Joy Thorkelson is wondering who will stand up for the commercial fishing industry in light of another dismal season on the North Coast.

“The Skeena fishing story is, unfortunately, a sad one again this year. This season the Department of Fisheries predicted the Skeena run size to be 2.64 million sockeye. They allowed the commercial fleet to catch 474,081 sockeye or 18 per cent of the run,” she wrote in a letter indicating the United Fishermen and Allied Workers’ Union is pushing for a 40 per cent allotment after approximately 1.9 million reached Babine Lake.

“A 40 per cent harvest would have given the commercial fleet a catch of one million sockeye instead of the 475,000 that DFO thought was

enough. A 40 per cent harvest would have brought an extra $6 million to fishermen and doubled shore-workers’ earnings. North Coast communities would be a-buzz.”

Thorkelson had the opportunity to raise some of her questions directly with government when the Ministry of Natural Resource’s fish and wildlife manager for the Skeena region, Dana Atagi, came before council on Sept. 2. Atagi said

while the Department of Fisheries and Oceans was responsible for opening and closing fisheries, the well-being of the commercial fishing industry was a priority for the provincial government.

“One of the things in our policy document is that it recognizes the commercial industry and that the province, and the various sectors in the province, recognize that there are commercial objectives to be achieved and a balance to be found to get the fish up the river and maintain a commercial fishery on the coast,” he said.

“It really is about the selective opportunities that will be available in the commercial fishery that will ameliorate and achieve that balance. I don’t know how we get there, but we are not so naive to believe that there are equitable interests on both sides of the ledger.”

Residents of Prince Rupert can add Digby Island as a possible location for a liquefied natural gas export terminal on the North Coast.

Filings from Aurora LNG, which signed an exclusivity agreement for land at Grassy Point, indicate the company is considering locating its terminal either near Lax Kw’alaams or on the southeast portion of Digby Island right at the entrance of the Prince Rupert harbour.

On the land, plans for the terminal would include up to four LNG trains capable of producing between five and six million metric tonnes per year.

Watson Island buildings to be

torn downBY SHAUN THOMAS PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

After nearly five years under the ownership of the City of Prince Rupert, a contract has been awarded to remove and dismantle several buildings at the former Watson Island pulp mill site.

At the Sept. 2 meeting, council announced that they had awarded the contract for work at the site to Stantec Engineering. The company should be beginning work this winter.

“It is anticipated we will see some buildings come down in the new year ... most of the buildings will come down, but some will be left standing because they can have other uses, such as the administration building,” explained Prince Rupert Mayor Jack Mussallem.

“This is very important in terms of redeveloping Watson Island and the goal of supporting new industry and new jobs.”

The total value of the contract is $220,000, but Mussallem said residents of Prince Rupert won’t be left footing the bill.

“The money was put up by Sun Wave Forest Products as part of the settlement with the city,” he said, noting there may be an opportunity to recoup some money the city had previously spent.

“There is some equipment on-site that is of value to the pulp industry and there have been inquiries about that.”

As well as the four trains, plans for the terminal call for up to three 180,000 cubic metre LNG storage tanks and a flare system, with the site being powered by natural gas from the plant intake. In terms of on-water infrastructure, the terminal would have a conventional trestle with up to three berths for carriers.

While the diagrams included in the filing include “safety zones” on the water, Prince Rupert Port Authority spokesperson Kris Schumacher said discussions about the berths and impacts on access to the harbour have yet to take place.

“The marine berth as proposed for the terminal would require engagement with the port authority around feasibility and a water lot permit. Currently there is no such agreement and the port authority has had no input,” he said, noting the land itself is not under the umbrella of the Prince Rupert Port Authority.

“The Prince Rupert Port Authority would expect to engage with Aurora LNG in the near-term to discuss marine berth location and design and ensure safe travel and access to the Prince Rupert harbour.”

To accommodate construction, the

project would include an on-site work camp to house between 4,000 and 5,000 workers in “motel-style” units. During the operational phase, Aurora LNG said it will use the worker camp for up to 400 “permanent operations

and maintenance personnel” as well as provide a space for skills training and capacity building for the community.

Aurora LNG declined to comment, citing the ongoing environmental assessment.

Five people were able to walk away from an accident that left an SUV submerged at the Prince Rupert waterfront.

The vehicle was driving in the lot next to the old VIA Rail station at approximately 12:30 a.m. on Sept. 3

when the driver lost control, sending the SUV over the banks of Rotary Waterfront Park. There were no injuries reported, but Const. Matt Ericson said speed was a factor and the driver was issued various Motor Vehicle Act violations.

A crane was brought in to fish the vehicle out of the water on the afternoon of Sept. 4.

TAKING FLIGHTTAKING FLIGHT

The lack of a commitment from the provincial representatives to policy change, however, didn’t create much reason for optimism for Thorkelson.

“Is there somebody in the

Province who is going to say that the commercial fishing industry also has a right to exist and that there needs to be a balance because we have seen ... no balance within the ministry’s statements and policy,” she said.

“I was looking for a champion for the commercial fishing industry. I don’t expect to find a champion for the commercial sector within the DFO, but I was hoping to find one somewhere in the province.”

FISHERMEN from Page A1

UFAWU seeking champion

For those keeping track, there are now seven companies seeking to construct an LNG export terminal in the Prince Rupert area.

This week Orca LNG joined Pacific NorthWest LNG at Lelu Island, the BG Group on Ridley Island, WCC LNG across the harbour on Lot 444, Woodside LNG at Grassy Point, Aurora LNG at either Grassy Point or Digby Island and Watson Island LNG on Watson

Island. That is to say nothing of Triton LNG, which is weighing its options between Kitimat an Prince Rupert.

Couple that with the three LNG terminals proposed for Kitimat, one at Kitsault and one in Stewart and the map of northwestern B.C. quickly fills up with the 13 potential LNG projects along the North Coast.

All told, there are 17 projects proposed throughout the province, despite most experts anticipating only three to four of the terminals to come to fruition. Some of the projects have significant international support and are far along in the environmental assessment process while others are just getting started.

With the most advanced of the terminal plans located in the region, there is no doubt that the Northwest should be at the top of the list of priorities for Christy Clark, who is determined to see the industry grow. After all, if the Northwest doesn’t succeed and meet the needs of industry it is unlikely the industry reaches its potential.

And yet that sense of urgency doesn’t seem to be there. People with legitimate concerns are having them heard by proponents who are more than happy to listen and take those concerns under advisement, but the opportunity for people to talk directly to the decision makers in Victoria has been few and far between. In the battle for public support, the opponents are getting their message out loud and clear in the region while the province has been largely absent in telling people in the Northwest why LNG is being pursued.

Instead, as usual, they are holed up in the Lower Mainland where the votes - but not the LNG industry - are going to be found. If they want the industry to grow, they need to come to the communities where people will be hardest hit.

A4 September 10, 2014A4 September 10, 2014 www.thenorthernview.com

Come to where the industry is

It was economist Herb Stein who said that something that can’t go on forever, won’t. He might have been talking about the follies of economics but he could

have been talking about public education.The dysfunctional mess that bureaucrats and union

leaders have placed teachers, parents and children in is something that absolutely can’t go on.

The entrenched and embittered standoff between the BCTF and the government already cost some students their graduating year last June and has cost all students in the province their first week in the new school year. Now it’s threatening to disrupt the academic year if this goes on much longer. Already there are suggestions the strike could go beyond October.

