If people in the province need proof of the impact of LNG development, they need look no further than Port Edward. That was the message Premier Christy Clark delivered in her speech to a room full of elected officials at the 2013 Union of British Columbia Municipalities conference on Sept. 20. “Ask Dave MacDonald of - Christy Clark Port Edward. He has a total municipal budget of $2 million and the district hasn’t sold a piece of land in the last 12 years. Until this year, when they have sold $2 million in land. They will have sold another $2 million in land by the end of the year,” she said. See LNG on Page A2

Ridership on the Inside Passage this summer was down, as fewer people made the trip from Prince Rupert to Port Hardy. The number of passengers on the route dropped 8.8 per cent in June, followed by a 9.2 per cent drop in July and a 10.8 per cent drop in August. In terms of totals for the summer, 2013 saw 16,240 passengers traveling compared to 17,993 last summer, a drop of 1,753 or 9.8 per cent. In the first eight months of the year, 20,373 passengers have been on the Inside Passage compared to 21,689 last year, a difference of 6.07 per cent. The number of vehicles traveling on the Inside

“Rubber tire traffic was thought to be up.” - Scott Farwell Passage was also down, dropping 5.7 per cent in June, 10.59 per cent in July and 7.3 per cent in June, equating to a total decrease of 427. Scott Farwell, chair of Tourism Prince Rupert, said he was surprised by the decline. “If you look around town, overall rubber tire traffic was thought to be up,” he said, noting many in the tourism industry had busy summers. In contrast to the Inside Passage, ridership

between Prince Rupert and Haida Gwaii is up through the summer. June saw an increase of 320 passengers, July saw a slight drop of 103 and August saw an increase of 238, meaning a net increase of 455 riders. Through the first eight months of 2013, 22,179 people travelled between Skidegate and Prince Rupert compared to 21,119 in 2012, an increase of 1,060 passengers or five per cent. Vehicle traffic to Haida Gwaii was also up. While 5,817 vehicles crossed Hecate Strait last summer, 6,051 made the crossing this year, an increase of 234 vehicles. “That could be suggesting that people coming through, instead of doing the circle route, are traveling to Haida Gwaii ... it is certainly a destination in itself,” said Farwell.

Deal reached Grants available to aid in growth with CUPE $150,000 BY SHAUN THOMAS PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

The likelihood of job action closing schools this year dropped last week as members of the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) reached a tentative agreement with the province. The agreement, which covers the period from July 1, 2012 to June 30, 2014 as the union had been working without a contract, includes a 3.5 per cent wage increase - to be funded from savings found within existing school district budgets as mandated by the province’s 2012 Cooperative Gains Mandate - and a pay direct drug card for up front expenses. The agreement also “recognizes the professional role of Education Assistants through formal changes to the School Act and collective agreements”. And the bargaining committee for CUPE, who went into the latest round of negotiations with a strike mandate from the membership, said the agreement includes no concessions for CUPE workers. The deal will be taken to the CUPE BC K-12 President’s Council for endorsement, after which each CUPE local will that it to their respective school districts to conclude collective bargaining. The agreement covers 33,000 support staff represented by 69 bargaining units.

LNG from Page A1 “Port Edward [will have] sold $4 million of land in a community where people haven’t wanted to buy land in over a decade,” she said, noting $7 billion has been spent by LNG development companies already. “If you don’t believe LNG is happening, talk to the people of Port Edward.” The speech came on the same day the Province of B.C. announced it was making $150,000 in infrastructure planning grants available to communities in the Northwest that will be impacted by the development of the LNG industry. The Ministry of Community, Sport and Cultural Development will be finalizing grants to the eligible communities in the coming months. “Communities in the northwest will see an influx of jobs - and people - as a result of LNG development. It’s our job to help them manage that growth and assess what their communities need in terms of housing, municipal services like water and sewer and provincial services in health, education and justice,” said Premier Clark.

Cross-country walk wraps up in Rupert Bringing focus to Highway of Tears By Martina Perry PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

After walking more than 7,400 kilometres across Canada, a group aiming to raise awareness and demand justice for the hundreds of missing and murdered women in Canada completed their cross-country journey in Prince Rupert on Friday. The Walk4Justice group, led by Gladys Radek, began the Tears4Justice Walk in Nova Scotia this June. The group was welcomed to Prince Rupert at a ceremony held Saturday evening, where the topic of Canada’s missing and murdered women was discussed at length. The subject is personal for Radek as the aunt of Tamara Chipman, who went missing between Prince Rupert and Terrace on Highway 16 in September of 2005. Chipman was last seen five kilometres east of Prince Rupert, and was said to be hitchhiking. She has not been seen or heard from since. After Chipman disappeared, Radek began researching the topic of murdered or missing women and was astounded with how many cases there were. Radek participated in the Highway of Tears March in 2005 from Prince Rupert to Prince George, which was initiated by Florence Naziel.

