Premier discusses the need to facilitate growth among ports in the northwest By Cameron Orr Black Press
“We Don’t Sell - We Help you Buy” 700 Third Ave W, PRINCE RUPERT,
250-624-5060
Premier Christy Clark talked about resource development during her tour of the Northwest and said that developing the regional ports would be a part of that strategy. “China wants our lumber, and what we’re trying to do is open up the market in China for wood frame housing and wood frame commercial buildings,” she said. She said that she’d ideally like to see every log harvested in B.C. processed here, but

she admits that isn’t always possible, particularly since raw logs come off private land which the government wouldn’t have control over. But there is room for government involvement in opening up the Asian markets, particularly in the area ports. “We are going to be investing a lot of resources into trying to make sure that we expand Prince Rupert and make sure that

letting the market and industry get the products out of the ground without too much interference — but developing ports is a way they can still be involved. “We can get out of the way of economic growth here and hopefully people will start extracting more resources and creating more wealth, but we have to be able to enable it getting to market, so if Rupert is a bottleneck, we have to clear that up.” Clark toured the area, stopping in Terrace and Smithers before heading back south.

According to McMillan, the closure will result in about 80 full time positions being lost.

◆ TRANSLOAD FACILITY
Proposed expansion in Chicago would benefit Rupert By Shaun Thomas The Northern View One of the main selling-points for the Prince Rupert port is the railway connection between Fairview Terminal down and Chicago and all the different markets that can be found in the mid-west United States, and plans are now underway in the Chicago area to expand a facility for loading and unloading trains to take advantage of the railway connection to Prince Rupert; a project that could ship 1-million containers to and from Fairview Terminal. The Chicago Southland Development Corporation (CSDC) is hoping to expand an existing “intermodal logistics park” in the Chicago area, which is used by CN Rail, for its operations there. The CSDC hopes to improve the logistics park in time for completion of the phase II expansion of Fairview Terminal which is expected, to begin sometime over the next year. Reggie Greenwood is the Director of Economic Development for the CSDC. He says the hope is that an improved intermodal park will convince local businesses to use Prince Rupert as a more convenient way of getting
products into the midwest instead of using facilities owned by the Union Pacific or BNSF railways, which are farther away in the county. “What we are promoting is to help companies recognize that the expansion of the building and the subsequent expansion of the Prince Rupert port provides companies with an alternative to get products into the mid-west,” said Greenwood. Greenwood says that he hopes to sell businesses on the idea based on Prince Rupert itself; the fact that CN’s intermodal park sits close to, but not actually inside the city of Chicago, which will make moving products to and from it easier; and that it has access to the interstate and a fourway interchange. The biggest roadblock to the project, says Greenwood, is that the CN intermodal park is located inside suburbs. “It’s not like you’re out in a corn field where you go buy a thousand acres of land and build five-million feet of industrial space. There are issues with building in a suburb. But there are pluses, which are that all the infrastructure is mostly here,” said Greenwood. According to Greenwood, the facility would be a win-win
for everyone involved. Not only would the facility increase the amount of container traffic coming through Prince Rupert, the CSDC is hoping that it will create jobs in the Chicago suburbs. The project is still in its early stages because the CSDC hasn’t found a company who wants to fund the expansion of the intermodal park yet, but once its done, Greenwood says he hopes to see it moving a million containers to and from Prince Rupert. “We’re making great progress, we’re raising money, doing studies, we’re Week of July 13 working closely with CN.

The Northern View
The Snowbirds come August 4.
The iconic Canadian Forces Snowbirds will be bringing their dazzling aerial show to Prince Rupert in under a month, and organizers are inviting people from around the region to take in this rare northwest performance. Beginning at 6 p.m. on Thursday, August 4, the Snowbirds will take to the air over the Prince Rupert Harbour, ensuring a clear view of the show and the famous Snowbird formations from around town. There will also be a community celebration to mark the arrival of the Snowbirds on the North Coast, scheduled to start at Rotary Waterfront Park beginning at 3 p.m. The celebration will include food vendors, entertainment, ground displays that include emergency services vehicles and helicopters and more and promises something for people of all ages to enjoy. Rotary Waterfront Park will also be the site of a visit from the pilots following the performance, giving children and adults alike a chance to meet
these high-flying and highly skilled Airforce pilots. As well as what is expected to be a massive gathering at Rotary Waterfront Park, organizers have partnered with Astral Media to broadcast the play-by-play of the show on the Mix, AM 560, during the Snowbirds performance to allow people to enjoy the full Snowbirds experience wherever they may be. And while organizers invite everyone to take in the free show and celebration, they ask that people leave their dogs at home because the noise coming from the speedy Snowbirds planes can have a negative effect on their hearing. They also ask that, when possible, people bring their own lawn chairs to the show as seating is limited. Organizers are also looking for volunteers. Anyone interested in volunteering can call the Snowbirds Committee at 250-6249118

