Update given on Tsimshian Cultural PavilionBy Shaun Thomas

The Northern View

Te Taru White, the consultant hired for the initial work on a Tsimshian Cultural Pavilion on the waterfront, was back in town last weekend to provide residents of Prince Rupert, Lax Kw’alaams and Metlakatla with an update on the project.

By the end of Monday White and the partners, which include the Prince Rupert Port Authority, Lax Kw’alaams and Metlaktala, were to have identified potential partners, developed a project management framework and White was to have submitted a project prospectus. The next step, which will take place in July, is to present the information and idea to potential partners for funding, with the goal of obtaining the funds for a business case and feasibility study by August 1 so that a request for proposals for the study can be sent out on August 8.

Once the firm doing the study has been

chosen, the hope is to have the study finished by the end of November so that a decision on whether or not to proceed can be made by January, 2012. Should the group decide to go ahead with the pavilion, White says he expects it could open by April, 2013 - just in time for a potential cruise ship return.

“Knowing that the cruise lines book two years in advance, we have some fast talking to do to convince them that we will have something special here in 2013,” he said, noting that the pavilion would need to be part of a bigger Prince Rupert experience.

“I see this as a hub or a portal, and not necessarily a destination, to the best of what Prince Rupert offers...This way people get the 10,000-plus years of history but also what we are today.”

During the presentation White outlined some cultural centres that have seen success but also others who are currently facing challenges, and made it clear that cultural centres can be commercially challenging.

“Culture and commerce must work hand in hand. You may look at the project and see the best return for investment on the bottom line is elsewhere...But the build up of cultural capital has to be considered,” he said.

“Be realistic in that you are not running this to make a lot of money and be realistic that these can be commercially challenging, but you are running this to display the cultural capital you have.”

The partners also have to be realistic and remove the “rose coloured glasses” when it comes to budgeting and projecting the number of visitors to the site each year, something he credits for the challenges facing both the Haida Heritage Centre in Skidegate and Squamish/Liliw’at Centre in Whistler.

“You can’t just say that based on visitor projections we can make this thing hum...With all due respect to tourism stats, when haven’t you seen ones that aren’t optimistic or rosy?”

◆ TIMELINE PROVIDED

By Alan S. HaleThe Northern View

Postal service returned to Prince Rupert this week after the majority Conservative government in Ottawa passed back to work legislation on Saturday night after a filibuster by the NDP, including

MP Nathan Cullen, kept the House of Commons in a debate over the bill for almost 60 hours straight.

Because of the Conservative majority, the eventual passage of the back-to-work legislation was practically guaranteed the moment it was proposed. The legislation is forcing the postal workers to

accept a deal that is actually less that the last offer made by Canada Post before it locked the workers out.

So when Prince Rupert’s postal workers held their last rally in front of the

Canada Post building on Friday there was plenty of resentment aimed at the Conservatives, and Prime Minister Harper in particular.

Postal workers repeatedly chanted “Stop Harper” wore s a n d w i c h boards with anti-Harper slogans and even local MLA Gary Coons got in on it by taking out a cardboard stop sign with “Stop Harper” written on it; a reference to Brigitte DePape, the parliamentary page who took a similar sign during the last throne speech.

Even though the rotating strike and the eventual lockout seemed to have made things worse for the workers, the union still says that it was worth it.

“It sucks that we’re still out here and its possible that ‘gee, we could have gone back

earlier’, but we’re here standing up for every working person in this country. They did it to the Air Canada workers, now they’re doing it to us and we don’t know

who is going to be next. The list is long, and it’s ugly,” says Paula Picard, the Prince Rupert representative for the Canadian Union of Postal

Workers. At the rally there was plenty

of anxiety over what kind of precedent the Federal Government was setting by using legislation so soon after the work stoppage began. Some at the rally predicted that the Federal Government is trying to create a chilling effect on pay increases for other public employees.

“This will go to every other one of the federal contracts, it’s a signal to the other [Public Service Alliance of Canada] workers...And

we need to make sure that we’re united and that we find ways to bring unity to our workers for the next while,” says Joy Thorkelson from of the United Fishermen and Allied Workers Union.

In Ottawa, MP Nathan Cullen joined other members of his party in trying to at least slow down the legislation by using procedure tricks to drag out the debate over the legislation for days. Going into the filibuster, Cullen said that the NDP were hoping to embarrass the government and hopefully get them to change their position.

“We [were] drawing out the clock to let the sides talk more and hopefully smashing some sense into the heads of the government so that they don’t think that bullying every worker in the country is a good way to run the country,” says Cullen.

After 58 hours of debate, the filibuster came to an end and the Conservative majority passed their legislation without changing it.

Human skeleton found during repairs to Metlakatla home

By Alan S. Hale The Northern View

A human skeleton was unearthed in Metlakatla a few weeks ago.

According to the Prince Rupert RCMP, the remains were discovered when someone dug through a basement wall to repair a sewer line.

When the skeletal remains were found, the band called the RCMP and gave forensic investigators photographs of the skeleton for them to analyze. Investigators determined that the bones are very old and do not match up with any missing persons reports.

David Archer is a local archeologist who has worked in the Prince Rupert area for several years, and teaches and Northwest Community College. While he wasn’t been told about the find, he says that he’s not surprised that human remains would be found underneath the modern-day Metlakatla Village.

“There are two archeological sites in the

current area of Metlakatla Village, so it’s not at all unusual if there’s any kind of construction work or disturbance of the ground in that area that human remains might turn up,” says Archer.

