The Federal government has decided to unilaterally withdraw from a funding agreement meant to provide money for the Pacific North Coast Area Management Initiative (PNCIMA), a process to create a comprehensive plan to manage the environmental and economic needs of the North Coast from the top of the Haida Gwaii to the top of Vancouver Island. The move was announced in a letter from the DFO – which represents the Federal Government in the PNCIMA planning process – to other stakeholders. The decision has led the Federal NDP and other PNCIMA supporters to accuse the Conservative government of political interference in a program where most of the participants are likely to be opposed to the Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline. In its letter to PNCIMA stakeholders,

the Federal Government makes no mention about why the funding agreement needed to be scrapped other than reasoning that in order to meet PNCIMA’s December 2012 deadline, a more focused plan needs to be developed. According to DFO’s regional director general, Susan Farlinger, the government is dedicated to seeing PNCIMA initiatives work towards creating an ocean management plan as before, but that the previous plan was not practical or efficient enough to finish the work before the December deadline. “Fundamentally what this is about is a streamlining of the process. There had been a lot of detail in the work plan we had contemplated, and we really need to meet that deadline of December 2012. But we also need a plan that is practical and will provide a framework for moving forward,” Farlinger told The Prince Rupert Northern View. However, the now scrapped funding

agreement contained an $8.3-million deal with the California-based Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation that would have gone to help pay for the process. This is not a small amount of money; it’s actually over $2 million more than what the DFO has spent on the initiative since 2003. These funds were going to be administered by Tides Canada, an environmental group. The government is reiterating its support for the original over arching agreement that was signed with the Provincial Government and First Nations, but on which Tides Canada is conspicuously absent. The Vancouver Sun newspaper has cited unspecified sources that say the government was worried about PNCIMA becoming too heavily influenced by environmentalists from the US, where there is currently a raging debate over the construction of another oil pipeline from the Albertan oil sands.

◆ AUGUST NUMBERS

Traffic through Fairview still on the rise By Alan S. Hale The Northern View

The Prince Rupert Port Authority finished off the summer months with some cargo levels reaching record highs in August over the previous year, while other west coast ports such as Seattle and Vancouver have seen their business grow very marginally or even shrink this summer. The total number of TEUs (or average cargo containers) to come to and from the city’s port this August was 43,418, which is 33.46 per cent higher than August of last buffet style, mashed potatoes, year.

Compare that to Prince Rupert, which has had a significantly higher average growth in TEU traffic from May to July of 18.77 per cent.

Unsightly property set to be torn down By Shaun Thomas The Northern View The demolition of two homes in Prince Rupert was on the agenda at the September 6 city council meeting, and while one was given a reprieve the other will be demolished. The owner of the building at 1001/1003 Third Avenue West had told council he would attend the meeting but ended up submitting a letter that day indicating that work would be done “with an approximate time frame of sixty days as funds trickle in”. Councillors said that, given the first notice against the property was given in December of 2010, the response from the owner was inadequate. “I think council has given this gentleman plenty of time and worked with him. He came to the last meeting and said he would return on September 6 with financing but his words ‘as funds trickle in’ doesn’t show that has been done....I think

something has to be done and remove this eyesore for the community,” said councillor Kathy Bedard. Councillor Sheila Gordon-Payne asked whether the structure was a safety concern, and heard from staff that they haven’t been able to determine that. “On two occasions staff have arranged a time to inspect the stability of the structure from the inside and in both cases no keys were produced so we have not been able to asses that,” said corporate administrator Robert Grodecki. Council voted to have the building torn down. The owner of the building at 906 Comox Avenue spoke to council and asked for more time to sell the property. “We acknowledge that the building is unfinished and has been for some time. The reason it was not done is personal and I do not see a benefit to publicize that, but our situation has not improved and we feel it best to sell the property. We have spoken with the realtor and to accomplish that it will be listed at $31,000 less than the taxable

value...I don’t see our time line permitting us to do anything with it and would like to sell it to recoup some of our investment,” explained David Salyne, who also apologized to neighbours who are File photo offended by the state of 1001/1003 Third West will be torn down by the property. “The structure is council order. sound but the natural vegetation has taken over. We propose removing the vegetation to make the site less offensive and more likely to sell.” Council agreed with his plan and lifted the notice on the property for sixty days to increase the likelihood of sale. However, council also said if the vegetation wasn’t gone in two weeks they wouldn’t be lifting the demolition order.

