Community Futures of the Pacific Northwest is looking to match potential new owners to small businesses in Prince Rupert after a survey found 44 per cent of business owners plan to exit their business in the next 10 years - with half of that number planning to leave the market in the next three years. The number one reason given by owners for wanting to leave their business was retirement, while insufficient demand, lack of support for the product or service, financial uncertainty and relocation were also cited by respondents as reasons. “One shouldn’t dismiss the fact that 56 per cent of Prince Rupert small business owners

polled intend on continuing operations as normal,” noted Amber Sheasgreen, Business Development Coordinator for Community Futures Pacific Northwest. “But the number of businesses that are exiting the economy and the potential job loss shows there is a critical need for succession planning.” Owners were also asked to indicate their employment statistics, and that figure shows the loss of the business could equate to 150 full-time and 80 part time positions lost. To meet the demand and ensure established businesses remain operation, Community Futures is undertaking an effort to match-up potential new business owners with those existing business owners who have identified their desire to leave.

“If you look at 3rd Avenue a lot of the businesses that were viable up until a few years ago left because the owner reached retirement age. They worked their whole life and wanted to enjoy their golden years. Without someone to take over, they decided it was easier to close,” said Community Futures General Manager John Farrell. “There is another option and I think we can find ways to allow them to retire and leave their business in someone else’s hands...That may entail bringing in someone to mentor under them or it might mean a family member wanting to take over but needing financial help.” Community Futures sent out surveys to 1,100 business license holders in the City and received a 10 per cent response rate.

Fairview July numbers up By Shaun Thomas The Northern View The July numbers for the Prince Rupert Port Authority are in, and they indicate that the different facets of the PRPA continue to grow entering the second half of the year. The number of TEUs handled at Fairview Terminal this July are up 20.3 per cent compared to last July, climbing from 38,598.8 in 2010 to 46,433.3 in 2011, with imports and exports seeing increases of 18 and 23.3 per cent respectively. The export of goods through Fairview continue to lead the growth with a 94.5 per cent increase in the number of loaded TEUs, from 5,420 last year to 10,543 this year, while the number of containers being imported through Fairview climbed from 22,066 to 26,043.8. Year to date the traffic through Fairview is up one per cent, with the number of loaded containers up 16.5 per cent and the number of empty containers being handled down 39.4 per cent. Imports are up 1.3 per cent, sitting at 114,887.3, while the number of full containers being exported is up 82.3 per cent compared to 2010, climbing from 28,520 to 51,992.5. The numbers for Ridley Terminal were down this July compared to last, but the terminal remains on track to shatter last year’s record. Ridley

From August 1-5, Prince Rupert had the opportunity to host the Mobile Optimist Sailing School (MOSS) run by BC Sailing, a program designed to teach youngsters the basics of the sport.

Terminals handled 14.9 per cent less tonnage than last July, but the terminal has now surpassed the five-million tonne mark and is up 21 per cent so far in 2011 compared to 2010. “We are achieving stronger throughput numbers as we continue to improve our equipment and our customers, RTI, and CN work as team developing greater efficiency across the logistics chain. As we grow our capacity we can expect those through put numbers will continue to rise,” said RTI chair Bud Smith. “Net earnings we’re deriving from the increased through put is being reinvested at the terminal in Prince

Weather cancels Snowbirds show By Shaun Thomas The Northern View Rotary Waterfront Park was packed on the afternoon of August 4 as people from across the northwest came to Prince Rupert to take in a performance by the Canadian Forces Snowbirds unfortunately Mother Nature was uncooperative and the show was cancelled. With rain clouds hiding much of Digby Island from view, Captain Marc Velasco made the announcement shortly after 5:30 p.m., just half an hour before the show was to start.

“The Canadian Forces Snowbirds regret that we have to cancel our Prince Rupert performance due to weather. It is with the safety of the spectators and the pilots that we make this call,” he said. “There is less than 1,000 feet of clearance from the cloud and the Snowbirds require a minimum of 1,000 feet and three miles horizontal visibility in order to fly. As a result we must cancel the show...The men and the women of the Canadian Forces Snowbirds are proud to perform for Canadians. Whenever we make this call it is a tough one, but it is the right one for the safety of the public.”

