Crime severity has dropped since 2011By Shaun Thomas

The Northern View

The Prince Rupert RCMP say that while the city had the eighth highest crime severity index in the country according to figures released last month by Stats Canada, it’s important to note the number actually dropped from last year.

In the previous year Prince Rupert also ranked eighth, but this year the overall CSI dropped 8.07 points, or 4.25 per cent, while non-violent crime dropped 11.66 per cent.

“For the Prince Rupert RCMP Detachment this was a significant achievement,” said Cst. Matt Ericson in a statement from the local detachment.

“The largest contributor to the decline in these statistics is largely the Prince Rupert RCMP’s members themselves. Often

these members go above and beyond their call of duty and remain after hours to complete files, apply for search warrants and in some cases attend the detachment on their days off to complete their investigations. These members are valued assets, and are dedicated to the community of Prince Rupert.”

However, the detachment acknowledges that the violent crime increased year-over-year, but say that is attributed to “a local group attempting to break into the drug trade, however this group has dispersed.

Overall, the RCMP refute the claims that Prince Rupert is one of the 10 most dangerous places to live in Canada.

“It is our belief that the City of Prince Rupert is and will continue to be a safe community and that this has been demonstrated in the downward trend in crime. The Prince Rupert RCMP is committed to promoting safe homes and safe communities and that we can build on our current success by being proactive with this strategy by preventing crime in the onset rather than the outset,” said Ericson.

“We would like to remind the community that these numbers are very subjective and do not take into account the repetitious nature of certain offences which are evaluated on a per capita basis.

Academic Workers Union files legal action against NWCCBy Lauren BennThe Terrace Standard

Legal action has been filed against Northwest Community College by its Academic Workers Union.

The college received notice August 16 from the AWU there, the union that represents academic instructors at the college. The union alleges the college board failed to adequately consult the education council in its course content and program planning for the coming school year.

The college was given a deadline of next week to respond, said NWCC president Denise Henning in a press release today, adding the college’s lawyers are looking into the action filed now.

“The action comes as a surprise to

the Northwest Community College (NWCC), since consultations with both stakeholders and the board were conducted during the deficit mitigation process,” said Henning in the release.

“I know that we consulted both the educational council and all stakeholders throughout this difficult process, but apparently the academic workers feel we have not adhered to the act.”

The legal action was filed under section 23 of the College and Institutes Act, a section which legislatively governs the process involved with program and course content and delivery and the education council’s role in its planning.

But the president of one of two unions affiliated with the college’s Academic Workers Union says

Henning’s response doesn’t make sense.

“For Mrs. Henning to say she doesn’t know where the court application is coming from, that she’s surprised by it, I find that very strange,” said Cindy Oliver, president of the B.C. Federation of Post Secondary Educators.

“The act does require that administrators must get input from their education council when they are contemplating program changes.”

Oliver alleges that college administrators did not follow due process.

“There are going to be some programs that are not going to be offered anymore and these changes are going to have serious effects on students,” she said.

“Administrators made those decisions without the proper consultations.”

The college’s education council is responsible for overseeing academic and technical training.

“They have a very serious role to play in the governance of the institution and they’re an important governing body,” said Oliver.

This action is separate from the one the union filed against the College earlier this year, which resulted in an informal Labour Relations Board hearing this spring.

That action dealt with the method with which layoff notices were distributed to instructors and was dealt with under the AWU’s collective agreement with the college.

This action deals with legislation and is therefore dealt with under B.C.’s court system, Oliver explained.

“We’ve sorted out the collective agreement issues and we need to

sort this out now,” said Oliver.“The senior administration have

taken this ready fire aim approach,” she said.

“It is important that they follow the law.”

In the release, Henning said that this action will not affect courses being offered this fall.

“We want to assure students coming to campus in a couple of weeks that they should feel secure that instructors and staff are on the job and there to help their learning experience.”

NDP leader Adrian Dix has found what he believes is a legal roadblock to the Enbridge Northern Gateway oil pipeline from Alberta to Kitimat.

