The Prince Rupert Fire Department has concluded its investigation into the June 5 fire that destroyed North Coast Pacific Mini Storage, but what exactly caused the blaze remains unknown. “The fire originated in the breaker panel, but what tripped it or why it failed in unclear ... there are some pieces missing that we may never find,” said fire chief Dave MacKenzie, noting crews were still out this weekend digging through the debris. - Dave MacKenzie “We are 100 per cent sure it was not suspicious ... the propane, the boats, the cars, that wasn’t part of it. It was a contributing factor to the fire burning faster and hotter, but it wasn’t the cause of the fire.” Although the exact cause of the blaze is undetermined, Mackenzie said the fire department, insurance agent and the Office of the Fire Commissioner are satisfied it was an electrical fire and have called off any further investigation into the matter. The blaze completely destroyed the mini-storage warehouse and its contents.
Skeena sockeye fishery unlikely to open Forecast return well below needed numbers BY SHAUN THOMAS PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View
Commercial fishermen on the North Coast were dealt another blow this week with word that the 2013 Skeena River sockeye season is anything but a certainty. “Right now all indications are there is unlikely to be a commercial fishery this year ... our preliminary forecast is the return is between 600,000 and 800,000 and we do not open the commercial fishery until there are at least 1,050,000 sockeye, so our thought is that there will not be a commercial fishery this year,” said Mel Kotyk, North Coast area director with the Department of Fisheries and Oceans, who noted the situation could change.
“All indications are there is unlikely to be a commercial fishery this year.” - Mel Kotyk “We monitor the returns on a daily basis, and if that number does bump up, the fishery would open ... it will probably be another week or two until the majority of the fish return.” If the return was strong enough, the Skeena River sockeye fishery would open on July 12. Although that deadline may not be met, Joy
Thorkelson of the United Fishermen and Allied Workers Union said there is still an opportunity fishermen can benefit from the run. “Hope is not lost. It is not too late for the Skeena ... last year the fish arrived 10 days early. If the sockeye were 10 days late this year we could still have a good fishery,” she said. “The DFO predicted it would be a bad year and, unfortunately, that seems to be accurate.” Returns on the Nass River, meanwhile, are more than double the expected return. However, the fishery will be closing for two weeks on July 12 to allow a weak stock to pass through the system. “The hope was that the Nass would close on July 12 and the Skeena would open on July 12 ... but my guess is the Skeena won’t open on July 12,” said Thorkelson.

Real estate Crabbers withdraw survey support sales boom BY SHAUN THOMAS
PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View
BY SHAUN THOMAS PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View
Prince Rupert’s strong real estate market continues, with 70 more properties changing hands in the first half of 2013 than 2012. So far this year 153 properties of all types were sold compared to 83 through six months of 2012. While the number of properties sold hasn’t quite doubled, the total value of the sales has. The 153 properties this year have sold for a total of $33.2 million compared to $14.2 million for the 83 sold last year. Of those properties, 114 single family homes were sold at an average selling price of $193,756. Those numbers are the highest in the last three years, as 50 homes sold for an average of $193,223 in 2011 and 65 homes sold for an average of $193,534 in 2012. As of the end of June, there were 204 properties listed on the Multiple Listing Services in Prince Rupert. In comparison to other northwest communities, there were 124 properties sold for $26.9 million this year compared to 163 properties worth $28.8 million sold last year in Kitimat and there were 180 properties worth $39.7 million sold this year in Terrace compared to 150 properties worth $29 million last year. However, the average home price in Prince Rupert was well below that of Kitimat or Terrace at $222,766 and $235,000 respectively.
Crab fishermen on the North Coast will no longer support crab surveys as the Area A Crab Association continues to protest a closure by the Department of Fisheries of Oceans that will result in “an economic catastrophe for the North Coast”. Every year since 1997, the crab fishermen have volunteered their time and provided funding for extensive soft-shell crab surveys to determine whether male crabs are moulting and the data from those surveys determines whether or not the fishery remains open. This year, the association says the result of eight surveys indicated no moulting was taking place so there was no reason to close the fishery. They say the DFO is ignoring the data being gathered. “Crab fishermen are incredibly proud of the strict monitoring and rigorous science we have pioneered and funded for the sustainability of our fishery,” said Paul Edwards, president of the Area “A” Crab Association and captain of a crab vessel. “We annually spend more than $100,000 on scientific surveys, but this year the Department of Fisheries and Oceans decided to ignore the scientific data and to arbitrarily close

the fishery. The fishermen aren’t going to continue to fund scientific research if the DFO is going to ignore and misinterpret the data from these surveys.” Without the surveys, the crab fishery will reopen on Aug 1. as outlined in the DFO’s Integrated Fisheries Management Plan. DFO North Coast area director Mel Kotyk said the department was still reviewing the implications of
the service withdrawal, but with no sampling program in place to collect the necessary data, the fishery could default to a March 1 to Aug. 1 closure on an annual basis as outlined in the management plan The fishermen, however, expressed further frustration after the DFO “denied repeated requests from fishermen to have a formal meeting with scientists and managers to review the controversial decision”.

