Environmental groups are raising a red flag as one LNG pipeline proposal shows plans to run the line through the Khutzeymateen Grizzly Bear Sanctuary.

One of the routes proposed by TransCanada Pipeline, the company tasked with creating the - Wayne McReary pipeline to Pacific NorthWest LNG’s terminal on Lelu Island, would cut through eastern portion of the sanctuary. The Valhalla Wilderness Society said survey work in the area is already underway, bringing helicopters and survey crews into the Khutzemeyteen to discover the feasibility of running a four-foot diameter pipeline with a 200-foot right-of-way and necessary access road for service and construction through the sanctuary.

The fate of LNG development on Grassy Point, near the entrance of Work Channel, will be clear by the end of the month.

Four companies — Australian energy giant Nexen, Woodside Petroleum of Australia, SK E&S of Korea and Canada’s Imperial Oil — all submitted proposals to develop the site following a request from the provincial government back in April, and Minister of Gas Development Rich Coleman told those gathered at a Chamber of Commerce luncheon on Sept. 3 that work taking place at the site to determine how it can be developed is nearing completion.

“By mid-September, we will know exactly how

“By mid-September we will know exactly how many terminals.”

- Rich Coleman many terminals can be hosted and what the future looks like for Grassy Point,” he said.

Grassy Point is located across from Lax Kw’alaams, and Lax Kw’alaams Mayor Garry Reece has gone on record saying he would like to see the area developed because it would mean a road connecting his community to Prince Rupert.

But Coleman said any such road is likely still years away.

“We can’t get ahead of ourselves. We need to recognize we are in a competitive atmosphere,” he said “I would like to see a final investment decision, then I’ll figure out the rest.”

While the number of terminals in the Northwest has yet to be determined, Coleman said there is plenty of supply to meet the demand for a number of terminals.

“With the reserves we have today, we could supply outside customers gas for the next 85 years and we have even larger reserves in the ground,” he explained.

“Right now we ship 1.8 trillion cubic feet of LNG to the North American market. If LNG develops successfully, even with three terminals, we will ship an additional 5 trillion cubic feet to Asia.”

Power out Company denies survey work for villages this Sunday Underwater line being moved

BY SHAUN THOMAS PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

Residents of Dodge Cove, Metlakatla and Lax Kw’alaams can expect to be without power for 12 hours this Sunday as BC Hydro undertakes work on its underwater cable connecting those communities to the grid.

The power outage is planned to run from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Sept. 15, although those times may vary. BC Hydro said the reason for the outage is because the line needs to be moved to make room for an extra rail siding leading to Fairview Terminal.

Air service at the Prince Rupert Regional Airport is not expected to impacted due to the backup generator at the site to handle outages.

Power was out on Monday as well, with BC Hydro crews doing the preparation work needed to accommodate the move. In that case, however, the outage only lasted three hours.

Residents of Prince Rupert are not expected to be impacted by the outage.

TRANSCANADA from Page A1 “The pipeline corridor will shatter the ecological integrity of the whole area, and is a threat to every grizzly bear for miles around ... this is a shocking and unconscionable betrayal of the bears, the Park Act, and the Great Bear Rainforest decision of 2006,” said bear biologist Wayne McCrory, who noted the work seems to be happening without a park use permit but “with the endorsement of the Premier’s office”.

“How can they even allow survey crews in the protected area for a pipeline that would require a 200 foot wide right-of-way and a major industrial road, as well as a compressor station and a large industrial staging area?

They would have to put the pipeline 1.7 kilometres under the Khutzeymateen Fjord and through marine foreshore habitat vital to grizzly bears and worldclass bear viewing. The whole purpose of the new conservancies was to protect the grizzly bears and adjacent marine habitats. Instead the government is allowing huge gas corporations to take a hammer to the protected areas.”

The pipeline would also pass through the Kwinimass Conservancy to the north of the Khutzeymateen, and McCrory said that sets a dangerous precedent.

“No protected area is sacred or safe anymore from our government’s

wide open policies on rampant LNG development and the race of gas companies to get to the B.C. Coast,” he said.

“Establishing a new utility corridor through these protected areas sets a bad precedent for all our parks, and opens the door for additional pipelines or transmission lines to be built along the new corridor. No pipelines should be allowed through these conservancies ... allowing pipeline surveys in the conservancies means that the provincial government is no longer honouring

the Park Act. Apparently the pipeline company does not even have permits yet, nor should they be granted any.

This is crazy. They should just stay out of these protected areas.”

