BC Forest Minister Pat Bell said the province needs a direct shipping route to China from either Prince Rupert or Vancouver to really meet the needs of that market for BC softwood lumber. “The big opportunity is to get direct shipping from Prince Rupert to China. Right now the ships come from China to Prince Rupert and sail down to the United States before coming back, and a direct ship would do away with a lot of the loading and unloading time,” he said during a February 22 media call, adding that currently all of the

empty containers that can be shipped back with lumber are being stuffed. “There would be a huge economic benefit to us to get direct shipping from BC to China…When you look at the tonnage handled, it is the equivalent to a loaded ship leaving BC every three days.” Bell made the comments during a call outlining the significant growth seen in shipments to China. Last year there was $687 million of softwood to the country, making it the second largest importer of BC lumber behind only the United States. And Bell said he only sees that number growing. “Our original goal was to export fourbillion board feet in 2011, a goal that was

set in 2008. At the time most people thought I was nuts…On an annualized basis, the December export numbers point to five billion board feet and if you go back to November the annualized amount is 4.5 billion board feet. I have no question we will meet the goal of exporting four-billion board feet and I wouldn’t be surprised to see that number at 4.5 to five billion board feet,” he said. “I believe in the next few years there will be a time when the shipments to China exceed shipments to the US on their own.” That being said, Bell said the biggest challenge going forward would be building capacity in the province.

Minister announces $593,000 in funding By Alan S. Hale The Northern View

Last week’s cold weather may have been an inconvenience for some, but the mix of cold temperatures and clear skies made skating on Oliver Lake possible.

The Minister of State for Western Economic Development, Lynne Yelich was in Prince Rupert on Wednesday to announce $593,000 in new federal funding for projects in the Skeena - Bulkley Valley riding. The money is going to be spent on four different projects, most of which are focused on tourism. The projects are: improvements to the North Pacific Cannery buildings, a 10-kilometre hiking trail between Metlakatla and Slippery Rock near Lax Kw’alaams, a saltwater aquarium and interpretive garden for Queen Charlotte’s Visitors Centre, and an expansion to the boat launch in Bella Coola. “It’s definitely going to create jobs, it’s going to take people to build these sites . . . There will be opportunities for people to become guides and there are lots of possibilities,” said Yelich. The money is from the West Coast Community Adjustment Program, which was

North Coast MLA Gary Coons and Minister of State for Western Economic Development Lynne Yelich listen as Cory Stephens of the Metlakatla Development Corporation outlines plans for the trail created to stimulate the economies of B.C. communities after the apparent decline in salmon stocks. Chief administrative officer for Port Edward, Ron Bedard, accepted the $250,000 worth of funding for the North Pacific Cannery on behalf of the Port Edward Historical Society. The society has been trying to find money to help improve the cannery site and has even taken out a loan from the regional district. The federal money will

be spent on replacing 187 of the 584 piles that hold the buildings above the water. Bedard is glad to see the historical site get the much-needed money, but its not going to cover everything. “There are literally millions of dollars worth of work that needs to be done, so this is going to be an ongoing thing,” said Bedard. The Metlakatla Development Corporation is being given $245,000 to help build a hiking trail along 10 kilometres of coast between the communities of Metlakatla and Lax Kw’alaams. The trail will be modeled after the West Coast Trail on Vancouver Island, where hikers have to purchase a pass to get access. The proposed trail will have suspension bridges, lookout towers that will reach the top of the tree canopy, and Now offering Customer Rewards program, campsites scattered earn points and redeem for merchandise such as: along the length of the Future Shop, Foot Locker, HBC or trail. redeem for Areoplan Points! “We can have guided tour groups come in, view the towers and March is Customer Appreciation Month come back in two-andB&W Wholesaling Pricing On: a-half hours.

â&#x2014;&#x2020; A CONCERTED EFFORT

Groups, businesses working to beautify downtown core By Monica Lamb-Yorski The Northern View Building on the momentum of an initial meeting held in January at City Hall, local business owners, contractors and other volunteers are making plans to spruce up Prince Rupertâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s downtown. Applying a fresh coat of paint or creating some temporary park-like spaces are some of the projects the group has in mind. And as people hear about the project, enthusiasm is growing with more people coming on board to lend a hand, said Sharon Rothwell of Rona.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I talked to the Colt Stava of the Rupert Rampage and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s committed to some labour hours. If we want to clean up or paint or something, his guys are on board,â&#x20AC;? Rothwell said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve agreed to do an event at our store and all the money we raise will go toward downtown beautification.â&#x20AC;? Glen Saunders, owner and operator of buildings and businesses in Cow Bay, said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s convinced there are doable projects that can easily help the downtown look better even if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s for the short term. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think what I would like to see and what Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been starting to work on are some of the