Archer says that deposits in the Metlakatla area can be up to 5,000 years old and that most of the human remains found around Prince Rupert are typically 1,500 to 3,000 years old.

“Its definitely a problem when you have an active community on top of an archeological site, people can’t do very much without disturbing the ground in one way or another,” says Archer.

According to the police, the bones were left where they were found and reburied after the photos were sent to the investigators.

The Prince Rupert Northern View tried repeatedly to ask the Metlakatla Band for information or comment about the archeological find but they declined comment on the subject.

Dayweekend!


Some Prince Rupert residents were shocked to see trucks with radiation warnings on them driving down 3rd Avenue in downtown Prince Rupert last week.

The trucks and their apparently radioactive cargo were mentioned at last week’s Labour Council meeting and pictures and speculation of what the trucks might be began surfacing on the Internet. According to the Prince Rupert Port Authority, the trucks that were seen in town were carrying uranium fuel rods, which are to be used in a new nuclear power facility currently being constructed in South Carolina by Westing House Electric Company.

Uranium fuel rods are usually pellets of Uranium Oxide placed inside metal tubes, which are then used in the core of a nuclear reactor to generate electricity. The rods were brought to the city from Beijing and arrived on June 23, on board one of the many Chinese cargo ships that stop in Prince Rupert, the Tian Kang He.

The fuel rods are considered to be “Class 7 dangerous goods” according to Canadian shipping laws, which includes everything from fuel rods to military explosives. The port authority says that because of the dangerous goods classification, Fairview Terminal’s security manager personally inspected the cargo before it left the ship to make sure the proper procedures for transporting it were being followed

“When it comes to Class 7 cargo, there are a great number of security measures that are observed. There is no dwell time onshore; the cargo moves directly from the ship, through the x-ray scanner, and then on to a secured vehicle that leaves the city immediately,” says port authority representative, Michael Gurney.

Some residents have voiced concern that the port never gave anybody notice that they were going to be trucking radioactive materials through

the center of town, and some were shocked that the port was allowed to import dangerous goods without public meetings.

The port says that even though the goods require special precautions, they were not in any real danger of harming any one. They say that the rods were so well shielded inside their containers that they actually gave off less radiation than other kinds of cargo.

“In terms of radiation, when they are scanned – as is all cargo that comes though Fairview- they actually

give off less radiation than Bananas, apparently,” says Gurney.

The port also says that this isn’t the first time that radioactive materials have been shipped through Prince Rupert either; the last time it happened was earlier this year.

Gurney says that because of the nature of international trade, sometimes dangerous goods are going to come through the port of Prince Rupert.

Black bear season now over on Haida Gwaii

By Shaun Thomas The Northern View

On June 24 the province announced that Black Bear season on Haida Gwaii would come to an end on June 27, and that the fall black bear season was also to be closed.

The season closes 72 hours after

public notification that a total of four black bears have been harvested on Haida Gwaii by licensed hunters. The closure covers Wildlife Management Units 6-12 and 6-13.

The black bear hunt has been a point of contention on the island, as islanders have rallied and lobbied to have the hunt ended completely.

◆ ENVIRONMENT


Local MP Nathan Cullen says that he is disappointed by the news that the BC

Supreme Court granted Sun Wave Forest Products the postponement they wanted, which

means that the legal hearings between the company and the City of Prince Rupert are being pushed back until the fall.

“This is very dis-appo in t ing , Rupert is on the upswing but it would help a lot if we could clear this question mark and get that land back into productive work,” says Cullen.

The lawsuit in question was started by Sun Wave, which is contesting the City’s ownership of the Watson Island pulp mill site and their restriction of access to the site’s equipment. The company did try to buy the land back through a tax sale, but the offer was rejected.

The hearings for this case were originally scheduled to go ahead in second half of June, but the company asked the court for more time and for more documents from the City, The court granted this request and now the hearing aren’t set to begin until October 31.

Even if it takes longer than what

was originally hoped, Cullen says he has no doubt what the result of the lawsuit will be.

“I think it’s inevitable that Prince Rupert will be able to take over the land, which will allow for some development. They’ve got a lot of plans waiting in the wings that will get a lot of people back to work,” says Cullen.

The MP accused the company of being intentionally obstructive which, he says, along with a penchant for unnecessary secrecy, are common business practices among companies based in China.

“There’s no accountability in this, which is why we (the NDP) have been very wary of some of the deals that the Harper Government has been signing. Not free-trade deals, but these one-off purchases of Canadian assets with no strings attached,” says Cullen.

As much as he says he doesn’t like how slowly the issue of the Watson Island site is moving forward, he doesn’t think there is

much the Federal Government will be able to do to influence it, at least while the case it before the courts.

“It’s a legally-binding contract that Sun Wave has tied up in the courts so the feds don’t have as much to push on. But when we do get this out of the courts and Prince Rupert gets proper ownership of this thing, we’ll obviously be pushing on the feds to contribute to the future of that property and the entire northwest.”

◆ COURT ACTION

HST pitchedBy Tom Fletcher

Black Press

Finance Minister Kevin Falcon’s speaking tour took him to the Victoria Chamber of Commerce Wednesday, telling business leaders they can “unashamedly” advocate for a harmonized sales tax with a lower rate.

