Results of the 2014 municipal election will be released much sooner this year as new automated vote tabulators are being used in Prince Rupert’s municipal election.

Tanya Ostrom, the city’s chief elections officer, and Rory Mandryk, Prince Rupert’s corporate administrator, said the tabulators not only make the tallying process faster, they ensure accuracy by reducing the - Tanya Ostrom possibility of human error.

“Part of the reason for using it was not only to get automatic results, but it’s been very successful in other communities with regards to people spoiling their ballots by accident,” Ostrom said.

“It’s been very successful in other communities.”

Mayoral candidates make their case City’s next leader to be decided on Saturday

BY SHAUN THOMAS PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

The four candidates hoping to lead Prince Rupert through the next four years gathered at the Lester Centre on Nov. 4 for the first – and only – mayoral debate.

Challengers Lee Brain, Tony Briglio and Sheila Gordon-Payne joined incumbent Jack Mussallem for a 90-minute public forum that saw each answer six questions, two prepared by forum organizers and four from a panel of Prince Rupert media representatives. Each candidate also had the opportunity for rebuttal based on the answer given by their opponent.

The forum began with candidates introducing themselves and outlining their vision for Prince Rupert as the next great port city.

Mayoral candidates: - Lee Brain - Tony Briglio - Sheila Gordon-Payne - Jack Mussallem Gordon-Payne, who pointed to her leadership experience with Northern Health, began the evening by telling those in attendance that a bright future was closer than some imagined.

“We need to make LNG and port developments work for us now ... we don’t have to wait, we need to start today,” she said, adding her vision included a council that was the envy of others in

the region for what it has accomplished.

While touching on ideas including the regionalization of services and maintaining a full-time the fire department, Mussallem said planning was key to success.

“We require a common sense, balanced approach ... it is critical to have a plan to approach proponents and other levels of government with concerns about development and ask for help,” he said.

Brain, who said he was inspired to pursue community development after seeing the socioeconomic challenges facing some, said the time for a change in leadership is now.

“Prince Rupert is crying out for inspired leadership ... I believe it is time to move away from leaders who divide rather than unite,” he said.

Debate examines industry, openness and access DEBATE from Page A1 Briglio, who said he was experienced leading organizations “very similar to council”, said a future as a port city must not discriminate when it comes to benefits.

“We must be mindful that the opportunities are made available to all residents, not just a chosen few,” he said.

In terms of growing the tax base, Brain said the key is to be more welcoming, offer more support to new businesses and look at all industries.

“If LNG doesn’t go through, there are others there. We need to be seen as a community that is welcoming to new industry,” he said, pledging to provide a welcome package from council to new businesses.

For Briglio, bringing new industry into Prince Rupert starts with how the city conducts itself and presents itself to potential business.

“The first thing to do is go back to what we are going to do for ourselves before going out to business with our hands out ... we constantly talk about how down the economy is and then expect people to want to locate here,” he said, adding it is time to “take our destiny into our own hands”.

Gordon-Payne similarly said the city needs to make itself an attractive place so that business will want to give Prince Rupert a chance.

“We need to be seen as being interested in rebuilding our industrial sector ... we need to be welcoming, responsive and respectful

to any interested industry,” she said.

Mussallem pointed to the available land the city has as a potential catalyst for business development.

“We need to look after the raw land inventory we have and work toward the industry we want ... it’s up to us to determine what we want in this community and go out and attract it,” he said.

When it comes to increasing engagement between the community and council, Mussallem pointed to the Committee of the Whole meetings and his open-door policy.

“I am there every day and people are welcome to phone ... I am open to appointments or people can come to council,” he said.

Brain pointed to initiatives such as monthly town hall meetings and monthly written updates to improve engagement.

“As it stands, there is no space to come forward to air your concerns outside of the Committee of the Whole or getting on the agenda,” he said.

Acknowledging restrictions placed on officials by the Community Charter, Briglio said he would be as open as legally possible.

“Whatever I could tell you, if I were mayor, you would know,” he said.

Gordon-Payne said bringing more voices to the table was the best way for council to move forward.

“We have to stop going it alone. That is not getting us anywhere ... you need to bring the users of the infrastructure to the table,” she said.

To create an environment where small business can thrive, Gordon-Payne said the city should focus on reinvigorating the industrial sector, Mussallem said a balanced approach was needed, Brain again pointed to welcoming new business and removing restrictive policies and Briglio said restrictive bylaws need to be removed.

On the matter of waterfront access, Briglio and Mussallem both said ownership is ownership, with Briglio saying the city could ask for small parcels of private land from industry for residents and Mussallem saying Digby Island and an expanded Butze Rapids trail could be options, while both Brain and Gordon-Payne said the city needs to be involved in every environmental assessment to make sure the needs of the residents are met, with Brain also alluding to the proposed Kaien Island Trail Network.

In their closing comments, each candidate made their case as the best candidate for mayor. Gordon-Payne again pointed to her experience working with a large budget and staff as a manager with Northern Health, Briglio pointed to his leadership experience and business experience as the “skill set” that would make him the best choice, Mussallem pointed to his experience as both a three-term mayor with more than 20 years in municipal government and Brain pointed to the need for a change in the municipal government and his fresh perspective and ideas.

Driver shaken up after RCMP draw pistols

BY MARTINA PERRY PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

A Prince Rupert resident was shaken up after an incident that occurred last Monday night.

The Rupertite said he witnessed a team of RCMP surround a pickup truck in the parking lot, with two officers armed with service pistols and one with a rifle.

The witness said he had been asked to park their vehicle after going through the McDonald’s drive-thru. When the pick-up truck pulled up beside him and parked on the driver’s side of their vehicle. A few moments later, both were surrounded by a number of RCMP cruisers.

“I hear yelling. It’s the police yelling at the driver and the passenger of the truck to put their arms up,” said the witness, who asked their name not be used.

Const. Matt Ericson, spokesperson of the Prince Rupert RCMP, confirmed RCMP had responded to a call in the McDonald’s parking lot on the evening of Nov. 3.

“We received a complaint that was a very high risk call, possibly subjects that were armed in a vehicle,” Ericson said.

“Once the occupants of the vehicle were secured the level of the risk came down. One person was taken into custody, however at this point charges have not been forwarded ... it is an ongoing investigation, and I can’t release any further details on that,” said Ericson.

Vote counting goes digital in 2014 VOTING from Page A1 “If there’s a problem, ‘error’ comes up and it tells you what the problem is. It’s very user-friendly,” noted Ostrom.

Ostrom said a misconception about the new system is that voters must pick their chosen candidates on a screen.

However, like the former system, voters make their selection on a paper ballot which they then deposit into the automated vote tabulator.

The machine automatically tallies votes as ballots are fed in, which Mandryk said simplifies the process by eliminating the need for hand-counting.

For those who are uncomfortable with depositing their ballot into the machine, there is a manual slot into a separate portion of the machine. These ballots will be fed through the machine by election officers.

There was a good response to the tabulators during advance voting on Nov. 5, with some of the most common comments being “that’s so cool” and “it’s so modern”.

The machines are being rented for $6,500, which Ostrom said is comparable to the costs of wages for election officers and ballot printing. The automated voting tabulators’ accuracy was tested prior to advance voting and was proven Martina Perry / The Northern View to be functioning properly.

Candidates outline vision for Port Edward

BY SHAUN THOMAS PORT EDWARD / The Northern View

On Nov. 3, for the first time in more than two decades, a municipal all-candidates forum took place in Port Edward.

With eight council candidates — Knut Bjorndal, James Brown, Ed Day, Dan Franzen, Murray Kristoff, Christine MacKenzie, Grant Moore and Clayton Vanier — seeking to fill four seats and two candidates running for the position of mayor — Alice Kruta and Dave MacDonald — interest was high enough to pack the community hall. Although three candidates were not in attendance, with Mayor Dave MacDonald working, councillor Dan Franzen out of town and Vanier unable to attend, those in attendance were treated to two hours of discussion about the future of the community.

Each candidate began by outlining their vision for Port Edward in the next four years, with much of the focus on the potential growth that would come with a positive investment decision by Pacific NorthWest LNG. “I would like to see it as a place people want to retire and raise children because they know it is a safe place, and part of that is trusting the people elected to lead,” said Kruta, pointing to a desire to have a seniors centre and more places for youth to be active.

“I see the future as bright and I see the future as now. We have a lot of opportunity with resource interest, not just LNG but potential potash and port expansion,” said incumbent Bjorndal, who would like to see improvements to Port Edward roads and drainage.

“I continue to have a great interest in local concerns and issues. I love Port Edward and am committed to

Port Edward,” said Brown, a former councillor, who listed priorities as reducing train whistle noise and the development of affordable and seniors housing.

