Port Edward will have two new faces around the council table for the next four years, but Dave MacDonald will be returning as mayor.

MacDonald received 191 votes compared to 64 ballots cast for Alice Kruta, giving MacDonald another term with 74.9 per cent of the popular vote.

“I’m quite happy to be back in and I thank all the candidates who ran because it takes a lot out of your personal life,” said MacDonald, who will begin his third consecutive term as mayor of Port Edward next month.

MacDonald will be leading a council that

is a mix of incumbents and new councillors. Incumbent Dan Franzen received the most votes with 152, followed by former councillor James Brown with 143 votes, newcomer Grant Moore with 140 votes and incumbent Christine MacKenzie with 122 votes.

The results leave incumbent and

longtime councillor Murray Kristoff and incumbent Knut Bjorndal without a seat after they received 116 votes and 108 votes respectively. Challengers Ed Day and Clayton Vanier received 73 votes and 51 votes respectively.

“I want to thank Murray and Knut for their service as councillors for the District of Port Edward and I am looking forward to the first meeting with the new council,” said MacDonald.

While there was no election in 2011, with all members of council being acclaimed to their positions, the 255 votes cast in this year’s election is up from 2008. At the end of that campaign a total of 232 residents cast their ballots, signifying an increase of 23 votes.

The unofficial results of the 2014 Prince Rupert municipal election are in and Lee Brain has been elected Mayor by a landslide.

Brain collected 2,495 votes with incumbent Jack Mussallem second with 890 votes. Tony Briglio finished with 474 votes and Sheila Gordon-Payne finished with 411 votes, giving Brain 58 per cent of the popular vote.

Brain said that margin of victory took him by surprise, but he said he is more than ready to take on the role of mayor.

“I worked really hard, my team worked really hard and I think we ran a really high level campaign. We wanted to show the community that this is the type of leadership our generation has and that we are prepared to take over leadership of our community,” he said, pointing as well to three new faces on council.

“I think people want to see change in Prince Rupert and they overwhelmingly voted for that. Now it is time to roll our sleeves up and get to work for this community because we have some big challenges. I am ready to get to work on that on Monday morning.”

Elected councillors include Blair Mirau, who received the most votes with 2,915, incumbent Barry Cunningham who received 2,897, Wade Niesh who receives 2,119, Gurvinder Randhawa who received 2,053, Joy Thorkelson with 2,044 votes and Nelson Kinney with 1,995. The results leave incumbents Anna Ashley and Gina Garon and challenger Ray Pedersen without a seat on council.

Brain said he is looking forward to working with the mix of new and

experienced faces on council. “I think it’s perfect, I think it’s

exactly what Prince Rupert needs. There is a lot to be said about experience, but at the same time the community realizes experience doesn’t always translate into leadership,” he said.

“I have nothing but respect for my opponents, they all did their service for the community, but now the community wants something new. I think this council is going to really

come together and there is going to be a lot of energy ... I’m really excited about the future.”

Inside Passage ridership up


Ridership aboard BC Ferries is down between Prince Rupert and Skidegate, but more people have sailed the Inside Passage in 2014 than in 2013.

The number of passengers travelling between Prince Rupert and Skidegate dropped 15.96 per cent in October, falling from 2,550 last year to 2,143 this year, while so far in 2014 ridership on the route is down 7.27 per cent, falling from 28,409 to 26,344. Accompanying the drop in passengers is a decline in vehicle traffic, which fell 14.05 per cent year-over-year and 5.6 per cent through the first 10 months of 2014 compared to the same time period in 2013.

However, more people and vehicles have made the trip between Prince Rupert and Port Hardy this year than last. While the number of people riding the route in October fell from 1,936 last October to 1,895 this October, a decline of 2.12 per cent, overall ridership has climbed from 27,260 in the first 10 months of 2013 to 31,819 through the first 10 months of 2014, an increase of 16.72 per cent. While the number of riders was down, the number of vehicles was up by four this October compared to last and vehicle numbers so far this year are up 14.22 per cent, climbing from 8,402 last year to 9,597 this year.

Crews responded to a train derailment 75 kilometres west of Terrace on Nov. 15.

Train derails east of Prince RupertBY JOSH MASSEY PRINCE RUPERT / Black Press

CN Rail investigators and the Transportation Safety Board are probing why a train derailed near Prince Rupert last Saturday early in the morning.

Twenty-six intermodal rail cars on a westbound CN intermodal train derailed and the second wheels on the second locomotive also derailed just after 7 a.m. on Nov. 15, about 50

kilometres east of Prince Rupert, said CN Rail spokesperson Emily Hamer, regional manager CN public and government affairs B.C.

“There were no injuries and no dangerous goods involved,” she said, adding that the locomotive remained upright and the rail cars were carrying lumber, distiller grain, pulp and rolls of paper.

The derailment only caused a minimal disruption to operations, said Hamer.

The tracks had been cleared by crews and the line reopened at 7 a.m. on Nov. 16, she added.

The Transportation Safety Board (TSB) of Canada announced Saturday it was sending a team of investigators to the derailment site.

“We will be doing a full investigation into this that will involve a final report that’ll take some time to generate,” said Chris Krepski, TSB spokesperson.

“We’re still at the data gathering stage.”

The people of Prince Rupert have spoken and their message was simple: We want change.

Heading into Saturday’s municipal election, there was a lot of buzz on the street about Lee Brain. The youngest and most inexperienced of the three candidates seeking election to the highest position in the city had a strong support base after running a campaign centred around bringing a

new energy and new ideas to city hall. Through social media, Brain was able to directly speak to and with the electorate in a way no other candidate has before — ask a question and get an answer from the man himself.

And yet, despite his energy and promise of change, there were those who questioned whether Prince Rupert was

ready for a mayor who had not previously been involved in municipal government in any way, shape or form.

The answer was not only yes, but an overwhelming yes. To call it a landslide would be an understatement — Brain didn’t so much as defeat the other candidates as crush them at the polls. If one were to add together every vote received by Jack Mussallem, Tony Briglio and Sheila Gordon-Payne, Brain would have still won by more than 700 votes, a number that would be considered a landslide on its own.

People may have been projecting a win for Brain, but you would be hard-pressed to find too many people who projected this magnitude of a win.

Brain now joins a council composed largely of politicians who are just dipping their toes into the pool of municipal government. Aside from Nelson Kinney and Joy Thorkelson, no candidate has more than 13 months experience on the job, including three councillors who have never been elected before. Gone are incumbents Anna Ashley and Gina Garon, voted out after two terms of solid performance at the table. Of the seven people in chambers, four are completely new.

The people of Prince Rupert wanted change and they got it. Now to see if the change at the ballot box translates into a new direction at city hall.

After all, saying something and doing something are two very different things.

A new day in Prince Rupert

The champagne bottles are in the recycling bin, the balloons have been popped and the confetti has been swept from the floor.

Prince Rupert has spoken. The old way of doing business is exactly that, the old way.

Now it’s time to get down to the task of fixing and preparing the City of Prince Rupert for what the voters obviously want. Prince Rupert voters told the old council in no uncertain terms that things needed to change. Prince Rupert wants to grow.

While Lee Brain captured 58 per cent of the mayoral votes in a four-way battle, what was even more convincing was the emergence of Blair Mirau.

Mirau collected the most votes of any candidate with 2,915 while newcomer incumbent Barry Cunningham — who just hit council after a byelection less than a year ago — received 2,897. Brain collected 2,495. Wade Niesh and Gurvinder Randhawa captured 2,119 and 2,053 respectively.

