◆ THE ECONOMY

Significant regional job growth projected By Shaun Thomas The Northern View

Between now and 2020 the BC Government projects that the annual growth in demand for workers in the northwest will be the third highest in the province, at 1.3 per cent per year, and Minister of Jobs, Tourism and Innovation Pat Bell says it is not difficult to see why. “In the northwest over the net 10 years there are nine projects moving forward that will generate $15 billion in construction. To put it in perspective, it is like building every infrastructure project for the Olympics every year for 10 years – there was $1.5 billion in infrastructure for the Olympics and there is $15 billion planned for the northwest,” he said during a July 21 media

call. “Whether it is the Rio Tinto Alcan modernization, the Kitimat LNG project, the LNG pipeline to Summit Lake, the Northwest Transmission Line, and I can go on and on, this will truly be the northwest’s decade unlike anything we’ve seen since the 1960s. We’re very excited about that.” Another key driver for the regional economy is BC exports to the Asia Pacific, which Bell said were up 27 per cent and valued at $5.5 billion in the first five months of 2011. Bell said those numbers put exports to Asia very close to exports to the US. “In terms of overall exports, I think it is possible that China could surpass the US in the next three years. Total exports to China are mirroring exports to the US,” he said. “I didn’t think China would overtake the

US in wood exports in 2011, I thought 2012 or 2013, and many people though China would never overtake the US so I tend to be optimistic on this file.” But with the growth comes a challenge for the province, one that Bell says needs to be addressed going forward. “We’re all familiar with the changing demographics. We don’t want to admit it but we’re all getting older....There will be over one million job openings in the next 10 years, and two-thirds of those will be through retirement,” he said. “By 2016 the number of job openings will surpass the number of people in the labour force, so we will have more positions available than we will have people to fill them and that is something we are working to resolve.”

MLA Gary Coons and provincial NDP leader Adrian Dix, sent another letter to the office of the Premier regarding the BC Ferries pension controversy. This time they were demanding that Christy Clark make public all the documents regarding the decision by the board of directors to give David Hahn a supplementary pension of over $200,000. They also want the details of the retirement agreements for two other BC Ferries board members. “The official opposition expects your office will ensure these documents are made available online in short order given your commitment to ‘open government’,” reads the letter that was signed by both Coons, the ferry critic, and his party leader. The Opposition is looking for a report made by a consultant for the BC Ferries board for them to consider before they decided to give Hahn his bonus pension. According to the letter, the NDP wants the documents to see if they back up the premier’s claim that a government review of the pensions is not possible. “They’ve refused to review the pension agreement and we’re hoping that by releasing these pension agreements and the consultant’s report it will allow us, and others, to test the claim that Christy Clark is powerless to act,” said Coons.

In order to see the information that they hope to hang the Liberal government with, the NDP needs premier Christy Clark to make it public. This is because if they make a request for the documents under the Freedom of Information and Privacy Act, they believe they would be turned down because the documents are private contracts. “We think the public and tax payers, especially those who rely on the ferries who are paying horrendous fares, have a right to see the agreement that was signed and to see if there is any way that we as responsible elected representatives can work on behalf of tax payers to find some way of reworking the contract so that there isn’t a treasure chest of salaries, benefits and pensions,” says Coons. The NDP isn’t only worried about David Hahn’s extra pension anymore either. They are also demanding the details of retiring agreements of two vice-presidents at BC Ferries as well, Mike Corrigan and Glen Schwartz. According to BC Ferries documents, Corrigan, who will be reaching retirement age in a few years, has received an extra pension that is actually larger than David Hahn’s, $224,000 a year, while Schwartz has a smaller pension of $102,000 per year. The NDP is also pointing out that the board decided to give these two and Hahn a 17 per cent pay raise, and a 30 per cent bonus increase the same fiscal year that the Queen of the North sank off the coast of Hartley Bay.

