Pacific Northwest LNG looks to 2016 CEAA approval only condition for construction
Heart of our city: Rick Trayling Page A5
BY SHAUN THOMAS PORT EDWARD / The Northern View
While both the pipeline to feed the terminal and the site of the project itself face legal challenges from Northwest First Nations, Pacific NorthWest LNG president Michael Culbert says the company is optimistic heading into the new year. “We are now awaiting approval from the Canadian - Michael Culbert Environmental Assessment Agency (CEAA), which has a very thorough review process ... we’re hopeful that, when the election is done, CEAA will have the information it needs to make that recommendation,” he said.

“We’re very hopeful to move forward with construction very quickly.”

NWCC Academy raises concerns at school board BY KEVIN CAMPBELL PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

In response to the Prince Rupert School District 52 (SD52) school board’s request to hear comparisons between the newly-developed Academy at Northwest Community College and their own class offerings through the school district, superintendent Sandra Jones presented a juxtaposed look at the two programs at last week’s school council meeting. The Academy gives Prince Rupert-area Grade 11 or 12 students an opportunity for accelerated learning by offering first-year university courses at the same time as they are completing their high school diploma. It’s largely aimed at home-schooled students or students taking online courses. The program hasn’t started up yet, but The Academy is currently offering more information on the Northwest Community College (NWCC) website, including a program cap (25 students) and tuition costs.

Jones’ report to the board touched on numerous aspects of both The Academy and SD52’s own curriculum. She went on to say The Academy claims to offer a customized academic experience to meet specific needs, has courses that suit the student’s schedule and needs — from the fine arts to everything else — offers a low student-to-teacher ratio, has course work provided online and is a cost-saving measure for parents comparing The Academy’s tuition to other post-secondary schools. Jones added that The Academy also offers no extra-curricular or collaborative projects for the students, while the school district offers multiple extra-curricular programs, with an opportunity to work in groups and with others. SD52, as outlined by the superintendent, also gives students customized learning opportunities and academic programs, offers 150 courses (while not teaching all simultaneously, they are available if there is a demand), offers online courses, work experience, apprenticeships and the ACE IT
program – training in welding or construction electrician work — has a low student-to-teacher ratio (though not as low as The Academy’s), has a blend of online and in-class work available, does not charge tuition and offers multiple extracurricular programs. “We already offer a lot of fine arts credits in the schools. We can develop courses [if there is a need],” said Jones. “I think if we’re really thinking about what a quality education looks like, I don’t think we need to go much further than what we’re offering, and I am sorry that the college saw that as an opportunity to take students from our system into that. We’ll see where it ends up ... The value of Prince Rupert is in its diversity. When you go to school in Prince Rupert, you’re going to be exposed to a wide range of ideas and beliefs and customs and students of all stripes, with very talented, passionate educators at the front of those classes helping steer that. I think that is a healthy way to get your education.” See ACADEMY on Page A2

NWCC responds to concerns ACADEMY from Page A1 NWCC’s Ann Rowse, regional director of the Western Region, said The Academy was formed by the interests of business in the community. “They asked us to specialize in giving kids an option in terms of expediting the graduation or accelerating the graduation [of advanced students],” Rowse said. “We’ve heard the concerns of school districts and we took into consideration what the proponents were coming to us [with] and wanting to happen ... So we really haven’t gone - Ann Rowse forward with it, we’re just trying to get clarification from the proponents that wanted it in the first place. But we’re very sympathetic to what the school district is saying and certainly we don’t want to harm any partnerships.” Rowse continued to say that The Academy was meant to be a different path for students who are on the fast-track to graduating. “We want to take everyone’s consideration into it and we don’t want to fragment any relationships, but this is just what some of the big players in the community and industry and business have said they’ve wanted, so we just put it out there ... We really wanted to partner with the school district to make sure they were in no way offended or that it had any negative reflection on them. That was key to our message too,” she said.
“We’re very sympathetic to what the school district is saying.”

Approval expected to come soon Court challenges being discussed LNG from Page A1 “We’re very hopeful we can move forward with construction very quickly and are positioning ourselves to do that,” he said. Culbert acknowledged the court challenges, specifically the title claim launched by the Lax Kw’alaams, but noted the company is not claiming ownership of Lelu Island and that it is under federal jurisdiction. As for the concerns around salmon, Culbert said both he and CEAA are having ongoing discussions with stakeholders around that issue. “We’re having ongoing discussions with the federal government, with scientists and with First Nations chiefs and representatives ... the key desire of everyone is to have minimal, if any, impact on salmon and their habitat,” he said. “We’re excited to move forward. As we move through the project, the science supports the idea of a minimal impact to fish and that any impact there might be can be mitigated with the current acceptable measures.”

Pacific NorthWest LNG is hoping to begin construction shortly after CEAA approval.
“The key desire ... is to have minimal, if any, impact to salmon.” - Michael Culbert Culbert’s comments come on the heels of the annual LNG in B.C. conference in Vancouver, which Culbert said shows continued interest in growing the industry. “I have been fortunate to
attend all three of the government sponsored conferences. What I saw initially was that in 2013 it was a new industry with a glimmer of hope and last year expanded on that with a significant number of proponents and international investors,” he said. “This year that continued with proponents, First Nations and major international LNG players attending ... although the numbers are down, I saw it as less tire kicking and more serious discussions.”

