First Nations Chiefs, Hereditary Chiefs, community leaders, residents and environmental activists banded together on Thursday evening to protest Enbridge’s Northern Gateway Pipeline project at the same time a North Central Local Government Association function sponsored by the company was taking place.
By Monica Lamb-Yorski The Northern View
Amidst the laughter, unity, and spirit of a rally against the Enbridge Northern Gateway Pipeline Project, held in Prince Rupert Thursday evening, there was one word that reverberated again and again from participants. That word was no.
Organizer of the rally Jenn Rice said governments may come and go, but people on the North Coast are here to stay.
“Tonight let’s just walk. We say ‘no’ to Enbridge oil,” she said.
Hereditary Chief Clarence Nelson of Metlakatla thanked everyone for attending and showing a spirit of unity.
“We can’t fight what nature throws at us in natural disasters, we can’t fight that, but what this corporation is trying to give us, to
develop the oil lines and tankers that will ply this coast, we can fight that and we must. Our tradition is our water and our land and all the beautiful resources we harvest from both,” Nelson said.
Upwards of 400 people of all ages, walks of life, and ethnicity congregated at Mariner’s Park, many holding signs to protest the proposed pipeline from Alberta to the B.C. coast and its subsequent oil tanker traffic. People had travelled from all over the region to attend.
The timing of the rally was not unintentional. Representatives from Enbridge were in town for the annual North Central Local Government Association conference this week and the company is one of the conference’s platinum sponsors.
Rice picked Thursday for the peaceful
protest because the conference dinner and dance was being held nearby at the North Coast Convention Centre in Chances.
A teenaged boy from Kitkatla was one of several youth who took a turn at the microphone. Standing confidently he looked out into the crowd.
“The youth of all the nations around us have to stand together with our elders and chiefs and say no to Enbridge. If we don’t, we’re going to have nothing and there will be nothing in the future for us. I ask all of you that we march as one, that we put aside our differences. We can’t let Enbridge come into our territories and destroy what we’ve got. They’ll try and give us money, but money can’t buy what we’ve got. We are richer than them with what we have in the ocean,” he said.

His youthful energy was echoed by three youth from Bella Bella who read declarations they had shared with Enbridge when representatives visited their community recently.
They spoke of protecting animals, culture and a way of life.
“We will not risk our culture and our resources and our children’s future. We cannot eat oil or money, we are not for sale. Our home is not for sale,” one of them said.
Louisa Smith, an elder from Lax Kw’alaams, told the crowd she rarely shares her opinions in public, but felt compelled because a way of life is being threatened.
“We say no, collectively, and we hope Enbridge can take that to its minds and hearts and hear what we have to say, that we are here to protect what the creator has placed in our hands for seven generations down the line to enjoy what we have today,” Smith said.
All levels of government were represented at the rally, with Prince
Rupert Mayor Jack Mussallem, City Councillor Joy Thorkelson, MLA Gary Coons and MP Nathan Cullen all taking turns at the microphone.
While Mussallem encouraged participants to walk carefully in the rally and arm themselves with knowledge, he also referred to the joint panel review process for the pipeline project that will take place over the next two to three years.
“It’s important that we keep informed about what’s going on with that process and that we’re all informed so that we can speak with a degree of knowledge and share our concerns,” the mayor said.
It was Thorkelson, who is also the northern representative for the United Fishermen and Allied Workers Union, who pounded her fists in the air and reminded the crowd it was the fourth fight she’s participated in since her arrival on the coast.
“We will win this one, we have won all the others,” she said,
referring to the Kitimat Oil Port Inquiry, offshore oil drilling inquiries in the 1980s and again in 2002.
Standing with Henry Clifton, President of the North Coast Native Brotherhood, Thorkelson said the two were united in a fight for fish and for a clean and wonderful ocean.
Clifton said he was the president of the student council at the Hartley Bay Day School when he fought to stop oil tankers on the coast.
“When the Princess Patricia came up the channel we expected 17 boats out of Hartley Bay to stop her, but instead we had something like 700 boats from all the native communities and Green Peace. The end of the story is that we stopped them and Green Peace brought the story all over the world,” Clifton recalled.
Cullen recounted the first time he met with Enbridge five years
ago and was told the company had $1 million to promote the project.
“I told them the money would not buy the hearts and minds of the people in the Northwest who would stand up against the project to say ‘no’ and say ‘yes” to protect the future,” Cullen said.
Coons said every First Nation in B.C. has a resolve
to shut the project down and talked about grade six students who asked him to help stop tankers from coming into the Great Bear Rainforest.
Fresh from the Enbridge AGM held in Calgary on May 10, Jasmine Thomas said her and a bus load of other First Nations met with 20 board members of the company there.
She read from a declaration that was presented to the board and shareholders.
The gist of the statement is that the laws of the First Nations that are tied to the land and waters cannot permit the Enbridge pipeline project to proceed.
A decision by Canada to approve the project, without consent or prior approval of all First Nations, the declaration added, will be a direct violation of treaty rights and First Nations laws.
“Enbridge and government can try and downplay all the resistance if they want, but if there’s one thing that Enbridge did, it was unite us in such a way that they don’t even
know what they did,” Thomas told the crowd.
Arnie Nagy, a Haida from Prince Rupert, also attended the Calgary AGM and praised the leadership of the youth that attended.
“A 10-year-old came into the AGM to speak to the board members and shareholders. Go to YouTube and type in Shallow Waters and there will be a song she wrote about her concerns. In that meeting she told them, the collective knowledge in the room, to listen to her concerns for the future, and they listened” Nagy said.
But when he told the AGM attendees oil tankers would never be allowed in the traditional waters off Haida Gwaii, the response from the board and chair was that they could change that “no” into a “yes” and that’s what they were working on.
From the park, the rally proceeded to Chances where participants stopped to drum and chant outside the front entrance. Some of the delegates from the
conference came out to observe. One woman said it was great to see and suggested rallies should take place in every town along the proposed pipeline route.
The group marched down George Hills Way along the waterfront, and was greeted by a flotilla of local sailboats, paddlers, a surfboarder, and a couple of porpoises.
Stopping directly below the balcony of Chances people chanted, “No to Enbridge” while a dozen people from the conference dinner came out to listen.
From below Rice said she was overwhelmed by the turnout and said she was thankful to Enbridge for uniting everyone together.
“That’s the positive in the negative,” she added.

