City to push for Haida Gwaii marine response

THE DEAD HAVE RISEN Feature

Region united in resource demands

After causing panic when it became adrift off the coast of Haida Gwaii on Oct. 17, the Simushir sailed away from Prince Rupert on Friday.

The Russian general cargo vessel has left behind unnerving thoughts of a disaster that could have been and worries about - Gina Garon marine emergency response time in the minds of North Coast residents.

“We are relieved and thankful that the unfolding environmental disaster was averted,” said Haida Nation president Peter Lantin, who also thanked the crew that put themselves at risk to protect Haida Gwaii.

“I’m not willing to walk lightly on this.”

City skeptical of resource benefits alliance Lots of questions, no commitment from council

BY MARTINA PERRY PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

The City of Prince Rupert had a lot of questions, and no definite answer for members of the Northwest BC Resource Benefits Alliance when they presented to council last week.

Dr. Bruce Bidgood, chair of the Northwest BC Resource Benefits Alliance, told the city the agreement is about actively working together to address the demands occurring as a consequence of a huge economic expansion.

“The overarching principle isn’t how much money we can get from you, it’s can you demonstrate need as a consequence of economic expansion. By that criteria, (Prince

“We continually see this steady drain of our money into building ... in the south.”

- Barry Cunningham Rupert) should be included, and your unique situation should be part of the calculation,” Bidgood said.

Many councillors said they liked the idea in principle, but also had a lot of questions.

“I really like the idea, and I love your dream of grandeur that one day we have the whole north [included] because you

don’t get too many stumpage fees out of Stanley Park, or royalties mining in Burrard Inlet. But we continually see this steady drain of our money into building bridges and infrastructure in the south, while our roads fall apart,” Coun. Barry Cunningham said.

Coun. Anna Ashley was curious about how money would be allocated to communities within the alliance.

“The regional district would be a perfect vehicle in terms of the dissemination strategy because they’re already in the business of allocating on the basis of service,” said Bidgood, adding the group has also had preliminary discussions with Northern Development Initiative Trust.

City holds off vote on alliance ALLIANCE from Page A1 Coun. Joy Thorkelson pointed out that all of the communities within the alliance have different taxation structures, asking if the goal was to equalize all taxations within the area.

Bidgood said communities with higher tax reliance on homeowners, or business, could lower taxes with the shared profits.

“It’s a collective negotiation. Each receives their allocation, and [chooses what to do with it],” he said.

Cunningham pointed out that under the agreement’s resolution on conflict, it states - Bruce Bidgood that if different boards cannot resolve a conflict, it goes to the Regional District of Kitimat — Stikine, which Prince Rupert is not a part of.

Point taken, said Bidgood, who said the agreement would have to be modified as they didn’t expect the alliance to grow as it has.

While Bidgood hoped the city would approve joining the alliance, at least in principle, councillors agreed they wanted city manager Robert Long to do a report highlighting pros and cons of joining the alliance, which Thorkelson said should include insight from communities that are part of similar agreements throughout the province.

Long will present the report at a future council meeting.

“It’s a collective negotiation.”

Simushir sails from Rupert on Oct. 24 SIMUSHIR from Page A1 “Unfortunately, I don’t think anyone considers 20 hours a worldclass response time. The fact of the matter is that the federal government has little interest in protecting the west coast,” said Lantin.

After berthing at the Fairview Container Terminal in Prince Rupert last Monday, the Simushir’s broken engine oil cooling pump, which caused the vessel to lose power, was replaced. Cargo that shifted on the ship’s deck during stormy weather conditions were also secured.

Michael Gurney, Prince Rupert Port Authority manager of corporate communications, said a second captain was flown in on Oct. 22, as the voyage’s original captain continues to recover in Canada.

On the evening of Oct. 24, the ship and its crew departed from Prince Rupert.

After it become adrift in the early hours of Oct. 17, a towline couldn’t be secured on the Simushir until U.S. Tugboat Barbara Foss arrived from Prince Rupert on the morning of Oct. 19.

it’s certainly no stranger to Prince Rupert,” he said.

Gurney noted there are three tugs based in Prince Rupert that would have been strong enough to tow the adrift vessel, with the decision to call on the Barbara Foss being made by the Simushir’s owner.

But Prince Rupert city councillor Gina Garon said the city should push for coast guard, search and rescue and Navy presence on Haida Gwaii.

“If there was a disaster over there it would have been a pretty large disaster, so I think we need to take some large measures. I’m not willing to walk lightly on this, I think we really need to put a push on it,” Garon said.

Faggetter hired MP reflects on Parliament shooting to study Tuck Inlet terminal

BY MARTINA PERRY

PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

BY MARTINA PERRY PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

At the end of the Oct. 20 cit council meeting, Coun. Joy Thorkelson briefly mentioned that the city has employed Dr. Barb Faggetter to do a study on LNG. Dr. Faggetter is a registered professional biologist with a Bachelor of Science in chemistry/biochemistry and a PhD in biological and chemical oceanography, who has publicized the findings of her report LNG in the Skeena Estuary: What is the Risk to our Salmon? in recent months as well as making a presentation to city council in July.

Faggetter stated that building an LNG terminal on Lelu Island, as proposed in the Pacific NorthWest LNG project, would be detrimental to salmon stocks in the Skeena River because of its proximity to Flora Banks.

But Robert Long, Prince Rupert city manager, clarified that Prince Rupert Legacy, a wholly owned corporation of the city, hired Faggetter to undertake a report seeking out any scientific issues that could arise from the construction of an LNG facility on newlyowned city land, known as Lot 444.

The report will look at the usability of Lot 444 for the purpose of an LNG facility and will not consider any of the other projects. It will be used for information purposes and at an upcoming public hearing on Lot 444.

When sessions in the House of Commons resumed Thursday morning, 24 hours hadn’t passed since Parliament Hill and Ottawa were under the attack of a gunman.

After spending nearly half a day under lockdown, it was deemed safe for cabinet members, including SkeenaBulkey Valley MP Nathan Cullen, to go home in the late evening of Oct. 22.

The following morning it was business as usual.

“I was glad to see us back to work right away doing the nation’s business,” Cullen said.

The unprecedented attack in the country’s capital began at the National War Memorial when the armed attacker shot and killed Canadian Forces Cpl. Nathan Cirillo, who was doing honourable duty at the memorial and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.

The gunman then made his way to Parliament Hill, entering Centre Block where Cullen and hundreds of other Canadian MPs were located.

“When the incident first happened it was right outside of (the NDP) caucus room where we meet once a week,” Cullen told the Northern View.

“I heard some banging and some clatter, but it didn’t first strike me at all like this was what it turned out to be.”

“Serving the North Coast and Haida Gwaii since 1995”

Skeena — Bulkley Valley MP Nathan Cullen makes a call while in secure lockdown at 7:10 p.m. eastern time on Oct. 22.

Cullen said doors were immediately locked and barricaded with tables, chairs and anything at hand.

“The amount of noise and the number of gun shots made it seem like there was a lot of people involved. We had no idea what was going on, and there was only a wooden door in between us,” Cullen said.

Officials have credited Kevin Vickers, Parliament sergeant-at-arms, for killing the shooter who has been identified as Michael Zehaf-Bibeau.

Vickers received a lengthy standing ovation from MPs as he entered the chamber on Oct. 23, trying to contain the emotions he was feeling from showing on his face.

No need for fear-mongering

R

esidents of the North Coast who were unable to attend the liquefied natural gas export forum on Oct. 22 should do themselves a favour and check it out online (just go to youtube.com and search “LNG Forum Prince Rupert”).