Years later, little had changed. “When 2008 came around, I couldn’t help but notice the Highway of Tears initiative was slowly falling to the wayside. I couldn’t help but to wonder why. Is it because this government doesn’t care about our people?” Radek asked during the welcoming ceremony on Saturday. Radek started Walk4Justice in 2008, along with Bernie Williams, to raise awareness and demand justice for the alarmingly high number of women who have gone missing across the country, a majority of which are aboriginal. Since the first event, Radek and other Walk4Justice members have been on three walks using various routes. This year’s campaign was called the Tears4Justice Walk, ending the cross-country journey by walking the Highway of Tears. “Having walked across this nation several times, this is the most beautiful, most pristine area in Canada with the deepest, darkest secrets,” Radek said. Radek was joined by Mable Todd, a 78-year-old Fort St. James women, Willy Abraham from Haida Gwaii and Hartley Bay’s Alec Clifton. Todd, Abraham and Clifton have participated in all of the Walk4Justice journeys over the years. Additionally, along the route, the crew was joined by newcomers William Dick

in Ottawa, and Kelly Houle in Winnipeg. After walking the Highway of Tears, the group approached Prince Rupert on Friday evening. They were joined by a number of people outside of Prince Rupert who completed the cross-country walk with them. The group stopped to pay their respects to Chipman at the stretch of road where she was last seen. The following evening on Sept. 21, the eighth anniversary of Chipman’s disappearance, a welcoming ceremony was held at the Fishermen’s Hall. All walkers shared their stories and reasonings for partaking. “It’s a long journey and very emotional for all of us. But we care; that’s why we

walk,” Todd said. “My hearts go out to all of the people who have lost their loved ones, but most of all my heart goes out to the children that are growing up without a mother.” The ceremony ended with a candle light ceremony to honour those women who have vanished from various points across the country. The objective of the walks has been to stand in unity with all the family members to demand justice and a National Missing and Murdered Women and Children Symposium to discuss and devise a national action plan to eliminate all forms of violence against women and children.

The good, the bad and the ugly

elegates at the Union of British Columbia Municipalities (UBCM) have thrown their support behind the idea of making the term for municipal leaders four years instead of the current three to match up with their provincial and federal counterparts. As someone who has closely covered municipal politics for the better part of a decade, the idea certainly has its merits. But, that being said, it certainly has its drawbacks as well. Perhaps the biggest plus to having the same faces sitting in council chambers for four years instead of three is it provides a much greater degree of continuity when it comes to major projects that involve various levels of government. Those federal and provincial Shaun Thomas politicians working on the file will be able to move forward knowing that the municipal leaders they are working with will be the same for the next 48 months and that the council of the community will have a consistent direction throughout. It must be tough to work on a multi-year project only to have someone new come in with new priorities that make the work done in the past a moot point. But the flip side of that coin is that the voters have less opportunity to change the leadership should council move in a direction they simply don’t like. Perhaps the priorities of the council are not those of the residents or perhaps council continually makes decisions resident disagree with. Instead of a relatively quick three-year turnaround, voters will be stuck with those in office for four years. This could lead to greater apathy in the community than already exists (given the lack of any audience at any council). On the ugly side of things, I think these new four-year terms will discourage people from seeking office more so than in the past. Making a three-year commitment to office, which involves a lot of work for not a lot of pay, is one thing, but four years of your life is a long time to commit given how much can change. This could lead to more costly byelections. It’s another idea that seems to benefit the professional politicians in the Lower Mainland, but doesn’t make sense for rural B.C.

Letters to the editor

Herbert’s letter out of line

Editor: I would like to respond to a letter written by Laird Herbert in the Sept. 18 issue. It has been decades since I have read something that elevated my Irish ire to the extent that Mr. Herber’s letter did. While my response could entail pages or even chapters, I will contain myself to paragraphs. First of all, I have been a tourist in a good many places in this world, quite a few of them a lot longer than 30 days and never have I had the effrontery to pass comment on local issues much less air them in a local newspaper – little or not (no, the thundering condescension did not escape me). The righteous indignation in paragraph two could be applauded if it wasn’t so pathetically misplaced. That the opinion of Mr. Hamilton should shock and affront Mr. Herbert on the native issue is an interesting conundrum. Quite clearly, Mr. Herbert thinks his views should be heard but not those of Mr. Hamilton. That not all of us are of the opinion that how things were handled “back in the day” were of a totally malicious and vindictive nature doesn’t seem to occur to Mr. Herbert. And, due to his “hit and run” method of communicating, probably never will.

If Mr. Herbert thinks Mr. Hamilton should take sensitivity training, I would like to see Mr. Herbert take some as well. Quite clearly, even though he is willing to opine on issues, he has no intention of being part of the solution. And, oh yes, the threats. When we can’t, in or out of the sand box, get our own way, we revert to threats. At this point, I should be thinking that Mr. Herbert is to be more pitied than censored, but I don’t think he deserves even that. As far as “respect from Caucasians” goes, in my opinion respect should flow both ways. I was brought up next to an “Indian Reserve” and from what I experienced, contrary to Mr. Herbert’s belief, there were benefits to the natives. Natives of today aren’t the same people of yesteryear and neither are we. The issues we face in this day and age could be managed, in my opinion, if there weren’t so many Mr. Herbert’s around. There is nothing I read in his letter that, in my opinion, could be construed as positive. Lastly, if Mr. Hamilton’s opinion tainted Mr. Herbert’s otherwise wonderful visit to our city, I would suggest a few places in the world that could really introduce him to a “tainted” view.

