Flames engulf mini storage warehouse Cause of fire remains unknown

BY SHAUN THOMAS PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

Feature Scenes from the Seafest weekend. Pages A8-A12

Prince Rupert fire chief Dave McKenzie confirmed Monday morning that the June 5 fire that destroyed North Coast Pacific Mini Storage is not being treated as suspicious. Representatives from the fire department, RCMP, Fire C o m m i s s i o n e r ’s Office and the insurance agency spent the weekend sifting through the debris on the site, but have yet to determine what exactly started the blaze. “We found 95 per cent of everything we need to determine a cause, but that one key piece is missing,” McKenzie said, noting that the amount of debris left over and the water under the structure are making it difficult. “We know what we’re looking for and when we find it we’ll have a cause ... but it’s like trying to find a needle in a haystack.” The report of the fire reached the Prince Rupert Fire Department at 9:27 p.m. on Wednesday, but by then the structure was engulfed in flames.

Hospital to pay for anti-union actions IUOE compensation to go back two years BY SHAUN THOMAS PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

The Prince Rupert Regional Hospital (PRRH) will have to compensate members of the International Union of Operating Engineers (IUOE) who lost their jobs following the conversion of the hospital’s boiler from steam to electric. The Labour Relations Board (LRB) previously ruled that Northern Health and PRRH management acted in an anti-union manner when undertaking the conversion, with some memos noting the move was being done

“I leave it to the parties to work out the amount each union members is owed.” - Bruce Wilkins in part to eliminate the IUOE from the hospital following a number of grievances. In late May,

the board outlined the steps to be taken to remedy the wrong-doing. “A number of union members were given displacement notices on July 19, 2011. Some of its members were on sick leave at the material time, and one was challenging his termination through arbitration. Union members who were working at the time were given one week to exercise displacement options under the collective agreement upon receiving displacement notices,” read the ruling signed by LRB vice-chair Bruce Wilkins.

IUOE to be Fire cuts marine communication Hydro, Telus out paid for lost dues HOSPITAL from Page A1 “I have determined union members are prima facie entitled to compensation for the losses they have suffered and expenses which came about as a result of the Employer’s actions. The compensation they are entitled to will be dependent on the circumstances of each individual and subject to mitigation.” To determine the level of compensation for each affected worker, the LRB has appointed a special investigating officer to determine the fact and circumstances surrounding each employee and report back to the board to regarding compensation. “There must be a rational connection between the breach, its consequences and the remedy ... I leave it to the parties to work out the amount that each union member is owed,” wrote Wilkins. As well as compensating the workers, PRRH will have to pay the union the equivalent of dues lost following the worker displacement, was ordered to post future maintenance position under the IUOE umbrella and was issued a cease and desist order from “committing further unfair labour practices with respect to the union”. However, the union’s request to reinstate the power engineer positions was declined, as was the request for an order of costs.

FIRE from Page A1 “I got there quickly because of where I lived and when I arrived the smoke was 75-plus feet in the air, so it was already free burning. When you have a building like that with heavy timber construction and filled with boats and cars, it doesn’t take long for it to go up,” said fire chief Dave McKenzie. “The facility is completely gone. Once we got going, our objective was to protect the surrounding buildings. They took substantial heat damage, but no fire damage.” McKenzie said 16 firefighters and every piece of equipment at their disposal were dispatched to the site. Joining the firefighters on scene were members of the Prince Rupert RCMP, who were tasked with controlling the hundreds upon hundreds who came from all over town to witness the fire firsthand. Following the incident, Const. Matt Ericson said RCMP were asking people to stay in their homes during major events like this one “as this poses serious challenges for the responding agencies in getting to the incident”. Eventually, utility workers from Pacific Northern Gas and BC Hydro arrived, and at one point much of the town was cast in darkness as hydro poles near the storage building went up in flames. But the impact of the fire wasn’t only felt on land. Dan Bate of the Canadian Coast Guard said the fire knocked out communication lines in the area resulting in the repeater stations near Gill Island and the Calvert Island being unable to communicate with the Coast Guard base in Prince Rupert for approximately 21 hours. During that time, anyone placing a distress call through the usual channels was unable to do so. Crews spent the entire night and much of the next day dousing the fire and were still there the next morning to extinguish hotspots and smaller flames that were still burning.