“I see it as being a nice quiet community, but to do that we need industry and jobs for our youth ... it’s going to grow and we’re going to flourish, but stay who we are,” said incumbent Christine MacKenzie, who said the possibility of LNG development is “like a dream come true”.

“We need the population to come up ... my vision is for this community to become vibrant and economically viable. We’ll still have a small town feel, with a population around 1,000 or 2,000 people, but we need to grow the tax base,” said incumbent Murray Kristoff.

“It’s good to see development, but it has to be done in a way that citizens come first ... the future

could be really great, but it could be really bad if done wrong,” said Ed Day, adding council needs to ensure all residents have “a place to live and call home”.

“We need a community that puts the people first when making decisions ... I will not sell out my people for anything,” said Moore, who added he was running to do his part to “build a great community”.

While not present, MacDonald provided a statement to be read that put the focus on what council was able to accomplish during the past term.

“In this term we were able to keep the school in Port Edward, put new water lines in and improve our boat launch. We were able to invest in our infrastructure for the community’s future while still keeping taxes reasonable,” he wrote.

Voting in Port Edward takes place on Nov. 15 at the Port Edward Community Centre.

Kids question Mayoral candidate AUTHORIZED BY JAMES L. HOPE FINANCIAL AGENT

Mayoral candidate Sheila GordonPayne responded to some tough questions from two young Rupertites last month. Their correspondence is related below with permission: Hi Sheila, I am 10 years old and my sister is 7 years old. We are doing a project for school to help our parents decide who to vote for. We want to ask 3 questions to all the candidates to help us decide. We hope you will take the time to answer us.

Date set for public hearing on Lot 444 LNG project Council seeking more information

BY MARTINA PERRY PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

The City of Prince Rupert has set dates for a public information meeting and public hearings on the liquefied natural gas export terminal being proposed on the harbour across from Seal Cove.

The city started talks with WCC LNG, a partnership between Imperial Oil and Exxon Mobile, about the possibility of constructing a LNG export terminal on the west side of District Lot (DL) 444, which the city had recently acquired from the provincial government.

The city is in the process of including DL 444 into its Official Community Plan, recommending the land be split into two parcels and put under different zoning regulations.

City staff recommend the easterly portion of DL 444, where WCC LNG is investigating its facility, be put under the heavy industrial “M5” zone, which is specific to liquefied natural gas development. Coun. Joy Thorkelson suggested an amendment be put in place that would ban developments with any oil product from being located within the area, which was supported by members of council.

It’s being recommended that the westerly portion of DL 444, which is closest to Kaien Island, be preserved for a future-public space with access to the waterfront. City staff have proposed the area be designated as public facilities, allowing for uses such as park and recreation space, public institutions, cemeteries and wind power projects.

The topic will be brought to residents at a public meeting, set to take place between 5 an 7 p.m. on Nov. 25 at the Highliner Plaza Hotel. The meeting will have city

“The resources ... came directly from the proponent and not from the city’s budget.”

- Robert Long staff and WCC LNG provide the public with information on the project.

Then, in December, the city will host a public hearing on the zoning proposal, where residents can voice their thoughts to the newly-elected council. If required, a second public hearing would be held.

Both the meeting and hearing will include the findings of Dr. Barb Faggetter, an independent scientist who was hired to undertake a study considering the environmental impacts designating DL 444 under the suggested zones could have.

Robert Long, Prince Rupert city manager, noted the city did not pay for the study.

“As Legacy Inc. is a wholly-owned company of the city, and had the resources to (hire Faggetter) that came directly from the proponent and not from the city’s budget, we went ahead and did that,” he said.

With all of the confusion regarding the role and operations of the Prince Rupert Legacy Corporation, Coun. Anna Ashley suggested that any information available on the group be posted onto the city’s website.

The newly-elected council will consider the approval of zonings at the Dec. 8 regular council meeting.

Coun. Gina Garon excused herself from the discussion for an unspecified reason.

Thank you so much for writing me.

Those are great questions. I am sure they will help your parents decide who to vote for. It is an important decision.

We won’t have the next election until you are 14!

1. What can you do for me as a kid?

It is important that we have a city that kids have things to do in. Things like the pool or dance, and things like biking and hiking. It is important that your parents can find good jobs and that it doesn’t cost too much to live here so that they can have fun with you too!

As a kid, I can make sure we listen to you and your parents. If you don’t like something or have a good idea, we should always be looking for that.

I can make sure the city is safe for you.

That includes, safety on the street like sidewalks and stoplights, or the things we offer like the skate park should be safe. It should also be safe for you to be out on the street with your friends, so we need to be careful about having police and making sure we have safe speeds or safe parks to play in.

2. Why should we vote for you?

I know that I cannot ask your parents for money (taxes) to fix things all the time. Just like at your house we need to have a budget and each year plan for what is the most important and fix things before they break like the swimming pool did.

I work at the hospital and am in charge of all the departments. I am a nurse too. I am used to taking care of lots of money so that we can take care of people. It is the same at the city. At

the hospital we have about 350 people who work there. I am used to listening to what the workers think and what the patients think. When people want different things we work on it together and are always learning and doing better. That is what our city needs.

I have 4 children. They are big now but I know that how the city is, is part of how our family feels about Prince Rupert. I want kids and families to love it here and have lots they can do.

3. What can you do to make our city better?

I am telling people 3 things and your questions have hit on most of them.

First, we need to take care of the city and keep things fixed. We need to have a good budget and not keep telling people to pay more. We need to tell people what we are doing.

Second, we need to manage and spend time with the businesses here now, and the new ones that want to come. We need to be welcoming, we need to be responsive and respectful. We can do this even if we don’t always agree with some ideas. If we don’t treat businesses right, they go to Port Ed, or all the way to Terrace and then we lose jobs and people drive there to do things. Yuck. If we have a plan for our city then we can convince companies to help us with our plan.

Finally, we need to be a city that people want to live in and stay in – not move away because they don’t like things. I want to work on that.

Thanks for writing. I think your project idea is a great one and is important.

Let me know if I missed anything,

Do the Liberals want LNG?

I

f the provincial government truly wants to establish B.C. as a competitive location for liquefied natural gas exporters to setup shop, they sure have a strange way of showing it.

Last week the government announced a framework for LNG companies wanting to make use of the BC Hydro grid. You would think that the industry would be treated the same as any other, but obviously the government sees LNG not as an industry but as a cash-cow that it can rake over the coals and bleed dry. The result is an agreement that will see LNG companies paying almost $30 more per megaWatt hour than other industrial customers.

Shaun Thomas It simply does not make any sense for the government to charge LNG more than any other industry at the same time as they are trying to promote the greenest LNG industry in the world. Frankly, it’s just stupid.

The hydro is created from the same place as all other industrial customers, it travels along the same power lines as all other industrial customers and it is fed through the same transformers along the route as all other industrial transformers. Why should the LNG industry have to pay more?

It would be like fast food restaurants charging more for burgers sold to people from the east side of town than to people from the west side — the beef is from the same place, the buns are from the same place, it’s made in the same place and it is the same product.

In short, it’s discriminatory.

When coupled with the new LNG tax — a tax the industry will have to pay on top of what others pay simply for being the LNG industry — it becomes fairly obvious the government wants to get all the money they possibly can out of the multi-billion dollar international energy firms for services that already exist in B.C. If I were at the head of one of those firms, I would be telling Christy Clark “thanks, but no thanks”. B.C. is not the only game in town.

Editor: In the opinion of Shaun Thomas, individuals have no need to speak out about regional issues with placards, megaphones or sensationalized protests.

For a person who works in the media, this is indeed a surprise and shock as Canada’s Charter of Rights and Freedoms states in 2.b that all Canadians have the fundamental freedoms of “thought, belief, opinion, and expression, including freedom of the media of communication”. To take the assault on free speak even lower, Mr. Thomas says that this kind of free speech is “fear mongering” — the selling of fear as one might sell fish. Since the article chose LNG as an example, we might look at the millions of dollars that 11 LNG corporations (permits approved by the National Energy Board) have for advertising (selling) and juxtapose that against individual citizens of our region who have read data around fossil fuels and certainly do pay attention to the reports of scientists.

Sidewalks in a sad state Editor: I am writing to you about the sad state of our residential sidewalks.

While the concrete sidewalks downtown are in reasonable repair and are wide enough to accommodate a variety of activities the same cannot be said for the asphalt sidewalks in the residential areas. Most are in poor repair and are usually only located on one side of the street, if at all.

The sidewalks in residential areas are obstacle courses for those of us trying to stay fit by walking, for parents pushing strollers and baby buggies, for children learning how to ride a bicycle or skateboard and for people who commute via scooters or wheelchairs. Most people end up using the street, which can be dangerous, particularly at night.

