On June 1 the Prince Rupert Port Authority released its draft 2020 Land Use Management Plan, and it is a document that outlines some significant opportunities for growth in the waters around Prince Rupert. One of the ideas discussed in the 43-page draft document, which is available at www. rupertport.com, is the expansion of the Ridley Industrial Site and the possibility of expanding beyond the current Ridley Island area. “The longer term possibility of bridging Lelu Island with Ridley or the mainland would allow the development of Lelu

Island...For the medium term the PRPA does not envisage any development for Lelu Island, but long term opportunities suggest use of this island for bulk commodity terminals and general industrial uses. More detailed site analysis, planning and infrastructure analysis will occur prior to any development considerations,” reads the draft, which also looks at potential usage of the south end of Ridley Island and islands just off the Ridley coast. “The PRPA will retain the option to consider long term development of the outer islands, but will not advance any development without additional planning consideration that reflects navigation, construction of an approach trestle or causeway, environmental characteristics

and the impact on operations of other uses already established on Ridley Island...With the relative distance of the outer islands to developed areas in Prince Rupert and Port Edward, the use of the outer Ridley Islands for potential liquid bulk products is deemed to offer the best value for the Port.” Other plans for Ridley Island include “large bulk commodity terminals to the central and wester area” and “more intensive and smaller industrial enterprises” at the eastern edge. Among the considerations, in addition to a rail loop and storage line around the island, are marinas, a logistic park on the edge of Kaien Island, automobile transfer and storage, additional bulk terminals, pipe yards and short sea shipping.

Clockwise: The ATCO trailer serving as a morgue, the shed where cancer fighting chemotherapy is done; hallways in the hospital have been doubling as storage.

By Alan S. Hale The Northern View

chemotherapy are being mixed in a retrofitted smokehouse because the hospital’s pharmacy doesn’t have proper ventilation. The morgue had to be condemned because of its floor, and now families have to view their dead in make-shift morgue inside an Atco trailer. The mental health and addiction facility is located five blocks away, which Kulesha says poses a security and safety risk. The only wheelchair-accessible bathroom in the hospital is the one used by visitors, and the list goes on. “We are past the ‘make-do’ phase,” reads the letter. Northern Health says that the hospital certainly needs to be replaced and they point to the work that has already been done to make that happen. But Northern Health suggests that the immediate concerns about the hospital’s condition are overstated, and that the building is not negatively affecting services being provided for patients. Representatives say that it may sound bad that chemotherapy drugs are being mixed in a shed, but the shed was built by Northern Health for that exact purpose. Kulesha disagrees, saying that the staff at the hospital work hard to provide proper service there in spite of the condition of the facility, and that the hospital district will not be satisfied to be quiet and wait for provincial funding. During question period, health minister De Jong pointed out that the Liberal government had spent $7-billion to improve health care infrastructure across the province. When Coons countered that he was not talking about “the rest of the province” but getting funding for a specific hospital, De Jong would only say that “progress is being made” on the issue. Health minister Mike de Jong was unavailable for comment.

“ I got letters saying ‘Yeah, we know you’re a priority but we can’t tell you when there will be any funding available.’ I think that’s when the hospital district board hit the panic button.”

The dilapidated condition of the hospital in the Village of Queen Charlotte became the subject of debate in the provincial Legislature after local MLA Gary Coons and NDP health critic Mike Farnsworth brought up facility’s problems during question period last week. Coons and Farnsworth wanted to get Health Minister Mike de Jong to commit to fund a project to replace the hospital, something that de Jong avoided doing during Question Period. The Northwest Regional Hospital District that oversees the facility in Queen Charlotte has been trying to replace it for about 20 years and has spent $2.74-million of its own money on developing blueprints and a business case for a replacement hospital, which will be ready by the end of August. To move ahead on the project, the hospital district will need funding from the province, but according to the vice-chair of the district’s board and mayor of Queen Charlotte, Carol Kulesha, letters from the health ministry have been suggesting that there may be no funding for the new hospital. “We said, ‘okay, we’re finishing the blueprints. Now what happens? Are you going to give us permission to move the clinic, tear down the building and start the roadwork?’ And I got letters saying…‘Yeah, we know you’re a priority but we can’t tell you when there will be any funding available’. I think that’s when the hospital district board hit the panic button,” says Kulesha. The hospital district then wrote a letter to Coons asking for his assistance. In the letter, the district describes the hospital’s condition as are negatively impact families and human dignity. At the hospital cancer-fighting drugs used in