While initial reports pointed to a possible airplane accident as a cause of the fire, those reports were dismissed by McKenzie the next day. ~With files from Todd Hamilton

Fire a loss for many in Prince Rupert Vintage cars, RVs, boats all burn

BY SHAUN THOMAS PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

“At least nobody was hurt.” That was a common phrase in Prince Rupert last week following the massive blaze that destroyed North Coast Pacific Mini Storage on the night of June 5. And while it may be true that nobody was physically hurt or perished in the fire, the impact of this incident on people in the community cannot be downplayed. Iain Cullen was following news of the fire closely – his family’s 17-and-a-half-foot Double Eagle boat complete with 115 horsepower Johnson motor was being stored in the facility. “It is insured ... but the replacement cost doesn’t come close to paying for the full replacement. It is insured for about $18,000, but it will likely be about $30,000 for a new one,” he said, noting that the boat is a big part of family fun in the summer. “We’ve had it for years and we use it up at the lake every summer for the nephews and grandchildren.” Another family who saw their property go up in flames was Bruce and Antoinette Rempel, who had a 22foot fifth wheel stored. Unfortunately for the Rempels, the RV was not insured when the building burned down. “I was about to get insurance when I got back to town, but by then it was too late,” said Antoinette. “No one expected this fire ... I don’t know what I’m going to do now.”

“Insurance can’t compensate the value of that car.” - Bill Langthorne It wasn’t just recreational vehicles that people lost on Wednesday night, others stored high-end items such as motorcycles and vintage collector cars. One of

those, a completely restored 1964 Mustang, belonged to Bill Langthorne, who was keeping it for a special day. “It was for my grandchildren. I haven’t driven it for some time, but I just had $6,000 worth of work done at A&G Autobody. My intent was to have it there in storage until my grandchildren grew up ... it was their play car, that’s what they call it. I was going to sell it last year, but my granddaughter said ‘no way papa’,” he said, noting the insurance coverage on the car isn’t a problem. “Insurance can’t compensate for the value of the car, but [it] happens.”

Where were the answers?

tanding out at Oliver Lake, it was clear something big and very wrong was happening in Prince Rupert. What started as a small thick cloud of smoke over the edge of Mount Hays was growing bigger and bigger with each passing second until it became the dominant visual in the sky. The family jumped in the truck and, just like when the house began to move back in October, my mind clicked into reporter mode as we drove back to town. Driving toward the smoke one couldn’t help but wonder if perhaps a major road had been shut down. Traffic was backed up from the corner of Frederick and 7th East back past Maverick Foods. Traffic continued to move like molasses in January as Shaun Thomas we got closer to Seal Cove Circle, at one point almost blocking access to a fire truck with sirens blaring and lights flashing. It was unquestionably the biggest traffic jam I’ve seen in the seven years of living in Prince Rupert. When we arrived, word was already circulating about a plane crash being responsible for the fire. People claimed they had seen a plane flying overhead and then dropping near the horizon. It wasn’t just at the scene, people were calling my number to tell their stories. My heart dropped a bit in my chest and immediately turned to the pilots I know in town and have flown with on trips to Haida Gwaii. But answers were nowhere to be found. While it’s understandable members of the fire department weren’t available to talk, obviously busy with battling the blaze, the silence from the RCMP was deafening. There was nobody at the site willing or able to answer media questions, and the media spokesperson said he would have some kind of comment the next morning. The next morning, while fire chief Dave Mackenzie was immediately avalable and very helpful, the RCMP advised a media release would be coming by 4 p.m. With rumours of a potential death causing a massive fire, the RCMP needed to do a better job of informing the public. They failed.

High-tech lookout Enough childish bickering keeps tabs on vessels

Letters to the editor

Editor: I would just like to express my distaste at the childish bickering taking place in the Northern View regarding Todd Hamilton. I think Wednesday’s opinion piece was really overkill as Ms. Rice and Mr. Hamilton have both stated their opinions in previous issues of The Northern View; why does Mr. Hamilton

have to say the last word? “This gentleman prefers brunettes” looked more like an angry YouTube comments section than something that belongs in the View. That’s my opinion. Dustin Woodman Prince Rupert

Time to take a stand Editor: The city’s plan to expand Prince Rupert’s municipal boundaries is just another land grab. These plans must be opposed and stopped flat in their tracks. It is time for Metlakatla to stand up and say NO to Prince Rupert mayor and councillors and say they will fight it and oppose it at all costs. Prince Rupert gave the Prince Rupert Port Authority charge of the waterfront land and consequently there were fences put up throughout the whole waterfront (sic). This makes people think they are in jail, locked out and not allowed free access to traditional lands and beaches and trails. I say no. What does municipal boundaries mean

“It is time for Metlakatla to stand up and say no to Prince Rupert” - Danny Leighton anyway? We already have traditional Tsimshian boundaries on these lands and we say no to further boundary lockouts. Stand up Metlakatla and back down Prince Rupert city council. Danny Leighton Prince Rupert

Avoiding a byelection Editor: We have seven councillors at city hall. In the last election there were more than seven running for the position. If and when Jennifer Rice steps down as councillor, why could the person who came in eighth not be called in? They were the voters’ next choice.

