Sun Wave to appeal loss

Alaska blamed for Skeena closure Page A3

The City of Prince Rupert may have to wait a couple more years before the potentially-lucrative lands at the old Skeena Cellulose Pulp Mill can go up for sale. A BC Supreme Court struck down Sun Wave’s petition to nullify the city’s tax sale and return the lands, but the Chinese-owned company has already filed a notice of appeal that prohibits the city from selling the property. Should this latest appeal fail, Sun Wave - Jack Mussallem has one final option with the Supreme Court of Canada. It’s unlikely the company will be granted that step as it’s very difficult to get leave for Canada’s highest court, but if they do it could be two years before the city can put the legal wrangling behind them. The city has disputed ownership of the lands on Watson Island since 2010. “Someone’s always got the right of appeal and therein lies the problem,” Prince Rupert mayor Jack Mussallem said.

“Enough is enough.”

Ferry workers labour contract helps city Union agrees to zero per cent increase over two years

Digby Island ferry workers are helping the City of Prince Rupert save money during financial hardship. Following the end of the worker’s labour contract with the city, council and the Canadian Merchant Service Guild, the union to which Digby Island ferry workers belong to, ratified a new two-year agreement. Workers agreed to a zero per cent wage freeze over the life of the new contract to help save the city money. “Council would like to thank the

guild members for recognizing the difficult situation the city finds itself in. By working together to benefit all the taxpayers within the city, the city is charting a new era of management/ union cooperation,” Mayor Jack Mussallem said. “The ferry workers are residents that are active in the community, they’re involved and they recognize the city is having a hard time. We’ve had a number of years of dormancy here without anything being build that contributes to the tax roll. Recognizing that, they’ve decided to do what they can to support the

community in this time.” Edd Langelier, business agent for the Canadian Merchant Service Guild, said the union was bargaining for “a reasonable wage increase” but said the union didn’t have an amount in mind. “The city is hard pressed for money. Things will get better in a few years down the road,” Langelier said. “Our guys are happy, and I hope the citizens of Prince Rupert are happy with what we’ve done.” Additionally, the guild has agreed to work with city management in increasing revenues and decreasing

expenditures. “The guild and its members were appreciative of the city’s financial circumstances and will work closely with management to save the substantial cross subsidization the city taxpayers pay toward the Digby Island Ferry,” Bob Long, Prince Rupert city manager, said. “We’re always looking for efficiencies and schedule adjustments to the operation. Because they run the boat and keep track of the loads, there may be some opportunities to gain some efficiencies and to also increase revenue,” Mussallem said.

Enough is enough: Mayor SUN WAVE from Page A1 “First and foremost, the city has won three times now. I think in the eyes of the law it’s pretty conclusive.” Faced with the potential of a years-long wait before the appeals processes runs its course, Mussallem is pushing forward on a resolution with the B.C. Union of Municipalities to change legislation so litigation like this doesn’t prove so crippling to municipal budgets. He said the city has paid approximately $250,000 on each of Sun Wave’s appeals. - Jack Mussallem In the meantime, Mussallem is also pursuing the B.C. minister responsible for municipal affairs to use provisions under the Municipal Enabling and Validating Act to force an end to Sun Wave’s appeals. “It’s gone through the legal process enough times that it’s now starting to be considered an abuse of the legal process. Enough is enough.” In 2006, the city approved a multi-million-dollar tax break to help Sun Wave restart the shuttered pulp mill on Watson Island, but when the company stalled on their commitments the city seized the property for unpaid taxes, after amending the tax bylaw that paved the way for the tax break. The city wants to sell the land to a consortium of stakeholders for a new industrial park and port facility, but that can’t happen until SunWave’s lawsuits are resolved.

“... in the eyes of the law it’s pretty conclusive.

