A First Nations dispute over traditional territory has forced work on the Northwest Transmission lines outside of Terrace to be stopped, at least temporarily. Last weekend, a geo-technical drill crew from BC Hydro were working on the transmission line project at a site located off of highway 16 near Terrace, when a group of “cultural monitors” from the Lax Kw’alaams First Nation arrived and told the crew they were not allowed to work there. “They were setting up at the site when a group of men from Lax Kw’alaams drove up and started handing out fliers saying that they must work. So the crew followed our protocol and immediately

left...In our view the site that we were setting up on was Kitsumkalum territory,” explains BC Hydro’s Executive VP of the Northwest Transmission Line project, Greg Reimer. The transmission line project is expected to go through the traditional territory of eight different First Nations groups. While BC Hydro has negotiated agreements for the use of the land with five of those groups including the Kitsumkalum First Nation, they don’t have one with Lax Kw’alaams. It was because of this that BC Hydro’s workers were told to leave by Lax Kw’alaams’ small force of “cultural monitors” who make sure that the First Nations territorial rights are being enforced. “Our cultural monitors explained to them that we have no agreement in place, and asked them to leave, and that’s what
happened,” says Lax Kw’alaams band councillor, Bob Moraes. But according to Reimer, even though the workers did leave when asked, BC Hydro’s position is that the site is the territory of Kitsumkalum and that work will begin there again soon under that assumption. Moraes admits that the because Lax Kw’alaams’ and Kitsumkalum’s territories are right next to each other, it causes some overlap and the distinction on who has the right to what piece of land can often be a matter of debate. He is trying to resolve the issue by drawing up a map that would clearly define his nation’s territory, which he believes will show that the construction site is inside Lax Kw’alaams’ territory in an area that is not also claimed by Kitsumkalum.

The band councillor says that the compensation package BC Hydro offered the First Nation for being able to impinge on their territory rights was completely inadequate, and accuses BC Hydro of not being serious about finding an acceptable agreement. “We don’t like the cookie-cutter approach when they say” this is what we’ve got, take it or leave it,” says Moraes. Despite Moraes willingness to continue negotiations, Lax Kw’alaams has been opposed to the Northwest Transmission Line project quite some time, and that opposition was reflected in the comments from their Chief councillor Gary Reece on the incident. “Lax Kw’alaams has been extremely frustrated by the lack of respect shown by Hydro to our aboriginal rights and title interests and they have absolutely refused to negotiate in good faith to ensure our interests and concerns for the NTL are built into their plans,” says Reece. “No Agreement with Hydro, no Northwest Transmission Lines on our traditional territory.”
BC First Nations growing a better relationship with Chinese market By Alan S. Hale The Northern View Last week, the First Nations Summit said that any Chinese companies that want to develop a mine and drill for oil or natural gas in BC, they will have to have the involvement of the local First Nations from the area and that Chinese companies are already contacting First Nations groups about developing projects like those on their traditional lands. During the summit, member organizations passed a variety of resolutions that are making up an overall strategy that would see First Nations doing much more direct business with the Chinese
companies, instead of going through middle-men like the Provincial Government. Lax Kw’alaams is currently the only First Nation in the entire province with a trade office actually located in China. China’s near-endless demand for raw resources has already been a boon for Prince Rupert and its port too, which is growing while most post on the west coast of North America are finding themselves in a slump. The Prince Rupert Port Authority says it is hopeful that any new projects that spring up between the Chinese and BC First Nations will bring more businesses through the city on its way to China.