That is unforgivable. Both parties squandered the entire summer when they could have sat down and negotiated at least some of the issues and moved forward toward a solution. Instead, they dug in, stalemated, and glared at the other to see who would blink first. How, well, childish.

According to the UN Declaration of the Rights of the Child, every child has the right to an education. What happened to that statement in this dispute?

People are mad. Some parents have dumped the public school system and enrolled their children in private schools. Daycare centres are swamped, day camps are springing up, parents are taking kids to work or enrolling them in home school while others are opening their homes and providing care and educational activities for other parents’ children. Some kids are home alone. And some teachers have set up shop to offer coaching. That’ll get up the union’s nose. But bottom line: struggling teachers with no income are going

to put food on the table one way or another. That’s priority one. The average teacher, like many wage-earners, simply can’t go more than a couple of months without a paycheque before finances start to pinch.

This standoff, which has actually been going on for over a decade, could be the catalyst for change. Parents may find there’s more than one way to educate their children and alternate ways to the public school system may have an appeal, especially after this gong show.

Distance learning, online courses, home schooling, private schools and private tuition are catching attention. They aren’t for everyone but they are viable options and coming under more scrutiny given the current frustration. Online courses in particular have exploded in the U.S. According to author Glenn Reynolds in his book The K-12 Implosion, there are over 1.8 million K-12 students enrolled in online schools, most of them in high school.

Then there are the eclectic charter schools that receive public funding but operate independently. Alberta has some 22 charter schools that operate similar to those in the U.S. They have a greater degree of autonomy and are able to offer programs that may be different from regular public schools.

No one seems to have an exit plan. Both sides have an intractable mindset, each endlessly blaming the other as casualties in the rhetoric war. Fuelling the standoff is not the way to play the negotiating game. Discussion, compromise, and willingness to give and take are needed to move forward.

The greatest casualty in this mess is a child’s education.~Margaret Evans is the columnist for the Chilliwack Progress.

EA process involves detailed reviewsThe Prince Rupert

Port Authority is working to make its

operations sustainable. This means committing to keeping our marine and foreshore environments safe and healthy for future generations.

An important part of that commitment is the rigorous environmental assess-ments that designated proposed projects in PRPA’s jurisdiction must undertake.

The process begins when a company presents a regulator, which for a feder-ally-regulated EA is the Canadian Environmental Assessment Authority, with a project description for a development on port property.

The project description is usually drafted after a feasibility study’s initial groundwork is completed. It can include a site examination, engineering surveys, ecological studies, and more. Depending on the scope of the project, the descrip-tion may trigger the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act, 2012 (CEAA 2012). CEAA 2012 uses criteria to identify so-called “designated” projects.

Projects such as the liquid natural gas export facilities proposed for Ridley and Lelu Islands are designated projects under the CEAA 2012. These new de-velopments need to be thoroughly examined using a rigorous review process to address any environmental impacts. The detailed project description is provided to the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency which distributes it to in-terested groups. These include federal government agencies likely to have a regu-latory responsibility or a special interest in the project—like Environment Can-ada, Transport Canada, Fisheries and Oceans Canada and the Prince Rupert Port Authority. The Agency asks these organizations whether their respective federal legislation is invoked by the project, and whether they have a particular interest.

Once all potential stakeholders have responded, a “working group” is formed that includes the interested participants and the company. The Canadian En-vironmental Assessment Authority coordinates the assessment. The working group defines the roles of each participant, establishes a schedule, and deter-mines all the factors that should be considered. This may include requirements for additional technical studies or analysis. The group works to ensure that it has gathered all relevant and available environmental and socio-cultural data about the project. After each meeting of the working group, the company takes away the information the group has collected and works to answer outstanding ques-tions and provide missing information. The working group continues its review of the project and gathers more information until all its questions and concerns are properly addressed.

When the working group is satisfied that a determination can be made, a report is submitted to the Minister of the Environment for review. If the min-ister approves the project it proceeds to the permitting phase. This involves the acquisition of the necessary permits from all the agencies whose permission is required to proceed. The permitting agencies may require additional studies or data prior to issuance of permits. For example, Transport Canada could au-thorize the construction of a new dock if it is satisfied that the dock will not adversely impact navigation.

Once the EA is complete and permits are issued, the Port Authority as land-lord may authorize the project to proceed and the project begins—shaped by the input and requirements of the many stakeholders who participated in the Environmental Assessment.

Letters to the editorLetters to the editor

Editor: The Canada Revenue Agency—which

appears to have become an arm of the PMO—is currently auditing several Canadian charities, looking for suspect “political activity.”

The list of targets include Amnesty International Canada, the United Church of Canada’s Kairos fund, the David Suzuki Foundation, PEN Canada (the Toronto-based freedom of speech organization), the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives, Canada Without Poverty, even Oxfam Canada.

All these groups have spoken out against the Harper government at one time or another.

(I assume the right-wing Fraser Institute, which wades frequently into politics, has been spared a visit from the agency.)

Agency officials informed Oxfam that “preventing poverty” was not an acceptable goal. Oxfam was warned: “Relieving poverty is charitable, but preventing it is not. Preventing poverty could mean providing for a class of beneficiaries that are not poor.” Oxfam Canada’s executive director Robert Fox called the exchange he had with Canada Revenue Agency officials an “absurd conversation.”

Charities shouldn’t fear Harper’s bluster. Diane Bertolin writes in Collective Publishing Company (Online Magazine for Innovative Individuals and Entrepreneurs): “Charities can dedicate 10 per cent of their total resources, including a volunteer’s time, to

supporting or opposing a government policy. It cannot, however, directly support a party

or politician … the federal government, in its 2012 budget, decided to change the rules. The Feds have decided that they will be holding charities accountable to the 10 per cent rule. If a charitable organization exceeds the 10 per cent rule, then it can be sanctioned by having its tax receipting privilege suspended for one year.”

There are about 100,000 charities in Canada. In 2013, of 880 charities audited, (an additional $8 million was budgeted for it) only one lost its license to act as a charity, and it wasn’t even one of those “radical” environmental groups which the Harper government despise so much.

Was that good use of taxpayer money?On July 25, NDP MP Paul Dewar (Official

Opposition Critic for Foreign Affairs) said of the Harper government: “What I see here is more of a crass ideological campaign against some of our proudest and most effective organizations.”

Editor: Firstly, we have the Enbridge oil sands

pipeline which is a threat to our environment and the future of our children.

Most British Columbians do not want to see its construction, running through our territories, over and or through our rivers, our mountains and our backyards.

Secondly, there is the LNG, the liquefied natural gas industry and their pipelines, which are equally as threatening as an oil pipeline, perhaps even more so.

Thirdly, there is the Eagle Spirit oil pipeline which although is not related or a part of the Enbridge company, it is as much a threat as any other project.

Boasting to be a First Nations company

does not make it any different or right to be accepted, a pipeline is a pipeline, an oil spill is an oil spill.

It will be as catastrophic as any other spill and is contrary to our culture, traditions and teachings of our elders and spiritual leaders.

I was taught by elders and spiritual leaders, from many nations throughout North and South America. They taught me that we First Nations were put here on Turtle Island to be the guardians and caretakers of this part of great mother Earth.

I say ‘no’ to Enbridge. I say ‘no’ to LNG and I say ‘no’ to Eagle Spirit pipeline!

