X ANIMAL CRUELTY

Group hopes for animals shelter in Port Ed By Shaun Thomas The Northern View

www.citywest.ca

A group of concerned animal lovers appeared before the District of Port Edward council on February 8 to ask the municipality’s help in getting a new animal shelter up and running to address concerns about feral cats in the community. “Right now Port Edward faces a common problem in other communities with the overpopulation of feral and abandoned cats, and they are multiplying. Their offspring are often skittish which makes them hard to catch and treat and they then reproduce and multiply as well,” said Alice Kruta, noting that the overpopulation creates health concerns for the animals. The group, known as the Cannery Row Animal Shelter board, asked council to gift land in the community for the construction of a shelter that would include a small building

and a large, covered outdoor pen. According to Kruta, the shelter would be designed as a mini-cannery to help attract tourists, would be 100 per cent volunteer run and would operate as a non-profit society that also includes a trap-neuter-release program. One of the catalysts for wanting the shelter is what the group sees as increased abuse of the animals, citing kittens being stoned to death, found with broken necks, given antifreeze, stuffed in bags and, in one instance, nailed to a tree. “We think this is the time for Port Edward to shine in light of the international attention currently being placed on animal cruelty,” said Kruta, referring to the killing of sled dogs in Whistler. “We are going to pursue this with a passion…We know we can do it because we are gung-ho with fundraising, and if it is in a good location and branded as a mini-cannery we could attract a lot of people with the name

recognition who would donate.” Council said they will look at what land is available in a location not too close to residential areas, with the group saying a budget for the project would need to wait until the location was known. And while supportive of the proposal, Mayor Dave MacDonald said he had some concerns about the fundraising and support. “We have two groups in town, the SPCA and the Prince Rupert Wildlife Shelter, that aren’t really getting the support they need to operate as they would like. How are you going to get the money when you are competing with two other similar entities for that same money,” he asked. “In terms of the abuse, I’ve heard of incidents but nothing to the extent of what you are referring to…If you hear anything like this going on, the RCMP are the people to talk to and it is important that anyone hearing of animal cruelty call the RCMP.”

X USAGE-BASED BILLING

MP says that CityWest has some explaining to do By Shaun Thomas The Northern View

Skeena Bulkley Valley MP Nathan Cullen says CityWest is going to have some explaining to do if they choose to proceed with plans for usage based billing as the government pushes the CRTC to reverse a decision allowing it to be implemented. “If Telus, Bell and Rogers aren’t able to do so, I don’t see why CityWest would be able to,” he said during a February 9 media call.

“It looks like a rip-off of public money and I think they are going to make a strong case for why it is being done…On the surface it seems very unfair. I think CityWest would have to make the case to me, the public and the federal government as to why they would like to do that.” That being said, Cullen said he does see why CityWest would want to go this route, to an extent. “I understand part of the argument if people are using a large amount of the bandwidth and clogging up the

despite the city’s hard times this board wants to build a new library. “It’s not like that,” Johnston added. According to Friends of the Library Chair Barb Leonard, the money was raised through its annual Novel Idea Auction, the Christmas Carol reading and used book sales. “It just shows the support in the community for the library,” said Leonard of the group’s fundraising efforts. Johnston described the Friends of the Library as a shelter in the storm during tough economic times. And it’s not the first time the group has been able to give money to library. In the last few years the group’s donations have purchased new furniture and equipment. St. Arnaud said the new fund will be formally announced at the Prince Rupert Regional Community Foundation Dinner on March 12.

X UNANIMOUS LOCAL SUPPORT

Liberals support leadership vote change By Janine Workman Black Press

Northwest provincial Liberal party members joined a province-wide wave of support last weekend to change the way they’re going to vote for their next leader. All 59 of the people who cast their votes at a session in Terrace approved of the change, reports Skeena provincial Liberal constituency association president Donny van Dyk. Province wide, the tally was 1,319 for and just 23 people opposed. “Weighted vote passes,” said van Dyk of the result. The party’s next leader now won’t be chosen by the traditional method of one

member/one vote. Instead, each of the party’s constituency association’s will have 100 points that will then be divided up by how each candidate does in voting within each association. It means one riding with several thousand members can’t overpower ridings, typically in the north and rural areas who have far fewer members. Van Dyk called the result a sign that the provincial Liberals place as much value in the areas outside of the lower mainland as they do in the lower mainland. “This speaks very much for how the party regards

District of Port Edward Public Notice of Alternative Approval Process

Proposed District of Port Edward Bylaw No. 513, cited as the Port Edward Elementary School Loan Authorization Bylaw 513, 2011, is intended to allow the borrowing of funds in order to construct a new Elementary School, to be attached to the existing Municipal building in the District of Port Edward.

where the money you pay for insurance goes? So was I.

