The Federal Minister of International Trade, Ed Fast, and B.C. MLA Rob Howard, (who was standing in for the Transportation Minister, Blair Lekstrom) were in Prince Rupert last Friday to sign a deal that officially provides government funding for a railway utility corridor on Ridley Island.

“We want to position Prince Rupert and Vancouver as the gateways of choice for the Asian economies to ship their products into the North American markets, so I’m happy to be here today to deliver on our government’s commitment,” said minister Fast.

The federal and provincial governments are both contributing $15-million towards the $90-million dollar project, which is

expected to greatly increase Ridley Island’s ability to attract new industrial operations while expanding the capacity of those already there.

“Some of you may be asking ‘what are we getting? Are we getting a bang for our buck?’ I’m very pleased to tell you that in 2011, our exports to China alone increased by 27 per cent,” said Fast.

The government contributions to the project are not new. Premier Christy Clark came to Prince Rupert last fall to announce the province’s contribution and Ed Fast was in the city in February to announce the Federal Government’s contribution.

But with the stroke of a pen at a signing ceremony in the Port Authority’s new interpretive centre in Cow Bay, the deal was made official.

With all of the funding lined up for the railway corridor, all that remains before

the project can become a reality are some remaining regulatory reviews. Prince Rupert Port Authority CEO Don Krusel says that once those are done, construction can begin before the end of 2012.

“We are finalizing all of the environmental review procedures and we expect to get all of that wrapped up with permits in place in September or October.

Once that is over, we will be getting shovels in the ground as soon as possible,” said Krusel.

The federal government is already looking for future ways to improve the country’s transportation infrastructure to promote expanded trade with Asia. Federal Transportation Minister Dennis Lebel is currently traveling across the country to talk to municipalities and other stakeholders in order to have a national infrastructure plan in place by 2014.

◆ NORTHERN GATEWAY PIPELINE

Enbridge announces new safety measures for design

By Martina Perry The Northern View Calgary-based company Enbridge Inc. announced new safety measures it would include in the designs of the controversial Northern Gateway pipeline project late last week.

While Enbridge says the new measures are because of concerns raised by Aboriginal and environmental groups, many believe that the announcement was made to head off criticism caused by the U.S. Transportation Safety Board’s report on the spill in Michigan in 2010 and the Alberta government’s announcement that they will be doing an independent review of pipeline safety.

“We had already planned to build a state-of-the-art project, using the most advanced technology, safety measures and procedures in the industry today,” said Janet Holder, Enbridge’s executive vice president of Western Access.

“With these enhanced measures, we will make what is already a very safe project even safer in order to provide further comfort to people who are concerned about the safety of sensitive habitats in remote areas.”

The extra safety measures Enbridge announced included increasing the pipeline’s overall wall thickness, making it even thicker at water crossings such as major tributaries to the Fraser, Skeena and Kitimat Rivers, employing people at pump stations in remote locations 24 hours a day for onsite monitoring, better security, and to ensure rapid response to abnormal conditions, increasing the number of remotely operated isolation valves in British Columbia by 50 per cent, which would be placed on each side of sensitive waterways, installing dual leak detection systems, and increasing the amount of in-line inspection surveys across the entire pipeline system by a minimum 50 per cent over current standards.

The company expects that the extra measures will cost approximately $400 million to $500 million to put in place on the $5.5 billion potential project.

Enbridge representative Todd Nogier says that these extra measures come after a large number of concerns were raised during the Joint Review Panel process.

“We had gone above code and standard for the industry

in our original application for the Northern Gateway. In our have an incredibly safe pipeline project that goes above and view it was already going above and beyond, but we’ve heard beyond required safety measures and somehow now they of the concerns particularly around the sensitive habitat and are promising even better than the ‘already best’. From the remote location, so we’ve decided to further enhance those Transportation Safety Board report, we know that Enbridge measures,” explained Nogier in an exclusive interview with has more than just corroded pipes but a corroded culture of the Prince Rupert Northern View. ineptitude and deceit.”

Nogier says that although the company cannot guarantee In February both the City of Prince Rupert and Skeenathere won’t be a spill, “with these initiatives we feel like we Queen Charlotte Regional put the project that much closer than any other pipeline in the District decided to formally world to providing that guarantee”. oppose the Northern Gateway.