TransCanada Pipelines did not provide comment, but the company told The Globe and Mail no ground work has been done, though visual assessments by helicopter have.

TransCanada said it has applied for permits to allow studies in the park and would not do work until those permits were approved.

Jobless rate up Rupert “vital” to western economy

By Rod Link

Minister of State tours city

PRINCE RUPERT / Black Press

The number of people working in the Northwest increased slightly in August over July, reports Statistics Canada.

August’s figure of 41,200 employed in the area from the North Coast to just this side of Vanderhoof was 200 over July’s 41,000 total, a sign of steady economic activity in the area.

The jobless rate did, however, nudge upward to 6.2 per cent in August from six per cent in July, a sign that more people considered themselves part of the workforce and were seeking employment.

There were 2,700 people who listed themselves as jobless in August, just 100 more than July’s figure of 2,600 people.

August’s figures continued a trend all year in recording far better numbers than the previous year.

The August 2012 jobless rate was 11.8 per cent with 5,100 people jobless then compared to 2,700 this August and 38,100 people employed compared to 41,200 this August.

August’s numbers put the northwest solidly in the mid-range of jobs figures in the province compared to recent years when it had the worst employment figures.

The Northeast, the Kootenays and the Thompson-Okanagan reported better employment numbers than the Northwest but this region topped the Cariboo, the Lower Mainland and was tied with Vancouver Island.

The provincial jobless rate overall was 6.6 per cent, slightly better than July’s 6.8 per cent.

As demand from Asian markets grows, Prince Rupert’s importance to the country cannot be understated.

Minister of State for Western Economic Diversification Michelle Rempel pressed home the point during a visit to the North Coast on Sept. 4.

“Prince Rupert really is at the nexus of the next wave of economic growth for western Canada ... Prince Rupert is a vital economic link for the country,” she said.

“The success story is Prince Rupert.

In 2007, the container terminal was launched and in just a few short years it has seen a huge increase in trade traffic ... if you look at that traffic alone, it is a case study to show the impact of trade across western Canada.”

But with the increase in trade, there is a need for skilled workers.

It’s a subject that provincial leaders have touched upon during visits to Prince Rupert, and Rempel said it is something the federal government is dedicated to addressing as well.

“It is one of, if not the, most

critical priorities. Talking to the port authority, they talked about training opportunities for people who live here and we want to make sure people can get training in the communities where they live,” she said.

“These are questions we’ll look at, but it is something that flows right down to the province and the training institutions as well ... how can we innovate so no matter where people live, they have access to that skills training.”

Rempel was in Prince Rupert as part of a tour that had her visit Saskatoon the day before and fly from Prince Rupert to Kelowna. During her time on the North Coast, Rempel met with the Prince Rupert Port Authority and First Nations in the

region, and said what she hears will be taken back to the federal government as it prepares for the next session of Parliament.

“The government will be putting forward a throne speech in the fall, and the feedback I get from this tour will help me as a Member of Parliament and a member of cabinet when it comes to putting forward policy,” she said.

“My first priority in this portfolio is to assist western Canadian businesses find the matches and markets for their product and make sure there is an awareness of the depth and breadth of the personnel market ... there are some innovative products out in western Canada that need to find a way to market.”

Wake up, longboarders

F

rom where I sit, which on the road is usually behind the wheel of a big red truck, it’s not a matter of if but when a longboarder is going to be seriously injured or killed in Prince Rupert.

In the past few weeks, I’ve seen longboard riders run stop signs, speed onto McBride at intersections without so much as a shoulder check to see if the lane is clear, ride down 6th West at night wearing all black and move from one lane or side of the street to the other without any indication of their intentions. I’ve seen others quickly cross lanes to get away from police cars with lights flashing and sirens blaring.

And, of course, none of these boarders Shaun Thomas were wearing helmets as they careened down the street at who-knows-what speeds.

In a few of these cases, drivers have had to slam on the brakes. In one case, a bus had to suddenly jolt to a stop and was, fortunately, just able to do so while the boarder carried on as though nothing had happened. Those boarders were lucky the driver was being extremely attentive to the road. But it will take one driver not reacting in time to cause a world of hurt.

Obviously the boarder will be hurt, if not killed. The boarder’s family, depending on the severity of the accident, will have to deal with the consequences. And the driver who struck the young man or woman will undoubtedly be devestated.

And when that happens, in many of the cases I’ve just explained, you would be hard pressed to put fault on the driver — although I’m sure the driver would blame themselves enough.

