Administrative error costs Liu at Pan Am

BY KEVIN CAMPBELLPRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

Prince Rupert’s Adrian Liu, who was a favourite to medal in his home country at the Toronto 2015 Pan Am Games has been disqualified following an administrative error by Badminton Canada.

Liu, Canada’s elite men’s doubles player and his badminton partner Derrick Ng were disqualified for violating a Badminton World Federation (BWF) rule that states no player or pair will enter two federation-sanctioned competitions in the same week.

Badminton Canada allegedly appealed the decision but to no avail.

In a message to CBC, Ng stated that Badminton Canada had registered Liu and Ng to play in the Taipei Open, which falls on July 14 - 19 as opposed to the Taipei Grand Prix,

which is held Oct. 13 - 18.The former tournament conflicts with the

Pan Am Games by BWF rules.The duo, based out of Richmond, B.C. had

won bronze in the 2011 Pan Am Games and were medal hopefuls in the Toronto tournament.

The disqualification also hurts the duo’s chances of entering the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Summer Olympics as the points earned at the Pan Am Games are crucial to qualify for the Olympics.

No replacement men’s doubles team has been assigned by Canada and the badminton portion of the Pan Am Games started Saturday.

The rest of Team Canada have played strongly in the early-going. As of Monday morning, Rachel Honderich has advanced to the women’s singles semifinals, as have Canada’s mixed doubles team of Toby Ng and Alex Bruce.

Algae bloom threatens

gill net fleetBY REBECCA WATSONPRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

The Prince Rupert gill net fleet has been hit hard by a massive algae bloom and may be forced off the water.

“It’s crippling me as far as catching fish goes. Everything on the boat is dirty from [algae] including me and you can’t catch any fish because they can see the net, it’s like a blanket out there,” said Claude McDonald, 76, a gill net fisherman based in Prince Rupert.

A sticky, thick algae is being singled out as the reason for extremely dismal salmon catches so far this season.

Mud is the name given to the plankton by fisherman due to its thick viscosity and muddy colour.

Since learning of the impact the mud is having on their nets, only a fraction of gillnetters are taking the trip north for the salmon openings, gill netter Glen Scoular, 57, said.

“It was so hopeless last [opening], the net was so dirty and hard to clean, we didn’t even go and we haven’t made anything yet.”

McDonald describes the substance as abnormally thick, yet invisible from a boat.

“But once the net has been in the water for five minutes it’s completely plugged. It’s hard to wash out and even with a high pressure water hose it takes hours. We’re not catching any fish, we’re down to less than 20 per cent earnings for June. Algae bloom has been bad before but never as bad as it is right now. As long as I’ve been fishing there’s been some but you would just move to a different spot. Now there’s no other places to go, it’s just everywhere,” said McDonald, whose been fishing more than 60 years.

Another fisherman, Bill Dockar, 61, said not getting fish in the net soon may have some long-term repercussions.

“Commercial fishing licences go for $50,000 - $60,000 plus the cost of the boat can range from $50,000 to $100,000 [or more]. You also need a licence for each area you fish, so to fish down the coast

you need three, all with an annual cost of $760. It’s not a cheap sport to get into. Catching nothing [means] you go into the hole,” Dockar said.

In the Prince Rupert harbour, gill net fisherman are not the only ones feeling the impact of the muddy plankton.

Canning at the Canadian Fish Corporation (CANFISCO) started July 8.

“It’s the first time we’ve started this late since I can remember,” Lori Wilson, plant manager, said.

“We just haven’t had any fish. Both plants are now open but normally we would have been canning mid June and today is our first day,” Wilson said.

CANFISCO’s vice president of production and corporate development, Rob Morley said the company still expects larger fish volumes to come from Area 6 closer to Hartley Bay.

“So far the fishing has been slow in northern B.C. but the Skeena hasn’t opened up yet and hopefully things will pick up when it does. Clearly, [the algae bloom] has been interfering with gill nets up the Nass but in a couple weeks from now until we get into bigger areas it’s speculation. We don’t really know the impact until we get out there.”

Research scientist with the Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO), Ian Perry, specializes in fisheries oceanography and says record-breaking temperatures are to blame for the spike in algae.

“We’re seeing a lot of unusual things

going on at the moment. In general, they are related to weather and unusually warm water temperatures. What we see as a result is a very unusual bloom of phytoplankton which extends from southern California up to the tip of Vancouver Island, some of it is also being observed off Alaska south of Anchorage [in the Nass].”

Samples of the Nass phytoplankton has been collected for analysis.

“The blooms off the west coast of Vancouver Island are different, its not the same species. [Samples from the Nass] were sent to us on Saturday and from what I’ve seen from pictures I don’t think they are toxic but we won’t really know until the samples get here,” he said, adding thick algae is not what’s unusual, but the high volume.

“Every year at the DFO we get together with people inside and outside the department [to talk] about the state of the ocean. We put together a report and this year’s should be out any day about the conditions in 2014 leading up to 2015. It talks about warmer water and a huge blob of warm water in the Gulf of Alaska that moved to the shore on the coast [last year] during the October to December time period and how it stayed along the coast causing some record high water temperatures in 2015 including near the light house station on Langara Island north of Haida Gwaii and all down the central and south coasts,” Perry said.

The primary source of information for DFO about abnormalities in the ocean comes from the public, Perry added.

New Moon building’s fate still in questionBY REBECCA WATSONPRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

The future of the former New Moon restaurant building is being placed into the hands of insurance companies following a massive fire that gutted the interior.

“It was an old building but wasn’t a designated heritage building,” said Jean Eiers-Page from the city’s archives.

Meaning the structure is not protected and could be torn down.

Prince Rupert fire chief Dave McKenzie said for the interim the building will remain boarded up for security purposes.

“But we can’t leave it boarded up forever. They can either tear it down or rebuild it,” he said.

Over the next few days firefighters will continue to monitor the site conducting spot checks to ensure nothing re-ignites.

“There’s always a possibility of flare-ups on large fires like this but we don’t need people on site [all the time]. We do need to monitor it though,” McKenzie said, adding the fire department will be working with the insurance company(s) on what will be the next action.