Local airline representatives make pitch to Westjet

By Shaun Thomas The Northern View With Westjet weighing their options for a regional airline service, representatives from Prince Rupert were invited to Calgary to make their pitch to the company for a stop on the north coast.

YPR manager Rick Reed was joined by economic development officer Derek Baker and others to the meeting, with only 35 airports across Canada being invited. According to Reed, the meeting was a very productive one.

“They asked a lot of questions about the community, the demographics, age, income,

traffic numbers for the past several years, ticket prices and the catchment area being served,” he said.

“I think if anyone has a chance, we do. We presented them with a business case developed by a consultant to develop a Prince Rupert to Vancouver flight which, using the same aircraft, carries on to Victoria. Other than Vancouver, the next biggest market people travel to is Victoria, and we showed them the business case that would support that route.”

So far this year, numbers at the airport are up 2.64 per cent compared to last year, excluding private flights using the airport,

Joint Review Panel returning for hearings

By Alan S. Hale The Northern View The Enbridge Northern Gateway Joint Review Panel has decided that Prince Rupert will be hosting an entire month of hearings where panel members, experts and those registered as interveners in the hearing process will question the evidence that has been presented for and against the controversial pipeline.

The questioning hearings are one of the final phases before the National Energy Board’s regulatory review of the pipeline comes to a close. The Prince Rupert hearings are the last ones, and are scheduled to run from November 18 to December 18, six days a week from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. (12:30 p.m. on Saturdays). After they are over, all that will be left to do is final arguments, but where those will be held has yet to be determined.

Prince Rupert, Prince George and Edmonton were picked by the JRP to host the three months of questioning hearings for a couple reasons: All three cities are close the pipeline route, they’re all easy for participants to

travel to (there was concern that some witnesses couldn’t make the trip to more remote communities), they all have facilities large enough to hold the hearings which will have many people involved, and those facilities have the technology to support things like webcasting and audio/ visual presentations.

The facilities are also considered “safe” which may be a reference to the protests in Bella Bella that caused the panel to cancel hearings in out of concern for safety.

The questioning hearings will be an opportunity for parties in the review process to go over all the evidence that has been presented over the past months – for and against the pipeline – with a critical eye. Groups will be able to call in their own witnesses, have panels of experts from both sides go over often highly technical information, and of course ask questions themselves.

Each of the cities has a different list of evidence that will be considered over the month that the hearings are taking place, all of which can be called into question by participants.

The list of issues to be looked at in Prince Rupert is dense, but they fall into

five basic categories.

First, the hearings will examine the evidence on what the impact of the project will be on the Aboriginal rights and title of First Nations who live along the pipeline and tanker routes.

Second, they will look at the evidence of what the environmental effects of the marine terminal in Kitimat and the supertankers will have on the North Coast environment. This will include the cumulative effects, what if an accident happens, what the mitigation measures could be, etc.

Third, the socio-economic affects that could result from the Kitimat terminal and tankers will be looked at. Issues such as the effect on human health, heritage resources, traditional land use, employment, and resource use will all be examined.

Fourth will be operations, safety, accident prevention and response. Here they will examine the operation of tankers, emergency response plans, and compensation measures in the event of an accident.

Lastly, will be engagement and consultation, which will deal with both public and aboriginal consultation.

Local business raises money for cancer

By Martina Perry The Northern View

decided to have his prostate removed.

“Ever since I’ve been fine. I’ve had my PSA test done every six months since and it’s always been very low,” he said.

Cullen has become somewhat of a spokesman for prostate cancer awareness in the community and continues to encourage men to get tested for the disease by going to their doctors and requesting to have a PSA test done.

“A lot of men don’t want to go to the doctor, they think they’re fine because there’s virtually no symptoms to prostate cancer,” said Cullen, mentioning in the days prior to his surgery he was playing squash.

The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force has claimed that there is little evidence that PSA testing saves lives, and that when many men get tiny tumours that wouldn’t have ever killed them treated it can cause an arrangement of negative side effects. Cullen says that these reports are “full of bologna”.