Support the commercial fleet Editor: Pink salmon have made Prince Rupert and the outlying communities hum. Seine crews and shoreworkers worked nonstop for seven weeks since July 8, harvesting and processing pinks from Area 3 (Nass area) and Area 6 (near Hartley Bay). The Union estimates that the combined payroll from the Port Edward, Prince Rupert and Lax Kw’alaams plants reached $2 million EACH pay period. This has meant that over the summer, $6 million from shoreworker wages alone have been pumped into our economy. Seine earnings of $6 million are on top of this. Seven million pink salmon have been harvested. Unavoidably there has been a tiny (2.4 per cent) bycatch of 167,000 non-target salmon. The industry is proud to say that the great majority of this bycatch is released alive. Sadly, there are those who would take this huge success story and, instead, attack the commercial fishers for having any bycatch mortality at all. An anti-commercial fishing group has taken a video of the seine fleet with a narration that claims that the bycatch is being thrown back dead – which is clearly not true. The video shows thousands of pink salmon being brailed on board the boats, while deckhands struggle to identify and sort out

a small handful of salmon bycatch. A few minutes on board, then most are released alive and swim away. If you watch the video - turn off the antifishermen commentary and just watch the picture. Only a small number of bycatch die. Not enough to hurt any individual salmon run, (none of which are ‘endangered’ as the video wrongly states). The rest of the bycatch swims away, as can be clearly seen. Have a look at these so-called ‘environmental’ organizations that made the video and wrote the “Open letter to Pattison Group” See how many of them are made up of self-interested people who would benefit if the commercial fleet ceased to exist. Most were steelhead guides or worked for steelhead organizations. Others make money publishing articles saying bears starve because they don’t eat pink salmon. These so-called ‘environmentalists’ demand greater fishing restrictions and increased independent monitoring for the commercial fleets. Interestingly, these same groups support other fisheries which have no monitoring, at all. To counter their negative campaign, please write to the Minister of Fisheries supporting our responsible, highly monitored commercial fleets and their benefits to our small north coast communities.

Shared-use infrastructure has positive benefits for efficient land use and sustainability.

Today’s growth is part of a long-term vision

RE:PORT

rince Rupert’s strategic location between the resource-rich communities of western Canada and booming Asian markets has been a catalyst for growth and investment. The economic vitality of the port has increased dramatically over the last decade. Many residents will remember that in 2005, the total combined volume of goods moving through its terminals was less than 5 million tonnes. In 2012 that figure rose to 22.2 million tonnes, and Prince Rupert has become synonymous with the future prosperity of British Columbia. But to think that this fast-paced growth was achieved without foresight and diligent planning would be to disregard the many years of careful work that’s gone into establishing Canada’s third-largest port. In February 2000 the Prince Rupert Port Authority released a Land Use Plan, a decision-making tool that informed the public of the Port’s land use management principles, objectives and procedures. In addition to detailing plans for both cruise and container terminals, the Plan recognized the need to incorporate a long-term vision of growth and diversification to accommodate large-scale bulk terminals. “Ports are not planned or designed as an arbitrary arrangement of independent terminals,” reads the Plan. “A port must be planned as an interface, a node or transit point in a complex and comprehensive system.” This has been one of the guiding approaches to development at the Port of Prince Rupert. Each expansion and development project is considered in the context of the port as a whole, giving full consideration to safe navigation, transportation access, environmental sustainability and community input. In 2011, the updated 2020 Land Use Management Plan was released, further detailing the long-term planning objectives for a diverse and well-integrated port complex. A critical part of this strategic port development was creating the infrastructure necessary to accommodate future terminals. This needs to be done in a way that maximizes the industrial footprint of Ridley Island, while ensuring that these developments can be constructed and operated safely, sustainably, and efficiently. PRPA is ensuring no one development negatively impacts existing terminals, the efficiency of the collective gateway, our neighbouring communities, or each other. The Road, Rail and Utility Corridor (RRUC) project begun this year is an example of that forward thinking. It employs shared-use infrastructure to integrate multiple new terminals, eliminating potential conflicts amongst proponents and terminal operators. The project’s right-of-way creates rail, vehicle and utility access that will be shared by current and future tenants—while also providing each terminal with its own dedicated inbound and outbound tracks. PRPA’s land use planning over the last decade has taken into account the potential for multiple large-scale developments to occur simultaneously, facilitating the trade of many different commodities. Today, nearly all of the lands suitable for development within the Ridley Island Industrial Site—including Lelu Island—are being studied by various proponents. As these groups work to determine the feasibility of export terminals that could altogether quadruple the total tonnage shipped through Prince Rupert by 2020, the Port Authority continues to study and develop new practices, procedures and programs that are strengthening the Port of Prince Rupert’s reputation for operational excellence.