“But it takes time. Since there could be more than one insurance company it could take a month, it could take two or three or more.”

Trucks carrying large containers through downtown Prince Rupert on Second Avenue and McBride Street may be a thing of the past, if the Port of Prince Rupert is able to achieve one of their long-term plans for a new container examination facility (CEF).

The port is exploring, but hasn’t formally engaged in the process to develop the former J.S. McMillan Fisheries’ cannery site, located beyond the end of Highway 16, west of Graham Avenue, into its new container examination facility.

“When we built Fairview Container Terminal back in 2006-07, we didn’t own that property at J.S. McMillan, so developing the [CEF] had to be done on port lands that were under our control. So Ridley Island was a logical place to do that at the time,” said port marketing and communications officer Kris Schumacher last week.

In 2011, when J.S. McMillan closed down, the port bought those lands and have been determining how best to use it with the close proximity to Fairview.

Currently, trucks transport containers flagged for inspection by Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) to the location at Ridley Island, carrying them through Park Avenue, Second Avenue and up

McBride Street, through Highway 16 to its existing CEF.

To expedite that process and as part of ‘Phase Two’ of the Fairview expansion to try and bring the terminal’s capacity to 1.3 million TEUs, the former cannery site makes for an attractive option with respect to proximity.

However, the port advised city council in late June that with added housing on Graham Avenue and a newly-built road and roundabout connecting Graham Avenue and Park Avenue, proposed by Bryton Group for their Oceanview Development, there may be an influx of activity in possible residential areas should the CEF be developed in that area with added housing.

“It was just a conversation to let [the city] know when they were making changes to the official community plan, that it was simply to alert them to the fact that we will be exploring that later. In addition to having the CEF located there, there are a number of other uses that we could have [for that site]. One of those may be the relocation of our port security operations centre to that site and expanding that ... [to be] more centralized and larger and a more sophisticated spot to house that rather than what we currently have at Atlin,” said Schumacher.

“The relocation of the CEF is one of many different improvements to the total intermodal service that we can offer through Fairview Container Terminal.”

A new container examination facility at the former J.S. McMillan Fisheries’ site could eliminate the need for trucks to carry cargo through town.

Harley Riders seek Canada Day clarification

BY KEVIN CAMPBELLPRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

A member of the Harley Riders is displeased he wasn’t able to set up a space to sell raffle tickets on Canada Day within Mariner’s Park and is seeking some clarification in the special event sign-up process.

Chris Rose, Prince Rupert Harley Riders club president, approached the Prince Rupert Special Events Society to sell raffle tickets for a motorcycle to benefit the Kaien Island Anti-Poverty Society (KAPS) and the North Coast Health Improvement Society (NCHIS), but was unable to secure a spot for his booth.

“We were going to help out with those two [causes] and this was our first ever Harley raffle because we’re a society now – we’re all registered with the gaming branch,” said Rose.

“[I was told I couldn’t come on-site] because [Special Events] gets inundated by over 180 service groups and [was told] ‘We just can’t let you do it’.”

Rose set up down the street from Mariner’s Park – the designated area for Canada Day festivities, and sold the tickets there, instead.

In response to the request, Joy Sundin of Special Events said that the timing of the application could have been sooner as Rose submitted his notice the morning of Canada Day.

“He approached us on the day, which isn’t very fair to the

organizers,” said Sundin.“If you organize a party

or event and you’re open to everybody, people are welcome to come and do things, but if somebody wants to capitalize on your administrative abilities to bring all these people together, that’s pretty tough stuff,” she continued, adding that had Rose made his request further in advance, the Harley Riders’ booth might have been able to be accommodated.

“I just feel [that] we’re trying to help out this community and we have for over 34 years and now we’re getting shuffled to the background,” said Rose, who added that Special Events did allow the Harley Riders space on Third Avenue in front of The Belmont during Seafest in June to put on a motorcycle rodeo.

“We don’t normally allow people to just come and sell tickets, especially when they notify us at the last minute,” said Barb Gruber of Special Events.

“We plan it for months ahead of time. We do a drawing of the park, where everything is to be set up, where everything is to be placed ... I suggested to Chris [that morning] if they plan on doing a raffle next year, to come to one of our board meetings and speak to us. That way, the board can make a decision and if they were agreeable a place would be set up for them,” said Gruber, adding that a list of scheduled meetings can be found at the Special Events office.

Do what your passionate about, and for Judy Riddell, 58, program manager at The Berry Patch childcare resource and referral centre, nurturing seems to be a common theme.

“It’s all about the children and helping them realize their fullest potential,” she said.

But children are not Riddell’s only passion. “My life has not been straightforward, I’ve done

many different things,” she said. Born in Victoria B.C., Riddell travelled frequently as

a child since her father was a mining engineer. They moved to places such as Saskatchewan, Peru

and California all before Grade 11, when she moved back to B.C. alone to attend boarding school.

Although she loved travelling, her first true passion was aquaculture, so Riddell went to McGill University and majored in marine biology.

For the next few years she worked as a biological technician at UBC prior to becoming a port sampler off the west coast of Vancouver Island.

Feeling restless, she decided to travel again for a year-and-a-half and ended up working in Japan and Australia.

“I don’t know all the languages but I did have a good phrase book,” she joked, adding her passion for marine biology is what brought her back to B.C., only this time to be a port sampler in Prince Rupert.

She worked for the Salmon Head Recovery program, which still exists today.

She tagged salmon nose cartilages so future biologists could learn how the fish are surviving for many years to come.

“We tagged with a numbered pin so you can tell what hatchery it came from and what year,” she said.

Her passion still in aquaculture, she went back to school in Nanaimo for one year before returning to Prince Rupert and working at the former fish farm on Miller Bay, formally known as the Fisherman’s Co-op. “It was a grassroots type of thing where the workers own the business,” she said.

It was there she farm-raised salmon, met her husband and had three daughters. And it was there her passion would change in the direction of becoming a stay-at-home mom.

