Province and Rupert emergency response undergoing review

Illegal butts circulating in Rupert Page A3

The question the City of Prince Rupert Fire Department and emergency response teams are trying to answer is simple: If the big one hits, is Prince Rupert ready? A sweeping consultation process with the Province of B.C. and Emergency Management B.C. has begun to - Jeff Beckwith answer that exact question. “The province is going under a review,” said Prince Rupert’s deputy fire chief, Jeff Beckwith.

Special public hearing to be held on lands gained in boundary expansion BY MARTINA PERRY PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

The City of Prince Rupert is beginning to get a handle on how newly-acquired lands, gained in a recent boundary expansion, will be used. In May, the provincial government approved the city’s request to include a parcel of land located generally to the north of Prince Rupert across from Fern Passage, commonly referred to as Lot 444, within the municipal boundary. The city’s original rationale for the expansion was to include Prince Rupert’s watershed within the boundary, and shortly after receiving approval it was announced a LNG facility was being considered at the site. To complete the process, the city had to include the land in the Quality of Life Official

“I don’t like the idea ... it’s leaving it wide open for development right there against the watershed.” - Barry Cunningham

Community Plan and assign it land use regulations. Prince Rupert city planner Zeno Krekic recommended that the lower portion of the land parcel be used for public facilities so if the community expanded in that direction residents could have access to the waterfront, and that

the upper portion be designated as a new heavy industrial zone. The only issue members of council had was the 30-metre buffer zone in the M5 zoning, with Coun. Barry Cunningham saying it should be increased so development is further away from the community’s water supply. “That means someone could legally build within 30 metres of the watershed,” he said. “I don’t like the idea of [the upper portion] coming to the edge of the lake there ... it’s leaving it wide open for development right there against the watershed.” Originally there was one public hearing planned for all amendments on July 28, however members of council agreed the zoning of Lot 444 should have a separate meeting which was scheduled for Sept. 15.

Emergency siren for Rupert in plans EMERGENCY RESPONSE from Page A1 “They’re going to communities throughout the process to get feedback from them so they can develop a thorough emergency plan for the province.” Aimed at managing catastrophic and devastating earthquakes and tsunamis, the consultation and public education campaign is engaging all levels of government and any stakeholders associated with public safety. For Prince Rupert, that means the waterfront. “From Rupert’s point of view, what we’ve done is been able to identify if we do have a tsunami event with an earthquake, you have to worry about structural damage, infrastructure damage to the city. Obviously, with the tsunami event, you have to worry about a high water event coming into the harbour,” said Beckwith. Monthly meetings between the waterfront authorities and safety officials have enabled the city to devise a strategic plan unique to the city. For Prince Rupert, citizens must reach a location 10 metres above the high water mark, along evacuation routes posted throughout the city. Beckwith said the initial rush of water wouldn’t be the main devastating force so much as the stacking phenomenon and

‘flush’ that occurs when the water pulls back out to sea. “We’ll probably get a bit of a stacking event where you get a surge of water coming into the harbour. It’ll be followed by a second or third one and it’s going to start stacking water on the inland and that’s where the biggest potential for hazard is; probably the flush ... [it will] pull docks apart and pull ships and vessels out of the harbour.” In 2012, a 7.7 earthquake ruptured near Haida Gwaii and was part of the driving force behind the government’s decision to have a province-wide plan. The use of an emergency siren was brought up at the city’s last meeting with the province and it was well-received, said Beckwith, noting that Prince Rupert used to have one dating back to World War II but was decommissioned because of its maintenance costs. “Different sirens may represent different types of events,” said Bob Killbery of the Prince Rupert Port Authority. “It has to be connected to something else. There has to be an information centre people can contact to find out what the siren means.” Killbery added a multi-tonal siren may be more helpful than a single-toned installment. The results of the consultations are

expected to be filed in a final report by co-chairs John Les, former B.C. Solicitor General and Henry Renteria, former director of California’s Office of Emergency Services, to the Ministry of Justice by the end of the year.

Illegal butts big in Rupert Nearly a quarter of smokes found were contraband BY MARTINA PERRY PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

