Showing the importance of Canada’s Asia-Pacific Gateway, the BC Government announced last week that Chinese buyers purchased $122 million worth of B.C. lumber in May, surpassing the value of lumber shipments to the United States for the first time ever. A record monthly volume of 746,000 cubic metres of lumber was shipped to China in May, according to figures released Sunday by the B.C. government. In the first five months of 2011, 2.8 million cubic metres of lumber have gone to China, more than double the same period last year based on value as well as volume.

Rail companies in the US accuse CN of “poachingâ€? export traffic through Rupert By Alan S. Hale The Northern View Fairview Terminal in Prince Rupert may be causing ports on the west coast of the US to lose large portions of their export traffic to Asia. According to one reputable industry journal, this has caused some of the US railroad companies to accuse CN Rail of “poachingâ€? their business by offering quicker transportation across the Pacific ocean via Fairview Terminal. The shipping industry magazine The Journal of Commerce (www.joc.com) reported this month that exports from the cargo port in Seattle plummeted 27.8 per cent in May alone. The port in Tacoma, Washington also saw its exports fall 15.2 per cent. This is part of a much larger decline in traffic for west coast ports in the United States that has been going on for the past year. The decline has been so bad that Seattle and Tacoma ports are now doing less business than they did a year ago when the recession was going stronger than it is now. Contrast that with Fairview Terminal in Prince Rupert which saw its export traffic nearly double since last year. With the Phase II expansion on the way and a new intermodal yard being planned in Chicago to coincide with Phase II that would move 1-million containers to and from Prince Rupert, VINTAGE VEHICLES‌ it looks like the city will continue to rise. According to the
Journal, all this has caused American railroad companies to accuse CN Rail – the company that actually uses the Prince Rupert port – of “poaching� cargo traffic from American companies and ports. The Prince Rupert Northern View made several attempts to get a comment about these accusations from the Union Pacific and BNSF railway companies, but neither company responded to these requests. “It makes it sound illegal to provide a rail service,� CN’s assistant vice president of intermodal sales, Mark Lerner told the Journal of Commerce. “CN services are priced competitively.� Lerner went on to explain that one of the reasons that CN’s operations in the north-western United States is because of the connection to Prince Rupert’s Fairview Terminals. When asked to elaborate, CN Rail representatives had this to say: “Certainly, major factors in CN’s strong performance include the strategic advantages of the Port of Prince Rupert, the reach of CN’s North American rail network, CN’s superior transit times, and the company’s improved interface with all ocean terminals through supply chain collaboration and level of service agreements...CN has experienced good volumes of container traffic over the Port of Prince Rupert, as well as Port Metro Vancouver.�

Government can do nothing about Hahn pension By Jeff Nagel Black Press The province won’t rip up the deal that promises BC Ferries CEO David Hahn a $315,000-a-year pension even though Premier Christy Clark has condemned it as far too rich. Transportation Minister Blair Lekstrom said Wednesday he was not previously aware of the arrangement but breaking it would be very costly. “I’m not prepared to stand up and break a contract,” Lekstrom said, adding a “contract is a contract” whether it involves unionized labour or a high-profile CEO. The comment was a reference to when Lekstrom stood on principle and voted against the BC Liberal government’s 2002 decision to tear up health sector contracts to privatize hospital support staff – a move
ultimately overturned by the Supreme Court of Canada, which ordered the province to pay compensation and strengthened collective bargaining rights. “I recognize the concern of the general public out there when we see these kinds of numbers,” Lekstrom said. “I did not know these were the numbers in the contract.” He said government policy now limits future pay and pensions for BC Ferries executives to what is allowed in the public sector, but Hahn’s arrangement is grandfathered in. Clark had called Hahn’s pension as “way, way too big.” But BC Ferries board chair Donald Hayes said the legislature confirmed the pay and pension provisions in 2010 when the government amended the Coastal Ferry

Act. Hayes said in a statement the compensation package for Hahn was negotiated in 2006 at private sector rates in part to retain him in light of possible competing offers from other large private-sector firms.
Hahn’s base salary of $500,000 is topped up with a bonus and other benefits, pushing his annual pay to more than $1 million for 2011. For the union’s reaction to David Hahn’s pension, see page five.

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.

