◆ FISH PROCESSING

Canfisco down but not out By Shaun Thomas The Northern View

700 - 3rd Ave West

Prince Rupert 250-624-5060

Canfisco vice president of production and corporate development Rob Morley has confirmed that concerns of a lacklustre fishing season by City of Prince Rupert council weren’t necessarily unfounded. Morley responded to council’s observation of low water usage at the Canadian Fishing Company plant saying that while down from last year, the company is still hopeful more fish may be coming. “I would say the season was a little disappointing... We probably didn’t process as much fish as last year, but the season isn’t quite over yet,” he said, noting there remains the possibility of an opening off the waters of Haida Gwaii and some

groundfish processing to be done as a result of Ocean Fish and Canfisco consolidating operations last summer. “We didn’t get as many pink salmon in the north as we had last year.” Joy Thorkelson of the United Fishermen and Allied Worker’s Union, said most in the industry were feeling good about the season until the end of July, when the hours started going down instead of up. The result of the disappointing season will have a significant impact on some, she said. “It has definitely impacted the number of hours [workers] have had. People who had finally crawled onto EI in the last few years will be off it again this year,” Thorkelson said of the number of hours needed to qualify for EI. “We’re hoping they find

enough pollock to get into pollock processing, which is something they had agreed to do... We’re hoping they can find 600,000 pounds of pollock.” As well, Thorkelson said there are rumours Canfisco is looking to move the canning of some chum from Johnstone Strait to Prince Rupert. For his part, Morley said it is important to note that the lower processing levels this year don’t necessarily equate to any type of downturn in the fishery or a reduction in processing planned for the north coast. “Even years are always lower. With the cycle of the pink salmon, the higher numbers are in the odd years so we are hopeful that next year will be better,” he said. “This is a reflection on the number of fish available in the north this year.”

Renowned author and lawyer Calvin Helin was in Prince Rupert on Sept. 26 to announce a new company aimed at giving First Nations more control in proposed energy projects. Speaking at the Gathering of Our Nations conference, Helin outlined the formation of Eagle Spirit Energy Holdings Ltd., an Aboriginalowned and controlled company whose purpose is to facilitate First Nations energy projects within their territories. “Everything that happens in our territory we should own and operate in partnership with non-Aboriginal companies... It is time for us to engage in this, it is time for us to be proactive instead of reactive,” he said, noting that much of the BC economy is now reliant on the energy sector.

GATEWAY perspectives

BC will benefit In recent months, there’s been plenty of economic discussion surrounding our Gateway Project. As a British Columbian, you want to know: What’s in it for B.C.? From one British Columbian to another, I feel strongly that you’ve got every right to know. And a recent independent report makes it abundantly clear that Gateway will provide significant economic benefits for our province. The Canadian Energy Research Institute is an independent, notfor-profit research establishment, and it recently released a report on the economic impact of exporting our oil/resources to countries in Asia. In pretty clear terms, CERI’s calculations suggest that we will be Canada’s biggest beneficiary of the Northern Gateway pipeline through the next 25 years — in key categories such as gross domestic product (GDP) impact, employment impact, employee compensation, and tax revenue generation. According to the report, over the next quarter-century, construction and operation of the Northern Gateway pipeline itself will create an additional $8.9 billion in GDP

Join the conversation at

to the Canadian economy — with $4.7 billion of that amount, or 53 per cent, heading to B.C. Our province also stands to beneﬁt the most in terms of employment impact, since 70,000 person-years of construction and operations employment will be created in British Columbia, compared to 37,000 for Alberta and 8,000 in Ontario. In addition, we would see 55 per cent of the total $5.1 billion in Canada-wide Northern Gateway employee compensation, or just under $2.9 billion. I’m proud of the economic value that Gateway will bring to Canada. I believe our province should receive its fair share. And as these reputable numbers clearly demonstrate, we will.