The percentage of illegal cigarettes being smoked in Prince Rupert is higher than the provincial average. A study released by the Western Convenience Store Association (WCSA) examined discarded cigarette butts at 48 sites throughout the province to determine how much illegal cigarettes are being smoked throughout British Columbia. For the study, all cigarette butts found on the ground or in ashtrays in various areas were collected and examined. Sites were selected on the basis that a good cross-section of the public might be smoking in that area — the site chosen for Prince Rupert was around City Hall. The study was conducted between April 27 and May 26, with the average rate of illegal tobacco use at tested sites being 17 per cent. In Prince Rupert, the rate of illegal tobacco collected was 23.5 per cent. Andrew Klukas, president of the Western Convenience Stores Association, said the usage of contraband is a concern for a number of reasons, including loss of government revenue. “In British Columbia, if in fact the average is 17.3 [of cigarettes are

contraband], and that’s what our numbers tell us, that would represent a $120 million a year in lost revenue ... it means the funding that would go into public services for everybody aren’t there,” he said. Data collected in other communities showed that there were high percentages of contraband butts near schools with underage consumption being another concern of illegal cigarette use. “When there’s people out there who are selling contraband products out of their trunks, or whatever it is, without any age testing, they sell to whomever’s willing to buy at a low cost, it undermines all of our efforts to get at the issue of youth consumption,” Klukas said. “It’s very frustrating for my members.” Klukas also said the RCMP has determined that contraband cigarettes have been linked to organized crime. Contraband cigarettes, while they look like legal cigarettes, are not branded with company logos or with mandated warnings on packages. The WCSA is now calling on the provincial government to address contraband through proactive legislation and by allocating additional resources for enforcement. It is also asking the B.C. government to work with all levels of government to address the issue.

he current B.C. liberal government of Christy Clark is having an all-out love affair with LNG (liquified natural gas). They dream of LNG royalties pouring into the provincial treasury, and jobs, jobs, and more jobs. All under the banner of “green industry”. The real picture is not so pretty. Natural gas is still a fossil fuel, still causes greenhouse gas emissions, and still contributes to climate change. And getting that gas out of the ground requires extensive use of the controversial practice known as fracking. The Counsel of Canadian Academies recently released an assessment entitled “Environmental Impacts of Shale Gas Extraction in Canada. The expert panel focused on a number of issues such as well integrity, water (ground and surface), greenhouse gas emissions, land impacts and seismic events, human health, and monitoring and research. A summary of key findings ends with this statement: “Overall, the Panel found that well-targeted science is required to ensure a better understanding of the environmental impacts of shale gas development. Currently, data about environmental impacts are neither sufficient nor conclusive.” That last phrase is worth noting - “neither sufficient nor conclusive”. That means on the one hand that we can not claim with certainty that fracking is an environmental and health hazard, and on the other hand that industry can not claim that it is safe. The jury is still out. Despite this uncertainly, the oil and gas industries have declared fracking to be safe, and with the blessing of federal and provincial governments are proceeding with full-scale wide-spread fracking in northeastern B.C. and elsewhere in Canada. When it comes to fracking our governments have thrown caution to the wind. They are gambling our future on the hope of LNG riches. Governments at all levels should be exercising the precautionary principle. From the Canadian Environmental Law Association: “The precautionary principle denotes a duty to prevent harm, when it is within our power to do so, even when all the evidence is not in. This principle has been codified in several international treaties to which Canada is a signatory. Domestic law makes reference to this principle but implementation remains limited.” With respect to fracking, implementation of the precautionary principle is woefully lacking and our provincial government is profoundly negligent in it’s duty to protect the people of this province. Chances are very real that future generations will condemn us for the legacy of fracking they will inherit from the Christy Clark liberals. Don’t frack our future.

Letters to the editor

Tsilhqot’in had long eviction history Editor: Re: Tom Fletcher’s column, Life after the Tsilhqot’in decision (B.C. Views, July 2). 1. Federal and provincial authority may vary with the strength of an aboriginal title claim, as Fletcher contends, in the sense that the obligation to consult and accommodate is proportional to the strength of the claim. But this is not so once aboriginal title has been proved in court (as the Tsilhqot’in have done). Once such title is established it is no longer a matter of a “claim” and the aboriginal owners must consent to any development proposal respecting their land – unless the government supporting such a development meets the stringent constitutional test for limiting aboriginal rights and title in the absence of consent. 2. A finding of aboriginal title does not necessarily “lock in” communal ownership. Just as treaty First Nations may agree to convert land to fee simple title, aboriginal title holders may agree to surrender land to the federal Crown on the condition that it be re-conveyed to them for the purpose of conversion to fee simple. I suspect that obtaining such agreement is no

“A finding of aboriginal title does not necessarily lock in communal ownership.” - Hamar Foster easier in the former scenario that the latter, but it may be. 3. The Tsilhqot’in had a long history of keeping others out, and were the only First Nation that was hostile even to the fur trade. But they did not fight a war in the 1860s to defend their territory from a “wave of gold seekers.” They expelled everyone. In 1864, after being threatened by the foreman of a crew building a wagon road through their territory – he had warned darkly of bringing back the small pox that had killed at least one third of their population two years earlier – they killed nearly all the crew and then killed or expelled all white settlers from their territory. Hamar Foster, QC Professor of Law, University of Victoria

