Kitimat recyclers get a monetary lifeline By Cameron Orr

THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

KITIMAT - The non-profit Kitimat Understanding the Environment society is receiving an additional $2,500 a month from the District of Kitimat to offset falling prices for the cardboard and other material it collects. The money will help keep the group afloat. KUTE’s double-whammy includes labour costs that reflect an increased minimum wage, and employment costs related to a high turnover of staff. As well, the price of cardboard and office paper has tumbled to levels that make it impossible to actually make money, let alone break

even. “We’re losing money as we speak,” said KUTE President Barb Hall. “I’m not trying to make money, I’m just trying to keep the place going.” In a letter to councillors, Hall outlined the losses the organization has seen since November. In that month they lost $3,319.15, in December they were down $3,132.66, in January it was $2,550.24 and in February they lost $2,793.73. They’re currently facing a cardboard price of $50 a tonne, which is down from $70 in February last year. Meanwhile office paper has tumbled from $125 to $60 a tonne. “We need it to be in the $90

XX 20

a tonne [range],” said Hall about cardboard. She didn’t say how high office paper would need to go to make money on processing it but said as well it would have to go much higher. She has no indication on when the price of cardboard might rise again. “It’s one of those things, how do you know?” she said. “If I knew that, I would be a billionaire.” Hall notes that last year’s residential cardboard ban is not a significant factor in their money losses. “It’s not that we have the cardboard ban that is the problem. It’s just that we’re losing money a little bit faster,” she said.

“It is a factor but it would happen regardless. We just had so many things happen all at once. All these people leaving so we don’t have real experienced people there either.” In her letter to council Hall said that KUTE had lost six employees since November 2012, two of those being depot managers. In a three week period they had to pay ten weeks worth of holiday pay for outgoing employees, she wrote to council. There was little debate at the council meeting to approve the funding, with Mario Feldhoff essentially saying that money spent on the recycling depot is “well spent” and the motion was passed unanimously.

Airport society celebrates 15th year at northwestern airport By Josh Massey

The Northern connector

TERRACE - On a cloudless day representatives from the provincial, federal and regional governments gathered at the Terrace airport to celebrate the TerraceKitimat airport society’s 15th year. Planes kept touching down throughout the March 28 meeting and tour, and this celebration of recent success was marked by a sense of urgency, as airport manager Carman Hendry said that upgrades to the aprons and access will be necessary if all of the major mining and LNG projects get approved in the area. Despite growing demand, not all funding applications have been accepted, said Hendry. Companies have been slow to let the airport know if their projects are going through, and need to provide “solid information,” said Hendry.

Shell, for instance, keeps telling them their workers will be coming in droves, but can’t supply solid numbers, said airport society president Ron Burnett. “We’re not going to build all this stuff just to be left with it at the end of the bubble,” said Hendry. This surge in passengers , driven by the expansion of major northern projects like the Rio Tinto Alcan smelter upgrade in Kitimat, Red Chris mine, the Northwest Transmission Line and others are driving traffic up. In February 2010 the airport sold $800,000 in ticket sales. Compare that to $2.4 million this February and the growth is obvious, said Hendry. The airport is run by a not-forprofit society, and judging by the statistics thrown around during the meeting and tour, the board has been successful at improving the airport’s reputation. It used to be the Terrace-Kit-

imat airport shared the dubious distinction of being the county’s most difficult airport to land in, along with Castlegar. In 2001 Terrace turned away 221 flights. In 2012 that number was reduced to 23. Installation of new land-sky navigation technology has gone a long way toward bringing that number down, said Hendry. Recent additions to the airport include new bathrooms and a fourth airplane stand, said Hendry. Hawkair manager Rod Howard underlined the importance of the airport to the local economy, saying he cuts cheques for $180,000 to employees living in the district. Burnett said one addition the society hopes to see in the future is a Canadian border service so international visitors can fly straight in, which would promote tourism. The airport was first developed during the Second World War.

