Teachers and district begin negotiationsBy Shaun Thomas

The Northern View

While the BC Teacher’s Federation and the BC Public School Employers’ Association collective bargaining on March 1, the board of the Prince Rupert School District held their own meeting with the Prince Rupert and District Teacher’s Union to get the ball rolling on local negotiations.

The groups met last Monday for what board chair Lynn Hauptman said was to determine protocol and a meeting schedule.

“We look forward to a constructive round of bargaining, focused on those matters which are designated in the provincial collective agreement as local matters,” said Hauptman, with most items falling outside

of salary, benefits, hours and paid leave being considered local issues.

“We will also watch, with interest, how bargaining progresses at the Provincial bargaining table for the provincial matters.”

For the teachers, one of the key local issues is the number of grievances being filed and the PRDTU says that teachers and the school board are facing significant challenges dealing with their local collective agreement. Over 100 grievances were filed in the past two years and the teachers believe the school district should be investing dollars in classrooms, not on contractual disputes.

“The escalating costs of unresolved grievances need to be addressed locally.” Said Joanna Larson, President of the Prince Rupert District Teachers’ Union. “We

need to improve our working relationship, and address those issues that are creating the current culture of resentment and mistrust between teachers and the school district. Local bargaining will be the key to overcoming these obstacles,” said PRDTU president Joanna Larson.

The two groups will meet again on March 17, but a statement from the BCTF on this round of collective bargaining indicates there is a lot of ground to be covered.

“Teacher salaries in BC continue to lag further behind most other provinces...We are currently $11,311 behind our colleagues in Calgary and $11,580 behind teachers in Edmonton. In addition teachers in elementary schools in Toronto get 220 (increasing to 240 in 2012) minutes of prep time per week.”

Regional District to run deficit in 2011 under new budget By Alan S. HaleThe Northern View

The Skeena - Queen Charlotte Regional District (SQCRD) released the first draft of its new 2011 budget last week and the district is projecting a deficit of $63,795.

Regional District taxes for Prince Rupert residents are going to be reduced, but the same cannot be said for all those in other communities within the SQCRD.

The deficit will ultimately have to be added to the district’s remaining debt of $186,038. However, if the five-year plan is followed the debt could be reduced to a mere $11,000 by 2015.

In Prince Rupert, all property tax rates

– everything from residential to industrial – are going to be reduced by 4.4 per cent. This will save a homeowner in the city $1.49 for every $100,000 their home is worth. Port Edward residents will also see a tax reduction on their homes and businesses of 5.7 per cent. Other communities inside the SQCRD will see theirs rise, like in Masset where taxes are going up 8.7 per cent.

While none of the numbers were final by the time this story went to press, the first draft projects an increase in both revenues and spending from 2010. The regional district is planning to take in $5.7-million in 2011, almost a million more than the year before.

The budget of almost every SQCRD

program is being increased, some considerably, others only a little.

Despite all this extra spending, the district is still spending half-a-million dollars less than it did last year. This is because the district closed a landfill in 2010 and is now saving about $700,000.

Funding for the Prince Rupert recycling centre has been a hot topic at the monthly meetings of district board. Local recycling activist, Jean Martin, has been pushing the issue after the centre had to cut its operating ours on Saturdays in order to save money. Martin’s relentless efforts have targeted Prince Rupert’s mayor, Jack Mussallem, despite the fact that the hour change was a decision made by the entire

board. This year, the recycling program’s budget was increased to $555,456, an increase of about 10 per cent.

The North Pacific Cannery, which just received a federal grant of a quarter-million dollars, will also be getting small increase in funds from the regional district. The cannery will be given 84,000 for 2011, which is an increase of about five per cent.

The Prince Rupert Regional Archives are getting a 5.4 per cent increase to $68,004.

All these numbers are from the first draft of the budget and could change before the final vote on the budget is held on March 18.