It was a great collection of panelists from a wide range of backgrounds and interests coming together to discuss an importance of the utmost importance to the North Coast. With Prince Rupert Port Authority president and CEO Don Krusel, BG Group community relations advisor (and former mayor Herb Pond) as industry representatives, North Coast MLA Jennifer Rice, oceanographer Shaun Thomas Dr. Barb Faggetter and Bruce Watkinson of the Gitxaala Nation coming together, nobody can argue that the voice of one stakeholder group was ignored.

The biggest thing to take away from the forum was simply this — people with different perspectives can sit down and have a mature, professional discussion about something they disagree about. There is no need for placards or megaphones or sensationalized protests.

In fact, as was the case at this particular panel, you may just find that people of different backgrounds and viewpoints agree on a lot more than people may think.

The fact that Jennifer Rice — the NDP MLA who never missed an environmental rally in her past life with the T. Buck Suzuki Environmental Foundation — quoted Herb Pond of the BG Group, a company planning to construct a massive LNG terminal on Ridley Island — in her closing statement shows that there may be more similarities than there are differences among the people of the North Coast.

Whether you agree with LNG or not, this forum was a perfect example of what should be happening — mature adults discussing their differences in a respectful way.

Editor: In the early days of shipping Port Simpson, Pearl Harbour, Otter Anchorage and Big Bay played the significant role in Pacific bound shipping from the Northwest because of their unencumbered access to Main Passage, Dixon Entrance and the Pacific.

A new era of shipping and development is being proposed for the North Coast. Much larger ships and many more ships will, if the current LNG dream goes ahead, be utilizing the already congested Kinahan Island- Green Top area.

A unified project approach that pools resources to build common and safe accessible industry infrastructure is needed to guarantee financial feasibility, safe passages and provide continuity in construction and operational jobs. A unified project approach can achieve the many benefits large scale project development will bring to the area but without the noise, congestion and loss of harbour space for local industry and recreation opportunities to global corporate competition.

The nearly pristine setting of Prince Rupert Harbour can be preserved.

RE:PORT

n 2012, the Port Authority began a partnership with Northwest Community College (NWCC) and the Invasive Tunicate Network’s Plate Watch program to launch one of the only aquatic invasive species monitoring programs on the British Columbia coastline.

With support from Fisheries and Oceans Canada, the local program reports its findings to the coast-wide collection of experts and contributes to an early detection system for invasive species not previously present in the Northwest Pacific.

The Plate Watch program is a collective of researchers and volunteers from various marine science groups that stretch from California to Alaska, some of whom have been collecting data since 1994.

Since its formal launch in 2007, Plate Watch has created an online network has been established to share information across the broad network of participating sites.

The program utilizes the simple device of a clean, flat PVC plate tied to a brick, which is then deployed from a pier or floating dock.

The plate is secured approximately one metre underwater where the largest percentage of target species can be found, and allowed to collect samples for up to four months before they are pulled up and investigated.

Together with NWCC’s Applied Coastal Ecology program, PRPA monitors a total of 20 to 30 plates at three different waterfront sites.

There are a number of species of specific interest to the waters surrounding Prince Rupert, including Didemnum vexillum (known as ‘rock vomit’) which spreads rapidly to overgrow many other species including shellfish.

For other species, like the European green crab (a potentially harmful invasive only recently introduced to the west coast), traps—instead of plates—are used to detect their presence.

Through this unique early-detection program, the Port Authority is working collaboratively with partners in Prince Rupert and across the west coast of North America to better understand how we can collectively keep our coastline healthy and free from potentially harmful organisms.

This commitment to invasive species monitoring is a key component of the Port Authority’s 2020 Environmental Sustainability Plan, which also defines new initiatives and partnerships in the community that will carry even further beyond mandated requirements and regulations.

Through its aquatic invasive species monitoring program, the Prince Rupert Port Authority is measuring and monitoring the state of our harbour in order to respond effectively to any changes—as they occur. Together with like-minded community organizations and port partners, the Prince Rupert Port Authority is introducing best practices to reduce the environmental impact of existing operations and future developments.

From two years to four decades Dale White’s stay longer than expected

BY MARTINA PERRY PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

The original plan was to stay for a couple years, but more than four decades later Dale White’s eyes remain forward in the marathon of life — he hasn’t looked back on ‘what might have been’ if he and his wife hadn’t chose to stay in Prince Rupert.

While born in Vancouver, Dale says he is from Prince Rupert whenever asked.

It was his wife Pat that would bring Dale to the North Coast in the 1970s, who he says he met in a chance coincidence while the two were attending university.

“The one and only time I dropped a course at university and switched into another one ended up being the opportunity to meet my wife. She was in the class that I dropped-in to,” Dale recalled.

The two were assigned to the same group for a project. In another chance occurrence, all the other group members dropped out of the project, giving Dale and Pat the opportunity to form a connection. A short time later, the two would be married.

In the 1970s student enrolment was increasing around B.C., making teaching jobs easy to come by when Dale and Pat were nearing graduation. There were even recruiters from school districts around B.C. stationed in universities, interviewing potential candidates for positions.

As Pat waited for an interview one day, she was approached by a principal from Prince Rupert who had taken notice of her abilities. After the interview Pat was offered a job in Prince Rupert. The only condition she had was that there would have to be another position open for her husband, with both being hired to start the September following graduation.

While they originally agreed they would spend two years in the community, Pat wound up educating children at King Edward and Lax Kxeen until her retirement, with Dale remaining at Prince Rupert Secondary School (PRSS) for his entire career.

And teaching is in the White family’s blood, with all three of the couple’s children going on to teach. Their eldest son Greg spent two years teaching English in Korea, second son Garrett is finishing off schooling to become a teacher and their daughter Kyrie works in a daycare and has her diploma in early childhood education.

The first class Dale taught at PRSS was packed full of more than 30 Grade 9 and 10 students, which he remembers as being a boisterous group of kids.

“That first semester was a real learning

experience for me,” Dale said, adding he felt somewhat overwhelmed to begin with, but knew if he could make it through he’d be OK. Another thing Dale remembers during his first few years at the high school was the huge teacher turnover rate.

“Everybody moved around for the first couple of years, but once it stabilized there was a core group of about a dozen teachers who I really enjoyed working with,” he said, noting a number of them, like him, would remain at the school until their retirement.

Dale said it was a pleasure to work alongside PRSS’ veteran staff members and form friendships with them over the years.

Now retired, Dale remains a teacheron-call and spends some of his free time providing free tutoring to students at the Prince Rupert Library. He explained it’s not something he does as a “selfless, Mother Teresa-sort-of-thing”.

“I’m doing it because I get something out of it, that’s all ... kids are neat,” he said, adding he still enjoys being able to work with students.

All the extra time at the library made Dale realize how valuable it, and other community facilities, are to quality of life in Prince Rupert and how important it is to maintain them.

Dale said he wanted to do what he could to help the library, recently becoming a member of the Prince Rupert Library board of directors.

Just a few of the ways he has contributed to Prince Rupert over the years, Dale is an unassuming man. He’s more eager to recognize what others have done for him than to acknowledge any of his contributions to the community.

“I’m more grateful of what other people have done for me than anything I’ve done individually,” he said.

Dale has also helped with the Rupert Running Club in the years since his retirement. While he was always an active person, running was something Dale had no desire to do for most of his life.

“I was famous (at the gym) as the guy who read while on the treadmill,” he laughed, noting it was a student who got him to quicken his pace.

When he was working as a learning resource teacher at PRSS, Dale was coerced by a student to join her gym class in a “beep test”, which has students run across the gym as many times as possible, trying to beat a beep that gets faster each time.

Dale said his poor performance in

Martina Perry / The Northern View

Dale White retired a number of years ago, but still provides tutoring free of charge to students who need it.

“All of us chip in somehow. That, to me, exemplifies Prince Rupert ... people step up and do what is needed.”

- Dale White the test motivated him to start running, and eventually he was able to run five kilometres.

