News
As for the reports of coal dumping in 2010, Gurney said the port authority was aware of the incident, but was unaware RTI had been issued a warning letter as a result.
Des Nobles, from the TBuck Suzuki Foundation, said he wasn’t surprised to find out RTI had been issued the warning letter in 2010.
“The allegations that have been brought forward are fairly well-substantiated ... that hasn’t just started, it’s obviously been going on for some time,” he said.
RTI released a statement on May 30 announcing the operation is taking allegations seriously, and is conducting an investigation into the matter. The statement also said RTI “is willing to discuss the environmental impacts of its terminals operations with federal regulators.
“Controlling our inventory is not just important for the environment, it is a crucial part of running our business,” said George Dorsey, chief operating officer of RTI.
“Handling, storing, and transporting coal is how the terminal gets paid, so we make every effort to minimize any kind of product loss.”
The statement said since 2005, RTI has operated according to two International
Organization for Standardization (ISO) guidelines, both the Environmental Management Systems (ISO 14001) and Occupational Health and Safety Management (ISO 18001). Additionally, since 2008, RTI has also operated according to a third ISO guideline, Quality Management Systems (ISO 19001).
The statement said the coal export terminal is audited each year by two independent agencies for ISO certification purposes, and has met or exceeded all ISO guidelines since the audits began. RTI was re-certified according to all three guidelines in 2011.
RTI also completed internal compliance audits for Health, Safety and Environment in October 2012, and its integrated business system in April 2013.
“RTI air and effluent discharges and associated controls have been approved and reviewed by regulatory authorities” said Tony Di Nino of Envirochem Services
Inc., RTI’s third-party environmental auditor.
“RTI is in good standing with its permit and regulatory requirements, and RTI is not the subject of any regulatory pollution abatement orders.”
The statement also pointed out RTI became the first terminal in Prince Rupert to join Green Marine, a voluntary environmental compliance program for the maritime industry through North America.
Nobles said RTI launching an investigation shows the corporation is concerned about the allegations, which he said is a good thing, but said RTI
operating under ISO and Green Marine program doesn’t give him any great degree of surety.
“Those are industry-led initiatives and don’t involve a great deal of third-party monitoring. I hope RTI is seriously dealing with the issues there, if they are there, and making everything what it should be,” he said.
RTI said it will continue to demonstrate its commitment to environmental stewardship “by engineering and integrating new and improved environmental control measures in an ongoing effort to exceed all applicable regulatory requirements”.
Environment Canada and the Prince Rupert Port Authority are investigating reports of improper environmental procedures at Ridley Terminals, including a drainage system that leaves settling ponds, such as the one above, mainly empty.
“We make every effort to minimize any kind
of product loss.”

As residents around Prince Rupert wait to hear the plans of city councillor and MLA-elect Jennifer Rice, most who sit around council chambers with her are questioning if holding both positions can be achieved.
Rice has indicated that the question is when the best time to step down would be to have the least impact on the community, but fellow elected officials said they can’t see her holding both positions for any period of time.
“I am happy for her, that’s her new position, but she will have to step down... How can she possibly hold both? It is a conflict of interest,” added Coun. Nelson Kinney.
“It would be very hard to do. Usually when you are an MLA you have joint committees, and if you are on one of these they hold forums around the province. I think that would make it difficult to give both the needed attention,” said Mayor Jack Mussallem.
Coun. Anna Ashley said she wishes Rice the best, but that new MLAs will have a lot of time needed to learn the ins-and-outs of the job.
“There is a lot of time expected as an MLA, and council is a part-time position that takes a lot of your time ... Jennifer doesn’t do anything halfway, so I think for her own sake it would be too tough for her
to do both,” she said. Whether or not a byelection would be
held depends on when Rice leaves council. Corporate administrator and 2011 chief elections officer Robert Grodecki estimates a byelection would cost the City of Prince Rupert between $15,000 and $25,000 for advertising, staff time and other requirements of the election process.
“Most of the costs are fixed ... the rules and regulations to be followed are the same whether it is a full election or for just one seat,” he explained.
“You have to do the same preparation for the candidate packages, all the advertising is the same. You still have to do advance polling and have to divide the electorate into different areas.”
At the same time, remuneration for a city councillor is approximately $1,000 per month, meaning if Rice were to resign in the new year the total cost to the city would be $8,000.
“I have no idea if she will come back in June, July, August, or when, to resign from
council. If she were to tender it sooner than later, I could see the city having a byelection in September or October,” said Mussallem.
“That is a lot of money for us to put out given the position the city is in,” said Kinney.
Ashley, however, said there needs to be a full and committed council sitting in the chamber.
“The fact is that for a lot of stuff we do on council, it’s important to have as many viewpoints on council as possible. When it comes to voting, it’s best to have seven voices,” she said, noting it also creates procedural concerns.
“It does put us in a bit of a quandary because with six there is more likely to be a tie and in the event of a tie the motion is defeated ... I think having six people there is not a good number. I think there is a
reason we have seven councillors and we need seven councillors.”
For her part, Rice maintains she will step down when she feels it’s best.
“I was elected two weeks ago and the writ has not yet been returned. As I’ve said before I will be stepping down from council at an appropriate time,” she said.
Response to the election of municipal councillors and mayors around the province has been varied. Dawson Creek Mayor and Peace River South MLA-elect Mike Bernier resigned his seat on May 24 to trigger a September byelection, Penticton Mayor and MLA-elect Dan Ashton stepped down and offered to pay for the byelection, Pitt Meadows councillor and Maple Ridge – Pitt Meadows MLA-elect Doug Bing has not decided if he will stay on council or not but said he would forgo his salary if he stays on council.
The Northern View archivesThose in council chambers are questioning MLA-elect Jennifer Rice’s ability to hold both the MLA and councillor position.
“It is a conflict of interest.”