◆ HIGHWAY 16
Additional signage and lighting at turn to Industrial Site By Monica Lamb-Yorski The Northern View The Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure will be installing additional signage and more lighting at the turnoff from Highway 16 to Prince Rupert’s Industrial Park. It’s a move that comes after the ministry heard concerns in January from Prince Rupert City Council about the increased number of logging trucks using the turnoff. According to the Ministry, the accident frequency is really low at the site. So far there’s only been one accident involving property damage further down the highway from the turnoff, but after hearing from the City, the Ministry decided to review the existing signage. “In our view it didn’t warrant reconstruction of the turnoff to widen it, but we decided to add additional signage for traffic coming westbound. The new sign will say trucks turning wide, with a tab at the bottom that says do not pass on the right,” said Skeena District Manager Don Ramsay. When asked if people are frequently attempting to pass on the right, Ramsay indicated it’s not a common problem, but sometimes people need to be reminded it’s not a safe thing to do, even though it’s tempting when a truck pulls out a little to the left. Councillor Kathy Bedard, who lives in
Port Edward and commutes every day to work, initially raised concerns about the turnoff and asked City staff to contact the Ministry. After hearing about the new signage and lighting, she said anything is better than nothing, but she remains concerned. “It’s been such a struggle to get an understanding of how dangerous it is. You have to be actually there. They say the traffic pattern is fine, but it’s not fine. Telling people to slow down doesn’t necessarily stop the people wanting to pass. There’s not a lot of room to swing out and pass one of these trucks and that’s what’s happening,” said Bedard. One of her suggestions was that the highway be widened on the mountain Martina Perry photo side, where there’s enough room to put in an extra lane. She feels the expansion The Ministry of Transportation and would help to get away from the Infrastructure will be installing addicongestion occurring there by providing tional signage and more lighting at the turnoff from Highway 16 to Prince an extra lane for eastbound traffic.

Union angry over Hahn pension By Alan S. Hale The Northern View
union’s calculations it would only take $70,000 a year to give these employees their own pensions, 22 per cent of what the board decided to let Hahn collect from the company every year. Union president, Richard Goode says he would like to see the company reward its employees for the success of BC Ferries instead of giving a large end-of-career bonus to one executive. “We recognize the value that our members provide to the overall success of BCFS and so should the Company and the Board. The best way to show that appreciation would be providing a fair wage increase and pension to all unionized employees” says Goode
The BC Ferry and Marine Worker’s Union (BCFMWU) which represents the employees of BC Ferries, including those operating out of the Prince Rupert Harbour, is angry about the controversial pension for outgoing CEO David Hahn. The union says that its unacceptable that Hahn would be given an bonus pension of over $200,000 a year while the workers for the company – which the union argues are just as responsible for the success of BC Ferries – get nothing. “Board Chair, Donald Hayes, while justifying Hahn’s compensation and pension among other points, quotes an increase In addition to Keith’s Summer Special in customer satisfaction survey results.

OPINION
MY VIEW…
It’s time to end the asbestos trade... This past week at Rotary, MP Nathan Cullen came to speak to the club and one of the topics he touched on was asbestos, and more to the point how despicable it is that Canadian organizations and companies are spending millions of dollars to get the hazardous material out of company and government buildings while the country continues to ship it to developing countries like India. It’s not the first time the subject has been brought up, but it is something that has always bothered me. I have friend whose father passed away in his early 50s as a result of lung cancer related to working in a facility that included a high amount of asbestos, and I know more people who have friends and family fighting for their lives because of the work done in asbestos ridden workplaces. Asbestos is a known human carcinogen - it causes cancer - and it is something that people in Canada wouldn’t touch with a 10foot pole. Let’s face it, if someone were interviewed for a job and told that they would be working directly with asbestos with minimal protective health measures, they’d probably say thanks but no thanks. If people were told their children would be going into a newer school or a day care with asbestos in it they would look to put their children somewhere else. Asbestos is not something Canadians are willing to accept due to the health concerns associated with it. And yet we’re fine with sending the material out to other
countries so that fathers and mothers and sons and daughters can be exposed to cancer-inducing material. Do yourself a favour and Google “asbestos Daily Show” and watch the video of the Daily Show segment on asbestos production in Quebec (beware, mature content). I first saw it
in May and it certainly didn’t make me proud of my country, and watching it again that is still certainly the case. Canada, as I see it, is a caring country. Putting others in the world at risk of death for a few jobs is certainly not something we should continue to do.

