Update given on Tsimshian Cultural Pavilion By Shaun Thomas The Northern View
“We Don’t Sell - We Help you Buy” 700 Third Ave W, PRINCE RUPERT,
250-624-5060
Te Taru White, the consultant hired for the initial work on a Tsimshian Cultural Pavilion on the waterfront, was back in town last weekend to provide residents of Prince Rupert, Lax Kw’alaams and Metlakatla with an update on the project. By the end of Monday White and the partners, which include the Prince Rupert Port Authority, Lax Kw’alaams and Metlaktala, were to have identified potential partners, developed a project management framework and White was to have submitted a project prospectus. The next step, which will take place in July, is to present the information and idea to potential partners for funding, with the goal of obtaining the funds for a business case and feasibility study by August 1 so that a request for proposals for the study can be sent out on August 8. Once the firm doing the study has been

chosen, the hope is to have the study finished by the end of November so that a decision on whether or not to proceed can be made by January, 2012. Should the group decide to go ahead with the pavilion, White says he expects it could open by April, 2013 - just in time for a potential cruise ship return. “Knowing that the cruise lines book two years in advance, we have some fast talking to do to convince them that we will have something special here in 2013,” he said, noting that the pavilion would need to be part of a bigger Prince Rupert experience. “I see this as a hub or a portal, and not necessarily a destination, to the best of what Prince Rupert offers...This way people get the 10,000-plus years of history but also what we are today.” During the presentation White outlined some cultural centres that have seen success but also others who are currently facing challenges, and made it clear that cultural centres can be commercially challenging.
“Culture and commerce must work hand in hand. You may look at the project and see the best return for investment on the bottom line is elsewhere...But the build up of cultural capital has to be considered,” he said. “Be realistic in that you are not running this to make a lot of money and be realistic that these can be commercially challenging, but you are running this to display the cultural capital you have.” The partners also have to be realistic and remove the “rose coloured glasses” when it comes to budgeting and projecting the number of visitors to the site each year, something he credits for the challenges facing both the Haida Heritage Centre in Skidegate and Squamish/Liliw’at Centre in Whistler. “You can’t just say that based on visitor projections we can make this thing hum...

◆ RCMP INFORMED
Human skeleton found during repairs to Metlakatla home By Alan S. Hale The Northern View A human skeleton was unearthed in Metlakatla a few weeks ago. According to the Prince Rupert RCMP, the remains were discovered when someone dug through a basement wall to repair a sewer line. When the skeletal remains were found, the band called the RCMP and gave forensic investigators photographs of the skeleton for them to analyze. Investigators determined that the bones are very old and do not match up with any missing persons reports. David Archer is a local archeologist who has worked in the Prince Rupert area for several years, and teaches and Northwest Community College. While he wasn’t been told about the find, he says that he’s not surprised that human remains would be found underneath the modern-day Metlakatla Village. “There are two archeological sites in the
current area of Metlakatla Village, so it’s not at all unusual if there’s any kind of construction work or disturbance of the ground in that area that human remains might turn up,” says Archer. Archer says that deposits in the Metlakatla area can be up to 5,000 years old and that most of the human remains found around Prince Rupert are typically 1,500 to 3,000 years old. “Its definitely a problem when you have an active community on top of an archeological site, people can’t do very much without disturbing the ground in one way or another,” says Archer. According to the police, the bones were left where they were found and reburied after the photos were sent to the investigators. The Prince Rupert Northern View tried repeatedly to ask the Metlakatla Band for information or comment about the archeological find but they declined comment on the subject.