Rice should step down: CouncillorsNews
As much as city hall may not like to hear it, the phrase “land grab” seems an appropriate description as more details
become known about the boundary expansion. The gist of it is the city would engulf a huge
area of land currently under the management of either the province or the Skeena - Queen Charlotte Regional District to have a greater say about what does or doesn’t happen there. Those
residents currently occupying the lands would see a roughly 50 per cent tax hike without getting any additional services or amenities and the regional district would see its income drop, according to numbers from city planner Zeno Krekic, by about $60,000 in taxation and grants-in-lieu.
The city would have the exact same powers
over the development of the land that the regional district has now. But, Mayor Mussallem says, the city has the resources to enforce any regulations it puts in place while those in the outlying areas don’t.
Basically, the city is taking money out of the pockets of its neighbours because they can.
But can they really? Right now the City of Prince Rupert is far
from being in the best shape imaginable. Three senior managers have left in the first five months of the year, CUPE had to bail council out of job and service cuts with mystery savings that not even former chief financial officer Dan Rodin knew about and the spectre of a budget shortfall of almost $1-million coming next year is far from a distant memory.
Hell, the mayor himself referred to Prince Rupert as “Port Edward’s poor cousin” during the May 27 council meeting while talking with Pacific Northwest LNG.
That doesn’t sound to me like a government that has the financial or staff resources to oversee an expansion that would pretty much double the land it currently manages.
As one elected official in Port Edward once told me, the city should focus on properly managing the land it has before it looks at adding more.

“Land grab” seems appropriate
Jennifer Rice must apologize then resign.For the MLA-elect to suggest I am
infatuated with her, as she penned in a letter to the editor last week, is asinine, juvenile and libelous.
The only hope is Ms. Rice doesn’t own a dictionary and her choice of the word was a mistake.
For a politician who has publicly stated she wants a critic portfolio in the next legislature, she certainly appears unable to accept criticism.
She can dish it out but can’t take it.Instead of answering serious questions on
LNG terminals in Prince Rupert or the obvious conflict of interest of remaining a city councillor, who continues to collect thousands of Prince Rupert taxpayer dollars and cheats voters out of their right to cast a ballot to reinstate the full representation they deserve on city council, she chose to obfuscate and play the sex card.
We may appear to have Prince Rupert’s answer to Mayor Rob Ford of Toronto. When pressed on an issue, instead of standing up and giving a direct answer, Ms. Rice, like Mr. Ford, deflects attention away from the issue and “attacks” the messenger — please note, I refrained from the gun reference normally associated with that phrase.
Ms. Rice needs to understand while she is charged with
representing the North Coast riding, not everyone in the riding agrees with her.
Even members of her own party have openly disagreed with her. Something that isn’t surprising and also something that ultimately led to the demise of the NDP in the last provincial election.
The union movement, which is the foundation of the NDP, is beginning to understand that their party has been hijacked by the far-left environmental movement. They are beginning to understand that the environmental policies advocated by the likes of Ms. Rice are endangering union jobs.
That understanding cost the NDP the election.Don’t believe me?
How about Nathan Cullen?“I think how the Kinder Morgan decision [the twinning of
an oil pipeline to Vancouver] was made ... played a role in the results,” Cullen said.
Just as her role in Victoria will be to hold the government accountable and present dissenting opinion, the same holds true for newspaper columnists.
To suggest that doing one’s job and duty to hold their MLA-elect accountable is infatuation is plain ignorant.
Jennifer Rice must apologize for the statement.Jennifer Rice must resign.

Leave the mural aloneEditor: Re: Mural on McBride Street.I moved my family here in 2011 and the one
thing we found most fascinating is the mural on McBride Street.
All the murals in Prince Rupert are beautiful but I find the one on McBride street a part of the history of Prince Rupert and I am fascinated that it has lasted such a long time. I don’t think painting over it would be a good thing, maybe touching it up some yes, but painting over it would be like taking a piece of history away from such a historical town.
The mural brings meaning to a community that shows the strength of each individual and the community its self. Painting over it with a new mural would be destroying the meaning of the community. I do not see it as unseen or unlike able to look at. It is a very beautiful
part of Prince Rupert that many whom have moved away or came here as a tourist look forward to seeing when they do come back.
You take away the mural, you take away a piece of history and a piece of the community. I feel that this should be a decision the community should vote on and have a say on.

Pick up your pooch’s poopEditor: This is a plea to all dog owners; please pick
up after your dogs! I am appalled at the amount of dog poop in
this city, not only in parks but on the sidewalks. Just yesterday I was walking the boardwalk with my family between Rotary Park and Cow Bay, only to see more than five separate dog poops on the walk way ... really? How can you not notice that your dog has stopped, squatted, is pooping in the middle of a paved sidewalk and then you just walk away? Really?
It seems that every time I am outside I am either dodging poop or stepping in it, like I
did on a run the other night. The city has done something very nice and has provided us with poop bags. How much does it take to pick up a bag and clean up after your dog?
Also, I am saddened by the state of the few grassy parks, specifically the waterfront (Rotary Park). It’s a perfect place for young children to play and yet they aren’t able to because of the poop lying around everywhere.
It’s time people took responsibility for their pets and cleaned up after them so we can all enjoy the beautiful city we live in.

