The Gitxsan First Nation has vowed to block any natural gas pipeline construction — including the Prince Rupert Gas Transmission Project — on their territory unless certain title rights are acknowledged by the government for an area of disputed land.
Kitsumkalum and Kitselas First Nations approved land claims agreements in principle with the federal and provincial governments last spring, paving the way for final treaty negotiations.
This would grant them ownership to tracts of land extending east of Terrace, toward the Gitxsan traditional territory, but the Gitxsan argue that
part of the land contained in those agreements in principle to form part of the eventual Kitsumkalum and Kitselas final treaties is in fact theirs and want it recognized as such.
To leverage their claim, the Gitxsan now say they want no further work done on planned natural gas
pipelines that would pass through their territory toward planned liquefied natural gas plants around Prince Rupert and at Kitimat.
This would have an affect on the ability of three proposed pipelines to proceed in their area including the Prince Rupert Gas Transmission project by TransCanada, Westcoast Connector project by Spectra Energy and the Pacific Northern Gas looping project.
“The [federal and provincial] crowns refuse to abide by the rulings of B.C. courts that the Gitxsan have strong prima facie rights and good prima facie title to these lands since contact in 1846,” a media release from the Office of the Gitxsan Hereditary Chiefs states.

A suspect in the break, enter and theft of the Belmont Liquor Store has been apprehended after police released to the media a surveillance photo last week.
On July 2, at ap p rox i m at e ly 6 a.m., RCMP received a tip from an anonymous caller that three men were breaking into the liquor store.
When police arrived, the suspects had already fled the scene. While the anonymous caller had indicated there were three men, police only had one suspect caught on camera.

“There are several parcels of land that are within Gitxsan traditional territory,” said Gitxsan negotiator Bev Clifton Percival in an interview, adding that court decisions over the past several decades upheld Gitxsan rights to the disputed area.
The area includes two rivers near Gitsegukla and Kitwanga and land used by 3,000 people, she said.
An offer from the provincial government to oversee a mediation process has been met with refusal by the Gitxsan chiefs, and Percival said that they want to resolve the issue through a traditional system.
“If you mediate, you compromise your position and we are
not saying that we do not own the lands,” said Percival. “We have traditional forms of dispute resolution that these two Indian Act Bands do not want to enter into, so we have our own mechanisms for solving disputes but we are not going to enter a European mediation that would undermine our own lands.”
Percival also said the Tsilhqot’n Supreme Court of Canada decision late last month strengthens the case for aboriginal title.
“And given the Tsilhqot’in decision this week we know the crown’s legislation and their authority has been undermined severely by the Supreme Court of Canada in the granting of title lands.”
At the time, police were unable to identify any of the possible suspects and turned to the public for assistance.
A statement released by RCMP on Monday said police were “able to successfully locate and arrest the suspect named Cali Peal-Barton”, who was scheduled to appear before the Prince Rupert Provincial Law Courts that same day.
“The Prince Rupert RCMP would like to thank members of the community for their assistance. With your assistance police were able to identify, locate and arrest this man,” said Const. Matt Ericson, spokesperson for the Prince Rupert RCMP.
Const. Ericson said, while originally RCMP believed three individuals were responsible, he was unable to confirm as of press time if police are seeking a second or third suspect.
Anyone with information can contact the Prince Rupert RCMP Detachment at 250-627-0700 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
Starting at 8 a.m. on July 9, motorists will have to fi nd another route past the Sixth Ave. East bridge over Hays Creek. Restoration work will be performed on the bridge for approximately six weeks.George Hills Way and Drydock Road is one route to bypass it while the 11th Avenue East crossing is another.

Happy hour may have arrived at B.C. pubs and restaurants, allowing them to discount prices of alcoholic beverages early in the day, but it seems it’s business as usual so far for Prince Rupert establishments.
Both Breakers Pub and the Ocean View Restaurant haven’t needed to change their pricing for alcoholic drinks to meet the new minimum standards for sleeves, pints and pitchers of beer.
“We’ve never had anything that’s under the minimum, so I mean we’re not the cheapest place in town, we’re not the most expensive place in town ... but that’s the reality. You’re dealing with the government,” said Breakers’ owner Joanne Sylvester.
“It’s more for the Lower Mainland pubs where there’s a concentration of a number of drinking establishments to draw people in. It’s some kind of enticement; get people in and then hopefully they can stay after happy hour ... But is it going to bring me any more business? I put on pretty good specials right now, I really don’t think so.”
The new liquor laws the government of B.C. has handed down has necessitated
licensed establishments to charge at least $3 for a 12-ounce sleeve of beer or cider, $5 for a 20-ounce pint of beer or cider and $15 for a pitcher. Breakers and the Ocean View aren’t affected by the pricing changes.
The law also allows patrons to order drinks without food, but the establishment still needs to offer a full food menu.
“I wouldn’t say a lot but there’s a general amount of people who come in that don’t eat. Ten o’clock in the morning sometimes they just come in for their ‘hair of the dog’ but for the most part I would say 75 per cent of our customers eat,” said Holley Minger, manager of the Ocean View.
Sylvester has positioned Breakers as an eatery, as well as a pub.
“We’re a pub so there is [a number of people that come without ordering food] but our food sales are substantial so clearly you make more money on the booze, so it would be nice if it were like the old days but they’re not like that anymore and we realize that and it’s safer for the public because they’re eating and they’re drinking but we’ve adapted where we’re more of a restaurant now and restaurants have that ability too; [the customers] don’t have to eat,” said Sylvester.
For the Ocean View, Minger anticipates creating a happy hour menu with owner Don McNeil.
“It’s something we will think about in the future. I would like to do some kind of happy hour ‘appy (appetizer) hour’, that kind of thing.”
Children are allowed in pubs and bars until 10 p.m. as long as they’re supervised, but both owners say that’s not an area they’d like to explore.
“When I go into a pub I expect to not be able to hear a screaming child and most of my customers are that way so that’s fine, I’m not going to allow kids,” said Sylvester.
Minger doesn’t allow kids in the pub area as well.
“The language and the volume can get loud and I personally don’t want to have to start worrying about the parents, saying ‘OK you’ve got to keep your customers quiet because we’ve got our kids here’ so that’s one of the main reasons why we decided not to do it,” said Minger.
Customers can now move their drinks from one adjoining licenced area to another, which is helpful for the Ocean View’s patio.
“How we have it set up, the [deck] is our liquor primary licence rather than our food primary license so people are now allowed to sit on the deck and have their cigarette or drink without having to have a meal,” said Minger.