◆ LABOUR CONCERNS

Postal workers in legal strike position, no local date known By Alan S. Hale The Northern View The national strike by the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) is now under way and the union is using rolling work stoppages in major cities instead of a nation wide strike that would cause Canada Post to grind to a halt. According to the CUPW’s representative in Prince Rupert, Paula Picard, there is no immediate plans that she’s aware of to have a work stoppage in Prince Rupert, but the call could come at any time. “They’re still at the table, still negotiating. In my opinion, as long as they are at the table I think they will continue with only rotating strikes. But I don’t know, any direction I get comes from national,” says Picard. Since Prince Rupert has a number of people who depend

Regional District are among the organizations who still do most of their official correspondence by sending letters instead of e-mail. The regional district, for instance, sends and receives over a dozen official letters to and from other governments and organizations. The Prince Northern View asked staff at their offices if they had a backup plan that would allow government offices to keep working if the postal service stops. Both levels of government officially declined to comment but the office workers we did talk to said they were not aware of Week of June 8 any contingency plan. The only Not for Navigational Purposes place that appeared to have a Wed., June 8 plan already worked out was the Low: 12:48 AM / 2.32 m Prince Rupert Port Authority.

on income assistance or their pension for their income, it’s important for people to understand that despite the strike the postal workers have volunteered to deliver one day out of the month in order to make sure that people will get their cheques. This doesn’t apply to other cheques however, so people who are still waiting for their income tax return are out of luck if the union calls for a full on work stoppage. If the 30 or so unionized postal workers in Prince Rupert do go on strike, picketing will be limited mostly to the main Canada Post headquarters downtown, where residents can expect all the entrances to be blocked by picket lines. They’ve also been given support by the local the fishermen’s union and teacher’s union. The fact that there are no immediate plans for postal service in the area to stop is good news for local government and business operations in the area. Local government such as the City of Prince Rupert or the Skeena Queen Charlotte

Port looking at re-developing existing terminals Continued from page 1 Closer to Prince Rupert, the Port Authority is looking at options to redevelop old facilities, like a bulk facility at the old Westview dock, increasing the number of anchorages for waiting freighters to eight, and long term potential for marina and ship facilities at the Lightering Dock. “With limited upland land areas for future development, the Inner Harbour will be considered primarily for commodity shipments and ancillary uses that do not dependent on large backup areas,” reads the report, noting that development will

also be contingent upon “the long term extent of rail trackage within the inner harbour upland area”. The report also says the Port Authority will be keeping a keen eye on possible access to Digby Island and the Tsimshian Peninsula. “The PRPA is to remain vigilant with respect to any long term road access to Digby Island and the north shore of the harbour. This has implications for existing and future Fairview Terminal operations (given the proximity of the terminal area to a potential bridge crossing) but any such crossing may offer substantial benefits for long term industrial use

(e.g oil and gas exploration activity),” it reads. “Similarly, the creation of an access route could create potential for the long term port related industrial development on the north shore of the harbour, which currently does not

Prince Rupertâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s delegation to China now totals eight people By Monica Lamb-Yorski The Northern View By this time next week, eight people will arrive in Beijing from the north coast of B.C. as part of a delegation representing Prince Rupert and Port Edward.

◆ CRIME REPORT

Four youths arrested after break and enter downtown RCMP photo

Contributed

This photo shows the damage done to the Hollywood Video store at the corner of McBride and First Avenue West after four youth entered a construction area on the other side of the building and smashed a hole in the wall with a sledgehammer. The youth were later arrested on Hays Cove Avenue.

The Northern View In the early morning hours of June 1, 2011 four youths, two females aged 14 and two males aged 16 were arrested for Break and Enter and Mischief Under $5000 to a vacant office space and construction area connected to a business in the 100 block of 1st Avenue East in Prince Rupert’s downtown core. At 3:41 a.m. the alarm to the business was triggered and police were dispatched to the area. The suspects gained entry through the construction area and smashed a hole in the wall with a sledge hammer between the vacant office space and the business. Information was received from taxi drivers that four youths were observed running with a bag near PJ’s Market. Taxi drivers kept the police informed on the youth’s location until they were located and arrested on Hays Cove Avenue. “The RCMP would like to thank the taxi drivers for their assistance, the information provided us with the opportunity to quickly locate and arrest the suspects” states Cst. Laura Lechky of the Prince Rupert RCMP. “This is the perfect example of how citizens can help solve crime in their community.” Police Dog Services were called to the scene and stolen items were recovered. Forensic Identification Section has analyzed the scene and is also analyzing the stolen items for further evidence. At this time the cost of the damages to the business and construction area are unknown. Police officers are attempting to locate the owner of a work bag that was recovered only feet away from the youths at the time of apprehension. The bag contained spray paint, a small blow torch and other miscellaneous items. The