Legal challenged to pipeline launched BY SHAUN THOMAS PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View
As the Lax Kw’alaams band heads to court seeking title to Lelu Island in order to prevent construction of the Pacific NorthWest LNG terminal, a group within the Gitxsan Nation is filing a legal challenge to the pipeline that would supply gas to the terminal. The Luutkudziiwus, a Gitxsan Nation House Group, filed a legal challenge to the Prince Rupert Gas Transmission Project on Oct. 14, saying the project does not have approval to cross 34 kilometres of their traditional territory and was approved without necessary consultation. “We are taking the government to court over the lack of consultation, inadequate baseline information presented, a weak and subjective impact assessment and the current cumulative effects from past development. People from all over northern B.C. are now outraged about the $40 billion Petronas LNG project. It is unbelievable that they claim they consulted with us,” said spokesperson Richard Wright, noting the goal is to have
the B.C. Supreme Court cancel the environmental assessment certificate and BC Oil and Gas Commission approvals for the project. “The province has been stealing from our territory and culture for 150 years, and this needs to end. The proposed pipeline and LNG project is in deep conflict with core Luutkudziiwus interests and values,” said Hereditary Chief Lester Moore. The announcement of the legal challenge was made by Luutkudziiwus representatives in Vancouver on the same day as Premier Christy Clark was scheduled to address delegates of the 2015 International LNG in B.C. conference, a fact that was anything but coincidental. “Our Madii Lii territory is not to be played with by the province of B.C. in their LNG game ... while she tries to maintain a shiny picture of LNG in their conference this week, the reality is that First Nations are being bulldozed and we have had enough,” said Hereditary Chief Charlie Wright. A representative for TransCanada declined comment.

Memorial totem raised at the Crest Hotel Bill Helin’s pole honours his late father, Art “This has been a long-awaited project.”
BY SHAUN THOMAS PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View
It is the first Tsimshian totem pole to be raised in Prince Rupert in more than a decade, but for artist Bill Helin, the significance of the pole raised at the Crest Hotel last Tuesday is much deeper. The pole, in its entirety, is a tribute to Bill’s father Art (Hyemass) Helin. The Raven that sits atop the pole signifies Art’s crest; below that is a likeness of Art, complete with the Crest jersey he wore as one of the best players to grace the court at the All Native Basketball Tournament; Art’s likeness is holding a copper shield, the most valuable item in the culture, with a hummingbird, his wife’s crest, on it. The rest of the pole includes the crests of all other Tsimshian tribes, one salmon for each of his children, blue to signify the ocean and its value and a halibut carved into the wings of the eagle, a reflection of Art’s love of fishing. “This has been a long-awaited project. I wasn’t sure what I was going to be doing for my father’s memorial totem pole, but the owners of the Crest, Tina and Steve Smith, have opened up this opportunity and allowed me to create a tribute pole to my father,” Bill told a large crowd gathered at the Crest Hotel to help with the raising. “I always thought he would pass at
- Bill Helin sea, but I watched his spirit go on to a pain-free environment. I was very, very fortunate that all of us were able to be there when he passed. I thank you all for being here to remember him and to be able to carry on his legacy through Hyemass’ Legend ... thanks Pop.” The pole was raised amid heavy rain on a cold October afternoon, but the weather did nothing to dampen the spirits of those who helped raise the pole and witness a blessing and song from the artist, who was joined by several family members and others who helped in either carving or painting the pole. For Steve Smith, having the pole housed at the Crest was a natural fit given the connection between Art and the hotel. “We are so very honoured to have this totem on our property. Art was a very good friend of my father-inlaw, Bill Murray. Art played on the Crest basketball team and won the provincial championship,” he said at the ceremony. “It’s been an amazing journey because we have had some guests
at the hotel and friends in Prince Rupert help carve the pole, I never thought I would help carve a totem pole but I helped with the salmon and the halibut ... It’s really been an incredible healing journey. I really learned a lot about the Tsimshian culture and it’s been quite emotional.”

Family, friends and fishing key for Rick Trayling Tackle shop owner retiring after 21 years BY SHAUN THOMAS PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View
If you’ll pardon the pun, it is safe to say that Rick Trayling was hooked on fishing from an early age. Rick spent his childhood in Vancouver, a city not necessarily known for its connection to nature, but a trip to the central coast would end up changing his life forever. “When I was 11, my parents shipped me off to a remote logging camp on a lake near River’s Inlet, so everyday there was nothing to do but go fishing. I just took to it and got good at it – in fact I got so good that even at that age the loggers would ask me to take them fishing on their days off. I had a line up waiting to go fishing with me,” recalls Rick, who would develop a passion for fly fishing as part of a school club in Grade 10 and never looked back. “The first full-time job I had after high school was at a store call Woodworth’s running their fishing tackle section in the Oakridge location. I did that for four years, so right out of high school I was working in fishing tackle. That led to a long stint in wholesale fishing tackle sales where I would drive all over the province and sell it at a wholesale level. I’ve made my whole living since high school with fishing in one way or another.” Rick eventually found himself in Whistler living a life many dream of: Working on the ski hill in the winter and spending summers as a fishing guide around the province. Soon word of the exceptional fishing on the North Coast made its way south and Rick thought he would try casting a line on the North Coast. “Fishing brought me to Prince Rupert. I heard there was an opportunity in the late ‘80s to do some saltwater fishing guiding and I came up to investigate that. It panned out and I ended up really liking the area,” he said. “After I spent two seasons guiding I decided to move up here.” Shortly after moving to Prince Rupert, a night out on the town would spark a love that would carry on through more than two decades. “I met my wife at a wine tasting and, oddly enough, I don’t drink wine. I was a single guy, new in town, and a friend of mine told me I should go to this event because we might meet someone. Sure enough, I met her and invited her for lunch, and changed that from lunch to dinner and then we dated and got married a few years after that,” said Rick. Shortly after marrying the love of his life, Rick decided to take the plunge into the world of business,