Obstacles include grass growing like carpet over the asphalt sidewalks, unruly shrubbery and trees overhanging sidewalks and vehicles such as cars, trucks and boats parked on the sidewalk.

Most grown-up cities have bylaws requiring homeowners be responsible for the upkeep of the sidewalks in front of their property i.e. clear ice in winter. This does not seem to be the case here.

“The sidewalks in residential areas are obstacle courses.”

- Alora Griffin My narrow street, which has a senior’s residence at one end and an elementary school around the corner, used to have a walkway until the city removed the stonewall next to it and left a pile of rubble. Now there is a steady stream of school children, seniors, dog-walkers and skateboarders sharing the street with school buses, garbage trucks, cars, taxis and bicycles.

Sidewalks are considered infrastructure in most municipalities and I would like the new council to work with city staff to improve the condition of our sidewalks. In the meantime, if you are fortunate enough to have a sidewalk in front of your house please keep it clear of grass, debris and vehicles. Your neighbours will appreciate your efforts.

RE:PORT

hrough a number of programs launched in recent years, the Prince Rupert Port Authority is gathering information about environmental conditions—and learning to ensure that industrial development respects the integrity of the natural ecosystem.

Together with like-minded community organizations and industry partners, the Port Authority is monitoring issues like air quality and introducing best practices to reduce the impact of existing operations and future developments.

Through a partnership with BC’s Ministry of Environment and School District 52, the Prince Rupert Port Authority installed a meteorological tower on the roof of Roosevelt Park Community School in 2012.

The 10-metre tower measures wind direction, wind speed, temperature and relative humidity. This data has helped create an atmospheric dispersion model that illustrates patterns of emissions released from port activities including ships, trains and other vehicles.

Following the redevelopment of the Westview Industrial Site in 2013, the Port Authority installed the port’s first air quality monitoring station, which measures particulate matter. The station ensures the Westview Wood Pellet Terminal complies with provincial objectives for the density and size of airborne particles. Nearby cannisters also collect dust. Dustfall quantities are measured and speciated (separating wood dust from insect parts and pollen, for example) at regular intervals.

At the same site, noise monitoring equipment measures sound emanating from port operations on the waterfront. The data gathered from this station is informing the Port Authority and Pinnacle Renewable Energy Group about which activities are generating high noise levels. This helps establish baselines for noise levels that will show the effectiveness of future noise management initiatives.

Working with project proponents Pacific NorthWest LNG and BG Group, the Port Authority coordinated the establishment of the port’s first wet deposition station. Funded by the two liquefied natural gas companies and administered by the Port Authority, the station is located in the District of Port Edward. It collects samples of rainfall and snow that are tested for chemical compounds including nitrate, sulfate and free acidity.

As with other monitoring sites, the samples collected at the wet deposition station are providing data that define today’s air quality within the vicinity of the Port of Prince Rupert. This information will be used as a reference for future environmental assessments for developments— and compared against future air quality to understand the impact of major industrial development.

Through these initiatives and monitoring programs, the Port Authority is working collaboratively to measure airborne pollutants and better understand how we can keep our community healthy. Commitment to air quality is a key component of Port Authority’s 2020 Environmental Sustainability Plan.

www.thenorthernview.com

Chamber of Commerce weighs in on election issues Editor: During this 2014 civic election the electorate is asking the candidates what they stand for and what their take is on the issues of the day.

As the voice of the business community, we would like the electorate and the candidates to know where the Prince Rupert and District Chamber of Commerce stands in relation to those same issues.

LNG – We support the development of Liquid Natural Gas (LNG) export facilities in and around Prince Rupert and Port Edward as an economic generator and as a contributor to a greener solution to global energy needs. We welcome this industry to the North Coast and look forward to working with them to make sure that the community’s voice is heard on issues of environmental health, safety, quality of life, social licence and community aspirations for the future.

This is an important industry that will diversify an economy that will continue to grow along with the Port of Prince

Rupert as the Gateway to Asia.

Housing – We are not in a housing crisis at the moment, but more economic activity in the future will mean fewer housing options. What can we do?

Prepare, prepare, prepare. Market demands will dictate when and if new housing goes up, what is sold and at what price. While social housing is a provincial matter there is a place for the municipality in lobbying Victoria to help our most vulnerable, but that lobbying must come from a place of partnership and not entitlement. In terms of the rental market, the city should move to relax the bylaw distinction between legal and non-legal suites to allow for more options.

Taxes – An ongoing reference during our municipal election, and echoed several times during the all-candidates debate, is the hardship that port activities and development are putting on the City of Prince Rupert’s tax base. It’s important for local taxpayers to remember that the city’s share of taxes directly related to

Development of a Pest Management Plan

support continued growth of the port and its many associated businesses, and how do we best manage the enviable tax revenues it continues to provide to local government.

Infrastructure – There is no doubt the $258 million deficit in our aging infrastructure will be a challenge for the elected mayor and council. But remember folks, we created that deficit by not having a clear plan to deal with it when times were good. Now we need to make some hard decisions around priorities and expenditures. We need to work with senior levels of government to find a solution – not demand one.

Lastly, we encourage all residents to go out and vote. This is one of the most important elections in memory. This is a time for us to choose our leadership for the next four years – the length of time in which we could see our greatest prosperity realized.

John Farrell President, Prince Rupert and District Chamber of Commerce

“We are not in a housing crisis at the moment.”

- John Farrell port terminals and properties was almost $4 million last year. That makes up 21 per cent of the city’s tax revenues. By comparison, the average B.C. municipality only receives four per cent of its revenues from heavy industry. The truth is we have one of the best industrial tax bases in the province. In addition to port terminals, we should also remember the role it plays in supporting smaller employers across town, including Quickload, CBSA, shipping agents, Coast Guard, trucking companies and many others. In turn, these are the high-paying jobs that drive the success of contractors, suppliers, and retailers across the city. It’s time we shift the discussion to asking how do we best

Heart of our City

A bit of this, a bit of that Dawn Quast leads a busy life on the North Coast

BY MARTINA PERRY PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

For Prince Rupert’s Dawn Quast, the most exciting and self-rewarding part of life started after retirement.

Dawn Eby was born in Victoria, moving to Prince Rupert 25 years ago to fill the principal’s chair in an elementary school. But she wasn’t exactly new to the community.

Dawn’s father was raised in Prince Rupert, with the family making a trip to the community back in 1958 to visit family.

While earning her Bachelor of Education from the University of Victoria, Dawn spent two years in Prince Rupert completing student teaching requirements, and working summer jobs in the community.

“I ended up staying both summers ... I fell in love with the town,” she said.

After receiving her master of education in educational administration, Dawn went on to become vice-principal in a New Westminster school.

“I had been a vice-principal for 11 years, and at that time there was a glass ceiling [for females in administration],” Dawn explained.

“I wanted to be a principal, and there was an opportunity to come here. I felt really fortunate to get the job, even though everybody thought I was out of my mind because I had a job in the Lower Mainland.”

Dawn moved to Prince Rupert in July of 1989, after being hired as principal of Kanata Elementary.

Six years after dropping anchor on the North Coast, Dawn married lifelong Rupertite, Lloyd Quast.

Around the same time Dawn was moved from Kanata to Conrad Elementary where she would serve as principal for another six years. For the final year of her career, Dawn worked as principal of Port Edward’s school.

For nearly as long as she’s lived in Prince Rupert, Dawn has been involved with the cultural concerts program, an alliance of school districts working to provide performances from quality artists in northern schools.

With the help of Dawn, Prince Rupert students have been able to take in three or four concerts per school year from a variety of artists with different cultural influences.

“Unlike the Lower Mainland, parents (in the north) don’t always have the option of taking their kids to see performances,” Dawn said, adding exposure and experiencing the arts is essential for young learners.

This is why Dawn has been on ArtStarts in school board of directors for the last six years, a non-profit organization that promotes arts and creativity to young British Columbians.

Dawn’s contributions to the quality of life of young people stretches beyond the arts. She has also given countless hours of her time to Prince Rupert’s Girl Guides of Canada program, an organization she first became involved with down south.

“I was in Girl Guides as a girl. I was a Brownie and a Guide and loved it. I wanted to be able to share those experiences with girls,” she said.

After being a group leader for some time, Dawn made the switch into administration work for Girl Guides a number of years ago, entering data for the entire top half

Playing in the band is just one of the many activities Dawn Quast has pursued since arriving in Prince Rupert.

“It’s on my bucket list to get a gold ...

I’ll keep going until I get a gold.”

- Dawn Quast of the province.

