BC Ferries turns down advisory committee improvements to Haida Gwaii route By Alan S. Hale The Northern View

BC Ferries shot-down two suggestions on ways to improve the ridership experience to and from Haida Gwaii even as ridership on their northern routes has plummeted over the last year. The suggestions were made last Thursday at the meeting of the BC Ferries Advisory Committee by Evan Putterill, a member of the Skeena - Queen Charlotte Regional District board who represents the community of Sandspit on Haida Gwaii. The first problem that Putterill brought to the corporation’s attention was the fact that the trips to and from the islands arrive at their destinations in the very early hours of the morning. Passengers are asked to leave the vessel shortly after they arrive, leaving many people stranded with nowhere to go for several hours because motels or the boat over to Sandspit doesn’t operate that early. “This is particularly a concern for people who don’t have vehicles. They have to spend the time in the BC Ferries terminal which is poorly heated,” Putterill told the other board members at their meeting last Friday.

Putterill suggested to BC Ferries that instead kicking people off the boat right away, they should let people wait on the boat for things to open, since the ship doesn’t leave again for hours after it arrives anyway. “BC Ferries said they could not do that because they didn’t have the staff capabilities. They only have the staffing to deal with the length of the crossing and then after that they have to go off-ship. They don’t have the staff to supervise passengers on a 24-hour basis,” said Putterill. The second suggestion made by Putterill was that the corporation make changes to its safety policy regarding what happens when a trip between Prince Rupert and Haida Gwaii has to be cancelled due to wave height. Putterill says that the company has been cancelling trips on route 11 more and more. “And this is causing people to be stranded more on either side and that can be a real economic burden,” said Putterill. He suggested at the advisory committee meeting that BC Ferries put in place some kind of travel insurance or other mechanism to help out passengers who find their trip has been cancelled on them. “They (BC Ferries) are saving a lot of
money when they cancel a trip and they don’t have to burn that fuel,” says Putterill. BC Ferries told him that Chief Financial Officer, Rob Clarke, had looked into the possibility of travel insurance for passengers a year-and-a-half ago, but found that offering customers insurance that specialized would be prohibitively expensive. Putterill says that there are some more community-based options to help alleviate this problem that are being explored. “Social services type stuff, better information at the ferry terminals to make sure that people know that things like the medical stay units can be used for lowincome families that are stranded on the Prince Rupert side. So there’s going to be a little more work done into that to find some local solutions,” said Putterill. On route 10, which goes between Prince Rupert and Port Hardy, vehicle traffic fell 9 per cent and passenger traffic was down 8 per cent. On route 11 between Prince Rupert and Haida Gwaii, vehicles were also down 9 per cent and passengers were down 6 per cent. On route 26 which is used to get to and from Sandspit, vehicles were down 3 per cent and passengers down 2 per cent.

A geotechnical engineer was brought in to examine the slide, five kilometres east of Usk, and crews estimated there were about 50 cubic metres of material. The engineer had to determine the condition of the slope the rock came from before allowing the road to be re-opened to the public later in the day on Friday.

North Coast groups share $25,000 on Credit Union Day By Alan S. Hale
Alan S. Hale photo
Several of the Prince Rupert recipients gather after receiving funding from Northern Savings Credit Union.
The Northern View Northern Savings Credit Union handed out $15,000 to Prince Rupert community groups on Thursday to mark Credit Union Day. “This year’s Credit Union Day theme is: Credit unions build a better world...We like the idea of giving back to the community, so that the more business we do, the more money we make and the more we can give back,” said Larry Hope during the presentation ceremony at the Prince Rupert branch of Northern Savings Credit Union. Besides giving away their own money, the credit union was also distributing money from NorthLife an association of many different credit from the communities along Highway 16. Recipients of the money were chosen from among the organizations who applied for it during the summer. The credit unions board chooses the ones they “feel are going to help the community we want to give back to”. “We really give a preference on finding something where a one-time infusion of cash funds will really help the project along and when we find one every year we give them the largest donation,” said Hope. The biggest recipient was the Loyal Order of the Moose, which received $5,000, while the Sea Cadets received $3,5000. The City of Prince Rupert’s Everybody Gets to Play fund was given $2,000, the Prince Rupert Amateur Swim Club was given $1,500. Organizers of Halloween Fest received $1,000 for the festivities on October 31 and AFFNO, the Association des Fracophones et Francophiles du Nord-Ouest) also received $1,000 for their new French-language children’s book program, Lin Culturel (Cultural Link).