◆ PNCIMA FUNDING

MP says decision to pull funding is “sabotage” Continued from page 1 The NDP has been quick to come out to accuse the Tories of political interference. Local MP Nathan Cullen says that the Conservatives were looking for any excuse to try to undermine a coastal management plan that could have caused problems for the Enbridge’s Northern Gateway Pipeline project. The Tory government has stated a support for the project in the past and voted against Cullen’s House motion to support a potential oil tanker ban off the North Coast of BC, which received unanimous support from the other parties. Cullen believes that the decision comes too close to when the inquiry into the Enbridge pipeline is set to begin for it to be a coincidence. “I think it’s [the Conservatives] giving in to their

friends in the oil patch. It’s going to hurt Canada’s ability to have a clean ocean environment. It’s Sabotage. They were looking for a reason to get out and they found one,” says Cullen. Cullen says that if the Conservatives are actually worried about the money coming from environmental groups, they only have themselves to blame. “The only reason there was any money at all coming from environmental groups is because the government reneged on its promise to properly fund the program...If money was really the problem they could just start funding it properly.” Des Nobles is the Skeena Queen Charlotte

Regional District’s representative on the Integrated Management Committee, which takes part in the PNCIMA discussions. He says that there have been some rumblings that a decision like this was coming. He says he’s concerned that the decision may have been influenced by lobbying from some group who may be opposed to the restrictions an ocean management plan may impose on businesses. He says that he will be attending a meeting of the committee scheduled for the middle of this month here in Prince Rupert where he hopes that the government’s intentions will be clarified.

and they need water in order to run the toilets and such,” says Bedard. Bedard says that the destroyed pipes are not likely to be repaired because they were built back when there was still an operating pulp mill on Watson Island and the demand for water was greater than it is now. Instead, Port Edward is looking into options for permanently connecting the island to their water system, which Bedard says is a much easier option for everyone.

OPINION

MY VIEW…

Surprised by pellet announcement... Last Monday I attended my first council meeting in quite some time, with Monica diligently filling the role for about the past year, and what a welcome back it was. I was looking over the agenda package before the meeting and saw a presentation about a pellet facility and figured it would be interesting to see what is on the horizon. I’ll admit I certainly didn’t see essentially the announcement of a $30 million, 60,000 tonne pellet export facility along the waterfront being in the cards - but was pleasantly surprised to hear about it. Usually with these types of projects there is significant forewarning in the way of public meetings, environmental assessments, comment periods and so on (think of NaiKun, Canpotex and even the seemingly illfated Mount Hays Windfarm). This one really came out of the blue. And after the presenters finished it was clear they had done their homework and thoroughly planned out the project so I was left with basically one question: What’s the time frame looking like for this project? It was a question I though evident but was pretty much the last question asked. My befuddlement grew more when the presenter stated there was no reason they couldn’t start building in 2012. While I’m a bit skeptical about that time frame, particularly since it is September and there is no agreement in place with the Prince Rupert Port Authority, news of this facility is

obviously great news for Prince Rupert. It’s a project that doesn’t rely on a government contract or the development of a market for a resource, it’s a matter of getting more the existing capacity to Asia quicker than it currently is.

I’m certain we haven’t heard the last of this project heading into the winter of 2011, and I can see it being one of the big news stories for Prince Rupert when 2012 rolls around. ~ Shaun Thomas

Tourism Prince Rupert operation and board of directors Our organization was established as a Convention & Visitors Bureau (CVB) in the 1930s - it is one of the oldest in the province - although marketing Prince Rupert to visitors stretches back to the days of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway. We are one of the original seven “grandfathered” two per cent communities. Whistler was the first municipality to begin collecting the additional hotel tax, in 1988, and Prince Rupert followed in 1990. As the 1990s progressed, it became clear that Prince Rupert faced an increasingly competitive global marketplace. Tourism was becoming a more and more complex industry, and gone were the days of simply opening up a visitors’ bureau and trusting to enthusiasm and luck. In 1998 Tourism Prince Rupert was created as an advisory board that quickly identified that inadequate staffing and budget at the CVB prevented the effective development of tourism in Prince Rupert, and that we needed to join the growing number of communities with Destination Marketing Organizations (DMOs). Tourism Prince Rupert was incorporated as a non-

Finally, on behalf of the staff and Board of Directors of Tourism Prince Rupert I would like to send out our very best wishes to Andrée Fawcett and David James, though it is with sadness that we mark the closure of Andrée’s Bed & Breakfast at the end of this season.