Relay one to rememberEditor:Thank you, thank you, thank you to Carrie
Coley, Bonnie Corey, the Skeena River Relay committee, and the dozens of volunteers involved in this year’s event!
Your countless hours of hard work and planning showed, and made for a fun, safe and inclusive day for everyone. Thank you, also, to the local businesses and corporate sponsors for your contributions.
Each year, our team looks forward to an awesome day, and the run this past Saturday was
no exception. Taking part in such a large scale, volunteer-driven event sparked conversations about how we would like to volunteer more within our community, to keep things like this going. I am sure that other teams felt the same way.
To everyone involved, we appreciate your dedication to the Skeena River Relay and hope that, this week, you are relaxing with your feet up — I know we are!
See you in 2014. Whitney Magliocchi

Opinion
Environmental rules are a global concernAn international
system of rules is part of the foun-
dation of safe shipping practices in Canadian ports such as Prince Rupert. These rules define stan-dard navigational practices and training of seafarers. By following these rules, trading nations are able to move goods safely and efficiently.
The United Nations International Maritime Organization is a global regulatory body with 170 member states, including Canada and many of its trading partners. In addition to developing formal guidelines for the safe and secure transit of international vessels, the IMO is also responsible for creating guidelines that help prevent pollution of the marine environment. The IMO is the international regulator, but the responsibility to monitor compliance rests with member countries as long as vessels are in their waters.
Canada is very involved in contributing to conventions that are respected worldwide. Once adopted by the IMO, they are incorporated into Canadian law through the Canada Shipping Act.
One of the primary ways Canada and other IMO members ensure the safety of their waters is through Port State Control (PSC), a ship inspection program. Foreign vessels are boarded and inspected to ensure they are complying with major international marine conventions.
Canada is a signatory member of two PSC agreements, the Paris and Tokyo Memorandums Of Understanding. Each of these MOUs establish streamlined inspections across member nations and creates shared databases to track commercial vessels. In Canada these inspections are carried out by Transport Canada’s Inspection and Operations Standards division, which targets approximately 20% of all vessels calling on Canadian ports.
Another convention is the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships (MARPOL), which covers both operational and accidental causes. Improvements by MARPOL over the last 30 years have included mandatory double hulls for all oil tankers, banned discharge of any noxious substances 12 miles from all shores, a complete ban on disposal of all forms of plastic into the ocean, and mandatory energy efficiency measures to reduce ship emissions. In the last decade MARPOL has reduced the global maximum allowable sulfur content in marine heavy fuel to 3.5%. By 2020 it will be further reduced to 0.5%.
Last year, the North American Emissions Control Area (ECA) was introduced. This convention came into full force in Canada last month and applies to all ships operating within 200 nautical miles of shore. Beginning May 8, 2013, vessels transiting this area must use fuel with a sulfur content of 1% or less, or face harsh fines. The sulfur content of fuel will be further reduced as of January 1, 2015, when it will drop to a maximum of 0.1%.
“We’re proud to support the work done by Transport Canada to protect the integrity of the environment at the Port of Prince Rupert, and to uphold the world-class standards that Canadian ports are known for,” said Gary Paulson, Harbour Master at the Prince Rupert Port Authority. “Through the enforcement of conventions like MARPOL and ECA, and by continuing to improve the practices of our own operations, we contribute to a reduction of the overall environmental footprint of the global shipping industry.”

The City of Prince Rupert is maintaining the process to expand Prince Rupert’s municipal boundaries is going to be a marathon, not a sprint.
The first and second open house as part of the marathon process were held last week, with the city coming across questions about the B.C. Treaty process, tax increases and more.
At the first open house held on May 29, Prince Rupert Mayor Jack Mussallem, city planner Zeno Krekic and corporate administrator Robert Grodecki were in attendance, first giving a short presentation before answering people’s questions regarding the boundary expansion. The purpose of the open houses was to gather input from the public on the expansion.
“We are taking all the questions and comments [from the open houses] and putting it into a package for council to consider,” Krekic said.
One individual that spoke at last Wednesday’s open house was David Leask from Metlakatla, who said the expansion is worrisome for his community.
“There’s big concerns within our community that this is going to be restrictive to us, and limit our ability to expand and have access to areas that are suitable for economic development, recreation and practice our culture,” Leask said.
“It’s viewed as a threat to any potential expansion for Metlakatla,” Leask said later at the event.
With the BC Treaty Process is currently underway, some at the open house questioned what that could mean if the proposed expansion went through, and why the city doesn’t
wait until that process is over. Mussallem said it’s being done
now instead of waiting until then to ensure sooner rather than later that the city has land-use planning for the area which would directly impact the community-at-large. Mussallem also said any issues arising with the boundary expansion and treaty process would be dealt with by the provincial and federal governments, and assured the expansion process wouldn’t hinder it in any way.
Mussallem assured people that the city has had and will continue to have discussions with First Nations communities potentially affected by the expansion.
Landowners expressed worries that
their taxes would double, something Mussallem said wouldn’t happen because it would be unfair. Mussallem also ensured landowners would have their say in the zoning process. The city reiterated that the expansion wouldn’t change ownership of the land, but the governance of the land.
“If the property is going to be zoned, people will be able to participate in that as to what sort of zoning they would like to see,” Mussallem said.
Prince Rupert’s Larry Golden asked how the city would cover the costs of services such as water, sewer and garbage pick-up for landowners taken in by the expansion, and how Prince Rupert’s current tax base would cover that cost.
Mussallem said there is no master plan right now for that, it would be predicated on the developments as they came along.
Coun. Anna Ashley was in attendance along with several other councillors, and reminded people the city will take these concerns and attempt to resolves them before moving forward with the process.

The final numbers from the 2013 provincial election are in, and far fewer people voted in the North Coast than in the 2009 election.
This year, Elections BC tallied 8,140 votes in the riding, down from 8,890 four years ago. While the total number of registered voters is still being calculated, voter turnout is already down based based on numbers from April 23. At the time there were 14,956 voters registered on the North Coast leading to a current voter turnout of 54.4 per cent compared to a final voter turnout of 57.1 per cent last election.
Voter turnout has been dropping since the 2001 election, and is down more than 10 per cent from the 66 per cent seen in that election.
MLA-elect Jennifer Rice said called the drop in voter turnout “unfortunate”.
“My hope would be that people exercise their democratic rights and participate in the political process. North Coast wasn’t the only riding experiencing drops in voter turnout. I believe close to 20 other ridings experienced drops as well. While its great to see an overall increase provincially from the last election in 2009, I still think we could see better participation across the province,” she said, noting the key to turning the trend around is to make politics more interesting.
“Finding creative ways to make politics more engaging for people might be a way to increase participation. Overall, whether at the municipal, provincial or the federal level of politics, I think we need to do a better job of engaging youth and young adults. This is the demographic least likely to vote.”
With the final numbers, NDP MLA-elect Rice widened the gap reported on May14 between her and Liberal candidate Judy Fraser. Rice received a total of 4,617 votes, 276 more than the preliminary count, good for 56.7 per cent of the popular vote. Fraser’s vote count jumped by 152 when the absentee ballots were counted, leaving her with 33.1 per cent of the popular vote. Hondo Arendt’s tally rose from 787 to 831, a difference of 44, leaving him with 10.2 per cent.
While voter turnout on the North Coast fell, across the province it rose by eight per cent from the record low of 51 per cent seen in 2009.