bag may have been stolen from a vehicle. One of the two males is being additionally charged with Possession of a Prohibited Weapon and the other is being additionally charged with Possession of breakin Instrument and Possession of Property Obtained by Crime. The Prince Rupert RCMP is also investigating mischief to five vehicles in the 200 block of Crestview Drive. A can of spray paint as well as a fire extinguisher was left at the scene. “Five cars were spray painted while parked on the street outside their homes in the Crestview area, causing approximately $2000 damage” states Cst. Laura Lechky. “It is unknown at this time if the two incidents are connected to the youths and the investigation is ongoing.” The RCMP is looking for the public’s assistance with tips or information related to either of these incidents. If you saw anything or have any knowledge of these crimes or have been a victim and have not yet reported it, you are asked to call the Prince Rupert RCMP at 250627-0700 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS. Crime Stoppers pays cash for information leading to an arrest.

When did health care take a back seat... This week I was all set to write about Seafest - what an awesome experience it is and how amazing it is that the whole thing is done by hardworking volunteers in our community. The awesomeness that is Seafest and the phenomenal work of the volunteers of the Prince Rupert Special Events Society hasn’t changed, and I encourage everyone to check out this weekend’s activities and thank those who host it. But sometimes people in power do something so blatantly ridiculous that my urge to give them a written tongue-lashing is too powerful to simply push aside. This week’s target: The BC Government as a whole. Picture, if you will, the uproar and consequences that would come if people anywhere in the Lower Mainland or the Okanagan walked into a hospital and found boxes lining the hallway, were led out back to a portable trailer to view their deceased loved ones in the morgue, were directed to a small shed where their cancer-treating medication was being mixed and physiotherapy patients were directed to an old, rundown house on wooden supports for physio. You can bet the government would stop at nothing to make things right for those people down south, should they face such a travesty of health care. And yet, since it is actually happening here in the north in Haida Gwaii, the general response from the minister is “we’ll get around to it.” That response at a time when the government just spent over $500 million to keep soccer and football fans dry with a new roof on BC Place and has committed $410 million to the

Evergreen Line to make transportation a bit more convenient for Vancouverites is a slap in the face to the people of Haida Gwaii and doesn’t paint the picture that government cares too much about the region. Even two per cent of that committed funding would be enough to put an adequate state of the art facility that would

meet the needs of a community and area the size of that served by Queen Charlotte. But since there’s not the population there is in Vancouver, the sense of priority seems sorely lacking. It’s sad when the dryness of sporting fans and the convenience of travel seems to take precedence over adequate care for residents of the province.

Conferences can offer a major boost to local tourism It’s been a great year for tourism so far. The first quarter numbers for hotel revenue show it as the best first quarter in over a decade. Sure, there is a general recovery in the international tour market, and people are certainly traveling more, but the real reason for our early success this year has been conferences. The NCLGA and Gathering Our Voices conferences, added to events such as the BC Annual Dance Competition, make a huge difference. We’ve talked about this since before Tourism Prince Rupert was created from the old Visitors’ Bureau 12 years ago. There is somewhat of a “glass ceiling” on summer tourism in Prince Rupert. Particularly with BC Ferries sailings only every second day, our rooms fill to capacity and then empty like the ebb and flow of the tide. Of course we struggle against this, and work to achieve multi-night stays to mitigate this effect, but without daily service we won’t reach the next plateau. Our best chance for growth lies in the shoulder seasons. We have hotel capacity, and

for a conference. Don’t underestimate the appeal of Prince Rupert. Yes, there are challenges. Transporting delegates in and out of Prince Rupert can be challenging, but it is not an insurmountable challenge. This is especially true when weighed against what we have to offer. Even to those from other parts of the province our coastal lifestyle can seem exotic. We have unique venues for evening receptions, such as the Museum of Northern BC and North Pacific Cannery, and we have the capacity to offer spectacular pre- and post-conference marine tours. We are very well set up for this business. Conferences provide a huge boost to all aspects of the local economy. Because conference attendees tend to spend higher than people on longer trips, even a small conference can be very beneficial to the community. If your group is interested in putting in a bid for a conference please let us know. We’ll put you in touch with the local professionals who can help make that conference a reality.