◆ NUCLEAR POWER SUPPLY
Uranium fuel rods make their way through downtown By Alan S. Hale The Northern View
the center of town, and some were shocked that the port was allowed to import dangerous goods without public meetings. The port says that even though the goods require special precautions, they were not in any real danger of harming any one. They say that the rods were so well shielded inside their containers that they actually gave off less radiation than other kinds of cargo. “In terms of radiation, when they are scanned – as is all cargo that comes though Fairview- they actually
give off less radiation than Bananas, apparently,” says Gurney. The port also says that this isn’t the first time that radioactive materials have been shipped through Prince Rupert either; the last time it happened was earlier this year. Gurney says that because of the nature of international trade, sometimes dangerous goods are going to come through the port of Prince Rupert.
Some Prince Rupert residents were shocked to see trucks with radiation warnings on them driving down 3rd Avenue in downtown Prince Rupert last week. The trucks and their apparently radioactive cargo were mentioned at last week’s Labour Council meeting and pictures and speculation of what the trucks might be began surfacing on the Internet. According to the Prince Rupert Port Authority, the trucks that were seen in town were carrying uranium fuel rods, which FEATURED DANCERS… are to be used in a new nuclear power facility currently being constructed in South Carolina by Westing House Electric Company. Uranium fuel rods are usually pellets of Uranium Oxide placed inside metal tubes, which are then used in the core of a nuclear reactor to generate electricity. The rods were brought to the city from Beijing and arrived on June 23, on board one of the many Chinese cargo ships that stop in Prince Rupert, the Tian Kang He. The fuel rods are considered to be “Class 7 dangerous goods” according to Canadian shipping laws, which includes everything from fuel rods to military explosives. The port authority says that because of the dangerous goods classification, Fairview Terminal’s security manager personally inspected the cargo before it left the ship to make sure the proper procedures for transporting it were being followed “When it comes to Class 7 cargo, there are Contributed photo a great number of security measures that are The Gitmaxmak’ay Nisga’a Dancers were hosted by the Victoria Native Friendship Centre observed.

◆ WEAK STOCK TO BLAME
Early closure of troll fishery is “a real blow” to Masset By Monica Lamb-Yorski The Northern View The commercial troll Chinook fishery off the West Coast of Haida Gwaii was closed late Wednesday evening by the Department of Fisheries and Oceans after DNA samples revealed too many salmon from the West Coast Vancouver Island had been caught. “We monitor that troll fishery. It’s a weak stock and samples came in indicating the amount of WCVI exceeded the allocated amount,” said DFO Area Chief Resource Manager Dale Gueret Thursday. It has been estimated that since the troll fishery opened on June 9 and up to June 20, commercial troll fishermen netted 66,000 Chinook. DNA sampling of 661 of those fish showed that seven per cent of the Chinook were from the WCVI stock, exceeding the three percent allocation. Although it was hoped the fishery would stay open until August 2, it will not be revisited until at least after September 8 when it is assumed that the WCVI will no longer be in the vicinity. However, said Gueret, trollers will have opportunities to fish for Coho, Pink and Sockeye salmon in July. For CB Island Fisheries Ltd. in Massett, the closure comes as a swift kick in the pants, said General Manager Alan Frick Friday morning as he headed out to the dock to meet a boat waiting to offload fish. “It’s been pretty severe because we’ve only had a week and a half of work. Only 50 per cent of the allocated Chinook have been taken and if it doesn’t reopen we’ll be out millions of dollars here,” Frick explained. “It’s a real blow to the community of Masset.” Normally his processors would have had four or five weeks of work with the Chinook harvest, now they’ll have to wait until

OPINION
MY VIEW…
Where’s the incentive to bargain? Well, I think after this week’s postal-related gong show (let’s call it what it is here) on Parliament Hill, I think you can stick a fork in collective bargaining when it comes to government operated organizations. I’ve personally never been involved in a union or union negotiations, but it makes sense that the two parties try and look after their best interests. If they’re unsuccessful in bargaining then striking or lock-outs is the next step to up the pressure to get the two groups back to the table, and if that still doesn’t work then going to binding arbitration makes sense. And if the two still won’t agree, then either the job action carries on or, if it is an essential service, back to work legislation becomes needed. But for that back to work legislation to undermine the original pay increase offered by the employer to the employee is really a slap in the face of the workers and the process as a whole. More so, going back to the original point, proposing legislation that undermines the pay increases offered by management gives the company absolutely zero incentive to get back to the table, to agree to arbitration or to take any steps whatsoever to resolve the matter without government intervention. As an analogy let’s say you want to buy a car. You offer the dealer $18,000, the dealer comes back and says he won’t accept less than $22,000. Someone comes in and says ‘If you don’t agree on a price in five minutes, the car will be sold for $15,000’. In that situation, are you going to try and resolve the issue with the car dealer or are you going to sit on your butt and keep your mouth shut for five minutes knowing a better
deal is coming your way if you don’t reach an agreement. The sheer ridiculous of it all boggles the mind and, based on the precedent set by this decision, makes me feel sorry for any union that has a dispute with the Federal Government in the next four years. It basically says to managers, ‘don’t worry, we got your back’. And the truth is, since the Conservatives have a majority, there isn’t a damn thing anyone can do to
stop this from happening again. People can rally, people can write letters, politicians can stall for more than 50 hours nonstop - and the government can do what it wants anyway. It certainly doesn’t give managers incentive to resolve matters quickly, but I think it may have succeeded in forcing unions take a closer look at potentially unwanted offers they receive... ~ Shaun Thomas
Blogs and social media offer authentic, real time experiences I had a chance on the weekend to meet up with blogger Chris Mathieson, who will be spending a couple on weeks on the Northwest Coast. He’s actually here documenting a project called Skipper Otto’s Community Supported Fishery, but at the same time he’s broadcasting his experience real-time through various social media. The Community Supported Fishery is itself an interesting project (www. wildbcsalmon.org). If you’ll forgive my simplified description, a cooperative of people buy shares, in advance, in the season’s catch from a commercial fishing boat. They take the same risks in the season as the fishermen, and at the end receive their share of the catch. This journey has led Chris up the coast to Prince Rupert. He left Sunday for the Nass, and will explore Haida Gwaii before he returns south early next month. These days it’s increasingly common for our promotional connections to first happen through social media. A year ago New