That way we save the cost of an election. Seems to me to be a reasonable solution for a financially troubled city. If the city’s bylaws don’t allow a sensible fiscal solution such as this, then the mayor and councillors should change the rules. Elaine Calli Prince Rupert

Report shows PRPA conflict Editor: I wish to congratulate you all for the extensive article in the May 29 issue of the newspaper, B.C.’s new coal harbour. The article spells out clearly why Port Authorities should never be given the lead role

in any environmental review process, such as the Prince Rupert Port Authority has been given with several of the major developments either completed, underway or planned for this area. Brian Denton Prince Rupert

RE:PORT

he marine shipping world has been improving the safety and reliability of global trade for thousands of years. Many of its recent milestones have come in the form of conventions that are signed and followed by trading nations. One of the major breakthroughs in vessel safety was the introduction of the Automatic Identification System (AIS), an electronic tracking system used on ships and by vessel traffic services for identifying and locating vessels. In 2000, the International Maritime Authority (IMO) adopted a new requirement for all ships of 300 gross tonnes and above to carry AIS on international voyages. The system is capable of automatically providing information about the ship to other vessels—and to coastal authorities. In Canada, this new requirement was implemented in the form of the federal Navigational Safety Regulations, which came into force in May 2005. AIS was originally developed to prevent collisions between large ships that are out of the range of shore-based communication systems. However, marine radar remains the primary method of collision prevention for shipping worldwide since it does not rely on Very High Frequency (VHF) radio communications—and because not all vessels are equipped with AIS. Marine radar is also essential because it can be combined with chart plotters and other instruments to provide the bearing and distance of any obstructions to navigation, including logs and small boats. AIS acts as a valuable supplementary safety system with its ability to track other vessel traffic and exchange important data with mariners and regulators. Another important function of the AIS is to broadcast the positions and names of objects other than vessels, such as the many Aids to Navigation that provide directional assistance along the British Columbia coastline. These include everything from lighthouses to beacons and buoys, some of which transmit data that indicate the marker’s position, weather and current conditions. AIS is also important for marine search and rescue operations. It provides the status of ships in the vicinity of an emergency, enhancing awareness of available resources. The Canadian Coast Guard (CCG) uses AIS to enhance its ability to monitor vessels approaching and operating in Canadian waters. CCG is responsible for operating the shore-based component of the national AIS network. This infrastructure is integrated with CCG’s Marine Communications and Traffic Services centres, and has resulted in 113 remote sites across Canada fitted with AIS systems that track vessels within 40 to 50 nautical miles of shore. At the Port of Prince Rupert, AIS is used by Coast Guard and other marine industry organizations including operations staff at the Prince Rupert Port Authority. From the Port Security Operations Centre, staff can access a ship’s name, course and speed, classification, call sign, and other valuable data that contribute to the safety and security of port operations.

Ridley burning underway

PAVING SEASON

BY MARTINA PERRY PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

At Your Service

If you see smoke billowing from Ridley Island this month or in August, don’t be alarmed. The Prince Rupert Port Authority (PRPA) wants to inform the public open burning will be happening at the Ridley Island Industrial Site, with wood debris resulting from ongoing construction of the Road, Rail and Utility Corridor (RRUC) project being burned. “In order to clear the way for construction a lot of debris had to be moved away from the future site of the Road, Rail and Utility Corridor ... burning is the most efficient way of [disposing of debris],” said Michael Gurney, manager of corporate communications for the Prince Rupert Port Authority, adding the debris consists of organic matter including small trees and shrubs. The port initially started scorching debris earlier this year, but ceased after smoke was impacting Port Edward. The PRPA said it “has attempted to minimize inconvenience for local residents by establishing an Open Burning Protocol”, which will restrict burning to months that historically have offered the best wind and venting conditions. The burning will happen on and off at the northeast side of Ridley Island, with Gurney saying weather will be watched closely to ensure there aren’t any extensive impacts on neighbouring operations or residents. Anyone with comments, concerns or questions is asked to call the Community Comment Line at (250) 627-5621 or e-mail pcorp@rupertport.com.

Port preparing for cruise season MS Regatta arriving on Saturday BY SHAUN THOMAS PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

On June 15, the MS Regatta will be pulling into Northland Terminal to kick off the 2013 cruise season, and volunteers are preparing to welcome passengers to the North Coast. This year there will be nine cruise ships carrying up to 4,856 passengers, and Prince Rupert Port Authority manager of corporate communications Michael Gurney said the goal is to give visitors an experience they won’t soon forget. “The Prince Rupert Port Authority has been working collaboratively

with a number of other agencies, including Tourism Prince Rupert and the volunteer ambassadors to build on the success of previous years,” he said. “This year the focus has been on growing that collaborative work, so we have been inviting new organizations to greet cruise passengers. We expect this first vessel call to be a colourful and memorable experience.” While other cruise ships will follow the 684-passenger MS Regatta, Gurney said the importance of the first visit of 2013 can’t be understated. “It is important for a couple of

Jewels can be a bit timid at times, but once she warms up to you she is a very sweet little girl. Due to the amount of matting in her fur, Jewels had to have a special haircut and is shaved all over with the exception of her head and tail. She would enjoy a home that could spend lots of time with her, seeing as she doesn’t always like being left alone. Could Jewels be the right match for you?

