PRINCE RUPERT - Prince Rupert City Council is considering a bylaw change that would allow some residents to keep chickens on their property for the purpose of harvesting fresh eggs. The initiative is the brainchild of Samantha Lewis, a secondyear science student at NWCC. Lewis – who grew up on a farm and has plenty of experience raising chickens – says that allowing Rupertites to keep up to four chickens per household makes for a more environmentally-friendly and sustainable Prince Rupert, which she argues lines up well with the city’s Quality of Life Official Community Plan which explicitly lists creating “a

truly sustainable community” as one of its goals. “I’m here to propose a relatively simple way for Prince Rupert to become a greener and more sustainable city: by allowing backyard hens,” Lewis told council at their meeting on Monday. “Some of the most obvious benefits of keeping backyard chickens are that it promotes food security, sustainable farming practices and it also helps reduce the carbon footprint of the city. They’re effective composters, they’re also educational and provide free organic fertilizer, pesticides and herbicides. They also fight factory farm abuse; for every chicken you own, that’s one less chicken that needs to spend its life in dark factory farms.”

The urban farming movement is nothing new. Many communities have been trying out the idea in BC, Canada and the United States. The City of Vancouver now allows backyard chickens and Smithers’ city council is considering the issue as well. Lewis came to the council meeting well-prepared. Her presentation not only contained a proposed bylaw complete with a licensing scheme and zoning restrictions and a petition of support with over 300 signatures, she also tried to address many of the common concerns raised about urban chickens when the idea has been brought up in other communities. Under her system, Prince Rupert’s prohibition against the raising of livestock inside City limits

would be amended to exclude laying hens. Roosters, which are the cause of the most noise by chickens, would continue to be prohibited. A single-family or duplex residence would be allowed to keep up to four backyard hens once a license is obtained from the City. To maintain that license, chicken owners must adhere to a number of conditions: The hens must be completely fenced into the yard or side yard where they are being kept and their coop must be at least three metres away from anybody’s windows. They must be kept in a proper chicken coop complete with a floor, perches, a roof and nesting boxes. The chickens must be locked in their coop overnight to protect them from predators.

Kitsumakalum and Kitselas closing in on deal By Staff Reporter THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

TERRACE - The Kitsumkalum and the Kitselas are about to take a crucial step toward negotiating land claims treaties with the federal and provincial governments. Negotiators for all parties are close to initialing agreements in principle setting out general terms covering land, cash and self government powers taking in everything from resource development to taxation. Once signed off by negotiators, the agreements will still need to be approved by Kitselas and Kitsumkalum members and by the federal and provincial governments and only then will become the basis to negotiating final treaty details. The Tsimshian First Nations of Kitselas and Kitsumkalum, with a combined population of more than 1,500 people, lay claim to thousands of hectares of land surrounding Terrace and Thornhill. Their treaty efforts date back to the early 1990s with a statement

of intent to negotiate submitted in late 1995. Actual negotiations began in late 1997. Although the Kitsumkalum and Kitselas will have separate treaties, the vast majority of their content will be the same, says Gerald Wesley, the chief negotiator for the Tsimshian First Nations Treaty Society, an umbrella group taking in the Kitsumkalum and Kitselas. “I can tell you they will be two distinctly similar agreements,” he said. The two treaties will be the first in the northwest to be negotiated under the auspices of the BC Treaty Commission which acts as an impartial referee. The Nisga’a Final Agreement of 2000 was negotiated outside of the treaty commission. While optimistic of an imminent initialing of agreements in principle, Wesley hesitated to give an actual date, saying there remained a few details to finalize. He did acknowledge that he and another negotiator, Mel Bevan from the Kitselas First Nation, met with provincial aboriginal rela-