Cullen speaks on Watson Island Aboriginal title disputeBy Shaun Thomas

The Northern View

While Lax Kw’alaams seeks standing in a court case involving Kitkatla and the City of Prince Rupert, a case which now sees the two First Nations groups disputing who has Aboriginal title over Watson Island, Skeena – Bulkley Valley MP Nathan Cullen says it is disputes like this that need to be solved sooner than later.

“If I was given a magic wand to help the

economy, rights and title would be the first thing I’d address. This holds up projects from the east to the west in the Skeena – Bulkley Valley riding,” he said during a

March 3 media call. “I believe that if we answered this

question, not just in Prince Rupert but elsewhere, investment would take off because it would provide certainty and investors need certainty before moving forward with their plans.”

According to Cullen, the issue of Aboriginal rights and title and which group holds it over which areas is something that people in Ottawa are very aware of.

“I think the eventual resolution will be for the Federal Government to put their hand on the table as well. I’ve spoken to Minister of State [for Transport] Rob Merrifield because there has been some interest from parties who have a stake in port development on getting a resolution table together to get the land question sorted out so they can proceed with some investments,” he said, noting that he has also been talking to people in the region about the situation as well.

“I’ve been in contact with the groups trying to get the parties to talk. There has been some progress with Lax Kw’alaams and Metlakatla, but Kitkatla seems to be a bit on the outside during these talks.”

Up to 10,000 able to participate in virtual town hall tonightBy Shaun Thomas

The Northern View

Skeena – Bulkley Valley MP Nathan Cullen will be hosting a virtual town hall with residents from across the riding next week, with thousands of people from across the northwest expected to be part of a teleconference with the MP.

The call will take place next Wednesday at seven p.m., and Cullen says as many as 10,000 people will be able to be on the line at the same time.

“It is a new technology we were able to get from the Obama campaign that allows us to contact folks and hold this type of meeting…Never before have this many people from around the region been able to connect on one call,” he said during a March 3 media call.

“It should be an interesting activity in democracy.”

People around the riding can expect an automated call from the MP in the coming days inviting them to participate in the town hall forum, with further instructions and details to follow. The call itself will include a deputy speaker of the House of Commons serving as a moderator

◆ TELECONFERENCE WITH MP

Coast Guard asks City for letter of supportBy Monica Lamb-Yorski

The Northern View

Prince Rupert’s Canadian Coast Guard Auxiliary Unit 64 has raised a little over half the funds needed for a new rescue boat and is hoping some corporate sponsors well help out with the rest.

This week members of the auxiliary, also known as Prince Rupert Marine Rescue Society, asked City Council for a letter of support to aid with fundraising efforts.

“We’ve raised $262,200 as of today with generous support from local businesses and gaming. We need another $240,000 for the vessel and we’re hoping for a big corporate sponsor to step forward,” said Deputy Unit Leader Mike Graham, explaining a letter from council will be used to leverage funds.

Currently the auxiliary uses the Rainbow Responder, but the 21-year- old vessel no longer meets Canadian rescue standards.

Unit Leader Marko Kessler described the boat as obsolete. It has a very small cabin, standing room only and no heat.

“At this point we have no capability of carrying a stretcher. Half of it has to be outside the cabin,” he said.

The new vessel – which has already had its hull

and superstructure completed – will not only meet standards, but will have room for passengers and stretchers. A sister vessel launched in Nanaimo last week has capacity for 12 people and three stretchers on aboard.

And, said Kessler, the boat can also right itself.“If it ever happens that the vessel flips over, it

will flip back up without any assistance of airbags or anything like that, but by its own buoyancy. It has been specifically designed for the north coast.”

A marine engineer, hired by the auxiliary, looked at Coast Guard boats in service with the US, England and Australia to determine what would be the best design to tackle 10 metre seas and hurricane force winds.

“After much negotiation we decided to go with jets instead of propellers and the hull has been reinforced so debris such as logs is no longer an issue. The life expectancy is 30 to 40 years, but with minimum refit it can go for at least fifty years,” Kessler said.

In 2010, the group spent over 1100 hours at sea plus various hours in simulator training and Coast Guard Auxiliary training missions.