I know there are longboarders who ride safely and are considerate of others on the road.

Frankly, longboarding seems like it would be an effective means of transportation in a town this size. But for those who take risks and ignore the rules, here is a simple yet immensely important message: Wake up and think about what you are doing on the road before you kill yourselves or someone else.

Pattison group must do better Editor’s note: The following was received as an open letter to Jim Pattison Group chairman and CEO Jim Pattison.

Dear Mr. Pattison: Subject: Request to Meet to Resolve Conservation Issues in Your Seine Fisheries As salmon and marine conservation organizations, we have long advocated for sustainable salmon fishing practices that benefit both salmon and coastal communities.

We recently released video footage of seine crews — some of them controlled by your company — seriously mishandling chum salmon and other species they are required to release as a conservation measure while fishing for abundant pink and coho salmon on the central coast of B.C. (watershed-watch. org/resources/north-coast-chum-discards).

Resulting media coverage and positive messages we have received from commercial fishermen and the general public underscore both a broad interest in salmon conservation, and an urgent imperative to improve how fishermen handle and release “nontargeted” salmon from seriously depleted stocks.

Significant reform is required. The Pattison Group controls the largest portion of B.C.’s salmon seine fleet. Therefore, we believe that you personally must take a leadership role in minimizing harm to B.C.’s iconic salmon during the catching, sorting, and releasing process, while maximizing economic returns to fishermen and other British Columbians.

“We believe that you must personally take a leadership role in minimzing harm to B.C.’s iconic salmon.”

Our organizations work closely with commercial, aboriginal and recreational fishermen, fisheries managers, scientists, and others to improve conservation practices and the public’s confidence in BC’s fisheries.

But despite our best efforts to address problems in these fisheries through government-led processes, which your representatives also participate in, matters have only become worse. We would prefer to work directly with fishermen, and with you and other salmon processors, to find lasting solutions to these problems.

We are thus requesting a meeting with you as soon as possible to talk about how we might proactively and positively improve salmon fisheries in British Columbia, to the benefit of all.

We look forward to hearing from you.

ore answers to readers’ harbour safety

questions.

RE:PORT

q If the Port Authority’s Harbour Master’s office is responsible for assigning vessels to anchorages in Prince Rupert’s harbour, how do they decide what ships go to which anchorages?

The Harbour Master’s office takes a number of factors into consideration when assigning an anchorage position to an arriving vessel. These include the commodity the vessel is anticipated to load, the overall length of the ship, the inspection requirements for that particular vessel, the estimated time it will spend at anchor, and weather conditions. Currently, arriving container ships go straight to berth at Fairview Terminal and do not require an anchorage.

Generally, the six anchorage positions in the inner harbour are occupied by bulk carriers destined for Prince Rupert Grain. This is due to their smaller size and because each grain ship requires an inspection from Canada Food Inspection Agency prior to loading. The anchorages in the outer harbour are typically occupied by grain ships that have already been inspected, and bulk carriers loading coal at Ridley Terminals. Coal ships are better suited for the outside anchorages because of their large size and the proximity to the terminal berth. q I have a radio scanner and I want to monitor harbour vessel traffic. How do I tune in?

You can monitor vessel traffic at 156.8 MHz. This is VHF Channel 16, used by mariners to broadcast distress and safety messages. It is monitored roundthe-clock by Coast Guard’s Marine Communications and Traffic Services (MCTS). Most day-to-day MCTS communications in Prince Rupert take place on VHF 71 (156.6 MHz). Communication on marine radio is limited to licensed users who hold a Restricted Operator’s Certificate issued by Industry Canada, and transmissions from land are generally prohibited, unless by a licensed agency like Coast Guard or the Prince Rupert Port Authority. q From your website, I know that the Port Authority regulates the passage of “dangerous goods” in and out of our harbour. What are these dangerous goods and how do you make sure they’re being transported safely?

Transport Canada’s Transportation of Dangerous Goods Regulations outlines nine classifications of substances considered to be dangerous. It includes explosives, gases, flammable liquids, flammable solids, oxidizing substances and organic peroxides, toxic and infectious substances, radioactive materials, corrosives, and miscellaneous products, substances and organisms.

Regardless of how dangerous a particular group of goods may be, any and all substances that fall under these regulations and are aboard a vessel transiting Prince Rupert’s harbour must be declared to the Prince Rupert Port Authority through a Dangerous Goods Permit. Once an application has been filed, the Harbour Master’s office will verify the vessel has the necessary permits and is compliant with all international and domestic regulations.