empty lots that are empty in the downtown. They are key locations,â&#x20AC;? Saunders said of the initiative. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One beside Cookâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jewellers, the one beside Zorbaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and the one where the old Epicurean was. I see those as easy quick areas to clean up and have them look better quite quickly.â&#x20AC;? Even moving some of the Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s surplus planters, now on the waterfront by the Via Rail Station, would help, Saunders added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At the Epicurean site, with three trees and a couple of benches, the place will be cleaned up.â&#x20AC;? Saunders also pinpointed some derelict

buildings in the downtown that all need paint. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It might not be a perfect fix, it might not be hardy plank, but if we could divide up and commit to take care of one building or area, so that we kind of divide and conquer,â&#x20AC;? Saunders said, adding that several people in the community have told him they will donate paint, buy a can or donate time to come out and paint. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d get it done this April so that when the summer hits weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve actually made a physical difference, with not a lot of money but with a little bit of effort.â&#x20AC;? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a perfect fix, he added, but it will be grass roots.

â&#x2014;&#x2020; A CHANGE IN THE ROUTE

Tour de North not coming to Rupert By Arthur Williams Black Press

here, we want to get communities involved who had asked if we could visit them, and we want to, in some ways, give the Highway 16 communities a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;restâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. The same people are usually involved in the events each community holds during the ride, and we decided to give them a year off,â&#x20AC;? he said. He expects the ride to return to the Prince George to Prince Rupert route in 2012, and says that while no plans have been made, the ride could change each year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We might decided in the future to go from Prince Rupert to Prince George one year.â&#x20AC;? Just as the Highway 16 route featured the cyclists taking a side-trip up to Fort St. James, this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s riders will take a side-trip to Mackenize on their way through. The closest tour stop to Prince Rupert will be in Prince George on September 13 and this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goal is to raise $225,000.

Dan Wingham of the Canadian Cancer Society Cops for Cancer Tour de North says that a change in the itinerary for the coming ride will leave Prince Rupert without a chance to see the riders this fall. The highlight of his update on plans for the 2011 ride, which features RCMP officers and auxiliaries from across the north as well as a few civilian riders, is a change in direction. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is the 10th anniversary of the event,â&#x20AC;? Wingham said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For the last nine years, the Tour has gone from Prince George to Prince Rupert. This year, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve changed the route. In September, we will be riding from Fort St. John to Williams Lake.â&#x20AC;? Wingham says the distance cycled is about the same, so the event will still be a one-week ride. He cited a numbers of reasons for the change. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to create greater regional awareness of pediatric Year of the Rabbit Chineses New Year cancer services available

MY VIEW…

Bandwidth and usage-based bills... I read with interest the piece that Alan wrote this week on CityWest and usage-based billing, a story I’ve been following intently since we first started covering it in the pages of the Prince Rupert Northern View. Now I’m not a gamer or a heavy downloader or someone who streams movies online, but I enjoy the prospect of being able to surf the web as I see fit without having to worry about additional charges based on my activities. If I were a gamer, either on computer or through online console services like Xbox Live or the Playstation Network, those concerns would certainly be heightened - thinking about whether or not it’s costing me extra to explore the online RPGs or take out those pesky players in online shooters. It’s something that we, particularly my generation and the generations behind us, have come to expect - that the Internet is something there for everyone and something that we can view and utilize without restrictions on how much we see or download or do (within the law of course). But as someone who is, I guess, a casual Internet user, I see CityWest’s point as well. Who among us can say we haven’t noticed a decline in the speed of our connection or the quickness of page loads after people get home from work and hit the world wide web? Well, that slowdown has to do with bandwidth and how much is being used. And those users who download the large files and compete with people online are chewing up a big chunk of that bandwidth. I’m not saying that in a negative way, that’s just how it is.

CityWest also has to look at this from a business perspective, and we in the community should be aware that if CityWest isn’t acting to create a sustainable business that dozens of jobs are on the line. The Internet is a resource and a tool, but like anything it has to be worthwhile to the people who offer it. Like any business, if you’re losing money doing it then it may be time to re-examine how you operate.

