This is the next phase in it poten- tially reaching the ultimate vision of 2 million TEUs,” said Kru- sel, adding the expansion toward Ridley Island is still very much on the table. “We refer to the build out of Phase 2 as being a Phase 2 north and Phase 2 south. Ultimately, to get us to the two million TEUs of capacity envisioned, we will eventually be expanding to the south as well.” While the announcement was made by the Prince Rupert Port Authority and the decision to proceed came from Maher Ter- minals, Krusel said much of the credit for the Phase 2 expansion rests with those who work at the terminal. “The men and women pro- viding that service here in Prince Rupert have proved that they can win against some of the stron- gest competition in all of North America.

PRINCE RUPERT - The expan-sion of Fairview Terminal has been the dream of many in Prince Rupert since the facility first opened in 2007.

On March 10, that dream be-came a reality.

Prince Rupert Port Authority president and CEO Don Krusel outlined plans for what will be the largest single investment in the his-tory of the Port of Prince Rupert to a packed house at the Port Interpre-tive Centre, an announcement that was met with resounding applause from some of the same men and women who marked the opening of the terminal almost eight years ago.

“The commitment of Maher Terminals to invest over $200 million into the Fairview ex-pansion is recognition that they,

along with our customers and everyone else in the industry, ex-pects the success that has been achieved over the past seven years to continue into the future,” he said of the project, which in-cludes four additional cranes, four more rail tracks and the rec-lamation of approximately 3.7 hectares of land to create an addi-tional 155 metres of wharf to be added to the northwest end of the terminal.

“The construction project is expected to provide more than 600 person years of employment over the two-and-a-half years of construction and will average 240 workers over that period ... this project will increase the an-nual capacity of the terminal to more than 1.3 million TEUS, an increase of approximately 500,000 containers or an addi-tional 60 per cent.”

The announcement brings

Fairview Terminal closer to the final build out that was initial-ly envisioned when the terminal opened almost eight years ago.

“When the facility was first envisioned, and we still envision it, it was a 2 million TEU facility. This is the next phase in it poten-tially reaching the ultimate vision of 2 million TEUs,” said Kru-sel, adding the expansion toward Ridley Island is still very much on the table.

“We refer to the build out of Phase 2 as being a Phase 2 north and Phase 2 south. Ultimately, to get us to the two million TEUs of capacity envisioned, we will eventually be expanding to the south as well.”

While the announcement was made by the Prince Rupert Port Authority and the decision to proceed came from Maher Ter-minals, Krusel said much of the credit for the Phase 2 expansion

rests with those who work at the terminal.

“The men and women pro-viding that service here in Prince Rupert have proved that they can win against some of the stron-gest competition in all of North America. Today that is a fact that is recognized throughout the in-dustry and, I am proud to say, that is a fact that is recognized throughout the entire world,” he said, adding there are currently more than 500 people on the In-ternational Longshore and Ware-house Union board with plans for further recruiting.

“It has been the men and women of the Prince Rupert gate-way who have won and kept the business of ... hundreds of oth-er major importers and export-ers through hard work, commit-ment and trust. Today that hard work and commitment is being rewarded.”

Municipalstrike still onin KitimatBy Cameron OrrTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

KITIMAT - Unifor 2300 is saying it’s up to the Dis-trict of Kitimat to get back to the negotiating table to pave the way to getting the strike settled.

The District of Kitimat meanwhile contends that the ball is in the union’s court.

“We have, on numerous occasions now, extend-ed the invitation for the District to come back to bar-gaining and most recently…[to] the mayor directly to be involved in bargaining. To date they haven’t re-sponded,” said Unifor 2301 Business Agent Martin McIlwrath, who is representing the workers of 2300. “It’s all we can do, is to request to resume bargain-ing. They are refusing,” he said. “Pretty much si-lence.”

McIlwrath said there’s still information the union needs to know from the District, notably the � ner details of how their offer could mean a 12 per cent property tax increase, as the District of Kitimat has stated. “We don’t know where their budget is. So I don’t know if the cost of our contract would increase anything. I don’t even know that because I can’t see their budget,” he said.