New education authority needed Editor: The current impasse between B.C.’s public school teachers and the provincial government reminds me a lot of my experiences during the 1990s and early 2000s advocating on behalf of adults with severe mental illnesses: two outwardly appearing-to-be-rational parties taking what are plainly out of touch with reality bargaining positions… made worse by both sides not basing their objectives on neutrally-established servicedelivery criteria. The establishment of an impartial, permanent “Provincial Public Education Standards Authority” for B.C. is urgently needed. Terms of reference ideally would include setting such standards as: maximum numbers of pupils per class; maximum numbers of special needs students per class; minimum numbers of classroom assistants per class; hours of preparatory work teachers are paid for, etc… In order to insulate a PPESA from improper political (or other) interference, such a body would best be established under the impartial aegis of B.C.’s Lieutenant Governor, perhaps by way of a Royal Charter or Writ, with membership appointed by the Lieutenant Governor, based on consultation with stakeholders, for no less than seven-year terms. Once province-wide public school education standards were established by a PPESA, such

standards should be formally evaluated, and if necessary updated, on a bi-annual (or triannual) basis by way of a transparent and inclusive consultative process that would enable the involvement of representatives of all major stakeholders such as teachers, the B.C. government and parents, while ensuring that interested taxpayers have avenues for input as well. After a PPESA was set up and public school education standards established, B.C.’s auditor general (or a similar public funding expenditure watchdog) should be tasked with projecting the annual costs for delivering kindergarten to Grade 12 education- based upon the PPESA’s standards while factoring in potential salary levels for teachers and other provincial school districts’ employees. Then, in the future when B.C.’s teachers and the B.C. government sit down to negotiate issues that are invariably going to be preoccupied with money considerations, both sides would know from the start what the costs for delivering education areand negotiations could focus not only on how much money the govt of the day can be ‘forced’ to cough up, but also - how much, and where, B.C.’s teachers are prepared to give- and make compromises- in order to ensure that the PPSEA’s public school education standards can be implemented.

The natural resource, extracted in communities like Chetwynd and Tumbler Ridge, is powering a construction boom in Asian countries.

Trade in coal keeps BC economy strong

RE:PORT

ccording to a 2010 assessment of British Columbia’s coal reserves, the province contains more than 12 billion tonnes of potentially minable coal resources. At current rates of production, BC could continue to experience related economic benefits for several hundred years. British Columbia is responsible for producing 40% of the 67 million tonnes Canada’s coal mining industry produces each year. Almost all of it is high-grade metallurgical coal used in the production of steel. With a value of $5.7 billion, this coal production provides significant economic and social benefits to communities throughout the province. More than 26,000 BC jobs exist because of the coal industry. Many are highly skilled and well-paid. In fact the average yearly wage for workers directly employed by coal companies is over $95,000, more than twice the average provincial wage. There are currently 24 coal mines operating in Canada, ten of which are in British Columbia. Four of these are located in the Peace River region of northeastern BC—specifically in the communities of Chetwynd and Tumbler Ridge. These mining operations are the largest employers in the area, and the production from these four mines makes up approximately one-third of the total volume moving through Prince Rupert’s Ridley Terminals. That figure is likely to increase in the coming years, as there are now more than 10 new mines in various states of proposal or permitting in the northeast region. The majority of BC’s coal resources are located in the southeast Kootenay region, where five operating mines account for more than 75% of the province’s steelmaking coal production. They employ thousands of people in communities like Sparwood and Elkford. As in the northeast, there are several new mine sites under exploration or in other stages of development. In addition to supporting employment across the province, the coal industry in BC generates substantial tax revenue. In 2011, the industry paid $715 million in taxes, which includes $399 million generated by economic activity and $316.2 million in mineral taxes paid to the provincial government. These contributions provide critical support to the development and maintenance of infrastructure and government programs. Very little of the coal mined in BC is used domestically. Its value lies in its use in the process of steelmaking, and demand is strong in Korea, Japan and China. Therefore, the majority of our coal is exported through Port Metro Vancouver and the Port of Prince Rupert, accounting for almost 22% of BC’s total annual exports. As provincial production continues to increase in tandem with Asian demand for high-quality coal, BC’s ports are already preparing for additional capacity with expansion—such as Ridley Terminals’ ongoing Capacity Realization Project. The Province of British Columbia has always relied on the extraction and export of natural resources as its major economic driver. With ample reserves, investment from industrial interests, a strong and supportive labour force, and growing rail and marine capacities, BC is well-prepared to respond to growth opportunities and ensure the continued prosperity of communities from the Kootenays to the North Coast.

• The jetty trestle would extend southwest from the west side of Lelu Island, with the marine terminal located on Agnew Bank. • The jetty trestle would be supported by piles approximately 35 metres (115 feet) apart. Like other jetty trestles in the Port of Prince Rupert, this would allow water to ﬂow freely underneath.