Vicki Gabereau

I’ve learned that eighty-two cents of every dollar we pay in premiums is used to get customers (that’s us) with claims back on the road. That includes repairing the vehicle and things like hospital care, chiropractic treatments, physiotherapy and more to help customers recover from injuries. Only four cents goes toward operating costs. That includes salaries (all their employees live and work right here in beautiful BC), and other general expenses to run ICBC. Total compensation for ICBC executives is less than one tenth of a cent. ICBC’s operating costs are among the lowest of any Canadian auto insurance company. What about the rest? Well, fourteen cents goes toward such things as distribution costs, driver’s licence services (at more than 120 locations across BC), and taxes. Two cents goes to reducing auto crime and fraud, and initiatives that keep drivers, roads and vehicles safe. If you’re doing the math, you’ve noticed that they’re paying out more than they’re bringing in. Like all insurance companies, ICBC invests the premium dollars they collect. Income from those investments covers the difference and goes to keeping the cost of our insurance low.

All documents may be viewed during regular business hours at the Municipal OfÀce at 770 PaciÀc Avenue, Port Edward. To Ànance the construction of the Port Edward Elementary School addition, the Council of the District of Port Edward proposes to borrow by the way of debenture a sum not exceeding Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00). Council of the District of Port Edward may proceed to adopt Bylaw No. 513 unless a sufÀcient counter petition against the adoption is submitted to Council no later than March 21, 2011. Approximately Forty-one (41) voters have to submit a counter petition for it to be deemed sufÀcient to prevent adoption of the Bylaw without going to referendum. Only those electors in the District of Port Edward are entitled to sign counter petition forms. Counter petition forms are available at the Municipal OfÀce at 770 PaciÀc Avenue, Port Edward during regular business hours. Counter petition forms must be submitted to the Municipal OfÀce at 770 PaciÀc Avenue no later than 4:30pm on March 21, 2011.

For further information contact the Municipal OfÀce during regular business hours at 250-628-3667.

As you can see most of the money is spent on you and me. I think we’re worth it, don’t you? Learn more about what I’ve learned at icbc.com.

Got a question?

I don’t have all the answers but I know where to go to find them. So if there’s something you’d like to know about ICBC or car insurance submit it on my ICBC blog. At www.vickithedemystifier.com you’ll also find helpful answers to questions others have asked.

Giving the Rampage well deserved kudos On Saturday and Sunday, I was among the hundreds of people who made their way to the Jim Ciccone Civic Centre Arena to take in some CIHL playoff action as the Rampage faced off against the Kitimat Ice Demons. As you can read on page 23 of this week’s issue of the Prince Rupert Northern View, things didn’t quite go as hoped for the local squad as the Demons were able to hammer them 5-2 on Saturday and won a close 4-2 affair that included an empty netter on Sunday. And while the team didn’t find the success they were hoping for on the ice, it’s tough not to give the team a tip of the hat for the progress they’ve made in the CIHL and what they’ve done for the community as well. Consider that the Rampage and the Hazelton Wolverines entered the league at the same time. This year, their third in the league, the Rampage finished first overall in the CIHL western conference and third overall in the league with 22 points based on an 11-5 record (they would have actually placed second overall in the league if it were not for the forfeit against Terrace at the home-opener that cost them two points). In contrast, Hazelton finished tied for last in the league with four points and a 2-14 record. That in itself is impressive when you consider last year the team finished with a record of 7-6-3. But aside from what they do on the ice, the team never misses a chance to give back to the fans and the community.

