FIRE IT UPFIRE IT UP

BY MARTINA PERRYPRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

The plight of Durwin Gordon, published by The Northern View on May 7, has shined a light on what advocates for the homeless say is a problem nearing crisis levels in Prince Rupert.

Gordon was forced to spend several nights on the street in April, but donations have since allowed him to temporarily stay at the Moby Dick Inn.

Peggy Davenport, a retired nurse who is trying to help Gordon find a permanent home, said Gordon had stayed at Raffles Inn previously, but was unable to go back after a spinal injury left him paralyzed from the waist down. He was placed at Sunset Villa on a medical stay and eventually applied for one of the BC Housing development’s two wheelchair-accessible units. According to

Davenport, Gordon was denied because “he wouldn’t be able to keep the apartment clean”.

There are four wheelchair-accessible BC Housing units in the community and a spokesperson for the agency told the Northern View there was no waiting list for these units as of March 31. The agency isn’t permitted to discuss specific cases, but a representative said the Housing Registry may deny individuals a

unit for a variety of reasons ranging from an unsatisfactory tenancy history or worsening their current living situation to outstanding debt to a subsidized housing provider.

Davenport claims that Gordon has run out of housing options; he depends on government assistance and is unable to find wheelchair-accessible low-cost rental properties. When hotel room donations run out, Gordon will be homeless.

And he’s not alone. Two organizations that provide emergency shelters in Prince Rupert have seen usage increase in the past year, and at maximum capacity a number of times.

The Prince Rupert Salvation Army said demand is high for the eight beds at Raffles Inn it supplies to the homeless.

As the long weekend began, family and friends of Jonathan Knight remained in the dark about what happened to the Prince Rupert man.

Knight was last seen at 2:30 p.m. on May 7 and was scheduled to pick a friend up from work at 10 p.m. that day, but he never showed. The next day, the Dodge Durango he had been driving was recovered at Telegraph Point approximately 62 kilometres east of Prince Rupert. Inside the vehicle, RCMP discovered the receipt for a seven-foot inflatable boat with a foot pump and firestarter. His hat was later found down the river.

The location, coupled with recent research, led friends to believe he had tried to cross the river to get to a cabin in the Khatada Lake / Davis Lake area.

With that information, RCMP were joined by the Royal Canadian Marine Search and Rescue Station 64 out of Prince Rupert and the Terrace Ground Search and Rescue along the Skeena River on Wednesday and Thursday. But it would be a private boater who radioed in to say he had spotted the boat in question along the banks.

Upon arrival, Cpl. Dave Tyreman said the boat was found right side up with the paddle, foot pump and carrying bag still inside, meaning the boat had not tipped over or otherwise capsized. However, there were no ropes on the bow or stern of the boat, leading RCMP to believe Knight made it across the river, gathered his equipment and walked away without securing it to the shore.

Searches continued on land and water on Friday, but there was still no sign of the 24-year-old.

“At this point we have nothing. We just have to hope that once he needs assistance or runs out of food that he will make his way to the river bank where he left the

boat and search and rescue personnel will find him,” said Tyreman.

“We’re definitely not giving up.”

Knight is described as a white male, 5’11” in height, 204 lbs with green eyes, brown hair,

moustache and goatee.Anyone with information

Million-dollar grants for the Northwest

BY JOSH MASSEY TERRACE / Black Press

The provincial government says it’s going to give northwestern municipal governments, including Prince Rupert and Port Edward, up to $1 million to handle growth pressures tied to industrial development.

The announcement was made by Minister of Community, Sport and Cultural Development Coralee Oakes on Friday.

“The item that was the most significant and important for me is how to prepare northwest communities for the great opportunity but also the great challenges we have ahead,” said Oakes of her first year as MLA in charge of her own ministry.

The money will flow in two equal streams for assessment and planning – one to figure out what water, sewer, road and other projects are needed and the other to adapt land use and other associated bylaws as industrial expansion takes place.

Oakes said she recognized the $150,000 promised to the northwest by Premier Christy Clark in September wasn’t sufficient to help communities deal with the impacts of industrial growth.

“I went back with what I had heard from the communities and I said ‘look, this isn’t really going to be enough to help the communities to prepare,’” she said.

Regional districts and municipalities in northwestern B.C. will be able to apply for the money through the Northern Development Initiative Trust which, along with representatives of the provincial government, will help groups develop proposals and decide how the money is allotted.

Oakes said the funds will be used for developing engineered proposals for infrastructure that can then be used to apply for various federal grants and to agencies such as BC Housing. Oakes said she also wants proposals to address culture and recreation.

“When you are building a community, it’s not just about pipes in the ground.”

RCMP spent three days last week searching for Jonathan Knight along the banks of the Skeena River.

“We’ve been fairly busy. I would estimate that we’re averaging about 80 per cent occupancy. Last year, it was about 50 per cent,” said Capt. Gary Sheils, noting all beds have been taken on several occasions.

The North Coast Transition Society (NCTS) provides homeless outreach services such as providing support to individuals stabilizing their lives and helping find affordable housing. The society manages and operates the Eagles Landings Apartments, setting aside eight rooms for anyone without a place to stay, two of which are wheelchair accessible. All of these units are currently in use.

Christine White, NCTA executive director, said there has been an increase in the number of people using the society’s services over the past year, with the NTCS being forced to turn away individuals because all units were in use.

White fears this trend will continue. “The expected increase in employment

will have a big effect on available rental housing and the risk of homelessness to low income clients will increase,” she said.

Capt. Sheils believes the jump is being created by people who have lost their former residences for whatever reason, noting many low-cost rentals are being snatched up by community-newcomers.

City councillor Joy Thorkelson said the lack of affordable and supportive rental units in the community needs to be addressed before the expected influx of

people comes with proposed development.“We at the Fishermen’s Hall already

had three homeless people two weeks ago come down to the union hall looking for a place to stay out of the rain ... because they couldn’t stay at the shelter,” she said.

“If we don’t do anything we’re going to see our community starting to look like downtown Vancouver.”

Thorkelson said non-profit housing buildings that were demolished in the community should have all been replaced by BC Housing and the government. In the past decade the province has torn down 90 affordable housing units in Prince Rupert and have rebuilt 48 since 2009: 23 for women and children and 25 for seniors.

“At the time, BC Housing determined it was not economically feasible to rebuild the same number of units in the community as they would likely continue to remain vacant,” said a BC Housing spokesperson, noting the province introduced an assistance program in 2006 to help low-income families living in private housing.

Currently, BC Housing and its housing providers have 439 subsidized units in Prince Rupert, with 37 households receiving rental supplements to keep the cost of private market rentals modest.

When asked if all units are in use, the agency said it “works with a number of non-profit housing providers in Prince Rupert” and doesn’t “have immediate access to the rental status of all their

properties”. M’akola Housing Society manages

a majority of BC Housing properties in Prince Rupert, with 48 of the 332 units it administers being vacant. However, none of these are currently available to rent, with 19 being unfit to live in and 29 at various stages of the rental process or under repair.

As of March 31, there were 55 applicants on the Housing Registry waiting list.

“If someone is without shelter, they are not put on a waiting list. Housing outreach providers funded by the province will work with our housing partners to provide shelter that could include space in an emergency shelter or stable housing,” said

a BC Housing representative. “The province is working with northern

communities to manage the growth expected due to resource sector activity over the next few years”.

Council passed a motion to lobby provincial and federal governments for more supportive housing in Prince Rupert, requesting a meeting to discuss what can be done.

NCTS’s housing outreach program can be contacted at 250-627-8959 ext. 24, while at-risk women and their children are encouraged to call 250-600-0793. The Salvation Army program can be reached at 250-622-7348.

Although community donations have allowed Durwin Gordon to stay at the Moby Dick Inn instead of the streets, his situation brought attention to the lack of affordable housing.

Housing shortage looms as industry developsHousing shortage looms as industry developsHOUSING from Page A1

Sometimes you just have to look politicians square in the eyes and say:

“Good try, but everything you just said is completely useless. Would you like to try again?”

Such is the case with Justice Minister Suzanne Anton this week as she attempted to spin something out of thin air to make it look like the government has done anything about the Highway of Tears between Prince Rupert and

Prince George since Wally Oppal released his public inquiry report in December, 2012.

You see, she said there is the affordable Northern Health Connections bus and, through a contract with the province, Telus is working to extend cellular coverage along Highway 16. These things are making the highway safer.

But the problem with this is both of these things were in place well before Oppal ever tabled his report. The Connections Bus has been running for more than five years and the contract in question was signed with Telus in 2011.

The one major recommendation related to Highway 16 coming from Oppal and his public inquiry into missing and murdered women in the province was that “the province should develop and implement an enhanced public transit system to provide safe travels between northern communities, particularly along Highway 16”.

And in that regard, if you put the movement of glacial ice against progress by the province one can be failry certain the glacier would win time and time again.

Going back to the criticism that the NDP have been leveling against the government for the past two years, the truth of the matter is the province has done absolutely nothing in the past 18 months to make safer a stretch of highway where more than a dozen women have gone missing or been murdered.

It just doesn’t seem to be a priority on the radar and to insinuate otherwise is completely disingenous.

