u Coons alleges conflict of interest

“

The proposed Canpotex potash export terminal in Prince Rupert has been given the go ahead from the Canadian Environment Minister. In a statement released late last week, Minister Peter Kent announced that he found the proposed potash export terminal and road and rail utility corridor planned for Ridley Island “is not likely to cause significant adverse environmental effects” based on the mitigation measures and the follow-up measures outlined in the Comprehensive Study Report filed by Canpotex. The terminal calls for dock and marine infrastructure to receive 180,000 tonne vessels, a 180,000 tonne potash storage building with conveyor and dust collection system, an automated railcar unloading and conveyor system and buildings for administration, maintenance and personnel in addition to site services like water and hydro.

Bill Belsey, the former North Coast MLA and current spokesperson for Sun Wave Forest Products, has found himself in the middle of a provincial controversy after The Globe and Mail obtained an e-mail forwarded to him by Minister of Jobs Pat Bell. The e-mail from Bell to Belsey, who served together in the Legislature, outlined the contents of an article published in

“...the optics of it smell worse than a fish reduction plant.” - Gary Coons

Chinese publication Caijing surrounding the purchase of the former pulp mill by Ritao Ni. The e-mail outlines allegations that

Mr. Ni’s activities included inappropriate influence over Chinese officials, a dubious loan scheme that saw $60 million of a $100 million loan application set aside for the purchase of the mill despite the $9 million price tag, fraudulent financial documents valuing the former pulp mill at $202 million and missing approval of Chinese regulators. At the time the e-mail was sent, Nov. 29, 2011, Belsey was lobbying on behalf of Sun Wave Forest Products and speaking for the company in the media. See BELSEY on Page 2 Funded in part by:

Coons calls e-mails suspicious MLA tells Bell he should heed Bloy precedent and resign

The Northern View archives

Environment Canada has approved Canpotex to take the next steps to construct a potash export terminal on Ridley Island.

Canpotex into permit stage

CANPOTEX from Page 1 Included in the study is the rail/utility corridor proposed by the Prince Rupert Port Authority. That project includes an eight to 8.5 kilometre rail loop to handle up to 14 inbound and 11 outbound trains on Ridley Island, a 3.4 kilometre 69 kV transmission line connected to the BC Hydro grid and an access road with a rail overpass and underpass. The matter has now been referred to the DFO, Transport Canada and Environment Canada for the needed permitting. Both Canpotex and the Prince Rupert Port Authority declined to comment on the approval of the terminal and rail, road, utility corridor.

GATEWAY perspectives

Marine safety plan

Safety starts with a tanker acceptance program that’s as stringent as any in existence — and includes an independent review of all tankers, weeks ahead of their scheduled arrival. Tankers mooring at the terminal will be double-hulled and no more than 20 years old, and will be required — by independent third parties, before they enter Gateway’s shipping channels — to show a sound maintenance and operational history. As they approach Kitimat, all vessels will be boarded and guided by B.C. Coast Pilots with expert knowledge of our coastal waters. Simulations conducted in varying weather conditions have shown that the largest tankers can be safely navigated without the help of tugboats. Still, Gateway is adding a tug-escort system as an additional safety measure. The Douglas Channel is already one of the deepest and widest inland waterways on North America’s west coast, and Gateway’s tug-escort

u Howie takes Sooke job

City manager tenders resignation By Shaun Thomas The Northern View

Prince Rupert’s long-serving city manager has agreed to take on a new leadership role on Vancouver Island. Howie gave his notice effective Jan. 31, 2013 and is scheduled to start in his new position as CAO in Sooke on Feb. 1, 2013. Howie said the main reason for the decision had to do with family. “My three kids and two grandchildren live in the Lower Mainland, so it’s time to start the migration back to Vancouver and this opportunity came up,” he said. “I’ve really enjoyed my time in Prince Rupert, working with different councils and employees, but it is time to get closer to my family.” Prince Rupert mayor Jack Mussallem praised Howie for the work he’s done for the City and said the process of finding Howie’s replacement will begin shortly. “You would always like to have someone in place before he leaves, but it depends on the selection process, the considered candidates and their time line. The best candidates may not be able to make the move in time... Whoever is leaving employment somewhere else to come here needs to be respectful of their employer and provide enough notice,” he said, noting the hiring will be done at the discretion of council. “Council’s focus is continuing with the consistency in the City and carrying on with the many projects we are pursuing on behalf of the people of Prince Rupert.” Howie served as CAO in Prince Rupert from 1980 to 1987 and returned to fill the role again in 2005. As well as being City Manager, Howie is currently serving as chair of the CityWest board of directors.