Five years after being diagnosed with prostate cancer, Iain Cullen has a lot to celebrate.

Not only has he been rid of the disease for half a decade, but also this year Cullen’s Do it for Dad event raised the most money ever, which Cullen plans to donate to ensure other men are as lucky as him.

Cullen started the Do It for Dad awareness walks in 2008 after overcoming the disease and has held it each year since on the eve of Father’s Day. This year’s event was held in conjunction with Farwest Sports’ 40th anniversary celebration, where the store held a “fit for forty” contest that assisted in raising additional funds for the cause. All together $1,200 was raised this year, the most Farwest has ever collected for cancer research. Cullen is sending the funds to the Vancouver Prostate Centre at Vancouver General Hospital in honour of Norman Barker, a local longtime firefighter, who passed away from cancer a few months ago after his prostate cancer spread.

“I would like to urge men over 40 to get [their prostatespecific antigen] levels tested once a year. They just take a little bit of blood from you, and test it. You’ll get results back in a couple of days and that gives you your benchmark,” explained Cullen.

After having his PSA level checked for a number of years, in 2007 Cullen saw a gradual increase in his levels and was advised to get a biopsy test done.

Cullen went to a specialist in File photo Vancouver, and after a series of Iain Cullen (far left) and other participants at last year’s Do it for biopsy tests he and his doctor Dad fundraising and awareness walk.

OPINION

MY VIEW…

The province’s pipeline wish list...

Shortly before we went to press on Monday the provincial government finally released a bit of information related to what would be required for them to consider allowing the Enbridge Northern Gateway project, or any other oil pipeline project, to be constructed in the province.

The information is online at thenorthernview.com and will likely be in the Connector, but the five key points are - The successful completion of an environmental assessment - World-leading marine oil spill response, prevention and recovery systems - World-leading practices for land oil spill prevention, response and recovery systems to manage and mitigate the risks and costs of heavy oil pipelines - Legal requirements regarding Aboriginal and treaty rights are addressed, and First Nations are provided with the opportunities, information and resources necessary to participate in and benefit from a heavy-oil project - British Columbia receives a fair share of the fiscal and economic benefits of a proposed heavy oil project that reflects the level, degree and nature of the risk borne by the province, the environment and taxpayers While the government stopped short of saying whether of not they support the development of the Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline, I don’t see how they could support it using the above five points as a mandate for that decision.

The successful completion of the environmental assessment is pending, and I am certainly not one to comment on or question the “world leading” nature of Enbridge’s planned response - I’ll leave that to the experts. Frankly, it’s

the last two points that I see as sticking points when it comes to what the province is looking for to support or not support the project.

Has Enbridge provided First Nations with opportunities and information to participate and benefit from the pipeline?

Absolutely. Have many of the First Nations west of Prince George supported it? Nope. And when it comes to the territory of the Gitxsan and the Haida, they’ve made it clear they want

nothing to do with the pipeline or the tankers. Strike one.

The second is the economic benefit that reflect the level of risk associated with the pipeline. It is entirely possible the pipeline is built and never leaks or a tanker never spills. But should one of those two things happen, which is a risk, the value and economic impact would be monumental in terms of tourism, fishing and clean-up. I just don’t see the money being there to balance that out.

~ Shaun Thomas

Making tourism a part of a healthy Prince Rupert economy As we experience a surprisingly successful tourism season this year, it surprises me to see one local online commentator proclaim the tire traffic this year to be “terrible.”

It highlights how little understood Prince Rupert’s tourism economy can really be.

As I’ve pointed out before, in just the three months of our Prince Rupert Visitor Study in 2007, we know that tourism brought us $52 million in revenue and hundreds of jobs. Estimates for gross revenue to the community for an entire year range as high as $200 million. Almost all of our business community is sustained at least in part by tourism.

Tourism offers economic growth without unnecessary sacrifice. Properly planned, tourism growth need neither change our way of life nor bring harm to our environment.

