Lax Kw’alaams position “irresponsible”

SUMMIT FIRE Feature

Kitkatla chief calls for Tsimshian unity

Heart of our city: Chris Rose Page A5

BY SHAUN THOMAS PORT EDWARD / The Northern View

The Chief of the Gitxaala Nation is calling for unity among Tsimshian nations as Lax Kw’alaams seeks title to Lelu Island.

Chief Clifford White took issue with a statement - Clifford White released by the Lax Kw’alaams Band that said it was “regrettable” that other Tsimshian communities chose “to accept agreements with PNW both prior to full scientific evaluation of the proposed facility and in conflict with Lax Kw’alaams rights and interests and those of up-river nations”.

“It is disappointing and irresponsible ... to take an adversarial position.”

Boreal in the early morning hours of Sept.

23 marked the end of the 2015 cruise season in Prince Rupert, a season that included 10 vessels carrying more than 3,600 passengers to the North Coast.

Reflecting on the year in cruise, Prince Rupert Port Authority marketing manager Brian Friesen said it was a successful one on a number of fronts.

“It was positive for a few reasons, but primarily with the number of passengers participating in shore excursions offered in Prince Rupert. Just over 70 per cent of passengers participated in a tour and I think that tour offering is one benefit Prince Rupert has,” he said, noting feedback was

“I think passengers liked the character of the town and the friendliness of the people.”

- Brian Friesen also positive from those who didn’t join a tour.

“I think passengers liked the character of the town and the friendliness of the people, and I know they liked walking around Prince Rupert and spending time in places like Cow Bay ... people had nothing but positive things to say about the nature and some of the wildlife.”

However, Friesen noted that there is work to be done around providing information to

independent visitors, those who did not take tours, regarding where to go and where they can find things in town. It is something that Friesen said will be worked on throughout the fall with an advisory group that includes the port authority, the City of Prince Rupert, Tourism Prince Rupert, the Chamber of Commerce and tour operators.

As for next year, Friesen said the focus will be on continuing to attract smaller, high-end cruise lines similar to those that called on Prince Rupert this year.

“A lot of passengers on those high-end lines are looking for unique experiences ... we feel like we have a bit of a niche there and will continue to target those lines, as well as having discussions with other lines in the Alaska cruise theatre,” he said.

“We’re looking forward to another successful year in 2016.”

Fire claims Lax Kw’alaams files title claim Summit Ave. residence

BY SHAUN THOMAS PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

A residence on Summit Avenue was completely destroyed after a fire broke out early Sunday afternoon. “Upon arrival, the one building g was fully y engulfed in flames,� explained Prince Rupert fire chief Dave McKenzie. “The one unit, including all of the personal belongings, is completely destroyed. I would - Dave McKenzie estimate the damage at more than $200,000.�

McKenzie said the fire was an “accidental fire� caused by the misuse of smoking material.

There were three children and two adults in the residence at the time, but all were able to evacuate unharmed after the smoke detector went off.

McKenzie said it took firefighters three hours to extinguish the blaze, but personnel remained on scene until 8 a.m. Monday morning to monitor for flare ups and hotspots in adjacent buildings.

McKenzie notes that this is a reminder of the importance of having properly working and tested smoke detectors in your home.

“I would estimate the damage at more than $200,000.�

LELU from Page A2 “It is disappointing and irresponsible for Lax Kw’alaams to take an adversarial position with other Tsimshian nations on the Petronas project,� he said, noting Gitxaala is part of the Tsimshian Environmental Stewardship Society. “The Tsimshian communities need to work together to ensure projects in our shared territory are properly reviewed and delivered to the highest standards, now and into the future.�

As for the project itself, White said the Gitxaala Nation is continuing to review plans for the terminal. “Our level of review for the Petronas project is no different than our review of the Northern Gateway Pipeline.

Gitxaala Environmental Monitoring (GEM) is actively involved in theCanadian Environment Assessment Agency (CEAA) process to ensure proper due diligence for this project occurs.

The potential economic benefits are second to the environmental values.

The environment has always been, and will always be, our first priority,� he said in a statement, alluding to the work the band is doing to stop the Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline. “The Gitxaala First Nation continues to lead the Tsimshian people on Northern Gateway through continued legal action against the

We have very clear views on the protection of our coastal environment and these are the same values Gitxaala carries in CEAA’s review of Petronas’ LNG terminal at Lelu Island ... We will not move to final agreement with Petronas until all potential impacts on community health, LNG plant safety and the environment are addressed to our satisfaction.�

The statement from the Gitxaala came two days after Lax Kw’alaams filed its Notice of Civil Claim in the Supreme Court of British Columbia seeking a declaration that the band holds Aboriginal title to the lands

and that the project cannot proceed without their approval. “British Columbia, Canada and the Port continue to assert jurisdiction and control over the subject lands.

In asserting jurisdiction and control and in dealing with the subject lands, British Columbia, Canada and the Port have interfered with and continue to interfere with the Allied Tribes’ Aboriginal title to the subject lands,� reads the filing, which lists the Prince Rupert Port Authority, the provincial and federal governments and Pacific NorthWest LNG as defendants. “The construction of the project would damage important fish habitat on and adjacent to Flora Bank, which would interfere with the plaintiff ’s fishing rights.�

PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

Residents had their chance to weigh in on what should be covered by environmental assessment of Aurora LNG on Wednesday night, with people packing the North Coast Convention Centre to learn more about the project.

