monday morning, the City of Prince Rupert looked to address the issue as soon as possible.

“It might have busted with the age of the pipe,” said Prince Rupert public works

official Garin Gardiner.“We’re aware of it and we’re

hoping to get there either [Monday] or [Tuesday].”

The main was just one of a few items that became

problematic for the city, said Gardiner.

“We had a couple leak problems come up over the weekend, so it’s a priority,” he said.

Regional district backs revenue sharing allianceBY SHAUN THOMASPRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

The Skeena – Queen Charlotte Regional District has expressed its interest in joining a group of northwest municipalities looking to get a fair share of revenue associated with industry development in the region.

Northwest B.C. Resource Revenue Sharing Alliance chair Bruce Bidgood outlined the rationale for the formation of the organization during the Sept. 19 meeting, saying getting money from the province is critical to keeping up with the demand on municipal resources.

“We can’t do it ourselves. We need an influx of cash to address the infrastructure deficit we face ... cooperation is the only mechanism through which we will all benefit. Through cooperative negotiation it won’t just be the one or two lucky

communities that have an LNG terminal, it will be everyone in the Northwest who benefits,” he said, noting the stakes are high despite the early stages of the process.

“What we have is a commitment to negotiate. We haven’t agreed on anything yet, but we have agreed to sit down and talk ... reasonably I think we could expect between half-a-billion dollars to north of $1 billion.”

During the discussions with the province, Bidgood said the group will take the lead from a consortium of northeast municipalities that negotiated a revenue sharing agreement in 2005.

“Since they couldn’t tax the development outside of their boundaries, they were given a grant-in-lieu and the argument they used was great ... they said ‘we don’t want our lack of infrastructure to be a burden on industry. We don’t

want our lack of roads or water or sewer or aging facilities to play a role in industry choosing not to come here’,” he explained, adding that revenue sharing would help secure the future of the region.

“We need to stop just fixing infrastructure and create a capital replacement account ... we need to do this for our residents and our community.”

While the format of the revenue sharing between the province and the alliance has yet to be determined, Bidgood said one thing is clear — this isn’t about simply holding a hand out for help from government.

“We don’t want to be welfare recipients, we want to be business partners and we want our cut the same as any partnership in business would have,” he said.

“Our boom and bust economies are not acceptable to municipal governments

or to the people of the Northwest.The idea of the Northwest B.C.

Resource Revenue Sharing Alliance found strong support among board members.

“The board is definitely interested in participating in this alliance,” said chair Barry Pages.

“I really like that this is going beyond LNG because a lot of resources have come out of the Northwest and we don’t get a lot from it,” added Anna Ashley.

“We could expect “We could expect between half-a-billion between half-a-billion

dollars to north of dollars to north of $1 billion”$1 billion”

Municipalities look to keep up with development


Water pours on to Fraser Street from a broken water main.


Water main breaksWater main breaks

BY JEFF NAGELVANCOUVER / Black Press

The growing popularity of “vaping” with electronic cigarettes instead of smoking tobacco is among the topics up for debate this week at the Union of B.C. Municipalities (UBCM) convention.

Harrison Hot Springs has a resolution before the annual gathering of mayors and councillors that calls on the province to regulate the use and sale of e-cigarettes and similar vaporizers.

Health officials fear e-cigs are too easy for children to get and that, while they may reduce the damage of smoking for nicotine addicts, they act as a gateway into smoking for others.

The B.C. Healthy Living Alliance argues there’s inadequate research on health risks from toxins or potential nicotine poisoning from inhaling the vapours.

It wants the same restrictions on smoking and tobacco sales slapped on e-cigarettes, so they can’t be sold to minors, advertised or used in public places where smoking is banned.

Their use to defy public smoking bans risks unravelling a “powerful deterrent to tobacco use” and could “lead to renormalization,” says the alliance, whose members include UBCM, health authorities and other organizations.

It also recommends a ban on candy and fruit flavours that appeal to youth, enforced standards for the “e-juice” liquids and that e-cigarettes look different from traditional ones.

The battery-powered devices are also sometimes used to discreetly ingest cannabis instead of smoking marijuana.

Several other public safety issues are also before UBCM this year.

Lower Mainland cities are also jointly calling for the province to retool its latest reform of the B.C. Ambulance Service to create a new integrated emergency response service that includes

firefighters.They say their fire department first

responder costs have climbed due to the provincial decision not to send ambulances speeding to as many calls with lights and sirens – a change that’s left many patients waiting much longer.

The province contends the downgrading of less urgent calls has enabled faster, priority response to the most serious emergencies.

Burnaby wants UBCM delegates

to vote to oppose Kinder Morgan’s proposed Trans Mountain oil pipeline twinning. The city is fighting the pipeline company’s attempts to access Burnaby parkland for route design.

