◆ CEO SPEAKS

YEAR-END RECITAL…

Port talks social license at AGM By Alan S. Hale The Northern View At their annual general meeting on Wednesday evening, the Prince Rupert Port Authority said that they have finally accomplished their goal of turning Prince Rupert into a major shipping hub, but with that comes a whole new set of challenges that the group is still coming to terms with. “I can tell you that 10 years ago this was really easy situation. It was really easy to get our social license because when this community was on its knees financially, the whole focus of what we were doing at the port was on creating economic activity and jobs,” said CEO Don Krusel. “People did not stop me in the street 10 years ago and ask me if we were doing things safely or doing things from an environmental perspective. They were asking me whether or not we were going to be successful creating the container terminal.” Now that the port has become as large and enormously successful as it is, says Krusel, the Port Authority are finding themselves having to balance the conflicting demands placed on the port. On one hand, the port must be able to keep developing and expanding because it is a critical part of the economy, not just in Prince Rupert but to all communities whose economic futures depend on the gateway for their goods to get to and from markets in Asia. “It’s the people in Tumbler

Ridge that are now planning to commit to more coal mines and the many people who want jobs in those mines. It’s the people in Saskatchewan that are looking to be employed in the potash industry. And it’s people in the forestry industry that are looking to capitalize on the marketplace. We as a port authority have a responsibility to facilitate that trade,” said Krusel. On the other hand, you have the residents of Prince Rupert who have to bear all the annoyances and inconveniences that a rapidly growing port entails. Rupertites have had to put up with train noise that lasts long into the night, they are losing access to parts of the waterfront and Ridley Island and there is increased truck traffic through town. One Dodge Cove resident told Krusel that living across the water from the port is so noisy it’s like living inside a thunderstorm. Krusel says that while they are trying to address issues such as the noise, other issues like access to Ridley and the waterfront may not be easily resolved. This will bring conflicts between the needs of the community and the needs of industry. But he says the Port Authority knows it can’t gain the support of the community – their social license – just by producing jobs anymore.

Spectrum City Dance gave people something to cheer about over the weekend during a two-day year-end recital at the Lester Centre of the Arts. For more on this story, see page 9

“What I will commit to you is that we will do our best to balance those conflicting demands, as part of our social license, the best we can. We are going to try to support and facilitate trade for northern British Columbia and for all of Canada to open up this gateway to international markets. But at the same time, we want to ensure that we grow those facilities responsibly, safely and sustainably,” said Krusel. There is no doubt that the port has been doing well. According to the Port Authority’s financial statements they released at Wednesday’s meeting, the net income for the organization was $7,743,698 in 2011. That’s an increase over the year before of 184 per cent. And while growth at other Canadian ports has effectively flattened out since 2007, Prince Rupert’s continues to climb yearafter-year and is now 81 per

cent larger than it was then. The port also continues breaking its own records every year. In 2011 the Port of Prince Rupert saw 19-million tonnes of goods pass through it. Krusel says that he believes that the port can expect more successive record breaking years to come. “We’ve said in the past that the Port of Prince Rupert is undergoing a transformation into a global trade gateway. I think based on what has happened in 2011 and where we are today that we can safely say that we have finally arrived at being a global gateway,” says Krusel. With all the funding for the Ridley Island Railway Corridor now lined up, Krusel says that construction on that major improvement could start as early as this fall. Krusel says that once it is complete it will be a “game changer” for operations on Ridley. See Port, page 3

◆ NEW DEVELOPMENT

Port discusses reasons for the pellet terminal location Continued from page 1 Krusel says that the Port Authority wants to make sure that the community continues to share in the port’s success. With that in mind, they have allocated $500,000 to be spent on community investment just in 2012. Over the past three years, the port has given out $1-million worth of community investment grants which have recently helped pay for the Marine Rescue’s new rescue boat, the Lester Centre’s new stage

and Port Edward’s Skate Park and more. The elephant in the room though was the controversial Pinnacle Pellet Terminal being proposed for Westview Terminal along the city’s waterfront. During Krusel’s talk about the port’s social license, the issue was not specifically brought up. But it was when he opened up the floor to questions. Most people who asked about it wanted it moved to Watson Island, but Krusel said

that despite the fact that the project will have seven silos instead of the originally proposed four, the operation is still not large enough to make the enormous set-up costs required to have a terminal on Ridley Island. “The only place where it commercially make sense for the pellet facility to go is at Westview. If it can’t be done there, then it can’t really be done anywhere else in the port. So the window for that commodity

and industry would be closed on the North Coast,” says Krusel. He also encouraged all of the concerned people to get involved in the Environmental Assessment process if they weren’t already. And said that if the assessment finds that the project can’t adequately mitigate expected issues like dust and noise, then it won’t go forward.