TPR to remain U.S. ahead of Canada, says Spectra Lack of unstaffed infrastructure hurts

BY SHAUN THOMAS PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

It’s not often that the supplier of a product will find itself competing with its customers. But Spectra Energy vice-president of Canadian LNG Rob Whitwham told members of the Prince Rupert and District Chamber of Commerce that is exactly what is happening in the LNG industry. “The problem right now is that the United States is our only export market for Canada. It is the only country we send LNG to. But because of the same advancing technology in the industry in Canada, they are increasingly able to access their own LNG ... so our only export market isn’t going to need us any more,” he explained, noting the U.S. is ahead of Canada in some respects. “The U.S has some import terminals on the gulf coast that are being repurposed for export ... while all of the projects here are what we call greenfield projects, meaning the infrastructure needs to be built from the ground up, the projects in the U.S. are brownfield, meaning the infrastructure is in place.

advantage we have is we are closer to the market, meaning less sailing time.” At the moment the industry in B.C. is experiencing significant growth, with Whitwham noting production in B.C. could surpass Alberta later this decade. However, for that to happen, he said there needs to be more movement on the export terminals being proposed. “The critical issue is the lack of markets. Access to markets will determine how much is produced,” he said, adding he is doubtful all of the projects proposed will move forward.

“There are, I believe, seven projects proposed and others to be proposed. At the end of the day there won’t be seven projects developed. There will be a few, but there won’t be seven.” Whitwham also mentioned the different pricing structures in place that some point to as complicating commercial agreements between Canadian producers and Asian customers. “In B.C gas will sell between $3 and $4, but in Asia it is quite different because they have no indigenous supply ... that same gas in Asia would sell for $16,” he explained.

PET OF THE WEEK

Following the departure of CEO Bruce Wishart and marketing director Monika Clifton in June, the board of Tourism Prince Rupert is moving forward without office staff or a physical location for the foreseeable future. “We have engaged the Northern B.C. Tourism Association, which has a separate entity called Channel ... they do tourism marketing for places like Dawson Creek and they will now be doing that for Prince Rupert,” said board chair Scott Farwell. “Essentially we have gone out and hired a group to do the work in terms of marketing, booking ads, social media, representing Prince Rupert at trade shows and that type of thing.” Tourism Prince Rupert’s office, which was located in the Museum of Northern B.C., has been closed for over a month with no plans to reopen it. “We don’t actually have office space, but Northern B.C. Tourism has had someone working out of Prince Rupert on occasion,” said Farwell. Wishart’s departure was part of a restructuring by the board to address financial challenges related to stagnant revenue and to put more money into marketing by reducing the fixed costs of the organization.

Prince Rupert walks to build strength BY MARTINA PERRY PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

More than 50 people took steps to move forward in the Walk to Build Strength on Saturday. The event was held to reconcile relationships between aboriginal and non-aboriginal people by creating understanding about the impact residential schools had on aboriginals across the country. “The most important message [of the Walk to Build Strength] is that our history is a shared history. It’s not just the history of aboriginal people, it’s Canada’s. We need to remember that. As we continue to support our families and communities who work to deal with the healing and the impact of residential schools, it’s not just those people’s responsibility. It’s everybody’s,” said Debbie LeightonStephens, who organized the event along with Marilyn Bryant, Reagan Sawka and Robert Etzerza from the Aboriginal Education Department of the Prince Rupert’s School District. “Sometimes we hear, ‘that happened a long time ago, can’t we just move on?’. No, it’s not that easy,” she said during a speech on Saturday. Approximately 150,000 aboriginal youth across Canada attended residential schools, which were primarily active from the 1870s until 1996. The schools were funded by the Canadian government’s Department of Indian Affairs and run by churches to abolish First Nations, Metis and Inuit traditions. Many students endured physical, sexual and emotional

abuse during their time in residential schools. The event also honoured victims and their strength for moving forward. “As aboriginal people we overcame the government’s pull to eradicate our [heritage],” Leighton-Stephens said. Participants peacefully walked from Mariner’s Park to the Fishermen’s Hall for an event that included cultural dancing, music and speeches from residential school survivors. Helen Johnson, who attended residential school as a child, spoke about her experiences and healing journey. “All the abuses you can think of the majority of our children have gone through. I, for one, have been sexually abused, and I’m not afraid to say it. I stand tall today and honour myself for coming through such an abuse. I’m hoping and praying that all those that are still affected know there’s hope at the end,” she said. Johnson said fellow residential school students were from all over the country, so they weren’t able to communicate in their native languages. “Children were taught, I for one was taught, to not honour my family or my culture,” she said. In the 1960s Johnson began researching her heritage, and today knows the culture that was taken away. Johnson said while aboriginal people are strong, the struggle is still not over. “Today we still feel the effects that were bestowed upon us. The new generation is affected today,” she said. “We need to build the bridge that was broken. We need to walk together with