I was glad to hear that casual users wouldn’t see much of a difference on their bill and light users may see a decline. Charging heavy users more seems to be the way things are going, as demonstrated by the recent hotel sewer debate. But that’s my two cents, as a casual user of the Internet. I encourage everyone to let CityWest know your thoughts as this discussion continues to evolve.

Details are important in understanding visitor experience When we see things every day, no matter what sense of wonder we felt when we first saw them, they gradually become commonplace. This theme arises in many of my conversations. We are lucky, at Tourism Prince Rupert, because we are repeatedly reminded by visitors of how magical this place can seem. I will stop to allow a family of deer to cross the street at a crosswalk, giving it no more thought than I would if it were a human family. Over the past while we’ve seen whales, porpoises and sea lions in the harbour with some regularity. We take these things for granted. For the visitor these things are extraordinary. The visitor, before even seeing these things, is already struck by far simpler things, things that completely escape our notice. When we hear, “Gosh, it sure is green here,” we stop, see again with fresh eyes, and think, yes, it is very green here compared to most of the places from which our visitors come. We are, after all, a coastal rainforest.

on the water, they are “just there.” But lighthouses by themselves can draw visitors by the score. They have a powerful mystique. Travel to view and photograph lighthouses, or even just collecting images or replicas of lighthouses, for many people symbolizes coastal living – a romantic ideal. Putting this all together, one can see how the entire experience not only delivered upon expectations (often featuring whales en route to the Khutzeymateen, or a grizzly spotted on a whale watching trip), but exceeded expectations in so many different ways. For, say, a cruise ship passenger who experienced nothing else here except this excursion, they will dream of Prince Rupert, talk to their friends about Prince Rupert, and spread a powerful and positive message. We tend to overlook these things that are familiar to us. It’s been my experience that working in the tourism industry keeps these familiar things top of mind, and makes us more appreciative of what an amazing place this really is.

“Not really. I don’t think about that sort of stuff.”

“I do have concerns, because I think it’s inaccurate to rank schools by one test.”

“If it helps brings kids motivation back then I think it’s a good idea.”

“Yes I do have concerns. My brother put his kids in another school because of the test results.”

HST is no friend of local service clubs Editor: Many readers will have noticed the donation boxes for Lion Mints at various locations around town. The Kaien Island Lions Club puts money from these donations towards

many local projects. Sadly, the HST has caused an increase in the cost of providing the mints, which are made by Life Savers. A case of mints with GST = $7.61 The same case with HST = $19.91, an increase

◆ FEDERAL AFFAIRS

Municipal leaders talk budget hopes with federal minister By Alan S. Hale The Northern View Minister of State for Western Economic Development Lynne Yelich met with local political and business leaders on her trip to Prince Rupert last Wednesday to get their input on what the city wants to have in the next federal budget. Yelich said she wanted to hear ideas from the community that would improve the economy while not creating new spending programs. “[I’m here] to see if there are some ideas particularly around the challenges here. Sometimes there are challenges that federal governments don’t always know about; regulations or some of the day-to-day things that can make

it very difficult for businesses or economies to thrive,” said Yelich. While the meeting with the minister was behind closed doors, it does appear that federal government’s support of port expansion in Prince Rupert was at the forefront of the discussions. Yelich told those gathered at the meeting that she recognized how important the port was to the entire region. In an interview, Yelich said the biggest concerns raised at the meeting was the region’s ability to take advantage of new importing and exporting opportunities, ways to improve tourism to the entire region, and attracting new people to the region. “They just want to make sure

that we have a vision that started with the Asia-Pacific Gateway,” Yelich said. “We started that vision, and I’m glad to say that there’ll be a lot more input from this area.” While political leaders such as the Mayor of Prince Rupert, Jack Mussallem, were present at the meeting, the region’s elected representative to the Federal Government Nathan Cullen was not invited to take part or told about the meeting by Yelich or her staff. Yelich says that she wanted to hear directly from the community and not from more federal politicians. It should be noted however that a federal Conservative Party candidate was present.

◆ OPTIONS FOR IMPROVEMENT

District of Port Edward looks at its dock and boat launch By Shaun Thomas The Northern View

A T YOUR S ERVICE

The District of Port Edward is looking to improve the conditions of the boat launch in the community, and will be leaving it up to the users of the facility to help raise the funds needed to widen the launch. The idea was brought forward at the February 22 meeting of Port Edward council, with councillor Dan Franzen championing

the effort. “I would like to see a box installed that people could put some money into, and that money would be used for improvements to the launch and the dock,” he said. “It wouldn’t be a requirement to pay, it would be up to the people, but if you get $500 from it, then that’s $500 you didn’t have before.” The idea was one that found favour among the councillors in attendance.