One day she spotted in the newspaper that the provincial government was funding out-of-school centres.

She said she thought to herself, “We don’t have any here in Prince Rupert.”

So, Riddell did what she needed to and opened up a daycare across the street from the former Westview Elementary.

“It was the first in Prince Rupert where parents would bring their kids as early as 7 a.m. and staff would take them to school. In the afternoon, someone would meet them in the playground and bring them back until their parents picked them up,” she said.

Another year went by and Riddell saw another government funding opportunity only this time for a child care resource and referral centre.

“So I wrote the proposal for that one too, we won the bid and set up The Berry Patch Child Resource and Referral Centre in 2002 where I have been ever since,” she said.

Two out of her three original co-workers, Connie Collins and Betty Ciccone, moved with her and also work at The Berry Patch.

Thinking back now, many of her courses in school apply directly to childcare.

“I did child psychology and microbiology. It’s still about rearing, husbandry and nurturing. Now it’s children not fish,” Riddell said with a smile.

Riddell has another passion, supporting people at the end of their life as president of the Prince Rupert Hospice Society.

“We are there for emotional and social support for both persons at end-of-life and their families,” she said.

Ironically, she spent years following salmon through their full life cycle — one of few fish who die after spawning.

“We try to normalize people thinking about life and how life unfolds. Our slogan is: Death is a part of life,” she said.

Currently, the Hospice Society is promoting a medical plan initiative called 75/20, also known as My Voice throughout B.C.

“We would like 75 per cent of Prince Rupert and area to complete the End of Life (medical plan booklet) by 2020,” she said.

So now, not only does she support the nurturing of young minds, but helping those at the other end of the spectrum.

“It’s just my way of looking at things.”

The B.C. legislature is back in session this week, a rare summer sitting to approve a 25-year project agreement for the first large-scale liquefied

natural gas project near Prince Rupert.Finance Minister Mike de Jong released the

lengthy legal agreement prior to the debate, saying this step should remove any doubt that an international investment group led by Petronas of Malaysia intends to go ahead.

With billions invested in upstream resources and buyers waiting at home, the Pacific Northwest LNG group includes Chinese state corporation Sinopec, Indian Oil Corp., Japan Petroleum Exploration Corp. and Petroleum Brunei.

The most contentious issue is the government’s intention to protect the investors from “discriminatory” tax and regulations for the life of the project. The government insists these sorts of long-term cost certainty agreements are commonplace, and don’t affect provincial and federal taxes or environmental regulations unless they single out LNG operations.

Future governments can raise corporate tax rates, carbon tax or enter into a cap and trade system. Ottawa can scrap capital cost allowances that were recently extended to LNG producers, which is significant because Liberal leader Justin Trudeau has indicated he would get rid of what he calls subsidies to fossil fuels.

Both the province and Ottawa allow capital cost write-offs against corporate tax, to attract investment. B.C. attracted a lot of gas drilling rigs from Alberta with tax breaks for deep drilling.

The B.C. government invited comparisons with Western Australia LNG producers, and NDP researchers did just that. They noted that Australia’s Gorgon and North West Shelf LNG projects have written provisions that local employment and local suppliers will get preference.

Those are absent in B.C., along with apprenticeship guarantees for LNG.

“There was hard bargaining by the companies, and certainly the premier went into this negotiation in a very weak position, having to deliver on her extravagant and grandiose promises from the election,” NDP critic Bruce Ralston said. “The companies did well. Whether

the citizens of British Columbia did well is certainly an open question.”

It’s important to remember that without LNG exports, B.C.’s natural gas industry will shrink rapidly after 50 years of increasingly significant revenues from sales to the U.S. Leaving aside all the political positioning around the province’s largest private investment to date, if this doesn’t go ahead we will all feel the effects.

De Jong had a blunt response when asked what the province gets in return for all its guarantees of low tax environment: “Their money.”

The finance ministry forecasts that once Pacific Northwest LNG is up and running, it represents $9 billion in revenues to the province over 10 years, including gas royalties and taxes. That’s more than taxpayers can expect from the entire forest industry.

Is Prince Rupert’s LNG industry real? Yes.

Wake up, BWFHow is it possible, in an age when athletes

from a myriad of sports (the most infamous from the world of baseball,

cycling and track and field – although the list goes on...) can slip by drug tests on a yearly basis, commit some sort of violent crime, or be caught with contraband and continue on with their careers, when a mere registration technicality can force out two of Canada’s top athletes from the Pan Am Games?

For Prince Rupert’s Adrian Liu and his badminton men’s doubles partner Derrick Ng, because some poor administrator within

Badminton Canada’s ranks entered them in a tournament in Taipei at the same time as the Pan Am Games, instead of the correct Taipei tournament later in October, the two were booted out of the year’s most anticipated multi-sport tournament (certainly in

Canada) in the blink of an eye.Badminton Canada’s appeal fell on deaf ears

and now, these two athletes’ livelihoods are in jeopardy. It’s not a hobby or a side-job when you play for the stakes that these two play for. It’s a full-time gig and it’s one they’ve worked for since the summer 2011 when the last Pan Am Games concluded in Guadalajara, Mexico.

Liu and Ng were prepared to play for gold, an expectation definitely not out of the realm of possibility considering their professional history versus the rest of the continent. Along with gold, they were prepared to rack up the points needed within Badminton World Federation’s (BWF) cumulative system to enter the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro next year.

They can’t do that now and it’s not like they can have a “make-up test” to regain what they’ve lost.

Was their transgression a malicious one? Did they have anything to gain by enrolling in two tournaments in the same week, which last I checked is physically impossible since humanity’s cloning advances haven’t yet reached its full potential?

It’s utter nonsense that the BWF would be so steadfast in its position as to make an example out of these two Canadians that even an administrative error such as this one, would take them out of a tournament of such magnitude.

The BWF needs to wake up and give its head a shake. In this case, the punishment is the travesty, not the so-called crime.

