GwaiiTel to build new tower on Mt. Hays By Alan S. Hale The Northern View

Haida Gwaii-based telecommunications company, GwaiiTel, is planning to build a new broadcasting tower on Mount Hays with assistance from Prince Rupert’s CityWest. The new 30-metre tower will be replacing the existing towers already on Mount Hays, with the broadcasting equipment being moved over to the newer and taller tower. Once that
is done the existing towers will be torn down. The main purpose of building the new broadcasting tower on the mountain is to increase Internet capacity over the radio link to Masset on Haida Gwaii, thereby improving the often dismal connection speeds that plague Internet users on the islands. “These days Internet means any number of applications like Internet phone or television that are only really available to people with enough bandwidth.,”
explained GwaiiTel’s administrator, Paul Daniell. “The main problem with Internet on Haida Gwaii is capacity. Telus isn’t able to provide it and they’re the only people with that capacity. So consequently we are going to build this radio link.” The small local Internet provider has accused the telecom giant, Telus, of unfair competition in the past.

GwaiiTel builds link after Telus conflict Continued from page 1 A long-standing complaint against Telus is that it didn’t follow through with a promise to carry GwaiiTel service on their network with a capacity of 100 megabits a second when the telecom giant built its own radio link to Haida Gwaii in 2006. After they were locked into a fiveyear contract with Telus, GwaiiTel says that the most capacity they were given was 30 megabits a second until 2009 when the capacity was bumped up to 40 megabits. On top of that, last year the Provincial Government and Telus finalized a 10-
year deal and the telecom giant turned back GwaiiTel’s grievances. The small company pushed for a radio link upgrade, but Telus insisted on finding a more cost effective option. After months of saying they were studying their options it was announced that Telus had built the upgrade at their own expense and kept all the additional bandwidth for their own needs. Now free of their five-year contract with Telus, GwaiiTel appears to be building their own new ◆ 11 radio link to get the capacity they’ve wanted all along, with help from CityWest.

“Right now a lot of people are experiencing connections that are chocking due to lack of capacity. So we’re hoping to provide that capacity so they can do what they like without all the slowdown,” said Daniell. On top of providing improving Haida Gwaii’s Internet service, the new tower will also be providing radio support for the Ministry of Forrest’s forest fire response team.
NEW BUSINESSES
City says port driving new retail business By Shaun Thomas The Northern View
The City of Prince Rupert is pointing to the opening of 11 new businesses in the last 18-months as a sign of the impact of port growth on the community. Since the start of 2011, 11 new businesses have opened their doors while Shopper’s Drug Mart has moved into a new larger location in the Rupert Square Mall. Among these new businesses are: - Rupert Meats in Cow Bay - Intertek on Fraser Street - Express News and Tobacconists in the Rupert Square Mall - Prince Rupert Mini-storage on Saskatoon Avenue - Theaann’s Greek Palace in the Pacific Inn - Dollarama in the Rupert Square Mall - The Chad Smoke Shop on 2nd Avenue West - Soup Daddy’s on 4th Street - Paws & Claws Thrift Store on 3rd Avenue West - Fresh Onion Cafe & Catering in the Ocean Centre Mall - 3C Clothing on 3rd Avenue West “Many people have stated, they are enjoying the additional shopping opportunities that have come to our City, and a number of residents have found new jobs,” said Prince Rupert mayor Jack Mussallem. Along with the new businesses that have opened their doors, Wal-Mart will be opening at the Rupert Square Mall this fall and A&W has confirmed its intentions to locate in the city, with a possible location in the upper parking lot of the Rupert Square Mall.