Tourism has prevailed through a century of growth Tourism is a cornerstone of Prince Rupert. The Museum and Archives both have ample collections of Grand Trunk Pacific Railway promotional material. Granted, much of what came out of the GTPR marketing, particularly that generated by American journalist Cy Warman, was designed as much to boost investment as to attract visitors. And while it must be said that the Grand Trunk Pacific never had the focused marketing of the Canadian Pacific, their corporate style was to slavishly reproduce the success of CP – whose Van Horne famously commented, “If we can’t export the scenery, we will import the tourists.” With railways the journey itself was always paramount. Prince Rupert was a stop in a journey managed by the railway. All along their lines they built increasingly palatial hotels to give them a competitive advantage (although here the hotel plans were just drawn up to trick investors and government into thinking that the GTPR actually intended to fulfill contractual obligations). And from the very beginning, the railways recognized the powerful link between rail and sea, launching

One growth of tourism was linked BRUCE WISHART of the most brilliant, effective to growing automobile marketing moves in BC tourism traffic, and the provincial history, inexpensive subscription government was still unwilling to link Prince Rupert by highway rates drove this lavish magazine around the with the rest of the province. Yet, despite the globe, offering some of the earliest promotion founding of a Convention & Visitors’ Bureau of heartlands communities such as Prince in the 1930s, Prince Rupert didn’t try to be Rupert. more than a stopping point. C.L. Lockert, a The result of all this was that by 1982 some retired Tennessee professor who visited in 200,000 non-resident vehicles were passing July 1950, lamented the lack of publicity for through Prince Rupert annually. Most early this “scenic capital of America.” tourism businesses here were established just Word of mouth, and outside effort, to capitalize on existing traffic; it wasn’t until brought steady growth in tourism volumes. the 1990s that we began to think differently. Rupert’s reliance upon travel writers began The harsh truth is that we needed it rubbed early. One example I happen to have close in our faces. The value of tourism simply
wasn’t recognized by any but a few local visionaries. A single example of Rupert’s attitude was provided at the beginning of August 1984, when the scheduled visit of the cruise ship Universe was bumped from Ocean Dock by a log ship, one moment in a cycle of apathy that removed us from the Alaska cruise theatre. Once we focused on tourism, we were able to quickly steer the passing traffic into local activities, and finally make Prince Rupert a destination in itself, instead of a stop along the way. My point in all this is that tourism has always been with us in Prince Rupert, and it’s not going anywhere. Tourism has slumped with each economic challenge faced by British Columbia; it has also, historically, been the first industry to recover. It remains the province’s fastest-growing industry despite the fluctuations. It grew even when we ignored it, grew much faster when it caught our attention, and given what we have to offer there is no telling what it might grow to if we continue to invest with each passing year.

Editor’s note: The following was received as an open letter to last week’s letter writer. Dear Joe, In response to your letter in last weeks paper...Yes Joe, the BC Liberals did purposely mislead and deceive the public and the taxpayers in the last election over the HST. And Joe, if you had done your homework you would have found out that the sales tax actually dropped significantly in the Maritime Provinces when the HST came in - Newfoundland and Labrador’s tax went from a combined tax of 19 per cent to 15 per cent to 13 per cent and Nova Scotia and New Brunswick went from 18.7 per cent to 15 per cent to 13 per cent. So, as you see Joe, the HST was a significant tax cut for those families in the Maritimes, not a painful and deceitful increase added to hundreds of goods and services. The BC Liberal plan is to shift 1.8 billion dollars onto families. Former BC Liberal Finance Minster Carole Taylor rejected the HST because the “tax takes $1.8 billion off of businesses and puts it on consumers”. Now Joe, you referred to Quebec and if you had done some more research you would have learned that Quebec’s HST, brought in over two decades ago, is totally different and bears little resemblance to the HST scheme that the BC Liberals are trying to sneak in. Quebec’s HST does not exempt large

