A WORLD OF OPPORTUNITY AT THE PRINCE RUPERT PORT INTERPRETIVE CENTRE

“

The first of 10 National Energy Board Joint Review Panel public hearings to be held in Prince Rupert over the next four months did not go well for proponents of the Northern Gateway pipeline, as both environmentalists and the provincial government grilled the Enbridge-backed delegation for more detailed information on oil spill response and preparedness.

B.C. Environment Minister Terry Lake, told the Prince Rupert Northern View that his department is now looking for solid evidence of Northern Gateway’s ability to provide world-leading spill prevention and response time.

“Unfortunately, we’re just not satisfied with the level of detail Northern Gateway representatives are providing and that makes it difficult to judge whether they are meeting B.C.’s conditions for supporting the project,” Lake said.

But Enbridge spokesperson Paul Stanway said the opposition is expecting too much, too soon.

An investigation is underway to determine if former North Coast MLA and B.C. Liberal Party vice president, Bill Belsey had registered as a lobbyist before contacting several provincial ministers about the Skeena Mill on behalf of Sun Wave Forest Products.

Belsey under investigation BELSEY from Page 1 However, Bell denies meeting with Belsey in December.

“With regard to Mr. Belsey, I have asked my office to do an exhaustive search of my calendar and the last time I met with him was May 31, 2011,” he said in a statement.

“Prior to that my last meeting with Mr. Belsey was Feb. 8, 2011 in my capacity as Minister of Forests, Mines and Lands.”

Belsey is also registered as a lobbyist for the Gitxaala First Nations. Belsey made that registration on Nov. 20.

Ni and Sun Wave bought the shuttered mill in 2006 with promises of reopening it. That never happened, and the City of Prince Rupert eventually seized the property in 2009 for Sun Wave’s failure to pay its Bill Belsey taxes.

Pending the outcome of a lawsuit filed by Sun Wave, the City plans to sell the property for $5 million to the Watson Island Development Corporation for the redevelopment of an export facility and industrial park.

As reported in The Northern View last November, Bell entered into the controversy by sending Belsey an internal email about the Skeena Mill.

The e-mail from Bell to Belsey, who served together in the Legislature, outlined the contents of an article published in Chinese publication Caijing alleging that Mr. Ni’s activities included inappropriate influence over Chinese officials, a dubious loan scheme that saw $60 million of a $100 million loan application set aside for the purchase of the mill despite a $9 million price tag, fraudulent financial documents valuing the former pulp mill at $202 million and missing approval of Chinese regulators.

Marine safety plan

Safety starts with a tanker acceptance program that’s as stringent as any in existence — and includes an independent review of all tankers, weeks ahead of their scheduled arrival. Tankers mooring at the terminal will be double-hulled and no more than 20 years old, and will be required — by independent third parties, before they enter Gateway’s shipping channels — to show a sound maintenance and operational history.

As they approach Kitimat, all vessels will be boarded and guided by B.C. Coast Pilots with expert knowledge of our coastal waters.

Simulations conducted in varying weather conditions have shown that the largest tankers can be safely navigated without the help of tugboats.

Still, Gateway is adding a tug-escort system as an additional safety measure. The Douglas Channel is already one of the deepest and widest inland waterways on North America’s west coast, and Gateway’s tug-escort

system, according to risk assessment data, would reduce the already unlikely chance of a grounding incident by a further 80 to 90 per cent.

As another Gateway marine safety initiative, we’re introducing landbased radar to B.C.’s North Coast for the first time. This radar system will be bolstered by extra navigational aids such as lights and channel markers. These enhancements aren’t just for Gateway — they are for all vessels on B.C.’s North Coast.

Groups who oppose this project use fear tactics. They’d have you believe an oil tanker spill is inevitable. It isn’t.

But don’t take my word for it — visit our website and read for yourself about all the work that has gone into making Gateway’s marine operation one of the safest in the world. Then, decide for yourself what’s true.

u Northern Gateway delegation upbeat

Spill prevention, response dominate pipeline hearings HEARINGS from Page 1 “It’s important for British Columbians to know about the amount of engineering and environmental study that’s gone into this project. We’ve been working on it for ten years.

There’s a lot of finely-detailed studies that’s gone into the planning for Northern Gateway,” Stanway said.

“It’s hard for us to justify doing that sort of detailed planning [that the government is demanding] at this point until we know we have approval for the application.

People generally assume Enbridge has unlimited amounts of money, but we’re like any organization, family or government. We have to budget for these things and these are very expensive undertakings,” he said, adding the total cost of the regulatory process is likely to cost in the region of $300 million.

Lake said however, he would like to see the federal government also step up and increase the regulations.

“Northern Gateway says they’re willing to go above and beyond the Canadian regulations for response to spills, but we’re concerned that’s a voluntary commitment.”

Supporting the project without those safeguards in place, said Lake, “is like putting the cart before the horse.”

Martina Perry/The Northern View

Northern Gateway representatives Walter Pearson and Al Maki field questions from members of the Douglas Channel Watchgroup at the National Energy Board Joint Review Panel hearings in Prince Rupert on Friday.

Despite the Province’s position, Stanway believes the Joint Review Panel was impressed with what they heard over the five days of testimony in Prince Rupert, adding Enbridge’s approach has always been to provide more details once the project has been given the green light.

Stanway said Enbridge wants to make sure the company has the most modern, up-todate and effective methods of

prevention and response for spills for the particular weather and environmental conditions in the North coast.

“There have been tremendous advances in oil spill response and mitigation,” he said.

However, promises of improvements aren’t enough for First Nations living on Haida Gwaii. On Thursday, Terri-Lynn Williams-Davidson, lawyer for the Council of the Haida

Nation, questioned Northern Gateway representatives on the consequences an oil spill would have on marine life, like the black seaweed and razor clams people in the territory rely on.

“These are species that are important culturally and economically to the Haida,” she said.

Stanway, however, dismisses it.