◆ EDUCATION
Port Edward, SD52 reach long-term lease agreement By Shaun Thomas The Northern View A new school in Port Edward took one step closer to becoming reality earlier this week as Port Edward council and the Prince Rupert School District reached an agreement on a long-term lease for the new Port Edward Community School. The agreement comes following the passing of a referendum that allows the District of Port Edward to borrow up to $2 million to construct a three-classroom school with a library, administration offices and facilities attached to the current municipal office and community hall building.
Port Edward mayor Dave MacDonald says the agreement is a major milestone in moving the project forward. “This agreement with the school district allows us to guarantee education service to our young families. As the planned growth on Ridley Island starts and new jobs are created, it is important that we remain an attractive option for newcomers to locate their families. By being able to provide education within our town site, I think we have achieved that,” he said. “The School District and the District of Port Edward are committed to keeping education in our town and I am happy to announce that the agreement we

have reached will allow us to do that for the foreseeable future.” With the funding in place and an agreement on a long term lease reached, Bonni Maddison architects will continue planning for construction, with the goal being having the school complete next summer and ready for the first day of classes in 2012. Details on the longterm lease agreement, including the length of time and the amount, were not released as discussions about the agreement took place during an in-camera meeting.

The number of properties sold through the first half of 2011 in Prince Rupert is down compared to the first six month of 2010, and are the lowest in the northwest region, according to stats released by the Northern BC Real Estate Board on July 6. There were 56 properties worth $10.35 million sold in the first half of 2011 compared to 71 properties worth $13.2 million in the first half of 2010 – 15 fewer properties sold for $2.85 million less. 50 of those properties were single family homes, down from 59 in the first half of 2010 with the average selling price being $193,534, down from
$202,324 in 2010. The average selling time for the homes in town was 147 days. At the end of June, there were still 295 properties listed. Prince Rupert was also the only community west of Burns Lake that saw fewer properties sold in the first half of 2011 compared to the first half of 2010. Local realtor Keith Lambourne says this decline in sales is a tough one to explain. “Until the closure of JS McMillan, which would have had an impact on these numbers, there wasn’t any bad economic news and most of it was good with Ridley Terminals and the port growing traffic...I was expecting the numbers to be up from last year, and was very surprised to see that they are down,” he
said. “It is a buyer’s market now, there’s still a good interest rate and there is lots to choose from. Based on my understanding of the good news coming down the pipe in 2012, now would be a good time to buy because you may not see these prices again.” By comparison to the two other communities in the northwest region, Terrace saw 135 properties valued at $25 million sold in the first half of the year compared to 94 in 2010 and Kitimat saw 85 properties sold for a value of $12 million compared to 45 properties worth $6.7 million in 2010. The average selling price of a home in Terrace was $208,044 and it was $149,565 in Kitimat.
I WILL MARK MY BALLOT ‘YES’ TO SAY ‘NO’ TO THE HST As your MLA and a member of the Of¿cial Opposition, I want you to know exactly why I will vote ‘YES’ to scrap the Liberal government’s HST. • The HST is a massive shift of the tax burden from large corporations onto the backs of average families and small businesses. • The deceptions of the HST cannot conceal the fact many things that had zero provincial tax are now taxed at 7% more. Items such as travel, haircuts, restaurant meals, sports fees, school supplies, safety equipment and household repairs, including making your home energy ef¿cient or ¿xing a leaky roof. • Not only will ordinary families pay more with the HST, but it will mean more cuts to vital public services including health care, education, seniors care and other social programs. My ‘YES’ vote to scrap the HST is a vote for more fairness. More support for ordinary families and small business. More protection for health care and education. A vote for accountability.

BC Ferries ridership down in the early months of summer By Shaun Thomas The Northern View The summer tourism season is more than halfway done, and stats from BC Ferries show that the number of people travelling the marine highway on the North Coast is down from the same time last year. There were 2,396 passengers who travelled the Inside Passage in May, down 21.2 per cent from the 3,041 last May, while the number of vehicles making the trip fell 20.1 per cent from 975 in 2010 to 779 in 2011. In June the number of passengers on the inside passage fell 13.28 per cent, from 5,431 last June to 4,710 this June, while the number of cars fell 11.1 per cent, down to 1,464 from 1,647. In total the number of passengers in May and June fell by 1,366 and vehicle traffic fell by 379. So far this year there have been 8,905 passengers and 2,877 vehicles taking the Inside Passage, which is down 11.49 per cent and 10.9 per cent respectively. The numbers are also down on the Prince Rupert to Skidegate route, although not as significantly as on the Inside Passage. In May there were 2,823 passengers making their way to or from Haida Gwaii, down 3.3 per cent from last May, and there were 1,136 vehicles, down 6.96 per cent from last May. In June, the number of passengers increased slightly yearto-year, rising .45 per cent from 3,527 to 3,543, while vehicle traffic fell slightly, from 1,402 last June to 1,394 this June. The number of passengers is down 81 from last year, and vehicle traffic is down 93 vehicles. In the first half of 2011 there were 8,110 passengers and 3,328 vehicles making the trip, down 5.12 per cent and 6.96 per cent respectively North Coast MLA and NDP Ferry Critic Gary Coons says he is not surprised to see the numbers are down. “It is the effect of price elasticity.