The rescue and recovery hours expended by the group in 2010 alone were valued at approximately $1.3 million.

“We also have quite significant community involvement. If you ever take a look at any activities on the water like Winterfest and Seafest, the Polar Bear Swim or Dragon Boat Races, you’ll always see our little boat puttering around,” Kessler said.

Councillor Nelson Kinney asked how the auxiliary will fund the maintenance of the new vessel once it’s built and was told through Direct Access to Gaming Grants and money the auxiliary receives from the Coast Guard Auxiliary office in Victoria when it goes out.

“Our vision is to respond to Prince Rupert’s growing demand for marine emergency resources and as you can imagine there are a lot of incidents around here, especially in the summer time with tourists and visiting guests,” Kessler told council.

City council to find new use for abandoned propertyBy Monica Lamb-Yorski

The Northern View

The City of Prince Rupert is hoping to unlock some mysteries around one of its properties near Cow Bay.

Occupied most recently by Northern Industrial Sales, the site at 225/227 First Avenue East, consists .26 acres of land and has been owned by the City for several years. It’s in a prime location near the City’s waterfront and in full view of the pedestrian route for cruise ship passengers.

Earlier last week, City Council passed a resolution for the City’s engineering department to pursue grant funding for a site investigation through the Federation of Canadian

Municipalities program for brownfield site studies.

Brownfields are defined as abandoned, vacant, derelict or underutilized commercial or industrial properties where past actions have resulted in actual or perceived contamination and where there is an active potential for redevelopment.

More and more brownfield sites are being identified each year as cities look at revitalizing and B.C.’s Ministry of Environment estimates there are between 4,000 and 6,000 brownfield sites in the province.

A grant of $25,000 from FCM would cover half the cost of an investigation and enable the City to better understand if and what

are the issues with site and what costs might be involved with remediation.

In a report to council, the e n g i n e e r i n g d e p a r t m e n t stated Leveleton E n g i n e e r i n g C o n s u l t a n t s conducted a stage one investigation

on the site in April 2010 and determined the site was developed prior to 1920. Some of the past uses of the site included blacksmithing, welding and building construction.

There’s an above ground storage tank, approximately 1,000 US gallons in capacity, and associated reservoir with a pump,

located in the basement of the building. It’s constructed of steel and could have possibly been used for storage of heating fuel in the past.

“The storage tank is the big issue with the site and there could possibly be some leaking, but we don’t know that yet, so with the stage two

inves t iga t ion there will be some drilling and site a s s e s s m e n t to see if there

is anything in the ground,” engineering coordinator Richard Pucci told The Prince Rupert Northern View.

Investigation of the site will require drilling five boreholes for soil condition evaluation and four boreholes for groundwater monitoring wells.

Hopefully the tank is robust and fine and the drilling reveals that there’s absolutely nothing wrong with the site and the City can move forward, Pucci said.

It may be some way from being launched, but mayor Joanne Monaghan is excited by a proposed ferry service that would take in Kitimat, Bella Bella, Bella Coola, Hartley Bay and Klemtu.

She is chairing a task force that is pushing the concept.

First up is trying to find the money to pay for a feasibility study, but Monaghan is confident it will be come.

She said the Northern Development Initiative Trust, who will be handling the study, had already said it would cover part of the cost and the task force was chasing down a couple of other grants.

Monaghan noted the Haisla of Kitamaat Village did a feasibility study in 2008 on a similar idea, albeit on a smaller scale than

this concept, and had been kind enough to provide the task force with a copy.

Monaghan said the benefits from such a service would flow both ways.

From Kitimat’s perspective, the ferry would allow people from those coastal communities to come here and utilize the medical services at Kitimat General such as ultrasound and other tests, services that Kitimat could lose without more people using them.

In that regard, she had been in “productive talks” with Northern Health Authority administrator Johnathan Cooper.

Having lived in Klemtu for two summers and Bella Bella for one, she said the “big bugbear” was if you wanted

to go anywhere, you had to go to Prince Rupert.