The company, a joint venture between Nexen Energy and INPEX Gas British Columbia Ltd., is proposing to construct a liquefied natural gas export terminal on the tip of Digby Island. Plans call for the facility to process between 20 and 24 million tonnes of LNG per annum at full build out with a marine terminal capable of accommodating up to three LNG carriers. The company is planning to submit its environmental assessment application in the spring or summer of 2016, with construction beginning around 2020 and operations starting in 2024.

Aurora LNG has identified five pillars of the environmental assessment that will be studied and reported on. These include effects on the environment — which includes

impacts to air, water and terrestrial resources — on the economy, on human health, on archaeological and heritage resources and social impacts — which include effects on visual quality, infrastructure, land use, marine use and community health.

While representatives from Aurora LNG were on hand to discuss the project and field questions, residents of Dodge Cove were outside the facility to raise awareness of their concerns with the proximity of the project to their small community.

“Nexen-CNOOC’s project is to build an LNG terminal site, with road and the worker’s camp adjacent

to our watershed. It may disturb our already delicate water supply and ancient muskeg wetland, as well as separate us from our treasured Lake Wahl,” read a statement from the residents, which noted a confidential survey showed 96 per cent of Dodge Cove residents opposed the project.

“Dodge Cove residents demand the B.C. Government adhere to the world class standards of the Society of International Gas Tanker and Terminal Operators’ (SIGITTO) siting standards [and] support the minimum 2.2 mile SIGITTO Hazard Zone free from LNG facilities and carriers — a world class standard for tankers and terminals.”

Cullen: Aboriginal relations near “crisis point”

BY KEVIN CAMPBELL PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

Skeena - Bulkley Valley MP Nathan Cullen spoke scathingly of the provincial and federal governments last week, after a largely Tsimshian First Nations occupation movement had gathered on Lelu Island while ocean test drilling was in operation by Pacific NorthWest LNG (PNW).

The incumbent NDP candidate for the riding in the upcoming October federal election blasted the Conservative federal government, led by Prime Minister Stephen Harper and the B.C. Liberal provincial government, led by Premier Christy Clark, over the process of helping PNW pick a site for their LNG export terminal.

“I don’t know if it’s incompetence or ignorance, you’d have to pick one, for the federal and provincial governments to issue licenses to companies to build large resource projects right in the very places that are most important to our economy and ecology,” said Cullen while in Prince Rupert earlier in September.

“We now believe that this is coming to a bit of a crisis point. We have the occupation on the island, we have building resistance across the Northwest that is galvanizing First Nations and

it’s certainly in [PNW]’s best interest for the government to usher them to a new location and do it soon.”

The MP mentioned that it’s not just the Lax Kw’alaams who recognize the location as an ill-fitting place to build an export terminal, but First Nations from the coast to Alberta are uniting in opposition due to the importance of the wild salmon habitat that is located in the vicinity of the proposed LNG project.

“I think it has unified First Nations right from here to Alberta because everybody understands the value of wild fish,” said Cullen.

“I think [PNW] got sold a bad bill of goods. I think the B.C. and federal governments came in and pointed them in one direction. If you had to pick one place on the whole North Coast that is more perilous to wild salmon, I’m not sure you could find one.”

United Fisherman and Allied Workers’ Union (UFAWU) northern representative Joy Thorkelson also weighed in on the contentious location, stating that before the environmental assessment process began for the terminal, the union had discussed with Petronas, a parent company of PNW, that the site wouldn’t work based on the proximity to the salmon spawning region and the eelgrass environment.

“We, certainly from the commercial fishing industry, told Petronas [that] they were never going to be able to build their plant there. The opposition would go all the way from the Babine [Lake] all the way down to coastal First Nations as well as the commercial fishing industry and the sports fishing industry,” said Thorkelson.

“I think they’re going to have to change locations ... Otherwise [PNW] is facing years of court battles, they’re facing occupation of the island, they’re facing resistance up and down the line

... This is the exact opposite of what a resource company wants when it’s trying to gain the social license that it needs ...

Let’s take the main conflict point away which is about threatening wild salmon stocks and do something much better,” said Cullen, noting LNG can be done but must be done right.

“I’d be upset if I were the company, I’d think about suing the governments for all the lost time and money they’ve had to put into working on a site that was always going to be a problem.”

Open road calls for Rupert biker Chris Rose mixes custom rides with community support

BY KEVIN CAMPBELL PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

It’s not often that, for a biker, a Harley Davidson would be a step down in the speed department, but that’s just what it was for Chris Rose in 1998.

The born-and-raised Prince Rupert resident was a little more used to the smaller, speedy Japanese-manufactured bikes than the larger, slick, imposing luxury of a Harley when he made the switch.

“When I first started riding bikes, I used to ride all night long or all day long, whenever I had a chance to ride ... so I rode a lot of Japanese bikes before [buying my first Harley] like Kawasakis, Yamahas, Suzukis, Hondas – all of them street bikes, all very fast bikes,” Chris said last week.

“I [eventually] sold them and then finally when I had kids, me and my wife at the time thought getting a Harley would slow me down – just a cruiser. So I did that.”

Chris has been on two wheels almost as long as he’s been walking on two legs. From mini bikes to driving around town less than legally as a 15-year-old to now owning one of the most beautiful, unique and prestigious custom Harley Davidson motorcycles in North America, Chris has always been attracted to the two-wheeled road beasts and is now president of the Prince Rupert-based Harley Riders.