People making their way around Prince Rupert on Friday evening would have noticed that it was anything but business as usual in town.
Aside from the throngs of tourists who departed from the Norwegian Pearl walking around downtown and Cow Bay, a familiar site over the past several summers, there were also musicians performing at various places in the community, street performers plying their craft, spoken word artists and even Charles Hays standing beside his own statue. Parking in Cow Bay was also a little off as the Salmonberry Trading Company moved their market from the Courthouse lawn to the lot across from Atlin Terminal, which now includes an interpretive centre that features displays and exhibits of local ecology and First Nations Culture, to create a more concentrated area of cruise passenger attraction.
It is all part of a renewed effort spearheaded by the Prince Rupert Cruise Task Force to provide a memorable and positive passenger experience for those who walk around town as opposed to taking shore excursion.
“Looking through the feedback it was really positive in terms of the passengers’ impression of Prince Rupert, their time on shore and the shore excursion program even though some of it was not on line yet. In terms of engaging the independent
guests, anecdotal feedback on the buskers and street performers was very positive and the market was also very well received,” said Andrew Hamilton, Director of Business Development for the Prince Rupert Port Authority, noting that there is more to come as the season progresses.
“A lot of the initiatives that have been worked on by the Cruise Task Force will really be ramping up in the first three weeks...By the third ship we’ll roll out a new cruise discovery guide that will also help with orientation and a guidebook to Prince Rupert. Tying into that, there will be interpretive stations with people telling the story of Prince Rupert.”
The task force includes representatives from the Prince Rupert Port Authority, Community Futures, business leaders and agencies such as Tourism Prince Rupert and the Prince Rupert and Port Edward Economic Development Corporation. VP of Marketing and Business Development Shaun Stevenson notes that the task force is a working group that will look to improve week to week and month to month, and that a working group is also looking ahead to 2012 and 2013.

A property tax rate increase of 2.4 per cent has been set for Prince Rupert in 2011.
While final adoption of the tax rate occurred during a special meeting on Wednesday at noon in City Hall chambers, the bulk of discussion around the rate and the City’s five-year financial plan occurred during the regular council meeting on Monday evening.
In opposition to the rate, Councillor Gordon-Payne continued to voice concerns over a budget line showing tax income from Watson Island that hasn’t materialized, while Councillor Bedard said she didn’t like seeing
infrastructure items such as roads and parks taking a cut.
Making a case for the rate, Councillor Anna Ashley suggested it was a balancing act.
“I think that right now the increase is a compromise from raising the taxes any higher, but recognition that we have bills to pay and we need to pay them. Does that mean in the future we shouldn’t be looking at changes and re-evaluating? I don’t think so. We’ve been trying to do that as we try to balance cutting services and staff and providing services,” she said.
Mayor Jack Mussallem agreed and said it’s hard to operate without raising taxes to meet rising costs.
“On an annual basis the City encounters non-discretionary costs such as increases in hydro and gas that we have no control over,” he said, adding that this year taxes
would have been raised nine per cent to meet all requests, but council and staff tried to find the lowest rate possible.
The 2.4 per cent increase will enable the City to pay for one RCMP officer position, formerly paid for through another funding program, and will result in an operating budget expenditure of $4,405,000 for the RCMP out of the City’s total expenditure budget of $23,710,000.
There was an opportunity Monday night for the public to comment on the proposed tax rate and the amended five-year financial plan.
Jason Scherr, second President of the Prince Rupert and District Chamber of Commerce, and private citizen Larry Golden, were the only people to make comments.
Scherr told council the Chamber advocated a municipal tax freeze and that the budget be balanced by reducing expenditures rather than increasing taxes.
Those measures, he said, would
lessen the burden on businesses and promote a competitive economy.
Building on concerns made by Councillors Gordon-Payne and Bedard in the first round of discussions about the tax rate at the April 26 council meeting, Scherr said the Chamber wanted to know why there hadn’t been cuts to the administration budget, which accounts for 70 to 80 per cent of the budget, and why council had approved over $1.6 million in grant funding to community groups before it knew what the final budget would look like.
“It’s important that the budget be developed in its entirety so that all expenditures receive the same level of scrutiny,” Scherr said.
City Manager Gordon Howie responded that there have been reductions in the neighbourhood of $500,000 in the operating budget of various departments, including the reduction in $50,000 out of parks and $100,000 out of the roads.
Scherr also asked if CityWest will be paying a dividend in 2011,
which it didn’t in 2010, and heard the board has r e c o m m -ended a payment of $1 million for this year.
A f t e r the meeting Scherr told
the Prince Rupert Northern View the Chamber is still waiting to hear back from the council on a proposed Municipal Relations Committee and whether members of council would be willing to sit on the Chamber committee.
“We were asked for a terms of reference, which we sent in a month ago, and we haven’t heard anything back yet,” Scherr said.
Golden asked about the timeline for public comment on the budget and said normally there’s a public meeting before the final adoption of the budget and tax rate.
“I think the citizens deserve to have a larger say and to really go through it with a fine tooth comb, rather than making generic statements,” he told council.
Mayor Jack Mussallem responded that the five-year financial plan has been available to the public to review and find out about particular items or get a greater understanding by coming and talking to City staff.
The mayor also said anyone with questions on Monday night would receive a written response from the City. Councillor Gordon-Payne told the Mayor she felt the questions should be answered at the meeting if possible, rather than making people wait.
Golden also criticized the budgeted taxpayer subsidy of $800,000 for the airport ferry in 2011.