And while her volunteer contributions have only grown since her retirement in 2003, Dawn has also managed to do more for herself since she passed the milestone. The extra time allowed Dawn to relearn playing an instrument, which quickly became her favourite pastime.

“It’s my priority; I try to not let anything get in the way of it. It something I do for me,” she said, noting when she picked up the dusty oboe from her high school band days, she had been on a 35-year hiatus.

“Sometimes it felt like I never left. But it was hard, for sure,” she said.

Dawn joined the Prince Rupert Community Band after it was reinitiated and continues to play the oboe and English horn in the group today.

After gaining enough confidence, Dawn decided to expand on her abilities.

“I wanted to play in the Muskeg Swing Band, and you don’t play oboes in swing bands, so I took up the saxophone,” she said.

“I’m not a fabulous player, I just love to play,” she said.

Dawn also took up swimming after her career’s end.

“After retirement there was finally time to look after myself. I started going to the pool and swimming laps,” she said, adding she spends as many as five mornings per week in the pool.

“You’ve gotta have a shower anyway, you may as well do it down there,” she laughed.

Dawn also became an active member of the Prince Rupert Seniors Centre in her post-working life, giving

computer lessons to seniors when the centre’s computer lab opened.

Her involvement with the centre motivated Dawn to participate in the B.C. Seniors Games, as she knew many members who attended the event each year.

The 2014 games was the fifth year Dawn competed against senior athletes from around the province, coming back from Langley with three medals.

“It’s on my bucket list to get a gold ... I have a couple silvers and a bunch of bronze medals over the years. I’ll keep going until I get a gold,” she said.

One of Dawn’s longest-spanning hobbies is what she cherishes most; compiling her family’s ancestry. She has gathered info on the Eby-family tree for more than two decades, having a massive collection of data.

“I have about 80,000 people in my genealogy database,” she said.

“It’s really interesting to make the connections.”

Her enthusiasm for genealogy made Dawn a perfect fit for the Prince Rupert Cemetery Advisory Committee, which makes improvements to Fairview Cemetery and aims to get more residents to visit the site. Dawn has been a member since 2002, and is currently the committee’s secretary, a role she also holds on the Prince Rupert Region Music Society and the North West B.C. Senior Games Society.

“If I don’t write this stuff down, I forget it. So I might as well be the secretary,” Dawn joked.

Furthermore, Dawn recently joined the newly-formed Prince Rupert Recreation Commission.

In the last year, Dawn has made it a priority to spend more quality time with Lloyd. The couple have made the most of this time, spending a lot of the past 11 months travelling. While the Quast’s have done their fair share of exploring in their lives, they have vacationed in the Dominican Republic, China, Alaska and the Lower Mainland since January.

The next destination is the African country of Belize, which the couple is planning to go to this January.

Trustee candidates Headlinei face the public at forum

BY MARTINA PERRY PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

Candidates running to fill a seat on the Prince Rupert School District board of education participated in a forum sponsored by the District Parent Advisory Council and Prince Rupert District Teachers Union last week.

The forum started with candidate introductions and what they view as the biggest educational need in SD52.

William Spat said there’s a need for excellence within the Prince Rupert school district.

“In Prince Rupert, some of the things we are facing ... are declining enrolment and tight funding. I think public schools in particular have to really up the value.

We’re losing families to home schooling, and paying schools,” said Spat, adding his mission is to see some of the school

district’s facilities upgraded.

Incumbent Terri-Lynne Huddlestone said she is well-versed in what’s required of a trustee and has been involved during her two terms on the board.

Judy Carlick-Pearson, who is making the switch from city council to school board this ON NOVEMBER 15 municipal election, said she cares strongly about children, and they need support, to be heard and to have good role models.

June Lewis is a support worker for children with special needs, and said these students still aren’t getting the support they need as - Committed to the community many remain undiagnosed.

the children properly,” Lewis said, adding if elected she would fight to resolve the issue.

Candidate Fanny Nelson also said a focus of hers, if she were elected, would be improving the success of students with special needs.

Current board chair Tina Last said the biggest educational need in Prince Rupert is success for all students.

“We continue to have wonderful things happen in the classroom every day. Our graduation rates are very good, but they’re not where they need to be; Aboriginal students are not where they need to be and deserve to be,” said Last.

Louisa Sanchez, who has also sat on the board for four terms, said she regularly visits schools and has heard

from staff that there needs to be more collaboration between administration and teachers.

James Horne said he’s a passionate believer in good education, and government funding is an issue.

“The provincial government has consistently lowered the amount of funding over the years, and we’ve been forced to make severe choices because of that. We need a strong voice on the school board to push for better funding and to be fiscally responsible,” he said.

Incumbent Bart Kuntz, who has served for two terms, said district programs need to be sustained and expanded, and trustees need to fight for that as a board.

Teacher relationshipHeadlinei a focus of candidate forum TRUSTEES from Page A10 Trustee candidates were asked what they would do to increase funding in the district and, as the primary source of money for school districts comes from provincial government funding, a majority stated the answer was to lobby the government.

Sanchez said the board of education and district stakeholders must be partners to make sure the government is aware of issues in Prince Rupert. “We can continue to advocate and ask for more money, but I think we have to provide our services differently to do that,� said Huddlestone.

Horne also said working together is key, adding fiscal responsibility is important as well, something he vows to be if elected.

Carlick-Pearson said school board trustees have been doing a good job at being fiscally responsible, but it must consider all of its options when it comes to funding sources.

This is a sentiment Lewis echoed, stating all of the rocks must be overturned.

The amount of provincial funding B.C. school districts receive depends on student enrolment, which is why Spat said SD52’s board of education must work on retaining and attracting students who drift off into home-schooling and fee-paying education facilities.

Following the end of the lengthy labour dispute this September, the question of how candidates plan to rebuild the relationship between district staff and teachers was a topic of concern.

Nelson said that all stakeholders must work together and respect is needed to renew the relationship, with Kuntz saying he believes the relationship can be repaired, the trust just needs to be built.

Carlick-Pearson agreed that collaboration is key. “I don’t think the parties are so far apart that they can’t mend that relationship,� she said.

Huddlestone said it’s been a difficult few years, but the district needs to continue to build a foundation with all of its partners. “Communication is key. We need to have more opportunities to meet with all of our education partners,� she said.

Sanchez said it’s critical that trustees be involved in schools and classrooms to make direct contact with teaching and support staff. “I volunteer in classrooms on a weekly basis,� said Sanchez. “I have made it a priority because that is how I make informed decisions.� “It’s my belief that as a trustee you need to stay in touch with people and be able to be communicated to,� Horne added. “We need to be open and put the time and effort in to contacting teachers in the classroom.�

Last said she believes a critical part of renewing the relationship would be to learn what is important to teachers. “Tell me about how my role as a trustee at the board table might support you better,� Last said.

Martina Perry / The Northern View

School board trustee candidates Bart Kuntz, James Horne, Fanny Nelson and Tina Last during the forum.

Another question fielded from the crowd revolved around the ratio of administration to students within the district.

Huddlestone said she understands some in the community feel the ratio is high, but the board of education committed to a mentorship program to ensure administrators are available when others retire. “It’s really important in order to provide mentorship opportunities for vice-principals, so they can go the natural path to be a principal in our school district,� she said, adding it could be detrimental for those filling the position if they didn’t have the opportunity to train prior.

Kuntz said the subject could be revisited during budget time, but mentioned the board did investigate the ratio and discovered it was the average for school districts of its size.

Kimberly Williams is also seeking a seat on the board of education and sent her regrets for being unable to attend the event on Monday.

General voting will take place on Nov. 15 from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. at the Jim Ciccone Civic Centre.

Prentice, Clark Candidates find common ground quiet on oil Budget, housing pipeline plans plans discussed

BY SHAUN THOMAS

BY TOM FLETCHER

PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

VANCOUVER / Black Press

Alberta Premier Jim Prentice went all in for liquefied natural gas, but tiptoed around oil pipelines in his first official visit to B.C. Prentice won a seat in the Alberta legislature last week after taking over the ruling party in the wake of Alison Redford’s sudden resignation, a similar path to power as Premier Christy Clark.

And his first out-of-province visit as premier was to Clark’s Vancouver cabinet office Monday.

Asked about getting Alberta’s oil to the B.C. coast, Prentice echoed his days as an environment and industry minister in Stephen Harper’s federal cabinet.

“We talked about the importance of port investments, we talked about the importance of the environmental regime we both want to see off the west coast of Canada, which should be absolutely world class,” he said.

“We talked about labour policies and the challenges we both face. And certainly we talked about the whole range of projects that are being proposed right now.”