Ridley Terminals chair discusses expansion progress By Shaun Thomas The Northern View Access to Ridley Island was closed to the public on August 2, and Ridley Terminals chair Bud Smith says it was a move needed to ensure everyone’s safety as the expansion of the facility takes place. “The effort to grow our capacity requires mobilization space; storage of equipment space; potential moving of new equipment onto the site from a barge site used during initial construction and space for crews, who during part of the project, will be working round the clock to limit our down

time. In addition we are going to continue as full a regime of service to our customers as possible,” he said. “All of this will be done with maximum worker safety procedures in hand. To ensure that maximum safety RTI and the Prince Rupert Port Authority have developed a process for limiting access to the terminal area. RTI is not prepared to risk an injury or worse for either work crews or citizens that could be caused by unlimited access to the area.” And while this segment of the expansion is expected to be complete this year, Smith said there is still many different aspects of the expansion that will be taking place through to

next year. “The current program for expanding our capacity has three major prongs. One, we’re replacing our existing rail car dumper and doing associated upgrades. That is scheduled to complete during December 2011. Two, we’re improving 9 acres of land adjacent to the tank area. Three, we’re doing site preparation for more storage capacity on the 35 additional acres we have leased from PRPA,” he said. “All this work begin in the coming days and weeks and will carry on into 2012.”

◆ ABUSE OF POWER

Not for Navigational Purposes

Coons joins call for Woodlands compensation By Alan S. Hale The Northern View MLA Gary Coons is supporting his party leader’s call on the Clark government to ease the restrictions for victims of abuse while being institutionalized at Woodlands school. The provincial government is refusing to extend compensation to anyone who was at the infamous institution before 1974, because it is not legally obligated to compensate them. NDP leader Adrian Dix says that it may be legal for the government to do this, but that it is wrong. Coons agrees with that assessment. “All those who suffered systematic abuse must be recognized for compensation regardless of any arbitrary date,” says Coons. “If Christy Clark and her government really cared about families, and those in need of support, she would acknowledge that all the Woodlands survivors and their families

have been waiting over a decade for justice and closure.” The Woodlands School was an institution for troubled, mentally disabled or otherwise unwanted children. The children who lived there were subjected to systematic physical and sexual abuse at the hands of the staff. One boy was even knocked out with gas and had all his teeth pulled to teach him a lesson for biting one of the faculty members. Rupertite Shelly Starr is herself a Woodlands survivor. She was committed to the institution when she was 10-years-old, and lived in Ward 72 until she was released when she was 21. Starr says that violence at the school could be started by splashing too much when you jumped in the pool. “11 years of abuse. I lost my childhood. You don’t get that back,” says Starr. The institution was closed in 1996 and in 2009 the BC Government announced that

survivors would be eligible for up to $150,000 of compensation. But survivors who were there before August 1, 1974 were not given anything because British Columbians didn’t have the right to sue their government before that date. Starr says that the legal double standard is outrageous “We must allow all victims of abuse from Woodlands the opportunity to apply for compensation. It’s ridiculous that not all survivors are treated equally, especially since many of the 300 were the first to fight for a settlement,” said Starr.

then it makes sense to increase the number of trips to Prince Rupert,” Kiffer said. Like Prince Rupert, Ketchikan has seen a decrease in the number of tourists visiting by ferry, so the hope is that daily trips would also help increase tourism traffic. “This way we can encourage people visiting Prince Rupert to take a couple of days and come to Ketchikan,” Kiffer said. Aside from tourism, Alaska is also very interested in shipping seafood to Asia through Prince Rupert’s container port, he added.

OPINION

MY VIEW…

Fairview is just that much better... Last week’s front page story outlined a potential investigation into Fairview Terminal by the Federal Maritime Commission of the United States Government following complaints about unfair competitive practices such as rail subsidies and anti-NAFTA procedures. While getting the attention of the U.S. government to the point that there is a potential investigation may not be the best thing in the world, there’s a saying that no press is bad press and it certainly applies here. To me, what this is telling the world is that the U.S. west coast ports are a bit scared of what’s going on here in the northwest part of the province. It tells me, and probably most who hear about it, that they simply cannot compete with the efficiencies offered by not only Fairview Terminal but by the northern corridor. Yes Prince Rupert is closer to Asia, an obvious advantage, but that alone isn’t enough to take traffic away from U.S. ports. The proximity to Asia cuts down trans-Pacific sailing time, but if Fairview was still running slowly in terms of unloading the containers and berth time and if CN was proving unreliable in getting those containers to market it wouldn’t make a difference or business sense to choose Rupert. But none of that is happening. The whole process is running like a well oiled machine and making it tough for people to find a reason not to choose Fairview Terminal. You would think that shipping goods into the U.S. would be best accomplished by landing the goods at a U.S. port, but that’s not the case. The model of Fairview Terminal, which is to take the containers off the ship and put them onto a train

for transport to their destination, is much more effective than putting them on a truck that then has to deal with traffic and congestion. And as more and more places look to “go green” and reduce their environmental footprint, Prince Rupert is only going to become more popular due to the reduced sailing time, shore power and the use of train as opposed to large truck. If that requires expansion, Prince Rupert is also

better positioned given the amount of available space and the lack of intrusion into residential areas. So bring on the investigation. Yeah it may be worrisome, but I think it will only prove Fairview Terminal is just better at what it does than its American counterparts. And won’t that be a tough pill to swallow in a report from the Federal Government?