openness, dignity, understanding and hope.” Charlie Carlick also shared his experiences with moving forward in his life. Carlick was sent to residential school when he was six years old, spending 10 years in the system. “I suffered much as a child. I was abused physically and they told me I would never learn. So often in the classroom [I was told I was] an empty barrow,” he said, adding he felt insecure about the colour of his skin growing up without understanding why. Carlick said in the years following residential school he wasn’t sure who he was, and became an alcoholic for a number of years. “It was because I was covering up so many things in my life. I had such deep insecurity,” he said. When he was 40, Carlick turned his life around, becoming sober and a Christian. Since finding his new path, he was able to find forgiveness. “For years I was a prisoner in my own body. The worst thing is to have animosity, hate ... I learned unless I forgive I will

remain in jail. Once I let go, I was free. I didn’t hate them anymore, I hated what they did to me.” Following speeches, those in attendance lit candles to remember those who lost their lives in residential schools. At least 3,000 aboriginal children died in Canadian residential schools, mainly of disease. Prior to Saturday’s event the Aboriginal Education Department and planning committee went into four schools to discuss facts and history of residential schools with teachers. Carlick and Johnson shared their stories with teachers and discussed how residential schools are still impacting communities today. Leighton-Stephens believes the workshops, along with educational material the Aboriginal Education Department provides, will make a difference in classrooms. “That’s going to make a difference because [teachers] will be more confident to incorporate that history into the teachings into the classroom,” she said. The walk and the gathering were held in recognition of Residential School Truth and Reconciliation week in Vancouver.

Rupert’s role in the success of B.C. forestry By Martina Perry PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

The forest industry is vital to Canada’s economy, earning $24 billion in gross domestic product in 2012 and being one of the nation’s top five contributors to trade. In Prince Rupert, two forestry-related operations have been generating money to support Prince Rupert families and the Canadian economy by shipping Canadian product overseas. The Lax Kw’alaams First Nation enterprise Coast Tsimshian Resources LP began harvesting and shipping lumber in Prince Rupert a number of years ago after successfully operating a multifaceted forestry operation in Terrace, an operation that started with nothing. “When the Skeena Cellulose sawmill went bankrupt, nobody else wanted those timber assets,” Wayne Drury, CEO of Coast Tsimshian Resources, said. “Lax Kw’alaams jumped in because we knew we could make a business of it if it was operated differently.” Since beginning business in Prince Rupert, Coast Tsimshian Resources has harvested and shipped a historical average of 375,000 cubic metres per year. The lumber being shipped overseas comes from the company’s forestry operations in the Terrace and Prince Rupert area. In 2012 the operation’s volumes were down, which Drury said was because the Chinese market was in decline and because

the Canadian dollar was high. But Drury said the market has been improving this year. “Our numbers this year are going to be pretty close to what our historical average is,” he said, adding in 2013 about 150,000 cubic metres of lumber has been harvested and shipped to date. Drury said while it was Lax Kw’alaams that took the initiative and opportunity to rebuild the forest economy in the northwest, other companies and groups also stepped up to help the industry grow in the region. “Operators in the northwest ... support each other. We don’t look at each other as competitors, we look actually think we compliment each other,” Drury said. “We’ve all got one goal in mind, and that’s to continue to build the industry in the north west.” Quickload’s lumber stuffing operations have also been seeing significant improvements since purchasing the operation in 2008. Kristina De Araujo, Quickload’s director of corporate affairs, said during the company’s first year there were only three employees at the lumber stuffing enterprise, with between 30 and 40 containers being filled per week. Things got worse before they got better. Shortly after Quickload purchased the operation, the recession hit and volumes dropped to about 25 containers per week. See FORESTRY on Page A10

Pacific Forest industry alive and well NorthWest LNG Employment on the rise opening office FORESTRY from Page A9 But in 2010 the economy started to bounce back, with De Araujo saying the end of the first quarter saw significant increases, moving up to 40 then 60. An increase in clients has meant Quickload has tripled those numbers, now loading approximately 300 containers per week of northern B.C. lumber. Additionally, Quickload employs about 40 people. De Araujo said Quickload has invested heavily into equipment to ensure its customers have the best service possible in the north. In 2011 the company began operating the world’s first C Loader to fill containers. The C Loader is the only lumber-stuffing machinery made to fill product into containers at maximum efficiency while minimizing product damage. “It’s the only one in the world, so that’s something Prince Rupert can be proud of,” De Araujo said, adding the business is continuing to prepare for growth and expansion. Quickload is planning to launch a truck reservation system some time this year, or in 2014, which will provide better planning for Quickload and truck drivers delivering product. The system will mean truckers can reserve a drop off time and avoid long waiting periods. “We’re constantly looking ahead