◆ ENBRIDGE PIPELINE

MP Cullen angered by minister’s support for Enbridge By Shaun Thomas The Northern View During last week’s conference of Canadian energy ministers in Kananaskis Alberta Federal Natural Resources Minister Joe Oliver pulled no punches in outlining his support for the Enbridge Northern Gateway Project, saying “we are supportive of the Gateway project because it will open up exports”, and that comment while the project is still under review has raised the ire of the northwest’s MP. “It’s troubling to see a federal minister promoting a project that’s currently under review. You would think that Enbridge has enough lobbyists; they don’t need the Minister of Natural Resources shilling for them too,” said Skeena

marine resources for their livelihoods. And First Nations have clearly said no to the pipeline passing through their traditional territory,” said Cullen. “The only interests he seems to be thinking about are those of the oil company.” Federal support has also upset the provincial NDP. “Alberta’s energy minister put out a call to his provincial and federal counterparts to speed up approval of the pipeline. That’s fine for him, but Premier Clark and Minister Coleman have a responsibility to British Columbians,” said Week of July 27 NDP energy and mines critic Not for Navigational Purposes Doug Donaldson.

Bulkley Valley MP Nathan Cullen. “I don’t know how people are supposed to put their trust in a review process when the Minister in charge is already saying he wants to build the pipeline.” Alberta energy minister Ron Liepert said he wanted to see the Federal Cabinet “expedite that decision”, while Oliver said votes taken at the summit were unanimous – although Ontario and BC energy ministers were absent. As well Oliver said the pipeline was in the national interest to lessen Canada’s dependence on the shaky US energy market as a buyer. “With 80 per cent of British Columbians saying no to tankers off our north coast, I’m not sure what the Minister is thinking when he says the pipeline is in the ‘national interest’.

PRINCE RUPERT TIDES

Canfisco, Ocean Fish merge processing operations By Alan S. Hale The Northern View Two fish processing companies that own plants in Prince Rupert quietly joined forces early last month. The Canadian Fishing Company (Canfisco) and Ocean Fisheries decided to put all of their processing assets together as of June 1, essentially becoming one company at least on the production side. Both companies say that they will be remaining competitors when the fish that was processed in Prince Rupert eventually makes it to the supermarket shelf. Under the new arrangement, all of Ocean’s fish processing plants will be run by Canfisco while Ocean remains a mostly hands-off partner in the

day-to-day running of the facilities. The Canfisco-run plants will still produce all of Ocean’s products and brands, which will be sold as separate competing companies like before. The advantage for Ocean in this arrangement is that it now has access to the production power of a much bigger company. “What we see is it giving us access to an expanded source of supply and continuity, and especially access to some of their US plants when sometimes the BC catch isn’t that great, we can get access that way. That’s a big plus for us. For [Canfisco,] I guess it brings some kind of consolidation to the industry,” said Aidan Hughes, who became the president of Ocean Fisheries when the

◆ RECREATION

Port Edward skateboarders get a skate park at home By Martina Perry The Northern View By the end of the month skateboarders living in the District of Port Edward will have the same luxury as skaters in Prince Rupert; a skateboard park in their community. Although youth had been sending letters to Mayor Dave Macdonald asking for the council to consider creating a park in previous years, it wasn’t until last fall that council had serious plans of creating a park in the district. And since it was the youth who wanted the skate park, council asked for help from them. “We approached the younger people in the community about the park and they came out and chose a layout that they liked and that’s what council went with,” said Port Edward’s Chief Administrative

Officer Ron Bedard. The new skateboarding park is located south of Port Edward Elementary School, near the district’s tennis court. The Canadian Ramp Company, the world’s largest skate-park provider, constructed the park, which consists of nine ramps; mini ramps, grind rails and grind boxes. All nine ramps are made of quarter inch steel with powder coating, and have a 20-year warranty. “[The skateboard park] is not open yet, but it’s just about done,” explained Bedard, who says a little more work needs to be done to the park, which he estimates will be ready by the end of the month at the latest. The District of Port Edward put $40,000 towards the park project, as well as receiving funding from the Prince Rupert Port Authority and Ridley Terminals Inc for this and other projects.

The Northern View On Thursday afternoon two judges from the provincial Communities in Bloom competition were in town to look at the efforts undertaken by the local committee, and both Wendy Maurer and Georgia Kliever say they were impressed with what they saw. “The tour did a good job of highlighting the community’s assets and was really a good example of Prince Rupert,” said Maurer. “The tour was very informative and well organized, and the people that were hosting it you could tell were very passionate and proud and full of energy,” added Kliever.