So, once again, good try, but everything you just said is completely useless.

Would you like to try again?

Minister’s talk totally useless

Maybe, just maybe Christy Clark and the B.C. Liberals are getting their heads out of their Lower Mainland.

But then there’s Todd.A few weeks back, I suggested that

Northwest B.C.’s share of the provincial pie, made mainly by Northern ingredients, was long overdue.

Well, on Friday we got a small slice.In an announcement last week, Minister of

Community, Sport and Cultural Development Coralee Oakes said communities such as Port Edward and Prince Rupert would be receiving up to $1 million to handle resource development growth pressures.

To her credit, she said she saw that the paltry $150,000 promised earlier by Clark was not enough.

“I went back with what I had heard from the communities and I said ‘look, this isn’t really going to be enough to help the communities to prepare,’” she said in an article on Page 2 of The Northern View.

The “up to” one million dollars is welcome but certainly a long way from what will be needed — sooner rather than later.

But give ‘em credit, it’s a start ... and it’s not even an election year.

That said, Todd Stone still has his head stuck up his Coquihalla. The Kamloops-South Thompson MLA and

Minister of Transport, continues to punish the North Coast for the temerity of electing a NDP member.

Punish is not a strong enough word, but it will have to suffice as this is a G-rated newspaper.

Stone suggested a while back that if, MIA, er, MLA Jennifer Rice wanted her ferry routes back on the North Coast, she might want to support LNG.

John Horgan, the man who won the job nobody wanted and Rice’s new boss, has publicly pledged NDP support of LNG development.

For the love of God Jennifer, do what your boss is telling you to do and give Todd what he wants and let’s get our ferry service back.

As you so eloquently pointed out in your speech to the Legislature, design companies and bed and breakfasts will be tremendously injured.

But Jennifer and Todd, the ferry cuts go much deeper.Other companies and people, like, I dunno, every damn, er,

darn business and person on Haida Gwaii or the North Coast is, and will be, hurting.

As Shaun Thomas pointed out in last week’s The Northern View front page article about full sailings, waitlists and essential supplies piling up awaiting a ferry, the idiocy of Stone’s decision is not only apparent — it borders on petulant.

Todd you made a mistake. Now fix it.You are embarassing a proud first name — Minister.

Letters to the editorLetters to the editor Container conversion created opportunitiesAs a breakbulk

handling facili-ty, Fairview Ter-

minal was well-utilized between its first vessel call in 1973 and the early 1990s, when terminal throughput began to decline across all lines of business. Despite the port’s best efforts to replace the steady loss of lumber volumes with pulp from across western Canada, by the year 2000 nearly all forest products for export were being loaded into containers in BC’s southern ports and ex-ported to Asia. In 2002, volumes through Fairview were negligible.

As early as 1996, Port Authority staff launched studies into the po-tential for converting the terminal to a container handling facility, as it was clear any future opportunities for Fairview lay in containerized trade.

For any port to operate a successful container terminal, it requires both import traffic and loaded containers for export to attract major shipping companies. Unlike most other North American ports, Prince Rupert does not have a large population to support the large-scale import of consumer goods from Asia. Fortunately, the Port of Prince Rupert’s geographic proximity to Asia and rail corridor connection give it a sig-nificant advantage in time and cost for linking inbound cargoes to major markets all over the continent.

In fact, the absence of a local market gave Prince Rupert the opportu-nity to create a unique, modern intermodal operation, without interfer-ence from road traffic or congestion on its underutilized rail link.

Initial planning was for a modest conversion of Fairview Terminal pegged at $28 million, which would only handle container ships with a 3,000–4,000 TEU (twenty-foot equivalent unit) capacity. It quickly be-came apparent that to capitalize on the port’s natural deep water advan-tage, the new terminal would need to accommodate the newer, larger container ships being designed for trans-Pacific trade, which at the time were as large as 13,000 TEUs. Specific investments by senior levels of government helped the Port Authority confirm the ambitious vision.

A number of terminal operators responded to the Port Authority’s call for submissions. Maher Terminals of New Jersey stood out. With 60 years of experience, including operating the largest container terminal in North America, Maher signed an agreement with the Port in 2004. It gave the project increased credibility in the international marine commu-nity.

In September 2007, the conversion project was completed and Fair-view Terminal was opened for business. Despite launching at the outset of a major collapse in world trade, when other West Coast facilities expe-rienced dramatic reductions in traffic, the terminal experienced immedi-ate success. This is likely due to the combined enthusiasm of its operator and the labour of local ILWU workers, who embraced the sophisticated techniques involved in working at the new state-of-the-art facility. It was also a result of Prince Rupert’s unique value proposition—and, of course, the decision by the COSCO container shipping line to serve the port.

In just over six years, Fairview Container Terminal developed into one of the fastest-growing container terminals in the world, and today serves Canada as a premier gateway for diverse types of containerized cargo, both imported and exported.

Opinion

Port Simpson ideal for refineryEditor:Anything would be an improvement on the

Enbridge bitumen shipping proposal as it stands.To use David Black’s words in his recent column

concerning his refinery proposal, “the grounding of the Exxon Valdez in Alaska in 1989 is often held up as an example of how bad an oil spill ... can be”. However, a spill of bitumen at sea would be much worse.

The Exxon Valdez carried light crude. After four years of work, less than 10 per cent of the [oil] has been recovered.”

Some say that, with GPS-based navigation and double hulls, spills such as Exxon Valdez are not possible today. “They are wrong,” Black says. “Double hulls do not prevent hull fracture ... most marine accidents are caused by human inattention.”

So another Exxon Valdez could happen in the Douglas Channel, even with Black’s refined products.

But, build the refinery and bitumen shipping terminal in a more acceptable location – in the Port Simpson area – and at the same time helping Northern Gateway to regain some B.C. public support.

And begin shipping bitumen to world markets sooner, while we wait for the refinery to be completed.

The relatively perfect solution would be to convince Kinder Morgan to also move to the Port Simpson area, also jointly with Enbridge and Black’s refinery.

This would very much reduce the threat of bitumen spills in southern B.C.’s very busy waters.

Maybe Mr. Harper could chat with Kinder Morgan folks and start the ball rolling – increasing greatly the possibility that any bitumen pipelines will be built in B.C., ever – as proposed.

Carl Shalansky,North Vancouver, B.C.

Neither oil option is appealingEditor:Oh great, we have a “debate” between

David Black and the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers.

Here I was thinking the question was: “do we have oil tankers or no oil tankers?” And I thought we decided 25 years ago — no oil tankers. Since the Valdez oil spill we’ve had a moratorium.

Now, according to Black and the CAPP, the decision is not whether or not to risk an oil spill, it’s which kind of oil.

Let me see if I can follow Black’s logic. We don’t want to risk an oil spill. A bitumen spill is worse than an oil spill. Therefore, let’s risk an oil

spill. In fact that’s the green choice!Or is his refinery going to produce soda

pop? It would produce oil just like the oil which devastated 750 kilometres in Alaska.

We couldn’t clean it up then and everyone acknowledges we can’t clean it up now.

Luanne RothPrince Rupert

“We couldn’t clean it up then “We couldn’t clean it up then ... we can’t clean it up now.”... we can’t clean it up now.”

- Luanne Roth- Luanne Roth

Job vision could be blurredEditor:With Kitimat Clean (KC), David Black

proposes “reducing the planet’s greenhouse gas emissions”

Laudable, but is it greenwash? The end use of KC’s product will augment GGE, and the tar sands, KC’s source, has its own sorry story with more than just global warming. Moreover, the threat of Northern Gateway is in no way reduced.

Need for caution on Mr. Black’s argument appears most graphically when paint from his

green brush gets in his eyes and he contradicts himself: his claimed jobs “in excess of 50 years” two paragraphs later becomes “good permanent jobs.” Vision can so blind us.

If he wishes “far better for the global environment”, Mr. Black could invest in conversion to fixed rail transport and plastics alternatives: extraordinary job creation, with a safer future.

Port Edward ready for development BY SHAUN THOMAS PORT EDWARD / The Northern View

The final piece of the planning puzzle has fallen into place for the District of Port Edward.

L&M Engineering provided a final copy of the new Subdivision and Development Services Bylaw to members of council on May 13. It is a comprehensive 104-page document covering everything from who can approve potential construction, what type of requirements are needed in terms of drainage, lighting and road construction to what needs to be included in any schematics or design documentation provided.

Combined with the district’s new Official Community Plan and zoning bylaws, David McWalter of L&M Engineering said the municipality is ready for whatever may be coming.

“In preparation for whatever LNG may bring, whether that be development or subdivisions, you now have the tools deal with it ... it is a solid, water-tight bylaw that will allow you to control the future of development in Port Edward,” he said.

“You have come a long way in terms of preparing for LNG. It is now a matter of: Bring it on.”

However, when questioned about whether a large industrial

development like Westview Terminal could conceivably be built in Port Edward, McWalter said there is one way that could be out of council’s hand.

“That was built on federally-controlled land. On federal land they can skirt the bylaws of the municipality for development,” he said, noting there is very little federal land within the municipal boundaries.