Business people reminded Falcon that not all of them support the HST, and asked why the rate reduction from 12 to 10 per cent can’t take place right away. Falcon replied that the loss of that much revenue has to be phased in over three years, as the federal government did when it lowered the goods and services tax.

Reducing it faster would risk downgrading the province’s triple-A credit rating, Falcon said, so the B.C. government chose to offer $200 million worth of transition payments to families with children and seniors with income less than $40,000 a year instead.

I WILL MARK MY BALLOT ‘YES’ TO SAY ‘NO’ TO THE HSTAs your MLA and a member of the Of cial Opposition, I want you to know exactly why I will vote ‘YES’ to scrap the Liberal government’s HST. • The HST is a massive shift of the tax burden from large corporations onto the backs of average families and small businesses.• The deceptions of the HST cannot conceal the fact many things that had zero provincial tax are now taxed at 7% more. Items such as travel, haircuts, restaurant meals, sports fees, school supplies, safety equipment and household repairs, including making your home energy ef cient or xing a leaky roof.

• Not only will ordinary families pay more with the HST, but it will mean more cuts to vital public services including health care, education, seniors care and other social programs.

We apologize in advance if we have missed any body.

By Monica Lamb-Yorski The Northern View

The commercial troll Chinook fishery off the West Coast of Haida Gwaii was closed late Wednesday evening by the Department of Fisheries and Oceans after DNA samples revealed too many salmon from the West Coast Vancouver Island had been caught.

“We monitor that troll fishery. It’s a weak stock and samples came in indicating the amount of WCVI exceeded the allocated amount,” said DFO Area Chief Resource Manager Dale Gueret Thursday.

It has been estimated that since the troll fishery opened on June 9 and up to June 20, commercial troll fishermen netted 66,000 Chinook. DNA sampling of 661 of those fish showed that seven per cent of the Chinook were from the WCVI stock, exceeding the three percent allocation.

Although it was hoped the fishery would stay open until August 2, it will not be revisited until at least after September 8 when it is assumed that the WCVI will no longer be in the vicinity.

However, said Gueret, trollers will have opportunities to fish for Coho, Pink and Sockeye salmon in July.

For CB Island Fisheries Ltd. in Massett, the closure comes as a swift kick in the pants, said General Manager Alan Frick Friday morning as he headed out to the dock to meet a boat waiting to offload fish.

“It’s been pretty severe because we’ve only had a week and a half of work. Only 50 per cent of the allocated Chinook have been taken and if it doesn’t reopen we’ll be out millions of dollars here,” Frick explained.

“It’s a real blow to the community of Masset.”

Normally his processors would have had four or five weeks of work with the Chinook harvest, now they’ll have to wait until

the coho fishery opens up in July.

The closure has also left some commercial fisherman out of luck because they may have been the ones that waited to get started and

only arrived to start fishing when they learned of the closure.

Some like to wait until the fish have grown because quota is about numbers, not pounds, and sometimes the wait means it’s not going to be as busy on the fishing grounds or at

the fish plants.Others, like Kendall Smith

of Prince Rupert, were lucky to have gone out on the first day the fishery opened. He fished 12 of the 13 days, caught his quota and the additional amount of quota he had rented from someone else.

“Others did it quicker, my boat can only take so many a day because of its size and freezing capacity. Would I have caught more? I don’t know, I didn’t try,” Smith said on Thursday.

Smith participates in the head program and at the end of the season will receive a printout showing where the fish he caught originated from.

“I hope it coincides with what they’ve said,” Smith said of the WCVI stock assessment.

Smith has been fishing for 39 years on the North Coast and e x p e r i e n c e has taught him when it comes to fishing, it’s good to get in, get your fish and get out because it

might close.The troll fishery opened a week

earlier than previous years, partly because the troll fishermen haven’t caught their quota in the last three or four years, and it was hoped that quotas would be realized, but

Smith said it’s always a gamble.“This year mother nature sent

us a strong weak stock,” he said.Gueret said the push to open

earlier came from the trollers and there was a chance if they went in earlier, it would close early.

In the past, test

fisheries occurred before the troll fishery opened. If the abundance of the weak stock was too high, then openings were delayed.

BROWNFIELD INVESTIGATION…

Monica Lamb-Yorski photo

Sonic Environmental Solutions from Richmond was in Prince Rupert this week to carry out detailed site investigation at the City-owned prop-erty at the corner of Cow Bay Road and First Ave-nue East, formerly Northern Industrial Sales. It is the second stage of an investigation of the property being carried out on behalf of the City. The City had applied for a grant to fund the investigation through a Brown Fields Renewal Program, but hasn’t heard back yet, said City Planner Zeno Krekic.

OPINIONNorth Coast

Well, I think after this week’s postal-related gong show (let’s call it what it is here) on Parliament Hill, I think you can stick a fork in collective bargaining when it comes to government operated organizations.

I’ve personally never been involved in a union or union negotiations, but it makes sense that the two parties try and look after their best interests. If they’re unsuccessful in bargaining then striking or lock-outs is the next step to up the pressure to get the two groups back to the table, and if that still doesn’t work then going to binding arbitration makes sense. And if the two still won’t agree, then either the job action carries on or, if it is an essential service, back to work legislation becomes needed. But for that back to work legislation to undermine the original pay increase offered by the employer to the employee is really a slap in the face of the workers and the process as a whole. More so, going back to the original point, proposing legislation that undermines the pay increases offered by management gives the company absolutely zero incentive to get back to the table, to agree to arbitration or to take any steps whatsoever to resolve the matter without government intervention.