Clark also avoided direct mention of oil pipelines, stressing the economic clout of Canada’s three western provinces to Asian trade.

Both she and Prentice moved the topic to LNG, where Prentice vowed his full co-operation.

For the second time in two weeks, candidates running for Prince Rupert city council gathered for a forum to outline their platform and seek support from the public on Nov. 15.

Anna Ashley, Barry Cunningham, Gina Garon, Nelson Kinney, Blair Mirau, Wade Niesh, Ray Pedersen, Gurvinder Randhawa and Joy Thorkelson spent an hour at the Lester Centre of the Arts fielding questions from forum organizers and a media panel on the evening of Nov. 4, but unlike the mayoral candidates there was no opportunity for rebuttal.

Following introductions, the first question hopeful councillors fielded related to the $258 million infrastructure deficit and how to fund needed improvements. For Randhawa, Niesh, Kinney and Cunningham, the answer was to pressure the upper levels of government for assistance as they need Prince Rupert to be a gateway for the country and the province, while Thorkelson, Garon and Mirau pointed to a need to grow the tax base and Pedersen and Ashley said the

money needs to be found in the budget through a management plan.

On the question of balancing fiscal responsibility with maintaining services that contribute to the quality of life for residents, such as recreation and the library, Ashley, Mirau and Garon said more public input was needed to determine the community’s priorities, Cunningham and Randhawa said they would like to see new industry contribute to maintaining services and Kinney said the answer was to turn to the managers of the different services to come up with how

they can maintain them within budget.

Pedersen, Thorkelson and Niesh said the answer lies in the budget process and balancing cuts with taxes.

The final question of the evening, relating to ensuring there is affordable housing, saw all candidates agreeing the city needed to increase pressure on the province and BC Housing to create more spaces, although Ashley and Garon pointed to the creation of a housing commission as part of the solution and Mirau and Niesh indicating tax incentives or breaks could help entice developers.

Growth conference dates pushed back

BY MARTINA PERRY PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

The Northwest Growth Conference (NWGC) is no longer taking place this month, with organizers making the decision to reschedule the conference for spring.

The conference, which is being organized by Community Futures of the Pacific Northwest and the Hecate Strait Employment Development Society, will now take place on March 6 and 7 at the North Coast Meeting and Convention Centre and in the B.C. Room of the Crest Hotel.

“One of the major take-homes from this conference is to provide ... the most up-to-date information as possible. In anticipation of final investment decisions and other factors, it made sense to reschedule the conference to March,” John Farrell, Community Futures of the Pacific Northwest general manager, said.

The NWGC is open to small and medium-sized businesses, investors, industry representatives and up-andcoming entrepreneurs, providing networking opportunities and helping businesses gain knowledge in growth strategies.

“We’re just trying to prepare the foundation for the industrial growth to come and make sure [small and medium-sized businesses are] part of that picture,” Farrell said.

Registration for smaller-scale businesses, investors and decision makers is anticipated to begin at the end of November through the Hecate Strait Employment Development Society’s website.

There will also be a trades show as part of the NWGC, with parties interested in registering a booth being encouraged to contact Paul Vendittelli, Prince Rupert’s economic development officer, at 250-617-5138 or by email at paul.vendittelli@princerupert.ca.

LNG to pay more for hydro

BY SHAUN THOMAS PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

Liquefied natural gas exporters wanting to use BC Hydro to power their terminals can expect to pay more for the service than other industries in the province.

The provincial government outlined its terms for terminals

Mike Morse

connecting to the grid, a plan that will see the LNG industry pay $83.02 plus tax per megaWatt hour of electricity in comparison to an average of $53.34 plus tax per megaWatt hour paid by other industrial customers. LNG customers will also be required to contribute the full cost of connecting to the BC Hydro

system, as well as transmission system upgrades required to serve their facilities.

Despite the increased cost BC Hydro signed up their first LNG customer as LNG Canada, which is proposing to construct a terminal in Kitimat, signed an agreement to power a portion of its terminal with hydroelectricity.

PRPA signs on Port cargo down from 2013 for KleinPort

BY SHAUN THOMAS

PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

Expected to improve efficiency

BY SHAUN THOMAS PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

The Prince Rupert Port Authority (PRPA) is the first port in the province to sign up for an internationally-used information management system.

Klein Systems Group announced on Nov. 5 that the PRPA had entered into an agreement to install the KleinPort Port Management Information System, which is in use by 35 other clients around the world. The system manages and tracks operational activities and cargo data, generates billing for services and charges and performs in-depth data analysis and reporting, with the company saying it is expected the system will “significantly increase the efficiency of the port authority”.

Don Krusel, president and CEO of the Prince Rupert Port Authority, said the record of the software is what made it attractive.

“We selected Klein for its port industry experience and its proven ability to deliver comprehensive port management solutions,” he said.

“As a B.C. company, we are very pleased to welcome Prince Rupert Port Authority as our first B.C. port customer,” added Pete Behrendt, Managing Director of Klein Systems.

With two months left in 2014, cargo through the Port of Prince Rupert is below the record year experienced in 2013.

The largest decline this year is being experienced by Ridley Terminals, which moved 6.46 million tonnes through the first 10 months of 2014 compared to 10.52 million tonnes during the same time last year, a drop of 38.57 per cent driven by declines in the movement of all products. In October, the terminal was down nearly 50 per cent compared to last October, moving 557,581 tonnes compared to 1.10 million tonnes last year.

Also experiencing a steep drop this year is the number of logs being moved from the harbour, which is down 11.3 per cent so far this year to sit at 321,745 tonnes compared to 362,733 tonnes last year. Like Ridley Terminals Inc., the harbour had a major drop in tonnage this October compared to last, falling 53.96 per cent from 56,678 tonnes to 26,555 tonnes.

Fairview Terminal saw a slight increase in tonnage this October compared to last, an increase driven by the movement of empty containers.

Overall the terminal moved 47,109 TEUs compared to 44,699 TEUs last October, an increase of 5.39 per

cent, although the number of loaded containers handled by Fairview was down 10.66 per cent to sit at 33.83 million TEUs. Imports were down 3.73 per cent while exports were up 16.36 per cent, although the number of loaded containers leaving Fairview Terminal was down 21.47 per cent compared to a 90.98 per cent increase in the number of empty containers leaving Prince Rupert. So far this year Fairview Terminal has moved 504,240 TEUs, up 13.15 per cent from 2013, with imports up 16.07 per cent and exports up 9.35 per cent.

Despite a small decline in tonnage last month, Prince Rupert Grain has had the largest year-over-year increase.

So far in 2014 the terminal has moved 5.51 million tonnes compared to 4.16 million tonnes during the same time last year, an increase of 31.92 per cent, despite a 4.04 per cent drop in tonnage in October compared to October, 2013.

So far Westview Terminal has moved 410,663 tonnes of wood pellets.

In total this year there has been 17.75 million tonnes moved through the port, a 9.06 per cent drop from the 19.52 million experienced through the first 10 months of last year, with year-over-year numbers for October dropping 23.06 per cent from 2.21 million tonnes to 1.7 million tonnes.

Heartbreak for Rainmakers in zones final

BY KEVIN CAMPBELL PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

This one hurt.

There’s no dancing around how close these Charles Hays (CHSS) Rainmakers came to winning zones – three points to be exact – and it’ll sting for a little while.

The senior boys’ volleyball squad suffered a heartbreaking best of five, three-games-to-two loss to the Smithers Secondary Gryphons (SSS) in the senior boys’ AA zone championship held at Charles Hays on Saturday afternoon, and they went out after coming back from a two-games-to-none deficit.

The scoreboard went a little something like this for CHSS-SSS: 16-25, 17-25, 2519, 25-23, 12-15.

A seemingly insurmountable comeback was placed in front of the Rainmakers, led

by Grade 12 captain Kevin Rioux, after Smithers caught the ‘Makers napping in the first game and beat the home team.

After that, the team woke up and adjusted their game plan to the fast, hardserving and accurate Gryphons side, who served notice this wouldn’t be an easy win or a zones to quickly forget for the Rainmakers.

‘Makers coach Stefan Delloch provided his troops with some words of wisdom after they fell in their second game. The team now faced elimination with one more loss, but it wouldn’t be on Delloch’s watch.

“We just said we were going to take it one point at a time and it didn’t matter what had happened, it mattered what was going to happen,” said Delloch after the game.

And it was in the third game that the Rainmakers started to assert themselves and turn the tide in front of a packed crowd, including some lively supporters from the women’s volleyball teams.

“Most teams ... would have folded in that scenario, but we ended up pushing all the way back to that fifth game.”

- Stefan Delloch “Our passing was better in the last three games. We had a lot of attention to detail in the back row – digging up lots of balls. Everyone was on their toes all the time and our Grade 11s are big, tall guys.