An injury had prevented Dale from running for awhile, but when he was ready to start again the timing couldn’t have been more perfect. The Rupert Runners Club was advertising its “Learn to Run” program.

Now one of its core members, Dale said he enjoys the social aspect of the club best.

“I like their company,” he said, adding the group is really supportive.

“All of us chip in somehow. That, to me, exemplifies Prince Rupert ... people step up and do what is needed.”

Ordinarily extremely modest, Dale is proud that in his 60s, he completed the half-marathon in the GoodLife Fitness Victoria Marathon in October. But in typical fashion, it wasn’t about competing

but socializing and having a good time.

“I caught up to one woman and was talking with her, and she says ‘I don’t mean to be rude but I can’t talk when I’m running. But please keep talking, it’s helping distract me’,” he laughed.

The Whites may have had planned to stay in Prince Rupert for two years, but more than 40 years later Dale has no regrets about staying.

Throughout the years Dale had students in his social studies and English classes ponder what could have been if situations had happened differently, but it is not a question he has turned around on himself.

“That idea of ‘what if ... what if my wife hadn’t been standing outside of that classroom? What if she hadn’t been offered that job? Where would we have been? I have absolutely no regrets. I’m happy to be a Rupertite.”

With liquefied natural gas (LNG) development being top-of-mind for many in the community, the Canadian Broadcast Corporation (CBC) gathered a diverse group of panelists at the Prince Rupert Library on Oct. 22 to examine just what the industry could mean for the North Coast.

North Coast MLA Jennifer Rice joined Prince Rupert Port Authority president and CEO Don Krusel, oceanographer Dr. Barb Faggetter, Bruce Watkinson of the Gitxaala Nation and BG Group community relations manager Herb Pond for a two-hour forum focussed on the potential pros and cons of LNG. The evening started with each panelist outlining their thoughts on LNG. While some openly welcomed the industry, others took a more pensive approach.

“My thoughts on LNG are that we can greatly benefit from LNG providing that it includes express guarantees of jobs and training opportunities for British Columbians, that it gives British Columbians a fair return for our resources and that it gets the support of—and gives benefit to— First Nations and that it also has to operate in a way that protects our land, our air, and our water, including living up to our climate change obligations,” said Rice.

“On the one hand, we have a lot of economic promises about how LNG is going to bring money to our community. It’s going to help repair our failing superstructures that we have here, our infrastructures. It’s going to help bring Prince Rupert back to where it was before, that we can all remember.

On the other hand, I see a lot of other problems associated with LNG. As a scientist, I see a lot of issues with the environment,” said Dr. Faggetter, adding any terminal would have to be done in the right place and the right way.

Watkinson, however, said it was simply too early and there is not enough information being made available for the Gitxaala to form a definitive opinion on the industry.

“We still have a lot of questions that have yet to be answered. So I can’t sit here and be as positive as some of my colleagues, or negative. Honestly, I just don’t know yet ... for my generation of Gitxaala citizens, this could be a defining moment for us in terms of some of those potential benefits and things that we could do for our community and for our culture. But at what cost? What are the impacts to our culture? What are the impacts

to our way of life? What are the impacts to our rights and title?,” he questioned.

For Pond, a former mayor of Prince Rupert, LNG represents a way to reinvigorate the tax base to maintain the services and amenities people in Prince Rupert are accustomed to.

“It introduces a really healthy number of high-paying jobs and really can substantially bump the tax base ... if you look across the north and look at what communities are healthy today, they’re the ones that have strong industrial tax bases. It’s just the way it is across the north of British Columbia.

And so I see something that, if it’s done right, could be an incredibly good fit for this community and the surrounding regions.”

Krusel said that while the Prince Rupert Port Authority is “very fortunate” to be able to host LNG developments, it is just another aspect of port business.

“LNG is really just simply another addition to our diversification of this port gateway. It will add significantly to the gateway economy that is developing here in Prince Rupert, and like any other development, it will contribute to the overall economic vitality of this community and the entire region of northern British Columbia,” he said, adding that not shipping gas would be “a great loss” due to potential job and tax losses from the existing gas industry in Northeastern B.C. While those on the panel mentioned the need to find new customers for B.C. gas with the increase in production taking place in the United States, the idea of a streamlined environmental assessment process found no support from any participants. While Petronas has taken to the media to raise concerns about the length of time reviews are taken, most on the panel said the

“On the one hand we have a lot of economic promises ... on the other hand I see a lot of other problems.”

- Dr. Barb Faggetter creation of these projects should be lengthy processes.

“The current EA process, whether it’s the B.C. government or the federal government, doesn’t consider the timelines for the First Nations governments to make their decisions ... when we have these deadlines… oh, we’re going to have this chapter of the environmental assessment report out for review… you have 30 days to review, or 60 days to review it, it doesn’t always consider the timelines that First Nations governments run on,” said Watkinson.

“I talked about it being a good fit if it’s done right, and certainly I would say that it’s been our view that part of done right is taking that time in advance of starting the clock ... I think the challenge for putting together any one of these projects is they’re incredibly large. And they are complex and they’re very costly. And so there’s a whole series of moving parts and pieces that have to come together in the right way at the right time,” said Pond.

In terms of responsibilities should an incident take place, Krusel said it would be the proponent who is leasing the land that would be responsible for both clean up and for decommissioning the site when the lease expires.

Trying to decide what would make the LNG industry a success, the panelists all agreed that success would be something judged based on what is left for future generations based on the actions of today.

“We need to be able to take the time to gather the information to make those decisions properly, so that we end up down the road without the wrong decisions happening to us ... we need to make sure that we give ourselves the leeway so that still, 50 years or 100 years down the road, we are not suffering from bad decisions made today,” said Faggetter.

“If the LNG industry creates good-paying jobs, not just any jobs, but good-paying jobs ... if the local people here are able to get the skills training or the education that they need to stay in the community and to participate and thrive within the industry, it’s a measure of success,” said Rice.

“It’s finding that balance where everybody in 10 years, 15 years from now looks back at the decisions that were made today and says ‘Those were good decisions, and they’ve made Prince Rupert, have made this region a better place to live’,” added Krusel.

Forum moderator Carolina DeRyk said she was encouraged by the discussion that took place among the many different stakeholders gathered at the forum.

“I think there’s something that happened toward the end of this evening where all the panelists came together in agreement and it gives me great hope that moving forward with this conversation with all of our competing interests, maybe we can come to some resolution,” she said as the evening came to an end.

Spooky fun at Halloween Fest

BY MARTINA PERRY PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

Children will be able to enjoy all the fun of Halloween without having to suffer through chilly October weather during the 27th Annual Halloween Fest.

Taking place at the Jim Ciccone Civic Centre between 6 and 8:30 p.m. on Halloween night, Halloween Fest will consist of fun, food, prizes and a fireworks display.

Bev Killbery of the Halloween Fest Committee said there will be no shortage of fun. “Once again this year, we will have about 20 different games and stations that kids can go to,� said Killbery, noting the popular-Angry Birds game from last year is back, along with a new game involving nerf guns and skeleton targets.

Everyone will get a ticket for a free hotdog and juice box, with a mountain of candy being handed out throughout the night. Candy bags will be provided to those in need.

Residents unable or not wanting to hand out treats at their doors can still sweeten up kids Halloween by making a financial donation to Halloween Fest at any of Prince Rupert’s banks or the credit union. Those donating $20 or more are given a notice to display showing they donated to the event.

Admission is free for children of all ages, but adults are asked to make a donation to help keep the event running each year. The committee is able to hold Halloween Fest through the generosity of Prince Rupert businesses, service clubs and residents.