This year fundraisers have benefitted Civic Pride, the Salvation Army, the SPCA and other groups, while the players have participated in community parades and visited students at schools. The team knows its the fans and the community that give

them license to play in the CIHL, and they show they’re more than happy to support the community that supports them. And with the Coy Cup being played at the arena beginning March 8, there’s still plenty of hockey to be played. Hats off to the Rampage for a great season.

The future of marine search and rescue on the north coast I don’t think that the tourism industry has been vocal enough in speaking out about Canada’s marine lifesaving capabilities. Most of Prince Rupert’s tourism industry relies upon marine operations. Scarcely a whisper was heard when the S-61 Sikorsky was pulled from Prince Rupert in December. It had been here almost 40 years, and no one would argue that it was nearing the end of its lifespan. Never mind that the Coast Guard had been trying to remove it for years – I was personally part of that fight in the 1990s. We fought destaffing the lighthouses at the same time, though bureaucrats will ensure that it’s a fight that will never go away. Also in December a Senate committee recommended against destaffing the last lights. That’s good news, though the committee also delivered a clear message in recommending “a full cost-benefit analysis” on the role played by lighthouse keepers. Simple logic won’t rule in the end – the logic that lightkeepers have eyes when machines don’t, or that lightkeepers keep machines working when they fail. To keep the

It is the MP Cheryl Gallant, who made very clear answer to all of our northern SAR needs. And why can’t we base all search and statements last week that suggested that it was rescue efforts out of Esquimalt? It’s less than the responsibility of communities, provinces a thousand kilometres as the crow flies from and private companies to provide and finance Victoria to Stewart – with today’s technology marine search and rescue. “In Ontario we this should be no impediment.

seems to be long-standing government policy dating back through many administrations. Decisions are made in Ottawa, seemingly with the Ottawa River as the only measuring stick. Coming back to Poruks comments regarding the Point Henry, in addition to the inevitable reference to Esquimalt she pointed out the legal obligation of the Navy, ferries, tugboats, cruise ships, and so on, to respond to distress calls. Otherwise, let them save themselves. Is she really so naïve, so blind to the realities of life on the coast beyond the Strait of Juan de Fuca? Or is she just parroting policy crafted in Ottawa? Has Canada’s search and rescue really come to this? I believe that the answer is clear. Yes, Canada’s search and rescue really has come to this. Like Cheryl Gallant, the politicians and bureaucrats will pretend into nonexistence their 144-year commitment to the duties of the Coast Guard. They will find better ways to spend their money than in saving Canadian lives at sea. And they will continue to see, in the Ottawa River, their imagined perception of life on Canada’s coasts.

Results of counter-petition on Port Edward school delayed By Shaun Thomas The Northern View

The District of Port Edward will have to wait a little while longer to see if they can borrow $2-million to build a new school connected to the community centre and municipal hall. The delay comes as a result of a misunderstanding about the counter petition process, which would see the bylaw defeated and a referendum needed if 10 per cent of

We were notified by ministry staff that this is not the case. We must wait for the inspector to give us the okay before we can advertise and

If we do not get over 40 signatures on the petition, then council could give the bylaw approval and final reading at the regular meeting scheduled for March 22.”

When the Total Allowable Catch (TAC) of Halibut was 11 million lbs there was never a problem for the lodges and charter boats, but now that the TAC has been reduced by 45 per cent and the usual commercial quotas has decreased, eg.. 10,000 lbs – 5,500 lbs, the commercial sport sector feel that they do not need to contribute to the conservation of Halibut.

All Native inducts five into the Hall of Fame By Martina Perry The Northern View

ADVISORY BUDGET CONSULTATION MEETING

Time:

X SPORTS RECOGNITION

Each year the members of the All Native Basketball Society board choose individuals that have stood out in the crowd, helping organize, playing and just simply doing everything they can for the week-long tournament. This year, five more people have been added to the list. The first newly added Hall of Famer was Nelson Leeson who was a Hereditary Chief and long-time President of the Nisga’a Nation before he passed away in 2009. Leeson was a powerhouse during the time he played in the All Native Tournament. “He was a great player, a truly great player in his era. He was well known in the basketball community, both at the All Native Basketball Tournament and in basketball around the province,” said brother Dick Lesson, who joined him on the Hall of Fame this year, as well. Richard Lesson said that he is honoured to be inducted into the Hall of Fame at the same time as his brother Nelson. The two were hard to beat when they came together on a team. Although he won many awards for his playing in the ANBT, he was never actually able to win the championship. “I’m thrilled about the whole thing. I played a lot of basketball and it’s great to be recognized,” said Lesson. Gayle Bedard was the next to be induced into the Hall of Fame and is the second woman ever to join the list. Bedard said that her hope is to one day see more

