Seiners needed to clear tsunami debris

By Alan Hale THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - There’s a debris field larger than BC in the Pacific Ocean and it’s floating straight for the west coast of North America.

The debris is from last year’s tsunami that devastated parts of Japan, and pieces as small as bits of styrofoam to large oil drums are already washing up on the shores of Haida Gwaii and with more of it coming every day.

Much of what the provincial government has said publicly about the arrival of debris seems to indicate that they are resigned to having to clean it up as it washes ashore.

But the Skeena - Queen

Charlotte Regional District isn’t convinced the province is doing much of anything, and what they are doing isn’t involving the communities which will be affected.

“Nothing is happening on this issue, discussion-wise,” says the chair of the regional district board, Barry Pages.

Not content to wait for the province to make up its mind on what to do, the regional district has an idea they want to pitch to the Premier: hire fishing boats to clean it up while it’s still out at sea.

“We have a very sizeable seine fleet left with nothing to do, and seining would be a very effective way of collecting this garbage,” says board member Des Nobles.

Not all of the Japanese debris is floating on the surface of the water, so the board thinks that seining would be an ideal way of cleaning it up. Seining works by dropping a weighted net which sinks several feet below the surface of the water, while buoys keep the top edge of the net on the surface. The boat lets out the net in a wide circle and then closes the net in on itself like pulling on a drawstring of a purse; catching everything inside the circle in the net.

Theoretically the boats could then haul the debris out of the water and unload it onto a barge that could ship it to a landfill.

“95 per cent of that debris is going to wind up in places where nobody lives, it’s going to make

one hell of a mess,” says board member Knut Bjorndal.

The North Coast has many seine boats owned by independent fisherman who can not get enough salmon quota to make it worth going out anymore, so not only would it be easier to clean it up at sea, it would provide employment to north coast residents.

“We have our Premier promoting jobs, jobs, jobs. This would be the perfect opportunity to create some jobs for people in industries where there haven’t been any, and to solve a problem at the same time. I honestly would like us to get a meeting with the premier about this, it’s that important,” says board member Anna Ashley.

Kemano tunnel plans remain at the planning forefront

By Malcolm Baxter THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

KITIMAT - Although the twinning of the Nechako ReservoirKemano tunnel has not been officially approved by the Rio Tinto Alcan board, RTA vice-president Paul Henning hopes initial work on the project can begin this Summer.

At present there is the original tunnel built in the 1950s and a half completed second tunnel - known as T2 - from the ill-fated Kemano Completion Project which was constructed in the early 1990s.

The plan is to complete T2 and connect it to T1 rather than the original plan which would have seen the former feed a second power generating set-up.

Henning said the project is currently in the permitting stage.

Application was made to Canadian Environmental Assessment which handed it off to federal Fisheries for what’s called a screening process.

He said they were in the final stages of that and he hoped it would be approved “very soon”.

Provincially, the company was seeking approval for reduced flows to the Kemano River that would result from the connection work over this and next Summer.

The province will also be looking at the company’s plans to dispose of the “spoil”, the rock excavated in com-

pleting T2.

Henning said that ideally RTA wanted to complete the connection work at the Kemano end before the new smelter fired up in 2014.

He explained that at the moment the existing plant was only using 50 per cent of the power being produced at Kemano - that’s because potlines have been closed down as part of the modernisation project (KMP) with the rest being sold to BC Hydro.

However, when the connection work begins, RTA will “switch off” the flow of power to the provincial utility and still have enough power to run what remains of the old smelter.

That work is expected to take two to three months in each of the next two summers.

When the connection is completed, RTA will re-evaluate phase two of T2 which would be to complete the halfbuilt tunnel connecting Kemano to the Nechako Reservoir.

“That can be done at any time because it doesn’t interfere with the new plant,” said Henning, adding, “The last thing we want to do is delay start-up of (KMP).”

The advantage of the set-up once completed is that there will be two tunnels feeding water to the existing two penstocks with a series of butterfly valves that would allow RTA to switch from one tunnel to the other if necessary..

“So it’s got much

PAUL HENNING greater flexibility in the future,” Henning said.

It would also be possible to use water from both tunnels at once

which would have the benefit of a marginal increase in power production via the existing generators.

Henning noted that some people seem a bit confused by the fact the new smelter will use more power than the old one yet RTA always touts the increased efficiency of the new technology that will be used in the KMP plant.

The answer, he said, is that the new plant will produce significantly more metal.

Henning explained the new smelter is being built to maximise usage of the guaranteed (firm)

amount of power produced at Kemano each and every day.

That’s about 700-720 megawatts and equates to about 420,000 tonnes of aluminum per annum.

In the past, the amount of firm power available was about 660 megawatts with a theoretical maximum metal production of 265,000 tonnes.

Put another way, Henning said, that translated to an extra 50 megawatts of power producing nearly double the current production.

Underlining the benefits of the new technology, he pointed out that

today the plant is using 20 units of power to produce a tonne of metal.

The new smelter will use only 13 units per tonne.

X X X X X In a normal year the current water level in the Nechako Reservoir would be described as on the low side.

But this, as Rio Tinto Alcan vice-president Paul Henning points out, this is anything but a normal year.

At one and a half times the average for the time of year, he said the amount of snowpack in the watershed is the highest he has seen in

his decade here.