Smelter rebuild project goes underground as another major contract is approved

21 Sparks Street

SOLD

KITIMAT - It was contract signing day again at Rio Tinto Alcan last Tuesday as the company announced who had secured the job of putting in the underground utility corridor. Richard Blais, RTAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s director of construction and engineering, explained the corridor is a three kilometre long loop that will encircle the new smelter. It will carry natural gas, industrial water and potable water pipes as well as high voltage and fibre-optic cables. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It will be massive,â&#x20AC;? he add-

ed. Noting the modernisation project (KMP) had committed to using as many local and regional contractors as possible, Blais said he was therefore pleased to announce this contract had gone to a northern BC company, IDL Projects of Prince George. In response, IDL chief financial officer Todd Patterson said Alcan had been an â&#x20AC;&#x153;industrial iconâ&#x20AC;? in BC and the North since the 1950s and therefore he and his partners were pleased to be a part of KMP. While the corridor would be a challenging project, Patterson said they had assembled â&#x20AC;&#x153;a great

teamâ&#x20AC;? to meet those challenges. He said IDL was currently working with the building trades to maximize the number of Northern and local workers, including Haisla, working on the contract. And they would be working with several local contractors including 101 Industries, Kentron, Ladner and RSK. Given RTAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s emphasis on safety, Patterson pointed out that his companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rolling 12 month incident rate for total reportable incidents was 0.63 and that it had a program which saw new and young workers mentored by experienced employees.

IDL also encouraged and rewarded reporting of near-miss incidents or unsafe acts and intervening when unsafe conditions were spotted. And he closed with, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We look forward to starting digging by the end of the month.â&#x20AC;? Although RTA stuck to its policy of not revealing the value of individual contracts, project director Michel Lamarre offered assurances this one was â&#x20AC;&#x153;substantialâ&#x20AC;?. Just recently another major contract was signed to provide accommodation for those who will be living in the projectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s construction camp.

◆ A SHOW OF GENEROSITY

Overwaitea tops in the province with “Round Up for Kids” By Monica Lamb-Yorski The Northern View It was a case of every penny counting when Overwaitea Foods in Prince Rupert held its Round Up For Kids to the nearest dollar program during the month of May, raising over $7,200 for BC Children’s Hospital Foundation and exceeding the efforts of all other stores in the province. “It was a real community effort,” said store manager Dan Hansen Thursday. “The customers were really generous.” Hansen, who relocated from Burns Lake in February to become the store’s manager in Prince Rupert, is impressed with the community’s generosity so far. The win was by a narrow margin, he admitted, but he felt there were an “alarming” number of people that said yes to the campaign. Opening up a chart on his office computer, he pointed to the screen where it showed that people said “yes” 13,892 times. “It’s unreal to me,” Hansen added. Quick to credit the community for its support, cashiers Maddy Vendettelli and Katie Sklapsky said they also wanted to thank the community. “People were asking us to round up part way through the program,” said Sklapsky. Twice a year, Overwaitea Foods holds a

campaign to raise funds for BC Children’s Hospital. Often it’s through a campaign where customers are asked to donate their points. “This time around they thought we’d give customers a break from asking them for their points and try something different,” said Hansen. The monies raised at each store will be matched by the company and its large suppliers and go toward the efforts of BC Children’s Hospital Foundation. Overwaitea normally puts up a grand prize, and this time one person in the province will win 25 years of $5,200 gift cards for the store. Every time people rounded up, their names were automatically entered to win. They haven’t announced the winner yet, but Hansen is crossing his fingers it’s someone from Prince Rupert. While the prize was an added incentive, many customers weren’t even aware of it. “We didn’t push the prize at all. We just pushed helping the Children’s Hospital and that’s what made it so amazing,” Hansen said. “There were a few banners up advertising the prize, but you would have to stop and read them and most people don’t.” Beyond donating pennies, nickels,

Overwaitea Foods in Prince Rupert, with the help of the community, raised over $7,200 for BC Children’s Hospital in May through its Round Up For Kids program, topping the efforts of all the company’s stores in the province. While all the staff was part of the campaign, pictured here are Daljit Sharma, Virginia Azak, Maddy Vendettelli, Cedric Scodane, Katie Sklapksy, Mark Bryant and Store Manager Dan Hansen. dimes and quarters, there were the odd customers that went beyond rounding up to the nearest dollar to donate $25 at a time, and the staff pitched in as well. “All of it helped,” said Hansen.