u Calls for decriminalization of marijuana

Cannabis crusader wants cops to butt out By Martina Perry The Northern View

Dana Larsen wants cops to stop worrying about recreational pot smokers. Larsen stopped in Prince Rupert last week to promote the Sensible Policing Act, which aims to decriminalize possession of marijuana in British Columbia. “The Sensible Policing Act will amend the Police Act… by instructing police in British Columbia to spend no time or resources on searching, seizing, detaining or arresting anyone for simple possession of cannabis essentially decriminalizing it,” Larsen said at Wednesday’s gathering at the Prince Rupert Library. The second part of the Sensible Policing Act will call upon the federal government to remove pot from the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act so it can start being legally taxed and regulated in a manner similar to alcohol and tobacco. It will also mandate the government to start a public commission on the subject. Next fall, the Sensible BC campaign will launch an initiative-petition, collecting signatures in hopes of getting the Sensible Policing Act on the next provincial voting ballot in September 2014. To get it on ballot, 10 per cent of registered voters in every electoral district must sign a petition within 90 days. Larsen is currently touring in hopes of getting people to pre-register to sign, so when the time comes it’s easier to find people who want to sign it. “We live in the only province in Canada where citizens can get together and collect signatures to force a referendum on an issue. This is the perfect opportunity.

Dana Larsen made his 19th stop on a tour of the province in Prince Rupert last week to garner support for the decriminalization of marijuana possession.

marijuana continues to rise, doubling since 2005. Locally, the number of people arrested for possession has gone up. In Prince Rupert there were 129 people arrested for marijuana possession in 2011, which is up from 108 in 2010. “The law is clearly not preventing anyone from using it. How do we reduce any potential harm and maximize any benefits? In a legalized, regulated system,” Larsen said. Larsen will return to Prince Rupert in the spring for another event.

The series will focus on the key future sectors of employment, as well as the present. From how to get a job to how to plan for a career, to how to transition to another career, we will endeavour to point out the truly exciting career choices and business opportunities for Prince Rupert and B.C. that lay ahead... and those that are available right now. ant a job — get trucking. Port Edward trucking

company owner Murray Kristoff summed up the increasing demand for professional drivers in eight little words. “I could hire a dozen drivers right now,” Kristoff told the Prince Rupert Northern View last month. Recently, Fairview Terminals celebrated its fifth year in Prince Rupert and already hit the 50,000th truck to pass through its gate milestone. “I’ve had six other job offers in the past year,” a northwest B.C. driver, who asked not to be identified, said. “I’m doing pretty good right now anyway, but some of [the other job offers] were for a lot, I

But this is where my family lives and we like it here, so, I’m staying put. “But for new [truck drivers] there’s plenty of really good-paying jobs out there right now.” Job seekers are in luck when it comes to the commercial road transportation industry in British Columbia. Trucking companies throughout BC require professional drivers, mechanics, dispatchers and operations staff right now, which means that job seekers with experience and/or training may find work within their preferred region. For those considering training prior to joining the workforce, demand for skilled workers in the industry is likely to grow – to 2020 and beyond. There are a number of reasons for this. For truck drivers, the industry is facing a North Americawide shortage because most are 45 years of

age or older and nearing retirement (in fact, in Canada, according to a report by the Canada Trucking Human Resources Council, 58 percent of long-haul truck drivers fall in this age range). Similar shortages exist for other jobs, including diesel engine and heavy duty mechanics. Aside from worker shortages, economic growth in the AsiaPacific Gateway is also driving demand for workers in transportation. This applies not only to companies in the Lower Mainland, but in other regions as well, since the Asia-Pacific “Gateway” is actually made up of an integrated supply chain of airports, seaports, rail and road connections, and border crossings, from Prince Rupert to Surrey, with links supplied by trucking. See JOBS on Page 13

Howard Minchau of Kristoff Trucking was the lucky driver to make the 50,000th pass through Fairview Terminal’s gate. That volume of container trucks entering just one terminal in Prince Rupert shows the incredible demand B.C. now has for truck drivers and support staff.