• Vessels of all sizes would still be able to navigate Porpoise Channel during construction and after Paciﬁc NorthWest LNG is built. • Standard marine navigation practices would remain in effect ensuring continued navigation for all marine users.

• Navigation of Porpoise Channel and the Prince Rupert Port would remain unchanged for marine users. • Based on feedback from the community, the jetty trestle has been designed with a section near Lelu Island that would provide enough clearance for boats to continue to use the cut across of Flora Bank to and from Porpoise Channel.

Brain, Mussallem only announced candidates BY MARTINA PERRY PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

While the nomination period for the 2014 Prince Rupert Municipal Election wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t begin until the end of September, two candidates have already announced their intentions to run for the mayoral position. Prince Rupert Mayor Jack Mussallem was early to declare he will be seeking re-election, publishing an ad in the Northern View in May, with Rupertite Lee Brain publicizing his campaign for the mayoral seat in June. Mussallem has a decade of experience as mayor, holding the position since 2009 after his first term in the mid-â&#x20AC;&#x2122;90s. Throughout the duration of his nearly 30 years in local government, Mussallem spent 19 years at the executive management level. His experience consists of involvement with five local governments, along with various committees, boards and societies including the Board of Trustees of the Municipal Finance Authority of B.C., the Board of Directors of the Western Transportation Advisory Council, the Coastal Community Network, the Skeena-Queen Charlotte Regional District and

the WESCAPP/Fisheries Legacy Trust. A member of a pioneer family, Mussallem has worked in the fishing, forestry and marine towing industries while in Prince Rupert. While Brain has not been elected for a local government position previously, while enrolled in the Dialogue program at Simon Fraser University he worked with Vancouverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s city council in a mentorship role learning the logistics of managing city affairs. Brain also studied Developmental Psychology, Sustainable Community Economic Development at SFU, and has more than five years of professional facilitation experience and training, and experience in conflict resolution and mediation. Brain is a fourth-generation Rupertite, and while in the community has been a youth program and activities coordinator, small businesses owner and network systems analyst for the Prince Rupert School District. City councillor candidates have not made their intentions to run public as of yet. The Prince Rupert Municipal Election will take place on Saturday, Nov. 15.

Heart of our City

The heart of the Rampage never takes to the ice BY KEVIN CAMPBELL PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

Out on the water on a Sunday, during a particular Seafest celebration over 40 years ago, Jules Robinson had a minute to decide his future with the Prince Rupert Kings senior men’s hockey team in 1972. The Tsimshian Rupertite pondered the ultimatum presented before him; try out with the team as a defenceman and maybe make it, maybe not – or be hired as the trainer, and experience the game of hockey a little differently from then on. “The old grain elevator dock was still up then and so I was on my way up ... and George Kuntz and his wife were on their way out. He was my coach ... and George said ‘What are you doing next year?’ and I said ‘I’m going to try out for the Kings I hope’, and he said ‘Well I was kind of hoping you’d be part of the team anyways as a trainer’,” described Robinson last week. “I said ‘Well geesh you’re going to have to let me think about it’ and he said ‘You’ve got a minute.’” Robinson thought, “Well [this way], if I don’t make the team, I make the team anyways.” “So I just said ‘yeah’ right there.” And for 13 years between 1972 and 1985, Robinson was the head trainer of the storied Prince Rupert Kings. His responsibilities included but weren’t limited to, hanging jerseys in the stalls, readying bath towels, filling waterbottles, packing, unpacking the bus for road trips and setting up the post-game pizza and beers. He learned from Ron Lunny, his mentor for two years before taking over operations himself and the dutiful Kings member rarely missed game-day. Robinson would leave his apartment at 2 p.m. for an 8 p.m. game. He’d sort the sticks, skates, gloves and any minutiae

hockey players may need before and during a match. He would make sure each player had a washcloth for their visor, and a bath towel for the showers. “I’ll bet you when [the players] walked in that dressing room, they thought they were in the NHL,” said Robinson. He’s seen girlfriends, wives, mistresses and players of all types matched to them. He’s seen some great hockey players and some duds. And when the Pacific Northwest Hockey League folded in the ‘80s, partly due to the fact players just stopped coming to Prince Rupert because they didn’t want Kevin Campbell / The Northern View travel such lengths to lose more often Jules Robinson has been the Prince Rupert Rampage’s trainer since the team’s inception in than not, Robinson disbanded with the 2008. rest of the Kings. He fondly recalls Dave Pickett, a small, speedy waterbug who could skate through an entire team, score, and then skate by their bench to celebrate as possibly the greatest centre-man to ever lace ‘em up on the northern coastal town. - Jules Robinson “His nickname was ‘one-way’, because he was fast.