◆ SELF ADVOCACY
Marking Community Living Month in Prince Rupert By Martina Perry The Northern View Over the weekend, the Prince Rupert Self-Advocacy Group hosted a “caring communities” themed barbecue for the public in honour of Community Living Month, where people in attendance could indulge in some barbecued-goods while awareness was being made about people living with disabilities. “The Prince Rupert Self-Advocacy Group would like to thank the community for being so supportive and [the employers that employ our individuals],” said Val Whomes from the Self-Advocacy Group, mentioning Overwaitea Foods, Community Living BC, The Dollar Store, the Bargain Shop, Cooks Jewelers, City Furniture, Moose Hall, Rona, Home Hardware, Northern Savings Credit Union and La Gondola among others. At the gathering there was cake, balloons, popcorn and barbecued food cooked by members of the Prince Rupert Rotary Club, a musical performance done by Ray Leonard and Cynthia Pyde, as well as pins, stickers, and awareness brochures being handed out. Mayor Jack Mussallem was one of the speakers at the barbecue, and stated how pleased he was there was a gathering
of this nature for Community Living Month. “A day like this with a variety of people is all about our community and the people living in it, those that give, those that provide and those that try and help out for the betterment of not only the community but everybody that lives in it,” he said. Lindsay Vincent from the local BC SPCA branch was another speaker at the event, and spoke on behalf of the employers in the community that give people living with development disabilities jobs. “Having self-advocates working at the SPCA has truly been beneficial. They are trained like any other BC SPCA employee in specific task which they are able complete with little to no guidance,” Vincent said, adding how helpful Fairview Management volunteers have been to the local SPCA. The Prince Rupert SelfAdvocacy Group is funded through the Ministry for Children and Families. The members of the group are individuals who have some form of developmental disability.

OPINION
MY VIEW…
The importance of an informed vote In last week’s editorial I spoke about the job that lays ahead for Prince Rupert’s next council, this week I feel I would be remiss if I didn’t speak about the duty we all have as an electorate in choosing the next council. With the full list of names now readily available and all of the candidates declared, there is no question that people are going to have a lot of choices. There are three in the race for Mayor (the first time in the past two elections I’ve seen more than two candidates to choose from), 13 people running for six council and 10 people seeking election to the school board. In each case, it’s a healthy mix of new faces and familiar faces. As electors, I feel we are not only obligated to vote, but to do what we can to educate ourselves about the candidates, their idea, their platforms and what they bring to the table. Obviously, as with any election, there is a certain amount of name recognition involved. Those who have been on council you will know about in terms of their positions, what they’ve done in their elected role and so on. Others you may be familiar with through their work in the community, be it volunteer or in a work-related capacity. But I encourage you to find out more about the candidates, both old and new, and choose the one who best represents the direction you want Prince Rupert to go and which will be most likely to move the City or the school district in that direction. And in this day and age, it is easier than ever to read up on the candidates. Google works, but some candidates also have webpages and Facebook pages.
In that regard we have set-up profiles for the candidates in the coming weeks, with the Mayoral candidates featured this week, and the Chamber of Commerce will be hosting an all-candidates forum on the evening of November 8. Let’s face it, with the increased focus on trade with China by both the Federal and Provincial government,
there will be an increased focus on Prince Rupert and more opportunity than before to attract industry and shippers to the community. That means its more important than ever to have the right people leading in the coming years. So this November vote for whoever you want, but make sure it is an informed vote.