“I know people that come here from Alberta that like to use the Port Edward boat launch, and I am sure they would be happy to put in some money to see the facility improved,” said councillor Knut Bjorndal. As well as putting in a box for improvements to the boat launch, council gathered at the docks late last week to look at options related to the fish cleaning table. Last year there was a grizzly bear shot in the community that had been frequenting the

dock area because of the abundance of fish waste that gathered along the shore. Council and the DFO had been asking fishermen to throw their fish waste off of the end of the dock, where the tides would carry it away, but much of it was being disposed of in the shallows where it remained and was exposed at high tide. Council will be making a decision on the fish dock at a later meeting, but plan to do something before the tourism season gets underway.

◆ OPPOSING OIL TANKERS

A SEA OF PINK…

MP, union lash out at BC Premier By Alan S. Hale The Northern View

Shaun Thomas photo

Staff at Chances and their families all sported pink “Bullying Stops Here” shirts on February 23 to show their support to the antibullying campaign.

MP Nathan Cullen has accused former B.C. Premier Gordon Campbell of cozying up to the oil industry in order to ensure himself a job once he leaves office. The accusations come after Campbell joined the Premiers of Alberta and Saskatchewan, in sending an open letter to Prime Minister Stephen Harper, calling on him to defeat a bill in the House of Commons that would ban oil tanker traffic along the north coast of B.C. “It almost feels as though he’s padding his resume for his next job: Sitting on a board of directors or two in the oil industry,” said Cullen. In the letter sent to the PM, Campbell, Ed Stelmach and Brad Wall call on the Conservative

government to defeat bill 606, a private members bill introduced by Vancouver-based Liberal MP Joyce Murray. The bill, if passed, would change Canada’s shipping rules and would ban oil tankers from sailing the waters along BC’s northern coast and Vancouver Island. This would almost certainly impact plans by oil company Enbridge Inc. to build a pipeline that would end in Kitimat, plans which have been fiercely opposed by environmental and First Nations groups. Cullen introduced a successful motion in the House of Commons late last year that called on the Harper government to ban tanker traffic. He says that picking to side with the oil industry will only tarnish Campbell’s legacy more than the HST debacle already has. “The premier has no legitimacy to talk about this. Personally, I find it offensive that somebody who campaigned for years on environmental issues and First Nations respect would choose this issue as his final legacy piece,” said Cullen. But Cullen wasn’t the only one lashing out at the Premier for the letter. “If Gordon Campbell is not prepared to protect the North Coast of BC from catastrophic oil spills it is good he is finished as Premier,” said Arnold Nagy, President of UFAWU-CAW Local 31. “North coast residents have said no to oil pipelines and no to oil tankers many times over the years. Sustainable economic development on the coast does not involve oil. Oil brings with it huge economic risks and few benefits either in jobs or business,” said Joy Thorkelson, Northern Representative for the UFAWU-CAW A representative from the Prime Minister’s office says that Bill 606 puts the economic recovery of Canada in jeopardy and that the Harper government has every intention of voting against it.

◆ ON THE STAGE

Celtic Night highlights Irish arts By Martina Perry The Northern View On Saturday, February 26, the North Coast Performer’s Society presented the 14th annual Celtic Night that included Irish and Celtic dancing and fantastic musical artists at the Lester Centre of the Arts. This year Celtic Night was different from the past because performers from outside of the region were brought up to join in the evening of excitement. Act one started off with some of these new faces when Sydney Tucker and Rex Anderson from the O’Brien-O’Connor School of Irish Dance performed “The 2 Hand Reel”. The pair have previously been considered for the event, but were busy last year being featured in the Opening Ceremony of the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver. Tucker and Anderson danced many times throughout the evening dancing to songs such as “St. Patrick’s Day”, “Light Jig”, “Acapella Hornpipe” and the lovely tunes of Shillelagh. Local talents Frances Riley and Sarah Burgess took the stage twice during the evening performing a number of pieces including some of their own originals. The duo is known for their lovely harmonizing voices, and they made a prime example of why that is so on Saturday. Carolyn Phillips, Elizabeth Basset, Theresa MacKey and Janet Gavinchuk from The Glengarry School of Celtic Dance also impressed the