“Unlike Prince Rupert, you are unlikely to get a development that will block the view of your waterfront.”

Council gave the bylaw its first three readings on Tuesday night and will revisit it at the meeting scheduled for May 27.

COMING DOWNCOMING DOWNCity’s expansion plans approved


The City of Prince Rupert just got a little bigger.

On May 16, the provincial government announced it had approved a request from council to include the land containing the city’s water supply on the other side of Fern Passage within the municipal boundaries.

District Lot 444 is a parcel of land already owned by the city, but Mayor Jack Mussallem said it was important to get it within the formal boundary.

“This inclusion protects the city’s source of drinking water and will lead to sustainable growth and other opportunities,” he said.

Minister of Community, Sport and Cultural Development Coralee Oakes also noted the inclusion of this land presents some good opportunities for the city going forward.

“The Government of British Columbia is pleased to work with local governments in the Northwest to prepare for industrial development and the economic opportunity it will bring to communities,” she said.

The city applied to the province for the inclusion of the land in early March after receiving no negative feedback on the idea and Mussallem said he is grateful for the quick response.

“The City of Prince Rupert appreciates the provincial government’s support through the Ministry ... for the inclusion of District Lot 444 into the municipal boundaries,” he said.

Plans for further expansion of municpal boundaries remain on hold following concerns raised by neighbouring communities.

Forty Grade 11 and 12 students from Charles Hays Secondary returned home with a new mindset after a recent trip to Europe.

Charles Hays vice-principal Mikael Russell wanted to give students a broader perspective of all the world has to offer and knew an educational trip would be a good way to instill this.

“I think it’s important students know there’s a larger world out there and that there’s a lot to be gained from it,” he explained.

For CHSS’ Blake Foxall, Kyler Eckess, Savanna Naylor and Kylie Sheperd, the trip opened their eyes and helped sparked new ambitions.

“The trip showed us that the world isn’t this small town named Prince Rupert. It’s a big world with different cultures and different ways of thinking,” said Foxall, adding it was an “astounding experience”.

“It was definitely a trip of a lifetime. It made me want to go out and see the world and has made me set my goals high,” Eckess said.

The first international destination for the group was Italy, with students starting their trip off in a small village outside of Rome.

“It wasn’t a big tourist place, it was just a little town where we got to see how people lived,” explained Naylor.

While in Rome students viewed historical sites like the Vatican and the Colosseum, with both Eckess and Naylor saying pictures don’t do them justice.

The Charles Hays gang also travelled to Florence, as

well as Pisa where they saw the Leaning Tower of Pisa, before leaving Italy.

“You don’t realize how much it’s leaning until you’re actually there. I thought it was just a little bit, but it seriously seems like it’s going to fall over,” said Sheperd.

The group then travelled to Greece where they observed the ancient ruins, as well as the Acropolis in Athens.

“I appreciate how they’ve kept everything preserved

since it was built,” said Sheperd.“It’s proof of how long human creation can stand. It

was amazing to see,” added Naylor.For some it was their first international experience

and Russell hopes more students will be able to go on similar expeditions in the future.

“I would like to see every Grade 11 and 12 student get the opportunity to do some kind of overseas trip. Hopefully this is the foundation for future trips,” he said.

Students take in the architecture of the Colosseum in Rome during their tour of Europe.

The Prince Rupert School District (SD52) knows trades training is vital to fill industry jobs anticipated in northern B.C., and is doing what it can to link its students to them.

With assistance, SD52 provides opportunities for students to start trades training in the community, some of which were showcased at an open house at CHSS on Thursday.

“We’re all very aware of the need to provide our students with options to both discover and begin their training in trades fields while they’re still in school. Partnerships with industry and Northwest Community College go a long way in providing those options,” said Sandra Jones, superintendent of the school district.

The event marked the official opening of CHSS’ new automotive shop, with Rupertites being able to check it out, along with the school’s metal and wood shops.

Charles Hays’ metal shop housed the Coastal Pathways Partnership Millwright Foundations Program last semester, which included students from NWCC and the ACE-IT program. Coastal Pathways industry partners donated a substantial amount of equipment for the course,

which CHSS teacher David Archibald said has benefitted all metal students.

“It’s been nice having the extra equipment around for the kids, and the shop layout is much more connected to having larger class sizes,” he said, adding it has expanded on the projects students can undertake.

“Having the millwright program has given kids the idea that there’s further steps to take after completing the metal shop program,” Archibald added.

Former CHSS student Tyler Winther recently completed the first

level of academic millwright training, and said the shop’s equipment helped to reinforce what students were learning in their bookwork.

Students must secure apprenticeship placements to move on to the second level of academic millwright training, which have been difficult to secure.

NWCC brought its mobile trades training facility to the event, a 53-foot-long trailer that can accommodate 12-students with virtual exploratory and apprenticeship Heavy Equipment Operator training opportunities.


Tyler Winther, a recent graduate of the Millwright Foundation Program, experimented with Charles Hays Secondary metal shop equipment with shop instructor David Archibald providing guidance.

Comment period for LNG pipeline now underway


If you have concerns or comments about the pipeline that would serve the proposed Pacific NorthWest LNG terminal on Lelu Island, now is the time to make them known.

TransCanada Pipeline kicked off the environmental assessment for its Prince Rupert Gas Transmission (PRGT) Project on May 16, which includes a a 45-day public comment period that runs from May 26 to July 9. Part of that public comment period will be an open house from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Port Edward Community Centre on June 17.

The project includes a 900-kilometre pipeline from the Hudson’s Hope area to Lelu Island, including underwater pipeline from the Nass Valley to Port Edward. TransCanada’s president of development Alex Pourbaix said it’s important people weigh in on a project he says is important to the province’s future.

“By transporting natural gas to export markets, PRGT will support thousands of jobs in the natural gas sector and other industries and provide significant tax revenue for government, which helps to pay for the important social services British Columbians and other Canadians rely upon,” he said.

Business

BY ROD LINK TERRACE / Black Press

Rick Brouwer is more convinced than ever the region could use a place to nurture regional creativity in the hope that what evolves could turn into a business.

The executive director of the Skeena-Nass Centre for Innovation in Resource Economics (SNCIRE) made the comment following its May 9 hosting of a competition challenging area residents to come up with products or creative ideas.

“What we saw were some very good ideas and innovation. You just get the feeling more could be accomplished if we had some way, an incubator, to take these forward,” he said of 12 entries from around the region.

The top placing entry, from Giulianna Hauknes of Prince Rupert and Christine Moody of Skidegate, won the $2,500 Terrace Community Forest Prize for Project Hlaana, natural spring water infused with traditional herbs, medicines and berries – all found on Haida Gwaii.

The prize was based on most innovative use of a bioproduct.

The Northwest Innovation Challenge, put on by SNCIRE through the sponsorship of various contributors, could be the last official act of the

centre. It will be closing after failing to secure long-term financial backing.

“When you hear about these large LNG projects and you think of their legacy, what better legacy could there be than a place for innovation, a place where you could take ideas and build them out?” said Brouwer.

There were 12 finalists from around the region and $8,500 provided in prize money. Nearly 100 people attended the event.

Work Channel hydro planned


Sequoia Energy is hoping for approval to build a 68 kilometre power line to connect the Prince Rupert substation to seven proposed hydropower projects around Quotton Inlet off Work Channel.

The company’s investigation plan outlines plans for a line that would run along the shores of the inlet and Work Channel capable of carrying 69 kilovolts of power to Prince Rupert in order to provide a potential 53.6 megawatts of power to the substation. Seqouia said it is planning to be as minimally invasive as possible during the investigation phase, with studies expected to continue until the end of 2015.

“For investigative purposes, the proposed transmission line route will be accessed via boat landing, helicopter and by foot dependant on the area within the route requiring study. It is anticipated that a minimum of one helipad will need to be constructed to allow access to sections of the proposed transmission line that cannot be practically accessed by boat or by foot from existing access locations,” reads the report.

The seven projects include examining potential at Toon River, McShane Creek, Quottone Inlet tributary, Marion Creek and Lachmach River.

Once at the end of Work Channel Road, the power line would cut through the forest before reaching Highway 16 at the end of Diana Lake.

North Coast people at the ... Heart of our City

BY KEVIN CAMPBELLPRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

George Sampson’s playing career may be over, but the All Native Basketball Tournament’s rules and regulations committee member’s fingerprints are all over the careers of the athletes still playing today.

The Friendship House director is continuous and tireless in his leadership and guidance of the Aboriginal youth of the community, ranging in ages from Grade 7 to college level. It starts with basketball, but the lessons and teachings the House imparts on the kids can be applied to all aspects of life.

“There’s a saying, it takes a village to raise a child. I really like that,” George said.

It’s a saying that defines what George’s work consists of. The Lax Kw’alaams native works at providing athletes, parents, coaches and organizers with the resources needed for the kids to succeed in whatever endeavours they choose to embark on. But he also needs the help of the respective villages to be able to provide them with the best support systems they can get.

“Our No. 1 priority is education. We stress education but it doesn’t have to be in the school system, you could be going to an alternative school, you could be going to college, you could be going to [some sort of] training program. We promote role models so our players can be proper role models in the community,” he said.