As an analogy let’s say you want to buy a car. You offer the dealer $18,000, the dealer comes back and says he won’t accept less than $22,000. Someone comes in and says ‘If you don’t agree on a price in five minutes, the car will be sold for $15,000’. In that situation, are you going to try and resolve the issue with the car dealer or are you going to sit on your butt and keep your mouth shut for five minutes knowing a better

deal is coming your way if you don’t reach an agreement. The sheer ridiculous of it all boggles the mind and, based

on the precedent set by this decision, makes me feel sorry for any union that has a dispute with the Federal Government in the next four years. It basically says to managers, ‘don’t worry, we got your back’. And the truth is, since the Conservatives have a majority, there isn’t a damn thing anyone can do to

stop this from happening again. People can rally, people can write letters, politicians can stall for more than 50 hours non-stop - and the government can do what it wants anyway.

It certainly doesn’t give managers incentive to resolve matters quickly, but I think it may have succeeded in forcing unions take a closer look at potentially unwanted offers they receive...

MY VIEW…

Where’s the incentive to bargain?

I had a chance on the weekend to meet up with blogger Chris Mathieson, who will be spending a couple on weeks on the Northwest Coast.

He’s actually here documenting a project called Skipper Otto’s Community Supported Fishery, but at the same time he’s broadcasting his experience real-time through various social media.

The Community Supported Fishery is itself an interesting project (www.wildbcsalmon.org). If you’ll forgive my simplified description, a cooperative of people buy shares, in advance, in the season’s catch from a commercial fishing boat. They take the same risks in the season as the fishermen, and at the end receive their share of the catch.

This journey has led Chris up the coast to Prince Rupert. He left Sunday for the Nass, and will explore Haida Gwaii before he returns south early next month.

These days it’s increasingly common for our promotional connections to first happen through social media. A year ago New

York-based writer Molly O’Neill, who I first “met” on Twitter a few months earlier, showed up on assignment to Westworld magazine. It was a similar story with Chris. I first heard of him from Robyn Hanson at Think! Social Media, who described him as a social media-savvy museum professional who was until recently with the Vancouver Police Museum.

“I was working at the Police Museum for seven years,” Chris says, “three of those years as Executive Director. In that time, we went from eight or nine thousand visitors to 23,000 visitors per year. A big part of that growth came from bringing more of a marketing focus and awareness, and building the brand – and it has to be a quirky and unusual brand, when you work at a museum that has body parts in formaldehyde! We began working in social media about two-and-a-half years

ago, mostly with Twitter, and it worked because we were quirky and interesting. For awhile we were the most followed museum in Canada. That propelled our subsequent growth. By the end we could say that five to seven per cent of our entire direct revenue was derived from social media – and that was measurable, because we could hold an event that was advertised only through social media, and we could count how

many people showed up.”In this column a couple of years ago I told

the story of Trooper writing the song “Santa Maria.” I wrote, “Instead of eventually tossing the photos in a box, today’s visitors are more likely to blog real-time, to a large audience, about their experience here. We don’t ultimately control that message with marketing campaigns. We control that with customer service, by ensuring that visitors enjoy their time here. The song

‘Santa Maria’ proves that if a visitor has an authentic experience, and enjoys it, we ultimately don’t have to worry about how it will be reported.”

Today Chris is again proving the point. He’s tweeting (@cogno) from a gillnetter, saying things like, “I can’t believe that I’m tweeting an hour off-shore from Prince Rupert, in the middle of a *ton* of rolling water.” That’s an authentic experience – not one that would appear in a tourism brochure, but one that I can guarantee will enchant his followers with the unique experience of coming here in any fashion.

“It’s not marketing,” Chris says. “I’m having a personal adventure that I happen to be sharing with others. You have to be genuine. It has to be a real conversation between real people. People can tell very quickly if you’re selling snake oil.”

Like all bloggers, Chris is what we call an “influencer,” a person whose online presence drives the interest of others. This is, increasingly, the future of marketing and communications.

Golfing and a glass of wine in handThis summer

while you are out working on the golf game, consider trying some wines from the many PGA players past and present who now dabble in vino when you hit the 19th hole.

Many of these wines are available at provincial and independent liquor stores right across Canada.

Canadian Mike Weir produced his first vintage in 2007; his wines are produced in the Niagara region and are widely available across Ontario. Mike’s wines also help to raise money for his Mike Weir Foundation, aimed at helping children with physical, emotional or financial need. With a similar charitable spirit in mind, women’s tour player Cristie Kerr collaborated with Pride Mountain Vineyards out of the Napa Valley to produce the label ‘Curvature’ in support of breast cancer research.

Both Ernie Els and Gary Player have wine labels from South Africa. Gary Player’s label, Black Knight Wines, was an

obvious choice as Gary’s earned the nickname the black knight on the tour for his constant adornment of black clothes. A n n i k a S o r e n s t a m , Arnold Palmer and Luke Donald all have labels coming from

California. While Arnold and Luke both feature a full series of varietals, Annika’s label has launched with just a single wine in 2009. Annika is also a budding chef so in the future don’t be surprised to see her label expand with different varietals.

Funny enough, Jack Nicklaus followed his other ‘Big 3’ members into the tasting room. Both Gary Player and Arnold Palmer were already well established in the wine world and Nicklaus must have felt left out, because he recently became the latest pro golfer to add his name to a wine label.... he certainly won’t be the last.