And not only has not much of it melted yet, there was even fresh snow in places only two weeks ago.

Henning said therefore there is “a massive amount of water” yet to come into the reservoir.

Knowing that, RTA has been trying to manage water levels in the reservoir to ensure that when the freshet does come, there won’t be a need for a “massive release” through the Skins Lake spillway.

“This summer is certainly going to be a challenge for us,” Henning added.

Majority of speakers opt out of last week’s Enbridge hearing

By Alan S. Hale THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - Anger at the federal government was palpable at the Enbridge Joint Review Panel hearings held in Prince Rupert last week.

These hearings were the first opportunity for average residents to give their opinion on the Northern Gateway Pipeline project to the panel members without being constrained by the procedural rules that caused so much frustration for pipeline opponents when the panel first visited Prince Rupert in February. But the vast majority of people who signed up to speak didn’t bother to show up this time around.

Almost all of the speakers who did come to have their 10 minutes in front of the panel said that the Federal Government’s move to give cabinet itself final say over any decision the panel came to had robbed the review process of its credibility.

The measure is one of many in the Conservative’s loaded budget omnibus bill still making its way through the House of Commons. It would change the rules so that cabinet must give its approval if the National Energy Board decides to deny a project. Before, cabinet only needed to give approval if the regulator approved a project.

It’s a small change, but enough to shake pipeline opponents’ confidence that the panel’s decision will have any impact on the future of the project.

“I do not trust this Conservative government. They have undermined the integrity of this panel and the joint review process by declaring that the panel’s recommendations won’t really count,” Christina Nelson told the panel members.

“I believe that this has deterred many people who are opposed to the pipeline from giving their opinions...The perception is that the panel does not have the power to make any negative recommendations, so why would they want to waste their time coming forward?”

Nelson may be right. Out of the 189 people who registered to give a oral statement to the panel while they were in Prince Rupert, only 40 people actually did. What was supposed to be more than five days of hearings was reduced down to less than oneand-a-half.

“I’ve called many of these people myself to discuss why they’re not here, and I want you to know that due to the continuous onslaught of our

Federal Government, they feel that their voices are not valued and that there is no point in voicing dissent. I suppose that was the intention of Mr. Harper and he has succeeded,” said Prince Rupert city councillor Jennifer Rice, who gave the last presentation to the panel.

While there was plenty of anger for the Federal Government, speakers did voice their opinions on the project to the panel and none of them were positive.

One very common criticism of the project and Enbridge is the company’s record on spills. Speakers frequently cited the fact that between 1999 a n d 2008 t h e company has had 610 different oil spills, including the Jennifer Rice p i p e l i n e break t h a t poured 19,500 barrels of oil into the Kalamazoo River in Michigan in 2010.

Speakers argued that this record, coupled with the region’s penchant for landslides, shows that despite the company’s assurances of safety, leaks are inevitable. This would put all of the many tributaries the pipeline crosses in jeopardy and, by extension, the rivers and watersheds they feed into.

“The potential for ruining commercial, recreational and food fishing exists.

If this goes through we are waiting for a disaster to happen...With their track record it seems inevitable that northern BC will face a Enbridge oil spill along the Northern Gateway sometime in the near future,” Marc JosephPage told the panel.

Representatives from Enbridge and the Northern Gateway project attended the hearings, but were not allowed to respond to the assertions being made about their spill record during them. After the hearings ended, Enbridge representative Paul Stanway told the The Prince Rupert Northern View that the 610 figure is misleading.

Out of those 610 spills, says Stanway, only four were considered moderate to serious. The rest were actually quite minimal and easily cleaned up; often taking place inside a Enbridge Facility and being as little as only a cup of oil being spilled.

That said, the company understands why people are concerned, especially after what happened in Michigan.

Many First Nations speakers told the panel that the pipeline was threatening to destroy their entire way of

“...They feel that their voices are not valued and that there is no point in voicing dissent

life by tainting local seafood.

Many speakers were experienced sailors and fisherman who doubted the safety of the tanker route, particularly during the hurricane force winds that can occur out on the water.

Others pointed out that since bitumen is heavier than water it will sink, making traditional oil clean up techniques ineffective, and predicted that tarballs would be appearing on the north coast’s shores for years afterward.

“I know that any spill in our territory would be devastating to the environment; to all marine life, plants, birds and us as humans. The negative impacts of a spill is mind boggling and the ripple effect of this catastrophe would be extensive. Our environment is too important and we all have a responsibility to take care of it for future generations,” said Tsimshian Nation member, Joycelynn Mitchell.

Enbridge says that the risks associated with a spill are being vastly overstated.

“The rhetoric around a potential accident - which we think the chances of are extremely remote - has become incredibly inflated.

The idea that a single accident could destroy the entire environment of the north coast forever, that is just scaring people to death for no reason. That scenario is not even possible,” said Stanway.

For many speakers, the project just doesn’t offer the region much more than temporary construction jobs. The oil will be refined over in Asia instead of here in Canada, meaning that all the money that will be made from the pipeline will be made in Alberta and China while BC is left to clean up if something goes wrong.

“There are minimal benefits and monstrous risks,” said Ian Dobson.

Stanway admits that once a pipeline is in the ground, it isn’t a labour-intensive operation. But he says that BC can expect over 500 new fulltime jobs over the route of the pipeline, and not just a couple in Kitimat, which is what the speakers seemed to believe.

