Cole Lindsay makes the pad save in Bantam Rep action against Smithers over the weekend. The team fell 8-3 on Saturday and were narrowly edged out 3-2 on Sunday.

The Prince Rupert RCMP takes no pleasure in tracking wolves, but if the public safety is at risk they will act again with lethal force.

Acting Officer in Charge, Vic Steinhammer, delivered the blunt message to mayor and council last week amid public concern of the force’s use of firearms in and around city limits.

“The police do not usually get involved with the management of wildlife,” Steinhammer said.

“It will be done safely or it will not be done at all.”

-Vic Steinhammer

“There comes a point however… [when] the wolf issue becomes a public safety issue.”

Steinhammer addressed council following three separate shootings last December in response to a pack of four wolves who entered city limits and generated more than

70 public complaints. A Terrace Conservation officer shot and killed the first wolf Dec. 18, followed by the RCMP taking down the second Dec. 23. Prior to these shootings, an RCMP officer responding to a complaint shot and killed a pet wolf-dog hybrid. With sightings on the rise and the difficulty of a rapid response from conservation officers in Terrace, Prince Rupert RCMP were forced to follow up the more severe complaints, including incidents of wolves approaching children and attacking small dogs.

Nine cruise ships will berth at Northland Terminal in Prince Rupert during the 2013 cruise season, carrying up to 4,856 passengers all together.

“Positive feedback from guests and cruise lines during the 2012 season is driving the development of new excursions and experiences. Also, the development vision for Prince Rupert’s central waterfront is generating positive interest from decision-makers in the cruise industry,” Shaun Stevenson, Vice-president of Trade Development and Public Affairs for the Prince Rupert Port Authority, said.

“Cruise guests are attracted by our city’s reputation for authentic wilderness experiences, First Nations heritage and pioneer history.”

The first vessel to berth this season will be the returning MS Regatta from the Oceania cruise line on Saturday, June 15.

The MS Regatta is a 684-passenger ship that last berthed at Northland Terminal in 2011.

u Report to council

No new wolf complaints heard Continued from Page 1 “All of a sudden the complaints went from mere sightings to, ‘the wolf approached me,’” said Steinhammer.

Councillor Gina Garon voiced concern at seeing an RCMP officer exit a patrol car and run up George Hills Way with a rifle in hand.

“I [was] wondering, ‘are the kids still running around?’ …I’m not the only one with those concerns.”

Steinhammer said a number of safety criteria are followed before his members discharge a firearm, adding the animals killed were not taken down at the first available opportunity, but tracked until all safety measures were satisfied. In both cases the animals were shot against rock or dirt embankments to minimize or eliminate the risk of errant bullets.

“We are responsible for anything that comes out of the barrel of that firearm,” he said.

“It will be done safely or it won’t be done at all.”

Since the last wolf was destroyed the RCMP has not received further wolf complaints from the Prince Rupert area.

Information on the provincial government’s website states it isn’t common for wolves to attack or pursue humans and if problems between the two occur it may be attributed to wolves becoming comfortable with people as a result of direct or

indirect feeding. The website also warns British Columbians it’s an offence to feed dangerous wildlife.

Additionally, wolves are naturally shy of humans, but can become habituated if humans do not act threatening around the wild animals.

The government says people should not allow a wolf to come within 100 metres of them. If individuals see a wolf, they should try to make themselves look larger by raising their arms and waving them in the air. People are reminded not to turn their backs to a wolf, but to back away slowly.

GATEWAY perspectives

A decade of careful planning In fact, it’s taken more than 10 years of extensive, careful, and diligent planning to ensure Gateway is one of the safest, most environmentally responsible projects of its kind.

Our team of engineers and scientists has taken great pains to ensure that the proposed pipeline route is almost entirely made up of pre-existing corridors of activity, such as logging roads, forestry roads, cut lines, or other “previously disturbed” areas. Our engineers, and experts familiar with B.C.’s terrain, have also spent years using the most advanced technology available to identify and mitigate any potential geohazard risks — such as landslides, rock fall, avalanches, seismic issues, and marine clays. We’ve worked hard to minimize the risks, and ensure the safest pipeline route possible, with extra measures such as deeper pipe burial, tunnels, and special pipe design.

Last summer, we also announced a $500-million package of enhancements to make an already extremely safe project even safer. Those safety measures included: boosting the overall wall thickness of the pipeline; fitting the pipeline with dual-leak detection

Working with environmental groups, First Nations communities, and government agencies, our engineering team is constantly refining the route — with nearly two dozen amendments to date.

Safety and respect for the environment have been our primary considerations in charting the Gateway pipeline route over the past 10 years. And that’s not about to change.

u 14 trips per week

Greyhound service reduced

By Martina Perry The Northern View

The amount of in and outbound trips Greyhound buses make to Prince Rupert and the region will soon be cut in half as part of a province-wide reduction in the company’s services.

Greyhound applied to make cutbacks to 15 routes in B.C. in 2012, with the Passenger Transportation Board approving the application last week. Included in the cutbacks is the Prince Rupert to Prince George route, which will go down from 22 weekly trips to 14.

“The cutbacks aren’t as bad as they sound. There will still be buses leaving here seven days a week and coming in seven days a week,”

Terry Frizzell, Prince Rupert Greyhound agent, said.

In Prince Rupert there are four part-time workers employed at Greyhound, including Frizzell, whose hours will not be affected by the change in services due to freight the company handles and because there will still be a bus picking up Prince Rupert passengers each morning and dropping passengers off in the community each night.

A number of years ago Greyhound stopped running Sunday and Monday morning buses, as well as Wednesday evening buses that departed from Prince Rupert, but Frizzell said these trips will soon be added back to Greyhound’s schedule; however, when this will be implemented is

unknown at this time.

Although city council hasn’t met since the decision was made, Prince Rupert city councillor Anna Ashley told the Prince Rupert Northern View she believes the loss of service is unfortunate for Prince Rupert and the rest of the region.