Happy HourHappy Hour
Most of us in this little city by the sea seemingly take great pride in ripping the City of Prince Rupert for what many
believe are poor public services.They’ll point to the potholes, lack of
maintenance at public venues, etc.
The web is replete with examples of city workers leaning on a shovel or four supervisors standing around watching one guy work.
However, after two years in our little city by the sea, one thing I can attest, City of Prince Rupert workers do not fit
that stereotype.Let’s be very clear, this is not a shout out to the
boys and girls behind the council table, but rather the Joes and Jills out on the street.
Given what they have to work with — and for whom — I have been heartened by the distinct lack of uncivil service by those wearing the hardhats and hi-vis vests.
There have been a number of examples that have changed my perception, but last two weeks I saw something that drilled home the point — City of Prince Rupert workers actually do give a damn.
As we all know, Prince Rupert is home to a large population of birds that enjoy what we throw out.
Ravens and seagulls take great pleasure in ripping apart our garbage bags and some have even figured out how to knock off secure lids.
One afternoon I came home to what looked like the aftermath of a tornado on my east end block. Garbage was strewn everywhere.
I was slightly gratified to remember that I forgot to put out my trash bin and that our fine feathered friends hadn’t done likewise to my trash.
I went inside to grab my garbage bag and as I exited I watched in amazement as two trash collectors went above and beyond. They drove up my block and were not only picking up the trash, they were picking up the other trash.
In cities across this great country that just doesn’t happen. If you haven’t the exact bag within an exact distance from the curb at exactly the right time, those workers just pass you by.
Not here in Rupert.These garbage men aren’t garbage.

A few weeks before the landmark decision declaring aboriginal title proven by the Tsilhqot’in
Nation, I picked up a used university textbook that looked like a handy
reference.Geography
in British C o l u m b i a : People and L a n d s c a p e s in Transition, by Brett McGill ivray (UBC Press, S e c o n d Edition) is a
good reference, except where it strays from geography into politics.
This 2005 edition came out not long before the B.C. Treaty Commission started producing agreements, notably with the Tsawwassen First Nation. It recounts the establishment of the Ministry of Native Affairs by the Bill Vander Zalm government in 1990, and the election the next year of Mike Harcourt’s NDP, who reversed the province’s historical legal position and tried to accept the existence of aboriginal title.
At this point the textbook departs from the facts and leads its freshman pupils into left-wing dogma.
McGillivray writes: “When the Liberal Party won the 2001 election (with all but two seats), it launched a province-wide referendum on treaty negotiations, prompting commentators to suggest the government was ‘trying to impose 19th century ideas on a 21st century problem’.”
“Commentators” in the above quote is of course only one commentator, veteran lefty Vancouver columnist Stephen Hume.
This quote was indeed representative of the media consensus at the time. On TV, aboriginal leaders burned their ballots while denouncing the referendum as racist and divisive. The public, and
later university students, were taught that Gordon Campbell’s government was exploiting racism for political gain.
In fact, this referendum was one of a long series of efforts to untangle the legal knot left by Canada and B.C.’s failure to complete historical treaties after 1900.
Seven of the eight questions in the 2002 referendum were simply to confirm the existing position of B.C. treaty negotiators. The purpose, then as now, was to settle treaties.
The first question asked if private land should be exempt from expropriation for treaty settlements. Private property rights are not so much a 19th century idea as a 17th century one, defined in 1690 by John Locke.
What remains true today is that no society has made significant social and environmental progress without individual property rights. See the woeful state of most of Canada’s communally owned aboriginal reserves, where individually owned property isn’t permitted.
The Tsilhqot’in dropped claims of property held by non-aboriginal residents from their appeal to the highest court, a wise move considering that pushing people from their homes would lead to violent confrontations.
Other referendum questions related to preserving public access to Crown land for hunting, fishing and park use. All
were endorsed.The only new question asked if
aboriginal self-government “should have the characteristics of local government, with powers delegated from Canada and British Columbia.”
Arguably, that’s what has emerged from the Tsilhqot’in case, which upholds provincial jurisdiction over public forest policy on environmental and fire protection on aboriginal title lands.
By 2009, frustrated with a lack of progress, due to Ottawa’s inaction as well as inconsistent leadership from aboriginal communities, the Campbell government tried to cut the knot. Its proposed Recognition Act would have accepted a form of aboriginal title across the province, based on 30 historical “indigenous nations.”
That idea originated not with the province but with the First Nations Leadership Council. It was rejected by a broader group of aboriginal leaders later that year.
The best way forward, also endorsed in the 2002 referendum, is sharing land use planning. B.C. has also begun sharing resource revenues.
The most likely path, however, is back to court for years to come.

Port helps meet Asia’s need for coal and cokeAnyone familiar
with the commod-ities handled by
the Port of Prince Rupert will know that energy products moving through Ridley Terminals are an important part of our trade gateway.
Last year, coal and petroleum coke accounted for 11.5 of the 22.2 million tonnes shipped through all of Prince Rupert’s terminals. That’s more than half of the port’s total volume, and accounts for roughly 20% of Canada’s total seaborne coal exports. With these products likely to make up an even larger percentage of the Port of Prince Rupert’s total business in coming years, it’s important to understand why they are in such high demand—and the opportunities they present.
Coal and petroleum coke are valued worldwide for their energy content, particularly for use in steel-making. In Asia, they’re building housing for hundreds of millions of people seeking to improve their quality of life. Global demand and consumption are forecast by the International Energy Agency to increase by 35% in the next 20 years, with China dominating worldwide production and consumption.
In 2012, China both produced and consumed more coal than all other countries combined, and accounted for over one-quarter of the Port of Prince Rupert’s total coal exports.
Despite China’s voracious appetite, the primary recipient of coal and coke from Prince Rupert is Japan, and has been for the past five years. Due to the absence of domestic production, the Japanese lead the world in coal imports.
The majority (60%) of energy exported by the Port of Prince Rupert is metallurgical coal, also known as coking coal. This type of coal has low sulphur and phosphorous contents, and is baked in special high-temperature ovens to make a product known as coke. This resulting coke is essentially pure carbon, and is used to smelt iron ore in blast furnaces as both a source of heat and a chemical reducing agent in producing steel.
Unlike coking coal, thermal coal has lower carbon content and is typically used to produce electricity in power plants. This is done by burning the coal in a furnace with a boiler to produce steam, which spins turbines and turns generators to produce electricity. Thermal coal is used to produce over 40% of the world’s electricity, particularly in developing nations seeking affordable access to a modern energy grid.
Our third and least exported energy product is petroleum coke. A by-product of oil refinery coker units, petroleum coke is comprised almost entirely of carbon, and is used in much the same way as metallurgical coal.
Despite weaker prices for the commodity in 2013, all of Canada’s west coast coal export terminals expect to ship record volumes this year. In the first six months of 2013, Prince Rupert’s Ridley Terminals Inc. shipped 7.1 million tonnes, up 6% from the same period in 2012. Work continues to progress on RTI’s $200 million Capacity Realization Project, a terminal expansion that is already incorporating new land equipment to create the ability for the terminal to handle up to 25 million tonnes by 2015. With new mines coming online and expansion projects underway at mines in several British Columbia and Alberta communities, RTI will be well-positioned to respond to demand with its additional capacity as it becomes available.