How we can benefit from “the long tail of tourism” The Internet, which on one hand creates seemingly infinite competition, also offers opportunities. The concept of Long Tail Tourism comes from the book The Long Tail: How Endless Choice is Creating Unlimited Demand. The idea is that markets that were once difficult to reach are now within the reach of even the smallest players; it might be beyond your means to join in the leading “head” of marketing, the expensive TV and magazine campaigns, but it is easy to slip inside the long tail. In Wikipedia Long Tail economics says that “the distribution and inventory costs of these businesses allow them to realize significant profit out of selling small volumes of hard-to-find items to many customers, instead of only selling large volumes of a reduced number of popular items.” In a tourism sense, Prince Rupert itself, let alone our specialized experiences, is one of those hard-to-find items. We’re not in the mass-market business of Banff or Niagara

venues such as our annual Falls. It costs a little more to get here, requires a greater Talking tourism Visitor Guide, where it shares space with everything from sport investment of time and effort, fishing to the Khutzeymateen, but it is extremely appealing and it likely isn’t a primary to those interested in grizzly trip motivator for the readers of bears, Northwest Coast 60,000 Visitor Guides produced cultures, saltwater fishing, each year. and so on.

Traditionally, it would get here than they might assume. Any business or attraction that can be have depended on a mention here and there, found on the web can benefit from the Long a very slow word-of-mouth information Tail. Let’s use a concrete example. The network, assisted by difficult to find Prince Rupert Fire Museum is a fascinating newsletters and clubs for enthusiasts. Now, addition to what we can offer visitors to those enthusiasts are the click of a mouse Prince Rupert, but is not large enough, and away. For the interested consumer already too specialized, to justify heavy traditional considering Prince Rupert, they are linked marketing. It receives limited mention in directly to the Fire Museum website which

offers specialized information. But why wait? The Internet allows promoters to reach out into these specialized niche markets. A quick Google search reveals endless options: from the Historic Fire Engine Association in New South Wales to the Miami Valley Antique Fire Apparatus Association. Most of these societies include chat boards, where local promoters can simply join a conversation and plant a seed among people interested enough in this subject that when they find out that the Fire Museum could be included on a rail/ ferry tour, or an Alaskan cruise, it could actually be a primary motivator for an entire trip. This only makes sense, in an increasingly competitive world, where consumers are empowered by tools such as TripAdvisor or CruiseCritic. The beauty of this is that anybody can do it, regardless of the size of their operation, and it doesn’t have to cost anything to substantially increase traffic.

◆ POPLAR III

Former local MOF boat returns

COMMUNITY CELEBRATION…

By Monica Lamb-Yorski The Northern View Bill Jackson of Prince Rupert had an unexpected visitor this summer when the former Ministry of Forests boat, Poplar III, showed up in the harbour. Jackson, who worked for 37 years with the Forest Service, spent 15 of those years on the boat. In those days, his district spanned from Stewart to Butedale. On many occasions he was gone on the boat for up to seven or ten days. He retired in 1992 and had not seen the boat since it was sold to a private buyer in 1997. “It brought back a lot of memories. Being with that boat for so many years you become attached. Seeing her this summer was like the return of an old friend,” Jackson said. The present owners, Gregg and Rachel Dietzman of the San Juan Islands, Washington, are the second owners of the Poplar III, having purchased it from a couple in Duncan. In July the Dietzmans were en route to Sitka, Alaska, and stopped over in Prince Rupert. Their children Katherine and Roald were also on board. It was the family’s second time taking the vessel from Washington to Alaska. On their first trip, they’d also stopped in Prince Rupert, hoping to meet someone who had worked on the boat or knew it firsthand. But it was a long weekend, the forestry office was closed, and they were unable to connect with anyone. This time around, however, they got lucky. They visited the Prince Rupert City & Regional Archives and said they were interested in meeting people that knew the boat or had worked on it. When staff at the archives made a few phone calls, they were told to put the Dietzmans in touch with Walter Lindenblatt

Lindenblatt came down to the archives immediately and talked with the Dietzmans about his experiences on the boat and later Gregg and Jackson talked on the phone, making plans to meet later. After dinner, Rachel and Roald met Jackson at McLean’s Shipyard, and transported him across the harbour in their zodiac to the Poplar III. As soon as he stepped onto the boat, Jackson’s face lit up. It was apparent he was impressed with the state of the vessel and looked around as if he was a proud father. He told the family stories about the boat, how it pitched and waves would come over the bow until some stabilizers were installed in 1978. The family asked questions about cooking, good spots for fishing, and Jackson’s work as a ranger. “I remember when we were involved with a study of the damage porcupines were doing to trees in the Khutzmateen,” Jackson recalled.