‘Santa Maria’ proves that if a visitor has an authentic experience, and enjoys it, we ultimately don’t have to worry about how it will be reported.” Today Chris is again proving the point. He’s tweeting (@cogno) from a gillnetter, saying things like, “I can’t believe that I’m tweeting an hour off-shore from Prince Rupert, in the middle of a *ton* of rolling water.” That’s an authentic experience – not one that would appear in a tourism brochure, but one that I can guarantee will enchant his followers with the unique experience of coming here in any fashion. “It’s not marketing,” Chris says. “I’m having a personal adventure that I happen to be sharing with others. You have to be genuine. It has to be a real conversation between real people. People can tell very quickly if you’re selling snake oil.” Like all bloggers, Chris is what we call an “influencer,” a person whose online presence drives the interest of others. This is, increasingly, the future of marketing and communications.

Wine of the week Greg Norman Coonawarra Cabernet-Merlot 2004 – [Limestone Coast, Australia] A pioneer in the celebrity winemaking arena, Greg Norman Estates has been expanding their vineyards throughout Australia and California wine making regions since the 1990’s. This is a gorgeous, velvety wine with a bouquet of leather, sweet smoke and humidor. On the palate black cherry, blackberry and pink peppercorn round out the silky tannins; even with a high percentage of alcohol there is very little heat. This shows well with a rack of lamb or a prime rib entree alongside roasted garlic mashed potatoes and sautéed beets.

At a ceremony on June 20 Prince Rupert medical imaging manager Loretta Robinson was named the Health Hero for Northern Health by the BC Health Employers Association. In the citation, it was noted that Robinson “quickly developed the necessary scheduling, budgeting and staffing for her department in Prince Rupert so that she could travel to the village of Masset once each month to conduct an ultrasound clinic” after Haida Gwaii was facing the loss of ultrasound service. During the trips, she would typically see 15 patients per day to ensure everyone who needed ultrasound got it.

◆ PARK PARTY
Music and fun planned for Kitson Island Days this weekend By Martina Perry The Northern View Earlier this month, B.C.’s Environment Minister, Barry Penner, encouraged people in the province to partake in celebrations in commemoration of 100 years of provincial parks, and the Prince Rupert Community Arts Council and Prince Rupert Community Band will be doing just that by hosting a concert and various other nature-related fun activities taking place on Kitson Island on July 2 and July 3.
This is a new concert idea for the community band, who will be playing nature-related music at the concert, which will be starting on Saturday, July 2 at noon on the island. “[The music] has to do with nature, with pieces such as ‘Morning Fog’, with the music being sort of still, then a bit of fog horn where the fog lifts and you get a sense of sunshine coming in, then it comes back in again and lifts like typical fog happens out there,” explained the Director of the band, Peter Witherly, mentioning some
other titles, including “The Storm”, and “On the Beach”. As well as the concert, there will be a number of outdoor activities such as picnics, campfires, nature hikes, as well as opportunities to paint and practice photography with guides. Kitson Island is near the mouth of the Skeena River, about two miles southwest of Port Edward. The island is small, however it has sandy beaches, interesting plant life with a foreshore that includes rocky outcrops and extensive sand banks. Kitson Island is a wilderness
spot, with no fire pits, drinking water, shelter, toilets, docks, etc. so Witherly wants to remind people that they need to bring everything one needs themselves, including garbage bags so the park can be left in the condition it was before the event. Unfortunately, organizers do not have the means to provide a way of travel for the general public. There will be a boat traveling to and from each day, however space is limited. “There is no guarantee that there will be a spot on the boat for everyone to get across. People