All pipelines are dangerous

BY KEVIN CAMPBELLPRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

Wrestling, snowboarding and forest firefighting aren’t common paths for your typical entrepreneur, but it’s one that Marc Page took and the business owner and engaged community member wouldn’t trade it for anything.

The Loaded Sports owner and born-and-raised Rupertite has ventured down most walks of life, and every pit-stop has offered a little bit of a different life lesson or philosophy that to this day, he swears by.

It started with amateur wrestling in high school.

“I was in the paper quite a bit for wrestling [during the early ‘90s]. I competed at the provincial level and ranked in [the top five] in B.C. in AA and AAA in my Grade 12 year,” said Marc last week.

But it wasn’t always glamorous and it wasn’t easy for Marc. It took three straight years of ending up on the wrong side of the mat for Marc to fine-tune himself into the driven individual he is today.

“It takes a lot to be a wrestler and lose a lot of matches ... at some point when you’re in a wrestling match and you’re losing and you’re on your back, you can say ‘I give up’ or you can say ‘I’m going to fight with everything I’ve got’ and that’s the one thing I learned from wrestling,” said Marc of his formative years.

After graduating high school, Marc would go on to coach the sport for nine years to give back to wrestling after it guided him through so much.

“At times, we had great teams and great athletes come through and I really miss it because it kept me in shape too,” he added.

It wasn’t an immediate transition to extreme sports or opening up Loaded in downtown Prince Rupert either. It started with a unique viewpoint of the tough times Rupert would go through in the early 2000s.

“I graduated as the town slowed down. A lot of people left our community because of the pulp mill crash and ... I was working at the credit union doing collections at that time and the economy was so bad here, there was no work for people to sustain their mortgage payments so people were dropping off the keys to their homes saying ‘I’ve got to go to Alberta, it’s the only way for me to survive anymore’,” said Page.

That’s when Marc was introduced to snowboarding, the most active sport he takes part in to this day.

“My cousin got me into snowboarding

when I was a teenager ... when I graduated I was able to do my coaching and go snowboarding [living out of Terrace], and I was starting to go 20 or 30 days of the season to Shames Mountain and that’s when I became extremely addicted to the adrenaline rush you get,” he said.

“It’s like when you’re going fast downhill like on a roller coaster or on a winding road in a car, with snowboarding you’re able to control that feeling at high speeds and with smooth finesse. Just slashing some snow and watching it fly or grabbing air off a cliff. And on a perfect day, the landings don’t hurt if you wipe out.”

Marc was bitten by the extreme sports bug, but through his days shredding the mountains, picking up ice hockey and a fateful day out on the water riding a tube behind a speed-boat Marc damaged his knees.

“They say play within your limits when it comes to gambling and technically when it comes to extreme sports, you’re gambling with your life, so there’s always a risk when you’re pushing your limits,” he said.

Riding a device that was pulled off the market two weeks later, Marc caught 20 feet of air on the ocean in an inner tube and rode the high for 15 seconds before it started spinning out of control, flipping him over and slamming him back down to the water.

Coupled with an awkward fall in ice hockey, his knees have never been the same. And it was because of the knees, mixed with his asthma, that after six summers of fighting forest fires in the early 2000s, Marc had to call it quits even though it was his dream to save lives.

“I originally wanted to be a structural

firefighter and I thought this would be a good way to get in, but in the end I’m not the best person for a firefighting career if I’ve got asthma ... and the job is in such demand that there’s someone better-suited for it than me,” said Marc.

“It was awesome. It was one of the best jobs I’ve ever had. You get to travel Canada and see so much terrain that I would have never had the opportunity to see – back roads and canyons and rivers and waterfalls and lakes and swimming holes.”

It was also through that career that he first developed his brainchild of Loaded.

“Forest firefighting, when you’re out there you have lots of time to think. So I was thinking of opening up a store – I had a name picked out and I drew a logo and I came back to Rupert in the fall of 2004,” he said.

Through his mom’s retail experience owning property and ordering product through catalogues, Marc had the necessary know-how and knew the right companies to talk to to get skateboard and snowboard brands into his store. These companies wouldn’t sell their product to just anyone: The shops had to be specifically related to the extreme sporting enthusiast.

“We opened up right before Christmas and it was a success right off the bat. Rupert hadn’t seen a skateboard shop that had lasted more than six months,” he said.

After three years, Marc bought the building and is slowly revitalizing it for expansion.

Through Loaded, Marc also organizes and sponsors a plethora of skateboarding and snowboarding contests and competitions for the area youth and is adamant the entry fee be $0.

“My philosophy when I came into the business was if I was going to try to make money off this sport, I had to give back,” he said.

Marc encourages his posse to record their stunts on video and be creative with his boards. That has blossomed into a community of extreme sport enthusiasts.

Lately, Marc has offered up his opinion on the future of recreation in Prince Rupert with a seat on the city’s rec commission and has helped ensure the civic centre be transformed into a safe haven for boarders and anyone looking to get active on Friday and Saturday nights with free entry into the building.

“A quote I picked up from my teenage years is ‘99 per cent of life is what you make it’ ... I understand everyone is born with different situations and different hardships but we all have to overcome something,” said Marc.

“I just hope that all these kids facing challenges these days .... try to realize they have a choice on how they want to live their lives and I want to help these guys out and get them in the right direction because that’s what I had – good guidance. I had people to get me where I needed to go and progress and learn and develop. I just feel obligated to give back.”

City claims PRPA not paying

full tax billBY SHAUN THOMAS PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

A report from chief financial officer Corinne Bomben indicates the City of Prince Rupert and the Prince Rupert Port Authority (PRPA) remain far apart when it comes to what the PRPA should be paying in taxes.

“The city has received the Prince Rupert Port Authority’s 2014 payment-in-lieu of tax (PILT) payment. The city’s share, the amount we notified the port to pay based on applicable mill rates and their assessment based on BC Assessment, was $1.675 million and this amount was approved in the 2014 budget. The amount the port has paid is $1.152 million ... this is $523,000 short of what was budgeted,” she told council at the Sept. 2 meeting, noting the shortfall won’t affect taxpayers this year.

“Had the port not made another interim payment in relation to prior years while we continue to attempt to resolve our dispute regarding land values, the city would be projecting a deficit after this short payment. Currently we are not projecting a deficit.”

For its part, Prince Rupert Port Authority marketing and communications officer Kris Schumacher said the port authority provided a $1.7 million interim payment as the two sides work toward a deal on the PILT.

“The payment was specifically identified as interim due to the ongoing evaluation discussion between the City and PRPA ... the advanced payments were a good faith gesture to ensure that the time required resolving this issue did not cause the City and its taxpayers undue financial stress,” he said, noting the interim payments and PILT payment are only a portion of tax revenue generated from port-related activities.

“This amount does not include the property taxes paid by PRPA tenants, and does not include the Port Competitiveness Tax Grant paid by the B.C. Government.”

Education Minister Peter Fassbender says the province may take extraordinary steps to ensure senior secondary students’ school year is not cut short by the teachers strike.

That could mean adding days to the school calendar later in the year, he said, to ensure Grade 12 students in particular complete their courses and get all the marks they need.

“Do you put it on the end of the year? Do you take it out of Spring Break? Do you take it out of Christmas holidays? My staff are looking at all of the options,” Fassbender said.

“It’s going to depend on how long this drags out. Whatever length of time it takes to get this settled, we will do everything we can to make sure the school year is kept whole for those students.”