“I think they should. The property is too valuable to be unused.”

“I don’t think the schools should be torn down, they should make use of them somehow.”

“It’s unfortunate if they have to tear them down, but if they don’t have the resources or students to ﬁll them then yes.”

They should tear them down because it takes a lot of money for upkeep, heating and they are constantly vandalized.”

◆ LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Chum bycatch discarding denies grizzly bears their quota of other wildlife species in our coastal rivers. Specifically, there are growing concerns over the impact that low salmon abundance has on coastal grizzlies, other wildlife that rely on salmon, and the healthy functioning of salmon-dependent ecosystems. The massive amounts of nutrients and energy that salmon bring back to BC’s watersheds every year can be likened to the wildebeest migrations of the Serengeti. Similar to their African ungulate counterparts, spawning salmon provide an essential seasonal food to many species. For coastal grizzlies, the health of individuals, the number of cubs per female, and population densities are all strongly related to the consumption of salmon. Grizzlies have smaller and less frequent litters in lean times. Given that chum used to provide a high percentage of salmon to these bears, its decline could mean fewer bears and less resilient populations over time. Bears also drive productivity within coastal streams and forests by transferring salmon carcasses from streams to the forest floor. They are riparian gardeners; providing nutrients and energy to stream bank food webs, including insects, birds, mammals and other fish. In terms of nutrients, 335 metric tons of discarded chum salmon translates to 9 metric tons of nitrogen and 1 metric ton of

phosphorous, 80 per cent of which would have been of delivered by bears. The economic value of spawning salmon is significant and undeniable. The rising popularity of wildlife ecotourism suggests that salmon may be worth more to coastal economies alive than dead. Wildlife ecotourism has grown impressively in the past 20 years. The number of operations bringing tourists to see BC’s coastal bears has more than quadrupled since the 1990s and local First Nations have been an important component of this growth. However, this promising economic activity requires

abundant salmon populations for bears and other wildlife drawn to fall streams. Changing the way we fish for salmon could significantly reduce impacts to stocks of concern, like chum salmon in the Great Bear Rainforest. This could be achieved by moving fisheries away from “mixedstock” areas where it is impossible to target strong stocks while avoiding weak ones, by employing proven selective fishing techniques, and by transitioning to quotabased fisheries. Misty MacDuffee and Chris Genovali Raincoast Conservation Foundation

bcford.ca

Editor: BC’s coastal grizzlies often have a hard time securing their life requisites, as humans interfere with their day-to-day existence. Grizzlies face a myriad of threats, from the degradation of their habitat through industrial forestry to their direct killing via trophy hunting. They also face fierce competition for their most important food source, wild salmon, from commercial and sport fisheries. That competition may have gotten more extreme this summer, as BC’s north coast commercial salmon fishermen have discarded over 20 per cent of their catch, including 1.4 million pounds of chum salmon. Many of these fish are from stocks that fisheries scientists have described as “conservation concern.” Most of the discarded fish are not expected to survive because salmon hauled up in nets and onto decks need careful handling to be released back to the water unharmed. But in competitive fisheries with short time limits, careful release of unwanted salmon puts fishermen at a disadvantage. This disincentive means tens of thousands of salmon die from stress and injury, losing their one chance to spawn after returning from the Pacific Ocean. One-half of these chum discards (335 metric tons) came from areas in and around the Great Bear Rainforest. There are several problems with fisheries that discard “bycatch” in the manner described above. The abundance of many stocks of chum salmon on the central and north coast is too low to withstand significant fishing pressure, so there is a conservation concern. Secondly, the discarded chum could have fed bears, eagles, wolves, and dozens