Hawkair flight declares emergency Prince Rupert-bound plane returns to YVR BY MARTINA PERRY PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

Passengers flying from Vancouver to Prince Rupert on July 14 received a scare when the DeHavilland Dash-8 (DHC-8) aircraft they were travelling on declared an emergency and had to turn around and land in Vancouver. John Cottreau, manager of media relations at the Transportation Safety Board, said the Hawkair DHC-8 aircraft was about 600 feet above sea level after take-off from Vancouver when an issue arose. The plane’s torque, fuel flow and power turbine speed began to decrease on the No. 2 engine. With that, the DHC-8’s propeller auto-feathered. “Propellers can change their pitch so that they’re either gathering more air or less air. They can either slice into the air better which provides torque, or they can feather which they go into a neutral position and basically become fans,” Cottreau said. “They keep turning but they’re not producing power for the aircraft... to give lift.” The crew shut the engine down,

A Prince Rupert-bound Hawkair ﬂight was forced to turn back to Vancouver after pilots were forced to shut down one engine.

and with the remaining one engine managed to climb to 1,500 feet above sea level. The crew completed the “failure in flight” checklist items and then declared an emergency. Cottreau said when an aircraft declares an emergency air traffic control clears the way for the plane to land, putting it as a priority over any other aircraft attempting to occupy the runway. “They got back to [the air traffic control] and were cleared to land in Vancouver where they landed uneventfully,” Cottreau said. After the plane returned to YVR

maintenance found and replaced a faulty torque signal condition unit, and the aircraft was re-entered into service. Cottreau said he doesn’t want to speculate what could have happened had the failure occurred later in the flight, but focus on the fact that the emergency landing was uneventful. Statistics by the Transportation Safety Board of Canada show there were 260 incidents where Canadian aircrafts declared an emergency in 2012. Aircraft incidents are circumstances where no one is injured.

Low numbers forces sockeye closure B.C. groups blame Alaskan fleet By quinn bender PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

An abysmal return of sockeye salmon to the Skeena River, possibly the lowest in 50 years, has shut down the commercial fishing season. The latest estimates from the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) pegs the number of sockeye at just 453,000, almost half of what they predicted earlier this month. The numbers need to be at least 1.05 million to support the commercial fishery, and 800,000 for recreational. First Nations have been asked to limit their food, social and ceremonial fishing activities, but if the numbers dip below 400,000 that too will be shut down. On average approximately 1 million Skeena sockeye are caught commercially each year, according to the The United Fishermen and Allied Workers’ Union. As to why the numbers plummeted this year, the DFO is looking into the salmon’s early ocean survival period. “Babine Lake may have been a problem, where they were coming out smaller than they need to be,” Mel Kotyk, DFO North Coast Area director, said. “We’re looking at

some of the other species, particularly chinook, and there might be some indication they’re following a similar trend. So it might just be that particular year when they went out to sea.” BC conservation groups are putting the blame partially on the Alaskan salmon fishery. While the groups admit the cause of the apparent collapse is not known, SkeenaWild Conservation Trust, Watershed Watch Salmon Society, and Raincoast Conservation Foundation are now calling on the State to “put conservation ahead of short-term commercial interests” by allowing more Skeena sockeye to make it home to spawn. “The Alaskans have been hitting these fish just across the border,” Greg Knox, executive director of SkeenaWild Conservation Trust, said. Pacific salmon from B.C. rivers spend their adult lives feeding in the North Pacific Ocean and swim through Alaskan waters as they make their way back to spawn in their natal rivers. The conservation groups claim commercial net fisheries in southeast Alaska catch up to 20 per cent of all sockeye returning to the Skeena River, often as by‐catch in fisheries targeting Alaskan pink and chum salmon. The Canada-US Pacific Salmon Treaty,

Sockeye returns on the Skeena River may be at their lowest levels in 50 years.

which covers fisheries on both sides of the border, does not prohibit the capture of B.C. stocks in Alaskan waters. The group is asking Alaska to move it’s fishery away from B.C.bound sockeye salmon. “The Alaskan State constitution would require Alaska to take action were these to be Alaskan stocks of concern,” Aaron Hill, a biologist with Watershed Watch Salmon Society, said. “We hear a lot about how well‐ managed these Alaskan fisheries are, but when it comes to B.C. salmon swimming through their waters, they’re not walking the talk.” However, Scott Walker with the Alaska Department of Fish and Game in Ketchikan, was surprised to hear these allegations, saying his

department is going “above and beyond” their obligations to the Pacific Salmon Treaty. He adds Alaskan fleets do by-catch Skeena salmon, but nowhere near the numbers the conservation groups have claimed. “Based on all of my discussions with the Canadians [DFO] this season, which have been quite extensive — probably unprecedented in recent years, we’ve actually curtailed our fishery and fished only half of the time we normally would, primarily based on what we’ve been hearing about the Skeena,” says Walker. “The bottom line is, we’re going to probably lose [up to] 400,000 pink salmon in this conservation measure we’re doing. And it certainly isn’t very popular with the [Alaskan] fleet.”