◆ RENTAL MARKET

Week of June 20

Rupert has highest vacancy rate By Shaun Thomas The Northern View The Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation released the vacancy rates for spring 2012, and Prince Rupert has the highest in the province among communities over 10,000 people. The vacancy rate for apartments in Prince Rupert in April was 13.5 per cent, the highest in the province and one of only three communities with double-digit vacancy along with Quesnel at 12.2 per cent and Williams Lake at 10.7 per cent. The apartment vacancy rate is down from last April when the vacancy rate sat at 14.4 per cent. Of note, while bachelor, one bedroom and two bedroom apartments all had a vacancy rate in the doubledigits, the vacancy rate for apartments with at least three bedrooms was just 4.6 per cent. The provincial average for communities over 10,000 population is 3.4 per cent. With the vacancy rate going down slightly, the average rent went up compared to last year. The average rent in Prince Rupert last April was $599, while this year that number increased to $624.

Prince Rupert also had the third biggest increase in average rent at 3.5 per cent, behind Fort St. John and Dawson Creek. The provincial average for renting an apartment is $929. When townhouses are considered into the rental equation, Prince Rupert still had the highest vacancy rate in the province at 12 per cent, ahead of Quesnel at 10.5 per cent vacancy. The vacancy rate in 2012 is down slightly from the 12.7 per cent last April. The average rent rose from $604 last April to $627 this year, the third highest jump in the province again at 3.3 per cent. In contrast, with Call townhouses being considered, Terrace has a vacancy rate of 3.2 per cent, below the provincial average of G STIN I L 3.4 per cent, and rent NEW is slightly higher at $645.

◆ $100,000 DONATION

Major overhaul of Charles Hays field set for this summer By Martina Perry The Northern View In the near future, Prince Rupert soccer players will sustain a lot fewer injuries while using the track located at Charles Hays Secondary School, after the Prince Rupert Port Authority announced the first recipient of their 2012 Community Investment Fund on Thursday. The port, along with the City of Prince Rupert, School District 52 and the Prince Rupert Youth Soccer Association will all be contributing funds to upgrade the track with brand new turf. “We are very grateful to Prince Rupert Youth Soccer Association, the City of Prince Rupert and the Port Authority for their assistance in funding this important project. The completion of this field replacement, together with the building envelope project that is underway, will result in a wonderful learning environment for the secondary students of Prince Rupert,” said School District 52 board chair Tina Last.

The artificial grass currently on the CHSS track has been there since the field was created nearly 20 years ago. The old grass will be replaced with state-of-the-art turf at an overall cost of about $600,000. Both the port and soccer association have pitched in $100,000 towards the project, with the school district and City splitting the rest of the cost. PRYSA executives have been working towards repairing and improving all the existing soccer fields in Prince Rupert for some time, but until now have been limited due to a lack of funds. “The Charles Hays turf has been worn down to the point that its texture is closer to sandpaper than grass when you fall on it. They’re in such dire need of repair our out-of-town teams don’t want to play on our current surfaces,” said PRYSA President Mike Cavin. “To have a project that benefits the community like this come to fruition is a wonderful thing, because our recreational fields have all exceeded their optimum

life spans.” School District 52 Superintendent Lynn Hauptman echoed similar thoughts. “The life expectancy of an artificial turf is about 15 years, and this field is almost 20 years old. It’s served us extremely well, but it is now times to be replaced.” Since the creation Martina Perry photo of the Community School District 52 board Improvement Fund three chair Tina Last, Prince years ago, the Prince Rupert Mayor Jack MusRupert Port Authority sallem, PRYSA President has contributed over Mike Cavan and President a million dollars to a and CEO of the Prince number of projects, with Rupert Port Authority Don this year’s fund amount Krusel stand amongst a growing to $500,000. large group of young Prince “As the port grows Rupert soccer players at and becomes more Thursday’s announcement. prosperous, so will the community,” said Don Krusel, over the summer President and CEO of the Prince months so it will Rupert Port Authority. be ready to be used The field will be replaced in September.