Dix announced Wednesday that if he becomes B.C. premier next spring, he will withdraw from the federal-provincial review of the pipeline that is currently underway, and launch a “made in B.C.” review of the pipeline.

If that doesn’t result in rejection of the project the NDP opposes provincially and federally, Dix said the B.C. cabinet would have the final say. And if Prime Minister Stephen Harper tries to overrule the province, the battle would shift to individual provincial permits required for river crossings and wildlife corridors in B.C., he said.

Dix and NDP environment critic Rob Fleming said the B.C. Liberal government’s decision to cede control over environmental assessment to Ottawa, and then present no evidence at the federal hearings, left the province out of the discussion.

Premier Christy Clark and Environment Minister Terry Lake have announced pre-conditions of pipeline and tanker safety, and provincial officials are scheduled to cross-examine Enbridge before the federal review panel makes its recommendation to the federal cabinet next year.

Dix emphasized that the B.C. cabinet can overrule its own environmental review, just as the federal cabinet can. A provincial review of technical issues would have to be carried out to justify refusing provincial permits, he said.

Lawyer Murray Rankin was hired to advise the B.C. NDP. He said the joint review agreement with Ottawa allows B.C. to give 30 days notice and

opt out, and the existence of the agreement shows that B.C. does have jurisdiction over whether the pipeline proceeds.

Dix said he wants to return B.C. to separate federal and provincial reviews of major projects, like the Prosperity gold mine near Williams Lake, where the B.C. g o v e r n m e n t issued a permit, but the federal review later rejected it and spurred a costly redesign.

Dix said he met Tuesday with Black Press chairman David Black, who is backing a refinery at Kitimat to process oil sands crude for shipment by sea.

Dix said the idea of refining crude domestically is worth pursuing, but the Kitimat proposal doesn’t change his opposition to the Enbridge plan.

Six projects on North Coast no longer need assessmentBy Shaun Thomas

The Northern View

When the Conservative government’s revisions to the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act took effect last month some 492 projects currently under review in the province no longer needed to have an environmental screening done, including a number here on the north coast.

But of the six projects in the area, only one of them is in Prince Rupert. Improvements to the Prince Rupert aquatrain facility, owned by CN, began an environmental assessment in 2008 and was cancelled on July 6, 2012, due to the new

Canadian Environmental Assessment Act. The project had called for the construction, operation, modification and decommissioning of the needed components; the removal and disposal of an aging timber mooring wall, installation of four socketed pile dolphins, excavation and re-contouring of the foreshore area, in-water blasting and disposal of sediments at sea and on-land.

Two projects in Metlakatla no longer need assessments should they proceed. The first is for a sewage treatment upgrade that would see the construction and operation of an aerated lagoon, pump station, sewage forcemain and disinfection system as well as upgrades to an existing

marine outfall. The second project, which goes back to last December, is the construction of a Fist Nation Health Centre in the community.

In Lax Kw’alaams there were three projects no longer needing an environmental assessment should they proceed, though they all date back at least seven years. The band had proposed to construct a new transfer station, a community school and construction of a new sewage treatment plant including a new lift station, an aerated lagoon, a forcemain and gravity discharge main.

It’s that time of year when “back-to-school” commercials fill the airwaves and either raise feelings of anticipation and excitement in students, or absolute dread.

Regardless of how students feel about the coming school year, School District 52 in Prince Rupert

wants to ensure that students know when and where they should be on the first day of school, as well as making sure new students know how they can register.

“We are looking forward to this year. This will be the second year of our transition. We learned a lot from last year,” said School District 52 Superintendent Lynn Hauptman.

The first day of school will be

on Tuesday, September 4, after the Labour Day long weekend. Students from elementary up to high school will have their first day start at different times.

Kindergarten registration started earlier this year, with new students still being able to register at the elementary school closest to them. Their school will notify kindergarten students of their starting date and time.

Grade 1 to grade 5 students should be at the elementary school they are registered to attend at 10 a.m. on September 4, with their first day running until noon.