Letters to the editorLetters to the editor

Made-in-BC biomass firm is a global playerEstablished in

Quesnel, British Columbia more

than 20 years ago, Pinna-cle Renewable Energy Group is now the largest and longest-established wood pellet producer in Western Canada.

The company began in 1989 when Rob and Jim Swaan founded Pin-nacle Feed and Pellet in Quesnel. After several years of successful op-erations, Pinnacle Pellet Inc. was incorporated in 1993. The company expanded by opening a second mill in the community of Williams Lake a decade later.

In 2006, the launch of the Houston Pellet Limited Partnership with Canfor and the Moricetown First Nation saw Pinnacle establish a 30% stake in a new pellet plant adjacent to Canfor’s sawmill.

Pinnacle continued expanding its business by acquiring a mill in Armstrong in 2007 and launching operations at a new mill in Meadow-bank in 2008. In 2011, Pinnacle opened the $30 million Burns Lake fa-cility, one of the largest and most technologically-advanced wood pellet plants in the world.

Today Pinnacle operates six pellet plants across the province, ranging in size from the 60,000-tonne operation in the Thompson-Okanagan community of Armstrong to the 400,000-tonne mill in Burns Lake.

Altogether, these plants have an annual production capacity of over 1.2 million tonnes, making Pinnacle responsible for more than half of Canada-wide wood pellet production.

Pinnacle’s pellet plants are located in close proximity to both the raw materials used in the production of wood pellets, and routes to Europe-an and Asian markets through access points such as the Port of Prince Rupert.

Each plant is also a significant contributor to the local economies they operate in. In Burns Lake, Pinnacle directly supports over 20 full-time jobs at the site, more than 50 spin-off jobs in the community, and contributes to the overall health and sustainability of British Colum-bia’s forest sector, which employs some 55,000 people.

In December 2013, Pinnacle announced an agreement with Coast Tsimshian Resources to work toward a fibre procurement plan and the construction of new wood pellet plant in Terrace. Coast Tsimshian Re-sources (CTR), owned by the Lax Kw’alaams Band, is holder of the largest active tree farm licence in the area. CTR is confident a local wood pellet plant would provide a solution for low-end fibre that is cur-rently wasted in the North Coast/Skeena area, making the best use of the forest resources under their control. The establishment of a wood pellet plant in Terrace is forecast to create nearly 200 jobs, and sets the stage for other cooperative agreements within the northwest forest in-dustry, particularly the recently-revived Skeena Sawmills.

While still in the commissioning phase, Pinnacle’s Westview Wood Pellet Terminal is proving to be a critical link to supplying their rapidly-expanding wood pellet business with access to overseas markets, where wood pellets are replacing fossil fuels as a primary source of power gen-eration. To date, the terminal has shipped nearly 55,000 tonnes of wood pellets, and is slated to load the Star Athena bulk vessel next week.

Editor:Re: federal election.. I, for one, want to know

which party will commit to getting us closer to the goal of .7 per cent of Gross National Income (GNI) for international aid spending. Please note that .7 per cent is less than one per cent.

Can we not find it in our hearts and in our pockets to give those less fortunate a hand-up?

Our aid contributions stand at just 0.24 per cent of GNI, and have dropped from $5.65 billion in 2012, to $5 billion in 2013, to $4.2 billion in 2014.

Meanwhile, the UK has passed a bill that enshrines in law its commitment to spend 0.7 per cent of its gross national income (GNI) on aid every year, making it the first G7 country to meet the UN’s 45-year-old aid spending target.

In 2013, only five other countries – Sweden, Norway, Luxembourg, Denmark and the United Arab Emirates – had met or exceeded the 0.7 per cent aid spending target.

The Netherlands had consistently met the target, but fell short in 2013.

Canada must prioritize international development by committing to increasing our aid spending to .7 per cent of our Gross National Income by the year 2020.

C’mon, pull yourself away from the barbecue or hammock for just a few minutes, or maybe an hour and do a little research so that you are armed for that fall election.

Party leaders... all hat, no cattleEditor:All hat and no cattle. That wonderful Texas expression, often applied

to politicians who are all show and no substance, came to mind as I glimpsed television images on Friday.

Ottawa politicians were kicking off a long hot summer of fund-raising and rubber chicken barbecues, with the obligatory stop in Alberta for the opening of the Calgary Stampede.

Justin Trudeau was decked out in the customary bright checkered cowboy shirt, with flowing mane neatly tucked beneath a white Stetson.

Along came Tom Mulcair, also wearing a white Stetson and his white shirt accented by a coloured neckerchief, carefully wrangling his delighted grandkids.

There used to be a saying about good guys

always wearing white hats; as if to prove it correct, the camera then panned to Stephen Harper wearing a dark blue and black check-shirt with an ominous black hat pulled low over his eyes.

Gilles Duceppe was nowhere in the picture, just hope his chosen headwear this year is not the hair-net that he wore so resplendently last time he was on the campaign trail.

There was also no sign of Elizabeth May at the Stampede opening, but expect she’ll be in attendance wearing a white Stetson before it’s all over.

After that recent performance at the Ottawa Press Gallery Dinner, chances are she’ll be made most welcome at the beer tents.

All hat and no cattle, indeed !!Bernie Smith,

NDP for LNG ... just not this dealEditor:The B.C. Liberal government said their recent

LNG agreement with Petronas is modeled after similar agreements made in Australia for LNG, but that isn’t the case.

A look at those agreements shows that while Australia included clauses that would ensure local jobs, local purchasing and environmental investment, Christy Clark’s deal with Petronas did none of those things.

And while Christy Clark’s deal with Petronas locks in huge tax breaks and tax cuts for Petronas for 25 years, the Australian agreements do no such thing.

It’s clear Christy Clark negotiated well on behalf of this foreign-owned corporation, but she failed to negotiate jobs, a fair return and environmental protections for British Columbians.

New Democrats support LNG, but it has to come with a fair return for our resource, good jobs for British Columbians, true partnership with First Nations, and protect our air, land and water from wellhead to water line.

Premier Christy Clark isn’t looking out for British Columbia’s best interests.