◆ UBCM

Slim majority votes to oppose oil tanker traffic By Jeff Nagel Black Press

B.C. civic leaders have voted by a razor-thin margin to oppose oil pipeline projects that would expand tanker traffic in coastal waters. The resolution passed in a nearly split electronic vote at the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention Thursday with 51.3 per cent of delegates in favour and 48.7 per cent opposed. “We rely solely and wholly upon the oceans for its many resources,” said Skeena-Queen Charlotte regional district director Des Nobles, one of several delegates who said the risks of B.C. carrying more oil to the Pacific far outweigh the benefits. Others cited the higher cost and challenge of cleaning up a spill of heavy bitumen crude oil and Canada’s insufficient spill-response capability. “Communities in the interior of B.C. and on the coast can survive and thrive without this pipeline,”

While nearly 200 oil or chemical tankers have safely visited the Ports of Prince Rupert and Kitimat over the past five years, UBCM members voted 51.3 to 48.7 per cent against pipeline projects that would expand tanker trafic in coastal waters.

Victoria Coun. Ben Isitt said. “I’m not convinced smaller communities and even large ones can thrive in the face of a catastrophic oil spill.” Opponents of the resolution cited

the damaging signal it would send of B.C.’s openness to business before environmental reviews are complete. Enbridge is in a joint review process on its proposed Northern

Gateway bitumen pipeline to Kitimat, while Kinder Morgan is in an earlier stage of its plans to expand its existing Trans Mountain pipeline from northern Alberta to Burnaby. “The oil in Canada is going to come out of the ground and it’s going to find its way to market,” Prince George Mayor Shari Green said. She said Alberta oilsands crude might flow to tidewater through U.S. states like Alaska or Washington State instead of B.C. Kinder Morgan already has a spur of its TransMountain oil pipeline that goes into Washington State. “Tsunami debris is already arriving on our shorelines,” Green said. “So would oil from our neighbours should there be an accident.” The resolution advanced by Saanich council requires UBCM to “oppose projects that would lead to the expansion of oil tanker traffic through B.C.’s coastal waters” and urges provincial government leaders to fight it by any legislative and administrative means available.

OPINION

Leader’s spin contest ends in a tie

he Union of B.C. Municipalities convention is the political event of the year for B.C. party leaders, especially heading into a provincial election. Up first was NDP leader Adrian Dix, who drew a large crowd of local politicians last week for the traditional early-morning spot that follows a long evening of receptions. In contrast to his debut last year, a typical litany of political attacks on the B.C. Liberals, Dix declared he would take the high road. And perhaps mindful of Carole James’ downfall after her content-free speech to the 2010 UBCM convention, Dix set out policies. He told delegates an NDP government would restore local authority over Metro Vancouver transit (no more toothless “mayor’s council”) and mountain resorts (no more Jumbo ski resort permits issued over local objections). Dix would also let communities decide if they want public-private partnerships for large construction projects. (Federal Heritage Minister James Moore later noted that if communities or provinces wish to decline federal funds due to this ideology, they are free to do so.) Then Dix accused the B.C. Liberals of cutting forest inventory spending by 77 per cent over the last decade, meaning decisions like rebuilding the Burns Lake mill are being made “in the dark” for the first time in a century.

That’s a damning charge, so I checked it against forest ministry budget records. As with all government programs, accounting changes can give a misleading appearance of large cuts or increases from year to year. And indeed forest inventory spending has bounced around during the B.C. Liberal term. The budget for forest inventory staffing and operation was about $8 million in 2001-02, rising as high as $15 million and falling to a low of $5.1 million in recession-hit 2009-10. The estimate for the current fiscal year is $9.7 million, an increase to try to catch up with the pine beetle disaster. Crown forest inventory has indeed fallen behind due to rapid shifts caused by unprecedented insect and fire damage. But has spending been slashed as Dix claims? No. It has increased. Next up was Premier Christy Clark, in full campaign mode. In the Gordon Campbell tradition, she brought the goodies out in her speech to close the convention. More than $200 million has been scraped together to “accelerate” capital projects at schools, hospitals and other facilities across the province. These projects were already on the books, but they’ve been moved up for obvious political purposes. Or at least the announcements will be moved up. Four-laning of the last narrow stretches of the Trans-Canada Highway east of Kamloops