The 2013 Prince Rupert Relay for Life raised $66,000 for the Canadian Cancer Society.
Pattullo Field was a sea of activity throughout the day on Saturday, as people with a variety of stories but a common goal of raising as much money as possible for cancer research, support programs and prevention initiatives took to the track.
Judy Levelton, Sheila Seidemann and Cathy Quane were the main organizers of this year’s event and, although slightly more was raised last year, the ladies are extremely pleased with participation numbers this year. In total 224 people took part in the relay on 25 teams, which is nearly double of 120 participants and 13 teams in 2012.
The event started off with the survivor ceremony and lap, where cancer survivors and those currently battling the disease led the pack for the first lap, sporting yellow T-shirts. Caregivers were next, followed by all other participants to represent that they have survivors’ backs in their fight.
While all survivors deserve recognition for their heroism, the 2013 relay had a new kind of survivor.
Bandit, a Siberian-Husky cross, wore a yellow bandanna around his neck with owner Crystal Lorette, captain of the Rotary Club relay team, assisting him around the track. Bandit was diagnosed with bone cancer in his lower right jaw last November, and had to have it removed. The six-year-old dog has now been cancer-free for almost six months.
Joining Nancy’s fight
Following the survivor’s lap, participants started relaying. Most teams had members taking turns walking the track, but Brian Des Champ from team Nancy’s Determination walked for approximately 10 hours straight. Brian walked more than 105 laps around the track, or 26 miles, the equivalent of a marathon.
Des Champ said he definitely had a blister on his foot, but that it was a small price to pay to support those battling the disease.
“I can handle a bit of pain today, tomorrow, and maybe Monday. It’s nothing compared to the pain felt by those who’ve passed from cancer and those who are fighting cancer,” he said.
“It’s one of those things that we have to keep fighting, and today I fought through a few laps. It’s not a big deal. The biggest deal is [the people struggling]. To me, this was pretty easy.”
This was the first relay members of Nancy’s Determination participated in, doing so in honour of Nancy Des Champ.
Nancy, Brian’s sister-in-law, found out she had cancer in February and her determination to overcome the disease
inspired all who know her. Nancy was diagnosed with cancer of
the bile duct, which spread to her spine and liver. Although her body killed off the cancer in her bile duct, she has Stage 4 cancer in her spine and liver.
Jamie Pritchard, a co-worker of Nancy’s from the Canadian Grain Commission, put together the team with the help of Courtney Lowe. Most of Nancy’s Determination are co-workers of hers, with some family members joining the team as well.
Everyone on the team got together to honour Nancy who, throughout her battle, has shown incredible perseverance.
“She had surgery, and rods put in her back and had to put cement in one of her vertebra ... less than 24 hours after the surgery she sat up on the edge of the bed, less than 48 hours after she stood and made a couple steps. That’s what gave me the power to push through this today, seeing what she pushed through in the last three months,” Brian said.
Nancy is modest about her drive to get better, and said it’s what she had to do.
The day prior to the relay, Nancy returned to Prince Rupert after receiving radiation in Vancouver. Nancy was able to walk nine laps throughout the day, and said while it was painful she did it for all the others going through cancer and to show support for her team members.
“My teammates put it all together, so the least I could do is come out and support them and cheer them on,” she
said. “A few months ago we didn’t think
she’d be able to make it here to even walk any of it. Through her determination and fight she walked and is doing really well. She’s got a battle ahead of her, but we’re all beside her,” said Brian, who individually raised the third-highest amount of money at this year’s relay.
“I think the people that deserve the applause isn’t me. I walked a marathon, but they’re fighting a marathon.”
“I didn’t think he would walk all day... It was incredible,” Nancy said.
Fighting back
Breast cancer survivor Debi Lyn Smith spoke for the Fight Back portion of the event, talking about her book Running From Cancer.
“There are options; you can help yourself ... my book is about standing up to cancer instead of running from it,” she said.
Smith went through chemotherapy, two surgeries, and radiation for breast cancer, and two years later is cancer-free. Smith now hopes her book can help others make the right choices to avoid getting the disease.
“Cancer’s like a big lottery ... everybody’s born with a few tickets, and the more things you do that help cancer to form, the more lottery tickets you get ... the more you have, the better chance you have of winning the cancer lottery. I’m not saying if you do everything right you won’t get cancer because it is a lottery, but it’s all about risks and
chances. Do what you can now,” she said.
Relay wrap-up
The relay ended with the luminary ceremony and walk, a ceremony that remembers and honours people who either lost or won their battles with cancer. People purchase luminary bags throughout the day, and write a personal message and name of someone they know who has been diagnosed with the disease. The bags are placed around the track with a lit candle inside, lighting up people’s messages while participants make their last lap.
This year’s top fundraising team was St. Paul’s Lutheran Church led by Sheila Seidemann, who raised $3,610, followed by Mario’s Angels lead by Jen Silva, raising $2,786. The St. Paul’s Lutheran Church has relayed year-after-year, honouring biological and church family members who have taken on the disease.
The top individual fundraiser was Jen Silva, gathering $1,755 for the Canadian Cancer Society, followed by Michelle Ryan of Ethan’s Wheels who collected $1,395.
It was Silva and her team’s first year participating in the relay, honouring her late husband Mario Silva who passed away on June 9, 2012 after losing his battle to cancer.
“I’m very proud of myself. I’m glad I was able to do it in memory of Mario,” said Silva, who was collecting funds for approximately a month-and-a-half.
“It was a beautiful day. I’m so proud of my team, and thankful for everyone that came out.”
People are still able to donate to the Canadian Cancer Society through Prince Rupert’s Relay for Life event, either online or by contacting Cathy at 250-624-9566.