And with this service Kitimat would only be six hours away. As far as the coastal communities were concerned, she saw an opportunity to help cultural tourism there flourish.

“We have so much in cultural activity to

give to the rest of the world,” Monaghan added.

Turning to the Kitimat terminus, she said the task force was looking at the Eurocan dock. Noting a new ramp had been put in there just before the announced closure of the pulp and paper mill, she added, “It would be really good for roll-on, roll-off.”

Hundreds are registered for conference next month

By Alan S. haleThe Northern View

200 delegates have signed up for the 2011 National Aboriginal Business Opportunities Conference, which is taking place in Prince Rupert on April 12.

The delegates are from a variety of First Nations and private businesses from all over the province, and the organizers say they’re expecting more potential delegates than the conference will have room for.

The Metlakatla and Lax Kw’alaams First Nations are the official hosts of the conference, which will consist of the three days of workshops, dinners and speeches with the goal of fostering partnerships between First Nations and private enterprise.

According to the organizers most of the First Nations from northwest B.C. have a delegate, such as the Haisla and Kitsumkalum. There are also delegates from

large corporations coming to the conference as well, including Syntaris Energy, which focuses on clean energy initiatives and has a purchasing agreement with B.C. Hydro;

Another outside company coming to the conference is Black Diamond Group, a business that makes and runs modular housing units for workers operating in remote locations. The B.C. Mining Association will be present as well as representatives from most of the major banks.

There are also delegates from companies who already operate inside of the city, such as Island Tug and Barge Ltd.

The organizers are also planning a charity golf tournament for April 14, the day the co0nference will end. Participation in the tournament is open to local golfers and business.

All the proceeds will be going to the Metlakatla and Lax Kw’alaams youth centre.

Notice of Public Hearing

First of all, hats off the to volunteers of the Prince Rupert Special Events Society and those in the community who helped contribute to another successful Children’s Festival.

The smile on the faces of the kids as they tried out the different activities is a sure sign of success, and the fact that this festival marked its 20th year is a testament to the community spirit of people in Prince Rupert - particularly when you consider this is just one of numerous festivals that takes place here throughout the year.

But there was something else I noticed at the event that was a bit of a downer amongst all of the joy and happiness being experienced - and that was the fact that a lot of the volunteers were very familiar faces and people who have been volunteering and organizing events in the communities for years on end.

While it’s great to see that level of commitment to the community and to making the quality of life in Prince Rupert the best it can be, what’s concerning is the lack of new faces. It’s the same thing at a lot of community events hosted by volunteer groups.

The problem becomes, quite bluntly, volunteer burnout - the same people can’t sustain that level of volunteerism year in and year out without wanting to take a step back and move more into the background if possible.

If there is nobody to step up and fill in for those people who need a rest, the rest becomes a hiatus and if that happens too often you no longer have the volunteer resources needed

to carry on the events that we all know and love in Prince Rupert.

Volunteering, while often a thankless job, is a great experience and a great way to give back to the community that we all call home. Whether Special Events, Rotary, the Elks, the Lions, Civic Pride or any other number of groups, the uniting factor is people who care about the community

giving of their time to the benefit of others. As someone who has been in Rotary for the past four and a half years and who will be club president next year, I can tell you it is a very rewarding experience.

So I encourage you to find something you love and find a way to get involved and lend your time and talents.

OPINIONNorth CoastMY VIEW…

Volunteerism truly a rewarding experience

We’re counting down to the official first day of spring. As welcome a thought as that is, it’s also alarming for those of us in the tourism industry. The season is almost upon us.

The winter has been busier than usual. We’ve been immersed in online marketing, rebuilding the Tourism Prince Rupert website from scratch and strategically expanding our efforts in social media. It’s time-consuming but vital work. At the same time we’ve struggled to understand issues facing our tourism industry this year. Proposed fare increases on BC Ferries, issues around halibut allocation, and development of our potential for hosting cruise ship calls have all added to an unusually-hectic winter season.