Through his work at the Friendship House and on the rules and regulations committee with the All Native tournament, George has supported countless youth in narrowing down their career options to hone in on their abilities and talents, on or off the court. Sampson pairs athletes with coaches and parents to fundraising opportunities so that when the time comes around for all the villages to come together in Prince Rupert, they’re prepared to show off the best sides of each First Nation group’s respective culture for the whole city to see.

“It’s all about the culture that’s tied in [to the tournament]. It’s the food, the opening ceremonies, the regalia, the pride,” said the ex-Charles Hays Rainmaker and Prince Rupert Beaver.

In addition to finding opportunities for children to succeed in Prince Rupert, George moderates the application process for rosters and settles any conflicts teams may have with eligibility concerns.

“The rules and regulations committee makes sure that when there’s a protest, there are fact finders, because there are no ringers so our job is to make sure the tournament is fair ... Right before the tournament we make ourselves available to answer questions so that way we can now post rosters online at least two to three weeks ahead of time, so every team now scrutinizes the roster [looking for ways to get ahead],” he said.

“When you’re there you’re going to have a very competitive team, you’re going to look for every advantage.”

George works with legendary Charles Hays senior men’s coach Mel Bishop and other bench bosses to provide the different teams with the basketball fundamentals, but the real ability to play comes from within, says the board member.

“Coaching is important, you can teach all the fundamentals in the world, but it’s the boy who doesn’t miss practice, it’s the boy who stays after practice, it’s the boy who does the running without being told, it’s the boy who chooses a lifestyle of right over wrong knowing full well he loves the game and that he loves it so much he sacrifices parts of him to make sure he’s on the right path,” he said.

George has been on the committee for the past five years after the board approached him to be a member due to his work running the Junior All Native tournaments. He uses Skidegate Saints all-star Nate Vogstad as an example of a player whose passion drove him to success as opposed to talent or fundamentals, though each plays a part.

“It’s the coaches, his managers, his elders, whoever’s working with him, and getting that fire inside him to come out, [it’s that] passion, his pride of Haida Gwaii,

his pride of Skidegate, his pride of who he is and where he’s from that sparks something inside him.”

Some of George’s fondest memories of his own playing days were on the intermediate teams, where squads only have a three-year window to win a championship before they move onto the senior ranks. Those ages (19-21) are when players typically put on significant muscle mass and finally emerge from the lanky bodies they’ve lumbered around during their teenage years.

“Some of them would come back and [after not seeing them for quite some time] we’d say ‘whoa are we glad to see you’, because some of these kids are big,” said George, who played small forward.

“It’s funny, now a small forward’s probably six-foot-one, six-foot-two. In my day, five-foot-ten was pretty big.”

George has also learned some lessons of his own over the years.

“It’s amazing when you work with younger people, they actually listen when they’re not looking at you. It’s like when [a kid’s] sitting down and his dad’s telling him something and he’s not looking up, he’s actually listening,” he said.

Simplicity and brevity exemplify George Sampson’s philosophy in becoming an excellent role model.

“Respect, honour, dignity, there’s all these words for it in the English language. In ours, it’s called ‘action’. You just do it, it’s a reflection of who you are in the real world,” he said.

“I do a lot of promotion to try and be the best you can be in whatever you choose.”

- Catherine Pennington, Senior Manager, Community Benefi ts & Sustainability

“I look at Northern Gateway and see a project that will build families and communities for generations.

That’s what I’m most proud of.”

We at Northern Gateway are committed to ensuring that jobs and business opportunities will be available to people living near the Project’s right-of-way.

DEDICATED TO MEANINGFUL ABORIGINAL INCLUSION Catherine connects willing job seekers with existing and emerging opportunities. She is focused on helping the Project meet its goal of having Aboriginal people comprise 15 per cent of the construction workforce. “Many Northern communities are experiencing or have experienced desperate cycles of poverty, in part due to a lack of the necessary skills for the existing employment opportunities. I believe people in Northern and North Western B.C. have yet to fully realize their enormous potential. By actively investing in better education and skills training, opportunities for advancement and connections to good, steady jobs, we know we can make a real diff erence.”

IT ALL ADDS UP TO COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT In Catherine’s experience, removing barriers to employment has a huge impact – not just on individual job seekers, but on their communities as well. When you connect someone to a job, you also build individual and social pride, enhanced connections, dignity and ultimately, stronger sustainable communities. “As a trained social worker with experience in community development, I have found it very rewarding to work in Industry. You have the opportunity to create really meaningful outcomes that are mutually benefi cial. Our model of shared responsibility for working with communities is unique and is being emulated by other companies.”

SUCCESS ACROSS THE NORTH We have held discussions with numerous training providers, colleges, universities and employment service providers in Northern B.C. to identify programming needs to help Aboriginal and local people take advantage of the surge in energy projects in the region. We have also worked to tailor programming to the needs of individual communities. “Fundamentally, there’s nothing more powerful than helping someone make that connection to employment, because it leads to a larger, more positive and healthier social outcome.” As a company and a neighbour, we want to see Northern residents get the best opportunities because that benefi ts us all. It’s how we will build more than a safer, better pipeline, we will help build a better B.C.

Catherine Pennington spearheads our community benefi ts and sustainability initiatives which include education and skills development.

For over 10 years, she has lived and worked in Northern B.C. with First Nation and Métis

communities, creating partnerships and programs that focus on improving employment and social

outcomes for the long term.

Skeena Taxi drew first blood but Safeway claimed victory in Prince Rupert Youth Soccer Under-19 action on Thursday.

Skeena Taxi dominated the opening minutes and much of the first half with Tyler Matalone and Katerina Samaras providing the bulk of the offence for the black-clad team, but the half ended 1-1. Matalone opened the scoring off a nice feed from fellow Skeena Taxi teammate and keeper Sukhraj Sekhon and David Smith replied for Safeway.

In the second half, after Matalone replaced Sekhon in net for Skeena Taxi, Safeway found their legs. The team, led by coach Mike Cavin, scored two more goals in the second, with the insurance tally coming late in the game to seal the contest for Safeway.

Safeway midfielder Norma Appollos did yeoman’s work along left-field and in centre, supporting her defence and making sure the ball was moved quickly to her attackers.

“We do have strong players but we

don’t have one dominant player like every other team,” said Appollos after the match.

“Last year it was different because we won the whole thing but we had a lot of star players, like we had Bryce [Meers] and Sukhraj and it was kind of uneven. It’s a lot different playing with this team because we’re really defensive whereas last year, we had both. We had defence and offence.”

Meers had a couple quality chances for Skeena Taxi, but Safeway goalkeeper Ciaran Dudley was exceptional throughout the game to limit Skeena Taxi to one goal.

Dudley also stopped a breakaway toward the end of the game when Safeway fumbled a free kick and Skeena Taxi broke out on the counter-attack only to have Dudley get a glove on the shot.

“I think our team is really good at passing. We have the passing now, we just have to finish it. When you have a star on your team, they’ll [more often than not] take the shot, whereas our team might pass first. So [it’s] all about getting that confidence to shoot,” said Appollos,

who noted her opposition’s tendencies and exploited their weaknesses, driving Skeena’s strikers to their bad sides so they couldn’t shoot with their good foot.

“I’m more defensive, I just feel like I

have to come back and help my team. I never play forward,” said the midfielder.

Safeway looks to continue winning against Ridley Terminals Thursday. Skeena Taxi plays NSK Contracting.

A stunning donation by the Prince Rupert Minor Hockey Association (PRMHA) has enabled the Jim Ciccone Civic Centre to acquire a new Zamboni, something the rink was in dire need of after Prince Rupert’s existing ice resurfacing machines broke down last season.

“The amount of appreciation this city owes minor hockey is phenomenal and everybody who’s a skater is going to be able to skate this year because of what they’ve done,” said Brent Meunier, City of Prince Rupert recreation consultant.

After its eight-year-old Olympia Ice Bear resurfacer broke down multiple times within the past few years, and its other 23-year-old Zamboni 520 on its last legs, the City approached PRMHA to inquire about assisting in the purchase of a new one after

spending more than $75,000 in repairs to fix the Ice Bear.

“We spent over half the cost of a new machine on repairs throughout those eight years and we decided in talking to staff that there was no point in spending any more money on that if we could avoid it,” said Meunier.

The PRMHA brought the proposal back to its annual general meeting and reportedly voted unanimously to purchase a new ice-resurfacing machine for the city at a cost of approximately $120,000. The machine would be owned by PRMHA in name and loaned to the city on a 25-year basis, or until the life of the machine deteriorates

completely, which Meunier expects to be around the same amount of time. The City would pay a $10 loan fee per year for legal purposes.

“To my knowledge, there is no other minor hockey organization in Canada, or the United States for that matter has ever bought a Zamboni for the municipality or has the capacity to,” said the consultant.

The PRMHA may use its funds from various grants and program registration costs to financially support the purchase, and will release a detailed document concerning the purchase later this week.

“We were ecstatic because I was concerned,” said Meunier.