◆ ECONOMIC FUTURE
Mayor Mussallem says city’s economy certain to grow By Monica Lamb-Yorski The Northern View Prince Rupert is beginning to hear back from its July letterwriting campaign where it asked various business chains to consider setting up shop in the community and that is adding to Mayor Jack Mussallem’s optimism for the future. “We are getting some responses to the Prince Rupert and Port Edward Economic Development Corporation initiative to encourage business development in the retail sector in the community that would complement existing retail businesses here,” the Mayor said Thursday. The initiative, he added, has generated some awareness. While he wouldn’t divulge any particular company names, the Mayor suggested there have been inquiries and various entities looking around Prince Rupert for appropriate store space. Individual property owners that have retail space available have also contacted the PREDC, and requested that the information about their store spaces be posted on the corporation’s website retail space inventory list.
Back in the fall, when PREDC officer Derek Baker first developed the inventory list, only some building owners responded. Now that list is growing. “We’ve had more since then and it’s good because it’s having a positive effect. People are again looking at Prince Rupert. They are recognizing the growth and development that Prince Rupert is experiencing,” the Mayor said. Eager to share statistics, he reiterated that earlier this year the City learned from the provincial government that Prince Rupert’s population had increased by 996 people in 2010. “Of course the longshoremen have told me they used to have 80 people working out of their hall, they now have 300. There are 58 people a day going to work at Watson Island and stuffing containers. We know that Kristoff Trucking has 21 drivers working for them and the new Scallop Hatchery is growing their brood stock and has about 12 people working there. We’re also aware there are 12 people that will have jobs down at the CN rail yard where they’re also stuffing lumber in containers.” Ridley Terminals has also been hiring and is now

expanding, he added. The City has also had discussions with parties interested in further use of Watson Island, whether it’s through use of the dock to ship logs or lumber, or handling of wood waste and fish offal to create a fertilizer. While the City is involved in legal battles over its attempts to sell the former pulp mill site, with both Sun Wave, the former owner, and the First Nations community of Kitkatla, the Mayor said he is feeling optimistic the City will be able to sell the property and have it back on the tax roll.

Someone burns shrine to deceased Ruperite By Alan S. Hale

Fire breaks out at the memorial for Ashley.
The Northern View The mother of Ashley Coveyduck, is heartbroken that the tree that served as a shrine to her daughter was burned down by someone last week. According to officials from BC Forestry, which responded to reports of a tree burning along the Highway 16, the burning of the dead woman’s shrine was determined by responders to be man-made. A fire cause investigator was sent out to determine the specific cause, but wasn’t able to come up with conclusive evidence as to what ignited the blaze, she said. “We do know it was unlikely to be a cigarette,” she said, adding that it was also determined that no accelerants were present. Only about 20 per cent of the tree burned in the blaze and that was a rotting part in its base. “The tree is still structurally sound so it will remain standing,” she said. Ashley Coveyduck’s mother, Jennifer Marks worries that somebody went out of their way to destroy the tree which marks the spot where her daughter drowned in the Skeena in 2009 after her car went off the road into the river. “My mother phoned me at work and told me that somebody had burnt the whole tree down, and that there was water everywhere, that she didn’t know if the fire trucks came out and put it out, and that everything’s gone,” says Marks while struggling to hold back tears. The tree, known as “Ashley’s tree” by the family, was covered in pictures and a large cross to commemorate Ashley’s life. The BC Forestry Service did go down the highway to put out the tree which had apparently candled, a burn pattern where the fire climbs up and consumes the tree. No trees other than Ashley’s tree caught fire.