It seems as if 2011 will signal the beginning of a slow recovery for our tourism industry. The 13% drop in room revenues in 2009 was devastating – though certainly not as dramatic a drop as was seen in much of the rest of the province. To put this into a provincial prospective, 2009 saw the sharpest

single-year drop in tourism since comprehensive statistics began to be collected in 1997. It was a provincial blow, with 129,000 people, about one of every fourteen workers in B.C., employed in tourism and contributing over $6.3 billion to the provincial economy. The global recession struck the tourism industry in every corner of the province.

We haven’t seen the final official totals from the Ministry of Finance yet, but 2010 came in essentially flat. That’s good news only in the sense that it signaled an end to the spiraling losses. At Tourism Prince Rupert, where most of our marketing revenues are derived from hotel revenues, the downturn weakened our ability to help the local industry rebuild. Our marketing resources are directly linked to the real performance of the local industry – and, like the industry itself, we are vulnerable

to all sorts of external threats including the broad performance of the global economy.

The good news is that we finally seem to be recovering from the effects of 2009. Advance bookings at local accommodation providers are strong, and our operators are cautiously optimistic that we will begin to see the recovery begin in 2011.

Of course there are many opportunities and challenges that may impact us moving forward. On one hand BC Ferries has begun to aggressively sell northern tours and tourism product; TPR provided sales staff training at the end of last month in order to strengthen that sales potential. On the other hand, the spectre of fare increases on BC Ferries, over a hundred per cent over the next four years, when the service is already perceived as prohibitively expensive, could provide a real blow.

Likewise even the perception that the sport halibut allocation might not be sufficient to carry the industry through the season could impact our recovery in 2011. Our marketing efforts must be directed as much as possible toward mitigating these threats.

Another challenge facing the tourism industry this year is naturally the announcement that Norwegian Cruise Lines will not be sending a weekly ship into Prince Rupert in 2012. That means that the community’s performance this summer will have a real impact on the Port’s ability to lure regular ships back in 2013. From TPR’s perspective, that means our work in communicating Prince Rupert’s story in the U.S. market thus becomes even more critical than ever.

Still, we’re cautiously optimistic. The effects of the recession are abating, and people are again beginning to travel. If we can work toward modest gains in 2011, we can realistically hope for recovery to pre-2009 levels in 2012.

Cautiously optimistic for the upcoming 2011 tourist season

Numbers show traffic at Fairview is in decline since peaking last July

By Alan S. HaleThe Northern View

The amount of containers going through the Prince Rupert port is continuing to decline into 2011.

According to the monthly traffic summaries from the Prince Rupert Port Authority, the amount of TEUs (Twenty-foot equivalent unit, or one average sized cargo container) going through the port has been in steady decline since peaking last July at 38,598 TEUs.

Now the numbers for February are out, and it appears the downward trend may be continuing in 2011.

The new numbers show that the decline now means that the amount of containers is down significantly from where it was a year before - falling 33.1 per cent from 27,681.3 to 18,506.3. In February, the port imported 10,557.5 TEUs, a 32.1 per cent decrease from February 2010. The port exported 7,948.8 TEUs, which is a decrease of 34.5 per cent from last year.

The Prince Rupert Grain terminal moved 236,512 tonnes of wheat last month, which was 41.8 per cent less than the amount that was shipped last year. Canola however saw a 3.3 per cent increase to 64,455 tonnes in February. It did however ship 52,100.1 tones of canola meal when it had shipped none in February 2010.

Ridley Terminal saw its shipments of M. Coal go up 75.8 per cent to 503,586 tonnes, while shipments of T. Coal fell 64.5 per cent. Ridley’s shipments of wood pellets decreased 67.8 per cent, and the terminal didn’t ship any petroleum coke at all, although it shipped

nearly 50,000 of it a year before.

The amount of timber coming out Prince Rupert took a massive jump from last year with 54,614 logs being exported from the City; an increase of 621.8 per cent.

◆ DOWN 33.1 PER CENT YEAR TO YEAR

◆ DEALS FOR EXPANSION

Regional home sales forecast to growBy Rod Link

Black Press

Home sales in northwestern BC should begin to bounce back this year and increase next year thanks to an improved regional economy, forecasts an economist with Central 1 Credit Union, a financial clearing house and trade association for BC and Ontario credit unions.