The tour highlighted not just landscaped areas and beautification projects like Paint Prince Rupert, but also looked at the industrial site and environmental aspects such as the water supply, the recycling depot and more. The timing of the visit also coincided with a visit from the Norwegian Star, which Maurer said only added to the impression of civic pride. “It was good to be here on cruise ship day because we got to experience the hospitality offered to cruise ship passengers and see a broad range of local talent being showcased,” she said. “It is great to come into a community and have a group of people share their excitement of living here.” Treena Decker, one of the organizers of the Communities in Bloom Committee,

said she was very happy with how things went. “The visit went very well. We were excited to showcase the community this year because so much is happening and so much has happened in the past three years [since we were in Communities in Bloom],” she said, noting that the judge’s visit doesn’t signal the end of the group’s work. “We’re going to keep doing what we’re doing as individual members. All we do is community development work, so it doesn’t stop because the judging is done.” Maurer and Kliever will now create a report and ranking for the city, which will be released during the awards banquet this September.

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.

The City of Prince Rupert has received notice that the RCMP building on McBride Street is no longer adequate. That notice was in the form of a copy of a letter from the commanding officer of the division, informing the province’s Attorney General that Prince Rupert’s 33-year-old RCMP building is in violation of the policing agreement the municipality has with the provincial government. Under the terms of the agreement, municipalities have to provide and maintain, at no costs to Canada, office spaces, heat, lighting and facilities that will meet the security standards of the force, Inspector Bob Killbery said. “They’ll give them three consecutive annual notices. It’s not like the building’s falling down and if you don’t replace it we will build it ourselves. It’s a three-year process. The City’s received the first letter.” If the City were to receive two more notices and take no action, then the province could proceed and construct a building and come back and bill the municipality. “We don’t want to get into that situation. My understanding is it has happened before in other communities, but I’m hopeful we’re not going to get to that. At the end of the day, we’ve been talking about this for a long time, and it’s come to the point where we have to do something about it,” Killbery said. Mayor Jack Mussallem confirmed City staff is in the process of preparing a referendum bylaw for the upcoming election in November where voters will be asked whether to support the construction of a new emergency services building that could possibly house not only the RCMP, but the Fire Rescue Department as well. “When you see these buildings deteriorate, clearly something needs to be done. And when you get an emergency services provider issuing letters of concern, we have to react,” the mayor said. The letter doesn’t say the City has to build a new building, but Killbery believes renovating the existing RCMP building is not Our 5pc Gourmet cookware set includes: the best solution because 1.5L, & 3L saucepans, 24cm/9” fry pan it will not address the and 2 covers.

OPINION

MY VIEW…

Attracting employees to meet job growth... What an interesting media call Minister Pat Bell had on Thursday afternoon. It was one that was filled with both good news and bad news, and I’m not quite sure how to take it to be honest. The good news, obviously, is that the northwest is projected to experience a significant increase in the demand for new workers in the next decade, an increase spurred on by new infrastructure projects ranging from the Kitimat Modernization to the Northwest Transmission Line to mines and, most assuredly, new projects to meet the increasing demand for BC products in the Asia-Pacific. As Minister Bell said, the next decade is going to be the northwest’s decade, and I don’t doubt that the projections for increased growth are going to be realized. But at the same time the bad news is that there will be over a million jobs available in BC between now and 2020 and there may not be enough people to fill them all. It’s certainly something that can be attributed to the babyboomers reaching retirement age and what appears to be a reduction in the size of families. A great example is my family - my mom came from a family with seven children and my dad came from a family that was in the double-digits when it came to kids. You don’t see that much anymore, except on TLC apparently, and even someone with four kids is considered to have a big family. Just looking at the number of people approaching retirement age in the next 10 years in our region demonstrates that there will be a lot of positions becoming open in a variety of different businesses and professions. To be honest it’s the

same story in pretty much most communities and regions I’ve lived in. I’ve editorialized about this in the past, but the question becomes: If there are to be an estimated 750,000 jobs becoming available in the next decade due to retirement around the province, how do we attract the young people that are needed to fill those positions to the North Coast as opposed to somewhere more urban or with less of the wet

stuff falling from the sky? It’s an important question, and one I hope our elected officials (some of whom are also nearing retirement age) have put some serious thought into. It’s great to say “Come to Rupert, we have x-number of jobs available”, but if other places are saying the same thing what is it that will make us stand out and be the destination of choice?