At the May 9 council meeting the District of Port Edward threw their support behind plans to re-open a granite mine on Smith Island, located near the mouth of the Skeena River.
The proposed start date for the mine, which is being championed by Edgeworth Construction Ltd. of Kelowna, is March 1, 2012 with a proposed finish date of December
31, 2041. During the course of the mine’s life the company estimated extracting 250,000 tonnes per year, with the total minable reserves over the life of the mine sitting at 7.1 million tonnes. The project includes three phases of development.
According to the application submitted to the Ministry of Energy, Mines and Petroleum, “the mining and pit operations will be continuous, with most mining occurring between April and
October, with activities driven by demand for the product”.
The property is currently owned by Quantum Granite Ltd of Courtenay and 95 per cent of the site has already been disturbed by logging operations, including a logging road that leads to a barge loading and log sort site that is being proposed as the location of a barge loading ramp for the gravel.
Chief administrative officer Ron Bedard noted
that potential port development is being attributed to a number of granite mine and quarry proposals in the area, and council said this one in particular sounds solid.
“This is not the first time that mine has come up, but this operation seems the most serious and most likely to move forward…
There was logging in the area 15-20 years ago, so the residents nearby shouldn’t be terribly offended by it,” said councilor Murray Kristoff.
“We should be behind this. It is on an existing lot and an area that has been disturbed before so I think it is a good idea,” added councilor Knut Bjorndal.

Jobless rate continues to declineBy Rod Link
Black Press
The region’s jobless rate fell in April compared to March, reflecting an uptick in the economy now that winter has passed.
April’s rate was 8.2 per cent compared to March’s 9.1 per cent.
By numbers, that works out to 41,500 people working in April compared to 41,000 in March.
In April 2010 the jobless rate was 12 per cent and just 38,000 people were listed as working.
The number of people unemployed dropped from March’s figure of 4,100 to 3,700 in April.
These statistics are derived from interviews by Statistics Canada of people over the age of 15 who consider themselves part of the workforce whether they are working or not and apply to the area from the North Coast west to just this side of Vanderhoof. They are not taken from Employment Insurance figures.
In all, 45,200 people considered themselves part of the workforce in April whether they were working or not, an increase from 45,100 in March.
April’s regional rate of 8.2 per cent is now below the provincial rate which is 8.4 per cent. Only the northeast with 5.4 per cent and the Cariboo at 7.1 per cent have jobless rates lower than here.

OPINIONNorth Coast
While Enbridge continues moving forward with the Joint Review Panel process, which will undoubtedly provide answers to some of the numerous questions people have about the project, I just don’t see how this project moves forward - with or without government approval.
Yes Stephen Harper and the majority Conservative government are supporters of the project in terms of opening new markets to Canadian energy.
But if the rally on Thursday evening proved anything it is this: People in the northwest, where the project poses the most risk, are not only extremely passionate about stopping this project but there is perhaps nothing in the past several years that has united the people than this proposed pipeline.
People chartered busses or drove hundreds of kilometres to participate in the protest, not a small feat given that it took place during the work week, and First Nations from throughout the region banded together to say “we will not let this happen”. And it would be easier to dismiss the protest as nothing more than environmentalist posturing were it not for the wide variety of people in attendance. Speakers during the event included elementary, high school and college youth, working class people representing a broad spectrum of ages, Hereditary Chiefs, seniors and the elected officials from both the provincial and federal level.
Even if the government grants approval, which is a possibility even in the face of such opposition, don’t expect either residents of the region to just lay down and accept it.
In fact, expect the opposition to only increase to make the inevitable no longer viable through the courts or on the ground.
I keep going back to an ad from the 2010 ANT guide quoting different Chiefs indicating they would take whatever means needed to stop the project. The one that really stands
out to me is: “I’m not going to say we’ll be affected because there is no damn way it’s going to happen”.
That quote is attributed to Haida Nation president Guujaaw, who has shown how powerful and effective a united voice and passionate opposition can be when it comes to protecting the land and environment.
MY VIEW…
Looking at Enbridge’s future in the region...
Social media continues to be the underlying theme of conversation with visiting writers. I hope that this fear-driven uncertainty about the future of publishing doesn’t ultimately distract us from the simple truth that we are trying to bring our stories to readers around the world.
In candid conversation a travel writer friend of mine – a travel writer of considerable talent and experience – sometimes muses that he may opt out of this brave new world of travel writing in a digital age.
Perhaps he was being a little tongue-in-cheek, but I can hear in his tone that it is something he’s seriously considered. The battle for initial publishing success takes a lot out of a writer. For the novice writer, publication is the finish line in a grueling marathon. The prospect of having to fight the battle again and again, the rules changing with each contest, is disheartening to say the least. A fickle readership with finite leisure time faces an escalating amount of information. Where will we even find a loyal readership? How can the writer make a living
in a world where consumers are conditioned to enjoying an unlimited wealth of free content?
It’s not that my friend didn’t understand the new media, or that he wasn’t active in it. Yet he was questioning whether or not he still had the ambition to start over in a new and sometimes bewildering world.
I hope that he comes to his senses. Because what is lost in all of this discussion of e-business and online editorial content and social media is that at the heart of it, the reader’s hunger for the observational talent of the seasoned storyteller remains the same. In this type of writing, as in many others, there are up-and-comers showing spectacular results. But in their fascination with the new and shiny I fear that some may be missing the point.
We’ve all heard the stories of the driver
who plowed into an eight-foot bridge with a ten-foot truck, or tried to drive over a washed out bridge, because he couldn’t take his eyes off the miraculous technology of his new GPS. We hear this and shake our heads – could he not lift his eyes long enough to see the red warning sign? But I think that this approach to the allure of technology might be more common than we imagine. Technology helps, but it can’t
replace vision and common sense.I know a travel writer who has mastered
blogging and social media. Thousands follow his whirlwind assault upon the world. They live vicariously through his endless adventures. It seems that he tweets from Indonesia today and Scotland tomorrow. Yet his success relies on a cult of personality. What does he actually see? When he visits my city, what impression might he leave with the potential visitor? I suspect that the
answer to that question is very little. He’s mastered the romantic allure of the journey, but offers nothing more substantial than that.
I would say the same of traveler’s blogs. These are diaries, home movies. Here we have detail – too much, in fact – but not the kernel of truth provided with seeming ease by the veteran observer and storyteller.
The experienced travel writer can visit the most mundane destination, truly see it, and describe it in a fashion that makes me want to go. Online glitter can’t replace that.
To Marco Polo, painstakingly scratching out his observations with quill on vellum, even the first earliest printing press might have seemed to be an abomination of the devil. But the medium is not always relevant. The medium here is not the message. The message remains firmly in the control of the storyteller. The veteran storyteller, who studies trees without being distracted by the immensity of the forest, can master this beast. And what is good for the storyteller is good for the destination.