They can put the ball down. We just have to make sure we get nice passes and then we’re rolling,” said Delloch.

It was in that agonizing fifth set where the Gryphons finally caught the momentum of the rolling ‘Makers and took an initial 4-0 lead, silencing the crowd, when the home side at last ran out of fuel.

As the team fought back and made it a 5-8 game before they were almost on par with their opponents catching up 1112, the Gryphons pulled away for good, shattering dreams of provincials for the Rupertites.

Grade 11 student Justin McChesney was awarded Player of the Game for Charles Hays while Matt Fowler took the honours for the Gryphons.

For such a young squad, Delloch said he was impressed with how they handled their adversity in what was perhaps the most intense game of volleyball played at the high school in the last few years.

“I’m so proud of these guys – especially to have so many Grade 11s in our starting

lineup, the way they fought back ... I would say most teams that have the amount of Grade 11s that we have would have folded in that scenario, but we ended up pushing all the way back to that fifth game,” said the coach.

Included in this year’s team is Rioux, McChesney, Aiden Bull, Paul Cavin, Kenny Cao, Tyler Duffy, Sean Harris, Alex Lindenthal, Cole Marogna, Jon Nelson and Cullen Riley.

If the Rainmakers achieved one thing from the match on Saturday it was that they served notice to the Northwest that they’ll be a tremendous force to be reckoned with next year.

“Five of our starters are coming back,

so are both of our middles – one power, one offside and our centre ... next year’s team will actually be quite a bit stronger, so these guys have a lot to look forward to and they should be really proud of the effort they put in,” said Delloch.

As for the graduating Rioux, the bench boss said he can go out with his head held high.

“You’re in Grade 12, you don’t want to go out on a losing note but the guy played his heart out. He left it all on the court and that’s all you can ask of him so we congratulate him on a good career as a Rainmaker,” said Delloch.

This weekend the senior girls will hit the court for their zones championship.

RE/MAX takes atom tourney with 8-4 win

BY KEVIN CAMPBELL PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

Two of the Northwest zone’s atom hockey powerhouses met in a final clash for all the bragging rights last weekend as the Prince Rupert RE/MAX “atoMcs” met the Houston Flyers in Prince Rupert’s 2014 Atom House Tournament on Sunday afternoon.

And a five-goal outburst at the start of the game was enough to propel RE/MAX to the championship title with an 8-4 win over their Flyers competitors.

“It was lots of close games, so the kids worked really hard,” said RE/MAX coach Vince Aceto after the win.

“We had a mixed batch of some kids that are new to the game and kids that have been playing awhile and they really gelled. They really brought it together and every kid worked hard every shift, game in, game out.”

Noah Aceto and Jonathan Pirillo stole the show for RE/MAX as both players notched hat tricks, while Gavin Magnusson and Kaiden Munroe scored singles for Rupert.

In net for the atoMcs was the stellar Jacob Gordon, who didn’t allow a goal until two minutes into the second period when the score was 5-0 RE/MAX. Noah got things going 2:30 into the first period with a quick goal on a breakaway to open the scoring, and he even closed the scoring as he scored RE/MAX’s eighth and final tally with a shot high over the blocker of Houston goalie Karsyn Niven.

Pirillo then added to the lead when he streaked down the left wing and sniped a shot over the glove of Niven. Magnusson followed that up with a shot on a rebound, and then had to fight off getting the wind knocked out of him as he collided with a Flyer right after.

Two more goals by Pirillo made it 5-0 thirty seconds into the second frame.

After a goal by a Flyer, Munroe deked out the Flyers’ defence and slid one home for the atoMcs’ sixth goal.

Later, Noah would score shorthanded and then once more to finalize the 8-4 win.

Gordon had some highlight-reel saves including a nicely-done poke-check on a Houston breakaway in the third period.

Kadin Melanson and Hunter Guy were rock-steady on defence, as were Pirillo and Hayden Wilson.

Jaden Andreesen got off a nice one-timer that was stopped in the third period, and Robert Christenson, Arjen Bains, Cameron Dendys and Spencer MacDonald also had great games in the championship victory.

Kitimat took home third-place honours with Prince Rupert NCSG grabbing fourth.

Terrace won fifth-place, beating out the all-girls Prince Rupert Helijet squad as they took sixth. Smithers and Hazelton rounded out seventh- and eighth-place respectively.

PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

Two tough losses awaited the Prince Rupert Rampage as they headed out on their Williams Lake - Quesnel road trip this past weekend, but it wasn’t for a lack of scoring.

Eight goals were collected by the rhinos in two games, with two against the Williams Lake Stampeders and six against the Quesnel Kangaroos.

After five goals straight for the Stamps on Saturday night, Jared Meers notched two of his own midway through the third period to break Stamps goalie Justin Foote’s shutout bid.

Craig Munro assisted on both tallies, while Cole Atchison and Greg Sheppard had the other helpers.

Jarrod Hildebrandt turned away 30 of the Stamps’ 35 shots.

David Gore scored twice, Dylan Richardson had a goal and two assists and Stuart Sasges and Matt Lees notched singles for the home team Stamps (7-0-0).

“We were missing a few guys this weekend and the bench was a bit shorter, but we have a talented, hardworking group and played Williams

Only The Best

Lake close the whole way - the only difference being Williams Lake capitalized on their chances,” said Rampage defenceman Derek Baker on Monday.

The next day, the Rampage broke out in a six-goal offensive outburst, but the team fell 9-6 to the Kangaroos (4-4-0).

Craig Munro scored twice to improve his season totals to four goals and two assists in seven games and Jordan Aubee, Tom Robinson, Cole Atchison and Jared Meers also found the back of the net in the loss.

Justin Fulton and Josh McDonald each had a hat trick for the ‘Roos with Alessio Tomassetti picking up two goals and two assists and Ryan Hanes grabbing a goal for Quesnel.

Hildebrandt and Jordan Vanderwiel split netminding duties with Hildebrandt stopping three of six shots and Vanderwiel turning aside 32 of 38.

“Both teams played Saturday night so I’m sure we both experienced a bit of fatigue at points in the game. We did a good job keeping shifts short and with purpose,” added Baker.

While the Rampage spent some long hours on a bus during the trip, the team was able to let off some steam

at a Prince George Cougars game last Friday night as the home side took on the Victoria Royals, eventually winning 3-2.

“The Cougars game was a great chance to get off the bus for a few hours and watch a pretty good calibre of hockey,” said Baker.

The Rampage now find themselves in a hole, with a 1-5-1 record after seven games, but remain only one point out of a playoff spot in the Central Interior Hockey League’s West Division as Smithers holds down second-place.

Smithers has two games in hand on Rupert.

After seven games, Jared Meers (5 goals, 5 assists, 10 points), Tyler Bates (4-4-8) and Kory Movald (3-5-8) are the offensive leaders for the rhinos. All three make up the team’s top line.

The next date for the Rampage is in Smithers for a doubleheader against the Steelheads on Saturday, Nov. 22 and Sunday, Nov. 23.

AROUND THE LEAGUE Lac La Hache doubled up on Quesnel on Friday, winning 6-3 while Terrace survived a Steelheads comeback, hanging on for a 5-4 win.

They’re probably the only team in the entire Northwest zone who can play three recently-moved exchange students as starters, lose their two fastest guys on the outside and still come within just a few tries of securing a zones victory for Charles Hays (CHSS) rugby sevens.

The CHSS Hurricanes hosted the Smithers Secondary Gryphons on Saturday, and fell by a two-game aggregate score of 22-7, but played a spirited and inspiring two games against one of the best teams in the Northwest.

“We’re good players. It did break down a little bit for our lines, but honestly we put out a good performance and we had fun playing the game,” said team co-captain Tanner Pretulac after the games.

The first match saw both sides feel each other out, and it was one try by the Gryphons that made the difference in an extremely tight 5-0 win for Smithers.

“It was pretty much anyone’s game,” said Hurricanes head coach Andy Enns.

Unfortunately for the Rupert side, a key cog in their offensive weaponry was sidelined early as Liam Robertson had to retire from the day with an injury.

Later on, the team’s other outside threat, Cody Schaeffer, also had to leave the game with a knock to his head.

“We lost our starting scrum-half and our co-captain, both of whom are the fastest players on the team, so that changes how we play the game – once we lose the speed on the outside,” said Enns.

But that didn’t deter the Hurricanes.

“Our team was up for it. Even after we made all those changes, we were arguably better. We were hitting better, passing better once we got into the flow of the game ... the outcome didn’t show it, but they were both very, very tight games. I’m extremely impressed with our rookies that we had this year, which we had many that had never touched a rugby ball before, learned the game and were dominant out there,” said Enns.