◆ RAISING AWARENESS
Event celebrates cultural diversity in Canada and Rupert By Martina Perry The Northern View Although Canadian Multiculturalism Day wasn’t officially until Monday, June 27, celebrations in Prince Rupert came early when on Sunday, June 26, the North Coast Immigrant and Multicultural Services Society hosted Diversity Day at the Rupert Square Mall to help raise awareness. At Diversity Day, members of the community were encouraged to come down and listen to special guest speakers Saša Loggin from the Skeena Diversity Society, and Jane Dickson from the Affiliation of Multicultural Societies and Service Agencies of BC, who both traveled from Terrace to attend. Loggin spoke about what the Skeena Diversity Society has been doing over the past few years including opening a downtown
office, painting a building with spray paint graffiti, hosting dinners and coffee gatherings and other various events that bring people with different backgrounds together. “We are creating opportunities together for people who usually wouldn’t have them and breaking barriers,” explained Loggin. Additionally, a number of representatives from different cultural groups and associations, such as AFFNO, Sons and Daughters of Norway, IndoCanadian Association, Prince Rupert Chinese Association, and more spoke to people in attendance about what their groups do. A majority of the representatives made it known that they were excited about coming together and what that could mean for the community. The North Coast Immigrant
and Multicultural Services Society is a non-profit organization that came together in October and are on a mission to partner with the community to celebrate the multicultural richness in the region and community as well as provide access to services for immigrants. There previously was a similar multicultural group, however due to lack of support it did not survive. Local Louisa Sanchez has been a major force behind both groups, and is happy to look forward to the organizations future. “What we are looking Martina Perry photo forward to is to provide Celebrating cultural diversity was the focus of the Canadian Multiculturservice and support to new alism Day event in the Rupert Square Mall on Sunday. Canadians that come to Prince Rupert,” said Sanchez. integration to the community and and appreciation of the diversity “We are working towards full also to promote public awareness we have in Prince Rupert.”

MLA says plans for re-election depend on election timing By Shaun Thomas The Northern View While the NDP announced

when Premier Christy Clark calls the next election. Responding to an inquiry from the Prince Rupert Northern View
about his plans for the future, Coons said he would definitely seek the nomination again if an election is held this fall as many anticipate.
However, if the next election is held as scheduled in 2013, Coons said it “may be questionable” if he would seek re-election.

They are the face of Prince Rupert to thousands of cruise ship passengers every year, and we at the Prince Rupert Northern View hope to tell the story of the volunteers of the Cruise Ship Ambassador program through a weekly feature. And there is perhaps nobody better to start this series than Ethel Moorehouse, who has been a volunteer ambassador since the first day the program was rolled out. Moorehouse was born and raised in Prince Rupert and came back to the to town after retiring. For Ethel, telling people about the community she calls home is what brings her out every time a ship pulls up to Northland Terminal. “I love Prince Rupert. God did a great job of creating it, the natural beauty of the town is amazing and I want to promote the community,” she said. “Being an ambassador is really fun. You get to meet all kinds of people and I have even made friends through the
people I met who came off of the cruise ships” And much like many in the community, Ethel has her own history to tell people when they walk by her near the current Homework location. “I stand by what was formerly the Love Electric building and, since the Daily News closed down, it is one of the oldest operating businesses in Contributed photo town…My father Prince Rupert’s volunteer ambassadors provide cruise passengers with went to work for information on the city and are there to help tell people about Prince Love Electric when Rupert and life on the north coast. he was 15 and stayed with the company right Moorehouse said she has no good for the economy and through to when he retired,” plans of stopping her volunteer great for meeting all kinds of she explained. work for the group. people.