Pettersen wins Jubilee Holkestead takes low net

BY TODD HAMILTON PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

Todd Hamilton / The Northern View

Aina Pettersen of Terrace, left, shot a ﬁnal round 86 to capture the Prince Rupert Ladies Jubilee Golf Tournament on Sunday at the Prince Rupert Golf Course. Rose Holkested, right, of Prince Rupert ﬁnished three-back on her way to capturing the low net with a 36-hole total of 153. For complete tournament results, check the Northern Connector on Friday.

Terrace’s Aina Pettersen fended off soggy conditions and a late charge by Prince Rupert’s Rose Holkested to capture the Prince Rupert Ladies Jubilee on Sunday. Pettersen entered the final round with a threestroke lead and despite widening it to five by the 17th hole, Holkested made her work for the win. Holkested holed a lengthy putt on 17 for birdie and then the jitters hit Pettersen on the tee at 18. “That’s when I got nervous,” Pettersen said. “I [drive] the ball into the bush and I’m three off the tee ... I’m thinking, no don’t break down now.” Pettersen collected herself and managed to only drop one shot on the final hole to record a 36-hole total of 180. Holkested matched Pettersen’s final round 86 to capture the low net. “For the conditions we had, it was incredible,” Holkested said. “That was one of my best rounds ... we just fed off each other.”

Sportsmanship key at 3-on-3 BY BEVERLY GAUDETTE PRINCE RUPERT / Special to The Northern View

Seafest 2013 marked the 15th Annual Jim Ciccone Memorial 3-on-3 Basketball Challenge. Jim Ciccone was born and raised in Prince Rupert, was completely committed to community and loved to play basketball — he did everything to make sure that children had the opportunity to play basketball. He was very involved in the All-Native Basketball Tournament Organization and it was that Committee that began the 3-on-3 Basketball Challenge at Seafest in his honour after his tragic death. They also established the Jim Ciccone Memorial Bursary Fund and this 3-on- 3 tournament funds the scholarship award. This year, there were 34 teams competing in seven divisions. There was some good, stiff competition and, in true Prince Rupert spirit, all games were played outdoors, sometimes in the pouring rain, with no complaints. Unfortunately two players in the Men’s Division were ejected from the tournament because of displays of poor sportsmanship — which completely goes against the spirit of the Seafest atmosphere and against what Jim Ciccone and the tournament named for him, stood

for — to have fun and play fair. The organizing committee sends out a huge thank you to the referees, scorekeepers and all the volunteers who gave of their time in order that the 3-on-3 Basketball Challenge could happen. Special mention goes out to Conrad Lewis and his family, who, for many years, were the principle organizers of the tournament. Jim Ciccone’s wife, Betty, was on hand to present the awards to the winners. Scoring by division: semi-final; final: Grades 2/3: Gooders (7) vs. Four Amigos (3); Little Ballerz (4) vs. Gooders (7) Grades 4/5 : Ironman 4 (5) vs. All Stars (6); Thunder (5) vs. All Stars (2) Grades 6/7: Knights (1) vs. Dream Team (6); Coast Tsimshian (3) vs. Dream Team (7) Grades 8/9: Funky Town Monkies (1) vs. Blue Demons (7); Team LeBron (3) vs. Blue Demons (7) Grades 10-12: Tropics (3) vs. Funky Fresh Boys (7) Smokin’ Trees & Strokin’ Threes (7) vs. Funky Fresh Boys (5) Women’s: Aguirre’s Golfers (6) vs. Rookies (9) The Young Workers (6) vs. Rookies (11) Men’s House: (W-by forfeit) vs. Rupert Them Haislas (11) vs. House (2) Rough Riders (L)

Pacific Northwest LNG hosts open house By Martina Perry PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

Pacific Northwest LNG, the group proposing a liquefied natural gas (LNG) liquefaction and export facility on Lelu Island, held open houses in Prince Rupert and Port Edward last week. “The purpose of the open houses is to get feedback from the community on their thoughts and opinions on the project to see if there’s any particular areas of concern because we’re in the early stages of our design process. Now is a really good time to encourage the community to have a say in that,” said Tessa Gill, head of stakeholder management for Pacific Northwest LNG. Eleven individuals working on the Pacific Northwest LNG project, including the project leader, were in attendance at both open houses answering people’s technical questions involving aspects such as environment, marine, engineering, First Nations engagement and more.