◆ POST SECONDARY EDUCATION

College students begin another year at the local campus By Alan S. Hale The Northern View Both new and returning students attending the Prince Rupert campus of Northwest Community College crowded into the school’s library on Wednesday for their new-year orientation. The half-hour presentation was given mostly by campus manager Wendy Prystay, who welcomed the students to the new academic year after they were also officially welcomed to Tsimshian territory by elder Mona Alexi. “Welcome to the returning staff, faculty, and students to what I’m sure will be an exciting year; a challenging year but filled with new learning and new opportunities,” said Prystay the packed library. According to Prystay, as of last Friday there were 269 new first-year students signed up for

college-level classes, mostly from Prince Rupert but some from northern communities such as Terrace and Kitimat, and even some international students from Chile and China. Emily Rudderham is like the majority of the first-year students at NWCC in that she is originally from Prince Rupert. She says that she didn’t go to the college just because it is so close by, she wanted to take the college’s Applied Coastal Ecology program. “The program really fit my interests, it was right up my alley. Plus it’s cost effective as well so it seemed like a good fit...After I’m done here, I’m going to Royal Roads to pursue environmental conservation,” says Rudderham. There are 106 students taking high school equivalency courses through the college’s Career and College Prep program, which Prystay says is an enrollment that

is slightly higher than last year. Prystay says that the school is pleasantly surprised by the increase in CCP students because there had been some concern that enrollment would actually decrease due to government cuts. “There’s been a lack of funding around and people are losing Alan S.

◆ HIGH SCHOOL SAFETY

Automotive program to remain at the old PRSS campus By Shaun Thomas The Northern View While Prince Rupert Secondary School is no longer housing senior students, the building will host at least one secondary class due to safety concerns with the mechanic

shop at Charles Hays. “We had someone come in and look at the shops, particularly since we’re reconfiguring the number of students and the school, and specifically he looked at safe distances between the equipment. When he looked at

the facility in Charles Hays there just wasn’t enough room to safely accommodate all of the students, so the decision was made to move the engine hoist and some equipment to Prince Rupert Middle School... We knew that room wouldn’t be used by the middle school students

at PRMS,” explained secretarytreasurer Cam McIntyre. “We hope to eventually have the hoist moved back to Charles Hays, but there are some renovations that have to be done there first so it all fits safely,” added superintendent Lynn Hauptman.

The Terry Fox Run

SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 2011 Walk to raise funds for cancer research in memory of Terry When Terry Fox began his Marathon of Hope across Canada in 1980, he knew he was embarking on a challenging journey that could potentially affect many lives. But even he probably didn’t realize the enduring effect that his dedication and inspiring story would leave on generations of Canadians. 28 years after his death, Fox’s legacy continues to thrive and, despite having long surpassed the simple goal of raising one dollar for every Canadian soul, the desire to raise awareness about the devastating disease that is cancer has only grown and spread, resulting in millions of dollars for cancer research in Canada and throughout the world. The Terry Fox Foundation has, since its creation, taken in more than $400 million and agencies like the Canadian Cancer Society have had the numbers of supporters and donations incline steadily over the past several decades. This is perhaps in line with the seemingly more frequent occurrences of cancer in modern times. An estimated 177,800 new cases of cancer (excluding about 74,100 non-melanoma skin cancers) and 75,000 deaths will occur in Canada in 2011. In 2007, cancer surpassed cardiovascular disease (heart and cerebrovascular) as the leading cause of death in Canada. Although the majority of cases occur amongst the elderly, 850 Canadian children, aged 0-14 are diagnosed with cancer every year. Happily, with early detection and continually advancing treatment options, five out of six of them not only survive but go into full remission. Just 18 at the time of his diagnosis, Terry Fox was an active, athletic teenager who was forced to undergo the amputation of his right leg due to bone cancer. Throughout

his treatment Fox witnessed the struggle of many young cancer patients, which ignited his desire to contribute in a meaningful way to the cause. Fox left Newfoundland in June of 1980 with little outside support, but all that changed very quickly as the courageous amputee skip-hopped through the Atlantic provinces, Quebec and part of Ontario before having to stop on September 1. Finding out that the cancer had spread to his lungs, Fox vowed to return to finish his run when healthy enough. That time would not come, however, as Fox succumbed on June 28, 1981 at just 22 years of age. Across Canada, groups took up Fox’s cause, pledging not to let his vision die with him. The Terry Fox Run is now an annual fundraising event held across the country

and in various locations around the world. In Prince Rupert the event has been held annually for two decades and this year marks the 31st annual commemoration of Terry’s run and legacy. Once again this year the Northern Savings Credit Union will be the starting location for the run, with registration beginning at noon on September 18. Would-be participants are invited to come walk, run, roller blade, bike or otherwise support the run as best they can. The run will begin at one p.m. As always, in accordance with Terry’s wishes, the Run is open to all participants, with no minimum donation necessary and no fee required to participate.