Speakers criticized the project because if a spill was to happen out at sea, Enbridge wouldn’t be legally responsible for it, the shipper would be. Many of them

Below: Outside the JRP hearings in Prince Rupert May 24 and 25, some residents brought a small coffin to the hearings and laid photos, words and symbolic objects of what they felt was at stake should the Enbridge Northern Gateway project be approved. saw this fact as serious lack of accountability for those who are pushing them into taking a big risk with their environment.

“If this project does go ahead – although I pray it does not – then I would fully expect all of Enbridge’s employees and people sign up and be first on the beach when the time comes to clean this. I want their children to suffer the same way that ours will. I don’t think it’s fair that we should bear all of the risk and then all of the health cost as well. It’s absolutely ridic-

ulous,” said Des Nobles, a member of the regional district board.

While Enbridge employees may not be bringing their children down to help clean up beaches, Stanway says the company is paying into funds meant to cover the cost of cleaning a spill. But he says that it is unreasonable to change the rules to hold Enbridge accountable for a marine accident when other industries do not face the same risk.

He says that Enbridge is just a transportation com-

pany, it doesn’t own the oil that would go through the pipeline. If there was a tanker accident, to hold it legally responsible would be like blaming CN Rail for containers that it delivered to the port falling off their ship at sea. Changing the rules to target them specifically would be unfair.

These were the last hearings to be held in Prince Rupert for now. The formal hearings when both sides will be able to argue the specifics of the project plan will begin in the coming months.

City decides to have another unsightly residence torn down

By Alan S. Hale THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - Prince Rupert city council has decided the rundown duplex at 801 Fulton Street is a hazard and needs to be torn down to its foundation within 30 days.

The building has been the subject of complaints since last May and the city’s building inspector and the fire chief has found that not only is the building generally an eyesore, but the back part of it is falling apart and it needed to be boarded up since parts of it are not structurally stable and it was being used as a hangout spot by teenagers.

The City has been trying to work with the owners of the building Arvin and Kiran Bhai – who no longer live in the city

– to have something done about their building with little success.

“They did at one time talk to us and say that they would share the cost of a structural assessment with us, but that as far as we know that structural assessment was never performed and we have no indication it ever will be. And lately they have been unresponsive to all our attempts to engage them in a discussion about this building,” says the city’s corporate manager, Robert Gordecki.

While the cost of the building’s demolition will be charged to the Bhais, city staff are not optimistic they will get any money from them. The building sits on two different lots, one of which is already going to be sold in a tax sale, and the other is expected to follow

Hair is on the line for Bluey Days fundraiser PRINCE RUPERT - On June 9 the North Coast Health Improvement Society (or NCHIS) will once again be holding Bluey Days to raise money for equipment at the Prince Rupert Regional Hospital.

Traditionally, Bluey Days has been a fundraising event where participants make a fundraising goal and if they meet it they get their heads shaved. If they do not raise their goal, they still get a new hairstyle; their hair dyed blue.

The NCHIS has been working with Northern Health to find out what the needs in the community are, and have been pledging to raise funds for a Bone Mass Density Scanner, an enhanced form of x-ray technology that is used to measure bone loss, for the Prince Rupert Regional

“The North Coast Health Improvement Society has been working on getting the scanner in so that people don’t have to go out of town for scans.

And Northern Health has been letting us know about how training is coming for the new equipment,” said Lisa Letnes

of the society, who is also collecting pledges for the cause.

Over the past few months, three individuals, including Letnes, have been pledging for Bluey Days. This year, all three individuals pledging will be raising a set amount to either avoid getting a cra-

zy hairstyle or to get one.

Denise Lodge describes the death of her son Corey in 2005, and her efforts to restrict motorcycle horsepower for inexperienced riders at a news conference in Victoria on April 30.

Kitimat mother gets safety regs

By Cameron Orr and Tom Fletcher THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

KITIMAT - A Kitimat woman’s seven year mission to tighten regulations around motorcycle safety has been a success.

Denise Lodge has been campaigning for new rules since her son, Corey, was killed in 2005, a day after getting his learner’s licence. She’s been lobbying the government ever since, and formed a group called C.O.R.E.Y — Coalition Of Riders Educating Youth.

On April 30, the government announced new regulations and legislation, the first phase to be implemented June 1.

The new regulation means that riders will be required to wear helmets that meet Canadian and international safety standards. The minimal ‘beanie’style helmets will mean a $138 ticket.

By next riding season, phase two will be implemented, which will introduce regulations that limit the horsepower of motorcycles to new drivers, part of the graduated licensing program. “[I’m] totally thrilled with that,” Lodge told the Sentinel. She also spoke at the government’s April 30 news conference announcing the changes.

The new rules in B.C. are being modelled after Australia’s rules, she said.

The changes are welcome as there is a trend among motorcyclists of not following some rules, she said. For instance she noted that she has never seen a motorcycle that displayed its L decal.

“Did you know that half of motorcyclists don’t have a licence to ride a motorcycle?” she added.

In addition to not allowing ‘beanie’ helmets, riders must be able to put their feet on the bike’s pegs.

Not being able to do so will mean you can’t ride the vehicle, or face a ticket.