Both the City of Prince Rupert and Skeena - Queen Charlotte Regional District spoke against the slash of weekly trips by submitting comments to the Passenger Transportation Board last year, as well as 14 other governments along the route.

“It’s going to be hard on people who don’t have alternate forms of transportation... It’s people who don’t have lots of money that tend to use public transportation, and the

less availability there is for those people the more chance there is of them using alternatives that aren’t safe,” Ashley said.

Greyhound’s reasoning for reducing routes in the province was a $14.1 million loss on its scheduled passenger operations in the 2011/ 2012 fiscal year. The company

attributed the loss to a number of factors such as high fuel costs and maintenance, reduced ridership and unregulated competition including BC Transit and health service buses like the Northern Health Connector.

Fourteen days of public notice, which started on Jan. 15, are required prior to route changes.

Blockade stops rail traffic to Rupert

Rail traffic in and out of Prince Rupert ground to a halt on Jan. 16 as a group called the Gitxsan Warriors blocked the CN line in Kitwanga.

The blockade @flyerland facebook.com/flyerland.ca was erected the same day as countless rallies and protests took place across the country, and Gitxsan Warriors SAVE TIME. SAVE MONEY. spokesperson Fred Johnson said it was done to show solidarity with other First Nations in opposition to Bill C45.

The group will escalate their actions in the future unless progress is made in the relationship between Aboriginal peoples and the provincial and federal governments.

“As long as meaningful negotiations are not engaged in between the parties the members of the Gitxsan and Wet’suwet’en Nations will keep on pressing the issue with the governments of Canada and British Columbia,” said Johnson in the statement.

As a result of the blockade, CN stopped all trains in the region that would have carried coal, grain or containers in or out of the port of Prince Rupert.

The City of Prince Rupert will not pay for a Snowbirds air show this summer. The decision is a big blow to the region’s hope of finally seeing a performance by the Air Force’s renowned aerobatics squadron, following last year’s sudden cancellation due to bad weather.

The air show’s organizing body, the Snowbirds Committee, asked the City for a Community Enhancement Grant of $15,000 to $20,000 to cover expenses such as administrative costs, insurance and pilots’ accommodation.

But council could not justify the expense at a time when other community groups have seen their funding denied or cut.

“It’s not that I’m saying having the Snowbirds come isn’t a great opportunity,” said Councillor Anna Ashley.

“It’s just that we’re not, in my opinion, in great financial shape… To say we’re going to spend $15,000 - 20,000 on a oneday event when we have groups that do things throughout the entire year—I’ll have a hard time [with that].”

It was noted the City last year granted $20,000 in funding for the air show. Of that amount $11,000 was spent in preparations, but the highly-anticipated and well-

attended event was cancelled just 30 minutes before takeoff.

Defeated in a 4-2 vote, councillors Gina Garon and Nelson Kinney voted in favour granting funds. Garon rejected the waste-of-money argument, saying the national pride the Snowbirds instill would in turn be a boost for community pride.

She feared the Snowbirds’ offer to perform will not come around again for many years.

“The last time they were here was [many] years ago,” she said.

“It’s money well spent… If we said no to this I don’t think very many people in the community would be very happy about it.”

Crystal Lorette, the Snowbirds Committee co-chair, told The

Prince Rupert Northern View she’s disappointed council turned down the funding, but the committee is determined, and will now seek corporate sponsorship to host the air show.

“Financially, it’s a tricky situation,” she said.

“We’re going to have the show at the Rotary Waterfront Park, over the water, so you can’t really sell any tickets to generate revenue.”

According to Lorette, the Snowbirds have also agreed to help where they can. If they were to book another Prince Rupert show, and bad weather again kept their planes grounded, they would have funds in place to stay the night and try to fly the next day.

THE NORTHERN VIEW - PAGE 6

Getting ready for what’s to come Last year was one to remember for the Prince Rupert Port Authority (see the story on Page 9) and it doesn’t look like this year is going to be any less exciting here on the north coast.

This year port authority president and CEO Don Krusel expects to see shovels in the ground on the Ridley Island Road, Rail Shaun Thomas and Utility corridor and, most likely, phase II of Fairview Terminal. Add to that continued work on the Pinnacle Renewable Energy terminal on the waterfront and the likely start of demolition out at Watson Island and there is a lot of jobs coming our way. That is not taking into account possible work on the Canpotex Terminal, which has already been approved, and workers needed should either of the two LNG terminals get the green light.

It all adds up to a major influx of people in the next five years – we’re not talking hundreds of people we’re talking thousands of people. In all likelihood the Prince Rupert of 2023 will be a lot different than the Prince Rupert of 2013 as the community becomes an even more prominent gateway to Asian markets.

And while that is great for the local economy and retailers, the City of Prince Rupert needs to get to work to prepare for the change that is coming.

Thousands of new people means a drain on already stretched resources and asking more of aging infrastructure like water and sewer.

About five years ago, just before the opening of Fairview Terminal, the city manager of Fort St. John and the city manager of Grande Prairie were in town to talk about the challenges municipalities face with a sudden spike in population. Some of the things they brought up are not necessarily self-evident in terms of social issues, crime and housing. Perhaps a refresher would be in order, as only two of the current councillors were sitting at the time.

And since at least one of the projects, Progress Energy’s LNG export terminal, is proposing a camp environment, having Port Edward and Prince Rupert officials sit down and talk with Kitimat council could also be beneficial. Through family in Kitimat and reading our sister paper, the Kitimat Northern Sentinel, it doesn’t seem all is running smoothly in Kitimat and there are certainly lessons that could be learned from the experience of Kitimat council.

Growth is a great thing for the community, it brings in new revenue to the City and more money to the businesses, but the community as a whole should be doing all it can to prepare for what is to come.

Hunkered down in the driver seat and in the middle of a 2,800-kilometre trek from Prince Rupert to Arden, Manitoba, the miserable man sat fuming in the drive-thru of a popular Canadian restaurant.