◆ CRIME

Couple charged for drug trafficking in the region By Rod Link Black Press A Terrace couple is facing serious charges after trying to bring 28 pounds of marijuana into their community, RCMP said in a press release on the morning of September 12. That’s enough marijuana to produce in excess of 35,000 joints, the release added. The investigation stretches back to the summer of 2010, when the E Division Federal Drug Enforcement Branch in Prince Rupert, along with regional and detachment resources, determined that a husband and wife team were buying marijuana in the Lower Mainland and using a truck to transport the drug to Terrace, police allege.

Charged with two (2) counts of Possession of Marijuana for the Purpose of Trafficking is 49 year old Kerry Lynn Primeau. She was arrested September 22, 2010 in Chilliwack with 25 pounds of marijuana. Charged with three (3) counts of Possession of Marijuana for the Purpose of Trafficking is 46 year old Michael Wesley Primeau. He was arrested January 11, 2011 in Hope with 3 pounds of marijuana. On January 12, 2011 his wife Kerry was again arrested, this time at the family home in Terrace, in possession of a half pound of marijuana. Along with the drugs, a 1999 Chevrolet Silverado was also seized. Both will make their first appearance in Terrace court on October 11, 2011.

The My Mountain Coop initiative has completed its incorporation under the British Columbia Co-operative Act recently receiving its confirmation of registration. “This is a small but critical first step in securing the future of the ski area” said Curtis Billey, founding director and spokesperson for the My Mountain Coop. “The formalization of the coop provides us the necessary governance structure to permit broad-based involvement in the initiative by stakeholders to the ski area in guiding the business affairs as we move forward to ensure the sustainability of the operations for the future.” The non-profit Co-op governance model was selected after extensive research and analysis by the Friends of Shames in consideration of potential corporate structures that might provide a good foundation to take over the ownership and operations of the ski area after the current owners, the Shames Mountain Ski Corporation, announced intentions not to continue operating the ski area. “We owe a great deal of gratitude to the current owners for financially supporting the ski area for all of these years”, said Billey. The Co-op model provides for

a collaborative approach across a broader representation of the stakeholders to the ski area, a model that has contributed to the sustainability of other, similar enterprises across Canada and the United States. The not-for-profit Co-op status also presents opportunities for the ski area to gain access to government grant programs, not previously available to the SMSC, that provide funding in flickr.com/zpaperboyz photo support of maintenance and capital The group looking to buy Shames Mountain investment in recreational assets such has completed the incorporation process as ski areas as seen elsewhere in British and will now look to operating the hill.

Northern smoking rate higher than BC By Cameron Orr Black Press Smokers in Northern B.C. are lighting up more often than their counterparts in other areas of the province after a study shows the percentage of smokers in Northern Health’s region surpasses the provincial and national average. A report from Physicians for a SmokeFree Canada that documented tobacco rates country-wide noted that in Northern Health’s jurisdiction 23.1 per cent of people were smokers, compared to the provincial percentage of 17.4. Canada-wide it is 20.8 per cent. It’s not a surprising statistic according to Julie Kerr, who is the Director of Population Health with the Northern Health Authority. “This is the way it always is. B.C. typically has the lowest rates in all of Canada, but the Northern B.C. rates are much worse,” she said. The rate in Northern B.C. is so high it works out to about one in four people are smokers. The factors are wide ranging but some of that comes down to how people in the north live compared to more urbanized areas down south. “There are a number of things. Some of it has to do with a Northern ‘live hard, play hard, die hard’ mentality where we tend to have a bit of a pioneering spirit and be risk

