Colonial Coal announced on November 3 that it had reached a memorandum of understanding with the Lax Kw’alaams and Metlakatla First Nations for a joint venture that would purchase Watson Island from the City of Prince Rupert. As part of the MOU, Colonial Coal and the Coast Tsimshian will compensate the City for land expenses while undertaking a feasibility study on the use of the island. “We met with Wayne Drury, who represents Coast Tsimshian, and looked at what could be done with the property....Our

LITTLE KNITTERS…
By Alan S. Hale The Northern View
The Port of Prince Rupert continued to make big increases in cargo traffic last month when compared to just one year before. The total number of TEUs (averagesized cargo containers) going to and from Fairview Terminal in October was 50.1 per cent higher than it was a year ago, increasing to a total of 41,465 TEUs. This is basically the same amount of containers that were shipped to and from Fairview Terminal the month before. Imports at the container terminal were up from last year by 68.4 per cent to 23,507.5 TEUs in October. This is down about 1,400 TEUs from September traffic levels. Exports from the port grew in October as well, but not nearly as much as imports. They increased by 31.4 per cent to a total of 17,957.5 TEUs. This is down about 2,500 TEUs from September. The city’s port has been growing so fast since it opened that it has caught the attention of the US Government, which is currently conducting an investigation to determine if Prince Rupert has an unfair

competitive advantage. There was a huge increase in the amount of logs moving through the Prince Rupert Harbour last month over the year before. This October, workers moved 56,980 tonnes worth of logs, a whopping 165 per cent increase over the year before; but only about 2,200 tonnes more than they moved in September. At the Prince Rupert Grain Terminal there were also a massive increase in grains being shipped out of Ridley Island. In October they shipped out 605,680 tonnes of barley, canola and wheat. This
is a staggering increase over last year of 214.4 per cent. A 60,000 tonnes increase from September when they were shipping less grain that the pervious year. The big increases just keep on coming at Ridley Terminals where they had also shipped out less coal in September than they did the year before. In October though, they shipped out $1.03-million tonnes of metallurgical and thermal coal, and petroleum coke. This is 162.7 per cent more than October of last year and half a million more than they shipped in September.

On November 3 at 8:44 p.m. Masset RCMP received a report of a 67 years old pedestrian being struck by a vehicle on Raven Ave. in Old Massett. Members of Masset RCMP arrived on scene and found the elderly male victim unconscious and suffering from life threatening injuries. Members of Old Massett Fire Rescue and several bystanders provided first aid to the victim until BC Ambulance Service were able to take over care and transport to Masset Hospital. Unfortunately the victim
succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced deceased shortly after being admitted to hospital. The driver of the vehicle that struck the victim stopped immediately and has been cooperating with the investigation. Witnesses have been interviewed as the Masset RCMP are attempting to find how this incident took place. The preliminary investigation has found that speed and alcohol were not factors. Traffic Services accident reconstructionists, the BC Coroners service and BC Motor Vehicle Inspection are assisting with the investigation.

◆ CANADA-US PORT COMPETITIVENESS
US Maritime Commission outlines scope of investigation By Alan S. Hale The Northern View The US Federal Maritime Commission has released information on the scope of their investigation into whether or not the Port of Prince Rupert and other Canadian ports have an unfair advantage over those on the US west coast. The commission’s investigation will centre mostly around the Harbour Maintenance Tax; a tax of charged to every carrier that uses a US port based on 0.125 per cent of whatever the cargo is worth. To put that in perspective, the Prince Rupert Northern View asked the Port of Seattle to calculate what the tax costs per container. The American port said that the average price is $80 per container, but it can cost as low as $40 or as high as $250 depending on what’s inside. Much of the investigation will look into whether or not the maintenance tax is what is causing carriers to start switching to ports that don’t charge it, like Prince Rupert, only to send their goods to American markets by train instead. The investigation was sparked when a group of Congress members from west coast states wrote the Commission with concerns that the tax was hurting American competitiveness by driving away shipping companies to Canadian ports. But, if the lack of a maintenance tax is not what is attracting shipping companies to Prince Rupert – which is what the Prince Rupert Port Authority maintains – the Maritime Commission wants to hear alternative explanations backed up with hard evidence. The commission has published a list of the different kinds of information they want to hear from the public and industry testimony. They want to hear what exactly the difference is in how