Green MLA on coal and controversy

fter climate scientist-turnedGreen Party MLA Andrew Weaver had a taste of debate in the B.C. legislature, I asked him for his impressions on that and other issues. Excerpts from that discussion: TF: You did a study comparing burning all the world’s coal reserves and all oil reserves, showing how big coal really is. The federal government says that when you add up what’s actually being used in North America, Tom Fletcher carbon emissions from coal are about 30 times more than from oil. Now we have a symbolic coal export ban in Vancouver, which doesn’t apply to Port Moody or Point Roberts or Prince Rupert. Do you think there’s any significance to this? AW: There is no question that the biggest issue around is coal, because coal use is on the rise world-wide. Not in the United States, because they’re converting [power production] to natural gas. This is why American producers are saying, let’s ship it to Asia. California says no, Oregon says no, Washington says no. Vancouver says no, British Columbia, not sure. It’s pushing us to start thinking about what I think is going to be the greatest industrial revolution the world has ever seen, which is transformation of energy systems away from our combustion approach, which is essentially what we’ve been doing since we were in caves. We’ve gone from burning wood to now fossil wood, and fossil plants and fossil algae, to a much more modern era of production of energy through natural means, solar, wind, geothermal etc.

“... if we start shipping natural gas to Asia ... the Asian price comes down, the North American price goes up. British Columbians haven’t been told that.” - Andrew Weaver TF: Liquified natural gas. The NDP says they are absolutely in favour of that now. AW: I have questioned the economics of it from day one. There’s a market differential that exists now. There’s that small window because Japan is moving from nuclear to natural gas. But we’re way behind everyone else. TF: Thirty years ago, Japan played Australia and B.C. off for metallurgical coal. Those northeast B.C. coal mines are back up and running again, but you’re seeing a similar thing here? AW: Yes. And if we start shipping natural gas to Asia … the Asian price comes down, the North American price

goes up. British Columbians haven’t been told that. TF: How has the legislature session been for you? AW: I sit there and watch the two parties. Rhetorical question, condescending answer. Rhetorical question, condescending answer. And I hope more British Columbians watch this, because this needs to change. And I think it can change. TF: The NDP opposition decides when you and Delta South Independent Vicki Huntington get your occasional moments in question period? AW: Yes, and if I’ve asked it’s been no problem.

TF: Grudgingly no doubt. If the NDP had their way, the closest Green Party member would be in Holland. AW: [Laughs] Yes. Certainly not in North America. There’s this sense of entitlement within the NDP to the ‘green’ vote. And I sense that the B.C. Liberals very much like our existence, as being not NDP. The reality is, we take as many Liberal votes, if not more. It’s because what it means to be ‘green’ has moved out of what the NDP view as green, which is a tree hugger. It’s kids going to school, talking about conservation, and going home to talk to their parents. That’s where our votes are coming from. TF: Are you going to be found standing in front of a coal train any time soon? AW: No, never. They asked me to, and I said no, because I don’t believe in civil disobedience.