Birthday Canada!
The history of the Canadian flag and anthem The Canadian Flag Upon confederation in 1867, Canada’s national flag remained the Royal Union Flag, the Union Jack. And although that was Canada’s official flag, Prime Minister John A. Macdonald took to flying the unique Canadian Red Ensign as a distinctive flag of Canada. The Canadian Red Ensign was a red flag with the Union Jack in the top left hand corner and the Coat of Arms of the different provinces in the centre right portion of the flag. Although it had no official designation, it was commonly
used on Canadian vessels traveling the seas. It also flew over Parliament buildings until it was replaced by the Union Jack in 1904. On September 5, 1945, following World War II, the Governor General produced an Order in Council that permitted the flying of the flag over federal buildings in Canada and internationally. In 1964 Prime Minister Lester B. Pearson wanted to make sure Canada had a new flag and presented his proposed flag to the House of Commons. The flag proved to be quite divisive amongst
different parties in the country and an all-party committee was formed to select Canada’s next flag. That October the committee came back with three designs to choose from: One with three red maple leaves with blue bars, one with a single red maple leaf on a white square with red bars and one with both the Union Jack and three fleurs-delis. On October 29, 1964 the committee made the recommendation that the single maple leaf design be adopted. But division around the country and in the House of Commons
DISTRICT OF PORT EDWARD
persisted and it wasn’t until 2:15 a.m. on December 15, 1964 that the House of Commons adopted the flag as it stands today by a vote of 163-78. The design was said to be the idea of Dr. George Stanley, the Dean of Arts at the Royal Military College. The Canadian National Anthem “O Canada” has long been the anthem sung proudly by Canadians from coast to coast, but it wasn’t until 1980 that the song was

Three naval ships visiting Prince Rupert for Canada Day By Alan S. Hale The Northern View There will be something new at this year’s Canada Day celebrations in Prince Rupert. Three different Kingston-class naval ships will be docked at the Atlin Terminal down in Cow Bay
for public viewing and they will be hosting an open house at the Atlin Dock for the public from nine a.m. to five p.m. on July 1. According to the Prince Rupert Special Events Society, those who come down to see the ships will be given onboard tours. “They’ll show you all their

The ships are commonly used costal surveillance and patrol, which involves things like search and rescue operations and support for law enforcement, resource protection and pollution control. All of the ships have a crew of 37 sailors most of which are typically reservists with a small
number of regular force personnel. All three ships are also equipped with “state-of-the-art” sonar equipment for surveying the bottom of the ocean. The equipment creates geo-coded sonar images of the sea floor, which can be used for the mapping of new sea routes, and also for detecting mines.

◆ FEDERAL AFFAIRS
Tankers, asbestos and the Senate key focusses for MP By Alan S. Hale The Northern View The federal NDP held their national party convention in Vancouver recently, where among other things they passed a resolution making an oil tanker ban off the North Coast one of the party’s policy goals. It was passed with every one of the 1,500 party delegates voting in favour of it. “The motions allows us to say that there are certain places on BC’s north coast that aren’t suitable for supertanker traffic because of the dangers. The resolution was heard by the entire convention and was passed unanimously,” said local MP Nathan Cullen.
Cullen and other MPs recently reintroduced a private member bill that would legislate a ban into effect on the North Coast. The bill will be selected at random to be voted on by the House of Commons, and would almost certainly be defeated unless the Conservative majority in Parliament change their position on a possible ban. Cullen says, that the motion more than anything else solidifies his party’s stance on the issue. “What this does is that it confirms the work we’re doing in Parliament at the party level. It’s an endorsement from the members of the NDP that what we are doing is right. It enshrines it in NDP policy, it says that it’s not just for the moment, but is a long-term fight,”
said Cullen. Another fight Cullen is involving himself with in Ottawa is the controversy over the Canadian exporting of asbestos, which while being illegal here is still used in developing countries. Canada recently joined with countries such as Vietnam, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan to block the addition of asbestos to a UN list of dangerous materials. “I find it appalling that this government won’t allow it into the Parliament buildings and is spending millions to take it out of public buildings everywhere in Canada, but feels as though it’s okay for Indian workers and their families to be exposed to,” said Cullen.
Cullen says that he would like to see the Canadian workers who work for the asbestos industry transitioned into a different line of work with help from the Federal Government. “We’re going to start meeting with people in those communities that would be affected...One thing we know is that this industry is dying, it’s either going to die a natural death or be forced out by legislation,” said Cullen. Cullen also says that he is in favour of the NDP’s plan to try to force the abolishment of the Senate, rather than reform it into an elected body, which the
Conservatives want to do. The NDP are hoping to get the government to stop funding the Senate in order to “bleed it dry.” “The Senate is an antiquated relic from the past, it serves no plausible function, costs a lot of money and, boy, these guys know how to take their entitlements home...Showing up for work for two days a week and getting $140,000 with no responsibilities. That seems like a cushy job if it’s yours for life just because you knew somebody,” said Cullen.
◆ ABORIGINAL DAY ANNOUNCEMENT
Province extends Aboriginal forest rights By Tom Fletcher Black Press The B.C. government is extending its interim forest and range agreements with aboriginal people to include a
new 25-year woodland licence for Crown forests. Forests Minister Steve Thomson announced the new licence Tuesday, one of a series of initiatives to mark National Aboriginal Day. It will provide
exclusive rights to harvest Timber on designated Crown land, as well as rights to harvest, manage and charge fees for botanical forest products. “This is something First Nations have been specifically
asking for,” Thomson said. “We’ve been working closely with them to develop a licence that meets their specific needs and supports their participation in the forest sector.”
HST at 10% or GST + PST at 12%? If British Columbians vote ‘NO‛ to going back to PST + GST in the referendum, the HST reduction to 10% will be the law. The province‛s official notification to the Government of Canada guarantees the drop in HST by way of a signed federal government order.