“Oil floats on water, crude oil floats on water and diluted bitumen floats on water. That’s a matter of physics. It’s not something that’s open for debate,” he said.

He pointed to commissioned studies on the subject, which showed diluted bitumen did not sink.

Karen Campbell of the Sustainability Coalition, made up of ForestEthics, Living Ocean Society and the Raincoast Conservation Foundation, made a motion requesting the panel produce a study supporting this information, giving interveners an opportunity to provide new evidence on the issue, and crossexamine Northern Gateway on the study. The motion was passed, with interveners being able to question the study at future hearings.

“This is a marathon,” Stanway said, “not a sprint. The hearings will continue until the end of May… But we’re convinced it will have an impact on public interest.

The hearings will resume in Prince Rupert on Feb. 18, with people questioning Northern Gateway’s witness panel about Aboriginal engagement and public consultation.

u MP urges second look

Cullen launches initiative questioning major projects for Prince Rupert

By Quinn Bender The Northern View

Quinn Bender/The Northern View

The transition to rounding up or down to the nearest nickel in the wake of the Royal Canadian Mint’s decision to ditch the one cent piece has not caused major problems for Prince Rupert retailers — and in some cases — they weren’t even aware of the disappearing penny.

u Penny’s demise a fundraiser’s opportunity

A nickel now for your thoughts

By Quinn Bender The Northern View

While Prince Rupert retailers are taking the demise of the Canadian penny in stride, fundraisers are taking advantage.

A Free the Children fundraising drive is currently underway and every $25 bag of pennies area school children pull together this month will be earmarked for safe drinking water for one child in the world.

While some are sending their pennies overseas, others are keeping them right here at home. As of Monday, Belmont Liquor Store was still accepting, and offering, the bronze coin.

pet of the week

Backdropped by the Enbridge pipeline hearings in Prince Rupert and a recent provincial report underlining the growth prospects of the liquid natural gas industry, Skeena-Bulkly Valley MP Nathan Cullen is urging Rupertites to hit the brakes and take a careful look at the region’s economic options.

“Energy and mining companies worldwide are eyeing the Northwest as a place to invest in projects such as hydroelectric dams, mines, oil and gas pipelines and marine terminals,” says Cullen. “This presents extraordinary opportunities and also some pretty big challenges.

He adds as project applications, approvals and prospects flood northern BC, communities are working to identify the types of projects that are in line with their values and will create good jobs.

Nathan Cullen Cullen and community partners are hosting discussions this month and next to identify the top criteria that communities want to see for projects to be supported by residents.

“With tens of billions of dollars in resource investment expected in Northwest BC by the end of the decade, communities need to be a key part of the discussion if these projects are to gain social licence to proceed.”

The Renewal Northwest tour, titled New Projects, New Challenges, New Opportunities, will feature four key questions on what makes a project good for the Northwest, which projects should be influenced to move forward, and what can be done to avoid a boom-and-bust economy that ensures residents benefit from responsible resource development, The first forum is in Prince Rupert on Feb. 17 at Northwest Community College from 7-9 p.m.

Cullen launched Renewal Northwest in May 2009 while co-chairing the NDP’s national Economic Recovery Task Force. His office says the communities-based initiative works to develop a sustainable, long-term Northwest economy that is supported by residents.

Wightman. “Our manager is on holiday until the end of the month, so we’re just waiting for her to change things over. We’re telling all our customers to bring us their pennies.”

At Javadotcup, owner Yoriko Yamaguchi said rounding up and down might be the fairest method of dealing with the dropped denomination, but it’s not without complications.

“I feel bad when I have to round up,” she said with a laugh. “I give them their change and it feels light. I’m embarrassed. I’m always hoping the total amount will work in their favour.”

Shoppers can still opt out of a cash transactions all together; debit and credit card purchases will still use one-cent denominations.

u Another grievance filed

Teachers remain defiant over shirts with political message

By Quinn Bender The Northern View

The president of the Prince Rupert and District Teachers’ Union (PRDTU) will not intervene in what teachers wear to work, and expects they will again use clothing deemed “too political” for Prince Rupert classrooms in order to get their message across.

“There’s quite a bit of the T-shirts in the district and quite a few teachers. I’m not there when they get dressed in the morning but I suspect we haven’t seen the end of it. Teachers feel it’s an important message, and that they’ve been oppressed here,” PRDTU president Joanna Larson said.

The comments follow the school district’s decision last month to ban teachers from wearing T-shirts containing Section 2 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

Following the infamous Yurtle the Turtle scandal last year, Prince Rupert instructors joined thousands in Joanna Larson wearing black on Jan. 28 to mark the 10th anniversary of the passing of Bill 27 and 28. A number of Prince Rupert teachers wore BCTF-distributed black T-shirts with Section 2 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms on the back, with three educators from Lax Kxeen Elementary being told to remove the shirt on Jan. 28, followed by two teachers at Roosevelt Elementary on Jan. 29.

Larson said the teachers were flabbergasted and upset, but complied to the school district’s request.

“They’re silly battles to be picking. It doesn’t just impact teachers, it’s restricting the rights of students to learn these important topics too. It’s just not acceptable. Schools aren’t vacuums, students need to learn to be civically engaged and responsible citizens,” said Larson.

Lynn Hauptman, Superintendent of School District 52, said she can’t go into detail about the incident as it’s under grievance and arbitration, but she did say the school board doesn’t have a problem with students learning about the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. However she won’t allow teachers to use it for political messaging.

Hauptman said the district asked teachers to hide the shirts because of an arbitrator’s ruling in 2012 forbidding educators from wearing buttons or T-shirts with political messages in the classroom to insulate students from ongoing negotiations.

“In the meantime we need to uphold that arbitration. We can’t not uphold what we’ve been told is the school district’s responsibility to do,” she said.

However Larson says the T-shirts aren’t new, and have been worn without incident in the district for the past nine months.

Teachers across the province have worn the same shirt, but have not been asked to removed them in any district but Prince Rupert.