Rick Trayling built Trayling’s Tackle from the ground up over the course of two decades.
“I thought there was a need up here for a tackle-only store.” - Rick Trayling opening Trayling’s Tackle in its current Third Avenue location. “This was the one thing I hadn’t done ... I thought there was a need up here for a tackle-only store because I had seen them sprout up in the Vancouver area and thought it could be done here,” said Rick. “It was a big move.” The early years of the store were admittedly a challenge. Rick, the store’s only employee, would keep a list of lures that were sold that day by the till so he could order more after the shop closed for the day. But eventually the store started coming into its own. “It started out with very small inventory and I worked it up over the 21 years and made it profitable. I have employed lots of youngsters over the summer in 21 years, had my nephew here since he was six years old and Derek Ridgeway worked with me as the one guy I could pay to work full time and he was here for 11 years. It’s worked out really well,” said Rick, who attributes the longevity of the store to two key components. “Customer service is number one. Selection and

customer service are key ... you have to spend the time to share your knowledge, to show them how to tie a knot or rig a hoochie or tie a fly. If you provide all those things, they go out of here super happy and meet someone on the river who wants to know where they can get tackle.” Now, after more than two decades in business, Rick has decided the time is right to close down shop and go out on a high note. Although the store won’t be shuttered until the end of the year, Rick said his priorities in retirement come down to family, friends and fishing. “I’ve lost a lot of my fishing time. We’re open seven days a week from the May long weekend through to the September long weekend, so for 21 years I haven’t had vacation in the summer,” he said, adding a thank you to his long-time customers, long-time employees and his wife. “I’m getting a little tired of that and that is one of the reasons I am leaving on a high note. I am close to retirement age, so I am looking forward to having free time. I had a lot of free time, but I sacrificed free time for 21 years and I want to get some that back now ... I’m sure it’s going to take me a while to wake up and realize I don’t need to come back here.” Although Trayling’s Tackle won’t be a part of Prince Rupert for long, the Traylings say they have no plans to leave the North Coast. “I love the people here, I love the pace, the air is cleaner and I just can’t say enough good about it,” said Rick.

Looking back at Election 2015
B
y the time this paper goes to press, the election will be over and Canada may or may not have a new government. While full results of the election are available on thenorthernview.com, one of the longest campaigns in Canadian history seems to have also been one of the most uneventful campaigns in recent memory. Perhaps the biggest story coming out of this election is the NDP’s “Orange Wave”, under the leadership of Jack Layton, turning into an “Orange Crash” under the leadership of Tom Mulcair. While the three parties started the campaign essentially deadlocked with around 30 per cent support, the last Nanos Poll, published Oct.18, Shaun Thomas put the NDP at just 19.7 per cent, a double-digit drop from the start of the election. The majority of that support seems to have gone to Justin Trudeau and the Liberal Party, who held a nine point lead in the last poll. It may be difficult to pinpoint what led to this turnaround, but this drastic drop in support across the country is something New Democrats should look long and hard at when it comes to future elections. Perhaps Tom Mulcair simply isn’t the right person to lead a federal party. Perhaps that role should go to someone who has an almost untouchable base of support in their home riding, who has a proven track record connecting with young voters and who is young and energetic and passionate about the issues that matter to the electorate. Wonder where you could find someone like that... Aside from that, the focus of the election seemed to be on whether or not it was time for change, with staunch opposition to another Stephen Harper government forming early and maintaining its momentum until the end. On the local scene, despite so much happening in terms of potential industrial development, one would be hard pressed to see there was an election going on at all. Aside from signs on the street and the occassional extra piece of mail in the mailbox, the 2015 election here in the Skeena - Bulkley Valley riding was the definition of a snoozer.