All he wanted was a cup of coffee and to get on his freakin’ way. The vehicle smelled every bit of the long list of gas station coffee, fast food, beef jerky, the unwashed driver and a snoozing dog that had quickly started at the beginning of the trip synthesizing dog treats into methane gas.

“What the hell was taking the blue van so long,” the miserable man thought to himself. “Are they ordering meals for the entire town.”

He continued to stare at the Saskatchewan licence plate of the blue van in front of him as it sat parked next to the drive-thru speaker.

He pulled out to the edge of the highway and paused. He picked up the hot coffee and took a swig and then he smiled.

I’ve thought long and hard about that random act of kindness and how it effected me.

Again, PRAKing someone need not be costly or timeconsuming.

Anonymously buy someone a coffee, leave the quarter in the shopping cart, send a thank you card to someone you admire or appreciate, pick up trash on a neighbour’s yard, the list of anonymous acts of kindness are only limited by your imagination.

PRAK someone today.

Call for Community Non-native support of Idle No more Investments begins LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Editor: I recently moved to Terrace from the Lower Mainland. In moving here I became acutely aware that I now live on unceded Kitselas territory and frequently travel through unceded Kitsumkalum and Haisla territory.

In being a non-Indigenous newcomer to this place I feel a personal responsibility to attempt to understand these nations’ histories, the unique issues they face and the achievements they celebrate to the best of my ability.

Recently, the onslaught of colonial policies and practices pushed by the Harper government has been met with the Idle No More movement.

This movement aims to use grassroots organization to join people in a revolution that honours and fulfills Indigenous sovereignty that protects land and water. Issues being brought into the spotlight by this movement are important to all people living in what is now called Canada. Omnibus Bills being pushed though parliament not only undermine treaties and Indigenous peoples rights and sacred relationship with the environment, but also threaten the protection of our waterways and resources for all. Hence, I support this movement and its aim to protect lands and waterways and I stand in solidarity with

Indigenous peoples as they exercise their right to speak for the environment based on a deeprooted connection that has been in place since time immemorial.

Yet, my support for the movement runs deeper than addressing the immediate environmental concerns the movement seeks to bring forth.

On a broad scale and on a personal level, I have witnessed the negative effects that colonization and industrial capitalism has inflicted on Indigenous People. I recognize that as a non-Indigenous person living here today, my relationships with Indigenous Peoples will inherently be tainted

by Canada’s unsavory past and ongoing colonial actions, including land-theft, genocide, the residential school system, marginalization and policy implementation aiming to destroy Indigenous identities through a process of assimilation. No matter how much effort I put into reconstructing and decolonizing my own personal relationships with Indigenous people, so long as a colonialist mindset is prominent in the government that is elected to represent me, my personal efforts will be futile.

If we wish to be a country that is interested in justice, fairness and right relationships then we should view the Idle No

More movement as a gateway to contribute to an informed dialogue that takes a critical look at current issues facing Indigenous—non-Indigenous relations and a truthful look at the historic dynamics of these relationships.

In knowing this, I recognize that it is my responsibility to educate myself and take action.

The Idle No More movement is a great platform for nonIndigenous people to become educated and learn about appropriate roles that can be taken up to stand in solidarity with Indigenous Nations during these troubling times. So what are appropriate roles for nonIndigenous supporters?

A question best answered by the Indigenous groups we seek to support. However, I believe that a prominent message of Idle No More is: get educated.

Often people don’t know where to enter into such a convoluted conversation, or they fear reinscribing the colonial actions and mindsets they seek to evade.

I would urge non-Indigenous people to spend some time on the Idle No More website. The links and resources provided there are enough to launch any individual or group on an educative journey that can inform appropriate action.

Have you seen her garden toad?

Editor: I am writing this to the editor to appeal to anyone who might come across my brown ceramic garden toad to contact me at 250-627-1337.

I would really appreciate it return.

It went missing from 1324 7th Ave. E. some time after 1 a.m. on Sunday Dec 30. It has

been located for 23 years in our front garden. My father gave it to me 36 years ago. He passed away 2 years ago. This is something I cannot replace. It is of great sentimental value to me, and has 36 years of history attached to it.

My husband filled it with cement & a piece of rebar out the bottom to deter its being

taken back when we lived in Abbotsford and we then had it positioned by a wishing well he built. It is very heavy. The large brown toad has black shiny eyes & two little toads on its back.

I am willing to pay a reward for its return, no questions asked.

RE:PORT

t’s the time of year when the Prince Rupert Port Authority is pleased to accept proposals for its 2013 Community Investment Fund, the corporate legacy program that contributes to projects that improve the quality of life for residents of Prince Rupert.

People or organizations interested in submitting a proposal can refer to our advertisement in the latter pages of this issue of The Northern View for more details about the application process.

Since the Community Investment Fund was initiated in 2009, the Prince Rupert Port Authority has contributed over $1 million to local improvement projects. Is your group preparing to make a proposal? Here are some of the projects that Port Authority funding has made possible in Prince Rupert over the past three years: q OldField Creek Fish Hatchery—Salmon Education & Stewardship Centre, $15,000. The Prince Rupert Salmon Enhancement Society expanded their facility and created space to host school groups and provide educational information to visitors.. q Prince Rupert Special Events Society—Seafest/Winterfest/Halloweenfest Events, $25,000. The Special Events volunteers are responsible for organizing the major annual community celebrations in Prince Rupert with financial support from local businesses like the Port Authority. q Tourism Prince Rupert—historic wayfinding panels. Located in various places of interest, these interpretive signs enhance visitor experiences on self-guided tours through the city, celebrate heritage value and recognize the economic significance of Prince Rupert’s waterfront and harbour. q Lester Centre for the Arts—new stage floor and carpet, $150,000. There have been many beneficiaries from this improvement project, including dozens of youth enrolled in local dance studios that perform on the Lester Centre stage. q Prince Rupert Marine Rescue Society—new rescue craft, $200,000. This donation was used towards the purchase of the new local Coast Guard Auxiliary vessel, the Orme G. Stuart, in combination with the $281,000 raised by members of the local Rescue Society. q District of Port Edward—community playground, ball field and park upgrades, $70,000. This improvement project saw the creation of a new skateboard park and a regrading of the ball field and playground areas to improve the drainage system. q Prince Rupert Library—modernization project, $35,000. No longer adequate as a functional modern-day library, these funds helped the Library Board retain an architectural consulting firm to address the issues with existing building layout, electronic information infrastructure and utility deficiencies. q My Mountain Co-op—grooming equipment upgrade, $50,000. Having recently undertaken the ownership/operation of the Shames Mountain Ski Area, My Mountain Co-op was in need of funding for infrastructure improvements. One such improvement was the purchase of a new snow grooming machine with a total cost of over $100,000.