tions minister Mary Polak two weekends ago at an event celebrating the signing of an agreement in principle for the K’omoks First Nation on Vancouver Island. “We’re very, very close,” Wesley added. If Wesley was reluctant to provide a date, Kitsumkalum and Kitselas treaty negotiations employees are gearing up for a busy summer, preparing pamphlets and other information for the run up to a ratification vote by the two First Nations. A statement posted on the BC Treaty Commission website speaks of a “vote this year on a comprehensive agreement in principle.” Polak is also expecting an initialling of the Kitsumkalum and Kitselas agreements in principle very soon. “We’re getting to the point where there could very well be a handshake,” she said last week. Polak was also hopeful the two agreements in principle will continue what has been a faster pace toward treaty settlements. Since the conclusion of the Tsawassen

final agreement in 2009, the first one for the treaty commission, three final agreements have either been completed or about to be completed and one agreement in principle, the K’omoks, has been completed. Once initialed, the two agreements must be ratified by the provincial cabinet as well as the federal cabinet to ensure the provisions conform to directions given the government negotiators, said Polak. Although the Kitsumkalum and Kitselas have lacked formal treaties, both have been making substantial steps toward developing economic foundations for self sufficiency. Both, for example, have forestry revenue sharing agreements with the provincial government and both have economic development corporations. The Kitselas and the City of Terrace also have a commercial arrangement in place tied to the expected development of the Skeena Industrial Park just south of the airport and BC Hydro has negotiated business deals with both

Rupert lays out poultry rules PRINCE RUPERT If the backyard chicken bylaw is approved by council, chickens can’t be kept in cages and must be given enough open ground outside the coop so they can walk around, scratch and dust-bathe which are essential behaviours for chickens, according to poultry raising suggestions being pondered by city council. The chickens are to be kept specifically for personal use of their eggs, residents will not be allowed to sell the eggs, manure or meat from the chickens, and they will certainly not be allowed to slaughter their chickens on their property, but instead be required to take them to the vet to be euthanized when the time comes. This would essentially render them inedible anyway -- nesting hens are notoriously tough to eat as meat to begin with, If someone with

chickens is violating these rules, then they can be reported to the City and a bylaw officer would be sent over

to inspect problem. If someone is convicted of violating the City of Prince Rupert’s bylaw, the suggestion

is a fine system increasing every day until the problem is fixed, up to a dollar value maximum of $2,000.

Property sales up, but home sales and selling price down in Rupert By Shaun Thomas THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - The BC Northern Real Estate Board released their first quarter results on Wednesday, and while the number of properties sold in Prince Rupert in 2012 is up from 2011 the number and sale price of houses sold is down. There were 28 properties worth $4.2 million sold in the first quarter of 2012 compared to 21 properties worth $4.3 million sold in the first quarter of 2011. However, there were 21 single family homes sold in the first three months compared to 25 in the first quarter of 2011 and 28 in the first quarter of 2010. The average selling price has also dropped in the past three years, falling from an average of $207,893 in 2010 to $171,909 in 2011 and to $168,907 in 2012. Aside from the houses, there were three parcels of land sold and two apartment units sold as well. The number of

properties still available on the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) is down slightly from 240 at the end of March, 2011, to 231 this year. In comparison to other northwest com-

munities, there were 60 properties sold in the first three months of 2012 compared to 43 last year, and Kitimat saw the number of properties sold more than doubled from 37 last year to 78

Pelican ﬁnds its way to the wildlife shelter flying fish By Shaun Thomas

THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - The North Coast got a bit of a peculiar visitor this week, with a pelican being spotted around the docks in Port Edward. The presence of the pelican was unexpected and, after a few days in Port Ed, was taken to the Prince Rupert Wildlife Shelter and the care of Nancy and Gunther Golinia. “It had a few bangs on his head, which could have come from other birds or a boat or people, and one wing was hurt but that didn’t inhibit his ability to fly. It also had some feather lice, which we took care of right away,” said Nancy, noting that the pelican was to be flown down to Vancouver aboard Hawkair on Monday. “We’ve had a lot of different animals in here, but we’ve never had a pelican and probably won’t have another one.”