OPINION
MY VIEW…
Trip shows need for new RCMP building... If you want to know just one of the reasons that a new RCMP detachment in Prince Rupert makes sense, take a quick drive down Highway 16 and check out some of the other locales. It’s something I did by bicycle last year during the Cops for Cancer Tour de North, although the request for a new RCMP detachment wasn’t as formalized as it is now, and it really blew my mind when it comes to the differences. This past weekend my girlfriend and I made a trip to Prince George for a wedding and, although the thought of a potential referendum on a new building was way in the back of my mind, it was a bit of a reminder of how outdated and generally sketchy the Prince Rupert detachment is. The Village of Burns Lake, a town with a population of about 2,100 people according to the 2006 census, boasts a much newer, multi-level facility with plenty of office space and two bays for the storage of things like snowmobiles, ATVs etc... It’s got a new elevator and the cells are significantly separated from where the officers do their work. In New Hazelton, another community that doesn’t even come close to Prince Rupert in terms of population, they also have a newer multi-level building with a fenced back area, a more welcoming entrance area and office space comparable to the lower level of the Prince Rupert facility. While these places also have to look after rural areas, there isn’t the same requirements in terms of looking after villages that are only accessible by boat, and the rural section and the main officers are all in the same building, unlike Rupert. I could go on, but I think you get the gist of where this is going. Prince Rupert’s detachment not only looks small and
run down from the outside (although it is being painted), it doesn’t hold a candle to the interior of the buildings in towns that are well below half our size. Yes the look of the building is superficial, but newer buildings are inherently better equipped to deal with policing requirements that simply didn’t exist when the current building was constructed. They would also be better suited to house the current force and would undoubtedly play a bit more of a role when it comes to morale and retention.
The officers in Prince Rupert go above and beyond to not only look after the safety of residents in the City but in the outlying villages and areas. They’re also dealing with a higher case load than the provincial average and work on serious cases. I think it’s incumbent on the City to provide them the best working environment possible, and that is not the current configuration. So bring on the referendum this fall. I certainly know how I’ll be voting...

Drawing the line between true stories and tall tales For a place with so many stories, the Northwest Coast has surprising few good old-fashioned tall tales. In my newspaper days I always had to dig pretty deep to find a ghost story for the Hallowe’en edition. Our version of the tall tale is instead usually an undercurrent of myth, urban legend blended with fact, in retelling our actual history. I was reminded of an example of this by a widely reported story about a brass propeller being stolen in Vancouver last Friday. The fellow who owned it said he’d salvaged it from the wreck of the packer Texada, a boat reportedly once owned by Al Capone. Just about every waterfront in North America must have at least one boat with purported links to Capone. I’m reminded of the Alpaca, last seen in these parts about a decade ago. The Alpaca’s Capone story was a hoary old waterfront tale by the time I arrived here.

It was instead of an American robber baron leading believable to link the two; the Fitz Hugh, the charge on what John Houston famously with actual connections to Capone, survived described in 1909 as “the story of a thousand as the Vancouver yacht Virginia Hope.

But in the end the tall tales just detract from the true stories. Good writers want their stories rich with authentic detail. Last week a writer researching a story asked us how many buildings survived at North Pacific Cannery (29), and what sort of trees grew across the Slough on Smith Island (spruce, hemlock and cedar). That attention to detail is a far cry from taking the old stories at face value and running with them. The thing is that the true stories of this place are incredibly rich and diverse. From the big stories, such as the founding of Metlakatla or the building of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway, to the little stories, such as the Battle of Kelly’s Cut or the recovery of the Kazu Maru, there’s no need to make anything up. I’m not above the occasional tall tale, but in the case of Prince Rupert the truth is far more interesting every single time.