I believe they are Globe flowers and they are blooming in gardens right now. If you grow globe flowers and are dividing them later in the season we have quite a few members interested in a plant. If you can help us out we’d really appreciate it. Thank you!

◆ WESTVIEW AND PRSS

Schools keeping positive as they prepare for changes By Martina Perry The Northern View French poet, journalist and novelist Anatold France once said, “All changes, even the most longed for, have their melancholy; for what we leave behind us is part of ourselves…” This rings true to any students and teachers that will be affected by the coming changes next September, when Westview Ecole will officially be closed and Prince Rupert Secondary School will be repurposed into a middle school. Last week the Prince Rupert Northern View sat down with Westview principal Andrée Michaud, and PRSS principal Sheila Wells to discuss what both schools are doing to help prepare their students for these changes, as well as how both schools are trying to stay positive about the coming events. “It’s been an interesting year. I’m very proud with everybody’s reaction to the situation. Instead of looking backwards, and thinking ‘poor us’, we’ve all made a very big effort for the kids to say let’s look forward and let’s look at it as an experience and a new journey. That’s what has been keeping our sanity and keeping it positive for the kids,” explained Westview Principal Andrée Michaud, who has been the principal of the school for four years now, but has been employed at the school for 20 years. “This has been my home.” To help prepare younger students, who will be transferred to either Pineridge Elementary or Roosevelt Park Elementary, for the changes they will be seeing next school year, Westview, Pineridge and Roosevelt have been hosting liaison activities since the beginning of the school year to help ensure students are familiar with their new schools and peers. These activities included a number of fun events such as movie nights and craft nights, as well as inviting students from Pineridge and Roosevelt to the school’s annual Carnaval event held in January. Michaud mentioned that most of the events the school held were well attended, depending on what the events were. “No matter how we feel as adults about the school or our second home closing, the kids are first and we need to support them. That’s why we have done so many activities…We are trying to be as prepared as possible,” said

Hopefully we’ll have some better programs and better place for kids overall,” she said. PRSS has been preparing students for the changes by holding joint course selection meetings, having each grade that will be attending CHSS this September go over to the school for grade assemblies,

“I think any time there is change it’s hard on people. I think the kids will adjust the easiest; it will be harder on the adults to make the adjustments. “

◆ FIRST OF THE SEASON

Forest fire starts up north By Shaun Thomas The Northern View The Northwest Fire Centre was kept busy last week with a fire near the Yukon border. As of June 6 the Tisigar Lake wildfire has grown to around 8,400 hectares due to strong winds in the area. The fire resulted in the closure oh Highway 37 North and a restricted area order was put into effect such that all Crown Land between the Yukon border and Beaver Pond rest stop, stretching 25 kilometres on either

side of the Highway 37, was closed to the public. People were only allowed to enter the area only in the course of travelling to and from their residence or when using Highway 37 as defined in the Highway Act. As of Monday there were 24 firefighters and four helicopters fighting the blaze, and another 100 firefighters were to arrive once the firecamp to house and feed the crews was established. Updates on the fire can be found at bcwildfire.ca, while road closures can be found at drivebc.ca

◆ PRACTICUM COMPLETE

Hospital looking ahead to hiring more nurses locally By Alan S. Hale The Northern View Eight second-year registered nursing students from Northwest Community College finished their practicum on the third floor of the hospital last week, where they have been working along side the hospital’s permanent staff for the past month to gain real-world experience. The third floor of the hospital is for acute care and houses patients with a wide variety of conditions, some of them chronic that require long-term care. “We assess patients, make them comfortable and give them medication,” said one of the students, Freda Edgars. “There’s lots of teamwork as well

with the doctors, referrals, managing nutrition and we even spent some time in an operating room,” said another of the students, Katherine Pim. According to Northern Health, the Prince Rupert Regional Hospital employs 66 nurses and only nine are from Prince Rupert. Of eight second year nursing students at NWCC, five are from the City. The Director of Care for Northern Health, Jane Wilde, says that she’s glad to see more potential new employees actually coming from the region instead of candidates that have to be attracted to Rupert from bigger, more urban areas. “They are my recruitment of 2014... That’s the advantage of having nurses that grew up here, they don’t come here and go

‘ugh, it rains a lot here.’ Or say ‘aw, there’s no fancy shopping here’. That culture shock is hard for people who are used to working in big urban areas,” said Wilde. Wilde says that only a few years ago she went around to local schools asking students if they wanted to be nurses, and got almost no interest from local students. She says that appears to be changing.