The pelican is just one of many animals being cared for by the Golinias at the shelter - including a snow owl, seven saw whet owls, a red tail hawk, a goshawk, ducks and countless cats. The Golinias have been caring for animals for the past 23 years, with the help of volunteers, and it is a costly endeavour. “We haven’t seen a pension cheque in years...We just put it all into the shelter,” said Nancy, noting that there is still a lot of work to do. “There is enough work out here to keep a dozen people busy.” Currently the shelter is in need of a number of things, including more gravel for the pens, more pens for the animals and enough food of all kinds to feed them all. People who want to help can make a donation at City Hall, with cheques made out to “City of Prince Rupert Wildlife Shelter Donation”. Also, anyone looking to adopt

Premier announces Gateway money By Tom Fletcher THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

VICTORIA - Premier Christy Clark visited a North Vancouver bulk shipping terminal Monday to announce $700 million in new highway upgrades to develop B.C.’s Pacific Gateway program. The announcement, made at Neptune Terminals, included funds that have already been committed to projects like the Prince Rupert Rail and Utility Corridor. However, much of the premier’s event focused on private sector investments in the Asia-Pacific Gateway. Teck Resources CEO Don Lindsay also took part in the event, reviewing the mining company’s $1 bil-

lion investment over the last two years to expand production of metallurgical coal, copper and zinc. Jock Findlayson of the Business Council of B.C. said the province’s exports to China grew by 27 per cent in 2011 alone, and shipments of coal, minerals and forest products to Asia are expected to double by 2020. NDP transportation critic Harry Baines dismissed the announcement as the latest media event staged by Clark to promote her jobs plan. “There are no specific details where this money is going to go,” Bains said of the provincial contribution. “It’s more about a photo op than getting their hands dirty to have a real job plan for British Columbians.” Bains said $700 million over five years is $140 million a year.

The pair displayed photos of their husbands — Jim Cole and Harry Ferns — both of whom they have lost to cancer. After the daffodils are all gone people can still pick up their daffodil pins throughout the entire month. Those ‘badges of courage’ are encouraged to be worn on April 27, which is National Daffodil Day.

City of Prince Rupert releases 2012 draft budget By Alan S. Hale THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - In keeping with their goal of encouraging more public engagement, the City of Prince Rupert gave a lengthy but very detailed run-down of their 2012 budget. In past years, the public wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have seen a draft of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s budget this early in the process. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to remember that this is the rough draft of the budget as drawn-up by city staff with little-to-no involvement from the council, the numbers and allocations are far from set in stone. At the moment, the budget is projecting a deficit of $456,000. The Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s revenues outside of property taxes are going to be about $1-million less than they were in 2011 because last year the City received a number of one-time grant payments that they wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be receiving again this year. Those grants allowed the City to have a surplus in 2011 of around $622,000 which makes up for much of this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shortfall, but not all of it. The Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s expenses are expected to be $24,404,000 for 2012 which is about a 0.2 per cent increase in spending from last year. One of the reasons why the Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spending has increased is price changes. Collective agreements with public service workers mean that wage costs will increase by about 4.3 per cent and benefit costs by five per cent. The Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s energy bills are expected to be 5 per cent higher than

last year, and overall inflation has increased the prices for almost everything by one per cent. The Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two major service contracts with the RCMP and bus service through BC Transit are expected to increase by 3.7 and 3.6 per cent respectively. The City has little control over these costs unless itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s willing to scale back services levels. The cost of running the Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s airport ferry service is expected to increase by 17.2 per cent from last year. The reason for such a large increase aside from additional wage, benefits and fuel costs is that the ferryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s yearly maintenance and refit costs are being listed under the serviceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s budget and not under the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s capital purchases. So while the increase seems very large, the City would have spent that money anyway. Revenues from passenger and vehicle fees are expected to decrease by about three per cent, staff believes this because there will be less vehicles going to and from the airport after construction on improvements there is finished. At the end of the day, the City will have to make up the difference between the ferry serviceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s revenues and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s expenses which is expected to be $791,000. With no major events on the horizon, the City has made a conservative estimate that the Civic Centre will take in revenues of $189,000 this year. The civic centreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s total expenses are expected to increase by 8.5 per cent to $1,526,000.