◆ MINISTER CONCERNED
Northwest BC unemployment rate jumps 4.2% in a year By Shaun Thomas The Northern View Northwest BC has the highest unemployment rate in the province, according to stats released on August 10 by the Ministry of Jobs, Tourism and Innovation, and it is the only region in BC in double digits. The unemployment rate for the North Coast and Nechako region, which covers just west of Vanderhoof to Haida Gwaii, was 11.9 per cent this July. That number was down slightly from the 12.2 per cent in June but is the third highest rate this year. When compared to last July’s 7.7 per cent unemployment figure, the number is up 4.2 per cent. For the first six months of 2012 the average unemployment rate in the region was 11.9 per cent compared to 8.2 per cent for the first six months of 2011.
In terms of the number of people employed, that figure has fallen from 44,300 last July to 38,400, a loss of 5,900 employed people in the northwest, while 500 jobs were lost from June to July. So far this year the number of people employed in the region is down 7.9 per cent while provincially the figure has risen 1.9 per cent. “We will have our team take a much closer look at the North Coast and Nechako region to see where this is occurring and how we can address it...We know that the loss of jobs is not actually the case with what is happening in Kitimat and with the port activity in Prince Rupert. I was in Terrace recently and didn’t see this as the case,” said minister Pat Bell, noting that the size of the region makes it difficult to pinpoint where the job loss and high unemployment is occurring. “It is a cause for concern, particularly given the level of economic activity that is taking place in the region.” The next highest unemployment rate is in the Cariboo,
which has an unemployment rate of 8.1 per cent, followed by the Kootenay region at 6.8 per cent. The lowest unemployment rate in the province was in the northeast, with an unemployment rate of 4.3 per cent,. The provincial number is at 6.9 per cent, which is down from last July’s 7.3 per cent figure.

In the chair is Jacob Daniele, and behind him from left are Wayne Lundman, Francis Wolfe and Mike Kaardal from the Prince Rupert Lions Club and Jennifer Nelson and Judy Rea from the Prince Rupert Regional Hospital.
A two-year-old boy and the Prince Rupert Lion’s Club just bought the hospital two new chairs for cancer patients to use while undergoing chemotherapy at the hospital. The chairs are essentially reclining chairs like you have in your living room but designed for medical use, and are worth about $1,600 a piece. Having comfy chairs in the cancer treatment room at the hospital is important since a chemotherapy session can last for up to seven hours and there are about 14 people a week that go there for treatment. The cancer treatment room does have a nice recliner and couch in there already but according to the staff, these needed to be replace because they
pose a contamination hazard that the new chairs do not. For his second birthday Jacob asked guests to bring a donation for the hospital instead. From his birthday party, he raised $700 that was put towards buying the new chairs. The rest was put up by the Lion’s Club.