“Working at the Pulp Mill, I worked there for 16 years and I’ve always been mechanically inclined. I’ve always liked working on bikes and motors and stuff,” he said.

In his early days in town, Chris graduated from Prince Rupert Secondary School before heading to Prince George for a number of weeks every year for four years to become a certified millwright at the College of New Caledonia.

With stints in Kamloops, working at a bike shop called Interior Motorcycles, and in Vancouver, Chris always found his way back to the North Coast city.

“I always came back and found a good job,” said the Rupertite.

“It’s safer here than in the big city. I just like the good, clean air. It doesn’t take too long to get to work or home ...

I’ve just got a lot of friends here.”

In ‘98, Chris graduated from the Hondas and Kawasakis to buy his first Harley at the shop in Smithers.

“I bought it in Smithers and I rode it back. It took me about three times to get the price I was happy with for the bike I wanted,” he said.

The bike was a Harley Davidson Dyna Wide Glide.

“So it’s kind of a Chopper-style with a longer front wheel, extended forks with 21-inch wheels and a skinnier front wheel ... The Softail model was a big one back then – you can’t see the shocks in the back, it’s mounted

- Chris Rose underneath in the frame,” said Chris.

The Rupertite has had a number of bikes, all of which he’s bought himself in the past and he currently has two Harleys – a touring bike that he’s fixed up and a custom 2.5-year-old build.

The custom bike has gained him notoriety in not only northern B.C., but in the United States at the 75th annual South Dakota Sturgis Motorcycle Rally – one of the biggest bike rallies in North America, which drew 600,000 people last year.

Chris won second-place at the Rat’s Hole Custom Bike Show in Sturgis in 2014 with the bike, which was designed almost wholly by its rider.

“The headlights – the signal light has been made for this bike, I designed it ... Same with the paint job – the paint was applied in Victoria and a guy out of Vancouver did the seat – [mine] was his first or second leather seat that he’s ever hand-tooled. It’s all engraved,” he said.

“A lot of the other parts are from California that I’ve ordered in, plus I had them make the signal light and the headlight ... the brass in front is all made for the bike. I started that fad, they actually manufacture those. It’s quite popular in the custom world now” he said.

Chris rides that bike daily and it has been featured in Canadian Biker Magazine and won numerous awards in the

Northwest.

He’s even given a few riders their first go-around on a motorcycle.

“Some of them are scared and most of them just love it, they think it’s the greatest thing. They’ve never had that feeling before where you’re turning. They get scared at first, but once you get used to the leaning and turning, they think it’s magnificent and it’s a great time,” said Chris, who’s also driven his kids Stephanie and Stephen, now grown, on his bikes. Stephen had his own dirt bike and used to ride up Mt. Hays and around the Terrace track with it.

Mostly, Chris likes the open air that he’s able to feel while riding.

“You’re out in the elements, you’re in control of two wheels, you’re leaning over into the corners and the wind and bugs’ are in your teeth, it’s all fun. The scenery’s beautiful. You’re out in the middle of it, cruising around down by the river,” he said.

Chris joined the Prince Rupert Harley Riders Club 16 years ago and has since become its president.

“I slowly got into helping them out, doing whatever needed to be done for the Toy Run stuff,” he said.

The Toy Run, of course, is the Harley Riders’ signature annual event that’s been going on for 34 years. It supports the Salvation Army Christmas Hamper program through providing toys, money, gifts and food to the Salvation Army and last year raised over $10,000 for the program.

“I think there might be a little more [attendees] than last year. We’ve got six riders from Ketchikan coming down and quite a few from Terrace and Smithers and Kitimat,” said Chris.

More details on the Toy Run can be found in this week’s edition of the Northern View on page A23.

Cunningham’s rural reminder

T

his week I offer up a tip of my proverbial hat to Coun. Barry Cunningham for standing up in a room full of elected officials from across the province and clearly articulating the realities of life in northern British Columbia.

During a debate around increasing the carbon tax, an idea that was ultimately defeated by less than three per cent of the vote, Cunningham was quoted as saying: “If you live up north, everything is trucked up there ... This would add a lot to all our food and everything else that’s trucked up.”

That right there illustrates a fundamental difference between people living in the southern portion of the province and those of us who Shaun Thomas prefer the quieter life here on the North Coast — it costs more money to get anything to or from the region than those living in southern B.C. While Cunningham focused in on food and goods, which need to be trucked all the way down Highway 16 to arrive at their final destination regardless of their starting point, it is an argument that could easily be made for any number of aspects of life.

Need specialized medical treatment in a hurry? It’s not as simple as jumping in a car and driving a few hours to Vancouver or a major centre, it involves costly flights or, at minimum, a few hundred dollars in hotel bills.

And gas itself, despite not having a TransLink tax added to it, is more expensive in the Northwest than it is in the Lower Mainland.

Figure that one out...

Often times people in the more urban areas of the province take things for granted and get the attention of the provincial government much faster based simply on the number of voters that live in the region. For example, while getting affordable housing in Prince Rupert is like pulling teeth, the government just spent $550,000 to help run a shelter in Maple Ridge through the winter.

Coun. Cunningham speaking up at UBCM is a reminder that British Columbia extends north of Kamloops — the more the government and urban B.C. can be reminded of that, the better.

Letters to the editor

Port should know oil won’t go Made-in-BC biomass firm is a global player

Editor: Re: Port has nothing to hide, Sept. 16.

I would like to thank Ken Veldman, P.R. point man for the Prince Rupert Port Authority, for clarifying that a Ridley Island terminal for oil tankers is a distinct possibility.