“I checked with the Employer’s Association and in every other district in the province on the wear-black-day that’s what happened—they wore black. It was only in this district that teacher’s chose to wear something with a political message on their T-shirts,” Hauptman said.

The contractor hired to begin construction of the Ridley Island Utility Corridor said they have no problems finding workers from southern B.C., but they would prefer to hire from Prince Rupert. An estimated 60 to 90 positions are available over the next two years.

“

u Ridley Island Corridor

Prince Rupert workers needed “We want to involve

more local people...’”

A contractor for the Ridley Island corridor has been found, but now the challenge begins to find local workers for the 65 to 90 positions that will need filling over the two-year construction period.

Prince Rupert Constructors (PRC) announced last week it has entered into a contract with the Prince Rupert Port Authority (PRPA) to begin construction this month on the Ridley Island Road, Rail and Utility Corridor (RRUC), an earthworks and rockwork construction project entailing 8.6 kilometres of rail and road bed, a concrete box underpass, a utility corridor and installation of inbound and outbound rail tracks.

PRC will need up to 90 workers over its two-year construction phase.

Project manager, Mark Stevens, said the preference is access the local pool of workers, but so far they’ve had to syphon help from the south.

“We want to involve more local people into the overall project. Our initial efforts here, getting the preparatory work done, have involved folks from our main operations down in the Lower Mainland… where Anderson and JJM are headquartered.”

PRC is a partnership between Coast Tsimshian Enterprises (CTE), a local First Nations enterprise, JJM Construction Ltd, and Emil Anderson Construction (EAC) Inc. “So we’re not having difficulty finding people for a lot of the positions, but we want to make a broad appeal to people that have the right skills locally.

- Mark Stevens

“Right now they’re [Prince Rupert Port Authority] just looking at the initial construction and installation phase to get the basic corridor and introductory rail line in around the island. There will be further work overtime, but that depends on how successful the port is on increasing demand and volume on the site.”

With current proposals, the Port Authority has previously stated it is highly confident a second phase of expansion will be green lit soon after Phase One construction is complete. In the meantime, current construction is expected to be completed by Dec. 31 2014.

In addition to local workers, PRC hopes to attract former Prince Rupert residents back to the city.

Employment opportunities on this project include project management, project supervision, safety/HR coordination, heavy equipment operators, heavy duty mechanics and GPS surveryors.

PRC said it will be initiating and coordinating specific job training for residents who want to undertake long-term construction careers. They ask applicants to submit resumes to mail@ PrinceRupertConstructors.com.

Wanted: A few good men

T

his week in Prince Rupert love may be all around, in candy stores and flower shops, on moon-lit paths and cozy hearths, but at one assisted-living facility Cupid’s arrows have yet to strike the hearts of few cheeky ladies.

The female tenants of Summit Residences have written an open letter to the men of Prince Rupert, inviting the more personable among them to be their neighbours.

A copy of the letter was obtained by The Northern View.

“Since it is the month of Valentines, we have been thinking of the heart,” the letter reads. “It would be really nice if one or two fun, energetic, spunky gentlemen would move into our building and liven up the joint.”

The letter is signed by “a few of the ladies at Summit Residences.

“It would also be very helpful,” they added in the post script, “if these guys still had their marbles!!”

The editorial staff at The Northern View understood that the use of two exclamation points greatly underscores the urgency of this matter.

At press time, none of the gentlemen currently living at Summit could be reached to defend their marbles.

Sources from Northern Health say Summit Residences features 15 new assisted-living units with an adult day centre ideal for amiable gentlemen who like to dance, play cards and laugh out loud. Residents receive two meals a day, weekly housekeeping and linen services, 24-hour emergency response, personal care services and the obvious social opportunities. A spokesperson for the facility confirmed there are vacancies available.

An internal investigation at The Northern View revealed the authors of the Valentine’s plea sent an earlier draft to the editorial department last Christmas. Unfortunately, a cold-hearted desker then failed to advocate for this worthy plea.

For that we apologize.

Good luck Cupid... and Summit ladies.

Eco-tourism isn’t going to pay the bills. LNG terminals in Prince Rupert will.

Curiously, as vocal as she has been against oil pipelines, her internet defenders point out vociferously that Rice has not yet weighed in on LNG. But her soon-to-be new bosses have.

All the LNG development and jobs for Prince Rupert are dependant on the gas getting out of the ground in Northwest B.C. And what does Jennifer’s new co-workers, like B.C. NDP energy critic John Horgan, think of that?

“Some of these projects are going to have to be delayed,” Horgan said.

So, MLA-in-waiting, councillor, environmentalist Rice what’s it gonna be?

Prince Rupert needs and wants LNG, the B.C. NDP do not.

Resign, at least that way you can do your new bosses’ bidding with a clear conscience.

Development not exploitation Editor: In a few short months, we have gone from talking about one oil pipeline in Northern B.C., to the possibility of five LNG pipelines with terminals, an oil refinery, tar sands’ oil coming to the port of Prince Rupert by train and potentially hundreds of tankers plying this coast.

Are you kidding?

The oil and gas sectors, with the support of our governments are acting as if there is no opposition to these plans, or what opposition there is. will be co-opted by “big money”.

Their media blitz is stiffening

“We are entering... a time of civil disobedience...

- Anne Parizot

the resolve of First Nations and others in B.C communities who are opposed to the wholesale destruction of our pristine habitat and rural or small town ways of life.

Opposition against shipping our finite natural resources to other countries, for the short term economic benefit of the few is building all over Canada.

We need to find a balance so we can foster development and not exploitation.

We are entering what I believe; will be a time of civil disobedience, if our democratic system continues fails us, as it seems to have done with Harper’s majority and the omnibus bill that was recently passed in the House of Commons.

Anne Parizot Prince Rupert

Of hypocrites and pipelines Editor: Daniel Wood has written an excellent article about the Delta project in Tsawwassen!

He described in detail how the proposed development will ride roughshod over existing ALR (Agricultural Land Reserve) laws. It leaves out very little.