Pillsbury House lessee discusses operations and plans
AT YOUR SERVICE
Editor: I am the “person” who leases Pillsbury House and I would like to politely address the gentleman who wrote a recent letter to the editor. Mr Hill....I’m not sure I’ve had the pleasure...... I did not completely get his meaning re: Pillsbury House. It is most certainly up to the city and the heritage committee to debate the status of the house in this economy and not me. I cannot speak for them. Hopefully they will address this letter from Mr Hill. I lease the premises, I pay to rent and I pay to cover the overhead. My presence here has assured the survival of the house for 15 years. Although I have no proof, it has been suggested that when rescued by the heritage committee and myself the home was being allowed to deteriorate in the view that it could be eliminated, as the property was
coveted for commercial ventures. I can’t decipher what was meant in this writer’s statements . As far as this being an informal B&B yes it is. The most basic original encyclopaedia description of a B&B is a room in a private home.... may or may not share bathroom.... breakfast served at the family table. It more than satisfies this definition. It is legitimate and meets all necessary requirements. I maintain 2 business permits, I also accept Visa and Master Card, I have wireless internet service, my phone listing is business. I have Serving it Right and Superhost certificates. I am bilingual and answer my phone with business salutation day or night. Other than rent received, the heritage committee does rely strictly on donations and grants and there is no cost to the city for the
operation of the house. I am a gifted entertainer [see busker /interpreter cruise ship Thursday]. I entertain my guests. I open my home to the public on a reasonable basis as per agreement with Heritage Committee.. Two conditions the heritage committee was requiring of a tenant were that the person live on the premises as well as operate business. I have fulfilled these . The heritage committee is having the house professionally painted this year as well as the main bathroom restoration in the fall the other bathroom is up to date. I am grateful to be here I do my best to keep the operation of the businesses as professional as possible while also living my private life. I believe it has been a good mutual arrangement. The house is in need of repair but I more
than balanced that off as I serve a very formal, classy [yet charmingly informal] breakfast which makes it unique and unforgettable for the visitors. I am willing to remain until such time as what is deemed “a preferable arrangement” is arrived at by the powers that be and their finances. As for now all I can say is the guests of the B&B are very happy with their stay and in turn with Prince Rupert. I feel that if I could publish the guest book comments, the folks of Prince Rupert would beam with pride at the job done here for us all. I even am in touch with an original Pillsbury family member. Here is a random selection of recent guest remarks; From Japan....Really enjoyed staying in this house and sharing your marvelous stories. From Redding California ....Colleen

we enjoyed all your stories about Prince Rupert I am so grateful to have this opportunity to stay in such a historic place. It was so comfortable here just like staying with a favorite aunt.

Reading my guest book restores my sense of pride and worthiness to be here. The time has not yet come for me to leave but when it does I will happily oblige as per our understanding, meanwhile this venue brings something very special to Prince Rupert. Many have stated that when it is transformed it will have lost it’s genuine charm.... With love Colleen McLaren [ host ] Pillsbury House

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 digital meter that records the amount of power you use. It helps improve the efďŹ ciency of the power grid, means less wasted electricity and gets BC ready for future power needs. What are the beneďŹ ts 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 ďŹ res, 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.

Prince Rupert school district being sued by former student By Martina Perry The Northern View Last month, the B.C. Supreme Court rejected an order made by the School Protection Program’s lawyer to have a former student’s sexual assault by a teacher claim against an educator in School District 52 heard by a judge only, instead of a jury.
The case in subject is surrounding ex-special needs teacher and athletic coach, Michael Kolesar, who plead guilty in criminal court of sexually assaulting a former special needs student, as well as another female student. The special needs student, who is now the plaintiff in the case, has sued Kolesar and the school board for damages caused by the

Catch the iconic Canadian Forces Snowbirds as they bring their exciting aerial demonstration to Prince Rupert on August 4 at 6 p.m. A community celebration, including food, entertainment, exhibits and more, will start at Rotary Waterfront Park at 3 p.m.
Prince Rupert and the Asia - Pacific Gateway will remain a key part of Canada’s economic growth, according to Minister of International Trade and Minister for the Asia-Pacific Gateway Ed Fast. “China is now the world’s second-largest economy after the United States. Therefore, it is important that we further develop our trading relationship with China to create opportunities for Canadians,� said Minister Fast, noting that China is Canada’s second-largest merchandise trading partner and that trade value reached $57.7 billion
in 2010. Fast made the comments following a roundtable discussing the business opportunities that exist between Canada and China, which included Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Fisheries and Oceans and Parliamentary Secretary for the AsiaPacific Gateway Randy Kamp and Yuen Pau Woo, President and CEO of the Asia Pacific Foundation of Canada. “Minister Fast had a very constructive exchange with business leaders on growing trade ties with China and other Asian countries...He is committed to a deeper and broader relationship with the region, and is clearly interested in feedback and suggestions from stakeholders,� said Woo.