“We were talking to other organizations and businesses about trying to pitch in for the Zamboni, so now we’re able to talk to those organizations about the possibility of a number of other things because our rec centre needs a whole lot of updates and repairs.”

To be in a better position to deal with similar upgrades and undertakings in the future, Meunier has helped draft a recreation commission to serve as an advisory voice to Council.

The commission will try to establish a reserve fund by investing approximately 10-20 per cent of annual facility revenues to help pay for upgrades.

“We need to be doing more fundraising. If we continue to increase [fees] to get more capital monies to work with, we start to turn our facilities into private clubs being subsidized by taxpayers. That’s not a direction that we want to go in,” he said.

Charles Hays track and fi eld coach Dighton Haynes laughs with a team member at a Prince Rupert meet.

Rioux, Schaeffer, Leblanc advance past zones


After a phenomenal season, Charles Hays track star Kevin Rioux is off to provincials, and two other Rupertites will compete at the B.C. Summer Games.

At the regional zones meet in Smithers last weekend, Rioux won the long jump and the 400m race while finishing second in high jump, 100m and 200m and third in discus and triple jump. Rioux hasn’t lost a long jump competition this year.

Cody Schaeffer triumphed in the junior 100m and 200m races and came in second in the 400m and long jump categories. For his efforts, he’ll be off to the BC Summer Games on July 17-20 in Nanaimo.

Joining him in his summer travels down south is Grade 8 star Isobel Leblanc who won high jump, placed second in 100m and long jump and finished third in 200m for her division. Emily Cavin and Cody Deschamps were named alternates for the B.C. Summer Games team from Rupert.

“[It’s] great to have so many personal bests with each of the team members at the meet,” said coach Dighton Haynes in an email.

“The individual success is due in part to the Parent Advisory Committee from both Charles Hays and Prince Rupert Middle School supporting the track and field program with the purchase of track shoes. Athletes like Kevin,

Cody and Isobel would never be able to compete at the level they have achieved without [them].”

Other great performances came from Jason Rioux who came in second in high jump, third in 200m and fourth 100m and 400m in the junior boys’ division.

Deschamps placed first in the 400m and 1500m races and second in 200m and 800m in the Grade 8 boys’ category while teammate Zack Dixon followed in Kevin’s footsteps for Rupert, winning high jump, long jump and triple jump and coming in second in javelin.

It was Haynes’ first season as coach of the Prince Rupert delegation after coming over from Terrace and coaching their squad for 15 years. He also mentioned he would have liked to have seen more athletes make it to zones, but camping, injuries and soccer prevented them from attending.

Provincials will take place from May 29 to 31 in Langley and Kevin will represent Rupert.

A provincial cycling initiative is coming to Prince Rupert from May 26 to June 1 with the intent of cutting down vehicle emissions.

Bike to Work Week has locations across British Columbia and manager of Pioneer Backpackers Inn, Juliane Mark has developed a Facebook page and website dedicated to getting people to sign on to the cause.

Prince Rupert is one of 41 communities including Terrace, Kitimat and Smithers taking part. Mark and fellow organizer and friend Kerem Har-Paz, want to see their totals grow.

The pair will be setting up an

information and sign-up booth at the Salmonberry Farmer’s Market on Saturday near the courthouse.

“Let’s say a workplace wanted to sign up [as a team], they would count the number of kilometres they biked,” said Kerem.

“Prince Rupert is quite a small place, basically. When the sun’s shining it’s a great place to be outdoors.”

Currently, no bike lanes exist on city streets, but Mark and organizers along with an RCMP representative will be explaining proper bicycle etiquette on the road at the market.

Bike to Work Week BC calculates the number of calories each individual and team burns once they register, and totals the tally from across the province.

Last year, the non-profit society motivated people across B.C. to burn 22 million calories during the week.

“It’s a way for people to say ‘one week, I’ll cycle to work’ and maybe they would love it and continue later,” said Kerem.

As of Sunday, Prince Rupert had two

teams and five riders. More than 20,000 riders took part across the province in 2013.

To register, riders can visit www.biketowork.ca/prince-rupert or visit the organization’s Facebook page at: Bike to Work Week Prince Rupert.

Prince Rupert joins Bike to Work Week initiative

Off-road mountain bike club searches for landBY KEVIN CAMPBELLPRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

Prince Rupert has a new club in town, and it wants a piece of it to operate.

The Rupert Off-road Cycling Club (ROCC), helmed by Randy Cunningham, is looking for a local tract of land to build a series of mountain bike trails for the club, and the rest of the city to enjoy.

“We want to start up a legal trail system that we can basically take ownership, tenure-ship or stewardship of and take care of it,” explained Cunningham last week.

There a few hurdles to leap before

they can accomplish their goal however. The application fees to find and acquire the land cost money and the club, while still in its infancy, is still organizing its resources to be able to pay the operating costs of running the application process. The ROCC apparently has a plot of land picked out already that they would like to see be transformed into an off-road trail.

“It’s behind the Rupert sign near the skate park ... we want the tree area, we’re just waiting to write a formal request to the recreation board and the volunteer recreation committee, bring our proposal to them, and then they’ll take a walk with us [to inspect the area],”

said Cunningham.The City has already offered the club

a piece of land, but it’s too flat for the club’s liking.

“There’s nothing there, it’s just a flat piece of concrete,” he said.

“We want trees, we’re mountain biking, we want to be in the bush.”

The ROCC has already held a few meetings at Cowpuccino’s and they’ll have a booth at the Salmonberry Farmers’ Market this Saturday explaining their club mandate and tuning bikes.

“We’ll get a table, set up our bike stand, do an introductory tuning and offer tuning at a highly discounted rate

[with] the proceeds going to the club and then if we have a big enough group of kids, we’ll put them through some road safety [training], like a ride-along and teach them some hand signals,” said Cunningham.

The club also wants to build a skills park on a wooded recreational property in town that has access to emergency vehicles and start a bike polo league. The league would operate out of an outdoor hockey rink and charge a fee to participants who want to take part in the drop-in event.

“Nothing’s free to become non-profit,” said Cunningham.

Sports


Grassy Bay finished second in the Kaien Island Slo-Pitch League last year but Billy Novak made sure they remained unbeaten through the first two weeks of the 2014 season.

The pitcher was dazzling both at the plate and on the mound as his team defeated Rupert Wood’N Steel 14-8 in five innings of play Thursday night.

Novak picked up three RBIs, including hitting an inside-the-park home run off the left-field fence to lead his squad to their third victory in three tries this year.

As he rounded each base, Novak looked over his shoulder to make sure the ball was deep enough for him to try for the inside-the-park homer.

“That’s the first one of my career,” Novak said of his roundtripper.

“I just thought I’d try [for the inside-the-park home run]. If I get out, I get out. I’m a big guy, it usually doesn’t happen. It’s the first of my career, probably my only one,” he chuckled.

Teammates teased the pitcher by affectionately calling him “Big Papi”, the nickname of Boston Red Sox designated hitter David Ortiz. Ortiz has never hit an inside-the-park home run, although he has tripled.

Novak’s unique home run came in the bottom of the fourth inning after he had just pitched a one-two-three inning, sitting down all three batters he faced.

After Grassy Bay overcame an early 1-0 deficit in the bottom of the first, scoring five runs to take a commanding 5-1 lead, Novak

and Grassy Bay were on cruise control until a hiccup in the top of the third cost them five runs, the maximum you can score in an inning according to KISL rules.

“There’s a few changes [to the team]. We picked up a couple guys, couple girls, but we usually keep the same group. It’s all fun, we’re not a serious team, but we play serious,” said the pitcher.

Novak doesn’t always pitch. The team rotates throwers, and is looking to encourage more women to take the mound, although it’s not always easy with bigger and bigger players coming out each game.

“It’s getting kind of scary now,” said Novak who got hit in the leg by a hard comebacker in the bottom of the fifth.

Other notable performers on Grassy Bay included Willie Billie, who hit a triple in the third inning, the only player other than Novak to reach past first base on a hit. Everyone else notched singles in the game.

“[I enjoy] the fans, the sun, friends. This is my second family out here,” said Novak.

Grassy Bay looks to stay undefeated when they next play the Leftovers Thursday. Rupert Wood’N Steel will play the Honey Badgers.



Sarah McChesney will attend Thompson Rivers University in Kamloops this September after graduating from the Prince Rupert Amateur Swim Club with 11 years of experience.

Making a splash for Thompson RiversMaking a splash for Thompson RiversBY KEVIN CAMPBELLPRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

Not much noise can be heard at 6 a.m. on a Prince Rupert weekday morning; maybe some songbirds or a few ripples of nearby waves.

But if you’re at the Earl Mah Aquatic Centre, you can hear the slicing of the chlorinated water and some barking coach’s advice.

“I train nine times a week,” said Prince Rupert Amateur Swim Club (PRASC) Rapids team captain Sarah McChesney.

“I’ve been swimming since I was in Grade 2, so probably 11 years.”

McChesney is sitting in the Aquatic Centre’s lobby, pulled from her underwater home to talk about the next phase in her swimming career as she departs the club and heads for Thompson Rivers University in Kamloops in September.

The 17-year-old has also probably forgotten what the colour silver looks like.