It’s unclear how the government would finance adding extra days of classes later when all of the $12 million per day in strike savings may be consumed by the province’s offer of $40-a-day payments to parents.

“If they were accumulating the savings, that would be one thing – they would have a fund,” Vancouver School Board chair Patti Bacchus said.

“But they’re giving away the budget right now to parents that would be otherwise available to pay for that.”

As of Thursday, 63 per cent of parents of eligible public school children under 13 had signed up for the $40 payments, which are expected to be made as a lump sum after the strike ends.

Other costs that the province

continues to incur while schools are closed include salaries for school administration as well as support staff with other unions that are eligible to be compensated for pay lost for not crossing teacher picket lines.

Support staff costs could hit $5 million a day once all their union locals ratify new contracts.

Education ministry officials said school districts would be consulted on any potential changes to the school year to mitigate the strike.

But Bacchus said she’s heard nothing so far and predicted it would be disruptive to families that have booked vacations and made other commitments far in advance.

“It’s not going to be easy,” she said, noting changes would also require exemptions from School Act requirements.

Talk of calendar adjustments is another sign of possible long-term implications from the strike, even though it has only disrupted the first few days of the new school year.

The stalemate between the two parties continued last week.

Premier Christy Clark urged the B.C. Teachers Federation to suspend its strike to allow public school classes to

open while negotiations continue.And she insisted the union get

“realistic” and move towards the public sector pattern on wage increases so the two sides can hammer out a deal to improve class support for special needs, which she called the biggest issue facing the education system.

“There are no easy fixes and no shortcuts to achieving long-term labour peace for kids,” Clark said in a news conference Wednesday afternoon.

“This is going to be settled at the negotiating table by negotiators. There’s no magic wand, there’s no one who can walk in and say ‘Guess what? I’ve come up with some simple, easy way that’s magically going to solve this.’”

The premier said the union’s position is unreasonably high and made repeated references to BCTF demands for massage therapy benefits – a request that was dropped in recent weeks – and a $5,000 signing bonus that would cost the province more than $150 million.

For his part, Iker urged the province to agree to arbitration and leave class size and composition to be settled by the courts, promising the union would then hold a membership vote on suspending the strike and returning to work.

Jeff Nagel / Black Press

Education minister Peter Fassbender said the province is considering extending the school year to make up for lost time.

On Aug. 4 and again on Aug. 25, two groups of eight youth descended upon the Skeena River for week-long camps designed to foster an environment of team building, leadership, sharing, pro-social activities and stewardship.

The camp, aptly named by the participants as Camp Squirky, was hosted by Prince Rupert Crime Stoppers and

Northstream Environmental Group with the intended goal of creating a camp for youth led by youth.

“The purpose of this camp was to create an environment in which youth could build strong lasting relationships with each other, local service providers and local First Nations groups,” said Mike Russell of Prince Rupert Crime Stoppers.

Throughout the two camps, campers participated in several activities that taught leadership, teamwork and, during the evenings, sharing at a fireside chat that provided the opportunity to discuss goals and challenges that each participant had faced.

Daytime hours were dedicated to modern river fishing techniques, the

importance of conserving the environment and basic wilderness survival techniques such as bushcraft, firecraft and water procurement.

“This camp was a huge opportunity for young people to get out into nature during the summer months and learn about environment, wilderness survival and themselves. A great deal of fun was had by all and I see a huge opportunity for the Prince Rupert youth community to really benefit from an initiative such as this,” said camp organizer and Crime Stoppers coordinator Const. Matt Ericson.

In the immediate future Crime Stoppers will be hosting additional camps during the year with the next camp anticipated to take place during the school district’s winter break where participants will learn cold weather survival techniques.

“Currently we are seeking applications from youth to join us at winter camp,” said Mike, noting space at the upcoming camps is being limited to 10 participants.

“All we ask is that potential candidates contact Prince Rupert Crimestoppers at prc r imes [email protected], and tell us why they want to participate in the camp and what value they feel they would gain by attending,”

For additional information please contact Prince Rupert Crimestoppers at prc r imes [email protected].

Prince Rupert Mayor Jack Mussallem is calling on CityWest to remove the $2 fee for those wanting paper bills.

“We have got seniors and others on fixed income and none of them as subscribers, made a decision to have City West use computers and put them at a disadvantage where it would cost them additional money per month

because they want a paper statement,” he said at the Sept. 2 council meeting.

While Coun. Barry Cunningham noted CityWest has a list of people without Internet who won’t be charged for paper bills and anyone can go to the office and add their name, Mayor Mussallem said that wasn’t good enough.

“I think it is totally unfair that the onus is put on the subscriber. I would prefer, as we are the representative of the shareholders of that corporation,

that our city manager goes back to board of directors and the staff. The onus shouldn’t be on the subscriber. I think it’s totally unfair,” he said.

On Aug. 28, a number of companies that charge paper bill fees agreed to provide exemptions for customers who have no personal or home broadband connection, persons with disabilities who need a paper bill, seniors aged 65 and over and veterans of the Canadian Armed Forces.

CityWest declined to comment.

Orca LNG plans Rupert terminalBY SHAUN THOMAS PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

Another company planning to export liquefied natural gas is turning its attention to the North Coast

Orca LNG submitted its application to the National Energy Board for a licence to export 24 million metric tonnes per annum (mtpa) of LNG for 25 years from a yet-to-be-determined location “in the vicinity of Prince Rupert”.

“The project is planned to consist of six floating liquefaction storage and offloading (FLNG) vessels, permanently moored near-shore as they become available and are placed into operation,” reads the company’s filing.

“Each FLNG vessel is expected to have liquefaction capabilities, LNG storage capacity of 250,000 cubic meters, and be able to deliver LNG to off-taking LNG carriers by utilizing a ship-to-ship process. Each vessel will be able to liquefy approximately 4-5 mtpa of LNG.”

Orca LNG is expecting to commence exports in 2019 with one vessel. The number of ships would calling on the terminal would increase as construction of additional FLNG vessels is completed.

The gas itself would be coming from the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin. Although Orca LNG is in discussion with “several pipeline companies” about using either existing infrastructure of the construction of a dedicated pipeline.

Enbridge bursaries distributed to NWCC studentsBY ROD LINK TERRACE / Black Press

Seven months after Northwest Community College first accepted and then rejected $15,000 from Enbridge for student bursaries, the money is being distributed.

And, said an Enbridge official, it has increased the original $15,000 sum to $20,000.

In all, eight students enrolled in either the college’s trades, technology, science

and environmental programs will each receive $2,500.

“We initially budgeted for six bursaries, but after reading these compelling applications we realized the need was greater than we expected. So we increased the amount to eight bursaries,” said Enbridge official Catherine Pennington.

Enbridge has been heavily criticized for its plan to build the Northern Gateway pipeline to carry crude oil from Alberta through northern B.C. to a marine export terminal at Kitimat.

The original acceptance of the money, which at the time followed college policy, was heatedly debated at a subsequent college board meeting with some members arguing that accepting the money would be wrong.

A majority of the board members then passed a motion to return the money.

But the college also pledged to assist in getting the money to students.

Enbridge’s Pennington described the bursary applications as “incredibly personal and moving,”

“I hugely admire Northern Gateway for supporting the students of the Pacific Northwest to make their dreams come true. As a student who struggles every year to save money for school, I know that every little bit of help counts,” said bursary recipient Terra Nord, a second year student at the college’s Terrace campus.