u Lax Kw’alaams chief councillor recognized

Reece lauded for business acumen By Shaun Thomas The Northern View

A north coast First Nations leader has been recognized for his business acumen by the BC Achievement Foundation. In announcing the winners of the 2012 BC Aboriginal Business Awards, the fo u n d at i o n announced Garry Reece that its board of directors chose to recognize Lax Kw’alaams Chief Councillor Garry Reece with the Individual Achievement Award for the past 12 months. “I was quite surprised. I knew my name had been put forward, but I was very happy when I found out,” said Reece. As leader of the Lax Kw’alaams band, Reece has helped oversee the growth of Coast Tsimshian Resources, which owns a log debarker in the industrial site and recently opened an office in Beijing to facilitate trade, and is part of the group looking to purchase and redevelop Watson Island into an

export facility and logistics park. As well, the band recently reopened the new fish processing plant in the community. “We’ve committed over $11 million for that fish plant. We’re now into groundfish and have two shifts running with one or two boats arriving every day,” said Reece, adding that the future looks bright based on opportunities coming up in the region. “We had to do something to create employment, that’s why we decided to invest in the fish plant... It’s very important that we create employment not only for our community but for our members in the north.” According to BC Achievement Foundation chair Keith Mitchell, Reece was a natural selection for the award. “The BC Aboriginal Business Award for Individual Achievement is presented to a person who has demonstrated outstanding business acumen as an entrepreneur, leader or supporter of Aboriginal business in British Columbia... Chief Councillor Garry Reece is the 2012 recipient of the Individual Achievement Award in recognition of his exceptional leadership in business development for Lax Kw’alaams,” he said in an e-mail to the Prince Rupert Northern View.

If you have an opinion, we want to hear it

Opinion

www.thenorthernview.com

t must be off-putting for many. The thought “that was random” definitely crosses plenty of their minds. Getting approached by a complete stranger and being asked what your opinion on a political or social issue is doesn’t happen on a regular basis. But that’s my job. The Prince Rupert Northern View is bringing “On the Street”, or the streeter, back to life. Newspaper surveys show reader opinion Martina Perry sections, like “On the Street,” are one of the first sections people look at in newspapers. It does make sense. It’s interesting to see what local people, possibly even friends or family, have to say about an issue and it’s a great way to let readers give feedback on current affairs. But that doesn’t mean I always enjoy doing it. I feel uneasy walking up to someone I don’t know, and trying to convince them to share their personal thoughts with not only me, but the community as a whole. As a reporter, I have to interview tons of people I don’t know. However, there is always a reason why I chose to speak with that specific person. When you’re selecting people at random, it’s near impossible to look at someone passing and be able to tell if they are familiar with an issue. There’s no way to know, aside from asking. In the past it wasn’t always difficult finding people to answer. I remember several occasions when I was covering events, or struggling to find people to answer “On the Street” downtown when I would approached by people expressing interest in being included. That was probably the best feeling in the world. Individuals who feel intensely about an issue always have the most thought-out and interesting answers. These opinions are the most thought-provoking to read. I encourage anybody who reads next week’s question and sees either myself or View editor, Shaun Thomas, walking around downtown with a camera or at an event to speak up.

Legalizing marijuana just makes sense

arijuana cigarettes should be available for purchase at every corner store, gas station, grocery store and pharmacy in the province. Following the returns from the US election last week, I had a bit of a keen eye on Initiative 502 in Washington State which would legalize the sale of marijuana. When it passed, my first thought was, “finally, somebody got it right”. The Initiative allows adults to carry one ounce of useable marijuana and 16-ounces of marijuanainfused product; outlines regulations for marijuana growth and sales; creates a 25 per cent tax on the sale of marijuana; and charges a $250 initial fee with a $1,000 annual renewal fee. Of that 25 per cent tax, 55 per cent is set aside for health care, 25 per cent is set aside

for drug abuse treatment and medication, one per cent goes to marijuanarelated research at the University of Washington and the remaining 19 per cent goes into general Shaun revenue. At a time when hospitals are crying out for more money for equipment and staffing; when school boards are crying out for more money for education; and when cities are crying out for more money for infrastructure, this to me seems like the best possible solution. Right now the government is spending millions of dollars and countless resources on a war on drugs

that was lost at least a decade ago, if not sooner. P o t prohibition has failed – ask one teen to bring you a beer and another to bring you a joint and I guarantee the Thomas kid will be back with the weed before the other even gets started. Instead of dishing out all this money in a failed attempt to bring these people to justice, why not make money off of something people are going to do anyway? At least this way not only are the people of B.C. benefitting, but the safety of the people doing it and the quality of the product can be guaranteed. I don’t smoke marijuana

or take drugs, I never have and likely never will, but I know people who have bought marijuana laced with meth and cocaine in an attempt to get people hooked on the harder, more costly drugs. How is that safe? And if alcohol — the cause of countless vehicle accidents and bar fights – and cigarettes — the cause of countless cancer-related illnesses and deaths — are legal and contributing to our economy then it makes absolutely zero sense to keep marijuana outlawed. It’s time for society and government to wake up. The status quo has failed and money is being put into a losing effort at the expense of our health and our children. Legalizing marijuana only makes sense. I don’t get how people can’t see that.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