Smoltfest a chance to help salmon stocksBy Martina Perry
The Northern View
For the past four years the Oldfield Creek Fish Hatchery has held Smoltfest, an event where members of the community are invited to the hatchery to partake in the release of thousands of Smolt Salmon and other enjoyable activities.
This year Smoltfest will be held on Saturday, May 28, starting at four p.m., with the releasing beginning at five p.m. Some 15,000 fish need to be released at Smoltfest, which is around half of what the hatchery will free this year. At the event people will take Smolt in buckets to be released in the Oldfield Creek. After being discharged the fish will spend a short amount of time in the creek before they start their lengthy journey into the ocean. If everything goes accordingly, the Smolt will return in two to three years ready to spawn and continue the cycle. Smoltfest is held in the evening so that the release is less stressful on the fish, and to increase their chance at survival.
Additionally, people in attendance can enjoy delicious barbeque food, games, educational booths and a craft table where children can decorate wooden fish that will be put on display after renovations are complete on the fence surrounding the hatchery.
Entry will be by donation, with all the money raised going towards the hatchery. This year, the focus of the funds collected will be going towards
completing renovations occurring at the hatchery. The hatchery has been making some extensive renovations
over the past year with the next step being to redo the floor. When complete, the renovations will include an
education centre, one of the only centers of this nature in the Province. This will be helpful for the “Friends of the Salmon” program that various schools in town take part in where students get to learn about the life cycle of the fish.
Beth Armstrong-Bewick from the hatchery says that the organization is always in need of volunteers. Currently there are just over 10 people who regularly volunteer their time to the organization.
The Prince Rupert Salmonid Enhancement Society started Smoltfest four years ago to help raise awareness and get the community involved with the hatchery, which is a non-profit organization run by volunteers. People wishing to volunteer are encouraged to call the hatchery at 250-624-5127.

Residents of Masset will be the beneficiaries of a paving project to improve the highway through town and the Towhill Arterial road.
The project, worth approximately $1.6 million, includes resurfacing about 7.5 kilometres of the Towhill Arterial road, from the CFB radar station to the Blue Jacket subdivision just south of town and widening the shoulders
on 3.2 kilometes of Highway 16 through Masset. The widening of the shoulders is being done to improve safety for pedestrians and cyclists.
Adventure Paving of Prince Rupert was awarded the contract, and work on the
repaving is scheduled to begin in June and finish in August.
“The work on Towhill Road will improve access to Naikoon Provincial Park, where visitors come to enjoy some of the most spectacular old- growth
hiking trails and best beachcombing in the world. As well, the improvements we’re doing in Masset will help improve safety,” said Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure Blair Lekstrom.

Our loved ones are precious and unfortunately none of us can predict when potential disaster might strike.
Today’s life jackets look nothing like the lifejackets and vests of even 10 years ago. Think of the first cell phones - how bulky and awkward they were. Think of today’s mobile phones: sleek, slim, lightweight.
That’s what lifejackets and personal flotation devices are like today. Materials are lighter, stronger and more comfortable to wear. And the new, approved inflatable life vests and personal flotation devices lie flat around your shoulders like a collar.
For years, the Canadian Safe Boating Council has been urging boaters to take the necessary precautions and always wear a life jacket on the water.
Many times boaters will proudly tell boating safety officials that they always have their lifejackets on board their boats, just like the law demands.
The CSBC applauds this but reminds those boaters that a life jacket isn’t intended to save the life of the boat. It’s meant to save the life of the human being on the boat!
So if you fall in the water without your life jacket on your body, that fine sense of pride in having lifejackets on board won’t help keep you floating.
Not long ago, the CSBC conducted an experiment. The Council selected roughly half a dozen volunteers, both young and old and asked them to jump into a swimming pool and, once in the water, attempt to get into a life jacket.
All the participants said afterwards how difficult it was to perform that seemingly simple task. Few of them managed to select lifejackets that were the right size when they were in the pool.
Rob Hall, one of the volunteers, summed it up best when he remarked “I think it’s way too tough to put on a life jacket in the water, to have to put it on after your boat’s flipped over”.
And if it was tough for volunteers in a swimming pool, imagine how difficult it would be in a real-life situation in a lake, river or ocean with individuals overcome by panic and fear.
THE CHILDREN WORE IT !Reg Buxton and his family
decided one summer to take a
different kind of family vacation.They chartered a trawler-styled
boat to explore British Columbia’s Inside Channel. The waters of the Inside Channel are extremely deep and extremely cold, even in summer.
Reg and his wife had the good sense to equip each of their three kids with lifejackets and make them wear them all the time.
Things were going smoothly; everyone was having fun. The kids were down below playing while Reg and his wife were at the helm enjoying the afternoon scenery.
Some time later, two of the Buxton children joined their mom and dad on deck.
Suddenly, Reg noticed their youngest, David, was not with them. In a panic, they searched the boat for little David, to no avail. He was gone.
Reg called the Coast Guard who told him to circle back and retrace his route while they scrambled help.
Reg and his family came upon David at the same time another boat did.
“They could see something red bobbing in the water”, Reg said later.
David Buxton was saved by his life jacket. It kept him floating and its bright colour alerted rescuers.
What would have happened if David hadn’t been wearing a brightly coloured life jacket?
THE ADULT DIDN’T WEAR IT !
Brendan d’Arcy had a similar experience with his son, Ciaran. The two were in their boat, Ciaran wearing his life jacket. Brendan chose not to wear one.
A careless boater tossed the d’Arcys out of their own vessel and into the water. Brendan’s initial thought was to get as far away from the spinning props of his motor as possible. He swam some 20 yards away from the boat and found Ciaran.
By his own admission, Brendan is not a good swimmer. He tried to swim back to his boat in order to bring it back and rescue his son. But Brendan began sinking as he tried to get back to his vessel.
He wouldn’t be here today if another vessel hadn’t noticed Ciaran.
“They spotted his life vest before they spotted him”, Brendan
said. A s
C i a r a n was pulled to safety, so too was Brendan, who likely would have drowned otherwise.
“The first thing I do when I go out on the water is put my life jacket on. And it stays on until I’m back on land”, proclaims Brendan today.
These are not fictional accounts designed to scare Canadian boaters into wearing lifejackets. These are real-life stories from boaters who survived and live because of a life jacket.
None of these Canadians could possibly have imagined such deadly scenarios occurring to them. After all, what are the chances? Well, thankfully, the chances are small. But not impossibly small. So long as there is one chance in a million, why take that chance when it involves your life? Make the smart choice. WEAR IT !
Safe boating awareness