OPINION
MY VIEW…
Finally, good news from Watson Island The ongoing saga of Watson Island took another turn this week with the announcement of an MOU between Colonial Coal and the Coast Tsimshian to explore the potential of purchasing Watson Island from the City, who still own the old pulp mill site following Sun Wave Forest Product’s failure to pay taxes. It’s important to note this announcement takes place while the property is still the focal point of two legal challenges (at least as of Monday). One involves Sun Wave’s claim to the property. The other is much more complicated and precedent setting and deals with whether or not municipalities have to consult with First Nations before selling property, if Aboriginal title is exclusive to one band and only one band on a given property and whether the Gitxaala or Lax Kw’alaams First Nation claim Aboriginal title to Watson Island. But that’s in the background, right now from where I sit the announcement of this MOU can only be viewed as positive for the community, the region and the province. The news release was about as vague as could be, and the CEO of Colonial Coal said a confidentiality agreement negated any chance of discussing plans for the site for the near future. Right now Colonial Coal has two properties being developed in northeastern BC, and are likely looking for a way to get their product to the lucrative Asian market. Coast Tsimshian Resources, owned by the Coast Tsimshian, have developed relationships with businesses in that market, have a trade office in China and are successfully shipping
logs to China as I type. Seems like a good partnership to me. Yes, Prince Rupert already has a coal terminal, but looking at the stats for October, the company is already 22 per cent above the pace of their record year in 2010 and were up 162.7 per cent from last October. Combine that with new long-term
agreements signed last week and they’re going to be busy. Maybe the market can handle another export facility? When the CEO said their plans will be good for the community and the port, I certainly see no reason not to believe him.

After so much history, nothing left but the tales of war Tales of war are always a hit with visitors to Prince Rupert. A year after Major B.D.C. Treatt of the British Army arrived in Canada to review coastal defences in October 1936, the Canadian government began building the seven coastal batteries of Prince Rupert harbour. The Canadian government was ready – had already been waging war for over two years – when the Americans were surprised and unready after Pearl Harbor. By the spring of 1942 the RCAF had stationed 115 (Fighter) Squadron at Annette Island (New Metlakatla) – Canadians defending US territory – and the US made Prince Rupert a Sub-Port of Seattle. Alaska was at first supplied through Prince Rupert, and everything grew even more frenetic in June 1943 when the Japanese attacked Dutch Harbour and then occupied Siska and Attu.

The coastal defence batteries – described to me by Parks Canada as the best preserved in the country, and national treasures – lie overgrown in the forest at Barrett Point and ignored by all except those who would see them razed to make way for new development. These could each be opportunities. Opportunities to tap into an existing market, a ready audience – particularly among fellow Canadians, and American cruise ship passengers, who hunger to touch the Second World War memories of their parents’ generation. Opportunities to celebrate a proud heritage, the only time in history when Prince Rupert’s port truly played on a world stage. But time passes, interest surges just once a year on November 11, and soon we will be left with nothing but the tales that we spin to amuse the visitors.

Enbridge addresses landslide concerns along the route By Andrew Hudson Black Press Enbridge is doing extensive geotechnical work to avoid the risk of landslides along the proposed route of the Northern Gateway pipelines, says director of engineering Raymond Doering. “We understand, totally, the features in the area that have resulted in slides that might have affected other pipelines or highways or railways,” he said.
“What we’ve done is work to identify a route that avoids those hazards.” Doering said the proposed route runs south of existing pipelines, such as the Pacific Natural Gas pipeline that crosses the Telkwa Pass. Other new pipeline proposals, like the Pacific Trails Pipeline, are following that lead. Over the last 30 years, landslides cut the more northern PNG pipeline three times. But geotechnical knowledge
has come a long way since then, Doering said. For example, he said, surveyors now realize why it’s important to know that some 10,000 years ago, the Kitimat Valley was the bottom of the ocean. That land rebounded as Ice Age glaciers melted away, leaving pockets of glacial marine clay that is unstable. “That’s a very well understood condition now,” Doering said. “But it wasn’t well understood when the original PNG pipeline
was routed down to Kitimat over 40 years ago.” Enbridge is doing ongoing fieldwork—digging bore holes, doing remote-sensing flyovers and aerial photography—to assess such risks, he said. Enbridge began its geotechnical surveys in 2005. Last year, the company submitted a long report detailing its geotechnical surveys for the Joint Review Panel that is assessing the project. “We don’t just look on the corridor,” Doering explained. “We look as far to either side

of the corridor as necessarily, and sometimes it’s many kilometres.” Wherever possible, Doering said the proposed route avoids geohazards. Where hazards are unavoidable, his team will engineer ways to mitigate risk. Enbridge plans to dig two tunnels, one 6.5 km and one 6.6 km long, to route its twin pipelines under the Coast Mountains. “It’s a huge investment in the safety of the workers and for the long-term operation in the pipeline,” he said.