Grade 6 students entering into the middle school should be at PRMS at 1 p.m. Students have already toured the building last school year and will be the only kids in the school during this time on September 4 to ensure that the big move isn’t too flustering. Their day is expected to end at 3 p.m.

Students in grade 7 and grade 8 should be at PRMS at 10:30 a.m. on September 4, with their day ending at 12 p.m.

Grade 9 and 10 students will be expected to be at CHSS at 9:45 a.m., with grade 11 and grade 12 students starting their first day at 1 p.m. According to administration at the high school, students must attend the first day of school to ensure they will have a spot in classes they need. High school students are also reminded that because of rapid progress though

coursework, students not attending will fall behind quickly.

Grade 9 to 12 students attending Pacific Coast School this year should be at the school at 10 a.m., with the first day ending at noon.

Students needing to travel into Prince Rupert to attend classes should also pay extra attention to what time their bus or ferry is leaving on September 4.

As per usual, students living in Dodge Cove, Crippen Cove and Metlakatla will be transported to Prince Rupert daily by ferry and bus. However on September 4 the ferry will be leaving Metlakatla at 9 a.m., and will be leaving Dodge Cove at 9:15 a.m. The bus will leave Northland Dock at 9:30 a.m.

Elementary and secondary school students that are done their first day of school by noon will be picked up by bus, and dropped off at the dock, where they will leave on the ferry at 12:15 p.m. All other students needing to use the ferry will be picked up at 3 p.m., and will depart on the ferry at 3:30 p.m.

When regular classroom

instruction starts on September 5, the ferry will leave Metlakatla at 7:50 a.m. and Dodge Cove at 8:05 a.m. daily.

Middle and high school students living out in Port Edward will be transported to the community by bus, that will leave the district at 9 a.m. and 12:30 p.m., and will return to Port Edward at 12:30 p.m. and 3:30 p.m. Students should be at the Evergreen or Hill Crest stop ten or so minutes before 9 a.m. or 12:30 p.m.

Any elementary school student that is new to the district, or has moved to another catchment area during the summer can register at the school closest to them until Friday, August 31 from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. All elementary schools in the district will be open during that time.

Any new students needing to register to attend Prince Rupert Middle School, Charles Hays Secondary School or Pacific Coast School can register anytime, with staff being at all three schools currently until August 31.

◆ SEPTEMBER 4

Students of all ages will be piling back into schools around the district on Tuesday, September 4.

OPINIONNorth Coast

NDP leader Adrian Dix has announced that one of his first acts as premier would be to withdraw B.C. from the joint review of the Enbridge pipeline proposal from Alberta to Kitimat.

The two-year federal-led review will be mostly done by next May, but Dix proposes to start a new provincial assessment to examine at the B.C. portion. He doesn’t know how much it would cost, and under questioning he all but admitted the intention is to study the pipeline to death.

Fresh from a summer tour of the pipeline route to reaffirm solidarity with its opponents, Dix is hardly in a position to consider anything but maximum resistance. As Premier Christy Clark did in her showdown with Alberta over benefits, Dix hinted that provincial permits for river and wildlife crossings would be made as expensive as possible, if not refused.

The same fate awaits the Kinder Morgan plan to twin the existing Trans-Mountain oil pipeline to Burnaby. Dix left the impression that he would undo the years of work that have gone into bringing some rational sense to environmental approvals that can be, and have been, dragged out for years.

The B.C. hearings would provide another platform for opponents, and more complaints to justify refusal at the provincial level, to go along with court cases and direct-action protests.

Speaking of which, the frontal assault by agitators at the federal Enbridge hearings has mostly petered out. After 4,000-odd people were signed up to speak, most didn’t bother, and

some hearings were cancelled. Professional environmentalists are now wringing their

hands over Ottawa’s decision to leave smaller-scale reviews to the province. This means, for example, that there won’t be a duplicate federal review of the urgently needed refit of the John Hart Dam on the Campbell River.

