A potash export facility in Prince Rupert took another step closer to reality on Monday as the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency announced the opening of public comment for Canpotex’s planned terminal on Ridley Island. The agency is inviting people to submit comment between now and September 30 to help guide Canpotex as they proceed with the assessment. “The project is still in the very early stage for an environmental assessment. We have a document online to give some background on the project and as we start to move forward we want to hear from the public,” said Maxine Leger-Haskell of

the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency. “It’s really a great way for people to get familiar with the project and raise issues that are important to the local community so that we can include those in the environmental assessment process.” This is the first of a minimum of three public comment periods, and Leger-Haskell said it’s an important one for the project going ahead. “After the first public comment period we submit to the proponent a list of the studies we need for the project,” she said, adding that the number of studies required will play a role in dictating the timeline for the review. “Future public comment periods will be announced later, once certain milestones in the project have been hit along the
way.” As well as taking comments from the public, the Agency is making $50,000 available under its Participant Funding Program to help residents or those who feel they may have a stake in the project get involved in the assessment. A representative for Canpotex declined comment at this time. Anyone wishing to comment can do so by writing: Canpotex Potash Terminal Project Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency Jack Smith, Project Manager 410–701 West Georgia Street Vancouver BC V7Y 1C6 They can also be faxed to 604-666-6990 or submitted via e-mail to CanpotexEA@ ceaa-acee.gc.ca

Leaders react to HST defeat By Shaun Thomas The Northern View
September 17th, 2011
Voters on the North Coast overwhelmingly voted in favour of scrapping the Harmonized Sales Tax, according to numbers from Elections BC. In the riding 6,149 people cast their votes in the referendum with 4,131, or 67.18 per cent, voting to return to the PST/ GST system. Only 2,018 people, or 32.82 per cent, voted to keep the HST. “I am pleased with the result as it appears that the people of British Columbia won over the arrogance of the Liberal government and its powerful friends. It is a victory for democracy in times where we must question bad decisions by those in power. The people of B.C. sent a clear message to the government – that our 10:00 am - 11:30 am voices must be heard and our democratic Sunday’s 10:00 am - 2:00pm rights respected,” said North Coast MLA Gary Coons. “Those on the North Coast showed strongly what they thought of this government’s lies and deceptions.

◆ BACK TO SCHOOL
Superintendent talks changes in the upcoming school year By Shaun Thomas The Northern View On September 6 students from across the city will be heading back to school in a district that looks much different than when the final bell rang in June. “Our schools are looking fantastic, the maintenance and custodial staff have gone above and beyond to get the schools ready. We’ve had a lot of change in the past year and moving teachers and staff and all those moves have happened. Everyone’s stuff is
where it should be so we’re ready to start,” said superintendent Lynn Hauptman. “I think people are pretty excited and raring to go.” For the older students Prince Rupert Secondary School, which served students from grade eight to grade 12, is no more and Prince Rupert Middle School, which will serve students in grades six, seven and eight, is getting ready for its first year. Charles Hays Secondary School, which also ran from grades 8 to 12, is now the lone secondary school in town and will welcome
all students from grade nine up. “In the middle school we’ve opened up the front office space and a hallway upstairs to give it more of a middle school feel, and in Charles Hays we’ve put in a new art room,” explained Hauptman. “There’s also some new logos that have been designed. The Prince Rupert Middle School will have the PRMS Storm while Charles Hays will be the Rainmakers.” The remaining elementary schools will now run from kindergarten to grade five while

Work on the new location has been taking place throughout the summer. “It will be right down to the wire, but sections of it should be ready to go for the opening,” said Hauptman. “As a special school they have interviews and an introductory orientation with outdoor activities for the first bit, so it should be ready when the focus really turns to the classrooms.” And while there is a lot of changes coming on the ground, the district is also getting ready to launch a new presence on the internet. “With our new website, there is work behind the scenes. Right now we’re operating on the old one and the new one,” explained Hauptman. “The new website will be more streamlined and accessible.”