I have raised two children in Prince Rupert and both are graduates of our local public education. I have been a volunteer in our community at every opportunity. I am a lifetime member of the Northern B.C. Winter Games and I currently sit on the board of the North Pacific Cannery. All this experience would make me an asset to the Prince Rupert School Board. If our School Board is willing to work with all our stakeholders, we can solve many of our problems locally. We must put our resources into supporting the great work we currently do, in spite of difficult constraints. What little money the Board has, must be spent as close to learners as possible, to relieve class size/composition issues. Board money is too scarce to be spent on outside consultants, endless grievances and arbitrations. We do good work in our District. Our School Board needs to recognize that good work in a concrete way and not just pay lip service to it.

Barbara Gruber is an avid community volunteer who was was born and raised in Prince Rupert. Now she’s a grandmother with a grandson in grade 9 and she’s running for a position on the school board. “I want to be part of the process to insure that our tax dollars are being spent wisely by the school district. I’m very interested in safety of the children, the air quality of the schools they’re going to,” says Gruber. Gruber says she already has a number of issues she would push for action on if she was elected by Prince Rupert residents to sit on the school board. First, she says, she wants to have the school board to do something for the kids who have to cross Park Avenue to do so safely instead of dashing across during a lull in the traffic. “It’s time we either lobbying the department of highways or somebody. There is not even a cross walk for children . . .I’m very concerned about that, especially with 200 trips back and forth of container traffic on Park Avenue” says Gruber. See Candidates, page 10

Continued from page 8 She also would like to see the school district continue to recognize the importance of extra-curricular activities such as music, art and sports. She says that the district should put more money into them instead of placing the burden on parents to come up with the money. “I don’t believe that parents should have to fundraise for everything. There must be something somewhere to cut back so they could allocate some funds – I’m not saying all of it – but some funds to be put to outside of school activities,” said Gruber. Gruber says the number one reason to vote for her is that she will be a strong voice on the board who won’t allow herself to be intimidated into supporting a bad idea, and wants more cooperation and accountability. “School trustees have a responsibility to answer to the tax payers just as they have to have a good relationship with the parents. I believe we all need to work together.” Terri-Lynne Huddlestone I am a long-time resident of Prince Rupert, born and raised in the community. I am widowed and have a 17-year old son who is attending college. I am currently employed with Northwest Community
College and Northern Health Authority. I am seeking re-election on the Board of Education for School District No. 52. My passion for education and learning for all of our students has kept me focused on what is important in our community. Through our district achievement plan we have strategies in place that will continue to help our students excel in their efforts to learn, to achieve and to strive for excellence. It is an exciting time for education with the recent announcement by the Ministry of Education about the new Education Plan that will promote education excellence. I would like to continue the conversations with our education partners on how we can incorporate these changes in our district and how we can better support students. I have been active within the school district since 1997 through my involvement with the Parent Advisory Councils and the District Parent Advisory Council. I also have volunteered at the provincial and national level working with parents and students to promote public education.

It was a natural decision in 2002 to run for school trustee. I have never regretted that decision. It has been a rewarding, and at times daunting, opportunity to affect the lives of the 2000+ students in our community. The children in our public school system face challenges in todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s world that most of us never dreamed of or anticipated. The technological word these children were born into has changed the way we need to prepare them for their future. The instant access to information has enabled our students to be more informed than ever before. We, as policy makers, must ensure that our students are graduating with the necessary skills to not only survive this new world (like us aging citizens) but to succeed and thrive in it. To achieve this will require examination of our current system including curriculum and the age old September to June calendar and courage to change the way we do things. I believe I have demonstrated, in the last 3 years in particular, that I do have that courage and desire to create change that will best benefit the students today and into the future.