Nobody Wants Tankers in their

Back yard

Surprise, surprise, the people who live along the river and Gulf of St. Lawrence love it as much as we love the north coast. They don’t

want expanded tar sand production for export. They don’t want bitumen fl owing through their beautiful rich farmland. They don’t want oil tankers: “Coule Pas Chez Nous (Don’t Flow/Leak Where We Live)”.

Americans don’t want Keystone to be built for expanded tar sands oil production.

Manitobans and their provincial NDP government opposed plans for some of the

new extra volume of oil to be shipped by rail to an ocean terminal in Churchill, forcing the rail company to drop their plans.

BC lower mainland people are upset by the expanded number of tankers in the last few years. They don’t want Kinder Morgan shipping even more through pipes and then out by tanker through Burrard Inlet.

Over 60 % of BC people do not want oil tankers on the north coast.

People in Rupert have certainly told producers we don’t want tankers here. Not by pipe to Kitimat and by tanker down Douglas Channel and not by rail down the Skeena and loaded onto tankers from Ridley Island in the Skeena Estuary. People will take the time to fi gure out how toxic even refi ned products are, how huge oil tankers are and the hundreds of miles and years of devastation they can cause. People care about clean seafood in the north and they are not alone.

Polls show concern across the country about food and energy security. Canadians question the risk to clean seafood and farmland and export of more oil.

Globally there is opposition to expansion of the tar sands, already too large, Greenhouse Gas Emissions.

Companies producing tar sands oil are not listening to these voices- they are expanding and expanding. The 2015 report by the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers says: “Oil sands production …is expected to grow on average by 168,000 b/d for the next 5 years. This rate of growth is similar to that exhibited in the past 5 years.”

An Aframax tanker can carry about 750,000 barrels. The planned increase in the next fi ve years would need 1200 new supertanker trips if it is exported by sea. Each one carrying many times more oil than the Valdez spilled.

Médé Langlois, an 11th generation Quebec farmer, doesn’t want oil spilled on land along the St. Lawrence River his family has farmed since 1667.

The Orient Peony is seen at the Westview Wood Pellet Terminal July 2 and has qualifi ed under the Port of Prince Rupert’s Green Wave incentive program under RightShip for a tier one (10 per cent) discount on harbour dues.

BY REBECCA WATSONPRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

Being green is no Hulk joke to the Port of Prince Rupert.

The latest enhancement of their Green Wave program proves it, since sailors can now qualify for even more incentives, just for being green.

“It’s a good thing if sailors utilize cleaner technologies. It’s good for us because it reduces the total environmental footprint of the port’s operations and it’s good for the marine carriers because it means they pay less when calling on the Port of Prince Rupert,” Kris Schumacher said, communications Port of Prince Rupert (PPR).

The Green Wave program, launched in 2013, gives shipping companies incentives to install emission-reduction technology or other sustainable systems on vessels. By doing so, seafarers can apply through a number of environmental programs such as RightShip, Green Marine and the Environmental Ship Index to name a few, and qualify for one, two or three-tier discounts on harbour dues.

This year 59 unique vessels have already qualified for the Green Wave program and as of May 31 the Port of Prince Rupert has awarded a total of $51,354 in discounted harbour dues.

“Those 59 vessels represent 86 independent vessel calls which is 53 per cent of the total vessel calls the port has experienced this year. That means more than half the vessel calls this year have qualified,” Schumacher said.

The RightShip program launched their greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) rating in 2011 based on CO2 output which covers all in-service ocean vessels including cargo, ferries and others. They also provide an environmental risk rating and compare the ship’s relative efficiencies. Ships are categorize with similar sized ships and then we rate them against each other, Kris Fumberger, project lead said.

“So if you want to get your cargo

from A to B you can compare the vessels and select the vessel you want to use for your particular shipment,” he said, adding even bulk carriers are compared to each other so people can find the cheapest and/or more environmentally friendly vessel.

RightShip’s risk rating is subscriber-based but the companies environmental rating is free of charge.

“It provides people with a simple tool to look at their efficiency and that’s what Prince Rupert uses as part of their port program,” Helen Gibney said, RightShip communications.

In 2014, 45 per cent (197) of vessels that called to Prince Rupert qualified for discounted harbour dues under the Green Wave incentive program. Of those 197, 84 per cent qualified through RightShips GHG rating.

“In recognition of that, any vessel now that has a right ship ‘A’ rating... will automatically qualify for the highest discount which is nearly 50 per cent off harbour dues,” Gibney said.

COSCO shipping line, one of the

biggest container shippers in the world, has a number of vessels taking advantage of the port’s Green Wave incentives.

“Certainly we are very much in favour of participating in these type of programs. Not only are they good for local environment, ports and community, it’s good for ocean carriers in terms of the incentive attached,” Dave Bedwell said, executive vice-president COSCO.

Prince Rupert is one of the first in the world to start this type of program but Bedwell says other ports around the globe have also started to adopt similar initiatives.

“Port Metro Vancouver has a similar program and the USA’s east and west coast are also coming up with these types of incentives. Wherever our ships are calling and as long as they are new enough to be able to participate and qualify we certainly make sure they do participate. You’ll start to see more of these programs popping up more and more around the world,” Bedwell said.

Green Island Lighthouse granted heritage status by Parks Canada

BY KEVIN CAMPBELLPRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

The Pacific northwest just got a little more historically symbolic.

The Green Island Lighthouse, located just south of the Alaskan border, gained heritage status by Parks Canada on July 2, along with 20 other B.C. lighthouses.

Many criteria go into deciding whether a Canadian lighthouse is eligible to receive the designation, including historical values or reflecting an important theme in Canadian maritime history, an illustration of the socio-economic development of the associated community, as well as architectural values or an aesthetic/

visual quality of the lighthouse, the quality of the design, structural innovation, craftsmanship, materials, optical or audible technologies and functionality and finally, community values or the visual influence on the character of the area.

“The Green Island Lighthouse is an octagonal, tapered, reinforced concrete tower surmounted by an octagonal lantern. As British Columbia’s northernmost lighthouse, just five kilometres from the Alaskan border, it is the first notable landmark that is seen as marine traffic enters Canada,” said the Parks Canada website.