Thanks also for pointing out that the port “has a mandate to promote and facilitate trade in a way that is environmentally sustainable, socially responsible, and economically beneficial for Canadians”.

The current First Nations occupation of Lelu Island shows just how successful the Port Authority has been in promoting that mandate with the Petronas LNG project. Do you think that they will do any better with an oil tanker facility?

When it comes to protecting wild salmon, both

our Provincial and our federal governments have let us down repeatedly. Promoting salmon-fry killing salmon farms, gutting the local fishing fleet; these were not prudent, well-thought out policies.

First Nations people know the importance of wild salmon in ensuring our continued survival.

Our governments should be mandated to protect our environment for future prosperity. Instead they gut environmental laws and allow the fossil fuel industry to “self-regulate”.

The Prince Rupert Port Authority might as well come clean and drop the “socially responsible, and environmentally sustainable” part of their mandate.

Their actions speak louder than their words.

Petronas not the way forward Editor: Re: Petronas safety audit I am against this LNG project because of the way the contract was signed by Christy Clark.

This project will increase our GHG emissions and put us way off target for the next 25 years.

This company will never have a tax increase in 25 years. This project will not lead to the number of local jobs you might think.

The full life cycle of this LNG project, from fracking to final use, is no better than the GHG emissions from a coal fired plant. We will never be able to reduce our impacts on the world’s climate as no changes are allowed without a penalty paid by Canadian taxpayers. The contract is a template for other LNG projects. There were no guarantees in

the contract that two coal fired plants will be shut down in Asia to lessen GHG emissions overall.

This project may only lead to more emissions.

A healthy ecosystem is based on the number of young sea life produced. Lelu Island is a nursery for our young sea life in many different forms.

The life of this project will pass by quickly. But the ramifications of death in our waters and in our atmosphere will affect our sea life, wildlife, our people and future generations, not only in our area but in the entire world.

Let’s get on with our future which is in renewables. By 2050 we have to be off fossil fuels and this is no way to get there.

Mary Ann Shannon Terrace

Enbridge hearings coming Editor: For some time we have been under the threat of Enbridge’s proposed Northern Gateway project with all its risks of oil pollution and destruction of marine habitat on our coast.

We have good reason to fear the world’s largest tankers travelling through Douglas Channel almost daily. The Joint Review Panel held interveners to a higher standard of proof than Northern Gateway.

Almost everyone who presented to the JRP was against this project. It was resoundingly rejected in a plebiscite by the citizens of Kitimat.

There are eighteen legal challenges that have been made by eight First Nations (on the basis of Aboriginal Rights and Title), four environmental

groups (on incomplete and erroneous assessments affecting the environment), and a labour union for, among other things, “failing to consider greenhouse gas emissions and other upstream environmental impacts associated with oil sands”.

On October 1-2 and 5-8, 2015, the legal challenges to the approval of Northern Gateway are scheduled to be heard at the Federal Court of Appeal in Vancouver. The challengers have worked hard to get ready to be heard in court, and they represent those of us who can’t be with them.

Please encourage and support them.

stablished in Quesnel, British Columbia more than 20 years ago, Pinnacle Renewable Energy Group is now the largest and longest-established wood pellet producer in Western Canada.

The company began in 1989 when Rob and Jim Swaan founded Pinnacle Feed and Pellet in Quesnel. After several years of successful operations, Pinnacle Pellet Inc. was incorporated in 1993. The company expanded by opening a second mill in the community of Williams Lake a decade later.

In 2006, the launch of the Houston Pellet Limited Partnership with Canfor and the Moricetown First Nation saw Pinnacle establish a 30% stake in a new pellet plant adjacent to Canfor’s sawmill.

Pinnacle continued expanding its business by acquiring a mill in Armstrong in 2007 and launching operations at a new mill in Meadowbank in 2008. In 2011, Pinnacle opened the $30 million Burns Lake facility, one of the largest and most technologically-advanced wood pellet plants in the world.

Today Pinnacle operates six pellet plants across the province, ranging in size from the 60,000-tonne operation in the Thompson-Okanagan community of Armstrong to the 400,000-tonne mill in Burns Lake.

Altogether, these plants have an annual production capacity of over 1.2 million tonnes, making Pinnacle responsible for more than half of Canada-wide wood pellet production.

Pinnacle’s pellet plants are located in close proximity to both the raw materials used in the production of wood pellets, and routes to European and Asian markets through access points such as the Port of Prince Rupert.

Each plant is also a significant contributor to the local economies they operate in. In Burns Lake, Pinnacle directly supports over 20 fulltime jobs at the site, more than 50 spin-off jobs in the community, and contributes to the overall health and sustainability of British Columbia’s forest sector, which employs some 55,000 people.

In December 2013, Pinnacle announced an agreement with Coast Tsimshian Resources to work toward a fibre procurement plan and the construction of new wood pellet plant in Terrace. Coast Tsimshian Resources (CTR), owned by the Lax Kw’alaams Band, is holder of the largest active tree farm licence in the area. CTR is confident a local wood pellet plant would provide a solution for low-end fibre that is currently wasted in the North Coast/Skeena area, making the best use of the forest resources under their control. The establishment of a wood pellet plant in Terrace is forecast to create nearly 200 jobs, and sets the stage for other cooperative agreements within the northwest forest industry, particularly the recently-revived Skeena Sawmills.