The Port Authority looks forward to announcing and unveiling more community projects in the very near future.

u Letters to the editor

No reason for high gas prices

Editor: I find it to be unacceptable that we in Prince Rupert, are paying $122.9 ($117.9 at the Grassy Bay Petro Can) for gas.

Over the past seven or eight years I have made the drive to Kelowna , and to Prince George two to four times a year between the months of May and November. Except for this year, I have noticed that the price per litre for gas has always been one or two cents higher in Prince George, Kelowna, and Kamloops, with the price in Williams Lake one or two cents below Rupert prices. Also, the gas prices in the Lower Mainland (i.e. Burnaby) is always two to eight cents per litre more than Rupert’s prices (you have to consider the GVRD tax of, I believe at least 10 cents per litre, which we don’t have on our prices).

Check gasbuddy.com and you will see that of communities along Highway 16, 97 and 1, we have the highest prices.

As I write this the price in Burnaby is $124.9 (10

Swim support…

cent GVRD tax included) Kamloops is at $104.9, Kelowna is at $109.9 and I think Prince George was $114.9. Now, I can see the price in Rupert being two to four cents per litre higher than Prince George but not eight cents, considering Prince George has always been one to five cents higher in the past.

I have heard all the gas company excuses before but this is obviously a rip off of Prince Rupert drivers, since I don’t think we moved further west from the rest of Canada after the quake.

No more excuses!

Price our gas in line with where it has been in the past, within one to two cents of Prince George, Kamloops and Kelowna. I know prices fluctuate more in those larger centres, but even Terrace is two cents cheaper and Terrace has always been one or two cents higher in the past.

u Gateway to Asia

Laying the groundwork for a bright economic future Port Authority CEO reflects on 2012 and looks to the future of Prince Rupert

By Shaun Thomas The Northern View “One word summarizes 2012 and the future in 2013: Excitement.”

Those are the words of Prince Rupert Port Authority president and CEO Don Krusel following a year that saw the group achieve a third-consecutive record year and laid the groundwork for even more growth in the future.

2012 by the numbers As the calendar turned to 2013, Fairview Terminal had not only reached its original design capacity of 500,000 twenty foot equivalent units (TEU, but surpassed it by a wide margin. In total there were 564,856 TEUs handled at Fairview in 2012 compared to 410,469 TEUs in 2011, a difference of 37.6 per cent. Imports in 2012 were up 35.5 per cent and surpassed 318,000 TEUs, while exports were up 44.4 per cent and reached 246,789 TEUs. “Last year Fairview Terminal grew by 37 per cent, and the average for ports on the west coast was less than five per cent.

2012 was the fifth anniversary of Fairview Terminal, and it would be very tough to find another terminal in the world that has grown from zero to in excess of its design capacity in just five years,” said Krusel, who attributed the success to Prince Rupert being “in the right place at the right time in history” with the development of Asian economies.

“At the opening five years ago, you dreamed of [meeting design capacity], you were very optimistic. But it is safe to say Fairview Terminal has exceeded, by a very wide margin, everyone’s expectations of success... As we opened Fairview Terminal the world economy was in decline, so based on what was happening in the industry it is an overwhelming success.”

Ridley Terminals also broke the record the company set in 2011, growing by 19.63 per cent to ship 11.5 million tonnes of product in 2012. That number is less than 500,000 tonnes short of the terminal’s 12-million tonne capacity and comes in the midst of work on the site to double the capacity.

“Three years ago I would have said I would be surprised by that number, but today I’m not because the best is yet to come at Ridley Terminals,” said Krusel.

“We’re in discussion with Ridley Terminals to expand even further. As long as there are no surprises in the world economy, there should be continued opportunities and demand for Canadian coal.”

Despite declines at Prince Rupert Grain, which dropped six per cent down to 4.7 million tonnes, and in logs being shipped from the harbour, which fell by 35.9 per cent to 327,351 tonnes, overall the Prince Rupert Port Authority moved 22.25 million tonnes of goods in 2012, up 15.24 per cent from 2011.

“The numbers are an external validation of the port’s success, but 2012 was a

Prince Rupert Port Authority president and CEO Don Krusel.

remarkable year in so many ways,” he said.

“There is so much happening with the port you almost need a flow chart or a road map to keep up.”

and Krusel said that work is close to completion.

“Any day now we expect the Minister of Environment to sign off on the final permits, so by the end of January or February, whenever that happens, all the pieces will be in place for Maher Terminals to make a commercial decision to expand Fairview Terminal,” he said.

Although the final decision on expansion is up to the terminal operator, Krusel said he wouldn’t be surprised to see shovels in the ground by the end of the year.

“It’s a matter of when, not if, because the numbers show that expansion is needed,” he said.

2012 also saw the approval and start of construction the Pinnacle - Don Krusel on Renewable Energy pellet terminal and two companies making known their intention to develop LNG export terminals in Prince Rupert – the BG Group on Ridley Island and Progress Energy on Lelu Island.