“

Watch where you are walking

Editor: Why are many dog owners not picking up after their pooches? After being with two dogs at the waterfront near Kwinitsa Station today, I felt I had to submit this letter. The amount of dog excrement left around the waterfront is appalling. Shame on you.. those who are not picking up after their dogs! No excuses…there are poop bags available in the area. If you are not in an area that supplies poop bags then pick up a few extra for your pocket! What do you think... that everyone enjoys their dogs stepping in your dog’s poop or getting poop on their own shoes or pant cuffs? I cannot believe how inconsiderate these people are and why they think they have the

“I cannot believe how inconsiderate these people are...” - Jan Palmer

right for their dogs to “unload” and not pick up after them while the rest of us feel obliged to do a clean-up. The scenario is not much different at the “doggy park” at the Civic Centre. The City was kind enough to give dog owners an enclosed area to run their dogs. So, again, this area is used by the public and their dogs and people are not picking up after their dogs there either. What’s with that?

A few weeks ago there was a young woman there, you know who you are, with two large dogs; while she yapped on her cell phone her two dogs unloaded right in front of her and she walked away. And, yes, other people using this facility are picking up after your dogs. People who do not own dogs are disgusted with the messes they are walking in or around everywhere in town. It is not the dog’s fault, but the fault of the ignorant guardians. We should all be more considerate and respectful of others who are using these public areas. It isn’t a big deal if everyone would just pick up after their dog. Jan Palmer Prince Rupert

Pinnacle belongs on Ridley Island Editor: It is truly a sad day when big business can do whatever they want, no matter how much opposition they receive from the people directly affected by those decisions. Seems to me that the people in the neighbourhood expressed several concerns regarding

air quality pollution, noise pollution, loss of access to the waterfront, big rig traffic in the downtown core as well as concern for explosions and fire and unsightly silos. Yes, the powers-that-be spout off their empty promises about our concerns and continue on in their ruthless manner.

The place for this business is on Ridley Island not on the waterfront in one of Prince Rupert’s best neighbourhoods. Thank you. Barbara Greene Prince Rupert

LNG pipeline converted to oil?

Editor: Can a natural gas pipeline be converted to carry oil? Apparently so. This and many other distressing facts were shared with our community on Oct. 14, 2012 by Andrew Nikiforuk, an award-winning Canadian journalist. I live in the Kispiox Valley

approximately 30 kilometres north of Hazelton, B.C. Our community recently noticed a flurry of helicopters flying up the Kispiox Valley. The helicopters had geomapping equipment attached to their runners. It was eventually brought to light that the helicopters were hired

by Spectra Gas and that they were mapping out a proposed liquefied natural gas (LNG) pipeline that would run from the Peace River country through our area, crossing several rivers and going all the way to Prince Rupert. See LETTER on Page 8

Photo by Prince Rupert Port Authority FAST-GROWING GATEWAY: The Fairview Container Terminal opened in October 2007. Five years on, Prince Rupert is now one of the fastest-growing container ports in the world, and marketing the port’s advantages is a full-time, fast-paced assignment.