The Gryphons took the second game 17-7 and it was Pretulac that scored the team’s only points late in the game. The team’s strong coverage and communication gave them the edge in the first half of each game, while the Hurricanes usually turned up the heat later on in the second halves.

“It started out a bit of a mess, but we pulled it together. It was just a pass and we kept mauling through their guys and it turned into two rucks and the ball came out. I drove through two guys and hit the ground right before the line and I just jumped up and placed the ball,” said Pretulac.

Other Hurricanes who had fine efforts this season, among others, include Mathis Chaniol, Johnathon Lundman, Branden Skaar and Chase Woelders.

While rugby sevens is now finished for the season, rugby 15s will begin at the end of March in 2015.

Tony Briglio I am Tony Briglio and I am seeking your vote for mayor.

As a life-long resident, I care deeply for Prince Rupert and have the necessary skill sets that Rupert needs now.

Our window of opportunity is short and your mayor needs to be able to open doors that will listen at all levels. I have 40 years of experience in business and financial services, 25 years in health care at the executive board level and six years on city council. I have made connections at the local,

regional, provincial and federal levels.

I know the doors that need to open and the people that can make a positive difference for us. I have their trust and respect and they will listen!

To be clear, I can afford the time and I have the energy that will enable me to put the office of mayor as priority one.

Prince Rupert is my family’s chosen home and it has been very good to us all.

It has provided a safe haven for all my relatives to springboard from a life of

poverty to one that has enabled us all to achieve all our dreams that were beyond our wildest imaginations. Sadly some of my family no longer live in Prince Rupert as they had to move for lack of work. My dream is to one day see some of them return. I would love to be part of a team that would rebuild our town to afford options for our loved ones, including my son, to come back home to work.

It’s TIME for me to pay it forward.

I am excited at this opportunity and I will not let you down. On Nov. 15, 2014 I ask for your vote to help me restore Prince Rupert to its rightful place.

WE THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR SUPPORT!

Sheila Gordon-Payne Our city is at a time where key decisions must be made and action taken.

The role of mayor is critical.

It needs the right knowledge and experience.

Sheila has both.

Sheila has lived in Prince Rupert for almost 30 years. She came as a registered nurse to work in the intensive care unit and was later appointed head nurse of the intensive care and the emergency departments.

After that, she managed our hospital’s Quality and Risk Management Department, followed by becoming the director of care. Her education was financially assisted by the BC Nurses

Union.

For the last five years, she has been the administrator of this hospital and the two hospitals on Haida Gwaii, with responsibility for the management of 500 employees and a budget larger than the city’s.

Sheila works with six unions and many stakeholders in her role managing the hospital. It takes skill to meet multiple and competing needs, something she has been able to demonstrate by being the longest person holding this position in the last 15 years. We need clear vision, prioritized action and a leader who is able to work with many different

RE-ELECT

stakeholders so that we can handle the challenges and move forward to success.

If Sheila is elected, she will resign from her current job and apply for a new one with Northern Health to allow more time for the city.

Sheila believes that a mayor needs to have the ability to blend the wants of a community with the needs of a city and ensure decisions are made about how to appropriately spend your tax dollars and achieve our priorities and goals.

Leadership, is the ability to turn vision into reality for the good of our community.

Put an X by success and vote Sheila Gordon-Payne for mayor.

for the city; leader of city council; chief executive officer of the municipal corporation, and monitors city council’s directives implemented by city staff.

He is the only mayoral candidate that has ever been a mayor.

He and his supporters believe continuity is important to our city at this time of considerable growth and realize after re-election there will be no delay in the working consistency and stability of our city government.

Various concerns and considerations must be dealt with; pursuing new revenue opportunities to combat the $258 million infrastructure deficit; redevelopment of Watson Island;

Candidates: Port Edward Mayor Alice Kruta

My name is Alice Kruta, born in Prince Rupert in 1956 to very hard working parents, Karl Kruta from Prague and Alice Tait of Kispiox, they owned the Green Rooms Hotel.

Ten years later we were in Vancouver, dad bought run down businesses to renovate and sell, the most memorable being Burnaby Rest Homem the elders that lived there touched me deeply, I was 12 and this is when I was taught about hard work.

My working career has varied, starting at 16 it ranged from youth counsellor, then clerk at CEIC (received outstanding performance review), next to college for bookkeeping/accounting, then clerk at TD Exchange, education program manager at Indian and Northern Affairs (allocated a $14m/annum budget), administrator for Mowachat (at a national conference in Seattle on alcohol and sexual abuse, I was identified as the key person who started action to end the serious

abuse problems), Kitselas and Moricetown Native Bands, administrator for Gitxsan Watershed Authority, executive director Gitxsan Health Authority seeing the implementation of the Medical Services Pilot Project and finally to running my own consignment store.

My husband and partner of 34 years is Ed Day also running for council, please read his profile for more information.

As mayor, I shall do what is necessary, starting by listening to the voices of Port Edward citizens. Communications will be more inclusive and the District Update will include monthly updates, an overview of minutes, legal land transactions. A public bulletin board will be placed by the post office.

A review of previous council decisions will be made to bring the community up to speed. We will review the Official Community Plan which is a reflection of the community vision. Representatives from various groups will sit at the council table, so that no voice goes unheard.

Dave MacDonald I have been a part of the community of Port Edward for 45 years. In that time I have married my wife Audrey, raised a family and now enjoy being a grandparent.

I am asking for you, the people of Port Edward, for your support for another term as mayor as I have in three previous occasions. I have the energy, drive and experience required to continue the good work that has been done over the past three years.

In this term we were able to keep the school in Port Edward, put new water lines in and improve our boat launch. We were able to invest in our infrastructure for the community’s future while still keeping taxes reasonable. We were able to capitalize on investment opportunities by purchasing and the subsequent sale of Crown land for profit to improve

the state of out finances and tax base.

Knowing Pacific Northwest LNG is looking to build on Lelu Island, myself and council have insisted that environmental concerns be included consistently in our long-term planning. The company would have to build the plant as environmentally friendly as possible and we have seen positive steps in that direction.

We have made good decisions in the past, invested in our future and this will position us well for our goal of improving our community.

Some residents feel we don’t do enough for youth and seniors, but, we have worked with School District 52 to keep the school in Port Edward by providing a new building, playgrounds and a skateboard park with the assistance of other businesses providing funds for the projects. We are in the process of working with the government for senior and low-cost housing.

Please vote Dave MacDonald for mayor. Thank you for your support in the past, present and hopefully the future. Whoever you support please get out and vote.

SITKA Sitka is our sweet senior! He is an American Bulldog/Lab Cross who is about 8 years old. Sitka has lived most of his life on a chain, but still one of the most adoring dogs we have met. Sitka will need a calm owner, to help him learn what life off the chain is like and let him experience new things. Sitka would benefit from crate training, but likely it would need to be done slowly.

City outlines plans for camp site

GREY CUP PARTY November 30, 2014

BY MARTINA PERRY PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

The City of Prince Rupert has singled out potential sites for a construction workers’ camp and storage/material handling area.

With major industrial projects being proposed in and near Prince Rupert, the city is pitching adjustments be made to its Official Community Plan in order to temporarily zone two pieces of cityowned property under the industrial land use designation.

“This is a zone to facilitate activities within our zoning bylaw that will take place for a finite period of time,” Robert Long, Prince Rupert city manager, said during the Nov. 3 council meeting.

If it goes through, the city could lease the sites to interested developers wanting to create a camp for its workers and a lay down, storage/material handling area to accommodate their project.

Two pieces of land have been pinpointed as having the potential for the plans.

The first is a smaller lot on Wantage Road, previously occupied by a mobile home park, that would be suitable for a lay down, storage and materialhandling area.

Bone in/Bone Out $ .00 Garlic Bites 7 Jumbo Chicken $ .00 Wings (8) 9 Full Nacho $ Grande 12.00

Courtesy, City of Prince Rupert

The City of Prince Rupert is looking to rezone two pieces of land to allow for camps.

The second, larger lot is part of the former city dump, which has the capacity to house a workers’ camp. There’s contaminated soil present in this area, that the leasee would have to remediate as part of the site’s development. This would be beneficial to the city, making an unusable piece of land available for future use.

Long said opening up the parcels of land shows the community is able to welcome project workers, some who may want to stay.

“We hope that by getting them into our community in camps that they will see the attractiveness of our community and want to live here permanently. We

think the closer we can get them to some of our assets, our recreation facilities, our golf course, the better it would be,” he said.

“We’ve talked a lot about the need to plan and try to take advantage of the potential developments in our area, and I think this is an example of exactly that,” Coun. Anna Ashley said.