In each of these cases, their elections can be called a landslide.Only incumbents Joy Thorkelson and Nelson Kinney

managed to crawl over the bar to retain their positions.In what may seem to be the second most surprising outcome

of the night was the ousting of Anna Ashley. Most armchair pollsters had Ashley as a comfortable lock to retain her seat.

But again, Prince Rupert wanted and signaled change and Ashley found herself on the outside looking in. To her credit, however, I doubt this will be the last we see or hear of Anna and, while a victim of the change movement, Prince Rupert will be better off with her input from time-to-time. I’m certain she will find another role in which to continue her service to this

community.Despite Ashley’s departure, the stunner of the

night came from Port Edward.Longtime councillor Murray Kristoff was

ousted from around the Port Edward council table. Kristoff’s narrow ouster by six votes notwithstanding, the overwhelming return of Dave MacDonald as mayor showed that Port Edward voters, for the most part, believe that the District of Port Edward is on track.

In Prince Rupert, the voters, most decidedly said the City of Prince Rupert was not on the right track.

A lack of transparency, corporate and political antagonism, as well as, seemingly intransigent

positions all led to the election of Brain, Mirau, Niesh, Randhawa and Cunningham.

A lesson mayor-elect Brain and council should keep in mind as they move forward with the business of this city.

Growth of the tax base and cooperation without capitulation with industry and related business is absolutely key to repairing the damage of years of skyrocketing public and business tax rates, disintegrating services and infrastructure.

Growing the tax base is certainly Job 1a, but if there is a 1b, it is regaining the trust of the community. Years of in-camera sessions and intransigence to forward personal or political agendas that are not in the true best interest of the city needs to come to an end.

Thank you to all who put their names forward to run. Congratulations to all of those who were elected.

But now the party is over — it’s time to get to work.

The message is clear, time to get to work Shaun Thomas

Local volunteers care for salmon populationThe Prince Rupert

Salmon Enhance-ment Society

(PRSES) is a non-profit organization responsible for operating the Oldfield Creek Fish Hatch-ery. The PRSES follows a set of community-oriented objectives, with the primary goal of increasing salmon populations in local streams through science-based enhancement efforts.

This is done each year through the collection, fertilization and hatch-ing of tens of thousands of salmon eggs from four distinct salmon-bar-ing streams: Oldfield, Hays, Diana and Silver Creeks.

Each year, the PRSES’s modest volunteer group undertakes this great effort beginning in autumn with brood stock collection.

Using nets and fishing rods, adult spawning salmon are caught and their eggs and milt are collected. The eggs are brought back to the Old-field Creek Fish Hatchery where they’re carefully incubated and moni-tored before hatching into baby salmon called “fry.”

Depending on the species and stream they’re from, these tiny fish are transferred into one of eight large tanks where they are cared for during the winter and spring months by PRSES volunteers.

In addition to the hands-on work with the local salmon stocks, the PRSES is also involved in creating community awareness of the im-portance of keeping our local streams clean and healthy through our everyday actions.

One of the ways this is achieved is through the Salmon Education and Stewardship Centre, an extension of the Hatchery that consists of interpretive galleries, a classroom and wet and dry labs where visitors can experience the life cycle of local salmon first-hand.

With contributions from the Prince Rupert Port Authority’s Com-munity Investment Fund, PRSES was able to complete the Education Centre and modernize the Hatchery to enable greater involvement from both residents and tourists interested in fostering healthy Pacific salmon stocks.

Whether through financial support or hands-on volunteer efforts of its staff, the Prince Rupert Port Authority works alongside PRSES to protect and restore the integrity of local salmon stocks and habitats.

Habitat stewardship is a key component of the Port Authority’s 2020 Environmental Sustainability Plan.

Through numerous initiatives and programs launched in recent years, the Port Authority is gathering information about environmental conditions in the area and learning how to best preserve them through responsible development.

Partnerships with like-minded organizations in the community are supporting valuable work being done in areas such as ecological preser-vation and habitat conservation.

New initiatives and partnerships in the community will take the Port Authority even further beyond its mandated requirements and regula-tions.

Speak out against Bill C13Editor: This month we remembered the fallen

soldiers of years ago who fought for our country so that we may live a free and prosperous life. All gave some but some gave all.

Lately Canada is looking more and more like a police state. Peter MacKay’s Online Spying Bill C13 will enable the RCMP, CSIS, and CSEC to monitor private Canadians lives without any real oversight. They will be able to spy on innocent Canadians without warrants, without them knowing about it, giving immunity to telecom companies who hand over information, leaving victims unable to sue and not even knowing they are being spied on.

Vic Toews’ C13 was abandoned after Canadians spoke out. Bill C13 has only a couple pages on cyberbullying. Bill C13 is more about openly spying than cyberbullying. Bill C13 encourages unconstitutional behaviour and the Supreme Court just ruled that warrantless government requests for private information is unconstitutional. If this bill is passed it will cost taxpayers millions to

defend in court which is wasted money. The Conservatives oppose the Bill 62 per cent to 24 per cent.

It is also highly unpopular with the majority of Canadians.

Privacy is essential in a healthy democracy. Bill C13 will eliminate privacy all together. This bill was rammed through with a short debate. I hope John Duncan opposes Bill C13 too. Privacy is about controlling your own affairs lawfully. It’s not about the “if you’re not doing anything wrong what’s to worry about?” cliche.

So if Canada keeps going in the direction it’s going, we can deductively reason that WWI and WWII were fought in vain.

Cost saving for BC FerriesEditor’s note: The following was received as

time trying to figure out ways to save money.

Please, let me help you.1. You are not a cruise ship line. You are

a bus.2. You are not a travel agency. You are the

travel method.3. You do not need to advertise. You are the

ONLY alternative.So, with these three things in mind, please

consider the following: You need a news stand, not a gift shop. You need a cafeteria, not a restaurant.

You don’t need slot machines, you need good WiFi and some big screen TVs.

You don’t need a “marketing department”, you need a full on Social Media and Customers Service department.

You don’t need a fancy travel office or vacation planning department, you need a

plan to keep the actual travel agents informed of what is happening with your ferry service.

I shouldn’t see the BC Ferries logo on the boards at Rogers Arena during a Canucks game, or on a TV commercial.

Believe it or not, people really are smart enough to figure out that if there isn’t a bridge or a tunnel to the islands, then they will have to take a ferry or a plane. ... and you can’t get your car into your carry on luggage.

See. I just saved you millions upon millions of dollars.

Those unable to attend the Remembrance Day ceremony in Prince Rupert at 11 a.m on. Nov. 11 may have the opportunity to honour Canada’s veterans much earlier at a ceremony in Port Edward next year.

The district has held a ceremony at its memorial wall at 10 a.m. In years past to allow people to make the trip to Prince Rupert for the larger ceremony, but council and the RCMP are in discussions to move the Port Edward event to 9 a.m.

This year, at the request of the RCMP, the ceremony was pushed back to 9:30 a.m., which in part resulted in 10 officers attending. But now the RCMP have requested the ceremony be pushed back another half

hour.“We had a suggestion from the

mounties to start at 9 a.m. so they have some time to visit with the people of Port Edward afterwards. They said they felt rushed to get back to Prince Rupert and didn’t feel they had time to talk with residents,” explained Mayor Dave MacDonald.

The idea of moving Remembrance Day activities back an hour found

support among councillors at the Nov. 12 meeting of council.

“This gives us the opportunity to talk to people because most people just go right into town,” said Coun. Knut Bjorndal.

There were five wreaths laid during the Remembrance Day ceremony in Port Edward this year, with MacDonald also laying a wreath on behalf of the district at the event in Prince Rupert.