Dayna McKay is preparing for the second leg of Into the Sea-Cancer Free The Journey Home this June, when she will swim from Prince Rupert to Lax Kw’alaams to raise awareness and funds in hopes of finding a cure for cancer.
This year will be the 43-year-old’s second time doing the 60 kilometre swim, first completing the swim from Lax Kw’alaams to Prince Rupert last year in honour of her uncle.
McKay said she was heart-broken when she found out her uncle, Billy Sampson, had been diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2009. McKay and Sampson are extremely close, with McKay saying she thinks of her uncle as her brother.
“I didn’t know what to say. I wished I could do something or say something to take it away. I wanted him to focus on something other than cancer,” McKay said.
McKay decided on doing a swimming event because she was unaware of one of this magnitude being used to raise money and awareness for cancer research.
Last year McKay ended up leaving 20 minutes early because she was anxious to start the journey. Within a few hours, McKay realized the currents were much strong than she had expected.
Last year, McKay swam nearly the whole 19.5 hours it took her to swim from Lax Kw’alaams to Prince Rupert, only stopping for nutrient breaks. McKay said stopping for five minute breaks felt long because she just wanted to keep going and get to Prince Rupert on the same day as Aboriginal Day.
Although she didn’t arrive at six p.m. as she had planned, McKay was still greeted by more than 1,000 supporters and representatives from a number of nations,
tribes and communities from around the Northwest when she was pulled out of the water just before 11 p.m. last June 21.
“I did it all for my uncle... If I could swim around the world to take his cancer away, I would in a heart beat,” McKay said.
McKay said she expects her arrival at Lax Kw’alaams to be more emotional than last year’s arrival to Prince Rupert because she will be returning home to all of the people who have supported her through her efforts.
McKay is already training for The Journey Home, spending approximately six hours a day swimming, jogging and weight lifting around her work schedule.
After completing this year’s swim, McKay will have swam a 120 kilometre round trip, bringing her one step closer to her goal of helping find a cure for all cancer
and raising as much awareness as she can along the way. McKay hopes to complete The Journey Home in under 19 hours, beating the time of last year’s swim.
McKay will be leaving Prince Rupert on Friday, June 28 from the Lightering Dock at approximately six p.m. after a send-off ceremony, and arriving on Rose Island in Lax Kw’alaams around one p.m.
The Into the Sea Cancer Free team is asking for financial sponsorship, as well as any in kind donations that will be used to make this journey possible. Anyone interested in making a donation is asked to check out www.intotheseacancerfree.com or follow the swim on Facebook.
Funds raised through McKay’s swims are donated to the Richard Wesley Memorial group, as well as the BC Cancer Foundation.

Riding to conquer cancerBy Martina Perry PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View
Three Prince Rupert cancer survivors will once again push themselves to their limits this summer, participating in the Ride to Conquer Cancer, a two-day cycling event that has individuals ride from Surrey to Seattle.
Team Prince Rupert, consisting of Francis Wolfe, Sandy Giordano and Gordie Simonds, are currently fundraising and training for this year’s ride beginning on June 15. For Giordano, this will be Ride to Conquer Cancer number two, with Wolfe and Simonds participating for their fifth year.
Wolfe first signed up for the ride in 2009, after completing his first operation for bladder cancer. Wolfe said he learned about the Ride to Conquer Cancer on television, and figured it would be a great way to give back and prevent others from being diagnosed with the disease. While Wolfe’s bladder cancer came back two years later, and he was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2011, he is cancer-free today. Wolfe recently had his one-year check up for bladder cancer with no concerns, and his prostate is being monitored, however it hasn’t grown in size.
Wolfe said thinking about friends and relatives who are survivors, and all the people lost to the disease, helps motivated him during the ride because money raised
benefits the BC Cancer Foundation and supports leading clinicians, scientists and researchers attempting to find a cure.
The same year Wolfe signed up for his first Ride to Conquer Cancer, Simonds agreed to join him. At the time Simonds was battling esophageal cancer and signed on for the ride in March of 2009 after completing a major surgery a few months prior.
Today, Simonds is cancer-free and living in Sooke, British Columbia. He will meet up with Wolfe, and Giordano in Vancouver before the three get on their bikes for the ride.
Giordano was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma in 2007, and underwent a stem cell transplant, thanks to his sister Gina, to survive. Today Giordano thanks his wife, family, friends and the BMT Unit at the Vancouver General Hospital for his recovery. He wanted to give back somehow, and support those battling cancer and honour those who lost their lives to the disease. Giordano also heard about the Ride to Conquer Cancer on television, and contacted Simonds knowing he was involved with the ride.
Giordano said after being diagnosed with cancer, he wanted to do more with his life than sitting around.
“It gives you a better outlook. It makes you want to explore and do more things,” he said.
“After all of this, [I realized] if it
happened again, it could be all over.”Giordano’s first ride was treacherous
weather, but said otherwise he enjoyed it. “We were soaked before we started,” he
said, with Wolfe adding, “It was just pounding down rain. When
we got to Mount Vernon some of the tents were actually floating.”
Wolfe and Giordano said the camaraderie between all the riders helps keep them motivated during the ride, hearing the stories of everyone involved keeps them going. The two also attribute the support of Ride to Conquer volunteers
and strangers along the route that support riders with cheers that make doing the ride so enjoyable.
Wolfe and Giordano both agreed the most emotional part of the ride is crossing the finish line.
“There’s so many people cheering there,” Giordano said.
Each Ride to Conquer Cancer rider must raise $2,500, with Team Prince Rupert well on their way. Anyone interested in donating to the team can do so online at www.conquercancer.ca or by calling Sandy at 624-5135 or Francis at 627-1838.
Gunther Golinia from the Prince Rupert Wildlife Rehab Shelter accepts a $1,000 donation from Val Hand of the Canadian Fishing Company. The donation was made on behalf of Hand’s retirement from Canadian Fishing Company. The money was a combination of donations from Val’s co-workers, the Canadian Fishing Co. and then topped off by Val and her husband Eric to come up with the $1,000.