takers as opposed to risk averse,” she said. Smoking rates are also higher in industrial work, such as work camps. In those settings people may turn to cigarettes or other substances to combat things like boredom. “Tobacco, among other substances, become ways of dealing with loneliness and boredom,” Kerr said. Strong links also exist between tobacco use and other factors such as poverty and low literacy, she said. Northern B.C. smoking rates are typically steady, around the 22-to-25 per cent usage rate. As of this study the north is roughly back to 2008 levels. “We continually have our work to do around tobacco use in the north,” said Kerr. Among their strategies are working with young parents. “One of the best predictors of whether someone will be a smoker is whether they’re raised by smokers or not,” Kerr said. They work with parents directly and by delivering messages to students in schools,

which they hope they take back to their parents. “Tobacco rates in general over time are coming down but we just need to sustain the pressure on it.” The province has aided the fight against tobacco use with a new program beginning September 30 where B.C. will cover the cost of nicotine replacement therapies. Premier Christy Clark Julie Kerr made the announcement for the program back in May. Under the plan, citizens can get either nicotine gum or patches to help quit smoking with a free 12 week supply. The cost for the program is estimated to run between $15 and $25 million. “That levels the playing field a little bit where maybe people before only had access to that if they were well employed,” said Kerr. Through Northern Health, they’ll also be offering more group counseling sessions as demand has doubled for counseling over the past 24 months. Kerr said that group sessions tend to be as successful or more over one-on-one. People can receive information on smoking cessation programs at northernhealth.ca.

Free Single Vision Scratch Coated Lenses with purchase of frames *must provide coupon exp. Oct. 15/11

OMNI Eye + Vision is grateful for the overwhelming support it has received from the communities in and around Prince Rupert since opening its doors in the Ocean Centre Mall in April. The enthusiasm is quite evident as soon as you walk in the door of the clinic – fresh colors, displays, frames and an urban design feel. Optometrists Dr. Amit Mathur, Dr. Jason Lau, and Dr. Loan Trieu look forward to giving Prince Rupert the best quality of eye care they can along with “our sincere best customer service experience each day”. Being raised in Kitimat, Dr. Mathur is thrilled to be able to come back North and in some way give back to the community. “It’s important for me to be able to provide current selections of glasses and contact lenses and at prices equal to our Lower Mainland locations.” “As primary health care providers it’s important to bring awareness to routine eye examinations in our goal of preventative eyecare.” To that end all of the doctors at this practice are passionate and have dedicated much of their energy and time into diagnosing and treating eye health conditions. “The early detection and prevention of many eye conditions begins at infancy”, says Dr. Lau. The doctors suggest, as also recommended by the Canadian Association of Optometrists, that a child’s first exam should take place at six months of age. “So often we see children struggling with learning disorders for several years that could have benefitted from glasses or vision training much earlier on.” One side note: the doctors at OMNI Eye + Vision want to remind the public that eye exams for children, seniors, and those with some health conditions are still a benefit of MSP. In addition to thorough eye health exams and treatment, they also offer urban designer eyeglasses

There is also a wide selection of stylish frames that are even more cost effective. “We are doctors, first, that provide optical services as well. The goal is to ensure everyone feels comfortable and excited when buying new glasses without feeling pressured or financially burdened”, says Dr. Mathur. As important as these beautiful frames are, just as crucial are the lenses within the frame. That is why they use lenses that are developed with the latest technology and are considered the best anywhere in the world, including lenses from NIKON and coatings from CRIZAL. Open five days a week, with the occasional Saturdays to accommodate your schedules, OMNI Eye + Vision accepts Aboriginal health plans for both eye exams and frames. Call 250-627-8892 now to schedule an eye exam for you and your loved ones or come to the third floor of the Ocean Centre Mall. “We are really excited to be a community partner and look forward to meeting you all and allowing us the opportunity to assist in your eye care needs”, says Dr. Trieu, who recently relocated to Prince Rupert after practicing in Calgary.