The Heritage Lighthouse Protection Act, developed in May 2008 was adopted to provide a process for the

selection and designation of heritage lighthouses, to prevent the unauthorized alteration or disposition of lighthouses that are heritage-designated, to require the lighthouse be reasonably maintained and altered in keeping with the Standards and Guidelines for the Conservation of Historic Places in Canada and to facilitate sales or transfers of lighthouses to promote an ongoing public purpose or new uses for them while ensuring their long-term protection.

Head keeper Serge Pare currently has operated the lighthouse and has been doing so since 1995.

A total of 74 lighthouses throughout Canada were granted heritage status in early July.

August 10, 1935 to July 4, 2015

I t is with deep sadness that we announce the death of our beloved Jean.

Jean was pre-deceased by her parents, Doug and Anna Manly and two brothers, Charlie and Bob.

She is survived by her loving husband, Lorne, son, Patrick, daughter, Marrianne Park, son, Michael, brother, Jim Manly, (Eva) and grandchildren, Scott and Megan Park and many friends.

Jean was a teacher at Prince Rupert Secondary School for sixteen years where she was the Learning Assistant Teacher. She also taught English and Math and piloted the new First Nations Studies course.

She was very active at First United Church for 34 years. She shared her passion for sewing with the congregation by making many beautiful banners and wall hangings. She made many colourful vests and shirts for family and friends. She also decorated blue jean jackets to be auctioned off at two Dragonboat Cancer Auctions.

Jean also had a great passion for peace and justice issues and was involved in many protests, rallies and marches.

We wish to acknowledge with much thanks the untiring, effi cient and compassionate ministrations of all her nurses and Dr. Brown in the Intensive Care Unit.

Th ere will be a celebration of Jean’s life on Saturday, September 19th at 2 p.m. at First United Church. A reception will follow.

In lieu of fl owers, donations may be made to Heart & Stroke or First United Church Roof Fund.

New LNG regulations for Prince Rupert port

BY KEVIN CAMPBELLPRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

New liquefied natural gas (LNG) facilities regulations handed down by the federal Ministry of Transportation have no surprises in store for the Prince Rupert Port Authority (PRPA).

Any and all proposed LNG facilities to be built in Prince Rupert on federal lands will be required to abide by the new measures, published on June 20 in a report issued under the federal authority of the Canada Marine Act, titled Port of Prince Rupert Liquefied Natural Gas Facilities Regulations.

“We’ve been directly involved with [the regulations’] creation, working alongside Transport Canada and we were aware that this was going to happen,” said PRPA marketing and communications officer Kris Schumacher in early July.

“The essence of them is specifically to include provincial legislation that will allow the provincial oil and gas commission to carry out certain functions with respect to the projects during their construction and operation.”

Four objectives have been outlined with respect to the regulations – to establish a federal regulatory regime for LNG projects in B.C. and specifically the Port of Prince Rupert, to make sure the British Columbia Oil and Gas Commission (OGC) has LNG facility construction and operations oversight, to reassure investors, developers and the public

that there is a mandated regulated regime in place and to have consistency in LNG projects on B.C. federal or provincial lands.

While the port would abide by these new standards, they are far from removed as an operating and administrative body.

“It provides more certainty on a number of aspects. For example, during safe navigation and managing port lands which we already do, we’ll still have that same role to play if either of the two LNG terminals on port lands come to fruition, but also if any of the other two, which are not on our lands [go ahead]. For the water lots which are under our control, we’ll still be responsible for safe navigation and the planning of marine berths,” said Schumacher.

“It’s not something we were caught off-guard by in any respects. We were involved with it from the get-go and this is just another piece of the process to formally introduce a new export industry to Canada.”

“[The port] will still be “[The port] will still be responsible for safe navigation responsible for safe navigation

and the planning of marine and the planning of marine berths.”berths.”

One of Prince Rupert’s well-known car dealerships will be closing its doors at the end of August.

Port City Ford, a dealership within the Terrace Totem Ford Auto Group, is set to close down on Aug. 31, affecting approximately a dozen employees at the Prince Rupert location.

“It was with heavy hearts that we were forced to essentially make this decision,” said Terrace Totem Auto Group dealer principal and partner Shane deJong.

“This is the toughest business decision that myself and the other two partners (Kevin Kennedy and Mitch Shinde) have had to make in 15 years of owning the Terrace Totem Ford Auto Group ... It’s not what we wanted to do. We wanted to continue doing business in Prince Rupert.”

One of the biggest reasons for the closure is because of the mandate by Ford Motor Company to keep all dealership buildings at a base minimum standard of operations, which includes a frontal exterior with a towered entrance, composed of a compound called Alucobond, which is a composite panel consisting of two aluminum cover sheets and a plastic core.

It’s estimated that the required upgrades to the Port City Ford location would cost approximately $500,000 in renovations, stated deJong.

“Ford is requiring us to do half a million dollars in renovations to the building or shut it down and we couldn’t justify the expense,” deJong said, noting that Terrace Totem does not own the building in question.

The partners want to ensure that customers of Port City Ford can rely on the organization to provide them with information concerning vehicle servicing.

“We want to ensure that all of our customers in Prince Rupert and [Haida Gwaii] know that we will provide instruction on how they can get warranty work and things done in Terrace in the coming months,” said deJong.

Dave Belling has been hired as the new Prince Rupert Golf Club professional and club manager.

BY KEVIN CAMPBELLPRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

The long, anticipated search for a new Prince Rupert Golf Club professional and club manager is over.

Last Thursday evening, the Prince Rupert golf community welcomed Dave Belling to the fold in a meet and greet session for the new hire.

The tall, Ottawa-born athlete who was raised in Vancouver and attended post-secondary at Weber State University in Ogden, Utah, has played and grown the game in a variety of roles in Canada, the U.S. and even South America.

“I’ve been playing golf since I was eight-years-old,” said the professional last week.