Unemployment drops below seven per cent By Rod Link PRINCE RUPERT / Black Press
June unemployment figures for the region show the jobs picture continues to improve. Statistics Canada figures indicate 40,400 people were working in the area from the North Coast to just this side of Vanderhoof in June, an increase of 700 over May. And as the number of people working edges up, the number of unemployed has dropped – from 3,300 in May to 2,900 in June. The combination of more people working and fewer unemployed reduced the regional jobless rate to 6.7 per cent, a full percentage point reduction from May’s 7.7 per cent. June’s figures also show a marked improvement over last year when the jobless rate was 12.2 per cent. And 500 more people were listed as working in June compared to June 2012. June’s jobless rate of 6.7 per cent also places the region within range of not having the worst jobless in the province. The Lower Mainland, for example, has a jobless rate of 6.6 per cent while the Thompson-Okanagan posted a jobless rate of 6.5 per cent. The northeast continues to have the lowest jobless rate in B.C., posting a 4.9 per cent figure in June. Provincially, the jobless rate is 6.4 per cent.

Jones named new superintendent By Shaun Thomas PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View
A replacement has been found for outgoing Prince Rupert School Distirtc superintendent Lynn Hauptman. On Monday, the board announced that Sandra Jones, who had been named acting superintendent in
June, had been hired to fill the role on a permanent basis effective July 4, 2013. The selection comes after Make-aFuture was contracted by the board of education to search out the best candidate for the position. “We are very excited to find that the best candidate was Sandra Jones, someone we all know very well,” said
board chair Tina Last. “We look forward to her contribution to the district in her new role.” Jones spent last year as the assistant superintendent after years as principal of Charles Hays Secondary School and is a familiar face to most having worked for the Prince Rupert School District since 1982.

MP and region on parallel path
S
itting down in Cowpuccino’s with MP Nathan Cullen late last month, I got to thinking not only about how far he had come in his political career but how far we as a region have come since he upset incumbent Andy Burton in 2004. When you think about it, there is an easy parallel to be drawn between the two. When Cullen was elected in 2004, he was a backbench MP in the fourth largest party in the house. He was, essentially, unimportant in the grand political scheme of things. People across the country weren’t paying attention to what he was doing or what he had to say. Internationally, he was persona non grata, not at really worth a mention on the global Shaun Thomas scale. Fast forward to today. Cullen is the House Leader for the Official Opposition, making him one of the more important figures in Canadian politics. While before the Prime Minister was not inclined to listen to a lowly NDP MP, you can bet he’s interested now. The northwest, for the past several years, was fairly unimportant on the national stage. People weren’t paying attention to what was happening here and, economically, the region was floundering following the closure of Watson Island, saw mills in Terrace and Kitwanga and both Eurocan and Methanex in Kitimat. Fast forward to today and the eyes of the country are on the northwest. Any industry that is looking to get their goods to market are looking to Prince Rupert and Kitimat, whether it’s coal, oil, liquefied natural gas or potash. When people in the region do or say something about these developments, whether it be mass protests or municipal or First Nations opposition, it’s picked up by national media. But it’s not just Canada. The international community is also turning to the north coast with companies such the BG Group, Exxon and Petronas proposing development and Asian economies depending on Prince Rupert for trade. It’s an interesting parallel. But let’s be honest, saying one is directly responsible for the other would be a fallacy.

Partnership is the key Crab closure misleading: DFO to safe vessel transits Letters to the editor
Editor: An article that appeared July 3 in The Northern View on the Area A crab fishery contains information that is misleading to your readers. The writer appears to dismiss information from Fisheries and Oceans Canada that sufficient data is necessary to protect crab during their vulnerable, soft-shell period. I can assure you the department takes conservation seriously. The reporter was provided with a link to the Integrated Fisheries Management Plan for crab, which clearly states that a closure would occur between March 1 to Aug. 1 to protect crab during a period of extreme sensitivity and reproduction. This year, the closure was modified while a sampling program gathered information to determine there was no risk to the resource. The sampling program did not indicate that the fishery could remain open. Consequently the fishery will close July 5 to Aug. 1.
“I can assure you the department takes conservation seriously.”
- Mel Kotyk It is also inaccurate to state that the closure came as a surprise to harvesters as consultations – through the annual Integrated Fisheries Management Plan process - have been ongoing, beginning in February through until June. Harvesters are also aware that a closure between March and August is not new, with closures happening at this time of year for more than 10 years, as part of the management plan.