“2012 is the year everything started to gel and really laid the groundwork for future economic growth... Looking ahead to 2020, Prince Rupert has the opportunity to be the second largest port in Canada and grow by five times the current size as long as the world economy continues the path it is on,” said Krusel of all the potential development.

“Stay tuned for 2013, it’s going to be exciting.”

“

Laying the groundwork

In 2012 the Canadian Government approved the Ridley Island Road, Rail, and Utility Corridor, a $90-million project that will loop the island.

“The road, rail and utility corridor is going to have the same kind of importance to the Port of Prince Rupert as the development of the container terminal.

It is a fundamental game changer because it unleashes all of the opportunity of 1,200 acres of undeveloped land on Ridley Island,” said Krusel.

“I can’t emphasize enough the importance of all the pieces of the road, rail and utility corridor coming into place in 2012... We will look back five years in the same way we look back at the ribbon cutting for Fairview Terminal and say that this corridor really opened the economic future of Prince Rupert.”

To make the corridor a reality, $30 million each was committed to the project from the Prince Rupert Port Authority and CN while $15 million each was committed from both the provincial and federal governments.

With the approval and funding now in place, Krusel said shovels will be hitting the ground sometime in the next 30 days.

“The equipment is mobilizing as we speak,” he said.

During 2012 the Prince Rupert Port Authority and partners also undertook an environmental assessment for the expansion of Fairview Terminal,

“The rail, road and utility corridor... Is a fundamental game changer.”

Social licence But for all the success, 2012 was also a year that saw the social licence of the Prince Rupert Port Authority in the community called into question.

In large part these concerns arose during

the environmental assessment process for the Pinnacle Pellet Terminal at the old Westview Terminal site, an assessment that was overseen by the Port Authority and raised concerns around dust, noise and the ability of people to access and view the waterfront. In 2012 the City of Prince Rupert wrote a letter expressing their concerns about train movement into CN’s waterfront land and the whistling near residential areas that comes with it, claiming neither was raised during the initial Fairview Terminal environmental assessment.

“Five years ago our social licence was creating jobs. When I was stopped on the street I wasn’t being questioned about noise or train whistles or dust, the questions were about where to hand in resumes and the economic benefits. That has changed significantly,” said Krusel, adding that community and regional support is “critical to our ongoing success”.

“There isn’t another port in the world that is growing as quickly as Prince Rupert, and when you are growing this quickly it is inevitable that there are going to be areas of port development that interfere with the community’s lifestyle... We’re very aware of the concerns expressed in the community about the rapid growth of port activity.”

To that end, Krusel pointed to the $500,000 reinvested by the Prince Rupert Port Authority last year through the Community Reinvestment Fund, the work being done that has brought train whistling “days away” from being eliminated and the plans developed for the Cow Bay area that were unveiled last year.

“As industrial lands on Ridley Island and places like Westview Terminal are converted to port activities and job creation, we want to provide alternate and enhanced access to the waterfront and one of those areas is Cow Bay,” he said, encouraging people to stop by the Port Interpretive Centre to look at the model of planned development.

“This year we started the engagement on Cow Bay development and how to develop it to create additional public access to the waterfront and we are purchasing some lands from the City to develop for Cow Bay... I’m very excited about the future of the Cow Bay area.”

That being said, Krusel said residents should be aware of the impact the port has on the rest of the Canadian economy.

“Rupertites sometimes have to be reminded that this port, although of great benefit to Prince Rupert, is of even greater benefit to Western Canada... Every time a ship leaves Prince Rupert, on average it is carrying $12 million of Canadian goods,” he explained.

“So yes, we have a social licence for Prince Rupert, but we also have a social licence for places like Burns Lake and Prince George and Peace River Alberta and Hinton Alberta and even Edmonton because the jobs there depend on building the infrastructure here in Prince Rupert.

Sometimes those are even conflicting social licences.”

Government funds cannery work

By Martina Perry The Northern View

Carrier Of The Month

Not Advertising Is like locking the door to your future

The Canadian Government will be reimbursing $100,000 spent on preserving the North Pacific Cannery in Port Edward.

The announcement came from Peter Kent, Canada’s Environment Minister and Minister responsible for Parks Canada and James Moore, Minister of Canadian Heritage and Official Languages and Regional Minister for British Columbia, on Jan. 18.

“Our national historic sites are vital to our history, our identity as Canadians and our tourism industry. By investing in these sites and by building lasting relationships with the community groups that operate them, we ensure they will continue to help support local economies and encourage more Canadians to explore and discover our national heritage,” Minister Kent said.

The government made the donation through Parks Canada’s National Historic Site Cost-Sharing Program to support conservation work on some of the cannery’s threatened cultural resources.

The news was well-received by the Port Edward Historical Society, the group overseeing the preservation of the cannery.

“The restoration and conservation of the North Pacific Cannery is an exciting opportunity to restore a National Historic Site with significant

historical and cultural heritage value and will provide opportunities for the public to engage with and learn about the unique history of the Pacific North Coast,” Steve Milum, manager of conservation and operations for the Port Edward Historical Society, said.

The donation is reimbursing money spent by the Historical Society to restore a section of the working dock, stabilizing a rotten platform a reduction tank sits on, as well as updating siding and replacing structural components of the reduction plant.

All three structures were at severe risk of collapsing, causing damage or loss to

themselves and other heritage structures in close proximity.

Work has been underway since the fall and is expected to be complete before summer.

After the projects are complete, the Historical Society hopes they can move on to other projects that need addressing, such as completing the remainder of the working dock and updating another platform holding up a reduction tank.

“We’ve got a huge amount ahead of us, but every little bit counts,” said Milum.

The North Pacific Canning Company Ltd. was first established in 1889 and today is the oldest remaining intact fish cannery on the West Coast of North America.

RCMP investigating lawn mower theft RCMP responded to a theft in progress complaint in the early morning of Jan. 21.

The complainant advised a ride-along lawn mower had been allegedly stolen from 200 block of 7th Avenue West.