◆ BUSINESS
Haida Corporation buys small fish processing company By Alan S. Hale The Northern View A corporation formed by the Haida Nation bought a small family-owned fish processing business in Masset last week, with the intention to have the business compliment its fishing lodge businesses. The Haida Enterprise Corporation (or HaiCo) bought Seapak Processing from its current owners, Debbie and Ray Stephens, who have run it in Masset since 1995 and currently employ 11 people. HaiCo wouldn’t say how much the business had been bought for because the Stephens’ wanted to keep it private. Seapak is a small operation that focuses mainly on custom processing for the catches of sports fisherman who come to Haida Gwaii during the fishing season, but they also purchase commercially caught seafood and sell it in a
adjacent grocery store. HaiCo’s hope is that the company can be “synergized” with their fishing lodge businesses by making it the dedicated processer of the catches their customers get while staying at the lodges. “HaiCo also owns a fishing resort called West Coast Resorts. Today we have two operations on the west coast of Haida Gwaii, so we’d like to process some of our customer’s catch there. Just as [West Coast Fishing Club] is doing some custom processing and smoking for their customers, we’d like to do the same thing for ours,” said HaiCo’s CEO, Kevin Ainsworth. An expansion of Seapak’s operations would mean some new seasonal jobs in Masset. While all of the 11 existing employees are being kept on, Ainsworth says once the
changes get under way they may need to hire enough people for a second shift. But nothing is going to change at Seapak right away. The building still needs some moderate remodeling to meet HaiCo’s aspirations for the company, so the decision is whether they should spend this winter or next winter doing them. For the next year or two we would change nothing. The business is successful now and we Kevin Ainsworth just want to maintain the same level of service and quality,” said Ainsworth. “It’s going to take a modest amount of capital investment. We’re going to have to extend the building slightly and add some freezer capacity and industrial smoking capacity. But it’s one thing at a time, we don’t want to disrupt the current operation.”
“...It’s one thing at a time, we don’t want to disrupt the current operation.”
◆ ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION
City hosting two workshops on grant writing process By Martina Perry The Northern View The Prince Rupert Economic Development Corporation (or PREDC) will be offering two free workshops to provide non-profit groups with information on the annual Community Enhancement Grant. The duo of workshops will provide partakers with all the generals of the grant process, while providing tips and suggestions on the writing aspect of the application and giving people a venue for any questions they may have about the grant program.
◆ SIGHTING
“There are quite a few people that rely on grant writing throughout the year to fund various non-profits, so I think anytime you have a chance to increase your skills and ability in any field it’s worth while to do that, especially when it’s a free service being offered,” said Derek Baker, Economic Development Officer for the City of Prince Rupert. The interactive workshop sessions will be taking place at City Hall in Council Chambers on Friday, August 24 and again a week later on Friday, August 31, with both sessions taking place from two to three p.m. But didn’t the City of Prince Rupert say they weren’t going to be accepting any new grant applications for 2013 back in April? Not
Man safe after night on Shames
only did council say that they weren’t going to be accepting new Community Enhancement Grant submissions, they also decided that they wouldn’t be increasing the amount of any of the requests, with many grant application amounts being cut in size. According to Baker, the workshops will provide skills for any grant application that comes up. “The idea essentially was to use the Community Enhancement Grant to do some basic grant writing best practice training. So the value for people attending would be more than the Community Enhancement Grant, it would be for all grant writing. We’re using the Community Enhancement Grant as a scenario to learn these basic grant writing techniques,”
explained Baker. “Grants are very transferable, so it’s more along the lines of using this as a means to teach best practices in grant writing.” Baker admits that this could potentially mean more applications to the City for the Community Enhancement Grant, but it could
also mean many applications that have been on the fringe of being funded could potentially become better applications for the City to consider. Anyone interested in attending the workshop is asked to confirm their interest to Blair Mirau at 250627-0913 no later than August 23 and August 30.

Around noon, someone called police to report a male, who appeared to be confused, walking along Shames Mountain Road half dressed and without any shoes before disappearing into the forest, said police. The RCMP police dog unit and Terrace Ground Search and Rescue began searching and a helicopter was sent out to the area, said police. Shortly before four p.m., police dog Toma and his handler Cpl.