Sharing the history of the northwest salmon canneries In the late 1800s about a thousand salmon canneries dotted the west coast between California and Alaska. Thirty-eight of those canneries were on the Skeena and Nass rivers, beginning with Inverness Cannery in 1876, and they made salmon from northern rivers famous. Skeena River sockeye even made it into ration packs in the trenches of the First World War. We’re fortunate, both in terms of tourism and community heritage, that this remains vital on the North Coast today. We have operating canneries, and, at North Pacific, the largest remaining wooden cannery village left on the west coast. North Pacific Cannery was founded in 1889. It was built by John Alexander Carthew, and sold to Henry Ogle BellIrving in 1891. He founded Anglo-British Packing Company in 1892 to consolidate his holdings, including North Pacific. The final year of salmon processing was 1968 – though after the cannery was bought in 1969 by The Canadian Fishing Company, it ran for

this year in the Toronto Sun. “Typewriters from the 1930s top large wooden desks in an office that hasn’t been used for decades, while in a nearby building, canning machines, that once chugged along noisily, now sit silent.” Last year noted travel writer Kerry Banks told the story of North Pacific in a major feature in Westworld Magazine. “There is plenty of room here for the imagination to roam,” he writes. “The sight of a stooped man in the empty net loft causes my heart to jump, until I realize it is only a dummy. The late afternoon sun streams through the windows, lighting the wood floor and the nets that hang from the ceiling. Time has stopped here, but history lives on.” The full story of the salmon canneries of the North Coast is told in the authoritative Salmon Canneries: British Columbia North Coast, by Gladys Young Blyth. This classic study was first published by Oolichan Books in 1991, has been reissued by Trafford Publishing and is available in Prince Rupert bookstores.

Concerned about pedestrians stepping off the curb into the cross walk! It’s common sense. So, to all the pedestrians and drivers alike, act and drive defensively and take nothing for granted. I would also like to give kudos to all the gardeners in Prince Rupert, the downtown area looked great this summer!! Charlotte Rowse and her gang deserve a big round of applause for manning the large planter boxes!!!! Thank you for the space.

Letters to the Editor Editor: I am writing to voice my concern over pedestrians. I wonder if they are aware that they should make ‘eye contact’ with the driver of the vehicle coming at them before stepping off the curb? Or...when they are in a parking lot, like Rupert Square, in some cases drivers have ‘blind’ spots and do not always see the pedestrian. As a driver, I have been in this situation a few times...Drivers do not have eyes in the back of their heads. I know when I am the pedestrian, I always like to make sure the driver sees me before I chance

Breast Cancer: Making the right decisions for your health Contributed The Northern View Editor’s note: During the last month you will have seen a number of ribbons throughout the paper in support of Breast Cancer Awareness month. A portion of the money from these ads will be donated to the Breast Cancer Support Group. October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, an annual month-long campaign whose goal is to educate the public about
the risks of breast cancer. It also provides invaluable information to at-risk women on how they can protect themselves or at least reduce their chances of developing this often-deadly disease. In addition to being the most common type of cancer to strike women, breast cancer is also the number two killer of Canadian women among all forms of cancer. In Canada, breast cancer is the most widespread cancer in women under 50 years old. Awareness and
a healthy lifestyle significantly contribute to effectively combat this affliction. October is dedicated to raising the awareness of breast cancer in Canada. According to a special report of Canadian statistics on breast cancer, published by the Canadian Cancer Society, it is estimated that over 22,000 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in Canada in 2007; of which, 5,300 will die. In spite of these statistics, the mortality rate for breast cancer has declined and early detection
is one of the most plausible explanations for this trend. In fact, the mortality rate due to breast cancer could be reduced by 25% with more frequent screenings, including mammographies and clinical breast exams. Did you know that adopting a healthy lifestyle could prevent at least 50% of cancers? The different factors known to influence the risks of developing breast cancer are: lifestyle habits, heredity, as well as reproductive and hormonal factors.