OPINION
MY VIEW…
Remembering Jack Layton’s legacy... Out of all of the Federal party leaders that have come and gone since I really began following politics just after high school, there’s no question Jack Layton seemed like the most real. With Jack Layton it seemed like the person you saw on the TV was the same person you’d get if you sat down with him in a bar or a Tim Horton’s to grab a drink. When he was listening to people talk, you really got the sense he was truly listening and taking in their concerns. He didn’t seem to carry any questionable airs about him. The role he played and the impact he had on the Canadian political system can not be denied. A quick look at the results will show you that when Jack Layton took over from Alexa McDonough he took the party from 13 seats to 19 seats in the 2004 election, more than doubled that 13-seat number to 29 seats in the 2006 election, gained eight more seats in 2008 and this year thrust the party into Official Opposition territory with 103 seats while pretty much wiping the Bloc Quebecois off the map and leaving the Liberals a distant third. And while it can’t all be attributed to Jack Layton the Liberal Party fell from 135 seats in the 2004 election, his first as NDP leader, to just 34 seats in 2011. Jack Layton had a way of connecting with the Canadian public, with youth and seniors alike, and unfortunately
left before we were able to what he was truly capable of. “My friends, love is better than anger. Hope is better than
fear. Optimism is better than despair. So let us be loving, hopeful and optimistic. And we’ll change the world” - Jack Layton.
~ Shaun Thomas
Ferry Commissioner conducting a review of BC Ferries On Saturday a group of community and tourism leaders met with Gord Macatee, BC Ferry Commissioner, and Sheldon Stoilen, Deputy Commissioner. With his appointment as Ferry Commissioner on May 1, Gord Macatee determined that the interests of ferry users, and the means to address them, had not yet been well defined. He suggested that government authorize and fund a review of the legislation and governance model by the Ferry Commissioner. On May 24 the province introduced legislation to support this review. Otherwise, after nine years of being told we were idiots for not understanding why black was really white, somebody is prepared to listen to those of us who rely on BC Ferries. Indeed that was the tone of the meeting. Gord and Sheldon proved to be open and understanding, and really listened to the community and business leaders who had gathered to meet them. Contrast that with the flashy BC Ferries consultation meeting here with Mr. Hahn and his management team on November 30, 2009. After that one Councillor Sheila Gordon-Payne said, “It was certainly not
a consultation. There was a idea of the northern ferry service total disregard for the people Talking tourism being economically sustainable who spoke and one resident in and of itself and should be further subsidized if necessary.

With the economic downturn in coastal northern tourism industry, and should be BC, BC Ferries jobs have helped sustain considered an important part of the provincial employment, and these jobs need to stay in highway system. We do not support the coastal communities such as Prince Rupert.
We specifically addressed the issue of rising fares. BC Ferries is now experiencing their lowest ridership in 20 years. At least in the North reduced tourism is not to blame. In northern BC at mid-summer Visitor Centre visitation was up 13.5per cent over year previous, and at the same time in Prince Rupert hotel revenues were at their highest level in over ten years. The real issue is skyrocketing fares, increased by over 60 per cent in the past ten years, and domestic price resistance leading to BC residents and many visitors finding alternatives to travel on BC Ferries. Many other issues were raised at the meeting. Another key concern was that BC Ferries had no inclination, and no binding reason, to listen to advisory committees or community consultations. They just had to have them. They didn’t have to listen. We are extremely supportive of this review by the Ferry Commission. I’m confident that Gord and Sheldon heard what we said, and not what they wanted to hear. I’m confident that this will be faithfully communicated to the province. I pray that the province heeds the recommendations of this review, and acts.