“The game’s been very good to me. I’ve had the opportunity to play some professional golf and I’ve had the opportunity to teach full-time and create programs for kids of all ages.”

Belling’s resume is extensive – on and off the greens.“I’ve been doing this now for 34 years since I turned

pro. I’ve seen a lot of changes in the industry. I’ve worked everywhere from very, very public facilities to very, very private ones, so that experience has given me the opportunity to go full circle and be able to apply my knowledge to make Prince Rupert Golf Course better than it’s ever been,” he said.

Along with having a sound background in business and teaching, Belling has toured professionally on the PGA Canadian Tour, the Web.com Tour in the U.S. and more.

“Turning pro was an interesting process because I don’t think I quite understood it. We have the ability to be a golf professional and a professional golfer. They sound the same, but they mean two entirely different things,” said Belling.

“A golf professional is a club professional who teaches the game and pushes the game forward – merchandiser, teacher, businessman, manager. And then you have the professional golfer. And that’s the guy you see on TV playing for millions of dollars. I was lucky – I had the opportunity to try both ends of it. One is definitely tougher than the other,” he laughed.

Having been in town for over three weeks now, Belling is still learning the ins and outs of the course, and he’s played it once so far.

“It’s got a really good layout. The green complexes are outstanding. They’ve got some subtleties and some rolls, so they’re fun to play. The golf course isn’t long – it’s only 6,000 yards, but in all fairness, even at 6,000 yards the course is long because generally speaking, other than the last month, there’s not a lot of roll. The ball hits and it pretty much stays,” said Belling.

The new manager acknowledged there’s a lot of work to be done to get the facility back to a level that the community can be proud of – and it starts with the look and feel of the club, along with the smaller details.

“The initial priorities would be aesthetics right off the bat. Acknowledging that we are the Prince Rupert Centennial Golf Club. Our job is to meet and exceed

expectations of every golfer ... The most successful facilities in North America today, believe it or not, are those golf courses that are high, high-end public. You’re paying $200, $250 a round for it. And why are they successful? Because they are pristine. From the time you drive in the driveway to the time you leave, your services and expectations are all met and exceeded in every instance – from the hello in the parking lot to helping lift the clubs in the cart,” said Belling.

“It’s the little things we want people to come back to. We want to sell the golf course. We want people in it. It’s no fun being here by yourself. We want to increase membership, we want to run junior programs, quality men’s and women’s nights, fun nights and [programs for] beginners.”

And while Belling is bringing his decades of experience in a variety of club roles to the position, he stated that it will be a team effort to achieve any success the course will have in the future.

“I’m not a one-man show by any stretch of the imagination. I come with a lot of experience, but not in all cases will my thoughts and experience work in this facility, so you need that team concept,” he said.

“My job is going to be to create the services and maintain the price ... You have to show value for the dollar.”

Attracting more players to the Jim Ciccone Civic Centre’s arena is priority number-one for the Prince Rupert Minor Hockey Association.

Minor hockey (PRMHA) posted a $10,500 loss for the 2014-15 season after a few costly initiatives and fewer kids playing the sport made up the financial context for the North Coast organization.

“We’re doing more, spending a little bit of our savings too and trying to bring awareness out for Cross-Ice (a program that encourages kids who have never played hockey to try it through dividing the ice into shorter playing zones). We bought all the stuff for [that] and we’ve been spending and buying and upgrading and going through that,” said PRMHA vice-president Tanya Ostrom last week.

“I don’t believe we had a loss in [2013-14].”A drop-off in player numbers as the athletes

age is one big reason why PRMHA is focusing strongly on attracting new membership through its “Big Assist” drive, which enables all new players who have never previously played minor hockey, including Initiation A and B players, to register for the season for $50 plus a $25 jersey deposit.

“What happens is as the kids get older, you don’t get the numbers ... so you need to be creative to try and retain them because so many kids are busy with school or they’re off trying new things in their late teens and we would like to keep them. Our younger division is healthy, it’s a really big group and we’re just going to work to promote more of it,” said Ostrom.

One expense that PRMHA incurred from its capital budget was the purchase of a new Zamboni to replace an older model that had broken down numerous times.

“[The funds for that came from] a capital account that we were saving for an addition for the building ... we wanted to add on another dressing room, so that it could have superior access and storage capability [and be] something that the rep teams or [senior men’s team] the Rampage or minor hockey or anybody could use, because that’s one thing the facility is lacking, is storage,” said Ostrom.

“We were happy to step up and use those funds toward purchasing a Zamboni.”

PRMHA hasn’t formally engaged the city about about the dressing room addition, which would propose the Zamboni entrance side of the building be extended.

The Canteen continues to thrive under PRMHA’s direction and is one of the main revenue streams apart from player registration that the association operates.

With hockey being one of the more expensive sports for kids to play, parents seeking financial assistance if they need it, can contact the organization confidentially through any executive member or Christine Storey, PRMHA treasurer. Visit www.prmha.com for more details.

PRMHA incurs 2014-15 loss

BY KEVIN CAMPBELLFAIRFAX, WEST VIRGINIA / The Northern View

It wasn’t the Pan Am Games or the Olympics, but in a world-class multi-sport competition in Fairfax, West Virginia last week, Canada finished on the podium in the final medal count.

Coming in second out of approximately 70 countries at the 2015 World Police and Fire Games was Canada, finishing with 429 medals and six of those were won by two of Prince Rupert’s own fire rescue heroes.

Retired fire fighter Fred Hutchings and current deputy fire chief Jeff Beckwith took home three medals each in archery and were among the only Canadian archers to land on the podium.

“There were maybe 12 archers from Canada. Most of them were from Quebec, a couple from the Vancouver area and getting six medals to start with out of the northwest was pretty good,” said Hutchings last week.

“We did really well [in] representing Rupert. I think we did more than our fair share ... but Canadians as a whole did very well. It seemed like we always had at least [someone] on the podium,” added Beckwith.

Hutchings, a veteran of a few national and international competitions in archery, competing at the BC Seniors Games in the past and the World Police and Fire Games in 2009 when it was held in Burnaby, competed in the men’s 50-plus field, target and 3D round events and won a gold medal and two silvers.