will continue over 10 years. This is a federalprovincial project that will eventually be finished regardless of who is governing in Victoria or Ottawa. It includes some of the most staggeringly expensive road building in Canada, in the Kicking Horse Pass, a short section that could require two tunnels and up to 12 more bridges. Clark also announced a long-range plan to replace the George Massey tunnel under the Fraser River. It will likely be a bridge, because the tunnel is a bottleneck not only for Highway 99, but also for large ships going up-river. This is another project that will proceed eventually,

and there is no specific financial commitment yet. I haven’t found any outright false claims in Clark’s presentation, just the kind of creative accounting and blacktop politics familiar to B.C. voters. As always, I’m pleased to hear from people with specific corrections. For now, call it a tie. Neither speech represents a proud moment for our provincial leadership.

◆ LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Take a long look at the long term Editor: The Harper government’s economic policies are selling us out, where we are quickly becoming a cheap resource colony for seemingly insatiable Asian economies, particularly China. Is that what we want as British Columbians or Canadians? The fact that no one seems to be objecting to LNG pipelines, terminals or tankers on our north coast is worrisome, both for being precedent setting and for ignoring the inherent risks. Building LNG terminals here means we are supporting “fracking,” which is proving to have dire consequences like earthquakes, polluted water and ruined lives. As well, LNG is primarily methane gas which is the worst contributor to the greenhouse effect. There have been a number of LNG accidents that the industry is loath to discuss. Minimizing the scope of the risks regarding LNG transportation (any leak is extremely flammable and explosive) is doing a great disservice to our communities. How about Canadian oil and gas for Canadians? We should not be exploiting the tars sands because of the damage to the planet, but since we cannot seem to stop that development at this point, we could at least use it for our own country’s needs. Would it not make more sense to build a refinery

somewhere in Alberta (rather than the double jeopardy of a pipeline to a Kitimat refinery) and ship the refined petro products to markets across our own country? It could help to end our dependency on foreign oil and hopefully lower prices for consumers while we work on finding alternate energy sources. If LNG pipelines are put in place it will be the “thin edge of the wedge” as far as future pipelines go. Enbridge, among others, could very well try to pony up to the LNG lines with the argument that First Nations, local communities and environmental concerns will have already been addressed. As much as we may need them, I don’t believe that many local long term jobs would be created because of the modern technology used in handling these fuels. As well, another set of problems would arise because of lack of infrastructure as many workers (thousands for a refinery) would have to be imported to the north for industrial construction, as there is already a skilled labour shortage here. Have safety and liability issues fully been explored? Recent seismic reports in the Douglas Channel are not encouraging as far as any major industrial development goes. Enbridge has a dismal record regarding clean ups and say they are not responsible once the oil is loaded on ships. LNG and shipping companies have limited liability regarding

their vessels in the US waters, what about in Canada? What are industries’ rights and responsibilities? What are ours? Are we willing to take most of the risks for oil and gas companies and support the Chinese economy regardless of their human rights record and questionable market practices? If this kind of progress means

shipping our finite natural resources to other countries as fast as we can, for the economic benefit of the few, I think we need to take a good look at what this really means to our communities and to Canada in the long term. Anne Parizot, Prince Rupert

Downtown core houses draw visitor attention

couple of weeks ago I mentioned the architecture of Prince Rupert in a column about churches, and the draw that Prince Rupert’s unique architecture has for many of our visitors. This is often on my mind, because I live in one of Prince Rupert’s earliest houses. It’s an unassuming place. I was curious from the beginning about the way it sat on the lot. It took awhile to figure it all out. The balloon-framed “addition” on the back of the house is actually the original, already standing when the first fire insurance map was completed after the incorporation of the city in 1910. Mrs. Mitchell, whose family lived here for many years, told me that in their first renovation of the main floor rooms they found that the wallpaper had been laid over a layer of 1908 newspapers. The house was completed in its present form by 1913 at the very latest. The houses surrounding the downtown core tend to be the ones that draw the most attention from visitors – especially those built