Tourism lends economic sense to community improvements that improve our quality of life. It allows us to have many amenities,

in museums, diverse notice their presence. restaurants and so on, that Similarly, those of us we might not otherwise be who live here don’t always able to support. And frankly, understand what draws visitors showing off our town to the to Prince Rupert. We no longer world brings a strong sense truly see that we’re surrounded of community pride. by stunning beauty and unique The value of tourism cultural diversity. We seldom needs to be measured by visit a museum that is so the many things that make strikingly good that it helps a difference in our lives. It make us famous around the offers everything from entryworld. We’ve perhaps never BRUCE WISHART level summer jobs to work even been out sport fishing, in valuable trades.

By that I mean Khutzeymateen. that the sheer number of visitors seem to be I think that the people of this town are absorbed into the community on any given excited about tourism, but I’m not sure summer day, or they’re out on wilderness that we have, as a community, completely excursions, and so residents don’t always embraced tourism. One still hears too many

Talking tourism

dismissive comments, mostly from people who don’t know enough about what the industry can mean for us. Learning more, and becoming involved, is nearly always rewarding – and it’s easy to do. It takes hundreds of volunteers to stage the AllNative, Seafest, and so on. You needn’t devote more than a few hours to make a noticeable and appreciated contribution. Or even just talk to a visitor that you meet in the street, and ask if they’ve had a chance yet to stop by the Visitor Centre to learn more about the things they can experience here.

Like many people who did not grow up here, I recognize on a daily basis why Prince Rupert is important to me. Set against any challenges created by a small or isolated community, this is a place where people still care. I think that tourism will help us prosper as a community while leaving this core value undamaged.

This week’s question: Prince Rupert is going to be hosting an entire month of Enbridge hearings in November (see page 5).

What is your opinion of the hearing process? Has it been valuable, or is it a sham?

What do you think of the fact that the City of Prince Rupert spends several million dollars more on staffing than Terrace?

Anna Terebka

“This is just absolutely ridiculous. If we had something to show for it, perhaps it wouldn’t be so infuriating. But the fact that a new business can barely start up without going bankrupt, our streets are caving in, and we can’t even afford a decent dog park actually makes me lose faith in humanity.”

Tina Steppler

”Do city staff really NEED to be earning that much? NO they do NOT. Reducing their pay-cheque = more money to fix the roads! I believe city staff need no more then $50,000 a year. I live off $16,000 they can afford $50,000! ” Sarah Freeman

“It’s a sign that our town’s wasting money because resources in Terrace are spending dollars for training when Rupert lacks the source!“

Wages show its time for a tax payers revolt in Rupert Editor: Prince Rupert city employees, whether they be management or labourers, are living very well here in this northern community.

Yes, indeed, this is the city with the highest of property taxation to its residents (unless you happen to live in Shaughnessy or perhaps high end Granville Street in Vancouver) in British Columbia. And what about the taxation rate to businesses, (upwards of three times the norm in British Columbia). I am also told that the City of Prince Rupert has some of the most stringent and strict by-laws in the province or perhaps that of the whole country.

So, are we the taxpayers, paying our city managers and employees to stay here in Prince Rupert? Giving them bonuses and

wage incentives.

Being semi- retired, with a small business, I find it difficult to make ends meet at the end of every month. I manage to make it through though. I personally do not earn the salary which the civic employees of Prince Rupert earn, (some would say that I live on the edge of poverty) and, I would make a bet that there are many other residents of this city who are in the same boat as I am myself.

When I reach age 65 years, a little down the road, I am going to have to consider leaving the city of rainbows. I cannot afford to live here. The taxes together with the city utilities, which my family pays to the City of Prince Rupert, amounts to three months worth of my total income.

New Northern Savings CEO discusses goals and plans

By Shaun Thomas The Northern View At the start of this month, Ken Doleman took the helm of Northern Savings Credit Union as the new CEO and he says the experience so far has been positive.

“This organization has been really successful, and part of my role is to learn from that success, see what we’ve been doing right and add my own experience and perspective to that so that we have a strong future to benefit the northwest and the communities we serve,” said Doleman, who arrived in Prince Rupert from Manitoba.

“Northern Savings Credit Union has a great history and a great story, and to be able to help write the next chapter is both a privilege and a challenge.”

With branches in Prince Rupert, Terrace, Masset and Queen Charlotte, Doleman said

he will be using his 12 years of experience as CEO of a regional institution to work in bringing the best service possible to each of the communities.