Coast Guard keeps Coal dust in Port Edward needs to stop marine traffic talking Letters to the editor

Editor: Open letter to Peter Kent, the Minister of Environment. I am a councillor with the District of Port Edward and I am writing you to draw attention to the coal dust issue faced by the residents of Port Edward, B.C., which has become intolerable and needs to cease immediately. The District of Port Edward has written letters in each of the past five years requesting action on the depositing of coal dust from RTI to Port Edward. Little or no substantive action has been taken by RTI and the situation has worsened as volumes have increased four-fold in the last few years. Port Edward residents already live with the background noise of RTI operations and the increased rail traffic and train whistling. Dumping coal dust on Port Edward is the final straw. Enough is enough. The residents of Port Edward are requesting your assistance in rectifying this situation. RTI is a crown corporation and as such should be showing environmental leadership. On sunny days from May through September many residents have coal dust deposited on their properties making sun decks and lawn furniture unusable until they are cleaned of the dust. We have “the right of quiet enjoyment of our properties” which is being undermined by RTI. The monitoring of coal dust ceased over 10 years ago and Environment Canada and RTI

need to reinstate this immediately. Residents and the public have the right to know the extent of the coal dust situation and if RTI is complying with their environmental Knut Bjorndal obligations. Coal dust is not harmless. People with respiratory issues can be severely affected, pets become covered in it and the dust sticks to both the exterior and interior of buildings. The exterior needs to be pressure washed to clean the coal dust. Coal dust suppression systems and the technology for controlling dust are in wide use throughout North America. These technologies should be employed by RTI immediately. The prevailing winds which cause the dust to settle on Port Edward are well understood. The winds speeds are generally less than 25 MPH with some higher gusts. The technologies being used in other coal handling facilities are able to suppress dust at a much higher wind speeds. It is time to quickly install these technologies. Port Edward’s motto is “clean, neat and green” and until RTI arrived in 1984 we were free from coal dust. I am requesting that your office and Environment Canada compel RTI to contain the coal and coal dust to their site and be constantly monitored to ensure compliance. Knut Bjorndal Port Edward

“Dumping coal dust on Port Edward is the final straw.”

Cullen mail-out is taxpayer abuse Editor: I just received the latest taxpayer-funded newsletter from our MP, Nathan Cullen. I have long been unhappy to have my tax dollars used to promote political parties but this latest issue is way over the top. Why should I be forced— through my taxes—to pay for NDP literature thinly disguised as news from Ottawa? Our tax dollars paid for the printing and postage stamps to support its “free” distribution. I have no problem with subsidizing legitimate communications between residents of SkeenaBulkley Valley and our elected representative. However, the use of this privilege to shamelessly promote the NDP and its leader is nothing short of taxpayer abuse. More than that, it’s an abuse of democracy itself.

After the last federal election, the NDP received over $10 million in “reimbursements” from Canadian taxpayers. That’s $10 million they could spend on self-promotion without using the MP’s local newsletter as a propaganda tool. To use the perks of office and incumbency to push the NDP agenda at taxpayers’ expense is self-serving and unfair to voters and the future candidates of other parties who do not have this privilege. Voters should not be forced to pay for being brainwashed. Rod Taylor Deputy Leader Christian Heritage Party Canada Telkwa, B.C.

RE:PORT

critical component of harbour safety provided by the Canadian Coast Guard (CCG) is the round-the-clock coverage of the Marine Communications and Traffic Services (MCTS) officers and equipment stationed at Prince Rupert’s Seal Cove base. Their role is to ensure the safety of life at sea, protection of the environment, and the efficient movement of commercial shipping and information for business and national interests. Of the CCG’s MCTS Regions, the Pacific Region handles more than 50% of Canada’s total vessel movements. “What we do in MCTS for vessel traffic is not unlike what flight services provide to air traffic at major airports,” says Art Statham, Officer in Charge, Prince Rupert. “The obvious difference is we’re working with ships on water, and our geographic area of responsibility in Prince Rupert extends from Alaska to Vancouver, including the Port of Prince Rupert and its vessel approaches. Our team provides professional oversight and service to this busy marine area. We also act as the equivalent to calling 9-1-1 for all emergencies on the water. Whether a vessel is lost in the fog, out of gas or sinking and on fire, we take the call and coordinate a response as required.” In 2012’s twelve-month period, Prince Rupert’s CCG MCTS logged a total of 23,214 vessel traffic movements. A portion of those calls is dedicated to vessel screening, which involves communicating with ships prior to entering Canadian waters, making sure they comply with applicable regulations and identifying any ship defects and/or deficiencies to minimize the possibility of marine pollution. MCTS staff also monitor all vessel movements, providing recommendations and directions if required, and conduct specialized surveillance that supports other government agencies like Transport Canada and the RCMP. Much of the work done by CCG MCTS directly supports work done at the Port of Prince Rupert. The vessel information collected, analyzed and shared with the Port Authority is particularly important to daily operations. The communications relayed for pilotage requests and estimated arrival times are crucial to the efficient flow of trade through the Port of Prince Rupert. Currently Prince Rupert has a total of 17 MCTS staff, who rotate in twelvehour shifts with three staff working 24/7, 365 days a year. These operations will be undergoing a significant expansion in April 2014, when Prince Rupert becomes one of two MCTS locations on the Pacific Coast. Its geographic area of coverage will encompass the entire west coast of Vancouver Island. This will mean at least nine additional MCTS staff moving to Prince Rupert within twelve months, and an increase to five staff working at any given time. “Our local Marine Communications and Traffic Services team works closely with the Harbour Master’s Office to ensure the safe and secure transit of the 450-plus commercial vessels that currently call on the Port of Prince Rupert each year,” says Gary Paulson, Harbour Master for the Prince Rupert Port Authority. “This vigilant group of eyes and ears on our waters at all time, stationed here in Prince Rupert and poised for expansion, is one of the valuable assets that will enable our port to grow in a safe, secure and sustainable manner.” We’re seeking your questions about safe shipping at the Port of Prince Rupert!