Mulcair is a hypocriteEditor:Thomas Mulcair, federal NDP opposition
leader, wants to some day become the Prime Minister of Canada, but seems to forget that western Canada is also in Canada.
Thomas Mulcair quote: “allowing supertankers into the Douglas Channel is madness,” when it comes to decision-making in western Canada.
Thomas Mulcair quote: “west-east pipeline, pro-business, common sense solution that will create jobs and boost the country energy solutions.”
A definite set of double standards based on the fact he lives in Quebec and what a pipeline would do for Quebec and Quebec only. [Mulcair] wants the pipeline to run from Alberta to end at a Montreal refinery. Then shipments can be made by use of the St. Lawrence River, which would require the use of supertankers which is not madness in Quebec because the Enbridge pipeline
is estimated to bring in $80 billion in tax revenue, via government.
If Thomas Mulcair lived in B.C., once again his opinions would be reversed.
The sad part to all of this, is that Thomas Mulcair is paid a taxpayer-funded salary of $229,000 per year, for this very poor performance of opinions.

Editor:The landmark Tsilhqot’in Supreme Court
decision provides a unique opportunity for governments and industry to partner with First Nation communities to advance major resource projects. There has been a great deal of speculation about how many of these projects are going to grind to a halt as a result of the decision. I would argue that the exact opposite is true. More than ever, we need First Nations participation in resource development but we need to do that with First Nations as real partners with equity in these projects. In the end, First Nations equity may be the difference between success and failure.
Until recently First Nations communities have been frozen in time economically. Many have built up their own economies in an effort to become self-sufficient but they face a number of common hurdles. First Nation communities lack infrastructure, lack financial knowledge and an inability to attract long-term financing. Without access to capital markets, First Nations have difficulty developing the necessary infrastructure to increase their own-source revenue and provide economic opportunities for their people.
In 2006, the First Nations Fiscal Management Act (the Act) received unanimous consent in the House of Commons. The Act helps minimize these
barriers through taxation, certification and a financial instrument to allow First Nations to go to the bond market.
The Act provides legislative framework that created three national Aboriginal institutions. The First Nations led institutions are: The First Nations Tax Commission (FNTC), the First Nations Financial Management Board (FMB), and the First Nations Authority (FNFA). Each of these institutions are instrumental in assisting First Nation governments to address the socioeconomic well being along with capacity building within their communities.
These institutions have assisted First Nations in implementing stronger financial management systems within their communities. These communities are improving their quality of life by building much-needed infrastructure and providing necessary and essential services.

Photo courtesy of the Prince Rupert City & Regional Archives Then - When Annunciation School opened on the corner of Fifth Avenue and Fulton Street on August 28, 1916, there were 64 pu-pils that were taught by the Sisters of St. Joseph, according to The Evening Empire newspaper. Annunciation School also offered high school classes with three graduating classes during the years 1958 to 1960. The original Catholic Church was on the corner at the end of the block that was purchased by Bishop Bunoz in 1909. The priest’s manse and a small house stood between the church and the school. The wooden streets of Fifth Avenue lead into Bor-den Street which graces many fine homes.
They now look at managing their wealth, as opposed to fighting poverty. Last month the collaborative work of the institutions led to a first time debenture of $90 million at AAA rating. This truly was a historic moment for First Nations communities.
Under this Act, there is the ability to administer an equity position in a First Nations joint project. Adding to this, the Tsilhqot’in decision gives us certainty. We know what the rules are and the financial institutions in place provide the capacity to deal with major infrastructure projects.
We have seen First Nations engaged in capacity building and resource development projects, but the status quo hasn’t worked. It is time to look at a new approach that fits within the parameters of the Supreme Court’s decision.

Editor:When British Columbians call 911 to seek
emergency medical assistance, they do so be-cause they are experiencing a situation that re-quires an immediate response beyond their own capabilities. Firefi ghters, as the fi rst responders in BC, are generally fi rst on-scene and provide medical and scene management support until paramedics are able to respond.
Last fall BC Emergency Health Services (BCEHS) made changes to how it allocates its resources by having ambulances respond to certain medical calls in a “routine or non-pri-ority” manner as opposed to previous designa-tion of “emergency or lights and sirens”. The BC Ambulance Service (BCAS) argued these changes contained in the Resource Allocation Plan (RAP) were necessary to improve response times for those patients with the most urgent medical needs.
At the BCPFFA, we’re calling this move what it really is: the Ambulance Service’s scramble, as directed by the BCEHS, to manage a shortage of available ambulances and paramedics. The BCPFFA is strongly opposed to these changes and supports the call for more ambulances and paramedics.
As any emergency worker can tell you, once a call is downgraded to non-priority from emer-gency, the timeline to get to the incident chang-es. Our members have seen a number of cases where patients in distress (heavy bleeding, head injuries, spinal injuries and loss of conscious-ness) are being considered non-priority, leading to increasingly longer response times by ambu-lances, which we fi nd simply unacceptable.
Since these changes were quietly implement-ed last fall, fi refi ghters across the province are noticing much longer wait times for paramedics to arrive at an incident. In an increasing number of cases the wait for an ambulance can be be-tween 40 and 50 minutes longer than before the protocol changes. Is this what you expect when you call 911?
One of the biggest obstacles professional fi refi ghters encounter in serving the needs of their communities is the inability for simulta-neous dispatch, where 911 operators can send what the system views as an appropriate level of response. Fire is dispatched only when cer-tain criterion is met or after it’s determined that an ambulance is unavailable to respond as re-quired. Critical minutes are lost in this process, and timely on-scene assessment and patient care is being compromised.
In our view, operators should be sending on-duty trained fi refi ghters to determine the level of patient care needed and granting them
the authority to upgrade or downgrade the level of response required by ambulance. No matter how skilled 911 operators are, only trained re-sponders on scene can effectively prioritize pa-tient care for the best possible results.
In Canada, the standards for emergency med-ical response are less than nine minutes in nine out of ten calls, or in the 90th percentile. BCAS chooses to report only average response times, which in our view is not a true refl ection of how emergency responses should be disclosed.
The North American standards are much higher, at four to six minutes for most medical emergent calls. BCEHS targets 12 minutes, and meets that goal 52 percent of the time for the highest priority calls. Prior to the recent RAP changes, fi rst responders attended 35 percent of medical calls. If the recent RAP changes are ful-ly implemented, fi rst responders will respond to approximately 25 percent of medical calls.
By changing its response to 74 of 868 call types, including downgrading 39 to non-prior-ity, BCEHS is condoning a delayed response to the emergent needs of your community. Is this acceptable to you and your loved ones when emergency medical care is required?
We are urging the government through the BCEHS to return the medical response to what the Cain Report in 1989 envisioned of an ambu-lance service, which was a layered response, with fi refi ghters being simultaneously dispatched to medical emergencies within their community’s jurisdiction. Wait times are becoming danger-ously long and putting undue stress on those in need of immediate care.
British Columbia’s population growth and the aging Baby Boomer generation make it es-sential that this discussion, along with an in-formed and integrated systemic response to these challenges, shape the future of the emer-gency services system. BCPFFA wants to work with all stakeholders to ensure that British Co-lumbians receive the care and attention required when they call 911 – and we’re not confi dent they’re getting it today.
If you need to call 911 for yourself or some-one else in need, how long are you prepared to wait for assistance? Are you okay with the sys-tem deciding that you don’t have a real emer-gency?
Professional fi refi ghters on duty in your com-munity are committed to responding to your emergency when called upon and providing you with the service that you deserve.