OPINION
MY VIEW…
Looking at a week of unfortunate news... They say bad things come in threes, and that was certainly the case when it came to the news for much of the week. First there was word on Tuesday that JS McMillan Fisheries was shutting down their processing plant, a move that will cost 80 full-time jobs, and the next day the Northern BC Real Estate Board released stats for the first half of the year showing property sales in Prince Rupert were down and that the community was the only one west of Burns Lake that saw a drop in sales. Finally, the numbers from BC Ferries show that ridership on the Inside Passage is down 1,366 people from the first two months of summer last year, while ridership to Haida Gwaii was also slightly down. Yep, certainly not what I would call a good news week. While it would be pretty easy to be pessimistic following some of the above news, the thing is that you never know what next week will bring. Amongst that bad news, there is of course plenty of good news for Rupertites. Exports through Fairview Terminal are up 79 per cent in the first half of 2011 compared to the first half of 2010; Chicago is looking at an intermodal expansion that could ship another million containers to Fairview Terminal; Ridley Terminals remains on track to break last year’s record and Premier Christy Clark re-affirmed the government’s commitment to growing Prince Rupert as it only serves to spur on economic growth around the region and the province. By no means do I want to make light of the people and
families impacted by the closure of JS McMillan - my heart goes out to them, I wish them all the best and I hope they can find a way to stay in the community. As I’ve said in the past, Prince Rupert is and will be for some time a town in transition - primarily from a resource based economy to a transportation hub for North America
and the Asia-Pacific. And one thing I’ve learned in my years in journalism is that you never know what is going to happen from one week to the next. Last week was a rough one, and I don’t know what this week will bring. But I have no doubt that the long term future of Prince Rupert is nothing but bright.

New resource is helping with online reputation management The Tourism Business Essentials Guides are a series of free manuals designed to help folks in the business of tourism learn more about the industry, and draw upon the knowledge and experience of provincial tourism leaders to help them build their business. They are a vital resource. I’m particularly interested in one of the newest, released in May, called “Online Reputation Management.” This subject is very relevant to many of the discussions we’ve been having lately at TPR. Many of our members and stakeholders are realizing that their customers are no longer where they used to be – that is, in traditional broadcast and print – and that they need to take their message online if they want to stay relevant. The eBusiness revolution does not mean that running a good business that focuses on customer satisfaction cannot be successful. In fact, in today’s marketing environment that’s more important than ever. But to promote, and to take the increasingly vital step of
services had the most influence engaging the customer, an understanding of your online Talking tourism on their travel choices. As one might expect, social reputation is vital. Because media is experiencing a sharp that’s the most important increase. Here 17 per cent thing to remember about of business travelers (almost this (and the subject of this double 2010 results) and 14 per guide).

with stakeholders is that they simply don’t know how to get started. The “Online Reputation Management” guide is a great place. You know that great statistics about online visitors are available, but you’re not sure how to access and truly understand it? Try the section on analytics tools. You understand that you need to resolve issues as they appear online, but you’re not sure exactly how to respond to a negative (or worse, inaccurate) review on TripAdvisor? Examples are provided. The entire series of Tourism Business Essentials Guides can be considered required reading for tourism entrepreneurs. They cover a wide gamut of topics, from human resources to building effective advertising, from understanding the value of travel media to outlining the province’s unique tourism sectors such as mountain bike tourism. They’re free online. Just visit http://www. jti.gov.bc.ca/industryresources/, and follow the link to the Tourism Business Essentials Guides.