At first glance, it’s simply an Art Deco building, rather common in public buildings of its time, but in place of Greco-Roman ornamentation there are Tsimshian-inspired motifs executed by William Jefferies. Hardly less surprising is the Besner Block next door, in a Spanish Colonial Revival style presumably selected by the flamboyant Olier Besner. This building would seem more at home in Southern California, and certainly has no match in northern BC. Yet it doesn’t end there. Visiting journalists who photograph these two together (with, appropriately, hybrid Haida/Tsimshian crest poles between the two) also comment on the Italianate style Capitol Theatre just down the street. In no other place is it possible to really grasp Prince Rupert’s unbelievable mix of architectural influences. If you’d like to know more about the history of Prince Rupert’s architecture, the Heritage Advisory Committee’s “Heritage Walking Tours” booklet is still available in local bookstores.

◆ FALL CAR CARE GUIDE

Is your car really ready for winter?

hose frosted windshields greeting us in the early morning are a surefire sign that winter’s on its way. However, we can take some of the sting out of Jack Frost’s bluster by making sure our vehicles are well prepared for the cold. First and foremost, just as in the summer months, the single most important factor in car safety is the contact patch - those four rectangular sections where the rubber meets the road. Kudos to you if you’ve already acquired a set of genuine winter tires - the peace of mind they provide is well worth the investment. Not only do they have deeper grooves designed to bite into the snow, but they’re engineered with rubber compounds that remain flexible — and grippy — when the mercury dips below zero. Cold air causes molecules to compress, and that includes the air in your tires. Check that your tires are at the recommended pressure, they’ll not only perform better, but will improve fuel economy too. And don’t forget the spare; hopefully you won’t need it, but if you do, you’ll want it properly inflated too. Speaking of which; make sure

you’ve got a proper jack and tire iron in the trunk for the duration of the winter as well. Being stranded is never a good thing. In the middle of winter it could even prove fatal. So it’s a good idea to ensure that your car is in good working order. Have it tuned up before that first snow fall. Not only will your car run more efficiently, tune-ups also lessens your chances of stalling. Make sure that drive belts and hoses are all in good condition, and if needed, replace them. Older rubber loses its flexibility in the cold and is more prone to breakage. Oil is categorized by viscosity; a 10W40 oil that works well in summer may be too thick to circulate easily in extreme cold. A thinner oil, such as 5W30, will keep your engine lubricated better in cold temperatures. It’s a good idea to have your brakes checked as well. Slippery roads tend to create hazardous situations and you want to be sure you can stop when you need to. Have your engine coolant tested to ensure that it’s a 50-50 mix of antifreeze and water. Having the right ratio will keep the coolant - and

Coastal northwest B.C. isn’t immune to winter’s wrath, in fact, the wide range of conditions in the Prince Rupert area makes fall car care all the more important. in turn your engine - from freezing in below-zero temperatures. Most batteries are good for three to five years. Have your battery tested to ensure that it can hold a charge, and carry jumper cables in the trunk just in case. Remember: Positive to positive terminal (distinguished by a plus sign and often with a red connector), and negative to negative! Check your windshield wipers: Flying snow and sleet can severely impair your ability to see if your wipers aren’t up to the task. Rubber that’s cracked or warped won’t clear your windshield efficiently. To be on

the safe side, replace them. Keep extra windshield wiper fluid in the trunk - you’ll go through more of it than in the warm weather, and it also makes a good deicer for frozen wipers. It’s a good idea to keep a container of lock deicer handy as well, it also works great on stuck wipers and frozen fuel door locks. Try to keep the gas tank full; not only to ensure that you aren’t stranded by running out of gas, but to prevent empty fuel lines from freezing. It’s also good insurance that if the worst happens, and you end up stuck

or in a ditch, you’ll have enough fuel to run the engine every 10-15 minutes to keep warm. A well-stocked emergency kit could even save your life in this case and should include: a warm blanket; flashlight; flares; extra engine fluids; a shovel to dig yourself out of snow; and sand, salt or kitty litter for traction; first aid kit; warm clothes (boots, extra socks, gloves and a hat); and finally, water and food such as granola bars. These simple and easy-to-do precautions should help keep you driving worry-free this winter. -Lesley Wimbush Auto123.com