Mz Tree (Taylor MacKenzie) was up next, showing off her archery “talents”. Madonna, gymnastics and juggling were incorporated in Mz Anita Zee Planner’s (Zeno Krekic) talent, with balls flying out into the crowd. Finally, Mz Spelled (Shaun Thomas) took the stage, performing a rendition of “Red Neck Women”, changing the lyrics hilariously to suit Prince Rupert for “Rupert Woman”. The second half of the show started off with the swimsuit portion of the competition, with each girl being brought to centre stage to show off their rocking female bodies, before the group performed another dance to “Fever”. It was then time for seven contestants to be eliminated. The final five contestants were Mz. Anita Zee Planner, Mz. Gaga, Mz. Demeanor, Mz. Remembered, and Mz Spelled. The five lovely ladies then moved on the interview portion, answering questions such as “If you could bring one item to a dessert island what would it be?” and “What would you rather be, less beautiful and more smart, or more smart and less beautiful?” In the end, Mz Gaga was crowned the winner of the 2011 Mz Judged competition. The amount raised from the Mz Judged contest was unavailable as of press time. Look in this Friday’s Northern Connector.

Profiling Prince Rupert’s Cy Peck - the only MP to win the Victoria Cross By Tom Korski Hill Times

Remembrance is a ritual in Parliament. Yet a former MP with an astonishing war record, British Columbian and Prince Rupert resident Cy Peck, is forgotten in the House in which he served. Peck remains the only sitting member of any Commonwealth Parliament ever to win the Victoria Cross. “Wow!” said New Democrat Nathan Cullen, MP for Skeena-Bulkley Valley, the riding Peck represented long ago. “As you’re telling me this, it is the first I am hearing of it.” Cullen paused: “I guess it shows Parliament’s weakness in honouring its past. This is a shame. It’s a mistake we can correct.” Peck died of a stroke in 1956. He left no memoirs. “My father was a modest man,” recalled Ed Peck, 86 “He didn’t regard his achievements as worthy of praise. He felt he just did a job.” And his Victoria Cross? “He kept it in a drawer in his bedroom.” Coveted by collectors worldwide, Peck’s VC might have sold for six figures at auction; instead the family made a gift of it to his old battalion, the 16th Canadian Scottish, in 1987. Peck loved the battalion; he was the first Canadian commander of the war to “restore the ancient tradition of piping men into action,” Ed recounted in a privately published biography Cy Peck, VC. At Vimy, Peck led troops into combat with a bagpiper at his side and a pistol in his hand, roaring above the shell fire: “She’s a bear, boys! She’s a bear!” Today, Peck’s VC is preserved at the Canadian War Museum in Ottawa. Greg Kerr, chairman of the Commons’ veteran affairs committee, was at the museum the other day. “We’ve all become used to the simple
soundbite,” he said. “There used to be stories. Now we’re in such a rush.” Kerr is Conservative MP for West Nova. Years ago he taught high school history in Bridgetown, N.S. He had a great uncle, John Chipman Kerr, who received the VC in 1916. “History is not about memorization,” he said. “It’s about the lesson to be learned: “What does this mean?” Parliament Hill takes pride in its historical memory. Scores of plaques are displayed in tribute to obscurities. One commemorates an 1814 raid on French Mills, N.Y.; another commemorates an MP who died in a fire. For Cy Peck: nothing.
“I did not know about this individual,” said Conservative MP Rob Moore (Fundy Royal, NB), chairman of the Commons Heritage Committee. “Someone who’s awarded the Victoria Cross: Canadians should learn more about this man.” Moore’s committee is planning the nation’s 2017 sesquicentennial celebration. Perhaps it should honour people like the fighting MP from Skeena, he said. Peck enlisted at 43. In surviving newsreel footage he stands a burly figure with a walrus moustache; Peck was 5’˙8” and 225 lbs. “He was big, powerful - huge arms; built like a rugby player,” said his son. Peck tramped for gold in the Klondike, worked as a farm hand in Kansas and a carpenter in London. He settled in Prince Rupert in 1908 as one of the founders of the town and partner in a salmon cannery. “To us he is well known,” said Jean Eiers-Page, a Prince Rupert city archivist. “We display his portrait on Remembrance Day.” Peck’s story dramatizes wartime service that today is almost unthinkable. Twenty-seven MPs went on active service in the First World War; one was killed in action, George Baker of Brome, Que. He is immortalized in a life-sized statue in the Commons foyer. Another MP, Henri Bacland of Beauce, Que., was holidaying in Europe at the outbreak of war and volunteered to aid refugees. Bacland was captured in occupied Belgium, and survived to write the liveliest memoir of any Parliamentarian: My Three Years in a German Prison. In Alberta, one-fifth of the legislature enlisted. In Nova Scotia, the lieutenant-governor saw five sons in uniform. The defence minister, Sidney Mewburn of Hamilton, Ont., had 22 nephews and cousins on the Western Front and lost a son killed in action. War was often a family affair; soldiers of the Canadian Expeditionary Force included 1,079 Kellys, 475 Porters and 284 Lalondes. And there was Cy Peck, twice wounded. His battalion suffered 72 per cent casualties in three
months; “One by one my old men go,” Peck wrote. He survived the 1915 Battle of Ypres, 1916 Battle of the Somme, 1917 Battle of Vimy Ridge and 1918 Battle of Arras-Cambrais, where the MP leapt from a shell hole under machine-gun fire to direct British tanks to high ground. The feat earned Peck the VC. He was a “Wonder Man” whose troops “would follow him anywhere,” reported the Montreal Daily Star. “I am sure you’d be having a tough time finding someone here that actually knew about this,” said Conservative MP Gordon Brown (LeedsGrenville, Ont.), a member of the Committee on Canadian Heritage. In Parliament, said Brown, “there is not a collective memory.” Peck served one term in the House. He was an Independent. He was a Liberal, then Conservative, then concluded “there is very little difference between the two” he told the Commons in 1919; “In the trenches we have no politics.” Peck lost re-election by 38 votes in 1921, a hard year for incumbents. He later served nine years in the BC legislature but was “disillusioned by politics” said Ed Peck. “He was too independent. He was not the kind of man to toe a party line.” Cy Peck served. And Parliament does not know his name. Editor’s note: We would like to thank Mr. Korski for allowing us to reproduce this article on Cy Peck. The Prince Rupert Regional Archives also graciously provided this additional information on Mr. Peck. - Cy Peck and his nephew Don Moore built Cassiar Cannery in 1903 and four years later was involved with the Georgetown Sawmill, 17 miles north of Prince Rupert. He was also an agent for the shipping firm Lloyds of London. - He was a member of the Masonic Temple, charter member of the Prince Rupert and Wanderer’s Clubs, and a member of the Board of Trade. Source: Prince Rupert Pioneer’s Association, 1914 - Peck was awarded the Victoria Cross medal in 1918 for bravery.