◆ EDUCATION

PRMS given a medium-risk seismic rating By Martina Perry The Northern View The Ministry of Education will not be providing funds to replace Prince Rupert Middle School based on its seismic rating on the school. The provincial government announced that there would be revised seismic ratings on schools and earlier this year a team of engineers re-evaluated the threat of earthquakes to more than 500 schools in British Columbia. The team determined that of the 500, 152 were at high risk and will need structural upgrades to ensure that they are safe. The remaining amount were classified at medium, like PRMS, and low risk, meaning that they can be made safe without any structural upgrades. The team consisted of engineers from UBC’s department of civil engineering,

OPINION

MY VIEW…

Not a fan of a gate on Wantage... A couple of weeks ago I wrote about the garbage dumping on Wantage Road needing to stop and, at the time, said I didn’t like the idea of a gate going up. I also said my understanding was the City couldn’t put a gate up as the road was owned by others - clearly I was wrong on that one. But over the past few council meetings the City has been actively looking at gating Wantage Road as a way to resolve the garbage dumping issue. While I’m glad that council is actively looking at this issue, and glad they are taking 60days to consult with user groups instead of just throwing a gate up there, I am still not a big fan of the gating idea. When I first came to town six-years ago one of the first things I did was to take the ol’ Jeep up Mount Hays, and I was blown away by the view and the easy access to an alpine environment. When my parents came out to visit, I took them up there and since then I’ve taken my brother and his family up the mountain as well. It’s not everywhere that you can easily make your way up a mountain or take seniors or others who may not be in the best physical condition up a mountain. It’s even fewer places that the top of the mountain gives you a view out over the ocean on one side and majestic coast mountains on the other side. The road up to Mount Hays is a great asset to the community, and I would hate to have it lost to the whole community because of the actions of a few. Putting a gate up on the road is essentially punishing the

entire community for those who dump on the road, which isn’t right. The best way to do this would be to find a way to punish those who do the dumping, whether it be identifying them through video or other means, and fining them to maximum allowable. With staff resources and 60 days, I’m

sure a better solution can be found, perhaps one that exists in another community with a similar problem. Over the next 60 days I hope everyone, whether you agree with this viewpoint or not, let the City know your thoughts on the matter. ~ Shaun Thomas

Being everything to everybody through partnerships No matter what the question might be, in tourism the answer is always partnerships. When we work together our effectiveness doesn’t just double or triple - it multiplies at a startling rate. Tourism Prince Rupert couldn’t function without a spider web of partnerships that stretches through the community and out beyond the borders of the province. In the many ways in which Prince Rupert is marketed as part of a visit to British Columbia or the north, we work with provincial and even national agencies. The things we do to specifically market Prince Rupert, such as our Visitor Guide and other marketing materials, are a collective effort of our members – the Visitor Centre at the Museum of Northern BC, Economic Development, the Chamber, and a host of other local agencies and businesses. In fact, Tourism Prince Rupert is itself a broad partnership between local tourism businesses and the City of Prince Rupert. There are almost as many opinions about how we should invest our resources as there

are tourism stakeholders are interested in online Talking tourism members in the community. Some marketing and attracting travel business owners think that writers, while others still push for we aren’t doing enough traditional print advertising. to promote ourselves as a Of course we need to do many “destination;” others think of these things, but even with that we’ve mastered that much larger budgets we couldn’t and should focus on specific accomplish everything at once. tourism sectors.

writer, and work with local businesses and organizations to have that writer experience as much of Prince Rupert during their visit as possible. A good example of the partnerships working together was a piece that appeared last week in the influential and widely read San Francisco Chronicle travel section. The same writer, Chris Gray Faust, had already written more than one post about Prince Rupert on her own popular blog, ChrisAroundTheWorld.com, and on USAToday.com. And travel writers are a single example of many marketing techniques we use. It’s really all about recognizing the community’s challenges and opportunities, and each individual stakeholder then investing where they can see the potential to improve their own business. Keeping the lines of communication open, and working together at every opportunity, we avoid duplication of effort, stretch our dollars farther, and make the tourism industry pay higher and higher returns with each passing year.

◆ COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE

City council decides to put time limit on public questions the two or three people who usually stay to watch the whole meetings leaves, and the regular council begins often two hours after it would have usually. This is when council actually makes decisions on issues, and it doesn’t end until everything on the agenda is dealt with, which can sometimes take three hours. By the time it’s all over, it is often late at night and everyone is so tired they probably lost interest in what was happening an hour ago. “I don’t know about anybody else, but once it gets past 9:30 or 10 p.m., my brain is mush. I try to keep it from being that way, but when you’ve listened, and listened, and you’re trying to pay attention eventually it’s very hard to do. And my worry with that is it can lead to making rushed decisions because we want to get out of here,” said Councillor Anna Ashley. But for now at least, the Committee of the Whole Meetings are staying as they are; which is to say that they will start at seven p.m. on the fourth Monday of the month before the regular council meeting.