There will be a number of donated prizes raffled off, including a bicycle and helmet provided by Farwest Sports and the Halloween Fest Committee to the winner of the seven years and younger category. The committee purchased a Samsung Galaxy tablet, which children eight to 18

For the adults, return tickets for two to Prince George courtesy of Via Rail are up for grabs, along with a dinner certificate complementary of the Crest Hotel combined with four tickets to upcoming Rampage games from the Northern View.

For one of the hardworking volunteers, a return trip for two to Vancouver has been donated

by Hawkair.

There will also be prizes handed out during the costume parade, Monster Mash dance-off, and colouring contest (see Page A15) and to those closest to guessing the weight of a pumpkin and how many candies are in a jar.

Inside activities will end at 8 p.m., with attendees being directed to the parking lot for fireworks starting at 8:15 p.m. “We really want to stress to the residents of Prince Rupert ... that there is a city bylaw that states fireworks are prohibited to be discharged in Prince Rupert unless authorized for a special festival or event,� said Killbery, noting people disobeying the bylaw face fines and penalties. “You can’t buy them here, you can’t sell them here and you can’t let them off here.�

City questions recycling dropoff

BY MARTINA PERRY PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

Concerns with the new 24/7 recycling transfer station have been reaching Prince Rupert city councillors. “Our recycling station that just opened is an absolute mess,� Coun. Nelson Kinney said at the Oct. 20 city council meeting.

Coun. Gina Garon, who has pushed for curbside recycling in the past, said the bins should be larger, and the area needs to be more sheltered from the elements. “I think the recycling drop-off needs to be relooked at,� she said. “I don’t think it’s going to work. There’s too much wind and rain.�

Garon stated she’s in favour of the city lobbying the Skeena — Queen Charlotte Regional District (SQCRD) to extend the operational hours of the

Coun. Anna Ashley, a Prince Rupert representative on the SQCRD, said Garon’s ideas were good, but pointed out that it all comes down to costs. “Let’s remember (the transfer station) just opened, we have to try to figure it out. If they’re not big enough bins, then maybe we need to look at bigger bins. If there needs to be some sort of ... wall there, then we need to look at that. We need to give them a chance to work out the bugs,� she said.

Kist resigns as LNG Alliance reacts to tax regime PNWLNG president

BY MARTINA PERRY

PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

BY SHAUN THOMAS PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

Greg Kist has resigned as president of Pacific NorthWest LNG. The company announced Kist’s resignation on Oct. 24, saying he would be “returning to his home and family in Alberta”.

“Under Greg’s leadership, the company was formed and d continues to work towards a final investment decision this year. He leaves Pacific NorthWest LNG as a strong company with an excellent - Dato’ Wee Yiaw Hin management team and a committed, dedicated group of employees,” said Pacific NorthWest LNG board of directors chair Dato’ Wee Yiaw Hin in a statement.

“We wish him much success in Alberta and want to ensure continuity of leadership during this period of transition.”

As well as announcing Kist’s resignation, the company planning to build an LNG export terminal on Lelu Island announced the appointment of board member and Progress Energy president and CEO Michael Culbert to the role of acting president.

While he may not be with the company any more, Kist said he remained confident Pacific NorthWest LNG will “fulfill its mandate”.

“Pacific NorthWest LNG has made a huge contribution to the province of British Columbia and it was a pleasure to be part of such a vibrant and dynamic organization,” he said.

“We wish him success in Alberta.”

The BC LNG Alliance is pleased to have a better understanding of the regulations proposed facilities would face moving forward.

The Province of British Columbia recently announced a revision to the taxation liquefied natural gas producers will pay, as well as setting emission limits and an environmental incentive program.

“By working together between industry and government, we will be able to develop a viable long-term LNG industry in British Columbia that will provide thousands of jobs for British Columbians for decades to come,” David Keane, BC LNG Alliance president, said.

The group welcomed the province’s recent Liquefied Natural Gas Income Tax Act, unveiled by Finance Minister Mike de Jong on Oct. 21, which cut down the province’s original plan to charge up to seven per cent income tax on liquefied natural gas.

Taking effect in 2017, the tax rate will be 1.5 per cent for three years as companies construct LNG plants.

The rate will rise to 3.5 per cent on net income after capital costs are deducted, and then to five per cent in 2037.

Mike Morse

David Keane

Keane said the group appreciates that the government revisited its original tax structure.

“We do operate in a globally competitive market, so I think this is moving in the right direction,” he said.

“We have to work together to strike the right balance so that British Columbians get a fair return for the sale of their natural resources, and the proponents get a fair return for their shareholders.”

Environment Minister Mary Polak introduced the LNG Environmental Incentive Program last week, which included set emission limits for LNG producers.

The program aims to encourage the industry to incorporate lower emitting technology into their plants

to ensure B.C. has “the cleanest [LNG] facilities in the world”.

The government set a greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) intensity benchmark of 0.16 carbon dioxide equivalent tonnes per tonne of LNG produced, which includes all emissions from the time when the product enters a facility to when it is loaded to go to market.

Companies performing well will receive a carbon offset credit they can sell. Companies surpassing limits can buy credits, or contribute to a “technology fund”, with those funds being used on reducing GHG emissions in the natural gas and other B.C. sectors.

Along with new air quality rules being established for nitrogen dioxide and sulphur dioxide emissions, Polak said LNG development can happen without exceeding B.C.’s GHG reduction target of 33 per cent by 2020.

Keane said it’s important to recognize how much taxes LNG companies will have to pay in B.C. “This is one of the few jurisdictions where we will be paying a LNG tax and a carbon tax, along with having to purchase carbon offsets, in addition to paying PST, GST, corporate income taxes for both federal and provincial levels, municipal taxes, payroll taxes, etc.,” he said.

Our proposed mitigation is to move the marine terminal to naturally deep water in Chatham Sound. To reach the marine terminal we are proposing a combined suspension bridge and trestle. The suspension bridge would reduce infrastructure next to Flora Bank.

This updated design reflects feedback we heard from local First Nations, community members and stakeholders through our open houses, roundtable workshops and meetings with local residents.

’Makers rally past Saints, Seahawks

BY KEVIN CAMPBELL PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

There may not be another sport with athletes more pumped up after every winning point.

The courts of Charles Hays Secondary School (CHSS) rang with cheers and jeers on Saturday afternoon as the Rainmakers’ senior boys volleyball team hosted single-A provincially-third ranked Centennial Christian School (CCS) and Queen Charlotte Secondary School (QCSS).

“Let’s go” and “free ball” were among the most common audible tones emanating from the team benches as the rival Saints and Seahawks posed a strong challenge for the Rainmakers.

But the only loss suffered by the home squad came in their last match against Centennial, a game in which the team may have been a little gassed, having played two earlier matches that same day.

After beating the QCSS Saints on Friday evening to open the play day, the Rainmakers’ service game and net presence were working in their favour as they defeated Centennial 19-25, 25-13, 15-9 to take the first game of the afternoon against their ranked opponents.

Then the Saints and CCS Seahawks squared off against each other, with the Seahawks taking that match 25-17, 25-7.

The ‘Makers then suited up for their second game against the Saints and took that decision, 25-21, 25-18.

“We played them last night and we kind of knew what we were up against,” said Rainmakers coach Stefan Delloch.

Kevin Campbell / The Northern View

Kevin Rioux attempts to spike the ball as two Queen Charlotte players do their best to stuff the Rainmakers captain. Charles Hays ended up winning all but one of their games during the weekend play day in Prince Rupert.

“I’m really glad [the Saints] were able to come over. They showed really well. They don’t get a chance to get off the island that much so I was really happy that they played.”

As for his own team’s showing, Delloch commended their agility and willingness to compete.

“I would say they were fairly aggressive at the net. When you’re tentative you can’t win so when we’re aggressive we play really well.”

The Seahawks took advantage of a tired Charles Hays group in the final match of the play day and earned a 25-17, 25-22 victory over the hosts.