Container traffic through Fairview Terminals saw its fourth consecutive month of decline in June, down 16 per cent over this time last year. Although the year-to-date figures show a mere three per cent drop over 2012, it runs contrary to the terminal’s characteristically positive trend, sparking speculation about the future of Prince Rupert’s prized facility. Fueling the concern is the financial state of Fairview’s principal customer, Cosco. The Chinese shipping giant ranked among the worst performing of China’s 500 largest companies, reporting billion-dollar losses for the third consecutive year, resulting in the abrupt “retirement” this month of their chief executive, according to state-run Chinese media. Longshoremen at Fairview Terminals told The Northern View speculation now persists on whether the drop in container traffic signifies the start of further declines to come, or if Cosco is pulling out of Prince Rupert all together. Cosco flatly denied the speculation. “Whoever is talking to you has no idea what the hell they’re talking

about,” said Cosco Canada executive vice president, Dave Bedwell. “Cosco’s not going anywhere. We just introduced our third service to the Port of Prince Rupert.” The terminal reported 43,904 TEUs last June, down from 52,454 TEUs in June 2012. Overall container cargo is down just three per cent from last year, at 263,845 TEUs compared to 272,176. Despite the slight dip, a fourth crane is expected to be installed this summer as part of a Phase 2 expansion. It will be the first major expansion at Fairview since it opened in September 2007, and comes after the terminal exceeded its initial design capacity of 500,000 TEUs in 2012.

Robinson wins third straight title Battles back from six-shot deficit in final round BY TODD HAMILTON PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

Ian Robinson overcame a sixshot deficit heading into the final round to win his third straight Prince Rupert Golf Course Men’s Club Championship on Sunday. Robinson opened up with a disappointing seven-over 77 on Saturday but fired a 72 on Sunday to defeat first round leader Rob McDonald, who struggled to an 82 in the second round, by four strokes. “I didn’t have a very good day [on Saturday] but I thought if I could shoot in the 60s I might have a chance ... but Rob had a tough day,” Robinson said. Robinson had cut McDonald’s lead to two by the turn but it was a double bogey on No. 10 that was the turning point. Robinson’s drive went into the trees and he was forced to take a penalty. He overdrove the

green and a mediocre chip left him with a 20-footer for double bogey. “Yeah, that 20-foot save was big. Sometimes a double bogey still feels good ... it could’ve been worse.” Robinson tied it up on No. 11 with a birdie after McDonald bogeyed. “After that it was anyone’s game,” Robinson said. “I was up one by 15 and I made birdie but Rob double-bogeyed putting me up by four ... after that it was pretty much mine to lose.” Cody Forsell signed off on rounds of 79 and 76 to pick up third spot. Ten-handicapper Sandy Anderson carded a final round 78, net 68, to edge Teru Yamamoto, a 12 handicap, by two strokes to capture the Low Net Championship. Arnold Parnell, a 21 handicap, fired back-to-back 91s to finish in third place.