B&E at Loaded First week of classes run smoothly

BY MARTINA PERRY PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

A Prince Rupert business is short $4,000 in merchandise after an early-morning break and enter occurred last week.

Loaded Sports owner Marc Page was called down to his shop on 3rd Avenue West shortly after 1 a.m. on Thursday morning after receiving a call from the store’s alarm company. The business’ surveillance cameras picked up one individual during the theft.

“Surveillance footage showed a well-disguised individual walking up with a bag and a sledge hammer. He dropped the bag and started hammering the door to the point where he could bash the metal security features out of place so he could slip his fingers inside and unlock the door,” Page said.

Page said the individual then took the sledge hammer to the watch case, and took 13 Nixon watches valued at $4,000 before fleeing the scene.

Unfortunately, the break-in was not the first one for the business.

“It has happened before. Every time it happens it gets less personal, but it sucks that it’s a part of having a business,” Page said, adding each time an incident of this nature happens it’s a learning experience for the store to improve security measures.

Loaded Sports is offering a $500 reward for information leading to the individual responsible for the break and enter being identified. The business is also offering individual rewards for each of the watches.

Anyone with information on this incident is encouraged to call the RCMP at (250) 627-0700.

A lot happening in the district

BY MARTINA PERRY PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

The first week back to school was smooth sailing in the Prince Rupert School District.

“It was a smooth week by all accounts. There was lots of great commentary from principals about the kids and staff,” Sandy Jones, School District 52’s new superintendent, said.

“The strongest message I got from elementary schools was that it was smooth, and the kids are happy to be in school. I’m hoping that continues,” she said.

Jones said she learned it’s very busy for the superintendent during the first week of class.

“It was exciting ... to make sure everything was running well and managed. And it was. We have great staff; great principals and teachers.”

Jones said there are a number of new teachers joining the district this year, as well as on-call teachers.

“It’s great to have new blood in the system,” she said.

While it is too early to tell, Jones predicts student enrolment numbers are slightly up, and said there’s a lot

for students to be excited for.

The Vancouver Aquarium AquaVan will be making a visit to PRMS and some of the elementary schools in the district in the near future.

“People are very excited about that,” Jones said.

Volleyball teams around the district are also starting up, and many Prince

Rupert students will be participating in the Terry Fox Run later this month.

Students at Charles Hays Secondary School have started a greenhouse project, planting strawberries that will eventually be put in the greenhouse when it arrives.

As well, the millwright program at CHSS is up and running, and Jones said it’s working well.

“We have many community partners who participated in getting that up and running. It’s a fantastic project,” she said.

Parents can keep up with the happenings of their children’s schools by attending a number of parents’ nights coming up at most schools in the district, with newsletters also being sent home recently.

The music studio at Charles Hays is nearing completion with the structure complete and work underway on the interior and exterior siding of the building.

Singers and musicians looking for a way to practice and improve are encouraged to join two Prince Rupert musical groups.

Both the Prince Rupert Rotary Community Choir and Prince Rupert Community Band will be starting their seasons in the coming weeks, with Peter Witherly, director of both the choir and band, saying anyone interested in joining is welcomed to do so.

The Prince Rupert Rotary Community Choir is holding its first rehearsal of the season today, Sept. 11, at the Prince Rupert Middle School (PRMS) band room at 7:30 p.m.

The Prince Rupert Rotary Community Choir is a soprano, alto, tenor and bass group, meaning men and women of all vocal ranges can join. The choir is always looking for more singers, particularly younger singers.

“We seem to be getting older and older.

We need more young people,” said Witherly, adding the group is also in need of more male vocalists.

Additionally, the Prince Rupert Community Band will be holding its first rehearsal of the season in the PRMS band room on Sept. 16 at 7:30 p.m.

Last year the band consisted of 25 musicians playing brass, horn, percussion and wind instruments, playing recognizable tunes like show tunes and marches as well as holiday tunes leading up to Christmas.

While Witherly said the band does have a balanced sound, the group is in need of clarinet and percussion players. But the community band invites all musicians, as well.

“Anyone that’s interested in playing with us is welcome to come,” Witherly said.

There are no auditions to become part of either group, and Witherly said everyone that comes out is welcomed to join.

“Some people are really good, and other people just enjoy coming and doing the best they can,” he said.

Witherly added joining either the community band or choir would also be great practice for anyone interested in becoming part of the community musical that will be put on in 2014.

Terry Fox Run set for Sunday

BY MARTINA PERRY PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

“Even if I don’t finish, we need others to continue. It’s got to keep going without me.”