What takes off in Prince Rupert could very well land in Vegas PRIINCE RUPERT - A cheap flight from Alberta may be the best bet to get Rupertities straight to Vegas. YPR is working with Calgary-based Enerjet and its consultant Ross Brown to provide Prince Rupert with a Boeing 737 flight to Vegas. “Sooner or later it will happen,” said Rick Reed, YPR manager. “Las Vegas is an attractive place that people always want to go to.” Reed said Enerjet will be enticing Albertans to fly to Prince Rupert with bargain bin seat prices. While Albertans visit or work in Prince Rupert, those on the North Coast can fly out to the Nevada hot spot. “[A jet to Prince Rupert] costs money and flying empty costs big money. Filling as many seats as possible helps pay for that trip over to Rupert,” Reed said. Albertan passengers would remain in the community, while

Prince Rupert passengers would board the plane and make a stop in Prince George to pick up additional passengers. Commuters from both communities would return on the same aircraft and be dropped off in their communities before Albertans fly home. Part of the reason for the stop in Prince George is that the airport there is an international one, set-up to deal with customs and immigrations services that aren’t offered at the Prince Ru-

Cain case cost nearly $20,000

SPRING

Bus stop…

& Craft Business

By Margaret Speirs

The Northern connector

TERRACE - The Kitimat-Stikine Regional District spent close to $20,000 in its unsuccessful bid to have a German shepherd declared a dangerous animal and then destroyed. The largest portion of that amount went to the regional district’s lawyer it hired to present its case in court. Legal fees to pay for the regional district’s lawyer Troy De Souza plus his flights, accommodation, meals and any other expenses totalled about $16,000, said regional district treasurer Verna Wickie. De Souza is from Victoria and had to be flown in for the trial. Cain spent nearly a year in jail after being seized and until the court case was heard. In all, he was at the regional district’s Thornhill animal shelter for 329 days – April 5, 2012 to Feb. 28, 2013 – and, at $8 per day, that cost the regional district $2,632. On April 5 2012, Cain allegedly attacked three boys, tearing the pants of one, biting the arm of a second boy and knocking down and standing on the back of a third boy in lower Thornhill, reported police at that time. The dog was seized and taken to the Terrace animal shelter as it was a weekend and the Thornhill animal shelter wasn’t open, said police. He was taken to the Thornhill Shelter the following week. The case sparked widespread social media comment with supporters of Cain in particular advocating that he be moved to the Kitimat shelter where they said living conditions were better pending a conclusion of the hearing. Provincial court judge Brian Neal turned down the application to destroy the dog Feb. 28, saying the lawyer for the regional district had failed to prove its case, which took up four days of court time. But that’s not the end of Cain’s story. After court finished Feb. 28, owner Paul MacNeil said his understanding was that even though the bylaw says Thornhill residents may only have two dogs, that a third dog is acceptable if the owner gets a kennel licence instead of individual dog licences. However, according to Murray Daly, regional district bylaw enforcement officer, MacNeil lives in the single family residential zone (R1), which doesn’t allow kennels. Regional district animal control bylaw #13.1 says “no person shall keep three or more dogs apparently over the age of four (4) months on any parcel unless kennel use is a permitted use of the parcel in accordance with the Regional District’s Zoning Bylaw.”

City of Prince Rupert facing a $500,000 budget shortfall By Martina Perry THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - While the City of Prince Rupert’s budget is still over a month from being approved, council is weighing its options to lower the projected half-a-million-dollar operating deficit. “We’re going to have to do a whole lot of juggling… If we want to make a good decision on the budget we need to look at [all the options],” Councillor Anna Ashley said. At this point of the process, there aren’t many changes from last year’s budget, aside from a hefty increase in funds allocated for paving projects. There is currently $550,000 allocated to various projects, significantly higher than the $267,000 2012 paving budget. However, there were a few new requests from city staff to be included in the budget, the first being to hire a half-time clerk at the RCMP detachment to free up investigators from administrative work, allowing more time for investigation. This would come at a cost of $30,000 for the City. Two requests also came from the civic centre, asking to refill the manager position at

$70,000, a position that has been left empty since the last employee retired. The civic centre also asked for an additional $400,000 on top of what the City is already setting aside for renovations for other projects. But Councillor Joy Thorkelson said the incremental costs aren’t likely to be included this year. “We keep saying next year, but I believe next year is coming. We just need to keep our body and soul together for another couple of years before next year does come…” she said. “There’s always been more needs than money, and of course we have not been fortunate enough to see any great change to the tax roll… This might be another year where we hold on and try to get by,” Mayor Jack Mussallem said. But before being able to get by, the City must cut over $500,000 for the operating budget. Dan Rodin, acting city manager, outlined options that could balance the budget, including reducing 2013’s paving budget by $100,000 to $150,000. This choice has been popular in the past, and would still provide staff with a minimum of $300,000 for miscellaneous paving projects.