One million Skeena Salmon go

to waste

An estimated $20 million dollars was lost to Prince Rupert and village families this year as a result of closing

the ocean fi shery on sockeye salmon. One million fi sh too many, about one third of the

valuable run, was allowed up to Babine Lake and closed out of the already full spawning beds.

It is heart breaking for our commercial fi shermen to see those salmon going to waste when they were here and ready to catch them.

It was near the end of the season, the south coast boats had left for the Fraser sockeye run and most of the millions of dollars lost would have gone to local boats, local families, and local businesses.

Recent DFO policies including a move to upriver fi shing are promoted by steelhead sports fi shermen. Their strong lobby helped put in new policies but they did not signifi cantly increase the value of the Skeena sports fi shery which has remained fairly constant at $15-17 million annually for marine and fresh combined. The much more valuable ocean commercial fi shery and processing industry however, lost many millions.

The new upriver fi sheries cannot possibly offset the losses to the ocean commercial fi shery either. “Sockeye caught in marine fi sheries are signifi cantly more valuable than sockeye caught in terminal or near-terminal fi sheries.”-Justice Cohen

The Cohen Commission which looked into the Fraser “missing sockeye” also looked at these controversial new policies. He heard from groups who supported a move to upriver fi sheries “as a potential benefi t to inland Aboriginal communities”. He also heard from coastal aboriginal groups who testifi ed “that a move to terminal fi sheries would confl ict with the historical and current reliance on the resource by coastal Aboriginal communities.”

His conclusion: “I fi nd that DFO has not done the work necessary to assess or quantify the actual conservation benefi ts that can be expected from a shift to harvesting in-river or in terminal areas. In addition, the evidence of the economic viability of in-river or terminal fi sheries is limited and not on the whole encouraging. I therefore conclude that DFO should proceed cautiously before it devotes additional resources to support in-river demonstration fi sheries.”

The Wild Salmon Policy allows for local input into Skeena fi sheries management. This year’s shockingly huge fi nancial loss to the region, not to mention the tragic loss of nutritious food, may spur Prince Rupert business people to get involved in the decision making process.

Gitxaala, Haida join “Pull Together”BY SHAUN THOMAS PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

North Coast First Nations are finding strong support for their legal challenges to the Enbridge Northern Gateway, with four nations benefitting from a grassroots fundraising campaign.

On Nov. 13 the Haida Nation joined the Gitxaala Nation, Heiltsuk Nation and Kitasoo Nation in the Pull Together campaign, which has so far raised more than $200,000 in four months.

“The Pull Together campaign is driven by people who care and are politically astute,” said kil tlaats ‘gaa, Peter Lantin,

President of the Haida Nation. “They can see how the future of the

country is shaping up and want to be part of it.”

The four nations join the Nadleh Whut’en and Nak’azdli Nations as part of the campaign, which was started by community groups in Northern B.C. and is managed by the Sierra Club of B.C. Pull Together has been so successful that organizers have increased their fundraising goal from $250,000 by the end of the year to $300,000, and the Sierra Club noted all monies raised “are being matched by an anonymous donor”.

“British Columbians do not want First Nations to stand alone against Enbridge and they’re demonstrating this with passion, creativity and their wallets,”” said Sierra Club BC campaigns director Caitlyn Vernon.

PRDTU head upset by lack of support

BY MARTINA PERRY PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

The head of the Prince Rupert District Teachers Union says the Prince Rupert School District (SD52) should have shown solidarity with other boards of education in B.C.

Kathy Murphy, president of the Prince Rupert District Teachers Union, was disappointed SD52’s board of education did not write a letter in support of other B.C. school districts that are concerned their teachers will not be paid for an eighth day in September as promised.

The North Okanagan-Shuswap, Coquitlam and Revelstoke boards of education sent letters to B.C. Minister of Education Peter Fassbender and Minister of Finance Michael de Jong in October regarding concerns that some teachers will be paid less for their work in the month of September. After a return to work agreement had been reached, the provincial government said it would pay teachers for a full day of work to get schools ready for students on Sept. 19.

The North Okanagan-Shuswap board of education stated it paid teachers for the seven days they taught in September, and for a full day on Sept. 19. However, due to provisions in its collective agreement its teachers are being paid less than others around the district.

“The funding allocations that the Ministry of Education

provides to school districts does not differentiate between the local provisions of a collective agreement. However, the Ministry of Education is now going to differentiate how it recovers funds from school districts for strike savings. This is inequitable and unfair,” reads the letter signed by Bobbi Johnson, board chair of SD83.

Language in the Coquitlam school district’s contract also resulted in only seven days pay for teachers, with the board of education also sending a letter to Fassbender.

Furthermore, the British Columbia School Trustees Association sent a letter to both ministers encouraging the provincial government to “honour its commitment against the ill will and negative impact of not funding”.

“In the interest of provincial harmony we urge you to fully and equitably fund the eight days of teacher work for all boards of education,” reads the letter signed by Teresa Rezansoff, president of the BCSTA.

Murphy was disappointed the district chose to receive and file the letters instead of sending a letter supporting its fellow board of education.

“The more people that write to say that the ministry needs to support and fund this, the better,” she said.

Board members agreed they had made an oversight, but were unable to address the topic because of Robert’s Rule of Order.

Electronic cigarettes have joined tobacco products on the list of forbidden items in the Prince Rupert School District.

While the use of e-cigarettes wasn’t technically permitted at any point in time, School District 52 (SD52) didn’t have any policies or regulations in place on nicotine-delivering vapour products until recently.

Superintendent Sandra Jones said the decision was made as a precautionary measure.

“It certainly has been an issue in other school districts, so we are trying to keep ahead,” Jones said.

“We haven’t had any complaints about them (in Prince Rupert).”

Shortly after SD52’s decision, Northern Health issued letters to superintendents across the north encouraging a prohibition of electronic cigarettes and other inhalible vapour products on school property.

“We are really working to express our concerns about the safety of

these products, and the impacts they have on children and youth starting to use tobacco products as a consequence of using the electronic cigarettes,” Kelsey Yarmish, region manager of Northern Health’s population health program, said.

There isn’t enough evidence to

determine whether e-cigarettes are any less harmful than tobacco products such as cigarettes or cigarillos, according to Yarmish.

“We don’t know enough about them to make a statement one way or another about their safety,” she said.

The use of electronic cigarettes is now banned on school property throughout the district.

District take pro-active step

Highway gravel pit green lit

BY SHAUN THOMASPORT EDWARD / The Northern View

The District of Port Edward has granted a temporary permit to a company looking to develop a gravel pit, but the permit is not without restrictions.

Council voted to approve the rezoning of a parcel of land on the southeast side of Highway 16 near Prudhomme Lake from Tourist Commercial to Light Industrial for use in gravel extraction and a potential laydown and storage area in the years ahead.

But given the proximity of the site to the Prudhomme Lake provincial campground, the permit only allows for drilling, blasting and crushing to take place between the hours of 8 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday to Friday between May 10 and Sept. 20. As well, the company will be required to construct a berm next to the highway to both limit the amount of noise from operations and visual impact.

According to chief administrative officer Ron Bedard, there is an opportunity for the permit to be extended for longer-term use.

“This permit is for a three year period, but the company could come in and apply for another three years. That would be up to the future council to decide,” he said, noting the length of use could also be shortened.

“If after two years the owner doesn’t want the permit, he could come in and ask for it to be rezoned, at which point the conditions would be taken off of the title.”