Prevention The Canadian Cancer Society recommends that women between the ages of 50 and 69 have a mammography every two years; those over 40 years old are advised to visit their doctor every two years for a clinical breast exam, in addition to regular breast selfexams. Of course, it is important to alert your doctor to any changes you may detect. These preventive measures can diminish the risks of developing breast cancer.

â—† NEW FORKLIFT, SOFTWARE
CITY OF PRINCE RUPERT
SQCRD votes to spend $79,000 for upgrades By Alan S. Hale The Northern View The Skeena Queen Charlotte Regional District has decided it will need to spend several thousand dollars to replace two important – but very different – pieces of district-owned equipment. At the board’s monthly meeting last Friday, the members heard from their head of Waste Management, Tim DesChamp, that the recycling depot needs a brand new forklift to replace the old one, which will require thousands of dollars of repairs a year to keep it running. They also heard from the district’s treasurer, Jennifer Robb, that a recent independent audit found that the computer system used to manage the district’s finances is rife with errors and either needs to be replaced or be repaired and improved by technicians. With the district’s accounting system, an audit was done recently that discovered over 2,000 errors in the system known as ACCAP, which is used by staff to keep track of all of the district’s money. The reason for the errors is because staff have had inadequate training on how to use it, the database has not received as much maintenance as it should, and the district has been using a “band-aid approach� to fixing errors instead of looking for the root causes. According to board member, Des Nobles, the software has caused nothing but grief for staff over the years. Robb presented the board with three solutions: to simply have the staff make-do with the system as it is, to spend $16,200 repairing the current system, or spend $48,000 to put in place and train staff to use a better designed system using software meant for use by local governments
called VADIM. Robb argued that despite the higher price tag, the new system has many advantages such as round-the-clock support from the company selling the software, and that the district can draw on the experience of the many other communities already using VADIM. The board decided to approve the purchase and installation of the new system using the surplus funds left from the 2011 budget. It will take time to put the new system in place, so staff will have to put up with the current one as it is until spring. As for the forklift, DesChamp said the Prince Rupert Recycling Depot’s current forklift is so old and well-used that it is quickly becoming unusable. By the Waste Management supervisor’s estimation, the district could put $8,000 worth of repairs into the machine and it likely only last six months before it broke down again. The forklift is even too old to keep as a spare or to sell used to someone else. DesChamp says the only realistic thing to do with it would be to sell it for scrap, but even then, they would only get about $1,000 for it. Board members asked if it would be more cost-effective just to buy a used forklift instead of a brand new one. The problem with that, according to DesChamp, is that most used forklifts will also require regular maintenance and the nearest people to do that are in Terrace. He says that the money and time required for maintenance is not worth the money saved by buying used. The new forklifts hefty price tag of $31,000 can be paid for with the excess recycling revenues from 2011, without needing to dip into the district’s regular funds.