War on drugs worthwhile

The loss of health, ambition, enterprise and intestinal fortitude in those who abuse this drug is incalculable.

RE:PORT
paramount role in any worldclass port is that of Harbour Master. This is the team that leads the collaborative efforts for ensuring the safety of navigation and the security of operations within the harbour limits. The Prince Rupert Port Authority’s Harbour Master’s team is working closely with its many partners to coordinate the 450+ vessel calls expected in 2013. In this column we’ve looked at the roles played by each of those partners. It’s time to put it all together to follow a commercial vessel from sea to terminal. A full 96 hours prior to arrival in Prince Rupert, Transport Canada requires a report from an inbound ship. This report lists its last ten ports of call, validates its security clearance certificate, and guarantees there are no major mechanical issues or deficiencies with the vessel. At the same time, Canadian Coast Guard’s Marine Communications and Traffic Services (MCTS) begins tracking that vessel, and a ship’s agent in Prince Rupert is contracted to represent the interests of the vessel while it is in our waters. At 48 hours prior to arrival, the Port Authority adds another layer of safety and security. It begins to track the approaching vessel through the Port Security Operations Centre (PSOC). PSOC monitors the vessel using the electronic Automatic Identification System (AIS), supplemented by cameras that visually track ship movements within harbour limits. The security administered by PSOC is conducted in collaboration with Canada Border Services Agency and the RCMP, and is manned 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. When the commercial ship reaches the marine pilot station at Triple Island, it is boarded by a BC Coast Pilot. The pilot meets with the ship’s captain on the bridge, completes a team briefing with the bridge staff and assumes navigational control. If the vessel is going to anchor in the harbour to await loading at a terminal, the Harbour Master’s team will assign and communicate which of the 30 anchorage positions the ship will use. If the vessel is going directly to a terminal berth, support from the tugs of SMIT Marine will be mobilizing around this time. This tug service is ordered by the ship’s agent, but the number and type of tugs required for safe navigation and docking can be improved at the discretion of the BC Coast Pilot and the captain of the ship, as they consider factors that include wind, tide, current and ship specifications. Tugs typically join inbound ships in the vicinity of the Kinahan Islands. Vessels proceeding to the outer harbour berths at Ridley Island are escorted by tugs and under the Pilot’s control are maneuvered to berth. Container ships inbound for the inner harbour have a tug tethered to the stern of the ship. When a tug is tethered, it attaches itself by a line or steel wire rope and is able to provide direct control, keeping the big vessel safe and on course. Once the ship is approaching a terminal berth, a smaller tug will join in and assist in docking by pushing against the bow of the ship. From the time the first tug joins, the tug operators and the BC Coast Pilot are in constant communication to coordinate the speed, timing and force used to gently bring the ship safely alongside the terminal. The successful transit of commercial vessels in and out of the Port of Prince Rupert happens every day. It’s the result of teamwork by many dedicated, professional port partners and stakeholders.