Editor: In the first part of this letter which you so kindly published on May 25, 2011, almost verbatim, I attempted to describe from an outsiders point of view, the fundamentals underlying successful Tourism and their links to the notions of Heritage and Hospitality, no matter where. I also had intended to identify major barriers to the development of such notions. However, I concluded that such an undertaking would be too much to compress into one letter and therefore beg the further withholding of the editorial “dele” so that I can continue. After further reflection it seemed to me that the successes of the facilities listed were the result of having effective institutional support structures – ie. support structures that had clear mandates, action based practices and procedures and sufficient authority to do whatever is necessary to achieve their defined objectives. Those I listed in the first part of this letter (25 May 2011) illustrate my point quite well; The Container Terminal – an element in the world transportation system with almost no interest in local tourism, but a big attraction for short term local tourists. The Museum of Northern BC – a major repository of Aboriginal and local cultural and historical artifacts that attracts the interest of all categories of visitor as well as local and regional residents – it is owned and

Forts could be a major tourist attraction MLA scorned for HST talks
AT YOUR SERVICE
Continued from page 7 The City should give serious consideration to re-establishing the Heritage Advisory Committee as a Heritage Advisory Society (Non-Profit Registered) under the Societies Act and with a mandate that enables it to continue its advisory role to the City, on heritage matters, and empowers it to hold property, to publicly raise funds and to engage contractors for maintenance and capital development purposes. Board membership should be expanded to include representation from the B&B Community. With such a structure, Pillsbury House could continue as one of the City’s major Heritage Sites without being a drain on City coffers. - “The Forts” – the Forts I refer to are the two former Coast Defence Artillery Emplacements at the Prince Rupert Southwestern Harbour entrance, Barret Point on Kaien Island, and Frederick point on Digby Island. They are almost the last and most visible remains of a substantial
military (both Canadian and American) presence in Prince Rupert that commenced during 1938 and continued until shortly after the conclusion of hostilities (a copy of the defence scheme for Prince Rupert published in August 1943 by the defence commander listed more than 25 unit addresses). The Fort at Barret Point is on the Southwest tip of Kaien Island. The property on which it is sited is under the administrative control of the Port Authority. The Fort at Frederick Point on Digby Island is on Provincial Land and has a department of Agriculture Reserve on it. In spite of having been abandoned for over 60 years, these installments are in remarkably good condition, although the forest has taken over to a substantial degree. Because of easier access, Barret Fort has suffered more damage from vandalism than has Frederick Point, in either case initial remediation is more of a pick and shovel
job than a high technology one. Once again I am running out of time, publishing space and probably editorial fatigue! In this letter I have attempted to describe briefly some of the major facilities to which tourist interest could be attributed and to suggest that their successes in this regard could be linked to the strengths of their supporting institutions. I also identify two facilities that might benefit from a strengthening or creation of, support structures which, in one case, should result in a lessening of the demands on City resources, and the other, could result in the reclaiming of what should have been a national site. In my third and hopefully final epistle, I plan to describe how a small group of us have been trying to address the latter of these two challenges and difficulties we have encountered.

Editor: Maybe Gary should start earning his money as a MLA. Firstly, he states that the B.C. Liberal party misled the B.C. taxpayers in the last provincial election over the HST. What? Darrell Dexter and the NDP in Nova Scotia made a campaign promise that if elected government, there would zero tax increases. What happens? The taxpayers elected a NDP provincial government and the NDP raise the HST from 13 per cent to l5 per cent making it the highest HST in all of Canada. I believe the NDP misled the taxpayers in the election campaign. HST in New Brunswick is 13 per cent, Newfoundland and Labrador at 13 per cent, Ontario at 13 per cent, Nova Scotia at 15 per cent (thanks to the NDP), and B.C. at 12 per cent, which could be lower if the HST ballot passes to keep the HST. See HST, page 10