Brittany Innes is presented with a $500 donation by Joanne Finlay on behalf of the Prince Rupert Aboriginal Community Services Society. Also pictured is Inne’s mother, Marcia Robinson.

By Alan S. Hale The Northern View The Prince Rupert Aboriginal Community Services Society is giving $500 to 16-year-old Brittany Innes to help send her down to the Lower Mainland to participate in the Aboriginal Summer Science Program at UBC. This will be the second year that Innes will be attending the program, which costs about $700 for her to participate. Innes, despite not even graduating from high school yet, has her sights set on going to medical school and the Society decided to give her the money in order to help support her in achieving that goal. According to the society’s chairperson, Joanne Finlay, they want to see more aboriginal youth go into the medical field. “I think it’s a really valuable thing to support,” said Finlay. “[The Society thinks] its very important to encourage young people in reaching their goals, This is important for the development of our community, and serving our community is what we do.”

Naden Band coming for Seafest By Martina Perry The Northern View

Martina Perry photos

From Mario and Luigi battling Koopa to classic ballet, “Born to Entertain” offered up a wide variety of dancing and talents.

◆ ON THE STAGE

“Born to Entertain” By Martina Perry The Northern View There wasn’t a seat left in the Lester Centre of the Arts when the Dance Academy of Prince Rupert presented “Born to Entertain” last week, the dance group’s year end performance that showcased an arrangement of different dance styles including ballet, tap, jazz, hip hop, musical theater, acrobatics, and more. “Dance evolves but still retains the essence of the art expressed so many years before. It is this that I find so appealing that throughout the generations so much has remained from the original. You see the century old basics of ballet, observe the current dance styles, that trigger memories of dances seen before and best of all you see the familiar joy in the children’s faces as they perform. It is always a trip down memory lane and that feeling of continuity is why I love dance,” said Teresa Mackereth, founder of the Prince Rupert Dance Academy. The year-end recital started out with a few music and dance numbers from the popular play “Hairspray”. Over 30 dance students of all ages took the stage, dancing to numbers choreographed by Jennifer Kloopers. Throughout the show, many younger dancers took the stage with adorable dances like “Neverland” and “The Bird Dance” choreographed by Teresa Mackereth, “The Bear Necessities” and “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star” choreographed by Meghan MacRae, and “Super Mario” choreographed for the all boys dance class by Jennifer Kloppers. One of the audience’s favorites consisted of “The War of 1812” choreographed by Shannon Valle, a hilarious group dance where dancers recreated the war against the Americans, a routine that received the top spot in it’s category at this year’s BC Annual Dance Competition in May. Senior dance students Kimberly Truong and Kelsey Basso not only performed in several different style group dances and their own solos during the show, they also took successful stabs at choreographing dance routines, with Truong creating the “Jump Jive ‘N Wail” dance, and Basso making “Wow”, a dance that took the top spot in it’s category at the BC Annual Dance Competition. After the dance routines the awards were handed out. Students Kimberly Truong and Charmaine Gibson received the top awards of the year, the Achievement Awards. Both dancers have done tremendous in festivals and competitions this year, taking home trophies, awards and cash prizes.

Citizens in Prince Rupert will have a number of opportunities to observe the Naden Band of the Maritime Forces Pacific the Naden Winds, this week during Seafest weekend. On June 10, the Naden Winds will be performing at the Prince Rupert First United Church at seven p.m., a show that is sure to draw a crowd from all around the region, as well as astound the entire family. Entry for Friday’s show

will be by donation, with proceeds to the Dpecial Events Society. The full Naden Band of the Maritime Forces Pacific will be performing during the Seafest celebrations, being featured twice on Saturday, the first performance being in the annual parade, as well as in the Bandstand Music Entertainment event in front of City Hall, with the Naden Band taking the stage at four p.m. The band will perform twice on Sunday, the first time at the Kwinitsa Station bandstand at 1:25 p.m., and the second at the Mariner’s Memorial Service at six p.m.