Looking at some of the crisp wines that deliver for summer order to reap the rewards I love to drink crisp For the love of wine of these crisp qualities. As white wines during the white wines bottle age the summer. Crispness is a crisp acidic and effervescent word that I use to describe aspects of the wine begin to wines with a combination deteriorate and can be lost of noticeable acidity and completely. These are truly an effervescent feel. the first elements in a wine I find that wines in this that begin to suffer as the style go down extremely ageing process takes place. It easy on a hot summer day. is actually usually a positive There is just something so characteristic of the red wine refreshing about it – a true ageing process – which seems adult summer soda pop – to fit, since there are not many for those days where root ANDREA POLLOCK of us who would enjoy an beer doesn’t pack enough overtly acidic or bubbly red punch. wine. The crispness effect Other more mellow qualities of a wine of white wines will only last so long in begin to show themselves over time in red the bottle. White wines that show these as these aspects fade. In white wines, once characteristics need to be consumed shortly the crisp qualities fade they can be replaced after their release (or the vintage date) in
with subtler flavours of ripe fruits or grassy notes, they may also leave a wine tasting flat if there is little depth of character in the flavour profile of the wine. This is why it is nice to consume these wines early, while the crisp qualities still have a chance to augment the overall tasting experience of the wine. Two white wines stick out in my mind as showing the great, desirable qualities of crispness and acidity. The first is a South African white – Douglas Greene the Beach House and a French wine; Arrogant Frog Ribet White. Both of these wines have great palate cleansing properties – nice crisp acidity and refreshing effervescence that is super energizing on a sunny day. Because I have recommended both of these wines in previous columns, I have chosen two new favourites that show similar characteristics.
Wines of the week Piesporter Treppchen Riesling 2008 – [Mosel, Germany] Not much to the nose of this wine, only a smell of tart citrus. The flavour is an interesting balance of sweetness, tartness and acidity. Flavours of juicy peach, dried apricots and orange tang. A great pairing for asian influenced dishes or for a spicey Indian curry. 88/100 (June 5th, 2011) NK’MIP Chardonnay 2006 – [VQA Okanagan Valley] Nice crisp oak notes, cedar wood, pine needles and some sour lemons. The flavours are dry with some grapefruit and lime zest, a touch of bitterness and oak shows up on the finish. A light style wine that would pair well with poached fish or crab cakes. 86/100 $16.99 (January 6th, 2011)
◆ LABOUR DAY OP-ED
BC Federation of Labour president looks at labour success By Jim Sinclair BC Federation of Labour Labour Day this year heralds the beginning of the B.C. Federation of Labour’s second century. As we greet the dawn of our second century, the BCFED today represents more than 450,000 members across British Columbia. And as our province has grown, so too has organized labour. Organized labour’s earliest days were not unlike the present: prosperous for many, yet turbulent. In 1911, the census counted British Columbia’s population at just under 393,000. The province was thriving, in part because of a roaring mining industry in the Kootenays, and a nascent forestry sector that sent countless carloads of lumber to the then-booming prairie provinces. Two transcontinental railways (the Grand Trunk Pacific and the Canadian Northern) were under construction, with thousands of workers laying steel rails across the province. Two years later, BC was hit with a
global economic downturn. Unemployment soared and the housing market crashed. In the following year, 1914, armed conflict erupted in Europe and Canadians soon were fighting in the First World War. British Columbia now is home to more than 4.5 million residents. Skyrocketing commodity prices have sparked impressive growth in the province’s mining, and oil and gas sectors, and our forest products are finding new markets in China and elsewhere. At the same time, the recent collapse in financial markets led to a painful, if thankfully brief, economic recession, and reminded British Columbians that we often are subject to forces beyond our control. Sadly, Canada in recent years has had soldiers serving overseas, many of whom sacrificed their lives in the name of our country. In its earliest days the labour movement was at the forefront of many battles, including the fight for a minimum wage, an eight-hour day, workers’ compensation and women’s suffrage. Victory came quickly on a few fronts
— a Workers’ Compensation Board was set up in 1916, and a minimum wage for women became law two years later. (Men received similar protection in 1925.) In 1917, women won the right to vote in provincial elections, and in 1918 a Department of Labour was established to represents workers’ interests. Other battles took longer to win. BC first enacted a law for an eight-hour day in 1899, but it applied only to miners working underground. Many decades were to pass before all workers won similar protection. More recently, the B.C. Federation of Labour won the fight for an increase in the province’s minimum wage, stuck at eight dollars an hour (with a ‘training wage’ of just six dollars) since 2001. The B.C. Federation of Labour is proud of its record of success and is dedicated to
protecting and helping workers and their families through the 21st Century. Together, we will continue to make British Columbia a safe and prosperous place to work and live.