Salvation Army turns to hiring for Kettle campaign


Five people have been hired as kettle workers for the Prince Rupert Salvation Army’s 2014 Christmas Kettle Campaign in December.

While in past years the Salvation Army relied on volunteers to host the kettles, Capt. Gary Sheils said there hasn’t been enough people stepping forward in recent years.

“The last few years before 2013 we had a really difficult time getting volunteers to man the kettles,” he said, noting there were only enough volunteers to cover half of the collection shifts in 2012.

“I decided last year that we would hire enough kettle workers to have three kettles out on the days we wanted them to be.”

Last year, $20,000 was collected during Prince Rupert’s campaign, along with $140,000 through the organization’s annual holiday mail operation.

“Christmas costs us about $100,000,” Sheils explained.

“Everything we raise in December

goes to our work for the full year,” he added, noting the Prince Rupert Salvation Army requires approximately $300,000 for its food budget each year.

While the Salvation Army will have to pay the five individuals it hired for this year’s campaign with its own resources, Sheils said it’s important to have people out with the kettles to help boost the Salvation Army’s visibility and to raise awareness.

In Prince Rupert, the Christmas Kettle Campaign will officially kick off during the Winterfest Festival of Lights on the evening of Dec. 5. Kettle hosts will be collecting outside businesses on 15 days throughout December.

Any individuals or groups wanting to collect donations for the campaign are encouraged to contact Capt. Gary Sheils at 250-624-6180.

INTERNATIONAL INTERNATIONAL REMEMBRANCEREMEMBRANCE

BY KEVIN CAMPBELLPRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

He’s worked in Canada, India, Africa, the United States and Costa Rica.

He grew up in St. Thomas, Ontario, a smaller city close to London, and has resided throughout Ontario in Guelph, and Petawawa as well as in Selkirk and Thompson, Manitoba (known as the “Hub of the North, located 740 kilometres north of Winnipeg) and Vancouver, among other places.

And through his travels, it was a small, coastal city known as Prince Rupert that five years ago drew the eye of Rev. Dr. ‘Pastor Dave’ Stirling — a man of innumerable gifts and talents — and it brought him to the North Coast.

“I’ve always wanted to be involved in communities that are really going to grow and develop,” he said last week.

“I really like history and one of the things that’s a passion of mine is to realize the importance of the west coast – not that others haven’t – but many explorers have been along the coast, so even before Charles Hays found Prince Rupert, First Nations had identified the significance of this location.”

Pastor Dave, as he’s well-known in the community, is the co-pastor at the Bethel First Baptist Church, but his involvement and reach goes far beyond the walls of the church.

Dave’s extensive history in academia, business, medicine, sports, spirituality and children’s development has enabled the North Coast resident to have a unique perspective on some of the issues facing Prince Rupert as a burgeoning city.

Currently, Dave serves as the fire-rescue chaplain in the city, has formerly been the Prince Rupert RCMP’s chaplain and has been on the Community Enrichment Society executive board along with the Hecate Strait Employment Development Society.

The list of organizations outside the boundaries of the city David’s been involved with ... well that’s another matter.

A former Canadian Forces member as a second Canadian guard in Petawawa, former Canadian Football League (CFL) prospect with the Montreal Alouettes as a

defensive half-back, amateur diver, board member and professor and chairman of undergraduate programs at Simon Fraser University, academic dean at Trinity Western University, board member of the Langley Memorial Hospital Board, professional speaker and business consultant, ‘Pastor Dave’ uses his faith as a vehicle to help others “be the very best they can be, regardless of gift or talent”.

Dave was even part of the team that sold the word-prediction typing tool to Google, an innovation that came out of a developmentally-disabled children’s literacy program he helped develop.

“With all of these things, my biggest passion is ministry. Working with people – helping all of the children [in the community] to never say no, to be able to continue on when things don’t seem possible,” said David.

Husband to Candace Stirling, David met his wife at Hamilton’s McMaster University while overseeing some of the facilities in the summertime.

“I had a chance to run all of the conference facilities and she was part of an organization that had rented them so I was dealing with her at that level,” he said, joking that they both took to compromising on some of the demands Candace’s organization wanted out of the conference venue on David’s watch.

Together, the two have four grown children — Andrew, Graeme, Katharine and Martha — and a few grandchildren. Beyond their immediate family, David and Candace have fostered an astounding 331 foster children.

“I’ve always been involved in pastoral ministry, even as an undergraduate at Guelph, I was always involved in that. Part of the avenue [I took to Prince Rupert] may have been developmental disabilities. Being able to work with children and their families to create opportunity for them ... I’d like to still be involved at a level where they can be getting job opportunities. It has to be very specific and the skills have to be well-developed but the pathway could be created,” he said, adding that the church has opened up a child growth and development centre to help families and friends with area children’s disabilities.

In his work as fire-rescue chaplain, Dave

has been surprised by the number of critical incidents that he’s helped support the RCMP and fire department with for such a small town, but adds that he couldn’t have asked to work with better people.

“We are really blessed here in Prince Rupert. We have just excellent, excellent first responders ... I’ve seen detachments in different locations and not that one is better than the other but the people that are here in service are first class plus, and the community – I’m sure they’re appreciative,” he said.

While Dave is a pastor at Bethel First Baptist, he says sometimes with those working in ministry, people can get the wrong idea - that he may have a singular focus on the religiosity aspect as chaplain.

“Very often, what’s not really well-understood is the difference between say, Christianity and religiosity. What the chaplain deals with, it’s an interdisciplinary practice. So I happen to be a pastor and minister of a Baptist church. That’s not an agenda. So as a result it’s all about spiritual formation.

“When you look at a nurse or doctor, they need to practice in five domains:

the physical, the social side, there’s an emotional side to medial practice, there’s a cognitive side and there’s a spiritual side,” said Dave.

Through his consultations with numerous business companies (David himself used to be a hotel owner), Pastor Dave has learned that the socioeconomic problems facing Prince Rupert can’t be solved by a single cure-all solution but by looking at three facets of bringing large industry to Prince Rupert.

“The satisfaction from Rupert is not going to come [strictly] from LNG,” he said.

“When you talk about sustainable community development, sure we’ve got to extract the natural gas and we need to do it well and refine it .... second is environmental sustainability. [Dr. Barb Faggetter] has been hired by the city to take a look at what the environmental impact will be. If it’s negative, the question is how negative. The third piece which isn’t even on the radar at this point is the human capital side – what impact the industry will have on the community,” he said.

“The answers aren’t in any one profession or one company or in any one enterprise ... We’re going to have multiple disciplines here. We’re going to have engineers and social scientists looking at what the issues are in the community. We’re going to have people in finance and those elements related to business.

“It’s that sustainable community development model and that fantastic community that brought me here,” he said.

Concert to help improve Lester Centre


Prince Rupert musicians will pay tribute to their inspirations and influences during a benefit concert for the Lester Centre of the Arts later this month.

Crystal Lorette, Lester Centre of the Arts general manager, said the Completely Plugged Inspired concert will exhibit what inspires the performing musicians to play an instrument or sing from the depths of their souls.

More than 25 Prince Rupert artists will take the stage in 10 acts, playing songs by the musicians and groups that sparked their passion for music and love of performing.

The show’s line up consists of Dixie Dead Shake, Aja and Jeff, Silver Shadow, Ray and Cynthia, Triple Bypass, Replica, Ian, Gordie, Ronnie and Friends, Ol’ Dog, Mermaid Cafe and Nobody Told Rachel.

“You do not want to miss this rare opportunity to hear everything from AC/DC to the Dixie Chicks all in one spectacular event,” Lorette said.