I agree with the NDP that B.C. environmental assessment needs more resources, in particular to do the follow-up on approved projects, as called for by the auditor general.

Forest management needs more money too. All the more reason not to waste resources on political gestures

MY VIEW…

Guest editorial: Politics of pipeline

I’ve written many times about the millions of dollars that tourism brings into Prince Rupert each year. Tourism imports customers, generating income for almost every business in town. The benefits spiral out to include everyone who calls Prince Rupert home. These can be both tangible benefits, for those directly employed in retail, hospitality, attractions, and so on (and let’s not forget the summer jobs that allow students to stay in Prince Rupert), to the less tangible benefits such as amenities created for tourism but enjoyed by the community.

“Yet, like a stock no one seems to know about,” my friend Rob Gialloreto from Tourism Victoria wrote in the Times Colonist earlier this year, “many ignore the investment opportunity and treat tourism like a test we didn’t study for; we cross our fingers and hope.”

But as Rob also pointed out, “Those who work in the tourism industry have never relied on hope.” Tourism Prince Rupert works to bring visitors. We don’t attempt to

profit from tourism. We don’t develop businesses or attractions, hold festivals, or maintain infrastructure. These things are the mandate of other local agencies, and local business. Our role lies primarily outside the community, drawing tourism revenue into Prince Rupert, and we use proven techniques to make every dollar count.

We partner with many other agencies to raise funds for tourism promotion, and also work with many other agencies, particularly in the northern region, to develop cooperative marketing campaigns. Sometimes these take the form of advertising in print and broadcast media, and increasingly they take advantage of a consumer shift to social media and online trip planning.

For all of the value in traditional advertising, it is far more lucrative, in terms of return on investment, to work with travel writers, photographers, and videographers to

make sure that stories and images of Prince Rupert are seen in our key markets. We work with these people every day, and to ensure that we’re investing our efforts in the right way, and to ensure that we’re leveraging our money to maximize our investment, we cooperate closely with the travel media department at Tourism BC.

Through the Northern BC Tourism Association we work with tour operators and travel agents anywhere in the world where we can effectively sell Prince Rupert. Like travel media, these people influence large numbers of potential visitors. As frequently as possible we bring them to Prince Rupert to experience it for themselves so that they can sell our destination more effectively.

We do some advocacy, of course. We participate in regional, provincial and national groups which collectively advocate for improvements important to us all – such

as air access, or land tenure issues. We also maintain open communications with all levels of government to ensure that Prince Rupert’s tourism concerns are remembered when political decisions are made.

We work with our member businesses and attractions to help them promote what they have to offer. This is particularly true as marketing changes, and small operators are having to navigate new forms of media in order to retain their share of the profits of tourism.

We do all of these things with less and less financial support with each passing year. Since absorbing Tourism BC back into government over two years ago, nothing resembling a concrete provincial tourism plan has been produced, while, at the same time, provincial investment in tourism has been significantly cut back. If this trend is not reversed Prince Rupert – and indeed all of British Columbia – can expect to see a reduction in the amount of money that tourism brings each year.

Reduced investment in tourism will bring reduced profit~ Tom Fletcher

Loaded Sports in Prince Rupert will be putting on a competitive game of S.K.A.T.E on Sunday, September 9 at one p.m. at the Prince Rupert skate park, when children and teens can compete for a number of skateboarding-related prizes.

“We’ve got a variety of age categories that we may stick to depending on the amount of participation that we have. If we have low participation we will modify the age categories,” explained Loaded Sports owner, Marc Page.

Loaded Sports holds one or two competitions each year, with Page saying there are usually around 20 to 30 skateboarders partaking. As per usual, this competition will have no entry-cost.

“We always make it free to enter because we want as much participants as we can. I also feel that kids that can’t afford to enter into competitions should be allowed to take part,” said Page.

The competition will be a game of S.K.A.T.E, where after a participant successfully performs a trick the others must copy it. If they cannot perform the trick they are given a letter in the word “skate”. If a participant cannot copy any tricks and they are have been given all five letters, they are eliminated.