During her years on the court, she won a number of championships and individual awards, including MVP as a member of the 1996 Eagle Wind championship team. After her lengthy career in the ANBT, Bedard said it’s a honour to be inducted. “I am very humbled by the induction. There are a lot of good ball players out there, so you can’t help but be humbled when you get the news about the Hall of Fame,” she said. The fourth inducted Hall of Famer was Mel Bishop, who has been playing ball since he was a child, and enjoyed it through college and even professionally in the last 70’s. Bishop has been the coach of the Rainmakers for the past 31 years. He said that proud of the number of past and present Rainmakers who have played All Native Basketball over the years, and

joked during his speech at the Hall of Fame ceremony that he must be an old guy with many of the players he once coached now in the Masters and Seniors divisions. The last person to be inducted into the Hall of Fame was Art Sterritt. Sterritt has done it all over the past 45 years in the ANBT. He was on the board, being the chair of the tournament when the women’s and masters division were introduced and also played for many years. Sterritt said that it is humbling to be added to the Hall of Fame. “In the category they are asking me to be in there are some pretty spectacular people - people who started the tournament and made it what is it like Alan Hall, Johnny Clifton and Russell Gamble. To sit amongst that type of company is really humbling,” he said.

X DOWNTOWN BEAUTIFICATION

Banner program for downtown featuring First Nations theme By Martina Perry The Northern View

Over the past few years, people living in Prince Rupert may have noticed a bit more colour around town due to some vibrant banners made by students in School District 52 that have been hanging around town. This year there will be a First Nations theme to the banners, as Prince Rupert Secondary School art teacher Tasha Parker heads the project once again. It all started in 2006 when Charlotte Rowse from Civic Pride approached Parker and asked if she would take on the organization

of the project, which Parker agreed to. At first the banners started out in her regular art classes and had an under the sea theme, with banners containing paintings of underwater life and other aquatic sceneries that were hung around Cow Bay. Slowly the banners popped around in the downtown core and other areas with the following years. “If the banners didn’t look so nice when they were hung up, I wouldn’t agree to keep doing the project because it’s so much work. But the end result is worth it,” said Parker. “This town is so empty, the streets downtown have near to nothing in them, so if there are colourful banners hopefully people

will look at them instead of the emptiness.” This year, there are around 60 banners being made that will be displayed along McBride St. going down Second Avenue, around Waterfront Park and the Cruise Ship dock, as well as along Mariner’s Park. This time around Parker brought the project into her First Nations art classes to produce an Aboriginal theme to the new banners, that will replace the old ones after many were damaged or destroyed in the Thanksgiving weekend wind storm. The school brought in First Nations artist Leanna Spence, who is

Results from the 52nd annual All Native Basketball Tournament

North Pacific Rain fall just short in Women’s division final By Alan S. Hale The Northern View

The Kitamaat Haisla Ladies are the 2011 champions after facing the Prince Rupert Rain in the women’s division finals of the 52nd annual All-Native Tournament on Saturday. In the first quarter, Prince Rupert came out strong, scoring within the first 10 seconds of the game. Prince Rupert players continued to rack up points while Kitamaat remained at zero. The lead wouldn’t last long though, with Kitamaat catching up to Rupert with 4:30 on the clock. Kitamaat then took a lead that would have Rupert struggling to catch up with for the rest of the game. The quarter ended with the score Kitamaat 19 and Prince Rupert 13 In the second quarter Prince Rupert began to close in on Kitamaat, bringing their scores to only one point back. Then two consecutive three-point shots for Kitamaat propelled them back

into the lead, which continued to widen. Referees came down hard on infractions and foul shots were awarded to both teams several times throughout the quarter. The quarter ended with a score of Kitamaat 35 – Prince Rupert 28. In the third quarter Prince Rupert couldn’t seem to close the gap, and spent the entire quarter at least 10 points behind Kitamaat. Kitamaat players display some excellent passing skills and continued to rack up the points. Many more foul shots are awarded to both teams and the quarter ended with a score Kitamaat 53 – Prince Rupert 40. In the forth quarter, Prince Rupert continued to trail well behind Kitamaat for the first five minutes. In the last five minutes, Prince Rupert began to close in on Kitamaat and the crowds for both sides began to go wild. With 1:30 on the clock Rupert was only four points behind, but Kitamaat managed to hold on to their lead and win the championship with a score of 63 to 59.