“It went alright,” said Rainmakers team

captain Kevin Rioux of the match against Queen Charlotte on Saturday.

“Our coverage could be better – our passing as well. We could communicate a lot more but we’ve had good aggressive plays like hitting good sets and good passes.

We still probably need to work on it [for increased competition down the road] but our main goal right now is working hard.”

He also appreciated the fans.

“It’s really fun [to get games in against other schools]. Even if the season started late, it’s really good to have people come out and watch us in the stands,” he said.

The CHSS senior girls volleyball squad travelled to Hazelton over the weekend and went 1-2 while there. The team defeated

Kitimat’s Mount Elizabeth Secondary School 25-16, 25-19, lost to Terrace’s Caledonia 15-25, 13-25 and fell to Smithers in three games; 25-21, 12-25, 5-15.

“Ashtyn Andreesen stepped up into the middle position and did well at the net,” said girls’ coach Jacqueline Jackson.

“Henzle Masocol continues to be a good motivator and setter. Tanveen Randhawa shows great leadership and is strong in the power position.”

Fans can follow the team on Twitter at their Twitter handle @chssvolleyball and on Facebook at Charles Hays Rainmakers Volleyball.

Liu falls just short of second straight title

BY KEVIN CAMPBELL ORLANDO, FLORIDA / The Northern View

Adrian Liu barely had time to wipe the sweat from his brow at the PanAmerican Badminton Championships in Markham, Ontario before he was whisked away to Orlando, Florida last week for the Yonex USA International Challenge.

There, the Rupertite Liu and men’s doubles partner Derrick Ng almost won their second straight tournament in as many weeks but fell to the Japanese tandem of Takuro Hoki and Yugo

Kobayashi in the finals.

To get there, Liu and Ng faced off against their fellow Canadian men’s double pairing of Francois Bourret and Pierre-Etienne Pilote in the first round Thursday and defeated the two, 21-6, 2117.

On Friday, their opponents were France’s Marin Baumann and Lucas Claerbout. The Canadians felled that pairing by a closer 21-15, 21-15 in the quarter-finals.

Liu and Ng then combatted Mexican doubles partners Job Castillo and Antonio Ocegueda, who never got past

the 11-point mark against the Canadians and fell 21-11, 21-10.

Overall, the duo scored 162 points while giving up 118 with a 6-2 game record in a 3-1 W-L match record.

Liu is now ranked fourth in the Americas with the points he’s been racking up in the many tournaments he’s competed in – most recently including the Pan-Am championships and the world championships in Denmark back in August.

Next up for the Richmond resident is the 2014 Scottish Open in Glasgow from Nov. 19 – 23.

Penticton meet has McChesney seeing orange Claims seventh in first varsity engagement

BY KEVIN CAMPBELL PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

It’s a big leap from an amateur swim club to a university varsity team, but Sarah McChesney is successfully going with the flow so far at Thompson Rivers University (TRU).

And that includes a new wardrobe.

“The one thing I’ve had to get used to is the orange ... orange everything – shirts, pants, swimsuits, jackets and hats. As a [Charles Hays] Rainmaker I grew up wearing green and gold. Orange doesn’t match with anything,” she joked in an email from Kamloops.

Ten different Top-10 finishes at the recent Penticton Iron Pentathlon swim meet gave the TRU Wolfpack

brought to you by

member a seventh-overall placing in the women’s triple pentathlon format from Oct. 17-19.

McChesney swam to a fifth-place finish in the 100 freestyle – her best finish – and had two sixth-places – in the 100 breaststroke and 200 freestyle, two seventh-places, two ninthplace swims and three 10th-place finishes.

“Everyone did well, but I was most surprised with Sarah’s butterfly,” said TRU head coach Brad Dalke.

“She has a lot of potential on that particular stroke.”

“I guess Brad saw something in my fly that he likes. So right now we are focused on starts and turns and feeling the water better,” said the swimmer.

McChesney had no reservations about describing her leap to postsecondary varsity status.

“The past meet I just competed in was hands down the toughest swim meet I have ever swam in my life,” she said.

“First off, we swam straight through. This means that we were not rested or tapered at all ... This was not a meet necessarily for performance

but just a test to see how hard I could push my body. Our goal for the weekend was to come within three per cent of our best times,” said McChesney, adding that she swam in 15 competitions in different strokes in three days, a gruelling schedule for any swimmer.

McChesney was the top-ranked female member of the Wolfpack after the meet and Jagdeesh Uppal finished in 12th to be the top men’s finisher for TRU. “The team had an outstanding start for this time of the swim season. Sixty per cent of our swims at the meet were within three per cent of our lifetime bests.

This is outstanding given the volume of training our team is going through right now,” said Dalke after the meet.

Despite the initial adjustment period for McChesney, she enjoys bettering herself through the increased competition.

“Since we train with the [Kamloops] club I am able to train with many people who push me further than if I were to be training back home,” she said.

Next up for McChesney and the Wolfpack is the Cascade Speed Meet in Calgary from Nov. 7 – 9.

PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

The Terrace-Rupert midget reps were pulling no punches to contribute to the cities’ northwest rivalry Sunday afternoon as the midget rep Kermodes were riding high from a 6-1 win the day before, and things got a little chippy before all was said and done.

A third-period line scuffle highlighted a rough and tumble hockey match that saw the Kermodes take a 6-3 win over their Seawolves rivals, a match either team won’t soon forget.

“That’s kind of how it goes,” said midget rep head coach Roger Atchison after the game.

“With midget hockey, everything’s going along fine and then one little thing and the kids can get excited pretty quick.

But overall I don’t think it was too bad.

Terrace has got some good numbers and they work hard and they deserved a couple wins this weekend.”

The short-bench Seawolves were playing the full lineup of Kermodes and the new additions to the team had a stiff learning curve, replacing last year’s graduates.

Atchison praised the work of Ben Rabel, Manny Sidhu and Sage Acker as newbies who are finding their feet early this season in a fast-paced league.

“They haven’t played rep for a few

years so they’re new to the system and we’ve just got to work ‘em in slow. It’s a tough opponent – Terrace and they’re getting thrown to the wolves ... it’s a pretty fast game,” said Atchison.

Cole Lindsay started the game in net for the Seawolves and while the team fell in a 4-0 hole early, they were able to claw their way back to make the score 5-3 before Eric Vandevelde put one away on a partial break in the third for Terrace after the extra-curricular rough stuff festivities had ended.

Cross-checking calls and scrums in front of the net after the whistle led to the nasty business.

Fred Mowatt also tallied for Terrace while Conner Onstirn scored twice.

For the Seawolves, Austin Weir put Rupert on the board to make the game 4-1, connecting with Drew Fudger.

Later, Cole Atchison scored a nice goal coming off the backcheck and blasting one over the glove of Kermode goalie Marshal Wilson just inside Terrace’s blueline.

Jared Carter rounded out the scoring for Rupert in the 6-3 loss.

In other PRMHA action, the Terrace Bantam reps defeated Rupert, 10-0 on Saturday where Kermode captain Mason Richau had a six-point night with a hat trick and three assists. Brandon Onstein scored twice while adding an assist and Terrence O’Brien had two goals and two assists. Joshua Fernandes had the shutout for the Kermodes.

The next day, Rupert were able to put two past Fernandes as Keenan Morogna and captain Manreet Deohl each scored once in a 12-2 loss. Richau scored six goals for the Kermodes and was in on seven of the 12 goals - adding an assist.

Quinn Mulder scored twice and Joshuir Mandha had a goal and two assists.

Meanwhile, in the midget reps’ first game, a 6-1 loss, Austin Weir scored the lone goal for the Seawolves while his No. 21 Kermode counterpart Connor Ornstein notched a hat trick with Liam Albright, Nick Nordstrom and Jarrett Harrison also scoring for Terrace.