“We’re going to work within the skate rules, but instead of doing a flat ground competition we’re going to do it off of park features. Kids can pick a trick anywhere in the park off of any feature, and the other kids have to do that trick or else they get a letter scorn against them,” explained Page.

Judges will determine who is the best skater in each category, with winners being awarded a prize. Page says that there are “at least three boxes” of prizes to be given away, from brands such as Circa, DVS, Nikita, Quicksilver, Dakine, Matix, DC, and more.

Additionally, Page wants skateboarders in the community to know that every

M o n d a y , We d n e s d a y, and Friday there are free skateboarding n i g h t s occurring in the Jim Ciccone Civic Centre arena from 8 to 10 p.m. These nights will continue to take place until August 31, when organizers will create a new schedule to fit better with students.

“It gives the kids something to do at night that’s healthy and active,” commented Page.

People wanting to register for the competition can do so by visiting Loaded Sports. Anyone under the age of 19 wishing to participate must have their parents sign a waiver.

Helmets are mandatory for the event. If weather is bad on September 9, the event will be postponed until weather is better

MP reflects on the legacy of Jack LaytonContributed

The Northern View

On the one year anniversary of Jack Layton’s death, Canadians from coast, to coast, to coast gathered to celebrate and reflect on this great leader’s legacy.

“He changed the face of Canadian politics,” said Official Opposition House Leader Nathan Cullen (MP, Skeena-Bulkley Valley).

“Jack inspired many people to get involved with politics for the first time and work for change.”

Layton is remembered for his resilience, especially on the election campaign trail when he traveled across Canada with his trademark cane. Under his leadership, New Democrats won their greatest election victory in history and became Official Opposition.

“He used his fight with cancer to promote the issue and inspire Canadians. From the outpouring of emotion across this country last year, it is clear Jack was a great leader who touched millions of Canadians, no matter their political stripes,” said

Cullen.L a y t o n

visited the Nor thwes t three times since 2004 and loved the people and the land. People in the Northwest, like many Canadians, w e r e inspired by his passion, o p t i m i s m and courage.

“ H i s m e s s a g e , ‘don’t let them tell you it can’t be done,’ couldn’t be more important than for us today,” said Cullen.

“Part of building a better Canada is protecting our pristine coast, respecting First Nations’ land, and our way of life. We must keep his hope and vision alive.”

B.C. health care workers will be required to get an annual influenza vaccine or wear a mask in all patient contact areas in the community or publicly funded facilities, starting with this year’s flu season.

Provincial Health Officer Dr. Perry Kendall announced the regulation Thursday, a first for Canada. It applies to health authority staff, doctors, volunteers, students, contractors and vendors who come into contact with patients.

Free flu shots have been made

available to B.C. health care workers for years, and despite encouragement, fewer than half take advantage of them. The average vaccination rate for long-term care employees is closer to 60 per cent, but Kendall said that rate is still too low and has declined in recent years.

Canada’s national advisory committee on immunization considers it a “professional responsibility” for health care workers to get their flu shot every year, Kendall said.

The mask option is being offered for workers who have a medical

reason not to be vaccinated, and to avoid disputes with employees who simply refuse. “Progressive discipline” would be imposed on employees who refuse both during flu season, just as it would be for those who fail to wash their hands or take precautions when coughing, Kendall said.

Vaccine or mask now required for health care workers

in the past.Activities included face painting

$9,400 from jail and bailBy Martina Perry

The Northern View

Prince Rupert RCMP officers Bob Killbery and Jennifer Collins surpassed their Cops for Cancer fundraising goal on August 25, after holding jail and bail in front of Atlin Terminal during Cow Bay Day.

Approximately $9,400 was raised at the event, which surpassed the pair’s fundraising goal of $8,000.

“We couldn’t have done it without the help from the community. We had building supplies donated from Home Hardware, Rona, General Paint and Jim West Signs and food donated from Safeway and Overwaitea. They definitely helped with our success,” said Killbery, mentioning that a number of businesses also donated prizes to be given away.