After intermission, Shillelagh took the stage. Shillelagh consisted of musicians from Prince Rupert and Terrace. The six-piece band was made up of Ray Leonard, Cynthia Pyde, James Powell, Brinn Powell, John Krisinger, and Rachel Webb. The group performed a number of songs that had the audience greatly enjoying themselves. The song “Mermaid”, an apparently traditional Newfoundland song, had the crowd cracking up with laughter because of its hilarious lyrics. To wrap up the evening, the Glengarry School dancers, and O’Brien-O’Connor dancers came back on stage to dance to the sounds of Shillelagh. The audiences contributed to the finale as well with claps. Celtic Night organizer and North Coast Performers Society’s Ken Shaw also showed off his moves. Celtic Night would not have been possible this year if it weren’t for the generosity of local businesses such as Hawkair, Eagle Bluff Bed and Breakfast, Traditional Indian Yoga, and groups like the Prince Rupert Community Arts Council.

◆ CRIME REPORT

RCMP seeking public’s assistance By Cst. Laura Lechky The Northern View Below is the Crimebeat for February 14 to 27th. Prince Rupert RCMP had 335 calls for service during this time. Thank you for getting this out in the paper for this week. On February 17, some members we were sitting in Tim Horton’s having a coffee. I know, I know, but it’s a great story so keep reading. The members were approached by an elderly lady. The lady turned over a blue wallet containing a significant amount of cash (almost $2000) to the members. She indicated she had found the wallet in the Prince Rupert Mall in November 2010. The following day, she took the wallet home to Masset and now returned it to police nearly four months later. The lady had conducted some enquiries with the bank and locally here in Prince Rupert trying to locate the owner herself, but was unsuccessful. After a short investigation, Prince Rupert RCMP located the rightful owner and reunited her with her wallet containing the nearly $2000 cash inside. The Prince Rupert RCMP would like to recognize Winnifed (Winnie) Josephine Smith of Masset, BC, for her honesty and compassion for others by returning the wallet and cash. We definitely need people like this in our communities and you do not hear of great stories like this one very often. Ahh a feel good story, now who says we aren’t working when we are having a quick warm-up in Tim Horton’s? On February 14, Prince Rupert RCMP was dispatched to the 200 block of 5th Ave. East where a tall, slim, Caucasian male wearing a bright blue hoody was seen lurking around the neighbourhood looking into garages and vehicles in broad day light. Members attended and did not locate the male, and no items were reported missing. Similar reports were made in the 500 block of 9th Ave. West on February 27. The top three items stolen from vehicles are Ipods, cash including wallets, and cell phones. This does not mean other items such as, CDs, satellite radios, GPS units, bags and clothing are safe to leave in your vehicle. Please remember to lock your doors and do not leave ANY valuables in your vehicle. Unfortunately there are people in our community who will steal anything. Of recent there have been several complaints of logging truck drivers and semi-truck drivers running the stop sign at Legaic Road and Highway 16. For those of you who drive by landmarks, I am speaking of the stop sign at the industrial park coming onto Highway 16. It is for everyone’s safety that a stop sign is at this intersection to prevent accidents from occurring. It only takes a few more seconds to come to a complete stop instead of driving right through. You can guarantee extra enforcement will be done in the area. If saving a few seconds of your time by running the stop sign is worth the $167 fine, then you are making too much money. On February 19, a gas powered Harley Sportster black motorized mens mountain bike with a 49 CC Engine and 1200 watt champion generator was stolen from the 1400 block of 6th Avenue East. It appears spring has sprung and bicycle thefts are back. This is a reminder to lock up your sheds, homes and cars to keep thieves out. If anyone has seen or knows anything about this stolen property you are asked to call the Prince Rupert RCMP or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS. Through the month of October 2010, Prince Rupert was hit by a rash of break and enters to cars and homes throughout the Gull Crescent area and the Westside of town. Investigators have recovered various items from those crimes and would like to turn them over to the rightful owners. If you were one of the unfortunate persons to

be a victim of one of these crimes and have the serial number to any of your missing property or can describe any identifying marks on the property we would like you to please attend the Prince Rupert RCMP Detachment to claim your belongings. The Prince Rupert RCMP needs your help in identifying each of these individuals. Each male is wanted for questioning in two separate investigations. If you recognize either of these individuals, you are asked to contact the Prince Rupert RCMP or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222- TIPS. RCMP photo

RCMP are seeking the public’s assistance in identifying these two individuals for questioning.