Children riding motorcycles while not reaching the pegs isn’t a problem that Lodge said she’s seen here in the north but committees working on these rule changes have seen it prominent in other areas.

The C.O.R.E.Y group’s focus will now be to see all of these changes through, and then after that focus on making sure young riders get the training they need.

Proper training and regulation limiting the power of motorcycles to new drivers possibly would have kept Lodge’s son alive.

Corey passed his learners test online and went out and after bought a high powered bike. He had his accident within the next 24 hours.

“He wasn’t able to navigate a turn,” said Lodge.

She spoke to that same subject at the April 30 conference.

“I kept saying, if only he didn’t have such a powerful bike,” she said in Victoria to reporters. “If he only had the training. If only he had experience.”

Bull-O BullO-Rama 2012 ‘Buck’ by popular demand KITIMAT - Hold on to your cowboy hats, the Bull-O-Rama is back for a fourth year at Tamitik Arena.

On June 9 it will be a full evening of action, with not only the thrills and spills of the rodeo itself but afterwards people can enjoy a dance with the live music of country singer Rick Stavely.

The day begins at 9 a.m. with a pancake breakfast at the arena. Doors open for the main event at 5:30 p.m., and the rodeo begins at 7 o’clock.

Prizes will be handed out at 9:30 p.m., right before the music starts.

The rodeo itself will be two rounds of professional bull riding, broken up with the chaos of a wild horse race. If judged by last year, this is not something to be missed.

The children will again have their opportunity to take part in the llama chase. A nice cash prize awaits those who are able to strip the coloured tags from the woolly beast.

Those wishing to participate in the chase will have to register at the arena on the night, and please bring a helmet!

This year’s rodeo clown is Tyson Wagner, who heralds from Saskatchewan and is the self-stylized funny man

of the rodeo arena. He has 10 years experience bull riding.

Profits from Bull-O-Rama are given to local worthy causes.

The Snowflake Community Fairgrounds Society, the group which puts together this event each year, will use the money raised to maintain and overhaul the Kitimat Fairgrounds, just outside of town.

It’s also worth noting that the society is now celebrating their 25th anniversary.

Bull-O-Rama will also be a fundraising platform for other groups, from the local animal shelter to the ice skating club, to dragon boat teams.

Like last year, a portion of the proceeds will be donated to the Kitimat General Hospital Foundation for health care services outside the reach of Northern Health’s current budget.

BC Hydro has big plans for northwest

By Staff Reporter THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

TERRACE - BC Hydro is contemplating everything from building new transmission lines to adding more renewable energy projects to meet a growing demand for power here. Topping the power demand list is the development of Kitimat into a liquefied natural gas (LNG) hub to feed Asian markets.

No cost estimates have been released yet but BC Hydro, based on current construction costs, could be looking at upwards of a $1 billion price tag.

Some details were released this week as part of a BC Hydro document outlining power demand and supply for the province for the next 20 years. The crown corporation’s Skeena Substation just south of Terrace and its Minette Substation near Kitimat will play key roles.

The Skeena Substation, for example, is a regional distribution point for power coming into the area via a 500kv line from the Williston Substation near Prince George. A variety of other lines then feed out from the

substation to communities around the region.

One of those lines connects the provincial grid to Kitimat but it’s incapable of providing sufficient power to two planned LNG plants at Kitimat, indicates a BC Hydro information provided earlier to the Kitimat-Stikine regional district and this week to city council.

One part of BC Hydro’s work plan to provide more power involves modifications on that existing 287kv line running to Kitimat.

“When more power passes through the conductors, they heat and sag,” explains a BC Hydro letter sent to the regional district.

“By replacing some of the poles with taller poles and recontouring the ground in some locations, BC Hydro will ensure the clearance between the lowest point of the conductors (wires) and the highest point of the ground is adequate,” the letter continues in outlining what’s called an interim solution.

In the past, BC Hydro might have been able to rely on surplus power from Rio Tinto Alcan’s Kemano hydroelectric generating facil-

new

ity but the company will need that power once it finishes rebuilding its Kitimat aluminum smelter.

BC Hydro’s longterm solution “will involve constructing one or more new transmission lines between Skeena and Minette substations. BC Hydro is studying various alternatives at this time.” An exact route needs to be set out and the size of the line has yet to be established.

BC Hydro’s northwest plans become even more substantial now that a third LNG plant plan has entered the picture. While BC Hydro estimates it can supply power to the Kitimat LNG and BC LNG plants from existing sources, that won’t be the case for the Canada LNG plant plan announced two weeks ago.

Canada LNG, a partnership of Shell and three Asian companies, is much larger than either of the first two LNG plants and the power requirements to compress natural gas to a liquid for export will not only require a new transmission line, but new power sources as well.

BC Hydro has al-

ready begun planning to finish its Site C hydroelectric project on the Peace River in northeastern B.C. in anticipation of the province’s future power needs.

“One option for meeting these future needs is a new 500kv line linking Williston Substation to Minette Substation for an approximate length of 500 km. New electricity resources would need to be added as well. Another option involves adding renewable energy projects backed up by natural gas thermal generation in northwest B.C. where LNG facilities are being proposed,” the letter states.

The prospect of using natural gas-powered turbines to provide the power to run the Shell/ Canada LNG plant has been acknowledged by Shell officials.