Rejecting HST because of how it was introduced “immature” Continued from page 8 In Quebec, taxpayers pay a purchase price, with 5 per cent GST added to the price for a subtotal, then 8.5 per cent QST (Quebec sales tax) added onto the subtotal for total price. Taxpayers pay tax on tax, that is HST on the GST. The rate of QST will go to 9.5 per cent on Jan 1, 2012. Quebec is currently in negotiations with the Federal Government to bring in the HST. The Federal Government will give Quebec $2.2 billion for adopting the HST and is said to be complete for September, 2011. This will make HST in Quebec at 14.5 per cent, still less than the NDP government of Nova Scotia. The taxpayers in Quebec just sit back, pay the taxes, and laugh at the taxpayers of B.C. that go out onto the street protesting like a third world nation. Bill VanderZalm’s petition of 557,383 taxpayer signatures protesting HST, not 700,000 as stated because of disqualified signatures, is peanuts in relation to the 14,800,000 taxpayers that have to pay HST in the other provinces. With Quebec, add another 7 million taxpayers. How come there is no public outcry from the other taxpayers that now pay HST. Next door in Alberta, the Premier is retiring and all candidates running for
going to collect taxes in some shape, form, seats. Also Darrell Dexter and the NDP, elected or another, but some governments are better government in 2009 in Nova Scotia have than others. Protesting the HST on the phrase “it was a poor report card with the taxpayers to date, and are said to be only a one term the way it was introduced to the taxpayer” government like that of Dave Barrett in is immature thinking to place your voting on. B.C. The HST vote is in the hands of the B.C. Gary always uses the phrase big business. What Gary forgets: It is big business that Taxpayers. They make the final decision, give B.C. taxpayers pay cheques every and remember that decision lies with the two weeks, not the NDP and Jim Sinclair provincial government, who ever governing and the B.C. Federation of Labour. Gary, party will be. Two key factors mentioned above are with all the taxpayers that now pay HST, along with Quebec to come, Alberta to “competitive” and “all governments are follow, with no public outcry, and no going to collect taxes in some shape, form, popularity in NDP in other provinces, the or another”. Joe Sawchuk, B.C. NDP party deserves to remain the Duncan, B.C. official opposition after the next provincial election. B.C. taxpayers have been married to the NDP three times. On their Call today and I will get third marriage to the taxpayers, they an ad working for you! won 39 seats, compared to 36 for the opposition, a nail biter. So coming into the next election, B.C. taxpayers have to ask themselves: Go back to the nightmares of a NDP government, similar like going back to a former spouse after a divorce or just sit still, Ed Evans 250-624-8088 relax, and play it safe. Sales Manager 225 Third St, Prince Rupert Admit it Gary, all governments are
the top job are talking about bringing in a PST. Albertan’s have never paid PST in their lives. They want to bring in PST, combine it with the GST to create HST. They say it is required if Alberta wants to remain competitive. (CTV, Edmonton, Feb 2, 2011) Isn’t that why HST came to B.C. and Ontario? Alberta, the richest province in Canada making tax changes. Gary, your claim of returning to the PST/ GST is only going to take B.C. to the back benches in Canada compared to the other provinces. But what do expect from the NDP anyway, they made B.C. into a have not province. Maybe the HST ballot should read, “Do you want your province of B.C. to remain competitive? Yes? No?” If a taxpayer answered no, then they would have to have their head examined. Gary says that Adrian Dix will be the next premier of B.C. How so? Saskatchewan and Manitoba are having provincial elections later this year. The Saskatchewan party, present government of Saskatchewan, has a 37 point lead in the polls over the NDP opposition. Polling in Manitoba shows that 54 per cent of Manitoba taxpayers will be voting for the Progressive Conservative party to form government and put the present NDP government into the opposition

◆ NORTHERN GATEWAY PIPELINE
City council to register as intervenor in Enbridge review By Monica Lamb-Yorski The Northern View After hearing from Marty Bowles on behalf of the Prince Rupert Environmental Society, Prince Rupert City Council has agreed to apply to register as an intervenor for the Enbridge Northern Gateway Project’s Joint Review Panel Process. With its registration for the status, the council will state that a clean marine environment is important to the City’s economy. “The reason that they want specific governments to participate, at any level of government, is because it allows them to decide where they’re going to have the hearings,” Bowles told council. According to Bowles, at the open house the Joint Review Panel held in Prince Rupert in June, one of the points made was that if a municipal government is not going to vent anything, it’s less likely that a hearing will be held there. As an intervenor, the City will be a full participant, a party to the process, and can intervene as a group. The deadline for registration is July 14. “Anyone with intervenor status would have to travel elsewhere in order to participate,” Bowles said,. “You don’t have to even stand up and speak. You can submit written presentations or send it in by e-mail. There are lots of options.” Councillor Joy Thorkelson, who has
applied for intervenor status on behalf of Garon and Gordon-Payne. While willingness members, Mayor Mussallem broke the tie, the United Fishermen and Allied Workers to do so was only favoured by three council voting in favour of registering. Union, made a motion that Council also apply. “This City Council has not FOR PROPERTY INQUIRIES IN THE PRINCE RUPERT AREA taken a stand on whether we AND ON HAIDA GWAII should have oil tankers or a 1507 11th Ave 639 Pillsbury Ave 927 Ambrose Ave 1304 Omineca Ave pipeline, but surely we can speak with a unanimous voice that creating a clean marine environment is important to $245,500 $209,000 $158,000 $199,000 our economy,” she said. Mayor Jack Mussallem 701 5th Ave W 1000 Hays Cove Ave 419 5th Ave E 1605 Omineca Ave responded that council has not participated, except in terms of information gathering, but has been waiting for the process $150,000 $139,000 $112,500 $180,000 to unfold before it says yes or 40717 Hwy 16 Tlell 32 Jasper St 1083 - 1805 657900 Hwy 16 no.

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 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? Yes. The signals are low level frequency, meeting and exceeding 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.