This weeks’ review is of an

older vintage from a champion series of wines by Greg Norman. These wines have excellent cellaring potential for patient consumers and really are wines that you can take to the bank.

Wine of the weekGreg Norman Coonawarra Cabernet-Merlot 2004 –

[Limestone Coast, Australia]A pioneer in the celebrity wine-

making arena, Greg Norman Estates has been expanding their vineyards throughout Australia and California wine making regions since the 1990’s. This is a gorgeous, velvety wine with a bouquet of leather, sweet smoke and humidor. On the palate black cherry, blackberry and pink peppercorn round out the silky tannins; even with a high percentage of alcohol there is very little heat. This shows well with a rack of lamb or a prime rib entree alongside roasted garlic mashed potatoes and sautéed beets. A great candidate for cellaring, for collectors who can show restraint and can save for nearly a decade – I had the privilege of opening up 2000 Coonawarra Cab-Merlot at Christmas with family in 2008, it was one of the most wonderful wines I have ever had. - 91/100

At a ceremony on June 20 Prince Rupert medical imaging manager Loretta Robinson was named the Health Hero for Northern Health by the BC Health Employers Association. In the citation, it was noted that Robinson “quickly developed the necessary scheduling, budgeting and staffi ng for her department in Prince Rupert so that she could travel to the village of Masset once each month to conduct an ultrasound clinic” after Haida Gwaii was facing the loss of ultra-sound service. During the trips, she would typically see 15 patients per day to ensure everyone who needed ultrasound got it.

By Martina Perry The Northern View

Earlier this month, B.C.’s Environment Minister, Barry Penner, encouraged people in the province to partake in celebrations in commemoration of 100 years of provincial parks, and the Prince Rupert Community Arts Council and Prince Rupert Community Band will be doing just that by hosting a concert and various other nature-related fun activities taking place on Kitson Island on July 2 and July 3.

This is a new concert idea for the community band, who will be playing nature-related music at the concert, which will be starting on Saturday, July 2 at noon on the island.

“[The music] has to do with nature, with pieces such as ‘Morning Fog’, with the music being sort of still, then a bit of fog horn where the fog lifts and you get a sense of sunshine coming in, then it comes back in again and lifts like typical fog happens out there,” explained the Director of the band, Peter Witherly, mentioning some

other titles, including “The Storm”, and “On the Beach”.

As well as the concert, there will be a number of outdoor activities such as picnics, campfires, nature hikes, as well as opportunities to paint and practice photography with guides.

Kitson Island is near the mouth of the Skeena River, about two miles southwest of Port Edward. The island is small, however it has sandy beaches, interesting plant life with a foreshore that includes rocky outcrops and extensive sand banks. Kitson Island is a wilderness

spot, with no fire pits, drinking water, shelter, toilets, docks, etc. so Witherly wants to remind people that they need to bring everything one needs themselves, including garbage bags so the park can be left in the condition it was before the event. Unfortunately, organizers do not have the means to provide a way of travel for the general public. There will be a boat traveling to and from each day, however space is limited.

“There is no guarantee that there will be a spot on the boat for everyone to get across. People

should try to arrange their own method of transportation over…We do not have the capacity to move the general public,” said Witherly, mentioning that the best way to get over to the island would be kayak rentals, or getting a spot on the large canoe that people will have an opportunity to paddle over on.

To rent kayaks contact Joe Paolinelli at 250-624-5246 or [email protected]. Anyone wishing to reserve a spot on the canoe can contact Peter at 250-624-8448 or [email protected].

Music and fun planned for Kitson Island Days this weekend

Although Canadian Multi-culturalism Day wasn’t officially until Monday, June 27, celebrations in Prince Rupert came early when on Sunday, June 26, the North Coast Immigrant and Multicultural Services Society hosted Diversity Day at the Rupert Square Mall to help raise awareness.

At Diversity Day, members of the community were encouraged to come down and listen to special guest speakers Saša Loggin from the Skeena Diversity Society, and Jane Dickson from the Affiliation of Multicultural Societies and Service Agencies of BC, who both traveled from Terrace to attend.

Loggin spoke about what the Skeena Diversity Society has been doing over the past few years including opening a downtown

office, painting a building with spray paint graffiti, hosting dinners and coffee gatherings and other various events that bring people with different backgrounds together.

“We are creating opportunities together for people who usually wouldn’t have them and breaking barriers,” explained Loggin.

Additionally, a number of representatives from different cultural groups and associations, such as AFFNO, Sons and Daughters of Norway, Indo-Canadian Association, Prince Rupert Chinese Association, and more spoke to people in attendance about what their groups do. A majority of the representatives made it known that they were excited about coming together and what that could mean for the community.

The North Coast Immigrant

and Multicultural Services Society is a non-profit organization that came together in October and are on a mission to partner with the community to celebrate the multicultural richness in the region and community as well as provide access to services for immigrants.

There previously was a similar multicultural group, however due to lack of support it did not survive.

Local Louisa Sanchez has been a major force behind both groups, and is happy to look forward to the organizations future.

“What we are looking forward to is to provide service and support to new Canadians that come to Prince Rupert,” said Sanchez.

“We are working towards full integration to the community and also to promote public awareness

and appreciation of the diversity we have in Prince Rupert.”

While the NDP announced

their first candidate for the next provincial election last week, North Coast MLA Gary Coons says his candidacy depends on

when Premier Christy Clark calls the next election.