Prince Rupert’s

Another option, perhaps least likely to have support of residents, is to increase property taxes with one per cent tax increase generates approximately $100,000 in taxes. “The tax increase we’ve seen over the last six years have been very small, and haven’t met our wages increases in that period at all,” Rodin said. The City could also decide to reduce the level of services in Prince Rupert, such as cutting back funds spent on maintaining parks, reducing staff at City Hall, or shortening the time the recreation centre or City Hall are open. Thorkelson said closing City Hall for a day could be catastrophic for city staff, and could potentially mean losing good employees. “That’s a 20 per cent wage cut to somebody whose working. That would likely mean losing anybody who isn’t riding out one year to retirement. Anyone who is qualified is going to be looking for another job,” Thorkelson said. Prince Rupert could also choose to take money from the $1.7 million accumulated operating fund surplus from past

Council decided to wait and hear what the public thinks on April 15, when the public consultation process of the budget starts, before deciding on any cost-slashing. The budget must be approved by or on May 13.

Generic drug costs lowering overall health care bills By Staff Reporter

The Northern connector

VICTORIA -British Columbians will soon notice they are paying less for many of the generic prescription drugs they need for their health, indicates a press release from the provincial government. Starting April 1, a new drug pricing regulation will reduce the price of generic drugs to 25 per cent of the brand name price, from the current rate of 35 per cent of the brand name price. The price will further drop to 20 per cent in April 2014. “Thanks to this regulation, B.C. families will pay less at the till when they fill their prescriptions. These price reductions will also save money for the provincial

government - money that can be used instead to help enhance patient care in B.C.’s health system,” said Health Minister Margaret MacDiarmid. The drug price regulation is the first in a suite of regulations required to fully implement the Pharmaceutical Services Act, which came into force in May 2012. The act shifts B.C.’s PharmaCare program from relying on government policy, to being protected by legislation. The regulation allows the Minister of Health to regulate the price of prescription drugs. Generic drugs have the same quality, strength, purity and stability as their brand name equivalents and are made to the same

strict standards. “Reducing the price of generic drugs benefits our clients by making prescription drugs more affordable for families and employer insurance plans,” said Kenneth G. Martin, president and CEO of Pacific Blue Cross. “We support this regulation, as it brings B.C. in line with other Canadian jurisdictions and helps ensure fair and consistent pricing.” “As retirees and members of the Municipal Pension Retirees Association, we believe that seniors jeopardize their health to pay for costly drugs,” said Steven Polak, president of the Municipal Pension Retirees Association. “The new drug legislation introduced by the government has

changed this. Now we, the MPRA, believe that seniors can have the drugs needed at a cost seniors can afford.” BC PharmaCare helps British Columbians with the cost of eligible prescription drugs and designated medical supplies. As one of the most comprehensive drug programs in Canada, it provides reasonable access to drug therapy for every British Columbian through several drug plans. Under B.C.’s Families First Agenda, government is working to make life more affordable for all British Columbians.

* The current cost, not including standard pharmacy fees, of a 30day prescription of the cholesterol-lowering drug Crestor is $44. The price of the generic version of this drug today is 35 per cent of the brand name price, or about $15.40. * On April 1, the

price of the generic drug will be reduced to 25 per cent of the brand name price, or $11. On April 1 2014, the price of the generic drug will be further reduced to 20 per cent, or $8.80. * The anti-platelet drug Plavix currently costs $85.20 for a typical 30-day prescription, not including standard

pharmacy fees. Currently, the generic version costs 35 per cent of that amount, or about $29.20. * On April 1, the price of the generic version drops to 25 per cent of the brand name, $21.30. A year later, the price of the generic drug will be reduced to about $17. Application No. 105017

Kaijudo players gather in Rupert Contributed

The Northern connector

PRINCE RUPERT Prince Rupert game shop Good Times Games hosted one of the largest events in its five year history over the March 16 weekend as players gathered from town and even Haida Gwaii to play in a Kaijudo collectable card game premiere. 43 players came to play in what has quickly become one of the most popular games at the shop, Kaijudo is a collectable card game where players build decks and then compete head to head against one another. Good Times hosted boys, girls and adults as young as five, and some over 40 over the weekend. Organizers were excited to announce that the shop was selected to be one of only 24 game stores in North America to host the Kaijudo Master Challenge. The winner and second place finisher of the challenge will then be invited to play in the Shattered Alliance Kaijudo Championship to be played between the top 48 players this fall in Washington. “It is such a huge honour to be selected to host this event. We have never had the chance to run an event of this magnitude and to be such a small town competing with places like Edmonton and Vancouver and still be selected shows

our dedication and effort to gaming in our town,” said Rob Gruber, coowner of Good Times Games Exciting news for Prince Rupert and en-

tire North Coast of B.C., the big event will take place sometime in May or June this year. Good Times expects the turnout for this event to potentially run over 100

players with players coming from as Victoria and Alberta for a chance to win entry into the Championship that will be taking place in the fall.