◆ TRANSPORTATION
New ferry terminal in Klemtu officially opened on Friday Klemtu is now on the tourism and economic map thanks to a new ferry terminal that officially opened on August 12. “The new ferry terminal at Klemtu will provide greater economic opportunity for the community and will benefit the whole region,” said North Coast MLA Gary Coons. “It was an honour to participate and acknowledge the importance of this piece of transportation infrastructure. The Kitasoo/ Xai’Xais have been working on this for decades and it’s great to see it come to fruition. ” Many nations from near and afar, and friends, were there to support the Kitasoo/ Xai’Xais Nation who hosted a fabulous feast for the hundreds of guests and visitors. 58 elders, singers, dancers and drummers came all the way from Gitxaala Nation to perform and wow the 100’s of people in attendance. North Coast MLA Gary Coons and MP Denise Savoie (Victoria) were on hand to help cut the cedar ribbon with MC Ross Neasloss and respected elder Violet Neasloss…( Violet Neasloss at 97 is the last fluent speaker of the southern Tsiamshian dialect.) Also unveiled was a canoe and a totem that welcomes one and all to the gateway of the spirit bear. The terminal project includes a larger ferry berth located in deeper water that accommodates BC Ferries’ 638-passenger capacity vessel Northern Expedition.
“The ship, which plies the popular Inside Passage route, not only provides reliable transportation for coastal residents but also offers visitors an adventure tourism experience and opportunity to view B.C.’s amazing wildlife,” said Coons. “It also allows the Northern Adventure to have a rest during the winter months and the Expedition to travel the winter waters from Prince Rupert to Haida Gwaii. This has been a concern for many years, as we have seen a few wild rides on the Northern Adventure due to the weather.” “It gives the Kitasoo/ Xai’Xais people more reliable and frequent ferry service and brings visitors to this spectacular location that offers unparalleled kayaking, hiking and eco-tours,” Kitasoo/ Xai’Xais Chief Doug Neasloss said. He anticipates greater economic opportunities for the community. “The terminal means it will be easier and safer for Klemtu residents to access education, as well as deliver our fish and other products to market. Klemtu is the gateway to the Spirit Bear and we welcome the world to visit us.”

◆ INCREASED DEMAND
CN to expand facility that ships cargo to Prince Rupert By DeLynda Pilon The Prince George Free Press The Canadian National Railway in Prince George will be hiring about 25 more employees, nearly doubling its workforce, as it goes ahead with a $3.2 million expansion of the Prince George Distribution Centre. The expansion will allow the company to go from stuffing 400 containers per day to 700. The expansion comes as a result of increased demand in the Asian market, a change that has positively affected the centre since 2010. Exports are shipped by rail to the Prince Rupert facility then are sent overseas, taking advantage of the 58 hours in transit time saved via this route. “Naturally, we’re delighted with their expansion, and look forward to the positive impact this will undoubtably have on both the economy of the region and on the corridor leading to Prince Rupert as a shipping gateway,” says Prince Rupert Port Authority representative, Michael Gurney. When it first opened, the centre employed five people and stuffed about 30 containers
per week. Since the Asian boom in 2010, work at the centre has continued to increase exponentially. “This is another sign of our improving and diversifying economy,” said Mayor Dan Rogers. Steve Allen, the facilities manager for CN said they will be utilizing the facility in the way it was originally designed. The expansion will include taking advantage of two-thirds of the eight acres in the north yard to increase lay down capacity. They will also build another stuffing shed similar to one that was revamped last year at a cost of $350,000. The new one will be replicated in the north yard and be used in

tandem with the one currently in use. Additional track and equipment will add to the transload capacity of the facility. Currently two full shifts of employees work Monday to Friday at the CN yard, with single shifts on Saturday and Sunday. Following the upgrade, there will likely be two shifts running a 24-hour operation with the ability to increase its lumber transload capacity to more than 30,000 containers annually.
The District of Port Edward received an offer to help open the new skateboard park in style next month, but so far are unable to commit due to concerns about insurance. A letter from Loaded Sports employee Jeremy Mathison pitched the idea of opening the brand new skate park on Sunday, September 11, with a free skateboard and bike competition complete with prizes and a sound system provided by the business. Plans also included a fundraising barbecue at the event to benefit the Port Edward volunteer fire department
Loaded Sports would also make helmets mandatory and require participants to sign a waiver provided by either the business or the District of Port Edward as has been done for events at the park in Prince Rupert. The only thing asked of the District was to cover the cost of the insurance for the event, which is something Mayor Dave MacDonald says was a concern at the moment. “We don’t have a policy yet on the skateboard park. It can’t be covered under a policy which sees us pay $200 and the organizers pay $30 or $40 because skateboard parks aren’t covered under that. We are covered under the municipal insurance if we’re the ones

organizing it. We can’t just say to the businesses ‘go ahead and do it’,” he said. “Another thing that concerns me is the noise because they do talk about having music and speakers. We do have to consider the residents living in the area.” Another concern is that Chief Administrative Officer Ron Bedard, who normally looks after insurance matters, is on vacation and when he gets back an event on September 11 would be too short of notice to hold the event. “By no means am I against it...They’ll just have to have it later than the September 11 date they wanted,” he said.