Over at the District, Chief Administrative Of� cer Ron Poole says the town has yet to receive a formal response from the union to the � nal offer.

“We’re still waiting for them to give us some-thing as to what they don’t like or what they do like in the offer,” said Poole. “We are willing to negoti-ate but we feel the ball is in their court since we’ve placed the � nal offer on the table.”

Poole said the last time the two sides met was in regard to the offer but there was no written response from the union.

Construction ready to start on marina facility in Cow BayBy Martina PerryTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - Next month piles will be driven into the sea-bed of Cow Bay for a new itinerant yacht marina.

Announced during the North-west Growth Conference on Sat-urday, the $3.8 million-project will provide moorage for 51 ves-sels ranging from 40 to 80 feet. A 12-foot-wide, 600-foot-long wood-en breakwater will protect the pri-

vate marina while also providing a public wharf extending into the har-bour between the Northland cruise ship dock and the Yacht Club.

“The community has been talk-ing about a lack of vessel moorage for 25 years now. The Cow Bay Ma-rina is an important part of diversi-fying the local economy and revital-izing the tourism sector as it stands to generate direct and indirect eco-nomic benefits to the city,” said John Farrell, general manager of Community Futures of the Pacific

Northwest. The project was launched after

a market study by Community Fu-tures of the Pacific Northwest and the Prince Rupert and Port Edward Economic Development Corpora-tion identified the high demand for slips, and was initiated by Com-munity Futures, the City of Prince Rupert, the Prince Rupert and Port Edward Economic Development Corporation and the Prince Rupert Port Authority.

“Our market study showed we

are currently waving goodbye to 1,200 pleasure cruisers every year that pass through our waters to Hai-da Gwaii and Alaska. We only have about 10 available slips for these recreational boaters. That’s the eco-nomic leakage that we set out to fill,” explained Farrell.

Paul Vendittelli, Prince Rupert and Port Edward’s economic de-velopment officer, said the partner-ship saw the need for additional ac-cess to the harbour, with Mayor Lee Brain saying the project is “part of a

much larger strategy to open up ac-cess to our waterfront for locals and those near and far”.

“This is a major win for the City of Prince Rupert,” said Brain.

Broadwater Industries was awarded the construction tender for the marina, which is expected to be complete by the end of July and of-ficially open to the public this fall.

“The construction is modular so pieces will be floated into place and begin to develop before your eyes,” said Vendittelli.

The distinction comes with $52,000 to deliver programs aimed at children ages 0-6.

The Kitimat B.C. Early Years Centre is one of 14 new centres opening throughout the province, bringing the total to 26 since the pro-gram first began.

Child Development Centre Executive Di-rector Margaret Warcup says the funding boost is aimed to go towards pro-gram integration, which the centre already does

to a degree.“This gives us the

opportunity to really try to do even more,” she said, but noted they’re approaching their plans cautiously given that $52,000 isn’t a bottom-less supply of funds.

Ultimately though being an Early Learning Centre gives the CDC a voice in the discussion of further early learning programs, she said.

“We do have to push that children and youth with special needs still get adequate funding,” she said.

A delegation from the CDC will be at-tending an early learn-ing conference hosted by the province over spring break and they’ll

make that topic a prior-ity while they’re there.

“We took the ap-proach that if you’re not at the table you don’t have a voice,” she said.

The proposal to be-come an early learning centre was put together last year and this is the second round of naming early learning centres in B.C.

Among some of the proposals the CDC put forward to get the grant is to update their parent resources on their web-site.

Another is that they’ll advocate for re-forms to Early Child-hood Educator (ECE) li-cencing.

Warcup says they want to push to get ECE

education as a potential stepping stone to higher education as well.

Getting qualified people in to preschools and day cares is chal-lenging and ECEs aren’t especially highly paid, but allowing people to take their creden-tials and apply them to other programs would go a long way to attract-ing people to the pro-gram.

Stephanie Cadieux, Minister of Children and Family Develop-ment, said the govern-ment “want[s] to give families with young children throughout the province easier access to the services they need to help kids reach their full potential.

BC Early Years Centres bring together a range of health, early learning, child care and family development pro-grams and supports that are tailored to the needs of their local communi-ty.”