NOW FEATURING
By Shaun Thomas The Northern View
When Raven Grauman was buying her home she performed her due diligence and hired a local home inspector, but now she is warning other potential home buyers to know what they’re getting for their money and to take every step possible to be there for the home inspection itself.
“I found a house I wanted and asked the realtor who would be good. She suggested this person, but also said if I knew a plumber or carpenter or electrician who could look they might be more knowledgeable about the specifics. I was supposed to meet the home inspector at three p.m., but when I got there at three he had already done the inspection,” she said.
“He didn’t turn on the water at all as part of the inspection and when I asked him about that he said it wasn’t his responsibility. The result was that when we turned on the water there were two large leaks that I am now responsible for.”
The home inspection cost $425 and repairs as a results of the damage were about $500.
And while it may seem odd that a home inspector wouldn’t turn on the water, the Canadian Association of Home and Property Inspectors (CAHPI) Standards of Practice and Code of Ethics does indicate that running water through the pipes isn’t a requirement of a home inspection. According to the document, “the inspector shall inspect the interior water supply and distribution systems including all fixtures and faucets,” but “is not required to operate any system or component which is otherwise shut down or inoperable” nor operate “shut off valves”. Executive director of CAHPI BC Helene Barton says that it’s not something required and whether it is done or not varies.
“In my mind most would do it anyway, because certainly they do check the waterlines in the bathroom and the kitchen.
The standards and practices are minimal, and it is up to the individual how comfortable they are going beyond that,” she said, noting that the home inspector in question is not registered with the association.
“When it’s not someone who is part of our association it is difficult to comment.”
That the water wasn’t turned on was noted in the report, something Barton says should cover the inspector.

Sun Wave off Port Ed booksBy Shaun Thomas
The Northern View
The District of Port Edward received and approved their 2010 Financial Statements at the May 9 meeting, and auditor Alan K. Hooper told council that the receivable from Sun Wave Forest Products is no longer being considered when it comes to the district’s finances.
“You’re not going to get that receivable, the value of it is now locked up in the land…The value of the receivable has been moved over and the property is now listed as an asset,” he told council, noting that the change was partly due to the site becoming property of the City of Prince Rupert as a result of a tax sale.
“The value of the land assessed
is in excess of $4 million and the receivable that was carried over from Sun Wave was about $850,000.”
Indeed the inclusion of receivables from Sun Wave makes an impact on the financial statements, said Chief Administrative Officer Ron Bedard.
“Our surplus for 2010 was approximately $284,000, but about $154,000 of that was unpaid receivables from Sun Wave. So we are in the black, but not by as much as the report shows,” he told council.
With the money owed no longer being considered a receivable for auditing purposes, councilor Knut Bjorndal said the focus should be on getting the property off the books in general.
“If we can sell it for more then we’re owed, then more power to us.”

The Kaien Anti-Poverty Society will be hosting the 2nd annual Spring Gala at the Crest Hotel later this month to help support the society’s many aid programs that are offered to members of the community who are in need.
“[Last years] Gala was very successful and everyone had a great time,” said Colleen Hermanson from KAPS, mentioning that last year’s event raised around
$8,000 for programs run by the organization.
This year the Spring Gala will once again be taking place in the Banquet Room at the Crest Hotel with cocktails starting at six p.m. and dinner, a buffet provided by the Crest Hotel, starting at seven p.m. There will be entertainment and live auctions that will include the auctioning off of a trip for two to Vancouver donated kindly by Hawkair, as well as items from Cooks Jewelers and Manson’s Jewelers. Later in the evening a DJ
will be performing and the dance floor will be opened.
The KAPS organization has been official since 2003 and has helped countless individuals and families in the area who are in need with programs such as the after school program, which has an estimated 100 children registered in it, and the Family Support Program, which will be the focus of the collected funds from the Spring Gala. KAPS also provides pro bono service through Access Justice, a society from Vancouver, so people
can receive free legal advice, and a free store where clothes and other household goods are collected and redistributed to people in need. An estimated 35 people utilize the free store each day.
Additionally, the society created a community garden last year for people to make use of, which is located on an abandoned field on Kootenay Avenue and McKay Street. Currently the group is working with the City to get more land for another community garden, this one on the east side
of town, as well as hoping to revitalize the Kootenay/McKay field so that children living in BC Housing, as well as any children in the community, can enjoy playing baseball, basketball and other sports together. KAPS have been meeting with other groups from the community in order to plan a campaign to raise some money to fix up the field.
Tickets for the Spring Gala can be purchased by contacting any of the board members, or Colleen at 250 627 5277.