“It’s kind of like, ‘finally!’ We were here last year and had a lot of young players who were kind of starry-eyed and got caught up in the atmosphere. They just couldn’t get it done. But we came back this year and our goal right from first practice was to win this game and we got it done today,” said Kitamaat’s coach, Keith Nyce.

For most of the third quarter the teams remained tied, with 4:15 left on the clock the score was tied at 41 points each. Rupert player Bruce Hill Jr. broke away from the rest of the players for an undefended twopoint shot and Kitamaat players Darren and Daniel Metz showed some impressive passing skills that kept the defense off balance. In the later part of the quarter, Kitamaat began to take the lead and ended with an 11 point lead with a score of 58 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 47. In the fourth quarter Kitamaat kept with the momentum they had built up in the previous one and kept widening their lead over Rupert.

The Kitamaat Haisla Pride won their final game on Saturday against the Friendship House Tribesmen from Prince Rupert, and are now the 2011 champions in the intermediate division of the 52nd Annual All-Native Basketball Tournament. The victory brought a kind of ecstasy to the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s large and impassioned cheering section. In the first quarter the scores between the two teams kept in pace with one another. There were some foul shots awarded to both sides but near the end Prince Rupert managed to pull ahead of Kitamaat to end the quarter with a score of 16 -12. In the second quarter Rupert managed to widen their lead up to nine points. The game started to get rough and Kitamaat player Darren Metz was sent flying backwards when he was hit by a Rupert player as he charged towards the

Results from the 52nd annual All Native Basketball Tournament

Hydaburg keeps new dynasty alive with comeback win By Alan S. Hale The Northern View

The Hydaburg Haida basketball team emerged as the 2011 senior division champions of the 52nd Annual All-Native Basketball Tournament after playing against the Maaqtusiis Suns from Ahousaht on Saturday. In the first quarter after a few minutes Hydaburg managed to take an eight-point lead over Ahousaht, a lead which they held until the end of the quarter. In the second quarter, Hydaburg’s lead began to diminish as Ahousaht’s players went on the offensive. By the time there was 1:30 left on the clock, their lead over Ahousaht had gone from 11 points to just four. In the third quarter Ahousaht managed to tie the game within the first three minutes and then took the lead themselves. Their lead peaked at about eight points before Hydaburg began to catch up and ended the quarter with a close score

of Ahousaht 79 – Hydaburg 76. With the game so close at the end of the game the players appeared to become a bit frantic. The game got rougher and when one player fumbled the ball most of the players on the court ended up falling over one another trying to get possession of it. With only 1:45 left on the clock the teams were tied at 92 points each. The cheering sections were going wild and screamed cheers and sang songs to encourage their players. The mood was so tense that the fans of the opposite team booed as players tried to take foul shots. Hydaburg took the lead in the last few seconds and won the game 96 – 92. “It was just the heart that they have, it really is. It’s just that competitiveness they all have. And each one of them takes it to the next level every time we play. When we commit to the tournament we commit as one towards that purpose; the purpose to win,” said Hydaburg coach Christopher

X CRIME REPORT

A variety of crimes keep the Prince Rupert RCMP busy By Laura Lechky Prince Rupert RCMP

On February 4, 2011, the Highliner Inn staff called the Prince Rupert RCMP to investigate a skunk like odor, possibly that of marijuana coming from a specific room from within. Members arrived and arrested one male for possession of a controlled substance and later detained a female attempting to enter the residence who stated

she lived at the residence. Members obtained a search warrant and recovered a cooler containing multiple bags of marijuana in plastic bags along with a large amount of drug paraphernalia. Approximately three and half pounds of marijuana was seized and $1,778.00 cash. Even though it is the highest building in town, it’s no longer the place to purchase marijuana. The production and trafficking of marijuana continues to be a large problem in Prince Rupert, if you know of anyone involved in this criminal activity please call the Prince Rupert RCMP or Crime Stoppers at 1-800222-TIPS. On February 06, 2011, a Prince Rupert member was on patrol and