Funding for each

Early Learning Centre comes from an over-all commitment of $5.5 million from the prov-ince over three years.

The province has also provided $76 mil-lion to support the first three years of the BC Early Years Strategy

B.C. moves to restrict e-cigarettesBy Tom FletcherTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

VICTORIA - The B.C. government is tightening its regulations to ban the sale of electronic cigarettes to minors and use of the smoking substitute in work-places, restaurants and other indoor public spaces.

Health Minister Terry Lake said changes he in-troduced in the B.C. legislature Thursday will treat the battery-powered devices like tobacco products, meaning they may not be displayed in stores or used in enclosed spaces where others are present. That will include private vehicles with children inside.

Lake said he expects the new regulations to be in effect within a year, after consulting with the indus-try and giving sellers time to adjust to the new rules.

“This doesn’t ban e-cigarettes,” Lake said. “This means that children are protected from the sale and from being exposed to e-cigarettes, and those who don’t want to be subjected to the vapours from e-cig-arettes are protected as well.

“Essentially the same conditions that now ap-ply to tobacco will apply to e-cigarettes, so in public places, indoor workplaces, school grounds and now

health authorities as well.”Lake said e-cigarettes may have potential as a

quit-smoking aid, but they are currently unregulated and the liquid used in them may contain nicotine or other chemicals with health risks. The federal gov-ernment has banned the sale of so-called “e-juice” containing nicotine, but it remains legal in the U.S. and Health Canada has received numerous reports that it is sold north of the border as well.

NDP health critic Judy Darcy said she supports the restriction on e-cigarettes, but the lack of mea-sures to prohibit flavoured tobacco products is “a gaping hole” in the government’s bill.

Lake said he has been assured by federal Health Minister Rona Ambrose that federal regulations are in the works to deal with flavoured tobacco.

“When you’re talking about the manufacture of cigars and cigarettes, it’s better to do that at a federal level, because obviously they’re not made in each in-dividual province,” Lake said.

Pushing for a parkBy Cameron OrrTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

KITIMAT - If the Kil-dala PAC has anything to say about it the fund-raising for a new school playground should be done by the end of the calendar year.

The Kildala Parent Advisory Council Presi-dent Kim Wasyleski was going to present a re-quest to Kitimat Council at the last public meet-ing however they opted to push their presenta-tion to a different time.

Even so, when the PAC does speak to council they’re hopeful they can get some sup-port, particularly in the $20,000 range, which is what they will be asking.

The PAC has al-ready been given sup-port from the Coast

Mountains School Dis-trict in the form of a $7,620 cheque, which amounts to 10 per cent of the quoted cost of the playground.

“We’ve raised over $50,000, so we have about $26,000 to go to reach our goal,” said Wasyleski.

The current play-ground has a capacity of just around 10 kids and its age is showing,” she said.

“It’s nearing the end,” she said. “The fact is it’s old, it’s wood, and it’s...12 feet by 10, max,” said Waysleski.

As well the Child Development Centre Executive Director Mar-garet Warcup says the preschool program run at Kildala has to apply for a variance to North-ern Health to use other

nearby parks because the one at Kildala can’t be used for children un-der six.

“We’ve had to do that for a number of years until they can get that playground upgrad-ed,” said Warcup.

Still, fundraising is going at a healthy pace, better than they even projected, said Waysles-ki

She adds that they have applied for numer-ous grants for support too and are awaiting word on those.

Even bottle drives have earned over $1,500 for the project.

In the PAC’s let-ter to the District, they note that they were next in line for a Ministry of Education playground grant when the program was discontinued.

CAMERON ORR / THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

The playground at Kildala Elementary School is old and undersized for the school, says the PAC.

Bid process opens for mill demoBy Martina PerryTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - The City of Prince Rupert is calling out for bids for the demolition and sal-vaging of infrastructure at the for-mer pulp mill on Watson Island.

In September, the city an-nounced it had awarded a contract to Stantec Engineering to arrange a course of action for decommis-sioning the former pulp mill and put two notices on B.C. Bid related to the work earlier this month.

The � rst notice was a request for proposals for the demolition, salvage and removal of structures, contents and equipment at Wat-son Island and the second was an invitation for offers on industrial equipment from the site.