Port marketing takes substance, stamina

RE:PORT

ince making Prince Rupert his home in January of this year, Jason Thorne has spent nearly 50 nights in hotel rooms while crisscrossing the continent. It’s an indication of the packed schedule the Port Authority’s new Marketing Manager maintains while pursuing new business. “As the Port Authority, we’re naturally invested in the growth and success of the Fairview Container Terminal,” Jason says. “So I’m committed to working with customers to help them understand the advantages that the Port of Prince Rupert can bring to their business.” Most Prince Rupert residents are familiar with Fairview Terminal, operated by Maher Terminals and staffed by members of ILWU Local 505. The terminal has acquired an international reputation as a highefficiency container gateway that links North America to emerging markets in the Asia-Pacific region. It’s regularly been ranked as one of the fastest-growing container terminals in the world, with respect to year-over-year performance. Many residents have even visited the terminal’s public viewpoint to watch the carefully-choreographed interplay of trains, ships, cranes, and trucks. What most people don’t realize is that Port Authority staff like Jason are relentlessly representing the Port of Prince Rupert at trade shows, industry events, and customer meetings all over North America in order to keep the goods moving. For customers evaluating whether to ship their containers through Prince Rupert, a conversation with Jason is often the first step of the decision-making process. “The message we’re delivering today has evolved a lot since Fairview opened just over five years ago,” Jason notes. Prince Rupert is still the closest west coast port to Asian trade capitals like Shanghai, Busan and Tokyo. The harbour is still one of the world’s safest and deepest natural harbours, free from ice and navigational hazards year-round. But now there’s more to the story than geography. In conjunction with its terminal partners and CN Rail, the Port of Prince Rupert claims one of the fastest and most reliable supply chain networks. High-end goods from China are reaching Canadian and American consumers in major cities like Montreal and Memphis in record time. Products are arriving through a dependable, scheduled service that helps Prince Rupert’s customers become more competitive. As part of his presentation to cargo owners and third-party logistics suppliers, Jason explains the formula behind Prince Rupert’s reputation for reliability: it combines the strength of our local workforce, the support of the community for sustainable growth, and the harmonious working relationship between terminal and transportation partners. Just yesterday, the Intermodal Association of North America wound up its annual three-day Intermodal Expo. That means Jason is hitting the road again. Like its cargo, the Port of Prince Rupert’s messenger is always on the move. Re:port is a collaborative promotional venture by the Prince Rupert Port Authority and The Northern View.

LNG LETTER from Page 7 On Oct.16 along with many other British Columbians, I received a phone call inviting me to a town hall meeting that was to commence momentarily. It was hosted by Spectra Gas and they were inviting people to take part in an information session about their proposed project. There was no advance notice of this event. The few people who did take part in our area never had their questions addressed. I am told that the “audience” was heavily loaded with supporters from Alberta. I was so angered by the lack of notice and respect from this company that I feared I would be unable to comport myself well, so declined the offer to participate. We fear that this “town hall meeting” is Spectra Gas’ attempt at consultation. Carol Ponchet-Cassidy Kispiox Valley

OPINION

u Op-ed

Please take time to fill out this B.C. Ferries survey

ast week I wrote about the B.C. Coastal Ferries Consultation and Engagement process. Last Friday a group of about 30 local stakeholders attended the “small group meeting” in Prince Rupert, and from this very diverse group of local voices came a very unified message – a message that, quite frankly, questioned the nature of this consultation process. However, it takes more than 30 voices to sway a government, and for this reason I beg you to go online, http://www. coastalferriesengagement.ca, and fill in their survey. But be cautious. The questions are very specific, and can be misleading. On the first question, the Ministry asks how to prioritize $26 million in savings. I believe that the answer lies in increasing revenue, not in decreasing expense. Above all else, ferry rates are prohibitive for use of BC Ferries as an essential service by residents or as an economic driver for tourism. Lower fares will increase ridership. Yes, there is also potential for on-board revenue streams. Perhaps, within this, there is a chance to reduce persailing cost, through simple yield

management, Talking but revenue remains the key. Personally, I didn’t check any of the prioritization boxes, and made the above points in the comment box. The next question asks us to rate our level of agreement with BC Ferries Bruce reducing sailings to achieve $26 million in savings to 2016. Again, I find the question disingenuous. I checked “neither agree nor disagree,” because the ferry system offers so many diverse scenarios, particularly in the north, that this decision must be made on the basis of individual routes. There cannot be a universal decision for the entire ferry system. And I said so in the comment box. There follows a series of questions on alternate solutions to the ferry system. None of the suggestions – alternate technologies, shared passenger and

vehicle ferries, barging and so on, are practical on our key route, Route 10, between Prince Rupert and Port Hardy. You won’t need my help in answering the next questions, about your level of agreement in increasing property taxes Wishart or fuel taxes for coastal communities to help fund ferry service. Our taxes are already being used to share in the burden of paying for all of the public highways throughout the province; coastal ferries are just part of that system. Next we’re asked for innovative ideas regarding changes to the B.C. coastal ferry system to make it more sustainable. I question the nature of the question: BC Ferries is an essential service for residents, and a vital component in northern industry, and should be considered an important part of the provincial

tourism

highway system. I do not support the idea of the northern ferry service being economically sustainable in and of itself, and it should be further subsidized if necessary. I believe that as a driver for northern economic development it more than recoups government expense in tax revenues from the businesses and communities it helps sustain. And frankly, I felt I needed to end the survey by again questioning the process: This consultation seems to predetermine a particular outcome, and I don’t agree with the apparent suppositions. First among these is the supposition that shortfalls cannot be recouped through increased ridership. Ferry rates have long since surpassed what both local and visitor markets are willing to pay, leading to an inevitable decline in ridership. Properly marketed, and with a competitive fare structure, there is no reason the service cannot be sustainable and healthy within the current model. Please take the time to complete the survey. It would be disastrous to have the province make any changes to BC Ferries based on the suppositions that launched this consultation.