◆ $1 MILLION GOAL
Terrion back in town to fundraise By Shaun Thomas The Northern View Last year Jim Terrion surpassed the $500,000 fundraising milestone for the Terry Fox Run, and on August 25 he arrive back in Prince Rupert to continue his work to reaching his ultimate goal of raising $1 million for the cause. “I’ll be staying in Prince Rupert for three weeks fundraising for the Terry Fox Run. I’ll be going doorto-door and to all the businesses,” wrote Terrion, noting that this year has more meaning given the passing of Terry Fox’s mother
earlier this year. “I was very sad that Betty Fox died on June 17. I will be going to Port Coquitlam, Terry Fox’s hometown, on September 18 and will be doing the walk there.” With $504,000 raised to date, Terrion said he is excited to continue support the Terry Fox Run, and is even looking at participating in an international event in the future. “I might be planning to go to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia for the Terry Fox Run. I’m not sure, but it would probably be in November of 213 or 2014,” he wrote, noting he has numerous friends in Malaysia.
“Right now it looks like there is about 3,000 people running and walking for Terry Fox in Kuala Lumpur.” The 31st annual Terry Fox Run in Prince Rupert will take place on Sunday, September 18. Registration opens at noon and the run starts from the Northern Savings Credit Union office at one p.m. Shaun Thomas photo

◆ JOB MARKET OUTLOOK
Report shows northwest not ready for construction boom By Shaun Thomas The Northern View
AT YOUR SERVICE
A report by the Northwest Transmission Line Labour Market Steering Committee indicates that the region is not ready to reap all the benefits from the line, and that the lack of available skilled workers in the northwest could increase the cost of the projects. The committee, made up of government, industry, education, economic development and non-profit stakeholders, says the northwest could find itself
competing with areas like Fort McMurray for skilled labourers and that new people coming into communities in the region could put strain on the social, cultural, educational and health services in the area. “There are thousands of shortand long-term jobs and billions of dollars in projects coming to the Northwest BC region, and the NTL will enable even more opportunities but the information in this report shows that we are not prepared. Many of the jobs coming to our area require specialized skills, and during the economic downturn we
had no way of funding training for future opportunities. Now the future is arriving and we need to ensure opportunities are available for our local residents,” said Rick Brouwer of the Skeena NassNass Center for Innovation in Resource Economics, who sat on the committee. According to the committee report, which also includes the Rio Tinto Alcan Modernization, Red Chris Mine and the Kitimat LNG Terminal, demand for labour is projected to be 1,000 jobs in 2011 and between 2,000 and 3,000 jobs fro 2012 to 2014. When including
Enbridge’s Northern Gateway and the expansion of port facilities in Prince Rupert, the projection is for demand to peak at 5,000 jobs in 2019. The report also projects a gap of over 1,000 employers to fill the jobs by 2012. The largest number of workers needed will be heavy equipment operators, construction trades helpers, drillers and blasters, contractors and supervisors and carpenters. “It’s not too late if we take action now and increase training and service capacity within our region, most of the upcoming

◆ A RECORD YEAR
By Shaun Thomas The Northern View CN Rail is touting the success of its Scheduled Grain Service Plan, pointing to a record year for shipping canola with the amount of canola shipped through Prince Rupert Grain matching a record. According to CN, over 125,000 grain cars made their way to either Vancouver or Prince Rupert in the last crop year, a period that ended on July 31, which is a 20-year high for CN. That traffic equated to 6.7 million tonnes being shipped to Vancouver and a sixth-straight year of four million tonnes being shipped to Prince Rupert Grain. While the amount of canola shipped by the terminal last month was down slightly, so far this year Prince Rupert Grain has shipped 34.5 per cent more canola than in the first seven months of 2010 and the overall traffic is up 4.8 per