Todd Hamilton / The Northern View

Despite missing this three-foot putt on the ﬁnal hole, Ian Robinson claimed his third straight Prince Rupert Golf Club Men’s Club Champion title on Sunday.

McChesney leads Points North in Vancouver Prince Rupert swimmer hits the podium four times at Long Course Championships

Liam McChesney captured four medals at the 2013 AAA Long Course Championships in Vancouver.

Seven swimmers from Prince Rupert traveled to Vancouver for the 2013 AAA Long Course Championships. They teamed with swimmers from Terrace, Kitimat and Smithers to compete as “Points North. Chief among the Prince Rupert highlight was a four-medal performance by Liam McChesney (11). Liam won the silver medal in the 400 freestyle and bronze medals in the 50 freestyle, 100 backstroke and 200 backstroke. He added a pair of new Far Western qualifying times to his resume with a 30.26 50 freestyle and a 2:44.16 200 backstroke. Liam had two more near misses, as he finished fourth in the 100 freestyle and 200 freestyle.

Also finding the podium from Prince Rupert was Trey Kish (13). Trey won the silver medal in the 50 freestyle. He joined with Brander Pacheco (Kitimat), and Tanner & Bailey Espersen (Smithers) to win the silver medal in the boys 13-14 400 medley relay. Trey made three more finals, finishing fifth in the 100 freestyle, sixth in the 100 backstroke and seventh in the 200 freestyle. Avery Movold (13) fought through a vicious cold to make a trio of finals. She came fifth in the 100 backstroke, sixth in the 800 freestyle and 8th in the 400 freestyle. Avery made a pair of Far Western qualifying times with a 10:09.71 800 freestyle and a 1:12.55 100

backstroke. Amy Leighton (12) made the 12-andunder final in the 200 breaststroke where she finished eighth. Her preliminary time of 3:07.10 was good for her second Far Western qualifying time. Sarah McChesney (16) just missed her first AAA Top 8 finish by coming ninth in the 800 freestyle. Zach Dolan (11) was competing in his first AAA’s. His best finish was 14th in the 100 breaststroke. Quinn Basso (16) topped out at 19th in the 200 backstroke. The club will wrap up its season in San Jose later this month as Quinn Basso, Sarah McChesney and Brandan Hagen (15) compete at California’s Far Western Championships.

Rupert target of telephone scam, posed as Microsoft By martina perry PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

Prince Rupert RCMP are reminding people to keep their personal information private following a recent telephone scam of a Prince Rupert resident. “The Prince Rupert RCMP wants to warn the community of this suspected phone scam to prevent any further victimization. One of the best precautions one can take is to never give out personal information over the phone, internet, or to people you don’t know or trust,” Const. Matt Ericson, spokesperson for the Prince Rupert RCMP, said. The Prince Rupert RCMP Detachment received a complaint on July 5 regarding a suspected swindle that cost the victim more than $150. A male resident of Prince Rupert told RCMP he received a telephone call from two individuals posing as affiliates to Microsoft, which Ericson said potential victims should see as a red flag. “Generally these companies do not contact you, you contact them,” he said. During the conversation the alleged scammers, which the victim said sounded Indo-Canadian in ethnicity, offered to “clean up” the person’s computer to help it run faster. The callers originally said

the service was free of charge, but when they were granted remote access to the computer requested the complainant pay $159 to repair the issues they discovered. The victim paid the amount on a major credit card, and was told the process would take time to complete. After noticing changes hadn’t been made later that day, the complainant contacted RCMP. Ericson said there has only been the one scamming incident in Prince Rupert, however RCMP around the province have been advised of very similar complaints from members of the public. RCMP want to remind the public to never give any personal information over the phone, internet or unknown people. “In this day and age information is very valuable and sensitive in nature,” said Const. Ericson. Citizens can report attempted frauds, actual fraud or suspicious correspondence to PhoneBusters toll free at 1 (888) 4958501, by emailing info@phonebusters. com, or by fax at 1 (888) 654-9426. Anyone with information regarding this incident or similar ones is encouraged to call the Prince Rupert RCMP at (250) 627-0700 or Crime Stoppers at 1 (800) 222-TIPS (8477). Crime Stoppers pays cash for information leading to an arrest, without needing names of callers.