u Fairview up 22 per cent

Rough October not holding Port back from record year By Shaun Thomas The Northern View

The Prince Rupert Port Authority continues its push to another record year, despite a rough October for many of the terminals. Fairview Terminal was up 22 per cent this October compared to last October, with 50,721 TEUs moving through the terminal compared to 41,465 in October 2011, while so far this year Fairview is up 44 per cent compared to last year. Imports through the terminal were up 14 per cent compared to last October, with 26,816 TEUs being handled, and so far imports in 2012 are up 41 per cent compared to the first 10 months of 2011, with 265,250 TEUs coming ashore compared to 188,046 last year. While exports were up this October compared to last, the number of empty containers being shipped out was up 84 per cent while the number of loaded containers leaving Prince Rupert was down five per cent, falling from 10,216 TEUs to 9,661 TEUs. So far this year the number of loaded TEUs being exported is up 24 per cent compared to the first 10 months of 2011, but this is the fourth month in a row that loaded exports through Prince Rupert have fallen. In July, year-to-date loaded containers being shipped out were up 42.8 per cent while July 2012 numbers were down 12.2 per cent compared to July 2011. In August

Metallurgical coal was down 65 per cent and is down three per cent so far this year, while petroleum coke was down 61 per cent last month but remains up 49 per cent. Michelle Bryant of Ridley Terminals said, in October there were 10 days of downtime due to expansion related items and maintenance, and another four days and 18 hours of downtime due to “force majeure”, or nature-related incidents. Prince Rupert Grain is down seven per cent so far in 2012 compared to 2011, and was down 17 per cent year-over-year. Movement of logs through the harbour was down 50 per cent this October compared to last and is down 42 per cent so far this year. All told there was 25 per cent less traffic moving through the port of Prince Rupert in October compared to last October, with 1.58 million tonnes this year compared to 2.11 million tonnes last year. Despite that, the port is up 12 per cent compared to its record year in 2011, moving 17.68 million tonnes of goods compared to 15.83 million tonnes last year. In terms of passenger traffic, October was a strong month for BC Ferries. 3,121 people traveled through Prince Rupert aboard BC Ferries this October compared to last, a difference of 213 per cent. Regardless, the number of domestic ferry passengers so far this year is down five per cent compared to 2011.

Kaien Island Petronas moves ahead despite ruling The 37th Annual Kaien Island Craft Fair Craft Fair u Prince Rupert open house

By Shaun Thomas The Northern View

Representatives from Petronas and Progress Energy held a series of open houses last week to inform the public about plans for an LNG terminal on Lelu Island. Current plans for the terminal call for the Environmental Assessment to be submitted in late 2013, with a final investment decision coming in late 2014 pending government approval of the The 36th Annual project. If approved, construction on the terminal and an underground pipeline from northeastern BC would get underway with the terminal taking four years to complete and the pipeline taking three and a half years. Petronas expects the first LNG to be handled in mid-to-late 2018. In terms of jobs, Petronas anticipates 3,500 direct and indirect jobs related to construction and 200 to 300 jobs once the terminal is operational. However, people of Prince Rupert shouldn’t expect an influx of people during construction as the company has plans for Jim Ciccone a completely self-sufficient construction Civic Centre camp on Lelu Island with its own food and recreational amenities. kaienislandcraftfair@inbox.com The final design and capacity of the terminal is still being determined, but is expected to be made clear in the project kaienislandcraftfair@gmail.com facebook.com/ description that should be filed by the end thenorthernview of December and is expected to include

two or three LNG trains. What is known, however, is that the jetty for loading the ships will be well away from Lelu Island. The dock will be situated west of Agnew Bank at a depth of 15 metres, and will be served by a 2.7-kilometre trestle leading from the terminal to the dock. The overall investment in the project is estimated to be $8 billion to $10 billion to bring LNG from the leased 700,000 acre area the group has on the North Montney area in northeastern B.C. Petronas spokesperson Tessa Gill said the company was happy with Trim:both 5.81” the Monday night open house in Port Edward

and the Tuesday night open house in Prince Rupert. “Overall, we were very pleased with the turnout... I think people were mainly supportive. People asked a lot of questions about the specific information and stayed a long time so we were very pleased with that,” she said. “This was just the first open house on the project, and there will be more opportunity for people to come out and provide feedback to us.” Additional information on the project can be found at www.petronasprogresslng. com/.