Editor:The recent ruling on the B.C.
Tsilhqot’in Indian’s land claim will be entered in the history books as being one of the more radical rulings ever rendered by the Supreme Court of Canada.
Without any consideration for the rights and needs of the other 4.5 million British Columbians it arbitrarily ruled all BC Crown lands and resources belong to the Indians.
It has put a big dark cloud of uncertainty over the province of B.C., as well as the rest of Canada in terms of citizenship, economic development, and rights to title and resources for all Canadians, Indians included.
The failure of the B.C. government to consult is one issue, however, entitlement is quite another.
The court failed to make that distinction, and rendered a ruling that is unbelievably one-sided.
The ruling is also devastating for millions of multi-generation Canadians who were born and
raised on Canadian soil, not to mention millions of immigrants who came to Canada and were told ‘we are all united as citizens and equal under the law’.
In other countries, when you become a citizen, you become a full partner with the same rights and responsibilities as all the other citizens.
That will never be the case in Canada for as long as we continue to be a British colony.
This ruling is just one more example of a dysfunctional judiciary that is appointed on a political whim, and accountable to absolutely no-one.

As the Prince Rupert region continues to show signs of growing into a major trade centre operating as an
important part of global trade networks, more opportunities in business will present themselves to residents. Conversely, as the region grows into this global trade hub, competition for the best jobs will increase and expectations for performance and qualifications will rise.
While there will be many shorter term op-portunities – especially in trades related to the construction of major facilities – there will be relatively smaller numbers of long-term career opportunities. LNG liquefaction facilities employ about 10 times as many people during the peak of the construction phase as they do in the steady state of operations, for example.
To compete successfully for the smaller number of long-term career opportunities that are opening up will require skills and credentials that have not previously been readily available in communities such as Prince Rupert.
The Beedie School of Business at Simon Fraser University is responding to this emerging need by offering to deliver its widely recognized Master of Business Administration (MBA) in Prince Rupert, in collaboration with Northwest Community College.
“As northern regions in B.C. experience un-precedented growth, it is important for business schools to work with communities to prepare their residents for the opportunities coming their
way,” says Mark Selman, Director of Corporate Programs and Advisor to the Dean at the Beedie School of Business.
“The Beedie School of Business MBA program responds to the changing face of B.C.’s business environment, and will ensure that Prince Rupert residents possess the advanced business skills required to benefit from the increasing level of investment in the region.”
SFU has experience delivering similar pro-grams in the region, having previously offered a well-received MBA in Kitimat in partnership with Alcan and other local organizations.
Over the course of 2014, the Beedie School of Business will be assessing the level of interest in the communities with the intention of starting the program in April 2015.
The school will be working with progres-sive employers who see the need to help their employees grow into the new opportunities forthcoming within their organization.
The MBA program will also be open to indi-viduals who wish to enroll individually, and the school is seeking to establish an awards program that would help offset the cost of the program for well qualified individuals who lack the financial support of their employers.
For more information about this program, please attend the information session on July 16 at 5:30 pm at the Prince Rupert Northwest Community College campus on 353 5th St. or call 778-782-9698.

Sensible BC, a group aiming to decriminalize marijuana possession in B.C., is calling out for volunteers on the North Coast to help support their cause.
In preparation for the launching of another signature-gathering campaign, Sensible BC is building its grassroots game by creating chapters in every region across the province.
Founding meetings have been held for the Vancouver-North and Vancouver-South chapters, with one in Kamloops taking place later this month.
“If we expect to win this fight, we will need every region to organize and create their own Sensible BC chapter. We’re asking folks if they can take on some leadership roles in the lead up to our next campaign,” reads a statement from Sensible BC.
Individuals who are unable to take on a leadership role are still encouraged to volunteer for a couple hours a week.
Anyone interested in getting involved is encouraged to email [email protected].

After spending more than 50 years of her life not knowing her biological family, Mona Powers recently met up with members of her late mother’s family in Prince Rupert.
“It has been the most incredible experience,” said Mona at a joint reunion event and surprise birthday party for her brother Sheldon on Friday.
Vina Bolton (Nee-Reece) gave birth to Mona in 1962, but because Vina wasn’t married at the time she was adopted out through the United Church.
“Unwed mothers were frowned upon in those days, so she was forced to give her child up,” said Lillian Fisher, one of Vina’s sisters.
Mona became the daughter of a German couple, who already had adopted a French-Canadian boy and later adopted an Indonesian-Dutch girl.
“Growing up, we were always told we were adopted and we were encouraged that if we ever wanted to find our family, that was okay,” said Mona.
“We were always told we were chosen.”After Mona was given away, Vina went
on to have two sons, Travis and Sheldon Bolton. It was a dream of hers to be reunited with her first born child, but unfortunately she never got the chance before she died in 1972. Vina passed away when Travis was five years old and Sheldon was seven, but it wasn’t until Sheldon was 17 years old that he found out he had a sister.
“I know my mother would be very happy [that we’ve met],” Sheldon said.
“Knowing that Mona found us would make her extremely proud.”
“We’ve been searching for her since 1987,” said Lillian.
Mona’s uncle Tom was at the event, along with her other aunties, Lianna Faust and Charlotte Reece. Reece said the situation is straight out of a movie.
It all started after the passing of Mona’s adoptive father two years ago, at which time she began looking for her biological family. Because Mona’s mother had registered her as a Status Indian, Mona knew she was from Hartley Bay.
On Dec. 31 Mona sent an email to Hartley Bay’s chief executive officer Ellen Torng explaining her story and asking for
any information available. Patty Leighton, who is Mona’s cousin
and the daughter of Vina’s brother Daniel, heard about the email and looked up her on Facebook. When she saw a photo of Mona, she said she felt intrigued to investigate further.
“I just felt it was something I needed to look into,” said Patty, adding she didn’t know her aunties and uncles had been looking for Mona for years.
“I had no clue my auntie Vina ... had a daughter. After I showed my mom the picture she called my auntie Lilly.”
After initially being denied, Patty found out Mona’s number and left her a message on her answering machine. When the two finally connected, they were on the phone for over an hour.
Mona then got in contact with her aunties Lillian and Lianna, also talking on the phone with them for extended periods of time. She then began sending out friend requests to family members on Facebook, which led to more lengthy conversations.
After connecting with members of her immediate family members, Mona and her husband of more than 10 years, Randy Powers, decided it was time to make the trip to the North Coast.
Vina’s brother Tom was the first to see Mona face-to-face, with Mona and Randy stopping in Prince George on their way to the North Coast.
“As soon as I spotted her my eyes started to well up with tears. Because of my tears there was an aura around her that resembled my sister,” Tom said.
“We embraced each other. It was so emotional. We didn’t let each other go for a long time.”
The emotional experiences only continued when they all arrived in Prince Rupert in late-June.
“I thought ‘this is what this family has been waiting for’ ... Looking at their faces, it was like they were seeing a ghost,” Mona said.
Members of the family came from all over to meet Mona, including her youngest brother Travis who came up from New Westminister.
“For the longest time, it’s just been the two of us. We were raised by our aunties and uncles and our grandmother,” Sheldon said
of himself and Travis. “It was very emotional. It’s like an empty
space being filled.”Sheldon, who currently lives in Prince
Rupert, said it was eerie meeting his long lost sister in person.
“The first time I saw her picture, I could’ve swore I was looking at my mother,” said Sheldon.
“When she came here I started noticing the little things, like how she smiles, her eyes. Just listening to her voice.”
This is something that many members of the family reiterated.
“She looks exactly like her mom,” said Lillian.
“We don’t even need a DNA test. The
looks are there,” said Patty. There were a lot of firsts for Mona
while visiting the North Coast, including a helicopter tour, and a lot of affection from her newly-discovered family members.
“The hugs and kisses have been going nonstop since I got here,” Mona said.
The family taught Mona as much as they could about her culture during her visit, and gave her traditional regalia and First Nations jewelery.
“I think what’s most important for them is for me to learn the culture,” Mona said.
While Mona and Randy headed home this week, Mona said she fully intends to come back, planning a trip to Hartley Bay next.

