◆ “MISINFORMED” KING OF THE MOUNTAIN…

Port refutes US security concerns By Shaun Thomas The Northern View In its report on US-bound cargo coming through Canada

the Federal Maritime Commission (FMC) hinted that Prince Rupert may not be a secure port for use, and now the Prince Rupert Port Authority is disputing that claim. In the report, the FMC noted that there are “58 operational Container Security Initiative (CSI) ports that pre-screen more than 86 per cent of United States destined containerized cargo; Vancouver, Montreal and Halifax are CSI ports, Prince Rupert is not”. The port authority says that any suggestion that Canadian ports are less secure than those in the US is “misinformed”. “We strongly reject the study’s subtle suggestions that security at Prince Rupert’s gateway is anything less than worldclass,” said Prince Rupert Port Authority president and CEO Don Krusel. According to the port authority Prince Rupert is not part of the US-led Container Security Initiative that was launched in 2001 because it wasn’t constructed until 2007 and was built with best-in-class security measures from day one. Fairview was the first facility in North America to scan the unique radioactive signature of every container to confirm its contents immediately upon discharge, while Canada Border Service Agents conduct random and selective screening and use x-rays at the dock as well as destuffing at Quickload to ensure container security. As for the rest of the report, Krusel said it was good to see the commission agreed there was no wrongdoing in the operation of Canadian ports. “The study is correct in concluding that carriers shipping cargo through Canadian and Mexican ports violate no U.S. law, treaty, agreement, or FMC regulation,” said Krusel.

HIV+ do NOT know. HIV is a real concern within our communities. You can contract HIV primarily through unprotected sex and by sharing needles. HIV can live in your body for years without you knowing and all the while you can be passing it to others. At least 25 per cent of people who are HIV+ do not know and these 25 per cent are estimated to be responsible for 75 per cent of new infections. Northern Health, in collaboration with its community partners, is working with the Province of BC to prevent the spread of HIV by expanding HIV testing, treatment, and support services to British Columbians.

Northern Expedition makes emergency stop in Kitimat By Shaun Thomas

The Northern Expedition is seen at the end of Douglas Channel on Wednesday afternoon after unloading a crew member who suffered a medical emergency.

The Northern View A medical emergency on board the Northern Expedition delayed the ship by approximately four hours due to an unexpected stop in Kitimat on Wednesday afternoon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The ship was diverted to Kitimat to drop the person off. The person involved was a crew member and a doctor on board determined that it was a life threatening condition,â&#x20AC;? explained BC Ferries spokesperson Deborah Marhsall. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We arrived in Kitimat at around 1:30 p.m. and launched the rescue boat to take the person ashore. By 2:15 p.m. we were back sailing...From what I understand the person involved is now in stable condition.â&#x20AC;?

And while the vessel was late getting into Port Hardy that evening, Marshall says it would be on time for its trip back up to Prince Rupert. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have called in an extra crew to assist with the cleaning and turning-over of the vessel, so it should be leaving on time,â&#x20AC;? she said. This is the first time BC Ferries has had to call on Kitimat for a medical emergency drop-off.

OPINION

MY VIEW…

Looking ahead to a new school year This week students from across the province returned to school, and here in Prince Rupert it will be another year of some minimal change following arguably the most significant change in the district last year with the amalgamation of the two high schools and the introduction of the middle school. For high school students, aside from the ongoing construction and the new field at Charles Hays, there will be one principal instead of the two that were present in 2011/2012. Last year principal duties were split between former CHSS principal Sandy Jones and former PRSS principal Sheila Wells, while this year Jones has taken on the task of assistant superintendent for the district. For the first time in a long time, there will be one principal overseeing every high school student in Prince Rupert, and that will be Wells. It looks like somewhat of a daunting task, but there’s no doubt she will be up to the challenge. But the changes at CHSS are nothing compared to the changes students in Port Edward can expect. Students there are expected to spend the first four months at the current location, which has been operating in Port Edward for decades, before moving into a brand-new and untested facility after the Christmas break. Of course timelines could change with construction, but that is quite the switch for the young students and the staff. As for a hopeful change, fingers crossed that the middle school will find a way to provide some competition for the young athletes in their midst. Gone are the days of interschool competition for grades six and seven, so hopefully there can be a solution found for that this year.