◆ SHAMES MOUNTAIN
City council turns down funding for My Mountain Co-op By Monica Lamb-Yorski The Northern View Prince Rupert City Council has turned down a request from My Mountain Co-op for $200,000 toward the purchase of Shames Mountain Ski Hill. The co-op has been trying to raise $2 million to purchase the facility, to buy the equipment, pay off a loan to the provincial government, and plan for upgrades. Mayor Jack Mussallem confirmed Thursday the council met in-camera with a representative from the co-op in July and deliberated after the meeting that the City cannot afford to help out financially at this time. “The council listened to a presentation, and then subsequent to that, the council deliberated. And while the council supports it and has written letters of support and

letters encouraging the ongoing operations of it as a regional facility, the council could not obligate itself to contribute $200,000 financially or by a letter of irrevocable credit,” the mayor said. It all hinges in the present financial status of the City, he added. “The next three years the City will still have to continue on as it is now, and that is that we’ve had to defer a lot of things and deny requests from various opportunities, whether they are local or regional, just because we don’t have the wherewithal without a significant tax increase.” If the City were to give $200,000 toward something, the way the budgets are set up in Prince Rupert, that’s equivalent to a two percent tax increase, he explained. “Could the community afford to contribute what is an additional two percent tax increase if you’re giving something outright or a portion of that,

op were to come two, three or even four years from now, it might be easier for all the communities to contribute. “At this point, it’s just not really possible, but let’s not lose sight of the fact that there are benefits gleaned from having some sort of regional facility. It does enhance people’s lives and more opportunities for people to recreate. Over the years when people are moving into an area they not only look at their jobs, but they look at quality of life.” Nobody would like to see the loss of the facility, he added.

For the fifth year in a row, the Prince Rupert Salvation Army will be giving out backpacks to students who are heading back to school next month but might not be able to afford one. If you have a child who needs a backpack for back to school but money is tight, you can get one at the Salvation Army Church between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. on August 30 and 31. “We’re just giving out backpacks to family who could use them,” says Cpt. Gary Shiels of the Salvation Army, th “We do somewhere around 300 to 325 backpacks every year.” Backpacks of every size and kind are being donated to the Salvation Army from the Prince Rupert Rotary Club and Northern Savings Credit Union and every backpack contains a coupon for 15 per cent off school supplies at the Bargain Shop. In past years the group also have out school supplies 10:00 am - 11:30 am with the backpacks, but Shiels says that this year Sunday’s 10:00 am - 2:00pm they decided to forgo the free supplies and get more backpacks instead.

especially if you were going to have a loan and service the loan?” When asked why the discussion with the co-op took place in-camera, Mussallem said the request to make a presentation in-camera came from the co-op. “After the presentation, council carried on with the discussion,” Referring to the fact that the City of Terrace has also declined at this point to financially support the co-op’s, Mussallem said he couldn’t speak for Terrace, but felt it was a reflection of what’s been the reality of cities in the northwest. “You’re talking about communities that over the last 12 years have had hardship, losses of industry, and loss of employees in communities, which means they’ve had a loss of population. And while we are starting to hear about economic development in the region, the communities at this point don’t have the depth to consider the request.” Looking to the future and proposed developments, Mussallem forecasted if the request from My Mountain Co-