She’s working on an associate of science degree in environmental science with a goal of obtaining a Bachelor of Science degree.


The leader of Alberta’s official opposition is raising the idea of a cross-country commercial corridor to handle pipelines and other industry-related activities, reports the Canadian Press.

Speaking at the North Saskatoon Business Association luncheon on Sept. 4, Wild Rose Party leader Danielle Smith said dedicating one corridor to industry across the country would create certainty for firms looking to access Asian or European markets and may also create a new TransCanada Highway across the north.

“Think of the possibility for Saskatchewan,” Smith said.

“A highway, or a railway line, or both, connecting Flin Flon through the Clearwater region to Fort McMurray and on to the port in Prince Rupert.”

Terry Fox Run to take place this SundayBY MARTINA PERRY PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

For more than 30 years Canadians have been working to outrun cancer through annual Terry Fox Run events across the country.

The 2014 Terry Fox Run in Prince Rupert will take place on Sunday, Sept. 14, with registration beginning outside of Northern Savings Credit Union (NSCU) at noon. Then, at 1 p.m. the run will start, with participants being able to do either

a five or 10 kilometre course that is also suitable for bikes, wheelchairs, strollers and other wheeled devices.

Following the run there will be a barbecue in front of NSCU, where door prizes will be handed out.

Along with the efforts of avid-Terry Fox Foundation fundraiser Jim Terrion, Prince Rupert’s 2013 event raised more than $30,000 for the organization.

Terrion recently returned to Prince Rupert in order to go door-to-door to collect donations and will be at the run

on Sunday. Terrion began his Terry Fox fundraising efforts in 1990 and has collected approximately $600,000 since then. His ultimate goal is to raise $1 million for the Terry Fox Foundation.

Fox had to have his right leg amputated 15 centimetres above his knee back in 1977, after discovering he had a malignant tumour. The evening prior to his amputation, Fox read an article about an amputee runner that sparked an idea that evolved into the Marathon of Hope.

On April 12, 1980, Fox dipped his

artificial leg into the Atlantic Ocean, and began his journey. One hundred and forty-three days and 5,373 kilometres later, Fox was forced to end the marathon outside of Thunder Bay, Ontario because his primary cancer had spread to his lungs.

Fox passed away on June 28, 1981. People can participate in Prince

Rupert’s Terry Fox Run by donation, and can choose to fundraise additional money by picking up a pledge form prior to the walk at Northern Savings Credit Union.

Jon Jones and David Piotto of Telus wrapped up their week-long #actsofcaring campaign with a community barbecue on Sept. 6. Telus representatives could be seen throughout town during the week helping people and delivering free coffee or snacks to customers. Every time an image of one of those acts was shared on social media, Telus made a $5 donation to North Coast charities.

They had been battling head-to-head at the top of the league all season, but the Coast Industrial Construction Leftovers and Frank’s Auto of the Kaien Island Slo Pitch League (KISL) finally came to an explosive head on Sunday’s “A” division final.

The Leftovers, led by coach Mimmo Ciccone were in a dead-heat with Frank’s, tied 3-3 going into the sixth-inning of the seven-inning affair when the Leftovers’ Aaron Sampare blasted a three-run homerun to the opposite field, breaking the game open to make it 6-3 en-route to a fourth straight playoffs championship run for the Leftovers with a final score of 10-3.

Some outstanding infield defensive work from Krista Astoria, first-baseman Sandy Lowe and Desiree McNeill made sure the ball never left the scope of the diamond while Frank’s was at bat in the final two innings. They also got on base a good number of times

“Our girls came through big-time,” said Ciccone.

“All year long, we’ve always had the compliment of girls that we’ve needed every game and they’ve come through for us all year. With the bunts for us tonight and getting on base, [they played outstanding].”

Another three-run dinger by Sampare in the seventh put the game away for good for the Leftovers, who, in the regular

season, tied Frank’s once, lost to them once and beat them once; part of only two of three blemishes on Frank’s terrific 30-2-1 (W-L-T) regular season record that put them atop the KISL standings.

“Just got lucky,” said Sampare of his two home runs.

“I just played hard and that’s about it ... the game was good. It’s my first year with the team and it’s a positive team – good players and a good group.”

Frank’s pitcher Trevor Girbav intentionally walked some of the Leftovers’ bigger hitters but couldn’t stymie Sampare in a good showing for the Frank’s ace. Steve Joseph and Real Jones also contributed.

Jonathan Hunt sat down more than a few opposing hitters in an impressive showing on the mound for the Leftovers ,who were facing a bit of a depleted Frank’s lineup.

“They had a couple injuries as well.

I don’t think they necessarily had their best team out there [with the hurt players out], but they’re a good team. The [Sea-Sport] Sluggers are another up-and-coming team. It’s their second year [in the league]; they just lost in the semi-finals to [Frank’s], 13-12. It could have went either way for them.

The KISL year-end awards ceremony is tentatively scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 20.

Thorpe set to lead recreation to new heightsBY KEVIN CAMPBELLPRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

After over a month of searching, and taking applicants from across Canada and parts of the United States, the Prince Rupert Department of Recreation and Community Services has found their new director.

Willa Thorpe arrived on the scene last week to lead a revamped recreation department that’s been overhauled during the past few months with the addition of a recreation commission and insight from Brent Meunier, Prince Rupert’s recreation consultant who will be with the department until the end of September.

“I think that Rupert’s got everything

a big city has but more with a sense of community,” said Thorpe, who most recently served as executive director of the Vancouver Curling Club and facility manager at Smithers’ Bulkley Valley Regional Pool and Recreation Centre.

Thorpe’s extensive history with a variety of facilities and user groups made her the prime candidate for Meunier and the city, who were looking for someone to manage many of the different facilities Prince Rupert offers and to improve the services and programs the city already boasts for residents.

“I think that my participatory style [helped the city identify me as a target] so I’m really looking to have our recreation department and facilities working like a

team so that any successes we have, we’re going to all have together,” said Thorpe.

“We’ve got a lot of strong people that work in our department and I think really keying in on everyone’s experience and knowledge, skills and abilities [will be necessary].”

The City of Prince Rupert operates the Jim Ciccone Civic and Earl Mah Aquatic Centres along with three baseball diamonds beside the civic centre, one diamond at Roosevelt Park Community School, Patullo Field and two public tennis courts.

Maintaining parks and fields, however, doesn’t fall under the recreation department’s jurisdiction, but through the Department of Engineering and Public

Works. Thorpe will be tasked with making

necessary changes under tight budgetary constraints to improve the department.

“I think that no matter how good change is and how positive it is, there’s always going to be challenges for folks. I think that everyone bearing with the change and getting everyone on board and seeing the future to be bright here in Rupert is important ... we’ll all be much stronger when we get to the other side so it’s that patience that’s going to be key for everyone,” she said.

Thorpe will meet with the existing recreation commission regularly to provide a long-term vision for the department.

Rose Holkestad swung her way to the 2014 Prince Rupert Ladies Club Championship title, carding a low gross score of 174 including an 18-hole total of 86 on Saturday. The fi rst-overall low net champ was Dorothy Wharton, who had a net of 142 off a gross score of 215. Thirteen participants took part in the weekend competition.

As the saying goes, you can never get bored of winning.

It’s certainly true for Rose Holkestad, who captured the Prince Rupert Ladies Club Championship over the weekend with a terrific 36-hole low gross score of 174 including a first day 18-hole total of 86.