And in the background of all of this, something that will be more noticed by the parents and staff then by the kids themselves, we’ll likely have a new Education Minister or two as the school year progresses. George Abbott announced he wouldn’t be running and expects to be replaced in cabinet in the very near future, while the Liberals are not necessarily the favourites to be returned to office which

could mean a new Education Minister and new party after May. After years and years of lambasting the Liberals on education issues such as funding, class size and composition and anything else, the NDP would have a lot of talk to back up with action should they be successful in forming the next government. ~ Shaun Thomas

Tourism’s role in helping create a healthy community The value and future of tourism, as part of this community, is paramount to us at Tourism Prince Rupert. Guided tourism growth can be extremely meaningful for the community. Uncontrolled growth could be less beneficial. We all know the stories of worst-case scenarios, such as cruise ports with “tourist go home” signs in the windows. I can see how attitudes like that develop – unplanned growth in any industry can lead a community down paths it shouldn’t necessarily have taken. Yet it saddens me to think that the people who live in those places could have allowed that to happen. In Prince Rupert, the only reason that we work as a community to shape and develop tourism is to build a stronger community. I’ve said it before - we’re not going to save the world with tourism. But it offers us many things. In just the three months of our Prince Rupert Visitor Study in 2007, we know that tourism brought us $52 million in revenue

and hundreds of jobs. I for one have not forgotten Talking tourism pride. We’re now taking part in a the sheer optimism of that day Tourism British Columbia in 2004 when the first flood of Value of Tourism study, and passengers from the Norwegian that should finally give us a Spirit arrived at Northland sense of what tourism means Terminal. On that day it seemed in annual revenue. Although that we were finally reaching the it is important to know the light at the end of a long, dark dollar value of the industry, tunnel, and after six seasons it won’t tell us the whole of operation, every time one of story. those ships ties up it still brings BRUCE WISHART Tourism offers economic this community a $280,000 pay growth without unnecessary cheque. sacrifice. Properly planned, The value of tourism needs to tourism growth need neither change our way be measured by the many things that make a of life nor bring harm to our environment. difference in our lives.

It allows us to have many amenities, in on tourism contribute substantially to our tax museums, diverse restaurants and so on, that base. we might not otherwise be able to support. I think that the people of this town are And frankly, showing off our town to the excited about tourism, but I’m not sure that we world brings a strong sense of community have, as a community, completely embraced

tourism. One still hears too many dismissive comments, mostly from people who don’t know enough about what the industry can mean for us. Learning more, and becoming involved, is nearly always rewarding – and it’s easy to do. It has taken hundreds of volunteers to stage the Northern BC Winter Games, the Torch Celebration, All-Native, and so on, and if contributing a few hours to these celebrations isn’t an example of many people collectively working in small ways to create a benefit to the community, while at the same time putting our best foot forward for visitors, then I don’t know what is. Like many people who did not grow up here, I recognize on a daily basis why Prince Rupert is important to me. Set against any challenges created by a small or isolated community, this is a place where people still care. I think that tourism will help us prosper as a community while leaving this core value undamaged.

Separating oil from manure in the provincial pipeline debate By Tom Fletcher Black Press

of greenhouse gases from all types of crude occur when the most common heavy oil used in B.C. It’s called gasoline, jet fuel and diesel are burned by the end user. asphalt. Yes, there are variations in emissions on the remaining quarter. Emissions from mined oil sands crude are slightly higher than steam extraction, which is slightly higher than conventionally drilled and pumped crude. The most greenhouse gasintensive crude used in North America is California heavy crude, which is conventionally drilled. Burning coal produces far more greenhouse gases than oil, as University of Victoria climate scientist Andrew Weaver has calculated. CELEBRATING 40 YEARS Two U.S. environmental groups, A S A including the one fronted by Redford, NATIONAL HAR BOUR have lately been promoting a study that suggests oil sands crude is more corrosive to pipelines. False, says the industry, showing analysis of pipes that have carried diluted bitumen for decades. The Trans-Mountain pipeline has been carrying crude from Alberta to Burnaby and Washington state for more than 60 years. It has periodically carried heavy crude for 40 years, and diluted bitumen for 25 years. Some of that crude is refined in Washington and the gasoline and diesel barged up to supply B.C. gas stations. And of course Vancouver Island, Haida Gwaii and all other B.C. islands depend on marine fuel shipments.