On Tuesday, Rodney Proskiw of the Prince Rupert Lions Club handed a $7,212 cheque to Will Spat of Prince Rupert Gymnastics (PRGA), with association members Ralph Weick and Kate Toye pictured on left, and Wayne Lundman from the Lions Club on right.

BY KEVIN CAMPBELL PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

There’s been some red tape to jump through and equipment to track down, but the Prince Rupert Gymnastics Association (PRGA) has finally been given the green light to go ahead with the brand new program.

A $7,212 donation by the Prince Rupert Lion’s Club helped PRGA overcome the last of their hurdles to begin their financing last week and classes are set to begin Sunday, Nov. 2, by allow them to purchase a 16-piece playland. “We have a preliminary schedule, which is subject to change depending on the number of athletes in each category,� said the organization’s inaugural welcome statement.

The age divisions are divided into children aged three to four, another one for ages five to six, one for kids ages seven to eight, and the last being nine and over.

Sessions last for one hour, except the three to four category which is half an hour.

The first batch of classes will last five weeks with a month-long break occurring in December before sessions start back up in January of the new year.

Four coaches are preparing to lead the classes, with two already being B.C.-certified – Sara Barrow and Melissa Bishop, and two more having satisfactory credentials, but Ontario-based ones, and will need to go through B.C. procedures to be fully licenced in the province.

The club hopes to train additional coaches in Prince Rupert with Gymnastics BC as part of the National Coach Certification Program.

Course offerings include artistic, rhythmic, acrobatic and aerobic gymnastics disciplines.

PRGA is also seeking volunteers for help with equipment set-up and fundraising.

The association’s application for provincial membership is being reviewed by the Gymnastics BC board this weekend, said PRGA executive board member Will Spat.

Candidate profiles: SD 52 Trustee The Northern View offered trustee candidates in the Nov. 15 municipal election an opportunity to introduce themselves to our readers through a maximum 250 word candidate profile.

Judy Carlick-Pearson I am a born and raised First Nations, Prince Rupert resident, happily married, business owner and proud mother of our fiveyear-old son Carver.

I am currently taking a degree in Interdisciplinary Studies through distance education and at the same time working as a business administrator for an environmental consulting company.

“So, why am I running for School Board Trustee and not City Council this year?” The answer is simple actually.

Over the past three years, after sitting on many round tables discussing money, land, growth, expansions etc., I realized that our children seem to be in a secondary position to politics and development. I found myself asking provincial leaders, CEO’s and global companies over and over “what about our kids?” I am more concerned about our children and youth right now and feel that I am more needed in that area, rather than in the

heart of politics. I will most likely return to politics at some point but right now, I am more focused on helping our children.

My experience working with the Prince Rupert City Council and staff has been very rewarding and life-changing and I would like to commend them all.

In closing, I would like to say that I am a hardworking, diligent, diplomatic leader and will make the right decisions for our children as Prince Rupert School Board Trustee.

Bart Kuntz Three Term School District No.52 Trustee Finance and Building Committee District I m p rove m e n t Team I’m the son of George and Veronica Kuntz who have made Prince Rupert their home since 1971.

I graduated from Prince Rupert Senior Secondary School in 1988 and have been employed by CityWest for over 20 years.

I have two daughters currently in our local school system. Taylor attends Charles Hays and Nicole is a student at Prince Rupert Middle School.

As an incumbent member of the school board I’ve been a strong and advocate for School District No. 52 and have stood up for the learning needs of all students. I’m proud of making unbiased and well-informed decisions that have faced our school district.

A lot of good work has been started in partnership with stakeholders, but there is still more that we can and must do to ensure the success of all of our students.

I am looking forward to continuing to serve my community as your representative on the Board.

I am seeking re-election for a fifth term. It has been my privilege to be a school trustee for the last 12 years.

Should I be re-elected, this next term has the potential to be one of the most exciting. The determinations have been made about our district capacity; the difficult decisions to close schools have been completed. We have reorganized the school district to better meet the needs of our students. We have our two unionized employee groups with recent collective agreements in place providing labour peace.

So what can the board focus on more than ever? Student achievement.

My primary responsibility and goal as a school trustee is ensuring the best public education system available to our students. Their future and ours, depends on it.

I’m excited to continue the work towards expanding the possibilities for our secondary students, providing them with more choices for their careers and remaining in our community.

The board has the ability to continue to work with industry to ensure that our students have the opportunity to fulfill the labour requirements for the future. As important as a post-secondary education path is, so too is a trades path. Never before have the trades been a more crucial component for our communities future. Our students, with the assistance of industry partners and our college, are able to access these exciting opportunities.

This is a great time to be a school trustee. I ask for your support.

Fanny Nelson My name is Fanny Nelson. I am from Metlakatla, B.C. All our children from Metlakatla go to school in Prince Rupert, K-12.

In the past, I have been to a majority of the schools in our district, teaching the students how to harvest cedar bark, weave and make cedar roses.

I have been volunteering at the schools for many weeks helping

students with reading and cooking hot lunches for the students who could not go home for lunch.

I am running for school trustee as an advocate for my people.

Trustee candidate profiles June Lewis I am, June S. Lewis, I have been married for 32 years to my husband Conrad Lewis. I have lived in our community of Prince Rupert all my life. I have five children and two grandsons.

I have attended the Seal Cove Elementary School, the Booth Memorial Junior Secondary School and the Northwest Community College where I obtained my Adult Education and Associates Degree in Science.

I work as a child, youth and adult worker / support for children with special needs. I have been a community support worker for going on 7.5 years.

I have been on a Parent Advisory Committee for several years now, since my children were in elementary school

(Seal Cove, and Roosevelt) now attending the Pacific Coast School as vice president.

As a support worker for children with special needs I support as a life skills coach. I see areas of struggles and achievements.

I am also used as an advocate when needed.

As an outside job I have helped parents with their needs for their children. Whether dealing with bullying or just to talk to in areas they feel their child’s need for support in their schools.

I have been a vocal advocate when we went through the school closures and when the middle school first came to light. I feel I will do well as a trustee.

Louisa Sanchez I’m Louisa Sanchez and I’m running for school trustee because I want to continue to be a strong advocate for public education. I firmly believe that education can and should provide every child equal opportunity to reach their potential regardless of personal circumstances.

Having served as School Trustee for four terms, I’ve earned your vote due to my inherent passion for student achievement and years of volunteer work in schools and in the community.

My main focus is on the needs of students and I’ve never wavered from that goal. For me, the primary purpose of education is to encourage curiosity and the love of learning in our children, to inspire and empower them and prepare them well for their future.

I have the experience, time, dedication

and energy to continue advocating from the best education for our students.

I am well informed of the current issues that school districts are facing which includes class size and composition challenges. This is a result of chronic underfunding of public education by our government. We need to stand up and send a clear message to government that our children’s education needs to be a higher priority.

I have a proven record of advocating for students, teachers, support workers and parents and would be honoured to continue to represent the citizens of Prince Rupert as their trustee.

If knowledge, honesty, integrity and commitment count, then I ask for your support on Nov. 15th.Â

William Spat Young people are B.C.’s most valuable resource. If we nurture and develop this resource with love and care, our present and future prosperity is assured.

I’ve worked, studied, and played on three continents in as many languages. Along the way I’ve gathered an Honours undergraduate degree (UBC), a PhD (Edinburgh), and good sense of what works in education. Comparatively, it does not take a lot of money to reach the greatest heights. It does however take singularity of purpose, determination, and willingness to change what does not work. Focus on the present and on the future is paramount.

Having served successively as elected secretary and treasurer on the Board of Mountain Equipment Co-op – then doing just $100 million annual sales – and having managed resource and technology companies, I know prudent

financial administration and outstanding human resource management are keys to success. With trends of aging infrastructure and declining enrolment, financial administration and human resource management present acute challenges for School District 52.