One yearLNG open houseBy Shaun ThomaS PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View
Pacific Northwest LNG will be back in Prince Rupert tonight to provide an update on the Lelu Island LNG terminal with an open house from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the North Coast Convention Centre, and the company says it is coming with new information and imagery.
“We hope that as many people in the community as possible come out and take a look at the project. We’re bringing up over a dozen people working on the project to answer any technical questions people may have, from
environmental studies to site design,” Spencer Sproule, senior advisor of corporate affairs, said.
Along as questioning representatives from Stantec, the environmental consultant for the terminal, this will be the first time residents will get a look at the visual impact of the project.
“We have a baseline photo of the view from Port Edward school, and we have used modelling to show what the facility would look like from the school with the storage tanks and other buildings,” said Sproule.
Pacific Northwest LNG is currently undergoing its environmental assessment.
CityWest expanding to
HoustonBy Jackie Lieweun HOUSTON / Houston Today
CityWest is interested in expanding their services to Houston.
“We now offer the fastest residential internet in the northwest and we are looking to increase speeds even more,” said Donovan Dias, director of sales and marketing for CityWest.
Dias and CityWest CEO Don Holkestad talked to the Houston Chamber of Commerce at a recent meeting, trying to gauge the level of local interest in having a new service provider in town.
In Houston, CityWest currently provides only analog cable, but Dias says they want to be the other telephone company in the area, as well as provide internet and T.V.
Holkestad says they want to expand Houston service if there is interest, but they aren’t planning to get to Houston until 2015.
CityWest provides over 300 T.V. channels, internet speeds up to 20 megabits, and has 800 gigabits of bandwidth available, said Dias.
He says they are focused on delivering faster and faster internet speeds, WiFi hotspots, and fibre to home, and want to provide an alternative to Telus in this area.
Asked by Troy Rietsma whether distance from their station affects costs or services, Holkstad said it wouldn’t in their plan - the farthest guy out would get the same number of megabits.
Holkestad also says that though bandwidth is shared by an area, they only put a certain number of homes on one fibre-node and if people are being limited, they can add a node and double the capacity that way.

“Spotlight on Talent” runs tonightBy Martina PerryTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
PRINCE RUPERT - Tonight the Dance Academy of Prince Rupert will be performing “Spotlight on Talent” at the Lester Centre of the Arts as their year end recital.
“This recital encompasses all discipline of dance including bal-let, tap, jazz, musical theater, ac-robatics, hip-hop, and a mini pro-duction,” said Teresa Mackereth, owner of The Dance Academy.
Over 150 dancers from the Dance Academy of Prince Ru-pert, ages three and up, will be performing throughout the eve-ning. At the beginning of the presentation, danc-ers will be putting on a mini-production of the classic story “Alice in Wonderland”. This pro-duction will included the beloved characters including the Cheshire Cat, the Mad Hatter, the Queen of Hearts and, of course, Alice.
“Basically, we put the ‘Alice in Wonder-land’ production at the beginning so that there would be a story line at the beginning of the evening. Then we want-ed to more of a variety
for the rest of the evening,” said Mackereth, adding that in previ-ous years they had found it diffi -cult to feature all forms of dance in the production without making the story line “tedious”.
Dancers who did an excel-lent job at this year’s BC An-nual will have the opportunity to showcase their winning piec-es to the crowd and there will be three solos performed by danc-ers who placed highly at the BC Annual Dance Competition. As well, dancers who created their own pieces will perform them to the crowd. Kimberly Truong cho-reographed two pieces, including
a group dance and a musical the-atre piece that will both be fea-tured in the show. A ballet demi character by Hannah Douglas will be featured that evening, as well as a musical theatre presentation choreographed by Lola Clout-hier, who this year became the youngest dancer to ever win fi rst place in the BC Annual Dance Competition.
The presentation will be a one night showcase, which will get underway at seven p.m. Tickets are available at all Ap-plause Centres or people can call 250-627-8888 for more information.

Northern Health delays accommodation program cancellationBy Shaun ThomasTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
PRINCE RUPERT - Northern Health has put on hold plans to elimi-nate its medical stay pro-gram, which provides cheap accommodations for people coming to town for medical pur-poses, until further con-sultations with affected communities can take place.
Under the program patients coming to the
Prince Rupert Regional Hospital for care were charged a fl at rate of $25 per night, $140 per week or $450 per month to stay at housing set aside for health purposes.
Should the pro-gram be eliminated, pa-tients would instead be given a list of local ho-tels, bed and breakfasts and hostels with medi-cal rates ranging from $45 to $109 per night in the winter to $55 to $129 per night in the
summer. The stays could
range from a night to the better part of a month for those coming to town for maternity and child birth care.
“That is an accom-modation program, it’s not to do with health care for our community. It is a program that we got into, and Northern Health didn’t get into it but BC Housing and the previous health care so-ciety before Northern
Health got into it, and it is about $40,000 a year that we have to add into that program beyond any expense recovery,” explained Northwest Health Services Admin-istrator Sheila Gordon-Payne in discussing the cancellation with city council, adding that no other communities in Northern Health have a similar program in place.
“When we make de-cisions I have to think
about do we spend that $40,000 for accommo-dations in a new climate where a lot of accommo-dation is available or do we spend that $40,000 for our community for
half a nurse or a care aid or a home care nurse. Those are the kinds of decisions that we have to weigh out.”
And while Gordon-Payne will be travel-
ing to Haida Gwaii this week, council will look to work on a response to the planned cancella-tion with offi cials from nearby villages and the regional district.