The biggest reason for the increase over last year is that the City had tried to save money last year by not replacing a retired senior worker, it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work out well as expected and now the City is expecting to hire a replacement. City staff are also keeping their estimates of the swimming poolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s revenue conservative, and are expecting that the pool will take in $367,000 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; one per cent less than what it actually made in 2011. Wage increases and maintenance costs at the pool are expected to increase the cost of running the pool by about 3.7 per cent. The Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s subsidy to the pool is expected to be $770,000 for 2012. The cost of running the arena is expected to be four per cent less than last year due in large part that last year the city had to spend $18,000 to fix the zamboni after it broke down. Barring the unforeseen, the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s subsidy for the arena is expected to be $158,000. The cost of Prince Rupertâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bus system is going up due mostly to contract increase, and there is little the City can do about it unless they want to scale the bus service back. The serviceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s expenses are expected to increase from last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s by 15 per cent ($99,891) and bus revenues are only expected to increase by 0.6 per cent. Staff is expecting that the City will have to pay a $405,000 subsidy to keep the busses running in 2012. The bus system is about to undergo a review by BC Transit this year, but it

isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expected to affect these costs. While the City is still hoping to sell Watson Island, there still needs to be a budget in place if the situation doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t change this year. The revenues that Watson Island brings in for the City are expected to increase by 15 per cent from last year while expenses are expected to fall eight per cent, this is due largely to the fact that the City had to pay $88,000 last year to fix a broken water line to the Island. City council and their executive assistant are expected to cost Prince Rupert $267,000 in 2012; 7 per cent more than what they actually cost last year, but this estimate is $7,000 less than what they were expected to cost last year. Reason they spent less than expected last year was that a staffer retired and wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t replaced for three to four months, thus saving the City money.

The Civic Building budget includes the cost of janitors, telephones, electricity and maintenance for the City Hall building and maintenance for other buildings and is expected to be $322,000, an increase of 40 per cent from what they spent last year. For the past several years, the city has tried to save money by deferring maintenance projects to 2012, last year they underspent their budget by $96,000. This year staff is planning to address a long list of needed improvements to City Hall and other buildings. The cost of Prince Rupertâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 911 emergency service is expected to increase by five per cent this year. Fees charged to LAN-line phone users in Prince Rupert are expected to cover about have the total cost, but the City is still expecting the service to cost $241,000. The Prince Rupert

Fire Department is expected to cost the City a total of $2,187,000, a 2 per cent increase over what it cost last year due to price changes in things like wages, ben-

efits, supplies, and energy. The Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Engineering Department is expected to see itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s expenditures jump by 28.5 per cent this year.

Northwest businessman Glen Saunders, far right, is the recipient of a BC Community Achievement Award for his work on beautifying Prince Rupert through vibrant painting projects.

Saunders wins provincial award for Rupert painting project By Shaun Thomas THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - The man who spearheaded a major project last year to beautify Prince Rupert has been recognized by the province for his efforts. Glen Saunders, who launched Paint Prince Rupert with the help of local businesses, is one of the recipients of the BC Community Achievement Awards. Saunders, along with a number of community volunteers, brought

fresh paint and vibrant colours to many of the older buildings in downtown Prince Rupert, helping to spruce up the look of the community and instill a sense of civic pride in all those involved. “Business leader Glen Saunders has consistently stepped forward to initiate and support projects that enhance his community and encourage civic pride,” read a release from the provincial government. “Glen’s strength is his enthusiasm for the future of Prince Ru-

pert,” the release from the provincial government continued. Saunders, along with the other winners, will receive their certificate and medallion, designed by renowned Haida artist Robert Davidson, at a formal event in Victoria this month. Saunders has retail business interests in Prince Rupert and in Terrace, including the Cow Bay Gift Galley and the Skeena Landing commercial complex adjacent to the Hwy 16 and Hwy 37 fourway stop in Terrace.