While still in the commissioning phase, Pinnacle’s Westview Wood Pellet Terminal is proving to be a critical link to supplying their rapidlyexpanding wood pellet business with access to overseas markets, where wood pellets are replacing fossil fuels as a primary source of power generation. To date, the terminal has shipped nearly 55,000 tonnes of wood pellets, and is slated to load the Star Athena bulk vessel next week.

The Royal Canadian Legion (Branch 27) moved from their previous location at 312 Third Ave. West to this building at 221 First Ave. West in 1950 when it was officially opened by Col. Cy Peck, V.C.

PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

In his first time attending the Union of British Columbia Municipalities conference, Prince Rupert Mayor Lee Brain was praised

by Premier Christy Clark in her keynote address to municipal leaders from around the province.

“Lee Brain has incredible vision. Charles Hays, who died aboard the Titanic in 1912, had a vision too and that was to see Prince Rupert become a port city for the world. Lee has taken that vision up, with gusto I might add, to ensure his community can achieve that vision,” she said.

“When he sees membership in the Chamber of Commerce grow by 40 per cent, he knows small business is growing and that is part of his vision.”

Clark also used her address to delegates

Prince Rupert SPCA seeking volunteers National Character Conference Hosted by Character Abbotsford

BY SHAUN THOMAS PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

The Prince Rupert SPCA is undertaking a trap-neuter-release program for feral cats in the city and is seeking volunteers to help administer the program.

The TNR program is sustained entirely by small grants and donations from the public. It costs

roughly $1,000 to spay and neuter a small colony of community cats, and there may be up to 30 colonies within the city. “To date, the branch has successfully spayed and neutered 27 cats with the help of local volunteers,� says Jamey Morris, Prince Rupert BC SPCA branch manager. “We rely heavily on the financial

support and involvement of local residents and business that truly care about the communities of cats in their neighborhoods.�

Morris is currently collecting information about additional colonies in the city that need to be fixed and is requesting that anyone who wants to be involved to contact her at the Prince Rupert SPCA shelter at 250-624-2859.

Rupert Rampage return in style Rhinos trample River Kings, 8-3

BY KEVIN CAMPBELL PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

Well, nothing like kicking off the season by crushing the defending league champions and Coy Cup silver-medallists.

Things couldn’t have gone much better for the Prince Rupert Rampage in their only exhibition game of the season, as they downed their Highway 16 rival Terrace River Kings 8-3 on Saturday night in front of a crowd of 650.

“The boys are having fun,” said Rampage head coach Roger Atchison after the game.

It’s hard not to when you’re scoring on average every eight minutes in the game.

The Rampage, who found themselves with only two wins throughout the duration of last season, look primed to blow those numbers out of the water with a new-look offence, fuelled by the addition of a few Rupertites who have returned from playing junior hockey down south and one who played Western Hockey League (WHL) hockey with the Prince George Cougars and Kelowna Rockets as well as university puck with Thompson Rivers University.

Tyler Halliday, the veteran of 136 WHL games, endeared himself to Rupert fans immediately by scoring four goals and adding one assist for five points in his first game in the red and black.

“I’ve been playing with some pretty good players, so I give them all the credit.

All my chances were because of them,” the winger humbly said Saturday.

Halliday highlighted a complete 60-minute team effort by the Rampage, by scoring a hat trick by the 14-minute mark of the second period and adding a fourth marker seven minutes into the third.

“I’ve been with [my linemates] Braydon Horcoff and Cole Atchison since August and I’ve been dryland [training] and everything like that, so I moved here in June and I wanted to contribute to the team and be a part of the community,” the Kamloops product Halliday said.

“I love playing with them. They’re hard-working guys. They like to go down low and work hard and that’s the type of

“I wanted to contribute to the team and be a part of the community” - Tyler Halliday

player I am. We seem to click pretty well together.”

Horcoff is another addition coming from junior hockey this year, as the Rupertite played his 2014-15 season with the Junior B Beaver Valley Nitehawks of the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League (KIJHL).

Cole Atchison got some games in last year with the Rampage and is in his second year with the club.

“The [new players] just add some depth.

It’s just great – four lines, that’s the big thing. We have four lines that can compete with the puck and skate and it makes it pretty nice for a coach,” said Roger.

Other new faces included forward Patrick Robert, who scored the rhinos’ second goal in the first period, Jamie Schenkeveld, who notched an assist and had a rough game, being the victim of a four-minute spearing penalty by Terrace’s captain Steve Cullis, and Tyler Ostrom, who returned from playing Junior B hockey with the Osoyoos Coyotes in the KIJHL. “Our defence kept it simple tonight.

Ostrom had a pretty solid game offensively and Jean-Luc [Fournier] was a good physical presence out there and we’ve got big-boy Jamie out there. He took a few shots tonight, but he played well ... We had a few guys step up. I thought Jordan Weir played great up front on the PK (penalty kill) and sniped a good one there,” said Roger.

Rampage general manager Ron German liked the amount of pressure that has been taken off previous Rampage scorers like Jared Meers, Kory Movold and Craig Munro.

New Prince Rupert Rampage forward Patrick Robert celebrates his goal in the first period of the Rampage’s 8-3 win over the Terrace River Kings in exhibition play last Saturday night.

“I think what it does this year, is you’re not looking for the same guy to go out and penalty kill and then have to go out and score some goals for you. That’s the biggest thing – we have a little bit of depth this year – four lines up front, anybody’s good to go at any time,” said German.