After cycling for nearly 2,000 kilometres and raising more than $400,000 for the Stollery Children’s Hospital Foundation, the Haida Gwaii Totem Tour wrapped up in Edmonton on Canada Day.
Thirty-six people rode throughout the 1,760-kilometre tour, a number of whom were over 70 years old, that started on June 16 in Masset at the Yellowhead Highway Mile 0 sign and ended in Edmonton on Canada Day.
The purpose of the journey was to deliver a totem pole carved by Haida artist Ben Davidson to be donated to the facility and raise funds.
Nick Lees, who is an Edmonton Journal columnist, organized the Haida Gwaii Totem Tour after visiting his friend Dr. Peter Lake in Haida Gwaii a number of years ago. While the pair was visiting the north end of Haida Gwaii, Lees was inspired to donate a totem pole to the hospital.
“A third of the patients at Stollery at any given time are [Aboriginal]. It can get as high as two sometimes,” Lees explained.
Haida carver Ben Davidson created the totem pole, with his father and renowned carver Robert Davidson and a few apprentices helping for periods.
Davidson got in contact with the parents of young children who passed away prematurely while he was designing the
pole, including a Skidegate family would chose an eagle.
Davidson asked the parents of three children who died prematurely due to different illnesses to create butterflies, with the parents donating some of their ashes to be mixed in the paint used on the totem pole.
Anchoring the totem pole, Davidson carved a bison to tie in the prairie First Nations people.
The 10-foot, 900-pound totem pole was transported by truck along with the riders, one of which was Davidson.
Participants rode for as much as 165 kilometres in one day, finishing nearly three weeks later in Churchill Square on Canada Day, where the Works Art and Design Festival was taking place.
“We arrived at an arts festival with a 10-foot piece of art,” said Lees.
The group raised $402,000, and Lees said donations are still coming in. The top fundraiser was Alex Webb, 13, who raised $40,000 alone.

They may not have the financial backing of the Vancouver Whitecaps, but the Northwest boys’ under-12 soccer squad will be in Nanaimo to win, just like any Lower Mainland team at the upcoming B.C. Summer Games in Nanaimo next week.
With the players picked and positions all set, all the boys have to do is show up ready to play, but it may be a tough assignment medalling in the eight-team field.
“They’re going to be in tough, but the kids from Rupert will do well,” said Prince Rupert soccer developmental coach Gordan Armstrong.
Those kids will be Kaito Zatylny, Sherangad Sahai, Jarred McMeekin and Brendan Eshom, and between the four of them, they form part of a complete starting lineup.
Zatylny, the youngest of the bunch at only 10-years-old has seen praise heaped on him already for his natural instincts and ability.
“Kaito’s a great young player. He distributes the ball really well and he’s got a great shot,” said Armstrong.
Team Northwest’s coach, Richard Velho, also thinks Zatylny’s the real deal.
“He is one of the most skilled players on the field. He has a great understanding of the game and coupled with his
amazing ball control, he has the ability to make plays on the fly,” said Velho.
The coach has slotted Zatylny at the forward position.
Sahai, the player who can be identified by his big, wide grin, will be a midfielder for Northwest.
“Sean [Sahai] can dance, is his big thing. He’s not the fastest in the world but he’s got I’d say probably some of the best skill in the north. With Sean, he spent some time down south [in B.C. tournaments] but he obviously spends a lot of time in the yard, kicking a ball, juggling. I’ve watched him get trapped by two guys, start juggling the ball and flip it over their heads, doing a 360 off them and running away and I think he was even laughing a couple times doing it,” said Armstrong.
“He holds the team together in centre-mid by being able to take control of the ball and set his fellow teammates up for new plays,” added Velho.
McMeekin is the speedy one. He’ll try and be a rock on defence for Northwest as he attempts to control wave after wave of highly-skilled opponents at the Games.
“Jarred is a feisty defenceman,” said Velho.
“He has a never-give-up attitude when it comes to protecting his end of the field. I believe he has picked up this attitude from being on the Prince Rupert swim club which always challenges him
to better himself.As for Eshom, the lanky defenceman
sure isn’t timid when it comes to his compete level, and that drive led Velho to name the young Rupertite captain.
“Brendan has a positive attitude and the ability to bring intensity to the game,” said Velho.
“He’s a very physical presence on the field,” added Armstrong.
Velho tempers his expectations for the
tourney, but also adds the team has a real opportunity to do some damage against the more popular squads.
“I think if we were a team in the World Cup, we would definitely be Costa Rica. They are an underdog who have come together to play the game they love and show the world they too can stand up to more well-known teams,” said Velho.
“I believe our players ... will make Northern B.C. proud.”