cent to just under three million tonnes. “This is the most canola CN has ever moved in one crop year. Alberta farmers planted record acres of canola last year, enjoyed strong yields, and harvested a record crop. Our customers then did an excellent Shaun Thomas photo job of promoting Students from the Frieda Diesing School of Northwest Coast Art had and selling their art, which ranged from paintings to masks to jewelry to fabric the product creations, on display at the Museum of Northern BC as part of the in overseas Salmonberry Celebration last Thursday. markets,” said Andy Gonta, CN vicepresident of Bulk farmers and customers. vice-president, Operations, Products. “We listened to what our Western Region. While pleased with the customers were telling us, and “We expect another big year success of the plan and the learned some lessons about for the West Coast, and we’re increased volume, CN says it how to better collaborate across working with our customers to still plans to re-examine it and the entire grain supply chain,” ensure all available capacity is find better efficiencies for both said Mike Cory, CN senior used effectively.”

◆ REGISTER BY SEPTEMBER 9
Missing Women Commission visiting Rupert on September 12 Contributed The Northern View The Missing Women Commission of Inquiry today provided details of seven community forums it will host in northern British Columbia in the week of September 12 and again invited members of the communities and interested organizations to participate. In Prince Rupert the forum will take place on Monday, September 12 from one p.m. to five p.m. at Northwest Community College. If they have not already done so, individuals or organizations interested in participating in one of the forums should register with the Commission by e-mail, telephone or in writing by September 8,
2011. Written submissions must be received by the Commission by November 30, 2011. Contact information is as follows: Email: info@ missingwomeninquiry.ca Toll free 1-877-681-4470 Fax: 604-681-4458 Mail: #1402 – 808 Nelson Street, Vancouver, BC V6Z 2H2 Presenters should provide their name and contact information and a brief description of what issues they plan to address. The forums will be open to the public and the media. Please visit the Commission’s website – www. missingwomeninquiry.ca – and go to the page “Ways to Participate” for more information, including a list of frequently asked questions regarding the northern B.C.
community forums. The forums are open to members of the public and the media. The forums are part of the study commission portion of the inquiry. The Commission’s mandate includes a hearing commission and a study commission. The hearing commission portion will begin in Vancouver on October 11. A study commission employs less formal means than a hearing commission, such as research, individual consultations and public forums, to gather the information required to fulfill the mandate to develop recommendations for policy change. The community forums will not be adversarial, individuals will make their presentations directly to the commissioner and although questions may be posed
to participants by the commission counsel and the commissioner, there will be no cross examination. Under its terms of reference, the Commission must hold its formal hearings into various aspects of the Robert Pickton case in or near Vancouver. It cannot inquire into ongoing investigations of missing or murdered women, such as the Highway of Tears cases. However, the Commission has been asked to recommend changes considered necessary with respect to the initiation and conduct of investigations in B.C. of missing women and suspected multiple homicides, and to homicide investigations by more than one investigating organization, including the co-ordination of those investigations. Study commission
activities will be designed with this responsibility in mind. Additional forums may be held in the week of September 19. The purpose of the northern B.C. forums is to give members of the communities an opportunity to provide input to the Commission on issues within its mandate. This will help inform the Commission’s report and recommendations for the effective initiation and conduct of investigations of missing and murdered women. It will also allow the Commission to take into account the situation in specific communities. The Commission believes it is important to hear directly from family members who have been most affected by the tragedy of murdered and missing women.