Speaking last week, Bryan Yu says an improved forest industry, demands for minerals and the equipment needed to transport resources to markets will benefit the housing market.

“Next year you will see the results of the strengthening economy and more so in 2013,” he said.

Regional home sales should increase to 625 this year from 541 in 2010 and 553 in 2009.

That’s a 16 per cent hike forecast for this year with a further 16 per cent forecast for 2012, which would push sales up to 725

units.And Yu’s predicting another 16 per cent jump in

2013, which would bring sales up to 840 units.Median annual prices, however, are expected to

be more moderate with increases of one per cent for 2011, two per cent for 2012 and three per cent for 2013, translating into prices of $147,000, $150,000 and $155,250 respectively.

Yu said he based his prediction of a very moderate price increase in this area this year on new mortgage regulations coming into effect this spring.

The primary regulation drops the amortization period from 35 years to 30 years.

“I don’t think it will have much of an impact outside of the metro [Vancouver] area,” said Yu.

Yu’s forecast for total housing starts estimates 45 homes will be built in the area this year, up from 27 in 2010.

That’s to be followed by a jump to 65 homes in 2012 before dipping slightly to 60 homes in 2013.

Two Terrace Tsimshian First Nations are to receive payments tied to the planned expansion of the Prince Rupert Port Authority’s container port.

The payments to Kitselas and Kitsumkalum recognize their common property interests within the Tsimshian First Nations.

Kitselas Chief Councillor Glenn Bennett said the port expansion deal is worth $1.9 million to the Kitselas and was negotiated with the port corporation and with the federal government.

“The port of Prince Rupert is undergoing an expansion .... and they have to consult and accommodate all the First Nations that are going to be impacted by this project,” said Bennett.

Negotiations are ongoing with Lax Kw’alaams, Metlakatla

and Kitkatla, all of whom are First Nations located on the north coast.

The amount of the Kitsumkalum deal isn’t yet known.The Kitselas and Kitsumkalum deals are awaiting final sign off

from federal officials.These negotiations have been going on for several years and

follow similar ones which took place leading up to the $170 million first phase of the container port opening in 2007. Talks have centered around employment and business opportunities, environmental protection and archaeological protection.

Coastal Tsimshian First Nations went so far as to file lawsuits, saying the federal government failed to consult with them during that time period.

The Prince Rupert Port Authority declined to comment on the deals or negotiations.

“Next year you will see the results of the strengthening economy and more so in 2013.”

Rupertites brainstorm policy ideas for economic growthBy Alan S. HaleThe Northern View

The MLA’s for the North Coast, Skeena and Stikine ridings held a public meeting in Prince Rupert last Wednesday to brainstorm new policy ideas for the provincial government.

The meeting was called non-partisan, although all three MLA’s, Gary Coons, Robin Austin and Doug Donaldson, are all NDP members.

“I see it as two-pronged. This was non-partisan; this was about bringing people together. We’re looking at the issues, concerns and ideas that we need to push forward with the current government and with the future government, whoever that may be,” said MLA Gary Coons.

Prince Rupert was one of a few meetings held in communities across Northern B.C. It was also one of the most attended, attracting a crowd of over 30 people compared to the four people that attended in Terrace.

Participants were split into small groups to come up with policy ideas that would address three different goals: encouraging investment in local economies, supporting community-based enterprises, and creating economic activity that will improve quality of life and ecological conditions.

All the ideas had to be more than just abstract goals; they had to be executable policy ideas that fell into the jurisdiction of the Provincial Government. Which basically meant that ideas could not involve the oceans.

After each group came with ideas for each of the categories, new groups were formed to pick out the best ones in each. After two

hours of discussions, Prince Rupert residents came up with several policy ideas to help improve the city.