Page seeks volunteers for youth activitiesBY KEVIN CAMPBELLPRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View
“Free” is a word that gets thrown around a lot, but when its for a cause such as this, there isn’t much skepticism behind the term.
The Jim Ciccone Civic Centre hosted its first Saturday night open-doored youth program, which involves programs such as free ball hockey, skateboarding, basketball, rock-climbing, yoga, first-aid, arts and crafts and badminton and even instrumental music lessons.
The sessions, which run from 8 to 10 p.m. on Saturday nights, are aimed at youth who would otherwise be inactive, or roaming the streets during the summer
months, even on occasion, smashing windows, says Marc Page, a member of the Prince Rupert recreation commission.
“We’re really pushing to get more people out to work with the kids,” said Page, who had 15-20 kids come out to the first session, who mainly participated in skateboarding.
One program volunteer came out to teach guitar lessons, but there wasn’t much interest from the kids who were present.
“We’re hoping to get more volunteers on board so we can offer more programs for kids, say a basketball tournament or a ball-hockey tournament or if there’s any music lessons or even a yoga instructor that might be interested, we
just need to target ... different groups of kids so that we’re not just targeting the skateboarders,” said Page.
The Rupertite noticed a concerning trend of smashed windows a few years ago throughout downtown businesses and pleaded with city council to find a solution to the problem.
Council reportedly responded with the message that it’s a social issue, and that immediate remedies would be difficult to fund and enforce, other than an increased nightly police presence. Page’s idea for free youth programs on weekend nights was produced from these talks.
The Loaded Sports business owner is seeking anyone interested in helping to produce a vibrant and productive
youth community to volunteer for any of these Saturday nights. Page would have preferred to include Friday nights as well but the commission was only given the green light for Saturdays due to the centre’s rental fees.
A Facebook group called “Volunteer for Healthy Kids” has been established to gather a base of volunteers and anyone with an expertise in any area that can pass along their knowledge to the kids who show up to the free sessions.
“If you want to look that up, you can join that group and keep yourself informed on what we’re doing, and get a little bit more information on the history and why the group was started,” said Page.

Mike Lewis weighs his options as he readies to run to third base during Rupert Wood N’ Steel’s 21-14 victory versus the MacKenzie 69ers.
Defence thrown out the door in muddy classicDefence thrown out the door in muddy classicBY KEVIN CAMPBELLPRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View
It wasn’t a day for pitchers. But then in downpours, it rarely is.
In Kaien Island Slo-pitch League action last Thurday, the bats got soaked and home plate was more pond than pitch in Rupert Wood N’ Steel’s match versus the MacKenzie 69ers.
Both teams reached well into double digits in a 21-14 victory for Rupert Wood ‘N Steel and the game astonishingly featured only one home run; that of the inside-the-park, sweat-it-out kind.
“It was pretty awesome. I was just checking [the play] out [over my shoulder],” said the home run’s keeper, Mike Lewis of Wood ‘N Steel.
Three errors by MacKenzie allowed the short stop to capitalize on his long-field bomb to make it 6-2 at the top of the second inning to cap off a wild first inning explosion of runs that gave the lead to Wood N’ Steel which they would never relinquish.
Lewis’ homer began another five-run inning, enacting the mercy rule, ending the offense from Wood ‘N Steel for a little while before MacKenzie notched a comeback. A five-run inning of their own in the bottom of the third made it 10-7 and the squad sat down all three batters to follow that in the top of the third.
It’s no wonder Wood ‘N Steel can connect on the pitch, since they’ve been
together as a group for the better part of five years.
“Without my team members, I wouldn’t perform the way I’m performing,” said Lewis, who is getting trained at the short stop position after team captain Sammy Bryant held the spot before Lewis.
“My usual position is out in left field or right, it depends on who we’re playing. That’s why I’m out there, I’ve got an arm too,” said Lewis.
Bryant had to wear MacKenzie’s colours on this day, along with a couple teammates to fill some holes on the 69ers’ roster. The Wood ‘N Steel captain made some nice grabs out in left field on his own teammates to bring MacKenzie to within two runs when the score was 16-14.
Matt Jackson also had quite the outing, sliding into both second and third-base, muddying his sweater in the process. Wood ‘N Steel would later strand him at third, with the inside of his car his only worry after being half-coated in turf.
Jackson and first-baseman Miranda Shaw would make a nice play in the infield to make the second-last out at first after Jackson threw an accurate blast to first. He’d later catch the final out on a pop fly.
“[The rain] is more of a confidence boost for me, because this is our weather that we like to play in,” said Lewis, who
joined the team five years ago through his girlfriend Jade Benner. Lewis is now 18 and won’t be back in uniform for Wood ‘N Steel for another six weeks.
“I got a forestry job in Fort St. John so that’s where I’ll be ... I’ll probably make a few more games in the playoffs [when I return] so that’s something I’m definitely looking forward to.”
“This is our weather that we “This is our weather that we like to play in.”like to play in.”

PRFC fell to Hazelton, 3-2, in their fi nal match of the inaugural Greenville soccer tournament, held annually in Nass Valley.
PRFC secure second-place in Greenville tourney
BY KEVIN CAMPBELLPRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View
The Prince Rupert Football Club (PRFC) is on quite a tear this year and their latest triumph came in Nass Valley in Greenville, scoring 17 goals in four games.
At their inaugural soccer tournament to break in the new athletic complex, the Greenville Athletic Club pulled out all the stops, including a concert from the band Trooper on June 27 for their 10-team, $10,000 prize money, double-elimination tournament. PRFC finished in second-place. Earlier in May, they won the Gitsegukla Annual Tournament.
“We played Kitimat in the first game and we beat them 7-0 and then we played Hazelton next and we beat them 2-1. it’s always tight with Hazelton,” said PRFC member Matt Anderson.
And that wouldn’t be the last they’d see of their rivals who, in Gitsegukla, were the only team to defeat the Rupertites. They were PRFC’s dance partner in the final.
“We’ve had quite a history over the last five or six years. It’s been a lot of us and them in the finals [of these tournaments],” said Anderson.
PRFC played Kitwanga in their third
match and took the contest 6-2, scoring a couple late goals. Then came the final versus the familiar Hazelton crew.
After playing to a 1-1 deadlock, Hazelton blew the game open, going up 3-1 on PRFC, before the club scored once more, but couldn’t pull even before time expired in the 90-minute match. Mike De Lima and Jurgan Wagner were the goal-scorers for the Rupert side, with Rampi Gill playing outstandingly in goal.
“We just battled, battled, battled and we got one more but we just couldn’t come back,” said Anderson.
PRFC received $3,000 for their
second-place showing; a total that will add on to the $4,000 they received in Gitsegukla. The team paid $500 to enter the Greenville tourney.
During the weekend, the clubs camped
out and ate some First Nations’ dishes including some sockeye salmon that were native to the turquoise-green rivers that inhabit the Nass Valley.
“Once you get up there ... [the area’s] all covered in moss,” said Anderson.
PRFC’s De Lima and Eric Faion tied a member of Hazelton for the golden boot award with five goals each while the two players, along with Marcel Barrelon were named tournament all-stars. Taylor Baker received most sportsmanlike and Addy Phu-ngam was named the hardest worker. Gill played his way to the best goaltender moniker.
Club wins $3,000 in tournament that saw them score 17 goals in four games