Fewer containers at Fairview
By Martina Perry PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View
The Prince Rupert Port Authority (PRPA) experienced decreases in cargo across all aspects its operation in June. This June there were 43,904 20-foot equivalent units (TEUs) handled through Fairview Terminal compared to 52,454 TEUs in June, 2012, a 16 per cent difference year-over-year. Both imports and exports this June were down from last year, with imports dropping by 17 per cent and exports by 15 per cent. The total number of TEUs imported through Fairview last month was 24,764 compared to 29,881, with exports TEUs being 19,140 compared to 22,573. The year-to-date total of TEUs moved through Fairview Terminal in 2013 is 263,845 compared to 272,176 in 2012, a drop of three per cent. So far in 2013, imports are down six per cent, with exports being slightly up at 117,605 TEUs year-to-date compared to 117,392 TEUs in 2012, a zero per cent variance. Despite the decrease, the Prince Rupert Port Authority said it isn’t worried about traffic volume. “It’s tough to attribute the decline to any one thing. Last year was an outstanding year, particularly the second quarter, and we’re more or less tracking close to last year’s numbers. Do we have concerns about that decline? I wouldn’t say we do,” Veldman said. The most significant June decline happened
at the Harbour Terminal, which experienced a 46 per cent drop in the volume of logs exported. Last month 34,721 tonnes of product were moved compared to 63,967 in 2012. Despite the June figures, the number of logs moved year-to-date is up 28 per cent from 2012. Ridley Terminals saw the second highest decrease in tonnage year-over-year at 38 per cent, with 852,198 tonnes being moved this June compared to 1.38 million tonnage last June. However, Ridley is still up six per cent in the yearto-date tonnage in 2013. That trend continued with Prince Rupert Grain, which was down by 19 per cent in tonnage yearover-year but is up by seven per cent in tonnage year-to-date. Last month the operation moved 243,022 tonnes compared to 300,550 tonnes last June, with the year-to-date tonnage total being 2.69 million tonnes compared to 2.528 million tonnes in 2012. Overall tonnage through Prince Rupert fell of 31 per cent this June compared to last, but the port remains on track for a record year, up four per cent through the first six months having moved 11.5 million tonnes.
Pacific Northwest LNG took another step toward the construction of an export terminal on Lelu Island on Friday, submitting an LNG export licence application. The application is for the export of 19.68 million tonnes of LNG every year for the next 25 years beginning in 2019. “Today’s filing for a National Energy Board export licence is another important step to bring this tremendous opportunity to reality. We believe the successful completion of our project will
create long-term, multi-generational benefits for First Nations, Northwest B.C., the province and the country as a whole,” said Pacific Northwest LNG president Greg Kist. “While we continue to work to reach a final investment decision in late 2014, we believe that our project has all of the key components of a successful, world-class LNG development.” This marks the sixth LNG export licence in British Columbia, news Premier Christy Clark welcomed. “By increasing the demand and reach of our natural gas sector, we will create jobs, strengthen our economy and put British Columbia on a prosperous path,” she said.

We will be moving the service to Shopper’s Drug Mart in the Rupert Square Mall,” he explained. “Shopper’s Drug Mart won’t open with full service at first, but the post office boxes for general delivery will be available right away and they will be selling stamps ... once it gets ramped up, Shopper’s will be a full service location.” Caines said 7-11 made Canada Post aware of the decision to cease postal service months ago, but a second location needed to be confirmed before the closure moved ahead. “We just needed to get everything worked out with Shopper’s, which took a little longer than we expected,” he said. “We certainly plan to continue offering an outlet service as well as our corporate outlet on Third Avenue.”
A deep-rooted Prince Rupert business will be closing shop after nearly 70 years of operation. Signs advertising a closing-down sale were put up in the windows of Manson’s Jewellers last week, with the store’s owners planning to end operations in a number of months. “We’ll miss the people. The customers are just like family, they’ve come in for so many years. We have so many loyal customers,” said Valerie Blackstone, who owns Manson’s along with sister Vanny Palibroda and husband Jim Blackstone. Al and Bea Manson opened Manson’s Jewellers in Prince Rupert in 1945, with the store originally being located on Fourth Street. The business has been in its current location for about 50 years. The couple had three children, Blackstone, Vanny Palibroda and Alan Manson, who all worked in the store at some point. Both Palibroda and Blackstone started working parttime in their father’s store when they were in high school, moving up to full-time after graduation. “[The store] has been a really big part of our lives,” Valerie said.

had been discussing the idea of retiring and closing down the store for a number of years. After the passing of Alan last November, they decided it was time. “It hits home when you lose a loved one like that, especially when they’re younger than you. It makes you think about what’s important in life. It’s all about family ... you can only work for so long,” Valerie said. The Blackstone’s children all live in the Kelowna and Vancouver area, as well as their grandchildren. The couple is planning on moving down south to be closer to family in the future. “It’s time to go and enjoy life ... it’s a new chapter,” Jim said. Jim said he really enjoys being a goldsmith and appraiser at Manson’s,
but what he’ll miss most is the people. Valerie and Palibroda agree the hardest part will be saying goodbye to their customers. “I’ve been here so long, since I was about 16. You see the same people all the time. It’s really personal selling jewelry. You sell people an engagement ring, a wedding ring, then their baby gifts. You help them buy a gift for their first anniversary, then all of a sudden a special gift for their 25th anniversary,” said Palibroda, who is unsure of whether she will stay in Prince Rupert or not at this time. Manson’s Jewellers had as many as 12 employees in the past, and currently employs six staff including the Blackstones and Palibroda.