“Our preference is to power the plant with electricity from the B.C. grid vs. gas turbines which would significantly reduce the CO2 emissions,” says Shell official Rob Seeley in responding to questions about the project. “BC Hydro is studying their options to supply the needed power to north-

flying fish

west BC for a number of proposed LNG plants.”

But Seeley also indicates Shell will “continue to carry a gas turbine option in the event power needs cannot be met

by BC Hydro.”

“LNG facilities will need a reliable and consistent supply of electricity if they are to use electric drives,” continued Seeley. “One of BC Hydro’s options is to firm up regional power with gas turbine power.

Renewables could also then be considered in the regional power portfolio,” he states.

BC Hydro says it should know more about the exact demands for electricity at the Kitimat-area planned LNG plans by this fall.

Art Sterritt of the Coastal First Nations group earlier this year said it was working on a plan to develop hydro power on the coast but, as of yet, no details have emerged.

Another option to increase the flow of power from the Williston Substation to the Skeena Substation is to installing capacitor stations for the current 500kv line to compensate for the distance between the two substations.

New census data shows population on the north coast is getting older

By Shaun Thomas THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT -Stats Canada released information about age from the 2011 census on May 29, and it shows an aging population in communities across the north coast.

In Prince Rupert the median age was 39.4, up from 38.5 in the 2006 census.

In terms of a breakdown, the largest cohort is people between the age of 20 and 50

with 4,870 of the 12,510 people in town falling into that group, followed closely by the 4,295 people over the age of 50.

The population below the age of 20 is made up of just 3,345 people. The census shows that 80.8 per cent of the population is over 15.

The largest single age group in town is those 50-54 years old, with 1,100 people included. Men and women are about the same age, with the

median age for men 39.4 and the median age for women 39.3.

Port Edward is slightly older than Prince Rupert, with a median age of 41.9 and 81.1 per cent of the population over the age of 15.

In Masset the median age is 41.4, the median age in Queen Charlotte is 42.4 and the median age in Port Clements is the oldest community in the region with a media age of 47.7, up from 43.2 in

2006.

In Port Clements, 201 of the 375 people are over the age of 45.

The median age of the Skeena Queen Charlotte Regional District is 39.9, with the median age of men sitting at 40.4 compared to 39.5 for women.

In comparison, the median age in Terrace is 38.8, and the median age of the Kitimat - Stikine Regional District at 40.3.

Inv itation to Comment

Kutcho Copper Corp. (Proponent) is proposing to develop a copper-zinc-silver-gold deposit located approximately 100 kms east of Dease Lake and 390 kms north of Smithers in north-western British Columbia (proposed Project). The proposed Project would have a throughput of approximately 2,500 tonnes per day or 912,500 tonnes of ore per year.

The intention of seeking public comments is to ensure that all potential effects – environmental, economic, social, heritage and health – that might result from the Project are identified for consideration as part of the assessment process. At this stage of the process, the primary intent is to receive feedback about the studies or information required for a comprehensive environmental assessment.

The proposed Project is subject to review under British Columbia’s Environmental Assessment Act and the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act.

After taking public comments into account, the EAO will finalize the Application Information Requirements and issue them to the Proponent.

The Proponent must obtain an environmental assessment certificate before any work can be undertaken on the proposed Project. However, prior to submission of an application (Application) for a certificate by the Proponent, the Environmental Assessment Office of British Columbia (EAO) must first approve Application Information Requirements.

When used in a therapeutic setting, hypnosis can help clients deal with energy draining chronic pain and support growth in areas of their lives where they are finding it difficult to make health supporting changes.

With deep relaxation as its base, hypnotherapy is highly effective in replacing limiting beliefs and habits with more positive, growth supporting beliefs and choices that lead to healing and change.

It is commonly known for its effectiveness in weight management, smoking cessation, and relief from chronic stress, anxiety and phobias but hypnotherapy’s applications are as broad as the range of behaviours clients want to change.

Already a student in the Masters of Education Counselling program at the University of Northern British Columbia, Sissons jumped at the chance to add hypnosis to

her repertoire of counselling skills.

“I am delighted with the practice, “ says Sissons. “Hypnotherapy is a brief therapy.

It’s a powerful tool that helps people make positive changes in their lives in a remarkably short period of time.”

Nearing the clinic’s oneyear anniversary, each of them took a moment to stop and reflect on the satisfaction of creating a holistic healing business in Terrace.

“It is wonderful to be working together,” says Sissons. “The clinic feels like a healing space. People are continually impressed at the calm, welcoming atmosphere and the positive results.”

“For me, this work is profound and gratifying.

I learn so much from each patient. The best for me is to help with intractable chronic pain.”

To Rose, “it is just such a pleasure to know that this is where I work.”

Separate Your Business and Personal Expenses Separating business, home, and personal identity can be difficult for entrepreneurs. You have so much of yourself wrapped up in what you do for a living. Running a business tends to be all-consuming and it can be hard to tell where you stop and your business begins and, not just in terms of your emotional investment. Your personal and company finances can also get mixed together if you’re not careful.

There are benefits to keeping your business and personal finances separate. First and foremost, it legitimizes what you’re doing, not only in your eyes but in the eyes of other interested parties, including bankers and the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA).