North Coast alternative rock band Latex Nightmare has recently returned to Prince Rupert after a two-week journey around the province where the boys played multiple shows and recorded material for their first album.
Latex Nightmare is made up of Liam Cullen, who is the vocalist and guitarist, Robert Rushton on bass and Jared Lund on drums. Latex Nightmare formed over two years ago and since then they’ve laid down an impressive amount of concrete on the road to a successful music career, one of the most notable being that they opened for bands such as Chilliwack and Nazareth at Grizzfest 2010 after winning the music festival’s battle of the bands competition.
Another perk of winning battle of the bands was that the boys received six free hours of recording time at Solar Peace Productions, located in Dawson Creek. Latex Nightmare raised money by holding a number of live shows at the Underground in order to purchase more time at the studio.
When the Prince Rupert Northern View asked band members how the recording session went, Rushton quickly answered “nothing went as planned, and everything went better than expected.” The boys had three days to record; about six hours a day to complete as many songs as they could, and they got eight done. During that time, Latex Nightmare worked closely with the owner and producer of Solar Peace Productions, Bert Goulet.
“Bert Goulet was so professional. Exactly how you would imagine a real recording studio to be,” commented Cullen.
“We encourage anyone who wants to write music to go there,” added Lund.
Now that the recording is complete, the band must raise enough money to have the album pressed, as well as work on all the finishing details including creating art for the album.
“Right now we have a bottle fund going [to help raise funds needed to release the album]. So it just depends on how fast we can drink, really,” joked Rushton.
Additionally, while up north the band visited Fort St. John to play a planned gig with old-time rock and roll band, Unresolved, a group the boys have previously played with on a number of different occasions. The Latex guys also played three spontaneous shows.
“It’s hustle and bustle up there,” said Rushton. Latex Nightmare then traveled to Vancouver to
play at a small venue called “At the Gates” located near Hastings Street. The opportunity for this show came about after Rushton had seen Trophy Wife; an indie band based out of Vancouver, and instantly grew fond of the band.
After attending a few shows, Rushton brought Cullen to see Trophy Wife and the two ended up hanging out with the band. During this time, Trophy Wife invited Latex Nightmare to play a show with them.
Although the venue was small, there were a lot of people in attendance with a large number of them originating from Prince Rupert. Latex Nightmare played for over an hour.
“By the end of it, we were all drenched in sweat. It was the best show,” said Cullen.
In terms of future shows, Latex Nightmare will be keeping it low-key until the middle of June when they have two live performances lined up, the first being a benefit show taking place at the Underground on Friday, June 17. The show will be benefiting the My Mountain Co-op group, who hope to purchase Shames Mountain Ski Area.
“[Snowboarding] is a passionate thing for Liam
and me,” explained Rushton.“We want to help in any way
we can, and playing a show is how we can do that.”
Later in June, the boys will hit the stage for the Seafest “Battle of the Bands” competition.

Over the weekend, the PRSS Drama Department hosted Dessert Theatre at the Lester Centre of the Arts where people attending enjoyed hilarious plays and delicious desserts.
The first play of the evening was Stephen Gregg’s “Wake-up Call”, a production that won PRSS the provincial spot at the Northwest Zone Drama Festival, as well as receiving Best Sound, and Best Acting Awards. “Wake-up Call” is about Jim (played by Gregory Miller), a teenager who is having difficulties distinguishing reality from his dreams. Jim repeatedly wakes up in two different locations where odd occurrences are taking place.
The first location is his girlfriend Rochelle’s (played by Angelica Jesser) bedroom, where after the couple exchange “I love you”, she tries to convince him to help her poison her father (played by Josh Tooke, who was awarded with best male supporting actor for his performance).
The second location Jim keeps waking up in is his bedroom, where he’s experience some odd behavior from his mother (played by Caitlund Catherall, who received the award for best female actor in a main role) who keeps trying to seduce him, and his own personal chorus (consisting of Rhianna Rimmer, Andrea Apollos and Shanna
Repole).During the intermission people could sample
the yummy homemade desserts students and their families baked to be put up for silent auction, as well as test their luck on the 50/50 boards.
PRSS Alumni Jessica Feser wrote “Writer’s Block” which was the second performance of the evening.
“Writer’s Block” is an absolutely hilarious play, which won “Best Physical Comedy” at zones, about Marnie (played by Naomi Vandermeer), a teenaged girl who is having issues finishing a school assignment. With the help of her friend Terry (played by Natasha Dover), Marnie creates a story about Antonio (played by Matthew Wigmore), a prince on a quest for love. Shortly after Antonio meets and falls for Sophie (played by Georgia Riddell), he must rescue her from Villain (played by Gregory Miller) after she is kidnapped.
Antonio teams up with Garrett, or “Sidekick” (played by Patrick Morrison) who also wants to get revenge on Villain for the death of his father.