OPINION
MY VIEW…
Job stats raise question of priorities Looking at the latest employment figures from the province, it’s clear to see why there is somewhat of a debate surrounding energy projects in the region. Projects such as the Enbridge Northern Gateway project and, to a much much lesser extent, the Pinnacle Pellet terminal have things about them that people don’t like. In the case of the pellet terminal these include health concerns and visual quality impacts, while the list of concerns around the Enbridge project are plentiful and have been covered in great detail before. But on the opposite end of these concerns is something that the northwest as a whole needs - and that is more jobs. There’s no way to look positively at double-digit unemployment numbers or the loss of 5,900 jobs from last July to this July. To put that in perspective, the population of Smithers in the 2011 census was 5,400 - so that’s just over one job lost for every resident of that community. And while the Minister may note that there is plenty of activity in Kitimat with the Alcan Modernization Project and in Prince Rupert with the port-related activity, the fact is that when the northwest as a whole isn’t doing so great on the job front it impacts both of those communities. When people are unemployed, the chances they’re going to take a short trip to visit another community lessens, and the chances they’ll be leaving the region to look for work elsewhere increases. This affects our hotels and restaurant sector (which shed 2,300
jobs across the province last month) and the service sector. So the trade off goes back to economy versus environment. It’s a back and forth battle in which those on one side are never really going to change the perspective of those on the other side. Welcoming these industries into the
community strengthens the economy while also impacting the environment around us. It’s up to the individual to decide what is most important to them, and whichever side you’re on be prepared to defend it. ~ Shaun Thomas
Will China provide tourism opportunities for Prince Rupert The question sometimes arises about the potential for Chinese tourism to Prince Rupert. I don’t think that this is a realistic short-term goal. Well-known industry analysts Chemistry Consulting touched on Chinese tourism during a presentation I attended last year. According to the UN’s World Tourism Organization, “China has shown by far the fastest growth with regard to expenditure on international tourism in the last decade.” There was an 85 per cent increase in Chinese overseas travel 2005-2010, and the 2010 number will almost double by 2020. Canada finally received Approved Destination Status (ADS) in June 2010. Even without ADS Canada saw a 66 per cent increase during that same 2005-2010 period, and BC saw a 42 per cent increase. However, during that period the proportion of total Chinese outbound tourists coming to Canada declined from .38 per cent to .34 per cent meaning that Canada is losing market share to other countries. And in the percentage of total Chinese visitors coming to Canada, BC
declined from 71 per cent to 61 per As an aside to this discussion, Talking tourism cent in 2005-2010. I question this move. I don’t So while the Chinese market personally believe that it is offers a massive opportunity, necessarily wise to boost our Canada has a lot of work to do. efforts in China at the expense We have work to do in expanding of proven markets. In the face our air capacity and direct flights, of economic crises, airline and in building relationships with border security issues, and so on, BRUCE WISHART tour operators, and especially in our vital American, European, effective marketing. And from our and other markets are dwindling perspective, BC also has to work to regain and we need to step up our efforts in those market share lost to the rest of Canada. markets. The BC government has dropped Now consider the nature of the Chinese its investment in tourism by 42 per cent market as it stands today. It is essentially since absorbing Tourism BC, so the decision a mass tourism market – “Canada and to pour resources into a new market at the America in 13 days,” “Canada in 12 days,” expense of proven markets seems more and so on. Iconic attractions feature high on political than anything else. these itineraries. Vancouver, Whistler, even Still, if one wished to build a new market, Butchart Gardens benefit from large groups this is the right approach. Only the province moving through on brief visits. Increasing has the budget to create awareness of BC in this traffic will of course bring tremendous China. Once that awareness begins to build, benefits to British Columbia, and the the large cities, and eventually even smaller provincial government has announced its communities such as Prince Rupert, can intention to dramatically step up Chinese begin to find unique opportunities and use marketing activity. limited resources to wisely capitalize on
those opportunities. Yet where will Prince Rupert’s opportunities lie in the case of the Chinese market? Clearly mass tourism is not our opportunity (nor is it likely to be an opportunity for any part of the province outside the Golden Triangle). Our wilderness destination offers unique Northwest Coast cultures, sport fishing and wildlife watching. If there were a large awareness of BC in China, and a large desire to visit, we might be able to develop a very lucrative business in high-end, independent travelers wishing to experience these things. Yet there are intimidating “what-ifs” involved in this. To jump into an untested market that at this point offers no foreseeable benefit to rural British Columbia, and build the amount of visitation that would allow us develop this high-end niche market, seems a pretty long shot. I do think that we need to grab whatever opportunity exists in the Chinese market, but Prince Rupert’s very limited resources must be devoted to rebuilding our proven markets.

This week’s question:
City needs to look close at its costs Editor: Thanks to “the View” for publishing information comparing administration costs in cities of comparable size to Prince Rupert! The high cost of administration in Prince Rupert is outrageous in comparison and what has been accomplished? The mayor, city administrator
and council should study the Terrace administration and follow that guide to decreasing our staff! Our taxes are also the highest. A word to the mayor and council, don’t even think of raising our taxes for any reason! It is a sad commentary on the financial management of the City when we have already spent any monies if the mill sells!
Council needs to look at money saving big issues. 1. Administration costs 2. Fire hall costs 3. Airport ferry costs 4. RCMP costs Most of these costs are so high there is no money to do any of the infrastructure improvements; the very job administrators are paid to do. There is no money to do any of