The city will host a public hearing on the rezoning of the lands at the beginning of the Nov. 24 council meeting, starting at 7 p.m. in City Hall’s council chambers.

Later that meeting council will decide whether or not to move forward with the plans.

RCMP in serge armed

BY JEFF NAGEL VANCOUVER / The Northern View

Last month’s attacks on Canadian soldiers in Ottawa and Montreal have prompted the RCMP to arm officers who appear in public in red serge and to take extra steps to protect auxiliary constables who volunteer unarmed in the community.

The new requirement for direct supervision is expected to mean more armed regular RCMP officers accompanying unarmed auxiliaries at major public events than did in the past, according to Assistant Commissioner Dan Malo, the Lower Mainland District Commander for the RCMP. “Our reality changed after the events of Ottawa,” Malo said,

referring to the Oct. 22 killing of Cpl. Nathan Cirillo as he guarded the National War Memorial on Parliament Hill.

He predicted the main impact will be on police staffing of major summer festivals.

“It’s a shift in our cultural thinking on how we deploy police officers or anybody that is identifiable with law enforcement.”

Operational decisions on exactly how those events are staffed will be up to the local commander based on their assessment of potential threats and other factors.

Malo was not able to say whether the changes will increase costs to cities or decrease the number of officers on duty to respond to other calls, but added policing costs will likely rise for some festivals.

UP IN SMOKE

BY ALEX RINFRET QUEEN CHARLOTTE / Haida Gwaii Observer

The Haida Gwaii SPCA is appealing for help from the public after someone stole all of the money raised at the Halloween dance that took place on Nov. 1 at the Queen Charlotte community hall.

The organization posted a statement on Facebook Nov. 2 saying the stolen cash amounts to 20 per cent of the SPCA’s annual fundraising amount. A dozen volunteers had spent the night selling tickets, serving drinks and cleaning up, only to see their efforts come to nothing.

The Queen Charlotte RCMP said the cash box contained several thousand dollars and was stolen from the kitchen area shortly after the dance had ended.

Police searched the area and found the cash box, empty, in the covered Farmers’ Market area near the hall, said Const. Ryder Birtwistle. While a police officer was dealing with the evidence, a red, full-size, lifted, newer Ford truck was observed to come from Bay Street. The officer attempted to stop the truck but it sped off and a short chase ensued.

Const. Birtwistle said it became obvious the truck was not going to stop so police returned to the community hall to finish gathering evidence. The cash box and other evidence has been sent to Prince Rupert Forensic Identification unit for analysis.

Police are investigating the possible involvement of the driver of the red truck and occupants to the theft, as well as any other leads that are found. Const. Birtwistle said it is possible the truck being on the scene was a poorly timed coincidence and, if so, RCMP are asking the driver and occupants to contact police to explain themselves. The truck has been located and impounded under the Motor Vehicle Act. Police need the public’s assistance to help resolve this significant theft and case of erratic driving.

If you wish to report anonymously, that can be done through Crime Stoppers or by calling the Queen Charlotte RCMP and telling police you wish to remain anonymous, Const. Birtwistle said. This allows an officer to ask more specific questions and obtain more pertinent information in a confidential manner.

If you have information about this crime or any other crime in the area please contact Queen Charlotte RCMP at 250-559-4421 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Frustration growing as property crimes increase on the north island

BY LAURA BISHOP MASSET / Haida Gwaii Observer

The Village of Masset is appealing to Prince Rupert Crown Counsel for help in ending a recent spike in property crime, saying the level of community frustration is growing steadily.

“The consensus in the community and on social media is that something different needs to be done. The revolving door of arrest, release on conditions, and repeated breach of those conditions is not working,” reads the letter signed by Mayor Andrew Merilees.

The village decided to write the community impact statement when it met Oct. 27, after hearing from Cpl. Peter Dionne, the Masset RCMP operations officer.

“There’s been a significant increase in property crime in the last two months versus this period last year,” he said of the north-end communities of Masset, Old Massett and Tow Hill.

Last year during the period from Sept.

1 to Oct. 27, Masset RCMP recorded two break and enters, two thefts from a motor vehicle, and no breaches of conditions or failure to comply. This year during the same period of time, break and enters increased to six, thefts from a motor vehicle increased to 12 and breaches of conditions or failure to comply increased to 17.

“We’re aware of the source of these issues. We’ve made multiple arrests and they’ve been brought before the courts

on four or more occasions,” Cpl. Dionne told council.

Two youths were arrested in relation to the recent thefts and break and enters.

Both were held in custody until released by the Justice of the Peace to live in the community pending trial under strict conditions that are meant to protect the community from more criminal activity.

But concern was raised at the council meeting that the youths involved may be living on their own without supervision.

“Where we’re located and with our population base quite often Haida Gwaii gets left out of services. Is there a service we’re missing out on to provide youth? Are there any services Haida Gwaii could benefit from that we could try to secure?” Coun. Barry Pages asked.

Social services have been trying to find supportive homes for the youths involved, said Cpl. Dionne, and one is currently living in foster care. However, he said foster parents in the community have reported being rejected or victimized and may be reluctant to take them in.

“The young people we’re dealing with have exhausted their opportunities to change and live in supportive environments,” he said.

“These are adequate systems for most situations, but they have been unwilling to work within the support given to them” He said he really appreciates the people who foster youth in Haida Gwaii’s communities, adding that they’re

essentially volunteering because they assume so much risk to their property and a loss of their security.

“They take on some of the hardest work with some of the most vulnerable people in our community,” said Cpl. Dionne.

The Village of Masset concluded its letter by offering to meet with Crown Counsel to discuss options or services that might benefit youth in these types of situations.

There are a variety of ways northend community members can work with RCMP to quell the spike in property crime, Cpl. Dionne said.

“Don’t be shy about attending court hearings,” he said.

“It’s important that community members, whenever they can, come to the courts when they’re in session and see the process.”

Court attendance at sentencing has the added benefit of showing offenders that real people are affected by their actions, Cpl. Dionne said.

He also recommends people continue to be vigilant, locking doors and windows and reporting any crime or suspicious activity. Stolen property has been recovered in the Masset area because observant people have seen items around town, he said.

“The police can only work within the support of the population,” Cpl. Dionne said, “Ultimately, the best solutions are those that suit the community.”

‘‘

’’

City Car: Kia Soul EV & Smart ForTwo Electric Drive. Bob’s Pick: Both entries are small electric vehicles and they’re close in terms of performance, but the Kia Soul EV is my choice. It seats five (instead of two), has more cargo space and rides nicer, making it a more practical everyday car.

Price (base/as tested): $34,995/$34,995 Acceleration 0 to 100 km/hour: 10.5 seconds Braking 100 to 0 Km/hour: 43.4 metres Fuel economy (city/highway): 2.0/2.6 Le/100 km Small Car - Over $21,000: Mini Cooper, Kia Forte5 & Volkswagen Golf.

Luxury Car - Over $50,000: Acura RLX Hybrid, Cadillac ATS Coupe, Hyundai Genesis & Kia K900. Bob’s Pick: My clear winner here is the Acura RLX Hybrid, a large all-wheel drive luxury sedan that’s fun to drive, yet very easy on fuel. It uses a 3-motor hybrid powertrain with a front electric motor & twin rear motors. The drivetrain also includes a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.

V60 Polestar. Bob’s Pick: Priced well below the other two entries in this category, the new Ford Mustang GT provides excellent bang for the buck and looks awesome.

Price (base/as tested): $42,499/$51,899 Acceleration 0 to 100 km/hour: 6.2 seconds Braking 100 to 0 Km/hour: 39.5 metres Fuel economy (city/highway): 15.2/9.3 L/100 km SUV/CUV - $35,000 to $60,000: Chevrolet Tahoe, Lincoln MKC, Mercedes-Benz GLA 250 & Toyota Highlander. Bob’s Pick: Big can be beautiful, as Chevrolet Tahoe has evolved into a more drive-able vehicle that offers a supremely comfortable ride, can pull a (3863 kg) mountain and the new EcoTec 5.3 litre V8 engine provides decent fuel economy, especially on the highway.

Price (base/as tested): $57,245/$59,460 Acceleration 0 to 100 km/hour: 8.0 seconds Braking 100 to 0 Km/hour: 42.1 metres Fuel economy (city/highway): 14.9/10.1 L/100 km SUV/CUV - Over $60,000: GMC Yukon XL, Mercedes-Benz GLA AMG & Porsche Macan. Bob’s Pick: A performance utility vehicle that actually can go off-road, the Porsche Macan came with an optional (height adjustable & self levelling) air suspension. On a paved road…it’s a Porsche!