As part of a settlement with Sun Wave Forest Products, the for-mer owner will pay for the decon-struction project, but will be able to use funds from an asset recov-ery program designed to net-back some value from equipment and scrap metal sales to cover the costs.

“There’s still lots of valu-able material out there that could be used for other industries,” ex-plained Prince Rupert Mayor Lee Brain.

Although the undertaking won’t be a full shut down of the site, Mayor Brain said it’s a huge step in moving forward.

“This decommissioning isn’t necessarily a full remediation of the island. It’s just part of the pro-

cess of stripping down the materials and buildings (to their foundations). Some of the build-ings are still usable, so those will stay in-tact,” he explained.

The project will consist of three phases, the � rst be-ing the demolition and salvaging of infrastructure and equipment in the terminal building where the majority of industrial equipment with potential resale value is located. It will also include the demolition and salvaging of the power house, recaustizing and chip handling areas.

In the second phase, mechani-cal equipment in the pulp � nishing machine room will be salvaged, along with equipment in the wood room, which will be demolished to its foundation.

The request for proposals states the � rst two phases would commence concurrently.

In the third phase, the hog fuel handling facilities and other struc-tures not considered to have sal-vage value will be disassembled and demolished to their founda-tions.

Storage tanks will be prepared for demolition and salvage, but the chemicals will be removed as a separate decommissioning ex-ercise. Brain said full remediation

will take place when the city is able to pur-sue other economic in-terests of the site.

“The next step after that would be clearing out the black and green liquor tanks and the hog fuel pile. This would make Watson Island much more attractive in terms of an invest-ment,” he said, adding the city will be aggres-sive in making sure that happens.

The City of Prince Rupert re-mains in a legal dispute over the site with the Watson Island Devel-opment Corporation.

“Right now we still can’t clear title. But we feel con� dent things will move forward with that case within a few years,” Brain said.

Presently, the City of Prince Rupert is paying approximately $80,000 per month for site mainte-nance and monitoring fees.

Brain said the city will work to reduce the overhead while decom-missioning work takes place.

“We’re hoping that the over-head of Watson Island will be signi� cantly reduced to the point where it would actually take a bur-den off taxpayers,” Brain said.

The city has given groups leasing property at the site no-tices to vacate the premise, with Brain stating the deconstruc-tion work could begin as soon as May.

“There’s still lots of valuable material out there.”

Hwy of Tears film screening TERRACE - Highway of Tears, a documentary by Montreal-born, Los Angeles-based � lmmaker Matt Smiley will be screened at 7 p.m. March 17 at the REM Lee Theatre.

In June 2012, Smiley travelled to northern Brit-ish Columbia to direct “Highway of Tears,” a doc-umentary � lm based on the missing women along Highway 16.

Since the late 1960s, at least 18 young women — many from disadvantaged First Nations commu-nities — have disappeared or been found murdered along the 724-kilometre stretch of Highway 16 in northern B.C.

Narrated by Nathan Fillion, Smiley’s documen-tary not only relates the personal stories of the vic-tims, but investigates how the legacy of generational poverty, high unemployment and endemic violence in their communities contributed to their tragic fates — and how contemporary First Nations leaders are striving to cure those ills.

A Q&A with Matt Smiley and Doug Leslie fol-lows the screening.

Several tickets have been set aside for those who can’t afford the ticket cost but would like to see the movie. Tickets are on sale at the door or at http://www.eventbrite.com/e/highway-of-tears-rem-the-atre-terrace-bc-tickets-15965997729?aff=efbevent.

Report raises concerns about Flora BankBy Shaun ThomasTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - A report prepared for the Lax Kw’alaams Band raises new concerns about the impact Pa-ci� c NorthWest LNG’s terminal on Lelu Island could have on Flora Bank.

The report, entitled A Sediment Trend Anal-ysis of Prince Rupert Harbour and Its Sur-rounding Waters, was written by Dr. Patrick McLaren of SedTrend Analysis and notes that Flora Bank is unique in that the sediments are not believed to have been transported and depos-ited at the site but rath-er “must have formed in situ or are remnant from a pre-existing environment”.