Other issues on the agenda:• A call from Victoria for the province

to share any gains in liquor tax it reaps through looser liquor policies to bolster liquor licence inspections, addiction treatment, policing and late night transit service.

• A Maple Ridge call for the province to set up sobering centres for the severely intoxicated to reduce pressure on local first responders.

A call from New Westminster for Ottawa to accelerate the phase-out of older substandard tanker train cars and that they immediately be banned from carrying dangerous goods. The least crash resistant DOT-111 tankers have already been pulled from dangerous goods service.

Honda Fit goes big but in a smaller packageThe subcompact segment in Canada had been a bit stale, until this past year, when we witnessed a number of new entries into this segment. In 2013, Nissan introduced the Versa Note hatchback and earlier this year Nissan followed up with the Mi-cra, the least expensive car on the market ($9,998). The latest entry is the Honda Fit, the only vehicle in this com-petitive class to come with an amazing array of seating options that make it a wonder-on-wheels. LooksIn an age where most cars get bigger from one generation to the next, Honda has bucked the trend and actually shaved 41mm off the overall length of this new 2015 Fit, but improved interior volume. The way they achieved this is by stretching the wheelbase and shortening the front and rear overhangs. This move also helped in the styling department by producing more of a wedge front surface with a sleeker front windshield. The Fit now looks longer, sleeker, and less top heavy. Priced from $14,495 - $22,595, the Fit, on paper, might not look as attractive as the top selling Hyundai Accent and Kia Rio. But when the buyer factors in the versatility of this vehicle and the fact it has the highest retained value in this class, according to Canadian Black Book, it can offer good value.InsideAs attractive as the new exterior is, the interior has always been the real story. There is no other car in the subcompact, or even the compact class, that has the same functionality and flexibility. This

new 2015 has 79mm of additional rear seat room, the largest cargo area, class leading passenger volume and more front shoulder room than its competitors. That’s all good stuff but the design of the rear seats and car-go floor make all of that room even more useful. Honda has what they call Magic Seats: an

outrageously simple rear seat design that allows the seat bottom to flip up, making the rear seat floor accessible to store large or tall objects. This would be a great place to transport a dog, almost like a kennel on wheels. Since the fuel tank is placed under the front seats instead of the typical location under the rear cargo floor, this allowed the designers to lower the rear floor offering a much deeper cargo area. Combine this with the ability of the rear seats to fold, plus the front passenger seat to be re-clined to help transport extra long items the Fit has the space race won.DriveHonda has a new line of engines it calls Earth Dreams, a less than subtle mocking of Mazda’s Skyactiv. The essence of this new engine technology is taking variable valve timing and direct injection, plus a lighter design to help in power delivery and fuel consumption. The new 1.5L engine has eleven per cent more power, at 130hp, plus more torque at 114 lb.-ft. but is 27 per cent lighter than the old engine. The power goes to either an all-new 6-speed manual that is available on all trim levels or a new continuously variable transmission that expands the gear, ratio range by fourteen percent. What this means in

terms of drivability is a better jump off the line and improved highway cruising. Because the new transmission reduces weight and friction, the fuel economy has improved by 16 per cent, which is an amazing accomplishment in such a small car. Rated at 7.0L/100km in the city and 5.7L on the highway, using the much tougher 2015 fuel standards, this represents fuel number buyers will actually be able to achieve. In addition, the suspension has been improved for more responsiveness but I found the ride a bit choppy over bumpy roads.VerdictThere is so much to talk about with the Honda Fit from space to design and new engineering; it is easy to overlook the creature comforts that have been added. There is now a height adjustable drivers seats, a standard 5-inch LCD screen with backup camera and Bluetooth all on

the base $14,495 DX trim. Move up one step to the $17,295 LX trim and Honda includes a huge 7-inch touch-sensitive Display Audio system and heated front seats (my favourite). There is also the $19,195 EX trim with alloy wheels, paddle shifter and moon roof, but the big news is the inclusion of the $21,295 EX-L Navi trim. This is the EX trim with leather and navigation, making the fit downright opulent. This isn’t the least expensive car in this class but on the whole it offers so much more than just a price point. This car is all about smart money.

The 2014 Honda CRV could be the go-to vehi-cle to get everything on your to-do list done.Looks:Redesigned in 2012, this CRV continues to receive awards for design, practicality, and function. Very clean bo-dylines, swept back rear windows with taillights that contour the body. The new shape gives the appearance of a tall stance but the ground clearance remains the same. The three-bar grille looks very good and I like how it cuts into the headlights. In The Cab:The cabin is surprisingly spacious and comfortable. All the gauges are well defined and easy to reach. The LX comes with a 6-way manual adjustment driver’s seat that is heated. The EX-L and Touring edition comes with a 10-way power adjustable with power lumbar support and the rear seats on all models are 60/40 split that easily folds down independently to provide more cargo space. LX and EX models feature a 160-watt AM/FM/CD audio system with MP3/Windows media audio playback with four speakers. The EX-L and Touring models have a 360-watt premium audio system with seven speakers and MP3/ Windows media playback compatibility with a subwoofer, the Sirius XM satellite radio is available with a subscription. The intelligent multi-information display features a SMS text messaging function for compatible cell phones. This feature can read incoming texts aloud over the audio system. Safety first:Safety features on the CRV including; front side air bags with passenger side occupant position detection system, dual stage, dual threshold front airbags. Child-proof rear doors, active front seat head restraints, three point rear seat belts, three-point height adjustable front seat belts, security alarm, side curtain airbags, and immobilizer theft deterrent system. All models receive a multi-angle rearview camera with a five-inch