Responding to an inquiry from the Prince Rupert Northern View

about his plans for the future, Coons said he would definitely seek the nomination again if an election is held this fall as many anticipate.

However, if the next election is held as scheduled in 2013, Coons said it “may be questionable” if he would seek re-election.

MLA says plans for re-election depend on election timing

They are the face of Prince Rupert to thousands of cruise ship passengers every year, and we at the Prince Rupert Northern View hope to tell the story of the volunteers of the Cruise Ship Ambassador program through a weekly feature.

And there is perhaps nobody better to start this series than Ethel Moorehouse, who has been a volunteer ambassador since the first day the program was rolled out. Moorehouse was born and raised in Prince Rupert and came back to the to town after retiring. For Ethel, telling people about the community she calls home is what brings her out every time a ship pulls up to Northland Terminal.

“I love Prince Rupert. God did a great job of creating it, the natural beauty of the town is amazing and I want to promote the community,” she said.

“Being an ambassador is really fun. You get to meet all kinds of people and I have even made friends through the

people I met who came off of the cruise ships”

And much like many in the community, Ethel has her own history to tell people when they walk by her near the current Homework location.

“I stand by what was formerly the Love Electric building and, since the Daily News closed down, it is one of the oldest operating businesses in town…My father went to work for Love Electric when he was 15 and stayed with the company right through to when he retired,” she explained.

“I have what I have today because of Love Electric.”

With the ambassador program moving out from under the Tourism Prince Rupert umbrella and into a volunteer-run group,

Moorehouse said she has no plans of stopping her volunteer work for the group.

“It is a few hours of fun and you will be happy you volunteered. It’s just a great opportunity to tell people about Prince Rupert,” she said.

“The cruise ships are important to have. They’re

good for the economy and great for meeting all kinds of people. They don’t consider Prince Rupert much on the map, but we can really tell them about the city.”

For more information on the ambassador program or to get involved, call Tourism Prince Rupert.

The Canadian FlagUpon confederation in 1867,

Canada’s national flag remained the Royal Union Flag, the Union Jack.

And although that was Canada’s official flag, Prime Minister John A. Macdonald took to flying the unique Canadian Red Ensign as a distinctive flag of Canada.

The Canadian Red Ensign was a red flag with the Union Jack in the top left hand corner and the Coat of Arms of the different provinces in the centre right portion of the flag. Although it had no official designation, it was commonly

used on Canadian vessels traveling the seas. It also flew over Parliament buildings until it was replaced by the Union Jack in 1904. On September 5, 1945, following World War II, the Governor General produced an Order in Council that permitted the flying of the flag over federal buildings in Canada and internationally.

In 1964 Prime Minister Lester B. Pearson wanted to make sure Canada had a new flag and presented his proposed flag to the House of Commons. The flag proved to be quite divisive amongst

different parties in the country and an all-party committee was formed to select Canada’s next flag. That October the committee came back with three designs to choose from: One with three red maple leaves with blue bars, one with a single red maple leaf on a white square with red bars and one with both the Union Jack and three fleurs-de-lis.

On October 29, 1964 the committee made the recommendation that the single maple leaf design be adopted. But division around the country and in the House of Commons

persisted and it wasn’t until 2:15 a.m. on December 15, 1964 that the House of Commons adopted the flag as it stands today by a vote of 163-78.

The design was said to be the idea of Dr. George Stanley, the Dean of Arts at the Royal Military College.

The Canadian National Anthem “O Canada” has long been the

anthem sung proudly by Canadians from coast to coast, but it wasn’t until 1980 that the song was

officially proclaimed Canada’s National Anthem.

That proclamation came over 100 years after it was first sung on June 24, 1880 at a banquet in the “Pavillon des Patineurs” in Quebec City.

There will be something new at this year’s Canada Day celebrations in Prince Rupert.

Three different Kingston-class naval ships will be docked at the Atlin Terminal down in Cow Bay

for public viewing and they will be hosting an open house at the Atlin Dock for the public from nine a.m. to five p.m. on July 1.

According to the Prince Rupert Special Events Society, those who come down to see the ships will be given onboard tours.

“They’ll show you all their

logistics equipment, surveillance equipment, what they do when they’re on their missions, their operations, their exercises, things like that,” says Joy Sundin from the Special Events Society.

The three ships that are coming are the HMCS Whitehorse, HMCS Nanaimo, and the HMCS Brandon.

The ships are commonly used costal surveillance and patrol, which involves things like search and rescue operations and support for law enforcement, resource protection and pollution control.

All of the ships have a crew of 37 sailors most of which are typically reservists with a small

number of regular force personnel.All three ships are also

equipped with “state-of-the-art” sonar equipment for surveying the bottom of the ocean. The equipment creates geo-coded sonar images of the sea floor, which can be used for the mapping of new sea routes, and also for detecting mines.

If British Columbians vote ‘NO‛ to going back to PST + GST in the referendum, the HST reduction to 10% will be the law. The province‛s offi cial notifi cation to the Government of Canada guarantees the drop in HST by way of a signed federal government order.

HST at 10% or GST + PST at 12%?


The federal NDP held their national party convention in Vancouver recently, where among other things they passed a resolution making an oil tanker ban off the North Coast one of the party’s policy goals.

It was passed with every one of the 1,500 party delegates voting in favour of it.

“The motions allows us to say that there are certain places on BC’s north coast that aren’t suitable for supertanker traffic because of the dangers. The resolution was heard by the entire convention and was passed unanimously,” said local MP Nathan Cullen.