Honouring the veterans of war and recognizing the role of the North Coast in the battles
Our role in the World War II By Alan S. Hale The Northern View When we look at our remote little city, it’s hard to think of this sleepy patch of rainforest as having any particular significance or affect on what goes on in the world. The challenges the globe faces are so large, nuanced and intimidating; and we are so small and just trying to keep dry most of the time. How could a small group of a couple thousand people ever make an impact on global issues that seem so far out of our control? But, it seems that every time this town finds itself needing to step up to the plate, the people here pull together and achieve things that people who might judge us on our size and remoteness may not think us capable of. Today we stand at the precipice of a colossal change in how the world’s economy works. The Asian economies are on the rise and the people here have jumped head first into this brave new reality and sometimes there’s a very real sense feeling that if we fail we could take down the community with us. But before we were trading with those across the Pacific, we were at war with them. Before the Second World War, Prince Rupert was little more than a large fishing community nestled in a corner of the world that was of little consequence to anyone other than those who lived here. Then Pearl Harbour happened. Because of our proximity to Japan, what was once an anonymous community of 6,000 people quickly grew into a small fortress of 35,000 people. For those living here before the war the change must have left their own town unrecognizable to them in just a few short years. Nine different forts complete with ant-aircraft guns sprouted around the community. The city’s waterfront was turned into essentially a floating factory complete with its machine shops dry dock and supply depots. The main supply warehouse and its rail
yard had to be camouflaged so that ships at sea couldn’t see it and fake trees were placed on top to hide it from enemy bombers. There was a real fear that the Japanese would send hydrogen-filled paper balloons armed with incendiary bombs to fly across the ocean and cause forest fires wherever they landed. With 19,000 new people coming into the city for the war effort, infrastructure and housing had to be built with lightning speed – with 1940’s technology and our weather, no less – many of which is still being used or lived-in today. The transformation from quiet fishing town to a strategically important military shipyard almost six times the original size, on the front line of a war that everyone was afraid of losing would have overwhelmed a lesser community. But we pulled our selves together and we did it. And when the war was over and we weren’t as important anymore, the military either tore-down their buildings or left them to rot. People left town and we were left to pick up where we left off after the city had been changed forever. And we managed to do that too. The town went on to prosper until the mill closed and the town fell into the slump that we are now pulling together to get ourselves out of. On Remembrance Day, a lot will be said about what was done overseas. But what is not talked about is the communities back home that had to “keep calm, and carry on” (to borrow the famous British war-time slogan). Communities like Prince Rupert that held public concerts and bake sales to raise money for victory bonds, who had to see their boys go away to fight other boys while
being a strategic military base on the front line of a war with a far from certain conclusion. Prince Rupert may have had its problems and its challenges but it will survive, because that’s what we do - We pull together in times of adversity and we prevail. If every community in Canada could be this strong we would have nothing Prince Rupert City & Regional Archives\ photo