◆ REGIONAL NEWS
Shell buys terminal in Kitimat as it looks to export LNG By Malcolm Baxter Black Press With KM LNG and the BC LNG Co-operative already on the path to locating LNG plants in Kitimat, Shell Canada has now officially added its name to the list. Cenovus announced last Thursday that it had sold the old Methanex site to Shell. Back in 2005 Cenovus entered into a five-year agreement with Methanex under which Methanex handled the condensate being imported by Cenovus through the closed methanol plant’s terminal. Under that agreement Cenovus had first right of refusal if Methanex decided to sell the site within that five year period. And after that five years, assuming no other buyer had come along, Cenovus would have to buy it from Methanex. Cenovus did that in November of last year, but when delivering its first quarter results for 2011 stated it planned to sell the site (Northern Sentinel, March 23). Explaining the sale, Cenovus
spokesman Rhona DelFrari told the Sentinel, “terminal service is not part of Cenovus’ core business, we are in the oil and gas industry.” Therefore it had never been the company’s intention to keep the property. “So, over the last few months we have been speaking with various parties about the potential sale.” DelFrari added Cenovus believed the sale was in the best interests not just of its shareholders, but also the community of Kitimat. As for what happens with the importing of condensate, she said the amount going through Kitimat’s terminal represented about 20 per cent of the company’s needs. And that would continue for “the foreseeable future”. However, she added, “Possibly, at some point in the future when Shell makes a decision about the future of that terminal, then we may have to look elsewhere for our diluent.” But since Cenovus had signed the original deal with Methanex, “many more sources of diluent have opened up in North America
CANCER SUPPORT…
so we’re confident we will be able to find diluent elsewhere.”. As for how much Shell has paid for the site, DelFrari said that under a confidentiality agreement it could not be released.Cenovus bought the site from Methanex for about $37 million. Shell spokesman Stephen Doolan also declined to reveal the purchase price. “It’s in the early stages so we can’t really get into details on the cost side,” he said in an interview. As for whether Shell intended to locate an LNG plant on the site, he would only say that Shell and its joint venture partners were “exploring the potential”. He said those partners are Korea Gas, Mitsubishi of Japan and the China National Petroleum Company. “Getting the location is part of the early stages of exploring the project,” Doolan repeated. Not surprisingly, mayor
Joanne Monaghan was upbeat about the announcement. “I was really pleased,” she said. “This is good news for