“[Saturday’s] back nine I shot a 39; best game I’ve played all year,” said Holkestad.

“I just played well. Everything came together and my putts were great and all my hits were good. It just all came together really well.”

Holkestad has been on a tear on the greens lately.

In the past two years alone, the ace has won the 2013 and 2014 Vic Marion Senior’s Open women’s title and took the 2013 Ladies’ Jubilee low net along with many other achievements at the Rupert Golf Club.

Holkestad shot a birdie on Saturday’s 17th hole and played together with Selma Standring and Jean Eby while on Sunday, she putted with Karin Williamson, Janet Sheppard and Aina Pettersen.

But does she get used to the low scores?

“No, no,” Holkestad dismissed.“Golf is one of those games where

you can go out and think you have it all together and it completely blows up on you, so it’s just one of those games where you never know what you’re going to play.”

First-overall low-net went to Dorothy Wharton who was very consistent over both days, scoring a net of 142 off a score of 218.

Maria Wells won the second low-net with a 155 off of a gross of 215. Third and fourth low net went to Eby and Standring who notched low nets of 161 and 162 off grosses of 217 and 220 respectively.

“I think we’re more encouraging [with each other],” said Holkestad of the club championship, since everyone knows each other quite well.

“You can sort of tell whether or not someone is playing well or if they’re struggling a little bit.”

Thirteen participants took to the greens on the weekend including Holkestad, Eby, Standring, Wharton, Williamson, Sheppard, Wells, Pettersen, Carol Schaeffer, Carol Bryant, Josie Lam, Annette Richards and Linda Miller.

The golfers battled through drizzly and wet conditions on Sunday to finish out the championship.

Rainbow Warriors grab silver at Lakelse regattaBY KEVIN CAMPBELLPRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

Furlong Bay provided the perfect setting for the closing dragon boat race of the year, but a little wind had a few racers puzzled as they crossed the finish line to decide the victors of the ninth annual Lakelse Dragon Boat Regatta.

“When you’re coming to the finish line, you’re aiming to go between two buoys, but the two buoys don’t necessarily stay in one place; they move around with the wind,” said Prince Rupert Rainbow Warrior dragon boat

team member, Cheryl Paavola.“So when you’re coming in, you can’t

tell from the boat which team won. The timers on shore have a different perspective from everybody else. We thought we had won but we weren’t sure. It was so close.”

The Rainbow Warriors’ 27 members were just one team of nine competing, including groups from Terrace, Quesnele, Smithers and Kitimat.

Within the “B” division, the Rainbow Warriors took the silver, finishing just a second behind the Tyhee Lake Dragons and ahead of the Kitimat Free Spirit.

“Our first race was our fastest race and that [time] was 1:19.1,” said Paavola.

But the real treat was the atmosphere and experience of the summer’s closing race, said the paddler.

“It didn’t matter who won, it was such a beautifully-done race. There was nothing we could have done better.”

In addition to the races, the Lakelse Dragons put on the “Ladies of the Lake” Mix-Up race, where all the women of each team can put their name in to compete in a boat with randomly-assigned female members

from different clubs.“It’s so much fun to paddle with

a group of women, I had one of the young ones from Kitimat say to me she paddles on ... a mostly male team ... and to feel all that power knowing it’s just women [pushing the boat along] is amazing,” said Paavola.

Even better, the prize for winning the mix-up race is champagne and chocolate.

“I kept telling people that had never been there before, you’ve got to go in this race ... the other races has trophies. This has the good prize,” she added.


Adrian Liu is becoming quite cosmopolitan as the dog days of summer are coming to a close.

Fresh off an appearance in Glasgow, Scotland at the 20th Commonwealth Games in early August, the world-class Prince Rupert-raised athlete took part in the Badminton World Federation (BWF) 2014 World Championships in Copenhagen, Denmark from Aug. 25 - 31, where he and men’s doubles partner Derrick Ng faced off against a duo from one of badminton’s most prolific countries, Indonesia.

“We found out the draw probably a week before the tournament,” said Liu last week.

Berry Angriawan and Ricky Karanda Suwardi formed Liu’s and Ng’s first test in the 64-team tournament and the Indonesians gave the Canadians everything they had in the first round.

“We were able to check out some video on them but we knew they were going to be a tough team,” he added.

The first game in the match saw the Indonesians pull away early. After leading 4-3, Angriawan and Suwardi scored six straight points to lead 10-3. Liu and Ng couldn’t recover and fell 21-13.

The second game featured a much better start by the Canadian duo as they got off to an 8-4 lead, but couldn’t pull through the middle stretch of the match after the interval and fell by the same score, 21-13 to lose the match.

“The first set was tough - they just came out quite fast. We weren’t quick enough to adapt right at the beginning and then the second set we came out a lot stronger at the interval,” said Liu.

While the Indonesian duo did make it past Liu and

Ng, they would fall in their next match to their fellow countrymen, the ninth-ranked Gideon Markus Fernaldi and Markis Kido.

Indonesia has the fifth-ranked team in the world, composed of men’s, women’s and mixed singles and doubles while Canada is ranked 19th. China, Korea and Japan comprise the top-three nations.

“Our tactics were good. We had all the opportunities we just weren’t finishing where we were supposed to, so it was kind of disappointing,” said Liu.

The Rupertite got a taste of some different partnership styles as he paired up with Canadian Commonwealth women’s singles gold medalist Michelle Li in Scotland before Worlds in Denmark.

“It was amazing,” said Liu.“We’ve played together before ... she’s probably more

controlled with controlled attacking and controlled defence as well. Derrick’s a little more explosive and aggressive usually.”

The two reached the round of 32 before falling to Singapore in the mixed doubles category.

For the duration of August, Liu stayed with a Danish coach, learning the ins and outs of the mental side of the game and fine-tuning his performance before Worlds took place.

“We were just focusing a lot on the concentration factor and more patterns and techniques. We’ve just got to work it into our own game and see how it goes from there, but it was good,” he said.

For now, the Richmond-based athlete is home, preparing for the Badminton Pan American Championships happening in Toronto from Oct. 13-19.

Masset Mayor and council got their fi rst look at the dual propeller Otter plane that Air Tindi will use to fl y between Masset and Terrace three times per week when it landed on Sept. 3.

Flights to connect Masset to TerraceAir Tindi to fly three days per week

BY JOSH MASSEYMASSET / The Northern View

Residents of Haida Gwaii will soon be able to book direct flights to Terrace.

As soon as details are worked out with Transport Canada, Yellowknife-based Air Tindi will start a thrice-weekly service from Masset using an 18-passenger Twin Otter aircraft.

Air Tindi is a sister company to Great Slave Helicopters which already has a base at the airport.

“We have had a helicopter presence [in Terrace] since last year and it made sense for fixed wing,” said company vice president Trevor Wever, adding that he expects most passengers will be flying for work related to industrial development in the Terrace area.

“The pipeline activity in the region,” Wever quickly responded when asked what industry growth is driving his decision to operate a Masset-Terrace flight.

“And we have several aboriginal

partners in that area with our sister company.”

Air Tindi has already flown a Twin Otter to Terrace and it’s available for charter work pending Transport Canada approval for the Terrace-Masset service. Wever said the company could also bring in smaller aircraft for other charter work.

Masset mayor Andrew Merilees is enthusiastic about the new service to his remote island town and says that it will also open up recreational possibilities for local residents.