And while the team was excited they just beat the defending Central Interior Hockey League (CIHL) champs by five goals, the manager remained cautiously optimistic about their chances the next time the rhinos have a shot at the River Kings with a full lineup.

“They’re no different [from us]. They have a lot of new faces and they have a few guys that are back from junior too ... so it’s basically our old guys have got to match their old guys and new guys have got to match their new guys, so you’ll see a lot different Terrace team the next time they come I guarantee you that ... Hopefully we can compete with them when they bring their ‘A’ game,” said German.

“They definitely had some players missing tonight.”

Robert followed that up just one minute later when he scored a simlar marker, beating a sprawling Ames from in close on the right. Then, Halliday notched his first of the game again from in tight to end the first frame 3-0 Rupert.

Terrace would threaten at the start of the second with a goal from inside the blue-line from Dawson Leblond to make it 3-1 before Halliday and Terrace’s Leblond exchanged goals to end the period – Halliday on a shorthanded breakaway and Leblond five-on-five. Halliday would add another to complete the hat trick on the power-play.

With the score 5-2 to start the third, two goals in less than a minute by Ostrom and Halliday took the game out of reach at 7-2 and Weir and Cullis exchanged goals in the last five minutes of the game to finalize the score 8-3 for the Rampage.

Rampage netminder Devon Gerrits turned aside 20 of 23 shots, while Ames stopped 17 of 25 Rupert shots.

The Rampage tallied three power-play goals and the River Kings notched one of their own.

The same team made it last year as the under-17 team.

In Brief Mexican duo best Liu On his trek to the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio, Prince Rupert badminton product Adrian Liu hit a bit of a snag when he and men’s doubles partner Derrick Ng travelled to the VI Internacional Mexicano 2015 tournament in Cancun, Mexico from Sept. 9 – 13.

After receiving a first-round bye, Liu and Ng, ranked No. 48 in the world, found themselves up against Mexico’s Job Castillo and Lino Munoz, ranked 75th, in the second round.

Both teams played each other extremely tightly, but in a two-game sweep, Castillo and Munoz were able to down the Canadians in an very close match, 21-19, 21-19.

Liu’s loss follows an earlier match where Liu and Ng faced off against the very same Mexican duo on Sept. 4 in the Guatemala International Challenge 2015, where both teams made it to the second round once again, with the Mexicans besting the Canadians 23-25, 21-12, 21-17. Liu and Ng had previously defeated Umana Ruiz Mario and Ruben Castellanos of Guatemala in the first round. The duo are scheduled to play at the Babolat Bulgarian International 2015 from Sept. 30 – Oct. 3.

Over the summer, one Prince Rupert rep soccer team and one Terrace team with a lot of Rupert representation reached the provincial stage down south.

The Prince Rupert Youth Soccer Association’s (PRYSA) under-18 rep boys’ team reached B.C.’s top tourney for the second year in a row (last year they attended as under-17 players). “[Making provincials in two consecutive years] hasn’t been done for a very long time for a team from Prince Rupert,” said boys’ under-18 coach Peter Riley.

“Especially when you’re trying to build a soccer association as a whole.”

While they didn’t win at the eight-team round robin tournament, having a small bench and not many substitutions, the team learned lots from the play of Lower Mainland teams they faced such as squads from Lake Cowichan, Kelowna, Surrey and the Kootenays.

“You’re competing with teams who play from September all the way through to June in the Lower Mainland, whereas we don’t. Our season’s pretty short,” said Riley, adding that each rep team from Rupert starts up around April for a relatively short three-to-four month season because players often have other sporting commitments to school teams or minor hockey.

“[In the younger rep teams, like under-13 or under-14], I’m hoping they have high numbers this year because when you mould your team, regardless of how you do or whether you make provincials at that age group doesn’t really matter because you’re still developing them as a whole. Then, once you’ve done a year or two with them [on the rep level] and you’ve got them developed, then you’re playing at a different calibre level and then you’re definitely in a position to compete,” he said.

Members of the team that faced off in the Provincial ‘B’ Cup Tournament in Penticton from July 9 – 12 included Gary Sekhon, David Smith, Kevin Cochrane, Cole Marogna, Ekam Sekhon, Kevin Rioux, Tyler Matalone, Karan Gill, Cullen Riley, Paul Cavin, Caleb Perrie, Cody Schaeffer, Jared Carter and Zach Wilson, with Peter Riley and David Beil coaching.

For the under-15 girls’ squad from Terrace, the team held their own facing competition from across the province in Nelson from July 9 – 12. While losing to eventual champion Marpole (Vancouver) in their first game, they earned two ties and two losses playing Marpole, Pitt Meadows, Oak Bay and North Vancouver.

The Prince Rupert contingent included Alexi Armstrong, Emily Cavin, Emily Mair, Hannah Wittchen and Reagan Pomponio, while Gary Peden, Daniel Mercer, Celina Gorerro and Leanne Dejong worked with the team.

Rampage raise more than $5,300 for Frank Pyde

BY KEVIN CAMPBELL PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

Contributed / Twitter: @chssvolleyball

Tanveen Sahdra of the senior girls’ volleyball team, right, spikes the ball against the junior boys’ squad in a friendly play day to prep the teams for the upcoming season.

With the Prince Rupert Rampage beating the Terrace River Kings on the scoreboard Saturday night, they notched another win off the ice as they donated all proceeds of the exhibition game to Rampage co-founder and former coach and manager Frank Pyde and his battle with cancer.

A grand total of $5,392 was collected by the team to go towards a local health care facility of Pyde’s choosing.