12 locals were put in jail including MLA Gary Coons, Dr. Jeffrey Simons, School District 52 Superintendent Lynn Hauptman, Tyler O’Halloran from EZ Rock, Constable Matt Ericson from the Prince Rupert RCMP, Shaun Thomas from the Prince Rupert Northern View, Re/max real estate agents Mike Morris and Jeff Clarke, Scott Kehn from the DFO, Scott Farwell from the Crest Hotel, Homework and Sea Horse Trading owner David Smook and Kris Schumacher from the Prince Rupert Port Authority.

Jailed individuals had

to call family, friends, co-workers and whoever else they knew would pay a fee to help bail them out. All together, over $8,000 in bail was collected, with just under $700 being raised from the barbecue that was held outside of the jail.

This was the final fundraising event the father and daughter riding pair will hold, however there are still raffle tickets available for purchase at the Crest, the RCMP detachment, Traylings Tackle, Seasport and Northwest Fuels.

By Bill Phillips Black Press

A proposal to construct a $13-billion dollar refinery in Kitimat by media mogul David Black as an end point for Enbridge pipeline bitumen has met with mixed reactions from provincial

leaders.MLA Pat Bell, Minister of Jobs,

Tourism and Innovation, says he sees the potential of such a project, though a lot needs to happen before such a proposal becomes a reality.

“I think it’s a very interesting proposal. Of course it will have

to go through an e n v i r o n m e n t a l review, and we have to make sure corporate investors are on board,” he said.

He added he expects the addition of a refinery, should the project take hold, will change the conversation around the pipeline.

“It changes the dialogue of the conversation around the N o r t h e r n Gateway Pipeline, especially when you get an individual such as

David Black, who comes with real credibility, and who’s engaging in this project. I look forward to following it along and seeing where it goes.”

Bell said he knew Black was considering the project.

“Mr. Black has e-mailed myself and Minister (Rich) Coleman over the last bit of time,” he said.

“We knew he was thinking about this and thought it a was an approach to take in terms of adding value to the bitumen as well as mitigating some of the environmental risks in terms of transporting heavy oil on the ocean.”

Bell added it’s a bit to early in the game to speculate on what having a refinery in Kitimat will mean to northern B.C.

“There’s a lot of work to be done. I think we’re jumping a

bit ahead. Mr. Black, however, suggested there may be upward of 3,000 jobs created,” Bell said.

“The notion of increasing capacity of refined product in B.C I think should be attractive to the consumer as well. Refining your own oil then selling it back as oil and diesel to the consumer is likely going to create a more competitive environment for automotive fuel.”

Bell added he’s disappointed by the NDP’s reaction to the announcement.

“There’s a whole bunch of real interesting things that come with this,” he said.

“It’s disappointing to me the NDP opposed it without

knowing anything about it. I think that is worrisome. My interest and approach is ‘tell me more.’ I’m interested in knowing more about this and what it can do for us. I think their approach shows a real lack of respect for environmental process and a lack of understanding of what needs to be done to drive the economy. If they were to form g o v e r n m e n t and just say no to every major proposal that comes forward there will not be a lot of jobs in B.C. Instead there will be a high rate of unemployment.”

The proposal brought forward by David Black is c e r t a i n l y ambi t ious , but it is u n c l e a r whether he

will be able to commandeer the supply of oil from Enbridge and the foreign partners involved in the

Northern Gateway Project,” said NDP energy critic John Horgan in a press release.

“It remains to be seen whether it’s a pipe-dream or if it is a credible plan with realistic price tags and capacity.”

Horgan said if it ever manages to get off the ground, it would still have to follow a rigorous e n v i r o n m e n t a l process and full consultation with First Nations.

Paul Stanley with Enbridge said building or not building a refinery really has no affect on building the pipeline.

“What we’ve been saying is that it’s not something that would impact the Northern Gateway project,” Stanley said.