Seamen fall to Northmen in Terrace Team preparing for Riverboat Days tournament BY SHAUN THOMAS
“We competed hard and we played our best.”
PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View
The Prince Rupert Seamen Rugby Club started the 2013 Northern Rugby League season against the Terrace Northmen on July 6, but it wasn’t a weekend to remember for the team. “We lost badly. We competed hard and we played our best, but ultimately we weren’t able to match Terrace,” said George Baker, who noted the Northmen are always a challenge to play. “They’re playing Division II rugby and we’re just not at that level. They are always competitive, have a good shot at provincials this year and consistently get 30 players out for practice where we don’t have those numbers.” Next up for Prince Rupert will be another trip to Terrace to compete in the Riverboat Days 7s Tournament, which includes seven players per side taking to

- George Baker the pitch as opposed to the usual 15. “We’ll be sending one team for sure, and we may be sending two ... we came in second last year and have a good chance to win it this year,” said Baker. “We would like to see as many Prince Rupert people in Terrace as possible on Saturday to cheer on the team. We play hard and work hard to represent Prince Rupert, and it would be great to see some support at the tournament.” The Seamen this year are made up of players from Prince Rupert and Smithers.
Prince Rupert’s Justin McChesney, who spent last season with the Rainmakers, has a busy month ahead competing as a member of the B.C. 15 and Under Provincial Team. McChesney, standing at 6’8”, competed last weekend in Lynden Washington, will travel to Seattle this weekend, play in Las Vegas the following weekend and will vie for the national championship from Aug. 4-11 in St. John’s Newfoundland.
Ice are out, Hazelton Wolverines returning to CIHL Overtime returning for 2013 season BY SHAUN THOMAS PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View
When the Prince Rupert Rampage take to the ice this fall, the league will be much different than when the final whistle blew at the end of last season. The Omenica Ice of Vanderhoof are no longer a part of the Central Interior Hockey League (CIHL). The team, which finished with a 6-10-2 record but struggled with icing enough players, informed the CIHL of its intention to fold during the annual general meeting in Smithers.
The departure of the Ice, however, is offset by the return of a familiar foe. “The Hazelton Wolverines met the deadline and have provided all of the necessary credentials and documentation. They will be playing next season,” said CIHL president Ray Hallock of the team that folded at the end of the 2012 season. “This is good news for the league ... the return of the Wolverines makes the existing east/west split continue to work for scheduling.” As for the product on the ice, the executive voted to do away with the automatic shootout in the event of a tie.
By a unanimous vote of executive and player reps, games that end in a tie during regulation time will enter a five-minute, 4-on-4 overtime period before proceeding to the shootout. “It was something that a player from Kitimat brought forward and something everyone agreed with. From a player perspective, going straight from regulation to a shootout isn’t the best way to go, so we’re looking forward to giving the fans that extra entertainment,” said Rampage defenceman Derek Baker. The 2013/2014 season will include an 18 game schedule with three divisions. The

Going green with horticulture at Charles Hays By Martina Perry PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View
Students at Charles Hays will be able to satisfy their green thumbs next year as the school develops an on-campus greenhouse and garden. CHSS principal Sheila Wells came up with the idea of school planters, but after consulting with other staff, the idea quickly evolved. Wells approached Susan Enns from the home economics department, Brian Cameron and Josh McDonald from the science department, and Peter Nordvie, a child care worker, who were all interested in the idea. Members of the science department and Enns had already been discussing the concept of a student garden. “An idea that started over a year and a half ago with some raised garden beds all of a sudden took on a different view and meaning. That’s the whole idea of getting people together, because you start with a little idea and then when everybody talks about it you come up with an entirely different project with the same basis,” Wells said. The Horticulture in Prince Rupert project will centre around a greenhouse constructed in the courtyard outside of CHSS and will include a number of planters located around the school. The project will grow flowers for school beautification and study, indigenous plants common to the Pacific
Northwest for study, and vegetables and herbs for use in classes and to donate to Prince Rupert families in need. Staff involved have identified learning outcomes relevant to the greenhouse project and how they can contribute to it. Several students outside of the various science courses and foods classes will be involved with the project. Wells said construction classes will help build the greenhouse and shelving, and the project will provide lessons in both Indigenous studies, and life skills and preparation. The idea for the Horticulture in Prince Rupert project came to life after CHSS received a $15,000 grant from the Mitchell Odyssey Foundation. Northern Savings Credit Union has committed a further $2,500 toward the project and Ridley Terminals Inc. offered a $7,500 grant if the school district can find matching funds. Wells said she hopes the pre-fab greenhouse will be ordered over the summer so construction can begin in the fall. The first plants are expected to be planted this winter. Work on the greenhouse will continue in 2014, with plans in place to complete the interior of the structure by installing irrigation and heating systems and a potential ventilation system for variations in temperature. The CHSS science department hopes to incorporate solar panels and electricity