The first open house was held in Port Edward, with approximately 30 people showing up, followed by Prince Rupert’s open house where an estimated 65 people dropped in. “Most of the areas of interest that people might have for the facility were represented,” Gill said. According to Gill, people at the open houses were interested in employment and training opportunities, not just during the construction period but for the long-term, as well as the environmental concerns associated with the project. Additionally, a visual impact photo was also shown at open houses displayed what the facility would look like from Port Edward’s school. Gill said people didn’t give a strong response either way about how the view would be impacted, but were pleased the photo was made available. Information gathered from open houses will be used as part of the environmental assessment process.

In May, the terminal handled 41,249 TEUs, down 10 per cent from 46,043 TEUs last May. Imports through Fairview Terminal dropped 12 per cent this May compared to last, sitting at 23,819 TEUs compared to 27,024 TEUs. While exports were down eight per cent overall, the number of loaded containers being shipped out was actually up 15 per cent and that was offset by a 40 per cent drop in empty TEUs being shipped out. Those numbers follow a 43 per cent year-over-year drop in March and a 13 per cent drop in April So far in 2013 Fairview Terminal has handled 219,941 TEUs compared to 219,722 TEUs last year, a difference of 219 TEUs. Exports in 2013 are down three per cent, sitting at 121,476 TEUs, while imports are up four per cent, sitting at 98,465 TEUs. “The 2013 year-to-date numbers are comparable to 2012. When it comes to imports, the decline reflects a broader west coast phenomenon that saw a 17 per cent decline across western ports in March,” Michael Gurney, manager of

corporate communication for the Prince Rupert Port Authority, said. After dropping by 46 per cent yearover-year last month, Ridley Terminals had a strong rebound in May. Tonnage through the terminal was up 18 per cent, from 1.18 million tonnes to 1.39 million tonnes, led by a 318 per cent increase in petroleum coke. RTI remains on track for another record year having moved 5.14 million tonnes in 2013 compared to 4.29 million tonnes through the first five months of 2012, an increase of 20 per cent. Prince Rupert Grain tonnage fell slightly this May compared to last, increasing by five per cent, and the terminal is up 10 per cent so far this year. The number of logs being exported through the harbour climbed 199 per cent this May, reaching 89,648 tonnes, and so far this year log exports are up 76 per cent compared to last year. The Prince Rupert Port Authority is also on pace to break last year’s record tonnage. In May, Prince Rupert handled 2.36 million tonnes compared to 2.16 million last year, a difference of nine per cent, and so far in 2013 the port has handled 13 per cent more tonnage than 2012. “Overall year-to-date numbers are consistently impressive ... we’re confident the performance of all terminals will remain steady for the remainder of 2013,” said Gurney.

Four more riding for cancer Fundraising ongoing for weekend ride BY MARTINA PERRY PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

Martina Perry / The Northern View

Six-year-old Ryder Rochon’s stuffed animal Perry the Platypus receives medical attention as part of Northern Health’s Teddy Bear Clinic held on June 1. The event had children bring in their favourite stuffed toy to be a patient at the Prince Rupert Regional Hospital in an effort to help kids learn about the hospital and feel less anxious about visiting it when neccessary.

Brucejack Gold Mine Project Federal Funding Available The Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency is making available funding to support the participation of the public and of Aboriginal groups in the federal environmental assessment of the Brucejack Gold Mine Project located in British Columbia. Funding will be provided to eligible individuals and groups to enable their participation in upcoming steps of the environmental assessment such as consultation related to the Environmental Impact Statement and consultation on the draft Environmental Assessment Report. Applications received by July 6, 2013 will be considered. Recipients and the amount of funding allocated will be announced at a later date. To apply for funding or for more information on the project and the environmental assessment process, visit the Agency's website at www.ceaa-acee.gc.ca (registry reference number 80034) or contact the Participant Funding Program by writing to PFP.PAFP@ceaa-acee.gc.ca or by calling 1-866-582-1884. As part of the strengthened and modernized Canadian Environmental Assessment Act, 2012 put in place to support the government's Responsible Resource Development Initiative, the Agency is conducting a federal environmental assessment of this project. This project is being assessed using a science-based approach. If the project is permitted to proceed to the next phase, it will continue to be subject to Canada's strong environmental laws, rigorous enforcement and follow-up and increased fines. The proposed project Pretium Resources Inc. is proposing the construction, operation and decommissioning of a gold-silver underground mine located approximately 65 km north-northwest of Stewart, B.C. The proposed project would produce approximately 16 million tonnes of mineralized material at a rate of up to 2,700 tonnes per day over a minimum 16-year mine life.