Pacific NorthWest LNG is in the midst of increasing its presence in Prince Rupert, with work on a community office in the Capitol Mall underway. “We have hired a local contractor, and I would say the office is in the design phase. Right now we’re sourcing furniture, computers and equipment,” explained Spencer Sproule, senior advisor of corporate affairs for Pacific NorthWest LNG. “We’re hoping to open the office in early November, that would be ideal, but it would be contingent on sourcing staff in Prince Rupert.” When the office does open, Sproule said it will be a one-stop-shop of sorts for people interested in the terminal proposed for Lelu Island. “It will be a place for people to come to talk to staff about the project, but also a place for local small businesses to come in, discuss the project and put their name on a vendour list,” said Sproule, noting that is an important part of the terminal development. “This way, after the final investment decision is made, we have a list of local businesses that can supply contractors working on the project and, eventually, the facility itself.” The office will be located in the former Studio 9 location, which was last occupied by Liberal candidate Judy Fraser. Currently a sign in the window advises people of what is to come.

Rampage fall short in 2013 Challenge Cup Beat Terrace, lose to Smithers BY SHAUN THOMAS PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

The Prince Rupert Rampage competed for the 2013 Challenge Cup Saturday night, playing the defending CIHL champion Smithers Steelheads. The Rampage earned their spot in the final on Friday night with a convincing win over the Terrace River Kings. The Rampage wasted no time when they took to home ice. After a disallowed goal just 28 seconds in, captain Jared Meers picked up a loose rebound and put it into the open net past a down Garret Muir to put the Rampage up just 5:18 in. Less than a minute later, Craig Munro put another rebound through the pads to make it 2-0 Rupert. Despite chances on both sides, that would be all the scoring in the first. The early second featured back-andforth play, with the only goal coming with 9:42 on the clock as Kory Movold dropped the puck for Meers who wristed it ove the glove of Muir. Terrace had plenty of opportunities in the frame, but Warren Hanson seemed unbeatable in the Rupert net to the delight of the fans, and the period ended 3-0 for the Rampage. The River Kings finally got on the board in the third when captain Steve Cullis put a slapshot five hole 6:25 into the period, but it was too little too late. Joey Hidber’s shot from the blue line found the back of the net with 5:11 to play, and Gavin Harburn put one past a downed Muir with 4:20 to play to give the Rampage the 5-1 win. The Steelheads had a short bench for the final on Saturday, with 12 skaters and two goalies, but showed they came to play. Smithers opened the scoring when Ryan Green put a rebound into the open net beside goaltender Blake Buckham, and the team controlled much of the play in the first frame. The Rampage had their chances, including a penalty shot by Kory Movold that was stopped by the pads of Steven Andrade after a poke check attempt, but the first

The Rampage’s Derek Baker and Armand Powell try to cut off Calvin Johnson of the Smithers Steelheads during the 2013 Challenge Cup ﬁnal on Saturday night.

“I think we’re going to have a lot of exciting hockey this season” - Roger Atchison ended with a 1-0 lead for Smithers. The Steelheads continuesdfinishing off a tic-tac-toe passing play with 16:47, and Buckham was forced make a breakaway save minutes later. The home fans came alive with 10:30 to play when Jonathon Hunt found the back of the net after a scramble in front to pull the Rampage to within one, but that excitement was short lived. 55 seconds later, Calvin Johnson beat Buckham after a turnover behind the net, and less than two minutes later Ryan Devries

deflected one in to give Smithers the 4-1 lead. They would take that lead into the final period of play. The Smithers offence was relentless in the third, with Mark Arnold, Ian Smith and Brad Goss all finding the back of the net within the first five minutes to drive Buckham from the Rampage net. Though the result of the game was no longer in question, the Rampage gave the hometown fans something to cheer about late in the third as Jordan Aubee handily won

a fight against Ryan Green and Ryan Fuzi went five hole with 13:09 on the clock to make it 7-2. That would be the final as the Steelheads celebrated another Challenge Cup trophy. “We came out with a lot of energy in the first game and got some early goals. In tonight’s game, we took too many penalties and with the skill level of the Smithers team, they could really sit back and pace the game to their liking,” said coach Roger Atchison, noting the tournament was a good way to get the players familiar with their roles for the coming season. “I think we’re going to have a lot of exciting hockey this season.” The Rampage will kick off the 2013/2014 Central Interior Hockey League season on Oct. 5 with a visit from the Quesnel Kangaroos.

Rupert’s No. 1 furniture store serving the North Coast for 90 years and counting! For 90 years, MacKenzie Home Furnishings has offered unparalleled service and selection to the people of Prince Rupert and the North Coast. With the Eby family owning MacKenzie Home Furnishing for 40 years, many wonder how the business got its name. The name came from original owner Alexander MacKenzie, who founded the business in 1923. Brian Eby purchased the current location from Lindsay’s Cartage in 1981 and wasted no time in completely renovating the business into a retail furniture outlet. With Mackenzie’s remaining a 100% locally-owned business, they have been one of Rupert’s biggest boosters.