production into the greenhouse in the future to make it self-sufficient. As much recycled material as possible will be used in the construction of the project. Pile wood and metal brackets saved from the removal of old bleachers at the school will be used to create shelving in the greenhouse and teachers will bring in old planters for the project. The school will be establishing a food recycling and composting program and will use that material in the greenhouse. CHSS students and staff will look after the project, and Wells said the
school will reach out to community groups to care for the project during the summer months. With the school district moving Wells’ position to Roosevelt for the coming school year, vice-principal Kevin Leach will be taking over as the administrator in charge of Horticulture in Prince Rupert. McDonald and Enns will be the teacher supervisors. “I’ll certainly be keeping my eyes [on the project] from a distance. I’m proud to know I had a part in getting this set up,” she said.
T.H. Ganhada Contracting Ltd. Born and raised in Terrace, Trevor moved to Kitkatla to live with his grandmother. He had been in the construction industry for several years, as well as working in Kitkatla for close to a decade, but he never saw himself becoming an Owner Operator of his very own Rock Truck. When the Kitkatla Band Council approached him about the Coast Industrial Construction Rock Truck Initiative, he didn't know how to react. “It took a while for it all to sink in” he says. Trevor is one of four Kitkatla community members who acquired their very own rock trucks as part of the initiative. The project is the first of it’s kind in the region and will provide work and benefits to the community and the Pacific Northwest. As part of the initiative, Trevor works with C.I.C operating, maintaining and running his own truck and had the opportunity to work on projects, such as Kitkatla’s new sewage disposal plant. “It’s great to give back to the people that helped us get where we are today” As a child Trevor remembers telling his dad “One day I’ll drive one of those trucks”. And thanks to the Kitkatla Band, C.I.C, as well as Community Futures, he now owns one.

Film highlights Rupert’s health history By Anna Killen PRINCE RUPERT / Black Press
Tucked on an unassuming shelf at the Northern Health Unit office complex in Terrace, lay a series of scrapbooks filled with clippings and photographs of the health unit’s past. One of those news clippings is from 1945, and it’s about a movie detailing the trials and triumphs of public health in the northwest. When Dr. David Bowering, Northern Health’s chief medical officer, first saw this clipping in the ‘90s, he immediately tried to track down a copy of the film, and eventually succeeded in finding one, albeit without the narration. One thing lead to another, and that copy was lost, but luckily researcher and nurse Carol Harrison had just finished writing her book on northwest public health nurses, a book which caught the attention of the nephew of the doctor, Dr. Knipe, who is featured in the film. That nephew not only sent copies of the film – still without the original narration and backed by what Harrison describes as “real crashing music” – but put Harrison in touch with Dr. Knipe’s son and daughter, who were interested in their father’s history, and wanted to narrate the film. So Harrison sent them the original transcripts and they put the film together from afar, and sent it back to Terrace.
“She lives in Geneva and he lives in New York but they managed somehow to put it together,” said Harrison. “One of the really interesting things about it is that Mary, the daughter, is in the film. She is a baby, a newborn baby, and the public health nurse is visiting her.” “It’s come into a really nice full circle,” added Bowering. “The family has given us permission to have this and to make copies, so we’re going to encourage people to take a look at it.” Both Harrison and Bowering are thrilled with the turn of events, and stress that this film is an important part of the northwest’s medical history. Prince Rupert, where the film is set, had the first health unit in the north. “That’s one reason he made the film,” said Harrison. “They took it on the road to Prince George, and Prince George was considering having a health unit of their own, and so the film was to help them.” In the 30-minute film, the audience sees Prince Rupert and the industries that were dominant in the port city at that time – lumber and cannon and ship building. There’s a trip to the public health unit and a visit to the hospital with the public health nurse, who the audience then follows to a wartime house to see her supervise the bathing of a new baby before she heads to the Conrad St. School. The sanitary inspector goes to a restaurant, country dairy, and the chlorinating plant. Then, to the lab and x-ray office. “The natural environment is still familiar,” said Bowering.