Upon arrival at the scene shortly after 2 a.m., police located three suspects pushing the lawn mower along 7th

Avenue West. One suspect was immediately taken into custody and the two additional suspects fled on foot. Diago, a police service dog, was immediately deployed and a track was initiated. A short distance later one of the suspects was tracked

by Diago to the 400 block of 4th Avenue West, and through the observations of Citizens

On Patrol (C.O.P) the second suspect was located and taken into custody. The third suspect was not located.

“At this stage of the investigation we have been able to apprehend and identify two of the suspects, and are currently looking to identify the third,” stated Cst. Matt Ericson, spokesman with the Prince

Rupert RCMP. “As one of the suspects was able to elude police we are appealing to the community for any additional information that may assist investigators.”

RCMP is asking anyone that may have information regarding this incident to call 250-627-0700 or 1-800-222TIPS (8477).

Parks Canada scientists have found hot water seeps at Hotspring Island.

u Earthquake recovery

New hope for Hotspring Island

By Shaun Thomas The Northern View

There is new hope that Hotspring Island on Haida Gwaii will return to its former state after the pools dried up following last October’s earthquake.

Three Parks Canada scientists traveled to the site on Jan. 16 to check heat-detecting devices that were installed after the water stopped flowing, and observed hot water seeps measuring up to 60 degrees celcius above the surface near two of the pools, though they were below the high tide line.

While the water is not flowing, thermal activity has been found throughout the island with the highest ground temperature measuring in at 21 degrees celcius.

“Hotspring Island is a special place for the Haida and all visitors to Gwaii Haanas. This is a promising development but the mystery of what will happen to the hot pools continues,” said Ernie Gladstone, Gwaii Haanas Field Unit Superintendent.

“We can’t confirm if this means the hot springs will be back to normal in the future. Parks Canada will continue to observe the situation throughout the coming months, and we are hopeful that this is just the beginning.”

Hot Spring Island is near the epicenter of the magnitude 7.7 earthquake that struck Haida Gwaii on Oct. 27, and one of the aftershocks measuring over magnitude 4.0 took place less than a kilometre from the site. The drying up of the pools was discovered on Oct. 31 as crews surveyed the impact of the quake.

Tsunami response alarming

“

Public complacent, unprepared for emergency

By Quinn Bender

Musasallem’s comments follow the Jan. 5 tsunami warning that was generated by a magnitude 7.5 earthquake roughly 300 The City’s dry-run response to this month’s kilometres northwest of Prince Rupert. The warning was soon downgraded tsunami warning has to an advisory, but not worried officials over a high without raising the alarm with level of public complacency emergency responders. revealed by the emergency.

Shortly after the warning Residents refusing to was issued, Prince Rupert evacuate, lack of tsunami RCMP began knocking door preparedness and delayed to door on waterfront homes emergency broadcasting are awaken residents and all matters the City fears -Mayor Jack Mussallem to direct them to higher ground. could one day result in real However, approximately a tragedy. half-dozen refused to evacuate.

“I don’t want to keep people awake at night, but… It’s important The police could only record the names of that people inform themselves and they’re occupants and their next of kin before moving prepared,’” said Prince Rupert mayor Jack on to the next residence.

The RCMP’s acting officer-in-charge, Mussallem. “[If] you can’t go back into your house for Vic Steinhammer, says even under extreme 72 hours, what do you do for clothes? What do circumstances the police would rarely force someone from their home. you do for food? “ “Do you spend time persuading someone to leave their home, when time is of the essence, or do you move on to the next family?”

The dry run gave RCMP and Fire and Rescue an opportunity to exercise an updated tsunami warning response issued by the BC government following its poor, 51-minute response time to the powerful earthquake off Haida Gwaii Oct. 27 The Police, Fire and Rescue and City Hall say they were all satisfied with the speed at which streets were closed and residents notified. The City posted 28 direct notices to its Facebook and Twitter feeds, the first of which went out 27 minutes after the quake.

Combined with emergency bulletins from local media, for the most part the City feels the warning spread sufficiently.

At last week’s regular council meeting, however, the mayor singled out CBC radio for its delayed broadcast of the tsunami warning and passed a motion to consult with the public broadcaster on its responsibilities.

“When does the emergency broadcast kick in, and what [information] can the listeners expect?” said Mussallem.

CBC British Columbia’s program director, Lorna Haeber, told the Prince Rupert Northern View that after reviewing the matter CBC has tightened up its lines of communication to speed up its future response times.

“Our mandate is to help people in times of emergencies… we’re part of the community and we take that very seriously,” said Haeber.

“We could have been faster with those bulletins.”

The City is now looking at options to increase public knowledge of emergency preparedness, which may include public information sessions and flyer campaigns.

Many coastal communities in North America re-purpose World War II air raid sirens for tsunami warnings, but there are no current plans to bring one into Prince Rupert.

Tsunami warnings received by the province will trigger an immediate broadcast on Twitter through the @EmergencyInfoBC account and be posted on the Emergency Info B.C. website, emergencyinfobc.gov.bc.ca.

The site also contains detailed information what to do and how to prepare for a tsunami emergency.

u Facing the Ice

Rampage end the season with a shootout loss

By Shaun Thomas The Northern View The 2012/2013 season may not be one to remember for the Prince Rupert Rampage, who missed the playoffs and finished last, but the final home game of the season was certainly one fans in the rink won’t forget.

Facing the Omineca Ice, the Rampage played a hard-hitting, fast paced and exciting game that took a shootout to decide.

It was all Omineca in the early going, who threw their weight around with some crushing hits before Tyrell Turgeon netted a shorthanded goal with 16:38 to play on a cross-ice shot that went over the glove of Colby Hagman.

Turgeon followed up the goal with a slapshot from just inside the blue line that sailed over Hagman’s glove with 4:51 to go to make it

2-0 Ice, but with just 52.8 seconds left to play Greg Sheppard beat Paul Simoes from in close to lessen the gap to one heading into the second period.