New book marks 80 years of cruising with EDAC vessel I still remember the first time I saw Edac, down at the Yacht Club in about 1995. Rob Morris, then at Westcoast Mariner, and I used to talk about her quite often. We both have a real soft spot for classic pleasure boats, and having been launched here by Suga Brothers in 1914 the Edac certainly fit that bill. I came to know Edac’s owners, Noel and Alberta Woodworth, quite well as regulars at the chowder sessions we used to hold at Sabre Marine. In fact, we ended up displaying the Edac and CRC together down at the lightering dock for Heritage Week in February 1999. Noel said he was writing a book, and since he’d published more than one story I always thought that there was good chance of him finishing, but as his health failed I assumed that was the end of that. I was wrong. Alberta finished the book after Noel died in 2006, and it was released this year as Edac: 80 Years Cruising the North Coast of British Columbia. And it’s a real treat.

Adventures and Part travelogue and part Talking tourism mishaps are recounted through biography of a place and a fine writing and delightful, selfclassic boat, it follows the depreciating humour. tradition of The Curve of Noel wrote his story in the Time, Upcoast Summers, mid-1990s, while Edac was still Three’s a Crew, or Seventied up at the Yacht Club and Knot Summers. Yet, like Iain Charlie Currie still brought a big Lawrence in Sea Stories of pot of clam chowder down to the Inside Passage, Noel Sabre Marine each week, so in has provided a special treat the book we avoid the sad ending by focusing on northern BC BRUCE WISHART – the passing of Noel, and waters. longtime friends Bill and Paddy Edac was launched for Elkins who shared so many of Drs. Kergin and McRae as Kermac, and renamed when she was sold Edac’s adventures, and the dismantling of to Dr. Cade in 1919. The vessel passed the ruined old Edac herself at the Cowichan through a few other hands before Noel and Bay Wooden Boat Society nearly a decade Alberta bought her for a thousand dollars on ago. Instead the story is one of continuing adventure, somehow frozen in a world of Valentine’s Day 1966. The book is a series of vignettes, really, a endless summers. Noel did not intentionally write about collection of treasured memories. Some are gathered by topic, such as fishing, wildlife himself. Yet his character, and Noel and sightings, beachcombing, or favourite Alberta’s deep love of Edac and the times

they had with her, come through with crystal clarity. “We loved this cruising as nothing before in our lives,” he wrote. “We enjoyed beachcombing on beautiful beaches where few human footsteps are seen each year, walking the low rocky tidal areas where nature’s undersea beauty is exposed, seeing the endless wild flowers of the seaside and the tortured trees that grow according to the winter winds. It was always thrilling to see the ever-changing seas of waves and swells and currents, of calm and of anger, but always of beauty. It also brought us many friends and introduced us to a way of life we would sorely miss if we had to leave it. Thirty years later we are still enjoying it.” I hope that Edac: 80 Years Cruising the North Coast of British Columbia joins its storied predecessors, The Curve of Time and the others, as a classic tale of cruising the BC coast. It has certainly earned that place on my shelf.

It was suggested that the approval should hinge on a promise of environmentally sound operation and jobs for Haida Gwaii residents, but the board does not have the authority to impose conditions like that. A debate erupted whether they should instead “recommend” these things in a separate letter or at all. “If we were going to go ahead with projects like this, we should make a point of providing employment,” said Putterill. Eventually a motion was passed allowing for the employment to be recommended to the developers.

Garden Tour 2011

Just some of the colourful displays seen on this year’s Garden Tour.