“There’s lots of logging stuff going on. But the health system, all of our staff wore uniforms, in an almost sort of paramilitary look. There were old, WW2 Annex-type buildings. So I’m blown away by that.” Bowering added the film will be helpful for younger staff to see that public health has deep roots. “I love this part of the world, the northwest and just to see how deeply embedded this public health practice is in this area, I just love it. I’m hoping that some of our younger staff can pick up on this because a lot of them have no idea, they think that public health is something relatively recent.”

Second cruise day a success BY MARTINA PERRY PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View
Prince Rupert has said goodbye to the second-large cruise ship scheduled to dock in Prince Rupert this summer. Oceania cruise line’s MS Regatta returned to Prince Rupert on July 3 after its first visit in June, with the Prince Rupert Port Authority considering the visit a successful. “It was another great day ... there was a happy cruise line and some happy local businesses ... and most importantly we had some real happy passengers,” said Ken Veldman, the port’s director of public affairs, on July 3. Veldman said the port received good feedback from visitors regarding the tours, adding many visitors referred to Prince Rupert as friendly. “Everybody seemed to enjoy the day ... the Oceania Regetta has been a great fit for Prince Rupert,” he said. During the Regetta’s July 3 stop in Prince Rupert, Veldman estimated two-thirds of the ship’s 684-passengers ended up on one of the many excursions offered to visitors. Veldman said most of the tour operators, which included marine and wilderness activity and city tours, were sold out. This year, all cruise ships docking in Prince Rupert are staying for most of the day, which Veldman said gives the port a full opportunity to capture visitors during their time in the city. “Tourism and cruise is alive in this town,” he said, adding the July 3 stop showcased the potential to grow.
“The Oceania Regatta has been a great fit for Prince Rupert.” - Ken Veldman The Regetta made its last stop of three in Prince Rupert this year on July 10, although the details of this stop were not available as of press time. Prince Rupert RCMP in red surge greeted and took pictures with passengers while volunteer ambassadors fielding questions and sharing stories. Veldman expressed the gratitude the port has for the volunteer ambassadors that talk with passengers and provide them with any information they need to enhance their time in Prince Rupert. “They tell the story of Prince Rupert so well, and they’re such a friendly face. They do a great job in assisting visitors to get to different stores and experiences within the community,” he said. People interested in becoming a volunteer ambassador to help on days ships are in Prince Rupert, whether it be providing entertainment, setting up a vendor or answering visitor’s questions, are encouraged to contact Jeff Stromdahl from the port at (250) 627-8899. The next cruise ship scheduled to dock at Atlin Terminal will be the Silver Shadow’s Silver Sea, a 380-passenger vessel visiting Prince Rupert on July 19 and July 29.

The Marketing Award for communities under 20,000 was won by Misty Isles for its Haida Gwaii Business to Business website, which allows those on the island to list their skills and interests in hopes of being hired by contractors and businesses in the region. “This website has done the one thing that no other initiative has ever done on Haida Gwaii - it has erased boundaries,” read the awards presentation. “It doesn’t matter if you are north or

HaiCo posts strong 2012 BY SHAUN THOMAS PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

The George M. Dawson High School class of 2013 celebrated their graduation in Masset on June 26.
The Haida Enterprise Corporation had a strong financial showing in 2012, but overall net income dropped by almost half compared to 2011. Numbers released in the company’s June update show revenue climbed from $22.2 million dollar in 2011 to $37.5 million in 2012, a jump of $15.3 million year-over-year. The increase was bolstered by a $8.4 million jump in tourism revenue following the August, 2011 purchase of West Coast Resorts and a $6.5 million increase in forestry-related revenue. Last year also marked the first influx of fish processing and sales revenue with the creation of Haida Wild Seafoods, which generated $256,000 last year. But with the new business growth came a $12.8 million increase in the cost of sales,
largely attributed to a $5 million increase in transportation and a $4.5 million increase in the cost of wages and benefits. Outside of sales, the gross margin increased by $2.5 million and the cost of “administration and other” climbed $3.1 million. When all the numbers are tabulated, the result is net income of $569,000 in 2012 compared to net income of $1.3 million last year, a drop of $731,000. Although 2012 was a good year for HaiCo, the company expects an even brighter future as it grows the Haida brand. The budget for 2013 calls for revenues exceeding $51 million and, following a $10 million increase in the cost of sales and other expenses, a net income of $2.1 million. HaiCo currently owns and operates Taan Forest Products, West Coast Resorts, The Inn at Sandspit, Haida House at Tllaal and Haida Wild Seafoods.