“We have a number of priorities, but the common theme is strengthening the relationship we have and the value we offer to the communities Northern Savings Credit Union serves, including the First Nations communities, with a focus on striving to build for the future...We need to continue to be clearly focussed on our members,” he said.

“Another objective is to ensure we offer a suite of financial services for our members, and this is to more seamlessly tie together our core banking services with our insurance and financial advising offerings. It is a holistic view of our members. They need more than our core banking services, and those needs change throughout

their lifetime.”

Part of member services will be continuing to develop the co-op model used at the credit union, which Doleman says aligns with his personal principles.

“The co-op model fits the uniqueness of the communities we serve because it has local decisions, a level of autonomy and its focus is responsibly meeting the needs of the local community,” he said.

“As CEO, it gives you a great deal of latitude to Shaun Thomas photo develop opportunities for the CEO Ken Doleman sits at his desk at Northern Savings Credit Union. membership.”

◆ HELPING OTHERS

Birthday girl donates to Acropolis

By Shaun Thomas The Northern View

AT YOUR SERVICE

While many eight year olds may be hoping for the newest gadgets or toys for their birthday, Prince Rupert’s Hopper Kendregan was wanting to help others.

For her eighth birthday, Hopper asked her friends not to bring presents but to instead bring money that could be donated to the Acropolis Manor. This week she donated the $125 that was raised on her birthday last month.

“I have too much stuff, I think,

so I started to think about what else I could do,” said Hopper, who made a donation to the Prince Rupert SPCA for her last birthday.

“I have so many friends and some family here at Acropolis Manor, so I thought I should do a donation for the people here.”

◆ ASSEMBLY OF FIRST NATIONS

Dayna McKay honoured at national meeting

By Alan S. Hale The Northern View Dayna McKay was honoured by the Assembly of First Nations at their general meeting in Toronto last Tuesday for her swim to raise money to fight cancer.

McKay was honoured at a ceremony held for her led by the National Chief, Shawn Atleo.

“I didn’t realize this swim would touch people of all nations. I heard a lot of drums, a lot of singing and chanting while I was in the water,” said McKay at the national assembly.

On last month’s National Aboriginal Day, McKay swam the 52 kilometres

from Lax Kw’alaams to Prince Rupert in 19 hours. To put that in perspective, the most commonly used route to swim across the English Channel between the UK and France is 34 kilometres.

It was her uncle, Billy Sampson, who inspired McKay’s swim to raise money for cancer research, which was called Into the Sea Cancer-Free. Sampson was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2009 and is still fighting the disease.

“The most important part for me was that my uncle Billy was there the whole time, from the planning, to the preparation, to when I started the swim and when I arrived. It was all about him,” says McKay.

MILESTONE VISITOR…

“It really changed him. He saw people who care and wanted him to make it through. It gave him hope, it encouraged him and was an inspiration.”

McKay’s mission appears to have resonated with many people and has gathered both provincial and national attention.

The Interim First Nations Health Authority in BC has decided that McKay’s swim should be commemorated with a new annual event starting next Aboriginal Day. So, they will be organizing five to 10 kilometre runs/walks across BC to raise awareness of health issues facing First Nations people and communities.

Provincial energy critic touts LNG as possible solution

By Alan S. Hale The Northern View Provincial energy critic John Horgan was in Prince Rupert on Wednesday and Thursday to meet with local industry leaders, as well as the mayor and city councilors, to hear what their priorities are and how the liquefied natural gas (LNG) industry might fit into

them.

“What I wanted to hear from council is what their infrastructure priorities are, roadways and so on, but also where LNG fits into the local perspective,” said Horgan.

With poll-after-poll being released with the NDP having a substantial lead over the ruling Liberals, it seems increasingly likely that Horgan might be BC’s Energy Minister after the election next year. With that in mind, he has begun talking to industry and communities about what they could expect from an NDP government in Victoria.

In Prince Rupert and Kitimat, he is focusing on the expansion of BC’s exports of LNG to Asia, which is

“It’s better to know than not to know.”