To encourage investment in local economies, residents suggested that the provincial government give out grants to start-up businesses and tax incentives to companies and organizations that helped start-up get off the ground. Another suggestion was that the government should have a list of places suitable for new value-added manufacturing projects as this would help broaden the horizons of corporations beyond the Lower Mainland. The last suggestion was that northern residents and businesses should get an allowance for ferry travel.

To help support community based enterprises, it was suggested that there should be

tax incentives or a subsidy for people who pay to have their recycling picked up. It was also suggested that B.C. Hydro should encourage and buy electricity from small community-run green energy projects.

To improve quality of life in the city, residents said the province should build a local rehab centre with services going beyond drug and alcohol addiction; this would make such services more accessible to those who need them. Residents also said that the local recycling program

should be expanded to include the recycling of building materials from torn down buildings instead of simply trucking that off to the dump. The last suggestion was to create more youth

counseling programs to help local young people deal with the many problems that can be found in the community.

NDP leadership contender meets with Rupert residentsBy Alan S. HaleThe Northern View

Provincial NDP leadership candidate John Horgan stopped in Prince Rupert last week to have lunch with local party members at the Ocean View restaurant.

Horgan is a self-described moderate, which he believes will be an asset for the party if he is the one to face Liberal Party leader Christy Clark in the next election.

“I believe that I am a balanced politician that comes from the middle, more or less. I believe that I am an effective communicator and can spread our message of hope and social democracy to that four or five per cent of the population we need to form a majority government,” said Horgan.

Part of Horgan’s plan to improve the economies of northern communities is for the provincial government to get resource companies to do value-added manufacturing inside the area where they harvest the raw materials instead of shipping it somewhere else.

“Investment has to understand - forest companies in particular - that they have tenure rights to the land. In the past those rights meant that they had to add value to that product here, but they no longer have to do that under the Liberals. I would take steps to change that,” say Horgan.

But Prince Rupert’s primary industry is importing and exporting through its port, not forestry or mining. Horgan says he does believe that Prince Rupert’s economic future is through Asia-Pacific Gateway, but gave no specifics on how he would help develop new foreign markets for the port other than promising to continue the work already being done by the Liberals and “being aggressive” when it came to markets in China, India and Korea.

Horgan says he is steadfastly opposed to the Enbridge oil pipeline would require oil tankers to travel the waters along the north coast. The project’s potential economic benefit, he says, is not worth the risk the tanker traffic poses to the environment.

“The risks of marine disaster are too great to move a product that is not created here to port. This is not an Alberta issue, this is a national issue and British Columbia, in my opinion, should not be facilitating this.”

Horgan says he supports a “fair tax” system for both income and corporate taxes. He says that Liberal’s attempt to create jobs by lowing taxes on corporations has failed. He says that properly funded social programs can attract new companies and jobs.

“The lowest tax jurisdiction in North America is not something we should strive for. Why wouldn’t we strive to be the middle tax jurisdiction in North America? That way companies will have a chance to get a return on their investment and attract skilled workers based on the quality of life we provide. Those are the success stories we want to see, not ‘hey look at me, I’m not paying any taxes’,” he said.

CHAIR YOGA FOR SENIORS with Instructor Morgan Sundin -Next set March 28-June 13, Mondays 3:15-4:15pm. Includes 10 sessions for $30. Drop-in $5. Registration

starts Monday March 14 - please see Donna.We had our blizzard of the century

last week and many of us had our work cut out for us shoveling sidewalks, stairs and parking stalls. Thank you to the nice people out there who shovel for their elderly neighbours.

Shannon has been decorating the Centre and we look very festive . We aren’t yet celebrating Spring but she’s got us all ready for St. Patrick’s Day. Don’t think I’ll be

making green soup on March 17th but will think about a green tinged dessert perhaps! Come for lunch and help us celebrate the Irish!

Our Spring Tea is only five and a half weeks away! Saturday April 16 Ticket sales are going fairly slow so if you could help us sell a book or two it would be appreciated.

Also, we are accepting items for our towel and grocery hampers.