Something really different
BY KEVIN CAMPBELLPRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View
Northern Health is looking for a way to bring a face to its message of safety and wellness and the organization wants B.C. residents to help them do it.
Running until July 18, voters can visit www.blog.northernhealth.ca/nh-mascot-contest and pick a furry friend to be Northern Health’s mascot. Voters have the option of selecting either “Spirit the Caribou” or “Rex the bear”. Each mascot has a different design and backstory and each was submitted through a design contest Northern Health held earlier in the year.
“Spirit”, as the website states, stresses staying healthy and strong through “exercising, eating well and making the right choice for himself and his body”. His backstory illustrates a young caribou who had gotten lost in the woods one day, and came down with a cold. Spirit visited the doctor, who told him that even though washing his hands is a minor task, it’s an important one to stay healthy.
“Rex”, the blue bear “represents all living things in the north and is the ruler of well-being (medical, psychological and spiritual) ... His strong physique and sparkle in his eye represent his excellent state of health. He lives in the north and is therefore is a survivor of long, cold winters and lean times,” the site explains.
“Northern Health hopes to use the mascot to make health more accessible to a wider, younger audience and promote upstream health management, such as healthy eating, active living, injury
prevention, tobacco reduction and more,” said the press release distributed by the company.
The mascot will also participate in the 2015 Canada Winter Games torch relay.

We had our first Thursday coffee social and sing-a-long on July 3 and it was quite enjoyable. Not too many seniors showed up but the ones who did were entertained by the grandchildren in attendance. We will continue with the social through July and see if there is still interest for August.
Don’t forget that Thursday July 17 is our Arts and Crafts Display Day as well.
During the summer the seniors’ centre remains open Monday thru Friday 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. and we continue with our lunch service for members as well. Lunch is served from 11:30 to 1 p.m.. There is usually homemade soup available and we make a variety of sandwiches, all served and provided by volunteers.
We love volunteers!

The remains of piers and wharves from early 20th-century towns and settlements were the major discovery that Parks Canada’s underwater archaeologist Jonathan Moore made with his team during the past few weeks surveying the Gwaii Haanas region’s underwater expanse.
While originally looking for signs of shipwrecks, Moore’s team of six scientists boarded Parks Canada’s Gwaii Haanas II ship to survey the seafloor and coastal underbelly of southern Haida Gwaii, as the location is a national conservation area.
“I guess you could call them ghost towns now but we did find artifacts and some remains of some of the piers and wharves that were at these towns and industrial sites, but not a substantial
amount,” said Moore last week.The archaeologist’s team used a
variety of methods to scan the ocean floor, including remote sensing with sonar, magnetometers and specialized diving techniques.
“We didn’t find any archaeological traces of the earliest wrecks that we were looking for,” said Moore, who noted the visibility of the area he was searching was not the best due to plankton growth and choppy currents.
While the team kept records of their findings through first-hand accounts and technological charts and research
through their machinery, Moore said they did not physically recover or bring any artifacts out of the depths. They released their findings in a presentation in Skidegate at the heritage centre.
A typical day for the divers often included shoreline searches or scanning underwater depending on the weather and state of the sea state.
“I don’t think there will be any major eureka moments stemming from this episode unless something crops up in the data ... there’s nothing major to report,” said Moore.
“What we were finding were these eroded stumps of what once would have been very sizable structures just eroded down to the seafloor and you can imagine that marine organisms have consumed the wood and we’ve got fairly warm waters in the Pacific around Gwaii Haanas so the biological decay is perhaps quicker than other parts of the country.”
Search for shipwrecks comes up empty

Haida Gwaii topping lists for
must-see destination
BY MARTINA PERRYHAIDA GWAII / Black Press
Haida Gwaii is rapidly earning distinction both globally and nationwide as a must-see destination.
Haida Gwaii was named to two different Top 10 lists by travel writers in Canada and in Europe.
“You don’t have to leave Canada for bucket-list worthy destinations”, published by The Globe and Mail
last week, compared the Gwaii Haanas National Park Reserve to the remote Galapagos Islands west of continental Ecuador.
“This rugged West Coast archipelago is a protected region, from ocean floor to moutain top. Yachts sail among pods of whales and colonies of sea lions, with onshore excursions to explore old-growth forest and original Haida totem poles,” the article states.
The northern part of Haida Gwaii was also acknowledged for its beauty, with London’s The Guardian newspaper listing North Beach in its most recent series called “Top 10 budget beach hotels, hostels and campsites near Vancouver, B.C.”.
“At the islands’ most northerly tip you’ll find Naikoon provincial park’s wet and wild North Beach: hardy souls can try walk-in wilderness camping (pack wet-weather gear) or head to the oceanfront Agate Beach Campground. Comb the beach for colourful pebbles, agate rocks, crabs, clams and razor shells,” reads the article.
“This is Haida Nation territory where according to legend creation began when the raven coaxed the first people out of a clam shell.”

Northern Health has announced that the new chief medical health officer will be Dr. Sandra Allison.
Dr. Allison comes from Manitoba where she spent the last two years as a medical health officer based in Brandon. Her career also includes practice as a family physician in Brandon, Churchill and Winnipeg.
“We’re thrilled to have Dr. Allison join our team at Northern Health,” said Cathy Ulrich, Northern Health chief executive officer and president. “Her experience in rural medicine from Manitoba will be an asset to the organization as she brings new and innovative ideas, while continuing work on programs that are currently serving northerners.”
“The role of Chief Medical Health Officer for Northern Health requires a range of skills that serve diverse communities across a large geographic area,” said Provincial Health Officer Dr. Perry Kendall. “I welcome Dr. Allison to this challenging new role and am confident that her extensive experience and previous role as medical
health officer in Brandon, Manitoba means that she is well prepared to serve the unique needs of British Columbians in the north.”
Teaching is another passion of Dr. Allison’s, as she serves as an Assistant Professor at the University of Manitoba in the departments of Community Health Services and Family Medicine as well as a faculty advisor for the Faculty of Health Sciences at Brandon Manitoba.
“Medical education is another passion of mine, and it is great to see programs focusing on health being delivered in northern B.C.,” said Dr. Allison. “There are definitely partnerships that can grow and expand to allow us to better serve the public.”
The Chief Medical Health Officer for Northern Health is the lead for the public health team that works to improve the health of people in the north by preventing illness, promoting healthy choices, and helping eliminate or avoid outbreaks.