By Martina Perry The Northern View The Prince Rupert Garden Club held their annual City Garden Tour and Tea last weekend, when gardening fans had an opportunity to visit six different locations around the community to see a beautiful arrangement of different flowers and plants. The tour included half a dozen locations around Prince Rupert including the stunning Sunken Gardens and Pioneer Hostel. Another garden included in the tour was Bozena Sliwa’s, the owner of the Black Rooster Roadhouse. Sliwa has a degree in horticulture and it showed in the Roadhouse’s entrance garden. Homeowners Joe Soares and Dolly Harasym both shared their two gorgeous gardens during the tour, and both had a lovely arrangement of flowers, plants and vegetable gardens. Georgina and David Smith showed their garden, which had a lot of personality and an interesting water feature, and homeowner Kim Horbach shared her dazzling garden that helps maintain the historic charm of the older home. The Prince Rupert Garden Club has about 45 members, although not all members attend each meeting. The club holds monthly meetings between September and June each year with a wide range of topics being included at each meeting. Garden Club chair Andree Fawcett also mentioned the need for new gardens to be added to next year’s tour. “We are always looking for gardens to put on the garden tour. It’s getting more and more difficult to find gardens to put on the tour. So we’re always looking for people’s ideas on which gardens [to include in the tour],” she mentioned. People wishing to join the club or have garden ideas for next year’s tour are encouraged to phone Andree at 250-624-3666 to learn more.

At one time we met the second Tuesday of every month (excluding July & August) at one p.m. Because it conflicted with carpet bowling we changed the time to 10 a.m. Unfortunately that time is not appreciated by all and some of our more senior members find it just too darn early and members of the Walking Group at the Civic Centre find it interrupts

We have our new sign on the building and it really looks nice. Jim West is very talented and treats us very well indeed, I believe it is a show stopper… As soon as I wrote my notes last week I realized I forgot to mention Andrew and Larissa. Mother and son both came to help paint on the Saturday. Thank you both so much.

◆ OPERATION ONSLAUGHT

Hacktivist group “Anonymous” seeing a local presence By Alan S. Hale The Northern View The smiling face of a Guy Fawkes mask has appeared on the doors and windows of vacant commercial properties around Prince Rupert’s downtown core. The vexing vaudevillian visage on the poster is a symbol adopted from V for Vendetta, a graphic novel by Alan Moore, by the Internet activism group Anonymous. The poster shows a URL for a planning-website for “Operation Onslaught;” apparently the next mission being planned for the end of the month. The “Operation Onslaught” that the posters are promoting is more of a awareness campaign when compared to the other of the groups’ operations. The hacktivist group is calling Onslaught its “first ever large-scale community event.” According to the website from the poster, people are being encouraged to print off their own posters, stencils or stickers and plaster them all over major centres in their home cities on the night of July 30. The goal is to remind people “that freedom is alive in all of us and Anonymous is here to make sure people are heard. Let everyone know that change is on the way.” While that may sound like idle talk

Smithers, BC LOCATION: Smithers, BC Bandstra Transportation Systems Ltd. is now accepting resumes for an experienced Class 1 Driver for its Smithers operation. The successful applicant will be required to perform a variety of duties, including package. QUALIFICATIONS:

Foster Peter Husoy 30 December 1922 – 19 July 2011 Foster Husoy passed away peacefully at Prince Rupert Regional Hospital with his family at his side. He was born in Norway but moved to Prince Rupert with his family when he was three and half years of age, and except for three years he spent working on a foreign aid project for the Canadian government in Peru, he was a resident of Prince Rupert for virtually his entire life. He was a Àsherman, but also worked from time to time in various other occupations as need be, such as being relief captain on pilot boats and on the Digby Island ferry. He served in the Royal Canadian Navy in the Second World War, seeing action at D-Day. He was happily married to the love of his life, Hilda, for just short of sixty years. He is survived by Hilda, his sons Lance and John, daughter-in-law Shelley, and grandchildren Miles and Joanna, as well as a brother Peder, resident of Terrace, and many other relatives. Foster was an extremely active member of his community: the Prince Rupert Fisherman’s Cooperative Association, the Deep Sea Fisherman’s Guild, the PaciÀc Trollers Association, the Vessel Owners Association, the Royal Canadian Legion, to name just a few. He served on multiple occasions on City Council and was interim Mayor at one point. One of Foster’s proudest achievements was the creation of the PaciÀc Mariners’ Memorial Park, and he travelled to Japan to represent Prince Rupert at her city-sister Owase on several occasions. He also posed as the artist’s model for the park’s statue honouring those lost at sea. His work on the behalf of the Àshing community extended further: he was a member of many advisory councils to the DFO, Àghting vigorously on behalf of ordinary Àshermen. Foster was well-known for his generosity and hospitality. He seemed to know everyone and everyone seemed to know him, and if they didn’t, they soon did. His door was open to all. He was famous for his cooking, particularly his awesome Norwegian Àshcakes. He had a terriÀc sense of humour, a fountain of stories, and a great love of life. When life presented him with setbacks, he pushed on regardless and always somehow survived and even thrived. He was greatly loved and will be greatly missed. No funeral by Foster’s own request, but the family will hold an informal memorial gathering this Sunday July 24th between 2:00 and 5:00 p.m. at home, 548 Cassiar Avenue in Prince Rupert. Friends and family are welcome to come by during this time period to share their memories of Foster. In lieu of Áowers, donations to a local charity of your choice would be appreciated.