WELSH SOUNDS…

Coons says ferry motions stifled By Alan S. Hale The Northern View The Liberal government thwarted attempts by local MLA Gary Coons, and the rest of the NDP opposition to make changes to legislation introduced last week that would lower the cap on any increase on ferry fares to only 4.15 per cent. Coons and the rest of his party attempted to amend the bill so that it would freeze all fares where they are for the time being. For the past several months, residents in northern BC who depend on the ferry service were facing the possibility of large increases in fares. BC Ferries originally wanted to raise fares along northern routes by over 25 per cent for four years, meaning that a trip from the Haida Gwaii to Prince Rupert could have doubled by 2016. Then in April, the BC ferry commissioner put the fears of a doubling of prices by then deciding that minor routes could only have their fares raised by 8.23 per cent a year. But the routes going Vancouver Island could raise theirs by only 4.15 per cent. The Liberal’s new legislation would get rid of this two-tier system and limit any prince increase in 2012 to just 4.15 per cent no mater what route. In the Legislature Coons, who is also the ferry critic, proposed an amendment

that would not allow any fare increases until the ferry commissioner finishes a review of the relationship between BC Ferries and the government, the legislation that governs Alan S.

â&#x2014;&#x2020; CRIME THIS WEEK

Scams and rescues for RCMP By Cst. Laura Lechky The Northern View

able to call dispatch back again. This tactic worked and the female did call dispatch again stating she could hear the sirens and stated she was near the Highliner Hotel. The female was located in a wooded area behind the hotel. She was very hypothermic and in extreme distress. The female was brought to the hospital where she was treated and later released. On May 31, 2011, the Prince Rupert RCMP seized three identical fishing rods from a residence in Prince Rupert believing them to be stolen. If you have had three identical rods stolen, please contact Cst. Kyle Trask at (250)6270700 to claim them. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll need to know information about the rods and reels before they can be turned over to you. A tripod either a piece of survey equipment or a high camera tripod has also been found in the bush on Ridley Island and turned into the RCMP, again please contact Cst. Kyle Trask and provide a description of the item to claim it. Another scam on the loose in Prince Rupert. A letter is circulating from a Barrister who works for Harcourt LLP in London, United Kingdom. This letter presents the addressee with the opportunity to be the next of kin of a deceased person who amazingly shares the same last name. The SCAM goes like this: you can have a very large sum of money($7,500,000 GBP)

deposited into your bank account if you agree to be the kin and share the profit with the Barrister....sounds too good to be true??? IT IS. Please know this letter can be shredded, recycled or tossed out, just remember to remove your name and address from the paper.

On May 27, 2011, at 9:54 p.m. the police received a call from the Crest Hotel where an occupant saw one person with a blue and green kayak, overboard in the middle of the Harbor. The complainant stated the person had been there for approximately five minutes. The kayaker was rescued by a citizen who had his boat ready to go. The citizen ventured out to tow the kayaker safely to shore. The kayaker was checked by Emergency Medical Services and found to be slightly hypothermic but would fully recover from the incident. On May 28, 2011, at 9:40 a.m. the Prince Rupert RCMP responded to a vague complaint from a female needing help, who was incoherent and provided information that she was in a wooded area near the waterfront. The female was in and out of consciousness and the cell phone connection was lost. Police Dog Services was dispatched to assist in locating the female. Attempts by the officers to locate the female based on the information provided were negative. Police officers obtained the GPS location of the cell phone and were advised that the location had a 200-meter radius. Police searched the 200-meter radius but did not find the female. Officers then resorted to driving in the area with sirensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; on in an 1740 Prince Rupert Blvd, Prince Rupert, BC attempt to arouse the 250 624-2859 unconscious female Dodger is a 2 year old in hopes she would be

Enbridge officials discuss Gateway project and opposition By Rod Link The Terrace Standard Enbridge officials are sharpening their sales pitch for the company’s planned Northern Gateway oil pipeline project, saying it will bring jobs, provide an economic boost and help wean the country from an overdependence on the United States of America. Andrew Popko, one of three Enbridge officials on a tour of the area last week, said Canada deserved to get world prices for its products. “Our most valuable asset is oil from northern Alberta,” he said. Enbridge’s planned $5.5 billion pipeline, which would be the largest private sector project in the province’s history, is to run 1,177 kilometres from Alberta to a marine export terminal at Kitimat. From there, oil would be shipped to Asian countries needing fuel to continue economic growth. The project is actually two pipelines, one to transport oil to Kitimat and the other to import a thinning agent called condensate which, when mixed with oil, will make it flow smoother. “We have the highest environmental standards in the country,” said Popko.