Buck a Truck campaign in Terrace is on The Northern connector

TERRACE - The Kalum Community School Society is launching its “Buck for a Truck” campaign to replace the old pickup truck that has been used for the various food programs operating in Terrace. The old truck, which was donated to the society in 2002, has served the community well, picking up and delivering food for programs such as the Good Food Box, Food Share, and Hungry Kids Project. In the spring, it is also used to deliver equipment to the school and community gardens. This has led to it being referred to as the “community truck”. However, the truck is now often needing repairs, costing the society money it can’t then use elsewhere and disrupting the operations of the food programs. It has been decided that it is time to retire the old truck and find a more reliable vehicle. An information table, with posters, brochures, and donation jars will be set up in Save On Foods on Saturday, April 6 to encourage people in the community to contribute a loonie toward buying a newer vehicle. Donation jars, brochures, and posters will also be placed in various participating businesses around town. Although most people in Terrace have heard of the food programs,

SAVE UP TO

many are not aware of the Kalum Community School Society, which is responsible for developing these programs. KCSS is a nonprofit organization that has provided community programs for vulnerable children, youth, and families in Terrace, Thornhill, and six surrounding First Nations villages since 1997. KCSS’s mission is to work with community partners within neighbourhood schools to enable success and belonging for all people. The primary goal of the Hungry Kids Project is to improve food security for children in Terrace and surrounding areas. Terrace and the outlying communities have experienced higher than provincial average unemployment levels, 10.3 per cent in October

2012. These high unemployment levels have contributed to the rise in the number of people, including youth and children, using food banks. In March 2012, a count done of people using food banks that month illustrates the need – 721 adults and 558 children. There is a link between nutrition and academic performance. It is hard to concentrate on schoolwork when you’re hungry. KCSS addresses this problem serving more than 2,000 servings of food in schools weekly in Terrace and Thornhill. In its efforts to respond to the emergency food needs, it receives significant donations from local distributors, stores and farmers. In 2012, more than

300 pounds of food a day was being recovered and distributed to those in need. That’s 9,000 pounds of waste per month that would otherwise end up in our landfill! KCSS has also developed some school community gardens, hoping to utilize and preserve produce for the school salad bars, breakfast and lunch programs. Canada is one of the few developed countries in the world without a national food program. It is time for all levels of governments and community members to deal with this problem in a way that prevents hunger from happening, increases community resources, and provides opportunities for those dealing with food insecurity to become selfsufficient. Please support KC-

In addition to the table at Save On Foods April 6, larger donations can be made at the Northern Savings Credit Union in the name of the society or by going to the society’s website, at www.kcssterrace.com.

Herbert Metzmeier â&#x20AC;&#x153;In loving memory of Herbert Metzmeier: faithful husband, dedicated father and proud Opa. Born in Kuppenheim, Germany in 1926 to Theodor and Bertha Metzmeier, he is pre-deceased by his brother Theodor, his two sisters: Irmengard & Gertrude, and his loving wife and companion of 37 years, Elizabeth Metzmeier (nee: Kaiser, 2004). Immigrating to Canada in 1951 Herb (as he was known to his friends) moved to Penny, BC where he lived for 10+ years. These were wondrous years, full of trapping, fishing, hunting and living in the wilds of northern BC. Some of Herbâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exploits as a hunter are documented in the book â&#x20AC;&#x153;Grizzly Bear Mountain.â&#x20AC;? Herb moved to Terrace in the early 60â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where he worked in the bush as a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;fallerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; for the rest of his working life. He also had many hidden talents, from woodworking and finished carpentry, to cooking and baking traditional â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;old countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; dishes. Many fine pieces of furniture or delicious baking were given as gifts and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Christmas traditionsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; through the years. Papa (to his kids) was a very private man, but to those of us who knew him, we discovered a generous, genuinely caring man who was deeply loyal & committed to his family. We will miss your shining, laughing eyes, your bushy eyebrows and the unforgettable stories of your life and experiences here and from the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;old country.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; May God bless you and keep you...â&#x20AC;? The family would like to invite all friends and family to share their memories and stories at a Family Open-House, to be held Saturday, April 13 from 1:00 - 5:00 pm, @ 4919 Davis Avenue.