◆ HOT AUGUST NITES

Jet cars are coming By Ed Evans The Northern View Get ready for the Drag racing event of the Season at the Terrace Regional Airport this weekend, as Hot August Nites burns up the track Sunday July 31st and Monday August 1st. The Terrace Drag Racing Association always brings in fast cars for this event and this year is no exception. Kevin Therres and his team at Prairieland Motorsports in Humboldt Saskatchewan will heat up the track with not one but two Jet funny cars. You might remember Therres first visit to the Terrace track in 2009, He brought his new

Pickup Jet truck and made some blistering passes down the track, 4,463 seconds at 182.93 MPH. Super fast, but not quite fast enough to break the track record of 4.08 seconds set by Gary Ormesby Jr. in a top alcohol rail in 2007. Therres’s new Pickup was destroyed two weekends later in a spectacular crash in Calgary. That track record might fall this weekend however, as an engine from a F5 fighter jet from the Canadian Forces was installed in the new car. Now, after a year of building, the 2006 Mustang Jet Funny car, Prairieland Motorsports has set its sights on going faster and quicker than ever before. See Jet cars, page 20

◆ FOSTER HUSOY

Long-time councillor, community booster passes away By Monica Lamb-Yorski The Northern View In the words of fellow fisherman Paddy Greene, the passing of Foster Husoy on July 19, 2011 in Prince Rupert, is the passing of a generation. Husoy, 88, was a fisherman, city councillor and briefly the interim mayor. He volunteered on the boards of the Fishermen’s Co-operative Association, the Deep Sea Fisherman’s Guild, the Pacific Trollers Association, the Vessel Owners Association, and was a member of the Royal Canadian Legion who served in the Navy for three years. He also worked as a relief pilot on the pilot boats and the Digby Island Ferry. In 1924, Husoy arrived in Prince Rupert from Norway with his parents Arne Peder (Bill) and Marie. His father Bill was also an avid fisherman. Monday evening over the phone, Greene had nothing but praise for Husoy. “He was very dedicated to the fishing industry, always a great friend to me and to many people. He was unique and had a wonderful sense of humour. He was the type of person who would tell stories on himself where he’d be the butt of the joke. Not too many people can do that,” Greene said. The two men served together on the Pacific Advisory Council for DFO and Greene recalled a high profile lawyer from Montreal who was the chair being fascinated with Husoy’s stories. “He said we should write a book. We probably should have,” Greene said. Greene and Dave Cook, a city councillor at the same time as Husoy, lauded Husoy’s advocacy for commercial fishermen.

Both recalled that Husoy had coined the phrase “tortured fish”. Once Husoy had said that commercial fishermen fish for their community, but some fishermen live to torture fish, said Greene. “While the recreational steelhead fishery made a big point about their catch and release program, Foster said that tortured the fish because they were caught five or six times as they made their way up the river,” Cook added. Cook also remembered Husoy’s comments during a time when the price of herring had skyrocketed. “He said the seiners were making sure to chase each individual fish because they were so valuable,” Cook recalled. Working alongside Husoy on council was always a positive experience for Cook. “He’d been around the community, had a good reputation, and was well-known in the fishing community,” recalled Cook. Cook also remembered when Husoy first started to have heart troubles and immediately went into a program of proper diet and exercise. “He made quite a fuss about eating muffins instead of donuts,” Cook said. Aside from politics and fishing, Husoy was also instrumental in the creation of Pacific Mariners Park overlooking the harbour. In fact, he was the model for a large bronze statue of a mariner pointing toward the sea that graces the park. On Monday evening a colourful scarf was draped around the statue’s neck and a young man nearby said it hadn’t been there the night before. He had a digital photograph to prove it. When he learned of Husoy’s passing, the young man insisted it must be there in Husoy’s honour. Whether that’s true or not, the statue is a fitting tribute. Local sign painter Jim West said the idea for the park was Foster’s to begin with. “Foster was an alderman then and when he proposed the park to make Prince Rupert a better place, Mayor Pete Lester agreed it was a good idea. I’d been involved with the Charlie Hays statue so Foster asked me if I would help. We formed the Pacific Mariners Memorial Society and Geoff