I was as surprised as anyone to hear about the plan by this newspaper’s owner, David Black, to begin regulatory work on an oil refinery for Kitimat. I’ll leave it to others to comment on the practicality of that plan, and whether it would make the proposed Northern Gateway pipeline project more acceptable to B.C.’s government and population. Black Press news coverage, columns, letters to the editor and other reader comments are not affected by this project, and there has been a range of views expressed already. Whatever the merits of the refinery idea, it has advanced the debate over pipelines and the place of oil in our society. And that’s a good thing, because as someone with a basic knowledge of chemistry and some experience in oil refining, I have noticed a lot of ignorance about the subject. Today I’d like to address some of the main misconceptions, which have been exploited by some opponents. The first one is oil pollution in general and how it gets into the environment. A global study by the Smithsonian Institution in 1995 calculated the amount of oil making its way into oceans this way: Big tanker spills accounted for 37 million gallons a year, about five per cent of the total marine oil pollution identified. By far the largest source was oil runoff from land into drains, from oil changes, municipal and industrial wastes and other sources: 363 million gallons. Bilge cleaning and other routine ship maintenance added 137 million gallons, four times the tanker spill average. Air pollution from vehicles and industry deposited hydrocarbon particles equal to another 97 million gallons; natural seeps added 62 million gallons; offshore drilling discharges accounted for 15 million gallons. So that’s the first thing to understand. It’s not tankers and pipelines doing most of the polluting. It’s you and me. Then there is the propaganda about greenhouse gas emissions from the oil sands crude. Actor Robert Redford is one of the highest-profile pitchmen for the false notion that “tar sands” oil generates three times the greenhouse gases as conventional oil. 2012 FALL REGISTRATION The facts are clear. The most widely cited Certi¿ ed, Experienced Dance Instruction in Jazz, source is a graph prepared by Cambridge Energy Ballet, Tap, Irish, Musical Theatre, Modern, Acro, Research Associates, which shows that 75 per cent

◆ PROVINCIAL AFFAIRS

Three BC ministers announce they won’t seek re-election By Tom Fletcher Black Press Education Minister George Abbott has confirmed he is following Finance Minister and Deputy Premier Kevin Falcon into political retirement. Chilliwack MLA John Les also announced Thursday that he will not run in the 2013 election, and Children and Family Development Minister Mary McNeil released a statement saying she has made the same decision. Falcon, the three-term MLA for Surrey-Cloverdale, resigned as finance minister Wednesday. Premier Christy Clark said all MLAs have been asked to declare their intentions by the end of the summer, and she will unveil a cabinet shuffle next week. Abbott said he expects to be dropped from cabinet as the B.C. Liberal election team is assembled, but he plans to continue to work on the election platform as he serves out his fourth term as MLA. With a total of 33 years in elected office at the local and provincial level, and at age 59, Abbott said he will not be making any comebacks in the future. Abbott served as health and

Man charged with theft Contributed The Northern View A Prince Rupert man faces charges after an alleged altercation with a grocery store worker in Terrace earlier this month. Gordon Pagens, 20, has been charged with theft, assault, and three counts of breach of probation, said police in a release dated August 21. On August 5, the Loss Prevention Officer of Save On Foods was allegedly assaulted by a man he arrested for theft, said police. The man then reached for a knife in a sheath at his waist, at which point another store worker stepped in and

assisted the Loss Prevention Officer to restrain the man, the release continued. Police took custody of the man, who was on conditions to not be in possession of weapons, including knives, and seized the knife, said the release. Officers also seized from the man a lighter, ear bud style headphones, a key, and a knife that the man had stated were stolen from a semi truck/ trailer parked in the industrial area of Terrace that he was sleeping in, said police. If these items belong to you, contact Const. Matt Anderson at the Terrace RCMP detachment.

Mildred will be buried next to her beloved husband and her parents at Carrot River Valley Lutheran Church in Fairy Glen, Sask. Roy was employed by the City of Prince Rupert from 1967-1983; he and Mildred had many fond memories and enjoyed many great friendships through those years. Both of them had an “open door policy” and their house was often Àlled with friends and strangers alike. They moved to Salmon Arm, BC in 1983 where they enjoyed the sunshine, new friends and their six grandchildren. She will be missed in more ways than we could ever say and will always be an inspiration and a joy. Condolences and memories may be shared at www.bowersfuneralservice. com

Tourism Capacity Coordinator In 2011, The Cruise Ship Task Force was launched as a coordinated effort to re-engage cruise passengers and attract new cruise lines. The volunteer-led activities were successful in terms of engaging visitors, but sustainable development of the cruise sector in Prince Rupert will only come through the growth of excursion capacity for passengers. Despite our outstanding venues and activities, there is a shortage of tourism operators in the region. The Cruise Task Force is focused on incubating entrepreneurship through the creation of expanded tourism opportunities. We will concentrate on enhancing guest experiences through unique activities and settings.

Schumacher had told his fellow employees at the port authority that if he were to raise $500 in the office for the Jail and Bail that he would shave his head. His co-workers came through, exceeding the goal and raising $820 for the local riders. The

Prince Rupert Port Authority agreed to match that amount. As well as money raised through work, Schumacher was pledged $500 from friends and family during the Jail and Bail, bringing his total fundraising in support of pediatric cancer research to $2,140. On Wednesday afternoon Schumacher had his head shaved while local rider Bob Killbery and PRPA staff looked on.