The ALR is one of the few NDP laws in B.C. I fully supported.

However, here, in the Lower Mainland, you do not need my voice to defend environmental issues. There are more than enough others setting their hair on fire about having more than one tanker per week in the harbour of Vancouver. (We should ask them when and how the last ships collided in the Suez Canal!...) To them, spotting a pair of lost hummingbirds around Christmas time is a sure sign of the coming destruction of the planet...

I, on the other hand, would like to express my amazement that it takes Daniel Wood to

“It also destroys... the myth that Canada’s First Nations are the better stewards of the land.

- Ziggy Eckardt

draw our attention to what is going on environmentally at our door steps. Where is Ben West of the Wilderness Committee?

Where are the martyrs ready to step in front of the bulldozers?

Where are the millions of dollars to be sprayed about like weedkiller, the way we do to oppose a one yard wide trench up north to accommodate a pipeline?

Is this finally confirmation that all the hoopla about getting our Alberta oil to market is not about environmental concerns at all?

Once we have black-topped our farmland in Delta it will be gone for good. That trench up north will re-grow exactly the same weeds, bushes or trees if we leave it alone. Any concerns our environmentalists may have about pipelines always involve predictions of unavoidable disasters. A 60-year clean record of Kinder-Morgan means nothing to them and there are obviously many naive supporters who will gladly ignore all available data.

It also destroys once and for all the myth that Canada’s First Nations are the better stewards of the land.

In addition, it shows up the NDP and our environmentalists for the hypocrites they really are.

Patrol boat and crew safeguard harbour

RE:PORT

s business at the Port of Prince Rupert has grown, so too has the need to keep a vigilant watch over harbour activity.

The Port Security Operations Centre (PSOC) is responsible for monitoring the entirety of the Port of Prince Rupert through a network of surveillance cameras and security personnel. But it requires the support of a capable vessel and experienced crew on the water to investigate and respond to harbour incidents in-person.

In 2010, the Prince Rupert Port Authority commissioned a new harbour patrol vessel to be built locally by Broadwater Industries to replace the aging M.V. Charles Hays port vessel—which served for 22 years. The new and improved Charles Hays was launched in April 2011. It was the largest boat that Broadwater had built to date.

The 12-metre vessel is equipped with twin Volvo Penta diesel 330 horsepower D6 engines, has a maximum speed of 35 knots and a range of 300 nautical miles.

The Charles Hays is responsible for enforcing the Canada Marine Act and its regulations within harbour limits. Duties of the patrol vessel and its crew include: q monitoring infrastructure across the 366 kilometres of coastline the Port Authority is mandated to steward; q performing escorts of inbound and outbound container ships, ensuring environmental compliance by port terminals and ships at anchor; q monitoring the harbour anchorages to maintain the safety and security of ships waiting to berth at port terminals; q enforcing designated speed zones; and q providing port orientations for corporate and government officials visiting Prince Rupert.

“We can be out on the water at all hours of night if required,” said Steve Robin, Supervisor of Marine Operations for the Prince Rupert Port Authority.

“Just recently the Charles Hays responded to significant incidents— including a tsunami warning and a container vessel grounding, both of which saw us at station throughout the night. We’ve dealt with fires on the water, assisted mariners in distress, performed perimeter security on the waterfront during a bomb threat, and the list goes on.

“We’ve doubled our staff over the last year to meet the growing demand for the services we provide on a daily basis.”

The four full-time crew members of the Charles Hays and the Port Authority’s Operations department work closely with marine stakeholders like the RCMP, Canada Border Service Agency, Canadian Coast Guard and Western Canada Marine Response Corporation (WCMR) to coordinate safe and efficient activity in Prince Rupert’s coastal waters.

“The Charles Hays is just one of the many well-fitted vessels in Prince Rupert,” said Robin. “The Royal Canadian Marine Search and Rescue’s Orme G. Stuart, WCMR’s Eagle Bay and the Coast Guard’s environmental response vessel are all examples of the capacity that exists to orchestrate coordinated response to marine situations of every kind. We’re very fortunate to have such extensive resources and support in Prince Rupert to keep our harbour one of the safest in North America.”

Too good or too simple?

Editor: In one of Aesop’s fables there is this dog walking along who has a big hunk of cheese in his mouth. As he is carrying it along he comes to a river and looks into the water. In the river’s reflection he sees another dog with an even bigger hunk of cheese, so the dog drops the one he has and goes after it. The outcome of course is that the dog loses everything.

According to Statistics Canada’s website we are the 11th wealthiest nation in the world; 75 per cent of Canada’s population work is in the service industry. Our GDP

by Sector according to the same source is: Agriculture: 1.9 per cent, Industry: 27.1 per cent, Services: 71 per cent (2011 est.) Further it is noted that we are a net exporter of energy products in the amount of 2.9 per cent of GDP. We have accomplished this amazing status and accompanying quality of life through hard work, cooperation and careful management.

Right now, fear-mongers and purveyors of wishful thinking are trying to convince us that if we don’t drop our big hunk of cheese in the river, billions and billions of hunks of cheeses will be lost forever, opportunities will never come again.

Before buying into such a fantasy, look to the quality of life we already have. Consider that we are a wealthy G8 First world country with many options and opportunities. Consider that it can be right to say no to some projects or to postpone them.

Consider that small communities can be left with huge clean up bills, worn out infrastructure, high taxes, worn down civil and social services and polluted food sources after the big capitalist makes their pass.

Preachers of oversimplification and wishful thinking may try to

“The outcome, of course, is the dog loses everything.”

- Peter Christensen

persuade us that the 598 bitumen deposits in 23 countries are just “natural oil spills” in need of cleaning up by the captains of industry who will lower their draw bridges, ride out from the city states on white chargers, flags waving and trumpets blaring, torches aflame and burn up or ship out all that nasty stuff, and in doing so save our economy and the environment in one fell swoop.

Well it does sound pretty good, maybe too good or maybe just too simple.