The driver was arrested for impaired driving and failed a Drug Recognition Exam. The driver was released on a promise to appear in court. The Prince Rupert RCMP has three members trained in performing Drug Recognition Exams, on impaired motorists. Be aware, you can be charged with impaired driving while under the influence of more then just alcohol. Plan a safe ride home before you go out for the evening. On February 7, 2011, police responded to a call from a female stating her father’s credit card had been stolen in mid January and was reported to the financial institution but not the police. The female stated the financial institution’s fraud unit is working on the case and was requesting assistance from the police as the credit card has been used several times at local ATM’s. Possible suspects are the family’s house cleaners. Footage from the ATM’s may assist in locating the two female suspects or maybe they will come clean themselves.

Surveillance on the shrubs was set up for an ambush on the male for when he returned. The male, James Robert Lucky BOURGEOIS, was arrested at the scene and held in custody to appear in court on February 10. This arrest alone resulted in the recovery of $545 and 7.8 grams of prepackaged cocaine. This is the third charge of Possession for the Purpose of Trafficking since March 30, 2010 for BOURGEOIS. Three times lucky maybe he will learn to obey the law. This past week of the All Native Basketball Tournament had the Prince Rupert RCMP call volume up slightly to 217 files for the week but down considerably from past years during the tournament. There were no unusual calls for service and it was expected to be busier then normal with an influx of people in the city. A total of six RCMP members from Queen Charlotte City, Massett, Bella Bella, Terrace and Kitimat were in town assisting the Prince Rupert RCMP for the week. Please contact Prince Rupert RCMP at 250-624-2136 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800222-TIPS if you have any information on any crime. You can now also send an anonymous tip online at www.bccrimestoppers.com.

Rampage fall to Demons in western finals By Shaun Thomas The Northern View

The Prince Rupert Rampage took to the friendly confines of the Jim Ciccone Civic Centre Arena with a one game lead in the CIHL western conference finals, but it would be the Kitimat Ice Demons that walked out on Sunday with a ticket to the league championship against the Williams Lake Stampeders. The Rampage got off to a rough start on Saturday night, as Kitimat’s offense clicked for two goals in the first 47 seconds of play - with Ian Coleman sweeping across the front of the net and going low past netminder Keith Movold just 27 seconds in and Blaine Markwart making it a 2-0 game just 20 seconds later to effectively silence the home crowd. That silence was shattered though, when Kendall Stace-Smith picked up the loose puck in front after it took a weird bounce off the backboards and put it by Demons goalie Jamie Moran with 15:46 to play. The Rampage would get the equalizer with 7:58 to go and on the powerplay as Derek Baker’s blast from just inside the blue line got by a screened Moran. With 1:03 to go it looked like Kitimat regained the lead with a wrister that went top shelf, but the goal was called off due to a Rupert playing touching the puck on the delayed penalty not being picked up by the ref but being seen by the linesmen. Kitimat would regain the

lead though, with Craig Hewitson putting home a cross ice pass in a two-onone situation with 12:20 to play in the second. Kitimat ended up getting 1:20 of 5-on-3 and capitalized when Jeff Mildenberger went high at the side of the net with just 2:07 left in the frame to give Kitimat a 4-2 lead heading into the third. In the third Kitimat dominated play early as Rupert struggled to get anything in the Demons zone, and with 13:13 to play Mildenberger dangled the puck past the defense and fed Derek Wakita to put flickr.com/zpaperboyz photo the Demons up 5-2. Rupert Kendall Stace-Smith scores on Jamie Moran on Saturday. would have chances to close the gap, including a goal that was waved off because it the second short-handed, and gone either way and we had was deflected in with a high the result was a powerplay chances...You have to give the stick, but it would be for not as goal for the Demons by Derek Ice Demons credit, they’re a the Demons took game two by Wakita, who jammed the puck great team.