More than 30 years after Terry Fox urged Canadians to continue on with his dream of supporting cancer research, communities all over the world will hold events in honour of Fox while raising money for cancer research.

In Prince Rupert, Northern Savings Credit Union has helped to keep Fox’s ambitions of finding a cure for cancer alive by holding the annual Terry Fox Run for nearly two decades.

“Terry is a national icon ... he gave so much, and Northern Savings Credit Union wants to give back by carrying on Terry’s dream,” Heidi Harris, who has organized the event for the last number of years, said.

This year’s theme is “Run with Terry” Working Together to Outrun Cancer, and will take place on Sunday, Sept. 15.

Registration for the event will begin at noon at the credit union, with the walk, run, wheel or ride taking place at 1 p.m.

Participants will walk from Northern Savings to up through 4th Avenue East, down the 6th Avenue East bridge, then through Cow Bay, either turning back onto 3rd Avenue East, or continue on to 1st Avenue East or through Cow Bay

“It’s nice to see Terry’s legacy being carried on in the schools.”

- Heidi Harris Road to the Waterfront and back to the credit union.

Following the walk there will be refreshments, a barbecue food for participants and door prizes.

Harris wants to remind Rupertites that Jim Terrion, an avid Terry Fox Run fundraiser is back in the community.

Terrion hopes to bring his fundraising total to $582,000 by Sept. 15, collecting more than $15,000 since arriving in Prince Rupert a few weeks ago. Terrion begin his efforts back in 1991.

“I wanted to support the Terry Fox Run, [and keep Terry’s dreams alive],” he said.

“I will keep the work up.”

Terrion is planning to travel to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia in 2015 to take part in the Terry Fox Run that community holds.

In the coming days, Prince Rupert students will also be participating in walking and running events in Fox’s memory, an annual event schools across Canada take part in.

The Northern View archives

Whether walking, cycling or rollerblading, people of all ages can participate in the Terry Fox Run.

“It’s really great to see the kids get involved ... it’s nice to see Terry’s legacy being carried on in the schools,” Harris said.

Fox’s right leg had to be amputated 15 centimetres above the knee in 1977 after he discovered he had a malignant tumour. The evening prior to his amputation, Fox read an article about an amputee runner that sparked an idea that evolved into Fox’s Marathon of Hope.

On April 12, 1980, Fox dipped his

artificial leg into the Atlantic Ocean, and begin his journey. One hundred and forty-three days and 5,373 kilometres later, Fox was forced to end the marathon outside of Thunder Bay, Ontario because his primary cancer had spread to his lungs.

Fox passed away on June 28, 1981.

People can participate in Prince Rupert’s Terry Fox Run by donation, and can choose to fundraise additional money and pick up a pledge form prior to the walk at Northern Savings.

Lack of teams cancels tournament

BY SHAUN THOMAS PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

The fields around Prince Rupert were emptier than expected over the Labour Day long weekend.

The Prince Rupert Football Club was scheduled to host a tournament, but had to cancel the event as not enough teams were entered by the deadline.

Bruce Daum and Tanner Daum celebrate winning the Super Pro Class and Jr. Dragster class respectively following races over the Labour Day weekend.

Evans claims pro class title as drag racing season comes to an end

BY MARTINA PERRY PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

The light is red for northern racers until next season.

The Terrace Drag Race Association held the final event of the 2013 season, the Season Ender, in Terrace over the Labour Day long weekend to determine the winners of the association’s yearly points series.

The Season Ender kicked off on Saturday, with racers competing to earn the final points of 2013.

The event wrapped up the points series, with Prince Rupert’s Ed Evans taking the top spot in the Pro Class.

Evans won the Pro Class race at Hot August Nites, and placed second at the season’s opener this season, maintaining

the points series lead following Hot August Nites.

Evans said the win felt good considering he won his first race in the Sportsman Class last year, before they merged two classes together into the faster-Pro Class.

“I figured I wouldn’t have a chance.

Winning one race and coming in second for another is really spectacular.

I feel great,” Evans, who drove his ‘81 Camaro, said.

In the Super Pro Class, Kitimat’s Bruce Daum placed first, followed by Kris Barnett from Terrace. Harley Bell from Kitimat took the bronze spot.

Kitimat’s Randy Baker raced his way to first place in the Pro Class, with Terrace’s Doug Mcphadyen taking the second place spot, and Terrace’s Bill

Boutilier placing third.