Foster Husoy. Gould joined as he was a lawyer. He helped us get organized for fundraising,” West said. With the help of landscape architect named Rina Pita from Vancouver, they came up with a design for the park. “Foster and I worked very hard. We had the memorial wall and the statue, it was a big success. I’ve got nothing to say but nice things about him. He was a prince of a guy. I knew he’d been sick, but it was a bit of choker to find out he’d passed today,” West said. Husoy also worked on the installation of the Kazu Maru in the park in 1990, a Japanese fishing vessel found in the waters off Haida Gwaii. “He was a go-to guy who got things done. He had that shed built and boat restored,” said former halibut fisherman Randolph Mostad. Mostad fished alongside Husoy on the same fishing grounds and belonged to the Fishermen’s Co-op during the same time period. He described Husoy as a community guy. “He even did some work in Peru helping fishermen there. I am sad to hear that he has passed,” Mostad said. Mostad, Greene and Mayor Jack Mussallem also praised Husoy’s cooking capabilities. Mostad raved about his fishcakes, Greene said he did a wonderful job of smoking salmon, and Mussallem said a favourite event was the annual Christmas Open House held at the Husoy home.

“Foster would serve pickled herring he’d produced and it would be done three or four different ways,” Mussallem said. “He always had an interest in researching how to do things as thoroughly as possible.” Mussallem grew up with Husoy’s eldest son Lance and recalled being at the house stringing lines on a halibut hook. “Foster had this old duffel bag with artwork on it that he’d done. There were cartoons and other drawings. He was very talented,” said Mussallem. Husoy also liked to hunt and would take Lance and Mussallem with their 22s to go target shooting at one of the pull-outs on the highway. “Foster as a younger man was strong as a bull and from his years of fishing was in good shape,” Mussallem added. When it came to politics, Mussallem believes it was Husoy’s knowledge of the community that helped him become a member of City Council. At that time Mussallem worked as the municipal clerk and observed Husoy as steady and solid “He looked for practical and common sense ways of doing things. He’d had quite the life and had such a variety of life skills. I always appreciated his words and there was a lot of wisdom in his stories,” said Mussallem. When Mayor John Kuz resigned in the fall of 1995, Husoy, who had served eight years on council, was appointed interim mayor by the other council members. That lasted until the election in January 1996 when Mussallem became mayor. At the time of his appointment as mayor, Husoy said the city’s future was closely linked to the growth of the Pacific Rim economies and related to the proposed bridge to the Digby Island Airport. “I think that is the single most important thing we (council) have to do,” Husoy told the Daily News at the time. Husoy, described by Greene as a man of talent and good will, leaves behind his wife Hilda, sons Lance and John, daughter-in-law Shelley, grandchildren Miles and Joanna, and his brother Peder of Terrace. There will be no funeral by Foster’s own request, but the family will hold an informal memorial gathering on Sunday July 24th between 2:00 and 5:00 p.m. at the Husoy home at 548 Cassiar Avenue in Prince Rupert.

Jet Cars and Show and Shine in Terrace Continued from page 19 They estimate this car will be able to go 270 mph in 5.9 seconds in a quartermile, which is 15 to 16 miles per hour faster than their other cars. Also included this weekend is the MacCarthy Motors “Quick 8”, which will feature the fastest 8 cars as they race down the Terrace 1/8 mile track. Don’t miss the Jet cars at the airport as they belch smoke and flame. The Bio-diesel

powered jet vehicles will make your heart stop with every throttle pop. Time Trials start at 10 a.m, with eliminations both days starting after the lunch break. So this is a great weekend for motor heads as the Skeena Valley Cruizers hold their annual Show and Shine from Noon to 4pm Saturday at the Terrace arena. Besides all of the beautiful cars there will be valve cover races for the kids.