Four more cyclists from Prince Rupert are preparing for the BC Ride to Conquer Cancer, taking place this weekend. The 2013 ride will be the first for the Rupert Peddle Pushers, consisting of Kaarlene Lindsay, Sharon Oksey, Tina Cann and Sherry Beal, who all decided to participate in the ride after being affected by the disease. “All of our families and friends have been touched by cancer in one way, shape or form. We thought this could be our way to help the cancer foundation find a cure,” said Oksey, who has a number of family members and friends who are currently battling some form of the disease. “It strikes anyone at any age,” she added. The Ride to Conquer Cancer benefits the BC Cancer Foundation, which supports leading clinicians, scientists and researchers working toward finding a cure for cancer. Beal approached her Northwest Community College co-workers Lindsay and Oksey over a year ago, with Cann asking to join the group later in 2012. The two-day cycling journey starts in Vancouver on June 15, with cyclers travelling across the U.S. Boarder to the finish line. Both Oksey and Lindsay agreed they are looking forward to crossing the finish line in Seattle on June 16. “It’s not going to be easy, it’s a long ride,” Lindsay said. “It’s going to be a huge, exciting event, with a lot of energy.” Oksey and Lindsay told The Northern View they have been biking at every opportunity to prepare for the ride, with each of the four ladies training individually. Lindsay has rode out to Tyee and back two days in a row, which she estimates is two

“All of our families have been touched by cancer in one way, shape or form.” - Sharon Oksey hours less than what she will have to travel during the Ride to Conquer to Cancer this weekend. Oksey also went out on the highway for training, however approached a bear along the way. “It’s hard training by yourself,” she said. Each rider participating in the Ride to Conquer Cancer must raise $2,500. The Rupert Peddle Pushers team have collected money individually, and have put on a loonie auction, 50/50 draws, seafood raffle and did a huge bottle drive. Cann and Beal have both already raised the necessary $2,500 to participate in the ride, however Beal is now unable to take part in the ride as she is now on crutches. Both Lindsay and Oksey have a bit of fundraising left to do, and are able to collect the remaining portion of the $2,500 for a short period longer. As well, Lindsay is looking for a business or sponsor to come forward to provide transportation for her and her bike from Vancouver to Prince Rupert due to unforseen circumstances with the planned driver. Anyone interested in donating to their Ride to Conquer Cancer fundraising efforts is encouraged to go online at www. conquercancer.ca or by calling (250) 624-5980. Any sponsor able to help Lindsay can also e-mail klindsay@nwcc.bc.ca.

New management tours at North Pacific Cannery By Martina Perry PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

As the 2013 tourism season approaches, the North Pacific Cannery is undergoing changes aimed at improve visitor’s time at the national historic site, while also drawing in people from Prince Rupert and Port Edward. Stephanie Puleo became the new manager of North Pacific Cannery in April after working in community engagement at Science World for nearly 10 years. “From the first day I came out here I really appreciated the significance of the site. It truly is a national treasure,” she said. Puleo plans to use her community engagement skills to connect people from Prince Rupert and Port Edward with the cannery, and is already thinking of community events to hold at the facility in 2014, the 125 anniversary of the North Pacific Cannery’s establishment. “I’m looking forward to setting up some special events for next year ... we are definitely going to be planning some big celebrations,” she said. Puleo said in her new role she hopes to bring what the cannery currently has to offer to the next level. “The main thing I want to focus on this season is making sure we continue to offer services we have in the past, and improving where we can,” she said. With some changes to tours of the cannery taking place, Puleo encourages Prince Rupert and Port Edward residents to revisit the site. “It’s such an amazing setting and a great place to connect with the local history. People can learn a little bit more every time they come out here. There’s definitely a lot to take in,” Puleo said. North Pacific Cannery has split up its full tour of the

establishment into two tours, the industry tour and the Cannery Life tour, with tours currently alternating each hour throughout the day. When the season gets busier tours will be available concurrently. There are now regularly scheduled tours of the cannery taking place every hour, starting at 10 a.m. until four p.m. The industry tour begins in the can loft, showcasing both the manual and automatic systems of how cans were built throughout operations of the cannery. Old machinery used to reform flatten cans is working, and is demonstrated on tours. On the industry tour visitors can also witness each step of the manual and mechanized canning line systems, with much of the equipment from the mechanized line also operating. People are educated on the fishing methods used to collect the fish canned at the site during production, the function of the working dock and reduction plant. The newest portion of the industry tour includes a look through the old machine shop, which has just been added to the tour this year. The second tour, the Cannery Life, explores the residential and commercial parts of the site, where workers lived. On this tour, people begin in the First Nations Village where they can view the inside of two reconstructed cabins displaying what Aboriginal workers’ living conditions were at the cannery, as well as the First Nations net loft, which doubled as an area for gillnets to be stored and a recreation area for dances, potlatches and family events. People taking the tour get to view the area where the manager’s house, the largest single-family property on the site, and other European accommodations sit, although they aren’t part of the tour. Visitors can get an inside look at the company office,

the pies, the cinnamon buns. Nothing comes from a box.” As for restoration occurring at the cannery, Puleo said efforts to continue the reconstruction the working dock will start up again this fall, with the reinstating the labelling machinery and box making machinery in the main canning building exhibit also taking place in the near future. Puleo said they are expecting new artifacts to arrive at the cannery next year. North Pacific Cannery was established in 1889 and ran continuously for close to a century. Today, the cannery is the oldest remaining on the West Coast of North American.