The City of Terrace has decided to register for intervenor status with the Enbridge Northern Gateway pipelines project review panel, and has also chosen the right to provide a final argument, Council agreed unanimously to the idea at a meeting at city hall last week. Missing from the meeting were mayor Dave Pernarowski and councillors Carol Leclerc and Lynne Christiansen. Council had three options to choose from: register to be an intervenor; register as an intervenor and provide a final argument; register as an intervenor, provide a final argument and provide evidence. Registering as an intervenor means that the city would receive notices as each document is filed with the joint review panel; this option allows the city to be informed without having to provide an opinion. The second option â&#x20AC;&#x201C; registering to be an intervenor and to reserve the right to provide final verbal or written argument â&#x20AC;&#x201C; gives the city a chance to make a final argument in the future if it wants, but also gives it the chance to decline the final argument. The third option, which includes providing evidence, would most likely require legal advice. Councillor Bruce Bidgood suggested the second option, with councillor Bruce Martindale seconding it.

PRINCE RUPERT - Dog owners in Prince Rupert are being reminded that dogs need to be on a leash and picked up after when on public property. For the last couple of weeks, the bylaw office has been issuing warnings to dog owners, especially along the waterfront between Kwinitsa Station and Cow Bay. Rusted bolts on the â&#x20AC;&#x153;leash and pick-up after your dog signsâ&#x20AC;? at the top of George Hills Way and down at Rotary Park suggest theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been there for a while. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We started getting lots of complaints about people not picking up after their dogs and about people letting their dogs run loose,â&#x20AC;? the mayor said Monday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know if they are going to get nipped. The warnings are a reminder to continual offenders who will let their dogs run along, even when people are walking with young children. But of greater concern is the fact that people need to pick up after their dogs.â&#x20AC;? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a matter of reminding people to be more conscientious, he added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;85 per cent are okay, ten percent need nudging, and five percent donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;tâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; care.â&#x20AC;? onday afternoon, the sun was out, and many people were down at the waterfront walking their dogs. Some had their dogs on leashes, others didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. A quick survey of dog owners suggested that most are conscientious and many would like to see a dog park.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;MY ACCOUNTâ&#x20AC;? at www.citywest.ca
Ann Whittles, who was walking her little dog, said a dog park in Rupert is something sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d love. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most of them are fenced, but you are supposed to pick up after your dog in there too,â&#x20AC;? Whittles said. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s talked with other dog owners and heard possible suggestions for a park in Prince Rupert are an old ball park that isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t being used near the Civic Centre or the large open area behind the skate park. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My daughter has two little dogs and lives up in Fort McMurray where they have a nice dog park. The dogs all get along fine, big dogs and little dogs, and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never seen an issue,â&#x20AC;? Whittles said. When it comes to using a leash, Whittles always uses one because she feels more comfortable. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know traffic,â&#x20AC;? she said of her dog. Walking with her two larger dogs, Lori Garland said she walks them along the waterfront every day and does pick up after them. When she heads south from Kwinitsa Station along the gravel road, like many other dog owners, she lets the dogs off the leash. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wish there was more of a beach area to take them. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard going over all these rocks. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only one little section and if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s too crowded I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take the dogs down there if there are kids and other dogs,â&#x20AC;? Garland said. She picks up after her dogs, and while she hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seen other dogs not being picked up after, she has certainly seen messes. For Dale Moore itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a matter of knowing your dog. He was walking with a small one