Maybe there is more to it than patronizing messages, flag-waving and green-tinted guarantees penned by high-paid corporate evangelists.

You know the ones, kind of like those loan sharks who three years ago devalued your savings and personal pension plans by 50 per cent by lending money for next-tonothing, with no down-payments and no collateral, then packaged and sold the bad debt at a discount to the banks, who then dropped your big hunk of cheese in the river and ended up with nothing except it was you that had to cover their losses with your hard-earned dollars.

It’s those guys I think we should watch out for!

u UNEMPloyment rises

Job creation evident in LNG plan: Ministry

By Quinn Bender The Northern View

As the North Coast sees further decline in the full-time job market, Victoria continues to hold up the LNG industry as an economic saviour for the region.

The Ministry of Energy, Mines and Natural Gas, Rich Coleman, has issued a report that all but cements Victoria’s commitment to the LNG economy, saying the province is showing signs of major job-growth potential in the LNG export industry that will likely surpass the BC Jobs Plan.

“The market potential is clear, and demand for LNG is growing,” said Coleman. “Our LNG Strategy has attracted the interest of the world, and the progress made to date is proof that we are destined to be a global supplier of natural gas.

LNG is an unprecedented opportunity to build economic wealth for our province and to build a lasting legacy.”

The ministry reported significant investments of approximately $6 billion have been made into B.C. to prepare and accelerate the province’s growth prospects, with an additional $1 billion to further LNG proposals.

In the past year the ministry says it has examined and adjusted its strategy to encourage industry growth, which includes the start of a workforce and training plan, discussions with industry on cost-sharing arrangement for hydro infrastructure and discussions with proponents on an updated Clean Energy Act that includes a “cost-competitive” option of gas-fired electricity generation.

B.C.’s LNG potential will be the highlight of an international conference this month in Vancouver, at which the province wants to present itself as an “emerging energy powerhouse” to serve Asia Pacific markets with a stable, long-term supply of natural gas.

In a separate press release, the minister responsible for labour, Pat Bell, said despite current job losses in the province, the government has a plan and they’re sticking to it.

“It is always difficult to see job losses in British Columbia. But we… continue to see investment, and with that investment will come jobs.”

u Airport renovations on the agenda

Calgary, Edmonton, Vegas, Westjet out of YPR?

By Martina Perry The Northern View

YPR is eying new flights in 2013.

After another year of increased passenger traffic, Prince Rupert’s airport is looking to add new flight destinations — including Calgary, Edmonton and Las Vegas.

YPR manager Rick Reed confirmed Prince Rupert’s Adventure Tours has teamed up with Alberta-based Classic Canadian Tours to make two flights into the airport this year with tourists destined for the Khutzeymateen Valley.

This will be the first time flights in and out of YPR have connected to anywhere but Vancouver.

Passengers will arrive from Calgary and Edmonton before boarding Adventure Tours’ catamaran. Both flights will arrive in July. Reed also hinted the airport is working to get a flight to and from Las Vegas.

“We’re hoping to see fruition there as well,” Reed said.

More than 58,600 passengers went through the airport between January and December of 2012, signifying a two per cent growth over 2011. Additionally, there was a 4.48 per cent increase this January compared to January 2012.

of course!

“We had a very positive interview with them...”

- Rick Reed

As for airport upgrades, YPR submitted an application to Transport Canada last summer to access funds from ACAP to redo the asphalt at the facility, including the runway.

If funding is provided, the project would be underway this summer. The estimated value of the project is $10.5 million, with ACAP funding covering 95 per cent of costs.

Another project YPR will work toward is the refurbishment of the air terminal building.

“It’s 55 years old and very little has been done to it over the years,” Reed said.

He added the airport also needs to be expanded, particularly in the holding room and the baggage claiming area to

accommodate upcoming construction projects, and to handle the increase in passengers the airport is expecting to see because of these projects.

“Our holding room is sometimes challenged, particularly if we have two flights at the same time,” he said.

Reed also said the terminal’s bathrooms need to be updated.

“We’re going to knock everything up a notch as this is the first point of entry for many of Prince Rupert’s visitors. We also want the community to feel proud of the facility,” he said.

At this time YPR is still searching for funding in order to carry out the renovations and expansion.

Another subject building anticipation for YPR is whether Prince Rupert will be selected as one of the communities Westjet will begin to serve. Westjet invited YPR, along with 34 other airports across the country, to pitch the facility in hopes of becoming one of the destinations Encore, Westjet’s new regional airline, will serve.

“We had a very positive interview with them, but we have to wait to see what the outcome is,” Reed said.

Westjet’s decision is expected to be made in the spring.

u fundraiser

Cameroon children the focus

By Quinn Bender The Northern View

Prince Rupert will be hosting a night to remember at the Crest Hotel Feb. 16, as community members and leaders come together for the children of Cameroon. The fundraising effort is put on by the Okala Foundation that assists remote villages in Cameroon with the provision of schoolbooks, nutritious food and mosquito nets to prevent the spread of malaria.

Some of the highlights for the evening include a live auction, an international buffet created by local chefs as well as Michelin-rated chef Dominique Dien. The evening will end with a Valentine’s Day-themed dance.

Organizers are asking the business community for donations to the auction.

The Okala foundation is a grass roots, registered Canadian charitable organization that has been operating in Cameroon since 2006. It currently connects over 400 children with sponsors.

Last year the proceeds raised in Prince Rupert allowed the organization to purchase a its first medical clinic, complete with beds. The year prior, funds from Prince Rupert resulted in clean drinking water to three schools.

u Community groups explain expenditures

City urging groups to find other funding sources

By Martina Perry The Northern View

Three Prince Rupert Community Enhancement Grant recipients showed city councillors grant money is paying off.

The City has asked groups receiving Community Enhancement Grants to give council an understanding of what they’re doing with the money in the interest of public transparency.