Track stars aim for personal bests in Nanaimo during games BY KEVIN CAMPBELL PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

Cody Schaeffer hasn’t had much down time these days. The Prince Rupert athlete just got back into town after a gig in Richmond saw him play left-mid and striker for the Prince Rupert rep under-17 soccer team, and now he’ll be whisked away down south again to compete in the B.C. Summer Games with Team Northwest for track and field in Nanaimo next week. “It’s been stressful I guess ... but I’ve been pretty good. I’m sleeping in of course,” he said at a practice at Charles Hays Secondary School (CHSS) last week. Sleeping in; what summers are made of. But not for long for Schaeffer and his three Rupert teammates joining him – Kody Deschamps, Isobel Leblanc and Emily Cavin. “The fact they’re out here basically on their own training is a good sign,” said CHSS head coach Dighton Haynes, preparing to rake the long jump sandpit. Schaeffer will run the 100, 200 and 300 metre distances at the games, while Leblanc will compete in the 200, long jump and high jump. Cavin will take on

the 200, hurdles and triple jump, and Deschamps has the 200 and 300 metre runs to deal with. Most of the athletes who they’ll be competing against will be a year older, since Cavin, Leblanc and Deschamps all competed for the Prince Rupert Middle School in Grade 8 this past year. “This is going to be an eye-opener for all of them because they haven’t been to anything this big and then if they can go out there and get close to their personal bests, then they’ll have a successful meet,” said Haynes. Cavin has some extra motivation to perform at her best in Nanaimo. “We’re going down a couple days early to visit some family beforehand. I have an aunt in Nanaimo and some grandparents so they’re going to come watch me,” she said. For Cavin, hurdles have presented the biggest challenge so far, but she’s channeled her inner Perdita Felicien and conquered the obstacles after an initial rough patch. “It’s difficult. The first time I did it I knocked over three [obstacles] and I died in the last 100 metres but I’ve gotten better so I’ll be prepared hopefully,” she said.

Kevin Campbell / The Northern View

Cody Schaeffer will be competing in the 100, 200 and 300 metre races at the B.C. Summer Games.

Leblanc has only recently delved into track and field and it’s helped not only her sporty side but her dancing as well. “It gets you to have more stamina because you’re running a lot,” said Leblanc. Her high jump personal best totals are a metre and 45 centimetres. “I’m also getting put on a relay team

down there but we don’t know who we’re going to be with,” she said. “I’m really excited I think it’s going to be a good experience.” “In the past I’ve found that the athletes who had gone to the Summer Games had such a great experience that they’re really the core of the [school] team for future years,” said Haynes.

Prince Rupert Gymnastics becoming a reality BY KEVIN CAMPBELL PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

Dance, skating, diving and martial arts. These sports require a participant’s core to be tested and hardened and there’s one activity where an athlete can get that and more; gymnastics. It’s also an area that’s found lacking in Prince Rupert. There are no clubs or organizations devoted to the skill, but three members of a new executive committee are trying to change that. Will Spat, Jackie Touchet and Kate Toye form the nucleus of the growing organism that is Prince Rupert Gymnastics (PRG). The three have all held council early this summer and are

My Bike

looking to start a club Prince Rupert can call its own. The nearest club is currently Terrace Peaks, in Terrace, B.C. “We’re looking to start from the ground up,” said Touchet. “My kid’s feet don’t touch the ground. She just climbs on everything so [the moment I heard about it] I said OK I’m in this.” The most pressing need is a physical location. And not just anywhere. The address must be approximately 27 feet from floor to ceiling, with 2500 square feet. It must be affordable for a beginning club, be near a public transit route, and have a sprung floor. The group has looked at a number of different options and found one or two locations they deem plausible for the immediate

future, but there are still some hurdles to leap. The executive team would like more members, but not just anyone. “We’re not an overseeing executive. We’re a ‘hands-on, a lot of work to do’ executive and if you are that person then we would gladly love for you to join,” said Toye. Two coaches have been located in the area and the group hopes to be able to fund them as well as any assistants needed to be full-time paid positions with the club. Their qualifications are being sent to Gymnastics BC to check what updates (if any) are required, Spat wrote in the club’s first newsletter. “It’s not ideal as a civic centre program because we would have to set up [the

equipment] and take it down and with the apparatuses and trampolines and bars, it’s not easy to do,” said Touchet. Fifty families have already shown interest and anyone who has yet to do so can reserve a spot with the club with an annual membership fee of $25 valid from September to August of next year. The fee is not all-encompassing. It will have Gymnastics Canada approval as well as Gymnastics BC backing once a location and equipment is acquired. The club can be emailed at portgym@gmail.com or ‘Like’ the club’s Facebook page at Prince Rupert Gymnastics. “We have so many great examples in Prince Rupert [of successful organizations we can learn from],” said Toye.