Letters to the editor
Teach entrepreneurship Editor: Why don’t we teach basic entrepreneurship and the concept of business in high schools instead of the load of socialist dogma foisted on them? If young people have a low prospect of getting a job to have hope for their future, surely some of them are suited to become entrepreneurs. To create a job, you need a business. To create a business, you need an energetic risk taker (entrepreneur) to make an investment. To attract investment, you need a strong expectation of making a profit. Without profits, you have no investment, no business and no jobs. Once a profitable business is established, more people can be hired if there is a demand for its products and services. A growing economy stimulates the demand for businesses to expand. Investment is also economically related to the word “capital” which is where the term capitalism is derived. Private sector jobs contribute to the country’s economy, whereas public sector (government) jobs are paid for by private tax dollars and are a negative drag on the economy. It’s bad for the country when politicians grow the government and create more bureaucratic jobs as it increases taxes. We can’t all work for the government in Canada as that would be communism, a
“Job creation is suffering a slow strangulation.” - Roland Seguin complete loss of individual freedom. Free-market capitalism (with all its faults) has provided more prosperity for individuals of all classes than all other systems that have been tried. The whole western world’s economies are based on free market capitalism, which isn’t going away any time soon. Canadian politicians like to sound important, but they have zero control over outside forces like world oil and other commodity prices, the global economy, stock markets, etc... In order to benefit the economy, governments should make it easier for private businesses to start up and grow by getting out of the way. Job creation is suffering a slow strangulation by over regulation in all branches of government. If one believes in creating private sector jobs, it fits the term ‘fiscal conservative’ or responsible money manager. Roland Seguin, Langley
Question the TPP deal Editor: The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) agreement that was signed in secret should be a warning bell to all Canadians. In signing this deal, before all Canadians are aware of a single detail, Prime Minister Harper has signalled yet again that he will side with corporations before Canadians every chance he gets. Corporations – including foreign corporations – will now be able to sue the Canadian government if democratically enacted laws affect their profit margins. The far-ranging effects this mechanism will have on our environmental protections, water supply, health and welfare are staggering. There is still time to stop this deal,
“There is still time to stop this deal.” - Michael Stewart which will cost Canadians jobs, devastate domestic economies, deliver massive profits to pharmaceutical companies and undermine our food and health standards. I urge all your readers to talk to their local candidates about the TPP, read up on its implications and do what they can to stop this awful, awful deal. Michael Stewart Victoria

Wood trade roots BC as resource leader

RE:PORTT
ritish Columbia is Canada’s most ecologically diverse province, with more than half of its 95 million hectares covered in forest. Over 80% of these forests are coniferous. They range from the dry ponderosa pine forests in the south to the spruce and pine boreal forest along the Yukon border. These vast forests and the softwood products derived from them continue to be a major driver of the BC economy. In fact, more than 40% of regional economies in the province are forestry-based, supporting over 55,000 direct jobs in 7,300 businesses. Despite the industry’s status as a key employer and revenue stream, BC’s entire annual harvest comes from less than 200,000 hectares—less than 1% of the working forest. Sustainability is a central priority. All harvested areas are reforested, with more than 200 million seedlings planted each year to supplement natural regrowth. Approximately 90% of BC’s forests are publicly owned, and the province takes a co-operative approach to land use planning. British Columbians participate in processes that decide which areas should be protected. The public is able to review and comment on forestry plans before any harvesting activities commence. Professional foresters, biologists, and engineers help make decisions about best practices. Audits by independent agencies like the Forest Practices Board are conducted regularly with government and licence holders. In 2009, BC scaled nearly 49 million cubic metres of timber. Coastal forests provided approximately 30% of the harvest, with the remaining 70% coming from the Interior. The primary species harvested is lodgepole pine, accounting for 51%, with spruce and hemlock making up 14% and 9% respectively. Douglas fir, balsam, cedar and other species round out the rest. Softwood products produced include lumber, pulp, newsprint, paper products and shingles. The majority of BC’s forest product is manufactured into lumber at dozens of mills across the province. Lumber accounts for more than 35% of exported forest products, and is in experiencing new demand from expanding Asian markets, particularly China. With the crash of the United States housing market in 2007, BC lumber export volumes fell 59%, leading to lumber production in the province dropping by more than 40% by 2009. This led to major curtailments across the industry, including the closure of 26 sawmills. Fortunately, Chinese imports of softwood lumber nearly doubled each year since 2006. By 2011, China lumber imports rose to 3.1 billion board feet, 25% of BC’s total production. Responding to this shift, BC forest companies are transforming their operations to meet new demands for softwood lumber in Asia. This transformation includes producing a strategic combination of traditional lumber products, new building systems, value-added wood products and other bio-products, which maximize the value of harvested timber and further supports local economies.