In the Junior Dragster Class, Quinn Amado from Kitimat won the final points race of the season, followed by Kitimat’s Tanner Daum, and Terrace’s Massimo Dalla Vecchia.

Kitimat racer Bruce Daum earned the most points in the Super Pro Class over the season, with his son Tanner Daum winning the most points in the Junior Dragster category.

On the Sunday of the Season Ender, the King and Gambler races took place with no Prince Rupert racers placing in the races.

Terrace’s Larry Craig won the King of the YXT, with Kitimat’s Tanner Daum winning the junior category.

Terrace’s Steve Burkett won the Gambler race.

Credit union Dolly’s undertaking major expansion CEO headed to Nepal

BY MARTINA PERRY

PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

BY SHAUN THOMAS PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

Northern Savings Credit Union CEO Ken Doleman will be speaking at a gathering of his peers in Nepal.

Doleman is scheduled to be a plenary speaker at the Association of Asian Confederation of Credit Union’s annual international forum, a gathering of leaders from 25 countries across Asia. As well as speaking, Doleman will be voluntering through the Canadian Cooperative Association to strengthen the credit union system in Nepal, a country with rampant poverty.

“International development is a tangible expression of the values we share with the global community. We are working through the co-operative model to promote self help, thrift, gender equity, ethical values and democratic practice,” explained Doleman.

“Never in our history has the Canadian Credit Union System been better positioned to make a difference on the world stage, in the global fight against poverty.”

A Prince Rupert business is doubling in sizing.

Dolly’s Fish Market will be closing down shop for several weeks this fall to expand to meet customer demand.

“Rupert is renowned for its fresh fish, and we’re just expanding on that,” Charmayne Carlson, who has owned Dolly’s Fish Market for approximately eight years, said.

“I’m doing it for the customers.

They’re the ones that have convinced me to do this.”

Dolly’s Fish Market will be expanding into what use to be the All Native Basketball Tournament’s office space, more than doubling the number of customers that can eat at the business’ restaurant.

Construction work in the former-All Native space is already taking place, with Carlson planning to close down shop at the end of October and reopen a couple weeks later. In that short timeframe, the wall separating the spaces will have to be knocked down, and the seafood retail space and counter will be moved over into what is currently the restaurant.

Charmayne Carlson, owner of Dolly’s Fish Market, and Yaishia Wislow, Dolly’s restaurant manager, stand in the front of the current store. Dolly’s Fish Market will be expanding in the coming months, more than doubling the restaurant’s size.

“It’s a whole restructure, adding more freezers and [all new equipment]. It’s going to be a whole new look,” Carlson said, adding the revamp will stick with the current ocean theme the business has.

Dolly’s Fish Market will continue to serve its popular dishes, but the expansion will mean the business won’t have to turn away as many customers and will be able to take larger reservations.

Hydro cancels contracts

BY TOM FLETCHER VICTORIA / Black Press

At Your Service

BC Hydro has cancelled or deferred four electricity purchase contracts with independent power producers, and the total may reach 20 by the time a review of projects is complete, Energy Minister Bill Bennett said.

Bennett said the review is part of a broader effort by BC Hydro to meet his instruction to “spend less money,” as he leads an effort to reduce costs across all government operations.

BC Hydro proposed the move, identifying the 20 project proponents that were not meeting their contract obligations due to financing, regulatory or other problems. That non-performance gives BC Hydro legal authority to delay or terminate contracts.

The utility has contracts with 81 operating projects, mostly run-of-river hydroelectric, and another 47 are under construction or seeking permits after receiving purchase contracts.

BC Hydro released its latest draft resource plan last week, which estimates the province has enough electricity supply to meet growing demand for the next 10 years. Bennett said he is skeptical about that forecast, with population growth and industrial demand from new mines and natural gas development in northern B.C., but it gives the utility some breathing room.

“I’m a real fan of the clean energy industry, but obviously we don’t want to be agreeing to buy more power than what we need,” Bennett said.

BC Hydro has been criticized in recent years for running up billions in deferred debt, as it completes major expansion and seismic upgrading of its network of dams. Bennett said he has asked for a detailed analysis of the cost of private power compared to new sources such as the Site C dam.

Fairview Terminal handled more containers this August than last.

Fairview traffic up in August

BY SHAUN THOMAS PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

After months of double-digit yearover-year declines, Fairview Terminal saw an increase in traffic this August compared to last.

Numbers from the Prince Rupert Port Authority show 51,651 TEUs moved through Prince Rupert this August compared to 47,524 TEUs in 2012, an increase of 8.7 per cent.