Unfortunately for great value.
One of the things I hear from American tourists travelling through Canada, are curious questions about how expensive all the wines seem to be up here. I have to admit that after taking a few trips to the states over the years I am rather jealous of the sheer glut of beautiful wines that are available at very cheap prices. Two buck chuck isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just a cute way of describing inexpensive wines in the United States â&#x20AC;&#x201C; you can actually find wine that sells for
$2 per bottle! For us as Canadians, we know this just doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happen. The comparisons that I hear about are major California based brands that sell for $4 a bottle in the United States, but show up on Canadian liquor store shelves for $13. Why is there such a difference? In large part the liquor and wine sales in Canada are controlled by a very small group of people. Imagine for a second that we allowed wine agents to import wines from California, mark them up slightly and sell them in liquor

â&#x2014;&#x2020; PARLIAMENTARY COMMITTEE
Port CEO provides input on budget By Alan S. Hale The Northern View MPs from the parliamentary finance committee were in Prince Rupert late last month to gather input for the next federal budget from a handful of representatives from northern BC. Talking to the committee from Prince Rupert was the CEO of the Prince Rupert Port Authority, Don Krusel, and Louisa Sanchez who was representing First Call: BC Child and Youth Advocacy Coalition. They were also joined by representatives from the Mining Association of Canada and the Clean Energy Association of British Columbia. The purpose of the meeting was to gather input and ideas that could be used in the Conservative governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s next federal budget. Meetings like this have been scheduled in communities all over Canada and Prince Rupert was stop number 20. The Port Authority CEO told MPs that the federal governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision to invest over a billion dollars to help build the Fairview Container Terminal was a wise one that has paid off for the community and for the country. Krusel cited the fact that the port has seen its traffic grow year after year since it open for business. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Today the Port of Prince Rupert serves as the North American gateway of the northwest
transportation corridor. This corridor extends to central Canada and also on to Chicago and beyond to Memphis and New Orleans. It connects the populations and industry of central North America to the rapidly growing Asian economies,â&#x20AC;? says Krusel. With the port planning to increase its capacity to 100-million tonnes in the next few years, Krusel told MPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that the Federal Government should continue to spend money on the Prince Rupert Port and other kinds of infrastructure that support trade through the Asia Pacific Gateway with the rapidly rising economies just across the pacific. Failure to do so would be a missed opportunity for Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economic future said Krusel. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Without the continued expansion of port infrastructure, Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s resources and products will be shut out of international markets. It would be like building a grand mansion with many rooms, but with no front door to gain access to its rooms,â&#x20AC;? says Krusel. With such a large increase in ship traffic from northern BC, New Democratic MP, Alain Giguère, wondered if the Prince Rupert Port would be prepared for a tanker or another kind of ship sinking off the North Coast. Krusel said that despite all the concern about a catastrophe from oil tankers, the danger is being exaggerated.