McChesney went seven-for-seven in her categories at PRASC’s latest regional meet. That included a gold aggregate in 15-and-over girls (most overall points in the division), and a first-place finish in 50m freestyle, as well as the 100, 200 and 800, and the 50, 100 and 200m backstroke.

“Up until Grade 11, there was a year-and-a-half where I didn’t lose a race in the region,” she said.

“So that was pretty cool.”

The captain and lone female in the club’s higher ages likes routines. Getting up at 5 a.m. is alright with her as long as she does it consistently, and the same mantra probably applies to winning. That’s why this September will be a shock to the Rupertite’s system, and it won’t just be Kamloops’ chilling temperatures.

“I don’t really do very well with coping [with change]. I like the same [things]. I’ve never trained in a 50m pool. That’s going to be very different. We train 25m here [at the Aquatic Centre],” said McChesney.

It’s also the first year the Thompson Rivers WolfPack will have a varsity swim team in quite awhile. Brad Dalke will head the program, the coach of the Kamloops Classic Swim team, and he’s already got an ace in the hole when McChesney decided to attend the school after TRU hosted the B.C. “AAA” provincial swim championships.

“I guess you can say I’m the guinea pig [for the program],” she said.

McChesney would love to get involved with teaching classes more formally but there are only so many hours in the day.

“If I did teach the kids I’d have to miss out on practice or miss a dryland session so it gets really challenging.”

There was a time where she couldn’t even do that. The star swimmer hurt her Achilles tendon playing basketball, and was expecting her most recent meet in Kitimat to go south. But a few weeks before regionals, she got some good news after swimming the 800m.

“Getting back, I swam the Friday night and the timing system wasn’t working right, so I didn’t know what my time was. The timers said ‘five seconds’ and I said ‘what, did I add five seconds?’, because I would have been happy with that and (Rapids head coach) Chris [Street] was like, ‘no, you took off five seconds’.”

The future kindergarten teacher has a special dynamic with her coach.

“I’ve really enjoyed having Chris as my coach, I can’t thank him enough,” she said.

“He’s the person who gets up with me every morning and gives me my [training] set. I’d just like to thank a lot of people,

with swimming you meet a lot of people and you meet a lot of parents who swim and their kids swim and you become friends and to leave all that and to start somewhere else is going to be really difficult.”

Thompson Rivers’ newest frosh porpoise knows others attending the school who play basketball and volleyball, but not any who will join her at the pool. She’ll also live in a residence that’s two minutes away from the facility.

“I don’t know any other swimmers there which is good because I want to start new and I want to start fresh,” she said.

After spending three weeks in Prince Rupert, a group of training teachers has nothing but good things to say about the North Coast and the people who embraced them.

Evan Huang, Brian Jackson, Jessica Tennant and Zach Robertson are part of the University of British Columbia’s Bachelor of Education program and did their community field experience within the Prince Rupert School District (SD52) in part of April and May.

All four thoroughly enjoyed their stay, calling students, staff and the community as a whole remarkably friendly and welcoming.

“Whether I was walking down the street, in a store or in the hallways, there was somebody saying ‘hi’,” said Tennant.

“It’s like I sneezed and it was over. I’ve had such a good time in Prince Rupert,” said Jackson.

During their field experience, the four pursued their choice of assignments within the district that included assisting with and teaching classes, one-on-one work with students and leading after-school activities. Most assignments took place at Prince Rupert Middle School, Charles Hays Secondary and Pacific Coast School.

A comment repeated by all four individuals was how much they enjoyed the students.

“My favourite part was interacting

with students and having fun with them,” Robertson said.

“They’re so open, welcoming and down to earth,” Tennant said.

Being part of a smaller school district and community has its advantages, said Tennant.

“In a small community, whether it’s in a district or the community itself, there’s more opportunities to be involved and not just be an observer. In a big city you’re just kind of a number sometimes,” she said.

Seeing students outside of school isn’t something Haung is used to, but it was something he appreciated.

“This kind of stuff doesn’t really happen in Vancouver. It helps to build connections,” he said.

Forming relationships with

students is something the four strive to do in their careers, with Jackson believing an alternative education setting is the easiest way to do that. Jackson spent most of his time at Pacific Coast and had nothing but good things to say about the school.

“Pacific Coast is a great embodiment of my philosophy of education. There’s a bit of a stigma attached to it that teachers have been telling me about, and students are sensing it too. I think it’s a real shame because the kids there are fantastic students and people,” he said.

The four expressed their gratitude for the hospitality homestay families and district staff gave them, saying it was hard to say goodbye to everyone.

Teachers learn in RupertTeachers learn in RupertFrom social media to dollarsBY MARTINA PERRY PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

Prince Rupert’s Jennifer Reutens-Hernandez needs all the likes, shares, retweets and hashtags she can get before midnight on May 25.

The 19-year-old born-and-raised Rupertite is one of 15 finalists for S-Trip’s Amazing Travel Scholarship and needs the support of the social media community to win. The $2,500 scholarship would help cover the costs of tuition for Reutens-Hernandez, who is a University of Northern British Columbia (UNBC) scholar majoring in biochemistry and molecular biology.

Reutens-Hernandez plans to become a physician or physiotherapist, and hopes to work around the world in places that need medical care the most. In her first round application, Reutens-Hernandez explained how travelling would help her step out of her comfort zone, something required in order to accomplish her dream.

The 10 finalists were given a kit with materials they must use to create social media content about travelling and its importance to education.

“We are getting judged on how creative our content is and how well we share it ... every like, share, comment, retweet, favourite, repin and hashtag helps me toward winning the finalist round,” said Reutens-Hernandez.

To assist the Rupertite in her efforts, like the “Jennifer Reutens-Hernandez for the Amazing Travel Scholarship” page on Facebook, share her blog page on www.amazingtravelscholarship.com, follow @jenniferrh_ on Twitter and Instagram and Jennifer Reutens-Hernandez on Pinterest.

The finalist will also host a hot dog sale at Safeway from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on May 24, with proceeds going to the Kaien Anti Poverty Society.

Trap-neuter-return fundedBY MARTINA PERRY HAIDA GWAII / The Northern View

Recent funding will help Haida Gwaii’s trap-neuter-return (TNR) project continue in an effort to stop the free-roaming cat population from growing.

The BC SPCA recently announced funding from PetSmart Charities of Canada has allowed for a $6,050 donation to the ongoing TNR project taking place on Haida Gwaii to target the homeless cat population.

Addressing what it says is a “cat population crisis” in B.C. is a major focus for the BC SPCA.

“Abandoned and free-roaming cats are forced to fend for themselves outdoors, suffering from starvation, illness, injury, freezing temperatures in the winter and predator attacks,” said Amy Morris, policy and outreach officer for BC SPCA.

The trap-neuter-return program allows cats to maintain their colony space, which prevents new cats from moving in. According to Morris, outdoor

cats who are neutered are healthier and contribute to the colony diminishing.

The BC SPCA states 75 per cent of kittens born outdoors die before they reach six months while the cats that do survive only live approximately two years before dying. Because they are not neutered, the free-roaming cats multiply by producing litters.

Morris stresses the importance of spaying or neutering pets before they reach six months of age and to never abandon kittens and cats.

More than $6,000 committed

While businesses in Prince Rupert are beginning to feel the pinch of reduced ferry service, those on Haida Gwaii are seeing a variety of problems just weeks after one sailing per week was cut.

Queen Charlotte Mayor Carol Kulesha said the effects are being felt by every sector of the island, from businesses to residents and from young to old.

“It’s a huge issue for us ... we are not doing well,” she said. One particular concern, she said, is the extra strain the

combination of cuts and full ferries are having on people requiring medical treatment.

“The medical piece is very difficult because when they cut the sailing, they cut the ability for someone to go over, get two days of treatment and come back,” she said.

“People used to leave on Monday, consult with their doctor on Tuesday, get tests or follow up on Wednesday and return on Thursday. Now people leave Tuesday and return Thursday, which means they only have one day so they have to go back again. The alternative for multiple days of care is they have to pay for accommodations for a week.”

But it’s not just patients being affected. Much like the trailers needed to carry goods to Haida Gwaii, there is no certainty when it comes to round-trip reservations.

“I am supposed to come over on the weekend of May 22, but while I can get over with a vehicle there is no reservation available on the way back so I won’t be taking my car,” she said.

“This is a common story. You can’t get back on the ferry.”With no confirmation of a spot on the ferry, Kulesha said

businesses that rely on off-island visitors are having a tough time early in the tourist season.

“It’s a huge impact for tourism because even though you can get over, there is no guarantee you can get back,” she said.

“The accommodation sector is really being impacted because people won’t come here if they can’t be assured they can go back.”

The Misty Isles Economic Development Society is in the midst of gathering hard data on just how severe the effects of the service cuts are, but Kulesha said BC Ferries needs to see what is happening on Haida Gwaii and be open to making change.

“I’m sure these are unintended consequences, but that is the problem. There are too many unintended consequences with no solutions being sought,” she said.

“There should be flexibility and they should be able to change the schedule.”

There were no bridges too far at the popsicle stick bridge competition held at Mount Elizabeth Middle Secondary School on May 3.