and a large one and the smaller one was on a leash. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She tries to protect this one,â&#x20AC;? Moore said of the littler dog. He comes down to the waterfront every day and has noticed that most people put their dogs on a leash to walk toward Cow Bay, but let the dogs off to walk the other way. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen people come down here with their dogs, pick up the poop, and hang the bags in the trees or leave it on the side of the road for someone else to pick up. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not right. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the point of picking up after your dog and then leaving it there,â&#x20AC;? Moore said. Many dog owners said theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve heard rumours that CN plans to block access to the waterfront, but CN communications manager Keli Svendson said in an email there were no plans to do that. She did say, however, that CN is clamping down on people trespassing on the tracks. Charles Tree has seen many people picking up after their dogs when heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s out walking with his two and when it comes to leashes, he makes sure to leash them when heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s walking downtown. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My dogs are well trained. They heal and they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t crap downtown, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been taught not to,â&#x20AC;? Tree said. A dog park would be great for Rupert, he agreed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are tons of people with dogs and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why they come down here. A dog park would be great, but then thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the same problem. Everyone needs to pick up after their dogs.â&#x20AC;?
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Given the fact that Terrace city council has articulated a position of wanting to be neutral, it would seem apropos for us to receive all the documents, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m thinking at some point in time we might actually develop an opinion after reviewing this information,â&#x20AC;? he said. Councillor Brian Downie pointed out that this might lead to council discussing its position for the fourth time in one term. Council has debated its stance to Enbridge multiple times this term and decided to remain neutral for the time being. Martndale said that the joint review panel process will probably be going on after the municipal elections this fall. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think it means we have to have a debate or a discussion,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even if weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going there, just to explain to them why weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve taken a neutral position. I think thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s responsible of us as a council, if it comes down to that, because thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what we need to be able to explain to people, the kind of discussions weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had and what that neutral position came from.â&#x20AC;? Bidgood said the city didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what information would come up over the course of the review, adding that this council will probably not be the ones to give the final opinion on the project. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think saying we want to reserve final arguments neither detracts nor proposes to support this particular initiative,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the right action.â&#x20AC;?

◆ A CONSTITUTIONAL QUESTION
Cullen says NDP ready to look at Indian Act overhaul By Alan S. Hale Black Press The federal NDP is ready to do an open up negotiations for complete overhaul on the Indian Act anytime that the Prime Minster is ready to begin, according to MP Nathan Cullen. Now that the head of a major Aboriginal organization has called on the government to do a dramatic reshaping of the relationship between Ottawa and First Nations, Cullen says the ball is in Stephen Harper’s court and he’s not optimistic that the Tories will be able to do the reforms right. “[Reforming the Indian Act] is dangerous, it’s difficult, its constitutional, it’s big, it’s got implications for our economy and our society so doing it right is paramount. But it’s always been
top-down, and I’ll be happy and surprised if this Prime Minster changes his approach and goes grassrootsup,” says Cullen. Cullen says that the NDP made an attempt at working with the Tories on reforming the Indian Act in 2006, according to Cullen the Conservatives expressed interest at first, but then nothing came of it. The hope is now that the Conservatives may feel confident enough with their majority status to take on an issue as complicated as creating a new relationship between First Nations and the Federal Government. Reforming the Indian Act in Ottawa has never been an easy

proposition. Written well over 100 years ago, several small changes have been made to the act as recently as the year 2000. But nothing as drastic as what National Chief of the Assembly of First Nation, MP Nathan Cullen Shaun Atleo, is calling for has ever happened before. Atleo called on Ottawa to form a “government-to-government” relationship with First Nations, which would mean much greater self determination on a variety of issues, which would include no longer being answerable to the Indian Affairs Minister. Atleo also called fore a committee for solving treaty disputes between the government and the First Nations that would be independent of the Indian Affairs Ministry, and for their own ombudsperson. “A true government-togovernment relationship is built on common respect and recognition that we see these nations existing in the united nation of Canada. It’s a buy-in [by First Nations], it would almost be like getting Quebec into the Constitution,” says Cullen. Many Canadian reserves