Cullen and other MPs recently reintroduced a private member bill that would legislate a ban into effect on the North Coast. The bill will be selected at random to be voted on by the House of Commons, and would almost certainly be defeated unless the Conservative majority in Parliament change their position on a possible ban. Cullen says, that the motion more than anything else solidifies his party’s stance on the issue.

“What this does is that it confirms the work we’re doing in Parliament at the party level. It’s an endorsement from the members of the NDP that what we are doing is right. It enshrines it in NDP policy, it says that it’s not just for the moment, but is a long-term fight,”

said Cullen.Another fight Cullen is

involving himself with in Ottawa is the controversy over the Canadian exporting of asbestos, which while being illegal here is still used in developing countries. Canada recently joined with countries such as Vietnam, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan to block the addition of asbestos to a UN list of dangerous materials.

“I find it appalling that this government won’t allow it into the Parliament buildings and is spending millions to take it out of public buildings everywhere in Canada, but feels as though it’s okay for Indian workers and their families to be exposed to,” said Cullen.

Cullen says that he would like to see the Canadian workers who work for the asbestos industry transitioned into a different line of work with help from the Federal Government.

“We’re going to start meeting with people in those communities that would be affected...One thing we know is that this industry is dying, it’s either going to die a natural death or be forced out by legislation,” said Cullen.

Cullen also says that he is in favour of the NDP’s plan to try to force the abolishment of the Senate, rather than reform it into an elected body, which the

Conservatives want to do. The NDP are hoping to get the government to stop funding the Senate in order to “bleed it dry.”

“The Senate is an antiquated relic from the past, it serves no plausible function, costs a lot of money and, boy, these guys know how to take their entitlements home...Showing up for work for two days a week and getting $140,000 with no responsibilities. That seems like a cushy job if it’s yours for life just because you knew somebody,” said Cullen.

Tankers, asbestos and the Senate key focusses for MP

Province extends Aboriginal forest rightsBy Tom Fletcher

Black Press

The B.C. government is extending its interim forest and range agreements with aboriginal people to include a

new 25-year woodland licence for Crown forests.

Forests Minister Steve Thomson announced the new licence Tuesday, one of a series of initiatives to mark National Aboriginal Day. It will provide

exclusive rights to harvest Timber on designated Crown land, as well as rights to harvest, manage and charge fees for botanical forest products.

“This is something First Nations have been specifically

asking for,” Thomson said. “We’ve been working

closely with them to develop a licence that meets their specific needs and supports their participation in the forest sector.”

STARTING THIS SUMMER, BC HYDRO WILL BE UPGRADING HOMES AND BUSINESSES WITH NEW SMART METERS. MOVING TO A MORE EFFICIENT, MODERNIZED GRID WILL CREATE IMMEDIATE SAVINGS FOR OUR CUSTOMERS.YOU MAY BE WONDERING...What is a smart meter?

The smart metering program will modernize our electricity system by replacing old electro-mechanical meters with new digital meters. A smart meter is a a digital meter that records the amount of power you use. It helps improve the efficiency of the power grid, means less wasted electricity and gets BC ready for future power needs.

What are the benefits for me as a customer?

You will be able to see your power use in near real time and it will be faster and easier to open and close your account if you move.

What happens if the power goes out?

With smart meters in place, BC Hydro can pinpoint power outages and restore power faster.

How does it make my community safer?

The new meters reduce public and worker exposure to theft-related safety hazards, such as house fires, live wires and premature transformer failures.

How will my meter be read?

There will be remote, two way communication between your meter and BC Hydro. Smart meter signals are short, infrequent and will last less than one minute per day.

Is the signal safe?

The signals are low level frequency and exceed Health Canada safety standards.

Is my information secure?

Similar to online banking systems, the data from the meters is secure and your privacy is protected.

HAPPY CANADA DAY! - Friday July 1st- the Centre is open for Cards only at 12:30 p.m. There will be no lunch service. Have a wonderful long weekend everybody!

We are working towards getting a stair lift for the Seniors’ Centre. We have a beautiful basement

games area now, with new enhanced lighting making it very bright and the paint color adding to its appeal, but it involves a lot of stairs. We have a few members using the stairs on a weekly basis who would benefit from the addition of a stair lift and it might even attract more seniors to the downstairs games area. Will keep everyone posted.

Susan from the Acropolis Manor phoned about a “Weed Off” taking place outside the new residences. Unfortunately it was too late to get the announcement into this column, but they were looking for volunteers,

or a group of volunteers to come and help with the weeding. It is probably never too late to volunteer as a “gardener” up at the residences. For more info on this please call Susan at 624-2361.

We had a little party at our last Friday Bingo and we are sorry to say goodbye to some of our loyal bingo friends for the summer. But hopefully everyone will return when Bingo starts up again in Sept. We are still playing Bingo on Wednesdays over the summer, it is just Friday B that takes a break.

Have a good long weekend, Donna

Happy Birthday Sherry. We are remembering you on your birthday.

Sherry’s life was ended suddenly and tragically as a result of a car accident near Yale, BC on December 20, 2010 while en route to Prince Rupert to spend Christmas with her family. Sherry loved life, loved people and was always happy and upbeat. Sherry was a collector of friends. She always made time for her friends and, as a result, they all felt special. She was extremely thoughtful and kind to all. Above all else, she was a loving and utterly devoted mother. Her daughter Julie was the centre of her universe and we know Sherry continues her vigilant watch over Julie from heaven.