Wolves are the focal point of a new mural on the McBride retaining wall.
McBride mural taking shape By Martina Perry PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View
Paint Prince Rupert organizer Glen Saunders is proving a little bit of paint goes a long way. Paint Prince Rupert’s most recent project is now underway, with Nanaimo artist Jeff King creating his sixth wildlifebased mural on McBride Street. “I really enjoy being here. People are so friendly. It’s a beautiful community,” King said. Saunders said the newest mural is a continuation of the Paint Prince Rupert program aiming to beautify the city. “It’s always been a colourful town, we’re just adding a little bit of dimension to it,” he said. Paint Prince Rupert began rejuvenating Prince Rupert buildings in need of a facelift including the RCMP detachment, Fairview Restaurant, King Coin, the Moose Hall and 28 other buildings in the community. The group then came up with the mural concept, with the first being on Johnny’s Machine Shop. “It became such a hit that I thought we should continue with it,” Saunders said. Today, King’s murals are on the Moby Dick Inn, Pacific Inn, the Crest Hotel and Rona. “There’s getting to be enough of them that there’s a theme. Each mural is so different,” Saunders said. King’s most recent design consists of three wolves on a rocky landscape, with an abundance of trees surrounding snowfilled mountains. One of the wolves is pictured howling at the glowing moon in a purple night sky. After painting the base, King begins his murals by projecting the image’s outlines on the walls to ensure the sizing

is right. King and his assistant, Melissa White, began outlining the wolves last week, with Paint Prince Rupert volunteer Sharon Rothwell and Saunders lending a hand and city worker Tim Todd handling the safety and traffic aspect of the projection. “It’s not just [done by me]. I can do this part but there’s a lot more to it behind the scenes,” King said. After completing outlines, King uses spray guns, car sprayers, airless sprayers and touch-up guns to bring his designs to life, finishing the backgrounds without any outlining. “It’s fun to see how he builds the layers, and it just keeps getting better,” Saunders said. The McBride mural is King’s first time painting wolves, which he said is more challenging than previous pieces. King said he cannot pinpoint exactly when he will be done, but gave a rough estimation of two weeks on July5. While Paint Prince Rupert is responsible for organizing the new mural, Saunders said Ridley Terminals Inc.’s Michelle Bryant stepped up to the plate and got Prince Rupert Grain and Northern Savings Credit Union on board to fund the mural. The Rupert Square Mall also helped out by donating the lift for the project. Following the completion of the McBride mural, King will begin work on another mural on the Moby Dick Inn. Saunders said Paint Prince Rupert has pitched a number of additional murals, but at this time none are certain. King began painting murals in 1990, estimating he’s completed more than 100. “The best thing to do when you’re an artist is get noticed. How do you get noticed? Make big statements. If you paint a big canvass everybody notices

Vera Fossum (nee Morse) September 20, 1917 - May 29, 2013 Mom passed away at St. Joseph’s Hospital in Comox at the age of 95. Born in Prince Rupert, Mom spent her early years on several North Coast islands before training to become a hairdresser. She lived for a time in Stewart, B.C., before settling in Prince Rupert, marrying and raising her family. Moving to Oona River on Porcher Island, she and Dad fished aboard the ‘Fairweather’. Health issues dictated a change and they patrolled Banks Island for the Department of Fisheries aboard the ‘Bonilla Isle’. After Dad’s death in 1977, Mom lived in Prince Rupert until moving to the Comox Valley in 1987, where she resided until her passing. Predeceased by her parents Andrew and Anna, sisters Ingrid and Florence, brother Ingver (Swede) and husband Chris, she is survived by her son Gerry, granddaughter Ingrid, grandson Luke, daughter Christine, son-in-law Bill, beloved nieces and nephews and many friends. Laughter was always the way with Mom, either instigating it or encouraging it, but mostly living it, usually leaving those around her with an uplifted feeling. She had a great sense of fulfilling what she started and that included life itself, most of which she did in her own time and her own way. Mom was a great listener--she would spend hours listening to us and anyone else that asked of her time. We feel honored to have shared the years we had with her. She is with ‘the crew’ now. No service by request.

Syd was born in the hamlet of Garthland, Saskatchewan on June 30, 1937. He brought his family to Prince Rupert in 1966 to work at the pulp mill. He completed his work life operating heavy equipment for road maintenance. Syd was a member of the Royal Canadian Legion, the Moose Lodge and Teamsters Local 213. He possessed a generous spirit and was a loyal friend. Syd’s sense of humor and many acts of kindness will be missed by all who knew him. A memorial service will be held in Saskatchewan where he will be interred next to family.