Although it’s commonly accepted that oil and antifreeze are
not household garbage we can simply throw out, more
than one million litres of used oil ends up in BC
landfi lls every year. When you consider that it
only takes one drop of oil to contaminate a
million drops of water, the problem is clear:
there’s just too many drops to count, too
many to ignore.
BCUOMA is a not-for-profi t
organization that encourages
British Columbians to responsibly
recycle used oil, oil fi lters, oil
containers, used antifreeze and
antifreeze containers. Since the
launch of the program in 2003,
British Columbians have done an
exceptional job of recycling
their used oil materials.

Note: Please make sure to return your used oil materials
during regular business hours for proper disposal and to avoid
any spills and further contamination to the environment.
In a continued effort to encourage higher rates of recovery,
BCUOMA has built a strong support network across the
province. Today, participation includes 219 brand-
owner members, 39 collectors and processors,
500+ return collection facilities and more
than 4,000 generators. In addition,
BCUOMA is expanding its successful
ambassador program this summer
– with two teams of ambassadors
touring the province to educate
and raise awareness of the
importance of used oil and
antifreeze recycling.
By recycling your used oil and

Sheila Wells, the current principal and former principal of Prince Rupert Secondary School, will be moving to Roosevelt Community School.
Susan Kobza, the current principal of Roosevelt and past principal of Seal Cove, will be taking over as the head of Pacific Coast School.

Port Ed spending $33,000 on new bylawsBy Shaun ThomaS PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View
As part of ongoing efforts to prepare for future growth, the District of Port Edward will be spending $33,000 to create one new bylaw and update two “outdated” ones on file.
Part of the revised Official Community Plan (OCP) and Zoning Bylaw, which has already received two readings, calls for an industrial development permit area on the stretch of road connecting Port Edward to Hwy 16. But right now there are no rules governing what that
would look like.“Right now we have a development permit
area, but have no development permit bylaw,” Ron Bedard, chief administrative officer for the District of Port Edward, told council at the May 28 meeting.
The bylaw, which will cost $7,000, will control the use, appearance and development of land and building, prescribe and regulate the purposes that the land will be used for and “protect the District of Port Edward from unsightly, distracting and/or inconsistent development”.
The first revised bylaw is the one related to
subdivision and development servicing, which comes with a $20,000 price tag. This bylaw will regulate all new development in Port Edward, regulate the location, size and use of proposed subdivisions and ensure any future subdivisions conform to the Zoning Bylaw being worked on.
Finally, the district will be looking at a revision to the Mobile Home Park Bylaw, which ensures mobile homes meet current development standards, regulates the design, servicing, extension and establishment of mobile home parks, ensure the parks remain free of litter and debris and regulates the landscaping and more.

Haida Gwaii
BY SHAUN THOMAS PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View
There is an international visitor on Haida Gwaii this week, learning from staff and administration of the Northern Savings Credit Union branch in Masset.
The manager of the Ghana Rubber Estate Workers’ Co-operative Credit Union Ltd. arrived on-island on May 29 and is staying until June 8 as part of a training session offered by the Canadian Co-Operative Association’s (CCA) Women’s Mentorship Program. According to the CCA, the program “provides female leaders of overseas financial co-operatives with a unique opportunity for professional development; it is also a mutual learning opportunity for Canadians and international co-operators”.
Northern Savings Credit Union president and CEO Ken Doleman said participating in opportunities like this are an important part of its operation.
“Investing in international development by providing training and imparting best practices is a tangible expression of our shared co-operative values, including co-operation amongst co-operatives,” he said.
“At Northern Savings we know that the co-operative model works both at home and abroad to help people live better lives. We are delighted to participate in this successful, longstanding initiative, providing professional development and promoting gender equity. This program offers enduring benefit to the mentee, to our own credit union, and to all the communities involved.”
The Ghana mentee will be working alongside branch staff, becoming immersed in the day-to-day operations of the credit union. She will learn new skills in the areas of lending, human resources, branch management, and member services. Northern Savings’ employees are excited to have this rare opportunity and look forward to showing off their workplace and their community.

Cancer researcher studying Haida GwaiiBY SHAUN THOMAS PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View
Haida Gwaii will be the focus of a study on cancer in rural and remote Aboriginal communities as part of a multi-year, $100,000 project.
The work is being spearheaded by Dr. Robert Olson, a researcher from the B.C. Cancer Centre for the North in Prince George, who said he hopes to uncover some of the challenges facing residents of isolated areas and if there is a difference when it comes to Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people.
“It is almost 50/50 Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal, and all are in a similar situation. This provides a better comparison than, say, people in Vancouver and the surrounding
First Nations ... it is an ideal situation to compare Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal populations. They are all remote and rural, so it is a good chance to see if differences exist,” he said, noting it was people on the islands that approached him with the idea for the study.
“We’ll mainly be looking at the barriers and where bottlenecks occur to get care, because the communities came to me and said they felt the delay for care was longer for them than elsewhere.”
The first stage of the process will take place this summer when a student from the University of Northern British Columbia’s Northern Medical Program will be on-island to gather preliminary data and get direction. Following that the group will meet
with residents, councils and other leaders before beginning an analysis.
“I expect the analysis will take place in the summer of 2014. Before publishing it we want to get the communities involved ... they will also get to screen the results prior to publication,” he said.
Olson noted ther may be an apparent disconnect between physicians on Haida Gwaii and cancer specialists, and he hopes this study will allow residents to pursue better health services on Haida Gwaii.
In total, Dr. Olson received more $107,000 for the work, with $50,000 coming from the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation and $57,000 coming from the Vancouver Foundation.