Many people don’t realize or understand the value of using winter tires, as the vast majority of new cars and trucks are sold with a wide variety of all-season tires of which some claim to be good enough in winter. It’s no surprise that many do not see the point in spending more of their hard earned dollars on another set of tires. A MATTER OF GRIP Winter tires use a more flexible compound that’s specifically designed to work at lower temperatures and prevent snow buildup in the grooves, resulting in superior grip on ice. Good sized tread blocks and the larger the gaps between them, the better the tire will dig into the snow and evacuate said white stuff for best traction. If you’ve ever driven under the rain with tires so worn out that the grooves had basically vanished, then you certainly know what aquaplaning is. The same applies during winter. With a cold-hardened compound and snow easily building up in the grooves, your tires are not likely to help you maintain control. THE PROPER FIT AND USE One thing that couldn’t be stressed enough is that climate and road conditions as well as your driving habits and style must be taken into consideration when choosing a set of tires for your car. Why do you think motorsport teams carry so many different types? Tire quality is tantamount to on-road performance. Your car may boast all the safety features in the world, like antilock brakes and stability control, but their effectiveness

heavily depends on tire grip. Likewise, all-wheel drive sure helps during winter, especially when taking off from a standstill or negotiating a corner. However, if your AWD car rides on crappy tires, driving downhill or braking on uneven surfaces could spell trouble. THE EVIDENCE IS THERE A study conducted in 2001-2002 by Transport Quebec, CAA-Quebec, the Centre de recherche industrielle du Québec and the Association des spécialistes du pneu du Québec revealed that winter tires generally out-perform all-season tires in winter driving conditions. On a slightly snow-covered road at -20°C, winter tires considerably reduce braking distances whether you’re driving a car, a minivan or a 4x4. Four-wheel drive and all-season tires together allow faster accelerations from 0 to 50 km/h than two-wheel drive and allseason tires, but braking performance is not adequate. In the study, winter tires also displayed superior grip on heavily snow-covered roads at -2°C, especially upon braking. Only when a bit of snow covers the road and the temperature rises back do all-season tires offer an advantage over winter tires. According to the results, only a subcompact car riding on winter tires will take longer to reach 50 km/h. But in the case of a minivan or 4x4, winter tires again prove their supremacy.

◆ FALL CAR CARE GUIDE

A little now or a lot later It has been written, many times in fact, that a well-maintained car will return better gas mileage than a car that has been neglected. In the event that you have not been exposed to these tips in the past, we’ve put together a list of suggestions to reduce the increasingly strong “pain at the pumps” syndrome. YOUR ENGINE Fuel consumption is largely influenced by the condition of the lump located under the bonnet of your car. Think of it this way: All that fuel that you endlessly dump in the gas tank every week flows through the engine and the better shape it’s in, the more you’ll get out of a $75 fill-up. Emission components play a huge role in how much fuel is being injected in the combustion chambers as you drive. For example, a faulty oxygen sensor can wreak havoc on your bottom line. The second the engine check light goes on, make that appointment. Check this out: It’s been said that a busted O2 can increase your average by, wait for it, 40 per cent!! While at the garage, a tune-up and inspection should be done. Changing the oil and making sure that the proper grade is used can also influence gas mileage. If you’d like more information on engine oil and the different types available, we’ve got you covered. Click here. Check your air filter for dirt or clogging

is a popular tip for improving fuel economy numbers. Recently, a study revealed it does little more than potentially improve acceleration times. If this is more important to you, then fuel economy is secondary. One way or another, don’t be fooled by this suggestion. YOUR TIRES I’m sure you tire, as I do, about hearing how tire pressure plays an important role on range. The fact of the matter is that is has been repeatedly proven that properly inflated rubber can improve gas mileage by as much as 3.3 per cent. Look at it this way, at $1.50 a litre, that works out to five cents a litre. Every 30 litres, you get a free one. Multiply that by your tank’s volume and the number of fills you do in a month and if this does not convince you, we’ll talk again when $2.00 will be posted on street signs. There are numerous other ways to improve fuel economy beyond engine oil and tire inflation. Think about your car’s alignment. Your tires were designed to travel in a straight line; they only chirp when turning a corner sharply, right? If your wheels are not perfectly parallel, then your tires are “scrubbing” and creating drag or rolling resistance. Look into it. - Mathieu St-Pierre, Auto123.com