PRMS hockey academy a resounding success BY KEVIN CAMPBELL PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View
Prince Rupert’s first foray into the world of hockey classes introduced in the standard school curriculum has gotten off to a flawless start, parents and coaches reported last week. With the introduction of the Pacific Rim Hockey Academy at Prince Rupert Middle School (PRMS) in September, numbers, academy details and feedback have started to roll in. At the School District 52 (SD52) board meeting last Tuesday night, academy coaches Craig Munro, Rick Roemer and Gary Coons outlined for the school board the intricate details of just what’s involved in the academy, how the kids are doing with the on-ice and off-ice sessions and any behavioural or skill-based changes the students are seeing. “From the [Pacific Rim] Hockey Academy, [founder] Craig Millin sets the schedule and it lists what we should be working on throughout the week,” said Munro, who is also a member of the Prince Rupert Rampage, and assistant
coach with the Charles Hays Secondary School girls’ soccer team. Power-skating, footwork, crossovers, backwards skating, tactical skills, breakout drills, neutral zone coverage, power-play tactics, puck-handling and more are explored in the on-ice sessions, Munro told the board, adding that 35 children are involved in the academy this year at PRMS, including eight girls. “There are two groups [of students]. Group One is the Grade 6’s and the girls and Group Two is the Grade 7’s and the Grade 8’s ... Group One will be on the ice one day and while that’s happening, Group Two is at school and they’re doing dryland sessions or in-class sessions fulfilling their goal-setting and nutrition [parts of the academy],” said Munro. The 15 - 17 kids in each group follow the guidance of coaches Munro, Roemer and Coons and there are two goalie instructors – Jamie Lowe and Cole Lindsay — for two goalies in each group. “We can pull aside the kids that need that extra help or that extra support and we can give it to them. That’s kind of
“It’s about much more than hockey.” - Rosa Miller missed somewhat when it comes to minor hockey because [there] it’s drill after drill after drill, play and then get off the ice. So that’s kind of nice,” said Munro. In the classroom portion (each groups alternates the on-ice and dryland and classroom portions each day), the students make a nutrition log for the week, improve their fitness and strength in the gym, and have all come together to hike the Butze Rapids trail and partake in yoga and spin class. The feedback from the kids themselves was glowing as two groups made presentations to the board. The students told them that the academy is not only affecting their hockey skills, but behaviour too, something their parents are backing up. “It’s the best money I’ve ever spent,”
said parent Rosa Miller. “My son ... is more attentive, responsible at night and in the mornings – his bags are packed ... he’s a ‘total student’. It’s about much more than hockey.” Fellow parent Terena Stegavig also wrote a letter to the board, saying that her daughter “is making lunches the night before school, [has become healthier] with dryland training” and “can’t say enough about the program”, also inquiring if Charles Hays Secondary will host the academy next year as well. “I think the key to the program isn’t the instructors, it’s the kids. They’re great – they’re respectful and they’re the ones driving the program right now, in my mind,” said Coons. “We have kids that are here going home and by 7:00 at night, have their hockey gear, their food and everything ready for the next day, which wasn’t happening before. Kids are coming home and telling them what they did on the ice and in the gym ... as teachers and parents know, that doesn’t happen a lot,” added Roemer. The academy continues to run at PRMS until Jan. 15, 2016.

“Lovely ladies” compete to support transition house BY SHAUN THOMAS PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View
Perhaps it was her grace, her elegance, her poise and her beauty that captured the imagination of the judges. Or perhaps it was her long, flowing ... beard. Whatever it was, Mz. Anita Rubntug (Josh Mossini) stood alone as Mz. Judged 2015 following a thoroughly entertaining and laughfilled pageant at the Lester Centre of the Arts on Friday night. Mz. Anita Rubntug was one of a record 18 “lovely ladies” seeking the crown during the competition, which kicked off with a song by emcee Cher Estrada (Rudy Kelly). Following the song, the sold-out crowd blew the roof off the theatre as the ladies made their way out for a dance routine that included some, we’ll say, provocative moves on chairs on the stage. After introducing the judges — former contestant Mz. Hap (Doug Kydd), Mama Cass (Lyle McNish) and Little Miss Muffet (Angelica Jesser), it was time for the talent show. And to say none of the ladies disappointed would be an understatement. Mz. Terious Backwoods (Dallas Allison) got things going by singing and dancing to “These Boots Are Made for Walking” by Nancy Sinatra, which was followed by a display of baseball prowess by Mz. Iva Set (Callum Vetter) and a showgirl-esque dance routine by a lingerieoutfitted Mz. Mounted (Manny Bourque). A pair of duos, a first in Mz. Judged talent competition history, was next as Mz. Anita Rubntug and her sister Mz. Amanda Rubntug (Kendall Mossini) brought some country flavour to the stage with their dance routine, followed by an appearance by Mz. Hoes Down (Brody Bishop) and Mz. Ivanna Rimmer (Craig Rimmer) as 80’s hip hop duo Salt n’ Peppa performing both “Shoop” and “Push It”. Mz. Duh Boat (Dwayne Nielsen) impressed the judges and the audience with a high-energy dance routine, including the worm and some Russian dances performed in high heels, while Mz. Anne
V. Gina (Amor Kloppers) showed her medical background by operating on, saving, kissing and then killing a patient to tunes that included “Like A Surgeon”, “Dr. Feelgood” and “Bad Medicine”. The show took a more mature turn with Mz. Communication (David Walraven) performing a 50 Shades of Grey inspired monologue that was a bit too much for Mz. Hap to take, and that was followed up with Mz. Di Agnosed (Chris Melenberg) proving she ain’t no Holla Back Girl in another well done dance routine. Mz. Studfinder (Wade Niesh) tried to build a rockinghorse cowboy to ride and, although it fell apart at the end, it didn’t stop her from saving a horse by riding a cowboy, a much different routine than the rollerblade and ribbon dance next performed by Mz. Dixie Normous (Dakota Piche) and Mz. Palm Bomb (Devin Palmer) and the Single Ladies dance performed by Mz. Chastity Faith (Julius Lama) Mz. Chalk-a-Lot (Patrick Lindquist) had the audience in stitches with her story about the wooing efforts of “bylaw boy”, while Mz. Trial (Julian Dudley) brought some class to the stage with a ballet number that included cow print tights and a tutu. The final performer of the night, Mz. Messy (Kendall Wing), showed there was more than meets the eye with a dance that started sweet and innocent in a boat but ended in her underwear as dollar bills rained down on the stage. After a swimsuit competition that allowed the competitors to show a more cheeky side to their personality, in more ways than just a ribbon dance, it was time for the judges to reveal their Top 5. Although runners-up, in order, Mz. Palm Bomb, Mz. Terious Backwoods, Mz. Anne V. Gina and Mz. Ivanna Rimmer all held their own in the question portion, it was Mz. Anita Rubntug that wowed the judges. And while Mz. Judged 2015 took home a crown, flowers and a gift basket, the real winner of the night was the North Coast Transition Society, which was able to raise approximately $35,000 to provide support to women and children in the community.