OUR ELECTRICITY GRID IS ABOUT TO GET
A WHOLE LOT SMARTER
STARTING THIS SUMMER, BC HYDRO WILL BE UPGRADING HOMES AND BUSINESSES WITH NEW SMART METERS. MOVING TO A MORE EFFICIENT, MODERNIZED GRID WILL CREATE IMMEDIATE SAVINGS FOR OUR CUSTOMERS. YOU MAY BE WONDERING... What is a smart meter? The smart metering program will modernize our electricity system by replacing old electro-mechanical meters with new digital meters. A smart meter is a a digital meter that records the amount of power you use. It helps improve the efficiency of the power grid, means less wasted electricity and gets BC ready for future power needs. What are the benefits for me as a customer? You will be able to see your power use in near real time and it will be faster and easier to open and close your account if you move. What happens if the power goes out? With smart meters in place, BC Hydro can pinpoint power outages and restore power faster. How does it make my community safer? The new meters reduce public and worker exposure to theft-related safety hazards, such as house fires, live wires and premature transformer failures. How will my meter be read? There will be remote, two way communication between your meter and BC Hydro. Smart meter signals are short, infrequent and will last less than one minute per day. Is the signal safe? The signals are low level frequency and exceed Health Canada safety standards. Is my information secure? Similar to online banking systems, the data from the meters is secure and your privacy is protected.

In Memoriam
REMEMBERING
Sherry Thorkelson (nee Gaudette) 30.06.1957 20.12.2010 Happy Birthday Sherry. We are remembering you on your birthday. Sherry’s life was ended suddenly and tragically as a result of a car accident near Yale, BC on December 20, 2010 while en route to Prince Rupert to spend Christmas with her family. Sherry loved life, loved people and was always happy and upbeat. Sherry was a collector of friends. She always made time for her friends and, as a result, they all felt special. She was extremely thoughtful and kind to all. Above all else, she was a loving and utterly devoted mother. Her daughter Julie was the centre of her universe and we know Sherry continues her vigilant watch over Julie from heaven. Sherry is deeply mourned by her family and sorely missed forever: daughter, Julie; parents, Edie & Lou Gaudette; brothers Rick (Nancy), Darryl (Heather); sisters Beverly (Flora), Lisa (Gordie); her dear sister-in-law Joy (Ken) and many nieces and nephews.