“It’s going to be a great show.”All proceeds will go toward

upgrading technical equipment at the performing arts centre, with organizers hoping the event raises enough to purchase a new digital public address system. The facility also needs to regularly replace cables, monitors, speakers, equalizers and lighting equipment.

“All of the funds will go right back into the theatre,” Lorette said.

“Everybody wins. You get to hear good music and have a great time, and hopefully we get to upgrade a few of the things on our wish list.”

The Completely Plugged Inspired concert is taking place on Saturday, Nov. 29 at 8 p.m. Tickets are available at the Lester Centre of the Arts.

Lorette said there was so much interest from musicians wanting to be in the show that the centre will likely organize another Completely Plugged concert in the spring.

JAPEX constructing LNG import terminal

BY SHAUN THOMAS SHINCHI TOWN / The Northern View

There may not yet be a decision from Pacific NorthWest LNG regarding its planned terminal on Lelu Island, but one of the company’s partners took a major step to prepare to accept liquefied natural gas from B.C.

JAPEX, which owns a 10 per

cent interest in the terminal, began construction on the Soma LNG terminal in Shinchi Town, Fukushima Prefecture on Japan’s west coast on Nov. 13. In a media release, JAPEX said the 1.2 million tonnes of LNG per year from Pacific NorthWest LNG would serve as “one of the LNG sources to be received at the Soma LNG receiving terminal”. JAPEX expects its

terminal to begin operations in March, 2018, while Pacific NorthWest LNG is proposing to begin operations in 2019.

The total investment for the terminal is 60 billion yen, equivalent to $589,312,905 CDN.

As well as the terminal, JAPEX is planning to construct a natural gas pipeline to connect the terminal to its main network.

A new initiative to assist blossoming North Coast entrepreneurs will be unveiled at an event in Prince Rupert later this month.

ThriveNorth, an entrepreneur initiative aiming to empower young Northwest business people, is hosting a launch event in Prince Rupert on Friday, Nov. 21.

Founded through a partnership with Futurpreneur Canada and BG Canada, ThriveNorth will provide people between the ages of 18 and 39 with the resources, funding and mentorship to start their own businesses.

“This is our official partnership launch,” Joanne Norris, project manager of Futurpreneur, said.

“We’ll be talking about our partnership, what we’re doing and why we’re doing it, what it entails.”

Representatives from both Futurpreneur Canada and BG Canada will speak about what ThriveNorth will mean for Prince Rupert at the event, with information also being provided on the ThriveNorth business challenge, a contest that will allow young business people to share their entrepreneurial ideas

for a chance to win a $10,000 prize.

“We think it’s the first time an event such as this has been focused on the Northwest region of B.C. We’re really excited about getting that going,” Norris said.

Lisa Mueller has been hired as the ThriveNorth community business development coordinator for Prince Rupert, being the key contact for young entrepreneurs needing support and guidance.

The launch for ThriveNorth will take place at the North Coast Meeting and Convention Centre in Prince Rupert on Nov. 21 between 4 and 6 p.m.

The event is open to the public, with Norris encouraging people, particularly those with entrepreneur aspirations, to attend, along with Prince Rupert business owners, community service groups, educational providers and community leaders.

They knew their opponents would be a major hurdle to clear, those Charles Hays Rainmakers.

As Terrace’s Caledonia (CAL) senior girls’ volleyball Kermodes walked into the gymnasium on Saturday afternoon, the ’Makers prepared to face off against the AAA provincially-ranked seventh Kermodes – reputably the toughest team in the Northwest.

And the Kermodes wasted little time getting down to business against the Rainmakers (CHSS), who fought valiantly, but fell in a best-of-five match CAL-CHSS: 25-14, 25-12, 25-13 in the Northwest AAA senior girls zones championship.

“I think we played really good. Way better than when we started the season off and we stuck together no matter what the score was, so it was good overall,” said CHSS team captain Tanveen Randhawa after the game.

Randhawa and Suttira Johansen had some of the squad’s best service game on the day as Johansen’s jump serve found its mark more times than not.

Jenny Huynh’s no quit on the ball showed on many occasions as the tread marks on her jersey would attest and Ashtyn Andreesen and Morgan Weir provided steady leadership on the front row in the attack zone.

The smaller Henzle Masocol played larger than her frame would suggest as her spikes gained the Rainmakers a few points here and there, but the Kermodes’ power and speed were extremely hard to stop.

Caledonia’s Brooklynn Fekete’s accuracy on her serve was lethal, as was Carly Davies and Cassidy Kitchen in the attack zone, whose tall statures and teamwork had the ‘Makers reeling as the match wore on.

“I think it was their deep serves, their hard serves that caught us off guard,” said Randhawa.

“We couldn’t get the pass up so we couldn’t get hits over but yeah, they had really good hits and they covered well.”

It was the defensive zone where the Kermodes preyed on the ‘Makers, as Charlotte Kobza and Tanveen Sadhra led the charge on the back end on the team’s rotating positional play.

The awarded all-stars on Saturday went to Caledonia’s Kitchen, Khali Pelletier and Preet Bath.

For the Rainmakers, Johansen, Randhawa and Weir took the honours.

Davies took tournament MVP, as it seemed there wasn’t a spike, block or pass she couldn’t pull off the entire day, and whose service game was imposing and deadly.

Despite the loss, Randhawa said the group came such a long way from even before the school season started

until zones.“We got really close together. Our passes got a lot

better and our hits and serves improved,” she added.“You can sure tell [Terrace] puts a lot of time into

practicing during the season and the fact that they have a club system that allows them to play all year is very evident,” said Rainmakers coach Jacqueline Jackson.

“I am proud of the CHSS team for, as the cliche goes, “leaving it all on the court”. Our cheer has been “SAMA” all season which is, in a loose translation, Tagalog for unity or togetherness ... One of our goals this season was, no matter what, to stay together and work hard for each other. I think we proved that this season,” said Jackson.

The Kermodes will now advance to provincials in Parksville.

Meanwhile, the CHSS Rainmakers junior girls volleyball squad competed in the ‘B’ zone finals in Hazelton on the weekend and secured four straight wins, including the zones championship versus Hazelton.

With three straight game wins, the junior girls captured

the finals and brought home the ‘B’ championship.Jackson and the team wanted to thank all the fans

who made it to the senior boys’ game two weeks ago and the senior girls’ game last week.

“It’s so nice to see the fans returning to volleyball. With volleyball being such a momentum sport, the energy that a loud crowd can bring is priceless,” she said.

In terms of next year’s crop, Jackson is optimistic for a bright future.

“With so many Grade 11 players along with our Grade 10 setter next year, we look forward to a strong season of growth. We’ll continue in the spring with developmental camps so that we can be more confident on the court when our play takes us around the zone to Prince George and Hawaii for a Thanksgiving tournament,” she said.

Jackson also thanked sponsor teacher Brian Cameron for his tireless work on social media, keeping everyone in the department and friends and family updated.

Fixing up Patullo Field is one of Prince Rupert’s Youth Soccer’s (PRYSA) main priorities that came out of its Nov. 13 annual general meeting (AGM).

The organization helped the Charles Hays field along to its currently healthy state, but would like to continue with other fields in the city and Patullo, beside the civic centre, is next on their list to tackle and fix up.

“We’re continuing to explore improving Patullo,” said PRYSA president Mike Cavin last weekend.

“We’re trying to do a field at a time.”All executive board members will

be returning to their positions in 2015; that’s Cavin as president, Leigh-Anne Magnusson as vice-president, Tristan Higginson as treasurer and Amy Rabel as secretary.