Reversal of HST nearly triples forecast deficit for 2011 By Tom Fletcher The Northern View The defeat of the harmonized sales tax has nearly tripled B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deficit forecast for the current fiscal year, doubled it for next year, and left a $458 million gap for 2013 when the B.C. Liberal government has committed to balance the budget and call an election. Finance Minister Kevin Falcon revealed the latest projections in the provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first quarter economic update Thursday. The ministry calculates that scrapping the HST will cost the provincial treasury $2.2 billion over three years, including $700 million less revenue once the old provincial sales tax is reinstated. Further revenue reductions are expected in later years before economic

growth makes up the sales tax revenue. Falcon said he will be traveling the province this fall for the annual budget consultation, but he has already heard that the public has little appetite for new tax or fee increases to make up for the HST. He said the cabinet has not yet decided if the â&#x20AC;&#x153;net zeroâ&#x20AC;? mandate for public sector union negotiations will be extended after it expires this December. But he gave a strong hint to the B.C. Teachersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Federation and the B.C. Government and Service Employeesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Union, the two largest groups that have not yet agreed to contracts under those conditions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not looking at any kind of a rollback in wages,â&#x20AC;? Falcon said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think all weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re saying is that the public sector needs to recognize that in the world

Rotating and managing wines in your cellar Once in a while itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good idea to take stock of the wines sitting in your cellar. I recently added 150 bottles to my collection and while I was making room I saw it as a good opportunity to look through my wines and set aside a section to be thought of as â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;on deckâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; wines. I try to consume my wines at their peak, or at least, what I believe that to be. With a large inventory of wines sitting around the house I need to make sure I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget any in the shuffle. So, my on deck bin is usually the first place I look when picking a wine for my meal. The on deck bin is my collection of wines from the cellar that I think are ready to drink. Because I look to these wines first each time I go into the cellar, I see them often and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good reminder of wines that I need to make a meal for. I also have amidst my collection some wines (particular vintages) that I have purchased by the case. Periodically I throw one of these into my tasting circle; a nice little check to see how the whole lot is ageing. Personally, I keep a diary of

◆ ON THE ICE

Changes coming for the Rampage in 2011/2012 season By Shaun Thomas The Northern View After limited ice time since the end of August, the Prince Rupert Rampage will begin focussing on the 2011/2012 season without some players and personnel that played a role in the team’s western conference-leading season in

2010/2011. Captain Colt Stava, who has filled that position since the team began three years ago, says he won’t be returning this year due to other commitments while Rob Millar, who led both the team and the league in scoring last year, has moved out of town. Also gone from the team this year are head coach

Frank Pyde, who has coached the team from the start, and assistant coach Jerry Kurka. Despite the changes, German said preparations have been going well so far this year. “We had our first real practice [Wednesday] and we have a head coach, Tom Jackson, in place. We’re getting ready to go to

Kitimat on September 23 and 24 to defend our Northern Challenge Cup title,” he said, adding that a new team captain hasn’t been named and Rob McDonald will be back helping behind the bench. “We don’t know exactly who the new players are going to be. There’s a couple of guys that have come out so far this year, like

Jacob Santurbano and Jean-Luc Fournier who were both playing junior, and possibly some other players though we’re not 100 per cent.” The Rampage will kick off the 2011/2012 season on October 1 in Kitimat against the Ice Demons, with the home opener on October 15 versus the Terrace River Kings.

◆ IN THE ROUGH

Holkestad takes women’s club championship tournament By Moe Hays The Northern View Rose Holkestad added her name to the 2011 Honour Roll at the Prince Rupert Golf Club, winning the Ladies Club championship following a spectacular weekend for the 36 hole event. Holkestad, winner of many events on her own and with husband, Brian, trailed Cynthia Rosario by four strokes after the Saturday round, but shot a fine 89 on Sunday, giving her the victory by two

strokes over Rosario. Defending champion, Janet Sheppard, finished in third place and was awarded Championship Flight Gross honours, with Carol Bryant taking Gross in the First Flight. In the Net competition, Andrea Pollock enjoyed a fine weekend, taking Overall Net. Joanne Sylvester was Net winner in the Championship Flight and Kim Sugiyama in the First Flight. There are no results to report from the flooded out weekly events, of last week, but we are

very optimistic this week as golfers prepare for the Duffers Tournament. Entries will be accepted all week, for the Grand Daddy of Prince Rupert golf events. The Duffers Tournament was the first competition played on the Centennial Course, celebrating the opening of the facility in 1969.

The two day tournament is open to all Men and Women golfers, in the area, featuring a Modified Scoring Flight for players, who do not have an Official Golf Handicap.