“It is fantastic for Haida Gwaii to increase connectivity east to west in the province rather than having everything based out of Vancouver,” said Merilees.

“It’s really positive for islanders to connect to Terrace and the services it offers, including health care and shopping, and for people in Terrace I think it will open up Haida Gwaii as a vacation spot and also the inexpensive housing that is on Haida Gwaii,” he added.

The days the flight will take place and the cost of the flight to Terrace have yet to be announced by the company, but it is expected the entire flight will take approximatly 55 minutes..

Merillees also hinted that the reduced BC Ferry Service from Prince Rupert to Haida Gwaii means that a new flight service is a much appreciated additional transportation option.

“It’s great when we have been getting less and less connected to have this in Haida Gwaii,” he said.

Wever said that the reduced ferry service between Prince Rupert and Haida Gwaii is a coincidental benefit for the service his company plans to provide but was not a consideration in choosing to start the new service.

“It is fantastic for “It is fantastic for Haida Gwaii to increase Haida Gwaii to increase

Potlatch to reaffirm peace among nations

BY SHAUN THOMAS OLD MASSETT / The Northern View

Residents of Haida Gwaii are being invited to bear witness to a historical agreement between the Haida Nation and the Heiltsuk Nation next Saturday at the Community Hall in Old Massett.

The two nations will come together on Sept. 20 for a Peace Treaty Potlatch, hosted by the Council of the Haida Nation, beginning at 1 p.m. Those in attendance will witness to the signing to the treaty of peace, respect and responsibility between the Haida and the Heiltsuk, with a feast, dancing and cultural sharing to follow the protocol signing.

This isn’t the first time the nations have come together for a peace treaty, with the first taking place on Heiltsuk Territory back in the 1800s at a time when the two were engaged in violent conflict that wiped out large numbers of the population.

The Haida Chief and Heiltsuk Chief made a verbal agreement to end the conflict and exchanged three songs to recognize the agreement, songs that are still performed today when Haida and Heiltsuk members gather.

The event on Sept. 20 will be not only to celebrate that spirit of peace but to formally enter that agreement into the records. With dignitaries and members of the Heiltsuk attending, it is expected to be a major event on Haida Gwaii.

The potlatch is open to anyone, but attendees are expected to stay for the duration of the potlatch until the gifts are given out at the event and to spread word of what they witnessed.

The Council of the Haida Nation, which has members volunteering to ensure the potlatch runs smoothly, is asking people to bring enough dishes and cutlery for the entire family.

People from around the world will soon be able to take in the majestic sites of Gwaii Haanas National Park from the comfort of their own homes.

Parks Canada staff will be spending the next week capturing some of the park’s natural beauty with the Google “Trekker”, which will allow Gwaii Haanas to be a part of the Google Street View program.

“It’s essentially a backpack with a camera overhead that captures 360-degree 3D images, so we will have people walking through some significant areas and capturing those images,” said superintendent Ernie Gladstone, pointing to K’uuna Llnaagaay, T’aanuu Llnagaay, Hlk’yah GaawGa, Gandll K’in Gwaay.yaay and SGang Gwaay as just some of the sites to be visited.

“A lot of people don’t get to see Gwaii Haanas in person because it is so remote and, for some, expensive to get to so this will allow people to see it from a visitor point of view and, we hope, inspire more people to come.”

The equipment is coming to the islands as part of a partnership between Parks Canada and Google, a partnership that has also included Google Street View equipment

capturing areas in Gulf Islands National Park Reserve and Glacier National Park for Google Maps.

“We’re very fortunate to be able to use this equipment in Gwaii Haanas,” said Gladstone.

“It will be an opportunity for us to bring Gwaii Haanas to people wherever they may be.”

Following the gathering of images from the park, residents of Haida

Gwaii are invited to learn more about the equipment itself.

Parks Canada’s Jeff Bolingbroke, from Glacier and Mount Revelstoke National Parks, will be at the Haida Heritage Centre at 7:30 p.m. on September 17 to talk to those who want to see the Google Street View Trekker and hear about his recent visit to document some of Gwaii Haanas’ iconic places.

Street View coming to Gwaii HaanasStreet View coming to Gwaii HaanasSD50 links to learning tools

BY SHAUN THOMAS HAIDA GWAII / The Northern View

Haida Gwaii School District superintendent Angus Wilson is telling parents to expect the ongoing teacher strike to last through the coming weeks.

“Negotiations between the employer and union collapsed ... this means that teachers are still on strike and parents should not expect regular school for at least the next week and likely beyond,” he wrote on the school district website.

“At this point, we do not know for certain when school will commence, but be assured that as soon as the two parties conclude a tentative agreement, school will resume as soon as possible after that.”

In the meantime the district has created a webpage with links to a number of online learning tools, including free science and math instruction and courses available via iTunes.

“None of these can, of course, replace instruction but they are a good supplement,” he said.

The list of resources can be found at www.sd50.bc.ca.

“We do not “We do not know for know for

certain when certain when school will school will

commence.”commence.”

DrivewayCanada.ca | Welcome to the driver’s seat

The Yukon is GMC Yukon territoryIt’s hard to believe but GMC has never held a vehicle launch for the Yukon full-sized SUV in the Yukon Territory, until now. Media from across Canada landed in Whitehorse and travelled around the territory recently in the all-new 2015 GMC Yukon model, ending up in the famous gold rush time capsule of Dawson City. From the wooden sidewalks to the gravel covered streets, this preserved part of history looks and feels much the way it would when gold was first discovered in 1896. The Yukon is also a great test for this big truck because of the immense stretches of unpopulated roads with smooth sections, potholes and loose gravel. The Yukon has it all, including spectacular vistas, wide-open space and spectacular scenery. Spending three days behind the wheel made me realize what a good job GMC has done with this truck, from fuel economy to creature comforts.

LooksLast year, GM introduced the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra full-size pickup trucks. In fact, the Silver-ado won the North American Truck of the Year and the GMC Sierra won the AJAC truck of the year. With a solid basis, the engineers then went about building the full-sized SUVs based on the truck chassis. They include the Chevrolet Suburban and Tahoe, the GMC Yukon and Denali, plus the Cadillac Escalade. These represent a huge profit centre for General Motors and they needed to get them right. The GMC Yukon is the most popular of the bunch with one-in-three full-sized SUV buyers choosing the Yukon, which is opposite to the United States where the Chevrolet trucks dominate. The top Yukon Denali model traditionally represents about 35 per cent of all Yukon sales but in the first few months of sales, it has captured more than 60 per cent.

Inside The long wheelbase model is an im-posing truck and a favourite of large families that need the third row of seating, plus a functional cargo area. The more popular short wheelbase offers a lot of room as well but when the third row of seats is employed the cargo area is diminished. On all but the base model, the second and third row of seats can be folded and store electronically. The Denali is exceptionally well equipped and shows great attention to detail, with the aluminum trim around the radio and heat controls, leather seating with French stitching. What the GMC Yukon offers over the Cadillac cousin is a simpler dashboard layout with traditional rotary knobs and buttons,

whereas the Cadillac has moved to touch sensitive panels that take time to master.