MAGRO, PRIMO PIETRO Primo passed away on Thursday, June 23, 2011 at the age of 86 years. He is survived by his loving family: two sons, Adriano Magro (Diane Pich and son Mckenzie) and Sergio Magro all of Burnaby, BC. Predeceased by his wife Elvira on August 8, 2000. Predeceased by his siblings: Vincenzo Giuseppe, Regina Maria, Angela, Teresina, Vittorio, Pierina, Sante Emilio, Antonio, Secondo Paolo (twin). Primo was born on August 7, 1924 in Basalghelle di Mansue, Treviso, Italy. During WWII, Primo served as an anti-aircraft gunner in the Italian army where he was actively involved in the “Battle of the Brenner.â€? In 1944, while positioned in Trento, Primo’s duty was to visually sight and shoot down enemy aircraft in order to protect the bridges over the Adige River. By the end of the war, Primo would survive 6 months of brutal ďŹ ghting and safely return home to his family. In 1956 Primo married Elvira Maria Sandre in Italy. In October of 1958 Primo and Elvira set sail for Canada on board the MV Saturnia. After a long voyage they landed in Halifax at Pier 21.They then travelled by rail across the country, arriving in Prince Rupert, BC where they would later re-marry at an informal ceremony at the Court House. On June 28, 1960 Primo and Elvira became proud parents for the ďŹ rst time with son, Adriano. They would become parents for a second time on August 5, 1965 with son, Sergio. In 1994, Primo and Elvira left Northern BC for the Okanagan. Kelowna would become their new home where they would enjoy life with friends old and new. On August 8, 2000, Elvira Maria Magro quietly passed away after a long and brave battle with breast cancer. She was 66 years old. The Magro family would like to thank our friends and family in Vancouver, Kelowna, Prince Rupert, Toronto, and Italy for your love and support. Prayers will be recited on Monday, June 27th at 7:00 pm at St. Pius X Catholic Church, 1077 Fuller Avenue, Kelowna, BC, where also a Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Tuesday, June 28th at 11:00 am. Interment will follow in the Kelowna Memorial Park Cemetery. In lieu of owers, memorial donations may be made to the BC Heart & Stroke Foundation, #4 – 1551 Sutherland Ave., Kelowna, BC V1Y 9M9. Condolences may be sent to the family by visitingwww.springďŹ eldfuneralhome.com, 250-860-7077.

◆ A CALL TO THE COMMUNITY
Volunteer mentors needed for recreation pilot project By Martina Perry The Northern View The Recreation Department from the City of Prince Rupert and the Prince Rupert Friendship House are calling out for mentors/ volunteers to help support a pilot project’s success for youths this summer. The pilot project will be for youths in the community looking for something to entertain themselves
on Friday evenings. Organizers are hoping to start the project on Friday, July 8 from 9:30 p.m. until 11:30 p.m. with weekly events running until the end of summer. “It’s a pilot project for now. If we do get the interest we’re hoping to get, we will look at
others nights,” said Rudy Kelly from the Recreation Department, who says organizers hope the project will receiving helpful input from the youth in attendance. “We want this to be driven by youth,” he explained, mentioning that various rooms in the Civic Centre will be opened with different activities going on in each to
“They could be there to support the youth and be involved with them and teach them a few things...” adding
see what is popular amongst the group. Additionally, organizers handed out surveys at the Friendship House; Youth Hub to seek advice from hub members. For the pilot to be successful mentors/volunteers from the community are needed. People wishing to lend their time will have to have a criminal record check done beforehand. People with a variety of different interests are encouraged to spare some of their time.
“If someone’s thing is floor hockey, or basketball, or any sort of activity that they have a little bit of an interest in, or some coaching back round…They could be there to support the youth and be involved with them and teach them a few things,” commented Kelly. Anyone who wants to help the youth project, and has some spare time and patience is encouraged to contact Rudy Kelly at 250 624 6707 or email him at rudy.kelly@ princerupert.ca.
NEW ◆ ON THE LINKS DOCTORS In the rough: Rampage golf series ends The Large Clinic is pleased to announce that
Drs. John and Sunelle Fawell have joined the clinic and are accepting new patients. 250-624-9651
By Moe Hays The Northern View When the final putt was holed on Sunday afternoon, the last of three Prince Rupert Golf Club Open tournaments, was over, and a month of competitive golf, came to a conclusion (see age 23 for results)
Also concluding this past week, was the very successful Prince Rupert Rampage Junior Golf series. The program had a total registration of sixty boys and girls, in two divisions. The young group was for participants ten years and under and the Senior Division, older golfers. The idea for the program came from Colt and
Brett Stava, who recruited volunteers from the popular hockey team. The eight week program presented an opportunity for the youth to acquire some information on technique and etiquette involved in the game and to see that the golf course is a fun place to spend time. In addition, parents and
grandparents who attended, would see the Golf Course as a fun and safe place for the youth. We will conduct our regular Summer Series of Golf Clinics on Tuesday mornings, beginning on July 12th. This will be a drop in program available to Boys and Girls with no age restrictions.
The 2011 Grad Parents Committee would like to thank the many parent volunteers and the following businesses for their generous support of the Prom held on June 4, 2011. Please accept our apologies if we have left anyone out. The never-ending support of the Prince Rupert Businesses is phenomenal - we hope the graduates of 2011 expand their horizons but always remember the community that raised them.