◆ FRINGE THEATRE
War of Wits
A look at Udderfest 2012
Written by the contestants
Local actors, writers and directors put their talents on display from August 8-12 for the 14th annual Udder Theatre
Festival, hosted by the Harbour Theatre Society. This year’s event featured eight plays that were performed at either the Tom Rooney Playhouse or the Lester Centre of the Arts, and included everything 1740 Prince Rupert Blvd, Prince Rupert, BC from comedy to improv to drama to a 250 624-2859 performance from the kids in the kid’s camp. Over the next two pages, the Prince Rupert Northern View will take a look at all of the performances. All write-ups were done by Martina Perry, and all photos with the exception of Juvenile Eyes.
Inspired by CBC Radio’s “The Debaters”, War of Wits pits two teams of contestants against one another to verbally battle it out, debating local issues. This year’s teams were Huddlestone, consisting of Stephen Huddlestone, Katherine Campbell and Rob Shearer and Hondo, consisting of Hondo Arendt, Andy Enns and George T. Baker. Hosted by Chris Armstrong, with Lyle McNish acting as the timekeeper, the contestants debated a number of issues, including the proposed
PRINCE RUPERT BCSPCA
pellet terminal, Prince Rupert’s lack of a daily newspaper, backyard chickens, a bridge to Digby Island, and more.
Zenbridge Written and directed by Rudy Kelly After a Zenbridge oil tanker is found floating near the shore, a strange epidemic sweeps through Prince Rupert that is turning citizens into what appears to be zombies. Doctor Kent (Angelica Jesser) and Nurse Gary (Dan Bubas) have locked themselves up, and are looking for some sort of cure for the epidemic, when Pedal (Hayley Zimmerman), a pothead in-law of Nurse Gary’s appears, totally clueless to the fact that the community is full of zombies. With local actors Paula Loroff, Chelsea Jesser, Jasper Nolos, John Farrell and Clark Spence making several appearances as a variety of characters, this hilarious performance showed how the media provided coverage of the epidemic and how citizens reacted to the monsters (Zombies played by Cliff Doupe and Celena Cochrane-Olson). With special cameos by Lee Brain and Joe Gaber, this uproarious comedy pokes fun at local issues, while incorporating Kelly’s infamous dirty-minded sense of humour. But what will the community do when it turns out Zenbridge had nothing to do with the epidemic; backyard chickens caused it all.