Hockey player takes rookie honours By Cameron Orr THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

KITIMAT - Kitimatborn Skylar Pacheco has a bright future of hockey ahead of him, taking the title of Rookie of the Year in the Prince George Spruce Kings hockey team. The award caps off a season that saw him play in 52 regular season games and four playoff games. Over the regular season he got one goal and had 15 assists for 16 points. He had one assist in the four playoff games. Naturally Pacheco is thrilled with the recognition of the award. “It’s a really big honour,” he told the Sentinel. “[The] coaching staff has been really good to me, giving me a lot of opportunity to play. It’s been a really great year.” At a 60 game season, Pacheco missed eight of those with a high-ankle sprain. “In one of the games someone fell on me awkwardly,” he said. He has since recovered fully from the in-

jury, after being off for about a month. Pacheco, in grade 12, was playing in a Junior B team, the Creston Thundercats last year, and was a student in the Pursuit of Excellence hockey camp in Kelowna the year prior. His three-year plan is to get into the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). His success on the ice comes down to using his head more than his physical strength. “I just have to be smart with the puck,” he said, adding he’s not the biggest or strongest guy on the team. He is one of many of the outsiders on the team. Only two players on the team are from Prince George, many others from Vancouver, Ontario, Alaska and California. Spruce Kings General Manager Mike Hawes said that the skill Pacheco brought to the ice was a welcome surprise, who wowed them beyond their expectations for his first year. “He had a great season for us. It was defi-

ter player than we even thought he was,” said Hawes.

He said he looks forward to Pacheco’s play over the next few years.

To get Rookie of the Year, he said they look at the athlete’s entire skill

set, from their attitude to dedication to their ability on the ice.

Prince Rupert skaters ﬁnish season with a gala By Martina Perry THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - Now that spring has arrived and the winter sports seasons is coming to an end, the Prince Rupert Skating Club finished off the skating season with its annual Ice Gala held on March 31, with this year’s theme being Artist Medleys. The first group to perform on the ice that evening was the Canskate Group 1, consisting of Alexis Arsenault, Ethan Adams, Justin Nanan, Amelia Adams, Emily Zipser and Charumati Rajendram. The six adorable little skaters did a routine to Justin Beiber and Selena Gomez music. Next up was soloist Jessica Slocombe, who gave it her all during her showing. The Junior Test Line group, made up of Mikayla Larose, Kennedy Ferguson, Emily Mair, Mickaela Ward and Amy McNabb, skated next. The ladies were dressed up in punk attire including ties and pink and blue hairstreaks, while skating to Avril Lavigne music.

ice. The Canskate Group 4 consisting of young skaters Landon Armstrong, Teagan Lemon-Shearing,

Cameron Smyth Dendys, Zoe McCoy, Bryce Dixon, Joshua Thompson, Madelyn Olsen, Rowan AnamCara and Riley Melis was next to

perform, skating to a medley of Elvis Presley songs. Soloist Danica Ferguson was up next, showing off her graceful skating, while proving how flexible she is with moves such as lifting one leg above her head while twirling. The Junior Star/Enriched group brought some 70’s dance moves into their routine, while also including timeless skating moves. Graduating skater Jennifer Woodcock presented her solo routine next, performing to Kelly Clarkson’s “What Doesn’t Kill You”, with Junior Line skater Emily Mair performing her solo directly afterward. The adorable Pre-Canskate group made up of Tyson Bomben, Kaitlyn Davies, Joseph Helin, Mason Horne, Kendra Hughes, Holly Lowe, Gianna Reece, Taya Shepert, Olivia Taylor, Kyra Palfy, Brooklyn Helen, Kaia Bubas, Gavin Helin, and Peter Joubert, then took the ice. Soloist Amy McNabb was up next, and was followed by a Special Feature made up of Jennifer Woodcock, Mikayla Larose, Danica Ferguson, Mickaela Ward, Kaila Beaudry and Brianna Hagen.