“How taxpayers’ money is being spent is always a challenge for council. We must make sure the money is being used in the best way possible for the community at large… I’m pleased with how the groups are using the money, however I would more encouraged if each group could find funding from other sources also,” Jack Mussallem, Prince Rupert’s mayor, told the Prince Rupert Northern View.

Glenn Hauptman and Richard Adams from the Prince Rupert Golf Club told council the $40,000 capital grant, as well as a $103,000 operating grant will allow the golf facility to make improvements, like the replacement of the green on holes five and nine, drainage upgrades and ongoing aesthetic

enhancements. The Prince Rupert Port Authority donated $20,500, while other corporate donations totalled $7,000.

Derek Baker from the Prince Rupert and Port Edward Economic Development Corporation (PREDC), a nonprofit organization that is receiving a $87,500 contribution from the City this year to promote economic development in the region, said 2012 was a very active year in respect to investment attraction and facilitation.

“We’ve been very proactive with proponents such as BG, Petronas, Spectra and Pinnacle to ensure these projects receive the support they need to have the best opportunity to proceed,” he said.

In 2012, the group received grants to hire a temporary grant writer for the City of Prince Rupert and Skeena-Queen Charlotte Regional District.

That writer is Blair Mirau, who wrote more than $20 million in funding proposals last year, with $750,000 being approved to date, and numerous more being reviewed.

The Economic Development Corporation took on a number of projects last year, including a lead

Strict marine safety standards will ensure we respect our neighbours above, around and below us.

Although tankers have been safely navigating the north coast and its channels for decades, marine safety remains a top priority for British Columbians. We have been planning the Northern Gateway Project for over a decade, with a particular focus on protecting the environment. We have added specific safety requirements to our marine operations plan to help make the waters of the north coast safer not just for tankers serving the project, but for all marine vessels.

Tankers will reduce speeds in the channels…

Qualified BC Coast Pilots will board and guide all tankers… To prevent spills, all tankers serving the project will be modern and double-hulled, and will be vetted by independent, third party agencies before entering Canadian waters.

Once strict safety and environmental standards are met, they will be guided through the Douglas and Principe Channels by qualified BC Coast Pilots.

Tankers travel slowly, but to make sure that marine species and their habitats are respected, tankers will be required to reduce speed as they pass through certain sections of the channels. Even their escort tugboats will have quieter engines to reduce underwater noise.

Powerful tugboats will escort tankers…

Additional radar and navigational aids will improve safety for all vessels…

Tugboats have been shown to significantly reduce tanker incidents worldwide. Powerful tugboats that have been specially commissioned for Northern Gateway will assist in the safe arrival and departure of tankers.

All tankers will be attended by a close escort tug. In the channels, laden tankers will have two tugs–one tethered at all times. These tugboats will have emergency response equipment on board and will be capable of assisting any marine vessel.

Ad #EN018-11/12E REV

For increased safety and sure guidance, additional radar systems and navigational aids, such as beacons, buoys and lights, will be installed throughout the routes. This will not only improve safety for tankers, but for all marine traffic on the north coast.

Discover more about our rigorous marine safety plan and join the conversation at marine.northerngateway.ca.

It’s more than a pipeline.

It’s a path to delivering energy safely.

Ballet Jorgen celebrated its 25th year with a coast-to-coast tour of the classic ballet production, Swan Lake, which included a stop in Prince Rupert last week. Bengt Jorgen, artistic director and CEO, decided to switch things up for the Swan Lake tour by incorporating locals from each community the dance company visited. In Prince Rupert, 11 students from Spectrum City Dance and one from the Prince Rupert Dance Academy were featured in the performance, as well as a student from the drama department at Charles Hays Secondary School.

Stand-up comedians turn left for ANBT

“I have an outsider’s perspective. A lot of the stuff I talk about are tender issues — like adoption and suicide. From my point of view these are things I’m told I should be concerned about, but because I was raised outside Aboriginal culture I just don’t know.

I’m sympathetic, but also naive and sarcastic.”

Fehler says his audience is expanding as he matures as a writer and gains perspective.

“I don’t point fingers and point out the obvious stereotypes. I talk about my experience, about being adopted, not speaking

www.thenorthernview.com

A&E Cree. You know, again, people tell me I need to learn the language, and I say ‘really?’ I don’t know these things! I grew up speaking German.”

Fehler and Majore were already touring in north-central BC when the All Native Tournament entered their radar. They decided to “turn left” for a special visit to Prince Rupert.

“I haven’t been too involved in my [Cree] culture very much in my life,” says Fehler, “but I’m super supportive of Aboriginal events. It’s good to be a part of something like this.”

Brian Majore has performed all over

Canada at Native conferences, theatres, and “dive bars,” with appearances on TV, radio and in national magazines.

Fehler won first place at Edmonton’s “So You Think You’re Funny” comedy competition, and first in Calgary’s Funnyfest Talent Search 2011.

Audiences will have two chances to catch the show tomorrow evening, Feb. 14, at 8 p.m. and 10 pm at the Moose Hall in Prince Rupert.

u IN BRIEF

Stewart passes away Former player, coach and dedicated fan of the All Native Basketball Tournament, James Stewart, has died.

Recently Stewart was featured with his wife Simone in the ANBT souvenir program, written

by The Northern View, detailing their love of the tournament.

The family says he passed away in his sleep in the early morning of Feb. 3, after battling a series James Stewart of ailments following a stroke last year.

In 1958, Stewart played for the Centennial Team in high school, and was simultaneously the high scorer in the Senior league in Prince Rupert.

He also served in the Intermediate ‘A’ Basketball League and for Fraser and Payne in the 1954 season, which was part of the split Rainmaker team.

Notably, Stewart starred with New Aiyansh and the Chiefs, hitting the courts in the first ANBT in 1960. As a player or as a fan he never missed a tournament.

“There’s no question, he loved basketball,” says his son Farley Stewart. “But he was a family man first. He was always there for the kids.”

With his church, with a neighbour or with a stranger, the family says Stewart was generous with his time and resources in a moment of need.