Imports were up 21.4 per cent to sit at 31,679 TEUs. Exports were down 6.8 per cent, but the number of full containers being shipped out was up 47.8 per cent while the number of containers leaving empty dropped 47.7 per cent.

So far this year, however, the terminal remains below the volume

handled through the first eight months of 2012. This year 358,715.5 TEUs have moved through Fairview compared to 368,677.4 TEUs, a drop of 2.7 per cent. Imports are down 3.3 per cent while exports are down 1.9 per cent.

Along with Fairview Terminal, both Prince Rupert Grain and Ridley Terminals saw increased tonnage this August and so far this year.

This August Ridley Terminals moved 1.04 million tonnes of coal compared to 924,497 tonnes last August, an increase of 12.7 per cent.

In 2013, RTI has shipped 8.15 million tonnes compared to 7.64 million tonnes, an increase of 6.7 per cent.

Prince Rupert Grain shipped 292,178.8 tonnes compared to 183,425 tonnes last year, an increase of 59.3 per

cent. So far this year the terminal has moved 3.41 million tonnes compared to 2.88 million tonnes, an increase of 18.3 per cent.

Logs moving through the harbour this year, though up 25.2 per cent through to the end of August, dropped off drastically last month compared to August, 2012. While 23,695 tonnes of log were exported last year, just 5,440 tonnes moved through the harbour this year, a drop of 77 per cent.

The Prince Rupert Port Authority remains on track for another recordbreaking year. Spurred on, in part, by a 15.5 per cent year-over-year increase, the terminals of the port authority have moved 15.4 million tonnes in 2013 compared to 14.4 million tonnes last year, an increase of 6.8 per cent.

Thanksgiving food drive to help more in need this year

Thanks to an enhanced partnership, this year’s B.C. Thanksgiving Food Drive volunteers will be delivering donation bags to 2,000 more Prince Rupert residences than in 2012.

In addition to past community supporters, Fellowship Baptist will be helping the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and Food Banks British Columbia to accomplish the Prince Rupert effort. Organizers anticipate visiting twice as many homes as last year, and four times as many since Prince Rupert volunteers first participated in the province-wide initiative in 2011.

“We are happy to participate in this because we strongly support the work that Salvation Army does for Prince Rupert,” said Fellowship Baptist pastor Alex Hogendoorn.

More homes visited will mean more nonperishable food items delivered to the Salvation Army Food Bank.

“An increase in non-perishable food item donations will have a huge impact in this community. It will mean fewer children will go to school hungry and more vulnerable adults will be fed,” said Erica Collison, Family and Community Services Leader of the Prince Rupert Salvation Army.

“As part of a small community, we feel connected to each other.”

- Julie Slocombe “As part of a small community, we feel connected to each other and want to help one another,” said Julie Slocombe, Food Drive Community Liaison for Prince Rupert. “Next year, we aim to reach every home in Prince Rupert.”

This year, volunteers will drop off bags in approximately 4,000 homes from Sept. 16 to Sept.

19. Anyone wishing to donate non-perishable food items is asked to place them in the bags provided and leave them on their doorstep by 9:30 a.m. on Saturday, Sept. 21 for pick-up.

The food drive is sponsored province-wide

by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and Food Banks British Columbia, and is supported by local and regional community partners.

“In 2008, during the first walk, 11 women went missing. In 2011, during the same number of days, while we walked, 37 women went missing. And program funding is being cut.”

Tsunami debris group gets $139,000

BY SHAUN THOMAS HAIDA GWAII / The Northern View

The Haida Gwaii Tsunami Debris Committee (HGTDC) has been given $139,000 from the Province of B.C. to clean up and monitor debris washing ashore on the islands.

The HGTDC will use the money for a two-year program that will establish four accessible and four remote cleanup sites, as well - Mary Polak as promoting education and volunteer cleanup activities, monitoring tsunami debris accumulation and developing a protocol to manage the debris with an emphasis on reuse and recycling over disposal. The committee will work with BC Parks, Gwaii Haanas National Park, the Haida Fisheries Program, the Haida Gwaii Marine Stewardship Group, the Haida Gwaii School District and the Skeena – Queen Charlotte Regional District in implementing the plan.

The money comes from a $1 million grant given to Canada by the Government of Japan in recognition of the debris from the 2011 tsunami coming to western shores. The fund will be administered by the Village of Queen Charlotte, and chief administrative officer Peter Weeber said it will go a long way to helping Haida Gwaii.