“We want to bring the cage back to its original days of the mess hall.”

CANNERY from Page A17 The tour further informs visitors on Chinese and Japanese worker accommodations, which are no longer standing at the facility. Self exploration of the cannery is also available, with the installation of new graphic panels along the canning line allowing individuals to understand what equipment was used for without a tour guide. This year, the Cannery Cafe is open every weekend until peak season in July and August, when it will be open seven days a week. Cheryl Chamberlain, new chef at the Cannery Cafe, has more than 20 years experience in culinary arts. In that time, Chamberlain owned a catering company and was the head chef for Sage Tapas and Winebar in Nelson, which won best restaurant in the community for a number of years in a row. “We want to bring the cafe back to its original days of the Mess Hall, where they offered foods like stews and soups, chowders, good sandwiches, homemade breads, biscuits and cinnamon buns,” Chamberlain said. “Everything that’s made here is done from scratch.

RCM-SAR 64 crew help retrieve jumper/divers from the water and safely transport them to their designated vessels during an April 30 training exercise.

Search and rescue recruiting Question: What do graphic artists, IT administrators, lawyers, engineers, divers, managers, paramedics, sales people and bankers have in common? Answer: They are all dedicated to saving lives on the water through their involvement with the local Royal Canadian Marine Search and Rescue station, RCM-SAR 64. They are also looking for others in the community to join them and will be holding a recruitment and information session on Thursday, June 13 from 5:30 pm to 6:30 pm at the Prince Rupert Curling Club. “Diversity is one of our strengths,” says Shawn Petriw, President of the Prince Rupert Marine Rescue Society, the non-profit organization associated with RCM-SAR 64. “We have members from many different walks of life and that variety of skills and backgrounds that are a real asset to accomplish all the things that need to get done to run a high-performance volunteer station and serve our community.” That diverse background, combined with a comprehensive, ongoing training system keeps members of RCM-SAR 64 skilled, prepared and flexible. From answering Mayday calls at a moment’s notice to being aboard the safety vessel for community events such as Dragon Boat Days

and SeaFest, crew members are active year-round, with numerous crews on the water each week training in boat handling, navigation, first aid, leadership, and search and rescue techniques. “We are also hoping to implement a number of SAR prevention and safety programs for the community this year,” said Petriw, “and those activities would be ideal for people who want to be involved without the rigorous training crew members are expected to keep up with.” Some of these programs include Kids Don’t Float, a child-sized PFD lending program, a free Pleasure Craft Safety Check, and a new Vessel Safety Survey program. “And like all non-profits, we need to make sure the business side of our organization is shipshape,” said Petriw. “We’re always looking for those skilled in administration and board development to join our ranks and contribute at the board level.” Those looking for a challenging and rewarding opportunity to serve their community are encouraged to attend the recruitment and information session and confirm their attendance by e-mail at info@marinerescue.ca or by calling Shawn Petriw at 250-600-0945.

Enbridge ignored islands, say Haida BY MARTINA PERRY PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

In its final argument to the Enbridge Northern Gateway (ENG) Joint Review Panel, the Haida Nation claims the company essentially ignored them and the concerns of Haida Gwaii. The Haida say the application is “incomplete” as it doesn’t have information specific to Haida Gwaii nor consider any impacts to the islands, and that approval of the project would be against the law because it does not contain a full impact assessment relate to Haida Gwaii and the Haida people. “The potential for significant adverse impacts upon the environment of Haida Gwaii and the culture of the Haida resulting from an oil spill is so large that a focused and thorough environmental assessment of the potential impacts of the Northern Gateway Project on Haida Aboriginal Rights and Title in Haida Gwaii (including the surrounding marine

“It is the people in the boardrooms ... who will benefit while we take all the risk.” - Peter Lantin environment) should have been conducted,” reads the filing. “ENG failed to conduct an environmental assessment for Haida Gwaii because, in its view, the potential for an oil spill in the [open water area] is too low. While ENG acknowledges concerns regarding potential spills – and admits that there could be significant adverse consequences from such a spill – ENG takes the position that an environmental assessment is not necessary, in part, because ‘the marine transportation route segments within

the open water area are considered to have a very low spill probability relative to other areas’. The Haida disagree.” The Haida also note that Enbridge representatives could not confirm whether they had discussed potential implications to Gwaii Haanas with Parks Canada or the Gwaii Haanas Archipelago Marine Board during the consultation process and Parks Canada has not informed the Haida of any such consultations. Haida Nation President Peter Lantin said the lack of information related to Haida Gwaii is simply unacceptable. “It is the people in the boardrooms of Calgary who will benefit while we will bear all the burden of risk,” he said. “It is not in the ‘National Interest’ to put corporate profits and foreign interests before those of the original peoples and Canadian citizens, or to put at risk the waters that provide for all of us.”