Coaching was another topic on the docket. Continuing on from 2014’s early-season coaching clinics, Cavin said the club will again host more sessions to help new and existing coaches learn the ropes and even take in some more advanced tactics or the older under-15 levels of teams.

“We were very happy with last season. We had 20 under-six and under-eight attend a clinic and then we had 12 under-10 and under-12 coaches attend another one so we were really pleased with that and we want to continue with the ongoing coaching education,” said Cavin.

“A great time to start [coaching] is when your child starts so in the under-six division, it’s a fun thing to do with them and then of course you can move through with your child [up the age divisions].”

The club hopes to utilize Charles Hays more on the weekends as a field option in the beginning of the season in the Spring time, since most teams are playing on gravel fields at that point.

Enrolment for the 2014 year included

approximately 600 players, a figure that improved upon 2013, and Cavin said the association is financially healthy.

For the select teams, the president hopes to see some Prince George teams come west and meet some of Prince Rupert’s teams at a midway point, and he mentioned Smithers as an ideal location to get in some matches against tough opponents.

The club will also hope to return to

Kamloops for the Slurpee Cup among other destination tournaments.

The PRYSA is always looking for coaches and volunteers and anyone looking to get involved can contact Cavin and the board of directors through PRYSA’s website at www.pryouthsoccer.com.

“We’re looking for a field scheduler and a referee scheduler as well,” said Cavin.

The Calgary Cascade Speed Meet welcomed participants from all over the province of B.C. and Alberta and Rupertite Sarah McChesney led the way for Thompson Rivers University (TRU), scoring a bronze medal and earning a personal best while at it.

“[Having] best times this early in the season is something that doesn’t normally happen, but I’ll take it,” she said last week in an email from TRU.

The famed swimmer grabbed third-place in the women’s 200 freestyle event with a personal best time of 2:09.38 in the finals.

“Before the final, I knew I was going in fifth and I just kept telling myself ‘If you move up two spots, you get a medal’,” she explained.

“I work well under pressure and I really like to be nervous before I race.”

While she hung bronze around her soaked neck, McChesney also channeled the inner lucky Halloween swimmer inside her and wound up in number 13 in two categories. She finished 13th out of 25 competitors in the women’s 800 freestyle finals with a time of 9:48.78, and 13th out of 29 in the women’s 400 freestyle with 4:47.37.

“My first 100 I felt great. As I flipped for my last 50, I couldn’t tell exactly where I was so I just went. I put my head

down going into the flags and I looked up and saw the ‘3’ by my name. I was very excited,” she said.

McChesney then finished in seventh in the 50 freestyle with a time of 28.13.

“The 50 and 100 final are a lot more fun to swim than the 200 because you can go as fast as you can the whole time. I wasn’t really happy with my times but I got the opportunity to swim it again so I couldn’t complain,” she said.

The Cascade Speed Meet hosted 500 swimmers from 23 teams throughout Western Canada including the University of Alberta, the University of Lethbridge and the University of Calgary.

“This was an outstanding meet for our team at this particular phase in our training cycle,” McChesney’s team coach Brad Dalke told TRU Athletics after the meet.

“We had 100 per cent of the swims at the meet within three per cent of our swimmers’ lifetime best times.”

McChesney and the Wolfpack will now look to this weekend where they’ll compete at the Canada West Universities Athletic Association championships in Lethbridge from Friday to Sunday.

Disney’s ‘Frozen’ film has penetrated the Halloween scene and now it’s served as the latest themed jamboree that the Smithers Skating Club has hosted.

Four Prince Rupert skaters made the trek east, including Mickaela Ward, Becca Phillips, Amy McNabb and Holly Lowe as well as the coaching staff led by Prince Rupert Skating Club head coach Sheri Pringle.

“It was awesome. They did really well, it was a lot of fun,” said Pringle.

“Basically, it’s a team event so each child was put on different teams so they can be competing with kids on other communities and Team Purple won and Amy was on

that team.”McNabb’s victory and the jamboree

as a whole served as preparation for the 2014 Kla How Ya Interclub competition scheduled at the Jim Ciccone Civic Centre for Dec. 5 – 7.

“Everyone has new programs this year for the season so we normally start them in September so this is a good way for them to work out the quirks here and then they will compete for the Interclub,” said Pringle, adding that club registration is ongoing.

Under-17s in the cards for McChesneyBY KEVIN CAMPBELLLANGLEY / The Northern View

Four months after winning gold with the B.C. under-16 provincial basketball team, Justin McChesney has survived the first round of tryouts after attending the U17 Provincial Team SuperCamp last weekend in Langley.

The new age division, the oldest that

Basketball BC overlooks, attracts a large number of scouts every year at the national championships in the summer from Canada and the U.S.

This year, the under-17s were held in Edmonton in July and McChesney was in attendance as a member of the championship B.C. team who downed Manitoba in the tourney final.

Team Manitoba claimed the under-17

title, while B.C. took sixth-place. In years prior, Basketball BC held the

tryouts in April but recently moved them to November in order for the athletes to have more time to develop.

“A pool of athletes will be identified on that weekend and they will be invited to take part in additional training pool/evaluation sessions along with provincially targeted/identified athletes

during the 2014 Christmas break,” explained the Basketball BC website.

“Earlier team selection will also allow for enhanced team development and preparation time before taking part in Spring NCAA sanctioned events and tournaments,” the site continued.

Up next for the Rupertite will be the Basketball BC training and selection sessions at the end of the year.

“They did really well.”“They did really well.”

Second speech pathologist hiredBY MARTINA PERRY PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

A much-sought after second speech language pathologist is now working in School District 52 (SD52).

Chris Lightfoot was hired as the district’s second speech language pathologist position on Nov. 10, joining Katherine Crossley who started back in September. Both are working to prevent, assess, diagnose, treat and help children overcome challenges in communication.

“We’re very excited because it means we’re going to be able to give full service across all grades, which is something we have wanted very much for a long time,” Sandra Jones, superintendent of SD52, said.

In July of 2013, both of the district’s speech language pathologists resigned, with only one of the positions being filled in the 2013/14 school year. But come June 2014, another resignation left SD52 looking for two new recruitments.

“We have generally had difficulty filling both positions for a speech language pathologist,” Linda Hikida, district principal of student support

services, said.Hikida said when there has been

only one speech language pathologist working in schools, the concentration has been on early intervention services.

“This means that we provide the majority of services to the elementary schools with some consultative services to the middle and high school,” she said.

During the 2014/15 budget process the board of education decided to cut out $99,000 that was recommended to be set aside in case a second speech language pathologist was recruited. But Cam McIntyre, secretary-treasurer of SD52, said there’s a sufficient amount of surplus to cover costs for the current year.

“We have generally had “We have generally had diffi culty fi lling both diffi culty fi lling both

BY MARTINA PERRY METLAKATLA / The Northern View

Preparation work on the Village of Metlakatla’s new compact library is well underway, with excitement in the community growing as it awaits the opening.

The facility is being donated by the Write to Read Project, started by Steven Point, former-Lieutenant Governor of B.C., and his aide-de-camp, Bob Blacker, back in 2007 as a way to promote literacy in remote First Nations communities.

Once complete, Metlakatla’s library will be the 10th provided by the Write to Read Project in isolated communities throughout B.C., including Bella Bella where the group erected a modular library earlier this year to replace the community’s facility that mysteriously burned down.

“Since we started doing this, it’s been amazing seeing the transformation of the communities when they get their library,” Blacker, Write to Read project coordinator, said.