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. At least 25 per cent of people who are HIV+ do not know and these 25 per cent are estimated to be responsible for 75 per cent of new infections. Northern Health, in collaboration with its community partners, is working with the Province of BC to prevent the spread of HIV by expanding HIV testing, treatment, and support services to British Columbians.

property taxes even further.

There are grants that the City can apply for, but they often have conditions of matching the funding in order to get money and only being able to be used for specific kinds of projects.

“So what I heard from Jack [Mussallem] and the councilors is that there needs to be some flexibility from the bottom-up.

Usually they’re from the topdown...Communities want that flexibility,” he said.

“They’re happy to access the grants, they’re happy to contribute their share, but they’d prefer to be able to pick the projects that are important to them. I think that’s a reasonable expectation.”

Horgan says that an NDP government could consider using the province’s LNG money for unconditional grants where communities can apply and use the money on their own priorities as long as they contributed their share too.

While the NDP is pushing for an expansion of BC’s LNG exports to Asia, they do so despite the environmental concerns associated with the extraction process known as “fracking,” while they simultaneously oppose letting Alberta export it’s own energy resources to Asia via the Northern Gateway pipeline based entirely on environmental considerations.

Horgan argues promoting tankers full of natural gas, while promising to fight tooth-and-nail to prevent tankers full of Albertan bitumen, doesn’t represent an unfair double standard.

Besides LNG exports providing a more substantial economic benefit because BC owns Hawkair supports our local communities.

◆ ON THE FIELD

Soccer Hall of Famer explains why girls soccer matters

By Carrie Serwetnyk The Northern View Editor’s note: As part of Olympic Spirit Week, Canadian Soccer Hall of Fame inductee Carrie Serwetnyk will be hosting a girls soccer camp from nine a.m. to noon from July 30- August 3 for girls age 8-14.

With that in mind, this week she outlines the importance of girls soccer.

When I was inducted as the first woman in the Canadian Soccer Hall of Fame over a decade ago, I had a reporter come over to me and ask with a tone of disapproval, “why, why would a girl want to play soccer?”

I was so surprised by his insensitivity that it left me silent for a while. Finally I responded, “you know, your question is like asking me why a girl would like Italian food, or Chinese food, or chocolate cake or pizza as if girls are born missing a chromosome and unable to appreciate the things in life that give us spice and zest like running around with a ball, scoring goals, or high fiving friends and feeling good and fit in our bodies.”

He never printed my response.

In 2015, Canada will be hosting the Women’s World Cup, the biggest sporting event on the planet. Why does it matter

that girls play sports? The list is as long as such a question could be answered for the boys, and perhaps even more so for girls. Factor in all the statistics and global challenges you have ever read about the plight of girls and women from economic neglect to teenage pregnancies, rape, genital mutilation, domestic abuse, limited education opportunities and the absence of representation in political matters and we are just scratching the surface of why sports and physical activity can make a difference.

A girl who plays sports gains confidence in her body, she learns to connect and be empowered through her efforts with the people around her. She learns that she can accomplish goals, take on leadership roles, and make healthy choices for herself that may help steer her away from abusing alcohol, drugs, cigarettes and participating in gangs or crime. She may make stronger relationship decisions and become a positive role model for her children. Women athletes can be fantastic employees or business owners because they understand the values that drive sports: commitment, integrity, cooperation and overcoming adversity.

Given the intrinsic zest stimulated in their bodies from playing and having fun, they are more likely to be creative, intelligent, appreciate the environment and make wiser dietary choices because they are in tune with themselves.

Quite frankly, they look a heck of a lot better than the majority of the population that has dozed off on the couch with a bag of Doritos. They don’t need to read as many books searching for happiness because they ARE happy.

And besides the odd broken bone, bruise or sprain, they are mentally tougher, they probably cost the health care industry bundles less, and they are just as sexy as the Beckhams and Ronaldos all pay millions to see.

This week the women’s Olympic soccer team will open their dreams in London with the quest to join the podium and give Canadians a chance to celebrate. It is just the beginning of what will come into fruition once FIFA rolls into town to unfold the Women’s World Cup in 2015.

Why does it matter?

Like the men’s World Cup, it gives girls and women hope.

To register for the camps, call the Friendship House at 250-627-1717.