Friends and fans will miss Stewart in his usual No. 14 seat under the ANBT basket, but the family says it will be his compassion and sense of humour they miss most. He was 78.

No Alaskans this year A quick look through All Native Basketball Team rosters this year show that, for the first time in a long time, the tournament is made up entirely of Canadian teams. According to Carle Sr., who coached the Hydaburg seniors to their record seven wins, a lot of the reason for their absence actually comes down to federal law.

“The U.S. recognizes the Jay Treaty [signed in 1794] where natives can travel back and forth between Canada and the U.S. Freely. Natives coming to the United States from Canada don’t need a passport, but natives from Alaska traveling to Canada do,” he said, adding that any flags in terms of a criminal record can prevent players from competing.

“It came down to a question of getting the boys down there. We almost felt discriminated against as American natives coming to Canada.

“It is just too bad it had to come down to a question of politics because it is such a great tournament,” he said.

In addition to the political aspect, Carle said the economy and the difficulty in raising funds in small, remote communities makes it hard.

“This is just me, but I wouldn’t look for the teams to come back for quite some time.”

When the All Native Basketball Tournament reestablishes itself as an international event remains to be seen, but the impact of U.S. players and teams on the current tournament cannot be understated.

u Defending champs odds-on favourites

Who’s gonna win the 2013 All Native titles?

By Martina Perry The Northern View

“When you ha ve a calibre of player like Greg Charlie, you’re going to have a good chance.”

By the time the ink hits this page, George Sampson will either be back as the rules chairman on the All Native Basketball Tournament board of directors or in Las Vegas prognosticating on the NBA. Sampson sat down with the Prince Rupert Northern View to lend his experience and expertise to attempt to forecast who will be playing in the championship games on Saturday.

Sampson said the most successful teams in the tournament contain players who know each other well on the court.

“If you look at the top community teams, they are the ones that consistently play together… the champions are those who have followed the path, winning with their own community,” Sampson said.

The Senior Skidegate Saints prove that point, with Sampson predicting the defending champions will make it to the top again this year. Another team Sampson says is likely to make it to the top is Ahousat, who were the runner-ups in 2012.

The two teams also have a long-standing rivalry. In the Saints’ Intermediate days, the team won the division championship in 2000, 2001, 2003 and 2004. Stopping the Saints from five consecutive years of championship titles was Ahousat, who took the top spot in the Intermediate division in 2002.

Sampson said the same thing happened even earlier, during the teams’ Junior days.

“By Ahousat not allowing them to make it five straight wins in both divisions, there’s naturally a rivalry there,” he said.

But the Saints’ rivals don’t end there. Skidegate and Prince Rupert’s Senior team, the Friendship House Chiefs, also play heated games against each other, with the teams facing off against one another often because of location. And that familiarity breeds rivalry.

Other teams Sampson anticipates will do well in the tournament include the Chiefs, Bella Bella, Van City and Kincolith.

In the Women’s division, Sampson foresees defending champions Nanaimo coming out on top once again.

“In last year’s final they were much stronger than Kitamaat,” Sampson said, George Sampson adding the ladies were very competitive and smart.

Although 2012 was the first time Nanaimo won the Women’s banner, they beat defending champs Kitamaat 69-47 in the final.

Sampson said a number of teams could meet them in the finals, whether it’s Metlakatla B.C., Prince Rupert, Canon City, or All Native Qualifying Tournament winners Bella Coola. He also didn’t rule out a dark horse team like Ahousat, as a likely top team.

Sampson is predicting the Intermediate division defending champions Ahousat will come out victorious once again, with the help of 2012 MVP Greg Charlie Jr. “When you have a calibre player like Greg Charlie, you’re going to have a good chance,” Sampson said.

Sampson said if Ahousat and Port Simpson were to meet up again, it would be a heated game following last year’s Intermediate final that saw Ahousat beat Port Simpson by just one point.

Additionally, Sampson said Bella Bella, Skidegate and Prince Rupert are likely to land in the top of the Intermediate’s division.

In the Masters’ division, Sampson predicted the teams most likely to make it to the top are Greenville, Bella Bella and defending champions Prince Rupert.

Greenville has two young Masters, Jacob Stewart and Merlin Robinson, that are both over 6 ft in height and have heavy builds, which Sampson said should let them be able to control their boards.

u Coastal tournament not the beginning

The real history of the All Native Basketball Tournament

By Quinn Bender

ANBT from Page 17

The Northern View

Sampson said he wouldn’t be surprised to see Bella Bella walk away with it all, with the return of player Mitch Martin, who won MVP in the Intermediate division in 1989, and in the Masters’ division in 2008, 2010 and 2011. Also playing on Bella Bella is Cliff Starr Jr. who has been named MVP while playing in the Intermediate, Senior and Master divisions, and Trevor Humchitt who was named MVP in the Intermediate division in 1988.

“In other words, Bella Bella’s got themselves a good team,” said Sampson.

This year, the committee is enforcing the removal of the “ringer rule” which they say will even out the tournament and will give players and fans a better sense of community pride.

Although Sampson is confident in his picks, he says it’s hard to accurately predict what the results will be in the end.

“It’s so wide open…

The whole tournament is levelling off,” he said.

Today it is the most talked about event of the year in Prince Rupert, drawing an estimated 3,000 people from around the province and depositing $4 million into the Prince Rupert economy in just one week.

It is an unparalleled social bombshell, planned for and relied upon for reunions among families and friends. But at its core inter-village rivalry is paramount. And from its tenuous beginnings it was that alone which sowed the seed for the All Native Basketball Tournament.

However, the tournament has been dogged by misconceptions of how it really started.

ANBT president Peter Haugan said a few passionate young athletes asked a couple of equally-passionate bar owners to help them carry a spirited backwoods tournament into the city.

“It’s a common misconception that the Coastal Native Basketball Tournament in the 1940s was the predecessor of All Native Basketball Tournament, but that’s not the case. People consider it to be ‘all native,’ sure, but it has nothing to do with the [current] ANBT. “It was a standalone tournament in Prince Rupert that died when organizers started rotating it through villages. They wanted to share the revenues, but the isolated locations simply couldn’t handle crowds,” Haugan said.