◆ MUNICIPAL ELECTION
Meet the candidates in the race for Prince Rupert mayor The Prince Rupert Northern View offered all three candidates for Mayor the opportunity to submit a profile for publication, capped at 350 words. They appear below alphabetically by last name. Note that instead of writing a candidate profile on himself as other candidates have done, Mr. Mussallem asked that a reporter come and interview him for the profile instead.
Kathy Bedard
I am currently serving in my 15th year as City Councillor for the City of Prince Rupert. Professionally, I am the Executive Director for Hecate Strait Employment Development Society, which administers employment-based contracts for both the Province and Canada on the North Coast, including Haida Gwaii. The Society brings in an average of $2 million in funding dollars to the community, employs 26 individuals (currently) with a wage budget of almost $700,000. We also pay taxes of more than $30,000 to the City. A long-time resident of the region, I have served as a School Trustee/Board Chair for SD #52, I volunteer on various community committees for crime prevention, substance abuse, multiculturalism and I have assisted many not for profits in writing proposals for funding. As a City Councillor, I have provided a strong voice for the social issues locally, provincially and federally and have
advocated strongly for the clean up and safety concerns impacting neighbourhoods in the City. I am now running for the position of Mayor of Prince Rupert. My ongoing vision for the community/region – that we have a very bright future – is now being realized! We must take advantage of the support of partners, such as CN, Maher Terminals, our First Nations neighbours, and the Province, and truly become the Door to the Rest of Canada. That means having a community and region ready participate fully in the opportunities that will come, to create a business climate which attracts new business and sustains the businesses which have supported the area for the long-term. It also means that we must create a balanced approach to community development by meeting both environmental and business/industry growth demands. I am proud to represent Prince Rupert. I am capable of hard work and I am dedicated to seeing our community and region prosper. I know that Prince Rupert will fulfill its destiny as a growing, world class port and will play an important role in the continuing development of the Province of BC and Canada and I am hopeful for the community’s support in the upcoming election on November 19th.
Corinna Morhart
Corinna Morhart moved to
Prince Rupert in fall of 2002. Corinna has lived in the Northwest close to 40 years and spent 10 years in NE BC. Corinna’s mother, Geraldine Rhyason (aka Topsy Edgar) was born here in 1942 during WWII. Corinna’s parents, Topsy and Jim Morhart were married in 1959 in Prince Rupert. Corinna’s Maternal side is from Lax Kw’alaams and Paternal side is from Austria. Both of Corinna’s Granddaughters (Eva & Peyton) were born and continue to live in Prince Rupert. Corinna’s Mother’s cousin, Barbara Sheppard and her children continue to reside in Prince Rupert and Port Edward. Corinna remembers as a child, coming to visit family in Prince Rupert and with Barbara and Alan (late and former Mayor of Port Edward). Since moving to Prince Rupert, Corinna discovered more family members: Leonard and Mona Alexcee. Corinna has three grown children: Natasha (Tim) who presently lives in New Westminister and works at the RCMP’s Forensic Lab; Jessica lives in Prince Rupert and has just completed her Associate Degree at NWCC and has two beautiful daughters: Eva & Peyton; David (Madison) lives in Grande Prairie and completed his Class One Drivers license, and they have a handsome son, Luka. Corinna believes in education and returned to school in 2003 and she completed in five years: NWCC in Prince Rupert (20032005): Entrepreneurial Tourism Management & Business Administration Certificate, Business Administration Diploma. An opportunity to further her education, Corinna then completed her Bachelor of Social Worker (BSW) at the UNBC campus in Prince Rupert and then completed the Child Welfare Certificate (2008). Corinna has over 21 years experience in the retail and service
industry. Corinna worked in the Real Estate Industry for five years and co-owner of the Sears retail/ catalogue outlet in Terrace. Since graduating from UNBC Corinna has been employed with the Ministry of Children and Family Development. Corinna is compassionate about social issues (education & health); environment (ensuring a healthy environment now and for future generations); and economic issues (ensuring opportunities not only for the business sector, but for all individuals). Corinna believes the HEART of Prince Rupert, are the PEOPLE.
Jack Mussallem
Jack Mussallem believes that Prince Rupert should re-elect him as Mayor because his background in local governance make him well suited to continue leading the community as it undergoes big economic changes over the next few years. “I’ve got the education, the knowledge, and the experience to do the work. Over the years I’ve worked for five different local governments, 19 years of doing that, I’ve had seven years . . . as Prince Rupert’s mayor,” says Mussallem. Prince Rupert is Mussallem’s home town. He was born and raised here, and his family has been part of the community since the pioneer days. Because of this, he says he feels a strong connection
to the city and the people . “Everyday I spend a lot of time out in the community. I’m talking to people, I have a good feel for this community and an understanding of the community,” said Mussallem. Unlike other local politicians, Mussallem has no day job that he needs to go to. This, he says, allows him to put his entire working day into being the Mayor and to spend more time working on issues and promoting the community’s interests. “I enjoy what I’m doing. Every morning that I get up, my first consideration is for the City of Prince Rupert. I don’t have somebody else to answer to, I don’t have somewhere else to be. And that allows me with my education, experience, and knowledge to maximize what I do for the City of Prince Rupert, and what I do for the people of Prince Rupert,” says Mussallem. Mussallem believes that the most important things a mayor should do is to talk to residents about their concerns; to guide the council, to be the “chief spokesman of the community”; and to promote the community and the interests of its people to other levels of government, businesses and organizations. “The role of the mayor is to lead, the role of the mayor is to facilitate. Its really a servant/ leader relationship . . . nobody will promote us but ourselves,” says Mussallem.
Look for profiles of the candidates for Prince Rupert City Council in next week’s issue of the Prince Rupert Northern View. General Election Day is November 19, and the AllCandidate’s Forum hosted by the Prince Rupert and District Chamber of Commerce is scheduled for the evening of November 8 at the Lester Centre of the Arts.