“If Mr. Black is successful he’ll still need a pipeline to move crude oil from Alberta to Kitimat.”

By Jim Sinclair President , BC Federation of Labour

The origins of Labour Day in Canada trace back 140 years to 1872 and a parade held in support of a Toronto union’s strike for a 58-hour work week. Back then, union activity was illegal in Canada and 24 workers were jailed for their role in the strike.

An outcry of support and rally on September 3 of 1873 led Prime Minister John A. MacDonald to commit to repealing the law banning union activity, helping to lay the groundwork for real progress for working people.

Since 1894, when Prime Minister John Thompson declared Labour Day an official holiday, working people have celebrated our gains and honored those who fought for the rights and privileges we enjoy today.

Unfortunately, the last 30 years has seen a troubling growth in inequality in our society.

From World War II through 1980, working people shared equally in the gains of productivity with shareholders and owners through higher wages and improved purchasing power. But from 1980 forward, while productivity increased at an even greater rate, workers wages stagnated and all gains of productivity have gone to owners and senior executives.

Today’s middle class family feels like they are having a harder time making ends meet, because they are. Meanwhile, the rich have never been so rich.

On this Labour Day, however, I look forward with optimism that we are turning a corner towards greater equality.

Front-line workers in BC’s public service are negotiating for fair and reasonable wage increases. And despite the intransigence of Christy Clark and Kevin Falcon, polling consistently shows that women and men across British Columbia support these workers’ in their simple demand to not fall further behind or lose rights they and their predecessors fought to secure.

British Columbians want a fair and equitable society, and they recognize that the front-line workers in our schools, hospitals, and social and government services are an important part of that society.

In the private sector, workers are once-again negotiating agreements that see them share in the gains of their productivity and the value of their work. Recent agreements between workers and companies like Rio Tinto and Teck Resources have put more income in the pockets of workers, and boosted the fortunes of local communities.

Tax cuts for corporations and the wealthy are too often invested in overseas companies or simply held as cash, creating no local economic activity. But when working people earn more, they tend to spend it in their own communities.

These agreements are setting a pattern for wage growth for all working people, whether in a union or not. This is good news for working and middle class families and it’s also good news for our economy.

Whether you decide to bring your dog or perhaps even your cat, the Prince Rupert SPCA is inviting people of the community and their furry friends to partake in the annual Paws for a Cause event on Sunday, September 9 to raise money for the local shelter.

Paws for a Cause is the BC SPCA’s biggest fundraising event of the year. The SPCA and Scotiabank hold the event annually in 35 communities across British Columbia, including Prince Rupert. Last year there were over 30 participants that raised more than $7,000 at the local event.

“It’s like a walkathon, but you can bring your pets. I’ve seen people bring their cats on leashes, but it’s mostly dogs,” laughed Anna Terebka, who the branch manager of Prince Rupert’s SPCA.

Paws for a Cause 2012 will start at Mariner’s Park at 11 a.m. on September 9. There will be entertainment and a number of activities taking place, including a bowl-licking contest. The actual walk will begin at noon, with participants heading down to Rushbrook and back to Mariner’s Park.

Participants are asked to collect pledges before the event, with the recommended pledge amount being $200. People can register both online at www.spca.bc.ca/walk, or by picking up a pledge form at

various locations around town and bringing it to the event with them.

The top adult fundraiser will receive a free grizzly bear tour from Adventure Tours and the top youth fundraiser will get a game package from Good Times Games, with all registered participants receiving a t-shirt.

Funds collected will be put towards the local SPCA branch, with Terebka saying a majority of the money will be put towards keeping the building open.

“It won’t be spent on anything specific, it’s just to keep this place going. Every year our shelter runs at a deficit but they keep us open because they know that there is a need here,” explained Terebka.

And is there ever a need. Prince Rupert and Port Edward’s feral cat problem is no secret, with various groups in the community trying to find a lasting solution. Most of these groups have agreed that the solution is to make sure cats are spayed and neutered.