Johansen, Gill headline female medal hopefuls Leighton, Dolan, McChesney, Warren in swimming hunt at Summer Games BY KEVIN CAMPBELL PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

Nanaimo is set to welcome the Northwest for the B.C. Summer Games and Suttira Johansen (volleyball), Puneet Gill (soccer) and Zach Dolan, Amy Leighton, Liam McChesney and Robert Warren (swimming) will be hunting for medals. Gill will take her spot among the forward corps of the soccer squad headed by Terrace coach Michael Denomme. Gill is the only Rupertite to make the squad. Johansen, the lone Rupert representative on girls’ volleyball is Northwest’s outside hitter and has earned heaps of praise from Northwest head coach Kam Siemens.

“She just has that athleticism that allows her to adapt very quickly,” said Siemens. “She’s probably her own worst critic. That’s just the way that I know all my athletes are but she just demands excellence out of herself which is wonderful because we don’t have to push her as hard. She just does it.” Johansen will play the outside hitter position on the starting six for the volleyball team. The secondary squad is made up of Grade 8 girls from the region. Johansen joined Siemens’ club team in Terrace while in Grade 8 two years ago when the coach discovered her. The field of competition will be unlike anything the girls have ever faced in the northwest.

“It’s not going to be easy,” said the coach. “This is the best of the best ... [Some of the Lower Mainland zones] have 500 kids to select from. We have 17.” Siemens works on the mental side of the game just as much as the athletic, especially because they’re growing girls, she said. “We may not be the tallest or the strongest but we do have the edge in strategy and teamwork because the people across from you may be better volleyball players than them but it doesn’t make them a team.” The positive aspect is that since there were only 17 players to choose from across the region, the teammates already know each other’s tendencies

before even becoming a team. With the swimmers, Prince Rupert Rapids head coach Chris Street said while the games may be a unique and incredible experience, the level of competition may not reach that of provincials. “The way it works is, you’re sleeping in a school gym and it’s a lot of events over two days ... It’s one of those things that lots of people when they retire, they’ll harken back to this as the most fun they ever had in a swim meet, so it’s a great time and an amazing experience but not necessarily a high-performance environment,” said Street. Dolan, Leighton, McChesney and Warren will be coached by Smithers’ Tom Best.

A tall, old spruce tree that’s been a landmark for years on Highway 16 between Terrace and Prince Rupert and which also serves as a memorial to a woman who died in a car accident is to be cut down. The tree is no longer living and could become a hazard to passing vehicles, says Peter Lansdowne from Nechako Northcoast, the company with the road maintenance contract for a portion of the highway leading toward Prince Rupert. “We’ve had our eye on it for several years. It’s losing its bark and it could become a danger,” he said. There’s no date yet of when the tree will be taken down but it will be within the next two weeks, Lansdowne added. The tree is located on the westbound lane shoulder of the highway on a straight stretch close to the Kasiks Wilderness Resort. It’s been popularly known as the “35 mile spruce tree” because of its distance from Terrace. CN’s rail tracks run on the other side of the highway right beside the river. It was near that spot in June 2009 that a vehicle carrying Prince Rupert teen Ashley Coveyduck and another person left the highway and entered the Skeena River. The other person escaped and suffered minor injuries but despite an extensive search, Coveyduck was never found. A memorial cross with photos was erected at the base of the spruce tree by family and friends. It and the tree were damaged by a fire of unknown origin in August 2011 and the memorial material was subsequently

Date for Tlell Fall Fair doesn’t fall in the fall BY KEVIN CAMPBELL Tlell / The Northern View

The Tlell Fall Fair has one distinction that sets it apart from other fall fairs in British Columbia. It’s not held in the fall. The 32nd annual Tlell Fall Fair, held on the Sunday before B.C. Day every year is the “earliest fall fair in B.C.”, and it’s thanks to wind and rain that the event is pushed ahead to Sunday, Aug. 3 this year. The fair celebrates agriculture on Haida Gwaii and area farmers can show off their produce, livestock and poultry for the masses to see. Contests on livestock, poultry, garden produce, flowers, house-plants, handicrafts, baking and more will be judged at the non-alcoholic event and educational displays and hands-on activities will also give tourists and fair-goers a range of things to do. Canadian singer-songwriter and fiddle virtuoso Sierra Noble will headline the day’s entertainment. The performer has opened for Paul McCartney and Bon Jovi and has played at the 2010 Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver. Musician Rick Scott, a natural storyteller and family entertainer will also be in attendance. Scott has eight children’s albums and three Juno nominations. The popular local band “Out of the Blue” will perform blues, folk, classic rock, southern rock and country. The Tlell fair is a member of the BC Association of Agricultural Fairs and Exhibitions and you can join their Facebook group at Tlell Fall Fair or visit their website online at www.tlellfallfair.com.