Legitimate business expenses can be deducted from your business revenues to reduce taxable income. This means that if you keep detailed accounting records, and track the expenses you incur over the course of the year, you will never pay more tax than you have to. Of course, your expenses have to be legitimate and they have to be backed up with the necessary receipts and/or other documentation.

The second important benefit for making a clear distinction between your business and personal finances is that, you get an accurate and objective view of your business’ viability. You’ll never know if it can support both you and your goals in the short and long term if you don’t have an uncompromised picture of its finances.

It can be challenging to keep your business and personal finances separated, the following tips can help you: •

If you operate from your home, try to confine your work to one room or one area and keep that space exclusively for your business. This way, you can easily determine the percentage of housing costs to apply to the business. As much

as possible, find ways to clearly distinguish what belongs to the business and what doesn’t. For example, if you can, set up a separate business phone line or at least track your business telephone usage.

•

•

•

Set up a company credit card and use it for business expenses.

Remember, though, that the card is a tracking tool, not a source of financing. Interest on credit cards is too high to be using one to float your business.

Establish a filing system for your business receipts. Don’t throw them all in a shoebox and hand them to an accountant at the end of the year. The shoebox provides you with virtually no ongoing financial information. The least you should do is figure out the major expense categories that you have and, as your costs are incurred, file the invoices and receipts accordingly.

Then, once a month, enter the information into your revenue/ expense and cash flow statements.

Her extensive experience includes holistic planning, cash flow and budgeting, debt management, protection through insurance, retirement and income planning, and estate issues. As a member of her region office, she is backed by a team of professionals to ensure your needs, goals and wants are achieved.

If you use your car for business purposes, keep a log of the kilometers you travel for the business. You’ll be able to apply a percentage of your vehicle expenses against your business revenues at year end.

Don’t think you need to do it all.

Consult with your accountant to set up a system that makes sense for you.

However, it is critical to have enough financial understanding to tell if you’re making a profit, how your cash flow is doing, and how each area of your business is doing.”

EI changes could affect local ďŹ shermen

By Martina Perry THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT Late last week at a news conference held in Ottawa, Human Resource Minister Diane Finley announced a number of proposed changes to employment insurance, with some of the changes largely affecting fishermen around the country, including those living in Prince Rupert.

Under the proposed changes, EI recipients would be put into one of three categories: Long-tenured workers, those who have paid into the system for seven of the past ten years and collected EI for less than 35 weeks in the past five years - Frequent claimants, those who have made three or more claims and collected benefits for more than 60 weeks in the past five years - Occasional claimants, which includes every other EI recipient.

Frequent claimants, like fishermen, would be required to accept a larger range of jobs than long-tenured workers.

In most cases, people on EI would have to accept a job that is within an hour’s drive from their place of residence that pays within 70 per cent of their previous job.

Finley says that the proposed changes will be an incentive for unemployed Canadians to get back to work considering that currently EI pays recipients 55 per cent of their former wage.

Finley commented

that the objective of this isn’t to force people to take jobs that they are not suited for, but to connect Canadians to available jobs.

Christina Nelson, who is a member of the United Fishermen and Allied Workers’ Union in Prince Rupert, says that Finley was not clear on what these available jobs may be. “It’s far too open ended,� she said.

Also, EI recipients will receive two job alerts a day instead of the current system that shows recipients three job listings per week. “If there are six workers that are all very much the same, and there’s one job, how does that work?� asked Nelson. “We’re not sure how this all is going to pan out.�

Another concern Nelson has over proposed changes includes the large decrease in the number of appeal bodies that can review denied claims. “Getting rid of the appeal bodies and going to a new system of 74 individuals across the whole country seems unmanageable and with no recourse seems criminal to me,� she said.

The new potential changes also would discontinue employment insurance projects that have benefited the region, including Best 14 Weeks, where workers select their highest paid weeks of employment for a better benefit rate.

We agree.

Before making any changes to our current system, we’d like your input. We’re considering several options that may impact what you pay for your Basic insurance in the future. Your feedback will go into the final changes that we propose for fairer Basic vehicle insurance pricing.

HIV is a real concern within our communities. You can contract HIV primarily through unprotected sex and by sharing needles. HIV can live in your body for years without you knowing and all the while you can be passing it to others.

Customer ProďŹ ling: How to Hit the Target

The biggest issues in marketing are budget and message. If your target market is “womenâ€?, it’s going to be pretty hard to ďŹ nd a single, clear message that appeals to all of them. Since women come in an endless variety of shades and avours, with so many different interests, it’s almost impossible to ďŹ nd a mix of marketing and advertising media that could possibly reach them all. Well, unless you have an endless budget.

is likely to purchase, but until you actually get going and test the waters, it’s still only theory.

To market your product or service effectively, you need to know information or “the proďŹ leâ€? of the customer you want to sell to. Trying to lump everyone together simply doesn’t work.

The solution is to think truly targeted market, that small, hard to hit, sweet spot in the middle of the target (the bull’s eye). Let’s look at how to get started.

Fine Tuning the ProďŹ le

Once you have a few clients in your portfolio, you’ll begin to get a sense of whether your initial ideas were on the mark or whether you encountered some surprises along the way. As you adjust your focus based on the response you’ve received (i.e. sales), you move one ring closer to the bull’s eye.