◆ FISHERIES
By Alan S. Hale
MP wants reduction plant deal
The Northern View MP, Nathan Cullen, says that he’s dismayed by the closing of the JS. McMillian processing and rendering plant at the end of last month and the loss of all 82 jobs it provided to Prince Rupert residents. “The reduction plant not being
there is critical to the infrastructure of the region and we’re going to have to sit down with the community and find out what options exist,” said Cullen. Cullen says that having the reduction plant in Prince Rupert “makes perfect sense and only sense to have it there,” but says he doesn’t understand what the obstacles are to keeping the plant open.
“The whims of the fishing industry are difficult to understand even at the best of times. But these are really trying times for the shore workers who are facing an uncertain future, not just in the plants, but in the entire industry,” said` Cullen. Joy Thorkelson with the United Fisherman and Allied Workers Union has said that the closure of the reduction plant doesn’t make
sense because the other processing operations will now be left with nowhere in town to send the offal produced by the processed fish. Without that service she worries that the entire fish processing industry in Prince Rupert is now at risk since the companies might find it easier to offload the fish here and send it down south where they have reduction plants to be processed.

MP Nathan Cullen found himself again having to clarify his own position as the drama surrounding the repeal of the Long Gun Registry continues to unfold in Ottawa. In the past, Cullen has broken ranks with his party to support the repeal of the registry which has been a consistent goal of the ruling Conservatives since they took office. Now the Tories want to destroy all the records from the registry which would effectively prevent the provinces from establishing their own. This has caused anger on the art of some provinces like Quebec, which is now planning to sue the Federal Government for access to the files. Cullen says he supports getting rid of the long gun registry in principle, but says the approach the Tories are using to go about it is excessive. “This is just turning into a mess. The government had a clear mandate to end the Long Gun Registry, and I support that declaration. But nobody in this last election from the Conservatives talked about burning it . . . I feel quite conflicted now that they’ve put this poison pill in the bill,” says Cullen. Cullen accused the Conservatives of wanting to destroy the registry data “out of spite” to prevent the provinces from creating their own. The Tories have argued that the data should be destroyed because it contains personal information on gun owners who have registered.

Rampage hand Quesnel their first loss
It’s holiday time. We offer great catering to your next Christmas or New Years Party!
By Shaun Thomas The Northern View The Quesnel Kangaroos became the second team in as many weeks to roll into the Jim Ciccone Civic Centre arena with an undefeated record only to fall to the Rampage on home ice, as the Rampage took down the Kangaroos in a game that required a shootout to resolve. It was Quesnel that struck first following more than 10 minutes of back and forth play as Alessio Tomassetti put one by Keith Movold with 8:54 to play. The Rampage responded though, as Jared Andreesen’s slapshot on the powerplay got by Josh Levesque made it a 1-1 game with 2:34 to play, but the tie was short lived when Joey MacDonald restored Quesnel’s one goal lead just 51 seconds later and with just 1:43 to play. As a result, Quesnel would take a 201 lead into the second period. Unlike the close opening to the first period, the second period saw the teams tally four goals before five minutes had been played in the frame. Paul Girodat put Quesnel up by two just 49 seconds in, and Justin Fontaine responded with a goal for the Rampage less than 20 seconds after that. 67 seconds later Shawn Fulton found the back of the net to put the Roo’s up by two, and that lead was extended to three when Rigby Bergart put one past Movold at the four minute mark. Things calmed down a bit after that offensive onslaught, and it would be Rupert that struck next with Byton Tates narrowing the gap to two. A goal by Brett Stava with 3:14 to play pulled the Rampage to within one heading into the final 20 minutes, ensuring an exciting finish for the fans in attendance. As the Rampage looked to tie things up and Quesnel looked to protect their lead, the result was an exciting period that remained scoreless until late in the frame when Andreesen put home his

The remainder of the third was scoreless, leading to a shootout with the Kangaroos unbeaten record on the line. In the shootout, Movold turned aside Girodat while Brett Stava got one by Levesque to put the Rampage up one. That would prove to be all they needed, as Movold shut down both Alessio and Nick Tomassetti to give the Rampage the 5-4 victory and their second straight win. In other western conference action, the Kitimat Ice Demons run of bad luck continued as they lost to both the Terrace River Kings and the Quesnel Kangaroos in consecutive shootouts on Saturday and Sunday night to bring their winless streak to four. Terrace defeated Kitimat to lessen the gap in the standings. The Demons lead the conference with 10 points (4-2-2), followed
by the River Kings with six points (3-5-0) followed by the Rampage with five points (2-5-1). The Smithers Steelheads, who were not in action this weekend, are the only unbeaten team in the league. The Rampage will now travel to Terrace for a game against the River Kings on Saturday night. The next time the team plays at home will be on November 26 and 27 for a double-header against the Terrace River Kings on Saturday night and the Hazelton Wolverines on Sunday afternoon.