Beckwith, competing in the 18-plus category, grabbed silver in the 40-60 metre target event, bronze in the field and another bronze in the 3D event (shooting at foam animal targets). Beckwith’s third-place finish in 3D was the only non-American top-five finish in that category.

“We were shooting [with] longbows, so we had no sights

[on the bow] ... We had to shoot wood arrows, which is a real challenge, so we took our own equipment, which by the way, when it went through customs proved to be interesting,” Hutchings said.

“It was all in the woods [or open field] in extreme terrain – uphills, downhills, gulleys. There were very few flat shots, like you might see around here. It was a very hilly countryside.”

While the landscape and sheer distance of the targets proved to be a challenge, it was more the climate that got to the two North Coast participants.

“[It was] extremely hot and muggy, sticky and humid. Your clothing is just sticking to you,” said Hutchings.

“It was crazy. When we got rain, it would get the ground wet, but when you’re walking through the woods, doing two of the events and then the heat came out, it started to evaporate all the rain. But it was held in this canopy and it just became a sauna box and you started dripping like crazy,” said Beckwith.

On their off-time between the eight days they spent in West Virginia from June 28 to July 5, the two visited the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum and enjoyed the sights that went along with it.

“They had the space shuttle and planes right from the history of flight to World War One to World War Two to the [US B-29] Enola Gay [aircraft] that dropped the atomic bomb in Hiroshima [in 1945],” said Beckwith.

Fittingly, though Hutchings’ first-choice for a bow had broken in a previous Terrace shoot, his backup longbow that he used to compete in the Games with, was given to him as a retirement gift from the Prince Rupert Fire Department, along with arrows and a quiver.

“Seniors’ Games is coming up later in August, I’m hoping to have [my other one] to go shoot with,” said the archer.

“I will definitely go again because it’s such a great experience” said Beckwith after the tourney ended.

CHSS to teach life-

savingBY KEVIN CAMPBELL PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

It will soon be more likely that for every life-threatening emergency happening in Prince Rupert, someone on hand will know just what to do.

In late June, seven Charles Hays Secondary School (CHSS) teachers underwent lifesaving training, learning CPR and defibrillator skills as well as topics pertaining to heart health.

Because of their new training, it’s expected over 150 students will learn these lifesaving skills every year at CHSS.

It’s all made possible by the Advanced Coronary Treatment (ACT) Foundation and British Columbia Emergency Health Services, who as community partners with CHSS, have helped bring the program to the north.

“These are lifesaving skills that students will be able to bring to their current and future families and communities,” said ACT foundation executive director Sandra Clarke in a release.

Thirty training mannequins and four automated external defibrillator units have also been received by the high school.

“What I really love is the way I feel aft er a good run—it’s a great way to clear my head. I can feel my energy increase and mood improve

almost immediately, thanks to natural endorphins,” says Amber Sheasgreen, an active member of many local run-ning programs and races.

Th ere are some simple questions you should ask your-self before you begin your training. Sheasgreen suggests: “If you decide to train for a half marathon you should ask yourself what is the longest distance you have ever run? And when was the last time you ran that distance?”

If your answer is that you have run 15 kilometres to 20 kilometres recently, then your training schedule can be shortened and you can focus on other aspects such as speed. However, if it was only 5 or 10 kilometres that you ran in the last few months, Sheasgreen recommends that you create a schedule for yourself to work up the distance and endurance needed for the race you are training for.

Sheasgreen prescribes initial self-evaluations in order to ensure you do not overwork yourself and risk being injured before race day.

If you are preparing for a race up a mountain or in the outdoors such as the Mount Hays Quickclimb when com-pared to one on fl at ground, Sheasgreen says your training approach should be diff erent.

“Cross training off ers signifi cant benefi ts in any type of race or sport, but your training should include hill climbs, intervals, stairs, and leg workouts such as squats and lunges if you are preparing for a race up a mountain or one that has hilly terrain.”

Sheasgreen begins with a self-evaluation of her body’s physical and mental condition, how long she has until race day, what she needs to improve on, and if she has enough time to be fully prepared for the race. Next, she sets aside time to run at least three times per week, including ele-ments of cross training, depending on the type of race or what she needs to improve.

Sheasgreen says, “I may even put a training schedule to-

gether so I know where I should be in regards to my train-ing aft er every couple of weeks.” Finally, Sheasgreen seeks out a running partner or group.

When it comes to training with others, Sheasgreen has plenty of experience. She is the president of Rupert Run-ners and says she fi nds running in pairs or in a group great motivation to get out on those ugly weather days or if peo-ple are having trouble peeling themselves off their couches.

Sheasgreen recommends fi nding a running buddy who runs at a similar speed and has a similar skill level and to work with that individual to push and challenge each other along the way. She says, “Groups such as Learn to Run are not only great ways to get out and meet other runners, but to have fun too!”

Sheasgreen prefers to run in the morning before work, especially in the summer when it is light out quite early, or right aft er work. She aims to run two to three times a week at least, but if she is training for a race she will make sure one of the runs is long, as that is usually the type of race she is training for.

“If I am unable to get my runs in, I try to make up with

other cardio cross training activities such as playing sports,” Sheasgreen says. On days when she is feeling motivated and focused, “I will add in two days of weight training into my schedule, but will also make sure to give myself one rest day, which is important to help my body recover.”

If you want to start running recreationally or competi-tively, here are a few quick tips she had to off er:q First, get off the couch, grab a friend, put those shoes on, set some goals, and get out that door!q Start slow – even if it is by starting to walk on a regular basis.q Finally, check out the Rupert Runners Learn to Run Program that runs from February to May every year!

Five years ago, Sheasgreen participated in her fi rst Mount Hays Quickclimb. Prior to participating in the event, she admits, “I had never really been active so I decided I would give running a shot with a friend, as I love the outdoors and wanted to support our amazing local trail network. I am looking forward to participating again in the event this year, helping out where I can, and promoting it within the community.”