It won’t take you long to build a larger database of clients to draw from, giving you an opportunity to get an even clearer, more speciďŹ c picture of who is buying your product or service.

Customer ProďŹ ling: How to Hit the Target (continued from previous page)

Kelly Ruff

You can gather a great deal of research and experience to take you most of the way toward hitting your customer proďŹ le target, but in the end the ďŹ nal decision is up to you.

Go Straight to the Source Ask your customers!

There is no better way to understand the unique characteristics of your customers and why they choose to do business with you than asking them directly. Find out what they like, what they don’t like, what’s working for them and what’s not. Put yourself in their shoes and learn what motivates their buying behaviour.

Niche Marketing There’s a good chance even with the more focused target market not all of your customers look exactly alike. That’s great news!

Now you get to take the ďŹ nal step and decide precisely which bull’s eye -- which sweet spot -- you want to hit.

Look at the shortlist of customer proďŹ les you have identiďŹ ed as likely prospects, which one do you want to spend your time, energy and marketing budget on?

For more resources on marketing your business go to www.womensenterprise.ca/resources. Women’s Enterprise Centre is the go-to place for women entrepreneurs all over BC. We provide business advice, loans, training, resources, and mentors to help women start, purchase or grow a small business.

With ofďŹ ces and business advisors throughout the province, we provide essential resources and services designed to build business capacity and fuel success.

Our professional team understands and relates to the unique circumstances of women business owners, providing tools and conďŹ dence through a supportive, individual and practical approach. Visit www. womensenterprise.ca for more information.

This article was written in collaboration with Liz Gaige, Market Navigators Consulting, www.marketnavigators.ca.

To make that decision, you’ll want to factor in the hard facts, such as which category of customer is most proďŹ table, with the human facts, such as which customers do you most enjoy serving?

She was predeceased by her parents Robert and Lena Scaife, sister May Scaife, brother Ed Scaife, and husband Andrew Fontaine.

Left to mourn are Darrell (Debra), Wayne (Xinchen), Gloria Mott (Larry), Neil (Sumiko), four grandchildren Aaron & Cameron Mott, and Calvin & Sarah Fontaine.

FirstCanada can no longer sustain the cost of running a service between Kitimat and the Terrace Airport. While many people believed that the service was subsidized, it was not. With the rising cost of providing the service and the lack of ridership, FirstCanada had to make a business decision on what to do with the service.

Therefore Saturday June 16 2012, will be the last service to the Airport as FirstCanada has decided to discontinue the Airport Shuttle Service between Kitimat and Terrace Airport.

We would like to thank all our loyal customers for their patronage over all the past years.

Ministry of Forests, Lands, and Natural Resource Operations Review of the Proposed McLymont Creek Hydroelectric Project Invitation to Comment on Development Plan Take notice that AltaGas Renewable Energy Inc. (Proponent) of Vancouver, BC has applied to the Ministry of Forests, Lands, and Natural Resource Operations (MFLNRO) for a new hydroelectric power project on McLymont Creek (proposed Project), located on Provincial Crown land approximately 100 km northwest of Stewart and 140 km southwest of Iskut, BC. The proposed Project would generate 55 to70 megawatts (MW) of energy.

The proposed Project includes a Crown land tenure that covers All That Unsurveyed Crown Land and Foreshore in the Vicinity of McLymont Creek and Iskut River, Cassiar District, Containing 1,841.49 Hectares, More or Less, and a Water Licence to utilize approximately 30 m3/s of flow and 61,600 m3 of storage for waterpower purposes. The proposed point of diversion for the project is located approximately 4.5 km upstream from the mouth of the creek. The proposed Project will require various other provincial authorizations including a timber cutting authorization for the Project footprint.

The file numbers that have been established for these applications are Land File: 6407684 and Water File: 6001068.

As a component of this project review, the Proponent was required to submit a Development Plan to the MFLNRO. The Development Plan should identify, assess, and address the impacts of the proposed project, as well as provide a detailed description of the activities related to project construction and operations. If the Development Plan is approved, then the Agencies will proceed with issuing the primary authorizations for the project, which will include a Water Licence for waterpower purposes and a Licence of Occupation for the general project area (described above). Secondary permitting for the project will occur closer to the construction/development phase. The MFLNRO has now received the Development Plan from the Proponent and invites your comments.

Written comments regarding the Development Plan should be directed to: Travis Anderson, AltaGas Renewable Energy Inc., 2500, 1066 West Hastings Street, Vancouver, BC, V6E 3X2 or by email at: Travis.Anderson@altagas.ca, with a copy of all correspondence provided to: Nancy White, Clean Energy Project Manager, Ministry of Forests, Lands, and Natural Resource Operations, Bag 5000, 3726 Alfred Avenue, Smithers, BC, V0J 2N0 or by email at Nancy.White@gov.bc.ca. Comments will be received until June 21st, 2012.

Please visit the MFLNRO applications website at: http://arfd.gov.bc.ca/Application Posting/index.jsp to view a summary of the Development Plan. Be advised that any response to this advertisement will be considered part of the public record. For more information, contact the Freedom of Information Advisor at MFLNRO regional office.

Relay set for weekend

By Martina Perry THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - Since its creation back in 2002 when 11 teams competed, the Skeena River Relay has steadily grown and maintained its popularity throughout the years.