It was through Write to Read’s involvement with the creation of a library in Lax Kw’alaams’ soon-to-be constructed community school that the donation would come about.

Blacker and Cpl. Jennifer Collins of the RCMP North Team were working on the project together when Blacker informed Collins there was a compact library available. Collins, who work closely with the communities of Lax Kw’alaams and Metlakatla, said she immediately thought of Metlakatla.

“I told him that I thought it would be perfect for Metlakatla for a number of reasons. It’s a small building, there is no school in the village, the 29 school age children are taken on the ferry every day to school and I thought that the community would be receptive to it,” Collins said.

The library will be housed in an eight by 10 foot structure donated by Western Camera Buildings.

Affectionately dubbed the “Hobbit House”, the building has the capacity for 1,500 books, shelving and two computers available for community use.

The library was transported to Metlakatla from down south earlier this month, with two of Write to Read’s librarians travelling to the community last week to start organizing and setting up the library.

“Metlakatla is such a great community. When we were bringing the building into the community, it was really interesting to see people’s reaction,” said Blacker.

Blacker said plans are being arranged to hold an official opening ceremony for Metlakatla’s library in February.

The mobile library is lowered into place in Metlakatla.

Library arrives in MetlakatlaLibrary arrives in MetlakatlaNew mayors in Terrace, Kitimat


Prince Rupert wasn’t the only community in the Northwest to elect new municipal leadership as both neighbouring Kitimat and Terrace voted in first-time mayors during their 2014 races.

In Kitimat, current councillor Phil Germuth collected 1,828 votes to defeat challenger Trish Parsons, who received 530 votes, and incumbent Joanne Monoghan, who placed third in the race with 447 votes of her own.

Terrace, meanwhile, has elected its first female mayor as former councillor and BC Liberal candidate Carol Leclerc collected 1,456 votes to win the seat formerly held by Dave Pernaraowski. Bruce Bidgood, who was also running for mayor, received 969 votes.

“We are going to start the planning process right off the bat,” said Leclerc.

“I campaigned on being inclusive and to me it’s being inclusive with council. It’s not just what I think is important, it’s what all of council thinks is important. It depends on the new council and which way we are going to go together.”

Radiation testing begins

BY LAURA BISHOP TLELL / Haida Gwaii Observer

Islanders began collecting seawater samples this month as part of a University of Victoria radioactivity monitoring program that spans the B.C. coastline.

Sian Nalleweg and her daughter Megan Ives of Sandspit took their first sample from East Beach near Wiggins Road in Tlell on Nov. 8.

They’ve sent the sample to researchers working with the InFORM Network in Victoria, which aims to assess and communicate the environmental risks resulting from the Fukushima-Daiichi nuclear reactor accident.

The pair is among a core group of approximately 10 on-islands volunteers who will be taking water samples from two locations each month for the next three years, said associate professor and project researcher Jay Cullen.

Nalleweg said she and Megan heard about the project through the David Suzuki Foundation.

“The ocean is our backyard. We spend a lot of our time at the beach and we care about it a lot,” Nalleweg said.

“I’m curious to know about radiation myself and I knew we had some extra time and are capable, so we signed up.”

There are around 600 people province-wide who have volunteered to collect the 24 litre seawater samples from 14 different coastal locations.

Haida Gwaii could use more volunteers, said Cullen, and anyone interested can contact him through fukushimainform.ca.

“It would be great to get some local schools involved in testing. It would be a useful teaching opportunity and a good project for students,” he said.

Cullen said the results from this month’s radiation testing should be accessible online in about a month.

“I’m curious to “I’m curious to know about know about radiation.”radiation.”

It came down to just a handful of votes, but Ian Gould has been elected as mayor of Port Clements.

Gould received 70 votes in the race to replace the late Wally Cheer, just three more than Dennis Reindl while Judy Hadley received 15 votes in her bid for mayor. The final tally gave Gould the victory with 46 per cent of the popular vote compared to 44 per cent for Hadley and 9.8 per cent for Hadley.

Gould will be leading a council

that includes Douglad Daugert, who received 122 votes, Christine Cunningham with 110 votes, Matt Gaspar with 106 votes and Charleen O’Brien Anderson with 92 votes. Just short of a seat on council was Brigid Cumming with 86 votes, while Betty Stewart rounded out the list of candidates with 30 votes.

In Masset, Mayor Andrew Merilees will be joined by Tony Tyler with 142 votes, Barry Pages with 135 votes, Bret Johnston with 119 votes and Jason Thompson with 113 votes. Zoe Sikora was left without a seat after receiving 50 votes.

Moresby Island has a new representative on the Skeena — Queen Charlotte Regional District as Bill Beldessi received 100 votes to oust incumbent Evan Putterill, who received 47 votes. The question of whether or not people favoured “establishing a service within Electoral Area E to operate a community hall” passed with 107 votes for and 39 against.

The race for the South Area seat on the Haida Gwaii School District board of education was won by Denise Husband with 138 votes to the 115 votes received by Christine Martinuik.

Province to add more child care workersBY TOM FLETCHERVICTORIA / Black Press

B.C.’s struggling child protection service will be strengthened by the addition of 200 more social worker and support staff positions over the next two years, Children and Family Development Minister Stephanie Cadieux says.

The announcement came a day after the union representing staff issued a report saying they continue

to deal with excessive workload and staff shortages due to high staff turnover, unfilled positions and budget cuts.

Cadieux said the additional staff and centralizing of child protection intake screening is a response to the B.C. Government and Service Employees’ Union report, and previous critical reports by Representative for Children and Youth Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond.

The BCGEU estimates that 80

per cent of social workers have more than the recommended 20 cases, with nearly half carrying more than 30 and some reporting caseloads of 70 or more.

Cadieux said 70 auxiliary employees are being made permanent immediately, mostly in the Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island, and the target is to bring the total to 200 new positions by the end of 2016.

“We’ve heard the concerns of our staff about their workload, about their inability to do all of the things that they feel are necessary,” Cadieux said.

NDP children and family critic Doug Donaldson said help is still far away for rural and northern communities where recruiting and retaining staff is most difficult. He said the Smithers ministry office has seen 100 per cent turnover of child protection staff in the last three years.

“It’s really good that the government has finally woken up, six years after the child representative said that staffing issues and turnover issues need to be addressed,” Donaldson said.

A mobile response team is being expanded to help offices with long-standing vacancies cope while new staff is recruited and trained.

Cadieux said the ministry budget has increased by about $47 million since 2008, with another increase set for next year. Adjusting office hours and doing more administrative work online or by phone allows the ministry to focus its resources on face-to-face services, she said.

Development of a Pest Management Plan

NDP leader: Rupert LNG project unlikely to happenBY ROD LINK TERRACE / Black Press

Provincial NDP opposition leader John Horgan says he has doubts about two of the liquefied natural gas (LNG) projects being planned for the Prince Rupert area.

Speaking at a stop in Terrace as part of a northwest tour last week, Horgan noted that one company, the BG Group, has already announced it’s delaying plans for a large LNG plant on Ridley Island.

“I think they’re done,” said Horgan of the BG Group’s project called Prince Rupert LNG which would involve a facility capable of producing 21 million tonnes of LNG a year.

BG Group’s initial plans had forecast a construction period of two phases beginning in 2016.

But it announced late last month that it is delaying its Prince Rupert decision because of its involvement in more advanced LNG developments in the United States.

The company has two projects

underway in the United States, one in Louisiana and the other in Texas.

Horgan also focussed on the Pacific NorthWest LNG project, which has as its majority owner the Malaysian-stated owned Petronas company and which is slated for a location on Lelu Island within the District of Port Edward’s jurisdiction.