DriveThe Yukon is offered with two engine choices, the 5.3L 355hp V8 in the base SLE and middle SLT Yukon models and the 6.2L V8 in the Denali. This 6.2L engine is also used in the Escalade. There are several reasons to consider the Denali over the base 5.3L engine. The first is the inclusion of the magnetic ride control system that is also available in the Escalade. This sys-tem adapts the suspension up to 100 times per second and performed well on a variety of road surfaces in the Yukon. The second is a noise cancelling system that pumps sound waves through the Denali’s stereo system to help eliminate unwanted road and engine noise. The third reason is the mighty 6.2L engine with 420hp and 460 lb.-ft. of torque. Because this engine and the 5.3L have direct injection, variable value tim-ing and most importantly, cylinder management, the

V8 can switch off half of the eight cylinders and lean off the fuel mixture to reduce fuel consumption. With more than 1,000 km driven at a range of speeds, the real world consumption was 12L/100 km, close to the 11.4L/100 km official highway rating with the 6.2L engine. All the current Yukon models are equipped with a 6-speed automatic but the 6.2L engines will get an 8-speed this fall, with the 5.3L following next year. AWD is standard on all but the base model and these trucks can tow up to 3856 kg.VerdictThe Yukon is winner on all trim levels. I could find no fault but it is pricey. Starting at $51,800 for the SLE or $60,960 for the SLT and $75,540 for the Denali, this isn’t a cheap prospect. However, the Denali offers most of the same features as the more expensive Cadillac Escalade but is more user-friendly and less expensive.

ANN ARBOR, MI. – If you’re driving to Hell, what kind of car would you want to be in?An SUV? A sports car? One that if you never come back, at least your missing per-son’s report would list you last seen: “in something fast, flashy and awesome?”When my driving partner and I stumbled upon Hell, Michigan, or at least the sign that directed us that way, we were in the all-new, 2015 Hyundai Sonata; a sedan that is now seven generations strong.We had air conditioning in case it got really hot and directions via the navigation system in case we wanted to go to Hell and back and lost our way. And comfortable seats in case the crossing of the River Styx was long and arduous. Furthermore, we had the power to get us out of there if we needed to leave in a hurry.Okay, enough about Hell and back to the car… for 2015, the Sonata gives you two engine options; both of which have been revised for the seventh generation.The first is a peppy 2.4L, 4-cylinder with 185 horsepower and 178 lb-ft of torque.Then there’s the spirited, optional, 2.0-litre twin-scroll turbocharged four-cylinder engine with 245 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. Both engine variants are linked with a 6-speed automatic transmission.There’s a lot going on with Hyundai’s mid-size sedan. It’s built with an all-new chassis, which equates to a more comfortable ride, better handling and an overall improve-ment in NVH (Noise, Vibrations, Harshness.) To test that out, we took it to the streets of Ann Arbor in Michigan, as well

as the backcountry roads that have sweeping corners and tight turns.The first thing I noticed was how much better the handling was, especially when you have it in Sport mode. The 2015 Sonata gives the driver a choice of three drive modes. These modes work together with the sedan’s engine, transmission, and Motor-Driven Power Steering (MDPS) to suit different driver preferences. In Sport, powertrain responsiveness and heavier steering weight are both increased. The steering weight definitely comes in handy on the twisty parts of the road. In Normal mode, steering isn’t as responsive but better suited for urban environments. And if you’re in a fuel saving mood, pop the car into Eco mode. This softens throttle response and recalibrates transmission response so you get the most out of your tank. Speaking of steering, Hyundai mentions, “The 2015 Sonata’s steering wheel features an irregular shape with increased rim thickness and ergonomic grip rests. These subtle changes ensure more of the steering wheel surface remains in contact with the driver’s hands. In turn, the vehicle offers enhanced steering system feel, especially at high speed.”

I’d agree with this. My fingers were comfortably placed at 9 and 3 o’clock and felt pretty good there.But it’s not just the driving modes and steering wheel that make the Sonata as popular as it is. The 2015 comes with all new styling inside and outside.Let’s start with the cabin, since the driver will spend more time looking at a centre stack than they will the front, hexagonal grille.Featuring even higher quality materials than before, it’s softer to the touch and the layout is optimized for the driver. On the outside, you’ll see a family resemblance to the Sona-ta’s big brother, the Genesis. The character line is more pronounced, yet the cumulative look is more sophisticated and mature.It’s a tough segment to be in. When you have frontrunners like the Toyota Camry, Honda Accord, Mazda6 and more, it can get pretty heated. But the Sonata remains cool and col-lected and has the goods to keep up with the best of them. The 2015 Hyundai Sonata has a starting MSRP of $23,999. The top of the line Sport 2.0T Ultimate has an MSRP of $34,799.

A big eco-friendly Lincoln gives a smooth ride

Parking lot etiquette

Why do people put their foot down in supermarket parking lots then blast their horn when somebody has the nerve to slowly back out of a space?

What drives-u-crazy?

[email protected]

The MKS is not just another big Lincoln; it’s an slick ultra-modern full-sized sedan. It was introduced for the 2009 model year and came with just about every new high-tech auto gadget. Unlike the big engine, gas-guzzling Lincolns of yore, a modern V6 engine powers MKS. Both front-drive and all-wheel-drive (AWD) versions of MKS are available. The ‘09’s 3.7-litre V6 is a four-valve per cylinder engine with variable valve tim-ing that can deliver 273 horsepower and 270 lb.-ft. of torque, on regular-grade gasoline. The front-drive version should consume about 14.0 /9.9 L/100 km (city /highway – new adjusted rating) and the AWD edition drinks an additional half-li-tre of gas every hundred kilometres.The transmission is a six-speed automat-ic transmission with an auto sport-shift feature and it also has a sequential manual mode feature. The optional all-wheel-drive (AWD) system defaults to a front-drive mode in normal driving situations, but it can send up to 100 per cent of drive to either the front or rear axle, if needed.The standard equipment list includes stuff like a front park assist sys-tem, intelligent start (a keyless ignition system), adaptive headlamps (that move with steering) and a power rear window sunshade that has an auto retract feature when the MKS is put in reverse. Options came in packages like the popular ($5,000) Vision package that included a navigation system plus adaptive cruise control, a rear back-up camera and a superb THX II 5.1 surround sound audio system.Inside, the MKS has a roomy cabin. Rear seat head and legroom is excellent and they even come with electric heaters. The trunk is another extra-large offering with 521-litres (18.4 cubic feet) of cargo space.Lincoln’s interior theme for the MKS was guilt-free luxury as recycled wood (from reclaimed furniture) was used to make the decorative

trim pieces inside the cabin. An eco-friendly (chromium-free) tanning process is also used by the Scottish leather supplier to give its “Bridge of Weir” upholstery an extra soft feel.A second engine choice was added for the 2010 model year, transmission shifter paddles come with a new steering wheel and a MyKey security system became standard. The new 3.5-litre “EcoBoost” turbocharged direct-injection V6 engine, offered more power, yet provides about the same fuel economy, as the base 3.7 litre V6 and came as part of a new GTDI trim level. No other running changes of significance were made to MKS for the 2011 or 2012 model years.

Higher than average repair problems, particularly with the braking system, show up on the Consumer Reports reliability surveys, but average to good ratings in most other areas has allowed the MKS achieve an overall “average” reliability history rating. Crash safety ratings for the MKS are excellent and it’s an overall “Top Pick” in its class, according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. A pre-owned Lincoln MKS is an even more attractive purchase when you consider that it probably cost in excess of $50,000, when brand new, to put it on the road. A used MKS can be a good buy, especially if you plan to do some long distance driving.

Finding an older model Lincoln MKS can offer a luxurious but fuel friendly ride. BOB MCHUGH