City pushing for full allocation of Pinks in 2011By Monica Lamb-Yorski
The Northern View
Predicting a dismal sockeye fishing season, with no openings on the Nass River and only four days on the Skeena River, a Prince Rupert city councillor has requested City Hall write to the Department of Fisheries and Oceans asking that gillnetters and seiners be able to access their full allocation of pinks salmon in 2011.
According to Councillor Joy Thorkelson there should be a large run for pink salmon.
“In fact, it should be one of the record runs on the north coast if it comes in as expected. There should be a seven million return to the Skeena, we should be able to take three or four million of that in catch. There should be over a million and a half million catch on the Nass, and approximately seven million catch down by Hartley Bay,” Thorkelson said at Monday evening’s council meeting.
Gillnetters are allocated up to 25 per cent of the pink salmon run by DFO, but haven’t been allowed to take that allocation over the last seven or eight years.
“It’s not clear if they are going to let gillnetters catch their allocation or not,” Thorkelson said, adding that both gillnetters and seiners have put together fishing plans for a controlled harvest, where they will deliver on alternate days, use different mesh sizes and observers, to get around the non-targeted
bi-catch.Thorkelson told council she wanted the
City write and ask DFO to develop fish plans that allow gillnets and seines to catch their allocated amount of pink salmon this year to ensure that local canneries are working full force and fishermen are able to make some kind of a living.
She put her request in the form of a motion that received full endorsement from council.
“The department has not signalled one way or another whether they are going to allow those pink salmon to be caught,” Thorkelson added.
Area Chief Resource Manager Dale Gueret, who has been in the position since October 2010, said he looked forward to
receiving the letter from the City.“We will do the best we can to make
sure they receive their full allocation, but we have to recognize that if there are weak stock runs we have to make sure we address all the issues,” Gueret said.
“There could be restrictions.”Councillor Sheila Gordon-Payne asked
Thorkelson if there was anything more that council could do in addition to writing a letter, but heard the next step would be to invite Gueret to a meeting, although Thorkelson said is hopeful it won’t have to go that far, but that DFO will allow for the full allocation.
“We will certainly recognize what they’ve said. We are doing our best,” said Gueret

FALLS RIVER WATER USE PLAN (WUP) UPDATE
2837
Between May 2002 and May 2003 BC Hydro, in consultation with stakeholders, First Nations and provincial and federal governments, developed the Falls River Water Use Plan. The Comptroller of Water Rights issued BC Hydro a new Water Licence for the Falls River Generating Station on April 4, 2006.
The new licence stipulates how the plant will be operated (e.g. minimum flows and the rate of change of flow) and also identifies six monitoring studies to be carried out over the next five years. BC Hydro subsequently prepared Terms of Reference for Contractors to undertake these studies. On November 28, 2006, BC Hydro received (Leave to Commence) these studies from the Comptroller of Water Rights. A total of 6 studies are to be undertaken.
A SUMMARY OF THE STUDIES AND THEIR PROGRESS IS AS FOLLOWS:
1. Falls River Presence and Timing of Steelhead and Salmon
Spawning Monitoring: A three-year study to determine the timing of adult salmon and steelhead presence and spawning in the Falls River downstream of the dam and in the tailpond.
Status: Year 3 of 3 was carried out in 2009. The final report for this study was received in April 2010. No adult steelhead or salmon were observed in the tailpond in 2007 and 2008. In 2009, adult pink and chum salmon utilized the tailpond as a staging area during August and early September and cutthroat trout, juvenile coho and chinook were observed from shore or during angling surveys. No salmon redds by any species were found during a total of 22 snorkel surveys over the expected spawning ranges of the five salmon species, during the three-year program. Reports for Years 1, 2 and 3 are available on the BC Hydro website.
2. Falls River Fish Spawning Habitat Monitoring: A three-year study to examine the conditions for salmon egg-fry survival in the tailpond.
Status: Year 3 of 3 was initiated in fall 2010 and included the placement of incubation boxes containing eyed Chinook eggs into the tailpond. Egg survival and environmental conditions have been monitored during winter and early spring. Reports from Year 1 and 2 are available on the BC Hydro website and the final report for Year 3 will be posted in August 2011.
3. Big Falls Reservoir Tributary Access and Potential Stranding
Monitoring: A one-year study in the reservoir to identify barriers in three tributaries within the drawdown zone and identify potential areas of fish stranding along the shoreline of the drawdown zone.
Status: This study was initiated in 2009 and BC Hydro received the final report in August 2010, which can be viewed on BC Hydro’s website. No fish barriers were found during 2009 field truthing (visual searches with boats, waders and over flights) and aerial photo review of the reservoir at 88.8 m to 90.8 m ASL. Areas identified as potential stranding locations (east end of reservoir and south shore and Carthew Creek) were considered to have low fisheries value (e.g., mud flats); therefore considered a low stranding risk. Areas, primarily on the southern shore, with high value fish habitat (e.g., gradual sloping, vegetated areas) were classified as having high stranding risk.
4. Big Falls Reservoir Sedge Habitat Maintenance Monitoring: A two-year study in Years 1 and 5 to document and map vegetation in the drawdown zone of the reservoir.
Status: Year 1 of this study was initiated 2007 and all surveys and data collection were successfully carried out. The study has since been delayed due to the spillway gate upgrade project at Falls River Generating Station. The Year 1 report is available on the BC Hydro
website. Additional work on this study is tentatively suspended pending the interim review WUP review, anticipated to take place in September 2011. Interpretation of data is to be performed after the completion of year 2 data collection. A Master Thesis on this subject matter was completed in January 2011.
5. Big Falls Reservoir Tributary Backwatering Monitoring: A one-year study to survey for redds in the drawdown zone of three tributaries or, if necessary, sampling for adult spawners by netting, angling, or direct observation by snorkelling. In addition, collect water temperature and life history data.
Status: This study was initiated in 2009. While some field data was collected not all sites could be surveyed as planned due to reservoir elevations. The field work for this study was completed in April 2011. The final report is expected in June 2011 and will be posted on BC Hydro’s website in July 2011. At this time there is no data to interpret for this monitoring program.
6. Big Falls Reservoir Wildlife Shoreline Habitat Monitoring: A three-year study to collect background data as well as document dens and nests established in the drawdown zone of the reservoir. The operational impacts of the flashboard installation on nests and dens is to be assessed.
Status: Year 3 of 3 was carried out in 2009. The final report was received in August 2010. Reports from Years 1 to 3 are available on the BC Hydro website. The monitoring results indicated there will be no direct impact to cavity nesting birds or osprey as a result of the WUP operating regime. Specifically, there is little potential impact to shoreline nesting birds during and/or after the period of nest establishment. The results confirm the existence of den and/or overwintering locations in the drawdown zone. Overwintering areas and maternal dens that exist at water surface elevations < 92.4 m ASL have a high potential for being impacted under the WUP operating regime. Twelve dens were found in the drawdown zone between 90.3 m – 92.4 m ASL. It should be noted that the type of use and species using them may vary over time.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
BC Hydro is required to submit the annual reports for each study, as well as an annual watershed summary report, to the Comptroller of Water Rights. BC Hydro posts these reports on the BC Hydro web as they become available. For access to the annual reports, please visit bchydro.com/planning_regulatory/water_use_planning/
northern_interior and you’ll see Falls River.
The Terms of Reference for these studies are also available on this website. After five years of operation under the newly issued licence, BC Hydro will reconvene a technical Monitoring Advisory Committee to review the study results. This meeting is anticipated to take place September 2011. Depending on the assessment, a decision will be made as to whether an early review of the WUP is needed. The WUP Consultative Committee recommended a review of the WUP at year 10, unless study results showed an earlier review would be appropriate.