Born March 28th, 1945; reborn into the Kingdom of God on March 28th, 2013. Mike was a walking miracle touching the lives of so many through his profound journey with cancer. Predeceased by his first wife Gail Docherty and son Ronn Docherty, Mike will be forever in our hearts. His life is celebrated by his loving family including: wife Suzie, sons Paul (Karen), and grandson Branden, and Kraig (Vanessa) Docherty, stepchildren Sam (Carrie), Luke (Summer) and Mary Turri, brother Ron (Lorraine) Docherty and sister Marlene (Mel) Beg, niece Farrah (Mike) Sugg and grand-niece Avery, nephew Mike Beg, his wife Nancy Ciavarella and grand-nephew Andrew and grand-niece Frances, niece Marissa Beg and husband John Lucas and grand-nephew Finn, and many more relatives and friends. Over his professional career â&#x20AC;&#x153;Docâ&#x20AC;? made a lasting, positive impression on the many colleagues he worked with both locally and around the world. First Transit, Kelowna office and BC Transit will never be the same. Mike took great enjoyment in singing at church, gardening for his wife, and refereeing football; but lamented the fact that he had to hang up his fly fishing rod when he could no longer fish Lakelse Lake in Terrace, BC. His 46 year transit career is what he was most proud of. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Docâ&#x20AC;? was passionate about safety for riders and drivers. He leaves as part of his legacy his co-authorship of the Canadian Safety in Transit manual. Mike was anchored by a deep Christian faith and profound love of his family. He always put others ahead of himself. He will be deeply missed. A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, April 6th at Evangel Church (3261 Gordon Drive Kelowna, BC) at 1:00 pm.

Cage fighting force coming to Terrace By Anna Killen

THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

TERRACE - Fight nights have happened in Terrace before – but none quite like the tournament taking place at the Sportsplex on April 13. Because this upcoming amateur fight night, Cage Fighting Force One, means Terrace sports fans get to lay eyes on “the cage” in our local arena – a professional-grade fight cage not unlike those used in big, televised events, except this one’s a hexagon, not an octagon. Athletes from all over the northwest, some as far away as Vancouver and Fort St. John, and at least half of the card hailing from the Terrace-area will be grappling it out in front of a packed Sportsplex, complete with a weigh-in the night before, ring girls, and ringside seating. It’s the beginning of fight coach and promoter (we could actually refer to him as Terrace’s Don King) Tony Rutledge’s plan to build up a hub of amateur fighters here in the northwest. He and his national fighting federation, Cage Fighting Force, are set to start hosting events all over the area – Terrace, Kitimat, Smithers, Rupert to start – eventually moving to the national stage. “We’re hoping we’ll be up to Cage Fighting Force 100 by the next four or five years,” said Rutledge. By hosting a big tournament every few months, they’ll be showcasing local athletes in both mixed-martial arts (MMA) and kickboxing, while drawing more new athletes to those clubs. This means Cage Fighting Force will have a bigger pool of athletes to draw from to showcase to the professional league. “All and all, we’re hoping that a UFC prospect comes out of the Terrace area,” he said. “A lot of people don’t get the opportunity to take this journey – promoters like myself, I’m the only one outside of Prince George, and I’ve got Northern British Columbia pretty much to myself as an amateur pro-

they called the sport “shootboxing.” Since then, it’s easily grown into one of Canada’s most-watched sports, and Rutledge’s experience, as both a trainer and a promoter, has him confident he knows how to foster its growth in the area and get northwest athletes noticed across Canada. For fighters, solid training is key, he says. Sometimes difficult for athletes who also work full-time, physically demanding jobs – especially when you take into consideration the amount of rest time an athlete needs after a tournament. And Terrace athletes will have a slight