The hope is that the exhibition will eventually go on tour across the country, and help persuade younger members of the Haida First Nation to make a serious effort to reinvigorate an otherwise dying language.

of the language improved, but so did her understanding of what is still causing the language to die out. “After working on this book it became so much clearer what had happened in our history. It wasn’t just an intellectual understanding anymore. I don’t mean to sound rude, but it became apparent how much of Canada’s colonial regime is still alive today,� says Collison. Collison, the museum and Fara Nosh the photographer have come together to create an exhibition on the Haida language which will be premiering at the Museum in Skidegate on July 29. in the days when speaking it was actively discouraged. “These are the people who were raised being told through colonization that being Haida wasn’t good, that speaking your language was bad - being made to feel second-class. But we’re not second-class, we’re first-class, and that’s how these people need to be celebrated,� says Collison. Also in the book are explanations of the three different dialects and some simple starting material for those looking to learn it. Collison says she only knew a few words when she first started work on her book, but as she worked on it her understanding photographer, Farah Nosh, began taking portraits of the last fluent speakers of the Haida language, of which there are less than 40 and they are all over 75-years-old. “I was working on a book called Raven Travelling with an editor, and we talked about how important the Haida language was and he was the one said we should really do a book. And I said ‘really? Do you think anyone would care?’ And he said ‘Yes, people will care,’� says Collison. Collison began working on a book containing biographies on the surviving fluent speakers along with stories about their relationship with the language back

◆ A VOCAL BIRD
A new dove joins the North Coast mix of bird species By Monica Lamb-Yorski The Northern View Over the last few months in Prince Rupert it’s been common to hear a dove that’s cooing early in the mornings or at dusk. This particular bird sound is described as a three- note koo-KOO-kook. According to Reto Riesen, a professor at Northwest Community College in Prince Rupert, the bird in question is a Eurasian Collared Dove. “They’ve been on the North Coast about three or four years,” Riesen said. “The first one I heard about was in
Kincolith, and there were some records of sightings in Terrace. Then last year someone recorded one in Prince Rupert.” Eurasian Collared Doves have been moving across North America rapidly, after being introduced to the Bahamas in the 1970s. A blog titled Project Bird Feeder Watch suggests “no species of bird has colonized North America at the speed with which the Eurasian Collared-Dove (Streptopelia decaocto) has marched across the continent. First found nesting just south of Miami, Florida, in 1982, this non-native dove has rapidly adapted to human-altered environments from Florida to Alaska.”
Riesen said the dove is similar to the Rock Pigeon. Nodding a yes, he explained that the experts switch back and forth from using the name dove or pigeon. Some locals may have mistaken the new dove sounds to that of an owl, but when it comes to owls in and around Prince Rupert, Riesen said they are rarely heard during the day. The owls he has identified locally are the sowet, barred and pygmy. People can find the pygmy owl just off Kaien Island. “You don’t have to travel far. When they were doing the environmental survey for the port expansion, a great horned owl was identified,” he added.

◆ HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS
Coons, NDP raise concerns over Ferries CEO’s pension By Alan S. Hale The Northern View MLA Gary Coons, along with the leader of the provincial NDP Adrian Dix, sent a letter to the Premier’s office protesting a decision by BC Ferries to give outgoing CEO David Hahn an extra $237,000 pension on top of his regular public sector pension of $77,580. This means that Hahn will be receiving a yearly pension in excess of $300,000 after working at BC Ferries for 10 years, something that Coons believes is “totally outrageous and uncalled for”.
Now that Hahn is getting almost an extra quarter-million dollars a year added to his pension after arguing that BC Ferries was so strapped for cash that it needed to double its northern fares, Coons and the rest of the NDP are up-inarms. “I think that British Columbians should see this as scandalous that the current government under Christy Clark would endorse this... [Hahn] will be entitled to this pension

for life, and ferry user’s and tax payers will be paying for this for a long time,” says Coons. Revelations about increased pension for a man who is already the province’s highest paid public employee, Hahn made over $1.1-million last year in pay and bonuses, are coming after the government steadfastly refused to
consider a pay raise for teachers. In response Coons and party leader, Adrian Dix, sent a letter to the premier demanding a review of the pension being offered to Hahn. “During the BC Liberal leadership campaign, you remarked that it was inappropriate for Mr. Hahn to consider hiking ferry fares while he and other Executives at
BC Ferries enjoyed exorbitant compensation packages full of public dollars. On that note, I anticipate you will follow through on our request,” reads the letter. When this article had to press, the premier’s office had not made any response to the letter and the transport ministry could not be reached for comment.