New to Prince Rupert last year, I have a seven year old in French immersion. We speak French and English at home and a few words of Nisga’a learned living two years in the Nass Valley. I’m active in the community coaching soccer, as founding president of Prince Rupert Gymnastics Association, and as novice crewmember with RCMSAR 64. A proponent of experience-based learning, I see great potential for School District 52 to build on Rupert’s cultural and geographic diversity to pursue excellence now and for our future.

I went to school here and I have a daughter who graduated here in 2007 and one child in Grade 5. Both my children attended the French immersion program, and my eldest graduated with a double Dogwood Diploma, in English and French language.

For more than 20 years I ran a licensed in-home child care facility, and have a diploma in Early Childhood Education, with a double distinction for Children with special needs and infant/ toddler studies.

I am currently a member of the

Trustee candidates James Horne and Terri-Lynne Huddlestone did not submit candidate profiles by the specified deadline.

I am interested in running for school trustee because I believe that each child deserves the right to an education where they can reach their true personal potential. I would like to have the opportunity to participate in seeing this to fruition.

I am in support of the $10 per day initiative and a firm believer in the integration of the early childhood system with the general education system.

A WARM WELCOME

Two youth arrested and then released

BY SHAUN THOMAS MASSET / The Northern View

Masset RCMP say they have made two arrests in relation to the recent rash of theft from vehicles and break and enter to businesses in Old Massett, Masset and Tow Hill.

On Oct. 18, Masset RCMP arrested one youth and on Oct. 19 arrested a second youth suspect in relation to the same offences. Both were held in custody and subsequently released by a Judicial Justice of the Peace to live in the community until the commencement of trial. While released, the two are bound by strict conditions that RCMP say are meant to protect the community from further criminal activity.

“The Masset RCMP are acutely aware of the rash of thefts and we are fully engaged in investigating these offences and holding suspects responsible for the crimes they have committed,” said Const. Chris Kienzle.

“We are working diligently to prevent future offences, forward charges for known offences to Crown Counsel and return stolen property.”

The identity of those arrested or any information that may identify them are not being released because they are youth.

While arrests have been made, Masset RCMP say people should still be aware of what is happening on the streets of northern Haida Gwaii.

“We are asking the community to remain vigilant in keeping valuables out of your vehicles, lock your doors and windows and report suspicious activity,” said Const. Kienzle, noting the investigation is ongoing and residents’ support is being sought.

Anyone with information on this case is asked to contact the Masset RCMP at 250-6263991.

Archie Stocker / Special to The Northern View

Air Tindi’s open house in Masset last Saturday drew a big crowd who enjoyed a very interesting afternoon. There was food, snacks, desserts, a great variety of refreshments and all kinds of goodies for the kids. Door prizes were drawn all afternoon, Some tickets for the flights around Masset and Old Massett had to be earned by landing a toy plane on a paper plate on the floor, while others could purchase a round-trip for a low price of $20.

North Beach Surf Shop wants Haida Gwaii residents to snap some shots at the same time as they’re shredding some waves for its Sixth Annual Expression Session from Nov. 7–9.

Registration has already started for the slideshow and free movie night on the Friday and surfing and photography sessions on Saturday.

“The slideshow is going to showcase Guy Kimola, who is one of the best photographers on the islands. He’s captured the many facets of the north beach and the Masset area,” said shop owner Mike McQuaid last week.

North Beach is encouraging all of its participants to submit photos of Haida Gwaii waves (with surfers or without) to be used for the slideshow and to be involved in a weekend-long contest to capture surfers and waves, with prizes being awarded to the best. High tide is

expected to be at 2 p.m. at the Massetbased location.

The two films that running on Friday are expected to consist of “Bigfoot Country – The Adventures of Woody and the Blue Ox”, a short film featuring a California surfer “with footage from Haida Gwaii”, reads North Shore’s website.

The second film is titled “The Fortune Wild”, about Tofino prosurfers Peter Devries, Noah Cohen, Reid Jackson and Aaron Jackson in a comedic documented trip to Haida Gwaii. The movie was shown last year and was so popular the shop has decided to show it again. It has also won the Vancouver International Mountain Film Festival (VIMFF) for Best Water Film.

“Both of the movies were filmed on Haida Gwaii and the waves are very recognizable. They’re both well-filmed and funny and it’s a great experience for locals to see their home on the big

screen,” said McQuaid.

“It was a fun look at life on the shores of Haida Gwaii for a group of surf-seeking friends. Their message of maintaining and protecting the coast, keeping the beaches clean and enjoying our beautiful surroundings come together with great cinematography and a fun soundtrack,” said VIMFF’s website.

The slideshow and films will be screened at the Haida Gwaii Recreation Building starting at 6 p.m. on Nov. 7 and the shop’s expression sessions start at 1 p.m. on Nov. 8 with Adopt-a-Grom at 10 a.m. at Hiellen River, North Beach.

“Conditions have been excellent for all the expression sessions and we hope that this trend will continue. Storm season is around us now and we hope it will continue to provide good waves,” added McQuaid.

Day, recognizing the annual Marathon of Hope events around the world that raise money for cancer research.

Port Moody — Coquitlam MLA Linda Reimer presented a private member’s bill Thursday to recognize the day the annual runs have been held since 1980, when Fox embarked on a cross-country run that was cut short by a relapse of cancer.

As a student at Simon Fraser University, Reimer recalled seeing Fox run around the campus quadrangle and wondering what he was training for.

“It honours a great man whose combination of strength, passion, idealism and sheer guts led to the impossible notion that he would run across Canada on one good leg and a prosthesis, the equivalent of a marathon a day,” Reimer told the legislature.

Premier Christy Clark said Reimer’s bill is expected to pass with unanimous support next week.

She met with Terry’s father Rolly, sister Judith and brothers Darrell and Fred in her office Thursday to speak to reporters.

Darrell Fox said the declaration will encourage volunteers who organize Terry Fox runs, who have raised $650 million in the past 34 years.

“That’s why we’re so excited, because it gives them something to look forward to, to promote next year, and the fact that it has happened here in B.C.,” he said. “Terry Fox is everywhere, across this country and around the world, but he was from Port Coquitlam.”

RCMP deem social media night a success

BY MARTINA PERRY PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

Prince Rupert RCMP took to social media earlier this month to provide an inside look into policing the community.

The unique social media event took place on the evening of Saturday, Oct. 18 and into the early morning of Oct. 19. Prince Rupert RCMP Inspector Wayne Maughan and Const. Matt Ericson were on duty and attended calls received by other members.

As the pair responded to calls and performed their regular duties, information was posted to the Prince Rupert RCMP Twitter page: @PR_RCMP and Prince Rupert Crime Stoppers’ Facebook page. They also answered questions from social media users, and provided “fast facts” throughout the night.

Ericson, spokesperson for the Prince Rupert RCMP’s, said organizers were pleased with the event.

“It definitely was a successful event that provided a bit of insight into policing and what we do on any given day,” he said, noting more than 10,000 people were reached online throughout

“We ended up picking up 117 ‘Likes’ to the Facebook page.”

- Const. Matt Ericson the evening.

“One of our posts on Facebook reached 2,718 people. We ended up picking up 117 ‘Likes’ to the Facebook page and over 30 additional followers to our Twitter page.”

During the social media ride-along, Prince Rupert RCMP posted each call they responded to on its Twitter page, totalling 10 by the end of the night.

Of the 10 calls, six were alcoholrelated complaints. Three of the incidents involved individuals who were unable to care for themselves and had to be held in custody until they were sober, with one involving an intoxicated group of youth.