Importance of the national Shoreline Cleanup stressed By Kolby Solinsky Black Press It spans from coast-to-coast and it’s uniting Canadians of all provinces. Whether you live near the Pacific Ocean in
British Columbia or one of Manitoba’s many lakes, or you reside along the St. Lawrence River and the mouth of the Atlantic, the 2011 Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup is your chance to get outdoors and help make Canadian coasts a little bit cleaner.
This summer could be a scorcher.
Nearly half of wildfires in British Columbia are caused by human carelessness. Please prevent and report wildfires. To report a wildfire, call *5555 on your cell. For more information, visit www.BCforestfireinfo.gov.bc.ca
The cleanup runs from September 17-25, and is put on through a partnership between the Vancouver Aquarium and the World Wildlife Fund. “Shoreline litter and aquatic debris is one of the greatest threats to out waterways,” said Jill Dwyer, program manager at the Aquarium and the Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup. “But, the great news is that it’s entirely preventable.” Last year’s event had 47,000 registrants and it exposed some shocking facts about our dirty habits. Canadians cleaned 2,236 kilometres of shoreline and removed over 98,000 kilograms of waste. Of that material, a whopping 227,830 cigarette butts were removed in 2010, as well as 83,660 food wrappers. Dwyer said this initiative is promising, but she hopes that participants will take away lessons that they can carry with them throughout the year and use to help others. “What we hope is that once you’re out cleaning on a shoreline, you’re going to be way less likely to litter or to just be more mindful of the problem in general and maybe educate your friends and family,” said Dwyer. Last week, organizers of the Shoreline Cleanup released their list of the dirtiest and cleanest shorelines in Canada, according to their findings from last year’s program. While nowhere in B.C. took the “prize” of the worst shoreline (that title went to Kingston,
Ontario’s Sydenham Lake), the province did have three waterways in the bottom five. Maple Ridge’s Kanaka Creek was labelled the second worst in Canada with 3,200 kilograms per kilometre, while Surrey’s Tom Hopkins Ravine Park Jill Dwyer and Brownsville Bar Park ranked fourth and fifth worst, respectively. However, Terrace’s Ferry Island was ranked as the fourth cleanest shoreline in Canada, with only 0.36 kilograms of garbage per kilometre. Wallaceburg, Ontario’s Running Creek in Crothers Conservation Area was the cleanest in Canada. Still, the amount of garbage that was found last year is a cause for concern for environmentalists and organizers. “The amount of litter that was removed is remarkable and, if neglected, could have serious impacts on the health of our waters,” said Tony Maas, director of the World Wildlife Fund’s Freshwater Program, to Black Press’s Jeff Nagel last week. This year’s event will be the 18th annual Canadian Canadian Shoreline Cleanup. Dwyer said past years have seen thousands of people get out and discover that they can enjoy a day outdoors that is spent moving towards a more environmental future. “It’s really a lot of fun and it’s a great way to connect with the community,” said Dwyer. “Plus, you’re going to be a part of this larger movement across Canada of everyone going out and taking care of their shorelines.” In Prince Rupert, the Shoreline Cleanup will focus on Hays Creek, and people are asked to come to meet outside of the Civic Centre at nine a.m. with the event running until noon.

◆ FIVE YEARS RUNNING
Vacation Bible School from Port Moody visitors wraps up By Martina Perry The Northern View For half a decade, members from the Port Moody Pacific Grace Mennonite Brethren Church have traveled up to Prince Rupert to help teach local children about their religion through Vacation Bible School, an enjoyable week-long program that teaches kids about God. “We are here to teach the children about God,” said Fiona Wu, who is the Children’s Ministry Lead from Port Moody Pacific Grace MB Church. “We do a lot of things [with the children] like singing songs, doing crafts, Bible stories, and games to teach them about God and The Bible that we believe
in.” Vacation Bible School kicked off in Prince Rupert five years ago when the senior pastor from the Port Moody Pacific Grace MB Church traveled through the small communities in between Prince George and Fort St. John. While he was in Prince Rupert the senior pastor connected with the local sister church, the Cornerstone Mennonite Brethren Church, and offered to VBS program for children living in Prince Rupert. Since, the annual Vacation Bible School has increased in size with around 45 young children attending the program this year. The theme for the weeklong Vacation Bible School was “Son Surf Beach Bash”,
with the lessons incorporating beaches and surfing with God. “We hope that the children have fun and enjoy one another, as well as learn more about God, and that they will choose to be the person that God wants them to be, and bless one another and the community,” commented Wu. “We aren’t just serving the church, we are serving the whole community.” The program ended on August 26, when a beach themed closing ceremony was held at the Cornerstone Church. At the celebration, the children performed religious songs to their parents or guardians, as well as indulging in a yummy surfboard cake.