◆ POINT HENRY REPLACEMENT
MORE PAINTING THE TOWN…
New vessel gets named By Martina Perry The Northern View Keith Ashfield, the Minister of Fisheries and Oceans, recently presented new Coast Guard vessels to the Province’s Canadian Coast Guard fleets, with one of the new vessels replacing Prince Rupert’s current ship the Point Henry. The CCGS Cape Dauphin will be Prince Rupert’s new vessel and will be officially named and dedicated at a ceremony held in town later this month. “These new vessels are a great addition to the Coast Guard fleet and are being used extensively for search and rescue operations throughout Canada. The enhanced capabilities of the vessels is now considered the service standard for coastal inshore operations in the Pacific region,” explained Ashfield
in a press release. The new vessels were funded under a $19.6 million contract under Canada’s Economic Action Plan and were built by the Victoria Shipyard Co. Ltd. The ships have been designed to safely operate in maximum storm conditions with a continuous wind speed of up to 80 knots and associated seas of up to 12 meters. To help ensure safer operations in rough conditions, the vessels are self-bailing and selfrighting. Other new vessels constructed under the same contract will be delivered to Ontario and Quebec, as well as another vessel being named and dedicated at a ceremony in Campbell River at the end of last month. Look in future Prince Rupert Northern View issues for details on the ceremony and the vessel.

◆ PROVIDING FEEDBACK
Public meeting on City’s annual report set for July 25 By Monica Lamb-Yorski The Northern View Citizens interested in the state of Prince Rupert’s finances are encouraged to read the City’s recently released 2010 Annual Report and financial statements. A follow-up public information meeting on the reports will take place at the next council meeting on July 25.
At its June 27 meeting council approved the circulation of the reports. They are available on the City’s website or by paper copies at customer service in City Hall and at the Prince Rupert Library. “It is the practice of school districts and municipalities to attach their financial statements and other required schedules to the annual report,” said the City’s Chief Financial Officer Dan Rodin.
Those required schedules include listing the remuneration and expenses of all elected officials, salaries and expenses for employees earning $75,000 or more, and payments of $25,000 and more by the City to all vendors. In 2010, Mayor Jack Mussallem received remuneration and taxable benefits of $38,755, plus reimbursement of expenses worth $12,527. All six City Councillors received $12,026 for remuneration and taxable benefits, while Councillor Garon incurred the most expenses at $4,546 and Sheila Gordon-Payne the least expenses at $1,946. Under the list of salaries over $75,000, City Manager Gordon Howie earned $144,368 in remuneration and taxable benefits and $17,188 in expenses, while Rodin came in second, earning $131,765 in remuneration and taxable benefits and $10,354 for expenses. For goods and services over $25,000, the higher ticket items were $2,644,100 to the Receiver General for the RCMP contract, $1,163,778 to Manufacturers Life Insurance Co. Only Councillors Anna RV213 Ashley and Sheila GordonPayne made comments about the financial statements. Councillor Ashley said she had concerns about wages going up and how many people are earning over $75,000. “I know that one of the key issues is that we have an aging workforce, with members that have been around for a lot of years, and are at top of the pay scale. What I would like to see us do and perhaps deal with,

is to have a discussion about what we can do with this. To look at what sort of policies we might be able do as a council to try and address the issues,” Councillor Ashley said. She suggested things like early retirement incentives, looking at training of new employees to replace people as they retire, and seeking input from the existing workforce for ways of trying to plan for the future to maximize the benefits and cut costs. Councillor Sheila Gordon-Payne wondered about the $272,740 paid to CityWest listed in the Schedule of Suppliers of Goods and Services. “I’m wondering if there’s any chance for us to get any kind of break from our company. It would help with our dividend,” Councillor Gordon-Payne said, referring to the fact that CityWest was unable to pay a dividend to the City for 2010. For 2011, the company has paid a dividend of $1,000,000 and Gordon-Payne said she was a bit reluctant to air it, but wanted to point out that a quarter of that is being paid back for goods and services. Rodin told council the relationship between the City and CityWest is one of corporation and shareholder, but when it comes to transactions, they are at market rate. “We charge them for servicing their vehicles and we charge the same rate that we charge internally. If we were to go below market then that would jeopardize the integrity of the current relationship we have, which is priced at market,” Rodin said. Mayor Jack Mussallem responded perhaps Councillor Gordon-Payne was looking at having the City draw up some sort of contract. City Manager Gordon Howie said staff would put together a report in response to her request. “I raise it because I wondered if there’s any play room with it because it’s a significant bill,” Gordon-Payne said.

We would like to thank the staff from the Hecate Strait Employment Development Society for their decision to spend their weekend away from work volunteering to paint our building. Sharon from Rona and Glen Saunders of “Paint Prince Rupert Project” were able to pick the colour, which someone had to do, so we are very thankful for that as well. I must also acknowledge Bob Niesh for helping get the building ready for painting. Grinding steel doors is not an easy nor pleasant task.