By Alan S. Hale The Northern View If you have ever watched one of the City’s Committee of the Whole meetings, or even gone to ask the councillors a question about any City issue you want (which is what the meetings are for), then you are probably familiar with how they typically go. They happen once a month before the regular council meetings begin. Sometimes one or two people show up to bring an issue to the council’s attention, some times a dozen do – often with their supporters in tow. When people get up to ask their question of council, everyone is different. They can take as little as a couple minutes to clear up an issue, or they regularly can turn into prolonged pontifications where the resident, instead of asking a question, gives a half hour speech about an issue they are upset about But people who do this are usually the same two or three individuals. Then after everyone who wants to has had their say the Committee of the Whole meeting ends, almost everyone except for

But one thing will be changed. Now a presenters time will be limited to five to 10 minutes unless the council decides to give them more. “I know it’s unpopular to be a stricter chairman, your worship, I’ve had to do that myself on many an occasion. People don’t like to be cut off, but we should get an 10-minute egg-timer so people can see their time is running out,” said Councillor Joy Thorkelson. At their meeting last Monday, council considered a couple of different step-ups for the Committee of the Whole, but none made it through a vote. The one most seriously considered as an alternative was to move the meeting to a different day entirely from the regular council meeting, to the third Monday of the month. That way the meeting could take as long as required, but no one would have to stay to 10:30 p.m. at night afterwards. However, the big problem with this idea was that it wouldn’t just be the council and public that would have to show up, a meeting would also require many city

staffers to come too, prepare information for it and do reports on issues raised from it. It was the increased work burden to city staff as well as the extra cost of having them come in on an extra evening that prevented this option from passing when it came to a vote. Another solution considered was to move the Committee of the Whole meeting to start when the regular council meeting finished. But councillors felt this might discourage too many people from coming out and participating if they had to wait through a whole meeting until 10 p.m. before being able to speak. “People should be able to come before us at a reasonable time, which is seven p.m. A reasonable time is not at 10 at night. I agree that it is difficult for us at 10 at night to be on top of our game, but I think we decided to run as city councillors and that was part of risk we take took, to have meetings that go past 10 p.m. or to 11 p.m.,” said Thorkelson. So for now at least, the council will see if setting time limits on presentations will make a difference.

◆ CAPSIZED BOAT

Alberta family saved by fishermen off of Prince Rupert By Alan S. Hale The Northern View A family of four was rescued by fisherman after their pleasure craft capsized in the waters off of Prince Rupert last week. The Albertan family managed to get out one distress call after the 24-foot fibreglass boat they were aboard

began taking on water around 2:20 p.m. on June 12. When local fisherman came to their rescue, the family was found clinging to their capsized craft. The family’s father has gone on to criticize the reaction speed of the Canadian Coast Guard, which arrived after they had been rescued. The Coast Guard has responded saying that the distress call hadn’t gone off properly

making it very hard for them to pinpoint the family’s exact location. According to the Joint Rescue Coordination Centre in Victoria, they were able to find the boaters only because the word Celestial was heard in the mayday, leading them to Celestial Reef. Those on the boat were taken to hospital, though no injuries were reported.

Paul’s Picture Framing

Some councillors wondered if the busses the City is using are too large as they are often mostly empty, and perhaps should be switched for smaller ones that would save the City on fuel expenses. Dupris said that while they may be empty at some times of the day, they are packed at other times. Many people in Prince Rupert depend on the busses to get to work and because of the school bus system, Prince Rupert’s students rely on it to get to and from school. Doing so may keep the busses fuller all day, but more busses would be required to deal with the rush hours which would negate any savings on fuel. Councillor Joy Thorkelson told Dupris that many residents would like to have the busses run later into the evening to nine or even 11 p.m. She also said that there is a desire for the busses to run on Sundays, especially before and after church, that workers on Ridley Island would also like a bus that could get them to work, and that perhaps the bus schedule could be tweaked so that busses that go to the fish plants could arrive as the shifts begin and end. Councillor Anna Ashley suggested that the bus system should include a stop at the recycling depot to make it easier for people to get their recyclables there. Dupris says that the city can basically have anything it wants, and BC Transit will work out what it will cost, but adding new routes and service times will cost the city more money.