On February 16 and 18 my Crime beat was published in the View. Within that write up I told you that James Robert Lucky Bourgeois was arrested and held in custody for Possession for the Purpose of Trafficking a controlled substance. What I failed to mention was that this individual is 31 years old, and is named James Robert Bourgeois Junior, also known to the police as James Robert Lucky Bourgeois. HOWEVER Junior is not to be confused with his father James Robert Bourgeois Senior. Mr. BourgeoisSenior, I extend my apologizes for the troubles this small but significant error has caused you. And one other clarification I would like to make is that James Robert Bourgeois Junior had his name released with this story because an Information for the charges against him had been sworn. Once an Information is sworn the name of the person being charged can be made public. For now on, I will try and update you with names of persons charged from previous stories highlighted in the Crime beat, after all it is public information.

WIN!

◆ ON THE COURT

Rainmakers win zones, off to provincials By Martina Perry The Northern View Over the weekend the Rainmakers’ senior boys’ basketball team took part in the Zone Championships against Smithers and celebrated their final victory in the PRSS gymnasium, the team’s home for over 70 years. Now the boys are preparing to take on the best in British Columbia in the Provincials. The Zone Championship games started on Friday with an intense game against Smithers. The Rainmakers’ were playing fiercely, while Smithers was playing catch-up all evening. Tyler Verde from the Rainmakers’ showed a prime example of how much the team really wanted it, as he dove for the ball in the last half of the game and ended up landing face-first on the bleachers. This didn’t stop Verde because after only a few minutes of rest, he threw himself back on the court. By the end of the evening the Rainmakers’ had gotten themselves the win with a final score of Rainmakers 71 and Smithers 58. After losing the previous game, Smithers came back with a vengeance on Saturday afternoon’s game, but still could not beat the Rainmakers. In the end, the

Rainmakers came out on top with an 81-67 victory. Coach Mel Bishop said all positions played superiorly against Smithers considering the size difference between the two teams. “I was really impressed with the defensive pressure we can put on, especially with the back court. We’re small but we’re very quick. Our back court played tremendous defense and put a lot of pressure on the ball, which we need to because we’re smaller. Also, I thought the forwards rebounded well, especially in Saturday’s game,” commented Bishop. Although the Rainmakers’ senior boys will no longer reside in what is currently PRSS, the team’s coach will remain as Mel Bishop. Bishop has been the team’s coach for 31 consecutive years and will follow the Martina Perry photo team on its move to Charles The Rainmakers found success this weekend. Hays Secondary School in September. Thompson River University in Kamloops In the mean time, the Rainmakers’ starting March 9 and running until March will begin preparing for Provincials at the 12.

At the first bonspiel there Prince Rupert Minor Basketball were around 30 teams and only a few of those participants had ever curled before - many of Tuesday, March 8th, 2011 - 7:00pm them never even seeing Civic Center Judo Room a game played before.

◆ ON THE ICE

Big turnout expected for 60th Marine Bonspiel Continued from page 20 Rudderham is 89-years old, going on 90, has curled in nearly every bonspiel over the past 60 years and will be participating again this year. “That’s one of the great thing about curling, and my dad is a testament to that is, curling is a game you can play your whole life. My dad’s 89 going on 90 this year and he’s still curling. It’s a wonderful sport,” explained Bob’s son Mark Rudderham, who is also a curler and part of the Bonspiel Organizing Committee. At the first advertised Marine Bonspiel in 1957, 76 men’s teams took part in games that took around a week to play out. That was the largest event the club has ever seen. “The banquet had seafood that year, which got us a lot of entries from up country because they don’t get fresh seafood. That was a big drawing card,” explained Bob. Since then, the banquet has always included fresh seafood, something that the bonspiel is well known for

around the region. “It was one of the premier nights in Prince Rupert during that time. The Marine Bonspiel was one of the Gala events of the year,” said Mark. For the 60th, Corey Kitchen and the rest of the Bonspiel Committee have organized another entertaining weekend for curlers. On Friday, after the games, there will be a shrimp and crab feed for participants. Saturday will be the renowned seafood banquet catered by Number One Fast Food at the curling rink, with a live band performing. Members of the community are welcome to come to the rink to watch games. There is a viewing area at the curling rink, so noncurlers can take in games or enjoy a drink or food from the concession stand. People coming down for viewing purposes will not have to pay to get into the facility. “We encourage the public to come down. Being our 60th, we’re hoping to have a really good turn out,” explained Mark.