“I want to stress the importance of spaying and neutering your animals, especially cats,” Terebka pleaded.

As of August 24 there were 30 cats available for adoption at the SPCA alone, as well as seven dogs. However all together the branch has 58 animals in their care, a majority of which are cats and kittens. Anyone wishing to adopt an animal from the Prince Rupert SPCA branch can visit the shelter and fill out an adoption application or do so online.

Ensuring a safe return to the classroomBy Dr. Butler-Jones

Public Health Agency of Canada

The end of summer means that it’s time for children to head back to school. Whether they travel on foot, by bicycle, by bus or by car, it’s important to teach your child how to get to school safely. Below are some actions you and your child can take to prevent injuries when travelling to and from school.

Walking to SchoolWalking to school is a great way to

ensure children keep active, but there are important steps to take to make sure your child stays safe.

- Teach your child to keep a safe distance from cars – walk on the sidewalk, or if there is none, stay as far on the shoulder as possible.

- Make sure your child knows to walk in the direction facing the traffic, so he/she can see the cars approaching and drivers can see him/her.

- Driveways need special attention as drivers may not see children walking

by. Teach your child that when the white lights on the back of a car or truck are lit up, it means that the car is moving backwards, and he/she should keep clear.

- Crossing the road alone is a big step for children; only children aged nine or older should be allowed to cross busy intersections alone.

- Demonstrate

how to look both ways before crossing: show your child to turn his/her head left, right and then left again to look for traffic before stepping out onto the road. Remind your child that a car can’t stop as fast he/she can; if your child sees a car coming, tell him/her not to cross until the car has stopped or has passed.

- Tell your child to cross at an intersection with a traffic light whenever possible, and make sure he/she knows how to use the crosswalk signal to let drivers know that he/she wants to cross.

Biking to SchoolBefore your child bikes to school,

make sure his/her bicycle has working brakes, a seat secured at the right height and is equipped with a bell, light and a reflector.

- Make sure your child always wears a bike helmet that is level on his/her head, not tilted back or sideways, and the strap should is snug to protect his/her head in case of a fall. Hats should not be worn under a helmet.

- A properly fitting helmet rests two finger-widths from the eyebrow, has v-shape straps around both ears, and allows space for one finger to fit between chin and strap.

- Teach your child to obey the rules of the road. Like people who drive cars, cyclists must ride in the same direction as the road traffic, ride single-file, stop at red lights and stop signs and yield to pedestrians.

- Always walk bikes across intersections or railway crossings.

- Hand signals will tell other traffic if your child is planning to turn or stop and will help him/her understand what cars and other cyclists will be doing.

- Before school starts, map out

the safest route to school with the least traffic. Children under age 10 should not ride their bikes on the road. Whenever you can, use bike lanes or paths, and make sure your child follows the buddy system: always ride with at least one friend and tell someone - yourself or another adult - where they are going and what route they will use.

Riding the School BusThere are important actions your

child must take to avoid injury when riding the school bus.

- When the school bus is approaching the bus stop, your child must take five steps back from the road.

- It is important for you to remind your child to stay away from the three danger zones - the front, sides and back of the bus - by staying at least three metres (10 feet) away from the school bus.

- Teach your child that he should never run after the school bus to try to catch it if he/she misses his ride.

- Once inside the school bus, your child should take a seat as quickly as possible, put his/her belongings under the seat, and stay calm.

- Remind your child to wait until the school bus comes to a complete stop before getting off.

- When getting off the school bus, he/she should use the handrail.

- If your child must cross the street, he/she should always cross in front of the school bus but only after establishing eye contact with the school bus driver.

Driving to School- The back seat is the safest place for

your child to be.- Your child should ride in a booster

seat until they are 36 kg (80 pounds), at about eight years old. At this point, h e / s h e has grown enough to p rope r ly use a seatbelt.

- Ex-p l a i n how and why he/she must wear her sea tbe l t . The strap that runs a c r o s s the lap should sit over your c h i l d ’ s hips.