◆ MUNICIPAL AFFAIRS
City, committee create new cemetery maintenance policy By Monica Lamb-Yorski The Northern View City staff and the cemetery committee have come up with a policy to address upkeep concerns at Fairview Cemetery in Prince Rupert, but before adopting the policy, City Council wants to ensure that all of the community’s churches and faiths have been consulted. A report from Public Works described broken glass often scattered on and about
gravesites when grave site adornments are destroyed by wind and rain. That along the with the sheer number of adornments placed at some sites, contributes to making the place look messy and interferes with maintenance and the safety of employees and volunteers working there, staff reported. A number of municipalities have taken steps to address similar issues and City Manager Gordon Howie told council Public Works has contacted the Cities of Cranbrook
and Prince George and reviewed Terrace’s bylaw to see how those communities are tackling similar issues. “This report has come from the staff and the advisory committee and there has been considerable time and energy by both groups put into creating a much more clear set of rules,” Howie said. Howie has heard concerns that all ethnic and religious groups should be satisfied with the way they are allowed to commemorate at the cemetery. “I think we are applying something that is universal in scope that will apply to everyone and I think that we would have to look at special circumstances as special circumstances,” he said. Some of the policy highlights include the fact that immediately following a funeral, floral arrangements,

both fresh and artificial, with the plastic wrapping removed, must be placed in nonbreakable containers and securely fastened at the gravesite. They will be allowed to remain there for up to 30 days. Immediately following a funeral, items such as wreaths, tributes, stands, baskets and pictures will be permitted to remain for one week. And if people want to commemorate special occasions, they can place items at a grave for one week and will need to notify the cemetery caretaker or staff beforehand. After hearing the report council unanimously passed a motion to postpone accepting the policy until the cemetery committee and staff has consulted with all the religious groups in town. The motion was prompted by Councillor Joy Thorkelson who asked how broad the makeup of the committee is and heard they are a group of local residents from various ethnic groups and denominations.

Drag racing season wraps at “War of the Bikes and Sleds” By Ed Evans The Northern View The final race of the 2011 Drag racing season was run on the weekend. This race was Billed as “Bike Wars and the Bikes and Sleds were the feature race as well as a “Quick 8” class for cars that was not run at the “Hot August Nites” race, due to a track oil down. Also this weekend was the final round of all classes for the yearlong points series at the Terrace regional Airport. With rain again threatening the race, the plan was to run off all of the class races Saturday in case it rained on Sunday. This would mean at least the points series was finished and there would be no need to use the “Rainout Weekend”. As Saturday was supposed to be the nicer of the two days, we were all disappointed to wake up to overcast
skies. Overcast actually was the wrong name for it as we were in a cloud until 11:00. However patience was the saving grace as race organizers held off and the racing got underway at 1pm. Sunny skies broke put and the racing was fast and furious as all of the classes were run off including the two “Quick 8” Bike/sled and Car classes. In “Bike and Sled” Al McFarlane in his bike outran Shawn Enmark and his sled in the final. Enmark did take home enough points to retain his lead in the point’s series, for the second year, in “Bike/Sled” In “Junior Dragster” Maddy Amado outran Chris Cook to take home First Place. Lou Ribeiro brought home Third Place and took home the Points series for 2011. Dana Amado Took home First Place in “Sportsman” by outrunning Doug Ribero. Dana was the 2011
Points Series winner. In “Pro” class Shane Calkins took home first winning the final race against Laurence Wilkins who came all the way from Queen Charlotte city. Mike Wienhardt from Vanderhoof took home the 2011 points series. In “Super Pro” Bruce Daum took first place in a close race with Paul Amado. Harley Bell claimed first place in the Points series. The two “Quick 8” races were exciting with Top qualifiers in each class Ed Evans photo making it to the finals. In “Quick 8 Bikes” Shawn Kris Barnett yanks his tires on his run against Paul Soares in the “Quick Enmark, went down to John 8” final for Cars Saturday. Barnett outran Soares to take the win.