Later Jackson said it was Shaun Thomas photos nice to see that the boat is being Before the Snowtaken care of so well. birds show was “It made me feel good to see cancelled, the community celebration it.

◆ THEATRE

Harbour Theatre Society entertains with 2011 Udderfest Bus Stop Confidential

Hot Judge Sundae

Stephen Huddlestone showcased his sense of humour with “Bus Stop Confidential”, a one-act comedy about brokenhearted Timothy, played by Huddlestone, who is desperate to find companionship, as well as relieve his sexual frustrations. While waiting for a bus Timothy meets Taylor, played by Tristen Wybou, an intellectual young lady who he connects with while partaking in several philosophical and intimate conversations. Sparks fly between the pair as they shift into discussion about politics, hitting some of Prince Rupert’s darker tendencies head on, religion and the real world.

D a v i d Smook and Jeff Bill took on the stage with “Hot Judge Sundae”, which was produced by Lyle McNish. In each presentation of “Hot Judge Sundae”, Justices Smook and Bill of the seventh Circuit Court preside over “the case of the day”, a different crime with each performance. Both Bill and Smook played a number of characters during the improvised set, including the criminals and lawyers. Chris Armstong was also featured in the hilarity as the court’s bailiff. Additionally, with suggestions from the audience, the pair also provided some comical improvised skits.

With the popularity of last N o v e m b e r ’s “War of Wits” i m p r o v c o m e d y debate show, organizers decided to add it to UdderFest this year in what may possibly become an annual show during the festival. Chris Armstrong hosted the late evening debates on Saturday, with the help of Lyle McNish, who was the timekeeper. Local debaters included Monica LambYorski, Jeff Bill, Steph St. Laurent, Jeff Bill, David Smook, Stephen Huddlestone, Jen Rice, and Andy Enns, who were broken up into teams to compete against one another. In the end, both teams tied the event.

Twi-Lite 2

Two Girls Singing

The Wizard of Cow Bay

Audiences enjoyed writer Rudy Kelly’s sidesplitting and quick-witted comedy in his sequel to last UdderFest’s hit “Twi-Lite”, a comedic spoof of the popular vampire series, directed by Treena Decker. The show c o n t a i n e d everything audiences are looking for; humor, romance and of course, a little blood. Heather MacRae played Bella, a young emotionless girl who is in love with a vampire named Deadwood, played by Matt Murray. The two must overcome evil vampire Victoria, played by Celena Olson, who is out to kill Bella, as well as convince bigwig vampires played by Ali Murray, Rhianna Rimmer, and John Farrell, that their love affair is not wrong. Other familiar characters included Prince Rupert’s own Brian Payne, who although looks nothing near Hollywood actor Taylor Lautner, still stuck close to the character from the series by being shirtless virtually all of his time on stage, along with his fellow werewolf buddy Pill, played by Chrys Thompson. Other local talents featured in “Twi-lite 2; Eclipse of the New Moon” included Meghan MacRae, Noah Ferland, Natasha Dover, Clark Spence, Dan Bubas and a special guest appearance by Kelly himself.

“Two Girls Singing” was not a misleading title for the performance, as it was exactly what it sounds like, two young female performers, Julia Campbell and Anne McNish, showcasing their respectable musical skills. Campbell and McNish decided to be a musical pair in the festival because according to them they’re aren’t very funny, which worked out perfectly as the two brought some variety to the festival’s line up as the only performance that wasn’t a skit. Both Campbell and McNish performed a number of solo covers during the ladies set, as well as Campbell showcasing an original song she wrote after a trip to South Africa. Campbell played a variety of instruments during the performances including the guitar, bongo drum, the mandolin and harmonica, while McNish kept it simple for herself and stuck with playing the guitar and singing. The girls did a terrific job with having the audience involved in the show by having the crowd help create the beat with clapping and foot stomping to “Punk Rock Girl”, as well as having members of the crowd help out by playing the tambourine and shaker in another song.