The location has just come under criticism from a number of aboriginal groups and some residents for potential impacts on the Skeena River’s salmon populations.

The project is under a provincial environmental review and Petronas recently received a 45-day extension of that review to conduct more work.

“The Skeena River’s got some salmon in it,” said Horgan of the importance of the river to the region.

He did note that the review will shed more light on the impacts of the planned project on the Skeena River estuary and its salmon-hosting role.

In some ways, Horgan said the prospects of LNG development in

Kitimat are more favourable than around Prince Rupert.

One LNG project at Kitimat, called Kitimat LNG, has a substantial buy-in from aboriginal groups.

That includes the Haisla at Kitamaat Village on whose lands the plant will be built and from virtually all of the First Nations who have territory over which a natural gas pipeline would run to supply the facility.

And this month’s announcement that the other major LNG project at Kitimat, called Canada LNG, had entered its own 180-day environmental review was greeted warmly by both Haisla Chief Councillor Ellis Ross and Art Sterritt, executive director of Coastal First Nations.

“I think LNG in Kitimat before Prince

Rupert,” commented Horgan.But he also highlighted a small

LNG proposal at Squamish, north of Vancouver, where a company called Woodfibre LNG wants to build a facility on a former pulp mill site.

That means it’s an existing brownfield site in terms of impact.

That project has a natural gas pipeline coming to the property already and ready connections to BC Hydro power.

In general, Horgan said he’s skeptical that any LNG industry which might locate in the province will come anywhere close to the BC Liberal government’s promise of enough money to pay off the provincial debt and build up a $100 billion legacy fund.

“There’s a lot of stress on the industry right now,” said Horgan.

With the price of oil dropping and because the price of gas is tied to the price of oil in overseas markets, revenues may not match expenses, he said.

Horgan also visited Kitimat and Prince Rupert.

“I think LNG in Kitimat “I think LNG in Kitimat before Prince Rupert.”before Prince Rupert.”

Share-a-Bear back for 25th

Christmas seasonBC Liquor Stores are encouraging British

Columbians to give to those less fortunate this holiday season by participating in the 25th Annual Share-a-Bear campaign.

From now until Christmas, or while quantities last, customers can buy a Share-a-Bear for $12 at any BC Liquor Store and have its ‘twin’ teddy bear donated to a local community charity. Each year, BC Liquor Store employees select charities in their communities that help families in need —from children’s charities to shelters and hospitals — and deliver donated Share-a-Bears over the holidays.

This year’s Share-a-Bears are plush white-and-black teddy bears dressed in bright red, puffy vests featuring a sparkling snowflake on the lapel.

“The annual Share-a-Bear campaign is near and dear to the hearts of our customers and staff. The holidays are a time for us to show others less fortunate that we care - so I encourage shoppers to make a difference and buy a ‘Share-a-Bear’,” said Liquor Distribution Branch general manager and CEO R. Blain Lawson.

Last year customers across B.C. purchased more than 24,000 bears to help make Christmas brighter for underprivileged youth, while more than 575,000 bears have been donated since the program was launched in 1989.

Celebrating its 25th anniversary, the Share-a-Bear campaign is one of the ways the BC Liquor Distribution Branch demonstrates its commitment to social responsibility in communities across the province.

Move over Obama, make way for the HellcatWashington D.C. - The U.S. capital is an exciting place to be, with all those presidential comings and goings, and crowds gathering near the gates of the White House in the hope of catching a glimpse of the leader of the free world.But on a recent day, all the exciting action was happen-ing at Summit Point Raceway, about an hour and half away in neighbouring Virginia, where a smaller crowd of journalists got more than a glimpse of the new 2015 Dodge Charger Hellcat.

LooksThe first leg of the launch event was held at Ronald Reagan airport, in a hangar cleared to display the entire Charger lineup. They looked like colorful jellybeans scattered in different trim levels ranging from the base V6 model to the R/T models featuring a 5.7L V8, then to the SRT high performance 392 model, and the all-new, for 2015, Hellcat with 707 hp. The 2015 Charger gets an all-new exterior, the only holdover pieces are the roof and rear doors, and the rest is new, more aggressive, sleeker and muscular. The nose now has a less blunt look, with a slimmer headlight design that is meant to look like a bandit, wearing a mask. Each trim has different grille openings and in the case of the high horsepower Hellcat, all the air intakes, scoops and vents not only make the car look more menacing, but they all serve a function. The Charger has an aggressive stance but this is also a car that can blend into the crowd: it doesn’t need to scream at the top of its voice. That is left for the engine to do.InsideWhen the last version of the Charger was refreshed, the focus was on updating the dash to improve the feel of the materials and the overall finish. The 2015 model takes things up a notch, with even more technology and improved style. The dash is covered with an aluminum

fascia, which has not migrated to the shifter surround. The shifter too has been updated to a T-style that re-minds older drivers of the Chargers sold in the original muscle car era. The steering wheel is new and has up-dated switches to control two new screens in the dash. They include a base 5-inch screen in the console or optional 8.4-inch version, plus a standard programma-ble screen in the instrument cluster for a quick glance

when driving. The high performance SRT models get a steering wheel with a flat bottom and heavily bolstered seats for track-ready driving. The real story is that this isn’t a track car, rather a solid family 4-door with room for all passengers.DriveOn the way to the racetrack, I drove the ($39,495) R/T, Hemi-equipped Charger over highways and some backcountry roads. This new model has a much more grownup feel and is a fantastic long road trip machine. Passing is a snap but the Charger was happiest at about 130km/h, maybe thanks to an all-new 8-speed automatic on all trim levels. Greeting us at the track were 5.7L Hemi cars, the 6.4L V8 Scat Pack model and the new Hellcat with a 6.2L V8 and with a big supercharger bolted on. This engine has 90 per cent of the parts

upgraded from the regular engines and each one is put on a 40-minute dyno test before being shipped to the customer. When the supercharger is up to full capacity, this engine will gulp 13,000 litres of air in one minute. I had a chance to drive all the models starting with the least powerful 5.7L with 370hp, then the 485HP 6.4L and continuing the rest of the day with the 707hp Hellcat. Each is very capable on the track but the Hellcat is so much more car, capable of a run to 100km/h in less than 4 second and it can stop with just as much viciousness. The impressive thing is just how easy this monster is to

drive. It needs to be treated with respect but getting on the power or the brakes is very smooth and effortless. The sound from the screaming engine, the Pirelli P-Zero tires squealing under acceleration or diving into each corner was a sensory overload. After dozens of laps around the track with a top speed of 230km/h down the straight, this car is nothing short of amazing. Every-thing else just feels slow.VerdictThe average buyer will still opt for the ($32,495) V6-equipped cars sold with a solid 300 hp going to the rear wheels or all wheels, the V8-equipped cars are not offered with AWD any longer. The most amazing, but unspectacular part of the trip was driving the Hellcat back to Washington, D.C. through heavy traffic on the highway and downtown core. As we pulled up the W Hotel, just a block from the Whitehouse, the 707 hp Hellcat returned 9.9L/100km. Nothing short of amazing considering the cars output, but it might come down to the 411 lb.-ft. the engine puts out at just 1,200 rpm, allowing it to loaf along effortlessly. This and the $64,495 price tag will get a lot of car fans sitting up and paying attention; the world’s fastest four-door family car is an amazing engineering marvel and the price is as jaw-dropping as the car itself.The LowdownPower: 707 hp from a supercharged 6.2L V8Sticker price: $32,496-$64,[email protected]