This year, for the 11th annual relay being held on Saturday, June 2, there will be over 30 teams racing along Highway 16, running along the beautiful Skeena River.

“The Skeena River Relay is so popular because the scenery along the river is so unique. It’s much prettier than running in town,” said Carrie Coley, who along with Bonnie Repole are directing this year’s relay, attributing another reason for the steady popularity of the event to the fact that runners of all skills can partake in the race.

As per usual, the relay will begin in front of the Lester Centre of the Arts at seven a.m. on June 9, with teams traveling towards the Kitsumkalum Hall in Terrace. The races course will total 140 kilometers, with teams having to run ten stages all together, with varied lengths ranging from 10 to 21 kilometers. Teams will have a 12-hour time limit to complete the course. Altogether there are 32 teams competing this year, with groups coming from all over the region and province, coming

from as far away as Vancouver, Fraser Lake, Fort McMurray, Houston and Hazelton.

At four p.m. there will be a number of children’s activities starting at the Kitsumkalum Hall, including a bouncy castle, to help preoccupy any kids of racers or volunteers. There will also be draws and raffles starting at the same time and location.

After the relay is complete, there will be an awards gathering also being held at the Kitsumkalum Hall. The ceremony will be starting at 6:30 p.m. with dinner at seven. Dinner is included in race fee, but any non-participates can purchase tickets to attend.

Although it is too late for teams to register at this time, there are a few teams that are currently in need of a few more runners. Anyone who would like to join another team can contact Coley on her cell at 250-600-1438.

Additionally, as the relay covers such a large distance it is very dependant on volunteers to help everything go accordingly. The Skeena River Relay is still in need of volunteers to help manage the course, along with various other activities. Anyone interested in sparing their time to this popular event is encouraged to contact Sandy Jones at 250-624-5031.

The Skeena River Relay is sanctioned

by B.C. Athletics.

Jumping high…

TERRACE - Terrace Track Club high jumper Carly Davis practises in the Skeena Jr. gym May 23. Coach Dighton Haynes, one of several coaches, started the club so track athletes could practise for the summer games and provincials, since there are no extra-curricular sports due to the teachers’ job action.

The Marlin medalists from the swim meet. In the back row from left to right is Brander Pacheco, Arthur Firmino, Amanda Craft, and Kleanza Cathers. In the front row is Hayden Dobbin and Hannah Pearson.

KITIMAT - The Kitimat Marlins Swim Club hosted the Kitimat Marlins Invitational swim meet over the May 12 weekend. One hundred and twenty swimmers from Prince Rupert, Terrace and Smithers teams were in attendance making for some excellent competition and fast racing for the Marlins swimmers.

Leading the way for the Marlins was Kleanza Cathers (12). Kleanza became the third Marlins swimmer and first female swimmer in the region this season to qualify for Age Group Nationals in Calgary late July. She qualified in the 1500 meter freestyle breaking her own pool record she set just a month earlier at a time trial. Her time of 19:38 seconds was a full 2 minutes 40 seconds faster than her time at the beginning of the season. She will now join Kyler Cordeiro, and Arthur Firmino from the Marlins and two swimmers from Smithers as the only regional swimmers to make Nationals from the region this year. Cathers also broke the pool record in the 11-12 girls 200 backstroke with a time of 2:37.51.

The old pool record was held by Allison Barriscale of the Marlins from 1988 with a time of 2:43. Barriscale was one of the fastest Marlins ever. She still holds 11-12 Provincial Championships records in butterfly and went on to be a Canada Games medalist and Senior National Finalist.

Cathers took the gold medal in the 11-12 girls with a perfect 8 for 8 in swim event wins in the age group.

Alivia Salema (11) had a great 1500 meter freestyle with a time of 21:13. The time ranks her as the 10 fastest time for 11 year old girls in Canada this season. Her time would

have been much faster as well but unfortunately her swim cap came off 600 meters into the race and she had trouble seeing through her long hair. The time is still the highest ranking in the country of any Marlin this season. Salema went personal best times in all 8 of her events and went on to take the bronze medal in overall points for the 11-12 girls age group.

Arthur Firmino (18) lowered his own pool record in the 15 and over boys 50 meter breaststroke. The event he qualifies for Nationals in. Firmino went personal best times in all eight of his events on his way to a bronze medal for overall points in the 15 and over boys category.

Hannah Pearson (10) swam to all personal best times on her way to the bronze medal in the 10 and under girls category. It was Pearson’s first regional medal.

Other medalist for the Marlins were Paige Collier (14) gold in the 13-14 girls category. Brander Pacheco (13) silver 13-14 boys.

Hayden Dobbin (12) bronze in the 11-12 boys category and Amanda Craft (16) bronze in the 15 and over girls category.

The biggest one swim improvement for the Marlins came from Nickolas Cordeiro (13) with a whopping 37 second improvement in the 200 individual medley. Cordeiro went personal best times in all 8 of his races.

Other swimmers from the Marlins that got 100 per cent personal best times were Mattias dobbin (9), Hayden Fisk (10), Noah Groves (10), Madison Landry (10), Morgan Nichol (11), Brander Pacheco (13), Breanna Readman (15), Aveanna Rice (9), Gavin Thomopoulos (5) and Kemper Weightman (7).

The last regional swim meet of the season for the Marlins will be in early June in Terrace.