multi-information display. The camera shows a top view, 130-degree view or 180-degree rear view when in reverse.Power:The engine is a 2.4 litre, 16 valves, DOHC, I-VTEC 4 cylinder that produces 185 hp and 163 lb ft of torque with a five-speed automatic transmission, a very reli-able combination for this size of vehicle. Front-wheel drive is standard on the LX and EX models with the option to upgrade to real-time four-wheel drive, while the Touring edition comes standard with real-time four-wheel drive. Hill-start assist helps prevent the vehicle from backwards when it is stopped on a hill. Econ-

mode comes on with a push of the button, this makes the engine and other non-essential functions go from efficient to ultra-efficient. Roadworthy:The CRV’s steering is very responsive and the vehicle is very agile when it comes to manoeuvring in tight areas. You can pull into tight parking areas with ease and backing up is a breeze.Verdict:The CRV is a very stylish and aerodynamic crossover vehicle, versatile enough to provide fun for the whole family.

Ford’s top Car-toonist draws for real

Distracted cycling

Witnessed in Kelowna:

Helmet-less teenager riding his bike the wrong way in a bike lane, not holding the handlebars because he needed hands to hold the cell phone he was using at the time and give me the finger with his other hand as I passed shaking my head at his stupidity!

What drives-u-crazy?

[email protected]

Studio 2000x is a fully-fledged movie-making animation department that’s buried deep in the bowels of Ford’s headquarters in Dearborn, Michigan. Jeffery (Jeff) Nowak heads a ground-breaking small group of dedicated Animators/Auto Designers who are playing an increasingly important role in product development at Ford and changing the way cars are created.Jeffery Nowak talked recently about his unique line of work, while he was here attending the SIGGRAPH Confer-ence and Exhibition at the Vancouver Convention Centre. The conference attracts professionals worldwide from the computer graphics, visual effects, gaming, science, robotics and movie industries.“Our animations are cinematic in that we try to convey the message within a product and express ‘the feel’ of that vehicle, as best we can,” said Nowak. “We’re trying to create a reality, before a reality actually exists, yet achieve a level of realism. We live for that challenge and it’s very exciting and rewarding, especially in the artistic pursuit.”Designing a new automobile is a long and complex process that typically takes about two years, yet it still starts with a simple two-dimensional sketch. In the digital age, however, that sketch is done on a specialized computer tablet, as it’s easier and faster to then develop it into a 3D model. From there, an actual scaled-down clay or foam model can be produced. As they move ahead in this design decision phase, more complex 3D design themes are

explored and eventually a full-size clay model is produced.“What we’re seeing now is a whole new generation of tools that allow us to work more intuitively,” said Nowak. “The transition from hands-on sketching and hard clay sculpting tools to computer inputs was a challenge for some designers. Now we’re seeing a maturity of the technology to a point that these (digital) tools are becoming more like those organic tools again. Before Ford commits to producing expensive full-scale models, a lot of animation work is now performed. “This is my world,” affirmed Nowak. “We build a lot of complex visual experiences to allow all stakeholders within our company (Ford) understand what the embodiment of that proposal is and hopefully galvanize a common view or understanding of what that theme represents.” Animations created by the ten-person 2000x Studio team begin with a storyboard of proposed shots, just like a Hollywood or Disney movie. The images produced are in ultra-high defini-tion, known as 4K, which is four times clearer than commercial high-definition imaging, as there’s intense attention to detail of all facets of the vehicle – exterior, interior, proportions, stance, etc.“In addition to being a powerful internal communication tool, digital animation is also a great tool that we hand-off to our mar-keting organization,” said Nowak. “It also allows us to do more in the same amount of time. In the past, we might have only been able to do one design theme in a development time block. Now we can do ten, fifteen or even twenty design themes in that same time block.”Jeffrey Nowak has been with the Ford Motor Company for eigh-teen years and holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts in industrial design (transportation) from the College for Creative Studies. He holds more than 30 design patents with Ford Motor Company and is considered an industry leader in the field of computer-aided industrial design process and technology. And he’s a big admirer

of movie director/producer Michael Bay, who is best known for the Transformers movie series.