advantage going into these events simply because the cage that they’ll be fighting in is right here, at Rutledge’s dojo in Thornhill. “I’ve got the only cage outside of – holy mackerel – probably Vancouver,” he said. “I use it all of the time. Not everybody has a cage to train in – a lot of the athletes that come to these things have never been in a cage before, they train in a ring.” But cage training isn’t just for athletes looking to compete in front of a crowd – Rutledge also does one-on-one work outs for those serious about getting in shape. “A lot of people are intimidated by the concept of working out in a cage,” he said. “But once you get in there, it’s like being in your living room.” He says from a self-defence standpoint, it makes sense to train in a cage because if you need to fend off an attacker, it will more often than not be in an enclosed space. And Rutledge confronts the stigma that these fights are dangerous and masochistic head on – first, the event is all-ages without alcohol to encourage more women and kids. He also wants to encourage females to try the sport, noting there is a solid group of female fighters he’s been training from New Aiyansh. “There are a lot training, but not many fighting,” he said. And he stresses they’re serious about proper training for their fighters. “We don’t just take people off the streets, some of these guys have trained for up to two years before they decide to get into the cage,” he said. “We’re actually doing the opposite – we’re taking these troubled kids and bringing them off the streets and teaching them respect, discipline and then letting them showcase themselves through our cage and showing them the right way to do it – there’s a right way and a wrong way of course.” Cage Fighting Force One is April 13 at the Terrace Sportsplex. Doors at 6 p.m.

Haisla girls stand tall at All Native Slubowski out of Hobey Baker

By Cameron Orr THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

KITIMAT - The Haisla Junior Girls won big at the Junior All Native Basketball provincial championships in mid-March, which was hosted in the four villages of the Nisga’a Nation. The team played six games throughout the week, against the Okanagan, Old Masset, Kincolith and Hesquiaht. The Haisla girls would face the Okanagan team again in the semi-finals, and advance to the finals after defeating them 68-49. The Haisla Girls were set for a re-match with the Hesquiaht Storm for the final, and the local girls came out with a strong defence that could not be penetrated. Team manager Margaret Grant said the team took the lead and never looked back,

in an e-mail to the Sentinel. In addition to their team championship banner, team members Megan Metz and Kierra Stevens received All

Stars honours, while Kailee Gardiner earned the title of Miss Hustle and Jennifer Nyce took MVP. Coach Mike Ridsdale

is looking forward to taking the team into competition next year for the tournament which will take place in Kamloops in 2014.

PRINCE RUPERT - Despite finishing in the Top 10 of fan voting for the prestigious Hobey Baker Award, the top individual prize in NCAA hockey, Prince Rupert’s Frank Slubowski will not be among those vying for the title. Slubowski finished seventh in the popular vote when it wrapped up last month, Slubowki was noticeably absent when the judges released the list of finalists. No reason was given by the judges for the omission. Slubowski stared every game for the University of Western Michigan Broncos, finishing with a 19-11-8 record, a 2.00 goals against average and a .918 save percentage. That was enough to give the Broncos a bye in the first round of the playoffs, but the team saw their playoff hopes dashed when the University of Michigan swept the series with a 4-3 opening game win and a 5-1 victory in the second game. With this season now in the books, Slubowski will be seeing some new competition next year as the Broncos move from the Central Collegiate Hockey Association (CCHA) to the National Collegiate Hockey Conference (NCHC). That conference includes teams like Miami University, the University of Denver, the University of Nebraska, the University of Minnesota, the University of North Dakota and more.

PRINCE RUPERT - It’s been just less than a year since Prince Rupert’s Fields Store shut down, but before the one-year mark is up Prince Rupert will see the return of the department store. FHC Holding Ltd. purchased the Fields name from the Hudson’s Bay Company last May, and will re-

instate Prince Rupert’s shop thanks to the community’s bright future. “Prince Rupert was a reasonably wellreceived store in that community,” Jason McDougall, President of FHC, said. “Prince Rupert is really starting to come into its own. There’s a lot of positive things going on there. We saw it as an opportunity to be involved in those

positive changes.” McDougall said the store will have a higher emphasis on clothing, and will be located in the lower level of the Rupert Square Mall. “I think they offer something in between Wal-Mart and Dollarama. They’re going to have a good mix [of products],” Tom Chang, manager of the Rupert Square, said. The store will need

five to seven full-time employees, with eight to 10 employees needed overall. Positions will include a store manager, assistant store manager, senior sales associate and sales associates. McDougall expects Prince Rupert’s Fields to be open in June.

THEN AND NOW: Changes since Exxon Valdez

Following the Exxon spill, the marine shipping industry in Canada and worldwide began to rethink virtually every aspect of its business. It wasn’t easy. But it was absolutely necessary. And looking back 24 years later, the industry has taken great strides to ensure another catastrophic spill never happens again.