“We recognize the possibility of tsunami debris reaching the shores of Haida Gwaii. This financial contribution will help our collaborative efforts to develop a plan for managing tsunami debris,” he said.

In awarding the money, Minister of Environment Mary Polak said Haida Gwaii provides an example other should follow.

“The spirit of volunteerism on Haida Gwaii is amazing,” she said.

A poll released by the Coastal First Nations shows 87 per cent of B.C. residents support a ban on the trophy hunting of bears along the North Coast.

Majority in B.C. oppose bear hunt

BY SHAUN THOMAS HAIDA GWAII / The Northern View

A poll released by the Coastal First Nations (CFN) shows an overwhelming number of British Columbians agree with banning bear hunting on the North Coast.

The poll, conducted by McAllister Opinion Research for CFN, asked 805 B.C. residents for their views on “trophy hunting for bears in the Great Bear Rainforest”. Of those polled, 87 per cent agree with banning the hunt and 78 per cent said they “strongly” agree with the ban.

The members of the CFN — which include the Gitga’at, Metlakatla, Old Massett, Skidegate and the Council

“This so-called sport is a violation of First Nations law.”

- William Housty of the Haida Nation — formally banned bear hunting in their territory last September, but the hunt is still permitted by the B.C. Government through limited entry licences. Those who hunt bears will generally take the head, paws and possibly fur, but leave the meat where the bear is shot. The poll further shows those

who identified themselves as hunters disagreed with the practice.

“The attitudes of hunters included in the sample are especially interesting.

91 per cent agree that their fellow hunters should respect First Nations laws and customs when on First Nation territory and 95 per cent of hunters agree that people should not be hunting if they are not prepared to eat what they kill,” said McAllister Opinion Research president Angus McAllister.

The subject is one the CFN members are passionate about, and they say they will use whatever nonviolent means available to stop bears from being shot.

NHL player defends kill

BEAR from Page B1 “If I have to stand between feeding bears and people with guns, I will,” said Kitasoo councillor and guide Doug Neasloss.

“This so-called sport is a violation of First Nations laws and customs and this poll shows people across the province share these values.

Trophy hunting for bears is wasteful,” said Heiltsuk Coastwatch director William Housty.

The issue of bear hunting garnered more national attention last week when it was shown Minnesota Wild player Clayton Stoner had shot a bear this spring and was photographed with the animal’s severed head and paws. However, Stoner noted everything done was done legally.

“I applied for and received a grizzly bear hunting licence through a British Columbia limited entry lottery last winter and shot a grizzly bear with my licence while hunting with my father, uncle and a friend in May,” he said in a statement released by the team.

MV Kwuna going for upgrades Revised schedule released

BY SHAUN THOMAS HAIDA GWAII / The Northern View

The main link to Sandspit and Graham Island is going out of commision for three months beginning Monday.

The MV Kwuna, which services the Alliford Bay to Skidegate Route, is undergoing a three-quarter life upgrade and regulated maintenance refit that will put it out of commission from Spet. 16 to Dec. 15.

The $5 million project includes and overhaul of both main engines, rightangle drive units and generators; installation of two new evacuation slides; improvements to the passenger accommodation area that include a new heating system and insulation of the washrooms; installation of two new fire monitors to improve fire fighting capabilities; expansion of the wheelhouse; and regulatory surveys of the ship.

While the maintenance work is being done, tug and barge service will be provided by Wainwright Marine on a modified schedule. The revised schedule starts the same time and includes the same number of trips, but the service will now end much sooner

MV Kwuna will be taken out of duty from Sept. 16 to Dec. 15.

The Northern View archives

Skidegate at 9:30 a.m. at 1:45 p.m. and leaving Alliford Bay at 1:15 p.m. and 5:30 p.m.

Mark Wilson, BC Ferries vicepresident of engineering, said it is work that needs to be done.

“Investing in our fleet in order to maintain our high safety and service reliability standards is of upmost importance to us,” he said.

“In fact, we’ve spent approximately $2 billion on new vessels, mid-life upgrades, refits and marine structures over the past 10 years so we can serve our customers well for many years to come.”

The full revised schedule can be found online at www.bcferries.ca.

“Investing in our fleet ... is of upmost importance.”

- Mark Wilson in the evening. The last ship will leave Alliford Bay at 7 p.m., with no 9 p.m. or 10 p.m. sailing, and the last run of the night will leave Skidegate at 8 p.m., except on Thursdays when the ship will leave at 9:30 p.m.