CANADA’S BEST SELLING COMPACT SUV#

By Adam Griffi th-Zahner The Northern View

Throughout the week the Rupert Rampage will be battling it out on the ice in an attempt to keep the Coy Cup in Prince Rupert.

The Coy Cup is an annual provincial championship tournament that Prince Rupert has the honour of hosting.

Colt Stava, the captain of the Rampage team, says that he’s “looking for Rupert to come out and

support us, and hoping to have big crowds for every game”.

“We’re going to play our butts off and hopefully put on a good performance for Rupert faithful. That’s a huge part of why we play,” he said.

Stava is unsure about the status of assistant captain Rob Miller, and whether or not he will be participating in the Coy Cup. Earlier in the season, Miller suffered from a concussion that he is still recovering from. “He has good days and bad days” says Stava.

Rupert Rampage has however recruited Robin Gomez, a Prince Rupert native to play with the team. Gomez has NHL experience, having played several games with the Washington Capitals. With the addition of Gomez, Stava describes Rupert Rampage as a “pretty solid line-up”.

The tournament takes place from March 8-12. From Tuesday to Thursday, there will be two games played per night. Friday is the night of the semi-final and the final is Saturday.

Over the weekend the Prince Rupert Curling Club hosted the 60th annual Marine Bonspiel that included men’s teams from all around the region playing games against each other, and enjoyed the renowned customary seafood banquet.

Each participating team started out playing in the “A” event. Teams who did not win their first game were knocked into the “B” event to compete against other teams who weren’t successful in the “A” event, with this method continuing up to the “D” event.

In the “A” event, a Terrace team led by skip Copeland finished first, earning themselves the first place plaques sponsored by Manson’s Jewelers. The silver spot in the “A” event was earned by Evans rink.

The Kraft rink from Smithers were the “B” event winners, earning themselves plaques donated by La Gondola.

In the “C” event another Terrace team earned themselves the top spot and plaques donated by the Prince Rupert Coast Hotel. The “C” event winners were led by skip Kennedy.

The only Prince Rupert team to come out first in an event was led by skip Green, winning the “D” event. Each member received a plaque donated by Gateway Glass.

Winning teams also had their pick of an arrangement of prizes including a fridge full of beer, gift certificates, and money.

On top of the many games that took place, the annual seafood banquet was held on Saturday evening.

The Marine Bonspiel is known for the delicious seafood banquet that consists of every kind of seafood imaginable. The club started this tradition back in 1957, six years after the first bonspiel ever held, and has continued on with it due to it’s popularity. Number One Fast Food catered the banquet this year.

The Prince Rupert Curling Rink will see a lot more action next week when the Prince Rupert Curling Club will be hosting

the BC Mixed Provincial Championships starting March 14 and running until the 20. People are encouraged to visit the rink and watch the best mixed teams from around the Province compete for the top spot.

Sea Wolves not moving on to ProvincialsBy Martina Perry

The Northern View

Over the weekend the Jim Ciccone Civic Centre was packed full of young hockey players from the Skeena Valley League. Midget Rep teams from Prince Rupert, Terrace, Kitimat and Smithers all had hopes of winning zones and gaining entry to Provincials to play the best in British Columbia.

But in the end the Sea Wolves, who going in were the league champions, were fell short of the zones title.

The Sea Wolves first game was on Friday against Terrace and it was obvious how much both teams wanted to win. The Terrace boys were giving it their all, and by the beginning of the third period they had gotten themselves a two goal lead. But in the third period the Sea Wolves’ Josh Kierce scored two goals, bringing the two teams to a 4-4 tie.

The Sea Wolves came out strong on Saturday morning, beating Kitimat eight to one. Prince Rupert showed great cooperation with one another in this game, and had their fans screaming with

excitement as they added to their lead. However, the boys seemed to

lose momentum later in the day when they played Smithers. For a majority of the game the score was close, but in the last period Smithers secured themselves a hefty lead and moved them into the final game.

Overall Kitimat came out on top, with Smithers following. Prince Rupert took the bronze, with Terrace coming in forth. Kitimat will now move on to

Provincials.