◆ ON THE STAGE
Lester Centre and Tom Rooney house 14th annual Udderfest
I’d Like to Buy a Vowel Written by Rob Shearer, directed by Cliff Doupe, Lyle McNish and Graeme McNish.
Juvenile Eyes Written and directed by Stephen Huddlestone
Playground Revenge Written by the kids participating and directed by Treena Decker
Siblings Sadie (Chelsea Jesser) and Ian (Jasper Nolos) run the Morning Cup coffee shop under the ownership of their father, and Sadie makes it known that she’s in charge of the business aspect of the shop. Ian, who is a barista at the Morning Cup, takes his frustrations with the family quarrel out on customers, particularly a passive and quiet girl named Dot (Jenna Cann), as well as two teenage friends Hayley (Paula Loroff) and Tiana (Angelica Jesser). Hayley is too consumed with the idea of planning her revenge on her fellow classmates that bully her to pay any extra attention to Ian’s behavior, with the eccentric Tiana offering clever advice on how to ignore them. The play quickly turns from a comedy to a drama when Dot reaches her wits’ end and decides to take control of the situation by pulling a gun on Ian.
26-year old Will (Chrystopher Thompson) is struggling with adult life after experiencing a traumatic childhood, getting laid off from the mill, and finding out that he will soon be evicted from his trashy apartment. Will says that the only bright spot in his life is his 17year old girlfriend Susan (Tristen Wybou), however her father Tom (Andy Enns) is finding it extremely difficult to get over Will’s troubled past, with Susan’s mother Gertrude (Martina Perry) attempting to convince her husband to leave the couple alone. When the unexpected news of pregnancy arises, Susan decides that it’s time Will met her parents. Over a family dinner, Will and Tom finally meet face to face, with a dramatic turn of events when Susan announces that the pair have gotten engaged.
For the past nine years, the Harbour Theatre Youth Program has been running as part of Udderfest. This program runs for six weeks, and helps children write a basic storyline for a play and perform it live, while teaching the kids improv skills. Each year there are two adults, who are really just big kids at heart, helping run the program. This year’s Kid Camp production was a classic tale of good vs. evil hosted by a chicken (Nivan Sharma). Superhero Cowptain Crench (Kid’s Camp assistant James Sheremetta) and his Crenchberries helpers must fight against the evil Madame Snicknastee (Kid’s Camp chair/coordinator Treena Decker) and the Snickerdoodles. The two sides prepare for the big battle for the rights to the playground, but in the end they decide to all be winners and join together.
Rupert Tonight
Stab in the Dark
Toast N’ Jam
Directed by Rob Shearer, and written by all actors Prince Rupert’s favorite variety show returned for its fourth incarnation, with actors Katherine Campbell, Andy Enns, Kris Scott, Rob Shearer, Don Price and special guest Lyle McNish keeping audiences laughing. Rupert Tonight included a number of sketches poking fun at the community, including Rupert-based yoga poses, and the think tank that lead to the creation of Udderfest 14 years ago. According to that portion of the performance, the name Udderfest came from Joe Gaber’s admiration of a certain female body part. There were also several skits that pointed out those “isn’t that funny?” life moments, though most of them were just incredibly unfortunate. The show also included a hilarious musical portion, where popular songs were rewritten to advertise the beauty that is Tim Hortons.
Written and directed by David Smook After an officer (Jewel Jerstad) is murdered at the Prince Rupert police station and Eugene (David Smook) and Manny (Chris Armstrong) must join forces to solve the crime despite their hatred for each other. Both detectives blame one another for the sudden disappearance of their shared lover Felicia (Leah Jowe), but must put their difference aside as one murder quickly turns into more. In this side-splitting comedy that ties local issues and people in with laughs, the unlikely pair must follow clues that lead them through a number of suspects including a drunken reporter, a foreign janitor (both played by Rich Jerstad), and the police station’s chief officer and amorous secretary (both played by Leah Jowe), who all oddly have “Phil” in their names.
Written by Rob Shearer and directed by Lyle McNish The mild-mannered Betty (Leisl Kaberry) decided that she would let her true feelings for her roommate Bill (Lyle McNish) be known over breakfast. Betty prepares a lovely meal for two that ends up being crashed by the pair’s other party-animal roommate, Jolie (Lesley MacAllister). Jolie wakes up with a wicked hangover, and is curious as to why Betty has only set up two places at the table. After some back and forth, Jolie discovers why Betty has done this and lets Bill know. After Bill denies Betty’s first attempt at picking him up, Betty and Jolie turn on each other with Jolie bashing Betty’s lack of a love life. Bill, in turn, ends the argument by agreeing to go on a date with Betty, but unbeknownst to him it was all part of the ladies’ plan. Toast ‘N Jam was Kitimat’s On Cue Players first entry into Udderfest.

A Statement from Enbridge
The Facts On Pipelines Enbridge operates the largest and most complex liquids pipeline system in the world. We’re proud of what we do—helping to provide reliable energy to many millions of people across North America every single day. Over the last decade alone, we’ve transported nearly 12 billion barrels of crude oil with a safe delivery record better than 99.999 per cent. That’s good but, for us, it’s not good enough. Any incident tells us that we must do even better. We will never stop striving for 100 per cent. Operating a complex pipeline system is by its nature a challenging business. This is not new. Enbridge employees have successfully met these challenges for over 60 years—by placing safety at the heart of our operations. We constantly strive to do better. Particularly when it comes to the integrity and viability of our pipelines—which is, and must always be, our number one concern. Pipeline safety has been much in the news lately, and so it’s important to give the issue some context— to look beyond the latest headline and recognize the outstanding long-term safety record of this important energy delivery system. In fact, decades of experience have shown that pipelines are by far the safest, most efficient method of transporting large volumes of oil. Historically, pipelines have had the least amount of releases of any mode of oil transportation. As a result of strenuous efforts within our industry, releases have actually decreased over the past decade—both in terms of the number of releases and the amount of product released. Our goal at Enbridge is—and will continue to be—the prevention of all spills. In 2011 alone we invested about $400 million to ensure the safety and integrity of our system, and that amount is set to increase substantially—to more than $800 million—in 2012. Over the past two years we have doubled the number of staff dedicated to leak detection and pipeline control systems, and substantially strengthened our focus on the tools, technologies and strategies to ensure the fitness of our pipelines. This is not new, but rather part of an ongoing effort to be the best in the business. In the past decade we’ve invested more than $3 billion in safety, integrity and new technology—and we’re planning more investment going forward. We continually evaluate the condition of our pipeline system to ensure long-term reliability and integrity. Enbridge is a Canadian success story, with a hard-earned reputation as a responsible corporate citizen. In a rapidly changing world we will continue to build on that foundation by continuing to adhere to a strong set of core values that reflect what is truly important to us as a company: the safe transportation of energy that millions of people rely on in their daily lives.