In the second, Vanderhoof’s Donavan Ketlo put home a loose puck just 47 seconds into the period to regain the two goal lead, but 19 seconds later Justin Fontaine responded with a goal for the Rampage and 1:40 later Sheppard finished up a threeman passing play to tie things up at three. With 4:38 to play Mike Stang put the Ice up with a goal at the side of the net. While it looked like the Ice would take the lead into the final frame, John Hunt scored with 1:22 to play to tie things up and ensure an exciting finish to the game.

In the third, Turgeon completed the hat trick with 9:45 to play, taking a great cross-ice pass that

left the side of the net open, but three minutes later Ryan StaceSmith hit the twine with a slapshot from right in front to tie things up.

That would be all the goals in the period, but a fight between Joseph Repole and Mike Simoes brought the crowd to its feet. The score was 5-5 when the final buzzer sounded, setting the stage for a shootout.

The first shooter for Vanderhoof was Turgeon, who found the back of the net for the fourth time. That would prove to be the winner as Hagman and Simoes shut the door on the remaining shooters.

The Rampage finished the season with 10 points, one behind the Houston Luckies for the final playoff spot, and a record of 4-122. Kory Movold led the team with 12 goals and eight assists for 20 points.

Rainmakers test their skills in the Lower Mainland

By Shaun Thomas The Northern View The Charles Hays Secondary School Rainmakers junior boys basketball team traveled to the Lower Mainland on the weekend of Jan. 10 for a series of games

against Vancouver-area teams, and came away with a 2-2 record.

On Jan. 10 the Rainmakers faced off against McRoberts High of Richmond and took a 53-30 victory led by Justin McChesney with 18 points and 13 rebounds.

The following day the team

traveled to Langley to face the Walnut Grove Gators, falling by a final score of 50-25. Rosendo Masocol was Prince Rupert’s player of the game with six points, seven assists and three rebounds.

On Jan. 12 the Rainmakers met the Handsworth Royals of

North Vancouver in a game that came right down to the wire.

When the final buzzer sounded Prince Rupert won by a single point, 43-42, led by Moe Hughes who netted 11 points and eight rebounds.

The final game of the trip

saw the Rainmakers take on the Kitsilano Blue Devils. The Vancouver team proved to be too much for Prince Rupert, winning by a score of 61-54. Brett Thompson was named the Prince Rupert player of the game with 15 points and nine rebounds.

Council briefs

By Quinn Bender The Northern View

Dark Times Prince Rupert mayor Jack Mussallem brought council’s attention to a speed indicator on Hwy 16 and McBride known to intermittently lose power.

He directed staff to enquire with the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure about its repair.

The Ministry told the Prince Rupert Northern View they’re aware of the problem, saying the solarpowered system simply cannot get enough sunlight to keep the four 12-volt batteries consistently charged. The structure already incorporates extra large solar cells. The Ministry hopes to visit the site this week and reprogram the sign to shut down at nights to ensure it’s consistently operational during times of high-volume traffic.

Dancers Welcome The City will donate rental fees for several facilities to the Gitmax Mak’ay Nisga’a Society and Dancers for the First Annual Salmon Festival.

The group anticipates approximately 900 dancers and spectators from around the region will attend.

City council welcomed both the cultural and economic benefits such an annual event would bring to Prince Rupert. Pending the submission of a budget, the City will grant the society free access to the Jim Ciccone Civic Centre and Russell Gamble Gymnasium and Auditorium. In following years it is expected the event will generate enough revenue to cover the regular rental fees.

On the Wagon The City has added its name to an application for a $7,000 grant from the Northern Health Authority to develop a Municipal Alcohol Policy Program, which aims to support healthy communities by providing clear guidelines for alcohol use in municipal settings. If approved, the Community Integration Committee will use the grant for community consultation, education and mobilization on aspects of alcohol use.

The committee has previously identified youth addictions as a priority for the region.

Heart of Matter The City of Prince Rupert has proclaimed the month of February as “Heart Month”. Spurred by the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada, the proclamation encourages municipalities to contemplate their heart health and give generously to the volunteers seeking donations door to door.

Sitting comfy…

W.R. (BILL) BALL UE.

August 2, 1928 - January 9, 2013 A brief but valiant battle with respiratory illness at the Penticton Hospital preceded the peaceful passing of William Ronald Ball of Okanagan Falls at Moog & Friends Hospice. The family extends our sincere gratitude to all the Doctors & Staff for their care and compassion.

There will be no memorial by request however donations to your local Hospice Societies are encouraged.

Bill is survived by his wife of 59 years, Verna, sons: Ian (Laurel) & David (Jane), Sister: Margaret, Brother: Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Arcy (Mona), Brother-in-Law: Ken, Grandchildren: Craig (Teresa), Kelly (Matt), Daniel & Jonathan. Greatgrandchildren: Braden & Alisha. As well as many nieces, nephews & cousins.

Bills parents, Josephine & Hector, settled in Vernon, BC in the late 30â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where he graduated from Fulton School in 1947. Employment in the timber industry followed, doing topographical surveying while he was enrolled in the engineering program at UBC. Later a little dabbling in accounting & insurance framed his 1953 marriage to Verna MacDonald. In 1956 he went back to mapping and location work with the Dept. of Highways. This was an ambitious time for infrastructure improvement in the province and the family moved not less than 30 times over the next 7 years until 1963 saw a move to Prince George and a position of Resident Engineer. A promotion to Regional Engineer took him to Prince Rupert in 1969 & then another, to Nelson as a Highways Manager in 1978. A final transfer to Courtenay in 1983 preceded his 1988 retirement with 32 years of dedicated service.