There were many teams from many schools, but Prince Rupert-based teams proved their worth. The Grade 4 and 5 category went to Rupert’s Pineridge Elementary. Two teams each withstood a 132 lbs pressure to their bridges, one to Team Stickin’ It, with Jessica and Grant Slocombe, and Team Pressure Testers II, with Brandon Mah.

Category two, grades six and seven, went to Prince Rupert Middle School. Team Iron Workers, including Brendan Eshorn, won overall in the whole event as well with a bridge withstanding 350 lbs of force.

The most innovative award went to Prince Rupert Middle School’s Dream Island Crossing team, including Andy Chugh. Andy’s class will receive $200

for the distinction.Each category winner’s school

received $450, while the overall winner gets $500.

Safety Tip:If you’re taking a road trip this May long weekend, be realistic about travel times as highways will be busier. Plan rest stops every 1.5 to 2 hours to avoid becoming fatigued while driving and check drive.ca for road and

weather conditions before setting out.

Hyundai raises the bar with world class GenesisVERNON – There is little chance of falling asleep at the wheel of the 2015 Hyundai Genesis, even on one of those long summer driving vacations.The twisty route around the Okanagan lake coun-try, chosen to show off the agility of this new luxury sedan from the Korean manufacturer, guaranteed all behind the wheel kept their eyes glued to the road ahead.But should such external stimulus not be available for the long distance driver, there is a nifty little gadget below the glove box. An industry-first sensor control system detects when CO2 levels are too high and boosts the cabin with fresh air. Research by Hyundai engineers determined that drowsiness increases when CO2 concentrations inside the cabin exceed 2,000 parts per million. Of course, cracking a window works the same way but many do not detect the onset of a sleepiness until it’s too late, while others are reluctant to let in that cold mountain air during a winter jaunt. Count me in that group.Gadgets aside, there is much to stimu-late the senses in the all-new Genesis. Its eye-catching design, with giant front grille, would not look out of place parked next to a BMW, Audi or Merc, which is precisely the intent. It’s bench-marked against such German Masters at a price segment below what one would

expect to pay for the Eu-ropean leaders. Will they hold their price in resale? – Likely not during this generation, but if the am-bitious Koreans continue to prove reliability and quality then they will.Meanwhile, an owner is going to enjoy years of driving a performance oriented in comfort and style. The fit and finish inside rivals those with which it chooses to compete for the dollars in the wallets of the well-heeled. The subtle use of leather and micro suede is classy; with Napa leather and real wood trim available as an option. Double

stitched leather seats always look good but it’s what’s inside that counts on a lengthy trip! The foam beneath in this case offers both support and comfort in the right places. Both front seats offer 12-way power adjustment and there’s a power-adjustable thigh extension with side bolsters that’s available for the long-legged.A new power trunk lid goes a step further than the new trend to enable opening by swinging your leg under the rear to pop the trunk. Tired of stand-ing on one leg with two arms full of groceries? When your pocketed key nears the trunk, it automatically opens after three-seconds. A High-Beam Assist (HBA) function

switches to low beams when an oncom-ing vehicle is detected. Other options include a panoramic sunroof, a heated steering wheel, ventilated front seats, tri-zone automatic climate control, and rear door window blinds. Driver-assist safety technologies are also available in abundance for those who like the car to do some thinking for them.The new Genesis is also a statement of intent: it heralds what will be the look of the seven new less-premium Hyundai products expects to grace our show-rooms before 2016.When it comes to driving, it’s really a tale of two cars. The top-of-the-line model offers a big V8 5-litre power plant, with 420 horses at its disposal. Ironically, it’s best enjoyed jogged along at low speed on the highway, where it has the feel of an old-fash-ioned big family sedan. (It’s not a lot of fun on the twisting lakeside roads of the Okanagan.)Cars destined for the Canadian market will come with an all-new HTRAC

active wheel drive (AWD) system. Says Hyundai: “Performance of the vehicle’s all-new platform was validated in some of the world’s most demanding driving environments, including Germany’s famed Nürburgring Nordschleife and Korea’s Yeongam Formula 1 racing circuit.” The large variety of proving grounds offered by the northern Okanagan was much more appealing to me. And especially so in the car equipped with the 311 horsepower, 3.8-litre GDI V6 engine. Flipping between the Normal, Eco and Sport modes and tapping the gear-changing paddles on the steering wheel made for an enjoyable drive. Little lean in the corners and sprightly up hill. Both engines are coupled to an 8-speed automatic transmission with a SHIF-TRONIC manual mode. The base price is $43,000, $48,000 gets you the Luxury version, and $53,000 loads up the tech features. If you want the V8, get ready to spend $62,000.

It’s big and it’s heavy but it sure is good on fuel

Luxury and hi-tech sys-tems abound in the 4x4s that show up in the local media test fleets.When I stepped out of one of the more loaded examples the other day I got to thinking about yesteryear.Some might refer to them as the good old days – judge for yourself. I remember – not that long ago – four wheel-ing in a truck when the standard transmission shifter was so loose you didn’t know you were in gear or neutral. Anti-lock brakes were when you lost your master cylinder to a stick, while (independently minded) power steering kicked in when you hit the corner of a rock so hard it ripped the steering wheel out of your hand and, if you weren’t carful, your thumb as well. Traction control came in the shape of new tires. Automat-ic four-wheel-drive was achieved by asking your passen-ger to step out and lock the front hubs. The parking brake was a log shoved under the rear tire. Soft suspension meant your shocks were blown. Off-road suspension meant you spent more time hitting the roof with your head and back than you actually spent on the seat, which if you were lucky had some remaining padding still in it. Your seat belts would tighten up on every bump and if you didn’t stop you would be suffocated. You would be lucky if your radio would bring in a few channels on the AM band only! And the CB radio might just reach the driver in front of you. Wheel articulation really indicated your leaf spring was broken in half. Air conditioning was driving with your windows down and

trying to breath in between dust clouds. GPS was your buddy screaming out, “I think it’s this road”. Most people used to sleep in the back of their trucks. However, I remember one time after a long day of four-wheeling pulling into an open area by a river where I found a nice sandy mound. With the aid of my flash light I quickly spread the sand out with my arms making a flat area in which to put my tent. It was about 5:30 am when I first noticed the red ants crawling all around my sleeping bag. I was tired so killing the one at a time was not a big deal until I saw many climbing the side of the tent. I quickly climbed out of my tent to discover the soft sandy mound I found was actually a giant anthill.

The vehicles of today have the capabilities of descend-ing steep hills without even putting your foot on the brake and you could disconnect your sway bar end links to allow for more articulation. Ability to stop on a hill without rolling back is nice. Comfortable seats are really an improvement, especially on long trips. Although we can’t relive the past, it’s important to remember technology is there to help us. There is no replacement for common sense, so don’t let your truck drive you. Drive it and be safe.If you have any fun and not-so-fun truck tales to share, please drop me a line.

Speed it up

Reader Telina Muyres wishes drivers would accelerate to the speed of highway traffic when merging.

The all-new, third generation 2014 Toyota Highlander Hybrid Limited AWD tips the scale at 2,200 kg (4,850 lbs.)It’s not a svelte vehicle.Inside, this Highlander can carry up to seven passengers.It’s not a cramped vehicle.And behind the third row of seats, there’s a cargo capacity of 385L.It’s an accommodat-ing vehicle.So when I knew that I’d be logging more than 1,000 kilometres in a week, perhaps you’d think I’m a little crazy to want to take this (relative-ly) heavy and large SUV along for the ride. Normally, I would too. But there’s a word in its name that made me want to take this beauty of a beast for the long haul: Hybrid.As I entered the Flaxen (aka beige) adorned cabin, I reached for the “Eco Mode” button underneath the redesigned centre stack. I gave that a push.The Eco Mode is a feature that lessens the throttle response in an effort to help save fuel. You can still do all your normal daily driving duties, it just helps you keep money where it should be: in your wallet. And it keeps the fuel where it should be: in the tank.Granted, in Eco Mode, it doesn’t give you the peppy acceleration you might like. Then again, if prompt acceleration is what you’re after, skip the Eco Mode and that’s exactly what you’ll get.

Whether I was driving in the city or on the highway, the Highlander has a smoothness to it that makes me love being behind the wheel. It cruises effort-lessly atop the pavement and makes the driver and passengers feel at ease. Especially when you know you’re going the distance.I even had one passenger say to me, “If we were in here any longer, I could’ve fallen asleep! It’s so comfortable.”Good thing they weren’t driving.The suspension is composed of front Macpherson struts and a rear double wishbone type, trailing arms setup. Toyota gets an A+ for ride comfort and it’s arguably one of the best in its class.Aiding in establishing a serene setting is a host of creature comforts like heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, second row captain’s chairs, easy access to the third row, keyless entry, navigation, an 8-inch touchscreen and much more.We’ve already established its size, and while it fits up to seven, it doesn’t feel that big to drive. Sure, you need to make sure you watch its width but ma-noeuvring it around in parking lots isn’t a chore at all. Thanks to its rack and pinion-type, electric power steering, you can move around graciously.Though this is not the first hybrid SUV that I’ve tested, I am always excited to see how well these machines perform in regards to fuel economy.After all, there’s a 3.5L, V6 engine under the hood, which is then matched with an electric motor, a Sealed Nickel-Metal Hydride battery and an Elec-tronically Controlled Continuously Variable Trans-mission (ECVT). The result is a net 280 horsepower. There’s also a 1,587 kg (3,500 lbs.) towing capacity.Looking at the estimated fuel results, it’s rated at 6.8L/100km in the city and 7.2L/100km on the highway. Keep in mind the aforementioned stats about its size and weight and those numbers are really impressive.