◆ SPECTRUM CITY DANCE

“The Pandora Box” entertains, year-end dance recital The Northern View Spectrum City Dance held two year-end recital performances over the weekend, which included a number of different dance routines from throughout the year, as well as a short feature presentation story, “The Pandora Box”. During both performances, senior dance students Jillian LeBlanc and Madeline Peacock acted as MC’s, as part of Spectrum’s tradition that each year graduating dancers MC the year-end recitals while wearing their prom dresses. Saturday’s performance started off with “Doop” choreographed by Spectrum teacher Carol Murphy.

Following peoples and their contribution c o n s u l t a t i o n s , Aboriginal groups, the federal government selected June 21st. The date was chosen because the summer solstice holds special significance for many Aboriginal groups who already celebrate their cultures and heritage on that day. On June 13 of the following year, just eight days before it is to be celebrated, Governor General Romeo LeBlanc declared June 21 as National Aboriginal Day across the country.

◆ DERELICT PROPERTY

Another house to be torn down derelict home soon, so council has decided to push the issue. The current owners of the property will have two weeks to respond before the City can take matters into its own hands and pull down the house. To do so is expected to cost the City $15,000, they would then send the bill to the property’s current owners. If they can’t pay it, then the City can seize the property and sell it in order to recoup the money. The property without the house is assessed to be worth $27,700, but isn’t considered to be very developable. That, and the fact that the City has had mixed results when trying to sell similar properties for the same reason, means that it is hard to predict if it can be sold successfully.

By Alan S. Hale The Northern View City council has decided that another derelict building in Prince Rupert needs to be torn down, this time it’s a house located at 301 9th Avenue West. The house’s owners both recently passed away and the property has been up for sale as part of settling their estate. But the City’s building inspector says that the building is absolutely dire shape structurally. He also believes that it would be a very expensive job to repair the house and bring it up to “an acceptable standard”. According to city staff, there is one person considering buying the property, but there are no solid plans for either repairing or demolishing the

Public Notice NOTICE OF INTENT TO PASS WHISTLE CESSATION RESOLUTION

The City of Prince Rupert announces its intention to pass a resolution implementing train whistling cessation at two (2) railway/road crossings. One is at the Highway 16 railway/road crossing located at mile 92.70 of the Skeena Subdivision and also the BC Ferries railway/road crossing located at mile 92.96 of the Skeena Subdivision. Train whistling requirements are controlled through the Canadian Rail Operating Rules (CROR). Rule 14(L)(ii) requires train whistling for all public crossings “except as may be prescribed in special instructions”. The relevant railway company can initiate an exception by issuing a special instruction engineers, which then eliminates the application to its locomotive of Rule 14(L)(ii). Transport Canada sets out the guidelines that must be followed in order for a special instruction to be issued. As part of the process the municipality and the railway company must conduct a detailed safety assessment of the railway/road crossing. Maher Terminals, the Prince Rupert Port Authority, and the City of Prince Rupert jointly commissioned the required study. The consultant’s report reviewed all aspects of railway safety regarding the two subject crossings and the report was then shared with Transport Canada, CN, and the two road authorities who are the BC Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure and BC Ferries. Depending on the character of the railway/road crossing, Transport Canada may require safety measures such as flashing lights, bells, gates and signs. CN and the Prince Rupert Port Authority have committed the required resources to upgrade the subject crossings so that they can support the cessation of train whistling. While the City of Prince Rupert is announcing its intention to pass a resolution as part of the process as outlined by Transport Canada, ultimately, the City does not have jurisdiction over the two subject railway/road crossings. If you have any questions or comments regarding the above matter and wish to have them considered in the review process you must submit your comments in writing to the address below no later than July 13, 2012.

Medical equipment donated By Shaun Thomas The Northern View Diagnosing neurological issues at the Prince Rupert Regional Hospital will be a easier going forward thanks to a donation from the North Coast Health Improvement Society. “This new equipment conducts nerve tests, diagnoses carpel tunnel syndrome, locates pinched nerves in the neck and back by testing the nerves to see where it may be pinched and

differentiates a pinched nerve from tendonitis,” explained neurologist Dr. Alister Prout, adding that the old machine was so old new parts could no longer be located. The new machine, which is a laptop and testing equipment, cost $16,000. Money for the machine came from the North Coast Health Improvement Society, a volunteer group dedicated to raising money for new medical equipment at the Prince Rupert Regional Hospital.