It’s called the Q-RAY effect, a simple and meticulously designed bracelet that works in a similar fashion to acupuncture without needles. With the terminals of the bracelet in contact with your acupoints, your natural positive energy is optimized to help you become the absolute, undeniable, no-holds-barred, best you can be! And with Christmas right around the corner, the gift of positivity makes a positively perfect present! Over 20 different styles available.

After successful events in 2011 and 2012, organizers of the National Aboriginal Business Conference announced last week that the event would be returning to Prince Rupert in April. Based on sellouts in the previous years, half of the 280 delegates spots were sold within two weeks of registration opening while it only took five days for all of the sponsorships and exhibit spaces for the conference to be snapped up. Based on those numbers, organizers from the 2G Group anticipate another sellout this spring. “Due to the increasing amount of resource development projects and associated terminals being contemplated in the region the audience has broadened to become even more global than in previous years. Delegates are already registered from Europe, Asia and the USA as well from all across Canada,” said 2G Group CEO Geoff Greenwell. “The networking opportunities attract

delegates to the event year-on-year with many large corporations looking to northern B.C. for resource extraction and entering into negotiations with the First Nations communities to structure partnerships, joint ventures and procurement opportunities.” This year, the conference will focus on mining, energy, shipping, LNG pipelines and terminals, the redevelopment of Watson

The initial plan was to construct a new restaurant in the upper parking lot of the Rupert Square Mall, next to the old Pizza Hut building, complete with a drivethru. However, A&W’s vice-president of

restaurant expansion Graham Cook said those plans fell through. “We’re still very interested in eventually setting up a location in Prince Rupert and continue to negotiate on a particular piece of property in town... We are hoping to come to a successful conclusion soon,” he said, adding the location being looked at can’t be named due to the sensitive nature of the negotiations.

JOBS from Page 4 Today’s trucking industry is an exciting place to be. Equipment in many companies is state of the art, meaning increased comfort and ease for drivers and opportunities for mechanics to work with technologically advanced systems, keeping both their skills and interest engaged. Dispatch relies on sophisticated tracking and routing systems. Others on the operations side also use information technology of many kinds to deal with everything from licences and permits, to customer services, accounting, sales and marketing. And, people joining the industry have many career choices. Drivers, for example, may work close to home as pick-up and delivery or short-haul drivers. Those who like the idea of travelling across Canada or North America can become long-haul drivers for an employer or work as owner-operators. Drivers may haul consumer goods, fuel, logs, heavy-duty equipment, livestock – most of what we purchase or consume spent some time on the road with a commercial truck! If you already have experience as a driver, mechanic or operations worker, most companies advertise jobs on their websites. Members of the BC Trucking Association from across the province may post jobs under Careers on www.bctrucking.com, and the provincial and federal governments maintain job sites at WorkBC (http://www.workbc.ca/Jobs/) and Working in Canada (http://www.workingincanada.gc.ca/ choose to Explore Careers by Occupation, then by Region). Within your own community, it may also pay to approach a company you’d like to work for, drop off a résumé and inquire if and when they’ll be hiring. If you’d like to enter the industry but need training, there are also many avenues to explore. Although there is not a standard training course for professional drivers, there are numerous private schools throughout BC that offer programs. For information on transportation trades in BC, including mechanics and other technicians, visit transCDA (http://www.tcda.ca/home). And for information on trucking careers in general, see www. truckingcareers.ca. Your own community and region depend on trucking. It may also offer the right career for you.

u Gumboot girls: Adventure, love and survival on the north coast

Muskeg Press releases newest book over the weekend By Martina Perry The Northern View

Muskeg Press celebrated the release of its newest book, Gumboot Girls: Adventure, Love and Survival on the North Coast of British Columbia at a packed Tom Rooney Playhouse on Saturday. Gumboot Girls is a collection of memoirs of women who migrated to the region in the 1970s, when there was an influx of people coming to the north coast. The Gumboot Girls came from all over North America, and even as far away as France. “It was a different world then, there was a lot of cultural change going on. For women there was a lot more freedom,” said Jane Wilde, who complied the memoirs and is one of the women featured in the book. Wilde was inspired to put Gumboot Girls together after reading Girls Like Us: Carol King, Joni Mitchell, Carly Simons and the Journey of a Generation, a combination of biographies by author Sheila Weller.