My real world numbers? A combined average of 8.9L/100km. Not bad. Not bad at all. Most of my driving was done on the highway, so the hybrid system doesn’t have a chance to run off electricity alone at those speeds. Oh, and it’s all-wheel drive. Sun or snow, this SUV is ready for it all.With fuel prices hovering around the $1.50/litre mark, the more kilometres I can get out of a tank, the better. And the Highlander Hybrid made me a

very happy gal.The conclusion: The 2014 Toyota Highlander Hybrid Limited AWD is competent, potent and a fabulous sport utility vehicle even in Eco Mode where the fun is a little bit restricted.The MSRP for the 2014 Toyota Highlander Hybrid Limited AWD is $52,695.

Canadians love smaller vehicles: the best sell-ing passenger vehicles are compact cars and compact SUVs. As much as we like to keep things sensible, there is always a place for larger vehicles. Full-size sedans are not big sellers, but some buyers prefer them for long distance cruising and the road-hugging stance that a sedan provides. There are some very good choices out there and the latest is this all-new Chevrolet Impala. The previous Impala was a favourite for company sales fleets or rental car companies, with a minority of buyers choosing them for personal transportation. LooksThis is a very handsome car. I can clearly remember seeing for the first time over a year ago at the New York Auto Show and it was the standout of that event. This new design is striking on several levels. The front design has the signature Chevrolet split grille that was so warmly received on this car that they borrowed it and graphed it into the smaller Malibu. The side has sweeping front windshield and rear window with a high rear deck that provides a sleek silhouette. Prices

start at just over $28,000 and the 2LT is fitted with the V6 engine and starts at almost $33,000. InsideIt looks and works well, showcasing what GM is doing right. The mixture of materials, shapes and colours re-ally makes this cabin pop. The seats can be covered in cloth on the base car and faux suede seats or leather on the top models. The dash is covered in soft touch materials; I especially like the textured aluminum look around the window buttons and cup holders. The MyLink infotainment system is easy to use, the graphics look good and the screen pops up for access to the hidden storage area with a USB jack. Standard features include tilt and telescopic steering wheel, Bluetooth connectivity, USB, 8-way power driver’s seat and more. But the back seat might be the best part of this car. The legroom has limo like dimensions and the space side-to-side and headroom is ample. The trunk is also huge with a fold down rear seat, providing more space than many small SUVs. DriveThe Impala is now offered with a 4-cylinder or V6. The base engine is a 2.5L with direct injection unit and 195hp. My test Impala didn’t have this engine, but I have used this new engine in the Malibu and I was very impressed with it then, one of the best new engines I have used. The V6 engine is a 3.6L direct injection unit with a potent 305hp. Both are matched to a 6-speed automatic that can be shifted manually but the shifter is on top of the knob, not the best place. The big car platform and independent suspension makes for a sure-footed ride with almost luxury car feel. The road feel

is there, but never intrusive. This big sedan can actually handle rather well. Not the choice for a backcountry road excursions but stable and secure feeling.VerdictConsumer Reports recently rated this one of the best cars they had ever tested, right behind the Tesla Model S and BMW 135i. This new Impala does everything a big car buyer is looking for: It cruises with ease, has more than enough room for five full size adults and the interior is quiet and refined. I would suggest that

buyers of more expensive Luxury brands like Buick or Lexus give this car a shot. It has all the same comfort, but with a lower price point. One main criticism of this new car is the lack of an all wheel drive system. The Buick LaCrosse does offer it as does the Cadillac, the major difference between these products. Mid-size sedan buyers should also have a look at the Impala offers for just slightly more money. Hopefully this new Impala will not be relegated to fleet sales and rental lots.

The Chevrolet Impala is a handsome beast

You will want to check out the 2014 Chevrolet Impala if shopping for a new car. ZACK SPENCER

driveway

The all-new 2011 model year edition of Regal was built in Germany, based on a rigid Euro-car chassis, could be ordered with a turbocharged engine and had a driv-er-selectable suspension system. It would also be the first Buick to offer a manual transmission since the 1980s. Not since the days of Grand National, a big engine rocket last produced in 1987 (and still cherished by Buick enthusiasts) had we seen a hardcore sports version of the Buick Regal. Yet, this Regal is a very different beast. While it may not possess the awesome straight-line power of its ancestor, it’s a hoot to drive for different and probably better reasons.It was based on the German designed Opel Insignia, which was the 2009 European Car of the Year. The 2011 Regal was made in Germany, but then (2012 and on) all production was switched to Oshawa, Ontario.The overall design profile of this Regal is coupe-like, even though it has four doors. Up front, there’s a modern version of Buick’s traditional “waterfall”

grille and an extra-large version Buick’s tri-shield emblem. At the rear, the sloping roofline connects to a short deck with distinctive and large wrap-around taillights. The turbo engine versions of Regal should definitely be on the checklist of buyers looking at mid-sized sporty front-drive premium sedans such as the Volvo S60 or Acura TSX. Regal has a longer wheelbase (a more comfortable ride) and comes with a larger trunk. The base CXL trim comes with a 2.4L direct-injected engine rated at 182 horsepower (136 kW) mated with a six-speed automatic transmission. It’s a drive combination that provides decent power and very good highway fuel economy, rated at 6.5L/100 km.The CXL Turbo trim, on the other hand, comes with a 2.0L turbocharged direct-injection engine that’s rated at 220 horsepower (164 kW). The auto transmission is a crisper-shifting six speed unit and its 6.9L/100 km highway fuel economy is still good, considering the extra power.Buick expanded the Regal line to four for the 2012 model year, with the addition of eAssist and GS editions. The eAssist edition has a mild-hybrid pow-ertrain that uses an electric motor/lithium-ion battery pack combo to boost power to road wheels when needed, and conserves fuel. It’s the most economical edition of Regal with a frugal city/highway fuel econ-omy rating of 8.3/5.4 L/100km respectively. The GS edition is a more potent version of Turbo that rides lower and comes with Brembo front disc brakes and 19-inch or 20-inch (optional) wheels. Under hood its turbocharged engine can produce

255-horsepower and 295 ft-lb of torque. Acceleration to 100 km/hour is under 7-seconds and its highway fuel economy is 7.4 L/100 km.The base (CXL/2.4-litre engine) edition was dropped for the 2013 model year and trim levels offered were eAssist, Turbo, Turbo Sport, and GS. On the safety front, standard equipment includes a stability control system and the OnStar emergency service. It comes with six air bags and rear seat side air bags were

an option and standard on GS. Regal’s crash test performance was also outstanding and earned it a “top safety pick” rating from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. So far, overall reliability has been “average” accord-ing to Consumer Reports, but it did get a “recom-mended buy” rating and is one of the top-rated vehicles in its class.

By Rob Sass1. 1966-80 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow: At around the cost of a loaded Ford Focus for a nice one, it’s hard not to be tempted by the upper crust looks of a vintage Rolls-Royce. But go in with your eyes open: A simple brake service can exceed $1,000, with the special Rolls-Royce brake fluid going for $125 all by itself. Try to substitute something from your local auto parts store and you could be looking at $3,000 or more to repair the damage. That famous Parthenon-like grille

in front is about $2,500 used if you can find one. The hood ornament alone can cost more than $1,500. 2. 1975-85 Ferrari 308 GTB/GTS: At around $30,000, this lovely thing represents one of the lowest points of entry to the storied Ferrari brand. Fortunately, Tom Selleck in the part of Thomas Magnum probably never had to foot the shop bill to maintain his employer’s 308. If he did, he’d likely have had to pawn the Hawaiian shirt and moustache. While Ferrari 308s have gained a reputation for being reasonably reliable

cars as Italian exotics go, they are maintenance-inten-sive and things do break, particularly with the oldest now approaching 40 years old. That lovely combina-tion switch that operates the turn signals and pop-up headlights? They can cost close to a grand. A belt service including the all-important timing belt needs to happen at least every five years or 30,000 miles. Ignore it and you could be on the line for a $15,000-plus engine rebuild. 3. 1968-72 Mercedes-Benz 300SEL 6.3: The 6.3 is

the closest that Mercedes ever came to building a Detroit-style muscle car back in the day (albeit a four-door one). Sporting a huge 384 cubic-inch V-8 with fuel injection and over 300 hp, the 6.3 was capable of a sub-six second 0-60 run and a 14.2-second ¼-mile time. All of this came at a huge price, though, both in acquisition costs and maintenance. A complete rebuild of the air suspension system can cost more than $5,000, as can the wonderfully complex pre-comput-er, mechanical fuel-injection system.

Money pits: High maintenance classics