“It’s nice to see the support we’ve gotten from the community – just people stopping me on the street and asking how he’s doing and wishing him well. It’s just a really cool thing to have such a big stage for showing that support. It means a lot, we know the love’s there,” said Frank’s son, Micah, who attended the game with the family, including Frank himself, who watched the first period.

Frank co-founded the team in 2008 and was not only its organizer, but its coach for four years and general manager.

“He’s put a lot of time and effort into the Rampage and he’s really appreciated that they’re showing the support back.

He was cheering it up a little bit [in the stands earlier],” said Micah.

Frank is currently undergoing chemotherapy and his spirits are high when the effects of the treatment wear off a few days after the treatment, said Micah.

“I know for a lot of the players, [the night] was huge. Most of these guys were even coached by him in minor hockey, so they’re very focused and very cognizant about Frank being here and what it was about,” said Rampage manager Ron German.

Frank was a jack of all trades in the rhinos’ early years, said Micah.

“He was the head coach, the general manager, he also did all the laundry – he did everything. He had a lot of help from Ron German and [trainer] Jules [Robinson] as well, but he was a big part of it. He’s moved on to other things now, but it was a big part of his life for a very long time,” he said.

UBCM oppose Environmental bill of rights supported carbon tax increase

BY TOM FLETCHER

VANCOUVER / Black Press

BY TOM FLETCHER VANCOUVER / Black Press

Municipal leaders have decided against asking the province to resume regular increases in B.C.’s carbon tax in the name of fighting climate change.

Delegates at the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention narrowly defeated the motion from New Westminster on Thursday, with 52.4 per cent voting no on Thursday.

The tax has been frozen at $30 per tonne of carbon dioxide emissions since 2012 – equivalent to about seven cents a litre on gasoline. The tax also o - Barry Cunningham applies to natural gas, coal and other fossil fuels.

The proposal called for increases of $5 per tonne each year for five years, followed by a review. It also urged the province to break from its policy of making the tax revenueneutral and use the extra revenue to support emission-reduction projects.

“It’s a sure-fire way to create a balance between the cost of renewables and the cost of carbon,” said Vancouver Coun. Adriane Carr, who warned this summer’s extreme drought and smoke from forest fires will be “our new future.”

But Prince Rupert Coun. Barry Cunningham cautioned a major increase in carbon tax would unfairly drive up the cost of living in northern B.C. “If you live up north, everything is trucked up there,” he said.

“This would add a lot to all our food and everything else that’s trucked up.”

Other delegates argued the carbon tax should go up by more than $5 a year and it should be expanded to target untaxed carbon emissions sources, such as methane escaping from landfills and fugitive emissions from LNG production and other industrial activity.

Mission Mayor Randy Hawes, a former B.C. Liberal MLA, said any hike in the carbon tax should continue to be dedicated to personal and corporate income tax cuts.

B.C.’s carbon tax was introduced in 2008 and attracted international interest as a potential model for reducing emissions.

A climate leadership team appointed this year by the province is to advise the government on further steps for cutting emissions.

Several demands for funding and tax policy changes did pass at UBCM. Delegates voted to urge the province to increase its corporate income tax rate by one per cent and send the extra revenue to local governments.

Some called that idea dangerous, but advocates said municipalities are too dependent on property taxes and need an extra revenue source to rebuild infrastructure.

Civic leaders also voted to urge the province to create a seismic upgrading fund by reallocating $190 million per year of the $450 million in tax it collects on property and vehicle insurance premiums.

“This would add a lot to our food.”

Over vocal objections from some representatives, local politicians have narrowly endorsed a call for an “environmental bill of rights” for B.C. at their annual convention.

Calling it “an idea whose time has come,” Richmond Coun.

Harold Steves sponsored the motion Wednesday at the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention in Vancouver. It calls for recognition of a right to “live in a healthy environment, including the right to clean air, clean water, clean food and vibrant ecosystems.”

Steves reminded delegates of a summer of smoke from forest fires and a drought that saw his Cache Creek farm run out of water. He noted the bill of rights has been supported by 36 municipalities around B.C., after a tour of local councils by the David Suzuki Foundation’s Blue Dot campaign.

The idea was quickly challenged.

“How is this resolution going to prevent forest fires and create clean air?” North Cowichan Coun. Al Siebring asked.

“It’s not.”

Williams Lake Mayor Walt Cobb dismissed the bill of rights movement

Tom Fletcher / Black Press

Delegates at the Union of British Columbia Municipalities vote on the creation of an environmental bill of rights.

as “David Suzuki propaganda” backed by urban people who don’t understand that mining and forestry provide the lumber, copper and other products that build their homes and communities.

Cobb said it already takes years of environmental review before resource extraction can be approved, “and if this passes, it will be another nail in the coffin of rural B.C.” Chilliwack Mayor Sharon Gaetz urged support for the bill of rights, arguing it would “raise our consciousness.” Victoria Mayor Lisa Helps quoted from a presentation to council by an 11-year-old boy and joined other delegates in calling

for the resolution to support future generations.

Coquitlam Coun. Terry O’Neill listed a dozen provincial laws governing clean water, air pollution, public health and food safety, calling on the convention to focus on specific measures instead of asserting rights that are actually “a demand for others to do something for you.”

Nanaimo Regional District director Julian Fell agreed, saying four of the six rights proposed to his board are actually “entitlements.”

He called for the UBCM to declare that water and air should be legally guaranteed to remain public assets.