“If, in fact, the sands are actually part of a larger transport regime in which sand is both arriving and leaving the bank, thereby keeping them maintained, a con-stantly shifting position of the bank could be ex-pected as the availability of sand arriving could never be constant and the processes to remove it would also be vari-able,” he wrote.

“The amount of sand on the surface of Flora Bank has remained con-stant and, to date, there has been little possibil-ity for the complex in-teraction of river, tide and wave processes re-sponsible for holding

the sand in place to have changed since sea level reached its present posi-tion 8,000 years ago.”

Based on the idea that Flora Bank is not a feature that is created by sediment transport-ed through the Skeena River, Dr. McLaren said different considerations must be taken into ac-count when examining the impact of industrial development in nearby areas.

“Any change that might alter the wave, river or tidal currents in the waters surrounding Flora Bank will inevi-tably affect the ability of the processes to hold the sand in place. If such a change results in a loss of sand, there will no longer be any chance either for it to return or be replenished from other sources,” he wrote.

“If, instead of los-ing the sand, a decrease in energy levels over the Bank increases the deposition of � ne sedi-ments the possibility of losing the eel grass will occur.”

Luanne Roth of the Prince Rupert En-vironmental Society says this information must be considered by the company which she says, despite eliminat-ing the need for dredg-ing through the use of a suspended bridge tres-tle, would still create “a forest of pilings” that would impact current wave action and � ows in

the area. “Paci� c Northwest

LNG is aware of the ero-sion problem with the new design. I spoke to them at their last open house and they said they were meeting with Dr. McLaren whose sedi-ment analysis con� rmed a serious � aw in the new design which threatens Flora Bank if the Paci� c Northwest LNG project is allowed to proceed,” she said.

The company ac-knowedges they have heard the concern, but say their studies show any impact to the cur-

rents and tides around Flora Bank would not be signi� cant.

“Based on exten-sive studies conducted by our environmental consultants who are ex-perienced in this � eld, we are con� dent that the integrity of Flora Bank will be maintained. We have conducted rigor-ous engineering model-ling and analysis, and are con� dent that chang-es to waves, river and tidal currents around Flora Bank would be minimal,” said commu-nications advisor Krissy Van Loon.

“We fully under-stand the importance of, and are committed to protecting, the eel grass and Flora Bank. We have conducted wave, current and tidal stud-ies, sediment dispersion modelling, shading anal-ysis as well as extensive � eld work to better un-derstand how our marine terminal will impact the area around Lelu Island. The conclusion of this work is that the current marine structure design and terminal operations would not adversely im-pact eel grass or Flora Bank.”

Kitimat strike forces Peewee provincial tourney venue changeBy Anna KillenTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

TERRACE - Hundreds of provin-cial Peewee hockey players and their families will be descending on Terrace this weekend, part of the fallout from the Kitimat District municipal workers’ strike.

The Kitimat Peewee Tier 3 BC Hockey Championship will now take place at the Terrace Sportsplex beginning March 15 - 18 with the organizing committee making the of� cial announcement Tuesday last week.

“You can’t imagine,” said orga-nizing committee chairman Tony Velho of how it felt to learn that the ongoing strike would mean that the four-day tournament the committee had been planning since November couldn’t take place at the Tamitik Arena.

“We’ve got a real dedicated group helping out, the committee, and sure it was a bit of a disappoint-ment to them – the reason everyone did it was because, ‘hey, I’m a Kiti-mat person and I want to showcase our town and what we have, we’ve got a nice rink,’” he said.

Kitimat Mayor Phil Germuth said the city is “obviously disap-pointed that we’re not able to host this event as a result of a labour dispute, it would have been a great event for the community.

“However, the situation is what it is,” he said, lamenting the impact

losing the tournament will have on Kitimat’s economy but also prais-ing the Kitimat organizing commit-tee for being prepared.

“Obviously Kitimat people were prepared for this and it’s nice to see Terrace people come through and make it a reality,” he said.

Velho explained that “there’s been a lot of planning up to this point.

And all of the planning is based on it being in Kitimat,” he said, not-ing there were plans for a coach meeting room and a player’s lounge room at the rink and a handful of teams were booked at Kitimat ho-tels.