Enbridge ruling reserved BY KEVIN CAMPBELL PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View
With the Vancouver Federal Court of Appeals reserving their decision to uphold or reject the government’s approval of the Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline, a 1,200 km pipeline from Alberta’s oil sands to a Kitimat terminal shipping diluted bitumen, both Enbridge and area First Nations are taking a wait-and-see approach for potential next steps. On Oct. 8, the Federal Court of Appeal in Vancouver ended six days of legal challenges presented in court of arguments against the project, including those by the Gitga’at and the Gitxaala. “[The court] basically just said they’ll come back with a response a little later on and they were going to review the material and get back to our respective lawyers on it,” said Kitkatla Chief Clifford White last week. “For us though, it’s definitely ‘No’ to crude oil going through the territory. One spill would devastate our [land] and all types of seafood and it will actually destroy the beauty and nature of the northwest coast.” Arguments in favour of overturning the government’s go-ahead to Enbridge include stating that the pipeline review panel did not adequately converse with affected First Nations groups or fully take into account the potential threats to the environment that the pipeline’s route would take. North Coast MLA Jennifer Rice weighed in on the issue as well, stating that these proceedings are nothing new for the company. “There is no question that the Enbridge pipelines and supertanker project is not in the public’s interest with the thousands of people who spoke against the project
Find local employees.
during the NEB (National Energy Board) hearings. There is significant opposition from northern First Nations and coastal communities that would be most impacted by the project,” said Rice. “Premier [Christy] Clark confounded this by relinquishing B.C.’s rights to a joint environmental assessment which further eroded British Columbians’ confidence in her government to keep our best interests at stake. I think it’s time we move past the controversial Enbridge project and focus on projects that speak favourably to the rights and values of the citizens of British Columbia and Canada.” Enbridge president of Northern Gateway, John Carruthers, responded after the litigation processes concluded on Oct. 8. “We believe First Nations and Métis peoples should be owners of projects on their lands and territories and should benefit directly from such projects. That ownership will result in such long-term financial dividends, jobs, educational and economic opportunities, and will ensure that First Nations and Métis communities can directly contribute their traditional knowledge to make projects better and safer,” said Carruthers in a statement. “Despite this litigation hearing, we remain committed to working collaboratively with the applicant First Nations and would be very pleased to develop mutually beneficial solutions with them. Northern Gateway is open to change. We will continue to adapt and address First Nation and Métis concerns as they arise and seek opportunities for meaningful, respectful dialogue with all groups.” In June 2014, the government approved the $7 billion project with 209 conditions made by a review panel created to consider environmental impacts.

Rampage keep on rolling Josh Cook adds two goals in big win, Rampage split home-andhome series with Ice Demons BY WILLIAM GYE PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View
This weekend was the tale of two games for the Prince Rupert Rampage. After losing 6-2 in Kitimat on Friday, the boys came back to Prince Rupert with a vengeance. This high flying, competitive hockey was on display Saturday night at the Jim Ciccone Civic Centre. The Rampage jumped all over the Kitimat Ice Demons in the first period, as Pat Robert snuck around two defenders to get to the slot and snuck the puck five hole through the Kitimat goaltender. Josh Cook continued the gritty play with a spectacular Ovechkin-esque goal. After almost losing the puck and falling to the ground, Cook was still able to go top shelf with the puck, where mama keeps the cookies. The period ended with the Rampage leading 2-1. Coach Roger Atchison instituted a strong game plan with a hard forecheck, which led to Kitimat turnovers in the neutral zone. It was clear that tonight would be different than Friday. The buzz in the arena (which was filled almost to capacity) led to a great atmosphere. The first period would be a pre-cursor to how the game would finish. The second period held much of the same for the boys in white. Devin Palmer, after some hard work forechecking, made his own luck and was able to corral the puck and lift it above the goaltender’s left shoulder. Continuing the hard-nosed play Thomas Robinson was able to put the seed of doubt into the Kitimat defenders minds, as his crushing body checks were seen all over the ice. Jean-Luc Fournier delivered one of the most crushing blows