RCMP respond to threats from a man with a knife downtown By Cst. Laura Lechky Prince Rupert RCMP Sometime between five p.m. on July 5, 2011 and three a.m. on July 7, 2011, a grey 2009 grey GMC Sierra pick-up truck was broken into at the Alaska Ferries Terminal parking lot. Several mens clothing items were stolen as well as a blue Acer Aspire Laptop, with a Logitech mouse, dell laptop bag, and a Telus sierra wireless air card. A gold man’s wedding band and a silver and emerald graduation ring was also stolen from within the vehicle. Crime affects everyone in our town in different ways and now it appears that our tourists are being affected as well. This leaves a very sour thought of our community in some tourists mind when they become a victim of crime. One way to make this right is to assist in locating and returning the stolen articles. If you have any information regarding this theft please contact Cst. Muirhead of the Prince Rupert RCMP at 250-627-0700 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS. This is a reminder to not leave valuables in your vehicle, especially not in plain view and lock all your doors and windows when you exit your vehicle. On Tuesday, July 12, 2011, a black wallet was found close by the Highliner Inn and turned into the Prince Rupert RCMP. If this wallet could be yours, please contact Cst. Clamens at 250-627-0700. Be prepared to provided a detailed description of the wallet to claim it. On Friday, July 15, 2011, the Prince Rupert RCMP responded to a complaint of three males being threatened by a lone male with a knife in the 600 block of 5th Avenue
West. The lone male wanted to fight the complainant. The suspect was identified by the complainant and located a short distance away in his residence by police. The suspect refused police entry to the home. A warrant was obtained and executed, and the suspect surrendered after reading the warrant through an open window. The suspect was arrested and transported to the police detachment where he was later released on a Promise to Appear and Undertaking. The Prince Rupert RCMP bike patrol is back in action this summer and pounding the pavement looking for people consuming liquor in public places, minors in possession and minors consuming liquor in a public place, each violation carries a fine of $230.00. A person found intoxicated in a public place will also be issued a violation ticket that has a fine of $115.00. Along with the fine the liquor will either be seized or destroyed at the location. Police Officers will not only be looking for these types of violations but other criminal activity such as drug deals, selling of stolen items and suspicious occurrences. Feel free to flag down any of the police officers on bicycles to say “Hi” or point them in the direction of any incident you believe appears suspicious or criminal in nature. Please contact Prince Rupert RCMP at 250-624-2136 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800222-TIPS if you have any information on any crime. You can now also send an anonymous tip online at www.bccrimestoppers. com.
HERE’S WHAT YOU’VE MISSED
$1,490,738 during the month of June for research in the fight against prostate cancer. Funds raised from the June, 2011 campaign will support scientists and clinicians at the Vancouver Prostate Centre. This team of some of the brightest research minds in Canada has been studying the molecular and cellular events involved in the process whereby cancers become resistant to hormone withdrawal therapy of prostate cancer patients. They have found that a protein called the “androgen receptor” is critical for this type of treatment resistance and that by eliminating this protein they can cause many tumours to die. Recently, they have had an exciting breakthrough discovery of an entirely new class of drugs that can effectively inhibit, and in some cases, eliminate this protein. With the support of Prostate Cancer Canada and Safeway, they can continue to focus exclusively on further developing this promising research. On behalf of the research community, thank you for helping in the fight against prostate cancer.

Traditionally the gates for the festival have open later in the morning on Saturday and Sunday, but this year they open at 10 a.m on both Saturday and Sunday to accommodate the additional performers.

Seniors team takes Founder’s Cup title That was a great weekend for golf!! The Darren Clarke story, as winner of the British Open, is truly an example of a fine human being overcoming life’s setbacks to rise to the top. His love of life and enjoyment that he received through competing at the highest level were never more visible than at the Match Play event a few years back, when he met a rising Tiger Woods in the 36 hole final. After the morning round, Woods went to the practice area to work on his game, while Clarke retired to the clubhouse for a burger, a beverage and a cigar. Darren Clarke was always considered a contender, especially in Europe where he played most of his competitive golf, but his career was stalled as his wife fought cancer and there was a young family to watch over. When Clarke returned to the World scene shortly after his wife lost her battle, he played an inspired role in Europe winning the Ryder Cup. People who followed the event, will always remember
the emotion of his teammates as they shared the moment with him. He became a fan favorite and was this weekend as he won his first Major. This weekend, we played our version of the Ryder Cup competition. The idea was put together by Larry Gordon, Richard Wright and Jeff Burghardt and is a highly competitive weekend between the Junior Team of players under 50 years of age with their opponents made up of scrapings from the locker room floor. The scrapings, known as the Seniors, prevailed for the fourth time in five years. The event does not have prizes, other than the opportunity to sip from the Founders Cup and be first to go to the buffet table at the dinner on Sunday evening. We have the opportunity to play head to head with somebody you may never have played golf with,
In the Rough MOE HAYS
knowing the point you are competing for will affect the team score. It is a dream week of fellowship and competition. Our team member, the late Harris Coburn, would be smiling this weekend as an Irishman won the British
Open and his local teammates retained the Founders Cup. Harris founded the chant SENIORS, SENIORS, which we still break in to!! Congratulations to Susan MacKenzie and Cathy Horcoff on their victory at the Skeena Valley Ladies Open. Susan is putting together a very successful season, as she previously was victorious at the Kitimat Mr and Mrs. Carol Schaeffer also enjoyed a winning weekend in Terrace, as her and Aina Petterson took the Low Net title. Coming up this Thursday is a charity golf Scramble sponsored by CN Rail. Remeber the youth Junior Clinics on Tuesday mornings.