“I thought ‘this is so similar to our stories, we need to write ours down’,” she said. Wilde started e-mailing friends who lived in Haida Gwaii or Prince Rupert in the seventies, and found no shortage of interested women who wanted to share their stories. In the end 34 women agreed to be part of the book. “Everyone’s completely different and yet there’s some common threads,” said Wilde. These similarities include women finding work, adventures, love and heart break in the region, as well as women searching for a simpler life, surviving off the land. “It was mostly middle-class women from cities coming to live in the bush,” Wilde said. The book also includes photos to illustrate the experiences and show what the area looked like during that time. Saturday’s book release party was an opportunity for many of the Gumboot Girls to catch up. “It’s been a good chance to see familiar faces and reconnect and

A total of 27 pieces of art went up for display at the Museum of Northern BC on Nov. 8 as Ridley Terminals Inc. unveiled the pieces selected for their second Art Initiative. Approximately 120 proposals from 49 artists were received by the company and were reviewed by a panel of judges consisting of Bill McLennan of the Museum of Anthropology in

Vancouver, Donna Partridge of the Vancouver Art Gallery and Charles Hays Secondary School instructor Carla Rourke. With a budget of $50,000 RTI was able to purchase the 29 pieces from 22 artists in the north. Pieces present ranged from acrylics to weaving to First Nations designs to photography to wood carvings and everything in between. The pieces will be displayed at the Museum of Northern BC until the first week of December. As with the first Ridley Terminals Inc.

Art Initiative, they will then be donated to charities in the region to help them with their fundraising efforts. Along with a large group of guests, a number of artists were present. To wrap up the formal part of the evening, Michelle Bryant of RTI presented elder James Bryant with a Russell Mather print that was the a First Nations wolf design of the company’s logo as a thank you for welcoming everyone to the traditional territory of the Tsimshian people.

Demons storm back to down Rampage in home-opener Prince Rupert unable to hang onto two-goal lead in front of packed house By Shaun Thomas The Northern View

After opening the season on the road, the Prince Rupert Rampage finally played in front of their hometown fans on Saturday night, but fell short of picking up the win, falling 5-3 to the Kitimat Ice Demons. For the first 20 minutes of the game the Rampage and the Ice Demons played even hockey with Keano Wilson of Prince Rupert and Tyson Craven of Kitimat stopping every puck that came their way. The scoreless first gave way to an avalanche of goals in the second as the offence for the two teams started to click. The Demons opened the scoring with Derek Wakita beating Wilson under four minutes into the frame, But the Rampage responded with Thomas Robinson finding the back of the net on the powerplay and less than three minutes later, Kory Movld gave the Rampage the lead

IP R ORY

with 9:10 to go. Sid Spracklin extended the lead to two with just more than five minutes left in the period. But with the clock running down, the Demons showed why they are multiple league champions. Steve Venman pulled the Demons to within one with 1:47 to go and, with just six second left on the clock, Ian Coleman tied things up at three heading into the third. Unfortunately for the home team, the momentum picked up by the Demons late in the second carried into the third as Dave Venman regained the Kitimat lead with 11:44 to play and Derrick Delisser put the nail in the coffin with 2:19 to play to give the Demons the 5-3 victory. This weekend the Rampage will travel to the Bulkley Valley to play the league-leading Smithers Steelheads and the Houston Luckies. The next time the Rampage play at home will be Nov. 24 and 25 against Williams Lake and Quesnel.

Celebrating 40 years as a national harbour

Christmas campaign underway By Martina Perry The Northern View Each holiday season the Samaritan’s Purse International Relief organization collects gifts to ensure children living in situations of war, poverty, disease and natural disaster can experience the joy of Christmas through the organization’s Operation Christmas Child program. In Prince Rupert gifts for kids will be collected until Nov. 23. “There are millions of children who have absolutely nothing, and have probably never had a gift in their life. We need to give them hope,” Ethel Moorehouse, area representative for Operation Christmas Child, said. People can choose the sex and age of the child they wish to send a shoebox full of gifts

and are asked to include items like stuffed animals, small musical instruments, hair clips, toy jewellery, clothing items like t-shirts and socks, or individually wrapped hard candy in a sealable bag. Donators are encouraged to include school supplies, such as pens, pencils, pencil crayons and note pads. “If they don’t have a pencil and paper, they don’t go to school,” said Moorehouse. Samaritan’s Purse will send locally donated boxes to Costa Rica, Nicaragua, El Salvador, Guatemala, Paraguay, Venezuela, Guinea and Equatorial Guinea this year. Shoeboxes can be picked up from Northern Savings on weekdays or upstairs at the Rupert Square Mall on weekends, and dropped back off at Northern Savings before Nov. 23.