“This was a whole team today and we protect our barn. We don’t lose here” - Tyler Halliday after lining up a Kitimat winger as they tried to break out and was able to crunch him against the side boards, putting him horizontal with the ice. Then the flood gates opened. Palmer was again able to squeeze in behind the D and did the old fore-hand, back-hand shelf job, making it 6-2. The goal almost ended the Kitimat goalie’s night. His night would be ended a couple minutes later, as the Rampage continued to pile on with a beauty tip by Greg Sheppard, and another break-away goal from Craig Munro. The 2nd period ended with a score of 8-2. With the game nearly out of reach for Kitimat, it started to get chippy. The beginning of the third period saw a lot of big hits, a fight and some more end to end play.
Although the result of the game was no longer in question, Rupert and Kitimat both scored in the third, with Cole Atchison of the Rampage and Brad Lueck and Ben Rumley finding the back of the net for a 9-4 final. “I think the fans left with their money’s worth,” Atchison said. “It was a real team effort. I know that’s a cliche, but it was line after line of relentless forecheck. Lines 1-4 were able to keep the energy up.” Atchison spoke about the depth of his team this year. “We picked up five new guys, and a few guys are also in the stands tonight. We have guys competing for jobs in practice, we have some numbers, it sure helps,” he said. One of the beneficiaries of this playing

time was Tyler Halliday, who chipped in with a goal and 21 penalty minutes. “We bounced back from yesterday’s game, we didn’t show up to play. This was a whole different team today and we protected our barn. We don’t lose here,” he said. “As a team we feed off each other, we have been working on the forecheck.” Devin Gerrits had a very strong game in goal for Prince Rupert, stopping 21 of 24 shots. His composure early on helped take the pressure off when the game was tight. “They wanted to hold first place in the league,’ which is where they sit after Saturday’s result,” said Halliday. The Rampage’s next game is Oct. 24 at home, against the Terrace River Kings.

Sports In Brief Rec. Commission to meet Oct. 28 October’s meeting for the Prince Rupert Recreation Commission is just around the corner. The commission will meet this upcoming Wednesday, Oct. 28 at 7 p.m. at the Jim Ciccone Civic Centre’s training room at the top of the stairs near the front entrance. It will be the second meeting since the summer break for the commission and the public is always invited to attend. Meetings usually take place on the fourth Wednesday of every month, save for the summer months.
Rapids host season’s first meet The Prince Rupert Amateur Swim Club (PRASC) Rapids will host the season’s first meet of the fall schedule for the North Coast area. After the city workers strike in Kitimat forced the swim club to switch its scheduled meet from October to January last year, the Rapids will now host the season-opening PRASC October Invitational this year. The meet will be held from Oct. 23 - 25 at the Earl Mah Aquatic Centre and teams from Kitimat, Terrace and the Bulkley Valley are expected to attend. After this weekend’s action, the next meet for select Rapids swimmers will be from Nov. 20 - 22 in Prince George for the Prince George Barracuda Fall Invitational.
Liu victorious at Chile tournament Canadians Adrian Liu and Derrick Ng have won their first tournament of the autumn season. The ex-Rupertite Liu and his men’s doubles partner Ng, both now based in Richmond, defeated the top-ranked duo of the tournament, Americans Phillip Chew and Sattawat Pongnairat on Saturday, 21-13, 20-22, 21-15 in the men’s doubles final. After receiving a first-round bye, Liu and Ng topped the Dominican Republic’s William Cabrera and Nelson Javier 21-10, 21-18. They then faced Mexico’s Job Castillo and Lino Munoz in the semifinals and won 21-14, 21-16. In the final with the world 37th-ranked Americans, 46th-ranked Liu and Ng gained some valuable points in the Badminton World Federation (BWF) system to help them continue their quest to try and qualify for the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Summer Olympics.

Rainmakers hoping to soar to new heights BY WILLIAM GYE PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View
The Charles Hays Senior Boys’ Volleyball team were in action over the weekend, hosting a one day tournament for the first time this season at the Charles Hays gym. Other than the Rainmakers, the teams included were Centennial Christian School, Queen Charlotte Secondary, Caledonia, and Hazelton. Given the stiff AA competition that the Rainmakers will be facing in the regular season, this was an excellent tune up for them moving forward. But Tyler Duffy, a two sport athlete, wasn’t too impressed with their performance, “We could have done better, and have a lot to work on, but we still got the win and finished the tournament 4-0,” he said following the final game. There are a lot of two sport athletes on the team. Justin McChesney is another one of these guys, competing on the basketball and volleyball teams. “We had control of the games pretty much all the way through (the tournament),” he said. The Rainmakers were able to fight through adversity in their last game, being down a couple points late, and finished strong with a victory to record the perfect 4-0 record in the tournament. Centennial Christian School from Terrace offered

“We had control of the games pretty much all the way through.” - Justin McChesney the stiffest task for the Rainmakers in this competition. Although they are in a division lower, the rivalry between Terrace and Prince Rupert seems to bring the competition up a notch. The athletes play hard, and are extremely positive after every point, no matter which way the point goes. The players’ positive attitudes and strong fundamental habits are reinforced from their coaching staff, inclyuding assistant coach Rampi Gill. Gill has some professional experience over-seas playing semiprofessional basketball, and gives the kids some amazing insight into how hard you need to work to make the jump from high school to college, and then to the professional ranks. Having people of this quality involved with the team, gives each member the opportunity to understand what it takes to make that leap. Coach Gill and the Rainmakers’ expectations in the season are to win zones and to compete for a Top 10 place in provincials.