NDP promise crown land for housing

BY TOM FLETCHER VANCOUVER / Black Press

Mines Minister Bill Bennett acknowledged the new local government auditor got off to a poor start, with the firing of the original auditor after an overly ambitious start and poor relations with municipalities.

Bennett rejected Horgan’s claim that the B.C. government ignores recommendations from its own Auditor General, and said all elected officials should learn to accept independent scrutiny of their spending and management.

Bennett said Horgan mocks Premier Christy Clark for pushing to establish a liquefied natural gas export industry, and insists the government is focused on nothing else. The $9 billion Site C dam project got underway this summer, and Horgan still has no clear position on it due to factions within the NDP, Bennett said.

A B.C. NDP government would provide provincial Crown land to communities to lower the cost of new housing, NDP leader John Horgan says.

Horgan used his address to the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention Thursday to highlight local government struggles with high urban housing prices, homelessness and treatment for mental illness.

He said the NDP would use Crown land to help communities with housing instead of selling it off to “wealthy developers” as the current government did recently with a tract of land on Burke Mountain in Port Coquitlam.

Horgan praised the work of Maple Ridge and Victoria to address growing homelessness, and the B.C. Liberal government’s support for shelters. The province announced $550,000 Thursday to help run a 40-bed shelter in Maple Ridge through the winter, after the closure of a Salvation Army-run facility was announced by the local council.

Victoria council wants to raise $50 million through a levy on Capital Regional District property taxes to build social housing for the city’s chronic homeless population, many of whom camp in city parks.

Annie Marie (Bonnie) Ostrom March 21, 1941 - September 10, 2015

n the morning of September 10th, at the age of 74, Bonnie died peacefully.

She suffered terribly the last few years and she is now free from her suffering.

Bonnie was the fourth daughter born to Hugh Wilson Crowell and Sarah May McCabe in Truro, Nova Scotia. She was married in Nova Scotia and moved to Surrey, BC with her four children in 1965. She later moved to Prince Rupert, BC in 1977 and married Ray Ostrom in 1981. Together they lived for several years in Prince Rupert until they decided to try up-country living and moved to Granisle, BC. They enjoyed their time on Babine Lake but returned to Prince Rupert in the 1990’s. They had strong ties to the fishing community and enjoyed many years at their home in Hunt’s Inlet, BC. Bonnie worked for more than 10 years at BC Ferries, a job she truly enjoyed.

Bonnie is survived by her loving husband Ray Ostrom; her children, Kelly Johnstone, Diana Bateson, Christine Urquhart & Paul Urquhart; her sisters , Myrtle Arnold, Shirley Morgan, Bertha Hanes; her six grandchildren, Amanda, Candace, Curtis, Russell, Jeremy & Sydney; five great granddaughters, Taylor, Cora, Bailey, Naomi & Adelane and many nieces, nephews and Ostrom in- laws. Bonnie was predeceased by her parents, her brother Hughie Crowell, her brothers-in-law Leonard Ostrom and Ivar Johansen and her nephew Leonard Blois.

Her daughters would like to express deep gratitude for the love, care and support Ray continually provided to Bonnie during very trying times. Her daughters would also like to thank their cousin Marianne Wick for the support she provided to both her Uncle Ray and her Auntie Bonnie. A special thank you also goes out to Pastor Jim Whaley for the regular visits he made to ensure that both Bonnie and Ray were not alone. Last, but not forgotten, a thank you to Marg Ostrom, a constant in the Ostrom Clan.

Friends and family are invited to attend a Memorial Service being held in Prince Rupert at the St. Paul’s Lutheran Church on October 10, 2015 at 4 p.m.

In lieu of flowers, the family will be grateful for donations in Bonnie’s memory to St. Paul’s Lutheran Church, Prince Rupert or a charity of your choice.

Harley Riders ready to host annual Toy Run Making Christmas merry for kids in need “We’re trying to get as many people out as we can.”

BY KEVIN CAMPBELL PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

On Saturday, Oct. 3, big, kind teddy bears – both stuffed and on motorcycles – will descend upon Prince Rupert in an annual tradition that mixes fuzzy stuffed animals and gruff bikers with large hearts.

The 2015 Prince Rupert Harley Riders Club’s 34th annual Toy Run is scheduled to motor its way through town at 1 p.m. on Saturday for its Poker Run and the club’s asking for a bit of help providing holiday cheer to those less fortunate in the area.

The Toy Run donates all admission costs (which includes a monetary cost and a new toy or non-perishable food item) to the Salvation Army Christmas Hamper program.

“We’re trying to get as many people out as we can to help us out and help the community out,” said Harley Riders’ president Chris Rose.

Beginning at the Salvation Army on Grenville Court, off of Fraser Street in downtown Prince Rupert, over

- Chris Rose 50 motorcycle riders are expected to congregate, catch up (as some of them have come from hundreds of kilometres away) and kick off the Poker Run, which sees all participants visit five locations including the Port Edward fire hall, the Seal Cove Seaplane Base and the whale statue at the waterfront to collect five cards for the game.

“The high hand wins half the pot and the low hand wins half the pot,” said Rose.

Capt. Gary Sheils of the Salvation Army will be on hand before the 1 p.m. kickoff time to wish the riders well and to thank them for their generosity.

After the five stops, the riders will head to The Hub for a dinner before making

Are local First Nations participating in the marine sampling work?

Yes, First Nations observers are observing the work.

Have you started the marine bore hole sampling?