◆ HALLOWEEN
RCMP safety tips By Cst. Fredheim The Northern View Hallowe’en is fast approaching which means kids are out in the streets in dark clothing and masks all excited and sometimes not paying attention to traffic. The Prince Rupert RCMP would like to make sure everyone has a safe and happy Hallowe’en. Here are a few tips to help make that happen: 1. Motorists need to take extra caution by decreasing speeds and be prepared to make sudden stops 2. If costumes are dark in colour, put some reflective tape on the front and back of costumes to make them visible 3. Parents should accompany their children while they trick or treat 4. Children should not enter homes, but remain on the door step 5. Children should not eat their treats until parents have inspected them 6.Avoid cris-crossing the street. Go down one side then carefully cross and go back up the other side The 24th Annual Hallowe’en Fest is taking place at the Jim Ciccone Civic Centre on Monday, October 31, 2011 between six and eight p.m. Children have the opportunity to play games, participate in the costume parade and collect candy and other treats. Fireworks are prohibited in the City of Prince Rupert and there will be zero tolerance with people in possession of fireworks. A fireworks display, sponsored by Hallowe’en Fest, The Prince Rupert Fire Department and the RCMP, will be held outside the Civic Centre starting at 8:15 p.m.

◆ MUSICAL PERFORMANCE
Pavlo brings Mediterranean sound to Rupert By Martina Perry The Northern View On Friday, October 21, a Mediterranean musician known as Pavlo enthralled audience members at the Lester Centre of the Arts when he and his band performed a concert as part of their Canada-wide tour. This was not Pavlo’s first trip to the City of Rainbows, as he performed here in the early 2000’s and promised that the show in Prince Rupert would be the best concert they performed on the 2011 tour. Pavlo, and his band mates George Vasilakos, Gino Mirizio and Randy Rodrigues, stuck to their promise and captivated the audience with an arrangement of different instruments including the Greek bouzouki, baglama, Chinese ehru, Portugese guitarra, the guitar, Arabic flute and Indian sitar. There was also a sense of surprise, as Pavlo and his band do not have a
set list, they decide what songs they are going to play on stage. Additionally, many of the songs they performed last Friday evening were new material, with some of them being performed live for the very first time in Prince Rupert. Pavlo and his band are currently touring around Canada after releasing their ninth album entitled “Sixth String Blvd”. The Martina Perry photo group has been, and will continue Pavlo performs at the Lester Centre of the Arts on Friday night. to, visit communities mainly in British Columbia, but also in beautiful-sounding Mediterranean group has been responsible for Saskatchewan and Ontario.

◆ MUSICAL PERFORMANCE
White Spider enterains crowd By Martina Perry The Northern View Vancouver-based Mascall Dance presented “The White Spider” at the Lester Centre of the Arts this weekend, a contemporary dance production full of impressive acrobatics that tells the story of the first successful group to climb Mount Eiger. The White Spider was a fusion of different dance disciplines and mountaineering athletics. The dancers performed acrobatic-like moves on a number of different props that the dancers emanated climbing a mountain on including a large disc that rises, spins and tilts, as well as ladders and ropes that dancers climbed on. The performance takes its name and inspiration from Heinrich Harrer’s 1938 book about the first team, which included author Harrer, to complete climbing the north face of Mount Eiger located in Switzerland. The artistic director of the production was Jennifer Mascall, who established Mascall Dance in 1989 after being one of the six co-founders of Martina Perry photos the Experimental Dance and Music group. Mascall says that the dances she creates are the results of There was plenty of rope-work and dance above the stage as Mascall Dance presented White physical experiments and are her physical thoughts Spider at the Lester Centre on Saturday night. a b o u t how she perceives t h e world.

I (WE) BUILT THIS
SILVERSIDES Robert Arthur Silversides was born at Prince Rupert, B.C. on May 5, 1923 and passed away at Surrey, B.C. on September 26, 2011 after a brief illness. He was predeceased in July, 2009 by his loving wife, Ida, whom he sorely missed. He is survived by his three children, Don, Doug and Kathy (Ron), his granddaughter, Nicole, and his brother, Cliff. Robert grew up in Prince Rupert and served in the air force during World War II. After the war he returned to Prince Rupert to take over the family business which had been established in 1907. He and Ida were married in 1946 and they raised their family in Prince Rupert until the mid-1960â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when they moved to Vancouver and he established a new business at 45th and Fraser. He Ă&#x20AC;nished his business career as the manager of a general paint store in North Vancouver. A man of great principle, his life was exempliĂ&#x20AC;ed by integrity, honesty and reliability. At his wish, there was no formal funeral service. A reception for family and close friends was held at his home in Surrey.