“Unfortunately in Prince Rupert we receive a fair amount of alcohol related

calls. Particularly on weekends,” reads one of the tweets.

Other calls included disturbances at a downtown hotel and on the east side, a domestic dispute in progress and theft from a cab driver.

There are higher call volumes on Fridays and Saturdays, with Ericson saying 10 calls is fairly common for a Saturday night.

Blastworks artist Jeff King completed his newest mural on the Jim Ciccone Civic Centre earlier this month, which he said was one of the hardest he’s done because of weather conditions. Ridley Terminals, the District of Port Edward, Pacific NorthWest LNG, Northern Savings Credit Union and the Prince Rupert Recreation Department all contributed funds for the $13,000 project. Since 2011, King has painted 22,500 square feet of wall in 11 different murals in Prince Rupert.

Toyota Rav4 It’s hard to remember a time when we didn’t have the RAV4 in Canada.

Toyota helped develop the “cute-ute” vehicles from Japan, along with the Honda CR-V. We had never seen anything like these vehicles before but they went on to forever change the marketplace and the way a family gets around. Today the compact SUV market has become so My time with the popular it will soon exceed the compact RAV4 LE confirmed car in terms of overall sales, which has been, for decades, the cornerstone of the that Toyota knows Canadian marketplace. The Toyota RAV4 how to make a continues to be a sales market leader thoroughly practical and for good reason. Many buyers put their money into what I call “The Bank and easy to use vehicle that pleases all of Toyota” and know they will get a good return in terms of reliability, practi- passengers. cality and resale value.

Looks Zack Spencer In terms of design, Toyota wanted to make this latest RAV4 more of an emotional purchase and not just a rational choice. The design has been sharpened with more flow from the front bumper and headlamps into a swept windshield and added character lines. Gone is the old swing-out tailgate, replaced by a proper lift gate, which is now framed with protruding tail lamps that look unique but also help with aerodynamics. One area that could use an update are the cheap looking hubcaps. These come standard on the $24,005 base front wheel drive (FWD) LE trim level and $26,270 AWD model. To get proper looking alloy wheels the buyer needs to spend $28,340 for the XLE FWD or $30,540 for the XLE AWD. In the mid-sized sedan market many cars, like the Honda Accord, costing the same amount as the base RAV4 come with nice looking alloy wheels as standard equipment.

Inside The interior is a study in how to maximize space for a family but some of the small details could use refinement. The dash face is now covered with soft materials and looks much better thanks to the French stitching but this same panel also obscures the switches hidden below. The seat-heating buttons, the Eco and Sport settings for the transmission are all switches the driver access frequently but they are not as easy to see, as they should be. Other than the dash there is still a large percentage of the interior covered in hard plastic. The up side is a well laid out interior configuration. The doors open to a wide angle and expose a big back seat with a flat floor, for easy access. The front seats are comfortable and now the driver’s seat has a manual height adjustment. Stan-

Nissan Leaf The Nissan Leaf relies solely on electric power for propulsion and was the first mass production EV (electric vehicle) sold in North America.

No glorified golf cart here, the Leaf can seat up to five adults and has more than enough power to be driven a highway speeds ... just Leaf has a rated like a normal car. driving range of When Leaf was released as a 2011 model year vehicle Nissan already 160 kilometres on a single charge, had pre-sale orders for its entire first-year production run of 20,000 but it’s capable units. Based on a stretched version of going longer of Nissan’s B-platform, Leaf uses a distances. low-slung Lithium-Ion battery pack Bob McHugh to store its electrical energy and it’s located near the centre of the vehicle, under the floor.

In addition to ample rear cargo space, the battery position also helps make the Leaf more stable and more nimble than other EV’s.

It’s a unique air cooled flat design of battery pack with four cells and 48 laminated modules. It weighs about 250 kg (600 lbs.) and came with an eight-year/160,000 km warranty. An 80kW AC synchronous electric motor drives the Leaf’s front wheels. It can generate 107 horsepower and 207 lb-ft of torque. Leaf has a rated driving range of 160 kilometres on a single charge, but it’s capable of going longer distances if the conditions are right and the driver conserves power.

The battery pack can be charged up to 80 per cent of its full capacity within 30 minutes when connected to a dedicated (level 3) DC fast charger. A level two (typical home unit) charger hooked up to a 240V outlet can do a full charge

The Toyota Rav4 LE is a practical and easy-to-use choice for people wanting a new vehicle. dard features include tilt and telescopic steering, Bluetooth connectivity, USB connection and air conditioning. The LE $1,500 upgrade package is worthwhile because it includes the very important heated front seats, larger 6.1-inch display audio with backup camera and upgraded speakers. This brings the price up to $27,835.

Drive Honda recently unveiled the new 2015 CR-V that utilizes direct injection engine technology and a slick, new continuously variable transmission.

Not the case with the Toyota RAV4, it uses the same 176hp 2.5L 4-cylinder found in the last model and is matched to a 6-speed automatic.

Launching from a traffic light is brisk and the noise inside the cabin is fairly low. The steering is easy to maneuver but some might find the feedback to be too vague. Adjustable engine and transmission settings help the RAV4 to either use less fuel or perform better. The Eco button changes the settings of the car to improve fuel economy plus there is a small Eco light that reminds the driver when the car is being driven most efficiently. The Sport buttons holds the transmission a little longer

between shifts for more responsiveness. Fuel economy is rated at 10.5L/100km in the city and 8.2L on the highway, using the new more stringent 2015 fuel economy test. The RAV4 was a solid leader on the fuel economy front but the new Honda CR-V now claims that crown.

Verdict Toyota is often criticized for not being bold enough in some of the choices it makes. Honda now has up-to-date technology in the new CR-V but Toyota is sticking with what works. This approach might be viewed as a step behind but other might look at it as tried-and-true technology that is reliable and still delivers solid fuel ratings. Toyota RAV4 was a pioneer in the small SUV space and continues to be a market leader but now the market is so crowded with entries I suspect it will need to get new engine technology when it is totally refreshed in a few years. My time with the RAV4 LE confirmed that Toyota knows how to make a thoroughly practical and easy to use vehicle that pleases all passengers. bob.mchugh@drivewaybc.ca

The Nissan Leaf is a solid choice in the electric vehicle market. in less than eight hours. The portable (level 1) charger can be used to top-up power and connects to any (110-volt) electrical outlet. The charger port is hidden behind a small door up front.

The ultra quiet Leaf has a speaker near the front of the vehicle that makes a humming sound, at low vehicle speeds, to alert pedestrians to its presence. Like all electric motors, full power is available immediately. The (regenerative) brake pedal feel is a little different and the lack of telescopic steering column may put-off some buyers.

The 2012 Nissan Leaf was essentially unchanged, however, the 2013 model year brought a bunch of technology upgrades and a new lower-priced base S trim level. An upgraded 6.6KW onboard charger is capable of reducing level 2 charge time (with 30-amp service) to under four hours. This

Leaf also comes with an improved energy management and regenerative braking systems, a more efficient heater and improved aerodynamics.

Although the Leaf has consistently received a ‘Top Safety Pick’ rating from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, the 2013 edition got a ‘poor’ rating in a new (and tougher to pass) small overlap frontal crash test. This test is designed to replicate what happens when the front corner of a vehicle collides with another vehicle or a fixed object like a tree or utility pole, at 64 km/hour (40 mph).

While saving money on fuel is great, most Leaf owners are more concerned about the environment and our dependency on oil. So far, general reliability appears to be very good and EV maintenance costs are typically lower than a gas engine vehicle.

Mascara madness Stopped at the lights the other morning, I watched with amazement as the woman in the car next to me applied her mascara.

She changed her rearview mirror position to offer a better view of her lashes then continued the operation as she pulled away on the green! Now that’s distracted driving not just for the subject driver but anybody witnessing it.