Wong brings skills to PRGA BY KEVIN CAMPBELL PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View
Prince Rupert Gymnastics has found a new coach. Just in time for its second full season, the Prince Rupert Gymnastics Association (PRGA) has brought in new head coach Raymond Wong. Coming from the Lower Mainland, Wong’s background in gymnastics is extensive, including bringing National Coaching Certification Programme (NCCP) experience to the North Coast, as well as a background in artistic gymnastics, athletics and trampoline, outlined a release from PRGA. More specifically, Wong brings his certification in ACRiX – a Gymnastics BC program that combines circus arts with gymnastics. PRGA president William Spat was pleased with the organization’s new acquisition. “Raymond’s presence is a huge boost to gymnastics in Prince Rupert. With improved equipment thanks to community donations from the [Prince Rupert] Lions [Club] and others, the club is on its way to developing athletes to compete at the inter-club level with Zone 7 rivals in Kitimat, Smithers and Terrace. We continue to look for better equipment, a permanent home and more great coaches,” Spat
“Raymond’s presence is a huge boost to Gymnastics in Prince Rupert.” - William Spat said. Currently, PRGA operates out of the Jim Ciccone Civic Centre. Registration for the autumn season for returning participants who already took part in PRGA last year is set for Thursday, Oct. 22 from 7:30 – 8:30 p.m. at the Prince Rupert Library MultiPurpose Room. The athletes have been notified of the date via email. Registration for new members is scheduled for later, with the date to be announced shortly. Classes for this upcoming season will be offered for beginners, aged 3 – 4, all the way up to advanced levels for athletes aged 10 and older and are scheduled to run from November until January 2016 on Sundays at the Jim Ciccone Civic Centre. For more information, contact Prince Rupert Gymnastics Association at portgym@gmail.com.

The CHSS junior girls’ volleyball team had an intense play day this past weekend when the girls ended their undefeated streak by losing two games in Smithers. It made the girls realize that some play days don’t always go as hoped, but it also made the team realize the hard work they have to put in before zones in three weeks. The girls’ motto is to “stay humble and hopeful”. Grade 10’s Hannah Scherr was named Rookie of the Play Day and best friend and teammate Janna Nelson was named Team All Star.

How you can support local small businesses Owning a business is the goal of many would-be entrepreneurs. Being your own boss has certain perks, including making your own hours and not having to report to anyone but yourself. But owning a business is a lot of work, especially for new business owners trying to get their businesses off the ground. According to Bloomberg, eight out of 10 entrepreneurs who start businesses fail within 18 months of opening their doors. The Small Business Association indicates the numbers are not so dire, saying 30 percent of new businesses fail in the first two years of operation; 50 percent during the first five years; and 66 percent during the first 10. Local businesses face an uphill battle to survive, but there are many things residents can do to support these valuable additions to their communities. — Shop locally. Shopping locally not only supports local businesses, but it also contributes to the local economy. Shopping locally keeps money in the community, which can benefit everyone. Shopping locally produces a trickledown effect, as local businesses that are thriving may patronize other local businesses, and so on. This, in turn, helps
grow other businesses in the community, making it a nicer place to live and work. — Spread the word. Word-of-mouth advertising is effective. A respected member of the community who shares a good experience with a local business may propel others to patronize the business. Speak up when you feel a business owner has provided an exceptional level of service. Recommend a company to friends and neighbors. You also may want to review a business via online rating websites such as Yelp or Angie’s List. — Attend grand openings. Each community is unique, and often the vibe of a community is defined by the businesses that call that community home. Attend grand openings to show you are invested in the quality and vitality of your community. When others see a business doing well, they may be more inclined to shop there as well. — Apply for work. Another way to support a local business is to work for one. Small local businesses employ millions of people across the country, and many foster great working environments. In addition, small businesses are known for their customer service, and employees
often become experts in their products and services because of the hands-on experience they gain while working for small businesses. Supporting and celebrating local businesses can instill a sense of community pride and benefit the local economy in a myriad of ways.

Is it normal aging or signs of dementia? How do we know the difference between normal aging and the warning signs of dementia? It’s a question many Prince Rupert residents are asking as they face one of the most pressing health issues in B.C.: the increasing incidence of Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias.

Free movies for a good cause BY SHAUN THOMAS PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View
Residents of the North Coast will be able to enjoy free movies on Saturday morning beginning at 9 a.m. as Cineplex hosts its fifth annual Community Day. Movies to be shown in theatres across the country include Despicable
Master of Business Administration
Me 2, Fast & Furious 6, Dr. Seuss’ The Lorax, Pitch Perfect, Hop and Dumb and Dumber To. As well as free movies, many of the items at the concession will be reduced to $2. Money raised from concession sales and from donations during the day will support of Free the Children, an international charity aimed at removing
educational barriers for children around the world. “Last year the 125,000 Canadians that came to our theatres on Community Day helped us to raise over $530,000 in one morning and I hope that this year we’ll raise even more,” said Ellis Jacob, president and CEO of Cineplex Entertainment.