Bill took advantage of every opportunity and he rose to every challenge presented throughout his career and it was the same in his personal life. He always had an urge for adventure, like when he hopped a freight train to Vancouver at age 16, to later stunts on his Harley 45. He continued his exploits with boating and fishing on the North Coast and trips to Europe & North Africa in the 70â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and 80â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s As a retiree he enjoyed exploring the Baja Peninsula from his condo in Los Cabos and even obtained his pilotâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s license at age 65. A move to the Okanagan Falls area in 1996 focused him on quieter pursuits where he enjoyed fly fishing, cooking, woodworking, reading and walking his dog along the canal.

Bill was extremely proud of his family history and he dedicated countless hours researching our roots back to the 16th Century. He always had our Coat of Arms with our family motto on it hanging in his home. â&#x20AC;&#x153;UNDAUNTEDâ&#x20AC;? I looked it up, it means... â&#x20AC;&#x153;Not discouraged by difficulty, danger or disappointment.â&#x20AC;? ie. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fearless, Courageous, Valiantâ&#x20AC;?.

I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe these are easy words to live up to, however writing this has made me reflect on the manner that my Dad lived his 84 years and when I remember the way he calmly stared down that clock during his last few days I am convinced that he did indeed live up to it.

I hope I can too. D.W.B.

u Peaceful protests

MP discusses Idle No More rallies

By Shaun Thomas The Northern View With the Idle No More movement gaining momentum across the country, Skeena — Bulkley Valley MP Nathan Cullen said he is glad to see rallies in the northwest have remained peaceful and legal.

So far the blockage of highways and rail lines seen in eastern Canada has not come to rallies in Terrace, Kitimat or Prince Rupert, although a group calling themselves the Gitxsan Warriors did block the CN Rail line in Kitwanga on Jan. 16.

“When you start to move to the blocking of the rail line, you really up the ante and the tension. It also ups the risk and I don’t want to see anybody getting hurt,” he said, adding

that those kind of protests can’t be vague in nature.

“When you seek to inconvenience people, and seek to get a message out that way, you better know exactly what you are looking and asking for. People tend to be more understanding of being inconvenienced when they know what the cause is for.”

Cullen said he has attended peaceful and respectful Idle No More rallies in the region that included people of all ages and backgrounds, and that many of the images and stories making the national media go beyond the movement.

“Some of these protests are not in the spirit of Idle No More, and the original organizers have said that. Whenever you get a grassroots movement like this, some people are going to take

it on as their own and go in a completely different direction,” he said.

That being said, Cullen said there is no doubt that there are valid reasons for the protests as frustration with the actions of the Harper government among Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people grows.

“I have been hearing from Chiefs for some time now that there is a sense of frustration growing, particularly among young First Nations, and that is beginning to manifest itself,” he said.

“The Northwest is quite aware of the First Nations’ concerns and with the treatment of First Nations by the government...

There are serious grievances and the responsible thing to do would be to sit down and work out a solution.”

u Trout limits

Fishing changes cause concern

By Anna Killen Black Press A proposal to ban the harvest of trout and char caught in area rivers and streams in favour of catch and release only is being opposed by area anglers who say it would violate traditions of parents teaching their children how to catch, dress, and cook fish.

What’s worse, the anglers add, is that the proposal was quietly posted on a government website for a public comment period of Dec. 13-31 last year, right in the middle of the Christmas holiday season.

The proposal as posted on the forests, lands and natural resource operations website, states that the “Skeena Region requires a more precautionary approach to management of trout/char. The proposal change is to set regional angling harvest quotas of trout/char to zero. From this baseline, water-specific risks associated with harvest will be evaluated, with retention quotas re-applied where appropriate”.

The quota now for the retention of trout and char is two per day, with only one over 50 cm and none under 30 cm.

If the proposal goes through, the changes would apply to the Kitimat, Skeena, Nass, Stikine, and Dease River drainages.

Lakes in the region with wild trout and char populations would not be affected and keeping fish would still be allowed in those waters.

“Right now, the proposal is to put the brakes on it,” said Mark

Beere, a senior Smithers-based provincial fisheries biologist of the current catch rule for rivers and streams.

“But I don’t know where that’s heading in terms of approval and whether or not that’s the kind of thing that Victoria would be interested in or not,” he said of the ban plan, noting the final decision will be made down south.

The proposal “really originated from proposals in Terrace at our angling advisory committee meeting, where people said we’re not seeing larger trout and char in the Kalum, Lakelse and the Copper River like we used to. If you go north or places where there isn’t much out there, then you start to see lots, and large fish, but not so much in and around [the Terrace area],” he said.

There are also worries that accelerated industrial development will harm fish habitat and also cause overfishing.

“Vancouver Island did the same thing, so did PeaceOmineca,” said Beere, noting that there simply aren’t enough provincial fisheries officials to assess each and every stream, hence the precautionary approach.

“Trying to get assessment data is almost impossible – if we did one stream we’re looking at maybe 10 or 20 times what our budget is,” he said.

Although Dec. 31, 2012 was to be the end of the comment period, Beere said comments are still being accepted online

or through provincial fish and wildlife offices.

Right now, about 80 per cent of those comments have been in favour of the proposal, said Beere.

But the 20 per cent against have been “really vocal,” he said.

“Some people just want to catch a fish for Thanksgiving dinner and not catch 20.”

One local angler opposing the change, Don Coburn, has been circulating information about the proposal and a second angler, Mike Scott, has placed a petition at a number of area businesses.

“The everyday person and their families are now expected to go and camp at a lake in the summertime and eat fish that are silty tasting or even possibly wormy due to the warmer water temperatures,” said Scott.

But those in favour of the proposal disagree, saying that years of harvesting without limits means that fishermen no longer have the right to kill certain fish and that catch and release regionwide will make a big difference in improving fish stocks.

“Kill your limit, not limit your kill,” said Rob Brown, a steelhead angler who has sat on a number of fishing advisory bodies, including the one which came up with the catch ban proposal.

“Nothing in the ministry’s proposal prevents anyone from going fishing, it simply disallows the killing of increasingly vulnerable fish in streams.

Fishers can still whack coho, chinook, pinks, and sockeye as well as trout and char in lakes.