Brian’s son Rob is now the owner/manager and he has partnered with Audio Video Unlimited (AVU) and Brandsource for marketing and merchandising support. This partnership allows MacKenzie’s to offer the best price on big screen TVs every day of the week and gives the business the confidence to offer its 120 per cent price guarantee that extends to 30 days after purchase. To celebrate their 90th Anniversary, MacKenzies will be open Thursday noon to 9 p.m. On Saturday, MLA Jennifer Rice and CFNR will be on location to announce the winners of numerous door prizes, including a Simmons queen mattress set.

Putterill grills minister on BC Ferries fees BY JEFF NAGEL VANCOUVER / Black Press

Don’t cut BC Ferries service when the province is on the verge of reaping a huge windfall from natural gas in the coming years. That was the plea from one Union of B.C. Municipalities delegate who sought to link the two issues at a forum on the economy Wednesday. “Coastal communities can’t afford - Evan Putterill to wait for that revenue to start coming in,” said Evan Putterill, Skeena - Queen Charlotte Regional District director for Area E and chair of the North and Central Coast Ferry Advisory Committee. The Sandspit resident said ferry-dependent towns have been badly damaged by two decades of rapidly rising fares and further cuts to service now being eyed will make their plight worse. Transportation Minister Todd Stone agreed fares can’t go higher. “We can debate whether we’re at the tipping point or nearing the tipping point or past the tipping point, but fares are at the point where they’re not affordable any more,” he said. But he warned “service optimization” cuts are coming and will be unveiled in the coming months. Finance Minister Mike de Jong noted new ferries cost hundreds of millions of dollars and asked delegates to indicate by show of hands if government should buy from overseas builders when they’re the low bidder or if local shipyards should win no matter the cost. The room was split. The ferry question came after de Jong described liquefied natural gas (LNG) as a “generational opportunity” for B.C. that’s estimated to eventually generate government income of $10 billion a year. Asked if LNG is being oversold, he said the skeptics are wrong. “People still say ‘It’s mythical, it’s not happening, it’s not real.’ LNG is real and will result in significant additional revenues.” He said it promises a renaissance for northern B.C., reversing a decades-long trend of depopulation. Other cabinet ministers at the forum cautioned the gas boom means growing pains for communities and a scramble to recalibrate training programs so workers have the required skills.

Break and enter suspect nabbed BY CPL. GLEN BRECKON MASSET / Special to The Northern View

Masset RCMP responded to 22 files from Sept. 3 to Sept. 9, including six Liquor Act offences for drinking or being drunk in public, one break and enter, and two impaired driving complaints. The Masset RCMP are still investigating the break and enter to the Masset Volunteer Fire Department building on the night of September 7, 2013. RCMP are following up on some leads, however the investigation is still active. A number of items were taken including a unique XBOX, money and some stored liquor. Anyone with any information is encouraged to call the Masset RCMP or Crimestoppers. The Vancouver Canucks were in town on September 10, 2013 and the event went very smoothly from a police perspective. There were no incidents and everyone seemed to have enjoyed themselves. The traffic and parking into and out of the area went smoothly as well. The RCMP would like to

thank the Old Masset Volunteer Fire Department and the Masset Volunteer Fire Department for all their help with planning and controlling the traffic and parking into the area. On September 10. 2013 The Masset RCMP received a complaint that some people leaving the Canucks event were smoking marijuana. The occupants were noted as being rude when questioned about their behavior and took off in a vehicle. The vehicle was stopped by police leaving Masset. In addition to the complaint of smoking marijuana the driver was also prohibited. The vehicle was impounded and the driver now has a court date for driving while prohibited. On the evening of September 11, 2013 a person reported hitting a cow on Tow Hill Road near the Golf Course. A BC Hydro vehicle was damaged extensively as a result. It is unknown what happened to the cow. Cattle cannot be left to range freely on a public roadway, and owners or property owners may be liable for any damage caused by their animals. In the early morning hours of September 14, 2013 Masset RCMP responded to a possible break and

enter in progress on Collison Avenue. Members responded and located a male hiding in the bush nearby who fled from police. The male went on quite the run but was eventually taken into custody by police in a driveway on Collison Avenue. The male is now facing several new charges and was also breaching court imposed conditions. The male is still in custody before the courts and Crown Counsel is seeking his detention. Found property. The Masset RCMP tends to receive quit a bit of found property over the year, ranging from bikes to cell phones. Members try and determine ownership however that is not always possible. The Masset RCMP will typically hold an item for 90 days before giving it to the finder or other interested party. That said if you have lost an item of value it is always worth checking with the RCMP to see if it has been turned in. As always, any suspicious activity can be reported to the Masset RCMP at 250-626-3991 or anonymously to Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS) or online at www.bccrimestoppers.com.