It is the jewel in Prince Rupert’s gardening crown, and for 10 years a troupe of volunteers have performed the largely-anonymous task of keeping it that way. Tucked away behind the courthouse, descending into the earth down a stepped terrace, the Sunken Gardens don’t receive nearly the amount of attention, or praise, they deserve either from the majority of Rupertites, or visitors who

run a high probability of passing through town unaware they even exist. That may soon change. To celebrate their 10th anniversary of caring for this space, The Friends of the Prince Rupert Garden Club are spearheading an ambitious plan to upgrade the Sunken Gardens’ lighting and irrigation, while establishing a much-needed promotional presence — a website, brochures and signage, as well as historical plaques to unveil the gardens’ history and identification plaques for the flowers and trees themselves. Of high

not just for ambiance along the paths, but for security in the two underground pedestrian tunnels that link into the gardens. The Club is looking at public grants to finance the $75,000 project, but it’s unlikely that will cover the full cost. The site was originally excavated in the early 20th Century for the foundation of the courthouse, but a last-minute decision pushed the construction further uphill.

Community anniversary barbecue planned GARDENS from Page A13 The gardens were planted as early as then, but during the Second World War the pit was used for munitions storage. Prior to the involvement of The Friends of the Prince Rupert Garden Club, the province hired local landscapers to maintain the property (which sits on provincial, not municipal lands). The province canceled those contracts and abandoned the site all together for four years. “It was a total disaster,” Garden Club president, Andrée Fawcett said. “I was appalled that anyone could abandon something that is such an incredible showcase for the community. It is the main garden park in Prince Rupert. As the president of the garden club, lots of people were complaining to me: what are you going to do about it?” Fawcett organized a community meeting, which more than 100 people attended. The Friends of the Prince Rupert Garden Club was formed, and they rebuilt the gardens from the ground up. They looked after the site ever since with a $16,000 annual provincial grant and approximately 40 volunteers. There are currently 8,000 flowers, plants and trees in the garden. But

before they’re planted, Fawcett and a team of four other volunteers will sit down and prepare a design plan every year, a task requiring no less than a month of planning. Between the time of sitting down for the small first meeting, to a massive undertaking of uprooting the last flower at the close of the season, more than 2,000 hours of labour will have been invested into the gardens, which even at the rate of minimum wage would otherwise cost in excess of $20,000 every year. The cost of maintaining the property doesn’t include donations from visitors and residents, nor the two full-time seasonal employees paid through federal grants. Fawcett says many residents value the gardens highly, but adds she’s amazed at how many don’t even know it exists. To raise awareness, and perhaps a little financial help for the daunting $75,000 project, she and the other volunteers plan to invite the community down later in the season for a 10th Anniversary barbecue. “I love giving so much of my time to this, as much as everyone else who’s involved. People say all the time that you can’t grow anything in Prince Rupert, and I just tell them, ‘come with me, I want to show you something.’”

Look forward to honouring her in creative and unique ways all weekend,” Rigg said. Tickets for this year’s Edge of the World Music Festival can be purchased online at www.edgefestival.com.

Ethnic outreach returns to haunt premier E-mails called inappropriate

By TOM FLETCHER

team looked at all documents and took appropriate action. The 10,000-page package includes a heavily censored string of emails that identifies Bonney as a participant. The first part appears directed at the unnamed staffer. “We will see if we can help find you something else – can you send me your resume? Send it to Brian also,” one email says. The next one says: “Have [former minister of state for multiculturalism] Harry Bloy meet with her and explain how doing anything would damage the premier and the party. Have him say how he will try to find her work and get her back involved. “If need be, offer x dollars per month to do non-public work up to the election (developing her database of potential supporters).” Clark said the email was examined in the review, led by her deputy minister John Dyble, and there was no evidence it was ever acted upon. An official in the premier’s office said the woman discussed in the email was a temporary employee who left government employment in September 2012. In the legislature last week, NDP critics demanded to know if the woman in the emails was offered another job, or if she was interviewed in the investigation.