Lax Kw’alaams’ Calvin Helin garnered international praise for his first two books, Dances With Dependency and The Economic Dependency Trap, and on September 25 he released his third book entitled The Empowerment Mindset. Helin’s latest work has already been selected to be a featured book at Barnes and Noble and is receiving some high praise. “What the book is really about is how anybody, once they have the knowledge of how they got to where they are, can purposely move forward and become whatever they want,” Helin told delegates at the Gathering of Our Nations conference. “If a little kid from Lax Kw’alaams can become a world renown writer, a lawyer, a bad fisherman and

a horrible basketball player, then anyone can become anything,” he joked. The book carries on the theme of self reliance that were found in the first two acclaimed books. In explaining his reasoning for writing the books, Helin played a video interview of a woman named Violet Abigosis who was living on the streets of Vancouver’s east side who had lost her husband to pneumonia and battling with addictions crack and marijuana. “This is my Aboriginal reason for writing these books. We have to do something different,” he said. “It is time to start taking the real power as the real Aboriginal nations.” More information on the book, including a video preview and sample chapters, can be found online at www. calvinhelin.com/books

The British Columbia Ministry of Education is aiming to make improvements to what they consider to be an already strong education system by making it more flexible and adaptable.

I plan to keep my store open for key cutting and lock sales and just to enjoy a visit with my customers. I will however close for extended periods of time for holidays etc. Joan has been with Gary’s Lock Shop for 32 years and it is her desire to retire as well.

◆ CIHL CHALLENGE CUP

Tough challenge for youthful Rampage By Martina Perry The Northern View The Prince Rupert Rampage travelled to Terrace over the weekend to compete in the Central Interior Hockey League (CIHL) 2012 Challenge Cup and lost both games they competed in. “We played the two best teams in the league,” Jonathan Hunt, Rupert Rampage head coach and player said, adding that he was pleased with the team’s performance. “The young guys had a lot jitters for the first game. We’re a new, fresh team, and we didn’t have a lot of ice time,” Hunt said, mentioning that there are only a few players

from last year’s roster. The Rampage played their first Challenge Cup game on Friday against the 2011-2012 Coy Cup champions — the Smithers Steelheads. Hunt said the team played well at the beginning of the game, scoring one goal before the end of the first period. However, the Steelheads kept firing pucks into the net, leaving the score at 10-1 for Smithers by the end of second period. The Rampage played well defensively in the third period, only allowing the Steelheads to get one more goal in. The final score was 11-1 for the Steelheads, who went on to win the 2012 Challenge Cup.

On Saturday the Rampage faced off against Kitimat’s team the Ice Demons, who won the Challenge Cup last season. Hunt said Prince Rupert came out strong in the start of the game, scoring two goals in the beginning of the first period. Kitimat pushed back and scored two goals as well, however the Rampage ended the first period in the lead 3-2. Hunt said the boys had a “sloppy” second period, and were unable to score. At the end of the game Kitimat had seven goals while Prince Rupert had five. Hunt said he is happy with how the Rampage played over the weekend, considering the team has only had two on-ice

practices in Kitimat this season so far due to the lack of ice making machine at the Jim Ciccone Civic Centre. The Rupert Rampage will be kicking off the first game of the season this weekend, playing

against the Ice Demons in Kitimat on Oct. 6. “We’ll have a chance to work on things… I think we’ll be prepared going into the game,” Hunt said, adding, “We’ll have a strong team.”