Province rejects Enbridge pipeline
BY TOM FLETCHER VICTORIA / Black Press
The B.C. government has recommended rejection of the Enbridge Northern Gateway oil pipeline project in its final written submission to the federal environmental panel.
Environment Minister Terry Lake announced the decision Friday, two weeks after an election where pipeline politics played a key role. He said the B.C. government isn’t satisfied with the company’s plans for spill control on the twin pipeline proposed to run from northern Alberta to a tanker port at Kitimat.
“Northern Gateway has said that they would provide effective spill response in all cases,” Lake said.
“However, they have presented little evidence as to how they will respond.”
Lake said any heavy oil proposal would be subject to the B.C. government’s five conditions, which include spill prevention and response, aboriginal participation and a share of oil export revenues for B.C.
Enbridge Northern Gateway vice-president Janet Holder said Friday the province’s position is not the end of the discussion.
“The five conditions cannot be fully met until the end of the Joint
Review Panel process,” Holder said. “We are working hard to meet the
conditions and earn the confidence of the government and the people of B.C.”
Ministry staff evaluated the 192 conditions proposed by the Joint Review Panel, the federal agency that will make a recommendation for permits to Ottawa next fall. The B.C. government and Northern Gateway officials will give their final oral arguments to the panel when hearings resume in Terrace on June 17.
Enbridge has argued that its submissions to the federal panel included 7,000 pages of technical reports and nine separate witness panels have answered every environmental question put to it. The panel has conducted 69 days of cross-examination of company officials by B.C. and other representatives.
Lake said the B.C. government is not opposed to heavy oil pipeline projects in general.
“They have presented little evidence as to how
they will respond.”

BY MARTINA PERRY PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View
It’s been three weeks since Robert Long was hired as the City of Prince Rupert’s new chief administrative officer (CAO), and the new city manager has been reacquainting himself to his home town.
Long said it feels great to be back in Prince Rupert, where he was born. Long’s father was also born in Prince Rupert, with his grandma and grandpa living in the community for most of their lives. Long said his great-grandfather is even buried in Fairview Cemetery, so his family has a history in the community.
When Long was approximately 10 years old, he and his family moved away, but he returned to Prince Rupert in the summers to work.
“I spent quite a number of summers here going fishing, working in the fish plants, net-mending and doing all the regular stuff you did at that time, and I loved it,” Long said, adding he loves sportfishing and hopes to do some this summer.
Long said he hadn’t necessarily planned to return to Prince Rupert, but the CAO position popped up at an appropriate time.
“It seemed like a good place to come. There’s lots of action, activity and interest,” he said.
Long is currently familiarizing himself to the community, getting to know city staff and learning what council would like him to move forward with going into what he calls an “exciting” period for Prince Rupert.
“My long-term goals will follow along with what council would like. My job is to deliver council’s vision for the community,” Long said.
Long said he sees a municipality’s job as
two-fold: To deliver quality municipal services such as sewer, water and roads, but at the same time be a manifestation of the goals and objectives that the council wants the community to become.
One of the first objectives council is requesting of Long is to find a new permanent chief financial officer, a process Long said is coming along well.
“I’m hoping that we can make some announcements quickly... I want to run by what happens next with council, and hopefully we’ll make an announcement in the near future,” he said.
Part of the appeal of hiring Long for the city is his experience. He has spent more than two decades working as a CAO for regional districts and municipalities.
“I’ve got quite a few years of local government experience. I’m hoping to bring that experience in other communities to the job. Hopefully, I can add my expertise to the mix and help the community succeed,” he said.

It is that time of year again. Bears are coming out of hibernation
and some have already shown up in our communities. Bears that are attracted into communities and workcamps by poor waste management quickly learn to associate people with food and lose their natural fear of humans. These habituated bears may cause unexpected and unsafe bear-human encounters. They may turn over garbage cans and, in some cases, may violently protect garbage that they consider theirs.
Habituated bears eventually end up being shot by agencies whose responsibility it is to maintain the public safety (e.g. Conservation Officer Service and RCMP).
The Conservation Officer Service advises the public to be bear-smart regarding anything that might attract bears during the spring, summer and fall. If possible, place garbage bins in securely-locked buildings. Bring out garbage bins on garbage removal day only and rinse them after. Double bag smelly waste like fish offal and place it in the freezer until garbage removal day. Feed your pets indoors or clean up any food your pet did not eat. Take bird seed feeders and bird suet down until winter arrives. Birds do not need additional food during spring, summer and fall. Clean your BBQ by turning up the heat and remove the grease trap after each use. Do not deposit smelly matters like egg shells, fish
offal and cooked food in compost piles. Only deposit raw plant materials. When camping, store garbage, food, soap, detergent, tooth paste etc. out of reach from bears.
If confronted with a habituated bear, please dial the toll-free Report All Poachers and Polluters (RAPP) line at 1-877-952-7277. Anyone who repeatedly leaves bear attractants out may be issued a Dangerous Wildlife Protection Order and a monetary fine. This is to protect both fellow citizens AND bears.
Remember: a fed bear is a dead bear. For further information to prevent and
Dale Kluivers is a conservation officer with the BC Conservation Service.
Bears, who become habituated by feeding on residential garbage, will be put down.
A fed bear is a dead bearCity seeks business beautification grant
Prince Rupert city council gave the green light for economic development officer Derek Baker to pursue $20,000 in funding for a program aimed at helping business owners improve the look of their stores.
The program would provide business owners to apply for a non-repayable grant of up to 25 per cent of the total cost to a maximum of $5,000 following the completion of the work. The application would need to be made prior to the start of construction, and a three-person committee would decide whether or not the project outlined was eligible. Eligible projects include new exterior lighting, new windows, new siding, facade painting, awnings entrance doorway signage and more
Council was fully in favour of applying to the Northern Development Initiative Trust for the funding, but gave direction to Baker to see if additional funds could be leveraged through groups like the Prince Rupert Regional Community Foundation so more than four projects could be completed in a year. The idea of reducing the grants below $5,000 was put forward, but Baker said council should not go that route.
“As you give less incentive for businesses to take advantage of this, you’re less likely to get applications... You can do four facades per year, which could add up quickly over the years,” he said.
Following the departure of chief financial officer Dan Rodin on May 15, the City of Prince Rupert has a new face in charge of finances. At the May 27 meeting council passed a resolution to appoint manager of accounting Corrine Bomben as acting chief financial officer.