PET OF THE WEEK

Tom Fletcher / The Northern View

Richmond Centre MLA Teresa Wat, appointed by Premier Christy Clark to take charge of international trade and multiculturalism, has been under fire in the legislature over events that took place before she was elected in May.

Premier Christy Clark tried to put the pre-election ethnic outreach scandal behind her last week, after the NDP raised new questions about an apparent effort to silence a former staff member’s complaints about B.C. Liberal Party work done by government staff. Clark told reporters Tuesday that emails from former B.C. Liberal staffer Brian Bonney were “totally inappropriate … and that’s why he no longer works for government.” The emails were included in 10,000 pages examined by a team of deputy ministers after the ethnic outreach program was revealed in a leaked memo in March. The plan to use government staff time to organize events in ethnic communities, then collect names for use in the B.C. Liberal election campaign, resulted in resignations of Clark’s deputy chief of staff and two other government employees, and Richmond Steveston MLA John Yap’s resignation as minister of state for multiculturalism. International Trade Minister Teresa Wat, who took over responsibility for multiculturalism after the May election, repeated for a second day in question period that the investigation

First of two Classic Canadian Tours in 2013 BY MARTINA PERRY PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

Prince Rupert welcomed the first Classic Canadian Tours group last weekend, with the Albertan-company discussing additional trips next year. Classic Canadian Tours offers a variety of tours in a number of communities around Canada, striking a deal for two day-trips from Calgary and Edmonton to Prince Rupert this summer. After landing at the Prince Rupert Airport, guests are picked up by Adventure Tours vessel Inside Passage, and are taken on the business’ Grizzly Bear Tour. After the tour is finished, visitors are taken back to the airport to return home. Judy Fraser, director of the Prince Rupert Airport

Authority, said she’s pleased to have Prince Rupert and Adventure Tours as a Classic Canadian Tours excursion. “To have Prince Rupert added to [the list of tours] gives more visibility for the community... The more people we can bring in to enjoy our beautiful city the better,” she said. Bill Lamberton, president of Classic Canadian Tours, said the first of two Classic Canadian Tours happening in Prince Rupert this year was a success. Lamberton said the company heard good feedback from visitors. On July 13, 100 guests from Calgary flew to Prince Rupert for the first excursion. On the tour, Albertan visitors saw just under ten bears, which included two bear cubs. Lamberton said Classic Canadian Tours specialize in day trips, but added guests often use the tours as a way to check out a city before visiting it for a longer period of time.

“I heard back from a lot of people on our trip that they would like to come back and spend a longer time in Prince Rupert,” he said. Fraser said the tour not only helps Prince Rupert’s tourism industry, it also puts extra money through the community. While estimates on the amount of fund the day trip brought to Prince Rupert were not available, Fraser said 100 passengers paid to go on the Grizzly Bear Tour, with guests being provided lunch from a local business. Additionally, while visitors were on the tour aircraft crew rented hotel rooms for the day. Aside from the business and tourism community, the tours help Prince Rupert’s airport see more movement, which Fraser said is what the board has been working toward, with the airport receiving a landing fee.

Obituaries

Jan Savorelli (Sklapsky) July 5, 1971 to June 21, 2013 After a long battle with Scleroderma, Jan succumbed to the disease on June 21, 2013. She was surrounded by the love of her son, parents, sister and brother-in-law. We, the family of Jan, would like to express our thanks to all those who played an integral role in allowing her to maintain a decent quality of life at home. The many trips to emergency and the tireless journeys, sometimes twice a day by the ambulance attendants, the patience and compassion of the hospital staff will never be forgotten. Jan was predeceased by her husband Tony and survived by her son Javin, her parents Vivian and Ray, her sister Karen (Matt) and niece Aeon. A celebration of life will be held at the St. Andrewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Anglican Church on Friday, July 26, 2013 at 7 p.m. In lieu of flowers, please make your donations to the Scleroderma Society in Janâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name. Thank you