Charmayne Carlson, owner of Dolly’s Fish Market, has always been an avid fan of the Food Network, but never dreamed her restaurant would be featured on the channel.
But at the end of June, a Food Network crew and one of Canada’s most well-known celebrity chefs were at Dolly’s Fish Market filming for a future episode of Pitchin In.
“I’m just a business girl trying to do the best I can. I was shocked when I got the phone call,” Carlson said.
“A p p a r e n t l y we’re doing something right here.”
Carlson said the Food Network contacted her in mid-April about being included in an episode of the popular Food Network series, alongside Lynn Crawford, who has more than 25 years of culinary experience. The series follows Crawford as she visits fishermen, farmers and food growers around North America searching for the freshest and best ingredients.
“They said they were going to call back in a couple
of weeks, but we didn’t hear back from them until a week before they showed up,” she said.
Crawford and a Food Network crew spent five hours shooting at Dolly’s on June 30, and Carlson
said she helped with every aspect of the restaurant. “From making the Elites, to being on the line, to
serving food, answering my phone. Just everything. It was crazy,” she said, adding the whole team at Dolly’s was involved in the filming.
Carlson promises the episode Dolly’s will be featured in will be anything but dry. The crew interviewed both Carlson and her daughter Yaishia Schlez, who manages the front end of the restaurant.
“I was being me ... it definitely will not be a dry show. There was a lot of humour in there. It was so fun working with her. She’s such a high energy, bubbly person. Her and I together, it was like a stick of dynamite going off,” laughed Carlson.
“She’s my mentor. I love Lynn. She’s a Canadian girl; I love her personality and the way she cooks. I watch her on the Food Network all of the time,” said Carlson, adding she’s was glowing for a week after filming.
Carlson feels honoured to have worked alongside Crawford, and said the celebrity chef even asked to bring back one of her recipes with her to Toronto.
“She asked to take my Halibut Elite burger recipe back to Toronto to put on her menu there,” she said.
“It’s been 10 years of hard work to get here. I work seven days a week, and very, very long hours,” Carlson said, adding all of her hard work has been worth it.
A broadcast date for the episode of Pitchin In that Dolly’s will be featured in has not yet been announced.
On top of the Food Network, Carlson said BC Tourism is also filming at the restaurant in the afternoon of July 9.

Radically new Cherokee returns after 20 yearsJeep has been one of the strongest brands for the Chrysler Group, thanks to the fantastic Grand Cherokee mid-sized SUV and the always-popular Wrangler. Building off that success is the introduction of an all-new Cherokee. It has been almost twenty years since we had a Cherokee in the market and this one is radically different from anything one might remember. Since the Chrysler group didn’t have a small SUV in its portfolio to take on established players like the Toyota RAV4, Honda CR-V and Ford Escape, this 2014 Cherokee has a lot riding on its successLooksUnlike the last 1990s Cherokee, this radically different Jeep is based on a car platform instead of a rugged truck chassis. This approach is lighter, to save fuel, and rewards the driver with good on-road manners. Built off the same Alfa Romeo-derived platform
that the Dodge Dart uses, the styling is edgy and modern. The sharp nose and small headlamps, along with the curved Jeep grille make a statement. Some Jeep aficionados might not be intrigued by this new design but newcomers to the brand might. The starting price is $23,495, which is less than it’s major com-petitors. For this price, you get standard air conditioning, Bluetooth connectivity, two USB ports, a 5-inch Uconnect screen and power win-dows/doors. The AWD
model starts at $25,695, which is also the lowest price model in this class. The closest competitor, on price, image and capability might be the Subaru Forester for $25,995.InsideThe interior of the all-new Cherokee is more upscale than most of the compet-itors. The doors, armrest and dash are covered in soft touch materials. The front
seats are supportive and comfortable. The rear seats too are comfy and slide for and aft for more cargo storage. When placed in the normal position, the legroom isn’t ample but on par with others in this class. Connecting to the Cherokee is a snap with the optional 8.4-inch Uconnect system that pairs with smartphone in seconds, is very quick between commands, and has nice looking graphics. The base screen is five inches but has many of the same functionality. Behind the steering wheel, inside the instrument cluster, is another programmable screen for all the infor-mation the driver needs frequently.DriveThe base 2.4L 4-cylinder with 184hp is the base engine on all trim levels. For just $1,300 any Cherokee can be equipped with the optional 3.2L V6 en-gine – making the walk up to this 271hp engine within reach for many buyers. In addition, this is the very first application of a 9-speed automatic anywhere in the auto industry, providing improved fuel economy and drivability. Having a chance to drive both the 4-cylinder and V6 models with the all-new 9-speed automatic, I’m torn. The V6 is the engine of choice for towing, steep mountain
runs and longer distance driving. The flip side is that the 4-cylinder is a very good in-city commuter and the lighter engine helps this Cherokee to corner, brake and manouevre better. The 9-speed automat-ic shifts quickly and smoothly, in fact I forgot it had so many cogs but it does improve fuel economy with a highway rating of 6.4L/100km with the 4-cylinder and 7.0L with the V6. Most Canadians will opt for the AWD versions thanks to our winter conditions, but here too there are more choices. Jeep has included three AWD systems. The first is a called Active Drive 1 with a selectable drive mode called Select-Ter-rain, for automatic, snow, mud and sand settings. The second is called Active Drive 2 and offers a two-speed mode for low speed crawling. The most aggres-sive system is Active Drive Lock, which comes in the off-road purpose-built Cherokee called Trailhawk. The Trailhawk is a ‘real’ Jeep; this is thanks to a locking rear differential and a host of electronic aids. The most impressive feature is the low speed crawling mode for both up and down hill tasks. Therefore, Jeep purists, yes there is a Cherokee for you. VerdictThis new Cherokee is off to a fantastic start. Sales are strong and the sharp design is bringing in buyers, not shoving them away. The 2014 Cherokee could not be further away from the last model; this is a thoroughly modern SUV with go-anywhere capability and around-town refinement that needs to be experienced.The LowdownPower: 184hp 2.4L 4-cylinder, and 271hp 3.2L V6. Fill-up: 9.9L/7.0L/100km (city/highway AWD) Sticker price: $23,695-$32,195

A good off-roader, comfortable and an easy street performer, the Cherokee does both equally well.

Peter Gerard Finnigan
September 9, 1930 to
June 27, 2014
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Peter
Finnigan. Peter was born in Vancouver, B.C. He moved to Prince Rupert
in 1951 and worked as an Electrician at the Prince Rupert Pulp Mill until he retired. Peter looked forward to having more time in retirement to pursue his wildlife photography.
Peter will be lovingly remembered by his wife of 63 years, Vin and two children Steve (Lynne) and Tom, brother James Ronald; a.k.a. Mickey, (Bev, son Perry) of Prince George.
Three grandchildren, Kerri (Daryl), Rae, Steven (Brittaney) Finnigan and Richard Burton, and his three great-grandchildren Taylor, Jayden Rae and Penelope Finnigan.
The family would like to thank Dr. Kloppers for his care of Peter. A very special thank you goes out to the nurses on the third floor of Prince Rupert Regional Hospital for the wonderful support and compassion they gave to Peter and the family.
Per Peter’s request there will be no service. In lieu of flowers donations may be made to the Prince Rupert Wildlife Shelter.