The Skeena – Queen Charlotte Regional District will be undertaking a review of how Sandspit is governed as part of its 18-month strategic planning. The unincorporated Sandspit is currently considered Electoral Area E of the regional district, and representative Evan Putterill said people in the community are looking for a change. “This came about with concerns from Sandspit about the services provided by the regional district and the regional district’s inability to meet all of the needs when it comes to local government,” he said, attributing part of that to the distance between Sandspit and Prince Rupert location of administration staff. “It has created a disconnect. A lot of people want to see Sandspit take control of its own destiny.” The regional district created a group called the Moresby Island Management Committee to look at some of the needs of Sandspit, but Putterill said that committee has run into some problems within the district. “The regional district designated power to the committee, but over the past three years that power has diminished because for some of the power delegated, there were no service bylaws or regulations created,” he said, pointing to issues surrounding the Sandspit community hall and its operations. “We’re looking to have one governance structure in place. That may be a committee under the regional district with the necessary authority or it may be a whole different government.” Another concern of Sandspit the regional district will be examining is the quality of the water in town.

Water quality a major concern

One of seven longhouses being constructed on Haida Gwaii as part of a tourism initiative of the Old Massett Village Council.

SANDSPIT from Page B1 Putterill said the levels of carcinogenic water disinfectant byproducts that form when organics interact with chlorine are above Canadian drinking water standards and the level of haloacetic acids above the levels recommended by the World Health Organization but barely below those permitted in Canada. “This is not a problem unique to this community, but we do have a bad case of it ... the solution is to remove the organics from the water and a centralized water treatement plant is the only way to do that,” said Putterill, noting a group in

Old Massett seeking funds for tourist longhouses

town is looking at nanofiltration to address the issue. These two issues are among five strategic priorities for the regional district board between now and October, 2014, with the others being leadership and advocacy, emergency planning and preparedness and recycling on Haida Gwaii. “I am happy these two issues made it to the strategic plan after it was narrowed down,” said Putterill. “I think they got the others right, but these were the two that are important to me and my constituents.

$250,000 needed for project BY MARTINA PERRY PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

The Old Massett Village Council is close to completing a large scale project, but needs financial assistance to get there. Old Massett has been working toward constructing the Hiellen Longhouse Accommodation Village on a beach in the heart of the Naikoun Provincial Park. The village would act as a camping ground in the summer season, where visitors can camp and experience an authentic Haida experience including cultural tours being offered. “The purpose is to educate people about our culture in a respectful way, and participate in the tourism industry instead of sitting on the sidelines and watching it happen,” said Patricia Moore, economic development planner for the Old Masset Village Council. Moore said the project would also create potential jobs for people operating businesses to accommodate tourists. In the off-season the camp would be used as a gathering place for community programming, although exactly what the programming will be is still being worked out. Revenue made in summer months would be put back into the operation and maintenance of the camp and keeping the cost of offseason programs down. Another perk of the project for Haida Gwaii is that the Old Massett Village has kept the construction work local, providing students from Haida Gwaii with the opportunity to work on the longhouses to earn the training they need. The idea has been in the works for some time, with $1.2 million in fundraising getting it to its current state. Currently, the only completed structure is the 1,500-square-foot Welcome House with a 2,400-square-foot traditional longhouse,

“The purpose is to educate people about our culture in a respectful way.” - Patricia Moore which could accommodate more than 20 people, is approximately two weeks away from completion. Old Massett hopes to complete seven 500-square-foot traditional longhouses, which could accommodate four people each. Currently four of the longhouses are approximately a month away from completion, with the foundations of the remaining three being complete. Moore started the Longhouse Living campaign on Indiegogo.com to try and collected much-needed funds to complete the project. The Old Massett Village Council estimates it will need $250,000 to complete the project. This money would mean the completion of the small longhouses, the creation of a replicated totem pole that once stood on the site, providing work experience to assist apprentice carpenters in finishing their training, running a small wood furnituremaking course for three youth and one elder in training, as well as running a small Haida Art Mentorship Program for four weeks with a Master Painter to paint the longhouse frontals with traditional Haida designs. Moore is expecting the grand opening of the campground to take place in June of 2014, with the totem pole being raised at the grand opening.