An estimated 5,000 people are anticipated to make the canoe trip to Bella Bella for The Tribal Journey Festival which began this week.

Tribal journeys underway in Bella Bella Haida Nations launch canoes for annual voyage BY KEVIN CAMPBELL PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

An eight-day canoe journey was what was in store for the Gitga’at First Nation last week in preparation for a festival of 5,000 coming from the shores of northern Alaska down to Washington. The Tribal Journeys - Qatuwas Festival of 2014 is taking place in Bella Bella, B.C. from July 13 – 19 and First Nations from up and down the coast have been invited by the Heiltsuk people to celebrate a gathering of momentous occasion, and it’s been an annual tradition for over 20 years. “Oh it’s huge. You can’t imagine how huge [the importance of the festival] is,” said Jennifer Clifton, Gitga’at canoe journey events coordinator. “The northern crew is called

“You can’t imagine how huge [the importance of the festival] is.” - Jennifer Clifton ‘Gathering Strength’. That’s the journey we’ve done for the last nine years in the Prince Rupert area ... As we go along to each community, we keep picking up youth participants from each community, so that at the end of the journey, we’ve gathered all the strength we need.” The festival in Bella Bella will feature feasting, sharing, celebrating and ceremonial dancing by the numerous First Nations communities.

Hartley Bay, Nis’ga, Kitkatla and Haida Nations launched their canoes from July 7 to 9 to reach Bella Bella in time for the festival. “On their voyage, the pullers, many of them youth, rediscover traditional ecological knowledge and environmental stewardship about weather and tides. They also gain respect for the ocean and its power and how to work together as a team, building on individual strengths,” said a release by the Gitga’at First Nation. “[The festival] takes the youth out of their comfort zone and they start to look at who they are and where they want to go and what their adult life will look like and how they can achieve that,” said Clifton. Five thousand people are expected to gather for the Tribal Journeys – Qatuwas 2014 Festival.

Energy savings announced for low income families BY TOM FLETCHER VICTORIA / Black Press

BC Hydro and FortisBC are expanding their low-income energy conservation programs to reduce the impact of rising electricity costs. One program offers free energy saving kits, including compact fluorescent light bulbs, weatherstripping, thermometers to optimize operation of the fridge and freezer and a high-efficiency shower head. The other offers free home energy evaluations to see if their

home qualifies for an energy-efficient refrigerator or extra insulation. Energy Minister Bill Bennett said the government changed regulations to increase the low-income cutoff to qualify for the programs. A family of four earning up to $57,200 can now qualify, up from $44,000, a change Bennett said will almost double the number of households who are eligible. The threshold for a twoperson household is $47,100. Customers of the two utilities have to apply and provide proof of income to take advantage of the programs.

Gitxsan serve eviction notice on Skeena anglers, foresters BY TODD HAMILTON PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

Gitxsan chiefs say they issued eviction notices on Thursday to all sports fisheries, forest industry and CN Rail to leave Gitxsan territories by Aug. 4. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This notice is pursuant to ayokim Gitxsan supported by the decision by the Supreme Court of Canada that the Crown must obtain consent and preserve the interests of the Gitxsan before carrying on any activities on Gitxsan lax yip, 33,000 sq km of territory in northwestern British Columbia,â&#x20AC;? the Gitxsan Hereditary Chiefs

stated in a press release. The Gitxsan said this eviction notice affects all sports fisheries on the Skeena River and tributaries, all forest activities authorized by BC Timber Sales and FLNRO, and CN Rail. All are expected to vacate and cease activities on August 4, 2014 until both the Province of B.C. and the federal government have obtained the consent of the Gitxsan Hereditary Chiefs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Crowns have carried on what the Gitxsan Chiefs believe to be a fraudulent consultation process by FLNRO BC Timber Sales and have not implemented any consultations before permitting sports

fisheries and transportation of goods by CN Rail. This is a huge trespass on Gitxsan lands by the Crown and makes futile any efforts by the BC LNG Team to develop any meaningful relationship or reconciliation with the Gitxsan Hereditary Chiefs,â&#x20AC;? the chiefs said. Sagum Higookw, Vernon Smith states: â&#x20AC;&#x153;In line with our ayookw, the Supreme Court of Canada says repelling trespassers is a necessary element of our title.â&#x20AC;? DFO and FLNRO did not immediately comment on the eviction notice. However, Al Martin, of the B.C. Wildlife Federation, told the Globe and Mail that

the Tsilhqotâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;in case is a game changer and the Gitxsan declaration is unsettling, but he advises fishermen and hunters not to panic. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Well, the landscape has just changed from being Crown land and private land, to Crown land, aboriginal title and private title so I think that hunting and fishing will change across the province. I guess the question is: How will it change?â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hopefully this [Supreme Court ruling] will give us an opportunity to ensure the changes are positive in terms of the sustainability of wildlife and still provide opportunities for First Nations and non-First Nations alike to participate in hunting and fishing.â&#x20AC;?

SFUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Beedie School prepares Prince Rupert for global trade opportunity

s the Prince Rupert region continues to show signs of growing into a major trade centre operating as an important part of global trade networks, more opportunities in business will present themselves to residents. Conversely, as the region grows into this global trade hub, competition for the best jobs will increase and expectations for performance and qualifications will rise. While there will be many shorter term opportunities â&#x20AC;&#x201C; especially in trades related to the construction of major facilities â&#x20AC;&#x201C; there will be relatively smaller numbers of long-term career opportunities. LNG liquefaction facilities employ about 10 times as many people during the peak of the construction phase as they do in the steady state of operations, for example. Â To compete successfully for the smaller number of long-term career opportunities that are opening up will require skills and credentials that have not previously been readily available in communities such as Prince Rupert.Â The Beedie School of Business at Simon Fraser University is responding to this emerging need by offering to deliver its widely recognized Master of Business Administration (MBA) in Prince Rupert, in collaboration with Northwest Community College.Â â&#x20AC;&#x153;As northern regions in B.C. experience unprecedented growth, it is important for business schools to work with communities to prepare their residents for the opportunities coming their

way,â&#x20AC;? says Mark Selman, Director of Corporate Programs and Advisor to the Dean at the Beedie School of Business. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Beedie School of Business MBA program responds to the changing face of B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s business environment, and will ensure that Prince Rupert residents possess the advanced business skills required to benefit from the increasing level of investment in the region.â&#x20AC;? SFU has experience delivering similar programs in the region, having previously offered a well-received MBA in Kitimat in partnership with Alcan and other local organizations. Over the course of 2014, the Beedie School of Business will be assessing the level of interest in the communities with the intention of starting the program in April 2015. The school will be working with progressive employers who see the need to help their employees grow into the new opportunities forthcoming within their organization. The MBA program will also be open to individuals who wish to enroll individually, and the school is seeking to establish an awards program that would help offset the cost of the program for well qualified individuals who lack the financial support of their employers.Â For more information about this program, please attend the information session on July 16 at 5:30 pm at the Prince Rupert Northwest Community College campus on 353 5th St. or call 778-782-9698.

Question of the Week Driveway test driver Zack Spencer says today’s crossover vehicles have replaced the popular station wagon of yesteryear. Do you agree? Is there something about the station wagon that appeals more to you?

Lexus joins the compact crossover lineup with the all-new NX.

Go to DrivewayCanada.ca to submit your answer. QUESTION

OF THE WEEK!

Drive The worldwide launch of the NX was held right here in B.C., driving between ultra modern Vancouver and the rustic resort of Whistler. International guests were exposed to the two sides of the NX, the polished city vehicle and the weekend getaway SUV. Powering around the mountain resort, I got my first shot at the all-new 2.0L direct inject turbocharged 4-cylinder that Lexus will use in a number of its vehicles. With 235hp and 258 lb.-ft. of torque this new power plant does a good job once the NX 200t is in motion; it is getting away from a stop that could use a bit more snap. AWD is standard across the lineup but the system is designed to run in front wheel drive as much as possible to help save fuel. Lexus has made no bones about its target; it sees the Audi Q5 as the benchmark in this class. Audi has been at the small turbocharged game a lot longer and it shows, plus the handling of the NX isn’t sharp at all. In fact, all the passengers inside the base model test vehicle noticed the top-heavy body roll. Verdict What Lexus (Toyota) has been up to over the past ten-plus years is

producing hybrid cars in numbers nobody else can touch. This new NX is also available as a hybrid, but don’t expect any kind of show-stopping performance. Rated at just 194hp, the heavier NX 300h hybrid might be outclassed by just-as-thrifty diesel options in the market. The price of the NX 200T has not been set but if you look at the Audi Q5 as a target, expect the price to start at roughly $41,000 when it goes on sale at the end of 2014. Fuel economy has also not been set but with a direct injection turbocharged 4-cylinder under the hood, this new Lexus should be better on fuel than the larger RX350 equipped with a V6 engine. As the small SUV market continues to grow, and this new NX certainly is one of the most eye-catching to come along in a while. The Lowdown Power: 235hp 2.0L turbo or 194hp hybrid Fill-up: N/A Sticker price: N/A

Safety Tip: There are some quick safety checks you can make on your vehicle to protect yourself and your passengers. For starters, make sure the head restraints are at least level with the top of the head and as close as possible to the back of the head to help prevent injury.