Enbridge respondsBy Shaun Thomas
The Northern View
While hundreds of people and several northwest First Nations gathered in Prince Rupert on Thursday to protest Enbridge’s proposed Northern Gateway Pipeline project, the company says it is important to note that the company does have support from First Nations when it comes to moving the project forward.
“While it’s true that some First Nations are expressing firm opposition, it would be incorrect to portray that as a unanimous or majority view. In recent months Enbridge has entered into more than a dozen commercial agreements with Aboriginal groups related to the construction of Northern Gateway. We continue to be in active negotiation with dozens more,” said company spokesperson Paul Stanway.
“Enbridge has been consulting with Aboriginal communities for several years, and will continue to do so in order to understand Aboriginal interests so that we can avoid or minimize potential impacts. We’ll continue listening and working through the issues...Not everyone will support Northern Gateway – we understand that – but Enbridge believes the Joint Review Panel process will enable everyone to have their questions answered and concerns addressed. It is our belief that people’s concerns will decrease dramatically as they learn more about what we’re proposing and our commitment to safeguard the environment.”
More information on the review process can be found at www.gatewaypanel.review.gc.ca.
◆ COMPANY STATEMENT
“Not everyone will support Northern Gateway – we under-stand that...”

Hope everyone completed their census; what a snap it was to be able to complete it online and how rewarding it was to have helped seniors complete theirs online at the Centre.
As mentioned earlier we are completing a “transformation” of the basement space from a
dingy, dark, drab games area into a bright, cheery, welcoming space. We were able to secure funding from Human Resources Development Canada to complete the work and are anxious to get started playing darts soon. Thanks to the Charity Bridge Club we should be ready pretty soon. If you are interested in playing darts please come see us, call 627-1900 or e-mail us at [email protected]
At the end of June we will be giving our Bingo Volunteers a break on Fridays and will be playing cards instead of Bingo. It will probably be Whist
played every Friday during the months of July and August, and Monday will be for crib. If you are rusty and need some help remembering how to play cards we want you to come down to the Centre at 1:00 Mondays and Fridays during the summer months to practice. There will be lots of help for you!
**Please note: we will be closed for the Victoria Day holiday Monday May 23**
Zone 10 news: Gen Meeting Terrace May 28, 1:30 p.m. Will be drawing for the train trip and $500 gift certificate from Cook’s.

In life we loved you dearly,In death we do the same.
It broke our hearts to lose you,you did not go alone.
For part of us went with youThe day God called you home.You left us beautiful memories,
Your love is still our guide.And though we cannot see you,
You are always by our side.Our family chain is broken,
And nothing seems the same.But as God calls us one by one,
The chain will link again.Love
Mom, Maxine,Barry, Wayne, Karen, Doug, Husband Stewart & your nieces and nephews
Always in our hearts

The Northern View
Couples form around the northwest made their way to Prince Rupert last week for the annual Mr. and Mrs. Tournament, and it was local golfers who came away with the top prize.
After two days of golf that saw both golfers tee off and then alternate shots, Rob and Sue Brown took home the overall low gross trophy with a score of 157 based on scores of 76 and 81 – which also gave them an impressive 125 net and put them seven shots ahead of the next closest couple. Overall low net for the tournament went to John and Sally Newton, whose score of 190 gave them a net of 130.
Brian and Rose Holkestad took low gross in the A flight with a score of 164 based on a score of 84 on Saturday and 80 on Sunday, followed by Lyle Bazansky and Karin Williamson at 170 and Terry Sawka and Susan Mackenzie with a two day total of 179. Low net for the flight went to a countback and was awarded to Abby and Cynthia Rosario with a net of 139 based on
a score of 169, second low net went to Moe and Pam Hays also with a net of 139 based on a score of 173 and third low net was Brian and Anna Krause with a net of 146 based on a score of 182.
In the B flight, low gross went to Jerry and Bonnie Flan with a two day total of 181 based on scores of 94 and 87, followed by Al and Anne Huls with a 90 on Saturday and 95 on Sunday for a total of 185 and Paul and Christine Henning of Kitimat with a total of 191 based on scores of 99 and 92. Low net for the flight went to Gordon and Jean Eby, whose score of 182 resulted in a net of 140, second low net went to Andrew and Carol Schaeffer with a net of 143 and a score of 187 and Wayne and Sharon Adams took third with a net of 148.
In the C flight, low gross went to Andy and Edith
Grobins, who shot 96 and 95 for a total of 201, second low gross went to Denver Marraty and Andrea Ciccone with a total of 201 based on 104 on Saturday and 97 on Sunday, and third low gross went to Glen and Lynn Hauptman with scores of 96 and 109 for a total of 205. Low net in the flight went to Wayne and Bev Epp
with a net of 144, followed by Rod and Dawn Szydlik with a net of 149 and Bob and Bonnnie Wekel with a net of 155.