As a decade passed, villages across the North routinely held their own tournaments, but because travel was arduous, or downright impossible, they drew just a few teams from neighbouring villages. One exception was the Easter Basketball Tournament in Old Aiyansh. There was an intense rivalry among the four villages in the Nass Valley that produced some highly-competitive basketball.

As word spread, more villages made the trip from across the North.

The Northern View archive

Kitkatla won the first Northern British Columbia Indian Championship Tournament in 1947, but it wasn’t until 1958 that today’s All Native Basketball Tournament took shape.

People like Irwin Garfield.

He was the owner of Prince Rupert’s Empress Hotel. Passionate about sports he sponsored two Native teams, one basketball, the other soccer, and travelled with them often to games and tournaments.

In 1958, a few of the players from his Prince Rupert soccer team invited him to the Easter basketball tournament in their home village of Old Aiyansh. Their goal was to let Garfield see firsthand the level of play. They invited him again the next year then planted the seed for what became the All Native Basketball Tournament.

“Garfield could see the competitiveness between the teams,” says Haugan. “Off the court they were all friends, but on the court they were playing to win. He could see there was

quite a rivalry between nations like Nisga’a and Tsimshian.”

But it was suffering from the same ailment that killed the Coastal Native Basketball Tournament.

The passion, the rivalry and the skill were in good supply, but there were no rooms or amenities to support the crowds.

“It got too big and too expensive,” says Nelson Morven, one of Garfield’s former players. “There were no roads except old logging roads. People had to travel by boat up the river, and we had to go down to Kincolith to pick up other teams in open boats, those long river boats. We ran out of places to billet out. In some cases whole teams were staying in one house.”

Garfield, rivalry driving force behind tournament

At Your Service

HISTORY from Page 18 On the court, the game was marred by a strong bias among referees to favour their home team.

Morven knew the tournament couldn’t last. The location was eroding every aspect of the game—for the players and the fans.

But it was too special to let the spirit of the event slip away, even if it mean reinventing the tournament elsewhere.

In 1959, Morven — and his manager Sid Eligh, coach Rod Tate, and players Burt Mercer, Max Wright and Peter Clayton — approached Garfield with a proposition: if he could organize the logistics for a large tournament in Prince Rupert, they would motivate the teams to get there.

“The Native guys had the connections to the communities,” says Haugan. “What Garfield had was the connections to finance this thing. It was that conjunction that made it work: Natives knowing who to contact in the communities, and then this bar owner to know the business in Prince Rupert.”

Garfield teamed up with the owner of the Royal Hotel then sat down with the Prince Rupert Basketball Association in 1959 and presented this vision for a new tournament.

Sitting at the table were referees, the president of the league and coaches. It was a natural fit to bring all the nations to Prince Rupert. It was a neutral court in a central location with enough facilities for the throngs of fans.

The idea was attractive. The problem was, the league did not have the resources to get it running.

Garfield went door-to-door, asking merchants for money on credit. It was presumptuous, but he possessed a unique balance of business sense and passion to pull it off.

“He knew business really well,” says Morven. “But he was also like a father figure to us. He treated everyone equally and had no harsh words for anybody. He was the right man for this.

The next year, in 1960, the first All Native Basketball Tournament drew 13 teams to the small gymnasium of Roosevelt Park. The spirited brand of all-Native sport drew enough ticket sales for Garfield to pay not only his

creditors, but enough to give the Prince Rupert Basketball League and every team in the tournament a cash stipend of $200 — the equivalent of roughly $1,560 today.

The tournament’s capacity to pay for itself has been an incalculable source of pride for stakeholders since Day 1. It’s one of the few sporting events of its kind that offers a per diem to all its staff, volunteers and teams.

At its peak, tournament organizers paid out $80,000 for these expenses. Last year it was

Haugan says the tournament ends up giving more money back to the teams than they pay in entrance fees.

Until 15 years ago, this kind of profitsharing was the product of ticket sales alone—fan support. But as the tournament exploded from one tiny gym to two full-sized courts with NBA nets, it became evident commercial sponsors—advertisers—needed to get involved.

“You can only push ticket prices up so much before you have to face the inevitable,” says Haugan, adding the ANBT has never asked for a single grant or public money of any kind.

“The tournament started off as a sporting event, and it quickly became a social event as well. People could all come to Prince Rupert to see people they haven’t seen in a year.

That’s why the tournament was so popular, so quick.”

Happy Valentine’s Day $183,000 Prince Rupert TOTAL RAISED

“Blessed is he who is kind to the needy” - Proverbs 14:21 We love you because you are the most amazing people ever!

THE GOAL $150,000 $140,000

Once again you have overwhelmed us with your heart and generosity for those in need in our community. Because of you, we were able to provide 858 hampers — more than 2,700 adults and children received food and toys for Christmas valued at more than $85,000.

$120,000

Your example of giving spurred on hamper recipients to give their change for change. Their generosity raised $2,700 which was enough to supply 90 families in Third World countries with clean water for life.

$100,000

$80,000

$60,000

Your help will continue to give through the year, as we will be able to continue to help more than 300 families a month through our food bank and serve more than 48,000 meals at a cost of $215,000 for the year.

This task is impossible without your help and we thank you on behalf of those who benefit from your kindness.

To all the businesses, organizations, churches and individuals who helped to “Be a Part of it ALL”, please accept our heartfelt appreciation and gratitude for your support and trust as we work to help our community on your behalf.

Together we are making a difference!

$40,000

$20,000

“I expect to pass through life once.

If therefore, there can be any kindness I can show, Or any good thing I can do to any fellow being, Let me do it now, and not defer or neglect it, As I shall not pass this way again.”

- William Penn

May God bless you richly in 2013, - Captains Gary and Nancy Sheils and the Prince Rupert Salvation Army