◆ LIGHTNING STRIKE
Over 7,800 hit by power outage By Shaun Thomas The Northern View People in Prince Rupert and the north coast may have missed their alarm on August 8 after a power outage in the early morning hours. According to BC Hydro spokesperson Bob Gammer power went out to 7,844 customers on the north coast, including Prince Rupert, Port Edward and communities as far away as Oona River and
Kitkatla, between 2:09 a.m. and 2:17 a.m. “What happened was lightning hit the transmission line between Terrace and Prince Rupert and it knocked out power to everyone in the Prince Rupert area...It certainly is an unusual incident,” he explained. “We have reclosure equipment to get the power going again. In Terrace it started immediately, but on the Prince Rupert end we had to restart it remotely.”

Sundin takes the title in Prince Rupert’s Junior Jubilee It is a most enjoyable experience to watch the youth participating at any activity that adults feel is worthwhile. When they are competing with a sense of fair play and sportsmanship, the awards are immeasurable. We enjoyed all the benefits of watching youth compete at sports on Saturday and Sunday. The Centennial Golf Course hosted the Annual Junior Jubilee this past weekend, enjoying the company of visiting junior boys from Terrace, Kitimat and Smithers. A putt that wouldn’t drop kept Prince Rupert Junior member Stenn Sundin from shooting an even par round, but could not stop him from taking the title as Junior
In the Rough MOE HAYS Jubilee Champion for 2012. The outstanding athlete, who excels at hockey and golf and is
the recipient of the 2012 Larry Gordon Memorial Scholarship for combining academics with his sports achievements, shot rounds of 72 and 71 over the pleasant weekend. Smithers Junior Nathan Cachia took second place and was awarded Championship Flight gross, joined by his brother Jacob, who took gross honours in the First Flight, followed by J.J. McMunn of Prince Rupert. Cody Bailey from the Skeena Valley Golf Club in Terrace captured the Overall Low Net title, while Championship Flight net was awarded to Mitch Turko of Smithers. Dallis Kerbrat from Hirsch Creek in Kitimat is the First Flight net winner. Bailey is the son of former
Prince Rupert resident Alan Bailey. Congratulations to the boys, mainly playing their first year of golf, who participated in their own division playing nine holes each day. Keenan Marogna along with brother, Cole, of Prince Rupert and Calvin Turko (Smithers) finished at the top of the group. The Annual P u t t i n g Competition featured an elimination round in the two divisions. Cole Marogna represented the nine hole players, taking on Jacob Cachia from the senior group, with
Marogna taking the title with three pars in the final. Pam Hays was Chairman of the event, with thanks to Tim Hortons and Canada Safeway for supplying treats and to the Marogna and Rabel families, as well as Glenn Reece for their assistance.

you. Tea & Bazaar Raffle: I will be getting our Raffle Ticket License by the end of this week. I hope. The prizes are awesome this year, the bird house handcrafted and donated by J. C. is made from beached worm wood and cedar, it’s really quite something. Thank you Jim. Any members who would consider selling tickets for us at the Mall would be greatly appreciated, especially now that the mall is a little busier! Parking Wars: It seems the City is going to help us out in the parking department by providing something like 14 marked parking spots for our members out front. Hopefully this will alleviate some of our parking problems, for now.