Revenge of the Variety Show Rob Shearer from Boom Jr. hosted “Revenge of the Variety Show” that took place on two evenings during the festival and consisted of stand-up and comedy sketches, as well as some trombone playing. Prince Rupert’s own comedy group, the Page Boys, made up of Lyle McNish, Michael Gurney and Andy Enns, helped out with the hilarious show, as well as Prince Rupert’s own Trombone Trio, consisting of Alex Hembroff, Chris Colussi, and Andy Enns, who all showcase their musical skills.

Since 2000 the Kids Camp has become a popular part of UdderFest, bringing future generation actors and actress up on stage to provoke a love of the performing arts. This year Treena Decker led over 20 children in the Habour Theater Society’s UdderFest Children’s Camp to carry out “The Wizard of Cow Bay”, a local spin on the popular story “Wizard of Oz”. Decker received help with all of the children from past camp-attendees, Stephen Huddlestone and Robyn Massecar, who are now both very active in the theatre. Included in the play were a number of recognizable characters, like Dorothy, and a few with a spin, such as the Aluminum Man, Fordo the cat, and the Wicked Witch of the South-East.

◆ DEADLINE NEARING

Additionally, the club is looking for over thirty people to help out on the day of the race. Since the first race was held in 2004, when there were only 67 people racing, it has grown into an all ages race and has doubled in participants size, with organizers expecting over 160 runners at this September’s race. “It’s evolved from a running race to a more of a family affair,” said Race Director Bob Cuthbert.

Participants can either run or walk a half-marathon, or 21.2 k, or can do a lighter distance of 10 k, or 5 k. Children can also enjoy in the healthy activities by partaking in the free children’s 1 k walk or run, and receive a free t-shirt. On September 17, the races will start at 11 a.m. when participants of the 10 k walk and half marathon starting their journey. At 11:30 a.m. children partaking in the 1 k fun run will set out on their race, and at noon participants in the 5 k walk or run and 10 k walk or run will depart. People wanting to register in the race are asked to register before Friday, September 2, with forms bring available at the club’s

website at www.rupertrunners.com under the Cannery Road Race section. After filling out the registration form, people are asked to mail the form to Rupert Runners, P.O. Box 22093, RPO Downtown, Prince Rupert, BC, V8J. Cuthbert says that the Club is always looking for volunteers to help out with races and encourages anyone interested in volunteering for the race to attend the volunteer meeting happening on Thursday, August 11, when the club will be hosting a meeting on the topic at the Prince Rupert Public Library in the All-Purpose room at seven p.m. (Black Press markets ad).ai 28/7/2011 BVEDA 4722c

◆ IN THE ROUGH

A great weekend of golf By Moe Hays The Northern View Great golf week, the best, in a long while. The His ‘N Hers was a nice event, attracting 40 players, including, a Grand Father/Grand Daughter team of Kevin Waite and Brittany. The Low score, in the Alternate shot event was recorded by Sandy Anderson and Audrey Bryar (87), edging former winners Cynthia and Danziel Rosario by one stroke. The Northern Savings partnership of Bill Nicholls and Josie Lam were very sharp and took a five shot victory, with Carol and Mark Bryant in second place. Alain and Margaret Chan finished a half stroke back in third spot. This was another trip to the prize table for Josie Lam, as she partnered with Janet Sheppard in the Ladies event in Terrace and was a member of a winning team in Kitimat. In Ladies Day golf last Tuesday, Cynthia Rosario topped the Gross with a 49. In the special scoring competition, involving a calculation

of strokes and putts, Judy Fraser was the winner. Closest to the Pin awards went to Patrizia Stevens and Jean Eby. Long Drivers were Jean Eby, Carol Schaeffer and Annette Richards., while the Long Putt was sunk by Rita Danielle. Men, playing on Wednesday afternoon were entertained by the SnowBirds practice, but managed to play some fine golf. Layne Young shot an even par 70 for Low Gross by six strokes over Ian Robinson. Andrew Schaeffer recorded the Low Net at 62, followed by John Hunt. Danny Wright had his irons working, taking two K.P. awards, as did Layne Young, Trevpor Clouthier and Robert McDonald. Chris Troutman hit the Long Drive on the 18th hole. This weekend Junior golfers will play a two day, 36 hole tournament. As well as young local golfers will compete for the Club Championship. The field, while likely small in numbers, will be high in energy as golfers from the four Northern courses gather in Prince Rupert.

Some of the people who come over here have 4070-720 lived in the villages for most of their lives, and they come to Prince Rupert,” said Martin. “We have to let them know that this is what is required to work in offices or working at the port for example. 10:00 am - 11:30 am You have to change Sunday’s 10:00 am - 2:00pm your lifestyle, you have to be on time and such. And another thing we have to warn them of is not to fall through the cracks.” 950 1ST AVE. WEST 250-624-6117