Sherry is deeply mourned by her family and sorely missed forever: daughter, Julie; parents, Edie & Lou Gaudette; brothers Rick (Nancy), Darryl (Heather); sisters Beverly (Flora), Lisa (Gordie); her dear sister-in-law Joy (Ken) and many nieces and nephews.

The 2011 Grad Parents Committee would like to thank the many parent volunteers and the following businesses for their generous support of the Prom held on June 4, 2011.

Please accept our apologies if we have left anyone out.The never-ending support of the Prince Rupert Businesses is phenomenal - we hope the graduates of

2011 expand their horizons but always remember the community that raised them.

NEW DOCTORS

The Large Clinic is pleased to announce that

Drs. John and Sunelle Fawell have joined the clinic and are

accepting new patients.250-624-9651


The Recreation Department from the City of Prince Rupert and the Prince Rupert Friendship House are calling out for mentors/volunteers to help support a pilot project’s success for youths this summer.

The pilot project will be for youths in the community looking for something to entertain themselves

on Friday evenings. Organizers are hoping to start the project on Friday, July 8 from 9:30 p.m. until 11:30 p.m. with weekly events running until the end of summer.

“It’s a pilot project for now. If we do get the interest we’re hoping to get, we

w i l l look at adding

others nights,” said Rudy Kelly from the Recreation Department, who says organizers hope the project will receiving helpful input from the youth in attendance.

“We want this to be driven by youth,” he explained, mentioning that various rooms in the Civic Centre will be opened with different

activities going on in each to

see what is popular amongst the group.

Additionally, organizers handed out surveys at the Friendship House; Youth Hub to seek advice from hub members.

For the pilot to be successful mentors/volunteers from the community are needed. People wishing to lend their time will have to have a criminal record check done beforehand. People with a variety of different interests are encouraged to spare some of their time.

“If someone’s thing is floor hockey, or basketball, or any sort of activity that they have a little bit of an interest in, or some coaching back round…They could be there to support the youth and be involved with them and teach them a few things,” commented Kelly.

Anyone who wants to help the youth project, and has some spare time and patience is encouraged to contact Rudy Kelly at 250 624 6707 or email him at [email protected].

◆ A CALL TO THE COMMUNITY

SPORTS from the North Coast

“They could be there to support the youth and be involved with them and teach them a few things...”

In the rough: Rampage golf series endsBy Moe Hays

The Northern View

When the final putt was holed on Sunday afternoon, the last of three Prince Rupert Golf Club Open tournaments, was over, and a month of competitive golf, came to a conclusion (see age 23 for results)

Also concluding this past week, was the very successful Prince Rupert Rampage Junior Golf series. The program had a total registration of sixty boys and girls, in two divisions. The young group was for participants ten years and under and the Senior Division, older golfers. The idea for the program came from Colt and

Brett Stava, who recruited volunteers from the popular hockey team.

The eight week program presented an opportunity for the youth to acquire some information on technique and etiquette involved in the game and to see that the golf course is a fun place to spend time.

In addition, parents and

grandparents who attended, would see the Golf Course as a fun and safe place for the youth.

We will conduct our regular Summer Series of Golf Clinics on Tuesday mornings, beginning on July 12th. This will be a drop in program available to Boys and Girls with no age restrictions.

This weekend racing reverts back to where racing began in B.C.’s Pacific Northwest, with “The Dave Saunders Memorial Hill Climb”.

This race is the third reincarnation of the “Kitimat Hill Climb”. The first race was a single lane, quarter mile race up Haisla hill in Kitimat in the late 70’s.

Ed Trudeau from Kitimat with his “Wild Canadian” Hemi Cuda made some breathtaking runs and Prince Rupert’s Hans Andreeson’s “Rupert Elephant”, set the track record of 12.00 seconds.

All of the cars raced up a highway hill, situated in a residential area.

It was scenic view, watching a free race on grass that was shaped like green bleachers sloping down to the track.

The “Kitimat Hill Climb” faced a big problem then that it still faces ......... Speed. Or rather the higher speed put on by the faster cars.

The cars of the time were getting faster and faster. Cars like Andreeson’s fire breathing Hemi Pinto put the speeds up over a 100 miles per hour, much too fast to go around the bend at the top of the hill on slicks.

The second version of the “Hill Climb”, in the late 80s, was a 1/8 mile run.

Cars came from Prince George to Prince Rupert to compete. A second race was put on to run against the four fastest entries for the “King Of the Hill”.

Again speeds the fast cars ran were getting too high again. The last 1/8 mile version of the “Kitimat Hill Climb” was run in 2000.

This third version is dedicated to local Kitimat racing pioneer Dave Saunders.

The “Dave Saunders Memorial Hill Climb” brings racers back to Kitimat to run one of the favourite races.

The speeds are still a looming problem so the race is run at 400 feet. This is over half the 1/8 mile race. But the request was brought up by the faster cars.

Race organizers remind us that “Dave” Saunders said that the hill was “Only good for

400 feet”.The race is still a great fun run

and also a great race to watch. You don’t get a view of the cars running at any track like you will see at this race.

See you on the hill Saturday, July 2. Time Trials begin at 10 a.m. and eliminations get underway at one p.m.

The ever popular Kitimat Show & Shine will be held Saturday July

1 in the Tamitik Arena. These are all great reasons to visit kitimat this weekend.