“If anybody is going to do it, it should be us,” he added of pipeline construction. Enbridge engineering manager Ray Doering said the pipeline would be constructed to meticulous standards. Sensors spaced out along the pipeline’s length would warn officials at a central monitoring station of pipeline pressure fluctuations, a sign of a leak or rupture, he said. Pumping would be halted and valves closed to isolate sections of the pipeline should there be trouble, Doering added. He said they’ve already identified the most sensitive environmental areas, like which rivers need more protection. “I think we’re up over 90 valves on each of these pipelines right now, which is more than any system...I’m aware of by far,” he said, saying that that’s an average of one sensor for every 10 kilometres or so. “What will likely be the case though, is that in some cases it will be much closer than that; either side of important rivers, either side of important environmental features,” he continued. “A lot of time goes into...where those valves should be placed to be most effective. In the unlikely event that there’s a leak, and you have to

respond, where do you want those valves - that’s step one.” The second step is a detailed emergency response plan for every water course. “What if there was a leak and oil got into this water course where would we respond, where should the equipment be stored, where will the people be, how long will it take them to get there, where do you put booms...at what point do you determine control points?” he said.

◆ ENJOYING THE OUTDOORS

Tips to be bear smart as the camping season approaches By Rikki Schierer Black Press As the weather warms and the green grass grows, we humans won’t be the only ones out enjoying it, the Ministry of Environment cautions, who placed a “bear aware” alert last week. The bears, newly risen from hibernating, will be looking for the most readily available food source, they say. Last year, Conservation Officers received 23,240 reports

of bear sightings between April 1 and March 31, 2,827 of those were calls of where public safety was a concern. As a result, 120 bears were relocated to other areas and 675 bears were destroyed. That, the government reports, was a higher than average number as food was fairly scarce last year, leaving the bears no other choice than to look for non-natural food sources. The trend, over the past 15

years, of bear and human conflicts has been on the decrease overall, however. To keep the trend on the downward trend, the MOE has issued a couple of suggestions for the residents of B.C., particularly in rural areas known for having bears around. - Keep garbage secured in the house, garage or shed until pick-up day and return the containers to its secure site once emptied. - Pick ripe and fallen fruit daily and remove any unused fruit trees.

- Use bird feeders in winter compost regularly and keep it months only. covered. - Clean the barbecue grill after each use, and store it in a secure area.

◆ ON THE LINKS

Golf season back in full swing as Open month underway It was a late and slow start to the golf season, but we have caught up and everything is in good order. Course Superintendent, Gerry Casavant was able to get a start on some projects over the winter, that golfers will appreciate as the seeded areas begin to fill in. The Golf Club executive, under the direction of President, Maureen Macarenko, is working at ways to allow our course to continue to be affordable to play and be attractive to new golfers. A special weekend afternoon rate has been introduced, where Green Fees are set at $20 for golf, after three p.m. We have conducted one of our

major, annual golf events, the Mr/ Mrs tournament. Congratulations to Rob/Sue Brown on winning this event. The tournament attracted a field of 37 teams, and enjoyed the first nice weekend of the season. The tournament committee of Sue MacKenzie, Judy Fraser and Karin Williamson organized a first class event that was enjoyed by all. A tie breaking procedure was necessary to determine the winners of the Port City Open, two person net event. The teams of R.W. MacDonald/Bart Kuntz (63-58) were declared champions over Howard Linn/Lachlan Clement (59-62), based on the lower final

round. Margaret Chan/Cynthia Rosario (61-62) finished in third place. The weekend had individual highlights as Gerry Casavant shot a one under par gross 69 on Saturday, while Howard Linn recorded a one over par 71. Cynthia Rosario watched her tee shot on #2, hit the pin and sit on the edge of the hole for a near Ace. The majority of golfers will never experience the thrill of a single Hole In One, but Prince Rupert golfer Derrick Ridgeway has recorded two Aces. Derrick scored a Hole in One on the 17th hole 11 years ago and matched the feat this week with an Ace on the

2nd hole, using a nine iron. The feat was witnessed by golfing partners Danny Wright, Brody Bishop, Jarrod Andreeson and Devin Palmer. The month of June, is our Open month, with the Ladies Jubilee scheduled for the 11th and 12th, followed by the 54 hole Men’s Jubilee on June 17, 18 and 19. The Vic Marion Seniors concludes the month on June 25th and 26th. For registration or information about these events or any other golf matters, contact the Pro Shop at 250 624 2000.