â—† REDESIGN
RTI updates Port Ed on expansion By Shaun Thomas The Northern View Mathew LaFiandra of Ridley Terminals was at the August 9 meeting of Port Edward council to provide an update on the current expansion, although he told council expansion may not be the best word to describe what is happening out on Ridley Island. “A lot of people are looking at this as an expansion, but it’s more of a redesign. It will not change what we do on the water, it’s really just upping the efficiency of our operation because the dock we have is really a 24 million tonne dock,� he explained. “It’s stretching our yard out and making the facility longer, but the systems and how everything works is not really changing....Functionally, there will be little difference in how the site operates.� Part of the plans call for some maintenance work on the two stacker/reclaimers to increase their efficiency, while a new, faster unit has been ordered and is being built in Europe before being barged over from China. The new unit, which LaFiandra said will be similar to when the cranes arrived in the harbour in terms of size and impact, be run at 6,200 tonnes per hour in reclaim, compared to the current 3,700, and 8,000 tonnes per hour stacking, compared to the current 6,300 tonnes per hour. The plan also calls for upping the rail on the site so that there will eventually be five inbound and four outbound rail lines related to the facility. That work, along with levelling some of the hills near the current site, will require blasting work to be done.
“We don’t expect the blasting period to last more than three to six months, and we’re not talking about explosions every day but more like a quarry. That will, of course, also include notification to the public,� he said. The expectation is that work will not only ramp up next year, but will continue into 2013 and 2014 and LaFiandra said the project will hold great benefit to the economy both during and after construction. “Obviously for the coming years there will be a lot of opportunity for contractors. We have a mandate from our board to make contracts as accessible as possible for local businesses,� he said. “When I first came up here in 2008 RTI had 40 employees and now we have about 115...We anticipate that there will be another 25 jobs once the project is done.� And while he and others from Ridley Terminals were at the meeting to get feedback from Port Edward residents through their elected officials, Mayor Dave MacDonald and others said they would much rather the company hold a public meeting in the community. “I think it is very important to talk to the rest of the community, particularly when there are concerns about coal dust. To just have us as public input from Port Edward, I don’t think that is good enough,� he said. “We’re supportive of this. When I see a coal train go by my house I’m glad to see it because that is about $10,000 into the economy, but with that comes responsibility...People are going to want you to be looking at monitors to measure and track the coal dust,� added councillor Knut Bjorndal.

BC exports up 14 per cent in 2011 By Martina Perry The Northern View British Columbia has experienced an increase of nearly 14 per cent in the amount of exports the Province made in the first six months of 2011, compared to the first six months of 2010, according Stats Canada. “2011 has been an encouraging year for B.C. exports. Every day our province is exporting $88 million worth of goods worldwide, a daily increase of more than $10 million compared to last year,� said Minister of Jobs, Tourism and Innovation, Pat Bell. In Statistics Canada’s report it states that BC’s international merchandise exports for the first half of 2011 are worth $15.9 billion, which is over a billion dollars more than last year’s half-year amount of $14 billion. The largest areas of growth being recorded are industrial goods, which is up by 20 per cent, energy projects that increased by 17 per cent, and forestry projects, which are up by 13 per cent. Other areas of gain include agricultural products, fishing
products, machinery and equipment and automotive products. The highest increase of international exports was made by Asia, up by 49 per cent. The value of softwood lumber exports being made to Asia is now surpassing the value of exports made to the United States by approximately 6.8 million dollars. “We’re achieving this growth directly to our ability to diversify B.C.’s export markets. Given the recent economic troubles in the U.S., it is imperative we continue this successful export market development strategy and builds on B.C.’s successes in Asia,� said Bell.

can then bring together into a informal network of health services for men throughout the region. “This initiative recognizes that the problem of Men’s health can be handled by Northern Health alone, not even close. We need lots of regional partners to deal with a problem like this,” says Bowering. “Part of the reason that Women and children aren’t as healthy as they’d like to be, is that men are really unhealthy, as a generalization. The premise is that a healthier man will be able to be better fathers, better brothers, better supports for their partners, and they will help build better communities,” says Bowering.