Some of those teams have now re-booked hotels in Terrace, he said, and the only event that will still take place in Kitimat is the banquet.

The organizing committee tried to work with city of� cials and the union to get the ice back on the rink in Kitimat, but realizing it wasn’t possible, Velho reached out to Ter-

race. And his phone has been ring-ing off the hook with offers to help pull off the tournament ever since.

“Oh my son’s 14 years old, I’m not sure what he can do but he’s willing to help. One lady – I don’t know if her husband knows, but her husband’s volunteering – said I can do it, my husband can, and my 11-year-old is a mature 11-year-old, like stuff like that, it’s crazy,” he said, adding the scouts offered to help with 50/50 and he received a call from St. John’s ambulance to do � rst aid.

He said the Sunday night open-ing ceremonies, with speeches by the BC Hockey president as well as Germuth might be a bit “weird” now that the venue has changed.

“You can’t really say it’s a Kiti-mat tournament because it’s in Ter-race,” he said, laughing. “It’s more of a regional thing now I guess.”

But he’s “just glad we can still make it happen. Terrace has helped us like crazy. It’s not like Kitimat is in a � ood situation where we need housing, but people coming togeth-er like that... it’s been really sup-portive,” he continued.

That sentiment is underscored by the city of Terrace’s leisure ser-vices director Carmen Didier. “We wanted to do whatever we could to make sure the championships stayed in the northwest and were workable for the Kitimat provincial working committee,” she said.

That includes keeping the Hid-

ber ice in one week longer than planned and moving activities from the main arena to the Hidber ice.

“The regular ice user groups have been accommodating and have offered support where they can,” she said, adding local busi-nesses are contributing to the team packages and the city is offering free swimming passes to the pro-vincial teams.

“We all recognize that high lev-el competitions in the northwest helps to build better local sports programs in many ways,” said Di-dier.

“Kitimat is a good neighbour and we support them. I am certain you will see many Terrace folks in the bleachers cheering on the Kiti-mat team throughout the competi-tion,” she added.

Terrace’s Fugere rink wins Marine BonspielBy Kevin Campbell THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - It was a little rough-going in the fourth and � fth ends and the shots weren’t always perfect, but Terrace’s Team Fugere pulled out a convincing 8-4 win on Sunday afternoon versus Terrace counterparts Team Kennedy in the ‘A’ � nal of the Prince Rupert Men’s Marine Bonspiel.

Skip Brian Fugere and his sec-ond Lee Snyder, third Rob Phillips and lead Wayne Julseth played the � rst three ends to perfection, gar-nering a 4-0 lead early on.

But a two point fourth end fol-lowed by a two point � fth end from skip John Kennedy and his team consisting of Ian Munson, Kevin Jeffrey and Andy Hoffman knotted things up at 4-4 going into the sixth end.

“We had a tough time there in that fourth or � fth [end] but the boys came through in the sixth. They � nished the game off good,” said Fugere after the win.

Fugere’s sixth end was a big

one as he scored three points to re-gain a 7-4 lead, knocking Kenne-dy’s stones out of the house every

chance he got. His team didn’t miss much after their mid-game hiccups.

“We tried to junk it up a little bit

because they’re a good hitting team. They’re a tough team to play, but they did well,” he said.

“He missed a couple of key shots but [that was it],” Fugere con-tinued.

A � nal point in the seventh end completed the undefeated tourna-ment for Team Fugere, going 5-0 while playing together for the � rst time ever, with a couple members usually playing with a different skip.

It’s also the � rst time Fugere has won the ‘A’ event in a Prince Rupert Bonspiel.

His rink defeated Team Mayeda, Team Bernhardt, Team Thomas, Team Green and Kennedy to win the 2015 event while Ken-nedy’s rink downed the 4 Amigo’s, Team Blackstone, Team Copeland and Team Morgan to reach the � nal, going 4-1.

“After all the losses I’ve had [here] before, it’s kind of nice,” said Fugere.

“I’ve played John before in Ter-race, but not here.”

Team Johnson claimed the ‘B’ event, Team B. Mullin took the “C’ � nal and Team Thomas grabbed the ‘D’ throne.