In loving memory of Jessie Marlene Suhr
as a priority area for a number of organizations, such as The City of Prince Rupert, Community Futures of the Pacific Northwest and other key partners in the Cruise Ship Task Force, Communities in Bloom was an easy initiative to approve this year. Since 2008, the Communities in Bloom Committee has been reviewing the judges recommendations and compiling information on all the projects and initiatives that have since took place to address some of the recommendations. The committee has been spreading the word that Communities in Bloom is not just about plants, it is about working together to beautify our own backyards, neighbourhoods, businesses and public spaces while enhancing community and business involvement while acknowledging and celebrating all the aspects about our community and its people that make it unique. “Communities in Bloom is not about creating new initiatives, rather it’s about showcasing what we do well as a ◆ community,” said Decker. Today, the Communities in Bloom Committee includes a number of representatives from groups such as “Paint it Forward”, Civic Pride, The Prince Rupert Arts Council, The
Heritage Committee, The Green Task Force, Community Futures, WWF, Northwest Community College Indigenous Garden, The Sunken Garden Committee, Tourism Prince Rupert, The Prince Rupert/Port Edward Economic Development Commission, School District #52, City of Prince Rupert Public Works, as well as individual community members. These people volunteering to ensure Prince Rupert is successful with Communities in Bloom have been keeping themselves busy. “We are hoping they will notice the fresh face that is being put on the community through paint and pressure washing as well as the fun, cultural and heritage elements that have been added to Cruise Ship Night as a result of the Cruise Ship Task Force wanting to tell the Prince Rupert Story,” said Decker, mentioning the interpretation stations, changes to the ambassador program, First Nations Arts elements, the Waterfront Market and the Buskers Program. “The committee thinks we’ve
improved vastly since 2008 and we are sure the Judges will see those improvements too.” Currently, the group is creating a community profile book that the judges receive, as well as finalizing the judge’s tour for next week. The Judge’s Reception will be happening on July 20, 2011 with the community being showcased to them the following day. Decker is asking people to help out by partaking in a Civic Pride Clean-up happening on July 19 from seven to nine p.m. with bags and gloves being given away at Mariner’s Park. Additionally, the Committee is looking for meal sponsors and transportation for the judges as well as a sponsor for the judge’s reception at the Museum of Northern BC. Anyone wishing to receive further information about how to get involved or how to sponsor the Judge’s reception or one of the meals are encouraged to contact Treena Decker at Community Futures of the Pacific Northwest 250-622-2332 ext.23
LACK OF MONITORING
Report: Environmental assessments flawed By Jeff Nagel Black Press

B.C.’s environmental assessment process is failing to properly oversee certified major projects or ensure that promised work to make up for damage to the environment is actually carried out. That’s the finding of B.C. Auditor General John Doyle, whose newly released audit plants a big red flag over monitoring work done by the B.C. Environmental Assessment Office (EAO). “Adequate monitoring is not occurring and follow-up evaluations are not being conducted,” Doyle said in the audit, adding that means the EAO can’t guarantee that requirements to mitigate damage are working. The audit includes a series of recommendations intended to strengthen the process. Environmental groups say the findings show the assessment process is simply a rubber stamp for industry. “We’ve been worried for a long time about the lack of environmental oversight in this province,” Sierra Club BC executive director George Heyman said. “This report confirms that the situation is worse than we suspected.” Premier Christy Clark recently criticized the federal government’s decision to reject the Fish Lake mine
proposal, saying that B.C. has a strong environmental assessment regime and the contentious Prosperity mine should proceed. The B.C. EAO had issued an environmental certificate for the mine near Williams Lake that was later overturned by Ottawa on grounds the mine would harm fish and wildlife habitat and infringe First Nations rights. Heyman said the findings undercut Clark’s claim. “How can British Columbians trust the process that is intended to ensure that our fish, water, wildlife and human health are adequately protected?” he asked. NDP environment critic Rob Fleming called it a damning report that shows government cuts to monitoring and enforcement have left proponents self-reporting on their own work. “Standards are utterly meaningless without monitoring and enforcement,” he said. The report also noted the EAO doesn’t formally track certified project conditions and commitments for compliance and lacks mechanisms for enforcement. Of 219 projects that have entered the environmental assessment process since 2005, 115 have been approved and 15 were determined to not require assessment while just one was refused certification and 16 others were terminated or withdrawn. 72 projects are still under review.

Terry passed away after a long fight with lung cancer and Lynn lost her fight with dementia. Lynn and Terry lived in the Northwest both in Prince Rupert and Telkwa.