◆ CIHL ACTION
Rampage hand the Ice Demons their first loss of the season But the Demons, the defending league and Coy Cup champs, were not about to call it a night. Just under 90 seconds in Craig Hewitson pulled Kitimat to within one on the powerplay, while a powerplay marker from Brandon Wakita tied things up with 10:15 to play in the period. The Rampage showed they were determined to pick up the win though, with Brlecic netting his second of the game with about eight minutes to play and Jeremy Boot scoring a rare shorthanded breakaway goal to give the home team the two goal lead. While it looked like that would last into the final frame, a powerplay goal by Kitimat’s Kyle Boudreault with just 13 seconds left narrowed the gap to one and set up an exciting finish. But after a period that saw a combined five goals, Movold
By Shaun Thomas The Northern View The Prince Rupert Rampage took to the ice against the undefeated Kitimat Ice Demons on Saturday night and came away with their first win of the 2011/2012 campaign while handing the Demons their first loss. After more than 10 minutes of back and forth skating that saw both Kitimat’s Kolin Alderman and Prince Rupert’s Keith Movold shutting the door on the offence, the Rampage opened the scoring when Chris Brlecic’s slapshot from the circle found the back of the net. The Rampage would add to that lead with 3:22 to play as Justin Fontaine fed Byron Tate who put it by Alderman. After 20 minutes the Rampage enjoyed a 2-0 lead.

In other western conference action, the Terrace River Kings downed the Omenica Ice 6-3 to narrow the gap with Kitimat in the west to just two points. The Rampage will host the unbeaten Smithers Steelheads on Saturday night and the 3-2 Houston Luckies on Sunday afternoon for doubleheader action. Look for results next week.

By Alan S. Hale The Northern View The 2nd Tribal Nations Tournament was held at the Jim Ciccone Civic Centre in Prince Rupert this past weekend. Basketball teams representing Aboriginal communities all over the northwest BC came to the city to see who had the best basketball squad this year. In the Intermediate Division this year, it came right down to the wire, but Lax Kw’alaams managed to snag first place away from the Prince Rupert Friendship House 72 to 70. The Most Valuable Player award for the Intermediate division went to Charlie Leeson from Lax Kw’aams. The all stars were Martin Lewis from Kitkatla, the Friendship House’s Daniel Haldane and Adrian Robinson, and Colten Wesley and Marvin Sampson from Lax Kw’alaams. In the women’s division, first place went to Kitamaat after they defeated the Prince Rupert Rain 61 to 39. Third place went to Kincolith.

School District superintendent says recess not at risk or being cancelled this year By Martina Perry THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

www.citywest.ca
PRINCE RUPERT - School District 52 Superintendent Lynn Hauptman has recently announced that recess will remain a daily occurrence in schools in the community, despite the extra effort it will and has been causing. “We took a look at it in our district in terms of how we are
doing, and things are tougher and it’s certainly putting extra stress and strain on people, but at this point in time it wouldn’t be our recommendation,” explained Hauptman. This year, the district has made some different organizations in order to cover recess, and before and after school by getting exempt staff and school principals to supervise stu-
dents instead of teachers, who have stopped performing the supervision roles as part of Job Action. Previously, Hauptman had said that canceling recess was an option for the district, however administrative staff all agreed that canceling these breaks could be unbeneficial for the students, as the exercise and breaks from class have proven effective with
students, as well as the fact that the cancellation would make staff members that need to travel around the district to different schools very difficult to do. Many school districts around the province have taken the steps to canceling recess, including Prince George, the Cowichan Valley, Qualicum, Vernon, and more.