Leaders support four-year terms BY TOM FLETCHER VANCOUVER / Black Press

Delegates at the Union of B.C. Municipalities have endorsed having local elections every four years, to match up with provincial votes. The resolution to extend terms of office from three years to four was supported by 60 per cent of voting delegates, who want the B.C. government to make the change in time for municipal elections in November 2014. If it is enacted, B.C. would join Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Quebec, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland and Labrador, Ontario, Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick, which have four-year terms for local politicians. The issue has divided urban and rural communities for years, with some rural councillors calling for shorter terms for what they say is mainly volunteer work with minimum pay. One rural delegate

In Prince Rupert, registered voters can sign the petition at signing stations at Jim West Signs and Homesteader New and Used, or can sign petitions a number of registered canvassers have.

said the idea comes from “professional politicians” in the Lower Mainland, where council pay is higher. Proponents argue that four-year terms reduce turnover and would increase local election participation by being timed with provincial votes. The UBCM executive added another

argument for the change, noting that several local mayors and councillors were elected to the B.C. Legislature in May. The executive called for direction from the province “to avoid governance conflicts, expensive byelections, long absences on council and boards and the double-dipping of salaries”.

Metlakatla gets $3.7 million from feds BY MARTINA PERRY PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

The federal government is providing $3.7 million to the Metlakatla First Nation to upgrade the community’s wastewater treatment system. The funding was announced on Sept. 17 by Minister of Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Bernard Valcourt for a sewage treatment

and disposal system in Metlakatla, something Chief Harold Leighton is greatly needed. “This project is important for our community as it will be beneficial for the local environment and shell fish harvesting,” he said. Minister Valcourt said projects like this go beyond just creating opportunities for Aboriginal business, trades employment and supporting

Toy Run aiming for a merry Christmas BY SHAUN THOMAS PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

For more than three decades, the Prince Rupert Harley Riders group have taken to the streets around town to make Christmas merry for those in need. This year, riders of all makes and models will want to bring their bikes to Grenville Court on Oct. 5 for the 32nd Annual Toy Run. The bikes will be leaving the Salvation Army Corps at 1 p.m. and making their way to five points around town, as well as a stop for a barbecue at the Port Edward Fire Hall, for a poker run. After the ride there will be a dance with entry by a donation of $10 or a toy. The riders will also have t-shirts for sale the day of the ride and the weekend after in the Rupert Square Mall.

As with past years, all of the money raised and toys collected are donated to the Prince Rupert Salvation Army to be distributed during the holiday season. Harley Riders president Norm Sklapsky has set a goal of $10,000 for this year,. “We work hard up to the first week of December to collect cash donations, which give us more time and companies more time to meet our goal,” he said, noting his

fifth year organizing the ride will also be his last. “After five years, any community group president should pass the torch down to the next member. They can meet or beat what has been produced in the last five years, but it is a lot of hard work. It certainly doesn’t come easy.” Last year’s ride collected $10,200 and 281 toys, the largest yet and well ahead of the numbers from 2011. In the last 31 years, the Harley Riders have collected just under $300,000 and approximately 6,000 toys for the Prince Rupert Salvation Army. “I just want to thank all of the merchants, businesses and the people of Prince Rupert with helping to get to our goal. This fundraiser wouldn’t be a success without them,” said Sklapsky.

Happy Birthday Baby Girl We love you and miss you so much! Mom, Dad, Ava Family & Friends

Born: February 08, 1947 in Chilliwack, BC Bob passed away peacefully surrounded by family on September 10, 2013 in Victoria, BC. He had valiantly battled both cancer and heart complications over the previous 15 months. Bob is survived by his devoted and loving wife, Neva, his eldest son, Jeremy and his youngest son, (wife Vanessa), Brady (wife Jenna). Bobâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pride and joy were his adorable grandsons Sebastian (33 months) and Dominic (15 months), sons of Jeremy and Vanessa, and Evan (8 months), son of Brady and Jenna. Bob was also survived by his loyal brothers Lloyd (wife Dawn) and Bill (wife Erin), along with numerous nieces and nephews, and was pre-deceased by his mother, Lena, his father, Emil, and his brother, Don. He also leaves to mourn, Nevaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parents Clyde and Alice Smith, along with Nevaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s siblings, Sandra Logan and Kendall Smith and their families. Finally, Bob leaves behind an army of friends and colleagues, who he was proud to have known and loved. Bob spent the majority of his life in Prince Rupert, BC, working as a firefighter for 33 years. He was elected as a School Trustee, a position in which he served for nine years, where he advocated for students, teachers, and support staff, as a community of learners. Bob volunteered many hours of his time coaching and officiating athletics in Prince Rupert. He was a valued community member, and had so much pride in being a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Rupertiteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Bob and Neva relocated to Duncan, BC in 2006 in order to be closer to their children and their future grandchildren. His love for golf, classic cars, and travel continued to pervade his lifestyle in Duncan, allowing him to truly enjoy what retirement had to offer. Bob truly loved life, and was taken from us far too early. He is a testament to what a man should strive to become. In honour of Bobâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wishes, he will be cremated and family will gather at a later date to honour his memory; there will be no formal service.

So, swing a club, mow a lawn, polish a bumper, or simply raise a glass in memory of Bob Quast. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to either the BC Cancer Foundation or the BC SPCA.
